British Columbia Economy
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
John Baird Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
We have an excellent working relationship. We are making unprecedented investments, not just under building Canada, not just under the stimulus program, but with major investments in the Asia-Pacific gateway, step by step. No government in Canadian history has delivered more for British Columbia than this team right here.
Broadband Canada Program
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Serge Cardin Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, last September the government stated that the projects selected as part of the broadband Canada program would be announced at the end of 2009. Here it is April 2010 and still no projects have been announced. The Fédération québécoise des municipalités has complained about the significant delays with this program.
Will the minister announce all of the selected projects immediately, or will municipalities have to keep waiting, at the risk of compromising other projects?
Broadband Canada Program
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of State (Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec)
Mr. Speaker, as part of our digital economy strategy for Canada, we are taking measures to extend broadband service to all provinces and territories. The 2009 budget directed $225 million to extending the broadband Canada program.
Industry Canada launched an application process that has been very successful. We are taking a final look at these applications and we will announce those selected at a later date, no thanks to the Bloc, which, once again, voted against this project.
Automotive Industry
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Brian Masse Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the American transportation secretary has labelled Toyota "safety deaf". He has actually levied millions of dollars of fines and is considering more. Now Consumer Reports has put a Toyota vehicle on the rare "do not buy" list. What is happening on the Canadian side? The minister actually issued a statement and a press release applauding Toyota's behaviour.
Meanwhile, American, Japanese and European governments are investigating Toyota executives for failure to act. The minister and the Prime Minister know how to call the RCMP. When will Toyota executives be investigated in Canada just as they are being investigated across the planet?
Automotive Industry
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, let me say two things. One is that officials within Canada's defect investigations and recalls division are in fact conducting an investigation. The member knows that, because these officials appeared before committee. With respect to the Lexus issue he raised, coming from Consumer Reports, our defect investigations and recalls division has received no complaints of rollovers and no complaints about steering systems from the 2007-11 years.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Mike Wallace Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, one year ago today, the Liberal leader issued his pledge to raise Canadians' taxes and kill jobs. The Liberal leader called for higher taxes on all Canadians. He has been joined by key Liberal spokespersons like the members for Parkdale—High Park and Dartmouth—Cole Harbour.
Can the Minister of Finance please inform the House how many jobs the Liberal leader's GST hike will kill?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Burlington for his historically accurate question about the Liberal leader and tax hikes.
Canadians are, of course, concerned with the Liberal plan to recklessly raise taxes. A 2% hike in the GST by the Liberals would kill 162,000 jobs in Canada. While they dream of tax hikes, our government is cutting taxes and helping fuel job growth, with 18,000 new jobs in the month of March and 180,000 new jobs since July 2009.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, information in the public domain suggests Nazim Gillani has unsavoury connections, including public links to organized crime, and is reported to be the subject of police investigations. Today we learned that he put his business associates in compromising positions by taking photographs as a means to ensure their silence. Given this, is the government aware of any risk that Mr. Jaffer or the former minister was or could have been compromised by Mr. Gillani or anyone associated with him?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Malpeque certainly has quite the imagination. I do not know the individual in question so I cannot speak to the issue. But what I can say is that when allegations were brought to the Prime Minister's attention, what he did was refer the issue to an independent officer of the House, what he did was refer it to the relevant police authorities. That is ethical conduct. That is doing the right thing.
Competition Bureau
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Robert Vincent Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government has announced that it will crack down on gas stations that are overcharging customers because of inaccurate pumps. But the real problem is that the retail price of gasoline systematically increases just before long weekends or vacation. The near-monopoly held by oil companies needs to be watched more closely.
Why is the government not really dealing with the problem by giving the Competition Bureau more power, as the Bloc proposes in Bill C-452?
Competition Bureau
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont
Mike Lake Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, our government has always been supportive of the Canadian consumer, and although of course I cannot speak specifically to the issue the member is referring to, I look forward to this possibility. This is a great example of a positive change that will benefit Canadians where it matters most. There are those in the opposition who want to talk about raising taxes, but our government believes in instituting measures that will positively affect Canadian consumers.
Oral Questions
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Michael Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order on something that was raised in question period.
A few minutes ago the member for Burlington, in his fiction about the Leader of the Opposition calling for more taxes, invoked my name, the member for Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, suggesting that I had suggested we should have higher taxes. I am not suggesting that we should have an incredibly high standard such as truth from the government side. I never did that.
I did an interview where the Tory war room put out a quote suggesting a whole bunch of things that journalists have pointed out were totally inaccurate and untrue. I never said that. I do not expect an apology from that side because I do not know if it is capable of it, but I would ask the member for Burlington to check those little notes that he got from the apparatchiks in the back room and see if it is true before he stands up and besmirches himself.
Oral Questions
Points of Order
Oral Questions

The Speaker Peter Milliken
I am sure the hon. member for Burlington will be paying close attention to the hon. member for Dartmouth—Cole Harbour.
Canadian Security Intelligence Service
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 32(2), it is my pleasure to table, in both official languages, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service public report for 2008-09.
Government Response to Petitions
Routine Proceedings
April 14th, 2010 / 3:05 p.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8) I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 19 petitions.

Sometimes the best ideas are the ones that are "borrowed" from somebody else. There are hundreds of sites out there on the web. Below are some of the better ones for practice ideas.
All the "drills" (or exercises) don't always work perfectly so remember to be flexible in how you set them up. Think about the skill level and age of your players. If things seem too difficult, open the space up more or slow the drill down. If it is too easy, give restrictions to your players, such as limited touch, smaller fields, time limits, weaker foot, etc.
Try not to have players stand in lines. Remember, that players will start getting antsy once they have to wait around. Keep the practices flowing. That means…HAVE A PRACTICE PLAN.
If you have any questions, or things just aren't working out, feel free to e-mail us.

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Creepy, crawly — and cool
Youngsters waded into the waist-deep water of a slough southeast of Minot last week in search of bloodworms, leeches and other creepy crawlies.
"If you see tadpoles, net 'em!" called Ken Cabarle, instructor of the Minot State University College for Kids class called "Salamanders, Frogs and their Homes." "Get your hands on those things!"
Cabarle said the class of 8- to 12-year-olds probably could not expect to find actual salamanders or frogs that day in the slough near the North Dakota State University Research Center, since conditions weren't exactly right. But, in the past, scientists have found up to eight different types of amphibians living in the muddy waters, creatures such as tiger salamanders, wood frogs, spade-foot toads and Plains toads. Cabarle first explored the slough while he was working as a research assistant to MSU biology professor Chris Beachy. Cabarle, who is now an assistant professor at Dakota College at Bottineau and adviser to the fish and wildlife program, is currently finishing up his own Ph.D. He has taught previous College for Kids classes at Minot State and said some kids keep coming back year after year.
When they first began the four-day class, Cabarle said he taught the children about the different types of amphibians and the kids each adopted an amphibian in the lab as a pet that they were responsible for during the week.
They also learned about the amphibians' habitat, how they walk and swim, where they breed and, on the third day, they learned about the type of food they eat. Wednesday, the third day of the class, was "food day," or, as Cabarle's son and teaching assistant Jordan, calls it, "Wet Day." Jordan Cabarle said he doesn't think he wants his own future career to involve anything that requires wading into a slough.
Some of the junior herpetologists, like Jordan, were less enthusiastic than others about getting their feet wet at first, while others charged ahead with their nets held at the ready. After a few minutes, all of the children were traipsing into the water and looking for creatures to show Cabarle.
Cabarle said he's trying to grow future scientists by teaching these classes and hopes to spark an interest in biology by showing them what scientists actually do. Biologists don't just work in a nice, clean laboratory, said Cabarle. They go out into the field to collect the specimens they study to learn more about nature, just like the junior herpetologists were doing.
There are several sessions of the Salamanders, Frogs and their Homes class this summer. The limit is 12 per class; Cabarle said he thought most sessions were full. For more information about openings in this class or other College for Kids classes, call Amy Woodbeck at 858-3989, toll free 1-800-777-0750, ext. 3989, or e-mail Amy.Woodbeck

Royal Hashemite Court (Jordan)
King meets Foreign Relations Committee
Washington, DC, 12 February 2014
His Majesty King Abdullah met key members and leaders of the US Congress on Wednesday in Washington DC and discussed with them bilateral relations and means of further strengthening them.
King Abdullah discussed also discussed the developments in the peace process and the latest developments regarding the Syrian crisis.
During the meeting, attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, the King met Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez and Committee members, Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski Maryland, Chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
His Majesty's meetings with key members of the US Congress covered regional developments and means to boost bilateral ties to best serve the interests of the two countries.
Discussions focused on efforts to bring about peace in the Middle East and US efforts in this area. The King underlined Jordan's commitment to achieve a comprehensive and just peace that protects its interests and strategic priorities, especially when it comes to final status issues.
His Majesty stressed that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that lives side-by-side with Israel is a regional and global interest to bring about peace and foster security and stability in the region based on the two-state solution and international resolutions.
They also discussed the latest developments in Syria, with His Majesty reiterating the Kingdom's stand in support of a comprehensive political solution to the crisis that ends the bloodshed and suffering of Syrians, and preserves the unity and cohesion of their country.
The King called on the international community to support Jordan's relief efforts targeting Syrian refugees, who are placing a "huge" burden on the Kingdom's scarce resources and affecting the quality of life in host communities, including infrastructure, health and education.
On the other hand, His Majesty reviewed achievements realised under Jordan's comprehensive reform drive aimed to enhance public participation in the decision-making process and push the development process forward.
For their part, the lawmakers voiced their appreciation for the King's efforts to bring about comprehensive peace, in addition to Jordan's endeavours to provide humanitarian services to Syrian refugees.
They underlined their commitment to continued coordination with His Majesty over regional issues and stressed the need to support Jordan economically, to help it face difficulties arising from the refugee influx.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration's newest anti-pollution plan would ping American drivers where they wince the most: at the gas pump. That makes arguments weighing the cost against the health benefits politically potent.
As I am writing this, the Supreme Court is hearing two cases involving the controversial topic of same sex marriage. This is an issue I have discussed before in this column, obviously with respect to how it might impact Social Security. I decided to resurrect that column and reprint it here because the subject is so timely.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved a first-of-its-kind diabetes drug from Johnson & Johnson that uses a new method to lower blood sugar - flushing it out in patients' urine.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Shipping company UPS has agreed to pay $40 million to end a federal criminal probe connected to its work for online pharmacies.
NEW YORK (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of workers in New York City are poised to get paid sick days in what may prove a pivotal moment in a national debate over whether businesses should be required to provide them.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Firearms manufacturers upset over newly restrictive gun laws and proposals in their home states are getting a message from other places: Move here, where the climate is favorable to your products and so are the tax codes.
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. consumers stepped up spending in February after their income jumped, aided by a stronger job market that offset some of the drag from higher taxes. The gains led economists to predict stronger economic growth at the start of the year.
NEW YORK (AP) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it is 'probable' that the world's largest retailer will incur a loss due to ongoing bribery investigations by itself and government agencies, but it says it is too early to speculate on the size of the damage.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Hunters across the country say they are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Twitter's ad revenue is believed to be on pace to double this year as the online messaging service delivers more marketing pitches to mobile devices in preparation for a highly anticipated initial public offering of stock.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Interior is cutting federal mineral payments to 35 states by about $110 million this fiscal year as part of the automatic federal spending cuts that started this month.
MOUNTAIN VIEW (AP) - Google has picked out 8,000 people who will be given a chance to don a pair of Internet-connected glasses and make a fashion statement likely to be envied by gadget-loving geeks around the world.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Broadcaster CBS Corp. is buying a 50 percent stake in TV Guide's pay TV channel and website for nearly $100 million, according to a person familiar with the matter.
NEW YORK (AP) - T-Mobile USA on Tuesday said it will start offering the iPhone on April 12, filling what its CEO said was "a huge void" in its phone lineup.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Gains in housing and manufacturing propelled the U.S. economy over the winter, according to reports released Tuesday, and analysts say they point to the resilience of consumers and businesses as government spending cuts kick in.

Residents Asked What They Want In Cattaraugus County Plan
OLEAN – What does Cattaraugus County have to offer? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Where can Cattaraugus County be in five, 10 years? Those were the questions recently posed to a room full of residents in the Magnano Room of Jamestown Community College's Cutco Theater in Olean.
The questions were asked to help Wendel Companies of Buffalo figure out what a comprehensive plan for Cattaraugus County should look like. For those in the Olean meeting, it all boils down to nostalgia and outdoor recreation.
Cattaraugus County's natural assets were highlighted as drawing points that should be featured in the county. With the Enchanted Mountains rising over much of the county, trails for many activities, to include equestrian, hiking, snowmobiling and biking, would play into a plan that would be favorable, in the southeastern part of the county. Likewise, a major river runs most of the southern part of the county as well, offering water recreation areas. All of this development could lead to jobs, according to Drew Reilly, of Wendel.
On the jobs front, many calling for more areas to have shovel-ready areas were countered with ideas on both sides of the fence. Cattaraugus County Legislator Dan Hale, R-Portville, said that approach is akin to putting the horse before the cart.
"No one is coming in as it is, what makes anyone think that, if we have places that are ready, people will come in and start businesses?" he asked.
District 7 Legislator James Boser, D-Allegany, agreed with that sentiment.
"We do not make it easy," he said. "With all of the regulations that we have at the various levels of government, why would a business come in?"
Reilly said a step beyond the shovel-ready concept is what may be needed, saying that many of the places that he has worked to help develop in an economic sense have gone through a pre-permitting process that could circumvent at least the local hassles that can arise in going to local zoning and planning boards.
According to Reilly, the plans could be fully established on a site, with permits already in place and when developers come in, if they already have the prerequisites met that have been placed on the land, they would be able to bypass the planning board process and start to develop right away.
A final piece that seemed to permeate the room was the reminiscent ideas of the former Cloud 9, in Olean and Fentier Village, in Salamanca, as well as items like the old barns along the roadside. All of those things, according to a few people in the room, should be eyed, kept and developed into a way to entice the 1.5 million visitors to Allegany State Park, as well as the millions that visit the Seneca Allegany Casino out of the venues and take a trip through the county.
The ideas that were presented will be taken, in conjunction with the ideas that are generated in the next two meetings to be held, and Wendel Companies will compile the ideas for presentation in a second round of public input sessions, "To make sure we heard what you said, correctly," Reilly said.
Second and third meetings will be held at the Machias Library on Thursday, and the final meeting will be held Wednesday, May 14 in the Legislative Chambers of the Cattaraugus County Center, in Little Valley. All of the sessions are expected to start at 6 p.m. with an open house, moving into presentations on the project background and the planning process at 7:15 p.m.

Implications for practice and research
Pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant may benefit from substituting some animal protein with vegetable protein (including nuts) and perhaps replacing some red meat with fish and poultry.
Midwives can incorporate this nutritional advice into prenatal care.
The role of advanced glycation end products and influence on diabetes risk is a research priority.
Intervention studies are required to assess the effects of reducing and substituting some forms of meat before and during pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can result in significant adverse outcomes for mother and child, both in the short-term and long-term …

Restaurant owners to rebuild after early morning fire
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Investigators spent the day digging through the ashes to determine what caused the fire that burned the Handle Bar Restaurant and Hell Yeah Cycles early Wednesday morning.
Daisy Smith's phone rang at 4 a.m. Wednesday morning.
"We just got the call that the place was on fire, no details," she said.
She and her husband raced to the restaurant they only opened six weeks ago only to find, "flames, smoke, your worst nightmare."
video They found their found their business, the Handle Bar Restaurant and Hell Yeah Cycles burning. Spokane Valley firefighters called a second alarm because they needed more help to put the fire out.
"It's hard when this is your livelihood, your passion, your dream and it's up in flames," Smith said.
Investigators believe the fire may have started in the basement and worked it's way to the attic, collapsing a portion of the main floor as it spread.
"This has been remodeled three or four times so there's a lot of void spaces. It took us a long time to get every bit of it," Pat Schaffer with the Spokane Valley Fire Department said.
The Smiths and a business partner spent almost every day of the past year remodeling the building in order to open last month.
"The guys have put a lot of heart and soul and many, many hours of labor into this. It's a labor of love," Smith said. "This just kills me. It's Christmas time and we have displaced employees. It's tough. It's very, very tough."
The building suffered severe damage. Firefighters were able to save several bikes, including Keith Adkins' '89 Harley.
"It was my older sister's bike, and she's passed away, so it meant a whole lot to me," Adkins said. "Glad to see it's okay but just a little dirty."
Smith, who even as her building burned ran and got coffee and donuts for firefighters, said they have insurance and will rebuild.
"Like I tell the people at my work, let's put the big girl pants on and lets get going again. Gotta do it," she said.

Barca march on at the top
A review of the weekend's action in the Spanish Primera Liga, including an away-day romp for Barcelona.
- Related Content
Andres Iniesta took centre stage with a virtuoso display as Barcelona continued their unbeaten start to the Primera Division season with a classy 4-0 victory at Levante.
Iniesta provided assists for Lionel Messi's quickfire double - his 81st and 82nd goals this calendar year - before lashing home a goal of his own and playing in Cesc Fabregas for a fourth as Barcelona ran riot in a devastating 18-minute spell at the start of the second half.
Jose Barkero had the chance to pull a goal back for the hosts late on but saw his tame penalty saved by Victor Valdes as Barca comfortably maintained their three-point lead at the top of La Liga with their 11th win in 12 matches.
Atletico Madrid stretched their 100 per cent record at the Vicente Calderon this season to 10 games with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over nine-man Sevilla.
The game was almost over as a contest after just 20 minutes when Koke was brought down by Federico Fazio inside the area and - after the Italian defender had seen a red card for a professional foul - Radamel Falcao hammered home his 14th goal of the season from the penalty spot.
Two goals in four minutes just before half-time sealed the points for Atleti as Emir Spahic turned Arda Turan's cross into his own net before Koke capped a fine individual display with a stunning volleyed finish from Diego Costa's lobbed pass.
And Sevilla's miserable night was rounded off when Ivan Rakitic received a second yellow card for hacking down Tiago, leaving Miranda to tap home a fourth goal in stoppage time.
Deportivo moved out of the relegation zone thanks to a vital point earned from a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao at San Mames.
The hosts took a deserved lead before the break as Oscar de Marcos converted Markel Susaeta's cross in the 24th minute, but Abel Aguilar headed Depor level from Juan Carlos Valeron's driven ball just after half-time.
Athletic pressed for the winner but Fernando Llorente failed to find the target with three headers, with Andoni Iraola and Iker Muniain also coming close, and there was to be no way through for the Basque outfit.
In Sunday's opening fixture, Getafe heaped more misery on Espanyol by inflicting a 2-0 defeat on the division's bottom team at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat.
Pedro Leon's early strike set the visitors on their way and Mane put the result beyond doubt with a second goal in stoppage time.
On Saturday, Real Madrid's hopes of defending the title suffered a further dent as they went down 1-0 at Real Betis.
Benat Etxebarria netted the game's only goal after 17 minutes as Pepe Mel's side went some way to redeeming themselves after last weekend's 5-1 derby mauling at the hands of Sevilla.
The result left Jose Mourinho's champions in third place in the standings - 11 points adrift of arch rivals Barcelona.
Malaga registered their first league win in five games as they hammered Valencia 4-0 at La Rosaleda.
The margin of victory could have been even greater for the hosts who controlled the game from the off and went ahead just eight minutes in when Francisco Portillo curled home from Eliseu's cut-back.
Joaquin and Javier Saviola squandered a number of chances to increase the lead before the latter made it 2-0 15 minutes from time, a goal that was quickly followed by a third from Roque Santa Cruz.
Valencia were then reduced to 10 men as Adil Rami saw a second yellow card and Isco rounded off a fantastic evening for Malaga with a fourth in stoppage time.
Victory moves Malaga back into the top four for at least 24 hours ahead of Levante's meeting with Barcelona, while a seventh away game without victory this season sees Valencia slip four points off the Champions League places.
Real Valladolid stretched their unbeaten home run to six games as Manucho's second-half strike secured a 1-0 victory over Granada.
The Angolan had come close to breaking the deadlock in the first half with an overhead kick but made no mistake just after the hour when he was played in by Oscar Gonzalez and sent a fierce shot beyond Tono into the top corner.
Tono then did brilliantly to deny the former Manchester United striker a second moments later, but Granada could only force Dani Hernandez into one simple save from Floro Flores in their search for an equaliser as they remained just a point above the relegation zone.
Rayo Vallecano left it very late too see off out-of-form Real Mallorca 2-0 in an awful game.
A match utterly devoid of excitement looked headed for a goalless draw until Leo Baptistao broke the deadlock with a goal totally out of keeping with what had gone beforehand, firing home low from 30 yards.
He then turned provider as substitute Andrija Delibasic got a second in the 90th minute to keep the hosts well-placed in the top half and condemn the visitors to a seventh defeat in eight league games.
On Friday night, Real Sociedad's recent good form deserted them as they were held at home by struggling Osasuna.
Sociedad came into the game targeting a third straight win, but had to settle for just a point, despite edging a disappointing match.
Philippe Montanier's side, 2-1 victors over Malaga a fortnight ago and 4-0 winners against Rayo Vallecano on Monday, could have gone sixth with victory, but they drew a blank against the league's second-bottom side.
As it was they remained ninth, while their opponents moved to within a point of safety.

Family of missing man asks for public's help
Too much being made of Miley Cyrus
I'm dope. I've got the 4-1-1. And I still don't know what twerking is.
Sure I had heard the word, but I think I always confused it with "tweaking," as in tweaking out or going crazy. I am not very involved in pop culture. I like music, but I would be hard pressed to tell you the names of the members of my favorite bands, much less which artist is responsible for the latest obnoxiously catchy pop song or which Hollywood divorce is shocking the nation this week. But I mostly accept that other people are intrigued by these debaucherous goings on and move on with my life.
So two weeks ago when my little sister asked scornfully if I had watched the VMAs, I said of course not and spaced out while her voice careened up an octave and morphed into that of the teacher from Charlie Brown. I made interested noises until she was done, thinking that was the end of it.
Then I noticed that on CNN.com the top story – I feel the need to stress this was the top story on a generally respected news network while people were being massacred in Syria and Egypt – was Miley Cyrus twerking during her performance at the VMAs.
The internet exploded.
I started avoiding Facebook – my only social media account – because I couldn't read any more inane and judgmental comments. I have so far avoided throwing my opinion out there, but I just can't hold it in any longer.
Who cares?
It's the VMAs, folks. This is the same show where Madonna and Britney Spears kissed a few years ago, causing such a scandal that everyone has mostly forgotten about by now. I have read a lot of reactions to what is, I have determined, just bad dancing in an unflattering outfit. Some columnists bite their nails over how the children who loved Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana will react. They foresee American Eagle selling out of all the flesh colored latex booty shorts and matching bras while parents cry in the corner. Groan. I would suggest not allowing an impressionable child to even watch the VMAs or, if the damage is already done, talk about it. Explain that the dance is ridiculous – and no one can claim she didn't look a bit silly – and that sometimes people do stupid things.
Another columnist claimed that the dance was racist. Since the dance, she claimed, originated in poor black culture, Miley Cyrus twerking was an appropriation of African American culture by a rich white woman. That seemed to me like more than a bit of a stretch.
Many pieces I've read agree with me that this performance should be a non-issue. But we all keep talking about it, even people like me who generally let pop culture do its thing without wasting much energy worrying about it. For many vocal responders, the issue is not the twerk itself but the reactions to the twerk – it seems like kind of a vicious circle, but it's true. If CNN hadn't posted the story as the most prominent news of the day, with actual issues like Syria and the Manning trial pushed down the page, I probably wouldn't have read anything about it and simply let Facebook wear itself out mocking and defending a 20-year-old actress.
But they did, and I did, so here we are. What was, Miley Cyrus has admitted, just a ploy to get people talking has worked. We are talking – about race, sexual identity, feminism and the shallow priorities of our culture. By now Cyrus has mostly been put back where she belongs on the entertainment and gossip pages – and of course the Daily Mining Gazette Living page – and CNN and other news networks have shifted their attention back to actual news.
In the meantime I will be taking bets on the next Hollywood scandal.

New to eLearning? Try Adobe Captivate 8!
Guest post by Coline Son Lee, Principal & Learning Strategist at Everest CS, Orange County, CA
How Adobe has broken the entry barrier to developing eLearning with a more powerful and responsive product!
As an eLearning developer, I am often asked by others considering making the leap from developing instructor-led training (ILT) to eLearning what is the "best" tool to learn/use. And this loaded question is often narrowed down to two options – Captivate or …?
My response isn't usually a simple one. I take the time to peel back the layers of their motivation to uncover and understand what the originator of the question is trying to accomplish. Will eLearning benefit your organization? What resources (budget, time, talent) are or will be dedicated to this endeavor? Once we get past this step of verifying the business case for eLearning, my recommendation is to take the plunge and learn Adobe Captivate.
A Robust Tool That Sets You Up for Success!
To help them understand my recommendation I use the analogy that using Captivate is like driving a "stick shift" or manual transmission car. Stick shift transmissions give drivers more control over the car's power and fuel economy. Plus – once you learn to drive a "stick", you pretty much set yourself up to drive any type of car. However, the same isn't usually true when you do it in the reverse. Going from automatic to manual requires a new learning curve as the driver fumbles with the clutch to control the car. Likewise, there are many rapid development tools available for eLearning development, with varying levels of ease-of-learning, but like my car analogy, if you develop your skills with a robust tool such as Captivate, transitioning to any other tool is a breeze and development in a broad sense, more intuitive.

The One Laptop per Child Foundation (OLPC), a nonprofit organization, and Pixel Qi Corp., an innovator in low-power displays, have signed a permanent and royalty-free cross-licensing agreement that will allow both organizations to use the most advanced screen technology.
"A huge barrier to getting computers to mass use in the developing world is limited access to electricity. Pixel Qi is designing new screens for OLPC that will keep laptops going even longer between recharges and excel in long-form reading while providing color and video. Furthermore, we are not aware of any blanket technology license of this scale of current and future inventions by a commercial firm to a non-profit humanitarian effort and hope to set an example for other corporations to follow," said Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of One Laptop per Child.
As a result of the agreement, OLPC receives full license to all Pixel Qi "3qi" screen technology, including 70+ patents in process and all current and future intellectual property developed by Pixel Qi for multi-mode screens. Pixel Qi is leading the design of new screens for OLPC's next-generation XO laptops. The agreement also calls for Pixel Qi to receive full license to the dual-mode (indoor and outdoor) display technology used in the XO.
"OLPC's focus on the need for low-cost, low-power devices led me to invent power-efficient LCD screens that are optimized for reading. Commercial tablets, notebook computers and smart phones have precisely the same needs. This is one of the few examples in which cutting-edge computer technology first deployed for developing nations benefits the developed world as well," said Mary Lou Jepsen, founder and chief executive of Pixel Qi.

I hate it when the sun comes blaring into my bedroom when I'm trying to sleep in.
I love animals, their delicous...
i hate morning im grumpy, ucorordinated and loo like ive just gone ten rounds with david haye if i can help it i try not to see the morning hours of a day by getting up about 1-2 in the afternoon and definetly dont wake me up unless its a emergency ill chuc the closest thing near me in the genral direction of the sound jk but i have smashed my alarm 33 times by chucking it at the wall, out the window etc...
doing the same thing i do every night trying to take over the world
I used to ...
I mustanottagottalotta sleep last night.
no i'm not, i have to have a walk and think stuffs by myself nefore you could talk to me. i need to wake up early though since my first class is always 7:30 am.
kill me! i ain't innocent!
its 4:am sure sure im a morning person then i go to sleep at 7
One word...No.
I Just Wasted A Few Seconds Of Your Lives. xD
yeah, well for better words I was made to a morning person, through middle school to high school I would wake up at 5:30 a.m. every morning...
man it's been so long...
Yeah, my "sleeping in" is at 7 in the morning XD
My early sleep time is 8 and late time is 10 at night
HELL NO!!!!! Im sleeping leave me alone im going to throw a tantrum like a little two year old if u try and wake me so its best you dont!! Ugh mornings suck!!
Man Fuck This Website
Only if I wake up to sexytime....
Then yes, Teddy is a morning person >:]
I\'m done...
Definitely not. I wake up all dazed and grungy. In the mornings I have a short temper and I don't like conversations so I listen to music to try keep away. It usually takes me an hour to calm down a little and get back into myself. Also, some reason i'm not as hungry in the mornings as other people, i've asked my brother and he's always hungry in the mornings along side with my other family members. I think it's because my body takes a while to wake up so I react this way in the morning.
On the other hand it's an absolute opposite at dawn/midnight, I turn into a hyper kid that jumps about and just can't settle into bed so I have to stay up until i'm tired enough to go sleep. I eat much more when it's dawn/midnight, I talk and think much more. I mean it's like I have a split personality. After i've relaxed a while from all the hyper movement I turn into a more mature person and think a lot about life and so n' so (Don't ask me why).
I'm not a morning person i'm a night owl
P.S I read what I wrote and wtf i'm weird
This Guy Got His Profile Raped Bad. <3 // i turned his profile gay .
im like a zombie in the mornings, absolutely hate them, more of a afternoon person then a night person as im usually wide awake about 2pm but tired at about midnight.
howdy partner!!!
Oh hell no, I'm always amazed at how people seem and look so awake at mornings.
Only when I'm not in my house.
When I'm on the beach or in field trip, I always wake up before morning.
Screw the morning. The night is all that matters!
My fantasies keep me going

This document presents the security profile for electric grid substation automation technology. The profile addresses security concerns associated with automated and manual interaction in support of system protection (inter and intra-substation), system control (local and remote), system optimization (e.g., voltage and reactive power), and system monitoring (i.e., equipment health) performed by equipment located in transmission and distribution substations. The recommendations made herein are based on stated system architectural and functional assumptions, and offer a security baseline for overall use of substation automation technology with tailored subsets of recommendations where variations in system deployment or usage occur.
This document defines a reference architecture, a set of roles to define system functionality and communications, and a set of security controls for systems and components that implement the roles. The security controls in this document are inspired by and reference the application of technical requirements found in NIST Interagency Report (IR) 7628: Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security to substation automation systems and technology. The underlying approach behind this document was therefore to (1) study real-world use of substation automation systems, (2) define the function of these systems by presenting a reference architecture that defines abstract roles and their interactions through state machines and communications analyses, (3) map the architecture's roles to real-world substation automation systems, (4) define broad security objectives for substation automation systems, (5) identify potential failure modes for each role in the context of the state machines and communications analyses, (6) define security controls to address the failure modes, and (7) assign controls to the appropriate elements of the reference architecture.
The primary audiences for this document are system owners, system implementers, and security engineers within organizations that are developing or implementing solutions requiring or providing substation automation functionality. This security profile is intended to be suitable for review, analysis, evolution, and improvement by the broader research and engineering community through the profile's presentation of details behind the analyses, such as the complete state-machine models for each of the in-scope substation automation roles and the explicit linkage between failure modes and recommended controls.

The man behind a New Mexico county's fracking ban
Last year Mora became the first county in the nation to permanently ban oil and gas development.
On a raw, bright winter day, John Olívas and his wife, Pam, hold court at the Hatchas Café in Mora, New Mexico. They seem to know everybody who comes in, chatting as they stamp snow off their boots and find seats. The street is lined with crumbling adobes and rusty pickups, and snowpacked pastures dotted with livestock and unused farm equipment stretch toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. There's not a fast food drive-through or big-box store in sight.
Olívas, a lean and youthful 43, is a longtime hunting guide and more recent wilderness advocate who was elected to the Mora County Commission in 2010. He lives in the house his great-grandparents built 200 years ago; his family was among the original settlers of the Mora Land Grant in 1835, when it was still part of Mexico. By local standards, that's not very long ago; many residents still speak the archaic Spanish that the original settlers brought to these mountain villages in the early 1600s.
When I sit at his table, Olívas launches without preamble into a tirade against hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," which involves shooting a mixture of water, chemicals and sand deep underground to release oil or natural gas trapped in layers of rock. He worries that fracking and other aspects of oil and gas development will use too much water and pollute the other resources that this agrarian Indo-Hispano community needs. "We grow our own food. We burn our own wood," he explains. "People come to Mora for the landscape and the clean water and the clean air."
In April 2013, Olívas – modest and soft-spoken but ready for a fight – led the charge to make his county the first in the U.S. to permanently ban corporations from fracking or otherwise developing oil and gas within its borders. "A lot of people asked, 'Who in the heck is this small community up in northern New Mexico that's picking a fight with oil and gas?' " he says. As a matter of survival, local people have always prioritized conservation, and they resent outside corporations making money at their expense, he notes. During six months of meetings, residents made clear that they want to protect their land-based heritage. "If you allow industry to come into your community, it changes the dynamics of the culture. I don't think we're ready for that."
Though Olívas acknowledges being "a product of industry" (his folks worked in uranium mines in Grants, across the state), childhood summers with his grandparents gave him a strong connection to Mora. "I used to spend hours out at the Mora River or the pond with my brother. My fondest memory is lassoing suckers." As a teen, after moving permanently to Mora, he went bow-hunting for elk alone in the peaks of the Pecos Wilderness. "That's where I think I got into the naturalist part of me. You'd go up there and you'd build a fire, you'd have to get wood, you'd have to do all the essentials of life."
Olívas built a successful career as a hunting guide and eventually got a master's in environmental science. But he never considered himself an environmentalist, largely because in a state that is one-half Latino, its green movement is overwhelmingly white. In the late '90s, environmental activists often came off as villains in racially charged fights over public-lands grazing and community access to firewood. Some were hanged in effigy at the State Capitol.
That tension has subsided, but Olívas, who joined the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance as a community organizer in 2008, is still often the only Chicano in the room. He serves as a bridge to build support for land-protection efforts, such as the recently designated Río Grande del Norte National Monument, making significant inroads with centuries-old farming and ranching land-grant communities, while fostering deeper respect for the local land ethic among urban, largely white environmental groups. As the father of four, he's proud that "those landscapes will be protected for my grandchildren and their grandchildren."
Where Mora's fracking ban is concerned, the work is just beginning: Four private landowners backed by oil and gas interests sued last November, followed by a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell in January, alleging violation of their constitutional rights. "We knew we were going to get sued," Olívas says, then repeats it with relish. Mora County plans to fight, with help from the Pennsylvania-based Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund and the New Mexico Environmental Law Center. Given opponents' deeper pockets, that could mean five to seven years of wrangling, and the creation of some legal precedents. However it ends, he says, "I definitely think we left our mark on the world." Other communities that have adopted similar measures – Las Vegas, New Mexico, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and more – are watching.
Olívas remains surprisingly calm. "I'm not losing any sleep," he says, finishing his coffee. Still, I sense he'd rather be hunting in the mountains he loves.
The latest EPA emmissions rules, as verfied in the Wyoming Tribune-eagle, has given Wyoming the lowest percentage, 19%, for pollution controls on electric plants. They say that this is because 90% of the electricity produced in Wyoming comes from coal plants and two thirds of that electricity goes out of state.
As electric cars become more common place the need for more electricity will expand. Risky Business, the Bloomberg report, stated that due to global warming raising tempertures more electricity will be needed to produce that energy. They estimated that to meet that need there would have to be the equivalent of 200 coal or natural gas plants built in the next 5 to 25 years.
In Colorado the cities were perfectly happy to use the oil and money from fracking when it was out on the eastern plains. Now that it is moving closer to the cities they are upset. Fort Collins didn't pass the fracking ban. In Greely a fracking company was going to drill close to a school, they were legally far enough from the school to do so, but because of objections from school parents the oil company moved further away on their own.
In Wyoming baseline testing has been required for the fracking companies. We'll see how well that goes.
In the latest American Lung Association five of Wyoming's counties were in the top twenty cleanest air counties in the nation and Cheyenne was the number 2 cleanest air city. Fossil fuel extraction can be done in a responsible way. We get more pollution from the frontrange cities than we produce.
Germany can now produce half its energy from solar
Good news: Germany produced a record 50.6 percent of its energy with solar panels in the first two weeks of June.

New data reveals that Germany broke a record at the start of June by generating half its energy from solar power, demonstrating the country's impressive renewable energy capabilities.
Research from the Fraunhofer ISE research institute showed that German solar panels generated a record 24.24 GW of electricity between 1pm and 2pm on Friday, June 6th. And on Monday June 9th, a public holiday, solar power production peaked at 23.1 GW, which was 50.6 percent of total electricity demand.
Tobias Rothacher, an expert for renewable energies at Germany Trade & Invest, told The Local: "I think we could break a new record every two to three months now. We are installing more and more PVs [solar panels]."
Germany has had success with solar by encouraging citizens to install panels on their roof tops, rather than focussing on building large-scale solar farms. In fact, 90 percent of Germany's solar panels are on individuals' roofs.
Good weather has also helped solar power production this year, which has increased 34 percent in the first part of 2014.
With the current rate of production, Germany will need to invest in more energy storage technology to keep up.
In comparison, Australia has the potential to generate just 1.1 percent of its electrical energy from solar. The United States gets 0.2 percent of its energy from solar, according to 2011 data.

Great Organic Apple Sauce
Posted by NBPT100 on Aug 24, 2013
This is one of the best store bought apple sauce I have tried. It is not too sweet and there are not any added sweeteners or preservatives. This has one ingredient. Organic apples! Eden Foods grow their Organic apples on their own orchards in Michigan. They are OCIA certified. If you liked this review then go to my home page and read more value added reviews on products I have tried. Helpful "YES" votes are appreciated. Peace and good health.

Tastes Perfect! So many other applesauces contain Water and synthetic Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) among the ingredients which I HATE. This brand stays true! And the taste & consistency is perfect! Love it
Posted by Reviewer1417933 on May 28, 2011
This organic apple sauce is naturally sweet and delicious. I love to eat it by the bowl and also use it in baking cakes in place of fatty oils.

We've been having various problems with the printer. People were reporting paper feed errors from about a week ago, but sometimes it appeared to be working. This got confused with two other errors, which was that it wasn't printing from networked computers and that a cartridge needed replacing. On Tuesday I fixed the first problem by plugging it back into its router (the blue cable had been unplugged, hence no printing), and Martin fixed the second by replacing it. Unfortunately on Tuesday Shannon found it reporting feed errors again, and it's been out of action since then. Wasn't sure what to do about that so left a note on the printer explaining. Found it was still out of action today, so asked Scout what to do, and she's phoned Danwood. They're going to try and get someone out today; failing that, tomorrow morning. That's the story!
We should probably have a less chaotic process for reporting and fixing errors, but hey, it's the vibe.

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Asian Spice Rub, recipe follows
- Ginger-Garlic-Chile Glaze, recipe follows
- 1 bunch green onions, grilled
- Flour tortillas, grilled or warmed through
- Asian Spice Rub:
- 2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground star anise
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Heat grill to medium-high. Score the skin-side of the duck with a knife in a lattice pattern, being sure not to cut through to the flesh. Season each breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Rub the skin side of each breast with a few tablespoons of the rub and place on the grill, rub side down, and grill until slightly charred and the skin begins to get crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over, brush with some of the glaze and continue grill to medium-rare doneness, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the duck from the grill and brush with more of the glaze. Let rest for 5 minutes then slice 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal. Place the grilled green onions on a platter and top with the sliced duck breast. Serve with warm tortillas.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook until soft. Add the chili paste and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the honey and soy and cook until just combined and the honey has melted. Let cool before using.

Martin Kelly signs new deal
Liverpool have confirmed defender Martin Kelly has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
- Related Content
The 22-year-old, who is a product of the Liverpool academy, has made seven appearances this season.
His last game came on 23 September last year in the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United, a game in which he suffered a serious knee injury that sidelined him for six months.
"I'm delighted to have signed. It means everything to me and my family. I've been at Liverpool since I was seven, so it's in my heart and I love the club," said Kelly.
"When you play in the Liverpool shirt, you have to show the fans what it means. I just love playing and trying my hardest for the supporters and for my family.
"Being a Liverpool supporter myself, it's brilliant to put the shirt on and I'm doing what I have loved doing since I was a kid. I'm over the moon.
"Today shows the faith that the club have in me and that the hard work I have put in since I was young has paid off. Hopefully I'll put the injuries behind me. We have excellent medical staff here, who are going to work me and keep me on top of my injury. I'll be coming back even stronger."
The day after fellow defender Jamie Carragher announced his retirement at the end of the season, Brendan Rodgers was pleased to see another local lad commit his future to the club.
Rodgers said: "Martin has shown a commitment to our vision here. He is a young player who really impressed me when I came in.
"He was exceptionally good in the games he played earlier in the season."
The club's managing director Ian Ayre said: "It's fantastic news and it runs on from various other players who have committed to us.
"I think everybody has been starting to see and enjoy Martin's potential and the work he has showed to get into the first team and these are the things we are looking for.
"He was very unfortunate to get his injury but he has worked very hard with the physios and the medical team and hopefully we'll see him back soon.
"Signing him up for the long term is very important for us."
Kelly joins the likes of Luis Suarez, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Jonjo Shelvey and Raheem Sterling in agreeing a new deal at Anfield since the arrival of manager Brendan Rodgers.

Toshiba Corp. this week announced the launch of a 64GB embedded NAND flash memory module, the highest capacity yet achieved in the industry. The chip is the flagship device in a new line-up of six embedded NAND flash memory modules that offer full compliance with the latest eMMC standard, and are designed for application in a wide range of digital consumer products, including smartphones, mobile phones, netbooks and digital video cameras.
The new 64GB embedded device combines sixteen 32Gb (4GB) NAND chips fabricated with Toshiba's 32nm process technology, and also integrates a dedicated controller. Toshiba is the first company to succeed in combining sixteen 32Gb NAND chips, and applied advanced chip thinning and layering technologies to realize individual chips that are only 30 micrometers thick. Full compliance with the JEDEC/MMCA V4.4 standard for embedded MultiMediaCards supports standard interfacing and simplified embedding in products, reducing development burdens on product manufacturers.
Toshiba offers a comprehensive line-up of single-package embedded NAND flash memories in densities ranging from 2GB to 64GB. All integrate a controller to manage basic control functions for NAND applications, and are compatible with the latest eMMC standard and its new features, including defining multiple storage areas and enhanced security features.
Samples of the 64GB module are available from today, and mass production will start in the first quarter of 2010.

2 Peter 3
September 7, 2008
Listen using Pop-Up Player
It was a couple of weeks ago that I gave a message on the theology of creation and I told you that I was intending to give you two messages, one on the beginning and another one on the end. The theology, if you will, of creation and the theology of uncreation, a message on the beginning of the universe and then a message on the end of the universe, how it all began and how it will all end. It is God alone who knows how it all began because He alone was there when it was created. It is God alone who knows how it will all end because only God knows the future and not only does God know the future but God determines the future as He has determined the past, is determining the present. And so, in order for us to understand origins, beginnings, and for us to understand endings, for us to understand creation or consummation, we have to turn to the revelation that God has given to us. All we know about creation is what God has told us. And all we know about consummation is all that God has told us. As you know, He has given us an explicit account of the creation of the universe in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. He has also given us explicit accounts of the destruction of this universe. There are a number of passages in which reference is made to the destruction of the universe in which we live, but one of them is most notable and most detailed. It is in the second epistle of Peter chapter 3. So, open your Bible, if you will, to 2 Peter chapter 3 and follow along as I read down through verse 13. Second Peter 3:1 through 13: "This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I'm stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment spoken by the Lord and Savior spoken by Your Apostles. Know this, first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.' For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the Word of God the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by water through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But the present heavens and earth by His Word are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells." And so, in very clear, unmistakable, unambiguous language, the Spirit of God inspires Peter to give us a record of the end of this creation. Now to give you a little bit of a warm up to get to chapter 3, just let me remind you that Peter's epistle is designed to warn about false teachers. In fact, chapter 2 is a general denunciation of false teachers from beginning to end. It is directly parallel to the epistle written by Jude. It says essentially the same thing, the difference being in the tense of the verbs. Peter says the false teachers are coming, and this is what they'll be like. Jude says they're here and this is what they're like. But chapter 2 is a detailed warning concerning false teachers. When you come in to chapter 3 then, Peter addresses one of their favorite areas of attack. That is, they attack the biblical truth that this world, this universe is coming to an end and it will be destroyed by the return of Jesus Christ. What I read you is unmistakably clear, it's unmistakably clear by the way about the beginning. It says that creation came by the Word of God, that He spoke it into existence. And it's also clear about the end, the end will also come by the Word of God. God spoke it into existence. He will speak it out of existence. As I have often said to you, this is a disposable planet. More than that, this is a disposable universe. It has been around for about six thousand years and relative to eternity, it has a very, very short life. This planet is useful to God only for purposes of accomplishing His redemption and then it will cease to exist.

A concrete implementation of Delegator, this class provides the means to delegate all supported method calls to the object passed into the constructor and even to change the object being delegated to at a later time with _setobj_ .
Returns the current object method calls are being delegated to.
# File delegate.rb, line 206 def __getobj__ @_sd_obj end
Changes the delegate object to obj.
It's important to note that this does not cause SimpleDelegator's methods to change. Because of this, you probably only want to change delegation to objects of the same type as the original delegate.
Here's an example of changing the delegation object.
names = SimpleDelegator.new(%w{James Edward Gray II}) puts names[1] # => Edward names.__setobj__(%w{Gavin Sinclair}) puts names[1] # => Sinclair
# File delegate.rb, line 224 def __setobj__(obj) raise ArgumentError, "cannot delegate to self" if self.equal?(obj) @_sd_obj = obj end
Clone support for the object returned by _getobj_.
# File delegate.rb, line 230 def clone new = super new.__setobj__(__getobj__.clone) new end
