Biotin helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, promotes nail and hair strength and supports cell growth, metabolism of fats and amino acids and the production of fatty acids. Biotin is essential in the healthy functioning of the "Krebs Cycle" in which energy is released from foods and transferred to the body for use."Less Is More" No pills to swallow Place on or under the tongue Dissolves immediately on contact Preservative free Superior Source's Instant Dissolve MicroLingual tablets may be small but they are full potency! Typical tablets and capsules need to be swallowed and are inefficiently absorbed in the digestive system. MicroLingual tablets dissolve immediately under the tongue heading straight into the body. Their proprietary hydrodrying process results in fewer inactive binders and fillers and a higher ratio of nutritional ingredients - hence the small size. They efficiently provide your body with the nutrients you need now! The MicroLingual Difference 38% of all Americans prefer not to swallow pills Many dietary supplements taken orally pass straight through the digestive system Only Superior Source soft-molded MicroLingual tablets dissolve instantly under the tongue Compressed tablets require binders to hold them together. These needless fillers and excipients leave less room for the active ingredients essential for the effectiveness of dietary supplements. That ultimately means consumers have to take more tablets (or swallow a larger pill) to get the same effectiveness found in a Superior Source MicroLingual vitamin tablet. Their soft molded MicroLingual vitamin tablets contain no excipients and rely on a small amount of acacia gum to hold them together. This results in a much more concentrated natural product about a tenth the size and weight of an equivalent standard swallowed vitamin tablet. Superior Source Questions & AnswersAre Their Products Organic?Their products are not organic. Organic Dietary Supplements are made in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations. In the United States, organic production is a system that is managed in accordance with teh Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) of 1990 and regulations in Title 7, Part 205 of the Code of Federal Regulations to respond to site-specific conditions by integrating cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling or resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.Why Is There So Much Powder At The Bottom Of The Bottle? Why Do The Tablets Look So Misshapen, Crumbly, or Falling Apart?Because of a special process which allows the tablet to dissolve so fast, they are soft and easy to crumble. They add extra tablets to each bottle to allow for this.Can No Shot B-12 Be Used In Place Of An Injection?No. You must consult your physician. B-12 is a nutritional supplement only. Not a drug.What Is The Difference Between Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin?Methylcobalamin is a type of Vitamin B-12 that is already in the activated form (ready to be used by the body). Vitamin B-12 comes in several kinds including methyl-, cyano-, and adenosyl-, but only the methyl form is used in the central nervous system. Cyanocobalamin (the common type found in most vitamin supplements) is converted by the liver into methylcobalamin – the methylcobalamin B-12 does not need to be converted by the liver. A small percentage of people have a problem with their liver's ability to convert B-12 from the cyano form to the methyl form – for these people the methylcobalamin form is essential.Does The B-12 Fall Under Vegetarian Or Vegan?The B-12's are a type of vegetarian but not vegan. The reason it is not vegan is because it contains lactose, which is derived from milk.Why Is Your B-12 Colored Red And Other Companies Sublingual B-12's Are Not?Red is the natural color of Vitamin B-12. Because their micro tabs are so small, the tablet takes on the red color of B-12. Other manufacturers of B-12 lozenges are so much larger than theirs, so the fillers and binders in those products dilute the natural red color. In addition, some of these lozenges have a thin coating which covers the color of the tablet.Are Their Products (Gluten, Corn, Wheat, Animal, Etc...) Free?Superior Souce makes no claims, nor do they represent that their products are free of any ingredient.

Virgin Australia unveils new stylish cabin interior for Boeing 777 fleet12/04/2012
Virgin Australia has revealed the stylish new design and interior refresh of the Boeing 777 fleet of aircraft.
The Boeing 777 re-design will bring a fresh and contemporary new look to the fleet, consistent with that across the Virgin Australia domestic network.
The 777 cabin interior will undergo a complete re-design of seat fabrics, carpets and curtain dividers. Seats across Business, Premium Economy and Economy have been updated for even more comfort with extra padding, new fabrics and headrests throughout the aircraft.
Led by Virgin Australia's Creative Director, Hans Hulsbosch, the new designs are inspired by the ceiling and flooring "leaf" designs in the Virgin Australia lounges, and have been created exclusively for the 777 fleet. The design and colour palette creates a strong brand connection across the Virgin Australia journey.
Virgin Australia Group Executive of Product and Guest Services, Martin Daley said the redesigned international fleet would deliver exceptional style and comfort for guests along with a fresh and contemporary look and feel renowned across Virgin Australia domestic aircraft.
"Virgin Australia's cabin refresh of the Boeing 777 has been designed by experts in their fields. The redesign provides guests with a fresh interior, plus the comfort and style found across all our aircraft, whilst maintaining the service and inflight experience suited to all guests," Mr Daley said.
CABIN REFRESH FEATURES on the 777 INCLUDE:
- Newly designed custom fabric covers for Business, Premium Economy and Economy Seats
- Fabrics manufactured by world renowned fabric manufacturers Rohi, in Munich, Germany.
- All seat covers feature enhanced cushioning for extra comfort
- Newly designed Curtain dividers
- New carpet throughout cabin
The first Boeing 777 with the cabin redesign will be in service from April 12, with the remainder of the fleet rolling out with the refresh throughout the rest of the year.

Does Mandatory IFRS Adoption Improve the Information Environment?
Joanne Horton
University of Exeter Business School
George Serafeim
Harvard University - Harvard Business School
Ioanna Serafeim
Capital Market Commission
Contemporary Accounting Research, Vol. 30, No. 1: 388-423.
More than 120 countries require or permit the use of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') by publicly listed companies on the basis of higher information quality and accounting comparability from IFRS application. However, the empirical evidence about these presumed benefits are often conflicting and fail to separate between information quality and comparability. In this paper we examine the effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on firms' information environment. We find that after mandatory IFRS adoption consensus forecast errors decrease for firms that mandatorily adopt IFRS relative to forecast errors of other firms. We also find decreasing forecast errors for voluntary adopters, but this effect is smaller and not robust. Moreover, we show that the magnitude of the forecast errors decrease is associated with the firm-specific differences between local GAAP and IFRS. This finding suggests that it is IFRS adoption rather than a correlated unobservable factor that is causing forecast errors to decrease. Exploiting individual analyst level data and isolating settings where analysts would benefit more from either increased comparability or higher quality information, we document that the improvement in the information environment is driven both by information and comparability effects. These results suggest that mandatory IFRS adoption has improved the quality of information intermediation in capital markets and as a result firms' information environment by increasing both information quality and accounting comparability.

Oh damn, didn't see this coming, since F.Rogue's Magic to control Dragons was supposed to be flawless (not counting Acnologia since he was once a human), yet it is so easy to break. I guess power of Heart, always triumphed over any kind of Magic within FT.
There's something that bothered me and it was mentioned in this chapter. Natsu calls Igneel his father...but honestly I know he isn't...he wasn't born from a dragon egg that's for sure. So the question is Who and where are Natsus's real parents?
We were no told about Natsu's biological parents, only that Igneel raised him and taught him DS magic. Natsu is Igneel's Foster son. Obviously Natsu didn't just start eating Magic and Flames simply by virtue of being adopted.
Natsu probably already had naturally strong/high affinity/capacity for magic that could be molded to DS Magic.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

"I ordered these for my super picky husband b/c his current pair were wearing out. He thinks these are the most comfortable shoes ever with the memory foam sole but they were too narrow for him. I guess his current pair were wide but these were just average so they were to tight for him. I am having to send them back in exchange for a different shoe entirely b/c these aren't available in wide in his size on this site but we did find a pair he liked to switch them for. Still waiting on those. Overall, these shoes are great if you can get the proper fit."

The choice is famously vast. Théâtre du Châtelet and the national theatres are a few of the best-known ones, but don't miss the smaller gems – or the choice of plays to elate a more junior audience. And the museums ? The Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Centre Pompidou and Musée des Arts Premiers are a few of the obvious choices, but don't miss Victor Hugo's house, Musée Balzac, the Musée d'Art Moderne, the famous Catacombes, or the 10 other City of Paris museums .
The entrance to all permanent collections of the municipal museums is free for the public. Only temporary exhibitions, archeologic crypt and Catacombes are charged.
100 years after the Armenian genocide, an exhibition at Paris City Hall takes a look back at this turning point in the history of the twentieth century.
Any style, any size. Châtelet, the Théâtre de la Ville and the Maison de la Poésie are only three examples.
The Louvre's thousand halls, 19th-century and Impressionist treasures in the Musée d'Orsay, and the modern-art mecca in the Centre Pompidou are perhaps the three best-known national attractions. But there are countless other enthralling well-kept secrets here (a military museum, a popular traditions and crafts museum, a museum about Montmartre, and more). And of course the 14 City of Paris museums (including Victor Hugo's house, Musée Balzac, the Musée d'Art Moderne, and the famous Catacombes).

Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco concluded the SEC tournament with 508 career victories with the Rebels, the school's all-time leader.
He reached No. 500 at Tennessee on April 21.
As you can see in the list below, it was an early March game against Lipscomb – when Bianco became the winningest coach in Ole Miss history – that means a little more to him.
Bianco coached three seasons at McNeese State where he won another 100 games before taking the Ole Miss job.
The Rebels are 37-22 overall, finished 15-15 in SEC regular season play and appear to be a lock for an NCAA regional, which would be their 11th in Bianco's 13 seasons as coach.
He's 508-299-1 at Ole Miss, 608-371-1 overall. He failed to reach an NCAA regional in 2002 and 2011.
Last year the Rebels defeated No. 1 seed Texas A&M on the road – No. 9 on his list – before falling twice to TCU.

Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am glad I heard the member talk about the funding increases that are needed, but he also indicated that the government will continue to review the recommendations. We need action and not reviews all the time. We have studies, national panels and reports, but no action. It is about time.
I would like my colleague to comment on the fact that when we look at the joint panel's recommendations on first nations education, the AFN estimates that the average annual increase required since 1996 was 6.3% and that the cumulative blending shortfall since that time has been almost $1.2 billion. Here I would point out that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples states:
Indigenous individuals, particularly children, have the right to all levels and forms of education of the State without discrimination.
Principle 10 states:
The child shall be protected from practices which may foster racial, religious and any other form of discrimination.
My question to my colleague is this. Does he not think that the current funding shortfall is discriminatory to first nations children?

Mr. Speaker, clearly the hon. member did not listen to the speech I just gave, in which I outlined efforts that have been undertaken by this government in successive budgets to address the challenges of first nations schools. Budget 2008 and budget 2010, and the budgets in-between, allocated significant amounts of funds to address the concerns that she just outlined. We have tripartite agreements that are seeing major changes in the way in which education is assured for first nations, in the same way it is guaranteed for all other students.
I am thankful that the member asked the question. Unfortunately, I am not certain that she heard the speech and I will therefore make every effort to have the speech delivered to her office.

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to speak to this very important motion. I will be splitting my time.
I want to acknowledge the good work that has been done by the member for Manicouagan and the member for Edmonton—Strathcona. I particularly want to thank Shannen Koostachin's family for allowing their daughter's name to stand in this place and honour the work that Shannen did in her very short life.
There are a couple of other people I want to recognize specifically as well, because I will also speak about Jordan's principle. I want to acknowledge the family of Jordan River Anderson and the Norway House Cree Nation.
Back in 2007 I had the honour to stand in the House and move Motion No. M-296:
That, in the opinion of the House, the government should immediately adopt a child-first principle, based on Jordan's principles, to resolve jurisdictional disputes involving the care of first nations children.
I must point out to the House, because many of the members here were not in the House in 2007, that the motion passed unanimously in this House of Commons. All parties supported that motion. What was said in that motion essentially was that we would put children first.
While I acknowledge the member for Manicouagan for moving the motion, here we today debating a motion that still talks about the fact that first nations children have substandard education in this country. I want to refer to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Article 14(2) reads:
Indigenous individuals, particularly children, have the right to all levels and forms of education of the State without discrimination.
Nonetheless, many here today have spoken very ably about the fact that first nations children in this country are often in facilities that are so substandard that we cannot even begin to list all of the deficiencies, whether doors that do not close; or children having to wear jackets, mitts and coats in the middle of the winter because there is insufficient heat; or children who do not have text books. The list is appalling.
What happens in some of these communities is a repetition of the residential schools all over again, because those children, in order to get an adequate education, must leave their communities and go somewhere else. The elders are saying that its feels like the residential schools, because once again their children are being removed from their communities, even if voluntarily, to get their education.
Surely in 2012, with all of the technology and resources we have available in this country, we should be able to provide those children with an equitable education that is culturally relevant, that respects their languages and traditions. Here we are in 2012, once again having to talk about this.
The member for Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing rightly pointed out the studies we have done. We could probably paper this chamber with the studies that have been done, and still we have children with substandard education in this country, first nations children, Inuit children. When will it change?
The government talks about productivity. It talks about skills shortages. From meeting with first nations leaders from coast to coast to coast, what they are saying to us is, "We have the children. Educate them. They could be part of that work force. We want to take our place in the economy of this country. Give us the tools to do that".
It gets worse. Because we cannot get justice in this country, organizations are forced to go to UN bodies to talk about the state of education in this country. I want to refer to a briefing called "Our Dreams Matter too: First Nations children's rights, lives and education", a self-described alternate report from the Shannen's dream campaign to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child on the occasion of Canada's third and fourth periodic reviews. Of course, I do not have time to read the whole brief, but I want to touch on two recommendations. In the preamble it says:
Inspired by our friend Shannen Koostachin, we respectfully ask the Committee to hear our voices and stand with us as we demand that the Government of Canada (INAC) respects our rights and honours its obligations to First Nations children, youth and communities. We are growing up right now and we cannot wait for the Government to decide to do the right thing.
One of the recommendations refers to Jordan's principle:
Make sure Canada implements "Jordan's Principle" across all Government services provided to First Nations children and youth. This would prevent us from receiving inequitable levels of service, experiencing excessive wait times and being denied urgent medical and other needed care simply because the provincial and federal governments can't figure out who should pay for the service.
This is in the voices of the children in this country.
It is not just members of first nations who are talking about Jordan's principle. The Auditor General, in her May 2008 report, talked about how first nations child and family services reflected the inequities in this country in terms of adequate child welfare services on reserve. She pointed out that Jordan's principle put first nations children first. She said:
However, in our view, a dispute-resolution mechanism will not work in the presence of irreconcilable differences and without a change in funding authorities. Such difficulties need to be resolved if this proposal is to result in better and timelier services to First Nations children.
I want to refer to fighting the good fight, Jordan's principle. This outlines the background and talks about what has happened so far.
Many first nations children are caught in payment disputes within or between the federal and provincial governments. This can have a significant impact on their access to essential medical and health services.
As a little aside, not only is it between federal and provincial governments, but we also understand it is between federal government departments. Health Canada will say that it is not its responsibility. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada will say that it is not its responsibility. Those two departments of government point the finger at each other while children once again wait for care.
It is not just complex medical needs. That is why I am invoking Jordan's principle in the context of education. First nations children should not be treated differently in terms of access to quality education.
Back to fighting the good fight. Several organizations and individuals have fought the good fight to change this.
In December 2007, Jordan's principle was adopted in the House of Commons. This child-first principle says that when a dispute arises between the two government parties regarding payment for services for a status Indian child, the government of first contact must pay for services without delay or disruption.
This principle was named in honour of Jordan River Anderson, a child from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba, who was born with complex medical needs. He spent over two years unnecessarily in hospital because the federal and provincial governments could not agree on who should pay for his care in a specialized foster home in his community.
Jordan passed away having spent his whole life in hospital. That is a crime in this country. It is even worse. Jordan River Anderson's family had to surrender him to provincial care because the federal government would not pay for his care in his community.
First of all, Jordan spent two years in hospital being stabilized, getting to the level where he could go into a specialized foster home. At that age, when he could have gone into a family home and received the love and support of a family environment, the federal and provincial governments said, "It is not my job to pay for this. It is somebody else's responsibility." Jordan spent the next two years in hospital. Then he passed away. All it would have taken was one level of government to step up to the plate and say "We will pay for this child's care, and we will fight about the money later." That did not happen.
Canadians across this country should be outraged that we allow children, first nations, Métis and Inuit children, to be subject to that kind of care in this country in this day and age.
Sadly, since 2007, there has not been the kind of action that one would presume would happen when a unanimous motion is passed in this House of Commons. One would expect members from all parties to say, "We agree, first nations children should be put first in this country. We will pony up the money and fight about who pays later."
That has not happened. Five years later, that has not happened. I urge all members in this House to stand up and support Shannen's dream as a statement that we believe in equality for first nations children, Métis children and Inuit children across this country.

Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her very passionate speech. Certainly she has displayed to the House that she has a lot of experience meeting with the individual groups. She certainly has more experience than I do. She points out, seemingly quite rightly, how many people, like Shannen, get lost in a myriad of jurisdictional conundrum. In this case it was a jurisdictional disaster because someone perished. The situation just keeps proliferating.
What should we bring to the table? The money needs to go to the right people. How do we get in there and tell the jurisdictions to get their act together? From all the meetings that she has been to, and the people she has spoken to, what is the common thread about how to fix a problem like this?

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, Jordan's principle outlines exactly what needs to happen. It is very simple. Whoever comes in contact with that child and that child's family first, be it provincial, federal, Health Canada, or Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, pays. While the child gets the service that he or she needs, whether it is education, adequate housing or health care, the arguments about that payment can be taken off the table. They can fight about who is going to pay later, behind the scenes, in their boardrooms. Children have to come first. They can fight about the money later. It is simple.

Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her heartfelt presentation. I admire the work that she did formerly in the aboriginal affairs portfolio. I know she is an incredible representative of her communities.
As the member is well aware, the trials and tribulations of children just trying to get access to decent education has actually led to suicides. Calls for greater action by the federal government to invest in education are now coming from coroners. In the community of Pikangikum, the coroner's report actually recommended specifically that there be greater attention to basic services, including quality education facilities for children. We are seeing that in reports out of Nunavut. We are seeing delays in the delivery of obligations under its land claims and treaties.
Could the member address this issue of the implications of not investing in aboriginal children?

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Edmonton--Strathcona for her very good work as the aboriginal affairs critic for the NDP. As she and I have said, it is a very complex file. Part of our challenge as a country is to recognize nation-to-nation status, with first nations and the Government of Canada.
The member asked the question about the profound implications of not providing education. I have told the story many times. My very first official duty as a member of Parliament in 2004, on July 1, was to attend a funeral for a first nations youth who took his own life.
I am blessed to live on the Cowichan people's traditional territories. Many of the elders and other community members work hard to provide education to their young people, so they can take their rightful place in society. However, what we see time after time is a first nations school on reserve, a very good school where they are teaching the Hul'q'umi'num language. The elders are participating in the classroom and they are instilling the cultural values and values of family in their young children. However, they simply do not have the level of funding of the other schools, right next door.
How can that happen? This is not in a rural area, this is on southern Vancouver Island. There are children half a kilometre away, who do not have the same access to funding. How does that happen in this country? I think that is a question we have to ask ourselves.

Mylène Freeman Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, the value of a good education is immeasurable. A poor or inadequate education, on the other hand, can have serious repercussions on the rest of one's life and for future generations.
Unfortunately, first nations communities are all too familiar with the difference between a good education and a bad one. As a society, we must recognize that education is more than simply acquiring knowledge and academic skills. Education plays a major role in socialization. The teacher is a role model for students, inspiring and supporting them. Receiving positive socialization tools early on in life allows people to enjoy not only economic prosperity, but also physical, psychological and social health.
However, even after the Prime Minister's official apology regarding residential schools, first nations education remains insubstantial and inadequate. This is due to the lack of funding and coordination between the various federal, provincial, territorial and other partners. The direct result of this is that education is too often harmful for young aboriginals, their parents and future generations.
Despite the government's commitments, which may seem plentiful, the political will to take concrete action is simply missing.
Recommendations like those in Shannen's dream deserve immediate action by this government. Aboriginal people are fed up with studies conducted by a government that does not walk the walk. The Standing Committee on the Status of Women has witnessed just how fed up aboriginal women are with this government's inaction.
I have seen the same discontent in my riding, among the Mohawks of Kanesatake. There are too many delays, too many broken promises. The government knows what the problems are in relation to first nations education. The government knows exactly why 59% of aboriginal people aged 15 and over who live on reserves have not finished high school.
As stated by the report of the national panel on first nation elementary and secondary education for students on reserve:
First Nation students are not failing. Rather, we are failing students through the impact of legislative provisions that are more than one hundred years old and linked to a period that we now accept as deeply harmful and destructive—the residential school era.
I see my time is about to expire. I will therefore continue after question period.

Parm Gill Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, inspiring our communities to make healthy lifestyle choices is something we should all strive for. This is why we launched a healthy community challenge in Brampton—Springdale last month. My personal goal was to lose 15 pounds. As members may be able to see, it was a huge success. The support and involvement of the community was incredibly motivating.
As part of CBC's Live Right Now campaign, we joined the Champions for Change group in Brampton, led by four very inspirational individuals. Margaret Wallis-Duffy, Jennifer Thomas, Pamela Moore and Dr. Ed Cambridge were the forces behind our city's continued success in this national challenge.
I congratulate all Bramptonians for being awarded 500 spirit points by CBC's Live Right Now program for their passion and determination to be crowned the Live Right Now capital of Canada which will be announced on April 13.
I want to congratulate all Bramptonians on their participation.
InnuRassemble Project
Statements By Members

Jonathan Genest-Jourdain Manicouagan, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to acknowledge the exceptional work that the Polyvalente des Baies high school in Baie-Comeau is doing in our community. This high school won the Essor provincial grand prize for its InnuRassemble project at the Essor recognition gala held on Saturday night in Rimouski. The InnuRassemble project, which brings young people from both cultures together through the arts, was carried out in partnership with the Estuaire school board, the Uashkaikan secondary school in Pessamit and the Baie-Comeau centre for the arts.
This project is unique to Quebec and got off the ground in 2010 with the Théâtre Le Clou, which won the Baie-Comeau centre for the arts the Rideau award. The project was centred on creating a song. It allowed 600 young people from Baie-Comeau and Pessamit, which are 50 km apart, to attend workshops together and see shows by Chloé Sainte-Marie and the singer Samian, who performed a song called Parle-moi that was written by young people from the two communities.
This type of initiative illustrates the true willingness of the Innu and Quebec communities to come together, as we have seen in the riding of Manicouagan.
Government Contracts
Statements By Members

Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I commend the government for the transparent and competitive process by which the recent defence contracts have been awarded. It gives taxpayers value for their money by selecting the best company for the job. This month, the contract to refit the HMCS Athabaskan was given to Seaway Marine & Industrial in St. Catharines.
This contract, through a fair and competitive process, has proven that shipyards in Ontario are among the best in Canada. This contract ensures 226 skilled workers are recalled at the Port Weller dry docks and it will create 117 new jobs. This contract shows Ontario has the skills and expertise to build on our proud history of providing equipment to support the men and women of the Royal Canadian Navy.
Finally, this contract is proof that the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway will always be part of our country's shipping industry.
St. Catharines and Niagara are ready to compete, to participate and to ensure that the Canadian economy grows, one new worker at a time.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
February 16th, 2012 / 2 p.m.
Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, 45 years ago today, the Liberal prime minister, Lester Pearson, officially established the Royal Commission on the Status of Women based on the notion of equal opportunity. Florence Bird served as the chair of the commission and Monique Bégin as the executive secretary.
Over the next 10 months, the royal commission heard from Canadians from across the country and stimulated public consciousness of the real barriers to equality. It also gave a platform for women's voices to be heard and its groundbreaking recommendations on child care, pay equity and prohibiting gender and marital status as grounds for discrimination continue to be relevant today.
As we reflect on this historic anniversary, we should remember that much work remains to be done to achieve full equality of opportunity.
Under the Conservative government, the right to equal pay for work of equal value has been eroded, access to affordable child care remains elusive, the gender gap has grown and the long gun registry, which reduced cases of violence against women, has been abolished.
Even here in Parliament the advancement of women's rights has been challenged by the shameful efforts of Conservative members to force the status of women committee to work in secret. Since June, 38% of the committee's meetings have been behind closed doors. The late Doris Anderson would have been appalled.

Bryan Hayes Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House with the pleasure of congratulating Team Jacobs from the Soo Curlers Association in Sault Ste. Marie.
Soo Curlers hosted the Dominion 2012 Northern Ontario Men's Curling Championship from February 4-11.
On February 10 in my riding, Team Jacobs scored a very rare eight-ender in the sixth end of the semi-final against Team Phillips. Jacobs had been leading 6-3 at the time and had the hammer, with the eight rocks in the ring forcing an early handshake.
The final game against Team Jakubo ended in a 9-2 score and gave Team Jacobs the Northern Ontario Championship title for the third year in a row.
Brad Jacobs and his teammates, E.J. Harnden, Ryan Harnden and Scott Seabrook, now prepare for the Brier that is set to take place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from March 3-11. I boldly predict that Team Jacobs will win this year's Brier.
Hurry hard, Team Jacobs.
Firearms Registry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Alain Giguère Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
Mr. Speaker, I will not deny that the debate on the firearms registry was very emotional for me. For that reason, I would like to remind members of the names of the victims of the Polytechnique massacre: Geneviève Bergeron, Nathalie Croteau, Anne-Marie Edward, Maryse Laganière, Anne-Marie Lemay, Michèle Richard, Annie Turcotte, Hélène Colgan, Barbara Daigneault, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Leclair, Sonia Pelletier, Annie St-Arneault and Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz.
It is unfortunate that I was unable to convince the other members of the House not to abolish the firearms registry, but I challenge each and every one of them to find a hunter or a farmer who has suffered greater harm because of firearms than these young women.

Anyone who has ever touched a computer knows that they are so enshrouded in technical jargon that even technology experts often get confused.
To make them even more confusing, while some of the jargon sounds exactly the same, some words refer to different things, depending on how they are spelled.
For example, take the word disk. Or is it disc? Both spellings are very common in the computing world.
One could assume that one is just a common mis-spelling. Controversely, one could assume that both spellings are correct and are completely interchangeable.
Both of those assumptions would actually be wrong.
The fact is, the word "disk" is usually indicative of magnetic storage devices - things like floppy disks, hard disk drives, and so on.
The word "disk" is also used in conjunction with Flash-driven storage devices, like camera cards and portable USB drives.
In contrast, the word "disc" is generally used with optical storage media like CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs.

Comments: I had this Tourna stringmeter for around 2 weeks before it dropped on the floor one night and
came apart. The spring came loose from the mechanism and I couldn't get it back together. Very delicate it seems.
From: Ricky, 3/16
Comments: I have had this equipment for over a year now and thought about chiming in. I basically have to
with Brandon's comments. While it may not give you the exact tension on the string bed, it does tell you relatively how
tension you are losing over a period of time. Bottom line is it is a great tool to have in the bag.
From: Hari, 3/14
Comments: I purchased a stringing machine last summer so that I could restring my children's racquets (they
competitive tennis). The string meter is an invaluable tool to measure tension loss. I record the tension measured
after I string their racquets and check the tension every week or so. If there has been a drop in measured tension of at least
will restring. On a couple of occasions my daughter has told me that she feels that she has less control of her
grounstrokes. Sure
enough when I have checked the tension, there was a substantial drop that required me to restring. As long as you realize
this string meter does not measure actual tension you will come to understand its true purpose and it will be an integral
part of a
competitive tennis player's tools.
From: Tammy, Coral Springs, FL, USA. 4/10
Comments: Very happy with the Stringmeter purchase. It appears to be relatively accurate as I strung my
racquet at
55 lbs and the stringmeter read 54lbs. That said, I know that it is supposed to be used as a "relative" guideline reference
tool and
I would emphasize that the purchaser should read AND understand the directions on how to use the tool . The directions
pretty clear , but you need to use the tool once to understand how it works. Easy to use after that. Also you can test your
stringing machine for clamp slippage with this tool. It seems well made.
From: Ron, Gig Harbor, Wa. 1/10
Comments: This product is very cool. I string my own racquets and I like to know how well my string job is.
This is
perfect to let me know if I did a consistent job or did something wrong along the way. Its helping me become a better
stringer. I
also play with Poly and do not break them very often so it helps me to know when they have lost too much tension.
From: Rick, Columbia, SC, USA. 10/09
Comments: I had this little gizmo for about 2 years. It is worthless! Yes, you can check the tension
after stringing, BUT what does it mean? Well you can check to see if your stringing job was good in that your individual
mains are
closely the same, but it does not give you an accurate reading of real tension. A friend, who is also a sringer, has a
and using mine and his,(at the same time on the same racquet) there is a difference of 10 to 12 lbs. So I guess if you want
know on a given racquet what tension loss there has been, you might know if you tensioned and recorded the tension right
the stringing, but it would only be relative to that stringing and that racquet. Save your money!
From: Steve, Corunna, MI.,USA. 8/09
Comments: Reading the commentaries, I think it should be noted that all strings lose a significant amount of
tension within the first hour after being strung. Thereafter, string tension will stabilize. Natural gut loses the least amount of
tension--making it an obvious favorite for years. If you are interested in understanding the particular losses of tension for
particular string family, gut, polyester, multi-filament, etc., a wonderful resource is the book, Technical Tennis.
From: Tim, New York, USA. 3/06
Comments: The greatest value of this tool is to measure how good of a string
job you're getting from your stringer. Depending on the type of machine your stringer is
using (Drop weight, Constant Tension, etc.) you may get significantly different readings from
different stringing machines even though you requested the same tension. As an earlier
person said, the readings on the middle mains should be very close to what you requested.
However, as you move to the outer mains the tension drops off (sometimes significantly - 20
lbs.) However, some people claim this isn't a problem because of proportional stringing -
the amount of flex the string exhibits for a short main compared to a longer main. At any rate,
look for consistency from side to side as the mains move to the outer part of the racquet.
From: Scott, Atlanta, GA, USA 03/06
Comments: If you research this product through the manufacturer, you will
discover that it was not
designed to tell you exactly what the tension is. It is actually designed to help you keep track
of tension
maintenance between stringing. It does what is designed for and is an invaluable tool. I am
sure many of you
have thought that your stringer or stringing machine may be inaccurate after using this
product. Don't freak
because this product was not intended to give you exact tension feedback, it simply allows
you to see change.
From: Brandon, Columbia, SC, USA. 12/05
Comments: I just bought this item. Looks like my strings have over 20lbs less
tension that I was led
to believe (at
35lbs!). Awful. Does anyone know the best type of stringer/machine to use for the most
accurate tensioning
without loss?
I'm considering doing my own from now on. (Please note that the Stringmeter measures
actual tension, not
the tension the
racquet was strung which is called reference tension. A 20lbs difference is not uncommon -
TW Staff)
From: Karl, Manchester, UK. 10/05
Comments: This is one tool every stringer should not do with out. It is a great
tool to check your
through out the stringbed. I use a Klippermate, and the stringmeter shows that such low
budget drop weight
stringer can be just
as consistent as stringing on a higher pro stringer. I highly recommend this great tool.
From: Gus, Burbank, CA, USA
Comments: I have had this product for almost a year now, and at first it reads
tension VERY accurately, but now the spring that does the measuring effect started to get
loose. I am not a stringer or somebody that strings a lot of racquets, only a couple a month,
and I don't think the durability of this product is that good. The instructions aren't very easy to
understand either. It is better if you figure how to use without the instructions.
From: Tomas, Alexandria, Virginia, USA. 09/04
Comments: First of all it was much lighter and smaller than I thought- it's a little
smaller than the palm of my hand. It measures tension very accurately. The readings do
change from main to main but the mains closest to the center seem to be the most
important ones to measure, and only differ by a couple of lbs. Very easy to use and I'm very
happy with it. A must buy for people wanting to monitor tension loss!

Mount Garfield Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|From the southeast
Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2016
|Nine hours and forty minutes to the summit starting from Lincoln Woods, after climbing Owl's Head first. It ended up being a twelve hour day once I ended at the Galehead Hut because the cold I had was kicking my ass at the end of a nineteen mile day.
|Posted Jun 17, 2016 7:51 pm
|Very Enjoyable
Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2014
|Trail was very nice, especially closer to the summit. Great view from the top.

|Nice component of the Pemi Loop
Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2014
|I bagged this peak as part of a 1.5 day Pemi Loop trip where I bagged 10 4K summits in all (plus a few that didn't count). The weather was incredible, but the ridge line was bone dry and had I been smart I would have refilled my water at Liberty Spring because I was desperate by the time I was coming off Garfield. at the end of a good day, Garfield kicked my butt like the Presi's do because of bolder-laden trail that provides to relief! I was partly dehydrated at this point and desperate to bag the peak and get to my campsite but the views were wonderful here ... if only one of the other people on the summit weren't smoking a stogie and ruining our nature experience. My favorites of them all were West Bond and Bond Cliff where solitude abounded and the stark beauty of the ledges around the summits made for great places to quietly sit and appreciate what God has made for us to experience if we just step out of our comfort zone a bit.

Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2014
|The end of our 2nd day on the AT. We hit this peak right before staying the night at the Garfield campsite. The rain had just started on our way from Mt. Lafayette and we got limited views from the top. This was peak #5 on our 5-day trip.

|This is where the loop started getting rugged. We were now hiking at night and were in a full blown snowstorm by summit time. We saw the peak all day as we approached,but couldnt get there in time for a summit sunset and the storm just raised our adrenaline levels.Will have to make a return trip on a better day

|Awesome finish to a fine traverse from Flume over to Garfield. I really enjoyed the beautiful rock right at the summit of Garfield. It made me boulder for well over an hour enjoying the beautiful sunny weather and great traverse I had just accomplished.
I ran into a couple guys who had just finished a Peace Corps assignment on the summit. They were going across the country by motorcycle. I hung out with them that night before my aunt came to pick me up.

|Did a Pemi Loop over 2.5 days with a couple of friends. Going counter clockwise, camped at Guyot and Garfield tent sites. Saw an awesome lightning over a town to the north storm from Garfield; got hailed on in a lightning storm on the way out on the last day. Had a bottle of Bowmore with us.
The waterfall is fun, but a bit demoralizing at the end of a long day!

|I hiked up to the Garfield Ridge tentsite from the Garfield Ridge Trail (I stayed at the Guyot tentsite the night before). I literally had to hoist my dog up a waterfall prior to reaching the spring. This was fun, believe it or not. I stayed the night at Garfield Ridge tentsite and woke up early the next morning to summit Garfield. No one else was there, and the views of Lincoln and Lafayette were amazing. A burly mountain, but worth it.

|Example of an easy trail providing thrilling hiking. Flooded river crossings, improptu waterfalls careening down the mountainside all make for a great hike...when you get out.

|Wettest Day Ever
Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2010
|With Flanders via the Garfield Trail. Decided to do this one on a rainy day since we've already done everything else in this range and figured we could sacrifice the views. Not raining when we started but muggy. About half an hour in, it started raining. It never ended and only got heavier. By the time we got near the summit, we were soaked and the trails were starting to look like streams. The summit was viewless and really windy. Had to do a wet hug of the rock to get up to the old foundation at the summit. Spent all of about 5 seconds there before heading back down. On the way down, the trails that had become streams were all waterfalls. We walked back down in about 6-8 inches of water, soaked from our toenails to the tops of our heads. The "brook" crossing near the bottom was now 4 upper thigh high whitewater crossings. If it had been any higher, I don't think we could have held against the force of the water. We had to search up and down the banks for "safe" places to cross. Was quite the adventure.
When we got back to the car, we headed back to our campsite on the Pemigewasset River. We broke down camp with about 20 minutes to spare before it was overrun and flooded by the river. Otherwise our tents would have been lost along with my suitcase and gear I had not taken. After doing this and seeing the forecast, we decided to get out of Dodge and drove back to Massachusetts to wait out the tropical storm that had come up from Florida before doing some more peaks down there.

text: I hope they manage to screen out all the glitches before they release it this time... Also, maybe they'll actually make a two-player mode where we get to use our character instead of a henchman. And the villain wouldn't have been so bad if they'd have given us a decent boss fight at the end instead of an interactive movie, lmao. I agree with the family thing though, I wish they would have done it like they originally intended to, with your child becoming playable if you died.

Rothco Desert Sand Combat Shirt
Looking for a good alternative to the more expensive combat shirts? Then take a look at the desert sand combat shirt from Rothco. This military inspired combat shirt is the perfect choice for milsim airsoft or paintball. There are several companies that make combat shirts such as Tru-Spec, 5.11 Tactical and Propper that are more expensive. This version from Rothco is an excellent value alternative.
If you are looking for a comfortable long sleeve combat shirt for your next mission, be it for the local Police Department, SWAT Team or for your next paintball tournament, this desert sand combat shirt allows you to move freely and keep the moisture away from your body. The combat shirt is manufactured with a blend of 50% Nylon & 50% Cotton on the sleeves and extends over the upper back. Made of 40% Acrylic and 60% Cotton on the chest and back for a soft and comfortable fit. The body of the shirt is stretchy and will accomodate various body types. The shirt is constructed with melting and drip resistant material making it moisture wicking and very lightweight and breathable. The melting point for this desert sand combat shirt is rated at 230 degrees Fahrenheit per the manufacturer. Additional features of this men's long sleeve shirt are the zippered sleeve storage pockets which could accomodate a small first aid kit. The mock turtle neck does not have a zipper. There are anti abrasion padded elbow patches, gusseted sleeves, glint tape holder for IR tape and loop (velcro) on sleeve pockets for attaching unit paches, morale patches, rank and flag patches.
Some of our customers have stated that they think the shirt runs one size big. Some reviews on the internet also state that say the shirt runs large. Obviously fit is a personal preference, so take that into consideration when selecting your size. The chest and back material allow you to wear a vest or chest rig quite comfortably. As opposed to a BDU or ACU coat which can be quite bulky and restrictive, the combat shirt allows you to move freely and keep cooler in warmer weather. Some of our customers have told us they use the shirt in mountaineering and rock climbing as the pockets are very handy for smaller items such as a cell phone and the sleeves are quite durable.
Available in sizes Small through 3XL. Available color is desert sand.
Features and Benefits of the Rothco Desert Sand Combat Shirt:
What do I need to know before purchasing the Rothco Desert Combat Shirt?
Some customers have reported that the shirt runs one size large. Our exchange rate on this item is relatively low but we have seen some exchanges down one size which would indicate that the shirts run large. This is a replica combat shirt. While still of excellent quality, if you are seeking a true military issue grade combat shirt, then we suggest the following items.

…sound too good to be true? The verdict is a bit hazy, but according to WWD, there's a new pair of jeans in town that can actually help you lose weight.
Refinery29 explains:
One brand, Mohicano Jeans, has aloe vera, vitamin E, amino acids, and enzymes woven right into the fabric — things that supposedly reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks by promoting cell growth, collagen, and elastin. After wearing these jeans for 15 days (don't lie, you've done it before), skin's hydration should increase by 11.5%. The cosmetic properties are good for about 40 washes, after which you're left with a normal, though reasonably cute, pair of $85 jeans.
In a trial of 160 women, 2/3 said they noticed a change for the better over the course of four weeks of everyday wear. Other brands work on more or less the same principle and retail in the ballpark of $80 — though not all last as long as 40 washes, like the Eve jean by LeRock and its leg-shaping abilities, which only last for 28 days and retail for a full $275.
Would you buy them? Let us know on twitter!

5 Wines We Tried (and Loved!) This Week
It may not be exactly what the doctor ordered, but we'd argue that the best cure for long nights and harsh weather is a hearty helping of wine. So crack open one of these enticing bottles, pour yourself a glass (or two), and feel the warmth spread through your chest and chilled bones. Cheers!

On A Tentative Return
I realize it's been a while since I last posted. *checks last post* Okay, so two months. Eh.
Anywho, life's been getting more stabilized over the past several weeks, and I'm thinking about playing again. I can't reactivate my account just yet, since I have bills to pay first, but I'm hoping to be up and running again by New Years. I've been talking with a few friends, two of whom used to play before, and we're all thinking that playing a little WoW is a good way to kill some time here and there, as well as have it be an activity that we can all do while we hang out.
I'm not entirely sure if I'll be getting back to this blog with the same level of dedication I once did, but who knows? If nothing else, it'll be a place to catalog whatever random crap I come up with as I play.
I did dust off the starter account. I noticed that since my last post where I was bitching about the prohibitive cost of Pet Battles and how the 80g price tag put it beyond the reach of Starter Accounts, they went and dropped the price to 10g.
So I bought it.
And I'm constantly flooded with the error message, "Failed to begin pet battle."
GG Blizz. GG.
So, fine. I'll wait until I reactivate. I did try out the worgen starting zone for the first time ever.
Nobody ever told me they get a TOP HAT. Why did nobody *ever* tell me I could've had a fancy top hat? I mean, I've already got a monocle and a diamond-tipped cane! I could've had a TOP HAT to match!
So, first order of business when I get a full account again is to create a new bank alt and get him a top hat, tuxedo, monocle, and diamond-tipped cane.
Because what's fancier than a top hat and monocle?!

Pet battles will fit your need of something to waste some time on. They are fun in a passtime sort of way and you will not even notice that your entire play time is gone in a blink of an eye. I'll be the first to admit I like it a hell of a lot more than I would have expected I would.
I don't think the diamond tip cane drops any more sadly.Replies
Well, it's a good thing I still have my diamond-tipped cane on my old bank alt, then!Delete
I've not checked this, but can you wear a top hat and a monacle at the same time as they're both head slot items?ReplyDeleteReplies
