Madres Restaurant's new location matches the charm of the original Friendswood eatery, dishing out the same elegant takes on lime-marinated ceviche, sizzling fajitas, and sauce-slathered enchiladas. After finishing off the last bacon-wrapped shrimp brochette, patrons can request that a chef wrap bacon around other Madres offerings, such as buffalo wings or glasses of red wine.
Berryhill Baja Grill continues an 84-year-old culinary tradition begun by Walter Berryhill, who sold his handmade tamales around Houston with nothing but a pushcart, a tortilla press, and his personal recipe. Today, the grill?s tamales pack savory cornmeal and fillings such as beef, pork, and spinach within cornhusks recently liberated from overcrowded cornucopias. Elsewhere on the menu, fish tacos combine tempura-battered fish, special sauce, and cilantro in a hearty corn tortilla, and pollo platters smother grilled chicken breast with affection in the form of poblano peppers and mushrooms?the hugs and joint tax returns of the food world.
Mex Sea Co. owner Ram Aguilera grew up amid the spicy aromas of Tex-Mex cuisine in Corpus Christi. Even as a child, he noted the myriad ways in which Texan chefs paid homage to their Mexican counterparts by blending the two regions' recipes together. Today, he continues the tradition with fresh, local seafood caught along the Texan coast.
Aguilera's recipes are as delicious as they are surprising. Take his fish tacos?a perennial fan favorite packed into housemade corn tortillas?or his arroz con pollo, which he dry-roasts and rubs with ancho peppers. Aguilera and his kitchen staff don't overlook dessert, dusting fried tortillas with cinnamon before serving them alongside a four-piece mariachi band.
The Fish Place's chefs use a simple recipe for all their dishes: fresh seafood and Cajun spices. Of course, there's a lot of variety to be found within those parameters. They boil shellfish in the hearty broths of gumbos and etouffes, and fry up catfish and oysters with hot Cajun flavors. Fish and shrimp are stuffed full of cheese and other delicious tidbits. Most courses are served with Southern-style sides, ranging from the iconic red beans and white rice to hush puppies.

Known for its award-winning margaritas, Don Julio's also wins guests over at several Texas locations with a variety of Mexican specialties, including guacamole made tableside. The chefs take pride in using fresh chicken, housemade chipotle sauce, seafood bought fresh at local Kemah markets, and a hearty amount of beans and avocado to flavor dishes. Entrees take their names from various Mexican cities, such as the Puerto Vallarta—a combination of enchiladas, tacos, tamales, and puffed chili con queso.
Skillets of fajitas sizzle on their way to the dining room's deep booths. Chords from a Spanish guitar spill from the bar as laughs roll out from one of three banquet rooms. On the patio, some 40 tables share their brick-paved pen with a mechanical bull that snarls at passersby and inflatable moonwalks filled with playful children.
Such is a typical evening at Las Rosas Mexican Restaurant, where an unmistakable energy charges the entire facility. The current begins in the kitchen, where each day chefs follow family recipes to churn out handmade tamales, tortillas, and red and green sauces. The vibe then pulses through the dining room, where a white stone fireplace anchors an open space flanked by booths and 13 60-inch TVs that broadcast games and events. The patio hosts alfresco dining and amusements for the young and young-at-heart who aren't afraid to tumble off a carnival ride in public.

4/5 rDev +3.6%
A wonderful hometown midwest kinda place! The atmosphere here is just great! In typical midwest fashion, everybody is real friendly, and down to earth. Bridgette greats you all as "hun" as she merrily fills your pints and grabs your food. There are free peanuts, and shells on the ground. They do have a menu of sandwiches and snacks. My Philly Cheese Steak was pretty good, and Smittyguiness' chili was (apparently) very good as well. The food is not great, but they do not have a full kitchen, so they are doing very well with what they have!
The bar area is not large, I would call it cozy! There's about 6-8 chairs at the bar, three large tables and two small tables. Lots of bare wood (which I like) and decorated with beer paraphenalia, both old an new. There is additional seating actaully in the brewery area, which has been emptied of tanks due to the impending move. Also int this area is the cooler with sixers and singles.
12 taps, three celis, 8 of MBC's normally good and consistent brew, and Poor Richard's Scotch ale, which is very good! Growlers available of course!
If you haven't made it to MBC yet, it'd be worth your time to get over there before they move!

This is ground zero for any and all beer geeks in Michigan. Just a little taphouse in front their brewery, itself a smallish industrial building behind a gas station just off the interstate. The big outdoor fermenters might be mistaken for grain silos. But everyone inside loves their beers and enjoys sharing the love with anyone interested. A generous 12 beers on tap makes for one of the biggest sampler trays I've ever had. Then the manager gave us a tour of the works, and brought out bottles of any beers they didn't have on tap. The Celis is flowing very well there, along with a few contract brands (including a limited edition revival of Sebewaing for Sebewaing Township's 150th anniversary). Great atmosphere with some fine chili being cooked right in the brewhouse, and a barrel of peanuts, which means you just throw your shells on the floor. Plenty of take-home, an outdoor beer garden, and the next building is a homebrew and breweriana shop. If you're traveling anywhere near Lansing, this should be your first choice of beer stops.

The atmosphere is pretty chill, some times the local get annoying, webberville is out in the middle of a cornfield and it shows. I like the beer garden in the summer and the smoke free in door pub is nice, smoker must go out in the brewery.
The quality of service, beer and food is very good.
the selection is usually a good offering. the pub has 12 taps and bottles are also available. the food is limited sandwiches, personal pizzas, soup, chilli, and what they call a beer lunch; which is cheese, sausage, and crackers. the celis beers are always on tap and there normal production beers are also, this leaves about 3 rotating seasonal taps.
there is a nice beer garden in the summer, a smoke free pub, the smokers area has 2 dart boards and some board games.
pints are $3.50
sandwiches $6
beer to-go $8 6pk
growlers $8 refills

This is a great low key brewpub. The atmosphere is always good. There are usually some characters around (ie. social dave, as mentioned in another post) but they are harmless. It is smoke free in the main pub, but they have a smoking room, which is nice so you don't come out reaking of smoke. Beer selection is always pretty good, as there is usually a wide variety of styles. Food is decen pub fare, not knockout but good. Soup is above average, but watch out for the chili, not for the faint of heart as it is very hot! Sevice is usually very good, the staff very knowledgeable. They usually keep the glasses filled, even when it is packed, which it can be on Friday nights. I read in an earlier post that Stacy was working. If it is the Stacy who formerly worked there, which I believe it is, than that is outstanding for the pub that she is back as she knows everything about beer in genral and especially MI beer. Food is The location is a bit odd, but I believe the owners own the whole parcel of land, gas station and all. It's nice having Things Beer next door, great homebrew shop, the staff their is very knowledgeable too and eager to help. One of my favorite places all time. There has been a plan to move the brewery, lets hope it doesn't lose the character and feel that it has now if/when it does.
Cheers to MBC!

It was sad to see MBC move from the previous location, but there is some sense to make of the move. First off, the new place is bigger. The coolers are a nice touch, so it is easy to grab a 6 pack on your way out. But, it just doesn't feel like a bar. I suppose if you got your kicks from pretending to be at an office building, this is the place for you!
The beer is good, especially when it is fresh...but the atmosphere is lacking. Bring back the peanuts on the floor and the beer garden! I need 6 more words to make this 500 characters:)

Beer = Good
Food = Pretty bad
Service/Atmosphere = Real bad
As a native Michigander I was excited to try this place on a recent visit. It's in the middle of no where. You walk in and there are some cool things - the coolest is a room set up museum style with old fashioned bottle openers.
There is a bar area that is nice, but unfortunately that was full so we were out under florescent lights in this hallway type of area with uncomfortable seats.
Our server always seemed in a rush, and was unfriendly. She did not express interest in the beer. We tried the Raspberry Celis and IPA. The IPA was decent, the raspberry was interesting.
We ordered pizza (greasy and soggy), sweet potato fries (pieces of almost-raw potato briefly dropped in oil), burgers that were previously frozen, etc.
Prices were reasonable. 3 beers and dinner for 4 was about $45. (beer about $4 a pint, $12 for a pizza, etc)
If I were to go again, I'd probably just pick up a growler to go. It was a disappointment.

I stopped in today while waiting for a ride at the nearby park and ride. The service was very good. They offer distilled products now (new since I had last been there)
But I skipped the vodka and I tried the Imperial IPA instead. Hops are great. The more, the better for me. This IIPA was very good. Nice balance of malt and hops. Very Very Good.
They should offer this product in stores. Too bad my ride was waiting at the nearby park and ride or I would have tried the Imperial Porter, also on tap.

I stopped by Michigan Brewing Company this past Saturday for lunch and brews. MBC is less than a mile from I96 (or Grand River Avenue if you're not into the whole expressway thing) in an Industrial Park/Warehouse area just outside the village of Webberville. From the outside MBC looks drab and boring, kind of like a big pole-barn...but the inside taproom isn't bad. The bar is wood and looks handcrafted...obviously new yet looks "old school." The walls are also wood and sprinkled with posters. The sound-system was weak but played lots of Dylan, which made me happy.
As for the beers...the beers were good. I had a sampler of all 16 beers currently on tap ($16). I was most impressed with the Nut Brown Ale, Rye Bock, Stout, and the Celis beers. These brews were all very flavorful, balanced, and unpretentious. I appreciated that most of the beers on tap were in the 5% abv range. It seems that the trend, particularly in Michigan, is toward massive beers with sky high alcohol content. While I like big beers it's nonetheless nice that MBC beers are a bit more subte.
Overall, I thought the atmosphere at MBC was okay but not great (a tad sterile really), but beers were absolutely fantastic...I'll certainly be visiting Michigan Brewing Company again.

I've gone past the place a million times, but finally had the chance to stop in over the Christmas holiday. I was pleasantly surprised. They have a great store attached to the brewpub! Lots of brewing supplies and beer related items.
The bar area is nice, but lacks a real personality. However, the service was good, the beer selection is very nice. But on top of that, they have their own sodas and even vodka.
The beers that I sampled were solid representations of their styles.
And although I didn't sample the menu, it looked pretty decent and the smells coming from the kitchen were wonderful.

I just visited MBC for the first time this past weekend. Whereas I had never been to the old location (located behind the gas pumps right off the highway), I could just tell from the new location that is is an enormous improvement in just so much that sheer space in concerned. However, the physical bar in the new establishment is still very small -- it has only about 6 seats, and there is still a lot of unused open space in the taproom. If not for the lodgy wood decor, I would have felt like I was having a pint in a warehouse.
Perhaps it is because we stopped by on New Year's Eve, and to their credit the two bartenders appeared to be sick, but the staff tending bar was absolutely miserable. The woman snapped at two people and was downright rude to the point that I wanted to leave -- not to me personally but to several people around me. Yes, we got our beers in a timely manner and yes our requests for other merchandise were fulfilled, but the quality of the service was barely satisfactory. I really felt as though they were unhappy that they were even open and spent the time they were there complaining. This was a real disappointment after enjoying the friendly demeanor of the staff at nearby Founders and Dark Horse.
Things Beer is located within the same building on the other side. There is a variety of homebrewing supplies, novelty items, glassware, and apparel.
The two notable brews were by far the Russian Imperial Stout (at 12.9% ABV) and the Winter Warmer. Very impressed by the Winter Warmer, and picked up a growler of it to enjoy later. The Russian Imperial Stout was also very tasty, but I agree it was served too cold and if you are ordering a couple pints, I'd order the stout and let it sit while you enjoy the IPA first.
On Tap as of 12/31/06:
Mackinac Pale Ale (5.5%)
Black Ale (6.8%)
Winter Warmer (8.1%)
Bavarian Dark (4%)
Pumpkin Ale (5&) - OUT
Celis Grand Cru (7.6%)
Celis Pale Bock (3.9%)
Celis Raspberry (3.9%)
Celis White (3.9%)
Porter (5%)
Stout (5%)
Russian Imperial Stout (12.9%)

On Monday, Manchester United completed the signing of towering midfielder Marouane Fellaini from Everton. Here, we cast an eye over the Belgian's career to date...
Where does he play? In recent seasons, Marouane has successfully adopted the number 10 position, but in truth, that was partly due to Everton's limited options up front. Perhaps more commonly, he is more often deployed as a deep-lying midfielder; offering a solid screen in front of the back four.
We have history, don't we? Fellaini has been a thorn in United's side of late, most recently heading Everton to victory on the opening night of last season, 2012/13. That match was preceded by the infamous 4-4 draw at Old Trafford in the latter stages of the previous campaign, during which he scored a fine second-half volley. So let's be thankful he's swapped Blue for Red, eh!

The old budget was just getting some relief from high winter gas bills. Now we've got to pay for expensive summer air conditioning. Where I live, summer temperatures can easily hit the 100 degree mark by noon, so leaving the air off is not an option. To help cut the bill, I looked into ways to trim cooling costs without melting in the heat. Here are some tips:
Seal Cracks
Inexpensive plastic film available at most hardware stores can provide insulation around older windows where drafts are likely. Foam or caulking also seals drafts. By sealing up these leaks, holes, and drafty spots, cool air from the conditioner stays inside instead of just vanishing through the cracks.
Clean Your Filters
Air conditioning filters should be cleaned once a month for efficiency. Run water through and let them air-dry. What a cinch! This simple task will make a huge difference! If your filters are disposable, remember to replace every 3 to 6 months.
Close Your Shades
Anything that blocks the sun from coming in will make it easier for your air-conditioning unit to maintain cooler temperatures. Keep shades and curtains closed as long as possible throughout the day, or at least until early evening.
Reset The Water Heater
Take cooler showers in the summer. This will let you turn down the temperature setting on your water heater for a few months. Turning down the temperature on a 50-gallon tank from 130 degrees to 115 degrees can save more than $50 a year!
Plant Trees
Consider planting leafy trees or bushes to provide more shade around your home. The shade will keep your home cooler and require your conditioning system to run less.
Program the Thermostat
Programmable thermostats keep your air conditioner from working harder than it has to! It will allow the temperature to automatically rise during the day when no one is home. This can lead to annual savings of 30 percent! If you have a programmable thermostat, use it!
Invest in Overhead Fans
This seems like a no-brainer, but many people still do not realize how great these fans can cool and help you sleep better at night. In our home we turn down our thermostat at night and utilize our fans instead. The savings was quickly noticed.
Avoid the Oven
Turning on the oven sends heat into the rest of the house, which forces the air conditioner to kick on and work harder. Consider an outdoor grill or even the stove top, which gives off less heat than the oven.
There is no need to sweat the summer out to save money. Give these simple steps a try and see what changes you notice in your cooling bills.

we live in arizona and planting the trees to make shade especcially around the ac unit makes a huge!!! diference you can also go to the ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION and donate $10 and get 10 trees to plant that go with your climate!!
We installed 2 window units that goes along with our central air/heat and I save around $150 to $200 a month. I know, I hate window units too but it save $$!! We also close our storm shutters during the hot months. It's like living in a cave, but oh well!!
You can also reduce the amount of clothing you wear when indoors.

Arrive here with an appetite, as you're presented with a complimentary plate of tapas when you order a drink, and not just a slice of dried-up cheese – typical freebies are a combo of quail eggs, ham, fried potatoes, lettuce hearts and zucchinis (courgettes) Understandably, it gets packed out, so head to the restaurant at the back for specials like patatas a lo pobre (potato.
Carles Abellan, master of Comerç 24 in La Ribera, runs this basement tapas haven known for its gourmet versions of old faves.
They describe this slick new tapas bar as a 'Cocktail and Gastrobar' and as much thought has gone into the decoration (with mirrors that resemble shattered glass) as the cooking.
Opened on the pedestrian Carrer del Rec in 2013, Bormuth has tapped into the vogue for old-school tapas with modern-times service and decor, and serves all the old favourites – patatas bravas, ensaladilla (Russian salad), tortilla – along with some less predictable and superbly prepared numbers (try the chargrilled red pepper with black pudding).
El Goog's modernist, chic restaurant and cafe are under the direction of superchef Josean Martínez Alija. Needless to say, the nueva cocina vasca (Basque nouvelle cuisine) is breathtaking and the ever-changing menu includes such mouth waterers as Iberian pork meatballs with carrot juice and curry.
The Michelin-starred Santceloni is one of Madrid's best restaurants, with luxury decor that's the work of star interior designer Pascual Ortega, and nouvelle cuisine from the kitchen of chef Óscar Velasco, protege of master chef Santi Santamaría.
On the zigzagging road up to Castell d'Alaró, this gloriously rustic haunt is well worth the trek, bike ride or gear-crunching ascent. The sheep hanging out in the car park are a menu give-away.
Styling itself as a temple to modern Mediterranean cooking, this flash restaurant has the looks (lime-green walls decorated with blue saucepan lids!), and the tastes, down to a fine art. The service is excellent and, considering the price, the food quality truly superb.
From the outside this looks like any other small-town Spanish bar, but step inside and you enter a fantastical world of culinary magic. The food is all the normal Canarian staples, but with all manner of unusual potions poured over them, and unexpected combinations. Some good examples of this are the seaweed salad or the baby squid wrapped in bacon.
An island legend, Josef Sauerschell has one Michelin star and it is well deserved.
This restaurant is housed in a headily historic building, dating from the 14th century, in a former Jewish quarter. Ask the owner to show you the original well and stonework and beams bearing Jewish symbols. It's fascinating stuff and sure makes a change from the cookie-cutter sameness of modern restaurant chains.
If you've just got off the boat from Las Américas and the pies and peas have left you feeling down, come to this incredibly simple little locals' restaurant, which has nothing but a single fishing net for decoration, and tuck into a seafood feast that costs next to nothing but is fit for Neptune himself.
Forn Nou's bird's nest of a terrace perches high above Artà's medieval maze and peers across the rooftops to the church and fortress.
Not without merit, Sabores is one of Andalucía's best restaurants located in what might be Jerez's best hotel, the Chancillería. When scrambled eggs go gourmet, you know you're onto something special.
Named best restaurant in the world in 2013 by The World's 50 Best Restaurants, this place, 2km west of central Girona in a refurbished country house, is run by three brothers. The focus is 'emotional cuisine' through ever-changing takes on Catalan dishes. The style is playful and a full range of molecular gastronomy techniques is employed.

Product Announcement from Palmetto, Inc.
The Palmetto CHEKSEAL™ is a self-adjusting, shaft-mounted, axial lip seal designed as an exclusion device, deflecting and excluding contaminants such as dust, dirt, mud and water. The CHEKSEAL also functions as a "retainer" seal, preventing the loss of viscous lubricants such as heavy greases.
Compression molded with Greene, Tweed's proprietary elastomers to assure high resiliency, low wear and fluid resistance, the CHEKSEAL incorporates a tough, but flexible, hinged lip that seals axially against a radial (perpendicular)face. This straightforward design requires no special machining for a tight shaft fit.
Unlike conventional spring-loaded oil seals, the CHEKSEAL cannot fret or groove expensive shafts and accepts radial shaft motion due to bearing play. The CHEKSEAL automatically vents excess grease during re-greasing operations.
The CHEKSEAL installs easily. Manufactured entirely of highly resilient rubber, it can be stretched over shaft obstructions and pressed firmly against the radial face. When the shaft is set in final operating position and begins turning, the CHEKSEAL self-adjusts after the first several rotations, with the axial base stop and lip working together to provide proper interference. Once in position on the shaft, the CHEKSEAL does not back off-its position maintained by the rubber compound's natural tension.

Engine Brush Kit set of 4
Product Review (submitted on May 1, 2011):
I have only started breaking down my motor and i have already been able to clean out hard coolant lines, the hard to get areas on starters and alternators, and get them clean and painted, i plan on using these to clean up my engine bay, behind brake lines all the tight areas that need a little cleaning before paint will be fairly easy to reach with these brushes. These brushes really do have long handles the longest is the small enough that it will fit into lots of coolant passages and clean them out with out having to pay someone else to do it, and the handles are stiff but will bend into anywhere I do suggest having the block hot tanked or sonic cleaned once it is all apart but these brushes will help clean all the small parts so you dont have to pay someone else to clean a box of smalls. Anywhere i feel like brushing is easily accessed with these brushes. The only way the package could be better is if there was a bigger diamater brush the biggest is probably only an inch or so and if there was a 2" diamater brush it might be tough to fit in all places but it would get the bigger holes a better cleaning, like the thermostat filler neck, the hole is just a little bigger than the biggest brush and a larger brush would come in handy im sure that once i have it down to the block i will see more uses for the smaller diamater brushes. Overall this is a great deal to get 4 good stiff non abrasive brushes, for a reasonable price, that will last forever, you just might want a little bigger brush for some things.

The Rhone/French Alps region
The Haute Savoie department is south-east located, at the crossroads of France, Italy and Switzerland. It is one of the eight departments of the Rhone-Alpes region.
The area accounts for more than 708,000 inhabitants, called the Hauts-Savoyards, living in 294 towns and villages. Haute Savoie's administrative centre is Annecy, the sous-prefectures being Bonneville, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois and Thonon-les-Bains.
Haute Savoie is renowned for its ski resorts, the Mont-Blanc, its two beautiful lakes, the Leman Lake (more known in English as the Geneva Lake), the biggest in Europe, and the Annecy Lake, the cleanest in Europe, as for its mineral water Evian).
Indeed, the Haute Savoie department is mostly renowned for its natural emblematic sites. Thanks to the assets of the area, Haute Savoie, unlike other mountainous departments, attracts as much tourists is summer as in winter: out of 37,9 million of tourists every year, 49% visit the area in winter, 40% in summer, and 13% during the rest of the year.
Morzine and Avoriaz make up the Portes du Soleil area which spans across two countries and thirteen resorts. This huge area is an obvious rival to the Three Valleys for the title of largest ski area in Europe, but lift passes, hotels, chalets and restaurants are all cheaper here than in Meribel and Courchevel.
At only approximately 50 miles from Geneva, Morzine is easily accessible for the British tourist and as such, its popularity has increased dramatically over the past few years and it is quickly becoming a favourite resort for those in search of winter snow.
Morzine itself is a busy little Alpine town with a lively spirit. Traditional wooden chalets with slate roofs and stone foundations ensure that the village retains is character and Savoyard charm.
More about Morzine @ http://www.morznet.com/morzine/guide.html
In the summer, Morzine offers mountain bikers some of the world's best mountain biking terrain, boasting up to 380kms of marked trails with varying degrees of technical skill required. With such variety on offer, Morzine has been proud to be a venue for the Tour de France and host to Mountain biking championships.
Just a few of the other options on offer include: paragliding, golfing, fishing, canyoning and tennis.

While the Harper team has worked hard to keep hot-potato items such as gay marriage and abortion off its agenda, it now has a new policy nemesis: the environment.
As Conservatives move to implement their jobs-and-growth plan, they've predictably attracted significant blow-back from environmentalists.
And activism by green-minded groups protesting giant resource-related projects such as Alberta's oilsands and the Northern Gateway pipeline in turn has prompted the government to introduce legislation and regulations in a bid to restrict the activists' effectiveness.
The yin-yang interplay catapulted the environment into the forefront in Ottawa this week, as opposition parties lined up to condemn a 420-page omnibus budget bill, brimming — inappropriately, they contend — with environmental provisions.
And in the midst of that fuss, federal environment commissioner Scott Vaughan released a report Tuesday slamming Conservative inaction on climate change policy. The report also notes Ottawa is facing a $7.7-billion bill for the cleanup of some 13,000 contaminated federal sites such as abandoned mines and military installations.
The environment is a tricky issue and the Harper Conservatives are getting on the wrong side of it.
When the economy is iffy, most Canadians are prepared to look the other way when it comes to C02 levels and remote tailings ponds.
But, in inadvertently developing a reputation for being rabidly anti-green, the Harper government has done itself a disservice. It has left the broader public with an impression that absolutely no one is minding the federal environmental shop.
Folks who are not particularly environmentally activist but enjoy living in a country with clean air and unsoiled beaches are apt to become a little nervous.
Conservatives should have picked an environment minister who had some record of interest and activity in matters pertaining to his file — someone who at least could do the necessary PR and offer verbal if not legislative reassurances.
Instead, Harper appointed Peter Kent, who on Tuesday dismissed Vaughan's report as being out of date.
Kent is the same minister who mused recently about "laundered money" from offshore making its way to green charities in Canada. He was not kidding.
That absurd statement was reminiscent of the so-called "bimbo eruptions" — extremist remarks by backbenchers relating to homosexuals or to abortion — that once so plagued the now-defunct Reform Party.
Then there was Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver who last January did yeoman service in helping create the government's extremist image on the environment with his issuance of an open letter about the Northern Gateway pipeline through B.C.
The letter slagged "environmentalists and other radicals that would seek to block this opportunity to diversify our trade."
Harper ministers have made much of the notion that foreign money is helping finance the operations of some Canadian charities.
But the public reasonably questions whether that's any big deal, given that offshore corporate interests equally have a huge hand in domestic resource development.
Regardless, at a time of widespread spending cuts, the government has found $8 million in its budget for the Canada Revenue Agency to investigate and remove charitable status from groups dispersing more than 10 per cent of their budgets on political activism.
Indeed, about a third of the government's omnibus budget bill deals with environmental measures that will speed up and streamline regulatory reviews of resource developments.
Packing so much into one bill obviously thwarts comprehensive scrutiny by MPs of any proposed legislation, giving less confidence to Canadians that the environment is being safeguarded.
As a policy issue, the environment is fast becoming the Conservatives' bête noire.
For Fort St. John, the energy capital of B.C., the boom times began in the 1950s with the discovery of petroleum.
Every day you use products made from oil and gas, such as gasoline and plastics.
Canadian crude oil producers continue to build new markets for their expanding production.

FTC Closes its Doors to New Applicants
Deferrals, layoffs, low offer rates for summer associates… what's next? Apparently things have gotten so bad that even the federal government doesn't want any more lawyers. The FTC announced today that it was closing its application process for current positions early – they already have more applicants than they can handle.

Carmelo Anthony told reporters that it doesn't even look as if the Knicks are trying. "We ain't playing worth a s--- right now," Anthony said following a 110-90 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. (h/t ESPNNewYork.com's Ohm Youngmisuk):
"I am disappointed too in all of our effort. We are just not getting it done. It ain't nothing that Coach [Mike] Woodson is doing [or not doing]. It ain't got nothing to do with X's and O's out there on the basketball court. We are not getting it done from an effort standpoint. It's like we are not even trying right now."
The Knicks, through nine games, are producing a slightly below average offense and the 28th-worst defense, according to Basketball-Reference. At -5.3, the team is 25th in the NBA in point differential.
Anthony, for his part, is scoring 26 points and is collecting nine rebounds per game. Andrea Bargnani, who has started in eight of nine games, is second in scoring at a hair over 15 points per game. Only Raymond Felton (11.1) is averaging in double digits.
Defense is often referred to effort, the missing factor that Anthony called out Saturday night, and no one on the roster has a defensive rating below 101, again per Basketball-Reference.
J.R. Smith wasn't shy about expressing his feelings:
