Owning a lion in Ontario Canada
I now live in Ontario Canada and i would like to know which municipalities allow owning a lion?? I understand that there are municipalities in Ontario that have little to no rules.... And that you dont need a permit or license to own a lion??... Does anyone know what i would need to do to import a lion cub from the states? I have contacted a breeder in Ohio that has some cubs for sale and he is USDA licensed but he hasnt shipped any big cats to Canada so he is not sure on what i need to do on my end.....Do i need to contact the my ministry of Agriculture to get some paper work or how does it go??
p.s im really not on here to hear peoples opinions or their criticism im just looking for someone who can help answer my questions thanks.....

Why would you want to take a wild animal and force it into captivity regardless if it is captive bred?
I dont think you can legally own a lion anywhere here and your "breeder" of said lion should know the answers to your questions and really I think your best bet is to contact Ministry of Agriculture on this topic.
As for your municipalities that have little to no rules, you mean unorganized townships, however neighbours may raise a stink about a lion living next door and getting you in some major trouble with the ministry.

Call ministry of agriculture if you want actual facts. they will know, I didnt state any opinons at all.
If I was stating my opinions I would have said if you dont know the ins and outs of importing a lion and have to come to a public forum you probably shouldnt be importing one.

Yes you def stated your opinion please look back to the very first sentence you wrote in your first message......... i will definitely call the ministry of agriculture..... And i dont know the ins and outs of IMPORTING exotics to Ontario cause i have never had to import an exotic to Ontario before....... I bet if i was asking about what i would have to do to import a sport horse stallion from Europe for my breeding program you would be more then happy to give some advise and not criticize..... just cause i dont know anything about importing exotics doesnt mean i dont have the knowledge about owning one or caring for one...
p.s im really not on here to hear peoples opinions or their criticism im just looking for someone who can help answer my questions thanks.....
Sorry but you are barking up the wrong tree. From someone who works with and owns venomous reptiles and other deadly creatures, a lion is too much for me to even think about. I don't think there is anyone here who can specifically answer your question, because we don't know EXACTLY where you live.. because even if we know that you live in Ontario, it's really hard to track anything down beyond that because we would have to contact each individual town or whatever for you and specifically ask them, and being that not many sane people would want to own a lion then chances are it would be very hard to track down an answer.
In the states we have Fish and Wildlife for our states which govern each state. like in NJ I'm technically not supposed to own venomous reptiles anywhere within the state, but I purchased them in another state that allows them.. but at the same time it's not like owning a lion or anything! My exotics are confined to appropriately sized enclosures and the only danger they would be is to myself if I was dumb enough to do something I'm not supposed to, but a lion on the other hand is something completely different.
Also where I live counties, towns and townships can override whatever Fish and Wildlife has to add more restrictions.. like for instance, owning farm animals is not forbidden in the state of NJ obviously, but my towns zoning would not approve of me having a cow in my backyard.
Good luck on your quest, but I highly doubt anyone here will help you out even if they could.. I'm not entirely sure how things work in Canada but I could try calling your town clerk or something and see what they say.. there is also the matter of buying a lion from the US to be sent to Canada.. that is a GIANT mess right there. You better make sure all the paperwork is in order and that you know all the exotic importing rules and regulations and you have the proper health certificates because I can tell you right now that I've seen first hand the kind of trouble you can get in from not having proper papers with exotic animals.. My friend had her 2 pet prairie dogs confiscated from her by Fish and Wildlife and nearly got hit with a HUGE fine for having them...
So yeah, good luck and hopefully if you decide to go threw with this we don't see you on the news like that lady that had her face ripped off by a chimp =/

thanks.. Ya i know i will probably have to call each township to find out which one is ok with it ,i was just hoping someone on here already knew which townships are a go.. And yes venomous reptiles are nothing like a lion..lol...And yes i do have previous experience with dangerous animals....whether its a lion,venomous reptiles or an aggresive dog you need to be a responsible pet owner....Also i think your friend had a prob with the prairie dogs because they are native to north america and therefor are not aloud to be owned as pets here..... any ways i think your right about no one on here wanting to help me out even if they could cause i think people get worried or scared about big cats.... It has nothing to do with the whole its a wild animal and should be left in the wild..... because lets face it horses,dogs,cats, pet mice and rats all at one time were wild.....and of course reptiles they are even less domesticated then lions... lol .... this is something i am going to do for sure...... oh ya and i 2 also hope you dont see me on the news killed by my lion...lol
a private resident residing in Ontario is not permitted to own any wild life, not even a squirrel. Unless you have special licencing, by that it would mean having to take courses and apprentice with a "zoo" or a wildlife refuge. Look up "cougar in ottawa".....
You should contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency first to find out if there are any restrictions on bringing in a lion. Then I would contact the townships. No use going through all that research if you are not allowed to bring one into Canada.

It is against Ontario Provincial law to own a lion,tiger,bear,wolf,wolf-hybrid,,etc etc..at this point it no longer matters what any municipality says. Even having an apprenticeship with a zoo wouldn't help you at this point. You have to be a licenced zoo or animal attraction to be able to have any of the exotics in Ontario, so even if you got the cub past the boarder, it can still be taken from you and then it will be placed at " jungle cat world" on hwy 115.
I am just curious if you are aware of the work involved with raising an animal like a lion. the expense and the danger to both you and your neighbours. It takes decades to even come close to breeding them to any semblance of tame. Look at Siegfried and Roy,,,these men have an extreme amount of experience and education of the animals they deal with including the one that finally attacked. We're not talking about an animal you alone would be able to control if it chose to attack someone or yourself..Even with help look at the amount of damage done to Roy in a matter of seconds..I really do hope you reconsider obtaining an animal like this.
The other thing I was thinking of is getting liability insurance. Would there be any insurance companies that would insure you???

Aslan,*S* I meant that if you get your apprenticship (spelling?) and open a rescue/refuge like the one near Picton, its where we hid the cougar when the city was threatening to remove and euthanize it. this was a good 17-19 yrs ago? I imagine he's still going because there are so many..............people who buy these types of magestic animals thinking they can make them into pets.
Another point: Yes it is illegal to house any NATIVE wild animal, even a squirrel. Unless the OP has meant a mountain lion, not a African lion, he/she is free in many parts of Ontario to keep one. If the OP was truly knowledgable on the care and keeping of lions I can't help but wonder why an appeal to a pets board is made. Surely the OP is aware that few people keep lions as pets? I can think of several places to ask this question that would likely get better results.
Let me stress, please, I don't intend to cause controversy by contradiciting a respected member and I beg forgiveness if I have done so. In that case I ask once again for corroboration. I do believe this is a serious topic. We need to address it by knowing the facts. Miss-stating them does not help.
Below is the Bill, Bill 125, propsed to make illegal the keeping of exotics as pets. It has passed first reading but has yet to pass second and third readings and then has to receive Royal Assent. It is NOT law yet.
Please if you wish to take action on this topic, contact your MPP and let him/her know. WE need to make sure this bill goes all the way through. the next link is a place you can file to help make this happen.
I want to add, just in case the website linked to the bill is out of date I have contacted my MPP and asked for a call back on the timeline of this bill. I will post back when they call me.
ETA: To lighten it up a little, I have a great story about a cougar that was removed from private premises some years ago. I think I will make a separate post for your entertainment.
ETA: My MPP's office just called back and this bill has only passed first reading. There may be an election and if that happens there is serious danger this bill could die and never reach second reading. There is quite a way to go yet on this. Please, get active and let people know you support Bill 125.
ETA: Here's my cougar story thread. http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread....191#post993191

Longblades, I just read that article and I do remember that story. It may even have been posted on pets.
It is interesting that here in Ontario, you can own a large wild cat but not a pitbull .

Let me know if and when you do get this lion. I'll be watching out for a story about someone getting mailed by a "pet" lion.
There are only two rules at my house: House rule #1. Cats rule. House rule #2. See rule #1.
Anyways, good luck with your quest OP.. I'm into exotics too but not quite to this extent!

Longblades i do stand corrected,,i got my information from Mark Grimes office,,when i called back with your info the answer i got was" OOOOOH i thought you meant Toronto"....of course i meant Toronto that's why i said Ontario...so basically i can't own a Lion but 14+ can if her municipality says so.

yes, I was corrected lionking *S* and I thank them for correcting me
lionking,,just out of curiosity,,why do you want to own a lion? I do understand and totally agree they are beautiful animals. lol,,and i did discover many years ago right after playing with a young tiger cub that hmmmm yup they're cats and also affect ones allergies to cats. I'm not trying to be confrontational i really am curious.

I know you did not want any negativity,but IMO nobody in Ontario should own a Lion,they belong as wild animals in their own habitat.
They are beautiful creatures,majestic and wild and should remain so..

ok...so why would you come to a "pet" website looking for help and as you stated...they don't know what they are talking about when they start typing".
We know a lot about pets...and as chico says they are not pets..they are beautiful creatures, majestic and wild and should remain so.
I am sure there is a government agency that can clarify all your questions, and avoid any disappointments if you are give the wrong answers.
Best of luck in finding the right answers.

Lionking, I know you said you don't want to hear anyone's opinions on this rather hot-button topic, but I really think you would benefit from some gentle education if you're willing to listen. And providing you aren't a troll, which is always possible.
For starters, breeders of big cats are a sleazy bunch and do not have the best interests of the cats in mind. Doesn't matter if they have a USDA license. So do puppy millers, and we all know what a wonderful industry that is. There is no such thing as responsible breeding of big cats unless done by an accredited zoo using thorough genetic profiling (and some would argue even that has questionable merrit). A backyard lion breeder in Ohio is only concerned about making money, not about the health and welfare of the cats. Do you really want to support this dubious industry, perpetuating inferior breeding and the overpopulation of captive exotic animals?
Obviously I have no idea what your motivation is for wanting to keep a lion in the first place. If it's because you love them so much, perhaps a better avenue for your passion would be to help out in the rapidly growing field of big cat rescue (largely populated by animals surrendered or confisicated from owners who got in way over their head). As for your own knowledge of lions in captivity, if you truly are as experienced as you imply, all the more reason to channel your skills into helping lions, not hurting them.

Q: What are those tiny red worms in my filter?
Jose – Highland Park, IL
A: They're tiny, they're wriggly, and they're blood-red – or at least a creamy pink color. What are they? They're non-biting midge fly larvae, also known as bloodworms. Though they're an unsettling infestation to see in your filter, they're actually harmless to your fish.
Know Your Chironomidae
Midge flies hail from the family Chironomidae, which includes more than 10,000 different species worldwide. Some varieties appear bright red in color thanks to a hemoglobin-type substance that helps them live with oxygen-depleted water, giving them their "bloodworm" nickname.
As adults, midge flies resemble mosquitoes, but they have fluffy antennae and no blood-sucking proboscis. Large numbers of them can be a nuisance as their droppings can cause damage to paint, brick and other surfaces. And when their tiny corpses pile up, they can cause a stink.
Home Sweet Home
These insects thrive in freshwater aquatic and semi-aquatic environments. In their larval stages, they live in tree holes, bromeliads, rotting vegetation, soil and artificial containers – including filtration systems, infesting media pads. They spend their time attached to the container's solid surface and taking in tasty food as it floats by.
Midge flies lay their eggs in water, preferring it to be still, clear, dark and safe from critters like fish and frogs that nosh on the larvae when they emerge. To protect themselves, the bloodworms actually create and live in tiny half-inch tubes they build from mud, algae and other naturally occurring resources. Look closely in your filter, and you'll probably see some of these worm-sized mud huts.
A Tasty Fish Treat
Don't worry: These little guys won't harm your pond or your fish. In fact, if one wriggles its way into your pond, it will be a welcome treat for your fish! Goldfish and other smaller fish will gobble them and their little mud homes; koi and other larger fish will treat them as tasty hors d'oeuvres.
Bloodworms are quite nutritious for fish. In fact, the insects are about 55 percent protein – which is a key nutrient fishes need to grow, reproduce and maintain their health. So rather than balk at the tiny worms, scoop them out of your filter and give them to your pond dwellers. They'll thank you for them!

I have been getting into drawing tribal art again lately and because of this I was tempted to make a design that I have never done before. After raking my brain for an awesome idea, I finally came up with "how to draw a tribal angel", step by step. How awesome is it going to be making an angel in tribal form? Now because I know angels are supposed to be beautiful and intriguing, I wanted to come up with a design that is totally cool and very doable for a real inking job. I chose to go with a back view of an angel because that way, you are getting some awesome tribal wings inked as well as the figure or silhouette of an angel's body. The subtle lining and contours of the body's curves make a simple concept into a complex figure. I really hope you enjoy this tutorial on drawing a tribal angel because it took me a while to figure out how I was going to pull this idea off. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment, or you can fav and rate. I will be back once again so stay tuned in you wonderful people or the artistic community.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

This is the search screen--in the old search.
Here is the result:
Exactly what I was expecting to find.
I've tried to use the "new search" (the one that comes up by default) as the advantages of it are constantly being touted by Ancestry.com and quite a few professionals.
However, this is not the first time that the old search has worked exactly the way I thought it should when the new search did not.
The old search gives the researcher control--and without the "dropdown" list of places that has been a continual thorn in my side due to missing locations.
And I like control and things that work they way they are supposed to.
The instructions for toggling back and forth are copied from my Search Tip of the Day blog.
Toggling Between New and Old Search at Ancestry.com
There are still times when the "old search" at Ancestry.com is preferable to the "new search" at Ancestry.com. Do you know how to go back and forth between the two?
On the main Ancestry.com home page, slide your mouse to the word "Search" on the upper left hand portion of your window. When you do that you should see a menu come up--click on "Search all Records."
Then in the upper right part of that page you should see a small link that says "go to old/new search." Clicking on that link will take you to the "other" search form.

From the rogatory interview of Fiona Payne:
'No, and that was the other thing, she kept going into the twins, she kept putting her hands on the twins to check they were breathing, she was very much concerned in checking that they were okay. But they were okay, I mean, they were fine, they didn't, they were asleep, but at the time it did seem weird, I remember thinking, you know, when the Police came they turned the lights on, there was loads of noise, obviously from the moment Kate discovered that Madeleine was gone, the screaming and the shouting and there was a lot of noise and they, they didn't, you know, so much as blink'.
From the rogatory interview of Dianne Webster:
What did I see? Well Kate and Gerry, Gerry was absolutely, absolutely distraught, absolute, you know, I mean I've never heard a man make the noises he made, err and Kate, Kate was just err you can't, you just can't put into words how they were I mean they were just, I remember I went through into the room where err where Madeleine was sleeping and err and she said you know, somebody, you know, she's been taken because she said that the shutters and that had been open, the window open. Err the twins were still asleep in the cot and I, with all the noise going on I don't know how they slept through it which makes me think there was, they must have been err drugged with something."
From the statement of Silvia Batista:
At a certain time, after the arrival of the PJ elements, the parents removed the twins from the beds in which they were still sleeping and took them to the first floor flat.
From a report by Chief Inspector Tavares de Almeida to the Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation:
Let's see: the media forwarded the hypothesis that the children could have been sedated to be kept asleep and allow some rest to the parents.
Distant in time Kate's father, the grandfather of the minor, Brian Healy, admits to the press that Kate could have administered some medication to the little girl, Calpol, to help the child (children'') to sleep, contrary to what his daughter Kate had stated.
Kate, through the PJ inspector that acted as 'liaison' with the family asked why samples weren't taken from the twins in order to test that hypothesis. She knew well enough at that time, more than 3 months later, that such exam would be inviable.
She went further and said that we ' the investigation ' should verify that the kidnapper had sedated Madeleine, to accomplish the action and he had also sedated the twins 'to consummate the act' however she didn't say that at the right moment.
From Service information from Ricardo Paiva to Goncalo Amaralom Ricardo Paivafrom Ricardo Paiva
Strangely, Kate also made several requests, three months after the disappearance of Madeleine, that the police should take blood, hair and nail tests of Madeleine's twin siblings, because, as she said, she remembered that on the day of Madeleine's disappearance, in spite of all the commotion and noise made by the authorities and other persons who were looking for Madeleine in apartment 5A of the OC, the twins never woke up, having been transported to another apartment, they remained asleep, due to which she now presumes that they were under the effect of some sedative drug that a presumed abductor had administered to the three children in order to be able to abduct Madeleine, a situation which Kate refers to being possible according to what she read in a criminal investigation manual given to her by the British authorities, that would have been the procedure of the abductor in the real case involving abduction, rape and murder of the girl.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the above we can be pretty certain that the twins had been sedated that night. Police, staff, friends and even the McCanns got this impression.
The question is who sedated them and why.
A burglar entering the apartment looking for valuables and getting disturbed by three toddlers would not have the means nor the time to sedate three children only to leave without any valuables. A completely implausible theory.
An abductor who had specifically chosen to take Madeleine and not her siblings, which in itself seems to be illogical, might have sedated her to keep her quiet for the duration of the abduction but why take the risk and time to sedate the twins as well? All in a short timeframe with the risk of the parents entering any time for checks. A possible but rather implausible theory. Even if Kate McCann found this theory in some manual given to her by British authorities.
The other theory, which the Portuguese police have followed, is that it was the parents who had sedated all three children every night in order to be able to dine at the tapas restaurant without interruption.
Given their professions as doctors and the general impression of well cared for children plus the fact that at least Madeleine was awake and crying for more than an hour on Tuesday night, according to the statement by their neighbour Mrs. Fenn, this, at least to me, seems implausible as well.
Especially the twins, who had been at the creche all day without sleeping in the afternoon at just over 2 years of age, would not have needed any sedation to fall asleep properly at night after baths. Even IF Madeleine had been given something to sleep after Tuesday night, I doubt this was the case for the twins.
Which leads us to the fourth reason why they might have been sedated that Thursday night. It might have been essential to avoid them waking up during that night because it was already anticipated that this night would be different and that they were spared the possible sighting the Smith family encountered later that night.
Four theories regarding sedation....

MG Siegler of TechCrunch, who has also given up email, writes and opines about Gmail's crowdsourced plea to help make keep email relevant by creating Gmail+ in Google Already At Work On Several Gmail/Google+ Integrations.
Google+ is not quite two weeks old. I quit doing email just about six weeks ago. I did give a one month warning back on May 1 (and on this blog on May 3).
I'll admit that giving up email seemed radical, like putting myself at risk of some kind. But I know enough about myself that if I don't take myself out of my comfort areas, I don't learn very much and more importantly I don't see the things that suddenly become obvious. I had spent too much of my life convincing people that email could improve their lives — and relative to phone calls, memos and the like, email has improved our communications environment.
But more and more the juryrigged nature of email showed it cracking up and not just at the edges. Improvements in collaboration technologies for scheduling meetings (shared calendars and Doodle), for coauthoring documents (Gdocs, MindTouch, various wikis, and even Sharepoint), for sharing pictures and videos (Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, etc), for transferring files and doing backups (Dropbox, Box.com, etc), for managing the sharing of casual information in social networks (various activity streams) including location (4Square and various check-in providing relatives) left email in the dust. Even trouble ticket reporting via email is dead, replaced by services like GetSatisfaction.
Attempts to curb email abuse by social contract (like Chris Anderson's Email Charter) or by technology (like the currently hot ShortMail) are mere patchwork and are doomed from the start.
It's not just that email is time sink. It's no that over half of the email any of us receive is spam. Filters or no. It's not that I can't create a filter for every site that wants to confirm who I am. It's not that listservs get too busy — but I may need to read them sooner of later — and that RSS could bail me out of a lot of that problem.
It's that our world of communications interactions has gotten very rich, very sophisticated, very active and very faceted. Email can't keep up and we can't keep up with email. As Michael Tiemann observed: email as a enterprise service bus that connects many applications via a common messaging format into a central processing unit. That CPU is YOU and was ME.
Technical developments like JSON and HTML5 have provided the technology underpinnings to help us restructure our approaches to activity streams and communications options in ways that allow us to be social and somewhat private as we desire.
I'm not the only one thinking this. Last summer, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg described some of the same problems and offered some of the solutions that we are beginning to see coming at us.
Sandberg noted, I have here, and Pew Internet studies report that under 25s have already given up on email. In fact, the email sticky demographic is pretty narrow. From my sample, completely observational, since May, that demographic is largely those 50 – 65 and systems administrators in institutions (as opposed to enterprises). The same demographic, at least the age one, resist online social networking according to another Pew Internet study.
My sysadmin/poweruser friends like to tell me on one hand that email is secure and on the other that no one can own their email. These are contradictory claims that don't click. The more hands an email passes through on it's way to you, the less secure. The only way to deal with a broad set of communications agents is to send very open messaging protocols across many different environments, few of which you or even people you trust control. Email is about as secure as a post card left at Starbuck's by the sugar.
Things that are thankfully not email have taken on emailish names but they are no more email that a locomotive is an iron horse (or more recently a Harley) or a car, a horseless carriage. And we are all better for that too.
Horses, mainframes, and very tall hats all have their times of glory. No more. I see the same for email as you now know it. Its already at the edge of the dustbin of history; soon it will be like photo magazines and radio theatre seen as a curiosity or in revivals.
Yes #noemail is possible even practical. As Luis Suarez (four years without email at IBM) reminds me living in a world without email #lawwe can be done and can be fun.
One note to help bring insome other posts here in the #noemail category: Google Plus has begun to address many of the problems that I've been describing here. Hence a lot of posts here as Google Plus emerges and changes and as we all come to an understanding of how to help form its future. I fully expect that something more awesome than a simple partnership with Skype will be coming from Facebook soon. And I can't believe that there will be only two players, Google and Facebook, fighting this out.

After several months of excessive noise due to the previously mentioned cracked exhaust manifold, my 1997 318is sedan is now fixed and quiet again.

It has been a while since I posted any updates about either of my 318is', so here's a bit of a summary on what has being going on with them.

We have been having problems starting our 1997 BMW 318is.

I am a bit of a 3 series fanatic, having owned a couple of E30s and a few E36s, plus a few parts cars. I like the combination of the compact size, good performance and handling, and that they are more sports sedan than an impractical and extrovert sports car.

Local Sales/Use Tax Interest Distribution
While the Department of Revenue is not required to distribute interest earned in the local sales and use tax account every six months, it has been the practice to distribute the interest earned to political subdivisions in February and August each year. The service fees received by the bank are paid through the interest accumulated in the local sales tax account. Unfortunately, those fees continue to be greater than the interest earned. As a result, there is no interest from the account to distribute to political subdivisions. Although the service fees have been greater than the interest earned, this does not impact the principle amount in the account. The bank's fees cannot exceed the interest earned in the account.
Any political subdivision with questions, can contact the Missouri Department of Revenue, Local Tax Unit at 573-751-4876 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The living room is a place for comfort and leisure. It's a place to relax and entertain family and guests, and in modern homes it's typically furnished with comfortable furniture and a number of electronics, including televisions, DVD players, cable TV boxes, sound systems and gaming consoles. Blending today's electronics with style and comfort to get the perfect living room for your home takes a little creativity and some interior design finesse. When arranging your living room, most people think of the typical configuration of a TV in front of the couch and chairs. But consider the way people move through the house and how they enter and exit the living room before placing your items.
Use your living room to make a design statement. If you're drawn to clean, modern lines, use minimal furnishings and lighting. If you have a limited budget, make a statement with one item such as an unusual cocktail table. Olivia Rassow of Elle Decor says the cocktail table can be the most important piece in the living room. For the ultimate in natural lighting, consider replacing your old, outdated and dingy windows with fresh replacement windows. Large picture windows compliment living areas wonderfully and shaped windows can add a stunning architectural focal point to your home.

Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, appearing Sunday on all five major news shows fresh off a victory in the Iowa GOP straw poll, repeatedly characterized herself as a "fighter" and defender of antitax and small-government principles in Washington.
Her self-portrayal is meant to counter suggestions that she has a slight record of accomplishment after 4-1/2 years as a US House member. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who dropped out of the GOP presidential race Sunday, had suggested as much leading up to the straw poll, emphasizing his own experience as a chief executive – a credential shared by candidates Rick Perry, governor of Texas, and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, who are both very prominently still in the hunt.
Congresswoman Bachmann cited her position at "the tip of the spear" in conservatives' fight against raising the national debt ceiling, President Obama's health-care reform law, and legislation to regulate the banking industry in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Though all were losing battles for her and her tea party allies, Bachmann said her determination to "fight the fights" and to stick with her principles are what qualify her to be president – not whether she has ever served as a governor.
"Ronald Reagan was a governor. But what made Ronald Reagan great wasn't his governing experience as a governor. It was his core set of principles," Bachmann said on ABC News' "This Week." "Jimmy Carter was also a governor. But I don't think anyone would argue that America prospered and flourished under Jimmy Carter's presidency. … It's really, who is the person and what is their character?"
Bachmann also made clear that she will push for immediate changes to federal entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare in order to curtail government spending. During this summer's Washington debate over raising the national debt ceiling, she was adamant that Congress should not do it.
Her plan? Assure the markets that the US will pay interest on its debt. Then pay members of the military. Then pay current recipients of Social Security. After that, she said, get down to the business of reforming entitlements.
"This isn't some project for 10, 15 years down the road. Right now we're going to reform entitlements," Bachmann said on "This Week." "We're going to reform them for anyone who's currently not on them. We're going to change them so they'll work. Medicare, Medicaid – they have to be changed."
She did not specify how the programs for seniors and the poor would be changed, other than to seek "efficiencies" and to "modernize" them. President Obama, too, had indicated willingness to address entitlements, but as part of a "balanced approach" to shrinking the deficit and debt balance sheet that included some new revenue and, most definitely, a higher debt ceiling.
Bachmann, a former tax litigation attorney, also slammed the corporate tax rate as too high, insisting that it is an impediment to more people starting companies and creating new jobs.
She directed most of her fire at Mr. Obama, describing him as "flailing," and she avoided direct criticism of fellow Republicans vying for their party's presidential nomination. She said she "would not rest" until she sees "Obamacare" repealed, and she blamed Obama for bringing the country to the edge of default, not her own tea party compatriots.
Since this summer's debt debate, the tea party movement's standing with the US public has dropped to a new low, a new CNN/Opinion Research poll shows. Thirty-one percent of Americans say they have a favorable view of the tea party, down from 37 percent in mid-July.

It's time to celebrate spring with a cocktail — preferably one containing mint.
Not only does mint pair well with lamb, its name and scent evoke the freshness of spring.
Calgary bartenders agree, and are mixing cocktails using the leafy herb as a star ingredient.
"Mint is fresh, it's spring, it means there's good times to come," says Ox & Angela's Amiel Soicher, who muddles a mean, short mojito using mint, grapes, cane sugar, passion fruit puree and spiced rum.
"The mojito was the first cocktail I was taught to make. It's nice and refreshing. We make it strong."
Indeed. There's no club soda in El Mojito (see recipe below), just rum over muddled fruit, sugar and mint. The grapes and passion fruit give the drink an added richness and the spiced rum (as opposed to light rum) further brings out its fruit notes.
Over at Charcut, bartender Rebecca Davis makes a mint julep with a twist: she adds some heavy dashes of peach bitters.
"The peach adds a really nice component to it," Davis says. "And I like that you can taste the bourbon. Because (the spirit) is so complex, you can mix so many flavours with it."
Davis has even prepared the mint julep using black walnut bitters; but for spring, peach works really well.
I love how the peach hits my palate first, followed by the bourbon, with just a hint of mint. It, too, is a strong drink that mellows over time as the crushed ice melts and dilutes it — in a good way.
The Peach Julep (see recipe below) is a good spring cocktail, and Davis says it would pair well with a dark meat such as lamb.
"You could even make a bourbon-mint rub and massage your lamb with it," she says, adding, "I do like to add booze to my food."
For someone just cracking open a bottle of rum or bourbon after six weeks of alcohol abstinence, however, it's probably best to start slowly with one of these minty spring sips.
El Mojito
3 organic brown sugar cane "lumps" (available at Community Natural Foods or The Cookbook Co.)
4 white grapes half a fresh lime, cut in 9 square pieces
1 oz puree of passion fruit (available at The Cookbook Co.)
6 mint leaves
2 oz spiced rum (Ox & Angela uses Sailor Jerry's)
In a rocks glass, muddle the sugar lumps, grapes, lime and passion fruit puree, making sure to crush the sugar. Add 6 mint leaves and gently muddle the mint into the mixture. Add the rum and then fill the glass 2/3 full with crushed ice.
Stir up all the ingredients, making sure to pull up most of the muddled fruit and leaves so they don't clog your straw. Fill the rest of the glass with more crushed ice — a mountain to make it look pretty. Throw a sprig of mint on top, as well as a few white grapes, and finally, spear a straw through the ice to reach El Mojito.
— Recipe courtesy Ox & Angela, prepared by Amiel Soicher
Peach Julep
5 to 6 mint leaves
1/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/4 oz honey syrup
6 to 7 heavy dashes Fee Brothers Peach Bitters (available at Silk Road Spice Merchants)
1 1/2 oz Maker's Mark bourbon
In a chalice or julep cup, add mint leaves, lime juice, honey syrup and bitters.
Turn gently with a muddler to bruise the mint and release its oils. Add 1 oz of the bourbon. Fill half the cup with crushed ice. Stir 10 times to bring up the mint and co-mingle the flavours. Fill to top with crushed ice, then add the last of the bourbon. Add a crown of mint as a garnish, insert a straw and serve.
*To make the honey syrup, heat equal parts honey and water in a saucepan until the honey has dissolved. Cool and refrigerate.

GFCLLC necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 509 diseños de 107 diseñadores freelance.
Create a logo for my business, Gary Forman Creative. Right now, Gary Forman Creative is just me, Gary Forman, a speechwriter and creative director. I get hired by large corporations and non-profit organizations to write speeches for executives, promotional videos, and other persuasive copy, and to creative direct events and campaigns. I'm a word and idea guy.
I'm looking for a logo that helps say "here's a guy who can help you create great messages, ideas and experiences, and who is thoroughly professional."
The logo will be used on a business card, website, and letterhead.
Gary Forman Creative
I believe that I provide a higher level of thinking, professionalism, creativity and results than my competition. I want a visual identity that helps say that.
I have an MBA and a business background, and I've been working on the creative side for 15 years. I offer a combination of business expertise and creative skills that is relatively unique.
I have a tagline: "Move your audience." That's ultimately what I do: I help clients influence their audience. Often that audience is "live," in the case of speeches and events; other times the audience just refers to a target audience, who may be reading a brochure. But "move your audience" is always the promise. And it shows clients that my business isn't about showing how creative I am; it's about helping them achieve the result they want.
- Gary and Forman should be equally weighted; Creative can be weighted either the same or less
- I'm open to logos that are purely typography, as well as logos that include a symbol or mark
- Ideally I would like "Move your audience" to be included as part of the design - not within the logo per se - perhaps as part of a business card mock-up (maybe on the back?)
- At the minimum, the idea of "Move your audience" should inform your design thinking
- If you mock up a business card, please also include "Speechwriter and Creative Director" as descriptor/title, along with generic address/phone/web & email
- Avoid anything that says "move your audience" too literally: or in other words, no people icons with arrows. Subtle/symbolic is good, literal is not so good
- I'm not a huge fan of initials
- No stock images or marks

Back in their Brigitte Bardot days, the Fair Ohs flirted with Brighton record labels Sex is Disgusting and Faux Discx for their early releases, teaming up with thou-shalt-be-very-cool bands like Spectrals, Women, Male Bonding and Cold Pumas. But now they brave new ground in East London, nipping ahead of the crowd with their own record label Honey High, and with that they have popped out their three format debut (with an extra EP bundled in with the vinyl - cor).
Is their sound Chinese inspired? Is it Indian? Or is it East African calypso garage punk? Any way you look at it, on a commercial level, they lie somewhere between the bright 'n' breezy rhythmic tones and world pop of Vampire Weekend and the creativity of a band like Foals. And speaking of Foals as a point of reference: their previous video director has been drafted in by the Ohs for invigorating and refreshingly original single/title track 'Everything is Dancing' (that is free to download from their website). The resulting video is a piece of slightly unnerving moving imagery that stars a fat, binge-eating Batman and Robin, post cooked breakfast, prancing around the garden in the sun. Fat Batman hand jives and Robin sprays a hose about. Oh joy.
The album begins with the more than likely conceptual artist inspired title of 'Baldessari'. It sounds energising and revitalising, with sprightly sounding guitar from Eddy Frankel, up against Joe Ryan's swinging beats, vocals raucous without being too raucous. Next song 'Eden Rock' ups the need for speed, drawing in inspiration from the seaside and contains vocals that switch between harmonious tunage and call and response style shoutings. Third track 'Colours' is one of the highlights of the album and an obvious contender for a future single. It opens with a bass line touch by the funk, courtesy of Matt Flag and an off kilter drum beat topped with trademark twinkling guitar sounds. And then there is Frankel's vocals starting the song mysteriously with the lines "My colours/my colours fading away", but any murk is dispensed with for a proper pop chorus with the lyrical hook "Don't know what I'm gonna do/don't know what I'm gonna say/don't know who I'm gonna be" that nonetheless only adds to the enigma of this song. And that's really how the album carries on: uplifting, interesting instrumental arrangements layered with thoughtful vocals that are a mixture of melody and chants that makes it a joy to listen to and reflect the fun the Ohs have obviously had in experimenting with sounds, trying out new styles of music and assembling them all to produce an inspiring end product.

Kershaw tosses efficient five innings in rehab start
Dodgers left-hander allows two hits over five innings, striking out six
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw had a successful, five-inning rehabilitation stint Friday night about 45 miles from Dodger Stadium.
Kershaw pitched for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, the Dodgers' California League affiliate at the Class A Advanced level, where he had never pitched. He bypassed the California League as well as the Triple-A level on his road to the Major Leagues.
Kershaw looked sharp and reported no pain. He has been sidelined with an upper back injury after pitching against Arizona in the Opening Series in Australia.
"I felt good and felt healthy," said the 6-foot-3 Kershaw, who has had the lowest ERA in the National League for the past three seasons.
Kershaw allowed Lancaster only two hits in five innings, striking out six while walking only one. He left the game in a position to be the winning pitcher, but the Lancaster JetHawks rallied to earn a 6-3 victory over Rancho Cucamonga.
In addition to being effective, Kershaw also was efficient. In the first inning, he retired the side on seven pitches. He needed only six pitches in the third and fourth innings.
"I was happy to pitch five innings because it meant I got up and down five times," said Kershaw, a two-time Cy Young Award winner.
Kershaw threw 56 pitches, one more than his pregame target of 55. In addition to the good control, Kershaw induced several batters to hit easy ground-ball outs.
Frequently in rehab efforts, how a pitcher feels the day after pitching is more important than how he feels immediately after the game. Kershaw reported good news on that front.
"I don't have any pain now and don't anticipate any problems in the morning," said Kershaw.
The next stop for Kershaw has not been determined. Before the Dodgers' game against Colorado, manager Don Mattingly said he would like to have Kershaw throw one more rehab start. Asked where he thought he would pitch next week, Kershaw offered no opinions.
"I'm not going to answer that question," Kershaw said. "I don't know what the plans are."
The only ball hit hard against him was by Carlos Perdomo, who drilled a 3-1 pitch over the left-field fence in the top of the fourth. It was Perdomo's eighth home run in seven years as a professional. The Venezuela native, who celebrated his 24th birthday on Thursday, had an opposite-field single for Lancaster's only other hit against Kershaw.
"He looked comfortable in the box and he looked like he had a plan," Kershaw said. "I had a 3-1 count on him and I didn't want to walk another batter."
The game at Rancho Cucamonga was a sellout. It became public knowledge on Wednesday that Kershaw would pitch for the Quakes, but another factor creating the full house was a Brian Wilson BobbleBeard promotional giveaway.
"I made sure to get one of those things for Brian," Kershaw said.

Rúmil (elf of Tirion)
This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made.
|"Rúmil" by Steamey
|Biographical Information
|Other names
|"Elf-sage of Valinor"
|Tirion, Valinor
|Common Eldarin, Valarin, Quenya and Telerin
|Notable for
|Sarati; see Works
|Physical Description
|Hair color
|Images of Rúmil
[edit] History
Rúmil was notable for inventing writing. His alphabet was called Sarati, as each letter was called a sarat. This alphabet was later expanded and perfected by Fëanor as the Tengwar. He was also a skilled linguist, and when the Teleri finally arrived in Valinor he was first to discover just how the Telerin language differed from Common Eldarin compared to Quenya.
It is assumed that Rúmil was one of the Noldor who refused the summons of Fëanor, because he stopped writing his part of Annals of Valinor with the return to Valinor of those Noldor, led by Finarfin.[1].
[edit] Works
Rúmil was said to be the author of various works, some of which would find great acknowledgment after they were translated into Westron by Bilbo Baggins. These include:
Pengolodh of Gondolin, when arrived to Valinor, later continued and completed much of his work.
[edit] Etymology
The only thing known about the name Rúmil is that it is Quenya.[2]
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
In The Book of Lost Tales, an Elf of Tol Eressea named Rúmil narrates to Eriol the creation of Arda by Ilúvatar and the Ainur; this mirrors Rúmil's connection to the Ainulindale tale.

Also known as THE PIE(tm) on my blog.
– One 9″ prepared pie crust, do not pre-bake/blind bake
– 4 TBSP butter, softened
– 3/4 c light brown sugar, packed
– 3 eggs, beaten
– 3/4 c light Karo (corn) syrup
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 2 TBSP all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp vanilla
– 1 1/2 c crushed pecans
– 1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 2 TBSP bourbon (such as Maker's Mark)
Cream butter. Add sugar gradually while beating. Add beaten eggs, Karo, salt, vanilla, and flour. Stir in chips and nuts. Stir in bourbon until well mixed. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to remix.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place crust in a glass pie dish, flour the bottom lightly.
Stir batter one final time, and pour into pie crust. Place on the bottom rack of the oven (if you don't the bottom crust will come out soggy, as I discovered to my dismay) and bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. If necessary, cover pie crust edges with foil to avoid burning. Continue baking for about 45 minutes, until center is no longer jiggly.
Let cool nearly completely before serving; pie surface will settle considerably during cooling. Serve with Whiskey Brown Sugar Whipped Cream.
Refrigerate leftovers.
(Adapted from a recipe provided to me by Dyskinesia and Taoist Biker, who are officially reserved a special place in Heaven for this.)

Student Launches Doctoral Research in ELS/Chicago Guided Research Course
Former ELS/Chicago student Paolo Geovanny Fabre Merchan of Ecuador will use the research he began in the Guided Research Course at the Center for his proposed doctoral project.
The project is based on educational systems and pre and in-service teacher training programs in Ecuador.
Fabre Merchan began his study at ELS/Chicago in the fall of 2016 and attended three sessions at the Center. Fabre Merchan is an English professor in the Department of English and Foreign Languages and an educational researcher at the Universidad Estatal de Milagro in Ecuador. He is also a published author, writing about differentiated instruction in the field of TEFL. Fabre Merchan has recent and upcoming presentations on this topic in the U.S. and in Europe.
Regarding his experience at ELS/Chicago, Fabre Merchan said, "Today, I am going back to my country with better English language proficiency. My brain is full of knowledge and my heart is full of unforgettable moments and international friends."
Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Dominican University and the Universidad Estatal de Milagro, Fabre Merchan is one of the first nine professors who have come to study English at ELS/Chicago at Dominican University for professional development.
ELS/Chicago is currently working with Universidad Estatal de Milagro to bring up to 30 professors to the Center to study English.

Sad to see Dunn go. I can't wait to see the Reds start "winning" with a Padres-like offense.
Good luck, Dunn. I hope he blasts 15 home runs the rest of the season and drops a couple 1.000 OPS seasons on MLB the next few years. The Reds will deserve it.

Our videographer Elena Parker -- a serious food and film buff -- is really good at throwing movie-themed dinner parties. She and her friends cook together, serve up, and eat while they watch.
We've asked her to start sharing the menus for her favorite films with us -- here's the fifth installment: the classic musical Singin' in the Rain.
- Elena
The heat does several things to me: it makes me tired, it makes me sweat and, because of both of those previous things, it makes me pretty angry. Naturally, I turn to movies for all the things that ail me and, for those heat-related bothers, there is not a single better cure than Singin' in the Rain.
I don't believe that the story of the silent film star, Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) needs much of an introduction. After sound enters the film industry, Don and his insufferably high-pitched screen partner Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen, in the most highly underrated film villain role of all time) must adjust to the technology. Enter Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds), with a voice to match Lina's looks. Of course, the most glorious parts of the film have little to do with the 'plot'. Regardless of the fact that the story is quite flawless, my favorite scenes mostly consist of the dancing. "Make 'em Laugh," with the incomparable Donald O'Connor, the incredibly catchy "Good Mornin'...," scene and, of course, the unforgettable images of Gene Kelly dancing through the storm.
Singin' in the Rain will not only erase every single negative, heat-induced thought from your head, I also believe that this flick servers as a spiritual plea to the Film Gods. If we all think about that single image of Gene Kelly grabbing a streetlamp and embracing the downpour, I think the powers that be will hear us and the rain will appear, cutting the insufferable heat down to size. And then we shall all have a smile on our collective faces.
But, in case it doesn't work (those Film Gods can be fickle) ... we can always enjoy the following meal, which derives itself mostly from the spirit of "Good Mornin'..." and, of course, the cake out of which Kathy emerges the first time we see her dance.

Shreveport, La. City Council Member Halts Effort To Repeal LGBT Rights Ordinance
SHREVEPORT, La. - A City Council member in Shreveport has, for now, halted his effort to repeal an LGBT-inclusive anti-discrimination ordinance.
The law bans discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in employment, housing and public spaces.
Shreveport council member Ron Webb had cast the only dissenting vote when the ordinance was approved last month.
Webb has since been pushing a repeal measure. However he withdrew the proposal at Tuesday's council meeting after an hour of public comment. He said the issue would be discussed at a later date.
Advocates for the new law showed up in force to oppose repeal.
Transgender and gay community members who supported the new law at Tuesday's meeting included a man who identified himself as one of Webb's former teachers.
Other advocates included pastor John Henson.
"Please keep it in place for the benefit of all the citizens here in Shreveport," said Henson, pastor of Church for the Highland.
"I am proud of the six Shreveport City Council Members who stayed vocally supportive of the ordinance throughout the repeal effort," Tim S. West, president of the organization Equality Louisiana, said in a Wednesday news release. "This is further proof that fairness is not only good for Louisiana but what Louisiana wants."

The Eclipse Foundation has released its Helios 2010 release train. The Helios release is the largest release train produced by the Eclipse community, including 39 different project teams, over 33 million lines of code are released and the work of 490 committers.
The release train makes it easier for users and adopters of Eclipse technology to adopt new versions of the different Eclipse projects. The Eclipse community also makes available 12 different Eclipse packages that target different types of developer usage, including Java EE developers, PHP developers, C/C++ developers and many more.
"The Helios release is another fantastic effort by the Eclipse committer community", explains Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Besides the feat of coordinating such a large development effort, Helios introduces important innovations in areas such as Git support, Linux development and JavaScript support.
The Helios includes:
- A new Linux IDE package makes it easier for Linux developers to use an integrated tool chain for building C/C++ applications for the Linux operating system. This package includes the new Linux Tools project which includes Eclipse integrations of popular Linux utilities such as GNU Autotools, Valgrind, OProfile, RPM, SystemTap, GCov, GProf, and LTTng. A recent Eclipse Community Survey has shown increased use of Linux by developers. It is expected this package will help further accelerate Eclipse adoption in the Linux community.
- Eclipse Marketplace Client provides developers an 'app-store' experience to easily discover and install new Eclipse plug-ins. Eclipse Marketplace is a catalog of Eclipse based solutions. Over 100 of these will be available from the new Marketplace Client, making it significantly easier to find and install Eclipse solutions.
- Support for the Git distributed version control (DVCS) tool. EGit 0.8 release includes a new Git repositories view and support for fast forward merging and tagging. JGit 0.8 -- which EGit uses under the covers to talk to Git repositories -- benefited from performance enhancements of up to 50% when working with large repositories.
- The Web Tools Platform project has introduced support for creating, running, and debugging applications written for the latest Java EE Specifications (Java EE 6) including, Servlet 3.0, JPA 2.0, JSF 2.0, and EJB 3.1.
- Improved support in the JavaScript Development Tools project (JSDT) for JavaScript developers, including a JavaScript debug framework that allows for integration of JavaScript debuggers, such as Rhino and Firebug. A new JavaScript IDE package has also been created to make it easier for JavaScript developers to find, install and use an Eclipse-based IDE.
- Eclipse Xtext 1.0, a framework for creating domain specific languages (DSL), introduces 80 new features, including improved performance and scalability by up to 30 times previous versions. A new in-memory indexing feature makes it possible to develop more sophisticated DSL's in Xtext.
- A new release of Acceleo 3.0 implements the OMG Model-to-text (MTL) specification and provides the features required for a code generator IDE. This release also provides unique tools around example-base design of code generators.
The Helios packages can be downloaded now at www.eclipse.org/downloads.

When it came to the Saints getting throttled by the Titans in the final preseason game of the year the other night, here's what one guy wrote:
"The cheers erupted just after halftime began as the public address announcer introduced the 610 Stompers, the all-men dance troupe that's big on moves with tons of spirit. They were about the only thing native to New Orleans in the Superdome that had moves and spirit Thursday night and they certainly elicited the night's loudest cheer."
Well, that's unique.
The 610 Stompers motto is "Ordinary Men. Extraordinary Moves."
And that's uniquer.
This video offers a view from the stands.

Post No. 255!
Hard to stop looking for ancestors?
You can bet on it.
Hard to stop looking also for other people's ancestors?
You can bet on it also.
Henri Jean Lagasse emigrated to America and he left descendants searching for their roots back in France.
That's what the 1900 U.S. Census says,
This search has been going on the Internet since 2000.
I am Paul Chandler. My mother is Sarah Glory Chandler. My grandfather is Henry Glory. My great-grandmother was Annie Mary Lagasse Glory (1894-1970). My great-great-grandfather was Joseph Lagasse (1873?-1957). My great-great-great-grandfather was Henry Lagasse (1831-1909). THIS Henry was married to Mathilda Dazet and according to their tomb in Lafayette #2 (NOT L#1 across the street from Commander's Palace) they were both native of France. Henry and Mathilda had two sons and three daughters. The sons were Paul (1862-1935) and Joseph (my ancestor). Joseph had at least 11 kids. Paul had at least 13 kids. Each of the sons had lots of boys to the point of where I am related to every Lagasse in town except for the famous Emeril who is from up north. Paul had a Henry who had a Henry. Joseph had two Henrys (one died as an infant). Which Henry is your grandfather?
I am guessing that the original Henry came to New Orleans before the Civil War.
With the message I got on Ancestry's Message Board yesterday I think Henri Jean Lagasse is still looking for his ancestors.
I know people who had been searching for the elusive Dennis Lagasse for 25 years.
I was here all the time… with my brother Peter.
Pierre Lagacé (Peter Lagasse) and Stanislas Lagacé (Dennis Lagasse II)
Thanks to this blog, Dennis has reunited three distant cousins together and he keeps reuniting people over and over again.
Make that four cousins and counting.
As for Henri Jean Lagasse, I am also certain he is not really related to me. But is that really important?
Genealogy runs in my veins…

I think it's wrong and causes more problems than the users of it think.
It's almost a communist thing if you ask me. You're controlling somebody without them knowing. The only way to avoid it is to turn off the TV or ignore magazines. Nobody wants to do that though (except me, I don't care for TV and I don't read or look at magazines...I'll stick with spudguns thank you). It's pretty scary stuff really considering I could be doing things I wouldn't otherwise do.
But can it be used for good? If we can get people to by things by putting certain messages/images in an ad...can we get people to stop drinking or stop acting like idiots? I think the brain gets confused the first time it's subjected to subliminal advertising. Normally, by learned behaviour (depending on parents) a person would behave and act normal but add that with a truckload of subliminal messaging and you get a confused brain and a person that doesn't know what to do. This could cause problems but I really don't know since I haven't studied the brain.
What do you guys think?
