Mr. Speaker, on October 13, Enerkem was selected as one of the 100 best clean technology companies as part of the 2010 Global Cleantech 100, which "highlights the most promising private clean technology companies from all around the world.... These companies are the most likely to make the most significant market impact over the next five to 10 years".
The company produces green fuels using waste materials, such as household garbage, thereby actively pursuing environmental goals that are very important to Quebeckers. Enerkem operates two plants in the Eastern Townships, one of them in Westbury.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I would like to congratulate Enerkem on being selected for this prestigious distinction, which makes it one of the environmental jewels in our region's crown. On behalf of the people of Compton—Stanstead, I wish the company every success in its pursuit of environmental innovation.

Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, I attended a dinner to honour Dr. Celia Ross, who has retired as president of Algoma University.
The community recognized Celia's outstanding contribution and the extraordinary growth of our university. Algoma University now has over 1,200 students and is expanding to Timmins and Brampton. Its 10% growth in enrolment is well above the Ontario average and includes more international students.
In 12 years, Dr. Ross introduced studies in community economics and social development and computer games technology.
Strongly committed to supporting Anishinaabe communities, Celia helped affirm Algoma University's core partnership with the Shingwauk Education Trust. With her leadership, Algoma received its own charter in 2008.
I congratulate Dr. Ross, Algoma University and its new president, Richard Myers from New Brunswick. Algoma's future is very bright indeed.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are a very generous people who have clearly supported their government in sharing some of Canada's prosperity with the global family.
On behalf of Canadians, CIDA has delivered program funding that provides medical and food aid, economic assistance and democratic infrastructure. CIDA is the government's face of our citizens' compassion.
Many dedicated Canadians are working in foreign countries lending a hand up to those less fortunate and making certain the funds are spent on the most needy.
Today I would also like to salute the non-government organizations representing Canada in providing humanitarian aid to countries all over the globe. Canadians believe in the creed that "to those much is given, much is expected".
Today let us thank Canadians on the ground in foreign fields that are sharing the message of our caring and compassion. May the fruits of their toil be one of hope, peace and understanding.
Casa dos Açores do Ontario

2:05 p.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased on behalf of the Parliament of Canada to recognize Casa dos Açores do Ontario located in my Davenport riding as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Canada's long and storied history with the Azores dates back hundreds of years. The nine lush islands of the Azores has for mariners formed a welcome horizon over the Atlantic Ocean with Canada to the west. For the 400,000 Canadians of Portuguese origin who were born in the Azores, both places are special in their hearts.
The Azores is home to many esteemed poets and the first two presidents of Portugal. As the first Canadian member of Parliament to have been born in the Azores, I share this pride.
Azoreans on both sides of the Atlantic cherish their country of birth, the place they have always considered their homeland. For the past 25 years, Casa dos Açores has helped build bridges between two neighbours: Canada and the Azores.
I would like to congratulate Casa dos Açores on this special anniversary.

Mr. Speaker, I was very pleased to participate in the opening ceremonies for the Kings Mutual Century Centre, known in the Annapolis Valley as the Apple Dome, located in Berwick, recognized as the apple capital of Nova Scotia.
This amazing complex was made possible because dedicated volunteers from several communities joined together and spent many years bringing it to fruition. The planning, the fundraising and the level of co-operation was phenomenal.
Visiting former NHL star, Rick Middleton, could not believe this incredible facility was located in a small town in Nova Scotia. Several times he commented on what people can do when they have vision, dedication and co-operation. The Apple Dome is debt free and is already booked solid with activities.
I am proud that our government supported this wonderful initiative as part of Canada's economic action plan. It has been a great economic boost for this region and a great asset for future development.
I congratulate all of the wonderful volunteers who made the Apple Dome dream come true.
Status of Women

Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government is once again trying to impose its ideological agenda on Quebec women by reopening the abortion debate. The chair of the anti-abortion caucus introduced a bill meant to isolate women who are considering the procedure.
It is not just domestically that this government is calling into question a woman's right to choose. While the minister responsible for CIDA is announcing her child and maternal health plan for the 10 poorest countries, we still do not know whether the organizations that offer abortion-related services will continue to be funded. All forms of birth control, including abortion, should be funded by this plan.
The Fédération du Québec pour le planning des naissances, the Fédération des femmes du Québec and Action Canada for Population and Development are just some of the organizations that oppose these backward and ideological decisions. The Conservative government must stop tampering with the hard-won rights of women once and for all.
Freedom of Religion
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, one of the bedrock principles of Canadian society is the freedom to believe as we choose and the freedom to worship without intimidation. This is not how things work everywhere in this world. Yesterday, we got another glimpse of the very real pain that extremism and intolerance cause.
We mourn today the death of dozens of people in Baghdad who, when they woke up yesterday, wanted nothing more than to go to their church and to worship their God. They never got to. Interrupted by a car bomb, the Our Lady of Salvation Church was overrun by a group of armed thugs who first shot the priest, then herded the congregation into an enclosed area and set off explosives when the Iraqi authorities launched a rescue attempt.
This misguided and evil act needs to be denounced.
Perhaps the Pope expressed it best when he called it "absurd violence, made more ferocious because it was directed against unarmed people gathered in the house of God".
While it may not seem to us that our words coming from so far away can make a difference, we must still say them, and from this distance, we pray for God's mercy on both the victims and their attackers.
Chinese Canadians

Ujjal Dosanjh Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, in June of this year, CSIS director, Richard Fadden, accused municipal politicians in British Columbia and provincial politicians in at least two provinces of being under the influence of a foreign government and then went on to identify China as a country aggressively engaging in this practice.
The people of the Chinese community were justifiably outraged. They were being accused of being disloyal Canadians.
At the public safety committee, Mr. Fadden failed to clarify his remarks and failed to apologize saying that he would forward a report to the minister. The minister has not adequately shared that report with Canadians. Mr. Fadden must apologize and, if not, he must resign. Failing that, the minister must ask Mr. Fadden to resign and, if not, the minister himself must resign.
As for the Prime Minister, his silence is deafening and insulting to all Chinese Canadians.
Veterans' Week
Statements By Members
November 1st, 2010 / 2:10 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, this year, Canadians mourned the loss of our last first world war veteran, Mr. John Babcock. After a long and full life of 109 years, his passing was a significant reminder that we must keep the memory of his great generation alive.
During Veterans' Week, let us remember historic milestones of the first world war which are synonymous with our proud military heritage: Passchendaele; the Battle of the Somme at Beaumont-Hamel; and the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Throughout these battles, regiments from coast to coast saw action together to forge a new and stronger sense of Canadian identity.
Ninety-two years ago, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns of the first world war fell silent. This November 11, our nation will pause to remember the generations of Canadians who have bravely served for our country and we will honour those who continue to serve today.

Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, the many people who knew, respected and loved Sandy Cameron mourn his death and the loss we will experience.
His decades of leadership, compassion and hard work in the downtown eastside helped countless people. Sandy's enduring and thoughtful columns in the Carnegie Newsletter, his books of poetry and his work at the Carnegie Learning Centre, as well as his kind and gentle ways of helping people, are things that inspired a whole community.
He told us and recorded our history. He was a wonderful teacher, a mentor and a guide who, along with his partner of 25 years, Jean Swanson, helped forge a strength of community that is legendary across Canada.
Most of all, Sandy worked for social justice and peace. He believed and lived that it came from the people. His unwavering belief in our own ability to create a better world without violence and inequality is what he left us. The best thing we can do is carry on that work because that is what he would expect us to do.
We thank Sandy for the gifts he gave us. His words live on.
Veterans' Week

Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, next week, Canadians across the country will mark Veterans' Week. As we remember our veterans, we take a special moment to honour the many Canadian aboriginal people who joined in the fight to protect the values and freedoms we continue to enjoy today.
Canadian aboriginal veterans have reason to be proud of their wartime contributions. More than 7,000 first nations people served in the first and second world wars and the Korean war, along with an unknown number of Inuit, Métis and non-status aboriginal people.
Many aboriginal people currently serve in the Canadian armed forces. These people overcame cultural challenges and made impressive sacrifices and contributions to help our country.
As the granddaughter of a Métis veteran, I can testify that their courage, sacrifices and accomplishments are a source of pride to their families, communities and all Canadians.
This Veterans' Week we honour their legacy. This Veterans' Week we remember.
1995 Referendum
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Daniel Paillé Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, 15 years ago, with my colleague from Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, who was also a minister in the Parizeau government, I asked Quebeckers "the national question". With an unprecedented voter turnout where 4.8 million votes were cast, representing more than 94% of the electorate, our country slipped through our fingers by 54,000 votes.
There is nothing left to say about this result, which nevertheless was respected because that is how things work in a democracy. Since then, Canada has continued to define itself as a country, a country that we do not identify with and a country that does not bring us together.
Now Quebec has a choice: face the music and join the ranks of the provinces or achieve its destiny as an independent, sovereign country. Moving Quebec toward sovereignty, continuing this fight here and elsewhere, is why we are still here and we will be here until Quebec is free and independent.

Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, under our system of government, the cabinet has the collective constitutional responsibility to decide the policies and direction of the nation and administer the day-to-day operations.
Earlier this year, the Prime Minister made the decision to do away with the long form census and replace it with a shorter voluntary form. The voluntary form will not be nearly as accurate, and this decision has been opposed by almost every group, organization and individual in Canada.
The Prime Minister made this decision without consulting Canadians, interested stakeholders, his own caucus or the cabinet. In allowing a decision to be made in this manner, all members of cabinet violated their constitutional responsibility and breached the oath all members took when they were sworn into cabinet.
I do not expect the Prime Minister to admit this mistake and make the right decision. However, I am calling on all members of cabinet to carry out the responsibilities given to them under our country's Constitution and do the right thing: reinstate the long form census.
National Defence
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, once again, the Bloc has shown that it cannot be taken seriously when it comes to our armed forces. It is all over the map on the F-35 fighter jets.
Last Friday, the Bloc finance critic stated that he was opposed to buying the F-35 jets and said, "If I were the finance minister, I would take the fighter jet money and use it for more pressing needs". Yet, the previous day, the Bloc member for Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel gave a passionate defence of economic spinoffs of the F-35 procurement. He said, and I quote, "Reversing this decision would have serious consequences for the Canadian aerospace industry, particularly in Quebec. Our workers do not need uncertainty. Too many jobs depend on this, especially in the Montreal-Mirabel aerospace sector."
Once again, the Bloc is contradicting itself rather than being honest with Quebeckers. Once again, the Bloc is showing its true colours: it will say anything. Quebec deserves better. The Bloc is not serving Quebeckers.
Potash Industry
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, the government wants Canadians to be quiet about the sell-off of Saskatchewan's potash industry to foreign control. It does not want to hear anything more.
The Conservatives negotiated with a hostile bidder over the weekend, but now they do not want to listen to anyone else, not even the Premier of Saskatchewan.
Since the Minister of Industry had lots of time to tweet this weekend about going to bed early, having a nice romantic dinner, enjoying a hockey game and watching a Hallowe'en movie, will he be able to assure Saskatchewan that its premier's advice has been heard and heeded?

The United States Postal Service's recent announcement it will cease Saturday delivery of mail in August is only the latest effort to cut costs. Post office locations across western New England are facing potential closing, or more likely, reduced operating hours.
Some 38 small post offices in Western Massachusetts are on a nationwide list of post offices facing cost-cutting measures ranging from cuts in operating hours to outright closing. In a process that began last summer, residents in the affected communities—which include Lenoxdale, Ashley Falls, Plainfield, ShuteSbury [Shutes-berry] and Middlefield—are being invited to public discussions to weigh in on potential remedies, such as reducing counter hours, or even moving some functions to nearby businesses that remain open to the public longer hours than the post office would.
The most popular option, according to northeast USPS spokesperson Christine Dugas, is a simple reduction in operating hours.
"What we heard from our customers was that they would prefer to keep the rural post offices open even if it meant they would have to do so at reduced hours."
Almost all of the affected post offices currently have counter staff available eight hours a day. The proposal is to cut those down to 6, 4 or 2 hours. Residents typically can still access post office boxes after hours.
The next community meetings about western Massachusetts post offices will be at Hatfield Town Hall on February 20th, and the National Spiritual Alliance in Lake Pleasant the same afternoon.

Skip to comments.Simcha Fisher: Lets All Panic Over Franciscogenic Papal Change!!!!!!!(contains a jaw-dropping item)
Posted on 10/05/2013 5:56:39 PM PDT by Mrs. Don-o
This morning, I read Dolan confirms error in Scalfari interview in the National Catholic Reporter....Dolan said, the sequence put on the popes lips by Scalfari is out of order.
"Francis did not hesitate before accepting his election, Dolan said, although there was a moment later when he paused in prayer before stepping out onto the balcony for the Habemus Papam announcement."
Okay, not such a big deal, right? Were still weathering this huge FRANCIS CRISIS, which is going to spell DOOM AND DISASTER for everybody and everything, and the SEA LEVELS WILL RISE and there will be GIRL CARDINALS, and puppy dog cardinals, and Benedicts name will be chiseled off all the walls, and the speaking of Latin will be punished with excommunication, and there will be dogs and cats living together, and so on.
Then theres this:
"Respected French Vatican writer Jean-Marie Guénois confirmed with Scalfari that he didnt tape the interview, nor did he take notes, so the text was an after-the-fact reconstruction."
....He didnt tape the interview. He didnt take notes.
....He didnt tape the interview. He didnt take notes.
....He didnt tape the interview. He didnt take notes.
Im just a teeny, two-bit, part-time writer on the very outer fringes of what could possibly be considered journalism, and even I know that this is outrageous. Insanely irresponsible. Something that should make people lose their jobs and all credibility forever. Holy shit. As my sister Devra Torres said, So were commenting on a bad translation of a hazy memory in the mind of a presumably heavily biased source. One more thing? Scalfari is 88 years old. But Im sure his memory is completely accurate.
So, I know this is a big deal. But not for one second do I think that the Francis haters will so much as bat an eye. Well get a shrug and a grimace, and theyll continue with their self-congratulatory dirge celebrating mourning this tragic decline of the papacy.
Why? Because Francis haters are like the prophets of climate change. No matter what happens, its just more evidence for what theyve been telling us all along. Got a hurricane? Expect to see more and more of this kind of thing, because climate change! One of the calmest hurricane seasons in the last 62 years/? Continue to panic! Because climate change! Polar ice caps melting? You see, thats climate change! Polar ice caps growing and getting icier? Have you not been listening???? This is classic climate change.
When youre completely wedded to the idea of anthropogenic climate change, bad news is bad news, and good news is bad news, too.
Same with the Francis haters. Absolutely anything you say about the man and about the demonstrable, incontrovertable good effects of his papacy its all just more evidence of bad news. They dont like what he says, and then they hear that he didnt actually say it, and the response is, Im tired of the excuses! Okay. So youre tired of the truth? Yeah, I thought so.
Even things that have nothing to do with him are magically attributed to his malign influence. And when we hear about oh, people becoming interested in the Church again . . . people asking their Catholic friends questions, because theyve heard theres something interesting going on in Rome . . . people considering joining RCIA, or getting their marriages regularized, or going to confession in droves . . . well, there you have it. Proof that Francisogenic Papal Change is ruining the Church. Because they are not the right kind of people, you see. Their hearts arent having the right kind of conversion. Their experience of the love and mercy of Christ isnt authentic enough. How can you be so blind? THIS IS A CRISIS, PEOPLE.
Because if its not a crisis, we might have to change how we look at the world.
Well, we shall see, wont we. If the climate really is changing, theres not a hell of a lot we can do about it. If Francis really is ushering in a new era, he is the Pope, and he calls the shots. So well see whats changing, and why, and how it all shakes out. Im putting my faith in the Holy Spirit. If youve been paying any attention at all, youll know that
"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going."
The wind is blowing, and so far, it feels good.
I am getting Papal fatigue. The Fog of Words has taken over. I am drifting.
Pope Francis needs to have his own secretary present with a tape recorder, for his own defence later, from scandalous falsehoods that are being created by those opposed to him specifically and Christianity in general.
I think Simcha is missing the point. What kind of knucklehead pope lets himself get used this way? Why does he so desperately need to go it alone that he disdains resources at his disposal whose express purpose is to prevent screwups like this?
For a second there I though that was YOUR rant - no linkage.
Good post.
Francis needs to get Lombardi out of there and get an intelligent, savvy person in that position. Even some of the problems experienced by the very careful BXVI were the fault of Lombardi's incompetence.
I don't know why BXVI and Francis were/are both so devoted to Lombardi.
Pope Francis needs to stop giving interviews.
His resources are not good. The Vatican has fallen down on the press office position time and again.
Navarro Valls was the last good one, and he probably kept JPII from being charged with heresy for things like kissing the Koran and making very ambiguous statements on a lot of things.
Francis is actually, IMHO, much more orthodox than JPII, but as long as the ham-fisted, not-savvy Lombardi is there, he's going to have problems.
I for one am going to pretty much ignore anything coming out of Rome for the foreseeable future.
No responsible person sits down for an "interview" with a "journalist" where there is no tape recorder or even a note pad.
I thought Greg Burke was supposed to be the new communications expert. The guy who understands how to handle the media. What does he do for his pay check?
Is Francis just letting him hang out to dry? If Francis won't let him do his job, he needs to resign. It's a shame.
Honestly I am wondering if the man is mentally ill. Could he really be this far out of his depth? Are the cardinals negligent for having chosen him, or is he suffering some sort of spiritual oppression? We have not seen anything this disturbing since maybe Julius III.
In any case, I expect this kind of thing—although a reporter who gets an extraordinary opportunity of an interview with a new Pope and neglects to record or take notes is even beyond what I was expecting. Lies, distortions, and the rest, yes. But this is pretty unbelievable.
In any case, I'm still suspending judgment on Pope Francis. For me, the main thing is to give him and his chosen group of Cardinals time to broom out the Vatican—which I hope he does! I was very impressed with Pope Benedict as a theologian. I read most of what he wrote, both before and after becoming Pope. But he seemed unable to broom out all those guys in the hierarchy who were undermining him at every opportunity.
Even things that have nothing to do with him are magically attributed to his malign influence. And when we hear about oh, people becoming interested in the Church again . . . people asking their Catholic friends questions, because theyve heard theres something interesting going on in Rome . . . people considering joining RCIA, or getting their marriages regularized, or going to confession in droves . . . well, there you have it. Proof that Francisogenic Papal Change is ruining the Church. Because they are not the right kind of people, you see. Their hearts arent having the right kind of conversion. Their experience of the love and mercy of Christ isnt authentic enough. How can you be so blind? THIS IS A CRISIS, PEOPLE.
This is a malign attack on those with very legitimate and serious concerns with the papacy of Francis.
That's what we need! A good press guy to hold Francis' hand and to bail him out of heresy trials when he starts tongue kissing Korans or singing "we are the world" like JPII!
He's like one of those pictures you have to stare blankly into in order to "see" the picture. He's a 3-D Pope. No wonder people look dumbfounded when they're around him. They are STARING into him, trying to SEE the picture.
Maybe he needs a teleprompter, too.
I've become a Pope Francis agnostic. I don't know if he is a great saintly pope, or a very bad pope. Only time will tell.
Until that time comes, for some of us peace of mind and personal sanity demand we ignore this Jesuit and all the spin on all sides.
Link? Link? Link?
So when Francis' teleprompter makes statements on faith and morals, will it be considered infallible?
Well, doesn't that open up a whole 'nother can of worms?
Let's hope --- no, let's PRAY --- he has learned from this experience.
It's the inimitable Simcha Fisher.
Here's the link: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/simchafisher/2013/10/05/lets-all-panic-over-franciscogenic-papal-change/
Admin, is here some way we can get this pasted into the top of the thread? :o)
time will tell
Teleprompters don't make statements, and I doubt Francis uses one, anyway.
Why are we surprised? Our lamestream media makes stuff up all the time, "fake but accurate" and all that.
Thank you, Admin!!
Have a pleasant, blessed Sunday.
I don't think the intention was to give an interview. His Holiness wanted to talk to that atheist, Scalfari, informally. A tape recorder would have destroyed the very atmosphere of informality that apparently both parties wanted.
This in in line with this Pope's personality in general: he doesn't want a wall around himself, and doesn't particularly care if people he reaches out to leave records.
So the author's outrage about Scalfari's journalistic practices is misplaced. We certainly have "wind blowing" and should expect more unscripted talk from His Holiness. Is that the proper outrage to have? So far I haven't seen anything in the papal chats that deviated from the Catholic faith.
Very interesting observation. Thank you!
I would add that our obligation, — by "our" I mean every Catholic other than the Pope, — becomes to point out the catholicity of His Holiness' remarks and correct the left-wing and other anti-Catholic distortions that inevitably will come. Wishing that the Pope had a different personality or different priorities can be fun, but like any fun it is not a productive use of our time.
Another good point.
More. Im just a teeny, two-bit, part-time internet guy on the very outer fringes of what could possibly be considered evangelizing the atheists, but even I would know enough to show up for a discussion about my faith without a tape recorder.
It's never occurred to me to bring a tape recorder to any discussion!
You are the material popes are made of.
No, I'm a girl.
Many great things were made of girls.
Sailors, for example ... but not Popes!
How hard is it to have a Vatican camcorder record the interview in its entirety and post it to youtube? Perhaps several versions, each with subtitles in the major languages? With this being a condition for ANY reporter being granted an interview?
Why can't the Pope bypass the whole hostile press establishment by posting video sermons on the Vatican website?
Language sure has deteriorated.

So with my timing belt, I had my fan belt, power steering belt and water pump replaced. It's been about two weeks since I've had the job done and I must say I am very happy with the service and job. Thanks Jagg and will make sure to use your garage again.
Had clutch problems and couldn't move my car. Jagg managed to pick my car up and fix my clutch very quickly. Excellent customer service too, he was very friendly.
All done properly + some extras. Truely recommend!
Jagg is really a good guy!Customer service is efficient and the quote was fair. Job was done nice and neat!Kindly provided one year guarantee for the job and parts. Timely made explanations to avoid my doubts over brake fluid leak when the mechanic pushed pistol back without prior opening the fluid capping. Kindly did test drive to make sure the new discs and pads worked well. We later drove on up and down hill roads having not felt the brake performance compromised with the new parts, although initially we had a little bit concern about the performance and reliability of the not so familiar Bremsen pads and Automative Excellence discs. Thanks Jagg!Will recommend to friends!
They were great :)
If it would be possible I would give zero star for this garage. Outrageous service, I am not sure if I can call that "service". The owner of this garage is extremely rude, phlegmatic and DISRESPECTFUL! And according to my opinion he is probably racist towards Eastern-European people! First, we discussed the time and the date when for a 1 and half hour work to fix my car. But when I arrived there at the first time (in the arranged time), they did not fix my car because they said I am late. I am just saying we were communicating via this website in chat form, so I have everything in written form. I can prove everything. I was not late. I thought I can give them a second chance (because of their really good price), so we discussed the time and date again via this website, and I went there again in the arranged time, but the same thing happened, but this time the owner of the garage was even yelling to me! Their price offer was so good (£120 cheaper from any other offer), thus I gave them a third chance. But this time I called them before I go there (since I did not want to waste my time and fuel again), they confirmed I can go immediately and they will fix my car (they said it will take 1 and a half hour), but when I arriced there they said I was late again. I arrived there at 10AM and they said I need to leave my car there until 2PM. I told them I work with my car, the only reason I came here on this day in this time because they confirmed I can come here now for 90 minutes work. I told them again, I work with my car, then I got the usual answer from the owner of the garage: "not my problem". Then I left them without any word. They wasted my time and fuel, 3 times and my car is still not fixed! The owner has zero customer service skills, zero flexibility towards customers (his answer to everything: "not my problem, is it?" or "not my business, is it?"). I would never recommend this garage to anyone. Seriously anyone who reads this: AVOID THIS GARAGE!
I don't usually use sites like these to get my car repaired, but i was desperate, so i ended up using this site. Out of all of quotes i got, these guy's came out by FAR the cheapest, at least £100 cheaper than everybody. I thought at first there was a catch, like one of the previous garage's i called on here, they quoted £220 for just the labour and not the parts. But NO these guy's quoted me on exactly how much it would cost ! Quick service, no messing around. They even fitted in some missing clips on my front bumper which was nice of them. And also to top that i asked them how much it would cost to replace my back light bulb and they did that for free too ! Great, quick, reliable service. Will definitely be seeing these guy's again if something (Touch wood nothing) goes wrong ! Daniel.
Paul was very helpful even to the point of picking up my car and returning it. They did a great job. In a good time. I'm just sorry my insurance company were slow on paying up their end. Hopefully now resolved. I will be sending my mums car to him soon. Happy to recommend them to others. AK N14
No I would not recommend this garage. We paid for the vehicle delivered to your garage on the 23/03/16 for a Cam Belt change, we also had the Clutch replaced and Water Pump whilst you had the vehicle, with the understanding that we needed the vehicle back in time for a contract job we was doing. We picked the vehicle up and paid £1050.00 in which we paid when the invoice should have been for £950.00 because we supplied the cam belt kit and drive belt. We paid again for the vehicle to be returned to your garage because the battery went flat and didn't start on the 30/03/16 and then we had to hire a splitter van to replace ours, for 3 days at a rate of £130.00per day. We paid to have the vehicle to be picked up after you telling me that it was the battery at fault, so we agreed to offset the over payment for a new battery. We used the vehicle on 02/04/16 and that evening the vehicle lost lighting it went dim first and then all the warning lights started to come on. We lost the vehicle hire £100.00 for that day of the 02/04/16, and had subcontract hire at a rate of £150.00 for the 03/04/16 for not having a vehicle to for fill our contract. We did not return the vehicle, because of no confidence. We had the vehicle tested, and we was told that the Alternator was faulty so I replaced it myself after taking a photo of the of its position then still getting the right reading from the new Alternator the vehicle was taken to an Auto Electric Technician in which we found that your garage had put the alternator belt on incorrect so it was turning the wrong direction, so we didn't need a battery or an alternator because the vehicle never had a starting or charging problem before it went to you plus the damage to be repaired at a cost £150.00 This is a breakdown of our invoice to you of our losses.
Fantastic service, CSS Motors collected my car the same day I accepted the quote and delivered it back that day with all work carried out. 10 out of 10. will defiantly use again
No one made phone call to confirm the work or any sort of contact
Excellent, efficient, friendly service

Strategic Positioning
Strategic Plan 2016-2021
Grand Valley State University educates students to shape their lives, their professions, and their societies. The university contributes to the enrichment of society through excellent teaching, active scholarship, and public service.
Environmental Scan Process for
the GVSU 2016-2021 Strategic Plan
Grand Valley State University's Strategic Plan 2016-2021 is grounded by a thorough, timely environmental scan undertaken in 2013 and 2014. During this process, the current and anticipated factors most likely to impact the University in the years ahead were identified, including demographic, economic and cultural trends affecting higher education; demographic, educational, economic and social data from West Michigan, statewide, the nation and world; information about the current and projected landscape of higher education in the U.S. and abroad; the technology trends most likely to affect the institution's pedagogical, administrative and management functions; and in-depth information about GVSU's current successes and challenges, including the voluminous data available from the institution's dashboard and its updates from the Strategic Plan 2010-2015.
This foundational environmental scan included some 12 Strategic Conversations – conducted as facilitated focus group sessions with all members of the University community, including students, faculty, administrators and staff; administration of online surveys to some approximately 180 individuals, posing similar questions in an electronic format that allowed for open-ended responses; key informant interviews and conversations with many of the influencers in the University community, including university board of trustees, university administrators, senior management team members, and academic leaders at GVSU and GVSU's peer institutions; content analyses of recent articles published in the higher education professional literature about anticipated needs, approaches to meet these needs and other anticipated changes in the field expected to occur in the decade ahead; and content analyses of the strategic plans of other Institutions of Higher Education in Michigan and those of our peer institutions.
A significant amount of information about the institution's environment was also available from the more than 25 accreditation and re-accreditation studies its schools and departments have successfully undertaken since 2010, as well as from the feedback provided by site visitors affiliated with these external accrediting bodies, including but not limited The Higher Learning Commission's North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Other data-gathering aligned with and incorporated into this ongoing strategic planning process was undertaken by the Development Division, which surveyed Grand Valley's donors using the same electronic survey instrument. In addition, a survey of GVSU alumni is planned using the same survey to secure additional feedback from that important source.
From the data garnered from this expansive environmental scan, GVSU's Strategic Positioning Committee derived information about GVSU's current internal strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, aspirations, and challenges. The process we have used and continue to use to understand these characteristics of the University is both organic and iterative, with a purposeful focus on ensuring the outcomes of the Strategic Plan 2016-2021 are both aspirational and achievable within the resources we are likely to have available in the period.
The Strategic Positioning Process for
The 2016 - 2021 Strategic Plan
March 2013 - August 2014
Grand Valley State University maintains its objective of being a high functioning, well-regarded, and decidedly productive institution of higher education. Its journey toward achieving excellence at all levels and becoming one of the nation's premier comprehensive universities is guided by a thorough strategic positioning process. A goal of this process is to develop a strategic plan that reflects and incorporates the institution's previous positioning documents while setting a course for the next five years that is bold, new, and optimistic.
The Strategic Plan 2016-2021 includes a vision of what Grand Valley aspires to be, as well as a statement of its mission, vision, and values that guide its institutional behavior and culture at every level. The intent is to develop a results-oriented plan, with a focus on increasing student success for the learning environment. As a result, the 2016-2021 strategic positioning process has been facilitated by the use of an inclusive method, which involved a broad representation across the university. The goal of utilizing this method was to include students, alumni, board members, staff and faculty, as well as the community, to ensure the voices of all stakeholders would be heard, and to create a highly transparent and shared vision for the university's future.
At Grand Valley, the strategic positioning process begins with the Board of Trustees (BOT), who gives voice to the mission and vision of the university. A key function of the BOT was to review and affirm the institution's mission statement, and its creation of a new vision statement and values statement – the foundational elements of the 2016-2021 Strategic Plan. The new statements underscore GVSU's full commitment to its students and their academic and lifelong success. The BOT remained involved as the outcomes, strategic priorities, and other elements of the plan evolved, under the guidance of an institution-wide Strategic Positioning Committee (SPC).
An important early step in the positioning process included the formation of the 25-member, institution-wide SPC to advise and guide the 24 month development process. Led by the Associate Vice President of Assessment, Accreditation, and Strategic Positioning, a primary goal for the SPC's process included soliciting feedback from students, alumni, staff, faculty, and the community on university-wide priorities through the end of the decade. This was accomplished in part by the decision to have the SPC host a series of "Strategic Positioning Conversations," to collect critical data that would inform the university's strategic visioning efforts. Twelve Strategic Positioning Conversations took place in the fall of 2013, and each session was co-facilitated by two SPC members with one Public Administration graduate student who functioned as an additional researcher. Invitations from university President Thomas Haas were e-mailed to all students and staff prior to the sessions. Additionally, Provost Gayle Davis contacted all faculty members via e-mail to participate in the strategic positioning sessions.
Before the sessions convened, participants were informed of several important emerging trends in higher education that will affect the delivery of post-secondary education for the class of 2021 and beyond. These trends included, increased competition for students due to more post-secondary pathways, increased financial pressures on students and colleges, and increased use of technology, to name a few. The committee wanted the participants to be aware of these trends before entering the Strategic Positioning Conversations in order to provide a framework to consider the strategic positioning questions that would facilitate the development of the 2016-2021 strategic goals.
Following the twelve sessions, data analysis was conducted by Public Administration graduate students. Thematic analysis was conducted within and across each question, considering the higher education trends identified by the SPC, as well as additional emerging themes raised by respondents. The strategic analysis concluded with recommendations for the SPC to consider as they entered the next stage of positioning.
The results of the Strategic Positioning Conversations provided numerous emerging themes that served as a basis for the development of an online community survey, which would be the next positioning stage. This survey would provide additional research data that would prove to be valuable to the strategic positioning process, and was sent via e-mail to various advisory boards, community partners, and other community stakeholders, including the GVSU Dean's Advisory Committee members, the Deans of all colleges within GVSU, GVSU Student Services, and the Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies. To obtain a broad representation, external community constituents were drawn from for-profit, non-profit and government, faith-based, and other community organizations who were invited to participate in the survey. Respondents represented organizations primarily in Kent and Ottawa counties with others distributed across the lower half of the state, and several with a statewide and/or national presence. Of those who were invited to participate, 60% did so, and contributed their ideas on GVSU's future via this opportunity. Nearly all participants had some form of direct dealing with the university, primarily through participation in advisory board meetings, working with students and faculty, offering internship placements, and by attending events sponsored by the university.
The Community Survey 2014 consisted of questions drawn from the Strategic Positioning Conversations findings, and the survey findings were consistent with the findings of the Conversations in terms of having common themes. Additionally, the survey provided a more elaborate representation of community stakeholder interests, as well as providing necessary data for the strategic positioning process. In collaboration with the Senior Management Team, the SPC utilized all institutional feedback to date in structuring seven core values statements and five new outcomes to serve as the future action framework for GVSU's strategic plan. Together with the Strategic Positioning Conversations, the Community Survey 2014 would prove to be a key research component necessary for an inclusive and highly transparent strategic positioning process the university has sought to attain.
In the fall of 2014, the SPC will continue working with the Senior Management Team to develop a comprehensive set of strategic priorities, objectives, and actionable strategies aligned with each of the five aforementioned outcomes. This stage of planning is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2014.
Beginning in early 2015, all colleges and divisions of GVSU will create 2016-2021 strategic plans. These plans will be fully aligned with the institution's new strategic framework of outcomes, strategic priorities, objectives, and actionable strategies. These plans will detail what strategies, activities, and tasks each part of the university will complete in this six-year period to ensure the institution as a whole achieves its five outcomes. This planning phase is slated to be completed by the spring of 2015. In April of 2015 the GVSU Strategic Plan will be ready for BOT approval.
Simultaneous with planning efforts throughout the institution, the SPC, Senior Management Team, and other stakeholders will work to fully coordinate institutional budgeting, accountability, and accreditation efforts with the new strategic plan, including creating improvements ready for rollout in January 2016, as GVSU launches its 2016-2021 Strategic Plan.
The fundamental objective of the strategic positioning process is to provide Grand Valley with a guide to achieving and sustaining academic excellence in an environment that exemplifies an unprecedented commitment to innovation, quality, and service that is the best among its peer institutions and competitors and is recognized as such. Additionally, the goal of the university's strategic positioning process now and always is to ensure that the university continues to accurately identify its strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results; appropriately sets challenging outcomes and priorities; and effectively acquires and allocates adequate resources to realize its vision and achieve its priorities, no matter what the future brings.
As a university actively engaged in becoming a stronger, more capable version of itself, Grand Valley is committed to strategically positioning for and attaining greatness, regardless of what lies ahead. Through this increasingly participatory and inclusive strategic positioning process, Grand Valley will be a university that is continuously on a journey to becoming its next better self as it moves toward 2021.
Thank you for visiting the site; we encourage your participation in shaping Grand Valley State University's future.

Second Language Studies
Most speakers worldwide speak more than one language. Second Language Studies investigates how people use, learn or lose another language, be it a second, third, heritage, or foreign language, or a pidgin or creole. Second Language Studies is the study of multilingualism in all of its diversity.
BA in SLS
The BA in Second Language Studies introduces students to a wide range of theoretical and practical perspectives, focusing on how second languages are learned, taught, and used in global and local societies, as well as on assessment and evaluation, intercultural communication, and professionalism in language-related workplaces. While the majority of SLS majors seek careers in teaching English or other second languages, many pursue opportunities in areas such as translation and interpretation, materials development, and bilingual education, or move on to graduate study.
Advanced Graduate Certificate in SLS
The AGC provides advanced training for language professionals and researchers who already hold graduate degrees in applied linguistics or related fields and for students who concurrently complete another graduate degree at the University of Hawai'i. The AGC is now also available with a specialization in Spanish Applied Linguistics.
The Department of Second Language Studies
The Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa is an internationally leading institution in its field. SLS faculty and students examine second language use and learning from educational, linguistic, psychological, sociological, and anthropological perspectives. Faculty expertise in a wide range of research approaches and practice domains offers students exceptional opportunities to pursue their career goals as language professionals and researchers worldwide.
MA in SLS
The MA in SLS program prepares students for careers as language professionals and for further study in PhD programs. It is the only MA program in SLS and related fields to offer five optional specializations:
• Critical Second Language Studies
• Language Assessment, Measurement, and Program Evaluation
• Language and Social Interaction
• Language Education
• Second Language Acquisition
PhD in SLS
The PhD in SLS program offers advanced training in Second Language Analysis, Second Language Learning, Second Language Use, Second Language Pedagogy, and Second Language Research Methodology. Graduates from the PhD in SLS program hold faculty positions at prestigious universities and are recognized as international leaders in applied linguistics and the study of multilingualism.

Did not need to order up a size
"I usually wear a 7 or a 7.5. I ordered a 7.5 after reading other reviews that said this shoe runs short. I would have been fine with the 7. The 7.5 is loose enough that my heel slips out when I walk. Other than that, the shoe is comfy, so I think will buy an insert to keep my foot from sliding forward. That should take care of it."

Grey Feels Great
"I have searched a high and low for grey heels. I knew that I could count on DSW on-line. I did visit the store, but could not find any grey shoes that I liked. So I decided to check out the on-line selection. I typed in grey shoes in the search bar and, boom, Life-Stride Klarissa Pumps popped up. I thought and searched and thought and searched and finally hit the purchase button. I thought the only thing I could do is return them if they don't work. As I opened up the box, I felt a great big smile on my face and I immediately tried them on. I loved them. So what do you think happened next, I had to find something to wear with them the next day to work and I got a lot of nice comments on my shoes. I would definitely order these in other colors."

AUA Efforts Improve Medicare Prescription Drug Policies for Urology Patients
Beneficiaries with Medicare prescription drug plans (sometimes called "PDPs") have experienced significant delays in obtaining prescriptions for serious urologic conditions, including urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections. Specifically, AUA members report that beneficiaries for whom they have prescribed certain medications for these conditions have faced delays in filling those prescriptions because their drug plan requires prior authorization. The plans' rationale for requiring prior authorization is often based on conflicting agendas.
Coding Corner:
FDA Issues New Alerts on Supplements
On May 21, Dr. Mark T. Edney, a urologist, veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the AUA's lead advocate on urotrauma, provided oral and written testimony on behalf of the AUA to the U.S. House of Representatives Veterans Affairs' Subcommittee on Health during a hearing on a number of veterans' health bills, including H.R. 984 – legislation to establish a task force on urotrauma to focus attention on the treatment of these injuries for our soldiers. Dr. Edney's testimony was warmly received by the subcommittee and no organization in attendance provided a dissenting voice.
The bill establishes an interagency task force, led by the U.S. Department of Defense, to investigate and advise on the research and action needed to advance this increasingly essential field. The AUA has worked tirelessly on the urotrauma issue since it was first addressed in the 111th Congress. In 2012, the AUA led the formation of an Urotrauma Policy Roundtable, comprised of veterans and patient advocacy groups to support the legislation. Many of those organizations lent their support to H.R. 984 during the hearing through either written or oral testimony.
"The nature of the sacrifice that the service men and women who have experienced urogenital injuries have made is beyond measure," Alethea Predeoux, associate director, health legislation, Paralyzed Veterans of America said in her written statement. "It is incumbent upon Congress and the Administration to take every step necessary to help make these men and women as whole as possible. This task force is a necessary first step."
Almost 210 people attended the 10th Annual AUA Urology Practice Management Conference at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in San Diego on May 3-4, 2013. Attendance included about 30 percent urologists, 60 percent urology practice administrators along with vendors, consultants, and others. Practice managers who attended this event expressed much satisfaction at the timely nature of the educational content and the quality of all the speakers at the conference.
The AUA Practice Management Committee is pleased to announce the recipient of the first annual PMN Innovations Award to Angela Jordan, CMPE, administrator for Bend Urology Associates, LLC in Bend, Oregon. The Innovation Award honors a PMN subscriber and his/her practice that achieves measurable improvements in efficiency of operations, cost reductions, practice revenue, staff morale, staff competency or patient service. Ms. Jordan submitted a summary of the Bend Urology Access Clinic. The Access Clinic was created to manage a large number of patients who walked in with urine specimens and concerns about urinary tract infections.

: Steve,
: You will note that the mechanism is held in at the top with ears.
: Replacement should be fairly easy with this inner mechanism out.
: : Mr. Love,
: : I have just purchased a Caroma toilet. No problems so far.
: : But what about the future? How does one repair the flushing mechanism? I would expect that the closing mechanism would eventually leak. I can replace a flapper on a conventional toilet, but don't see how the rubber valve on the Caroma can be replaced without removing the tank and unscrewing the flush gearing from the tank. Do you have instructions for doing this repair?

|In response to Re: pump refill rate and larger holding tank
I was surprised to see that you are still trying to fix your well problem. Since I last spoke to you we have sold innumerable Well Managers all across the United States. We are currently designing one for the US Forestry Service. These people have all solved there problems in a single day. One gentleman in the Rockies ( a retired Geologist) replaced his 3,000 gallon cistern with a 425 gallon Well Manager. He used to run out of water but doesn't any longer. He used to have poor pressure and has great pressure now.
Your problem is simple. The water is so far down the well and requires so much energy to raise it AND BUILD PRESSURE that it delivers water very slowly. It is taking longer to shut off now because you increased the cut off point from 40 to 50 PSI. Pressure switches are adjustable. If you set it back to 20/40 or lower you will get more water immediately.
That is one of the reasons a Well Manager can get more water from your well. A Well Manager collects in an unpressurised tank, thus relieving the backpressure on the well pump making it easier to deliver water. You get great performance from a Well Manager because a second pump produces the pressure.
There are many more Well Manager models now. If your finances have improved perhaps you would like to discuss the matter.

Steve Ballmer's efforts to bring an NBA team to Seattle are getting a second act.
The Microsoft CEO, a well-known basketball junkie, let down local basketball fans in 2008 when he couldn't finalize a deal to buy the Seattle SuperSonics as the team was sold to out-of-towners with the intention of moving it.
Ballmer was viewed as a last-minute white knight to wrestle the team away from Oklahoma businessman Clayton Bennett and keep it in Seattle. After all, Ballmer is one of the richest people in the world; he was a regular courtside presence at Seattle's KeyArena, where the Sonics played; and, according to The New York Times, Ballmer helped coach his son's basketball team. Ballmer also played early-morning pickup games.
"The only surprise then was that Ballmer didn't buy the team," says Paul Merrill, editor of the blog Supersonicsoul.com. "Because he was such a supporter of the Sonics and a billionaire, everyone believed he was going to step up."
Seattle fans' collective hope of bringing back NBA basketball took a step closer to becoming a reality Monday when a local investor group — including hedge fund manager Chris Hansen, Ballmer and the Nordstrom family — struck a deal to buy a 65% stake in the Sacramento Kings for about $341 million, according to USA TODAY Sports. The group is expected to file for relocation to Seattle before the league's March 1 deadline, and the Board of Governors would consider their bid at a mid-April meeting.
Of course, a sports deal of this magnitude nearly always requires the patronage of wealthy tycoons, often those with strong local ties, and the Hansen-Ballmer group is no exception. But in Seattle, the city's economic backbone — technology — and the professional sport that once got away also have enduring ties that are once again proving useful for local fans.
Starbucks founder and CEO Howard Schultz was the most public face of the Sonics ownership while it was playing in Seattle. But John Stanton, a wireless technology pioneer who founded and sold VoiceStream to Deutsche Telekom for $35 billion in 2001, owned a stake in the team. Former Microsoft CFO Greg Maffei also had a share.
According to The Seattle Times, the Sonics' ownership group also included partners at two of Seattle's biggest law firms and the local inventors of the popular board games Pictionary and Cranium.
Paul Allen, a Microsoft co-founder who owns the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, is currently the wealthiest owner in the NBA, with a net worth of $15 billion, according to Forbes.
Hansen grew up in Seattle but his hedge fund, Valiant Capital Management, invests heavily in technology stocks.
"There's a link between technology and Seattle," says Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based SportsCorp. "That's no surprise. Other than San Jose, few other cities have (a technology-based) economy like Seattle."
A group of investors from Seattle has reached a deal to buy the NBA's Sacramento Kings. The group hopes to move the team to Seattle, to replace the SuperSonics, who left five years ago. (Jan. 22) AP
The NBA's richest owner
If the deal is completed, Ballmer would be the richest owner in the NBA, with a net worth of $15.9 billion, according to Forbes. That makes him the 19th-richest person in the U.S., one spot ahead of Allen.
After the Sonics moved, Ballmer kept private his interest in owning an NBA team. In 2011 he delivered a speech at the Seattle Rotary Club and spoke about "the real-estate challenges" to bringing the team to Seattle, according to a report by The Seattle Times.
Ballmer told the crowd that KeyArena, where the Sonics played, is outdated and lacks the luxury box spaces needed to draw revenue needed to be competitive, the report said.
Building a competitive arena would require $300 million to $500 million. "I'm sure we'll someday wind up with that problem solved and with a basketball team back here in Seattle," he said. "If you want to get on that problem, I'll offer to buy the first season ticket."
Ganis speculates Ballmer was driven by a desire to serve his community, knowing NBA ownership is a risky venture. "This is geographically desirable," he says. "He didn't go after the Memphis Grizzlies. Talking to (Paul) Allen, he perhaps realizes it's a lifestyle decision and not an economic one."
Hansen, the public face of the deal, also "talks the talk" of a true Sonics fan although he was hardly known in the city prior to the deal's development, Merrill says.
"I don't think anyone knew who he was in town," Merrill says. "He's a real mystery, and he remains a mystery man. But he talks the language of the fan who grew up around the glory days of the Sonics in the '90s."
The publicity-shy Hansen founded Valiant in 2008 and holds about $2.5 billion in assets as of last September, according to AR, a magazine covering the hedge-fund industry.
As of the end of September, Valiant held about $951 million in publicly traded stocks, many of them technology stocks. Its largest holding was $145.9 million in Apple stock.

Skip to comments.Why Would He Lie?
Posted on 11/16/2012 1:59:57 PM PST by greenishness
Somebody has tried to downplay the terror attack in Libya.
If that person is The President then I ask why?
If The President lied, Why would he lie?
Why did he lie?
The election.
That's why.
Counterpoint: Why would he ever tell the truth...it is counter to Democrat credo.
Because it's the answer to EVERYTHING!
It was before the election. He didn't want anyone to know that he kisses the a$$e$ of the bearded ones and that he loves them so much that he was willing to sell out his country for them.
it was another case of workplace violence.
It all goes back to the Blind Sheikh.
You ain't gonna read about this in the Lame Stream media. But once you know the fundamentals of Obama's plan to crony up to his buddies in the muzzie brotherhood and stage a catch and release deal for Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, then all the other pieces of the Benghazi scandal will follow that.
Just like Clinton. Because he can.
1. He doesn't want to acknowledge terrorism on his watch.
2. Another time to sympathize with Islam and deride any ridicule of it.
3, He is a weasel.
I Can't Help Myself
by The Four Tops
from Old School Soundtrack
(Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)
Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times
When you snap your fingers
Or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to you, baby
And there's nothing I can do
Ooh, sugar
Sugarpie honeybunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But everytime I see your face
I get up all choked up inside
When I call your name, girl
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide
Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Sugarpie honeybunch
I'll do anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
say "by any means necessary" then go from there.
I am at a loss for a time, appearance or speech where he has ever done anything else?
Obama lied because he is a liar and that is why liars go to Hell.
It's Sociopathic.
Iran hostage crisis:
The crisis has also been described as the "pivotal episode" in the history of IranUnited States relations.[6] In the United States, some political analysts[who?] believe the crisis was a major reason for U.S. President Jimmy Carter's defeat in the November 1980 presidential election.
Al Queda is alive. Twinkie the Kid is dead.
Can you imagine what would happen in this country if The President was impeached? There was talk about rioting if he lost the election, if he was impeached it would make those potential riots look like Disney World.
"The future does not belong to those who slander the Prophet Mohammed" — President Barack Obama at U.N.
Uh...because he didn't want us to know the truth about what happened there.
Walking Al Quida in Benghazi
If ya lie, ya can turn any crisis to your advantage, and then a crisis never goes to waste.
Obamalinsky's plan was a pre-election trade - Stevens for the Blind Sheikh - but those darn hero Seals chose to defend Stevens.
Or, it could have been Stevens for the 2 terrorists that were caught and being held in the Annex.
But I'm going with the Blind Sheikh - Obamalinsky wanted to free him somehow.
Obamalinksy should be strung-up for being a traitor!!!!!
I agree 100 % , Benghazi was supposed to be a kidnapping —but it didn't work out that way...so the won denied knowing anything about it......If it had gone his way he would have looked like a hero...more than just in his on eyes...
Well I guess we should follow the example of our fearless leader and say "NO" the next time someone asks us to swear on the bible and tell the truth.
We are not ever going to impeach the first black president.
Lying seems to come naturally with this bird, no offense to birds meant.
I believe from the vast collection of articles in the confusion of the aftermath of the Libyan event, which is still the rule today that there was some illicit operation going on that has to be covered up by the WH, or the event will trigger knowledge of abuse of power by the WH, and the political party he represents.
We won't know the answer for some time yet as those that can answer are obviously threatened, and evading answering questions, as well others are working to sabotage investigations that could, would expose their leader, and their Political Party to difficulties.
The whole Obama presence is a manipulated theater.
It indicates his cowardly position to not defend Americans. It gave him a chance to lie and set up a straw man to make his fellow islamic leaders think he was down with the cause (The future does not belong to those who insult islam.) I get a little throw up in my mouth when I think of his UN performance and how Clinton lied to the father of the dead seal.
Because he botched the response.
A good President would've received word on the attack, ascertained that it was a coordinated terrorist attack, as the CIA knew ... and sent in the nearby Delta team to secure the facility and rescue the ambassador. My understanding is that, with quick action, this could've been done within a matter of hours — long before the Ambassador and SEALs were killed.
But, he didn't. He waited around. He went to a fundraiser. He blamed it on a movie. And, people died. He lied because their blood is on his hands ... and he was up for reelection. He underestimated the threat, and catastrophically fumbled his role as CIC, and good men died because of it.
Because bullchit is all he got that's shovel ready.
"It is true that John McCain has not psoken of my Muslim faith." -Obama.
"I will stand with the Muslims if the political winds shift in an ugly direction." -Obama.
That's why.
But releasing the blind Shake would have made 0zero look weak, I don't see how that would have helped him in the election.
I agree with you 110%, anyone and everyone can say it is a kook conspiracy theory, I really don't care it is the only thing that makes ANY sense. The only reason this commy admin would have not only not grant repeated pleas for more security, but decrease what was already there. He got together with other to put forth a talking point that would ELIMINATE ANY CULPABILITY. IMO that is ALL there is to it, that is why they all lied!!!
Because they are selling weapons to the Syrian rebels, which have fallen into the hands of Al Queda. They are lying to cover up what's going on over there.
Why indeed? Seems the obvious answer is that he wanted to maintain the fiction of a peaceful Arab Spring and "his" elimination of AlQueda until the election. Any objective citizen can see that.
The process? I've been hearing the story of a hostage swap everywhere, and it may not fly. How's this sound: he was allowing the ambassador to get taken hostage only to get tough and demand his release just before the election. A couple "rogue" cia/military guys refused to stand down and killed 40 muzzies, enraging the crowd... while Stevens hid in a safe room. The operation went FUBAR and Obama insisted on pushing the Youtube story against ALL logic.
And now the massive cover up. The sin may have been forgivable, but NOT a cover up of this size, Ask Nixon.
Because Valerie Jarrett ordered him to?
His base is easily fooled. He needed a certain segment of undecideds and independents to recapture glory. His lies helped him.
Because he stands to gain.
Th 54% who approve of him as of this past week would not see that as weak. They would see it as compassionate because that is how they are inculcated.
He is POTUS. He won. None of his supporters care beyond that.
The same reason a dog........because he can.
There were two reasons to lie. The first is that the Obama regime and Hillary were right in the middle of defending the Muslim Brotherhood, and the regimes romance with Arab Spring. Remember al-Qaeda was supposed to be dead with Osama, and Obama was bragging about being responsible for the deed. All that nonsense from the regime blew up at Benghazi. The other reason was that using the video as an excuse for the terrorism helped the regime lay some of the blame on conservatives and people who don't buy into the Islam is peace lie. The terrorism became the fault of the people who are critical of this regime's foreign policy.
Why would he lie? Why did he lie?That's what congenital liars and communists do. Haters hate. Destroyers destroy. Creators create. Builders build. Congenital liars and communists tell lies even when telling the truth would be to their advantage.
It's impossible to plan an attack against a particular person on a particular day at a particular location unless you have a guarantee that person will be at that location on that particular day.
The only people that could guarantee Stevens would be there on that particular day is Hillary and Obama.
That's why they had to create the spontaneous myth. Planning that far in advance means the WH has to be in the loop.
When the spontaneous lie fell through the only alternative was to make it appear as if there was NO connection with the protest in Egypt and the attack.
By continuing to lie and claim it was a spontaneous attack, everyone else continued making the claim there was no connection.
Even if the terrorist had learned of the planned protest in Egypt a week in advance then planned the attack, someone would have had to leak to the terrorist that Stevens would be at that location on that day. In that case fingers would be pointing to leaks coming from Hilly's office.
Spontaneous attack or no connection are their only two options to not be in the loop.
It may not have come down to trading the Blind Sheikh for our Benghazi hostages. I beleive Obama would have reneged on the deal if he could have.
Trouble is.. No one could or did curtail the street thugs and they went too far and killed the hostages.
If only them damn pesky Marines would have obeyed the order to "Stand Down", them maybe Obama's plot would have worked.
I dunno. He doesn't know how to do anything else?
For me, there is an even greater question.
Why did Obama let those four 'white' Americans die.
The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not simply been engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East. Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat J. Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the opposition in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

Great taste. I`m going to order this again!
Not much flavour
Posted by Reviewer2646404 on Feb 14, 2013
These would be excellent if they put enough cheddar on them to taste. The flavour is very faint. Their BBQ flavour is better. I was hoping they would have enough flavour to satisfy my craving for Cheezies or similar corn products.

Had to throw it away it tasted so bad. I'd rather eat grandads old socks!

Green Farmer Supports CSP
By Paige Buck, Illinois NRCS
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Illinois is working to get the word out on the new Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) and encourage signup by landowners who may have heard about the program but are still "on the fence."
CSP is a voluntary conservation program that encourages producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking additional conservation activities and improving, maintaining, and managing existing conservation activities.
Kevin Green, conservation farmer and partner of both NRCS and the local Soil and Water Conservation District, is a strong supporter of CSP and helped spread the word about the program by hosting a "CSP Field Day" on his farm in Vermilion County, Illinois. He values CSP because it rewards him for the conservation work he's already done on his farm and it helps him do even more.
Devin Brown of the Illinois Stewardship Alliance (ISA) helped organize the event. ISA is a strong NRCS partner in Illinois that supports conservation and conservation programs.
The group observed some of Kevin's easy-to-implement conservation practices and asked Kevin and local NRCS District Conservationists many questions.
As a result, NRCS expects to receive a few more CSP enrollment applications from the local field office. Kudos to Mr. Green and Mr. Brown for a great CSP field day!
Kevin Green (center, pointing) points out one of the many conservation practices on his Vermilion County Illinois farm, which is currently enrolled in NRCS' Conservation Stewardship Program.
