Matthew Dubé Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question and comments. Thanks to him, I am going to put off the members of this House even more with the term "reasonable".
As my colleague from St. John's East said earlier today in his speech, when we want to make changes to the Criminal Code, one of the challenges we face is this idea that once the law has been changed, we cannot refer to the jurisprudence to the same extent. That is a risk. It is for that reason that this word can be very specific in certain contexts and very broad in others. It is our responsibility, as parliamentarians, to ensure that the legislation is flexible enough for the legal sense of the word to be clearly understood.
As for the sections that my colleague quoted, there is a slight imbalance in some cases. We could be more specific about some things and broaden certain provisions. That is the sort of work we hope to do in committee. We could really fine-tune this aspect by hearing from experts, which we all seem to want to do.

Anne-Marie Day Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, this morning, a member across the floor talked about the importance of ensuring that the police are not available to respond. So people have to know that the police cannot respond before they defend their property. Although I am no expert in law—nor is my colleague—does he really believe that it is realistic and feasible to do this when something happens?

Matthew Dubé Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for the question. That is the kind of issue we need to examine in the legislative process. There are so many factors to consider. Each case must be looked at individually, because the needs vary.
Like other members here, I talked about the police's ability to respond in my speech. That must be taken into account, because it will have an impact on what people decide to do. Knowing that help is not coming right away could push them to act, as in the well-documented case of Mr. Chen. However, knowing that help is on the way soon might prevent people from doing anything, even in a case where it might have been better to act. No one can know. In situations like that, adrenalin takes over. It would be really hard to come up with a perfect law that takes all these factors into account.
Our responsibility is to come up with the best thing to do in order to give the best possible tools to ordinary Canadians, to police officers and to judges so that they can deal with these situations. After that, whatever happens happens. Things will never be perfect. These situations are often dangerous, but we can at least try to come up with a compromise that will be acceptable to all communities and everyone involved.

Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, I agree with the comment by the member for Kitchener—Conestoga. I think his point is this is a bill that he would like to ultimately see passed, even if there is a need to make some changes, and the government is open to some changes at committee. That is the reason why we want to listen to what people might have to say on this. Those are the types of encouraging words that members of the opposition like to hear for the simple reason that if the government is true to those sentiments, it means we have the opportunity to improve the legislation if it is deemed necessary.
We have some concerns with the legislation, but we are very supportive of the principle of it. We talk about individual cases. One member talked about a snow blower that disappeared out of a garage. Another member made reference to golf clubs. True to form, I have had two bicycles disappear from my garage over the years. There are many different crimes and some are less severe. Having a bicycle disappear is disappointing and disheartening. We feel violated in the sense that someone has walked into our garage in broad daylight and has taken our property.
An individual who works for me, Henry Celones, is a wonderful man. He just turned 70 and he does a lot of walking. One day early in the morning he was walking around the area of Sheppard Street and Jefferson Avenue when he was approached by two larger individuals. Now Henry is a small guy. He is no bigger than I am. These two people told him to hand over money or cigarettes and he felt quite intimidated by this. One of them started to reach toward him. It is amazing how Henry was able to respond and defend himself. Both men in their late twenties or early thirties were tall, but they were literally taken to the ground by Henry. We shared the story with a few others who said, "Good for Henry, he did the right thing by defending himself". There are those different types of extremes where some crimes are petty, but other things could be life threatening. People respond in different ways.
We have talked about a store that is robbed, then a period of time elapses and the individual comes back. This is a person's livelihood. Should people not have the right to protect their property? The vast majority of Canadians would say absolutely, that people have the right to protect their property and livelihood. I do not think anyone would question that right.
There are issues related to what is reasonable and what is not reasonable. We have to look at situations on their individual merits and then make that determination. That is why, in good part, we have our court process.
Bill C-26 in essence complements our law enforcement agencies. It is not there to say that our police forces, whether it is RCMP or local policing units, are not doing their job. They are doing a wonderful job, in terms of protecting and making people feel safe and secure in our communities, given the resources they have.
When I was a bit younger, a number of years ago, and in university, one summer I was employed to canvass the community. I had to go door to door and ask about issues like community safety. I can remember that in older communities, people would say that they remembered when Ralph, an officer of the law, used to walk up and down the streets. He knew the individuals who were causing the problems and he was able to provide a sense of security.
Then we evolved away from the community policing that Canadians respected for many years. We started to get more individual police officers in police cars because of suburban growth and things of that nature. We have seen more of an investment in the number of officers, and in many communities today, we see that more policing is actually being supported through having more police officers and, ultimately, more community police officers
When I look at the future, I think we need to invest more into community policing, because I think that is the best way for us to enable citizens to be more involved in our communities. I would suggest that citizens do want to get involved. There are many examples of citizens' wanting to be involved. The bill today is just one of those examples.
I could talk about concerns raised in the area I represent. Out of the blue, out of goodness, a number of individuals said they wanted to form a group to walk up and down some of our streets in some of our communities. These are citizen action groups. There is nothing wrong with that. Individuals who take that kind of action should be applauded. They wear bright vests and are well identified. They are not vigilantes looking to cause issues or problems. They are just more concerned about our communities. They are watch groups. They all play a role.
What is really encouraging is to see our law enforcement officers supporting those groups. Part of that support is through providing education on what we can or cannot do. When we make a citizen's arrest, we do have to be careful. We have to size up the situation. Is it situation we really want to get directly involved in? Is there a better way? Maybe there might be a community police office nearby; maybe we would recognize a particular individual in a store, identify that person to the local police office and resolve it in that way, as opposed to making a citizen's arrest.
I can tell members the story of what happened to a lady in an office right beside my constituency office. She was robbed and stabbed in the neck by a young offender. She recognized the person who committed the crime. Instead of running out of the store and trying to administer a citizen's arrest, she stayed in the store and contacted the police. After a while the police got to the store; it took them a little while, but they got there. Because she was able to describe the person and even point out the person's house to the police, proper actions were taken. The youth was taken into custody. Hopefully we will see some justice with regard to that particular issue.
I would suggest that this person made a good decision in this instance. It was an appropriate thing to do. That is what people have to look at when they are faced with the necessity of taking action because their property is threatened. In this case it was not only property but, to a certain degree, her life as well. She was stabbed; she had to go to the hospital and have stitches. She had taken a personal assessment of the situation and had made the determination that the best way to deal with it was to contact the police.
However, sometimes that is not the way to go. Sometimes it is necessary for someone to—

I must interrupt at this point. The hon. member for Winnipeg North will have nine minutes remaining when the House returns to this matter.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Highland Companies group, backed by a Boston-based hedge fund, proposes to dig a 2,300-acre limestone quarry on prime farmland in Melancthon Township in my riding of Dufferin--Caledon.
The company wants to dig down 200 feet, well below the water table. The end result is that 600 million litres of water per day, enough for over one million Ontarians, would have to be pumped out, treated, stored and injected back into the local aquifers. The project proponents say this procedure would pose no risk to the local environment.
Melancthon Township is home to the headwaters of four major river systems flowing in all directions. To claim that there would be no effect on the headwaters and beyond stretches the realm of possibility.
I call upon the Minister of the Environment to order that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency conduct a full environmental assessment. The residents of my riding and of Canada deserve no less.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
François Choquette Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, my constituents in Drummond are demanding that the government take practical action to protect the environment and mitigate the impact of climate change.
In the meantime, the Conservatives are collecting fossil awards at the UN climate change conference in Durban, and the Minister of the Environment is throwing sand in the gears of post-Kyoto negotiations.
The Conservatives' lack of action on climate change is causing Canadians to lose jobs. Our trade partners are slamming doors on Canadian energy because of the Conservatives' environmental policies. The Conservatives do not have a plan to tackle climate change; they do not have a plan to improve the quality of the environment; and they do not have a plan to create jobs in the new energy economy.
What will it take for the government to become a leader in green energy and to take a leadership role in the Durban negotiations?
National Day of Romania
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Corneliu Chisu Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Canadians of Romanian descent on this first day of December, the National Day of Romania. It was first celebrated 93 years ago and is of great significance to all Romanians.
While visiting Romania this past August, I was fascinated to see how far the country and its institutions have progressed since the Romanian revolution of 1989. In these last 22 years of freedom from one of the most despicable and oppressive Communist regimes in world history, the country has made tremendous progress, and the will to continue to build a democratic and vibrant society is stronger than ever.
Today Romania and Canada enjoy excellent relations at all levels, and both countries are allies in NATO.
Today I invite all hon. members to join me in congratulating our Romanian Canadian friends for their achievements and in wishing them all the best for the future.
God bless Canada. Vive la Roumanie. Traiasca România.
CHAMP Ambassador
Statements By Members
December 1st, 2011 / 2 p.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Erica Noonan, who is from Stephenville in my riding of Random--Burin--St. George's. Erica was born without the lower part of her right arm but has never allowed this to hold her back.
Since she was six months old, Erica has been involved in the War Amps child amputee program, and she credits the organization with making her a more confident person. Today Erica is a junior counsellor at War Amps seminars and spreads a message that we can all adhere to: "Believe in yourself and live your life with a positive attitude. It is not about winning and coming first, but winning in life and doing the best you can".
A gifted athlete, she was chosen as flag-bearer for Team Newfoundland at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax.
Erica, who is a primary-elementary education student at Memorial University, was presented recently with a CHAMP Ambassador certificate for her work in the War Amps' Operation Legacy.
I ask all members to join me in paying tribute to Erica Noonan, an extraordinary young woman, who reminds us that with the right attitude and determination, there is no reason anyone cannot lead a full and rewarding life.
Mississauga Firefighters
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Wladyslaw Lizon Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, November 25, I had the honour of visiting the Mississauga fire halls. I visited with several crews who risk their lives every day to keep our families and communities safe, sometimes at risk to themselves.
I was given a demonstration on how to use the jaws of life and a life-saving defibrillator, tried on firefighting equipment, and went up on a 105-foot aerial platform. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to sit and talk with the men and women of the Mississauga fire department about their needs and how we can keep them safe while they are risking their lives for their communities.
I urge all members of the House to contact their local fire department to meet the everyday heroes in their communities.
I want to thank Mississauga fire chief John McDougall, along with firefighters Mark Train, Ryan Coburn and Chris Varcoe, for giving me an unforgettable experience, and I want to thank all of the Mississauga firefighters and firefighters across Canada for their hard work, dedication and tremendous contribution to Canadian society.
International Cup, Kids Playing for Kids
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Isabelle Morin Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure to announce to the House a wonderful event that took place in my riding in Dorval this past summer. The sixth annual 2011 International Cup, Kids Playing for Kids was not only an amazing opportunity for all the children to take part in an international sporting event, it was also a very serious fundraising campaign in which $40,000 was raised for the Sainte-Justine Hospital Foundation and the Montreal Children's Hospital.
It is extremely important that our children stay active in their bodies but also in their minds. Children are our future and instilling values of community engagement is something that we as a Canadian public should support. The international cup gave the participants the pride to know that they were trying to improve the lives of others.
Let us respect their goals by using the tools of the House to continue their work and improve the lives of all Canadians.
Order of Canada

2:05 p.m.
Earl Dreeshen Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, on November 4, I was honoured to attend the Governor General's Order of Canada ceremony to support and thank one of Red Deer's most valuable citizens, Joan Donald. She received this prestigious award for her contribution to business and her philanthropy across our community. Joan is the co-founder of Parkland Income Fund, one of Canada's biggest privately owned gas outlets and sits on its human resources and corporate governance committee.
Her passion for her community is evident with her devotion to the Festival of Trees campaign and her support for Red Deer College, where she sits as a member of its board of governors. She is also a member of many other boards, including the Alberta STARS Society and Foundation.
In addition to being awarded the Order of Canada, Joan has also won Red Deer's Citizen of the Year, Corporate Citizen of the Year and Generosity of Spirit from the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Joan Donald is a wonderful asset to our country and a great example of a well-deserving Canadian. I thank her for her service and ask her to keep up her good work.

Peter Goldring Edmonton East, AB
Mr. Speaker, 20 years ago, the people of Ukraine held a referendum, overwhelmingly choosing democracy and independence.
Their choice was affirmed during the 2004 Orange Revolution, where, from Independence Square, came a wonderful message of a nation's people peacefully demanding and getting democratic reform. However, that democratic light is now fading as the newly-elected regime slips backward toward totalitarianism, abusing the very courts and laws intended to protect citizens, democratic and civil rights. The arrest, show trial, conviction and jailing of former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko is politically motivated, intended to prevent her candidacy in upcoming elections.
All free nations, along with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, must remain vigilant and continue to speak out against this abuse of rights and democracy. The President of Ukraine must be told that it is not just Tymoshenko he has put on trial but democracy itself.

2:05 p.m.
Marie-Claude Morin Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC
Mr. Speaker, according to the most recent report of Montreal's Director of Public Health on social inequalities in health, residents of Westmount live longer than residents of Hochelaga—Maisonneuve. The report indicates that people living in poverty have a far lower life expectancy than those who are more affluent. In 1998, the gap was seven years, but a rich man today lives six years longer than a poor man.
The report recommends increasing the income of the less fortunate in order to improve their quality of life. The poor are entitled to housing and a decent income. Funding to build social housing and to invest in daycare centres in poorer neighbourhoods is crucial.
We cannot live in a country where being born into a wealthy family gives you an automatic headstart.
That is why we are calling on the government to provide more funding for the fight against poverty in order for Canada to really become a country where the distribution of wealth is a priority.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joyce Bateman Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, Canada and the world are marking the 16 days of activism against gender violence because it affects us all. It destroys families and is a black spot on our society. It takes a heavy toll on our communities and our economy.
Community resources are vital to ensuring women have access to all kinds of relief and assistance they need when dealing with abuse. In the past year, Status of Women has approved over $2 million of funding for projects to enable second stage shelters and other community organizations improve access to high-quality services for abused women leaving emergency shelters.
By supporting the development of new and innovative service delivery models, these organizations can now better assist women dealing with violence and abuse and their transition to violence-free lives.

GA makes strong showing in New MexicoAugust 12, 2013 by Craig Fuller
Today I'm in New Mexico, where I've had the chance to see just how general aviation can prosper when we get pilots and elected officials engaged.
Companies including Aspen Avionics, Bendix/King by Honeywell, and Eclipse Aerospace all have operations in New Mexico, a state where general aviation is represented by more than 4,200 pilots operating out of 61 public-use airports. It's also a state where general aviation generates more than $700 million each year.
We had a terrific crowd at Cutter Aviation here in Albuquerque to hear Sen. Tom Udall and Gov. Susana Martinez speak about the future and importance of GA to the state and the nation. Here are two elected officials who really understand what general aviation is all about. They recognize that GA provides transportation, recreation, humanitarian relief, business opportunities, and so much more.
The event was hosted by GAMA and co-sponsored by AOPA and others—a wonderful way our aviation organizations can work together to rally all segments of the general aviation community.
I love being part of events like this because the elected officials who take part in similar gatherings nationwide are always impressed not only by the size of the audience, but by their understanding of the issues and their active engagement to preserve and promote our freedom to fly. I hope next time we're in your area, you'll turn out to show your elected officials just how much general aviation means to you.

Human-powered helicopter has 2nd crashMonday, August 27th, 2012
UPDATE: The University of Maryland's Gamera II human-powered helicopter crashed during a descent Aug. 30, when a blade bumped into a student. There were no injuries. The human-powered helicopter had reached 8.6 feet. To win a Sikorsky $250,000 prize it must stay aloft for 60 seconds (it has done that in a test flight), remain within an 11.7-foot circle (it achieved that, too, on another test flight), and climb to 9.8 feet. It must do all three on one flight, and that has not been accomplished. Here is the crash video. Gamera II has in the past routinely drifted sideways during descent. There are simultaneous attempts by Canadian students at a school in Toronto to win the Sikorsky prize. For a roundup of all attempts nationwide, see this Popular Mechanics article.
UPDATE! In preparation for the August 30 trial, the students on August 28 made an unofficial flight for 65 seconds–long enough to meet one of the Sikorsky requirements–and met a second requirement by staying within an 11.7-foot diameter circle. That's two out of three requirements. The craft climbed to EIGHT feet (see the exciting video of that here), but if it should make it to 9.8 feet they will have themselves a $250,000 prize.
In a larger indoor arena, with a few unspecified modifications, the University of Maryland's Gamera II human-powered helicopter will make a second attempt at the $250,000 Sikorsky Prize this month. Engineering students confirmed a record of nearly 50 seconds on August 15. But the bigger prize is so close they can smell, taste, or feel it–take your pick. To win, the bicyclist sitting at the center of the 114-foot contraption must stay aloft for 60 seconds, achieve a height of 9.8 feet, and stay inside a circle that is only 11.7 feet in diameter. This time around, the students have a real shot at the 60-second mark, if not the height and navigation marks. The move to the bigger arena means they won't constantly crash into walls as happened previously. The attempt will be August 30. The University of Maryland mascot is the Terrapin turtle with the slogan, "Fear the Turtle." No one said anything about" terrible." Still, the Terrapin is one tough dude. It can live in fresh or brackish water–Terrapin don't care (to borrow a slightly cleaned-up phrase from the YouTube video about a honey badger that faces down a rattlesnake and shows blissful disregard for the reptile's venom).

Ah...youth!Posted Monday, April 14, 2008, at 12:11 AM
There is something to be said for youth…
…and if I could recall what it was, I'd expound upon the subject.
With each day, however, it seems that I am less able to recall just what was so great about those days of yore. It's not that they weren't something to write home about. It's just that I can't remember what it is I should have written!
How might I be expected to recall the events of four or five decades ago when I can't remember where I parked my vehicle at the mall this morning or what I had for breakfast?
There are a few things, however, that I do recall about my youth that bear mentioning.
I recall going out to play at mid-morning and not returning home until nearly dark and no one worried about where I might be. In that interim, I might have been climbing a cherry tree or gathering nickels to walk to the "little store" for a "pop," (which later would become a "soda") or riding a bike with friends for hours on end. I recall gathering old unused boards or more often recycled ones, pulling the nails and using them for steps to a tree fort and then hammering together the tree fort itself. Seemed like it was 90 feet in the air. In reality, it was probably within jumping distance. Of course the jump might have resulted in a broken bone or two that required one doctor's visit and a plaster cast…why is it that today the same injury requires surgery and pins and rods and months of physical and occupational therapy? Could we be wiser or just more gullible? Hmmmmm.
I vividly recall watching from the kitchen window when I was about 10 as I helped my mother wash dishes. My younger brother was jumping from the wooden picnic table and on one of his jumps, he ground seemed to have appeared before he anticipated its arrival. He wailed a bit and managed to rebound to the tabletop, but sat upon it hollering for my mother's attention. I recall my mother leaning over and saying, ever so non-challantly, "Just ignore him…he'll be ok in a minute." The theory was, I surmised, that he cried too much and assuming he only wanted attention, we continued to ignore his cries for sometime. When after what seemed an eternity, however, someone finally gave in and sympathized with him…seems he had fractured his arm near the elbow. It never quite bent all the way to the shoulder again, even after removal of the cast months later. I believe after that, we paid more attention to the wails of the younger children. A lesson learned.
I recall plucking grapes off vines that grew wild along a fencerow on our property and no one seemed to notice, except those of use who make the trek to the "little store" on a daily basis during those summer days. No need to wash the grapes before devouring them. It never occurred to us. We'd pick up apples from the ground on the same short trip and polish them off on our shorts before swallowing them in a few bites. Bittersweet, they were. And I recall being dismayed when one of us bit into a juicy apple and drew it back to find half a worm! My thinking at the time was that it was better to find half than whole, but I later realized the greater impact that half had.
I recall, advancing a few years, that there were five teenage daughters at home at one time and all of us drove. The driveway must have resembled a used car lot and there were boys at home still. When we were all old enough to date, I recall cars lined up in the long driveway…our dates delivering us home. The brave ones "parked" for as long as they could get away with it in the circle drive. So, besides our various old Fords, Chevrolets and Volkswagens (and a red 67 Nova later on) there were the dates' "cool" cars of the 1960's, which made for about nine vehicles filling the circle drive. An anxious mother, donned in her babushka (look that one up), would go from vehicle to vehicle, tapping on the windows and telling us that it was past curfew. I think that she first surveyed the damage and chose the cars in order of how badly the windows were fogged.
I recall meals of everyone sitting at the table and each night there would be meat, potatoes and a vegetable. And each night there would be dessert…a homemade cake (a cake mix was out of the question!) or pie or cookies. And I recall one time when there wasn't dessert for some unknown reason and I wailed, "Do you mean that I ate all that for nothing?" It seemed a logical question at the time.
I recall staying out in three feet of snow in the winter months after digging in the mitten box for something warm to cover our hands. Fashion certainly wasn't a concern, nor was size. If we could squeeze it on and it was warm, that's what mattered. As I recall, "matching" wasn't even a priority. Navy and black was a close enough match. Blocks of snow were carved out of the drifted snow banks for igloo walls. I can even recall being amazed at how much warmer it was in those igloo walls than outside in the wind.
I recall egg salad sandwiches and chocolate milk..the real kind. And peanut-butter sandwiches dipped into the chocolate milk before devouring…you had to do it really quickly or you'd lose the best part in your glass. Some of us exhibited more expertise than others at this art.
I recall spending hours at a time at the creek down the road, where we'd catch tadpoles and watch them over time evolve into toads…the lucky ones, that is. Seems life in a Mason jar wasn't really conducive to the life cycle of a tadpole. Same with caterpillars.
Ah, but lightening bugs…if they lasted an evening in the Mason jar with holes poked in the metallic lid with the rubber guard, we deemed it a successful evening. I recall actually dissecting the defenseless little flittering things with the glowing yellow pouches just to see how they worked! Can't say that we ever quite figured it out.
And I recall sleeping out under the stars…sometimes on the ground, other times on the rooftops of buildings on the small farm that housed anything from chickens to sheep to horses. If there was a level side or a not-so-steep pitch, it was ours. No one worried about our safety. I suppose the theory was there was strength in numbers, although I recall worrying a bit after the broken arm incident and being told to ignore the wailing!
I recall a houseful of relatives each Sunday and again, a full meal and no buffet style…always a sit-down meal and everyone was served. How did she do it?
I recall bathing caps….hideously tight rubber caps with chin straps. They, too, were placed in a box and were doled out on summer days on a first-come, first-served basis. The lucky ones got first "dibs" and were granted the colored caps with the big, floppy rubber flowers draping from one side. Like plastic canisters or Howdy Doody lunch pails, they're probably worth big bucks today!
Speaking of lunch pails, I can vividly recall the scent (or was it the "smell") of the metal lunch pails. Mine had a hunch-backed shape and had little red barns painted on it. Every item was wrapped in waxed paper and the box itself bore a distinct smell…yep, it was a smell, not a scent.
I recall nuns too, and while some were kind, most were not. Still, my vocation in life was to become the "cook nun" at the local Catholic elementary school. My mother was so proud at the mere prospect, since none of my siblings seemed to have realized the long-term benefits in the chosen field. Somehow, it went by the wayside, along with the knowledge of how many sheep were raised in Australia and all the words to the second verse of "The Erie Canal." But the story of nuns and The Erie Canal for another time.
And I thought I couldn't recall my youth! Who knew!!
And, what do you recall?

By the way, my sympathies on the fight with AT&T, ducky. When I finally got exhasperated enough to take my internet away from Big River, I tried to sign up with Southwestern Bell (since bought by AT&T), and all I could talk with on the phone were foreigners, whom I could not understand.
Normally, I'm very tolerant with accents; in fact, I like them - but this went "beyond the pale," so I chose a more local company who spoke Southeast Missouri English!

Dandelion chains! We made them the same way - split the stem and insert a dandelion. Only good use I know of for dandelions, except for dandelion wine, and I've never tasted that. I have no idea if it's any good. I do love my son's sweet potato wine, though.

Don't I wish. Alas, it's been a tough year for me, topped off by a recent fight with AT&T for discontinuing my internet service. When I called to complain, the business office said, "we don't know why it was turned off." Duh. I had to threaten bodily harm to the poor little service rep guy in India - that and threaten to drop my land line, my internet service and my cell phone - just to get any help at all. It's a good thing they're not the only providers available or we'd NEVER get any service.
Yes, I remember dolls out of hollyhocks. I remember making necklaces out of violets - you'd split the stem a little and slip the next flower through to make a chain. We made necklaces, bracelets, anklets and crowns out of them. Ahhh, the sweet days of summer.

Wooden screen doors! I had forgotten about them! When was the last time I saw one?
Yesterday a friend of mine was recalling how he and his friends used to make kites out of newspaper. They used rags for the tail.
Good to have you blogging again, Ducky Dear! We thought you had deserted us for more exotic climes!!
-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Apr 23, 2008, at 8:08 AM
I recall well, Ducky, the taste and smell of a screen door...interlaced with dust from the gravel or dirt paths around it. I have found that no scent quite duplicates its scent. Perhaps it had something to do with the wooden scrolled trim around its edges. And all we needed to protect us from the elements was a slim hook that raised and fit into an accompanying screwed in loop. Most of the time, we saw no real need to hook it. Who would ever have thought we'd have to fear anything more threatening than the neighborhood collie?

Do you remember making little dolls out of hollyhocks? You used an open flower for the skirt and a bud for the head. They were lovely ballerinas when you twirled them!

Amen to that, goat lady.
Minnie, you never fail to amaze me.
Do you remember the smell and taste of a screen door? I must have been really little, but it's a vivid memory.
Summers used to last so long. For that matter, summer days used to last so long. We played outside until after dark and regretted having to go in when called. "Ah come on, Mom. Just a few more minutes."
Youth is definitely wasted on the young.

Most of the students in this part of the country are still respectful of their elders and behave well - whether they go to public or private schools. Let's hope it stays that way, despite governmental interference.
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Apr 19, 2008, at 8:43 AM
Well, I'll tell y'all something. Things really are still better here than many parts of the country. I spent my teenage years in Pomona, California (71-77). Thank God for my grandmother who started a private school after she retired from 40 yrs in public school. That's where I attended high school. Gang violence was already real bad and so was drug use in the public schools there. I used to think I was too "sheltered". Now, I'm glad I was! Out here (and we've lived in Missouri now 17 yrs and going on 12 in Stoddard County), kids seem to be more respectful than in many parts of our country. I'm glad we raised our kids here and now we have a grandchild growing up here.

I remember many of the same things from childhood. Swift, you're probably right about the toys lasting longer: they were much fewer and more treasured. Many, many hours were spent playing "cowboys & Indians" in the neighborhood where I grew up. The cowboys from Saturday matinees were our heroes. It cost a nickel to go to the movies then. My own children spent much more time outdoors than the grand-children do. We lived in a small Stoddard County town where they rode bikes all day and knew to come in when the street lights came on. They were taught to respect other people's property and to come home when they were hungry, thirsty, or needed to use the bathroom. They had a lot of freedom, but we didn't want them to impose on other families.

Minne O'Pausal's response:Not to worry, Swifty....happens to the very best of us! Your memories are much appreciated...food for thought.
In the late '60s in Clovic New Mexico, my second home-town, I remmber waking up on a Sundya morning to the smell of bacon and eggs and the sound of the Stamp's Quartet on a local am radio station.
Yeah, I remember my mom telling us kids to pick up all those pears that had fallen from the tree out back. It was well worth all those pear preserves she made!
Uh huh, I remember hearing those F-111 fighter jets from Cannon Air Force Base flying overhead and it made me proud to be an American!
Yeah, our public school back then didn't care about the '63 Supreme Court decision to take prayer and Bible reading out of school. The principle prayed a prayer of thanks over the intercom as we lined up in the cafeteria for Thanksgiving dinner.
When we were growing up we all went to church whether we felt good or not. And we were expected to be quiet in church. We went every time the door was open it seems.
Yep, back in that western town, all the neighbors helped one another. We played outside without having to worry much. We didn't have much, but it does seem like the toys lasted a lot longer than they do now.

Minnie dear, you have outdone yourself! This blog is SO worth the wait!!
I remember the clink of my mother's wedding ring, as she washed dishes and I stood beside her, drying them.
I remember how we took our "bathing caps" to the pool, where all the girls looked the same from the neck up (above the water), and I always met some new person that I liked - then I couldn't recognize them when I saw them outside the pool. I always wanted one of the fancy caps with the big rubber flowers, but I never got one!
I remember playing outside in the neighborhood all day, until it began to get cool in the evening, but no one wanted to go home. The moms yelled for us to come to supper, and we always promised to come back, but it was never the same after supper, and most of us didn't.
When we were very young, I remember Mom dragging the old galvanized tubs out to the back yard, and filling them up with cold water from the hose. No fancy store-bought wading pools in those early days!

"Indigenous Couture" in celebration of The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: program created by Eddie Madril
6:00 p.m. Artists Showcase
6:30 p.m. Music by DJ EO
7:00–7:45 p.m. Fashion event showcase
7:45–8:30 p.m. Music by DJ EO
Native American artist and artistic director Eddie Madril brings his vision to the stage through the talent and collaboration of local Native American artists, craftsmen and designers to feature works representing native North American regions, nations, and tribes, from Alaska, the Northwest Coast, and California to the Southwest, Plains, Northeast, and Southeast.
During this unique presentation, discover the influence over history of traditional Native regalia on fashion. Music, storytelling, dance, and the catwalk come together to share the culture and beauty of American Indian people through both historical and contemporary reflections of style, exploring the role clothing plays in individuality, family, and community as an expression of who we are.

Fashion, though a more modern word, is an ancient expression of who we are as individuals, as a community, and as a culture. Through the development of this identity we are influenced by the world around us, finding inspiration in the similar expression of another person's choices, in the natural world of colors and designs, in the stories lying behind the visual representation that we come to understand. This influence is not one-directional: as in all human experiences, it reverberates in all directions, feeding and influencing us as individuals, and feeding and influencing those we encounter.

Borowski, who finished third in the National League with a career-high 36 saves last season, is being courted by at least a half-dozen teams, including Cleveland and Baltimore. The Indians are believed to be among the favorites to sign the 35-year-old right-hander, in part because Borowski's agent, Ron Shapiro, is the father of Cleveland general manager Mark Shapiro.

The market for former Marlins closer Joe Borowski is heating up. The Indians and Giants have joined the Blue Jays and Red Sox among teams interested in signing the veteran right-hander.

Skip to comments.Wis. appeals court: Voter photo ID constitutional
Posted on 05/30/2013 10:07:04 AM PDT by SopaterEdited on 05/30/2013 10:14:29 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Wisconsin appeals court says a law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls is constitutional.
Republicans passed a law in 2011 requiring voters to show photo identification, saying the mandate would help fight election fraud. The League of Women Voters filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court in October 2011 challenging the law. Judge Richard Niess ruled the law was unconstitutional in March 2012, saying it would abridge the right to vote.
(Excerpt) Read more at wqow.com ...
D*mn right it is.
And we don't need no stinkin' judge to tell this to us.
What next? Does this lift the injunction for the next election?
What do you think would happen if I refused to show my ID at the TSA window, and start screaming about how I'm being discriminated against and denied my right to free travel?
In my bad-news stupor, I originally read this headline as "unconstitutional." Tragically, I'm being trained to see bad news. Thank God I was mistaken!
If you have a passport, it would probably be confiscated and you'd be told whether or not it would return to you was "under consideration......by the State Department!"
i did the same thing
The WI legislature also is proposing a few "tweaks" to the law to clean up a couple of small issues in the next few weeks which should help even more.
Charlie Sykes had a local law guy on this morning that after the interview was over has Sykes feeling even better about the ruling.
It should be in effect next year.
Had this law been in effect in November, I guarantee you that Thompson would be the senator and the state's electors would have likely been for Romney.
Agreed — however, as we have seen, much more damage can be done to this country via the ballot box, than could ever be done with a single airplance.
I have absolutely no idea what an "airplance" is. Maybe I meant "airplane".
YAY Y'all!
Would you possibly also forfeit your 2nd Ammendment rights?
I hate when I.D. law proponents make even small concessions on their original bill because it makes it appear that even they had some reservations about the effects. They should stand strong on every point. Otherwise, the liberal opposition jumps on these waffles to capitalize on them.
The "exempting poor people" concession is a joke. Who PAYS to vote? NO ONE!!!!!
On of the tweaks in this case specifically answers one of the lawsuits claims that they had no birth certificate due to being born in the south ages ago and therefore can't get an ID.
Bullshit yes, but what the legislature is doing is allowing for that person to vote while signing an affidavit stating their vote is a lawful one. In any recount these would then be the first votes to be then challenged.
Suddenly there is a paper trail.
This is true. It does abridge the right of libtard constituencies to vote multiple times, to vote in the names of dead people and to vote in place of people who moved away, didn't show up to vote, etc.
Now that the courts have ruled sham elections to be the law of the land, I should have the right to pay my taxes with sham money from my Monopoly set. Change for a $500 gold note, please!
Thank you for referencing that article Sopater. Please bear in mind that my critique about the article below is not being directed at you.
The referenced article is another good example of articles that address Constitution-related issues in a way that are at least inadvertently targeted to low information voters. More specifically. not only is there no clarification of what constitutonal clause(s) that the League of Women voters and Judge Richard Niess claimed that the law violated, but neither do we hear from the Wisconsin Supreme Court why they found the law constitutonal.
Note that states can prohibit otherwise eligible people from voting on the basis of anything not expressly protected by the Constitution. And the Constitution prohibits the states from not allowing people to vote on the bases of race, sex, tax owed and age as evidenced by the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments respectively.
In other words, since no amendment or clause in the Constitution says that the states cannot prohibit people from voting if they can't show a photo ID, then the states are free to prohibit people from voting on that basis.
But the states have to administer photo ID voting laws in a way that such laws don't discriminate against poor people. This is because, although such laws are still constitutional imo, bleeding heart activist judges can probably get away with declaring such laws unconstitutional.
Naah, it just forces them to buy more fake ID cards.
South Carolina GOP Rep. Eviscerates Claims That Voter ID Laws Are Racist During Hearing
Me too, at first.
The Supreme Court of the United States ALREADY ruled Voter ID CONSTITUTIONAL in April of 2008. That didn't stop Eric Holder from suing every state that tried to implement it before the 2012 election. He should've been prosecuted for that, and that alone.
Is the Photo ID that is required under Obamacare also 'racist'???
The league's attorney, Lester Pines, had no immediate comment.
Another Dane County judge's decision blocking the requirement in a separate lawsuit still stands. Two federal lawsuits challenging the requirement are pending as well.
I don't recall this discussion regarding the 2nd Amendment at all.
I do not ever forfeit my right to self-defense but will recognize the airlines' conditional rule of requiring my photo ID to board their airplane and thoroughly endorse requiring a photo ID to vote as voter fraud is greater than believed to be.
Importannt decision on Voter Photo ID, although it doesn't change anything yet.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list. Sorry to be late with the ping, but I was away from my computer all morning.
No, this does not lift the injunction. This pertains just to the League of Women Voters lawsuit, although it is a welcome decision. There is another injunction in place. Unfortunately, I heard J.B. Vanhollen talking on the radio this AM that the libs can continue to file injunctios. The Legislature has something else in the works.
ACORN paid people to vote. It's a long standing Democratic Mafia tradition.
No it includes both black and white and colored pictures.
Correct. People (demonicrats) are paid TO vote.
I vote in every election. Where's MY check!!!!
I see you have not been voting Democrat. That is a problem.
Same here. Sad ain't it?
LOL! I've posted WI articles thinking they were positive, then they turned out to be negative!
You're right - since our media is so b@stardized, it's hard to keep things straight. Good is Bad. Right is Wrong. Up is Down.
All By design, Comrade. ;)
Happy, Happy! Slow and steady wins the race. :)
w00t! FReep this poll (look for it on the right) and slam it outta the park!
Do you think people should be required to show a photo ID to vote?
Yes No
How do poor people obtain state welfare without an identity? I can't figure this out. If they have the documentation to satisfy the state that they are who they are for welfare purposes, surely they have what is necessary to vote, or get an I.D. to vote. The fees for these are extremely nominal.
Doesn't matter what's "right" you should get it by now.. it only matters what the judges think.

text: So, what'll it be today? A trip or two (or 10) around the pattern, or a jaunt to the practice area to practice maneuvers? Maybe a little of both? If you're flying solo, make sure you have a plan for your valuable Hobbs time. Don't just fire up the airplane and start taxiing. Sure, all flight time is good time, but it's also somewhat expensive time. So figure out what you're going to do before you do it, and make your solo time count. Photo by Mike Fizer.—Jill W.

100 Miles to Redemption
A rocky trail of rough races lead to a 100-mile finish
It started with my husband reading the book, Ultra Marathon Man, by Dean Karnazes. ...
It started after my husband read the book, Ultra Marathon Man, by Dean Karnazes. He passed it on to me and said, "We should do one of these!" I laughed at first, but before I knew it we had signed up to run the North Country 50 Mile in Wellston, Michigan. At the time, we had both completed a few marathons, and the thought of running an ultra didn't sound too daunting.
A few months after we'd started training, though, my husband injured his back at work and had to call it quits. I pressed on, but come race day, I was ill-prepared for the course's hills, heat and humidity. I fell countless times and wound up dropping out at the 35-mile mark. My husband ran the accompanying trail marathon anyway, untrained and did manage to finish. I felt like a failure. So, I signed up for the Run Woodstock 50 Mile in Pickney in September 2010. I needed redemption. Luckily, the race went exceptionally well and I finished in 13:01. I even took third in my age group. ... Granted there were only three finishers in my age group, but I'm not complaining!
The next spring, I tackled several marathons including one back-to-back weekend: the Kentucky Derby Marathon (Saturday) and the Flying Pig Marathon (Sunday). I reasoned, if I can run 50 miles in one day, I can surely do 26.2 miles on consecutive days. My stars aligned (all four of them in the Marathon Maniacs) and I completed the journey. So what next?
On to what I called the "Epic Fail" of last year. I signed up for the Run Woodstock Hallucination 100 Mile. I felt good, my training had gone well. I had a previous 50-mile finish and a handful of 50Ks under my belt. I had pacers and a crew lined up. So what was the fail? Well, I was not prepared to adjust when things didn't go according to my plan. The rain came pouring down for days before the event, soaking the trails. It continued throughout the event leaving eight inches of mud that literally sucked shoes right off of participant's feet. I tiptoed around it the best I could, cursing and unhappy the entire time. I wound up a the start/finish aid station at the end of loop three (of six) trying to change my shoes and socks, which was pointless.
The race director told me I had four minutes to get out of the tent or I would miss a cut off. I just handed him my bib called it quits. I felt defeated, I did not think there was any chance to finish the race within the cut off, so I packed it in with a 50-mile finish before risking a DNF in the entire race.
After the race I was depressed. People asked how I did and I said, "Well I only finished 50 miles." Of course the non-running friends would say, "Only 50 miles, what do you mean? That is great!" They could not see how I missed my goal and 50 miles was not the brass ring I was hoping for.
Friends began to ask me what race I planned to do next. They said they wanted to know so they didn't sign up for it, joking that the "black cloud" would follow me and make for some crummy race conditions. So, I decided to simply embrace the suck, to take what mother nature threw at me and make the best of it. I took on a motto that I heard a friend say: "This sucks! But I love it!"
After a few days of sulking, I got back on the horse. Determined to surpass the 50-mile distance, I signed up for the Top of Michigan 100K in October of 2011. Again, bad weather struck: 40-mile-per-hour winds with a temp of 38 degrees and driving rain the entire time. I sucked it up and finished it in 13:00. I felt vindicated. I took third place in the "women under 45" category. I like to say that; it sounds good. I always put an asterisk after that, though. There were only 5 people in my age group to begin with. One was a DNS (Did Not Start) and one was a DNF. I scored some nice race swag for it. As a "back of the packer" I rarely get to place in anything, so I take what I can get. After the elation of the race I decided to go back to Run Woodstock in 2012 and get my 100-mile buckle.
2012 consisted of several marathons and a 50K. I followed a training plan from Bryon Powell's book, Relentless Forward Progress. The title of the book became a mantra for me. The summer consisted of lots of long, hot training runs in almost unbearable weather. I went out when it was raining on purpose. I was bound and determined to run in all weather so that when race day came, I would be ready. The culmination of the training happened at the North Country Trail Marathon, the same place I DNF'd at mile 35 two years earlier. Granted I only did the marathon, but I was treated to 92-degree weather and high humidity. The race went on and so did I. And, I finished.
Two weeks of tapering began. The Facebook chatter was all about how great the weather was to be for Run Woodstock. Then it changed. The weather prediction went to (surprise, surprise!) RAIN! My husband told me to stop looking at the forecast. Every time I looked at Facebook someone was saying, it was going to be another "Mudstock," like it was the previous year. I refused to let the banter bother me. I reminded myself that I trained in all weather, that I would accept and embrace whatever came my way on race day. While everyone else was complaining about the weather, I shouted, "Bring it on!"

About the Author: Jay Raman is Acting Public Affairs Officer at U.S. Embassy Guatemala City in Guatemala.
Guatemala is one of the most beautiful countries in the Americas, with soaring mountains, pristine jungle, and roaring rivers. Guatemala's fertile soil produces some of the world's best coffee, cacao, and cardamom, and millions of Guatemalans are dependent on the land for their livelihoods. But this same terrain, when mixed with abundant tropical rain, can turn deadly, as the world is now seeing through reports of landslides and floods that are devastating lives and communities throughout the country.
In late May,Tropical Storm Agatha swept through Guatemala and other parts of Central America, bringing with it torrential rains that killed more than 300 people. The U.S. Government response was immediate and large-scale, and efforts to help Guatemala rebuild and recover have been our top priority in the intervening months.
Although subsequent storms have not equaled the destructive force of Agatha, heavy rains have continued almost non-stop, and soil that was already under a great deal of stress has become saturated, resulting in widespread mudslides and flooding across the country since the beginning of September. To date, there have been nearly 50 casualties, and thousands of others have been displaced or otherwise affected. In one tragic case, as rescuers were digging out victims of a bus caught in a landslide, they themselves were buried under tons of mud and rock. A number of key bridges have collapsed, further isolating many rural communities. President Colom has already declared a state of disaster, and the situation is likely to worsen in the coming days and months.
As this latest tragedy was unfolding over the Labor Day weekend, Ambassador McFarland directed the U.S. Government response, in close coordination with the Guatemalan government and Guatemala's disaster response agency, CONRED (the FEMA equivalent). The Ambassador immediately requested $50,000 in emergency funds from USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, which are being used to purchase relief supplies. USAID is providing $4.38 million in special relief funds to support communities affected by Agatha, many of which have been hit again by the latest mudslides and floods. The Department of Defense, whose helicopters were crucial in delivering relief supplies to isolated communities after Agatha, has provided an additional $30,000 for blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets, and GPS equipment, and U.S. Embassy-supported helicopters are flying reconnaissance and search and rescue missions to assess the damage. The Centers for Disease Control and Department of State also are making significant contributions to disaster relief efforts.
As the Acting Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy, my job is twofold: to help pass along messages from our Consular Section to the local American citizen community and to raise awareness of the U.S. Government's support of relief efforts, which we hope will increase aid from other donors and buoy the spirits of the Guatemalan people.
The U.S. Embassy's most solemn obligation is to U.S. citizens in distress. Thousands of U.S. citizens are living, working, or traveling in Guatemala at any given time, and in situations like this, the Consular Section works very hard to advise them of potential dangers. One way my section helps is to pass along messages to our community through our website, and more recently, through our Facebook page and Twitter account. Social media is a powerful tool that gives us the ability to send out important information quickly to those who need it at any time of day or night.
Social media is also an excellent way for us to communicate with the Guatemalan public. In addition to a statement of condolences, we have been providing information about the U.S. Government response to this crisis, both online and through the Guatemalan media. We aim to let those who are suffering know that the rest of the world cares about them, and that help is on the way. Hope is an extremely powerful and positive force in times of crisis.
Guatemala will survive this latest tragedy, as it has survived many challenges in the past. As a neighbor and partner, the United States is helping Guatemala on the path to recovery. Supporting Guatemala's recovery is not only the right thing to do for humanitarian reasons, but it also demonstrates our commitment to stand by Guatemala as we work together on many important issues.
If you would like to contribute to relief efforts in Guatemala, please consider a donation to an international relief organization.
Join the conversation with the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala on Facebook and Twitter.
I'm pleased to learn the Embassy is lending a helping a hand in this situation. The United States has a large population of Guatemalans, and it is important that we help in the recovery efforts.
Rebecca in New Jersey writes:
You note that "The U.S. Embassy's most solemn obligation is to U.S. citizens in distress." Allow me to say that I am a U.S. citizen and am in great distress because my Guatemalan inlaws need financial support.
If the administration would grant the TPS that was requested 5 months ago, my distress would be relieved.
Thank you for your well-written article.

Jenny Sylvia Pesola
ELO, Mich. – Jenny Sylvia Pesola went to her Lord on Feb. 6, 2013, after succombing to old age.
She was born July 10, 1920, in Askel to Oscar and Jenny (Tauriainen) Heikkinen on the Heikkinen homestead.
Sylvia, as she was known, attended the Askel School through the eighth grade after which she worked in Detroit as a domestic until her marriage to R. Gordon Pesola in 1940 in Detroit. They resided in Detroit, returning to Elo where they owned and operated Pesola Service Station until retirement. Her last years were lived with her daughter in Cicero, Ind.
Sylvia was a loving mother, and an inspiration to those around her and was known for her loving kindness and hardworking spirit. She is fondly remembered for continuously cleaning and keeping busy. No job seemed impossible including building storage buildings, splitting and piling wood.
Her generous soul was exemplified by her sending money during her work as a domestic during the depression when the pay was less than $2 a day. She and her sisters bought the first washing machine for their mother and she bought her younger brother, Oscar, his first bicycle.
Sylvia always had a smile that warmed the heart of those on whom it fell.
Her greatest love in life were her grandchildren.
She is survived by her daughter, Paulette Greene of Cicero, Ind.; her son, Paul (Judy) Pesola of Elo; grandchildren, Jenise (James) Klein, Paul Pesola and Nathan Greene; numerous great-grand and great-great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gordon; sisters, Mayme Siira, Anna Huhtasaari, Senia Huhtasaari, Beta Boro and Trudy Fowler; a brother, Oscar Heikkinen.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12 in the Tapiola Apostolic Lutheran Church with Pastor Ken Storm to officiate. Visitation will be one hour prior to services on Tuesday in the church. Spring burial will be in the Elo Cemetery.
Arrangements are being handled by the Mountain View Mortuary in South Range, Antila Funeral Service, Inc. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at antilafuneral.com.

this is so funny when they have the scene of the sexy face lol and the way that rob and kristen work havinoh i almost forgetg a good time and how they can't stop of laughing the sweet thing!!!!!!!! oh and the dance everybody having a great time lolReplyDelete
these guys are too cute they are so giggly and happy it's great to see that. it is going to be sad that we won't get to see them in a twilight movie together again but maybe they will work together again one day, I know they want to work together again. I loved how giggly they where in the bedroom scene it's too cute for words because they just couldn't take themselves seriously staring into the camera. Yeah I don't think it was awkward and weird doing those kind of scenes for Rob and Kristen, maybe they where shy about the camera but they are boyfriend and girlfriend, they are comfortable with each other but they where too cute giggling with each other. The little one where they had Mackenzie on the 'Jacob wolf' and Rob picked her up placing his arm around her and Kristen was so sweet. I wonder what they are going to be like when they become parents, It's going to be so cute Rob would be the doting dad of course, he says he wants a little boy but I have no doubt if he has a girl she's going to be Rob's little princess Aww, he my just get a little too protective of his daughter though when she brings the boyfriend over to meet daddy, Kristen would probably laugh at him trying to be intimidating ad tell him to let her grow up, Kristen I think would be an amazing mother, she's got that in her, I'm not a mum I can't say but when she's around Mackenzie she stepped into her maternal side a bit, she's a little nervous holding the little baby she was probably worried that something would happen, she said she did worry about them but that Rob was super sweet with them so having Rob's there to reassure her she's going to be fine she got the hang of it you could tell she loved having that little baby in her arms, with her own child she'd probably be nervous especially the first born but she'll get the hang of it quickly, I have no doubt she'd always be there for her baby she'd be a very kind compassionate, nurturing mum she's got it in her but most of all they would be very protective of their babies they would need to be, they are not going to want their baby swarmed by paparazzi so they'd hide them while they are little and shield them when they are older but this child would grow up in the spotlight, not much you can do about that one, but it would probably be the reason mummy and daddy get stressed, I can see that one happening. I hope they have an amazing future together, I hope in a few years time Rob will propose and they'd get married, have children as many as they like and just be happy together without having to worry, they will have to worry a bit though because of the paparazzi and the media but if they stick together they are going to be fine. I can't wait to see Daddy Rob and Mamma Kristen talking about their little ones in the future but what they say about them and limited photos we'd see means that they are going to be fiercely protective of their little ones. Hope they have a future filled with joy and happiness and at least some peace when it all happens for them. I can't wait to get the DVD of BD part too it's going to be amazing the dance battle was so cool and you could tell it lifted everybody's spirits because they where all smiling and laughing, I wish Kristen and Rob would have joined in but dancing isn't really their thing, Rob attempting a summersault was so funny, Kristen just started laughing so hard because he was laughing right with her but I'm sure she said "come on Rob you can do this" a few times before that, lol they are too cute they really support each other and they really love each other
Cute vids, thanks RD!!!

Topic: git-svn, submodules & .gitignore
There are plenty of Git articles out there, but none solved my submodules & git-svn issue.
I have some svn:externals and I've tried translating them into submodules. All works fine, but when I try to do a git svn dcommit, I keep getting fatal: git-cat-file d8856b02245cd2754d012b7b45fcac34472358ca: bad file for the submodules. I have added those paths to .gitignore, but the same thing is happening.
Am I not doing something right here?

Elephant Interrupts McCartney's Olympic Rehearsal
Paul McCartney just made an Olympic-sized move for animals. In the midst of preparations for the London Olympics, which begin tomorrow, he put rehearsals on hold to send an urgent letter to Indian Forest Minister Dr. Patangrao Shripatrao Kadam asking him to help rescue an abused baby elephant.
The young elephant, named Sunder, is confined to a dark shed at the Jyotiba Temple in Maharashtra, where he is kept in chains that have sharp spikes attached to them. The spikes stab Sunder's feet, making it impossible for him to take a single step in any direction. PETA India learned that Sunder also has lesions all over his body from where his handler has beaten him with a bullhook (a sharp metal device that looks like a fireplace poker) and that his right eye is injured from being jabbed with the bullhook.
In his letter, Paul implored:
I most respectfully call on you to use your authority to get Sunder out, placed in your protective custody, and eventually integrated into a herd in the forest. … Please know the world is watching and wishing for a happy conclusion.
You can help! Urge the Maharashtra Forest Minister to use his authority to rescue Sunder and send him to a sanctuary.
Commenting is closed.
This elephant must be released from this crappy life. How would you like to live like that?
We are still waiting for news of this elephant's release from daily torture. Please keep him in the news, so that people don't forget that while we are living comfortable lives, this animal is alone and in misery.
The news of Sunder breaks my heart. NO ANIMAL should endure abuse, whether it is here in the USA or around the world. I have made a donation to PETA and hope your organization can make the higher court in India support the abolishment of cruelty, especially Sunder release ASAP. I cannot believed the court would allow this to continue, even in India.
What is Paul McCartney doing about it now?! Get out there and finish what you started! This is incredibly heartbreaking.
This is one of the worst things I have ever seen. I have been thinking about this poor animal all day. Something must be done before the animal dies. I assume from the treatment it's receiving that its handlers are trying to beat it to death. How can this be allowed to happen?
Please save this poor animal. This is horrific !
My heart goes out to this animal…it is very upsetting to see this…If by any chance someone can rescue this animal my place is very welcome for him to stay an be taken care of till he can be placed…so Paul if you are reading any of these messages please contact me if this is an option…maybe Obama could make a call to try and help this little guy….put this on the news across the board ….set up a donation to resue him to get him shipped somewhere safe…then these men need to be dealt with….
No animal deserves to be treated as this little elephant has been. Please do what you can. I will sign back on to donate what I can to this undertaking.
The torture of innocent, defenseless animals will always come back to haunt you. Please stop the cruelty.
The torture of innocent, defenseless animals will always come back to haunt you. Please stop the cruelty.
