The National Post reports that an Indian bride walked out of her wedding ceremony after the groom failed to solve a simple math problem. The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong she decided he was not a good  bet as a husband. .The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six? It is not recorded whether it took the man long to say 17 instead of 21 but his best  shot would have been to claim he was distracted by his bride’s beauty. According to the Post, the incident took place late Wednesday in Rasoolabad village near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state, local police officer Rakesh Kumar said Friday. Neither is recorded whether this was an arranged marriage where those to be wed don’t know each other. Sort of sounds like it. The groom’s family is said  to have tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education. “The groom’s family kept us in the dark about his poor education,” said Mohar Singh, the bride’s father. “Even a first grader can answer this.” Police were called and arranged for the return of gifts on all sides.

See capacity figures for these bins at bottom of the post

The new cost of garbage bins in Toronto reminds us once again of the entire chain of trash creation from elaborate packaging to shoving it under the meadows of Ontario. Ugh! Toronto is still burying garbage in landfill, a doubtful act which many would call an abuse of the fertile soil. A lot of people on the staff at City Hall think we should be moving to Energy from Waste, the well-proven and safe system now at work in Durham Region. At home, it seems we can use a smaller bin to the save taxes. It’s up to you. The new higher prices set in this week’s budget are shown in the image above. The sizes need a capacity figure so here they are: Small hold 75 litres, medium 120 litres, large 240 litres and extra large 360 litres 

There was a call to a location at Bayview Heights Drive and Heath Street East this evening about a suspected natural gas leak. The fire department has investigated and found no leak. It has cleared the site.

This short video shows the Duchess of Cambridge at her engaging best and happy at whatever the stage of her pregnancy. It looks like maybe seven or eight months. She was visiting the set of Downton Abbey and there were many fine photo ops.

The Leaside arena was jumping tonight with continuing action on both pads. The new rink was booked right up courtesy of the North York Hockey League. The 7.50 p.m. game was looking good shortly after the opening face off. Vaughan Rangers battled it out with the Leaside Atom Blacks.
