Am I the only one going through this?
Today (I wrote this yesterday) has been a world wind of emotions. Maybe it's just life. I have been on my "personal development" journey for a good 3 years now. I have grown so much and yet have so much growing to do. I was feeling down earlier today so I reflected on these three years of joys, breakdowns, growth and stagnation.
3 years ago, in Atlanta, I was at my all time low. It probably has everything to do with being a mother before I was even remotely prepared for it. I had never been so depressed in my life, but deep down I knew that I had to change not just for myself, but for my daughter. She became the catalyst for my positive changes. I sought out inspiration and I quickly found it.
While at work I stumbled across inspiring quotes on quotegarden.com. I was so inspired by the little nuggets of inspiration they brought. I was started to open my heart up again and believed that my dreams can come true. After a while of reading quotes I hungered more! That was when I discovered blogging for the first time. I read an article on stevepavlina.com and felt inspired by him. He had pretty bad beginnings and still managed to be a huge success. I became obsessed!!! This is also when I realized that I wanted to blog too!
Throughout this time, I hadn't taken any positive actions yet, but my thoughts were changing. I doubted myself and my potential. I let the negativity around me influence the way I felt about
myself. I sought help from people I looked up to and learned that they were in fact, sharing all of my misfortunes with anyone who had ears. It was hard to deal with. I would still slip right back into depression and self-hate, but I came out of it.
Blogs were a wonderful source of motivation but I still needed more! That when I read my first inspirational book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, probably the greatest inspirational book of all time. I realized after reading that book just how powerful my thoughts were and how I could use it to build a better life for myself.
My life still really sucked at the time though. I was still in Atlanta with my daughter and had to walk a mile to the bus to get to my babysitter. Then I had to take the bus to get to work. I decided that regardless of my situation I was a queen! That mile walk to bus, became my exercise instead of my awful commute to my crappy job (telemarketer). I still made mistakes along the way and felt incredibly depressed at times but I always bounced back. With each failure I bounced back faster than the one before.
Year two in my journey comes around and because I couldn't afford to live on my own, I moved to Texas with my sister.
I lived with my parents (ugh).
This was my only reasonable option. I felt like a child all over again and I hated it. I didn't like feeling so powerless so I took my personal development journey more seriously. I began reading more books and listening to audio books. I looked to find a job and decided that "if its meant to be, it's up to me". I devised a plan to save up money so I could live on my own, start up my own blog and be the mother my daughter deserves.
It was hard! I had never been so frugal in my life! There were days when I wanted to give up on myself. No one really seemed to believe in me either. Through out my efforts, I would constantly hear about my mistakes. I guess I can't completely blame them, my track record wasn't a great indicator of my potential. This moment was critical though, I finally stop relying on other people for encouragement and became my own source of motivation. Another year and a half goes by and I finally had enough money saved! I have been living on my own for a short while now. Plus, I have started my own blog (yay!).
This journey has been brought me many joys and many hurts. While, I've grown so much I have so much more growing to do. Today (yesterday 12/9/12) I felt so depressed, like the world was about to end (maybe on 12/21/2012… just kidding). I only saw all of the things that are going wrong with my life. For example, I lack the drive to CLEAN MY HOUSE. It's always the small stuff that gets me so emotional.
I think I struggle is because sometimes I feel that successful people don't ever feel like this. They rarely ever talk about feeling like this, so maybe it's because they have something I don't. 3 years of all this work and I still get feel this way? Maybe I just don't have what it takes. Successful people make it look so easy… As I wrote this, my inner voice said…
And she is right. We all have are ups and our downs. We all fall and we all have the strength to get back up. I refuse to let a moment of weakness be transformed into a lifetime…. Thanks for listening…
Do you ever feel this way?
What do you do to bounce back?
Please share your story below….

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
One big issue for me was the handling of Fandral Staghelm. Having not read the Stormrage book (or any of the novels) the two quests relating to Staghelm seemed like a bizarre standout in the zone with little to no explanation.
Like most people I probably started the first one and thought "woah, what the hell, Staghelm is evil now?" I mean, the guys never been whiter than white but this was a shock.
I don't like such major things being depicted entirely in the books with NO explanation in the game. And there really was none. Sucks.
vocenoctum said...
It's sort of interesting, but in Darnassus (maybe other places too), there's npc's that talk about "what happened to Staghelm, he just disappeared..."
I don't remember the exact quest text for escorting him, but it seems his betrayal and insanity are not common knowledge.
Could not agree more, the treatment of Fandral and Magni in game was just ......just ......just hell I don't know, a stupidly obvious money grab I guess. But it killed a lot and I mean a lot of my enjoyment of the game. Mind you Blizzard has been doing that a lot lately.

The 2015 Honda Fit is the latest and greatest in the line of fun and funky five-doors from the Japanese automaker. The latest Fit looks to increase power and fuel economy for a more engaging and dynamic drive, while maintaining the practicality and versatility the Fit is known for.
The powertrain of this new Honda is comprised of all-new engines and transmissions, and the entire body has been redesigned and revised to improve stiffness and reduce NVH. The new 2015 car is shorter overall than its predecessor but features an increased wheelbase to improve interior dimensions.
This new car has just been unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show and we have all the details here for you. Read on to see if it has what it takes to beat its older self.
Updated 04/09/2014: Honda announced today that the new Fit will be put on sale on April 14 with a starting price of $15,525 for the LX trim with 6-speed manual transmission.
Click past the jump to read more about the 2015 Honda Fit.
The overall look of the new 2015 Honda Fit is sleeker and more modern than the current car. The new front grille is large and sporty, giving the Fit a more aggressive presence. We like that Honda has moved the standard wheel size up to 16-inches as this gives the 2015 Fit better proportions and will hopefully improve ride comfort.
The overall length of the 2015 Fit has been shrunk by 1.6-inches over the last-generation car, but it features a 0.3-inch increase in width a 1.2-inch stretch in wheelbase. The result is a car that is more compact, provides better maneuverability and features more interior space.
Exterior Dimensions
|160 Inches
|67 Inches
|99.6 Inches
Thanks to that wheelbase stretch, the 2015 Honda Fit gains almost 5 cubic feet of passenger space, and rear seat passengers seat a legroom increase of 4.8-inches. When you need more space for cargo, you can fold the seats to create a class-best 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space.
Standard equipment on the 2015 Fit has also been increased to make it an even better value for buyers. When it hits showrooms, the Fit will be the only car in the class that comes with Bluetooth connectivity as standard.
Available features for the new Fit will include smart entry with a push-button starter, Honda's LaneWatch system and a seven-inch touchscreen controlled audio system. For the first time in its history, the Fit will even be available with leather seating, adding a touch of luxury and class to the cabin.
The drivetrain of the 2015 Honda Fit is comprised of all-new components. The heart of the Fit is a brand new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. This DOHC unit features direct injection and Honda's i-VTEC technology to produce 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque — a 13-horsepower and 8 pound-feet increase over the 2013 model. Apart from being more powerful than the outgoing engine, the new unit weighs less and features increased efficiency.
Transmission choices include a six-speed manual or a CVT. When equipped with the CVT, fuel economy is anticipated to be 33 mpg city, 41 mpg highway and 36 mpg combined. If those numbers prove true, the Fit will be the most economical car in the class.
|Drivetrain Specifications
|1.5-Liter i-VTEC Four-Cylinder
|Output (HP @ RPM)
|130 @ 6500
|Torque (LB-FT @ RPM)
|114 @ 4600
|Fuel Economy (City / Highway / Combined)

Ford's compact hatch has been making huge waves since the refreshed model debuted. Available in both sedan and hatch body styles, the Fiesta is not as practical as the Fit, but it offers buyers more choices. For the speed inclined among you, Ford also offers the high-powered Fiesta ST, a car that Honda has no competitor for.
Gallery Ford Fiesta
The Mazda2 focuses more on fun driving than overall practicality than the Fit. It features a less powerful engine, and much smaller overall size. The Mazda 2 does have a lower eight which makes for a more engaging drive, and it also rings in with a much lower price tag. Only time will tell if buyers find Honda's increased interior equipment is worth the price premium.
Gallery Mazda2
Honda finally gave the fit exactly what it needed: a body and engine to match wits with the best in its class. This may give the Fit the means to overtake the Fiesta and the MAzda2. Unfortunately, Honda did not release a higher-performance model to take on the Fiesta ST, but we can still hope.
- Finally, a body that doesn't look stuck in the year 2000
- Big power boost was much needed
- Better fuel economy is always nice in a small hatchback
- Still a little boring in our eyes
- C'mon, Honda give the lil guy the SI treatment

Honda Introduces All-New 2015 Fit at North American International Auto Show Automatic word wrap
- More powerful, refined and fuel-efficient Fit set to launch this springAutomatic word wrap
- All-new U.S. model showcases dynamic styling and upgraded interior packed with class-leading features and technologyAutomatic word wrap
- Earth Dreams™ Technology engine and transmissions deliver heightened fun-to-drive performance and class-leading fuel efficiency
DETROIT, Jan. 13, 2014 – Honda unveiled the all-new 2015 Fit at the North American International Auto Show today. Set to go on sale in the U.S. this spring, the new Fit is completely redesigned from the ground up to deliver an unparalleled combination of style, interior space, fun-to-drive performance and fuel efficiency plus leading-edge safety and vehicle connectivity.
"The Honda Fit is a small car with big aspirations. Faster, more fuel-efficient and more fun, it's a subcompact with larger-than-life-capabilities," said John Mendel, executive vice president of automobile sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "It's simply the best Fit to date and, we believe, a new benchmark in the small-car category."
Modern Styling with Class-Leading Packaging
The 2015 Fit debuts with a sleek, modern and sporty exterior style. A more aggressive front fascia showcases a new grille and headlight design. A strong character line runs along the side of the Fit, emphasizing the vehicle's aerodynamic profile. Larger 16-inch tires outfitted with a new 5-spoke wheel design give the Fit a planted and sporty stance. In the back, rear reflectors and LED taillights run along the hatch with a chrome tailgate garnish and rear diffuser, all contributing to the Fit's more substantial and dynamic appearance.
Retaining a similar exterior footprint to the current model, the new Fit is slightly shorter (-1.6 in.) and wider (+0.3 in.) with a longer wheelbase (+1.2 in.), resulting in improved handling and maneuverability. Inside, the Fit builds on its already class- leading interior space, airy cabin and large greenhouse thanks to an all-new efficient platform that incorporates a unique center-mounted fuel-tank layout. The new Fit also delivers a significant increase in passenger volume (+4.9 cu ft) and rear legroom (+4.8 in.) compared to the previous model. With the Honda-exclusive Magic Seat® offering multiple configurable seating positions, the Fit provides an unrivaled 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat. With an overall height of 60 inches, the Fit allows for easy loading of items into the rear cargo and ingress/egress for passengers.
Enhanced Interior and Technology Features
The 2015 Fit will deliver above-class interior refinement and features while offering value at every trim level. All 2015 Fit models will be equipped with class-leading standard features including Bluetooth® connectivity, a multi-angle rearview camera, and Expanded View Driver's Mirror. For customers looking for premium features in the subcompact segment, Fit will be available with smart entry with push-button start, heated side mirrors, a moonroof, heated front seats, Honda's exclusive LaneWatch™ display and a 7-inch Display Audio1 touchscreen interface with HondaLink™ smartphone connectivity. Soft touch and premium materials are used throughout and, for the first time, the Fit will be offered with available leather-trimmed seating. Improved Performance, Efficiency and Safety
Improved Performance, Efficiency and Safety
The 2015 Fit marks the U.S. debut of an all-new direct-injected1.5-liter DOHC i- VTEC engine. Generating 130 horsepower2 at 6500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft. of torque2 at 4600 rpm, engine output is increased by 11 horsepower and 8 lb.-ft. compared to the outgoing engine, while reducing weight and improving efficiency. Paired to two new transmissions, a slick-shifting 6-speed manual or a sporty and fuel-efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with available paddle shifters, the Fit powertrain offers superior acceleration and passing performance and is anticipated to have class-leading3 EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 33 city/41 highway/36 combined4 (CVT-equipped models).
Complementing the new powertrain is a revised chassis that provides for improved handling, ride comfort and NVH. A more rigid body, new rear dampers and revised suspension geometry notably enhance the 2015 Fit's ride quality and fun-to- drive handling characteristics.
The 2015 Fit benefits from the most extensive use of ultra-high strength steel in the model's history, providing increased body stiffness while reducing platform (underbody and chassis) weight by 57 pounds versus the outgoing model. Equipped with the next generation of the Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, the Fit is anticipated to earn top safety scores from NHTSA and IIHS, including a NCAP 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score and a TOP SAFETY PICK rating with a GOOD rating in all IIHS test modes, including the rigorous small overlap barrier test.
North America Production
The 2015 Fit will be manufactured for the first time in North America at the new Celaya, Mexico plant. With an annual capacity of 200,000 units, the facility will begin mass production of the 2015 Fit next month, adding production of an all-new small Honda SUV later in the year. With introduction of the new manufacturing facility in Mexico, Honda's North American automobile production facilities will have a total annual capacity of 1.92 million units, and will have the capability to manufacture vehicles in all product segments, from subcompacts to light truck models. With the added production, approximately 98 percent of all Honda-brand vehicles sold in the United States will be sourced from Honda plants in North America.

Open Secrets: Storiesby Alice Munro
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In these eight tales, Munro evokes the devastating power of old love suddenly recollected. She tells of vanished schoolgirls and indentured frontier brides and an eccentric recluse who, in the course of one surpassingly odd dinner party, inadvertently lands herself a wealthy suitor from exotic Australia. And Munro shows us how one woman's romantic tale of capture and escape in the high Balkans may end up inspiring another woman who is fleeing a husband and lover in present-day Canada.
"An Alice Munro story zooms effortlessly through time zones, spans generations and offers up more detail and description than do many full-length contemporary novels." Maclean's
"She is the best fiction writer in North America." The Vancouver Sun
"Open Secrets is a book that dazzles with its faith in language and in life." New York Times Book Review
About the Author
Alice Munro is the author of seven previous books: a novel, Lives of Girls and Women, and six collections of stories — Dance of the Happy Shades, Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You, The Beggar Maid, The Moons of Jupiter, The Progress of Love, and Friend of My Youth. The stories in Open Secrets have appeared in The New Yorker and The Paris Review. She and her husband live in Clinton, Ontario, near Late Huron, and in Comox, British Columbia.

Don't know why? you need to read more Sci-Fi
You can tell from the comments here, who the sci-fi fans are. The most obvious application for these types of screens is for HUD's, the dream app being the Augmented Reality goggles that feature in a number of sci-fi books - check out Halting State by Charles Stross amongst others. An example from this book is the police-net goggles, that allow the copper to see tags against each property they look at / walk past showing details of the residents, flagging up the crims and the neds etc.

AA1 ftw!
I've got the very basic AA1 (£180ish from Amazon), and I love it, netbooks are supposed to be small, cheap and portable, and the AA1 just is :)
I can watch films on it, browse, send emails, do small office type things (docs and spreadsheets) - yes the battery life is a downer but I can totally forgive it because of the plus points.
And the touchpad just takes a bit of getting used to, it's no biggie.
And the biggest point is cost - the eee 1000 costs almost twice as much, do you get double the functionality? Double the fun?..... no, you don't. Case closed.

I thought the little You-Tube video was quite funny, it can't have cost more than about £20 to make and showed at least someone, somewhere, in Nbr 10 has a sense of humour - formerly a lost art for denzines of that abode. Possibly the first time I've ever had something positive to say about them!
Boffins: Roadrunner hypercomputer could drive a car
@Harry Stottle
"The reason for its failure is that, in order to be able to do the - admittedly impressive - things it can do, it has to spend the whole time listening to what's going on in the world in order to make an intelligent decision "Should I be reacting to that noise?"...
However, given enough processing power, the job of parsing all the input data from the world around it and deciding if it was necessary or worth could be handled by a subroutine who's sole purpose was just that. That's what a virtual intelligence will have to be - a pile of subroutines which shout for attention from the main decision making process when something needs a reaction - and the reaction would be delegated to another subroutine.
You just need three things -
1. Inputs from the world around you - camera's, mic's, internet connection (of course) and satellite spying gear, and routines to monitor, filter and pass the relevant data to....

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - The odds hitting a deer with your car are on the rise in Wisconsin.
That's according to an annual report from State Farm Insurance. The report shows that your odds of hitting a deer on the road have increased to one in 79 this year, compared to one in 88 last year.
A La Crosse State farm agent, Kyle Visker, says deer are involved in an estimated 18-thousand crashes each year in Wisconsin with the highest number of accidents in November.
"This year through now, it's been a little bit worse that last year," says Visker. "But it's pretty typical. It's just a seasonal phenomena that we've had. And actually state of Wisconsin, we rank 7th in the nation in number of deer hits. So it's kind of a big thing in our area."
The Wisconsin State Patrol says the prime time to hit a deer is usually around dawn and dusk.
In the next few weeks because of the buck rut and hunting seasons-during the times mentioned above-officers say drivers need to pay attention and slow down.

Following the release of the most-viewed videos of the year, YouTube has also released the most-viewed ads on YouTube for 2011. Keep in mind this excludes music videos and movie trailers. It's no surprise to us that Volkswagen's 'The Force' 2011 Super Bowl commercial takes-away the number one ad spot this year, having already captured the #9 spot on the overall most-viewed video list.
Also see: YouTube Releases Most-Viewed Videos of 2011
YouTube remarks "that the majority of YouTube's top "ads" of 2011 never appeared on traditional TV at all" and "Videos like T-Mobile's Royal Wedding, itself a spoof of the JK Wedding Dance, were made for the web and made to amuse, entertain, and to be passed around, as are mini-movies like DC Shoe's Gymkhana Four, stunts like Hot Wheel's record jump, and Old Spice's "Scent Vacation."
From YouTube's blog post:
Most watched video ads of the year (eliminating music videos and trailers):
1. VW – The Force
2. T-Mobile – Royal Wedding
3. Chrysler – Imported From Detroit
4. DC Shoes – Ken Block's Gymkhana Four: The Hollywood Megamercial
5. smartwater – Jennifer Aniston goes viral

Here's the most-viewed YouTube Ad of 2011 — 'The Force: Volkswagen Commercial'
Even VW's 2011 Ad received about 10 million views before the Super Bowl even aired, as they released the commercial on YouTube 2 weeks before the Super Bowl.
As we can see the spectrum of advertising shifting, specifically that of online advertising, what do you see as the next quantum-leap for advertisers wishing to capture a large market share of views online.

Milton Police Chief Deborah Harrell is defending one of her officers after he canceled an ambulance that was called to the shooting of 16-year-old Alex Koser on Sunday. That same ambulance was recalled to the scene seven minutes later when paramedics detected cardiac activity. Despite the delay, Milton officials say Koser would not have survived even if the ambulance arrived when it was first called.
Harrell admits the officer shouldn't have canceled the ambulance, but she also said Koser never had a pulse. But Joseph Bryant, a Lt. with the Cobb County Fire Department had a different take on the situation.
"Just because they don't have a pulse doesn't mean they are dead and the ambulance needs to be canceled," Bryant said. "As far as our standard operating procedure we normally cancel the ambulance."
CBS Atlanta asked Harrell if her department should change its policies and procedures.
"No. I would be very uncomfortable making a blanket rule saying an officer can't cancel a resource," Harrell said.
Cobb County isn't the only jurisdiction with policies in place that restrict who can cancel an ambulance. Fulton and Gwinnett counties both allow only firefighters or paramedics to cancel ambulances when there are critical or life threatening injuries.
"The police officers do get some first aid training, but as a general rule the fire department is going to be more trained. They are going to be paramedics or EMTS, so they are going to be more qualified to make those determinations," Bryant said.
Milton police have charged 46-year-old Eric Brandon with murder for the shooting death of Koser, his stepson. Brandon has also been charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He remains in the Fulton County Jail.

Some highlights of the STICU
Unit Accomplishments
In March, 2008, the STICU became the first unit at VCUMC to
receive the AACN- Beacon Award. This award recognizes
excellence in critical care, evidence based practices with
positive patient outcomes, healthy work environment and
nursing research.
30% of the eligible nursing staff holds certification in
critical care (CCRN). The STICU has an active support system
to encourage and prepare staff to achieve and maintain
85% of the nursing staff has a BSN or higher degrees
62 % of eligible nursing staff has advanced to Clinical Nurse
III and Clinical Nurse IV levels within The Professional
Advancement Program.
The STICU uses a shared governance model to engage and develop
nursing staff to improve patient outcomes, advance nursing
practice, promote professional accountability and foster a
healthy work environment. The unit structure consists of the
following committees: Leadership Team, Evidence Based
Practice, Education, Scheduling, Family Centered Care and
Recognition and Retention.
Evidence Based Practice
The STICU strives to provide the best care using evidence
based practice to improve patient outcomes. Through nursing
autonomy and empowerment, STICU bedside nurses are leaders who
have developed nurse driven protocols to dramatically decrease
the incidence of catheter related bloodstream infection and
ventilator associated pneumonia. These protocols have been
adopted hospital wide with sustained reductions in nosocomial
infections. In collaboration with the Wound Care Team, STICU
nursing staff championed the use of a colloidal skin care
product to decrease the incidence of sacral pressure ulcers.
Results of this work have been shared nationally. Currently, a
nursing research study to replicate the project is underway.
Family Centered Care
The STICU has implemented the Critical Care Family Assistance
Program (CCFAP) which was developed by the CHEST Foundation to
respond to the needs of families of critically ill patients.
The unit's CCFAP program is led by Janet Holloway, RN, BS,
Clinical Nurse IV, who collaborates with bedside nurses,
interdisciplinary team members and families to coordinate
resources and family care conferences while supporting family
presence. The CCFAP is upheld by the STICU's strong commitment
to relationship based care and flexible visiting hours
Community Outreach
STICU nurses mentor many students from various schools and
programs, including nursing, paramedic, and military Special
The STICU is active in VCU Department of Trauma Injury and
Violence Prevention Program. Christi Adams, RN, Nurse
Clinician for the STICU is the program leader for the GR-ACY
program (Get Real: Alcohol Choices and Consequences for
Youth). Through interactive educational workshops, simulation
activities and direct observation of trauma patients, the
choices and consequences involved in alcohol and drug related
activities are explored. Participants observe the real life
consequences of drinking alcohol and driving by observing
patients being cared for in the STICU. Bedside nurses mentor
the GR-ACY participants throughout the program.

Sled dog slaughter part of pattern: report
The Inuit have a word for it, qimmiijagtauniq, meaning "the slaughter of many dogs."
But during an Inuit-led inquiry into the government-mandated killing of thousands of sled dogs in the 1950s and '60s it became clear the word stands for much, much more.
"The killing of qimmiit (sled dogs) has become a flashpoint in Inuit memories of the changes imposed on their lives by outsiders," says the inquiry's final report after two years of hearings in 13 communities in Nunavut's Baffin region.
Not only does the report dismiss a previous RCMP investigation into the mass shootings as "overly legalistic," it uses them as a window through which to view two generations of well-intentioned but misguided government policy.
And, the report concludes, an apology is due.
"I recommend that the government of Canada formally acknowledge that the high rates of suicide, substance abuse, incarceration and social dysfunction among Inuit are in part symptoms of intergenerational trauma caused by historical wrongs," writes James Igloliorte, head of the Qikiqtani Truth Commission.
Officials with the federal government and the RCMP were not available to comment on the commission's report.
The commission is the first large-scale Inuit attempt to reconstruct what happened to them between 1950 and 1975, when Inuit in the Baffin region went from living in more than 100 small, mobile camps to 13 permanent communities. It's long been accepted in the Eastern Arctic that the federal government enforced the moves through the slaughter of up to 20,000 sled dogs, which robbed the Inuit of their mobility and their means of living a traditional life.
Tales still circulate of hunters entering a trading post and leaving to find their dogs had been shot. Others tell of dogs being killed as they cowered under buildings, their carcasses piled on the sea ice.
In 2006, the RCMP conducted its own investigation into the slaughter. It found no evidence of a plot and concluded the dogs were shot for humanitarian, safety and health reasons.
But few Inuit co-operated with that inquiry, which relied mostly on government records and the testimony of former officers or other public servants. The commission combined both government records and the memories of about 350 Inuit to reach its own conclusions.
It found the dogs, used to camp life, were sometimes a hazard in the closer confines of a community. But the government response was disastrous.
Dog ordinances required owners to chain their animals, in a land where chains were unavailable. It required dogs to be muzzled, which stopped them from eating snow for hydration and removed their defence against polar bears or wolves. Owners were supposed to be 16, an age that meant nothing to Inuit even if they knew how old they were.
As a result, says the report, "it became easier to shoot qimmiit than go through the process outlined in the dog ordinance." It says that the RCMP review did not consider "the inappropriateness of the law under which qimmiit were killed."
"The (RCMP) also dismissed Inuit memories of the killings as false, or arising from faulty memories, and condemned Inuit leaders who brought the incidents to public notice as being motivated by a desire for monetary compensation."
It's a pattern the commission found over and over — southern bureaucrats imposing southern solutions, always in a sincere belief that it was for the good of the Inuit.
"The dog ordinance was completely consistent with standard government policy that Inuit must, at their own expense, accommodate newcomers' needs and wants."
Settlement sites were chosen because they were handy to sea access or flight paths, but they weren't close to food animals. Wildlife officials restricted hunting without consulting those who had lived with the animals for centuries. That forced the Inuit to hide the catches they needed for survival.
Inuit understandings of kinship, marriage and adoption were ignored. Those diagnosed with diseases such as tuberculosis were wrested from their families and shipped south, sometimes literally scooped from their camp by helicopter.
"They took the parents — mother and father — and the ships would pull away and the kids were left standing on the beach," one former bureaucrat told the commission.
Another said: "If it was a mother with a baby in the hood, the radiologist would pick the baby up and give it to whoever was standing closest."
Many Inuit were happy to move into communities because of promised housing, jobs and education. Sometimes they were moved so quickly they weren't even allowed to bring the equipment they depended on.
Too often the promises were unkept. Families were left shivering in tents over winter or sleeping 20 people in a four-by-eight-metre shack.
Relocations at the behest of one government department or another were common. One group was moved four times in about 12 years.
And it was all done by officials who rarely stayed more than two or three years, not long enough to learn the language or culture of those whose lives they controlled.
"Even though the environment and culture were completely foreign to them, most Qallunaat (whites) thought they knew better than Inuit," the report says. "Throughout the period, Qallunaat demonstrated a sense of cultural superiority and a belief that their role was to lead Inuit as quickly as possible into the 'modern' world."

Solutions for a 75-Square Foot Kitchen: IKEA Video
Apartment Therapy recently featured these videos from IKEA that show some solutions for small spaces. We wanted to especially point out this video that shows a country-style kitchen, in a small city apartment. Take a look at how they deal with a small space in the city — just 7 square meters, or 75 square feet:
What do you think? Is this sort of setup practical in your small space? We really like the workflow of the kitchen, although we do think those high ceilings aren't always easily found!

Hmm, trying to remember all of the kitchens in the homes that I've ever lived in . . .
One was just one side: countertops, stove, fridge and sink on one side only--in a sort of separate room--with space for breakfast table. This was an Miami apartment, probably built around the 40s or so.
Two other kitchens were in their separate room and the layouts were in the shape of an U, with the opening of the U where the entrance to the kitchen is/was. Both were also apartments.
The last two homes, also apartments, (the last one being my current home) had an open space floor plan. The kitchen was separated from the dining area by a bar/counter. So the shape of the kitchen is also an U. The kitchen is completely visible from the living area, the dining are and the front door.
In my current home, I have the sink on the side of the bar/counter, the stove in the middle against the wall and the refrigerator directly across from the sink. There are cabinets between the sink, stove and fridge. One set of cabinets has wasted space because the whole thing goes all the way to the adjacent wall, so the space in there is too deep to reach--anything can get lost in there. Also, there's some sort of architectural crappy feature that makes the drywall in the kitchen lower, so I can't have ceiling-high (with the rest of the apt) cabinets. My pantry is tiny and the shelving in there is so inconvenient.
The solutions offered in this video are not realistic--at least for me.
Where is the refrigerator?
@Dana--in a European kitchen, the fridge is probably small enough to fit under the island counter top.
I like the layout, but this kind of design is only applicable to people who own their own homes. I would really like to see more articles on rental kitchens, especially articles that start with the premise that you can't make permanent changes (including paint.)
Gotta say, too, that 75 sq. ft. sounds positively palatial compared to my 56-sq.-ft. apt. kitchen (which I've found perfectly adequate for most of my cooking, and really only occasionally frustrating...)
I second Courtney L's request. I would love to see the same.
I 3rd Courtney's request.

With less than a week until the NHL Trade Deadline, check out the latest trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat.
And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates.
From Pierre LeBrun
While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact he's an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie.
LeBrun doesn't think John Gibson or Frederik Andersen are on the block, so by process of elimination, Viktor Fasth might be an option. He's signed for another season at $2.9 million.
Meanwhile, Washington Capitals GM George McPhee told LeBruun that his priority is still finding a suitor for Martin Erat.
"The only thing I'm working on that has to be done is moving (Martin) Erat," Caps GM George McPhee told LeBrun on ESPN.com. "There are some teams interested. He still wants out. I'd love to be able to do it this weekend. But we'll see."
Where the Edmonton Oilers are concerned, LeBrun hears that winger Ales Hemsky is getting decent traction on the market and that it's a guarantee he gets dealt before Wednesday. LeBrun also says that veteran winger Ryan Smyth and Nick Schultz could be moved to contenders.
Finally, there's no contract extension on the horizon for pending unrestricted free agent David Legwand, but with a full no-movement clause, Nashville Predators GM Poile says there's limit in his ability to explore the trade market.
Unless an offer blows Poile away and is something Legwand wants, there's a good chance he'll stay.
In an update on the Vancouver Canucks, LeBrun writes that the Philadelphia Flyers could be interested in centre Ryan Kesler or defenceman Alexander Edler.
If Kesler is in their sights, LeBrun imagines that the Canucks' asking price in any Kesler deal would start with Brayden Schenn. But he's not sure the Flyers would go there.
Crunch Time For Phillips?
TSN Hockey Darren Dreger tweeted Friday that the Ottawa Senators' contract talks with defenceman Chris Phillips are expected to continue. He adds that a trade is still an option, with the Boston Bruins believed to be among teams with interest.
Eyes On Brodeur?
Randy Miller of NJ.com writes that Chicago Blackhawks director of player personnel Pierre Gauthier and pro scout Dennis Bonvie attended Thursday night's Devils-Blue Jackets game, as well as Minnesota Wild assistant general manager Jim Nill. Miller mentions that, according to rumours, both teams have been linked to Martin Brodeur.
Still Shopping Around
Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun wrote this week that the Senators could be interested in St. Louis Blues winger Chris Stewart and adds that the team likely won't be involved in the race for for Thomas Vanek and Matt Moulson unless the asking price goes down.
Garrioch also reports that there's been interest in forward Milan Michalek. The Sun story says it's not known if he's talked contract with GM Bryan Murray and a decision may have to be made before Wednesday.
Ward Off?
Tough decisions lie ahead for Carolina Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.
Dreger says that the team is open to trading any one of its three goaltenders ahead of Wednesday's trade deadline, including veteran Cam Ward.
The Hurricanes have 61 points through 59 games this season and sit five points out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.
Market For Mez?
Philly.com writer Sam Carchidi writes that Flyers GM Paul Holmgren faces a tough decision on pending UFS defenceman Andrej Meszaros - trade him or keep him for the stretch run.
Carchidi adds that the Boston Bruins - without Dennis Seidenberg for the season - are among the teams reportedly interested and that Bruins captain Zdeno Chara could be 'nudging the Bruins to add Meszaros.'
Carchidi also speculates that the Flyers could get a third-round pick or a prospect for Meszaros.
No Big Sales In Sunrise
Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon may be a seller, but he won't be conducting an all-out fire sale, writes George Richards of the Miami Herald.
"We're going to do what's best for the Panthers to build a championship team," Tallon said during the recent Olympic break. "We're not blowing this thing up. If we can sell some assets to get better, we'll do that. It depends what happens in the next few weeks. We'll be aggressive either way."
There's ample trade speculation surrounding pending UFAs Tim Thomas, Brad Boyes and Tom Gilbert, but Tallon said all three, 'deserve to stick around if they so wish.' "Those guys have had good years and deserve the chance to stay," he said. "I'm happy with the way they've played, happy with their professionalism."
Richards adds that other free agents the Panthers could offer include Marcel Goc, Mike Weaver and Dmitry Kulikov.

Found November 27, 2012 on hardballchat.com:
PLAYERS: Ryan Madson, Ernesto Frieri, Albert Pujols, Zack Greinke, Jonathan Broxton, Aroldis Chapman
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia Phillies
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia Phillies
The Los Angeles Angels will look back on 2012 as a grace disappointment, especially after signing Albert Pujols and acquiring Zack Greinke, only to miss out on the playoffs altogether. Blowing 22 saves certainly did not help, and the Angels are acting quickly to repair the back end of their bullpen, looking to sign Ryan Madson to replace Ernesto Frieri as the team's closer for the 2013 MLB season. After pitching so well for the Philadelphia Phillies in numerous roles throughout his career, Madson settled on a one year deal with the Cincinnati Reds in 2012, only to miss almost the entire season after having to undergo Tommy John surgery. Now expected to be healthy in 2013, the Angles are close to signing Madson to a one year guaranteed deal to serve as their closer. It is not that they do not like Frieri, but that he fell out of favor as a closer, and the team prefers him in the set up role, which is just fine with Madson, who wants the chance to close games again, like he did so well with the Phillies in his final season in Philadelphia. It was rumored that the Phillies actually looked into bringing back Madson to close for them in 2013, but a deal could not be reached. The Reds also tried to have Madson come back and do what they wanted of him in 2012, but it appears as if Cincinnati will focus on signing Jonathan Broxton to close instead, giving them the opportunity to move Aroldis Chapman from closer into the starting rotation. Even f the Angels do sign Madson, it is expected to be one of just many moves they make this offseason. After committing so much money to players last Winter, Los Angeles is going to ramp up their efforts to win another World Series even more heading into the 2013 campaign. The Angels are hoping that they can afford to bring back Greinke and sign him for the long term, and they may still look to add another arm or two beyond that. Starting with Madson, however, provided he can stay healthy this year, is not a bad way to open. Or close, in Madson's case. The post MLB Rumors: Will Los Angeles Angles Sign Ryan Madson To Replace Ernesto Frieri As Closer? appeared first on Hardball Chat Baseball Blog.
