Canada Budget Eliminates Capital Gains Tax on Gifts of Appreciated Securities
(May 8, 2006) In a huge victory for the fundraising profession, the 2006 Canada federal budget includes a provision to eliminate the capital gains tax on gifts of appreciated securities to charities.
The proposal, which AFP has pushed for many years, would take effect immediately and is expected to dramatically increase giving by the hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
"There are major donors across the country who have been waiting for this type of incentive so they can make their gift," said Susan Mullin, CFRE, director of development at the York University Foundation and chair of AFP's Government Relations Committee. "The opportunities for charities to build their capacity and expand programs have now multiplied with this provision."
The budget document notes that "[s]ince the capital gains inclusion rate was initially reduced in 1997, donations of listed securities grew from $69 million to about $200 million in 2004. While many factors influence the donation of listed securities, it is estimated that the elimination of the capital gains tax on these donations may support about $300 million in annual donations."
The budget also applies the same provision (eliminating the capital gains tax) to the Ecogift program, through which Canadian landowners may donate ecologically sensitive land, or easements and covenants on such land, to conservation charities to ensure its preservation in perpetuity.
"AFP has been the key proponent of this policy change for many years, but it's very much been a team effort," said Paulette Maehara, CFRE, CAE, president and CEO of AFP. "I want to thank all of the organizations who have worked with AFP over the years on this issue, and every member of AFP who has contacted their members of Parliament in support of this change. In particular, our volunteer leadership – especially the chairs and members of our Canadian Government Relations Committee through the years – have made so many outstanding contributions to this effort."
More Work on Private Foundations
The government did not extend the provision to gifts of appreciated securities to private foundations, noting it had concerns about current legislative safeguards related to conflict of interest. However, it promised that it would hold discussions with foundations and other interested parties to try to develop legislation that would address those concerns. If appropriate rules were developed, the government indicated that it would bring them forth to Parliament and extend the capitals gains tax provision to private foundations.
AFP will continue to work with other charitable organizations in extending the capital gains tax exemption for private foundations.
In another budget provision related to charities, $50 million will be provided over two years to enhance and expand the Canada Council for the Arts' support of the arts in Canada.
The portion of the budget relating to charitable organizations is available below in the Attachments section. Comprehensive documents discussing the 2006 budget in detail are available on the Finance Canada website.

Immortals (R/110 Min.)
The gods have declared they will not become involved in the conflicts of man unless the Titans are released. Good thinking. For those of you who have managed not to see any previews for Immortals, the Titans fought against the gods, lost and were imprisoned; supposedly for eternity. You see where this is headed, don't you? If you don't see, you'll probably love this movie and all it's unpredictability. If you do see, you'll spend most of the film as I did; just waiting for it to happen.
I have yet to see a friendly review of this film. Sadly, I feel compelled to join them. This is yet another movie about which Spike would yell at me, "It's not real!!!" I know this and I knew this going in yet I can't help but point out some of the really idiotic decisions made by the characters; more to the point…the gods. First, you (the gods) already know the Titans are tough sons of guns or their threat wouldn't have been such to require eternal restraint. But knowing this you imprison them where? Somewhere on Mt. Olympus so that they can be guarded by the gods themselves? Nooooo! You imprison them inside Mt. Tartaros…on Earth. Well done, you.
Next, you know for a fact that something exists which can release the Titans. The Bow of Epirus. And where is the Bow of Epirus? It's trapped in a rock formation, in a shrine, on the outskirts of a small village. On Olympus? You would think that but no. It's on Earth too. It HAS to be on the other side of the planet, far far away from the Titans though. It just has to. Oh now why make it that hard for the bad guys? Let's put it so close that you probably don't even need to change horses to get between the two places. But, of course, the gods are going to make it darn near impossible to break through the rock formation in the shrine, on the outskirts of a small village, close to the Titans, on Earth, right? Ummm…okay. If you believe that please go back to the first paragraph. Read it again. Enjoy the show.
Third, let's prove to man that you're not going to step in and help them…ever. King Hyperion wasn't completely stupid. He knew what he could get away with. Pretty much anything he wanted. And he was correct. Who ended up stopping Hyperion? Not the gods.
Finally, you said you would not become involved in the conflicts of man unless the Titans were released. How about becoming involved just before. You know, wait until there is no shadow of a doubt what is about to happen and then stop it. Instead, you choose to wait until the Titans, who you obviously fear, are set free and then step in. And when you do finally saddle up you're going to bring hundreds of gods with you to turn the tide, correct? How about just four? Good idea. Then be surprised when the Titans overpower you. Being Greek gods and all you'd think you'd know the meaning of the word hubris and why it's not a good thing to have.
I wanted to completely like this movie. A friend on Facebook said that "IMMORTALS is epically awful." While I don't think it was that bad it wasn't far off. They wanted so badly for this movie to be like 300. They even went so far as to use the old make-them-come-through-a-small-space-so-we-don't-have-to-fight-them-all-at-once ploy which was a big hit in that film. Unfortunately that didn't work for very long in 300. And we all know how that ended. It does seem to have fared a little better in Immortals. What I really liked (insert sarcasm font here) was when the good guy (Theseus) was running down the tunnel, fighting bad guys as he went along, and we get to see little tableaus of other fighters in windows along the sides. I feel the need to point out yet another really bad decision. Why on earth would you build a tunnel so deep and with a gate that is impenetrable – unless someone is wielding the Bow of Epirus – and put rooms just inside the gate with stairs that lead to the rest of the keep? Maybe entrances from the keep side and not the OUTside would have been a wiser choice?
Enough of all that. Let's discuss the acting, I mean, filler that kept this from being just one big action scene. I guess we did need some back story. I actually liked these parts the best. Well, some of them. Henry Cavill did a good enough job as Theseus but I think he was chosen more for his body than his acting. Not that I'm complaining. He is not difficult to watch. They also included Stephen Dorff. He would so be on my freebie list if I had such a thing and condoned having one. I guess Henry can be added to that also. But I think I'd need more than five. If you don't know what I'm talking about you probably never watched Friends which is probably a good thing. One person in this film who would NOT make that list is Mickey Rourke. He was very believable to me as Mad King Hyperion. Mainly because I didn't like him in the first place. Mickey…not the king. Okay, the king too. I have no idea why I don't like him. He just gives me the creeps. Maybe that is his publicist's goal. If so…mission accomplished.
I liked pretty much all of the gods but, then again, that's what they wanted us to do. They were beautiful. Yes, even the men. None of them really got to talk much except for Zeus and Athena so I can't really comment on their acting. I can, however, comment on their head gear. Seriously? What were you thinking? How threatening can you be with gold twigs and seashells sitting atop your noggin? I do have to say a big, "Yea for you!" to Kellan Lutz. You have this AND Breaking Dawn out at the same time. Talk about exposure. And speaking of exposure, the skirts the male gods were wearing covered all the naughty parts….just. The costume designers had a lot and a little to do in this movie.
I loved some of the background scenes in Immortals. The four statues holding up Mt. Tartaros from the inside? So neat! I liked what we could see of Mt. Olympus. I guess they didn't have a big enough budget for all the marble that would be needed to show more. The walls running alongside Mt. Tartaros made me think of LOTR and now I want to watch those movies again. The little village was kind of neat too. The entire place was tucked in to the side of a mountain. I really liked the shrine except for the fact that it was a big maze. I guess they only wanted the faithful to be able to get in or out. I questioned why Theseus cut his leg before he went in but it didn't take me long to figure out that he was marking the way with his bloody footprints. Gross!…and cool! I would like to know how he found his way to the center in the first place.
This film was rated R for one reason and one reason only. The violence. The nudity was limited to a derriere (my mom doesn't like me to say "butt") shot and a side view of a woman's breast. Well, unless you count all the statues. If you do then there was a LOT of nudity. One of the reviews I read mentioned the diaphanous clothing of the Oracle. I didn't notice but, then again, I wasn't looking that hard either. The one sex scene in the entire film was limited to implied sex. There wasn't much cursing and I don't recall any drinking at all. We do get to watch Mickey Rourke eat which invoked a different kind of violence all on it's own. Why do they always make the bad guys eat like that? Were they never taught table manners? Ewwww! Now back to the violence. It wasn't just people beating each other up and killing each other. It was a literal blood bath. There was spewage, if you will. I was so glad I didn't watch the 3-D version. What made it worse was these scenes were in slow-motion. Yuck! One of the Titans is cleaved in two and we get to see his insides quivering. This is definitely not a movie for young children, my mom or anyone with a weak stomach.
Would I recommend this movie to anyone? I really don't know the answer to that question. I would almost say that if you liked 300 you'll like Immortals but this was just lacking…something. I was mad about several things that happened so I don't want to encourage anyone else to have to experience the same. While I disagree that this movie was epically awful it definitely wasn't epically great either. It was epically meh! which, I'm sure, is not what the producers were going for.
P.S. The only reason to stay through the credits is because of the names. I challenge you to accurately pronounce them all. It was Greek to me.
P.P.S. The ending seemed to be setting up the chance for a sequel. I really hope not.
P.P.P.S. Orlando Bloom and Luke Evans (Zeus) need to be related to each other in some way, shape or form in a movie. I'm just sayin'.

In addition to my time at MMK Mind I have had experience in a variety of areas within the mental health sector. This has included (But is not limited to) assisting social workers whom are working with hoarders, helping facilitate art courses at a day centre and volunteering at mental health organisations across the Medway area. I was then lucky enough to join MMK Mind team as a Wellbeing Worker, were I deliver a wide variety of wellbeing services.

During my time here at MMK Mind, I have been responsible for co-delivering a range of front line mental health services to individuals experiencing mental health problems. My skills and knowledge in the mental health sector have developed immensely since the start of my placement. Having studied mental health in University, I had a background knowledge of mental health illnesses, but I didn't have any real-world experience of working with people experiencing such difficulties first hand. Having had the opportunity over the last 8 months to do so, I feel I have broadened my understanding and existing knowledge of the mental health sector and widened my awareness of mental health services in the local community.

Rhode Island Department of Health: Trends in Prevention Indicators for Hospital Care in Rhode Island
The Rhode Island Department of Health contracted with the National Perinatal Information Center (NPIC) to provide a trend report that would compare the hospital care provided in the state to national norms and provide background for later reports that would compare Rhode Island hospitals among themselves.
Using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety, Inpatient Quality and Prevention Indicator software and the state discharge abstract data set, NPIC compared the care provided to inpatients in hospitals in Rhode Island to national data during the six-year period (1999-2004).
Using hospital discharge data is attractive because -
- there were few or no additional data collection costs to the hospitals and the Department,
- the data covers the full range of hospital care, rather than the selected patient populations covered by the clinical measures from medical records, and
- it allowed for comparisons to national data and to state-level data in other states where similar data are collected.
All the indicators profiled in the report were developed by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) of the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Included were 27 inpatient quality indicators (IQI), 29 patient safety indicators (PSI) and 14 prevention quality indicators (PQI).
The PSIs and IQIs measure the quality of inpatient hospital care. The profiled indictors were selected because they affect large numbers of patients in hospitals and because they focus attention on complications of care that may be improved by hospital action.
The PQIs are designed to "flag potential problems resulting from a breakdown of health care services by tracking hospitalizations for conditions that should be treatable on an outpatient basis, or that could be less severe if treated early and appropriately. The PQIs represent the current state of the art in measuring the outcomes of preventive and outpatient care through analysis of inpatient discharge data" (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Prevention Quality Indicator Guide, Version 3.0a, February 20, 2006).Although more work is needed before these data can be used to compare individual hospitals, the report showed how the overall quality of hospital care in Rhode Island compared to the quality of care nationally. As quality indicators based on hospital discharge data improve, and as the underlying data are validated, this data source will provide additional measures of health care quality in the state's hospitals.

This…. List?
Here's a list of all the things I wish I had:
1. A Laptop that wouldn't freeze/have a wireless card that fails, forcing me to take it to get fixed.
2. An upright bass that would disappear when I don't need it, and reappear in perfect condition, fully tuned, and with not problems and all of its accessories when I do need it.
3. The power to create and manipulate plasma.
4. Enough time to do all of the activities I want, do my homework, socialize, sleep, and not feel completely overwhelmed.
5. A constant supply of tea that is the exact right temperature for drinking.
6. Mexican Coca-Cola that is good for you, yet tastes exactly the same.
7. The ability to learn and adapt any accent simply by listening to it.
8. The ability to dance.
9. The ability to act.

Calvinists, God does NOT save those who hate Him and do not believe in Him.
You are in a snare.
"... I have my own private opinion that there is no such a thing as
preaching Christ and him crucified, unless you preach what now-a-days is
called Calvinism. I have my own ideas, and those I always state boldly. It is
a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else."

"Tazaki was the only last name that did not have a color in its meaning. From the very beginning this fact made him feel a little bit left out." (pg.8)
Protection. Companionship. Understanding.
The beauty and harmony that comes from a close knit group is a singular experience.
In high school Tsukuru Tazaki has a close connection with four other students and for many years enjoyed having a place among them, but that wasn't to last. For many of us these friends from high school drift apart as they become new people. For Tazaki the separation was immediate and severe. With no warning the four friends disowned Tazaki and he was ripped from their company with no explanation.
It takes sixteen years before Tazaki seeks answers for why he was exiled.
Murakami produces a story that is very human. Full of mystery, strange fantasy and a raw journey back to humanity.
However, like many other critics, my experience with Colorless Tazaki wasn't all positive. I found the main character often times flat, repetitive, and infuriating. This is probably due to Tazaki's stagnant emotional development, which can be a thought provoking character tool, but it can also go too far. A dull protagonist can kill otherwise great novels. But despite this flaw I found myself still fully engaged and wanting more. I don't know if it is a point for or against Murakami that he makes me want to continue even though sometimes I just want the protagonist to shut up and stop being so damn passive.
In the end, there were a few other outstanding flaws in the novel. Unlike some other reviewers, I won't knock Murakami too hard for some of the stiff dialogue because he was at the mercy of the translator. My major concern is how Murakami writes female characters. I wish I could delve further into this subject but I would have to spoil the central mystery in the plot (which itself verges on offense and is one hundred percent upsetting). Tazaki's love interest, Sara (the plot device to start the story), is underdeveloped and I still have no idea what they see in each other. The other female in the foursome, Kuro, is the only complete character whose point of view I understand.
In my book club the group seemed to focus more on the negatives of the book during our discussions, but in the end only one (out of about 15 people) actually disliked the book as a whole. On the way home I kept going back to this and might have a couple of answers to why most readers are able to forgive its flaws:
First, when Muramaki is good, he's really good. Some of the passages are gorgeous and the language gives the whole experience a dream-like quality, which also emphasizes all the mystery elements because we as the audience question Tazaki's narrative: What is dream and what is reality?
An example of the type of imagery in the novel:
"He never dreamed. But even if he had dreamed, even if dreamlike images arose from the edges of his mind, they would have found nowhere to perch on the slippery slopes of his consciousness, instead quickly sliding off, down into the void" (pg.5)
Second, Muramaki strikes an emotional chord with his audience: Many of us regret not keeping in touch with close friends. Throughout middle and high school, I was friends with three other girls. Our little group went through so much that I genuinely thought we would be friends forever. We seemed to get along great, and when we didn't we always made up after a fight; we were in harmony. However, these groups of friends rarely separate due to major fights, but with choices, and harmony alone is not enough to keep them together. And when that happens, like Colorless Tazaki we ask ourselves, "Was I responsible? Was I the weak link in the group? Did I destroy our harmony?" But maybe there's another answer: Maybe there was never any real harmony, it was just an illusion that the group needed to survive the harsh landscape of high school.
For this reason, I would recommend Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki: Because Muramaki gets it. He understands the arrested development that comes from this sudden abandonment.
In the Margins:
- Murakami is a lit-rockstar in Japan. His book releases are Harry Potter-level crazy. This is his 13th novel. I don't know how I haven't heard of him before but I feel my lit nerd card needs to be revoked.
- Though in the end the main mystery is solved I was left with way more questions then answers. SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.
- There is some strong sexual content especially one scene in particular… which was a dream… and really odd. I wasn't bothered but those more sensitive to sexual content might want skip this read.
- If you are unsure about Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki maybe give Norwegian Woods or Kafka on the Shore a chance. These are Muramaki's more popular books and even have little cult followings. I plan to check them out.

The True Fashion Faux Pas
Like nearly everyone, one of my New Year's resolutions was to get fit, to find my inner Adonis you might say. I made this resolution on 31st December but it took until mid February for me to actually take the plunge and sign up to a local gym. I hate gyms, the harsh lighting and abundance of toned flesh (and the realisation that what you thought was toned flesh is actually just less wobbly fat) does not make for a positive experience, but I suppose that's the point – you are meant to feel inferior, you are meant to want to 'improve' yourself because a more toned, slimmer you is meant to be a happier, more content you. We are constantly bombarded by images of beautiful people, those who the media and fashion designers deem to be attractive, people we are meant to want to emulate.
Is it any wonder that some men and women feel insecure when they are constantly looking at pictures of perceived perfection, when fashion magazines use air brushed images that are so perfect they go beyond the biologically possible – I mean, the women on the front of the likes of Vogue don't even look real, nobody has skin which is that luminous, no amount of yoga is going to give you that complexion nor is slathering on an entire pot of Olay. I understand why fashion houses and shops use attractive people but do they need to be so attractive that they appear alien? It's basically the economics of self hatred: make your potential customer base feel so bad and inferior that they buy your product in the vague hope that it will make them more attractive, and ergo closer to the ideal. It's a vicious cycle and one which many of us are aware of and thankfully can take with a pinch of salt. Owning a Burberry trench coat isn't going to turn me into Brad Pitt, anymore than anti-ageing cream is going to stop the inevitable wrinkles around my eyes.
But adults are not the ones most vulnerable to this type of advertising, or not all adults at least. How are young teenagers going through that awkward phase of life we call puberty meant to deal with these messages when they realise that they don't have Beyoncé's figure or David Beckham's abs, when they realise that for most of us genetics has given us just an average body which is functional rather than beautiful (and that's if we are lucky). It's time that we looked at our society and the messages we want to give to our young, do we want young women and men to believe that the only way to be successful is to be beautiful, that their sense of self worth should be linked to how sexually attractive they are judged to be? I hope not, but then again I suppose self hatred and insecurity are lucrative.
I don't have the answers to these questions, it's a difficult topic and one which is full of contradictions and complexities. I mean in part this post is an expression of the inner argument I have every day as to why I shouldn't go to the gym, but it's more than that. It's about confidence, self esteem and people being able to feel good about themselves regardless of the fact that they don't resemble something from the pages of an Agent Provocateur catalogue. I am not a woman, but I do have many close female friends and it angers me that they sometimes feel 'not good enough' because they don't look a certain way, because they have a slight tummy or have gone up a dress size. When fashion magazines feel the need to digitally alter some of the most beautiful people in the world, when not even humanity's supposed 'best specimens' are deemed attractive enough to grace our front covers without alterations, something has gone seriously wrong.
February is Eating Disorders Awareness Month. Head over to the National Eating Disorders Association to read more on positive self esteem and how to get support.

Thailand – The Land of Smiles – The Islands
I have been to Thailand several times, each time offering a new perspective, experience, and appreciation of the complex culture; the ancient temples and traditions; the magic, the calm, and the chaos.
During my time there I was fortunate in experiencing the Red Shirt Riots of 2010 first hand, experiencing Songkran, and swimming in its many waters and strolling its many beaches. With my camera I was able to capture some of those moments.

Enrollment and School Selection
The federal McKinney-Vento Act and New York Education Law Section 3209 provide important school selection and enrollment protections to preschool-12 students in temporary housing. Parents or unaccompanied youth in temporary housing may have up to three choices to enroll in school. They can choose:
- The school attended when they were last permanently housed, or
- The school last attended, even if the student was temporarily housed during that time, or
- The local school where the student is currently temporarily housed.
As soon as a parent or unaccompanied youth makes a school selection decision, the students have the right to immediate enrollment, even if they are missing documents usually required to enroll. Students also have the right to maintain enrollment for the rest of the academic year in which they find permanent housing, even if the new housing is outside of the school district where they attend school. In New York State, students may continue in the same school for an additional year if that year is the student's terminal year in the school (for example, 12th grade). Click on the links below to get more information on enrollment and school selection under the McKinney-Vento Act.

Housing Questionnaire [Word doc]
This new Housing Questionnaire should be used by all school districts as the first page of the enrollment packet for all newly enrolling students. The Housing Questionnaire should also be given to all students/families any time they report a change of address. The Housing Questionnaire was updated on November 11, 2016, and it replaces the former Enrollment Form/Residency Questionnaire. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) requires all LEAs that receive Title I funds (including school districts, charter schools, and BOCES) to use the Housing Questionnaire. NYSED also encourages all other LEAs, to use the Housing Questionnaire, because it asks about students' living arrangements in order to identify students experiencing homelessness in the school district.
Sample Enrollment Process for Students in Temporary Housing [Word doc]
Every Local Educational Agency must ensure that students who are experiencing homelessness are immediately enrolled in school. This is a Sample Enrollment Process that school districts may follow for immediately enrolling students experiencing homelessness.
Laws and Guidance
A Guide to Understanding the New Rules for School Registration
In July 2015, the NYSED Commissioner's Regulations governing enrollment of students in public school were amended to ensure that all students, and in particular unaccompanied youth, have timely access to school. The Regulations require that school districts accept a broader range of documents to establish residency and establish timelines for making residency determinations. The NYSED has produced brochures in multiple languages that districts can provide to parents so that they better understand the enrollment process. The brochure is currently available in: English, Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, Haitian-Creole, Karen, Nepali, Russian, and Urdu.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
One person is dead after being hit by a taxi cab early Saturday morning.
Mobile users: Tap here for video
It happened just before 1:30 a.m. on Dixie Highway just north of Katherine Station Road.
Louisville Metro Police said a man was walking down the side of the road when the cab struck him.
That man, later identified as 26-year-old Jospeh Allen of West Point, Ky., was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Of course we haven't ruled out any factors at this point. Our investigators are investigating. Hopefully we'll have more information once the investigation is complete," said LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell.

It's for the Birds
Grouse Offer an Easy Start to Hunting
It's for the Birds
With conservation efforts in full-force, the sharptail population is now stable.
By Matt Breuer
"It's For the Birds," typically refers to a less than favorable thing or situation. But not time! The highlight of a recent northern Minnesota fishing trip wasn't about the big numbers of fish caught, instead it was all about witnessing the successful conservation efforts in Lake of the Woods County by watching the greatest show on earth.
Raised in Northern Minnesota, it was common to see a covey of sharp-tailed grouse walk through the yard on a late-fall morning while waiting for the school bus. After the horrific decline in numbers the sharp-tailed grouse have endured, it's amazing that I still have the chance to enjoy sharptails today. With conservation efforts in full-force, the sharptail population is now stable. I get back as often as possible to experience the beauty of a sharpie in flight.
Every year I host LakeStateFishing.com's Lake Sturgeon Frenzy at Sportsman's Lodge on the Rainy River. It's a wonderful event gathering anglers from around the country, all there to chase down giant lake sturgeon. It's always a fun trip, but this past spring was not one to be forgotten any time soon.
On a cool, crisp April morning I headed north. Driving, I noticed brush-cutting projects taking place. As a board member of the Minnesota Sharp-tailed Grouse Society I was curious what was going on.
We like to see those kinds of projects, and have sponsored several in the Baudette area. When I arrived at the DNR offices I was kindly greeted by Ted Dick.
They were preparing the brush-land for a burning project to take place later that spring. Shearing brush is necessary for a quality fire, and a quality fire cuts down woody vegetation and encourages growth of the native grasses so desperately needed by the sharp-tailed grouse, sand-hill crane, and many other species of wildlife. I applauded Ted on their efforts, and asked about the current state of the sharp-tailed grouse in his area. He smirked and replied, "Why don't you go see for yourself!"
The Minnesota Sharp-tailed Grouse Society and the DNR together have set up areas across MN where people can go to view the mating ritual of the sharp-tailed grouse. Ted informed me that the Baudette area blind was open the next morning! After checking in to Sportsman's Lodge, and hooking into a few sturgeon that evening, we hit the rack with high hopes for a good morning in the sharpie blind.
Waking early, a friend and I snuck quietly into the blind, and immediately heard sharptail. We had numerous birds surround us right at day-break. The females stood around observing and trying to pick a mate while the males puffed up their feathers, purred and clicked loudly, blew out the bright purple air-sacs in their neck, and ran around stomping the frosty ground determinedly. Fights between two males often broke loose. It was a beautiful crisp morning, and we had a great seat for one of nature's greatest shows.
Chasing the many species of game fish in Lake of the Woods County and watching the magical dance of prairie game birds truly is a fantastic adventure.
Contact Sportsman's Lodge (800-862-8602) for accommodations and fishing info, and check in at the Baudette Area DNR (218-634-1705) for sharptail dancing blind reservations. You can also go to www.sharptails.org to become a member, find out about upcoming events, and to find out about observation blinds in your area!

Grouse Offer an Easy Start to Hunting
DNR Photo: Jay Johnson with his English setter, Meg.
By Jay Johnson, DNR Hunter Recruitment & Retention Program coordinator
If you live in Minnesota and want to hunt upland birds, count your blessings. Minnesota grouse hunting opportunities are among the best in the nation.
It's often said that Minnesota is to grouse what South Dakota is to pheasants. I'd argue that the grouse hunting opportunities in Minnesota are even better. For instance, most of the best pheasant habitat and hunting opportunities in South Dakota are controlled by private landowners. In contrast, Minnesota county, state and national forests provide 11.5 million acres of grouse habitat – and each acre is open to public hunting. So, if South Dakota is the Pheasant Capitol of the World, Minnesota certainly is the Ruffed Grouse Capitol of the World. Don't believe me? Well consider this. Each year the Ruffed Grouse Society, a non-profit conservation organization focused on grouse, American woodcock and other related early successional forest wildlife, hosts its National Grouse and Woodcock Hunt in the Grand Rapids area. So, if you aren't hunting ruffed grouse, you are really missing out on the best upland bird hunting in the state.
Have I piqued your interest? I hope so. Here is some basic information that will help you find a place to hunt and hopefully, find a few birds.
First off, you need to know that the season opens Saturday, Sept. 19 and runs through Sunday, Jan.3, 2010. The daily limit (how many you can have in the field) is five and the possession limit (how many you can have in the field and in your freezer) is 10. Cock (male) and hen (female) birds are legal game.
You do need a small game license, which you can buy separately or in combination with your fishing license.
Shotguns in 12-and 20-gauge that are light, easy to carry and have open chokes, such as an improved cylinder, are perfect for grouse. Standard target or field loads of No. 7-1/2 to No. 9 shot are all you need to effectively bring down a grouse.
A blaze-orange hat, a blaze-orange vest and a comfortable pair of boots round out the necessary equipment you need to get started. Cover may be thick and it's crucial that others clearly see you through brush and trees.
Next, you need to know where to hunt. Top counties in the state include Aitkin, Cass, Itasca, St. Louis, Beltrami and Koochiching. But there are quality hunting opportunities across much of the northern half of the state. While not as abundant, grouse also are available in the hill country of southeastern Minnesota.
Once you decide on the general area you plan to hunt, do some Internet research, talk to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) area wildlife office, and the county courthouse and get yourself a plat book for that county that shows land ownership.
Next, you need to know where and what type of cover to hunt. Ruffed grouse are birds that prefer younger forests and really like the subtle seams and edges of those forests. Many folks look at a piece of woods and say, "It all looks the same." The key to being a successful grouse hunter is being able to see the subtle edges, seams and transitions within any given woodlot.
As a general rule of thumb, try to find places where tree sizes at the base are between the diameter of your wrist and your calf. Trees of this size will be between 15-30 feet high. The type of tree, although important, is less important than the size and how close they are together. Try to hunt in areas where aspen are present and avoid areas that are solid conifers. While you may find grouse in such cover, your chances of getting a shot at them is slim.
When you have found a promising piece of grouse cover, where and how do you hunt? Well, if there is a trail that runs through the cover, that's a great place to start. Remember, grouse are birds of edges and a trail provides two of those edges.
Growing up grouse hunting with my dad and others, we did the vast majority of our hunting walking old logging trails or "tote" roads as my dad called them. Many a grouse met their end as the result of their attraction to the clover, forbs and gravel that make these prime hunting spots so attractive.
If you are hunting without a dog, find a couple friends and put on the patented "partridge push". This tactic positions one hunter 20 yards into the cover on the left of the trail and one hunter the same distance to the right of the trail. The third hunter should stand on the trail and serve as the push coordinator.
The hunting team proceeds slowly down the trail stopping briefly every 50 or so steps. The push coordinator's job is to make sure that the team members stay abreast of each other and no one gets ahead of the others. Constant communication among team members is the key to maintaining a safe and productive hunting experience.
On the other hand, an enhanced version of the push uses the assistance of a canine hunting companion. The dog quarters back and forth across the trail in front of the three hunters, flushing any birds that might otherwise try to sit tight and let hunters without a dog walk past.
If the piece of woods you selected to hunt has no trails, then you need to try to find any other type of edge or seam. These could include swamp edges, field edges and edges where two different tree types or sizes come together. You can hunt them much the same way as you would a trail but the walking will be more difficult. Hunting with a team in a trail-less area makes it more difficult to work together and stay in safe position. Be extra conscious of safety.
Hunting linear cover such as trails, seams and edges is a great way to begin your journey grouse hunting.
Have a great hunt and always remember to be sure of your target and what is beyond before taking the shot.

A newly opened French restaurant by Chef Paul Longworth, Restaurant Manager Jerome Desfonds and Au Petit Salut (The Salut Group) serving fine cuisine with personalized service.
After spending 3 years with Au Petit Salut , Paul, Jerome & Alice Low-Ang (Owner of The Salut Group) felt it time to step away from the group and set up their dream restaurant.
Situated on the charming Duxton Hill, Rhubarb Le Restaurant offers comfort & elegance whilst retaining all the best characteristics of this conservation shophouse.
In the intimate dining room with just 7 tables, guests are taken care of with special attention while watching the chefs in the open plan kitchen. With his young team, Chef Paul shares his contempory approach to French Gastronomy.
About Paul Longworth, Chef de Cuisine
Paul arrived in 2009 to set up a Swiss wine bar/restaurant in Millenia walk called Oenotheque by Wine Universe. As his first Head Chef position, it was the perfect opportunity to cut his teeth & start developing his own style. The restaurant prospered and had generated a strong crowd from the surrounding offices. During his time, Oenotheque was included in Tatler's Best in Singapore list 2011.
After nearly 2 ½ years, Paul made the big move to Au Petit Salut, an institution of French cuisine. With such a huge history and massive following, Paul knew it was a big task to make an impression.
As Executive Chef of the re-branded Salut Group, Paul oversaw the opening of Chez Petit Salut (MBFC) and renovation of Chez Petit Salut (Holland Village)
During his time at Au Petit Salut, Paul developed very close relationships with both Alice Low-Ang (owner) & Jerome Desfonds (restaurant manager). Late in 2013, the three of them sat down and discussed the possibility of setting up a new, small & personal concept. A restaurant that could cater to individual customer's needs, working with a small, fine & seasonal menu and a well thought out wine list…..Rhubarb was born.

Public Deliberation on Climate Change
Lessons from Alberta Climate Dialogue
Edited by Lorelei L. Hanson
Athabasca University Press
When the community-university research project Alberta Climate Dialogue was first convened in 2010, it drew together scholars, practitioners, citizens, civil society members, and government officials. Over the next five years, the project engaged in public deliberation of the issue on climate change in the Alberta context. The result was a wealth of opportunity to investigate deliberative civic engagement and its application to wicked problems. In its description of the project and the insights gained, this volume is essential reading for those wishing to move a difficult conversation forward.

I am a father of two great kids, Tammy (my daughter and youngest) and Calum (my son). They often drive me up the wall but I could never wish for better children.
I was born and bred in Scotland, I was raise by my aunt who sadly has now passed away. My childhood was in the most part a learning experience in school and out.
My adult life has seen great periods of unemployment interspersed with soul destroying jobs working in factories. The one job I enjoyed was working at a local theme park.
I am married, as mention above, with two kids Calum and Tammy. My son sadly takes his imagination from me. His sister though is more like her mother both in looks and temperament, so don't get in her bad books.
I have always enjoyed writing but have other hobbies such as jewellery making, DIY, playing computer games (who doesn't these days), of course reading. Unfortunately money is often in short supply, as it is with most of us these days, so I have little in the way to spend on them but at least with the DIY I can save some until the kids spend it for me which never takes long does it.
Review by:
Sharon E. Cathcart
on July 16, 2010 :
Two things kept me from giving this novella a full five stars. First, there were numerous run-on sentences with commas placed so poorly that they almost made no sense. The second problem was my grounding in Celtic mythology; the banshee (or bean sidhe) is not a vengeful mortal soul, but a fairy harbinger of death.
All of that said, Billy Young's novel has a good premise -- the vengeant spirit of a woman falsely accused of witchcraft visits her judgment on all who offend her from the time of her initial demise in the late 17th century until three hundred years in the future.
The most interesting, and best developed, parts of the novel focus on Helen's accusation and trial for witchcraft. Young has a good understanding of why most women were accused of witchcraft: their property became forfeit to the local government. He describes the various "tests" that women were put through: tortures that would make people confess to anything in order for the abuse to stop.
The parts of the tale that take place in modern times, focused on two amusement park employees who pass by the "witch's house" every day on their way home almost feel tacked on by comparison.
Complaints aside, this was an entertaining short read. Horror/thriller buffs are likely to enjoy it very much.

Applied Economics, 2016, vol. 48, issue 18, 1678-1694
With the objective of identifying instability signatures of the financial system, this article integrates two classes of data-driven techniques. The first class of techniques is utilized to investigate macroeconomic behaviour by aggregating an ensemble of heterogeneous nonstationary time-series data and the second class of techniques examines the local dynamics of the microstructures in each time series. Moving window principal component analysis (PCA) and functional PCA (fPCA) are shown to extract collective signatures of the financial system for understanding macroeconomic behaviour, and the Synchrosqueezing and Markov switching techniques are used to study local dynamics within each individual time series. The integrated data analytics successfully identifies the diverse events from 1986 to 2012. All events, both major and minor, have been identified by fPCA. The major economic events, especially the 2008 Great Recession, along with several minor events, showed a strong leading indicator in the density index derived from Synchrosqueezing. The capability of this integrated analytics suite is demonstrated in this article, and it motivates further studies encompassing data sets from broader sectors. As a complement to existing model-driven approach, this would lead to achieving a robust and reliable method that can help in taking measures to avoid catastrophic collapse in the constantly evolving financial system.
