Postcards challenge expected changes to labour legislation Sending a message. Union says province's 3-month consultation period not long enough jane caulfield
The union • SEIU–West represents
workers in health care, education, municipalities, community-based organizations and retirement homes.
Metro in Saskatoon
A union representing 12,000 workers in Saskatchewan stuffed the government's mailbox with nearly 2,000 postcards yesterday. But these postcards aren't bringing greetings from a tropical vacation — members from the Service Employees International Union–West (SEIU–West) handed over the protest postcards at the Saskatoon cabinet office on Monday expressing concerns about expected changes to labour legislation. "We have no problem with fixing essential services. We have no problem with reviewing labour legislation," said union president Barbara Cape. "But we think it should be done in a more widespread, encompassing manner so that everybody gets a chance to be involved in the conversation." Cape said there will be harsh consequences for workers if new labour legislation is passed too quickly and a three-month consultation period with unions and workers wasn't long enough. The province has been working to fix its essentialservices legislation after a Queen's Bench judge ruled in February that current
law was unconstitutional. While examining this particular legislation the ministry made plans to overhaul 15 separate pieces of workplace-related laws in one omnibus labour bill, expected to be introduced in legislature later this fall. The ministry said listening to concerns are necessary when writing new legislation, especially to avoid or address what Labour Minister Don Morgan called "unnecessary consequence." "We urge everyone to wait and hear the bill when it is presented," said Morgan. Cape said there are a lot of people who still don't know how the changes would affect them. "Young workers, marginalized workers just do not have the opportunity to participate in these labour changes, and they're going to be the folks most impacted by these, so ... our government needs to step back and really give them a chance to have their voice heard." with files from The Canadian and CJWW Follow Jane Caulfield on Twitter @janecaulfield

Court ruling struck down labour law
Province readies appeal The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal will start hearing arguments Tuesday on a
lower court ruling that found the province's essential-services law unconstitutional. Labour Minister Don Morgan says the ruling broke new ground when it stated there is charter protection for the right to strike. Morgan says the province
wants to respect the right of unions to organize, but it doesn't want the right to strike enshrined in the Constitution. He also says the ruling could impact how legislation is drafted across Canada. The essential-services
legislation was introduced in December 2007 shortly after the Saskatchewan Party won its first provincial election. The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, representing about two dozen plaintiffs, challenged the law. The Canadian Press

New residence gives women an alternative to prison Kate's Place. Two-year pilot project offers residents bachelor suites while they receive drug treatment ALYSSA MCDONALD
A new residential housing unit is giving women an opportunity to get clean without having to go to jail. "When we started the Regina Drug Treatment Court, what we found is that many of the women simply failed and they failed because they were addicts and they didn't have any kind of stable residence. They were preyed upon, quick frankly," said Associate Chief Judge Clifford Toth. Women under the Regina Drug Treatment Court will now have the option to go to supportive residence, called Kate's Place, when completing court-mandated drug treatment. Prior to this twoyear pilot project, the only other option was going to jail.

Ford blames his ouster from office on 'left-wing politics' Conflict-of-interest case. T.O. mayor plans to appeal decision, vows to run again jessica smith
Metro in Toronto
Stubbornly believing he wasn't breaking the law on conflict of interest despite never having read it wasn't a good enough defence for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, a judge ruled Monday. Justice Charles Hackland found that Ford broke the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act in a council vote last February and ordered his seat vacated in 14 days. "Outright ignorance of the law will not suffice, nor will wilful blindness as to one's obligations," wrote the judge. One of Ford's key defences in the legal challenge brought by Toronto resident Paul Madger was that if he did in fact break the conflict-of-interest law, he did it honestly, in an error of judgment, which is a valid defence under the act. On the stand in September, Ford testified he knew all about conflict of interest despite never having read the act because his father had been an MPP. The judge
found that insufficient. In brief remarks to a throng of reporters at city hall, Ford said he will appeal the ruling and would "fight tooth and nail" to hold on to his job. If that fails, he will run for re-election. "I'm going to fight for the taxpayers like I always have," he said. He blamed the outcome on the left wing. "This comes down to left-wing politics," he said. "The left wing wants me out of here." Lawyer Clayton Ruby, who represented Madger, said Ford has no one to blame but himself. "While we're pleased to have won this case, we are also saddened by it. It is tragic that the mayor of a great city should bring himself to this," said Ruby. "Rob Ford did this to Rob Ford.... It could have been avoided if Rob Ford had used a bit of common sense and if he had played by the rules." Ruby said Ford should never have taken money from lobbyists for his football fund to begin with. But it was the mayor's decision months later to take part in a council vote concerning whether or not he should have to pay it back that landed him in trouble. Ford's staunch ally on council, Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti, announced he would be quitting Ford's executive committee in the wake of the decision.
Seeking clarification
Both sides confused over ruling

Justice Charles Hackland could have barred Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford from running again for seven years, but instead opted to disqualify him for the "current term." It was not immediately clear whether that meant Ford's term ended with his ouster, meaning he would be free to run in a possible byelection. Lawyer John Mascarin, a municipal law expert, called the ruling ambiguous, but said he believed Hackland "clearly" meant to bar Ford from running for office until the current council term is over in 2014. Both parties could write the judge to seek clarification, said Mascarin, who called the ruling "unprecedented." The judge did put his declaration on hold for 14 days to give the city time to deal with the situation. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Carney to head Bank of England Crossing the pond. Canada's central banker is 'going to where the challenges are greatest' Mark Carney is leaving the Bank of Canada for one of the most storied financial positions in the world — to take over the Bank of England at a pivotal time in its 318-year history. The announcement shocked observers on both sides of the pond, particularly as Carney had previously played down reports he was being considered, as he also played down rumours about joining the International Monetary Fund and the Liberal Party. But the Bank of England rumours turned out to have substance, although Carney on Monday said he had not formally applied for the job and only made the decision in the last two weeks. He insisted he was not leaving Canada in the lurch for the big job, however. "We have a system that works very well. It's been tested

Ottawa says Canadians will be able to be able to contribute an additional $500 a year on their Tax Free Savings Accounts starting Jan. 1.

New York City. Accused in insider trading case released on $5M bail A former hedge fund portfolio manager accused of passing along information in one of the largest insider trading fraud cases in history appeared in a Manhattan court for the first time Monday and was released on $5 million US bail, though his movements were restricted. Mathew Martoma, 38, must post $2 million US in cash or property by next week to satisfy the new bail requirements, which will limit his travel to New York, New Jersey, Florida and Massachusetts. Martoma was arrested last week on charges that between 2006 and 2008, he helped to engineer one of the largest insider trading frauds in history. Martoma worked with CR Intrinsic Investors, an affiliate of SAC Capital Advisors. SAC is owned by Steven A. Cohen, one of the world's richest men. Martoma was not required to enter a plea, since an indictment has not been returned. "We took care of business today and we'll be back another day," said Martoma's lawyer, Charles Stillman. Martoma was arrested on Nov. 20. Prosecutors say he exploited an acquaintance with a medical school profes-

Buffett renews call for tax hike on 'ultrarich' Billionaire Warren Buffett is again calling for higher taxes on America's "ultrarich" and he's urging Congress to compromise on spending cuts and tax increases. Buffett said the current tax system has contributed to the growing gap between rich and poor. He said he supports President Barack Obama's proposal to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, but he'd prefer setting the point where taxes increase at $500,000 US income instead of the $250,000 US the White House proposed. Buffett expressed his views on fiscal policy Monday in an opinion article that appeared in The New York Times on the same day Congress returned from the Thanksgiving holiday. In the article, Buffett mocked the idea that investors would pull back if capital gains taxes increase. Buffett said he's never seen that happen even when capital gains taxes were above 25 per cent early in his investing career. The Associated Press

Buffett reiterated his call for a minimum tax of 30 per cent on income between $1 million and $10 million US, and a 35 per cent rate for income above that.

The European Union wants Canada to agree to compensate European companies for any losses that stem from changes to health, environment or safety rules in Canada, according to documents obtained by The Canadian Press. A recent draft of the investment chapter of the broad free-trade agreement that Canada and the EU are negotiating shows 50 pages of complex, widespread disagreement between the two governments over how their investors should be treated in the other's jurisdiction.

Bootlegging brothers Jack (Shia LaBeouf), Forrest (Tom Hardy) and Howard Bondurant (Jason Clarke) run a general store and gas station in their woodlands Virginia refuge, but their real coin comes from the illegal moonshine they make up in the hills. Local cops are inclined to look the other way — especially since older bros Forrest and Howard are not guys you want to rile.

The fevered pace at the Weta Digital studio near Wellington, New Zealand, will last nearly until the actors walk the red carpet Nov. 28 for the world premiere. But after The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hits theatres, there's more work to
be done. Weta Digital is the centrepiece of a filmmaking empire that Jackson and close collaborators have built in his New Zealand hometown, realizing his dream of bringing a slice of Hollywood to Wellington. It's a one-stop shop for making major movies — not only his own, but other blockbusters like Avatar and The Avengers and hoped-for blockbusters like next year's Man of Steel. Along the way, Jackson has become revered here, even receiving a knighthood. His humble demeanour and crumpled appearance appeal to distinctly New Zealand values, yet his modesty belies his influence. He's also attracted criticism along the way. The special-effects workforce of 150 on The Lord of the Rings trilogy a decade ago now numbers 1,100. Only five of Weta Digital's workers are actual employees, however,
while the rest are contractors. Many accept the situation because movie work often comes irregularly but pays well. Union leaders, though, say the workers lack labour protections existing in almost any other industry. Like many colleagues, Weta Digital's director, Joe Letteri, came to New Zealand in 2001 to work on the Rings trilogy for two years. The work kept coming, so he bought a house in Wellington and stayed. "People come here because they know it's their chance to do something really great and to get it up on the screen," he said in a recent interview. Jackson, who declined to be interviewed for this story, launched Weta in 1993 with fellow filmmakers Jamie Selkirk and Richard Taylor. Named after an oversized New Zealand insect, the company later was split into its digital arm and Weta Workshop, which makes
Big business
The New Zealand government calculates that feature films contribute $560 million each year to New Zealand's economy. Like many countries, New Zealand offers incentives and rebates to film companies and will contribute about $100 million toward the $500 million production costs of The Hobbit trilogy.
props and costumes. Beyond having creativity as a filmmaker, Jackson has proved a savvy businessman, Letteri says. "The film business in general is volatile, and visual effects has to be sitting right on the crest of that wave," Letteri says. "We don't get asked to do something that somebody has seen before."

Lohan wants more small screen action
the word
Dorothy Robinson firstname.lastname@example.com
If you didn't catch the masterpiece that was Sunday night's Liz and Dick on Lifetime, you missed out on the pop culture phenomenon of the month. Critics had a mighty fine time lambasting what was to be Lindsay Lohan's return to acting prominence. Instead, her performance seemed like it was best suited for community theatre, if community theatre were held in a prison. But Lohan will not let a little thing like public ridicule get her down— RadarOnline.com is reporting that now that she's gotten a taste of TV, she wants her own sitcom. "Lindsay has asked her manager and agent to look into getting her her own television sitcom," a source tells the website. "Lindsay feels that the small screen would be a

Charles in charge? Not anytime soon, it seems Prince Charles, who recently celebrated his 64th birthday, may be growing tired of being the longestwaiting heir to the throne in British history, as his 86-year-old mother, the Queen, shows no sign of stepping down.
"Impatient? Me? What a thing to suggest! Yes, of course I am," Charles joked with reporters recently, according to the Telegraph. "I'll run out of time soon. I shall have snuffed it if I'm not careful."

great way for her to revitalize her acting career and that a comedy would be the best bet. Lindsay feels most comfortable doing comedy and it was Charlie Sheen that told her she should do it. Charlie told Lindsay that it was an easy way to make very good money and help her to get her movie career back on track. Lindsay is loving the idea of having her own sitcom and would love to play someone in a story based on her crazy life." And honestly, judging from the attention Liz and Dick received, I'm sure Lifetime got some of the best ratings it has seen in years. So maybe it will be Lohan who will get the last laugh? (Ed note: Actually, no, scratch that ending. We'll all still be laughing about Liz and Dick for a long, long time.)

Looking for a winter fitness challenge? EMMA GODMERE
By starting a new, simple training routine now, you can set a goal of running your first race come 2013. Added bonus: You double your calorie burn when you run in the winter, as your body works to keep warm while you keep up your pace. But what if you've never run before? Where do you start? One of the first things a new runner should consider is finding a training buddy, says Shelley Beaubien, naStart sharing

tional clinics and training program administrator for Running Room Canada. "When you're starting out, you want to be able to talk while you're running," explains Beaubien. If you can continue a conversation, you're keeping a good pace. "If you're running too hard, you overtrain, you can get injured, or you drop out." Running with a friend ensures you stay motivated and safe. As the temperature dips, the weather poses more risks to runners, and a friend will be able to watch for signs of hypothermia. Beaubien emphasizes keeping your head, hands, and feet properly covered and warm while wearing appropriate training gear. First-timers should combine running and walking in intervals and set aside enough time to train three times a week at a time of day that works best for you, says Beaubien. New runners should also run for time and not distance as your body adapts to a new training routine. As your strength increases, you can increase the intensity or distance of your run. But the Running Room advises against expanding your distance program any more than about 10 per cent per week. By starting your training on the right foot, you're helping yourself stick to a healthy routine for the long haul. "You want to make sure that you're not doing it just for a short period of time," says Beaubien. "You want to think about it as a lifestyle change ... a way to get healthy and stay healthy the rest of your life."

No matter what your circumstance, if the need is there, The Salvation Army is there to help. The Waterston Centre/Waterston House in Regina offers men a place to go when they are in need. As a multi-faceted facility, help is available at almost any level, from a short-term shelter, to long-term residential housing. Currently, Waterston has been running at capacity and is hoping to expand their services in the spring of 2013. "It is getting harder and harder for guys to find affordable accommodations in Regina," says Ben Lippers, executive director of The Salvation Army Waterston Centre & Kate's Place. "Regina is starting to see growth we have never seen before." With more and more people heading to Regina looking for work, the need for shelter increases. With the growth, Lippers says the cold weather is not helping the cause. Currently, the Waterston Centre is looking to partner with other shelters in Regina to create an Extreme Weather Shelter to ensure everyone who is in need of a bed will get one in the bitter cold.

Beef and Butternut Squash Stew goodness in 45 minutes Almost by definition, beef stew isn't a weeknight-friendly dish. That's mostly because stew meat is tough and requires a long simmer to become tender. But who has time for that at the end of a long day? Enter this speedy beef stew that could be tossed together and on the table in 45 minutes. The first step is replacing the meat. Stew meat is out. But tender sirloin tips work perfectly when you brown them first, then set them aside while the other ingredients cook. The meat is returned to the pot toward the end of cooking. The result is a perfect taste and texture.
In saucepan over mediumhigh, heat oil. Add beef, in batches if needed to avoid crowding pan, and cook, turning, until browned on all sides but still rare at centre, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate.

Ingredients • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 1/2 lbs sirloin beef tips, cut into 1-inch chunks • 3 cups cubed butternut squash (1/2-inch cubes) • 1 cup baby carrots, halved • 1 large yellow onion, diced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes • 2 cups beef broth • 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1/2 tsp dried thyme • 1/2 tsp mustard powder • Salt and black pepper

Add tomatoes, broth, paprika, thyme and mustard powder. Bring to simmer and cook until the carrots and squash are tender, about 20 minutes. Return the beef to the pot, as well as any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. The Associated Press

Get all beefy
• Grass fed beef has a healthier fat profile.
• Grass fed lamb or bison is a great option.
Theresa Albert DHN, RNCP myfriendinfood.com
• Any ground meat product needs to be thoroughly cooked to 72 C. The surface area of a ground product moves any existing bacteria from the outside, where it is more easily cooked to a safe temperature to the inside, where even a small amount left undercooked can make you sick.
With all the beef in the news recently, one has to wonder if it deserves a place on your healthy plate. You have to weigh the pros and cons (and measure your desire for flame grilled against them). From a nutritional perspective, you can get what beef boasts elsewhere:
The days of enjoying your meat rare may be done unless you really know your source and have the trust in fate of a skydiver, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy beef.
• Mussels have almost as much zinc and much more B12. • Chicken thighs have about half the amount of iron.

Five is the magic number in this Roast Beef Tenderloin It's all about harmony and yinyang. And while that sounds tritely New Age, it really is the key to Chinese cuisine. Because, as with so much of Asian cooking, the blend of seasonings known as five-spice powder is intended to trigger a sense of balance in the mouth and nose. How? A selection of spices that simultaneously hit notes of warm and cool, sweet and bitter, savoury and searing. And that's what you get with five-spice powder, a mix of fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns. Like spice blends around the world, the proportions of those ingredients vary by region, but some variant of it is used throughout China. Ingredients • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 tbsp five-spice powder • 1 tbsp kosher salt • 1/2 tbsp black pepper • Two 2-lb beef tenderloins • 2 large yellow onions, chopped • 2 large carrots, chopped • 4 cloves garlic, chopped • 2 cups beef stock • 1 cup red wine • 1 tbsp instant flour

2. Use paper towels to pat dry tenderloins, then rub them all over with the spice blend. Set on a plate, cover loosely with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days. An hour before roasting, remove tenderloins from refrigerator

3. Heat the oven to 375 F. 4. Lightly coat a roasting pan
with cooking spray. Scatter onions, carrots and garlic in pan, then set roasting rack above them. Set tenderloins on the rack and roast 40 minutes, or until beef reaches 120 F for rare. Remove rack from pan, cover the meat with foil, then set aside to rest for 10
minutes. 5. Meanwhile, set roasting pan over medium-high heat on stovetop (you may need to use two burners). Add stock and wine; bring to simmer, scraping bottom of pan. When liquid has reduced by about half, strain and discard solids. Return the pan and sprinkle in the flour. Heat until thickened.

Don't get caught off guard — have a post-baby budget Alison on Money. What to expect when you're not expecting Your money
Alison Griffiths email@example.com
Regina and Monty, both 28 years old, have good news and bad news. First the good: They're expecting! Now the bad: It was completely unplanned and this high earning ($230,000 household income) couple doesn't have a dime of savings beyond their RRSPs. They did have a plan, which was to start their family five years hence and they were on the verge of putting aside their free-spending ways in order to save up so Regina could quit work for a couple of years. That's not going to happen, so Monty is wondering about the tax implications of Plan B — taking money out of their RRSPs for cash flow when their precious little bundle arrives in March and Regina's income is

reduced. Cleo Hamel of H&R Block offers an important caution about this plan. "If Regina deposits money into an RRSP, she has to leave the deposit untouched for at least 90 days before she can claim the deduction." This information particularly applies to Regina and Monty because they use year-end bonuses of about $18,000 to make their RRSP contributions. Generally they make the lump sum deposits in January. Hamel also recommends that they project Regina's tax situation while she is on maternity leave. "Maternity leave benefits

are generally only 55 per cent of your employment income to a maximum of about $445 per week," she notes. "However, the amount Service Canada withholds for taxes is about 10 per cent, which is lower than the minimum federal tax rate." Often new mothers (my daughter found herself in this situation) end up owing tax in their maternity leave year because the withholding amount wasn't sufficient, even with the child tax credit. RRSP withdrawals are subject to a higher withholding for tax purposes. A financial institution would hold back 30 per
cent on a $20,000 withdrawal, for example. Depending on when Regina takes her leave of absence, that might not be sufficient to cover her tax bill for the year. With high incomes, these surprised parents-to-be have an opportunity to save like Scrooge over the next few months and put aside a significant sum. But they must immediately draw up a post-baby budget to figure out exactly what they need monthly to pay the bills. Contact Alison at griffiths.alison@ gmail.com or alisongriffiths.ca
Picture Christmas Day. Family, friends and loved ones have gathered to eat a fantastic meal and exchange gifts. You draw names and get to open your presents first. As you unwrap each gift, you quickly realize that you've overspent on the presents you're about to give. Your brother-in-law goes next and opens your gift to him — a $200 Hugo Boss wallet. Meanwhile, his gift to you was a $20 pair of mitts. Your sister gives you the evil eye because your gift just trumped her gift to her husband. Now you're really uncomfortable. We've all been in this position. Unclear gift expectations can lead to unpleasant and unintended emotional consequences over the holidays.

Fight depression with a chat. istock
It might have worked for our ancestors, but in today's complex social environment, bottling up or ignoring troubled emotions is like adding fuel to the fire. "There's a lot of depression that's not acknowledged and not expressed," Ross says. "Men feel ashamed of it. There's a lot of stress derived from holding it in so much, and physical health suffers too." Ross stresses that opening up to someone isn't the weak route, and that taking care of your mental health is paramount to a fulfilling life. "It's old wiring that doesn't suit us in the 21st century," he says. "What is thought of as strength and what is weakness, we have it backward. Vulnerability is human and it takes courage to be open and the more open you are, the more fully alive you are."
perience and set expectations in advance. With your partner, discuss your total holiday budget for the season and how much each of you will contribute for family functions, dinners, gifts, baking, parties and entertainment. If it's hard to keep track of everything, draw up a simple spreadsheet, list your financial commitments and total it up. Talk about your holiday budget limitations and expectations. For example, you may have set aside $500 and have to buy gifts for 10 people, meanwhile your honey may have $1,000 to spend on five people. It's also important to agree on how much to spend on each other. If you can't agree on a dollar value, consider putting money towards a joint gift like a kitchen appliance or a weekend spa vacation. Or, instead of gifts, you could make a donation to your favourite charity. Next, call your extended family and agree on gift value limits, like $50 per person, or whether you want to draw names and only buy for one person. Do the same with co-workers and friends. Don't be afraid to be frugal when holiday shopping. It's 100 per cent okay to use coupons and take advantage of deals to save money.

Depression. Men should confide in each other to help ease pain
When it comes to men's mental health, there's a fundamental difference between the sexes. Women tend, generally, to look to support from partners, or they seek support from a network of girlfriends or family. Failing that, they often seek professional counsellors. But either way, they express emotions and talk through a problem. Men often don't want to talk about their feelings, and may even deny having problems, emotional or otherwise. "Guys," says holistic life coach and counsellor Ken Ross, a certified professional coach who leads men's groups, "traditionally, we tend to be islands. When it comes to men confiding in men, it doesn't usually happen." This basic survival of the fittest wiring goes back to the cavemen. Appearing strong and problemfree meant other males were less likely to challenge or attack.

How to handle tricky French onion soup What is the proper way to eat French onion soup? The cheese just seems to string on forever, so it's hard to eat like spaghetti and soup shouldn't need a fork to eat. Charles The butler
askcharlesthebutler@ metronews.ca For more, visit charlesmacpherson.com
Firstly, French onion soup is not an item that should be served at a formal dinner because of the difficulty of eating it. This soup should be kept for the family dinner table. Now remember, for every rule, there is always a wrong and right way of breaking it when necessary. I saw one successful way to serve French onion soup at formal restaurants in the '70s.
A small pair of scissors would be served along with the soup so you could cut the strings of cheese. Now, as fun as that is, it just isn't practical. I mean, who has 12 pairs of scissors standing by for dinner parties? So back to the question. How do you eat French onion soup without making a mess? Well, all of that cheese and bread does make for a difficult battle. I have called numerous friends in the etiquette business and asked their advice. Thankfully, there seems to be consensus. I personally wrap the cheese around the soup spoon and then press it against the side of the bowl to "cut" the cheese. I then fill the soup spoon with liquid and bring it up to my mouth. Ideally, you should never use your fingers, but trust me, we all have! My last tip? Never order this with clients, it is truly an eat-at- home only menu item.

Despite the loss, veteran receiver Nik Lewis remained optimistic about a 2012 season that saw the Stampeders overcome a slow start and knock off the defending Grey Cup champions in the West Division final.

'New approach' ahead in lockout negotiations NHL. League, players' union agree to allow mediators into stalled CBA negotiations The NHL and NHL Players' Association are hoping some objective voices can help bring an end to their labour dispute. With negotiations stalled on a new collective bargaining agreement, the sides have agreed to allow U.S. federal mediators into the process — something they tried without success on a couple of occasions
prior to the cancellation of the 2004-05 season. "While we have no particular level of expectation going into this process, we welcome a new approach in trying to reach a resolution of the ongoing labour dispute at the earliest possible date," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Monday. Added NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr: "We look forward to their involvement as we continue working to reach an equitable agreement for both the players and the owners." The mediation will be non-
binding, meaning the sides will not be forced to go along with suggestions or recommendations made by Scot L. Beckenbaugh and John Sweeney. Those mediators are scheduled to meet separately with the league and union on Wednesday. Beckenbaugh was acting director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service during the NHL's last lockout and sat in on sessions at that time. One of those occurred just three days before commissioner Gary Bettman cancelled the entire season in February 2005.
Where they stand •
The NHL and NHLPA haven't met since last week, when the union tabled a proposal that Gary Bettman quickly labelled as one that left the sides "far apart."
They've managed to reach some common ground on a 50-50 revenue split, but are divided on the amount of additional payments the league will make to help ease the transition.
Grey Cup ratings soar, but fall short of national record Television ratings for the 100th Grey Cup game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders fell short of the modern national record set in 2009, according to overnight data from BBM Canada. An average audience of 5.8 million viewers on TSN and RDS tuned in to see the Argonauts beat the Stampeders 35-22 at home. The average of 5.5 million viewers on TSN is the largest English audience for the game since a new ratings measurement system caused sports TV ratings to skyrocket. But the overall average falls short of the 6.1 million total viewers who watched Montreal beat Saskatchewan shortly after the new system was introduced in 2009. The numbers for that game were buoyed by a larger audience on Frenchlanguage RDS. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Champion Argos about more than talent

Ricky Ray saw it coming out of training camp. These Toronto Argonauts had a special bond. They might not have been the biggest, fastest or most heralded. But they had each other's back. Ray, who came over from the Edmonton Eskimos in a blockbuster off-season trade, credits GM Jim Barker and rookie head coach Scott Milanovich for choosing the right pieces in assembling what was to become a Grey Cup champion squad. "Scott and the staff and Jim coming out of training camp didn't necessarily pick the best, most talented guys," said the veteran quarterback. "They

picked guys that were going to be good teammates over some of those guys. "That's where it's got to start, it's got to start with the locker-room and how everybody gets along and everybody
playing for each other out there. I think that's been the biggest difference for us." Barker says he and Milanovich both believe "it's not necessarily the 46 best players, but it's the best 46 players." "That means the 46 that can work together the best," the GM said in an interview Monday. "It was about finding the right blend of players — of veterans and rookies." Milanovich referred to that brotherhood in his pre-game speech before Sunday's 35-22 championship win over the Calgary Stampeders. "Find strength in your teammates when things gets tough," he said.

March 21 - April 20 Mars united with Pluto today means you are intensely ambitious. It also means you don't need other people. You can do it on your own. Identify your goal, and go out and get it. Who is going to stop you?
April 21 - May 21 You are a law unto yourself at the moment. You believe you can get away with anything. However, just because you are able to break the rules does not mean you have to. Is there another way?
May 22 - June 21 There is a danger that you will let slip information it might have been wiser to keep to yourself. However, once it is common knowledge, there is no point trying to deny it. Face up to the truth — and potential embarrassment.
June 22 - July 23 One-to-one relationships are under heavy stars at the moment, so be careful how you speak to partners and loved ones. Above all, don't let minor disputes become major feuds. Control your emotions, whatever the provocation.
July 24 - Aug. 23 Your workload is likely to increase dramatically today and if your social life is busy too, you could suffer health-wise. Clearly, you need to cut back on what you do, if only in the short term. Give that party a miss.
Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You seem to be a lot more assertive and ambitious of late and that's good. Others will be mightily impressed by what you manage to accomplish but don't do it just for the applause — do it because it matters.

Today we are doing the Personal questions tag... I was tagged by my friend Cat! She is the blogger behind Cittie Tells.
13 Personal Questions:
1. What do you order at Starbucks?
Either a White Chocolate Mocha when it's cold outside, or a Iced Tea Lemonade with Passion Tea when it's hot. I don't really deviate. Except for when the holiday drinks are available... i really like to try the holiday drinks.
2. One thing in your closet you cannot live without?
I don't know if there is only one item that I couldn't live without. But for sure I would have a hard time without my scarves and boots. Those are the things I'm closest to not being able to live without.
3. What's one thing most people probably don't know about you?
Hmm, I'd say that most people probably don't know that I'm not originally from South Carolina. I was born and lived my first six years in Virginia. My mom and I didn't move to SC until I was six. However my entire family on both sides are from SC. My sister and I are the only two people in our family who weren't born here.
4. Name one thing you want to do before you die?
I want to see as much of the world as possible.
5. What's one food you cannot live without?
Macaroni and Cheese... it's my own personal addiction.
6. What quote/phrase do you live by?
"Be Yourself, every one else is taken" i don't know who said it, but it's always rang true with me and it's what I try to do every single day.
7. What do you like/dislike about the Blogging community?
I like getting to interact with new people I wouldn't otherwise get to interact with.
I don't like the fact that people can be extremely rude to one another.
8. What's your most listened to song on iTunes?
Get up by Korn featuring Skrillex... clearly my husband has been listening to my I Tunes more than I have.
9. What kind of style would you define yourself as having?
I'm not really sure i have a style... i would at best call my self eclectic with a slight leaning towards preppy. A few weeks ago a good friend told me I was Channeling Blair Waldorf and it made my week!
10. Favourite number?
13.... don't ask questions.
11. Two Hobbies?
Blogging and Painting
12. Two Pet Peeves?
When people talk and write in text language... actually text language in general gets on my nerves how the heck am I supposed to know what you're talking about if you don't use abbreviations.
People who mistreat children or animals. That just makes me madder than a hornet in a rain storm.
13. Guilty Pleasures?
My guilty pleasures are watching Christmas Movies with my Cat WAY before Thanksgiving... like all year long. And wearing fuzzy socks. I just love the feeling of them on my feet.
I was tagged in this Personal Questions tag by Cat over at Cittie Tells, who is an amazing blogger and an amazing friend so you should totally go over and check her out! And then Do this tag for yourself! I tag you all! Got forth and do this!
Be sure to tag back and tag your friends to get them to do this too!

Dear Owen,
Today your oldest brother started first grade! First grade! He looks like a third grader!
I couldn't help but think you should be here, hugging him goodbye and waving bye to the bus and saying "bus, bus" like all little boys obsessed with modes of transportation.
Your sister was sure sad to see him go...
Your middle brother didn't seem too disturbed. Probably because he know he starts school in a few weeks.
Everyone has posted all week about missing their kids going off to school or being overjoyed that their kids were headed off to school. Honestly, I wish I could feel either for you. I wish I could feel something other than pure pain. Pure anguish. I am overjoyed that Connor is happy, healthy and excited to start a new year of school. Though, I hate that I have to pull his teacher aside and tell her about you and our family, so she doesn't question him or wonder when he introduces himself saying he has two brothers and a sister but one brother lives in heaven.
A dear friend who also belongs to this awful bereaved parents club sent this to me tonight. It captured all of the feelings I go through as we start another school tear.
Please, remember as you start this new year, I and many others like myself, rejoice and cry. Some only cry too because they lost their only child. Please remember Owen and any other child tht will never have a first day of any grade. Please say Owens name. It brings joy to my heart and a smile to my face. Owen lived! He existed! And he continues to exist in our lives.
Owen I love you and miss you. We all miss you.
Love you to heaven and back.
Your one and only Mom

So said Ovid.
I don't want to exaggerate my rank among the infertiliterati. I haven't been reading Metamorphoses. I have been reading Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex, which - besides helping me Keep My Mind Off Things and containing stunningly inaccurate stuff about the relationship of ovulation, body temperature, and conception - contains that little bit of eggy wisdom.
It's true. Everything comes from an egg. Or, a tad more poetically: From an egg, everything.
Everything. What I'm sure Ovid didn't detail is that before Everything, there is the Beginning of Everything, which comes during the two weeks after there is an egg and before Everything proper begins. The Beginning of Everything contains things that I'm sure Ovid did not write about. Like fascinating and ever-increasing breast swelling. Like the purchasing of unreasonably expensive pairs of jeans. And the checking and re-checking of the calendar to see how many days it's been. And the obsessive ingestion of orange Milanos. With big glasses of milk to balance out the carbs.
Anyway. I ovulated yesterday. And now the Beginning of Everything begins. And so far I am just as calm as can be. I know that the obsession is bound to ratchet up to earsplitting, unbearable, Milano-binge-inducing levels over the next fourteen days. For now, I am feeling so cool it's a little ridiculous. I'm feeling like, "Huh. If I'm pregnant, I am, and if I'm not, I can drink a lot of wine." I'm feeling like, "Yeah, I think I'll wait until I have eighteen high temperatures to even pee on a stick."
Yeah. I'm sure waiting eighteen days will be no problem at all.

Hey, I bought HPT on Ebay. I got 91 of them for $28!! I'm planning on using all of them :) Seriously, they're supposed to be good AND cheap. Good for those of us who are addicted (it's 8 days post ovulation...I think I can pee now...wait - it's 8 1/2 days ovulation - maybe something's changed...).ReplyDelete
