Japan is bracing itself for the arrival of one of the strongest storms to sweep across the Pacific in decades. Typhoon Neoguri is expected to reach the southern region of Okinawa.

Forecasters say winds gusting in excess of 250km/h (150mph) could create 14-metre high waves.

People in the most exposed areas have been told to seek shelter in community centres.

go to the dealership with the other party and then the creditor has to approve the person seeking to take over the lease; dealership may also try and convince the guy not to take over your lease and get a new lease

I agree they do look intimidating but more importantly, imo, is they're ugly and don't flow with the vibe of the city

the VPD should have gone with the Ford Taurus like the RCMP those look great :megusta:

People forget that the police/police cars aren't just there to intimidate petty criminals, that's really just a small part of it, they represent the city and are a beacon to regular citizens and more importantly tourists

but ultimately I just think they're ugly ;)

So I'm sure most of us have heard of ISIS by now right? Syrian Rebels that were getting training/funding from the US/UK/FR (although its claimed ISIS never received training/support)

who ended up invading Iraq to push back Iranian support forces for Syrian President Assad

who in said invasion of Iraq faced no resistance from Iraqi forces

Iraqi forces that dropped their US weapons and discarded their US tanks/humvees/etc

which ISIS conveniently collected and brought back into Syria and subsequently took over a Syrian oil field

we've all heard of that ISIS right?

Well it turns out ISIS has raided a university in Mosul which had a supply of Uranium provided to them for research.... :seriously: and ISIS now has 88lbs of Uranium but the IAEA says not to worry because its "low grade"

if that doesn't scream conspiracy theory & tom clancy novel i don't know what will

Oh and ISIS also took over a former Chemical Weapons Storage facility that was bombed during the 1st gulf war but never cleared as its a toxic site now

[Hondaracer]

honestly i dont really care about these small militant groups getting their hands on small amounts of low grade materials.

Watch the Mega Ships on the USS Kentucky destroyer submarine. It has like 12 Triton missles which each carry 4 warheads that do like 600% more effective area than the best North Korea is assumed to posses

You do realize there are different grades of uranium right? Just having uranium doesn't let them do much, unless they have the facilities and skills to produce highly enriched uranium there's not much of anything they can do with it.

US does all kinds of shady shit. If you haven't already, look up VICE on youtube they have tons of first hand documentaries/news reports from the area. I have a coworker who is from syria and fled here about a year ago -- he says he's fortunate and he's in the few, he also said that his families' views were that the syrian government wasn't doing them any wrong -- they weren't happy but they weren't upset either. He says no Syrian that he knows supported the rebels coming in and 'fighting for them" -- America is really in a precarious position right now IMO.

And the type of warfare they are getting themselves into isn't one where their huge weapons can save them, they aren't fighting a single country or race so it's almost impossible for them to tell friend from foe. If you watch the Vice documentaries the one thing you'll notice is all the villagers they interview say they're scared because they have no idea whose taliban/al-queda and whose not. If america does try to use its weapons there will be tons of civilian casualties because the people who they need to go after are all hidden in plain sight

America didn't even allow its translators from the iraq war citizenship, even though they're legally obliged to, and now the iraqi translators who helped them in the war are being hunted/killed like wild animals (also on vice, if you're interested)

"Some experts say could" =/= expected to be used for. The amount of uranium has also changed in that article, what we need to know is how much of which kinds of uranium they had. Since there were previously concerns about Iraq creating nuclear weapons it's unlikely they were given weapons grade uranium, more likely they were given reactor grade uranium which is completely different.

Also every article I've read from vice "news" has been just as full of bullshit as the major outlets, just from the opposite direction.

obese guy in NY (former city worker) supposedly broke up a fight but NYPD recognize him as someone who sells untaxed cigarettes so they hassle him and it escalates into an arrest which leads to a chokehold where the obese guy keeps saying he can't breathe and finally the obese guy dies

the Chokehold has been banned for use in the NYPD for over 20 years now

Police Brutality: Black Man 'Eric Garner' killed by Police for braking up a fight - YouTube

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/19/nyregion/staten-island-man-dies-after-he-is-put-in-chokehold-during-arrest.html

The 350-pound man, about to be arrested on charges of illegally selling cigarettes, was arguing with the police. When an officer tried to handcuff him, the man pulled free. The officer immediately threw his arm around the man’s neck and pulled him to the ground, holding him in what appears, in a video, to be a chokehold. The man can be heard saying “I can’t breathe” over and over again as other officers swarm about.

Now, the death of the man, Eric Garner, 43, soon after the confrontation on Thursday on Staten Island, is being investigated by the police and prosecutors. At the center of the inquiry is the officer’s use of a chokehold — a dangerous maneuver that was banned by the New York Police Department more than 20 years ago but that the department cannot seem to be rid of.

“As defined in the department’s patrol guide, this would appear to have been a chokehold,” the police commissioner, William J. Bratton, said at a news conference in City Hall on Friday afternoon.

He referred to police rules that forbid chokeholds and define them as including “any pressure to the throat or windpipe, which may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce intake of air.”

The Civilian Complaint Review Board, an independent city agency that investigates allegations of police abuse, logged 233 allegations involving chokeholds in 2013, making up 4.4 percent of the excessive-force complaints it received. Although only a tiny fraction of the chokehold complaints that the agency receives are ever substantiated, the number of complaints has generally been rising.

A decade ago, when the review board was receiving a comparable number of force complaints, chokehold allegations were less frequent. They made up 2.3 percent of the excessive-force complaints in 2003, and no more than 2.7 percent in 2004.

“My throat was on his forearm,” one man who was arrested in Queens testified in April in an internal police disciplinary proceeding, describing how he “could barely breathe” after an officer allegedly placed him in a chokehold.

It is unclear if the chokehold contributed to the death on Thursday afternoon of Mr. Garner, who was at least 6 feet 3 inches tall and who, friends said, had several health issues: diabetes, sleep apnea, and asthma so severe that he had to quit his job as a horticulturist for the city’s parks department. He wheezed when he talked and could not walk a block without resting, they said.

Nonetheless, the use of a chokehold in subduing a large but unarmed man during a low-level arrest raises for Mr. Bratton the same questions about police training and tactics that he faced 20 years ago, in his first stint as New York City’s police commissioner.

In 1994, the year after the Police Department banned chokeholds, a man named Anthony Baez died in the Bronx after a police officer put him in a chokehold during a dispute over a touch football game.

At City Hall on Friday, Mr. Bratton said he did not believe that the use of chokeholds by police officers in New York City was a widespread problem, saying this was his “first exposure” to the issue since returning as police commissioner in January.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, standing next to Mr. Bratton, said, “Like so many New Yorkers I was very troubled by the video,” referring to a bystander’s recording of the incident, which was posted on the website of The New York Daily News. The two police officers who initially confronted Mr. Garner have been temporarily taken off patrol duty. The police declined to name the officers but said one of them had been on the force for eight years and the other for four years.

Late Friday, the mayor’s office announced that Mr. de Blasio was postponing his family’s departure on a planned vacation to Italy from Friday evening until Saturday. The postponement was to allow Mr. de Blasio to spend more time making calls to elected officials, community leaders and members of the clergy, and talking to the police, about Mr. Garner’s death, the mayor’s press secretary, Phil Walzak, said.

The encounter between Mr. Garner and plainclothes officers, from the 120th Precinct, began after the officers accused Mr. Garner of illegally selling cigarettes, an accusation he was familiar with. He had been arrested more than 30 times, often accused of selling loose cigarettes bought outside the state, a common hustle designed to avoid state and city tobacco taxes. In March and again in May, he was arrested on charges of illegally selling cigarettes on the sidewalk.

For years, Mr. Garner chafed at the scrutiny by the police, which he considered harassment. In 2007, he filed a handwritten complaint in federal court accusing a police officer of conducting a cavity search of him on the street, “digging his fingers in my rectum in the middle of the street” while people passed by.

More recently, Mr. Garner told lawyers at Legal Aid that he intended to take all the cases against him to trial. “He was adamant he wouldn’t plead guilty to anything,” said Christopher Pisciotta, the lawyer in charge of the Staten Island office of Legal Aid.

Despite all the scrutiny from the police, most days Mr. Garner, a father of six, would stand on Bay Street, in the Tompkinsville neighborhood, his ankles visibly swollen, hawking loose Lucky cigarettes for 50 cents each.

On Thursday, when officers confronted him nearby and accused him of selling tobacco to a man in a red shirt, Mr. Garner reacted with exasperation, suggesting he was not going to cooperate. “I’m tired of it,” he said. “This stops today.”

“I didn’t do nothing,” Mr. Garner tells an officer. “Every time you see me, you want to harass me, you want to stop me.”

At one point he has his hands on his hips; at other points he is gesturing energetically. “Please just leave me alone,” he says. In the video, Mr. Garner can be seen crawling forward on the ground as an officer hangs on with his arm around Mr. Garner’s neck. Other officers surround Mr. Garner.

Soon, the officer releases his grip around Mr. Garner’s neck and, kneeling, presses Mr. Garner’s head into the sidewalk.

Mr. Garner was pronounced dead a short time later at Richmond University Medical Center.

Mr. Pisciotta, the Legal Aid lawyer who knew Mr. Garner as a frequent client, said he was struck by how quickly the officers resorted to putting “him into a chokehold,” perhaps in reaction to Mr. Garner’s formidable size.

Mr. Pisciotta said that Mr. Garner, however imposing his appearance, was “a gentle giant,” who was known for breaking up fights.

“To me it looks like they saw a mountain of a man and they decided to take him down using immediate and significant force,” Mr. Pisciotta said.

On Friday, a woman at Mr. Garner’s home, who identified herself as a cousin named Stephanie, said: “The family is very, very sad. We’re in shock. Why did they have to grab him like that?”

James Garner, 86 passed away (Rockford Files, Grand Prix) RIP

Wouldn't normally post an actor such as he as he hasn't been relevant to anyone for decades (or else i'd give it a separate thread) but this guy was a car guy and a racer so here you go

Car & Driver interview from 2012

What I'd Do Differently: James Garner

The part-time racer, full-time acting legend, and coauthor of The Garner Files autobiography talks, at 84, about a life spent playing with cars.


C/D: Were cars a big part of growing up in Oklahoma?

JG: Cars were a luxury and a necessity when I started driving, at the age of 10. They were a luxury because we were poor. They were a necessity because we loved them. By the time I was 13 or 14, I was playing “Ditch ’Em.” We’d line up six or eight cars, and the first one would take off and try to lose the rest. Or if I was cruising around town and I saw another hotshot, I’d get behind him and tap his bumper, and the race would be on. It was during World War II, and gas was rationed, so we had to steal it. We’d go up to a car in the middle of the night and siphon off a few gallons. We had fun, and nobody got hurt because we were all good drivers. Or so we thought. Maybe we were just lucky.


C/D: What was your first car?

JG: It was a gray 1952 Dodge coupe. It wasn’t quite a “rolling disaster,” but it was ugly. I bought it with my mustering-out pay from the army, plus the cash I won in a poker game on the ship home from Korea.


C/D: When Maverick became a hit, did you buy a nice car?

JG: Couldn’t afford one! Even though Maverick was the top show on television, I was stuck in a studio contract that paid only a few hundred bucks a week. When I took my wife, Lois, to the premiere of West Side Story, I was so ashamed of my old heap, I had to borrow Natalie Wood’s Cadillac.


C/D: Did you get along with the Formula 1 drivers during the filming of Grand Prix?

JG: They were very competitive with each other, but they were also a band of brothers united by skill and courage. I got along with them all, especially Richie Ginther and Graham Hill (I called him “Mr. Smooth”), and I was very impressed by a young Jackie Stewart.


C/D: You raced many different types of cars but most prominently off-roaders. What was your greatest racing success?

JG: I was always happy just to finish the Baja 1000 and was lucky enough to do it more times than not. Racing is full of disappointments, of course, and I had my share, but I try not to dwell on them.


C/D: Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and you are generally considered the three most talented actor/drivers. Put the three of you in equal cars, and who would win?

JG: Steve was a pretty good driver—the best, if you asked him. He had natural talent, but he was reckless. Paul was very precise behind the wheel. He bagged a bunch of SCCA titles. But if all three of us were in a race, whether on a road course or an oval or a dirt track, I wouldn’t bet against myself.


C/D: How did your production team settle on Jim Rockford’s Firebird?

JG: I liked the looks of the Firebird, and I thought it was the kind of blue-collar car that Jim Rockford would drive. I’m sure he would have liked a Trans Am (I drove one in real life at the time) but couldn’t afford it. The only modification we made was to stouten up the suspension to handle all the stunts. The sticker price of the 1970 Firebird Esprit was about $3000, and Pontiac didn’t give us cars—we bought three new ones every season. We had two backups in case of damage or breakdowns because we couldn’t afford to stop production for repairs.

C/D: Of the cars you’ve owned over the years, is there any one you regret selling?

JG: I wish I’d held onto my pale-blue 1966 Mini Cooper. After shooting The Great Escape in Germany, Steve McQueen and I both brought Minis home with us—they had to be among the first imported to the U.S. Steve was my next-door neighbor, and we’d race them up and down our street. I loved that little car and could do anything with it.


C/D: Of the race drivers you’ve known, which ones would you consider friends?

JG: The 1963 Indy 500 winner, Parnelli Jones, and I became good friends when we were both on the Bronco team at the Baja 1000 in the late 1960s. He won the Baja twice but said the race was like “being in a 24-hour plane crash.”


C/D: The reverse 180-degree turn has been nicknamed the “Rockford.” Are you disappointed no one calls it the “Garner”?

JG: Not at all because I didn’t invent it, and neither did Jim Rockford. It’s really just a reverse 180, also known as a “moonshiner’s turn.” You’re driving straight in reverse at about 35 miles an hour, and you come off the gas pedal and go hard left, which pushes the front end around. Then you shift, punch the gas, and you’re off.


C/D: Looking back, is there anything you’d have done differently?

JG: I’m a country boy out of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl who came to Hollywood, got famous, made some money, traveled the world and met all kinds of people, and had great friends and a wonderful family. Would I have done anything differently? Hell, no!

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere before but I thought it was kind of neat (mainly because I hate spiders but I don't like squishing them). If you want to see how it works without watching him build it, just skip to 4:05 in the video. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work for something like a wolf spider or other large arachnids but it would probably be okay for house widows (the dark brown widow spiders commonly found in bathrooms). Or if you want to move a spider from your garden/balcony to somewhere else.

Please be reminded that if it is raining and you are on the freeway, you really need to turn on the headlights. I was on my way back from my bi weekly trip to the US and the weather was horrible. One out of ten cars or so had their tail lights on. The rest were pretty much invisible from the spray off of tires. So many people assume tail lights come on with their daytime running lights. What's even worse is most new cars' dash lights are on all the time giving people the sense their headlights are on. I don't know what else we can do to educate the public. I tried to explain it to the people at traffic radio, but they are pretty clueless as to how to explain it. "Make sure your tail lights are on," means nothing to people.

Also, be careful out there. The roads are pretty slick.

So...Québec just initiated a new law on herrafrush cars...
Those nogoodniks up in the frozen French north of Quebec just decided to ban your sweet, sweet hellaflush ride, all because stancing it out affects handling and maneuverability in a province with snow nine months out of the year. But we all know that really, it's just The Man trying to keeping you down.

And The Man doesn't even care how much you spent on those rims for your mom's Honda.

The best part about this whole thing is that the Quebec government, which apparently thinks that hellaflush cars are such a problem that they've issued a directive explaining why the style is prohibited, and how to recognize the stanced menace:

Hellaflush

Le hellaflush est une pratique esthétique réalisée au détriment de la tenue de route et de la maniabilité d'un véhicule. Il s'agit d'une mode qui consiste à :

abaisser la suspension d'un véhicule;
installer des jantes surdimensionnées et déportées (offset supérieur à celui des jantes originales);
monter des pneus trop étroits pour la jante (tire stretching).
Ces modifications, qui affectent la géométrie de la suspension du véhicule, sont généralement observables par la présence d'un carrossage négatif (
negative camber

) exagéré. Voici un tour d'horizon des principales modifications entraînées par le

hellaflush

et les raisons pour lesquelles cette pratique est interdite.
Yes, they actually used the term "hellaflush." In case your French is a bit poor, OppositeLock user Luc.A. kindly translated the first bit into English:


Quebec to be the First Province to Ban Hellaflush
Yes, you read correctly. The SAAQ has prohibited you to "hellaflush" your vehicle, even…
Read on oppositelock.​jalopnik.​com
Hellaflush is a practice of cosmetic modifications that comes to the detriment of handling and road holding capabilities which consist of:

Lowering the suspension of the vehicle
Installing oversized and offset wheels (offset greater than of the stock wheels)
Installing tires too narrow for the wheels (tire stretching).
These modifications,that affect the geometry of the vehicles suspension, are generally observed by the presence of exaggerated negative camber. This is an overview of the principals of hellaflush and the reason this practice is prohibited.
The directive goes on to explain that tire manufacturers never intended for their precious rubbery products to be stretched, which would massively compromise their handling characteristics, and how adjusting the camber past the point of practicality makes maneuverability, well, unpractical.

Don't worry if you've got your car looking so, so, good already, and you think you might have to run all the way to Moncton to escape those Big Government nuts in Laval. Right now, the worst that can happen is that a cop can pull you over and send you to get your car inspected, at which point you will be informed that your car did not pass inspection, and if you want it on the road again you'll have to put it back the way it was.

Oh, and your insurance company is legally allowed to refuse to compensate you for a claim, if your car has been modified beyond manufacturer standards.

But hey, long live free Quebec, or something.

This summer, the soft drink giant has its fans – and probably even some folks that aren’t big cola drinkers – scanning the soda aisle looking for their very own bottle of Coke.

As its latest promotion the company has placed more than 1,000 names on 375 milliliter and 500 milliliter bottles of Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero. That’s just in the U.S.

Other nations have names more specific to their locale. For example. in South Africa you can “Share a Coke” with Ayanda or in New Zealand you can “Share a Coke” with Paora.


Couldn't believe some of the names I saw today - Huang, Chen, Jonalyn.

Most of them are too stupid to know what high beams are. A lot of people don't know how any of the features on their vehicles work. These people are challenged with steering the vehicle within the lines on the road and knowing which pedal is the gas and which one is the brake. Anything beyond that is too complicated. I guess they know how to fill up the gas tank.

not sure if it deserves its own thread or not....but, new toonie coming out on oct 4th

Iconic Province photo will be engraved on new toonie (http://www.theprovince.com/Iconic+Province+photo+will+engraved+toonie/10094846/story.html)

http://www.theprovince.com/cms/binary/10094847.jpg
Anyone wanting to pick up a new toonie picturing Canada’s iconic war photograph, Wait For Me, Daddy, will want to be in New Westminster on Oct. 4.

That’s when the Royal Canadian Mint will unveil the new $2 coin and exchange it with anyone showing up with an old one.

The mint’s announcement last month was the latest honour being given to the famous photograph, which shows a boy (Whitey Bernard) running after his father as he marches off to the Second World War through the streets of New Westminster.

The photo, published around the world as a classic statement of war’s impact, was taken by Province photographer Claud Dettloff at Columbia and 8th streets on Oct. 4, 1940.

Dettloff’s photo is also being honoured with a stamp and a statue in New West.

“It’s going to be a triple unveiling,” said New West Coun. Lorrie Williams on Wednesday. “It’s a big day for the city.”

Williams said the mint initially rejected her proposal for the coin, but she persuaded officials in a followup face-to-face meeting in Ottawa.

“I’m like a bulldog,” she said. “There are two famous Canadian photographs. This one and The Last Spike. I convinced them that this is bigger than they realized.”

The statue will be placed on the round platform at Hyack Square.

Genevieve Raiche-Savoie, an instructor at the Emily Carr University of Art, said it will be a challenge to compress the piece’s emotional content onto a very small space.

“This is already an iconic piece of art, it’s going to become a symbol once it’s put on a coin,” she said.

“I believe this is one of the first times a photograph has been used for a coin. It’s a new approach,” she said.

Big Bang A 'Mirage' Caused By A 4D Black Hole. Maybe (http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/09/17/4-dimensional-black-hole-big-bang_n_3941690.html)

Basically the theory is our 3D universe was created from a 4D star implosion which created a 4D black hole with a 3D event horizon, in which our 3D universe exists.

Much like our 3D stars implode and create 3D blackholes with 2D event horizons.

Meaning in every 3D blackhole that exists here, there must be a 2D universe that exists within the event horizon.

Not trying to be cheeky, but I wAnder if Mint Canada would ever strike a toonie with an image depicting Chinese labourers toiling away on the CPR project or a photo of Canadian citizens being herded like cattle at Hastings Park. Probably not, but there are more than two sides to a coin.

Also, this is not disrespecting Stewie's post, as I see it as a very important subject. It just got me thinking about the other things related. Last spike vs the sacrifices made and Canadian soldiers going off to war to fight for freedom vs internment camps. All part of our history.

Tony Stewart (Nascar driver) ran over another racer during a yellow flag


Tyler Graves, a sprint-car racer and friend of Ward's, told Sporting News in a phone interview that he was sitting in the Turn 1 grandstands and saw everything that happened.

"Tony pinched him into the frontstretch wall, a racing thing," Graves said. "The right rear tire went down, he spun on the exit of (Turn) 2. They threw the caution and everything was toned down. Kevin got out of his car. … He was throwing his arms up all over the place at Tony for most of the corner.

"I know Tony could see him. I know how you can see out of these cars. When Tony got close to him, he hit the throttle. When you hit a throttle on a sprint car, the car sets sideways. It set sideways, the right rear tire hit Kevin, Kevin was sucked underneath and was stuck under it for a second or two and then it threw him about 50 yards."

Rich Willis, who was at the track, said he didn’t see exactly what happened but his sister down in Turn 1 did. His description was similar to that of Graves.

“People (who could see it better) said the guy got out of his car and was gesturing angrily at Tony Stewart when Tony Stewart came by during the next lap under yellow,” Willis said in a phone interview. “He approached him and evidently when he was driving by the guy standing on the track gesturing at him, he gunned his engine.

“What happened was the back end kicked out and clipped the guy and the guy flew across the track.”

For those who dont watch racing, Sprint Cars have a large right rear tire and turn sideways hard under power.

Why the hell would you court death like that by going on to the track? Rest in Peace, but at the same time, Darwin Award nominee or what?

Stewart probably wanted to scare the kid a bit, but it all went sideways (pun intended).

hopefully people won't be using those to steal rims/tires with locknuts on them

[MG1]

that's why I have aftermarket alarm with level, motion, and glass sensors.

[godwin]

Well I doubt the socket can fit into bolt / nut wheel of expensive rims. I think you can probably use them on cheap steel wheels.

hopefully people won't be using those to steal rims/tires with locknuts on them

[MindBomber]

I don't know whether I see that design of socket working too well.

In a lot of situations it seems like it would be difficult to get the slotted screw tight. It's also massive and wouldn't fit in a lot places.

With the number of designs of rounded bolt removers, I'll stick with the proven designs/techniques of vice grips, smaller sockets, hammer/chisel, twist sockets, nut splitters, and ensuring the socket is loose (because it being seized is likely the reason it stripped).

[Jmac]

Slot design is awful. Robertson, Torx, or Hex would've been a way better way to go.

Also interesting that he uses a channel-lock to tighten it in the demo video, which indicates to me that:

1) The slot design is a known issue already.
2) They should've used a hex head, which would've allowed you to tighten your socket with a socket (insert Xzibit meme here) or a crescent wrench.

Both are a million times better than slot. You can't torque slot at all and the driver slips out easily.

Absolutely........ having said that, though, most wood screws used to be all slotted. We're talking 30+ years back. One had no choice but to be good with a slotted screwdriver. A good screwdriver, properly made and tipped was a must. Then came the Robertson, a Canadian invention. Along with philips, frearson, torx, and others, it made slotted head screws a thing of the past. In any case, the right size screwdriver is ever so important.

“The three buses offering this service are: 8125, 9258, 9266,” TransLink said in a statement.

The transit provider said the buses will be tasked to the 99 B-Line on Broadway, 351 White Rock-Richmond route and the 555 express at Braid-Carvolth route.

All the buses are also covered with large Telus-brand advertising for easy identification.

“The current contract is for six months with the option to end the agreement at any time or to extend it another six months for a total of one year,” said TransLink, adding there are “no plans” to expand the service right now.

Telus spokeswoman Liz Sauve said there’s a social media “scavenger” challenge with two Samsung tablets up for grabs as part of the launch.

The contest runs until Sunday.

“All people have to do, if they’re on Twitter, is snap the photo of the bus on the road and tweet it using the hashtag #TelusWiFiBus,” she said.

To connect to the WiFi, riders simply select “TelusWiFi,” and follow the prompts on a webpage that will pop up, said Sauve.

TransLink said the reason it’s doing the program is to “improve the customer experience on transit” and to find new funding through advertising.

Advertising revenue has steadily been increasing for TransLink, totalling $9.3 million last year, up from $8.1 million in 2011, the authority said.

Burnaby woman randomly stabbed in the leg with needle | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2014/08/13/burnaby-woman-randomly-stabbed-in-the-leg-with-needle/)

BURNABY (NEWS1130) – Burnaby RCMP are asking for your help to find the person involved in what police are calling an unprovoked assault that happened last Friday morning.

Just before 10:30 a.m. a woman was walking eastbound on the south side of Kingsway and was stopped at a light at McKay Avenue when a man, standing next to her, stabbed her in the leg with a needle. There was something in the syringe, but that information isn’t being released right now.

She was treated in the hospital and released soon after.

“While the nature of this incident is a significant concern for police, it is also highly unusual. As of today, we’ve had no other reported incidents,” says Inspector Bob Page. “The suspect’s description stands out and we remain hopeful that someone will identify him. That’s why we are urging the public to share the suspect’s description with your families and friends.”

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned man with dyed, short blond hair. He’s about 35-years-old and 5’7″ tall. He was wearing a light blue tank top, dark jeans and was carrying three shopping bags.

If you know anything about this case or were in the area at the time, you are asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604.294.7922 or CrimeStoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS (8477).

CP Rail rolled in and started clearing stuff along the Arbutus Corridor. Freeloaders upset.

http://www.news1130.com/files/2014/08/gardens.jpg

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) (http://www.news1130.com/2014/08/14/cp-rail-starts-clearing-arbutus-corridor/) – Many thought it was a bluff by Canadian Pacific.

Community gardeners in Marpole found out Thursday CP is completely serious about clearing the Arbutus Corridor to use as a railway track again.

A bulldozer ripped up structures, gardens and fencing near West 70th Ave., leaving piles of wood, roots and dead flowers.

Parker Cook lives in Marpole and says while CP has the right to clear its land, it could have waited until the harvest was over.

“It looks like a hurricane went through there, frankly. It’s amazing how much work people had put in them.”

Cook scoffs at the message from CP that the railway needs additional rail for training and storage, calling it “a load of BS.”

Maria says her seven-year-old garden full of herbs and vegetables was destroyed, but she says she can’t complain because she didn’t pay for it. “That is not mine, it’s okay. I had a good time, exercise.”

Deanna Rexe, who lives in a housing co-op beside the track, says the July 31 deadline came and went, but on Thursday, the heavy equipment and CP police officers appeared.

Rexe and others who have gardens along the line were told by police that they had 20 minutes to clear out.

“That’s why we’re working in a hurry to harvest, and to save the flowers so we can move them elsewhere in the property,” she said as she uprooted plants in her garden.

Sarah Myambo has been growing vegetables for 25 years on her garden plot and watched as the heavy equipment rolled into the area.

“I can’t even cry. I have no tears,” she said. “I just cannot believe it.”

CP told residents in a recent letter that contractors will be making their way along the corridor, identifying needed track improvements and removing items throughout August and September.

“CP is doing what it said it would do; complete the necessary work, which includes the safe removal of vegetation and obstructions, to begin to get the track and infrastructure in the area up to federal operating standards,” spokeswoman Breanne Feigel said in an email.

“We approached the work today carefully and were respectful to our neighbours along this corridor. CP Police and other officials were on the property today to ensure public safety as machinery was being used.”

The company also said on its website that for many years, it has been involved in conversations to convert the Arbutus Corridor for a number of combined public uses, such as “a greenway, public transportation, community gardens and eco-density development.”

“Despite our efforts, the company and other parties have been unable to achieve a plan for the disposition of this valuable asset,” it said.

“As such, we are moving forward with upgrading this rail line to ensure it meets the regulated safety requirements for our operations.”

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson wasn’t available for an interview, but said in an emailed statement, “It’s very disappointing, given there is no business case for reactivating cargo trains. We’ve asked CP to respect the wishes of the local neighbourhood, and to continue to work with the city towards a long-term solution.”

In late July, Robertson sent a letter to Canadian Pacific CEO Hunter Harrison, noting the city disagrees with the company on a fair market value for the land. He also asked the company to not remove community gardens along the rail line.

“In fairness to the residents along the corridor, over the last 14 years there have been no trains, minimal upkeep and little to no interest in this greenway from CP,” the letter said.

“No one disputes CP’s legal rights; however, the very short notice given for removal of any and all encroaching uses has created a huge amount of anxiety, especially given the many years these uses have been allowed and not objected to by CP.”

[MG1]

Freeloaders is right. It wasn't their land in the first place. They're no better than squatters. They should in fact thank the company for warning them ahead of time and letting them garden for free for all those years. Just my two bits.

[underscore]

^ agreed, considering CP gave them notice they really have nothing to complain about.

[underscore]

I know that battery powered electric cars are a silly idea, but just how large are the battery packs required in them? I'm curious if they could be redesigned to be more swappable to extend range/reduce charge waits.

[SpeedStars]

^ do you mean cars like the Model S or those diy electric cars? In the model S, the batteries take up like 6 sq feet of space and they're just smaller batteries all connected

[underscore]

Yeah things like the Model S. 6sqft worth is gonna be heavy but with some mechanical assistance it wouldn't be too bad to store 2-3 you could quickly swap to get going again.

[godwin]

There was a company called Better Place They went backrupt.

The fact is the infrastructure to swap batteries cost a lot of money.. and higher DC charger can charger the battery pack in 30 minutes these days.

The key to better charger is waiting for 48V to be standard for car infrastructure.. probably in the next year or 2.

The problem with Tesla is they don't have a good source for IC engine.. you see the advantage of BMW in cases like these they dropped in their 3 cylinder engines in cases of i3 and i8.

Yeah things like the Model S. 6sqft worth is gonna be heavy but with some mechanical assistance it wouldn't be too bad to store 2-3 you could quickly swap to get going again.

Good. Those 'community' gardens are eyesores.

I bet most of the food wasn't actually eaten; it's there so they can feel better about themselves while they shop at Whole Foods or Choices.

[Gumby]

While I'm sad to hear that some stuff got wrecked, I'm glad CP stood their ground and moved in to reclaim their space. Otherwise it would be another classic case of "tenant more rights than landlord".

[murd0c]

Why are you sad about it? these people were fully warned and now they are crying because CP is doing what they warned them. It also pisses me off how Mayor Moonbeam sides with these people and thinks its wrong of CP... CP should now charge these people for clean up because it's on their fault that they live in million dollar houses with zero property... If they don't like it move out of the city with property big enough for a garden, I personally hope CP starts running trains at 3am every morning to really pisses off these useless whining twats...

[underscore]

CP even gave them an extra 2 weeks yet they still waited til the last minute to move stuff, if they were even half intelligent they would've started moving things back in May when they were told.

[inv4zn]

^agreed.

Among the many things I consider are ruining this beautiful city, the (unwarranted) sense of entitlement of many, along with those who whine for the sake of whining (they generally tend to be the same people, let's be honest), are high up on my list.

Good on CP.

I don't agree with driving in flip flops. Some people have trouble walking in them let alone being in control of a 4000lb vehicle. Maybe people haven't had any issues but for that one time bobby runs into the street proper footwear could make all the difference in a panic situation. I haven't needed my seatbelt for its intended use in 10 years but I still wear it.

[punkwax]

I drive in flip flops all the time during summer as well even though I know I shouldn't.. mainly because I can't wear shoes without socks. I'm just too damned lazy to even consider putting on/taking off socks and changing footwear to drive somewhere.

When I know I'm driving an hour or more, then I'll do it. But if its somewhat local, fuggedaboudit.

I'm just sad to see something that people cared for get trashed (for example, it pains me to throw away my kid's artwork, cuz he spent time on it, even if it looks like crap).

But like I said, their time was up, and I applaud CP for doing what they said they were going to do. The gardeners called CP's bluff, and they lost.

^ how though? Your feet should be ABOVE the pedals. Even if it gets stuck, pull your right foot up so you're at least off the throttle and brake with your left.

For the record I drive in flip flops a lot now because I HATE shoes, my feet overheat extremely easily and I find it very uncomfortable and distracting.

Driving in flip-flops pose an obvious and indisputable hazard over driving in shoes - you can't argue that they are alike.

Nowhere did anyone say or imply that driving in flipflops makes you an immense idiot - it's the consensus that for most people, it's not as comfortable and thereby not as safe. And it can result in things like driving into a pool, as showcased by the old guy.

You may be able to say that you're perfectly capable of compensating for the difference between shoes and flip-flops - and you may very well be.

I've nothing against you, but your latest posts show a trend of some terrible PMS. I used to think you were friendly.

PS. I caught the sarcasm, but really, nobody struggles with walking - unless they are physically disabled - in which case, yes, they should be in a wheelchair.

I have come to the understanding that the need to feel productive creates a false sense of control, kills focus, and overwhelms creativity.

It keeps you stuck in a one dimensional plane of understanding, knowledge, and insight.

You are not better off filling your day full of crap you don't need to do. Focus on the real shit you need to do. Don't focus on filling your day for the sake of filling it. If you find you have not enough things to fill your day with, you're on the right track.

I cannot believe it.......... a dream home I could and would have bought in a heartbeat went for a bargain price of $725, 000. My wife and I thought it would be easily over a million, so we didn't even bother. Damn, damn, damn it!!!!!!

Wake up to find out the process has destroyed your senses and you are now a vegetable. Cheating death - you'll pay for it in the end.

BBC News - Scott Rogers: US TV host and ex-Suffolk teacher shot dead (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-29000511)

Scott Rogers: US TV host and ex-Suffolk teacher shot dead A US television host and former Suffolk dance school teacher was shot dead by his son-in-law at his home in Louisiana, police have said. Scott Rogers, 52, a presenter for WAFB-TV, was found in Iberville, Baton Rouge on Wednesday, local police said. Sheriff Brett Stassi said it was thought Mr Rogers was shot by Mathew Hodgkinson, also his former lover, in a "murder and attempted suicide".

Mr Hodgkinson, 36, is in a coma in a US hospital, said Mr Stassi. 'Gun to his head' Mr Stassi, the sheriff of police in Iberville, told the BBC: "It looked like a murder and failed attempted suicide. Scott was shot in his bed, under the covers, tucked neatly in. "It looks like Mathew put the gun to his own head... he was seriously wounded but still alive. "He's still in a critical condition in an induced coma." Mr Stassi said his deputy found a note next to the bed. "We think Mathew wrote it and maybe even put it there after Scott was deceased," he said. 'Unhealthy atmosphere'

Mr Hodgkinson, who was married to Mr Rogers' daughter Kimmy, joined Mr Rogers in America to work as a producer on the Around Town Show aired by WAFB-TV. In 1994, BBC Look East reported that Suffolk County Council had "taken the unusual step" of issuing a warning to parents about a school for the performing arts in Bury St Edmunds. There were claims of an "unhealthy atmosphere" similar to "a religious or supposedly religious cult" at the school founded by Mr Rogers, the East Anglian Daily Times has reported. Mr Rogers was known as Richard Scott-Rogers in the UK. Mr Hodgkinson, a former pupil of the Academy of Dance and Performing Arts in Bury St Edmunds, was also known as Mathew Hodgkins. Mr Stassi said witness statements suggested Mr Hodgkinson was both Mr Rogers' son-in-law and former lover and lived at the Rogers property.

Pretty bad ass if you ask me

Do you guys consider it rude to speak in another language others don't understand? For example if you're around your friends/coworkers and you eliminate them out of the conversation. Why do people converse in a different language when someone who speaks English is present?

[melloman]

^^
-Because they're rude and don't care
-Because they don't want you to understand (usually if its quick sentence or 2)

I've done the latter, but I'm not going to have a full on conversation with someone when the other people don't understand.. unless I have to talk to older family who only understand the other language.

Might be old news to some but after watching the latest episode of Holmes on Homes, I noticed Damon wasn't on and just came to find that he left the show in December. Also, after reading a blog about it, found out that Craig Lowe died in a scuba diving accident last month.
