The Cyclone D4 was the surprise hit of 2007. When it was first
announced, racers were unsure what to expect, however with the
success of the Cyclone Touring Car, they knew the Cyclone D4 would
be something special! At major off-road races around the world, it
enjoyed great success and a swarm of spectators wherever it went,
as racers were eager to see what this new electric 4WD buggy could
At the 2007 IFMAR Off-Road Worlds, several option parts were used by the HB team drivers, including the drivers who made it into the A Final - the fastest electric 4WD buggy drivers in the world! The wide range of options throughout the car each had incremental updates and modifications that made the Cyclone D4 easier to drive and faster on the demanding Japanese off-road circuit.
We are proud to announce the Cyclone D4 World Championship Edition Kit, which includes the base Cyclone D4 kit with all the options used by the team in Japan:
* New Main Chassis - optimized weight balance
* New Front & Rear Shock Towers - tougher and more crash-resistant
* New Front & Rear Shocks - more consistent and easier to build
* New Slipper Clutch design - easy to externally adjust slipper tightness
* New Front Arms for extra strength
* New Lower Wing Mounts for extra top speed
The pictures below show the original Cyclone D4 car, plus close-up views of the latest features included with the World Championship Edition.

Why Shaft Drive?
Hot Bodies designers had an important decision to make before getting started on the off-road platform: what kind of drivetrain would be best? While the belt-drive Cyclone touring car is certainly the best on-road 4WD racer there is, the designers weren't sure a belt drivetrain could properly deal with the rigors of off-road racing.
Finally the decision was made for the shaft drive design for two main reasons:
1. The more direct response of a shaft drive system gives competitive Off Road racers the extra control they need. In Off-Road racing, throttle response on rough terrain or in the air is much more important for controlling the car than in an on-road environment.
2. Using a shaft drive train, meant our designers could ensure a sealed drivetrain that would be protected against the elements and be more reliable over bumps and through the ruts and therefore deliver a higher efficiency.
One word about torque steer: This is an issue in on-road cars with their narrower track, smaller tyres and shorter suspensions. In Off-Road cars, however, the mass of the tyres is much higher and the suspension is much wider. Therefore the force created by the rotating shafts is insignificant in relation. Bottom line torque steer is not an issue at all and the advantages of the shaft drive make it the superior system for Off-Road.
* Faster response & acceleration than belt drive
* Superior mid-air control
* Sealed drive train
* Low friction components
* Not affected by torque steer
Double Deck Design
The Cyclone D4 WCE features improved weight distribution for better balance, even greater mid-air control over the jumps and lower lap times for racers. It's hard to improve on one of the fastest kits we make, but our designers have pulled it out again!
The foundation of the Cyclone D4 is its sturdy double-deck chassis. Made from woven graphite because of its low weight and high strength, the lower chassis is 2.5mm thick and the front and rear upper chassis pieces are each 2.5mm thick. Connecting the upper and lower chassis are the front and rear moulded composite gearboxes and the aluminium motor mount/middle bulkhead.
To make sure the chassis is extra-stiff and allows the suspension to do the work it's designed to do, the upper decks are held in place with a total of 11 flat head countersunk screws. The screws are arranged in a fully symmetrical pattern to minimise the effects of tweak on the suspension. Finally, a unique fan mount is included to help keep your motor cool in the toughest of conditions.
* WC Edition features improved weight balance
* Super stiff double deck layout
* Strong light woven graphite
* Fully symmetrical to minimize tweak
Prepared for the Latest Electronics
The lower chassis is as narrow as possible to place the weight as close to the center line of the car as possible. This improves the speed of weigh transfer for faster cornering.
Because of the clean layout there is enough room to easily fit any current electronics package, whether brushless or standard brushed system.
The motor fits into a large cooling cutout on the main chassis to allow it to get plenty of air, and to let it sit as low as possible in the chassis.
Fitting the batteries is very easy, too! The saddle pack style arrangement makes sure you get equal weight distribution and the moulded battery trays allow mounting the battery in two positions, all the way to the rear or slightly forward. This lets you tune the weight balance of the D4 for extra rear traction or more steering. Convenient straps hold the battery in place securely and allow you to quickly install and remove the batteries simply by removing body clips.
* Adjustable saddle pack layout for perfect weight distribution
* Takes all the latest bushed or brushless systems
* Motor cut out for low motor position and exra cooling
* Everything mounted directly on the lower chassis for low center of gravity
Keeping everything in place on the chassis are high quality Japanese-made hex head steel screws. The high grade steel resists breaking and the precision cutting ensures the screws tap the carbon plastic properly, letting you go through rebuilds without wearing the threads out.
All the screws feature a hex head which looks great and makes the car much easier to work on.
The standard steel ball ends are heavy duty and feature long threaded shafts to allow infinite adjustments with a selection on aluminium shims.
Cool purple anodized light weight shims are used throughout for camber link, bump steer and Ackermann adjustments.
* Hex head screws
* Steel ball ends
* Aluminium anodized shims
New front and rear shock towers are supplied in the Cyclone D4 WCE kit, featuring extra material around the mounting screws and a new button head screw design for the front shock tower to improve durability and crash resistance.
From the one-piece aluminium front suspension bulkhead to the Infinite Roll Centre adjustments, you'll surely appreciate the effort that went into the suspension design of the D4.
In particular, the front end of an off-road racer has to deal with quite a lot - from pointing the car in the right direction, to powering the car through the middle of a tight turn, and even correcting the angle of the car in mid-air, there are many jobs it's entrusted to do, and it must do them all very well if the car is going to be a success! This is why Hot Bodies engineers spent as long as they could perfecting the design of the front suspension, to make sure everything was correct and is ready to go right out of the box for today's advanced racing drivers.
The Cyclone D4 WCE features all-new shock absorbers, designed to be easier to assemble and maintain. With easy bleeding options and improved upper and lower shock caps, you can rebuild the shocks faster and they will also be more consistent while lasting longer between rebuilds. All the metal hardware is hard-anodized for durability.
Our designers spent a long time getting the shocks in perfect order for high-level off-road racing.
The hard-anodized 7075 shock bodies are very tough, made from the strongest aluminium alloy used in RC today. Each shock body is also threaded for infinite ride height adjustment. The fine pitch of the thread allows you to make extremely small adjustments so you get the perfect ride height for any track you race on! Knurled shock collars allow you to get a good grip for easy adjustments and o-rings in the collars prevent any unwanted movement.
The top and bottom of each shock are enclosed with threaded aluminium caps. The top shock cap secures the mount in position, while the bottom shock cap contains a double o-ring shaft seal. Aluminium is used for the bottom cap for increased durability, lower maintenance and ease of rebuilding. However you prefer to fill your shocks, from the top or from the bottom these shocks can accommodate you! To prevent leakage both caps feature an o-ring seal.
For easy assembly the kit includes a set of tailor-made shock building tools for the top and bottom caps.
Each shock shaft is made from tough stainless steel, and feature threads at both ends - at the top to hold the shock pistons in place and at the bottom to attach the bottom shock mount.
For ultra fine tuning of the damping characteristics you get three different shock pistons with the kit. If this isn't enough for you there is also a set of blank pistons to drill your own piston holes!
Ride height limiters are included with the kit as well, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension to your exact driving style, track conditions and particular needs.
* WC Edition features new hard-anodized shock bodies and hardware
* New improved upper and lower shock caps with bleed screw
* Hard anodized threaded shock bodies
* Top and bottom threaded caps
* Aluminium shaft seal cartridge
The D4 comes with HB black off-road springs as standard, which are the softer option of three different spring rates that are available for the car. Each spring is precisely tuned for off-road racing and features ground-flat ends, an all-black finish for stealthy good looks and identifying paint marks at one end.
* Ground flat ends
* Colour coded
* Three grades available
Optimized Geometry
In months of extensive track testing our HB race team and engineers have developed what we think is the finest off-road suspension geometry available today: wide track suspension arms, inverse steering block design, vertical ball end placement and of course full adjustability to name just a few highlights.
Suspension Mounts
The front lower suspension arms are mounted to a one-piece aluminium bulkhead which directly bolts to the chassis.
The rear lower suspension arms are mounted to independently adjustable aluminium pivot blocks.
With the suspension components attached to the chassis independently of the gearboxes and other parts, you can be sure that the suspension does all the work of absorbing landings and keeping the tyres on the ground. No forces are transferred from the suspension to the drive train or vice versa.
* One piece aluminium front bulkhead
* Rear aluminium pivot blocks
Hinge Pins
The new front bumper is wider to protect the hinge pins, and securely encloses the mounts for the new front sway bar.
All hinge pins are made from durable stainless steel and are held in place without e-clips, making removal of critical suspension parts easy and quick. Rubber bushings in the front bulkhead and rear pivot blocks hold the hinge pins in place and absorb shocks that might otherwise bend the pins or break other parts of the suspension.
Set screws hold the outer hinge pins in place, completing the 'No e-clip' suspension design and making the car overall easier to work on than other designs.
* WC Edition features new wider bumper to protect front hinge pins
* Stainless steel
* No e-clips
* Rubber bushings
Suspension Arms
The Cyclone D4 WCE front arms have extra material added to withstand crashes, bad traffic and rough landings. A ball attachment for the new front swaybar is included on the front arms for easy attachment.
Front and rear wishbones feature a sleek aerodynamic design with integrated webbing to make them extra strong. The carbon-reinforced composite plastic makes them stiff and resists twisting. The V-shape design of the rear wishbones increases stiffness even further and allows the usage of longer stroke shocks.
* WC Edition features additional material and sway bar mount ball on front arms
* Carbon-reinforced composite
* Rear V-shape
Inverse Steering Block Design
The D4 steering blocks are a marvel of simplicity and design brilliance in their own right. The steering knuckles go around the uprights instead sitting inside a large C-hub as in a conventional design.This "inverse" design allows the use of much more compact, simple, straight forward parts which makes the steering more precise and the construction more durable.
Providing the maximum amount of drivetrain efficiency while the suspension is compressed or when the front wheels are steering at extreme angles, Cyclone D4 engineers made sure that the steering kingpin and the universal joint line up exactly. This reduces stress on the universal joints and gives you increased driving feedback as you go through a turn.
The huge openings in the uprights for the driveshafts make sure nothing gets in the way of the shafts or the universal joints
* Inverse design
* Compact and durable
* Aligned king pin and universal joint
The one-piece aluminium front suspension bulkhead features built-in 7.5 degrees of kick-up.
The rear anti-squat is adjustable with the two independent hinge pin pivot blocks. Placing aluminium shims under blocks varies the anti-squad angle to keep all the power on the ground.
Variable caster is provided by the 7 or 10 degree (both included) front caster blocks, and allows you to select the right amount for your driving style. More front caster generates more initial steering into the corner but less steering out of the corner.
Front toe is easily adjustable using the titanium steering turnbuckles.
Rear Toe in is set at three degrees at the pivot blocks as standard. It is also adjustable through the use of sturdy optional pivot blocks and/or rear hubs.
Using the Cyclone Infinite Roll Centre (IRC) adjustments, you'll be able to swiftly and conveniently control your roll centre front and rear. Long ball studs hold the camber ball links in place, and washers are used under the ball studs to raise or lower them as needed for each particular track.
The D4 features 2 inner and 1 outer camber link location at the front, and 1 inner and 2 outer locations for the rear.
The combination of adjustable inner and outer mounting points allows extra fine adjustments.
The wheel base can be adjusted simply by using shims on the outer rear hinge pin to change the position of the rear hub.
Shock Mounting Locations
Four holes in the front shock tower and two holes in the suspension arm allow you a big range of possibly shock angles for easy tuning to any track. Both front and rear shock towers are made from ultra-stiff 3.3mm woven graphite for supreme stiffness and maximum strength!
Rear Swaybar
The rear arms feature attachment points for a swaybar.
A firm silver sway bar comes as standard with the kit and an optional softer swaybar is available.
All the power that you can get from your Cyclone D4 won't mean a thing if you can't control it - which is why the D4's steering system is designed for ultimate control and response.
The heavy-duty steering system features a huge range of adjustments and standard features. The steering bellcranks are firmly attached between the upper and lower chassis pieces for solid control and rigidity. Riding on four ball bearings, the steering system allows you to experience full control and extreme precision. An adjustable servo saver is built-in to protect your steering servo from bad landings and rough crashes.
The steering servo is securely held in place with four screws directly on the lower chassis.
With the unique Cyclone Infinite Ackerman Steering (CIAS), you'll find that advanced steering tuning is easier than ever, giving you precise control over your cornering angles and power.
The steering rack uses thick, heavy-duty ball cups and titanium turnbuckles to connect to the steering arms.
You'll no doubt find that the D4 steering system is unique to off-road racers and features everything the expert-level racer requires for maximum control and racing accuracy.
Suspension and Steering Links
All suspension and steering links are made of super light purple anodized titanium turnbuckles and heavy duty oversized ball cups. Together they form a strong and easy to adjust unit. The oversized ball cups ensure the turnbuckles have plenty of grip from the long threads and won't strip out or change the settings in crashes or heavy landings.
Finally, the precise ball cup shape provides smooth suspension action with a minimum of friction and play.

Middel Bulkhead
We've already gone over why HB designers chose shaft drive over belt, but now we'll get further into the details!
The centrepiece of the drivetrain is the aluminium middle bulkhead. It is a 3-piece design consisting of the front half including the motor mount, the rear half and an interlocking top brace, all made from slick, black anodized aluminium.
The motor shaft and centre driveshafts are perfectly parallel giving the D4 amazing drivetrain efficiency and low noise.
The aluminium top brace is held in place with four hex head screws allowing extremely easy slipper clutch adjustments and maintenance.
The tough spur gear is 48dp fine pitch for efficient power transfer. A wide range of optional pinion gears is available to fine tune the gear ratio.
* Strong anodized aluminium
* 3-piece design
* Easy slipper access
Slipper Clutch
The slipper clutch in the Cyclone D4 WCE has been heavily modified to allow external adjustment of the slipper action without having to remove the slipper clutch from the chassis. Simply access the clutch through the upper deck and you're off!
The adjustable centre slipper clutch controls the application of power on low-traction off- road surfaces. Controlled and adjustable spinning of the slipper clutch instead of excessive wheel spin gives you more control and improved acceleration. The dual slipper pads are made from a proprietary long-life material for a consistent and smooth slipper action and long lifetime.
The whole slipper assembly sits on strong steel outdrives which spin the centre drive shafts.
* WC Edition features all-new slipper design with external adjustment and new front centre shaft
* Adjustable traction control
* Dual pad design
Centre Drive Shafts
The two front and rear centre drive shafts are made from extra-thick purple aluminium to keep the rotating mass low while maintaining strength.
In the slipper out drives steel pins are used for the dogbone end to increase durability and resist wear.
Going into the gearbox, universal joints connect the centre drive shaft to the internal bevel gears. Inside each gearbox, a pinion gear spins a ring gear attached to ball diff. The internal gears are also completely new and designed just for the D4!
* Universal joints
* Thick anodized aluminium
The front and rear gearboxes and drive gears are a completely new design for the Cyclone D4 and are not re-used from any previous kit. Moulded from tough carbon composite plastic, each gearbox top and bottom features a tough structure of internal webbing to make them extra-strong to resist damage from crashes and big jumps.
The lower gearbox halves attach solidly to the main chassis and seal perfectly with the upper gearbox halves to provide a dirt-proof seal which protects the gears from any damage. The shock towers and upper decks connect to the upper gearbox halves, making them a strong and vital part of the chassis!
The gearboxes are not connected to the lower suspension arms at all, so they will not be affected by crashes or big jumps.
* carbon composite
* internal webbing
* dirt-proof seal
* independent from lower suspension mounts
Ball Differentials
The ball diffs are interchangeable front and rear which keeps your spare parts count low, and feature carbide diff and thrust balls. This will give very smooth and consistent diff action which is essential for good cornering performance. The carbide material also increases the time between rebuilds.
Strong steel outdrives can handle all the power of a low-turn modified motors!
The diffs are also externally adjustable by simply popping off a camber link and using a hex wrench.
* Carbide balls
* Steel outdrives
* Externally adjustable
Universal Driveshafts
Getting the power from the diffs to each wheel are state of the art steel universal dogbones and axles, featuring the Hot Bodies logo laser-etched on each dogbone! Once again, steel pins are used for the dogbone end to resist wear.
* Low friction
* Durable
Ball Bearings
Everything spins on 22 precision ball bearings for the best drivetrain efficiency and no loss of power!
The ball bearings are efficiently placed, with large diameter bearings on the slipper clutch and each diff, and small diameter bearings at each corner for less unsprung weight.
* Fully ball raced
* Rubber sealed
* Efficiently placed
Hex Hubs
With the multitude of off-road wheels available now, Hot Bodies designers knew that making the D4 able to fit a variety of the most popular wheels would help make it a popular choice for experienced racers.
That is why the D4 features 12mm hexes at the front and rear to not only take the new D4 dish wheels but also a wide range of 3rd party rims.
The front hexes are made from steel and are extra thin with the pin sitting on the outside of the hex preventing the hex and pin from falling off without a wheel attached.
The rear hexes made from aluminium and are clamp-style which again holds the hex precisely and securely in place.
The use of aluminium hexes instead of a simple pin allows you to fully tighten the wheel nuts without fear of binding or crushing the bearings. This guarantees a free-spinning drivetrain. You'll also notice that your wheels will last longer!
* Precise wheel fitting
* Compatible with 3rd party wheels
The HB dish wheels are a one-piece solid design with an aerodynamic shape for increased strength and less chance of getting dirt stuck in the wheels. With a 2.2-inch standard size, any 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear tyres will fit.
No tyres are included so you can choose the ideal tyres for your local track. So you don't have to pay extra for something you don't want or need.
* Strong one piece design
* Lightweight
* Aerodynamic dish design
Wheel Compatability
For the front smaller 10mm hexes to fit Losi wheels are available as options parts.
At the rear Losi and Associated wheels will fit by simply removing the hex hub - just right for the 2WD racer who wants to give 4WD a try but doesn't want to buy a selection of new rear tyres!
Going the other way, you'll be able to also fit HB rear wheels to any Losi or Associated 2WD buggy by simply adding the clamp-on hex hubs.
* Losi front 4WD
* Losi and Associated rear 2WD
The bodyshell of the D4 features a sleek yet high-downforce shape that is designed to maximise aerodynamic efficiency for performance and speed. The ultra-narrow chassis shape is enhanced by the form-fitting bodyshell that fits snugly around the lower chassis.
The narrow cockpit shape lets as much air as possible flow to the rear of the bodyshell, as it goes over the high-angle spoiler just before the rear shock tower and wing.
Durable wing mounts hold the wide rear wing in place high above the body, and also help prevent damage to the shock tower in rollover crashes. A front wing is included that attaches to the front shock tower for those times you need some extra front end grip.
Protecting the bottom of the woven graphite chassis is a polycarbonate undertray which fits perfectly inside the Cyclone D4 bodyshell. The undertray slots into the front bumper and then uses a unique cam attachment to hold securely onto the main chassis. No tape needed, so no fuss!
Keeping your electronics clean and free of any moisture is definitely an important consideration in off-road racing these days, and HB designers found that this was the best way to do it!
For those hot days of summer racing when the temperatures rise, the front cooling ducts can be opened up to allow fresh air to circulate over the motor, speedo and batteries. To let extra air out, the vents directly over the batteries can be cut out to release hot air.
* WC Edition features improved, lower rear wing mounts for extra top speed and durability
* Narrow for supreme aerodynamics
* High downforce
* Smooth undertray
* Cooling intakes and vents

Emily Reed knows a little something about being part of a program that is on the uprise.
The Galatia-Thompsonvile softball star has the Bearcats in the forefront of softball talk in southern Illinois the last three years, thanks to her dominance in the circle and with her stick.
Now Reed is reserving some time to help another young program get to prominence.
Reed gave the Murray State University softball program a verbal commitment recently and is excited for the path that she has in front of her.
"This is definitely exciting," Reed said. "Murray State is a young program and they have energetic coaches that love the game as much as I do. It's going to be a lot of fun to be a part of a program moving forward."
Currently Reed and the Bearcats are in the IHSA Class 1A Sectional, this after capturing their third straight regional championship.
The junior is hitting .438 for the Bearcats, despite missing nearly two weeks this season due to an injury. She leads the team in steals with 28 and has a 3-3 pitching record.
Reed said the decision to verbally commit takes a ton of pressure off of her, allowing her to focus more on preparing herself for the next level.
"It took me a while to decide," Reed said. "I always knew deep down I wanted to play Division 1 softball and when Murray State made the offer, I knew it was one I couldn't pass up. They're a southern school that's close to home and I'm excited that my family and friends can still come see me play.
"I know that one thing I need to do is work on getting stronger and improving my footwork."
Reed, highly regarded as a pitcher, admits that those days are mostly behind her. While she still splits time in the circle with teammate Larissa Bond, Reed believes her primary position will be a middle infielder.
"I don't know if I'm done as a pitcher, but I'd like to think I'll be used more as a shortstop or pitcher. I've caught some, but it's not one of my favorite positions."
Reed added she wasn't sure what she plans on majoring in, but said it would be something centered around sports.
Reed will graduate from Galatia High School next season. The early signing period for softball will be November 14-21 of 2013. The Regular Period will be from April 17 to August 1 of 2014.

About Richie Allen & The Pacific Surfers
One of the unheralded architects of the Southern Californian surf sound, Allen (real name Richie Podolor) played a lot of session guitar on surf and hot rod records in the early '60s, particularly for producer Gary Usher. He also played guitar for drummer Sandy Nelson on the classic "Teen Beat" and other instrumentals, and recorded quite a few surf instrumentals under his own name, although these were rather placid and routine when stacked up against the best of the genre. Reverting to his real name, Podolor racked up production credits with Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, and Three Dog Night in the late '60s, and remains active behind the boards today. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

I liked the personal examples of the instructor that were included. It made it very helpful to hear about real examples. I am recommending this course to my boss and will be taking part 2.
I've been involved in project engineering for a couple of years now. This course was able to structure the things that I'm dealing with on a day to day basis in an educational form for me. It will be of good help for my current job as well as for future jobs in higher management. Thanks and I'm looking forward to Fundamentals of Supervision and Management II.
Taking this course was the best decision of my professional career! I found that I was able to apply the lessons almost immediately to my work life. I also found myself paying more attention to my interaction with my family members. I'm glad I registered for the second part of this course. I can't wait for it to start.
I would like to take a moment to thank the instructor for really outlining the meaning of what supervision and management is and should be. These courses have been easier to digest with the many examples provided. There is a lot of great information to process!
Taking this course is one of the best decisions that I've made since being in a managerial position. I wish I had taken it nine months ago. It can be very difficult or rather challenging supervising your co-workers, especially those who have been there many years before.
The class was GREAT! Thank you for the great lecture materials and information :) See you in Part II soon!
This class was amazing! The assignments helped me work through conflicts I was having with my management responsibilities and dealing with all the different personalities at work. Through this class I have found different ways to solve problems and conflicts and I can't wait to try some of these new methods out when a new problem arises...These were things I always wanted to know but did not have the proper questions to ask. Now I have a better understanding of what is expected of me as a manager.
Thank you for the wealth of information. I do not think you left any subject unturned and thoroughly covered a wide array of topics on supervision and management...You gave what I thought was a unique way of giving value to what may be a controversial work situation and how to deal with it. I feel much more confident starting in my newly promoted position than I did when I began this course.
This class was great, thank you! I loved the entire layout of the course, and how every lesson built on the previous. Because of the "building" of knowledge in this course, I feel like I truly learned and retained a lot of information. I especially enjoyed the interactive elements in this course, which helped explain topics better and helped me to check my understanding as I moved through the lesson. Thanks again, this was great. Looking forward to starting the lessons in Part II!
This class has been enlightening. I took it to help me figure out how to motivate the folks I manage, but so much of the information really made me think. This was one of the best courses I have ever taken.

This week's show features Ian Walker from the Vancouver Sun, Todd Nelson from the Oklahoma City Barons, Scott Cullen from TSN as well as listeners emails discussed on air by the one and only Notorious L.O.W.E.T.I.D.E.
Ian Walker from the Vancouver Sun pops by to discuss the Vancouver Canucks and their fortunes in the playoffs so far.
Todd Nelson head coach of OKC Barons makes another stop to give us an update on the Oilers AHL fortunes.
Lowetide reads listeners emails and discusses his take on things.
Scott Cullen of TSN fame and the author of the Power Poll ranking system talks a variety of shop.

This salad can also be made with a two-color slaw mix. It won't be as colorful, but will still taste great.
You can use chow mein noodles in place of the ramen noodles.
Crush the ramen noodles and slice the green onion ahead of time. Place them in separate sealed containers. Just before serving, mix with the remaining salad ingredients. This salad does not hold well once the salad dressing has been added.

Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, as a farmer, my friend and colleague from Vegreville—Wainwright knows the value of innovation and research to the farm sector. That is why the government has been proud to partner with industry, academia, the provinces and so on to put forward a good, solid research-based scientific funding initiative.
We will continue to do that under that marketing freedom for grain farmers act, with a voluntary point of sale check off, which will keep the funding flowing for those great entities like the Canadian International Grains Institute, the Western Grains Research Foundation and the Malt Barley Technical Centre.
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, it has become obvious to all Nova Scotians that in the case of the MV Miner it is not just the rotting carcass of the abandoned freighter that has been cut loose by the government, but the Province of Nova Scotia finds itself cut adrift as well.
Premier Dexter says that he cannot get an answer from Ottawa, so I will give the minister an opportunity to respond today.
Will the minister state clearly here today whether he believes the responsibility to remove that ship lies solely with the Province of Nova Scotia? It is a very simple question. Is the Province of Nova Scotia solely responsible for the removal of that wreck?
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, the premier has already had some discussions with the minister of this government. We gave him the answer we gave here in the House. Transport Canada's role is to ensure that Canada's waterways provide safe navigation, free of ship source pollution. We have determined that the MV Miner is not polluting the marine environment and is not a threat to navigation. That is provincial jurisdiction, and we will continue to work with the province.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Wayne Marston Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, ON
Mr. Speaker, over the last five years, many workers across Canada have seen their pensions drastically reduced because their employers went out of business. Yesterday, I tabled Bill C-331, my pension protection act, which is designed to give pensions priority at the time of bankruptcies. At the present time pensioners must wait behind junk bondholders and bank investments. This is done before they can get their pensions, their deferred wages. This is clearly wrong.
Will the government work with New Democrats to give pensioners the protection they need?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, I wish the New Democrats would have worked with us when we moved legislation to protect those pensions to which he referred. In fact, in 2009 they voted against protecting pensions by requiring companies to fully fund pension benefits on planned termination. We also ensured that pensions would be stable for those seniors and we gave pensioners more negotiating powers in their own pensions. The NDP voted against all of those pieces in that legislation.
Shipbuilding Industry
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Kelly Block Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, the national shipbuilding strategy will result in the creation of thousands of new jobs and billions in economic growth in the cities and communities all across Canada. This is an arm's-length process, independent from the government.
The leader of the official opposition is calling, at this late stage, for the government to politically intervene and provide the contract to all three shipyards that submitted bids.
Could the minister please respond to this call?
Shipbuilding Industry
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Edmonton—Spruce Grove
Rona Ambrose Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women
Mr. Speaker, our government made the historic decision to build our ships for the navy and coast guard right in Canada and that will result in the creation of 15,000 jobs annually for the next 30 years.
The decision to have two Canadian shipyards build our large ships was made in consultation with the shipyards themselves. The national shipbuilding strategy was designed to generate a competitive environment that would result in the best value for taxpayers.
I am also happy to inform the House that I met with the fairness monitor yesterday. He has submitted his final reports and has said that the decisions were made objectively, free from personal favouritism and political influence and encompass the elements of openness, competitiveness, transparency and compliance.
Search and Rescue
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Ryan Cleary St. John's South—Mount Pearl, NL
Mr. Speaker, Canada has one of the worst search and rescue response times in the world. A recent incident off Bell Island, Newfoundland showed just how bad it was.
After emergency flares were fired in the area, the Coast Guard called in a provincial ferry, full of passengers, to help the search and rescue effort. It then took the Canadian Coast Guard vessel over three hours to arrive on the scene.
This is not about a limo service from a fishing lodge; this is about human lives. How long would the minister be prepared to wait in icy water before being rescued?
Search and Rescue
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
New Brunswick
Keith Ashfield Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, the member opposite knows full well that the search and rescue system is made up of a network of potential responders that includes the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard auxiliary, the Canadian Forces and any vessel of opportunity. Any vessel within the vicinity of a search and rescue call can be asked to assist.
When the flares are discharged, the CCG will treat it as a matter of distress. If the member would like to be constructive, he would help us to take this message back to the public so that lives are not put at unnecessary risk.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Louis Plamondon Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC
Mr. Speaker, despite the recognition of Quebec as a nation, the three parties recognized in this House unanimously approved the appointment of a unilingual anglophone judge to the Supreme Court, demonstrating their lack of concern for the French language. In addition to being criticized by the public, this choice was also rejected by the Barreau du Québec, which asks the parliamentary committee tasked with examining these recommendations not to appoint the unilingual judge.
Will the Minister of Justice tell Quebeckers that he respects their language and that, as a result, his government will reconsider its decision to appoint a unilingual anglophone judge?
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, first, I should point out for the hon. member that the Supreme Court has an excellent reputation and record in facilitating both official languages of our country. I have every confidence that will continue.
The individuals whose names have been unanimously approved and recommended by the committees of the House of Commons are based on merit and legal excellence. That should be important for the hon. member as well.
Fisheries and Oceans
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
October 19th, 2011 / 3:05 p.m.
Rodney Weston Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans on the snow crab industry in the Atlantic provinces and Quebec.
I wish to acknowledge the contribution of former members of the committee, especially those who are no longer among us in the House. I would also like to thank committee members from both sides of the House for their collaboration in making this report a unanimous one. Special thanks, as well, go to the committee staff for the hard work.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the sixth report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee advises that pursuant to Standing Order 91.1(2) the Subcommittee on Private Members' Business met to consider the items on the order of precedence. As a result of its establishment on Monday, October 3, it recommended that the items listed herein, which have been determined should not be designated non-votable, be considered by the House.

Pursuant to Standing Order 91.1(2) the report is deemed adopted.

Nuclear Weapons
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Terence Young Oakville, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are well aware of the destructive power of nuclear weapons, a power that the world's worst dictators and terrorists are trying to acquire.
I would like to present to the House a petition from the Oakville chapter of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. The petition is signed by 330 residents of Oakville.
The petitioners ask the government to commit to the motion passed by the House on December 7, 2010, regarding the global disarmament of nuclear weapons.
I am happy to present this petition for a response from our government.

Artist's Statement
I seek inspiration from ordinary objects and various aspects of nature such as, rocks, the pooling of water, floating forms and the colours of the natural world. Objects that appeal to me usually reference social and historical significance. The use of materials and manner of its application expresses the artist's internal state at the time. Some works are not just the artist's observation, but also a combination of each individual viewer, a moment of shared humanity drawing the viewer into an intimate exchange. The quality of the material and the way it is utilized can also stand in for the quality of things represented. My work attempts to change the meanings of everyday objects, reevaluating or negating expected functions in order to intensify or change the viewers' perception of the work.

Ab Kya Hoga (1977)
Watching a mystery without subtitles is like...um...it's...it's a dumb idea, is what it is. Fortunately, Ness has seen it with subtitles and could help me out, and I enjoyed it for the Neetu Singa/Shatrughan Sinha jodi. It's not my favorite for her (Amitabh Bachchan is, believe it or not—I know, sacrilege) but it is my favorite for him, and for whatever reason I often like his brand of swaggering, shouty ridiculousness. Features of this film include Neetu being as good as always but in a different, more brooding and ghosty sort of way; a fantastic rip-off-mask-to-reveal-true-identity moment; helpful Ranjeet lounging on a circular bed as his shirt strains open at the buttons*;
Khooni Murdaa (1989)
The internet tells me this is a re-hash of Nightmare on Elm Street, which I have never seen because it sounds way, way, way too scary. I'm kind of grateful for Indian low-budget horror movies because I don't find them way, way, way too scary, so I can watch them without covering my eyes and thus begin to learn a little bit about the vast world of international horror films.
Mr. Romeo, a role that could hardly be more different. My favorite death in the film is the monster inhabiting someone's girlfriend and then luring the boyfriend on to a bed and making out with him before the monster/girl bites his tongue and stretches it out of his mouth, using it to tie the guy to the bed and throwing him out a window. You can learn more about Khooni Murdaa at the site of my Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit colleague Ninja Dixon.
Pyasi Chudail (1998?)
This is my favorite of the 3-in-1 horror DVD that I purchased for reasons I no longer remember (the others being Khooni Murdaa and Pyaasi Bhootni). It's the Hindi dub of a Tamil film, apparently, and has the chestnut storyline of a witch possessing an innocent bystander and using the victim to take revenge for some long-ago wrong. But no matter—it's totally entertaining for the same sort of "collection of small delights and treasures" reason that Ab Kya Hoga? is. That's a good thing, too, since the basic plot is so predictable. Look at this credit sequence. How can you not enjoy this?
|I can't remember if What's Your Rashee? includes the Chicago skyline, but if not, this film gets the honor of being the first Indian film I've seen with the Hancock Tower in it. Also, Oprah's building is the tall wavy black one on the right, so you all know where to throw eggs.
|She should probably have gloves on, but at least she's cleaning the magical amulet with a tiny paint brush instead of bleach or something.
|I'm going to make a horror film called Khooni Scrunchie.
Bombaiyer Bombete (2003) (Bengali)
Now, finally, we will have some truly mini reviews. I was just typing "This is a terrible film" when I realized that it didn't even make enough of an impression on me for that to be fair...unless you count lack of impact as terrible, which is a legitimate approach, I'd say. I have a vague recollection of thinking most of the actors didn't really seem very engaged and that the overall effect was sloppy. The plot, which loosely deals with navigating mysteries and crimes in the film world of Bombay, has no teeth.
Ekdom dekhben na. Jaachetai. Which I'm told by a top advisor is the Bengali equivalent of "Avoid, yaar," my lowest rating for a film.
A special note to those still suffering from Inspector-Rana-from-Kahaani hangovers and happy to see Parambrata Chatterjee in a Bengali film on DVD with subtitles: this is still not worth watching. He hardly speaks. Bhooter Bhobishyot is oodles better than this. Heck, even Baishe Srabon, which cured me of said hangover, is better than this, even disregarding all factors other than Parambrata.
Mirch (2010)
When I realized that the writer/director of this, Vinay Shukla, was also the writer/director of Godmother, a little lightbulb went off in my head and I was able to see in Mirch some interesting commentary on women as possessing—and even enjoying—self-directed, autonomous sexuality. Before that, though, I kept thinking of Mixed Doubles and other films that try so hard to be sexy or erotic or bold or "modern" but just end up being soooo clunky. It's like the sex in the films is a bowling ball that they insist on lugging around but repeatedly drop, barely missing your toes. There are a few moments in Mirch that are alluring, but mostly it's silly. Maybe it's supposed to be? Also, it is a catastrophic mistake to cast Arunoday Singh, whom I hear is howlarious in Jism 2, in not one but four roles, all of them supposedly as attractive and three of them as a maha studmuffin. Laughable.
On the other hand, it was great fun to ask twitter what "major studmuffin" would be in Hindi. "Chutiyatic," suggested one friend/author (get his book!). "Maha stud-bhai," said another very erudite young man.
Paan Singh Tomar (2012)
I hate to end on a downer, but all I have to say about this is that 1) Irrfan Khan has again proven himself through and through and 2) the futility of PST's story (at least as presented in the film) is so overwhelming that by the end of the film all I could do was bang my head (gently) on the wall. The character himself is at least not so depressed that he was unable to try to progress—that's quite significant, I think, his maintenance of a sort of not-entirely-thought-out and very simple effort while recognizing that life is wildly unfair, yet also somehow never being defeated by that injustice—but that's sure how I felt. If you saw this film and were left with anything other than a sense of bleakness, please tell me about your experience in the comments.
* I'm sorry the pictures are so bad. Believe me, this particular Ranjeet would make anyone's day. On that subject, when I tweeted this picture while watching the film, I was accused of being under the influence of too much Ranjeet. As if there could be such a thing.
** I can now die happy.

slept great, quiet day ahead.
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
Slept well - quiet day - dinner out tonight
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Been sleeping most the day, having a flare again..
Merry Christmas to all...
Did a little raking after going to the village hall to pick up more leaf bags
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Weather changed and made nights much much cooler, it smells autumn outside, especially when I go to sleep ans leave window a little open, just to smell the air!
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
slept ok...busy day ahead..
Slept okay, need to drop my daughter of at work, run to the post office and to the bank
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Slept a bit better but having a bad day..
Merry Christmas to all...

All states and the District of Columbia require that optometrists be licensed, which requires a Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) degree from an accredited optometry school and a passing score on both a written and clinical state board examination. Licenses are renewed every 1 to 3 years and in all states, continuing education credits are needed for renewal. The Doctor of Optometry degree is a 4 year program. Optometry programs include classroom and laboratory study of health and visual sciences, as well as clinical training in the diagnosis treatment of eye disorders. Included are courses in pharmacology, optics, vision science, biochemistry, and systemic disease. Residencies are not required to develop a specialty. Since the four-year optometry curriculum prepares graduates in all areas, a residency does not introduce but rather enhances experience in a selected area.
Admission requirements at all schools require the completion of a minimum of at least 90 semester units of college coursework; however, a Bachelor's degree may be required and is strongly recommended. Ninety percent of new entrants at most schools have obtained Bachelor's degrees. Applicants should check the specific requirements of the schools in which they have an interest. The Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) publishes Schools and Colleges of Optometry: Admission Requirements. Most students major in the sciences (biology, chemistry, etc.) because the prerequisites for optometry schools are science intensive, thought a science major is not required.
Common Components Required for Admission:
Application including personal statement
Official transcripts from all colleges attended
Official Optometry Admission Test (OAT) scores
Letters of recommendation
Optometry experience/exposure
Personal interview
The optometry schools do not participate in a centralized application service. Hence, each applicant should contact the individual schools in which they have interest. In general the schools and colleges of Optometry begin accepting applications in August and September for their classes, which begin the following August or September.
Note: Applicants for optometric study in the United States and Puerto Rico use a common application service, OptomCAS. By utilizing a common application service, prospective students file one application that can be sent to multiple schools and colleges of optometry. The Admissions and Student Affairs Office is thrilled to be a participant OptomCAS school as we strive to make the application process more efficient and convenient for you.
More information can be found here: www.optomcas.org
Course Requirements for Optometry School:
A student's academic evaluation is based upon overall GPA, science GPA, college attended, degree progress, and course load difficulty. Prerequisite admission requirements vary from school to school. Please refer to the Schools and Colleges of Optometry: Admission Requirements available for viewing at the HPAO resource library, the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) website: http://www.opted.org.
Students maintain responsibility for verifying course selection with individual optometry programs. Listed below are the prerequisite admission requirements for the 2 Optometry programs in California.

We have one insect that reminds us winter is right around the corner. Lady beetles, also known as ladybugs or ladybird beetles, are familiar insects. They are considered beneficial because they eat other insects.
However, in some places, ladybugs are so numerous they become a nuisance.
During this time of year, ladybugs start infiltrating homes in search of a place to overwinter. Large numbers of ladybugs gathering all over the house are not beneficial, especially when they start falling onto food, the bed – or you.
Two Harlem residents collaborated on a project recently after one's photos served as the inspiration for a book about the beginning of the life cycle of a cardinal.
Dealia Yancey and Ted Hood Jr. say photos taken by Hood were the inspiration for their book The Cardinal Nest: Where the Life Cycle Begins. The most difficult part of the process, they said, was paring down the nearly 3,400 photos Hood took to include just 33 in the book.
"The pictures told the story," Hood said. "All we had to do was put it into words."

|Montell Seely signs an autograph for a visitor at the 2005 Castle Valley Pageant.
Many Emery County residents watch the Castle Valley Pageant each year and attribute its success to Montell, but few realize Montell's complete dedication to preserve his ancestry.
Since 1977, Montell and his family have participated in 35 handcart treks, have obtained seven pioneer cabins and collected countless antiques, all in the name of preserving heritage.
"It is all intermingled in preserving things that our pioneer ancestors built," Montell said. "It is a way to show them our love and respect because I want to save what they had. I can't think of any other way to express that."
Montell organized his first trek in 1977 to commemorate 100 years since his ancestors had crossed the mountain and settled in Castle Valley. The excursion began in Fairview Canyon and continued across the mountain through Upper Joe's Valley and down Cottonwood Canyon.
"This trek was the beginning of modern day handcart activity in the church," Montell said.
Throughout the many treks, the Seely family has experienced "real pioneer experiences," Kathryn Seely said.
On one of their major treks they recreated the journey of their ancestors who were a part of the San Juan Mission at Hole in the Rock. They went through 250 miles of desert from Hole in the Rock to Lake Powell across the Red Sandstone Desert to Bluff.
During the recreation, the axle of their handcart broke while they were in a place where the support team, people in trucks in case of emergency, was unable to easily assist them. Mark Seely, Montell's son found a cedar tree, cut it down with his pocket knife and shaved it to fit in the hub of the wheels and used prickly pear cactus pulp to grease the wheels.
Just as they finished repairing the axle, rain clouds started forming around them. They got in their sleeping bags and waited out the stormy night. When they woke up and continued their journey, they realized the had run out of water.
The Seely's found slick rock pot holes that had filled up with fresh rain water and used that water to fill their canteens, despite the presence of water skeeters.
"We figured if the bugs weren't dead, then the water wasn't poisonous," Montell said.
This trek literally gave the Seely's a real taste of pioneer life.
"It was a 16 day journey and that was the best pioneer experience we had," said Montell. "It was real. It wasn't us pretending to play pioneer."
Montell's main act of devotion was writing and producing the Castle Valley Pageant. After asking others to write a pageant and being turned down for justifiable reasons, Montell was faced with two options: write a pageant himself or see his dreams diminish.
"I am a farmer, not a writer," said Montell. "But, I didn't want my dreams to die."
Montell wrote the pageant by compiling pioneer stories and rewriting them using dialogue. Since the first year of the Castle Valley Pageant in 1978, the pageant audience has grown from 500 in its first season to more than 20,000.
"In the beginning we had a lot of perseverance," Kathryn said. "It has been very gratifying that so many people caught the vision." The Seely's want their works in preserving their ancestor's heritage to help other generations grow close to the pioneers.
"We are hopeful that what we have started will go on from generation to generation so that our pioneer heritage will not be forgotten," Montell said. "We also hope that our children and grandchildren will develop in the bosom a love, so that our pioneer heritage will not be forgotten."
