» Best ninja on bahamut?
Thread: Best ninja on bahamut?
Who would be the best ninja on bahamut?
i've heard of a couple like Albelt, Enitsu, Noris, Onimusha, Scunsion and Stoner. who is the best? >_>; maybe i missed the best?
Ninja - A member of a class of 14th-century Japanese mercenary agents who were trained in the martial arts and hired for covert operations such as assassination and sabotage.
Maybe its just me, but I don't think a well known ninja would be a very good ninja.
Enitsu actually does those things IRL.
This board really is turning into Allakazham.
seriously, who cares about who is the best ninja? why would u want to know? its an MMO ffs, its not something that can be rated really well..
The reason, is the ninja 'job' is one of the most skilfull jobs in the game, and i wanted to know who had that skill?
This forum is mainly for endgame content, drama, and complaining about how craptacular SE is about their updates. Please refrain from making trivial posts about who is better than who at what, where, and when.
/shrug Alla is so painful.
I think what you meant by "BEST NINJA" by naming those names.
is simply ninja with most expensive gear.
Seriously, though? Theburgernator and Zigma are tied there, with Ivvy a close second.
I liked tonyanjaii in exp but that doesn't tell me much about his hnm style, I guess.
Edit: Come on guys. I'm sure we can make this into a drama thread somehow. Oh I know!
Enitsu stole his ninja strats from SB. Discuss.
If he made the post on Alla the only people who would reply are people who aren't exactly sure what utsusemi does.
I like Enitsu becuase he's cute :3 Scun and Albelt are right up there, too.
Regardless of how you intended this topic to be, comparisons, especially in hnm situations are lame and should be punishable by ban and a lifetime membership to alla's bahamut forums!
Joking but please don't continue to pursue this question here.

We spoke with the artist — who was in Atlanta preparing to perform at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 30, 2018 — about his early start in music and the inspiration behind his new album.
I got started with my family. My parents were musicians. I’m from South Africa, and I’m one of 12 children. In our community, there were a lot of variety shows. I started singing in carnivals, clubs and Malay choirs, and family variety shows. I went on to audition and participate in plays touring throughout South Africa. By the time I was 12, I made my first record.
Tell me a little bit about becoming the first Black artist to be played on South African radio.
Experiencing apartheid and segregation was eye-opening. When I got discovered, I knew the harsh reality of what apartheid was. I was singing in these cities for White people. I was a Black artist with a No. 2 song on the pop charts. I didn’t know that socially speaking it would have a political impact on our nation. Everybody was proud of this Black kid who became so famous so young. Fame was one thing, but this kid still lived in a colored, Black community. Those were some of the things that were disheartening about my success.
Why is important for you to honor Burt Bacharach with your new album?
You know I wanted to make a songbook record for a long time. It was either gonna be Bill Withers or somebody else. It turned out to be Burt Bacharach because of an evening that I had at home playing the title track “Close to You.” I had my two daughters Randy and Jody and my now-fiancé Nadira Kimberly Strouts playing along on the violin. His songs are so powerful, very romantic and beautifully written. It was that Friday night that I realized I should just go for it. It’s been kinda nice to take a break from myself and my own writings.
Why does the song “What the World Needs Now is Love” resonate with you today?
If you listen to the entire record from a production standpoint, it’s very South African. It’s not like an American R&B approach. It has what we call a South African 6/8 beat. This is the song that people take a quiet moment when I’m singing it and people reflect. America is a really divisive place right now. I’ve never in my time heard a president create so much divisiveness. I come from a country where apartheid existed and where a president was in jail for 27 years for respecting the freedom of others more than himself. So this song then becomes the one song that it’s almost like a Jonathan Butler movement when I’m performing now.
Tell me about your current tour.
It is a Christmas tour, which will be 27 dates. I’ll be on the road until Dec. 23, 2018, and then when I get home for Christmas, we start rehearsing for the smooth jazz cruises.

Certainly its Midweek Madness as IPL is going crazy by having third double header on a week on this same week.
Game 1, CSK in the form of their life met KXIP in their den, Saha & Hussey pair started the innings from the place where they left, As both departed bit earlier today than expected and Dhoni went for a non existent second run to leave the crease very early. So it was another Super Kings day to step up the scoring shoes and it was none other than IPL top scorer Suresh Raina, who did in style with a Century the only record missing in his IPL career resume. Shacky start by KXIP losing David hussey bit quick didn’t help them either. But Shaun Marsh & David Miller struck a partnership between them and got the important runs at crucial junctures and kept the chase always on till the last 6 balls bowled, Dwayne Bravo just made the important difference between both sides by just bowling the last over for just 3 runs and picking 3 wickets. CSK continue to roar in their den.
Game 2, not much fancied one as of now, Pune hosting RCB, Yes, What you think is right, this is the team which Gayle torn into pieces and went on to make record books re written. RCB won the toss and went on to pile up the runs in gradual pace today because Gayle has to depart bit early. However it is, in the end its ABD who stole the show and game from Pune Warriors India, by picking 26 runs in the last over bowled by Dinda. PWI as always started of by losing wickets in regular intervals, but for one change Robin Uthappa played a matured and classy knock but it was a lone battle waged which was too much and in the end Pune fell short. Giving RCB the much needed first away for this season.
– 7 consecutive wins by CSK now equals the highest no. of consecutive wins recorded by RCB in IPL 2011.
– Shaun Marsh scored his 15th IPL Fifty, highest by any individual player for KXIP.
– Raina bowled his first over for this season and went for 19 runs.
– Now Mohit Sharma has taken 10 wickets in the powerplay over, highest by any team bowler.

– 75 runs scored by Uthappa is the highest for him in his IPL career.
– RCB has hit 484 sixes across all season which is second highest; list is topped by as expected CSK with 499 sixes.

– Pune Warriors now have lost 10 games out of 13 played in their home ground Pune.
– With the win by RCB batting first, as of today, 21 games are won batting first and 23 in chasing, and 2 ended up in a tie.
A Game of D’s, Dhoni Vs Dravid, Mass Vs Class… Always a treat to watch this combination for any cricket lover and definitely for me too…Dravid won the Toss and decided to Bat first, A simple one liner was the royals batting, Just Watson show all the way, Showed no mercy to any bowler ad he hardly worried about what length or line they bowled, Sheer display of Watto Powerhouse which allowed him to go past first century mark in this season of IPL. Binny and other Rajasthan players played around him to get to a score of 185 runs in 20 overs.
– Shane Watson scored the first century of this season of IPL; it is also the 25th century for IPL tournament in all seasons.
– Watson’s 101 runs over shined Shewag’s 95* for the highest score for this season.

The Americas (sometimes referred to as America) is the area including the two continents located between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, namely North America and South America. The term also usually includes the islands in and around the Caribbean Sea. The isthmus of Central America is usually considered geographically part of North America. The Americas are often also described collectively as the Western Hemisphere or the New World.
Most Spanish language references consider there to be no separation between North America and South America but only one continent America. However, many Spanish speakers consider America del norte and America del sur to be separate continents. The use of America to refer to the New World as a whole is also sometimes used in English, such as in the common phrase "Columbus discovered America".
People who live in the Americas are sometimes referred to as being American, although in the English-speaking world the word "American" is more commonly used to refer only to a citizen of the United States of America.
See naming of America for a discussion of how the Americas were named.

Am I exposing my Mac to security issues if I run Windows via Parallels?
What are the best anti-viruses that I can run on Parallel? Is there anything major that I should be aware of?
If you are concerned about security there are 2 things. firewalls and anti virus software. A nice free firewall tool for mac where you can make sure that all the ports are closed is called WaterRoof (http://www.hanynet.com/waterroof/). and a and stable anti virus software (actualy its a Internet Security suite) isavailable for free from Comodo (http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php).
If you have Parallels preferences set up to isolate the Windows VM from the OS X then this should not be an issue. However, the VM is still subject to viruses and should be set up with some sort of virus protection. ha14's link to the Parallels user guide will help you set it up using Kasperkey, but I believe any anti-virus software for Windows should do the trick.
Don't worry. Windows virus doesn't affect Mac.
Don't worry about it. Use Microsoft Security essentials on the windows image and you'll be fine. Even though windows users cringe when you say it, you really aren't going to get a virus on a mac, let alone coming through a windows virtual image.
You can have a mac antivirus setup.
It is unlikely that a virus or malware from Windows will infect your Mac as they are usually not that sophisticated to run on both platforms.
But of course they can "nest" themselves into any file on your Mac which the virtual machine has access to and then spread e.g. via an email attachment to other people.
You should at least install an anti-virus within the virtual machine or better, a Mac anti-virus software that also detects Windows malware.

I have a fussy, going-to-be-one-year old baby girl and I try hard to make her eat suji, paneer(Indian cheese), porridge etc but she is a stubborn child like her mom. Like an obedient child she always first takes the spoon filled with food in her mouth and a second later she spits it out. It’s irritating and sometimes when I think of cooking for her, I feel like not cooking at all as she is not going to eat anyway.
Fundooz flavoured yogurt contains Vitamin A, Iron, Zinc, Iodine and milk in it and costs INR 10 each. If you buy a pack of four then it costs only INR 25. Now I carry this when ever I am travelling with a fruit. Just mash it up in the yogurt and baby likes it . It comes in four flavours, “vanilla and strawberry” is one of them . I am a vanilla fan so got baby Anvika the same. I would have given you more details but unfortunately my helper threw away the outer covering. I checked it online and its not available in major stores which is sad. It will be such a boon for working women who want things to be delivered right at their door.
Anyways, Fundooz flavoured yogurt is definitely a product which I will recommend to moms whose infants do not like any fruits .You can give grated apple, banana, Sapodilla(chikku) etc to your baby. My baby doesn’t even like Litchi so I take out their seeds and cut into small pieces , mix it with the yogurt.
Nice! We get lot of varieties of flavored yogur here – so will keep this in mind. Btw, ANamika, when did you start giving your babe curd?
Oh I am soo happy that even Anvika loves fruit based yoghurt. My baby Anshika loves this , and I made sure that I gave it to her , during the peak summer period. She just loves it and keeps asking for more 🙂 , havent tried with cut fruits as she is fond of veggies and fruits , thank god ..but will definetely try ..
Anamika..what about preservatives in the product? Will they be safe for the baby?

The Call to Work works with advocates within a local church to identify, engage and equip a team of primarily non-staff leaders within the church to facilitate a transformative Course experience. Then, The Call to Work continues to walk alongside these leaders as they in turn identify, engage and equip additional spiritual growth leaders for their church.
The Leadership Team consists of the Champion(s), Directors(s), and any other Facilitators.
A church member who desires to bring The Call to Work to his or her church.
We seek to engage these high potential leaders by inviting them to lead their own groups through The Call to Work Course. We provide the training and materials to equip the leaders to facilitate a powerful Course experience. We also build in experiences and feedback loops to help the leaders get to know those they are leading, and to learn how to better foster spiritual growth. As leaders grow in their understanding of The Call to Work tools and principles, and as they better understand the specific needs of their local context, we encourage them to innovate and experiment with the specifics of the program, in order to cultivate an even more powerful experience for those they look to serve.
Throughout it all, each leader has a coach focused mainly on their own spiritual growth – such that each leader continues to be awake and leaning in to the work God is doing in them through The Call to Work.
“I have had such a great experience with The Call to Work and have seen such growth personally. Before TC2W I’d be frustrated with my interactions with people and try to “figure out” what was going on. Now that I’m aware of God’s Big Story, I think of that more often. Instead of becoming frustrated, I become curious, which in turn, softens my heart so that I can receive Gods will and intention for the relationship. I believe I’m less angry and more purposeful.

Emotions & Acting. A Character’s Emotions Aren’t Yours!
The Actor and The Emotion. Be truthful to the moment.
In Acting, emoting is channelling your personal emotions through the text and character.
The portal of truth for that human being you may be rehearsing or performing can be created by choices from your own body of experience, sure, however it isn’t you up there and at some stage the new responses you learn are the character’s and are not yours. A Character’s emotions can be pure when you are a conduit for the communication of the character’s truth.
Whatever response that may be, is accessed by being real, honest and ‘not telling a lie’ which was the best advice I ever received from a director Bill Bryden who in rehearsal came over and whispered in my ear – ‘Never – tell a lie – on stage” which in that moment was the inspiration I needed and a bit of careful guidance, no doubt.
As a therapist, I’ve been approached by an actor today for coaching and therapy, concerned that if they let go of their emotion about a traumatic memory that’s upsetting them, will it make them ‘numb’ as an actor and will they not be able to ‘use it’. The answer is – it will enhance you as an actor both as a functioning human being and clearing the way for the performing.
Clearing emotions from the past won’t make you a less effective actor. It clears the pane for the character’s emotions to shine though rather than being coloured by your own past events and perspectives.
I think a technique of NLP anchoring responses is often confused. There are ways that the brilliant actress and teacher, Uta Hagen, wrote about when developing the character. Uta once said “when I go to the theatre, if I can see the acting I already don’t like it”.
I’ve seen the channelling of emotion from drama school and suspect I have seen it in the west end when suddenly aware of an energy gear change and incongruence and being an actress by training, suspecting a lazy moment of bad acting in front of me or ‘pretend’ emotion which is frankly just as poor. We can do any emotion at any moment and create it within our bodies. That goes for everyone not just trained actors.
I’ve worked as an actress and now am a professional coach and therapist to many, including, actors, singers and performers. I’m aware about a general concern around emotion. In acting its used for effect to tell a story and affect the audience making them think about what they are witnessing. If you begin practising using bad past experiences to fuel emotions in the role it is both unhealthy and frankly, is poor technique. Your own past traumas are unresolved emotional issues ‘coded’ in a way that suspends a way of representing that past event to yourself. You may keep replaying the past memories and getting upset by them over and over until you learn enough to gain a new perspective and change the frequency/emotion of that particular memory. That’s a human experience. Thinking ‘I know what makes me sad’ and drudging it up, is, to me, not acting.
It’s collection of past trauma and digging it up ready for public airing.
Being In The Moment, a phrase actors are keen to surf during all performance. Time travelling backwards to a past event that was sad, made you angry or scared is not being in the Now. You are then no longer the character but you on stage or on set just being dressed as the character having a therapy moment ‘doing your emotive bit now’ rather than listening, truly listening and having your physiology respond…(and here is the caveat) having the physiology respond after instructing your subconscious mind that you are playing a role.
There are techniques I show actors on how to achieve this – or actors really do live through it ‘as though it is theirs’ that common phrase – ‘I turn into the character’ and ‘I become the role’ spring to mind. That ‘stuff’ of the character’s isn’t yours either! There are techniques I have developed that can begin this proccess for you to continue in rehearsal and dressing room space.
Be careful what you say to yourself you may believe it! You are bathed in neutrons eavesdropping on your thoughts – a beautiful way of explaining subconscious response by Deepak Chopra.
Actors may find it difficult to separate the two states, their own resting state and that of the character’s journey of emotion and processes, when doing a run. From experience I can recommend that it is healthier to learn how to use your mind in a way that creates instruction to your mind and body manager, the subconscious and that can go a long way to protect you. As a hypnotherapist I can help you discover how easy that is.
For the sake of example and to hold my hand up, I will admit, I did once use this poor technique myself as a back up reliance for a part. I thought that tapping into a well of unresolved emotions about an issue of my own seemed worthy. There was a particular scene where I was required to access a response on stage every night in a particular way. What happened was that I would get to that moment in the play then suddenly in a flash I would think of that past personal moment and ‘bam’ a well of emotion flared up and I could ‘use it‘. I almost am embarrassed to admit it even after amazing training with top acting teachers, this moment was seductive to me, that I could use that similarity with my own past to access that hotline to my own ‘stuff’! What also happened was that I ran out of that ‘once deep well’ of emotion part way through the run! Served me right. I had to work more effectively and use techniques that supported truth for that moment. Because in essence – using your own emotions on stage is not truthful – it’s indulgent! It used to certainly do the trick – but that’s all it was, a trick. I would never do that now, for a variety of reasons, truth, listening, being in the moment are important and least of which is my own mental health.
In the anniversary of Mental health Week in the UK, it brings to mind so many mental health issues in the acting community and having recent discussions with both actors and staff at a top drama school, I am not surprised at the rise in the problem. The consensus of opinion, whether accurate or not, is that somehow the training adds to the issue.
I want to look after the talent and our actors. Often described as ‘sensitive’ and ‘flakey’ do we expect our actors to be those things and if they aren’ flakey or sensitive emotionally in some way is it too their detriment?
There are some expectations for actors to be able to access their own stuff and somehow use it. I prefer to perceive it thus – access your own ability to be human! And use that!
In the industry that requires an absolute iron rod belief in themselves, their ability, to weather rejection and reframe disappointments as a learning experience and ‘bounce back’. They are expected to be highly receptive to suggestion, flexible to changes, be creative and to also ultimately be their own boss and know how to market themselves. Working actors are a marvel. They are strong, flexible and creative – more so they are willing to fail in order to succeed which is the process of the rehearsal to eliminate options and practice possibilities making the odds on having a less than marvellous moment in front of their peers, an inevitability. That takes a lot of character strength.
The actors I know that work in the industry consistently that seem to weather the storm of the emotional rollercoaster are often those who dissociate their own emotions about the business and treat it as a business! They have a business attitude to their craft and they work at it. They also cultivate a level of humour about themselves and the business, whilst knowing when to commit to an emotion on the job when required.
So do your health a favour, get therapy, clear ‘your stuff’ and respond truthfully in the moment as the character!

Flu season is on its way. If your kids are in school, you'll want to keep them healthy. You'll also to prevent them from spreading flu germs. If they've received their flu shots, they're well on their way to being protected against sickness. Unfortunately, flu shots don't protect against all the flu strains that are active each year. They only protect against the strains that are expected to be the most active. To add an additional layer of protection for your kids, here are four simple steps you can take.
Kids love to gather in packs, even in the classroom. Unfortunately, that pack mentality can lead to a lot of shared germs. One cough or sneeze can spread flu germs throughout the room. Saliva from a cough can travel at about 50 mph.
While you can't expect your kids to stay away from their friends, you can teach your child the proper way to sneeze and cough – which is to lift their arm to their face and aim their mouth directly into their arm. The more your kids practice safe coughs and sneezes, the more their friends will pick up on the same safe habits. It's also a good idea to ask your kids teachers to keep the desks farther apart during cold and flu season.
Kids come in contact with a lot of germs during the school day. Whether it's in the classroom, the playground or the bathroom, they're touching germs that could make them sick.
Keep your child supplied with hand sanitizer and teach them how to use it properly. For instance, remind them to sanitize their hands before they eat their food. They should also sanitize their hands after touching water fountains or door handles.
Proper nutrition is essential during flu season. Be sure your child eats balanced meals throughout the day. This includes increasing the amount of colors your child eats each day. Add a variety of fruits and vegetables to your child's diet including carrots, tomatoes and apples. Try to provide several colorful fruits and vegetables at least twice a day.
Water is essential to good health. Provide a water bottle for your child that they can refill throughout the day. Water boosts your immunity and flushes out the toxins that could be making you sick.
Kids need to be in school. Unfortunately, flu season can create the need for sick days, which means your child will need to miss out on school for a few days. Help keep your elementary school kids healthy by implementing the tips provided above.

Eddie has been wonderful. We are waiting on our final product but the wedding day videoing was wonderful. We barely noticed he was there but are expecting wonderful results from the shots we're sure he got during the wedding. Couldn't ask for a more professional videographer.
I highly, highly recommend Eddie Spaghetti. I am completely in love with my wedding video and feel like I am reliving the day every time I watch it. He even went out of his way to show up early on my wedding day to capture some intimate moments before the ceremony. I was so blown away. The way he captured the day and edited everything together is exactly how I envisioned. Don't pass up on Eddie Spaghetti. Phenomenal work.
Eddie is a rockstar! He met my wife and I at Starbucks to discuss the plan for the wedding and from the beginning, was very easy going and professional. Other than pinning my microphone on before the ceremony, I don't remember seeing Eddie at all during the wedding. His ability to capture the emotions and special moments of the wedding while remaining virtually out of sight is an art. We got the trailer within 3 weeks and the dvd's the following week. We are truly in awe of work Eddie did on the video. Being able to relive our special day has been a huge blessing. If you are in the market for a videographer, Eddie's your guy!!!
Wow! Very impressed with this companies professionalism and to top that, their skill. They were fantastic the day of our wedding and throughout the whole process! We absolutely love our highlight and our wedding film and I could not imagine using any other company because our video turned out so amazing! I would definitely recommend them for your videography needs! Thank you so much Eddie!
Just for those who are looking to book Eddie in the future, he takes time to get to know what you want and he bends over backward to make sure he gives you the best possible video! I am so happy we chose him to film our wedding day!
Eddie was awesome to work with at my wedding! They showed up on time and caught everything on video! It seemed as if was not there when he was shooting. When I watched the video I was stunned at all the footage that I had simply forgotten he was there. I thought that was amazing, he treated the day as special as it was and caught all the priceless parts to my day! I could not have imagined a better videographer and I am so glad that we decided to hire him! He is a class act and knows what he is doing! I'd highly suggest Eddie Spaghetti, he blew me away!
Eddie and his team did an AMAZING job for me! They got the most amazing footage and they were never in the way or even really noticeable (in a good way). I have been to some weddings where the videographers would like push people out of the way on the dance floor, super awkward. Not Eddie. They were like ninjas! I was hesitant to add a videographer bc we had a tight budget (as do most brides) but it was the BEST thing i could have ever done. The night FLIES by and as the bride and groom you can't be every where at once. When i watched my videos, i cried, i laughed, i was sooo happy to have another opportunity to relive the night! I was the Billboard Bride for the Bridal Extravaganza so i had LOTS of videographers contact me to shoot my wedding. After watching a few videos I thought "ehhh maybe ill just skip the whole video thing and save money" but as soon as i found Eddie and saw his work i was like YESSSSS I must do this! He's so easy to work with, young, talented and ON IT. My wedding ran 40 mins late because of this charter bus that was late. His whole team stayed late to help finished capturing everything. That meant so much to me. My video is Channing and Brian on his website if you want to check it out :) He nailed it! Even the song he picked was just so US! LOVE THIS GUY!!!
Eddie did an amazing job! The video is great quality and we will watch it for years to come!
Eddie did the videography for my daughters wedding. He did an amazing job. The vimeo was just perfect. The video and the music selection was reflective of my daughter and son-in-law's personalities. He captured the day in the most perfect way. I would highly recommend Eddie for your wedding video needs. Very pleased with the quality product that he produced and he was very easy to work with.
I got married 6-20-15 at The Carriage House. The video Eddie made was PERFECT! All my family and friends loved it as well. Eddie was easy to work with, made everyone feel comfortable on the day of and got our video to us in a timely manner.
The Videographer Eddie was very courteous to me and my family from the first time we contacted him thru my Wedding Day thru when our videos were delivered. He and his assistants were a pleasure to work with!
Awesome work quality, and ethics. I was so impressed with the highlight film, I have played it over and over for my friends. Even my hubby who was not on board in the beginning admitted that it was a great quality, and one of his favorite way's to remember the wedding.
Eddie was fantastic!! 5 out of 5 stars easy! Eddie was professional, friendly, easy to work with and receptive to all of our requests and even went above and beyond our wishes! It’s amazing that he was able to get all of those perfect shots because he was practically invisible the entire night! He works very stealth like and does not interfere with the guests’ view. (I have been to a few weddings where the videographer was right in the middle of the moment and as a guest all I could see was the back of their head which was very distracting.) Eddie is very talented and has an eye for getting those special moments that I now get to re-watch and relive the joys of. If you are looking for not only quality work, but also a wonderful, stress free experience on the best day of your life, then go with Eddie Spaghetti!
Eddie and his team went above and beyond what we expected in taking video of our wedding day. They showed up earlier than expected and stayed up until the very end of the night which was much later than they had agreed to!! He and his team were there for us the whole day. Eddie not only captured all the special moments of our day but also highlighted the little details that make weddings so fun. He also surprised us in how quickly he sent us a highlight video; we got it during our honeymoon and were just elated to see such beautiful footage of our wedding. We have watched that short video over and over many times!!! Eddie is very creative and talented and I would recommend him to any Bride and Groom! He is helpful, responsible, timely, professional and extremely good at what he does. Eddie Spaghetti was one of the best vendor choices we made for our wedding day. No regrets, just love!
Eddie was very flexible to the needs of our wedding and definitely made it clear that his focus was making our video the way that we wanted them to look and feel. He was very easy to work with before and after the wedding (always responded to phone calls and emails quickly) and I really didn't notice him or his second camera operator throughout the wedding itself. The videos came out very well and I am very happy with how everything worked out.
I loved the price and how quickly we got our videos. The only "issue" I had was that I didn't get any video of the girls or the boys getting ready that morning so they were no cute shots of us before hand or of the dress and accessories that add nice details to the highlight video. They did a quick shot of me "pretending" to get ready in the church, but the lighting is awful there so it doesn't look as great as the other wonderful shots in the highlight video. We didn't do a first look, throw the bouquet, or do a grand entrance with the bridal party so we didn't have these little shots to add to our video so it would have been nice to have the "getting ready".

Brisbane Powerhouse, the city’s thriving centre for living arts, and Brisbane City Council have announced The Bridge, a $300k four-year program that will provide local performers and producers with targeted project support in order to grow the presenting capacity of Brisbane’s performing arts sector.
Created in response to the Brisbane City Council’s recent Creative Sector Survey, The Bridge will give Brisbane creatives the necessary time and support to present shows of a professional standard.
Brisbane Powerhouse Artistic Director Kris Stewart said that “empowering local artists to create works of significance is central to everything we do at Brisbane Powerhouse”.
Mr Stewart said there must be greater efforts to invest in the creative community of Queensland.
“We just feel this is one small part, and we look forward to seeing the great results investments such as this and others will bring in the future,” said Mr Stewart.
Brisbane City Council Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said the new program was an exciting opportunity for Brisbane-based creatives.
“Brisbane is a vibrant, cultural city and Council offers a wide range of programs and initiatives to support locals looking to make their mark in the creative sector,” Cr Quirk said.
“This new initiative will provide opportunities for artists to continue their practice and development as creatives in Brisbane rather than relocating interstate or abroad.
From January 2018, producers can approach Brisbane Powerhouse with expressions of interest, with a rolling acceptance of possible projects and no formal deadline. A total of $300,000 will be granted across four years, with up to $50,000 of cash support and $25,000 of in-kind support (through discounts and waived charges) provided across a single calendar year.
Each year will focus on an art form aligned to the Brisbane Powerhouse programming vision of being the home for living arts, ideas and experience.
All submissions must have performance outcomes at Brisbane Powerhouse. For more information, visit brisbanepowerhouse.org.

California requires all vehicles to undergo a smog inspection every other year, EXCEPT cars and trucks older than 1975.
When a vehicle is brought in to be smogged, it may be a quick and simple process, or, based on the results, it may turn out that there are repairs which must be performed to keep the smog equipment in proper operating condition. In the State of California there is no limit on these costs, although California has a program called a “Repair Cost Waiver” to help pay for major repairs in the interest of keeping the air quality standards as high as possible.
There are 4700 locations in california which perform smog inspections, however many of these locations are what’s called “test only”. That means that if your vehicle does not pass the inspection, you must take it somewhere else to get the vehicle into condition so you can renew the registration.
If your vehicle fails to pass the smog inspection, and needs repairs, be sure to KEEP THE RESULTS report which indicates the readings and why it failed the test.
If you go to a “test and repair” smog station and spend a minimum of $650 on emissions-related repair costs at a licensed smog repair station (you do not have to repair your vehicle at the same station it was originally tested) that will raise situation to the level where the government subsidies kick in. The $650 can be a combination of repairs and diagnostics, but regular smog tests do not count towards the amount required. Note: CAP repairs and diagnostics qualify towards the $650.00. Sometimes repairs may be realtively cheap, so the Repair Cost Waiver program won’t be used.
Have your vehicle re-tested and, if it still fails the test, you may be eligible for the Repair Cost Waiver.
Make an appointment at a Referee station and bring documentation of two failed smog tests and receipts for money spent on repairs and diagnostics. If you meet the qualifications, you will be granted a waiver that allows you to pass the test without the repairs. Your vehicle must be able to pass smog when your next smog check is due.
If your vehicle is coming due for its bi-annual smog inspection, take it to Escondido Auto Tech. The guys at EAT are Star Certified and EAT is a Test and Repair station, so if there are problems found, they can be dealt with right on the spot. Schedule a thorough car inspection at Escondido Auto Tech by calling us at (760)745-4454. Our experienced technicians will make sure your vehicle passes its smog inspection.

Marubeni-Komatsu raise money for Wear it Pink!
One Friday in October saw millions of people across the UK wear an item of pink clothing in support of Breast Cancer Now’s Wear it Pink day. Marubeni-Komatsu’s pyjama twist certainly caught the eye and even the official Wear it Pink Facebook account gave us some recognition!
This year, we raised a huge £1146.81 for Breast Cancer Now, a fantastic achievement. Not only that, but the business has also agreed to match the money raised as per MKL’s charitable sponsorship policy, taking the grand total to a monumental £2293.62!
Thanks to all those who took part in the raffling, cake-eating & sweepstake-ing – not forgetting a huge thank you to Dave’s legs (images below)!
Special thanks to Julie, Sam and Hannah from our Accounts department for organising too. Same time next year?!

Home > Why did Britain go to war?
The Great War lasted from 1914-18. It was the most destructive war that had ever been fought. Ever since 1914, politicians and historians have been arguing about why the war started.
There is another important question about the start of the war. When war broke out in August 1914, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and France were all bound by their commitments to their allies. They had to go to war. Britain was not in that position. Despite this, Britain decided to join in the war on the side of Russia and France.
The key question in this gallery is: Why did Britain go to war in 1914?

After a long time alone in the territories of the saltwater crocodile: What is the conclusion of such an experience?
Having lived face to face with the saltwater crocodile in its natural habitat and having been able to view it in so many different situations of its everyday life, only one conclusion is possible: Despite the very powerful appearance, this is definitely no monster.
Actually, there isn’t even a greedy predator continuously on the search for prey. What is to be found, is an understandable creature that sometimes seems to enjoy itself by playing in the waves when the water is warm, and that without any doubt, spends much of its time curiously watching what is happening in its surroundings without the intention to hunt or express aggression. Very likely much of what would be felt as threat to humans is caused by the crocodile’s curiosity.
Watching saltwater crocodiles in the free nature and being confronted with them one to one is connected with a very deep fascination, and once the fear has calmed due to finally understanding the animals rules, this captivation can reach degrees which are hard to describe with words.
Certainly this mighty predator can create a danger for us individually when living in or visiting its natural habitat and any accident that has left somebody badly injured or killed is a real tragedy.
But without any doubt those rules - which abiding by will allow us to stay save in the territory of the crocodile - do exist and it is the neglect of these principles that can lead to fatal consequences. This could be compared to our road rules for traffic in the cities.
restrain, that most other animals don’t even take notice what has just passed by. It is not chasing after anything, does not know any kind of torture, and does not even need to hunt all the time due to its efficiency.
Finally, when it kills, there is always a clear reason and for any prey, the end would come almost fast as a flash. So, in the very end of the trip in the world of the big crocodile, after arriving back into mankind’s modern civilisation, things are sticking out: It’s humans who are causing cruelties that are absolutely unprecedented in the history of life on this planet.
If there are any monsters on earth, then they can only be we humans ourselves. Keeping the planets other life forms in narrow cages for their entire life to get cheap meat or eggs, carelessly destroying the habitats of other living creatures, is our behaviour alone.
Maybe we should accept the strongest predator as a teacher, who can make us understand many important things. For example, that disturbing other life forms as little as possible is a precondition for a durable existence at the top of the food chain.
Or that there are hidden rules in nature, connected with limitations, and that not being willing to find and accept them is bonded with high danger of disappearing from this planet very fast and suddenly.

Newark, New Jersey: A rain garden is in the process of being installed at a local Essex County park.
West Side Park's rain garden will "engage the community and local government on the benefits of green infrastructure", according to a Rutgers spokesperson. Rain gardens, which look like regular gardens, help manage stormwater runoff.
The Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, Newark Doing Infrastructure Green (DIG), the Essex County Parks System, the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, and the New Jersey Tree Foundation are all part of this project, which is being funded by a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
The New Jersey Tree Foundation will be installing 20 trees and rain garden plants on Tuesday, October 13th from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Volunteers are needed to help with the installation. Tools, gloves, and instructions will be provided.
The park, one of the oldest county parks in the state, is located in the Central Ward near the corner of South 13th Street and 18th Avenue.
This effort is one of several recent improvements at the park. The West Side Park Community Center reopened in July after undergoing renovations.

One of my pet projects in Debian is the Debian Maintainer Dashboard. Built on top of UDD, DMD provides a maintainer-centric view to answer the “I have a few hours for Debian, what should I do now?” question (see example).
Christophe Siraut did a lot of great work recently on DMD, rewriting much of the internals. As a result, he also added a RSS feed feature: you can now get notified of new TODO list items by subscribing to that feed.
If you have suggestions or comments, please use the debian-qa@ list (see this thread).

What do you do when subscribers become disengaged? Do you drop them off your list? Or do you attempt to revive their engagement with your emails?
Firstly, you need to decide what constitutes an inactive subscriber. It varies from business to business and depends on the frequency of your email activity. For retailers who send a lot of emails, 3 months of inactivity would probably be a suitable threshold to trigger reengagement campaigns. Whereas, brands sending not much more than monthly newsletters or seasonal campaigns, then you're looking at more like 6 months.
What's important is that you define what constitutes an inactive or "lapsed" subscriber for your business and set up automated triggers to assign to dedicated reengagement campaigns.
Not all inactive subscribers are the same. Each one has a unique history and different reasons for interacting with your brand. For instance, you may have some subscribers who like to consume your content but don't make purchases. Maybe they're waiting for a big offer or sales period.
Other subscribers may have made a purchase but never subsequently browsed your site. Perhaps they signed up to take advantage of a discount and hit the road with it.
You can segment your subscriber list according to different behaviours or you could stagger reengagement thresholds and simply segment according to last email open or last click through, etc.
Once you've completed your list segmentation, it's time to create a reactivation strategy and plan different reengagement campaigns for each segment.
You'll need a series of emails for your reengagement campaigns, as your lapsed subscribers are already inactive and there's a good chance you'll need several cracks at reactivating them.
Try to determine what's holding back your least active subscribers from engaging and converting. Maybe they need more education about your products? Maybe price is a barrier? Or it could be down to the content not being relevant enough to their needs.
Delve into your data and try and find patterns from your subscriber behaviours. Use insights, intuition and key persuasion tactics to attempt to win them back. This could range from incentives (free shipping or product discounts), reaching out to subscribers to tailor their email preferences or even reminders of the benefits your brand offers.
Create a reengagement email series, testing different persuasion tactics, before leading to an ultimatum-style final reactivation attempt.
Not everyone who signs up for subscriber lists spend a lot of time reading and engaging with brand emails. They may just prefer to engage with retail brands via social media or other channels. So rather than writing them off, why not give them a different option?
For instance, you can invite them to follow on your other channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or even to get SMS news and offers. Use reengagement emails to invite subscribers to interact with your brand in a different way.
The campaign uses emotive copywriting, a site-wide discount code and an invitation to join Missguided's different social channels, for customers who prefer to engage with the brand outside of the inbox.
You've tried to reengage your subscribers with personalised offers and other persuasion tactics, but many aren't taking the bait. There's still hope. One option is to focus on the value your brand emails and products, which they're missing out on.
After displaying the brand's benefits, they offer inactive subscribers a discount. So after you entice your readers, give them a reason to act straightaway with an offer.
You win some, you lose some. The key is in how you handle the situation. And when it comes to your inactive subscribers, you can give them advance notice you're about to cut ties with them and remove them from your subscriber list...unless they want to stay after all!
In some cases, this will help kindle their interest in your brand and products. And for others, they'll simply ignore the warning. But don't worry – the idea is to keep the ones that are more likely to become active customers again. You should be used to seeing (or even sending) these type of ultimatum emails during the GDPR repermissioning period, earlier in 2018.
We put together a Guide to Repermissioning, which includes 50 great brand examples. Use this free guide to inspire your reengagement campaigns.
Here's another option you can give your subscribers – a choice between different products. It's an excellent way to engage them and get subscribers to convert at the same time.
Playing on the desires of your prospects is no new tactic. We all know how much consumers love freebies, so it's a good way of offering value and reconnecting with them.
Don't underestimate the importance of reengaging inactive subscribers. Allowing them to bloat your email database will only negatively impact your numbers and it'll trash your deliverability too. It's essential to either remove them or reengage them.

June has been an interesting month for the Civil Construction industry with major projects now awarded in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in the past 8 weeks. These projects are going to be major sources of work for many companies including subcontractors and suppliers. Companies are now mobilising delivery teams, so the employment marketplace is becoming more fluid.
Talent Associates is witnessing a major upswing in activity in hiring intentions amongst employers, with companies now willing to engage staff quicker then has been for the last 2 years and we have also experienced a large increase in people looking for alternative roles. This increase in active/passive candidates in the marketplace has been across most skill levels, with many looking to return to their states of upbringing or former residence.
We are witnessing a project transition in the national Civil Construction industry, as most states now have major projects under way or close to commencing. Talent has been readily available over the last few years but we are witnessing an industry shift to scarcity, particularly with companies continuing to beef up their management roles (PM and above).
Project Managers seem to be the hot commodity in the marketplace at the moment. Not those people who have done a bit here and there but those proven performers who can hit the ground running, have managed self-performed works and have a proven track record of project profitability.
Salaries have maintained their positions but as more and more projects start to be awarded/come out of the ground, then we envisage that there will be significant increases across the industry.
Talent Associates remain committed to working with the Australian Civil Construction industry in partnership to deliver high value recruitment and HR Services.
The 50 Most Common Interview Questions.
Interviews can be stressful; but just like any test or evaluation, you can prepare yourself for success or fly by the seat of your pants. The employment marketplace is very tight in Australia at the moment, so Talent Associates suggest that you make every effort to fully prepare for an interview by thoroughly researching the business, and interviewers and what questions they might ask you at an interview.
When it comes to the interview process, research and preparation for the interview determines your chances of making it to the next step. One of the best ways to get ready for a job interview is to practice your responses to potential interview questions so you can adequately plan your responses. Remember you only get one chance to make a first impression!

Our last entry in Thanksgiving Leftovers Week is a quick, useful, little recipe which creates an interesting condiment that’s surprisingly good. If you’ve gone through the trouble of roasting your own pumpkins or just used canned puree, and have some leftover, your first reaction is to panic and OH GOD WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS SMALL AMOUNT OF PUMPKIN?! Pumpkin puree is an interesting ingredient in that while it’s yummy and tastes great in pumpkin pies, most people don’t know what the hell to do with it outside of that. That’s where this recipe comes in handy. Similar to guacamole, this savory pumpkin spread is great for dipping or as a sauce on and in other dishes. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. That’s all there is to it.
As mentioned, this will produce a type of spread that’s similar to guacamole in that it’s not meaty, but still savory. The cinnamon pairs well with the pumpkin’s natural flavor, without becoming too much like pumpkin pie filling. You can omit the sugar if you’d like, as doing so will produce a slightly saltier pumpkin spread, but that’s entirely up to your own taste. What do you use it on? Well I’m glad you, or at least I assume, you asked. If you didn’t, well then listen anyway, it’ll be useful.
Casseroles or macaroni and cheese need something else, like some kinda Autumnal flare? Bam. Savory pumpkin spread. Mac n cheese. Fall-style.

Last week I had surgery for a total hip replacement. That has been a long time coming and I can now tell I have parts that move the way they are supposed to. It’s fantastic.
In these past few days I have been absolutely overwhelmed by kindness and care from so many. At the top of that list are my husband, my child, and my friend Alison, who flew across the country to take care of all of us. And then there is the congregation, and my family, and the school moms, and pastors I’ve never met who’ve held me in their prayers, and old friends around the country who have emailed and texted and messaged, who have baked muffins and sent cards and flowers and chocolate, because they know me well.
I am grateful, too, to the hospital staff. There they were, taking my vitals, checking in on me, telling me it would be okay when my blood pressure plummeted, putting on the helpful/unsexy white support knee socks, encouraging me through all that initial discomfort and pain, waking me up through the night as they did their job.
You could say that all those hospital people get paid to be kind and caring. That’s true. As a pastor I know that because, in a sense, we get paid to be kind. It’s a big part of our job.
But what if it were everyone’s job to be kind? What if kindness were the true measure of our worth, and not our social status or our bank account? Wouldn’t that be something?
Kindness is there but it’s usually so small that it gets overshadowed by all that’s loud and angry and grumpy. I’m not sure kindness really works on the grand scale but I know it does on the small scale: helping someone get dressed or making a cup of tea. Bringing a magazine with Benedict Cumberbatch on the cover, and another with the newest, best restaurants. Staying away can be kind; so can stopping by.
Once I’m up and around I’m going to spend more time on the small kindnesses. I can’t fix the world. Hell, I can’t walk without a walker and good meds at this point. But I can be kind, and I will.
My friend told me a lovely story today. Over the weekend she received a letter from a stranger, and the opening line read, “I hope this is not intrusive.” The letter was from a person working with the state hospital; the hospital has hundreds of containers of people’s cremated remains, and they are attempting to return them to the family of the deceased.
My friend learned that the hospital had her great-grandmother’s remains; would she like them? She said yes, and plans to take them to the cemetery where her mother and grandmother are buried. She will go with her daughter and granddaughter to the graveside, and there will gather six generations of strong, beautiful women.
Now I don’t believe that those cremated remains or any decaying body of flesh and bone have any power in them. There is no life there; they are going back to the dust from whence they came. The souls that inhabited those bodies have gone on, I believe, and while the soul makes its home in skin and sinew, it is not confined there. The souls of my friend’s mother and grandmother and great-grandmother have gone on.
And yet. And yet there is a poignancy to reuniting these ashes with those of a daughter and granddaughter. I have no idea what happens when we die. Maybe this faith thing has been one big crap shoot and when it’s over, it’s over. Or maybe we fall asleep for a while, and wake up when Gabriel blows that horn. Or maybe we die and boom we go to heaven and the reunion is instantaneous.
If we die and sleep for an eon, imagine the waking up. Imagine my friend’s great-grandmother waking up, and those ashes and pulverized bones coming together again, kneaded back into vibrant form; imagine her waking up and seeing her daughter and granddaughter with her.
So I’m at Target, because it’s my day off and one pair of jeans evidently isn’t sufficient for our second grader. Because I have been very, very good at Target, and bought only two pairs of size 6 pants and one package of trouser socks (as opposed to $150 worth of stuff I don’t need) I treat myself to Starbucks which, quite conveniently, is right there in the Target.
The woman ahead of me in line is chatting up quite a storm and I keep telling myself “this extra minute she’s taking will not throw off your entire day’s schedule.” I breathe in through my nose and breathe out through my mouth. I imagine I am one with the universe, but I know this is a lie, because really, all I want is my skinny latte, thank you very much. There’s only one thing standing between me and my latte, and that is this chatty woman.
She finishes her order, then turns to me and says, “Would you mind signing a birthday card for a complete stranger? My best friend is stuck in a hotel room all by herself on her birthday and she’s going through a nasty divorce and I thought this card signed by random people would cheer her up.” I say yes, and get my comeuppance for my impatience. The Universe is right more often than I am. We meet at the pick-up counter, and I have plenty of time to sign the card, because her mocha latte with four pumps of peppermint is taking a long time. While we wait, she asks another few folks to sign the card, and then leaves.
I’m still waiting for my drink, but I notice she is on her way out the door without her Minty Minty Special, so I go after her and ask if maybe she would like her drink. She smiles, and makes that face I make at least three times a day – I believe we call that “chagrin” – and I get my latte and go on my merry way.
That was a kind thing for her to do – to picture her friend ordering room service in her jammies, all alone on her birthday in some generic hotel room and to want her not to feel sad. She put herself out there, a little bit, risked some foolishness so she might cheer up her friend. I’ve always appreciated the kindness of strangers; I haven’t depended on it, but I do appreciate it.
So I’ve been wondering how I can be kind to our congressmen and women right now. Really, they are strangers to me. Our congressman attends our Christmas Eve service, but other than a handshake, I don’t know him. I don’t know any of these people duking it out at the capitol. I know what I think of them, especially those on the other side of the aisle than mine. But this little voice – maybe it’s Jesus – keeps tickling my brains saying, “You have to be kind to strangers. And you have to love your enemies.” Sigh. Why does Jesus have to make everything so hard?
So I guess I have to pray for all those people, the red state people and the blue state people. (Honestly, I can never remember which is which.) I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to pray for God to change them, but I think I’m on the right track by asking God to help them. I’ll pray for Pam, alone in a strange city in a Hyatt on her birthday. I’ll pray for her friend, too, because she pretty much made my day.
Here’s to some kindness all around.

Dan Chappell, describes the Rugby Academy's first match of the season.
In the changing room before the game the atmosphere was incredible, it was electrifying. The Richmond lads had not played together before so this was their first chance to prove themselves to me and the rest of the team! The match kicked off with a bang and the build up in the changing rooms clearly had a positive effect.
The Richmond boys were steaming through tackles and making some massive hits in defence, keeping the Isleworth and Syon side far away from our try line.
About 20 minutes into the game Maluk (13) went over the opposition whitewash after some dazzling footwork through the I&S defence (kick converted by Freddy Foot). There was a very high work rate throughout the rest of the half, neither side taking a step back. Just before the whistle blew for the half, Richmond gave away a penalty, which I&S kicked over to leave the score at 7-3 in the first half.
At half-time the Richmond boys came together and refocused on their defensive structure. We are and will be a team known for our ferocious defence. That clearly stuck in the boys minds and we did not concede any more points for the rest of the game. In the final 10 minutes the workhorse Freddy Foot (8) broke though a bunch of defenders to score our second try after a great line break by the Richmond 13 Ayomi.
Freddy converted his own try and Richmond won the match 14-3 with a great start to a promising season!

Once you have a very hard time to find his real game in the first part of the season, Napoli has greatly improved his form after the winter break and now Azzurri played with great confidence.
Six games in which they recorded good results vro or where they recorded all the victories was broken in the second leg Champions League match against Chelsea team at Stamford Bridge but their positive effect on the Friuli stadium after trailing two goals largely displayed in any form is a team coach Walter Mazzarri.
Napoli has provided its final appearance after Siena managed to overcome a 2-0 score, so now is the right moment to turn to the league meetings in order to provide the best possible placement for now because they have a solid position to which four took a total of 47 points played in the past 28 meetings.
The match in the Cup was a great opportunity to rest some players so we should expect the very fresh gaming staff in this match.
Catania was the constant improvement after gaining promotion to Serie A competition, but their fans have expressed their doubts about the new coach Vincenzo Montello, after he arrived as a replacement for Diego Simeone, who led the team to 13th place before he left club.
AS Roma former striker will surely make a respectable team for this competition but the truth is it will take some time to get this team achieve its plans and that they started playing football at a higher level features.
Winning by a score of 4-0 over Genoa after the winter break the team Catania helped to set up their better performance in the Serie A competition, regardless of what they have experienced in the next round defeat to Juventus.
Vincenzo Montella’s team after the meeting she enrolled in the six games they have not experienced the defeat of Catania, where the players won the four games of which are home victory over Fiorentina and Lazio allowing them to be on the order of 8 ukzupnog place.
Once you have managed to achieve in several meetings at least one goal is to expect that their offense will continue to work in that style of play and is sure to make it make some problems defending team Napoli.
Napoli is a team scoring goals with ease and sometimes has the feeling that they do it purely for fun and I believe that now I can easily reach a few goals.

Hours after Vancouver’s mayor slammed the owners of a “disgusting” Downtown Eastside hotel and threatened legal action, its tenants stormed city hall and staged a sit-in outside council chambers.
In recent years, the Balmoral Hotel at 159 East Hastings has been the subject of complaints about the building’s condition lodged by tenants and housing advocates, including legal battles against its owners, the Sahota family.
The Sahotas also own the nearby Regent, Astoria and Cobalt single-room occupancy hotels. Their real estate holding company, Triville Enterprises, is worth more than $130 million, according to B.C. Assessment.
In a statement Thursday, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson criticized the Sahotas for letting the Balmoral fall into squalor and disrepair.
“The living conditions in the Balmoral Hotel are disgusting. No resident of Vancouver should have to live in housing like that,” Robertson said.
Three hours later, about a dozen Balmoral tenants and housing advocates sat on the floor outside council chambers where they read a list of demands and gave impassioned speeches describing the wretched conditions in which they lived.
The protesters asked the city to provide copies of all Balmoral engineering reports and promise to pay for emergency repairs while not displacing tenants during any renovations.
The mayor was not made available to them and they left around 5 p.m.
Jay Slaunwhite, a Balmoral tenant for three years, said he doesn’t believe there is imminent danger at the building that would lead to displacement. He believes the city can do repairs in phases.
But he’s concerned the city hasn’t adequately communicated with tenants, who have spread rumours that community centres are preparing to lay down mats for them if they are booted during repairs.
Nicole Kroeker, a Balmoral tenant for just over a year, said she came to city hall to stand up for her neighbours and any future occupants of the hotel.
Last year, housing activist Wendy Pedersen connected tenants with a lawyer who filed a class-action lawsuit in the name of a Regent Hotel tenant against the Sahotas, as well as a civil claim against the city seeking compensation and enforcement of repair orders.
The city has demanded the Sahotas make more than $1 million in structural repairs to the building’s ground-level bar and envelope, and hire professional engineers to conduct a full assessment of the Balmoral, Robertson said.
City spokeswoman Sara Couper said staff would provide an update on the Balmoral sometime Thursday morning.
In response to Robertson’s statement, Non-Partisan Association councillor George Affleck said the “only thing disgusting” about the situation is the mayor and Vision Vancouver’s failure to address problems at Downtown Eastside hotels over the past decade.
“For him to just realize this just now is shocking, to be honest,” he said.
The Sahotas did not reply to a request for comment before deadline.
