The regulatory and contractual limbo in which (Windstream) found itself in the years following the imposition of the moratorium was a result of acts and omissions of the Government of Ontario,” the tribunal found. ??That’s why we’re on the hook for $28 million and counting. And the dream of making Ontario a green-energy powerhouse is in tatters.

SO THERE I'M GLAD THIS CLEARS IT ALL UP???

What Is a Computer Virus? A computer virus attaches itself to a program or file enabling it to spread from one computer to another, leaving infections as it travels. Like a human virus, a computer virus can range in severity: some may cause only mildly annoying effects while others can damage your hardware, software or files. Almost all viruses are attached to an executable file, which means the virus may exist on your computer but it actually cannot infect your computer unless you run or open the malicious program. It is important to note that a virus cannot be spread without a human action, (such as running an infected program) to keep it going. Because a virus is spread by human action people will unknowingly continue the spread of a computer virus by sharing infecting files or sending emails with viruses as attachments in the email. Fast Facts: Attaches to an executable file, requires human action to spread. What Is a Worm? A worm is similar to a virus by design an

What is the best method to Draw-Out the collected Rain water from my Barrel? That would be through drip irrigation. It is the most effective way to water, because the water is delivered right to the roots of the plants where it can be slowly absorbed into the soil. This reduces runoff and spreads the water out into the soil better promoting root growth. Water is also not lost due to evaporation. To ensure enough pressure to move the water through the drip system, the base of your barrel needs to be elevated at least two feet above the highest point in your garden, to maintain the pressure level when the barrel is less than full.  We made a mistake by not having the barrels high enough - Drip hoses need approximately 13 P.S.I. to function properly.

I'm back in business, after many days of screwing around trying to get that old software to work, with a lot of expletive deleteives finally found out. - I had a camera battery that was just about   dead - unforunately my camera is not new   and does not have any indication of a bad    battery or a nearly dead one. - Win 7 has a Live Photo Gallery Software    that sees any camera plugged into it's USB port.    Viola !!!! all my pictures were downloaded      automatically. On my computer you will hear    a clunk sound and when you check my Computer,    there they are. It was a program I never used as   I'm familiar with MSN Paint. That's my story and I'm    sticking to it.

Blog needs updating. My camera connection to the computer is down. The outdated software just doesn't compute in  Windows 7 . Drivers are outdated and the camera company was taken over by another who will not or does not care to supply them. They would like you to buy a new camera. I have not quit looking but the progress right now is very slow. Cheers.PeterL

Lake Nipissing Trout Lake The City of North Bay (population approx 54,000) draws its drinking  water from Trout Lake. North Bay's urban core is located primarily between  Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake, although the city limits contain the  lake's entire northern shore.   Lake Nipissing is the third-largest lake in Ontario. It is relatively  shallow for a large lake, with an average depth of only 4.5 m (15 ft).  Our water bill is over $76.00 a month, how much water  do we use, about $10.00 worth.

Let your grass "sleep it off".   Is your lawn a little yellowish  or brown during the Summer?  Don't worry ...  this is called  'dormancy' and it's how your lawn protects itself against  the heat.  It's true ...  so, when the weather turns hot and  dry, let your lawn sleep.  This means no watering, no  mowing and no foot traffic.  And don't worry ...  your lawn will awaken soon enough. Water early! Watering in the morning means less water is  lost to evaporation.Water 2.5 cm a week, including rainfall.   Most people overwater, yet experts say you only need  2.5 cm (1 inch) of water, a week, including rainfall,  maintain a vibrant healthy lawn. Use a rain barrel ...  Don't let storm water go to waste.   Make sure the downspouts from your home's eaves  troughs are disconnected from the sewer system and  instead drain into a rain barrel, where you can use  the water when needed.   Mow High.  Raise your

  Hulu allows access to much of their content for free on their desktop computers. This typically includes currently-airing shows and some archival material. However, if you have a cable TV account Hulu will restrict certain content, and require that you connect your cable provider account to Hulu in order to allow you to access that content. Remember: Hulu Plus used to be the branding the company used for the pay services, but in April of 2015 they dropped it to consolidate all of their offerings under the Hulu banner , so keep that in mind if you’re looking to subscribe to what just about everyone still refers to as Hulu Plus. Netflix provides a massive library of television shows that have already ended, as well as previous seasons of many currently running shows from a broad variety of networks (except HBO, sorry). One note about Netflix’s streaming offerings is that they can change month to month as licensing agreements expire, so a show you’re watching one day might not be

The "Wicked Witch " jumped back on her broom and leaves Alberta booed  by Albertan's who shot down her efforts to have natural gas heating removed from Ontario Homes and use electric heating. The cost per home owner about $10,000 for conversion never mind the double to triple cost of electricity heating. Also a big loss to Alberta Gas Suppliers who are hurting right now. What a dumb proposal. 

Windows 10 Nag If you are getting tired of a Nag from Win10 telling you it's your  last chance for a unwanted copy of Win10 to be installed - You can do this. - Right click on Win10 upgrade icon - Click on Upgrade Status - Left corner icon "getting upgrade"   view confirmation - Bottom left "cancel reservation." - Cancel Reservation. Why does MSN  complicate removal every time you want to delete some unwanted piece of software you never asked for in the first place. 

Trump threatens Canadian trade: Ronald Reagan supported the Canada-U.S. and George H.W. Bush the North American free-trade agreements. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were free traders, and Barack Obama launched trade talks with Europe and Pacific nations. But the free-trade consensus has broken down. Ms. Clinton, who is almost certain to win the Democratic presidential nomination, confronts both Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders, who opposes free trade from the left, and Mr. Trump, who on Tuesday called NAFTA “in the history of the world the single worst trade deal ever done.” In consequence, Ms. Clinton has become more hawkish on trade, saying she opposes the Trans Pacific Partnership as currently negotiated. Trade represents two-thirds of Canada’s GDP, and three-quarters of that trade is with the United States. If the Trump/Sanders opposition to free trade becomes entrenched, Canada will suffer more than most from the rising protectionist tide.  English Canada was partly

Florida's Highest Elevation 345 ft. Above Sealevel It turns out the impact of climate change on Florida - and much of the coastal United States - is not going to be anywhere near as bad as had been predicted. Apparently, it's going to be much worse . The number of people likely to be affected by rising sea levels caused by melting polar ice caps explodes to triple the previous most dire estimates. The brunt of the catastrophe is expected to be felt in the southeast, cities like Biloxi, Mississippi, Charleston, South Carolina, and an obscure little seaside hamlet called Miami, Florida. Already, tourists in Miami Beach have to slosh through ankle-deep waters when the tide is especially high. By 2100, that might be regarded as the good old days. The new study projects a future in which as many as 13.1 million Americans, nearly half of them in Florida, find themselves forced to flee or adapt as seawater rises toward their doorsteps.

Long history of free trade NAFTA, established in 1994, created a North American free trade bloc that eliminated most tariffs on trade between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. It replaced the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, in place since 1987, which eliminated barriers to trade in goods and services between Canada and the U.S.   Before that, the Canada-U.S. auto pact, in place since 1964, eliminated tariffs on automotive products in return for a share of auto assembly in Canada. NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, established in 1994, has become exhibit A on how "we lose" on trade. After all, many American jobs have been "outsourced" to Mexico. But that looks at but one side of the ledger. That an American pays less for certain things frees up capital to spend on something or on someone else. A machinist sees his job "shipped to Mexico," but the planner or analyst hired by a company with the "savings" might not see the
