It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hello, I would like to thank you for taking the time to check us out. We are located on the Yak's Bend server. Tempest is an active gaming community for people over 20 years of age, that prides itself on its organized structure. We're a casual gaming community who will never give you a problem about placing your partner, kids, or other real life responsibilities above your game time. Thus our membership ranges from college students, career professionals, and even a few retirees. The Tempest Gaming Community was established in 2011 with the launch of RIFT and continue to build and branch into other MMOs since then. We've known each other for a very long time and enjoy playing together in many games.
Tempest is a PvX guild that was formed in head start so if you're looking to farm Meta events, dungeon progression, guild missions and TPvP we do it all. We have about 25 members log in and play everyday, with peak hours ranging from 3pm to 1am EST. During our peak hours we usually average 15-20 members online. We have weekly Guild Events to help members with scheduling group activities, which aren't mandatory.
We are looking for mature players that enjoy being part of an active community, be it in-game and on our forums. We don't care if you're the best in the game or the worst in the game, or what your previous raid progression was. We are more interested in who the person behind the screen is and what they want to achieve while being a part of our community. Experience, skill, and playtime are not factors while recruiting for Tempest. We look for people with families, hobbies, jobs, and other Real Life commitments.
Bottom line: We recruit people and not the characters they play.
Tempest offers you:
- An established multi-game community with Active guilds in GW2, RIFT and FF:ARR
- A mature and drama free atmosphere where you can enjoy your game time with friends
- Adult members and an experienced leadership team that will make you feel comfortable and welcome
- A user friendly website, active forums, Teamspeak3, and a podcast to keep you up to date with gaming news and guild activities
- Guild Awards for achievements accomplished in game and a Player of the Month program with rewards for very active and contributing members.
- A fully upgraded guild structure with Bounties, Treks, Rush, Challenges and Puzzles. Along with rolling 10% Magic Find, 15% Karma, etc.
- A Custom Arena for training grounds for members that want to get into TPvP, duels, build tests, etc.
- Weekly guild activities: Tuesday/Thursday are scheduled PvE nights, Fridays are Guild Missions (Bounties, Treks, Rush, Challenges and Puzzles) night. Usually every night you can find a group in TPvP. All scheduled guild events start around 9 or 9:30pm EST.

Hardwood Flooring vs. Laminate
Ahhh…..wood floors! They're beautiful. They feel good on your feet. You can dance on them. They're easy to clean. There are so many wonderful things about wood floors. That's why they are so darned popular in both homes and offices alike. When installing a wood floor in your home or office, there is a growing debate about which flooring is better: Hardwood or Laminate? Hardwood floors can add real value to a home because it is a naturally beautiful, non-allergenic product. Hardwood flooring can come as pre-finished or unfinished solid wood cut from a tree, or as pre-finished and some unfinished engineered wood that is …

Every year, the beginning of summer heralds "Gay Pride Day" – a day of parades and festivals that occurs throughout our nation and provides the gay community and its straight allies the opportunity to celebrate the diversity, contributions, and solid presence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in our community. With the November elections in sight, politicians and political action groups have also seized the opportunity to debate which legal rights the LGBT community should be entitled to, whether or not gays deserve equal protection under the law, and even the basic question of whether or not it's morally acceptable to be a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person.
The mental health community has also hotly debated how to regard sexual orientation over the last four decades. Prior to 1970, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder – an aberration to the heterosexual norm and classified as one of several "sociopathic personality" disorders requiring treatment. This outdated view has been replaced by modern research that clarifies sexual orientation existing along a continuum in a class bell-shaped curve. We are now at a point in time to recognize that homosexuality is not a problem – but rather a normal variation for up to 10% of the population and occurring throughout the history of humankind, in all cultures and on all continents. In fact, over the last two decades, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, and the World Health Association have all come out with solid statements that affirm and support sexual orientation as a basic biological variance.
Furthermore, these organizations have denounced so-called "reparative therapy" (therapy that purports to change one's sexual orientation), citing research and studies that conclusively show that these "treatments" are not only ineffective, but are also incredibly damaging and harmful – even life-threatening – to its participants. Just a week ago, Dr. Robert L. Spitzer, one of the eminent fathers of modern psychiatry, came forward with statement. "I owe the gay community an apology," he announced as he publically recanted his highly flawed 2003 study that suggested sexual orientation could be changed by those who were highly motivated to make that change.
So, whilst Pride Day is a day of celebration and merriment for many, for persons who are struggling to come to terms with their sexual orientation, this day may be fraught with emotional angst and fears – of being "outed", of rejection by family and friends, of both overt and covert discrimination or hate crimes – and feelings of depression, isolation, anxiety, insecurity, self-loathing and self-doubt. For family members who have recently discovered that a loved one is gay, there are frequently feelings of confusion, anger, grief, fear and shame. For transgender individuals, the struggle is even more intense, with misunderstanding and mistreatment generally coming from all directions.
As a therapist in a group counseling and psychiatric practice, my colleagues and I regularly provide counseling to men, women, adolescents and children looking for help in resolving the issues and challenges of understanding and accepting their, or their family members', sexual orientation and/or gender identity. As a result of the overt and covert discrimination the gay community faces – from hate crimes to employment inequalities to intolerance from their families/friends – coming to terms with one's sexual orientation can feel like a minefield. It is no wonder that LGBT adolescents have an up to eight times higher incidence of suicide attempts, as well as increased rates of homelessness, drug abuse and depression. Likewise, LGBT adults are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, substance abuse, as well as untreated medical needs.
Because of internalized homophobia and our heterocentric culture, many LGBT persons have chosen to hide their sexual orientation and live as if straight, often marrying and creating a family. Sadly, when these persons realize the painful reality of the situation, it can be devastating for all involved.
Working with a knowledgeable, supportive therapist can be helpful to debunk myths and misunderstandings about what being LGBT means as well as to move toward acceptance and emotional resolution. For instance, often the early years of ones' "coming out" process necessitate a more active role in identifying with one's sexual orientation – this is a normal, healthy part of self-acceptance and developing comfort with oneself and should be encouraged. As self-acceptance grows, generally, LGBT individuals are able to regard their orientation as simply one small aspect of their life, to build a supportive network of friends and family, and to recognize homophobia as prejudice.

The single man and cancer
Getting through cancer treatment can be really tough for a man who's not in a long-term relationship. You may not have a friend or family member who can be there for you like a partner could be. You may also worry how a current or future partner will react when they learn you've had cancer. Many men feel nervous or anxious about dating after going through cancer treatments and having to use medicines to help with erections. This anxiety can cause them to avoid dating. This avoidance then leads to more anxiety, and this becomes a vicious cycle that leads to more avoidance. Many single men who start to date after cancer treatment have found their romantic partners to be very understanding about their cancer and sexual situation. These single men who started to date have been successful, and many have started lasting romantic relationships.
Some of the scars left by cancer are public. These include the lost hair during chemo, a lost limb, or disfigured face. Others can't be seen by a casual onlooker. For example, there's no way to know that a man walking down the street has a colostomy or only one testicle. These private scars can be just as painful, though, since the few people who do see them are often the ones whose acceptance matters most.
Perhaps the most private scar left by cancer is the damage done to how you see yourself. You may wonder about how active you can be and even how long you will live. If you had hoped to marry or remarry, you may not want to involve a partner in an uncertain future. Homosexual men who are not in committed relationships have the same worries.
Concerns about having children can also affect your new relationships. You might be sterile because of cancer treatment. Maybe you can still have children but are afraid that cancer will not give you time to see your child grow up. Maybe you are worried about your children's future.
When dating, people who have had cancer often avoid talking about their illness. At a time when closeness is so important, it can seem risky to draw a potential lover's attention to your problems. During treatment, you may want to be brave and not complain. And after the cancer has been controlled, you might want to forget that it ever happened.
Sometimes you can ignore the cancer. But when a relationship becomes serious, silence is not the best plan. Before you and your partner decide to make a strong commitment, you should talk about cancer. This is especially true if the length of your life or your fertility has been affected. Otherwise, cancer may become a secret that's hard to keep and will limit your ability to confide in your partner. A loving partner needs to accept you as you are.
When to talk about your cancer
It's always a delicate choice when deciding to tell a new or prospective lover about your cancer. Ideally, a couple should discuss cancer when a relationship begins to get serious.
How to bring it up
Try having "the cancer talk" when you and your partner are relaxed and in an intimate mood. Ask your partner a question that leaves room for many answers. The question gives them a chance to consider the new information and respond. It also helps you see how your partner takes this news.
One way is just to mention it, followed with your question. "I really like where our relationship is going, and I need you to know that I had _____ cancer many years ago. How do you think that might affect our relationship?"
You can also reveal your own feelings: "I had ________ cancer ___ years ago. I guess I don't want to bring it up because I'm afraid you'd rather be with someone who hasn't had it. It also scares me to remember that time in my life, but I need you to know about it. What are your thoughts or feelings about my having had cancer?"
You can even rehearse how to tell someone you're dating about your experience with cancer. What message do you want to give? Try some different ways of saying it, and ask a friend for feedback. Did you come across the way you wanted to? Ask your friend to take the role of a new partner who rejects you because you have had cancer. Have your friend tell you what you dread hearing the most, and practice your response. Can you express your feelings in a dignified and satisfying way?
If you have an ostomy, genital scars, or a sexual problem, you may be concerned about when to tell a new dating partner. There are no hard-and-fast rules. It's often better to wait until you feel a sense of trust and friendship with your partner – a feeling that you are liked as a total person – before sharing such personal information.
The possibility of rejection
The reality is that some potential lovers may reject you because of your cancer or cancer treatment. Of course, almost everyone gets rejected at some time. Even without cancer, people reject each other because of looks, beliefs, personality, or their own issues. But the sad truth is that some single people who have cancer or have had it in the past limit themselves by not even trying to date. Instead of focusing on their good points, they convince themselves that no partner would accept them because of the cancer and the effects of treatment. You can avoid being rejected by staying at home, but you also miss the chance to build a happy, healthy relationship.
Here are some ways to help you make decisions about talking about your cancer:
- Tell a potential partner about genital scars, an ostomy, or sexual problems when you feel that the person already accepts you and likes you for who you are.
- Discuss your cancer in depth when a new relationship starts to deepen, especially if you have life expectancy or fertility issues.
- Prepare for the possibility of rejection: imagine the worst possible reaction of a new potential partner, and how you would respond. But don't let fear of that reaction keep you from going after a relationship that might work.
When you feel some confidence in your self-worth and your ability to handle rejection, you are ready for the real world. Then, when you start to meet people or to date, think of it as part of a learning process rather than something you must do well on your first try.
Improving your social life
Try working on areas of your social life, too. Single people can avoid feeling alone by building a network of close friends, casual friends, and family. Make the effort to call friends, plan visits, and share activities. Get involved in a hobby, special interest group, or classes that will increase your social circle.
Some volunteer and support groups are geared for people who have faced cancer. You may also want to try some one-on-one or group counseling with a mental health counselor. You can form a more positive view of yourself when you get objective feedback about your strengths from others. Make a list of your good points. What do you like about your looks? What are your talents and skills? What can you give to your partner in a relationship? What makes you a good sex partner? Whenever you catch yourself using cancer as an excuse not to meet new people or date, remind yourself of your assets.
If you feel shy about meeting new people, practice how to handle it. Talk to yourself in the mirror, or ask a close friend or family member to play the part with you.

Gracie Gold juggles! nice!
Gracie Gold juggles! nice!
Gosh. I love Christina this year. That girl has truly become a lady skater. Argh. I'd like to think she'd have been second if not for that darned spin fall.
I just love Ashley's short this year. Such a gorgeous way to showcase what's lovely about her skater. Every time I watch her this season I become more a believer.
The time has come
Yay it's coming back live!
Here we go. Time to get the chocolate I was saving.
this is what happens, though, when you have commentators only follow Skate America before they do nationals - they really have no idea other than what the info gatherers tell them.

As discussed in a previous part of Lesson 4, the shape of a velocity vs. time graph reveals pertinent information about an object's acceleration. For example, if the acceleration is zero, then the velocity-time graph is a horizontal line - having a slope of zero. If the acceleration is positive, then the line is an upward sloping line - having a positive slope. If the acceleration is negative, then the velocity-time graph is a downward sloping line - having a negative slope. If the acceleration is great, then the line slopes up steeply - having a large slope. The shape of the line on the graph (horizontal, sloped, steeply sloped, mildly sloped, etc.) is descriptive of the object's motion. This principle can be extended to any motion conceivable. In this part of the lesson, we will examine how the principle applies to a variety of types of motion. In each diagram below, a short verbal description of a motion is given (e.g., "constant, rightward velocity") and an accompanying motion diagram is shown. Finally, the corresponding velocity-time graph is sketched and an explanation is given. Near the end of this page, a few practice problems are given.
Describe the motion depicted by the following velocity-time graphs. In your descriptions, make reference to the direction of motion (+ or - direction), the velocity and acceleration and any changes in speed (speeding up or slowing down) during the various time intervals (e.g., intervals A, B, and C). When finished, use the button to view the answers.
The object moves in the + direction at a constant speed - zero acceleration (interval A). The object then continues in the + direction while slowing down with a negative acceleration (interval B). Finally, the object moves at a constant speed in the + direction, slower than before (interval C).
The object moves in the + direction while slowing down; this involves a negative acceleration (interval A). It then remains at rest (interval B). The object then moves in the - direction while speeding up; this also involves a negative acceleration (interval C).
The object moves in the + direction with a constant velocity and zero acceleration (interval A). The object then slows down while moving in the + direction (i.e., it has a negative acceleration) until it finally reaches a 0 velocity (stops) (interval B). Then the object moves in the - direction while speeding up; this corresponds to a - acceleration (interval C).

Compare great Alfa Romeo Oxygen Sensor prices in Barking with Who Can Fix My Car.
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
a great friendly service, saved me over £800 on a main dealer quote by inspecting what needed to be replaced rather than fitting a new DMF along with the clutch kit as per the main dealer. contacted me about worn brakes also and quoted a very reasonable price. All the work was done to a high standard and on time ..
Fantastic ! Adam was fast efficient and very friendly used a very good brand replacement part Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for helping me get back on the road the work. Car is working perfectly, now. Thank you.
Better service than any other garage I have ever been to. Don't think you will get a better mechanic in London. Talked through all the problems and diagnosed the car fully. Very happy with the whole job and would use again.
Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for the work. Car is working perfectly, now.
Most definitely - real decent mechanic - highly recommended!!!
Highly recommend Adam, knows what hes talking about. He keeps you up to date with progress and everything. Definitely will come back to him in future
A brilliant service from Jagg. The car was ready on the same day, the works carried out were as expected and was offered a fantastic price. Will definitely be using Jagg again in the future!
Started off with a timing belt change. However, when got there Jagg explained to me other parts that may require attention and how it would be useful replacing those parts as well due to the labour work. 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!
Good work will go back
Thank you to who can fix my car.com to put me through to the right garage to do a good job. Ardian was very helpful and my car problem was sorted in a very good price. Well done job by Ardian from Ardi Motors. Finally a big Thank you to who can fix my car.com Zafar Syed Leyton East London
Lovely service and friendly staff, honest and genuine with diagnosing problems with the car. Will be using Ardi again.
I take my cars to them few days ago. Problem solved. If i have any problem in the future, i will visit them. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Highly recommended! Many thanks!
Very nice person. He not only done the job but also told me different ways to keep my car in good condition. Thanks again,
Very good. Nice guy, would use again
Cant fault Anthony for his dedication to getting the job done. Would highly recommend.
Excellent service
Excellent service
Antony was very friendly and incredibly accommodating of my request for an urgent fix. When he first came to replace the light, he realised I had the wrong version of the tail lamp and proceeded to help me find the right one. He returned within a week, to fit the correct lamp and it was all done within an hour. He was incredibly efficient and very unobtrusive. He was the most price competitive of the lot, and I would not hesitate to contact him again for any car issues in the future. Thanks, Antony! Good luck!
Highly recommended garage. Very honest and professional with excellent customer service. Work was carried out to high standard, no unnecessary work done. Also carried out a health check on the car which most garages don't do. Have re-booked this garage to get more work done and would definitely be coming back in the future.
Highly recommended professional and friendly service. Parts were fitted in accordance with agreed competitive price. Would definitely use again.
Excellent Service.. Parts were fitted as described and the price agreed was a very good one. Would recommend this garage to everyone A+
Professional work, good price, excellent service would use again.thank you
Arrived on time. once fully repaired showed all replaced parts and only worked on once cleared with me step by step. Was more expensive than original quote and waited for the difference being so close to Christmas. Extremely satisfied with his workmanship, his thoughtfulness of entering into my home without boots on and his understanding along with politeness and was at no time badgering. I believe that this man conducted his business, which is gained via this site normally on distress of the vehicle owner. Thank you A&M.

The Kingsford® Points Chase
Chasing Kingsford
All Sauced Up gets all fired up at Stagecoach
May 09, 2011
Getting the chance to competing against some of the best teams in the country is perk-enough for many, but throw in some great country music and you've got one heck of an event.
Now imagine winning that same competition two years in a row – and the Kingsford Points Chase.
For "Dangerous Dave" Malone, that dream became a reality when his team, All Sauced Up, took home the Grand Championship at the 2011 Stagecoach Music Festival BBQ Championship in Indio, Calif.
All Sauced Up consists of Dave, his wife Mary Beth and their nine-year old son, Ryan. The family team is based in Valencia, Calif. and has been competing for three years.
Dave, an avid griller and BBQ'r, took an interest in competitive barbeque after watching the contests on the Food Network. He entered the sport of barbeque the same way many others do, as a judge. Dave enjoyed being around the teams and wanted to immerse himself fully into the sport so he decided to take up the cooking side – and he hasn't looked back since.
The team competes in about 12 contests each year and coincidentally (or not), his favorite event of the season is the Stagecoach Music Festival BBQ Championship. Having competed there three times, it's safe to say he's earned the famed Grand Champion gold record.
In addition to winning the Grand Championship and Kingsford Points Chase at Stagecoach, All Sauced Up also finished second in pork, chicken and brisket (which also happens to be Dave's favorite category). The family team also took home third place in ribs.
Like any true backyard griller, Dave loves to fire up the grill even when he's not competing. His favorite recipe is a marinated tri-tip with BBQ sauce, which he prepares with Worcestershire sauce and a rub (he says you can use your "favorite rub"). The tri-tip is then grilled indirectly on a Weber kettle for one hour – flipping once – and then sliced across the grain after letting the meat rest.

|In response to Re: toilet not filling up
: Here is the problem. Today, my toilet tank filled up slowly if at all. I looked in the tank and the water is flowing into the overflow tube and at a good rate, but the level changes very little for the amount of water going into the tank. I checked the flapper valve and it appears to seated, in fact I know it is. If I now take the hose going into the overflow tube and let it go into the tank directly, it fills up properly, the water shuts off when the tank is full, and the water stays in the tank with out leaking. I read on a site that the overflow tube assembly is probably at fault and needs replaced. Correct? Are there standard replacement parts or do I need to take the parts with me?

Leafs vs Ducks - We're the Favorites? Seriously?
January 20 2011 11:34AM
I'm not a gambler. I've been to Vegas, but never sat down at a table or put a dime into a slot machine. I watch a lot of sports, but have never placed a bet on a game ever. Just not something I'm interested in doing. Now that doesn't mean that I don't understand sports betting. Spreads, handicaps, over/unders I understand the in and outs of making a buck on sports. So imagine the surprised look on my face when I heard that the Maple Leafs were the favorite in tonight's matchup with the 5th place Anaheim Ducks. How is that even possible? Have the Vegas oddsmakers lost their mind? Yes, yes they have and here's why in handy dandy list form.
1) Anaheim is 8-2-0 over their last 10 games and have won 2 in a row.
2) The trio of Perry-Getzlaf-Ryan. Perry is on pace for a 90 point season. Getzlaf and Ryan for 70. They're pretty good.
3) Calder Trophy winner Teemu Selanne. He's ageless and over a PPG pace at the age of 40. Oh yeah he's pretty nasty on the power play as well.
4) Speaking of the Ducks' powerplay, the Leafs penalty kill is 26th in the league with a dismal 77.5 success rate.
5) Former Duck J.S. Giguere is starting in net for the Leafs. His season has been atrocious with him posting a .898 save %. Also, I'm pretty sure his old team of 9 seasons knows exactly where to shoot on him.
Follow me after the jump for reasons 6 thru 10.
6) The former Leaf returning home to light the lamp syndrome will be in full effect tonight as Jason Blake comes back to Toronto for the first time since getting shipped out with Dog Shit Toskala last year. Expect an Ovechtrick out of him tonight.
7)The Ducks wanting to stick it to their former GM tonight and playing a true Burkian game tonight. Somebody on the Leafs is gonna get injured. Book it. Done.
8) It hasn't been formally announced yet, but expect Brett Lebda to play tonight as Colton Orr may get supplemental discipline for his slash last night. Or Wilson might just go crazy and play Lebda on defense. Either way, with him in the game a loss is nearly guaranteed.
9) Jonas Hiller. He's pretty good at that whole goaltending thing.
10) Tonight is the second game in as many nights and the Leafs are 1-2-1 in the second game of back to backs this season. Last season, they were 4-10-1 in the second game. Yeah, they don't play very well without a rest.
So if you're a Vegas odds maker, you're an idiot. If you're a Leafs fan, I recommend finding something else to watch tonight. Regardless, GO LEAFS GO!

Contract Expires Early
Two months ago I signed a six month contract to do iPhone and Mac development. My first project would be an iPhone one, and my second would be a Mac project that they were pursuing. So the iPhone project is now coming to a close, and yesterday I got called in to the HR department. I was told that other iPhone contracts they were pursuing didn't materialize, and that they're giving me two weeks notice.
There was only one other permanent person working on this project (an employee, not a contractor), and he had no Mac/iPhone/Cocoa/Xcode experience whatsoever. I was the prime developer in everything but name. I did almost all the GUI for the whole project, and much of the guts as well. They are quite pleased with my work. So to be dropped this easily is a bit unnerving.
But they said that they're pursuing other opportunities, and that if one of them gets signed, that I'd be working on a Blackberry project after the iPhone one is done. That's all very nice and good, and I have nothing against the Blackberry, but I didn't sign up to do Blackberry work. I love working on the iPhone! While I've learned a lot that about iPhone development during my time here, there's still a lot more to learn. I want to continue expanding my skillset on the iPhone and want to become an iPhone domain expert. That said, learning a new platform like the Blackberry wouldn't be that bad.
But most of all, I have to wonder why I bothered signing a six month contract in the first place. What good is it to sign up for six months, only to be let go halfway through the term? I'm relatively new to the world of contracting, this being my second contract. So far it's been quite a turbulent ride, with more downs than ups. I guess this is all part of the learning process.
So anyway, now I'm now looking for work iPhone or Mac development. My resume is here.
How Much is an iPhone Developer Worth?
The author of this article at O'Reilly says that in his experience, good iPhone developers are making $125/hour doing contract work, sometimes more. And that because of how lucrative selling apps is, many contractors are forgoing contract work altogether in favour of creating and selling their own iPhone apps.
He rightly points out that in this market, ideas are worthless. I've seen this in software development before – an idea, all by itself, is worth nothing, and it's the execution of the idea that matters. The author of this article says: "I am someone who is highly motivated by ideas. So, it pains me to say that the value of an iPhone application idea right now is pretty much zero. A great idea isn't worth anything under these conditions. There is no shortage of great iPhone ideas, just a shortage of talent to bring these ideas to market." For someone like me, who doesn't seem to have a creative bone in my body (kidding!), I think that ideas are worth slightly more than that. But not much.
Which brings me to my point. I see lots of people offer to work with a developer and split the profits 50/50. In this market where a developer's time is so precious, I hardly think that this would be any motivation for a developer at all. The idea person gets half the profit and the person that does all the work gets the other half? Hardly seems fair. Especially given the fact that the split isn't actually 50/50. It's 30/35/35. That is, Apple gets 30%, the "idea person" gets 35%, and the person who creates the app gets 35%. That's even more unbalanced.
As an experienced developer who's now doing iPhone development, I don't see any iPhone devs making $125/hour. Maybe I just don't know where to look? I've been looking for good telecommuting iPhone jobs, and they're hard to find. I'm starting to be open to finding someone who is willing to offer me a true 50/50 split (that is, 30/20/50). But I still think full time/contract work is what I want.

Awesome Pumps!
"I had ordered another style/brand pump that was not comfortable and had been looking at this one online. I went into DSW store and found it in store in my size, which was on sale! I'm between a 7 1/2-8 and the 7 1/2 fit perfectly. My feet are slightly narrow and these heels run slightly narrow and slightly long. They are really stylish and very pretty and go with almost any color. They look and feel like very well made, high-end heels and I've had many compliments from wearing only one time. Thanks DSW, you made my day!!! Love 'em!"

Just a little something fun to kick up the outfit a notch. I have not worn them for an extended period of time yet so I cannot attest to how comfortable they are. But so far so good!"

Peace Country Harvest
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Chris Warkentin Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, I stand in the House today to pay tribute to the countless farm families in the Peace Country who are diligently working to complete this autumn's harvest.
This past week I travelled the Peace Country and met with many producers who are significantly behind in bringing in their crops as they have been hampered by wet weather conditions and in some cases by the sheer volume of the crops that need to be brought in.
In an effort to complete this year's harvest, I know that every member of every farm family will be working to get the job done. I want to wish every Peace Country family safety as they work around the clock. I hope and pray alongside each of them for good weather to enable the completion of this year's harvest.
Bertrand Lafontaine

Marc-André Morin Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank community workers, who are very important to our society at this time.
We live in a world that seems to be increasingly unjust. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few while more and more people are being left behind. Fortunately, there are generous people who put aside their own comfort and interest to help the disadvantaged.
Today, I would like to recognize in particular a resident of Saint-Sauveur, Mr. Bertrand Lafontaine. Since 2006, after a brilliant career in business, Mr. Lafontaine has devoted all his time to the Soupe populaire de la vallée de Saint-Sauveur, an organization that provides meals for the lonely and the needy. After five years, Mr. Lafontaine is retiring for the second time in order to enjoy life a bit. I hope his example will inspire those who follow in his footsteps.
Food For Famine Society
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring attention to the House and all Canadians that in my riding of Langley, British Columbia, there is an exciting event happening as a result of yesterday's United Nations World Food Day.
At Langley Secondary School students are hearing about the plight of children in many parts of the world, such as the Horn of Africa. Tragically, children are dying every day due to extreme malnutrition.
A Langley organization, the Food for Famine Society, in partnership with World Vision Canada, is challenging secondary students and the community to raise awareness and to raise funds so that the Food for Famine Society can produce and provide ready-to-use therapeutic food free of charge to the starving children.
This is a great example of how Canadians of all walks of life are making a wonderful difference in our world. Way to go, Langley.
National School Meals Program
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday was World Food Day, a time to reflect on the needs of Canadians. One in five children lives below the poverty line, which may lead to poor nutritional status and poor child health outcomes.
Fortunately, school nutrition programs are highly effective in providing children with nutritious diets, better cognitive abilities and health. Unfortunately, Canada is one of the few developed countries without a national nutrition program.
Outside North America school meals are viewed as an investment, rather than a cost, improving student nutrition, health and social development, and feeding regional economic development.
In Brazil, food is a constitutional right. A massive program feeds 47 million students at 190,000 schools each day.
If a national school meals program could be implemented in Canada's high schools at a cost of $1.25 per meal, with a goal of increasing graduation rates by 3%, the payback would be more than $500 million.
War of 1812
Statements By Members
October 17th, 2011 / 2:05 p.m.
Dave Van Kesteren Chatham-Kent—Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, October 14, along with my colleague from Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, I attended an important announcement highlighting the investment made by our government to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
The important Battle of Thames took place in my riding of Chatham-Kent—Essex. British and aboriginal forces fought to repel the American invasion. We remember the brave Shawnee Chief Tecumseh who died there.
Our government has received a strong mandate from Canadians to remember these important historical events. It has earmarked $28 million to help us celebrate the 200th anniversary by designating October 2012 as a month of commemoration, sponsoring hundreds of events across the country, honouring current Canadian regiments and War of 1812 militia units, restoring important historical sites, and creating a permanent monument in the capital region.
I am proud that my riding of Chatham-Kent—Essex is an important part of the celebrations to be held across Canada commemorating the War of 1812.

Jonathan Tremblay Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the incredible performance of Viateur Beaudry from Baie-Saint-Paul, who earned two medals at the 2011 Special Olympics in Athens. With determination, perseverance and skill, Mr. Beaudry won the gold medal in doubles bowling, with his partner Dwight Safroniuk of Saskatoon, and the silver medal in singles bowling at the most prestigious international competition in the world.
Mr. Beaudry was one of 109 Canadian athletes who qualified for this year's games, which welcomed 7,500 athletes representing 185 countries.
On behalf of the people of Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, I congratulate Mr. Beaudry on this outstanding achievement. His success is both a source of pride and an example of how individuals can overcome challenges.
Restaurant Industry

Joe Preston Elgin—Middlesex—London, ON
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow an important segment of our economy is meeting here in Ottawa for the first ever restaurant industry summit.
As a restaurant owner myself and having been involved in the industry for over 40 years, I am proud of the contribution that restaurants make to help strengthen the Canadian economy. The numbers are impressive: $61 billion in annual sales, one million employees, 80,000 locations.
The restaurant industry is the fourth-largest private sector employer in Canada. What is even more exciting about this industry is that it is the number one source of first-time jobs for young Canadians.
I applaud our nation's hard-working restaurateurs for creating jobs, driving demand in agriculture products and for attracting tourists to our country.
I look forward to our government continuing to work together with this valuable industry as we look to strengthen our economy. We thank all restaurateurs for the jobs they create and the vital role they play in our communities.
Canadian Wheat Board

David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is a thrill for western Canadians to hear that our government is finally moving toward giving them the same rights and opportunities as other Canadian farmers; the right to grow, the right to market and the right to sell their own crops. We have waited decades for this day.
Farmers have finally received the good news that our government will keep its promise to give them marketing freedom. The future is bright. We already know that entrepreneurs are ready to invest, farmers are ready to market and value-added jobs are just around the corner.
Farmers paid the price when the board was forced on them, and they have been paying for it ever since. That has gone on far too long. It is time to give real choice and freedom to western Canadian farmers.
The western provinces have been held back by the Wheat Board. We invite the members across the way to join with us in bringing freedom to western Canada.
Make no mistake that the government's actions will result in more investment and innovation in western Canada. It will result in value-added jobs and a stronger economy.
I ask the opposition to join with us in bringing western Canadian farmers the same freedom the rest of Canada already has.

Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give special recognition to the students at L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson, B.C. for doing their part to improve our country and secure our future.
These creative students have partnered with the community and film industry professionals to produce a feature film about climate change called Project Turquoise Snowflake. I urge my hon. colleagues to contact me for more information about this film.
Throughout this experience the message has been clear to those involved in the film and to all Canadians: all is possible when the energy and enthusiasm of youth is mixed with the experience and guidance of supportive mentors.
Climate change is an opportunity for all Canadians to work together to effect positive change.
Margaret Mead commended small groups of thoughtful, committed citizens who can change the world.
Indeed, we can find one such group at L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson, British Columbia, one of the many bright spots in my riding.
Well done, LVR.
Clay Card, Renzo Dainard, Jorden Miller and Danae Gough

Jim Hillyer Lethbridge, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to offer my sincere condolences to the friends and families of four southern Alberta teenagers who lost their lives in a car accident on Saturday night.
Clay Card was on my son's hockey team, and after the game on Saturday night, he and his friend Renzo Dainard went out with two young women, Jorden Miller and Danae Gough. Tragically, they never came home. It is a testament to their character to know that alcohol was not a factor in this accident.
The four friends all came from Magrath, a small town of about 2,300 people where everyone knows everybody. While the entire community mourns and struggles to come to grips with this tragic loss, it is comforting to know that the community will be there to support and comfort the families who lost their sons and daughters.
I call upon the members of the House to join with me in expressing our deep regrets and to offer sincere condolences to the town of Magrath and especially the parents and siblings of Clay Card, Renzo Dainard, Jorden Miller and Danae Gough.
May God grant their families peace and comfort at this difficult time.
Homelessness Awareness Night

Pierre Dionne Labelle Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, on October 21, in more than 20 cities across Quebec, organizations that help the homeless will be holding activities as part of the 22nd Nuit des sans-abri.
The public is invited to spend a night filled with warmth and emotion under the stars, in the company of street people. Every night, people live, sleep and die on Canadian streets. The Nuit des sans-abri is a special opportunity to break through indifference and diminish the stigma of homelessness by showing our support for the homeless.
The Conservative government brags that our economy is the best in the G8. Unfortunately, persistent poverty is on the rise in this country and the number of homeless people and people using food banks is growing.
I invite the Conservative government members to come down from their ivory tower and join the homeless on the street on October 21. Perhaps some contact with reality will make them less arrogant and more open to the needs of the less fortunate.
Fauja Singh

2:10 p.m.
Parm Gill Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible athlete of Sikh origin, Fauja Singh. Fauja Singh broke nine—yes, nine—world age group records this past week in Toronto. He broke the 100 metre, 200 metre, 400 metre, 800 metre, 1,500 metre, 3,000 metre and 5,000 metre world age group records.
As if these records were not enough, Fauja Singh went on to become the oldest person to ever complete a marathon. At over 100 years of age, Fauja Singh ran the Toronto waterfront marathon, 42 kilometres, in 8 hours, 11 minutes and 6 seconds. Aside from his remarkable physical abilities, Mr. Singh selflessly gives back to local communities through charities such as Guru Gobind Singh Children's Foundation, which has a mission to help children meet basic needs.
On behalf of all Canadians, especially those from my riding of Brampton—Springdale, I want to congratulate Fauja Singh on his remarkable achievements.
Dr. Richard Taor

2:10 p.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honour the distinguished 44-year career service of Dr. Richard Taor. For 34 of those years, Dr. Taor served the people of Channel-Port aux Basques and surrounding communities in my riding of Random—Burin—St. George's. He cared for his patients with immense compassion and devotion.
As a rural doctor in Newfoundland and Labrador, he overcame challenges to ensure that those in his care received the treatment they needed. His tireless service and staunch work ethic meant his patients received the best medical care possible. Dr. Taor is known for never rushing his patients and always taking time to listen.
Dr. Taor came to Channel-Port aux Basques in 1977 from England. He was welcomed with open arms to an area that he admits he knew almost nothing about. Although his services were pursued by larger communities, he remained loyal to the people who needed his help most. He will be missed as a doctor in the area, but will remain a friend and neighbour.
I ask all members to join me in thanking Dr. Richard Taor for his years of service and in congratulating him on a well-deserved retirement.
Riley Senft
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
John Weston West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, there is nothing more powerful than a Canadian family dedicated to an important cause, such as fighting cancer.
Thirty years ago we were inspired by Terry Fox. In the House we saw first-hand the struggle of Jack Layton, supported by family members like the member for Trinity—Spadina. More recently Canadians celebrated with Riley Senft, a 32-year-old whose West Vancouver family together confronted the challenge of prostate cancer. Riley's grandfather died of prostate cancer in the fall of 2010, and his father Rod, a leading Canadian businessman, is undergoing second-time treatment for this disease.
Bruised but unbowed by cancer in the family, Riley ran over 6,600 kilometres from coast to coast, speaking in communities as he went. Buoyed by his father, his mother Jeannie and his siblings Derek and Lauren, Riley has raised over $500,000 in the battle against prostate cancer. Over 1,000 people greeted Riley in West Vancouver this month to celebrate the completion of his astonishing run.
May we now rise as well to acknowledge this outstanding Canadian.
Alexandra Dodger

Dan Harris Scarborough Southwest, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I rise with a heavy heart to remember the life of a friend whose journey was tragically cut short this past Saturday at the age of 27. Alexandra Dodger was killed after being struck by a car near her home in Ottawa.
Alex was an extraordinary woman who was passionate about life and was determined to improve the lives of those around her. She cared deeply about giving a voice to the voiceless. Alex had just graduated from law school at McGill earlier this year and started a promising career with Amnesty International. Alex dedicated so much of her time to many causes, one of which was the Ontario New Democratic Youth, where I had the pleasure of working with her and where we became friends. There is no doubt in my mind that Alex was destined to do great things and was going to bring forth positive change.
I will cherish our time spent together and miss all the times that we will never have. On behalf of myself, Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition and all our staff, many of whom knew Alex well, I would like to extend our deep and sincere condolences to Alex's family, friends and colleagues, but especially to her mother and grandmother, who must now endure what no parent or grandparent should have to.

I think there is more to know about Unohana, and I hope Kubo keeps her around for this and other reasons.
I think that she resigned from her position right after that fight with Zaraki. She already found a worthy successor, all she needed to do was to prepare herself and await his return... unfortunately, when he returned he still was limiting himself and seemingly she was forbidden from directly confronting him (up to now at least). In a way, her dream was already half complete by finding him and seeing as no one else strong enough was left to bring her joy (Yamamoto changed after the war and all other strong people went to Zero Squad, or simply were weaker than her) she devoted herself to healing arts (in order to prolong their future fight). Seeing as both, Kenpachi and Unohana, have scars, means that she didn't know healing arts at that time, or at least wasn't at the level at which she is today (to be able to quickly heal wounds without leaving scars). It seems that the Zero Healer taught her basics and left her some techniques for her to master in time. Perhaps the purpose of the 4th squad wasn't to be healers, but to decipher and obtain those techniques for herself (assuming that she wasn't able to do it at first). Of course experience in healing others certainly polished her skills.

Medicare prescription drugs -- everybody wins
Now that Congress has passed prescription drug coverage under Medicare, think of all the benefits that senior citizens will come to enjoy. Qualified Medicare enrollees now are given 'discount cards' by pharmaceutical companies that allow for discounts off of an as-yet-undetermined double-digit annual increase in prices.
It's too bad that non-seniors will continue to pay usurious prices for prescription drugs, but then we can't expect Congress to work all of its miracles at once, can we? At least we can now put a stop to the unlawful re-importation of those dangerous Canadian drugs. Never mind that there has not been a single documented case of death or injury due to drug re-importation. Congress has opted to err on the side of safety. This safety net will assure that U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers will prosper and we can continue to enjoy those thousands upon thousands of wonderful television and print media ads extolling the virtues of these gratuitous 'angels of mercy'.
Here's the beauty of it all. There is explicit language in the Act that prohibits Medicare from negotiating prices with drug manufacturers. By allowing drug manufacturers to gouge Medicare according to whatever the market will bear, pharmaceutical stocks will soar in value.
And there's an added bonus. Insurance companies and advertising agencies will be taking an even larger slice of the prescription drug benefit. This Thanksgiving 'turkey' that Congress and the AARP has served up will redound to their benefit -- big time. But there is more good news. After the pharmaceutical, insurance and advertising interests have gobbled up most of the turkey, there might still be enough of the carcass left for the drug consumer to pick on.
Those of us who have millions of dollars in pharmaceutical, insurance and advertising company stocks soon will realize unimaginable gains. CEOs of major pharmaceutical companies will no longer have to be content to receive an average $37 million in annual compensation. With additional growth incentives, such as more tax relief, pharmaceutical company executives will have the financial freedom to further expand their enterprises abroad -- not to mention that their companies won't have to pay taxes to the U.S. government. Don't worry about loss of tax revenue. Those that do pay taxes will pick up the slack; or we can push the inevitable day of reckoning ahead to those who will have to deal with today's record-deficit spending tomorrow.
With privatization of Medicare prescription drug benefits now a fait accompli, insurance company involvement has added to the administrative costs of providing benefits. The administrative cost of providing medical benefits under Medicare formerly had been about two percent. According to some experts, involving private insurance carriers could keep administrative costs down to about nine percent.
And let's not forget the hidden costs of obtaining this prescription drug legislation. Pharmaceutical companies have donated millions of dollars to senators and representatives for their election campaigns. Can you just imagine how much President Bush's campaign had received from a grateful pharmaceutical industry for his support?
Although there are far too many to list here, be sure to remember all those staunch defenders of the free enterprise system when you vote in the next elections.

Pleasantly SurprisedI just finished using this product and I must say that I am very impressed. I have been straightening my hair for 10 years now. I have had numerous keratin treatments and even did one myself. The fumes were horrible. So, when i saw this I had to try it. No fumes, easy to use and the results look great so far. I don't know how long it will last - they say one month. I will just have to wait and see. I used half of this product so I will be able to do it again.

Best Thing I've Done For My HairI have 3c curls and my hair is not damaged but it needed a little extra TLC. and have such tight cork screw curls frizz in inevitable. When I first applied this this treatment the first thing that stood out was the smell, like yummy coconut gelato. Then after I blow dried and flat iron my hair felt a little rough kind off stiff not the usual feel of my hair when I typically straighten. I know that can happen when you are infusing protein into your hair so I tried not to be weary about it. Now the next day when I washed my hair out and styled it, I had unbelievable curl definition. I had like 3b curls and so soft and healthy looking, then shine and sheen projecting from my hair was amazing. I am SOLD!!!!!! I will definitely be purchasing this over and over again..

I followed the directions exactly and my hair is a little less curly, not even close to what I expected.

Fab Waves!I reviewed this product for my beauty blog. My hair was really broken and destroyed from bleach. It was super hard to brush through and just looked dry and damaged (like a tumbleweed, as my roommate says). The treatment softened and repaired my hair without straightening it. The pic I'm attaching is of my hair before (airdried with nothing in it), after finishing the application process, and then a day later after washing the treatment out and letting it air-dry after the 24 hour processing period. I honestly think the pics say it all.

DisappointedI heard many great things about the keratin treatment, but honestly...I am not impressed. My hair was already in pretty good condition b/c I take very good care of it. My hair looks pretty much the same. Yes, I used it correctly and did exactly what it said, but I am just not impressed. My mom did it and it looked amazing on her, but her hair had been damaged previously. I wish I could get my $75 back. :(Dec 20, 2010Leah / NJHAIR TYPEBlack / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

More Please!The RDK home kit has worked miracles for my frizzy, out of control hair. I always wanted to try professional straightening at the salon but never got around to it, plus it's so expensive. A friend of mine recommended the RDK home kit, so I decided to give it a shot. It's so easy - the application was done in under an hour. My hair was left smooth, shiny and completely without frizz. These incredible results lasted about two months. I would love to purchase another kit - Folica, please restock!Dec 3, 2010Katie F. / Albany, NYHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

It Really Works!!!I am in awe with my results after using the RDK Treatment. My hair was damaged, frizzy, and unruly until this miracle treatment was introduced to me.
The application was so simple...easy like coloring your hair from a box. The entire process from start to finish took me only 45mins. My hair was immediately transformed to a silky, smooth, natural, healthy looking hair with volume and movement.
OMG! I recommend this to every woman and man who need to tame their hair and want the luxury of easily, manageable hair.

Perfect Hair!My hair was never extra curly, but it was very frizzy and dry from years of highlighting. The RDK home kit was perfect for my hair. It didn't completely straighten it, but it got rid of all my frizz and a lot of the curls without making it totally flat and straight. It's much more manageable now and only takes a few minutes to blow dry in the morning. I love this product and would definitely recommend it for a quicker styling process and healthier, more manageable hair.Nov 24, 2010Kelly B.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Better Than The Salon!I've purchased this kit twice and got four applications out of it.
It's super easy if you know how to blow-dry and flat-iron your own hair decently (I have thick, shoulder-length hair and it took me about an hr and 15 min). It took out all of the frizz and 50% of the curl for about a month. After a month, the curl comes back but the frizz stays away for another month. It makes it really easy to straighten my hair when I want to, but I typically DON'T like wearing my hair straight so this product was perfect for me. I've had keratin straightening in the salon before, but it makes my hair too straight. This has all the same results without making my hair flat. It also gave me a ton of shine.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that wants to wash and go and have soft, beachy waves.
The only (small) complaint I have is I WANT MORE SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER!! I run out after a month. Hopefully they come out with that soon (it's coconut scented and I love it!)Nov 23, 2010Sammy / New York, NYHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Bad Quality

Pretty but worth it
"I bought these in both black and pink because they looked super cute. When I got them I couldn't even buckle the straps because they ran soo small. I wear a size 10 and the bottom of the sandal was long enough for my foot, but the strap to buckle the shoe is not long enough. I would definitely recommend sizing up if you are going to buy these. Also - on the pairs that I received the rhinestones were already missing. They are very cheap looking stones and are only glued on. For the price these were I would expect better quality. Sadly, as cute as these were they were returned as they didn't fit and were not worth the cost."
