Toronto windmill stops spinning

Update May 1, 2011: Windmill is back in operation, lights burn brighter.

The large 91m Windshare windmill in the Exhibition grounds, installed in December2002, has stopped spinning as the bearings have given up the ghost and currently wait for replacement. These blades have nothing to do with the Toronto green power generator, but you can see the windmill working in my shot here.

Police Marine Unit

They don't wear bright red swimsuits and bounce on the beach (although their people patrol the beaches of Toronto as lifeguards) or drive flashy cigar boats, but they do drive a variety of boats along the shores of Lake Ontario keeping people safe and fighting crime in the water. Ned Hanlan II - a former police boat, sits tied up to the Queens Quay dock, above, and a smaller police boat patrols the inner harbour during the Toronto International Air Show, below.

Queens Quay has the large Toronto Police Marine Unit located at Queens Quay as well as three smaller units based out of Centre Island, Humber River and Bluffers Park.

To one of the hottest cheerleaders in all the land (18 Photos)

Back in 2008 Amanda Pflugrad’s stock was on the rise. It all started when she was featured in Sports Illustrated and quickly became the most googled cheerleader in America. Not long thereafter, The Dirty got their hands on some risque photos Amanda took on a booze cruise and the University of Oregon threatened to take away her cheer scholarship (they give those?). The photos weren’t even that bad.

Amanda took to the internet and pleaded for sites like the Dirty and Busted Coverageto remove her photos and they obliged. Amanda’s 15 minutes of fame was up and she quickly faded from the internet’s short memory. But theCHIVE hasn’t forgotten. We’ve found the old photos and we’re giving one last shout to one of the sexiest college hotties in all the land. Here’s to you Amanda Phlugard, Pfhhluegard, Pflugrad.
