Zoom Lizards
Zoom soft plastic baits are known throughout the bass fishing world as tough, dependable plastics that catch fish under every condition, and these lizards are no exception. The secret is in the consistency of the injected plastic - just soft enough for smooth flowing motion in the tail and legs but tough enough to last for more than one fish. The colors run true from lizard to lizard and from bag to bag, ensuring you fish-catching baits every time. Make sure you have enough of your favorite color for the next tournament or the next day of fun fishing. Zoom plastic also takes dye very well, enabling you to customize your baits for changing situations while out on the water. Zoom always offers a great value for a great product.
39 Colors
Customer Reviews
Comments: These are not just the best lizard but the best soft plastics. I love the six inch size as the black red flake. When it is Texas rigged with a 1/4 ounce worm weight it is straight money. Go and buy these now.
From: Caleb: Salisbury, Connecticut 2/21/17
Comments: These baits are money! They are my go to bait in any depth or the darkness of the water. Fish them on a 5/0 EWG hook with either a 1/4 ounce worm weight or weightless and get ready to catch some toads. They are also great jig trailers. I use the four inch for flipping jigs. I love the black red flake in the 6 inch but I'm sure any color would work.
From: Unknown 2/21/17
Comments: Drop shot bedding bass with the 4" Zoom lizard. Use a standard drop shot approach except tie the hook five inches from the weight. Place the tungsten weight on the bed, then gently raise and lower the lizard, occasionally stopping at the top or bottom to change the cadence. Repeat until the fish is caught. Sometimes if the fish doesn't bite, try a different color or try back later in the day. With so many four inch lizards in a pack, they are an affordable bass nemesis for spring fishing.
From: Meredith: Camdenton, Missouri 2/20/17
Comments: My confidence bait! Fish this around the bank, use green pumpkin chartreuse tail it works in any water
From: Gary: Tennessee 1/3/17
Comments: They're the bestseller for a reason. They WORK. I catch half of my pond bass on the 8" Magnum Lizard in Watermelon/Chartreuse. Occasionally switch to Pumpkin/Chartreuse, but the former works too well most of the time. Texas-rigged with a 3/8 oz brass bullet worm weight. 2/0 worm hook. If you can get it to where the fish are, they'll hit it.
From: James: KY 12/1/16
Comments: Don't overlook Dropshotting a Zoom lizard...any size will work, if your hook matches up to your rod & line. Try a circle hook. For that matter, try two circle hooks on your DS rig. You can thank me later!
From: Steve: WA 9/24/16
Comments: Great bait & very productive. I have tried with most success texas rigging & 4 or 5 wide gap hooks. Great color diversity. I have got most bass with water melon, green pumpkin & junebug during spring.
From: Rafamar: Monterrey, NM 5/15/16
Comments: I have caught literally over a hundred bass in a day on these lizards. I do not go anywhere with out the 6in watermelon seed
From: Zach: Theriot, LA 3/14/16
Comments: I like using the white lizards for the spawn with a 3/16 tungsten and a 3/0 EWG gamakatsu hook & my other favorite color is black with a blue tail
From: Logan: Biloxi, MS 2/15/16
Comments: people say use bigger baits to catch bigger fish that is true in some ways but I recently bought the 6in chartuse pepper lizard an it is awesome I caught a 10lb 3oz bass an several other really good size bass with this as of now this is one of my favorite lizards looking forward to trying some other colors out
From: Seth: Whigham, GA 10/11/15
Comments: These are the best lizards on the market. My favorite colors or red shad and black blue flk. Ive had my most success rigging the weightless and twitching them through grass and texas rigging across the bottom and topwater. Ive had 8in bass take the 6in lizard but if you're going for big bass definitely go with 8in
From: Cristian: Grand Rapids 8/5/15
Comments: These lizards are pretty good. They work real well and catch lots of fish all the time. They are not the most durable baits thought. The noses tear easily and the limbs fall off. I am also disappointed to see that my favorite color is gone. It was called Blue Moccasin or something like that. It works well Texas rigged down here. For the price these baits are good, but the Yum lizards hold up just a little bit better.
From: Ethan: Meridian, MS 3/17/14
Comments: This is the best lizard I have ever used and one of my best all time lures.
From: Kyle: US Chicago
Comments: Really productive lizard. Its great on a 3/0 trokar magworm. Wat/red is awesome and if they aint on it like the should be dip the tail in chart. garlic jj's or spike it and they will tear it up.
From: Will: AL
Comments: LOVE THESE THINGS! I have had lots of luck with the 4 inch watermelon red rigged with a 2/0 EWG hook but is better with 3/0 EWG hook. First time ever used, first cast flippin into some sticks and grass caught a 3lb bass largemouth. Also have luck with the 6 inch watermelon red.
From: OR
Comments: It is a good lizard.I have a Watermelon color rigged on a 4/0 EWG Hook. I fished it on a slow retreive.It hit the water and a nice bass hammered it right away.All in all it is a get lizard.
From: Wyatt: SD
Comments: Beats yum by a mile. Best lizard ever made, I like the green pumpkin magic but every color will put bass in your live well with ease.
Comments: Absolutely the best soft plastic to use in the spring time, me and my buddies have been catching largemouth or getting bites 80% of our casts using them weightless and t-rigged on the green with red flake, I have even been using it with a punch skirt weightless with great success. Had to go buy a couple more packs but if the head gets ripped up simply tear just the head off and t-rig it again :)
From: Zach: IN
Comments: im gong to let a cat outta the bag here and tell my fellow friends here on TW a topsecret trick i use in my area on the 8" lizard that got my fish of a lifetime a 18lb. 6oz largie...(this is a topsecret lure for me still,i wont even tell my boat buddies what it is,they think its some plastic lizard made by some mystery brand that i refuse to tell or share haha)ok what i do is take 2 of the 8" lizards and run a small slit in the belly of 1 and place a rattle in it then i run a line of super glue down the bottom (flat side) of the izard and i take another lizard and glue the 2 bottom to bottom (flatsides together) i leave the arms and tails free (unglued).this gives the bait amuch bigger profile and moves more water with all the arms and tails moving plus the added sound of rattles now,so there u have it,if u want to give it a try...its something the bass dont see often...a beefed up lizard.
From: Steveo: USA
Comments: These lizards are one of the best soft plastics for spawning largemouths. I know fisherman in Tenn. that use Zoom lizards Carolina-rigged for keeper smallies in the Spring on Norris. Green pumpkin, cotton candy, and watermelon colors seem to be the most popular colors in the South East.
From: John: Lexington, KY
Comments: Best soft plastic lizard on the market period, way better than the yum lizard, and swims more natural than the yum lizard does. Any color that mimics a sallemander black blue fleck or red fleck, red shad, watermelon red, etc will catch a ton of fish in any water clarity. I don't even hardly bother with any size smaller than 8 inches, it just seems that the bass dont fall for the smaller ones as much, maybe because most lizards on the market are the 6 inch ones or smaller, who knows. I only weight it if im flipping and pitching it, the rest of the time its fished weightless just slow rolling it, mainly because in florida most of the lakes arent all that deep, and the slower more horizontal fall catches more fish than the nose first dive with it weighted. Just slow roll it around any type of cover, and let it fall to the bottom and work it slowly along the bottom like a sallemander then swim it again, or burn it on the surface, like a longer toad almost, absolutely deadly bait, and at 3.99 a pack you can't beat it.
From: Ben: FL
Comments: Love these lizards only ones in my tackle box!! and the only ones that will ever be.
From: Garrett: GA
Comments: just drag it along the bottom and hold on it kills
From: Ben
Comments: best bait ive ever used it is durable and catches bass. I caught 3 four plus bass and a five 3 (get the white)
From: Preston: Tecumseh
Comments: This lure is superb and has caught me tons of fish. However it is not the most durable lure and the head tends to rip.
From: Moffit
Comments: Went thru 2 packs a few days ago. Dont sleep on slow rolling a lizard. Another great '2 presentations in one cast' bait. If you dont know what that means, I aint gonna tell you.
From: Meatwad: Hangin ova
Comments: Aw man! Versatile and Effective. Weightless for a semi topwater bait, Texas rigged(bumped along bottom or slow rolling for a good swimming action), swimbait, flipping and pitching, trailers(4" works best for that), carolina rig. The sky is the limit for these baits. So buy a pack any size I've had yearling bass eat the 6" on several occasions.
From: Britt: South Alabama

Last season Munster scored over 100 points in their three wins over the Welsh region but it may be the Heineken Cup quarter final defeat that rankles the most. "While we can't do anything about the way we played against Munster in the Heineken Cup last term," he says, " I don't think we'll have a repeat performance.We have really good ideas and a smart game-plan to bring to the table on Saturday."
And the 33 year old who won 32 caps for his native New Zealand also feels that this could be a Munster side who've lost their edge, " Maybe the Munster we've seen this term isn't the Munster we've come to expect over the past couple of years, " he ventures.
The Ospreys are without big-hitters such as Lee Byrne, Adam Jones, Mike Phillips, Ryan Jones and Ian Gough while head coach Sean Holley has left James Hook on the bench.
Munster arrived in Swansea without Marcus Horan, Jerry Flannery, David Wallace and Denis Leamy and give their Sprinboks prop Wian du Preez his first start while Doug Howlett returns to action after injury in the game against Benetton Treviso.
Both coaches share the same challenge of integrating players back into the fold after the autumn international series and with European matches looming this afternoon's encounter means much more than just the Magners League points that are on offer.
Munster: P Warwick; D Howlett, J de Villiers, L Mafi, K Earls; R O'Gara, T O'Leary; W du Preez, D Fogarty, J Hayes; D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell; A Quinlan, N Ronan, J Coughlan. Replacements: D Varley, T Buckley, D Ryan, N Williams, P Stringer, I Dowling, D Hurley.
Ospreys: G Owen; T Bowe, S Parker, A Bishop, N Walker; D Biggar, L Davies; D Jones, R Hibbard, C Mitchell; A-Wyn Jones, J Thomas; J Collins, M Holah, F Tiatia. Replacements: H Bennett, P James, C Griffiths, A Lloyd, B Lewis, R Webb, J Hook.

Decorate your look with a frame of Southwestern flair. Crafted in your choice of gold-tone or silver-tone, these earrings showcase a White Buffalo calcite quartz with tan and black matrix surrounded by a textured frame. Perfect for so many looks.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

|In response to Re: Dielectric Union
: I have a customer who would prefer not to use dielectric unions in their facility. Is there anything that is published that states a brass nipple or a bronze valve can be used for the same purpose?
Are you sure you are talking about a dielectric union?? or something else?? a dielectric union is an electrical insulating connection. generaly used between two dissimilar metal pipes to slow down galvanic corrossion. There is usualy no need for these in new construction because all the piping is generaly of the same material.
A brass nipple is an excellent electrical conductor and will not hinder galvanic corrossion at all.
A short length of CPVC or PEX installed between two dissimilar metal pipes would serve the same purpose. although it would generaly end up with extra connections.
The most common use of the dielectric union is between old galvanized iron pipe and new copper tubing used to replace part of it or to run additional lines.

This is just another example of the "freedom is luxury" philosophy at Il Salviatino.
Il Salviatino's star chef, Saverio Sbaragli states, "Nothing makes me happier than seeing our guests dine on property and seeing them return day after day. However in a city and a region with such a rich and varied gastronomic tradition we thought that it was only fair to offer our guests some amazing alternatives. On many occasions, guests may find dining in the city a risky business. We want to eliminate that risk and ensure that when they are not on property guests will still have an exceptional Tuscan experience".
Some of the chosen partners of Il Salviatino are L'Antico Ristoro di' Cambi, famous for its Fiorentina T-Bone steak and Olio and Convivium, a gastronomic atelier in the Palazzo Capponi.

Doctors Consider a Last Best Hope for Obese Teenagers: Surgery
February 24, 2017
Eclampsia is seizures (convulsions) in a pregnant woman. These seizures are not related to an existing brain condition.
Doctors do not know exactly what causes eclampsia. The following may play a role:
Eclampsia follows a condition called preeclampsia. This is a serious complication of pregnancy that includes high blood pressure and excess and rapid weight gain.
It is hard to predict which women with preeclampsia go on to have seizures. Women at high risk of seizures have severe preeclampsia and:
Your chance of getting preeclampsia increases when:
Symptoms of eclampsia include:
Symptoms of preeclampsia include:
The health care provider will do a physical exam to check for possible causes of seizures. Blood pressure and breathing rate will be checked and monitored.
Blood and urine tests may be done to check:
Delivering your baby is the main treatment for severe preeclampsia to prevent eclampsia. Allowing the pregnancy to go on can be dangerous to both you and the baby.
You may be given medicine to prevent seizures. These medicines are called anticonvulsants.
Your doctor may prescribe medicine to lower high blood pressure. If your blood pressure stays high, delivery may be needed, even if your baby is premature.
Women with eclampsia or preeclampsia have a higher risk of:
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if you have any symptoms of eclampsia or preeclampsia. Emergency symptoms include seizures or decreased alertness.
Seek medical care right away if you have any of the following:
It is important for all pregnant women to get early and ongoing medical care. This allows for early diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as preeclampsia. Treating preeclampsia may prevent eclampsia.

Great boot, great price
"I am very fond of the Jessica Simpson brand. Her intricate styles and designs for her footwear is second to none IMO. Although I like her shoes, I had never owned a pair until I purchased these. Based on the positive feedback and recommendations by others (who own some of her shoes) I opted to buy a pair. I was looking for a basic black boot and this pair was perfect for Fall or Winter, casual or dressy. Comfortable and trendy...just what I like. Love these boots!!! I want to find an identical pair in a camel color."

|In response to Re: Polybutylene Plumbing Systems (Vanguard Plastics, Inc.)
: : The copper pipes in our almost 40 year old home have developed pin hole leaks over the past few years which my husband repaired. We are now thinking it's time to replace the water system. We would like to use Polybutylene Pipe equipped with a pressure reducing valve to reduce pressure to range of about 50 psi as allowed by our county plumbing code. We'd like to use ploybutylene because the easiest and most cost efficient way to replumb would be through our attic instead of through the walls (we don't have a basement as house is on a slab of concrete). After reading all the posts about polybutylene pipe, I'm thinking maybe our county code is out dated. Is all polybutylene pipe bad? Our county allows it for internal use on water pipe distribution systems.
: Dear Nancy:
: When I built my own home in 1991 I installed polybutylene "PB" hot and cold water lines in the house as well as over 2000' of PB pipe in the basement floor for radiant floor heat. We used the Vanguard brand product and have had no problems. I am not a Licensed Plumber, however I do hold a HARV (heating, air conditioning, refrigeration and ventilating) Masters License. The reason I mention this is that we make our living fitting and repairing copper pipe. I could just as easily installed copper, however I looked at all the alternatives and I thought PB was superior to copper. I found that there are two problems that contribute to the negativity of PB 1. The early fittings were made from an acetal material that were subject to being improperly installed and deterioration in time. 2. The rank and file plumbing industry never embraced the PB product. You will probably find it difficult to find the PB product since it has not been manufactured for 2-3 years.
: PS: I neglected to say that both mine and my cousins homes are on private wells.
: Good luck and if I can be of further help please E-mail me at email@example.com

Yesterday DT got styled and hair-braided as part of the Madewell Denim Roadtrip! Out of three options, Renee opted for a crown braid, dubbed "the rail straight," and was then styled by the Madewell team. Renee's wearing the boyjean in riding spur wash ($125). Sidenote: We had to share, these awesome green suede pumps are on sale now ($150) . The brand is taking an expertly branded Airstream (notice: the grey striped awning matched the grey striped clutch in Renee's hands) across the country to promote their new denim line.

Is there a Lab Test for Gluten Sensitivity?
4 comments:
- Patricia V said...
I have a question. I went to my primary care physician with symptoms that mirror celiac disease. He ran a celiace disease panel and checked some other things as well. When he called me with the results he said I may have celiac and to make an appt with a gastroenterologist. When I looked at the results the only thing abnormal were my transglutaminese Iga was 27.3 (my labs reference number was >15 positive). Does this mean I am positive for Celiac? Btw my mother has Celiac Disease and I have a hypothyriid which is treated with Synthroid. Why did my primary dr say maybe? My other numbers were normal. What are your thoughts?
- melfitz said...
I recently ran a stool test through Enterolab for my daughter. She showed elevated gliadin antibodies as well as elevated Transglutaminase IgA antibodies. Her recent blood test however showed no tTg antibodies. Clearly she has a gluten issue, but might she also have Celiac? She has only very mild symptoms (would not even be noticed except I recently had a gluten related thyroid autoimmune attack) and the Enterolab gene test showed 2 copies of DQ1, not the celiac dq2 gene.
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
@ Patricia V - sorry for the delay in this comment, there was a glitch in the site.
I'm assuming you've seen a GI doc by now. Please update me as to what occurred and if you're feeling better.
I ask because there are varying degrees of expertise among gastroenterologists and I want to ensure you're getting the best advice.
Since the tTG was positive, hopefully the rest of your symptoms and health status was taken into account and a diagnosis made.
What's important is to also address the secondary effects of gluten.
Consider contacting us for a free health analysis (call 408-733-0400) and then we can speak and figure out the very best approach for you.
We're here to help!
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
With not DQ2 or DQ8 it's not considered possible to have celiac disease, per current research. Elevated gliadin antibodies with DQ1 shows possible gluten sensitivity according to some, although there is not 100% agreement yet on gluten sensitivity tests.
You do seem convinced she has a gluten issue, so the test does show alignment with what you're seeing in your daughter.
If you'd like some assistance with specifics and ensuring that all the secondary effects are addressed, consider contacting us for a free health analysis - call 408-733-0400.
We're here to help!

Berkley Havoc Larry Nixon Bottom Hopper Jr. 4.75" 15pk
Pro designed to help you catch more fish, the Berkley HAVOC Bottom Hopper Jr. was designed by veteran professional bass angler, Larry Nixon. Arguably the finest worm fisherman the sport has ever known, he has over 34 years of experience in the pro ranks, as well as a Bassmaster Classic title and two BASS Angler of the Year titles to his name. Nixon used the old straight tail Creme Scoundrel (originally introduced by Nick Creme in 1949) as his inspiration for the Havoc Bottom Hopper, and channeled his vast experience and knowledge base to make a few key adjustments.
First off, Nixon made the nose more rounded, so it was a little more user-friendly for either a Texas-rig or shakey head, and he also thinned out the tail a little bit to give it some extra action and vibration. In order to ensure maximum hooking potential, he took out some additional plastic where you insert the point of the hook. Nixon got his hands on the finished product just in time to fish it at the 2011 Hartwell FLW Tour Major. The Bottom Hopper produced every fish he caught, and helped him lock in a 6th place finish. A deadly new bait based on a classic, the Berkley Havoc Bottom Hopper Jr. is available in a range of colors.
"Probably the biggest reason I go with the bigger over the smaller or vice versa, is based on the quality and type of fish a place has to offer. If I'm fishing for spots or smallmouth, or a mixed bag, then I'll use the smaller worm. But if it's basically a largemouth lake with a lot of quality fish, then I'll use the bigger one." - Larry Nixon, FLW Tour pro.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Wow, no reviews on these yet. Well OK then. They are great. Just like the rest of the Havoc line. Price? Actually the Netbait finesse worms are cheaper, but they are stiff and not as soft. The bottom hopper is about the same price per worm as the Zoom finesse worms, but they are softer, have less salt, so they stand out on a drop shot hook better, and off the bottom on a shaky head better too. I just hope they keep them in the line up now the Larry Nixon is with GYCB.

A little off-topic, but I dunno know many of you ship Heero x Relena at all, but I've started to scan a lot of doujinshi which feature them... I'll be posting them up on my blogspot. http://gloryoflosers.blogspot.com/
If anyone wants to translate them, you're more than welcome.

So um, just popping in on a break from revision, and uh... so now Rashid is an adulterous ho? xD Why did I come here?!
I think loads of people on here ship 1xR actually, they'll be happy I agree with Eeni though, I prefer them as individuals. Mostly cos I've never seen it portrayed well and think there's more to Relena than being some girlfriend. BBUUUTT loads of people on here will love this, thanks Peacecraft!
(And I'll have a look myself, if nothing else there's nice artwork )

Hello, everyone!
I'm new here, but i've actually been following this thread for a while, and I've noticed that, apart from Deacon Blues brilliant translations and collaborations from everyone, you haven't been able to read the whole novel, right?
So, I'm not sure if this is against the rules (I think it isn't, since it's not an official translation), but I know this livejournal from this kind soul who's translated ever chapter up to Nocturne of Sorrow (i think that would be chapter 14).
Am I allowed to post it here, do you want me to?
And I think I may add: if you read it completely, you'll get to the conclusion that Sumisawa is a bloody bastard.
But a brilliant one! I personally think the story is amazing. But again, I've read the whole 14 chapters so far.

Yeah sure why not, all we've pretty much gotten are summaries... I'd be game to actually have something to read seeing as Deacon is debating still on if he's gonna translate the "Current" stuff only taking place on Mars.

Also thanks a ton for those doujin scans peacecraft. By the way, if you need help restoring the lost FT and GoL chapters sendspace was so kind to delete, drop a word. I have a bunch of them on my PC and I'm sure the others have the files lying around somewhere, too.
Personally, I've always preferred mediafire. Though I'm sure any day it's going to get the megaupload treatment as well.

Does anyone remember this GW video with Heero and Dr J, in some different kind of animation, like 3D? It was short and had no purpose apparently, but I remember seeing it a few years ago...

I saw this and because of the context assumed you were suggesting people made 3D animations of Heero and Dr J "in a relationship" and that it was also canon.
I'm calling my therapist. Not that I have one. But now seems like the right time to find one.
topic: reading some recent chapters of FT, I've come to the conclusion that some parts are better than we give them credit for.
Granted, the plot, execution and details still make it silly, but it's hilariously comical and some paragraphs are actually even decent storytelling. Katerina and Sabrina are actually reasonably interesting, if they weren't Peacecrafts that conveniently live with the very same Darlians that will raise the next generation. And if they didn't copy Relena's more odd mannerisms as if introducing yourself to thin air was some sort of genetic family trait while out-piloting Zechs with their ability to just jump into a machine like that needs no training. With the help of a cat. Sigh.
I like Katerina, actually. As a toned-down standalone, with them as, say, kids from another Sanc family close to the Peacecrafts or related this could've done well. It would've added depth to Sanc and its hierarchy (and dynasties and whatever) as well.
Or maybe I'm too optimistic haha

And no, one thing has nothing to do with another.
And I forgive Katerina for being a pilot, after all she wasn't raised with the Peacecrafts.

Somewheeeeere over the rainbooooow!~ Jeez, I can't stop cracking up at this. xD
But if we're talking about an actual relationship, as in them being lovers, then I apparently missed something.
And I think you're referring to Gundam Evolve 7. Watching this always reminds me of Beast wars...
Great, now I want to see Beast Wars. Blast you FBI for taking down MU where all the episodes were uploaded!

I have to admit that I really like the idea of Katrina being a female Gundam pilot, but most important the fact that she is the protagonist of her own story. The fact that GW have FIVE main pilots/protagonist and none of them is a woman, this upset me alot.

And as far as the 1xR goes, I've never asked simply because I've been through so many flame wars about this... it's just not worth. But I'm glad to see we do have 1xR supporters here ^_^

Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that the government does not want to listen to Canadians, does not respect parliamentary conventions, and does not want to split Bill C-38, the Trojan Horse.
This bill will gut environmental protections, take money out of the hands of pensioners and further reduce the powers of the Auditor General.
I am wondering what else the government has in store for Canadians.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, our government's priority is, of course, the economy. We are committed to job creation and economic growth.
As a result, this afternoon we will continue debate on Bill C-38, the jobs, growth and long-term prosperity act. This bill implements the budget, Canada's economic action plan 2012, to ensure certainty for the economy.
For the benefit of Canadians and parliamentarians, when we introduced the bill, we said we would vote on it on May 14. The second reading vote on the jobs, growth and long-term prosperity act will be on May 14.
After tomorrow, which will be the final day of debate on this bill, we will have had the longest second reading debate on a budget bill in at least the last two decades.
On Monday and Tuesday we will continue with another bill that will support the Canadian economy and job creation, especially in the digital and creative sectors.
We will have report stage and third reading debate on Bill C-11, the Copyright Modernization Act.
This bill puts forth a balanced, common sense plan to modernize our copyright laws. Committees have met for over 60 hours and heard from almost 200 witnesses. All of this is in addition to the second reading debate on Bill C-11 of 10 sitting days.
After all that debate and study, it is time for the measures to be fully implemented so Canadians can take advantage of the updated rules and create new high-quality digital jobs.
Should the opposition agree that we have already had ample debate on Bill C-11, we will debate Bill C-25, the pooled registered pension plans act; Bill C-23, the Canada–Jordan free trade act; and Bill C-15, the strengthening military justice in the defence of Canada act in the remaining time on Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday, May 16, will be the next allotted day.
On Thursday morning, May 17, we will debate the pooled registered pension plans act. This bill will help Canadians who are self-employed or who work for a small business to secure a stable retirement.
In the last election, we committed to Canadians that we would implement these plans as soon as possible. This is what Canadians voted for and this is what we will do.
If it has been reported back from committee, we will call Bill C-31, the protecting Canada's immigration system act, for report stage debate on Thursday afternoon.

Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order to clarify an answer given last night in the committee of the whole.
In my enthusiasm to talk about the medical system, in particular the mental health system that we have in place in the Canadian Forces, I referenced the Canadian Forces health care budget as having "ongoing capital" of $439.6 million as opposed to saying "including capital". Therefore, I am simply correcting the record.
To be clear, I should have said, "This brings the ongoing budget to $439.6 million for the Canadian Forces health care system."

Don Davies Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order to bring to your attention that prior to question period the member for Kootenay—Columbia used his Standing Order 31 statement to launch a personal attack on me, no less on a completely baseless and false matter.
This is the second time this has happened, and I raised a point of order two months ago on this very point.
You have repeatedly ruled that is an inappropriate use of Standing Order 31 for members to attack other members of this House.
Ironically, just today the government House leader stood up in question period and decried the use of personal attacks on those who want to serve the public, which I presume includes members of Parliament, yet the current government continues to do that very thing with Standing Order 31 statements every day.
I ask that you uphold your own ruling of this House and require the member for Kootenay—Columbia to withdraw his comments forthwith.

Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to the speech that my colleague delivered just before question period. He was making some excellent points.
I would really appreciate it if the member would take a little more time to elaborate on some of the environmental implications of what he was saying. I think the House would appreciate hearing what they are.

3:10 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that question from my colleague.
One of the comments that I have heard most often from the opposition in response to our budget is that because the time government spends on the environmental process would be shortened, the process would somehow not be as thorough.
I mentioned in my comments that just the opposite is true. If the members opposite are really serious about doing their job of critiquing this legislation, they should probably read the legislation, tie the legislation in with other legislation that is in place and think about the consequences.
The opposition would find that we are proposing a streamlining that would allow the federal government to work with the provinces, to work with first nations, to work with municipalities, to work with the private sector and individuals who have an interest, and to work through a process side by side, together, whereby all of the information can be put together. We will end up with a better result.
This is just the opposite of what the opposition members are saying is true. I wish they would take a serious look at that and come to the realization that such is the case.
Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act
Government Orders
3:10 p.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, the member needs to recognize that the government is actually using the budget debate, Bill C-38, as a back door for passing significant pieces of legislation, which is a precedent in itself.
Over 400 pages are in the budget bill, a bill that should have had 20 pages. There are well over 400 pages, of which 120 deal with the environment. This will have a profound impact on generations of Canadians during the years ahead. It should have been brought in as separate legislation. That approach would have afforded the House the opportunity to debate the legislation, take it to committee on its own, have experts from across Canada come and contribute to the debate, and then bring it back to the House for third reading. That would have been due diligence. That would have been the right way to do it.
Why has the government used a back door for so many piece of legislation that should have been brought in separately?
Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act
Government Orders
3:15 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, the member must really have very little to complain about when it comes to this legislation, because he focuses on the process, as do so many others opposite.
Quite frankly, Canadians do not care about process; what they care about is what the end result will be. What they care about is having ample time for debate, and there has been a record amount of time for debate on a budget bill.
The member is quite correct in saying that this is a substantial budget. There are a lot of really important components of the budget, but the important thing is not how we arrive at scrutinizing it and ending up with a good product; it is that everyone is involved, and sincerely involved, instead of complaining about the amount of time they have had. It is a record amount, and one member from the official opposition took 11 hours to filibuster, which would have allowed 44 members to give speeches on the budget.
Instead of complaining about process, members should get engaged, do their homework, read the bill, tie it in with other legislation and give some constructive input. That would be a much more productive way to go.

Matthew Kellway Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, that last comment from my colleague across the way about Canadians not being concerned about process is a keeper. Democracy is all about process and the opportunity for the public to engage in their political process.
However, today I take great pleasure in rising to speak to Bill C-38, the Trojan Horse bill.
My riding of Beaches—East York is an urban riding, and it is through that lens of urban reality, not exclusively but primarily, that my constituents look at Bill C-38, which is before the House today.
This is not just true of my riding. In our mind's eye this is a country of great lakes, rocky mountains, craggy coastlines and broad expanses, but about 80% of Canadians live in urban centres. We are an urban nation. This is important to recognize, because it is this reality, not some romanticized mythical or historical place, that the Conservatives have been elected to govern. However, the urban fact of this country is something not at all recognized by the government, as evidenced by this and successive budgets and this budget implementation bill. Simply speaking, cities and the urban experience do not seem to form any part of the government's understanding of our country or its citizens. Cities have been left out of this budget and this bill, as have those who live in them.
We all know by now the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' estimate of the urban infrastructure deficit. It is about $120 billion. That is an old number now, and surely an underestimate, because so little has been done to address this deficit and so few investments have been made in our cities. Another year comes, another budget comes; another year goes and another budget goes, with nothing done that can be considered remotely meaningful to address the matter.
There is no commitment to urban transit, even though many studies by many credible organizations—including the OECD, the Toronto Board of Trade in my own city and Statistics Canada—tell us that at least in Toronto, our lives are wasting away in traffic jams and on inadequate public transit. Our economy is losing billions of dollars annually in lost productivity because of that.
There is no commitment to affordable housing, even though in Toronto 70,000 households—about 200,000 people in all—wait interminably on a waiting list for affordable housing. Last week a constituent of mine, Paul Dowling, took me on a tour of 40 Oaks, a new 87-unit affordable housing project in downtown Toronto. The project has been much celebrated in the media and the community, not just because of its architectural and design features, which are wonderful and spiritual, but also because new affordable housing is so very rare. It is so hard to get built and yet of such tremendous value. It took Paul and the Toronto Christian Resource Centre eight long years and countless hours of volunteer time and fundraising to build a home for people who needed a home and a community hub for people who needed a place to be with others. There could be, should be and need to be many such buildings in our cities, but of course the current government is not a government to respond to these needs, because it is a government that creates these needs.
Blame for the state of our cities cannot be laid entirely at the feet of the government. It is following a path set out by its predecessors of both Liberal and Conservative persuasion. It has all been quantified by the OECD. Canada has the seventh-greatest level of income disparity among 29 advanced countries. The richest 1% of Canadians saw their share of total income increase by 65% from 1980 to 2007, and the richest 0.1% of Canadians saw their total income more than double over the same period, as successive Liberal and Conservative federal governments took down the very barriers we had once erected to offset income disparity.
Toronto, my city, had for a long time been known as a city of neighbourhoods. It was an apt description, at one time, of a Toronto largely made up of mixed-income neighbourhoods. In 1970, two-thirds of Toronto's neighbourhoods were middle income. In just over a generation, our city of neighbourhoods has become, as David Hulchanski describes in his "The Three Cities Within Toronto" study, "a city of disparities". The middle has been, and continues to be, hollowed out. If we continue down this path, less than 10% of our neighbourhoods will be middle income in just a decade or so.
A number of factors are responsible for what has become of Toronto. In large part, it is the result of a dramatic change in both the number and quality of jobs available to Torontonians.
Toronto has lost about 100,000 manufacturing jobs in less than a decade. The broader economic region of southern Ontario has lost about 300,000 manufacturing jobs. Many of these jobs have been lost as the result of a trade policy that establishes bilateral trade agreements with low-wage economies. The outcome, alongside the creation of a ballooning current account deficit, is the destruction of good manufacturing jobs and an expansive middle class that goes along with them. The government's commitment to pursue more vigorously such trade agreements will only hasten the decline of good jobs in Toronto and the demise of the middle class.
A recent study lays out about half of these job losses at the feet of so-called Dutch disease; that is the decline in the manufacturing sector caused by increased development of natural resources and corresponding currency escalation. This bill's savaging of environmental protections will only again hasten the demise of good jobs in Toronto and the demise of the middle class.
In place of good jobs are jobs that all too often leave workers in poverty. According to a recent Metcalf Foundation study, as of 2005, nearly one in ten workers in our city are living in poverty, but too many more cannot find work, especially Toronto's youth, with an unemployment rate creeping up on 20%.
Finally, and most offensively, it is into such a labour market the government proposes to force our seniors. With this budget, the government has at last decoded for us the Prime Minister's remarks in Switzerland in January about transforming our pension system. With Bill C-38, the government is about to implement these changes. Effective 2023, all Canadians not yet 65 years old can anticipate having to work longer before receiving their old age security and corresponding guaranteed income supplement.
As the federal budget and its implementation bill reveal, the government cannot imagine Canada as anything other than resource dependent. Most Canadians, certainly the 80% of us who live in cities, have been hoping for a different and more promising future for a long time. This lack of vision will be felt across urban Canada and in Toronto, most certainly.
There are ways to unwind the vicious spiral that has gripped our city, but our course will not change without adequate leadership from the federal government. In other G8 countries, governments have become major players in the financial, economic and cultural life of their cities. It is well past time for ours to do the same.
Canada's cities await the chance to be great. We await a federal government that finally understands that a city must be organized and its resources must be marshalled for the benefit of all of us who share the space. None of us succeed, much less thrive, as citizens of Canadian cities if we do not build cities that serve us all well. With this federal budget, we are forced to wait longer for cities and their citizens to fulfill their great potential.

Mr. Speaker, we have seen that the government does not really believe in facts and figures. The crime bill illustrates that. There has been much research that has indicated this is not the direction we should go.
We see it with this omnibus bill. The government is trying to take money away from seniors. The PBO's research and the government's own research indicate that these draconian measures are not needed for our OAS to be sustained.
The government is taking money away from seniors, yet it is putting it somewhere else. Could the hon. member highlight where the money is going?

Mr. Speaker, that is an interesting question. It is not entirely clear to me.
We certainly see a high level of hypocrisy on the issue of financial management and public administration.
I am very familiar with the F-35 file, where the government has disclosed a $15 billion life cycle cost for those planes and yet has books that claim the life cycle cost will be $20 billion. We still have not heard the actual life cycle cost, the cost of ownership.
What we find from the government is, frankly, an attack on accountability. We see attacks on the offices of auditors and on the Parliamentary Budget Officer. In fact, just about every independent agent of the House has been attacked. We have even heard attacks on the environment commissioner in recent days, since the release of his report.

They looked amazing with trousers
"I wasnt sure how I felt about these pair when I first tried on but decided to keep them because I was looking for Oxford booties for so long. They looked amazing with my power suits, especially with the business trousers.Unfortunately, after 30 or so minutes of wearing them to work, the opening of the shoes started to rub (uncomfortably) around the ankles. I even tried to wear two layers of socks to protect the skin but didnt work. Since I wore them to work, I couldnt return them. So, I bought a pair of gel-based insoles give a little lift (about 1/4 inches) and that solved the problem.Although I wouldnt wear them for a walk, not even a short walk because of my poor aging knees, they are perfect for office."

very disappointed
"I always loved the look of these shoes and I am always looking for comfortable and fashionable work shoes. Nine West is usually known to have comfortable shoes so I thought these would be a safe buy. I was sooooo wrong. These are so not comfortable. When I got them I immediately tried them on I was so excited. What girl isnt excited when she gets a shipment of shoes in the mail?! They hurt even walking in them when I was trying them on. I also have a slightly more narrow foot than most people and these were still a little narrow on me."

Very pretty Emilia

Thank you everyone.
This is a view of the Manhattan skyline from Route 3 in New Jersey. This is not my picture but is very close to my house. The view at Dawn or Dusk is beautiful-- this picture doesn't really do it justice.
The Western and Southern State is more Rural (until you start nearing Philadelphia, PA) I am kinda envious of the wilderness in a lot of your guys' photos. I'm stuck square in the middle of densest part of the densest state in the US population wise. The majority of HBO's The Sopranos was filmed all over this area (I know because I had to sit in traffic for filming a number of times) and Bravo's The Real House Wives of New Jersey all live in this area as well. So any of the scenery you see in those programs is pretty much what I wake up to.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens

"Lady Gaga Pledges to Take Bullying Case To Obama"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Lady Gaga Pldeges to Take Bullying Case To Obama
Please enter your comments below.
Why is this teen suicide worthy of so much more attention than any other one?
Would this kid's suicide be getting this much attention if he wasn't gay? Or would it be less tragic in peoples' minds, as just another kid who couldn't cope for whatever reason, a story that comes then quickly goes? What about the poor innocent 13-year old who lost both his parents last weekend just because they happened to be having dinner in the wrong place at the wrong time? Where's the national outpouring of sympathy for him? What if HE ends up committing suicide in a fit of depression over what happened to him? What celebrity will crusade for his cause? This whole thing is getting too politicized.
Gaga Politics
The Bully has been around forever. People are Bullied for all sorts of things - the way you comb your hair, your clothes, your neighborhood, your home, your family, your religion, your ethnicity - and, yes, sometimes for no reason at all. If everyone who was bullied committed suicide, the planet would be empty of human life. Dictators and politicians are bullies. The news media is a bully, especially they way they 'kill' a new story. Everyone forgets, this was a child – confused, mentally and emotionally tormented. Was he homosexual? No one will ever know, will they? But does it matter? He was a child. Still innocent and growing. I wish the public media would let the family grieve and be at peace. But the media, especially those who would use this situation as a springboard for their agenda should be ashamed of themselves. Will there ever be an end to the Bully? Unfortunately, no.
Shame on the Media (and Gaga)
How the story in the media progressed: First, it was a child 14 years old committed suicide because of bullying in Williamsville North High School. Then the story went with because he was confused and was questioning his sexuality. Then the story changedto "gay bullying'. Then it was because he WAS gay. What next? Shame on the media! He was a child barely through puberty. Confused – yes. Gay? I doubt if we will ever know. But the media already has the next headline ready for print.
A Federal issue?
Bring this to the president? Really? Is she whacked? Take a look at her.
yeah. right. blame the media.
Listen to what his parents said about his sexuality. See what he said on a video about dealing with his questions. Listen to some of the anti-gay slurs being used against him. If people were picking on him, even if THEY only thought he was gay, then to call it gay bullying or anti gay is proper. I don't think the media has gone overboard, I think that to ignore this aspect of it would be wrong. It's called context. I'm not saying that any bullying is good, but it seems like the comment above suggests that we shouldnt be mentioning the gay thing. That in itself seems a little discriminatory no? PS-- The family gave the interviews. That too is not the media using them. They felt there was an issue worth airing here.
I'll say it again
Long gone are morals, ethics, and proper communication between people these days. Bullys should think about their actions, parents should communicate morals and ethics. Politicians should have learned these lessons long ago, but continually bash one another. Nice examples??? NOT !
put it in perspective!!
This young man had poblems that went far and beyond bullying. He was a boy struggling with his identity at an age where many young people share this same issue..The bullying part came about in part because of modern day internet system which allows too many people to be allowed into ones private thought and then to comment on them, good or bad!! This should have been more of a family matter and handled by professionals and not put out on the airwaves so anyone could give an oppinion.. As far as I can see Lady GAGA has issues of her own and has no business trying to tell the President how things should be done..Another example why the internet does more harm then good!!! She sees this as a way to get more fans and puff up her already over inflated ego.. Some people want to quick blame the schools for this "bullying" problem but when do the families take any "blame" for the actions of their children...The schools can only do so much!! Hey parents limit your childs access to the social network and maybe he or she will not be bombarded with comments which are hurtful and may cause damage...This young man's death is tragic but we will never know if it could have been prevented or not. Come on all you parents step up to the plate and parent your children like you should....

Summary: Advice on DIY home improvement safety tips by home improvement professional Tom Kraeutler from The Money Pit.
TOM: Hey, it's Tom Kraeutler from the Money Pit and every week folks are calling our radio showing asking home improvement questions and our overriding concern with any project that you tackle is to make sure that you do it safely. The folks at 3M agree and have launched a safety advocacy campaign to help you do that because they want do it yourselfers to know that doing it right means doing it safely. They've got a new line of products that can help. They're called 3M Tekk Protection and I like these for a number of reasons. I think that one of the reasons that people don't use these products, typically, is because they're not comfortable or they're not functional. They've solved that and they've solved a lot of problems associated with safety products at the same time.
Let's start with this device here which is called Worktunes. What's cool about Worktunes is this protects your hearing, but it also allows you to enjoy music at the same time. Built into the Worktunes, you can listen to AM/FM radio or you can even plug in your iPod and enjoy that music while you're protecting your hearing. If you're doing something loud, like cutting the grass, you can hear music and protect your ears at the same time. Now, another project that folks do a lot of around the house, maybe sanding, you want to protect the respiration, so you want to have a NIOSH-approved respirator like this one right here. What's the main problem with products like this? Typically, when you exhale, you get a lot of heat that's very uncomfortable. What did these guys do? They invented the cool-flow valve. There is a valve in this, so that when you exhale all that warm air gets pushed quickly out of the mask, so you're not breathing it back in and making yourself very uncomfortable.
My favorite product in the Tekk Protection line are these sunglasses. This is called ForceFlex. I like these because, look, they twist like crazy. You can't really break these, but they're stylish and, of course, they're safety glass. You're going to look good while you're doing that project around the house, swinging the hammer, whatever you're doing. When you're done, you can head on off to the mall, head on out to the school, go to the post office, wherever you're running around in your car and you can use the same safety sunglasses because they look good at the same time. If you want tips on these products and a lot more, there's a great article about Tekk Protection on our website at moneypit.com.

"A People Person"
Ned R. Alger, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend died unexpectedly on June 15, 2009 in El Paso, Texas as the result of a fall while vacationing with his family in Los Cabos, Mexico. He was born on Dec. 28, 1928 in Cleveland, Utah to Carl and LaVerda Alger.
Ned loved being with family and most enjoyed meeting and getting to know everyone. As a young man growing up in Carbon County, he became involved in sports, which interest continued throughout his life. He graduated from Carbon High School in 1947.
While attending BYU on a football scholarship, he met Andrea Johnson and they were married in the Manti Temple in 1951. Shortly afterwards, he was drafted into the Army for service in the Korean War.
Upon his return, he earned his bachelor's degree and began working as a teacher and coach at Pleasant Grove High School where he won two state football championships. In 1954, he accepted a position as an assistant football coach at the University of Utah where they won the Liberty Bowl in 1964.
He continued learning, earning his doctorate degree at the "U" and took a position as an Associate Athletic Director until his retirement in 1995. Among his accomplishments were tournament director for the NCAA Final Four in 1979 and several first round and regional NCAA tournaments as well as NCAA Gymnastics meets. He has always maintained his ties to the "U," and will be a Utah Man forever!
Ned was a member of the LDS church and served in many church callings. He was Bishop of the Holladay 27th Ward, a High Councilman and served a mission with his wife Andrea at the Institute of Religions at Dixie College.
With each job, assignment, and activity, Ned took great pleasure in meeting and positively influencing others around him. If given the chance, he could always find a mutual acquaintance in 2.3 minutes. He was famous for the sandwiches he made for family and friends and will be missed by many.
He is survived by his wife Andrea, his children Suzanne (Tom) Jones, Allyson (Mark) Hanks, Nicole (Mike) Robertson; 13 grandchildren, Steve (Nicole), Griffin, Patrick Jones, Andrew (Rachel), Alex, Aaron Stoddard, Heather (Mike) Barnes, Jared, Laurel Hanks, Caitlin, Conor, Courtney, and Riley Robertson; two great-grandchildren; siblings Ruth Collins, Kirk Alger, Myrna (Jay) Rasmussen, Terry (Janet) Alger and brother-in-law, August Pollastro.
