The Creators Project: How would you classify your approach to creating art?
Choi Jeong-Hwa: I believe that everything is art. Every material found in the kitchen, your room, the streets -- everything in everyday life can be art. So I can't say for sure what kind of an artist I am.
When were you first inspired to do the sort of things you do?
In 1989. I couldn't really draw so I didn't think I could become a painter, but I really liked walking. So I used to walk between streets and narrow alleys and discover garbage piles and construction sites. I realized that "normal" people built and created things better than artists or professionals. Plus, what they were making was more natural. I decided against becoming an artist and decided instead to be an ordinary person who thinks like an artist.
But you went to art school too, right?
I attended Hongik Art School and started painting there. Around 1986 or 1987, I entered a contest and happened to receive the grand prize—a ticket to Europe. Basically, I made the paintings I thought they'd like in order to enter the contest and travel to Europe. When I returned, I burnt all my drawings and decided to never paint again. I accomplished my goal of winning a trip to Europe, but I was ashamed, and decided that from that point on I would use my work to portray only the things I truly felt. For example, I think construction sites are rough and alive, but I don't want to paint them because I can't seem to express those feelings in two dimensions. After I made that realization, I started to pick up things from the street and take photos of them.
You use a lot of plastic and other cheap stuff in your artwork? Why do you like it so much?
First of all, plastic does not rot. I contemplate the differences between a real flower and a plastic flower a lot. The real flower can be ripped and will deteriorate in a short time, but the plastic flower is immortal. And the interesting thing is that there is such thing as a fake flower that looks real and a fake flower that looks fake. I played around with these concepts of plastic, real, and fake; and that's how the plastic series started. Another thing is that I like collecting old plastic. When I look at my collection, I tend to get a lot of ideas.
What's one example of how your obsession with plastic and garbage has paid off?
In 2009, at the Seoul Design Olympiad, I gathered the trash that got thrown away by the 10 million people in attendance and hung it in Jamsil Stadium. The point was to see the difference between trash and art and ask the questions: What makes us feel emotion and affection? Who is to decide what's worthy and what's not? The whole stadium was covered with trash, but it became beautiful and sparkly and memorable when light was projected on it. Now I am doing that all over the globe. It's basically a campaign that emphasizes working with worthless materials. I like doing things outside of art museums. I dislike the whole pay system of museums and prefer working and interacting with people outside. For example, I recently completed a project in which people tied massive amounts of balloons to the outside of a museum in Chile. I love participatory projects like that.

So, my first review of a great jacket. Sorry for the time between posts. More inspirational stories, an update on the success of my diet, my training regime for my next races, and my next run for SouthSide (which will really be a year long challenge, but more on that later!)
Here are my impressions of the North Face Torpedo Jacket:
|Wind Resistance
All runs were in sub-25 degree temperatures (I know that's nothing for you up north, but them's the cards I was dealt) with one of the days being pretty windy (various weather websites had the "how it feels" temp down to 15), and one of the nights being a half marathon called the Shivering Icy Trail Run (I may post a race report once my fingers finally thaw). Because I don't mind running in extremes as long as I can create a comfortable environment bubble around me, I used it as a shell over two thermal layers. Sans the shell, the wind would cut through these layers like a scythe, as was evident by my having to cut my planned 20 mile run short because the gloves I was wearing were not up to the task.I've test-driven the North Face Torpedo jacket on more than a few cold days here in St. Louis, and I've got to say, I'm impressed. I started looking for a good light, yet wind and water resistant jacket when my bulkier jacket became too cumbersome and my lighter jacket that I use for running in the Spring and Fall was not up to the task of cutting the winter wind.
Wind Resistance- A
While not completely blocking said wind, the jacket performed very well. On longer runs, I employ a run/walk pattern and during the walking bits is when I need heat retention. The jacket took more than a few gusts full on and I only felt the slightest discomfort on either my core or my arms (hands, as mentioned before, were another story).
Comfort- A
Even though I don't swing my arms like Phoebe when I run, I don't like to feel restricted. The jacket was true to size and even with two thermal layers underneath, I felt like I could move very well. Because it's light, I wasn't weighed down (although if you do ever feel weighed down by a running jacket, you probably should consider adding some upper body conditioning exercises to your training routine) and the collar was felt-padded (not sure of the technical term), so even fully zipped, I didn't experience any chafing. There's no cord to draw the bottom tight, which I find nice, but not necessary as long as I tuck my other layers into my bottoms.
Convenience- A+
The jacket has two front zip pockets that I used for both keys and my iPod. I like the fact that North Face connected the interior liner of the pockets so it could be used as additional. My favorite, though, is the dual back pocket. First, an accessible pocket that could be used for a water bottle or food, and a zippered pocket to hold the keys you don't want to put in the front pocket. Counting the interior pockets, that's six total! It doesn't have a dedicated music player pocket, but I've always found the holes to push through your earphones fiddly (another technical term), so I don't consider that a negative.
Style- A
Good reflective strips, choice of colors, and I just look good running in it!
So, a great jacket that I will be using for a while. Questions initially about water resistance, were laid to rest during the Shivering half marathon. It was cold, then rainy, then sleety, then ridiculously cold over the course of a few hours and the jacket kept me dry (can't say as much for my gloves or shoes, but my torso was fine!)
Finally, quick poll- since I'm a bit of a gear geek, I'm happy to review more products I use, but if it's a waste of your time, let me know. I'll go with the majority.

This was just another Sicilian pizza made with KAAP and less water. I think I am done testing the KAAP for a Sicilian pizza.
Norma,Why is that?Peter
I have to wait and see how much cheese prices, flours and other ingredients might go up because of the drought in the US. Did you see any indicators of how much ingredients will go up for pizza in the next year?
Norma,Everything I have been reading points to significant increases in the prices of ingredients that go into pizzas, because of the drought and other shortages around the world. This article is typical of what I have been reading: http://www.newsday.com/news/world/global-food-reserves-falling-as-drought-wilts-crops-1.3894493.Today it hit 111 degrees F where I am, which apparently set a new record for this date. This morning when I woke up it was a pleasant 78 degrees F. Peter
Looks fantastic, I will give this a try
Thank you Norma very much for all your hard work creating this recipe! Here are some pic's of my Sicilian pie using your recipe.I used Kabf .The dough was meant for a smaller rectangle pan but last minute decided on a round deep dish pan ,so it was a little thin.p.s. my kids devoured it!!
Thanks CB! norma hooked it up!
Thanks again Norma, The pan was 16" dia. The pizza was great coming out of the oven but then got a little chewy when it was getting cold.Great reheated though ! Next time I will use Kaap it should help with that problem.
She's a clever lady, that one.....

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) State-owned companies in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates are spending millions of dollars to attract high-profile sporting events such as the Formula One Grand Prix and FIFA's club world championship. But they have shown little interest in using that avalanche of cash to develop local athletes or support the Emirati Olympic team.
Sports marketing experts say the companies are drawn to big name stars from high-profile sports such as golf and tennis that can draw international attention to the country, not unknown Emirati athletes competing in Olympic events such as taekwondo and judo.
That attitude has frustrated the country's only Olympic medalist, Sheik Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher al-Maktoum, who believes that Emirati companies and the ruling families that control them should be motivated more by national prestige than profit.
Ahmed won a gold medal in double trap shooting in the 2004 Olympics in Athens but was so upset that his victory didn't spark more excitement and support for local athletes that he planned to skip the Beijing Games until two months ago.
"I was not willing to put in three years of my life, do it all by myself again and win a medal for my country," said Ahmed, 45.
At the last minute, he was persuaded to compete by his coach, Josh Lakatos, a U.S. Olympian who won a silver medal in double trap shooting at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.
"The past four years have been very frustrating for him," Lakatos said.
Ahmed had hoped his gold medal would motivate the government to build a sports academy to train local athletes and would boost interest by companies in sponsoring the eight Emiratis headed to Beijing to compete in swimming, sailing, track and field, equestrian show jumping, taekwondo, judo and double trap shooting.
Four years later, the sports academy remains a dream. Only one Emirati company has agreed to sponsor the country's Olympic team - Abu Dhabi-based real estate developer Hydra Properties.
"I wish we had more (sponsors)," said Ibrahim Abdul-Malik, secretary general of the Emirati Olympic Committee.
Financial support is less important to Ahmed than the idea of national backing for the country's athletes. The Olympic champion and three of the other Emiratis competing in Beijing are wealthy members of the ruling family of Dubai, which has boomed in the last decade from a sparse patch of desert to the business center of the Middle East, complete with man-made islands and the world's tallest building.
Abdul-Malik said the country's ruling families provided some financial support for the Olympians, but both he and Ahmed were hoping for high-profile sponsorship from the large firms they control.
Companies in Dubai and the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi, which has some of the largest oil reserves in the world, have stepped up competition with other rich Gulf states in recent years to sponsor the biggest and most prestigious sporting events.
There are so many company ads plastered across the walls at Dubai's annual thoroughbred race - the world's richest - that it is difficult to focus on the horses. Abu Dhabi will stage the country's first Formula One Grand Prix race next year, and Dubai will host the FIFA Club World Cup in 2009 and 2010.
But that commercial enthusiasm has not helped Olympians such as Ahmed who have struggled to attract attention in a country that does not have a strong local sports tradition outside of horse racing.
"The UAE is investing in athletes that attract TV coverage and make people come to Dubai," said Sean Ennis, a U.K.-based sports marketing expert who also lectures in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
High-profile sporting events "produce far greater returns for sponsors than the Olympics," he added.
The U.S. Olympic team has a mile-long list of official partners, sponsors, suppliers and official outfitters. But unlike the Emirates, the U.S. has many star athletes competing in high-profile sports in Beijing and has won more medals than any country in Olympic history.
There is less of a tradition of company sponsorship in small oil-rich Gulf states, where the governments have more than enough money to bankroll athletes who want to compete in the Olympics. The Emirates has a population of about 4.6 million - some 75 percent of whom are foreigners - and one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.
Even Qatar, which made a failed bid to host the Olympics in 2016, is sending its 22-member team to Beijing without a single company sponsor, said Ravi Kumar, the editor of a local sports magazine. But the tiny Gulf nation of less than 1 million people has also spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build one of the world's most advanced sports academies to find and train local athletes - an initiative Ahmed and other Emirati athletes can only envy.
Emirati companies have not completely ignored the Beijing Olympics. State-owned real estate developer Nakheel is holding an exhibition at a Dubai mall highlighting the history of the Olympics and the country's participation. The exhibition includes weekly demonstrations of sports such as gymnastics and fencing.
Nakheel's event provides little solace for Ahmed, who had hoped for so much more. He said he will compete in Beijing but has little motivation to make it all the way through the competition and defend his title.
"If I make it to the next day, fine," he said. "If not, I will go and have a cup of coffee with my coach."

Nice find. Someone with a 2stone needs to do a side by side comparison.
"brick-heated pizza?"Are they so desperate to use the word "brick" that they are oblivious to how dumb that sounds?
I would like to hear your $.02 on the design. I know you know about such things.
I don't know how I could comment based on how little you can see. I see this in the description "Patent-pending cooking chamber." I wonder what it is that they think is novel? I looked at USPTO, but I didn't find the application. Probably hasn't been published yet. There are a number of other outdoor and grill-based oven applications pending though.
My advice is the same for all ovens. Look at the pizzas used for marketing it by the manufacturer and assume that is the best it can produce. Although this ovens looks a little better then many that hit the market in that respect it still looks to leave a lot to be desired and does not look up to par with the product it BLATANTLY ripped off.
Exactly.... SHOW ME THE PIZZA... that's what I have done... or at least, I think I did. Which make sense to me.

This is a long post. I hope you'll stick with me, even if my writing is kind of all over the place. It comes back full circle.
I struggle with finding Joy in my life. Lately, it has become an even bigger challenge. Ocassionally, I will encounter Joy in a fleeting moment, and then she's gone, leaving me to feel like I will never find her again.
Today I read one of my favorite bloggers, Glennon Melton from Momastery. Much of what she writes is positive, and uplifting, and difficult and challenging. It's what she calls, Brutiful. (Brutal and beautiful.) Today she wrote how we often forget what brings us Joy. She said that we need to be still to listen and remember what brings us Joy. One way to do that is to think back to when we were 12 and remember what made us joyful.
I totally get this idea. I have been blogging consisitently for 22 days. I am remembering what brings me Joy. I keep forgetting. Well, maybe I don't forget, as much as I don't make important the practice of encountering Joy.
What follows is a blog post I wrote over a year ago. At the time I wrote it Joy was not even a visitor to my life. I remember feeling so uplifted that day, after writing this post . Then, I got sidetracked with my life, and I didn't finish writing it. I forgot about the Joy I found. Today, after reading Glennon's post, it reminded me that I had the same thought a year ago. I remembered what brought me Joy when I was 12. It still brings me Joy at 50. . . .
I started writing when I was just a girl. I used to write and (badly) illustrate children's stories. I won a poetry writing contest in 5th grade. I was inspired to write more, and throughout my grade school days I continued writing. I wrote poetry, short stories and essays, plays. I wrote whenever I felt inspired and I didn't think too much about grammar, punctuation, syntax or even spelling. By the time I graduated 8th grade I established that I was a writer, and I won another writing award. Then I entered high school—a bigger pond with a lot more fish.
There were a lot of kids who liked to write. All of a sudden I realized there was a lot more to learn about the craft of writing and my confidence waned. Being the competitive self that I am I started to compare my writing to others' around me. When my poetry didn't make it into the high school's poetry journal and I started getting B's in English, I began to doubt myself.
Once, in a high school literature course, I wrote an inspired essay about Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream. The words just flowed out of me. When I was done writing, I knew it was a well-written essay. I eagerly awaited the teacher's comments. The teacher agreed it was a well-written essay. In fact, it was so well-written that he questioned me about its authenticity. Did I even write it? Perhaps I was "inspired" from another source? Ouch.
I put away my notebooks and decided to turn my attention to other interests. No more writing for me, but then, it would call to me. During those moments in my life of sadness, confusion or Joy, I would be inspired to write it all down. In an assortment of notebooks I jotted poetry, prose, whatever came to me. One day, and I don't know when or why, I stashed it all away so that I couldn't even remember where to find it.
About three years ago, I became a blogger, and in that way I became a writer. I write. It's not always good, it's not always inspired, but I do it because I enJOY it. Sometimes I remember the sting of my high school teacher's comment. I wonder, is my writing any good? Is anyone out there reading? I write mainly for myself, but it's so affirming when I get a comment or a word of encouragement. Recently, I received this comment from a reader named Jill.
" Hi, I happened upon your page because i was google-ing for an image of things tapped to the inside of kitchen cabinets for my https://www.facebook.com/sTuCkInThEtees?ref=stream
facebook page (memories of the 70s 80s 90s)
As I was raised by my grandparents after both my parents passed away when i was 7 yrs old, and my grandmother had Dear Abby clippings, tv guide covers, recipes etc. tapped inside our cabinets…..
I could NOT leave your LWB page without saying that I was moved to tears! I don't know you, your grandmother, your family or friends….However i feel blessed and honored that by this story! Your story and memories have given me some "healing" from my youth…."
I wrote the post she's referring to in an inspired moment. I started writing it in the car, as we left my grandmother's house. Somehow, in the random world of Google Searches this reader found me, and found my grandmother's story. Jill's words let me know that, somehow, my words have given her some healing for her own loss. Her comment comforted me and motivated me.
It's comforting to know that my own Grandmother's life is touching others even after her death, and its due in part to my writing about her. So I will continue to blog. I will continue to write.
And with that, I will continue to find Joy.
What brings you Joy? What brought you Joy when you were 12?

Qualcomm Set to Shine in 2013
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Qualcomm
The chip maker, widely regarded as one of the key beneficiaries of the push to high-speed LTE networks, gave a bullish outlook for the coming years, further cementing its status as one of tech's brightest stars.
Recent weeks have seen a host of big-name tech firms strike a cautious tone about the coming months, with Intel
Qualcomm, however, shrugged off the spending headwinds that have characterized this tech earnings season, projecting 20% to 26% revenue growth in fiscal 2013 and non-GAAP operating income growth between 14% and 21%.
Clearly, there's a big market opportunity ahead for the component maker and key Apple
The booming demand for smartphones and tablets, combined with lucrative opportunities in emerging markets and the expansion of high-speed networks, put Qualcomm in a great position.
"We continue to be buyers with 2013 catalysts including China Mobile, new products, iPhone and a secularly growing smartphone market," wrote Sterne Agee analyst Vijay Rakesh, in a note released on Friday. Some 65% of China Unicom's phones contain Qualcomm processors, added the analyst, noting that China Mobile presents a big opportunity for the company in the first half of next year.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors already support a wide flavor of 3G and 4G technologies, something that's key in countries such as China, where a wide range of networks are in use. The next version of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors will be introduced in the first quarter of 2013.
The company also continues to ride the Apple wave. Qualcomm provides a power management chip, an LTE modem and an RF Transceiver for the new iPhone 5, continuing its strong partnership with the tech giant. Other Qualcomm customers include Samsung, Nokia
The chip maker discussed the booming smartphone and tablet space during its annual analyst meeting, describing a total market of 5 billion cumulative smartphone unit sales between 2012 and 2016.

That would be criminal IMO.
That would be criminal IMO.
If this is true Tomlin has to be fired immidately!!!!!!!!!!!
What? For real? That sounds crazy.
Steelers face fine, loss of draft pick
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin could be fined at least $100,000 and the team could lose a draft pick as a result of Tomlin interfering with a play by stepping on the field, according to multiple reports.
The play occurred in the third quarter of Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens. After Pittsburgh scored to close to 13-7, Baltimore returner Jacoby Jones broke free down the sideline on the ensuing kickoff but slowed up with Tomlin on the white stripe near the field of play — with his foot on the field at one point as Jones neared his location.
Tomlin, who had his back to the play, was not penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. He said he did not think he interfered with Jones.
The NFL fined the New York Jets $100,000 in 2010 when strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi tripped a Miami Dolphins player running down the sideline.
Tomlin is on the league's competition committee, which helps make new rules.
I am not the one to say coaches should be fired.
However, if this happens, Tomlin needs to go. The
Head Coach being the reason we lose draft picks is
unacceptable to me. Also 2 non playoff years doesn't
help either.
I'm willing to bet anyone 20$ that we don't lose a draft pick. It's just another fabricated story from the reporters.
Fine him, suspend him a game but don't take a freaking draft pick. That would be unreal, it didn't alter the outcome of the game. Hopefully it's just more bs from the wonderful nfl reporters
1. CB Marcus Peters Washington 6/190
2. OG Josue Matias Florida State 6-6/320

OLB Davis Tull Chattanooga 6-2/242
Just ridiculous.
my car's out back
if you're ready to take that long walk
I always joke with my friends that there is an anti-steeler bias in the NFL. if we lose a draft pick for this then I will actually believe it. The Cheatriots lose a draft pick for CHEATING IN THE SUPERBOWL and you're going to take away a draft pick from us for this?

Mr. Speaker, many people who live in urban environments are transient. I spoke earlier about the UN special rapporteur's report on housing and homelessness in Canada, and it is no wonder. People are facing a crisis. Many people who live in cities simply do not have an ID or a residence address but they can be vouched for under a statutory declaration. It is a fairly widespread problem.
I want to quote from a blog on the CTV website. It is from someone in the Gulf Islands who said, "Well, I guess I won't be voting in the next election. I live on a small Gulf Island off the B.C. coast. We were recently assigned house numbers for this island but pick up mail on a different island and our voting stations are on a third island. A few years ago I was turned away at the polls because my driver's licence address (place I live) didn't match my voters card address (mailing address). Here we go again...."
That kind of thing happens all over Canada.
In one of the advance polls in the last election, a person who lived on one Gulf Island had to travel to Vancouver Island to cross over to another Gulf Island to vote in the advance poll.
If we are going to talk about how we actually ensure voters legitimately vote in this country, we need to fix some of the problems that are in the system that have been clearly identified, instead of doing the kinds of things in Bill C-31, which actually made sure voters could not vote.

Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, my colleague has put forward many good arguments. Over the past while in Parliament, before the summer break, we worked diligently on this issue trying to understand what was driving the government agenda in actually developing Bill C-31 in the first place.
Is it a question of voter fraud? We had four cases of voter fraud in the last four elections. That is not sufficient to bring forward an act to this Parliament.
Is it a question that somehow our system of voting is under scrutiny, that the elaborate system of returning officers, scrutineers and the complete system of Canadian voting, which is probably one of the best in the world, is somehow under suspicion? Are we letting too many people through the gate? Is it because some people walking into the polls are unable to identify themselves in many instances?
Yes, there are some problems but did it require this kind of authoritarian hammer that came down in terms of Bill C-31? Or, is this something else? Is this really about social conditioning? Is the bill one of the steps that is leading us toward a more authoritarian state where everything we do must be qualified with some form of identification, where we are moving toward government identity cards and where we are taking the steps that will lead us to a society that Canadians will not like? Or, are the steps being taken small ones so that Canadians will be conditioned to accept this kind of burden?
What does my hon. colleague think was the motive behind the government moving ahead with this legislation, wasting our time in Parliament and creating a situation where, in the next election, we will have massive confusion at the polls, which will turn many people off voting? What was the government's purpose in all of this?

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question. It remains somewhat of a mystery because the chief electoral officer himself talked about the fact that fraud in our electoral system was a rare and unusual case.
Instead of dealing with the circumstances as they arose, this is the government's response. It makes great political rhetoric because the government can say that it is protecting the integrity of the voting system. However, the integrity of the voting system, by and large, is just fine, thanks very much. Instead, what we had was a response that far outweighed the problem.
What happens when we develop responses that far outweigh the problems identified is that mistakes are made. Instead, we have created a far greater problem with this flawed piece of legislation.
There is a creeping notion and we are seeing it any number of ways. We now have no-fly lists. What is happening in this day and age in our country in terms of protecting the integrity of certain systems when we have this kind of legislation creeping in?

Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, there is probably nothing more important in a democracy than to have integrity in the voting system, integrity in results. It is critically important that everybody who wants their voice heard in an election have that opportunity.
However, it is also critically important that the results of an election, the results in all 308 ridings, are beyond question, that they are above any sort of suspicion that there may be a problem in the voting system.
It is right for members of Parliament to look at the system from time to time to ensure the integrity of the system is beyond reproach.
Does the member feel that the previous system was perfect or is it right for Parliament, from time to time, to look at the system and ensure the integrity is there and that the results of an election in any riding cannot be questioned?

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, of course New Democrats are absolutely concerned with the integrity of the system. That is why we are really concerned with a bill that actually disenfranchised a million voters. When we talk about the integrity of the system, surely a bill that actually does not let people vote when they legitimately should be able to vote speaks to a lack of integrity in that bill.
New Democrats again have suggested ways to make sure people could vote legitimately.

Canada Elections Act
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, I understand completely. This is going to be a very important question period.
It is my pleasure to speak to Bill C-18, An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act (verification of residence). A few minutes ago, my colleague from Drummond discussed this and stated that the Bloc Québécois supports Bill C-18 in principle.
The purpose of the bill is to close some of the loopholes in Bill C-31. All of our colleagues who have spoken to Bill C-18 talked about problems that resulted from the adoption of Bill C-31. People did not pass it in bad faith to cause problems, but, as is frequently the case, they realized after the fact that there were some problems. That is what happened with Bill C-31, which attempted to minimize opportunities for fraud or error by strengthening requirements related to voter identification. People were asked to produce identification that included their home address. That was when a pretty serious problem surfaced.
Elections Canada revealed that at least one million Canadians do not have a proper residential address, that is, an address with a civic number and street name, as required by Bill C-31. This might seem strange or unusual to someone who lives in the city and has always had a civic address with a street name. This does not mean, however, that these other people have nowhere to live. We are familiar with the plight of the homeless. However, there are also people who live in a rural setting who do not have that kind of address. It is not the same thing. They do not have a civic number and street name. They may simply have a rural route number. For instance, in the case of first nations peoples, their address might simply be the name of the reserve and nothing else. The address is just as valid, but it is not the kind of address that city dwellers tend to have.
One million voters represent 4.4% of all eligible voters in Canada. As I was saying, in rural settings, addresses often consist of post office boxes or rural routes. On first nations reserves, residential addresses often consist only of the name of the reserve. In order to ensure a healthy democratic process, everyone must, if possible, have the right to vote, which is an inalienable right.
Those who have a rural route as their address, for instance, cannot call upon a vouching elector from the same polling division, because he or she will have a similar address. If a voter brings along their neighbour or their roommate because they do not have all the documentation required by the law, the problem is that the other person will have more or less exactly the same address. They will have the same problem, that is, no civic number or street name. Therein lies the problem in Bill C-31.
This situation affects about one million people in Canada. Fortunately, the number is much smaller in Quebec, but there are people who do have that problem. Indeed, 15,836 voters, or 0.27% of all electors in Quebec were found to have an address that can be described as incomplete. They find themselves in the situation that I described earlier, in that they do not necessarily have a civic number or a street name. So, a solution had to be found to allow the greatest possible number of people to exercise their right to vote, a right—and I am saying it again, because it is important—that is unalienable.
So, Bill C-18 was drafted. However, the democratic process must be conducted while trying to prevent fraud as much as possible. Now, we joke about the days when people used to say that political parties would sometimes make dead people vote. We laugh, but it is not funny, because it was the reality. Some people did use that ploy at one time. Whenever the possibility exists, dishonest people will try to use all sorts of schemes to win elections in a fraudulent and illegal manner. That was done in the past. People would go to the cemetery, write down the name of a dead person, find his old address, and then go and vote while using the dead person's identity. This really happened.
In more recent times—unfortunately, this may still be happening, but it definitely did in the rather recent past—some people would vote by doing nothing less than to steal another voter's identity.
I do not believe I am mistaken in saying that this happened in the borough of Anjou, in Quebec. In the very recent past, it was proven that people were engaging in this fraudulent practice. Someone was elected because people—called floating voters—had been paid to vote for that person by stealing other voters' identities. This is a serious problem that must be prevented. That is why the NDP's suggestion that people simply take an oath in order to have the right to vote is highly problematic. It is not enough.
Bill C-18 amends the Canada Elections Act to relax the rules on verifying residence for voters who live in areas where the municipal address on pieces of identification consists of a post office box, general delivery or a rural route. The bill provides that if the mailing address on the pieces of identification provided does not prove the voter's residence, but is consistent with the information related to that voter on the voters list, the voter's residence is deemed to have been proven. For example, a voter whose identification shows an address limited to a rural route can prove his residence if that mailing address matches the information on the voters list.
In the case of someone who is vouching for another voter, the bill requires that the voucher first prove his or her own identity and residence. If the address on the voucher's identification matches the information related to the voucher on the voters list, that address can be used to prove the voucher's residence.
I will conclude by saying that if there is any doubt, the deputy returning officer, poll clerk, candidate or candidate's representative can ask the voter to take the prescribed oath. This is what is proposed in Bill C-18. As I said earlier, the Bloc Québécois supports this bill in principle.
Sinclair Cutcliffe

Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to one of P.E.I.'s finest sons, Sinclair Cutcliffe, who passed away Saturday.
Sinclair spent his lifetime helping others and was strongly committed to his family, his community and Canada. He was active in many capacities, key among them being past owner and director of Cutcliffe Funeral Home. He was a provincial MLA and deputy speaker, a stalwart Liberal activist, a founding member of the Hillsborough Rotary Club, provider of ambulance services and first aid training to nurses and firefighters. For his years in first aid he won the highest honour, the Order of the Red Cross.
Although he never sat in this chamber having made one attempt to do so, he still had an influence on this place and federal policy through his active connections with Prime Minister Trudeau and the Liberal Party. The stories he could tell.
Canada and Prince Edward Island are a better place because of Sinclair Cutcliffe. We thank his family and we wish them well.
Democratic Reform
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bruce Stanton Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, as our government took office almost 22 months ago, there was little doubt that Canadians had grown tired of the scandals and entitlement that had become the watchwords of the former Liberal government. They looked to us to clean up the mess and get government back on track. We have kept that commitment. We have honoured that promise and our work continues.
I am proud to be part of a government that just this week introduced new legislation that goes right to the heart of a more democratic accountable government, giving Canadians a say as to who will represent them in the Senate, limiting Senate terms to eight years, and providing fairness in representation in the House.
We know from experience that the Liberals will flip and flop, obstruct and delay these reforms, just as they did in the last session. It is up to Liberal members and senators to put their romance with the days of privilege behind them, do what Canadians want and expect, stand up and pass these measures without delay here and in the other place.
International Day of Tolerance
Statements By Members

Johanne Deschamps Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, every November 16 is designated as the International Day of Tolerance, a day to advance human welfare, freedom and progress everywhere, as well as to encourage tolerance, respect, dialogue and cooperation among different cultures, civilizations and peoples.
In Darfur, Burma and Colombia, the concept of tolerance is being trampled and severely tested. Closer to home, the Conservative government's tolerance of the minorities in this country also leaves much to be desired.
They are intolerant of women's groups which dare to fight for their rights and for pay equity, intolerant of our workers, from whom they have been stealing billions of dollars for years, and intolerant of Quebeckers, whom they recognize as a nation, even though that does not really mean a thing.
Youth Rendez-vous

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, Rendez-vous Jeunesse will bring together some 150 young people to discuss the future of the Acadian peninsula. It will be held November 16 and 17 at the Shippagan campus of the Université de Moncton.
The aim of the meeting, an initiative of the Comité Avenir jeunesse, is to create a platform for discussion and the exchange of ideas regarding the Acadian peninsula's social, economic and educational situation.
The event will consist of workshops and other activities, as young people from near and from afar share their success stories.
This innovative and ambitious project, designed by and for young people, will help boost the development of the Acadian peninsula and serve as preparation for a youth encounter initiative as part of the Congrès mondial acadien in 2009. On behalf of the NDP, I would like to wish Rendez-vous Jeunesse every success.
Alberta Diabetes Institute

Rahim Jaffer Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, November 14, marked the celebration of World Diabetes Day. On that same day, Canada's largest diabetes institute opened at the University of Alberta.
The Alberta Diabetes Institute will bring together top researchers in type 1 and type 2 diabetes to work toward prevention, better treatment and an eventual cure of the disease.
The disease affects 150,000 Albertans with 1,000 new patients being diagnosed each month. The opening of this remarkable institute will certainly have a positive effect on the prognosis and management of their disease.
This is the largest free-standing building dedicated to diabetes work in Canada and will house more than 200 researchers. The new building will hold 35 investigator labs for people in physical education, medicine, nutrition, pharmacy and public health.
The lives of Albertans and Canadians living with diabetes will be dramatically improved with the opening of this institute. As a resident of and member of Parliament for Edmonton—Strathcona, I am proud to congratulate Dr. Ray Rajotte and his team for working very hard to make this a reality.
Income Trusts
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
John McCallum Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, I hold in my hands a petition from 4,000 Canadians who want to remind the Prime Minister that he once said, "There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept". They are among the million-plus victims of the Prime Minister's broken promise on income trusts.
Their names were compiled by David Marshall, a retired man from the Cornwall area who worked hard all his life only to see his retirement savings go up in smoke. He delivered these names to me on the first anniversary of the income trust announcement.
What he and millions of Canadians want now is simple. They want the government to uncover the 18 pages of blacked-out documents used to justify destroying their billions of dollars of savings.
Most of all, they want an apology, because the only thing they did wrong was to take the Prime Minister at his word.
Project Red Ribbon
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Patricia Davidson Sarnia—Lambton, ON
Mr. Speaker, Project Red Ribbon officially started on Parliament Hill today.
This national campaign asks Canadians to display a red ribbon on their vehicle or their car keys, purse, backpack or other personal item.
This red ribbon is a tribute to honour those killed or injured in impaired driving crashes. It also serves as a constant message to people on the roads to drive safe and sober.
MADD Canada hopes the red ribbon will also serve as a reminder to call 911 and take action in ensuring our roads are safe.
We can all agree that impaired driving is not to be tolerated. That is why this government has introduced impaired driving measures within the tackling violent crime act. I urge the House to support this important legislation and I urge Canadians to support MADD's valiant efforts by displaying a red ribbon.

Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, as the third World Conference on Doping in Sport opens today in Madrid with the objective of revising the World Anti-Doping Code, I would like to highlight the importance of this exercise for the credibility of the world of sport.
Every day, thousands of athletes spare neither time, nor money, nor energy—sometimes to the detriment of their health—to give a performance that will go down in history. They have to deal with the demands of sponsors and the public's judgment. They must never disappoint.
We cannot deny that all this pressure makes doping attractive. However, athletes—as well as their families, doctors and trainers—must realize that doping is illegal and must not be trivialized.
This third conference should also eliminate the threat of moving the agency's main office, currently located in Montreal. The Secretary of State, now in Madrid, must accept nothing less.

Brian, The list is too simplified, there is more than just time to set Neapoltan apart from other styles of pizza, like a woodburning oven, as well as other factors. If Kenji's skillet Neapolitan (his usage) method was a two minute bake, we should call it Neapolitan? So now Neapolitan is classified by looks alone? That's one slippery slope..........Don
OK!!! thank you all. I will make it 2.5 on the salt. When I do it I'll post it on NP site. I'll call it Neo-Neapolitan on the half shell, it sounds sexier than hybrid.

Swarm Sign Suitor to Record Deal
from Press Release
|Andrew Suitor has been signed to
a team record 5-year deal.
© Minnesota Swarm
SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The National Lacrosse League's (NLL) Minnesota Swarm today announced that the team has agreed to terms with team captain T Andrew Suitor on a new five-year contract, which marks the longest deal in team history. The Swarm also locked up assistant captains F Callum Crawford to a two-year contract and D Jeff Gilbert to a one-year deal.
"Our captaincy program is second to none," Swarm associate general manager and head coachJoe Sullivan said. "With Andrew Suitor, Callum Crawford, and Jeff Gilbert as our captains, I'd put them up against anybody in the league."
As the NLL's youngest captain for the past two years, Suitor, 24, has helped the Swarm reach the Division Finals in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history. Known as one of the league's toughest players, Suitor has become a fan favorite at The Hive with his gritty defensive skills and knack for making big plays on both sides of the ball. In 2012, Suitor was named the NLL's Transition Player of the Year and was selected to the All-Pro First Team in only his second season the league.
Suitor's new long-term contract ensures that the Swarm's captain will be playing at The Hive for many more years to come.
"Words can't describe how excited I am," Suitor said. "This is the organization that gave me a chance as a rookie, then to be a young captain, and now the chance to grow up in front of these fans. I plan on bringing multiple championships here and we have the team to do it. We're going to continue to get better and I don't want to play anywhere but Minnesota and I think a five-year contract says a lot about that."
"We are elated to have Andrew sign the longest contract in franchise history," Swarm Owner and Governor John Arlotta said. "To put it simply but emphatically, he is our Captain. He is our leader. He is the heart and soul of the Minnesota Swarm."
Arlotta continued, "There aren't many players who can inspire and motivate like he does, both on and off the field. It's great to have him back, and we are honored by the long-term commitment he has made to the Swarm family."
Coach Sullivan also acknowledged that Suitor is the "heart and soul" of the Swarm. "He has an impact on everybody, that's just the way he plays and the way he leads," Sullivan added. "I couldn't be happier to know that I have Andrew Suitor on my bench for the next five years."
Minnesota selected the Orangeville, Ontario native in the first round (fourth overall) of the 2010 NLL Entry Draft. In his three years with the Swarm, Suitor has not only excelled on the field, but he has also been actively involved in local community, having lived in St. Paul for the past three seasons. In his time in the Twin Cities, Suitor has worked with Swarm co-owner and presidentAndy Arlotta in helping build the country's largest youth box lacrosse league -- the YBL -- and helping coach the team's Jr. Swarm program.
"Since Day One, John and Andy Arlotta have treated me as a part of their family," Suitor said. "With this five-year deal, it shows how much trust I have in them, and how much trust they have in me. I'm not just signing a contract; I'm signing a five-year family agreement."
In 2013, Suitor sustained an unfortunate ACL injury in Week 8 against the Edmonton Rush that forced the third-year pro to miss the rest of the regular season as well as postseason action. Despite his injury, Suitor remained with the team on the weekends and played a critical leadership role in the locker room to help fuel the Swarm's run to the East Division Finals. Entering the 2014 season, Suitor has made it clear as to how he plans to return to the field.
"This is the hardest that I've ever worked to be ready for a season," Suitor said. "I'm going to come back ready to go and come out of the gates flying on December 28th against Rochester."
In 2012, Suitor posted career-highs in points (26), goals (15), assists (11) and loose balls (120) in 16 games. In addition to being named the Transition Player of the Year and making the All-Pro team, Suitor also served as an assistant captain for the West All-Stars.
Crawford, 29, is fresh off another incredible season at the helm of the Swarm offense. Named a 2013 First-Team All-Pro, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound forward led Minnesota in scoring with 95 points (32g, 63a), which was good for fourth in the NLL. In 2013, Crawford became the Swarm's all-time leader in points (344) and assists (234), and needs 26 goals in 2014 to become the franchise's all-time leader in goals.
Crawford also spent time as the Swarm's interim captain in 2013 when Andrew Suitor sustained a season ending injury. The Ottawa, Ontario native is entering his fifth year with Minnesota and his 9th in the NLL, and set a career (and franchise) high with 96 points in 2010.
"I want to spend the rest of my career in Minnesota," Crawford said. "During my contract discussions with the team, every conversation was about winning championships and what we need to do as a team, and what I can do to contribute to getting championships. Our whole focus behind this season is becoming a championship team. We have the pieces to be successful, and we're bringing in players who will help us reach that goal, and I'm happy to be one of those players."
"Assigning Callum as our permanent assistant captain is going to speak volumes to our commitment to both Callum and the development of our team," Sullivan said. "He portrays everything we are looking for in a Minnesota Swarm lacrosse player. He speaks it, he does it on and off the floor, and I don't think you could find a better mentor than Callum for this young offense to look to."
Gilbert, 30, finished his second season as an assistant captain with the Swarm in 2013, and posted a career-high 15 points (3g, 12a) along with 64 loose balls. In 2012, the Barrie, Ontario native finished second in the NLL with 26 forced turnovers and earned NLL All-Pro Second Team honors.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound defenseman is a graduate from Robert Morris University, and also has a Champion's Cup under his belt with Toronto in 2011. Coming into training camp Gilbert has his sights set on repeating that feat with the Swarm.
"It's a good feeling to get a deal done, we have some really nice intangibles and more experience coming back," Gilbert said. "If you aren't playing to win a championship, you are in the wrong business. So this year, more so than any other, we should not be willing to accept anything less than a title, and it starts right out of the gate. You have to believe early and you have to believe often."
"We're excited to have Jeff back as an assistant captain with the experience he brings to the table, along with his leadership on and off the floor," Sullivan said. "His accomplishments in winning a Champion's Cup go a long way in showing our younger team what it takes to get there. He reinforces that each and every day."
All contracts are currently pending league approval.
The Swarm will open their first weekend of main camp on Friday, Nov. 29 and will practice until Sunday, Dec. 1 at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, Ontario. The team is set to return to Oakville for two additional main camp sessions from Dec. 6-8 and Dec. 13-15.
In 2014, the Swarm will be celebrating their 10th season of professional box lacrosse in the NLL and will kickoff the regular season on the road against the defending NLL champion Rochester Knighthawks at 6:30 p.m. CT Saturday, Dec. 28.
Minnesota will make its home debut at The Hive celebrating Native American Heritage Night Sunday, Jan. 19 during a 2 p.m. matchup against the Philadelphia Wings at Xcel Energy Center.
