How small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries can protect the ozone layer
February 2002 - Paris -- The phase out of ozone depleting substances in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is one of the remaining challenges facing developing countries in complying with the Montreal Protocol. Large numbers of SMEs are found in most developing countries, and because of their size and the nature of their business, they are often very difficult to reach and are hard to locate. To help these SMEs complying with the control measures of the treaty, the UNEP DTIE OzonAction Programme has released a new publication entitled How small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries can protect the ozone layer.
This handbook assists owners, operators and employees of SMEs in developing countries in assessing whether their current operations involve the use of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). It also provides tools that show ways to substantially reduce and eventually eliminate ODS use.
Each section of the document addresses specific aspects of the four different ODS-using sectors: refrigeration and air conditioning, solvents, coatings and adhesives, foams and aerosols. The publication gives also case studies of SMEs that have successfully used alternatives. Finally the publiation describes technical and policy options that an SME can consider and eventually adopt. Resources and relevant contacts are provided in case more information is needed.
As SMEs account for 80% of the economy in some countries, their activities taken as a whole will significantly increase the amount of ODS released into the atmosphere if left unchecked. This handbook hopes to facilitate the phase out of these damaging chemicals under the terms of the Montreal Protocol.
To ensure that the information is as widely available as possible, the OzonAction Programme is making the Handbook available on-line at www.uneptie.org/ozonaction.
This publication is part of the information exchange services provided by UNEP to developing countries to help them meet their ozone depleting substances phase-out obligations under the Montreal Protocol. The OzonAction Programme has developed a range of technical and policy publications to support this phase out and the transition to alternatives. UNEP provides other clearinghouse services (Training & Networking of ODS Officers) as well as assistance development of national ODS phase out strategies (Country Programmes), Institutional Strengthening support.

Intuitions of Justice: Implications for Criminal Law and Justice Policy
Paul H. Robinson
University of Pennsylvania Law School
John M. Darley
Princeton University
U of Penn Law School, Public Law Research Paper No. 07-12
Southern California Law Review, Vol. 81, No. 1, 2007
Recent social science research suggests that many if not most judgments about criminal liability and punishment for serious wrongdoing are intuitional rather than reasoned. Further, such intuitions of justice are nuanced and widely shared, even though they concern matters that seem quite complex and subjective. While people may debate the source of these intuitions, it seems clear that, whatever their source, it must be one that is insulated from the influence of much of human experience because, if it were not, one would see differences in intuitions reflecting the vast differences in human existence across demographics and societies.
This article explores the serious implications of this reality for criminal law and criminal policy. For example, it may be unrealistic to expect the government to reeducate people away from their unhealthy interest in punishing serious wrongdoing, as is urged by some reformer, for it seems unlikely that the shared intuition that serious wrongdoing should be punished can be changed through social engineering, at least not through methods short of coercive indoctrination that liberal democracies would find unacceptable. Second, a criminal justice system that adopts rules that predictably and regularly fail to do justice or that regularly do injustice, will inevitably be widely seen as failing in a mission thought important by the community, even foundational, unless the system's unjust operation can be hidden, something that would be hard to do without breaching notions of press freedom and government transparency to which liberal democracies aspire. Finally, an understanding of the nature of people's intuitions of justice can provide more effective strategies for changing them. For example, it appears that legal and social reformers would do better not to fight people's shared intuitions of justice but rather to harness them in service of their reform programs.

Enough Vatican-Archdiocese failure to face the kids honestly
One can assume that sexual and other abuse of children has been taking place in the Roman Catholic Church for hundreds of years. All the time it has shown the amazing ability of the Roman Church to cover it all up. Part of their ability to do so hinges on their insistence that their followers devoutly adhere to rules that would put any colonial power to shame. Today somewhat more enlightened Catholics do not permit that adherence to these almost prehistoric, colonial rules. But when it comes to covering itself from blame or legal charges, it closes ranks and exhibits its hedonistic secrecy and power. But even this is now slipping somewhat, even as the Roman Church holds on desperately to its age-old power.
The Milwaukee Archdiocese has held onto this colonial left-over more than many geographic areas of the Roman Church. This is partly due to the large-scale immigration that took place to Milwaukee in the 19th and 20th centuries from strongly Roman Catholic nations. Settling in a new country, far from home, the immigrants and their families found a sort of cultural oasis in the Church. Ironically, the Roman Church became a sort of cultural safety zone for the peoples in this strange, new land. The Roman Church flourished. One only has to look at the horizon as one crosses the High Rise Bridge leaving downtown Milwaukee to see a skyline of Catholic steeples. The immigrants felt the Church was protecting them from a nation that was moving too fast away from what they knew in "the old country."
Through a series of upheavals, the Roman Church has been forced to make changes. Oh, it still held fast to the gold and glitter of a monolith that was supposed to be representing the sandaled son of a carpenter, but showed mostly bling. But the first non-Italian Pope in centuries was tied to the political upheavals of Catholic Poland against the mighty Soviet Union. This Polish Pope was seen as a hero and thus a new representation of a church in transition. Many of the centuries-old "beliefs" were changing. Not least of which were ridiculous things such as not eating any meat on Friday, or instructions to stay away from hell-going Protestants. Fears of doing those things had been drilled into Catholic children by nuns and priests who had sworn not to ever-ever marry. Out of this mess a huge worldwide criminal activity was about to be revealed. Pedophilia entered the common lexicon. And when it was often tied to the Roman Church, a quiet gasp went through the world from the Vatican to the ethnic parish in Milwaukee. Dare we believe our holy institution was contaminated in this way?
All sorts of abuse of children surfaced that was related to the Catholic Church. In some nations {e.g. Ireland} it was the horrid abuse of kids in Catholic institutions. In America it was more focused on sexual abuse of children by priests. The tremors became earthquakes. The Roman Church held on for dear life. Its very existence was in peril. But its immense financial holdings have thus far allowed it to weather the storm. But we are left with an army of abused children. And these former kids are fighting to be heard and want to punish the culprits- in- vestments. But the Roman behemoth is using every bit of power and financial clout at its disposal to minimize the cost.
Where does the Milwaukee Archdiocese stand amidst all this human tragedy? Its recent offer for settlement is the lowest of any archdiocese in the U.S. And the language it uses to explain and defend its relative pittance is classic Roman jibberish. Shame on the Milwaukee Archdiocese and its current Archbishop.

Skip to comments.Cops: Gang member killed, another seriously wounded at funeral
Posted on 11/26/2012 1:21:03 PM PST by Responsibility2nd
Two reputed gang members were shot this afternoon at a funeral for a man who was slain on the South Side last week, with a minister at the services tweeting afterward, "This is Crazy."
The two men were shot outside St. Columbanus Church in the 300 block of East 71st Street shortly before 12:30 p.m., across the street from the A.A. Rayner & Sons Funeral Home, police said.
They were taken in critical condition to Stroger, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Will Knight. Both victims are convicted felons and known gang members, police said. Two guns were recovered at the scene.
The shooting occurred after the funeral for James Holman, 32, who was gunned down last week at an apartment building in the Washington Park neighborhood, according to police and the minister who was presiding, the Rev. Corey Brooks.
"I just preached a funeral and gunfire has broke out," Brooks tweeted. "Chaos about 500 people here. This is Crazy!!
"Please pray for Chicago," he added in a later tweet. "This is horrible."
Please pray I believe people have been hit it is Chaos about 500 people here. This is Crazy!!
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
THAT, sir, I can pray for!
I say TS again. They made their bed, they have to lay in it.
You've made your barbaric bed, "revrund," now own it!
If only Chicago had a gun-control law, all this bloodshed could be avoided.
I wonder if they got to know their lord and savior, Barack Obama, before they died?
Quite a lasting legacy of success for Barry the O's community organizing efforts, no?
Now he's doing "for" America what he did "for" Chicago.
Why would 500 people go to a POS gangbanger's funeral?
That is what I find to be crazy.
Must've been a slow day for dope deliveries.
They voted for 'more of the same', Pastor Brooks.
It reminds me of that lawyer joke's punchline.
two down? .... its a great start.
Its kinda a slow way to clean up the crime, two at a time, but you have to start somewhere.
Actually, we've got an exponential progression going here, so it might not be as slow as you think.
One gang-banger killed, then two killed at his funeral.
Later this week two GBs killed at each funeral.
Next week two killed at each of the four funerals.
Rinse and repeat. Won't take long at all.
I'm not surprised, because this has happened before. Heck, it was a scene in the movie Colors, way back in 1988. Still, what a time we live in. Even Capone and the other Mafia types back in the day acted with more restraint at a gangster's funeral.
Of course, most of them wouldn't dream of shooting a cop or a newspaperman (except the very dirty Jake Lingle, who got what he deserved), either.
Great observation!
Just reaping what Rev Wright sowed.
Reverend, your chickens have come home to roost.
Wondering who's going to pay for the funerals.
(the non-0bmama voters)
Some murderous cretins are earning their prime one way tickets to hell.
I'm amazed at the cold-hearted and snarky remarks on here. This pastor is asking for prayer and most of you are taking pot shots at him. Shame!
Prayer didn't help Sodom and Gomorrah either.
I parts of South America, when crime got too obnoxious, there was something of a tradition of business owners and shopkeepers creating a fund that was used to hire tough guys, off duty police, former military, etc.
Their job was to round up, then dispose of criminals, no questions asked. Typically they would take them out to some rural place, execute them, then bury them.
Importantly, this technique was statistically effective, because such criminals are oriented to their turf, so when some were eliminated from a particular area, it was a long time before they were replaced.
This meant that the exterminators did not make a heavy footprint in a typical neighborhood before moving on, so were usually able to take down large numbers of criminals before their activities were even detected, much less stopping them.
And since some off duty policemen were involved, if there were police suspicions, then they would find out about it, and cool it for a while to let things settle down.
Practically speaking, there is no reason that this couldn't work in a place like Chicago, where there are so many homicides that nobody would care much about disappearances.
Practically speaking, there is no reason that this couldnt work in a place like Chicago, where there are so many homicides that nobody would care much about disappearances.
Honestly, I don't like that system. Not at all. Here in America we expect our leaders and our police to be people of integrity. I know this is Chicago we're talking about, but still....
Here in America we let the different tribes kill each other off. No one thinks twice when one of them kills another one of them.
The pastor is mulling a run for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s seat. Prayer is not going to solve this problem. More gun laws are not going to solve this problem. It is highly likely the shooters were friends of the original deceased and the shooting victims associated with his death. It is a cycle of violence that tearing down motels and erecting community centers is not going to solve.
Sodom and Gomorrah wasn't asking for prayer. Lot and his wife were told to leave because God was going to destroy those cities. They didn't want prayer - they wanted to continue in their perverted sins.
This pastor asking for prayer doesn't equate Sodom and Gomorrah.
I agree, lacking any knowledge about this man, it would indeed be prejudicial to demean him. On the other hand, Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago for two years now, has just trumpeted "The Chicago Way" as a model for the rest of America to follow!
On him, much opprobrium would I heap.
For the taxpayer, funerals are a lot cheaper than prison.
** Ebonics
You can complain all you want but don't be snitchin' Rev. You wouldn't want to risk doing anything about the problem.
well, let's look at the possibilities. #1 a contribution can at the funeral home was overflowing with contributions
#2 the guys both had large life insurance policies which not only paid their expense, but left their families with future security because their drug income would cease.
#3 you and I will have money taken out our checks to bury this trash.
#4 my proposal would to be to drop these pieces of trash into a neighborhood dumpster (at night of course so as to avoid the illegal dumping of garbage fine) and avoid any further responsibility for this human vermin.
And I agree with this. I'm sure there are some solid Christians in Chicago, but I'm also sure they are in a minority. The Chicago Way rules!
Actually, it was gang bangers taking pot shots at him.
Most of the posters here are sick and tired of hearing about what a cesspool Shitcago is when these people do nothing but double down on stupid when addressing the problems.
And time after time these "Pastors" and "Reverends" ask fr people to "pray for Chicago." Grabbing there 15 minutes and 100,000 youtube hits.
Well, cafeteria choose your own adventure Christianity isn't going to solve anything. How about rebuking your congregation of gang bangers and pointing out their actions and their criminal behavior is what caused these deaths.
It isn't some imaginary faceless "they" it is the eyes staring back at these supposed men of the cloth. Pray for Chicago? I pray these men of the cloth would grow some testicles and tell these bangers of their eternity in hell waiting. About how Jamal, Gerome, or whatever's body lying in that casket and his evil gang banger's soul is probably burning in hellfire.
Pray for Chicago? Pray for those supposed men of the cloth that provide tacit cover for these criminals. Pray they will one day find the courage to speak the truth.
Was there any link on that site in which to post a comment? I couldn't find any........
"Two reputed gang members were shot this afternoon at a funeral..."
My Grandfather was a bootlegger and philanderer. His 9 sons and daughters are all Christians. His acquaintances never shot up any funerals. Course he wasn't Amish...
That's just a darned shame, and they were such good boys./s
Yes, yes. But was he a Democrat?
By today's standards, I don't think there were democrats in those days. I think they called them sloooow.
Unless you are familiar with this particular pastor and his beliefs, then you are judging this man with a broad paint brush. He may be just where God wants him to be. Do you know God's will for this man? No, and neither do I.
The man is crying out for prayer for his city and people and most of you have the nerve to criticize him.
Have you heard any of his sermons or what he preaches, or if he preaches on the streets? No, and neither do I.
I knew the name rang a bell...roof-top preacher
interesting take\rumor here
So, we don't know for sure if the claims are true or not. I don't presume to know, but he is asking for prayer - not money - which I wouldn't give him anyway.
I'd like to know why the Protestant Corey Brooks is preaching at Catholic St. Colambanus. Is his church too small?
Yes - it would be entertaining to have him explain that this was just a natural reaction to being dissed - just like rioting and murder is a natural reaction among the Islamist "community".
Unless accomplished by a White Christian Conservative male, all such atrocities are merely "natural reactions", whereas a mere verbal protest by the white Christian Conservative male is a hate crime...
Oh Babylon, oh Babylon, we bid thee farewell...
In the dangerous cities of Brazil, shop owners were hiring thugs to eliminate the feral street children that were pickpocketing tourists, stealing and driving away business -- no questions asked.

This an old thread I made a long time ago after seeing this encounter with Naruto and the third raikage fight this thread came to mind. For some reason it got deleted.
I thought up a wind nature jutsu that Naruto could pull off and add to his arsenal. I think its very versatile and Naruto has already performed it to a degree but not as standalone technique.
If you guys recall back to the wind rasangan he used against Kakuzu it had microscopic wind-blades that attacked his body on a cellular level. The wind blades severed the chakra and nerve channels in the body, Tsunade said this damage can't be repaired by any medical ninjutsu.
I think Naruto could perform the blades on their own, obviously he still needs chakra to transform it to wind but it wouldn't need as much chakra to form the blades around a Rasengan.
This is similar to the chodri, Kahashi showed Naruto during their training you could change its scope and power via shape manipulation, Naruto could to the same with the wind blades. For example Naruto could make them very small to see, (for the naked eye that is, the chakra is still there) used to attack a target internally like the picture above or make them large and cut targets in half like the wind rasengan did to the pain bodies below.
The key difference between using the wind blades alone compared to the wind rasengan is that Naruto would probably only be able to use one blade at a time. On the other hand the wind rasengan such as in Kakuzu's case, there were so many wind blades attacking, Kakashi could not count them all even with the sharingan.
The obvious danger to all this Naruto cutting himself, just like Naruto could through the wind rasengan I think he could fire/throw the wind blade, and again this wouldn't use as much senjutsu chakra like the wind rasengan. Also once thrown I think unlike the wind rasangan the wind blade wouldn't be able to expand much at all as the blade isn't linked with an advanced form of shape manipulation like the rasengan. If you notice when a wind rasengan expands almost all the expansion comes from the rasengan, I can see naruto doing this more offen to catch people off gaurd at the last second when using the rasengan.
Also this the recent encounter with the third raikage.
That's about it, a good analogy of this is Naruto walking around with a loaded gun.

Goodbye… Hello
A few weeks ago, Clark, Nick and myself learned that Will McDonald of Royals Review was going to be turning in his Hot Pockets, exiting his mom's basement and entering the real world. He was leaving the blog he founded many years ago. How did we know this? The powers that run the SB Nation baseball blogs approached us about joining their network. The idea was to bring our group to the SB Nation platform, get together with the remaining writers at the Review and form a larger, stronger collective to deliver the ultimate Royals website.
We accepted.
So you are reading our final post at Royals Authority. We're closing up shop and moving down the street to Royals Review. It's a larger neighborhood with a pretty damn strong infrastructure.
The move is not without some trepidation. Will McDonald is a force. A talent. We're not going to Royals Review to replace him. His style is incredibly unique. We are going there to be ourselves. To use our voices to continue to cover the Royals the only way we know how. It will be fun. And maddening. And sometimes a little strange.
Change happens. It's necessary. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time to get used to the new order. We are not going away… The only thing that's changing is the name of the website and the URL where you will find us. That's it. Our content isn't going to change. I suspect a large number of you visit Royals Review daily. Consider this our effort to make your life easier. One bookmark, all the info you'll need. In the off chance you're not aware of Royals Review, we urge you to follow us down the road and see what it's all about. You'll like it.
The three of us have been a team at Royals Authority for a long time. We're still a team. This is really about changing our address and joining forces with three outstanding writers that love the Royals. If this was an ad, at this point, I'd tout this as being "50 percent more!" With the amount of writers on staff, the goal moving forward is to post several times a day. With our roster, I'm thinking that won't be a problem. So if at Royals Authority you've been visiting once a day knowing you'll likely be reading that day's output, at Royals Review we'll have several stories each day as well as game threads and recaps. You'll want to return again and again.
Our hope is to provide you with the best landing spot on the internet for Royals news and views.
Making a move like this isn't easy. In the last couple of years, we've been fortunate enough to build a community of our own. We have countless commenters whom I immediately recognize. (I don't want to name names, because I'll inevitably forget someone.) Your comments and efforts at community have been greatly appreciated. We hope you will hop on the moving van and join us at the new digs. The commenting system may be intimidating at first glance, but if you jump in I think you'll find it welcoming. Plus, the comments are threaded. Threaded! This provides a great opportunity to have an actual internet conversation.
Yes, it will take some getting used to. For all of us. For the last week or so, Clark, Nick and myself have been wandering around the inner sanctum of Royals Review, learning the software and trying to get comfortable with the new platform. If you aren't a member of the Royals Review community, I suggest you head over there and sign up so you can start commenting. If you don't want to comment, sign up anyway… Each time you visit the site, it tells you how many "new" comments have been posted since your last visit. It's so damn easy to follow along with the community. And they're constantly evolving the software to make things better. It's a great landing place for us and for the blog.
Still, this move is bittersweet.
In 2005 I started a Royals blog and called it Warning Track Power. At the exact same time, a couple hundred miles away, Clark opened shop in his corner of the internet with a blog called the Royals Op-Ed Page. In July of that year, we were approached by Evan Brunell, the owner of the now-deceased Most Valuable Network. The idea was to join forces and create a Royals blog for his network.
Royals Authority was born.
We opened for business July 14, 2005. (Holy crap… We've been doing this for almost seven years. That's an eternity in internet years.) I don't remember our first post or any of the details of the first couple of weeks. It seems I've blocked out entire years. (Just like Dayton Moore.) I do know that we've grown our daily readership from the hundreds to the thousands. That's pretty cool. And it's something neither of us dreamed was possible when we started.
Thank you.
Still, this being the internet, we haven't been standing still. After a few years, we jumped from MVN to Bloguin to be their featured Royals blog. After around a single year on that platform, we added Nick to our lineup and angled our way into the arms of ESPN and their fledgling SweetSpot Network.
In the meantime, we tried to host a bulletin board, self-published two books – the second of which was really good, but nobody bought – and learned how to design our own site. It's been fun. Believe me, if it wasn't fun, we wouldn't be doing this.
We owe Evan a great deal of gratitude. He's told me on more than one occasion that bringing the two of us together was one of his better success stories in the time he operated MVN. That's pretty cool. There have also been a ton of great writers along the way who have encouraged us and motivated us. Joe Hamrahi at Baseball Prospectus has been a huge champion of this site and I personally owe him a ton. I'll try to pay it off the entire All-Star weekend. Marc Normandin at SB Nation has been instrumental in our move. He's another guy who has done far too much in helping us advance our work. Geoff Young of the recently departed Ducksnorts has always been ready to help with advice and provided the motivation for the Royals Authority Annuals.
And the mainstream media in Kansas City has always been extremely welcoming to us. Joe Posnanski wrote the foreword to our first Annual. Sam Mellinger has been fantastic to exchange emails with from time to time. Bob Dutton is always available to answer a question… We probably don't bother him enough. Kevin Kietzman at WHB has become a huge champion of this blog. So has Todd Leabo. It's possible one of these guys directed you to our blog. They didn't have to do that, but they did. And we appreciate it.
Thanks also have to go out to Rob Neyer, who was instrumental in bringing us on board at ESPN. As you probably know, he's since moved to SB Nation as well. We're stalking you, Rob. Also, thanks to David Schoenfeld, who took over the reins as ESPN's lead SweetSpotter. Both guys have been instrumental in championing our work, linking to it with regularity and helping drive our audience.
And of course we have to thank you, the readers. Every day we get countless comments, emails and Tweets. It's astounding to the three of us that we have created something that has become part of a daily ritual for so many. Too cool. There's something about this Royal fanbase… We've been beaten down for so long, we need each other to survive. Yet we remain strangely hopeful that someday this team will turn it around and will get back to the summit. Personally, when that happens, I'm going to blow the internet up. I can't wait.
What will happen to Royals Authority? We own the domain, and I suppose I'll keep renewing it. The writers and commenters have wrung our hands and occasionally celebrated for the last couple years at this spot. It's been our hangout. Our little corner of the Royals web. I have no clue how often our archives are visited, but I figure it's worth it to keep those open. Plus, maybe I'll get around to updating the Payroll tab at the top of this page and this site can continue to be a resource.
But we're moving on… To a new look Royals Review
This isn't the end. It's a beginning. One that we're excited about. We hope you are, too.
We are looking forward to working with Jeff Zimmerman, Old Man Duggan, Royals Retro and the entire community of Royal Review. And we wish Will the best of luck in his endeavors in the real world.
This new beginning is going to be great. I hope you'll join us.

InVite Health's Bone Powder* is one of our most popular products. This dietary supplement powder is formulated to support and maintain normal bone density with a powerful blend of ingredients. Just one serving of our Bone Powder* (9.5g per serving) provides 1000mg of absorbable calcium, but this super powder is much more than a simple calcium supplement – it provides many additional benefits with its comprehensive bone support formula. The ingredients in InVite's Bone Powder* work together to support healthy bones throughout the aging process. This product is composed of the following ingredients:
1) 400mg of Magnesium citrate for calcium absorption and muscle relaxation
2) 80mcg of Vitamin K1 and K2 (MK4) combination to help release calcium in the blood and tissues and deposit the calcium into the bones. This ingredient also works in tandem with Vitamin D supplementation for proper calcium deposition.
3) 1000 I.U. Vitamin D3 to maintain Vitamin D3 levels and absorb calcium
4) 500mg of FOS from chicory root is a prebiotic to boost calcium absorption along the brush border of the small intestine. FOS is the reason why 1000mg can be absorbed at once!
Together, this powerful mixture helps distribute the rich serving size of calcium (1000mg per scoop) over a large surface area. The ingredients work together to assimilate the calcium into the body and deposit it into your bones where it is needed, while keeping it out of the circulatory system and blood vessels where it is not required. This lemon-lime flavored powder includes an absorbable form of elemental calcium that is derived from calcium citrate. The powder format makes it easy to swallow and digest while supplying your body with the recommended serving size in one convenient sitting. A serving of 1000IU (250% DV) of Vitamin D3 is included in our Bone Powder*, as well as of 1mg of Boron and 6mg of Silica to help support natural bone strength.
Bone density tends to depreciate with age, especially in certain populations. The International Osteoporosis Foundation reports that almost 44 million US women and men over the age of 50 are affected by the public health threat of Osteoporosis and low bone mass, osteopenia. These 44 million people represent 55 % of people aged 50 and older in the US – this is the majority of the senior population! Additional health risks for Osteoporosis include smoking, lack of weight-bearing exercise, inadequate levels of Calcium and Vitamin D, and lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet. InVite's Bone Powder* is an excellent source of Vitamin K, Magnesium and Calcium, providing 100% DV of each of these nutrients.*
Great for people at risk of osteoporosis, smokers, those with an acidic diet or on medications that thin bones. Adequate Calcium and Vitamin D throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may help to reduce your risk of Osteoporosis. Very limited and preliminary evidence suggests that Calcium supplements may reduce of the risk of colon and rectal polyps, although the FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence support this claim.
As a dietary supplement for adults, stir one (1) 9.5g scoop into a full glass of liquid or food, or as directed by a health care professional. This product contains 30 servings per container.
Allergen Information: The product is free of Crustacean Shell Fish, Eggs, Fish, Milk, Peanuts, Soybeans and Tree Nuts.
This product is sourced from vegetarian ingredients. Can be taken as part of a Bone Health Program with adequate Vitamin D3, Strontium and Collagen Hx. For best results, take at least four hours away from Strontium Hx®.

Bone Food Powder by InVite Health offers much more than your average calcium supplement. One of our most popular products, this powerful blend of ingredients helps keep your bones strong throughout the aging process. The majority of people age 50 and over in the US – about 55% of the senior population – are at risk of developing Osteoporosis. Inadequate levels of Calcium and Vitamin D as well as lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet are both major factors that can increase your risk of Osteoporosis. InVite's Bone Food Powder is an excellent source of both Calcium (1000mg, 100% DV) and Vitamin D3 (1000IU, 250% DV). Supplementing your diet with these, along with the other bone health ingredients included in this product, may be very beneficial in reducing your risk of Osteoporosis. Our Bone Food Powder offers a great amount of calcium in each 9.5g serving, providing 1000mg in just one scoop. Its lemon-lime flavoring gives it a pleasant taste, and its powdered form makes it easy to swallow. 400mg of Magnesium, 80mcg of combination Vitamins K1 and K2, and 500mg chicory root extract round out this excellent bone health supplement. Bone Food Powder from InVite is free of the following common allergens: Crustacean Shell Fish, Eggs, Fish, Milk, Peanuts, Soybeans and Tree Nuts.
As a dietary supplement for adults, stir one (1) 9.5g scoop into a full glass of liquid or food, or as directed by a health care professional. For best results, take at least four hours away from Strontium Hx®. This product contains 30 servings per container.
Thanks! Hope you come to visit Boca Raton, Florida soon. That's where I reside. I've been to the local Invite Health store and met Dr. Mona. For occasional joint stiffness I've been using your Bone Food Powder which is great.

Entry to the Port of Marseille
[L'entrée du port de Marseille] 1911
oil on canvas

Photograph: Jean Bernard
The Neo-Impressionist's technique aims … at obtaining a maximum of colour and light. Is this aim not clearly outlined by the beautiful cry of Eugène Delacroix: The enemy of all painting is grey!1
So stated Signac in his seminal treatise on Neo-Impressionism, D'Eugène Delacroix à Neo-Impressionisme.2 Here we see a typical example of how this notion was realised: individual brushstrokes in vivid pinks and blues are interspersed with flecks of green, purple and orange to capture the play of light on the waters of the harbour, and the passage of clouds across the sky. Signac's friend Cross well described the dazzling effect of the 'play of hues' in Signac's paintings as being 'ravishing as happy combinations of gems'.3
While earlier in his career Signac had painted gritty urban landscapes, port scenes and seascapes like this one make up much of his later oeuvre. In his early work he was a devoted follower of Seurat's Pointillism, in which images are constructed using dots of pure colour and identical size. This rendering of Marseille's port is characteristic of Signac's later adaptation of the style: the precise spheres of colour used in his early paintings are replaced with small rectangular slabs, tessellated to give a mosaic effect.
A keen sailor, Signac travelled extensively in his native France and across Europe, painting ports from St-Tropez to Istanbul. It is interesting that, given his anarchist sympathies, many of these paintings recall the work of the Romantic maritime painter J.M.W. Turner and offer idealised versions of the bustling industrial ports. Here yachts and traditional barques are set against a soft city skyline and the whole work is imbued with a rose-golden glow. This is in stark contrast to the reality of Marseille's busy seaport in the years leading toWorld War I, when hundreds of ships filled the harbour against the backdrop of a rapidly expanding industrialised city.
The shift to idyllic subject matter exemplified by this work could be read as alluding to the anarchist dream of a future utopian society, but perhaps the painting is better understood as affirming Signac's belief in the revolutionary power of the Neo-Impressionist technique. For him, the technique represented a denial of tradition and a refutation of bourgeois taste that struck 'a solid pick blow to the old social edifice, which, worm-eaten, cracks and crumbles like some abandoned cathedral'.4

Jobs and Economic Growth Act
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member.
During her speech, the member for Laval said that the budget that is about to be implemented completely ignored half of the population, since it does not do anything for women.
Not only does it have nothing for women, but the budget also ensures that women will no longer be able to achieve pay equity through the courts. My colleague's party is once again prepared to vote against implementing the budget, but not to actually defeat it. The Liberals will abstain from voting, as they did for the budget itself.
How does my colleague explain such deceitful behaviour to his constituents? How does he explain that today, his leader introduced Bill C-471, which aims to provide pay equity for women, but will then see to it that this equity is not enforced?
Jobs and Economic Growth Act
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I have a history. We have worked together on many issues in the House, particularly on inequalities. I put forward a bill on helping people to get through illnesses by giving them EI.
The gist of my comments today were about what is happening in Atlantic Canada and what is happening in Cape Breton, but there is no doubt about it. We do not need preaching by any party on how we believe in the charter of rights and the rights of every individual. We stand up again and again for them, and I will continue to do that.
The member knows that I will continue to work with him to push forward against any inequalities in this country.
Jobs and Economic Growth Act
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my hon. colleague. He is a Liberal, but I cannot be too mean to him because he is from Cape Breton Island. My family had to leave Cape Breton to work in the gold mines in Timmins. Those immigrants built an amazing resource that has succeeded all across northern Canada. It was built by hard-working people. We have built industries that are the envy of the world.
Then the Conservative government came along. The last time it did anything with industry was the Avro Arrow. It saw these great mines like Falconbridge and Inco and said, "Let's sell them out to some corporate raiders and let's not get any kind of commitments", because it believes blindly in the power of capital.
We have seen a devastation in our regions because of the lack of understanding on the government's part that there is a difference between foreign investment and foreign takeover.
We have always supported foreign investment because it has built industry, but what we are seeing under the Conservative government, which is in Bill C-9, is a change in the rules on oversight with foreign takeovers. We are leaving industries like our northern mining industries, the oil sector and telecommunications open to foreign takeovers that are undermining our ability as Canadians and as regions to maintain good, strong jobs in this country.
I would like to ask the hon. member from Cape Breton, would he not work with us to stop this turnover and deregulation move by the government against our regional industries?
Jobs and Economic Growth Act
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is too bad that my colleague's family left Cape Breton and went from the coal mines to the gold mines but they are welcome back any time. Our Liberal caucus will be in Cape Breton and he is welcome to come this summer to join us and have a few brews.
More seriously, the mining industry is very important to Canada. We went through a major transition in Cape Breton where we had a government-owned mine and it did not go so well. However, now it is coming back again. We have Xstrata investing in Cape Breton. Xstrata is one of the top mining companies in the world.
Sometimes there is a balance. The government cannot be too in control of mining. It has to be the watchful eye in investment and environmental rules, but there has to be that in between where we allow investment from other countries and multi-corporations to come in. We would have no coal industry in Cape Breton if Xstrata had not stepped up to the plate and invested millions of dollars into our region.
Therefore, there is a balance and I think the Liberal balance is the right balance. There is too much free enterprise in the Conservative Party and the NDP does not have enough, so we are right down the middle.
Jobs and Economic Growth Act
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to Bill C-9, the budget implementation bill.
I would like to begin by saying that the Bloc Québécois will vote against this bill because it widens the gap between the rich and the middle class and the poor. This bill does not meet the Bloc Québécois' expectations or those of the people.
The Bloc Québécois is the only party that really did its homework. We consulted people in all regions of Quebec. My colleague from Hochelaga made it his mission to travel to every single region to meet representatives, opinion leaders and organizations.
The Minister of Finance ignored the economic statement we presented even though it laid out options for additional resources for the government without compromising the social safety net. In our statement, we suggested that the wealthy should contribute more via a 2% tax increase for those earning $150,000 or more per year and a 3% tax increase for those earning $250,000 or more. Higher taxes on high-income earners would bring in $4.8 billion in additional revenue for the government.
The same applies to tax havens. There are still too many companies, organizations and individuals who use tax havens to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. That is additional money the government could have collected.
Instead, the government chose to adopt measures that affect the middle class and low-income earners and to chip away at the social safety net and existing social measures, including a very precious means of communication, Canada's postal system. The subject barely came up here today, but the government began the process to privatize the Canada Post Corporation. That is unacceptable because the Canadian postal system plays an important role in society in general.
In this budget, the government is also seeking to subject credit unions like the Desjardins Group to federal authority. Initially, that would be voluntary. The government always introduces voluntary measures to soften up those concerned about the status of these institutions, but it wants to gradually bring such institutions under a Canadian entity exclusively. That is totally unacceptable.
Another serious issue is that the government wants to make plundering the employment insurance fund official. This diversion of funds over the past 14 years, first by the Liberal Party and then by the Conservative Party, represents more than $57 billion.
When the Supreme Court ruled on how the employment insurance fund is used, it recognized the fact that this money belongs to the contributors. The government can use it for other purposes, but it still has to understand that the money belongs to the contributors.
They are preparing to make this theft official by changing how the fund is administered, and the Liberals will be their accomplices. The Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board will become the employment insurance operating account, and the fund will start all over again at zero. It is as though this diversion of funds never happened. Doing this would allow the current government to make use of the employment insurance fund surplus from 2012 to 2015, to the tune of $19 billion. The $57 billion will be erased with a single vote in the House and the Liberals will be the accomplices. I hope that my Liberal colleagues realize that they will also be accomplices in the future diversion of $19 billion.
Those who support the unemployed—the major unions, unemployment organizations and, of course, the unemployed themselves—have always been unanimous. They all agree that the system no longer corresponds to their reality. It is no longer helpful or inclusive, it is exclusive. More than 54% of the people unemployed today cannot receive benefits.
Yet these people contributed to an employment insurance fund, which is basically insurance should they have the misfortune of losing their jobs. They put money into this fund specifically to be able to receive benefits to continue supporting their families and meeting their obligations if they lose their jobs.
People need to know that voting for Bill C-9 constitutes, in my mind, a serious economic crime against people who have lost their jobs. Not only would this deprive workers of an income, but it would also mean depriving their families. This also puts an economic burden on a certain region, or even on the provinces. Quebec will be left to take care of these people through a last resort measure: social assistance. There is something wrong with this picture.
In closing, women are those most affected: over 67% of women are excluded. This morning in the House, the Liberal Party leader introduced a bill on pay equity, which we will support, because we simply cannot oppose such a measure. However, it is a hypocritical bill, because they will say here today that they oppose Bill C-9, but they will not show up to vote against it. Yet that bill will make it impossible for women to ask the courts to recognize their right to pay equity.
That is why we will vote against the bill. We invite all our colleagues to do the same.
Denare Beach Winter Festival
Statements By Members
April 12th, 2010 / 2 p.m.
Rob Clarke Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK
Mr. Speaker, recently it was my pleasure to attend the 32nd annual Denare Beach Winter Festival, which shows the true meaning of small-town northern Saskatchewan spirit. I had a wonderful time at all the activities and enjoyed the opportunity to meet with many constituents.
During the auction, I met one special constituent, Mr. Joel Olivier, a man to whom I would like to refer as the bidder. The bidder kindly raised the price of a set of binoculars I was bidding on during an auction, so I returned the bidder's favour on the next item in which he was interested: a signed Bobby Clarke print. Despite our friendly rivalry, I would like to let it be known that the bidder and I were able to enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast the next day.
I want to thank the bidder, his father Ephat Dorge, his son Ethan, and all who worked to organize this fundraiser for the Denare Beach Recreation Board. I look forward to attending the 33rd annual Denare Beach Winter Festival as this is a prime example of northern communities' pride and participation. Job well done.
Terry Fox
Statements By Members

Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Mr. Speaker, on this day 30 years ago, Terry Fox stood next to St. John's harbour about to embark on his Marathon of Hope across Canada. While his run ended prematurely in Thunder Bay, the journey he began continues to this day in Terry Fox Runs around the world. From New York City to Kuala Lumpur, from Dublin to Abu Dhabi, Terry's inspirational legacy has spawned a global movement that has raised over $500 million for cancer research.
Stride by stride, town by town, Terry's heroic run showed not only the strength of one man's will to conquer a disease, but the strength of the human spirit to inspire a nation and the global community to action. Terry once said, "I just wish people would realize that anything's possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try".
His dream, his miracle, was to run across Canada to raise money to fight cancer. He showed us all that dreams and miracles are not only possible, but within our reach. It is up to each of us to try. For Terry, we owe nothing less than that.
Nuclear Security
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Paule Brunelle Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Washington nuclear security summit opens today. It will be attended by some 50 countries including Canada, which is being represented by the Prime Minister. Since the purpose of this meeting is to agree on ways to safeguard nuclear material that could be used to develop a nuclear bomb, it is important to question just how credible Canada actually is when it comes to nuclear security.
The non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is at the very heart of the debate at this summit. Canada recently concluded an agreement on the sale of CANDU reactors with India, a country which has not signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
Clearly, Canada is more interested in selling its CANDU reactors than addressing security issues.
How does this Conservative government intend to defend its position, which is indefensible considering that Canada is a signatory of the non-proliferation treaty? It is indeed important to address the problem of proliferation of weapons, but it is important that the commitments made in Washington are not made hypocritically.

Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tragic event on Saturday, which saw the president of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, and 95 other passengers die in a plane crash near Smolensk, Russia. The group had been on its way to a memorial service in remembrance of the massacre of Polish military officers by Soviet secret police 70 years ago in the Katyn forest.
Over the last century, the Polish people have suffered from a long list of tragedies, including the Nazi invasion in 1939, the deportation and murder of Jews from the Warsaw ghetto, the Katyn massacre, and the loss of independence under the Soviet Union. Adding to that list was Saturday's dreadful plane crash, which not only claimed the life of the president, but also the lives of many family members of the victims of the Katyn massacre as well as a cross-section of Poland's political, military, business and religious leadership.
It is my hope and belief that with this most recent tragedy, the strength and character of the Polish people will sustain them through the difficult days and weeks ahead as it has so many times in the past.
On behalf of my constituents, my party and all Canadians, I offer my deepest condolences to the people of Poland and the worldwide Polonia.
National Parks and Marine Conservation Areas
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gary Schellenberger Perth—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to acknowledge the presence of a world-renowned environmentalist and true humanitarian, Dr. Jane Goodall.
When the Minister of the Environment met Dr. Goodall at the WILD9 convention last November, Canada and the world were celebrating the expansion of Nahanni National Park Reserve. Since then, our government has continued its active work toward the permanent protection of vast expanses of water, wetland, tundra and boreal forest across Canada, from the Mealy Mountains of Labrador to Lancaster Sound in Nunavut and to Haida Gwaii on the Pacific Coast.
From the birth of Canada's first national park to 2006, Canada established a system of national parks and national marine conservation areas covering 277,000 square kilometres. Our government has protected 45,000 square kilometres and has taken action to expand that by another 40,000 square kilometres. This represents an increase of an area larger than Austria.
Welcome, Dr. Jane Goodall, to Ottawa.
The Holocaust
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Ken Dryden York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, in 1933 there were nine million Jews in Europe. Half a generation later, six million had perished in the Holocaust, others had fled for their lives, and only a few hundred thousand were left.
The incalculable loss, fathers, mothers, grandparents the children never had. Children, so full of learning, so full of possibilities, never the chance to live their lives. A next generation never born, and a next.
The incalculable loss to the Jewish people; the incalculable loss to all of us.
For us, never to forget the Jews and the Jewish people. But for us, too, never to forget how easy it is to push to one side any group of people, to separate, divide, cut off, then to demonize, hate and destroy.
The Holocaust happened then and there, but the Holocaust is a forever story for all of us.
Never again, and always to remember.
Alberta's Lieutenant Governor Designate
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Laurie Hawn Edmonton Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, last week the Prime Minister announced that retired Colonel Donald Stewart Ethell will serve as the next Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.
Colonel Ethell had a distinguished 38-year career in the Canadian Forces. His duties included serving as director of peacekeeping operations at national defence headquarters and as chief of staff and deputy force commander of the multinational force and observers during the 1990-91 Persian Gulf war. He is one of Canada's most decorated soldiers as well as a champion for veterans and the welfare of those in the world's most vulnerable nations.
Colonel Ethell is Canada's most experienced peacekeeper. He was deployed on 14 peacekeeping missions, including service in Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Central America and the Balkans.
Colonel Ethell is committed to issues that are important to Canada's veterans. He is a committee chair on the Veterans Affairs Canada-Canadian Forces Advisory Council. He is also the national president of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping.
I am honoured to have known Colonel Ethell as a colleague and friend, and shortly will be able to call him His Honour, the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.
I know he will do all Albertans proud. I wish him and his family all the best.
Aluminum Industry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, on April 15, a delegation representing the Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean area will attend the Rio Tinto annual shareholders' meeting in London. This delegation, comprised of the economist Marc-Urbain Proulx, union leaders Alain Gagnon and Marc Maltais, and myself, will voice the historical claims of my region with regard to the development of the aluminum industry.
Rio Tinto currently uses clean energy drawn from a watershed whose value is increasing. However, despite the extraordinary incentives from which the company has benefited, the level of employment in aluminum production has dropped 40% in 30 years, according to the economist Marc-Urbain Proulx.
Given that the partnership between my region and Rio Tinto is not an equitable one, the delegation will ask the corporation to provide more support to the aluminum industry.
I would also like to point out that the Conférence régionale des élus will be attending this meeting for the first time.
Leader of the Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc leader spent last week touring the country to promote sovereignty.
His message is as simple as it is disturbing: Canada must separate from Quebec.
Unable to convince Quebeckers to separate from Canada, the Bloc leader is now saying that it is in Canada's interest to separate from Quebec.
To make sure people got his point, he even invited the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to leave Canada and become an independent country.
Clearly, the Bloc leader's priority is not the economy and jobs.
His priority is to stir up pointless old quarrels and divide a country that has never been as united as it is today.
While the Bloc leader is gallivanting about the country, we are working to stimulate the economy.
The Conservative government's solid, stable economic leadership is good for Quebeckers.
Battle of Vimy Ridge
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, this weekend Canadians commemorated the famous 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge. Not far up the road from Vimy is the also famous battleground of Passchendaele, the town of Ypres and Menin Gate. A memorial at that gate pays tribute to all the Commonwealth soldiers who died at Ypres, including nearly 7,000 Canadians.
Every day at this site since 1927, the local Belgian population performs a memorial ceremony to thank those who gave their lives to secure liberty. Since 1954, the bugler at this daily ceremony has most often been Mr. Antoine Verschoot. He will turn 85 this June, but still he plays his bugle daily to thank the Canadians and others who made the ultimate sacrifice for him.
Today, we in the Canadian House of Commons say our thanks to Antoine Verschoot and to his seven current fellow buglers for their endless devotion to their Canadian liberators.

Sonia Sotomayor made history in 2009 when she became the first Hispanic U.S. Supreme Court justice. In her memoir, "My Beloved World," Justice Sotomayor shares candid memories about growing up in a Puerto Rican household, and how a girl from the Bronx went on to top honors at Princeton University and Yale Law School.
Sonia Sotomayor's 10 Tips for Success
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that she wrote her memoir My Beloved World to inspire kids to "see the potential for them to reach anything they want to be." Here are excerpts from the interview that highlight her path to success.
1. Be Disciplined
"The greatest gift diabetes gave me, which is an incredible sense of discipline. When you, at the age of seven and a half, have to get up in the mornings and boil water to purify your syringes ? they weren't disposable syringes back then – and take your shot, and watch what you eat all day and just to be careful with what you do, it's a discipline that helps you in every other aspect of your life…
"Diabetes is just an inherent part of me. It's ever present. I am constantly, the day long, checking in with my own body to find out where my sugar levels are. Every time I eat, I have to calculate how much insulin to take. If I am sick, I have to figure out how high my sugars will raise and what I need to do to combat it. It's ever present."
2. Run, Don't Walk, Through Open Doors
"[Affirmative action] stimulates people to look at you differently, provokes them to do that. The difference perhaps in [my view and Justice Clarence Thomas'] view of [affirmative action] is my understanding and appreciation that at least for me, at that time, when I was being admitted to schools I never would have been chosen for previously, that it opened the door and it gave me a chance to prove myself.
And I tell kids all the time, you can live in other people's negative impressions about your worth or you can chose to say, ok, however the door got open, it gets open a lot of different ways for a lot of different people: the legacy kids who have parents who are alumni, the athletic kids who get in through a different door as well, lots of people get in through a lot of different doors. The real bottom line is what do you do once you're there and if you do something good and prove yourself worthy, nobody can take that away from you."
3. You Don't Have to be the Smartest, But You Have to Persevere
"I tell [kids] something that President Calvin Coolridge said: 'There's a lot of talented people out there, a lot of people with high IQ's and big genius, a lot of well-educated people, but the people who succeed are the ones with perseverance.' And in some ways that's what I found."
4. Understand That Not All Relationships Will Survive
"[My ex-husband and I]started dating and we continued to date through high school and got married just as we were graduating. He decided to forego going to school immediately and to follow me to law school at Yale. He took a job. We lasted through that, through law school.
And then he went on to graduate school and I started working. It was during that work period where my hours were insane, I got up at something like 5:00 in the morning, Kevin drove me to the local train station and then I commuted sometimes close to an hour and forty-five minutes to work and at the end of the day I had to reverse that commute. So I wasn't getting home until 9:00, 9:30 at night. That didn't leave much time for intimacy, and I'm not talking about sexual intimacy.
As hard as he was working, I was having successes at work. My first year at work, I had been among the first group of prosecutors to be moved up to felonies and he was realizing, that for whatever reason, that it was going to be tough for him. He might succeed, but he might not catch up with me."
5. Know When to Step Outside Yourself
"I tell shy children all the time, it's really hard to overcome sometimes but you can use that shyness to your advantage if you can figure out the moments when you have to step out of it and that's really the key to success, which is you don't have to alter your style altogether. You just have to figure out when you need to step aside from it to get something done."
6. Compete Against Yourself
"I try to best me. I set goals…I set the bar. I went to college and in my first semester, I got three B's and an A. I'm not even sure I can remember why I got the A, it had to be because I took a course where I didn't have to do writing… The next semester I wanted two A's and two B's, and I did that. And then I kept increasing it every year so that by my junior year, I was getting all A's. That's how I've done it."
7. Be Patient
"I want to become a great justice. Justice Stevens said to me during my first year in one of our exchanges: 'Sonia, no one is born a Justice, you grow into it.' And I've only been on the court three and a half years. It will take me a long time to reach the goal of being a great justice but I am working at it."
8. Let Your Fear Drive You
"I am often asked, what's the greatest obstacle you ever experienced and I tell them it was my own fear. That's a thing that keeps most of us back is letting fear paralyze you instead of being stimulated by it. To face it, to accept it, to stare it in the face and say, ok, I may fail but it's alright to fail because I tried and I may learn something from it."
9. Don't Go it Alone
"It's alright to say I don't know and to go look around your life to see who knows better than you and go ask them for help."
10. Revel in Moments of Accomplishment
"It is very difficult to describe for people how moving a moment like [swearing in Vice President Joe Biden] can be. I understand because I read the news the next day that President Obama, as he was leaving the stage, turned around to look at the audience before him. I did that walking in because I had never attended an inauguration before — it takes your breath away to see that many people there. Forget who is president or not. But that many people involved in a moment of our nation's history and to be a part of it, at least for me, it's humbling because I feel so blessed to have had that opportunity."

We'll respond shortly.
So you have a nice new Apple machine running Lion, but you don't want to spend the next few hours installing software.
The short answer: use chef/soloist in conjunction with a slew of recipes developed at Pivotal Labs to help install the most common set of components.
Here's what to do:
Do the following:
sudo gem install soloist
mkdir -p ~/workspace
cd ~/workspace
git clone https://github.com/pivotal/pivotal_workstation.git
cat > ~/soloistrc <<EOF
- $HOME/workspace
- pivotal_workstation::meta_osx_base
- pivotal_workstation::meta_osx_development
- pivotal_workstation::meta_ruby_development
It typically takes an hour for the chef run to complete. You can do other things while it's running (but if you reboot or logout you'll need to restart the chef run).
[Chef is a framework written by OpsCode to help configure in maintain one or more machines using 'recipes' (ruby scripts, more or less).]
[Soloist is an application which makes running chef-solo (the version of chef which runs without any centralized server) easier. It was written by my co-worker Matthew Kocher.]
At the end of the chef run [as of this writing, and if all goes well] the following software will be installed:
The following services will be enabled:
The following preferences will be set:
Want to change the software that is installed? It's simple: just change your ~/soloistrc file. Here's a soloistrc that will only install TextMate & node.js:
- ./workspace
- pivotal_workstation::textmate
- pivotal_workstation::node_js
If you're interested in seeing all the recipes available (and there are quite a few), just browse the recipes in the pivotal_workstation repo.
Early in June, several pivots (Sean Beckett, Matthew Kocher, and David Goudreau, and I) met to decide on the bare minimum set of software and features that our developers would need to function on a new Lion Machine.
This set of chef recipes is the result of that meeting. There have been some changes (we have had great difficulty writing recipes to install firefox addons, so we iceboxed the story; some of our developers contributed recipes for things they wanted, so we added those).
We chose chef/soloist partly because felt that our previous process had reached the end of its usefulness and were familiar with chef from our work automating server configuration.
Here's how our previous process worked:
This approach had several shortcomings:
We looked for alternatives. We wanted the following features:
Integration tests for the cookbook took several days to set up. We use Faronic's Deep Freeze on a fairly pristine mac mini to ensure that we have a clean machine when we run our chef scripts. Continuous integration has proven invaluable for collaboration, for we quickly learn if a commit has unintended consequences.
In the more complex chef recipes, we attempt to write tests to test that they [the recipes] have succeeded; sshd_on.rb is a good example of testing that a service (sshd) was correctly started.
The chef runs, especially the initial one, are flaky. Our current chef run must download software from over 40 different servers, any one of which being down or having changed the download location can cause a failure. For example, Little CMS, a dependency of ImageMagick, resided on littlecms.com, which was down for a few days. Our integration tests failed during that period.
If you encounter a server being down or a file that has moved, please send us a pull request with an updated download location, or just comment-out the broken recipe.
Our target audience is developers, which is great: they understand errors, and often contribute code fixes. Our goal is for Pivotal Ops to provide a framework for Pivotal Engineers to write the recipes that build the workstations they want.
I am grateful to Matthew Kocher, who more than anyone helped me write the bulk of the ruby scripts. Also to Sean Beckett, without whose support this would never have happened. And to the many pivots who offered suggestions & help.

An everyday trainer for the overpronator seeking a touch of performance, the Saucony Guide 6 features moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
The Saucony Guide 6 offers the stability you need in an everyday training shoe. Deep forefoot grooves give the shoe excellent flexibility while a segmented crash pad in the heel offer you a smooth, efficient ride. An 8mm drop promotes a more natural stride, and midfoot saddle keeps everything connected, giving you a snug and secure fit. Lace up the Guide 6 and you're in for a great run.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.8 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (28mm), Forefoot (20mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium, 2E=Wide
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Guide 6 is a moderate featured, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape.
Comments: I come to this shoe from the Asics 2100 series. I wore the 2160's and went through about 6 pairs of the 2170's. I'm not quite sold on the current version from Asics. Two caveats with this shoe: 1) order a half size up. I wear an 11 in Asics and needed an 11.5 in this shoe. 2) beware of the 8mm heel to toe drop. I have experienced some mild achilles soreness transitioning to this shoe. The key here is 'transitioning'. Do not pick up this shoe from a 12-13mm drop shoe and wear this shoe exclusively. You will not be happy with the results. I am alternating this shoe with my last pair of 2170's and doing achilles/calf stretches to get used to the lower drop. For what it's worth, I'm logging 35mpw in the early stages of marathon training (will ramp up to 60mpw) and am 160 lbs.
From: Eric, Richmond, VA, USA
Comments: First I'm going to talk about the Guide 5, and then I'll tell you about the Guide 6. After running in the Mizuno Wave Inspire 6 for 2 years (12 pairs) I finally switched to the Guide 5. After a few weeks of struggling with a tight achilles from the reduced heel drop, I fell in love with the shoe. Probably my favorite pair since Mizuno Precisions back in 2005. I feel smooth when I run in the Guide 5, and I get lots of feedback from whatever surface I'm running on. The upper fits my long, narrow foot like a glove with no blisters or slippage. The forefoot rubber was showing pretty significant wear after 400 miles, but I bet you can get 500+ out of the Guide 5. I bought the Guide 6 this month after hearing what a great update it was. I disagree. The forefoot FEELS wider to my foot, and I can't tighten the laces down enough to keep my foot from moving around. I took these on an outdoors trip for trail running, and my foot was sliding all over the place. Actually rolled my ankle 3x on one run from the instability. The forefoot rubber is also significantly harder than the Guide 5, which may improve longevity but at the cost of comfort. The Guide 6 looks slightly better in my opinion. As a result of my experience, I'm going back to the Guide 5. Just bought 4 more pairs, so hopefully that will hold me until the next update. Hoping for the return of that glove-like fit and softer forefoot rubber.
From: Stuart, Atlanta, GA
Comments: Had two pairs of Guide 5's in 2012 and liked them. The Guide 6s are definitely a tad smaller and I had to go up to size 11 in them where in the 5's I was a 10 1/2. The shoe does feel a bit more flexible in the forefoot and slightly more secure on the mid-foot, but the overall feel is very much Guide 5-like. The addition of more resilient XT-900 rubber on the toe will be an improvement as I wore through the IBR+ rubber into the EVA foam on the toes on one of my Guide 5s. It seems that Saucony corrected the weird tongue that the Guide 5 had (too short and concave shaped top) and the elastic-like laces that were too long. Also, I purchased the white/black/citron(green) color scheme and found the green details and midsole to be very visible in low lighting conditions; much more so than on my royal/citron Guide 5's or white/black/slime green Mirage 2. One thing that I am concerned about is the added sewn-on overlays on the toe box. There are additional overlays that go from the bottom lace eyelets almost straight forward to the toe reinforcement overlay. This was not the case in the Guide 5. I can feel the new overlay over my small toe buckle at toe-off when I walk, but luckily not running. I have done up to 6 miles on the 6's and not an issue yet, but concerned about it once I get up to 16+ miles.
From: Manny, Greenville, SC, USA
Comments: I am trying these after several pairs of Kayanos, the latest of which I did not care for. The flatter heel-to-toe drop makes me a little nervous. I really don't trust the shoemakers at all anymore -- after years of building up heels they are all chasing the trend (and $$$) in the opposite direction. But I've had good luck with Saucony in past years and decided to give them a try again. My first impression of the Guide 6 after a couple runs: These are VERY comfortable and 'broken in' right from the start, yet feel secure on the foot and still feel like enough shoe for me, and I'm 6-2/180. Also very light. So far so good.
From: Scott, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: I've had two pairs of the Guide 5's with about 700 miles on them. I usually do not go up half a size with Saucony shoes. However, I had to in the Guide 6. When my normal size 10's arrived, they were 1/8" narrrower at the wide point of the forefoot, which was just a little too tight for me. The 10.5's turned out to be better. I took the Guide 6's out for a 13 mile run this morning. They didn't feel much different than the 5's. I also didn't notice much difference due to the extra 1 mm cushioning in the midfoot. Not much change - still a great shoe.
From: Jason, Parker, CO, USA
Comments: Nice update from the Guide 5. I always am a little nervous when an update comes out but this one is positive. I went through 5 pairs of the 5's and really liked them. The 6's are similar but are a touch lighter and a little more flexible. Felt slightly narrower in the forefoot but nothing severe. Sizing is the same for me. Nice update!
