I built something similar in shape, but much simpler in design, and it works very well. The plans you posted seem like overkill. I don't know why you would need decking and siding like that. Mine sits next to my garage partly under the overhang of the garage roof. On mine, the logs rest on two upright 2x4's that run the length of the shed and are braced on the ends and in the center. The uprights are 2x4. The roof is a plywood deck on (3) 1x4's attached to 2x4's attached to the uprights and topped with asphalt shingles. I think I used PT lumber for everything except the roof. It's 16' x 6' overall.
Currently I only buy half a face cord of wood (not much more expensive relative to a full facecord) and store it in the trailer. If I didn't have the trailer, I'd likely store it in the garage, or build something similar to what Craig has... or just get a few 2x4s, set the logs up, and throw a cover over them.You can go really basic as well like this: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200444837_200444837?cm_mmc=Google-pla-_-Logging-_-Logging%20Accessories-_-179063&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=179063&gclid=CNnDp76W2rcCFUJlMgodtTsAkQ and just get a tarp to protect from rain.

CBS Kills Animals for Ratings
The real villain here is a fellow named Les Moonves, who runs CBS, and under whose leadership the network has become renowned for soliciting and airing acts of cruelty to animals in an effort to boost ratings. Most people are familiar with the Survivor stunts where the contestants are made to kill animals or drink their blood, but apparently Moonves and CBS felt a need to take the shock factor up just another notch by having kids do the killing, as happened in the latest episode of Kid Nation. Honestly, I hate to call any attention to CBS's new show so they can tag it as "controversial" as a way of getting more viewers, but Moonves needs to hear from people about this latest episode, in which a group of children persuade the other kids on the show to chop off chickens' heads as a way of getting protein in their diet. Many of these kids had grown close to the animals during the show, and some were clearly traumatized by the experience.
Please click here to let Les Moonves know that encouraging kids to kill animals is a new low for him (which is saying something), and that he needs drop these lousy stunts right now, no matter how good they may be for his ratings.

Please stop this type of tv material for our children to watch. Their just kids. DONT SHOW IT ON PRIMETIME TV FOR GODS SAKE. PLEASE

Mars Please stop posting stupid crap where you aren't welcome! And before you go asking for anyone to prove the cruelty sheep suffer under when sheared perhaps you should do some research. http://www.savethesheep.com And get out of here would you??!!
From Wiki Initial reception Ahead of its premiere the show proved to be the most controversial of the upcoming fall 2007 season even though the only actual footage seen was a fourminute promo running on televison and the Web.20 In previewing the series CBS eschewed television critics instead holding screenings at schools in at least seven large cities.21 Variety columnist Brian Lowry wrote that "Kid Nation is only the latest program to use kids as fodder for fun and profit which doesn't make the trend any less disturbing."22 William Coleman a professor of pediatrics at the University of North Carolina argued that the younger children ages 8 to 12 might not be able to deal with the stress yet could be enticed to participate by the potential fame or be pressured to do so by a parent.23 Speaking before an audience of television reviewers producer Tom Forman acknowledged that Kid Nation would inevitably share some elements with William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies which depicted planewrecked children without adult supervision. But adults were present offcamera during the Kid Nation production including cameramen producers a medic and a child psychologist although all interacted with the children as little as possible. Participants also missed a month of school but Forman suggested that such realworld tasks as preparing a group breakfast doing hard physical chores like fetching water and making group decisions constituted an educational experience in its own right. All participants were cleared by a team of psychologists any child could elect to go home and some did.3 Robert Butterworth a child psychologist in Los Angeles wondered if comparable professional care was given after the production had wrapped.23
C. Sorry that I didn't respond earlier. Well on Wiki you get pros and cons like an article on firearms. On the Kid Nation Wiki article I never saw anything pertaining to this. Really all it was was a brief synopsis and list of episodes.
4th attempt to postcomment to Halo Snipe I don't know what you are referring to about wikpedia. Please clarify.
3rd attempt to post comment to Halo Snipe I'm not sure what your referring to in your comment to my last blog. Please clarify.
Second attempt to post Halo Snipe I'm not sure what your comment about wikpedia is referring to? Please clarify.
Halo Snipe I'm not sure what you were referring to in your comment about wikpedia? Can you clarify? Both sides to of what?
Yeah Michele a wonderful world where they raid a lab kill all the workers and save ONE fcking rabbit that is freed and killed and eaten by a fox. Don't believe me search anti PETA and look for more dirt o n PETA. Warning truth may cause confusion and delay!
What about Veggie Survivor? Contestants would have to learn about indigenous veg and how to prepare it ways to make shelters clothing etc. such as weaving and so forth. Makes more sense then the shows they do now. I heard there was a Survivor China. How do the producers expect people to take a show seriously about being 'stranded' in one of the most populous nations on earth anyway?
c Well I haven't heard of it. I searched Wikipedia and now I know what it is. It' s weird it didn't mention this. Wiki always tells both sides.
There are no 5 year olds in Kid Nation.
People need to realize that it is only our ARROGANCE that makes us as human beings think and justify the killingmurder of animals .
2nd attempt to post Mars "What's lost on YOU " is a realizing that there are MINIMAL differences between us and the four legged MAMMALS. You seem to like to twist things and seem to like to argue just to argue.You can't be right all the time . No one can. You grossly missed the pointmessage of what I was saying and you really do need to do research on kidsguns and killing. Hunting is murder whether or not you want to admit it.But it is. Simply put animal is alive person takes weapon person shoots animal. Animal is dead. There's no excuse for it. It's sad that you taught your daughter how to kill things. You say your daughter learned how to read at 3. What books could she read on her own at this age ? I'm a Reading Specialist and I'm curious to know. Oh by the way the parents of some of those kids who went on killing sprees at their schools were shocked when the incidents happened because they thought that their kids knew "the difference between human and animal life" as you put it. You really need some help here. Does anyone else care to comment. Just jump right in!
Animals feel pain and fear in much the same way we do. We share status as "sentient" beings.

Originally Colemore and Priors Dean were two separate parishes but have always been closely associated. They were not united into one parish until 1932. The parish of Colemore, sometimes spelt Colmer, produced some distinguished men in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Rev. John Greaves, rector of Colemore, had three illustrious sons: John was born in 1602 and became a celebrated mathematician, Edward studied medicine and became a physician to Charles I and Thomas followed oriental studies and had a distinguished career at Oxford. A later rector of Colemore, the Rev. Richard Pococke, was the father of the famous explorer, Richard Pococke, whose Eastern Travels were published in the 1740s.
The manor of Colemore was granted to Southwick Priory and confirmed by a charter of King Richard in 1198. At the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 Henry VIII granted the manor first to Anne of Cleves and later to Katherine Howard in 1541. The manor was later held by the Compton family and passed by marriage into the famous Tichborne family.
The parish of Priors Dean is so called because the manor of Dean was included with Colemore in a charter of King John dated 1203, which confirmed the holdings of Southwick Priory. Since this date the two manors have followed the same descent; the old manor house at Priors Dean was once the seat of the Tichborne family, and memorials to members of the Compton and Tichborne families can be seen in Priors Dean church
Further information on attractions to discover in the area and other interesting villages to visit is available. For information on public services for Colemore please take a look at the Alton local pages.

Red Devil Cranberries
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1/4 cup minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon minced serrano pepper
- 1 cup blood orange juice, fresh if possible
- 1/2 cup agave syrup, preferably amber
- 1 (12-ounce) package fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
In a large saucepan, add the oil and saute the shallot and serrano pepper over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add in the blood orange juice, agave syrup, cranberries, chipotle, adobo, cinnamon, and salt. Reduce the heat and simmer until mixture is thick, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Set aside to thicken, thanks to the pectin in the cranberries.
Guy's Tip: If available, try to purchase 1 fresh blood orange and add this to the cranberries. Segment, add the orange flesh to the pot, and squeeze in any remaining juices from the blood orange membrane.
Cook's Note: To segment an orange, remove the top and bottom from the orange over a small bowl (to catch the juices). Peel the orange with a small sharp knife, carefully removing all of the pith. Carefully slice between the segments, down each side, and allow to fall into the bowl as you proceed.

The Southern Ocean Sunfish or Southern Mola (Mola ramsayi) is one of the two generally recognized Mola species as of 2013, although there it appears likely that one or more cryptic species will be recognized in the near future (Yoshita et al. 2009; Pope et al. 2010 and references therein). Much less is known about this species than is known about Mola mola. For more information, see Mola, Mola mola, and the oceansunfish.org website.

If you are relocating, your pets may not take to the sudden change of environment too kindly, but there are ways you can ease the transition for your furry friends. Cats tend to be a bit more resistant to moving to a new home compared to dogs, according to VCA Animal Hospitals, but even canines can have trouble adjusting to new surroundings, especially if there is a variation in routines or new people or pets to whom they must adapt.
When it comes to bringing a dog into a new home, there will likely be little difficulty if there are no new pets or people to get used to. Bringing along toys, food dishes and other familiar items can ease the process even further, VCA reports. If there are new people or pets, introduce them to the dog before the move.
Cats tend to be a bit more wily when they are uprooted, but gradually getting them used to the idea of moving by introducing them to moving boxes and cat carriers can help keep them calm on the big day, according to the ASPCA. Moving can even cause cat illness like stress or anxiety.
Once in the new home, the organization recommends keeping the cat in one room so it can adjust to the new location gradually. Placing treats around the room can encourage him to explore, and introducing him to one room at a time after the initial period can make it easier for the cat to adjust to his new living situation.

Once your puppy is 3-and-a-half to 4 months old, you may notice it is drooling, reluctant to eat or has an increased interest in chewing. This is because the dog is teething, and growing in its set of adult teeth.
This process can be painful for puppies, and you might notice your canine is more irritable than normal because of heightened sensitivity in its mouth. During this time, the dog's adult teeth are growing beneath the surface of the gums, pressing up against the primary teeth until they eventually fall out, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. You can help your puppy through this uncomfortable process by providing it with plenty of chew toys to discourage it from choosing shoes and furniture instead. An ice cube is another good treat your puppy may enjoy chewing because it soothes irritated gums, The Daily Puppy recommends.
While teething is a normal part of raising puppies, owners should also look out for signs of abnormal dental development. Retained dog teeth occur when a primary tooth's roots are not fully resorbed, causing the tooth to stay in place and the adult tooth to grow in at an abnormal position, VCA reports.
Retained teeth usually need to be removed because they can rub against other teeth and wear away the enamel, grow into the roof of the mouth and cause alignment or growth issues with the rest of the teeth and the jaw. They can also lead to dental disease in dogs because they increase the likelihood food and debris will get trapped in the teeth.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great Event ruined by the organisersIn full: The event as a marathon is fantastic in its location and scenery. Challenging, the hill at mile 23 into Egleton is a heartbreaker. Event the awful weather didn't detract from the wonderful setting.However, organisation on the day was sloppy and not very welcoming, goody bag was pointless, technical vest has gone in the charity bag and a Certificate instead of a medal was an insult.Not one of Fat Feet's finest days, especially as they have not responded to any e-mails regarding issues with the race. I will avoid their events in future.Date of review: November 15, 2012
In short: Nice try, could be a great race....In full: All has been said before, start was a shambles as was getting out of the car park.However, was a great race and will become a part of my annual race calender. Nice to see a race in northampton, I think with some good organisation this could be a fantastic race.Medal was quite nice as well!!!Date of review: October 4, 2009
In short: Was harder going than I expected from a pretty flat race, the bridges and locks take it out of you...Date of review: July 5, 2009
In short: Wow, that blew away the cobwebs!!!!!In full: It's been said several times already, and will be said again, but "WAS THAT WINDY OR WHAT??????". My first 1/2 marathon since GNR07 and 1:45 felt great. Let's just not invite the wind next year hey guys!!!!Date of review: March 9, 2009

The Best Take Yet on Pandora's Decision to Buy an FM Station
I study each move closely so, with each day, I know the story better than the back of my hand. But, let's face it, I can't dig too much into the minutia of the legal posturing between Pandora and ASCAP or Pandora and BMI or the ins and outs of The Internet Radio Fairness Act or The Copyright Royalty Board for fear of putting my enormous (snark, snark) audience to sleep.
Plus, why should we ( me and you ) have to concern ourselves with this inane fight? It's the type of pissing contest that deserves about as much attention as contract negotiations between a sports franchise and their superstar holdout. Sports fan just want to watch sports. And music fans just want to experience, see, listen to and interact with music and musicians.
That experience would be a heck of a lot richer if sanity would prevail throughout the music industry, Internet radio, broadcast radio and SiriusXM
Folks on both sides of the issue will call my one-size-fits-all solution to the royalty mess "too simple" or "not possible," but that's just another way of saying we do not have the will or we're too afraid of what real change might look like . Which is just code for we can't swallow our pride, set aside our egos and work together for the better of the industry at the expense of our perceived self-interest.
But that aside, what will all of these disparate lawsuits accomplish other than making an already confusing situation even more scattered and chaotic?
One thing is certain -- the system is busted.
In the best explanation we have seen yet for Why Internet Radio Royalties Led Pandora to Buy an FM Radio Station , Jodie Griffin of Public Knowledge first draws the distinction between the two types of royalties so many are obsessing over:
The real reason for Pandora's purchase of an FM radio station is Pandora's royalty rate for musical compositions on its internet radio service. Note: this is a separate legal issue from the licensing Pandora pays for its use of sound recordings. The underlying musical composition gets its own copyright, and must be licensed in addition to the sound recording rights.
It's important to point that out from time to time, the distinction between the two different types of royalties. Just like it's important to articulate the difference between the compulsory rate Pandora chooses to pay for the use of sound recordings vs. the direct licensing deals services such as Spotify go with.
I mean I was arguing with a guy the other day who actually publishes articles on this topic and it became clear he had no clue whatsoever as it pertains to these important nuances. A basic understanding of facts you really have to have before getting into the opinion business.

As parents, we strive to instill respect and obedience in our children—and rightly so. That's part of our responsibility. We take pride in training them to sit quietly, listen carefully, speak graciously and obey promptly. And that's what much of the Christian parenting literature aims at—socially acceptable and morally commendable behavior. Trophy kids.
Sometimes, we're tempted to think that's the ultimate goal of parenting—controlling our children's behavior. But is it? John MacArthur wants to sound a warning: parents who concentrate all of their efforts on controlling their child's behavior take a considerable risk.
God's goal for parenting is much loftier than mere behavior reformation. He wants our children's hearts, and our goals as parents must reflect His. Here's John MacArthur to explain the ultimate goal of parenting . . .
Listen to this 7-minute clip:

Listen to John's sermon excerpt, then take these questions to the comment thread:
(1) Discuss the dangers of parenting for behavior modification only, rather than aiming at the heart.
(2) How do you see God model the kind of parenting He calls us to in Ephesians 6:4? Be specific.

Is sending a bad kid to boot camp necessary? Letting someone else to discipline the kid. It's something that prevents them from trying and it's that they don't have Christ in their hearts. I read in scripture that said if one discipline a child in public, the child will hate. If one discipline a child in private, the child would love.
Is this what #1 question meant.
God bless

1. Concerning behavior modification, if the inward man(the heart) never changes, then the outward will only be false. For example, there is the child who does everything right, but only because of fear that he/she will get in trouble. That can also easily lead the child to think that he or she could be saved when in reality, the child may not be. That is a danger in parenting. We as parents mustn't discipline our children just for the sake of changing their behavior, or just because we don't like what they did. We must get to the heart of the issue with our children. And that is, if our children disobey, that brings dishonor to God, it does not bring Him glory. And like MacArthur said, the heart of the issue is our corrupt nature. We have a nature bent towards sin, so we must explain to our children that, if they are saved, they ought to obey because they love God and that it grieves God when they sin, or if they are not saved, that they are in need of a savior. Those are the heart issues that frankly, I don't see many parents present to their children nowadays.
2. Eph. 6:4 says to bring up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord as well as not provoking our children. God models these in that when we do something wrong, first, he does not provoke us by letting us get away with what we did. The Bible says that there are consequences for every sin. Some may think that they got away with something, but in reality, God may be allowing that person to live with personal consequences, such as guilt once they come to a realization, "That was wrong". There are numerous examples of the Lord's discipline in the Bible. The Israelites for one always went into captivity once they turned from their God.
Second, God brings us up in the discipline and instruction of His Word. Heb. 12 says that God disciplines those whom are His sons and in v. 11 says that in the end it will yield righteousness.

On March 25-26, 2013, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan, where he met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other officials to discuss a number of issues of mutual interest.
"Today, Afghanistan is managing three very significant transitions: a security transition, a political transition, and an economic transition," Secretary Kerry remarked in a joint press availability with President Karzai. "And America will continue to support the Afghan people through all three of these transitions just as we agreed to do in the strategic partnership agreement and in the bilateral security agreement that we are currently negotiating. We also support the Afghan-led peace process, the reconciliation--recognizing that the reconciliation is the best way to try to provide the surest end to violence and to secure a unified and a sovereign Afghanistan."
While in Kabul, Secretary Kerry also met with women entrepreneurs and toured a showcase of local businesses. Along with U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham and Senior Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan David Pierce, Secretary Kerry participated in a roundtable discussion with Afghan stakeholders ahead of the elections scheduled for next year. You can view photographs of the Secretary's visit to Afghanistan on Flickr, and read more about his travel on www.state.gov.
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
Ever since the Russians tried invading Afghanistan, United States has placed a duty and responsibility to protect this country. I believe its about time the Afghan people take care of their own country. The amount of tax dollars spent on this rock is crazy. It's a losing battle because Pakistan continues to train Taliban members. Until Pakistan ends training and supporting terrorist in the tribal areas its like fighting against the currents. We have bigger concerns with North Korea/China and Iran to worry about. Its time our troops return home safe. The real question is, did the United States get what it paid for in Afghanistan? I seriously doubt it, other than the loss of American lives for a country that needs to function on its own. I think we all know by now the real reason the United States has an interest in Afghanistan, with the herion market and weapons being sold. In closing, has it really been worth the loss of American lives? I don't think so...What should happen is our troops come home.

Paule Brunelle Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to know what my colleague thinks about the following. In Donnacona, I had the opportunity to attend a demonstration held by employees who were worried their plant would shut down. That plant is now closed. In Shawinigan, I also met with workers where 530 jobs had been lost.
Because of these job losses and beyond just the numbers, we are seeing families, women, children and communities that are falling apart. I see it in my riding, in Trois-Rivières. The paper mills are also experiencing difficulties. I would like to ask my colleague whether the Conservative members from Quebec are insensitive, or whether they are not acting because the caucus is dominated by western Canada and by right-wing values that we do not share?

Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague raises an important point. In my opinion, this is merely a question of right-wing ideology. For anyone who belongs to that party or subscribes to that ideology, there is no point in having good intentions. We saw the hon. member for Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean who had promised to save everyone in the forestry industry, but voted to force them into poverty. He voted against both motions we presented last fall to introduce a program and revitalize the forestry industry.
The other Conservative members from Quebec also voted against those motions. Yet they are all grappling with the problems described by my colleague. It is not unique to her area, where the workers are being equally hard hit by plant closures. My hon. colleague from Richmond—Arthabaska, whom I referred to earlier, must also deal with the closure of the Jeffrey mine, which will mean laying off another 200 workers or more in July.
We could go from one riding to the next, including ridings such as Louis-Hébert and Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, for instance. It is shameful. In that riding, people can no longer even go see their MP. He ran off. People call me and want me to go meet with them, which I did last year. I am going to return there. Their MP is running away from them. He is hiding because he cannot defend the positions that he votes for here. It is completely shameful and does not represent the will of his constituents.

André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my hon. colleague for his eloquence and, more importantly, for the passion and heart he has put into this issue, which is obviously a much more emotional one than some others.
He mentioned our visit to Mégantic—L'Érable to meet with workers from the areas of Plessisville and l'Érable. He described what happened at that meeting requested by these men and women, particularly the women who used to work in the textile industry, because the member for Mégantic—L'Érable was refusing to meet with them a second time. In a previous meeting, he tried to explain his government's position but, beyond that, he wanted nothing more to do with these women. That was it; they had become unimportant, useless to borrow a word he uses all the time. It is totally unacceptable for a duly elected MP to behave like that.
In my constituency office, I deal with the concerns of people from that member's riding, who is part of the cabinet in a way, in his capacity as secretary of state. He is a pseudo-minister. That is pretty outrageous. I would like my colleague to tell us what makes the representations and demands of these people useless, to use the word of the member for Mégantic—L'Érable.

Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, whenever these people came to us, we did our best to represent them here and to try to change things for the better. Perhaps I can talk about this some other time.
The question is a very relevant one. To say that these situations are useless and insignificant is to refuse to assume one's responsibilities, when in fact our primary responsibility as MPs is to ensure that there are measures to support these people, particularly the most vulnerable ones, when they are faced with a problem.
We talked about the plight of older workers, but the same goes for older people who qualify for the guaranteed income supplement. They were deprived of $3.3 billion. This budget still does not even recognize that the government owes that money to these people. The government still owes guaranteed income supplement benefits to 43,000 Quebeckers. The government is depriving them of that money. That is truly scandalous. It is the same thing with the misappropriation of the employment insurance fund. We are talking about $54 billion. That money belongs to the unemployed.

Lawrence Cannon Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my speaking time with my colleague, the hon. member for Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission.
At lunchtime today, I had the privilege of addressing the Outaouais chamber of commerce to outline the government's budget plan and principles. As we know, most businesspeople experience the daily reality not only of the constraints and obligations imposed by corporate budgets but also the possibilities created by such budgets.
Of course, the Canadian government's budget is much more complex than that of the companies and institutions whose representatives I met at this luncheon today. Nevertheless, the budget unveiled by the Minister of Finance last week and the budgets that our businesspeople and family heads may be preparing have something fundamental in common: when the goal is fuzzy, the means to achieve this goal cannot be efficient. In other words, both in the House of Commons and in the chamber of commerce, a clear vision and a specific plan are required. Above all, courage and determination to follow through are necessary, even when the times are hard, and especially when they are.
From the three budgets we have brought down since we took office, it is clear that our government is following a specific course based on sound principles.
The first principle is the following: Canadians are overtaxed, and Canada's debt load is too high. From its inception, the Conservative Party has voiced that conviction. Now that we are in government, we are taking decisive action to reduce the tax burden of all Canadians and pay down the national debt.
The steps our government has taken to date will produce $200 billion in tax relief this year and over the next five years, $140 billion of which will be for individuals. Never in the past 50 years has this country seen a lower tax rate.
In addition, taxes will continue to decline, thanks to our tax-back guarantee. So, as we pay down the federal debt, interest savings are being returned to Canadians in tax relief. Because are reducing the federal debt by more than $37 billion, including $10.2 billion this fiscal year, personal income tax reductions provided under the tax-back guarantee will amount to $2 billion.
We have reduced consumption taxes, income tax, corporate taxes, excise taxes and even taxes on savings through our new tax-free savings account.
The tax-free savings account is the single most important personal savings vehicle since the introduction of the RRSP in 1957. It is the first account of its kind in Canadian history. It is a flexible, registered, general purpose account that will allow Canadians to watch their savings grow tax-free.
These measures will result in a rather significant improvement of the financial situation of all Canadians. And we are not stopping there. Over the coming years, our government will continue to reduce taxes and to repay the debt.
Our government also believes that we, as individuals, businesses and public administration, must live within our means. That is why we are currently conducting a thorough review of the expenditures of every federal department. That program review is also designed to improve the services provided to the public, and to ensure that these services reflect the priorities of Canadians.
We have reformed the employment insurance program so that it will adequately fulfill the role for which it was created. From now on, any surplus will be used to reduce EI premiums, and not to help out the government.
Here is another Conservative principle: initiative and effort are the best instruments to ensure the economic progress of society, and the financial security of individuals and families. Without private businesses and individual responsibilities, we simply cannot support a strong and sustainable economy. The government wants to ensure that Canada is a country of choice to launch a business and to make it grow.
Reducing our overall tax burden at the federal level is providing a terrific shot of adrenalin for the national economy. Actions taken by the government since 2006 are providing $21 billion in incremental tax relief to Canadians and Canadian businesses this year. This is a significant and substantial economic stimulus equivalent to 1.4% of Canada's GDP. As a share of the economy, this is significantly greater than the stimulus package offered by our American neighbours.
Given the increasingly stiffer international competition, we must take measures to encourage investments and to increase our competitive advantage.
Some may know the old joke, "How do you start a small business in Canada?"; the answer being, "Start with a big one and just wait".
We are experiencing the opposite. And the best way to ensure that our businesses can maintain their viability, expand and conquer new markets is to relieve them of excessive taxes and regulations. That is why we abolished the federal tax on capital—

Pierre Lemieux Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government works hard for official language minority communities and we are taking concrete action to ensure the vitality of French and English in Canada.
In the last throne speech, we undertook to propose a new strategy for implementing the next phase of the action plan for official languages.
The Prime Minister and the minister of Official Languages announced last December the appointment of Bernard Lord as special adviser for consultations on linguistic duality and official languages. In the 2008 budget, our government reaffirmed this commitment.
I am pleased to announce to this House that the report on the Government of Canada's consultations on linguistic duality and official languages has been submitted to the minister.
This report and the consultations that took place will shape the development of the next phase of the action plan for official languages.
International Mother Language Day

Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, February 24, I joined members of my community to raise funds for a monument in Toronto commemorating International Mother Language Day. UNESCO declared February 21 of each year International Mother Language Day. It is meant to represent the solidarity among languages and multiculturalism.
The monument will be a symbol of the 325 major languages, through which more than six billion people engage in dialogue, inspiring tolerance and understanding while helping to preserve culture, heritage and diversity. Toronto, a city which is one of the most multicultural in the world, will now join only Tokyo and Sydney in commemorating both the diversity and solidarity that language creates with an International Mother Language Day monument.
As the chair of the Canada-Bangladesh Parliamentary Friendship Group, I am proud to represent this initiative which was inspired by the language movement day that took place on February 21, 1952 in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. This initiative is embraced fully by the Bangladesh community in my riding of Beaches—East York. The monument has been designed by a local Bangladeshi Canadian architect, Nazmul Jaigirdar.
I applaud the International Mother Language Day monument committee for this initiative and symbol of diversity and togetherness.

Mr. Speaker, a Matane business, Concept Mat, was recently awarded two prizes at the Trophées Innovation 2007 gala in Montreal.
Concept Mat earned accolades in two of the five categories, specifically, "innovative product or technology—residential" and "innovative product or technology—sustainable development".
The company broke new ground by creating environmentally friendly walls made of soya vegetable oil and recycled plastic. Expanded with water, these walls are air tight, have superior soundproofing qualities and are even recyclable.
The eco-concept walls are mildew resistant, emit no harmful substances for the ozone layer and have the advantage of being fire retardant.
This business from my riding is a good example not only of ecological innovation, but also of sustainable development.

Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the budget that the Conservatives introduced last week does nothing to help the 10,000 people in the forestry industry in B.C. who have lost their jobs in the last year.
Communities across my riding, such as, Fort St. James, Burns Lake, Houston, Smithers, the Hazeltons and Terrace have all lost because of the government's sellout in the softwood lumber negotiations. Add to that the pine beetle devastation and what we have is a perfect storm.
Tonight, when the Liberals help the government pass this bad budget and give nothing more than help to their Conservative buddies in the oil sands and across industries that do not need the help, resource communities across this country will suffer. That is why I will not be supporting this budget.
On behalf of the people who sent me here, I cannot support a budget that does nothing to meet the needs of people in northwestern British Columbia.
Tackling Violent Crime Act
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Rob Anders Calgary West, AB
Mr. Speaker, how many times have we seen a violent criminal get off with a light sentence only to reoffend? How many times have we watched repeat offenders prey upon our communities?
This past Thursday, Bill C-2, the tackling violent crime act, received royal assent. This legislation makes changes to Canada's Criminal Code that will protect Canadians against those who commit serious and violent crimes. It was finally passed after being delayed by the Liberal dominated Senate for three months.
The Liberals attempted to water it down. They could not resist coddling the criminals. Their supporters, the defence lawyers, thought that ambiguity in law would mean more billable hours. Liberals do not want a streamlined judicial system.
Canadian families need real protection against serial criminals. The new law strengthens the Criminal Code by bringing in tougher mandatory jail times as well as better defence from adult sexual predators by increasing the age of protection from 14 years to 16 years.
Canada's government has made streets safer for the public and life harder for criminals.

Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Mr. Speaker, on Friday I had the honour to attend a very moving ceremony at Rideau Hall where Her Excellency the Governor General presented decorations of bravery.
Among the 41 heroes honoured was Wayne Russell of Williams Harbour, Labrador. On January 2, 2006, Wayne rescued a fellow snowmobiler who had broken through the ice just a short distance from the small isolated community, which by the way is my hometown. He raced to the scene on his own snow machine, broke through the ice and nearly ended up in the water himself. He was able to get close enough to throw a rope to the victim and secure him until a boat could bring both of them to safety.
For his selfless courage, Wayne was awarded the Medal of Bravery.
I congratulate him and the other recipients of the decorations for bravery. They are an example to us all of how the worst of circumstances can bring out the best of our humanity.

Luc Harvey Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, over the past few weeks, I have repeatedly asked members of the Bloc Québécois to talk about their record here in the House. The reality is that the members of the Bloc Québécois simply raise their voices to mask their powerlessness.
The Bloc is all talk and no real, concrete action for families, workers and seniors.
I cannot help but conclude that the Bloc Québécois record in 18 years is lighter than a blank sheet of paper. In fact, the Bloc Québécois could carry on for another 118 years and never advance a single major issue, resolve a single problem or pass a single bill. The only thing gaining ground with the Bloc members—and everyone knows it—is their pension.
I am proud to be a Quebecker who can take action within a government that delivers the goods for Quebec families and workers.
I invite the Bloc members to listen to their supporters and pack up. Now there is a party that is not limited to defending their interests, but can take action in their best interests.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my gratitude and admiration for a woman from Ivujivik, a small village in northern Quebec, who received a Medal of Bravery for risking her life to save the lives of children in her village.
In February 2006, Lydia Angiyou confronted a polar bear to protect her son and his friends. When she saw the bear approaching the children, Ms. Angiyou ran towards it. In an attempt to scare it away, she yelled and kicked at it, but the bear swatted her back in the face. Alerted by one of the children, a neighbour rushed to the scene, armed with a rifle. Seeing Ms. Angiyou wrestling with the bear, he fired a few warning shots. The sound diverted the bear's attention from Ms. Angiyou just long enough for the man to fire again and neutralize the animal.
Once again, I have nothing but admiration for the courage shown by Lydia Angiyou.

Bradley Trost Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, February 26, the House of Commons witnessed a third straight budget that provides lower taxes, less debt and continued emphasis on individual Canadians' needs and goals.
This is in sharp contrast to the Liberals' demand to raise the GST, the NDP's call to spend, spend and spend some more. We cannot forget the Bloc Québécois members, who whine because, unlike Conservative MPs, they cannot deliver for their constituents.
Conservatives have worked to put individuals ahead of bureaucracy. In this budget we chose to emphasize a savings plan to allow Canadians to put $5,000 each year in investments out of the reach of big government forever. It is a measure that will give Canadians more freedom to control their destiny, a plan that stops the taxman from taking what rightfully belongs to the people of Canada.
The GST is down. Income taxes are down. The debt is down. While the opposition may not like these changes, this is good news for Canadians because it means that in the end, Canadians' take home is up.

DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Click here to see how it's made.
Tomato Sauce: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, salt, and red pepper flakes; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the flavors are blended and the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the basil.
Chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Sprinkle the cutlets with the salt. Lightly beat the egg whites in a medium bowl. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan on a sheet of waxed paper. Spread the flour on another sheet of waxed paper. Working with 1 piece of chicken at a time, dip both sides into the flour, shaking off excess. Dip each piece into the egg whites, shaking off excess, and then press both sides into the breading to coat.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (in batches, if necessary) and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken, in 1 layer, to the baking dish. Spoon the sauce over the chicken then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Topic: Integrating ruby/rails with WAMP?
Has anyone successfully integrated ruby/rails with WAMP Server? I already have it installed and in use for testing php/mysql development, so I was wondering if there was an easy way to integrate ruby and ruby on rails into it. The version I'm using is running Apache/2.0.58
I could always set up RoR seperate via Vin's tutorial, but I'd like to tie it in with what I already have if I could.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (458 votes).
In short: hills and hoodieIn full: The best marshalls ever! The hills were quite tough but it was a very pretty place to run. More toilets at the start would definitely be appreciated as there were very long queues. The marshalls were fantastic and I now have another Oakley hoodie to wear all year. Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Hilly, challenging course but great atmosphere and excellent for marathon trainingIn full: First time at Oakley and it didn't disappoint. Not so good points: busy at the start - long queues for toilets and baggage and most of the parking was over half a mile away and not particuarly organised, not really a pb course because of the constantly varying terrain.Good points: lovely countryside, fantastic marshalling (and lots of them), really good atmosphere full of friendly runners, challenging so good marathon prep. I was pretty much destroyed at the end but had a really good day out overall!Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Great Marshalling and organisation (even the weather)Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: tough hilly raceIn full: I enjoyed this race but it is hard and suprisingly hilly. I'm a slow runner (beaten by a banana) but unlike other race you don't feel that organisers are right behind you taking the mile markers as you pass! The marshalls were brilliant throughout and its a very run race.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Good race, marshalled well, Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: excellent, challenging but not too challengingIn full: this was my second time and my only complaints were there could have been more toilets, and the drinks on course was from cups, so difficult to drink and run at the same time, bottles would be preferable. On the plus side, lovely hoodie, fantastic marshalls, so encouraging. I smashed 10 mins off my last time so very happy.In answer to Paulrunner, the different colour hoodies are from other years, grey for 2010, navy for 2009Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: good training for marathon, hill,y not undulating, hoodie topIn full: good training for everyone doing the VLM and others in the next month or two. good selection of sizes for hoodie and good to pick up before race. why did one person have a completely different colour hoodie to the rest of us? clearly not the first female runner in. very busy in corridor and couldnt work out what queue was for the baggage and what queue was for the toilet. packed in the main hall, not many chairs to cater for majority of runners. plenty of tables for massage anddidnt clog up any areas. majority of supporters cheering runners on, it was noticed that a couple deliberatly turned their heads when runners came by (question, you should support all runners as it doesnt look professional and this inturn could give your club a bad name). didnt know it was gun to chip until the start, could we be told in future so that those of us who need to can move to the front? water stations well stocked, jelly babies at 2 places excellent. good Fetch pants. a good range of runners. scenic run except the estate and not keen on a field finish, thought it was a road race. pick up of baggage was quick and handlers very friendly. thanks to race director, set up people and the supportive faces that stood around for hours cherring us on! Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: pretty....toughIn full: seemed well organised about collecting chips/hoodies and thank you for doing extra small ones!!!well marshalled and pretty course.No killer hills but LOADS of minor ones.pyschologically tough to pass the school twice before finishing!I got a pb but only because I have never done a 20 mile race before!Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: A great race.In full: Just wanted to pick out the marshals for special praise: some of the best marshalling I have seen, not just in terms of encouragement and support but handling some tricky traffic crossings efficiently and confidently. Thanks to each and every one of you - much appreciated.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Another excellant year for the famous Oakley twenty.In full: Year after year this event is a must do in your marathon build up calendar, it has everything you need and is superbly organised, lovely scenic course with a few undulations thrown in to keep it interesting, see you next year.Date of review: March 27, 2011

Two influential Microsoft Corp.'s employees have revealed that Xbox One pre-orders have sold out across the U.S. and that they are also well ahead of pre-orders on Xbox 360 during the same period. It looks like the Xbox One is going to be a success at launch, at least from Microsoft's point of view. Unfortunately, the execs did not reveal any particular numbers.
"Just found out Xbox One pre-orders are trending ahead of Xbox 360 pre-orders during the same time period [and are] sold out at most U.S. retailers," said Larry Hryb, Xbox's director of programming for Xbox Live, in a Twitter post.
While Microsoft Xbox 360 was the first current-generation console launched in 2005, a year ahead of Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, it inherited the rather poor reputation of the original Xbox, hence early interest towards the console was limited. Moreover, back in 2005 online pre-orders were not as popular as they are now, therefore it was easy for Xbox One to get significantly ahead of its predecessor on the Internet.
A similar tweet has been published by Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft's chief of staff for devices and studios.
"Xbox One pre-orders are already sold out at most major U.S. retailers, also trending above [Xbox] 360 historical levels," Mr. Greenberg wrote.
Without giving exact number of game Xbox One consoles pre-ordered, Microsoft updated the interested parties, which includes gamers, analysts, investors, game developers and others, that the demand for the upcoming system is healthy. Nonetheless, the intrigue remains whether Microsoft Xbox One will be more successful than Sony PlayStation 4 at launch and which of the companies will be able to ship more units in the first month of availability.
Microsoft Xbox One is based on AMD Fusion custom-designed system-on-chip with eight x86 low-power/low-cost Jaguar cores, AMD Radeon HD graphics with GCN architecture (with 32MB ESRAM/EDRAM buffer) as well as 8GB of DDR3 system memory. The console features 500GB hard disk drive, Blu-ray disc drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet, output of video with up to 4K resolution (3840*2160) using HDMI 1.4 as well as 7.1-channel audio. The new Xbox One comes with completely redesigned Kinect sensor that will feature 1920*1080 RGB camera, improved infrared sensor and enhanced voice controls. The console sports a number of functions, e.g. TV-cable pass-through that will seamlessly integrate it into the living room.
The Xbox One launch bundle will be available for $499.99 in the U.S., £429 in the U.K. and €499 in European markets. The console will be released in 21 markets around the world in November 2013.

Netflix's Stock Spikes, But Will the Company Even Exist In 2016?
Remember last year when the stock rode on a magic carpet to -- what was it? -- $304 a share. And then it crashed. Twice. (It's now at around $84.)
Pre-implosion. During the implosion. Post-implosion. Nothing changes. Investors react to Netflix news announcements like they're drunk. Or in the middle of a coke binge with a 1980s big-hair band. Any reason to party. They take it and drive it like they stole it for a couple hours, maybe a couple of sessions, until buyers bail and suckers are left holding the bag, waiting for their next hit.
The news: Netflix and Disney (DIS) cut a major deal that gives Netflix access to some key content immediately and in 2013 as well as a lot of premium content in 2016. And the stock is up more than 10% today.
Here are the particulars along with their importance:
In what the two companies call a separate deal, Netflix receives access to Disney classic movies, such as Alice in Wonderland and Dumbo.
What does it mean? This should make you somewhat bullish. Not bullish enough to bid Netflix's stock up by double-digits, but bullish nevertheless.
Kids TV continues as one of Netflix's strengths. Some analysts blame Netflix, which airs reruns of key Nickelodeon shows, for Viacom's (VIAB) ratings woes. Up until this deal, Netflix didn't have many key Disney classics; in fact, it ran some pretty bad knock-offs in lieu of the real thing. So this is a big deal for Netflix.
In 2013, Netflix receives "high-profile Disney direct-to-video new releases."
What does it mean? Don't know. Need some examples of what we should expect this content to be. In any event, it's likely not as big as the classics or the other key part of the pact ...
Netflix becomes "the exclusive U.S. television subscription service for first-run live-action and animated feature films from The Walt Disney Studios," beginning with 2016 releases.
What does it mean? In and of itself, this is major news.
Starz has the Disney movie deal through 2015. Come 2016, Netflix gets first crack to air movies roughly six to seven months after they leave the big screen. This has never happened before with Netflix -- it lands an exclusive deal for first-run material, beating out traditional outlets such as Starz and Time Warner's (TWX) HBO.
But consider this within the context of Netflix.
Since early 2011, I have warned about Netflix's debt load. It pays a ton of money for content -- as of its last quarterly report , the company reports about $5 billion in off-balance sheet obligations, including roughly $2 billion due within a year.

The garden club meets this very night, June 10th. Take a break from the heat.Posted Friday, June 10, 2011, at 6:46 AM
Surely you have enjoyed enough of this heat to enjoy a "refrigerated air" break at our Weed'em & Reap meeting.
We will probably go to the once a month format for the rest of the summer, so don't let one meeting slide by. I say probably because we are not big on rules and regulations so things could change at any one meeting.
Oh, in case your don't know where, it is at the New Century Chinese Restaurant in Shelbyville. We start at 7:00.

Steve, I enjoyed the meeting very much. And now Im going out to plant my free dumpling squash.

It was nice to finally meet you Cherokee!
And now I'm going out to plant my free Egyptian Onions...

Well, there you go, it was a successful meeting and we appreciate all who showed up and the freebies.
I have a little research to do with that plant you brought in. I'll let you know when I succeed or fail.
Remember I said things could change? We had so much fin last night that no one wanted to shift to monthly yet, sooo, we meet in two weeks.

The meeting was very enjoyable. I'm passing on some of the walking onions Cherokee brought and also dividing the peace lily I received from another.

Novice gardener with a question. My tomato's are trying to rot on the vine, from the bottom of the tomato. The plants look healthy and so do my tomato's as a whole. What do I need to do to keep them from doing this?
-- Posted by Sharon22 on Fri, Jun 17, 2011, at 1:18 PM
My first thought is blossom end rot which is usually a calcium deficiency but why it is not getting calcium could be another issue.
Look at this article, confirm if the picture is similar to what you are experiencing and check the solutions. http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/450/450-703/450-7...
It is probably affect more than just you so I will start a new blog on it to see if others want to contribute.

Ann H. Gabhart
Ann H. Gabhart
I'm a country girl, born and raised on a farm in the Outer Bluegrass region of Kentucky. I know you're thinking horse farm, but no, not out my way. Mostly cows on the farms around here. My grandfather did have a big old workhorse when I was a little girl. My family grew tobacco and corn. We had a few milk cows, some hogs and sheep, but mostly beef cattle. I grew up working on the farm and enjoying the woods and animals. My roots grow deep in the land, and I now live on a farm just a mile away from the farmhouse where I was born and raised.
I started writing when I was ten and have been writing ever since. My first published writing (personal experience pieces, youth stories, and poems) was in church periodicals such as HomeLife. My first novel, A Forbidden Yearning, was published by Warner Books in 1978 and was a historical romance about the settling of Kentucky. Since then I've published twenty novels for adults and young adults. All but my latest books are out of print now, but some of the other titles are still floating around out there in used bookstores or on Internet sites.

I tried the strawberry jam, which I was crazy for, so I bought this one too. It is, like the other, really high quality- made with fresh and organic ingredients, but this one wasn't for my palette so much as the strawberry one. I think I tasted more blueberry and cranberry than anything- which is yummy, but not my favorite. Wonderful company though, and delicious spreads!
