HousingStatements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Peter Adams Liberal Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Peterborough Community Housing Development Corporation is a non-profit grassroots group set up four years ago to fix up old houses and turn them into rental units for low income tenants.
With the help of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the city of Peterborough, local businesses, charities and numerous volunteers, the corporation has refurbished properties creating 17 rental units and building up a considerable equity for future work. The first rental unit was produced by fixing up a house scheduled for demolition. The second was a house relocated onto a vacant city lot. An Anglican church rectory has been converted into a residence for low income older women. This local housing corporation is an example for others across Canada. It is part of a continuing effort to address homelessness in the city and county of Peterborough.
I wish to honour and thank everyone involved in this fine, caring work for the homeless of Peterborough and across Canada.

Lynne Yelich Canadian Alliance Blackstrap, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is no wonder that 70% of Canadians think that the government is corrupt. Looking back at the revelations concerning the government's shocking ethics scandal, even more words come to mind to describe this terrible mess.
Shameful might be the word to describe the fact that Alfonso Gagliano is now Canada's ambassador to Denmark, despite the fact that he was blatantly diverting taxpayer dollars to Liberal friendly corporations, friends and political allies. Dubious perhaps is the word to describe the Liberal government's rushing through of a $101 million purchase of Challenger luxury jets in the final days of the fiscal year, leaving the Canadian military with obsolete equipment and inappropriate uniforms.
I would say that the actions leading to the Cabinet shuffle that saw another former minister of public works and the former defence minister fired were deplorable. Unfortunately, these days Canadians are resigning themselves to the word typical, especially when they see Liberal leadership hopefuls using tax dollars for kickbacks to supporters and fundraisers.
Canadians deserve better.
MarijuanaStatements By Members
June 20th, 2002 / 2 p.m.
John Maloney Liberal Erie—Lincoln, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wish to compliment the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board in my region on passing a resolution in response to the serious threat of marijuana grow houses.
These communities, like many others in Canada, are experiencing an unprecedented increase in the illegal cultivation and distribution of marijuana by organized crime. This marijuana is sold to children and adults alike, the residual effects of which contribute to additional threats of crime and violence further impacting innocent members of the community. Potential fire and health dangers also exist to adjacent homes and for our firefighters due to unsafe use of electricity and chemicals.
I call upon the Minister of Justice and the government to enact strong legislative deterrents, including lengthy periods of incarceration and substantial fines to combat this plague. The safety and security of our communities, police officers and emergency responders is paramount.
Regional Economic DevelopmentStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Liberal Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik, QC
Mr. Speaker, on June 17, on behalf of the Secretary of State responsible for Canada Economic Development for the Regions of Quebec and Liberal member for Beauce, I announced the awarding of a contribution of over $4.5 million to COREM, a consortium of applied research for the treatment and transformation of mineral substances.
This project will create some 15 to 20 high-skilled jobs. Canada Economic Development's mandate is to promote the economic development of the regions of Quebec. To that end, it focuses on two main areas of activity: enterprise development and improving the environment for economic development of the regions of Quebec.
The project will have an impact on the profitability of the entire Quebec mining industry. As well, it will benefit resource regions, more specifically in Abitibi--Témiscamingue, the lower north shore, James Bay and Nunavik.
Millennium ScholarshipsStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Geoff Regan Liberal Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, as one of the ways the government has demonstrated its commitment to education in Canada, we introduced the millennium scholarship program three years ago. The program is intended to assist deserving students with access to post-secondary education.
In my riding of Halifax West two such deserving students have been awarded millennium scholarships this year. Nitya Das of Charles P. Allen High School and Caitlin Pierlot of Sir John A. Macdonald High School exemplify the sorts of students this important program is designed to assist.
I wish to congratulate Nitya and Caitlin for their accomplishments to date and wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavours. They are our future and it looks pretty bright. I say well done.
Liberal Party of CanadaStatements By Members

Canadian Alliance
John Duncan Canadian Alliance Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, I want to advise all hon. members that the species at risk legislation is not as comprehensive as we first thought. For example, there is no mention whatsoever of protection of one of the most endangered species of all and that is honest Liberals.
As their numbers dwindle by the day, who will step forward to provide protection for those poor and rare reminders of a cleaner environment? What about that other species at risk, the ambitious former finance minister and leadership candidate? Are there no protective barriers behind which this species can hide from the heavy boots of its natural enemies? Maybe I should say the singular enemy.
Goodness knows there is that other species which requires protection as well. Who will step forward to propose amendments to protect the lame duck Liberal leader?
Women's Royal Canadian Naval ServiceStatements By Members
2 p.m.
John O'Reilly Liberal Haliburton—Victoria—Brock, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the Minister of National Defence to acknowledge the 60th anniversary of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service, more commonly known as Wrens.
The Wrens were established on July 31, 1942, to release Canadian sailors from shore duty. From across Canada, women volunteered to serve their country by performing non-traditional jobs ranging from maintaining anti-submarine equipment and aircraft to cryptology communications and signalling. These women performed crucial roles in support of Canada's war efforts as full and equal partners. The Wrens were trailblazers for women in Canada and the Canadian forces. By 1955 women were fully integrated into the regular force component of the Royal Canadian Navy and they continue to serve in the defence of Canada to this day.
I would ask all members to join the Minister of National Defence and myself in offering our thanks and congratulations on this the 60th anniversary of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service.
Employment EquityStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Monique Guay Bloc Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, a report was tabled in this House, entitled "Promoting Equality in the Federal Jurisdiction: A Review of the Employment Equity Act".
In this report, the committee members express regrets that the Treasury Board and the Public Service Commission of Canada have ended the employment equity positive measures program and closed down the enabling resource centre, right in the midst of the review of the employment equity legislation.
Given that the representation of disabled employees has dropped in 19 of the 40 federal departments, the committee has recommended that the government reverse its decision and restore these programs.
While the Liberal government has been handing out goodies to its cronies to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, in connection with its propaganda campaign, we can only hope it will not be so cynical as to refuse to assist the disabled in integrating or reintegrating the work force. It is a matter of social justice, equity and respect.
Official LanguagesStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Andy Scott Liberal Fredericton, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the announcement regarding the new official languages legislation that was adopted by New Brunswick.
The new legislation is based on the original act that was introduced by former Premier Louis Robichaud, after New Brunswick became the only officially bilingual province in Canada, in 1969.
I am most pleased with this initiative from New Brunswick's legislature, which was supported by all of the parties, and I am confident that this new official languages act will help ensure that the linguistic rights and privileges accorded all New Brunswickers by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are respected.
Government ContractsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Philip Mayfield Canadian Alliance Cariboo—Chilcotin, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are gushing with gratitude for the looming summer recess. In summers past their eagerness to depart was due to their natural inclination to do as little as possible and still pretend to represent the interests of Canadians.
Today the situation is different. Their eagerness to depart is fueled by embarrassment and shame and by a desire to run for cover. While the Liberals are on vacation the official opposition will continue to do its work of exposing the government's list of scandals and corrupt practices, a long list that is still growing day by day. Not all members will be holidaying at the cottage or by the pool.
The public accounts committee will continue to meet throughout the summer. We have the serious work of holding hearings into the Groupaction scandal to find out if there was political interference in the awarding of these bogus contracts. We will be questioning public servants in charge of these files that "broke every rule in the book" according to the auditor general.
As the Liberals watch the lobsters boiling in the pot or barbecue steaks this summer, we hope they will ponder the heat that awaits them when they return to the House this fall. Canadians deserve better, much better.
National Heritage FairStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Bertrand Liberal Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, from May 8 to 12, Heritage Fairs were held in every province in Canada. In the Outaouais, more than 250 students took part by presenting projects on history, heritage and culture.
Two students in the Outaouais distinguished themselves: Lauriane Dubois and Mathieu Falardeau. In the Pontiac, Kylie Beck won an award.
These students will be accompanied by teacher Julie Coutier, who will chaperone them during their trip to the National Heritage Fair, which will take place from July 8 to 15, in Saint John's, Newfoundland.
Danielle Lessard will lead the Quebec delegation. Ms. Lessard, who is an administrative assistant in the Private Members' Business Office, was the winner of the Honorius Provost silver medal for volunteer of the year, 2002. This award was given by the Quebec historical societies. She received the honour on Saturday, June 15, at the annual conference in Sherbrooke.
Congratulations and bon voyage on your trip to Newfoundland.
Windsor, OntarioStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Masse NDP Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the city of Windsor is the busiest and most vital crossing point between Canada and the United States.
The three crossings in Windsor play a significant role in business, social and political interactions for our nations. Sadly the residents of the area have been taken for granted.
Although the Minister of Transport did indicate that the government needs to move faster on a binational study to address border congestion, I am concerned that the government will not follow through with any real action on his words.
Compounding my concern is the lack of public consultation and the behind closed door meetings that have occurred, and may continue to happen.
I understand the Deputy Prime Minister has established a handpicked task force to report back to him by the end of July. Without being provided any information on the membership, mandate, terms of reference and specifics on the task force, I can only hope the process is open, inclusive and involves the public and city of Windsor residents who will pay the ultimate price for any recommendations from the panel. He should also act on the city's request for $1.2 million for immediate operational improvements to show good faith.
Acadian PeopleStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Stéphane Bergeron Bloc Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, certain individuals seem incapable of expressing the slightest opinion without covering everyone around them in insults. But as we know, insults are the weapon of the weak.
This is true of the member for Beauséjour—Petitcodiac. After accusing me of opportunism in connection with the motion to have the crown apologize for deporting the Acadians, he called me a hypocrite and a cynic when I brought the subject up again in April.
And he is still at it, now referring to all the members of the National Assembly—PQ, Liberal and ADQ—as hypocrites because they have passed a unanimous motion to support the Société nationale de l'Acadie in its effort to get the crown to officially recognize the facts surrounding the deportation.
This man, the very one who questioned the professional integrity of the auditor general, to the point where he was publicly chastized by the current government House leader, can let down his people without even blinking in the hope of one day being able to ride around comfortably in a ministerial limousine. So be it. But he can stop his unseemly attacks on all those who are showing their support for Acadians.
Old Age SecurityStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Albina Guarnieri Liberal Mississauga East, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the fifth actuarial report on old age security was tabled in the House. We learned that our old age security payments will increase from $25 billion to $93 billion annually in just 25 years.
These payments to nearly eight million retired Canadians will be made from general tax revenue. The cost of OAS will grow almost 40% faster than total employment earnings.
Having conquered the challenge of the deficit, it is time that we begin setting aside part of our current surplus to pay for future retirement costs and prevent destructive tax increases or cuts in our seniors' benefits.
Canadians who have paid a lifetime of taxes deserve and expect that their old age security will be secured by government foresight.
FisheriesStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Loyola Hearn Progressive Conservative St. John's West, NL
Mr. Speaker, the next NAFO meetings will be held in September in Spain. The Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans tabled a unanimous report recommending that Canada withdraw from NAFO and take custodial management over the nose and tail of the Grand Banks and the Flemish Cap.
The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans rejected the report without even reading it.
What kind of message will this send to the countries who pillage our resources? Come on folks, it is open season on the Grand Banks.
The minister also said that Russia would take action against the Olga which was caught overfishing in the NAFO zone. It said that the boat would not be allowed to fish in the zone for a year. Well the Olga is out fishing there today.
Maybe the minister should get a new job, buy a dory and head for the Grand Banks.
Philippine Independence DayStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Sophia Leung Liberal Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, this past Saturday the Filipino Canadian community of Greater Vancouver celebrated Philippine Independence Day. This year marks the 104th anniversary of Philippine independence.
The Philippines was the first independent republic to be declared in Asia. Over 5,000 people attended the two day celebration held at the Plaza of Nations in Vancouver.
I congratulate the president and board of directors of the Philippine Day Confederation and all its volunteers for their hard work in organizing the celebrations. I salute them for their cultural contributions to our community.
I invite all members to join me in wishing them happy Philippine Independence Day.
Oral Question PeriodStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Ken Epp Canadian Alliance Elk Island, AB
Mr. Speaker, as question period co-ordinator for the official opposition it is my job to help our team put together thoughtful, probing questions each day to hold the government accountable on behalf of the voters and taxpayers.
However, I am very frustrated. We ask pointed questions which demand an honest answer and all we get back is deflect, deny, dodge and distract. We ask a question of the Prime Minister or a minister for which they alone know the answer and someone else stands up in their place to deflect and deny. We just cannot squeeze answers out of this government whose only goal seems to be to cover up its misdeeds.
This has gone so far that only an independent public inquiry will put the question to rest. The fact that they refuse this inquiry is in my opinion further tacit admission of guilt. If they have nothing to hide, they would welcome the exoneration of the inquiry. I believe it is because they have much to hide that they do not want the truth to come out.
World Refugee DayStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Jocelyne Girard-Bujold Bloc Jonquière, QC
Mr. Speaker, in 2000, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution making June 20 of every year World Refugee Day.
With the new immigration act coming into force next week, the government has decided not to create a refugee appeal division. The representative in Canada of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees has long been critical of the absence of such an appeal mechanism.
The negotiations under way for a safe third country agreement with the United States, which might allow Canada to avoid its obligations to many refugees, is of very great concern. These facts require us to be vigilant and to question the present actions of the government.
The Bloc Quebecois wishes to point out that refugees make a significant contribution to our societies and that the need for security does not excuse the adoption of measures which call into question the fundamental principles of protecting refugees.
Ethics CommissionerOral Questions

Calgary Southwest Alberta
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Canadian AllianceLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, this session is rapidly coming to a close. It is a session that has been marked by one consistent theme. The Prime Minister and cabinet refuse to be straightforward about their actions or the lack of them. When we demand details we get dodges. When we ask for action we get anything but. I want to try one more time.
The Prime Minister has refused for nine years to keep his promise regarding an independent ethics commissioner. Will he commit today to legislation to create an independent commissioner with the power to deal with the kinds of abuses we have seen perpetrated by the government?
Ethics CommissionerOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Glengarry—Prescott—Russell Ontario
Don Boudria LiberalMinister of State and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, what we have now is a bit of a strange twist. Earlier today there was a motion in my name to establish the committee to create eventually that exact same kind of thing. Who proposed a dilatory motion in order not to have it? The Leader of the Opposition.
Ethics CommissionerOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Canadian AllianceLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we did not ask for a committee, we asked for action.
Two professors from the University of Ottawa have studied this government and found a paranoid style of neurosis, a culture of secrecy and a climate of distrust. The suspicions that the Prime Minister has had a hand in the firing of senior journalists only contributes to this. The government compounds the problem by covering up and withholding information.
Since the government would not do the first thing, would the minister of public works order the immediate release of the list of all the companies, departments and dollar amounts in the several hundred files under review that the minister referred to earlier this week?
Ethics CommissionerOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Wascana Saskatchewan
Ralph Goodale LiberalMinister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, a great deal of that information may already be in the public domain. I will examine the inquiry that the Leader of the Opposition has made. Of course the important thing is to make sure that nothing we do here impedes any other investigation that may be ongoing.
However I assure the hon. gentleman that transparency is very much an objective of mine, just as I know it is one of his.
Ethics CommissionerOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Canadian AllianceLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the minister has perfected giving assurances without answering the question.
The Prime Minister; the Deputy Prime Minister; the ministers of public works, one, two and three; the immigration minister; the justice minister; and the House leader have all been asked questions about the government's lack of ethical standards relating to ad contracts. The answers have been vague, imprecise, evasive and unclear. Canadians deserve better. They deserve an independent ethics commissioner with the power to prevent abuse in the future and they deserve answers as to why there has been such abuse in the past.
Will the government call a full independent public judicial inquiry into ad and sponsorship corruption now, yes or no?
Ethics CommissionerOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ottawa South Ontario
John Manley LiberalDeputy Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition knows perfectly well that the first ever ethics counsellor appointed by a Canadian government was appointed by this government.
Not only did we announce the toughest lobbyist legislation in the world but the Prime Minister has committed to an ethics counsellor, appointed by parliament, unable to be fired by anybody, for a term of five years who would report to parliament.
What we do not have is one bit of information about who paid for the leadership campaign of the Leader of the Opposition.

Selena Gomez was spotted having fun under the Miami sun on Saturday.
According to the HuffPo, the "Come and Get It" singer was seen hanging out poolside with some friends after spending a busy couple of weeks promoting her upcoming album.
In fact, Gomez's vacation came a day after the-20-year-old singer was seen in Boston where she told Kiss108 she was "completely available in every way" and ready to date again.
Last month Gomez was seen cuddling with former boyfriend Justin Bieber in an Instragram photo a few days after she reportedly flew to Oslo, Norway to see him. Apparently they're keeping it casual.

Here are five of the best Canadian road trips that will help you see the best that this country has to offer.Peter Brosseau / Postmedia News5. Icefields Parkway Also known as Highway 93, this 230-km route cuts through Banff National Park and Jasper National park between Lake Louise and Jasper. To say that the Rocky Mountain scenery is jaw-dropping doesn't begin to describe the beauty of this road. It can get crowded in summer and traffic can slow to a halt, especially when someone spots an animal like a bear or moose and everyone stops to look.Jane Wingle / for Postmedia News3. Cabot Trail A 298 km loop around the northern tip of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island comprises the Cabot Trail. It passes along the gorgeous Cape Breton Highlands. It's best to drive the loop in a counter-clockwise direction so that you can better appreciate the ocean views.Handout photo / Nova Scotia Tourism2. Sea to Sky Highway The Sea to Sky Highway got a lot of attention during the 2010 Winter Olympics as it was the primary route from the city of Vancouver to Whistler, where many of the mountain events took place. It's a gorgeous trip any time of year and is often cited in lists of the world's greatest road trips.Handout photo / Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project1. Trans-Canada Highway The ultimate Canadian road trip is the 8,030 km journey from coast to coast. Starting in Victoria, B.C and ending in St. John's, Newfoundland, the Trans-Canada, or Tee-Can as it is often called, is one of the world's longest highways. It will take you past mountains, prairie fields, Great Lakes, forests, marshes, cities and more scenery than you can handle.Jenelle Schneider / Calgary HeraldShareAdjustCommentPrint xShareTravel Top 5: Greatest Canadian Road Trips Email Twitter Facebook Pinterest Google Linkedin

BOSTON, Mass. – Senior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) earned NEWMAC Volleyball Player of the Week accolades after propelling MIT to a trio of victories last week. She totaled 41 kills, a .359 hitting percentage, 18 digs, six blocks, and five aces as the Engineers swept all three of their opponents.
Last Tuesday against Mount Holyoke College, Berger produced a match-high 11 kills to go along with 10 digs, three aces, and a block. She then led all players with 14 kills and had a .406 hitting performance, three blocks, and an ace versus Smith College on Saturday. Later in the afternoon, she amassed 16 kills, a .394 hitting effort, six digs, and two blocks in a victory over Framingham State University.
Next up for MIT (12-5, 2-1 NEWMAC) will be a trip to NEWMAC foe Clark University on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

The defense is so common that the words run together after a while (hence "freeze peach"): "Free speech! We have the right to say these things, so there's nothing wrong with saying them!" "Free speech! Preventing speech you don't like promotes a hive mind mentality and squelches reasonable debate!" The answers to these, of course, being: 1. No, you don't, not on someone else's blog or forum or at someone else's conference, and 2. No, it doesn't-- not when the speech in question amounts to harassment Harassment has a silencing effect on other people, people who actually have something useful to say.
"Freeze peach" is not a condemnation of actual free speech, of course, but a mockery of how people who clearly are a bit fuzzy on how the concept works try to manipulate it in order to justify...well, being douchebags. Basically, that's what it boils down to. It encapsulates two unfortunate but very common conclusions:
1. Free speech is the concept of people being able to say whatever they want, when and wherever they want. People have an obligation to let us-- if they don't, they oppose free speech.
2. The law is a direct reflection of our societal morality. If something is wrong, it should be illegal. If something is not illegal, it must be okay.
I don't think it's necessary to explain why these two unfortunately very common notions are mistaken. I do think they illustrate, however, why it's important to see that the people who make "freeze peach" arguments using these assumptions are not anarchists as they may seem, but authoritarians. They look to an authority-- the law, in this case-- to dictate right and wrong, and assume that what they're doing is right if the law doesn't forbid it and in fact seems to advocate it ("that which is not forbidden is compulsory"). That if something is entrenched in law, it is not only up to the government but individual citizens (as in bloggers, forum moderators, conference organizers, etc.) to support and uphold it.
But really, requiring that such private individuals should uphold freedom of speech does as much for the concept as requiring that individual citizens should uphold the Fourth Amendment would do for private property-- that is, it would destroy all meaning in the notion. Any "search and seizure" of one person's property by another (without consent) would indeed be unreasonable, and any use of another person's private ability to express him/herself (regardless of media) without consent would be a violation of that person's own freedom of speech. If you want to claim freedom of speech to say something reprehensible, you can find a sympathetic place to express such a thing, do it via your own means, or don't do it at all. Those are your options. You do not get to pirate someone else's platform in order to proclaim some sentiment they don't agree with.
Freedom of speech does not entitle one individual to use another individual's mouthpiece (whatever it may be) to speak. It prevents the government from deciding what that individual may or may not say, regardless of how brilliant and useful, or offensive and pointless, that individual's speech may be. Regardless of the content of the expression, we may not be prohibited from expressing it in public-- unless, that is, it violates one of the tightly conscribed laws in place to protect intellectual property and, in some cases, prevent the expression of outright obscenity (I'm not a fan of obscenity laws, but they do exist).
This is what free speech means. This is what I passionately defend. But because there are so many Americans who either don't understand or don't agree with this (or both), I'm reluctant to don a "freeze peach" shirt. I don't want to mock the people who think free speech defends their ability to be offensive wherever they want by appearing to support some form of government crackdown on offensive speech. Not when there's no shortage of people who support exactly that.
Not when they are signing petitions asking for that:
Users of the White House's "We the People" digital petition platform have flooded the site in support of an effort to officially designate the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.
The most popular petition was submitted on Dec. 14, the same day as the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., an incident that Westboro responded to by announcing its intent to picket the funerals of the 26 victims, including 20 young children. This plan made them a prime target of hacktivist group Anonymous and eventually drew a well-attended counter-protest to block the church's followers from disrupting the services.
The individual push has since received the support of nearly 250,000 signees, making it the most popular single petition ever created through the White House initiative.The thing is, there is no such thing as a federally recognized hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center has a list of groups that it recognizes as hate groups, which is fine because-- you can see this coming-- it's a private organization. But the government has no interested in determining whether a group is "hateful" or not-- not officially, at least-- because hate speech is not against the law. What they do have an interest in monitoring is possible terrorist tendencies, and WBC has bent over backwards to show that they have no interest in committing actual violence against anyone. They have succeeded in becoming almost a caricature of moronic spite, but that isn't illegal. As a sad irony, one of the effects of Anonymous publishing the personal information of Westboro members online was that people took the opportunity to threaten them, which is illegal. And yes, I would say that threatening a hateful person (or who you assume to be a hateful person-- not everyone who was threatened actually is a member of the WBC) with death is worse than being a hateful person.
Am I defending the WBC's beliefs and actions? Not in the slightest. Not any more than the ACLU was defending white supremacy and antisemitism when they defended the right of neo-Nazis to march in Skokie IL in 1978, a move that cost them enormous support from people who confused the defense of freedom of expression with defense of the ideas expressed. It's incredibly disturbing to see that when it comes to the WBC, at least a quarter of a million Americans are confused in just this way. Disturbing, but not surprising-- it's not at all uncommon to see people promote freedom only for those who are on their side, ideologically. Nor is it uncommon to see them go into authoritarian mode when an opportunity like this arises, asking the government to violate the rules it set for itself, so long ago, in order punish people they dislike. And no, it doesn't matter whether that dislike is legitimate or not, or how fervently it's held. It's still called injustice when the law is violating someone's freedom in your favor.
Their actions have been directed at many groups, including homosexuals, military, Jewish people and even other Christians. They pose a threat to the welfare and treatment of others and will not improve without some form of imposed regulation.So people...stop demanding precisely that. You actually have more power than the government when it comes to the speech of hateful organizations, because you don't have to allow them on your space. The government does, because its space is public. Its space is for all of us-- including the morons and the bigots. If you don't like it, take a deep breath and contemplate how many people would be happy to count you amongst the undesirables for your beliefs. Trust me, there are loads.
There are better ways to fight bigotry than by whittling away at the freedoms of bigots, because those are our freedoms as well. Let's remember that.
*Yes, I did narrowly avoid titling this post "I could eat a freezepeach for hours" in honor of the worst Nicholas Cage movie ever.


text: Precautionary Principle: Who Decides? April 7, 2014 07:57 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: National Institute for Animal Agriculture Most regulatory systems—including that of the United States — utilize a precautionary approach to regulation. And, while most people would agree that precaution is a good idea, two key questions arise: Is the precautionary approach working? Can overzealous precaution actually halt innovation? Several speakers zeroing in on the Precautionary Principle at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture's 2014 Annual Conference, "The Precautionary Principle: How Animal Agriculture will Thrive," in Omaha, Neb., April 1-2, unanimously agreed that an overabundance of precaution can impede innovation and stifle progress. Another speaker stressed to the 225-plus conference attendees that sustainability—and not the Precautionary Principle—should drive decisions. NIAA's Opening General Session speaker Mark Walton, PhD, Chief Marketing Officer for Recombinetics said the Precautionary Principle, which is based on a "better to be safe than sorry" approach to regulation, is not a "bad idea." But, when the Precautionary Principle becomes twisted and diverts progress due to prejudices, he contends that it is not accomplishing what it was designed to do. Walton identified several challenges associated with policy being set when the Precautionary Principle is taken to the extreme. Among the challenges he shared are "who gets to decide what risks warrant not moving a product forward" and why do fear-instilled, perceived risks voiced by activist groups take precedence over fact-based evidence such as research and science findings. Adding to the concern is that "there is no single, generally agreed-to definition of the Precautionary Principle." While NIAA's Closing General Session speakers Ron Stotish, PhD, president and chief executive officer of AquaBounty Technologies, and Dave Edwards, PhD, director of Animal Biotechnology, agree that the Precautionary Principle applied to the extreme can halt progress, Edwards didn't leave those in animal agriculture off the hook. He stressed that it is animal agriculture's job to be open and transparent, communicate with consumers and convince others than the technology used is safe. "Overabundant precaution calls for getting people comfortable with innovative processes," Edwards stated. Everything is changing in today's world and the rate of change is close to unbelievable, Marty Matlock, PhD, executive director for the Office of Sustainability and a professor of biological and agricultural engineering at the University of Arkansas, told conference attendees. "While we don't know where we will be 40 years from now, what we do now can make a difference," Matlock said. With technology continually bringing about change, Matlock said sustainability should be the focus of all change. Borrowing from "Field to Market™," Matlock defines agricultural sustainability as "meeting the needs of the present while improving the ability to meet future generations by increasing agricultural productivity while decreasing environmental impact; improving human health through access to safe, nutritious food; and improving social and economic well-being of rural communities." Matlock said the sustainability message needs to be communicated beyond agriculture. Before any messages go out, however, he maintains that trust must be built between farmers/ranchers and consumers. He urged farmers/ranchers to organize, identify their aspirations and convey their aspirations to consumer and companies that utilize agricultural commodities such a meat and milk. And he said strategies and tactics must be put in place to bring identified aspirations to reality. "The best messages are from those who are farmers and ranchers," he stated. "We invented sustainable agriculture, and we're good at it. In fact, we're better than anyone on the planet." If Matlock could wave a magic wand today, he would replace the Precautionary Principle with a strong focus on sustainability, adding that there are risks associated with not adopting technology Back to news

Weekly Fraser Valley Sport fishing column for June 17 to 24, 2013
When it comes to catching fish that are feeding off the meniscus (yes I know fly fisher jargon) or what is more commonly know as the surface film of water, there are really only two options: a dry fly or floating plug. It is debatable who was first to cover surface feeding activity; the fly tiers or plug makers. Whoever they were, they opened the door to one of the most exciting facets of sport fishing. Whether you fish with a dry (floating) line and fly or a floating plug; the take by a surface feeding fish is highly visual and often explosive. Add the mystique of fishing under the moon in the stillness of a warm summer night, and this style of fishing can be absolutely mesmerizing.
Putting the excitement aside there are other benefits to this type of fishing. A dry (floating) line is the easiest fly line to cast, making dry fly fishing one of the easiest forms of fly presentation to learn. As for anglers, who choose what is referred to as top water there is the added benefit that non-diving lures do not hang up on obstacles below the surface. The season for these two forms of fishing may be short, starting in late spring and continuing through to early fall, but it is definitely in a class by itself.
There are some who believe catching a fish in any other ways is nothing short of sacrilegious. As for me, I am not that brazen in my passion for top water fishing, but it is still my first choice above all else.
The Report
Fishing on our lower mainland lakes is good, but with the weather and water heating up, it is time to adjust your fishing schedule to early mornings and evenings. For wet (sinking) fly fishing try: Bloodworm, Nations Black, Zulu, Wooly Bugger, Wooly Worm, Pumpkin Head, Micro Leach, Doc Spratley, Halfback, Sixpack, or Baggy Shrimp. For dry (floating) fly action try: Lady McConnel, Tom Thumb, Irresistible, Double Hackled Peacock, Royal Coachman, Black Gnat, Griffith Gnat, or Elk Hair Caddis. For kokanee try: Scarlet Ibis, San Juan Worm, Double Trude, Blood Worm, Kokanee Thriller, Kokanee Zonker, or Red Spratley.
Our lower Mainland bass and panfish are fishing well. For Bass try: Big Black, Wooly Bugger, Gomphus Bug, Crayfish, Clouser's Deep Minnow, Lefty's Deceiver, Dolly Whacker, Bucktail, Hair Frog, Poppers, Chernobyl Ant, or Stimulator. For Panfish try smaller (size 12 to 16) versions of the above.
Most interior lakes are fishing very well. For wet fly fishing try: Chironomid, Bloodworm, Halfback Nymph, Baggy Shrimp, Pumpkin Head, Wooly Bugger, Big Black, Dragon Nymph, Sixpack, 52 Buick, or Doc Spratley. For dry fly fishing try: Lady McConnel, Tom Thumb, Adams, Irresistible, Renegade, Black Gnat, or Elk Hair Caddis.

Cisco MDS SanOS Troubleshooting Guide -- Before Contacting Technical Support
From DocWiki
This section introduces the basic concepts, methodology, and general troubleshooting guidelines for problems that may occur when configuring and using the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of multilayer directors and fabric switches. This section discusses about the steps to be taken before contacting TAC.
Before Contacting Technical Support
This appendix describes the steps to perform before calling for technical support for any Cisco MDS 9000 Family multilayer director and fabric switch. This appendix includes the following sections:
- Steps to Perform Before Calling TAC
- Using Core Dumps
|If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL: [http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtm
Steps to Perform Before Calling TAC
At some point, you may need to contact your customer support representative or Cisco TAC for some additional assistance. This section outlines the steps that you should perform prior to contacting your next level of support, because you can reduce the amount of time spent resolving the issue.
|Do not reload the module or the switch at least until you have completed Step 1. Some logs and counters are kept in volatile storage and will not survive a reload.
To prepare for contacting your customer support representative, follow these steps:
1. Collect switch information and configuration. This should be done before and after the issue has been resolved. The following three methods each provide the same information:
- a. Select Tools > Show Tech Support in Fabric Manager. Fabric Manager can capture switch configuration information from multiple switches simultaneously. The file can be saved on the local PC.
- b. Configure your Telnet or SSH application to log the screen output to a text file. Use the terminal length 0 CLI command and then use the show tech-support details CLI command.
- c. Use the tac-pac <filename> CLI command to redirect the output of the show tech-support details CLI command to a file, and then gzip the file.
<nowiki>switch# tac-pac bootflash://showtech.switch1 <nowiki>
If no filename is specified, the file is created as volatile:show_tech_out.gz. The file should then be copied from the switch using the procedure outlined in the "Copying Files to or from the Switch" section.
2. If an error occurs in Fabric Manager, take a screen shot of the error. In Windows, press Alt PrintScreen to capture the active window, or press only PrintScreen to capture the entire desktop. Then paste this into a new Microsoft Paint (or similar program) session and save the file.
3. Capture the exact error codes you see in the message logs from either Fabric Manager or the CLI.
- a. Click the Logs tab in the Map pane in Fabric Manager or choose Switches > Events to see the recent list of messages generated.
- b. Copy the error from the message log, which can be displayed using either the show logging log CLI command or the show logging last number command to view the last lines of the log.
4. Answer the following questions before calling for technical support:
- On which switch, host bus adapter (HBA), or storage port is the problem occurring?
- Which Cisco SAN-OS software, driver versions, operating systems versions and storage device firmware are in your fabric?
- What is the network topology? (In Fabric Manager, go to Tools > Show Tech Support and check the Save Map check box.)
- Were any changes being made to the environment (zoning, adding modules, upgrades) prior to or at the time of this event?
- Are there other similarly configured devices that could have this problem, but do not?
- Where was this problematic device connected (which MDS switch and interface)?
- When did this problem first occur?
- When did this problem last occur?
- How often does this problem occur?
- How many devices have this problem?
- Were any traces or debug output captured during the problem time? What troubleshooting steps have you attempted? Which, if any, of the following tools were used?
- FC Analyzer, PAA-2, Ethereal, local or remote SPAN
- CLI debug commands
- FC traceroute, FC ping
- Fabric Manager or Device Manager tools
5. Is your problem related to a software upgrade attempt?
- What was the original Cisco SAN-OS version?
- What is the new Cisco SAN-OS version?
- Did you use Fabric Manager or the CLI to attempt this upgrade?
- Collect the output from the following commands:
- show install all status
- show system internal log install
- show system internal log install details
- show log nvram
- Forward them to your customer support representative.
6. If your problem is related to zoning, use the show zone tech-support CLI command to gather relevant information.
Copying Files to or from the Switch
It may be required to move files to or from the switch. These files may include log, configuration, or firmware files.
Copying Files Using Device Manager
To copy the configuration from the switch using Device Manager, follow these steps:
1. Choose Admin > Copy Configuration. You see the Copy Configuration dialog box.
2. Set the To field to the server where you want to copy the configuration file to.
3. Set the From field to running or startup configuration.
4. Select the protocol you want to use to copy the file from the switch.
4. Select Apply to copy the file.
To copy files to the switch using Device Manager, follow these steps:
1. Choose Admin > Flash Files. You see the list of files in the chosen device and partition.
2. Select Copy to copy a file. You see the copy file dialog box.
3. Select the protocol that you want to use to copy the file to the switch.
4. Set the server address and the file that you want to copy.
5. Select Apply to copy the file.
Copying Files Using the CLI
The CLI offers a broad range of protocols to use for copying to or from the switch. Note that the switch always acts as a client, such that an ftp/scp/tftp session will always originate from the switch and either push files to an external system or pull files from an external system.
File Server: 172.22.36.10 File to be copied to the switch: /etc/hosts
The copy CLI command supports four transfer protocols and 12 different sources for files.
ca-9506# copy ? bootflash: Select source filesystem core: Select source filesystem debug: Select source filesystem ftp: Select source filesystem licenses Backup license files log: Select source filesystem modflash: Select source filesystem nvram: Select source filesystem running-config Copy running configuration to destination scp: Select source filesystem sftp: Select source filesystem slot0: Select source filesystem startup-config Copy startup configuration to destination system: Select source filesystem tftp: Select source filesystem volatile: Select source filesystem
Use the following syntax to use secure copy (scp) as the transfer mechanism:
To copy /etc/hosts from 172.22.36.10 using the user user1, where the destination would be hosts.txt, use the following command:
switch# copy scp://email@example.com/etc/hosts bootflash:hosts.txt firstname.lastname@example.com's password: hosts 100% |*****************************| 2035 00:00
To back up the startup-configuration to a sftp server, use the following command:
switch# copy startup-config sftp://email@example.com/MDS/startup-configuration.bak1 Connecting to 172.22.36.10... firstname.lastname@example.com's password: switch#
Backing up the startup-configuration to a server should be done on a daily basis and prior to any changes. A short script could be written to be run on the MDS to perform a save, and then a backup of the configuration. The script only needs to contain two commands: copy running-configuration startup-configuration and then copy startup-configuration tftp://server/name. To execute the script use: run-script filename.
Using Core Dumps
Core dumps are available in situations where unknown problems exist. Dumps are sent to a TFTP server or to a flash card in slot0: of the local switch. You should set up your switch to generate core dumps under the instruction of your customer support representative. Core dumps are decoded by technical support engineers.
Best practice is to set up cores dumps to go to a TFTP server. These core dumps can be e-mailed directly to your customer support representative.
Setting Up Core Dumps Using the CLI
Use the system cores CLI command to set up core dumps on your switch.
switch# system cores tftp://10.91.51.200/jsmith_cores switch# show system cores Cores are transferred to tftp://10.91.51.200/jsmith_cores
|The filename (indicated by jsmith_cores) must exist in the TFTP server directory.

I know, I know… CHA was a while ago. I actually had a debate with myself about when to share since the dies I worked with wouldn't be available until October (right now, yo!). Sometimes I find it torturous to see cool stuff but know I wont be able to get it for months. So I waited…
Karen Burniston, who is a licensed designer for Sizzix, released not only new Pop `n Cuts at the CHA-Summer 2012 show, she also released some regular Bigz dies as well. It was a huge release!
I've got a ton of projects to share so I'm going to break it up into a couple of different posts. Today I'm am sharing some projects I made with the Bigz dies.
Sizzix Bigz Die – Album, Accordion Flip 3-D #658035 and Sizzix Bigz die – Frame & Label, Bracket #658037
The According Flip Album die is awesome! You can cut as many pages as you want and make your mini album as big (or small!) as you want.
Sizzix Bigz Die – Tree, Evergreen 3-D (Pop-Up) #658043
This Evergreen Tree has some of the simplest folds and makes it really easy to use. I'm all about simple so I'm sure it'll get used a lot.
Sizzix Bigz Die – Door, Opening & Wreath #65036
This is such a cool die! The die comes with a wreath that can be cut out too and it's the perfect size for cards.
Like I said, these are just now available so if you're interested in getting them then this is what you need to do…
- ask your local scrapbook store to carry them.
- ask your favorite on line store to carry them.
- want them? ask for them! Just give your store of choice the die names and numbers.
Look for more new release projects soon!

Tiffany Still Confused About How Liability Works; Appeals eBay Decision
from the let's-try-this-again dept
The company is now appealing the ruling, making some bizarre arguments in its own defense:
"If one were a flea market operator and you become aware that counterfeiting is going on with the individual sellers at the flea market, you have a duty to investigate it. Why is eBay any different from that analogy?"Well, two things, actually. First, it's the individual seller in that situation that's liable, not the flea market operator, and much more importantly, eBay is quite different than a typical flea market in that it doesn't pre-vet any of the sellers. A traditional flea market involves the flea market operator finding sellers. eBay is just a platform where anyone can sell. That is, eBay has simply no knowledge of what anyone is selling on the site -- nor should it be required to. The law is pretty clear on this, so it's not at all clear what Tiffany thinks it's going to accomplish here other than to waste a lot of money on lawyers who seem to be giving the company really bad advice.

Five Cool Summer Dishes with Rice Noodles
There are a few pantry staples that, despite their year-round availability, seem to belong in the summer kitchen. Rice noodles are one of these things for me. They are quick to cook, and they don't involve heating up a whole pot of boiling water in an already humid kitchen! They are cool and slippery, and so delicious with fresh summer vegetables. Here's a look back at five ways to make a meal out of rice noodles.
Rice noodles are a major pantry staple for some of us, and here's a look at how they differ from soba, udon, and other Asian noodles. Rice noodles come in all shapes and sizes, but most types can be cooked by immersion into a bowl filled with boiling water. I usually run them under cold water to stop their cooking, then, and use them in some cool, fresh dish.
Here are a few great ones from The Kitchn's archives!
• Sumo Sunomono: Quick Noodle Salad with Pickles – From Pierre Lamielle of the great blog Kitchen Scraps, a recipe for rice noodles with quick pickled vegetables and shrimp!
• Bún Chay (Vietnamese Vegetarian Noodle Salad) – This may be the coolest recipe of them all, with slivered cucumbers, shredded lettuce, and fresh lime juice.
• Joyce's Drunken Noodle Salad – A quick and easy recipe from last year's Quick Weeknight Meals recipe contest. The piquant sauce is the best part!
• Goi Chay (Vietnamese Vegetarian Salad) – Cabbage salad, rice noodles, chicken or tofu, fragrant herbs. Yum yum yum…
• Vietnamese Rice Noodle Pho – OK, so pho is more of a hot dish than a cold one! But it's still so great in the summer, with fresh sprouts and greens, and lots of hot sauce to help you sweat!
What's your favorite way to eat rice noodles in the summer?

LONDON - Alex Ferguson has warned Manchester United's title rivals that revitalised Mexico striker Javier Hernandez will play a significant role in the battle for the Premier League.
While Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney hog most of the headlines and attention from opposition defenders, Hernandez has quietly gone about his business in clinical fashion this season.
The 24-year-old Mexican took his tally to 10 goals for the campaign with his last-minute winner in United's 4-3 win over Newcastle on Wednesday and Ferguson believes he has rediscovered the dynamic form that made him such a hit in his debut season after a disappointing effort last term.
With Rooney sidelined with a knee injury, Hernandez ensures defences can't just focus on shutting down van Persie and his strike against Newcastle allowed United to open up a seven-point lead over second placed Manchester City. Ferguson, whose side will look to extend that advantage when they host West Bromwich Albion later Saturday, said: "He has been doing it all season.
"Every time Javier has played he has contributed. He has got 10 goals now and that is despite not playing every week. On Wednesday he could have scored four or five.
"Javier's effort and enthusiasm to play is absolutely fantastic. He is a great example to anybody who wants to be a footballer.
"He is exactly the same in training and gives 100 percent in every session."
Meanwhile, City's title defence was dealt a potentially decisive blow in a 1-0 loss at Sunderland on Wednesday, and Saturday's opponents, Norwich, have been beaten at home just twice all season.
The champions' odds of retaining their crown are lengthening by the week, but manager Roberto Mancini says he is not fazed by his side's seven-point deficit.
"It hasn't changed. At this moment, United are better than us, they are at the top, but we have time to recover," Mancini said.
"We need to resolve our problems before and after, maybe we can win. It's no problem, seven points.
"That's not important. We know United are a fantastic team and probably they will win every game, but the season is long and it is not important if it is six or seven or four points."
City's setback enabled Chelsea to close to within four points of second place by winning 1-0 at Norwich and Rafael Benitez's side -- 8-0 victors over Aston Villa in their previous game -- also have a game in hand.
On Sunday, last season's Champions League winners visit fifth-place Everton -- one of three teams in the table on 33 points, along with Tottenham Hotspur and West Brom.
Arsenal lost ground in the battle for a top-four finish, and Champions League qualification, after their Wednesday game with West Ham United was cancelled due to a strike on the London Underground transport network.
The Gunners have therefore benefited from an unexpected period of rest at a time when their rivals' resources have been stretched, but midfielder Jack Wilshere says his team-mates will have to switch on quickly when they return to action at home to Newcastle on Saturday.
"It's a tough game against Newcastle," he said.
"They need the points, they're not in a good run of form and they'll want to prove something, but we want to keep this momentum going."
Queens Park Rangers, who returned to the foot of the table after losing at home to West Brom, host Liverpool on Sunday, while second-bottom Reading tackle West Ham on Saturday and third-bottom Wigan Athletic are at Villa.

how do I avoid these problems
FAQ: How do I get rid of black bars around my movie?
especially the long rendering time?
2. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowJohn T Smith Mar 20, 2012 10:44 AM (in response to Tomchook)
Note... rendering is when you press the enter key to render the video on the timeline for viewing... exporting is what you do to create a new file
>imported the WMV
WMV is a compressed output file, not really meant to be edited... as such, you are adding a new level of compression when you create a new file
3. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowTomchook Mar 20, 2012 3:06 PM (in response to Tomchook)
I'm sorry, but none of you helped me to figure a way to export my video in different settings that would improve the export time. I understand that I should buy a better computer, but it just seems irrational that it's so easy to compress and export such a big file in WLMM and it takes so much system effort to do a similar thing with premiere, which gives a lower quality output..
Thanks for the black bars guide. I'll use it. But could you please address the settings of my export please? Anything that might speed things up?
4. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowJeff Bellune Mar 20, 2012 3:33 PM (in response to Tomchook)
Why are you editing in WLMM in the first place?
H.264 is incredibly processor intensive. A core2 duo will be very, very slow rendering to HD H.264. And if your source footage wasn't HD, then upscaling to HD will result in a very noticeable quality loss.
If you want useful output from the forum, you need to provide useful input. GIGO and all that. You're off to a good start, but we need more. Read here:
Adobe Forums: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
5. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowStan Jones Mar 20, 2012 6:19 PM (in response to Tomchook)
a way to export my video in different settings that would improve the export time.
As Jeff points out, for HD material you face a long export at some point in the process.
Short of hardwareupgrades, the best way to save time is to export once, rather than twice. Since you have encore, edit in Premiere, and bypass WMM entirely.
If you want to use WMM for some other reason, do you have Windows Movie Maker (pre windows 7 version) or Windows Live Movie Maker? The export options were always weak, but very limited in WLMM. Quality, as well as time, will be your problem using this workflow. The best you can do there is to maximize the datarate using a wmv file
6. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowthe_wine_snob Mar 20, 2012 7:24 PM (in response to Tomchook)
You have two strikes (well, three, depending on how you count) against you.
WMV is heavily-compressed, as is H.264. They each take a lot of processing horsepower, and you completely lack that.
I would begin the Encoding process, and then go get lunch, and probably not "take out," depending on the Duration of your Timeline.
Good luck,
7. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowStan Jones Mar 20, 2012 7:30 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
At risk of Jeff sending me to the lounge, I'll just say that overnight is more practical, but a meal is more poetic. Nine hours (see original post) is more like Brunch through Dinner... with a nice bottle of wine.
8. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowthe_wine_snob Mar 20, 2012 7:38 PM (in response to Stan Jones)1 person found this helpful
Yes, that is about what I was thinking, hence the "probably not take out... "
Going back a year, or two, I was handed three WMV's to just join, create some Menus, and author to DVD. The client refused to look for the material, prior to WMV. The total Duration, IIRC, was about 120 mins. total. In anger, I loaded them into PrPro, and did the light Trimming, then went to Export to bring into Encore. On the workstation, this was going very slowly. Client called, and pushed up the deadline, so I grabbed the laptop, converted his WMV's to DV-AVI, brought those into PrPro, Trimmed, and Exported to DV-AVI. Imported that file into Encore, re-did the Menus, and burned the DVD, just as the courier arrived. It was still almost an hour later, that the WMV Project finished, and would still have had to Import into Encore to author. Somewhere, I posted the times, but the differences were drastic. Even with the time to do a batch convert on the WMV's, the little laptop beat the workstation by at least an hour, or maybe more.
WMV is fine for streaming media, in final delivery, but is horrible to try to edit, even if it is a supported format/CODEC.
9. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowJim_Simon Mar 20, 2012 9:26 PM (in response to Tomchook)1 person found this helpful
Anything that might speed things up?
You don't speed things up by changing the export settings. Those settings are determined by the intended use of the output file.
You speed things up with faster hardware.
10. Re: Video rendering is extremely slowptal78 Aug 13, 2015 4:51 AM (in response to Tomchook)
I cut my speed from 6hrs down to 40 minutes using a small trick.
I couldn't believe it, but read on to see why my choice involves a Microsoft product - gee - it's come to this!
Premiere doesn't really work so well with WMV for speed, but if you convert all your video to mp4 first, and then use mp4 in Premiere you can save heaps of time rendering. My 40min time was actually 20min converting the files to mp4 in another software, then just 20min to do the final render in Premiere. So Premiere is actually about 20x faster working with MP4 than it is working with native WMV of the same resolution and frame rate.
I hate to say it, but I actually think Adobe did this on purpose just to make people think WMV is a bad format, and have done this simply by limiting the CPU usage. Please hear me out. Using WMV, Premiere idled it's way there in 6hrs, but MP4 blasted in 20min with 90% CPU. I had Expression Encoder from Microsoft so I tried it and it amazingly converted the WMV file to MP4 in a matter of minutes. Encoder blasted the CPU at 95% to get the job done in record time (from WMV to MP4).
So, I thought, maybe this is just a Premiere thing and I'll try Adobe Media Encoder instead of Microsoft Expression Encoder. Damn - 4hrs for Adobe Media Convert to do the same thing Expression Encoder just did in 20min to convert WMV to MP4. I could be wrong though. Maybe Microsoft did the dirty on Adobe and stops them from converting WMV at speed, or maybe the quality is greatly different! In the end, I cancelled all the Adobe WMV conversions before the finished anyway.
I'm sticking with Expression Encoder to convert any WMV to MP4 and Premiere for the MP4 editing. But, please don't take offense. I could be totally wrong. I admit, I'm not an expert on the matter and I'm sure there are definitely other reasonable points of view.

OMG! That Leon final boss just wouldn't freaking die He's got more perseverance than a shounen protagonist !! And each transformation is more F**ked up than the last But on a positive note, I can't deny it makes was one hell of a battle... Or rather, battles.
At the end... They're really pushing the Leon/Ada angle huh I know they weren't exactly subtle to begin with, but this time it's like firing on all cylinders Hell, they still manages to squeeze in Leon's trademark line-
"Heh, women..."

And I believe I found the reason why critics are divided over Bio6 :-
Capcom producer revealed that RE brand has to move toward action to pick up the casual CoD crowd in order to garner similar sales.

Bad move for Kawata for making RE look like COD, he should know that the COD empire is about to fall sooner or later -_-; not very innovative and it's no wonder why many famous people from capcom are leaving and start establishing their own game company.

Finished the first three chapter 1 and I am liking the game thus far. I can understand of course the frustrations about the series shift in the last 5 years but hey as someone who started with the first game it's both good and bad.
For me the biggext problem is that the game sets absurdly high expectations and while succeeds in most, falls short on others. I am loving the different settings and gameplay styles per character, the more action oriented combat and in some cases the classic cheap scares. The more story oriented approach is also a good thing for me as it really delves deeper in a series that has always had a lot of potential than a simple video game tribute to b horror movies.
On the other hand it lacks a lot of consistency. The fantastic set pieces are tempered down by some dull sections. Combat can get frustrations by some control issues. Taking everything in consideration it feels like 2 steps forward and one step back rather than the hyped radical change in survival horror. The series has changed a lot in recent years so ymmv, but for me in the end it still so for manages to retain the old school elements that it revolutionized but still managed to evolve.
Not the amazing game I wanted it to be but a great game nonetheless.

It doesn't matter how much they try to imitate COD or beat it, I don't believe they have a chance, at least in terms of sales. They could be the king of the more niche genre of survival horror, but instead they foolishly go after the crown of one they can never dethrone.
More subjectively, as someone who was a fan of Banjo Kazooie and went through the trauma of Nuts & Bolts, and whose thoughts on the subject are informed by that, I'm never a fan of a franchise almost entirely ditching its roots to head in a wholly new direction. Nothing wrong with trying to appeal to more players, or evolving a franchise, but if you're trying to completely change your stripes, just make a new IP. Comments like this producer's reflect the worst kind of selling out, as far as I'm concerned.

Though I really think Capcom should just shut up about COD, it's giving them unnecessary bad rep on top of their existing bad rep.
But seriously, this change in style has been going on for almost 10 years already; nearly half of the Resident Evil main games have this style. Isn't it already a part of the series' roots and traditions as well?

CoD: Frankly, I would be surprised if the game did not change that way. Let's face it: Like it or not, after Raccoon City the use of BOWs became widely spread in the context of RE, so exactly how do you keep to survival horror when the entire world is potentially at stake? Just as 9/11 changed our world, Raccoon City changed the RE world. To ignore that change is really being behind the times.
Okay, so I finished up to Chapter 2 of the main three campaigns. Considering which one to finish first. Right now my current thought is Jake -> Chris -> Leon, but if there are any suggestions, my ears are open.

Completed Chris' campaign; Story-wise in some ways I like it better than Leon's... Certainly very emotional.
Gameplay-wise it's almost a complete opposite of Leon's but not in the way you're thinking; fighting Javo is a completely different experience than fighting zombies. There certainly are alot more of ball-ache moments, usually in wide open areas like the Edonia and the Aircraft carrier while Leon's ball-ache fights are narrow and restricting areas like the underground cavern. With zombies, quickshot and melee are your best friend, while with Javo I tend to rely on mostly on guns.
Against Javo you're pretty much screwed if you run out of ammo, but aside from the occasional rpg assholes, there isn't alot of cheap attacks that will demolish your health unlike Zombies.
Special moments?

The rumor on "No Hope Left Mode" is to unlock everything.
I think the reason why they gave RE6 low scores for one it's a mixture of games all rolled into one. Shooting, QTE, chase, heck even the car chase seen from Chris's campaign looks like a game from Capcom, Ace Combat, COD, bad camera always moving much worst than RE5 and so on. Which is a bad mix.
The good thing here is that at least it still has a good story, has some of that old school RE feel in "some" events on the campaign stages.
Also that guy is not HUNK, it's a BSAA agent that survived.
Oh and yes, this similarity
