Canadian Army Nurse
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to welcome Madeline Shavalier to Ottawa. Her son bravely served Canada in Afghanistan and she herself was a Canadian army lieutenant nursing sister during the Second World War.
On November 6, 1943, while travelling from England to a post in Italy, Madeline's ship was bombed and sunk by the Germans. After stopping to aid a friend who had fainted during the evacuation, both were able to climb down into a lifeboat. Although German planes were still circling, cloud cover allowed for everyone on board to be rescued.
Madeline served with the nursing sisters earning five medals, including the Italy Star, the Defence Medal and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal.
Her service to Canada will never be forgotten, and we thank Madeline.
Jack Layton
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jamie Nicholls Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, this Saturday, June 23, the vision of our former leader, Jack Layton, will be honoured at the opening of Jack Layton Park in his hometown of Hudson, Quebec.
Formerly known as the Hudson Marina, the park offers a magnificent view of the Lac des Deux-Montagnes.
The park will commemorate the legacy of Jack Layton, who spent his youth in Hudson, on the lake, and was very involved in the community there throughout his political career.
This park will serve to remind us of Jack and his legacy, that we should hold on to our optimism, move forward with love and keep focused on the true values of Canadians, values such as diversity, tolerance and social justice.
I am proud to inaugurate the Jack Layton Park in my riding and I invite all members to celebrate with us on June 23.
National Aboriginal Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Greg Rickford Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, on National Aboriginal Day, June 21, we celebrate aboriginal cultures and traditions by taking part in festivities across the country.
Since National Aboriginal Day was proclaimed in 1996, more and more Canadians have taken time each year to learn about the incredible accomplishments and contributions of first nations, Inuit and Métis to our great country. On this day, we celebrate the diversity and heritage of aboriginal people and we honour their unique place in the history of Canada.
Indeed, the traditions and cultures of first nations, Inuit and Métis have become part of the fabric of Canada.
Taking part in National Aboriginal Day is an excellent way to promote a better knowledge and understanding of aboriginal groups and their contribution to Canada.
I invite all Canadians, including members of this House today, to join our community and our country to celebrate National Aboriginal Day.
Aboriginal Housing
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Marie-Claude Morin Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Human Rights Commission reported earlier this week that aboriginal and first nations groups have lodged many complaints against the federal government since 2008.
Not surprisingly, some complaints were about the condition of housing on reserves. We all remember the images of the dilapidated houses in Attawapiskat.
The situation must be serious if these groups have to go before the Canadian Human Rights Commission to ensure respect for their right to housing.
Even today, members of the community continue to live in shacks where living conditions are unbearable.
The NDP has proposed real solutions to ensure safe, appropriate, accessible and affordable housing for all Canadians, but the government is still refusing to work with the provinces, territories, municipal representatives and aboriginal communities to establish a national housing strategy.
When will the government take action?
Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service, more commonly known as the Wrens, as they celebrate their upcoming 70th anniversary.
Founded in 1942, the Wrens have a proud history of serving Canada when we needed them most. Between 1942 and 1946, close to 7,000 volunteers joined the Wrens and served within the war effort performing non-tradition jobs like maintaining anti-submarine equipment, aircraft, communications, cryptology and more.
The contributions made by the brave women of the Wrens as full and equal partners were crucial in support of Canada's war effort. These women were pioneers and their legacy is assured since by 1955 women were fully integrated into the regular component of the Royal Canadian Navy, and they continue to serve in all aspects of Canada's defence, including combat.
I would ask that all members join the Minister of National Defence and myself, the member for Etobicoke Centre, in offering our sincerest thanks and congratulations to the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service on this momentous occasion of its 70th anniversary of service.
Olympic Athletes
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Justin Trudeau Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, for two weeks this summer, the best athletes in the world will meet in London for the Olympics. Nearly 250 Canadian athletes will represent our country in 20 sports. Our team, led by the president of the Canadian Olympic Committee, Marcel Aubut, and his chef de mission, the extraordinary Mark Tewksbury, will be able to count on experienced athletes, such as my friends Adam van Koeverden, Clara Hughes and Alex Despatie, as well as on young hopefuls, such as Michael Tayler and Martha McCabe, who will be at the Olympics for the first time this year.
For Canadian athletes, getting to the Olympics means thousands of hours of training and sacrifice to be able to represent their country in the biggest sporting event in the world. Only a rare few have that honour, so I know it is with much pride that our delegation will soon leave for London.
I want to tell all those athletes how proud we are of them and remind them that, from the starting gun to the finish line, 34 million Canadians will be cheering for them every step of the way.
Go Canada go.
National Aboriginal Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Rob Clarke Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK
Mr. Speaker, today, on National Aboriginal Day, I would like to take a moment to remember the contributions of aboriginal soldiers, peacekeepers and servicemen, such as police officers.
Thousands of aboriginal veterans saw action and endured hardship in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, on peacekeeping assignments and while protecting this great nation. They fought overseas to defend the sovereignty and liberty of allied nations, in addition to supporting the cause at home. This proud tradition of service continues today.
I, myself, having served in the RCMP for over 18 years, attained the rank of sergeant. On July 7, 2006, under my command, two first nations colleagues of mine, Constable Marc Bourdage and Constable Robin Cameron who was the first female shot in the line of duty, were killed while serving their country.
Today, we honour aboriginals who served and continue to serve with honour and distinction in all branches of the Canadian military. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the values and freedoms we enjoy today.
This National Aboriginal Day, let us all reflect on the aboriginals who have served in the name of Canada.
Ministerial Awards
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand today and announce the first-ever "most likely to do the shuffle" awards.
Of course we start with the award for the champagne Conservative, the Minister of International Cooperation, but she should watch out because her colleagues are spending hard on limos and catching up.
As for the most costly photo op award, who else but our very own Minister of National Defence, who spent $47,000 on posing with an F-35 that cannot fly. It was not only very expensive, but also tragically ironic.
The be seen, not heard award goes to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. The minister spoke fewer than 600 words in question period. On his salary, that is $433 a word.
Last but not least, the award for least likely to make cabinet is a tie between the members from Kootenay—Columbia and Nanaimo—Alberni. Here is my advice: if they remove that independent thinking and insert talking points, they will be just fine in about 20 years.
I really do hope these awards help the Prime Minister as he tries to clean up this mess.
Government of Canada
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Ryan Leef Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, let us go back over our government's record this past spring.
We have increased full and part-time jobs, lowered taxes for Canadian families, signed new trade agreements, invested $150 million for community infrastructure and expanded Canada's student loans and grants. We brought "royal" back to our navy and air force and we cut red tape for veterans. We have created national parks and expanded existing parks. We have invested $50 million to protect species at risk. We have maintained our country's path for jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.
In contrast, the Leader of the Opposition has managed to accomplish one thing: oppose everything.
That leader called an entire sector of the economy a disease. He believes the only way to promote growth in one sector of the economy is to drive another one down.
As countries around the world struggle with out-of-control deficits and debt, Canada is on the right track to balance the budget, and while our government rolls up its sleeves and continues on the path to provide opportunity, hope and long-term prosperity for Canadians, we expect the NDP leader--

Oral questions.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the F-35 is probably the biggest procurement fiasco in the history of Canada. There was no bidding process to buy the jet, which does not even work. And even if it did work, it would not meet the criteria set by the government. Then there is the $47,000 photo op with the full-scale model. The Minister of National Defence is responsible for this failure.
Will the Prime Minister clean up this mess over the summer by replacing the Minister of National Defence with someone who can do the job?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the government has not yet purchased the F-35. On the contrary, we have said many times that we will replace the jets when necessary, at the end of this decade. Now, we are in the process of rebuilding the Canadian armed forces. It is very important to give our men and women in uniform the equipment they need. I am very proud of our government's track record on this.
Official Languages
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I know that the Prime Minister respects the French language, and Canadians appreciate the fact that he answers questions in French. However, the Conservatives' political decisions should reflect that respect. For example, the Minister of Canadian Heritage is cutting funding for French-language newspapers, such as Manitoba's La Liberté and Sudbury's Le Voyageur, in half. The minister says that he cannot do anything because there is a formula. But the minister is the one who came up with the formula.
Will the Prime Minister scrap the minister's formula, or the minister for that matter, and save Canada's French-language newspapers?
Official Languages
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, this government's level of support for such activities is unprecedented. Our commitment to the Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality is unprecedented. Also unprecedented is the fact that the NDP fields unilingual candidates in francophone ridings. The Conservative Party has never done that.
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, this spring we saw the Conservatives abandon the very principles they claim they came to Ottawa to defend: ramming through their Trojan Horse budget bill, gutting their own Federal Accountability Act, treating their backbench MPs like a rubber stamp, using closure a record number of times, engaging in electoral fraud and slush funds and, of course, having ministers travelling the world staying in luxury hotels and taking $23,000 limo rides on the taxpayers' dime.
How can a former member of the Reform Party defend this behaviour?
This summer, will the Prime Minister just shuffle the deck chairs on the Titanic or will he get his Conservative cabinet under control?

"These sandals are lovely and ladylike. I love ankle strap sandals, but sometimes the ankle strap is so thin that it either cuts into my ankle or breaks. The ankle straps on these sandals are wide and very soft. I also love that the heel is low instead of flat. I bought the "beige" sandal, but the color is more like ivory. These sandals will be a summer staple!"

Any1 else think the numbers/ timing don't seem to work out right. (Maybe I misread some #'s, or read some mistranslations correct me if I'm wrong) If CC and Joker started this at least 1 year ago for Kaidou, with either weekly or monthly shipments, of at least an estimated 100 per shipment SAD ( since less than that 'per shipment' seems like a waste of a "shipment"); then counting the 500 'subjects' and even if Kaidou himself took a decent amount of SAD, shouldn't there be almost 2x, or even 3x the amount of SAD at least?, then is it that the rest wasn't used for a reason?

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce Series #1) by Alan Bradley (currently $1.99)
It is the summer of 1950–and at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison, is intrigued by a series of inexplicable events: A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Then, hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath.
For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw. "I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn't. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life."

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (currently on sale for $2.99)
Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and the baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations. In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New Yorker, a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of a stillborn birth while their Boston neighborhood copes with a nightly blackout. In the title story, an interpreter guides an American family through the India of their ancestors and hears an astonishing confession. Lahiri writes with deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant. She is an important and powerful new voice.
Winner of the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award
Also of note:
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan
The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Timothy Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, he does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, "the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect" (New York Times). In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is "arguably the best nonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful reminder about the dangers of trifling with nature.

One of my favorite fantasy authors... grab this one while you can, only $1.26 right now!
The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive Series #1) by Brandon Sanderson
Widely acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga, Brandon Sanderson now begins a grand cycle of his own, one every bit as ambitious and immersive.
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.
It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.
One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.
Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.
Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.
The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making.
Speak again the ancient oaths,
Life before death.
Strength before weakness.
Journey before Destination.
and return to men the Shards they once bore.
The Knights Radiant must stand again.

Fitness, fun on display at Disneyland race
ANAHEIM – The 7th Annual Disneyland Half Marathon included dozens of Minnies, some Peter Pans, a few Snow Whites, and at least one Captain Jack Sparrow.
These were some of the costumes donned Sunday morning by runners of the event also known as "The Happiest Race on Earth."
More 17,000 participated in this year's race, with a course that snaked through both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, and stretched across town to Angel Stadium and the Honda Center.
Some runners worked toward reaching personal best times, while others just wanted to have a good time as they dressed like their favorite Disney characters.
Kara Wilkinson, 29, from Mission Viejo, wore green tights with a matching tutu in honor of her favorite fairy, Tinker Bell.
"You have all different types of runners here," she said. "Some take it very serious, but I'm just here to show off."
For the first time, the course included a leg through California Adventure's Cars Land, which opened in June.
The half-marathon concluded a weekend of events that started with an expo and pasta party Friday and a 5K and kids' races on Saturday. In all, 23,000 people were expected to participate. Disney estimates that the half-marathon weekend brings in $20 million to $30 million to the area.
Jimmy Grabow, 27, won the half-marathon with a time just over 1 hour and 5 minutes, a course record.
"This race was simply amazing. Disneyland put on a great show," said Grabow, from Running Springs. Grabow beat the second-place finisher by more than nine minutes.
"The crowd was fantastic. They really got me going," he said.
Thousands of spectators lined the route, screaming for friends and family. At the finish line, the crowd began chanting, "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy," as the actor who played that underdog film character, Sean Astin, crossed. Another actor, Scott Baio, cheered on with his daughter as his wife raced by.
Matt Chamberlin, a 15-year-old from Laguna Hills, said he missed the celebrity sightings because he was too focused on the race. The teen was the youngest finisher, with a time of about 1 hour and 22 minutes.
"I really pushed hard this time," he said. "I'm surprised I did so well. But next year, I'm going to run even better."

@ Artifice,
I don't think Madara should be thought of as needing to escape. He already has a plan and he's just biding his time. I am even doubtful of Madara's commitment to the Eye Of The Moon plan. He probably wanted it as a final tool, but Madara's real HIGH comes from DOMINATING everyone and everything. The EOTM plan would be his final statement of dominance.
As I perceive it now, Madara is not at full strength yet. He will be at full strength After he enters the Hashirama clone he's grown in his lab. If I were to predict, I would guess that Madara will fight the Heroes, and he will appear to be defeated, but after they have finished celebrating, Madara will come back BADDER than ever inside the Hashirama Clone, then the real final battle will begin. If this happens, then Captain Yamato may be the hidden hero (well maybe not. The Heroa has to be Naruto after all).

Beautiful but not comfortable
"Hi all :)!So this shoe es totally beautiful and nice quality, will make you feel like a superstar (it even is expensive) but only if you can walk in them.Size: fits true to size.Quality: a previously said, great leather and detailed finishings.

"I saw this shoe in black in my local store and this was the only shoe I wanted. I left without it because I could not bring myself to pay $99.00. I knew it would go on sale and 2 mths later... 50%off. I picked up a pair in black 7.5.. I love them!! They are sexy with my 5'2" height. They look nice with pants/skirts/dresses..The only thing I noticed is that the tip of the shoe color has scraped off a little so I would suggest putting a tap under the front tip to avoid your color coming off. I sure wish the beige goes on sale.. can't find that locally.. Hint, Hint.. DSW...They are comfortable to me. Standing in them for a long time will make your feet tired. I wear heels everyday."

Almost Home
Robert Cleave
May 19 2011 10:21PM
As a Winnipegger, I've spent the last couple of years watching the NHL's endless machinations to keep a team in Phoenix with considerable amusement and maybe just a touch of anger. For all the talk of arenas and owners, or lack thereof, I'd be lying if I said that I ever felt as if my Arctic outpost got the same level of league attention when things were going to hell in '94 and '95.
So tonight, as the first bits of news have begun trickling in that my hometown really was on the verge of getting a second bite at the cherry, I'm struck by how unsettled I'm feeling about the whole enterprise.
By 1996, like so many Jets' fans, I was completely fed up with the NHL, and yet even then, the economic conditions that had sent the Nordiques away and threatened the Oilers and Flames were hard to ignore if one chose to be honest about the situation.
The Canadian dollar was headed for a lengthy swoon, and anyone foolhardy enough to own a team in a marginal market like Winnipeg was going to need deep pockets and extra revenue streams from a modern facility to cope. Even then, any team in that economic environment was still certain to be a very questionable proposition.
The owner and building didn't happen, obviously, and away they went, headed to their desert oasis so that they might continue a long history of never being very good. My fandom, like most people's, was rooted in local bonds built during childhood that carried on into my adult years. As a result, after the team moved the Coyotes became just another team from a place I didn't give a rat's ass about, no different from St. Louis or L.A. or PIttsburgh.
My indifference was mostly real, with only a slight bit of covering for the disappointment, and that attitude appeared to be shared by most of my fellow Manitobans. The Coyotes didn't exactly carry many fans with them from here, and obviously I'm in that number that chose to gravitate elsewhere.
Even as the league's center of financial power began to shift north after the lockout, there was still that nagging sense that the NHL's move to conquer the Sunbelt was too precious a project to be allowed to simply fail without a monumental effort in every shaky market to prop things up. We've certainly seen that in Phoenix, and a cynic, or a realist, take your pick, might have thought that it would happen again elsewhere.
As a result, the default position for most people was that the league brass would rather die in a fire than retrace their steps to Winnipeg. Time has never really healed the wound here, and if anyone doubted that, the reaction by the locals during these last two years of speculation that a team might well be viable again in our mosquito-ridden hellhole should have tipped everyone off. Bruce Arthur touched on this the other day, showing a decent understanding of this insular spot for an auslander.
This really has been a community struggling very hard to rein in its hope so as not to be crushed if things went badly, and as the events of the last few days have sent this affair near the finish line, I was reminded of an article from the past that had nothing at all to do with hockey and absolutely everything to do with here.
Paul Tough passed through these parts nearly a decade ago to interview John K. Samson of the Weakerthans, and ended up writing more than a few hard truths about Winnipeg and its citizens. I was always particularly struck by this bit:
At the same time, there is a small-town resentment that often gets expressed as a complicated kind of self-loathing.
I can't imagine a sentence that could possibly do a better job of describing the local zeitgeist that has been in place since forever, and even in these days where hope has replaced our normal skepticism about the motives of people in the league office, there's still the clear sense that the NHL is only coming here because of an abject failure elsewhere, and not out of a belief that we were done wrong in the '90s or that Winnipeg was a first choice market in their eyes.
As an aside, it's also, from my perspective, slightly unseemly to gloat over the failure of that other market, for whatever reasons it might have occured. As I mentioned last week, it's not always easy to be a fan in the Southern U.S., and if their team is leaving, the people that cheered the Thrashers have every reason to feel as if they were let down in a way. I've been there. I get it. It feels like crap.
With that all said, tonight is a night where the people here can begin to hope, in a tangible way, that something that means so much to so many will again grace our city in a meaningful way. Whether there is enough support for a viable franchise to exist in the long term is still an open question, but for the first time in a decade and a half, Winnipeg will have a proper chance to offer its answer.

I've heard a lot of names tossed around. To me, the smart money goes with Manitoba Jets (and a re-designed logo) as the new name. Jets gear has been selling here consistently for the past 15 years.
The fans are going to wear their Jets jerseys to every game, just like they wear it now to Moose games. It'd be bad PR for the first game back to have 15,003 fans wearing Jets gear if the team is named anything else...
IN an almost related twist of fate, the Winnipeg Thrashers won the Telus Cup (National Midget Championship)this year. How is that for irony...
Winnipeg will be getting a good young team. Lots of long contracts and future RFA's. Should be good team for the next 5 years. My money is on the name being the Manitoba Jets because this way you distance yourself from the past a little bit while still keeping the most important part of the tradition. No public funds should be used for this however. If the richest man in Canada cant make money off the team it shouldnt go to Winnipeg in the first place.
Glad to see the 'Peg get a team. I always loved to hate them. For some reason I hate seeing the NHL be second best, and there is no way that it will be second best in that town.
Go Jets... or Moose... or whatever they are gonna call you.
May 20 2011, 06:05PM
Not using the Jets name would be an advertising criminal act.
May 20 2011, 07:02PM
Not using the Jets name would be an advertising criminal act.
True but Phoenix owns the name. Sad but true. Maybe the entire ownership group of Phoenix will get raptured tomorrow! Oh Shoot Harold Camping is a liar. http://www.cnbc.com/id/43054329 oh well It would have been a good way for the Jets to come home.
May 20 2011, 07:03PM
Is that a picture of Winnipeg? I didn't know they had tall buildings.
They don't Dave. The land is so flat it just looks that way with the shimmer of flood water in the background.
May 20 2011, 07:21PM
I don't think anyone could know the answer to this problem, but Winnipeg's loyalty to the Jets franchise is... really impressive. When the Globe story was leaked last night, there was a party with a couple hundred people at Portage and Main. There will be another one when the legit announcement is made.
Manitoba premier Greg Selinger hinted at it being Tuesday, which is right in line with the Globe article.
When the official announcement is made there will likely be thousands of people at Portage and Main. They'll be happy to have something meaningful to watch live as they drink the winter away. I think they have to call them the Winnipeg Jets but I do remember during the "save the Jets campaign" there was a real outcry for them to be renamed the "Manitoba Jets" by many people in the province who likely donated to the cause at the time. For me it will always be the Winnipeg Jets. Its the most recognizable name by a long shot. I was watching the price is right the other morning when they they zoomed in on a guy proudly showing off none other than a Winnipeg Jets jersey. A couple of years ago I attended a Pittsburg / Florida game in Pittsburg and sure enough ther was one guy in the stands proudly wearing his White Jets jersey among all the black Penguins sweaters. My wife and I laughed like hell and then took a picture of the guy to back up the story. Its like Forrest Gump gone wild there everywhere with those damn jerseys, including being seen regularly at Flames games.

I don't quite know where this sentiment is coming from. I've lived in Edmonton and I live in Winnipeg right now. Winnipeg's summers are actually a little nicer than Edmonton's, and the winters are probably about the same. The travel schedule will be a little easier for a team in Winnipeg, especially once the new airport terminal opens in 2012. I would imagine Winnipeg and Edmonton will be nearly identical in terms of where players want to play.
Edit: The nightlife is better in Edmonton, but the restaurant scene in Winnipeg is outstanding (except that you can't get a donair here, ever). Roads are better in Edmonton, but there's the whole cabin/cottage scene in Manitoba with all the lakes.
More travel (even with a new and improved airport). Edmonton is already the worst for that.
Cabin/cottage stuff is for the summer season. Most players go home for those seasons.
Taxes are way better in Alberta.
Basically a smaller and seedier version of Edmonton. Right now the peg has a better facility but if the tea leaves I'm reading are right RX2 will be state of the art.
Advantage Edmonton.
Both will be towards the bottom and always will. I think that Edmonton has the edge though.
May 20 2011, 10:01PM
I think it is closer to the Cleveland Browns situation. The team leaves and everyone is heartbroken. A new team comes back that isn't the same franchise that left but they bring back the old name and history nonetheless.
I'd bet they are the Winnipeg Jets again. The new jerseys etc will be close to the old ones but just different enough to induce fans to buy new versions of the old stuff.
Just my thoughts.
May 20 2011, 11:08PM
Travel is going to suck for the new Jets if they have to play in the Southeast for at least a season like expected.
The Manitoba Flood will be yet another team to beat on the Flames. YAY!


text: OverviewBack to top World Centric - Kitchen Compost & Waste Bags Tall 13 Gallon - 12 Count Item# :107054UPC# :814669010030 Brand:World Centric Size/Form:12 Count Ship Weight:0.40 World Centric Kitchen Compost and Waste Bags Tall 13 Gallon Capacity 12 Count (28 in. long x 23.6 in. wide x 0.6 mil thick) World Centric Kitchen Compost and Waste Bags Tall are comparable to BioBags. Made from a mixture of synthetic and starch based plastics, World Centric Compost and Waste meet the European standard EN 13432 which is the strictest standard for compostable plastics, and equivalent to ASTM 6400. The resin for the bags is also BPI certified. The compostable bags are also printed with soy based ink. Currently, all compostable trash bags in the market are made from a mixture of synthetic and starch based plastics. The synthetic content usually ranges from 55% to 100% . The synthetic polymer content is necessary to give the bag its elasticity, stretchability and strength. Please note that composting is required for biodegradation. These compostable bags will biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility, and within 90 days in a home composting system. What are biodegradable and compostable products? Biodegradable and compostable products are made from organic, natural materials like corn, reed grass and bagasse (sugar cane). These products come from annually renewable resources and are sustainably manufactured, non-toxic while in use and decompose back into the soil. What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable? Compostable Plastic is plastic which is "capable of undergoing biological decomposition in a compost site as part of an available program, such that the plastic is not visually distinguishable and breaks down to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass, at a rate consistent with known compostable materials (e.g. cellulose). and leaves no toxic residue." In order for a plastic to be called compostable, three (3) criteria must be met: Biodegrade - break down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass at the same rate as cellulose (paper). Disintegrate - the material is indistinguishable in the compost, that it is not visible and needs to be screened out. No Eco-toxicity - the biodegradation does not produce any toxic material and the compost can support plant growth. Biodegradable Plastic is plastic which will degrade from naturally occurring microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi etc. over a period of time. Note, that there is no requirement for leaving "no toxic residue", and as well as no requirement for the time it needs to take to biodegrade. What's wrong with plastic and Styrofoam? Plastic and Styrofoam are non-biodegradable, petroleum derived, stay in the environment for hundred to thousands of years and leach toxic substances into the groundwater. Approximately 40 billion plastic utensils are used every year in the USA alone, together with billions of Styrofoam and plastic cups, plates etc. Biodegradable products can, therefore, reduce landfill mass by as much as 30%. What's wrong with paper plates? Most paper disposable products are made from virgin wood fiber, which depletes natural forests and the eco-services that forests provide. In comparison, bagasse is a byproduct of sugar cane production, a readily renewable resource and widely grown all over the world. What's the difference between Corn/PLA products and Bagasse products? PLA products are made from corn starch, while bagasse products are made from residual sugar cane fiber (a waste product of sugar production). PLA products work better with cold materials, while bagasse products work with both hot and cold materials What is composting? Composting is breaking down organic material by bacteria, yeasts and fungi into healthy, fertile soil. What's the difference between composting and recycling? Composting involves the decomposition of organic material by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Recycling is re-processing used materials to create new items. Recycling works by collecting used "waste," sorting the materials, breaking it down into basic components and then recreating new goods. Biodegradable products are compostable, while most plastics are recyclable. Paper can be either composted or recycled. Is composting a feasible alternative to landfills? Composting biodegradable plastic, along with other biodegradable waste, generates much-needed carbon-rich soil (humus) instead of filling up valuable land with waste. Compost amended soil can have beneficial effects by increasing water & nutrient retention in soil, reducing chemical inputs, (toxins, pesticides, etc.) and suppressing plant diseases. Many communities have large-scale centralized collection of yard waste and compostable material. (Please check with your community about options in your area or ask your waste disposal company.) Through composting, the problem of waste disposal could become the solution for low-input, sustainable agriculture. How is PLA different from recyclable plastic?The first and most important difference between traditional plastics and PLA (polylactic acid) is the material they are made from. Plastics are made from petroleum based chemicals & additives that are known pollutants and toxins while PLA is derived from corn-based resins (a non toxic and annually renewable resource). Secondly is the way in which pla and traditional plastics break down. Traditional plastics can be recycled or thrown in a landfill to slowly breakdown over hundreds of years. PLA products can't be recycled but will biodegrade 60% of their mass within 180 days in a composting system. It is unknown how long biocompostable products such as PLA take to break down if put in a traditional landfill system. How do PLA products handle hot and cold foods? The PLA (corn derived) cutlery is heat resistant to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Using the 120 degrees F cutlery with hotter foods will make it lose its structure and shape. PLA is not microwave, but it is freezer safe. The PLA products are especially great for cold products. What if I am allergic to corn? While PLA is corn-based, the extreme heat used in processing this corn into the feedstock destroys immunologically reactive profilin. Thus, PLA should not cause an allergic reaction. What is Bagasse? Bagasse is sugar cane fiber pulp, left after the juice has been extracted from the sugar cane stalk. Bagasse is normally seen as a waste product and incinerated, thus creating air pollution. Making tableware out of residual sugar cane fiber actually decreases air pollution and adds value to the material. What are the benefits of using bagasse? Bagasse is 100% compostable and it biodegrades in 30-60 days. Through the use of this product, you are contributing to a sustainable planet. Bagasse is a tree-free renewable resource and provides a superior alternative to petroleum derived products. It will biodegrade and will not stay in the environment for hundreds of years. How well do the bagasse products handle heat? The Bagasse (sugarcane fiber) tableware will handle hot food and beverages up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the tableware does "sweat" with hot foods and some condensation will form at the bottom of the tableware with hot foods. Bagasse is both microwave and freezer safe. About World CentricWorld Centric was founded in 2004 with a mission to reduce economic injustice and environmental degradation through education, community networks, and sustainable enterprises. Over the years, what they do has changed, but their mission still remains the same. World Centric was founded in 2004 to raise awareness of large scale humanitarian and environmental issues and to promote sustainable alternatives to every day consumption choices. In 2004, World Centric hosted award winning documentaries and speakers on environmental, social, human rights, peace issues, offered courses on sustainability, simple living and globalization and worked on a Conscious Living guide. Since there was no funding and as well in order to be a self-sustaining organization, without having to ask for donations, grants or fund raise, World Centric started to sell Fair Trade Products and compostable products in beginning of 2005. By summer of 2006, majority of World Centric's time and resources were devoted to managing the organically growing sales of Fair Trade and compostable products. World Centric as of March 2009, converted from a taxable non-profit to to for-profit as the sales of the compostable products had become the main activity. World Centric now considers itself a for-profit social enterprise, where in addition to sustainable compostable products, they want to work towards making World Centric a model of how sustainable enterprises should be run. In 2009, for example they offset all their carbon emissions, and gave 25% of profits before taxes to grass root social and environmental organizations, and hope to move towards giving 100% of our profits. Their overall mission, vision and values stay the same since World Centric's founding - to make a difference and create a more just and sustainable world. World Centric products are made from annually renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and wheat straw fiber. Sugar cane and wheat straw fiber are also discarded by-products of the agriculture industry and we are using this discarded fiber to make sustainable alternatives to plastics and styrofoam. World Centric Goals To replace styrofoam and plastics with compostable products made from sustainable materials To be a model of how sustainable enterprises and businesses should function To use their profits to: Raise awareness of global environmental and social issues Promote awareness of sustainable alternatives to everyday consumption choices Support grass root organizations working on environmental and social issues Over time move to giving 100% of their profits Environmental Sustainability Efforts: Zero Carbon Footprint. World Centric offset their total carbon emissions by working with two grassroots international environmental and social organizations to plant 175,000 trees in Cameroon and India. Give 25% of net profits. World Centric gave nearly $40,000 in 2009 to worthy charities that contribute toward a more environmentally sustainable and economically viable way of life in India, Kenya and North America. Discounting products to schools (25%) and nonprofits (15%) and have done that since they started. Provide Compostable lunch trays at cost to schools to replace Styrofoam trays with a total donation of over $126,000 in 2009. Regularly audit outsourced factories under Fair Labor Organization guidelines, to ensure fair wages and working conditions for workers. Power their office using renewable energy (a combination of wind and solar) and strive to be a zero-waste office. Proivde $250 per month reimbursement for employees to take public transportation. Have hosted Environmental and social justice speakers and film series since 2004 and regularly host other community events. World Centric Values Integrity - Being honest and transparent with our suppliers, customers and employees. Authenticity - Doing what we say and what we believe in and not saying one thing, but doing something else. Passion - Bringing our energy, our commitment and enthusiasm to what we do and believe in. Diversity - Respect for divergent perspectives, differing cultures and biodiversity. Respect for life - Value our environment and all life - water, air, plants, trees, insects, animals, and humans Social and economic justice - Encourage fair treatment, fair wages, and equitable sharing of limited resources.

Monday 5 October 2009. Pacific Blue Airlines said that following today's downgrading of the Samoa tsunami situation from a disaster to an emergency, it was now advising New Zealanders to support cash fundraising rather than donating goods.
"We've had an overwhelming response from both sides of the Tasman with people wanting to help out, and dropping off goods at our check-in counters," said the airline's General Manager Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns.
"We have been advised that there are already large quantities of donated goods, especially clothes, stockpiled in Apia. We are therefore no longer accepting donated goods at our airport check-ins."
The airline said that after discussion with aid agencies it was clear the key requirement was now for cash donations rather than goods.
"Giving a cash donation – no matter what size – is an excellent way of showing support to the people of Samoa and Tonga," Mr Hamilton-Manns said.
New Zealanders wanting to donate money should visit the NZ Aid website at www.nzaid.govt.nz where a list of tsunami fundraising agencies has been published.
Pacific Blue, along with partner airline Polynesian Blue, has been collecting cash donations on-board its flights since Thursday and had already collected several thousand dollars from generous travellers.
All funds collected are being passed to Westpac, which is an official collection agency for tsunami relief donations.

#1 – Bruce Willis and this B- list split between television and movies actress while on the set of Charlie's Angels. Demi Moore was shooting while Bruce and this other woman hooked up.
Lucy Liu
Is it too late to add Bruce to the list that will be available later today? I'd put him at former A list, now maybe B- list. Not sure if anyone goes to see a movie these days because Bruce Willis is in it.ReplyCancel
Damn Lucy Liu.Didn't know you roll like that. hmmReplyCancel
Bad Lucy and Bruce. I keep thinking about the Futurama episode where Frye buys? a Lucy Liu girlfriend-bot.ReplyCancel
I would tap Bruce. Love the beefcakes.ReplyCancel
Bruce "Smirks" Willis strikes againReplyCancel
But Bruce and Demi were long.divorced at that stage, so fair game.
And hell yeah Bruce could get it. Hard.
What am I missing here? They divorced late 90's (98?) and she filmed CA in 2003.
Again, where is the scandal?
Dammit IJU!!
Maybe because sleeping with your ex-wife's co-star while she is filming isn't considered good form? {Kanye shrug}ReplyCancel
Morning TTM.
Big meh on this one. If fidelity is what you're in to then avoid actors, rockers, models, reality tarts, athletes…
Fidelity? Mmmmm CPAs and ministers will be your soul mate.
Hmm, I always thought Lucy was more of a Ladies kinda woman. I thought she hooked up with Diaz on that shoot.ReplyCancel
Wait they weren't married at the time? then NVM Get that D, Lucy.ReplyCancel
Oh it's in poor taste, sure. These folks aren't known for decorum. 5 years had passed, if she didn't want him 'pulling a Bruce' she probably shouldn't have invited him on set.ReplyCancel
Morning, Queen and Frufra! I don't know about accountants being all that boring OR faithful, betcha some freaky stuff lurks under all that ordered brain matter.
Seven, I also Kanye shrug. Bad form!ReplyCancel
They weren't married at the time, so where does the infidelity play into the scenario. Demi wasn't one of the major stars, and unless Bruce was attached to someone else back then…two grown ups having sex isn't all that scandalous…unless of course this is self righteous, overly religious, former nun Enty…then they are all gonna burn in holy heck.ReplyCancel
@ TTM, a ministers! There are a lot of true crime stories on ID channel about " men of the cloth".. Its big on freaky.ReplyCancel
Me too @Steampunk!ReplyCancel
Scorned: Love Kills is a truly, truly guilty pleasure. That is a rabbit hole of a channel, werdReplyCancel
Brucie would make her pay him now the way her face looks now. At least charge her for the paper bag from Von 's anyway.ReplyCancel
I thought all 3 ladies. .Diaz. Drew. Lui. Had a thang. Going on.ReplyCancel
I thought Lucy had better taste.ReplyCancel
You have to be extra careful when you get close to Lucy Lui's chest. You could easily put your eye out with those things.ReplyCancel
The second installment of Charlie's angels was filmed in 2002, Bruce had already moved out. I know because she had removed him from their insurance coverage. So, in terms of their relationship, it was not scandalous he hooked up with Lucy, both him and Demi were already separated.ReplyCancel
I was going to say 'I'm pretty sure they weren't together during Charlie's Angels' – judging by so many others' comments along these lines they definitely weren't.
Bruce has a lucky face – gorgeous smile, creases in all the right places … he's lovely!
Lucy is great in 'Elementary'.ReplyCancel
I thought more of Lucy Liu.ReplyCancel
I'm jealous. I've always wanted Lucy Liu. DAMN YOU BRUCE WILLIS! DAM YOU TO HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL!ReplyCancel

PRICE-Our mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend passed away peacefully at her residence in the Heirloom Inn at Price, Utah, Feb. 4, 2007.
Gladys was born to Robert Arthur and Matilda Nielsen Meeks, Nov. 11, 1917. She lived on her family's cattle ranch in Bicknell, Wayne County, Utah, till she left home for Brigham Young University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business.
She was the fourth daughter of six sisters, five of whom lived to maturity, who remained close throughout their entire lives. She nor her sisters ever forgot their roots and always loved their home in Utah's Wayne Wonderland where they felt they received every advantage necessary to live life to the fullest. We are sure that after finding our father, it is those folks she looked for when first she stepped beyond the veil.
Gladys was a school teacher who started out in 1941 as the only teacher at the Cainville School in Wayne County; she was the last teacher there. After that school was closed she spent the rest of her career with the Carbon County School District, retiring in 1979.
She was always proud of Carbon County Schools and CEU. She loved her students and found great satisfaction in their accomplishments. She enjoyed going to class reunions and visits that were extended to her at home by her students.
She married Wallace Mathis, from Price in the Manti Temple, in June of 1942. This began her life as a cattle rancher's wife, a role she found pleasing and satisfying.
Gladys was always active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many positions in the MIA, Primary, Sunday School and Relief Society. It was the Relief Society, which she came to mostly after she retired from school teaching, where she found her special place and loved serving with her sisters there. It was her goal to be an "angel of mercy."
The couple endured Wallace's service in the Pacific during World War II, and began their family as soon as they could after his return from the war. She was always grateful for Dr. Quinn Whiting who helped them get their family started. She was a wonderful mother.
Their children are Robert Arthur (Barbara) Mathis, Midway, Utah, Katherine Mathis (Arthur L) Reid, Sandy, Utah, Scott Wallace (Donna) Mathis, Price, Utah.
She was grandmother to eight grandchildren, Jason Robert (Marie) Mathis, Heber City, Utah, Brian Alan (Camille) Lighthall, Schoolcraft, Mich., MaryAnn Mathis, Heber City, Tanner Scott (MaeDean) Mathis, Price, Utah, Charnae Darlene Mathis (Lance) Donathon, Price, Utah, Chanda Dawn Mathis (Brooke) Dotson, Price, Utah, McKenzie Reid (Joseph) Hansen, Morgan, Utah, Emily Reid, Sandy, Utah. She had 12 great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her husband, her parents, her sisters Cora Elizabeth Meeks, Romania Meeks Wise, Margaret Meeks Huber and Mary Ethel Meeks Bishop.
She is survived by her sister, Arthur Meeks Cooper of Mesa, Ariz., her children, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren.
She and Wallace lived their married life on the family farm south of Price, where she stayed till she moved to the Heirloom Inn, a lovely assisted living facility in Price. There she not only found accommodations that suited her taste, but she also found a home where she received kind thoughtful care to the end of her days.
The family is grateful for the care extended to her by the staff at Heirloom and the Rocky Mountain Hospice Service.
The family will receive visitors at the Fausett Mortuary, 680 East 100 South, Price, Utah from 6-8 p.m., Feb. 7, 2007. Funeral Services will be at the Price Sixth Ward Chapel, 300 West 500 South, Price, Utah at 11 a.m., Feb. 8, 2007. The family will receive visitors at the Chapel beginning at 10 a.m. prior to the service at the church. Interment will be at the Price City Cemetery following the service, under the direction of Fausett Mortuary 435-637-1181.

He enjoyed photography, travel, and the outdoors, especially the mountains of Central Utah. From January 1998 to January 2007 he served as the mayor of Emery Town. He was known for his sense of humor. He wanted the youth of Emery Town to have fun and be safe, as they were very important to him.
Mike served on many boards and organizations and enjoyed the camaraderie these provided. He had just received his 10-year pin in December for driving the Emery County ambulance. He had enjoyed frequently attending the Manti Temple and getting around to some of the other temples in the area. On the day of his death he had been approved to be an ordinance worker at the Manti Temple.
His grandchildren, and the good people of Central Utah will especially miss Mike.

: : I have water hammer and I am trying to understand it better. Thanks to those who have helped me already.
: : I have reviewed everything I can find on water hammer including the last two years of this wonderful site.
: : My 2 questions are:
: : if water hammer is caused by air trapped in the pipes, how does the air get there? I know when repairs are done, air will be in the pipes until it is expelled through a faucet valve or whatever. After that, shouldn't the system stay closed with no air getting in?
: : Could I have some problem which is causing air to get into the plumbing system?
: : I am working with the plumbing contractor who built my home. We have already added arrestors and a new pressure reducer valve. I still have water hammer.

For the first 14 years of his life, Yukio Tanaka has been one heck of a boring guy. He has no hobbies, weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality. He yearns for an exciting life, but his shy, and somewhat neurotic personality make him his own worst enemy. Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets Ryusuke Minami, a wild and unpredictable 16-year old fresh from America, who happens to be in a rock-and-roll band named after his Frankenstein-like patched dog--Beck.
After that, Ryuusuke starts recluting members for his new band and Koyuki starts playing the guitar with the goal to join the band.
BECK, by Harold Sakuishi
Anybody reads this? It's one of my favourites manga, it's really awesome, realistic and original. Maybe the main characters shouldn't be so unlucky everytime and grow up a bit, but hey, it's great anyway . When Beck group make Lives the pages of the chapter are pure awesomeness.

When the great American intellectual Pink mused, "Let's get the party started," she implored us to turn up the volume and dance until sweat dripped to the floor. GrabOne always takes philosophers seriously, so we've decided to heed the advice of the flamingo-haired one. Today, you can grab a HouseParty Rise2 wireless speaker dock for your iProduct for only $93.
How it works:
The HouseParty Rise 2 system is Bluetooth power iProduct dock that enables you to control your speakers remotely. Instead of restricting your iProduct to the dock, you can now control the music blaring from the speakers no matter where you are. The aptX Bluetooth technology ensures that the quality of the sound is indistinguishable regardless of whether the iProduct is docked or connected remotely. This freedom will add a new dimension to your music listening experience.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
