Are you driving with your lights off?

hen you start your car, the daytime running lights (DRL) automatically light up in front - at least since December of 1989 when it became mandatory for all new cars sold. But are you aware your daytime rear and side lights do not necessarily come on with a turn of the ignition key? If you aren't, you should be. It can pose a danger during the day, especially in bad weather like pouring rain or fog - but even more so during early evening and morning light before the sun has completely risen. Before the automatic lighting systems, one not only had to turn on their headlights manually, but the dashboard lights as well, which was a clear indication that all the lights were on. Now, because the dashboard lights come on automatically, many assume the full lighting system is on with the DRL's - but you might be getting left in the dark and making yourself almost invisi-

ble to other drivers on the road. Some cars have an 'auto' position on the lighting switch or indicator stick - and as long as it remains in that position, your rear lights should also come on.

If you are stopped safely in front of a store window, you might also be able to check the lights in the reflection. Still confused? Try turning the switch from 'auto' to 'lights on' or other positions to see if there is a difference. Or you could just stop by your dealer or garage and have them check it out for you.

The End of an Era Sears Canada to Pull the Plug

n a press release on Tuesday October 10th, Sears Canada announced its plans to seek court approval in order to begin liquidating all of its remaining stores and assets. Approximately 130 stores will be closed - and close to 12,000 employees across Canada will lose their jobs. Last June 22nd, they were granted protection from their creditors by an Ontario court - all part of their restructuring plan. Before filing with the courts, Sears began making changes to its stores across the country, trying to keep up with the trends their customers were being drawn to and it required time for those changes to have an impact. Their plans were to emerge from bankruptcy later this year - but appears it was too much of a challenge for them. In 1952 Sears Canada, then known as SimpsonSears, started out as mailorder company with a partnership between Sears Roebuck based in Chicago and the Robert Simpson Company of Toronto. Their iconic catalogues were found in homes everywhere across Canada - and even a lifeline for those living in rural areas away from cities. Then in 1984, the 'Simpson-Sears' name would no longer be when

The next few years saw senior officers of the company stepping down, replaced by new management. It was the beginning of the end. After being granted court protection last June and announcing the planned closure of 59 stores across Canada, with almost 2,900 employees to be laid off, the news this past week did not come as a surprise to many. In their press release they said, "Sears Canada, with the recommendation of its advisers and approval of the monitor, FTI Consulting Inc., is seeking an order to commence a By Bonnie Wurst liquidation that would result in a wind-down of its business following court mtltimes.ca approval… the company store, but by 2009 they deeply regrets this pendbegan to face challenges ing outcome and the reand up to 300 employees sulting loss of jobs and lost their jobs.

Valérie Plante is seeking elelction as Montreal Mayor this November By Elsa Maret mtltimes.ca

ink Metro Line – Candidate Valérie Plante is running for Mayor of Montreal this year, and one of her promises and plans for our city is to create a brand new pink metro line that would pass through some of the island’s most populated neighbourhoods. Her party claims that the new line could be completely functional by 2028, linking the island from Lachine up to Montreal North. The project would amount to at least 5.9 billion dollars.

Although the project might seem “ambitious” and “bold”, Plante and her party claim that the new metro line would considerably reduce car traffic and cut travels time for daily commuters. The line would also open up more neighbourhoods and areas to economic, cultural and social development. Recently, both levels of government have taken measures in order to reduce and fight climate change to improve the quality of life in major cites. According to Plante, a project like the “Pink Line”, would be well received amongst future infrastructure projects for funding by the govern-

ment. The “Pink Line” would start in Montreal North and move down through the following neighbourhoods: St-Léonard, Villeray-St.Michel, Parc.Extension, Rosemont, Plateau Mont Royal and Downtown. The line would then go overground to join up Notre Dame de Grâce neighbourhood and finally Lachine. This ambitious project would therefor cross eight boroughs and would link up around 520,000 people across the city to a metro station. Let us know your thoughts on a “Pink Line”.

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale

MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit: www.montrealinspectionpitfalls.com Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

Spiders on the Rampage! Wolf Spider

ome love them, most fear them. People in Montreal and especially the West Island, have been encountering an unusual number of spiders this season, a lot of them larger than they've ever seen. The weather created the perfect conditions for the little Arachnids to flourish and food was in abundance, so more of their offspring survived. And now with the season changing and it getting cooler, they're looking for their winter abodes… insides our homes. Humans might be hundreds of times bigger than the eight legged, air-breathing arthropods, but face-toface, the spider morphs into something much larger for the fearful, especially when they come inside. They suddenly appear big enough to make the toughest of the tough run screaming for their lives and in some cases, the best of warriors to don armor, baseball bats and shovels (with flame throwers at the ready) in the battle against the itsy-bitsy menace. As for those who love them, they either leave them tend to their webs in peace or take the utmost care to carefully remove them from the house and set them free outdoors. Those noble people become the heroes I call upon when in need of valiant action - action to rid my humble abode of a spider taking up a corner on my living room ceiling. It may only be the size of a dime, but it can’t fool me. I know from the look in its eight eyes that it's clearly a direct descendant of Shelob from Tolkien's Middle Earth. And bordering on arachnophobia, a Buddhist monk I am not. As the lyrics to a popular nursey rhyme goes; "The itsy bitsy spider, Climbed up the waterspout / Down came the

rain,And washed the spider out / Out came the sun And dried up all the rain… And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again". In other words, the spider just keeps coming back! There has certainly

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca

been enough arachnids around the island this summer, quite worthy of the cry 'SPIDER!' - but do we really need to fear them? Well, here's a few examples of what people have reported seeing this summer: WOLF SPIDER: They are native to Canada and actually quite harmless to humans. Most wolf spiders only bite if they feel threatened and their bites only produce a mild redness or swelling. Their 'wolf' name comes from the fact they do not use their webs to catch food and instead chase and catch their prey on the ground, like a wolf does. ORB WEAVER: Also known as the Cross Orb weaver and other names. They are non-aggressive and rarely bite - but if they do, their venom is of low risk to humans. Still, they can grow well over an inch in size (just the body) so you don't want one crawling over you. Other spiders that seem to be creeping around more this season include: LONG-LEGGED SAC SPIDER - They are mostly

found indoors and come out typically at night, crawling on ceilings and walls and are actually native to southern Europe, but slowly made their way to North America. They do bite and it could be painful like a bee sting, but their venom is non-lethal. ZEBRA JUMPER - You've seen them on rocks, window sills, cement or brick walls and around the exterior of buildings.They seem to blend into cement, but are easily identifiable by their zebra-like color pattern. When trying to catch one you have to be quick, as they have the ability to rapidly jump away. Their bite is also very low risk to humans. GRASS SPIDER - Mostly found outdoors they build their webs in grass, often around shrubs, steps and foundations. Their webs have a funnel spun into them, which they use for a quick retreat inside. They do bite when threatened, but their venom is also of low risk. On the other hand - although spiders bring out the fear in many people, they are actually very important to our ecosystem. As predators, they help control insect populations both outside and inside, including the diseases carried by mosquitoes. For gardeners and farmers, they keep unwanted insects under control. They are also food for other predators. Scientists are even studying their venom for use in medicine - and spider silk is so strong it is being used in engineering. The benefits are clear and you might want to think twice before you squish the next arachnid into oblivion. I promise… to at least try. Do you have a fear of spiders? Or are you spiderfriendly and go to any lengths to keep them alive and spinning their webs?

Why you need a Bra-Fit Specialist I

Sponsored

f you have tooth problems, you see a dentist. If you have bra problems, you see a bra fit specialist. Right? Straps that slip, wires that pinch, breasts that spill out of the cup, bands that ride up your back, the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, women often find themselves in inexperienced hands and end up walking away without a solution to their bra problems. A Bra-Fit Specialist is a trained professional who understands how a bra should fit your body. When a bra fits properly, all those “bra-blems” should disappear. You might be asking yourself, “Why is it so hard to find a bra that fits?” Well, the answer lies in two primary misconceptions women have about their bras: 1) That there is one bra size for every woman, and 2) That a woman will have the same bra size for life. Believing in these “myths” has led to a lot of dressing room heartache. Your bra size is determined by measuring your ribcage and the volume of

your breast tissue.Where it gets tricky is translating these numbers into bra “fit.” In essence, your bra should fit your body like a glove.The brand, the style, the material and of course the size can all affect how a particular bra will fit you. In fact, a well-fitting bra should meet ALL of the following 4 criteria: • The center gore of the bra rests up against your ribs. • The underwires do not touch any of your breast tissue. • The bra band is snug enough to stay parallel to the floor. • Your breasts completely fill but do not overflow, the bra cups. Since women are made in all shapes and sizes, it makes sense that their bra sizes are equally diverse. A petite woman may need a 28-band and a larger-breasted woman may need a J-cup. The problem is that these sizes are not readily available at most bra stores. Confusing, right? This is where a Bra-Fit Specialist really comes in handy. It’s also important to re-

member that your bra size will change. Fluctuations in your weight due to pregnancy, menopause, medication and lifestyle changes may require a different bra size. You may also require different types of bras such as a strapless bra for a special event, a sports bra for exercising, and a comfortable seamless bra for a polished look at work. A bra-fit professional knows how to choose a bra that will meet your needs, fits you properly and gives you the look you desire. At DEBra Lingerie we are a team of Bra-Fit Specialists, specially trained to find your “perfect fit.” We have a new location in PointeClaire Village along with our flagship store in NDG.While we specialize in cup sizes D-O, we offer fitting sessions to women of all sizes.

It is planted widely on well-drained, south-facing slate-rich slopes, with the greatest wines coming from the best slopes in the best villages.

"Rebel in the Rye" Studies at Columbia, he directed by Danny Strong will meet professor Whit attempts to capture Burnett (Kevin Spacey) Salinger's struggle with his who would eventually beown internal conflicts, come his mentor, critic,

and the one who would push Salinger into a career as a writer. It is during that time that Salinger also meets who would become the great love of his life, Oona O'Neill (Zoey Deutch), the daughter of Eugene O'Neill, who despite being a minor at the time, would frequently be present at the many social functions attended by artists and literary celebrities of the day. Salinger wasn't yet pub-

lished when the two met, but eventually, there would be a love relation, one that would carry sad memories to Salinger. The U.S. finally enters the war and Salinger enrolls in the army. It was during his stay in England waiting to be sent to action when he would learn by reading the paper that his beloved Oona had married Charlie Chaplin, then 54. The war, on the other hand, would provide material for his novel and his short

stories. Eventually, he would publish his book, would marry another beautiful lady, had a daughter, and decided to move to the countryside. That house, at first a place for a quiet stay far from the city, would eventually become his ultimate home and place of reclusion, refusing to give interviews and isolating himself from almost everyone. "Rebel in the Rye" provides a good insight into

what is known of the life of J.D. Salinger. It re-creates the period accurately and also gives some interesting views about the literary world of that time in the United States. This is a film that may interest people who like literature and those who want to know about the life of this reclusive author which until now continues to be one of the most celebrated American authors of all times. Length: 116 min.

which he had worked for thirty years. Felt did something that would eventually have enormous consequences in American politics: he leaked essential information which ultimately implicated then-President Richard Nixon to the Watergate fiasco. The political outcome of these revelations is well known, Nixon resigned the presidency to avoid the humiliation of impeachment. Using the nickname of "Deep Throat" Felt passed the information to a Washington Post reporter who eventually made it public

and with that action brought down the Nixon administration. The movie could be regarded as a tribute to a man who sacrificed his career, his own freedom, and put his family at risk to reveal something that implicated the U.S. president and somehow caused a tremendous political commotion at the time. The movie presents Felt as a man entirely dedicated to his job in the FBI and that devotion to the institution makes his whistleblowing a difficult decision. He is also facing

a complex situation in his own family after losing contact with his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;politically very distant from her father. One has to remember that the unpopular Vietnam War that deeply divided the American society was on at the time, and Felt's family was not alone in experiencing that divide within. What motivated Felt, other than the search for truth and justice, is not necessarily evident in the film, but it is probable that the whole atmosphere of discontent with what the U.S. as a society was doing

at the time could have influenced his decision. In any case, Felt's whistleblowing is archetypical because it set the parameters for future similar behaviours which we have seen in recent years: Snowden, Assange, and others who have taken risks to expose torture, human rights violations, and other illegal actions by American security agencies or the military. Felt was brave enough to do it in search of justice and truth, regardless of the personal consequences of his ac-

tions. He set an example followed by others today. The film may also be seen as an interesting commentary on recent events in the U.S. in which some potentially illegal actions could even end up compromising the White House. "Mark Felt..." is a movie that should interest especially those who follow political events and may be fascinated by historical characters such as Felt who with one determined move may alter the course of history.

A Fish Called Wand Sponsored

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

anda had a sex change. The name is now Wand. Our fish are not happy campers. We are pouring silent killers down the drain. Our poor fish are undergoing sex changes and it is not out of choice. If pouring our shampoos and soaps down the drain can make a fish do an about face in the sex department we should be concerned. The culprit is triclosan, a PPCP (polychlorinated phenoxy phenols) which is used as a preservative and antibacterial agent. It does NOT easily degrade and is building up and building up and building up in our environment. This questionable

chemical is found in soaps, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving creams and mouthwashes, all of which eventually end up swirling down our sewer pipes, entering the water world below. It is even in facial tissues. There is concern that triclosan forms other chemicals when combined with the chlorine in our waters. There is a link to it affecting our metabolism through our thyroid gland. Something bad is going on. Health Canada does dictate a limit as to how much can go into a mouthwash or cosmetic, but unfortunately they ADD UP and contribute to our body and the water around us becoming polluted. Read more about it from David Suzuki Back to the fish with

no voice. Triclosan and aquatic life do not go well together. So that is why natural soaps like Earth To Body's are a global eco necessity. Use our soaps (eg. Shampoo bar) and help Wanda keep her name. We stand behind our products. We give great customer service. Visit our online store: natural.ca. Subscribe to our newsletter. Check out our BIOS.

Couples Yoga Sponsored

11 a.m. - 1 a.m.

ouples yoga is for any two people who identify themselves as a couple and would like to work together to strengthen this bond. Working with a partner requires trust, patience, and tolerance. If that partner is also one’s sexual partner the work itself invites a new approach to problem solving: to communication, connection and cooperation. Couples yoga by definition demands cooperation.When we do balance postures, for example,

they are possible but they can happen only when both contribute. This cooperation gets past competition: each brings essential components for balance. The practice of Couples Yoga builds and strengthens partnership. Something sometimes best done without words: through steady eye contact, breath awareness, movement and intelligent touch. From this, self-confidence; and a solid foundation for mutual support and trust.

A couples practice means undistracted time together, to reconnect. A healthy workout, stress relief, quieter mind. The practice is for all, with scaleable postures. Have fun together!
