Fit Two, Page 16, Panel 2 … truly, my Snark, thou art still the son of morn in weary night's decline, the lost traveller's dream under the hill
"The fifth is ambition. It next will be right
To describe each particular batch:
Distinguishing those that have feathers, and bite,
And those that have whiskers, and scratch.
The Bellman continues his Indictment with the accusation of Ambition, tempered with the observation that all Snarks, like intestines or the Carolinas, are further divided into two parts*.
First, you have your biting Snarks, those goody-two-shoes who brush their teeth every night and limit their ambitions to lime jello with their salisbury steak dinner. Their purported bite is as gentle as the nibblements of curious goldfish upon a giggling baby's bum, a mere trifle. They are the auspicious Snarks, the best of Snarks, the heppiest of Snarks, no ill wind will ever ruffle these li'l ainjils' feathers.
Then there are those other scratching Snarks, addicted to back-room jobbery in used woolen underwear and race-track skullduggeries. They are Snarks fallen from grace, they loathe hairnets, electrolysis and the consumption of soup and cotton candy. We see an example of this latter Snark in the above illustration. He is lost in his own private pandemonium, shuffling to a distant armegeddon in his mismatched, postlapsarian slippers, forkéd tail and second-hand wings. He has been consumed entirely by the itch of Ambition, an old itch for an Old Scratch!
*An odd inconsistency which seems to have escaped most Snarkologists. The Bellman commences his Indictment by specifically stating that there are 5 Snarkian qualities The feathered-whiskered speciation that follows the 5th Indictment is obviously another distinct, yet unannounced 6th Indictment. In light of the Bellman's demonstrated inability to enunciate the number 6, might we conjecture that the number of this particular beast is 6? One's pursuers certainly cannot hunt what they cannot count, or so goes the Snark's reasoning. Using the Clochetic Rule-of-Three, we might even bandy about the number 666, a number of apocalyptic import which might well presage the lethal approach of the dreaded Boojum!

Fit Two, Page 16, Panel 1 … most of life's evils arise from man's inability to sit still in a bathing-machine
"The fourth is its fondness for bathing-machines,
Which it constantly carries about,
And believes that they add to the beauty of scenes —
A sentiment open to doubt.
Given : Only with one's bathing-machine can one bathe properly and thoroughly.
Given : The divinely-ordained, absolute and ineffable perfection of any place cannot be achieved without a bathing-machine.
Ergo : Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Not a surprising sentiment coming from the pen of an English clergyman's son but it is an accurate depiction of the Snark's true character and motives? Read on, MacDuff …
Given : The Snark's sentimental attachment to bathing-machines does nothing to improve the beauty of scenes.
Given : The Snark's sentiments are open to doubt.
Ergo : When in doubt, do nothing.
A Fabian approach to the hunting of Snarks but will the poilu tolerate it? History warns us otherwise! Je me souviens Cannae …
Given : The utility of a bathing-machine lies solely in its property of not allowing an observer to know what is inside it.
Given : The Snark's chief happiness is the transportation of its bathing-machine from one place to another.
Ergo : Ignorance is bliss.
And there you have it, another Clochetic validation of the platitudinous proverbs with which we usually stave off our lexical and cognitive horror vacui. I have illustrated all of the above palaver with another infamous platitude, one of the Comte de Lautrémont's most infamous bromides: the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing machine and an umbrella. I think the bathing machine lends a certain banality to the whole thing, don't you? Even surrealism (and especially protosurrealism) has its sentimental, even hackneyed picture-postcard moments!
NB. The Poetry Foundation was kind enough to ask me to illustrate an essay on the "World's Longest Poem". Thanks to the auspicious medium of the Internet, you will find that my illustration, the informative and witty essay and the genuinely long poem all form a seamless and truthful whole, a sphere of infinite circumference whose center is everywhere. You won't be disappointed!

Fit Two, Pages 14 and 15 as a Spread … Que voyez-vous? Une snarque. De quelle couleur est cette snarque? Snarque.
Frodo had his Mordor, Batman had his Gotham City, J. Alfred Prufrock had his Floors of Silent Seas and I have … pages 14 and 15. But we are too far removed into our Hunt to retreat now and it is this I fear, that the elusive prey we seek may yet prove the end of me!
For it seems that the appearance of the Snark is always deferred somehow, always lurking on the very next page after whichever one you are reading right now. And when you have finished reading the very last page of this Snark, then I, the artist, and the author Lewis Carroll and the entire Fellowship of the Snark itself, we will softly and simply vanish away, leaving behind only you, the reader. Safely alone at last on the final page, you will turn away from the text and images and see yourself as you truly are, having fulfilled your destructive destiny — as the annihilating Boojum!
Don't look so surprised, please, and no sudden movements, I've suspected you for some time now. It's quite simple if you think it through, dear reader, the only logical solution to the Snark's ever-retreating, ever-concealed identity is … you!
From whence come these paranoid thoughts? From a surfeit of the very blackest possible india ink? An overdose of Police Gazettes and Dr. Mabuse films? I know not … this snarkery is such a rum business, methinks I'll need a whiskey-priest soon enough!

Fit Two, Page 15, Panel 4 … belgium, man, belgium!
"The third is its slowness in taking a jest.
Should you happen to venture on one,
It will sigh like a thing that is deeply distressed:
And it always looks grave at a pun.
The story so far … the Snark stands accused of Bad Taste, Poor Timing and now — Humorlessness! The Bellman's Indictment of the Snark seems to have shifted to the tactics of an inebriated heckler pestering a talentless Las Vegas stand-up comedian, not a pleasant scene at all for our Snark!
Yes, the Bellman's caught our poor Snark doing his surrealist schtick in one of those postmodern, off-Strip venues and frankly, it hurts to watch him trying his luck with outdated material cribbed from old René Magritte routines … trying to to make the audience laugh by pulling their legs with his grave sort of puns … untranslatable from English to boot and his Belgian style of humor is so phlegmatic, one might even say flemish owing to his persistent coffin … but our Snark cracks wise one last time, that old protosurrealist chestnut about Madame Récamier owing Manet some Monet and when he comes to collect, she's such a dead-beat that she stiffs him.
Looking grave, eh? Feeling distressed? The Snark … it is you …

Fit Two, Page 15, Panel 3 … tiffin at breakfasties
"Its habit of getting up late you'll agree
That it carries too far, when I say
That it frequently breakfasts at five-o'clock tea,
And dines on the following day.
The Bellman continues his Exposition of the Snark with a second accusation — Sloth!* We illustrate his text with this shameless, paranoiac-critical crib of Salvador "Avida Dollars" Dali. Dali's paranoiac-critical method of picture-making (essentially a groovy sort of free-association delirium) is itself a shameless crib upon 20 centuries of artists lying on the sofa with their feet up and eyes shut in search of inspiration.
But beware the light of the Bellman's magic lantern! Beware the paranoiac-critical method — it's bad juju! Once you start using it, you can't stop — gateway surrealism I call it! Image generating out of image, a maelstrom of vivid mental pictures at the very speed of thought itself, free-association finally run amuck while perceptual reality as we know it disintegrates in a chain reaction of infinite visual meanings — until you're trapped, trapped in a causally frozen world in which one breakfasts at five-o'clock tea and literally thinks nothing of it!
We find our hapless Snark lost in this paranoiac-critical Ice Age (perhaps the evolutionary niche of the dreaded Boojum itself!), trapped in a world not of his own making! Within this glacial Lost World of the paranoiac-critical zone, it is only the persistence of memory which allows the Snark to find nourishment. Its primitive intellect swamped with the visual overload of everything-being-at-once, it will starve to death if it cannot remember to eat its supper, even if a day too late. It even carries on its person a railway watch (shown above) with which it plans its desperate, solitary meals.
And so … our Bellman confounds for Sloth what we now know to be Hunger! Come on, guv'nor, spare a kind thought for a 'ungry Snark, eh? He's not such a bad fellow after all … (cue orchestra) … for when a Snark's not engaged in his employment or maturing his felonious little plans, his capacity for innocent enjoyment is just as great as any honest man's. Take one consideration with another, the Snark's lot is not a happy one!
*It should be noted that the Bellman's sermon upon this sin of Sloth is amplified with instances of Gluttony which are thematically derived from the Snark's prior sin of Bad Taste. Whether the Bellman's general exposition is a catalog of Sins (Snarkian lapses from its ideal state of nonexistential perfection) or of Elements (qualifications of the Snark's non-qualifiable nonexistence) is for the more subtle reader to decide. The distinction is scholastic, and thus, genuinely protosurrealist. The final word on the sinful ontology of the Seven Deadly Elements might be Max Ernst's masterpiece, A Week of Kindness. Like The Hunting of the Snark, Max Ernst's personal composition upon this earth was finished before his decomposition, his birthday being this Wednesday, April 2nd and his deathday being April 1st. We tug on our ink-soaked forelocks in salute to Max Ernst, the Police Gazeteer of Surrealism!

text: Hi, my son recently had a ligament injury. It was very minor, so he continued playing football, end up in knee swelling. Now he is under rest, my neighbour is a nurse and he wanted him to take rest. And what bothers me now is he couldn't walk properly. we went to a nearby clinic, got a few medicines, but still, he has pain while running. Everyone is suggesting me too many clinics for further treatments. I'm just confused about everything. Anyone here has any suggestion regarding this???????

When I saw Falling Leaves Pattern Download from Cora's Quilts I fell in love. This would look so perfect in my living room this Fall. I used the 5 Fat Quarter option (which by the way gives you enough fabric for a scrappy back…BONUS!) I thought this would look great in Jenni Calo's new line Mix It Up!
These are the fabrics I used. The first 5 are the FQ for the leaves and pieced border, the Button Down Plaid – Brown for inside border and pieced border corners, and the Interwining Cheverons in Cream make the perfect background. I also used the Creaam in the pieced border to give just a bit more variety.
The runner went together very quickly and I am pleased with how it looks. I decided I wanted the runner to not have a true top and bottom so I turned two of the blocks the opposite way. The other thought I had was to applique the leaves on catawampus to give a blown affect.
I am still a newbie when it comes to finish quilting (which is why I have a ton of unfinished projects.) The benefit of working here at Connecting Threads is that I have people who do such beautiful quilting that I can consult with and get ideas from. They are also great teachers and fabulous mentors. I had already quilted by sewing the square inside the square, but from there I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do. So I brought it in and talked it over with Mari. I really like meandering and although I'm totally not very good at it, I am determined to become so. So, Mari and I came up with a plan so I can practice my meandering quilting, but in small easy-to-take doses. I am not going to show you the final results today, so I guess you will just have to stay tuned for my next post to see how I am getting along.
Since, it is not a done deal, I would love to hear how you would quilt this runner.

Just a little while ago, the utility gods smiled upon my house, renewing the electricity, telephone, and internet. Hurricane Irene provided many people an opportunity to examine our cultural commitment to the systems of technology we depend on. Clearly, some people got it worse than others. We were without our modern amenities for about 48 hours, long enough to regain a healthy appreciation, but not in a way that was actually dangerous.
Thinking back upon my family's little unplanned techno-vacation, it occurs to me that more things fell into the "Works Fine" category than the "Doesn't Work" category. There's also the "Works, but…" category of things that only require adjustments and workarounds. Having things stop functioning provides a great view into the systems that we depend on, how they work, how they fail, and what we can do to either prevent failure or deal with it when it comes our way.
While my wife is thrilled that the freezer full of food will not continue to go soft and squishy, I enjoyed the adventure of rigging the hot water heater to the 12 volt AC inverter in the car and making the shower run hot. I have also had a good time building the road-scored firewood pile that will heat the house on some cold days in the future. My daughter wasn't so fazed by it, just concerned that her phone's battery was getting charged each time we went off on some fools' errand like getting ice to keep our drinks cold.
I'd love you hear how you fared through the storm and what you've discovered about your systems. Please post in the comments. Here's a rundown of what worked and what didn't in my neck of the woods. :
Worked fine:
The house – It didn't blow over, get washed away, or otherwise vaporize. This may seem superficial, but there was a lot that worked within the house and its various systems. The design of the house easily withstood the wind and rain. We were safe inside, the windows kept the weather out, while letting light in during the day. We got plenty of ventilation through the various screens. We were able to lock the doors when we left, open them when we returned. The roof kept the water off, and the gutters and downspouts moved it away from the foundation.
The car – Before the storm, I filled the gas tank. It started each time, and the electrical system was extremely useful for charging electronics and powering other things. Good windshield wiper blades and tires were rather handy.
The stove and oven – This is a natural gas range with pilot lights. Its operation was 100 percent normal. It cooked food just like it was supposed to. Over at my parents' house, they were lighting the burners by hand because the electric igniters had no juice. My neighbors have an electric range, so they were heating the coffee water on the grill.
Utilities that come to the house underground
Running water – We had fresh potable water from every faucet with plenty of pressure. The toilets worked, the shower ran, but was cold. If we wanted to, we could have watered the lawn, but there's no sense encouraging the lawnmonster.
Natural gas – The stove and oven provided a batch of chocolate chip cookies, coffee, tea, toast, chicken parmesan and a toasted marshmallow or two. With some modifications, we even had hot showers.
Communications systems delivered over the air
Broadcast TV – It probably worked, but there didn't seem much interest in bringing power to animate that box. The digital TV signal converter runs on 5 volts, so that would have been the easy part. We used to have a 12 volt TV, but that died a while ago. If we really wanted to watch some centrally programmed video, we could have.
Cellphones – Coverage was either pretty good or spotty, depending on what provider and level of service. Voice and SMS seemed to work well on the two carriers we use. Data worked fine on one service, but was completely out for my phone for about six hours in several parts of town that normally have data service. Eventually, it returned and I got to catch up on email.
Radio – FM radio worked throughout the storm both in the car and on portable radio. We didn't try AM radio. There was one commercial radio announcer who said he was stranded at the station with no relief in sight and was expecting to be on the air for about 20 hours. It sounded like some of my college radio adventures.
The police and municipal radio systems appeared to be working properly each time I saw people depending on it.
Systems that depend on gravity, solar and other natural systems
Solar – The solar hot water heater is sitting in the yard warming up as I write.
Water – Municipal water systems get their pressure by having water stored at a high elevation, charging the system so it flows when we turn on the tap.
Things with batteries
LED flashlights and tea candles – There are a lot of things that run on LEDs these days. The older ones seem to need higher voltage than the newer ones.
Battery powered clocks – Does anybody plug clocks in anymore? Most of ours run on a single AA battery for each timepiece.
Hand cranked radio – We got a fair amount of use from a FreePlay radio that gets its' electricity source from a crank that tensions a spring which turns a dc motor acting as a generator as the spring unwinds. It's also got a solar panel, but that doesn't provide a whole lot of juice. After a decade or so of use, the thing still works surprisingly well.
Solar powered flashlight- Ours sits in the kitchen window waiting for its turn during times like these.
Didn't work:
Anything that plugs in to the wall outlets.
Anything that is hard wired to the house, especially utilities that run on poles down the street
We had lots of wind damage, and as the trees fell, they got all tangled up in the wires. The utility poles in my area carry electricity, telephone, cable TV and fiber optic lines. When you drop a big old tree across all these systems, they just don't work the same. Many people are now getting their telephone bundled with their cable and fiber, so there are now three ways to break the phone system.
Telephone and internet – Both of these failed after the storm passed. During the storm, the phone had dial tone and we could call out over an old school phone we keep for power outages. Eventually that stopped functioning, possibly because of the exhaustion of the battery backup that came with the service. Since there was no dial tone and they both come in over fiber optic, I figured the internet was also done for.
Cellphone chargers generally don't work if you can't plug them into a live outlet, but several of ours share the same USB port type. One of them only has a plug in charger, which we eventually plugged into the AC inverter in the car.
Laundry machines – These need a combination of electricity, natural gas and heated water. Some of that was available, but not enough to get the clothes clean. There was no trouble drying the towels in the sun, though. We don't generally do laundry every day anyway.
Keep the fridge closed! Refrigerators and freezers are basically insulated boxes with some cooling systems that run on electricity. Ours doesn't run on propane like some do, so we kept them closed. The shape of the appliance makes a difference. The fridge and freezer in the kitchen open on the front face. This allows the cold air inside to 'fall out' of the interior. While it's more convenient to get at the things you need, the interior will warm up faster as the cold falls out. The chest freezer in the basement opens on the top, so more of the cold stays in while you hunt for the thing you need. None of this matters much if the walls are not well insulated, though.
The dishwasher turned out to be a pretty good drying rack for the hand washed dishes washed in stove heated water.
The laptops run, but only as long as the batteries work, and only if what you want is on the hard drive. Unfortunately, the one that had the music on it also had the least battery life. The external hard drive I transferred the tunes to is powered by the USB port, so it didn't need to be plugged in to the wall.
While the shower ran just fine, cold showers are not exactly my cup of tea. There turned out to be two options for a hot shower. Proper planning and a sunny day is handy when using the solar shower. We've got one for camping, and it doesn't see much off vacation use. A full bag of water is just a little awkward to handle, so it's on a piece of plywood on the wheelbarrow. This lets you move it around to get the best sun. Hoisting it to the height you need for a stand up gravity fed shower requires either a bit of mechanical advantage like a block and tackle or a smooth approach to a retaining wall. The other option was much more entertaining, and required me to replace the AC inverter plug with a new one from the auto parts store. Those guys know how to survive a state of emergency, they even gave me cash back on my purchase.
Don't drive too far, because the gas stations need electricity to run the pumps and credit card machines. Most of the gas stations were out during and for a day or so after the storm. While I was fully loaded during the storm, after a bit of adventuring, it was time to fill up. The first station that I found had a line, and when I got my turn, the underground storage ran out as I managed to pump 3 1/2 gallons, plenty for my purposes. The next day, I was able to choose between stations and filled up easily.
The most reliable phone charger turned out to be in the car, so we charged while driving.
If the data on my phone had been more consistent, I would definitely have written this on the laptop while getting network access through my tethered phone.
Is that all there is to a disaster?
All in all, the power outage of the past couple of days provided a bit of entertainment and some perspective on which systems we need, and those we use without considering their impact. Generally, we don't get quite so many power outages as we seemed to have had when I was a kid. It was nice to see what worked and what didn't. There are many people around the world who don't have access to sparkling clean drinking water, safe and stable electricity, natural gas piped in, septic systems to take our waste and safe, secure structures to live in. It is also striking that a few dozen well placed falling trees managed to take out the electrical system for so many people in my town. There were a lot of things that could have stopped working that kept on going.

Scott KnowlesStatements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Tilly O'Neill-Gordon Conservative Miramichi, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to honour the life of a wonderful young man, Scott Knowles, who just recently lost his life in a very tragic accident.
Scott was a well-loved and respected man in the community of Miramichi. As a youth, he played sports and excelled at school, while at the same time dealing with a severe case of Crohn's disease. At one time he was forced to undergo four surgeries in nine days. While these types of odds would have stopped others, Scott persevered through it all. He then went on to follow in his dad's footsteps and became a pharmacist. Miramichiers were delighted to have him return to our community and work with his dad, Stan, in managing their businesses. He was a caring and excellent pharmacist. In his private life, he was always an active community member, a treasured friend and a devoted son.
Today our community mourns the loss of a great role model for our children and a leading man in our community. Stan, Jean, Tara and family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.
Canada Labour CodeStatements by Members
2:05 p.m.
John Rafferty NDP Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I will rise later today to table a bill that seeks to amend the Canada Labour Code.
As we all know, illness or injury can strike anyone at any time. This year alone, hundreds of thousands of hard-working Canadians will be struck with catastrophic illness or serious physical injuries that prevent them from making a contribution in the workplace and providing for them and their family.
They will need time off, in some cases a lot of time off, to recover, but today they have just 12 weeks to recover before they must be back on the clock or risk losing their jobs. For many, this will not be enough time, and the suffering will intensify.
The amendment proposed in the bill will extend the eligible period from 12 weeks to 52 weeks during which workers suffering from serious injury or illness are able to return to their job, without fear of losing their position.
If passed or adopted by the government, the bill will ensure that Canadians suffering from serious injury or illness have some peace of mind during their recovery period and will increase the likelihood that they will be able to rejoin the workforce in the same capacity and in the position that they held before they were forced to leave.
This is fair and right and I hope my colleagues would agree and support the legislation.
Bay of FundyStatements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Rob Moore Conservative Fundy Royal, NB
Mr. Speaker, the Bay of Fundy is a Canadian icon that boasts the highest tides in the world. It stretches 270 kilometres between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and is home to over 12 species of whales. It is also home to the world's oldest reptile fossils and Canada's oldest dinosaur remains.
I am proud to say that the Bay of Fundy is the only Canadian entry left in the New 7 Wonders of Nature competition. This global competition allows individuals to vote for their seven favourite wonders. At the end of the voting process, the seven entries that receive the highest number of votes will be named to the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
The contest deadline is November 11 of this year. I encourage all Canadians to vote for the Bay of Fundy at www.new7wonders.com and ensure that this Canadian icon gets the international recognition it deserves.
Days of AweStatements by Members

Bob Rae Liberal Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, tonight will mark the beginning of what are called the "Days of Awe" in the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, are observed by Jewish families around the world.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, I extent our best wishes to those observing these important days. For myself, I shall be spending time celebrating and reflecting with my own family.
May this be a year of sweetness and harmony, a year of peace and justice.

The EconomyStatements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Costas Menegakis Conservative Richmond Hill, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I rise in the House to offer my sincerest gratitude to the people of Richmond Hill, one of Canada's most diverse communities, nestled in the heart of the GTA. I am deeply humbled that the good people of Richmond Hill have given me their confidence to represent them here in Canada's Parliament.
Since being elected, I have spoken with many residents, businesses and volunteer organizations, listening to their concerns and conveying our government's resolve to work tirelessly to fulfill our promise to maintain a stable economy with a greater emphasis on Canadian families. With much conviction, we will strive to ensure that every citizen feels included and that the concerns of today are addressed so that they do not become the worries of tomorrow.
We know that the prosperity of our great nation as a whole depends upon its regional strengths and successes. Our strong, stable, national Conservative majority government will ensure the future prosperity of Canada, a country anyone would be proud to call home.
Salmon Restoration SocietyStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Randall Garrison NDP Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Juan de Fuca Salmon Restoration Society is a group of extremely dedicated volunteers working in the area from the Sooke Basin to the San Juan River in my riding. Twelve creeks and rivers stand to benefit from their work in rehabilitating and restoring the all-important salmon habitat.
The Salmon Restoration Society and wild salmon advocates like Alexandra Morton have been working hard to protect Pacific salmon habit so that local streams will once again produce the salmon that are so important for first nations, sport fishing, recreation and tourism.
The Salmon Restoration Society is a very successful partnership of community volunteers, small businesses, local government, Royal Roads University and the T'Sou-ke and Pacheedaht First Nations.
On September 25, the society opened its Charters Creek Salmon Habitat Restoration and Interpretive Centre.
I would like to congratulate the dedicated volunteers and also those who donated equipment and supplies in order to help restore salmon habitat on the west coast of Vancouver Island in my riding.
Unashamed: Journey to HopeStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Colin Mayes Conservative Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, at 7 p.m. next Tuesday, October 4 at the National Library and Archives on Wellington Street, the member for Kildonan—St. Paul and I, together with Samaritan's Purse, will be hosting a special screening of Listen UP TV's new documentary Unashamed: Journey to Hope.
The documentary is the story of Sara, from the heart of Addis Ababa, a young girl who was exploited, trafficked and robbed of her self-worth. The documentary tells of her journey out of darkness and back to dignity and hope as she experiences God's unconditional love and builds a new life for herself and her young daughter.
I invite all members to this event so that we all can be aware of our work ahead to help women who are being abused and exploited in Canada and abroad.
Rosh HashanahStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Mark Adler Conservative York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins tonight. Jewish families in York Centre and across Canada will be gathering to celebrate this important holiday, reflecting on our past and praying for a brighter future.
This is indeed a new year and a new era for relations between Canadians and the Jewish people. I thank the Prime Minister, the Minister of Immigration and the Minister of Foreign Affairs for standing with the Jewish community.
In combatting anti-Semitism, our government is leading the world. Canada refused to participate in the Durban II and III conferences. We have taken a principled stand against this growing form of anti-Semitism.
From standing up for a negotiated two-party resolution between Israel and Palestine, to announcing support of a three-year national task force on holocaust research, remembrance and education, to creating the communities at risk security fund to provide grants for synagogues and Jewish schools, to becoming the first country to sign the Ottawa protocol, our government has demonstrated unwavering support for Israel, the Jewish people and for human rights around the world.
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and sweet New Year.
Shana Tova.
Women of L'Anse-à-ValleauStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Philip Toone NDP Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to highlight the extraordinary work done by women in L'Anse-à-Valleau, in the Gaspé, who for 20 years have fought tirelessly for recognition of the important role played by Pointe-à-la-Renommée in Canada's maritime history.
Blandine and Priscilla Poirier, as well as Marianne Côté from the local development committee in L'Anse-à- Valleau, worked hard to finally get recognition for the creation of Canada's maritime telegraphy service.
Thanks to these women, the 1904 construction by Marconi himself of the first maritime radio station in North America at Pointe-à-la-Renommée was recognized as a national historic event by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
Thank you and congratulations to Blandine and Priscilla Poirier and to the entire local development team in L'Anse-à-Valleau.
Terry Fox National School Day RunStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Randy Kamp Conservative Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is the Terry Fox National School Day Run. On this day, school kids across Canada will honour the memory of Terry Fox by running to raise money for cancer research. Through their actions, they are demonstrating the power of Terry's legacy and proving that cancer can be beaten.
I am proud to note that through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, our government is funding $171 million for cancer research this year alone. This funding is supporting initiatives such as the Terry Fox new frontiers program in Canada, a partnership between the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Institute of Cancer Research. Thirteen million dollars has been invested in this program to support Canadian research programs in cancer that explore new frontiers in cure-oriented research, just as Terry Fox pushed through new frontiers.
It is with pride that I can say that our government's investment in research programs is helping us make headway in the fight against cancer. By investing in health research today, all Canadians will benefit tomorrow.
Status of WomenStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Djaouida Sellah NDP Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, 90 years ago, Canadian women obtained the right to vote. Close to 80 years ago, they were legally recognized as persons.
The last election marked another achievement: the NDP ran a record number of female candidates. Thanks to the support of the Canadian public, women make up 40% of the NDP caucus. I am very proud to have been a part of this historic moment. I am also very proud of these women, whom I admire and respect, and who elected me chair of the NDP's women's caucus. I thank them for their support.
The evolution of the status of women in the western world has created a domino effect that can still be seen today around the world. The fact that Saudi Arabian women obtained the right to vote in municipal elections shows that the path forged by Canadian women is still guiding the evolution of many societies.
We must continue on this path and not downplay the importance of our actions today for the future of billions of women around the world.
Agriculture and Agri-FoodStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Ed Komarnicki Conservative Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker, the government has been given a strong mandate by Canadians to deliver on our election promises. Earlier today, the agriculture minister welcomed the report of the industry working group on marketing freedom. The report included input from over 50 individuals or organizations representing virtually all aspects of the grain value chain.
Unlike the opposition's fearmongering, the industry experts confirmed that the sky would not fall in an open market but that the sky is the limit. The report will help the government fulfill our long-standing promise to allow western Canadian grain farmers to decide how they market their grain, whether that is individually or through a voluntary Canadian Wheat Board.
I ask that all members follow the leadership of the government and support our farmers. Regardless of how few votes it received in the west, the opposition should stop treating western Canadian grain farmers like second-class citizens and work with us to give farmers the right to choose how they market their grains. It is a right that farmers want and deserve.
Greater Vancouver Food Bank SocietyStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, I want to tell the House how a seed planted by passion can grow and spur corporate social responsibility. Today is the third annual Compassion into Action food bank fundraiser benefiting the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.
This event began in 2009, when Nature's Path Foods founder Arran Stephens was inspired after hearing the Dalai Lama speak in Vancouver. His family began Compassion into Action, which has raised more than $300,000 in the last two years. It is supported by local companies such as Vancity, Ethical Bean Coffee and Olympic Dairy. Together they have been able to help feed more than 12,000 families in need through the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.
I have supported this initiative from the beginning. Now I want to congratulate all of the businesses involved and the Stephens family for their investments in those less fortunate in our community. I hope for the day when we will no longer have a need for food banks.
The EconomyStatements by Members
September 28th, 2011 / 2:20 p.m.
Brad Butt Conservative Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government's top priority is the completion of the economic recovery. With a still fragile global economy, Canadians have given us a strong mandate to implement our low-tax plan to create jobs and economic growth. It is a plan that is working.
The Bank of Montreal deputy chief economist told the finance committee yesterday that "compared to policy-making in the rest of the world, Canada's economic policy-making has been exemplary".
While the NDP does what it can to oppose jobs and growth with still too many Canadians out of work, the government continues to remain focused on Canada's top priority.
People in my riding of Mississauga—Streetsville want to get back to work. The government is supporting their efforts with initiatives such as the hiring credit for small businesses. The government will continue to keep Canada on the right path.
Patriation of the ConstitutionStatements by Members
2:20 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair NDP Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, 30 years ago, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its decision on patriating the Constitution. This new Constitution brought positive changes, such as a charter of rights that puts peoples' individual rights before those of the state, yet Quebeckers, now recognized as a nation, are the only Canadians to have had this Constitution forced on them against their will.
The NDP is proposing a third option for reconciling the hopes of the Quebec nation with our place in Canada. Falling in between the perpetual refusal of the sovereignists who want a total breakup and the liberal conservatives who do not even want to try, the proposed NDP alternative for the future would recognize and protect Quebec's specificity, notably by preserving the proportion of Quebec's seats in the House of Commons and by protecting linguistic rights in federal workplaces in the province.
In a series of other measures, we will prove that we do not need to relive Meech Lake and Charlottetown to give the Quebec nation concrete and real recognition. That is how we will build the Canada of the future. That is the path set out by Jack Layton and the NDP.
LibyaStatements by Members
2:20 p.m.
Chris Alexander Conservative Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, this Monday, a crushing majority of members voted in favour of extending Canada's involvement in Libya. A total of 198 members stood in support, and their votes sent a clear message to the Libyan people: they can count on Canada during this post-Gadhafi transition.
At that time, the members of the official opposition refused to support the Libyan people, they refused to support the excellent work of the members of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Canadian Navy. They believe that the job is finished.
They are wrong. The job is not done and Canada does not cut and run. We do not shirk our responsibilities. We will continue to protect and promote Canadian values around the world. We will support the Libyan people as they build a brighter future for themselves.
The NDP members of this place should be ashamed of their vote on Monday. They are wrong on the issues and incoherent on foreign policy. The NDP proves yet again it is just not fit to govern.
The EconomyOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Hull—Aylmer Québec
Nycole Turmel NDPLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Prime Minister met with the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Canada.
Can the Prime Minister tell us what was discussed at that meeting and whether he now has an action plan to deal with the economic crisis?
The EconomyOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, as I have said repeatedly, we have an economic action plan. That is why we received a mandate from Canadians. Clearly, we are concerned about the developments in Europe and elsewhere, but at the same time, over 600,000 jobs have been created in Canada. That is one of the best records in the industrialized world. That is the path we will continue to take.
The EconomyOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Hull—Aylmer Québec
Nycole Turmel NDPLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, at the Standing Committee on Finance, economists said that the Prime Minister's fiscal approach is missing the mark. Doug Porter of BMO said that the Prime Minister's prescription for the economy, namely, more restraint, is the wrong approach.
The Prime Minister needs to realize this. He needs to realize that his economic strategy has created a structural deficit, the worst deficit in the history of the country. We are now facing a second recession under his watch.
Why does the Prime Minister insist on pursuing this course of action?
The EconomyOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, this question does not make sense. The hon. member is advocating that we increase the deficit. We want to reduce the deficit. The government's position is clear. We have a major deficit but it is still much smaller than that of other countries, and we will ensure that the budget is balanced while the economy continues to grow.
PovertyOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Hull—Aylmer Québec
Nycole Turmel NDPLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the National Council of Welfare said today that poverty costs Canada more than $24 billion a year, double what it would cost to lift every Canadian out of poverty. Tolerating poverty is bad economics.
The council calls for an investment approach toward poverty, for example, by investing in housing, early childhood education and aboriginal employment. Why not have a strategy to end poverty, save money and help the economy?
PovertyOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Calgary Southwest Alberta
Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, how we tackle poverty first and foremost is by ensuring the economy is growing, creating jobs, making investments in such things as housing and education, as well as providing tax breaks for people entering the workforce, as the Minister of Finance has done. These are things this government has done and is proud to have done. What is a mystery to everyone is why the NDP consistently votes against these policies.
G8 SummitOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is now 111 days since the Muskoka minister was put in the doghouse, and his handlers still cannot get their stories straight. They keep telling us that all the projects came in under budget, so let us talk about the Gravenhurst arena.
The minister personally intervened and moved it out of the Muskoka slush fund and said he would get the funding elsewhere. Now the documents show that this gave the three amigos--the mayor, the hotel manager and the minister--a much larger pot of goodies.
Will the minister explain why he personally intervened? Will he explain why this project is now the subject of a police investigation?
G8 SummitOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean Ontario
John Baird ConservativeMinister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the facts on this issue have not changed. This has been thoroughly aired.
I say to my friend opposite that of the 32 projects I approved under this initiative, not one involved an arena in Gravenhurst.

We must strengthen the moral commitment of our peoples, and the political commitment of our governments, to ensure that future generations can understand the causes of the Holocaust and reflect upon its consequences.
- Article 3 of the Stockholm Declaration
Delegates to the IHRA include many of the world's leading scholars in the history of the Holocaust, the events that led to it and its legacy. Heading each of IHRA's national delegations is a senior governmental representative, often from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Culture.
Twice a year, more than 300 experts and policymakers from over 40 countries come together to discuss and advance Holocaust-related issues of contemporary political importance. This unique format creates the opportunity for multiple types of valuable exchange: experts and governmental representatives have the opportunity to develop working relationships with their counterparts from their own country, and the opportunity to network with colleagues who hold similar roles around the world.
This interface between the expert and political levels means that IHRA is uniquely positioned to take the lead of issues related to the Holocaust in the political arena. We aim to make knowledge from the past visible and accessible to governments today through our working definitions and charters.

How the hell do you mix an RPG with a rhythm game? Iridium Studios' Jason Wishnov shows us how upcoming Xbox Live Indie Game Sequence works.
I've been looking forward to Iridium Studio's Sequence since I first heard about it earlier this year. I've also been a bit confused. How does dancing cast a spell? I mean, I know how real dancing can cast a spell, but how can dancing on a dance pad translate into a fireball, for instance, or a magic missile? Jason Wishnov breaks down the process in this video in a way so simple that nearly everyone could possibly understand it.
I'm still trying to figure out if I should use a dance pad or a guitar controller for this. If only they had implemented Kinect. I could Dance Central an orc to death without breaking a sweat.
Sequence hits the Xbox Live Indie Games marketplace later this month.

We check over 450 stores daily and we last saw this product for £395.00 at Sunspel.Go to Sunspel
Made in England from our vintage wool, our bomber jacket is a contemporary take on a sports heritage icon. Featuring a classic fit and full lining, this is a versatile wardrobe essential; the ideal piece for transitioning between seasons. Wear with a crisp white t-shirt and our new Japanese selvedge jeans for the ultimate weekend look. Our vintage wool – otherwise known as Q (for Quality) 12 – is spun specifically for us by an Italian mill steeped in years of heritage and expertise. It is a luxurious two-fold merino that was developed from an archive sample of Sunspel underwear. As it originates from a garment worn directly next to the skin, the fabric is supremely soft and comfortable. Although Sunspel played a pioneering role in the development of some of the earliest cotton underwear and t-shirts to ever be made, our occupation with wool pre-dates all of this. Woollen underwear was one of the earliest products to be made by Sunspel when Thomas A Hill founded it in 1860. In fact, despite the development of cotton undergarments and all of their obvious benefits, woollen underwear remained a mainstay of the business right up until the 1970s: a result of the English climate and some of our customer's apparent desire to live with windows that never closed and heating that never heated. While knitwear is typically made using the 'fully fashioned' construction process, we take a rather different approach with our vintage wool collection. Instead of knitting each pattern piece to shape, before knitting them all together at the seams, we use 'cut and sew'. This is the same technique that is used to make t-shirts and underwear and describes the process of cutting each pattern piece from a large square of knitted fabric, and then sewing them all together at the seams.

This is a downstream E-Blocks peripheral module, designed to be controlled by one of the upstream E-Blocks processing boards which are available in a variety of MCU/FPGA architectures.
This motor driver board allows you to connect and drive two motors independently in full-bridge configuration. Alternatively, the four terminals can be used as separate sink or source outputs.
The E-block uses the L6206 DMOS dual full-bridge driver IC which is designed for motor control applications, having isolated DMOS Power Transistors combined with CMOS and bipolar circuits on the same chip.
This board will operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems, and with motor power supplies from 8V to 30V. Each full-bridge driver can supply up to 5.6A output peak current, 2.8A RMS.
The board provides internal motor free-wheel diodes, over-current protection and thermal shutdown. Feedback is provided to indicate when protection or shutdown occurs.
Compared to the earlier EB022, this board provides a more efficient driver circuit for the motor output section of the MIAC, with significantly enhanced motor power.
E-Blocks can be put together to form a variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics, and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems.
Each E-Block has one or more 9-way D-type connectors that provide up to eight input/output lines and a ground line. These D-type connectors allow connection between E-Blocks to be made in buses of multiples of 8 lines, just like a real electronic system. Power is routed separately to those E-Blocks that need it.
Processing E-Blocks based on PIC, dsPIC, ARM or AVR microcontrollers, Altera FPGAs, Arduino or Raspberry Pi control the whole E-Blocks system. Processing E-Blocks provide up to five input/output ports with up to eight lines per port.
Please see the E-Blocks Category for a list of available components. For more details on E-Blocks, see the E-Blocks User Guide (in English, French, German and Spanish) or watch the Introduction to E-Blocks video.

Because it reveals so much about their character, I'm going to feature some of the comments made by conservatives after they were O-bombed last night.
First up is Ted Nugent, who said this spring that he would "either be dead or in jail this time next year," if Obama were elected in November. Well, it's gonna be a long winter for Ted:
"Subhuman varmint." Didn't Mittens go hunting for those once?
In any case, Ted obviously is a master of the English language and pithily captured for us the essence of Romney's "47%" speech:
Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters hav a president to destroy America
Obama destroying America—a constant theme before the election—seems to be a popular post-election favorite among celebrity conservatives, if you can still call born-gain Christian Victoria Jackson, of Saturday Night Live fame, a celebrity:
I hate it when they turn on their own, don't you? What would Jesus do after an election loss? I guess he'd be disgusted.
And who among us figured Donald Trump for a revolutionary buffoon? Not me, but:
Before any of you grab your Molotov cocktails and go huntin' for the Founding Father who thunk up the electoral college, you should know that Trump has deleted these comments from his Twitter account.
That was a short revolution!

This is the hilarious moment a footballer tried to pass the ball forward but managed to score an own goal – thanks to the high winds of storm Barney.
Thurrock FC defender Kamarl Duncan was near the halfway line during his side's game with Romford when he attempted to play the ball up-field.
But the gusts, which raged at up to 70mph, ruined his plan.
