International Ploughing Match
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jim Jordan Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, the International Ploughing Match held this year in Haldimand-Norfolk brought together the best the nation can offer in the art of ploughing the land.
This year a friend of mine, Mr. Lloyd Vandusen, was the clear winner in two categories of ploughing. Lloyd won championship horse ploughman for Ontario and he scored the highest points of the match in the horse competition.
Lloyd is the best ploughman in Canada and probably the best in the world. I want to personally thank him for the leadership he has shown in creating and maintaining a high interest in the art of ploughing throughout this nation.
Congratulations Lloyd, you are truly the champion.
Canada Pension Plan
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jay Hill Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Canada pension plan is in a crisis.
CPP was originally intended to provide retirement pensions for workers and aged survivors. Disability programs were under provincial jurisdiction.
Since 1970 when the first federal disability cheque was issued, amendments have increased benefits and made it easier to qualify. Now some insurance companies tell clients to apply for CPP disability before they collect any benefits from them. And government payments are deducted before the company plan kicks in. CPP disability is subsidizing private plans and jeopardizing the pension of every working Canadian.
That is not all that is wrong. If your disability claim is turned down by CPP, just appeal it to a tribunal. In more than three-quarters of the cases the original decision is overturned.
Let us save CPP for its original purpose: providing retirement security for our senior citizens. And let us properly address the needs of the country's disabled.
Papineau Family
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Maurice Dumas Argenteuil—Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, the history of my riding has been marked by the Papineau family, whose most illustrious member, Louis-Joseph Papineau, died 125 years ago this year.
This great man and patriot, who owned the Petite-Nation seigneury, occupies an important place in Quebec history, as his main vocation was to defend the rights of Quebecers. To serve this cause, he became a member of Parliament.
The town of Papineauville in my riding was named in honour of his brother Denis-Benjamin Papineau.
Henri Bourassa, Louis-Joseph Papineau's grandson and the founder of Le Devoir , was the first mayor of Papineauville, which celebrates this year its 100th anniversary.
We are proud of this rich history. The people of Petite-Nation have inherited these great figures' love for their region. Although they died many years ago, Louis-Joseph Papineau, Denis-Benjamin Papineau and Henri Bourassa are still present in the lives of the people of the Petite-Nation region.
Liberal Government
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, in response to the B.C. government's imaginative proposals to improve the CPP, the Liberals' only response has been to absurdly
accuse the B.C. government of playing into the hands of the right-wingers at the Fraser Institute.
The Liberals can speak with authority on the Fraser Institute. They have been singing from the Fraser Institute's hymn book ever since coming to power in 1993: deficit cutting at whatever cost to medicare, the CBC and the fabric of our communities; privatizing and deregulating transportation at whatever cost to regions like northern Manitoba; attacking inflation but tolerating depression-like unemployment. It was all there on the Fraser Institute's wish list and the Liberals have delivered.
The Liberals have not delivered on jobs, they have not delivered on child care, on the CBC, on the GST, on medicare, on drug patents, in short on anything that is important to the quality of life for hard working Canadians.
If the Liberals who still have an ounce of attachment to their old tradition of building rather than destroying institutions do not stand up to the Fraser Institute interloper who poses as the finance minister, the Liberals will erode-

Land Mines
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the ministers of defence and foreign affairs and others on Canada's leadership in the worldwide campaign to ban land mines. I hope we continue to support the efforts of the Canadian Red Cross and Mines Action Canada to develop an effective international ban.
I also urge the government and the armed forces to support de-mining around the world. We should make particular efforts to develop effective techniques and technologies to remove the millions of land mines which kill and maim people around the world every day.
Expertise on these matters is available in Canada. Land mines, like gas and biological weapons, are inhuman and unacceptable in the modern world.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Larry McCormick Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox And Addington, ON
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity to applaud the accomplishments of two fastball teams from my riding of Hastings-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington. This summer the Napanee Midget and Junior Express each displaced over 30 teams to win provincial elimination competitions and to earn places in the Canadian championship playoffs.
I am also very proud today to recognize coaches and all the volunteers in this organization who provided youth with the opportunity to develop skills and a winning attitude.
The Napanee Midget Express travelled to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan where they achieved silver medal standing. The Napanee Junior Express came home from their national playoffs in St. John's, Newfoundland with gold.
During the midget eliminations which were held in my riding I commented that while winning is wonderful, the real joy resides in playing the game. Well, winning is sweet too.
I believe that only once before have two of the winning Canadian championship teams come from the same town. Look what can be done when dedicated volunteers and energetic youth combine their talents. Please join me in extending well deserved congratulations.
Port Williams Elementary School
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
John Murphy Annapolis Valley—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, Port Williams Elementary School in my riding of Annapolis Valley-Hants was recently named one of the country's five greatest schools by Today's Parent magazine.
This recognition is indeed a great accomplishment. Clearly it is proof that our public education system is a model of excellence. In communities all across this country our public schools are staffed by dedicated professionals and volunteers truly working to make a positive difference in the lives of our young people.
I would ask all members of this House to join me in congratulating Port Williams Elementary School principal Sandi Carmichael, all of her staff, the community, the volunteers and of course the students who help make this school so special. They are truly deserving of this national recognition.
New Agenda For Africa
Statements By Members
September 25th, 1996 / 2:05 p.m.
Philippe Paré Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, the UN carried out a mid-term review of its new agenda for Africa. This five-year program is aimed at helping the 47 nations on that disaster-stricken continent, including the 35 poorest countries in the world. Canada maintained only a discreet presence at this rather important meeting to deal with the pressing poverty problem.
Eliminating world poverty is one of the priorities of Canada's foreign policy. Despite this and although Canada has always favoured international forums, the government did not see fit to
send a ministerial representative to this meeting to debate these vital issues.
It just so happens that the Minister of Foreign Affairs is in New York this week for the opening of the 51st session of the UN General Assembly. In light of the major differences between the two Canadian delegations, we question the government's real commitment to a priority it set itself. We hope this is only an honest mistake and not a decision to turn away from Africa and even from the UN.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville, AB
Mr. Speaker, many Canadians are concerned that we are being culturally and economically Americanized. Why is this? Could it be because there are fewer obstacles to doing business with the United States than with other Canadian provinces?
This government has talked a lot about its commitment to removing internal trade barriers. That is good. However, its actions have been weak and ineffective. This government's complacency has led to recent conflicts between provinces. New Brunswick and B.C. are fighting over job poachers, Ontario and Quebec over construction jobs, and Quebec and Newfoundland over Churchill Falls.
These disputes which could have been settled with a strong agreement on internal trade are instead pitting province against province and harming national unity.
This government's ineffectiveness in removing internal trade barriers is eroding our national identity and is tearing our country apart.
1997 Francophone Games
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bonnie Brown Oakville—Milton, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to correct a false impression that was left in the minds of Canadians as a result of an article that appeared in a national newspaper on July 23. The article implied that the government is spending more on the Francophone Games of 1997 than we spent on the Olympics in Atlanta. This is false.
In fact Sports Canada provided $615,000 to send our team to Atlanta, but it also provides $20 million annually toward the athletes' preparation programs and more than $7 million in direct assistance to our carded athletes.
Since 1992 the government has spent almost $115 million aimed at Olympic sports organizations and their athletes. That is over 40 times the amount we are spending on the Francophone Games.
The upcoming games in Madagascar are also an opportunity for our athletes to start preparing for the next Olympics. That is what happened in 1994 in Paris where Bruny Surin won the gold medal in the 100 metres and Donovan Bailey won the silver.
Official Languages
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, this afternoon the staff of Green Gables House in Prince Edward Island National Park will be presented with a certificate of merit by the Commissioner of Official Languages on behalf of the Government of Canada.
The managers of this regional office of the Department of Canadian Heritage continue to meet the objectives of the Official Languages Act by striving at all times to maintain adequate bilingual staff. This summer the two regular and 14 seasonal employees hired were all bilingual.
Congratulations to the Prince Edward Island National Park staff for the excellent service they provide to visitors and islanders alike in both official languages.
The Montreal Economy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nick Discepola Vaudreuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec separatists seem determined to do away with Montreal and its people, whom they hold responsible for the successive referendum reverses they have suffered.
Besides appointing the token minister responsible for Montreal and making vague commitments to work toward national reconciliation, the Parti Quebecois has not done a thing for Montreal. It is standing by as the city slowly but inexorably loses its investors, its jobs and its brains.
As if to speed up Montreal's collapse, Quebec separatists have decided to unilaterally re-open the language debate to please a handful of radical militants.
In terms of a strategy for Montreal's recovery, we have seen better, we have never seen worse. The Parti Quebecois and its separatist allies are deluding themselves and other Quebecers with this idea that Montreal has to be weakened for their plan to achieve independence to succeed.
The Member For Pierrefonds-Dollard
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michel Daviault Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, we can understand that, in parliaments, all kinds of views are exchanged and differences in ideas might result in opposing, questionable views being expressed, which may even cause controversy. But we cannot and must not let an elected representative make remarks
aimed at unfairly and wrongfully discrediting another elected representative.
Yesterday, the hon. member for Pierrefonds-Dollard tried to link the leader of the Bloc Quebecois to Raymond Villeneuve, an extremist whose revolting remarks have been unanimously condemned.
How can any connection be made in this Parliament between the leader of the Bloc Quebecois and Mr. Villeneuve, when the hon. member for Roberval was the first political leader to dissociate himself from and condemn these remarks, saying that they did not reflect the views of any member of the sovereignist movement in Quebec.
It is inadmissible for a member of this Parliament to impute motives when they are totally contrary to the facts.

Peace and Sport and the BWF have launched their second joint project to encourage peace and social cohesion through badminton.
Following the successful collaboration with the "Badminton por la Paz" project in Columbia in 2011, Peace and Sport and the BWF have work closely with NGOs in Timor Leste, Badminton Asia and the Federación de Badminton de Timor Leste on a project which will provide opportunities for vulnerable youth to learn through badminton.
"Badminton ba Dame" (Badminton for Peace in Tetum language) is a project using badminton and its values to teach peace culture to young people in Timor-Leste by facilitating dialogue and social cohesion.
Badminton will be offered to young people living in poor neighbourhoods of the capital Dili to support their social integration and fight against the influence of violent gangs.
The project will be initially inaugurated in six youth centres in and around Dili on 15 and 17 June, with an initiation day on 18 June which brings together young people from all 10 centres involved in the program in the presence of the Secretary of State for Sport H.E. Mr. Manetelu and Mr. Kaveh Mehrabi, a "Champion for Peace" who is representing the President of Peace and Sport, Mr Joël Bouzou.

Paralympian Lonnie Hannah Helping Injured Veterans Through Operation Comfort
SAN ANTONIO, Texas--Capturing a sled hockey gold medal in Salt Lake City six years ago was one of the best moments of Lonnie Hannah's life. Winning another goal medal in Vancouver in 2010 at the age of 46 would also be considered a marquee achievement.
But the essence of the Olympics and Paralympics is really about helping others.
In addition to training for the sled hockey competition in Vancouver, Hannah also coaches and helps guide a program called Operation Comfort, a sled hockey team in San Antonio made up of wounded soldiers recovering from injuries suffered in Iraq.
"This program was started in 2006 as a way for the soldiers to bond together," Hannah said. "They've all been through similar experiences in Iraq and it's really something to see them working together. Some of them have never played hockey before. We have three players from Puerto Rico on the team who have learned the game.
"Though some of the soldiers heal up and eventually move out of San Antonio and off the team, it's just a great experience. A couple of the soldiers had been very quiet when they got here. After a while, they really opened up because they had others to share their experience with."
The team, which plays home games at the Northwoods Ice & Golf Center, competes in tournaments all over the country.
"We've played in Chicago, Park City, Utah, Dallas," Hannah said. "The team really has a great time competing. It's really something to see. They have a bond that can't be broken."
To clarify, sled hockey is played on sleds on ice. Sticks are cut small enough so that they have a pick on the butt end and they use that dig into the ice to push the sled. Then they flip the stick to the blade side when they get to the puck.
Aside from playing a large role in Operation Comfort, Hannah is frantically trying to get ready for a trip to Vancouver. He had briefly retired after the Salt Lake City Games but was lured back by the thrill of competition.
"I really thought I was done and retired after Salt Lake City," Hannah said. "I missed it a lot so I decided to give it one more go-round. I'm 44 now and by the time Vancouver rolls around, I'll be 46. I'm definitely the oldest player on the national team. When the other players train, it means I have to train that much harder.
"But I'm having a great time with it. I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to competing for a gold medal one last time. It's kind of addicting when you get started training again. It's hard to get it out of your system."
When Hannah began working with the wounded soldiers, it was at that point when he knew his career wasn't quite finished yet.
"The soldiers are wounded and recovering and they're giving it everything they have in this sport," Hannah said. "It's so inspiring to be a part of that and watch how they compete. So I talked it over with my family and decided I really wanted to try one last time. My juices are flowing and I'm having a great time. The chance to play for your country one last time is something I'm excited about.
"I noticed in the (Summer) Olympics with the U.S. men's basketball team how the players said winning a gold medal and playing for your country was bigger than anything they had ever been a part of. That's how I feel. To culminate all this hard work and training with a gold medal would be the ultimate feeling."
At 44, there are days when the legs are a little tired. All Hannah has to do is go to practice and watch the soldiers.
"It doesn't take much to get up and go after being with the soldiers," Hannah said. "It's a great motivating tool. They're such great guys, too. For me, I have the best of both worlds."

A bootleg on the other hand could be a concert or outtakes that have been recirded or oeaked and then released by someone. Think the most famous bootleg is Dylan in Albert Hall recorded I think 1966 with the band. This concert was officially released some years ago in the Dylan ongoin bootleg series It was then discovered that this concert actually was recorded in Manchester.

"Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble. "
Teddy Forstmann, Who Revived Gulfstream, Dies at 71
Theodore Forstmann, the private equity investor credited with turning around Gulfstream Aerospace, died Nov. 20 at age 71. His investment firm, Forstmann Little & Company, acquired Gulfstream in 1990 for $800 million. When the Savannah, Ga.-based aircraft manufacturer began experiencing financial difficulties, Forstmann took a hands-on approach and appointed himself chairman and CEO. During his seven-year tenure, he revamped the management team, created new product lines, introduced aircraft fractional ownership and launched the then-flagship GV. Forstmann sold Gulfstream to General Dynamics for $5.6 billion in 1999. In addition to being a founding partner of Forstmann Little, he was chairman and CEO of IMG, a global sports and media company.

What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us: Why Happiness Eludes the Modern Woman
What has gone wrong? What can be done to set it right? These are the questions Danielle Crittenden answers in "What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us." Crittenden is the founder and editor of "The Women's Quarterly" magazine. In only four years, Crittenden's "Quarterly" has made itself the center of a new national debate about women. Her views and writings have been cited, reprinted, argued, lauded, and criticized across the country. Mary Matalin describes the "Quarterly" as "one of my most favorite magazines on the planet." George Will calls it "a bright light," and even Betty Friedan, with whom Crittenden has sparred, concedes that her views are on "the cutting edge."
In "What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us," Crittenden looks at the big topics in women's lives: sex, marriage, motherhood, work, aging, and politics. She argues that a generation of women has been misled: taught to blame men and pursue independence at all costs. Happiness is obtainable, Crittenden says, but only if women will free their minds from outdated feminist slogans and habits of behavior:
"There are a great many women unhappy because they acted upon the wisdom passed along to them by the people they most trusted. These women thought they did everything right only to have it turn out all wrong. That thewisdom they received was faulty, that it was based on false assumptions, is a hard lesson for anyone to learn. But it is a lesson every woman growing up today will have to learn as I, and thousands upon thousands of women of my generation, had to learn, often painfully."
By drawing on her own experience and the decade she has spent researching and analyzing modern female life, Crittenden passionately and engagingly tackles the myths that keep women from realizing the happiness they deserve. And she introduces a new way of thinking about women's problems that may, finally, help women achieve the lives they desire. "What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us" is sure to ignite debate not only across the country but, more compellingly, within the reader herself.
With a college degree from an elite university, a top-level job at the N.E.A., a loving and successful husband, and two adorable children, Amanda Bright is ready to conquer the world. But when she decides to leave her career to be a stay-at-home mom, Amanda finds that her college degree, her professional wardrobe, and glamorous friends and connections are no preparation for her new life. Gone are the days of meetings and power lunches; Amanda's days are now filled with changing diapers, mopping up spills, and singing 'The Itsy, Bitsy Spider' over and over. While everyone else around her is on the fast track, it's getting harder for Amanda to even remember-or appreciate-why she left work in the first place. Mothers everywhere will laugh and cry along with Amanda as she experiences the daily trials of adjusting to this new life -and discovers that success isn't always measured in the workplace.
It's a little-known fact that President Bush — known to his Instant Messenger buddies as "Kickass43" — has logged almost as much time chatting online as he has clearing brush at Crawford. Now this hilarious collection of imaginary online correspondence between the POTUS and pals sheds light and empathy on W's tumultuous second term in office. Whether it's dodging Harriet Miers after the fallout of her Supreme Court nomination, hosting a live online chat with the nation's schoolchildren to disastrous effect, or the surprising late-night alliance with Bill Clinton ("Ladeezman42") because both wish to keep Hillary out of the White House, you'll never look at politics the same way again. Gleefully poking fun at political figures on both sides of the divide, The President's Secret IMs is wickedly clever, deliciously irreverent, and in the words of Kickass43, "ttly awesum" and "gr8." Srsly.

Highlights from the Marine Programme at GRID-Arendal for January 2011
Oceans of Possibilities – How Blue can lead to Green
GRID-Arendal, as part of an early scoping phase, is seeking input, advice, interest, experience and ideas that can serve to develop a novel concept building upon efforts made and leading to an innovative approach in promoting renewable energy expansion for "green developing" countries.
Oceans are a vast source of untapped energy available in a variety of ways. High energy consuming countries are already promoting and expanding development leading to the harvesting of offshore clean energy. As interest grows from developing countries seeking to increase their energy supply, sustainable development principles and environmental stressors are driving many to examine renewable energy as a source of for their future.
The aim of the project is to pave the way for emerging economies (from national to community scales) to exchange knowledge, information and lessons learned to plan and deploy renewable energy systems, seeding the foundations for a truly "green economy". It seeks to bring national and community leaders together with industry and scientific stakeholders to identify the needs, priorities and possibilities for a given country, region and/or community, in order to co-develop solutions and bring together the necessary "ingredients" to actualize these solutions.

Keble, John
John Keble 1792-1866
English poet, priest, critic, essayist, and biographer.
Keble was a principal advocate of the Tractarian, or Oxford, Movement in England of the 1830s—the leaders of which argued that the Anglican Church was one of three valid branches of the Catholic Church, the other two being the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox. As a poet, Keble is regarded for The Christian Year (1827), a collection of Victorian devotional verse which proposes that God is revealed analogically through nature. The work is counted among the most popular poetic collections in English of the nineteenth century. A noted clergyman, Keble produced a number of sermons on politico-religious themes, and also wrote critical essays and literary theory, a biography, and several more collections of religious poetry, including Lyra Innocentium (1846). While a decline in esteem for Keble's verse has occurred since his death, he is generally regarded as an influential figure of nineteenth-century Anglicanism and an important devotional poet.
Biographical Information
Keble was born near Fairford in Gloustershire, England. His father John Keble, Sr. was the vicar of Coln St. Aldwyn's, and had graduated from Corpus Christi, Oxford, a school both John and his younger brother Thomas attended. Following his distinguished years at Oxford, which brought him in contact with many of the leading intellectual figures of the England of his day, Keble was ordained a deacon in 1815, and a priest the following year. He embarked on the career of a clergyman by serving as a curate in Gloustershire, and later, following his mother's death in 1823, in Southrop. By this time Keble had begun to write the poems of The Christian Year. In 1825, Keble moved to Hampshire after accepting a position at Hursley. His first departure from Hursley was swift; in response to the death of his youngest sister he returned to Fairford, eventually taking his father's place as vicar of Coln St. Aldwyn. A year after his father had died in 1835, Keble renewed his vicarship at Hursley, where he would reside for the remainder of his life. In addition to his priestly vocation, Keble continued writing poetry and prose until his death on 29 March 1866 in Bournemouth.
Major Works
The Christian Year, which features numerous structural parallels to the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, contains a verse for every Sunday and holy day of the year, and offers a Wordsworthian view of nature as a revelation of God. In National Apostasy Considered in a Sermon (1833), Keble reviled the British government for its encroachment on the decision-making power of the Church of England, specifically in regard to the distribution of bishoprics in Ireland. Primitive Tradition Recognized in Holy Scripture (1836) illustrates the essential conservatism of Keble's religious thought. Though somewhat labored and verbose, Keble's eight-volume biography of a seventeenth-century Anglican bishop, The Life and Work of the Right Reverend Father in God, Thomas Wilson, nevertheless exhibits Keble's devoutness and dedication to detail in ecclesiastical matters. Among the eight pieces Keble contributed to Tracts for the Times, a collection of essays elucidating the views associated with the Oxford Movement, "On the Mysticism Attributed to the Early Church Fathers" (1841) reveals the Tractarian notion of Analogy—the belief that God is revealed in the Bible and in nature analogically. Keble's critical work is exemplified in his 1844 De Poeticae vi Medica: Praelectiones Academicae (Lectures on Poetry). In this work, Keble lays out his aesthetic theory, which hinges on a religious interpretation of poetry as a spiritual catharsis necessary to calm the soul.
Critical Reception
While Keble's works of prose and priestly sermons brought him early notoriety, his first nationwide recognition came with the publication of his poetry, notably the verses of The Christian Year, which became enormously popular. Later esteem came with Keble's involvement in the Oxford Movement, anticipated by the poems of this collection and by his sermons. As Keble's contemporary and fellow Tractarian John Henry Newman claimed, the Tractarian Movement was inaugurated with the delivery of Keble's 1833 Assize Sermon, a piece later published as National Apostasy Considered in a Sermon. Modern critics have since frequently compared his sermons to those of Newman, whose ideas and expression are thought to compliment Keble's own. Overall, commentators generally perceive Keble's lasting contribution in terms of his prose writings on Tractarian aesthetics and influence as a seminal member of the Oxford Movement. He is additionally regarded for the devotional verse of The Christian Year—a work principally viewed as an enduring statement of Victorian piety.

Sir J. T. Coleridge (essay date 1869)

[In the following excerpt, Coleridge recounts the early publication history of Keble's The Christian Year.]
Keble returned to a home sadly changed by the death of his sister. I do not think that in the course of his life he sustained any loss which he felt more acutely; beyond the privation to himself in the death of a sister so loved, a companion at once so bright and lively, so sensible and good, he could not but be affected by the blow to his father, and even more his invalide and suffering sister, now left alone. Dyson, who visited at Fairford more often than I did, and knew Mary Anne more familiarly, wrote to me at the time, and I transcribe a part of his letter, as in a few words he does her so much more justice than I have been able to do in many:—
Oh, Coleridge, what a sad blow to her family, the loss of Mary Anne Keble; poor I must not call her after the common usage, since she has so infinitely the advantage of all left behind. John Keble sent me word of her loss soon after it happened, and gave, as far as could be given so early after the blow, a comfortable account of his father and sister; and to be sure, if the truest piety, and most practical submission can give any comfort under such a loss, they will have it, and I dare to say, will perhaps at first feel it less, than their immediate friends will for them. But when I think what a loveable being she was in herself, what an affectionate, gentle, guileless, and truly simple heart she had, and how little the cares and affection of the best and tenderest men can supply the unwearying, assiduous, self-denying, attachment of a daughter and sister, I must be apprehensive of the effect upon her father and Elizabeth from such a loss, a loss to be perceived not in one stunning blow, and all is over, but to be felt daily and hourly; I hope, however, and I pray for the best for them.
This was written early in October, 1826. The letters which both Dyson and I received in the following months shew that any apprehension of permanent depression of spirits would have been groundless; all three of the survivors were strong in their common faith, and the picture which Keble draws of his aged father and sister, and unconsciously of himself, under this visitation is most cheering and instructive.
He says to Dyson early in November:—
Amongst all the friendly letters we received, your's seemed one of the most valuable, because you both of you understood dearest Mary Anne so well, and loved her so truly. Whenever we meet or hear from you, it will seem something of an approach to her, and do not fear but by the blessing of God our meetings may be cheerful and happy enough. I am sure you would think so, if you could see how very comfortable both my father and Elizabeth are, and how unaffectedly they enter into the spirit of everything that is going on around them. Indeed, I don't think you would see any difference in my father, and I am not sure that you would in Elizabeth.
It was an additional trial to the former during this winter, that his increasing weakness prevented him from discharging his duties at Coln personally, to which Keble alludes in writing to me on the 22nd of January, 1827:—
You would like to see my father, how very quietly he takes his suspension from clerical duties, which I used always to fear would be too sharp a trial for him whenever it took place. But it really does not seem to vex him at all. He stays at home, and is quite contented and cheerful, in the office, as he says, of Chaplain to Elizabeth. And Elizabeth's great delight is to do all the things that Mary Anne used to do, and fancy her only gone away for a short visit to a place where she is very happy, and soon to shew herself again; if one may call it fancy, which one verily believes to be the real truth.
He speaks of himself as—
… Having swung comfortably back to his old moorings, and certainly," says he, "it is more comfortable to have some one to say 'good bye' to every night, and not to have to eat and drink, and talk by oneself, only it remains to be proved whether one who has been usually very idle, when he had a good deal to do, will suddenly turn industrious, when his sphere of action is so much diminished. Certainly the days do not seem long, or irksome, but I am afraid that is a very equivocal sign of industry. …
But he was not idle; he was now supplying his father's place at Coln entirely, and as Coln was three miles off, it occupied more of his time than if he had been strictly resident. Moreover, that tax was now beginning to be imposed upon him, which in after life became very burthensome, the answering the letters of those who consulted him in their religious doubts and difficulties. This, it is well known, is the lot of many distinguished persons; but it is remarkable that it should have commenced with him at a time when he would have seemed to be so little known.
In the same letter, from which my last extract was made, he tells me that he had gone "through every word of an immense bundle of papers," the remains of a deceased convert from Quakerism, with a view to advising whether they should be published or not. He asks for information on the question whether the present Quakers maintained the opinions of George Fox and Co.; on which the answer in that case seemed to him to turn. Again, and about the same time, Cornish had consulted him on the conscientious difficulties of a young lady; and his answer is so sensible, that I cannot forbear transcribing it; many persons, I believe, are occasionally in the condition of the young lady; who may perhaps profit by the advice:—
I am clearly of opinion the young lady should discontinue these observances which seem to fret and distract her so much. It seems like Fasting, which no one is tied to, even by the laws of the Church, when it is bonâ fide against their health: much less by any rule they can set themselves. Clearly this is a case of melancholy from bodily constitution, and the person should be recommended to avoid all vows and singularities of every kind, as mere snares. I seem to be speaking so positively about what I must be ignorant of, that I am afraid my opinion is worth even less than usual: but supposing the representation in your friend's letter to be correct, and Jeremy Taylor right in his Ductor Dubitantium, touching the management of a scrupulous conscience, (p. 158 et seqq.,) I don't think I can be very wide of the mark; besides you have given me a pretty broad hint in what way you mean to proceed, and wish to be advised. At any rate a person of this temperament should be cautioned, as matter of duty, to refrain from binding herself by anything like voluntary vows in future; it is a mere snare, and should be repressed like any other temptation. If she cannot be quite satisfied, (as at times I suppose she will not,) with having broken through her own rule in this instance, why cannot she add one sentence to her morning or evening devotions, relating to this particular subject; this, if made habitual, would, as it seems to me, answer all purposes; but she must not be fanciful, and imagine one's prayers do no good if one is uncomfortable all the time. I am sure it would be bad enough with some of us, if we let present comfort come into our calculations on that matter.
"Fairford, April 28, 1827."
These are but instances; he was busy too in his theological reading, and acquiring that intimate knowledge of the Fathers, which had such a marked influence on his theological feeling, if I may use that term, and the habitual train of his thoughts on any religious question. He was examining too, with an interest awakened by the times, the foundation and the limits of the alliance of Church and State, specially of the right of the latter to interfere with the former in matters purely ecclesiastical. In the letter dated June 22, 1827, in which he mentions the publication of The Christian Year, he goes on to a consideration which seems to me very interesting, and which I know not whether any other writer has ever noticed or enlarged on. It was clearly an original thought to Keble:—
"The speculation," says he, "I referred to in a former letter, and on which you desired more explanation, was this. It seems clear to me, on reading over the Old Testament, that the example of the Jews as a nation, is there held out in such a way as to regulate and correct the religious conduct of us Christians as individuals. The covenant with them collectively was a type of that made with us separately; and the faults into which they fell analogous to what may be expected, and to what we really experience, in our own private dealings with the Almighty; this, I suppose, is what makes the Old Testament, as a whole, so useful to be considered by every Christian; and in this I persuade myself that I see a strong auxiliary evidence of the truth of both dispensations, as well as divers other useful corollaries, if I could but develope them; but it will take a great deal of reading, thinking, and writing, to make out the matter properly and usefully, and I have only, as it were, begun to think about it. I mention it to you, that you may tell me if it seems absurd at first sight, or sufficiently done already. I should like, if I could, to turn my hours to some account; but long habits of idleness are not got over in a moment. I have been to Oxford once or twice lately, and it makes one quite fidgetty to see what a bustle and business every one is always in. I had half a mind to go to Bishop Lloyd and ask him to set me some task."
He had a great regard and respect for that good, and able, and original man, and he thought his services as Divinity Professor, especially the private Lectures which he instituted, extremely valuable. The Bishop also was very fond of him.
Although Keble speaks of his idleness, which indeed he was fond of doing, the preceding months of the year had brought about the completion, and finished the printing of The Christian Year. Pursuing my plan of giving all details which seem to me at all interesting in respect of this great work, I must go back a little in my narrative and my extracts from his letters. In the beginning of February he acknowledges to me the return of some part of the manuscript which had been under my hands; he does this with his usual overflowing kindness, and I could hardly transcribe the passage, if I had not to qualify it by adding, that I believe after all he rejected, and with good reason, a very large proportion of my suggestions. The passage, moreover, adds a fact worth preserving as to the adviser to whom we owe the beautiful Verses on the Occasional Services, which, curiously enough, seem not to have formed part of his original plan:—
Now I must thank you with all my might for the very kind trouble you have taken about my concerns; you have set to work like a true friend, and I shall always love you the better for it, only I am afraid you have been taking a good deal more trouble than the affair was worth. I have set myself at work rather hardish to revise the MS., and have made a good many corrections, one or two I hope to re-write entirely; and I also want to add something on each of the Occasional Services, in pursuance of a hint I had from Davison. I have done a few stanzas for the Communion, and if I have a good spring-flow of rhyme, I hope to be ready with the others, as far as the Commination, in a month or six weeks, and then I purpose to go up to Oxford, and print without delay. I had wished to put it off for a year for the sake of the vignettes, but my father seems really anxious to have it done without loss of time, and I think one should be uncomfortable, if one did not try one's best to meet his wishes; at the same time, I am quite aware of the defects you mention, and will do my best to mend them. I shall, however, be the more easy in not sending the rest of the MS. to you, as most of the passages you have marked were places which I was before dissatisfied with, and wished to alter; in some few you have not caught my meaning, as I believe, through hurry, and in some I differ in grammar or taste; but on the whole, I am exactly of your mind, and I hope to be a tolerable substitute for you in the office of criticising the rest. My theological plans, about which you enquire, are hardly plans enough to be stated on paper; they are mere schemes floating loosely in my head. But when I have done this job, and read one or two more of the Father, I hope to tell myself something more clearly about it. Farewell, my most dear friend.
"Fairford, Feby 9, 1827."
The natural wish of his aged father to see the work published before he died, made it now to him an imperative duty to delay no longer; from this time he neither hesitated nor flagged in the prosecution of the work. His mention of vignettes had reference to a scheme, which he rather favoured at this time, of illustrating the book, with the help of some accomplished lady friends. Several vignettes, as he calls them, were indeed drawn; but he abandoned this idea, which Cornish dissuaded him from; and thenceforward he always opposed anything of the kind, though it was more than once pressed on him. I rather think he did not abide by the prudent resolution he announces of sending no more of the MS. to me for my criticism, for I possess a later and detailed acknowledgment, in which I was more surprised than pleased, to find that I had actually recommended the suppression entirely of the verses on the Tenth Sunday after Trinity. He meets this very simply with the remark, that it was a special favourite with some others of his critics.
On the 22nd of June, 1827, he announced to me that my copy of The Christian Year was on the road from Oxford, and on the next day I received it. His announcement was short and simple, and without comment, and then he passed on, as he said, "to more interesting affairs." I am certain that he had not the slightest idea at the time how important was the gift he had made to the world, nor how decisive a step he had taken in respect of his own character and reputation. We who had watched the work from the beginning were somewhat more enlightened, perhaps; but we had not, I think, fully comprehended the importance of the volume; we had, indeed, a very high opinion of it; we thought it would gradually win its way, and would exercise a great influence on its readers, but we were none of us prepared for its immediate success, still less for such a success as befel it. I have lying before me Mr. J. H. Parker's summary of the account from the beginning to January, 1854; in this period of less than twenty-six years I find 108,000 copies were issued in forty-three editions. The sale of the work never flagged through the remainder of his life; and in the Memoir of Mr. Moor, to which I have so often referred, a statement is made (especially remarkable considering a circumstance to which I must advert presently), that in the nine months immediately following his death seven editions were issued of 11,000 copies.
After what I have said above of my critical success in regard to this work in the prime of my life, I should be very unwise if in advanced old age I were to venture on an elaborate criticism of it here. Indeed, it seems to me hardly the fit subject for mere literary criticism as a volume of poetry. Whatever can be desired of that kind, however, has been admirably done already by Professor Shairp, of St. Andrews, in an "Essay on the Author of the Christian Year," published at Edinburgh in 1866, and those of my readers who shall be induced by this notice to read that masterly little book, will thank me, I am sure, for having referred them to it.
Yet the publication of The Christian Year was such an event in Keble's life, and the work itself so interesting and important, that I venture to set down, not with any system or order, what are rather my personal experiences in the reading it, than anything like regular criticism upon it. This may, perhaps, be the way in which my remarks may be most useful, especially to young persons. I will say, then, that it is one of those volumes of poetry which no one should take up to read through at once, or as a continued study; few volumes even of miscellaneous poetry will bear this; but the very design of The Christian Year protests against it; it was meant, and should be taken, as an accompaniment to the services of the Prayer-book. It will be found to have a special significance, if read as such; and for this mode of study and meditation, it is particularly fitted by two among other qualities. The first that it is so wonderfully Scriptural. Keble's mind was by long, and patient, and affectionate study of Scripture, so imbued with it, that its language, its train of thought, its mode of reasoning, seem to flow out into his poetry, almost, one should think, unconsciously to himself. They are always there, yet never intruded. Many times, I may say for myself, the meaning of what had been an obscure passage in Holy Writ, or the true character and teaching of an incident, has flashed on me in reading the verses, of which it has been made the text for the day's meditation. I have heard of a clergyman in a rural parish in Worcestershire who was in the habit of reading, and explaining from the pulpit, in lieu of an afternoon sermon, the poem for the Sunday; and I have no doubt such a practice, with proper comments, might be pursued with very good effect. It has often struck me, what an excellent skeleton of a sermon this or that poem suggests. The second quality I would notice, is its almost inexhaustible novelty; whether this be owing to the depth of the thought, the pregnancy of the language, or, as severer critics have said, to the imperfect expression of the thought, or to all combined, I will not undertake to decide; but speaking generally, I should say, read it as often as you will, you...

Jules Engel was born in Budapest in 1915, emigrating with his parents to the United States, Illinois, in 1935. After moving to Los Angeles to study at the Chouinard Art Institute in 1937, he began working for Walt Disney. Throughout his career he worked on Fantasia and Bambi, created the characters Gerald McBoing Boing and Mr Magoo and was nominated for an Oscar for his animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright. Engel was a founding member of the United Productions of America (UPA) animation studio.
Engel was also accomplished in painting and printmaking. In 1966 he worked at Gemini Ltd on the lithographic series New York, New York. Through the use of repeated line and muted colour the works in this series create a sense of upward motion that recalls the vertiginous feeling of staring up at a row of skyscrapers.

United Flying Honeywell SmartPath Approaches in Houston
United Airlines flew the first precision approach using Honeywell's SmartPath Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) into Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) on Monday.

The SmartPath GBAS system augments GPS signals for precision navigation during the approach and landing phases of flight. According to Honeywell, GBAS provides flexible approaches and landings that could reduce aircraft delays and carbon emissions at airports.
"We believe that GBAS is the air carrier precision landing system of the future," said Capt. Joe Burns, managing director of technology and flight testing at United.

United Airlines is currently operating flights using SmartPath on Boeing 737s equipped with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) landing system technology to utilize the GBAS landing approach data. IAH is the second U.S. airport to go live with SmartPath approaches.

I just had to add a bit about the crayons.
I am a co-founder of the Writers Inspiration Group which meets every Tuesday. We take turns providing writing prompts to the group. After the prompt is given we write for about 10 minutes. Then we go around and read, or pass. We don't critique; we just share. We are almost to our Fourth Anniversary.
Today I took in my pile of back-to-school supplies including 6 boxes of crayons. I also had some coloring pages I had printed off the Internet. I told the group about sniffing crayons and then let them color for awhile. Then we wrote about our back-to-school memories.

We loved our stay in Barbel's flat. Evertything was there and all off Reykjavik is within walking distance. Even had some sunshine to enjoy the balcony. Barbel did everything to make our stay a pleasant one and was flexible enough to let us stay a while longer as we waited for the car rental company.
Wonderful apartment in a fantastic location, quiet but literally 5 mins walk from the fabulous Laugavegur's shops, bars and restaurants. Barbel was an exceptional host and provided lots of information on Reykjavik and on Iceland in general. The apartment itself is extremely clean, modern and the attention to detail made this stay very comfortable (the bed was bliss and we both slept extremely well). Our intention is to be back in Iceland for a longer break in the summer and we'll be sure to stay here again when in Reykjavik.
As a tip for anyone arriving by bus from the airport or doing any trips with the company Reykjavik Excursions, use the Luxury Castle apartments which is literally round the corner as a drop off/pick up point.
Great apartment with everything you need. And the location doesn´t get any better in Reykjavik.
I would say... the BEST room in Reykjavik!! The room was clean and comfortable, the neighborhood was really quiet and peaceful, and Barbel was really really super nice... :) My family would love to stay here if we visit Reykjavik again.
This was all in all a perfect trip to Reykjavik. The apartment was great and well located to explore the city and the surroundings.
Thanks, Bärbel!
Perfect stay in an absolutely lovely apartment. Barbel is a fantastic host and made us feel completely welcome and at home. We feel very lucky to have been able to stay here. You should stay here too!
We had a wonderful stay at Barbel's apartment. It is very clean and spacious and beautifully decorated! Barbel is so accommodating and nice. We were grateful for the very central location, free parking and available laundry facilities. I highly recommend staying at this apartment if you are in Reykjavik!
Stayed for one night at Barbel's apartment.
Great place; clean, nice apartment, central, easy to park the car etc.
Barbel made a fine impression too.
We would live there again.
Fantastic apartment in the heart of Reykjavik. A perfect place to stay, nicely furnished, room for kids to play, and a really nice owner. Couldn't wish for more.
Warm welcome from the host: national fish called sild and rye bread baker in the hot lava earth. The appartement is fabulous, with comfortable beds and even an terras with tabel and chairs. Because of the warm weather, we could sit outside till late in the evening.
The appartement is located near the centrum. Close to shops and restaurants on walking distance.

Mysterious mushrooms...that's what I think whenever I see their strange fruits erupting from the ground.
I find observing mushrooms nearly as dependable as observing birds. No matter the season or location of my walks, I usually find birds and mushrooms to look at. I won't say identify, especially when referring to mushrooms, because I rarely positively name a mushroom.

A friend of mine sent me the following information as she thought it would be of interest not only to me, but also to some of my readers. I do not know its origin, nor have I validated it as factual, but after reading it; I felt it had enough merit to share. My father believed in using foods to prevent, as well as to treat, deficiencies in the body; he did not rely on vitamins and pills of any kind for that purpose. I have always agreed with his philosophy, for the most part, and shall, therefore, leave you to research further and/or draw your own conclusions.

The Williston Veterinary Clinic in cooperation with Merial, a company that produces pharmaceutical and biological products for dogs, cats and other animals, has recently sponsored a program that gives money back to worthy causes. The program is called Paws for Charity and gives money back for Frontline, a product that controls fleas and tickets, and Heartgard, a product that prevents heartworm disease and controls hookworms and roundworms, that are sold.
Williston Veterinary Clinic chose the Williston Animal Group as the recipient of the money that was given back by Merial.
It can be difficult finding things to write about in this column when I haven't made any trips to some different wildlife area. Winter can also pose a challenge even in Florida, because many plants have gone to seed and birds are not migrating through or nesting.
One flock of birds is migrating now, made late by weather conditions. The whooping cranes, accompanied by their human escort, will be traveling through our area. By the time this column is published they may already be in Crystal River, their winter home. It seems they will have little time before heading north again.
The chilly January days make most of us want to cook or bake and eat foods we refer to as comfort foods; something that one might say makes you feel "warm and fuzzy" all over. These are dishes that will evoke a memory from childhood or of a special person or past event which helps to create that "warm and fuzzy" feeling.
Donnette Robinson of Bronson announces the engagement and approaching marriage of her daughter Kristin Lynn Robinson to Matthew Downs. The wedding is planned for March 22, 2008 in St. Augustine.

Skip to comments.Coast To Coast AM: Tonight's Topics: "Apocalipticism" & "End of the Mayan Calendar"
Posted on 12/20/2012 10:04:37 AM PST by SilvieWaldorfMD
George Noory hosts. Tonight's topics: "Apocalipticism" and "End of the Mayan Calendar".
Please ping your list.
I think it is Goerge Noory's last show, right? We shall know at 6:12am tomorrow.
My only wish is that Art Bell would host.
(At 2:11pm ET today it will actually be 6:11am 12/21/12 in Sydney, Australia — since they are 16 hours ahead of us. Let's see if this pans out...)
Coast-2-coast ping
The Solstice will occur at 6:12am tomorrow EST which will be 10:12pm Friday night in Australia.
He has NO schedule posted for the upcoming days. (to keep with the theme, lol)
Blowing up this rock is God's recourse against letting it suffer through a second term...
So we're working on a EST time here?
In other words, did the Mayans pinpoint the 6:12amEST timetable and not Greenwich time?
I'm confused...
If the world ends while Noory is on air his last words will be "It's Bush's fault."
Noory is hanging up the mic?
If we are lucky, it will be his last show. I once listened to him interview a woman from Cheektowaga, NY who was able to channel the spirit of her dead pet lizard. Do I need to say more?
He won't be missed.
I was doing some checking a while back to see what Bell was up too. It seems he has made some comments about what Coast to Coast has become. And they are not nice. He says he no longer wishes to be associated with what it has become.
Art must have been joking.
The world will evaporate as each time zone is reached.
The Mayan's got the date wrong. TEOTWAWKI happened 4 years ago on election day.
Bell guested not long ago within the past year and came from a undisclosed location. Guy is mysterious. He quit in the 90s when his son had problems. Came back and quit again when he felt he had threats against him. That was when George Noory started from Saint Louis. He got moved to Los Angeles sometime back. Then Art decided to return on weekends only but not from Nevada. He wouldn't say. Then it came out his wife died. So he announced he was quitting and leaving the country to the Philippines. Then it came out he fell in love with a woman he married there. But he will not say where he came from the last he hosted the show.
He was probably broadcasting from the 'hollow point' of Earth between Norway and Greenland. LOL!
He's a strange one — yet he fascinates me with his stories and the way that he expresses himself...
Back in his double-wide in Pahrump. He doesn't answer his email anymore (mindspring account). Still doing his HAM radio stuff.
I think that he is quite serious.
"February 2, 2012, Bell commented on the subject via a post on the Coastgab forum: "Hi there, I thought it would be ok to stop in here and say hi from the High Desert!....
The following day he elaborated: "As for Coast, the show has changed, which from my point of view is a shame, but it is the right of the host doing the show to take it in the direction they see fit."
"On November 1, 2012, Bell updated his Facebook status with the following: "I wish my name was no longer associated with what Coast has become!"
