As The Story Goes 

You lock your car using the remote on your key chain.  As you walk away you hear your car door unlock.  

While traveling, a young man stops at a roadside rest to use the bathroom.  When he comes out to his car less than 4-5 minutes later, someone had gotten into his car and stolen ..... you name it. 

Truth Or Fiction??

Is there a device now in use to clone your security code when you lock the doors on your car using your key-chain locking device?

Can they sit a distance away and watch for their next victim knowing you are going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and that they now have a few minutes to get into your car?

There have been emails circulating the Internet now for a couple of years saying this has happened. 

 

After reading some of the information found by doing a google search for"keeloq encryption" and a variety of other terms I believe it is possible but not worth the effort as a good car thief can be into any automobile and gone in less than 2 minutes.

When my car was broken into they used a small sledge hammer

Your Car Is Not A Safe Place To Leave Valuables Unattended

National Day Of Mourning April 28th 2010

Many thousands of workers loose time from the job, others their lives, due to unsafe work conditions every year. This does not include ones that are unreported or due to occupational disease's. On Christmas Eve 2009 4 workers fell 13 floors to their death and another was seriously injured when the swing stage they were on collapsed. This brought the workplace death toll to approximately 400 in Ontario for the year.

During a sixteen year period (ending in 2008) an average of 887 workers per year lost their lives due to work related injuries    source  The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Saftey (CCOHS)

On April 28th, 2010 The Toronto and York region Labour council are hosting two events for The National Day of Mourning.

One is 12:00 (noon) at Nathan Phillips Square at 100 Queen St W while the other is being held in Woodbridge at 11:00am, 5020 Highway#7 and Islington Ave.

For an Ontario event near you ..... List Of National Day of Mourning Events In Ontario

Now Recognized in about 80 countries around the world the National Day of mourning was first recognized by the Canadian Labour Congress in 1984, on the 70th anniversary of Ontario's Workers Compensation Act, and officially acknowledge by the Canadian Parliament by way of legislation in February of 1991

TIMES HAVE CHANGED!!

Uxbridge, Ontario

Gentlemen

Enter At Your Own Risk

For the last two years this event had the ladies lined up around the building waiting patiently to get in.

There was a time when the male members of our species dominated the aisles of this local haunt. It was almost their exclusive domain with little to attract the average female. Over time it has evolved and responded to the market place.

No were not talking about a Chip and Dale event .....

but we are talking about a business that recognizes times have changed and so has who we market to. They recognize that what once worked well is no longer enough. Like today's web savvy real estate professionals they recognize that it is not enough to open a store front do a little newspaper advertising and sit back and wait

They recognize the importance of getting involved in the community and paying back with a variety of programs such as their Huck Finn Youth Fishing Day. They recognize the need for a corporate social conscience.

What Are We Talking About .....

We are talking about Canadian Tire, A store that is holding a Ladies Night Sunday April 18th, 6:30 to 9:30 pm. A store that is bringing CityTV's Frankie Flowers into town to showcase the latest gardening tricks and trends. A store that is providing floor space for special vendor demonstrations and of course there will be lots of free giveaways.

In addition to the free giveaways there will be Prizes, Prizes, Prizes, such as an outdoor furniture package valued at over $1,000, A signed Walter Campbell limited edition framed print and a 1 year full membership at Curveshere in Uxbridge just to name a few. 

Recognizing the power of the purse .....

An evening where ladies will take over the aisles once dominated by car parts and accessories in search of "Ladies Only" bargains. 

TIMES HAVE CHANGED!! 

As I read the promo I realized how much they had changed and how much we have changed in how we reach out to the market place and what the expectations are of those we are trying to reach.

Just as the Real Estate Industry has changed to meet the changing demands of the market place Canadian Tire has evolved from what was predominately an automotive store, where the auto service center and automotive section dominated the store, to today's store where the automotive section occupies less that 1/3 of the retail space, a store that competes in the same market place as Wallmart, Home Depot, and other major retailers.

On Stage Uxbridge is presenting the play That Summer by David French directed by Conrad Boyce

That Summeris a play about two sisters set in the late 1950s, it premiered at the Blyth Festival in 1999

Join "Maggie" as she takes us back to a summer in the late 50's at a lakeside resort here in Ontario where she and her sister Daisy vacationed with their family as it struggled to survive as a family. For her and her sister Daisy, it was a time of awakening and a time of discovery. .....

It's 1990 and Margaret Ryan has returned from Vermont to the Ontario cottage country, where she vacationed with her family. As the narrator Margaret watches Maggie, her younger self, relive the innocence and beauty of that summer. In reliving both the joy of first love and the pain of loss she comes to terms with her past and the summer that marked the end of her innocence.

Enjoy the story of two young girls who fall in love with two local boys. Daisy, on the lookout falls victim of her own confusion. Not even the eccentric neighbour Mrs' Crump, with all her fairy tale spells to help capture the heart, can help Daisy deal with her misadventures. Margaret, bookish and withdrawn, inhabiting a universe defined by poets and novelists, is seduced in spite of herself.

The play takes you back to the heartbreak of a headlong surrender to experience both won and lost in a single day .....

Sunrise Service at sunrise ..... Easter Sunday

One of my favorite services of the year is the sunrise service, where we gather overlooking the valley as  sun peeks over the horizon like a ball of fire. Bundle up warm, because it is always freezing at that time of the morning. Sometimes the cows come up to see what all the fuss is about as they see us and hear our singing.
