[Fantasia Barrino], at the television press tour to talk about her Lifetime movie, rejected any description of the Idol contract as exploitative. "It's not like that at all," she said. "Even after you win, you choose to stay, or you choose to go. And, you know, I choose to stay because they take good care of me... They'll say, 'If you want to do it, then it's here for you. If not, we can take it, and we will move on.' Finalists are obligated to tour "unless there's an illness," said Nigel Lythgoe, who works for 19 Entertainment's television division and was at the press tour to promote another reality contest, So You Think You Can Dance. Lythgoe said the Idol finalists' commitment to 19 Entertainment ends after the tour, unless they have signed a record deal with the company's in-house...
[Nadia Makarenko] said she recalls being with her mother as a young child, but has little or no memory of her father until 1945 when they were all in a displaced person's camp in Germany. She thought she might have seen him before the war ended, but she wasn't sure. I suggested it was possible her father, as a Jew, had been in a Nazi concentration camp, or a forced labourer in Germany itself, maybe even a partisan. She said she really didn't know. It wasn't all they buried in South Carolina. Her parents also tried to hide their disabled daughter, who spent most of her life in an upstairs bedroom. Makarenko said her parents feared someone might take her away and kill her, "the way the Nazis did" to the handicapped under a broad policy to rid the world of people and races they regarded as...

Years ago I was shopping in Chicago. Paying for a sweater in a posh boutique, I noticed a quotation about "the web of belief" etched in a glass panel above the cash register. I asked the saleswoman about it. "Oh, that's W.V. Quine, the philosopher," she explained. "Our CEO just loves him. Lululemon, the cultie athletic-wear store, sells philosophy along with $14 headbands. The store's reusable shopping bag offers up messages about health -- drink water, practise yoga, avoid stress -- and that seems fair enough. I get a little uncomfortable, though, when the company's in-house intellectuals lurch toward the big questions. "Nature wants us to be mediocre because we have a greater chance to survive and reproduce," reads the bag. "Mediocrity is as close to the bottom as it is to the top, a...
Last February, KAC informed Standard Aero of its intention to sever a seven-year partnership and take the lucrative engine repair and overhaul work in-house. The company had also made overtures to Standard Aero's 650 Texas employees to jump ship and continue working on the program at KAC. Right after KAC made its intentions known last winter, [Paul Soubry] said the very future of Standard Aero was in jeopardy because the U.S. government contract represented more than one-quarter of its annual revenues. As a privately held company with significant debt, its loss would have seriously impeded the company's ability to service that debt. In the late '90s, Standard Aero partnered with Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defence contractor, to bid on the propulsion business area contract for ...
There were media reports about mold being caked on the walls," says the agent with Century 21. "And that really wasn't the case. "Overall, it wasn't all that bad," says Roger Chamberland, a former fire code inspector who runs House Review, a home inspection company. He has been trained by CMHC in air quality inspection, but he says he is not affiliated with CMHC, nor does his report guarantee approval. "These homes can be more difficult to fix up than they appear," she says. "It's behind the walls where the mould can grow."
All are excellent, but if I had to choose a few that mustn't be missed, patilan (a magnificent, multi-layered crunchy pastry), the also crunchy triple nut (almonds, pistachio and cashews) and the fudge-like chocolate burfi would top the list. But then there's the one that's orange-coloured and mango-flavoured, another called tutti frutti, and a multi-coloured one that looks like Neapolitan ice cream. And those are just for starters -- the assortment is huge. Off The Bridge is a name that doesn't tell you anything. It isn't near any bridge or body of water, but occupies the site of a one-time Perkins on Pembina, just before the Bishop Grandin turn-off. A little sign outside says that this is a Sals Signature Restaurant, but the menu says Frisco's, and offers breakfasts only, 24 hours a d...

There's a dilemma when you have an environment like that and how you want to bring people into it," [Jeoff Chipman] says. "What we've decided is to put a path through there so people will be able to walk in there and enjoy it... There's another philosophy that says don't put in any paths, but people do want to walk through, and they end up walking wherever they want to go. Two ponds and professionally developed wetlands will add to the charm of the so-called "low-impact" subdivision. Working with Native Plant Solutions, a division of Ducks Unlimited, the company created wetland preserves enriched with bulrushes and natural grasses for the enjoyment of ducks and the residents alike. While some developers require lots to be purchased directly from the authorized builders for their dev...

Kimberly Lemay said she is going public because she wants to ensure the allegations aren't "swept under the rug" and added she is also worried the parents of some of the children in the home are unaware of what is happening there. Jennifer Rodrigue, a spokeswoman for St. Amant, said Lemay was not fired because she raised concerns. Rodrigue said as soon as St. Amant received Lemay's allegations in a written report, it took appropriate steps. The home used to be part of the Hydra House company but was taken over by St. Amant after an auditor's report concluded Hydra House misspent $1.5 million in provincial funding on vacation homes, Cadillacs and lavish meals for its executives.
