Sean Casey Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to speak to the budget implementation act.
I am going to focus my remarks on three main areas. I am the member of Parliament for Charlottetown. Prince Edward Island is still a province, but it has been left out of this budget. I am going to focus initially on the impact of the budget on my home province. Then I am going to spend some time talking about the impact of the budget on veterans. I am the Liberal Party critic for veterans, and this budget has targeted them quite unfairly. Then I am going to talk about old age security. As members know, last night we had a debate in the House on my private member's motion with respect to old age security, and the budget effectively kills it.
The impact of this budget on Canada's smallest and nicest province is devastating. We feel left out. The Department of Veterans Affairs is the only federal government department that has its national headquarters outside the national capital region. Its headquarters are in Prince Edward Island. At the Department of Veterans Affairs, 232 jobs will be cut, partly as a result of this budget and partly as a result of what the Department of Veterans Affairs calls its transformation agenda. I will comment more on that later. The impact of those budget cuts in a province like Prince Edward Island and in a city like Charlottetown is devastating. It affects the entire community.
Prince Edward Island does not have oil in the ground. It does not have a manufacturing sector. We have a seasonal economy. The number of well-paying jobs is not what it is in other centres and to gut the public service, as this budget does, unfairly singles out our province. However, it is worse than that. It is not bad enough to cut the jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs, but Prince Edward Island will now be one of only two provinces in this country where EI claims are not processed, because the government has closed the EI processing centre in Montague. Again, more well-paying civil service jobs are being lifted out of our economy. Prince Edward Island is now one of the few places in this country where, if people want to talk to someone about their immigration issues, they will be out of luck because the immigration office in Prince Edward Island will close as a result of this budget. Prince Edward Island is the only province in this country where people cannot get a passport processed. If they want to get a passport processed, they have to go to Halifax or Fredericton.
Infrastructure is very important, particularly in my riding of Charlottetown. There are two very significant infrastructure projects right now that are in dire need. One is a storm sewer separation project. The storm sewer system and the sewage system are one, so every time we get a heavy rainfall, the bypass has to come through because the volume is too great to go into the waste water treatment facility in Charlottetown. As a result, untreated sewage pours into the Charlottetown harbour every time there is a heavy rainfall. This is an $18 million problem. It is a serious problem. It desperately affects those who depend on the oyster fishery in and around Charlottetown.
The City of Charlottetown and the Province of Prince Edward Island have stepped up to solve this problem. They have kicked in. The City of Charlottetown has repeatedly made representations to the federal government to have it cost share in the project. Basically what it has been told is maybe in 2014. This is something for which there is a dire need, and it is nowhere to be found in the budget.
Also on the subject of infrastructure, we are in a situation in our city where we are using more than 90% of the available drinking water from the source that we have in the Winter River basin. We need a new source of water. It is a matter of public safety.
Prince Edward Island is one of the only provinces that is 100% dependent on groundwater for its potable water. We need to develop a new well field. One has been identified. There is a need for infrastructure funds for that. Again, it is the city and the province that have stepped up and the federal government is nowhere to be found. There is nothing for that in the budget.
We have this dearth of public services in the province, and the rationale we continually hear from the Conservatives is that they are streamlining and modernizing, doing all these things in the back office, that they need to depend more on technology, yet they have cut the community access program. They have cut the CAP sites. Those who cannot afford a computer, those who do not own a computer, are out of luck. The CAP sites will close as a result of the cuts in the budget.
Prince Edward Island has 140,000 people. Last year, CAP sites were accessed more than 80,000 times. They are necessary. They are used, but thanks to this budget, they will be gone.
Veterans Affairs and the veterans of this country once again have been shortchanged in the budget. The party line is that veterans benefits have not been touched. That is what we hear the Conservatives say, that all of the savings supposedly have been found in the back office in reducing red tape.
The budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs is $3.5 billion, and 90% of that budget is paid out as veterans benefits. That leaves $350 million to run the department. The cut this year is $36 million. We will hear the Conservatives say that they have spared veterans, that the cut to the department was only 1%, $36 million on $3.5 billion, when in actual fact the cost to run the department has been slashed by 10%.
Way back when, we know that every federal government department was asked to submit a 5% plan and a 10% plan. We hear the Conservatives say that veterans have been spared. Spared? In actual fact, the Conservatives could not have swung a heavier axe. Given the choice between a 5% cut and a 10% cut, they took the 10%.
Make no mistake, veterans will be affected. We cannot believe for a minute that veterans are going to receive the same service when 800 employees are being cut from the department.
I see that I am running short on time, so I will sum up by saying that Prince Edward Island is an equal partner in Confederation, but as a result of this budget, it certainly does not feel that way.
I would urge all hon. members to vote against the budget, and to urge the government to afford fair-handed treatment to all regions of the country.

Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, Prince Edward Island is an important tourism destination, and tourism is an important part of its economy. Many small businesses welcome people from all over the world to see the great things that the island has to offer, including its wonderful environment, the ocean life and also some of the historic and cultural sites.
The Canadian Tourism Commission brings international tourists to Canada. It had its budget cut by 20%. We have now found out that visits by international tourists have declined by 15% since 2006. Under the Conservative government's watch, fewer international tourists come to Canada to spend money.
What will the effect be on Prince Edward Island of the government's policies to strangle the tourism industry with extra visas, cutting the GST rebate, cutting funding for the Canadian Tourism Commission, high airport taxes and fees, and other policies that are killing our tourism industry?

Sean Casey Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, the three biggest industries in Prince Edward Island are tourism, agriculture and the fisheries. It has a population of 140,000 and gets one million visitors a year.
While civil service jobs are extremely important to our economy twelve months of the year, the engine that drives the seasonal economy is very much the tourism trade. As I indicated, basically our population goes almost ten-fold. The summer in Prince Edward Island is not really long and that is when we see the bulk of people. The cruise ship industry is one of the success stories in Prince Edward Island.
Anything in the budget that has a negative impact on tourism is yet another blow to a province that has been treated very unfairly in the budget.

Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about Bill C-38.
I am sad because this bill is worse than any other this Parliament has debated, and that is for two reasons.
First, without consulting Canadians, the government chose to introduce sweeping changes to many laws that affect environmental, social and economic aspects of Canadian life. This approach is illegitimate and outrageous. The process is unacceptable and an offence to true democracy.
Second, beyond the process that is so offensive, the bill that purports to be a budget bill is, in substance, something quite different. The substance of the changes is equally alarming.
Laws this bad take some explanation. As I have sat through the truncated debate on this process at second reading, what we have had are presentations from the Conservative MPs providing lists of things they like in the legislation, and presentations from the opposition benches providing lists of things we do not like in the legislation. That leaves out a big piece of the puzzle.
We have also been confusing measures that are a budget measures that are not in Bill C-38, things like fighting the deficit. There are things we do not like, like killing the Centre for Plant Health in my own riding, which is necessary to protect the health of the economy, particularly in the grape growing regions and wineries, and killing jobs in national parks, again in my riding of Saanich—Gulf Islands, the Gulf Islands National Park jobs in ecological work.
However, again, these are not in Bill C-38. The debate has been combatting lists. We like this and we hate this.
I want to step back and try to understand what is going on here. Why do we have this enormous package of measures, most of the substantial changes being those that unravel environmental law in our country?
I have been involved in the development of most of the laws that we now see being unravelled, particularly the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy Act. What I see behind all this is a shift in mindset.
I worked in the Mulroney government. The Progressive Conservatives understood that conserving involved conserving the environment. This is not necessarily the current mindset of the current brand of conservatism, which I find alien from the traditions and roots of people like former fisheries ministers John Fraser and Tom Siddon. Both have spoken out against the devastating changes to the protection of fish habitat in Bill C-38 and the unintended consequences that this will surely have.
This mindset reminds me most of what the former senior economist to the World Bank, Herman Daly, used to describe as "treating the earth as a business in liquidation", an everything must go mentality and it must be done fast. He offered the opposite view. He said that we needed to understand that the economy was a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment, that these things were not in conflict and that it was so wrong-headed to say that we would only get jobs if we destroyed the environment. It boggles the mind.
When we understand that this is the way this entire omnibus budget bill has been prepared, then it begins to make sense. Then we understand the narrative and then we can understand that someone in the PMO picked up the phone, called the Department of Justice or maybe just sent an email, said that it should find all those things for which the federal government is responsible for the environment and find ways to withdraw from them to the maximum extent possible without offending constitutional requirements to protect such things as migratory birds, because we have a convention with the U.S., or fisheries, because that is in the Constitution.
For example, there is no other way to understand why the Conservatives repealed the Environmental Assessment Act and put in place an entirely new act. Most of what we have heard is that they wanted to have timely assessments. I do not think there would be much debate over that.
In 2005 I proposed to the minister of the environment that in order to get a review of the proposed cleanup at the Sydney tar ponds, which itself presented risks, a timeline would be a good idea. In fact, a 12-month timeline was put in place for the joint review panel of the cleanup proposed for the Sydney tar ponds back in 2005. That could be done under the existing legislation. We do not need to repeal the act and start over.
To all these complaints, the Conservatives claim that industry was demanding this be done, I have in front of me a briefing note from the Mining Association of Canada from January of this year in which it praises the current process under Environmental Assessment Review. It says, "the amendments that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act made in 2010 were implemented quickly and competently by the agency" and it has "provided mining project proponents with relief". It says that for the first time "provincial and federal assessments are synchronized". This is from the Mining Association of Canada, allegedly one of the interest groups for whom the Conservative government is destroying all of our environmental laws. The Mining Association of Canada says, "our primary interest in the review of the Environmental Assessment Act is to convey support for the new system brought in...and to renew funding for the Environmental Assessment Agency".
It is critical to understand that the government did not have to repeal the Environmental Assessment Act in order to have a process that worked for all the players. It looks as though this desperate attempt to be in a hurry is where the problem lies. What the government has done is so egregious. The Environmental Assessment Act being repealed and replaced with a whole new scheme that will never get proper review through the process we have in an omnibus project.
The Conservatives are removing what had always been a federal trigger for a proper environmental assessment, if federal money was being spent. That is no longer there. They are removing comprehensive studies. They are no longer there.
There is no real definition of what an environmental assessment would be. We have a reference in the budget document to something called a "standard environmental assessment", but Bill C-38 has removed all definitions of what the process would look like.
Killing the comprehensive studies and creating panels that can be substituted with the province without criteria, in my view, would have the industry coming to government asking what it had done as the process had worked pretty well. In fact, the Mining Association of Canada says, "very well". Now we will not know what project has to go to review or what project does not, when we go to the province or when we do not.
At the same time, in order to unravel the federal responsibilities that trigger an environmental assessment, the government has created a crazy scheme for fisheries. It still requires a permit to add substances "deleterious" to fish, but the protections for fish habitat have been removed.
This means, and as we all know this is a real-life example, that if one wanted to have a large-scale project, for instance, to put tailings into an existing lake, we would be better off, if the lake were in a remote area where no one fishes, to drain the whole lake, kill all the fish and destroy the habitat because that would be legal without an authorization. Whereas adding substances "deleterious" to fish into a lake currently would require authorization. This is the ultimate example of haste makes waste.
The bill has not properly contemplated the changes to the Fisheries Act, the Environmental Assessment Act, or the changes to the Species at Risk Act. The bill is out of control through the false notion that we will create jobs through waste and haste.
I remind people that it is now 20 years since the Westray disaster in which 26 men died. There was no environmental review at that time, as it was back in 1988 when the project was approved, but there were warnings. The experts in the department of mines said that the area was too high in methane, but no, the local politicians and some federal politicians wanted those jobs. They wanted them so badly that they overrode expert advice. They said that they had to get that Westray mine built come hell or high water, that they would do it and that they did not want to hear complaints about causes or what might happen to get in the way. Therefore, federal money flowed. We created a bomb and put men in it, and 26 men died.
Now we are creating another kind of bomb. The first speaker on the bill was not the Minister of Finance, but the Minister of Natural Resources who brought forward all the reasons to change the scheme. He said that we must hurry as there was no time to waste. He quoted from the International Energy Agency on the current state of fossil fuel requirements around the world, but he never quoted the warning from the International Energy Agency that if we did not act on the climate crisis, it would soon be too late. The quote from the International Energy Agency from earlier this year is this, "Delaying action is a false economy. As each year passes without clear signals to drive investment in clean energy, the 'lock-in' of high-carbon infrastructure is making it harder and more expensive to meet our energy security and climate goals". We must change direction. This bill is putting pedal to the medal to go as fast as possible to a very large brick wall.
Going back to the bomb we built for the men at Westray, we are now building a climate bomb, a carbon bomb. The proposed legislation is so wrong-headed it must be withdrawn in its entirety.

Robert Aubin Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, for the past 10 minutes, I listened to my colleague as she tried to describe this omnibus bill in as much detail as possible. Providing a carefully considered opinion about a 400-page bill in just 10 minutes is practically impossible. It is an incredible tour de force.
She talked about attacks on democracy and on institutions and spoke at length about the environment. However, she did not say much about the actual budget.
I would like to ask her if she thinks that this omnibus bill introduced by the Conservative government has been deliberately designed to orient the debate away from the government's economic vision. Is the government trying to distract us with dozens of other things, all of which, unfortunately, are important? We should have a chance to focus on each of these issues individually in the House.

Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I completely agree with my friend.
It is true that some bills are too short, such as Bill C-36, which is only four paragraphs long. It is a very serious process. It is an important bill to protect seniors, yet it is a very small bill.
In stark contrast, here we have an omnibus bill that is over 400 pages long that fundamentally changes over 70 pieces of legislation and in which everything is hidden. This is because the Prime Minister knows that it is not a good bill.

Walk So Kids Can Talk
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Brad Butt Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, May 6, along with hundreds of great supporters and volunteers, I attended the Walk So Kids Can Talk event in Streetsville Memorial Park supporting Kids Help Phone. This walk raised more than $150,000 in Streetsville and $2.5 million nationally.
Walk So Kids Can Talk is held in over 40 communities across Canada and helps kick off Mental Health Awareness Week, which is concluding this weekend. Kids Help Phone is Canada's leading phone and online professional counselling service for youth. For more than 23 years, professional counsellors have been available to youth 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is funded exclusively through fundraising and corporate support, such as the millions raised at last Sunday's walk. Unfortunately, one in five youth will develop mental heath struggles, but of those, only one in five will receive the support he or she needs.
I would like to congratulate the team at Kids Help Phone and thank them for being there to listen to our youth, often at times when no one else will.

Robert Aubin Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the owners of the Café Morgane chain in Trois-Rivières, Suzanne and Guy Marcotte, on a wonderful initiative. In partnership with Duguay properties as well as InnovaTek and GRIDbot Canada, this week Café Morgane opened the first electric car charging station in Canada, under the banner "Puissance verte" or green power.
Unsurprisingly, travel by electric car requires occasional stopovers to recharge the battery. What better time to stop and have a coffee, read a book or—why not—even plan a business meeting? The recharging station will become the cornerstone of a new way of life.
With that in mind, Puissance verte is already developing virtual tools in order to make it easier for electric car owners to plan their travels. The innovative people at Puissance verte are also working on a residential version of the charging terminal, which will be assembled here in Canada, in Mauricie.
Founded in 1992, Café Morgane now has over 120 employees working at 11 locations. The firm is one of the most credible businesses in Mauricie. I doff my hat deeply to—

Human Trafficking in Peel Region
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Stella Ambler Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to call attention to a serious problem in the Peel region of the greater Toronto area. It is a cause for great sadness and concern among my constituents in Mississauga South, as well as other residents of Peel region, to know that human trafficking is being carried on there.
This government takes this problem very seriously. I am glad to know that in 2007 this Conservative government allocated funding to theMinister of Public Safety to combat child exploitation and trafficking. In 2009, the Minister of Public Safety established a program to increase awareness and to inform Canadians. The RCMP has a human trafficking national coordination centre to combat and disrupt human trafficking in Canada, but still it is my understanding that Canada is a primary destination for human trafficking from other parts of the world. There is still much to be done to eliminate this horrible crime.
Environmental Sensitivities
Statements By Members
May 11th, 2012 / 11 a.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker,I rise today to draw the attention of the House to environmental sensitivities, a health issue that affects the quality of life of over a million Canadians.
Environmental sensitivities occur when individuals become sensitive to chemicals and other substances in the air that are commonly tolerated, resulting in a multitude of often severe symptoms that can be devastating to those affected.
The Environmental Health Association of Québec does outstanding advocacy work that includes creating awareness campaigns about air quality, providing educational resources on this phenomenon and, most recently, constructing a healthy housing project, which makes available to those with severe sensitivities a living space free of toxins.
On behalf of the association, I am asking the government to support those suffering from environmental sensitivities by working to declare the month of May in Canada environmental sensitivities month and May 12 environmental sensitivities day.
Falun Gong
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Brent Rathgeber Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, Falun Gong practitioners promote the cultivation of mind and body and encompass the universal principles of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. However, the Falun Gong are persecuted ruthlessly. In China, freedom of belief is non-existent, and the Falun Gong are subject to arbitrary arrest, torture, lack of medical attention and, most disturbing, live organ harvesting.
I am proud to serve as the chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Falun Gong, and as such I spoke at a rally on Parliament Hill on Wednesday that was attended by hundreds of Falun Gong observers. The Parliamentary Friends of Falun Gong call on the Chinese government to put an end to the ongoing persecution of the Falun Gong. Falun Gong are peaceful, law-abiding citizens, and there is no excuse for the human rights violations they have endured.
As the great civil rights leader Martin Luther King said 50 years ago, "Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals". I am inspired by the passion, the sacrifice and the struggle exemplified by the practitioners of Falun Gong.
Events in Scarborough Southwest
Statements By Members

Dan Harris Scarborough Southwest, ON
Mr. Speaker, one year later, the honour and privilege of representing the people of Scarborough Southwest, this vibrant and diverse community that my family has called home for over 80 years, is even greater than it was.
Last weekend I attended the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13's 90th anniversary in the community and thanked them again for their continued service to our veterans. It was a treat also to go to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tea, put on by the local osteoporosis society.
Over the coming months I look forward to the many wonderful local events. I look forward to the 100th anniversary of Courcelette Public School later this month. That is 100 years of teaching our kids. This summer, many weddings will take place at Rosetta McClain Gardens and many family events in Bluffers Park. There is Art in the Park, Birchmount baseball, many festivals and fairs by local schools and BIAs, and farmers' markets too.
I am very proud to be the MP for Scarborough Southwest and humbled by the continued trust of my constituents.
Events in Brantford
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Phil McColeman Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is springtime in Brantford, and I am excited to tell the House that whether one is a local, a tourist, or just passing through, my riding has something exciting to offer this wonderful season.
The Brantford Red Sox kick off their 2012 season tomorrow and begin their drive for five as they seek to tie their own record and become the second team in Intercounty Baseball League history to win five consecutive championships since 1945. Soon after, we will kick off the sixth annual Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament, which holds the record for the largest ball hockey tournament in the world, with participants showcasing their hockey skills in a vibrant, friendly competition.
Events kick off in our beautiful downtown Harmony Square and at the breathtaking and historic Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts, which will host the fifth annual Brantford International Jazz Festival later this summer.
With all of this and so much more, I invite all Canadians to come and take part. I guarantee they will have a blast.

What are Brad Smith's chances with Bills now?
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2013 8:53AM
With the news that Buffalo Bills wide receiver Brad Smith has renegotiated his contract, that obviously increases his odds of making the 53-man roster in 2013. Just because he renegotiated his contract however, it doesn't mean safety is guaranteed just yet.
Looking at the wide receiver position, there seem to be four locks for the roster. Stevie Johnson, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and T.J. Graham all are most likely going to take up the first four spots on the wideout depth chart.
Past the initial four names though, there are four names likely fighting for two spots. With as many young, enigmatic receivers as the Bills have, it's probably a safe bet that the team keeps six spots for the position.
Along with Smith, Da'Rick Rogers, Chris Hogan and Marcus Easley will be in competition for those two spots.
However, Rogers is the clear cut favorite to land one of the spots. With all off-the-field concerns considered, he has clear physical talent that the other three listed simply do not have. As long as he keeps his head on straight during training camp, he should be a good bet to make it on to the roster.
The sixth spot then comes down to Smith, Hogan and Easley. With due respect to the fans that are still holding out hope on Easley's potential, he's the hidden man of the competition at this point. Unless he really comes out and performs at a high level, he's got an uphill climb to make the roster outright.
That means it comes down to the recently renegotiated Smith, and the former
Hard Knocks
star Hogan. During spring practices, Hogan seemed to outperform Smith -- but that was without the physicality that a normal training camp practice would present.
Smith has a clear advantage over Hogan in part because the latter still has practice squad eligibility. As long as they can sneak him past waivers, he could become the 7th man of the receiver group but just not on the active roster.
Combine that with the renegotiated deal, it could be too much for Hogan to overcome. It certainly looks now like Smith is a favorite to make the roster, but don't book it just yet.

Posted in Antenna Update |
ClearStream 5 Antenna Tested and Approved by TV Technology
An editor of TV Technology, James E. O'Neal describes a story that is similar to many of our customers. He was looking for a high power, easy to assemble antenna that would provide clear reception for channels that broadcast in high VHF that may be more than 65+ miles away.
Our ClearStream 5 High Gain VHF Antenna was up to O'Neal's challenge in his country home outside of Washington DC. Here is how he describes his experience from the antenna installation to performance:
The C5 consists of two pieces—a more or less rectangular "loop" with a small box at the bottom sporting an output connector. The other member is similar to the "loop" but is in the form of a sideways "H" affixed to a mesh element that is obviously a reflector, but one that seems more in keeping with what you'd find on a UHF bowtie rig. The hardware supplied consisted of screws, washers, spacers, and U-bolts for mast mounting. There was also a V/U combiner (diplexer) in a nice weatherproof enclosure.
I parked it on the den floor, and with just a little tweaking and shimming, the game reappeared—solid as a rock. The height AGL was now only about three feet. This is one remarkable antenna.
Rather than retreat to the attic, I left the unit on the floor and viewed the remainder of the game. When it ended (my college team won), I uncabled things and journeyed to the attic hatchway. On a hunch, I elected not to take the C5 apart, and found that it easily fit through the 23×29-inch hatch opening.
The C5 is now mounted alongside my bow-tie array and performs very nicely.

Love It!!!READ KATHRYN C.'s review below. Very informative and thourogh. Helped me purchase this product!!
Recently, due to a thyroid problem, my hair began falling out and turned very dry and brittle. I've always had fine, thin hair, and it became much worse than normal. This product is AMAZING. It makes my hair so soft and gives it more body and smells yummy!! I love the leave-in "Silk" treatment. A little does go a long way so if you have hair like mine, use very little on the scalp and focus more on the ends. The price is so worth it, too!! I've spent so much money trying to find the right product to help heal and preserve the hair I have left and this is certainly it!!! Fyi--at Target, you can buy a 12oz bottle of the silk treatment for $39.99. The same size bottle comes in a 3pc set with the shampoo and conditioner for $24.99!!

Hair And Skin !!I am 63 years of age and my hair and skin thrive on this. I have a small bottle that has lasted 2 and a half years...a little goes a long way. Also use a tiny dab under the eyes where the skin is so fragile, it works wonders !!! The smell is fantastic, too! Used immediately after a shower and shampoo it nourishes where it is supposed to. I love love love this product, it is actually better on my face than Oil of Olay , and better on my hair than Argan Oil.!!!Mar 25, 2014Christine / MichiganHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Just Started Using It...amazingI have lots of naturally wavy/curly hair that is fine and suffers from dryness because it's very long...in fact, it's been looking sort of rough and rigid. I have searched and searched for the perfect hair product that will hydrate and nourish my hair, without making it oily. This stuff is it. Of course, my newly growing hair will get oily faster than the ends of my hair because that is where my scalp is, but to avoid risking that area getting oily faster I have a SUPER SIMPLE technique:
1. wet hair and wash with a half-dollar size of shampoo, only around scalp area
2. rinse, allowing shampoo to go over rest of hair just enough to clean
3. then lather in enough conditioner to the older parts of hair that aren't close to your scalp
4. rub it in REALLY good. Like, bunch up your older hair and "scrub" it together
5. let sit for a few minutes and then rinse out.
P.S. hairstylists suggest this technique! If you have hair like mine, this will definitely work and you should get Biosilk Moisture Therapy. It makes your hair less stiff, moreshiny, and more SOFT. Just after one use my mom, my boyfriend, and I all noticed a big change in the silkiness of my hair.Sep 6, 2013Kathryn C. / United StatesHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Long HairI had short hair and have been trying to find something to make it grow. I finally did, I found 100 % Extra Virging olive oil on your scalp every other day makes it grow super fast and long. Now I needed something to make the rest of my hair nourished and shiny so a co worker had the most luxurious hair and she said she used Biosilk. I couldn't believe it because I had used a bit in the past, but I guess I didn't know how to use it and quickly became discouraged and stopped using the product and I think I even threw it away. Now I went out and bought a small bottle at Target. It was like 13.99. I started using it on the weekend just in case my hair would come out ugly. It worked. I put it on my wet hair, sectioned it, blow dryed it, and put HOT ROLLERS by CONAIR on my hair. My hair is stunning and I get so many compliments.Mar 4, 2013Rosie / Monterey ParkHAIR TYPEBlack / Oily Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Good But Not GreatThis product is OKAY. It does make my hair look more sleek and maybe a little softer but nothing dramatic. A little bit does go a long way though with this product. If you put too much on it makes your hair look greasy and I already have oily hair so this is not what I am looking for. For that reason, I am not very fond of this product.Jan 3, 2013Dani / New YorkHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair

BffBiosilk has been my good friend for several years. It has kept my 64-year-old flyaways at bay, helped tame the frizzies, and made my color-abused & heat damaged hair look better than I deserve. It's easy to use on wet or dry hair and doesn't make my hair feel oily. It also makes my hair feel soft and gives some added shine. I learned early on to follow the directions very closely -- if you use too much you will wind up washing your hair again two hours after you washed it in the first place. More is NOT better. More is just more and will make your hair look crappy++. As far as the cost....I bought a 5.64 oz. bottle 3-4 years ago for about $10 (it's more now). The bottle is less than half full (I use it 2-3 time a week -- the dime-size amount or less each time). So projecting that out, assuming the same rate of use, I should be able to finish the bottle in another 3-4 years. So it's cost me about $1.25 per year. I can certainly live with that for such positive results. This is one of the few hair products that has actually made a difference in how my hair looks and feels.

So Not What I Expected.....I tried this only because a hairdresser friend gave it to me for free, to try. I would never spend $15.00 on it simply because I had been using, for a long time, John Freida Frizz Ease, it that's always worked just great. So anyway....I took the Bio Silk home with me and used it for a week. Sorry, but this in no way compares to Frizz Ease. Not for me, anyway. I have very thin, very curly and VERY frizzy hair. This does nothing for it. I will be sticking with my Frizz Ease.Nov 11, 2012SherriHAIR TYPEAuburn / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Only Used This As A Temporary Fix While On Vacation, But Now I Use It Everyday!I was on vacation in California visiting my grandma and had forgotten my styling products at home (for the most part I use Bumble & Bumble). When I told her about it she said "Oh I get lot's of free product samples, so just rummage through the cabinets and you should find something." So I look, and found this! When I used it on my dry curly hair, it wasn't super spectacular, but it was good. It was when I used it after showering and was trying to straighten my hair that I fell in love. I normally have very frizzy, curly hair. Oily at the scalp, dry at the tips. I was a bit cautious because the bottle didn't say whether it could be used as a heat-protectant type thing, but I decided to give it a go. I first GENTLY towel dried my hair. Then I shook the bottle (it says to do so) and squeezed out about a dime-sized amount. I applied to my hair starting at the ends and working my way to the top, and then combing it through. Then using a round boar bristle brush, and a Babyliss blow dryer (with a a concentrator attachment), I blow dried my hair piece by piece. The result was amazing! My hair literally BOUNCED by the time I was done! When my friends saw me they couldn't stop talking about it! To show you what I'm talking about I attached some pictures. Though I gotta tell you, they do not do it justice! (Also, please ignore the roots and frizzy ends, I'm going to my stylist tomorrow :P)Jun 22, 2012MeganHAIR TYPEBlonde / Oily Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Recent days have been awesome for those slot redfish near 25 inches.
Been using crank baits near the grass in lower Galveston bay.
Ripping that bait near the surface, these fish are all over it.
Bait by Mann or H2O Express in chartruse or black been the best. No deeper than 3 inches with a vertical lip.
Bass fisherman continue to show us old salts new methods with the same results.
Add this to your overcrowded tackle box or lose something.............
Be sure and buy more than one....................especially if I,m along................
god bless

Skip to comments.Ninth Circuit: The Second Amendment guarantees the right to carry a gun in public
Posted on 02/13/2014 2:27:31 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Via Gabe Malor, whos already found the tastiest chestnuts in the opinion. The novelty here isnt the ruling itself but the court issuing it. Its the Ninth Circuit, which has jurisdiction over the west coast and typically leans left thanks to liberal all-stars like Stephen Reinhardt. (He wasnt part of the panel that heard this one, thankfully.) With todays ruling, the Ninth joins the Seventh in holding that the Second Amendment, just as it says, includes a right to bear arms. States can regulate that right but they cant ban it altogether. Three other federal appellate courts have ruled the other way, all but guaranteeing that SCOTUS will end up deciding this sooner rather than later. Memo to the Courts conservatives: Grant cert ASAP, please, before Obama gets another appointment.
The particular statute at issue here was San Diegos law banning concealed carry. The only way to get a permit there is to show a unique risk of harm. Wanting to carry a gun for self-defense without showing a special need isnt good enough. The Supreme Courts Heller ruling six years ago already guaranteed the right to possess a gun at home, so the question today was whether limiting carry to ones own household is a permissible state regulation of the right to bear arms or an impermissible outright prohibition. Given the text of the Amendment, says the Ninth Circuit, the answer is obvious:
If, as the Supremes found in Heller, the Second Amendment is ultimately a right of self-defense then its goofy to think that the right can be limited to ones own home. If anything, the ability to defend yourself is more urgent when youre not protected by four walls. A little more from the majoritys conclusion:
You can ban open carry or you can ban concealed carry but you cant ban carry entirely without completely depriving people of their right to bear.
Heres the opinion. A history lesson on Americas long jurisprudential tradition of defending the right to carry begins on page 23; brush up for the next time someone on the left insists that these activist conservative courts have gone rogue in defending gun rights. Big question now: Will this ruling survive? It was heard by a three-judge panel, as is custom for appellate cases. But the entire Ninth Circuit can request an en banc hearing of 11 judges, a majority of whom might be liberal, to reconsider it. Probably doesnt matter either way. This issue is headed to the Supreme Court no matter what the Ninth does.
Exit question: Wendy Open Carry Davis must be thrilled at the news, no?
Take that OButthead!
Must be from the Onion or Peoples Cube. The 9th circus made this ruling? Something in the drinking water?
The Abortion Barbie, Wendy Davis, is probably too busy dismembering babies to take time to castigate this ruling. She is NOT pro-gun, no matter WHAT she says. Nor is she pro-life, as she now asserts. She is simply trying to out-lie Hussein Obama!
NHL playoffs will be held in Hell this year.
It is time for CA and HI residence to apply.
Flood the issuing agencies with permit request. Consider this shall issued.
Do so before there is stay or stay pending appeal.
Let's hope that SCOTUS doesn't overturn their decision - you know, just out of habit.
The Ninth Circus must be chugging vodka ... no way they'd issue a sane ruling like this if they were sober.
Was considered obvious and normal when I grew up.
Odd that it took a judicial decision to arrive at the obvious.
I do notice that the seen to believe that police provide us protection and that "gun violence" is an issue........... Blah, blah, blah. They obviously don't know a whole lot since other courts have already declared that the cops have NO responsibility to protect individuals. Period. They also apparently don't know or don't want to know that "gun violence" is declining even with the HUGE increase of private firearms ownership. All in all though I consider it a plus for pro 2a folks.
Just so we are clear, that was the ((9th)) Circuit???
OMG!- a pig just flew by my second story window.
Uh, which day were they sober? (maybe they all have 'scrips for some of that there medicinal mary jane.)
As far as I know you CANNOT get a permit to carry in NY State PERIOD. (And by 'carry' I mean to carry on your person as a general thing versus carry to the gun range or some such rubbish.
We used to take rifles and shotguns to school so that we could hunt on the way home or do some plinking. And I'm not as old as you think.
Is this satire? Maybe from The Onion? Did pigs fly when the 9th Circuit issued this finding?
I would still point out that the Constitution doesn't grant me any rights, it only enumerates them. I was born with those rights and I don't even acknowledge a cour'ts authority to rule on the matter.
They got glasses, or a large-type version of the Constitution.
The same was true in all of the densely-populated counties in CA right up until this morning, and it will still be true for as long as politicians can stall.
Two questions:
1. Did the court give San Diego a deadline to conform?
2. Sooner or later this is going to lead to the issue of how non-residents can carry. Any thoughts on that?
LOL! Just cause it's in LARGE PRINT don't improve their comprehension "skills". Had to be something in the water. Was it a full panel review? Were all the judges represented in the decision/ruling that was handed down? If not, can "someone" appeal it and ask for the full panel to review the decision/ruling?
9th Circuit! can you believe it? perhaps they are tired of having their rulings overturned...
It doesn't matter to me what the Supreme Political Hack Court says on this issue. I can read and will keep and bear arms.
The catch is that Arms can be effectively eliminated through regulations. And the courts have ruled that the state has the right to Infringe on the right to bear arms by using regulations. Even though "Shall Not be Infringed" is pretty darn clear.
John Semens, your craptire is bilgePissWater compared to real news like this.
The Ninth??? Is this from The Onion?
That is NYC. It is still possible to get a carry permit in NY State (for now):

We used to take rifles and shotguns to school
Was pretty common in the 50s. We'd see long guns and pistols in holsters being carried and worn by high school kids leaving school or walking down a road on their way to a friendly ranch or a nearby canyon. This was in Monterey, California.
The only interest was from a friendly police officer who wanted to check out the various guns the kids had and remind them of gun safety, not to shoot toward the highway or cattle etc.
From the 9th Circuit, will wonders never cease.
This is like a shot between the eyes to gun grabbers.
Bloomberg wept.
Our police department in Chino was made up of veterans and retired military for the most part and was rather large for a town of 10,000 people, but, of course, we had a prison just down the road.
And yer doggie better run like hell . . .

Yep. It is amazing how the government and the legal "experts" come up with all of the crap laws that very certainly infringe on our Rights. Glad they had there reading glasses on when they reviewed this one.
I don't think that would work. It's not like this is homosexual marriage or something.
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.
***But a clock going in reverse tells the right time far more than that.
I expect the Governor and AG of California to behave exactly as the Governor and AG of Maryland did when they were dealt the same hand by a Federal court ordering them to make some provision for concealed carry. They will simply say they will not abide by the ruling. A promise they kept, BTW.
On August 11, 1986, President Ronald Reagan nominated O'Scannlain to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit vacated by Judge Robert Boochever. O'Scannlain was confirmed by the Senate on September 25, 1986, and received his commission on September 26, 1986.
On February 12, 2003, Callahan was nominated by President George W. Bush to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Her Senate confirmation hearing was on May 7, 2003. On May 22, 2003, she was confirmed by a 99-0 vote.

Bad Signing Loses Primary Reasoning
Jeff Veillette
August 03 2013 10:45AM
There's a grocery list of reasons to not like Tyler Bozak being in Toronto for five more years at 4.2 million dollars per. He's nearly incapable of scoring without Phil Kessel, the penalty kill improved when he was given fewer minutes, his possession stats below average, his faceoff advantage is negligible at best, he's the least productive player on his line by a mile, he's the least productive top-end faceoff taker in the league, he quantifiably has less chemistry with Kessel than the bulk of the competing Leafs centres over the years and several defencemen, and he cut his hair. I could keep going, but that's for another day.
Lets look on the bright side today. They kept Phil Kessel's best friend! After all, it doesn't matter how good you are if you keep the star player happy, right? Pay the man what he wants and let objectively better players go to stay under the salary cap. You're happy to have your best friend on the team back, right Phil?
As Mikhail Grabovski would say,... [expletive]
Eh, seems like he likes Bozak well enough.
The tweet Kessel gave out is more compelling evidence than this interview.
@PKessel81: "My buddy is back leaf nation"
Yeah I wonder why everybody talks about you and Bozak being buddies, Phil.
I have a lot of buddies too. I worked with my buddies Matt and Jordan at Wendys in high school, but they weren't my best friends, nor did I feel the need to quit my job when they moved on.
August 03 2013, 12:57PM
I don't think that Jeff is suggesting the Leafs should have kept MacArthur because he's Kessel's friend. I think the assertion is that keeping Bozak in part because he's perceived to be Kessel's best bud is a stupid way to build a hockey team.
They should have kept MacArthur because he's a damn good hockey player.
@Cam Charron
Yeah that's what I pulled from it. Signing Bozak was good at 3m. I liked to think in my own little world that the extra they are paying him is to help hold onto Kessel...
August 03 2013, 01:11PM
Yeah that's what I pulled from it. Signing Bozak was good at 3m. I liked to think in my own little world that the extra they are paying him is to help hold onto Kessel...
Bozak may have some value at a little less than that. I think he's an above-average 3C, but there's limited proof of that.
I would have taken him off the Leafs because he's married to Kessel on the first line, which drags down the production of that entire unit. It's just time for them to move on.
I think the Bozak signing had more to do with the Grabovski/Carlyle situation than Kessel and Bozak being friends.
The time to move on was July 5th. Too late for that now. Leafs always need a horrible contract to fill a spot in the most hated role.
Franson..... Great.
Dude, you are a dreadful writer. What is the point of this article?
Isn't it time we give the Bozak bashing a rest? Let's look on the bright side. He hasn't peaked as a players yet, just really entering his 4th full season now, he does a lot of good things both offensively and defensively. He will be replaced as 1C by Kadri probably within the next couple of seasons. Bozak as a 2C at around $4M per is pretty good
August 03 2013, 04:49PM
Bozak is a Cancer. As soon as Phil is signed please trade Bozak for scraps.
August 03 2013, 07:23PM
I love Kessel and all but he is not worth 12M (his 7.5M contract + Bozak 4.25M who he has to carry).
Further, at this point, I think Kessel should be dealt because he doesn't understand that Bozak is not good at hockey as measured by Corsi. And the guy lets friendship get in the way of winning.
Fire Nonis. Fire Bozak. Fire Kessel. Fire Carlyle. Fire Everyone.
Keeping Bozak obviously had more to do with a particular need then friendship. I am sure he's happy to still be playing with Bozak, why wouldn't he Bozak lets him do all the things he likes. Not going say other centers dont yeah actually I am.
What does this tell you "Phil wants the puck all the time and I think he's got Bozie in his back pocket with that right now," Wilson said. "That's smart of Phil to do that - you want to play with somebody who's going to give you the puck all the time. That's right now the most compatible player for him to play with."
Seems to me Kessel has issues with his centers resentment on giving him the puck all the time. Lets blame Bozak, that works its all Bozak's fault like everything else that is happening with the Leafs.
Because that was the primary reason for the signing. Dave Nonis said so! Right. No bias at all. Because advanced stats tell you everything.
Dude you can't even watch these basic clips without forgetting any and all objectivity.
And apparently, you've chosen Grabovski (he of 16 points in 48 games but oh possession!) as the hill your credibility will die on.
What. A. Joke.
August 05 2013, 06:47AM
@Badger M
I agree. There are more pieces in play than this one line.
I also think this issue is getting as worn out as my grandfather's suit. It's done. We aren't adding any more data or analysis. Yes, he's overpriced given his skill set. But this is hardly the end of the world. The irony is that the JVR-Bozak-Kessel line is going to allow the Lupul-Kadri-Clarkson line to be mighty impressive. If Kessel was bracing himself to chock up big numbers in a contract year, and if the speculation that signing Bozak was all about keeping Kessel happy is right, then this was not the most strategically savvy move.
One question might be: how do the Leafs top 2 lines fare against Detroit and Ottawa's new makeup?
*If* Leaf management has even the slightest idea that signing Bozak would have Kessel resigning at any sort of a discount, they're dreaming. He will be asking for, at the very least, 8 million when the time comes. If the Leafs don't want to give it to him, fine, another team will be more than happy to roll out that red carpet.
Judging from his most recent comments, and how easily he moved on from his former teams in the past, it's looking more and more likely that 2013-2014 will be his last year as a Leaf. It's not a knock on him as the TO media put Kessel through the ringer since almost the first day of his arrival. I'm not cracking out the violin for the guy either as I believe some of that was his fault, but I believe that any human being in his position is getting tired of the constant scrutiny of being a Maple Leaf 24/7. That, and as a highly paid American citizen, I don't see why he would have any emotional connection to being a Leaf, as well as living any longer in Canada with the taxes as high as they are. I'm no insider and actually hop this isn't the case. But if it is (and I think it is), I hope the management is trying to plan on moving forward as a team without him.
Sorry for the long post. This isn't anything new from what other poster's have suggested in the past, just had to get it out, ha.
Great Blog.
For That kinda loot, I hope when they say they like playing with each other, that means In Every Way. Go Leafs Go.
The Leafs spend money like a bipolar crack addict, with someone elses credit card.
Do you realize the Kessel-Bozak combination makes as much as.. 1-Kane and Sharp 2-Toews and Hossa 3-Malkin and Neal....That sucks.. PS..Second video, That is one Gorgeous person, and Jessica doesn't look bad either.

Simon Donald's Dirty Great Fringepiece
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2011
Him Off The Viz opens wide the beef curtains of his big hairy Fringepiece, revealing a deep wet otter's pocket of fishy material; outrageous characters interspersed with anecdotes from a life spent writing synonyms for genitals.

I watched the show on 13 August, and judging by your review one might think it was another show. He certainly got his assertiveness back and delivered his lines with aplomb, as well as reacting very well to the crowd. We might chalk this down to a difference of opinion or to Simon Donald's performance on the day, but quite frankly, I think we have a different idea what good comedy is about. It's not just about the genesis and delivery of comedic lines, or even vag jokes. Simon Donald's created characters as well as being original immediately strike a comedic cord and take the audience halfway to the sort of fits of laughter virtually everyone watching the show with me was having. At an overly bloated fringe where it is easy to get lost in a sea of mediocrity and hit-and-miss material, some of which from more established names in stand-up, it was very nice to have my faith restored to stand up- despite my initial misgivings about not being a Viz reader, I came away from the show having the sort of cathartic experience only great comedy delivers. Thanks!

Fringepiece is absolute comedy brilliance. Go and see it, I promise you won't regret it.

Part of what makes the economical Smart cars so interesting is the "tridon" safety design. This feature provided rigidity and stability in the event the small car collides with a larger vehicle – thus ensuring a safe driving experience. This design is further reinforced with side steel impact door beams and a reinforced axle system.
Eventually Daimler-Benz purchased the remaining stock from Swatch and the Smart car was first released to the world in 1998. The Smart car was an immediate hit and in 2003 Smart expanded its lineup to include a roadster and a coupe, and in 2004, a sedan. Unfortunately, these decisions were met with lukewarm reception and concern over their price point. Smart was designated to be sold off from Daimler-Benz during the recent financial woes, but was saved by the CEO of the company and the business model redesigned.
In 2006 Smart unveiled the Fortwo (the re-designed City-Coupe) in 36 countries. The redesigned Fortwo featured several changes, including a revised interior, transmission, and increased safety. Most importantly, starting in 2006 Smart cars are now available in the United States. Going forward it's difficult to say how Smart cars will be received by American buyers, but will rising fuel costs and an increased emphasis fuel economy and safety the future looks bright for Smart.

|In response to Re: attaching pedestal sink to wall
: Hi everyone. I need a little advice on attaching a pedestal sink to drywall. The sink is an American Standard Cadet and has no bracket, just the holes in the in the back of the sink itself. The insturctions say to add a 2x6 support in between the wall studs behind the drywall to support the sink. The soon to be half bath is 32" wide and thus there is only one stud right in the center of the wall. So, I am assuming I would add one 2x6 brace on each side of that center stud and connect the other ends with the studs that make up the corners of the wall. Correct?

The Boundaries of Privacy Harm
Ryan Calo
University of Washington - School of Law; Stanford University - Law School; Yale Law School
July 16, 2010
Indiana Law Journal, Vol. 86, No. 3, 2011
Just as a burn is an injury caused by heat, so is privacy harm a unique injury with specific boundaries and characteristics. This Essay describes privacy harm as falling into two related categories. The subjective category of privacy harm is the unwanted perception of observation. This category describes unwelcome mental states – anxiety, embarrassment, fear – that stem from the belief that one is being watched or monitored. Examples include everything from a landlord listening in on his tenants to generalized government surveillance.
The objective category of privacy harm is the unanticipated or coerced use of information concerning a person against that person. These are negative, external actions justified by reference to personal information. Examples include identity theft, the leaking of classified information that reveals an undercover agent, and the use of a drunk-driving suspect's blood as evidence against him.
The subjective and objective categories of privacy harm are distinct but related. Just as assault is the apprehension of battery, so is the unwanted perception of observation largely an apprehension of information-driven injury. The categories represent, respectively, the anticipation and consequence of a loss of control over personal information.
The approach offers several advantages. It uncouples privacy harm from privacy violations, demonstrating that no person need commit a privacy violation for privacy harm to occur (and vice versa). It creates a "limiting principle" capable of revealing when another value – autonomy or equality, for instance – is more directly at stake. It also creates a "rule of recognition" that permits the identification of a privacy harm when no other harm is apparent. Finally, the approach permits the sizing and redress of privacy harm – including privacy in public – in novel ways.

"Awesome" in this case might be in the traditional, "I am full of awe" sense, OR in the new-fangled "OMG, that's sooooo awesome!" sense. Both are applicable. Because a) I can't believe some of these children's books exist, and b) I'm thrilled by the fact that they DO exist. They say it's best to start kids reading young, and what better way than with, say, Go the F*** to Sleep?

There are water heaters that are designed with a fan to expel the flue gases. These are commonly referred to as Power vented water heaters. If your heater is just the conventional type , I would advise not to attach any type of fan to the flue piping.Your heater was not designed to be used with a fan. You may have to reposition your heater closer to the chimney. Marty

Perfect Sandal for Summer!
"I stalked these for a while, after searching for the perfect leopard shoe. I'm partial to calf hair, so once my birthday rolled around, I pulled the trigger. I was a bit nervous about using my rewards on an online-only item (I hover between 8.5 and 9), but I'm so glad I did! I wore these for about 12 hours straight, and was on my feet most of the time. They have great cushioning, so my feet didn't ache at the end of the day. I will be wearing them all summer, and highly recommend them!"

Surface beauty: Photographic reflections on glass and china
11 December 2004 – 6 March 2005
The National Gallery of Australia will showcase one of the rarest and most treasured works in its collection in Surface beauty, an exhibition of photography on view from 11 December 2004 – 6 March 2005.
Since its invention in the 1830s, photographers have been mesmerised by the camera's ability to beautifully and sometimes ruthlessly, capture every nuance of the surface of objects. Between 1844 and 1846 William Henry Fox Talbot, the British inventor of photography on paper, published The pencil of nature, the world's first photographically illustrated book.
The National Gallery of Australia holds one of only a few surviving complete copies of WH Fox Talbot's extraordinary prediction of what photography could hope to achieve. It is the most treasured work in the photography collection, so delicate that it has been exhibited only once before. The exhibition Surface beauty takes Talbot's visionary ideas as inspiration and plumbs the Gallery's rich collection of international photography to show how later generations of great photographers have explored the visual qualities of china and glassware.
The works included in Surface beauty range from elegant classic still life studies to sharp geometric advertisements for the best of modernist European china and glass designer ware of the century. It also features glamorous images reinforced by the American consumer explosion of the post-war years, along with a selection of contemporary investigations into how we perceive the world. The exhibition is also about the often ambiguous and highly sophisticated poetic and symbolic meanings associated with reflections in windows and mirrors.
Surface beauty shows how photography can capture the essence and uniqueness as well as the sensuousness of objects that surround us in our world.
Surface beauty is one of four exhibitions to feature in Canberra's 'Summer of Silver', a joint initiative between the National Gallery of Australia, the National Library of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery, offering more linear metres of photography in Canberra than ever before.
The National Gallery of Australia is pleased to acknowledge Konica Minolta Business Solutions Pty Ltd as sponsor of the Surface beauty exhibition.

Go to circuitspecialists.com, get yourself a nice power supply (or other item of your choosing) and get this DMM for free.--The Gadget Shield: accelerometer, RGB LED, IR transmit/receive, speaker, microphone, light sensor, potentiometer, pushbuttons
Or, the Bargain Level, which still has all the features and good accuracy for $7.50:BUT: Shipping to USA is probably $10 or more, so not so good for a single item =(http://arduino-direct.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=150DISCLAIMER: This is in my store...I looked through about 5 or 6 different low-cost multimeters for one to carry. This has some things I wanted: - Audible continuity test for circuit checking without looking.- Transistor and Diode test - Capacitance measurement- High current (20A) measurement as well as low (20 Ma fullscale) So, whatever you buy, look for those too...
How's $5 sound?
... The one I use is EXTECH brand, model EX330.
That is a good deal. Little light on the frequency counting... but it has features mine does not. I have the UT60E and am happy with it. It cost me $600NM as I recall (600 Pesos)I use the Frequency counter a lot more than I thought I would have...The transistor and diode checking capacity is nice. The ability to read capacitors is good.They are sold in many countries under many brand names.http://www.uni-trend.com/recommededproduct.htmlUnless you are filthy rich it is always a trade-off.
I feel being able to measure mA is a big part in building/troubleshooting digital circuits. Any thoughts?
