Fresh Sustainable Fish - Your strategies?
I've significantly boosted the amount of fish I eat (from about zero to now at least three or four meals a month) over the past few months. Almost all of the fish is fresh (or sold thawed after previously having been frozen).
When it comes to sustainability of the world's fishes, I'd like to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, but it seems that many of the fresh fish being sold in my local fish markets are on the "avoid" lists in terms of at-risk species. The number of readily available "acceptable" fish species is small enough that it threatens to become boring very quickly.
And that's just sustainable species -- saying nothing about the specific methods used by the fishers to catch the fish.
What, if any, strategies have you been using when deciding which fresh fish to buy?
I carry the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Sustainable Seafood Guide with me all the time, and whip it out at the fish store as well as in restaurants.
We carry the MB Seafood Guide too. Sometimes it draws a few stares but that's inevitable. The first time my husband used it at our local market the fish monger thought he was an inspector. At the farmers'market we shop at there is a distributer of locally caught fish and many days he has wild caught salmon from the west coast. We live in Massachusetts and as much as we love salmon (we don't buy farmed salmon), we only buy fish that's been caught humanely and sustainably from local waters. So far so good.
Another thing is I have several cookbooks that focus primarily on seafood and those give many alternative cooking methods as you might imagine. Any general cookbook worth it's salt will have a pretty decent seafood chapter as well.
MBA Seafood Guide -- also ask if your supermarket/restaurant carries Gulf Wild trackable seafood. Really cool, new program by conservation-minded Gulf fishermen. http://blogs.edf.org/edfish/2011/03/2...
If you really want to protect wild stocks and genetic diversity, eat only farm raised seafood and non-native invasive species. The lionfish here in Florida is quite tasty and is destroying our local reef fish. The invasive asian carp is great in a variety of ways. Ask your Jewish friends. And as a replacement for grouper. Many of your large shrimp and prawns come from ponds in South East Asia. They destroy the mangroves to build them, but that is their problem.
Fresh fish, unless you catch it out your door, has a huge carbon footprint. A factory ship is much more ecologically sound for the processing and transport of fish products.
By-catch is a whole other discussion.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Are Asian Carp the fish that are prone to jump out of the water when they hear a boat motor and coldcock boaters upside the head?
re: EWSflash
Thems the ones. Speedboating on the upper Mississippi is a full contact sport.
This is my first post so please be gentle with me my foody friends.
I definitely prefer fresh fish in terms of flavour but I do every so often purchase some frozen product. In my case I noticed that there have been big changes in the frozen fish sections of my two main go to markets (Whole Foods and Costco).
Have a look at this link
It would seem that Costco has ditches several unsustainable species, which means we can all be a bit more relaxed about buying our fish there, in the case of course where we aren't looking for fresh.
Plus with Costco the price is a bit easier to swallow.
Cheers to all and happy fishing/cooking
re: delys77
I hope it stays that way.
re: delys77
Welcome Delys77!
More here about Costco's great policy change on sustainable seafood http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/news...
Trader Joe's also carries only sustainable seafood
And for anyone with an Iphone or Android the Monterey Bay Aquarium now has a Seafood Watch app http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr...

Margaret Koch did not know what she was going to do when her home repair cost began to wear down on her finances. She had only lived in her home for two years and the cost of major plumbing and home maintenance repairs were becoming too costly and overwhelming for her monthly fixed income.
"It is really frustrating when you feel like you have done everything right, and there are still obstacles that seem impossible to overcome."
As a first time homebuyer Margaret thought she had did everything to ensure that she was purchasing a home that would fit her needs and budget. Margaret stated that she had two home inspections completed and both stated that the home was not in need of any major repairs.
It was shortly after Margaret moved in that her plumbing started backing up and causing issues. "I had plumber after plumber come in and try to fix the issue." She had hired a company to go inside the plumbing and replace a pipe that had collapsed. Once the company notified her that the work was complete she was still facing regular plumbing and back up issues. "Even after I fixed the problem, I was spending nearly $200 a month on plumbing repairs." Margaret explained.
"It was not until I found NeighborWorks that there was light at the end of the tunnel…I called NeighborWorks and Robert was here the next week. They helped me find contractors to fix my plumbing issues, and also discovered that the original work was not completed." Margaret explained
NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources worked with Margaret to find a contractor that could complete the necessary home repairs at a cost that she could afford.
"I would not have been able to complete these repairs without NeighborWorks. I will have a small loan payment, but it is a payment I can afford." Margaret explained. "If I would not have found NeighborWorks, I would have had to sell my home."
NeighborWorks® Dakota Home Resources is able to provide low interest rate loans and forgivable loans for home rehabilitation and repair projects throughout Western South Dakota, thanks to the support from NeighborWorks® America, South Dakota Housing Development Authority, US Bank and Wells Fargo Bank.
NeighborWorks® Dakota Home Resources completes around thirty home rehab projects annually. Assistance ranges from replacement of furnaces and hot water heaters, to updating electrical and plumbing homes. In 2013, NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources invested over $100,000 into preserving and rehabbing affordable homes throughout Western South Dakota.
Margaret explained that she could not have been happier with the contractors that completed the repairs. "They did quality work, and Neighbor Works was there for me whenever I had any questions."
NeighborWorks® Dakota Home Resources is a private non-profit organization that works to assist families with their dream of homeownership and revitalize the communities to improve the quality of life. NeighborWorks® Dakota Home Resources can assist you in fixing your home. Call NeighborWorks® Dakota Home Resources at 605-578-1401 for more information.

Brian has yet to fill out a bio.
Hi Brian,
I'd love to get your input on something I'm working on for my journalism class. I'm writing a feature about teams' performances thus far as well as expectations for the remainder of the season. My email is edbrooke @ usc . edu so just shoot me an email if you'd be interested!
Strong possibility of the NFL being diluted in quality, by extending the regular season to 18 games. My solution generates additional league revenue and increased competition, without sacrificing the quality and integrity of the NFL.
Possible Solution for NFL 18 game Schedule
Brian, I think you missed one name on the Meathead list - Ravens player Ray Lewis. He was indicted for murder, turned States evidence on two friends and got off, then returned to playing in the NFL with no suspension. I think he should have been on that list!
Hey Brian, when you get a chance, check out my new list on the "10 Most Intriguing Players" of the upcoming season.

There's something fitting about Big Head Todd & the Monsters positioning themselves as a cover band. They've put out a dozen albums—half within the last decade—but haven't had a bona fide radio hit since 1998. (Given the regular rotation "Bittersweet" still seems to get on Cities 97—this isn't just my imagination is it?—Minnesotans might easily overlook this fact.) They are at once a household name and anonymous; they tour constantly, but it's a rare fan who knows all their songs. So don't be surprised if, to win the crowd during their gig this week at the State Fair, BHT&M perform a very solid rendition of the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden," a song featured on their recently released Rocksteady. And don't be surprised if it's not the best thing they play. Rocksteady is a diverse, impressive album—the styles range from reggae to blues to something indefinable but prominently involving a harmonica—and considering the polished stage presence they've developed over the last 20 years, the familiar should combine with the unknown to make for an engaging show.

By New Times
Tramps & Thieves' first full-length release (with a whopping 16 tracks) is a lot more rockin' than the band's 2004 Mill Avenue CowboysEP, with fewer acoustic moments and more straight-up shit-kickin' songs that address issues like the Iraq war, outlaw hippies, and hallucinating in the desert. Songs like "Sidewinder" and "Call You Baby" capture the band's affection for country ballads and winsome harmonica, but it's blazing tunes like "Barnburner," with its honky-tonk gee-tar and "yee-haw" vibe, that make the listener wanna get up and line-dance. There are some sonic snags when T&T tries on some blues in the song "Dusty Wheels," some folk in the title track (which takes its rhythm and riffs straight from Cat Stevens' "The First Cut Is the Deepest"), and some cheesy "woo-oo-oo" pop backing vocals on the song "Porcupine Jacket," but the band redeems itself on country-rock fusions like "Harlan's Coming Home," where singer Emmet DeGuvera whose voice often resembles Elton John's timbre adopts a country drawl to sing about a soldier's homecoming . . . in a casket. "I won't be cheering when Fallujah falls," DeGuvera sings, "because I don't understand why we're there at all." The political commentary of these desert dudes won't produce the kind of backlash the Dixie Chicks had to endure, but at least T&T made one more song that Dubya won't be adding to his country mix on Air Force One.

Mastros - Paying for a stomach ache
I have 2 major complaints with Mastros:
1) Why do they drench a great piece of meat in butter? I had the bone-in rib-eye which is wonderfully marbeled and full of flavor. Not sure why Mastros ruins the steak by putting butter on it. Given the amount of fat in a rib-eye, there is already enough flavor. I seriously felt sick all night, as did one of the other diners at my table.
2) Why do they serve the steaks piping hot? For maximum flavor, one needs to let the sit "rest" for a period of time after cooking. So basically, they placed the steak in front of me and then I had to sit there eyeing my steak for 5+ minutes waiting for it to rest.
re: carter
As you know, I've preached the "chilled salad plate" strategy at Ruth's for quite some time. Although Ruth's occasionally screws up on getting the cold plate, Mastro's never has (at least for us) and a charred-rare is delivered perfectly. Order the chilled plate when you order your drinks. Then remind the server. And again.
Here, here ...
(and doesn't Dan Tana do the same thing -- drench the steak in butter?)
BTW - I like my steaks piping hot. When I grill at home, I burn my mouth on the juice -- but I have learned that that is an idiosyncracy.
I personally love the butter on the steak (which is why I also like Ruth's Chris) and I like my steak piping hot. To each his (or her) own.
Butter on a steak is actually a French tradition, particularly in Normandie (where they put butter on EVERYTHING, including cheese). It's a taste thing, really, although since it's not as traditional here it would be better if they told you ahead of time (or put it on the menu, or something) so that you'd know to ask for yours without.
As for letting the meat rest, I have no idea why they wouldn't. Did you ask them? Seems that any restaurant that specializes in steak would do this as a matter of course.
I think the sizzling steak is about the drama of presentation (and yes, it really does need to sit...but if you order sides and a refreshed drink, by the time all the activity settles, it usually has rested a few minutes. Mastro's goes for the drama fromt the dry ice on the shrimp cocktaila and those seafood towers to the "sizzlin'" steaks...that mega hot plate so near my arm drives me crazy. But after one of their martini's I'm ready to go with the flow.
I agree on the butter...and at Ruth Chris I had a steakt that was literally "swimming" in the stuff...Mastro's seems to not be quite so bad...I always ask them to hold hte butter...and if it's not butter, then it's almost always soaked in olive oil before hand...the oil/butter is what gives the steak that nice charred look, isn't it?
These so called steakhouses are nothing more than splurges, but rarely offer good value.
An $8 to $10/lb filet on sale from Stater Bros (yes, you can sweet talk them into cutting you nicely trimmed thick pieces) marinated for several hours in a touch of olive oil, splash of balsamic and plenty of coarse pepper and some minced garlic, then chargrilled medium rare over intensely hot coals yields a steak comparable to or even tastier than the fancy houses.
Understand, no one shelling out $40 a pop for a bare steak at Mastro's would ever knowlingly admit to anything like that. But don't tell your guests where the meat's from or how it's prepared and see what raves you get. We've done it enough times to know it works like a charm, never the tiniest of morsels left behind. And BTW, if we weren't enthralled eating our own cooking, we wouldn't dream of serving it to others.
Yeah, I hate the hot plate thing too. It just keeps the meat cooking.
I went to a Ruth's Chris some years ago and ordered a ribeye extra rare, it came out medium. Medium, and I blame a combination of cooks and stupid hot plates.
That's great for fajitas, but leave it out of my steak experiences.
As for the butter...yes, please.

Conservative MP for Wild Rose (Alberta)
Won his last election, in 2011, with 74.70% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Television Broadcasting September 22nd, 2014
Mr. Speaker, as the saying goes, if a company is successful, Liberals want to tax it; if it is still successful, they want to regulate it; and when it stops being successful, they will subsidize it.
How else do we explain the relentless calls for a Netflix tax from the Liberals? Whether they are demanding that the CRTC regulate Internet video or force Netflix to air content nobody actually wants to watch, the Liberals are, as always, failing to stand up for consumers, who are increasingly watching Netflix and YouTube.
While we await, with interest, the outcome of CRTC's Let's Talk TV hearings, we note that the CRTC has declined in the past to regulate Internet video, and we support that position. If the CRTC changes its position and starts taxing YouTube and Netflix, the government will overturn it.
Our position is clear: no Netflix tax. Leave Netflix and YouTube viewers alone.
Veterans Affairs June 20th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, due to the efforts of our government and based on our tremendous respect for their service to our country, Canada's injured veterans may receive an average monthly benefit of between $4,000 to $6,000. These are supports that our injured veterans need and deserve.
Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs please update this House on the benefits that our government provides to injured veterans and their families?
Tourism Week June 16th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, this being tourism week, we celebrate the continued success of this key industry, which brings jobs and economic growth to every single region of this country.
The year 2013 was outstanding for all of the industry's key partners, from the Tourism Industry Association of Canada and the Canadian Tourism Commission, to private sector hospitality and tourism operators. All major tourism indicators for Canada are positive, with solid growth in tourism revenue, GDP, arrivals, and employment. Canada's tourism sector generates almost $85 billion in revenues annually and supports over 600,000 jobs.
The good news does not end there. Rendez-vous Canada, the CTC's premier international tourism marketplace, saw record-breaking attendance. These international buyers are our partners in the trillion-dollar global tourism industry, where every 1% increase in Canadian arrivals is equivalent to $817 million in growth in Canadian exports.
On behalf of our government and all members of this House, my congratulations to the Canadian tourism sector on yet another successful year.
Petitions June 12th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour today to present petitions that contain about 3,600 signatures collected by Kim Thomas, who is from the town of Cochrane in my riding, and her many friends and family, in conjunction with the group Families for Justice, after her son Brandon Thomas was tragically killed by an impaired driver in 2012.
In the interests of public safety, the petitioners call upon the government to implement tougher laws and new mandatory minimum sentencing for those persons convicted of impaired driving causing death.
Main Estimates, 2014-15 June 10th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate when points of order are abused to try and carry on debate.
However, what the NDP is proposing to do here, there is no question, would obviously cause significant issues in our Parliament.
If the NDP members want to put forward Senate reform proposals, they should put forward a proposal. We have done that a number of times, but they have opposed that every chance we have given them. Trying to do something through the back door in this kind of way is just another example of the NDP amateur hour. It is certainly not a party that could be credibly considered as a governing alternative in this country in any way.
Main Estimates, 2014-15 June 10th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the minister certainly makes a very good point.
We all know what NDP members have as their agenda. We know the member for Winnipeg Centre is no stranger to what we would call a cockamamie stunt or scheme.
The member is right, to pull the funding allocation for a legislative body in this Parliament would shut it down completely. In order to reform something, one has to make concrete proposals and changes, which is something that our government has brought forward and tried to do, with opposition every step of the way from NDP members.
Main Estimates, 2014-15 June 10th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I find it highly rich to hear a Liberal member stand in the House of Commons and talk about Senate reform. His leader's contribution to the idea of reforming the Senate is to take all the Liberal senators and turn them into Senate Liberals in some kind of publicity stunt. That is all it really was. Then on top of that, the member's idea to try to further reform the Senate going forward is to appoint people to appoint the senators. That seems a lot more democratic. I am sure that would make the Senate far more democratic. If his leader were to appoint some people who would then appoint senators, I think that would make it much more democratic.
I think it should be made clear that the sarcasm was evident in those comments. I do not know if the member thinks, like his colleague from Scarborough—Guildwood, that it was a bozo eruption from his leader or if that was a legitimate proposal, but certainly appointing people to appoint senators would not do anything to create more democratic legitimacy in the Senate; that is for sure.
Main Estimates, 2014-15 June 10th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I find it unfortunate that the member chose to very selectively listen to the comments I made. I made a number of comments, and what I did was very clearly lay out exactly what has transpired since our government has taken office. We have always believed there is a need to reform the Senate. We believe it has an important role to play in Parliament, but there does need to be reform in the Senate. I have outlined throughout my remarks this evening all of the attempts we have made to try to create that reform, to create a democratic process that is a voluntary one for the provinces and territories to be able to choose their senators.
We have made attempts to put in term limits and there were a variety of reforms, but guess what? We have been unable to make those changes because the opposition parties have failed to support any of those changes. It is unfortunate that the member stands and tries to cast aspersions on our idea of reforming the Senate and how important we believe that reform is, because members opposite have blocked every single attempt we made to try to create those reforms. The fault lies squarely over there.
Main Estimates, 2014-15 June 10th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have this opportunity tonight to speak to the proposal by the member for Winnipeg Centre to oppose Vote No. 1—Parliament, to provide the program expenditures to the Senate in the amount of $57,532,359 in the main estimates.
My remarks, I should say off the top, should in no way be confused as a ringing endorsement of the status quo in the Senate. Our government has consistently tried to reform the Senate while always recognizing the important role the Senate plays in our parliamentary system. That recognition is in direct opposition to the views of the sponsor of this motion, whose party would like to summarily abolish the institution. That is what the motion of the member for Winnipeg Centre would effectively do by depriving the Senate of the resources it needs to function.
Our government has always believed that while the Senate plays an important role in our parliamentary system, it needs to be improved to better serve Canadians in the way it was originally conceived.
A review of our government's record since taking office in 2006 demonstrates not only our government's commitment to Senate reform but also our flexibility in accommodating different views about Senate reform.
Legislation was first introduced in the 39th Parliament in April 2006 to limit Senate tenure to a period of eight years. Bill S-4 at the time proposed to amend section 29 of the Constitution Act of 1867 to limit Senate tenure to a renewable term of eight years and to remove mandatory retirement at 75 years for new senators coming in.
Also in the 39th Parliament in 2006, our government introduced Bill C-43, the Senate appointment consultations act. That was a bill that would have provided for a national consultation process through which Canadians would be consulted on their choice of candidates for appointment to the Senate. That was obviously modelled after efforts made in my home province of Alberta, where we had undertaken any number of these consultations in the past and where we had senators who were essentially elected by the people of Alberta. It was modelled after that particular idea, the innovative approach taken by my home province of Alberta. Unfortunately, as with the term limits bill, the opposition parties refused to support these important reforms.
In the second session of the 39th Parliament in 2007, our government introduced Bill C-19, an act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (Senate tenure), here in the House of Commons. Bill C-19 proposed to limit Senate tenure to a period of eight years, the same as the bill we introduced in the Senate a year earlier. However, there were a couple of important modifications.
First, while Bill S-4 did not expressly forbid the possibility of renewable terms, Bill C-19 did in fact expressly provide for a non-renewable term.
Second, Bill C-19 contained the provision to permit a Senate term to be completed after an interruption. An example would be a term interrupted by a resignation. Despite these changes and our government's determined effort to bring change to an institution that had remained largely unchanged since 1867, the time of our Confederation, the opposition parties steadfastly refused to support our legislation.
Then, of course, our government was re-elected in 2008 with a mandate to reform the Senate, and we went to work on that. In the 40th parliament in 2009, our government introduced Bill S-7, an act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (Senate term limits). It was introduced in the Senate, and it included two key changes.
The first was the idea of eight-year term limits. That limit would apply to all senators appointed after October 14, 2008, with the eight-year terms beginning from the time that the bill received royal assent. Then, of course, the retirement age of 75 years would be maintained for all senators. Once again, even this modest but important reform was opposed by the opposition parties.
In 2010, our government introduced Bill S-8, the senatorial selection act. It was a bill to encourage the provinces and territories to implement their own democratic processes for the selection of Senate nominees. It would have democratized the Senate and provided an opportunity for the provinces and territories to implement the processes to enable that to happen. This act included a voluntary framework that set out a basis for provinces to consult with voters on appointments to the Senate going forward.
We all know what happened there: the opposition parties refused to support that reform too. Is anyone sensing any kind of pattern here?
That year our government also reintroduced the Senate term limits bill, Bill C-10. That bill died on the order paper upon the dissolution of Parliament. Can we guess why? It was due to a lack of will for reform from the opposition parties once again. They refused to support any idea of reform in the Senate.
Canadians gave another mandate to our government in the election of May 2011 to again make changes to the Senate. A month and a half later, on June 21, 2011, our government introduced Bill C-7, the Senate reform act. Members can probably imagine where this is going. Bill C-7 would have implemented a nine-year non-renewable term for senators. That goes back to the point I raised earlier about being flexible and accommodating. Some concerns had been raised about the eight years, so we went for a nine-year non-renewable term.
As well, that bill would have once again enabled a voluntary framework for the provinces to implement Senate appointment consultations. Processes were put in place for that. As with all the other times, the opposition parties still would not change their minds. They refused to support meaningful Senate reform.
Throughout all of those debates on the Senate, time and time again our commitment to reform was crystal clear, as was our recognition of the value of the Senate in our parliamentary system.
Our commitment to reform was also demonstrated by a reference to the Supreme Court of Canada on Senate reform that our government launched in an effort to clarify questions about the constitutionality of legislation that we brought forward. While we were obviously disappointed by the court's decision, it is unfortunately one that all governments will have to respect going forward.
However, the court's opinion does not in any way change our view that improvements to the Senate are needed, nor does it change our view about the value the Senate can play in our bicameral legislative system. My hope certainly remains that reform will be accomplished at some point in the future.
In the meantime, there are other ways of improving the operation of the Senate, as demonstrated by the measures that the Senate itself has initiated to improve transparency and accountability with regard to its expenses.
The Senate plays a key role in the review of legislation. My Liberal colleague across the way can debate what sober second thought means, but he was right that this idea of sober second thought is a learned opinion of second thought. That is something the Senate provides, and it has resulted in improvements to legislation in the past.
The Senate also plays an important role in its committees in the investigation of issues of importance to Canadians. Certainly, the committees, as has been mentioned already in the debate this evening, have produced comprehensive reports. They have produced many, in fact, that have proven to be of tremendous value to the debate and to learning and understanding here in Parliament and throughout Canada. The Kirby report on mental health was an example of that. There was a study done by the national finance committee in the Senate on the price gap between Canada and the U.S. Again, the national finance committee looked studied the elimination of the penny. I could go on and on, citing reports that have been helpful and that have come from the Senate.
There is no doubt that, while the Senate is one of our key institutions here in Parliament, it has been hampered in its role by the lack of accountability that we have seen. There is no question. This lack of accountability has, in turn, been created by the lack of a democratic basis to the system of appointments. Despite the best efforts of most senators and the good work that does get done, some have questioned the legitimacy of the Senate because it lacks that democratic basis.
As I said earlier, I personally do not question the work of the Senate. However, clearly the events of the past year or so have fairly resulted in some damage to its reputation. While we agree about the need for improved accountability, and there is no question that it is needed, we do not believe that the solution is to remove the Senate altogether from our parliamentary system. Rather than destroy the institution and the valuable role it does and can play, we continue to believe that it can be improved and that it can continue to function as one of our key institutions.
Clearly, the recent decision by the Supreme Court on the Senate reform reference has changed the outlook considerably on the reform front. However, improvements can still occur, and the Senate itself has been a leader in that regard over the past year. The Senate has an important role to play in making the improvements. That it has the responsibility to regulate its own affairs is the prime reason for that.
I would draw to members' attention section 33 of the Constitution Act of 1867, which says:
If any Question arises respecting the Qualification of a Senator or a Vacancy in the Senate the same shall be heard...by the Senate.
The Senate has made some progress in dealing with the issues it has faced in this area of financial accountability and transparency. Much of the progress has been the result of the investigations carried out by the Senate Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration. As a result of that committee's recommendations, the Senate has adopted new administrative rules to render the reporting system more transparent and to tighten the requirements that senators must meet in filing their expense claims. Some senators have been required to reimburse the Senate for expenses that were considered to be improperly claimed.
The Senate has also asked the Auditor General to conduct an audit of Senate expenses, which will take place in the months ahead. The Senate has also acted by suspending several senators without pay or without access to Senate resources. It seems as if the Senate is taking these matters into its own hands, as it should. Our government has encouraged the Senate to address these issues, and it supports the progress that has already been made.
Since 2006, our government has made a number of attempts to reform the Senate, as I have outlined throughout my remarks here this evening, and as I have indicated, the opposition parties have continued to stand in our way every single time. We as a government continue to believe that providing a democratic basis for the Senate would be a vast improvement and that it would in turn improve accountability.
Our reform efforts, of course, culminated with the introduction of Bill C-7, the Senate reform act, in the last Parliament. Bill C-7 would have introduced non-renewable terms of nine years and provided for a voluntary framework, which provinces and territories could use as a basis to consult their populations on their preferences for Senate nominees, again, as I have indicated, much like what has been done in my home province of Alberta many times. It has produced some great senators, some senators with democratic legitimacy and accountability. The ideas in Bill C-7 were real and concrete measures to reform the Senate.
Unfortunately, our efforts to move those important reforms forward came to an end with the release of the Supreme Court's decision on the Senate reform reference. The fact that in that reference we included a question on abolition was not in any way an indication that our government favoured abolition as an instrument. Our first choice has always been the introduction of reforms that would enhance the Senate's democratic legitimacy.
The Senate certainly has an important role to play in our system. I believe that abolition would remove an important player in the parliamentary system and would leave a huge hole in the legislative process, and for no good reason. Those who know even a little about our system of government, just a bit, know that the Senate has an important role to play in our system, despite what opposition parties may have tried to claim. The Senate's role in the legislative review process is invaluable to our system. We need to continue to provide the Senate with the resources it needs to function effectively.
Of course, we expect the Senate to treat those funds with respect. There have been a number of rule changes designed to ensure that is what is happening. However, we cannot simply remove the entire allocation to the Senate. As I said, we have brought forward a number of suggestions and bills, both in the Senate and in this place, seeking to provide the reform, to create the democratic legitimacy, and to create the accountability that we believe is necessary in the Senate. As I have said, every single time, time and time again, those measures and those attempts to make the reform were blocked by the opposition parties. They would not support anything we tried to do in terms of reform. We brought forward a number of different proposals. We were willing to be flexible, we were willing to be accommodating, we tried different approaches, and we did everything we could to see that reform come to fruition, but the opposition parties refused to allow reform to happen, every single time.
As I have indicated, we understand that there have been some issues with regard to expenses and whatnot in the Senate over the last year or so. There is a need to address those issues and create better accountability. As I have said tonight, there have certainly been efforts undertaken in the Senate itself to try to accomplish those things, and we continue to encourage and support that. We know that reform is something that needs to happen some time in the future. Hopefully, we will get some recognition of that from the opposition parties at some point in time. We can keep trying and hoping, but what we cannot do is simply remove the entire allocation from the Senate and pretend it never existed, and that is what is being proposed here tonight.
I cannot support the proposal by the member for Winnipeg Centre to oppose this allocation of the resources to the Senate, which is clearly a thinly disguised attempt to abolish an institution that fills an important function in our legislative process.
Democratic Reform June 9th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the Toronto Star has wrongly reported that the fair elections act will allow people to vote by having someone vouch for who they are. This is clearly a factual error, because the fair elections act ends identity vouching altogether.
Can the Minister of State for Democratic Reform remind the House of the new requirement that every voter present a physical piece of ID before voting?

Resolutions limited to default display??? vs. Chipset
this concerns finding/using ALL supported resolutions - Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on a HP dv6-1350us.
When I use the usual tool to 'change resolution' it appears to me that unlike the Adapter control panel in XP, Windows 7 is offering an "easy" slider that only reveals the resolutions that can be used on the default display, in this case the laptops 15" screen.
I need, rather, to expose or view ALL supportable resolutions irrespective of the monitor.
What I'm trying to do is determine whether to use the HDMI output to an LCD TV type monitor, or use the external VGA out to a "pc monitor", something that will display Blu-Ray on a 22" or larger screen. The resolution needed is well beyond the top-end of what the builtin display handles.
I checked the specs and the chipset employed, Intel G45 Express is definitely capable of any/all I could ask of it.
Someone tell me pls how to find the tweakers
thanks in advance

Leave the laptop display at its native (1366x768), connect whatever external display you want (TV or monitor) and set it to its native resolution. Unless you are trying to run in clone mode (only works when both displays are at the same resolution), you want it in extended mode and then both can be different.
That and running the laptop display out of its native resolution, and at 1366x786 most likely means the TV ot monitor will be higher can result in a couple of things happening,
1. Get the ever popular "mode not supported", resulting in having to boot to safe mode to restore the proper resolution.
2. Will run at the higher resolution but everything will be too small to read.
You also run the risk of damaging the display by running it a resolution higher than the default.

Stormy is correct.
Also, current laptops, even laptops made 5 years ago, have the 'Fn' + some F key that will allow you to switch monitor modes, like Laptop, Monitor, Laptop and Monitor modes.
In your case, however, do NOT use this. You should be able to go into the Displays and it should show up as 2 monitors. Select Monitor '2', and there should be a check box for 'Extend desktop to this screen'. What this will do is turn off Monitor Cloning via the Windows setup.
Now, if you are using DVI or HDMI, it should tell the video card what resolutions it should be able to support, which then you can up it on your card for that output. You should be able to go to the theoretical maximum supported by either the card or monitor. Which ever reaches its highest resolution first will be the highest it will go.

ok, that makes some sense. I'll likely use the HDMI [there's no DVI port]. And its not a matter of extending the desktop, just using a big screen for a guy who has a retina disease that is slowly taking his sight.
If I could ask a related question: this struck me as something XP does "better" than Windows 7: I wanted to try to adjust Font size for the same reason [above]. So, easy enough, change the size... but I did not realize at that time that Windows 7 changes basically everything when you deal with that 'Custom Size' setting. It uses the old ruler approach like XP, but all the dialog boxes grow and the change is not linear - that is [and I messed with it a lot] for example: at 160% of "normal" a dialog box is, shall we say, size 'B'.... run it up to 164% if I recall right, and the dialog boxes are still "B" though the font size moved a little. Suddenly when you hit something like 167%, the dialog box size leaps to something like 40% increase in footprint, making it too big to function [can't get to the 'Apply' etc buttons]. Also, Internet Explorer 8 responds in a similar overkill fashion becoming really huge, so you must use its zoom function to downsize it, adding another layer of complexity.
What I need to do for the time-being, were it possible, is simply adjust all the default font sizes up to about 175% which seems to be where this guy is comfortable....
When we get a big monitor in there it will help a lot of these issues [i'm thinking 1900 x 1600]
thanks much for the help

Unfortunately I found the magnifier [or I should say we BOTH found] to be clumsy to use, if not downright annoying. There are probably things I don't know about it, in terms of customizing, but it sure wins no prize for intuitive ease-of-use.
The best intermediate solution would be to separate Fonts from Objects and have the font size boostup a bit. Its not Terrible right now sitting at about 160% it is a compromise. Only IE8 looks wacky but it does not get much duty call. [I admit to being a Chrome pusher.....]

I'm queuing this post at 10:30pm and can barely keep my eyes open. Sleep is my favorite treat. Unfortunately it shouldn't be considered a "treat," but rather a necessity.
via The Atlantic:
… Read the rest
I'm sure a lot of subway riders are skilled nappers, but this car seemed to be particularly talented. Going over the Brooklyn Bridge on a recent morning, just as the sun was coming up, a row of men in nearly identical black suits held on to the straps with their eyes closed. Their necks were bent at the slightest of angles, like a row of daisies in a breeze, and as the car clanged over the tracks and the sun pierced through the grimy train windows, it finally dawned on me they were all sound asleep. Not even the bumps and the light could stop them from sneaking in 15 more minutes of shut-eye before work.

Reflections on being Santa Fe's Poet Laureate
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
Writers Festival at the Institute of American Indian Arts, July 19-25
We'll be yawping over at the Institute of American Indian Arts this coming week. Scroll down or go to www.iaia.edu for the full schedule. Here's a glimpse of four of the writers who will be reading, but it's just a glimpse of a much larger scene: http://www.sfreporter.com/santafe/article-8932-dramatic-setting.html
99 Poems for the 99 Percent Reading on July 26
Anthology editor Dean Rader, Dana Levin, and I will read from 99 Poems for the 99 Percent at 4 pm on Saturday, July 26, in the O'Shaughnessy Performance Space at the Santa Fe University of Art & Design (follow the signs to Benildus Hall). The reading is free, of course!
American poetry has a rich tradition of taking on important political and social events. The 99 poems in this diverse and dynamic new collection demonstrate how engagement with what Wallace Stevens called "the actual world" does not diminish poetry's punch—rather it makes it hit harder. Born out of a popular blog begun by Dean Rader at the height of the recession and at the infancy of the Occupy movements, 99 Poems for the 99 Percent shows that the aims of poetry and the aims of democracy are hand-in-hand. These are poems of anger, love, protest, humor, contemplation, hope, frustration, and beauty. These are poems by the famous and the marginal, by the heard and the ignored. These are poems that speak to the past as well as the future. These are poems of and for the real America.
The anthology features poems by well-known writers like Edward Hirsch, Bob Hicok, Robert Pinsky, Dana Levin, LeAnne Howe, Timothy Donnelly, Camille T. Dungy, Jon Davis, Brian Clements, Ellen Bass, Joan Houlihan, Ray Gonzalez, and Heid Erdrich as well as a generous sampling of work by beginning poets and students.

She has worked as a freelance reporter, a political asylum specialist, a high-school teacher in West Africa, and an election and human rights observer in Haiti and Suriname.
Hakim Bellamy is the author of Swear (West End Press, 2013). He became the inaugural poet laureate of Albuquerque in 2012. He has been on two national champion poetry slam teams, won collegiate and city poetry slam championships (in Albuquerque and Silver City, NM), and has been published in numerous anthologies and on inner-city buses. A musician, actor, journalist, playwright and community organizer, Bellamy has also received an honorable mention for the Paul Bartlett Ré Peace Prize at the University of New Mexico.

Flux Pavilion Double Edge Lyrics
Last updated: 08/16/2013 09:01:08 AM
In the time before law,
Only two powers governed the land: Good and evil.
Oozing eyes, super suave
But I see my matte black sup'd up supercar.
Ever see that I'm ruthless, and this one's a smash hit blowing straight through the glass.
They ain't touching me 'cause I ain't never running,
Sickened to my name and category, I ain't number one'ing.
Worst-case scenario is it won't be a target,
The message still a happy ending--I'm coming;
Come in and stop spying through a key-hole,
Wanna see me win this fight against evil.
The cowards are only preying on the weak.
I'll have them on their knees in the long-hall cathedral.
Yeah, my head and mind drugged,
They're blowing it all the time, but never when I flop.
Sweaty fever, but it's like hay fever-- (?)
Eyes are wide open whenever I drop.
I'm a savior here to save you.
I'm a problem to frustrate you.
I'm a knight here to contain you.
I'm the policy' enslave you!
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Introdu--
Oh shut up, I'll introduce myself!
I'm flowing like a pitbull.
I'm gonna knock your daft punchlines with a fistfull. (?)
I'm the show where the kids wanna watch.
I've got the power to make them stay up late and miss school.
Girls are like, "Aah, he's cool!"
Confusing? Nothing about me simple.
I'm a bad mother-- shut your mouth!
I kiss the girls and give all the pretty ones wrinkles. (?)
I'm so great, flying around with no cape--I'm so baked!
I graffiti'ing my name on skyscrapers.
Heroes told me to stop. I'm like, "Shut up! Don't hate!"
I use my power for entertainment. Some of mine, the way I gave a show, an orgasm, a homebase. (?)
"Why you gotta take my girl? Get your own date?
Why you here in my galaxy? Get your own space!"
Thanks to email@example.com for submitting Double Edge Lyrics.

As of 3:30 pm Tuesday, health officials at the University of Virginia have seen 26 cases of the swine flu so far during the fall semester. Eleven of those cases have been reported in the past four days. Two of those cases happened on Tuesday.
At least one of the students infected is a first year.
Students and professors are taking precautions to make sure they're not the next to catch the bug.
August 28, 2009
As of 4:00 p.m. Friday, health officials at the University of Virginia have seen ten cases of the swine flu so far during the fall semester. Four of those were presented Thursday alone. At least one of the students infected is a first year.
Students and professors are taking precautions to make sure they're not the next to catch the bug.
Thursday August 27, 2009
Numbers were even higher during the summer. According to UVa Student Health, 64 students were infected with H1N1 at the end of last year and during summer school, from May 4 through August 22.
"Judging from what's going on nationwide, I'm sure we're going to have a pretty significant outbreak," says James C. Turner, M.D., the Executive Director of UVa's Department of Student Health.
Turner says to keep things from getting worse, university leaders are working to get sick students into quarantine.
"We're asking them to self-isolate in their dorm room if they can't go home. If they can go home, we'd like them to go home," says Turner.
Students say they're not going to wait around and take chances with the flu and neither are their professors.
"This year, one of my professors addressed the issue in class, telling students just, you know, don't come. If you feel sick, do us all a favor," says fourth year Charles Dyer.
Fellow fourth year Jenny Smith adds, "I've been more conscious. You know, you wash your hands, you cough into your sleeve and I think it's the simple things that are going to help us in the long run."
While students engage in some of the social traditions of college, they say they're doing it with the flu in mind.
"I think the thing that I always think about is beer pong," says Dyer. "People are reusing the same cups. That probably sounds like the worst thing to do in a pandemic."
Health officials say, while they're ready to take every necessary precaution to keep students healthy, they're not worried about the severity of an outbreak at UVa.
"They're going to get through this just fine," says Turner. "It's not a serious disease, it's a minor disease. They're going to feel miserable for a couple of days and then hopefully recover uneventfully."
Turner adds he's expecting a big shipment of swine flu vaccine in mid-October. At that point, he says they'll try and vaccinate as many students as possible.
A presidential panel earlier this week predicted that as many as 90,000 Americans could die as a result of the swine flu this fall.

Another R$30bn ($13.5bn) in long-term loans will be given this year by Brazil's National Treasury to the BNDES, the government-owned National Bank for Economic and Social Development. These transfers are made at a highly subsidised interest rate, called the TJLP, currently 5 per cent a year, while the central bank's base rate, the Selic, is currently at 11 per cent. The Treasury's transfers to government-owned banks, initiated in 2008, currently amount to almost 10 per cent of GDP, of which R$414bn has gone to the BNDES. These resources are lent by the BNDES to corporations, also at subsidised rates.
Nonetheless, Brazil's investment to GDP ratio remains anaemic. Read more

We're Having a Blonde Moment — How to Care for Light Hair
After spotting pictures of Candice Swanepoel at the Victoria's Secret Angel launch of Body by Victoria in New York yesterday, I couldn't help but notice how bright and glossy her hair looked. Although naturally fair, it's safe to say Candice foils her hair to keep it looking so blonde, but maintaining those highlights is a whole other ballgame! Now I'm no Victoria's Secret Angel (that actually makes me laugh out loud), but I do get my hair foiled every six to eight weeks so I'd like to see myself as a bit of an expert in maintaining a bright, glossy colour.

WOONSOCKET — After receiving a quarter of its state aid nine months earlier than it normally would have, the Woonsocket Education Department will pay off more than $11 million in overdue vendor bills by the end of the week.
The state-appointed Budget Commission approved the first payout of $2.5 million to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Rhode Island last week, and on Monday authorized another payment of more than $2.3 million to 11 more vendors. The recipients got first dibs on the cash because they were owed at least $100,000 longer than 90 days, said Schools Supt. Giovanna Donoyan.
WOONSOCKET — Police discovered an intoxicated motorist in the midst a violent argument with his girlfriend after a routine traffic stop on Diamond Hill Road early Saturday.
Antonio Pedro Fontes, 30, of 839 Social St., is facing eight infractions, including drunken driving, domestic assault, domestic kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance, the prescription painkiller oxycodone.

INDIANAPOLIS – The State Budget Committee on Wednesday approved three projects on the IPFW campus involving a total $27 million investment.
The largest project is renovating Helmke Library and Kettler Hall. The two buildings are nearly 50 years old and require significant infrastructure repairs.
The plan is to update the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems of both buildings, said Kevin Green of Purdue University.
Helmke Library will also be modified to incorporate more technology and student stations. Kettler Hall's space use won't change significantly, the meeting agenda said.
The project will cost $21.3 million. The General Assembly included a cash appropriation to cover the cost in the new state budget.
The committee also approved a $5 million qualified energy savings project. It involves upgrading and replacing building environmental control systems and lighting in 17 buildings on campus.
The renovations include updating and installing new controls for heating and air systems; lighting replacements and boiler upgrades.
Green said savings will be achieved by controlling heating and lighting when offices and classrooms aren't being used.
He said expected savings are $500,000 annually, and the payback period is less than 10 years.
Green said the campus' utilities budget will be reduced by that much and placed in a separate fund to pay debt service on the bond paying for the project.
Lastly, there will be a $1 million renovation to office space on the second floor of the Helmke Library to house the Honors Program.
Green said the campus feels strongly about the program and wants to enhance it.
The project includes updated office space, a reception advising center, a specialized classroom, computer lab and multiple seminar and conference rooms to accommodate staff and students in the honors program.
It will be paid for half through gift funds and half from IPFW General Fund reserves.
