Food & Drink
The 10 ultimate Bahamas experiences
By Amy Balfour, Lonely Planet • Published 30th December 2011
. Seven hundred islands. Twenty-five hundred cays. Four days of vacation. What do you do?
to the
Out Islands
, here's our cheat sheet for the Bahamian best in exploring, imbibing and just plain loafing.
1. Kayaking & kiteboarding, Exumas
Hundreds of cays swoosh over a 120-mile span of crystal blue in the
, a shimmering natural playground anchored by lonely coves and critter-filled reefs. Glide past palmettos and plovers near George Town or paddle to iguana-owned shores in Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park. Adrenaline junkies may prefer swooping the gusty banks by kiteboard.

2. A goombay smash at Miss Emily's, Abacos
Miss Emily's Blue Bee shines like a bright blue gumdrop near the center of New Plymouth, a gingerbread town clinging tight to windswept Green Turtle Cay on
. For decades, yachties and day-trippers have drifted into the Blue Bee for jug-poured goombay smashes -- the drink was created here -- and the easygoing charm of Violet Smith, Miss Emily's daughter. Tack your business card to the wall.
Ferries depart the Green Turtle Ferry Dock near Treasure Cay ($15 roundtrip).
3. Diving with friends, Andros
Divers swap stories and lies at Small Hope Bay Lodge,
, where the only thing better than peering over the Tongue of the Ocean is talking up the adventure with friends. And everyone's a friend at this affable, family-owned retreat near Fresh Creek. With its home-cooked buffets, eco-friendly accommodations and laugh-filled happy hours,
Small Hope
serves up everything but the camp songs.
4. Junkanoo, Nassau
Christmas doesn't leave Nassau on lullabies and sugarplums. It parades out of town in a jostling blast of whistles, horns, drums, and cowbells that whirls down Bay Street in the wee hours of Boxing Day. In this brightly costumed celebration, which traces its roots to West Africa and plantation-era religious rites, neighborhood teams compete for prizes.
If you miss the parade on Boxing Day, there's a second one on New Year's Day and a warm-up in the summer.
5. Stylish loafing, Harbour Island, Eleuthera
Roving roosters and sputtering golf carts are part of the charm in Dunmore Town, a chichi
Harbour Island
village where Wall Streeters, supermodels and kitesurfers come for the shimmering pink sand beach. Beyond loafing, requirements are few: lunch at Sip Sip, cocktails at
Rock House
and mingling at Vic Hum, where the basketball court doubles as a dance floor.

6. Aquaventure & aquariums, Paradise Island
Got the grownup blues? Hurtle back to your childhood with a 60-foot plunge, a bobbing river ride and a shark-encircled waterslide at the 141-acre
Aquaventure at Atlantis
, on
New Providence
. More than 20,000 exotic fish and sea creatures -- from orange Nemos to stately manta rays -- float past in the resort's vast-but-walkable network of tanks and lagoons.
7. Apres-snorkel at Nippers, Abacos
Mother Nature smiled when she created Great Guana Cay, a breezy isle floating just a few kicks away from the fish-and-coral treasures of the Great Abaco Barrier Reef.
Nippers Beach Bar & Grill
adds a wink to that smile with cold Kaliks, beach-shack conviviality and free use of its snorkel gear. The Sunday afternoon pig roast is a legend.
The ferry to Guana Cay ($25 roundtrip) docks beside the Conch Inn in Marsh Harbour.
8. Pirate wanderings, Nassau
Governor Woodes Rogers may have expelled Nassau's pirates in 1718, but that doesn't mean they actually left. Engaging displays about parrots, peg legs and Blackbeard keep swabby legends alive at the
Pirates of Nassau Museum
while the 260-year-old Graycliff Hotel charms guests with swashbuckling tales of its buccaneer founder. A statue of Rogers stays vigilant from his pedestal in the middle of town.
9. Smith's Point Fish Fry, Grand Bahama
Every taxi driver on the island knows the way to the
Fish Fry
, a Wednesday night tradition at Smith's Point, east of Lucaya on
Grand Bahama
. Locals queue early for grouper, lobster and snapper, fried up Bahamian-style under a wooden shack by the sea. Trust us, everyone's here or on the way. Stick around for after-dinner dancing.
10. Friday-night jam at Elvina's, Eleuthera
First-timers always ask the same question: Where did all these people come from?
, a ramshackle roadside shack in lonely Gregory Town, lures 'em in from far and wide for short sets by native musicians and traveling pros. Who's here? Low-key locals, gregarious old salts, sun-baked surfers and, occasionally, Lenny Kravitz.
(Elvina's should actually be number one, but we're hiding it here out of selfishness.)

Contemporist has a great post on Inamo, one of the newer restaurants in London's West End, which boasts fully interactive tables with touch technology. The tables function use overhead projectors and touch panels on the tables that work together to display things like menus, as well as rotate through a series of seven tablecloths according to the patrons preference. Customers are also able to order directly from the digital menu, reducing waiters to little more than human FAQs.
Inamo's tables are also capable of running games and providing location-based services, like ordering a cab. Planned out by Blacksheep, Inamo also features state-of-the-art design that pays special attention to factors such as colours, spacing, and visual coherency. Sure, the tables may not render 3D models like some concepts we've seen in the past, but these ones actually exist in a public space. Here's the description straight from Blacksheep:
The 'cocoon' projectors are set at the same height throughout within the suspended high gloss black ceiling and come in three sizes to light 2-cover, 4-cover or 6-cover tables. When customers sit down there are white spots for plates and an individual 'e-cloth' for each table. Customers use a touch panel to order food and drink or change their table top to one of the seven other patterns available. 'Serving staff are available at any time to help customers to navigate their menus or answer any other queries, but the menus have been exceptionally clearly designed and should be both intuitive and fool-proof for users!' Project Designer Benjamin Webb commented.

Recently we rolled out 22 Great Breakfast Spots in Virginia – as nominated by locals – and the response has been fantastic. In that same spirit of morning delights and food that's worth the drive, we present to you 10 Virginia B&Bs with a Notable Breakfast.
The innkeepers of Holladay House Bed and Breakfast in Orange take their breakfast seriously. Organic, locally-sourced ingredients are key to their morning preparations. The innkeepers are dedicated to supporting local farms and businesses, and you'll find a list of their food partners here. In addition to the freshest breakfast possible (and made to your dietary specifications), Holladay House serves Holladay House Signature Coffee in cooperation with Orange County Coffee Roasters. It's a custom roast that you can take home.
Chestnut Cove B&B in Farnham is your choice bed and breakfast for hands-on stained glass creations, but don't stop there. Guests have raved that the "scones at breakfast are worth the drive alone," and that the innkeepers offer an "absolutely yummy breakfast burrito with beautiful presentation."
Ivycrest Inn B&B in Christiansburg is a grand Victorian with multiple spaces in which to enjoy your buffet-style hot breakfast each morning. One guest wrote of Ivycrest, "… woke up to a wonderful smell. We had a breakfast casserole and apple dumplings." I'm imagining those hot apples on the porch during fall, myself.
*Holladay House, Chestnut Cove and Ivycrest Inn were all nominated to be included in the 22 Great Breakfast Spots in Virginia post, but we felt this post was a much better place for you to find them.
Channel Bass Inn on Chincoteague Island was recognized in May 2013 by The Daily Meal as one of the Top 50 US Bed and Breakfasts for Food. Fresh baked breads, fruits, warm compote, farm-fresh eggs and then some make the Channel Bass breakfast a "very full breakfast." After you've enjoyed a great breakfast and whiled away the day, a three o'clock four-course tea affair awaits you, complete with scones and quite a variety more.

The Magnolia House Inn in Hampton received attention from Essence in 2010, as innkeeper Joyce Blair's Croissant French Toast was highlighted in a healthy living article. The intro to the article reads, "Four innkeepers at African-American-owned B&Bs share delectable recipes that will have your brunch guests wanting to stay the night." Why not stay with Joyce, enjoy her french toast to see how it's really supposed to taste, and then whip them up at home?

Bay Haven Inn of Cape Charles has a farm-to-table philosophy for their breakfasts, making the preserves and jams from scratch, and serving a delicious meal using backyard and local ingredients. In addition, Bay Haven serves a personalized, micro-roast coffee by Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Company. If available, ask for their signature Sweet Potato Biscuits with Virginia country ham!
>> Get Jim's recipe for Sweet Potato Biscuits!
At the Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast in Lynchburg, you can expect a wide variety of three-course breakfast offerings, but also a special of the month. As fall approaches, let the idea of pumpkin waffles topped with apples and walnuts dance in your head, or maybe a gingerbread waffle in December? Dietary restrictions can be met with 48 hours' notice.
Cedar Springs Inn in Charlottesville boasts beautiful porch seating with expansive mountain views for their big country breakfasts. Each guest is served a personal loaf of coffeecake or sweet bread, plus fruit, choice of meat or fish, and choice of two savory and one sweet entree. There's no reason to skip this breakfast.
The White Pig Bed and Breakfast in Schuyler specializes in vegan breakfasts and is an oasis for rescued animals. White Pig has been honored as a winner of the Veggie Awards (2004) by VegNews, and by PETA with a Proggy Award (2004). Expect to find delicious offerings on their breakfast menu, including organic Belgium waffles with fresh strawberries.
>> Get Dina's recipe for Blueberry Pancakes!
Williamsburg Sampler Bed and Breakfast in Williamsburg was honored with a proclamation from the Mayor of Williamsburg in 2008 in part for their US Registered Trademark SkipLunch® Breakfast. That term came to be, as their website explains, when the innkeepers were worried a guest who happened to be a college football player with a big appetite wouldn't be satisfied with his breakfast. They served him a hungry man's style breakfast and the player said, "Thanks for the Skip Lunch Breakfast." And the breakfasts at Williamsburg Sampler have never been the same.
Without a doubt there are dozens more amazing B&B breakfasts in Virginia and we want to hear about them! Simply leave a comment so we'll know and others will, too.

With a couple of months still left to go in the year, Chicago has already managed to tie the 2011 mark for homicides.
The 435th killing was recorded Sunday night when a man was shot in the chest on the South Side. A total of six people were killed over the weekend and another 14 injured by gunfire.
Chicago police Supt. Garry McCarthy appeared live on NBC 5 News Today to discuss violence in the city. McCarthy called the numbers disappointing.
"You can't manage murder. One murder is too many, and if we ended the year with 400, that's 400 too many," McCarthy said. "Unfortunately we knew this time was coming. We got way behind at the beginning of the year, and unfortunately this is going to overshadow the progress that we're making."
McCarthy says those signs of progress include 5,500 individual recognizance bonds being denied to gang members in order to keep them in jail, 5,000 more gang members arrested this year than last year and more than 300 more gun seizures.
McCarthy says the month-to-month numbers are more encouraging, with October 2012 murders down 30 percent and shootings down 15 percent when compared to 2011.
McCarthy believes a requirement to report the loss or theft of a gun in Cook County will help stem the tide of illegal guns available to criminals.
Chicago Ties 2011 Mark for Homicides
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy says progress being made
With a couple of months still left to go in the year, Chicago has already managed to tie the 2011 mark for homicides.

Problem fixed, Agnitum released an update 2 hours ago.
Hi folks,
I was lumpy, I changed my ISP and of course I changed my email address in my profile.
Then I just had to forget my username and password to log in so I had to re-register.
Anyway, I know (I think) the answer to this question but I have to ask it.
I run Vista x64. PocoMail is my trusty email program, I will never replace it with something else.
I used Agnitum Outpost firewall since it was first released.
I installed vista x64. Then I installed all my programs.
All was OK untill I tried to send emails, they would not go, nor could I receive any. The Pocomail indicator was active in the sys tray though it did not stop. The email I tried to send was popped up and not sent. Then I could not get out on the 'net.
Then I tried disabling Outpost with no success.
Only when I un-installed it were my emails sent & received.
That is what happened, I could not fix it.
I contacted Agnitum who gave me things to try, no success there.
I spent 2 weeks trying this and that but only un-installing Outpost worked.
Could Pocomail cause that, I very much doubt it.
I got the Comodo free firewall and it works OK.
I've just been given a link to a new Outpost update by them, but it is for x32. Have to wait for the proper link.
any ideas,
~ Moved from PocoMail ... Eric ~

UPDATED ON: May 8th, 2015
My 2011 season actually began in the fall of 2010. As the beginning of the 2010 season was coming near I didn't have a place to hunt, so I was left scrambling for a piece of property. I searched the plot book in my county and made a shot in the dark phone call to a land owner who owns eighty five acres. I made contact with John the property owner and told him who I was and informed him I would be willing to possibly lease his property for hunting. John met me several hours later. He informed me that when he purchased the property several years prior he enrolled the property into the WRP (Wetland Reserve Program). John had a vision for his property, to provide a quality habitat for wildlife and to turn what was once ditch drained farm land into prime wildlife habitat. He had heard about the food plot craze and began asking me questions about them. John and I envisioned the same goals for his property, to provide the best quality habitat for all wildlife, everything from ducks, pheasants, deer, to song birds.
An agreement was made to assist John in wildlife management and habitat improvement; in return he would allow me hunting access to his property. After talking to John I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. I met a land owner who enjoys wildlife and understands the importance of habitat as much as I do. He asked when I planned on planting the food plots and start on the management of his property. I planned on waiting until the following spring. The reason I wait is so I am able to assess the property and learn what the wildlife is doing throughout the year and not just during hunting season. I also assess if the property possesses the main requirements needed for wildlife to utilize the surrounding habitat. Once an assessment is done then it is time to start establishing realistic goals and plans for your property.
We are all the first step to wildlife management
After hunting John's property last fall we made plans based on wildlife's needs for habitat improvement. (For ideas on how we assessed the property and designed these plans please read the blog Mapping Your Way to Success) John had previously built twelve ponds and provided each pond with nesting boxes and habitat for waterfowl and wetland wildlife. The remainder of the property consists of mostly marsh grass with small spots of higher ground and a five acres pine plantation. With the use of game cameras and wildlife observation made while hunting the property, it showed that majority of the deer and other animals would leave John's property during the winter months for the lack of food. This winter I composed a property portfolio with this springs plans for property management. We looked at possible planting locations of our plots. This spring I then did a soil sample of each of these locations and also researched the soil type to match it with what plants would grow best for the given plot locations. After gaining a conditional use permit from the USDA for planting on WRP enrolled property, we were ready to start improving habitat this spring.
We decided to dedicate one and a half acres to an upland food plot, primarily for birds however it will also be utilized by deer and other wildlife. Our upland plot would consist of sunflowers, dwarf sorghum, millet, and soybeans. The sunflowers, millet and sorghum will provide birds with plenty of seeds to feed on this fall, and the soybean will provide forage for deer late summer and early fall, and the sorghum provides a good food source late fall and early winter for deer.
The upland food plot designed to attract birds along with other wildlife
The next food plot would be a half acre along a two track access trail along the pine plantation. This plot would consist of clover and alfalfa. We wanted a crop that could handle mild foot and vehicle traffic since it was the location of a two track access road, we also wanted to provide a high quality forage during the spring and summer months.
The two track road that will be planted with clover
The last plot was going to be a half acre planted to the north west of the pine plantation. This plot is going to consist of winter peas and oats. We wanted to provide wildlife a good summer food source that would also provide quality forage into the fall. By planning ahead we devised a plan to provide the inhabitants on John's property a supplemental food source almost year round.
The pea and oat plot; the trees are left in the plot to provide additional cover
With summer quickly knocking on our door we needed to get going on establish our plots. However this year we were constantly battling a very wet spring. A good guide to know when to plant is to watch your local farmers. Farmers are professionals and they not only feed their family but America on the crops they grow. When I see farmers beginning to spray or plant I know I need to be doing the same.
The author preparing the seed bed of his food plot for planting
We applied two applications of spray to kill off and to assist in weed control on our plots. After spraying and waiting at least two weeks for the spray to take effect we began to break soil. Utilizing a friend's tractor with a rear tine tiller we prepped our seed bed. Once we had a good seed bed all prepped on the three plots and a soil sample of each plot done, I was joined by my brother Clint and good friend Bryce Kish. With our ATV's, spreaders, rollers and seed we began planting. After spreading all the seed for the given plots we followed up by dragging the seed to establish a good seed to soil contact using an old horse drawn spring harrow being pulled behind an ATV.
Bryce and Josh loading the drop seed spreader with the upland plot seed
Food plots can be as cheap or as expensive as you want, based upon what your plot size, goals, and equipment needed. You can also drop a lot of money in fertilizer and lime. The key is to establish realistic goals based on what you can afford and what equipment you have available. Also make sure that you plant the proper crops to your soil type. You will also want to think outside the box when planning your habitat improvement on your property, don't just think about planting food plots. You can also benefit wildlife by logging, thinning out around and fertilizing mast producing trees such as oaks and apple trees. Not only on this property did we plant food plots but we also trimmed around the oak trees that were already on the property to provide more sunlight to the trees and provide better growth.
Food plots can be planted with a limited amount of equipment
It is already the end of June and summer is here, the food plots are beginning to grow and we have already observed a higher amount of deer tracks and turkey sign utilizing the management that we have done this spring, the exciting part is that the plots are already seeing an increased amount of activity and they haven't reached their full potential yet. With game cameras on each of the food plots, a mineral site, and several mock scrapes, we will be able to monitor the wildlife activity and be able to monitor the change and the improvements of wildlife habitat throughout this summer and fall. Each month I will be posting updates of the plots so you too can watch our successes as much as our failures this year. We will also be able to show you any problems with weed control and solutions that we use to help with this common problem.
Even with smaller blocks of property you can improve the quality of wildlife
The goals of these blogs are to be able to show you that we don't own an elite thousand acres of prime hunting ground. Our properties are just like yours; gained through hard work and positive land owner interaction. We also want to show you what we are doing now for hunting this fall, and to provide you with ideas that you may be able to utilize on your own piece of hunting heaven.

Choosing a time frame for your adventure abroad may be one of the most difficult decisions of the entire process! Financial, academic, and cultural factors must be considered. The following information will hopefully ease this stress and outline the benefits (and some of the disadvantages) of studying during fall semester.
You can select a program depending on the type of experience you wish to have during your time abroad. Is more independence your style? Would you rather pay more up front and have everything organized for you? Do you want to go with your school peers or meet a bunch of other folks?
Here's a good starting point for you to jump off of when choosing a program:
Your University: Most universities offer abroad programs. This is beneficial because they are easily accessible, make sure you will have the right courses to stay on track, and will guarantee that credits transfer. You can expect to enjoy your classes and learning alongside people from your university, which is a neat bond to make for when you return to your home campus.
Third Party: If your home university does not coordinate with the country or university you are interested in, third party organizations are available to study abroad through. Many times your university will already have established partnerships with these organizations to ensure an ease of credit transfer. Other times, you may have to fight a little harder - but hey, if you've found THE PERFECT study abroad program, there's no sense in not trying hard to make it happen.
Subject Oriented: Do you have a specific goal you're hoping to achieve while studying abroad? Do you want to focus on foreign language learning, or prefer to combine service projects and learning? For students with particular aims, find a program that is less cookie-cutter. Sometimes these can be found through your university, third party providers, or through other universities. Get your Go Overseas search muscles a-workin'!
Be cognizant of the important things to consider before choosing your fall semester program.
Cost: Fall semester is cheaper than choosing a year abroad because you will have a shorter housing contract, fewer travels, and fewer flights (compared to those who choose to travel home during winter break).
Travel and Immersion: Fall semester offers plenty of travel time as you have weekend opportunities and fall (sometimes) & winter breaks. However, this does mean there is less immersion time, and you will have less time to explore your city/country if many surrounding areas also capture your interest. This also means you will interact less with the locals and more with students who are also studying abroad. It is important to research your travel interests before you go to optimize your time. Luckily, many programs allow you to extend your stay past fall semester, if you decide.
Courses: Fall semester offers you the chance to study abroad while not missing necessary classes that are only offered during spring semester. Also, if you are interested in home activities such as student government or sports, fall abroad will allow you to have both the home and abroad experiences.
Culture Shock: Every student will feel culture shock in one form or another. If being away from home is a particular problem for you, only spending a semester abroad will aid that issue. However, it should be noted that around the time you leave, you will most likely be entirely comfortable abroad, and then will have to endure the effects of reverse culture shock. The short term of fall will also allow a student who is questioning his ability to thrive in a city with a different language/culture to see how well he adapts. This will open doors for later return trips or serve as a good experience but not one to be repeated.
Cool Worldwide Events Happening During the Fall
Many famous festivals and cultural actives occur during fall semester. The following are a few highlights. Once you choose your country, find out which event interest you and make sure you are abroad during that time. Or, you may explore which events interest you, and choose a country/duration based on that.
- Early September - Ireland: The All-Ireland Hurling and Football Finals which "CNN has ranked the All-Ireland Hurling Final second on their '10 Sporting Events You Have to See Live' list calling it the 'fastest and oldest field game in the world.'"
- September - Malawi: The Lake of Stars, a two day art and cultural event to highlight Malawi culture and attract international attention
- End of September/Beginning of October - Germany: Oktoberfest, a festival paying tribute to Germany's rich and vibrant beer culture.
- End of October/Early November - India: Pushkar Camel Festival, a camel fair with music, markets, and camels. A great time to practice your bargaining skills!
- November 1 & 2 - Mexico: Día de los Muertos, a celebration of deceased family and friends. This holiday may have a dark side but it is a fun holiday to witness.
- End of November - Thailand: Monkey Buffet Festival, an event where tourists feed fruits and veggies to 2,000 monkeys! Yes, 2000! Sounds amazing, right?!
- December 8 - France: Festival of Lights, the entire city of Lyon is aglow as thousands of lights light up across the city. The rivers and reflections look especially beautiful at this time of year.
- December 25 - Australia: Enjoy an alternate to the stereotypical White Christmas as summer is in full swing. Eat cherries on the beach and dine on prawns (not to be confused with shrimp on the barbie, unfortunately).
- New Year's Eve - Brazil: Enjoy the best NYE party on the beach. Brazil has a rep as one of the wildest countries in the world. See why firsthand!
What better way to learn about a culture than to celebrate a favorite holiday with the locals!?

NursingStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Greg Rickford Conservative Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to honour one of my constituents, Judy Carroll, for 40 years of nursing service in Sioux Lookout.
Over the past 15 years, Judy focused her career on cancer care and treatment.
Starting out in Sioux Lookout's small satellite chemotherapy unit, she played a pivotal role in the direction, administration and coordination of expanded cancer care and treatment in the Sioux Lookout zone. Nurses like myself, working in the many remote communities that the Sioux Lookout zone serves, appreciated that patients sent to Sioux Lookout for cancer care and treatment would be well cared for by special nurses like Judy.
She was active in Canadian Cancer Society events and this year was thoughtfully recognized for her years of dedication to oncology services. Judy retired this past summer and she is greatly admired and respected by her patients, their families, her colleagues and communities across the Sioux Lookout zone.
I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating her nursing career. We extend best wishes to Judy on her retirement. She is another example of what is so great about the great riding of Kenora.
Community Organizations in Pierrefonds—DollardStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe NDP Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent a riding in which there is such a variety of community organizations. They provide services for seniors, educational services and recreational activities in low-income neighbourhoods. They fight poverty, work with homeless youth and protect the environment.
Congratulations to all those who give their time and energy and who help enrich community life in Pierrefonds—Dollard. I am thinking, for example, of the dedicated employees of Projet communautaire de Pierrefonds, who have not had a wage increase in 20 years. One employee even took a pay cut so that the organization could carry on with its mission.
I would also like to acknowledge the work of West Island Community Shares, which is organizing a walk on October 6 to launch its fundraising campaign. This year's goal is to raise $1 million for west island community organizations. Thank you in advance to all those who will donate or who will volunteer this year. I thank the activists who believe in the importance of the essential services provided by too-often underfunded organizations, such as those in my riding.
Mental Illness Awareness WeekStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bradley Trost Conservative Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, this is Mental Illness Awareness Week in Canada, a week to raise awareness about the challenges of mental illness and to celebrate the fact that recovery is possible.
Mental illness directly affects millions of Canadians. Indirectly it touches us all. Though many of us know someone with mental illness, the stigma associated with the words "mental illness" is strong and deep.
Perhaps some people are wary of those with mental illness because it is an illness that they do not understand. Breaking the stigma and ignorance is one of the purposes of Mental Illness Awareness Week for as we break the fear we diminish the stigma.
This is also a week to support friends and family who deal with the burden of mental illness every day. We must understand that, just as with cancer and diabetes, recovery is possible.
This is also a week to remember those who did not win their struggle with mental illness. We remember them for who they were and not for the illness that consumed them. In their memory, we must challenge the stigma and open our hearts to our fellow Canadians impacted by mental illness.

Scott Simms Liberal Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, in 1936 the Canadian Broadcasting Act replaced the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission with a crown corporation known as CBC/Radio-Canada.
For three-quarters of a century, the CBC has contributed to the nation's history by broadcasting the great stories and events of this country, both regionally and nationally. Whether it is news, sports, entertainment or content for children and youth, the CBC delivers stellar programming that reflects our national identity.
From This Hour has Seven Days to This Hour Has 22 Minutes, from coast to coast to coast we are proud of the CBC. On our eastern shore we watch The Republic of Doyle from beautiful St. John's. On our western shore we fondly remember The Beachcombers. In the north there is North of 60.
The CBC has been a great reflection of who we are and who we will continue to be.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, we congratulate the CBC on its 75th anniversary and thank it for the important role it plays today. We wish the CBC all the best in the next--

Agriculture and Agri-FoodStatements By Members

Daryl Kramp Conservative Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, autumn in Prince Edward—Hastings is a wonderful time of year. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular. I welcome one and all to our rolling farmland, pristine lakes and colourful hardwoods.
However, autumn is also a time of magnificent agricultural bounty thanks to the tremendous efforts of our farmers and their work and skill over the years. We can take a stroll through any of our farmers' markets and see many of the locally grown products of this fall harvest available, whether they be tomatoes, plump peaches, juicy apples, peppers or grapes.
William Pitt, first Earl of Chatham, once said:
Trade increases the wealth and glory of a country; but its real strength and stamina are to be looked for among the cultivators of the land.
On that note, I would like to thank all our farmers and producers for all they do and all they contribute. It is because of their tireless efforts that we are able to partake of such delicious and nutritious food.
Anyone who ate today should thank a farmer.
Aboriginal AffairsStatements By Members

Romeo Saganash NDP Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday Sisters in Spirit held vigils all across Canada including here on Parliament Hill. Thousands of people of all backgrounds gathered to honour the lives of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.
We in the aboriginal community have seen hundreds upon hundreds of our mothers, sisters, cousins, daughters and granddaughters fall victim to violence and disrespect. We must remember that these victims are not only ours, they are also the friends, neighbours, partners and co-workers of all Canadians.
As the duly elected legislators of this country, we must come together to end this scourge. We owe it to the 600 victims we remembered yesterday and their grieving families. We owe it to all the women and girls who have yet to fall victim. We owe it to people like our daughters.
As October is Women's History Month, we have a rare chance before us to act. We have a chance to change the course of history of Canada's aboriginal women. In that spirit, I call upon the government to call a full national inquiry to--

Royal Canadian NavyStatements By Members

Mark Strahl Conservative Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute commanding officer Jamie Tennant and the entire ship's company of the HMCS Montreal, the Halifax class frigate that has just returned from its Great Lakes deployment.
This annual event provides Canadians an opportunity to tour a navy vessel and discover career opportunities available with the Canadian Forces. I was pleased to sail with the Montreal at the beginning of the deployment as part of the Canadian Forces parliamentary program. I saw first-hand the skills and dedication necessary to keep a Canadian warship running. From the engine room, to the kitchen, to the bridge, each woman and man has a vitally important role and each does his or her job well.
My grandfather, Keith Bateman, served in the Royal Canadian Navy in the 1950s. I am pleased to be part of a Conservative government that has restored the "Royal" designation to Canada's navy.
From Halifax and Esquimalt to wherever we ask it to go, today's Royal Canadian Navy continues to do Canada proud.
Energy ResourcesStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bob Zimmer Conservative Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is with a great sense of gratitude that I rise today to thank the people of Prince George—Peace River, including my wife, kids and parents who are with us today, for entrusting me with the responsibility of representing their interests here in Ottawa.
To that end, local community and business leaders in my riding have made it clear that we must continue to promote oil and gas as a stable, secure and ethical source of energy.
Canada is fortunate to have an abundance of natural energy resources. In fact, energy represents roughly 7% of our gross domestic product and creates hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs across this country.
In resource-rich regions like northeastern B.C., our government continues to support an industry that is creating jobs and economic opportunity.
World Teachers' DayStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
François Choquette NDP Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, World Teachers' Day is held annually on October 5 to celebrate the essential role of teachers in providing quality education at all levels. In Canada, this year's theme for World Teachers' Day is "Teachers: Inspiring students, awakening potential".
There is more to teaching than simply transferring knowledge. You have to inspire the children, unleash their potential and give them a new way of looking at things. Teaching means helping students turn their dreams of a better world into reality.
I would like to encourage all the members of the House to demonstrate their appreciation for the wonderful work done by Canada's teachers.
Public SafetyStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Brent Rathgeber Conservative Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe. That is why our government urged the public safety committee to undertake a study of drugs in the prison system.
As we know, developing drug-free prisons was a key commitment that our government made to Canadians in the recent election.
However, not all seem to agree with this common-sense approach. In fact, at the invitation of the NDP member for Surrey North, the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies appeared at the committee yesterday to push its soft-on-criminals agenda. Among other outrageous comments, this group stated that strip-searching inmates to ensure that they are not smuggling illicit drugs or other contraband is a systematic "sexual assault by the state".
Not only is this a slap in the face to our correctional officers and legally dubious, it is absolutely insulting to those who have actually been victimized by a sexual predator.
I call on the NDP to finally stop putting the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of law-abiding Canadians.
Women's History MonthStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Françoise Boivin NDP Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, this year's Women's History Month recognizes the invaluable contributions made by women within our armed forces. Their sense of duty and tremendous courage are a true source of inspiration. Our country's social progress is linked to the battles and victories won by women over the past 144 years—women like Nancy Riche from Newfoundland and Labrador.
Even so, much remains to be done. Over the past two weeks, I have met with members of two aboriginal groups, Walk 4 Justice and Families of Sisters in Spirit, people who have been through the unthinkable. These people all have a daughter, mother, sister or cousin who was murdered. In their grief, they have joined forces in order to have their needs heard and to seek justice.
I encourage the government to meet with them, to listen to them and to support them, so that we can make history together by putting an end to violence against aboriginal women.
The EconomyStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Eve Adams Conservative Mississauga—Brampton South, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada is number one. We are the best country for job-creating investment. Forbes, the influential business magazine, just said so this week. Canada is leading the way as the best country to do business. Our Conservative government is focused on what matters to Canadians: creating jobs and promoting economic growth.
Forbes' ranking of Canada as the best place in the world for business to grow and create jobs is yet another example of our global economic leadership. It declared that Canada's economy has held up better than most, praising our low-tax plan for Canadian businesses.
However, Canada is not immune to the economic turbulence facing the global economy. That is why the Conservative government is working hard to implement the next phase of Canada's economic action plan and its job creating measures, like the hiring credit for small businesses.
The last thing Canada's families need now is the NDP's massive job-killing tax hikes that would cost jobs and hurt our economy.
Nova Scotia Aboriginal Male Athlete of the Year AwardStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Mark Eyking Liberal Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, I stand in the House today to recognize Aaron Floyd Prosper, a 15-year-old Mi'kmaq student from the community of Eskasoni First Nation and a recent recipient of the 2011 Nova Scotia Aboriginal Male Athlete of the Year Award.
Aaron is a grade 10 honours student at Chief Allison M. Bernard Memorial High School and is the son of Floyd and Dawna Prosper. He began playing hockey when he was just four years old with Eskasoni Minor Hockey Association and then he moved on to Cape Breton minor hockey.
Aaron has a passion for drumming and is asked to perform at many events. His presentation of "Making of the Mi'kmaw Drum" won awards here in Ottawa. In addition, Aaron has been competing in golf and kick-boxing tournaments and he plays the piano. He has also developed his own workshop called "Talent is Never Enough".
Aaron has brought great honour to his family, his friends and community. He is a true testament of hard work and focus, and he is an inspiration to us all.
Champlain BridgeStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Conservative Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, just a few hours ago, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities announced that our Conservative government is committed to building a new bridge over the St. Lawrence, thereby launching the replacement process.
This new bridge over the St. Lawrence is vital to the greater Montreal area and will benefit Canada as a whole. This is excellent news for the many workers from Montreal's south shore who cross the existing bridge every day and currently have to deal with considerable traffic. This is also excellent news for the regional economy: every year more than $20 billion in trade crosses that bridge.
The minister said that we will work with our partners and the private sector to ensure that the construction of the bridge is done at no additional cost to taxpayers. Again, as with so many other matters in Quebec, our Conservative government is getting things done.
Manitoba ElectionStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Pat Martin NDP Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, last night, the people of Manitoba made history. Not only did the NDP win its fourth consecutive majority government, we won more seats than any party in the province's history. The people of my province voted for leadership they can trust.
After 12 years of NDP, we boast the most affordable hydro rates in the country, the lowest unemployment rates in the country, the cheapest public car insurance in the country, and we have reduced the small business tax from 11% under the Conservatives to zero today. It is no wonder the good people of Manitoba voted to elect a strong, stable, majority social democratic government in the province of Manitoba.
The EnvironmentStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Brian Storseth Conservative Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to hear that Scott Vaughan, the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, recognized our Conservative government's world-class oil sands monitoring plan yesterday.
Before committee yesterday, Mr. Vaughan confirmed that our government had already acted on the concerns highlighted in his report.
Given the report covered a period ending in mid-2010, it preceded the government taking action with the oil sands advisory panel report, which Mr. Vaughan praised for its ambitious 90-day timetable, while noting that the government has already met that timetable.
This past July, we took the next step by announcing the integrated plan for oil sands monitoring, a real plan that focuses on air quality, biodiversity and water.
Our government is working to ensure Canadians have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe for generations to come. Unlike the NDP, which is willing to sacrifice Canadian jobs, our government will balance the need to protect Canada's environment with the need to protect Canadian jobs.
TaxationOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Libby Davies NDP Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' reckless policy of corporate tax cuts has helped gut our country's manufacturing sector. The Conservatives do not mind helping profitable oil companies and the big banks just love the handouts, but there has been no benefit for the manufacturing sector, and now we have lost hundreds of thousands of good jobs. Nowhere is this more evident than in Ontario, with even Mr. Hudak saying as much.
Will the Prime Minister wake up, see the evidence and cancel his next round of pointless corporate tax giveaways?
TaxationOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the government has been lowering taxes of all kinds for businesses, families and individuals. It is one of the reasons that Canada has a far better job creation record than most countries.
There are measures right now before the House of Commons to give specific tax allowances and specific tax breaks to the manufacturing sector. I would call on the NDP to support those and stop opposing good things for Canada's manufacturers.
TaxationOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Libby Davies NDP Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, those tax breaks to the big corporations are not working. The economic plan of the government is a failure. Jobs are not being created, pensions are not being protected and the stock markets are falling. This is a recipe for another Conservative recession and yet the Prime Minister is stubbornly ignoring the evidence and will not change his ways.
The fact is that two million Canadians are looking for jobs. Why are they not the priority instead of the big banks?
TaxationOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we are concerned about Canadians out of work, which is why job creation is our priority and why we have the results to show for it.
What I do not understand is that when we put job creation measures before the House, such as the new tax credit for new hires and incentives for manufacturers, why the NDP, which apparently has no economic ideas at all to propose, just simply stands in the way and votes against these things for Canadian families.
TaxationOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair NDP Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' industrial and fiscal policies have benefited the big oil companies and hurt manufacturing industries, especially in Ontario, where hundreds of thousands of jobs have been eliminated in this sector. The way in which the they are developing the oil sands, without including the environmental costs, has thrown our economy out of balance by artificially inflating the value of our dollar and hurting our exports. Workers in the manufacturing sector have been hit hard by the bad decisions of the Conservatives.
When will they restore the balance and put people back to work? That is a concrete suggestion.
TaxationOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, unemployment clearly remains a difficult problem, but this country's job creation record is better than that of many other countries because of this government's economic action plan. The House of Commons has before it proposals that would create jobs: a tax credit for new hires and tax reductions for businesses and manufacturers.
I do not understand why the NDP opposes these proposals, which will greatly assist our businesses and our families.

All photos are shared for educational and informational purposes only. Photos of
Patrick are the property of either the AHS or GSVS, as indicaed.
Patrick's Law is an animal advocacy movement founded in March 2011. It aims to raise
awareness for an end to animal abuse; pursue stronger animal welfare legislation
at the State and Federal levels; create a National Animal Abuser Registry; and expose
animal abuse worldwide.
The handsome boy to the right is Patrick. A human starved him to near death, put
his emaciated body in a plastic garbage bag, then threw him down the garbage chute
in a Newark (NJ) apartment building. On March 16, 2011, against all odds, a maintenance
man saw the bag moving and discovered Patrick was alive... barely. If Patrick hadn't
moved, even a little, he would've ended up in a pile of garbage. No one would have
known that he lived or died. And his abuser would never have been caught. Patrick
couldn't bark, cry or whimper, but he MOVED!
Did the man who found Patrick simply take him to the local shelter or a vet to be
euthanised? No! He brought him to Associated Humane Societies (AHS) in Newark. Did
that Vet look at Patrick and give up? No! They rushed him 40 miles South to the Garden
State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, NJ. Did the next Vet and Staff look
at Patrick and give up on him? No! They immediately began extraordinary measures
to save this brave dog's life. Morning came, and he made it through the night. It
was St. Patrick's Day, so they named him Patrick.
Since then, Patrick captured millions of hearts around the world, making him our
"Poster Puppy" for stronger animal abuse legislation. No animal deserves to be abused,
abandoned or neglected. It's time to encourage and pressure your elected officials
to support Patrick's Law, so all animal abuse will be treated as a felony with lengthy
prison terms and hefty fines imposed as punishment.
No one should rest until all animal abusers are in prison for their heinous and inexcusable
crimes against all animal companions. Will you volunteer to help with this historic
grassroots movement?
Patrick moved. Now it's time you do the same!
Such a sweet face with the pain
of betrayal written all over it...
yet on the long road to recovery
just a few weeks after he was found.

A more objective assessment of U.N. efficiency
Re: "U.N. shouldn't handle global-warming aid," Nov. 30 letter to the editor.
Letter-writer Franklin P. Frederick decries the "waste and inefficiency" of the United Nations. It's easy to cast brickbats, but let's consider some more objective assessments.
The RAND Corporation, not exactly a liberal think tank, issued a study in 2005 that looked at the U.N. peacekeeping efforts. The study commended the comparatively low cost structure, high success rate, and high degree of international legitimacy. Read more…

I'm especially excited about my 'Peppermint' Swiss Chard and 'Ruby Gem' lettuce from Renee's Garden. This lettuce is seriously on steroids! I'm almost ready to pick the leaves for baby greens, but will harden off the plants this weekend, moving them into the garden next week. The chard will also go in the garden next week, but I'm reserving some for large containers, as I saw at the Halifax Public Gardens did last year. They tucked the boldly coloured plants between more traditional container plants and it was electric!
Anyway, it's one of those 'two step back' days for spring.. cool, damp, rainy today, so it's a good day to seed a few more flats indoors - more 'Ruby Gem' as a succession crop!!
|Ruby Gem you are getting rather big!
|Peppermint swiss chard - gorgeous!
|Sungold tomatoes. I need to move my lights up a notch.
|My green cotton has germinated - great germination rate.

Mike Tindall has announced his retirement from professional rugby.
The 35-year-old, who helped England win the World Cup in 2003, has decided to hang up his boots after almost two decades in the game with Bath and Gloucester.
He said on his official Twitter feed: "After 17 years it's time to retire from rugby, I have been lucky to play with/against some great players, two great clubs and had some amazing times. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through my career!"
After 17 years It's time to retire from rugby,I have been lucky to play with/against some great players,Two great clubs and had some amazing— mike tindall (@miketindall13) July 15, 2014
Times. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through my career! #glawsfamily http://t.co/RQucclFUlF— mike tindall (@miketindall13) July 15, 2014
Today's announcement comes four days after Iain Balshaw confirmed his retirement after failing to recover from a knee injury, leaving Tindall as the only member of England's World Cup-winning squad still active.
However, Tindall has now also decided to call it a day.
The Otley-born back, who married the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips in 2011, started his career with Bath in 1997 and spent eight seasons at the Rec before moving to their West Country rivals Gloucester.
Tindall spent almost a decade at Kingsholm and became player-coach following the arrival of director of rugby Nigel Davies in 2012.
While he had not been offered a playing contract at the Cherry and Whites for next season, Tindall had the chance to become the club's full-time backs coach, but the sacking of Davies in May and subsequent appointment of Nick Walshe as backs and attack specialist left that proposal void.
Tindall played 75 matches for England.
Tindall, who is now set to work as a television pundit, added on www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk: "I could play two more years if I really wanted to but club rugby is a very special thing for me, it's what I love about the game.
"I had to ask myself if I wanted to go and play somewhere else.
"Can you get emotionally attached to another club? Because that is the pull of club rugby for me.
"I don't think you can. I always say 'never say never' but I wouldn't have thought I will be back.
"You have to face the big bad world sometime and now is the right time to do that."
He added: "If I was honest, I did enjoy the player/coach role but at the same time it would be too easy to chase a coaching role.
"As soon as Nigel left I knew it would be very difficult as my contract had run out and my coaching experience was limited.
"I was always fully aware what might end up happening and as soon as they signed (new director of rugby) David Humphreys I knew.
"But after 17 years in the game playing it's very easy to think you have to stay in that environment.
"But now what this has given me is an opportunity to have a year away from that and have a look at what else is out there.
"It's a little bit daunting going into something where I am out of my comfort zone but at the same time it is exciting."

GOLDEN STATE GHOSTS: What truly defines a ghost town, for a particular visitor, can run the ghosty gamut. Some people need a lot of historic facts to fill out their experience, and absolutely no apparent trace of the modern day. Others want more phantoms than past-talk, meaning the emphasis really is on "ghost" in ghost town. And many want a general mix of the two: Some dramatic tales from decades ago stirred with a pinch of fantasy, fable, and a few fright-packed stories for eerie measure. Our state delivers on all fronts, and you can have your straight-up history and your ghost tour nights, too. If you're looking for a little atmosphere this October, and some fine spots for photography, you might head for one of California's dozens of documented ghost towns. Those include...
BODIE: Not only is this one of our state's most celebrated and well-known ghost towns, it is an icon on the world stage. The Eastern Sierra-close clutch of 1800s buildings is often called "pristine" and with good reason: There is little to no evidence that time has marched on, and that's just the way that its state parks caretakers and its thousands of international fans like it. Even the dirt-gravel road to get in is properly tire-testing, preparing you for a trip back to the 1870s. And should you leave with any found souvenirs, just know that there is indeed a curse for that.
SILVER CITY GHOST TOWN: This Kern River Valley gem has a number of things in its corner. One? It's not too far from the big city of Los Angeles, meaning it is fairly easy to access (not quite the case with Bodie). Two? It's structures are properly Old-West-y, meaning a camera is in order. And three? Lantern tours are given on certain nights, especially during the spirited evenings of October. Want to hear tales of wraiths and such? Best follow this page, ghost-townie.
U.S. & World
CALICO GHOST TOWN: It's a neighbor to Barstow and famed as a place that Walter Knott of Knott's Berry Farm bought in the 1950s. Yep, there are places to buy t-shirts and candy and activities for kids -- it has some Knotts charm, for sure -- and there are spots to peek back into its silver-mining past, which was a biggin'. How biggin'? Some 500 mines operated back in the day and the ore finds zoomed into the millions of dollars.

About Charlotte Perriand (Designer)
A pioneer of modernism in France, Charlotte Perriand was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century design and architecture. In her long career, Perriand's aesthetic grammar constantly evolved, moving from the tubular steel furniture of the "Machine Age" to a lyrical naturalism.
Perriand's studies at the Ecole de L'Union Centrale de Arts Decoratifs left her enthralled by Le Corbusier and his vision of a new, rational architecture. In 1924, she joined his studio to design furniture along with Pierre Jeanneret, Corbu's partner and cousin. Together, they devised some of the finest examples of early modernist furniture, including two icons of the era: the "B306" chaise with its swooping frame and hide upholstery; and the chunky, steel-framed "Gran Confort" club chair. Collaborative design produced another Perriand triumph: in the early 1950s, she and Jean Prouvé were engaged to produce desks, worktables and bookcases for the University of Paris. The bookcases — slim pine shelves with brightly painted aluminum dividers — are minimalist masterpieces.
By the end of that decade, Perriand's aesthetic had changed completely from the earliest days of her career. She produced a series of furniture in ebonized wood: chairs with gentle S-curve legs, front and back; tables with elliptical tops. In the mid-1960s, she adopted an almost rustic look, designing simple chairs with dowel-cut frames and rush seats. Yet everything in Perriand's oeuvre is beautiful, whether it's the centerpiece of a décor or an accent. Charlotte Perriand's work is in every great design collection, public and private. Works on these pages will show you why.

A very clever Truro man goes into Argos and walks out with a £2000 TV because of a misprint and anyone can do this just by walking into any Argos and claiming their FREE TV for themselves.
Mr Smith was drinking one Friday afternoon in a pub in Truro when he noticed a young lad leave an Argos catalogue on his seat and walking out.
Mr Smith picked up the catalogue to have a browse and he noticed a special offer on the front where you can win a TV worth £2000 for FREE if you just follow the simple on page instructions.
He then read the wording and noticed that they had made a mistake and that he could walk into any local Argos and get a FREE TV over the counter.

Sometimes there's not enough room for you to drive around me. This is a good indication that you shouldn't try it. Really. Sometimes it's as simple as that. If it seems like it's gonna be too tight, just don't try.
Avoided being rundown by an M3 by dramatically extended my arm and pointing left and down. Looked like an ass, but I guess it worth it. In the future, I'd prefer not to have to ride down the yellow stripE because someone just needed to double park so badly.
Arlington was a mess today. There were lights out on Fairfax Drive and there was a disabled bus on Wilson at Pollard. There's not much more dangerous for a bicyclist than a series of stop lights out. You're pretty low priority in that situation and drivers are definitely not thinking, "oh, I should yield to that kindly cyclist." My advice is to find a car buddy and stick with him as best you can as you go through intersections. Also, make sure that your car buddy is going in the same direction as you are.
Some bikes that I saw:
|A purple Peugeot
|A Bike Friday with Carradice saddle bag.
Both of my calves somehow got covered in bike grime. I attribute this to the bad bike parking at the Harris Teeter. I choose not to attribute this to my continued lack of coordination and inability to go near my bike without brushing my legs against the oily parts.

Automation Package Lifts Laser Productivity
Best practices for laser cutting call for matching the right assist-gas nozzle diameter to the laser output power and assist-gas type and pressure, based on workpiece material type and thickness. Fail to do so and not only will cutting speed suffer, but—more importantly—so will cut quality and, ultimately, customer satisfaction. Typical nozzle diameters range from 0.8 to 3 mm.
Nozzle Diameter for Laser Cutting Mild and Stainless Steels
From "Facts About Laser Cutting," Linde AG
| Mild Steel--Oxygen Assist Gas
| Thickness (mm)
| Laser Power (W)
| Nozzle Dia. (mm)
|Stainless Steel--Nitrogen Assist Gas
"We cut a lot of material 1⁄4 in. and thicker," says engineering manager Noel Torres, explaining why, after careful consideration, the firm opted for CO2-laser-based cutting machines rather than fiber-laser-equipped machines.
"The two Trumpf cutting machines give us a competitive advantage as we look to grow our custom sheetmetal-fabrication business," Torres says. Custom fabrication represents about 20 percent of the firm's business, the remainder comprising fabrication and assembly of blowers and enclosures for the food and waste-processing industries, among others.
"Our strategic goal for the last several years," says Torres, "has been to grow our custom-fabrication business. That's why we've invested in more sophisticated fabrication equipment, including the two laser-cutting machines. They elevate our capabilities above many of the shops we're competing with."
Targeting Bigger Customers, Bigger Orders
"We typically process, in custom fabrication, a lot of really small orders," Torres says. "We're expecting that our expanded capacity with the new cutting machine will help attract larger orders from big OEM customers."
The TruLaser 3030 represents what Trumpf called, when introduced a few years ago, a "new design concept—one cutting head for all sheet thicknesses." The machine's technology package features lens and nozzle automation, designed to optimize laser-beam-on time and cut edge quality. The technology package's three key features: automatic nozzle changer, a beam-alignment unit and automatic lens-status inspection. Also helping to justify the new-laser purchase is Republic's ability to operate the machine unattended, thanks to Trumpf's LiftMaster automated load/unload system.
An Extra Hour of Cutting per Day
Nozzle size simply becomes one more process parameter in the cutting program downloaded to the machine control as part of a job number. "To cut the full range of material types and thicknesses, we use six different nozzle diameters," says Torres, "from 0.8 to 2.7 mm. The automated nozzle changer gets the job done in less than a minute, while manual nozzle changes take 5 min. or more. That feature alone provides about an hour of added production time every day."
"Inspecting and adjusting beam alignment can take 30 to 40 min. when done manually," Torres says, referring to the firm's 3-yr.-old cutting machine, which lacks automatic beam alignment. "If we performed that task multiple times per shift we'd never get any work done. So, we specify that our operators inspect and adjust beam alignment twice per shift, or every 4 hr. As a result, we have to deburr some parts coming off of the machine."With the new cutting machine and its automated beam-alignment feature, Torres notes a significant improvement in cut quality and a corresponding reduction in cut-edge deburring. "We find that the machine's alignment-inspection process very briefly interrupts production several times per shift, on average," he says, "as it detects and corrects for minor beam misalignment. Each interruption lasts for just 2 or 3 min., and the resulting improvement in edge quality easily makes up for the lost beam-on time." MF

Originally due some time this fall, Zipper Interactive's SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs is now penciled in for release some time next year. The developer confirmed today that it's delaying the PlayStation 3 game to give it some extra polish.
The developer writes on the official SOCOM site "While we're certainly aware that you've been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don't want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we're going to use our extra time to do just that."
The PlayStation Move supporting shooter will avoid confrontations with fall's other big shooters, which includes Medal of Honor, Call of Duty: Black Ops and the Xbox 360-only Halo: Reach.
