Where Urban and Rural Voters Agree: System Is Rigged
Dante Chinni is the director of the American Communities Project at American University, which examines different types of communities across the U.S.
Democrats and Republicans may have a hard time finding common ground. But if you look closely at the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, you'll also see signs of a rising populist tide in America that both parties may want to heed.
In nearly all political polls there is a consistent geographic trend that follows partisan lines: Urban places are most Democratic, rural places are most Republican and suburban places sit in between.
It's a difference that has become a big part of the presidential vote every four years – consider the 2012 exit polls (the urban/suburban/rural split is on the bottom on that page). And it is on display again in this latest poll — on everything from President Barack Obama's approval rating to the feelings the different areas have about the Affordable Care Act, known also as Obamacare.
Walking through those numbers is like walking on a set of stairs. On Obama approval, 54% approval in urban places, 40% in suburban, 33% in rural. On whether the ACA is a "good idea," 43% agree in urban areas, 34% in suburban and 23% in rural.
But when this latest poll turned to look at issues of inequality and foreign trade, the numbers moved and the stairs disappeared. Instead, there looks to be something of an agreement between those living in urban and rural locales: "the system" is not working for them. Among suburbanites, the views are more complicated.
On the question of whether the country is still a place where everyone "has an opportunity to get ahead and move up to a better standard of living," urban and rural Americans overwhelmingly feel that land of opportunity is gone. About 60% in urban and rural places say no to that question. Suburbanites aren't ecstatic about the current state of affairs in the U.S., but they are evenly divided on the opportunity question.
The divide is more noticeable on the second question. A majority of suburbanites, 53%, say they would be more likely to support a candidate who says "free trade with other countries will mainly be positive for America." But majorities of those who live in urban and rural locations, 51% and 59% respectively, say they would be more likely to support a candidate who says "free trade with other countries will mainly be negative for America."
There are likely a variety of factors driving those numbers, and at the root may be geographic spread of low-income households. Both urban and rural America both have large populations that are feeling relative pain in the current economic environment.
The numbers in the above chart, which come from a slightly modified version of the Brookings Institution's urban/suburban/ rural breakdowns, show how rural counties lag behind the rest of the nation in income.
Only about 16% of the households in rural America earn more than $100,000 a year. That's far lower than any of the other groups above. And while it is true that rural communities can have a lower cost of living, the number of $100,000 households is less than half that of Urban Suburbs. Meanwhile, the percentage of households earning less than $25,000 annually is the highest by far in rural counties, with more than 27% under that mark.
And remember that lower rural cost of living also means homes are likely worth less, which means lower "wealth" as well. Rural places missed out on a lot of the real estate boom of the last decade.
Just behind the rural counties in the percentage of low-income households? The most urban places: That is, Big City counties in the chart above, at about 25%. And in the Big Cities the percentage of households at the bottom of income scale is almost identical to the percentage of households at the top end, those earning more than $100,000 a year. Those households are in relatively close proximity to each other, which means those on the lower end see the income disparities up close.
The larger point in all these numbers is that populism, or economic unhappiness, has grown some roots in both Democratic and Republican base areas – overriding even the usual breakdown we usually see along urban/rural lines.
The challenge for both parties may be in what do to about it – how to secure their base voters in these areas without doing anything to upset suburbanites, who appear to be less uneasy about any winners and losers in the new economy, particularly where trade is concerned.
The Democrats have been pushing an increase in the minimum wage, which Republicans blocked in the Senate last week. And some Republicans say the party needs some kind of response or at least stance on the issue of income inequality.
None of this means there is a great coming together across urban and rural lines. There are still deep differences in urban and rural America. But these numbers suggest that a populist tide is growing in both places and Democrats and Republicans ignore it at their own peril.

Born Emmanuel Radnitsky in Philadelphia in 1890, Man Ray was raised in New York, where he began his artistic career. He was a regular at Alfred Stieglitz's Gallery 291, and attended classes at the Ferrer Centre before meeting Marcel Duchamp, who was to become a lifelong friend and collaborator. With Duchamp, Man Ray founded the Society of Independent Artists in 1916 and published the pamphlet New York Dada in 1920. In the same year the artist created his famous readymade The enigma of Isidore Ducasse, followed in 1921 by Cadeau, both of which feature in the National Gallery's collection.
In 1921 Man Ray relocated to Paris. It was here, among the artists of the bohemian Montparnasse district, that he began to work in the Surrealist style of photography for which he is best known. In 1966 Man Ray created two screen prints and a lithograph at Gemini GEL after visiting the studio out of interest while setting up his retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The three screen prints Untitled, Hands, and One hand, are based on the artist's signature 'rayograms'.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
Two weeks ago, the New York Times published a letter to the editor from Christopher Wolf, who leads the Internet Task Force of the Anti-Defamation League, in which he suggested:
It is time to consider Facebook's real-name policy as an Internet norm because online identification demonstrably leads to accountability and promotes civility.
People who are able to post anonymously (or pseudonymously) are far more likely to say awful things, sometimes with awful consequences, such as the suicides of cyberbullied young people. The abuse extends to hate-filled and inflammatory comments appended to the online versions of newspaper articles — comments that hijack legitimate discussions of current events and discourage people from participating.
Freedom of expression continues to come under attack in Mexico. This week, Mexican President Felipe Calderon announced that his government is exploring "all options to proceed legally against those who have denounced the government in international forums and in the courts." This announcement came in response to a complaint filed by Mexican activists and signed by over 23,000 Mexicans, in International Criminal Court last week, demanding that the court investigate alleged human rights violations by the army and the police as part of the state's war against the drug cartels.
The Canadian national anthem proudly honors "The True North strong and free!" Yet Canadians face an imminent round of frightening online spy proposals that threaten long held civil liberties and privacy rights. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has insisted that he won't budge in his support of online spying legislation despite heavy criticism from privacy watchdogs.
Next week, several EFF staffers will be speaking at the first-ever Silicon Valley Human Rights Conference (Rightscon) in San Francisco. The conference, organized by Access Now and sponsored by several foundations and companies, brings together some of the leading thinkers in the digital human rights space, as well as representatives of technology companies from Silicon Valley and beyond for discussions on the human rights implications of the ICT industry. The conference (tickets are still available here!) is jam-packed with excellent speakers and participants, and promises to provide new insights into solutions for the myriad problems facing Silicon Valley companies today.
Corporate Social Responsibility and the ICT Industry
NextGov.com is reporting that the FBI will begin rolling out its Next Generation Identification (NGI) facial recognition service as early as this January. Once NGI is fully deployed and once each of its approximately 100 million records also includes photographs, it will become trivially easy to find and track Americans.

Letting the season in
Jam of the week: "Treehome95" by Tyler, The Creator.
As I'm writing this column, it's a not-so comfortable 40 degrees outside in Webster City. While winter is apparently not going without a fight, I'm in full spring mode. The transition between these two season is easily the most exciting for me, because there are so many things to enjoy about this season that winter simply would not allow.
The first step to bringing in the season was letting it into my apartment. Simply working at my desk with spring-blessed warm air replacing the stuffy air of an apartment made me smile. I could barely get any work done on my taxes as I watched robins perch on my porch, rabbits running through farmland, and flies beating themselves to death against the screen door.
Of course, that also means spring cleaning is underway. Perhaps it was the warm weather that lifted my motivation. Perhaps it was a desire to have as much fresh spring air smell in the apartment rather than the smell unwashed winter clothes that had done their duty well. Perhaps both, perhaps more. Overthinking things instead of just doing them is so last season.
The first true moment of spring clarity came to me while I was performing another seasonal ritual. I took the old papers that had made my car their winter home and disposed of them, parted ways with whatever I managed to vacuum out of the car, rolled all of my windows down and just drove.
I'm certainly not alone in finding zen while driving. A good drive can exercise the part of your brain that handles the mechanical tasks of driving, and spring gave me the chance to do that not while shivering and looking through the parts of my windows not covered by snow. Spring brings the chance to drive with all your windows rolled down, listening to music, looking around this chunk of land we call home, and just bask in it.
Oh, and I drove everywhere, from the dirt roads that pass very close to the windmills that are Northeast of Webster City to the southern edge of the county and beyond. I went to every park I knew had a trail or somewhere nice to walk along. If I can keep this same baseline level of enthusiasm, I think I'll have an aneurysm when the grass starts to grow greener and the trees start to show life again.
I would think you, the reader, might have other rituals than tearing down a dirt road or wandering aimlessly with the change of the season. I love seeing those changes in other people. When I was driving back from work last Friday, I saw someone drawing in chalk on the sidewalk. I came to a stop sign and saw the words "smile today" written in bold print with a large sun next to it. I assume the person working on the sidewalk art saw me grinning like a moron and waved to me. Such a small gesture was so much more appreciated on such a day.
Here's to the spring demeanor. Here's to getting everything done you wanted to during the winter but were too busy shoveling, sliding around on icy roads or too curled up in a blanket to do. Although, I'll have to get on that another day. Perhaps, a day where I don't still have to wear a heavy jacket to work.

Here's how RW members rated this race (1044 votes).
Date of review: October 13, 2011
In short: Cracking race - ticks all the boxesIn full: I probably won't say anything thathasn't been said before. Great course, both in the city and country (some very des res's along the way); excellent organisation and great support. The names on the number was a great touch - it definitely gives you a lift. It was very different to Windermere, which I did in May, but equally enjoyable. The only quibble I have: more loo papaer in the Gents please! Well done to Chris and Andy. I should be back next year.Date of review: October 13, 2011
In short: fantastic. Will be back next yearIn full: Excellent organistaion. Quite surprised that almost all of the roads were completely closed in both directions for the whole race making it very safe. Atmosphere was great. I wasn't 100% fit and found it a real struggle, but the support was just fantastic from all of the locals. Names on the numbers makes a big difference and certain that this will start becoming the norm at such events. Much more undulating than previous year, but a much more scenic and enjoyable route. Only very minor gripe is the use of the village inside the racecourse which is a little bit of a gamble. If the weather is good then it's much easier for specctators and finishes just to be inside the open course where it's easier to find everything and get to each other. As is the arrangement at the half marathon. The race course village is just a bit too much of a maze, although could have been considered a really smart move if it was pouring with rain. You can't win really, if you change it, it's bound to rain next year! Good quality medal plus a good technical t shirt that was long sleeved for a change which I really liked. Date of review: October 13, 2011
In short: Good support round the course and names on vests for all - but hillier than advertised!Date of review: October 13, 2011
In short: chilled out chesterIn full: top day. very scenic city. book hotels early though as no trains to chester arrive in time to get there for the race start. Hotels pretty expensive if not booked early. An 11 am start would be better to allow people to arrive on time. Date of review: October 12, 2011
In short: Fantastic orgnisation, great course and support in villages. Well done to orgnisers and volunteers who made it a great day Date of review: October 12, 2011
In short: Great !In full: Excellent organisationNice route - barely noticed the hillsGood support from marshalls and spectatorsDrinks good, sports lid would be good on the waterGoody bag - greatCar park - good to get on, awful to get off, needed marshalls directing the queuing system further up the field - some cars didn't move for ages whilst the ones nearest the exit got out very quickly.Great funnelling system once runners had finishedEnjoyable race would do it again if I wanted to do another marathon.Date of review: October 12, 2011
In short: Great event - everything went like clockwork. Highly recommendedIn full: My first marathon and I suspect that it will be hard to top. Course was lovely and not too daunting. Crowds out and about were brilliant and I loved the finish at the racecourse. Well done all involved!Date of review: October 12, 2011
In short: Well organised, beginner friendly, but watch out for the climbs!In full: Overall a fantastic race for my first marathon. Very well organised, plenty of friendly and helpful volunteers everywhere. Loads of people came out to cheer you at all the little villages along the way.Lovely setting for the start and finish, yes occasionally you were stuck out in the countryside but for me I prefer that than going through towns and 'sights'. It is beginner friendly and I'm sure for more experienced runners it does have PB potential, but just a warning to first timers (like me) those climbs in the second half of the race really do sap the energy if you werent prepared like me!Overall I would do it again and hope that they dont ruin it by turning it into a larger event, a few thousand is about right as the car parking system was already creaking at the edges. We decided to wait it out and spent the afternoon cheering on the runners coming in after 5 and 6 hours.Date of review: October 12, 2011
In short: Excellent organisation, great City location and fantastic course and supportIn full: The organisation of this race was excellent throughout. Chester is a great city to host a marathon, so well done to Chris and Andy who organised the event. I hope this becomes a regular fixture on the marathon calendar. The course is not completely flat, but what made it testing was the short hill at mile 24, which inevitably hurts. Convenient having parking on the racecourse so close to the start and finish, with slight drawback of build up of cars getting in and out. Having the finish on the racecourse gives lots of opportunities for spectators to feel part of the event. Overall, will definitely be back to do it again.Date of review: October 12, 2011

Smart investors who took Tom Aspray's advice are now well positioned as stocks have started off the year with a bang. Tom sees more opportunities in the coming weeks, but stresses that buying the strongest stocks or ETFs at good levels will be the best recipe for success in 2013.
Stocks finished 2012 and started off the year on a very strong note, with the Spyder Trust (SPY) gaining over 4% and the Powershares QQQ Trust (QQQ) doing even better. Though the monthly jobs report was a bit weaker than expected, stocks were able to hold their gains into the close on Friday
Pessimism over the economy and the stock market was rampant in the second half of December, as evidence mounted that individuals were avoiding stocks. The technical picture was much different, and the new high in the NYSE Advance/Decline line suggested that "stocks could be the best Christmas gift this year."
Since the first wave of cliff-related selling reached its peak in mid-November, the technical evidence indicated that the market was just correcting and not forming a major top. The skepticism was easy to understand: the dysfunctional action in the House of Representatives was embarrassing, especially the decision not to vote on Hurricane Sandy relief.
This has been the pattern for the past few years. Do you remember what the sentiment was like in the summer of 2010?
On July 1, 2010, with the S&P 500 at 1,027 and down 15% from the April highs, many were expecting the second half of the year to be even worse. The fears over a default by Greece or Spain and the potential for a double-dip recession led the concerns, as discussed in this article from CNNMoney.
The weekly chart of the NYSE A/D line from Stockcharts shows that the April 2010 highs in the stock market were confirmed by new highs in the A/D line (point 1). This was not consistent with a new bear market. The July 1 lows did hold, and the A/D line signaled that the correction was over in early September.
Just over a year later, the scenario was much the same, as the market had taken a beating over the debt-ceiling impasse in August. By September, the concerns over the health of the global economy and Euro debt crisis had reached a fever pitch. In reaction, the stock market lost $500 billion on Thursday, September 22.
The A/D line was acting much stronger, as it made another new high in early July 2011, confirming a healthy market. The selling climaxed on October 4, and the daily A/D lines on the S&P 500 and Dow Industrials completed their bottom formations on October 13.
The weekly A/D line had again made new highs by early 2012 (point 3) as stocks were up sharply in the first quarter. The sharp correction in May and early June was once again fueled by Euro debt concerns and weakening economic data. The decline helped to validate the conviction that one should "sell in May."
A review of the historical patterns in presidential election years suggested that maybe 2012 was the year to "buy in May," as the A/D line had confirmed the market highs in the spring of 2012.
The daily A/D line bottomed in early June (see chart) as the weekly A/D line tested its uptrend (point 4). There were further new highs in September (point 5), and after the drop in November, the A/D line has accelerated to new highs again this week.

About the composer
Sergei Prokofiev
Born: 1891, Sontsovka, Russia
Died: 1953, Moscow, Russia
"To achieve a more simple and melodic expression is the inevitable direction for the musical art of the future."
Before the Russian Revolution, Sergei Prokofiev shocked the St. Petersburg musical establishment as an enfant terrible. He quickly joined the European avant-garde in the '20s and '30s - his 1923 opera The Fiery Angel was so advanced that it remained unperformed until after his death. The Soviet Union scored a major coup when Prokofiev returned for good in 1936. The composer weathered the persecution of composers in the late '30s and the trauma of World War II, only to die on the same day as Stalin - March 5, 1953.

Curse keeps haunting Bills
By ROD PENNICA
Permit me to state the obvious – the Buffalo Bills stink. Now, I know the following will sound a bit braggadocious but here goes. … I am the only person on the planet who knows exactly why they stink. By the end of this piece you will agree that I've got it right. First, some background.
The Bills have stunk up the NFL for much of the last 13 seasons. Every post season we Bills' fans wring our hands as we try to figure out how to not stink next year. The proposed fixes are always recycled uninspired bilge that can be summed up thus; get new personnel on and off the field. The recently announced coaching changes and Ralph Wilson's relaxed grip on the team won't help either, guaranteed.
Now I make no pretense; I am an admitted football dunce. I'm barely a football fan; I've watched only four Super Bowls (of course, it was those four). Yet every year I confidently make a bet (for bragging rights only!) with my pal, Bob Scudder who is a die-hard Bills fan. Each year on a wall in his hardware store we scribble our predictions for the next win-loss record. Every year, like a football savant, I win. I win because I know the true source of the problem. It has nothing to do with game plans, coaches, personnel or ownership. The Bills have only one problem which I alone understand; the problem transcends the earthly and is instead a truly cosmic one.
It is as simple as this; the football gods are really, really ticked off.
Want proof? Flashback to Nashville Tennessee, Jan. 8, 2000. You wince as you remember that wild card match against the Titans. In the final seconds with the Bills in the lead and a post-season advance within their grasp, enter the football gods and the illegal-as-heck "home run throwback." Now ranked in the top five most controversial calls of all time, the so-called Music City Miracle put a nail in the Bills' season and was a mere foretaste of the unyielding misery Bills fans would experience over the next 13 seasons.
So, what exactly stoked the ire of the football gods? What was so darn special about those final seconds in Nashville? Brace yourselves, folks. That infamous kick in the gut occurred in the final seconds of … the Fredonia years! To the great displeasure of the gridiron gods, the wizards of One Bills Drive had already planned to move summer training camp from Fredonia to Rochester … and the Buffalo Bills have ever since dwelt in Loserville.
Lest you think I'm nuts, the stats bear me out here. How many winning seasons started in 19 Fredonia years? Eleven! How many in Rochester's 13 years? One. The Fredonia years gave birth to five conference championship games and initiated an amazing total of 23 postseason matches which included 19 playoff games four trips to the big show. It is inarguable that Fredonia was the "chosen place" for the Bills. And exactly how many post season games can Rochester claim? Zip. Sorry, Rochester, but your camps have produced a dreadful string of snoozers and losers. Bills brass should take note.
Are the Bills now the biggest losers in the NFL since moving camp to Rochester? I don't know but it darn sure feels like it. Will it rise to the level of a sports curse? I think it already has.
Sadly, the looming changes at One Bills Drive are just another round of futile attempts to fix the unfixable.
Even if they saw the folly of their ways and asked to come home to Fredonia, would they be welcomed to return? I really don't know. But it sure is fun to think about because the Fredonia years really were, for Bills fans everywhere, the glory years.
By the way, a word on my annual "bet" with Bob Scudder. I must confess just how easy it is to whip him in our annual predictions. Incurable fan that he is, he always picks the Bills 16-0.

The landlocked country of Kosovo lies in the Balkans in southeastern Europe. Kosovo shares its borders with Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Albania. Plains, hills, and mountains fill the landscape.
Kosovo is one of the poorest countries in Europe. More than 16 percent of people are unemployed and about 35 percent live below the poverty line, with 13 percent living on less than $1 a day.
Most people live in rural farming communities outside the capital. They struggle to grow enough food due to small plots of land and inefficient farming techniques.
Kosovo's limited supply of electricity slows the economy's ability to grow.
Explore areas where you can help us build a better world for children.
World Vision is committed to partnering with the people of Kosovo to improve their lives today and to help enact sustainable solutions for the future of their children, families, and communities. Highlights of World Vision's programs include:
World Vision began working in Kosovo in 1998 by distributing food, clothing, and relief supplies to people displaced by war. Since then, some major accomplishments include:
Geography and people
The landlocked country of Kosovo lies in the Balkans in southeastern Europe. Kosovo shares its borders with Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Albania. Plains, hills, and mountains fill the landscape.
Kosovo's location between the Mediterranean Sea and eastern mountain ranges results in warm, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. Most areas have rain from October to December.
Natural resources include nickel, lead, zinc, magnesium, chrome, coal, and bauxite.
Ethnic Albanians make up more than 90 percent of the population. Serbs, Bosniaks, and other people groups also live in Kosovo. Albanian Kosovans are called Kosovars and Serbian Kosovans are called Kosovacs. Albanian and Serbian are the country's official languages; people also speak Bosnian, Turkish, and Roma in some areas.
Kosovo fell under Serbian control during the early 1900s and became an autonomous province in 1974.
In 1989, the Serbian president revoked Kosovo's autonomy and began repressing the ethnic Albanian population. The Kosovars rebelled, forming the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) during the 1990s. Serbia's violence against the Kosovar Albanians displaced about 800,000 people.
Serbia withdrew from Kosovo in 1999 after experiencing a NATO-led three-month military campaign. After several years of international talks, Kosovo declared its independence in February 2008. Most Western nations have recognized Kosovo's sovereignty despite Serbia's rejection. In 2010, the International Court of Justice ruled that Kosovo's independence does not go against international law.

Top Down Bottom Up Shades & Blinds
- Combine privacy and light control
- Lower from top and raise from bottom
- Versatile light control all around
- Corded styles operate with 2 cords
- Cordless styles allow pull as desired
Top down bottom up shades are most commonly used to allow natural light into the room while still maintaining privacy from the street. Position top down bottom up blinds as fully open, fully drawn, or any combination in between with the operation of independent top and bottom rails. For increased child and pet safety, choose cordless top down/bottom up to simply maneuver your shades with handles at the top and bottom. For very tall or hard to reach windows, consider standard top down bottom up lift cords instead of cordless for reachability.

"Excellent Product"
By SuzyQ from Kennewick WA
I ordered three blinds for my livingroom, but it took me a month of asking for color samples to get to that point. Blindsgalore replied to my requests for samples very quickly and it was such a great help in making my final choice. I received my order and was very pleased with the quality of the blinds. My husband and I put them up in less than 30 minutes. They look great! I would purchase again in the future.View this product
"Far less than retail stores"

I shopped my area before selecting Blinds Galore, they were less than half than all stores, faster manufacturing & shipping !!!!!!View this product

Chicken salad sandwiches, bright couscous salads and pasta salad all make an appearance.
New swimsuit, check. Sunscreen, check. White sands and roaring ocean, check. Spring break revelry can work up quite an appetite. Whether your frolicking at the beach, scaling a mountain, or just enjoying a day at the park, pack-able lunches will keep those fun-thwarting hunger pains at bay. Dust off the tupperware, pack the cooler, and adventure on with the following simple sandwich and salad options. Chicken Sandwiches with Lemon-Basil Zucchini and Boursin [caption id="attachment_312514" align="alignnone" width="487"] National Chicken Council[/caption] Flavor packed veggies and protein rich chicken give this sandwich staying power for active adventures. Assemble sandwiches and pack over ice to ensure ingredients stay crisp in warm weather fun. Spicy Grapefruit Salad [caption id="attachment_312506" align="alignnone" width="465"] TexaSweet Citrus Marketing, Inc.[/caption] Spinach salad gets a zip from tangy, sweet grapefruit and a honey mustard vinaigrette. Serve this salad as a sandwich accompaniment or add your protein of choice for a one container lunch. Shrimp and Pasta Salad The longer you allow this dish to marinate the better it gets, so consider assembling ingredients the evening before. The ideal balance of carbohydrates, vegetables, and protein makes this dish a winner for fueling up after playing in the surf or hiking all morning. Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich Vegetarians in the group will appreciate a satisfying meatless option. Creamy egg salad ditches the mayo in favor of an Omega-3 rich avocado boost. To keep sandwiches from getting soggy, consider serving a crusty hoagie roll instead of soft wheat bread. Mediterranean Bowl of Giant Couscous Everything delightful and delicious from the Mediterranean makes an appearance in this filling salad. Chickpeas add a healthy dose of protein, but you can easily up the hearty factor with shredded rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken from last night's dinner. Couscous Confetti Salad [caption id="attachment_107224" align="alignnone" width="493"] The Cancer Project[/caption] A salad with major fix it and forget it factor, this blend doesn't contain anything that will suffer from sitting at room temperature or even being slightly warm.

Black Rice Salad with Mango and Peanuts Rich in antioxidants and hydrating mango, this salad is refreshing and won't weigh you down for your next round of activities. Don't stress about keeping this salad chilled to the bone, as it will still taste great when slightly warm. Chicken Salad and Grape Tomato Sandwiches [caption id="attachment_312495" align="alignnone" width="493"] Mark Boughton Photography/styling by Teresa Blackburn[/caption] Serve a scoop of classic chicken salad in whole wheat pitas, tightly coiled in a wrap, or between slices of your favorite sourdough. Since this variation includes mayo, make sure salad stays on ice and chilled down until lunchtime. This article originally appeared as on Relish

Upscale Sunriver Vacation Rentals With Personal Concierge
Staying in a vacation home managed by Sunriver Resort has many advantages, but those perks are elevated to an even higher level when staying in a four- or five-diamond rated home. These properties represent the top tier at the resort with a consistent design theme, top-of-the line furnishings, kitchens and baths, as well as overall quality and comfort. When staying in one of these elite four and five diamond homes, guests have access to special Sunriver Resort privileges, additional outlet discounts, and their own private Cabin Master concierge.
The Cabin Master program has turned out to be a great added benefit for guests staying in our four and five diamond homes. Some guests simply like the peace of mind of knowing they have a personal concierge to direct them if needed, and others have taken full advantage of this program and really stretched it to its limits! Here is an example from Head Cabin Master, Griffin Priebe:
"I am a personal concierge and do my best to accommodate any request. For example, we just had a guest a couple months ago that had this vision of getting the whole family out on snowmobiles, picking out a Christmas tree from the forest, cutting it down while sipping hot cocoa, trucking back to their house, and setting it up so they could decorate it and make it feel like home in their vacation home. This is not a package that Sunriver Resort, or anyone else in the area, offers. However, after a couple hours on the phone, I was able to create their own custom package. I ran into town to get them a tree-cutting permit and a tree stand. Then went to Bellatazza to fill up a thermos of hot cocoa and pick up a stack of paper cups. I had Resort Services bus them all out to Wanoga Snow Park, where they met up with Central Oregon Adventures and got on snowmobiles. They went out into the winter wonderland to find their tree, and came back with one that was 15 feet tall! After they hauled their new tree out of the forest, we gathered the family back into the warm Sunriver Resort bus. Central Oregon Adventures brought the tree straight to their house, and then our Resort Services team helped set the tree up in their vacation home living room, all ready for the family to decorate it. And there you have it, one HAPPY FAMILY with Christmas memories that will last generations."
Our Cabin Master staff truly rises to the occasion and sets our Sunriver Resort managed homes apart from all the others. You may want to consider upgrading to a four or five diamond home on your next Sunriver Resort vacation!

Skip to comments.Obama Must Condemn NY Times Race-Baiting Tactics, Black Group Says
Posted on 08/08/2009 7:45:36 PM PDT by adanaC
The Project 21 black leadership network, New York Times liberal columnist Paul Krugman
Obama Must Condemn NY Times Race-Baiting Tactics, Black Group Says Washington D.C. The Project 21 black leadership network is condemning New York Times liberal columnist Paul Krugman for scurrilously pinning racist motives on critics of President Obamas health care proposals. The group is calling upon President Obama to condemn all efforts to derail legitimate public debate, specifically including this effort to stifle debate with race-baiting tactics.
Paul Krugman is the one with race on the brain, Project 21 Chairman Mychal Massie charged. Specifically, he is using race in the lowest and most repulsive declinations. He is using it because every other argument to stem the growing tide of condemnation for the proposed health care reform bill has failed. Ergo, when all else fails, parade out the race card and attempt to incite blacks into becoming the useful idiots. Opposition to the proposed health care bill isnt based on race, Massie added. It is based on a people who are tired of Congress and the President spitting in their faces. It is the collective resolve of a people who are tired of being tread upon. One would think a Nobel prize-winner such as Krugman could figure that out. Krugmans racial comments generated outrage from many Project 21 members, including:

Gonna take a keg'r to get this one fixed.
Wow! (I mean that with mouth wide open)
BO is beginning to feel the heat from all sides.
Paul Krugman is a vile race baiting partisan bigot.
These folks must be naive not to know the column is probably coordinated from the White House itself.
More beer!
This is not about race. It is about government control.
Project 21 is a conservative public policy group that provides broadcasters and the print media with prominent African-American conservative commentators
Yes, I know. Problem is we never hear about them in the snews.
Krugman acted "stupidly".
The author of this is FReeper "bocopar". Thanks to Bob Parks for another excellent article, and thanks for posting this adanaC.
"Paul Krugman is a vile race baiting partisan bigot."
Very true.
"Ergo, when all else fails, parade out the race card and attempt to incite blacks into becoming the useful idiots."
This isn't the only group in the 'black community' that has spoken out. The media just ignores them. Jesse Peterson of Bond. Terry Anderson, TheTerryAndersonshow.com, Thomas Sewell, and many more.
OUTSTANDING post! Thanks. Thanks Bob. There you go naming names again...and pics too of great Americans! Thank you sir. OUTSTANDING (as usual)!
I'm sure he will git RIGHT on that!
This white guy is ready to stand with Project 21 on this issue.
Never heard of Mychal Massie, but he sounds like a fine fellow.
La Garofalo called us racists too. Maybe she should get a Nobel Prize.
His articles appear in World Net Daily. I'm not sure if he's one of their writers or not. At any rate, I agree with almost everything I've ever read from him. He's a true conservative.
Mike and I are partners at P21.
Wow, I think I could get to like this guy, Massie.
Never would have heard of this except for the Canadian press.
Amazing! A liberal being criticized for racial comments. The world is apparently changing, and not a moment too soon.
The way I see it, it is the democrats who are the filthy racists and they try to project it upon others. It must suck to be them.
Dyed in the wool dems are usually heavily medicated, un-employed (by choice of course), and filled with so much hatred that it affects their physical appearance. I can spot them long before they open their pie hole. Once spotted, a few stinging comments not actually directed to anyone personally but at them as a group can cause them to leave the check out line in the market with their groceries unpaid.
Is this the 3% that didn't vote for him? Because the other 97% are either communists or racists.
Awesome stuff!
You guys rock!
Thank you so much for finding true racism, and calling them on it.
BTW, Kevin...what is your mob name again? ;o)
Kevin "Brass Knuckles" Martin.
That fits you to a "T"!
I'm sorry I didn't remember, but I was LOLing waaay too hard!
When I heard about it on Sean's show, I started a thread about it here.
I was a bit late, though...there was another FReeper who beat me to it.
It's always thus...;o)
Mike and I are partners at P21.
Excellent, Kevin. Great job, as usual.

Goodreads is known for linking friends and like-minded readers into online communities of book enthusiasts. No wonder Amazon, the world's largest online bookseller, was hot to buy it. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Seattle-based Amazon said Goodreads, which was founded in 2007, will remain in San Francisco. The Web site has more than 16 million members which have formed more than 30,000 book clubs.

DC Comics' Crazy Week
The week started off with DC postponing the release of Batman Inc. #3 for a month because of potentially insensitive content in the wake of the shooting in Colorado during The Dark Knight Rises.
Grant Morrison, one of the reasons I read any DC publications, will be leaving superhero comics in 2013. This includes Action Comics and Batman Inc.
Green Lantern #11 showed us the future!
Rob Liefeld who works on Savage Hawkman, Grifter, and Deathstroke might also be leaving next year if his books' sales don't increase.

Posted on 12/13/2011 6:11:02 AM PST by icwhatudo
A gun and grenade attack in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege has killed at least two people and wounded about 25 including a toddler, media say.
Witnesses say a man in his 40s threw grenades at a bus stop in Place Saint Lambert, a busy square. At least one other man is thought to be involved.
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.co.uk ...
A two-year-old child is reportedly fighting for life in hospital. Six other victims are said to be gravely injured.
One of two or more assailants threw stun grenades into the courthouse while another was hurled at a bus shelter, RTL-TV1 said.
Shots were fired across the square by gunmen posted on the rooftop of a bakery shop, with further shots heard later from across town.
Police cordoned off the square and gave chase to the assailants, one of whom was reportedly killed. The gunmen are thought to be hiding in Liege cathedral.
restless amish?
"The Karachi Post in Pakistan claimed that the attack was linked to a sentence in an honour killing case. It said the parents of Sadia Sheikh were sentenced on Monday when there had been a bomb alert in the court."
Looks like another muslim terrorist attack on Europe.
The first question is: Where did this guy get grenades?
Prayers for the people of Liege.
Yep, Amish alright.
...damn!, there must be some lawlessness going on here....(snicker)
So when will we get the stories about how this is the fault of the Belgian legal system because they condemned an honor killing? Don't those silly Belgians understand that upholding one's family honor should be allowed in Belgianistan?
Out of the diplomatic pouch in the Iranian Embassy in Brussels, no doubt.
The MSM "news" has only 2 pathways to handle this.
1. Was Islam and Sharia involved?
Say nothing, OR Blame the TeaParty,
OR "lone right wing gunman" OR "work place accident"
Go back to fawning Obama, covering up DNC corruption
and the weather.
Watch this story get buried. Islam is not to be questioned.
It must be that pernicious Grenade Show Loophole! /s
Liege is a beautiful small city. Prayers for the victims. Vengeance against the Muslims. All mosques should be shut down.
Who wouldn't defend sharia law and the right to avenge allah by blowing up infidel toddlers at a Christmas market? I presume the rest of this yoot gang are pissing in the communion cups at the Liege cathedral where they took "sanctuary"
Obviously more Belgiques simply need to arrange mosque field trips for their children to enhance cultural acceptance.
And to improve public security by strip-searching old white ladies in wheelchairs
Any country that willingly takes in the Islamic culture in the name of equality and diversity drinks its own poison.
Any western nation that willingly takes in the Islamic culture in the name of equality and diversity drinks its own poison.
From his mosque.
This story will be buried... unless they can somehow pin this on a White Christian hetrosexual male, then the story won't be buried, all you will hear in the media is "White rightwing Christian" (think Norway)
also "mentally ill", that's almost always included either way.
I bet "honour killings" won't be prosecuted any more.
One of the attackers identified as Nordine Amrani.
The attack took place around noon local time on Saint-Lambert Square, home to the town's courthouse and located near a busy Christmas market, according to reports.
Belgian news site Lesoir.be has identified the attacker who was shot by police as Nordine Amrani, who was sentenced Tuesday to 29 years in prison for possession of weapons and cultivation of cannabis plants.
Belgium.AFP reporting 2 dead, 64 hurt
Just read a story i can't link here but the Belgium police are dismissing the idea was more than one attacker(suicide attack they say).
good one!
2.14pm: The details of the attack remain unclear, with many differing reports still coming out.
The mayor of Liège, Willy Demeyer, has spoken to La Meuse newspaper after talks with the police, and has denied reports that three attackers were involved.
The attacker is understood to have acted alone; he had hand grenades and a kalachnikov. He shot into the crowd on the place Saint Lambert before being killed himself by a grenade. There was also another person killed. The attacker is known to the police, notably for drug offences.
A newspaper, Sudpresse, says it has had official confirmation that the dead attacker was named Nordine Amrani. This could not be independently confirmed. It writes:
Nordine Amrani is a resident of Liege aged 32 years old.
It says he was convicted in 2008 by the court of Liège to 58 months behind bars for the possession of weapons and for growing 2,800 cannabis plants as part of a criminal gang. None of this could be immediately confirmed.
That was the early speculation based on a report from a Pakistani newspaper they picked up. There had been a bomb threat tied to the trial.
Its looking now more likely that this was a known criminal acting alone. How he got a Kalashnikov and grenades (that may turn out to be flash-bangs) is unknown.
Attacker in Liége confirmed 31 year-old Moroccan-Belgian with criminal background in drug and weapons charges
Death toll now raised to 4 (including the shooter). The shooter's car was found in the area.
Police say only one attacker in today's attack, Nordine Amrani, committed suicide right after fireing and detonated grenades
you know.........you're probably right about that. Hadn't crossed my mind, but I bet thats exactly where they came from.
Like the fellow in Hollywood last weekend schooting at random cars screaming... what was he screaming again?
Both the IRA and the Red Brigade had the old pineapple frags on close out sale last week!
Do you have a link for that?
Both I and Theodore Roosevelt are descended from Wallonians, the people who settled Manhattan island. When I was doing a lot of genealogy, I used various search engines to look for them and kept coming up with porn sights. Weird.
Officials quick to say that grenade and gunfire attack that killed 4 and wound 64 carried out by Moroccan is...NOT TERRORISM.
Very wrong, gun ownership is legal across Europe.
Sadly, its the UK's laws that are amongst the most restrictive.
Attackers Throw Explosives in Belgian Town, Killing Two
Several men armed with hand grenades and guns attacked a busy bus stop in eastern Belgium on Tuesday, killing at least two people and wounding about a dozen, officials and media reports said.
Read more:
Media VERY QUICK to point out this is not Terror-related, although it does involve a Muzzie attacking a Christmas Festival.
It is very well known that the koranimals in the surrounding No Go Zones throughout France are as heavily armed as the Amry - mech armor and they have the will to use it as shown by this koranimal today.
They'll have to bring in the Legion to clear out the koranimals.
"Watch this story get buried. Islam is not to be questioned."
Contrast that with the white Norwegian gunman. It seemed like in a few minutes we had a full profile (right-wing, christian, etc) and knew all about his facebook page. Hmmm
I think the real story here is that all of you dhimmi need to stop pissing-off the moozlums. Have you no shame????
In 2009, three young girls were in a car with their step mother and smashed by another car into the Rideau Canal, Ottawa. The estranged father and mother of the original family, from Afghanistan are charged, with their son. Honour killings, written off as family violence. Girls were texting boy friends and showing off in light revealing clothing, may have set the father Mohammad Shafia off. A prominent women journalist has listed desperate attempt, after attempt, of the girls and step mother who were trying to hide from this man. The designated authorities failed them. Canada beware- the trial for murder continues.
A jihadi cannot have a criminal record and still be a jihadi? To make a case for it being a "criminal acting alone", you must supply at least a plausible criminal motive for the attack.
In the absence of such a motive, the only motive that remains is a jihad response to yesterday's honor killing convictions.

Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Miramichi Headwaters Salmon Federation, which has received one of the 2009 National Recreational Fisheries Awards from the honourable Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
The federation has contributed directly to the development of recreational fishing in the Miramichi Headwaters region, much of which lies in the riding of Tobique—Mactaquac. The group helps to protect and improve fish habitat by operating a fish rearing facility and promoting conservation.
The organization is actively involved in recreational fishing issues and the development of fishing through campaigns targeting young anglers, support for other groups, and involvement in habitat restoration and the stabilization of riverbanks.
Its fish rearing facility also enables other associations to stock rivers and streams that develop the sport fishing potential in various waterways in the area.
The Miramichi Headwaters Salmon Federation is very much deserving of this very prestigious national recreational fisheries award, and I sincerely congratulate the group's president, Randy Lutes, his wife Judy, and all the volunteers for this tremendous achievement.
Quebec Entrepreneurship Competition
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud and pleased to draw attention to the exceptional performance of two organizations from my riding of LaSalle—Émard.
Last month, at the Quebec entrepreneurship awards gala, LaSalle community radio, under the direction of Denis Routhier, was awarded first prize in the social economy category, while second prize in that same category went to the seniors' café at the Centre du Vieux Moulin, under the direction of Hélène Lapierre.
My sincere congratulations to the two prize winners for this fine recognition of their efforts. Their success is indisputable evidence of the value of team work, as well as of the quality of those working untiringly to serve the people of LaSalle—Émard well.
My wholehearted wishes for the best of success in the future.
Sri Lanka
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Stephen Woodworth Kitchener Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, about 10 days ago I had the privilege of meeting with a roomful of Canadians of Tamil origin from my riding of Kitchener Centre.
They were very distressed about events in their homeland with Tamil civilians trapped in conflict by the advancing Sri Lankan army. They were deeply concerned about the mortal peril facing their loved ones.
My heart went out to them and the hearts of all Canadians go out to them.
These Canadians need to know that the Government of Canada has already called on the government of Sri Lanka to declare an immediate ceasefire. They need to know that Canada has already called for unhindered international access for the evacuation of the sick and wounded, and for the delivery of much needed humanitarian assistance to civilians.
Canadians of Tamil origin need to know that our government has millions of dollars in humanitarian assistance ready to go. Canada will keep up the pressure.
Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada, president of Cuba's National Assembly since 1993, is visiting Canada.
His resumé is impressive. He earned a doctorate in philosophy and was professor emeritus at the University of Havana before becoming Cuba's representative at the UN, where he was vice-president of the General Assembly, president of the Council of Administration to the United Nations Development Programme, and vice-president of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. He was also Cuba's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Alarcón dedicated his life as a public servant to denouncing the embargo against Cuba and to forging close ties with other states while expressing the hopes of the Cuban people and defending the inalienable right of peoples to govern themselves.
It is an honour for me, on behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, to wish Mr. Alarcón, one of the great men of this world, an excellent visit to Parliament Hill.
Pork Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bradley Trost Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, jobs in my riding depend on the pork industry which is why the Government of Canada is standing up for pork producers on the international stage by encouraging Canadian families to support struggling hog producers by picking up some pork next time they go to the grocery store.
We know that Canadian pork is safe. We appreciate the countries who have acknowledged this fact and kept the borders open and trade flowing. We will do everything we can to fight for our producers and industry.
That is why the Minister of Agriculture, along with the Canadian Pork Council are hosting a barbecue tomorrow. We would like to invite all members, staff and media to a barbecue in the East Block courtyard tomorrow at noon to enjoy some top quality Canadian pork.
We have invited ambassadors from around the world as well so that they will get the message that our Canadian pork is safe. See everyone there tomorrow.
Canadian Red Cross
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Keith Martin Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and all of my colleagues here in Parliament, I would like to congratulate the Canadian Red Cross on its 100th anniversary.
For 100 years the Canadian Red Cross has been there to provide relief from suffering across our country and around the world. This is thanks to the thousands of dedicated volunteers who work in the organization.
Canada is one of the highest contributors of delegates to the International Committee of the Red Cross which provides protection to civilians and the injured in areas of conflict like Afghanistan, Sudan, Gaza, and provides assistance after earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and famine.
Courage, humanitarianism and sacrifice are the hallmarks of the Canadian Red Cross.
We in this Parliament, and indeed all Canadians, salute the Canadian Red Cross and its members on their centennial anniversary, and give thanks for the sacrifices they make to help relieve the suffering to those in their time of greatest need.
Quebec's Place at UNESCO
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, three years ago today, the governments of Canada and Quebec signed a historic agreement that recognized Quebec's special interest in culture and science and its desire to benefit more from the combined efforts of the federal and provincial governments. As a result, for the first time in history, Quebec has an important voice at UNESCO.
With its policy of open federalism, the federal government recognizes Quebec's unique personality within a united Canada and a flexible federal system. Gone are the traps the Liberals set to strip Quebec of all its ideas and jurisdictions. Gone is the Bloc's extreme polarization, which seeks only to destroy Quebec's history and culture.
Quebec has a real voice at UNESCO. It is not a Liberal or Bloc voice, but a unique, Quebec voice.
Canadian Flag Pins
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, the maple leaf is the symbol of our national goals and aspirations. Canadian troops put their lives on the line for the values symbolized by the maple leaf. It speaks to our pride as Canadians.
Today that pride is diminished. In the middle of a manufacturing meltdown, the Conservative government outsourced the production of Canadian flag pins to China. Why is the Prime Minister giving our tax dollars to foreign factories? Why does the Prime Minister not support Canadian jobs?
New Democrats stopped the Liberals from outsourcing our pins in 2005. It is outrageous that we have to do it again.
Canadians simply want some fairness and accountability, but the Conservative government is incapable of delivering.
Of the $3.8 million that the federal government spends on Canada Day celebrations, it is giving $3.2 million to Quebec, leaving a mere $600,000 for the rest of Canada, and only $100,000 for all of Ontario, our most populace province.
Thankfully, my Canada Day barbecue has never needed the government's support, but Ontarians do. They need the support of the government to protect their jobs, both in the manufacturing sector and in the tourism industry.
In the lead up to Canada Day, the government could and should have done both.
Seal Hunt
Statements By Members
May 5th, 2009 / 2:10 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, despite the European Union's unfortunate and ill-informed vote on the seal hunt, the Government of Canada will remain firmly behind our seal hunters and their right to hunt. We will continue to work on their behalf.
It is unfortunate that while this government laboured on this file, the Liberals continued to undermine Canada's efforts with one Liberal senator, Mac Harb, even introducing a bill to ban the hunt, a bill that one anti-seal hunting group is crediting with helping convince the Europeans to vote against our hunters.
Canadians should know that this Conservative government will not sit back and do nothing, like the Liberal Party. We will not give up this fight and, if we must, we will take action with the World Trade Organization to overturn this wrong, unfair and unjust ruling.
Official Languages
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, last night, I took an Air Canada flight from Montreal to Ottawa, which was two hours late. Imagine my surprise when the flight attendant gave me instructions only in English. Given my persistence in asking if she spoke both official languages, she replied, in an arrogant tone, that she also spoke two languages: Chinese and English.
A similar experience was described last week in Le Soleil by someone from my riding who was travelling from Montreal to Quebec City. The flight attendant threatened to cancel the flight if he did not stop causing a disruption, when all he was doing was demanding service in French, just as I was.
If the government were serious about its desire to ensure that the Official Languages Act is respected, it would put more pressure on Air Canada, which is the subject of nearly 25% of all complaints received by the Commissioner of Official Languages. Yet the regulations are clear: services are to be provided in both official languages in airports serving Quebec, among others. We have also seen this same "who cares" attitude towards respecting the French language in the planning of the Vancouver Olympic Games.
Seal Hunt
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Mr. Speaker, we have been warning the Conservative government about it for months, and today it has finally happened. The European Union has voted to ban products of the legal, sustainable, humane, and economically important Canadian seal hunt.
The Conservatives and their patronage appointed fisheries ambassador have failed to stand up for the interests of Canadians. In what other industries will the Conservatives allow the European Union to dictate Canadian policy?
Even as Canadian and EU officials are set to start talks on expanded free trade, the Conservatives have failed the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunavut, Quebec's Lower North Shore, the Magdalen Islands, and Atlantic Canada generally.
Who else will the Conservatives sell down the river to Brussels?
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, last month the Liberal leader said, "We will have to raise taxes". I congratulate him on ascending to the role of leader of the Liberal opposition. I have some questions for him, though. Which taxes would he raise, by how much and who would be forced to pay?
On Saturday his party answered with a resolution favouring a carbon tax. That is, of course, a tax on home heating and on transporting goods like food. The Liberal leader fathered the idea when, during the 2006 leadership race, he said, "We've also got to have popular, practical, believable policies that may involve some form of carbon tax".
Instead of denying or running away from his words, we would have advised him to stand behind what his party said at its convention.
Let us have a great Canadian debate. Do we want higher taxes under the Liberal leader, or lower taxes under this Conservative Prime Minister?

Prince George—Peace River
Jay Hill Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, there seemed to be a bit of confusion with the point of order and the motion that I presented to the House prior to statements by members, so I would like to read it again and see if we can get unanimous support for it. I move:
That, notwithstanding any Standing Order or usual practices of the House, the notice period for a Take Note Debate be waived in order to allow for a take note debate tonight that would take note that the seal hunt is a humane and legitimate economic pursuit, and that the European Parliament's recent decision to ban the importation of seal products is misinformed, inflammatory, counterproductive, and should be rejected.
Because I am seeking unanimous consent for this motion, I would like to further explain that the notwithstanding part of the motion applies to the waiving of notice and the unusual wording in this take note motion and does not set a precedent for future take note debates.

National Hockey Festival Kicks Off On Thanksgiving Day
Contact: Ashley Meunier, Communications Manager

For Immediate Release
November 24, 2010
National Hockey Festival Kicks Off On Thanksgiving Day
PHOENIX, ARIZONA – The 2010 National Hockey Festival kicks off tomorrow at the Reach 11 Sports Complex in Phoenix, Arizona. The National Hockey Festival has become the world's largest amateur field hockey event, attracting more than 3,500 athletes from across the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean to compete over a Thanksgiving.
"This is the largest event of its kind," said Karen Collins, Director or Events and Logistics. "We are very happy to be here in Phoenix. The economic impact on the area will be significantly greater than it has in the past as the number of people attending Festival this year has increased substantially."
Most athletes and families began arriving in Phoenix yesterday and will stay through Sunday. Over 270 teams have been broken up into four divisions: U16, U19, Women's and Mixed. Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, November 25 through Sunday, November 28 over 700 games of field hockey will be played at the Reach 11 Complex.
"We are extremely happy to have USA Field Hockey in Phoenix and at Reach 11," said Genel Burwell, Reach 11 Park Manager. "This is the largest event that we have ever hosted here. The impact on our economy from this event has been and will be tremendous. Hotels, local businesses, restaurants and rental car companies will benefit from Festival attendees. We are excited USA Field Hockey chose Phoenix and Reach 11 as the host site for the next two years."
Due to the extreme cold weather conditions in the morning, the schedule of games has been changed slightly. Thanksgiving Day, all games will be 45 minutes in length and will begin at 8AM rather than 6AM. On Friday, November 25, all games will remain 1 hour in length, but will begin at 8AM rather than 7AM. Visit www.usafieldhockey.com for all Festival news and an up-to-date schedule of games.
"We have had to adjust the schedule due to early morning frost. We are hoping for warmer weather on Saturday and Sunday and are looking forward to the next four days of field hockey," said Collins.
This is the first event that Reach 11 has hosted over a holiday weekend. Reach 11 will be the host of National Hockey Festival through 2011. The complex has 18 lighted playing fields that span over 33 acres of desert land.
For media inquiries, please contact Ashley Meunier, USA Field Hockey Communications Manager, at email@example.com, or at (719) 866-4365. Additional information regarding the USA Field Hockey team and the Futures Program can be found online by visiting www.usafieldhockey.com.

We're number 1!
— By Alan Fineberg |
We did it
We won
We're World Champs
Somehow, we pulled through to put Detroit in its rightful place
We celebrated in an alternative fashion
We blogged it, live
We brought out our hummers and paraded down the street
Even our custodial crew got in on the fun
We popped bottles
We destroyed an Uber cab
We lived, we laughed, we loved.
And that's it, friends. We've done it all, we've lived it all. If I had the strength, I'd cry. I bid you all goodbye, and so farewell.

WordPress is perhaps the most widely used blogging software in use today. But WordPress has many more uses up its sleeve. In addition to blogging, with WordPress you can also run websites and set up online stores. If you are looking for a WordPress designer in London, Squeeze Digital should be your first port of call.
A CMS (Content Management System) is a way to manage your website. You can manage the development of your site and make updates easily and quickly. As little as 10 years ago, the same software was worth hundreds of thousands to those blue chip companies that could afford it. Now, the software is accessible, versatile, extremely powerful and more importantly, comes with a FREE pricetag. With its amazing online community of enthusiasts and developers, it is guaranteed to be around for many years.
WordPress's stand out benefits
Although originally designed as a blogging platform, simple modifications can enable it to perform as a fully-functioning website. Due to its roots as a blogging platform it has some powerful advantages over other CMS systems. Reasons to choose WordPress are:
- Simplicity. You need a system that is easy to understand and that non-technical staff can use to quickly publish new content ie Newsletters, Latest News etc.
- Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Even Matt Cutts of Google agrees "WordPress is made to do SEO well" Here is a video by Mr Cutts regarding WordPress for small business.
- There is a huge community of developers creating new functionality via "plug-ins" that create additional features which extend the power of WordPress even further. If you want your website to have a specific function, there is a good chance that it has already been created.
For small and medium-sized businesses looking for simple ways to manage their online resources quickly and easily, then WordPress is the perfect solution. Squeeze media can do the hard work in setting up your WordPress framework, leaving it ready for you to manage day-to-day.

Costochondritis is pain in the front of the chest wall. In particular, it is irritation where the bone and cartilage part of the ribs meet.
Sometimes there is also swelling and inflammation. This is a condition referred to as Tietze's syndrome. Neither costochondritis nor Tietze's syndrome is a serious disease. However, their symptoms are similar to those of several dangerous conditions, like a heart attack.
The cause of costochondritis is often not known. At other times, the condition can occur due to injury or overuse.
Factors that may increase your chance of costochondritis include:
Costochondritis may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may do further tests if the diagnosis is not clear. Tests to examine the ribs more closely may include a chest x-ray.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Most costochondritis will eventually go away on its own. Treatment is optional, but choices include the following:
Compresses may help provide relief until the condition resolves itself. Try hot and cold compresses to see which is more helpful.
Your doctor may recommend some over-the-counter medications to relieve pain and swelling.
A local anesthetic and medication (cortisone) may be injected directly into the area. This may be done if the discomfort does not respond to other treatments.
There are no current guidelines to prevent costochondritis.

Burn mega calories in no time with HIIYoga (High-Intensity Interval Yoga).
A yoga workout that's over in only 20 minutes? A strength-building, sweat-inducing workout that also incorporates calming yoga moves? Can there be such a thing? Yogi Chaz Rough, founder of the immensely popular YOGAmazing series on iTunes, will enthusiastically tell you yes. His new hybrid workout, High Intensity Interval Yoga�HIIYoga�is designed to appeal to �ADD types� like himself. �You lose an hour to an hour and half in a yoga class,� says Chaz, a certified yoga instructor. �I've been doing yoga 20 years now. I love the practice but I'm always looking at how I can push the envelope with my yoga. And when I look at how busy my life is � I have two kids � I thought, 'how can I do something [quick] and feel like I've gotten a workout?'� When Chaz discovered that brief, intense workouts known as high-intensity interval training (HITT) offered the same cardio and strength-building benefits as a much longer workout � in just a few minutes � he was hooked. But he wasn't ready to give up yoga. RELATED: The Best 10-Minute YouTube Workouts �And aha!� he says. �The light bulb went off and I said 'why don�t I combine high intensity interval training with yoga?''� The result: a 20-25 minute workout that alternates 30 second �surges� of intense activity with 90 seconds of� �flow� yoga. �This is a Vinyasa flow incorporating bursts to get your heart pounding,� Chaz explains.� �My point is that you�re not going to have to do a full hour to reap the benefits yoga can bring you. The theory that you have to work out for a long time is just not true.� The surges themselves incorporate more traditional yoga poses. For example, a move he calls a Sun Burst adds a burpee to a Sun Salutation. Walk the Dog takes the Down Dog and adds back and forth stepping.� These moves sound deceptively simple, but when performed at 100% of your capacity, you'll quickly work up a sweat. �I'm building on yoga poses to get a cardio benefit,� Chaz says. �It's making you rethink the way you�re used to doing yoga.�� He admits not all yoga fans will like his approach. �Serious, hard-core yoga people may not be happy with it and that�s ok,� he says. �If you go to a yoga class to do an hour of gentle stretching � this may not be for you.� It�s a matter of how hard do you want to work. It�s going to be intense. I�m still amazed at how intense it is. Every time I do it I am challenged.� So who's HIIYoga for? �It�s for anyone up for a challenge ...who likes to build strength, and wants to also do yoga,� Chaz says. It's also for yoga-doubters who were never drawn to traditional yoga. The variety and challenging moves will appeal to fitness buffs who haven�t considered yoga hard-core enough or thought it was boring. And because it clocks in at 25 minutes or less, HIIYoga is for time-crunched people who need to make the most of limited workout time. The HIIYoga approach will include three workouts, one focusing on upper body strength, one on core, and one on toning. All three will offer the ability to center yourself, according to Chaz. �You�re going to be able to get your push in but you�ll have a chance to calm down.� The workouts are available for download at hiiyoga.com for $19.95.� Brought to you by: Spry Living

This is a well made, solid, and attractive trim piece. The pinch-bolt mounting makes it easy to use. I needed to fabricate a shim to make it secure on the tail-pipe of my Toyota Camry. This is not a criticism of the part itself, but due to the diameter of the tail-pipe being slightly smaller than 2.25 inches. The four star rating stems from the fact that the supplied bolt and nut were just slightly on the small side. I replaced them with slightly stouter bits from my left-over hardware drawer.

The exhaust tip is brilliant shiny chrome with no scratches, as it comes sealed in plastic wrapping. The clamp is welded on, not an extra loose piece, and is good and strong. It mounted very securely on my 3 1/2" exhaust pipe. A high quality accessory to add to your ride. I put it on a GMC Kodiak C5500 Duramax Diesel motorhome.
