Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised Canadians he would clean up Ottawa. Instead, he is letting his friends run roughshod over the taxpayer. Exhibit A is the Minister of International Cooperation.
Do members remember the $16,000 limo bill she had in 2006, or the $5,000 limo joyride at the Junos? Now it is $3,000 in London. I am sorry, but if every time somebody gets caught and says "sorry", it just does not sound honest.
She has been caught. She has paid for the orange juice: big deal. Will she stand and pay for the frivolous limo rides she dinged the taxpayers with in London, yes or no?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, as we have said before, the minister has repaid the inappropriate expenses in this matter and has apologized to the House.
As I have said many times, our government expects that ministers and all public officials conduct business with the greatest respect for taxpayer dollars. That is the reason why, compared with the previous government, our costs of ministerial travel are 15% lower. The taxpayers want to see a government that respects taxpayer dollars, and that is what we will continue to do.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, if the Conservatives respected taxpayers, they would have their hon. member stand and be accountable instead of hiding in the dog house or behind the minister. A simple "sorry" will not suffice.
That is a minister who was found in contempt of the Canadian Parliament, a minister who has wracked up thousands of dollars in frivolous bills, a minister who tells hard-working Canadians that, "I'm sorry, a five-star hotel just isn't posh enough for me".
Therefore, if she will not answer, I will ask the man in charge. When he has an ethically challenged minister, what does she have to do in order to get kicked out of his Cadillac cabinet?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, once again, the opposition member makes a number of accusations and allegations that are simply not correct. In terms of accountability, the minister has been fully accountable, was accountable in the House and has repaid all inappropriate expenses.
The important consideration for all taxpayers is that the government is interested in seeing that taxpayer dollars are respected and managed carefully. That is what our government has been doing and that is why, notwithstanding inflation, our expenses continue to be 15% lower for ministerial travel than those of the previous Liberal government.
We will continue to stay focused on ensuring taxpayer dollars are treated with the greatest of respect.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Romeo Saganash Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, while the Minister of International Cooperation rides in limousines and stays in the world's most luxurious hotels, her department is cutting nearly $400 million from its aid to the world's poorest countries. Attendance at the Saving Children's Lives conference cost $1,000 per day, yet as we know, a child can be vaccinated against malaria for a mere $14.
When will the government curb the excesses of the "minister of mimosas" and restore funding to help those who really need it?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, as I have said several times, the minister has repaid the inappropriate expenses and apologized. Our government requires that travel on government business be undertaken at a reasonable cost to taxpayers. Our government's travel expenses are 15% lower than the former Liberal government's.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, while his ministers are sipping $16 glasses of orange juice from the back of their limousines abroad, the government is pleading poverty at home. Coincidentally, $16 per day is almost exactly what the average old age pensioner is expected to live on everyday, that was until the Prime Minister attacked the pensioners.
The Prime Minister has effectively pulled $16 per day out of the pockets of low-income seniors and handed it to the CIDA minister to pay for her orange juice. Why has the Prime Minister launched an attack on seniors yet he ignores the out-of-control extravaganza of his—
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
The hon. government House leader.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, the question from the hon. member is indeed surprising. That is an hon. member who made considerable violations of the rules of ethics in terms of her own expenses that she filed personally through the House of Commons, and that is a matter of public record, and she had her own problems when she was a minister.
The fact is we see a difference on this side in that we have attempted to have respect for taxpayer dollars throughout. That is why our travel expenses are lower. When it comes to hospitality, something she knows about, under our government the hospitality costs for ministers are one-third less than they were under the Liberal government.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, budget 2012 is Canada's environmental inaction plan. The government has gutted environmental regulations, put our waters and fisheries at risk and muzzled non-partisan scientists whose work contradicts the flawed ideology of the government. Instead of evidence-based decision making, cabinet will use ideology to overrule the National Energy Board.
Could the minister stand and explain why he is willing to risk the health, safety and in many cases the livelihood of Canadians?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Joe Oliver Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, I am proud that the resource development legislation will enhance environmental protection in a very significant way. We will invest an additional $165 million to improve maritime safety and pipeline safety. We will make sure that all tankers are double hulled, that there will be mandatory pilotage, that there will be aerial surveillance, and that there will be a 50% increase in the safety inspection of pipelines.
This government is committed to environmental protection.
National Defence
Oral Questions
April 25th, 2012 / 2:40 p.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, at the request of my colleague from Scarborough—Guildwood, the Parliamentary Budget Officer has just written to the Department of National Defence asking for the documents required to establish the real cost of the F-35, this time based on a 36-year life cycle.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer is also recommending use of the $137 million per jet cost, as recommended and calculated by the Auditor General and the U.S. Congress.
Will the government comply with the request?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Edmonton—Spruce Grove
Rona Ambrose Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women
Mr. Speaker, I am familiar with the costing assumptions that the Parliamentary Budget Officer makes. My office has already met with him to ask his advice.
As I said, we accept the recommendation and the conclusions of the Auditor General. We fully expect the Department of National Defence to table its updated cost estimates for the F-35. When that is done, we would welcome the Parliamentary Budget Officer to review them.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Pierre Nantel Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages can launch all the PR campaigns he wants to try to look like the champion of culture, but the facts speak for themselves.
In Montreal today, CBC/Radio-Canada employees are demonstrating to condemn the dirty deeds the Conservative government is perpetrating against our public broadcaster. The CBC has had to pinch pennies for years, and now the government is imposing another 10% cut.
Is that what this government means by investing in culture, yes or no?
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, first of all, the CBC has the necessary funding to fulfill its mandate under the Broadcasting Act. Second, and what is more, it has the necessary funding to pursue its 2015 plan.
As for artists, it was our government that increased funding to the Canada Council for the Arts by 20%, and our government that is protecting these investments more than any other government with budget 2012, which the hon. member voted against.

As a parent, I have never been a fan of hiding vegetables in other food to get my kids to eat healthy stuff. Yes it takes lots of work, patience and modeling, but the development of these beneficial lifelong habits is imperative and my job as a parent. The same is true of using the arts to teach core content. Dance, drawing, tableau, music, sculpture, etc., should not be pureed, diluted and sneaked into the curriculum in miniscule portions.
So here's to the teachers that spent the first week of their summer vacation developing innovative, creative, and not-pureed curricula involving math, science, history and of course, the arts.
Congrats to the Joan Oates Institute class of 2012!
On the last day everyone struck an action pose for the group photo. Look for the movie, "59 Ninjas or Crouching Teacher, Hidden Art Forms," soon to be posted to a online video site near you.
It was a great week of hard work, learning and fun. Our mascot became the paper giraffe made by Richmond Montessori School teachers in Noah Scalin's Creativity workshop. The assignment: fill/use/draw/create something with the 100 circles you were given on ten sheets of 11×17 paper.
Wondering what to do with the integrated curriculum you have developed at the institute or on your own? Apply for a PIA Award to implement your ideas and bring in teaching artists to work with students and teachers in collaborative and transformational ways.

CHICAGO (AP)–Taj Gibson led five players in double figures with 23 points and the Chicago Bulls brushed off a poor offensive first half to rally for an 89-77 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
Kirk Hinrich had 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting, Mike Dunleavy scored 13, Jimmy Butler 12 and Joakim Noah added 10 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.
Gibson, who was 9 for 15 from the field, also had eight rebounds in 32 minutes off the bench.
The Bulls (40-31) pulled within two percentage points of Toronto (39-30) for third place in the Eastern Conference.
The win also prevented Indiana from clinching the Central Division title on Chicago's home court. The Pacers are looking to win consecutive division crowns for the second time since joining the NBA (1998-99 and 1999-2000).

Lovely, light, and lively, a perfect material for year 'round usage. Presenting a pale pink wool knit fabric that is of a medium weight, completely opaque, and containing a fabulous one directional stretch. This material is pleasantly soft, contains a wonderfully soft, but stiffer drape, and is completely matte in color. Use this charming wool fabric to create gorgeous skirts, beautiful dresses, and comfortable draped bottoms.
Color: Pale Pink
Width: 56"
Content: 100% WOOL
Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

Robot Enthusiast Spends Two Years Bringing Pixar's WALL-E to Life
Mike Senna, a part-time robot builder from Orange County, California, dedicated over 3,000 man hours across two year to constructing a fully functioning RC replica of the robot WALL-E from Pixar's animated movie of the same name.
With no hobbyist parts available, Senna says he was forced to build his WALL-E replica from scratch. You can follow the entire build process on his website.
A computer programmer by trade, Senna is already well-known in hobbyist circles for his incredible realization of the Star Wars droid R2-D2.

I just read from his twitter that he is about to take off for LA. So the Olympic champion doesn't show up at gala and just goes home? Too sad that I can't see him this weekend

I really don't want to believe that. Not that I'd miss his skating but he is the gold medalist...
The gala is what, 6-7 days away? Plenty of time to fly back. He probably wants to get away from the media and relax at home until then. I hopes he would be in the stands for Mirai, but whatever he wants. Maybe he really wants to get that Aston Martin.
I strongly hope so!
maybe he wants to celebrate with family and friends for a few days? LA is not far to fly from Vancouver. Though somehow it would seem more "Olympian" to stick around for the duration, cheering on teammates and whatnot... -- but I sure ain't no olympian - who would i be to judge?
here it says he is returning to LA to prepare for the gala
Sorry folks I hope he stays in LA. IMHO he should never have won because his skating is sloppy, stiff and he's awkward. Sometimes when he kicks frontwise (made up word) he reminds me of a can-can dancer. Most of the comments I have read are in agreement with this conclusion; blame the judges!!
he's probably doing the Media whirlwind in LA and then coming back. no surprise there. There are a lot of US athletes that are leaving after their events even if they medal.
Didn't Mirai come down for the Opening Ceremonies, fly back to LA and then come back to Vancouver? The two places are not really that far away, and the Gala isn't till the end of the week, I think. Evan is probably going down to do a few shows and will be back in plenty of time for the Gala and the Closing Ceremonies. I wouldn't worry.
Are we still with the whole Evan vs. Plushy thing? GET OVER IT!!!
I heard they didn't invite Johnny Gaga to perform. I wanted to see "Poker Face" one more time (with Johnny possibly wearing a platinum wig)
You know, people who post nasty stuff just for the gratuitous fun of it, must have very sad, unrewarding lives. I am very happy for Evan, Evgeni, and Daisuke-all medalists.
Skaters often go back and forth during the middle of the Olympics - especially if it's the same time zone. Ice time in Vancouver is probably very hard to come by. I can also imagine that Evan may want to put together something new and special for this particular gala. I can also imagine that he needs some sleep.

Flames News Round-Up, September 5 2012
Ryan Pike
September 05 2012 09:09AM
There may be no CBA movement in the NHL, but the Canadian Hockey League chugs towards the beginning of the regular season AND things are kicking off in Europe!
Sieloff Impressing in Windsor And Junior Jumble
Sports Illustrated's Allan Muir had some nice words for Flames 2012 second round pick Patrick Sieloff this past week.
Writing just as Sieloff was beginning the pre-season with the OHL's Windsor Spitfires, Muir praised Sieloff's bone-rattling hits. Fans who saw him at Flames development camp in July saw that first-hand, albeit in his truncated on-ice appearance. But one particular quote gave me goosebumps.
"If he's hitting his teammates like this," one scout said after a recent scrimmage, "I can't wait to see him when he goes up against the guys he's supposed to hurt."
- With some uncertainty surrounding the 2012-13 NHL season, and a glut of AHL bodies, it appears Flames prospect Turner Elson may begin the season in the WHL.
Elson is one of several Flames WHL prospects with 1992 birthdays – along with Sven Baertschi, Michael Ferland and Max Reinhart – who are eligible to return to junior for their over-age year. Unlike Reinnhart and company, Elson likely won't be turning pro this year, instead choosing one last season with Brent Sutter's Red Deer Rebels.
That's probably a good choice for Elson at this point. The Abbotsford Heat are going to be jam packed with other rookies who are likely to get more ice time, so he'd probably end up either a healthy scratch or in the ECHL as a pro this year.
KHL season begins And Ferland Case Pushed Back
In other news, Avangard Omsk began their regular season on Tuesday with a 3-2 shootout loss to the defending Gagarin Cup winners, Dynamo Moscow. Flames prospect Karri Ramo had 26 saves in regulation, but gave up two goals on two shootout attempts to end the game for his team.
- Due to a delay with disclosure of information, the court date for Flames prospect Michael Ferland has been bumped back to September 18, according to the Calgary Herald.
Ferland was charged in early August in connection with an incident outside a Cochrane bar in late July.
Phaneuf Engaged
Former Flames alternate captain Dion Phaneuf got engaged to actress Elisha Cuthbert this past week in PEI. It'll be the first marriage for both, so please, no sloppy seconds jokes.
Hope Ferland gets straightened out. I was really looking forward to seeing what he and Reinhart can do in Abby this year.
Sieloff - I'm not big on big hitting d-men, but I guess it would be nice to have at least one. As long as he's not giving up scoring chances to deliver those hits.
Elson was very good at development camp. I definitely thought he was ready to play pro. Even ECHL would be better than the dub. I don't know what he's going to learn there.
September 05 2012, 12:34PM
I'm also dubious about the value of big hitting d-man. It's not a bad thing per se to be able to hit hard, but it also doesn't make up for other deficiencies.
If the guy can adequately defend and lay out some bodies though? That's good news.
@Kent Wilson
He's supposed to be a very good, mobile, shut-down d-man. We'll see how he turns out.
September 05 2012, 04:04PM
Personally I always squealed with joy when Regeher pasted Hemsky into the glass, having another guy like that around wouldn't suck.
September 05 2012, 05:01PM
Yeah I saw him at the dev camp. Had some issues moving the puck at times, but that mostly decision making and he was playing against a lot of older guys. He's actually not that big or plodding, so he shouldn't have the mobility issues that typically larger heavy hitters have.
It will be very interesting to see how he does in the CHL this year.
September 05 2012, 05:58PM
I love big hitting defensemen. I know it means nothing in the long run if they can't defend, but I don't know, I like the aesthetics, I guess.
That said, my thoughts on guys that can do it are like guys that can fight: I like it, but their game had better be more well rounded than that. Cory Sarich can lay guys out, but that's it. I will love it if Sieloff can wallpaper guys, but if he tries any of that Rhett Warrener starfish crap I saw him try in the development camp, I want him gone pronto.
The NHL is obviously the best hockey league in the world.
But now that it's going to be on hold for a while, what's the second best league? The KHL? The Swedish Elite League? The AHL?
I'd probably have to say the KHL, given the talent and money that league has.
What do you think?

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode From London to Marrakech looks at sunken treasure and global trade networks.
Venetia Porter, curator, British Museum
This extraordinary find, discovered at Salcombe Bay in Devon in 1994, provides a glimpse into a fascinating period of history. In 1585, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the Barbary Company was established to facilitate trade between England and Morocco. English merchants were excited by the commercial possibilities of obtaining sugar, saltpetre for making gunpowder and gold which was in short supply in Europe at this time.
Stories of the Moroccan ruler Ahmad al-Masur's 1591 conquest of gold-rich Timbuktu and Gao in West Africa filtered out to the West and increased the desire for trade. A letter from one Laurence Madoc to Anthony Dassel (called 'a merchant of London' in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations) describes the feat of the conquest: 'there went… for those parts seventeen hundred men: who passing over the sands for want of water perished one third part of them: and at their coming the Negroes made some resistance but to small purpose.' Madoc marvels at the quality of gold available to the Moroccan ruler: 'The rent of Tomboto [Timbuktu] is 60 quintals of golde by the yeere' (approximately 600 kilos).
Ahmad al-Mansur (r.1578-1603) was known as al-Dhahabi, 'the golden one'. He is said to have paid his functionaries in pure gold; his palace supposedly had golden walls. Legend also has it that during his reign, '1,400 hammers continuously struck coins at the palace gate.' He had excellent relations with Elizabeth I. About a quarter of the coins from the wreck – more than a hundred – were struck by this ruler, and another hundred were struck by one of his sons Mawlay Zaydan (r.1608-27). The rest are mostly coins of other members of the family, down to the 1630s.
How were they acquired? In the souk of any city in the Islamic world, money-changers and dealers in jewellery would have been located together and often conducted both businesses. The fact that much of the jewellery is in pieces suggests that out merchant or sea captain obtained this as bullion to be melted down.

Skip to comments.Hawaii Verifies Obamas Birth For Arizona Secretary Of State
Posted on 05/22/2012 9:14:44 PM PDT by Beaten Valve
A Hawaii official announced late Tuesday that the state gave Arizonas top elections official the verification he wanted showing President Barack Obama was indeed born there in 1961.
The announcement came just hours after Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett backed away from his threats to keep Obama off the November ballot and apologized for embarrassing his own state with a conspiracy theory-fueled investigation into whether the president was really a natural born U.S. citizen.
It also followed weeks of back and forth between Hawaii and Arizona, with Hawaii officials saying they werent sure Bennett was qualified to be investigating the matter.
Heres the full statement Joshua Wisch, the special assistant to the Hawaii attorney general, released at 11:35 p.m. ET:
(Excerpt) Read more at livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com ...
My first reaction..........BS!
This is a joke, correct?????
shouldn't they be verifying he is NBC?
Actually, now they have a real document to look at.

Show it to the American people. Let it come under the microscope and see what is unveiled (or not).
Well that settles it and thnx for providing proof positive for all 2 C....
That would be my guess.
There was no way that they were going to allow a state to keep BO off the ballot.
Wisch. You can't make this stuff up.
I can hear it now ...
"Somebody got to Bennett. He was threatened."
How did Hawaii verify his birth?
There is nothing in the statement that says what the form of 'verification' was. We don't know if they have anything at all to look at
I truly doubt this was a true vital document but some statement to the fact that Hawaii has something on file that says Obama was born there.
Hawaiian law provides that anyone can say they witnessed a birth in the state and they will provide a birth certificate.
In Obama's case, it's 'GIGO' or Garbage In Garbage Out.
Were they allowed to see all of 0bama's records - name changes, adoption papers, etc. or just the composite crap that has already been put out?
And for a few bucks anyone can get a copy of my birth certificate. Why can't we get a copy of his?
Did they provide another document of birth?
Did they have pictures, did they have DNA, did they have unrefutable eye-witness testimony?
How did they verify it?
And what is this part about the Arizona Secretary of State apologizing for embarassing the state for a conspiracy theory fueled campaign? Is that what he said?
Sorry, all of this sounds completely fabricated and if the Arizona Sec of State did reverse, then it is because other ofrces are at work here somehow. They haven't had time to verify whatever it is Hawaii may have provided.
On second review, there's no confirmation from Arizona's Secretay of State, just comments from Hawaii.
"Fact or Crap?"
Worse than "Crap" It gives Bennett an out the pansy, and provides the OBots propaganda like the clowns at this website TPM.
I became convinced a long time ago that the NBC issue would never go anywhere. There are way too many people in positions of power, such as congress and the SC, who refused to do anything about it.
I'll bet there were so many of those going up when it was read it sounded like the MTC! "Oh, BULLL!!"
All I know is the form (and it was a copy of the form Obama showed to the public) on the White House website was a complete fabrication. Why? I have no idea.
For now, I'll let this go, and now we need to focus on getting the man out of office.
Using the wording at your link I only get 4 returns...
@Joshua Wisch " We have received information from Secretary Bennett that satisfied our requirements,"
So who is Nick Martin ?
If I embarrassed the state, I apologize, but that certainly wasnt my intent, Bennett said in an interview with Phoenix radio station KTAR. Hell be on the ballot as long as he fills out the same paperwork and does the same things that everybody else has.
Bennett said he still intends to keep asking Hawaii for verification that Obamas birth certificate is authentic. But he said he only plans to use Hawaiis answer as a way to satisfy demands from constituents who remain unconvinced Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States and so therefore eligible to be president.
He also said he talked to Hawaiis attorney general on Monday night and clarified what he is looking to have verified. He said he reworded his request and expects to receive a response from Hawaii officials in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Listen to his interview:
"How did Hawaii verify his birth?"
Like always, they just said it! No paper to back up their asertion. This a$$hat Bennett needs to go. Like Jan Brewer, he's a weak-kneed jerk. McLame, Brewer, and now Bennett. Not an ounce of testosterone anywhere in AZ leadership, with the notable exception of Joe Arpaio.
Obama is killing Arizona.
TPM is an OBot website. Hawaii, the dishonest twerps, are playing games trying to get a jump on the propaganda.
Still too bad for the OBots that this has no effect on Sheriff Arpaio's Obama investigation. Heh.
Arizona caved in yesterday. No need to confirm anything. So Hawaii can say anything they want and say they all agree and we can just get on with the coronation.
He's doing a damn good job of killing the U.S. of America.
And what verification was given? Someone gave their word in a phone call?
Thanks Beaten Valve.
Hope you're correct. We do jump the gun by reacting to the leftist media.
In other words; too many people in power could legitimately be killed, as treason is punishable by death, when it came out that they were involved in overthrowing the Constitution, or at least remnants thereof.
See #36. AP via Mercury News.
Wow that's funny because before they said they couldn't find it. My oh my, it must have been under a seat cushion.
"I've tried my best" he told us, "but so far I haven't found anything that proves he was born in Hawaii. And it doesn't help that Kenya keeps bragging about one of their homeboys pulling a fast one on the USA and getting elected President."
Yeah... and AZ could have made a BIG STAND against the injustice and overreach of the federal government.
I wrote an article up explaining how, it's for NM, but applicable in the general idea to AZ: here.
Hell I can verify he was born also. I can see he is living.
Oops I forgot the link
Ah yes, Hawaii verifies ... and while they're at it, did they verify Sun Yat Sen was born there too, and in Mainland China.
"...In March 1904, Sun Yat-sen obtained a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, issued by the Territory of Hawaii, stating he was born on 24 November 1870 in Kula, Maui..."
Just saying.
Maybe if they lie and say that they are you or a very close relative.
Soros is behind this.
See my post 26 for a link to the Arizona Sec of State interview wheere he apologized. He looks a lot less sure of himself...or something, than he did earlier when calling Hawaii out.
Joshua Wisch, special assistant to Hawaii Attorney General David Louie...
@Aloha from the Department of the Attorney General
I have gotten birth certificates for several people that were not my relatives while doing research for a paper on genetics. As long as you are willing to pay, the states are willing to give up the information. Birth certificates are public record and therefore are available to anyone.

I have owned and used Paiste Rudes since 1983. I am reviewing a new 18" crash/ride here and it is an excellent cymbal!I think that the "Rude" name belies the sound and uses for this series. Drummers get the impression that these should only be used by drummers who are the personification of Animal from the Muppets. This is not the case.While I probably would not play a great deal of intimate jazz gigs with this crash (unless I used it as a ride), it can be used in many different settings. It is perfect for rock and metal, of course, but it would be perfectly fine in most amplified settings. Playing an amplified country gig would be just fine. Funk? No problem. Blues and Classic Rock? Sure. Pop would work, too. FWIW, I am not simply a metalhead. I also own a modest set of Zildjian K Customs that I use where appropriate.I actually compared this crash, side-by-side, with an 18" Paiste Signature Power Crash, 18" Paiste 2002 Crash, 18" Paiste 2002 Power Crash, and an 18" Paiste 2002 Medium. I also looked at Zildjian A and Z Custom, too, but wanted to stay with Paiste this time.I felt that the Rude was simply a better sounding crash than the others, with the Medium a close second. The Sig. Power Crash sounded too constipated (it never felt like it opened up fully), the 2002 Power Crash lacked the sweetness that I want from a crash on the top end, and the 2002 crash had a nice, pure sound, but I felt it lacked the overall strength and drive that I sought.The Rude had everything I wanted. It is a bright, full-bodied crash. It has the classic, pure cut of 2002s with a fatter, wetter tone. Despite the name, I can still use dynamics with the cymbal. Not everything has to be played fortissimo. In addition, it is a durable piece of metal that one does not have to worry about overplaying. This is great for those gigs where the microphone coverage is dodgy at best.Finally, I would like to add that it sounds great recorded. I listened to a playback of a live, outdoor recording I did with a contemporary worship band (I was actually a substitute) in front of an audience of about 500-600 people. My Rudes were fat...dare I say, Bonham-esque. I was kind of fearing that they might just sound like a loud, obnoxious roar, but they did a great job and sounded like something that one would hear on the radio.Again, I think that many drummers overlook these cymbals because of the name. They can certainly be played loudly, but I say give them a try. They may be more civilized than you think.

This cymbal sounds great with any set of cymbals...when its not cracked. About a year ago i got this cymbal as a gift and its worked wonders for me until it cracked. If you are a hard hitter on your drums then this cymbal is not for you. Sadly, its made for harder music but if its going to crack after a year of playing then i find that to be a bit rediculous. But hey, thats just me.

I'm a huge fan of b8. About six months ago, al my thinner crashes were cracked again, so I wanted a thicker crash. I found a 17" version of these rudes in a local shop and bought it after comparing it to the rest of the metalcrashes there. I really like this one. Eccept from that it's extremely loud and penetrating, it has also some deep lower frecuencies to give it such a powerfull sound. first i didn't like paiste, but after playing an hour with this one i changed my mind. It's one of the best metalcrashes you can get and it WON'T crack at all!
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
This rude series is great for metal. Their loud and durable. I have been using the same three for three years now and wont be switching for a while. The only problem I had with them was they're too loud for the studio. I had to soften my hits, to me not a big deal. I am planning on using these for quite a while, their the best.
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
I bought one 18" Crash/Ride, cause I got a nice deal on eBay and I liked the sound examples on the pAiste Homepage. But when I played it, I was rather disappointed. The cymbal sounds really gongy and is only able to produce a decent sound when hit really (!) hard. Anyone who tells you, he uses these for jazz or something is probably not telling the truth... If you play in a band they are good, because they cut through guitars and stuff. But for playing alone and anything but metal, they won't do it. Probably gonna sell this one and get me a nice 2002 Power Crash, or maybe a thin Rude. Positive thing is, the bell is nice and the ride sound too, but I need it as a crash, so...
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
All I have to say is that this thing will probly never break or even crack it is so thick. It sounds very deep and dark but I guess it is a crash ride! these are crap compared to my avedis. If they werent as expesive they might be worth it.
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
I've only been playing PAiSte for a little over a year & I could kick myself in the ying yang for never even giving them a chance. I been through the best of the best Zildjian & Sabian pieces & nothing comes close to the sound & or value of a PAiSte. I play in 4 totally different style local cover bands & PAiSte has the versatality in their sound to cover all the different genres hands down. My 19" PAiSte RUDE Crash/Ride is so universal it's SIC. Killer Crash & Ride. It's Quite the space saver. PAiSte 4 life.
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
These may have hit their peak in popularity back in the 80's, but they still sound better than most crash cymbals today. I have two 18's on my kit, and I get more compliments than any other cymbals I have ever owned, and there's been alot. Sound men simply love them, they sound like a digitally mastered crash cymbal in a sticky bar room live setting. And, man, do they cut! Dark when up close or in a small room, high when further away or in a larger room - what could be better? I've had Zildjian A's, Sabian AA's, Paiste 2002's, and these Rude's rule. I have been around all the other crashes also - K's, A Customs, HH's, Paiste Signature's, etc. These have the best sound of any crash I've ever heard, can't believe they can be so seldomly seen. I am the only drummer in my area that I've seen who even has them, and can't believe how many drummers I meet who have never even heard of them. The only reason I tried Rudes is because I have grown very tired of cracked cymbals and I hate cheap cymbal sounds, so I gave these a try. Did some 'A' 'B' comparisons with Zildjian Z Customs and there was no contest. Loved my 2002's, but all 3 ended up cracked within a couple of months of each other after about a year of use. If you play any kind of live music that has guitar and bass amps, these will not let you down. Spend the extra $$ cause these look to last longer anyway.
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
You can have your high-end Zildjans with their wide range of overtones and crazy sounding effects. You can have your high-end Istanbuls with their renown darkness. But if you want a straight-up good sounding cymbal: I mean something dark, versatile and universally complimentary to ANY song of ANY genre, then look no further than the RUDE line. I've used them in Jazz, Country, Metal, Funk - you name it. Even the bell sounds like an instrument unto itself. Works great for live shows and session work alike.
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
I bought a 17" a few months ago and I have to say it cuts through and is perfect for loud situations. If you play hard and you play a lot, this cymbal will stand up to anything you throw at it. I mean, you could probably even throw a brick at it and it wouldn't even phase it.I love it. would have been a perfect 5, but I gave it a 4 for value, because I think everything is overpriced nowadays.great product paiste
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
I just got this cymbal in today, the 18 inch. And I couldnt be happier with it. This cymbal is meant to be rode hard, its got amazing tone and sustain. The only bad thing is I guess I'm going to have to use all rudes now cause these cymbals are so loud they make all my others cymbals sound like toys.
Comments about Paiste Rude Crash Ride Cymbal:
I own a Tama Starclassic 10 Piece Double Bass Set. With 14 total Paiste cymbals. 9 RUDE's. With 14" Sound Edge, 2 16" Crash/Rides, 17" Crash/Ride, 2 18" Crash/Rides, 19" Crash/Ride, 20" power ride, and 18" China Paiste Rude's. These are the most sickest and most awesome cymbals ever made. I am a life long paiste fan. It has an explosiveness when struck, cuts through the heavy guitar riffs, an integrated bell with a raw ping, and unlathed for loud and aggressive playing. RUDE's came out in 1980, when heavy metal was making a big mainstream. And Paiste wanted to make a cymbal for the metal drummers. These bad boys have never let me down and they are very durable and versatile. If you are a heavy metal drummer. Get these!!!! They are worth every penny! And the drummers that use these are Dave Lombardo of Slayer, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden, Charlie Benante of Anthrax, and Joey Jordison of Slipknot.

Skip to comments.FULL SPEECH Watch Sarah Palin bring the house down at Steve Lonegans campaign rally
Posted on 10/12/2013 4:31:47 PM PDT by Hotlanta Mike
Sarah Palin delivered another one of her great campaign speeches for Steve Lonegan today at his campaign rally. You can watch the full speech below:
(Excerpt) Read more at therightscoop.com ...
Great, but she would have a tough time being elected in AK and would have no impact in that liberal bastion called New Jersey.
Has same been pinged?
I'm busy with FReepathon.
You really think she would lose against the Demonrat Begich?
You would be wrong. She may not run because she can politically have more effect in what she is doing now. If she feels the family is finacially secure and can handle being away in DC, she will run and win.
Only the Live thread.
I can ping this one too if you want Onyx.
OKay, thanks so much!
You got it Onyx, one Sarah Ping Coming Up!
I'm watching her now!
Ohh, Jeez Louise there Teddy the Progressive Light!
I am SOO TIRED of hearing RINOS with their, "Oh, good golly, a conservative just CAN'T WIN in Alaska and New Jersey."
Hey, tough t!t to NJ and all other blue states. Palin CAN WIN a lion's share of the nation, and AK and NJ be DAMNED!
No one EVER confronts the libtards, commie pigs, statists and others on what THEY Can't win.
Take your progressive nonsense back to the RATZ party, where you belong.
And I base that OPINION on your handle.
Not being mean, just being a realist.
I dont' know if either of those are true, but with respects to being elected in AK, so what? Are you so government focused that elected office is the only career path? She has a job no one else can have. It's a very high paying gig. It provides a lot of free travel, and includes tremendous influence and an uncanny ability to irritate our enemies.
It's the job of Sarah Palin, which was created by her enemies and now is a key role in our political climate, and there's only one person who can fill it. Why the hell would she want another job, and if she did take another job, who the hell would fill her current job?
Here is Sarah's Full Speech, I can't wait until she goes to D.C. Tomorrow and joins up with the vets there.
Her and Ted Cruz need to say out of Small Planes though (I am NOT joking)
Go Sarah go! Go Steve go! Restore America!
Ping for later viewing.
Awesome speech!
God bless Governor Sarah Palin.
She ignites the crowds like no other.
Prayers for patriot Steve Lonegan's success!!
Hey, YO! Cobol!!
Love your handle.
Know what you mean.
LOL, NICE AA sight.
BTW, Hate Java. Love COBOL.
I'm old, you'll have that.
I don't think I've ever heard Sarah say anything I didn't agree with. I think she's great.
But I wish she would learn that, because of microphones, it is unnecessary to shout! Her voice doesn't go well with shouting.
shut up if you are going to be a downer
That just gave me a chill......
Prayers for Steve Lonegan, I think it would be a welcome addition to the Cruz-Missiles on the Conservative Battleship!
Sounds like a Graphic Idea, Hint Hint.
That just gave me a chill
We are dealing with People who think it's okay to off 30+ Million People in the Name of Progress.
It's On the Way.
That's no way to speak of the next President of the United States.
Plain got saxby chambliss elected in a close run off in 2008. Saxby begged her to come to Georgia to campaign for his sort RINO butt
""But I wish she would learn that, because of microphones, it is unnecessary to shout! Her voice doesnt go well with shouting.""
I still have bruises from the last time I said something about her shrill voice on FR. Stand back!
The trolls are back.
She scares the hell of you !
Love it
Doesn't get any better than that!
Yoy got it right. I wish I could say it like you do. Right now she belongs where she is. She rattles their cages real good.
Sarah's voice pierces to the heart and the brain. No one listens to her without being challenged on the deepest level of their conscience. Her brass, her "shrill" voice are precisely appropriate for the message she is preaching. Go Sarah.
Amazes me how so many people are so narrow minded as to think that somehow she is not having an impact unless she is elected. Glad I'm not alone!!
I wanted to go so badly... but I am 5 hours away from my home in Hunterdon County. Is Mark's speech posted somewhere? He totally namedropped FR on his show on Friday.
Ping for later viewing.
Lonegan's run a very smart race—and bringing Palin in is one of his smart moves. I don't know whether it will be enough, but he's got enough voters if he can make them believe he has a chance and they get themselves to the polls.
If I read correctly the trajectory of events leading up to the Iowa caucuses. and from the tone of her last speech there, she had found that she would be blocked if she made a move for the nomination. Maybe she hoped to gain currency by supporting McCain, but if so she soon found that there was nothing there there.
Sarah: "Let's furlough the D.C. politicians. . they don't listen to the little guy, there is true hope in all of this, . . we can be inspired. . elect leaders who work for We the People. . a small town Major is kinda' like a community organizer except you have real responsibility(!)"
LONEGAN for SENATE! Vote on Wednesday!
Well ...... good luck with that.
What on earth is that a picture of.
Just curious...why is there a two star General at a political rally?
This is awesome .. thank you. I didn't know Sarah and Ted were planning to be marching with the Vets.
And .. this morning, on Bulls&Bears.com, there was this blond woman (didn't catch her name), but at the first opportunity for her to speak, she called the Tea Party a "mob".
So, I wasn't going to let that pass without a response and I sent the show a comment: I'd rather belong to a "mob" made of warriors and Constitution lovers than join the "gang" of thieves she belongs to.
I've never seen the woman on the show before .. and I'm hoping my comment will keep her from being invited back.
That's an old picture, posted because Sarah is holding Mark's book. I do not believe it was a campaign rally.

Softball is a game of inches.
If the ball is an inch this way, Emery loses the game. If the ball is an inch the other way, Emery wins.
Fortunately, the ball was an inch the other way and the Lady Spartans defeated Canyon View High School 10-9 to advance to the state tournament this week at 6 p.m. in Spanish Fork.
Emery trailed 9-8 in the seventh and final inning and with two outs coach Tom Hansen went to ninth grader Whitney Erickson to pinch-hit. She ran the count full. With Canyon View a strike from victory, the ball was an inch the other way and Erickson earned a walk to keep the inning alive.
Tina Ward was the next batter for the Spartans. She also drew a walk and Emery had another chance.
Brandi Jensen, who had played a stellar game all day, was next to bat. She hit the ball softly to right field. The Canyon View player had a bead on the ball but it was just an inch the other way and it popped out of her mitt. The Spartans ran on contact and the error allowed both base runners to score.
In a matter of seconds the Spartans went from having their backs against the wall and being one strike from a loss to leading by a run in the final inning.
The game was then in the hands of the Spartan defense, which had been shaky all day. The eight Emery errors had allowed the Falcons to get the lead, but there were no errors for Emery in this inning.
The Falcons started with a walk, only pitcher Holly Bell's third of the day. A sacrifice bunt got the player to second, but a harmless pop fly was followed by a fly ball to the outfield. Brandi Jensen caught the ball and Emery started to celebrate. The Spartans had come back from an 8-4 deficit to win the battle of inches.
The Spartans got a good start, scoring three runs in the first inning. Brandi Jensen got a hit, stole second, and scored on a Falcon error to give Emery its first score. Bell helped her own cause when she hit a single to bring home Cortni Jensen and Stacie Giles and Emery led 3-0.
Emery added another score in the second when Ward singled and went all the way to third on Brandi Jensen's sacrifice bunt. She scored on a wild pitch and Emery led 4-0.
Canyon View came storming back, scoring three runs in the second inning and five in the third. Most of those runs came because of five Spartan errors in the two innings.
Two of Emery's starters were unable to play in the game due to health and personal reasons and their less experienced substitutes struggled in the early innings.
Emery began to claw its way back in the fourth inning. Brandi Jensen and Mackellee Huntington scored when Cortni Jensen doubled and Emery had closed the gap to 8-6.
Canyon View scored another run in the fifth inning to push their lead to 9-6.
Emery scored two more runs in the sixth inning. Some Falcon errors and a wild pitch allowed Brandi Jensen and Huntington to score again. Emery trailed 9-8 and became poised for their last-inning heroics.
The Spartans move on to face Judge Memorial in the quarterfinals. The Bulldogs are a tough team. They won their first tournament game 12-0. They have one of the best pitchers in the state who struck out 14-of-16 players in their win.
But as the Spartans have proved, anything can happen when the ball is just an inch the other way.
