Yesterday I picked up 2 MAC Sheen Supreme lipsticks. From looking at various watches online, they were the two that I thought I'd like the best, Insanely It & Ultra Darling.
I made the mistake of going to the MAC counter at Dillard's. This is the same place that gave me a hard time over returning the MAC makeup remover that I'd used once, the very next day. They tried to tell me that you couldn't Back to MAC for a Sheen Supreme Lipstick, and that the rules had just changed. I pointed out they were permanent and they same price as the regular lipstick line, and they refused. So I said ok, purchased what I was going to purchase, and will most likely not go back to that location. Everything I can find online says that they should have accepted my Back to MAC products for one of the lipsticks. This really annoyed me. And if anyone has any updated information on whether they should have accepted it or not, I would appreciate it.
Anyway on to the lipsticks!
Insanely It is described as a watermelon pink, but it comes across as a hot pink to me, hence why I had to have it.
Ultra Darling is described as a mid-tone yellow pink, but to me it seems to be more of a pink-coral when worn.
Ultra Darling is actually a shade I can see stashing in my purse so that I always have a lipcolor I can wear, no matter what else I'm wearing. I feel like it's a really flattering shade. I like the colors, the color payoff, and texture. I can't speak about the wear yet, as I just swatched these and then wiped my lips off.
What do you think? Have you tried the MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks?
Products purchased by me. All opinions are my own.

I'm dying to get full speed – that's a warm pink I think insanely it suits you perfectly!
I actually decided to order Full Speed online and got free shipping with the code Jeanius. It looks pretty too.
I heard you can't B2M for these either Can you ask about it from Mac or do all counters have different rules? I'm pretty sure we can't B2M for these because we can't B2M for Pro Longwears either.
There're some pretty shades so I'll check these out once they're launched here.
Next time I make it into an actual store I'm going to ask, because the rules are never consistent.
I never shop at Dillards- their return policy is unnecessarily strict- cosmetic companies reimburse 3rd party vendors (like Dept Stores) for returns, so there's no reason in the world not to back up a cosmetic item with a reasonable return policy. They're just nasty for fun!
The only reason I went there again is that it's the closest MAC counter to me. I will probably not make that mistake again as the women there are kind of rude and don't seem to understand the MAC policies (as they were the people who tried to tell me I couldn't return the makeup remover the day after I bought it.) Yeah Dillards did not impress me.
I want to try these, but I don't think I'm going to. I'm really into MAC Jeanius!
These are permanent, so there's no rush.
I've looked at all the swatches and honestly I think I am going to pass, at least for a while. Not sure on the B2M thing. I know my "local" store wouldn't let me B2M for a LE color once (just LE color, not LE packaging) even though they're supposed to let you (checked when I got home) Honestly rules from counter to counter, employee to employee makes be not even want to B2M
Yeah the rules are annoying though I do love the B2M thing.
I'm really loving Insanely It. I want to try Goes and Goes (or whatever variant of "go" that name is). Lovin' the orange lip trend that's popping up.
Me too! I know not everyone can wear orange lips but I adore them.
Gah, dammit woman! Stop reviewing such beautiful lippies! I'm a lippie fiend by nature, and you are So. Not. Helping.
I *really* want to try out Ultra Darling, it looks like the ultimate throw-it-on-and-go kind of color for me.
I feel you! I'm a bit of a lippy fiend, too.
I ordered BOTH these colors along with Full Speed on Tuesday. I can't wait to get them and this making me even more impatient. They look nice, but I think sheerer than I thought they would be.
Yeah I decided I needed Full Speed, so it's coming to me I did apply them sheerly but I'm sure you can use a lip primer to help them be more vibrant.
I've never actually BOUGHT anything MAC, though a friend gifted me with some. This proves advertising and reviews work. Now I WANT some of these.
Aww cool
I've never seen the Supreme sheen MAC lipsticks, which are lovely btw however ,I've noticed that MACs in department stores and the stand alones are different regarding the b2m. In the stand alones you can b2m for a lipstick (minus the VIVA), lipgloss or eyeshadow. In department store, you can just b2m for a lipstick. At least this is how it is in Toronto…
See the Dillards told me you could only do it for an eye shadow, a lipglass or a lipstick, but only their regular line, not anything else. At the Macy's I've done it for other types of lipsticks, as well as at the MAC store, in the past. So I just got the feeling the woman was lying to me. As these are permanent lipstick type, it didn't make sense why she'd say that.
Very nice colors!
The whole Back 2 Mac thing is really irritating. It seems that the rules are different at every counter. I've had some take back my Eyebrow Pencil plastic cases and other ones won't. This is irritating. Also, I have had a counter tell me that you can only get a shadow or glass from Pro Stores or freestanding stores and not counters, at counters you can only get a lipstick. I have then gone on to get an eyeshadow back from a counter. I have no idea what the rules are now. They should have one very clear policy for all locations and stick to it!

So I guess someone needs to tell Jerry Palm that the Big Ten sucks, and get's throttled every year in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
How on earth can you justify putting 8 Big Ten teams into the tournament and only 6 from the ACC.
This underscores a larger frustration I have with the selection process. Because the ACC is such a tough league, ACC teams beat up on each other all year and good ACC teams get left out of the tournament just because they are in a conference with better ACC teams.
You can't tell me that Maryland is not better than Penn State, Minnesota, etc.
You also cannot tell me that a team like Creighton who lost by 20 points to Illinois State would go .500 in the ACC. Not even close.
Or how about San Diego State, who already has 8 losses on the year. How on earth would an 8 loss team from, well whatever conference it is that they play in, fair in the ACC? They certainly wouldn't go 7-9. Again, not even close.
Unlike other conferences, the ACC has no cupcakes. Even Georgia Tech, the league's worst was pre-season top 25 and has the talent on the floor to beat anyone in the country. Hell I'd rather play in the Big East and see Saint Johns, Depaul, Seton Hall, South Florida etc.
Top to bottom, there are no easy games in the ACC. The selection commitee needs to realize that. 7-9 in the ACC shouldn't be a lock, and I'm not saying the Terps should be in. I'm just saying let's be realistic about who is better than Maryland, because San Diego State, Creighton and a lot of teams from the Big Ten who Palm has in are certainly not better than the Terps (at least on paper).

A spokesperson for Cullman Regional Medical Center says the hospital has received an all clear from the bomb squad. Patients are now being transferred back.
Cullman Regional Medical Center was evacuated and patients were transferred to Woodland Health Care Center after a bomb threat was phoned into the Cullman County Sheriff's Office.
Marshall Medical Centers South and North were also part of the threat. They underwent similar searches but no evacuations. The centers in Boaz and Guntersville were also cleared just before 11 p.m. Sunday.
55 patients were at CRMC at the time. They are now going back to the hospital.

Last Thursday in D.C. I was honored to receive the Herblock Prize in cartooning, which comes with a considerable cash award, a fancy trophy, and a beautiful reception at the Library Of Congress. I figured something like this may never happen to me again so I tried to soak it up while I could and deliver an acceptance speech that wasn't a flop.
Garry Trudeau gave the night's lecture, which is available online as well. Michal Cavna of the Post interviewed me before the reception, the results of which are up on his blog.
I also wanted to do something here I neglected in the speech give a shout out to my colleague Jen Sorensen, who was the finalist. So shout out to Jen!

SALT III: a Comprehensive and Thorough High-Speed Professional Lens Shootout
There are now more options than ever for good professionally built lenses, and many of them are exceptionally fast. None of them are perfect at their widest aperture (well, a few come as close as possible), but there are times when you just need that extra stop or two of light, even if you might normally be shooting more closed down. SALT, the Southland Alternative Lens Test, is conducted by a group of professionals who test a wide range of lenses against each other in difficult situations, trying to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each set of lenses. The most recent test, WFO, is specifically designed to push lenses like Master Primes, Zeiss Super Speeds, and Canon Cine lenses at their widest aperture to see how well they perform. Check out the test below. More »
What's So Special About Uncoated Lenses and Why You Might Want to Use Some
We often talk about lenses, but very rarely about the coating on a lens. In fact, this is one of the major factors affecting the performance of a lens, as coatings reduce internal reflections and flare, which increases contrast, and therefore improves apparent sharpness. You're not likely going to be able to buy a brand new lens uncoated (as this is an effect not everyone wants), but there are places that will remove the coatings on a brand new set of lenses. We now have some sample videos of some Samyang lenses that have had their coatings removed, as well as some more professional cinema lenses. Click through to check them out. More »
Investing in DSLR Lenses for Cinema Use? Here Are Some Tips for Picking the Right Ones
Cameras, cameras, cameras. It seems like every day a new camera body is announced (and sometimes lenses, too). While there are always new features to entice us, we know that in this world of planned obsolescence every piece of technology has a finite shelf life. Even RED builds cameras with the knowledge that technology can improve rapidly (which is why they are offering sensor upgrades a few months from now). So what's a filmmaker to do? What's the safe investment? Lenses. Specifically, lenses that can be adapted to a wide range of cameras right now, and also in the future. We've already got some great info from lens genius Matthew Duclos, but here's another great piece on which SLR lenses are the best for long-term cinema usability. More »

Regardless of your camera choice, everyone is going to need to find a lens that fits their style and fulfills their needs for a range of productions. Whether you're shooting a film school project or shooting a feature film, there is a balance to lensing your imagers. More »

Comments in Models
Using the Core Edition only, and consequently writing your model in plain XML, developers could embed XML comments in it explaining what they meant to do, or using them as reminders of what's left to do.
In latest Modeler builds, you might have noticed that we introduced the an "Add Note" button in the modeler pad tab of the ribbon:
Well clicking this button allows you to place notes on the surface:
This way fans of XML comments in the Core Edition won't be prejudiced!
Table-Valued Parameters
Microsoft, starting with SQL Server 2008, added support for a new parameter type in SQL Server: Table-Valued parameters. Using them, you can send multiple rows of data to a T-SQL stored procedure, without creating a temporary table for instance.
Starting with the build 50204.579, the SQL Server producer now provides built-in support for those types. Thanks to this new feature you can now design CFQL queries such as:
<cf:method name="LoadCategories" body="load(int[] ints) where Id in (@ints)"/>
Which will generate the following code:
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[cf_type_Category_LoadCategories_0] AS TABLE(
[Item] [INT] NULL)
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Category_LoadCategories]
@ints [dbo].[cf_type_Category_LoadCategories_0] READONLY,
@_orderBy0 [nvarchar] (64) = NULL,
@_orderByDirection0 [BIT] = 0
DECLARE @_c_ints INT; SELECT @_c_ints= COUNT(*) FROM @ints
SELECT DISTINCT [Category].[Category_Id], [Category].[Category_Name], [Category].[_rowVersion]
FROM [Category]
WHERE [Category].[Category_Id] IN ((SELECT * FROM @ints))
The feature is actually broader than that, you can also:
- In CFQL, use the '=' operator on table-valued types, e.g. count(int[] ints) where @ints = Id,
- Use .NET CLR types, e.g. raw(System.Uri[] uris),
- Use already existing table-valued types in database,
- Map table-valued types to .NET types such as DataTable, IDataReader and IEnumerable<SqlDataRecord>,
- Map them to generated collection types you created in the model.
Want to know more about it? It's all detailed in our product documentation, in the Array Parameters article.
Introduction to the SharePoint Producer
The Microsoft SharePoint Producer is a user interface producer as its main purpose is to generate generic entity SharePoint Web Parts that can be used configured and deployed in SharePoint Web Part pages. All Web Parts are designed to be related to any entity from the Business Object Model (BOM).
The producer generates four kinds of Web Parts:
The EntityDataSourcePart, unlike the three other Web Parts, doesn't have a user interface. It's an invisible Web Part (similar to the ObjectDataSource control in ASP.NET) designed to act as a data source for both EntityFormPart or EntityGridPart. If the EntityDataSourcePart is used as a data source to the EntityFormPart, the entity selected in the EntityDataSourcePart will be shown in the EntityFormPart. The same logic is true when used as an EntityGridPart data source. Furthermore, it can call parameterized methods. In such cases, parameters must be configured so they can be passed to the underlaying method. The EntityDataSourcePart can also use the query string in order to retrieve parameters and forward them to the underlaying method.
The EntityMethodPart provides an interface so end-users can supply parameter values of a given method. It's interface is a form composed of input fields. Typed-in values will be parsed and made available to connected Web Parts.
The EntityMethodPart is a "supplier-only" Web Part and is designed to supply values to a connected EntityGridPart; it doesn't display data itself.
The EntityGridPart is a Web Part intended to display within a grid control, records of business entity instances. The EntityGridPart can "consume" parameters provided by an EntityMethodPart in order to load the collection to be displayed. It can also supply a selected entity instance to a connected EntityFormPart.
The EntityFormPart is a form Web Part which displays the properties of a selected instance of business entity. Using this part, not only end-users can get a detailed view of an instance, but they can also update or delete the current instance. The EntityFormPart is a "consumer-only" Web Part. Consequently, it needs a data source from which to consume data. The data provider may be a connected EntityGridPart as well as an EntityDataSourcePart. Finally, it's also possible to configure the EntityFormPart to use the query string as input.
The following screenshot actually shows different Web Parts, configured to manipulate an Account entity, and connected to one-another:
Going from top to bottom, the first Web Part is an EntityMethodPart configured to use the LoadByName method of the Account entity. Moreover, this Web Part was configured to supply typed-in values to the second Web Part: an EntityGridPart.
The second Web Part is an EntityGridPart which is mapped to the same LoadByName method, and uses the parameter values provided by the first Web Part (EntityMethodPart) when invoking the method. Data returned by the method are then displayed in the grid.
The third and last Web Part is an EntityFormPart configured to show in a form, the currently selected instance in the EntityGridPart.
All those web parts are generated, and more than just generating web parts as we've seen in this post, CodeFluent Entities provides an extensive set of features made to ease the developer's task when it comes to developing SharePoint applications, such as:
- Site Creator,
- Binary Large Object Management,
- Office Synchronizable Lists Integration,
- Runtime Model,
- and more (localization, authorization, validation, etc.).
Check-out our documentation for more information!
Generating Documentation
CodeFluent Entities provides a documentation sub-producer which allows you to:
- Decorate all members with XML comments (usable by Visual Studio IntelliSense and help tools),
- Generate XML, batch and configuration files to create a .CHM documentation using Sandcastle.
To benefit from it, you first need to add an instance of the sub-producer. To do so, select the Business Object Model Producer instance of your project, right-click on it and select "Add New SubProducer". Then in the "Add New SubProducer" dialog, select "Documentation" in the tree view and configure it:
Note: the only required property is the "Sandcastle Target Directory "which needs to be specified so the producer knows where to generate its output files. If producing Sandcastle files, you need to have Sandcastle installed before generating and ensure the Sandcastle path is correct so you'll be able to use the generated files right away.
Since decorating all members of all your generated classes all the time can be quite an overkill during developments, it is disabled by default in the Business Object Model producer, so you need to enable it as well. Double-click on your Business Object Model producer instance to open its configuration and set "Generate Xml Documentation" to "True":
In the XML this looks like something like that:
<cf:producer typeName="CodeFluent.Producers.CodeDom.CodeDomProducer, CodeFluent.Producers.CodeDom">
<cf:configuration targetDirectory="..\Sample" outputName="{0}.dll" generateDocumentation="true">
<subProducer typeName="CodeFluent.Producers.Documentation.DocumentationProducer, CodeFluent.Producers.Documentation"
targetDirectory="..\Doc" sourceDirectory="%CF_TEMPLATES_PATH%\Documentation" />
Build over your project and you'll see that all your members have XML remarks on them! Moreover, in the Sandcastle Target Directory you specified, you'll see a set of files allowing you to generate a .CHM file documenting the generated objet model
Razor Syntax Support
We introduced the Text Template Engine in previous posts such as this one, or this one; and both posts feature some quick examples of how to use the default syntax to create templates:
- use [%= foo %] to print the value of the foo variable,
- use [% foreach (string value in values) %] to embed C# statements.
Starting with the next CodeFluent Entities build (> 50401.587), the CodeFluent Template Engine now supports Razor.
Razor, is basically a new view engine for ASP.NET MVC developed by Microsoft and shipped with ASP.NET MVC 3. Basically, the main goal of Razor is that it's compact, expressive and fluid. To quote Scott Guthrie (view source):
Razor minimizes the number of characters and keystrokes required in a file, and enables a fast, fluid coding workflow. Unlike most template syntaxes, you do not need to interrupt your coding to explicitly denote server blocks within your HTML. The parser is smart enough to infer this from your code. This enables a really compact and expressive syntax which is clean, fast and fun to type.
To generate files from templates using the Razor syntax you need:
- To be in .NET 4,
- References to the CodeFluent.Runtime.dll and CodeFluent.Model.Common.dll (versions strictly upper than 50401.587),
- A reference to System.Web.Razor
As an example, here's a template which loads from its context a string array containing all NBA teams, and lists them in a text file:
@ template engine="razor"
Generated @System.DateTime.Now
string[] nbaTeams = (string[])Context["NbaTeams"];
Current NBA Teams:
@foreach (string team in nbaTeams) {
<text>- @team</text>
Check-out this nice blog post for a quick reference on the Razor syntax.
Then here's the code using CodeFluent's Template Engine which runs the template and prints its output on the console:
class Program { private static string[] _nbaTeams = { /* All Teams...*/ }; static void Main(string[] args) { Template template = new Template(); template.Load("Sample.txt", TemplateOptions.Default); template.Build(); Hashtable context = new Hashtable(); context["NbaTeams"] = _nbaTeams; template.Run(Console.Out, context); } }
Here's the output:
Generated 04/12/2011 14:42:13
Current NBA Teams:
– Boston Celtics
– New Jersey Nets
– New York Knicks
– Philadelphia 76ers
– Toronto Raptors
– Dallas Mavericks
– Houston Rockets
– Memphis Grizzlies
– New Orleans Hornets
– San Antonio Spurs
– Chicago Bulls
– Cleveland Cavaliers
– Detroit Pistons
– Indiana Pacers
– Milwaukee Bucks
– Denver Nuggets
– Minnoseta Timberwolves
– Portland Trail Blazers
– Oklahoma City Thunder
– Utah Jazz
– Atlanta Hawks
– Charlotte Bobcats
– Miami Heat
– Orlando Magic
– Washington Wizards
– Golden State Warriors
– Los Angeles Clippers
– Los Angeles Lakers
– Phoenix Suns
– Sacramento Kings
Default Persistence Server
By default CodeFluent Entities uses the following connection string:
Application Name=[DefaultNamespace];server=[DefaultPersistenceServer];database=[DefaultNamespace];Integrated Security=true
Where [DefaultNamespace] is the default namespace of your CodeFluent Entities project, and [DefaultPersistenceServer] the default persistence server. By default, the default persistence server is configured to be 127.0.0.1.
Of course, you can override the default connection string at the project level thanks to the Default Connection String property (defaultConnectionString attribute in XML):
Or at the producer level by specifying its connection string explicitly:
However, to keep your model as portable as possible the best practice is definitely that each developer sets his default persistence server to their server. To set this up, you need to:
- run Visual Studio with administrator privileges,
- get in Tools > Options… > CodeFluent Entities,
- in the advanced tab of the property grid (click the button with the yellow plus sign to access it), set the Default Persistence Server property to your server.
Doing this ensures the default connection string used by CodeFluent Entities is valid. As a consequence, developers won't have to override the default connection string in their models anymore, and this way a model can easily be shared between one another.
Blob Storage
As announced in this previous post, a couple builds ago we released a new feature which lets you store your Binary Large Objects (a.k.a. blobs) in Windows Azure's Blob Storage instead of inside your database.
As seen in this video, developers can now specify through their application configuration, at run time and without having to generate over nor compile over their sources, where they'd like their blobs to be loaded and stored from. Available configurations or either to store their blobs in database, in a Windows Azure Blob Storage Account, or on the server's file system.
Here's a set of application configuration illustrating how to configure the runtime where to store your blobs.
Here's the default configuration of my Sample application: no specific binary service is specified, blobs are stored in my database.
<configuration> <configSections> <section name="Sample"type="CodeFluent.Runtime.CodeFluentConfigurationSectionHandler, CodeFluent.Runtime" /> </configSections> <Sample connectionString="server=(local);database=Sample;Trusted_Connection=true" /> </configuration>
Now here's the configuration but modified to use the Windows Azure Blob Storage for all my entities:
<configuration> (…) <Sample connectionString="server=(local);database=Sample;Trusted_Connection=true" binaryServicesTypeName="azure" cloudStorageAccountConnectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=MyAccount;AccountKey=9K5cXEs+9zEcBXz9gqjp==" /> (…) </configuration>
And now here's the equivalent but to store them on the file system:
<configuration> (…) <Sample connectionString="server=(local);database=Sample;Trusted_Connection=true" binaryServicesTypeName="filesystem" fileSystemBlobStorageRootPath="C:\Blobs" /> (…) </configuration>
Please note that the binary service both for file system and Windows Azure blob storage can be specified per entity as well:
<configuration> (…) <Sample connectionString="server=(local);database=Sample;Trusted_Connection=true"> <binaryServices entityFullTypeName="Sample.Customer" binaryServicesTypeName="fileSystem" fileSystemBlobStorageRootPath="C:\Blobs" /> </Sample> (…) </configuration>
The Platform Independent Form Editor
As announced in this post, the newest version (50401.587) of the Modeler features a Platform Independent Form Editor. This editor allows developers to define forms on their entities which will then be translated into actual screens by user interface producers.
For instance, let's say I have the following Product entity:
Well, instead of having all my properties aligned in a single column I'd like to have the picture on one side, and the rest of my properties on the other side. I could override the default inferred form by defining my own, such as this one:
The following screenshot shows the Form Editor in which you can define tabs, zones, columns, drag and drop fields and commands wherever you'd like. At this stage we're completely agnostic of the targeted platform: it may become Windows Forms, ASP.NET, WPF, or SharePoint screens.
For instance, defining the following form in my model and generating SharePoint web parts using the Microsoft SharePoint Producer generates the following screens:
- To create a new product:
- To view an existing product:
- To edit an existing product:
The Starter Wizard
As announced in this post, the newest version (50401.587) of the Modeler now includes a new project type which is a wizard.
In Microsoft Visual Studio, click on File > New Project… and in the CodeFluent Entities project type, you'll see a new template: Starter Wizard.
This wizard allows you to select a model as usual, but in addition to creating the corresponding CodeFluent Entities project, you can select your application type and it'll automatically add the corresponding Visual Studio projects to your solution as well as configure the selected producers.
For instance choosing an ASP.NET MVC application will create:
- your CodeFluent Entities project,
- a Database project to contain your persistence scripts,
- a Class Library project to contain your Business Object Model,
- as well as a ASP.NET MVC application referencing the class library.
Furthermore, as said earlier, producers will be configured which in this case will be:
- a persistence producer (SQL Server, SQL Azure or Oracle Database depending on what you choose in the wizard),
- as well as the Business Object Model producer.
If ever a user interface producer supports the selected application type, this one will be automatically added.
Note: As of today, the only one added by the wizard is the SharePoint Web Parts producer.
By the end of the wizard your entire solution was created: you're now ready to develop your application from data to UI
The next step is then to design your application in the default surface of the CodeFluent Entities project. Define your business logic by creating entities, properties, relations and generate!
Note: If wondering how to do this, check-out this video
As you'll see, the configured producers will update the targeted projects of your solution by including the generated files as well as adding the required references. In the end, all you need to do is compile the generated code and you can use it right away in your application.
Finally, a key point in using CodeFluent Entities is that it allows you to generate continuously throughout developments, so don't be afraid to try stuff, go back in the model, tweak it, generate over and see the result until it looks good
Search capabilities of the Modeler
On top of Microsoft Visual Studio's search, the modeler adds its own searching capabilities which get to be very convenient when working on large models.
The first one is the Model Search, accessible from the Modeler Pad tab of the ribbon or from the surface context menu:
A Model Search is a "Google-like" search of a string within your entire model. It'll then display all matching results in a hierarchical grid. For instance, I can type-in a string like "order" and the grid will contain all concepts matching the "order" string. However, instead of having a big list of the matching results, I get a tree view filtered by the string:
The second one is the Shape Search, also accessible from the Modeler Pad tab of the ribbon or from the surface context menu:
This time, a small dialog will pop-up and when typing the shape your looking for (entity or enumeration), and it'll automatically take you to the corresponding shape by zooming on it and setting the focus on it.

TEAM: Alaska WildBird Rehab Center - Freezin' for a Reason!
Tyler Strode fundraising for SERTOMA INC
The Alaska Wildbird Rehab Center is expanding it's facility. This fundraiser will help get water, electricity, and septic for the center.
I am the Rehabilitation Director for Alaska Wildbird Rehab Center. I have been with this organization for 5 years. I started as a volunteer and I fell in love with the birds.
There has been many birds that have come to the center over the years. Each bird that has come threw the door of the center has touched my heart and shown me something about myself or about life in general.These birds are family to me and to the volunteers that come in and care for them.
Our center has become to small to house all the birds that we care for in a year. We need your help to expand so we can provide medical care for more birds that have been injured. HELP US SAVE THE BIRDS! So that our children can see and learn from them as we have.
Thank you for your support

This is an interesting move, but both Adam Schefter and Bill Williamson are reporting that we're interviewing Denver OC Mike McCoy and DC Dennis Allen for our head coaching job.
Were Al still running the show I'd be saying this is a typical Al Davis move - picking the brains of a couple of well regarded assistants from the division winners under the pretext of an interview - and it's possible that Reggie may have learnt this trick from Ron Wolf. However, let's assume that it's a legit deal here.
Allen's served as defensive coordinator in Donkeytown for one year, having previously been the Saints' secondary coach. He's also previously been an assistant D-line coach in NOLA, a quality control coach/defensive assistant in Atlanta and the secondary coach of Tulsa University. He likes to attack on defense - a nice change from Panda's pillow D - and will concede yards and the odd big play to force turnovers and sacks and prevent touchdowns. I have to assume part of the reason Denver's D went from historically terrible to good in one shortened offseason is down to him (with Von Miller and a healthy Dumervil playing their part).
McCoy has been OC and QB coach in Denver for three years - he was originally hired by Josh McDaniels but this was his first year calling plays. Before that, he'd been with the Carolina Panthers for eight years and worked his way up - this was probably why Fox kept him around when he came to Denver from Carolina. With Kyle Orton the Broncos were running mostly a spread passing attack, but because Tebow is a muppet McCoy brought in that stupid option offense. I actually like this - it shows he can adapt his schemes to the personnel around him, which of course was a strength of Hue's. We're also not the only team to show interest in him - the Dolphins have set up an interview for their HC slot.
Neither of them would be at the top of my list, but Allen in particular wouldn't be a bad hire IMO. I really want to see us get in an aggressive, defensive minded head coach (Spagnuolo would still be my first choice, given that I reckon he got a pretty raw deal in St Louis) who recognises that it's probably best to leave well enough alone with the offense. I.e. either re-hire Al Saunders or get in an OC who knows the Air Coryell system which was the basis of our passing attack.
And just to throw my 2c into the "Bring Back Chucky" well - I don't want it. Just like I don't believe in going back to an ex years later no matter how great it was at the time, especially if you (or your team) has changed as much as we have in that time and gone through what we've gone through. Gruden is a west coast offense guy and Palmer would look even worse in the WCO than he did in Hue's offense. Plus, I'm still not convinced of his ability to make an average team great - and let's face it, at this point in time, we are an average team. When he had average teams in Tampa Bay and a significant role in personnel, he struggled. Combine this with the fact that he has a nice cushy job on ESPN right now and a young family, and I don't see why he would even be interested in returning to coaching no matter how much unfinished business he may have in Oakland.
It's time for the Raiders and the Nation to look forward. Whoever our new head coach may be, let's hope he can take us there.
Screwfish out.

Tree beer collaboration between Faction and Drakes.
This is called Tree Beer and, true to its name, it's brewed with an actual tree. A Christmas tree, if I recall correctly.
This pours a golden color with nice foaming. Holy crap, it actually smells like a tree! It smells like Christmas in a cup, literally. Instead of being hop forward or even piney, as in a hop profile which mimics tree-like qualities, it's just so … different. The aroma has some pine notes, true, but the flavor is just so interesting and complex with the flavors of the tree mingling—it has a whisper of smoke on it, and some sap even. A really curious brew, innovative and challenging but oh so rewarding. One of the more interesting, unusual and offbeat beers I've had in a long time.

Got a Growler from the Brewery yesterday because i liked the name. Tasted it there, thought it was lovely so here i am.
color is golden, little darker than gold, nice head, goes away semi fast.
Smell is that of my mothers house around christmas time. Wow does this smell like a "treebeer" hahaha rightfully named. Some pine, some funk but mostly christmas tree.
Taste follows the nose a little bit. Right away i get christmas tree, followed by a light bodied breadyness.
Body, light minimally carbonated.
Drinks like an ipa but is not too full bodied, i love this beer!

The start of school is exciting and full of possibilities- a clean slate. Now fresh supplies, clean classrooms, pristine display boards, and a new Superintendent await the students of Greenwich. Adults participate in this sense of renewal. The PTA greets the beginning year as an opportunity to accomplish our perennial goal: never-ending improvement of the educational system.
PTAs regenerate each fall through term-limited officers and annual memberships. But our assignment stays the same year after year. The mission we share with Connecticut and National PTA is to advocate for children's welfare, assist and inform families, and facilitate community involvement in the public schools. The almost five thousand Greenwich PTA members belong also to those larger associations, making up ten percent of the state's PTSA. I encourage you, whether parent, teacher, family, staff, friend, or neighbor, to join a local PTA and add your voice to ours so together we can secure the best education possible for our town's future citizens.
The fifteen public schools' PTAs jointly constitute the Greenwich PTA Council. We provide significant resources to the district, roughly one million dollars per year plus an enormous pool of labor. We train and organize volunteers, offer programming, and facilitate communication between school and home. We express the collective opinion of our communities to the administration and the Board of Education on a regular basis, as well as to other government entities as warranted.
The PTA welcomes everyone, their expertise, their time, and their views, from preschool parents new in town to lifelong residents whose youngest grandchildren have graduated. Please visit our website at www.greenwichschools.org, e-mail us at email@example.com, attend one of our regular meetings, or get in touch with the PTA at the school of your choice. I wish all of you a wonderful back-to-school.

Russia Brings Together Some of the World's Best Fighter Pilots

Why did Russia open up its Aviadarts air exercises to military pilots from France, Belarus, Kazakhstan and China? Besides exhibiting the prowess of its aviators, Thomas Newdick thinks that Moscow wanted to give its foreign relations a much needed public relations boost.

Ideas Are Bulletproof; Why We Should Still Be Expecting Anonymous

For Ben Collins, recent events in the Middle East demonstrate that the Anonymous movement never went away.

NATO's Two-Percent Illusion

Security Watch
The vast majority of NATO's members are either unable or unwilling to spend 2% of their GDP on defense, and thereby help plug the Alliance's numerous capability gaps. That's why Christian Mölling thinks it's time for Germany to develop its own vision of how NATO should use its financial resources more efficiently. More on «NATO's Two-Percent Illusion»

White House Statement on Iraq
...Iraq, 10 years later
Here's what President Obama had to say today about the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war:
"As we mark the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war, Michelle and I join our fellow Americans in paying tribute to all who served and sacrificed in one of our nation's longest wars. We salute the courage and resolve of more than 1.5 million service members and civilians who during multiple tours wrote one of the most extraordinary chapters in military service. We honor the memory of the nearly 4,500 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to give the Iraqi people an opportunity to forge their own future after many years of hardship. And we express our gratitude to our extraordinary military families who sacrificed on the home front, especially our Gold Star families who remain in our prayers.
The last of our troops left Iraq with their heads held high in 2011, and the United States continues to work with our Iraqi partners to advance our shared interest in security and peace. Here at home, our obligations to those who served endure. We must ensure that the more than 30,000 Americans wounded in Iraq receive the care and benefits they deserve and that we continue to improve treatment for traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. With a strong Post 9/11 GI Bill, we must help our newest veterans pursue their education and find jobs worthy of their incredible talents. And all Americans can continue to support and honor our military families who are pillars of so many of our communities. On this solemn anniversary, we draw strength and inspiration from these American patriots who exemplify the values of courage, selflessness and teamwork that define our Armed Forces and keep our nation great."

[Thanks to (appropriately) BULLievinginMiami for today's game preview -ed.]
Here we are at the conclusion of the pre-All-Star Break portion of the season, which for the casual basketball fan means they can start watching games from here on out. Unfortunately, us poor schmucks have been watching all season and enduring the frustration. But something pleasant has occurred recently: our beloved Bulls are actually playing well. The defense isn't particularly better. Out of the last five wins, only twice (DET, PHO) has the opponent reached the century mark on the scoreboard, but this is misleading. The Clippers are awful, and oddly enough, N'awlins is ranks near the bottom in scoring (25th). Coincidentally, the best defensive effort came against Sac-town, which ranks 13th in scoring, and they were held to 11 points below their average. So the defense isn't much improved, but I think we've come to grips with the fact that this team is not going to be a defensive juggernaut. On the other hand, the offense looks smoother. There is more ball movement. The bigs are slashing towards the rim, getting offensive rebounds and easy scores. There just seems to be less of the individual play we saw earlier in the year. This might be in direct correlation to Larry Legend and Drew Gooden not playing, although BG still has some possessions where his contract is obviously doing the thinking. But, for the most part, the offense is looking smoother and the tempo is being pushed. I'm just wondering whether management is attributing this to (gasp!) better coaching, or to the fact our roster is healthy now and some of the younger players are finally playing up to their potential. Who knows, perhaps it a bit of both. Maybe Vinny is learning. I wouldn't bet on it, though. Either way, I hope this recent trend continues as the Bulls may be getting hot at the right time and might just have a second half surge in them to get in the playoffs.
On to the game. I always get excited when these two teams play because they're the two teams I'm most familiar with in the league, and I love rubbing it in all my friends' faces when the Bulls beat them. (You all should have been there to witness the 'Let's go, Bulls!' chant I started with my fellow Bulls fans in a stairwell leaving the arena after Game 4 in '07. I show no mercy to Heat fans.)
These are two of the youngest rosters in the league, both with rookie coaches and rookie point guards, but their formulas for success are very different. The Heat are notorious for playing tough defense, and though he's not coaching it anymore, this team has Pat Riley's fingerprints all over it, and Erik Spoelstra is a good young coach who executes Riley's philosophy. They also have something we lack: a bonafide star. I have to admit as much as I love my Bulls, Dwyane Wade is far and away my favorite player in the league. Since his rookie season he has had the uncanny ability to take over a game, especially late. Besides Kobe, I think D-Wade is the player I'd most like to take a game-winning shot for my team. So if this game is close late, look out for D-Wade. But what also makes D-Wade dangerous is he is also the distributor on that team. His ability to create his own shot and get to the rim commands so much attention that it usually spaces the floor out for the shooters on the team, mainly Mario Chalmers and Daequan Cook (who is an absolute gunner), and to a lesser extent, James Jones, who has recently returned from missing the first two months with an injury, and Shawn Marion, who can occasionally hit an open three. Speaking of Marion, as soon as he gets the ball in his hand, it's important that his defender apply heavy ball pressure. All 'The Matrix' is good for is cutting to the basket. He is terrible when he puts the ball on the floor, so it's key that Deng, Thabo, and Tyrus, who will be the likely defenders assigned to Marion, apply pressure, force him to use his dribble and into some turnovers.
I also want to briefly comment on Chalmers, being that we too have a rookie point guard. Chalmers has impressed and I'm surprised he doesn't get more pub. In the end, he might be the steal of this draft, besides maybe Brook Lopez. It's no wonder Riley traded for him in the draft. I repeat, Riley went out of his way, giving up something, to get a second round pick. Chalmers is a smart point guard who can spot up and plays good defense. He's definitely given Rose a tough time their last two times facing each other. Rose had only 10 points and 3 assists on 3-14 shooting in 38 minutes when these teams played in December. Chalmers also was spectacular in the NCAA championship game last year, hitting the three that sent that game to overtime and won Kansas the title. Riley was on hand to witness that. I'm sure if Miami had the #1 pick, Rose would've been it, but I think Riley feels he got the next best thing in Chalmers.
As previously stated, if this game is close late, that's dangerous for the Bulls. I'm hoping they can get out to an early lead and keep it. The Bulls do have a few things going for them. I think Tyrus and Noah will be trouble for the Heat, whose bigs are non-existent. Udonis Haslem can get in there and get rebounds, but our bigs are longer and more athletic, so the Bulls should win the rebound battle. Also, the Heat are like the Bulls in that they aren't great on the road, and at this point in the season, D-Wade is probably looking for some help. While the Heat possess the superstar, the Bulls possess a depth the Heat can only dream of. Hopefully the Bulls can wear out Wade by neutralizing everyone else and forcing him to try to do too much. Judging by how the Bulls have been playing lately, I'm thinking they win this game and go into the All-Star Break on a high note, and with momentum going into the second half.

You probably didn't know that the Utah Jazz outscored opponents by 5.4 points per 100 possessions with DeMarre Carroll in the game and were outscored by 3.1 points per 100 possessions when he sat. It was only in 1,111 minutes, to be fair, but it wasn't too hard to spot how Carroll's aggression helped the Jazz last season. Why he only played 1,111 minutes while Marvin Williams played 1,727, I'll never know.
That's why I liked the Hawks' decision to give Carroll a two-year, $5 million contract. Atlanta's backup wing options last year were Dahntay Jones and Anthony Tolliver. Carroll is already better than both of them and is still relatively young. Now that he's freed from the weird politics that caused Ty Corbin's odd frontcourt rotations in Utah, he should be able to show why he's the kind of guy that coaches enjoy having on their bench.

Croatia to Kyrgyzstan on a Bike Chain – Part 3
Along the way I encountered a slight problem when I lost my bike pump and promptly received a puncture whilst cycling the gravel roads between Song Kul and Kochkar. Being over 3000 metres above sea level and 70km from the nearest permanent settlement, this was not ideal. After an hour or so of waiting vainly for some sort of vehicle to pass my way, my knight in shining armour arrived in the form of an ancient Lada driven by two bleary-eyed gents. They agreed to shove my bike in the boot and we headed off towards the pass that was the gateway to Lake Issyk-Kul. With half my bike frame sticking out the back of the car we stopped to greet some yak herders before heading over the pass. At this point the driver decided to coast the engine but, in so doing, the brakes became unresponsive.

HOMESTEAD: Ranch cowboy roped into college
Earning $1 a day wasn't enough for Texas A&M grad
Jack V. Williams still remembers the stories his grandfather L.P. Williams told about the early days of gathering wild cattle in the brush country of South Texas around Cotulla and Pearsall.
"Once the cowboys put a sizable herd together, the cattle were turned over to John and Ab Blocker for trail drives up north," Williams said.
The Blockerbrothers were noted for forming a herd of wild steers and driving them to Wyoming Territory. In 1877, they delivered more than 3,000 head to a ranch near Cheyenne.
Looking at a brand book from his grandfather's collection during an interview in October 2008, Jack read entries dating to the 1860s. The number of cattle, brand and earmarks were basis for payment after the herds were sold.
In the expense account part of the pocket book, listings included: a doubletree, 75 cents; a gallon of whiskey, $2; a half barrel of flour, $4; cash to Doogan (a cowboy), $1; a pair of boots and three pairs of socks, $4.75; 80 pounds of pork, $3.20; and a spree in San Antonio, $30.
"My father (R.W. 'Bob' Williams) made his living by running steers," Jack said. "The South Texas range was best suited for steers. In those days, land was leasing for 25 to 30 cents an acre, and my father would run around 4,000 head a year, and if they were fat, he would ship them direct to one of the terminal markets, usually in Kansas City or Chicago. If the steers were not fat, he would send them to grassland in Kansas."
When Jack finished high school, his father wanted him to go to college, but he took a job working as a cowboy on the Indio Ranch near Eagle Pass for $1 per day.
"Two years later, I had some teeth giving me pain, so I went to a dentist," Jack said. "He told me nine teeth needed to be filled and charged me $2 per tooth. I had worked hard for 18 days to pay for the dental work, and the dentist got it all in three hours. I went home and told my dad I decided to go to college.
"My older brother, Ernest, graduated from Texas A&M College in 1932, so I followed in his footsteps and entered A&M in 1933 and graduated in 1937 with a degree in animal husbandry."
Jack's first job after graduation was with the federal government. He was assigned to Concho County as the agricultural adjustment agent (forerunner of the county Extension agent).
When World War II started, Jack went into the Army. After his tour of military duty, he returned to Paint Rock and leased ranchland. He purchased a registered Hereford cattle herd from J.A. Waide, a breeder who had founded the herd in 1913.
Waide had developed the herd from one female of the Fairfax bloodline. He never sold his females, but purchased new bulls. It was a method of building the genetics that Williams followed.
The Williams Hereford Ranch became known as the home of the famous herd sire Sam Domino, followed by another top-siring bull named Sam Donald.
Jack Williams married Stella Elizabeth "Teddye" Wardlaw of Ballinger in April 1939. They had one daughter, Vicky, who married Josh Harrison of College Station. Vicky and Josh had two sons: Joshua and David.

News: Royce Da 5'9 Responds To J-Hood, "Rap N***a Rappin' His Way To His Demise" [Audio]
Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1:35PM
Slaughterhouse's Royce Da 5'9 has responded to a diss video by J-Hood on his new song "Hottest in the Hood," warning the rapper to watch his wordplay.
While primarily focusing on the former D-Block member, Royce also uses the track to address Joe Budden's rap nemesis Ransom.
"Your nose in the shotgun like J-Hood," Royce rapped. "Speaking of him, he's a bum/Hundred rounds, hundred pounds of punks get done/Rap n*gga rappin' his way to his demise/I ain't Ransom, chump, I don't shoot in the sky...J-Hood, you lunch/Lil five foot n*gga type you could rob at punch point/Ha, laugh at you, ain't got the heart to pull a piece and blast you/Smaller than my niece...For the cake, I'll battle a savage/F*ck a cop, show me the green I'll bring malice/You trying to drop hip-hop, I'm trying to grab it/From you ringtone n*ggas, fake G's and f*ggots." ("Hottest In The Hood")
J-Hood was featured in a video clip earlier this month dissing both Budden and Royce.
"Out with the old, in with the new," Hood said. "Talking greasy about your boy man, Joe Buddens and that Royce Da 5'6 n*gga on stage at S.O.B.'s performing that wack a** sh*t...You feel a way about what I'm saying at you, get at me. I hit you on MySpace, I told you you was p*ssy and you wanna get at me directly, you wrote me back with the paragraph...get the f*ck outta here before I slap your whole f*cking head off." (Trilla DVD)
Since his departure from D-Block, Hood has caught the attention of bloggers and underground hip-hop heads.
Damn fam. Just when I thought this dude was gonna disappear... he's back. But only this time, he's not running around with his head cut off. You ever heard of the "chicken little syndrome"? Basically it's when someone goes into a frenzy and starts yelling "the sky is falling!" ... but everyone tunes them out." He took Jadakiss' "Letter to B.I.G" and attempted a weak, wack, corny spin-off of the overly recycled joint. That somehow managed to become more recycled than Lil Wayne's "A Milli." (SOHH NYC)
Slaughtehouse currently consists of four regional rappers.
Made up of the West Coast's Crooked I, Detroit's Royce Da 5'9, Brooklyn's Joell Ortiz and Jersey City, New Jersey's Joe Budden, the group recently discussed how they came together. Budden claims the group was formed after performing on the song "Slaughterhouse" from his digital release Halfway House featuring the three members. "We all agreed the record was great," Ortiz said in an interview. "And we wanted to keep making great music." (Hip Hop Official)

| Phantom Farms in Cumberland, R.I., Has a Classic New England Vibe
Phantom Farms, Cumberland, RI (photo by Eric H.)
Article and photo by Eric H.
Aesthetically pleasing with its cornstalks, rocking chairs, and colorful flowers (and pumpkins in the fall) gracing its traditional New England-style front porch and adjoining snack deck, Phantom Farms offers a love-at-first-sight presence that has more in common with a classic Vermont village rather than a northern Rhode Island Providence suburb.
Best known as a terrific apple picking destination during the fall (come early, the 15 varieties of apples get picked over quickly as the season goes on), Phantom Farms equally warms our New England souls year-round with a country bake and gift shop, garden center, and flower shop. The bake shop remains, hands-down, our favorite retail subdivision here with delicious pies (try the blueberry!), pastries, muffins, whoopie pies, fudge brownies, bagels, and perhaps the most amazing, sweet concoction on the planet: pumpkin mousse roll!
Of course, Phantom Farms offers all the familiar roadside stand favorites like fresh apple cider, jams, a candy counter, gift baskets with fruit, as well a dazzling pumpkin patch in the fall, wreaths and trees for the Christmas holiday season, and plants and mulch for the spring and summer. Add fun, seasonal events like the Easter Egg Hunt, Apple and Pumpkin Harvest Weekends, a Kids Fair and Christmas Jubilee, and you've got a permanent roadside farm friend -- the ideal local business that works hard to please the customer.
It's really no wonder Phantom Farms has been known as a local family tradition for more than 50 years in the Blackstone Valley region of Rhode Island. We heartily recommend this roadside treasure for the locals, as well as those traveling New England in search of a wonderful farm stand.

Lots of stuff to report since yesterday. We know the quarter-finalists, and all the teams that will participate in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. We've also experienced the downfall of two traditional european powerhouses, and the survival of two others.
First, concerning the quarter-final games of yesterday:
France 74 - 68 Greece:
The best team the French have ever fielded in the last 11 years (at least) found itself against a team that has little resmblance with the team that beat them back in 2005, or with the team that competed in the last worlds. A young greek side completely outplayed the French in every tactical aspect of the game, playing amazing defense, controlling the boards and the tempo of the game, restraining Parker (for 3 quarters...), completely shutting off any inside game of the French and responding to every offensive adjustment. The risk of the low-score, closed game Greece wanted (and got) was the fact that it is in such situations that personal greatness can shape the result. Parker, De Colo and Batum scored 50 combined points for France, with De Colo keeping them alive during the first half and Parker - Batum winning the game in the last period. It was then that Greece was betrayed by their outside shooting (they went 3-21) and started missing FTs. The final score doesn't do justice to a determined Greece that played with cunning and determination, but eventually lost to the overwhelming talent difference.
Russia 77 - 67 Serbia:
(didn't watch the game) Apparently Serbia *again* showed their lack of motivation against Russia, who had a whopping 12 steals and 6 blocks in a tenacious defensive effort. Offensively, Serbia had to rely on Teodosic, who was turnover-prone. Kirilenko, on the other side, had another double-double, and delivered when his team needed him most. That's all, I didn't expect Serbia to win anyway.
Today's games:
Greece 87 - 77 Serbia:
Yesterday's losers squared off today. Greece was obviously motivated, jumped on Serbia early, clamped down on defense and played the rest of the game in stand-by mode, preserving a 20-point lead and letting it dwindle up to the 10 points of the final score. The best team won.
Spain vs FYROM:
no need to write anything here. The dream ends for FYROM, Spain gets a win. Can't say if it will be easy, but the talent difference is just immense.
France vs Russia:
France was entirely unconvincing yesterday, in contrast to Russia, which continue their solid play. I expect a physical game. If Russia can defend the perimeter and not allow France's guards to go berserk, they stand a very good chance of winning. If not, it will be personal greatness that defeats them, not teamwork. France still looks a bit like a patchwork.

Kristin Davis was the belle of the ball at the 13th Annual Costumer Designers Guild Awards which was held in Beverly Hills last night.
She wore a princessy Oscar de la Renta Spring 2011 strapless gown.
The ivory silk tulle and black dot embroidered gown was accented with a black satin bow belt.
The Oscar de la Renta devotee picked the perfect dress for her.
I would've been dying over this look if she's worn her hair back.
It's minor, but I think it would've made the world of difference.
BDOTW worthy??

Photo: Barrick Gold in Latin America
Canadian mining and oil companies have rapidly expanded their investments in Latin America in recent years, but they also face serious allegations of human rights abuses as well as legal disputes with regional governments over their labor, social and environmental practices.
In Chile, a court has halted Canadian mining major Barrick Gold's Pascua-Lama open-pit gold, silver and copper megaproject straddling Argentina and Chile due to environmental concerns.
In Bolivia, Canada's South American Silver Corporation commenced international arbitration proceedings against the Bolivian government after La Paz revoked its concession for a silver and indium mine in the Andean region of Potosi.
In Peru, Canadian oil company Talisman Energy withdrew from the country's Amazon region after years of protests and run-ins with Achuar Indians who oppose the drilling of oil wells on its traditional lands.
Troubles related to their Latin American operations even dog Canadian firms in their homeland.
In March, a Toronto court held a hearing to determine whether lawsuits filed against Canadian miner HudBay Minerals for alleged human rights violations in Guatemala should be heard in the North American country.
And Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina's administration said Thursday it had imposed a state of siege on four municipalities in the eastern part of the country to rein in violence stemming from protests over the government's decision to authorize the San Rafael mining project, which is operated by Canada-based Tahoe Resources.
According to the spokesman for the non-profit organization Mining Watch, Jamie Kneen, who has followed Canadian mining activities abroad since 1999, these cases are just the tip of the iceberg of these companies' bad practices.
"The situation is much worse. This is what we know, but there's much more that we don't hear about. And we have to be very careful about what we say," Kneen told Efe.
Kneen said the Canadian mining sector is backed by a very powerful lobby that includes nearly all of the country's former prime ministers, "who work as lawyers or advisers for the mining companies."
Canada, a country known for its natural resources, has become one of the world's leading foreign investors in the mining and energy sectors.
According to the latest data published in January of this year by Canada's Natural Resources Ministry, Canadian mining companies had $213.1 billion in assets in 2011, 15 percent more than the previous year.
Most significantly, 70 percent of the total, or $146.2 billion, were located in 106 foreign countries worldwide, demonstrating the extent of Canadian investment in the global mining sector.
The countries that account for most of the Canadian mining companies' assets are Mexico ($20 billion), Chile ($19 billion) and the United States ($17 billion).
Mining Watch and other organizations such as Rights Action and Amazon Watch, which have denounced Canadian mining companies' activities in recent years, say Canadian embassies in Latin America act as representatives of those firms' commercial interests.
After the coup that ousted leftist Honduran President Manuel Zelaya in 2009, Rights Action noted that Canadian companies' interests were served by the putsch.
At the time, Canada criticized the coup that ousted Zelaya but it did not demand he be returned to power and urged only that "a peaceful solution" be found to the crisis.
Kneen told Efe that it is "difficult" to ignore a series of coincidences.
"The Canadian government was very quick to recognize the government that came to power (as a result of) the coup. CIDA, Canada's international development agency, was involved in last year's overhaul of Honduras' mining code. The mining companies had problems with Zelaya," Kneen said.
And the coup occurred shortly after Zelaya had imposed a moratorium (on new mining concessions) in the Honduran mining sector. It's very difficult not to draw conclusions," Kneen said.

Who is going to Vikes/Bills Oct 1?
I think I remember someone posting on here a while back that they might be going to this game.
Just wondered how many PPO'ers we have up in that area, and who is planning on attending the game?
I used to have great Bills season tickets through an old job I had, but never got to see the Vikings up there.
I called someone who still works for that company to see if they still existed, but they have since let them go.
There is an outside chance that I might be up in that area on a business trip around that time, so I was going to see if I could get those tickets for old time sake.
I am not sure of my travel plans yet, but if I would plan the trip around that weekend what is the ticket situation like up there in Buffalo these days?
Just wondered how tough tickets would be to come by if I wanted to try?
With the Bills looking pretty strong the first two weeks it should be a pretty good game.
