This watch is a classic! and Canadian.
By Art
from victoria
I have Korite's first Ammolite watch, and now this watch, which has a larger amount of Ammolite in the face, so is even more awesome than my old one. I wear this whenever going out socially, but not when working or fishing, therefore, I'm assured the watch will remain flawless in appearance. These are Canadian, so I wear them a lot (as well as my Ammolite ring and Canada Day pin.) A proud Canadian, eh.
Nice Watche

I was happy with this watch even though there were conflicting reviews on the size. The picture online is accurate as my watch had several different colours including blue.
Lovely watch
By Janet
from Kelowna
The size of the watch is perfect for my hand. I love large watches with large numbers especially for these aging eyes. Yep, I am 80 yrs. young and into fashion jewelry & clothing big time. I do find the strap is rather stiff but presume after wearing it for awhile it will wear in & soften. Leather usually does. The ammolite insert reminds me of my watch from Australia that has the face of it encrusted with different color genuine opals. I can give the opal one a rest and wear this ammolite. I have never paid this much for a watch but do not regret my purchase. Thank you Korite & Shopping Channel. Also, believe it or not, I like the odd type of numbering on the watch - that is what adds to the uniqueness of the watch. It will also look nice paired up with a gold bracelet I have in mind.I am a happy foxy 80 yr. woman!!

Crystal problem
By Nana
from Vancouver BC
I love my watch! The ammolite inlay is, of course,the most beautiful aspect of it. Unfortunately wearing it every day has resulted in the 3cm.x3cm. crystal getting scratched in about 20 lines from corner to corner. I have talked to Shopping Channel customer service and was given a number to talk to Korite but they can't help me. They suggested I phone a watch repair shop. The very experienced watch man that I talked to said that we could try to find a replacement part but it would likely scratch again. He's right. The watch crystal for this particular watch is set "above" the rest of the watch so there is nothing to protect it from scratching. The glass is always the first part to touch any surface that you are working around. I had hoped that this watch would be the most beautiful that I had ever owned but the scratches detract from the view of the ammolite. It's a shame.
By Cat
from Sault, Ontario
I bought this watch as a showstopper. AMAZING!I buy ALL Ammolite showstoppers. What an amazing price. I put it away, as I don't wear a watch.My Grandkids will love it in the 'future'.It's a collectors item people !!

nice inlay...poor design
By Marnie
from New Brunswick
I returned this watch with great hesitation. The inlay of ammolite was beautiful with lots of blue and violet colours. The watch itself seemed out of balance somehow. I found the square shape too large and the watch band seemed too narrow in comparison. Not a winner design wise, in my oppinion, but the inlay was outstanding.
By Carly
from Calgary AB
Ken with Korite said the watches were their finest quaily of the line and he tucked some away for future gifts. I ordered one for my nephew's upcoming wedding. Well, those mosaic ammolite was too much red. The watch does not worth that much.
Super watch!
By Brit
from Vancouver
Love it!!!
Love this watch!
By Pincher Creek born.
from Victoria, BC
I can see where it might not be for everyone, but I love it. The comment about the Roman numeral 4 was interesting as I have another watch as well as a clock with the same design. Ammolite is as unique as the area it is mined. I love the colours and have no problem seeing the blue. Korite stand behind their products. I know this from experience. I really cannot say enough about the watch. I feel privileged to own one.
A lover of ammolite
By GEMGRAMMA
from MILLARVILLE, AB
This watch has ammolite on it which is a plus. But I can't find the blue that was supposed to be in every watch. I also find it very large for my wrist, however it is comfortable for me to wear. I am keeping the watch to add to my ammolite collection, but it hasn't charmed me the way all the rest of my ammolite has done at first sight.

Oral History Program Julia Maes Pannell Interviewed by Marci Farr 8 September 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Julia Maes Pannell Interviewed by Marci Farr 8 September 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Julia discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Julia Maes Pannell. She graduated from St. Benedict's School of Nursing in 1967. It is September 8, 2010. We are interviewing Julie at the Inova Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. So tell us just a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, where you attended school. JP: I grew up in Green River, Wyoming all eighteen years of my life until I left to go to St. Ben's. I have two sisters. My father worked for the railroad. My mom was a stay at home mom. I was very active in normal high school activities. There were about fifty students in my graduation class from high school. Most of us knew each other from Kindergarten to high school. It was a small town with three thousand people at the time. I don't know how many there are now. I haven't been back since my fortieth high school reunion. It might be smaller, it might be bigger. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? JP: I guess because my mother was sick a lot and in the hospital. In those days they didn't allow children to visit. As I grew older and could visit her I recognized that nurses were helpers. I wanted to do that. Also, in high school our school got some kind of grant for advanced biology and we were allowed to do rat surgery. 2 That was very intriguing to me too. I was also interested in science. I participated in a science fairs, my project went to state once. MF: So you took the classes that would help you along in nurses training. JP: Yes, I love science. I always found it interesteding. MF: So why did you decide St. Benedict's? JP: It was the closest nursing school to home. MF: Was this your first time away from home when you entered nurses training? JP: Except for a couple of school trips, yes. MF: What were your first impressions when you first got there? JP: I guess we were so busy that I didn't really have time to be homesick. I remember there was always something that had to be done or something we had to study or something we had to do. My father worked for the railroad so I had a free pass home so I went home frequently too. MF: That is good you were able to travel home. That probably helped. Who was your roommate while you were in training? JP: Pam Hunt. MF: Have you kept in contact with her? JP: No she was living somewhere in Utah. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding; we communicated for awhile but I haven't seen her since then. MF: Were you roommates all three years? JP: No, the last two years. MF: Did you get along with her? JP: Oh yes we got along fine. We had no conflicts. 3 MF: Was there any funny stories or anything that you can remember with you two together as roommates? JP: Well Pam was very organized and I was kind of a slob in terms of keeping our room neat, she never complained. We got demerits because of me sometimes. Poor Pam she had to put up with me. MF: What about curfew? Did you guys ever try to break curfew? What were the rules? JP: We had to be in at nine o'clock during the week. I think we were allowed ten o'clock curfews junior & senior year. I can't remember what the rules were. I know it was nine o'clock the first year and midnight on weekends unless you signed out with somebody and got permission to go to somebody's house. We used to sign out to our friend Shelia's a lot. MF: Then you just had to make sure you got back in. JP: We could return the next day. MF: What do you remember about the Sisters, about the nuns? JP: Sister Cassian was the director of the school. She wanted us all to be like Jackie Kennedy. That was her heroine I often wonder what she thought of her later years. She made sure we knew how to pour tea and knew how to act like ladies. MF: Did you have interactions with them as far as outside the school, like activities? JP: We had a lot of activities in our back campus. We had free volleyball games and barbeques. Sister Cassian send us to symphonies. MF: What were some of your favorite classes that you took while you were in training? 4 JP: Microbiology was probably one of my favorites. I also enjoyed my nursing classes. MF: Do you remember anything about your instructors? JP: Yes. I been trying to remember their names. I am terrible with names. It usually takes me a few days to remember names. Mrs. Mortimer was my first year instructor. I remember her. She was a retired army nurse. Mrs. Etcheverry taught OB and then there were two younger ones our senior year, they were some of our favorites and I can't remember their names. That is pretty sad. I even have pictures of them but I can't remember their names. MF: Was Helen Farr there at that time with you? JP: No. MF: I think she might have been at Weber at that time. Do you remember any of the doctors that you worked with? Were there any that stood out in your mind? JP: Doctor Swindler, he used to come and give us lectures about the proper shoes to wear. I injured the meniscus in my knee when I was there and he put me in the hospital. I was in traction for a week when the injury occurred. It was right before Christmas break. I missed out on all the Christmas activities at the school. MF: Not fun at all. Yes, we have heard about him. JP: He had a stern appearance but he had a heart of gold. He was good to me. MF: That I what everybody has said. What would you and your classmates do if you had a night off or had some time? JP: We went to Chris's. Have you heard of Chris's before? 5 MF: We've heard some stories. JP: Chris's was a hangout for the Air Force and college (Weber State)—we also went out to Hill Air Force Base. The officers often invited us to—what was the word that Sister Cassian hated?—go-go dances. She hated those words. It was for dances. Chris's was the consistent hangout. We also went dancing there. We went there strictly for dances. MF: Tell us about your rotations you went on while in training. JP: I took psych at St. Benedict's. Some of the students went to Denver for pediatrics but I didn't. They changed the location of the rotation before I was able to do that. OB was taught at St. Ben's. MF: How was that, the psychiatric training? JP: Our instructor was from the University of Utah. She was in the process of getting divorced. She wasn't very happy with us students. I remember that much. We used to go to the University of Utah for our theory and we would come do our clinical in the unit at St. Benedict's. MF: Did you get credit from the University of Utah? JP: We did get some credit. When I went back to share and—I had lived so many places and gone to some many schools I had to get all my credits together in order to get my degree. MF: Which one do you think was your favorite as far as the floors? JP: Orthopedics. I loved orthopedics! I enjoyed putting traction on and taking it off for some weird reason. It was my favorite. MF: Which one was probably your least favorite do you think? 6 JP: I don't know. I liked pediatrics too. Probably OB. MF: Did you have any experiences while you were on your rotations—on the different floors—that you can remember about a patient? JP: I remember the first patient that died and how frightened I was. He was somebody that was going to die, not somebody we had to resuscitate. It was a new experience to me. I had never seen death before. I can still see him clearly. MF: What do you remember about your capping ceremony? Do you remember where? JP: Oh yes I have pictures of capping ceremony. I was trying to figure out how far into the year it was. I think it was six months. I remember we got our hair done for our capping ceremony and getting our capes and our hats. We were so proud that we were no longer probees. MF: Yes now you are official. Do you remember how many started out in your class? JP: I am trying to think! It was to twenty but we only graduated ten. MF: So about half. So at this time could you be married during training? JP: No. I remember that there was a gal a year ahead of us who entered the program married. She thought she couldn't have any children. Well in her third year she became pregnant and they wouldn't let her graduate with her class because she was pregnant. MF: Wow. That is crazy. To go through all that time and not be able to finish. JP: She did finish. She got her diploma but she couldn't walk with the graduating class. MF: That is crazy. 7 JP: Yes it was. You could get married the last three months only. MF: You could be engaged and that was not a problem. JP: No. Sister Cassian kept telling us that our lives would end in tragedy if you spend too much time with men. That was her way of saying you might get pregnant I guess. I don't know. I always remember, "Your life will end in tragedy." MF: That is a good thing to know. What do you think was probably your greatest challenge when you were in nurses training? JP: The OR I guess—when I worked in the operating room. In those days there was no such thing as abuse in terms of physicians. Some of them were really difficult to work with. MF: You have to give them that respect like they were gods or something. JP: Yes. They were on pedestals in those days. I remember even on the units when they walked in you had to stand up. MF: That is good to know. Where was graduation held? JP: It was held at a cathedral in Ogden but I don't remember the name of the cathedral. MF: So what were your impressions of finally getting through nurse's training? JP: It was wonderful. I couldn't believe I actually finished. Then of course we had to take our boards. In those days boards were two days. Now they are not. They are just one big test. MF: Was that down in Salt Lake? 8 JP: Yes. Everybody went to Salt Lake. All the schools in the state went to Salt Lake. Boards were given 2 times per year. MF: So after graduation did you stay at St. Benedict's? What did you do with your career? JP: I worked with a migrant program initially and then moved to Texas. I worked in ICU for eighteen years in Texas, Washington state, California, and here. From there I went into a home health and I worked as a staff nurse. Then I became director of nursing for one agency and moved on to another agency. In my job before this I was community liaison for Medstar. I helped with mergers in Maryland & D.C. Then I took this teaching job seven years ago. MF: This is where you teach nursing. JP: Yes. MF: Is it for the colleges that are around here or does the hospital have its own program? JP: No its not a hospital program. It is actually connected with the vocational program out of TC Williams High School. MF: So it is probably like DATC that they have in Ogden. They have the different schools that come and they can do it during high school. JP: Ours is a two year program. They have to do the second year as high school graduates when they pass their boards they get licensed as licensed practical nurses. Then they are transition eligible to George Mason University and Nova (Northern) Virginia Community College. 9 MF: That is a great thing. I appreciate you letting us visit with you. Is there anything else you have thought of while we have talked? JP: I remember the student nursing organization, National Student Nurses. I was very active in that. We went to San Francisco for a convention. I was looking at my scrapbook the other day. That was fun and educational time. It introduced us to other schools and what they were learning. MF: How do you think your training at St. Benedict's has served you? You were trained on every level, don't you think? JP: Yes I think that we were exposed to aspect of nursing. That made my transition to critical care very easy. I had a very good foundation. MF: Because you worked on every floor. How long did you work on every floor? JP: I think the rotations were three months. MF: Did you have many hours that you had to get in? JP: Yes. I don't remember how many. I do remember the first ICU that was put into St. Benedict's our senior year. We had to work a couple night shifts in the new ICU. I could probably write a book on the evolution of ICU. MF: From primitive until now. JP: It has changed. I also worked in three states so I am pretty familiar with the area. MF: You probably wouldn't have traded that for anything. JP: No. It is a young nurse's job. You have to be able to move fast and be able to make fast, thorough assessments quickly and make appropriate decisions . MF: Well I appreciate you letting us visit with you.

So after the recent scandalous & "transgression" revelation, my wife and I had a discussion about the prevalence of infidelity with sports athletes or rather celebrites in general. She said that almost ALL of the above have extramarital affairs because it comes with the territory.
What do you guys/gals think, and if yes, why?

The new Greedy Associates boards are still coming. Perhaps inevitably, we've been rethinking and tweaking a few things, but we are still committed to giving Greedy Associates a new home on a new and much-improved platform -- the same state of the art social media platform that is used by online communities at Business Week, Sports Illustrated, Virgin Media, New York Times Digital and all of the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX), amongst others.
In case you're wondering (and some of you have been), all of the years' worth of accumulated content on the current GA site will be preserved. The current boards are unfortunately so outdated, technology-wise, that we are not planning to try to port the content over to the new Greedy site; however, the existing posts will be maintained as a searchable, read-only archive.
So watch this space for further updates. With your help, we look forward to seeing Greedy Associates, together with the new Answers Pro and Answers for Students forums, grow once again into an active, vibrant legal discussion community.
As always, if you have any questions about the new boards, you can contact us here.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Canada to maintain Mediterranean naval presence through 2012: MacKay
Postmedia News Nov 20, 2011 a** 2:30 PM ET | Last Updated: Nov 20, 2011
By Lee Berthiaume
HALIFAX a** The Conservative government will post a naval frigate in the
Mediterranean through the end of next year to ensure a Canadian presence
in the region, Defence Minister Peter MacKay said Sunday.
a**Having a frigate in the Mediterranean, in my view, is a signal to our
allies that Canada continues its leadership role on the world stage,a**
MacKay told reporters at the end of a major three-day defence conference.
HMCS Vancouver, which was recently involved in NATOa**s air-and-sea
campaign against Muammar Gaddafia**s forces in Libya, will be reassigned
to NATOa**s Operation Active Endeavour until early 2012, the minister
said. It will then be relived by the HMCS Charlottetown, which will remain
in the region until the end of the year.
Operation Active Endeavour is a decade-long counter-terrorism mission in
the Mediterranean that was established after 9/11.
While MacKay said the frigatesa** primary responsibility will be to locate
and board vessels suspected of being linked to terrorism, he said they
will be available in the event the situation in Syria spirals further out
of control.
a**Therea**s no question having a ship in the region in the event that
Canadians need direct assistance or evacuation (from Syria) gives us that
utility, gives us that capability to respond should certain things
transpire,a** he said.
Syria was a major issue of discussion among the 300 high-level delegates
from 39 countries who gathered in Halifax over the weekend to talk about
world defence and security issues.
But while there was general agreement about the unacceptability of Syrian
President Bashar Assada**s crackdown on demonstrators, which has left an
estimated 3,500 dead, there appeared to be few concrete ideas on what to
do to stop the ongoing violence.
Key officials here over the weekend appeared unclear on the best way to
proceed. Most agreed that the Arab Leaguea**s decision to suspend Syria
and press for the deployment of monitors to ensure Assada**s forces
stopped their crackdown was a positive development.
They also criticized China and Russia for blocking the adoption of strong
measures at the UN Security Council.
Yet there was a clear reluctance to contemplate a Libya-type international
a**Of course the secretary general and all the NATO members are very
concerned about what is happening in Syria,a** NATO Deputy Assistant
Secretary General James Appathurai, a Canadian, told reporters Sunday
morning. But he added: a**There is no discussion about a NATO role . . . .
There is no role envisioned for NATO.a**
Lt.-Gen. Charles Bouchard, the Canadian who oversaw NATOa**s mission in
Libya, warned Saturday against trying to use Libya as a template for
military intervention in Syria.
a**One is not like the other,a** he said. a**They may look alike, but
theya**re totally different constructs that need to be looked at
a**Libya should not be a blueprint for the future.a**
U.S. Senator John McCain noted Saturday that opponents of Assada**s regime
now include breakaway elements of the Syrian military, and he predicted
the violence will only increase as a result.
a**Ita**s very clear Bashar Assad is not going to heed our, and the United
Nations as well as the Arab Leaguea**s, requirements to stop the slaughter
of his own people,a** he said.
When asked what the international community can do, McCain said it should
recognize the opposition Syrian National Council, but then pointed to
ongoing meetings and dialogue between the Obama administration and
officials in Turkey and other countries in the region.
Throughout the weekend, participants here continually pointed to the Arab
League and Syriaa**s neighbours as being vital for finding a resolution.
MacKay described an a**escalating scale before making any final decisions
around intervention.a** He noted, for example, that there are still
additional sanctions that could be put in place.
a**With the amount of brain power we had in this building, I didna**t hear
anybody say a**Leta**s charge into Syria,a**a** he said. a**What I heard
was a**leta**s contemplate the next move very cautiously.a**a**
MacKay indicated that if Canada is going to be involved in Syria, it will
require action at the United Nations first.
a**Whata**s missing here is clear,a** he said. a**We dona**t have a United
Nations Security Council resolution. That, to me, is a necessity in this

OTTAWA - Defence Minister Peter MacKay has waded into two Middle East
hotspots with remarks he made at the Halifax International Security Forum.
There is growing concern about civilian deaths in Syria where the regime
of Bashar al-Assad has ignored pleas to halt a bloody crackdown on
Still, MacKay has warned that just because NATO got involved in Libya to
stop assaults on civilians, doesnA^1t mean Syria is next.
"We have to be careful not to transplant everything that occurred in
Libya... and superimpose it on Syria, Iran, North Korea," said MacKay.
While MacKay has never called for intervention in Syria, earlier in the
week he mused about "a possible (United Nations) Security Council
resolution to mirror the path that we followed with respect to Libya."
MacKay also used the occasion to talk about Iran.
"When do you get to the point where you have exhausted all options and you
have reached that moral tipping point that you have to act, that there
isgoing to be a crisis," asked the defence minister. "Iran is an
interesting example, that is also on the spectrum that is under
consideration ... ofwhen it is justified to intervene in a sovereign
The International Atomic Energy Agency chastised Iran on Friday as
suspicions increase the Islamic theocracy is trying to develop nuclear
weapons, but stopped short of calling for international punishment.
Israel has warned military action is possible if diplomatic efforts fail
to halt the Iranian threat.
Some fear an Iranian nuclear weapon would launch a new arms race.
"It would result in other countries trying to acquire nuclear weapons -
Saudi Arabia, possibly Sudan," Christian Leuprecht, a political science
professor atRoyal Military College, told Sun News Network.
On a positive note, Leuprecht added Iran's fear of destabilizing the
Middle East may yet temper its nuclear enthusiasm.

Minister MacKay announces continued Canadian naval presence in the
Mediterranean Sea
NR 11.141 - November 20, 2011
HALIFAX a** The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence,
today announced that Royal Canadian Navy ships will maintain a presence in
the Mediterranean Sea until the end of 2012 in order to join Operation
Active Endeavour, the NATO counter-terrorism effort in the region.
Her Majestya**s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Vancouver, originally deployed as
part of Operation Unified Protector, will remain in the Mediterranean
until early 2012, when she will be relieved by HMCS Charlottetown. HMCS
Vancouver and her CH-124 Sea King Helicopter detachment have been in the
Mediterranean Sea since August, when she joined the NATO fleet off Libya
as part of Operation Unified Protector.
"I commend the crew and leadership of HMCS Vancouver for their hard work
and contribution to Operation Unified Protector. Canada will now project
its leadership role in NATO by contributing to anti-terrorism,a** said
Minister MacKay. "Ia**m proud of what our forces have accomplished in the
area, and I have confidence our continued presence in the Mediterranean
will help detect and deter terrorist activities."
HMCS Vancouvera**s tasks while on Operation Active Endeavour include
locating, tracking, reporting and boarding vessels of interest suspected
of involvement in terrorism. Although their mandate is limited to
detection and deterrence of activities related to terrorism, the NATO
fleet deployed on Operation Active Endeavour has contributed to enhanced
security and stability in the Mediterranean Sea.
a**I'm proud of the service and accomplishments of the crew of HMCS
Vancouver during Operation Unified Protector. Their transition to another
NATO duty, and continued presence in the Mediterranean makes great
sense,a** said General Walt Natynczyk, the Chief of the Defence Staff.
a**Canadian security begins abroad. Our frigate will contribute to an
important ongoing international operation and will further support
Canadian interests overseas. We will continue to work alongside our NATO
allies to build upon our successes and to bring stability to the
HMCS Vancouver departed her home port of Esquimalt, B.C., on July 10,
2011, bound for the Mediterranean Sea to relieve HMCS Charlottetown. For
more than two months, HMCS Vancouver patrolled the in-shore waters off the
embattled Libyan ports of Misrata, Tripoli, Tobruk, and Sirte as part of
Combined Task Group 455.01. That tasking ended on October 31, 2011, with
the successful conclusion of Operation Unified Protector.
HMCS Charlottetown will sail from her home port of Halifax in January

Canada orders warships to stay in Mediterranean
November 21, 2011
Canada will maintain warships in the Mediterranean Sea until the end of
2012, Defense Minister Peter MacKay announced Sunday.
The HMCS Vancouver frigate was originally deployed as part of NATO's
mission in Libya. It will remain in the Mediterranean Sea until early
2012, when it will be relieved by the HMCS Charlottetown, MacKay said.
Officially, the ships will be tasked with "locating, tracking, reporting
[and] boarding vessels suspected of international terrorism" alongside
other NATO frigates.
But MacKay also said "there's no question having a ship in the region...
gives us the capability to respond should certain things transpire" in
Syria or other hotspots.
With Syria brushing off an Arab League deadline to end its lethal
crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, MacKay speculated that "further
action will be required," noting Canada was in talks with its allies
over the crisis.
The 134-meter HMCS Vancouver has a complement of 225 sailors and a Sea
King helicopter on deck.
From August to the end of the NATO mission in Libya last month, it
patrolled the waters off the embattled Libyan ports of Misrata, Tripoli,
Tobruk and Sirte with other allied warships.

The Willits City Council voted to approve previously introduced ordinances removing demolition recycling fee and changing city manager's authority from $10,000 to $45,000 for public works projects.
Finance Manager Joanne Cavallari advised the council the finance department was exploring changes to how it manages 60 sewer accounts not paid via semi-annual property tax bills. This limited number of accounts includes the Willits Unified School District, CalTrans, Mendocino County and about 20 parcels on the Sherwood Valley Rancheria. The finance department will be bringing back a proposed change to the municipal code shifting these 60 customers to a monthly sewer bill along with their water bills. No change is being recommended for the majority of sewer customers.
The city council approved the use of asset forfeiture funds to pre-pay $53,245 for five years of maintenance costs for its share of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office new computer system. Willits police use this new system for dispatch and records management.
The city council voted in closed session to reject the $10,000 in property damage claims filed by Harold Hall for flood damage.

These readers COULD have been fabulous. The style and color were perfect for me, but the rhinestones on the top left side of the frames were inferior quality, appeared ground down and had no sparkle. The rest of the stones were perfect and brilliant, which makes the inferior stones all the more obvious. Very disappointing...from DebSpecs: will replace, of course!
My readers are super cute. I am the first in my group of friends that needed readers, so I wanted to get something cute and stylish. These are it !! Thank You Debby !!!

Good reign of Hezekiah in Judah, Idolatry. (1-8) Sennacherib invades Judah. (9-16) Rabshakeh's blasphemies. (17-37)
Verses 1-8 Hezekiah was a true son of David. Some others did that which was right, but not like David. Let us not suppose that when times and men are bad, they must needs grow worse and worse; that does not follow: after many bad kings, God raised one up like David himself. The brazen serpent had been carefully preserved, as a memorial of God's goodness to their fathers in the wilderness; but it was idle and wicked to burn incense to it. All helps to devotion, not warranted by the word of God, interrupt the exercise of faith; they always lead to superstition and other dangerous evils. Human nature perverts every thing of this kind. True faith needs not such aids; the word of God, daily thought upon and prayed over, is all the outward help we need.
Verses 9-16 The descent Sennacherib made upon Judah, was a great calamity to that kingdom, by which God would try the faith of Hezekiah, and chastise the people. The secret dislike, the hypocrisy, and lukewarmness of numbers, require correction; such trials purify the faith and hope of the upright, and bring them to simple dependence on God.
Verses 17-37 Rabshakeh tries to convince the Jews, that it was to no purpose for them to stand it out. What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? It were well if sinners would submit to the force of this argument, in seeking peace with God. It is, therefore, our wisdom to yield to him, because it is in vain to contend with him: what confidence is that which those trust in who stand out against him? A great deal of art there is in this speech of Rabshakeh; but a great deal of pride, malice, falsehood, and blasphemy. Hezekiah's nobles held their peace. There is a time to keep silence, as well as a time to speak; and there are those to whom to offer any thing religious or rational, is to cast pearls before swine. Their silence made Rabshakeh yet more proud and secure. It is often best to leave such persons to rail and blaspheme; a decided expression of abhorrence is the best testimony against them. The matter must be left to the Lord, who has all hearts in his hands, committing ourselves unto him in humble submission, believing hope, and fervent prayer.
2 Kings 18:1-3 . HEZEKIAH'S GOOD REIGN.
1, 2. Hezekiah . . . began to reign. Twenty and five years old--According to this statement (compare 2 Kings 16:2 ), he must have been born when his father Ahaz was no more than eleven years old. Paternity at an age so early is not unprecedented in the warm climates of the south, where the human frame is matured sooner than in our northern regions. But the case admits of solution in a different way. It was customary for the later kings of Israel to assume their son and heir into partnership in the government during their lives; and as Hezekiah began to reign in the third year of Hoshea ( 2 Kings 18:1 ), and Hoshea in the twelfth year of Ahaz ( 2 Kings 17:1 ), it is evident that Hezekiah began to reign in the fourteenth year of Ahaz his father, and so reigned two or three years before his father's death. So that, at the beginning of his reign in conjunction with his father, he might be only twenty-two or twenty-three, and Ahaz a few years older than the common calculation makes him. Or the case may be solved thus: As the ancient writers, in the computation of time, take notice of the year they mention, whether finished or newly begun, so Ahaz might be near twenty-one years old at the beginning of his reign, and near seventeen years older at his death; while, on the other hand, Hezekiah, when he began to reign, might be just entering into his twenty-fifth year, and so Ahaz would be near fourteen years old when his son Hezekiah was born--no uncommon age for a young man to become a father in southern latitudes [PATRICK].
2 Kings 18:4-37 . HE DESTROYS IDOLATRY.
4. He removed the high places and brake the images, &c.--The methods adopted by this good king for extirpating idolatry, and accomplishing a thorough reformation in religion, are fully detailed ( 2 Chronicles 20:3 , 31:19 ). But they are indicated very briefly, and in a sort of passing allusion.
brake in pieces the brazen serpent--The preservation of this remarkable relic of antiquity ( Numbers 21:5-10 ) might, like the pot of manna and Aaron's rod, have remained an interesting and instructive monument of the divine goodness and mercy to the Israelites in the wilderness: and it must have required the exercise of no small courage and resolution to destroy it. But in the progress of degeneracy it had become an object of idolatrous worship and as the interests of true religion rendered its demolition necessary, Hezekiah, by taking this bold step, consulted both the glory of God and the good of his country.
unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it--It is not to be supposed that this superstitious reverence had been paid to it ever since the time of Moses, for such idolatry would not have been tolerated either by David or by Solomon in the early part of his reign, by Asa or Jehoshaphat had they been aware of such a folly. But the probability is, that the introduction of this superstition does not date earlier than the time when the family of Ahab, by their alliance with the throne of Judah, exercised a pernicious influence in paving the way for all kinds of idolatry. It is possible, however, as some think, that its origin may have arisen out of a misapprehension of Moses' language ( Numbers 21:8 ). Serpent-worship, how revolting soever it may appear, was an extensively diffused form of idolatry; and it would obtain an easier reception in Israel because many of the neighboring nations, such as the Egyptians and Phoenicians, adored idol gods in the form of serpents as the emblems of health and immortality.
5, 6. He trusted in the Lord God of Israel--without invoking the aid or purchasing the succor of foreign auxiliaries like Asa ( 1 Kings 15:18 1 Kings 15:19 ) and Ahaz ( 2 Kings 16:17 , Isaiah 7:1-25 ).
so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah--Of course David and Solomon are excepted, they having had the sovereignty of the whole country. In the petty kingdom of Judah, Josiah alone had a similar testimony borne to him ( 2 Kings 23:25 ). But even he was surpassed by Hezekiah, who set about a national reformation at the beginning of his reign, which Josiah did not. The pious character and the excellent course of Hezekiah was prompted, among other secondary influences, by a sense of the calamities his father's wicked career had brought on the country, as well as by the counsels of Isaiah.
7, 8. he rebelled against the king of Assyria--that is, the yearly tribute his father had stipulated to pay, he, with imprudent haste, withdrew. Pursuing the policy of a truly theocratic sovereign, he was, through the divine blessing which rested on his government, raised to a position of great public and national strength. Shalmaneser had withdrawn from Palestine, being engaged perhaps in a war with Tyre, or probably he was dead. Assuming, consequently, that full independent sovereignty which God had settled on the house of David, he both shook off the Assyrian yoke, and, by an energetic movement against the Philistines, recovered from that people the territory which they had taken from his father Ahaz ( 2 Chronicles 28:18 ).
13. Sennacherib--the son and successor of Shalmaneser.
all the fenced cities of Judah--not absolutely all of them; for, besides the capital, some strong fortresses held out against the invader ( 2 Kings 18:17 , 2 Kings 19:8 ). The following account of Sennacherib's invasion of Judah and the remarkable destruction of his army, is repeated almost verbatim in 2 Chronicles 32:1-33 and Isaiah 36:1-37:38'. The expedition seems to have been directed against Egypt, the conquest of which was long a leading object of ambition with the Assyrian monarchs. But the invasion of Judah necessarily preceded, that country being the key to Egypt, the highway through which the conquerors from Upper Asia had to pass. Judah had also at this time formed a league of mutual defense with Egypt ( 2 Kings 18:24 ). Moreover, it was now laid completely open by the transplantation of Israel to Assyria. Overrunning Palestine, Sennacherib laid siege to the fortress of Lachish, which lay seven Roman miles from Eleutheropolis, and therefore southwest of Jerusalem on the way to Egypt [ROBINSON]. Among the interesting illustrations of sacred history furnished by the recent Assyrian excavations, is a series of bas-reliefs, representing the siege of a town, which the inscription on the sculpture shows to be Lachish, and the figure of a king, whose name is given, on the same inscription, as Sennacherib. The legend, sculptured over the head of the king, runs thus: "Sennacherib, the mighty king, king of the country of Assyria, sitting on the throne of judgment before the city of Lachish [Lakhisha], I give permission for its slaughter" [Nineveh and Babylon]. This minute confirmation of the truth of the Bible narrative is given not only by the name Lachish, which is contained in the inscription, but from the physiognomy of the captives brought before the king, which is unmistakably Jewish.
14-16. Hezekiah . . . sent to Lachish, saying, . . . that which thou puttest on me will I bear--Disappointed in his expectations of aid from Egypt, and feeling himself unable to resist so mighty a conqueror who was menacing Jerusalem itself, Hezekiah made his submission. The payment of three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold--about $1,500,000--brought a temporary respite; but, in raising the imposed tribute, he was obliged not only to drain all the treasures of the palace and the temple, but even to strip the doors and pillars of the sacred edifice of the gold that adorned them.
2 Kings 18:17 . SENNACHERIB BESIEGES JERUSALEM.
17. king of Assyria sent Tartan--general ( Isaiah 20:1 ).
Rab-saris--chief of the eunuchs.
Rab-shakeh--chief cupbearer. These were the great officers employed in delivering Sennacherib's insulting message to Hezekiah. On the walls of the palace of Sennacherib, at Khorsabad, certain figures have been identified with the officers of that sovereign mentioned in Scripture. In particular, the figures, Rab-shakeh, Rab-saris, and Tartan, appear as full-length portraits of the persons holding those offices in the reign of Sennacherib. Probably they represent the very individuals sent on this embassy.
with a great host to Jerusalem--Engaged in a campaign of three years in Egypt, Sennacherib was forced by the king of Ethiopia to retreat, and discharging his rage against Jerusalem, he sent an immense army to summon it to surrender.
the conduit of the upper pool--the conduit which went from the reservoir of the Upper Gihon (Birket et Mamilla) to the lower pool, the Birket es Sultan.
the highway of the fuller's field--the public road which passed by that district, which had been assigned them for carrying on their business without the city, on account of the unpleasant smell [KEIL].
18. when they had called to the king--Hezekiah did not make a personal appearance, but commissioned his three principal ministers to meet the Assyrian deputies at a conference outside the city walls.
Eliakim--lately promoted to be master of the royal household ( Isaiah 22:20 ).
Shebna--removed for his pride and presumption ( Isaiah 22:15 ) from that office, though still royal secretary.
Joah . . . the recorder--that is, the keeper of the chronicles, an important office in Eastern countries.
19. Rab-shakeh said--The insolent tone he assumed appears surprising. But this boasting ( 2 Kings 18:19-25 ), both as to matter and manner, his highly colored picture of his master's powers and resources, and the impossibility of Hezekiah making any effective resistance, heightened by all the arguments and figures which an Oriental imagination could suggest, has been paralleled in all, except the blasphemy, by other messages of defiance sent on similar occasions in the history of the East.
27. that they may eat, &c.--This was designed to show the dreadful extremities to which, in the threatened siege, the people of Jerusalem would be reduced.

The Florida winter tomato deal — and perhaps the Florida tomato industry, period — could be at risk because of rapidly increasing volumes from Mexico, according to an industry veteran.
A Mexican industry official, meanwhile, says the tomato industry loses if any grower goes out of business, north or south of the border.
Tony DiMare, vice president of the Homestead, Fla.-based DiMare Co., one of Florida's largest shippers, said the U.S. government is not doing a good enough job cracking down on illegally low-priced Mexican tomatoes and on shipments that are not meant for export but come to the U.S. anyway.
Reggie Brown, executive vice president of the Maitland-based Florida Tomato Exchange, said there has been "some circumvention" in past years of a suspension agreement between the U.S. and Mexico that sets a price minimum, and he fears there could be more this season.
As a result, DiMare said, Florida tomato growers are struggling to weather an ever-increasing flood of Mexican product that is keeping prices below production costs for months at a time.
With rising production costs, the break-even price for Florida growers is $9 or $10 per box, DiMare said. Growers no longer enjoy the strong markets that make up for the weak ones, he said.
"It's at risk, there's no question about it," DiMare said. "We cannot continue to sustain these kinds of losses. It will eventually knock us out of the winter deal, and maybe eventually out of the entire deal."
That would hurt everyone, not just Florida, said Eric Viramontes, chief executive officer of the Mexican Association for Protected Horticulture, Culiacan.
"I can understand (DiMare's) worries," Viramontes said. "We don't want the industry to disappear in any area. We're all on the same ship."
That said, Viramontes asserts that all of the growers under his organization's umbrella are complying with the suspension agreement, though AMHPAC would welcome a greater role in the enforcement of it. That authority, he said, would have to come from the U.S. government.
"It's in our best interest that tomatoes not be dumped," Viramontes said.
AMHPAC does not, however, support changing the agreement to limit volumes, a change which DiMare said could be necessary to buoy markets.
"I see (DiMare's) point of view, but that would be opening a very dangerous door," Viramontes said. "You always have to think of the butterfly effect. You may regret it later."

Free competitions to enter has turned into somewhat of an obsession for some people in recent years. Even before the days of the internet there was "extreme couponing" whereby people would obsessively collect magazine coupons and supermarket vouchers in order to make as many savings as possible. However, comping is a different world entirely.
Comping refers to someone who actively seeks out free competitions and systematically enters them with the intention of cashing in on prizes. For most compers, it is a hobby. However, some compers claim that comping takes place instead of a full time job.
As they always say, "you have to be in it to win it" but surely there has to be more to it if so many people are achieving success? The first rule of comping is to look for free competitions everywhere. They aren't only available online; you'll notice them in magazines, newspapers, on television and on the radio. There are competitions pretty much everywhere you look. The key to comping is to take advantage of every opportunity available. If you don't enter, you won't win. The laws of probability dictate that the more competitions you enter, the higher your chance of winning. Some experts believe that the number of competition entrants is on the decrease currently which instantly increases your chance of success.
Another important tip is to stick to the rules. There is no cheat or quick route to winning. Entering free competitions in a legitimate manner and doing everything by the book is the only way that you will be successful. Always thoroughly read the rules and the terms and conditions. The closing date is important; it can be easy to waste time taking part in competitions which have hardly any entrants. Be sure to look for restrictions because the competition may not be open to you anyway. When judges are trying to find a winner, they often filter out entries who have not followed the rules. Some people estimate that a third of entrants are instantly ignored due to failing to adhere to competition rules.
One rule of entering free competitions which all compers understand is that the harder it is to enter, the easier you will find it to be successful. The vast majority of people enter competitions that are easy because they don't need to put time into it, so they have nothing to lose. Entering competitions to win prizes which require time naturally have less entrants which instantly increases your chance of success.
