Excerpt from:
Valley Stream Apartments; Lansdale, Pennsylvania - Video

First they came for the restaurant smoking sections and you didnt give a rats ass.

Then they came for the separately ventilated smoke rooms and you didnt give a rats ass.

Then they came for the partly enclosed bar patios and you didnt give a rats ass.

Now they want just about all the great outdoors: commercial patios, sidewalks, public squares and TTC shelters. (So much for the rule of thumb fire up a cigarette and the bus will come.)

Oh, theyll have public consultations on extending the choke-out for smokers, the public health board promised last week. But that wont count for licorice curls, as board chief John Filion has presumptively decided. No matter what feedback the board gets on proposals to expand Torontos anti-smoking bylaw, theyll plow ahead because consultation is a legal requirement, no more than a fingers-in-the-ears non-listening-to-you window-dressing exercise.

Anybody who has paid the slightest attention to Nico-Nazi tactics over the past three decades knows how this works drip-drip-drip of civil rights abrogated, in the name of a higher purpose; a kind of mental waterboarding for the shameless who continue to smoke.

Which, according to no less an authority than Dr. David McKeown, medical director of health for Toronto, comprises some 20 per cent of the citys population over the age of 20, a honking huge constituency to so seriously inconvenience, ignore and steamroller, on the grounds of whats good for you and more to the point good for them, the anti-smoke purists, pink and pristine of lung and virtuous of mind.

The no-smoking diktat around city playgrounds and childrens splash pads from 2009 just made me roll my eyes. I guess this might have affected the Filipino nannies minding your kids, if they happened to be smokers. Didnt matter one iota to any of the puffers I knew, accustomed by now to absorbing glares of disapproval if they ever dare to light up a dart in the vicinity of youngsters, including their own. Zealots have no off-switch.

Anyway, thats 20 per cent of the population who to hear ban-the-smoke Cassandras tell it will die gasping for air, hooked up to oxygen tanks and ventilators, with exhaled smoke spewing out of their tracheotomy hole. Well, actually these respiratory ravages can and do inflict all sorts of folks, non-smokers included, but only nicotine-enthusiasts are bludgeoned with blame, threatened to be stripped of health insurance coverage, subjected to moral shunning.

Worry not, however, about the wretched end-game part of life and all its depravities. Its not just those patients tethered to IV lines, sitting in wheelchairs parked outside hospitals, enjoying their tobacco fix, and old people shivering in the cold behind their assisted living facilities who will soon enough be considered expendable. Once the death merchants assisted suicide propagandists get their legislative way, the fragile and burdensome will be made to shuffle off alongside smokers to the colony of the unwanted, there to await lethal dispatch.

DiManno: Toronto’s choke-out for smokers escalates

Mosquitos aren't just an outdoor nuisance -- they're a legitimate cause for health concerns. So far, 2012 has been the worst year on record for reported cases of West Nile virus in the United States, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus' season will extend into October.

Luckily, this doesn't mean you can't enjoy your outdoor area. A variety of mosquito-repelling tools in every price range can help you get rid of these pests. Make sure you can use the outdoor area you've spent so much time on for the rest of this year and the next with these effective solutions.

1. Mosquito Misting Systems

There are several mosquito misting systems, such as the MistAway Mosquito Misting System, which use insecticides to eliminate the pests from your outdoor space. Most systems are either tankless or drum-based systems that can be activated by remote control or set on a timing schedule.

The active ingredient most commonly used in these automated systems is called pyrethrin, which is derived from the extract of a certain variety of chrysanthemum flowers. There are man-made pyrethrin botanicals called "permethrin" as well, which are low in toxicity to humans and mammals.

When the system is activated, tankless mosquito misting systems mix a fresh batch of the misting formula. The homeowner can specifically program the dose rate and tailor the amount of active ingredient that's used.

The drum-based system has a 55-gallon drum made of molded plastic and a soft waterproof cover. When it's activated, an agitation cycle turns on and keeps the solution well mixed to ensure even distribution of the insecticide.

The tankless system is around $1,700, while the drum system is around $1,300.

You can have a system professionally installed by an authorized dealer, but DIYers can easily find the systems online and install one themselves.

I have the drum system in my Oklahoma backyard. Right now it is set up on a timing system and has a remote control. We set up the spray nozzles around the eaves of the house, our outdoor living areas and the pool -- sort of like a sprinkler system.

While its old wall evokes the history of a long-ago empire, its elegant cityscape and convivial squares show a modern pride. Typical of southern Spain, it's a people-friendly place filled with energy and color.

Cordoba's centerpiece is its massive former mosque.or, in Spanish, Mezquita (for pronunciation ease, think female mosquito). Magical in its grandeur, this huge building dominates the higgledy-piggledy old town that surrounds it.

At its zenith, in the 10th century, the mosque was the center of Western Islam and a cultural hub that rivaled Baghdad and Constantinople. A wonder of the medieval world, the mosque is remarkably well-preserved, giving visitors a chance to appreciate Islamic Cordoba and the glory days of Muslim rule.

Grand gates lead to an outdoor courtyard sheltered by orange trees. Long ago, worshippers washed here before prayer, as directed by Muslim law. Entering the mosque, you step into a fantastic forest of delicate columns and graceful arches that seems to recede into infinity, as if reflecting the immensity and complexity of God's creation.

Inside, it's easy to picture Cordoba as the center of a thriving and sophisticated culture. During the Dark Ages, when much of Europe was barbaric and illiterate, Cordoba was a haven of enlightened thought: famous for a remarkable spirit of religious tolerance, artistic expression, and dedication to philosophy and the sciences.

Jews, Christians and Muslims had figured out how to live together more or less harmoniously. Everyone spoke the same language, cooked the same dishes, wore the same type of clothes and shared the same public baths. It was one culture, with three religious traditions.

But in 1236, when Christians conquered the city, everything changed. According to legend, one morning Muslims said their last prayers in the great mosque, and that afternoon the Christians set up a portable altar to celebrate their first Mass. Later, as if planting a cross into the mosque's religious heart, they build an imposing cathedral in the middle of the Mezquita. Towering overhead, the cathedral's bell tower encloses what had been a minaret.

In its juxtaposition of traditions, the Mezquita uniquely embodies the interplay of Spain's Christian and Muslim cultures.

Cordoba has a fortress (Alcazar), a 14th-century synagogue, a Roman bridge, and the Museum of Al-Andalus Life (unabashedly pro-Muslim), but most tourists leave the city having seen only the Mezquita and the trinket shops and cute medieval quarter that surround it.

What: 2012 Main Street patio program update

When: 6:30 p.m. Nov. 7

Where: Louisville City Hall, 749 Main St.

LOUISVILLE -- The question of what role city government should play in the vitality of downtown Louisville will take center stage next week when a discussion on the future of the popular summertime patios on Main Street comes before the public.

The city is considering taking over the patio program, which for the past four years has been run by the Louisville Downtown Business Association, and wants the public's input on the best way to proceed.

Options include providing permanent space for outdoor seating on the sidewalks between Spruce and Walnut streets or installing hardier modular patios on that block on a seasonal basis.

City staff members will give a public presentation on the options Nov. 7 and then present the City Council with a final recommendation on how to proceed.

Diana Trettin, Louisville's capital improvement projects manager, said the existing wooden patios have a "fairly short life span" and can be easily damaged on installment or take-down. They are also bulky and difficult to store, she said.

"It's not an inexpensive endeavor," Trettin said, noting that the business association asked the city for help managing the patios. "The council would like to see them out there."
