Mr. Speaker, on November 30, more than 100 artists from Quebec converged on Ottawa to condemn Bill C-32 on copyright. The expedition inspired internationally renowned lyricist Luc Plamondon, who was part of the protest. Here is an excerpt from his poem, which appeared in the media on Saturday:
We had a great trip to Ottawa-land
Hand in hand, heart in hand
The whole family was there, great and small
And I felt like the father of them all!
My God, it was swell!
In Parliament's halls
Our shouts shook the walls
'Til the fire alarm rang
And we cleared out again
How irate was our gang!
The Conservative cabal—
Moore and Harper et al—
Did not think to greet us
Or deign to talk to us
Or even to look at us
They answered with sneering
Our copyright querying
Taking industry's side
While claiming to protect the little guy
And that
Was our great trip to Canada!
That was by Luc Plamondon.

International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Candice Bergen Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, earlier this month, Christians all around the world gathered for the annual International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church to remember those Christians who face violence and oppression every day.
A recent Toronto Star article pointed out that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. For example, recently in Iraq, more than 50 people died when they were attacked at a church in Baghdad by an armed group called the Islamic State of Iraq.
In many countries, Christians face daily threats of murder, beating, imprisonment and torture, and a further 400 million encounter discrimination in areas such as jobs and housing. It is not acceptable that any religious group should face persecution, and it is not acceptable that 75% of all religious persecution in the world is directed against Christians.
We need to raise our voices for those who cannot speak, by informing the world of atrocities committed against Christians, and we need to honour their courage and their faith.
Human Rights

Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, Gilad Shalit, abducted during a ceasefire arrangement, has been held incommunicado in Hamas-ruled Gaza for over four years. Accordingly, we call upon the government to ensure that the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Quartet and humanitarian agencies uphold the relevant standards of humanitarian law, including proof of life, visitation rights and communications between him and his family, as a bare minimum.
More specifically, we call upon the government to work with the Israeli, French, American and German governments to secure the release of Gilad.
We ask that the Palestinian Authority join in these efforts; that Hamas be held accountable for its international criminality underpinned by its anti-Semitic charter; and that Canada use its good efforts to put an end to these violations of international humanitarian law, to secure Gilad Shalit's release and to return him to his family as a matter of fundamental decency and elemental justice.
Aerospace Industry

Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, the Minister of Industry announced an investment of $300 million for Pratt & Whitney, a major aerospace company.
This investment will create and maintain research jobs and will also encourage public and private partnerships.
This investment is expected to create and maintain over 700 highly skilled jobs during the project work phase and more than 2,000 jobs during the 15-year benefits phase.
Our government's investments in the aerospace industry give Canadian businesses the opportunity to contribute to major international projects in the aerospace and defence industries, such as the global F-35 program.

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, since the 1930s, the Senate has always respected the will of those elected by the people. That was the case until Conservative senators decided otherwise a couple of weeks ago.
This despite the fact that the Prime Minister said that an unelected chamber should not block bills from an elected one.
I am asking Senator Comeau and all senators to respect the will of the elected Parliament by sending to committee the bill requiring Supreme Court justices to understand the official languages. It is their duty to protect the rights and interests of Canadians, especially minority groups.
The fact that the Conservatives promote unequal rights for anglophones and francophones is unacceptable. The English and the French have equal rights and privileges. They need to understand that formal equality is not true equality.
I call on all Canadians to remind senators how important this bill is for a fairer country for all.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, today the Conservative government called upon the coalition headed by the leader of the Liberal Party to stop blocking a bill that would eliminate pardons for serious crimes.
At present, criminals who sexually assault children are eligible for a pardon. That is why last spring we introduced a bill that would eliminate pardons for those who commit serious crimes, including sexual assault. For nearly six months now, the coalition headed by the Liberal Party leader has been blocking the bill in committee. We are calling a special committee meeting this week to force the opposition to vote on the bill.
Canadians can rest assured that the Conservative government will do whatever it takes to ensure that this bill passes and to make our streets and communities safer.
High Tides
Statements By Members
December 13th, 2010 / 2:10 p.m.
Claude Guimond Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, high tides combined with high winds caused a great deal of damage in eastern Quebec in particular.
To make matters worse, on December 9, the helicopter transporting Government of Quebec experts, namely from the public safety and sustainable development department, over the Gaspé Peninsula to assess the damage crashed in Cap-Chat. Among the passengers was Pascal Bernatchez, geography professor at UQAR and Quebec research chair in coastal geoscience. Fortunately, thanks to the pilot's experience, everyone survived and no one has any life-threatening injuries. In any event, we wish them a speedy recovery.
As people assess the damage and begin reconstruction, the Bloc Québécois wants to commend the courage of all the victims affected by these high tides and the efforts made by municipal authorities and volunteers to lend a helping hand.

Mr. Speaker, this past month we paused to reflect on the 1932-33 famine genocide executed by Soviet dictator Joseph Staline against the Ukrainian people.
Today I stand with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and urge the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to include a permanent display devoted to the Holodomor.
The museum is set to open its doors in 2013 in Winnipeg. Now is the time for the Content Advisory Committee to commit to a permanent exhibit to commemorate the many Ukrainian lives that were lost.
As we in the House of Commons and the thousands of Ukrainians in Winnipeg remember and pledge that "never again" will finally mean never again, let us allow all Canadians and the world the chance to learn about the Holodomor at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Vancouver residents woke up to yet another example of why the coalition needs to stop blocking legislation to make our streets and communities safer. Early Sunday morning, 10 people were shot in an outrageous display of brazen violence, believed to be gang-related.
Our Conservative government is committed to making our streets and communities safer. We need to make it clear that violent crime will not be tolerated on our streets. In the spring we introduced legislation to eliminate pardons for serious offenders. Sadly, the coalition has been blocking this legislation at committee for nearly six months. It is obvious that the Liberal-led coalition cares more for the rights of criminals than for law-abiding citizens. That is why we are calling a special committee meeting to force the opposition to vote on the bill. This will take place on the six-month anniversary of the bill being sent to committee.
Canadians can rest assured our Conservative government will do everything possible to protect Canadians against violent crime.

Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, clearly, the purchase of fighter jets without a competitive bidding process would be a huge mistake. Not only would a competitive bidding process give us more jobs and more industrial benefits, it would also save taxpayers billions of dollars.
Why is the government letting the Americans choose our aircraft at the expense of our industries and our taxpayers?

Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, of course, nothing could be further from the truth. There was a competition. In fact, the competition took place under the tutelage of the party of the Leader of the Opposition.
In fact, what we are seeing here is a win-win situation. It is certainly a win for the Canadian Forces for the new state-of-the-art aircraft, the fifth generation aircraft, the only one available to our country. For the Canadian aerospace industry there is the potential for contracts of up to $12 billion and 150,000 jobs. This is great for the Canadian economy. I do not know why the Liberal leader opposes it.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the defence minister's credibility on this issue is in tatters. On May 27, he promised Parliament an open and competitive bid. On July 16, he reversed himself. He made one estimate for the maintenance costs of this airplane. It has now more than doubled. He has overplayed the industrial benefits, downplayed the cost. None of his numbers about this plane add up. When will he put a stop to this boondoggle in the making?

Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, I do not know why it is every time push comes to shove, every time the issue is about getting the Canadian Forces new equipment to protect them, to promote their interests and Canada's interests abroad, the Liberal Party is against it. We saw it with the EH-101 cancellation. Now we are seeing the same thing again, a page ripped out of the 1993 red book. When they cancelled that contract, it cost the country $1 billion.
Here we have a chance to improve upon that record. We could have the Liberal Party be consistent for a change and support the Canadian Forces and the equipment needs that they have.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, this is about value for taxpayers' money. I defy the Minister of National Defence to tell the Canadian people what this plane will actually cost. In the United States the estimates go from $50 million, to $95 million, to $125 million. The maintenance contract estimate goes from $5 billion to $12 billion. This is an issue of credibility. No number the government presents on this issue is credible.
How can the Conservatives ask the taxpayers to foot the bill without a competitive bid?

2008 PARALYMPIC GAMES: U.S. Women's Wheelchair Basketball Team Squeaks Past Germany, 42-38, in Opening Game of Pool Play
BEIJING, China -The U.S. Women's Wheelchair Basketball Team escaped its opening game of the 2008 Paralympic Games with a slim 42-38 victory over Germany on Monday. Team USA battled back from a 12-point, first quarter deficit and overcame serious offensive struggles to earn the win.
"We knew that Germany was going to come out fighting hard and they did," said U.S. co-captain Patty Cisneros (Champaign, Ill./Lake Station, Ind.). "We just reminded each other that we weren't going to win the game in the first quarter and kept chipping away and chipping away. We trusted each other and felt confident in what we were doing and got the victory."
The Germans dominated the early goings, forcing the U.S. out of its rhythm and playing the style and tempo of game to its liking. But, a second quarter line-up substitution by head coach Ron Lykins (Stillwater, Minn.) changed the U.S. attack and turned the momentum in favor of the defending gold medalists. The team put on a full-court press and made the Germans start working from end-to-end.
Though woeful shooting plagued the U.S. throughout the game - the team finished with 26% FG on 16-of-61 shooting - the press created turnovers and wore down Germany in a hurry. The Germans were clearly tired by halftime and the U.S. had cut the gap to just three points, heading into the break down 26-23.
"We've played well all year, then we come in to our first game of the Paralympics and all of a sudden we're down 14-2 right off the bat," said Lykins. "But, we hung in there, didn't pack it in and had a resolve to play better."
Team USA's defense continued to shine in the second half. The U.S. played a full-court press for the remainder of the game and executed consistently to completely exhaust the Germans. Christina Ripp (Littleton, Colo./Dane, Wis.), playing in her third Paralympic Games, said it was that defense that keyed the victory, especially since the shots weren't falling on the other end.
"We know we're an awesome defensive team, that's how we fight and we were incredibly tenacious out there tonight," said Ripp. "[Head coach] Ron [Lykins] always tells us that even when we can't get anything going on offense, we can always rely on the strength of our defense."
Despite the tough night shooting, Ripp led the team with 11 points and five assists and Sarah Castle (Champaign, Ill./Centennial, Colo.) added eight points and five rebounds.
The U.S. continues pool play against Australia on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 3:30 p.m. at the Beijing Science & Technology University Gymnasium.
For more information, or to arrange an athlete interview, please contact Susan Katz 139-1075-4845 (Dial 011-86 plus the local number if calling from the U.S.).

Messiah Pulls Away from Denison in NCAAs
from press release
GRANTHAM, Pa. -- Denison started strong, pulling out to a 3-1 lead through the first 12 minutes of play, but No. 12 Messiah utilized an eight-goal run midway through the first half to steal momentum away from the Big Red, and win 14-7 in an NCAA Division III women's lacrosse tournament first-round game.
Kara Geiman scored four goals to lead Messiah. Rachel Dirksen and Lizzy Keeney added three goals each. Geiman and Dirksen also dished three assists each.
The first half told most of the story as all but 18 of the 21 goals scored in the contest came over the first 30 minutes of play. After Messiah got things started with an early goal, Denison came right back when Lulu Carter (Greenwich, Conn./The Millbrook School) found Alex Thurner (Cincinnati, Ohio/Summit Country Day) for a goal just nine seconds after Messiah's first score of the game.
DU would respond with two-straight Jenny Strathern (Worthington, Ohio/Thomas Worthington) goals over the next three minutes. With 18:31 to play in the first half Rachel Dirksen opened the floodgates for Messiah with her unassisted goal. That would spur the eight-goal run which would last until the 5:17 mark of the first half when Phoebe Myhrum (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shady Side Academy) broke the streak and trimmed the Falcon advantage to 9-4.
Just 26 seconds later, Messiah would start a new streak as Keeney scored her third goal of the game that set off a three-goal run for Messiah.
A free-position goal by Myhrum and a goal by Molly Sbrega (Portland, Maine/Deering) from Carter would keep Denison within striking distance, at 12-6 heading into halftime.
For as much offense as there was in the first half, the Falcons managed to slow things down in the second half, attempting only five shots over the 30 minute period while holding Denison to 11 shot attempts. Denison did get one second half goal from Carter but the Falcons were careful to not turn the ball over, thus negating the possibility of a Denison comeback.
Myhrum and Strathern both finished with two goals for the Big Red while Carter led the way with three points (one goal, two assists). Sbrega (one goal), Thurner (one goal) and Molly Cornbrooks (Baltimore, Md./Roland Park Country Day), who had one assist, were the point-scorers for Denison. Defensively, Carly Tschantz (Omaha, Neb./New Trier[Ill.]) had four draw controls and three ground balls while Alyssa Zinsser (Lebanon, Pa./Cedar Crest) posted three ground balls and two caused turnovers.
Denison's season, and 10-game winning streak comes to a close with an overall record of 13-5. That is the most victories by a DU women's lacrosse team since 1993 and it ties for the second-most wins in program history.

September 29, 2008 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: November 4-6, 2008 Nutrition Coordinator and WIC Coordinator Training Cancellation
SUBJECT 2: Changes to the WIC Certifier's role
SUBJECT 3: Shipping Notification Plastic Sleeves
SUBJECT 4: New Nutrition Education Handout
- November 4-6, 2008 Nutrition Coordinator and WIC Coordinator Training Cancellation: The November 4-6, 2008 Nutrition Coordinator and WIC Coordinator Training has been canceled due to the implementation of MOWINS. All staff signed up for the training will be contacted by phone or email to let them know of the change. We deeply regret any inconvenience this causes agencies. Canceling training to incorporate the changes resulting from MOWINS implementation seems the best alternative to having staff spend time away from work learning about material that will be changing in the next 6 months. If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Changes to the WIC Certifier's Role: Upon the implementation of MOWINS in your agency, WIC Certifiers will not be able to assign risk factors, assign food packages, assign food package cycle, enter VENA (Nutrition Assessment) information, or document the "AR" nutrition education contact in MOWINS. In MOWINS, WIC Certifiers will have access to view these screens only. Only the CPA will be able to enter information into these screens in MOWINS. WIC Certifiers will be able to continue taking anthropometric measurements, hematological measurements, and providing the "AR" education contact, which will then be documented in MOWINS by the CPA. If you have questions, please contact your district nutritionist.
- Shipping Notification Plastic Sleeves: During the week of September 29, 2008, the DHSS warehouse will begin shipping plastic sleeves to all local WIC providers. Approximately 200,000 plastic sleeves will be allocated to all local WIC providers based on their monthly caseloads. The state office is currently working on determining a shipping schedule for the federal fiscal year 2009. If you have any suggestions and/or questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- New Nutrition Education Handout: A new nutrition education handout titled: "Relief from Common Problems of Pregnancy" (#51) is now available at the DHSS warehouse. Please begin ordering the new handout using the attached WIC Nutrition Education Resource Request form (WIC-7). If you have any suggestions and/or questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Release date: 8/20/2004
Raleigh: GoInternet.net can no longer use misleading telemarketing calls to sign up customers and then place charges on their telephone bills, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced today.
"Because of some tricky telemarketing, consumers wound up paying for services they didn't want and hadn't agreed to," said Cooper. "That's wrong, and now we've put a stop to it."
Under terms of a consent judgment approved today by Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard E. Manning,
Jr., GoInternet must now get written authorization from its customers before billing them for Internet and
telecommunications services rather than signing consumers up during telemarketing calls. The company must
also make it clear to consumers that they will be charged for GoInternet's services if they sign up, and must
disclose the amount of the charges and how they will be billed.
In addition, the judgment requires GoInternet to cancel contracts and provide refunds for every North Carolina consumer who requests a refund and alleges that the charges were unauthorized, including the more than 150 consumers who filed complaints with the Attorney General's office. Cooper's Consumer Protection Division will send letters to all current GoInternet customers in the state, offering them the opportunity to get their money back if the company billed them without their permission. GoInternet must also pay $50,000 to the state.
GoInternet is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Philadelphia that also operates under the names Mercury Internet Services and Venus Voice Mail Services. Neal D. Saferstein, part-owner of GoInternet and its former president and chief executive officer, is also named as a defendant in the judgment.
According to the lawsuit filed by Cooper in October 2002, GoInternet telemarketers misled consumers about the costs of services or enrolled them without their approval. Many consumers who were billed for GoInternet had declined the telemarketer's offer or agreed only to receive information. Other consumers did not remember getting calls about the company or were told by telemarketers that the services would be free of charge. In some cases, telemarketers spoke with a child or an employee who was not authorized to order service, but the company signed the household or business up anyway. Many consumers were not immediately aware that GoInternet was charging them $29.95 a month because the charges appeared as part of their local telephone bills.
"Study your phone bill as carefully as you would your bank statement," Cooper advised consumers. "If you see charges you don't recognize and didn't approve, let my office know about it."

Mehwish is 17 years old from Faisalabad, Pakistan's third largest city, and has been passionate about field hockey since she was young. In order to play field hockey, she says she had to face her brothers who did not want her to play sports and frequently tried to stop her from leaving home. "They wanted me to go to school for studies. But as the stubborn sister to stubborn brothers, I refused to go to school. I told them that I would continue my studies only if they allow me to play hockey," Mehwish said.
"Initially, they allowed me to play only at school. But gradually, as they saw my confidence when playing, they stopped bothering me about it," she added. Last week, she played side by side with fellow female Pakistani and American field hockey players on a field at Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington D.C.
Mehwish was one of ten teenage Pakistani field hockey players in the United States for a State Department sponsored sports exchange. While in America, the female athletes not only improved their field hockey skills, but they also learned how to harness the lessons of Title IX — the landmark U.S. law, which afforded opportunity and equality for American women in sports and education — back home in their communities.
The Title IX law is a mere 37 words, but over the last 41 years, those 37 words have made an incredible impact on the lives of young women around the United States. At the State Department we believe that this piece of legislation illustrates why playing sports should be a right for women and girls — empowering them with the benefits of participation, of opportunity and equality, around the world.
By applying the lessons of Title IX globally, we aim to increase the number of women and girls who participate in all aspects of sports locally. The reasons are simple. Sports instill the confidence, leadership, and teamwork that women around the world need to excel on the field, but it also can help them achieve more in life. Because when women and girls step onto the playing field, they are more likely to step into the classroom, the boardroom, and into society. A 2010 study by Betsey Stevenson, a member of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, found that sports increased both college attendance and overall earning potential.
We cannot forge progress around the world if we leave half of the population behind. Including women in the classroom, in enterprise, and in society is important to our efforts to create stronger, more inclusive communities.
At the State Department, we are working for the day where girls and women playing sports will no longer be controversial. A time when girls and boys from Quetta to Mogadishu to São Paulo will play sports in equal numbers -- where sports can be a gateway to success on and off the playing field.

While I understand the usefulness of labels such as
While I understand the usefulness of labels such as autism, I am grateful that we have finally gotten to a place where we are speaking of a "spectrum" of autism. I suspect that, in time, we may come to understand/accept all of humanity itself as a spectrum, and not have to use labels at all. This is what I love about the characters of Spock and Data. . .they bring to the fore the question, "What is it to be human?" They help demonstrate that humans are individuals, each giving expression to their humanity in different ways which, if we could accept, would be a giant step forward. Rather than a planet of forced/attempted sameness, we would finally welcome everyone and be that much richer for it.

Wonderful quote in your second-to-last paragraph.

Wonderful quote in your second-to-last paragraph.
I would also direct readers' attention to poet Ed Byrne and his wife Pam, each of whom writes about their son Alex.

As a parent of a child (boy, 6 years old) with autism, I understand the desire to get rid of the labels and learn to treat our children, and everyone in our society, as human beings with important and unique things to offer. However, I also recognize that my son has some very significant developmental delays that may make it nearly impossible to look after himself when he becomes an adult. Having the label "autism"--however much it may be misused and abused by a small minority--allows us to learn from and connect with other families in similar situations, to get information on how best to help our son, and to learn about what his particular needs might be from those who may have helpful insights and experience.

this is a plug for the autietots website...the family who runs it also has a six year old with autism, not sure if it is the same, but i am guessing it is.
if you could direct me to the scientific research on developmental markers...
who designs these markers?
from personal experience...i can imagine myself being labeled as a small child, i had a lot of these so-called symptoms...i now see that i was an intelligent and precocious child, and i have not only been very successful at looking out for myself, but i see that children's development is so varied and profoundly complex that i am forced to question the motivation behind these labels.

In retrospect, I have to strongly suspect that my father was on the autism spectrum. He was extremely logical and private, loved music, had ferocious powers of concentration, and seemed utterly baffled by everyday human relations. He was very often angry and frustrated and completely misunderstood his wife and children. He did seem to exist in his own world and seemed incapable of recognizing the separate inner worlds, motivations, and needs of others. Some amazing strengths but also some glaring weaknesses.
In particular, he was deaf to differences in tone of voice. To compensate, I believe he systematically studied human behavior in film, plays and literature, trying to understand intellectually what did not come naturally.
I also suspect that his condition left him vulnerable to abuse, and that he likely had been traumatised by such abuse at some point in his life.
I wonder if there are any support groups for children of autistic spectrum parents.

Premier Lakewood Inc. Plant To Close In May
LAKEWOOD- Premier Lakewood Inc., a Michigan-owned company located on 201 Winchester Road in Lakewood, will be closing its doors on May 6, displacing 75 employees.
According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification from the New York state Department of Labor, layoffs will begin on May 1 and continue through May 6. Economic reasons have been cited for the closure. Calls made to the plant on Monday were not returned.
According to a Post-Journal article from 2006, the plant has been in Lakewood since 1946. Premier Lakewood Inc. purchased the company from Lexington Die Casting in 2005. Lexington Die Casting, which had owned the plant since 1992, set to close the factory for good, leaving their remaining 45 employees out of luck. However, due to a collaborative effort between the previous owners, local development leaders and New York state officials, the jobs and factory alike were saved.
In the same 2006 Post-Journal article, Paul Brancaleon, president of the Michigan-based Premier Tool and Die Cast Corporation – which the Lakewood branch is a part of, went on record speaking of tripling Lakewood operations and stepping up production five-fold over the next three years.
Premier Lakewood takes in hundreds of tons of recycled aluminum every month, melts it down and channels it through dozen of die casters. This is then shaped into strong, light-weight parts, half for automobiles and half for other commodities.

Roughly 1,000 years ago, the story goes, a Viking trader and adventurer named Thorfinn Karlsefni set off from the west coast of Greenland with three ships and a band of Norse to explore a newly discovered land that promised fabulous riches. Following the route that had been pioneered some seven years before by Leif Eriksson, Thorfinn sailed up Greenland's coast, traversed the Davis Strait and turned south past Baffin Island to Newfoundland—and perhaps beyond. Snorri, the son of Thorfinn and his wife, Gudrid, is thought to be the first European baby born in North America.
From This Story
Related Content
Thorfinn and his band found their promised riches—game, fish, timber and pasture—and also encountered Native Americans, whom they denigrated as skraelings, or "wretched people." Little wonder, then, that relations with the Natives steadily deteriorated. About three years after starting out, Thorfinn—along with his family and surviving crew—abandoned the North American settlement, perhaps in a hail of arrows. (Archaeologists have found arrowheads with the remains of buried Norse explorers.) After sailing to Greenland and then Norway, Thorfinn and his family settled in Iceland, Thorfinn's childhood home.
Just where the family ended up in Iceland has been a mystery that historians and archaeologists have long tried to clear up. In September 2002, archaeologist John Steinberg of the University of California at Los Angeles announced that he had uncovered the remains of a turf mansion in Iceland that he believes is the house where Thorfinn, Gudrid and Snorri lived out their days. Other scholars say his claim is plausible, although even Steinberg admits, "We'll never know for sure unless someone finds a name on the door."
The location of Thorfinn's family estate in Iceland has surprisingly broad implications. For one thing, it could shed new light on the early Norse experience in North America, first substantiated by Helge Ingstad, an explorer, and his wife, Anne Stine Ingstad, an archaeologist. In 1960, they discovered the remains of a Viking encampment in Newfoundland dating to the year 1000. But the only accounts of how and why Vikings journeyed to the New World, not to mention what became of them, are in Icelandic sagas, centuries-old tales that have traditionally vexed scholars struggling to separate Viking fantasy from Viking fact. Steinberg's find, if proved, would give credence to one saga over another.
By Steinberg's admission, he found the imposing longhouse— on the grounds of one of northern Iceland's most visited cultural sites, the GlaumbaerFolkMuseum—"by dumb luck." For decades, visitors had gazed upon the field in front of the museum, unaware that evidence of one of the grandest longhouses of the Viking era lay just beneath the grass.
Steinberg did not start out trying to insert himself into a debate about Viking lore, but to survey settlement patterns during Viking times. With his colleague Doug Bolender of NorthwesternUniversity in Chicago, he had developed a method for using an electrical conductivity meter to detect buried artifacts. The tool—a cumbersome, 50-pound apparatus usually used to identify contaminated groundwater and locate pipes—sends alternating current into the ground. The current induces a magnetic field, and the tool then measures how the magnetic field varies according to the makeup of the soil and the objects buried in it. The two men fitted the electronic equipment into a 12-foot-long plastic tube and trekked around fields holding the apparatus by their sides, looking for all the world like slowmotion pole vaulters getting ready to vault.
The two first worked with Icelandic archaeologist Gud- mundur Olafsson, who was excavating the site of Erik the Red's farmstead in western Iceland and had identified it as the place from which some of the explorers of the New World first set out. There, Steinberg and Bolender charted magnetic anomalies—possible signatures of buried walls and floors of turf houses. Then, Steinberg says, "Gudmundur would draw upon his knowledge of ancient Norse houses to imagine possible configurations underground so that we could refine the search." By the end of 2000, Steinberg and Bolender could survey a field as quickly as they could walk.
An 18-person team they put together then settled on Skagafjord, on the north coast of Iceland, as the most promising place to conduct their studies. The area is dotted with rills, rivers and thousand-year-old fields green from the abundant rain and long, soft sunlight of summer days in the Far North. The territory was ideally suited to their technology, layered as it is with known volcanic deposits that coincide with important historical events, enabling the archaeologists to get a good fix on the ages of objects they found. "See, the soil reads like a book," Steinberg says, standing in a trench on a farm near Glaumbaer that was the site of northern Iceland's most powerful estate during Viking times. He points to a green layer that marks a volcanic eruption in 871, a blue layer from one in 1000 and a thick, yellow layer from yet another in 1104.

Posted on 03/19/2013 6:21:22 AM PDT by PJ-Comix
After a meeting yesterday with Harry Reid (D-NV), Sen. Dianne Feinstein learned that her controversial assault weapons ban mess will not be part of the gun control bill package heading to the senate floor next month.
The AWB could be offered up as an amendment, but the bill was already considered a long shot, as senate democrats will be facing a competitive election cycle for 2014. Many face constituents back home who do not support such legislation.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
This would be reassuring, except four years ago she could just as easily have written: "ObamaCare could be offered up as an amendment, but the bill was already considered a long shot, as senate democrats will be facing a competitive election cycle for 2010. Many face constituents back home who do not support such legislation." When it comes to big gains in government power over us, the thugs in the democrat party do not care what it costs them personally or the country as a whole. There is no bigger gain than disarming the people. If the far left can accelerate the transition from a free country to a people's republic, it's worth any price to them.
Thank God elections of senators are staggered. Can you imagine the nightmare if every one of the rat bastards were elected on the same day every six years?
"Hasta La Vista Assault Weapons Ban (Feinstein Bill Shot Down)"
For now.....it will come around again and again, as many times as it takes...and the protestors feeling fulfilled as always, will go back to sleep...and it will be passed w/o a whimper—alinskied again!!!!!
Semper Watching!
In a just world, Feinstein would be nothing more than a village yenta. Unfortunately in this one she has the power and staus of a United States Senator.
Why should they be scared?
The Left holds the Senate, and the House is capitulating. The AWB will be ObamaCare Redux.
Now the rest of the bills need to die.
Funny how this works.
The dems have a problem with you owning a .22 that holds more than 10 rounds, yet they don't have a problem with a known drug user and associate of domestic terrorist having his finger on the nuclear button.
This thing was a wind up for Chuck Schumer's bill.
Thank G-d for elections!
That was just one wild haymaker from a crazy who just keeps swinging and the round isn't over. Those jabs and below the belt shots just keep coming and it looks like the ref is family.
Get lazy or sloppy and one of those wild swings will be that "lucky punch".
I still wonder if she "fed" Dan White's mental instability and "armed and aimed" him at Harvey Milk. Wasn't she first on the scene to find his body? After all, his death is what jump-started her political career, bully that she is. It really is odd that someone who has such a hatred for all things firearm used to have a carry permit. If she were so traumatized by finding Milk, one would think that her trauma would not allow her to handle AR15s and other weapons with such ease. There must be more to the woman's psychology than we acknowledge.
Feinstein knew this was going to happen and went through her theatrics anyway, or she thought she would be able to build enough public outrage to push it through. If it was the latter, it backfired.
Either way, the Democrats realize this is a losing issue. One has to wonder why they are doing it. For some reason, they seem to think it will help them in the 2014 mid-terms, and think the outcome will be different than 1994 (the last time they did this).
Good news for a change! Hope they shoot down (no pun intended) the entire farce of a gun control mess!
Keep in mind that it was never intended to pass,
it was intended to make the "compromise" palatable by comparison.
Don't forget to vote in 2014. Campaigning for pro-Second Amendment candidates would be even better.
I'm happy with this development but I'm not letting my guard down for a sec. They (Progs, Commies, whatever they're calling themselves on any given day) will never stop trying to take our guns away.
If they can't do it at the Fed level they will try the state level.
If they can't do it at the state level they will try the local level.
If they can't do it at the local level they will try the Fed level again!
Meanwhile, they will constantly be trying to do it at the international level if they can.
They will never stop. Every gun not under their control is a gun that may interfere with their plans.
I'm certain there is more legislation being drafted right now.
All very, very predictable.
GOP caught in a classic "rope-a-dope" again.
Well, being from SF, wouldn't she be a 'Yentl'?..........
" Keep in mind that it was never intended to pass,
it was intended to make the compromise palatable by comparison."
This was my thought as well.
Don't let up yet, troops! Schumer's bill is far, far worse than the AWB.
For example, once you register your firearm, if you have a roommate or landlord, you can't leave the registered gun for more than 7 days since it's not registered to them.
If you let someone borrow your gun, say while hunting, you are in violation if you don't do the "transfer" through an FFL.
Shooting down DiFi's bill is intended to put you at ease.
They'll be back.
At least they had a few good tunes in the 70s
I'd like to get all schadenfreude about this, but there's still a possibility that this is a trick. Get everyone mad about an outright ban, then slip in registration and taxes.
I guess we can just scrap thoughts about limiting New York Times to a single 100 word attack editorial per day.
We're a long way from being out of the woods.
Yeah. What's that about?
That's what I thought from the beginning, but part of me thinks you're wrong. Part of me thinks this is what it appears: A crushing defeat for the Tyrants. That can't have it all their way all the time. It is possible, and likely, that you're right, so we can't let up.
That's the problem with big government, we can never let up, relax, and live our lives. We always have to watch them. I don't think that's what God intends for us.
"Keep in mind that it was never intended to pass,
it was intended to make the compromise palatable by comparison."
Roger that! Eternal vigilance against tyranny is required. Never trust a radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbag if they are not in sight. Hell, don't even trust them if they are in sight. Gotta watch the rino's too.
Don't get me wrong, they would have LOVED to get that piece of tyrany passed,
but it was intended to make the compromise in the "next bill" look better.
I smell a head fake here. I don't trust any of them.
Maybe Cruz. Rest of them are in it for themselves.
Mixed feelings on this. Obviously, I am glad it was defeated, but it would have been better if the Democrat Senate had passed it, forcing many Democrat sentaors in pro-freedom states to face the political consquences of voting for it, only to have it defeated by the Republican controlled House.
Ah cmon, Vanilla Fudge was better.
Not really. Reid knows that the entire bill would fail to pass if the Feinstein provisions were included. He thinks he has enough votes to pass the "universal background" check bill but if Feinstein's bill were included the Sentate would get nothing. He and Durbin have counted the votes and know they must face reality. Giving her the opportunity to offer her bill as an amendment will let her propose the ban and it will get "shot" down. That will prove his point and he can say the Senate has done "something".
If it wasn't for white Christians with guns, Feinstein would be a lampshade...
If it wasn't for white Christians with guns, Schumer would have been a lampshade instead of a senator...
Yes, because they have worked so well. We shouldn't even be having these conversations if the people that are elected would abide by the Constitution.
Our Founding Fathers would have hung most of them by now.
Well they let Slimestein have her day in the sun before they shut her down. Dingy was never going to allow that POS unconstitutional bill be brought up for a vote. The votes just were not there. He can't put those Dems who are up for re-election in the position of having to vote on a bill that will alienate gun owning voters. Dems own guns too.
I'm not cheering yet. I'm still worried about the magazine ban.
"watch the rinos too."

HANOVER, N.H. — Private burial is planned for Elizabeth M. Sincerbeaux, who died at Kendal of Hanover on March 9, 2012, six days short of her 99th birthday.
She was born on March 15, 1913 in East Orange, New Jersey, the daughter of Charles S. and Marjorie (Cooke) Morley.
She graduated from the Kent Place School in Summit, NJ in 1931, and Briarcliff Junior College in 1933. Subsequently, she attended the University of Pennsylvania and The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and then Yale University where she received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture in 1939.
At Yale she met her husband-to-be, Robert A. Sincerbeaux, and they married April 19, 1940. For many years they resided in Short Hills, NJ where they raised their three children, and she was involved in a variety of philanthropic activities. Having visited Woodstock, Vermont annually beginning in 1946, she and Bob moved there full time in 1968.
Betty was an accomplished sculptor, equestrian, tennis player and golfer. In 1979 she won the Women's Club Championship at the Woodstock Country Club.
In her later years she developed a keen interest in archeology and devoted much of her free time and her skills as a dowser to field research pertaining to pre-Columbian settlers of New England. In this capacity she worked with the New England Antiquities Research Association (NEARA); and, in 2002, received NEARA's Outstanding Achievement Award. Her research was also cited in several books including America B.C. and America's Ancient Stone Relics.
Betty loved the natural world and spent hours hunting ferns and flowers and exploring Vermont's countryside. She became one of the earliest supporters of the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) and served on its Board of Trustees for 16 years. Her other memberships included the Lakota Club and the Society of Colonial Dames.
She is survived by her three children: Richard M. Sincerbeaux, Sr. of Locust Valley, NY; Suzanne S. Brian of Woodstock, VT; and Charles M. Sincerbeaux of Weston, MA; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Betty was predeceased by her husband, Bob, of Woodstock; and her sister, Phyllis M. Flood, of Toronto, Canada.
Contributions in Betty's memory may be made to either: the Vermont Institute of Natural Science, 6565 Woodstock Road, Quechee, VT 05059; or the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society, P.O. Box 702, Brownsville, VT 05037.

February 9, 2009 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Mandatory New Food Package Training
SUBJECT 2: Unknown Values in the Computer System
SUBJECT 3: Breast Milk Research Study
- Mandatory New Food Package Training: The one-day training will be offered at several sites and dates throughout the state and provide attendees with an overview of the new WIC food packages. Training is mandatory for two attendees per agency - one must be the Nutrition Coordinator. If additional staff is registered, they will be placed on a waiting list and confirmation will be processed as space permits. Dates and locations are listed on the attached registration form. Registration deadline is May 15, 2009. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact D'Anne Ward at 1-800-392-8209 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Unknown Values in the Computer System: Attention HANDS Agencies: A recommendation from the MOWINS pilot agencies was the importance of HANDS agencies to update their unknown values (e.g. 888 in the Hemo and height/weight fields) before their agency rolls-out with the new system. The Invalid Medical report (HWIME 005-01) can be utilized by the LWPs to determine what records need to be updated. The Invalid Medical Report can be accessed under the Nutrition Services folder through Crystal Reports.
After reviewing the Invalid Medical report, HANDS agencies should:
- Try to update the HANDS fields with the actual data, if you have the data.
- If you cannot update the HANDS fields for any reason:
- Wait until your agency can access MOWINS, and if the participant is still in the cert period for which the data was obtained, it can be keyed to the record at that time. Note: It would be keyed through the folder and not the guided script.
If you have additional questions, please call the HANDS Help Desk @ 1-800-554-2577.
- Breast Milk Research Study: The University of Massachusetts is conducting a study on breast cancer risk and is looking for nursing mothers who have had, within the past year or are expecting to have, a breast biopsyto participate. Long before a woman might notice a lump in her breast, there are changes in the DNA of epithelial cells in the breast. Some of these cells are expressed in breast milk, and this study is examining these cells to try to identify molecular biomarkers for the development of breast cancer. One possible outcome of this research is the development of an early, non-invasive method of assessing breast cancer risk through breast milk. The results may also lead to new treatment strategies. More information is available at the study website at www.breastmilkresearch.org or you can contact Dr. Sarah Lenington, Recruitment Coordinator, at email@example.com or call 413-545-1037.

Even though the forthcoming code-named Magny-Cours microprocessors with twelve cores will feature two times more processing engines than predecessors, its power consumption will remain on approximately the same level compared to currently available six-core AMD Opteron "Istanbul" chip, the company has revealed.
"AMD designed Magny-Cours chips to draw the same power as Istanbul chips," said Pat Conway, a member of AMD's technical staff, in a presentation at the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University, reports ComputerWorld web-site.
When asked about the ways of retaining power consumption of Magny-Cours on the same level with six-core AMD Opteron, the representative for AMD explained that the new twelve-core chip works at lower clock-speed and also sports new power management features. Even though Mr. Conway declined to reveal the clock-speed of twelve-core AMD Opteron, it is known that six core chips consume about 75W at 2.60GHz clock-speed.
AMD Magny-Cours processor will be the first chip for the AMD G34 "Maranello" platform designed for Opteron processors 6000-series with up to 16 cores, quad-channel memory interface, 2 or 4 sockets, up to 12 memory modules per socket and some server and enterprise-specific functionality. Magny-Cours microprocessors feature two six-core dies on one piece of substrate.
In 2011 AMD plans to release a successor for Magny-Cours code-named Interlagos, which will be based on Bulldozer micro-architecture, built using 32nm process technology and contain up to 16 cores.

This week, ten years ago, I was in London for MySQL AB's first "train the trainer" course, also meeting (for the first time) my first boss at MySQL Kaj. I'd been hired mid August as employee#25, also doing training but actually primarily as tech-writer for the MySQL documentation (taking over from Jeremy Cole, and essentially I was the documentation team for quite some time ;-). So from this you can deduce that yes, I was hired without meeting either Kaj or anyone in-person! I don't think we even had a phone call, only email. Oh the days 😉
The training week itself was of course disrupted quite a bit by the events in New York. We had Jeremy who had come on a UA flight from the US, and others from all over the place… it also taught some students a lesson about browsing the net while in a training course, it can end up very distracting.
The oddest event I remember about that particular trip happened upon departure from Heathrow: someone with a clipboard went round the long queues asking whether anybody was carrying eyebrow tweezers. No other items/questions, just that.
I stayed with MySQL for about 6 years, until with a brief break, I started my own company Open Query in 2007 (about half a year before the Sun acquisition). So this September marks the 4-year anniversary of that event already. I spotted an old business card earlier, reminding me that early on we did not just MySQL consulting and training, but also (OSS) business advice – that's now essentially spun off to Upstarta.
The MySQL side of my business has changed quite significantly as well, going from the usual reactive consulting to proactive subscriptions, in part based on Pythian's successful model. A key difference has been that we don't do emergencies. This disruptive shift happened somewhat by luck, after a talk at Linux Users of Victoria in April 2009. Ben Dechrai made a video recording of this interactive "Relax! A Failure is not an Emergency…" try-out. It also mentioned the BlueHackers initiative/stickers.
While some people including competitors regard our "no emergencies" approach as nuts ;-), it has worked out very well and apart from making customers happy it's created the sane lifestyle I was looking for (so I could spend more time with my daughter), and enabled contracting others as well. We're still growing organically, having adapted our internal tools and processes for the proactive service approach along the way – obviously, it's now more about project management than handling incident tickets.
Like my time at MySQL AB, my journey since then has so far proven interesting, educational, and mostly enjoyable. Later in the year I aim to once again buy a house with a modest garden. And it's the independence that'll have made that -and my other explorations- possible. Who knows what lies ahead – most fun when you create your own future!

People with diabetes and self-reported severe hypoglycaemia have increased mortality risk over 5 years
- University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA
- Correspondence to
: Dr Samuel Dagogo-Jack
University of Tennessee, 920 Madison Avenue, Memphis, TN 38163, USA; sdj{at}uthsc.edu
Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
This retrospective survey of ambulatory patients with diabetes indicates that self-reported severe hypoglycaemia is associated with increased risk of 5-year mortality.
Although the mechanisms are unclear, evaluation of patients with diabetes should include documentation of hypoglycaemia history and management approaches should focus on patient education and scrupulous avoidance of iatrogenic hypoglycaemia.
Hypoglycaemia (<70 mg/dl; 3.9 mmol/l) in people with diabetes is frequently due to exposure to insulin or insulin secretagogues. The acute effects of hypoglycaemia in symptomatic patients, and the disabling effect of severe hypoglycaemia, are well known.

Drummer Ed Thigpen has lived in Denmark since the early 70s, but we haven't forgotten him stateside. Especially given the recent death of Oscar Peterson. Thigpen recorded more than 50 records as a member of the Oscar Peterson Trio, but not very many as a leader.
In 1966, though, he made a record for Verve called OUT OF THE STORM. Not a lot of music here, and Thigpen doesn't solo much, but it's still worth checking out. At the time, Thigpen had recently left the Oscar Peterson trio. Trumpeter Clark Terry adds some mouthpiece-only solos for an nice effect. Thigpen plays tuned drums that sound like tympani at times. Kenny Burrell, Herbie Hancock, and Ron Carter round out the date. Give it a listen.
The last time I saw Ed Thigpen, he was teaching kids at a percussion clinic in New Orleans. As you can imagine, there were a symphony of drummers in attendance (which, in retrospect, is pretty easy for a rhythm town like NOLA). It was just around the time that he won a Humanitarian Award at the International Association for Jazz Education conference.
That seems fitting. He's a beautiful cat, and a tremendous educator. And for the record, he's a hell of a wire brush player.
Happy Birthday, Ed Thigpen.

Mobile spy for iPhone
So, I am new here and quite the non technical type person so please excuse my ignorance when it comes to this type of thing.
I have a crazy jealous boyfriend, he is OBSESSED with my phone and who I text or talk to. So I started putting a passcode on my phone. Drives him crazy. But the other day, I was texting someone and he started acting strange even making the same type of quotes that I had just sent in a conversation. I got a little creeped out because can it really be a coincidence? I mean almost word for word so I got to searching around and saw this mobile spy thing. He has no way to get into my phone because of the passcode but could he have installed it somehow by sync'ing it to our laptop? (we share an iTunes account and have synced our phones to only that laptop). Also, can he even sync it to the laptop when there is a passcode on it? I really have nothing to hide so its not a huge deal; its just the principal of it all!! Thanks in advance!

Mobile spy? Sync?
Is it possible to install mobile spy on an iPhone when there is a passcode lock on it and you don't know the code? Can you sync an iPhone when the passcode is on if you use the same pc and iTunes account has always been synced to and then view photos and contacts from the pc and basically bypass the passcode? I have one on my phone but my jealous boyfriend seems to be psychic and saying things that I just wrote in a text to someone!
Don't share iTunes accounts if you want privacy.
If it's enabled in the Store preferences, anything he downloads will automatically be downloaded onto your phone too...
Also it is VERY easy for him to watch you enter your 4 digit code and then know how to get into your phone. You enter it so often in his presence, he can watch for one digit at a time and know your code in a day...

Well if he installed MobileSpy on your phone look for the icon for it. Unless your phone is jailbroken then he cant hide the icon on you.

As long the phone had been synced to the computer once it is possible to access the data.
Programs like PhoneView (Mac) can do it and I'm sure there are similar programs for Windows.
I tried it, with lock code, I could access everything, the messages, voicemail, call history, contact list, browser history...
I hope you are not jailbroken, because if you installed (or him) SSH and haven't changed the default password (alpine) you are open to the world.
One way would be to remove the referencing of the iPhone on the present laptop (don't ask me how) and have your own computer password protected and your phone only synced to it.
Or always keep the iPhone with you at any time.
Ok buy a safe where you can store it when not in use.
You could also switch from simple pass code to alphanumeric one, (in the phone preferences) you could then have a longer and complex password.
The problem could also be that he could use a backup explorer, but there I'm certain he'll need to know the code to unscramble it.
Having a shared iTunes account is not a real problem, since any downloaded app should come unconfigured and has to be launched. (unless you don't trust it and have it removed)
But it would be far better to have your own account (or his own account depending on who registered the present one) especially when iCloud will start.
It removes the possibility of abuse, say for example he buys expensive apps and it's your credit card that is registered. (or vice versa)
But like RECKRAB002 said, you have a boyfriend problem.
- 09-27-2011, 12:10 PM Thread Author #8
Yes yes u are all right I do have a boyfriend problem. So until I take care of that problem I would like to see how much he really stalks me! He has hacked his way into my email, facebook, skype, and my AT&T account so trust me I now make my passwords so random and never write them down. I never touch my phone in his presence cuz he's done that too and I have the alphanumeric passcode. I have not synced the phone to tge laptop in about a year but yeah we do share iTunes. Can I get another iTunes in my name and use it on my iPhone or do I need to sync it? Cuz I never use that laptop bcuz who knows if he spy's on there too! I would lose all my apps and music but whatever cuz he stalks my life! I want privacy!

Simply go to either the iTunes or the AppStore app.
Go to the bottom of the list and click on the account button (with the present used email), chose Log off (or disconnect I don't know I have a french account but it's above cancel).
Then the button changes to Log on (Or Connect, whatever ).
You'll have then 3 choices:
Use an existing account
Create a new account
Chose to create a new account and follow the procedure, you'll have to use a different email than the previous one and have to provide payment options.
But if your iPhone is compromised the best thing would be to restore it with the help of an Apple Genius for example.
Or do it yourself on a computer you trust where you could save your settings (especially contacts), that would get rid of any jailbreak if there is one.
Personally my contacts are stored on Google.
I would recommend to do a backup of your iPhone on another computer then restore, before thinking of creating another iTunes account. (just in case there's a spying program on it)
PS: I forgot, you could buy 1Password for iPhone if you need to store all your passwords and fear to forget them. (They are save encrypted on the iPhone so unless he knows the master password he will not be able to decrypt it, but still a clean iPhone is prefered before using it)

If he set your phone up for Find My iPhone, he probably also follows your movements when you two are not together... Be sure to change that in Settings - Mail - Mobile Me as well..
You want it enabled, you just don't want him to be able to use it to fine you...

Re: Mobile spy for iPhone
Sometimes it's not as easy as just walking away. I've been there. Took me months because the ex had made my life so dependent on him.
She knows she needs to walk, but may not be able to do that tomorrow.
As for the phone, back it up (CopyTrans is a good program) save/ sync your contacts to an outside program like google or Plaxo, make sure the data is saved on a different computer or on dropbox , so that you can access it later and then wipe it clean.
Set up using a different iTunes account and preferably on a different computer. Be wary of find my friends or find my iPhone. And AT&T has a location finder called Family Locator. Make sure that is not active on your cell account/phone. You can call them and ask.
And expect the s*^# to hit the fan. Be prepared to leave when he discovers, because if he's as jealous as you indicate, it could be very ugly. Have a friend there with you, or be at a friends house. Just take care of you! Stalking is scary and serious. Don't be afraid to make the change. Be empowered!

Re: Mobile spy for iPhone
Is it possible to install monitoring software like iKeyMonitor on your phone? Because I know this software can be used to monitor people in secret and recorded texts and phone calls. Anyway, if it is yes, he can know everything about you.

Re: Mobile spy for iPhone
Is there any free spy app for iPhone? I have not found any yet. I was looking for the free iPhone spy app. Now I am using a paid version called iKeyMonitor. It's working smoothly with every facility that I need, but I don't want to pay so much money for it.

Reviews for Gingerbread Snowflakes
"This is my favorite gingerbread cookie recipe. I found it it a Taste of Home recipe box I purchased at the checkout counter at the grocery store. I couldn't find my book this year when I went to do my holiday baking and panicked until I found it again here on the website. We just love these!"
"These turned out great! They were not to hard and not too soft and just the right amount of spice for my family. :) Thanks!We made gingerbread men out of them and used a simpler frosting recipe, but it worked up great. Dough was -no- problem at all to work with after refrigerating (though we did run errands in between, so it was in the fridge for a couple of hours before rolling out)."
"I didn't like the dough at all, it was really sticky. I had to roll it out on a floured surface, scoop it up and reroll it on even more flour. So maybe try it dding more flour. I receive several compliments on these cookies from people who said they don't usually like gingerbread cookies!"
"What is that 'anonymous' reply? Can you really do that?Oh Administrator...have you posted the recipe for your gingerbread snowflakes? "

Just too much time talking about duck hunting, yet, my friend down on the Marais de Cygnes reserve in east central Kansas, has made limited out hunts for several days now, his tail-gate photos with Zeke, his pointing Labrador, machine of a dog, give me no doubt of the collective prowess!! The latest issue was five green-heads and one red-head drake!!! A red-head!!! I have arrived in this modern age, in rememberance of a time when there were no red-heads, there were no canvas-backs, and taking a wood duck would result in a fine of $150 or better!!! Our collective efforts, in improving our waterfowl habitats both up north and our feeding habitat in our Mississippi Flyways areas, have brought us to this time, we have birds to harvest, we have habitat to enjoy, and will continue to love our outdoors in the autumn, whether we are calling a "high ball", or a clucking feed call on our blind, we'll always love our time "in the blind"!!!!!Stay Warm, Be Well, and Get Some Birds!!!Thanksgiving is just a shout ahead!!!just kicking a subject, loving the time, watching my birds, and being with the time...molater, kkr

The only Mrs. Stoll I knew was my English teacher (I think) in 7th and 8th grade, when Central Elementary wasn't the Central Gardens Retirement Home.
Who was the gorgeous, willowy superintendent's secretary in the late fifties, when Thurston Hill's office was in the high school? Was that Edwina Weber? I don't really think so, but...I don't have a Reveille handy. I really didn't pay much attention to secretaries...

I remember Mrs. Toner--small, neat, always dressed in a tidy gray suit--but I had the business teacher who looked a bit like a bulldog. She was nice and quite patient, but I was always afraid I would forget her real name (as I now have!) and would call her "Mrs. Bulldog"!
I appreciate your love of nature, kk, but I have no clue as to how you can kill those beautiful little ducks! I would much rather collect them in photographs.

Keith Kenneth Roussel-my old typing class partner with Mrs. Toner. Nice column. Did you know Bill Ash when u were in B.H.S? After Semo he was 'Wild Bill Ash' as a pro wrestler; married (for awhile) Mr. Hill's (or was it Mouse's) secretary...?

New Calumet police chief fired
Storm 19U dominates opener at Nationals
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Keweenaw Storm 19U girls' hockey team got off to a dominating start Wednesday in the USA Hockey Nationals.
The Storm outshot the Falcons of Lake Forest, Ill., 54-13 and rolled to a 4-0 win in both teams' opener of pool play.
Keweenaw controlled the game from the outset, with Kim Harter scoring just 22 seconds into the game on an assist from Kenna Farrey.
Though the Storm went into the locker room up just 1-0 after the first period, shots were 16-1 in their favor.
Less than a minute after killing their first penalty of the game, the Storm doubled their lead, as Selena Stromer made it 2-0.
Stromer scored again at 3:27 of the third, while Megan Yeo tacked on a power-play tally a few minutes later.
Stephanie King made all 13 saves for Keweenaw, which plays its second of three round-robin games today against the Charles River (Mass.) Blazers. The Blazers beat the New Jersey Colonials 4-1 in their opener.
The top four teams in the six-team pool will play in the quarterfinals over the weekend.

On bees, butterflies and backyards
Bees get a bad rap. Here are these great gals buzzing along, pollinating flowers and helping flowers turn into yummy things to eat. What do most people do? Scream. Run. Swat. Grab bug spray, hair spray or anything that looks like it could be lethal to the bee.
What is amazing to me is how few people are actually stung by bees. I've had kids see a bee and run, screaming and shouting. Some adults do the same thing. When asked if they have ever been stung, many say either no or not in years.
Being scared of bees seems to be part of that whole "living in the future" problem that many of us have, including me. It's not the fear of what IS happening, but a dread of what COULD happen. It could sting. It could hurt. It could be awful. Many people don't notice what IS happening. Most bees are far more interested in flowers over people.
Frankly, people are boring to bees until they do something to threaten the bee. Even then, it depends on the kind of bee it is. There are over 400 species of bee in New York State alone, and most are solitary bees that are pretty mellow. I've seen kids sit, lay down and step on native bees and their homes without getting stung.
Why care? It's National Pollinator week from June 17 through June 23!
The United States Senate decreed this week honor pollinators and all the important work they do. Work? Pollinators work? Yep! Pollinators are an essential part of the web of life. Their part is to move pollen from flower to flower so those flowers can make seeds, often surrounded by yummy fruits.
That banana you had at breakfast was most likely pollinated by a bat. The tomato at lunch would have been best pollinated by a bumblebee, which are perfect for shaking the pollen out of the flower. One bite in three is produced by pollinators and most fruits and vegetables would not exist without them.
It's weird to think that you could plant the best garden in the world, but without pollinators it might not produce anything. The pea flowers that have started bursting in my yard will not turn into peas without a pollinator. A watermelon flower without a bee visiting it will wither on the vine. Flowers need to be pollinated, whether it is by bat, bird bee, butterfly or wind.
Some of people's favorite pollinators are butterflies. These colorful insects are easy to attract to the yard with a butterfly garden. In fact, Audubon is offering a workshop on butterfly gardening to celebrate pollinators on June 26 at 7 p.m. The workshop will cost $14, $10 for Friends of the Nature Center. The class will go into not only how to attract butterflies, but how to plant "host plants" for butterflies to lay eggs on. Many butterflies only lay their eggs on certain plants. If you want to see more butterflies at the butterfly garden, it helps to give their babies some food.
Sometimes, the land I live on does not seem like mine. I know the butterflies that lay their eggs in the butterfly garden claim that section of yard for themselves. The toad under the rocks by the steps certainly thinks that place is his. The hornets have laid claim to the eaves above the back porch. Robins, Mourning Doves and cardinals have claimed the hemlocks lining the backyard for their nests.
It seems like I share my world with all the animals around me, from pollinators to birds to toads. I have worked hard to turn my yard into part of the local habitat. Of course, you cannot escape nature. Whether you want it to or not, your yard is going to be used by the local wildlife. My yard just has parts to improve the habitat.
There are flowers blooming from April through October in the yard for the benefit of local bees and butterflies. Some are in gardens, some in the grass. There are dedicated homes for toads, snakes, birds, bees and more.
Audubon will be holding a S.H.A.R.E. workshop (Simply Have Areas Reserved for the Environment) on June 20 at 7 p.m. to demonstrate ways people can make their yards more friendly to pollinators and other animals. The class costs $14 or $10 for Friends of the Nature Center.
Jeff Tome is senior naturalist at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary located at 1600 Riverside Road, Jamestown, NY, located just off Route 62 between Warren and Jamestown. The trails are open from dawn until dusk and the center is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, except Sundays when we open at 1 p.m. More information can be found by calling (716) 569-2345 or at jamestownaudubon.org.

Looking at your photo, the next step would be to pour the hearth slab using just concrete, no vermiculite. If you included vermiclite to your 4" hearth slab, you'll need to rebuild it. Vermicrete alone has no strength without solid support under it. After that comes the 4"vermicrete layer, or the rigid insulation board. I forget exactly what they call it. It should look something like the first few posts on my build thread here.http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,11155.0.htmlIf that's where you are now, and it's just a matter of having the right ratio of vermiculite and portland, I'd make sure it's right before proceeding with the dome. It's relatively cheap and easy to replace it now. Although 3 to 1 my work just fine, peace of mind is a very valuable thing.
