Being a woman has its up's but we all know that it has plenty of downs or "bummers" if you will. One of those not so fun things is our PERIOD! I know that I don't like mine at all. Lets face it ladies there is nothing fun about it. Its annoying, painful, embarrassing and MESSY. That being said I was introduced to the Diva Cup but the amazing woman that invented it.
I cant tell you just how this little thing has changed the way that I look at having my period, when I received it I was actually excited to get my period so that I could use it. What it is, is a small cup with a stem and is inserted as you would a tampon. I have a video below that explains more and demonstrates too. (its actually really embarrassing and I know I ramble but I did it just for you!!!)
I know that you will love the Diva cup as much as I do, so please check out Diva Cup online-facebook and twitter.

Board receives annual HUNT report
ALPENA- The Huron Undercover Narcotics Team has had its ups and downs this past year, but through the tribulation the dedicated officers continue to fight crime and battle drugs in Northeast Michigan.
Under the direction of Commander Frank Keck the team is looking to put past controversies behind it and continue its mission of making the region safer.
On Monday Keck issued HUNT's annual report for 2012 activity to Alpena Municipal Council. He told council members that the undercover officers had played a role in many large crime events, including the tracking and capture of a pair of criminals for a string of breaking and entering crimes and assaulting a 73-year-old woman while committing one of the burglaries. Keck said HUNT has also helped to bring down a pair of local meth labs.
The team initiated 168 new investigations in 2012 and of those, 100 were drug related. Keck said marijuana was still the most common drug located and confiscated, but the most serious issue in terms of drugs locally are the rampant use of prescription narcotics, but meth is becoming a larger issue as well.
"Right now the number one threat is prescription drugs because they are readily available, but we are making some positive moves to get with the doctors in the area and letting them know when people are being arrested for these things," Keck said. "The methamphetamines are an up-and-coming trend. If you look at where the labs have been located the last 10 years they were in Southwest Michigan, which is the hub, and worked their way all the way up to Traverse City and across to the east side of the state.
"Every year we are seeing more and more of these things, now the labs are easier to build. Anyone can do it. Someone can get the information online how to build the lab and buy what they need in a local store."
Last year HUNT seized $528,724 worth of drugs in Alpena, Alcona, Montmorency and Presque Isle counties.That is a decrease from 2011 when $856,670. Keck said part of the reason the numbers are down is because there have been reduction to the team's manpower. Last year Alpena pulled an officer from the unit, as well as Presque Isle. He said the state added an additional trooper to help and overall his team is being very successful with what it has available to it.
"I think we are going in a positive direction. We have a new sergeant on the team and we will still have the Alpena Police Department and Montmorency County on board and I haven't talked to anyone in law enforcement who isn't supportive of HUNT and its mission," Keck said. "These guys that are here are fantastic. They know what their job is and they have the passion to go out and do it. They are motivated to get out there and get this done and to keep the people of Northeast Michigan safe and the community drug free.

Ana Luisa Mendoza
Maria, I can understand your concern and believe me, I have been in your shoes. I got a C in the same exact class when I took it in my undergrad career as a Electrical Engineering major, and I am still very successful in my current career as a System Engineer. Getting a C will not preclude you from doing well in your career because you can still come back from that situation. Keep yourself with a positive attitude and think that you are investing in your future now and will be done with this in a few years.
As far as Higher level education, I can tell you that in my opinion, I would actually go ahead and graduate and get a Job with a company that would pay for your Masters Degree. Wait to gain some experience first and then time will determine what expertise you need to go and pursue. This is what I did and I have no regrets. I didn't pay a penny for my masters degree in System Engineering.
Ana Luisa
I myself am an electrical engineer and always had interest in other fields. One of my interests was always dancing and translating from different languages. I also knew that there were other careers that I wanted to explore, like engineering. I just never knew what type of engineering field I wanted to pursue. I did some research and figured out that either computer or electrical engineering were the fields for me.
Definitely it sounds by what you are describing that engineering is something you should explore. The fact that you like math and are good in science is a good indicator that engineering is for you. The type of engineering good for you is something you have to explore based on your likes for the gadgets and things around you. For example, are you good with computers or do they even interest you? Do you like electronics and knowing how they work? If you answer yes to these two questions then you should think of either computer or electrical engineering or even computer science. Sometimes even If you are not curious of how things work, or if you don't want to take things apart, that doesn't determine whether you will be good at engineering. There are lots of engineering fields which don't require you to take things apart.
If you like bridges and architectures and how they are built or how you can make them stronger, then you should consider architectural or civil engineering. If you like Chemistry and how to mix components, or are interested in how make-up is made, then you should consider chemical or industrial engineering. If you like biology there are lots of options for you in the engineering field, like bio-engineering and other fields related to this area. The best thing for you to do at this point is to do some research online about the different engineering fields available out there and you will see there are so many options for you to consider.
I do advise you to look into engineering as a career. It is a rewarding career and also an investment in your future.
Ana Luisa Ramirez
Definitely a lot of people go through that same state of mind. Sometimes they wonder what it is that they are going to do once they enter college. A lot of people struggle with Math and Science and definitely if that is something that comes easy to you, then take advantage of it. You are fortunate to be in this position and I know a lot of people that I mentor who have a hard time understanding math and Science or sometimes one or the other.
Engineering is definitely not easy but I will tell you this, nothing in life comes easy and you are going to have to sacrifice your time while in college because all of us do it and it pays off great rewards. While I was in college, I was working full time. First I worked at a bank as teller and then I worked in a real estate company. I was also taking a full load in school and volunteering a lot helping other people like you and encouraging them to enter the engineering field. Through my work, I have also met some high school students who maintain a perfect GPA and still have time to do sports and volunteer and even work. This is a very heavy load, but I have full confidence in you and know that you are going to do great and will be able to manage it. We need lots of engineers so that our technology doesnt paralyze and we have creative people making the world a better place for all of us. Dont hesitate to ask me any questions when in doubt.

Forget Black Friday, the danger is Black Wednesday
The Columbus Dispatch - November 23, 2013 05:24 PM
We all know about Black Friday and the shopping deals that come with it on the day after Thanksgiving.
But what about what Progressive Insurance calls Black Wednesday? That's the day when many of us will be traveling to visit family and friends.
It's also a day that can be dangerous on the roads.
Progressive compared claims data on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving last year to other Wednesdays between the hours of 8 p.m. and 3 a.m.
It found at 24 percent increase in parking and rear-end accidents, a 17 percent increase in claims in which one vehicle struck another and a 14 percent in claims in which a vehicle hit public or private property.

nice Norma. Looks like a boomerang you could throw into my mouth!!
pignolius ,Thanks! I didnt think about the pizza looking like a bommerang, but now that you mentioned it, I also think it does look like a bommerang. Norma
I borrowed from my German background for this pizza tart. I thought maybe some folks would spot it's heritage. Speckzelten (speckplatz) was a tradition in my house growing up. I know my mom and grandmother didn't use a homemade BBQ sauce and Manchego cheese in theirs but I think they might have liked it. Don
I think it looks more like one of those 'Ninja's Throwing Stars'"Hiiii yaaa!!!
Jimmy,Could be. Norma
I could show you my ninja skills by catching it in my mouth! CL
Craig,I just might take you up on your ninja catching skills with your mouth next Friday! It wont be my fried pizza, but I have something else in mind that isnt round either, but it is related to pizza.Norma
That's the look on my face when you start throwing food at me.

Easter Week 2012April 2nd, 2012
Isaiah 50:4-9a
4The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens— wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. 5The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. 6I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. 7The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; 8he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. 9It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?
Psalm 31: 9-16
9Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also.
10For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
11I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
12I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
13For I hear the whispering of many— terror all around!— as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
14But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
15My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
16Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.
Philippians 2:5-11
5Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, 7but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, 8he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. 9Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Mark 15: 1-47
As soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 2Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so." 3Then the chief priests accused him of many things. 4Pilate asked him again, "Have you no answer? See how many charges they bring against you." 5But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was amazed.
6Now at the festival he used to release a prisoner for them, anyone for whom they asked. 7Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom. 9Then he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?" 10For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed him over. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. 12Pilate spoke to them again, "Then what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?" 13They shouted back, "Crucify him!" 14Pilate asked them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him!" 15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.
16Then the soldiers led him into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. 17And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him. 18And they began saluting him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 19They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him. 20After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
21They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. 22Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). 23And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. 24And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots to decide what each should take.
25It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him. 26The inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews." 27And with him they crucified two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. 29Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30save yourself, and come down from the cross!" 31In the same way the chief priests, along with the scribes, were also mocking him among themselves and saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also taunted him.
33When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 35When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah." 36And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down." 37Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. 38And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"
40There were also women looking on from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41These used to follow him and provided for him when he was in Galilee; and there were many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
42When evening had come, and since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44Then Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for some time. 45When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. 46Then Joseph bought a linen cloth, and taking down the body, wrapped it in the linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was laid.

High winds trigger downed trees, brush fires
Powerful winds raked through the Tri-Lakes area Thursday, toppling trees into power lines and sparking at least two small brush fires.
The Bloomingdale Volunteer Fire Department responded to multiple calls due to the high winds Thursday afternoon, according to Mike Cassavaugh, the department's second assistant chief.
The first call was for a report of a large tree blocking both lanes of state Route 3, near the Saranac Lake school bus garage. Cassavaugh said a town of St. Armand crew had cleared the tree and reopened the road to traffic by the time the department arrived on scene.
Around 3 p.m., a second call came in for a report of a power line down near the intersection of Goldsmith Road and Route 3 in the town of Franklin. Cassavaugh said the exposed power line triggered a small grass and brush fire along Goldsmith Road. It burned a 30-by-100-foot area before it was extinguished by three members of the department, he said.
As they were headed back to the fire station, Bloomingdale firefighters were called out to Alder Brook Road, where a tree had toppled into a telephone line. It was initially reported as a downed power line, and a National Grid crew showed up to clear the tree from the road. Firefighters stood by and directed traffic, Cassavaugh said.
Another fire department truck was dispatched to county Route 26, Loon Lake Road, around the same time for a report of multiple trees across the road. Firefighters found nothing and returned to the station.
While they were at the station, Cassavaugh said a passerby reported that the fire on Goldsmith Road was burning again. The department sent a truck back to the scene to douse the area with water again.
"You could say we had a busy afternoon," Cassavaugh said.
Tupper Lake Volunteer Fire Department members were also called to a wildland fire sparked by downed power lines at the Trading Post campground in Fish Creek, according to a post on the department's Facebook page. Firefighters responded with one truck and secured the scene until National Grid could turn off the power. Firefighters then wet down the area before returning to their station.

Audie Award Finalist, Humor, 2014
From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new collection of essays taking his listeners on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.
©2013 David Sedaris (P)2013 Hachette Audio
"Sedaris is the preeminent humorist of his generation." (Entertainment Weekly)
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Devout Fan Disappointed"
When I discovered David Sedaris I was elated, devouring everything he'd written, preferably in audio format so I could enjoy his delivery. He is a witty genius exploring life experiences for humorous, thought provoking, and snarky effect.
This book however produced fewer laugh-out-loud moments instead turning out the occasional chuckle and a few smiles. Listening is like visiting an old friend who doesn't have much new to share; maybe the well is dry for now. A full length book should have been replaced with an article or two in the New Yorker.
The transition music was long and eerie, not in keeping with the tone for the content. Also, his delivery wasn't as fervent and immediate as in earlier performances.
Still love David, and am not frustrated I used my credit. My advice to those who enter is this...don't expect the same initial high from his earlier work and enjoy the nostalgia. His body of work is phenomenal and am hopeful for future writings.
I value intelligent stories with characters I can relate to. I can appreciate good prose, but a captivating plot is way more important.
"Always a Sedaris fan, but this isn't his best"
Frankly I would listen to David Sedaris reading a grocery list. His storytelling is superb, and even when he's not bringing his A-game, he's still phenomenal.
That being said, this book wasn't particularly memorable. And if you're new to Sedaris, I'd recommend looking elsewhere first.
"He Not Talk So Pretty"
The first time I heard Sedaris, I thought I was listening to the funniest, most clever and original humorist since the early years of George Carlin and Steve Martin, whose live performances had you leaning on complete strangers to help support your racked-with-laughter body to keep you off the floor. Forget polite sophisticated chuckles--these were open-mouthed, tears down your cheeks, ugly-faced guffaws. You never finished a drink before the carbonation went flat...you knew there'd not be even one safe second to swallow before an explosive laugh might send that sparkly beverage spraying out your nose. Sedaris even had the added unique ability to get you laughing at those never before funny, tough memories we all share--those growing up rights of passage moments that elicit laughter through tears. He was (and is) that good at observing life and the ridiculous humor in the everyday.
Maybe I've lost my funny bone, but it seemed like something was missing with this latest collection. I never felt the urge to rewind and listen again, and at times found myself giving an obligatory chuckle out of respect for a comedic genius that has shared better comedy. He is still observant and witty; several of the pieces were great, but there was not much that seemed new and crisp, nothing to catch you off guard and slap you silly. There's a dusty air of reflection, even melancholy, in a few of the pieces that set a tone that stayed with me, in spite of some sunnier funnier bits. But then, maybe unfairly, I always compare his latest to his greatest, the one that had me afraid to drink a Coke even alone at home--Me Talk Pretty One Day; several guffaws better that hooting it up here with the owls.
Fans of Sedaris will still enjoy this, and will probably get plenty of laughs that make it worth the price of admission. Anything that can lift our spirits, give us a little enjoyment, and make us smile is worthwhile, afterall. *Worth mentioning: not a great or consistent production. As usual, there are live bits which you expect to be a little tougher to listen to, but even the studio recorded pieces are tinny and inferior.
Always moving. Always listening. Always learning. "After all this time?" "Always."
"Good for the Bleak Hours"
I'm a habitual insomniac. Every weekday, I wake up about 2:30 am, obsessing about things that happened earlier in the week, the month, the year, or even the decade. I can usually fall back asleep in 10 or 15 minutes, but not always. Those are my bleak hours, and David Sedaris has eased some of them.
It's not that "Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls" (2013) helped me fall back to sleep. It didn't. For the last six months, every time I listened to something with the idea that it would be the Audible equivalent of Ambien, I put Willkie Collins "The Woman in White" (1859) on sleep timer. In the grand tradition of Victorian writers, Collins relies heavily on intricate descriptions, lengthy foreshadowing, and post-drama discussions amongst friends and neighbors. It's totally possible to drift off after a few minutes of listening and not miss a thing.
"Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls" takes the dark obsessions that come to life when the house slumbers, turns them on their side, and makes them funny. Worried about the garbage accumulating in your neighborhood? Turn yourself into a one person trash collector listening to "Rubbish". Missing your first love and wondering what if, and what could have been? Listen to "A Man Walks into a Bar Car". You just had your 50th birthday and those friendly by terribly persistent people at your HMO are insisting that it's time for a colonoscopy? "Happy Place" makes the whole procedure a hoot. It's very difficult to take obsessions seriously when you're laughing at them.
My favorite quote from the book? "Their house had real hard-cover books in it, and you often saw them lying open on the sofa, the words still warm from being read."
Sedaris is a raconteur, and this collection of essays is really best as a listen.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
"Started out great....but fizzled"
This book starts out funny and witty in wonderful Sedaris style, but then gets very political. I turn off the TV to get away from all the different view points. I barely made it to the end.
Books have always been an escape for me: initially from my studies, now from too much work. A good story is my favorite remedy.
"Another great set of essays by one of the best"
David Sedaris' own narration is incredible. I cannot imagine anyone delivering this work any better
...some amusing, some side-splitting, all thought-provoking.
Audible brings the printed word to vibrant life. It's such fun to listen while driving or doing the chores.
"Prescription for The Blues"
I read this book after a day of thwarted effort, and it was a perfect escape, a pleasurable dive into David Sedaris's quirky, sharply observed, and often hilarious world.
Audiobooks offer a more intimate, warmer reading experience than the printed page, and Mr. Sedaris's work is a perfect fit for Audible. He performs well, and possesses the gift of mimicry, and hearing him read his own writing heightens the reading experience for the listener, makes it more immediate and alive.
I also like the musical stings that set up each essay reading in the audiobook, but the sound capture on some of the live performance segments wasn't very good. Not a show-stopper but I don't need to hear a audience clapping or laughing to find a given segment funny.
The audio may enhance the work, but the content is what really draws you in and holds you. Mr. Sedaris takes the humdrum and turns it into an opportunity to learn, to observe an unfolding cultural narrative. The simple act of standing in line to board a plane becomes a broad comedy of social manners; his interaction with a telemarketer from a far-away place launches him into an unexpected and poignant story about white privilege in the American south.
Mr. Sedaris writes about personal stuff, but never self-indulgently. Coming of age, his troubles with addiction, his personal obsessions, all are inputs into his essays. But his writing makes them so much more than personal family anecdotes: they have the ring of familiarity, of a universal cultural experience, especially for baby boomers.
Many of us recognize The Father who can only criticize and challenge and sometimes beat the son, and, more broadly, the struggle to communicate that exists in families. He also explores the enormous power that families have to define us, to give meaning to our lives.
Mr. Sedaris comments about his lifelong daily diarizing habit as recording life rather than living it. But his voice is that of someone watching in puzzlement and appreciation, not judgment or a sense of aggrievement.
My favourite essays in the book involve his everyday experience as an American abroad, where ordinary errands become adventures in cultural and social exploration.
At times, the humour is laced with empathy. At other times, the author employs more edgy satire. This is especially apparent in the essays at the end, where he skewers the politics of hatred and bigotry, taking the idea to absurd extremes. I found these stories less interesting because I think they are pure imagination, rather than grounded in observation and experience. Similarly, his dog poems, like the title itself, seemed contrived to me, and this is why I gave this wonderful book a rating of 4 instead of 5.
Since I buy David Sedaris's books not for their titles, but for his unique voice, his wonderful storytelling, comic timing, and brilliant turns of phrase--and I'm still laughing about his description of Australia as "Canada in a thong"--I'd highly recommend "Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls".
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Let's explore HOOTers with diabetics."
While I enjoyed this collection more than Sedaris' previous book 'Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk', it just didn't rise to the levels of his great collections ('Naked' or 'Me Talk Pretty Someday'), or even his very good collections ('When You Are Engulfed in Flames' or 'Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim'). I just feel like he is retreading the same ground, picking up the same litter, and is starting that phase in his career where he is like a band from the 80s that isn't creating as much as exploiting his better work.
I hope I am being overly pessimistic, and maybe I am just jaded from the horrible audio experience my wife and I had last night listening to him at Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, AZ, but it seems that the reading typified my feelings about his book. Sedaris was reading to a comfortable group in comfortable shoes, reading comfortable stories. We all laughed at the appropriate parts, we all knew what we expected and David Sedaris delivered the goods -- mostly.
The audio quality wasn't great, but I walked away mostly amused that I somehow ended up parting with 1 credit at Audible, $15 bucks on Amazon, $45 for a live reading, and while mildly entertained ... I wasn't particularly blown away. It was like I was a beer-bellied, middle-aged man at a Journey concert. I figure I didn't pay for the new set, just for the couple hours of nostalgia at how great it was ten or twenty years ago. Now, I've just got to figure out now how much nostalgia will cost me tomorrow.

"A Random Assortment Of Odd Stories"
It's not very often that I finish a book and realize that I'm not exactly sure what I read. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first picked up a David Sedaris book. But after finish Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls I feel as though I got just a small glimpse into his rambling mind. Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls is a novel that has nothing to do with anything. It's a random assortment with almost no cohesion of essays that David Sedaris has written over the years.
If you enjoy a dry witty sense of humor like I do you will find this an enjoyable read. If that isn't your cup of tea or your not already a fan of David Sedaris you probably will want to steer clear of this one. Out of the many essays that are in this compilation very few actually resonated with me past reading them. It's the sort of book that I enjoyed almost all of it but nothing had the lasting power that I was hoping for when picking up this book.
For me Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls is one of the oddest compilations I've read. I've had such little exposure to David Sedaris in the past that jumping into this novel felt like I was going into the deep end. I never quite figured out what was going on but I at least enjoyed the ride while it lasted.
"Gem Collection"
Fans of David Sedaris rejoice--this is his best collection of essays since "Me Talk Pretty One Day"--at least in the humble opinion of this reviewer. Sedaris is in top form here on topics ranging from airline travel to the pitfalls of foreign language instruction (Japanese, German, Chinese) to the casual everyday cruelty of children--and of adults, for that matter. The tone is in turn poignant and sarcastic, and always unflinchingly honest.
Sedaris' humor has an edge to it and he doesn't spare himself from its blade, but he unfailingly finds the comedy in his experiences and invites us to do the same. His turn of phrase manages to state truths while at the same time being very funny--one example I can't get out of my head is his observation that Americans see Australians as "Canadians in a thong."
While one or two of the essays had a familiar ring to them (perhaps from a version appearing on an episode of This American Life?), the material is almost all new as far as I can tell.
Sedaris' deadpan delivery style greatly enhances the listening experience--this is certainly an instance where the audio surpasses the print version. Highly recommended!

The Coach's Perspective
First off, I cant explain how satisfied I am with the final results of Matt's performance on Saturday. I dont spend a whole lot of time on MMA forums, but occasionally I do glance at those and the odds. And to say that nobody except his most true supporters thought he would win is vary fair to say. That stuff serves as great fodder for me. When I saw this, my conviction to find a holes in Almeida was even more sustained (if possible). Especially when I believe that Matt could be on top of the MMA world again, if he chose to train his striking all year round. I truly believe in the power of intent!
That first section almost sounded like I dictated the win, and thats not the case. I just read Matt's blog from a couple entries ago. He stated that he thought he has the best corner in the world. It might come off arrogant, but I truly believe this. Partially cause I have tons of confidence in my experience and knowledge. But look at who's on my side, Jeremy Horn. Horn is the ultimate fan, student, practitioner, and teacher of MMA. Our third man, Robbie Lawler... Many people out there have no idea how valuable Robbie Lawler is to a team, unless you have shared the workout room with him. His knowledge and discipline for the sport will not be understood, unless you've had the time to work with him. I could go on for days about Rob, but wont to keep this short. Ok, one last sentence. His presence alone exudes positive energy and confidence, it's contagious. You have us at the helm, calling plays for the an amazing athlete and Hall of Famer, Matt Hughes.
People ask me all the time, what we tell each other right when Hughes gives us a hug before he steps into the ring. Usually we are trying to make sure he understands that the octagon is still HIS cage. At times, we are simplifying the game. "Its a simple game of controlling space, see it and hit it". The part that always, catches me by surprise, even though I hear it every time. He replies, "Talk to me in there". The amazing part is, he is so relaxed and composed amid a fight with 20,000 to 30,000 screaming people, that he can actually hear us.
Jeremy and I watch so many videos leading up to a fight. We are looking for tendencies, positions were we think the fight will be. That front headlock position and the submission was something that Jeremy and Matt worked on the week of the fight. The left hook was something I was calling for during the fight. If you go back to the tape you will see the feints that Almeida was doing was making Matt sit pretty heavy on his front foot. Most will take your leg out or hit you with straight rights, but Almeida did neither effectively. When your on that front foot you can get tons of power out of a left hook. Thats why I was calling for it. But again, you can have the best talkers in the game with around you. Its meaningless if you dont have one of the best do'ers in the game to execute. His poise is truly impressive. In the face of so many doubters, this has to be the most satisfying performance of Matt's that I've been cageside for. I dont know if I successfully conveyed my thoughts, but I love and have the ultimate confidence in our team.
My mom told me that she has never seen Matt smile so big after a fight. I will tell you all like I told her. He was probably laughing at me. You see, after Matt got his first stoppage by striking against Renzo, on the way back to the locker room, I told him I should get a gun for that. He laughed and said, depends which one. This time before we started working, we made a deal that if he KO's or drops Almeida before finishing the fight that I would get a .308. Then he let Horn in on the deal saying that if he gets a submission, that Horn would get a .308. So right when the referee stopped the fight, he looked over in our corner. Im crouched with two fingers up, yelling, "TWO GUNS BABY". He found this to be quite funny, (which we imitated in the locker room later). And he has quite a bit to be happy about!
Matt looked fantastic with every moment, from his confidence entering the octagon to the run at Almeida when he was knocked on his butt to finish him off. The way he executed that choke spoke of his experience using it prior to this fight; it's like he instinctively knew how to sink it in and just did it as second nature.
I love that people who hate on Matt expect him to lose and he proves them wrong time and time again. He is still evolving as an mma fighter and a big part of that is his corner and training partners.
Hooray for everyone who helped with this victory!
+++++++++++ infinity!:laugh:
Ahh!! I totally shed a tear when you put how the Octagon is still his cage!!! So true!!!
He does have the best corner ever!! I am so glad you were calling the left!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective as a trainer/friend... You guys are awesome!!
I agree with your mom. His smile was so big!!:) It was also so contagious!!!
PLEASE keep posting like this, Matt. This is so great to hear your point of view and insight.
I've always been amazed while watching Matt's fights when you can hear you, Jeremy or Robbie calling stuff to Matt and you see him respond.
In one of the interviews it was funny to hear him say he heard you guys calling for the hook for a couple seconds and was just waiting for the spot to throw it.
I went back on a couple websites early Sunday and started reading peoples predictions and it felt so good to see them all so far off.
People are going to really start fear Matt's striking. As they should
Great work to you and the team!
Awesome writeup. It was great to see how happy everyone was as Matt headed over to you guys. Pretty sure I heard "two guns" come through on the PPV. Congratulations you guys, you did an amazing job.
Thanks for all of the Matt. We do not usually get insight like that into the fights and that was an awsome read. Keep it up!
Mr. Pena, this has to be why you're such a good coach. You give all credit where it is due, even to yourself. Modesty can some times cripple performace and I like to know that a guy I thinks the best, thinks the same. You also know that in your team, everyone has a certain job at certains times, and they all do it well. If you half as articulate and detailed in your coaching as you are in your writing, this explains a lot. Keep it up. War Pena, Lawler, Horn, Hughes, and Fiore!
And did anyone else see that giddy grin and hop that Matt did when he turned his corner after the Rogan interview. I loved it :w00t:
You all are a great corner no doubt

"It's the most wonderful time of the year".....nope; I'm not talking about Christmas, or going back to school.......I'm talking about that time of year when the garden is sleeping......but now is the BEST time to pine over all the gardening catalogs that are coming in the mail nearly as often as the Victoria's Secret catalog!!! Here are just a few that have arrived in my mailbox over the past couple of weeks.
Totally Tomatoes http://www.totallytomato.com/ I found this site last summer after it was too late to order, but I got on their mailing list......don't let the name fool you, all vegetables are represented in this catalog but if you want tomatoes this will interest you....well worth taking a look at.
Select Seeds is another catalog that came recently, this company has some great varieties of heirloom plants and seeds. I will definitely be ordering for my vertical gardening project this spring, but that is another post!!!! Burpee came in the mail this week....they are reliable and good for basic stuff. I have ordered seeds from them in year's past and was happy with the results.
Last but not least is Plants Delight Nursery and their 2012 Spring Sales Catalog arrived....this is almost as exciting as the release of the newest Christopher Radko Christmas ornament catalog. This publication requires total concentration and focus in order to decide what I will add to my perennial beds for 2012. There are several new selections the sparked my attention "Tangerine Dream Coneflower " http://www.plantdelights.com/Echinacea-Tangerine-Dream-PP-21773-Tangerine-Dream-Coneflower/productinfo/8878/ I do love a coneflower and this one is a beautiful orange, that is fragrant which is a plus......and "Sierra Madre Perennial Cardinal Flower" http://www.plantdelights.com/Lobelia-laxiflora-var-angustifolia-Sierra-Madre-Perennial-Cardinal-Flower/productinfo/9627/ it's another plant that has that candy corn look going on and for some reason I cannot get enough of that. Now the only thing left to do is plan the gypsy gardeners annual spring garden weekend!!!!!
Stay tuned, I'm sure that there will be more catalogs worth talking about......it's a great time of year to ponder, plan, and dream about what you will do in your dirt for 2012!!!!

Monday and Tuesday were both painful and sleepless days. Monday I finally fell asleep at 6am. Yes, I was up all night and fell asleep the next morning. My legs felt like a five alarm fire and I squirmed around alot in my bed. By the time Tuesday rolled around my internal clock was way off due to having about six hours of total sleep since Friday. On Wednesday I started my first day of work at my new job.
It is now Friday evening. I just got back from the gym and did my first weight lifting workout in over a week. I did not do anything with the legs. My left leg feels perfect. It only suffered some minor abrasions, although I was picking broken glass out of it for several hours after the wreck. My right leg got the worst of it. As if the cuts from the airbag, windshield, and dashboard weren't enough, let's toss a fully grown man on top of it. It looks like Freddy Kreuger's face, and feels like Freddy slashed it with his claws. Almost all of the original layer of skin is gone, and the layers that were scraped off went pretty deep. Wednesday I took the bandages off for good, and the wound has started to scab over. Nice huh? The skin has grown very tight around the wound and has limited the flexibility of my leg. I am hoping that the scar tissue will have more elasticity and I can regain my full range of motion. Other than that there is still a little bit of swelling, although not nearly as much as earlier in the week.
As the days go by I will be able to assess a good starting point for running again. Until today, I have been walking with a noticeable limp. If I sit for a long period of time I have a harder time walking then if I have been up and about for a while. Once I'm on my feet things start to feel better quickly. That being said, it may be another week until I can walk normally. Perhaps after that I may start doing some light eliptical workouts, or swim when the pools open. Honestly, I think it will be two to three more weeks before I consider even a light jog. Thankfully with my new job and the return of some of my best friends Iwill be able to fill my new found time with plenty of fun.

Renown takes responsibility in providing medical care for women's health.
From breast health to gynecology, we have you covered.
In addition, our exercise and nutrition tips can help you live healthy.
We have two locations that provide a full range of services. Whether you are seeking an annual check-up and routine Pap smear, pregnancy care or menopause management we welcome women of all ages.
If you are already expecting a child or hoping to become pregnant, you will find the comprehensive care you need. For expectant mothers, OB/GYN doctors offer complete prenatal services designed to ensure the health and well-being of mom and baby.
Our physicians are experienced in the latest treatments and medical technologies, including:
For women with conditions including uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, cervical incompetence and ovarian cysts we provide minimally invasive procedures that offer our patients:
To schedule an appointment, call us at 775-982-5000.
Digital mammography has been proven to have an advantage in early detection of breast cancer. It uses digital detectors to produce an image faster than conventional methods, meaning you get results almost instantly.
To schedule a screening, call 775-982-8100.
The process is similar to a conventional screen-film mammogram wherein the technologist positions your breast from different angles and compresses it with a paddle to obtain optimal image quality.
If your mammogram shows you have dense breasts (less fatty, more connective tissue) you may want to consider SonoCiné in addition to your mammogram. Dense breast tissue shows up white on the mammogram as does cancer. As doctors explain, it's like trying to find a snowball in a snow storm.
Image A - Tiny cancers, which are white, are easily visible in fatty breasts, which show up dark on a mammogram.
Image B - Dense breast tissue shows up white on the mammogram. Cancers, which are also white, can be very hard to detect.
A SonoCiné whole breast ultrasound can provide early detection to those with dense breasts in a way that a mammogram alone may not.
Ask your doctor if you have dense breasts and if SonoCiné is right for you.
SonoCiné ultrasound does not require any radiation, breast compression or injections. The exam is painless and only takes about 30 minutes. Check with your insurance company to find out if SonoCiné screenings are covered. The cost is $125.

Owen Sound
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to highlight an important infrastructure project in my riding of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound.
Stimulus money is helping to erect a regional recreation centre that will serve the city of Owen Sound and surrounding communities. This state of the art facility will house two NHL-sized ice pads, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a running-walking track, a gymnasium, fitness centre and seniors facilities.
The Owen Sound and Area Family YMCA will now have a new facility to call home. I applaud the work that it does to promote healthy lifestyles in our community.
This fall I, along with the YMCA and the OHL west division leading Owen Sound Attack, will host the Conservative hockey team in a benefit hockey challenge to raise funds to help complete this terrific facility.
The new Owen Sound Regional Recreation Centre is a great example of how the stimulus package in our economic action plan is working to help communities like Owen Sound build important infrastructure that will be enjoyed and used for generations to come.
Holocaust Memorial Centre
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and pay tribute to the Government of Macedonia and the Jewish community and Holocaust fund of the Republic of Macedonia for their joint initiative, under the patronage of President Dr. Gjorge Ivanov, in inaugurating today a Holocaust Memorial Centre.
This centre will serve as a lasting memory to the 7,148 Jews from Macedonia who perished in the Shoah, onto each person there will be a name, an identity, reminding us that if someone saves a single life, it is as if he or she has saved an entire universe.
The Holocaust Memorial Centre will also bear witness to the long history of Macedonian and Balkan Jewry while promoting inter-religious and inter-ethnic understanding and co-operation in the region and beyond.
So, we members of this House join with them a common pledge: that never again will we be indifferent to racism and anti-Semitism; never again will we be silent in the face of evil; that we are each, wherever we are, in Macedonia or Canada, the guarantors of each other's destiny.
Chibougamau-Chapais Red Cross
Statements By Members
March 9th, 2011 / 2 p.m.
Yvon Lévesque Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, in honour of Red Cross Month, I would like to highlight the work of the team of volunteers at the Chibougamau-Chapais chapter in my riding, which has once again received an honour.
The team in Chibougamau-Chapais was awarded the 2010 Mention Or award for dedication by the Quebec division. This is the second year in a row that the chapter has won this particular award. Of the 97 local chapters in Quebec, the Chibougamau-Chapais chapter has been one of the most active thanks to the continued support of its volunteers. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage all the people in my riding, and also across Quebec and Canada, to invest in their communities and to work together for the common good.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I congratulate the Chibougamau-Chapais chapter of the Red Cross on its commitment and exemplary dedication.
Anti-Bullying Event
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be part of an anti-bullying flash mob event performed by students from my former high school, Lasalle Secondary School, led by teachers Camille Dupuis and Heather Boychuk.
The event was part of the "Pink Shirt Day" events taking place across Canada which encourage people to wear pink to show that we will not tolerate bullying in our schools or workplaces.
Unfortunately, far too many people in Canada are still victims of bullying. However, the fact that these students from Sudbury and thousands of others across the country are willing to stand up and say that enough is enough should give us all hope.
I would like to personally thank the organizations that helped to arrange the event: OPSEU locals 666 and 668, the Children's Aid Society, the Children's Community Network, the Children and Family Centre and, of course, the teachers and students at Lasalle who made this event so successful.
Together we can make bullying a thing of the past.
Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Rick Norlock Northumberland—Quinte West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure that I inform the House that this weekend, my home community of Warkworth, Ontario will be celebrating the 25th annual Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival.
We would not have this festival without George and Alice Potter, the owners of Sandy Flat Sugar Bush and producers of some of the world's finest maple sugar products this side of heaven.
There is so much to do and see. There is free parking and free transportation to the sugar bush. There is even an indoor mini-putt, antique show, plank races, nature walks, a petting zoo, log sawing contest, free taffy tasting and much more.
The village also offers speciality shopping, an experience people will be hard pressed to find anywhere else, and some of the finest art, artisans and crafts in this country will be on display this weekend.
The pièce de résistance is, of course, a mouth-watering pancake meal of locally produced pork sausage, topped off with fresh creamy butter and the Potter's award-winning maple syrup.
Members are all invited to attend the 25th anniversary of the Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival this weekend.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gerard Kennedy Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to request that all members here take note of the plight of Tibetan environmental philanthropist Karma Samdrup.
Mr. Samdrup is imprisoned by the Chinese government in Tibet on what Human Rights Watch says are dated and "trumped up charges". Mr. Samdrup defended his brothers and was jailed when they challenged local officials in an environmental dispute. There are credible reports that Mr. Samdrup has been tortured during his imprisonment.
In 2006, Mr. Samdrup was CCTV's philanthropist of the year in China and today he is one of several cases of human rights abuse that concern Tibetan Canadians who tomorrow are marking the 52nd anniversary of Tibetan Uprising Day when they lost their independence.
Members of Mr. Samdrup's family, who live in Toronto, are among the many people looking to us. It is vital that we as parliamentarians are vigilant and remain consistent in our support of human rights no matter where they are threatened. We call on China to treat Mr. Samdrup with all the respect his human rights deserve.
Income Splitting
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, in a few weeks, the House will be debating my private member's motion on income splitting, Motion No. 638.
Our government has cut taxes for families by an average of almost $3,000 annually but taxes are still the biggest single expense families face. I am proposing that, as our budget comes back into balance, the government give priority to income splitting for families with children. Income splitting would ensure fairness for families, as all families earning the same income would pay the same tax, regardless of the individual spousal income. Research estimates that income splitting will save 2.3 million Canadian families over $1,000 annually. That is more money Canadians can use for children's sports, summer camps and to save for post-secondary education.
I believe providing families with greater financial freedom through income splitting would create a brighter and more prosperous future for our nation. Canadians can learn more at my website www.familyincomesplitting.com.
Former Public Sector Integrity Commissioner
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates has learned more about how former public sector integrity commissioner Christiane Ouimet was hired, about her shoddy work and about the golden parachute she was given.
First, the Conservative government outright rejected 12 candidates for the position in favour of someone with ties to the Privy Council Office. By proceeding in this way, the government simply carried on the Liberal tradition of hiring close friends while ensuring that the commissioner would not get the Conservatives into trouble.
When she was hired in 2007, Ms. Ouimet was well aware of her mandate under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act. But once she became the commissioner, she also became the government's puppet and abandoned more than 200 public servants who had filed complaints and were waiting for justice.
Finally, the $500,000 golden parachute is nothing more than a Conservative government thank you to Ms. Ouimet for her sabotage.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, last week, the Minister of International Cooperation announced $30 million in aid for 15 development projects in Haiti.
One of the education projects put forth was by the Association Québecoise pour l'avancement des Nations-Unies. The project will build a vocational school in memory of New Brunswick RCMP sergeant, Mark Gallagher, who was killed in the Haiti earthquake.
While AQANU along with les Petites Soeurs de Sainte-Thérèse were the applicants, this effort would not have happened without the vision of Woodstock High School teacher, Richard Blaquiere, and the support of a strong local committee comprised of co-chair John Slipp and representatives from the riding of Tobique—Mactaquac, including the local RCMP, school district, New Brunswick Teachers' Federation, the Rotary Club, politicians of all stripes and, of course, Mark's family.
I want to thank the local committee for its vision and perseverance as we have worked together toward this milestone. While Mark Gallagher may have left this world, through this school his legacy of sacrifice above self will live on in our hearts for many years to come.
Israeli Apartheid Week
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ken Dryden York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, this is Israeli Apartheid Week. Universities are great places to discuss, debate and criticize and yet Israeli Apartheid Week often is not about discussion and debate. It is about intimidation and hate, where one voice overpowers and silences others and cuts them off.
Israel is not an apartheid state and yet if there is anything we have learned from the great slayer of South African apartheid, Nelson Mandela, conflict cannot be resolved with hate, because even if people do win they must live with one another. Living with one another is not just about talking, but listening; not just about knowing, but learning; not just about being right, but creating something better.
Our students have 60 or more years of their lives ahead of them. They will change Canada. They will create the global world of the future. It is time for students involved in Israeli Apartheid Week to move on to something worthy of all that is in them, something worthy of the future.
The really sad part of Israeli Apartheid Week is that our students and our universities can do much better.
Nutrition North Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Greg Rickford Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, this morning in Iqaluit the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the Minister of Health announced important adjustments to the nutrition north Canada program.
This government has listened to northerners, and we have taken action to ensure the successful transition to the nutrition north Canada program.
In order to ensure that northerners continue to have access to fresh, healthy and affordable foods, all food, as well as certain non-food items, will be temporarily returned to the list of products eligible for retail subsidy effective April 1. These adjustments to the nutrition north Canada program will be in place until the fall of 2012. During this transition period, our government will continue to work with the Nutrition North Canada External Advisory Board to address the concerns of northerners.
Our government is also continuing to explore ways to work with retailers and suppliers in transitioning to the new program. We look forward to the support and continued input of northerners.
Access to Medicines
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Megan Leslie Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, women and girls continue to be affected disproportionately by HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Better access to life-saving medicines would greatly benefit mothers and children living with HIV and AIDS, as well as help family members, particularly grandmothers caring for their grandchildren.
Bill C-393 proposes a one-licence solution that would greatly simplify the licensing process to export lower-cost generic medicines to developing countries.
I would like to recognize the support of this bill by the strong national network of grandmothers groups which seek to build solidarity, raise awareness and mobilize support in Canada for Africa's grandmothers. These women have built a strong two-way relationship that has proven to be a powerful challenge to a pharmaceutical industry that prioritizes profits over human rights, health, social and economic justice.
I hope that the actions of these grandmothers and of all women and girls working in solidarity with each other around the world will inspire the members of this House to pass Bill C-393.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, the hypocrisy displayed by the Bloc Québécois is appalling. The Bloc leader himself is the founding father of the tactic he is criticizing us for using.
Here is just one example: on July 15, 2004, before we were elected, the Bloc Québécois transferred $17,071.20 to the candidate for Québec. Just a few hours later, on July 16, 2004, that same candidate transferred $17,071.20 to the Bloc Québécois. What a coincidence. The money came in, then it went out.
Basically, the Bloc Québécois leader is trying desperately to trigger an election. While our economy is slowly recovering and Quebeckers in all regions are thinking about job creation and the economy, the Bloc leader wants an election at all costs.
Fortunately, the Quebec Conservatives are here to represent all regions of Quebec, not just Plateau Mont-Royal.
Amnesty International
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, this year, Amnesty International is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
This organization is dedicated to defending human rights around the world and today has 3 million members in more than 150 countries and territories on five continents.
During the first international meeting, delegates from Europe and the United States decided to found a permanent international movement in defence of freedom of opinion and religion. The organization's activities have expanded since then.
In 1977, Amnesty International was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for having contributed to securing the ground for freedom, for justice, and thereby also for peace in the world. Amnesty International also pushed for the creation of a permanent international criminal court, the principle of which was adopted by the United Nations in 1998.
I also want to commend the work done by the Amnesty International group at the Thérèse-Martin secondary school in Joliette to campaign for the repatriation of young Khadr. This agency's list of human rights initiatives is impressive and, by all accounts, the coming years will be just as busy.
The Bloc Québécois wishes Amnesty International a happy 50th anniversary.

Microsoft Corp. on Monday unveiled its motion-sensing game controller for the Xbox 360 video game console. The controller is based on a special RGB cam that tracks motions of gamers and does not resemble Nintendo Wii's Wiimote controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not reveal when the Natal is available and how much it will cost.
"Today with cultural visionaries at our side and controller-free gaming on our horizon, Xbox 360 authored a new page in home entertainment history. For us, this E3 is about breaking down barriers – between generations, between games and entertainment, and most important, between video game players and everyone else – in a way that only Xbox 360 can," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president for the interactive entertainment business at Microsoft.
Project Natal sensor is the world's first to combine an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone and custom processor running proprietary software all in one device. Unlike 2D cameras and controllers, Project Natal tracks full body movement in 3-D, while responding to commands, directions and even a shift of emotion in voice, Microsoft explained.
The Project Natal sensor is not light-dependent, it can recognize gamers just by looking at faces, and it does not just react to key words but understands what is said.
"The next step in interactive entertainment is to make the controller disappear. With 'Project Natal,' we'll see games that bring everyone together through technology that actually recognizes us," said Steven Spielberg, a well-known director and producer.
Regrettably, but Microsoft will not release Natal sensor in 2009, which is logical since there are no games to take advantage of the device. Pricing of the gadget is also unclear.

I've been eating sunflower seeds for 2 years including regular Bob's mill and Swanson's organic. I have to say this Now Foods sunflower seeds has the lowest quality among all of them.

Good quality. Use it for baking bread several times a week.
Fresh and flavorful
Posted by Reviewer2054091 on Aug 18, 2012
Love sunflower seeds. These are the freshest I've bought yet. I add them to bread for texture and calcium. I used them to make pesto in place of pine nuts. I also grind them and mix with yeast flakes, onion powder, garlic powder and mustard and for a good cheese substitute. My only concern is wishing I could find them organic.
Great Brand and Great Quality

Hi everyone. Sorry we couldn't get anyone to the Front of House meeting. We think it's really important that we attend because we love our space in the front room and would like to make it even more inviting when people enter. Hopefully next time we'll be more successful in turning up!
We had planned to have a discussion about expanding the library space during shifts and somewhat permanently. We've found a beautiful old trunk to display zines in (which will be put away after every shift) and have another trunk for book overspill - more people are collectivising books and we'd like to be able to let them all be displayed. This trunk would not be moved because it's too heavy so it would need to be beneath the leaflet board by the book shelf constantly.
This would mean we might have to move a table into the cafe during shifts and using the side wall where the book shelf cupboard is for the additional trunk and hat stand.
Would this be ok? Does anyone have any problems with this?
Sorry again for our lack of presence in the meeting,
Celia on behalf of OHB
