A Christmas bike miracle
The Columbus Dispatch - December 23, 2013 03:21 PM
Enough about me already ... here's a feel-good holiday bike story...
Sue Olander stared and stared in disbelief at the spot where her beloved bicycle, which she called Attitude Adjuster, should have been.
It just had to be there.
But her Trek Madone was really and completely gone, stolen by a dastardly bicycle thief.
"I was shaking and I couldn't think; I thought I would throw up," Sue said. "My world started spinning on me; I couldn't get my phone out of my back pocket to call my husband to tell him someone had stolen my bike."
It was October 20, and Sue had just finished riding the Columbus Fall City Ride and was at North Market with 30 or so other cyclists, many from the Westerville Bicycle Club, of which Sue is a member.
They'd locked up their bikes, gone inside to grab something to eat, and came back out, ready for the ride home.
Also stolen was the bike of Gina Smith, Sue's friend. They had been locked together, with a single lock.
"Someone cut through it," Sue said. "They left the lock there, and one of my gloves. They took my helmet and mirror and one of my gloves. They took Gina's helmet and her seat bag."
Gina's seat bag had the keys to her car and apartment inside, adding to her problems.
In most cases, that would have been that … the bikes would have been lost forever, eventually sold via the internet to someone with no idea they were buying stolen merchandise.
But Sue was determined to get Attitude Adjuster back and solicited the help of her friends.
"I had a team of people trying to find it," she said of the daily cyber search she and her husband, Gary, conducted, along with Gina, Larry Graham, Craig Clark, Hans Monning, Jodi Dzuranin and Joanna Pallos. They were a band of highly motivated, cyberspace bike detectives.
"I had nightmares and anxiety attacks about losing my bicycle," said Sue, who works for the state, setting up vaccines for children without health insurance. She commutes daily by bike from her home in North Columbus to her Downtown office.
Sue and Gary had lovingly upgraded her Trek with several hard-to-find components and she rode Attitude Adjuster almost every day, 3,800 miles in 2012 and about 2,200 this year.
And when she rode her Trek, her mood was instantly better, hence the Attitude Adjuster nickname. Her Trek was more than a collection of carbon and components, "it's like it's your baby," Sue said.
Her miles were down this year due to some medical issues.
"I was at my mom's for Christmas and their dog bit off half my nose," Sue said of the December 2012 incident that required several subsequent procedures and surgeries to correct.
"It's been a rough year," she said. "I've had six surgeries since January 2."
More than ever, she needed Attitude Adjuster. And now her bike was gone.
And then, one day, she got a text from Larry.
"He said I think I found your bicycle," Sue said.
Larry had found it on Craigslist. Sue checked the description and photo on the website and, sure enough, it was Attitude Adjuster.
"Gary said to call the police," said Sue, who did just that. "But I got the runaround, they gave me two numbers to call and I left messages but didn't hear back."
Sue asked Gary to call the police and give it a try, which he did, and his persistence paid off. The police were on the case, contacted the bike seller and set up a meeting.
"The guy (who had her bike) said he wasn't comfortable having people come to his house, so they met him at the parking lot of the Steak 'n Shake on Polaris Parkway," Sue said. "There were two cops going, to make the fake buy."
Sue doesn't know the details of how the bust went down or the subsequent criminal charges, but the police got Attitude Adjuster back and were also able to recover Gina's bike when they eventually went to the seller's house.
" He said he got them from his mechanic," said Sue, who doesn't buy the story one bit. "I don't know if he was released or went to jail, but he was in police custody."
Sue got her bike back on Dec. 18.
"I was jumping up and down and clapping and crying and was shaking," said Sue, who thinks of it as her Christmas miracle. "It's an amazingly happy ending."
She and Larry (L) Gary (in the photo with Attitude Adjuster) and their bikes went on a celebratory ride on Sunday, as the rain stopped for a few hours and it was sort of warm out.
Sue also has some advice for others who have had their bikes stolen, an occurrence that is unfortunately all too common.
Write down the registration number and take photos of your bike, especially things that are distinctive to your particular bike.
"And keep checking Craigslist and get a team of people you know and trust to ask for help finding it," Sue said.

Topic: how to return error_code and message_string from method?
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to write a ruby/rails API for a WebService (WSDL) but I'm stuck with the error handling. I know that in php i once used PEAR (new PEAR_error and and PEAR.is_error() ). I'm sure there is also a nice implementation for something like that in ruby.
so for example in my api class I have a method to login somewhere:
def start_session(username,password,ip=nil)
if !@session.nil?
# here I'd like to return an error code and an error string -> error object?
return "session already in use"
response = @service.login(username,password,ip)
if response.status_code == 0
@session = response.message
# return another error object
return "could not login to system"
# everything is fine. we just return the session key
return @session
this method would then be called like that:
kt = myapi.new
@return_object = kt.start_session("user", "secret")
if !@return_object # check if something went wrong
logger.error @return_object.message
logger.info "session established"
how is that done proberly and "ruby" conform?
thanks for your help!

The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth, proclaims Alexandra Robbins, who subtitles her new book: Popularity, Quirk Theory, and Why Outsiders Thrive After High School.
Robbins follows six high school students and a young teacher (a Vermont lesbian teaching in the South) through a year of school, chronicling gamers, band geeks, emos, punks, loners, jocks and the Popular Bitch, who likes a punk boy. Even the teachers are consumed by gossip, petty rivalries, bitchery and bias toward the "popular," Robbins asserts.
A Chicago Sun-Times reviewer buys the premise that outsiders are creative, independent thinkers, not just kids who are slower to develop social skills.
At the heart of Geeks is quirk theory, which "hypothesizes that the very characteristics that exclude the cafeteria fringe in school are the same traits that will make them successful as adults and outside the school setting": creativity/originality, freethinking/vision, resilience, authenticity/self-awareness, integrity/candor, curiosity/love of learning/passion, and courage.
Kids on the "cafeteria fringe" — the ones who can't figure who to sit with at lunch — usually haven't chosen to be friendless. (Robbins' examples do have friends, though not necessarily the ones they want.) In my experience, outsiders aren't necessarily super smart, creative or bold non-conformists. They may be just geeky kids who need a little more time to get it together. Nor is it axiomatic that the socially adept will be as vapid and mean as the popular girls Robbins describes so vividly.
As an amateur anthropologist, my daughter spent middle school studying popularity. She concluded the essential ingredient is confidence. In high school, she wasn't "popular., but had plenty of friends in the good-student set. She had the confidence to act as a social sponsor for new kids. Her specialty was getting a new kid accepted at a compatible lunch table, so they wouldn't be "cafeteria fringe." She did it because she is both socially adept and nice. And a bit of a busybody, perhaps.
Cliques aren't new. What's changed is the ability of teens to use social media to harass, bully and exclude outsiders — or insiders who stray from their clique's rules of behavior. I'd like to learn more about how this works and what might limit the cruelty.

Topic: bignerdranch ruby on rails boot camp?
Hi everyone,
I have been looking at the ruby on rails boot camp and I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with this company, and it is really worth the money (3500 dollars seems a bit high), or if I would be better off buying more ruby books and working on their examples?
this is the info on the course:
Thank you

Nearly three decades of armed conflict has left much of Cambodia with serious hazards from landmines and unexploded ordnance, not only on the land, but also in its waterways. Thirty-five Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) students, most of whom did not know how to swim, volunteered to be among the first Cambodian deminers to learn to dive and to clear these hazards from deep and swift waters.
During the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of tons of grenades, bombs, and other ammunition sunk into the pitch-black waters of Cambodian rivers. They now create a security risk to local communities and slow vital development projects, such as construction of bridges and irrigation systems. With grant funding from the U.S. Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in its Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, the Golden West Humanitarian Foundation conducted the first CMAC-Golden West Diver Preparation Course. After an intensive four-week course, thirteen of the CMAC volunteers were transformed from novice swimmers to capable divers able to operate underwater without the use of their sight and ready to tackle the task of retrieving UXO from the zero-visibility depths of Cambodia's rivers.
Ten of these students graduated with the full rating of Second Class Diver and will form the first CMAC dive unit. These pioneers will continue their training with Golden West and the U.S. Department of Defense Humanitarian Demining Training Center, and undertake advanced salvage exercises. They are the foundation of a key national capacity for ensuring public safety and facilitating development.
After additional training with U.S. Army salvage divers, the CMAC dive unit's first tasks will be to search shallow waterways where locals are likely to look for ordnance. Cambodian civilians have placed themselves in danger to collect ordnance sunk in shallow water, so that they can sell it on the black market. The explosives are in demand for quarrying and dynamite fishing but could also be a source of materiel for terrorist and criminals. With the experience gained in shallow waters, the divers will begin to work in the depths of Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers -- searching for ordnance in the pitch-black waters, unable to see the dangers they face while making Cambodia a safer place.
Under the Conventional Weapons Destruction Program -- a partnership among the State Department, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the United States has invested more than $2 billion in humanitarian mine action and conventional weapons destruction programs in more than 90 countries since 1993. As a result, the United States has helped 15 countries become mine-impact free, disposed of more than 33,000 man-portable air-defense systems, and destroyed over 1.6 million excess, loosely-secured, or otherwise at-risk small arms and light weapons. Additionally, U.S. assistance has funded mine-risk education, survivor's assistance programs, and research and development to produce technologies that mitigate the threat of explosive remnants of war. Through these efforts, the United States is working toward a safer, more secure environment in Cambodia and other countries around the globe.

REPUBLIC, Mich. – Tammy Michelle Fitzpatrick, age 44, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, after an extended illness.

Hi all! I just read a review of our Tea Room, wherein the reviewer accused us of not serving "traditional" tea sandwiches. Here are the sandwiches we offer:
*English Cucumber w/ dill cream cheese & lemon zest
*Curried Egg Salad with parsley
*Poached Chicken Breast mixed with celery, pecans, spices & mayo
*Diced Ham mixed with crushed pineapple, spices & mayo
*Tomato, Basil Pesto & Smoked Provolone on toasted Italian Bread
*English Aged Cheddar finely grated, blended with roasted red pepper & a touch of spice
*Roast Beef Julienne with diced Asparagus & Horseradish mayo
To quote the reviewer, "The sanwiches are not traditional tea sandwiches."
Well, after having been to just about every tea room in both the U.S. of A., as well as several overseas, we'd kinda thought that the above *were* pretty traditional savory tea sandwiches. This is further borne out by visiting several Tea Map tea rooms' websites, who, when they list specifically what kind of sandwiches they serve with Afternoon Tea, have similar if not identical sandwiches.
Which brings me to the Question: What are the "Traditional" Tea Sandwiches? If not the above, then what list would *you* make, allowing for minor creative variations. Generic sandwich types are just fine for the purposes of this impromptu survey...

Usage of The SingleForwardable is like Fowadable module.
Defines a method method which delegates to obj (i.e. it calls the method of the same name in obj). If new_name is provided, it is used as the name for the delegate method.
# File forwardable.rb, line 248 def def_single_delegator(accessor, method, ali = method) line_no = __LINE__; str = %Q{ def #{ali}(*args, &block) begin #{accessor}.__send__(:#{method}, *args, &block) rescue Exception $@.delete_if{|s| %r"#{Regexp.quote(__FILE__)}"o =~ s} unless Forwardable::debug ::Kernel::raise end end } instance_eval(str, __FILE__, __LINE__) end
Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:
def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map def_delegator :@records, :size def_delegator :@records, :<< def_delegator :@records, :map
# File forwardable.rb, line 235 def def_single_delegators(accessor, *methods) methods.delete("__send__") methods.delete("__id__") for method in methods def_single_delegator(accessor, method) end end
Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of symbols. These symbols correspond to method names. The value is the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.

Weibrecht looks for turnaround at worlds
Lake Placid native Andrew Weibrecht is gearing up for the 42nd FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in Schladming, Austria this week.
The competition kicks off today with women's super-G and continues Wednesday with men's super-G. Weibrecht, who took bronze in the super-G at the 2010 Vancouver Games, is expected to race Wednesday and possibly in the downhill race on Saturday.
Whether he enters the downhll competition will be deterined by how his training goes this week, he said.
The Enterprise caught up with Weibrecht by email this past weekend to ask him a few questions about the World Championships.
ADE: How have your experiences skiing at Schladming, Austria been in the past? Is this a mountain that you've had success on? Feel confident on?
AW: I've trained here a couple times this past year, and we raced here for World Cup finals last season. For the finals, I was having some back issues and hadn't skied the two weeks before and didn't finish the super-G, so I have higher hopes for this go around.
ADE: I understand you had been dealing with some illnesses late last year. What were those, and are you fully recovered? If so, when did you start feeling 100 percent again? Do you feel close to breaking through on some of this season's struggles?
AW: I had some sort of virus that really just took me out of the game for really the first half of the season. It actually all started about a week before the first races in Lake Louise, Canada (in late November) and then seemed to go away. But with the travel to Europe and everything, it came back hard and really put me down for quite a while. I think that I actually started feeling better around Christmas. However, the biggest issue since then is all the fitness that I lost from being inactive for so long. This, to me, has been the toughest part. I think that things are starting to come back around, and I feel like my skiing is good enough to do some good stuff. Hopefully, I can log some of the results that I've been missing in the first part of the season.
ADE: On January 25, you posted on Facebook that it was a disappointing day, but that you had some of your best skiing in awhile. Can you expand on that?
AW: That was the Kitzbuhel super-G day (in Austria), and I was very disappointed because I didn't finish the race when I felt like I was having a really solid run up to that point. Looking at the analysis later on, it turned out that I did have three-quarters of a really good run. Although it was good to know that I was skiing fast again, (the) three-quarters (only) got me a pat on the back and an "atta boy."
ADE: In recent races, you've had a number of DNFs. Have you been able to pinpoint the cause of those? Fix the problem?
AW: I think these DNFs are in large part (due) to the training and racing that I missed while I was sick and the fitness that I lost then as well. As with most guys on this level, the margins for error are so small that when some part of the total "system" is out of whack then everything can go south pretty quickly. I've gotten an opportunity to get some good days of training in this past week, so hopefully that will help to fill the gap and I can start firing on all cylinders and with any luck start skiing around all the gates.
ADE: Obviously, there is always a lot of media attention on the Olympics. However in the U.S., the World Championships don't garner as much attention. What do the World Championships mean to you as a ski racer?
AW: Right now, to me, it means a lot. … I'm in reboot mode at the moment and I'm looking to make my mark because of everything that has passed this season. In a more general sense, I think that the world champs are a big deal to everyone. Everyone is gunning and hoping to pull it together for their country. I will say that the Olympics do seem to have a grander vibe than the previous world champs that I've been to, but this is a championship event at one of Austria's favorite venues so I'm sure that it will not be lacking in (excitment).
ADE: Can you describe the atmosphere surrounding World Championships?
AW: I think that this one will be crazy. I've heard rumors that they are expecting (tens of thousands of) spectators per day and there is a stadium that you ski into at the bottom that seats 30,000-plus. It should be fully over the top and an awesome event as a spectator and a racer.
ADE: Several of your teammates, both on the men's and women's side, have had some impressive races this season. As a teammate and "spectator," are there any races that you are looking forward to at World Championships? Any races people should pay special attention to?
AW: I think that they all should be exciting for the U.S. We have really strong teams on both the men's and women's sides, and I think that it should be pretty exciting all around. In particular, I'm psyched to watch the men's GS because after training with Ted (Ligety) earlier this week I was blown away by his skiing, and I think it should be pretty fun to watch him and Marcel Hirscher battle it out.
ADE: What are your goals for the World Championships?
AW: I just want to ski well and consistent throughout the week and see what happens.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) seems to be competing with "Green" on the business magazine covers and newspaper headlines. There are many interpretations of CSR, and the intent behind the actions taken and publicized by the organizations─most often either pro or con.
Opportunities abound for CSR events that are positive for all involved. An important consideration is what events will be selected. Often, employees have a very limited view of what their companies do in the CSR arena. They may be aware, for example, of a United Way campaign or a Wells for Water type fundraiser. Unless employees make the time to look on the company's internal website, they may not really understand the complexity or generosity of the company and the difference it makes around the world — beyond its normal goods and services.
In these tumultuous times, organizations are facing a multitude of challenges, such as keeping the people in the company energized, ambitious, connected to their work, and in a positive mood; in other words, the ideal employee. It is hard to do anything exceptional on top of a lousy mood. The proper choice of CSR events can increase cross-functional networks, decrease communication silos, foster solution-based thinking and raise mood levels, and thus, productivity.
With the challenge (and scrutiny) of being in a "fishbowl" where the decisions of investments and cuts are critical and viewed and felt by many, a one-time tested choice is to allocate funds to the people. This allocation, with a specific ROI in mind, and with a process, tool, and/or service that is highly recommended can be a "brass ring" that is reachable and deemed worthy by all involved.
By investing CSR funds and time in the employees, they will feel included, taken care of, worthwhile and appreciated. They will also learn new skills and/or competencies that are essential to the game of business as their roles evolve. There is a belief that if a company–and the individuals in the company–treat their internal customers as well as their external customers, more often than not everything else will work out, even better than expected at all levels of the business.
Today, more and more companies are turning to a melding of CSR/philanthropy and team building events for their employees. Companies can no longer afford to have team building just for fun or entertainment. Employees will rarely stay on one team. It is imperative that resources spent on building a team will create the capacity for individuals to make powerful choices and blend more easily as they move from team to team.
These hybrid team building events are a fabulous place to bring corporate values and/or targeted points to life. Participants have an opportunity to connect with their co-workers as they participate in altruistic activities (i.e., prosthetic hands for land mine victims, bicycles for less fortunate youth, playhouses for children hospitals, etc.). These programs provide a visceral experience that anchors the learning points with emotion, which lasts longer than a PowerPoint presentation or a team photo. In addition, the employee has a "face" to the people affected by the company's CSR initiatives and/or the benefits of where the company contributes. And perhaps more important, they, too, will feel as if they are being corporate socially responsible with all the pride, gratitude and humility that comes with it.
The cynicism that often goes along with team building events is diminished in these highly developed and relevant training events. The value is discovered at the outset and continues beyond the classroom walls. Those who are cynics have progressed to becoming skeptics; the skeptics to "on the bus"; the others to full-blown players on the team full of ambition. This ambition is fueled by their connection to who they work with; the work they do; and the impact they make internally and externally in this world that needs a little CSR everywhere.
When in a conversation that is aimed at team building, target a program that can provide a wide ROI for the employees, their teams, and the internal and external aspects of the business; offer them the opportunity to put their thumbprint on something that touches near and far. Philanthropic team building is a sure way to hit the CSR mark at many levels.

Please note this item has been replaced by ATS-00256.
So this is what it's supposed to taste like.
Posted by Reviewer1953861 on Jun 03, 2011
I used to purchase Maranatha raw almond butter until I read that they add sugar and blanch their almonds. I have no idea if that's true, but I do know that Artisana raw almond butter tastes less sweet and more like what I would expect truly raw almond butter to taste like. It is really an outstanding product, and the price is right here at iHerb.com. They now have a loyal repeat customer!
Very Good!
Posted by Reviewer1411575 on Jan 05, 2012
This was my first time trying almond butter. I love almonds and peanut butter so I thought I couldn't go wrong with this! First of all, I really liked how this brand offers pure and natural almond butter. When I first tried it I could immediately tell that there were no additional additives (ie: sugar, salt, etc). Its a bit thicker than regular peanut butter, but the taste is very mild and good. I like to add it to my health shakes for the protein, or I spread it on my apples as a healthy snack. It doesn't even need to be refridgerated and a little goes a long way! I would highly recommend this product. iHerb also offers it at a very affordable price. Thank you! enjoy xxx

This has become a staple in my diet. I make delicious almond milk with all kinds of flavour to it. Love it! And so does my stomach...

Raw, Vegan,100% Organic, Product Of USA, Great taste, Full of good nutritions, Reasonable Price, what else would you need to ask for? This is the BEST raw almond butter I've ever tried!
Artisan Almond Butter
Posted by 5141372200488713904 on Feb 14, 2014
Absolutely wonderful stuff. I have tried Raw and Organic Tree of Life products, but this beats it quite handily. The texture is good, not an excessive amount of oil. The taste is INCREDIBLE and it really feels like it's alive. I don't know of a better source for Almond Butter.
Posted by 5440294795155531348 on Feb 17, 2014
Really tasty I just can't stop myself from eating it from the jar !!!
No title
Posted by Reviewer2905303 on Jan 02, 2014
While most other brands of almomd butter use roasted almonds, Artisana offers a semi-liquid made with raw almonds. The word "raw" translates "not modified or chemically broken down by intense heat." Simply stated, "roasted" means nutritionally barren. Thank-you, Artisana, for a delicious snack food (fifth meal) that contributes to our health. We'll be buying more.
All Natural and Delicious

If you like almond butter, this is a great choice. I will keep getting it.
Almond butter
Posted by OssieA on Aug 12, 2013
Scrummy! I have a desert spoon of this a morning. Artisana produces the best products. Try the coconut butter if you like the taste of coconut - it's even more scrummier than the almond butter :)
Posted by 4844540685300453282 on Sep 26, 2013
I recently decided to live healthier, and went vegan, sugarfree and glutenfree all in one go. I've never felt better, but I am a total sweet tooth and decided I needed to master the art of being a chocolatier to make this no sugar thing work. I use this almond butter and sweeten with agave nectar and a few drops of stevia toffee, put into molds, and then cover with my own chocolate that I make with cacao butter, cacao powder, vanilla bean powder and agave nectar. These are by far the best chocolates I have had in my entire life, and there's not one unhealthy ingredient in them! I prefer this almond butter to the creamy one because it just gives my chocolates that great texture. Only negative thing is I run out so quickly with this tiny jar!

With an estimated 196,000 U.S. citizens in the Calgary consular district, many people here get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice -- once in early October when Canadians mark the holiday, and once again on the fourth Thursday of November. While the date may differ on each side of the border, the traditions of this holiday are pretty much the same in both countries. Families gather for a big meal of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie and football season is in full swing. Thanks to satellite and cable TV, American fans here in Canada can get their fill of NFL football on Thanksgiving Day, but they can also take in Canada's biggest football event of the year, the Grey Cup Canadian Football League final, which will be played in Vancouver this weekend.
Here in Calgary, the local chapters of the American Legion and American Chamber of Commerce are co-hosting a Thanksgiving gathering for the first time. Together, these two organizations will serve up a hearty meal with all the trimmings for citizens of both countries at a local branch of the Canadian Legion. The Calgary chapter of the American Legion has been co-located in a Canadian Legion for years, a testament to the close allied relationship our two countries have long enjoyed. While veterans, their friends and families are sitting down to eat, over at the principal officer's residence, Consul General Laura Lochman will be serving a turkey feast to smaller group of Canadian friends, as she does every year, to celebrate common holiday traditions and give thanks for the close bond of friendship the United States and Canada share.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
There is a better explanation for Canadian-Americans having two Thanksgiving holidays:
The turkey symbolizes Canadian taxpayers who allowed their government to become addicted to taxes. Also, Canadians have their freedom of speech determined by their Parliament and their wars chosen for them by our executive branch.
Canada's population is thankful to not work for this system for two whole days.
L. Evens in Canada writes:
Happy thanksgiving America!

Canada-Panama Free Trade Act
Government Orders
10:45 a.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, as with the Canada-Colombia agreement, the Liberals and the Conservatives are refusing to listen to the public. As the member is well aware, only the Bloc Québécois and the NDP were able to address the constant human rights violations in Colombia. The Conservatives, on the other hand, wanted to support the government in Colombia. Panama has some of the worst tax loopholes in the world. Yet the Liberals and the Conservatives want to endorse the actions of a country that is a known tax haven.
Why are the NDP and the Bloc Québécois the only parties that are listening to Canadians? Why do the old parties—the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party—always go along with the lobbyists instead of listening to people who want a fair and equitable tax system and want us to put an end to tax havens instead of helping them grow?
Canada-Panama Free Trade Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, my colleague is absolutely right. He was against the free trade agreement with Barbados for the same reason we are discussing today.
At the time, the most powerful and most significant lobbyist was the Prime Minister of Canada; he had interests in Barbados. I can understand why friends of the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party force the government to sign a free trade with a country, when signing such an agreement legalizes the business they do with that country.
I am very surprised. The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party say we will improve the treaty in committee, but there is nothing to improve. Either we sign a tax information exchange agreement before signing the free trade agreement, or we do not. There is no room for negotiation. That is how it works all over the world. The OECD is asking that exchange agreements on personal information, tax information in particular, be signed.
The Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, on behalf of a few of their supporters who will make money in Panama, a known tax haven, are thumbing their noses at the right approach to politics, an approach the Bloc Québécois has been using since it arrived in the House in 1993 and the approach the NDP seems to be using.
Canada-Panama Free Trade Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, after hearing interventions from the Conservatives and the Liberals around this bill, I am saddened to have to stand in this House, although I have enjoyed hearing the speeches from the Bloc.
As members are well aware, when we talk about Panama we are talking about a country that is tied for the worst money laundering tax haven on the planet. That is according to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. This is the reason the U.S. has not ratified an agreement with Panama, and yet the so-called anti-crime Conservatives are pushing ahead with this deal with a drug gang, drug money, money laundering, tax haven country.
The Conservatives are bringing it to the House of Commons with the explanation that the reason there is not one word in this agreement that in any way would close off the money laundering, close off the drug money, is that they sent a letter to the Panamanian government. They did not say how, whether it was sent by snail mail or by email. That somehow resolves the money laundering issues that made the U.S. Congress say no to this deal, say it is not going to pass this deal, and which are the reason the U.S.-Panama agreement has not been ratified.
For the Conservative government to pretend it is somehow anti-crime is a real crock when put in the context of presenting this bill, because this bill does not deal in any way with money laundering or drug money and does not in any way close those loopholes. The bill in fact widens them. Hells Angels across the country are rejoicing. The Conservatives have done something incredibly stupid and appallingly irresponsible, but they expect members of Parliament to ratify it.
In a normal functional Parliament, all three opposition parties would say, no, this is irresponsible and they are not going to ratify this deal. Sadly, the Liberal Party is once again endorsing Conservative action. We have seen this before. We saw this with the softwood lumber sell-out, which cost tens of thousands of jobs across this country and crippled many of our softwood lumber communities, and yet the Liberals just rubber-stamped it.
We saw this with the shipbuilding sellout. We had in this House hundreds of shipyard workers from across the country pleading with us that members of Parliament should put in place protections for this key strategic industry, our shipbuilding industry. The Liberals endorsed the Conservative action. That was irresponsible.
We have already cited the Colombia trade deal, a massive sell-out of human rights, a complete repudiation of Canada's principle, a principle and a value that the vast majority of Canadians share, that we do not reward regimes for killing trade unionists and human rights activists in their countries. Yet the Conservatives and the Liberals endorsed that government and the actions of its intelligence service and paramilitary and military groups and the ongoing killings of human rights advocates and trade unionists in Colombia.
Now this bill has been brought forward, which implicitly endorses the idea that Panama can be a tax haven for dirty drug money laundering.
When the IRS says Panama is tied for worst in the world, one would expect the Canadian government to be a bit more responsible. The Conservatives have not been responsible. They have not dealt with it in any way, and that is why the NDP is standing up in the House and saying this is irresponsible.
Canadians are calling out for a fairer tax system, calling out for an end to the shell game where big Canadian corporations and the wealthy can transfer their money overseas and not have to pay taxes on it, while the hard-working middle class and poor Canadians have to work and pay their taxes. They contribute to their country. Here we have the Conservatives, with Liberal support, saying they will facilitate money laundering, facilitate tax havens and let people move money to Panama and not have to pay taxes on it. That is absolutely irresponsible. It is the only word one can use to describe it.
Then we have to think that because the Conservatives have taken this irresponsible action that there must be some merit to it and maybe it is because they have some strategy around trade. Sadly, not even that is the case.
When we look at all the bilateral agreements Canada has signed, such as those with Israel and Chile, the famous shipbuilding sellout, the EFTA deal, the one with Costa Rica, when we look at all those FTAs, in case after case after case we sign the FTAs and exports to those markets from Canada drop. That is the absurdity to all of this. We have a lot of free trade cheerleaders but not a lot of them are doing their homework. They are actually not looking at the export statistics.
The government will say it is going to throw out some figures that are in constant dollars and say that shows a growth in trade. However, yesterday the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, a man who I admire, actually was able to say that we have to take real terms to talk about the cost of the Canadian deficit and debt. He actually talked about that. There is one financially literate member among the Conservatives.
Here we have a situation where not a single Conservative, in real terms, has looked at the export figures that have actually declined. I compliment the parliamentary secretary because he understands the difference between current dollars and constant dollars. Nobody else on that side appears to know the difference. People who know the difference know that our exports have declined in every single bilateral market. Therefore, there is a fundamental problem.
Now, Conservatives will say that maybe exports have declined in real terms, maybe we do not know what we are doing with money laundering, but surely this contributes to prosperity. Again, we have to look in real terms and talk about constant dollars to get the most recent figures about what has happened to family income in Canada. If we go back to the NAFTA days and the signing of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, sadly, we will see that for middle class and poorer Canadians, in every single case there has been a decline in real income.
We sign these bad trade agreements, transfer out Canadian raw resources and have them processed and value-added overseas. We outsource the jobs that were in Canada before, take the good family-sustaining jobs and replace them with service industry jobs that are lower paying. We have more burger flippers than we have ever had before in this country, but we have lost half a million good manufacturing jobs largely because many of these trade agreements are structured so that Canadian companies can take their factories and manufacturing capacity overseas.
When we look at the overall income of the average Canadian family, it is no secret why the debt load of the average Canadian family has doubled over the past 20 years. It is because real income has declined for every single income category except one, and that is the real reason why we are seeing this dirty drug money laundering bill today. The wealthiest of Canadians now take 52% of all Canadian income, most of the Canadian income pie, and those are the folks who would love to take their money to Panama and not have to pay taxes on it. We are seeing a hollowing out and a very bad, dysfunctional export strategy.
In this corner of the House we are standing up for the average Canadian family and saying that, if the government has such dysfunctional trade and export strategies, it is up to us in this NDP corner of the House to say no to bad trade deals and no to deals that are irresponsible. That is what we are doing.

Patro de Charlesbourg Multisport Stadium
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, in September, I had the pleasure of participating in the inauguration of the Gérard-Chiquette multisport stadium at the Patro de Charlesbourg, in my riding. The new artificial turf field makes playing sports like soccer, football and rugby safer and more fun. The project also involves the construction of two buildings, the conversion of the running track into a paved pedestrian trail, the acquisition of a new lighting system, and the addition of a scoreboard.
The Government of Canada is proud of having invested in this project—which cost just over $3 million—along with the Government of Quebec, the Patro de Charlesbourg and its partners. Our financial contribution of $1 million to the Patro de Charlesbourg, a facility created by the Order of Saint Vincent de Paul, was made possible through the recreational infrastructure Canada program.
The quality of life and the health of the people of Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles are important to us, and that is why we are proud to have invested in infrastructure to help them prosper.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Gerard Kennedy Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to officially welcome His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who is arriving in Toronto today for a three-day visit. Thousands of Canadians will gather in the Rogers Centre today to hear his inspiring message of peace, compassion and hope.
Tomorrow the Dalai Lama will attend a community ceremony at the Tibetan Canadian Cultural Centre to visit with members of the strong local Tibetan-Canadian community as well as members of the Parliamentary Friends of Tibet.
Tibetan-Canadians have sacrificed much to make this centre available for the wider communities, a facility for peaceful dialogue between cultures. While the centre did receive federal funding towards its renovation, I invite Canadians to provide a truly Canadian welcome to the Dalai Lama by donating some of the matching funds it must have to be completed.
The other way to commemorate the visit, of course, is to ensure that Canada remains vigilant and consistent in its support of international human rights at all times.
I invite hon. members to join me in extending an official welcome to honorary Canadian citizen, the Dalai Lama.
Ninon Delude
Statements by Members

Roger Pomerleau Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, Ninon Delude, a farmer from my riding who lives in Saint-Germain-de-Grantham, has seen her passion for agriculture rewarded twofold. During the annual general meeting of the Syndicat des agricultrices du Centre-du-Québec, which took place in Saint-Wenceslas on September 22, this mother of 12 was named female farmer of the year. In addition, during the Saturn gala held in Drummondville on October 17 by the Fédération des agricultrices du Québec, Ms. Delude was named passionate female farmer of the year.
She and her husband, Pierre Labonté, who specialize in raising grain-fed calves and growing organic crops, have had their work recognized many times over the years. At the Bal des moissons in 2008, they won an environmental farm trophy and they were finalists in the category recognizing good agricultural practices. Congratulations Ms. Delude!
Brian Dyck
Statements by Members
October 22nd, 2010 / 11 a.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour the life of Brian Dyck.
Brian was a genuine hero who served his community as a police officer and his country as a member of the Canadian military. Brian died on October 8 from ALS.
The last time I saw Brian was last spring when members of this House participated in a charity hockey game with the Ottawa police to raise awareness and money for the ALS Society of Canada. At the time, we were all moved by Brian's determination not only to fight this disease but also to make a difference.
Brian knew he would eventually succumb to his disease, but he fought to ensure that members of the Canadian military who suffer from ALS would have the support they and their families need. He continued his fight even when the disease was consuming him, and he won.
To his wife, Natali, and two-year-old daughter, Sophi, we send our condolences and prayers.
To quote Natali, "We are very proud of what we have accomplished for our family and all vets and military members in the future".
I thank Natali, and I thank Brian.
Member for Prince George—Peace River
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Scott Reid Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, about two weeks ago, the four House leaders paid tribute to the member for Prince George—Peace River. As today is his last day in the House, I thought I might say a few additional words in his honour.
I have had the privilege of serving directly under him for the past two years, but my acquaintance with him goes back to 1993.
The first Reform MPs came to Ottawa with the most honourable goals of public service, but they were greeted by a press corps determined to defend the status quo at all costs. Their inexperience was skewed as incompetence and their idealism as bigotry. The test of character for the Reformers in the class of 1993 was to respond with restraint but also with a determination to carry on. Not everyone passed this test, but the member for Prince George—Peace River did.
I witnessed all this as a caucus staffer and my admiration for him grew as I saw him mentor new cohorts of MPs. His service as government House leader over the past two years shows him to be as adept at tight-rope walking or juggling as anyone has ever been. I am not sure which circus metaphor best applies.
As a man of principle and as a skilled political actor, the member for Prince George—Peace River has few equals and no superiors. I will miss him.
Statements by Members

Borys Wrzesnewskyj Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, two years ago a promising grade 12 student and constituent, Boris Cikovic, was gunned down by teen thugs trying to rob him. His accused killer is out on bail enjoying life and allegedly refusing to assist police in identifying his accomplices.
It is impossible to imagine the despair and sorrow felt by Boris' parents, Vesna and Davorin. As Vesna explained to the Toronto Sun:
I have no chance to see him growing up to [become] a beautiful man. Justice is not going to give me grandchildren....
And the other guy, he is out, he is free on bail.
In memory of Boris and in the hopes of stopping this from happening in the future, I introduced Bill C-537 to toughen bail conditions and adding offences involving firearms to those that may only be tried by a superior court.
By passing this bill, those accused of a firearm offence would have to demonstrate to the court why they should not be detained in custody before trial.
As Boris' mother, Vesna, says:
[S]omething has to be changed. My son's life shouldn't be in vain
Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, yesterday I had the great pleasure of delivering to this House four boxes of Nova Scotia Honeycrisp apples.
These apples were supplied by the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association, which has been promoting Nova Scotia fruit since 1863. From its beginning, the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association has ensured the advancement of agriculture in our area. The association was a leader in establishing the Wolfville School of Horticulture in 1894, and the Kentville Experimental Farm in 1910.
Nova Scotia apples have been displayed by the association at many world exhibitions and were praised and rewarded for their fine quality.
Presently the association continues to play an important role in the lives of Nova Scotia apple growers and the apple industry. Today the association's goal is to create an economically viable and sustainable Nova Scotia tree fruit industry.
I, and I am sure all members of this House, thank the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association first, for the great work it continues to do, and second, for its absolutely delicious Honeycrisp apples.
The LEED Rating System

Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, construction of the Tour St-Martin in my riding is slated to begin next spring. This 11,985 square-metre, eight-storey building will be the first LEED-certified office building in Laval.
The LEED, leadership in energy and environmental design, rating system is based on "five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality."
In the Tour St-Martin, amenities such as showers will be installed so that walkers and cyclists can get their day off to a good start. In addition, "the building will be equipped with geothermal technology and devices for water and air energy recovery."
The contractors involved in this project will be working towards LEED silver certification. My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I wish them well in this endeavour.
Human Smuggling
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, on Monday in Vienna, I delivered a speech at the 10th United Nations conference against transnational organized crime. I had the opportunity to reaffirm the government's commitment to combatting human smuggling.
This goes hand in hand with the bill introduced by the member for Kildonan—St. Paul, which has been given royal assent. The member has worked relentlessly on this issue.
As well, yesterday our government introduced a bill that targets those who prey and abuse our immigration system through illegal human smuggling activities.
Let me be very clear: legal migration enriches us all. Canada is determined to maintain trust in its regular immigration and refugee systems, ensuring they work effectively and fairly for everyone. Their manipulation by criminal networks will not be tolerated.
Our government will continue its fight against human smuggling and protect the integrity of our immigration system.
Monument to the Fallen Soldier
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Bonnie Crombie Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, I was honoured to join the Canadian Museum of Hindu Civilization for the unveiling of its memorial monument to the fallen soldier.
Donated by the families of Shylee and Ajit Someshwar, Christine and Bhupinder Khalsa, and Jaya and Vasu Chanchlani, the monument is designed to show the heroism of Canadian soldiers, particularly those who lost their lives in Afghanistan.
This stunning and humbling monument, shaped as a maple leaf, is carved in black granite and imperial red granite, sourced from India. Standing tall next to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, the monument is dedicated to the Canadian armed forces for their exemplary service as peacekeepers all over the world.
Ms. Shylee Someshwar summed it up best when she said:
The Indo-Canadian community's involvement speaks of its dedication to the causes Canada supports. It's our humble way of saying - we care, we belong and we truly appreciate.
I highly recommend that all residents of the GTA and visitors passing through take time to visit this important monument.
Human Smuggling
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, human smuggling is a criminal enterprise that happens around the world. Smugglers are paid to help people enter Canada illegally. This practice is fundamentally unfair to legitimate refugees who are patiently waiting to begin new lives here in Canada.
Yesterday the Minister of Public Safety and the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism announced legislation to crack down on criminals aiming to profit from Canada's generosity. Human smuggling is a serious criminal offence that puts human lives at risk and benefits only criminal organizations.
With this bill, our government is sending a clear message: we will not tolerate the abuse of our immigration system by human smugglers and we will do everything we can to keep Canadians safe and secure.
Canada will remain compassionate towards immigrants. We have a proud tradition of welcoming refugees, but we must protect our borders, which is exactly what this bill will do.

Topic: Single Quote Escaping
Hi everyone!
I have a ruby-on-rails application that stores a list of strings. Some strings include a single quote, e.g. the word "don't". Because I have many such words, I use the rails console for adding new items. Storing them in the database is fine -- here I just escape the single quote
w.word = 'don\'t'
But now when I try to find this word again, I get problems
w.find(:all, :conditions=>["word='don\'t'"])
This no longer works. I get a syntax error. I also tried with three \ but this also yields a syntax error. What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help !!

Be on the lookout for a band stand
Someone stole the 6-foot podium from South's practice field — twice
Thieves struck a sour note with the South High School marching band when they recently stole a marching band platform from the school's practice field.
Band teacher Garren Cuthrell said the $3,000 platform was taken out of storage last week and put on the practice field west of the school as the band began its annual camp in preparation for the upcoming school year.
The 6-foot tall aluminum podium has stairs on either side and is used by the drum major to direct the marching band on the field.
"We set it up last week like we always do on the practice field and the next day it was gone," said Cuthrell.
He said students searched the area looking for the critical piece of equipment and found it propped up next to a tree on school property along Northern Avenue.
"We hauled it back to the field and went out and bought a cable tie and chained it to a fence," Cuthrell said.
But the persistent thieves struck again overnight Sunday.
"It was there Sunday when we were out painting the field, but Monday morning, it was gone," Cuthrell said. "Someone took bolt cutters and cut the cable and rolled it right off the field."
Cuthrell said a police report was filed, but so far, the platform has not been located.
"It's really frustrating because we need it for practice," said Cuthrell. "We can't rehearse unless the kids can see someone to follow. We are in need of something yesterday."
Cuthrell said the marching band's first field performance is the Colts' home opening football game on Aug. 29.
The band, which is becoming a contender at the state level, begins marching band competitions in September.
"It may not seem like it, but that platform really is a crucial piece of equipment," Cuthrell said. "We take it with us everywhere we go. Without it, it's going to be tough but right now there's not much we can do."
Cuthrell is pleading for the return of the platform, which was purchased eight years ago with student band dues.
"We do have a couple of fundraisers coming up, but we already had plans for that money," he said. "We don't have another $2,000 to $3,000 to buy another platform right now. This is a tough way to start out the new school year."

Great Healthy Tasty Snack! Gluten Free too! Price o.k. too
Posted by BeckySue on Mar 12, 2015
As soon as I started to open the package my nose was tantalized by the fresh mango scent. These are chewy, but definitely not tough. The taste is fantastic. Really fantastic mango flavor. I like the fact that all there is in the product is fresh organic mangos. There isn't any sugar, which definitely isn't needed. They are sweet enough on their own. You can feel good about eating this healthy snack since it is 100% organic and has no added sugar, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. I like these better than fresh mangoes. Also these are gluten free which is very important to me.

Huntington Bank to close lobby
MARTINS FERRY – Some residents and business owners in Martins Ferry were not to thrilled to learn the news that the branch of Huntington Bank on 22 S. Fourth St. in town will be closing its lobby effective March 29.
The accounts will be moved to the Bridgeport location at 325 Main St.
According to Huntington representatives, the accounts will transfer automatically at the close of the business may on March 29.
Customers with safe deposit boxes will be receiving a letter in the mail with more detailed information.
According to Bill Ehler, Vice President of Regional Public Relations with Huntington Bank, a major part of the reason for the move was because of numbers.
"Like any strong retailer, from time to time, Huntington makes changes in its branch network," Ehler said via phone interview. "Sometimes we consolidate. Sometimes we expand.
"The decision to leave the drive-thru open was partly based on branch transaction volume and customer traffic. Those helped make the decision."
Ehler noted another major factor in the decision is that there are three additional Huntington Bank branches within a relatively short driving distance from Martins Ferry.
There are branches both in Bridgeport and Tiltonsville, along with one across the river in the Woodsdale section of Wheeling.
Ehler did note that a few years back, Huntington brought back service at its Tiltonsville branch because of customer demand and need.
The drive-thru in Martins Ferry will be open six days a week: Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.; Fridays from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.
John Durant, Senior Vice President and Retail Area Manager for Huntington reminded Huntington Bank customers that uninterrupted service will be provided at all Huntington ATM and branch locations.
In addition, he added that Huntington Mobile Banking apps are available for the iPhone, iPad and on the Android platform.
Anyone with questions is asked to contact the Ferry branch manager at (74) 633-1888.
Hughes may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
