text: So, for nostalgic reasons, I had a look over Rhoald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the other day, and I always forget how dark it actually is! Anyway, it inspired me to give children's horror a whirl (even though it's not strictly Mr. Dahl's genre). My premise is that Jack, twenty years ago, faced with his parents' divorce and having to leave his childhood home, meets a genie, and wishes for two things: that his parents can never leave him, and that he never has to leave his home (he's saving his third wish for later). The upshot of this means his parents are frozen like statues in his house, and he's frozen as a ten year-old boy, and it's been that way for twenty years. Naturally, he's the antagonist, or threat of sorts - a creepy concept, I think, for anybody, particularly a child. If you then add a sinister unkempt house for him to live in, and then the genie screaming from inside a cupboard or something, it could genuinely be quite scary. The problem is, the antagonist has to antagonise somebody. I have my protagonist, Alex, mostly sorted, with all the traits he'd need for this kind of story (bravery, curiosity, etc), but I just can't seem to join the dots, and get an actual story out of this - how on earth should Alex meet somebody hiding out in an out-of-the-way cottage? Hopefully, by having shared experiences r/e homelife, Alex and Jack should be able to establish an uneasy friendship of sorts (hopefully the reader should be seduced by a Peter Pan parentless life, amid the horror) - but where is the threat? Thanks for your help, -S

The New Art Gallery Walsall
The New Art Gallery Walsall opened in February 2000 in the heart of Walsall town centre. A unique civic building for Walsall, the gallery is also a rare example of a brand-new building for the millennial arts. The £21 million world class gallery was made possible by £15.75 million Arts Lottery funding (the 1000th lottery grant awarded since the lottery began in 1994) and commissioned by Walsall Metropolitan
Borough Council, which wanted nothing but the best for this vibrant West Midlands town.
Venue Type:
Tuesday -Saturdays 1000-1700 and Sundays 12noon-1600
Closed Mondays and Bank Holidays
Free admission
On permanent display is The Garman Ryan Collection which was donated to the people of Walsall by Lady Kathleen Garman, widow of sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein, in 1973. This
unique collection is displayed in a two storey house consisting of a series of initimate, interconnecting rooms, each with a window, making a house for the collection over
the first and second floors of the gallery.
Key artists and exhibits
- Two remarkable women created The Garman Ryan Collection, Kathleen Garman, lover and later wife of artist
- Jacob Epstein, and her life-long friend Sally Ryan, a talented sculptor. Together, they formed an art collection that is
- initimate, adventurous and eclectic, reflecting their wide-ranging tastes. Works by well-known European artists, including Monet, Rembrandt, Constable, Van Gogh and Picasso, are displayed alongside beautiful artefacts from many different cultures across the world. The galleries chart the long, productive and often controversial career of Jacob Epstein, and serve as a memorial to the Epstein's extraordinary circle of family and friends - Augustus John,
- Modigliani, Gaudier-Brzeska and Epstein's one-time son-in-law Lucian Freud.
Works from Tate into The Garman Ryan Collection
- 11 February 2016 — 11 February 2017 *on now
As part of a three year partnership with Tate, the 2016 Interventions into The Garman Ryan Collection are drawn from Tate's renowned collection. 16 Tate artworks have been paired with related works in The Garman Ryan Collection, linked either by artist, subject or theme. Included are key examples of work by Eric Gill, Cedric Morris, John Nash, Picasso and Rodin.
The Garman Ryan Collection was formed by Sir Jacob Epstein's widow and gifted to Walsall in 1973. Amongst the 365 artworks are many by Epstein and his circle, including Gaudier-Brzeska, Augustus John, Matthew Smith and Lucian Freud; as well as by leading 19th century European masters Constable, Degas and Pissarro. It includes many parallels with works from Tate's extensive collections of British and European art and we are privileged to have the opportunity to display some fantastic examples in this exhibition, highlighting standout works from both collections.

Norma,I have looked at a lot of images of the Papa John's Mega Chocolate Chip Cookies, and have read many reviews, and your clone of the PJ cookie looks very good and very professional.You previously mentioned to me that you did not see the workers at the PJ store actually cut the PJ cookies. I can think of one or two ways of cutting the cookie without mangling it or the pan but can you tell us how you cut your clone PJ cookies? I might also note that when I was looking at one video review of the PJ cookie, the cookie was uncut. So, apparently that is one option that is available to those who would prefer to cut the cookies themselves, maybe in different numbers of slices. An uncut cookie might also not dry out as fast, and it might also be dressed up or wrapped for gifting purposes (giant cookies are very popular as birthday gifts).Also, can you tell us how you have been preserving the leftover cookie slices so that they don't dry out and become brittle and hard? When I was reviewing the McDonald's soft baked chocolate chip cookies, the reviews were generally quite favorable (as well as the price) but there were some complaints that at some McDonald's locations, or at certain times of day, the McDonald's cookies were dried out hard. And the McDonald's cookies contain a lot of chocolate chips. On this point, I read elsewhere that microwaving the leftover cookie slices for a brief period helps restore the leftover slices.Your use of less Clabber Girl baking powder may be an indication that the amount of cookie dough should be reduced a bit. The PJ weight numbers are somewhat vague and indefinite so it is hard to know what amount of cookie dough comes closest to what PJ does. Most chocolate chip cookie dough recipes that I have seen tend to call for a lot of baking soda or baking powder (or a combination of both). The amount of Clabber Girl baking powder that I came up was driven mainly by the Sodium numbers and the fact that baking powder contains a lot of Sodium. Do you suppose that PJ uses the screens and parchment paper as a way of adapting the bake of the cookies to their conveyor ovens? Conveyor ovens perform differently from a thermodynamics standpoint than a home oven or even a deck oven. Maybe it is possible to bake a PJ clone cookie in a standard home oven in the usual manner. FYI, I estimate that the ingredients costs for the PJ clone cookie dough using the bowl residue compensation of 10% come to about $1.85. This estimate is based on local supermarket prices for most of the items and Amazon pricing for the ingredients I do not have on hand. The price I quoted does not include the price of the disposable aluminum foil pan. I suspect that most people will just use whatever baking pan they have on hand. Disposable aluminum foil pans are quite inexpensive but to get really low prices you need to buy them in bulk, by the hundreds. Maybe you can get some samples somewhere to test at market. Peter
It was really good, the chocolate chips stood out more than the real cookie, Pete described a difference between 2 brands earlier that I had not considered to be a factor (tasting more chocolate vs sweetness). I used semi-sweet chips from Costco. For improvements I will try to match more exact ingredients to what you and Pete suggest, but for what I made I was quite pleased.
I agree that the chocolate chips stand out more than a PJ cookie. I have used two different types of chocolate chips and really can't tell the difference in the taste of the PJ clone cookie with either type of chocolate chips.
Norma,As you know, PJ is using commodity/foodservice sources for its margarine and leavening, and most likely for the more prosaic ingredients like sugar, brown sugar, salt, flavorings and colorings. So, I would imagine that they are doing something along the same lines with the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Of all the ingredients used to make the PJ Mega Chocolate Chip Cookie, the most important ingredient in my opinion is the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips are at the heart of every chocolate chip cookie. But that doesn't mean that PJ is going to use chocolate chips from Scharffen Berger (now owned by Hershey), or Callebaut or Guittard or Jacques Torres. PJ's is not trying to make the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. They are just trying to add a novelty item to their pizza line.I think the Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips are a good choice for cloning purposes because they are readily available at retail and at a price that is not much more than the Nestle and Hershey semi-sweet chocolate chips. The Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips also come pretty close to meeting the PJ description of the chocolate chips they use. And Ghirardelli has a long heritage. It has been around for 161 years. Since we don't know where PJ is sourcing their chocolate chips, it is hard to conclude that the Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips are superior to what PJ is using. But, if they are, that should be noticeable by the veteran chocolate chip cookie eater.Peter
I will purchase some more Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips after I finish the Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips I purchased on sale yesterday.
Norma,What you might do is set aside some of the Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels and do blind side-by-side taste tests with your family members with the Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. As with most things culinary in life, there are distinct taste preferences that have to be respected even if they can't be explained. Peter
Do you want me to try a blind taste test with just the two brands of chocolate chips without them in a cookie?
Norma,Yes, that is what I was thinking. Even when there are differences, they can get easily lost at the cookie level because of the very high sugar and fat levels. Those two ingredients alone make up for about 68% of the total weight of a PJ cookie.Peter
Norma,Those are interesting results. After my last post, I found the following Cook's Illustrated 2009 article on dark chocolate chips:https://www.cooksillustrated.com/taste_tests/461-dark-chocolate-chipsIf you click on the Ghirardelli and Nestlé names, you will see that the total cacao contents are similar but that the Nestlé chocolate chip morsels have more sugar. The Nestlé morsels also have less cocoa butter. That helps keep the shape of the morsels intact so that they don't spread much during baking. The taste testers in the CI test favored the chocolate chips with the higher cacao contents. PJ is not using chocolate chips with the higher cacao contents. For one thing, they would be too expensive. Peter
I really wonder though when either of those brands would be baked in a clone PJ cookie if then those same people could tell any differences.
Norma,There are some people whose palates are so well developed and discriminating when it comes to chocolate that they can tell differences even a finished product. In that vein, it is quite common for testers to test chocolate chips in cookies. An example of this is the Serious Eats test as described at http://sweets.seriouseats.com/2010/06/what-are-the-best-chocolate-chips-brands-for-baking-cookies.html. When price is no object, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the taste testers will favor the more expensive brands. And they can detect them in the finished cookies even when there are competing ingredients and flavors like sugar, molasses, solid milk products, milkfat, butter flavor and vanilla (or vanillin). I believe that PJ is using a commodity type chocolate chip, not a well known brand name. When I went looking for a chocolate chip product with the same description as the PJ chocolate chips, I could not find a retail chocolate chip product with the same ingredients statement. Later, I found it embedded in a Nestle refrigerated cookie dough at the Nestle professional website at http://www.nestleprofessional.com/united-states/en/BrandsAndProducts/Brands/NESTLE_TOLLHOUSE/Pages/11003897.aspx. No doubt Nestle makes a standalone chocolate chip morsel product but does not sell it at the retail level. The closest product I found at the retail level was the Kroger house brand of semi-sweet chocolate chips, with real vanilla, not artificial vanilla. But I am willing to bet that the Kroger product falls short somewhere on the cacao content side.Peter
Margarine. For the margarine, I was able to only find one product that seems to come close to the margarine that PJ uses for its Mega Chocolate Chip Cookie. It is a new product from Walmart. In fact, it is so new that I wasnt able to find anything on that product online, even on the Walmart website. The product itself contains palm oil and palm kernel and soybean oil and is also a 0 Trans Fat product. It contains 80% vegetable oil. The margarine is sold under the Great Value brand, in stick form, and the box shows a rolling pin with the words Great for Baking within the image of the rolling pin. Below the rolling pin are images of chocolate chip cookies. Better yet is the price of the GV margarine. In my local Walmart, the price is $1.36 for four sticks (one pound). There are other products that include palm oil and palm kernel, but the ones I saw in my local supermarkets were less than 80% vegetable oil.Peter
I currently have your original 5-7 day PJ clone dough fermenting in the fridge. It looks like I'm going to have to break into it a day early ( 4 days ) as I'm not going to get chance to use it for the rest of the week as I'm busy. Do you think it will still turn out ok after 4 days? Is there anything I can do to help it along like taking it out of the fridge for longer before I use it?
What would be the main effects of using the dough early?

NAVAIR Advances RQ-21A Flight Testing
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) on Wednesday conducted the first east coast flight with Insitu's RQ-21A unmanned aircraft system (UAS) at its Patuxent River, Md., base.
(RQ-21A takes its first flight from Webster Field Annex, an outlying field to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., June 12. Photo, courtesy of U.S. Navy.)
Insitu recently reached Milestone C under its Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS) contract with NAVAIR, clearing the way to enter the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) stage with the RQ-21A. NAVAIR is now conducting flight tests with the UAS in preparation for Integrated Operational Test and Evaluatoin (IOT&E) this fall.
Current testing is being carried out to evaluate recent software, fuselage and camera upgrades installed on the RQ-21A.
"This test period brings us closer to providing our warfighter with a unique capability — an indigenous UAS capable of operations from both land and sea," said U.S. Marine Corp. Col. Jim Rector, PMA-263 program manager.
NAVAIR expects Insitu to complete the first production RQ-21A by May 2014.

A way to keep rails, develop trails
I previously expressed an opinion for cooperation between the polarized parties concerning the Adirondack travel corridor debate. This week I downloaded and read the unit management plan for the travel corridor. I had somewhat of an epiphany, and in that light I suggest the following as a means to garner the cooperation of all parties concerned:
1. The UMP specifically states that the operator of the railroad must have a lease long enough to allow them to attract outside investors. The Adirondack Scenic Railroad has operated with a short-term lease, eliminating its ability to attract investors to fund track restoration. This one point is a basic assumption for the following suggestions and is also the proximate cause to the delay in achieving railroad operations along the entire route. My suggestion is that a minimum 10-year lease mandate that the operator of the railroad must set aside into escrow an agreed-upon percentage of income that is to be used as matching funds for trail development and maintenance grants. This escrow account could be overseen by representatives of Adirondack Rail Preservation Society and Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates to ensure the monies are expended as the plan intends.
2. With the certainty of a lease, the railroad operator should be able to obtain private funding to execute sufficient maintenance to bring the entire corridor into operable condition. Once these operations commence, the whistle-stops for hikers and canoeists to access remote trails, as described in the UMP, could generate additional escrow monies for trail development. The whistle-stop additional cost is similar to a permit to enter these protected areas, thus achieving a management goal to avoid overuse. Additionally, the increased numbers of passengers using the services would increase, and that would increase the escrow monies available for grants. These grants would then be used as matching funds for trail development and maintenance.
3. The UMP recognizes that a parallel trail within the 100-foot right of way is not financially feasible due to the extensive wetlands along the route. The UMP explains why the right of way follows the water course(s), as do many other railroads, and explains that the parallel trail must necessarily deviate from the right of way to mitigate wetland damage. The trail advocates should embrace the need for these bypasses in that they provide recreational diversity in the same manner that diversity in wildlife and fauna of a healthy forest is desirable. Additionally, the Adirondack Park Agency and Department of Environmental Conservation should also recognize that these deviations are required. The two agencies are already in agreement within the current UMP and should quickly provide waivers to allow trail development outside the corridor.
4. The benefit to the trail advocates is a long-distance trail that will be a better recreational experience than a trail restricted to the highway-like corridor for 119 miles. The UMP points out that a long distance trail along existing highways does not provide the diverse recreational experience that would maintain enjoyment. Therefore, motivation to use the trail is reduced. This same rationale can be applied to riding along a 119 mile "flat" trail alongside the tracks. A variety of by-passes could also be used as additional opportunity to link communities that are not directly connected to the corridor. These connectors ultimately increase the potential for greater use of the corridor, and the use would be more evenly distributed along the entire route. It also provides an opportunity to travel the entire route in stages over time that would motivate visitors to return, and therefore increase the economic impact.
With this proposal, everybody wins, requiring only the investment of additional time. The state of New York would have a premier recreational asset that can be enjoyed by all, and increased tax revenues. The trail advocates would have a world-class multi-use trail with reduced need for fundraising to obtain grants necessary for trail development and maintenance, while gaining a more diverse recreational experience. The railroad operator would have a world-class tourist railroad operation that meets their organizational goals while partially funding the parallel trail. The local communities would have a year-round economic engine that has a broader reach while also enjoying the ties between Park population centers. It is my hope that all parties concerned take this suggestion as a means to garner cooperation where the strengths of each organization meld into a synergistic effort to achieve economic success of the residents living within the Park.

Cat & garden update. One group is growing, the other, not so much.Posted Monday, October 19, 2009, at 7:03 PM
Just got in from a "walk-about" and thought I would give you an update on the cats and then the garden.
The five young cats and older Siamese-like cat are doing fine. When I went down this morning my heart jumped in my throat because there was a "road-kill" about 30 feet from their tree. It turned out to be an opossum and while I hate to see any animal lose their life, I was relieved it was not one of our kitties.
By noon the buzzards had done their job and all evidence was removed, but we are still in fear every day. The momma cat is indeed NOT a momma. Why a male cat is hanging around them, I am not sure, but maybe it is their poppa. He came down among them today and no one seemed upset, so.....
We are now able to pet "poppa" and checked him out. Except for one tick that I removed, he seems to be doing well. However, he darted out into the road when Debbi drove by this afternoon, so he may not be a ward of the Mills family for long. Debbi thinks he knows the sound of our vehicles by now.
SOMEONE came over the hill and past the cats this morning at a HIGH rate of speed. I would guess 60+ and this is on a blind hill, on a curvy, country road. I hope it was worth the chances they were taking.
I sat with the cats for a while during lunch and they all came around, but only one came close enough to touch. They are definitely staying in their new condo, so they should be warm, dry and cozy.
Now some garden news.
I had some frost on the truck this morning, but very few plants lost any leaves to the cold. I pulled a few begonias to over-winter and harvested everything I could yesterday, but it does not appear to have been necessary. Did anyone get hit?
Since I still have lemon mint, chocolate mint (thanks Tami) pineapple sage (thanks Mike) and peppermint (thanks to some magazine that had a free packet of seeds a few years back), I decided to make some cuttings for winter, BUT I will make some tea first. I can't decide if I will combine some or brew them individually. Any suggestions.
Our figs are coming in way too late, but I brought in a few more tonight. Mommy is making some soup from some bok choy, fuzzy melon bitter melon and I might just slip in a fig or two for sweetness. Could be worse.
I noticed a lot of garlic chive seeds ready to save. Maybe I will get some for the next garden meeting. My artichokes are still growing, so I guess I will protect them another year to see if they do better in their third year. We only got one out of the second year growth.
Garlic is starting to come back up. I sure hope they are bigger than the past two years. I must be doing something wrong, but I am not really doing ANYTHING, so maybe that is what is wrong. I planned to divide them and make a larger planting, but.... so much for plans.
Anyone else want to talk about their garden? I hate to ramble all by myself.

We got hit with some frost this morning. I've pulled most of the flowers, but the basil took a direct hit. On the bright side, I've got a lone hummer still here (put fresh necter out this morning and she was still there) and the ponds are crystal clear...that hasn't happened since before the spring bloom!

I had not thought about the ponds. I need to look tomorrow. It has been so stirred up with all the rains that it will be a relief to see clear water.
I think we have one hummer as well. It needs to head South but our cypress vine is still alive as well as our pineapple sage, so it may be hanging around for some company to migrate with.

The coyotes are making their rounds last night and tonight. I went down to see how close they were to the cat family. They seemed to be a mile or so away.
What a clear night! The stars and planets beckoned. Maybe that will be one of the rewards of heaven. We will be able to star travel and see what is really out there.
If it is, my Dad is out there somewhere. Mother is probably listening to the music of the universe.

I got hit with frost two nights. I had ice on the water buckets Sunday morning( yes, ice! ).
I put a lot of plants inside on Saturday. I also covered up a afew things in the garden.
I too saw a lone hummer on Sunday. Felt sorry for him, as the freeze got everything left outside.
When I was 'frost-proofing' Saturday, I couldn't help but notice how many plants were in bloom.
I had cannas, calas, zinnias, dahlias, mexican sunflower, jasmine tobacco, gallardia, shoofly, honeysuckle, etc. The freeze wiped it out including the cardinal vine.
What a shame...

Yeh, I know you miss that cardinal vine.
Now we will probably have a few weeks of mild weather in which our plants would have prospered.
I don't think we have talked about your shoofly espoontoon and the jasmine tobacco sounds nice. Got any pictures? I can post a few on here.

Brought all my Cactus in Saturday. They are only plants I would hate to lose as I have nurtured them for 3 years. And Steve, I'm giving up on the garlic plants. Obviously I have no Italian ancsestry, haw. 2 years and I have yet to show any results. But I do have all my above ground beds ready to go for spring. And I have added PVC pipe irrigation this year.

i hate when peole would drive fast past our home when we lived on Joe Hart road. It was so twisty and curvy a person had to delibratly be pushing it to go a rate of speed, our sweet kitty Cheif got hit and killed.
I just don't understand folks.
I will pray each kitty finds a good home... and the male and female get gentle enough to get spayed and neutered.

Where does the time go? It was summer last time I was able to get outdoors and garden. Had to rush to cover plants and bring the prize ones in the other night. The sewing shop has gone wild with work, I really need a helper at times. I had 5 weddings the month of Sept. In between all the sewing I had to sort thru my husbands things and try my best to give it all away. He would have loved to see the folks joy at getting his clothes and boy toys. He was a real golf lover and had a wonderful set of clubs. They now have a new home. Every room of this house has been changed around to make me feel better. When I get a little sad I think about our wonderful times we had together and know he is out of pain and most likely playing golf with new golden clubs on God's greens. But I still miss him and his corney jokes.
Now to some important things... when is our next meeting and where will it be?
-- Posted by Ms Jere on Thu, Oct 22, 2009, at 10:40 PM
It is encouraging to know the sewing is going well and people are optimistic about the future & marriage.
Our next meeting is NEXT Friday, the 30th. Our meeting place is Richard's Cafeteria on Lane Parkway and we start drifting in at 6:30. Closing time is 8:00 so we usually close up when the lights get tuned off.
Now that Judy has pointed out the pull down projector screen it is feeling more like home every week. We meet in the back room on the right.
SURE hope to see you again!

Steve Benen, among others, ARGUES that "fiscal cliff" is the wrong metaphor for the fiscal challenge currently facing the federal government:
It's true that federal policymakers are facing a daunting task. At the end of next month, automatic spending cuts are due to kick in, just as all Bush-era tax cuts and President Obama's payroll tax cuts, are set to expire. The Congressional Budget Office has said the combination of events may push the economy into a recession, unless a compromise solution is reached.
The situation is commonly characterized as the "fiscal cliff." There is, however, a problem with the ...

Mr. Speaker, I always listen with great interest when my friend starts criticizing us.
I want to make sure that I heard him correctly and would like to get his permission to quote him. He actually commended the government, this from the opposition. Can I quote him and say that the Liberals have actually commended the government for the firefighters tax credit? Recognizing the fact that more than half of his caucus voted against it in the last budget, it is important for me to get his permission so that we can quote a key Liberal member of Parliament commending this government for this tax credit.
Do I have his permission?

Mr. Speaker, does he need unanimous consent for that?
Just as a point of clarity, when those members of our caucus who are still with us voted against the last provision, it was specifically because the private members' measure did not include everyone. It was a non-refundable tax credit. Therefore, it was about this group of committed volunteers, this group of firefighters, who took the same risks and did the same job but were to be treated them differently. That is why the opposition was there.
Some might argue that the provision was only for the honorariums received through firefighting. Whether it was for that or for general revenues, it does not matter. It did not level the field. It was not fair to all firefighters and that is where we had a problem.

Mr. Speaker, sometimes I think the Conservatives view Canadian taxpayers the way P.T. Barnum used to view circus-goers, because there has been a bait and switch in this budget. There has been a sleight of hand. It is like pulling a sedated bunny out of some tattered old top hat and trying to convince Canadians there is something good and new and magic about this.
In fact, the bait and switch came with a series of little rinky-dink populist tax breaks that very few people will avail themselves of, certainly not those in need, and not the 52% of children in my riding who live below the poverty line. Not a single one of them will play hockey because of the rinky-dink, little tax credits.
The really big ticket items, the really expensive items, in this budget are the billions of dollars of jets and billions of dollars of prisons and billions of dollars in corporate tax cuts. All of their little accumulative, minor tax credits pale in comparison to the one big corporate tax cut, which, frankly, will do nothing to elevate the citizens of my riding out of poverty.
Would he not agree with me there is something P.T. Barnum-like about the Conservatives with their sedated bunnies and their tattered top hats?

Mr. Speaker, we will stay away from Hugh Hefner and sedated bunnies.
The member for Winnipeg Centre, I think, hits it right on. What we have seen is not a focus on changing behaviours; what we have seen is a contrived and very deliberate political approach to try to curry favour with various segments of the population.
The tax deduction for sports registration is an obvious one. If the Conservatives want to help those who are making a decision on a financial basis whether or not to get involved in amateur sport, would that money not be better invested into programs like KidSport Canada? It is an organization that helps young Canadians get involved in entry-level programs.
Is the tax deduction for the arts not trying to curry that same political favour with a particular portion of the population? I believe it is.

Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to extend a more proper thank you to the people of Ottawa—Vanier for putting their faith in me for a seventh time during the last election. I can assure them that I remain committed to their well-being and to fighting for their interests here in this House.
That said, I would like to begin my critique of the budget by talking about the regional concerns surrounding the future of the public servants in our community.
The government is committed to balancing the budget. That is something the government should achieve and Liberals will certainly be supportive in that objective. The question is how it will attain it.
The government has said that it will not cut certain areas, such as transfers to the provinces and individuals. Therefore, essentially it has limited the universe in which it can effect cuts to about an $80 billion discretionary envelope. The cuts over the next four years will not be in the order of 5%, as some people have said. In terms of absolute numbers, it will be in the order of $1 billion in 2012-13, $2 billion the year after and $4 billion in each of the two succeeding years, for a total of $13 billion. Out of an $80 billion envelope, that represents cuts of almost 14%. Therein lies the rub.
Conservatives said during the campaign, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs repeated it ad nauseam during the campaign, that there would be no cuts to the public service and it would only be done through attrition. The average number of public servants who leave the government through attrition every year is about 10,000 and that represents a saving of about $1 billion on the basis that none of them would be replaced, which cannot be done.
The best guesstimates are that about a third need to be replaced, otherwise the delivery of programs would be crippled. The savings from attrition at most is $750 million a year. That is a far cry from $4 billion. Therefore, there will be cuts and the government has acknowledged that, after the election of course.
We are looking at serious numbers. Some have hinted at as many as 80,000 public servants, 40,000 by attrition if none are replaced, which cannot be done as I have mentioned, plus another 40,000. Depending on how and where it is done, it will have an incredible impact on certain local economies, this one in particular. The national capital region will probably be the worst affected. The individuals let go will have some serious fiscal problems of their own if they are not treated properly.
There has been nothing from the government in terms of how it will approach it, except that it put the President of the Treasury Board in charge, and I will say a bit more on that in a minute. We do not know the governing principles and we do not know what kinds of packages will be offered to public servants who will be let go, so on and so forth.
Right now in this area and other parts of the country where there is a higher concentration of public servants there are serious concerns. That is all I heard about over the weekend. People are wondering and are a little concerned about what is going to happen to their futures. The government has to be very transparent with its own employees, something it has not learned how to do in the last five years. Hopefully, now that it feels more comfortable with its majority, it will treat its employees a bit better than it has in the past. We will see.
Speaking of treatment, the basic fundamentals mean the government has to be transparent with its employees and has to treat them respectfully. We still have, despite the efforts of the government at times, one of the best public services in the world and employees deserve no less than professional treatment, transparency, honesty and forthrightness. I hope the President of the Treasury Board, as he embarks on this exercise, will be guided by such principles.
I go back to the President of the Treasury Board. It is rather ironic that he would be the one asked to do this after the Auditor General's report that was tabled in the House last week. What we have found out is appalling. Parliament has been misled by the government in terms of its expenditures and there has been a misuse of funds. An approved envelope meant for one thing was used for something else entirely. There has been an abuse of ministerial authority in determining how money is spent, without any documentary evidence whatsoever.
Talk about padding one's own host. The $50 million that were to be used to improve the flow of goods and people across the borders between Canada and the United States were used 300 kilometres away in the minister's riding, at his discretion. The Conservatives have the gall to put him in charge of cutting $11 billion over the next four years. We will have to see how that goes.
There are a few other matters that should be noted.
One of those matters is political party funding. I do not want the hon. members to worry about me personally, so I will say that it does not matter to me if the subsidies are eliminated or not. I have never received the subsidy and have never wanted to. Things are taken care of in my riding and there are no issues. But the irony runs deeper. We are facing an intellectual challenge: individuals who wish to contribute to a political party are limited to contributing $1,100 a year, while a third party can legally sneak in, get involved in campaigns in every riding and spend $3,000. Why the double standard?
It has not been an issue until now because the per-vote subsidy levelled the playing field. When the subsidy is eliminated, it is crucial that Parliament review political party financing legislation to ensure that fairness is a governing principle. It is not right that one person can spend $3,000 in a riding and that another is limited to $1,100 in political contributions. Political parties are registered by law with Elections Canada to protect the interests of the various political groups represented here in the House. Since this subsidy is being eliminated, Parliament must address the issue.
We do need greater literacy in fiscal matters in our country. On that front, the government had created a body that looked at that and made some serious recommendations. One would hope the government would follow up on those recommendations. It is important that it does.
The level of individual indebtedness in our country is way too high. It brings about a risk factor that we could attenuate. Currently in some cities the housing prices are untenable and if for whatever reason, oil prices, worsening international climates or investments were to dry up, we would see a dramatic drop of up to 10%, 20% in some cases, of the value of real estate and the concomitant disaster in some personal finances because of the high level of indebtedness. We need to address that as a country and I do not see the efforts to do just that in the budget.
Those are two things to which I would hope the government would pay attention and that we would see better efforts to ensure that the financial situations of individual Canadians would be looked after.
We will be coming back to the whole issue of crime. The government's approach to this issue is completely backwards. The exact opposite is what is needed. We need to reduce crime, rather than throw people in prison for even longer periods and at increasingly exorbitant costs. We will come back to this, since an omnibus bill on crime is coming down the pipe. We will definitely be talking about this issue again.
Lastly, I would like to talk about post-budget questions. What worries me about the government's attitude is that it has said nothing about any investment in education, health care or the needs of Canadians once the budget is balanced. Instead, it talks about increasing the number of tax havens for the wealthy, when it should be doing the opposite. Therein lies the main difference between the Conservative philosophy and the Liberal philosophy. We Liberals try to strike a balance between the needs of Canadians and the need to create enough wealth to support one another.

Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to the member's comments.
It strikes me as a bit odd that the member would talk about not being open with Canadians about the tough decisions that need to be made when a government is running a deficit. I remember when the member's party was in government. I do not remember members of that party going before Canadians in that election and telling them that they would have to make the very difficult decision of cutting provincial transfers for things like health care, or when they made the difficult decision to cut education transfers, driving up the cost of education for every Canadian student. They cut science and technology. I do not remember them saying that they would cut a great many things that really were not in their jurisdiction. They were responsibilities to be transferred to the provinces.
Maybe the member would like to talk about the lack of transparency of that Liberal government and why he now believes he is seated where he is.

Mr. Speaker, I will let the last comment slip by. If I have learned one thing from the Conservatives, it is that defeats are not permanent.
The member should do his homework. I ran for the House for this first time in 1995 in a byelection. That was at the time of the budget. The budget, the toughest budget, that the Liberals presented at the time gave a recipe for what would come in terms of transfer cuts and in terms of our own government cuts. That is what I ran on in this city.
The member should go back and do his homework because I have been through that. It is only because we were transparent, put facts on the table and said exactly what we would do that people felt they could trust us. We did exactly what we said we would do. We cleaned up the mess—

However, what is the government doing to help young graduates who are starting their professional lives with an average student debt of $25,000? Or to help families that have a huge debt load and are being crushed by astronomical credit card interest rates? Or to help the 5 million Canadians who still do not have a family doctor and have to go to emergency? What is the government doing to meet the real needs of Canadians?
By granting subsidies to the country's privileged, the government has made its priorities clear. And those priorities are unacceptable.

Does the job!
Great product

The only thing I have used this for is to make homemade deodorant and it works great. I use this with baking soda and coconut oil and it works even better than the commercial natural deodorant I was using and with this I know exactly what is in it and it's a lot cheaper too. :)
Good price

This is a good price and size. It is hard to find in the shops in Norway, so I'm glad I found it on iHerb.

I love this starch. IMO, soooo much better than cornstarch!
Always good!

text: Pomacentrids, commonly known as damselfishes and anemonefishes, are one of the most abundant and widely-studied families of tropical reef fishes. Small and brightly colored, they are popular aquarium fish. The family Pomacentridae consists of approximately 28 genera and 335 species. They tend to be territorial and can be aggressive, although this is not the case for the non-territorial, free-swimming planktivores or the anemonefishes (Amphiprion and Premnas) that live commensally with anemone hosts. Damselfishes are largely herbivorous, sometimes tending "gardens" of filamentous algae, but may eat tiny invertebrates, or in the case of anemonefishes, anemones and other organisms living symbiotically with anemones. Damselfishes manifest a range of reproductive behaviors, with groups that are polygynous, promiscuous, polyandrous, and monogamous. Anemonefishes are able to change from male to female under certain conditions (see Reproduction: Mating Systems).

Skip to comments.Saudi Arabia to double its oil refining capacity
Posted on 02/14/2006 8:37:24 PM PST by jmc1969
Saudi Arabia plans to double its oil refining capacity to six million barrels per day (bpd) within five years, Oil Minister Ali al-Nuaimi said Tuesday. The OPEC kingpin's "main goal is the stability of world oil markets.
It is currently working on huge oil projects, including raising crude oil production capacity and doubling the capacity of oil refineries to six million bpd within the next five years," the state SPA news agency quoted him as saying.
Nuaimi made his remarks during a meeting with visiting Dutch Foreign Minister Bernard Bot.
Riyadh's objective is to "meet the world's increasing demand for oil," Nuaimi said.
Nawaf Obaid, managing director of Saudi National Security Assessment Project, a government consultancy, told an oil conference in September the kingdom has earmarked $20 billion for the upgrade project.
The program would boost the capacity of eight refineries Riyadh owns inside and outside Saudi Arabia within five years, besides building new refineries locally and abroad, he said.
The Saudi and Dutch ministers discussed the importance of ensuring secure oil supplies and cooperation between their two countries in oil matters, including joint investments, SPA said.
Saudi Arabia currently has a refining capacity of around 3 million bpd through facilities both at home and overseas, of which around 2 million bpd are produced in the kingdom.
The Gulf kingdom plans to hike its output capacity from the current 11 million bpd to 12.5 million bpd in 2009.
All the talk about Ethanol is what brought this about
Ha. The main goal is to keep the west from developing alternative fuel sources.
I guess that ignorant dummy Bush, who had the DUmmies mocking him and some here outraged at his talk of alternative fuels, has stumbled again, eh? ;)
...should something unforeseen and nasty happen, say, to Iran's oil production...
They've been doing this for some time. Every time there talk about alternatives they start pumping out more. Keep talking, and keeping going for it, I say.
Doubt it. It takes energy to produce ethenol. Where does that come from. A neighbor is a chemist for Amoco, and he laughs at the "ethenol panacea" advocates.
The Saudis are going to increase output to market their product to China, India, and Japan.
OPEC has been playing games with us since the 1970s. My wife worked for Texaco in their World headquarters fo 30 years. I've heard more oil "war stories" than anyone here could ever imagine. She worked in planning, exploration, marketing, the tax and legal departments, and wrote speeches for DeCrane, Kinnear, Hicks and Jeitz. We hosted soirees for Managing Directors for the Dutch, Spain, and the Swedes for the Texaco President's Award.
Looks like the Saudi's have bought off enough US politicians to do their bidding. Here's a little payback.
I suppose you could be correct, I'm just guessing
If they double the output, will they half the cost - or leave it at $60+ a barrel?
Lets drill our own... right off the Kalifornicate coast and anywhere in Alaska we can find it...
We should start building Nuclear Power Production plants at the same time....
Semper Fi
Well it takes energy to transform corn into a fuel combustion product that will ignite a combustion engine. Some folks need to take a high school physics class.
Because of Al Gore.. Thank you Mr Ex Vice Asshole...
What I meant to say is that his visit helped us poor Americans...
But in the meantime, I own Foster-Wheeler stock and they will be bidding on parts of these projects.
They just landed this deal with SA as well.
Bingo! All of the EEEEVIL oil companies have wanted to do this for the last 30 years! If you want to make a difference, just dial 1-800-DEMO-CRAT. These pukes are the anethema of success in this country. Democrats thrive on other's failures.
Democrats hate success. They hate anything that is good for America. /rant - I'll move to the topic at hand. We should start building Nuclear Power Production plants at the same time.... Well, see above.
They're getting very nervous. That's a very good, telling sign.
No, the goal is keeping the West from developing alternative sources.
An unmentioned factor here, is the oil shale fields of our country. At current price levels of a barrel of oil that shale is getting more and more reasonable to go after. The Saudis are aware of this fact.
You should inform your neighbor that his employer hasn't existed for years.
Well, I'm no expert, but it seems to me that we're not just pumping crude out of the ground straight into our gas tank, either. Do all of those oil refineries run without using any energy?
This story is about doubling gasoline production, not doubling oil production.
Instead of exporting oil to us, they can export gasoline and make the refining profit as well.
You're right..
I need to read more carefully...the word "refining" went right past my old eyes...
Thanks for the correction...
Semper Fi
No, the lack of refining capacity in this country has helped bring this about. Instead of selling us the raw product, they can take additional profit on the refining as well. More jobs lost, more profit sent elsewhere.
This is not pumping any additional oil. This is taking the oil they normally sell and refining it. Then the refined product is sold at a higher value.
Well, duh. He's retired.
You're preaching to a guy who is married to a woman who has been in the oil industry since 1970. She spent 20 years at Texaco's World Headquarters working for senior executives in various capacities including refining and manufacturing in Europe.
We lived in CO during the 1970s. We are very aware of the oil shale on the Western Slope. During the Carter years, some of the majors had started setting up facilities to extract the shale for further refining. Even the ads on tv showed a guy burning a piece of shale.
But you still did not answer my question. Do the refieries that turn oil into gasoline not also use energy to do so?
Yes they do. Take a physics class.
It takes a lot more energy. How much more is debated, but far more energy than refining.
Turning plants such as corn, soybeans and sunflowers into fuel uses much more energy than the resulting ethanol or biodiesel generates, according to a new Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study. July 6, 2005 - ScienceDaily
Have you ever read a Texaco Oil year-end statement? My wife wrote two pages of TIMM. It was signed by Peter Bijur, former CEO. She has presented proposals to the Board of Directors of Texaco.
Shame on me, I'm just a lowly steel guy that bought, supplied and managed 16,000 tons of steel supplying General Electric Large Steam Turbine, Electric Boat, and Sperry.
Further, I have seen the explorations on the Western Slope of CO. Oil shale.
BTW, ever heard of the Tartan platform in the North Sea? My wife was managing millions of dollars managing the reconstruction of that platform which fed five fuelling station in Europe.
If you want to duel, do your homework. I lived this/these scenarios for 30 years when my wife was IN THE BUSINESS.
No sir. I think I will exit with the word, "bye."
I read somewhere that farm equipment needed to grow the corn uses almost as much gas as the ethanol fuel produced.
Not too efficient.
US refineries are operating at nearly 100%, and any event, such as a major hurricane, will result in gasoline shortages.
Even though I believe Peak Oil is about to hit, it still makes sense to build more refineries to protect against refinery disruptions.
Peak Oil is for real and will likely be the defining event of a generation (or more).
According to the Department of Energy, the Saudis need to produce 13.6 million barrels a day to meet demand in 2010. This article says they plan to produce 12.5 million bpd by 2010, but I would be very surprised if they can pull it off. Their big fields are 60 years old and likely about to peak. Even if they do accomplish it, they are still 1 million bpd short. Where is that oil going to come from?
The DOE says they need to produce 19 million bpd by 2020 to meet global demand. According to Matt Simmons and others, there is no way they have the capacity for that.
Saudi crude oil exports to us will actually decline if they ship it as gasoline instead.
It's not a bad development. The barriers to building new refineries enacted by lefties and their cronies are real. The increasing demand for gasoline has to be met somehow.
Saying you are going to produce more oil and actually doing it are two different things. Especially when all of your large fields are 60 years old, and haven't been independently audited in over 25 years.
In the short term, this announcement will probably drive prices down. That is simply noise, however.
I fear that the longer term impact will be that alternative energy efforts will be reduced since "the Saudis can meet demand" will be the new mantra. At least until they come up short in 2009. By then, it will be much more painful to transition to other energy sources.
But total petroleoum exports will remain the same (or increase) when you add the refined and unrefined products. Plus, the Saudis will charge us extra to refine it.
It's not a bad development. The barriers to building new refineries enacted by lefties and their cronies are real. The increasing demand for gasoline has to be met somehow.
Short term, an increase in global refining capacity is good for the US, but it is foolish to forego building more domestic refineries. One bad thing that might come about as a result of this is that plans for domestic refineries are delayed even more, since "the Saudis will refine it, so we don't need to worry about it".
All the more evidence for Peak Oil.
Crude oil production is probably 10-100 times more profitable than refining. If you have plenty of crude oil, it makes no sense to refine it (beyond whatever amount your nation uses), since the resources invested for refining would be much better spent in getting the oil out of the ground.
On the other hand, if your crude production is peaking, then it makes sense to diversify into less profitable ventures such as refining.
We've been importing most of our gasoline imports from Venezuela over the past few years. Given the situation down there, I think having multiple sources of imported gasoline is an excellent idea.
We definitely need more refineries domestically, too. It was one thing to depend on imported crude. But now we could have all the crude in the world and still not have the domestic ability to turn it into enough gasoline for our needs.

I met thoughtful and reflective people who crave authenticity. You can tell a transformation had occurred and honestly the realness of many of the inmates I met was convicting for my own faith and life. Angola can't but help change you and a big reason for that is Warden Burl Cain. I interview him in this issue of R&L. Cain is helping to encourage and foster the growth of men the rest of the world have long given up on.
There is a lot of great content in this issue. Wesley Gant contributes an essay titled "The Perfectibility Thesis — Still the Great Political Divide." It's an excellent overview of ideological divides and the aim and purpose of government. Dylan Pahman offers a review of Ronald J. Sider's Just Politics: A Guide for Christian Engagement. I review Grant's Final Victory: Ulysses S. Grant's Heroic Last Year by Charles Bracelen Flood.
The "In the Liberal Tradition" tribute honor this issue belongs to President Calvin Coolidge. During his inaugural address today, President Obama challenged Americans to live up to the meaning of the Declaration of Independence. A great study of those meaning and ideals was offered by Coolidge on the 150th anniversary of the founding document. There is more content in this issue, and the next issue will feature an interview with Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Volokolamsk.

When cancelling the release of the code-named Larrabee graphics processing unit (GPU) that was due in 2010, Intel Corp. stressed that it would not give up hope to enter the market of discrete graphics chips. According to an industry insider close to the project, there is still a roadmap in place and that the Larrabee will "come back with a vengeance".
"Intel is not a one-shot company. But there is a whole product plan and roadmap still in place," an anonymous Larrabee engineer told TechEye web-site.
According to the hardware designer, if Larrabee had emerged on time, it would have change the whole industry. Larrabee was supposed to render graphics, feature extremely flexible programmability and retain compatibility with x86 instruction set so to allow developers to easily use many-core Larrabee for multi-threaded non-graphics applications. Nvidia Corp.'s upcoming Fermi family of GPUs also promise to be much more programmable than today's graphics chips, but it is not x86-compatible.
Even though both ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia now have time to create exceptionally flexible graphics and data processing architectures that may rival Intel's GPU in terms of programmability, the Larrabee engineer tends to be optimistic: he claims that Intel may release Larrabee when it wants to, not when the market might need it.
"Intel has the luxury of being able to release stuff in its own time, there are not too many other companies that can do that," the industry insider is reported to have said.
The optimism towards Larrabee does not seem to be reasoned. Both ATI and Nvidia have roadmaps in place and the industry knows what to expect from these two companies. Meanwhile, the world's largest chipmaker has already cancelled at least one Larrabee project and the launch timeframe of another Larrabee is not clear. Even though select software developers are supposed to get the cancelled Larrabee chips and tools to experiment with many-core programming, it will still not be obvious for them what to expect from the new Larrabee and whether there is a reason to develop for it.
