Christmas Charity Organization
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jean-François Larose Repentigny, QC
Madam Speaker, I have always said that volunteers are the heart and soul of our communities. I am pleased to rise in the House today to recognize an organization in my community, Un Noël pour les enfants oubliés, which, for the 18th consecutive year, will distribute gifts to underprivileged children. For most of those children, this will be the only gift they receive all year. The organization was founded in 1993 by Monique Lemay and, in its first year, it distributed about 35 gifts. Times have changed and this year, about 1,000 children will have a present to unwrap. An organization like Un Noël pour les enfants oubliés could never survive without the remarkable work done by its volunteers.
For all their hard work this year and in years to come, I would like to thank the volunteers of that organization, as well as all volunteers across Canada and around the world, for allowing more children to enjoy the magic of Christmas and not be forgotten.
Leeds—Grenville United Way
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Madam Speaker, on November 20, in my hometown of Gananoque, I and the United Way of Leeds—Grenville hosted the fifth annual Hockey Night in Leeds—Grenville. This game has been an annual charity event for the United Way.
The game featured former NHL stars, local dignitaries and Conservative members of Parliament, facing off for the enjoyment of hockey fans throughout my riding of Leeds—Grenville.
This year's game featured local NHL star Alyn McCauley of Gananoque as the honorary chair and other players included Olympic women's gold medallist and crowd favourite Jayna Hefford, who scored the most goals in the game.
However, the big winner was the United Way of Leeds—Grenville that received $105,000 as a result of the game.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Alyn McCauley, the town of Gananoque and Mayor Erika Demchuk for donating the ice, as well as all the sponsors and all the players and officials who came out to make this such a huge success for the United Way of Leeds—Grenville.
King of Thailand
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Patrick Brown Barrie, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to recognize the 84th birthday of the current monarch of Thailand, His Majesty King Adulyadej. The king's birthday was this past Monday, December 5. He spoke at the ceremonial Grand Palace in Bangkok for about five minutes after being driven from a nearby hospital, where he has been staying for more than two years.
As he spoke to a cheering crowd of well-wishers, the king called for his country to unite in response to the areas worst floods in half a century. He said:
The most important thing is you should not be split or fighting each other. We need to inspire and give each other confidence so that the work we do will be fruitful for the well-being of the people and the stability and security of the country.
Year 2011 marks the 50th anniversary of formal diplomatic relations between Canada and Thailand. Canada is home to approximately 10,000 people from Thailand.
The king has reigned since June 9, 1946, making him the world's longest reigning current monarch and the world's longest serving head of state.
Graham Dennis
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Megan Leslie Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, the outpouring of praise and admiration upon the recent passing of Graham Dennis should come as no surprise, as he was a man held in the highest esteem in Nova Scotia.
Mr. Dennis was the publisher of the Chronicle Herald based in Halifax and serving our province. The Chronicle Herald remains Canada's largest independently owned newspaper, a fact that serves as a testament to Mr. Dennis' personal style of business leadership.
Every morning we see the physical proof of Mr. Dennis' passion for his home province and his commitment to family owned business, as on our doorsteps we find a newspaper that is entirely based in the community it serves.
Mr. Dennis ran the Chronicle Herald from the age of 26 until he died at 84. His six decades at the helm of this paper helped cement it as a central part of the cultural fabric of our community.
Graham Dennis' legacy is truly impressive, and it is clear that Haligonians and Nova Scotians have lost a true ambassador and a much beloved friend.
On behalf of the riding of Halifax, I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Violence Against Women
Statements By Members
December 8th, 2011 / 2:05 p.m.
Phil McColeman Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada and the world are now marking 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence.
Violence against women or girls can happen to anyone, anywhere, regardless of age or income. It could happen in family settings, intimate relationships, with friends or acquaintances, at work or at home. It happens in large cities as well as rural, remote and northern communities. It can happen to a senior, a young woman, a spouse, a mother or a daughter.
A large number of women and girls are affected, taking an enormous toll on families, communities and our economy. Because this toll is so great, let us take these 16 days of activism and be reminded that we need to take action now and throughout the year to end violence against women and girls in all its forms.
Canadian Wheat Board
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, the Federal Court has ruled that the federal government's actions and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food 's conduct on Bill C-18, the Canadian Wheat Board Act were an affront to the rule of law.
The court accepted arguments from the applicants that the rule of law embodied the principle that law was supreme over officials of the government as well as over private individuals. It is worth recording some of the reasoning behind this ruling.
Under the rule of law, citizens have the right to come to the courts to enforce the law against the executive branch. And the courts have the right to review actions by the executive branch to determine whether they are in compliance with the law and, where warranted, to declare a government action unlawful. This right in the hands of the people is not a threat to democratic governance but its very assertion. Accordingly, the executive branch of government is not its own exclusive arbiter on whether it or its delegate is acting within the limits of the law. The detrimental consequences of the executive branch of government defining for itself...the scope of its lawful power have been revealed, often bloodily, in the tumult of history.
Ballast Water
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, our strict and effective ballast water regulations recognize the environmental and economic importance of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Since these regulations came into force in 2006, no new exotic species entering from ballast water has been detected in the Great Lakes.
What is more, Canada recently ratified an international agreement on ballast water. However, New York State's unrealistic requirements would have severe economic consequences. A recent study found that closing the St. Lawrence Seaway at the locks within New York's waters could put over 72,000 jobs in jeopardy.
Our Minister of Transport will work hard to protect jobs and the environment in the St. Lawrence.
Heron Emergency Food Centre
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
David McGuinty Ottawa South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Christmas season is upon us. It is a time of great joy, a celebration of family and of concern for one another.
The Heron Emergency Food Centre has been fighting hunger in my riding of Ottawa South for over 23 years. Working with the Ottawa Food Bank, supported by the city of Ottawa and assisted by the generosity of churches and local residents, the Heron Emergency Food Centre is crucial to our community, distributing over $325,000 worth of food to over 13,000 neighbours each and every year.
I want to recognize and sincerely thank its dedicated team of volunteers, who generously donate their time to meet the needs of so many individuals and families in our area.
I would like to encourage residents of Ottawa South to join me in making a donation of either non-perishable food or money to the Heron Emergency Food Centre this holiday season. I encourage all of my colleagues in the House to do the same to the food centres and distribution centres in their ridings.
Canada-U.S. Border
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jeff Watson Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister announced our action plan on perimeter security and economic competitiveness. Billions of dollars worth of goods and hundreds of thousands of people cross our shared border with the U.S. every day. The action plan is good news for workers and good news for business, especially in border communities like Windsor-Essex. It is good news because it would protect jobs and grow our economy and auto industry.
However, the NDP trade critic, the member for Windsor West, sadly out of step with residents of our region, continues to fearmonger and oppose this deal.
Listen to what Windsor's mayor, Eddie Francis, had to say, "We are all very very pleased with the results that have been announced...because it means now we can get down to business. Now we can allow the economy to grow".
I could not agree more. It is too bad the NDP does not get it. Its rigid, ideological opposition to trade is yet another example that the NDP is unfit to govern.
Canadian Wheat Board
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, as Chief Justice of Alberta Catherine Fraser said in a ruling earlier this year, "When government does not comply with the law, this is not merely non-compliance with a particular law, it is an affront to the rule of law itself".
We saw this yesterday when Justice Campbell said in the Wheat Board ruling that the Minister of Agriculture "be held accountable for his disregard for the rule of law".
This is just the latest in a long list of similar incidents.
In 2006, the Conservatives exceeded their election budget in violation of the Canada Elections Act. They destroyed government files in violation of the Access to Information Act. They gave out private information about veterans in violation of the Privacy Act.
Now the Conservatives have refused to consult with western grain and barley farmers on the future of their livelihood in direct violation of the Canadian Wheat Board Act.
With this arrogant and defensive Conservative government, it is one set of rules for it and one set of rules for everybody else.
John George Diefenbaker
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Randy Hoback Prince Albert, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to one of my predecessors from Prince Albert, a man who was strongly pro-Canadian, a Canadian who was criticized with being concerned too much with the average Canadian, but said "I can't help that, I'm one of them". He said of this land, "I have one love — Canada; one purpose — Canada's greatness; one aim — Canadian unity from the Atlantic to the Pacific".
He built upon the legacy of Sir John A. He saw a new Canada, a Canada of the north. In word and deed, he did make us true north, strong and free. At a convention where he became party leader, he said the words that would serve any great Canadian leader, "It is my intention to unite all Canadians from the Atlantic to the Pacific, under the banner of patriotism".
I am proud that Prince Albert can claim Canada's tenth and longest serving prime minister, the Right Honourable John George Diefenbaker, as our own.
Canada-U.S. Relations
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday we asked the government simple questions about the new border deal with the United States. We got no answers. Since Parliament will not get to review or debate this agreement, can we at least get some answers about the border deal? For starters, will the government tell Canadians how much it will cost and where the money will come from?
Canada-U.S. Relations
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, there has been a lot of detail given out on this very material. For example, it is estimated the costs at the border today cost the Canadian economy somewhere around $50 billion a year. I think we have been clear that the costs of implementation of this deal would be less than 1% of that on an ongoing basis.
I understand the NDP has, from day one, always been opposed to free trade with the United States, but this is vital to the Canadian economy, improves our access to the American market and will be good for Canadian jobs, Canadian workers and Canadian families.
Canada-U.S. Relations
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, it is always interesting to get incomplete answers to certain questions on issues that were not even debated in the House.
I will give another example. A lot of personal information will be collected by authorities when people enter and leave the country at the border crossings.
Do Canadians have the right to know how long their personal information will be stored in American databases? Will it be a week? A month? Six months? A year? Five years? Ten years?
Can we have an answer?
Canada-U.S. Relations
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the American authorities already have the jurisdiction to collect information when Canadians enter and leave the United States. We are trying to do things that will increase our own accountability, as the Auditor General called for.
Once again, I know full well that the NDP is opposed to international trade with the United States and that it has been opposed to NAFTA from the outset. However, on this side of the House, we are in favour of creating jobs for Canadian families and Canadian workers.

We get to know Sean's ladies a little better as he sends two packing and gets ready for next week's hometown dates.
"How cool is this?" says Sean Lowe, looking out of a seaplane cruising over a Caribbean island.
Actually it was pretty hot, as the hunk Bachelor and his six women spent the episode canoodling on the beaches of St. Croix before narrowing down to the four who will take him on hometown dates.
But there was also major drama, major confessions and major tears flowing. Starting with Tierra, of course. She immediately began setting up her roll-away bed in a corner away from the other girls and playing her villain role.
Here's how it unfolded:
First date: AshLee.
"The cougar's back in town," snarks Tierra.
Tierra, 24, explains to the cameras that Ashlee is 32. "When I'm 32 I want to be married with kids and have my family set. Why hasn't she found someone who she can settled down with? Like, you're 32 years old!"
Off go AshLee and Sean, 29, who'll spend the day on a catamaran. But they have to swim out to it. Bikini time! They set out on the water, while AshLee gets teary on camera, saying, "I love and adore who he is."
Back on the beach, Catherine, Lesley, Lindsay and Desiree lounge and diss Tierra. "I want to roll away her roll-away bed into the freaking ocean," says Lesley.
At the same time, back on the date, AshLee tells Sean, "It's the house and Tierra. ... She is not polite. She isolates herself. The girl you get is a completely different girl than the house gets." Sean thanks her for telling him.
They do their own From Here to Eternity scene, kissing on the sand as the waves lap around them.
Later, they have dinner on the beach. "Today's been fun, sexy and romantic," confesses Sean. "I haven't felt this way about someone in a long time." He tells her that he plans to meet her family and wonders if there's anything he needs to know.
"Yes," she says. "There is one more thing."
She continues, "I want to say it and be done with it." Spit it out already, Ashlee!
She says that she was having a tough time when she was a teen and got married at age 17. "It breaks my heart to tell you about that. I'm like crazy about you and I don't want poor mistakes in my past to affect our future, but that's my skeleton in my closet." She said she was married as a high school junior and separated as a senior. "I didn't want to be like this broken girl that comes to you..."
Sean, unfazed, says, "I thought you were going to tell me something terrible."
"Still like me?" she asks him.
"Of course, I do," says our knight in shining armor, and he gives her a kiss. "I think you're perfect the way you are and I certainly don't view you as being broken, 'cuz you're not. Take that out of your vocabulary."
Next thing we see: AshLee standing on a chair yelling, "Hello St. Croix! ... I love Sean!"
Second date: Tierra. She's happy to get a one-on-one date card, but immediately starts complaining about the fact that it says they'll be exploring the streets of St. Croix. "Being attacked by bugs, and the sweatiness and my makeup dripping off, that's not fun nor cool."
They meet up and she says to the cameras, 'I'm hot, I'm gross, I'm thirsty." Shopping helps, especially when Sean buys her a bracelet.
When he asks how things are going in the house, she whines, "It's difficult because I feel like no matter how hard I try... the girls don't want to accept. ... I try to talk to them. I try to get involved. They go do their own thing all the time and don't say a word to me."
Later, at dinner, she wonders why he's feeling a little distant. He's poker-faced while she talks. They walk down to a dock, while Tierra vows to the cameras, "I'm not letting any of these girls stop me!"
To him, she says, "I'm falling for you and hopefully you know that and you go home tonight and take that into consideration." She kisses him, smiles and whispers, "I'm falling in love with you."
Group date: Catherine, Desiree and Lindsay. Sean wakes them up while they're sleeping. He says he wants to see them without makeup. "I hope none of them hit me!"
He survives, saying, "They look really good for first thing in the morning! I was pleasantly surprised."
Says Catherine, "I'm probably the lowest maintenance person here. I just need to pee and I'm good to go."
They're zooming to the easternmost tip of the island, Point Udall, so they can be the first four people in the U.S. to see the sun rise. He tells them they'll head to the opposite side of the island for the sunset later. In between, they'll explore the island. The have drinks at every stop, toasting each other. Desiree turns on the charm, making Catherine feel like she and Lindsay are double-dating with Sean and Des. "I want that rose, really bad," she says. It's the only rose he'll give out, aside from the rose ceremony.
They end the day with a swim. He plays around with each of them, hugging Lindsay and kissing her.
He sits on top of Catherine's shoulders in the water, but later they get serious as they hold hands and sit in the sand. She tells Sean she wants him to know that her dad won't be there if he comes on a hometown date because he's in China. When she was 14, he attempted suicide in front of her and her sister, and he was immediately taken away. She says, "It's kind of hard for me to deal with cuz he's my dad." They wind up kissing.
He and Des also have some alone time in the sand. She starts crying when talking about her family. "It's like ... everything to me." She confesses, "It would just mean so much to me to get the rose today."
Sun-kissed Sean sits with the three of them and says, "By a mile, this was the hardest decision I've had to make ... because I think the world of each one." He says he's giving it to the person who "hasn't wavered a bit from the beginning... Lindsay."
Last date: Lesley. They hug and smile and seem so happy. "I light up inside when I see Sean," she confesses.
But he tells the cameras, "I think I have stronger feelings for other women here, so today I have to figure it out."
They sit on a lawn and she talks about her family in Arkansas and describes what her hometown date will be like. "We'll probably be going to my lake house. When I picture my happy place it's on a lake, making dinner with my family and laughing so hard and telling stories. It's literally the best time ever. I can see you fitting in so seamlessly, it's weird."
She says she wants to tell him she's falling for him, but wants it to feel natural. "It just didn't feel right to tell him today," she says to the cameras. They kiss, but she doesn't say anything. Not good.
Next, Sean gets a visit from his sister, Shay. He tells her he's conflicted, worrying about sending two women home. She's candid and says, "I know you're definitely concerned, because they're all great girls and you don't want to break their hearts, but their hearts will get broken and they'll get over it, just like yours got broken and you got over it."
She asks if he could see himself proposing to any of them.
He smiles sheepishly and says, "Well, here's the thing: I could see the possibility of marriage with all of them, and not one stands out."
Back at the hotel, AshLee and Tierra go at it. "You turned on me!" accuses Tierra.
"I don't talk bad about you. I just say what I see," say AshLee. It goes on and on, as Sean tells his sister he's going to get Tierra so they can chat and Shay can give him a reading on her.
As Sean enters the hotel, Tierra's on her Cinderella cot, crying. "I don't understand why you're acting like this," he says. She smiles, then cries. Faker!
"I have a such a big heart but I'm so scared in this whole process," she says. Sean just looks at her. She says AshLee is behind it and blah, blah, blah.
Sean steps outside to think. "My sister told me if a girl cannot get along with other girls, that's trouble. This is turning into a nightmare."
He goes back in and says, "I'm crazy about you and I have been since the very first night. And because I care so much about you, I just think it might be best if, you know, you go home right now." She continues to wipe at her eyes (although we don't see any actual tears) and have a cry face on. "I'm sorry," she mutters.
He walks her out, and you can hear the cheers erupting across America (and on Twitter). "I can't believe they did this to me," she sobs in the minivan as she's driven away, adding moments later, "I'll be OK, though. I'm strong. I'll get through it."
Rose Ceremony: AshLee is crying (again) to the cameras, fearing that she is going to be sent home because Sean said he doesn't want "drama" from a wife and that's why he sent Tierra packing.
Lindsay has a rose. Three remaining roses go to Desiree, Catherine and AshLee. "This is my husband," a now happy AshLee tells the cameras, waving her rose around.
Bye-bye to Lesley, the political consultant. "Rejection hurts. Heartbreak hurts. It doesn't feel good. Rejection doesn't feel good," she says to the cameras.
And in an odd twist, Catherine's crying. She explains, "I honestly can't explain how I'm feeling right now. If he doesn't want Lesley, I don't know why I'm here. She has more in common with him than I do."

I'm in the process of remodeling a bathroom. Since the location of the toilet and sink were changed from the original, I had to run new drain, waste and vent lines. The drain line was tied into a cast iron drain line which leads to a sewer system. Both the toilet and sink drains are currently plugged up with rags to prevent gas from entering into the house. Over the past few days, I have had a fairly intense odor building up in the basement. It seems to be coming from the area where all the new piping (PVC) ties into the main drain line. I checked the new runs to see if they were secure or if perhaps one of the seals was broken when the tile installer accidentally moved the toilet stack but all seem sound. Also, when I removed the rag from the toilet stack, the odor was present but there was also some moist heat flowing upward. I should mention that we've had several days of 90+ heat. Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem would be greatly appreciated.

At a maximum security prison, Bender meets a famous folk singer and attempts to make a copy of his precious guitar.
I can make an exact copyof this guitar.
Tell me, Dr. Beeler.
Will I need to threaten you?Not at all.
You see, nowadays we can takea unique and beautiful object,
and easily reduce it to aformula for mass production.
I call the process"science."
I'll just need to locate
that guitar imageon your file system.
Whoa, that's a lot of porn.
Where'd you storethe guitar picture?
I don't know.
I mainly hang out in here.
Ah-ha, your folk singing folder.
I'll just double-kick on that.
Got it.
Now I'll convert that guitarimage to a wire-frame model.
There, like so.
And send it wirelesslyto my 3D printer.
By laying down layer after layerof nano-plastic,
it can turn your wildest dreams

After you are stabilized, recovery and management includes medications, lifestyle changes, cardiac rehabilitation and/or cardiac surgery to help recovery and prevent future heart attacks.
The goals of treatment are to restore blood flow to the heart muscle and prevent another heart attack.
It is likely you will have a healthcare team that is made up of doctors, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals. It is important to maintain contact with your medical team, adhere to recommended treatment, and go to any recommended appointments.

Jill has babysat for us, and our expanding family (from 1 - 3 children since she's been with us) for the past 5 years - and I cannot sing her praises and loveliness enough. Our children adore her, often looking forward more to storytime and songs with Jill than with us. She is like the perfect Grandma - only much better behaved! It is only now that we are relocating that I am happy to recommend her - as I was always far too worried that she'd get too booked up if I said how great she was. An amazing carer to leave your children with - we will all sorely miss her when we move.
Tracy S babysitted for us twice this week and has been great. Our son is 6 yrs old and hd immediately connected with Tracy. Tracy was kind, caring, accommodating, offered her assistance and respected his preferences. She recommended differents things to him and took them on board nicely. Our son enjoyed playing board games with Tracy as well as reading and he felt really relaxed. He was looking forward to seeing Tracy again the second time which was great! Thank you Tracy for your great attention and quality time you spent with our son; he really enjoyed it!
Jacqueline has babysat for us 3 times. On the first 2 occasions she looked after my 9 year old in the evening. Our 4 year old was tucked up in bed at the time so he never met her. We all thought that she was a very friendly and approachable person. She has recently looked after our youngest on his own for a morning and although this was the first time he had met her, he was so relaxed in her company and had so much fun playing games with her. He didn't even realise we had gone! Would highly recommend Jacqueline. Mrs G, Cobham.

Two more pics that I liked. In the first one you can get a really good idea about how pretty that pink was and how soft that blue. Pink clouds on a blue sky!! The second is a prospect from my window, over the head of the calm, meditating Buddha, over the sparse tree tops, to a wishy washy mush of colours of the early morning sky.
And here, I shall devise something out of all these endless sunrise pictures. A tag! Yup. A sunrise tag. I am so enamoured by sunrises that I want to see what a sunrise is like in different parts of the world. So, if you will, please take up this tag and click a picture from your window, balcony, terrace, front door...of a typical sunrise in your morning. If I let this go off as a general tag, it just may not get done...and so, I shall get specific. I tag...2B's Mommy (dying for a Kiwi sunrise!), Rohini (how goes it in dear dear Mumbai!), Gauri (you're one of the first ones to see it everyday!) and STS (I've forgotten what its like in the Persian Gulf!). Please ladies...DO do this for me and tag 3 more people in turn and we'll see the sights through many a lens!
Moving on....a little snippet of conversation with Winkie one evening...
Scene : The living room is strewn with all his toys. Cars, mini train engines, and Thambi's rattles are littered all over. I enlist Winkie to help with the clean up.
C'mon Winkie....you need to clean up the toys. Come, I'll give you a hand.
You'll give me a hand Amma?
And so we pick up things, one after the other, and put them away until order is restored. I thank him and go into the kitchen. He follows me there and asks me...
Amma, give me my gift hand.
I have started loading the dishwasher and hear him distractedly. What, I ask him and he repeats the same thing.
By now, I am paying attention, but I don't get what he means and I offer him my hand, thinking that might be it. He too takes my hand in his and we shake nicely. And then, it registers that this is not what he meant and he shakes his head vehemently.
No no...not that hand Amma. Give me my gift hand.
And then, suddenly, the tubelight flashes on. I remember what I had said earlier to him about giving him a hand in cleaning up. That was his first time ever, hearing that phrase. Obviously, he did not know what it meant.
Happy weekend, all!

Tesla Motors Approved for $465 Million Loan from US Department of Energy
Jansen Ng
June 23, 2009 12:45 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Tesla's Model S
The Tesla Roadster
Uncle Sam stands a better chance of getting its money back from Tesla than from GM or Chrysler
Tesla Motors has received approval from the United States Department of Energy for up to $465 million in low-interest loans. The electric car manufacturer had faced significant financing difficulties due to the global credit crunch and resulting recession, despite having an order backlog of over 1,500 vehicles. This forced a
delay in the acquisition
of a Californian production facility and the subsequent plans for
several models
The loans are part of the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program, which provides incentives to new and established automakers to build more fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrid and electric vehicles. The ATVMP was created in 2007 and appropriated funding in September 2008. The $25 billion program is supposed to reduce America's dangerous dependence on foreign oil and create "green collar" jobs.
The program is not related to any economic stimulus package or bailout funding that General Motors and Chrysler have received.
"Tesla will use the ATVM loan precisely the way that Congress intended -- as the capital needed to build sustainable transport," said Tesla CEO and Product Architect Elon Musk. "We are honored that the US government selected Tesla to be among the first companies to participate in this progressive program."
Tesla Motors plans to draw $365 million for production engineering and assembly of the Model S, an all-electric family sports sedan that carries up to seven people and travels up to 300 miles per charge. The company expects to start production of the Model S in late 2011 in a new assembly plant employing approximately 1,000 workers.
Tesla will use the remaining $100 million for a powertrain manufacturing plant that will supply all-electric powertrain solutions to other automakers, greatly accelerating the availability of mass market electric vehicles. The new factory is expected to employ about 650 people in California. Tesla is currently in the final stages of negotiation for both facilities.
The firm recently signed a
deal with Daimler
, which will provide engineering and financial support in exchange for a ten percent equity stake. Daimler will use Tesla's powertrains in its second generation electric Smart cars starting in 2012.
Tesla remains privately owned, with several hundred million dollars in funding coming from Elon Musk (former President of Paypal) and several venture capital funds. Google co-founders Sergey Brin & Larry Page are significant investors, as is former eBay President Jeff Skoll.
The company plans to reach a
breakeven point
by the end of this year, as it increases sales by
opening half a dozen new stores
throughout North America and Europe. Its new London store will open on June 25.
If all goes well with production and sales of Model S vehicles, Tesla intends to produce an affordable third model, codenamed BlueStar. This electric vehicle for the masses is targeted to cost around $30,000, with development being funded by profits from the Model S sedan.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

Chapter 5
The king receives Esther—She invites him and Haman to a banquet—Haman plans to have Mordecai hanged.
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden

4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
6 ¶And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy

Incumbent Republican J. Paul Brown and Democratic challenger Mike McLachlan emphasized their differences on issues at the heart of Colorado's 59th District House of Representatives race in a cordial but pointed forum hosted by the Durango Chamber of Commerce and the La Plata Forum on Tuesday.
Brown, one of the most conservative House members, touted his assignments to "four important House committees" – agriculture and livestock, health and environment, transportation and capital development. He also pointed to his bipartisan success in criminalizing bath salts, an addictive drug, and changing the name of Western State College. He told the audience, "you know I am a rancher and a businessman. You know I was a county commissioner and that I served on the school board of Ignacio for 12 years. I am not an attorney, and we do have a lot of attorneys in Denver, and very few ranchers," he said during the forum at the DoubleTree.
McLachlan, a Durango-based attorney, often reminded the audience that he is a veteran, and said he was a Democrat, "but a centrist Democrat. I want to act in a bipartisan manner, end the bickering and fighting that seems to be going on. Brown has failed to do that, whereas as La Plata County prosecutor and Colorado's solicitor general, I've demonstrated I can work with Republicans."
McLachlan said Brown "says he cares about our children, but his record doesn't look like that. He was the only person to vote against background checks on teachers" and "was the only one in the state Legislature to vote against youth homelessness. It shows he has not learned anything, and he defends every one of those votes."
Brown said he had voted against powerful GOP committee chairmen, and McLachlan said he did not share most Democrats' "basic prejudice" against extractive industries like mining and drilling.
Both men agreed the single biggest issue facing Colorado was the national economy, but disagreed about the best means of fixing it. Brown advocated less regulation and reducing taxes, saying business owners he spoke with told him "they would like to expand, hire more people, but the problem is that they have regulations, for instance EPA regulations. They don't know what the future is going to be, and they're not about to invest lots of money in starting a new business or hiring new people until they know what's on the horizon," Brown said.
McLachlan said while improving the economy was imperative, he didn't think eliminating environmental regulations was wise.
McLachlan said he'd encourage Colorado to acquire a natural-gas fleet. "Natural gas is cleaner than gasoline and petrol, and currently a lot cheaper."
Brown said he, too, would "certainly encourage fleets of natural-gas vehicles with the caveat that it makes financial sense."
The candidates' most passionate responses came after one woman asked the candidates to clarify their stances on abortion.
Brown said he opposed tax dollars financing women's abortions. As far as recriminalizing abortion, he said that "as a state legislator, we can have an opinion, but we're not going to have a whole lot to say about it."
McLachlan said whenever abortion came up on the campaign trail, he was "constantly reminded" that Brown, "has four strong, handsome, wonderful sons, whereas I have a daughter. Because I have a daughter, I have a different perspective on birth control, abortion and personhood, and what I feel is the unconstitutional attempt to unduly restrict a woman's freedom to make reproductive decisions over her own body. I think it is a liberty guaranteed by the same Constitution that guarantees the right to bear arms."
McLachlan said he proudly supported Planned Parenthood.
Both candidates agreed it was too easy to amend Colorado's Constitution, that protecting the Western Slope's water rights was critical, and declared the vast streams of outside money pouring into the race unfortunate but beyond their control.
Though last week, questions arose about the legality of two anti-McLachlan mailers, Colorado Secretary of State spokesman Rich Coolidge said no complaints had been made against either of the two organizations responsible for them. Brown had nothing to do with either suspect mailer, and so far, most independent expenditures have heavily favored McLachlan.

Charlie Ross in Tracksuits and Munchkins
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2003
Did Dorothy know the offside rule? Top Scots comic Charlie Ross takes down his yellow brick road to discover what its like to be a butch guy in a camp world and love it.
Older Comments
George Reid - 03/09/2003
Saw Charlie after reading a review in Scotsgay. And what a breath of fresh air! Kicks the self serving queenie rants of Julian Clary and Craig Hill right in to touch. Funny as Hell. Brilliant.
Ritchie Mellor - 02/09/2003
Charlie's show is quirky, original and unpretencious. His witty and often wacky take on life left me in fits of laughter throughout most of the show. This guy, unlike many at this year's fringe, has an ego barely visible to the human eye which is his defining quality. Watch out for Charlie Ross in London
Ian Butchart - 30/08/2003
Funny as well as original.
David - 30/08/2003
I thought this guy was great - so refreshing to see a gay comic not relying on cheap knob gags or overt camp, when they are done its done with irony in a way I've not seen other gay comics do. Well worth seeing regardless of your own sexual preference
Martin Walker - 30/08/2003
Unlike other gay comedy performers - being gay is not his act. Being funny is. If there is another Footballing, PE teaching, James Bond and Dr Who worshipping Friend of Dorothy comedy routine out there then I'd like to see it. With his unique take on popular culture, gay comedy has come of age with Charlie Ross. Fame awaits.
Patrick R - 18/08/2003
Disgusted! A waste of an hour
Jeff Duffy - 15/08/2003
Not an original thought in his wee gay head. He's the magpie of mirth.
Katherine - 13/08/2003
Wonderful! What an engaging and charming comedian. Kept us thoroughly entertained throughout. Would love to see more.

Comments: I've started using this trailer this year with Amazing results, especially paired with a War Eagle Heavy Finesse jig. I gave all my Paca Craws, Gary Yamamoto craws, every other plastic trailer to my buddy & replaced them with Rage Chunk, Rage Craws & the Cabin Creek Express Craw. You can't beat these three. RAGE CHUNK IS OUTSTANDING!
From: Brownfish: KY 12/7/15
Comments: This is THE trailer for jigs IMO. I use a few others, like Paca chunks, but I'm always going back to these, they have fantastic action and it stays strong on a slow fall. Holds up fairly well, and when repaired with some mend it they will last a long time, even after many fish.
From: Tyler: Grand Junction, CO 4/18/14
Comments: These are great, but I prefer to buy the full-size rage craws for the same price. This way I can cut them to use as a trailer or leave them whole and flip them like that.
From: Jello: Canada
Comments: greatest jig trailer on the market! They may be a buck or two more then competing brands but your gonna have to pay a little extra for the best
From: Brad: PA
Comments: By far the best jig trailer on the marker, Swim jigs, football heads, flipping/pitching, you name it. None better that I have seen.
From: Leon: Ohio
Comments: great for jigs. this bait catches the most fish its probly your best bet for big large mouth and small mouth bass.
Comments: This trailer has the best action I have ever seen. Great jig trailer!
Comments: Awesome trailer, by far my most used trailer when it comes to pitching jigs. Stays on the jigs great, and gives an amazing action when it falls. The rubber seems to hold up well, been using them for 3 years now and don't plan on swithing.
From: Jake: St. Cloud, MN
Comments: Best trailer ever made!
From: Evan: Guntersville, AL
Comments: Great trailer. Cant even count how many fish i have caught with them. the action allows you to swim it or fish it like a normal jig and on the fall those tails go crazy. I have had so many fish just take the claws off. if strike king could make rage tail with elaztech they would be perfect.
From: Chris: Branchburg, NJ
Comments:Great trailer for a chatterbait, puts out tons of vibration.
From:Big J: Houston, TX
Comments:I just started using this trailer behind a swim jig. We caught 82 bass in one day culling to a 4 lb. + average. About half of those came on the rage tail chunk. I LOVE this bait!
From:D: Appley Valley, MN
Comments:Great flipping, very compact jig trailer by far, the GREATEST BAIT EVER!
From:Shane: Hinsdale, MA

Comments: The only down-side to this padded shirt is that it runs short. I'm 5'10", 170 lbs and wear this shirt in Medium. Everything fits well, except that I can not keep it tucked into my hockey pants. It barely tucks in standing up, and comes out as soon as I take a stride. Great mobility and protection. The larger pads in the sternum area have a thin plastic layer in addition to the padding. Everything else is just padding with no plastic inserts.
From: Chad, San Diego, CA
Comments: The padding in the shirt covers almost completely all exposed areas of the chest, ribs, shoulders and back giving a good protection for roller hockey. The shirt is also light and very comfortable to wear and feels like an undershirt (only a little bit stiffer due the padding). The only drawback, itÕs a little warm. Regarding the size, I followed the sizing guidelines provided here and it fitted perfect.
So if you are looking for extra mobility but donÕt want to lose all the protection from your shoulder pads, this shirt is a good option.
From: Diego, Uruguay
Comments: I'm very pleased with this padded shirt. This shirt has saved my sternum a couple times this inline session alone. Good protection for the price and size/bulkiness. I've washed this shirt at least a half- dozen times thus far, and it has held up beautifully, with no visible fraying or wear. At 5'11" and 205 I purchased a Large and it fits ok, but I might be tempted to go up a size if I bought again. If I got down to my fighting weight it'd be a perfect fit, so keep that in mind when deciding on a size. Overall, a nice, durable layer of protection for the price.
From: Tim, IL

The appartment was amazingly beautiful and perfectly clean. The landlords are the loveliest couple you can imagine and they were also really helfull. Thanks a million!
Our stay there was nice. We had a great time. The Charles' Bridge is very near and the castle too. We didn't need any public transport. The place is busy but the windows are at the back and it was quiet. The flat is dark and the stairs are hard to climb with luggage. But our host brought them for us. Thanks.
The Positano Elegant Terrace was just that. We loved this place. We would love to live here! Everyone was so helpful with picking us up at the train and on the way on to Venice they drove us in to Naples to catch the train. This was our favorite place in the three weeks we stayed in Italy. It was heaven and the perfect honeymoon spot. Will definitely want to stay in one of their places again.
Awful! This apartment is managed by Interhome agency, and there is one surprise provided by them - cleaning fee. Then you are choosing a room you do not see any mentions about addition costs - only after reservation. We realized that we had to pay extra 66 EUR after getting booking confirmation.
It is a little bit unpleasantly, but then we came there we saw an absolutely dirty apartment - all the surfaces was covered with dust. And this is is AFTER 66 EUR cleaning! We spent a half oh a day to clean everything by ourselves.
More than that - there was not any blankets there. We asked a charwoman to bring us at least one, she promised to come with them in the evening but did not come and did not bring any.
We was needed to sleep under thin cover for sofa, and it was quite cold.
After all this they took money for cleaning from my credit card without my agreement and did not answer my mails with photos of dust in their apartment.
Don't book anything from Interhome!
Very nice, wellplanned, clean and nice villa. Big and well equipted kitchen.
Thank you very much the appartement was perfect!
Everything was perfect! Really nice apartment and the location was really good. the aprtment was very clean and fresh and it included all things that you needed. Good kitchen-equipment, free internet and nice furnishing.
Nice and comfortable stay. It was clean and very very near to the beaches of cap d'agde and supermarkets and the baker was just a few stairs to go. By bus and train we discovered beziers and montpellier, this was easy to organize. The kitchen was well equipped! Unfortunaly the final cleaning was a bit expensive for our short stay in the 20m² apartment also the bed was not that good and the fridge was a bit noisy, but besides of that it was cheap of course.
Had a pleasant stay here for 4 days. Very centrally located apartment with restaurants, a bakery, a slaughter and an Metro right outside the door.
Some street noise and the apartment could need a major cleaning.
Location, Location!! The apartment is perfectly located in the historical old town of Sorrento so we were right in the centre of everything yet there was no problem with noise at night and we all slept soundly. The owner Giovanna was very helpful when we arrived and it proved to be an excellent centre from which we explored the Sorrento/Amalfi area. Note parking is not included and guests should be aware that parking in Sorrento is expensive, €20 per day! The recommended car park, Ulysess gave us 7 days for price of 6 ie €120 for the week.

How To Fund Graduate School
You may think that because you completed four years of your undergraduate degree successfully that getting into graduate school will be a cinch. After all, you're officially a bachelor of your discipline. You've accomplished something. And it's true, a bachelor's degree is a significant achievement in your life; however, making the transition to graduate school is an entirely different battle.
You're no longer being walked through the process of higher education. Once you're in grad school, you're expected to have it all, know it all, and do it all. One of those challenges is funding graduate school. Different schools have different programs and policies, and how to fund graduate school is an important – but achievable – hurdle for many would-be students.
The Graduate School Admissions Process
Before jumping right into the question of funding, you should look at the overall structure of the admissions process. Your applications packet, for example, will have:
- Your undergraduate transcripts (sent by the registrar's office at your undergraduate school)
- Your GRE scores (or scores of other appropriate standardized tests)
- Admissions essays (and/or personal statements)
- Letters of recommendation
Once your graduate school of choice receives these materials, you may be asked to come in for an interview. If applicable, this is a very noticeable difference between the undergraduate and graduate worlds. As much as this is for the school to vet you as thoroughly as possible beyond the facts and figures in your applications packet, the interview is also where you can vet the school by asking your own questions.
Funding Graduate School
How much does all this cost? And how are you going to pay for it? In 2009, the average cost for a year at a public graduate school was a hefty $21,900. This went up to $34,100 at a private graduate school. With numbers like that, the stories of entire families going into debt trying to pay off loans become somewhat comprehensible.
However, there are some ways to make the seemingly exorbitant costs of graduate school more manageable. Some of these ways are unique to the nature of grad school, as an institute of higher learning and research for adults, as opposed to undergraduate school, where young men and women take their first tentative steps away from home.
Employment Benefits
For example, if you are employed, you can ask your place of work to help financially support your graduate school application. A 2013 study by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 59 percent of the 550 employers they surveyed "offered graduate educational assistance" to employees who intended on pursuing a course of study.
Be aware that this isn't a carte blanche offer; your chosen discipline needs to be connected to the overall industry of your job (a law school application while working as a paralegal bodes well for your request being approved; an acting school application does not). Also, you will probably need to have held your job for a long enough period of time that your place of employment feels comfortable sponsoring you for the degree. Asking for financial assistance only a few months after coming on board would not endear you to your employer, who has had barely any time to get to know you before you're already asking for thousands of dollars to pursue a venture that might distract you from your professional responsibilities.
Certain companies might require you to pay back a portion of the amount upon completion of the graduate program. Graduate school is not cheap, and if your place of work sticks its neck out for you, they can reasonably expect you to return the favor when you have your degree under your belt.
Get a Scholarship
Graduate schools realize that their potential students are not made of money, so they offer some encouraging, albeit complex, methods of affording their services. One of the most common methods is via scholarships, but you should know that the scholarship landscape is very different in the graduate world than what you may be familiar with from your undergraduate days.
Writing for US News, Scholarship America suggests asking your alma mater if they offer scholarships for former students who are making the transition to graduate school. However, this would only apply if you are pursuing your graduate degree in the same school where you got your undergraduate degree. It makes sense that institutions would want to incentivize and retain students who want to remain within their system; so if you're thinking about staying close to "home" with your advanced degree, your school might be willing to work with you.
Scholarships can also come from the government. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science offers graduate fellowships for students seeking degrees in the areas of its specialization, such as physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, etc. Similarly, the U.S. Department of Education has the Jacob K. Javits Fellowship, which promises fellowships to students of "superior academic ability" who are applying for selected graduate or doctoral programs.
Work for the School
The research element of grad school can be hard work. If you're willing to take the initiative and make yourself useful to your particular department and the faculty members within, the school might be willing to meet you halfway. This can mean that you provide research assistance to your professors, or you do your own research for a personal project (which could include a thesis or a dissertation) that would be beneficial to your academic goals and your program's department. In return, the graduate school will offer you financial support, as long as you meet certain other criteria:
- You have to be in good academic standing.
- You have to be endorsed by your faculty advisor.
- You have to be taking the expected number of courses (i.e., you cannot take a smaller course load under the assumption that since you're going to be performing professional work for your degree, you will be entitled to lighter academic requirements).
In graduate school lingo, this is known as providing a stipend for a research assistantship. Stanford University, for example, pays its graduate teaching assistants up to $9,031 for a quarter.
For many students, there is still a financial gap between what grants and scholarships cover and the actual cost of tuition and living. This is where borrowing comes in. Programs like GradPLUS from the federal government can help students who have decent credit and who have paid off their other federal loans. Paying back your GradPLUS loan, however, starts as soon as you receive the money.
A Key Difference Between Funding Graduate School and Undergraduate School
Getting through the payment process for your undergraduate degree may have seemed like a weight off your shoulders, but funding graduate school is a different ballgame.
Certain need-based grants for low-income students, such as Pell Grants, do not apply at the graduate level. US News warns that there is "very little" financial aid for needy graduate students, because schools feel that the jobs their alumni should get upon graduation will help pay off their loans.
Notwithstanding this, you should still file a FAFSA and do so as early in the process as possible. You can qualify for small federal loans, such as the Stafford loan, and these can help.
Graduate School Loan Forgiveness
Even after you submit all the paperwork to apply for a loan and are lucky enough to qualify, things can change, and you might find yourself in a position where getting your dream job after commencement is proving tougher than you thought possible. Finaid.org calculated that students in the class of 2008 were $24,842 in debt and earned only $33,787 the following year. That's why some schools offer loan forgiveness and loan repayment programs.
Before you start wiping the sweat off your brow, loan forgiveness and repayment programs are generally only available to students who intend on going into the non-profit or public service sectors. In 2005, a Nigerian student enrolled at Stanford Law School left the program to open non-profit schools in his native land, accruing debt of over $100,000 in the process. For their part, Stanford offered to pay 85 percent of his yearly loans for the next 10 years, as long as he continues to work with his non-profit venture. US News reports that for students who make less than $50,000, Stanford's loan repayment goes up to 100 percent.
Similarly, the National Health Service Corps offer loan forgiveness programs for physicians and nurses in training, to incentivize them into the areas of medicine where there is the greatest need for their services.

Interviewing Tips
Job interviews might possibly be one of the most stressful - yet important - ordeals we all must go through. They're at least in the top ten. Even the most experienced job seeker gets a touch of the butterflies when sitting in front of a prospective employer. But interviewing is a discomfort we, the working stiffs, must all endure. So here are a few tips to help you knock their socks off and get the gig.
Prepare. Make sure you have researched the company, the person who will be interviewing you (if possible), and yourself! Make sure your past career accomplishments, experience, and skills are fresh in your mind and that you can easily and quickly relate these to the position for which you are applying. Practice answering interview questions in front of the mirror or with a friend or your partner.
Dress the part. Appearance is extremely important in an interview, so show up looking professional and polished; wait to express your flare for cutting-edge fashion until you have the job and you are sure your style aligns with the dress code. Conservative is key. If you don't have a suit, invest in one. Blue or black is best, with a white, pale blue or other muted-toned, collared blouse underneath. Keep your jewelry to a minimum, and keep your fingernails trimmed and polish-free (or wear clear or pale polish if any). Skip the perfume on the day of your interview as some people are highly allergic to perfumes, and you don't want your interviewer to be preoccupied with a runny nose, itchy eyes and wheezing when he or she should be focused on you!
Project confidence. Even if you are quaking in your heels and your stomach is turning somersaults, put on an air of confidence and assertiveness. This is a perfect time to practice faking it until you make it. Look your interviewer straight in the eye, shake his or her hand firmly when you meet and again at the conclusion of the interview, and don't forget to smile! Answer his or her questions succinctly yet completely, but don't blather on and on. Talking too much is a sure sign of nervousness.
Tailor your approach. Pay attention to who is interviewing you to get a sense of his or her personality. Is he straight-laced and all-business? Then you should be too. Is she relaxed, conversational and humorous? Then play along and let your personality shine through a little more.
Listen and ask questions. Show genuine interest by listening intently to your interviewer(s) and asking appropriate questions about the position and the company. Bring a list of several questions you have prepared in advance. Expect that your interviewer will answer some of the questions in the course of the interview, but that should still leave you with a couple to pose. Even better is to ask a question based on something the interviewer said - but if you're like me, you'll be so nervous you may draw a blank. However, leave questions about salary and vacation time off of your list. The appropriate time to ask these questions is late in the interview process or you may want to wait until the prospective employer brings these topics up.
Once the interview is over, immediately send a thank you note to everyone who interviewed you. Personalize each note (don't think writing the same thing to each person will go unnoticed - these notes generally end up in the same file with whomever is managing the interviews and they will all be read) and be sure to thank the person for their time, reiterate your interest in the company, and make a comment on something you discussed with the person that interested you or add a piece of relevant information about yourself or your skill set that may not have come up in the interview.
Throughout your job search, be sure the email address you use to submit resumes and correspond with prospective employers is professional. If your current, personal email address is "hotmomma" or "sexybabe" or something of the like, create a new account specifically for job-related correspondence. The same goes for your outgoing voice message on your home and/or cell phone (whichever one you will use as your contact number). As adorable as the recording of you and the kids or you and your partner may be, save this for after you have the job and replace it with a recording of just you, stating your name and politely asking the caller to leave a message.
Happy job hunting and good luck!

Converse All Star Beverly Girls' Casual Boot
"I ordered this boot for my daughter. She wears a 3.5. We ordered a 4. My friend, who is a size 6 can wear it, however. Overall, besides the size discrepancy, the boots are awesome! My daughter loves them and raves about their "comfiness"! Even though they are oversized, they do not flop up and down when she walks. The velcro strip that closes the boot has enough give so that pant legs can be comfortably tucked inside. They are also super warm and seem to be moderately water proof. The price is reasonable as well. By and large a great value and durable find!"
