"I am always a fan of Sam Edelman shoes and these do it again! It is slightly narrow, but it fits me perfectly because my feet are narrow. Very east to match and easy to walk in. Stays true to size. Gave a 4 because I have a small bit of toe cleavage."

comfy and stylish in a subtle way
"I really loved wearing this pair of heels to my birthday dinner. It was just tall enough to give my outfit some oomph yet short enough so that I don't feel like I am walking on my tip toes. They are very comfortable and fit my feet perfectly. It has a pointy-round toe so it didn't hurt. The color is very muted so it goes well with many colors and also wouldn't be too bold at more formal settings. The suede material gives it a more sophisticated feel. For a pop of distinction, there is a small insert of animal skin fabric to make this different than other suede heels. The bottom of the shoe has a very interesting design- a wood like look. Despite the design, it does not slip or feel weird to walk in. I love it!"

"I wasn't sure of this shape but I love my other Edleman's so much I decided to give this one a try... It really didn't do a thing for me... The color is nice but somehow looks bland when I put it on. The slightly rounded toe also gives a matronly look... Definitely not what I was expecting."

Reviews of this property
The appartment is located in a pleasant neighbourhood of Lisbon. It a spacious appartment with enough room for 4 people and a nice little garden. The equipment in the kitchen, expected for a longer stay, is limited. The appartment is located in an older building, which on one hand creates a nice environment, but it can be noisy depending on the activity of the neighbours. And as we experienced in other appartments in Lisbon the beds are of a relative poor quality, good enough for a few days but less appropriate if you stay longer.
The apartment was very nice and everything we expected after reviewing photographs and comments from other tenants. Welcome to our arrival so friendly, both as Mauro Nuno were very helpful to us and we had no problem.
El piso fue muy agradable y todo lo que esperábamos después de revisar las fotografías y los comentarios de otros inquilinos. La recepción a nuestra llegada muy amables, tanto Nuno como Mauro fueron muy atentos con nosotros y no tuvimos ningún problema.
The apartment is very well located, central and has very good access to public transportation. We enjoyed everything very much. Keys was very reliable and the apartment clean.
The location is quiet, yet all the shops available. The interior is cozy and not too cluttered, yet also practical and useful for 5 people.
In good weather, life is naturally everywhere easy and enjoyable! Lisbon was overall a great experience and we are here at this establishment right in the middle. We are happy to think back to the time.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, zentral und man hat sehr gute Anbindung an alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel. Uns hat alles sehr gefallen. Schlüsselübergabe war sehr zuverlässig und die Wohnung sauber.
Die Lage ist ruhig und trotzdem alle Geschäfte vorhanden. Die Einrichtung ist gemütlich und nicht zu überladen, aber trotzdem auch praktisch und nützlich für 5 Leute.
Bei gutem Wetter ist das Leben natürlich überall easy und angenehm! Lissabon war insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis und man ist hier in dieser Unterkunft mitten drin. Wir werden gerne an die Zeit zurückdenken.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had wonderful time in Lissabon! Apartment was very nice, in the centrum of Lissabon, perfect for city trips and close to nice restaurants and caffe bars, in lovely Bairro Alto quarter. Our host was very simpatic and useful we had everything what we need. In Lissabon was very hot and we did not even use any air-conditioner because the walls of house were so thick that we had very nice temperature inside. Our bed was also very good.
Very nice & clean locatioan near the airport.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
I can recommend the apartment of Roger. Central location. Short walking distance to the city and Metro. Check-In was very good and on time, we even got a google map link with good nearby restaurants. Communication and support was perfect.
Only the cleanliness of bathroom (shower) and the kitchen cabinets could be better. John
Nice apartment with all you need, right in the centre so you can walk most. A (e-)bike rental just around the corner.
The shower suffices but could do with a renovation.
The neighbourhood is quite lively at night, so when you like silence have your meal outdoors until at least 10 pm. Bedroom has double glass.
Our cabdriver had difficulty finding the address (even with GPS) and he may find it easier to go to the tram 28 stop on Praca Martim Moniz, near the hotel.
All the best !!!!
Alles bestens!!!!

Introducing: STAJAN-WATCH
Danny Gray
November 08 2011 12:55PM
On January 31, 2010 Matt Stajan was the "centerpiece" of the deal that sent Dion Phaneuf and Keith Aulie to Toronto. Niklas Hagman, Ian White, Jamal Mayers, and Frederick Sjostrom were also tangentially involved. Since that time Dion has been named Captain of the Leafs and appears to have taken a real step forward in becoming a legit top-pairing defenseman in the NHL. How about Matt Stajan? I'm sure glad you asked.
Matt is currently fighting for a roster spot in Calgary after signing a 4 year contract extension worth $3.5 Million a year in the spring of 2010. For reference, his capgeek contract page list Letang and Ryan Clowe as "comparables". What else has Matt been up to out West?
- Currently 453 in the NHL in points with 2 in 11 GP.
- Matt is currently the 8th most popular buyout search on Capgeek.
- Matt has fewer points with the Flames than Dion Phaneuf does with the Leafs.
- Stajan is averaging 11:19 of ice-time per game. Less than guys like Phillipe Dupuis and Dan Carcillo.
The best part about this idea is that you'll almost never have to provide an update!
November 08 2011, 01:14PM
Haven't we Flames fans suffered enough?
November 08 2011, 01:16PM
"I liked Stajan when he was a Leaf, he was a decent C who played a two-way game."
Don't tease us with visions of a Matt Stajan who is capable of playing a two way game.
November 08 2011, 02:21PM
You Leafs send us Stajan, and we hadn't even gotten over Gary Leeman!
November 09 2011, 10:24AM
Haven't we Flames fans suffered enough?
No, Flames fans need to keep suffering.
OOooooh, that one will come back to bite you Leafers, big time. You will rue the day you let him get away. Too bad you dont have Daryl Sutter around anymore to make these "trades" with.
From the bottom of my Oiler heart I thank you for taking Phaneuf and Buff for taking Regehr. Hated playing those guys. Calgary is a shell of itself without those two on the backend.
Now, how about an article on that young Tyler Seguin in Boston. I hear he's not too bad. Plays at both ends of the ice, unlike a certain "O-zone Only Kessel". Hahahaha, just stirring the pot, enjoy your monumental victory on the Phaneuf deal. You deserve a little bit of gloating. Especially when it comes at the cost of the Flameballs.
November 09 2011, 11:27AM
Both Stajan and Phaneuf have played the same amount of playoff games since the trade.
November 09 2011, 11:27AM
Will there be a Jonas Hoglund watch soon?
November 09 2011, 01:48PM
Both Stajan and Phaneuf have played the same amount of playoff games since the trade.

History's Headlines: Highway to the past: The 18th Century Road between Easton and Reading was once the pathway of patriots
Who would have thought that a nearly 200-year-old bridge on Reading Road would become a local political issue at a time when crossing the country, if everything goes well, can take 4 hours?
But that is what has happened as Lehigh County Democrats and Republicans argue over replacing a structure that has been in place since 1824, when John Quincy Adams was entering the White House and the mule powered Eire Canal was being hailed as a transportation marvel.
Actually, the argument aside, Reading Road has a history that is far older than the bridge. In fact it goes back to the days when it was called the King's Highway, and it has seen more history since it was first cut through by ox teams in the early 1750s than just about any other road in Pennsylvania. So many Founding Fathers traveled this historic route that it deserves to be called the Pathway of Patriots.
It all began in May, 1753, when the French and Indian War was still two years in the future, that the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania took up a petition from "sundry inhabitants of the Counties of Berks and Northampton" for the creation of a road between the newly formed county seats of Reading and Easton.
The council turned the task over to William Parsons, the longtime agent of the ruling Penn family, and founder of Easton. But most of the surveying was in the hands of David Schultze, a German immigrant from Silesia.
Over a period of eight days, starting from Parson's home in Easton on October 15, 1755, the 50 mile route was laid out. This King's Highway, as all government mandated roads in British North America were called, was to link up with other roads beyond Reading that took the route to Lancaster and eventually to York.
The road between Easton and Reading had almost no bridges until a bridge across the Lehigh was built at Bethlehem in 1794. Allentown would not have one until 1816.
Although a ferry was available on the Delaware, fording the rivers and creeks on foot or horseback was often the only way to cross.
The labor for clearing and building the road was provided by those who lived along the route and would thus benefit by it. There were strict rules about maintaining the road that the land owners would have to follow.
One required that no tree stump on the right of way could be any higher than 12 inches. History tells us that some of the landowners were very careful about following this rule, but alas a good many others were not, as many a traveler was to testify over the years.
A single rider on a horse in good weather could take the road fairly rapidly. But, into the early 19th century, wagon drivers pulling a heavy load powered by oxen did not think a five day journey from Reading to Easton all that unusual. Such a road needed many stops, like the Dorneyville Inn, which is better known today as the late King George tavern.
It did not take the new King's Highway long to attract its first important traveler. On December 30, 1755, Benjamin Franklin, and a party of Pennsylvania militia, were headed from Easton to Reading for a conference with the governor over the Indian raids at the start of the French and Indian War. When he returned on the same road he was "General" Franklin, with full powers to establish outposts on the frontier.
Throughout the war the road would be busy with colonial officials, soldiers, Indians and traders going to Easton for the treaty conferences of 1756, 1757 and 1758 that convinced the Native Americans to join the British cause and change the course of American history.
James Allen had his home Trout Hall face the road in 1771, giving him a not-always welcome front row seat to the armies and swarms of travelers that used the road during the American Revolution. "The road in front of my house has become the busiest in North America," he wrote in his diary.
Among those travelers in 1776 was British Major John Andre, later captured and hanged as a spy for conspiring treason with Benedict Arnold. At that time, Andre was part of a prisoner-of-war exchange.
It was to be the 20th century before a map of the Kings Highway was discovered in the British Foreign Office, along with a plan to seize it in order to cut the New England Colonies from the Middle Colonies. "Upon this plan the middle colonies may ever be kept in subjection with a few troops and frigates properly placed," he wrote. Fortunately his superiors never took Andre's advice.
Things particularly picked up when the British occupied Philadelphia from September of 1777 to June of 1778. The U.S. capital relocated to York and Congress went with it. Among its members on the highway that winter were John and Sam Adams, John Hancock, Governor Morris and many others. Another refugee was the Liberty Bell that arrived in Allentown to hide in Zion's Church.
It was not until July 25, 1782 when the Revolution was drawing to a close that George Washington apparently traveled the King's Highway, pounding through Allentown and stopping that evening with two aides at the Sun Inn. Here he allowed a "fan" to cut a lock of his hair, which has long been the property of Nazareth's Moravian Museum.
By the time the 1824 bridge was built it was local traffic that largely used the by-now 75-year-old King's Highway, but with it were many wagon trains headed west into the Ohio country and beyond, their passengers who no doubt appreciated the "modern" highway improvement provided by the then 12-year-old County of Lehigh.

Built for long distance, all mountain performance, the Salomon XT Wings 3 is a serious shoe for serious trail running.
In a trail running world where low profile is quickly becoming the norm, the XT Wings 3 remains built atop a fairly traditional geometry with a 9mm heel-to-toe differential and higher stack. In addition to the medial post for overpronation support, this cushioned design is ideal for long distance trail runs, where increased impact protection is essential.
We found the moderately lugged outsole to offer solid traction on a variety of terrain types, most notably on hardpack and somewhat technical dry trails, but also good on wet and soft ground as well. Thanks to the bi-directional lug pattern, our testers felt sure-footed and confident on both climbs and descents, experiencing little to no slippage in either situation.
The upper, like the rest of the shoe, is meant for comfort over long periods of wear. Salomon added welded overlays to reduce stitching within the shoe for fewer irritations while running, and an accommodating yet secure fit means the foot isn't crammed into the shoe. The upper also comes loaded with trail specific details such as a massive toecap for protection, a gusseted tongue to keep out debris, and a lace garage to make sure nothing gets snagged on trail hazards. Salomon has left no stone unturned in order to ensure nothing prevents you from dominating the mountains.
The XT Wings 3 is built for day-long trail runs. Delivering cushioning, a bit of support and a comfortable fit, this shoe has everything a runner needs to go test themselves against the mountain.
The traction is great for most trail types, though I'd be cautious over the most technical or loose terrain.
This shoe is packed with trail-ready features. Every detail has been thought out to ensure a hassle-free trail run.

meh, at least we got the nirvana explanations out of the way, and i did love the part with hoteye turning good and jura looking like wtf.
and on a side note, am i the only one sick of that stick up her ass charle always talking down to happy. he should talk back to that bi*ch already...
Kinda cool chapter, liked the explanation of Nirvana and how its going to be used. I want to know if Gerard will change to go too and if so since hes right there will he have the power to control Nirvana too? Im a little tired of that chick who has the boner for Leon though... Get over him, hes dead get it!!! lol
I like the description on the front page of the other blue pegasus character, the one who controls air. Frig thats dangerous! Blow up the air or take out all the oxygen! Who could stand up to that?!? Natsu would die instantly without oxygen top fuel his fire!!!
A pie in the sky?
meh... a whole build up chapter about nirvana, and looks like next chapter wont be better either... "stellar spirit fight", perhaps lucy might find another stellar spirit!

Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
I'd probably hate the idea if Midnight hasn't truly killed that guy.
Makes the whole manga more One Piece-like.
What if Gerard uses Nirvana to make him good?
Midnight won't kill the guy and Gerard'll meet up with Erza again and try to make her under his control. Natsu will get pwned mutliple times again and Leon will still be alive seeing as he'll use some ice shield technique. Wendy will do something of value and that snooty biotch-of-a-cat Charle (WTF kinda name is that!?) will be saved by Happy.

Decent chap. Why does Gray have to keep being taken out before the final climatic battle in each arc? He trusted Natsu to save Erza from Gerard ok cool, he gets taken out by one of Luxus' goons due to being unable to use magic, that's pretty harsh when magic is the principle way of combat in Fairy Tail, and then Lucy(well Loki pretty much) takes that goon down.
Now he had an awesome tag-team battle with Leon to take down Racer, which is cool by showing how strong Oracion Seis is while at the same time making Gray and Leon look strong, but losing to Leon's fangirl even if it was a surprise attack is pretty bad, and by the looks of it Lucy will take her out in the next chap.
Lucy has some serious teasing material with beating 2 people Gray couldn't even though in a normal battle Gray could destroy Bixlow or Cherie.
Anyways, Nirvana seems like a pretty sweet magic with the whole Light/Dark switch and Hoteye going hippie was pretty funny. I see Natsu having a run-in with Midnight and Erza chasing after Gerard. What would be pretty cool was if Gerard turned good and Erza became evil, that would certainly shake up Fairy Tail.
I think his magic is to deflect other magic. i.e. Natsu couldn't hit him and that little nerd-person said nothing he did worked on him either. Its kinda cool but I hope thats not all he can do, I hope hes got some kind of attack magic too.
Question: Can people in Fairy Tail have more than 1 magic?

Ship Weight:0.39 Flavor:Peanut Butter Cloud Star Buddy Biscuits Soft & Chewy Dog Treats Peanut Butter 6 oz. (170 g) Cloud Star Buddy Biscuits Soft & Chewy Dog Treats Peanut Butter are quite possibly the best soft dog treats ever. Finally a soft treat to feel good about! Cloud Star eliminated the propylene glycol, BHA, BHT, and other nastiness commonly found in soft treats. The resealable bag will help keep freshness in, but can't guarantee it will keep canine noses out! Whoever said, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks," just didn't know about the irresistble Soft & Chewy Buddy Biscuits. Large dog or small, it doesn't matter at all; Soft & Chewy Buddy Biscuits are the most tasty morsels around and are ideal for dogs of every size. Whatever the occasion, these scrumptious low-fat buddy biscuits will have your dogs wagging and drooling for more. Cloud Star is dedicated to providing your pet with the most wholesome treats possible, using only the finest natural ingredients available. Buddy Biscuts are great for all dogs, even those with allergies or sensitivities, and older dogs, because they are highly palatable and easy to chew. They contain no corn, soy, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or byproducts. For more than a decade Cloud Star has been producing all natural and wholesome products for dogs, even those with allergies. The company got its start in 1999 when Jennifer Melton and Brennan Johnson adopted their dog Samantha. She was a picky eater, and because they could not find a commercially available treat to satisfy her finicky palate and yield to her allergies, they ended up baking their own. When they whipped up a batch of Samantha's low allergen dog treats for a local animal shelter fundraiser, the treats were a huge hit and people started calling wanting more. Beginning with Buddy Biscuits, Cloud Star has since expanded to include a wide variety of wholesome and natural dog treats, grooming products, and Wag More Bark Less merchandise. Simple, easy to read ingredient statements resonate with pet parents and thrill dogs with even the most finicky palate. Cloud Star treats and grooming products are made in the USA, with only first-quality ingredients. As part of Cloud Star's commitment to giving back, they have pledged to donate at least 10% of net profits to non-profit organizations that benefit animals, women, children, and the environment. It's a simple premise that can provide incredible results. The company has come a long way since the first batch of Buddy Biscuits was born in the home oven, but they remain committed to providing their customers with the most wholesome and natural products available.

Friday marks 50 years since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. That afternoon in 1963, concert-goers at Symphony Hall in Boston heard the news from the stage.
The concert began about 2 o'clock eastern time, around the same time Kennedy was pronounced Kennedy dead at Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
Before the mid-performance break, word reached the Boston Symphony Orchestra and conductor Erich Leinsdorf.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a press report over the wires," Leinsdorf said. "We hope that it is uncomfirmed, but we have to dobt it, that the president of the United States has been the victim of an assassination."
Leinsdorf rather quickly announced that that the orchestra would play – from Beethoven's third symphony – the funeral march. The stunned crowd stirred, then settled.
The orchestra took an intermission, a spokesperson says, and came back to finish the program.
Here is a longer excerpt from WGBH radio's coverage of the Boston Symphony Orchestra that day:

What if your jeans could purify the air? The team at Catalytic Clothing is proving that is indeed possible. Catalytic Clothing is an ongoing research project which melds fashion with science. In their second project entitled, "Field of Jeans," jeans have been treated with a photocatalyst which breaks down contaminants once it touches the surface of these jeans, when it is exposed to light. The contaminants can then be washed off. Professor Helen Storey (who has worked with Valentino, among others) heads the team, which also include notable scientists and research fellows. Professor Storey is currently Professor of Fashion and Science at the London College of Fashion. Jeans were donated for the project, which was presented at Newcastle University (UK) in March. Check out the air-cleaning jeans installation in the photo gallery here.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of National Defence said that the matter of sexual harassment in the RCMP would have to wait until a new commissioner is named. For the brave women who devoted decades of service to the Mounties and were sexually harassed by their peers and superiors, being told "Now, now, have patience" is an intolerable insult.
Will the government pledge to end this systemic violence not in months, not in years, but now?
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I am extremely concerned about these troubling reports. We expect all members of the RCMP to carry out their duties with integrity and professionalism. Our government is committed to providing all men and women in the RCMP with a workplace free of harassment.
I will be raising this issue with the new commissioner very shortly.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Marjolaine Boutin-Sweet Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, how can we believe that the Conservatives take this important issue seriously when they are asking these women to wait?
They did not ask for more time before they attacked the firearms registry, the Canadian Wheat Board or pay equity.
This government says it is tough on crime, but when the time comes to act it says to be patient.
Can the minister give us assurances that he will not wait for a new commissioner to be appointed before taking the action that is needed to help these women?
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, our government is concerned about not only the women in the RCMP but also about the men who serve in the RCMP.
I am glad to hear that the member opposite has developed a new-found interest in the RCMP given that the member's party has consistently voted against giving the RCMP, indeed all police officers, the tools they need to do their job.
I want to call on the NDP not only to speak out against harassment, but also to speak out in favour of tools that will ensure that we target criminals.
Public Safety
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Rick Norlock Northumberland—Quinte West, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are concerned about crime and they gave us a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe.
One key promise during the election was to establish new lawful access proposals. This is an important measure to ensure the police have the tools they need to do their job.
Could the Minister of Public Safety please update the House on the progress of keeping that commitment?
Public Safety
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his hard work on this matter.
We are proposing measures to bring laws into the 21st century and give police the tools they need to do their job. In fact, even Mark Holland, the former Liberal public safety critic, said he supported these important measures. However, the new third party has shown it is so out of touch that it now opposes new tools for police.
I would call on the Liberals to finally stop putting the rights of child pornographers and organized crime ahead of the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, our seniors saw millions in hard-earned savings wiped out when the Conservatives broke their word and taxed income trusts several years ago. Now the government is sticking it to them again.
Seniors born in 1940 must convert their RRSPs into RRIFs this year, but the bottom has fallen out of the market so their RRSPs have lost value and some have incurred substantial losses.
Will the minister allow them to wait to convert their RRSPs so they can at least try to rebuild their value?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, it is nice to hear that the opposition actually understands some of the challenges that our seniors face.
We did extend that deadline for seniors during the recession but if I recall, all of the opposition voted against that at the time. It matters not what we put forward to help seniors, because the opposition tends to vote against it.
We have actually done a great amount to help seniors prepare for their retirement. We encourage the opposition to support some of those measures.
Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Oral Questions
November 15th, 2011 / 2:55 p.m.
Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, the Comptroller General found that 21 out of 47 contracts awarded by CanNor were sole-sourced and that 17 of the 21 were awarded without justification.
The Comptroller General also found evidence of contract splitting to avoid competition.
The questions are clear. How much was spent when CanNor broke the rules? Who received the money? Who is going to take responsibility for this mishandling?
Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health and Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Mr. Speaker, as I stated many times, we accept the recommendations coming from the auditor. We are addressing those recommendations. This was the process audit.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
John Williamson New Brunswick Southwest, NB
Mr. Speaker, our government is proposing responsible measures to protect families and individuals. The safe streets and communities act would impose tougher sentences on pedophiles, drug dealers and the most violent young offenders. Meanwhile, the opposition wants to treat honest farmers and duck hunters like fugitives, but it opposes tougher sentences for dangerous criminals.
The justice committee has held eight meetings on Bill C-10 and has heard from over 50 witnesses. Yet the opposition parties have begun to filibuster to further delay these important measures.
Can the minister please inform the House about our government's efforts to strengthen Canada's justice system?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, at committee, opposition members are back to their basic philosophy and ideology. They are opposing jail time for serious sexual offenders who prey on our children, drug dealers who set up dangerous meth labs in residential neighbourhoods and arsonists who burn people's homes but yet are eligible to serve their sentences in their own houses.
However, they are going further. They are upset that criminals bringing cocaine and heroin into this country will be facing mandatory sentences. We disagree with them. They are completely wrong. When are they going to start standing up for victims for a change?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Annick Papillon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, it seems the budget cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs are going to be deeper than the minister had given us to believe.
The veterans' hospital at Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, the last one managed by the federal government, is to be transferred to the Government of Quebec. That will be 1,300 fewer employees in the department, in addition to the 500 positions being eliminated as announced last week.
How can we hope that our veterans will receive the same quality of service if the Department no longer has any employees to deliver it?
Is this how the Conservatives thank the veterans who have served Canada? Is this how they listen to them?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Steven Blaney Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, we have one priority, and that is to serve veterans, and in particular the veterans at St. Anne's Hospital, who receive exceptional care. That is why we have initiated talks with the Government of Quebec to ensure that our veterans continue to be provided with exceptional services. I have visited that hospital on two occasions—I was there on Saturday—and I observed the professionalism of the staff and their dedication to our veterans.
We are going to ensure that our veterans in St. Anne's Hospital and our 10,000 beds across the country receive first class care.

...you can at least try. It's worth watching.
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
It starts to come up but then says ERROR - this service not available in your area!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
What a shame! It must be region specific. Although I believe there are proxy sites to get around a regional restriction. It's remarkable in this interconnected, globalised world that such practices are allowed to continue.
Works fine in the UK, but is unavailable abroad. Very good documentary! It's probably on YouTube. Search for 'Channel 4 King of Christmas Lights' and you should be able to find it.
Did anybody find it on YouTube? I haven't been able to and it looks like something worth watching. If it is on YouTube, could someone please provide a link?
I guess it has some copyright stuff so we in the US can't watch it. It says "The uploader has not made this video available in your country", which usually means the up loader doesn't want to remove the sound or maybe something in the video itself. Oh well!
I just can watch it and get astonished. But can't decorate it. It is very difficult rather it is impossible to design like this by lay man like us. Only professionals can design like this.

so does anyone noe when the manga will be coming out?
er...when is chapter 74 is coming out?? cant wait 4 it actualy! =.=''

Last week readers were introduced to the GIMP - an open-source graphics editing program. Like other graphic editors, the GIMP can be very difficult to learn when the related terms and concepts are completely foreign. So here are some basic graphic editing terms:
Fundamentally, cropping a digital photograph is the same as cropping a literal print, as it involves the removal of unwanted parts of a photo. Most graphic editors come with a crop tool that lets the user draw a rectangular box on the top of the photo, which can be resized as needed. Once the crop box is appropriately sized and arranged, the crop is applied (typically by double clicking the inside of the box or clicking an apply button) which means the parts of the photo outside the box are eliminated and the parts of the photo inside the box remain.
Cropping a digital photo also decreases pixel dimensions of the photo which effectively decreases the total megapixel rating of the photo. The larger the area that is eliminated from the photo, the more the megapixel rating will drop.
Be aware that once the photo has been saved and closed, the crop cannot be undone. For this reason, it is often best to perform the crop on a copy of the original photo.
In the GIMP, cropping can be performed with the crop tool, which can be found on the tools palette (window) - the icon looks like an "exacto" knife.
Marquee / Selection
A marquee, or selection, is simply a way of arbitrarily selecting unique parts of the image, or photo. Sometimes selections are contiguous (a single selection), or non-contiguous (multiple selections). Sometimes selections are rectangular in nature, or are round.
Most graphic editors have what is often called the "lasso" tool which allows for non-uniform selections. This lasso tool, for example, might be used to select an individual in a photo.
Most graphic editors also have a "magic wand" selection tool that allows large selections to be made by matching similar regions. For example, this "wand" could potentially be used to select an entire sky in a photo, simply by clicking on the sky.
The GIMP's wand tool uses a threshold setting, which basically controls how "liberal" the selection will be. The higher the threshold number, the more pixels will be selected.
Selecting specific regions of an image can be handy for a number of reasons. For starters, it allows the user to limit modifications, like brightness, saturation and contrast changes to the selected regions (so that the modifications only affect the selected regions). Selections are also handy when moving, copying or deleting parts of an image.
The vividness of paintbrush, pencil and airbrush tools can be controlled by adjusting opacity. When a low opacity is used, paint strokes are subtle and barely visible on the canvas. When a high opacity is used, paint strokes are vivid and bold.
The GIMP's opacity controls can be found in the lower part of the tools palette (window), when the appropriate tool has been selected (paintbrush, airbrush, etc).
Vector vs Raster
One of the most complicated and most highly understood concepts in graphic editing are the two basic graphic types - vector and raster.
Raster graphics are composed entirely of pixels. Photos taken by digital cameras are raster graphics, and so are digitally scanned photos.
Raster graphics have a limited or finite quality, meaning that the visual quality of the graphic decreases as it is enlarged - they look "pixelated" when they are "blown up" in size.
Vector graphics, in contrast, do not contain pixels. Rather, they are composed of mathematical vertices (essentially mathematical formulas) that dictate the appearance of the graphic.
Vector graphics are often geometric in nature and frequently consist of lines and shapes with varying stroke and fill colors. One of the biggest benefits of vector graphics is that they can be enlarged or shrunk, stretched or skewed and the visual quality does not change - regardless of the size, the graphic will never appear "pixelated" or unclear.
Business logos are often vector, and so is the clip art that comes with many layout and design programs (office suites, greeting card programs, and label making software).
In fact, the fonts used in every word processing program (like Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, OpenOffice.org Writer, etc) are vector. The font size can be made big or small and the text is still bold and crisp.
Adding a feather to a photo softens the edges, making them less pronounced. Feathers can also be added to selections, or marquees, to soften the edge of the selected regions.
To feather a selection within a photo, simply select feather from the "select" menu at the top of the document window.
Layers are used to isolate and distribute different parts of an image into different groups.
Each layer has a placement among the other layers, like a stack of paper.
Imagine a sheet of blue paper that has had a hole cut out of it in the center of the paper. Behind the blue paper is a sheet of red paper. Although the blue paper is on top, the red paper is visible through the hole in the blue paper.
Like the sheets of paper, if a selection is deleted from layer 1, the contents of layer 2 below will show through.
Layers are useful because it allows the user to isolate specific elements in the graphic.
For example, a cutout of a family photo may be on a forefront layer, while a scenic background scene is in a background layer, making the scenery surround the individuals in the family photo.
Many graphic editors allow individual layers to be locked, to avoid accidental modification. Many also allow the user to toggle the visibility of each layer as needed.
But it doesn't matter how many times concepts are explained - the only way users will truly learn them is if they experiment with them on their own.

Skip to comments.Obama issues new executive orders against guns (While we weren't looking....)
Posted on 09/02/2013 12:26:55 PM PDT by yoeEdited on 09/02/2013 12:59:18 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
President Obama ordered two more executive actions Thursday to restrict guns, banning the re-importation of military surplus firearms to private entities and proposing a regulation that would close a loophole in background checks.
Also, the administration said it will deny requests to bring military-grade firearms back into the U.S. to private entities, with a few exceptions, such as for museums. Currently, when the U.S. provides military firearms to its allies, either as direct commercial sales or through the foreign military sales or military assistance programs, those firearms may not be imported back into the United States without U.S. government approval.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out for them in the last two decades...
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
President Obama ordered two more executive actions
They're Not Executive Orders...
They're Not Executive Orders...
They're Not Executive Orders...
They're Not Executive Orders...
Obama's coup is due for a stop at SCOTUS. Let's hope he's defeated there. If not, people of the states RISE UP and nullify unconstituional exectuive commandeering of our country.
Amen!!!! when can we start????
The only loophole is the one that Barry is using to go around the Constitution.
Is CMP considered "private"?
As bad as this order is, it should not affect the vast majority of surplus guns that are imported commercially. As I understand it, this only stops rifles that were sent by the US to its allies from coming back.

What they're trying to do is make what we have illegal so that we're criminals. We may be armed, but if we use the gun it's an excuse to arrest us. Even if it's a bogus prosecution, any prosecution would bankrupt the typical individual.
I ain't got no guns.
" Even if its a bogus prosecution,"
Hey! I'm on your side! I wont prosecute anyone!
Neither of these "proposals" is within the administrative purvey of an EO. They are an unconstitutional usurpation of power.
Took two of my five girls to the range today, first trip for my 9 year old.
Took two of my five girls to the range today, first trip for my 9 year old.
Diogenesis, don't you find it interesting that Barry O. is (for the first time) deferring to the Constitution and Congress now as his predicament in Syria escalates...did he just abdicate the Oval Office?
The importation issue is already under BATFE, since 1968. This is just an announcement of a new executive policy, using that existing law. Bush 41 did the same.
Neither of these two EOs is going to get anyone arrested. They're just a poke in the eye at gun owners. Keep poking, commies, and see what happens.
That's the way to do it! My father introduced me to guns and shooting at an early age and that had a lot to do with forming my views of liberty and the freedom of the individual as part of what America was intended to be at its founding.
The US military rifle models available to the civilian market stopped with the Garand. The M14 and M16 can never be sold to civilians, even if converted to semi-automatic action. ("Once a machine gun, always a machine gun".) It specifically exempts the US gov't -- so those 87,000 Garands reported to be in storage in South Korea can still make their way back, eventually. The number of firearms effected fy this must be really, really, really small.
IMO, it's supposed to impress gun-grabbing liberals that he's actually doing something, which he is not. At worst, it's an attempt at "death by 1,000,000,000 paper cuts." (With 999,999,998 to go!)
Based on NICS numbers, Obama has been the best President for firearms sales in history. I think they're losing this one.
"Neither of these two EOs is going to get anyone arrested."
I understand. But the left keeps adding laws and rules and regulations, the end result of which is to make owning and carrying guns riskier. Their holy grail is to make it illegal to transfer a gun so you can't leave them to your children or sell them to somebody. That way, eventually, they'll either collect them all or make everybody a felon.
Government by decree — something is very wrong with our nation.
Maybe we can get the illegals to bring some guns with them, so they can sell the guns on the side of the highway leading to Sanctuary Cities
I've always wanted an M14 (had a mini-14).. So, if I go back to the states, there is no way I can purchase one? :/
Not as such, no...but you can purchase a Springfield Armory M1A, which is essentially a semi-auto M14.
There might be a few full auto M14s floating about, but they'd probably go for something in excess of $20K at a guess.
Why did you indicate that Thomas Sowell wrote the article when the article indicates that Dave Boyer wrote it? Or do I have the wires crossed somewhere?
Mr. Boyer needs to understand that the Supreme Court officially clarified in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer that executive orders, which are not mentioned in the Constitution, do not have the force of law unless supported by Congress.
And since Congress is divided on gun issues (and everything else), such executive orders are pure theater imo. In other words, Obama is probably trying to make himself look like a king making edicts in the eyes of low-information voters.
Semi would be fine with me.. Such great weapons for their time (and still can be.).. and semi is the ONLY way to go for accuracy.
And anyone that has fired a M14 on full auto can attest that it is not a heck of a lot of fun and just about impossible to hit anything. The cost of the ammo you just wasted has to hurt as well
If there was an upside to the M16, it was that it could be controlled on full auto.
BTW, Welcome to FreeRepublic ;)
$1600-ish without extras at Gunbroker.
I hated the 3 round bursts on the AR15s, even.. kick wasn't that bad.. but the range to target makes the biggest difference.. and with semi-auto (price not included), you keep your ammo much longer (so survive much longer).
Unless in training, and it was required, I always kept it on 1 shot.
Recently the president took executive action banning the re-importation of US military surplus firearms to private entities.
These firearms, primarily 1903 Springfields, M 1 Garands and M 1 Carbines were used by our Armed Forces to liberate hundreds of millions of people from tyranny.
They were then lent or given to many of the liberated countries to arm their militaries and guard their freedom.
When these countries no longer have use for these arms they are re-imported back to the US and sold to civilians through the CMP which was chartered by Congress in 1903 to promote firearm safety and marksmanship.
These arms are primarily purchased by collectors, target shooters and citizens that value their historical significance.
These arms do not end up on the street and are not the weapons of choice of street criminals or terrorists.
The obama regime has armed Mexican drug cartels and Chicago street gangs with modern weapons in a cynical plot to increase gun violence so as to create the atmosphere conducive to more draconian gun control laws.
The rationale for this executive action is to infringe on the 2nd Amendment and keep these arms out of the hands of the people that this regime fears most, the American Patriot.
"So if I understand this right - clown wants to infringe our GOD given rights (2nd Amendment) by making us criminals, but all at the same time turning a blind eye to the real CRIMINALS? "
By Jove, you've got it!
In that respect, it's working:
Mayors Against Illegal Guns celebrates the end of imported "Military Grade weapons"
BTW, 1 gun I would LOVE to shoot full-auto.. I believe it is called 'mini'.. I think 2000 rounds per minute.. but I will probably never even see that in person in my lifetime :p
(BrrrrrP.... BrrrrrrrrP... Brrrrp {some target shredded into a billion pieces ;)} ) ;^D
I can see full auto on a rifle at very close range. House to house fighting, in other words.
Other than that...nope. Stick to semi-auto.
I could see the rationale though: it did not take but a bit over a second to dump a 20 round magazine, and the 30 round mags were in the future.
After years of firing the M14, the M16 seemed to have no recoil at all.
Including ammo, it weighs in at a hefty 84 pounds. Not remotely practical as a man-portable weapon, the movie "Predator" aside...
Yes, unfortunately low-information voters includes all elected officials who don't know any more about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers than the people who elected them.
Pass all the UNCONSTITUTIONAL orders you want asshole.
Boehner is for them as he does nothing to challenge the monarch.
Correction (typo) to my own post.. M134)
That would include M1 Garands and carbines, right? We could always use more of them.
We looked at each other like, WTF are we supposed to do about it? Never even seen one up close before and this guy wants us to unjam it?
Maybe if he had left it with us for a few days so we could have some fun, then pick it up later and drop off a few cases of beer for our trouble..........
That's correct. I already have one of each, but I think it's a shame that Obama is preventing these pieces of history from coming home.
Then again, if it only saves one life, isn't it worth it? (tongue firmly in cheek)
Is anybody surprised?
