575 Castro St.
Shot on the set of Focus Features MILK, director Jenni Olson effectively employs archival recordings of Harvey Milk describing the events he would like to take place in the event of his assassination.
Director's Note
The San Francisco Gay Film Festival came into existence in February 1977 when a self-described "ragtag bunch of hippie fag" filmmakers got together and projected their Super8 short films on a bed sheet at San Francisco's old Gay Community Center. For its first few years the festival showcased the modest Super8 imaginings of such prolific but obscure gay filmmakers as David Waggoner, Ric Mears and Wayne Smolen, as well as festival founders Marc Huestis and Dan Nicolletta.
Many of these films explored gay themes, but a good percentage of the work (like many other experimental films of the era) focused on simple light and motion studies.
The visuals of 575 Castro St. (the play of light and shadow upon the walls of the Castro Camera set for Gus Van Sant's Milk) hearken back to those gay short films of the '70s: The films that passed through Harvey Milk's hands to be processed and developed. The films that inaugurated an event that would grow to become not just the largest LGBT film festival on the planet, but a media arts non-profit dedicated to serving filmmakers and audiences in myriad ways.
One of the first films I got to see when I attended my first Frameline festival in 1989 (looking for films to curate for my queer film series in Minneapolis) was Warren Sonbert's Friendly Witness. That same year I also got to see my first queer experimental works by filmmakers like Su Friedrich, Abigail Child, Barbara Hammer and Ulrike Ottinger.
These are the cinematic visions that have shaped and sparked my own vision — first as a curator, and then as a filmmaker myself. It is fitting that the style of 575 Castro St. should match the style of the pioneering gay films that Harvey Milk helped to develop (in all the meanings of that word).
For me, the joy of my films is found in the poetry of the static image —in the experience of time passing on film, undistracted by plot, actors, dialogue and other narrative conventions. An internal drama is evoked in the sensitivities of each viewer who is open to the subtleties of these mundane shots that are almost bereft of movement and sound. So quiet, so still. All the better to showcase the range of emotions evoked by Harvey Milk's words.
The audio track is an edited down version of the 13-minute audio-cassette that Harvey Milk recorded in his camera shop on the evening of Friday, November 18, 1977 (a few weeks after his election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors which made him the first openly gay elected official in America). Labeled simply: "In-Case" the tape was to be played, "in the event of my death by assassination."
A note about the sound quality
In our final sound mix (on June 20th, the day after Opening Night of the 2008 San Francisco LGBT Film Festival) my sound guru Jim Lively diligently removed as many of the clicks and squeaks and scratches as he could from Harvey's tape. The man was an inspiring orator, but he really didn't seem to know the first thing about how to hold a microphone. Just as well – I think the noises provide a vivid sense of Harvey's physical presence in that room. There is even one point during the desk shot where we hear the creaking of his chair (like he is pushing his chair back from behind the desk).
Jenni Olson is director of e-commerce at WolfeVideo.com andis one of the world's leading experts on LGBT cinema history. Her debut feature film, The Joy of Life world premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film. Jenni established the queer movie database, PopcornQ (at PlanetOut.com) and launched the first showcase for LGBT streaming media in 1995, the PlanetOut Online Cinema as well as founding the PlanetOut Short Movie Awards in 2000. As a film collector and archivist Jenni's historical movie trailer programs (including the ever-popular: Homo Promo) have been shown at film festivals around the world. Jenni has written extensively about LGBT film since. Her coffee table tome, The Queer Movie Poster Book, was a 2005 Lambda Literary Award nominee. Jenni serves as an advisor to many filmmakers on a variety of projects, and on the advisory board of Outfest's Legacy Project for LGBT film preservation. She is currently in development on a new feature, Get Me Guinevere Turner.

The BOSU improves balance, tightens the core and sculpts sexy muscles.
You know that strange blue contraption lurking in the corner of your gym, the one that sort of resembles a stability ball cut in half? Well, it�s called a BOSU� Balance Trainer, and it happens to be one of the most powerful, versatile fitness products on the market. If you haven�t already, now is the time to make friends with the underrated but uber-effective BOSU�. The secret to the contraption lies in its dual-sided design. With an inflated squishy half-dome on one side and a solid black platform on the other, the BOSU� (which is an acronym for �Both Sides Utilized�) provides an unstable surface on which to train. Imagine running on a beach�the soft, uneven sand activates different leg muscles than running on stable pavement (read: aching calves the next day). Similarly, training on a BOSU� forces every single muscle to work hard to stabilize the body. The end result: a shredded core, better balance and a rockin� physique. Sound enticing? We thought so. RELATED: The Best Core Exercises for Runners In their new book Weights on the BOSU� Balance Trainer: Strengthen and Tone All Your Muscles with Unstable Workouts, trainers Brett Stewart and Jason Warner lay out a comprehensive, day-by-day workout program centered around the BOSU. Just in time for summer, we�ve handpicked seven basic BOSU moves that can be incorporated into any workout routine. Go ahead, flaunt that bikini! 1) BOSU� Push-up Works chest, shoulders, arms, back, core Get on your hands and knees and position your hands on either side of the circle at the center of the ball, arms fully extended. Find a placement that feels comfortable�not too wide, not too narrow. Lift your knees off the floor, tightening your core to support your whole body. (Stay on your knees if this is too challenging.) Bend both elbows and lower your body until your chest touches the dome. Pause. Push yourself back to starting position. Do 3 sets of 5 reps. 2) BOSU� Dumbbell Chest Press Works chest, arms, shoulders Lie with your upper back supported on the circle at the center of the ball, knees bent and feet firmly planted on the floor slightly wider than your shoulders. Grasp a dumbbell with each hand and curl the weights into position at chest level, with your thumbs parallel with your chest. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes together and press your hips toward the ceiling to form a bridge position, with your torso parallel to the floor and flat from chest to knees. Pushing from your chest, slowly extend your arms fully to raise the weights up toward the ceiling. Pause. Slowly lower the weights to starting position. Do 3 sets of 8 reps. 3) BOSU� Triceps Extension Works triceps, forearms, core Stand with both feet on the dome, arms grasping dumbbells over and behind your head, and elbows raised into a position nearly in line with your ears and bent about 90 degrees. Press the weights forward and upward toward the ceiling by extending your elbows. Pause. Return to starting position. Do 3 sets of 6. 4) BOSU� Lunge with Dumbbell Works quads, hamstrings, glutes With the BOSU Balance Trainer approximately half a stride�s length in front of you, stand upright with a dumbbell in each hand, arms fully extended at your sides. Place your right toes directly in the middle of the bull�s-eye with your right knee bent slightly. Support your weight on your left leg, with most of it through your heel, not your toes. Bend your right leg and begin to lower your left knee to the ground and pause. Push through your right heel and return to starting position. Switch sides. Do 3 sets of 6 reps on each leg. 5) BOSU� Plank Works abs, lower back, glutes, hips, obliques Get on your knees and put your hands on the dome under your chest on both sides of the circle in the center of theball. Lift your knees off the floor. Only your toes and hands should be supporting your full weight. Engage your core, keeping a straight line from your heels to head. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times. 6) BOSU� Mason Twist Works core Sit comfortably in the middle of the dome and either hold a weight with both hands or clasp your hands together. Using your core, lift your legs off the ground, knees bent slightly. Keep your heels approximately 3�6 inches off the ground for the duration. Twist your torso to one side, bringing your hands (and the weight) with your torso. Smoothly twist your torso through the center and to the other side, bringing your hands (and the weight) with you. Do 3 sets of 8 reps. � 7) BOSU� Hip Raise/Glute Bridge Works hips, glutes, hamstrings, core, lower back Lie on the ground with your feet on the circle at the center of the ball and your knees bent. Balance a weight on your hips, keeping it in place with your hands. Engage your core, and squeeze your glutes together. Pushing through your heels, raise your hips upward until fully extended. Your body should form a straight line from sternum to knees; your upper back, head and shoulders should remain on the ground with your arms and hands. Pause. Return to starting position. Do 3 sets of 12 reps. Brought to you by: Spry

Persons with Disabilities
Statements By Members

Andy Savoy Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, in today's integrated education system, children with disabilities are usually able to achieve the same academic successes as other children. In years gone by, this was not so.
For that reason, Donna Giberson, legally blind and suffering from epilepsy and physical disabilities, struggled with her studies and eventually quit school in the seventh grade.
Now, at the age of 62, Ms. Giberson has re-entered the seventh grade in hopes of obtaining her high school diploma.
Ms. Giberson lives in Lakeville, New Brunswick, and studies by correspondence. She spends eight hours a day, six days a week, studying with the aid of a high resolution magnifying glass.
Her hard work is paying off. She recently achieved marks of 100% on two tests and she will finish the seventh grade in the very near future. From there, it is on to the eighth grade and so on, until she receives her high school diploma.
Donna Giberson's story is an inspiration to all those who believe that learning is a lifelong experience. She has made her church, her community and her member of Parliament very proud.
National Parks

Rob Merrifield Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, our national parks, including Jasper National Park in my riding, are being neglected by the government. Infrastructure is crumbling and maintenance is suffering. Park employees are doing their very best with the little they have but the problems are only mounting.
All we have heard about parks from the government is that it wants more of them, but it is failing to care for the ones it has. More money is needed in the upcoming budget to maintain and improve the parks' crumbling infrastructure.
One question should be asked: Why is Parks Canada's budget being used to maintain interprovincial truck routes, like the Yellowhead Highway? If the federal government expects Parks Canada to continue to maintain the Yellowhead Highway out of its operating budget, it should increase Parks Canada's budget accordingly.
Jasper Park is a jewel of the Rockies and a national treasure. Let us keep it that way.
Kroeger College Award

Derek Lee Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, today at Carleton University, Mr. Gerald Vandezande of Toronto will be awarded the Kroeger College Award for Ethics in Public Affairs.
This award is given to an individual or organization that has provided an inspiring example of the importance of ethics and values in public life, and Gerald Vandezande is truly a well deserving recipient.
Named to the Order of Canada in 2001, Mr. Vandezande served for 35 years as executive director and national public affairs director for Citizens for Public Justice, an organization he helped found.
Since his retirement in 1998, Mr. Vandezande has continued to volunteer his time as spokesperson with the Campaign Against Child Poverty and the Interfaith Social Assistance Reform Coalition.
On behalf of my constituents in Scarborough where he resides, I congratulate Mr. Vandezande for this recognition of his lifelong commitment to helping those less fortunate in our society.
Pierre-Nicolas Tanguay-Lévesque

Jean-Yves Roy Matapédia—Matane, QC
Mr. Speaker, Pierre-Nicolas Tanguay-Lévesque, a young 14-year-old downhill skier from Saint-Anne-des-Monts, recently won the prestigious Taschereau Cup giant slalom ski race at Mt. Tremblant.
Pierre-Nicholas stood out in a field of some 160 elite skiers aged 13 and 14 from Quebec and Ontario clubs. This competition is the first step toward the top level of alpine skiing. Usually, the competitors who end up at the World Cup first ski the Taschereau Cup.
It is Pierre-Nicolas Tanguay-Lévesque's dream to take part in the 2010 Olympics. He intends to do whatever he has to do to get there. The determination of people from our region to face the greatest challenges is one of the qualities that defines us.
My sincerest congratulations, once again, to Pierre-Nicholas, from Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. He truly deserves this honour.
Songwriters Hall of Fame

Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, last night I attended the second annual Songwriters Hall of Fame gala in Toronto, at which seven songwriters and twenty-two remarkable songs were inducted.
In addition, I had the opportunity to take part in the induction of our national anthem, O Canada , into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In 1980, O Canada was officially proclaimed our national anthem, but even then it is a song with a history. It had been composed 100 years earlier, in 1880, by Calixa Lavallée, with lyrics by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song caught on, gained popularity and several English versions were produced.
In 1908, Robert Stanley Weir wrote the version on which today's anthem is based. The stirring melody and patriotic lyrics in both official languages still resound with all Canadians who, "with glowing hearts...stand on guard" for this great country.
I want to commend the Songwriters Hall of Fame for its recognition of our national anthem, O Canada .
Blind Curling Bonspiel

Werner Schmidt Kelowna, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Blind Curling Bonspiel, an event that is being held this week at the Ottawa Curling Club, has brought together some of Canada's finest curlers from the west coast to the east.
The exciting tournament launches White Cane Week 2005, hosted by the Canadian Council of the Blind to raise awareness for the blind and visually impaired in Canada. The bonspiel is a testament to determination and self-sufficiency, proving that blind and visually impaired Canadians are equally active in their communities, equipped with many abilities, not disabilities.
I wish all the curlers, in particular the team from my constituency of Kelowna, a great week of competition and thank them for their efforts in raising awareness of the challenges facing the blind and visually impaired. What they may lack in sight, they do not lack in vision.

Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, over the past few months, this government has worked with provincial and territorial partners on the Canadian Healthy Living Strategy encouraging Canadians to eat a balanced diet and be more active.
I am pleased to highlight the initiative announced today by the Canadian restaurant industry. In fact, the major restaurant chains have made a voluntary commitment to apply the industry guidelines aimed at making nutritional information available to their clients.
The program will begin with 23 restaurant chains representing nearly 9,000 establishments throughout the country. And this is just a start. Other companies will be joining this initiative in the months that lie ahead.
By year's end, these restaurants will be providing brochures detailing the nutritional information on the main items on their menus.
The information will be provided in the same format as for food products sold in stores.
Some restaurants have already been providing nutritional information for years but now this information will be more accessible and consistent for clients.
I would like to congratulate the restaurant industry for this excellent initiative.
Saint-Hubert Pee-wee Hockey Tournament

Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, February 6, the 25th Saint-Hubert provincial pee-wee hockey tournament got underway. By the time the final game is played on February 20th, more than 800 players on 52 teams from all over Quebec will have faced each other on the rinks of Saint-Hubert.
The theme of the tournament is winning fair and square. Over the next few weeks the tournament will welcome many sports and media personalities. In addition to supporting the development of minor hockey in Saint-Hubert, the various tournament activities will also be raising money for cystic fibrosis.
Credit for many successful years of this event goes to the organizing committee and the 250 volunteers who contribute to making this a memorable experience for these young athletes.
The Bloc Québécois wants to pay special tribute to the exceptional work of the 13th president, Mario Beaudoin.
Tsunami Relief

Eleni Bakopanos Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, on December 26, we witnessed the destruction caused by the tsunami and the despair it left in its wake in South Asia.
Once again, Canadians from coast to coast showed their compassion and readiness to help those who lost everything.
That is why I rise here today, to pay homage to two of my constituents for their exceptionally hard work to help their fellow Sri Lankans. It is Mrs. Malarvilyhi and Mr. Ratnasamy Thevasigamany, as well as two leading members of the Sri Lankan community in Montreal, Ramani and Perry Balendra.
On my behalf and on behalf of all the members, I want to thank them. I also want to thank them for their input and comments which helped us to understand the pressing needs in the affected areas.
I want to add also that we were deeply moved by this tragedy. Once again Canada has demonstrated that its humanitarian reputation is well deserved.
Bruce--Grey--Owen Sound

Larry Miller Grey—Bruce—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week Sean Edward Sprague, a 15 year old young man from Meaford, Ontario, received the Governor General's Medal of Bravery.
Sean helped rescue a teenager trapped under a wall that had collapsed in a house by digging the rubble with his bare hands for 40 minutes. I would like to commend Sean for his selfless act while putting himself in danger. Sean is a fine example of the youth of the country and the leadership of the future.
I would also like to pay tribute to the city of Owen Sound and the Owen Sound Police Services for securing the bid to host the 2007 Ontario Special Olympics Provincial Winter Games. More than 450 people will come to Owen Sound to compete in six sporting events from February 1 to February 4, 2007.
This is the first time a provincial games has been awarded to a community in the Bruce-Grey area and the first time a community the size of Owen Sound has been awarded the Ontario provincial games.
On behalf of my constituents, I would like to congratulate everyone involved in bringing the Ontario Special Olympic Winter Games to our community.
Ottawa Citizen
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Don Boudria Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, all of us in public office have a responsibility in what we do and say, not to use language that is hurtful or which can cause social unrest. The same applies to the media.
On January 13, the Ottawa Citizen headlined the following, "Clarence-Rockland hires language police". It was false. The city in question was merely passing a bylaw about commercial signage.
The following day the same newspaper headline was, "French revolution", an equally irresponsible message. Since then there have been bomb threats at city hall and at the day care centre in the municipality, police protection for municipal elected officials and hate messages to all of us in public office in the region.
I call upon the once proud Ottawa Citizen , on this its 150th anniversary, to issue a public front page apology to my constituents, and to its readers generally. Nothing less is acceptable.
Pay Equity
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, on February 14, the Pay Equity Network, a group of national, provincial and local women's equality-seeking organizations, will launch a campaign, calling on the Liberals to introduce federal pay equity legislation.
The Pay Equity Network was established because of the government's inaction when it comes to ending the salary discrimination faced by women in the country.
The work has already been done. In May 2004 the federal pay equity report was issued. It concluded that pay equity was a fundamental right. Yet Canadian women are still waiting. The time has come for the government to take action and implement its own report.
The Pay Equity Network has requested meetings with the Ministers of Labour, Justice, the Minister responsible for Status of Women and the Prime Minister to present a call for action which has been endorsed by over 150 organizations across the country. I encourage the ministers and the Prime Minister to take time and meet with them.
The message to the Liberals is clear: this Valentine's Day, show her that they really care; give her equal pay.
Val O'Donovan and Klaus Woerner
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Gary Goodyear Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to two outstanding community leaders from my riding of Cambridge and the region of Waterloo who sadly passed away this week.
Val O'Donovan was the founder of Com Dev, a company based in Cambridge, and the largest Canadian-based designer and manufacturer of space hardware subsystems.
Klaus Woerner, a personal friend, was the founder, president and CEO of ATS tooling of Cambridge. Klaus was a supporter of the arts and our education systems and an innovator in both tooling and solar power.
Both gentlemen immigrated to Canada with humble beginnings. They truly represented the epitome of the Canadian dream.
The world has lost two innovative business leaders. The country has lost two adventurous entrepreneurs. Our community has lost two generous philanthropists. And I have lost a friend.
I know the House will join me in my sincere condolences to their families.

Bernard Bigras Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, we were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Monique Fitz-Back.
Trained as a teacher, she had worked as a co-operant in Africa and was long involved in the CSQ, but she mainly made a name for herself by co-founding the green schools program, Établissements verts Brundtland.
She spearheaded a real crusade to make these schools places where people think globally and act locally to protect our future and keep our ecosystems intact.
In 1999, she was inducted into the Cercle des Phénix de l'environnement and in 2002 she received Silver in the environmental learning category in the Canadian Environment Awards. In 2004 she was named one of the Coalition Eau Secours honourary water carriers.
The Bloc Québécois extends its most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Monique Fitz-Back.

Thanks to rather substantial increase in sales of central processing units aimed at notebooks, Intel Corp. managed to boost its market share to the highest level in three years, whereas Advanced Micro Devices could not sustain its share despite of the successful launch of code-named Puma mobile computer platform.
Mercury Research, a market tracking company, has released its findings for Q3 2008, according to which Intel's market increased to rather unprecedented, at least in the recent years, 81.2%, whereas shares of AMD and Via Technologies dropped to 17.7% and 1.1%, respectively. It was Q3 2005 when AMD commanded 17.7% of the market of central processing units (CPUs), whereas Intel's market share was 80.8%.
It is important to note that Q3 2008 was the first quarter when shipments of microprocessors for mobile applications exceeded shipments of desktop CPUs. This may be partly explained with the substantial increase in netbook popularity and increase in shipments of microprocessors aimed at ultra low-cost personal computers (ULCPCs), such as Intel Atom or Intel Celeron M. However, the main problem for AMD, which lost 1% of the market, is relatively narrow mobile products family.
"AMD's share decline was essentially due to their comparatively weaker mobile mix – the market moved strongly to mobile, and Intel having a larger share and mix benefited more, diluting AMD's position. [In other words], AMD lost share because Intel grew more," said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research, in an interview with PC Magazine web-site.
Despite of losses in the mobile, AMD managed to get "modest" market share increase in servers, which is a particularly good news for the Sunnyvale, California-based since server microprocessors are sold at significant price premium over desktop or mobile chips.
In overall, the CPU market rose 13.3% year over year, according to Mercury. Shipments of microprocessors for mobile computers increased 27%.
Since the financial crisis only began in September, the results of the quarter were not generally impacted, although the research firm claims that slowdown in certain market segments became evident already in September.
"The market in the third quarter did not appear to be impacted by the turmoil in the financial markets, though a number of our sources indicated a significant market slowing started in September," said McCarron.
"We're starting to see a weakening in servers already. My own forecast is pretty pessimistic about the overall market in the fourth quarter, so I would say I expect the impact right now, and it'll show up in the [fourth-quarter] results in January," the analyst added in a brief interview with eWeek web-site.

Bucks For Books
Students and teachers at Jamestown High School will have plenty of new reading material this year thanks to a grant from the Laura Bush Foundation.
The grants, which were awarded to 238 school libraries around the country, totaled more than $1 million. The Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries was founded in 2002, and since its inception has awarded more than $9.5 million to schools around the country. The application process is administered by The Community Foundation and the grants are funded through donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. Jamestown was awarded $5,000, the maximum amount allowable for the grant.
"We were one of only two schools in Western New York that got the grant," said Curtis Carr, librarian. "The money has to be specifically used for library books, which is wonderful. My annual budget is normally about $7,000 total that I can spend on books, so this was almost doubling what I would have had otherwise. It was a great addition for us. The only caveat was that we had to have all of the orders for books in by Dec. 1, 2012."
According to Carr, once a year Jamestown High School has a new book display, where all of the teachers and staff are invited to look at the new material that was purchased. This gives educators a chance to see what materials they will have access to so that they can plan around those resources.
"We decided to hold off on the preview until the grant books came in," said Carr. "We ordered from three different companies and the average book that we purchase runs us about $25, so we were able to get quite a few through this grant. Our purchases covered the entire spectrum with the books that we ordered, getting both fiction and nonfiction works. Our fiction collection, in my opinion, is a bit weak so I tried to focus on that. We're also focusing on the Common Core Standards, so we ordered some classics that fit into that category."
Carr attributed much of the success that Jamestown High School had with the grant request to Sue Bartle, who works as the director of school library systems for BOCES.
"She's written grants in the past, and she's the one that told me about this in the first place," said Carr. "She helped me to put the wording together since I had never submitted a grant before, so we were both thrilled when we found out that the school was awarded the maximum amount of the grant. Neither of us were really expecting it."
"Anything extra that we can get, even if it's small, is a big help," Carr continued. "I'm very happy with the budget that I get every year, but it's getting long in the tooth, and it's fantastic to have that extra influx of cash. The library here isn't utilized quite to the extent that it should be, but if we can keep it fresh and new, it helps."

Climate Change
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate our wonderful pages on their beautiful voices and thank them for that incredible moment.
I am rising today to remind us that 23 years ago next week was the first global scientific conference on the threat of climate change. Canada sponsored it. We were proud to have that conference opened by our Prime Minister, and the scientists gathered there made the following statement:
Humanity is conducting an unintended, uncontrolled, globally pervasive experiment whose ultimate consequences could be second only to a global nuclear war.
Since that time, the warnings of those scientists are no long future warnings of disappearing ice caps, retreating glaciers, increased floods and fires. They are the daily stuff of our newspapers.
Now is the time to reflect on the warnings of scientists to reinvest in their efforts and to ensure that once again Canada takes a lead globally in the fight to reduce greenhouse gases and protect our country.
Essar Steel Algoma
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bryan Hayes Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, as I rise in the House for the very first time, I am deeply grateful to my family, my campaign team and the constituents of Sault Ste. Marie and area for their support in my being elected as the first Conservative member from Sault Ste. Marie since 1984.
Should corporate taxes be raised, which would have been necessary to fund the promises of the opposition, the ability of our major employer, Essar Steel Algoma, to compete in the global marketplace in an extremely volatile steel industry would be compromised, resulting in potential job loss.
Furthermore, a corporate tax increase would severely hinder the ability of Essar Steel Algoma to expand its port facilities, necessary to increase capacity and add to the 3,200 direct jobs already provided by Essar in Sault Ste. Marie.
I thank the ownership of Essar from India and the Ruia family for the investment they have made in Sault Ste. Marie and for the job opportunities they have provided.
I look forward to our government's negotiation of a trade agreement with India, as our dealings with that country have been exceptional and of such benefit to my riding.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Sylvain Chicoine Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to thank the voters of Châteauguay—Saint-Constant for placing their trust in me to stand up for their interests here, and I plan on doing so with conviction.
I would also like to pay tribute to the Canadian family, the Quebec family in general, and, more specifically, my own family. I would like to thank the members of my immediate family who helped me during the latest election campaign. Their work and valuable help literally transported me right here to Parliament.
I would also like to highlight the unconditional support of my partner, Jacinthe, who does a remarkable job of taking care of my three young children, Sara, David and William. I hope to make up for my absences by working with all hon. members in this House to build a better future, a healthy environment and decent conditions for all Canadian children, and by working to ensure that they also want to be part of a remarkable family. Let us hear it for families.
Republic of South Sudan
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, on July 9, Canada will join with many other countries in recognizing and celebrating the birth of the world's newest nation, the Republic of South Sudan.
There is much to celebrate in the independence of this new nation. Most important for all the people of that long-troubled region is peace after 22 years of civil war.
Even a recent dispute between Sudan and South Sudan was successfully negotiated this week, demilitarizing the border town of Abyei and allowing residents to move back home.
Canada, along with many other western and African nations, has invested heavily in the peace process. Our Canadian contribution to Sudan totals $800 million in food aid, development and peace initiatives.
Even so, there is still much work to be done to secure a long-term peace in the Sudan, including resolving the conflict in Darfur. However, as the Prime Minister said recently, Canada remains committed to helping the Sudanese in "charting their future".
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the city of Kirkland.
Kirkland's history begins with the arrival of the Brunet family in the area in 1667. The Meloche and Daoust families were also among the first families to arrive.
Kirkland's town library is a testament to the spirit of volunteerism behind the city's social, sports and recreational life.
In 1971, nine women gathered together in an old wooden house to inaugurate the town's first library. The original modest collection of books was donated by the Boy Scouts, who went door to door to collect second-hand volumes. Through subsequent fundraising efforts, that at one point included raffling off a car, the Kirkland Public Library was well on its way to serving the fledgling community.
From its first mayor, Marcel Meloche, to its current mayor, John Meaney, Kirkland has been served by a long line of dynamic mayors, including Sam Elkas, later an MNA and Quebec cabinet minister, and Nick Discepola, who sat in this House from 1993 to 2004.
I invite all of the members to join with me in wishing a very happy 50th anniversary to the people of Kirkland.
Building Canada Fund
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend two great events in Brandon—Souris.
The Kristopher Campbell Memorial Skateboard Plaza was officially opened this past Saturday. The skateboard park is named in memory of an enthusiastic young Brandon skateboarder whose life was cut tragically short. This park will become a meeting place for all in Brandon and is part of the city's plan to rejuvenate its downtown.
Following that, I had the privilege to take part in the grand opening of the Virden Regional Multi-Purpose Recreation Facility which features a 1,200-seat arena, change rooms for the pool, lounges, retail shops, a 500-seat banquet hall, fitness centre and walking track. This facility will provide much needed recreational opportunities for Virden and the entire western region of the province.
Both events were the product of successful partnerships between all levels of government, the private sector and community fundraising.
I am thrilled to see such positive results from our government's building Canada fund and was proud to participate in these wonderful grand openings.
Statements By Members
June 22nd, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Denis Blanchette Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank the people of Louis-Hébert for the trust they placed in me on May 2. On election day, 73% of them voted, which was the highest voter turnout rate in all of Quebec.
The people of Louis-Hébert, like everyone in the Quebec City area, are warm and welcoming. And so, I want to invite all of the members of the House and their families to visit our region.
The north shore, the south shore, festivals, events, culture in all its forms, history, outdoor activities or a nice meal shared with friends—you will surely find whatever it takes to have a wonderful experience and create lasting memories.
Welcome, and enjoy your summer.
Seniors Month
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, June is Seniors Month, and while others have risen in the House to pay tribute, I would like to add my voice of thanks to those who helped build this country and make it great.
Many seniors are veterans whose sacrifice we honour every Remembrance Day. Many others simply worked hard every day to build a better life for their children. Along the way, they built a better country for our grandchildren.
As we look toward Canada Day, we owe a deep debt of gratitude to our senior citizens. There is so much we can all learn from the wisdom and life experience of our seniors.
Our budget included a number of initiatives to help, including enhancements to the GIS for vulnerable seniors.
June also holds a special place in my heart for another reason. June is Scleroderma Awareness Month. My mother suffered from scleroderma, which is a progressive chronic connective tissue disorder. Hence, she became a senior for a precious short period of time.
I encourage Canadians to learn more at www.scleroderma.ca and let us find a cure.
Jean Béliveau
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise here today to pay tribute to a man who began a journey on August 18, 2000, with the goal of walking around the planet to promote peace and non-violence for the children of the world.
With nothing but a three-wheeled stroller to carry his things, Jean Béliveau, from Montreal, has walked 75,000 km in 64 countries. Last week, he was in my riding of Saint Boniface and we were honoured to welcome him. His five-day stop in Winnipeg means that his 11-year journey is almost over. I applaud his dedication to such an important cause.
His journey coincided with a UN proclamation declaring 2001 to 2010 the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World.
I would like to thank Mr. Béliveau for coming to Saint Boniface. I wish him all the best and, as a mother, I would like to personally thank him for his dedication to children all around the world.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am deeply honoured that Victorians renewed their trust in me in the last election. I am excited to work with them to advance their priority issues and complement their creative efforts toward a national housing strategy; to continue building a vibrant community with a caring spirit; to protect our coastal waters from tanker traffic and our west coast fisheries from contaminated feed lots from fish farms; to protect and streamline our public health care so it is efficient and responsive; to foster a strong local economy that supports green technology, clean energy, small business and good jobs; to secure senior government help for our regional LRT; and to stop the privatization of Victoria Harbour.
I am proud to represent Canada's most livable community and I will use every labour at my disposal to respond to their needs and interests.
Foreign Affairs
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Mark Adler York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, a grim anniversary is upon us, and that is the fifth anniversary of the kidnapping of Israeli Staff Sergeant Gilad Shalit by Hamas.
The last five years have been excruciating for his loved ones who have not received even a sign of life in almost 18 months.
Canada has been steadfast in calling for Gilad Shalit's release. I would ask all hon. members to join me in repeating that call today.
We also repeat calls for Hamas to allow the Red Cross or Red Crescent to visit him immediately.
Galid Shalit's kidnapping is one of several sticking points in the peace process. If there is to be true progress toward a two-state solution, let us start with Galid Shalit's unconditional and immediate release. May it end his suffering and that of his family.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, as the newly elected chair of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, I look forward to working with committee members to move forward on important issues facing women in Canada.
We know that during times of economic recession and difficulty, women face significant challenges. Women still earn only 71¢ to the male dollar. The rate of women in poverty continues to grow. As corporations and government seek to roll back the rights, pensions and benefits of working Canadians, women are often left the most marginalized.
A shocking rate of senior women, around 14%, are left to live in poverty. Without national programs in housing and child care, many young women struggle to build a stable future.
Many women still face unacceptable violence because they are women, and shockingly aboriginal women face some of the highest rates of abuse and even murder.
There is great work to be done and we can do this by listening to women and women's organizations and together work to achieve equality in Canada.
Brantford Red Sox
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Phil McColeman Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Brantford Red Sox, steeped in tradition dating back to the start-up of the Canadian baseball league in 1911, celebrated its 100th anniversary last Friday.
Fans gathered to pay tribute to the players and teams who were the heroes to many in my community, including this MP.
The highlights are many. From 1949 to 1954, many of the players came from the disbanded Negro baseball leagues after Jackie Robinson broke the race barrier. The great Satchel Paige pitched against the Red Sox at Cockshutt Park.
The team won five consecutive post-war championships from 1958 to 1963.
The Red Sox hosted the only American league versus national league all-star game held outside the borders of the United States.
Yes, baseball has deep roots in Brantford.
I thank the Red Sox for baseball excellence over its first 100 years.
Triple Bay Eagles Ground Search and Rescue Team
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a remarkable group in my riding of Random—Burin—St. George's, the Triple Bay Eagles Ground Search and Rescue Team in the Clarenville area.
Comprised of 34 members, this volunteer group accumulated 3,935 hours of volunteer work last year, the highest in all of Newfoundland and Labrador. They routinely put their own lives in jeopardy and were among the first to respond last fall when hurricane Igor crippled the region.
This group exemplifies the tireless efforts of volunteers who keep many of our smaller towns and communities vibrant. Its work is invaluable.
I ask all members to join me in thanking the Triple Bay Eagles Ground Search and Rescue team for its continued commitment and dedication.

Vendors for fireplace hydronic water jackets?Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
"There are hot water coils designed to fit inside traditional free-standing woodstoves, and hydronic water jackets designed to fit inside a conventional masonry fireplace"
This is exciting to me.
The references at the bottom seem to be selling complete outdoor furnaces, not the simple heat exchanger in the photo on the article Web page. Do you have the name(s) of a vendor or two that make these water jackets for conventional masonry fireplaces?
With Appreciation,
I have answered this question before.
Stricter Federal government regulations and easy lawsuits against manufacturers have driven all the manufacturers of this type equipment out of the US market.
Back in the 70's and 80's there were many manufacturers of wood-fired hot water heaters, hydronic fireplaces, and hot water coil inserts for wood stoves. Some moved to Mexico and are selling lots of these products in Mexico and others just went out of business.
There may be one or two left, but about the only water heating wood stoves made now are the outdoor wood-fired boilers you see advertised in this magazine that pipe the hot water into the house.
Hope this helps,
Jeff Yago

Last week, we celebrated International Education Week here in the United States and around the world. New data in our annual Open Doors Report shows that international students are coming to the United States in higher numbers than ever, and more American students are going abroad to more diverse places. Students who seize the chance to study abroad enrich classrooms across the globe and return to their home countries to become leaders who promote more prosperous, equitable, and stable societies. Here at the State Department, our goal is to help a wider range of students have access to international education.
On November 20, I had the opportunity to join Eileen Tyson, Executive Director for Client Relations at the Educational Testing Service, and two very impressive students from Africa currently studying in the U.S.-Lethabo Thutula from South Africa (Point Park University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and Imoleayo Abel from Nigeria (Swarthmore College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) -- to share exciting news. This year, we have paired up with the Education Testing Service to lower the cost of applying to colleges and universities in the United States for some of the most deserving students in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs supports a network of over 400 EducationUSA Advising Centers worldwide. The centers advise students about study in the United States, helping them choose institutions that are good fits for them, and navigate the application process. For some of those talented students, the cost of the application process itself makes study in the U.S. beyond reach -- including standardized testing, application fees, visa fees, sometimes travel to larger cities in their countries where testing centers are located, or that first flight to the United States.
To address these needs, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs makes Opportunity Funds support available through EducationUSA centers for students who want to study in the United States but need financial help to start the process. With this support, talented students abroad apply to a wide range of colleges and universities in the United States that offer financial aid for international students, in recognition of the value these bright minds bring to their own campuses and communities.
With ETS' help, our Opportunity Funds will go even further this year. ETS has donated 300 vouchers to be distributed to students in Sub-Saharan Africa to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL, an international admissions requirement of colleges and universities across the United States. The gift of 300 tests free of charge will bring 300 students one step closer to study in the United States.
We are thrilled that more students like Lethabo and Imoleayo will be able to achieve their goals and enriched our classrooms here in the United States. And, in this week of Thanksgiving, we are grateful for public-private partnerships like this one with the Educational Testing Service that help us at the State Department broaden our impact.

This sounds like a a very helpful and exciting program to be part of.
I hope they excel in their studies abroad !

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: My best friend and I decided it would be a great bonding experience to walk to the local park and sleep in the field. It was beautiful just laying on the turf, looking at the stars and talking about how we would be in each others weddings. We had taken our shoes off and set them right by where we slept. The next morning, we woke up to a soccer game that had started around us and our shoes were chewed into little pieces all over the field! In the middle of the night, a coyote had decided to have a midnight snack...I'm just glad it decided to snack on the shoes and not us!
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I make the best chocolate chip cookies! I gave a bag of my homemade cookies to my fitness trainer Kent. Kent said he would never eat them because they weren't healthy, but that he would give them to his girlfriend, Heather. I ended up getting to meet Heather and I asked her how she enjoyed the cookies I made. Her response was "What cookies?" Kent had taken a bite of one cookie and liked it so much that HE ate the entire bag! They must have been some AMAZING cookies!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: I would take a trip to McDonalds and buy 10 million meals on the dollar menu and feed 999,999 people who haven't had a meal in a long time! Of course, I'd buy myself a hamburger too. After all of the healthy dining choices I have been making as Miss Colorado Teen USA, it would be nice to splurge on a yummy burger :-)
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: Regardless of her political party, definitely Sarah Palin! I see myself in her. I always thought about a future in politics and because of her, I plan to have one. She even inspired me to run for Student Council Vice President and I won. I admire many things about her.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: Sometimes on a Friday night, I love spending time with adults and talking politics and other times I love going to a movie or a party with my friends. I can be an old soul or a sixteen year old...I love both sides to me!

My dearestssss friends. I would absolutely love yo carry on making the sushi as I used to. However, I am on a much milder medication for my illness now, which means I do not have the energy for that (it used to take me all morning). Never mind, I'll try to come up with ideas/contributions that are not so heavy for me. For instance I've being making lemonade and Spanish hot-chocolate. Perhaps I can think of other things too.
Mucho, mucho love

Choosing the best snowshoe for you
There are many ways to get around in the snow and explore, whether you are a skier, snowmobiler or hiker. For me, I find snowshoeing to be one of the most effective and rewarding activities.
A lot of times it is actually easier to get around places on snowshoes in the winter. If you can walk, you can probably snowshoe.
There are many types of snowshoe available to choose from, from the modern to traditional. Although the modern snowshoes have their advantages with metal crampons and maneuverability, I prefer the look and function of the more traditional snowshoe.
Traditional snowshoes are primarily made up of a frame of steam-bent wood strung with rawhide, sinew or, more recently, neoprene. Attached to that is a binding to hold your shoe in place. A simple lamp wicking used to loop around the toe and heel has been used. Around here, the more common binding is the Maki binding, made of inner tube rubber, that works well. There are also a few modern bindings with straps and buckles to secure your boot.
There are basically four different types of traditional snowshoes out on the market today and each of them has its own unique function.
The most common and familiar to this area are the Michigan or Main snowshoes. These have a rounded and upturned toe and typically measure around 45 inches long and about 14 inches wide. These measurements vary depending on manufacturer and the size of the user. They are fairly maneuverable and have a sufficient amount of float for the amount of snow we have to deal with.
A closely related style of snowshoe to the Michigan/Maine is called the Ojibwa. Instead of having a rounded toe, these shoes have a pointed toe. This makes them much easier to navigate through tangled brush such as a tag alder swamp. This is my preferred style of snowshoe for getting around thick woods.
The Alaskans are a much longer snowshoe measuring around 60 inches long and 10 inches wide. They are great for trekking in a straight path with good float over powdery snow. Unfortunately they are not very maneuverable through brush and can be difficult to use in this area.
The bear paw or green mountain style is another common variety. They measure only about 30 inches long and at most 14 inches wide. They are very maneuverable, but do not have sufficient float to be efficient for travel in our mid winter snow. They are more useful during the late season when the snow gets crusty and in the early spring when the tree-tapping season begins. I believe that is their intended use.
Finally, there is the beavertail or elbow-style snowshoe. They measure about 30 inches long and 20 inches wide. They can look almost circular. Indigenous people in the far north use this type of snowshoe where the snow is especially powdery due to the extreme cold. These are typically more densely and intricately woven than the more common snowshoes. This provides a lot of surface area to help float over fluffy snow.
Now that the snow is here there is a plethora of opportunities for outdoor recreation. There are many new chances to get out any and enjoy the outdoors that were not available earlier this winter. From skiing to snowmobiling, there is no reason not to get out and enjoy this beautiful season.

Topic: Changing the color of a control after a page is rendered
This shouldn't be too hard, but I can't seem to find a reference to how to do it. (I am new to both Rails and js, so forgive me if this is incredibly lame).
When a user loads my page, I want to highlight the table cell they were last working with when they saved the form last.
I have tried putting "window.onload = InitDay()" near the top of my script (as well as at the end of my script), as well as "window.afterrender = InitDay()" but when the page is loaded, InitDay is called before the page is rendered, so I get an error when InitDay() tries to reference a table cell, I believe because the table has not yet been rendered.
The code in InitDay is:
x= document.getElementById(lastday) //lastday is the last day that was being edited and is the name of the appropriate table cell
xx = x.className // this line results in the error 'x is null'
When this code is executed the table calendar is not yet rendered, so I presume this is why 'x is null'.
So, how does one invoke a javassript function to run after a page has completed rendering?
Thanks in advance for any help. --Fred

I love a balanced Darjeeling with flavor and lots of Muscat - like the better teas offered by Castleton and Margaret's Hope.
However, what are my best choices when it comes to more affordable Darjeeling blends? Upton's does a good job - but can anyone recommend something's that's comparable, or even better?

About the Author: Arturo A. Valenzuela serves as the Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs.
I accompanied Secretary Clinton last week on a six-country trip across the Americas. The Secretary's travel had been on the books for some time, but given back-to-back devastating earthquakes first in Haiti on January 12, and then in Chile on February 27, the trip took on an even more poignant dimension. Logging more than 16,000 travel miles in just six days, we were able to show solidarity and unity with our regional partners as we collaborate on relief and recovery efforts.
Our delegation met with officials and civil society representatives from Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Guatemala during the visit. In Chile, we were able to witness first-hand the daunting relief coordination efforts underway. We returned to the United States encouraged by the supportive response from our Latin American neighbors. This trip underscored our common commitments to strengthen effective institutions of democratic governance, ensure the safety of our citizens, and create social and economic opportunities for our peoples. Secretary Clinton reinforced our shared responsibilities and desire to continue working together to deliver tangible, beneficial results to all the citizens of the Americas.
Our first stop in the region was Uruguay, where Secretary Clinton attended President Mujica's inauguration on March 1. It was an opportunity to congratulate President Mujica in person on his election and join Uruguayans in celebration of the country's strong democratic institutions.
We originally planned to spend more time on the ground in Chile, but given the 8.8 quake that had struck less than a week before, we shortened the Santiago visit and added a stop in Argentina. This additional leg was organized in a matter of hours, and we were warmly welcomed by Argentine President Fernandez de Kirchner in Buenos Aires. Secretary Clinton and President Kirchner discussed how the United States and Argentina could further collaborate in Haiti and Chile. The Secretary praised President Kirchner for the impressive work of Argentine doctors and peacekeepers in Haiti. We also discussed Argentina's commitment in the fight against international terrorism and in advancing nuclear non-proliferation.
After a few hours on the ground in Buenos Aires, we flew to Santiago to meet with President Michelle Bachelet and President-elect Sebastian Piñera. It was a great honor to visit my country of birth Chile and stand side-by-side with the resilient Chilean people in their time of need. During her press availability with President Bachelet, Secretary Clinton handed her a satellite phone, one of 25 that she brought on her plane. This was an advance deposit on additional assistance the United States has committed to Chile, including a mobile field hospital, water purification units, electrical generators, medical supplies, and the use of C-130 aircraft to transport humanitarian commodities and other relief supplies to affected areas.
Following the stop in Santiago, we traveled to Brazil to meet with President Lula and Foreign Minister Amorim. One of the highlights of the trip was the Secretary's "townterview" -- a combined interview and townhall before a largely student audience in Sao Paolo. Secretary Clinton emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for Afro-Brazilians. While Afro-Brazilians make up more than 50 percent of the Brazilian population, they remain underrepresented in Brazilian business and government, a historical reality that President Lula's government is working to overcome. The Secretary answered a variety of questions from the moderator, the live audience, and Brazilians who tuned in online for the livestream. She touched on regional collaboration, Brazil as a global power, the advancement of women and investments by U.S. companies in Brazil to help Brazilian students learn English.
We next traveled to Costa Rica, where the Secretary participated in the Pathways to Prosperity in the Americas Ministerial Meeting. Pathways is about making sure that policies promoting economic growth benefit all our citizens -- not just an elite few. Speaking before ministers from the Western Hemisphere, Secretary Clinton emphasized our common strengths as neighbors, partners and friends to ensure economic opportunities for all citizens of the Americas. On display at this meeting were the notable contributions of small and medium-sized business leaders, and especially female entrepreneurs, within their local communities. Secretary Clinton also met with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias and President-elect Laura Chinchilla to discuss their views of the challenges their Central American countries face in achieving growth and prosperity with equity.
On our last stop in Guatemala, Secretary Clinton met with Guatemalan President Álvaro Colom, Salvadoran President Funes, Costa Rican President Arias, Hondurans President Lobo, Dominican President Fernandez, and Belizean Prime Minister Barrow, where they discussed our joint counternarcotics efforts in the region. The Secretary reiterated the United States' shared responsibility in this battle, as the demand that fuels narcotics trafficking in large part comes from our country. We also discussed our common commitment to strengthening Central American integration and promote stronger states capable of fostering greater growth through the private sector like addressing problems of social exclusion.
This was a non-stop trip, led by our tireless Secretary. We are focused on actively listening to and working closely together with our regional partners to expand opportunities for our citizens. Perhaps most importantly, we were able to underscore our continued engagement in Latin America, especially at a time when we are working together to help two critical partners, Haiti and Chile, get back on their feet following two devastating earthquakes.

Protecting all children
James Kerian, Grafton
Tuesday, Jan. 22, marked the 40th anniversary since the Supreme Court announced its Roe v Wade decision and struck down every law against abortion in every state throughout the entire country. Since that day over 55 million children have lost their lives in US abortion clinics.
Since the last election those who want to keep abortion legal have been feeling pretty confident. The presidential race went their way. They gained seats in the house as well as the senate. Even here in North Dakota, one of the most pro life states in the nation, we have just elected a new senator, Heidi Heitkamp, whose support of the abortion industry is proven, established and radical.
On closer consideration, however, the days of legal abortion in this country are likely coming to an end. The shooting at Sandy Hook Elemantary School in Newtown, Conn., made one thing very clear. Americans want to protect children. We have laws against child abandonment and child endangerment. We do not allow those on whom children depend to give up their responsibility until the safety of the child is first assured. We are disgusted, revolted and outraged by the killing of children. Whatever has happened in this country to religion, morality, family life or society it has not changed the fact that we are unreservedly opposed to the killing of children. The continuation of legal abortion is, therefore, completely dependent on most Americans remaining ignorant of the fact that those who are killed in abortion clinics are children. This ignorance cannot be sustained in the information age.
As ultrasound and digital imaging technology continues to improve it will inevitably become more obvious to more people that the victims of abortion are not blobs of tissue or a part of someone else's body. They are children. According to state records each year the abortion clinic in Fargo takes the lives of nearly 200 children who are beyond the tenth week of pregnancy. These are children with detectable brainwaves and heartbeats. Their kidneys, intestines and livers are formed. They have arms, legs, fingers and toes. They have unique fingerprints and their own unique blood (often a different blood type than either parent) being pumped through their own body by their own heart. These are children, and as that fact becomes more widely understood Americans will demand that these children be protected.

My starter will generally triple in volume after I feed it (dump 1/4 cup and feed it 1/4 cup flour and equal weight of water). My question is at what "stage of development" do you use it? When it is at its maximum volume (tripled in my case)? When it is on it's way up (say, doubled)? Other?Barry
Great looking crumb on that bread. I think that your starter is ready to use, no doubt. Did you slash the bread before baking? That will mitigate the cracks and allow for more expansion.John

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good 5k course but no chipIn full: Did the 5k since fancied a shorter distance this time. Generally good course, but narrow start and the tight turn at half way slowed things down a little.Great weather given the last few weeks, although fresh head wind on the way back.Good organisation at start and end, although goody bag was just a drink. Maybe there's more for the 10k runners - I'll find out in April since booked on this.Biggest gripe, though, was no chip for the 5k for reasons entirely unclear. Maybe they thought of it as a fun race, but some just want to do 5k every now and then and besides everyone wants to know their actual time, whether doing it faster or as a first race. Nothing in the event details to indicate this so a bit of a let down on the day.My gps watch said 4.9k.Date of review: February 2, 2013
In short: Lovely location, good atmosphereIn full: My first 10k so not much to judge it by, other than other sports events I or the kids have been involved in.I thought it was a nice, mixed course. Very enjoyable. I expect for those a lot faster than me it could have been frustrating, with kissing gates and single file sections, but that's pretty clear in advance from the comments from previous years.Quite hot.Quite warmDate of review: May 27, 2012

Questions regarding the digitally re-mastered Beatles catalogue
As we are within 2 wks away from the release the digitally re-mastered Beatles catalogue, what I would like to know is whatever happened to the The Capitol Albums Vol. 3 that would have covered Revolver, SPLHCB, MMT, The White Album, Let It Be, and Abbey Road? I know it'll be in this set.
With the release of digitally re-mastered Beatles catalogue, we are getting a re-release of The Capitol Albums Vol. 1 & 2, and Let It Be...Naked, again. Btw, in this set will be the original LIB or LIB...Naked? Will we also see digital re-masters of the unique stuff from Past Masters 1 & 2 and Live at the Hollywood Bowl?
Does anyone know if there are buttons promoting The Beatles: Rock Band video game or the digital remastered catalogue?

So with all of this publicity does anybody think that Denny is being left out of all of it? I think it would be cool for Denny to join Paul on stage for a performance for some of the songs off of the album. He was on the album too!
Moderator: Mike
chris wrote:you know, denny's contributions to wings have been debated before. i wouldn't mind seeing denny and paul on stage together for nostalgias sake...but thats it as far as i'm concerned. to me denny has nothing to do with the remasters for it is paul's music i am listening to. denny was just a player along for the ride, probably doing and playing as paul instructed him to. and i think...paul and denny have very little to do with one another any longer. i seem to recall an album project denny was working on not too long ago...and he asked paul to contribute...either a song or his bass playing...and paul respectfully declined.
if paul was to revisit any of his former musical partnerships in the studio or onstage again i would much rather it be with either ringo or elvis costello.
chris wrote:yeah, derek, you're right. they did play together for a while. but it has been, what?...30 years since they have played together? that is a lifetime, brother.
jgkojak wrote:I never understood the deal with this - it was a JOB for Denny. How many of us had jobs, maybe for years (like 10) where we worked in the trenches, even traveled, with people, developed some bonds, but then when the job ended - we moved on, and 30 years later, in our 60s, we aren't expected to reconnect - "hey, Bob, I remember you were a real whiz with charts, I have a PPT I'm doing as a volunteer for a charity, how about giving me a hand, get the old gang back together..."
Its kind of silly.
chris wrote:Derek, I think you are projecting your own hopes upon the situation. If Paul wanted to see Denny, or involve him in any way with releasing the remasters, he would have. He's Paul frickin' McCartney...he can do what he wants. But he's not going to do it because you want him to...or because you think he should.
People grow up. Meet people. Occasionally even begin to care about others. But then go their own way. Sometimes never seeing that person again. It happens all the time. JG is right. We may glorify what they do, but its just a job. Even if it's a cool one. Paul has worked with hundreds of other musicians. Most of which would have probably liked to have kept touch with paul. If paul wanted to remain in contact, don't you think he would have?

So, what say you, forum members? Should I ever bother to invite this crust-neglecter back again to continue stabbing me in the heart?__Jason
I think my bone are pretty good, but I still feed about half of them to Java.Maybe serve this with your pizza: http://www.seriouseats.com/talk/2012/11/the-elusive-secret-dipping-sauce-aka-sds-secret-no-more.html
I think you offended yourself.The main purpose of the edge crust is to enable you to hold a slice without getting your fingers gooey. I often discard, i.e. feed to the dogs, my bones so that I can taste more pizza. If not in a situation where I want to sample lots of pizza (like when I make 1 or 3), then I prepare and provide dipping sauce of some sort for the bones.
Also I think 99% of people rarely get great pizza and are used to tossing the bones of frozen pizzas and cheap takeout/delivery pizzas that I would toss too
then if he refuses break his arm

Fast Pace Word Building Fun
By 2 Teaching Mommies
from Kentucky
About Me Education Oriented, Stay At Home Parent
To give a little background, my son is 4.5. However, he is more advance in reading, so even though he was under the age requirement, Level 1 was a great fit for him. He did come across words that he didn't recognize, such as par and jot, but this opened the door for us to discuss new words and their meaning. At this time, he doesn't get a lot done in a minute, but there is no set goal that he is required to reach. This allows him to challenge himself by trying to beat his previous record. Being the perfectionist that he is, there are times that he gets frustrated with himself for not doing better than his previous score or selecting the wrong letter. As we always do, we just remind him that its ok if you make mistakes and to just have fun. So, here is my honest opinion: Simple to Use – Everything you need is right on the front. A switch for changing levels and two buttons for selecting words. Grows with the Child – It offers 3 different levels that increase the length of words as well as difficulty (incorporating blends). Portable Entertainment – It is small and you can take it just about anywhere. It would make a great addition to your travel game collection.Fun for ALL Ages – After the boy went to bed, my husband and I had fun competing against each other to see who could build the most words correctly in 60 seconds. Overall, this is a great little product. I give it my full recommendation. Parents have countless options for their kids in the "mindless games" category. This is a fun, affordable game that also works the brain. *******************The product was provided to me at no cost for review, by Learning Resources. All opinions expressed are my own.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThese social animals live in large, male-dominated groups in which breeding behaviour is highly territorial. Males hold territories both on land and in the water, with females within each territory mating with the resident male. As such, males will often fight fiercely to maintain these territories (6). Breeding occurs from mid-November until the end of January, immediately after pupping, with most pups from the preceding breeding season being born from late November to early December (2). Thus, gestation takes a little under one year. Females give birth to a single pup each year, which they then nurse on land, for a period of about 8 to 12 months (7). Soon after the birth of the pup, the female will mate again, before departing to sea to feed, returning from time to time to suckle her pup. A female returning from a feeding trip comes to the beach where she left her pup, and calls for it with a characteristic call. The pup answers with its own call, which is recognised by the mother, and their identity is confirmed by smelling the pup (6). The diet includes at least five varieties of squid, and there are reports that these fur seals also feed on various fishes and lobster (2). Sharks and killer whales are known to prey on Juan Fernández fur seals (5).

Corn Dogs
- 1 gallon peanut oil
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons (approximately 1 large) jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
- 1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
- 1/3 cup finely grated onion
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
- 8 beef hot dogs
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.
Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.
