I just love this band. They have released 3 album. The first two were quite hardrocking with lots of distorsion on but very melodic. But their latest album Howl, is in my point of view a mastepiece.
I just love the sound and athmosphere on this.

Utilizing "best practices" in higher education research, the Offices of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs collaborated to create a new residential and academic program for first-year students at Wesley College: the Living Learning Community Program (LLCs), in which students who share a common interest or academic pursuit live together.
In the summer of 1958, a bright, yet shy recent high school graduate living in a farming community in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County was resigned to a life in the country. That's when, by chance, a postage-stamp-sized advertisement in a magazine mailed to her home changed Joan (Lefever) Bennett's life.

Americans in great numbers are rediscovering their founding fathers in such best-selling books as Joseph Ellis' Founding Brothers, David McCullough's John Adams and my own Undaunted Courage, about Lewis and Clark. There are others who believe that some of these men are unworthy of our attention because they owned slaves, Washington, Jefferson, Clark among them, but not Adams. They failed to rise above their time and place, though Washington (but not Jefferson) freed his slaves. But history abounds with ironies. These men, the founding fathers and brothers, established a system of government that, after much struggle, and the terrible violence of the Civil War, and the civil rights movement led by black Americans, did lead to legal freedom for all Americans and movement toward equality.
From This Story
Related Content
Let's begin with Thomas Jefferson, because it is he who wrote the words that inspired subsequent generations to make the heroic sacrifices that transformed the words "All men are created equal" into reality.
In 1996 I was a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin. The History Club there asked me to participate in a panel discussion on "Political Correctness and the University." The professor seated next to me taught American political thought. I remarked to her that when I began teaching I had required students to read five or six books each semester, but I had cut that back to three or four or else the students would drop my course. She said she had the same problem. She had dropped Thomas Jefferson's writings from the required reading list.
"You are in Madison, being paid by the citizens of Wisconsin to teach their children American political thought, and you leave out Tom Jefferson?"
"Yes," she replied. "He was a slaveholder." More than half the large audience applauded.
Jefferson owned slaves. He did not believe that all were created equal. He was a racist, incapable of rising above the thought of his time and place, and willing to profit from slave labor.
Few of us entirely escape our times and places. Thomas Jefferson did not achieve greatness in his personal life. He had a slave as mistress. He lied about it. He once tried to bribe a hostile reporter. His war record was not good. He spent much of his life in intellectual pursuits in which he excelled and not enough in leading his fellow Americans toward great goals by example. Jefferson surely knew slavery was wrong, but he didn't have the courage to lead the way to emancipation. If you hate slavery and the terrible things it did to human beings, it is difficult to regard Jefferson as great. He was a spendthrift, always deeply in debt. He never freed his slaves. Thus the sting in Dr. Samuel Johnson's mortifying question, "How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty from the drivers of Negroes?"
Jefferson knew slavery was wrong and that he was wrong in profiting from the institution, but apparently could see no way to relinquish it in his lifetime. He thought abolition of slavery might be accomplished by the young men of the next generation. They were qualified to bring the American Revolution to its idealistic conclusion because, he said, these young Virginians had "sucked in the principles of liberty as if it were their mother's milk."
Of all the contradictions in Jefferson's contradictory life, none is greater. Of all the contradictions in America's history, none surpasses its toleration first of slavery and then of segregation. Jefferson hoped and expected that Virginians of Meriwether Lewis' and William Clark's generation would abolish slavery. His writing showed that he had a great mind and a limited character.
Jefferson, like all slaveholders and many other white members of American society, regarded Negroes as inferior, childlike, untrustworthy and, of course, as property. Jefferson, the genius of politics, could see no way for African-Americans to live in society as free people. He embraced the worst forms of racism to justify slavery.

You can't really talk sense to upset people in a game thread though.

"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Anyone doubting how great of a player KD is now? He's putting on a clinic right now
Can we get consecutive stops?
Everybody is putting on a clinic to our weak *** D
Get Hill off the ****ing floor. God he is useless.
My god we ****ing suck in transition are you ****ing kidding me I can not calm down just rest the damn starters already
We found out our weakness: we can't beat a top 4 team in the West on the 2nd half of a back-to-back after beating another top 4 team in the West the night before. FIRE EVERYONE!
George hill sit the **** down
Oh f#ckoff with that weak sh#t Hill.
Change is neither good or bad, it simply is.
Pacers basketball.
Where making a 4 on 1 fastbreak look impossible to complete.
We just can't trim this to anything lower than a 15 point deficit. OKC is too good.
Hill has really struggled tonight
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
That sequence was a killer. 5 point swing.
I like how games like this can show who are the delusional fans.
Just can't make the baskets we need.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Once again, a team has to shoot out of their minds to beat us.
Skip Bayless:
"Derek Fisher will prove to be a much better NBA head coach than Steve Kerr."
"The Houston Texans will forever regret it if they do not take Johnny Manziel with the No. 1 overall pick. He will haunt them."
"You bet I'd take Tebow late in games over ARodg."
"Manti Te'o: the next Ray Lewis."
The boys are tired after a long road trip vs very good teams far from home. That's what I see Here
Thanks Frank!
So, we are not making a run in this game. All teams are supposed to do that but today is mot seemingly probable by us.
Last play was just awful and sums us up when we are in a fast break situation
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Wow! Russell Westbrook is playing like Michael Carter-Williams tonight.
Rest the starters Frank. We aren't winning this
I guess everyone has their own way of dealing with losses but I can't be upset no matter what happens in this game

Yes, Sunriver has an airport
Everyone who visits Sunriver Resort has more than likely seen the airplanes parked across the meadow at the Sunriver airport.
However, few realize that this airport is actually one of the busiest private airstrips west of the Mississippi River with over 200,000 takeoffs and/or landings every year ranging from small single engine propeller planes and large private jets, to helicopters and gliders.
The airport was built by the developers of Sunriver Resort nearly 40 years ago to increase the resort's appeal as a fly-in destination. It sees the majority of its use from a mix of residents, resort guests and families, and group/conference clientele who enjoy the convenience of being able to fly directly to the resort rather than to Roberts Field or Bend Municipal Airport.
A few weeks ago during the JELD-WEN Tradition golf tournament, the airport saw 480 takeoffs and/or landings in 6 days. The airport crew estimated the total value of jets and planes that landed in Sunriver during the golf tournament at over $270,000,000!

She does not like the smell of this oil and at first she did not eat her food. But she has got used to the smell. I also use Now Foods Avocado oil which does not have such strong smell as EPO.

An old adage says, The best things in life are free. Theres a lot of truth in that. Some people, however, believe that the best things in life are expensive or perhaps elusive. Recently I saw a sign that made me smile and think. It said, The best things in life are not things. What a great way to say it! The value of family, friends, and faith points us to the realization that what matters most in life is all wrapped up in people and the Lord.
Solomon was well qualified to speak about material things because he surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom (1 Kings 10:23). His advice? Do not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease! Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle toward heaven (Prov. 23:4-5). His recommended course of action was, Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge. . . . For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off (vv.12,18).
The best things in life are the eternal riches that come from Gods goodness and grace in Jesus Christ. We do not hold them in our hands, but in our hearts.
Read: Proverbs 23:1-18
Thank you for raising such a fine young patriot.
I'm sure he'll make an excellent Marine.
Semper Fi
I was especially proud because the people at MEPS recognized his tremendous military attitude and bearing. People can tell a hundred yards off that he carries himself like a Marine. All the personnel there noted how correct he was and how very well he did on everything. When the kids were being sworn in, the room was full of 20 sloppy, confused, slightly scared civilian boys and girls who were trying in a sweet, lame manner to be military, though they weren't quite sure how, and then there was one serious boy who stuck out like a sore thumb because he had studied to do everything perfectly. This is a kid who wants a DI to be hard on him so he can learn more.
Please agree with me in prayer for his safety and mental peace.
Congratulations, Marine Mom!....from an Air Force mom! God bless you, him and the entire family!
For you, love as an adventure. While you may get hurt, that's the risk you have to take.
You are receptive to any love or relationship that may come your way. You can't predict love!
Deep down, your heart is susceptible to: Anything... both good and bad
Your current outlook on love: Free spirited and flexible
Your love life will improve if you: Protect yourself a little. You don't have to be open to every romantic experience.
Watch out for: Treating love as a game
Well I got an ultrasound tomorrow for a swollen saliva gland that took me by surprise a little over a week ago. Hopefully will get the issue resolved. :)
We watched the film Act of Valor Monday night for the first time.
Wonderful film that reminds everyone that there are bad guys out there who need to be clobbered once and a while.
Thanks to all the troops for keeping us safe!
Finally got back....my desktop threw a hissy fit and would do anything. Rebooted and so far I'll getting back.
Good to hear that Mrs MacNessa was able to make your computer cooperate.

In the mining camps, it was the miners themselves who were responsible for local affairs. In only a few years, they worked out rules governing the discovery and exploitation of mineral resources that were later incorporated into state and federal statutes. As for criminal law, miners and local townspeople were equally efficient in dealing out their own form of justice. As towns sprang up near the camps, newly appointed officials were appointed to impose order.
|Illustration XII: "Judge Lynch," California Vigilants, 1848. Painting by Stanley Berkely. Copyright 1905, by John D. Morris & Company. LC-USZ62-51822. #51846
Finally, on September 9, 1850, President Fillmore signed the bill that gave California statehood.
However, state government did not automatically bring law and order to California. In San Francisco, local citizens became so impatient with the inability or unwillingness of local officers to enforce the law that they formed a "Vigilance Committee" in 1851. By the time that the committee disbanded at the end of September, they had hanged four men, handed fifteen over to the police for trials, and whipped or deported twenty-nine more. The San Francisco experience inspired vigilance committees in other towns and mining camps. The apparent reforms brought by the 1851 San Francisco vigilantes were short-lived, and when the city's marshals and one of its newspaper editors were shot down in 1856, the second San Francisco Vigilance Committee was formed, this time even seizing arms from the local state militia.Next: The Mines || Previous: The Forty Niners

I've only seen Ringo's name by that song. George is credited with "Photograph" and a few others, but I've never seen his name by "It Don't Come Easy."
That's funny what you said about the Hare Krishna chant. On his Storytellers CD/Video, Ringo talks about how George wanted to put all of these references to God in the song. Ringo told George, "YOU sing about God!" I thought that was funny. [:D]
It is kind of funny how Ringo talks about George co-writing the song, yet George's name isn't on the credits. [8)]

Topic: Typo Blog - Paginate?
I am using the current Trunk version # 1055 of Typo. One of the ways that I'm learning RoR is that I've begun creating my own theme for my Typo blog. Which during this development of my new theme, I am just working locally on my laptop, before I upload it to a live server when completed. I am using the Hemingway theme as my starting point & editing the files to make the theme look the way I want.
My general issue & reason for my question for help is that instead of a traditional blog that shows the entire blog on the home page, I want to only show the most recent blog on the home page and this entry will have a maximum number of characters & say "Read More" (which of course would link to the main blog page) if it goes beyond that. Then the main navigation of the site will have a link to a separate blog page, witch will have the entire blog. Plus, I'm hoping to also show the titles-only of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th most recent blog entries on the home page as well. An example of the general layout is http://orderedlist.com/
Also, I do not want to use the Admin page within Typo & just create the Pages code within the database... I want to create all this within the file structure of my Theme directory. Although I am willing to edit some files outside of the Theme directory as needed

Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act
Government Orders

Tina Keeper Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the participation of the member for Yukon in the debate today, because he always ensures that he represents his riding in a very respectful way.
I would like to answer the question about the issue around the process. I will go back to the idea that there was a process in place, which was very encouraging. I have to wrap this up, so I will just say that I am really disappointed that we have not responded to or continued that process. I look forward to hearing from people at committee.
Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, the message from the official consultations on matrimonial real property was very clear. As the Native Women's Association stated:
There is nothing in the legislation that addresses the systemic issues of violence many women face that lead to the dissolution of marriages nor is there any money available for implementation. In the end, we end up with a more worthless piece of paper.
In June 2006, the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women heard from Bev Jacobs from the Native Women's Association. She stated:
...legislative and non-legislative policies are required to alleviate the underlying issues of poverty and violence against women and children.
The government fails to see the real solutions. It refuses to sign on to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, even though this House endorsed the declaration and demanded the Government of Canada sign on.
The government has failed to address the systemic discrimination that first nations, Inuit and Métis women face, and it has so far failed to issue an official unqualified apology for the survivors of the residential schools.
Reconciliation cannot happen until there is an acknowledgement from the Government of Canada that first nations peoples suffered and continue to suffer from the legacy of those horrific actions, which, in the words of survivors, included being beaten for speaking their language, being torn away from their families, living in isolation from their communities and traditions, and, because of their vulnerability, they often were victims of sexual molestation. In the worst cases, children died in unexplained circumstances and were buried in unmarked graves.
I have spent a great deal of time as an MPP and an MP working with first nations communities. Most recently, my work has taken me to My Sister's Place in London which serves many first nations women. One sister from the Six Nations community told the story of the residential schools. They called it the "Mush Pit" because it was a place where children were literally destroyed. She talked about one disabled child, a child who could not walk and needed crutches but there were no crutches. The child was left unable to get around. One day a woman went to the woods nearby to find a stick for her friend so she could at least manage to get around the school but she was beaten for doing that. She was beaten for interfering. The child was left defenceless and finally was thrown into the cellar underneath the stairwell. She was down there for many days. She cried, wailed and pleaded to be let out but then she just disappeared. There was no real explanation about the disappearance and, clearly, no concern. A child had disappeared and her family was told that she had run away. A child who could not even walk had run away and no one seemed to be all that concerned.
That is the legacy we live with. For those children who did return home, they were strangers to their parents and to the customs and traditions that are the strength of first nations communities. No wonder there is still so much despair. To our great shame, we have done so little to make up for the sins and abuses of the past.
The government had the opportunity in the past two years to correct a great wrong but instead ignored the advice of the extensive consultations and did not consult on the actual legislation that we see before us today.
I would like to read from the Native Women's Association of Canada peoples' report entitled, "Reclaiming Our Way of Being: Matrimonial Real Property Solutions". I would like to read from this report because it is important for the voices of first nations women to be heard in this House. I do hope that parliamentarians are listening to those voices. The report states:
Violence is the single most important issue facing Aboriginal women today. NWAC knows that violence against Aboriginal women can take many forms, including violence in the home, violence in relationships, and violence on the streets. Statistics Canada has reported that Aboriginal women are more than three times more likely to be the victim of spousal violence than other women in Canada.
The report goes on to state:
There are many stories about abuse on the reserve, women are stuck in homes of misery.
The experience of violence affects not only the woman and her children, but also her family and her community. One woman described this cycle:
"Generations to generations; I am a survivor of a mother that had to run away, all the way to the city of Toronto, take her five kids and move there for domestic violence as she was scared for her life. She was chased out of her house and out of her community and I see that".
Violence against Aboriginal women is compounded by the lack of understanding and utter indifference from community members, service providers and society in general.
Another survivor said:
Even if we get something big, wonderful, all encompassing beautiful document that's going to help us forever, how do you enforce it, especially in the isolated communities? Hey, you've got a gun at your head and there's no police around you, what do you do? You take off and you leave. So I mean the enforcement to me has to be well thought out and we have to have the cooperation of the justice systems in this.
Another said:
When my marriage broke down I felt like I had no where to go and no one to guide me.
There should be some type of transitional houses on reserves… this would enable members to stay in their communities.
The report goes on to state:
Many participants talked about the lack of policing in First Nations communities. Women spoke of situations where they had asked law enforcement personnel for assistance, but were unable to get help.
Another survivor stated:
But the fact that we don't have help, not only just with family law, but in a lot of areas on reserve, in reserve life there are no laws.
There is no authority right now, he can walk in and beat her up whenever he wants and that is how it is.

Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, each year since 2005, the Pedal for Hope team has cycled 1,000 kilometres through Peterborough, Haliburton and Northumberland counties in Ontario to raise funds for pediatric cancer research.
Founded by Constable John Townsend of the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service, the team is comprised entirely of police officers with one notable exception.
Today, I am pleased to welcome from the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service: Constable John Townsend, Sergeant Mark Habgood, Sergeant Tim Farquharson, Sergeant Mark Elliott, Constable Lindsey Wallwork, Constable Keith Calderwood and Auxillary Constable Scott Masters. From the Ontario Provincial Police we have Sergeant Gerry Smith and Constable Dave McNab, and from the RCMP we have Constable Rick Allen and NHL alumni John Druce.

Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, I, along with thousands of Canadians, celebrated the 60th anniversary of Israel's statehood at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto. Generations stood together to support Israel and its people. Together we celebrated the remarkable accomplishments of Israel.
As the Liberal leader said recently:
Since its official establishment in 1948, Israel has not only inspired the international community with its commitment to democracy and freedom, it has enriched our world with its vibrant culture and traditions.
Canada's longstanding friendship and support for Israel is unwavering.
Israel has a fundamental right to exist in a secure and peaceful Middle East. Canada, as always, stands with Israel against threats to its existence. May it go from strength to strength.
Yves Michaud

Réal Ménard Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to sincerely congratulate the Mouvement d'éducation et de défense des actionnaires, a shareholder advocacy group, and its president, Yves Michaud, on winning the opening round against the very powerful Power Corporation.
Recently, the Superior Court of Quebec ruled in Mr. Michaud's favour, stating that shareholders of a company have the right to be informed not only of that company's financial details, but also of those of the company's subsidiaries and other corporate entities. According to the decision, each company must keep these records at its headquarters and make them available to all shareholders.
The lawsuit began in May 2006 when Mr. Michaud asked Power Corporation for permission to consult Gesca's financial statements. When the company refused to disclose the information, Mr. Michaud took the matter to court. Last Friday, he attended Power Corporation's annual general meeting to learn more, but to no avail.
I know Mr. Michaud, and I know that he will continue the fight. Congratulations on this first victory.

Peggy Nash Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, in the city of Toronto, swimming pools are threatened with closure because of a lack of school board funding. I have joined with the community to protest because we cannot sit by and let this happen.
Our parents and grandparents built these pools in much leaner times and it defies logic that, when our country is wealthier than ever, we cannot find the funds to maintain them.
The Canadian Ministry of Health website recommends swimming as an excellent activity for health promotion. We know it develops coordination, fitness and confidence. It helps prevent obesity and is therapeutic for seniors. Knowing how to swim saves lives. A swim program is a better crime prevention tool than the law and order crackdown by the government.
We need more than a website to promote public health. We need federal funding. Rather than reduce our fiscal capacity with tax cuts to very profitable corporations, we need to invest in our people and communities.
I have introduced a motion calling for federal funds for sports infrastructure, such as soccer fields, cycling paths, and swimming pools. Let us use our common sense as a country to invest in the resources that will help our children develop to the best of their ability and help everyone stay fit and healthy.
Volunteer Firefighters
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, during the last few weeks, I had the privilege of attending events honouring the service of volunteer firefighters in my riding. The ceremonies for Keswick Ridge and Bath fire departments highlight why volunteerism is a fundamental part of healthy communities.
These firefighters give much of their time in order to help our families in times of need. They take training courses so they can deliver better quality service in any emergency situation.
This contribution is shared by volunteer members and their families who support the many hours of effort it takes to be the best they can be.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Chief LeBlanc of Keswick Ridge and Chief Armour of Bath and all the fire chiefs in the region for their leadership. I also want to congratulate Clarence Coffey and Greg Gilmore for their long service to the Keswick Ridge Department and to Roy Demerchant of Bath for his 46 years of service before retirement.
On behalf of the good people of Tobique--Mactaquac, I would like to thank the firefighters for undertaking the very important work that makes our rural communities a safer place to live, work and raise a family.
Cycle to Walk

Larry Bagnell Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, great Canadians Rich Hanson and Terry Fox embarked on epic cross-Canada fundraising journeys. On April 12, a third young Canadian hero, Ramesh Ferris, legs crippled with polio, started his cross-Canada crusade.
Millions of children around the world, and shockingly 11% of Canadians, are not vaccinated and could be crippled for life if we stand by and do nothing.
For only 60¢, the cost of a quarter cup of coffee, we could prevent a life of misery for a child in Nigeria, India, Pakistan or Afghanistan. We could help wretched souls, who have had to crawl around in the dirt and mud for their entire lives, to now stand and walk for the first time.
This is why this courageous young man started from Whitehorse and Victoria to a hero's welcome. This is why I want all members to welcome him with a hero's welcome when he arrives in their community and give generously to cycletowalk.com to eradicate polio from the face of the earth.

Betty Hinton Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, BC
Mr. Speaker, Mr. John Babcock, our last known first world war veteran, became a Canadian citizen today at a ceremony at his home in Spokane, Washington. This is in recognition of his military service to Canada and his expressed desire, at age 107, to become a citizen of the country where he was born. The hon. Minister of Veterans Affairs is in Spokane today to witness Mr. Babcock taking his oath of citizenship.
Mr. Babcock's contribution to our collective understanding of the first world war experience is immeasurable. He is well known across Canada and the United States for his humour, his storytelling and his energy, which he credits to his training in the army.
He has shared his experience with youth in schools to ensure that the contribution of those who served their country is remembered for all time. Mr. Babcock is our last personal connection to a remarkable generation of Canadian heroes. As he said this morning, "I was born in Canada and now I am a Canadian. This completes the circle of my life".
Welcome back, Mr. Babcock.
René Laurin

Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to inform the House that a former member, the current mayor of Joliette, René Laurin, was awarded the Quebec National Assembly medal.
Mr. Laurin received this recognition for his achievements as mayor of Joliette. Those achievements include the opening of the Rina-Lasnier library, and the redevelopment of the downtown area and Manseau Boulevard, the city's main artery. He also does an outstanding job in his role at the regional level, and his leadership and dynamic nature are positively infectious. He was chosen as the 2007 personality of the year by the Lanaudière newspaper L'Action.
He is known for his love of arts and culture, and under his initiative, the city of Joliette has forged partnerships with the major institutions of our region, including the Joliette art museum and the International Festival of Lanaudière.
René Laurin served as the member for Joliette in the House of Commons from 1993 to 2000 in the Bloc Québécois caucus. He is a patriot in every sense of the word and, in my own name and on behalf of my colleagues, I would like to congratulate him on this well-deserved honour.
Bravo, René.
Irena Sendler

Peter Goldring Edmonton East, AB
Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to a remarkable woman who touched the lives of over 2,500 people while unselfishly risking her own. At the age of 98 Irena Sendler passed away yesterday in Warsaw, Poland.
During World War II Irena led an underground Polish group that rescued 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto during the Holocaust. She was honoured for her bravery as the 2003 winner of the Jan Karski award for valour and courage and then was nominated for the Nobel peace prize.
Last month the Prime Minister visited Auschwitz. In the museum's book of remembrance he wrote:
We are witness here to the vestiges of unspeakable cruelty, horror and death. Let us never forget these things and work always to prevent their repetition.
On behalf of the Government of Canada, I offer my deepest condolences to Irena Sendler's family and to all who were forever impacted by her generosity and selflessness.
Science Fair

May 13th, 2008 / 2:05 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Cardigan, PE
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise in this chamber today to commend five students from the province of Prince Edward Island on their accomplishments in the field of science. Brandon Doyle, Daniel Larson, Emily Ross, Simon Trivett and Rebecca Wolfe are in Ottawa this week participating in the Canada-wide science fair.
This national fair, presented by the Youth Science Foundation Canada, is a showcase of our nation's brightest young minds. This fair will focus attention on the commitment of our nation's young people to science and technology and as such, it is an opportunity for us to celebrate the imagination and innovation of Canadian youth.
I would like to congratulate these five young Islanders, as well as all participants from across the country, for their accomplishments.
I would ask all members of Parliament to join me in saluting this group of young students from across the nation as they are the next generation of great thinkers and trailblazers of science in Canada.
"Your Canada in 2050" Contest
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, what will Canada be like in 2050? What policies would improve our society so that it reflects our highest aspirations?
Young people in Lévis, Bellechasse and Les Etchemins entered the "Ton Canada en 2050" contest and answered these fascinating questions.
The members of the jury were impressed by the creativity and energy of these secondary students and the teachers who got involved.
Today, we welcome to the Hill more than 70 students from École Marcelle-Mallette in Lévis who entered the contest. They include Clara Turcotte, whose entry focuses on social commitment, Justine Bernier-Blanchette, who talks about research and development, and Josée Turmel, who wants to eliminate the use of plastic bags.
I want to congratulate all of the students and thank them for taking part in the contest. I am very proud of them. With young people like them, who may one day take our place, Canada is in good hands.
World Food Crisis
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, no issue in recent memory has risen as dramatically in the public's consciousness as food security. Literally, within a matter of weeks, Canadians everywhere have started to talk anxiously about the world food crisis. And it is indeed a crisis.
The issues that are affecting the supply, and hence the cost, of food right now are creating the perfect storm. The rising oil prices, collapse in food stocks, price increases driven by speculators, market concentration within the food system, climate change, the world's population increase, and the new emphasis on biofuels, all have combined to create global food scarcity.
Many of these problems are systemic and they will not go away unless we, as politicians, turn our minds to addressing the fundamentals. We just recently had one such opportunity when enabling legislation for biofuels was before this House. Only the NDP voted against the bill, not because we do not support energy alternatives to petroleum but because the legislation gives the government a blank cheque to feed cars instead of people.
The bill will come back to the House for a final vote. I urge members to reconsider their support. The world food crisis should give all of us food for thought.

Optimum Polish II
is the most versatile, effective, and easy to use polish you will ever use! It can be used as a light compound, swirl mark remover, or a finishing polish, depending on your choice of buffing pad and speed of the buffer. It works quickly to remove (not hide) swirl marks, scratches, and other blemishes, while creating a perfect shine on all types of paint. It can be used with any type of buffing pad or buffing machine.
Optimum Polish II
has excellent workability on painted surfaces and will not clog buffing pads. Aggressive enough for paint correction and swirl removal, yet the shine, clarity, and gloss of the paint left behind requires only final protection.
When using a wool buffing pad,
Optimum Polish II
will remove 1500 sand scratches and lighter at 1000-1400 RPM. Faster buffer speed is not needed with this product. When using a light cut foam pad at 1000-1400 RPM the polish will remove 2000 and lighter sand scratches on most paint surfaces. A final finishing foam pad will remove swirl marks at 1000-1400 RPM.
Always use enough product to create a barrier between the buffing pad and the paint surface. Wipe off residue by misting
Optimum Car Wax
on it and wiping it with a microfiber towel for a streak-free perfect finish. Can be used by hand or with an orbital or high-speed buffer. This product contains no silicone or wax. Both

I can't believe Nintendo Japan don't care about us at all. Nintendo also has an Australian headquarters here, but I guess that's nothing compared to Nintendo Japan.

Proust + Vermeer
(Dir. Richard Voorhees, 30 mins., in French with English subtitles)
Arguably the greatest French writer of the 20th century, Marcel Proust was a huge admirer of Vermeer, and he wove many observations about the painter into his novel À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time, or Remembrance of Things Past) Some are laughable and some profound.
In Swann's Way, published exactly 100 years ago, Proust begins innocently enough, with a title character intermittently writing an essay on Vermeer. Over time, everyone in Swann's world becomes at least passingly familiar with the painter, and Proust pokes fun at some of the misconceptions these characters have about the mysterious 17th-century Dutch artist. In the end, though, when Proust's character Bergotte leaves his sick bed in order to go see The View of Delft, Vermeer's genius becomes the catalyst for some of Proust's highest and most moving drama.
All Vermeer's known works are featured in this half-hour Proustian tour de force.

Looking Beneath the Surface: Dutch Art and Meaning in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer
Kate Lusheck, Assistant Professor of Art History/Arts Management (University of San Francisco) and a specialist in 17th-century Northern Baroque art, discusses issues of artistic meaning, representation, and tradition in the paintings and prints of the Dutch Golden Age. In what new ways and why did Dutch artists often mirror or imitate the world around them in works of art? Are there other meanings we might find behind or beneath the surface? And how does Dutch art relate to local history and culture in a time of war, local prosperity, and widespread global trade and art collecting?

"I only drink champagne on two occasions: when I am in love and when I am not. "
Searching for steelhead
These giant sea-run rainbow trout are the glamour fish of the American West Coast.
During the 1960s, when Sean Gallagher was 16, his mother took him fishing for steelhead on the Skagit River in northern Washington State, on the Canadian border. In the young Gallagher—now a retired teacher living in the shadow of Mount Rainier—the experience ignited a passionate pursuit of the giant sea-run rainbow trout.
This spring, all these decades later, found him making his way stealthily along secretive elk trails through the emerald rainforest of the Pacific Northwest, to favorite runs of water cascading from glacial peaks. There he hopes to discover just one wild steelhead ready to take his fly. Although the runs of fish in familiar streams have diminished over the years, his enthusiasm has not.
You can fish these same waters. Unlike Atlantic salmon rivers in, say, Iceland or Scotland, which are privately owned, steelhead rivers on the West Coast of North America are public. All you need are a state or provincial fishing license, a pair of Gore-Tex waders and a waterproof jacket, and you're ready to go.
The term steelhead "fly" is used loosely; what does the trick is a relatively small hook adorned with pink or orange feathers and fur, teased deeply through the current about as fast as a human can walk at a comfortable pace, where the outsized fish are imagined to be holding. Once in freshwater, steelhead cease requiring food, so their reaction is likely reflexive: inhale to live.
When Sean Gallagher first began fishing for steelhead, 50 years ago, he used bait, mostly salmon eggs cured in a brine of salt and Borax. That was the traditional way. It was also the way to catch the most fish—and over the years, Gallagher has caught thousands.
Now the most is no longer his motivation. The old steelheader casts for memories. These days, he is content to sit back against a huge cedar tree that has been growing for centuries, sink into the deep carpet of green moss and watch the river go by, some days green and sparkling in the spring sunshine, some days gray in the rainswept light.
What is a steelhead?
Clark Gable was thrilled when the first steelhead he ever hooked on Oregon's Rogue River jumped 11 times. Bing Crosby and Herbert Hoover were captivated by this mystery fish, which was bent on pulling the bucking rod out of their hands. "All trout are beautiful," wrote Zane Grey. "But this one of the sea species seemed more than beautiful."
What on earth is a steelhead? Simply, it's a rainbow trout that grows to gargantuan proportions in the ocean. After hatching in the clean, freshwater gravel of a rushing stream, it spends the next two to three years dodging birds and mammals and fishes that want to eat it, all the while putting on inches by devouring insects and protein-packed salmon eggs in season. Then one spring day, weighing ounces and as long as your finger, it flees downstream and out into the Pacific Ocean. It swims just under its surface, circling a massive current called the Alaskan gyre in search of multicolored squid, silvery shoals of herring and tasty mackerel.
One day the evolutionary switch goes on and it begins heading for home, to one of hundreds of coastal rivers stretching from California to Alaska. It is now a magnificent, hard-bodied marine creature, sheathed in chrome, blushed with pink.
Adult steelhead returning to spawn typically weigh four to 18 pounds. The record is 42 pounds. Oncorhynchus mykiss—Russian explorers named it more than two centuries ago in Kamchatka—is anadromous, from the Greek meaning "running from the sea." —T.P.
If you want to catch a steelhead
Steelhead migrate up West Coast rivers nearly every month of the year, but are broadly defined by when they enter freshwater as summer-run (June through October) and winter-run (December through April). The fresher the fish, the harder they fight.
To try your luck at Gold River on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, fly into Campbell River Airport and stay at the luxurious new Lodge at Gold River. (The $475/night double, $575/night single European-plan rates include transportation from the airport.) A raft trip with a guide, gear and lunch costs $350 and heli-fishing to wilderness rivers runs $1,850 per day (based on three guests).

For a Quinault River adventure on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, stay at Lake Quinault Lodge, a classic built of ancient logs in 1926. Fly into Sea-Tac International Airport (three-hour drive) or Bowerman Airport in Hoquiam, Washington (must arrange for transportation to lodge, 45 minutes away).

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Behind the Scenes PhotosAbout the Author: Nora Toiv serves in the Office of the Secretary of State.
Last week, I accompanied Secretary Clinton on her visit to Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was my second time traveling with the Secretary – and my first time in Africa – and I was lucky enough to explore Kinshasa for a few hours.
Steve Kenoyer, a political officer at the U.S. Embassy, drove me through parts of the city I never would have seen on my own. Driving down dirt roads brought me face to face with the realities of life in Kinshasa. The crowded, narrow roads had open sewers and trash strewn everywhere -- I could only imagine what washed into people homes when it rained. The neighborhood was alive and bustling with people selling food and other goods.
Steve brought me to a beautiful art gallery coupled with a souvenir shop. Owned by a German couple, the outdoor gallery displayed paintings by local Congolese artists. Beyond the locked gate, the gallery was housed in a beautiful garden. Watching peacocks strut by, I almost forgot I was in a city still recovering from a brutal dictatorship. Many people struggle with basic needs in the Congo, but art and culture still flourish.
After looking around the gallery, we headed to the residence of the former Congolese president, Mobutu Sese Seko. His shadow can still be seen throughout the city, from his childhood home to the gigantic tower he built to show off Kinshasa to visiting dignitaries. We passed a statue Mobuto had built in honor of former Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. It was just another reminder of what the Congolese people have survived.
I never thought I would visit the Congo. Throughout Secretary Clinton's trip, she said: "We believe in Africa's promise. We are committed to Africa's future. And we will be partners with Africa's people." I am proud to be part of her effort to forge new partnerships and create new opportunities. I hope one day I have the chance to see Kinshasa again.
David in Texas writes:
Secretary Clinton is doing a marvelous job of representing all of the American people and in trying to provide support and encouragement in the poverty/war torn parts of Africa. We certainly support and ADMIRE her efforts.
Miki in U.S.A. writes:
Thanks for sharing this...
Aime A. in the United Kingdom writes:
I am a Congolese but holding a British nationality at the moment. I have leaved in England since 1990 and I studied commercial music at the University of Westminster for a B.A degree. I was always been involved in music and culture since I was in Kinshasa. Through those pictures above I would like to say that I am so pleased to see that Congolese arts and culture has survived the terrible dark moment in Congo. I have established an arts agency in the the U.K since 2001 and I always look to work on arts and cultural projects in Congo with international partners.

Award-winning actress and super mom Marcia Gay Harden opens up.
Thirty seconds into a conversation with Marcia Gay Harden, it's obvious which of her current roles�she enjoys the most: playing mom to daughter Eulala, 15, and twins Hudson and Julitta, 10. The Oscar-winning actress for the 2000 film Pollock, who turns 55 next month, takes time off in July to travel with her brood to the Catskills in upstate New York, where they take part in the simple joys of summer. �It is as if I am trying to create a Norman Rockwell painting because that is childhood to me,� says the La Jolla, Calif.-born Harden. Mom has become a recurrent role for Marcia onscreen, too. Just this�month, she�s appearing as Emma Stone�s mother in Woody Allen�s Magic in the Moonlight, and even plays the matriarch in 2015�s sultry Fifty Shades of Grey. The star of ABC�s Trophy Wife (cancelled after its first season) and HBO�s The Newsroom says her new film marked a career goal. �It�s a bucket list thing to be in a Woody Allen film, to see how he works, how he will use you,� Marcia says. Read on to find out Marcia�s attitude on aging�and dating�and how she stays healthy. Spry Living: Do you have a summer ritual? I have property on a lake�we have a canoe, kayaks, a raft and a dock slide. We call it Blueberry Hill, and in July, we gather blueberries and make jam. Now, all the kids now know how to do it. We water ski on the lake and camp down at the bonfire. The crickets are out, the lightning bugs. SL: What�s the best health advice you�ve ever received? Stop smoking. Sometimes I have to pick up a smoke, like in Magic in the Moonlight, and I start back up again. But right now, I�m off cigarettes, and I pray that I will stay off them. SL: How do you deal with stress? I�ve found at this age that you just don�t get to a place where there are no problems. When work heats up, that creates a thousand problems, because you�re so busy. When work is on the downhill slope, whoops, that�s another problem. You always have to have one foot on the brake and one on the gas pedal. SL: Do you have a favorite workout? I�m a mover; I move all day long. I like engaging in things: riding my bike, playing volleyball, swimming, water skiing. I like adventure� that�s my favorite workout. SL: How do you feel about dating? My kids are my No. 1 focus, so dating is a different thing. I enjoy going out, but I have yet to meet the person who would sweep me off my feet. SL: Has your philosophy about aging gracefully changed? It has to do with attitude as much as looks. We want to stay youthful in opinions and in our acceptance of new ideas. But if I have a philosophy, it is based on women who accomplish things, who are strong and business-minded, like Rosie the Riveter. We can do it, and why shouldn�t we?

LeBlanc leads the nation in assists and is tied for fifth in scoring.
A math education major from Hermantown, LeBlanc is among 10 finalists competing for college hockey's top honor, which is named for Hobart Baker (1892-1918), a Princeton University graduate, amateur hockey star and World War 1 pilot. The award is determined by fan balloting and the insights of a 23-member selection committee.

On September 15, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta joined their Australian counterparts, Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd and Defense Minister Stephen Smith, to celebrate 60 years of the U.S.-Australia Alliance in San Francisco, California.
Secretary Clinton said, "We have come to San Francisco to celebrate 60 years of the U.S.-Australia alliance in the place where it was born. Here at the Presidio Golden Gate Club back in 1951, in the month of September, our predecessors signed the treaty that cemented the ties between our nations. Today, we reflect on that history, celebrate the vision of those who brought our alliance to life, and chart a common path forward together. And as we announced earlier this week, President Obama will be visiting Australia in November to commemorate this important milestone and to advance our alliance.
"For 60 years now, each new global challenge has brought with it a new cause for cooperation with Australia and an ever stronger partnership grounded in our shared values. And that is exactly what happened 10 years ago. When America was attacked on September 11th, just days after the 50th anniversary of our alliance, Australia invoked the treaty to come to our defense.
"In the decade since, Australia's men and women have fought alongside our own, just as they have in every major conflict since the First World War. In Afghanistan, Australia is the largest non-NATO contributor to our mission. In Libya, Australia now provides 10 percent of the international humanitarian budget. So from cyberspace to food security, Australia makes vital contributions to global security, stability, and well-being. And we greatly appreciate their efforts.
"As Pacific powers, the United States and Australia are committed to working together to seize the opportunities of a fast-changing Asia-Pacific region. Our alliance has provided a context for the region's dynamic economic growth by underwriting peace and security and promoting trade and prosperity. The detailed joint communique we are releasing today reflects the full range of our shared interests, values, and vision from maritime cooperation to joint development projects to building stronger ties with India to promote democracy and prosperity in the Pacific Islands.
"We are working to encourage trade through the Trans-Pacific Partnership and through APEC, whose leaders the President will be hosting this fall in Hawaii. Together, we are strengthening regional institutions like the East Asia Summit and ASEAN. And as Secretary Panetta will explain, our military relationship is deepening and becoming even more consequential.
"One country of particular shared concern is Burma. In recent weeks, we have seen some welcome gestures from Burma's Government. It's important for us and for others to try to understand better what is unfolding in Burma today. Our new special representative and policy coordinator for Burma, Ambassador Derek Mitchell, has just returned from his first visit to the country, one that included productive meetings with both the government and Aung San Suu Kyi.
"Frankly, we have serious question and concerns across a wide range of issues, from Burma's treatment of ethnic minorities and more than 2,000 prisoners to its relations with North Korea. Still, we welcome the fact that the Burmese Government has launched a dialogue with Aung Sun Suu Kyi and begun to speak of the need for important reforms. But just yesterday, Burma added 10 years to a prison sentence of a 21-year-old journalist. So I would urge the Burmese Government to follow its words and commitments with concrete actions that lead to genuine reform, national reconciliation, and respect for human rights.
"The ties between our nations are as close as any in the world. Our peoples and our governments overwhelmingly support our partnership. And although Australians have taken over the Oscars, the Tour de France, and now the U.S. Open, our affection for your country remains undiminished. The communique we have produced today is forward-looking and action-oriented, and it reflects our confidence in this alliance and in what our two countries can and will accomplish together.
"So today we celebrate 60 years of a strong, steady alliance. We honor those who fought and sacrificed to sustain it, and we recommit ourselves to continue to work closely together as allies and friends to make good on its full promise for many years to come."

Nautilus belauensis
Nautilus belauensis, also known as the Palau nautilus, is a species of nautilus native to the waters around the Pacific island nation of Palau.[1] N. belauensis is very similar to Nautilus pompilius and shares with this species a closed umbilicus covered with a callus. It differs on the basis of a modified radula and fine raised ridges across and along the shell, which form a cross-grid texture. N. belauensis is the second-largest nautilus after the giant form of N. pompilius pompilius. The shell is usually up to around 210 mm in diameter, although specimens up to 226 mm have been recorded.[2]

Safe roof painting without a ladder
When Club member Nicholas Clew of Farmington Hills, Michigan, decided to paint his house, he faced a challenge. To reach the upper portion of his home�s walls, he�d need to stand on part of the roof. Of course, the roof lacked a flat surface on which to set equipment or raise a ladder. Nick solved the dilemma by constructing this platform from 2x4s and 3/4-in. plywood. With foam pads tacked to the undersides, the platform not only provides a firm, level work surface but also helps to reduce the stress on the shingles because Nick spends far less� time walking on them.

A few months ago, GTBank re-designed their website and when we first sighted it, we noted it only for it to be taken down some hours later. It turned out that they were still testing it at that time.
University of Lagos' website is currently showing a re-designed home page right now and when we first spotted it, we thought it was being tested. However, few days after, it has not been taken down. That in itself is not exactly new but the fact that every other page apart from the homepage is still sporting their old look is what is baffling us.
If you will re-design your website, wouldn't you do a full scale top-down overhaul rather than a one-page-make over.
Whoever is in charge of the UNILAG website obviously needs to be reminded that UNILAG is supposed to be a world-class institution (even if we know it is not there yet), therefore its online image is not something that you toy with. Putting up a home page re-design is definitely a good way to let the world how 'competent' you are. If they are trying to get popular opinion about a new design, they could simply have put that on a sub-domain or directory and ask for people's opinion but not by putting up a half-done page.
I took the liberty of checking out the company behind it (mooreadvice) and it turns out that they have a very well designed web presence so why can't they simply replicate that for the great university. I wonder why the project was outsourced in the first place when the school owns one of the best IT units in Nigerian universities. It simply means that the University itself doesn't believe in the capability of CITS to handle such a project.
At this point, there are already several other questions burning in my mind but I will ask just one – what is the job of IT units in Nigerian universities (apart from being reputed for having the tallest height)?
