Nájera, Manuel Gutiérrez
Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera 1859-1895
(Also wrote under the pseudonyms El Duque Job, Recamier, Rafael, M. Can-Can, Junius, El Cura de Jalatlaco, Juan Lanas, Perico el de los Palotes, Frú‐Frú, Ignotus, Pomponnet, Croix-Dieu, Omega, Fritz, Gil Blas, Nemo, Etincelle, and Puck.) Mexican journalist, critic, poet, and short story writer.
Gutiérrez Nájera was an important figure of nineteenth-century Latin American Modernism, best known for his innovative writing style and his development of the Modernist short story. His other work includes poetry and crónicas, short prose pieces devoted to a wide variety of contemporary topics: literature and the arts, including theatrical reviews, political and social questions, and general cultural criticism.
Biographical Information
Nájera was born in Mexico City on December 22, 1859, to Manuel Gutiérrez and Dolores Nájera. Most of his early instruction came from his parents, who were well educated, and there is some evidence that he attended a French school during his early childhood. His parents also arranged for the Archbishop of Mexico to tutor him privately in Latin. Nájera's mother was a very devout Catholic, as was Nájera in his youth. He remained a deeply spiritual man throughout his life, despite early disillusionment with the Catholic church. Nájera began writing in his mid-teens and by the age of sixteen, various newspapers were competing for the right to publish his work. He became a prolific journalist and co-founded, along with Carlos Díaz Dufóo, the magazine Revista Azul. Throughout his career, Nájera employed a variety of pseudonyms including Rafael, Mr. Can-Can, El Duque Job, Junius, and Puck, enabling him to reuse, adapt, and occasionally combine pieces to suit a variety of purposes and to publish them under different names. In 1888, Nájera married Cecilia Maillefert; the couple had two daughters, Cecilia and Margarita. His life from that point on was devoted to his family and to his writing. In fragile health even as a child, Nájera exacerbated his condition by constantly smoking cigars and by overindulging in alcohol. He died on February 3, 1895, at his home in Mexico City, surrounded by friends and family. Despite his lifelong ambition to travel, he had never left Mexico and had rarely ventured outside the capital.
Major Works
The majority of Nájera's work was written for newspapers and periodicals, and most of the pieces appeared almost immediately after he produced them. He wrote primarily poetry, short stories, and crónicas, a genre defined by critic Harley D. Oberhelman as "a commentary upon daily events or about any material of general interest, consciously cultivated as a special form of artistic prose." Nájera produced more than 1,500 of these crónicas, many of them under one or another of his various pseudonyms. In adopting a pseudonym, Nájera also adopted the point of view of its accompanying fictional persona, such as a priest or a simple country lad. He thus assured that his readers would not tire of the hundreds of essays he produced on a wide range of topics since they were written from various narrative points of view. Some of the crónicas were written to commemorate special occasions, such as "Gloria," which was composed to mark the death of Justo Sierra's daughter, and many of them discussed philosophical questions, religious or social problems, drug and alcohol use, or death. Nájera also wrote criticism on new literature, drama, music and poetry. According to E. K. Mapes, Nájera's "understanding of critical procedure, his acquaintance with literature, and his skill in marshaling his facts and arguments, are astounding to the last degree."
Nájera's short stories, were generally somber and occasionally even morbid. Some of these were published in a collection called Cuentos frágiles (1883), which was the only book of Nájera's works published in his lifetime. One of his most famous stories from this collection is "Mañana de San Juan," which tells the story of two small boys who wander away from their garden on the morning of Saint John's Day. One child falls into the water while reaching for a paper boat and his brother tries valiantly to save him, without success. The tale is typical of Nájera's work—a simple story filled with sadness and inevitability told in such poetic language that the reader is deeply moved. Many of Nájera's stories, such as "Los suicidios," "En la calle," and "La balada de Año Nuevo" involve tragedy and death. Another of his well-known tales is "Rip Rip," an adaptation of Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle." Of his many poems, "La Serenata de Schubert" (1888) has been cited as a brief but major lyrical poem, noted for its original imagery, fresh expression and melodic tone. M. A. Loera de la Llave describes it as a "well-wrought composition on Romantic topoi."
Critical Reception
Nájera's articles were in high demand during his life and interest in his work has remained relatively steady since that time. Due to the fact that Nájera contributed most of his work to a variety of periodicals, under a number of pseudonyms, it has been somewhat of a challenge over the years to compile and republish his work in book form. Critics such as E. K. Mapes have contributed much to the sorting out of these issues. As for his importance in literary history, many critics credit Nájera for his pioneering work as an early Modernist. John A. Crow calls Cuentos frágiles "the first expression of Modernist prose in Spanish America." According to Crow, "all of the critics have praised Nájera's poetry, but only a few have pointed out that his prose was a far more important influence on the writers who followed." Harley D. Oberhelman agrees, insisting that "the importance of his poetry to Modernism was great, but it was in his prose writings, especially the crónicas, that his contribution to the movement was most decisive." Oberhelman claims that "Nájera introduced Modernism to Mexico in the pages of his Revista Azul; his work represents a liaison between earlier romanticism and the refined work of the Modernists, and his Revista made possible the smooth transition from one movement to the other." In addition to his contribution to Latin American Modernism, critics praise Nájera's use of language and imagery in his poetry and short stories. According to Nell Walker, Nájera told even simple stories "in phrases so full of tenderness and pathos and adorn[ed] the whole with such beautiful descriptions of native customs or picturesque landscapes that the reader is fascinated with the picture and with the story." Crow, too, praises Nájera's ability to create poetic images, claiming that Nájera "scatters images like jewels throughout his prose."

[In the following essay, Mapes asserts that scholarship on Nájera has been long-neglected and examines the conflicting evidence regarding Nájera's earliest publications.]
One of the chief handicaps under which technical investigation on the Spanish American Modernist poets has always labored is the lack of genuinely accurate data on biography and chronology. It is for this reason that Raúl Silva Castro's recent book on Rubén Darío1 occupies so important a place in Modernist criticism: it painstakingly verifies every available...

[In the following essay, Taylor answers those critics of Nájera's who claim that the writer's work is derivative and lacks originality.]
The topic of literary relationships in the work of Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera is not new. In fact the question has been pursued to the point where Gutiérrez Nájera is all but denied literary individuality. Justo Sierra, unintentionally I believe, laid the groundwork for exaggeration when he wrote in 1895 that el Duque wrote poetry that consisted of "pensamientos franceses en versos...

The subject matter of Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" and that of Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera's "Rip Rip" are remarkably similar. No less striking, however, is the following disclaimer uttered by the narrator at the beginning of the Gutiérrez Nájera story: "¿De quién es la leyenda de Rip Rip?

The refined style the Mexican writer Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera (1859-1895) displays in his collections of short stories Cuentos frágiles (1883) and Cuentos color de humo (1890-1894) gives Nájera the distinction, shared with the Cuban José Martí, of being an initiator of modernism in Spanish American literature.

The varied writings of the modernista Manuel Gutiérrez-Nájera (Mexico, 1859-1895) constitute a highly literary literature that, unassuming and apparently simple, his poetry often dissembles. This comparative study focuses on his creative...

Unconnected: The Myth-perceptions of the Disability Community
As a kid my father gave me a book that was sure to be one of my favorites: Another Fine Myth by Robert Asprin. A great fantasy novel of a wannabe thief named Skeeve and his adventures in mediocrity and a rise to greatness. I fell in love with it. The characters are just an oddball rag tag group. Each book in the Myth series has the word myth in it. I just felt it apropos seeing as the news has been riddled with mythperceptions of people with disabilities as of late.
Recently, Rosie O'Donnell made some extremely uncouth and ignorant remarks about little people. She proclaimed she had a slight phobia of them and for some reason the movie The Wizard of Oz was to blame for this. To add further insult to injury her guest said that having sex with a little person was tantamount to child abuse.
It is comments like this, which are truly rooted in nothing but ignorance, which adds to the unconnectedness of people with disabilities. A recent video meme has been floating around the interwebs in the vein of Sh*t <insert group of people here> Say. Sh*t <insert group of people here> Say. There is thepeople with disabilities version as well. It is on the nose about the types of comments many people with disabilities hear on a daily basis. Although I'd like to add the Rochester version of "Hey! You should put a plow on that thing!" If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I'd be rich.
Just as I wrote about how an inaccessible environment takes a mental toll on those within the disability community, imagine adding the layer of people treating you as if you're some sort of horror exhibit from the circus.
At last year's Fairport Canal Days, I was with my youngest brother just hanging out and enjoying time with him. I noticed he was getting upset so I asked what was wrong. Now mind you he was 8 at the time and he stopped dead in the middle of the street and said:
"People keep staring at us."
"Are you sure it isn't because you stopped suddenly in the middle of the road?"
"Alright, so why do you think people would stare at us?" (at this point he continued moving)
"Cuz… you're in a wheelchair. But don't they know it's NOT POLITE TO STARE."
That last bit was directed at some little girl that had indeed been staring. She quickly ran off and I gave my brother a hug and an ice cream. He later informed me that he didn't like girls but since I am his big sister, I'm oh kay in his book. Priorities.
An eight year old child seems to understand that concept so clearly, and yet people do it all the time.
Time after time in conversations, when disability rights advocates speak, in my own thoughts when some stranger wants to ask me some random and really rude question and what Stephanie Woodward also eloquently spoke about on Friday at RIT at a disability awareness dinner* is the bigger question of: what other class of citizens gets this kind of treatment?
And the answer is, none. We don't go up to Asian people and say "Hey, are you good at math? Mind tutoring my kid?" Nor would anyone even think of asking a stranger about whether they can feel their genitals and are they capable of having sex.
Yet somehow that is all right to do to people in the disability community.
These societal attitudes have negative effects not only people with disabilities but drive decisions when it comes to healthcare and other forms of policy. In the next couple of blog posts I'll be addressing specifically what those areas are and how the detrimental to full inclusion of those with disabilities into society.
I'll end with one last story. I was in Wegmans a few weeks back and this cute toddler kept staring at my chair (kids really dig my light up wheels.). I smiled at her and was waiting for the pharmacy tech when her mother noticed her child staring. She knelt down and said "That's called a wheelchair. It helps her get around fast just like your legs help you get around. Isn't that cool?"
Indeed, I think my chair is very cool.
*Stephanie Woodward gave a fantastic talk on Friday at RIT for a disability awareness dinner. Some of the wording was similar to her speech. Any semblance to plagiarism is unacceptable and I am sorry that I was not more diligent in editing and giving credit to Stephanie.

HONU Update: NUBBA invites fans to SWAP IT to ROCK IT at upcoming tournaments
The New Ulm Basketball Association (NUBBA) is set to host its annual home tournaments in February and about 40 youth girls teams along with 60 youth boys teams from the Twin Cities, Rochester, Marshall, Willmar and all points between will be set for fast action, fun and some healthy competition.
This year, the competition won't be the only thing that's healthy; the offerings in the concession stands will be, too. At both the upcoming boys' grade 4-8 tournament being held Feb. 8-9 and the girls' grade 4-8 tournament being held Feb. 15-16, the concession stands will offer an array of new, tastier concessions that are healthier, too. In addition to the usual array of snacks, fans will have the opportunity to enjoy a 6-inch turkey or ham sub on a whole grain bun, string cheese, carrots, clementines, water, big pickles, granola bars and fruit. The offerings will be available at tournament locations Vogel Fieldhouse, New Ulm High School, District Administrative Center, Jefferson Elementary and Washington Elementary.
Jeff Anderson, NUBBA president, explained, "We want to fuel our kids for success both on and off the court. Sports not only provide physical activity for youngsters, but also an environment in which coaches can educate kids on healthy nutrition and exercise habits that they can take with them for a lifetime. Adding some healthier options to the mix is a great way for us to give a consistent message about our commitment to promoting activity and good health for both our kids and our fans."
The NUBBA Board has partnered with The Heart of New Ulm Project, which has been working with local athletic and food personnel from schools and sports organizations throughout the community to make healthier concessions available at area sporting events.
Holly Glaubitz, health educator with the Heart of New Ulm Project, said, "The culture has changed in New Ulm. People are making healthier food choices and looking for healthier alternatives wherever they go. We're thrilled that NUBBA decided the time was right to try out some new offerings. Many families have hectic schedules during the tournament, and sometimes the concession stand needs to provide a family meal as well as snack. It's great to provide options for parents to feed their family well and also for them to feel good about the available options as their kids head to the concession stand for a snack."
The offerings also provide choices for people who desire lighter options to help them lose or maintain their weight, or for people who are trying to eat more fruits and vegetables in order to keep their heart healthy, explained Glaubitz.
"More and more snacks and meals are being eaten away from home; it's not enough to eat well only at home anymore. We want to make it easy to make healthier choices throughout the New Ulm community," she said.
The Heart of New Ulm Project's concession campaign uses the slogan "SWAP IT to ROCK IT on the courts in the stands on the field in the classroom at home" to convey the message the healthier food choices can help students and adults alike stay energized and achieve optimal performance. Making small, healthier choices on a regular basis – SWAP-ing a healthier choice in place of a less-healthy choice – also helps people manage their weight and helps in the quest to reduce childhood obesity.
Anderson said, "We're confident our offerings will prove to be popular among our tournament players, families and guests, and profitable for our organization as well. I encourage everyone to come out and cheer on the NUBBA teams and support these new concession offerings. Together we are creating a community that supports health."

Jordan,My recollection is that the oil that is sometimes used is sunflower oil, as Marco (pizzanapoletana) mentions in Reply 24 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,656.msg11520/topicseen.html#msg11520.
Chau - I have to say that is an amazing pie. I did not see that until now - incredible Da Michele clone.John
Jordan,I completely forgot about the soya seed oil. Soya seed oil/soy oil is soybean oil. In the U.S., it is commonly called vegetable oil. It is very popular among pizza operators, including the big chains, because it is so readily available and just about the cheapest oil you can find. Sunflower oil on the other hand is much harder to find at the retail level. None of the stores near me carry it. Riposo is a rest period that usually takes place at the end of the knead, as Marco mentions at Reply 59 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1415.msg15195.html#msg15195. It is not a classic autolyse because the dough at that stage has just about all of the ingredients in it although sometimes the salt might be added late in the process, especially if the flour is a strong flour. Evelyne Slomon also discusses her understanding of riposo and its origins in the next to the last paragraph in her post at Reply 16 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3873.msg32525.html#msg32525. Bill/SFNM is also a big user of riposo, as he mentions at Reply 225 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,14506.msg147521/topicseen.html#msg147521. See, also, Bill's quoted material in Reply 341 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1053.msg12210/topicseen.html#msg12210.Peter
Craig, I have been reading a lot of your posts and looking at your pies and I must say they look absolutely delicious! I am happy you decided to chime in this thread, and I am glad you told me about your experience with autolyse. I am aware that it is not common practice in naples, but Dellavecchia has told me that Da Michele does an autolyse, so Im tempted to try it. And I heard it makes your dough kneading time significantly shorter, but I dont know if this is proven. Since I do all my mixing and kneading by hand, its difficult for me to come to a conclusion on whats the best possible technique. I dont want to keep wasting dough, even though I know experimenting is all the fun, but there is a lot that can go wrong with simply altering 1 step in your dough making procedure..
I feel like the videos I see of people punching the dough is not the most effective, especially I feel like it would heat up the dough which is another bad thing.. And since most people on this forum are getting these incredible $1000+ mixers for their dough, I am one of those lone soldiers that isnt really interested in getting one. I would love to learn the trade by hand, but not seeing anyone do it or showing me or having a reference of videos to watch its becoming an issue for me on this subject. I will keep digging till I find gold!

Thanks John, but out of those oils I posted links of are any of them good? Or is there any suggestions you or others could give me on a milder oil that would be good for "dressing" pies? Sorry I said finish, and yes I meant it as they finish off the pie with "A mixture of olive and soybean oils before it goes in the OVEN".
Chau - Do you have a thread post that outlines your clone formula/workflow?John
And as for the olive oil, I thank craig for posting his favorites! Is this the one you speak of Craig? http://www.olio2go.com/Products/San-Damiano-di-Francesca-Barnato-2010__SND-005.aspx
Other than what I bring back from Italy I have grown quite fond of Frantoia.

Physical exercise and executive functions in preadolescent children, adolescents and young adults: a meta-analysis
- Correspondence to Lot Verburgh, Department of Clinical Neuropsychology, VU University Amsterdam, Van der Boechorststraat 1, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands; l.verburgh{at}vu.nl.
- Received 6 June 2012
- Revised 4 January 2013
- Accepted 16 January 2013
- Published Online First 6 March 2013
Purpose The goal of this meta-analysis was to aggregate available empirical studies on the effects of physical exercise on executive functions in preadolescent children (6–12 years of age), adolescents (13–17 years of age) and young adults (18–35 years of age).
Method The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE and SPORTDiscus were searched for relevant studies reporting on the effects of physical exercise on executive functions. Nineteen studies were selected.
Results There was a significant overall effect of acute physical exercise on executive functions (d=0.52, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.76, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between the three age groups (Q (2)=0.13, p=0.94). Furthermore, no significant overall effect of chronic physical exercise (d=0.14, 95%CI −0.04 to 0.32, p=0.19) on executive functions (Q (1)=5.08, p<0.05) was found. Meta-analytic effect sizes were calculated for the effects of acute physical exercise on the domain's inhibition/interference control (d=0.46, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.60, p<0.001) and working memory (d=0.05, 95% CI −0.51 to 0.61, p=0.86) as well as for the effects of chronic physical exercise on planning (d=0.16, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.89, p=0.18).
Conclusions Results suggest that acute physical exercise enhances executive functioning. The number of studies on chronic physical exercise is limited and it should be investigated whether chronic physical exercise shows effects on executive functions comparable to acute physical exercise. This is highly relevant in preadolescent children and adolescents, given the importance of well-developed executive functions for daily life functioning and the current increase in sedentary behaviour in these age groups.

I'm curious what every one here would consider to be the most important songs or albums of all time. Not necessarily your favorite but what you consider to be important to music.
Bill Hailey And The Comets "Rock Around The Clock". It started Rock n Roll
Elvis Presley "Heartbreak Hotel". It introduced the world to Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
The Beatles "Sgt Pepper" album. I think we all know why this one os important.
The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds". Inspiration for Sgt Pepper.
CCR "Fortunate Son". I consider this to be the most important protest song of the 60's.
John Lennon "Imagine". Need I say anymore?
And I don't remember the artist name but "Video Killed the Radio Star" for better or worse it launched the video music age.
and so on....

This is "Tough Guy", a big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus. I forget what number he is, I lose track of these things. But anyway, he's a male, which is rare. For those that don't know, I do bat rescue in the dormitories here. He's really quite nice, but likes to put on his tough guy display now and then, hence his name.
I'll let him go once it's dark out. Ugh, I wish I had a place with better lighting for photography though. Also, should I crop this photo?

Chuck Cadman Surrey North, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-281, an act to amend the Young Offenders Act.
Mr. Speaker, I am reintroducing this bill that would amend the Young Offenders Act to make an offence set out in section 7.2 as a hybrid offence. It deals with parental accountability with respect to signed undertakings to supervise court imposed conditions for interim release.
The bill was originally introduced in the 36th Parliament as Bill C-260 and as C-235 in the previous session of this Parliament. The Minister of Justice has recognized the value of this legislation as it has been incorporated verbatim in the new youth criminal justice act slated to take effect on April 1, 2003.
While some may say it is therefore redundant, it is my intention to keep this proposed amendment on the order paper as long as the Young Offenders Act remains the law of the land.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Canadian Alliance
Chuck Cadman Surrey North, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-282, an act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Mr. Speaker, I am reintroducing legislation to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. It was Bill C-434 in the previous session.
This amendment would permit an immigration officer to require a foreign national applying for a visitor's visa to provide security as a condition of the issuance of that visa. It would also provide for immediate removal from Canada if the visa conditions or requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act were not complied with.
This bill is a direct result of working with my constituents whose family members living abroad have repeatedly been denied visitor visas for a variety of reasons. While my bill would not eliminate the possibility of visitors remaining in Canada beyond the approved period, it would provide the statutory means for their swift removal. My bill would give many Canadians the opportunity to enjoy family occasions together with loved ones from overseas. I look forward to debating this bill further in the House.

Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, as per the notice we served 48 hours ago, I move that the second report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, presented to the House on Tuesday, October 29, be concurred in. The report deals with the election of chairs of committees.
Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for Brossard—La Prairie.
As the House knows, this is the report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. This is an unusual committee. As members realize, but members of the public may not, it is a committee which is very central to the operation of the House. Its name is procedure and House affairs and obviously it is greatly seized with the procedures of the House on a day to day basis but, in particular, the procedures of the House as they are enunciated in the standing orders.
As the House affairs side of the title suggests, it is very much seized with the effectiveness of the House of Commons and greatly seized with the effectiveness of individual members of Parliament.
A great deal of the work of members of Parliament is their work in committee, and members take great pride in that. Many of them at the moment deeply regret the fact that the vast majority of the committees are not functioning yet, believe it or not, after so many weeks. It is my hope, as chair of the committee, and the hope of other members, that the committees operate as quickly as possible and as soon as possible.
The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs deals with the operations of the House of Commons. In the last year or so I have to say that members on both sides of the House on that committee have been very involved with the question of modernizing and reforming the House of Commons in various ways.
For example, it was this committee that made it possible for every sitting of every committee of the House to be televised. This was not the case before. As the House knows, we have always had committees that could be televised and we have rooms for special televised hearings but now, as a result of the work of this committee, it is possible to televise any committee meeting. We think that is a step forward. It has been a very progressive group.
Also in the last House the committee tabled a report, which it has retabled, on the reform of private members' business. Again, this is something which has to do with the very grassroots operation of this place and with the way individual members function. I think that report on private members' business is a considerable step forward. It is my hope, now that it has been reintroduced, that we will move forward on many if not all of the reforms suggested in that report.
I also have to say that this is not a normal committee. Its members include all five whips of the House. As well, the membership often includes House leaders and parliamentary secretaries on the government side. It is a very unusual committee. When the committee meets the parties are, in a very real sense, talking to each other directly, through their whips and other party officers, about the operations of the House today and for the future. Therefore it does not make decisions lightly. In my experience as chair, the members on all sides work very hard and do their best to maintain the health and quality of what goes on in this place.
In this case, the report that is before us proposes that rather than an open ballot at the first meeting of the year of any standing committee, that there be a secret ballot to elect the chair and the two vice-chairs of the 17, 18 or whatever number of standing committees we have.
The current practice, except in two cases, is that the chair and one vice-chair are from the government side, and one vice-chair is from the opposition side. Normally there is a show of hands and people are elected. I was elected in that way two or three weeks ago.
In my case, as far as I could tell sitting there when the clerk was conducting the election, I was elected unanimously but the members had to indicate by a show of hands who it was they were voting for.
The proposal in the report is for that process to take place in secret through a secret ballot. The report was brought forward by a majority of the committee. I think, as everyone knows, it was a majority which included government members and opposition members.
I want you to know, Madam Speaker, that the report had majority support but there were divisions in the committee and amendments were put during the debate. The amendments included the fact that the distribution of chairs and vice-chairs remain exactly the same as I have just explained: a chair usually from the government, except in special cases; a vice-chair from the government and a vice-chair from the opposition.
One amendment also included the provision for a review at the end of a year so we could see how the new procedure would operate and then there would be a review. At that time the committee and certainly the House would have a chance to re-address the matter.
In my view, the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs gave this matter very full and open examination. It engaged in as passionate a debate as I have seen in my time as chair of that committee, which is normally, I have to say, a fairly dispassionate committee. This morning I am moving concurrence in the report which I tabled earlier this week.

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Madam Speaker, I have a question for the Chair of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
He said that the committee worked hard and gave the matter very full and very open examination. Today, he is recommending that we adopt the motion he has put forward.
Would he agree with me that the matter should be put to us without the government making any amendments? This way, members would have the opportunity to vote immediately on the matter to ensure things get done properly, as the committee has already done its job. I cannot see the committee acting any differently. This is simple, this is the democratic way. The chair will be elected by secret ballot, and the matter will be closed. It would work better than having amendments and having the government meddle with the motion put forward by the Chair of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
10:20 a.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Madam Speaker, as the member knows, as soon as the committee had completed its deliberations, as soon as I possibly could, I tabled the report. I think it was the very same day. At exactly that same time I tabled written notice of the motion that I am moving now.
The member asks about amendments to this. It is my hope that now here in the House of Commons there will be as full a debate as we had in our committee. We are the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. I think we should abide by the procedures of the House of Commons and the standing orders that exist for debates of this type.

All Hail the Arsht
Florida's largest performing arts venue, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County is one of the country's premier cultural destinations. It is the home of Miami City Ballet and Florida Grand Opera—and, to a lesser extent, New World Symphony, though NWS now performs mainly in its own venue—and offers performances in three outstanding halls: Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House, John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall and Carnival Studio Theater.
From provocative theater to major operatic productions, this is the place to go. Not only is the design spectacular (thank you, Cesar Pelli), it also attracts world-class performances and some things you won't see elsewhere. Case in point: Ayikodans, a Haitian dance company that was on the brink of collapse when it caught the attention of the Center's leaders. The Arsht commissioned a piece that will premiere May 25.
On the popular side, Miami's Broadway series performs here. Next season's shows include Les Misérables and Memphis. And, significantly, the Arsht also is the Miami residence of the Cleveland Orchestra, an excellent, established group of musicians with a loyal following.
Strokes of Brilliance
Forget la vida loca. For Miami's culturally voracious, it's all about la vida MOCA. Though it's not located in the thick of the action (it's closer to Bal Harbour than downtown), the Museum of Contemporary Art is on the cutting edge of the contemporary art scene. That's because of the sharp eye of its curators, who are known for discovering amazing new talent as well as identifying important work by established artists. Well worth the hike to 125th Street.
A Whole New World
Under the artistic direction of Michael Tilson Thomas, the New World Symphony has been quietly educating and developing some of the world's leading musicians for 25 years. But when the orchestral academy moved to its new, Frank Gehry-designed campus, it really got the world's attention.
The new facility is the perfect home for this talented group of fellows. The space is beautiful, of course, but more importantly, the acoustics are pitch-perfect, which is imperative to both the playing and listening experience.
From the public's standpoint, the venue has become more of a destination for taking in concerts like the ultra-dramatic Bluebeard's Castle or Stravinsky's 1910 masterpiece, The Firebird. And how's this for democratic? The Wallcast concerts bring music to the people. For a number of performances, anyone can spread out a blanket on the center's lawn and enjoy the show projected onto a massive wall—no ticket needed.

Make soft creamy polenta
This traditional Italian staple makes a fantastic warming side dish for meat, chicken, fish or vegetables. Here's how to cook perfect polenta.
Alan Benson
Step 1:
Add the polenta to the hot stock in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly. If you add it too quickly, the polenta becomes lumpy.
Step 2:
Cook slowly, stirring constantly, over very low heat. The hot polenta may spatter as it cooks, so use a long-handled wooden spoon.
Step 3:
Spoon a little polenta onto a plate. Set aside to cool slightly. Rub between your fingers - if the grains feel soft, the polenta is ready.
For the polenta-to-liquid ratio, see this basic recipe for creamy polenta.

Range DescriptionThe pygmy beaked whale is known from a handful of specimens and several dozen sighting from the eastern tropical/warm temperate Pacific, including the Gulf of California (Urban-Ramirez and Aurioles-Gamboa. 1992, MacLeod et al. 2006). These records extend from about 30S to 28N, and suggest that the species may be an eastern Pacific endemic. However, there is a single record of a stranding in New Zealand (Baker and Van Helden 1999), possibly suggesting that this species may have a more extensive distribution than previously believed. Alternatively, the New Zealand record may be an extralimital wandering.

A common problem encountered when configuring drivers is the "Dll Load Failed" error. This error can occur when cascci.dll file is not found or when the file found is not the correct 32 bit or 64 bit version that we are expecting. For example, "ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application." error encountered in python (see example error message below), is caused when you install 32 bit version of python and 64 bit version of CUBRID on a 64 bit machine. The problem is CUBRID 64 bit comes with 64 bit version of cascci.dll which cannot be loaded by python.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python266>python.exe Python 2.6.6 (r266:84297, Aug 24 2010, 18:46:32) MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel) on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CUBRIDdb Traceback: File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python266\lib\CUBRIDdb\__init__.py", line 9, in <module> import _cubrid ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. >>>
The solution for this error is to download the cascci.dll driver for your CUBRID server version from here:
And you must copy this file either in the same folder as your python installation (where the python.exe file is located) or into a location that is in the path. The idea we want here is to use our version of cci driver and not the one that comes with the CUBRID installation ($CUBRID\bin\cascci.dll). The same procedure is done for php driver also.
Note: From the archives in the link above, only cascci.dll is required for driver usage. If you wish to replace C:\CUBRID\bin\cascci.dll file, then you should replace C:\CUBRID\lib\cascci.lib also with the cascci.lib file from the archive.
If anything is unclear, don't hesitate to ask a question in our Q&A Site.

Food Habits
The seven-spotted lady beetle is carnivorous. Both the adult and larval stages feed on insects harmful to plants, such as aphids and scale insects (Anonymous 1997). Adults can be known to eat up to 100 aphids a day (Arnett Jr., et al 1980). Rather than using any complicated methods for eating its prey, the ladybug kills its prey outright and then devours it (Waldbauer, 1998).

While the South Dakota state legislature has not yet approved any laws specifically addressing smart grid, as early as 1996 it has looked into some distributed generation technologies and created contractual methods for entering into wind easements for wind energy systems. (H.B. 1263) [2]
The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission had approved distributed generation prior to 1995. By 2002 the Commission had approved demand side management for business customers and 2008 for residential customers. The Commission reviewed Time-of-Day rates for all customers by 1992, and had established Real Time pricing for business customers by 2008. [3, 4, 5, 6]
"In July 2007, the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission decided not to adopt PURPA Standard 14 ("Time-Based Metering and Communications") as enacted in EPACT 2005. The Commission's decision is summarized in two passages from its July 2007 Decision:
- "The Commission finds that little evidence was presented that demonstrated that the adoption of this standard at this time would meet the PURPA goals of energy conservation, efficiency of facilities and resources and equitable consumer rates. The Commission finds that adoption of the standard could result in the utilities being required to offer uneconomic programs that result in higher rates."
- "At this time, the Commission is not convinced that the benefits of mandatory time-based metering for all customer classes will outweigh the costs."" [1]
Distributed generators include small qualifying power production facilities where prices are negotiated with the company.
Demand-side management includes interruptible service, energy storage service, controllable demand, and deferred loads. Interruptible service that charges a reduced rate to the customer for the company has the ability to de-energize specific equipment at a negotiated rate. Energy storage service and controllable demand charges a significantly reduced rate for the customer to shift energy use to off-peak times. Deferred loads include any load that the company can control to de-energize and or cycle off for up to 14 hours out of any 24-hour period.
Time-of-Day or Time of Use rates break the cost for electricity into periods on a seasonal basis for energy and demand pricing with either on-peak or off-peak pricing.
The Real Time pricing is based on the company's marginal cost-based prices and provided to the customer eight hours in advance of the day the power flows.

NYPA Energizes New York Aquarium With Fuel Cell
May 15, 2002
BROOKLYN—For nearly 105 years, the New York Aquarium has embraced innovations enabling visitors to experience the world's aquatic wildlife. Today, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the aquarium's operators, acknowledged the New York Power Authority's (NYPA) assistance as it deploys innovative clean energy technology to help meet the aquarium's power needs.
A clean energy fuel cell, installed at the aquarium, will produce electricity through a non-combustion chemical process which combines hydrogen and oxygen.
"Given its proud history, the New York Aquarium remains consistent with its environmental mission by seeking out a clean energy source, said NYPA President and CEO Eugene W. Zeltmann.
"Under the leadership of Governor George Pataki, NYPA has more than doubled its annual investment in energy efficiency and clean energy technologies. This fuel cell helps meet two of Governor Pataki's important objectives – cleaner air and a reliable, economical electricity supply for all New Yorkers," Zeltmann said.
"It is important for the New York Aquarium, as part of the Wildlife Conservation Society, to find ways to protect the environment by conserving energy and using clean energy sources," said New York Aquarium Director Dr. Paul Boyle.
"The New York Aquarium is one of Brooklyn's jewels as well as a major educational resource for our young people. Adding new clean energy technology here helps our environment while protecting this living institution," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
The Aquarium's fuel cell is the first installed in Brooklyn by the Power Authority. The PC25TM fuel cell developed by UTC Fuel Cells generates 200 kilowatts of electricity and 700,000 Btu of heat while producing virtually no pollution. Fueled by natural gas, the fuel cell will supply approximately 20 percent of the aquarium's daily requirements. The heat from the fuel cell will be used to preheat hot water for the administration building boiler and support system tanks.
With species ranging from beluga whales, walruses, sea otters, sharks, penguins and seals, the aquarium must operate an elaborate water storage and filtration system 24 hours a day.
Funding for the $1.1 million project was a collaborative effort between the New York Power Authority, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President. DOE funding of $200,000 was provided through an $800,000 grant awarded to the Power Authority in the late 1990's to install four fuel cells in the New York metropolitan area. The Borough President's Office provided $100,000. NYPA provided the remainder of the funding from its long-term energy services agreement with the City of New York.
NYPA has installed fuel cells at the New York Police Department Central Park Precinct, the North Central Bronx Hospital and Yonkers Wastewater Treatment Plant, the world's first fueled by the waste gases produced through the wastewater cleansing process.
Situated on 14 acres in Coney Island, the New York Aquarium is home to over 350 species of aquatic wildlife and over 8,000 specimens. The Aquarium continues its mission to raise public awareness about issues facing the ocean and its inhabitants with its special exhibits, public events and research.
The New York Power Authority is the nation's largest state-owned utility supplying about a quarter of the state's energy needs. In the New York City metropolitan region, NYPA electricity serves the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the New York City Housing Authority, the Port Authority, the New York State Office of General Services, the Javits Convention Center and the City of New York. NYPA also provides energy efficiency assistance and other customized services to assist its customers to reduce energy costs.

I'm looking to refresh my decoy spread. I have heard that got buys are semi worth their money. Is it better to buy GHG progrades life size or oversize and pay the extra money? I hunt a lake and usually deploy a spread about 2 to 3 dozen mallards pintails teal and shovlers. Should I buy Ghg progrades life size or oversize compared to the hot buys.

Hunter Hall, I would suggest if you are wanting to really increase the size of your spread, that you go with the Hot-Buy Mallards. They don't cost too much and you can really increase the size of your spread with the decoys. I love the Pro-Grades though. The paint schemes are second to none and you can't beat the durability. Honestly, start with what you need and then continue to upgrade.
I hope this info helps and hope you have a great season!! Please contact me if you have any more questions!!

I re-repainted 3- 4 dzn dekes after last season. I told myself when I started out that I was just going to touch up and move on. I'd done this chore before and I KNEW it was more work than I really wanted to do. Well, before too long, I was doing the whole bunch from scratch. 'Bout half of theses are Hot Buys and the rest is 2-3 other brands. I can say that the hot buys are easier than some other brands. But I think I'm done with repaints.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't get a dime more than what I paid for these in spite of the work I put in. Makes me kind of think it wasn't worth the effort. Next time around, I'll unload these and buy new. Plastic decoys have just become too inexpensive to bother fixing. Maybe if these were up grades it would be worthwhile.
Now I have to decide if the Canada floaters I started are worth finishing. I have some time to decide-I painted dekes in weather like this (triple digits) once before and it was awful-the paint dries in the airbrush before you can get it on the deke or it's so thin it takes 4 coats.
A single duck is obvious and easily explained.
Three or more is a flock and is logical and understandable.
But two are always a paradox.

Eunoia continues to expand
FAIRMONT – The need for mental health services in the Fairmont area is clear looking at the growth Eunoia Family Resource Center has experienced since Dr. Ramie Vetter founded the clinic five years ago.
In 2011, he hired a second psychologist to join him, Dr. Emily Ovrebo, and then in 2012, when Eunoia relocated to a larger site, Vetter added a third psychologist to help meet demand.
Dr. Scott Dugan is new to Fairmont, but not southern Minnesota. He previously worked for Sioux Trails Mental Health Center in St. Peter, which is where he met Ovrebo and how he learned that Eunoia was looking for another therapist.
Dugan knew from a young age that he wanted a career in health care. At 2 years old, he would cart his Fischer Price medical bag everywhere he went, with dreams of becoming a doctor. Not until his own experience with therapy as a teenager did he think about going into mental health.
"A pre-med chemistry course helped determine medical school might not be the best option," he said, laughing.
With his interest in the liberal arts, he felt psychology was a better fit, so he completed his undergraduate schooling with degrees in psychology and history, from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. After working as a social skills trainer for people with severe and persistent mental illness, and then a case manager for individuals with developmental disabilities, he returned to school to further his training, graduating from the University of Denver as a doctor of psychology.
Dugan works with patients age 5 through adults. His expertise includes evaluations using the Marschak Interactive Method, which looks at the interaction between two parties, typically a caretaker and child, based on four levels of relationship: engagement, nurturance, structure and challenge.
"It's not a standardized psychological test," he said, but by assigning the two people a variety of tasks, he is able to observe, take notes and evaluate where the relationship needs work.
The Marschak method, or MIM, is an example of the practical aspect of psychology.
"Psychology today is trying to get across to the public that we're not reading people's minds," Dugan said.
As a therapist, Dugan has a laid-back approach: He doesn't assign homework or make his patients journal. He expects them to talk to him about what's on their mind, live their lives between sessions, and apply his advice as they see fit.
"A common metaphor I use is that I'm their coach and their cheerleader," he said. "I help them develop a game plan, and they have to go play it. When the plays go well, I cheer them on."
Dugan and his wife, Angela, who is also a psychologist, live in North Mankato with their 2-year-old daughter.

Nutiva, Organic Shelled Hempseed
Posted by Reviewer1305774 on Apr 15, 2008
This product is fabulous. I have more energy because of the high protein content plus having the benefits of the Omegas 3, 6, 9 in the hemp hearts. I took the hemp hearts, because I was not getting enough protein in my diet. I did not want to eat more red meat, but I require a lot of protein. The hemp hearts eliminated my protein deficiency. However, hemp hearts are best eaten early in the day, since I found I had too much energy at night and had trouble falling asleep. I corrected that by eating them in the AM. A great, great product.
Healthy and tasty
Posted by Reviewer3252571 on Apr 16, 2008
I ordered these out of curiosity because I was reading about the benefits. I must admit it seemed an odd thing to be eating. They are very tasty and great as a topper on salads.
Very yummy
Posted by Reviewer1676014 on May 07, 2008
It's so good we just ordered a 5 lb bag! I'm just figuring out how many things I can put it on

Great product, great price.
Delicious and nutritious

Three tablespoons of hempseed contains 11 grams of protein. A very easy way to get protein into the diet. I sprinkle on salads, buttered whole grain crackers, etc.
Posted by Reviewer2778741 on Apr 05, 2011
Tastes good.
Posted by Reviewer2499991 on Apr 06, 2011
Great product!
Sweet! :)
Posted by Reviewer1727724 on Apr 12, 2011
Love hempseeds! Great price!
Tastes Great
Posted by Reviewer1029595 on Apr 12, 2011
I put a few tablespoons of this hemp seed along with some Parmesan cheese on top of a veggie pasta for some extra protein and flavor. Love it!
