And the compliments keep rolling in...
"When I first got these shoes, I was taken aback by how oliveish they looked. However, the colors are still so natural that it looks great dressed up or casual. Both women and men are often stopping me to tell me that they like my shoes. I'm considering getting the gray colored version next!"

Really Perfect
"These shoes are awesome and here's why: they have a sturdy, comfortable sole - the footbed is padded and the chunky heel looks much higher than it feels - very comfortable and easy to walk in. The toe box is roomy, but the shoe doesn't look wide on your foot - the toe looks narrow and chic. The BEST PART, by far, is that even though the shoes are made of synthetic leather, the sole of the shoe is genuine leather! Which means you can wear them barefoot all day without sweating and slipping. The overall appearance of the shoe is so cute, polished and unique - at this price, anyone would be a fool to pass these up!"

"Absolutely in-love with this shoe! It's comfortable to walk in all day. It really gives that traditional English style that dresses up anything you wear. I have received so many compliments every time I wear these. I wish they came in more colors. I would so buy another pair."

Guides & Articles
- TPMS SensorsTPMS Repair Tools And Add-On KitsStarting in the early 2000s, vehicle manufacturers began to phase in Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) on new vehicles. By the year 2008, it was required by law to be standard equipment on 100% of the new light-duty vehicles sold in the U.S.December 20, 2016
- Caliper CoversWhy Are Caliper Covers Only Available For My Front Brakes?When it comes to creating the right look for your car or truck, a shimmering set of wheels can do more to make or break its appearance than almost any other accessory. The flip side of the coin is when you stand back and look at that new set of custom rims, you suddenly realize brake hardware that used to be hidden is now completely visible - especially disc brake calipers, which tend to discolor and tarnish over time.December 01, 2016
- Factory WheelsReplica Alloy Wheels Look Great, Save You MoneyIf you've come to this article, odds are you already understand how much the appearance and condition of your wheels can make or break the look of your entire vehicle. And when we say wheels, we don't just mean high-dollar aftermarket rims with huge diameters and custom finishes. We mean original equipment (OE) ones too.September 09, 2016
- TPMS SensorsNew TPMS Sensors | The Best Choice With Your New Wheels & TiresTire Pressure Monitoring System sensors (TPMS sensors) are fitted in place on the inner surface of your wheel, inside your tire. Attached to that sensor is a valve stem that protrudes outside the tire for the purposes of adding air. A built-in pressure detector monitors tire inflation at all times when the vehicle's ignition is on. That pressure detector has its own battery and transmitter which relays information to the car's main computer. Vehicle control systems read input from all four tires, and will alert the driver via a warning light if the pressure in any one of them drops 25% or more below a pre-determined level. The idea is to give a driver an "early warning" if any tires are low, so that the tire pressures can be corrected.August 17, 2016
- Fender FlaresNo-drill Fender Flares are So Easy to Install!Have you ever seen another truck like yours and thought, "It looks the same as mine, but more…rugged"? And after a moment of reflection, the answer finally came to you why. The other vehicle was equipped with fender flares, and yours wasn't. Yes, there's a reason automakers fit fender flares on top-trim versions of their cars and trucks at the factory. It's because they can serve as elegant-looking pieces that make your vehicle look more expensive, or as more robust ones that add well-toned, muscular definition, without great cost or complexity. Because we understand just how much they add to a vehicle, we offer a great selection of fender flares. And regardless of what you opt for, fender flares can be left their original color (usually black), or they can be easily custom painted to blend in or contrast as desired.July 07, 2016
- Caliper CoversHow To Install Caliper CoversIf you've fitted a set of aftermarket wheels on your car or truck, you've probably noticed how they show off everything behind them in a way your OEM ones simply couldn't. Your factory brake calipers are now suddenly visible to the world, and odds are they do not live up to the high standards of crisp visual appeal your new wheels and tires have set. Or you may have a nice set of factory wheels which expose the brake hardware, and it's a look that you feel could stand some improvement.July 04, 2016
- TPMS SensorsWhat Is The History Of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems?Tire pressure monitoring systems ("TPMS") are integrated assemblies that include sensors in the tire stems, and they exist for the purpose of warning a driver when the air pressure in any of their tires has dropped to an unsafe level. To do this, pressure detectors are fitted on the part of the stem that sits inside the tire. Those pressure detectors each have their own battery and transmitter which relay information to the car's main computer. A normal-looking stem protrudes outside the tire for the purposes of adding air, and looks indistinguishable from traditional valve stems that don't have pressure sensors.April 29, 2016

- Wheel SpacersThe Trick Way To Determine What Size Wheel Spacer You NeedLet's say that you're in the market for wheel spacers. Whether it's because you've added jumbo brakes, sprung for a set of custom wheels, or just want to widen your car's stance (the VIP look), you've concluded that spacers are going to do the trick for you, and will solve your fitment dilemma.August 17, 2015

You've seen the look, and whether you like it or not is totally beside the point. The great thing about this stanced look is that it gets your attention. From the interviews we've read with owners and drivers of these machines, that is exactly what they are after. They've said that it's all about being noticed.March 18, 2015

- Lug Nuts & LocksLug Nuts and Locks Dress Up And Protect Your WheelsIf you are upgrading from a set of factory wheels to custom alloy wheels, your original equipment lug nuts will be exposed and visible when you make the change. Once shiny, but now covered with rust, grease and dirt, the old nuts may have been fine when hidden behind wheel covers. But once you're rolling on new rims, the dingy look of old lug nuts just won't cut it anymore. In this article, we'll discuss replacement lug nut kits found in the Lug Nuts & Locks section of our website. They'll cover you with good looks, and at the same time will eliminate the threat of wheel theft.February 19, 2015

- Custom WheelsCustom Wheels 101To get the proper wheel for your car or truck, the wheel must have the right combination of wheel dimensions. Just as the sleeve length on a shirt or the inseam on a pair of pants has to be right for them to fit your body, your wheels have to be the right size for them to fit properly on your car or truck. This article will explain the various dimensions and how they are measured.July 03, 2012
- TiresThe Hidden Secrets of Tires.Tires are hiding lots of engineering secrets inside their black rubber casings, and the variations in tire builds are endless. Even the black rubber itself is full of high tech and carefully guarded secrets. Each component in the mix contributes a specific set of properties that the manufacturer wants in the finished tire. The hidden secrets of modern tires are very difficult to uncover even when the tires are worn out.May 06, 2012
- Custom WheelsAre Bigger Wheels Better Wheels?Replacing a standard size steel wheel with the same size of cast light alloy wheel improves performance and road-holding considerably, without any reduction in comfort. Further improvement in road-holding comes with increased wheel size, combined with a corresponding reduction in the height of the tire walls, a procedure called "Plus-Sizing".April 29, 2012
- TiresReplacing Your Original Factory Tires 101.If you are not satisfied with the way your car drives, get new tires of the same size and characteristics. Look at the side of the worn-out tire and make sure that your new tires have the same key dimensions and ratings. The tire sidewall not only proudly displays the name of the manufacturer, it also features three sets of codes that give you key information about the tire.April 23, 2012
- Custom WheelsWhat is Staggered Wheel Fitment?Staggered wheel fitment is a term for the rear wheels being bigger and/or wider than the front wheels. This only works on rear wheel drive cars, where the bigger rear wheels can put more power onto the pavement. Changes in the relationship of wheel dimensions between front and rear on a RWD car changes the balance of the vehicle.April 20, 2012
- Custom WheelsOriginal Wheels Not Good Enough?Many car enthusiasts fit custom wheels today. That is why there is a big market for lightweight custom wheels. Offering much more than just a look, they are available in a wide choice of designs, fitments and properties that cater to individual tastes and needs or car enthusiasts.April 19, 2012
- Custom WheelsThe Unique Process of How TSW Wheels Are Made.TSW wheels are one-piece cast wheels, made to the highest standards of manufacturing. The competition experience of TSW has led the company to focus on other aspects of wheel manufacture that produce more performance per dollar spent than the forging process does. This is why TSW cast wheels perform better than most forged custom wheels.April 10, 2012

Posted on 11/21/2012 4:48:25 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Rice says Benghazi comments based on preliminary intelligence Reuters 44 mins ago
Reuters/Reuters - U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.) Susan Rice speaks with the media after Security Council consultations at U.N. headquarters in New York June 7, 2012. REUTERS/Allison Joyce
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, defended on Wednesday her remarks after a September attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to the North African nation.
"When discussing the attacks against our facilities in Benghazi I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community," Rice told reporters at the United Nations.
"I made clear that the information provided to me was preliminary and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers," said Rice
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Rice is showing her devotion to her race. She is protecting the other Rice...and Obama.
Indeed, she hit us over the head with the idea that it was the video. Not that this a just a preliminary conclusion, but the definite one. Else why would Obama still be going with this ten days later?
Rice is a liar. And I don't care what color her skin tone is or what her genitals look like. She's still a liar.
susan rice...Stupid, incomptetent and boring and dangerous is no way to go through life....EXCEPT if you are an affirmative action Lib!
she told Bill Clinton not to go after BinLaden when she was Ambassador or some such thing to the Sudan.
I can believe she said what she was told to say./
Perhaps they told her it was the Video , and she was stupid enough to believe it. I can believe that.
Perhaps she was mislead, It is easy to mislead someone who wants to believe.
If she truly believed it was the Video, it is certifiable evidence of her incompetence.
I've got $100 that says Valerie is at the bottom of this.
they need to start a fifth branch of government dedicated to Obama Apologetics
where's the lying bitch alert
I find it ironic that Rice now claims bad info from the intelligence community as the excuse and the Dims are saying the critics are trying to lynch her over that. But remember the phrase "Bush lied and people died". That was from these same idiot Dims about what Bush and Powell said about Irag. Same type of situation, same excuse, same everything but now there is a black, democratic woman cliaming the excuse.
reminds me of a song.."Who's Lieing Now"...oh..sorry that was "Who's Crying Now" by Connie Francis..anyway I think it would make a great re do for this situation..I have lost count of all the lies about Benghazi
Reuters again.. They must've got their orders from the Whitehouse to put this out. Sycophants for Obama. Pitiful.
"They mustve got their orders from the Whitehouse to put this out."
Did you mean Shitehouse?
Are you claiming there is actually a Shitehouse Mouse? :^}
Don't QUOTE what she said, SHOW THE VIDEO SNIPPETS OF ALL 5 SUNDAY MORNING NEWS PROGRAMS BEFORE HER TESTIMONY. There was a certain 'certainty' in her voice that cannot be captured by merely quoting what she said before she testifies..
GOT IT, CONGRESS? I suppose we'll find out if her testimony is a dog and pony show.
Can we say "horsesh!t"!??
I knew you could!
Isn't it, "They must've gotten their orders.."??
Rice says Benghazi comments based on preliminary intelligence
How preliminary is 24 hours after the attack Susan????????
We are not all mindless Dem drones...
TIMELINE +0 to +7 hours, Rice. The rest is crap disinfo...
So now she's calling Petraeus a liar and Zippy himself said she didn't know anything about Benghazi, and he sent her out there. She's a useful idiot.
"I made clear that the information provided to me was preliminary and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers," said Rice
preliminary.?...5 days later?
We have come full circle. Back to " information provided to me... by the intelligence community."
That's their story and they are sticking to it.
BTW, here is Issa? I haven't heard from him since the hearings.
In other words, "I was just carrying the water for nobama. Get off my back. I didn't 'know' I was lying."
Yeah, right sweetie.
Exactly what nobama and his minions are hoping for. Obfuscation is the name of the game. And today people are so dumbed down (present company excepted, of course :) that it takes very little to be effective.
98% of Benghazi-gate is smoke, mirrors, bread and circuses. The remaining 2% are crimes, corruption and treasonous activities.
Obama's all aboutopenness when it comes to granting unprecedented and unwise civilian/hollywood access to special forces facilities to make a movie glorifying himself, but the story is quite different when it comes to transparency about his administration's decision to leave Americans undefended for months and finally abandoning them alone to die in a terrorist attack that was actually foreseen by the victims.

Tying these people down to anything they said is like nailing jello to the wall.
Unfortunately thanks of the foolishness of the American people we have them for the next 4 years.
Liar, Liar....your smelling panties are on fire!!!!
Lies to protect her pimp, odongo.
The UN is a hot bed of hatred by other third world dictatorships (America quickly become third world banana republic with the banana sitting in the oval orifice) directed mainly at the USA and Israel.
The CIA has become a pflummixed (Valerie Pflume, noted CIA operative for which Scooter Libby went to the slammer for nothing!) leftist think tank. The rest of this so-called intelligence and conglomerated agencies that are supposed to protect CONUS are utterly ridiculous and a detriment to us all.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin Out At Fox News Channel
Posted on 01/25/2013 2:19:04 PM PST by Nachum
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Fox News Channel are parting ways, according to a report in Real Clear Politics. After three years as a paid contributor for the channel, FNC and the former Republican vice presidential nominee have decided to cut ties.
A source close to Palin told Real Clear Politics that it was the governors decision not to renew their contract.
*Its my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement, the source close to Palin told RCP. She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
Not surprised. Fox News is pretty much has become center-left.
Good for her. I don't watch them anymore. Nothing there left to watch.
She's been pretty quiet anyway. Aside from a handful of tweets about abortion on twitter over the last few days.
I would imagine that ALL the MSM news channels will carry this tonight as it is an opportunity to "Gloat over the corpse" of what they think is Sarah Palin's dead career...
FreeRepublican CHANNEL would be great..!
Good. She is better than FOX
Cancel your cable, folks...defund the commies.
I haven't watched Fox since 2008 or by mistake in a hotel room here and there while on the road. It's all a joke now in terms of the LSM. FR and Rush are pretty much all I need.
I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Mrs. Palin over
the next few years.
Palin UNCHAINED!
I'm happy to hear it. Fox News only is too shackley.
Well....good for her. She probably sees Fox careening to the left like we all do.
Maybe she'll be freer to do and say other things now.
I dislike FoxNews almost as much as I do CNN. Good for Sarah!
I hope we do see more of her. The Demos hate her probably because she appeals to their low info crowd. We should have used her more during the campaign. She is a very talented asset.
I doubt it. Unless she teams up with Beck, nobody will be seeing Palin.
Without media attention, she is not going to have any voice.
You seem to get it. She is going to be seeking office you watch.
Good. She is better than FOX.
(...now I'm SURE I heard an echo echo.)
Hmmmm. Palin tells Fox "No thanks" and Cain tells Georgia "No thanks" on a senate run. I can only pray that these two have some great plans up their sleeves ;)
Of interest...who didn't see this coming?
I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Mrs. Palin over
the next few years.
Palin UNCHAINED!
Radio, or a show on Blaze, or to some speakers bureau are logical possibilities for the politically inclined, for whom want independence is a priority. Maybe something entirely different that improves her image beyond her base.
What happened to the residence in Phoenix, AZ. Is Bristol residing there still? Just wondering if that location means anything now. Perhaps a springboard, for convenience sake, to something new.
I may be one of the few, I agree with Palin on lots but when she quit as Gov. due to the "press" she quite being a viable candidate to me.
She can be a leader in many ways but not a candidate.
you may all now yell and flame me but, if you cant stand the attack press of ALASKA I have doubts about how you will fair in DC. (maybe as Senator as the one from there just went stupider)
Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, to start.
Conservatives with more than two active brain cells left FoxNews in 2007, when they swung to The Mulatto Messiah and the Left.
Palin is not going to be on the same panel as Dennis Kookcinich (a new Hire at FN), and she sees what we all have seen in the State-Run-Media, including FN.
The contract was probably for less. This is no victory for Palin. Even though there are those trying to pretend it is.
Palin has been out of the loop a long time now.
She's going to run for president in '16.
Fox news just wants to stick with Ted Baxter and Juan Williams types.
Now she won't have to sit and listen to the Corporate PC crap at Faux News! That stifle what she can and cannot say
The GOP and it's establishment is just as much our enemy as the Democrats are.
If you aren't convenience look up who has stood up to Ubama these past Four Years, the GOP or the Tea Party?
Enjoy Dennis Kucinich Suckers!
They just renewed with Carl Rove through 2016, and now this?
Same here, Fox News sucks.
Do we have to explain why again????
"...of what they think is Sarah Palins dead career..."
Palin doesn't look at politics/elective office / media comentary as a career. W'd all be better off if our elective office holders took the attitude of the citizen lawmaker.....
Their fixed it...:-)
I would hope so!
I love that!
Palin UNCHAINED!
Godspeed Sarah! She is centered and strong and I look forward to her continued leadership.
The question is, how much longer will Gore, with his newly-acquired hundreds of millions, buy THEM and offer THEM a slot?
I think you're right!
God bless and keep her!
You, too!
I agree, Trish.
GO Sarah!
Excellent! And somewhat expected. I'm glad to see Palin leave that sinking ship. FoxNews can be content with Rove and Kucinich, who seem a better fit, considering the putrid direction the network been heading.
Used to be a big viewer, but I'd just about entirely given up watching any of FoxNews anyway. I'd tune in for Palin appearances and occasionally keep an eye out for Michelle Malkin, but other than that, it's become worthless. After the 2010 mid-terms, it became an obnoxious mouthpiece for the GOP beltway elites, and since the election, it's apparently even jumped on the gun-control and open-border amnesty bandwagons!
"Palin has been out of the loop a long time now."
That is a good thing, as it is easier to effect change when not in someone's gun sights, figuratively speaking.
Agreed. It is apparent to me that she has not invested her time in becoming more informed. I wish her and her family well. She is great as a cheerleader, and I mean that positively, but she does not have gravitas. The media crucified Gingrich. I don't see her overcoming them in a campaign.
I hope you are right!
"I hope we do see more of her. The Demos hate her probably because she appeals to their low info crowd. We should have used her more during the campaign. She is a very talented asset."
Used her more? She should have ran and we should have told the MSM to mind their own business on who we want to nominate for President.
But alas, we didn't and we saw what the MSM gave us. John McCain lite.
I'm sorry but you are clueless!!! Sarah didn't resign because of the press, she resign because the democrats were trying to bankrupt her by filling frivilous and fake ethical charges against her. She said that the time to personally defend herself legally well over 20 charges and more that were coming was taking a toll on the state business. The Republicans there hated her and didn't want to come to her aid either. She sacrifice herself so that the State could move forward. You are embarrassing
Thanks, my friend
You and Dr. O, too

Hillary covers for Obama. Doesn't she make him look bad and herself look like a standup guy - even while taking precious little responsibility for what happened in Benghazi?
The president and the vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals... They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs."

PROVIDENCE – The University of Rhode Island is set to welcome students – including 3,650 new ones – back for the 2013-2014 academic year, The Associated Press reported last week.
The university announced last week that the new students include a freshman class of 3,100 and 550 transfer students.
Fifty percent of the new students are from out-of-state, with Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey contributing the most numbers of students after Rhode Island, the AP said.
URI said more students are focusing on fields in science and technology, with nursing, biological sciences, kinesiology and mechanical engineering among the top undergraduate majors.
The university says its overall projected enrollment includes 13,000 undergraduates and 3,000 graduate students. Classes begin Sept. 4. •

- About the brand
Developed by the beauty experts at Braun, this next-generation epilator gives you efficient epilation. A series of small tweezers rotate and grab onto your hair, removing it quickly and efficiently. Your skin will look and feel smooth for up to four weeks.
Model#: SE5180 / SKU: 000454
Before using, soften skin by bathing and dry your skin thoroughly. Avoid lotion of any sort because it will make your hair slippery and difficult for the epilator to catch. Rub your hair in the opposite direction of growth in order to make the hairs stand up, and test out the epilator on a piece of skin before you begin in order to get used to the sensation. When you're ready (remember: no pain, no gain!) place the epilator against your skin and move it in the opposite direction of hair growth (like shaving). The slower you go, the more hair the epilator will be able to remove. After one or a few strokes, you'll be hair-free for weeks to come.
Braun exceeds expectations from shaving to styling, winning a Red Dot Design Award and Men's Health Grooming Award for hair removal appliances. Our Braun selection includes shavers, epilators and trimmers guaranteed to please.
Amazing For Certain Areas: Hell For Others.When using this on your legs, you hardly feel any pain at all.. FAR less than waxing. (This is if you have rather thin hair, if you have thick hair and a lot of it... I recommend waxing first, Then the hairs that grow in after waxing to use this on them). But I do use it on my entire leg effortlessly.I must admit, though, the noise is extremely intimidating at first, ITS SO LOUD! But you get used to it.Now I was under the impression that you would be able to use this on your bikini line and underarms without horrific pain, but that proved to be sooo wrong. I tried to use this carefully and slowly on my bikini line: Hell. I wouldnt even go near my underarms. So im sticking with waxing for those. But it is absolutely amazing for legs!Nov 30, 2007J / Australia

PainfulMy daughter asked for an epilator last Christmas. The Emjoi she owned had broken and she wanted a new one. Afterreading the reviews on both products I settled on the Braun thinking she would be pleased. She tried it but said it was much more painful to use. This year Ill get her what she asked for.Nov 25, 2007Teresa / Louisiana

Excellent ValueI am very pleased with my purchase. I had considered going with a cheaper brand or model, but Im glad that I didnt. Contrary to what one review said, the cord is PLENTY long, and it doesnt really hurt once you get used to it. I even use it on my underarms & bikini line (carefully & slowly). The only down side is that hairs grow at different times and so you have to be willing to put up with a little stubble sometimes to get a really good job (either that or give in & shave). This is NOT a drawback of the product, however, only a drawback of having hair cells!I have zero complaints & I would definately recommend this product!Sep 25, 2007Cg / So. NH

Great, Cheap, Effective Solution For Bikini Line Hair RemovalIve been doing at-home waxing for the last five years, and was looking for something with the same effectiveness but easier to use. I had been thinking about laser hair removal, but after discovering that even thats not permanent (it lasts about 5 years), I decided to try out the Braun epilator. I chose this one because other reviews I had read praised the effectiveness of the epilator, and I wanted the model that also included that shaver/trimmer attachment, as I trim my bikini line. While Im still getting used to the occasional pain of the epilator, Im very, very pleased with the results. I did my bikini line and my arm pits prior to my tropical vacation, and was totally hair free the entire week after spending about 15 min of epilation. The Braun is easy to use and very effective, and while the pain is a little worse than waxing (probably only because its more spread out vs. waxing, where all the hair is pulled out at once), I love that you can use the Braun quickly for touch ups as needed. Theres no set-up or hassle as in waxing. I dont get any ingrown hairs or red bumps after epilation, but I also make sure to exfoliate daily the areas I epilate in the shower, and I always put Neosporin on the bikini line after epilation to prevent any bacteria from infecting the opened pores. Be aware that youll have red bumps for about 12 hours the first time you epilate; thereafter, I felt like the bumps didnt last nearly as long.Sep 17, 2007Amy

Hurts Like F***Okay, this product works great and is my first epilator, so i decided to go with a trusted name (Braun). It simply hurts so much and i assume its because its my first time using one. I couldnt finish the area i was trying to do, but I plan on either getting drunk or using some form of painkiller for the first few times because it simply hurts too much. On a side note, i have dark, thick, deep-rooted hair, so thats why its so difficult for me. On areas with very fine hair, its much, much more painlessJul 6, 2007Sam / Md

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Luci Malin of the Utah State Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining Abandoned Mine and Reclamation department gave the Emery County Public Lands Council an update concerning the MK Tunnels reclamation project. She said due to the funding coming from the US Army Corps of Engineers for this project, the deadline for completion has been set at Dec. 31.
"There have been several delays with this project because it is included in the entire San Rafael project. MK Tunnels is now a separate project to allow us to meet the reclamation deadline. The Bureau of Land Management has requested additional testing on some of the other mining areas in the San Rafael, but everything is done for the MK Tunnels and the plans are to have the reclamation project completed by the end of the year," said Malin.
Tony Gallegos, project manager, explained the separation of the San Rafael project and the MK Tunnel project into two separate projects. "In the San Rafael project, 173 mines openings have been proposed to be closed at a cost of $35,000. For the MK Tunnels, there are six openings which require closure at a cost of $164,000. The MK Tunnels project will begin in November and be complete by the end of December," he said.
Gallegos explained the DOGM project will leave the opening known as the powder magazine for the MK Tunnels open for its historical value. It is a safe portal and is not in fractured, unsafe rock. At some of the other horizontal openings, manganol steel gates will be installed and may be recessed into the opening. The larger horizontal openings will be filled with block walls that will be covered with plaster using native soils to match the landscape colors.
Vernell Rowley voiced concerns over the historical value and items remaining in the shaft openings. Gallegos stressed that the solid walls will only be inserted over the openings with none of those things. The openings with something of interest to see will have the steel gates inserted so visitors can view the historical items.
Mark H Williams informed the council that one of the openings, number 4191118H01, is located in solid rock, has no fractures and is 305 feet into the ground. He said it is his opinion that particular opening should be left alone as it poses no safety hazard.
Ray Petersen, public lands director, said many of the bigger tunnels are fractured badly and are beginning to cave in and pose a potential danger to the public.
As for the openings that are vertical into the ground, these will be backfilled with material from waste piles in the area and capped with concrete pads. "DOGM has engineered safety first, then considered the cultural and historic value, with consideration to sensitive species in the area," said Gallegos. He stated the concrete pads will have drainage pipes to allow for run off with no further erosion.
Petersen informed the council the Emery County Commissioners have accepted this project as proposed. The public lands council discussed and decided to write a letter of request to leave shaft 4191118H01 as it is for its historical value. Gallegos informed the council of $10,000 in the project money to have an interpretive kiosk constructed to inform visitors of the historic value of the area.

Here's all...our most of the good NT prospects in this year's draft. There's a relatively large amount of NT's this year as compared to the last couple of drafts so I would imagine the Jets would be looking strongly at picking up one of them.
Terrence Cody
6'4" - 275 lbs.
Mount Cody is a Junior College transfer...and as a result hasn't been on the radar until recently. Simply put...this is one huge dude. He is also dominating as a NT in a 3-4 down in Alabama...under Nick Saban. This really is the dude to get...if you want a NT. If he comes out, a first rounder. This is just a quote I read in an article about Cody that is just too funny. --- Against North Fort Myers High School during his senior season, Cody grabbed tailback Noel Devine in the backfield. "Terrence got ahold of his jersey, spun him around like a top and fell down on him," Jones said. "He came to the sideline and said, 'Coach, I made Devine throw up.' I said, 'Good for you, Terrence.'" ---
B.J. Raji
6'1" - 334 lbs.
Boston College
Most of you remember him from last year. Well...he obviously didn't enter the draft...and returned for his senior season. Raji is a prototypical 34 NT, and the only real question is his character and work ethic. He's got the size and the skills...but can he use them? Has first round talent, but he could fall in any number of the middle rounds.
Terrance Taylor
6'0" - 310 lbs.
A 3 year starter who, in my mind, will only ever be a decent backup. But hey, depth is half the battle. Still a good player, but not a superstar. Mid rounder.
Antonio Dixon
6'2" - 325 lbs.
A hard worker who has overcome a few obstacles in his life, Dixon has been a force on Miami's line. He doesn't get a lot of press, but you can apply a lot of that to Miami's struggles these past couple of years. He is inconsistent, but I feel with more coaching and support he can improve tremendously. He too is probably a career backup, but he should still serve great depth at the NT position, which considering our starter and backup are both 29 years old, is pretty damn important. Late round pick/UFA.

I've seen Cody play both in Jr. college and at Alabama and I believe he is legit. He has an established weight problem and I am afraid when he comes off his injury he will be in the 400-450 range which is the weight he played at in juco. If this is the case I think he will opt to come back for another year of college rather than crash diet for the combine.

Stan went to be with his father in Heaven after a long and courageous battle with heart disease.
Stan was born on March 17, 1933 in Des Moines, N.M. to Evelyn Marie Henry Roberts and Stanley Warren Roberts Sr. He was the oldest of three sons. He was preceded by these immediate family members.
Stan had three sons, Rob Roberts of Northern California, Glenn Roberts of Los Angeles, Calif., and his namesake Stanley W. Roberts of Hanksville; wife Elli, and daughters Tanya Roberts of Price, and Wendy Morril of Hanksville, and Colton Roberts of Hanksville. Stan was a great step-dad to Theresia, Debbie and Michale Glaze.
Stan did 20 plus years in the Navy with the last 10 years in the submarine service where he was a corpsman. He was a decorated veteran serving in the Korean War, the Cold War with Russia, and the Vietnam War. He retired in the spring of 1971.
At this time there was a pilot program at the University of Utah for civilian physician assistants. Stan completed the program and was one of the first PAs to work in central Utah. Stan also had a chance to work in Alaska as the PA for the men working on the Alaskan pipeline.
Stan had a lifelong passion for firearms as well as hunting. He turned this passion into a business with several partners along the way. Stan would guide people from all over the USA as well as a few from other parts of the world. He would lead these people to trophy deer, elk and mountain lion. Stan started to collect firearms while still in the Navy and made this passion into a lifelong business of making custom rifles and some of the best custom stock work in Emery and Carbon counties and beyond.
Stan met the love of his life Dona Ralphs, and on March 16, 1999, they were married. Stan and Dona spent the last 10 years traveling and enjoying each other. Stan was a great step-dad to Camille, Denise and Michael Winston Taylor.
Stan was a great mentor to lots of young men in this area. Teaching good working ethics as well as a great game of pool. You know who you all are.
In the spring of 2007, Stan became the 200th recipient of the LVAD (left ventricle assist device). This gave Stan 18 more months with his family and to study the Bible doctrine he loved so much.
Stan was called home to be face to face with the Lord in a place of "no more pain, no more sorrow, the things of old have passes away" in the early morning hours of July 11, 2008.
Private family services will be held.

Well I wanted to discuss this anime series, there are 2 seasons and at the end of season 2 it says to be continued.
I seriously loved this serie and I wanna know what you all thought of this anime.
[Why can't my life be like that serie xD]
I never watched the anime but the manga is definitly worth checking out.
Where did the anime seasons end? since in the manga Uzume just died, and I feel it has still quite a long way to go...
Well the anime is even further than that, but I believe thats not the end of the manga as you say, the end of the anime is that stage 3 has begun and the big tower in the middle has collapsed (intentionally by the game master) and is being rebuild, however the first season came out 2008 and the second in 2010 so I believe I have to wait some time but the anime is definitely worth waiting for.
Uzume died in the anime in second season episode 10/13, but she doesn't really dies she is just out of the game, at least thats what I think.
Well I just read something on the internet and it says the anime skipped some parts of the manga between season 1 and 2, and we have to wait for the manga to go ahead a bit.
Sekirei was one of the few anime I've ever dropped (along with Ikkitousen). Voice acting, character design, story... everything about it was crap tbh.
I love fan service in a show, but if the only thing the characters have going for them is big tits then it just doesn't float my boat. Toloveru and Strike witches is fan service done right.
And Bakemonogatari is how you make an anime that has stylish fan service, great voice acting & story and absolutely fukken gorgeous character design. I've been spoiled and my bar has been set high for fan service :x
Well Kanokon is my favorite but I reall don't care for the voice acting (if it means what I think it does) and Sekirei has a very good story about 108 beings fighting each other and big tits are always good. Don't really care about how the fan service happens if the story works along good enough (for me) then i'm satisfied
I don't had any intention of making you do something, if you like reading manga more than watching anime you should read manga.
I am mostly to lazy to read manga rather then watching anime while in bed xD and moreover I read some pages and what I see is that all pages are black and white, which I don't like , atm I'm trying to watch all good ecchi and harem anime so I can later read their manga's and go on where the anime ended .

It has been fairly eventful throughout NHL creases already this season, with injuries and surprises already changing the landscape.
Here, then, is Scott Cullen's quick tour through all 30 teams, looking at who's playing and how the balance looks going forward.
ANAHEIM30-year-old rookie Viktor Fasth has been outstanding (8-0, 1.78 GAA, .933 SV%), earning more playing time and a two-year contract extension. That contract shows a lot of confidence in Fasth with a small sample of NHL work, but as long as Fasth is playing well, he's going to take starts from incumbent starter Jonas Hiller, whose play has been uneven (3.43 GAA, .880 SV%) through his first seven appearances of the season.
BOSTONTim Thomas' decision to step away from the game opened the door for Tuukka Rask to claim the number one job and, aside from one six-goal outing against Buffalo, he's been very good (8-1-2, 2.05 GAA, .919 SV%). Anton Khudobin had seven NHL games uncer his belt entering the season, but has been steady enough (2.70 GAA, .905 SV%) in the backup role. Steady enough to continue, but also far enough behind for Rask to be locked in as the starter.
BUFFALOIt hasn't been an early start to the season for Ryan Miller (6-9-1, 2.87 GAA, .915 SV%) and it seems noteworthy that Miller has allowed one or zero goals once in 16 starts. The heavy shot load is causing more problems for backup Jhonas Enroth (0-2-0, 4.75 GAA, .847 SV%), but this is one of the more clearly defined starter-backup situations in the league.
CALGARYWhile Miikka Kiprusoff (2-3-2, 3.24 GAA, .870 SV%) remains sidelined, 33-year-old journeyman Joey MacDonald (1-2-0, 3.09 GAA, .893 SV%) is the No. 1 option between the pipes for the Flames and, predictably, the results haven't been ideal. After starring in the AHL (13-10-1, 1.82 GAA, .929 SV%), Daniel Taylor got into the cage for a start and remains in the backup role while Leland Irving is back in the AHL after getting first crack at the job. Given the performance of the fill-ins, Kiprusoff should see the majority of the starts once he returns.
CAROLINACam Ward is clearly the number one guy in Carolina, but his numbers (3.27 GAA, .896 SV%) are his worst since his rookie season. With Ward struggling the play of Dan Ellis (3-1-0, 1.74 GAA, .943 SV%), who played in the AHL during the lockout, has been a difference-maker and, if the trend continues, he could take more starts away as the season goes along.
CHICAGOThe Blackhawks haven't missed a beat, even with Corey Crawford (7-0-3, 1.65 GAA, .935 SV%) injured because Ray Emery has been tremendous (6-0-0, 2.28 GAA, .925 SV%) in his own right. Henrik Karlsson (2.23 GAA, .919 SV% in 4 AHL GP) was hanging around for a while in case Emery needed a break. Crawford's strong play has been significantly improved this year and it should help him solidify the starting job, at least once he's healthy.
COLORADOThough he has a losing record (5-7-1) and higher goals against average (2.75), Semyon Varlamov has matched last year's .913 save percentage and is solidly in place as the top dog in the Avalanche net. Veteran Jean-Sebastien Giguere has a .919 save percentage in his three appearances, matching last year's mark.
COLUMBUSHolding a slight edge in the crease with his new team, Sergei Bobrovsky hasn't been awe-inspiring (3-5-2, 2.79 GAA, .902 SV%). In fact, he's a lot like Steve Mason (2-5, 3.00 GAA, .900 SV%), who hasn't played like a starter since his rookie season. If either one could string together a handful of quality starts, that could be the starter.
DALLAS29-year-old rookie Christopher Nilstorp is winless in three starts (0-3, 3.16 GAA, .892 SV%), but has the edge over Richard Bachman (1-3-0, 3.95, .857 SV%) while the Stars wait for Kari Lehtonen (7-2-1, 2.12 GAA, .934 SV%) to get healthy.
DETROITThe Red Wings are finding that goal prevention was easier with Nicklas Lidstrom patrolling the blueline. In any case, Jimmy Howard (6-6-2, 3.08 GAA, .896 SV%) has the worst numbers of his career while facing 29.5 shots per 60 minutes. Jonas Gustavsson has only played two games, stopping 23 of 26 shots, but if Howard is ever out long-term, Gustavsson has competition from rookie Petr Mrazek, who had two NHL starts in addition to putting up good numbers (2.26 GAA, .916 SV%) in the AHL.
EDMONTONThis is supposed to be a big year for 26-year-old Devan Dubnyk, who is the unquestioned starter in Edmonton and has put up decent numbers (5-5-3, 2.78 GAA, career-high .917 SV%), good enough to hold off any challenge from 40-yar-old Nikolai Khabibulin, who has played great (1-2-0, 1.91 GAA, .940 SV%).
FLORIDA23-year-old top prospect Jacob Markstrom has been called up from the AHL, where he played well (2.65 GAA, .920 SV%) and now the primary reason for the Panthers not to trade for Roberto Luongo has a chance to stick if he plays well. Veterans Jose Theodore (4-6-2, 3.37 GAA, .893 SV%) and Scott Clemmensen (1-1-2, 3.86 GAA, .862 SV%) haven't played well enough to hold the job, so it makes sense of Markstrom to get his shot.
LOS ANGELESPlayoff hero and Vezina finalist Jonathan Quick has crashed back to earth with pedestrian numbers (4-5-2, 2.58 GAA, .900 SV%). If there isn't some improvement, perhaps it will provide more of an opening for Jonathan Bernier, who has played well (3-1-0, 1.80 GAA, .916 SV%) when given the chance.
MINNESOTA35-year-old Niklas Backstrom remains steady (6-4-2, 2.28 GAA, .917 SV%) and firmly set as the Wild's No. 1. As Josh Harding (1-1, 2.92 GAA, .885 SV%) deals with MS symptoms, 22-year-old Darcy Kuemper has impressed (1-1, 2.2 GAA, .934 SV%) in two starts, but he and Matt Hackett are more factors for the future.
MONTREALCarey Price is a franchise player for the Canadiens and his performance has been stellar (9-3-1, 2.12 GAA, .919 SV%), which isn't very surprising, and Peter Budaj (2-1-1, 2.45 GAA, .905 SV%) has continued to play well in the backup role, picking up where he left off last season.
NASHVILLEThe cornerstone of the Predators' lineup, Pekka Rinne has been typically great (7-3-4, 1.67 GAA, .935 SV%), playing like one of the league's elite again. Veteran backup Chris Mason was very good through two starts before getting lit up for six goals on 18 shots against Colorado on Monday.
NEW JERSEYAt 40-years-old Martin Brodeur remains good, not great, with an 8-2-3 record, 2.27 goals against average and .911 save percentage. The Devils don't miss a beat when they go for the youthful enthusiasm of backup Johan Hedberg, who has been terrific (2-1-1, 1.71 GAA, .935 SV%).
N.Y. ISLANDERSEvgeni Nabokov might be the best the Islanders have right now, but hasn't been very good (7-6-1, 3.11 GAA, .895 SV%). There's not much competition from the waived Rick DiPietro (0-3-0, 4.09 GAA, .855 SV%), but 22-year-old Kevin Poulin (3.16 GAA, .906 SV% in 31 AHL GP) could challenge for playing time, especially if Nabokov doesn't improve.
N.Y. RANGERSAll-World goalie Henrik Lundqvist started slowly, but has been great in February (1.83 GAA, .932 SV%) and there's not much reason to be down on his 7-6-1 record, 2.28 goals against average and .918 save percentage. Martin Biron doesn't play much, but has played well (2.31 GAA, .928 SV%) in three appearances.
OTTAWACraig Anderson has been the league's best (8-4-2, 1.49 GAA, .952 SV%) goaltender to this point in the season, but suffered an ankle injury Thursday, which means an opportunity for backup Ben Bishop (2-2-0, 2.61 GAA, .919 SV%) to get some run. The Senators embarrassment of riches in net extends to the AHL, where Robin Lehner (2.12 GAA, .938 SV% in 31 AHL GP) is surely ready for NHL duty, yet can't get a shot. Maybe if Anderson is out for a longer period.
PHILADELPHIAIlya Bryzgalov got off to a good start, but has been rocked for at least four goals in three of his last four starts, dropping his numbers (8-8-1, 2.76 GAA, .900 SV%) below last season's. Bryz brings unpredictability but, given his backups, he should still get the vast majority of starts. Brian Boucher (0-1-0, 2.48 GAA, .898 SV%) and Michael Leighton (0-1-0, 5.08 GAA, .808 SV%) aren't threats for playing time.
PHOENIXMike Smith had a couple rough starts early, but has been getting better (6-4-1, 2.55 GAA, .907 SV%) as he tries to build on last year's breakout campaign. Jason LaBarbera (1-2-0, 2.83 GAA, .898 SV%) has been a serviceable backup, but lost a couple of starts to minor leaguer Chad Johnson (1-0-1, 0.98 GAA, .952 SV%) when Smith was hurt.
PITTSBURGHAfter struggling in last year's playoffs (4.63 GAA, .834 SV%), Marc-Andre Fleury faced more of a challenge for his job when the Penguins acquired Tomas Vokoun, but Fleury has played at a level similar to the past couple of seasons (8-3-0, 2.34 GAA, .914 SV%). For his part, Vokoun had been okay, but after giving up six against Philadelphia Wednesday, his overall stats (3-3-0, 2.87 GAA, .899 SV%) don't look so great.
SAN JOSEEven as the San Jose Sharks stumble after their unbeaten-in-seven start, Antti Niemi continues to provide stability, with a 7-2-3 record, 1.86 goals against average and .933 save percentage. When he's playing like that, Niemi is safely in the No. 1 slot for the Sharks. Thomas Greiss (1-2-0, 2.68 GAA, .913 SV%) has been among the better backups in recent seasons.
ST. LOUISInjured early in the year, Jaroslav Halak (3-0-1, 1.84 GAA, .902 SV%) is healthy now and will be counted on to handle the bulk of the workload for the Blues, since Brian Elliott has been a disaster (3-5-1, 3.57 GAA, .849 SV%) following up his career year. Fortunately, prospect Jake Allen (3-1-0, 2.62 GAA, .895 SV%) was serviceable as a replacement when Halak was hurt.
TAMPA BAYThe Lightning handed their goaltender reins over to Anders Lindback, after two seasons with the Nashville Predators. The early returns this year have been mixed, with a 7-4-1 record, 3.12 GAA and .895 SV%. Veteran backup Mathieu Garon (1-3-0, 3.19 GAA, .911 SV%) fits well in that role, but isn't likely to challenge Lindback unless the wheels really come off the wagon.
TORONTOAfter playing with the Marlies in the AHL during the lockout, Ben Scrivens got the nod as the Maple Leafs' opening night starter and had a couple decent starts before getting lit up and losing control of the crease to James Reimer. Reimer's injury has given Scrivens another chance and he's performed very well (5-4-0, 2.10 GAA, .931 SV%). Reimer, to his credit, was excellent (6-3-0, 2.31 GAA, .929 SV%) before getting hurt and the play of this young tandem has lessened the urgency for Toronto to acquire a more established puckstopper.
VANCOUVERThis was supposed to be a big year for Cory Schneider, as he was expected to run with the starting job. While Schneider hasn't played poorly (5-3-1, 2.68 GAA, .912 SV%), he has played better in previous seasons and Roberto Luongo (4-0-3, 1.63 GAA, .934 SV%) has forced his way into more action than might have been initially anticipated.
WASHINGTONLast year's playoff darling for the Capitals, Braden Holtby has found the going tougher (4-6-0, 3.62 GAA, .891 SV%) this year, but is getting more starts than Michal Neuvirth (1-4-1, 3.05 GAA, .889 SV%). If either one of them was playing at a league-average level, the Capitals would be in much better position.
WINNIPEGThe wait continues for 25-year-old Ondrej Pavelec to take the next step in his development and he has improved after a slow start, but the overall (5-8-1, 2.97 GAA, .896 SV%) is still not up to starter snuff. Al Montoya (2-0-0, 2.74 GAA, .889 SV%) hasn't done much to think that he will eat into Pavelec's playing time.

Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, it goes from the sublime to the ridiculous over there.
That member chose, bizarrely, to run for a political party that, when in government, imposed a $1,000 head tax on all new permanent residents to Canada. The previous Liberal government froze settlement funding for 13 years. It drove up the backlog on immigration from a couple hundred thousand files to nearly a million. It did nothing on foreign credential recognition, a record of shame and neglect.
The government cut the right of landing fee in half, tripled settlement funding, has massively reduced the backlog and is taking real action on credential recognition. When it comes to newcomers, this government is taking action.
International Trade
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Megan Leslie Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, the price of prescription drugs is increasing by an average of 10% a year.
The free trade agreement with the European Union would increase the cost of prescriptions by several billion dollars. In Quebec, the price would increase by over $700 million. In Ontario, it would be over $1 billion. Yet one out of four Canadians does not have a drug insurance plan.
Why do the Conservatives want to sign an agreement that will increase these prices?
International Trade
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member does not have her facts straight.
In fact, the Canada-European Union free trade agreement stands to be of great benefit to Canadian consumers, with growth in our economy of some $12 billion a year. In terms of the issue in question, the pharmaceutical issue, this is actually one of many issues still to be negotiated. There is no agreement on it yet.
We can say with sound assurance that this government will only enter an agreement that is in Canada's best interest.
International Trade
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Megan Leslie Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, we can hardly expect that, considering the Conservative government could not be more out of touch with the needs of Canadians. The Conservative-European free trade deal could cause drug prices to rise by more than $2.5 billion a year. It is a clear failure of leadership on the part of the Conservatives.
New Democrats have repeatedly proposed a realistic pharmacare strategy that would actually save Canadians billions of dollars a year.
When will the current government stop protecting the interests of big pharma and start working with first nations, provinces and territories to come up with an affordable drug strategy?
International Trade
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, this member could not be much more out of touch, because the fact is that what she is laying on the table is not agreed to. Those are not the terms. They may have been what she read in the headlines somewhere, but if she were to get on top of the facts, she would learn there is no such agreement.
What we are working on with the European Union is an agreement that would result in jobs and economic prosperity for Canadians from coast to coast. We will deal with all of the issues that come to the table, many of which remain to be negotiated, but we will deal with them firmly and in Canada's best interests to deliver the best possible returns for the Canadian economy and Canadian jobs.
Natural Resources
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, our government has been delivering for the forestry sector in the province of B.C., with recent support for Cariboo Pulp and Paper in Quesnel, Northwood Pulp Mill in Prince George and Domtar's pulp mill in Kamloops.
We are ensuring that the Canadian economy and resource jobs are there for our resource communities. We are here for B.C. and we are here for Canada.
Would the Minister of Natural Resources tell the House what the government is doing for resource communities in the rest of Canada?
Natural Resources
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Christian Paradis Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, the government's priority is the economy, and we provide support to Quebeckers in all regions of Quebec. That is why, since 2008, we have provided assistance to over 652 forestry companies in Quebec. Take, for example, Domtar and Tembec, in Windsor and Matane, respectively, where over 500 jobs were consolidated. The Conservative government is always working to provide assistance to all sectors of the economy and to people in all regions of Quebec.
Knowledge Economy
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Alexandra Mendes Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, under the previous Liberal government, the knowledge economy was the pride of Quebec. The downhill slide that began under the Conservative government is becoming more pronounced and cuts to research and development are becoming increasingly severe. Last week, Pfizer announced the closure of its research and development centre in Saint-Laurent. That means 150 very real, high-calibre jobs are going to be eliminated. The Conservatives are getting worked up about non-existent jobs related to the F-35s but they are letting real jobs be eliminated.
Is this further proof that Quebec's future does not matter to them?
Knowledge Economy
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, our sympathies are with those who are affected by Pfizer's decision. Of course, it was a worldwide decision, affecting many different plants and companies.
I can assure the hon. member that we are still focused on jobs and job creation. We have seen that in the province of Quebec. My colleague, the House leader, informs me that 46% of Quebec companies are intending to hire in the next three months. That is good news for Quebeckers and, of course, good news for Canadians as well.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Department of National Defence chose to establish its new Joint Meteorological Centre in Gagetown. This is the second significant investment for which Bagotville has been overlooked in the past 14 months. These two missed opportunities are even more painful because the Conservatives have still not kept their promise to station 650 new members of the expeditionary squadron in Bagotville.
Can the two Conservative ministers from Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean explain why they are unable to stick up for their region?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, the Joint Meteorological Centre at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown will have no impact, none, on CFB Bagotville. In fact the weather service being produced at this particular base involves no personnel.
With modern technology, it has now been determined that we will have centralized Canadian Forces weather services at the Joint Meteorological Centre at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown. And with respect to Bagotville, we have 400 new Canadian Forces and personnel.
International Co-operation
Oral Questions
February 7th, 2011 / 2:55 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, despite an ongoing 40-year partnership between the Canadian Teachers' Federation and CIDA, the minister rejected CTF's recent application to help train teachers and develop curriculum aboard because of "an unspecified technicality". This, after 18 months of working with CIDA on the proposal.
Why will the current government not support Canadian teachers who want to share their skills and help countries in the developing world?
International Co-operation
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lois Brown Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, ultimately, we all want the same thing. I know the opposition is attempting to turn this into a purely partisan attack but I certainly give Canadians much more credit than that.
We want to ensure that our aid is efficient, effective and accountable. We want to ensure that the money we put into programs is getting to those who need it the most. We want to ensure that our aid is going to real people on the ground where it can truly make a difference.
Canadian Heritage
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Kelly Block Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, the principle of free speech is one of the cornerstones of our democracy. As we know, last month there were attempts to prevent the movie Iranium, which is critical of Iran's human rights record, from being shown here in Canada. Our government made it clear that we will not bend to threats of violence, especially when they come from the Iranian embassy.
I had the privilege of being present last night when the film played to a sold out crowd at Library and Archives Canada.
Would the Minister of Canadian Heritage please tell the House why he ordered Library and Archives Canada to screen the film?
Canadian Heritage
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, the showing and the screening of the documentary Iranium was an important statement by this House of Commons.
I believe Library and Archives Canada made a horrible mistake in cancelling the original screening of that film under threats of violence and under threats and protests from the Iranian embassy.
Our government made a clear statement and a clear decision that the Iranian embassy will not dictate to Canadians anywhere in this country what film they will or will not see. Canadians have a right to watch any movie and to take in any kind of cultural event they want without fear, without any threat of violence and without any intimidation from the Iranian embassy.

As we know Naruto only has HALF of the Nine Tails chakara...
I was just wondering who will win in a fight? The FULL Nine Tails against Nagato/Pain (Rin'nigan).
I know we can't say so far as we don't know what Pain can do with them eyes of his.
But if Jiraiya nearly died from half the power of 4 tailed Naruto then how strong is the Full Nine Tails? o_o!

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Emery County Progress
What do people think of when they think about Utah? While there are a number of things that may come to mind, technology usually isn't one of them. However, the truth of the matter is that Utah has contributed volumes to the high tech world we now live in.
For example, the inventor of television, Philo T. Farnsworth, was born in Beaver. According to the Utah Technology Council's website at www.uita.org, Farnsworth also contributed to the development of radar, baby incubators and cathode ray tubes, which are used in today's analog televisions and Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) computer monitors.
The digital graphics and printing industry was also forever changed by the state. John E. Warnock, a Salt Lake City native and graduate of the University of Utah is best known for co-founding the publishing software giant Adobe Systems.
During the company's earlier years, Warnock helped develop PostScript, a language that revolutionized photo and document printing. In fact, PostScript was also a precursor to the Portable Document Format (PDF) that is used all over the globe.
Many of Adobe's later software creations, like Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and InDesign have largely become "must-have" programs in today's publishing industry. In fact, like many other newspapers, the Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress also rely on Adobe software to produce the paper week to week.
Utah also had a big impact on video gaming. Nolan Bushnell, considered one of the founding fathers of the video gaming industry, was born in Clearfield and was raised in Salt Lake City. Bushnell founded the venerable video game company Atari, which had a massive influence on the booming video gaming industry of today. Like many others, Nolan was also a graduate of the University of Utah.
Beyond television, video games and publishing software, Utah has also had an impact on word processing, networking, digital audio and animation.
For example, many people today rely on WordPerfect, a word processing computer program originally created by the Utah-based WordPerfect Corporation, founded by Alan Ashton and Bruce W. Bastian.
Ashton, a native of Salt Lake City and graduate of University of Utah, was a professor at Brigham Young University when he joined forces with Bastian, a BYU graduate student at the time.
The WordPerfect Corporation saw world-wide success in the 1980s as the dominant word processor before the company was acquired by Corel in 1996.
Ray Noorda, a native of Ogden and a graduate of Weber State College helped found Novell, a pioneer in computer networking software. According to the Utah Technology Council (UTC), Noorda not only was one of the founders of the company, but also served as Novell's president, CEO and chairman from 1983 to 1994.
Other notable pioneers of technology weren't necessarily born or raised in Utah, but received degrees from Utah colleges or universities, or were professors at Utah universities.
Thomas Stockham, for example, was an engineering professor at the University of Utah and is deemed by many to be the "father of digital audio." According to Wikipedia, after he left the Massachsett's Institute of Technology (MIT) and came to the University of Utah, he "developed the first practical digital audio recording system." He later founded Soundstream, the first digital recording company in the United States, which was located in Salt Lake City.
Wikipedia also states that Stockham's "developments and contributions to digital audio paved the way for later digital audio technologies, such as the audio compact disc (CD) and DAT (Digital Audio Tape)."
Still, Utah's tech contributions don't stop there. Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, and Jim Clark, founder of many notable tech companies like Netscape and Silicon Graphics, both earned degrees from the University of Utah.
And while the faculty and alumni of Utah universities have had an impact on the ever-growing world of technology, the University of Utah itself actually played an important and historic role in the formation of the Internet.
In the late 1960s, the university was selected to be one of four major nodes, or participants in the ARPANET project, a project commissioned by the United States Department of Defense. ARPANET played a crucial role as the precursor to the modern Internet. UCLA, Stanford University and the University of California (UCSB) were the other three participants.
So with all of this in mind, perhaps the next time someone thinks about Utah, they will also remember the great achievements and contributions that this great "State of Deseret" has contributed to the technological advancements of the modern world.

The Iranian regime has plenty of experience when it comes to extermination, but usually the target is its political opponents.
Now it is seeking to crush a new enemy — the rats that are overrunning Tehran.
These are real rodents, not the human variety, although the means the authorities are deploying against them are not dissimilar.
Poison is proving less and less effective, so they are using sniper teams.
The rats are running rampant in 26 districts of the capital, according to Tehran's environmental agency, and nowhere more so than in Vali Asr, the avenue that dissects the city from north
