Press Release:
Sports car manufacturer showcases a limited production model
Wiesmann, the luxury sports car maker, will be presenting an absolutely stunning example of its hand-crafted sports car range – the Wiesmann Roadster MF5 – to visitors at the 63rd International Motor Show inFrankfurt.
The Wiesmann Roadster MF5 takes even experienced sports car enthusiasts into a brand new dimension of driving enjoyment, delivering a top speed of 310 km/h and completing the sprint from standstill to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. This exclusive open-air experience will only be available to a select few because the spirited power package is only being produced in a limited edition of 55. Equipped with a V10 engine, 507 HP and 520 Nm torque, it's a car that appeals to all the senses. It also literally hugs the road as a result of perfect weight distribution.
Not only does the Wiesmann MF5 have a lot to boast about under the bonnet, it also has an impressive exterior: the low body, the typical retro-style Wiesmann design and the wide tyres communicate exclusivedriving enjoyment at first glance – a promise that is also made by the car's purist interior fittings. No superfluous driving actions are necessary and everything that the driver needs to operate the vehicle is within perfect reach.
It goes without saying that the essential combination of sportiness and safety are also consistently implemented in the new roadster. For example, the rear wing plus perfectly balanced suspension set-up guarantees the necessary stability, even at top speeds. The roadster version of the MF5 also has an extandable wing for perfect handling on the race track and on the road. The torsion-resistant aluminium monocoque with integrated side-impact protection, dual stage driver and passenger airbags, ABS, DSC and many other safety features ensure that the driver still feels safe, even when his endorphin levels are sky high.
Wiesmann is exhibiting at Booth B18 in Hall 5.

PTC Demands An End To Late-Night Fox Cartoons, Forgets What That 'P' In Their Acronym Means
from the is-it-for-penis? dept
You all remember the Parent's Television Council. They're the conservative family values on television police that seem to think nobody should watch anything they don't like. This has amounted to trying to keep kids from seeing documentaries, to being accused of a focus on fund-raising over actually doing anything, and seeming to have the kind of extreme interest in pornography that would worry most psychologists. Basically, they strive to make everything you see as family-friendly as possible, because they have families and you should too and, if you don't, you don't count. Side note: Billy Ray Cyrus is a board member of the PTC, because a guy married multiple times with children outside of wedlock is super in line with conservative family values.
Well, the PTC is back again to ruin everyone's fun. This time, they have their cross-hairs set on Fox's new late-night cartoon program, which is made up of a bunch of cartoon shorts parodying beloved children's programming for adult audiences. The recently-premiered ADHD programming is supposed to eventually compete with other adult-oriented shows in that time slot, notably Saturday Night Live. The majority of the content is only available online, but that doesn't mean a thing to the PTC, who recently publicly blasted Fox Chairman Kevin Reilly over the show.
"Even if Fox selected only the most benign programs from the 'ADHD' block to spin into a half-hour time slot on Sunday nights, there's no getting around the fact that the online counterpart makes available mind-blowingly explicit parodies of cartoons beloved by millions of children, all without any parental controls or age restrictions whatsoever," PTC President Tim Winter wrote in the letter.So, by now you're probably wondering what has the PTC so up in arms, right? Well, the answer, of course, is turtle penises, as we learn from this NSFW clip.
But here's the thing, this show is a late-night show, competing with other shows geared towards adults and shown in a time slot when all good little boys and girls with parents that aren't chimpanzees should be in bed. Or, at the very least, should have their television habits monitored. You know, by their parents. That, after all, is what the "P" in PTC stands for: parents, who, if they're doing their jobs properly, can save their children from the horrors of seeing a half-shelled mega-wang (turtle-power indeed). But, hey, parenting is hard (totally not an intended pun) and grandstanding for fund-raising is easy, which is how we get the PTC trying to make sure no one has any fun.

Bigotry flourishes in a landscape of apathy. It doesn't need support to continue, only the illusion of support which comes from silence and a lack of repercussions for the harassment. This is what struck me when otherwise moral, smart people see another story about a woman being harassed online and being the target of rape threats.
I noted this in response to a recent case of Janelle Asselin (that Ophelia highlghted) over at The Daily Beast.
People are terrible, aren't they? Sorry "not all people"… etc. (That delightful link comes from and is written by my friend, Ewa)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Community Council Inc.'s annual Quality of Life report released Thursday shows some improvements Jacksonville has made, as well as areas where the city needs work.
JCCI releases the annual report that monitors critical issues facing the region, hoping to bring awareness to the city's problem spots. Keeping the community safe is one of those areas.
The report indicates families are less safe and secure for children as child abuse and neglect reports increased for the second year in a row.
"Child abuse reports were a red flag," said Laura Lane, of JCCI.
The number of child abuse cases rose more than 10 percent in 2012. Lane said she hopes as the economy improves those numbers will go down.
"Job opportunities affect families, and ultimately, children are suffering in many ways," Lane said.
DOCUMENT: JCCI 2012 Quality of Life Report
In addition to child abuse, the overall crime rate went up nearly 3 percent. Jacksonville saw a rash of domestic violence last year, including several child abuse killings and six murder-suicides that seemingly happened all over the city from the Deerwood area to the Northside.
"We definitely continue to see a high demand," Gail Patin, of the Hubbard House, said of the domestic abuse problem in Jacksonville. "It definitely doesn't abate. We oftentimes don't have enough beds for people, enough staff to meet the needs."
Patin said it's no wonder child abuse rates are up, because domestic homicides are up, too. And when there is domestic violence in the home where a child lives, the child normally is affected as well.
"For victims of domestic violence, which are particularly women and children, there's a high incidence of child abuse in homes where there is domestic violence," Patin said.
She said domestic violence is too complicated to pinpoint why it happens, but that now that Jacksonville knows how bad the issue is, raising awareness is the next step.

Fr. John, I published my article on Hebrew Catholics in the Orthodox Wiki portal for two reasons, the first is I couldn't log in the General Wikipedia and the second because it is related to an Eastern spirituality. You said you deleted it because it is not convenient for your site, i mean, you consider it not appropriate. So, where is the information right for your believers and anybody else? Where is the Christian spirit you proclaim? I don't pretend to alien or romanize the Orthodoxy, as i understand we are from the same Apostolic root. Where is the final period for a real unity? When until are the Latin and Orthodox fighting for little things? I'm a great admiror of the Eastern culture and its ritual traditions. I respect and support the diversity in the Church of Christ. I believe in the unity but not the uniformity. So, if you could see i look for the defined identities from the peoples.
- Hi Levikahano, It's not right for OrthodoxWiki because it deals with a Roman Catholic group. I'm not saying the group isn't important or that we may share many things, but this generally isn't in the scope of material that we would include here. I would encourage you to put it on a Catholic wiki, or even on Wikipedia. May God bless you. — FrJohn (talk)
Deletes and undeletes?
I'm curious as to what exactly you're doing. Are you trying to erase article histories to remove direct evidence of vandalism? If so, it makes examining the legitimate part of the histories somewhat difficult... :/ —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 16:03, June 3, 2006 (CDT)
Book sources page formatting
There are HTML formatting problems on the Special:Booksources page. (after the ISBN number is entered) This once worked but now does not. There is no way for me to fix it, so I'll just report it. Andrew 12:57, June 13, 2006 (CDT)
- I went ahead and wikified the page. Is there a particular reason why the html formatting no longer works? —magda (talk) 13:09, June 13, 2006 (CDT)
- Hmm... probably has to do with the upgrade to 1.6. I'm out of town now, but I'll try to have a look next week when I get back. Fr. John
Name blocks
Are we able to block certain usernames from being used? Right now, the system of renaming has its advantages in the history section of vandalised articles, but the same usernames can still be reused - can we put, say, a '*vandal*' block up? — edited by Pιsτévο at 21:57, June 16, 2006 (CDT)
- I think it's possible, but I'll have to refresh my memory on this. Let me try to look at this later in the week. Fr. John
Hello, Father
Thanks for the message. I'm a php programmer. I'm mystified by wiki, but I'll figure it out.
Thanks, not sure how much I can, or will contribute, but hey, maybe I will learn something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mmatga2me99 (talk • contribs) .
Thank you for the welcome
Dear Fr John,
Thank you for the kind welcome. Much appreciated. It's nice to be here. -Antonios 15:27, August 5, 2006 (CDT)
Thank you, Father John. I find it a pleasure to accept your invitation. I wouldn't do too well on handling theological subject, but history, etc. and sounding off on non-theological subject I can do.
I had been meaning to e-mailing you on the subject of sound (audio) lifes, but have kept putting it off. I have a recording of my father-in-law's choir (Victor Pokrovsky) that I recorded at Nicolai-do in 1957 and have wondered if you want to place audio files on Orthodoxwiki. I have the file in two formats, AIFF Audio file and MP3 Audio file. I know the perferred format is 'OGG' but so far I haven't found the means to convert it. The file is short, 11 minutes, but of course is a large, 112MB and 127 MB. There is a slight pause at about a one third point for a shorter version.
I can send the file to you if you have access to a means to convert the file, when I get to a high speed connection. I'm on dial-up. Or less I could just up-load load one of the two versions I have.Wsk 20:28, August 10, 2006 (CDT)

STRATHAM -- Jewett Metal Buildings & Steel Erectors, a division of Raymond, NH-based Jewett Construction Co., Inc., recently completed multiple projects in New Hampshire and Maine.
Working under Crow Construction, JMB provided the structural steel, joists, deck, and metal panel siding for an addition to MBRAUN's facility in Stratham, New Hampshire.
All work on this job was completed while the company was open for business, as was the project completed for Hardypond Construction, which entailed erecting a 20,000sf pre-engineered metal building addition for American Steel of South Portland, Maine.
While under contract with Irishspan, Jewett erected a 6,000sf pre-engineered metal building as part of a new auto parts building for Standish Auto Parts in Standish, Maine.
Other projects completed in Maine include the installation of a steel front vestibule at the Dow Investment Group in Falmouth while under contract with Precision Welding; erecting structural steel and hanging metal panels in a new woodchip boiler building at Falmouth Middle School while under contract with Benchmark Construction; and several projects in conjunction with PM Construction including erecting a structural steel addition with metal insulated wall panels for offices at the Hannaford warehouse in South Portland, erecting beams at the Alouette Hotel in Old Orchard Beach, and replacing a series of roof beams at the Portland Teen Center.

one of my favourite things about travelling has always been about finding gorgeous, indigenous treasures to bring home....there's nothing that makes me fizz more with joy than using a bowl, spoon, quilt, glass, napkin.....that brings back the memory of a certain time and far-flung place....A. has always been extremely patient about my NEED to seek out a specific shop that sells something special.....usually with a strong artisanal element...give me something original, local, hand-crafted and i'm there wondering how to stretch that luggage allowance.....but even some of our simpler everyday things have been purchased in foreign supermarkets (always a good place to visit!) and give us happy little memories.
some of our more memorable purchases......
- a vintage white, fragile, silk-quilt...handmade in vietnam...that i begrudgingly use because in my mind, it's irreplaceable but there's no point in hiding it in a cupboard.
- a VERY LARGE ironwork mirror frame from marrakesh that we compulsively bought on our first evening and then spent the rest of the trip trying to squeeze into taxis and planes
- a LARGE and HEAVY mortar and pestle from chaing mai...probably the worst long-distance purchase ever...at least it stretched my arms a bit when trying to make it look as light as a feather in the carry-on
- a beautiful leather-bound album from india...that remains empty as the pics really need to justify themselves in such a lovely setting
- stone placemats from Hong Kong....which i'm still hoping to turn into a table in the future
one day....i'm hoping that Limi will love and use some of these finds...and especially enjoy the history that surrounds them.
so....in Greece....although i had a severe longing for a flat, ancient, 18 carat gold Greek signet ring (see pic above)....the Archaeological Museum wouldn't sell me one. but we did buy some gorgeous, rustic, handmade bowls and a jug from a family of potters on the island of Kithira! hopefully these pieces from her very first family holiday, will last long enough for Limi to toss together her own Greek salad and serve to a big table of friends!

CemLS #12786 - Ivy Hill Cemetery
CemLS: #12786 - Available
|Garden: Section 3 - 3
|Section: Section 3-3
Plot Info
The sites that are available in Section 3 - 3 are ground burial sites. These sites will accommodate burials of a casket or cremated remains burials. This section has sites available for both Bronze or Granite memorialization. Please contact the cemetery office for more details.
Cemetery Info
Welcome to Ivy Hill Cemetery Co. of Alexandria. The cemetery is a bucolic 22+ acres of rolling hills and urban forest with some ancient trees, a gurgling stream, hosting many species of birds and wildlife in the middle of Alexandria's residential neighborhoods. Ivy Hill is still an active cemetery for sales and burials as well as an historic destination for visitors from all over the world. The Cemetery is a beautiful place to visit loved ones, or just to experience an oasis of peace and tranquility in a busy and crowded urban area.
The lore of Ivy Hill Cemetery has been that the cemetery was farm land donated by Hugh C. Smith at his death. Recent research into the history of Ivy Hill Cemetery discovered that the Cemetery was chartered in 1856, through a sale by the estate of Hugh C. Smith. The executor of his estate sold two parcels of land in September 1854, one for 21 plus acres and the other of 1.7 acres to a group of 30 Alexandrians for the development of a community cemetery that we know as Ivy Hill Cemetery today. The Smith family is also interred in Ivy Hill Cemetery.
Ivy Hill Cemetery still has a limited number of ground burial sites available for sale. We also have recently opened 4 new cremation gardens that feature a variety of ways to memorialize loved ones. We have a limited amount of remaining space that can accommodate more families well into the future through traditional burial and cremation inurnment options. Ivy Hill Cemetery could be the ideal spot for anyone's final resting place.
The Ivy Hill Cemetery Historical Preservation Society was formed in 2006 to ensure a future maintenance and care of this historic treasure. The Preservation Society offers tours, events and volunteer opportunities in order to preserve, protect and promote Ivy Hill Cemetery's monuments, history and flora/fauna. You can find out more and stay informed through news and events listed on this site; or you can also sign up to receive the Preservation Society's newsletter.
Ivy Hill Cemetery is a private non-denominational cemetery founded in 1856. It is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia and has 501 (c) (13) status, and is able to accept tax deductible donations.
The Preservation Society has 501 (c) (3) status under the Internal Revenue Code and is able to accept tax deductible contributions.
Ivy Hill Cemetery, by law, is not permitted to inter the remains of pets. (We, however, do allow pets on leash within the Cemetery grounds. Owners are responsible to clean up after their pets.)
The Cemetery Grounds are open daily sunrise to sunset.
The Cemetery Office is open Monday – Friday from 9 to 4, other times maybe available by appointment.

I should think Hannibal Lector would've liked SW Speakers' Figaro speakers. In fact, he probably would've played Bach's Goldberg Variations while chewing the faces off a few unsuspecting guys. But don't let that put you off this well-designed Swedish-Austrian model.
While the price hasn't been revealed just yet, they're said to be made from carbon fiber and mahogany wood stands, with Seas coaxial drivers lurking around inside. If they're not nearly enough bling for your liking, SW Speakers will also decorate them in gold, silver, or even diamonds. [SW Speakers via Born Rich]

Mr. Speaker, the Parliament of Canada is limited in its freedom to pass legislation by the charter of rights and freedoms.
The private member bill I am introducing today is designed to limit parliamentarians in their ability to run budget deficits, which in effect provide benefits for voters today at the expense of unborn generations who have no vote and representation in today's Parliament.
The record shows that Parliament has been totally irresponsible in its disregard of the interests of future generations. My bill will make it responsible by prohibiting deficits, limiting the growth of spending and imposing fines on MPs who vote for deficit budgets and excessive spending growth.

Members of the House are often required to vote on various pieces of legislation. It occurs to me that quite often members of Parliament and the general public have no idea of exactly what the cost will be or its future impact on taxpayers.
The bill would require that prior to all legislation being voted on that it be properly costed and the costing be attested to by the Governor General. I believe if we had had this type of legislation in the past we would not have the debt and deficit problems which now exist.
I am pleased to introduce the bill which will provide an awareness and a better focus among parliamentarians on some of the debt and deficit problems we have.

Taxpayers Bill Of RightsRoutine Proceedings

Alex Shepherd Liberal Durham, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-215, an act to appoint a taxation ombudsman and to amend the Income Tax Act to establish certain rights of taxpayers.
Mr. Speaker, it pleases me once again to reintroduce my private members' bill which I have entitled a taxpayers bill of rights. Basically the bill would provide for an ombudsman who would act as an adjudicator between taxpayers and the government.
Revenue Canada has become more and more desirous of increased revenues from taxpayers. It has used some of its authoritative mechanisms to, I believe, infringe on the civil liberties of Canadians to the extent of unnecessary seizures and other onerous acts.
This bill will protect widowers and widows from having to sell their properties in restitution of back taxes or taxpayers from having to relinquish their homes. It also provides a window of opportunity for restitution and compensation for wrongful acts by Revenue Canada. It provides for $50,000 compensation for wrongful acts by Revenue Canada on the taxpayers of Canada.
The United States and the United Kingdom have similar acts. It is long overdue here in Canada.

Roger Gallaway Liberal Sarnia—Lambton, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-216, an act to amend the Broadcasting Act (broadcasting policy).
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to introduce this bill to amend the Broadcasting Act. As more players enter the marketplace to provide television programming services to Canadians, it is necessary that the CRTC understand that the consumer's interest is paramount.
To this end I am introducing this bill which will amend the broadcast policy section of the Broadcasting Act to direct the CRTC never again to permit negative option billing or other such practices.
Clearly the potential for this still exists, but in the interests of Canadian consumers the bill will level the playing field between supplier and consumer of services, something over which Canadians expressed strong opinions last year during the consumer revolt against cable companies.

Pierrette Venne Bloc Saint-Hubert, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-217, entitled: "An act to amend the Criminal Code (protection of witnesses)".
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of tabling today this bill to amend the Criminal Code so that every person who testifies in proceedings relating to a sexual offence or assault, or in which the offender allegedly used, attempted to use or threatened to use violence, is afforded the same protection as witnesses under 14 years of age are currently afforded under the Criminal Code.
During this kind of proceedings, the accused will not be able to question the victim. In such cases, the judge will appoint counsel to conduct the cross-examination.
(Motion deemed agreed to, bill read the first time and ordered to be printed.)
Criminal CodeRoutine Proceedings
3:30 p.m.
Jay Hill Reform Prince George—Peace River, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-218, an act to amend the Criminal Code and the Young Offenders Act (capital punishment).
Mr. Speaker, the purpose of the bill is to impose the death penalty on adults convicted of first degree murder. Canadians are demanding fundamental changes to our criminal justice system, and almost 70 per cent have called for the reinstatement of capital punishment.
The bill provides additional safeguards against miscarriages of justice by allowing questions of both fact and law to be considered throughout the appeals process. Evidence for whether capital punishment is a deterrent for other murderers is not conclusive, but at least criminals guilty of premeditated first degree murder will not be back on the streets to kill again.
Too many Canadians have died at the hands of violent criminals who show no remorse for the victims of their crimes. These people will never be rehabilitated, no matter how long they stay in prison.
The bill also addresses the growing public concern over light sentences for violent young offenders. It calls for a range of stiffer minimum penalties for youth convicted of first degree murder.
I recommend that the government allow a free vote on the bill and encourage all members to seek actively the views of their constituents on this important issue.

Canada Labour CodeRoutine Proceedings
3:30 p.m.
Lee Morrison Reform Swift Current—Maple Creek—Assiniboia, SK
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-219, an act to amend the Canada Labour Code (severance pay).
Mr. Speaker, the purpose of the bill is to remove from the Canada Labour Code the provision that denies severance pay to employees who at the time they are terminated from employment are entitled to a pension under certain plans or legislation.
Currently, no matter how inadequate a pension may be, it deprives an employee of the right to severance pay. Passage of the bill would end an injustice and would end the enshrinement of age discrimination in the Canada Labour Code.

Energy Price CommissionRoutine Proceedings
3:35 p.m.
John Solomon NDP Regina—Lumsden, SK
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-220, an act respecting the Energy Price Commission.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to introduce the bill respecting the energy price commission. The bill responds to the concerns and complaints of millions of Canadians about unfair gas pricing, unjustifiable price increases for gasoline and government tax hikes on gasoline.
The bill establishes an energy price commission to regulate wholesale and retail prices of gasoline. The purpose of price regulation is to avoid unreasonable increases that affect the cost of living, agricultural production costs and depressed business activity.
The bill will facilitate reasonable consistency in prices from province to province, allowing for production and distribution costs. The regulation further minimizes the risk of collusion in pricing and prevents dominant suppliers from setting unreasonable prices.
The bill also links the issue of price control to competition. Any investigation of an alleged offence under the Competition Act that is related to gasoline pricing is remitted by the Competition Tribunal to the commission for investigation and a report to the tribunal before it makes a determination or order on the matter.
Every one penny increase in gasoline takes about $375 million out of the economy. This commission will make sure the money is either justified or not.

Competition ActRoutine Proceedings
3:35 p.m.
Rose-Marie Ur Liberal Lambton—Middlesex, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-221, an act to amend the Competition Act (illegal trade practices).
Mr. Speaker, the bill would amend the Competition Act by creating an offence for manufacturers and distributors of motor vehicles and farm equipment to engage in certain marketing practices with their dealers. In most cases franchise agreements provide that a dealer shall not carry any other line or "dual" without the written permission of the manufacturer. In practice that permission is rarely forthcoming.
The consequences of this restrictive arrangement are that the dealer's investment in one line of motor vehicles or farm equipment may substantially exceed the investment actually required to efficiently supply the sales and servicing demands faced by a particular dealer in his or her market.
By allowing the dealer to offer one or more new lines of new motor vehicles or farm equipment I believe the bill would produce two positive results. First, the investment of the dealer would be utilized more efficiently and effectively and, second, the public in the dealer's market would be better served.
I urge all members to support the bill for the benefit of Canada's business community.

Don Boudria Liberal Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, I move that the first report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, presented to the House on Friday, March 1, be concurred in.
Committees Of The HouseRoutine Proceedings
3:35 p.m.
Bob Ringma Reform Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I understand the motion before us is a debatable motion and therefore I would like to offer the following in debate.
If adopted by the House, the motion would establish the membership of the standing joint committee of the House. The Reform Party does not oppose the membership of any of the committees, but we do oppose the way the committees have been run over the first session of the 35th Parliament.
We have every reason to believe that there is nothing likely to change in this regard during the second session. The main question we are asking here is why this love-in between the Liberal benches and the Bloc Quebecois. We cannot answer that question. That is why we have taken the route to have a debate on the matter to expose some of the problems we see.
This situation is particular galling when it comes to the public accounts committee of the House which can be chaired and is chaired by a member of the opposition. In spite of our efforts we have found that the Liberal benches have deliberately contrived to have that chair taken by the Bloc Quebecois.
We have nothing against the individual members of the Bloc Quebecois. They are competent, professional people. What we have against it is that they are separatists. They want to divorce Quebec from Canada and we as federalists say this is wrong. It is wrong for the government benches to be saying yes, let they have all the vice-chairs, particularly the chair of the public accounts committee.
This is being done, led by the chief government whip, in spite of some of the quotes from the Prime Minister. In January 1994 he said: "I know very well that if members of the official opposition keep talking about separation and constitutional problems they are not living up to why they are here".
More recently he also said: "My blood is boiling when I see those separatists in front of me because I fought them all my life". The Globe and Mail quotes the Prime Minister as admitting that he would rather have the Reform Party leader as his official opponent. It was one of the few times that the Prime Minister has been so publicly clear about his displeasure over the powerful separatist role in Parliament. The words of the Prime Minister obviously do not square with the actions of his party, led by the chief government whip.
During the first session we attempted to bring these concerns to the attention of the House through various points of order. Each time our concerns fell on deaf ears. The Speaker's refusal to entertain our points of order has left us in a catch 22.
When we raised questions about the election of committee chairs and vice-chairs at the committee, we were told the Liberals were simply backing the Bloc because it was tradition. We have then been summarily dismissed by the Liberal majority. This leaves us with no choice but to take the issue up as points of order in the House. Having done that, they have all been summarily dismissed to date. We have been on this merry-go-round for two years and our members are frustrated. One can tell by the look on their faces that they have had it.
It is important for me to clarify once again that this frustration is not personal but is professional. Reform members are frustrated not for themselves but for the vast majority of Canadians who support a united country yet cannot have their views adequately represented in the committee hierarchy because of the persistent, unexplainable love-in between the government and the Bloc Quebecois.

Paul Szabo Liberal Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. The member raised an issue which is completely contradictory to the ruling of the Chair with regard to the position of the official opposition. Given the ruling by the Chair as to who constitutes the official opposition, the rules of procedure and the House rules clearly state the provisions with regard to chairs and vice-chairs of committees. The member clearly is arguing a matter which is challenging the ruling of the Chair and contrary to the standing orders.

The Deputy Speaker
With great respect to the member for Mississauga South, I think the matter he is raising is one of debate. However, when the member for Nanaimo-Cowichan uses words like "summarily dismissed" it seems they are a veiled reflection that the Chair did not rule carefully on the matter. I ask him to avoid terms in further remarks that suggest the Chair was not doing its job.
Committees Of The HouseRoutine Proceedings
3:45 p.m.
Bob Ringma Reform Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
The summary dismissal I was talking of was on the part of the government benches and not of the Chair. Incidentally it may be clear that I simply do not accept the last argument put forward either.
From day one of the 35th Parliament the Liberals have displayed a total lack of regard for the legitimate election process by blindly backing the Bloc candidates while under the watchful eye of the government whip. In election after election of committees we have seen Liberals dismiss qualified Reform candidates. This trend has continued into the second session.
For example, on February 29th the procedure and House affairs committee held its organizational meeting for the purpose of electing a chair and two vice-chairs. At that meeting my Reform colleagues and I again attempted to secure the opposition vice-chair position. During the election process last week not one Liberal member attempted to determine which candidate was best
qualified for the post. There were no questions about the candidates background or character, only the same tired arguments we have heard for more than two years.
The main argument put forward by the Liberal whip in defence of his unabashed support of separatists over federalists is one of tradition. According to the chief government whip it is parliamentary tradition for the opposition vice-chair to be filled by a member from the official opposition. To hear the government whip argue this point one would think the practice of electing an opposition vice-chair goes back hundreds of years. This is simply not the case.
Standing Order 106(2) governs the election process and in part states:
Each standing or special committee shall elect a Chairman and two Vice-Chairmen, of whom two shall be Members of the government party and the third a Member in opposition to the government.
No reference to official opposition; simply opposition. This standing order came into effect only in May of 1991, not five years ago. Later that month the committees were established and held elections for chairs and vice-chairs. During those elections a member of the NDP, the third party in the House at that time, was elected the vice-chair of the Standing Committee on Human Rights and the Status of Disabled Persons. A reading from the minutes of that meeting of May 29, 1991 will help illustrate my contention that this position is not reserved for the official opposition. Following the election of Dr. Bruce Halliday to the chair he stated:
I believe the new standing orders call for two Vice-Chairmen, one of whom shall be from an opposition party.
Notice the chair referred to an opposition party, not the official opposition.
I will quote from the same chair moments later: "We need a second vice-chairman who should be somebody from one of the opposition parties". The minutes of that meeting then indicate the member for Beaches-Woodbine, a representative from the third party, the NDP, was elected opposition vice-chair.
The minutes of this meeting clearly counter Liberal arguments. They demonstrate a precedent and show this practice has been in effect only since May of 1991. Further research shows that since this standing order was adopted in the third and last session of the 34th Parliament there was only one round of elections. That is because the committee chair and vice-chair appointments from the initial election of May 1991 were continued until the dissolution of that Parliament through a motion adopted by the House on September 21, 1992. The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines tradition as a custom, opinion or belief handed down to posterity; an established practice or custom. Given the evidence I have just laid out it is clear the Liberal claim of tradition is faulty at best. The only tradition is the one the Liberals are creating and have been creating these last couple of years, and it is a dangerous one.
I also believe it is important for unity minded Canadians to know which Liberals are supporting separatists over federalists. We will continue to keep count. At the meeting of procedure and House affairs last week, which I referred to earlier in my speech, the following government members rejected a federalist in favour of a separatists: the members for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, Mississauga West, Kingston and the Islands, Ottawa Centre, Ottawa-Vanier, Ottawa West and Edmonton North. So listen in, Canadian public, to your members who are supporting a separatist vice-chair.
I will have to throw in another little bit to illustrate some of the intrigue that goes on in committees when they are electing chairs. Committees are masters of their own fate. For example, their members can agree to a secret ballot. We have proposed secret ballots in these committees to give the Liberal backbenchers who might be inclined to support a Reform vice-chair a chance to vote without incurring the wrath of their whip or their leader.
On every occasion we have proposed a secret ballot it has been rejected and the whip has put his firm hand on the Liberals saying no secret ballot.
What we are talking about is democracy, our ability as an opposition party to function properly within the committees of the House. We are being frustrated in them and we resent it.
I move:
That the motion before the House proposed by the government be amended by deleting all the words after the words "March 1, 1996" and substituting the following: "be not now concurred in, but that it be recommended to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs".

Gilles Duceppe Bloc Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I simply want to make a few comments. Let us go back to the beginning of this Parliament, after the election held on October 25, 1993, because some discussions took place between the parties at that time.
I want to tell you about two statements that were made back then. One was to the effect that the Bloc Quebecois was coming to Ottawa to impede the proceedings of Parliament. However, as we have seen for a little over two years now, those who are guilty of filibustering are not Bloc members, but Reformers.
Since the very beginning, we have complied, rather closely I would say, with British parliamentary tradition. To be sure, our views differ from those of the Liberal Party. However, we agree to play by the rules. This is obvious to me, and I should point out that Quebec's National Assembly, which is the oldest parliament in
America, agreed to follow the same rules as the British Parliament as early as 1791.
I also want to say that I participated in the negotiations that took place between the parties to bring some changes in this House. We tried to settle the issues of office allocation, and Heaven knows how long that took, House agenda, speaking order in the House, as well as committee membership. At that time, the Bloc Quebecois showed that it was very open-minded and said: "Yes, we are prepared to give up a number of vice-chair positions". The Reform Party told us: "We want to provide the chairperson for the public accounts committee and the vice-chairpersons for finance, foreign affairs, national defence, agriculture and trade. Period. We will not accept anything else". How about some apple turnover with that?
This proposal made no sense. And with its "we take that or nothing" position, the Reform Party ended up with nothing, because it did not know how to negotiate.
Now, we are told about a love affair between the Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois. Those who see a love story between the members opposite and the Bloc Quebecois certainly do not follow current politics very closely. Sure, we respect each other, but our views and our goals are certainly different. The only such attempt took place between the hon. member for Sherbrooke and the Reform Party.

Fairway and AWI Honor a Georgia VeteranJanuary 9, 2019 12:00 am
A Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation branch in the Atlanta, Georgia area partnered with the American Warrior Initiative (AWI) to honor a local U.S. veteran. Along with a donation, the Fairway branch held a residential housing "boot camp" to train real estate professionals and mortgage planners on how to best handle the home-purchase needs of active duty military members and veterans.
The honoree at the Atlanta-area event was USAF veteran Derrick Barker Sr., who lacked the resources to pursue his dream of building a handyman business in Atlanta. Fairway, AWI and Ron Rigdon of Ron's Auto Sales in Lawrenceville, Georgia honored Barker with a truck and a $3,000 grant for tools and auto insurance.
Branch manager Mark Moore was delighted to be involved in this great event. He said:
"This event has given me a whole new respect for our Armed Forces and what they sacrifice for us. It also opened my eyes to how important homeownership is to our vets upon their return home. AWI does two amazing things, and they do both exceptionally well: They train real estate agents to help them understand what our vets need during the homebuying process, and they are an awesome charity that gives back 100% to meet the unique needs of each veteran they assist."
Co-founded by Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell, the American Warrior Initiative is a non-profit organization sponsored by Fairway Independent Mortgage. AWI seeks to ease U.S. veterans' transition from military to civilian life.
I am proud to work for a company that does so much to honor those who sacrifice for our country. If I can help answer any questions about VA loans or any other home loan options, please give me a call.Veterans

But that's not enough anymore. As some of you know more than others, I've hit the bottle pretty hard since 2007. 2007 was a banner year, that's for sure, in a bad way. I started hating school, began doubting my writing abilities, and that's when I turned 21. I was never ever a drinker before then, but by God was I determined to make up for that! Summer 2007 saw my first "loch." Now you know why. Yeah, on the surface it was because I placed poorly in a mapping contest, but if you look below that surface, you'll see why such a trivial thing upset me enough for me to alienate my friends and countrymen on #alephone.
Let's not even think about Fall '07, when JUICE started looking like an utter failure, and when I returned home, defeated, after dropping out of college. After finding gainful employment and starting again with Marathon netgames, I found that I had an inexplicably horrible connection, which only cut me off further from this community. My hard-earned cash ceased flowing to video games, software, and other harmless enjoyments related to my experiences here, and ended up pooling in my bank account until I had enough to blow on weeks' worth of liquor. Who doesn't remember my attempts at appearing light-hearted when writing here of bourbon? Well, that was the tip of the iceberg. Liquor replaced meals. Liquor was the driving force behind some of my greatest accomplishments, like the initial design of Visual Mode Lua. Liquor is the only thing that makes JUICEcasts interesting.
Just Found Out was an attempt to channel my frustrated prose from the now-nonexistent outlet of fiction to thoughtful "community commentary." It was warmly received, so much so that I forgot my troubles during the following months, happily plotting my next Declassified Document or Where the Twist Flops or heaven knows what while I daydreamed at my job. I told everyone I was working on a novel (or at least a novella), but it was all smoke and mirrors: I was hoping JFO would be my novel, a novel that bared the soul of this small-yet-lively online meetingplace.
Concurrently, I began to appreciate strange things. I started liking the music of Boredoms, a Japanese noise rock group that I had formerly hated with a passion. I bought books on literary criticism. I started agreeing with people like Moppy, $lave, and Dade. None of these things was me, and none of anything I did at the time helped me write better. As a result, I started imbibing more and more brutally every night; from that came my invasion of the fledgling and harmless INFINITYS forumup board, my utter contempt for "ESB," and, ultimately, the severance of the only fulfilling relationship I had ever experienced in my life. The last point I countered by fabricating an imaginary relationship with "HFS," my "Hot French 'Sister,'" a young woman I had met in France as an exchange student. I even manipulated photos of myself with her for the benefit of my comrades on #alephone.
Things were obviously going out of control already, so when I saw Ari's Marathon Fanfiction, I didn't know what to think. I was a star again! I was both hero and villain! This man knew me better than I knew myself. He had written a work of original fiction while capturing my essence, the shape of my soul, and I had nothing of similar magnitude to show. I truly enjoyed that story. And on #alephone, I used it to promote my completely fake science fiction project, of which most of you have doubtless heard. I paid other users to pretend I had sent them some piece of the manuscript that they might give me real-time feedback on #alephone where other, uninformed persons might get the idea that I was a writer of some caliber. Sadly, this worked.
My thoughts of late, having started again on the apocalyptic work La Mort Le Roi Artu (The Death of King Arthur) and read again and again Derrida's Cogito and the History of Madness, are those of darkness. Something has poisoned me. I can't absolve my recent enthusiasm for Old French of its sinful origins, which lie in a fascination with terseness, compactness, and brevity, in which entire epics are contained in their entirety. I know from Derrida that my silence on all these matters (my lack of a language of Reason, until now) indicates deeper roots in madness. Last weekend I went out with a group of "friends" whose judgment is as poor as mine. I ended up injuring myself seriously under the influence of both alcohol and a woman's charms. The damage, as you might see, is catastrophic.
I'm sorry, let me get to the point: I have to leave.
I can hear this forum's 30,000+ members laughing from all corners of the globe. Who, irons? Leave?! this isn't the "loch" you guys know from before. Those were attempts to connect with a normal life away from here, mere pretensions. This time, I admit that I can't escape. Durandal once told us, "Escape will make me God." What does inability to escape make me? I think it makes me the Devil. I am a destroyer rather than a creator, a corrupt influence on everyone here, everyone everywhere. Who organized CLIQUE? Who put the merge flaw in JUICE? Who placed slate Ball objects in all of the levels in Paradise Lost? Who banned some of the best and brightest people from Pfhorums in 2005 and 2006? Who made a map pack so crude and blunt that it bruised the brains of netgamers until they could no longer appreciate real art like Ryoko's Red Spectrum? Who co-founded SImplici7y? The answer you're looking for in all of these is: me. Now you see why I have to quit.
I'm not just quitting Pfhorums, I'm quitting life. Oh, I'll remain alive, but it will be the vigor of a simple animal, capable only of eating and reproducing, if that. So before I do that, I want to say some things to specific people who have made one difference or other during my four years with you.
- Treellama: I hate you. I have your number, you bastard.
- Ryoko: I'm sorry about Multiplex. I knew it was my worst. But at the same time, sadly, it was my best. I hope TGI:BX can continue without me.
- W'rkncacnter: Remember that time you were helping me test Wizards/AORPG and you were the Fighter in Thunderdome while I was Thief? You jumped to try killing me with a punch, but I stepped aside then stabbed you in the back. I feel like I'm doing that now... I'm sorry man.
- Thermoplyae: I sent the Earth Mother 2 bribe to you via Paypal. I won't quit life until you confirm you've received it. Keep writing. We need more English majors like you.
- Ray: What can I say? Tell HR I miss him and I wish he'd visit me some time in the institution. It gets lonely here. Say hi to Drong too.
- Bridget: I ached for you all four years. "Art collector" indeed.
- BenUrban: I was the one who stole the channel from you. SolraBizna is innocent. Please stop hurting him.
- Grayswandir: I'm sorry I stole the Chilron drawings from you. I thought the world needed to see them.
- Macsforever: I think we could have been friends in another time and place. Fare well, Daniel.
- Gated00d: Don't bother coming to my place. I won't be there. Tell the Woodstock crew I'll miss them.
- MoppyPuppy: Don't let the haters get you down. I believe in you.
- Alan: Don't let Moppy get you down.
- Slypher: You are a queer.
- Forrest: I really wanted to tell you I loved you, but I never found the right words. I guess these will have to stand as a testament to my failure. Forever.
- Appleswitch: Be proud to be a Texan. I once was. No more. (Someone pass this along to him so he can read it before 2009 ends)
- Envy: I was wrong. Use Pfhorge. There is great power in its source code. It is your mission to unlock this power by pushing the limit.
- Hawkeye: You can't really believe I hated you. You were like a father to me.

CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan has been a force up top for the LA Galaxy for many years, but with the club signing a pair of burly center forwards in the offseason, Donovan is coming to terms with the fact that his role may be in the midfield in 2014.
Donovan returned to the club—along with teammate Omar Gonzalez—on Thursday after spending the month of January with the U.S. National Team and going a full 90 minutes in their 2-0 victory over Korea Republic at StubHub Center. Three days later, both players were thrown back into circulation starting and going 45 minutes in LA's 2-1 victory over FC Shirak.
"I feel great. I feel sharp and fit and excited to get back and get started playing some games," said Donovan earlier in the week. "[I'm] probably a little bit ahead of everybody as far as fitness and stuff, but it's nice. Omar and I are happy to be back here and ready to play."
But Donovan returns to a club that has changed greatly since their Western Conference Semifinal exit to Real Salt Lake last November. With the additions of target forwards Rob Friend and Samuel as well as right midfielder Stefan Ishizaki, Donovan is expected to move from forward, where he made 14 of his 21 regular season starts in 2013.
But the 31-year-old is no stranger to the midfield position having started out wide seven times for the Galaxy in 2013 while also playing primarily on the wing for the U.S. National Team. Against FC Shirak, Donovan was placed out on the left flank, combining frequently with Samuel and Friend during a hectic first half.
"I can play wherever I'm needed. But it would be nice to have some other guys take some pressure off. Those guys seem eager and hungry to make an impact," said Donovan. "I think when you look at some of the qualities we have on our team you would expect that I would play at midfield to some extent. But if there's times in the year I play forward that's fine too."
Following his first game in the lineup with Donovan, Samuel was giddy about the prospects of playing alongside the U.S. international.
"I think he's a great player. He's obviously known around the world," said Samuel. "Up top I was prepared knowing that he can give a great pass and that I need to be ready to score."
But no matter where he plays, Donovan expects team-wide improvement in 2014.
"A lot of our young guys are progressing, so more than ever I think there's going to be a lot of competition," said Donovan. "We have fewer games, which helps. We have no excuses why we can't do well this year."

Sandoval batting fifth in lineup after breather
DENVER -- Pablo Sandoval came into Colorado after a day of rest Sunday and was ready to take a rejuvenated approach in a new spot in the lineup.
"He knew he was getting the day yesterday," manager Bruce Bochy said of Sandoval's status. "He was very upbeat in the dugout. The pitcher's spot was coming up at the end. If it did, he would have hit. He should be good to go today. I just think he needed a break, mentally as much as anything yesterday."
The struggling third baseman was hitting .171 (12-for-70) on the season entering the series opener with the Rockies. But Coors Field is a prodigious slump buster, and Sandoval matches up well against Monday's starter Jorge De La Rosa over the course of his career, hitting him at a .324 (11-for-34) clip.
Sandoval's numbers aren't as high one might expect at a hitter's haven like Coors Field. He owns a .245 (38-for-155) average in 40 games, but project his eight home runs and 25 RBIs over the course of a full season, and his numbers add up to a more dangerous output than he's ever compiled in a full season.
"He has [done well here]," Bochy said of Sandoval. "Most of the parks we play in are pitchers' parks in our division, except for here and Arizona."
Bochy moved Sandoval from his customary spot in the three-hole and is batting him fifth for the first time this season in hopes of getting more relaxed at-bats from his third baseman.

As world leaders pour in to Rio de Janeiro for the UN's Sustainable Development Summit civil society, business and governments are making commitments that will make a difference, according to IUCN's Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre.
So where exactly are these commitments coming from.
One of the highlights of the event have been the Sustainability Dialogues, which for the first time opened up the UN system to civil society and business inviting participants here and around the world to have their say on key issues.
So, even as we wait for the deal to be ratified by governments, there's still a sense of mobilisation here in Rio that builds upon the original Earth Summit of 20 years ago.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is sending another letter in support of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would deliver oil from Canada to refineries along the Gulf Coast.
Walker addressed the letter Thursday to Secretary of State John Kerry urging the project's approval. The letter is similar to one he sent in April and comes after the State Department found the pipeline would have little impact on the environment.
Walker says the pipeline would create up to 9,000 jobs in Wisconsin over 20 years.
The Obama Administration has delayed a decision on the pipeline for years. Environmentalists and some landowners oppose the project, while oil companies and the Canadian government support it.

I would like to show you my recent MOC for Garheim LC8 - The Things of Nightmares
LCC-Garheim-LC8 The Woods of Pain
Behind the hills of Mikithdar in the near of the Lesser Driftplains, there is a uncharted forest. The tales about this forest are extremly scary. Some say nobody who entered this forest came back. Nobody knows what lives within this area. The name of this forest is "the Woods of Pain"
On a journey through Garheim Svea unluckily reached the border of the Woods of Pain. She didn't know how this was possible. On her map this is forest far far away...

I hope you like it.
