McCRORIE, James
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man's a Man for a' that:
For a' that, and a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that.
- Robbie Burns
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of James Napier McCrorie on November 17, 2013. Jim (though always James to his mother) was born in Montreal Quebec in 1936 to Thomas and Margaret McCrorie, immigrants from Scotland. Jim is survived by his beloved wife and best friend Elaine (nee Cameron), and his children and their spouses whom he loved: Ian, Ann (Alistair Mackenzie), and Aaron (Carmen Abela). Jim was the very proud and loving grandfather of Nicole, Liam, Jenna, Kennedy. Reuben and Keira. An only child, he gained a clan-ful of siblings through the Camerons of Moore Park Manitoba – Don and Joyce Cameron, Niel and Marianne Cameron, Jean and Leo Kristjanson, Hector and Leonora Cameron. He is fondly remembered by all his nieces, nephews, dear friends and comrades of all ages and those who have described him as a second father.
Growing up in Montreal, Jim learned to speak joual and remained proud throughout his life of his ability to speak the working man's French. He became a life long fan of the Habs and taught us all that Maurice "the Rocket" Richard was the greatest hockey player ever. Montreal remained dear to his heart throughout his life. Growing up he also learned to play the piano, and while he regretted that lessons and practice kept him from mischief with his pals, we all appreciated the magic his playing brought to many occasions.
All who knew Jim, will remember his love of the sea and trains. He came by it honestly – sailing across the Atlantic to visit his "ain falk" in Ayrshire at 16, working in the dining cars for CP Rail after high school and proudly serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. Throughout his life Jim would take the train while others would fly or drive and he had just booked his next big trip, Ottawa to Melville, when he passed away.
Jim studied sociology at McGill University and got his doctorate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The opportunity to work with the Saskatchewan Farmers Union brought this city boy to the prairies which he came to love and provided the subject of his doctoral thesis – "In Union is Strength". It was while working in Saskatoon that Jim's friend and colleague Leo Kristjanson introduced him to Elaine Cameron. She eventually forgave Leo and married Jim in 1964 with a memorable reception at the Wright farm south of Saskatoon. Thanks to their love for each other (and Elaine's patience) they enjoyed almost 50 years of happy marriage.
The chance to help build a new and teaching-centric program brought Jim to the newly established University of Regina in 1965. It was in Regina that Jim and Elaine raised their family – with two memorable yearlong sojourns in Scotland. As a father Jim instilled an appreciation of honest hard work, love of life and family and a social conscience in his children. And while life was busy he always found time to watch the kids play hockey, volleyball or football. The outcome did not matter, it was the effort that mattered. And as a grandfather Jim continued to teach these lessons and adored spending time with all of his grandchildren.
Jim combined a love of teaching and academia with the passion and conviction to change the world. For Jim, social activism and teaching were inseparable efforts to make the world a better, more socially and economically just place. There were victories and defeats, but the progressive struggle continued – in the classroom, through distance education and on the NDP convention floor. And where Jim wasn't active, those he taught and mentored were.
As an academic, Jim took a particular interest in the social effects of North Sea oil development, the life and career of Scotland's Roderick MacFarquar ("The Highland Cause") and the experience of Canada's Spanish Civil War vets. Jim was among those who played a leading role in establishing the Spanish Civil War memorial in Ottawa.
In the 1980′s, Jim took a break from teaching and became Director of the Canadian Plains Research Center. The job combined his deep love of the prairies with the opportunity to continue learning and teaching by reaching out to similar social and ecological regions as far flung as Nebraska and Kazakhstan. Jim finally retired in 1996, but remained active intellectually ("The Man in the Green Truck"), politically and socially.
Jim loved to talk with, not to, everyone. No matter where you came from, what you did, or how old you were he wanted to hear your story and learn from you. And while he was passionate in his convictions, he was respectful of those who viewed the world differently. Red-Clyde Marxists, Spanish Civil War vets, musicians, wary teenagers and former Progressive Conservative cabinet ministers were all welcome at the McCrorie dinner table.
Jim loved to tell stories, sometimes more than once. And he had a great sense of mischief and fun. Supper time, hogmanay, the Brigadier's lunch, family reunions, visits and all those other occasions that Jim loved so much will sadly be a touch more sedate without his stories, gentle jokes and infectious laugh.
We loved Jim and he will be missed. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Dr. Paul Schwann Centre's Cardiac Rehabilitation and Chronic Disease Prevention, Management and Risk Reduction Program at the University of Regina (3737 Wascana Parkway, Regina, SK S4S 0A2) or the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives (500-251 Bank Street, Ottawa, ON K2P 1X3).
Family and friends are invited to sign the online obituary and tributes page at www.regina-memorial.ca. Arrangements entrusted to – See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/montrealgazette/obituary.aspx?n=james-mccrorie&pid=168122304#sthash.YvwW1aLR.dpuf
It was a very sad moment to hear of Jim's passing.
Jim was truly a mentor to all of us who had the privilege of being his friend through his life.
As young students he taught us what radical sociology and critical thinking were all about. Jim reflected the struggles of people from the crofters of Scotland, to the farmers of Canada as social movements for us to learn from, and to appreciate as people's histories.
With a wry Jim McCrorie smile and humour, he would tell us what really happened in the governance of the land from Tommy Douglas to today.
He was unremitting in his socialism – but with a Scottish pragmatism – looking at outcome as well as theory.
Jim was an inside out person. He lived what he believed – never forgetting his class background – recognizing the education of many to understand the economic and social forces that shape us… as the road to a better world.
Thanks Jim for what you gave us. And as you said and wrote ..In Union Is Strength. Viva Jim!

I find that for good potatoes you need to plant them quite low down in whatever container you are using, and as the leaves grow, cover them up again, also, don;t be scared to chop off the tops that are poking out as this will encourage the roots to grow outwards instead of upwards (creating bigger potatoes!) hope they work out ok x

JE: One UCLA player who I'm guessing your familiar with is Malcolm Lee, who's from your hometown of Riverside. Have you spent much time with him and what are your impressions of him as a player? RM: I haven't met him, but I've watched his game. There were so many question marks about his game. Is he a defensive player? Is he a scorer? And the one thing Ben Howland has always done is defined roles and I think Malcolm has accepted his role. I haven't had a chance to speak to him, but I love the way he brings the intensity and gets everyone involved. I think they should make the tournament regardless of what their outcome is in the conference tournament. I'm hoping. You never know though.Reggie Miller excited for college broadcasting debut

Advice: On internet flirting & kissing at a weddingPosted: January 16, 2014 Filed under: Sex & The Ummah | Tags: advice, advice column, American love stories, american muslims, dating, internet flirting, love, Love InshAllah, love stories, marriage, Ms. Sunshine, Muslim love, Muslim men, PDA, relationships, Salaam Love, Salaam Love Writers, Shy Desi Boy 2 Comments
Dear Love, InshAllah:
There's this Muslim guy I met a few times through work. He messages me and we chat for a few days, then he vanishes. He says we should meet up but never makes a plan. Is he just stringing me along? Should I block and delete him and move on? I'm not interested in pursuing something that will not culminate in marriage. I should mention that I am no longer in my 20s.
Is he stringing me along?

Advice: I didn't say yesPosted: December 26, 2013 Filed under: Sex & The Ummah | Tags: advice, advice column, American love stories, american muslims, love, Love InshAllah, marriage, Ms. Sunshine, Muslim love, Muslim men, Muslim relationships, Muslim women, Shy Desi Boy 16 Comments
Dear Love, InshAllah:
I am 29 years old and am under a lot of pressure from my parents to get married. My parents are very conservative. We never spoke about girls, so there was never an opportunity for me to find out what girl they would like for me nor I was able to tell them my thoughts on what I was looking for.
Through a few social contacts of my parents, we met a few families who were looking for a match for their daughters. On a couple of occasions, I liked the girl but my parents did not.
About 3 months ago, my parents and I went to meet another family. The girl was not what I was looking for and I planned to tell my parents immediately after the meeting. I was surprised that my mom insisted on the girl, even using emotional pressure (my mom would say stuff like she feels very lonely, is not feeling well these days, etc.) The pressure was so intense that I was not able to say no – but I did not say yes either.
After a few days, my mom said yes to the family and our engagement was fixed. I was shocked and upset. About 2 months have passed since our engagement, and now the marriage ceremony (nikah) date is planned too. I've discussed this with a couple of friends, but they say nothing can be done now.
I do not want to go through with this marriage but I feel I cannot be straightforward as I don't want to hurt the girl's feelings or those of her parents or my mom. What should I do?
I didn't say yes

Advice: In Love With a PolytheistPosted: October 24, 2013 Filed under: Sex & The Ummah | Tags: advice, advice column, American love stories, american muslims, Islam, love, Love InshAllah, love stories, marriage, Ms. Sunshine, Muslim love, Muslim men, Muslim relationships, Muslim women, Salaam Love Writers, Shy Desi Boy 12 Comments
Dear Love Inshallah,
I have been dating a man for a few years now and we've been discussing marriage. However, he is of a polytheistic faith. Although he is liberal in his practice, he has a strong belief in God. We have not had any problems with faith interrupting our relationship, since we have the same morals and values and we have been blessed to be very compatible and loving towards one another. He is also very active in taking part in my religious activities, since he is quite aware that I am a practicing (semi-liberal) Muslim.
We have agreed on a nikkah (in addition to other South Asian cultural events). He has also agreed to "convert". This is where the problem starts to occur. He wants to be able to practice both religions, but will always have his way of worship in his heart, even when "practicing" Islam with me. We have also decided that the children will be taught to practice the Islamic faith in our home. Therefore, is there really a point in him taking the shahada? Isn't it still zina after marriage, since the marriage is not seen as "valid"? And will he be seen as a shirk, which is said to be completely "unforgivable" in Islam?
I have been lucky enough to have had exposure to different religious events (i.e. church services, pujas, etc.) growing up, so I have no problem attending and respecting his family's customs and beliefs. I know God is the most gracious and merciful, but are we going down the wrong path?
In Love with a Polytheist

Dear Love InshAllah,
I was in a relationship for ten years, engaged for three and married for seven. My husband was older than me and had a very checkered past, which I found attractive when I was younger. But slowly I grew up and he stayed a child.
When we got married he was physically abusive and it took me years to get him to accept it. He then thought that because he accepted that it was abuse, that he wasn't doing it any more and when I was offer him detailed evidence, he started to tell me I was paranoid and crazy, just a bitchy feminist. He started to realize I am smarter than him as well, and while the physical abuse declined, the psychological abuse escalated.
Just before Ramadan, I finally had the courage to end it. I fell out of love with him a long time ago and even started to fantasize about killing him. I hated sex, and was in a constant state of misery that I started taking out on everyone around me. When it finally ended I felt like I had been given a second chance at life.
I am 28 and starting over, but discouraged because I did love being married, and even though my marriage was bad, I am so lonely. I was with him for my entire adult life so far, and I come from a background of abuse and illness, my marriage took a heavy toll on my finances, and as a Muslim (since I was 13) I am progressive, an LGBTQ ally, and a critical theologian. I am very smart and have a lot of life experience, and I don't feel like I have a problem with confidence, but I am afraid I won't be able to find a man that would want someone like me.
I know that I need time to recover, it has been two months, thankfully I have no children, but what I feel and what I know can't agree. I find myself fixating on sex most of all, but in general just feel so alone. I was so unhappy for so long, and I just want to move on and restart my life, but I am also afraid that I won't be able to find anyone who wants a woman with a past and scars, which are ugly on the surface, but can create something beautiful. I am afraid there aren't any good men. That I will have to somehow stay unhappy, unfulfilled, because that's just the way life is. I don't feel it is in my nature to be alone. I know I need time, and that I will change – I have changed so much in the past two months – and can get my life in order.
But what if my fears are right, and what if that isn't enough, and how do I even make it that far?

Advice: Dating a woman with a pastPosted: August 22, 2013 Filed under: Sex & The Ummah | Tags: advice, advice column, american muslims, love, Love InshAllah, Ms. Sunshine, Muslim love, Muslim men, Muslim relationships, Muslim women, Salaam Love Writers, sex, sexuality, Shy Desi Boy 13 Comments
Dear Love, InshAllah:
I've met a girl I really like. We have been good friends for a while. She and I are both Muslims, both born in a Muslim country, but raised in America. I really like her however, she had (relatively) many sexual relations prior to meeting me. She has never been married. In fact, she never even dated the guys she had sex with – they were just flings and so forth. I know that this is common in many cultures, but when you are from a background that doesn't approve of this it doesn't make much sense to me as to why she would have done this.
Obviously, she says she regrets it all. But I don't know what to do. I really like her and would like a future with her, but her decisions make me conflicted. Most the time I feel at peace with her, but there are times I feel angry, upset, and hateful. The root of the feelings are obvious. I just don't know what to do.

Car makers can't compete without assistance: BowenPUBLISHED: 13 Jul 2013 00:33:58 | UPDATED: 13 Jul 2013 00:33:58PUBLISHED: 13 Jul 2013 PRINT EDITION: 13 Jul 2013
Gemma Daley
Treasurer Chris Bowen, a self-professed free market proponent, says local car manufacturers need assistance to compete in a global market but disputed suggestions Holden had asked for more government handouts.
Mr Bowen said Industry Minister Kim Carr would continue to negotiate with Holden about further assistance, but disputed that the company had asked for an extra $265 million on top of the $275 million it had already received.
"I heard the industry minister talk about this figure yesterday and this wasn't a figure he'd seen in his work on this project, so obviously he is in contact with Holden, and car manufacturing is important to us," Mr Bowen said on Friday.
"I understand industry support for car manufacturing is controversial. But I also understand that with the high levels of subsidy and protection for car manufacturing around the world, you do need to take steps to ensure car manufacturing has important flow-on effects through our economy [and] provides a whole other range of other jobs."We'll keep talking to Holden about their challenges, about their needs."
A split reopened on the Coalition frontbench this week on whether to provide assistance to the troubled automotive sector. On Thursday, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and industry spokeswoman Sophie Mirabella strengthened their rhetoric supporting the sector, but shadow treasurer Joe Hockey questioned ongoing help.
Ford announced in May it would close its Australian operations in 2016, with the loss of an estimated 1200 jobs, because of the failure of efforts to make the plants profitable and sustainable.
Senator Carr told The Australian Financial Review this week that Australia was a "high cost" economy and manufacturing needed help, including a 45 per cent tax offset, to transition into a high-skilled and competitive sector.
The number of registrations for the offset is rising; some 4500 companies, mainly manufacturers, claimed more than $1.3 billion in refundable tax offsets in 2011-12.
"We need to improve our performance – it's about changing the culture and encouraging businesses to invest in themselves," Senator Carr said.
"That's what the tax incentive is aimed at – changing attitudes and demonstrating the value in investing in themselves."

10 Social Media Trends for Summer 2014
Posted on May 13th 2014
1. Vine
Vine has slowly but surely crept its way into the social media world. When Instagram introduced video, it looked like Vine wasn't going to last very long. Instead, the wittiness of the 6-second videos brought users back to the app again and again. Brands such as Dunkin Donuts caught on and started to produce quick, entertaining video ads using the app. Thanks to the cleverness of Viners and short attention span of users, the app has become a successful way of marketing. Its platform integration has been improved, so Vines are easily shared on Twitter and Tumblr. Five tweets every second include a Vine link. The emergence of "vine celebrities" and real life celebrities (like Kylie Jenner and Ellen) creating vines further proves that Vine is only going to get more popular. Vine also recently made browsing videos available to the public (even for those without an account).
2. Emerging Technology
Inventions like Google Glass, Oculus Rift, the Samsung Smart Watch, and the Nod Bluetooth Ring seem like Jetson-esque products unlikely to be consumed in our lifetimes. But technology is moving at warp speed, and these products are becoming a reality. With Google testing the waters by making Google Glass available for purchase for one day to the general public, it's looking like we're very close to new ways to view social media. All Google Glass up for sale was sold out within hours.
3. Location, Location, Location
Facebook has been working hard to make location services an important feature. Foursquare was successful for a while, rewarding customers for "checking in" and seeing where friends have visited. New competitors such as Swarm have entered the playing field on location-sharing apps. Facebook very recently introduced the "Nearby Friends" application, where users can choose to share their current location in real time to friends. Facebook can then build a database of places you've visited and no longer requires a manual check-in. The jury's still out on whether this is a little too "Big Brother" for Facebook users or not. Either way, get ready for even more vacation envy.
4. Video Content on Instagram
Just because Vine is gaining popularity doesn't mean that InstaVideo is unsuccessful. Instagram allows longer and edited video to be uploaded, which lets brands create ads and lifestyle videos for their pages. Retailers have taken advantage of this by featuring creative content displaying the culture of their brand instead of static ads. With Instagram already competing with the top social media giants in terms of marketing, it's a preferable platform for sharing content.
5. Hashtags
Hashtags aren't going anywhere. With integration across Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Google Plus, and now Facebook, hashtags have become the way to express and search for content. Brands are creating their own catchy tags that users can use, creating a conversation about their products, without creating a feeling of being too marketing-heavy. New tags trend and spike every day, and this summer will be no different.
6. Social Searches
Both Facebook and Google + have increased the importance placed on social search. Facebook's "grid" feature is being rolled out; this allows users to search with very specific terms (e.g. interests, favorite movies, etc.). Meanwhile Google+ uses its +1 feature and integration with Google searches to place Google plus posts higher in rankings. Users are more likely to click on links suggested by someone they know instead of faceless corporations. It may be helpful on some resort recommendations.
7. Native Advertising
Almost all of the social media platforms have now integrated native advertising in one form or another. Now ads come up in users' feeds, making click-through a more organic experience. Even popular sites like Buzzfeed have integrated ads into their pages. Native advertising requires the ad to be more like content, so users are will be intrigued enough to click on the ad. Even Tumblr — which has declined to spam users in the past — has moved towards a cleaner "sponsored post," which feels less invasive than old-school ads.
8. Lifestyle Content
Posts on social media by brands have become less about selling product and more about selling what brands stand for. Selling a lifestyle instead of individual products makes creating creative content easier. This summer, expect brands to incorporate many types of media in social media posts. For example, retailer Urban Outfitters has been very successful with its #MusicMonday blog posts, where they offer customers a free playlist download.
9. Better Mobile Design
The way people view their social media platforms has taken a dramatic shift towards mobile. As of February 2013, 37% of time spent online was on mobile devices. The average person checks his/her phone at least 110 times a day. That number only increases with the smart phone takeover across cell phone markets. This development has caused brands and platforms to scramble to creating cleaner website designs that translate to mobile. The introduction of iOS7 forced app developers to rethink the way that their apps present themselves on mobile devices. Consequently, it'll be that much easier to check your feeds while sitting on the beach.
10. Influencers and Collaborations
Collaborating with other brands and pages has led to success for many brands on social media. Branching off of lifestyle content ideas, gaining celebrity endorsement has become a necessary evil for many high-end brands. Sometimes celebs can be unpredictable, but when endorsements are done successfully, they can be extremely beneficial for a brand. For example, eos lipbalms made an appearance in Miley Cyrus's music video. EOS now has 115k followers on Twitter, multiple celebrity endorsements (like Kim Kardashian), and has become a pop-culture phenomenon.

DANVILLE — The Danville Area Community College women's basketball team started the second half strong with a nice run to cut into a 51-29 deficit, but the bigger Vincennes University team took back control of the game and kept a large lead throughout for a 96-63 win Tuesday at Mary Miller Gym.
"I thought we had a nice run in the second half but we just weren't physical enough to maintain a run," DACC coach Kyle Bent said.
DACC started slow with turnovers and easily missed shots in the onset of the game and this allowed Vincennes to build its big halftime lead.
"I thought we started flat with a lack of enthusiasm and we did not follow the game plan that we set forth during pre-game," Bent said.
Kameren Cole had 16 points to lead DACC while Caelen Jones and Megan Hiner each had eight points, Sierra Honeycutt and Shelby Haaggard each had seven points and Kayton Cole added six.
The lady Jaguars played from behind to a more physical Vincennes team, who was led by Nicole Dodd's 23 points, AShley Hawkins had 19 points, Anais Kirvan had 18 and Anya Kalenta added 15.
DACC travels to John A. Logan College in Carterville for a two day tournament Friday and Saturday.

Julie Batten | August 31, 2009 | Comments
Google continues to ride the innovation train across its other product lines and offerings. Here's a snapshot of some developments.
The Microsoft Bing-Yahoo partnership has really shaken up the search world. And there is perhaps no company that this pending deal stands to impact more than Google.
That said, many in this industry have postured that Google has nothing to worry about and will continue dominating even if it does nothing to combat this competitive threat. But it seems like Google is feeling the need to innovate and reinforce its leadership in the space.
After what seems years of relative sameness (whether this is perception or reality), everything is either "new" or "improved" on the Google front these days. And they certainly want everyone to know it.
For example, take the recently released beta of Google's next-generation search infrastructure, code-named Google Caffeine. In the official post on the Google Webmaster blog, there's a call to developers to test out the beta version and provide feedback on the functionality and the differences between it and the "current" Google.
Visually, there isn't much difference on the front-end. But it appears the back-end is being redeveloped. As popular blogger and Googler Matt Cutts put it in his post on Caffeine, the changes are primarily all under the hood.
In a video interview done by WebProNews, Cutts elaborated, saying that Google is basically rewriting or re-architecting a large portion of its indexing code. He said it's quite a big update to the infrastructure, comparing it to the late 2005 "Big Daddy" update.
Despite the sizeable scale of the update, he said most site owners wouldn't notice a big change in their search results or rankings. Basically, the change will be on the users' end -- the goal is for Google Caffeine to be much more powerful, flexible, and robust that the Google we know today.
In the interview, Cutts also refuted claims that Google has come up with this update in light of the recent happenings in the industry -- namely, the pending Bing-Yahoo partnership. Cutts said this has been happening for months. However, seeing that Google's last major update to its index was almost four years ago, the timing seems a little too convenient.
Whatever the case, it's doing the trick -- optically, Google is seen as an innovator, and functionally, its users are going to get a better search engine.
In addition to the Caffeine update, Google has been busy enhancing many other related areas of its business.
Google Labs has seen some new and interesting additions come in recent succession in the past couple months:
Google Insights for Search has also seen some recent improvements. Aside from the fact that it's now available in 39 different languages, new features include:
Google continues to ride the innovation train across its other product lines and offerings, including:
With all of these changes on the horizon, no one can claim with a lot of muster that Google isn't innovating. It has effectively asserted its commitment to ongoing improvement and its dedication to their core business. So now who should be scared?

Alas, the Filenes in my neighbourhood as been in "everything must go" mode for a while – however the store is a complete mess. Mayhap stores in the city (as opposed to our urban location) will be better organized and less messy. Good luck!
So sad about Filenes. Extremely interested in the Ebay/Rebecca Minkoff collaboration. I love her stuff. Love the video,hope I find CLs book under the Christmas tree this year lol
Not feeling Paula as a cover girl model. I think they could have went with a better photo. I can't remember the last time I purchased something from Filene's basement that wasn't returned before the 60 day limit…
@sunkissed Please note "could have went" is not correct in the English language. Could have GONE is the proper usage. Just saying!
LOL @ Grammar Police!
I haven't stopped by Filene's in years. I'm sure I haven't been missing out on much, though.
I hate the grammar police. People, it's a comments section not a thesis paper. Anyway, no to Paula Patton.
Big yes to Paula as a cover girl. Big no to the promo shot. I blame CG for that boring photo.
lmao @ grammar police! fckin really?
@Grammar Police, have a seat!
I live in LA, and love Filene's Basement. I need to travel somewhere near a store, preferably Boston or NYC before it's all over. I will definitely miss shopping there.
I couldve sworn they closed before.
That photo shoot was fun, loved the shots. Hmmm I wonder if the Filene's Basement here in DC is worth a shot? A gurl needs to build her professional wardrobe.
Nooooo! Filene's Basement no-o-o :'(""
