I find it amusing that the Harper supporters are crying about the Economist. Where were you when it endorsed Harper in the last few elections, or went after Martin? Did you post such things as "stay in your own country", "focus on Brown", etc.??? Or were you happy and did the conservatives use quotes from the Economist in their campaign???
ps, the the guy that mentioned that P.E.T. prorogued more often, did you forget he was PM for a heck of a lot longer than Harper?
Proroguing of the house is generally a normal function when done as it is intended, Harper has used it for political gain.
Stephen Harper is a national and international embarrassment...how can we criticize the yanks for voting GWB, if we've elected Harper twice??!!! He needs to get sacked...He's done like dinner...he would sell our country to the Americans for a nickel...an American nickel if he could!!! No to Ignatieff as well...oh CRICKEY!! Pickings are truly slim, ladies and gents!!! What's Canada coming to?? We're spelling like the Americans amd politicking like them, next our health care and other social programmes...man alive!!! Options: Vote in a party who truly cares about Canada and wants to preserve Cdn culture by limiting American programming, business, and ownership in Canada or...jump ship and move to our sister countries Australia or New Zealand...
Harper doesn't like to be held accountable. Especially if it its the elected rabble of Parliament. He has a lot to answer for and is planning to engineer a spring election before the fallout of a careless housing boom, massive public debt and the end of stimulus packages show how poorly Canada will recover from the Great Recession. A recession Canada survived better than most because of the balanced budgets of the Chretien years with Martin as finance minister.
Harper like Iran's Almadjadin inspire distrust because they ooze arrogance and sneakyness even when they are telling the truth.
My son enjoys receiving a subscription for a gift. Because of your stupid, insulting and biased article about proroguing parliament for 12 working days that has nothing to do with economics, I will never buy another subscription. Just carry on with your lefty writers and you too can become bankrupt Canwest.
Parliament was to convene Jan 25 - 28 (they rarely work Fridays); then Feb 1-4 and Feb 8-9/10, as many will be at the opening, meeting heads of state etc. in Vancouver. Big deal!!!!
To Yappa: You are mistaken on several points that you made.
1) Chretian prorogued Parliament because the auditor general was about to release the report on the Quebec sponsorship scandel. The inquiry was effectively stopped. Chretian had no love for Martin as he was the cause of Chretian being forced to step down. When the report was released it would fall into Martin's hands.
2) Harper did not break his own election law. Queen's Universirty political science professor Ned Franks maintains that this only sets the full term at 4 years not any longer. The same is true with set provincial laws. A group called "Democracy Watch" took the Federal Government to court over this concept that a law had been broken. In Federal Court Judge Michael Shore threw the case out saying that Democracy Watch had not recognized the separation of powers that existed.
3) with respect to the Afghan detainees. Between 2006 andd 2009 there have been many complaints regarding torture. 3 allegations in 2006 and 2007 were examined and no evidence found. 6 allegations were in 2008. 5 of these have been examined and dismissed. The one that you are referring to is the 6th. Canadian Defense officials such as Rick Hillier, Michael Gauthier and David Frasier and 3 other generals have not seen evidence of abuse. Richard Colvin, who alleges there was torture had been assigned to Aghganistan before going to Washington. Not once while he was over there did he raise any complaints to Cabinet Ministers who visited.
Your statement that bills before Parliament must be re-introduced when the House reconvenes is not 100% accurate. A change was made in the 1980's so that government bills can be re-introduced at the point where they were when the House prorogued. If the House agrees this will happen. All private member's bill are automatically re-instated to the point where they were.http://www.parl.gc.ca/compendium/web-content/c_d_prorogationparliament-e.htm
The PMO sent out some talking points about Chretien's history of prorogation. Conservative operatives have been posting them in comments all over the place and they have totally muddied the debate. There is nothing normal about this prorogation.
Harper has NOT run standard or even acceptable sessions of parliament. He has made three controversial and questionable dissolutions of parliament since he took power less than four years ago, in February 2006:
(1) September 2008 - Harper dissolved parliament and called an election (or rather, forced the Governor General to) despite his own law, passed in 2007, that created fixed election dates every four years. He did this because two months later Canadians would have known that he had created a structural budget deficit.
(2) December 2008 - Harper prorogued parliament to avoid a non-confidence vote.
(3) December 2009 - This prorogation.
This prorogation was NOT done so that MPs can watch the Olympics or create a budget or have time to think. Parliament was prorogued because the special House of Commons committee focusing on the 2006-07 treatment of Afghan detainees had attained such overwhelming evidence that they held an emergency meeting on December 14 and then announced that they would widen the inquiry. On December 15, rumours started swirling that Harper would prorogue parliament.
It is NOT the case that Harper's use of prorogation is the same as the 104 other prorogations in Canada's history. Other than incidents in 1873 and 1926, prorogation has not been used to avoid being accountable to parliament.
It is NOT true that Chretien's 2003 prorogation was the same as this one. In the 2003 incident, Chretien prorogued when Martin was voted in to replace him as PM, so the parliamentary agenda needed to be reset, which is the purpose of proroguing.
To all you whiny Canadians who are offended that a British newspaper would have such a strong opinion on Canadian politics and resort yourselves to name-calling and demeaning the small size of the British Isles, you forget that the British are the ones who actually control Canada. The Queens representative (Canada's head of state and commander-in-chief) actually prorogued parliament and has absolute power over Canada and the British are really at the heart of this matter. Don't forget that Iggy is essentially British himself and has done nothing to stop this.
Before this conversation ends, let's remember something important. The Economist article, this forum, television pundits pontificating about prorogation, newspaper editorials and Facebook petitions -- they're all good, but they're all just words. Words that won't last or make a difference.
If you're as angry as I am about Harper's brazen attack on our parliamentary democracy, then take action. Rallies are being organized across Canada for Janurary 23rd. Look for one near you. Be there!
Our political system may not be perfect, but it's still one of the best and fairest in the world. Without parliamentary accountability, people like Harper will take from us what we value most.
You know as well as I do that Harper is counting on our well-known Canadian political apathy to get his way. Let's prove him wrong.
I agree completely with everything in both your article and editorial on the prorogation of the Canadian parliament. Thank you for publishing them. I only wish that Canadians, including the opposition, were as concerned and informed.
Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament on Face book, 136 thousand and growing. We are not amused Mr Harper, not by a long shot.
He has reneged on his promise of better government than Liberal Jean Chretien. There is growing concern in Canada over his personal style and too many offences against promises he made - a long list. Today over half the country has reservations of this prorogue against good support for his party. the incivility of his government irks me and many commentators in the news - I have seen parliamentary committees with "bullying" tactics by the Conservatives - reminds me of apartheid days in my native country. There is a list of undemocratic moves by this government.
While I agree with most of your comments regarding Mr. Harper's insidious decision to prorogue Parliament, I do not consider Mr. Harper a competent tactician. He is, as is Mr. Obama, Mr. Brown and many political leaders, an obedient puppet of the powerful Central Banking cartel, ie: The Bilderberg Group.
As to abundant carbon issues, the only true issue is the new opportunity for Central Banks to scoop more taxes under the umbrella of Carbon Taxation. Now that the "scientific" myth of Global Warming has been exposed, the world needs to shake of the shackles of this grotesque plot for a New World Order.
One good thing, Harper & Company cannot pass new tax legislation when they are on extended vacation. Hmmm - perhaps as taxpayer we should un-authorize this "time off" and deduct if from MP salaries?
Thank you for your article, not that I imagine Harper will even read, never mind being influenced by, it. After all, he runs a Government in which only one opinion counts.
By proroguing yet again, Harper has clearly demonstrated his contempt for Parliament, its Members, and, by implication, those who send them there. I look forward to the opportunity to reciprocate this contempt, and hope all Canadian voters will do likewise.
I dsiagree with valentin Erickson`s comment on january 8th:
There's nothing out of the ordinary about doing this. What I like about prorogation in this specific case, is that it represents a blow to the opposition parties, because it makes it more difficult for them to criticize the Conservatives until Parliament resumes. It is a very deft political move from a communications point of view.
'I actually admire Mr. Harper even more now. Nobody cares about what liberals and socialists think. According to poll results released Wednesday by Nanos' research firm, the Conservatives enjoy a 9.3 per cent lead over the Liberal party. As long as we remain ahead in the polls, opposition parties will not bring down the government.
And conservatives are soon to have a majority in the Senate!'
Valentin, whether you like the Tories or not, please consider the value of the harper Goverment being held accountable in Parliament is that the Government of the day does not run roughshod over your rights and my rights.
One day the Opposition party will be in power, and in such a csse, you may want some protection for your point of view and the MPs you support!!
Be careful of what you (somewhat smugly) are wishing for!!
I am amazed at this comment by 2592380 on Jan 7 at 6;30 PM (quoted below):
(By way of a footnote, I was Official Agent for a Tory candidate in a past federal election and worked for my local Tory candidate in 2006; in 2008 I stayed on the sidelines)
'The sad reality is that the Parliament of Canada has become little more than a circus. Proroguing it robs the Canadian people of nothing -- there is no valuable discussion, debate or consideration that happens within the House of Commons. Nor are its committees anything more than a platform for political theatre.
While proroguing does not harm, neither does it provide any solutions. Nothing short of a sea change in political culture in Canada will herald any lasting improvements.'
The key, 2592380, is **accountability**. Yes, the Opposition has fewer resources. Yes, the Opposition is not as well organized as the Harper team. But the Opposition can hold accountable the Government, including the PM and his Ministers, for their actions or lack of action on issues if the House of Commons is in session!!.
Harper says he wants to consult Canadians on the proposed March budget; that is behaviour like that of Venezuelan Pres. Chavez with his mass television shows and polls. Why not consult our elected MPs, Prime Minister? Such a puzzling and confusing lunge for power!!
If we degrade Parliament we could well get a Supreme Soviet rubber stamp. Remember, PM Harper in November 2009 sadly wanted to cut research budgets before the Opposition. So sad. That created the first proroguing in December 2009. Please consider writing (postage free) to the PM and your MP to say you want Parliament to resume January 25! The address is The Rt. Hon. Steven Harper, PC, MP, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON KlA 0A6. For your MP it is (again postage free) `Name of Member, MP, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6.
Remember e-mails can be deleted but letters have to be opened to see what the comment is.
Also, please be polite as one always gets more bees with honey than vinegar!!
I am a former parliamentary candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada and I am appalled at what Mr Harper has done.
For all the non-Canadian readers, here is some context:
It is common knowledge that Harper has the greatest contempt for all Canada's Democratic institutions and is systematically dismantling this nation and abandoning its responsibilities leaving the Provinces to fill the void. To see just exactly what he has planned we simply have to look at what he has done.
Harper caused serious disruption to Parliament and its Committees, obstructing and responding only with insults instead of any serious discussion. He then called an election contrary to the spirit of his legislation, claiming that Parliament is dysfunctional - neat trick, make it dysfunctional and then use that to justify his anti-democratic actions.
Soon Harper will claim Canada is dysfunctional and defer entirely to the Provinces.
The power to do these things has always been there, especially for PM's that have a majority, or even a large majority. So, why is Harper doing this, whereas Mulroney and Chrétien didn't. One need only consider that the previous PM's had the interests of Canada, all Canadians and the future of this nation, at heart.
Whereas, Harper's base is in Alberta. They make up the die-hardest of his supporters, and perhaps the source of the lion's share of the Con's funding. Harper, from the start has done everything to increase Alberta' autonomy and protect its oil industry, and Canada be damned - this is nowhere more apparent than Harper's policies on Global Warming. Natural Resources Department assessment indicates that the projected increase to economic growth from the oil industry is $885 billion between 2000 and 2020, including growth of $634 billion in Alberta. Just imagine how much the benefit would remain in Alberta if there were no Federal taxes. Then there is the transfer payments, which would be hugely increased, that would be done away with. You do the math.
Note that: "where much is decided at the provincial level" is 'Con[servative] code' for the above.
Proroguing Parliament is outrageous and a very dangerous precedent. As pointed out. Now anytime the PM gets his government into trouble they simply has to prorogue. This will have a neutering effect on Parliament and marginalize it to the point of being irrelevant. Without Parliament, who will be in a position to keep Harper and the Con's in check. There is no other Institution that has the right to obtain the information, present it to Canadians and actually do something about it.
As far as Afghanistan Detainee Transfer Scandal, Harper may be able to Prorogue Parliament. But, he can't Prorogue the the International Criminal Courts at the Hague - those 'For whom the Gavel Falls' - must answer.
How do you get a seat as an onlooker at the Int'l Criminal Court, anyway. Do they sell tickets? Do you to book in advance? Are there Scalpers? Can you apply to be on the prosecution team? Pro Bono? I asked MacKay, you were Foreign Affairs Minister, to check that out for me, but I haven't heard back, yet. Any of your reading know. Thanks.

Last time, it was to "oppose" the democratically elected Bloc within the coalition. Going as far as to say a coalition government wasn't "democratic".
This time, it is to avoid the questions they don't want to answer. I've been going threw Canadian medias and you'd be shocked, but no one seem to agree with this move. Not even the most conservative Albertan press, no one. Certainly not our leftist press here (Quebec), who use the same silly rhetoric as the Right for similar issues... that is to say, calling this a dictatorial move (Reductio ad Hitlerum works both ways). But Right-Wing and Left-Wing Canada can all get together on this one and feel ripped off by our government. Why even vote, if you're not represented? Why pay taxes if they can't be bothered to tell you what those taxes are for? I think it's time to boot out Ignatieff and work on a new coalition, no choice, that government just discredited themselves.
Mind you, I am very much right-wing and have a hard time with NDP running around wielding any forms of power. I am so disgusted by Ignatieff that I'd rather vote for the Green, the Bloc or the Conservatives despite it all. So, since no one satisfies us... and that is a bully move by the Tory, I do hope a few things happen.
1) Stephen Harper lose his job, eventually! Not sure how, it would need to come from his own discontented caucus. What he done now is disgraceful!
2) Michael Ignatieff lose his job, as soon as possible! No one take him seriously as an alternative. He may be good for the BBC and the New York Times, he is not to run a country.
We start reforming our parties to something people can feel they want to vote for. In the meantime, don't be surprised if Quebec keep on voting for the Bloc, en bloc... and not just the separatists as the Tories would love you to believe, but everyone.
Don't mention it too loud, but this remind any separatist... why they want to separate! Proroguing the Parliament, with the blessing of Her Majesty? Get us the hell out of this country! D.G. Regina, yes right.
The Economist mention also that Canada have a decentralized Federalism? Now really, we didn't notice? You tell that to Québec (socialist secessionist) and Alberta (conservative secessionist) and see who agree with this. We'd really love to be like the US with Provinces wielding much more power, but that is just plainly not the case. If the Federal government want to get out of the way, fine. Rewrite the Constitution and outsource most of what you do to Provincial, which can trickle it down to Municipal government as well. The Federal can deal with the army, highways and foreign policies. Canada is way too big to allow for a functioning Central Government whom never can understand the problems each regions face. That is a problem every separatists understand... and now other Provinces start to see what we meant, 45 years later or so.
If the Tories themselves hate to respond to questions, maybe we shouldn't have to ask them in the first place. If you don't want to yield the powers granted to you, give it to the Provincial PMs. Time to americanize Canadian politics if you ask me, we're too large for this nonsense, we're not European. Irresponsible central government leave us all in the dark.
What if tomorrow, we had terrorists bombing Toronto or Montreal or, you know, the more likely target that will become Vancouver during the Olympics, under a Prorogued Parliament? I'm not sure exactly how that would play out, but I wonder. What would we do then? How would the decisions for our response be taken? I am a conservative at heart,which characterize me as someone who don't trust the government too much. Who is now responsible for this country if we are attacked? The Governor General exclusively? I don't like that one bit!

His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. |
2 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done. | 2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done. |
3 And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon. | 3 It was because of the LORD's anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence. Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. |
4 And in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it. | 4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army.

She and Mickey don't get as much press and Brad and Jen, Ben and Jen, or (put in celebrity-of-the-moment here), and he's kept his little crush a secret for quite some time.

No, despite all the warnings you heard growing up, your eyesight is no worse off if you spent your childhood reading under the covers without much light.
"The eyes are designed to work in all sorts of lighting conditions, from the dark of night to bright sunlight," says James B. Ruben, pediatric ophthalmologist and director of pediatric ophthalmology at Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento, California.
The part of the eye that's used for reading (the cones in the area of central vision) is most sensitive to brighter light, Ruben explains. It's more difficult to read when the light is low, but no harm is done.

'Draft Day' Review: Finally, a Sports Movie for People Who Really Like Sports (and Split Screens)
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on April 10, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's NFL draft time, and the Cleveland Browns' general manager Sonny Weaver (Kevin Costner) is in a tight spot. The pressure is on from the public, the team's owner (Frank Langella), the coach (Denis Leary) and the rest of the organization to build the best team possible. He manages the unthinkable early on and gets his team the first pick, but it was a panicked move that actually does more harm than good. Now he's on the clock and running out of time — it's the ninth inning, he's in the end zone, and there's blood on the ice — oh, and his girlfriend (Jennifer Garner) just told him that she's pregnant. This is the kind of crazy day that can only fully be captured with split screens. Lots and lots of split screens. Thankfully director Ivan Reitman is happy to oblige. It's almost as if he just discovered the technology or is trying to win a contest. Draft Day is a poor man's Moneyball in the sense that the screenwriters probably watched Moneyball at some point and thought to themselves "what if a rogue personality went against the grain to build their, wait for it, football team?" In addition to changing sports though they also swapped statistics and logic for gut instinct and contrivance, replaced character depth with daddy issues and removed any semblance of dramatic suspense by setting the story entirely on one day and off the field.
'Spider-Man' Star Denis Leary On How to Bring a Movie With a Giant Lizard Man Back Down to Earth
Features By Jack Giroux on July 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe Amazing Spider-Man can get ridiculous. By its very nature, there's an inherent silliness to Marc Webb's reboot of the iconic character. There's a giant talking lizard wearing a lab coat, and in terms of comic books movies, you can't get much more cartoony than that. What stops The Amazing Spider-Man from playing as an all out cartoon is both the emotional grounding from Webb's part and the comedic touches made with Captain Stacy, played by Denis Leary. Without ever making an obnoxious ironic smirk about that kid in unitard, Webb utilizes Leary as a way to pull the film back down to earth. In the 1990s, we saw Denis Leary in his fair share of commercial movies, and, as even he would admit to and poke fun at, not many of them were particularly good. As of late, while Leary's schedule was packed with his Rescue Me duties, we saw a real lack of him appearing on the big screen. What does it take to get Leary in your movie now? The possibility of a good time is certainly a part of it. Denis Leary, who seemed to be enjoying himself during The Amazing Spider-Man's press day, sat down with us to discuss firing shotguns, when making a movie doesn't "suck," and the importance of knowing structure:
'The Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer Shoots Action, Insight and Sticky Stuff Right at Your Eyes
Movie Trailers By Rob Hunter on May 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe summer of 2012 will go down as one of the biggest movie-going seasons for comic-book superheroes, and it's a feat that probably won't be repeated anytime soon. Joss Whedon's fantastically entertaining The Avengers opens tomorrow and Christopher Nolan closes out his epic Batman trilogy with The Dark Knight Rises this July, but nestled in between those two guaranteed blockbusters is a web-slinging wildcard. Director Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man is fighting an uphill battle as it reboots Sam Raimi's beloved trilogy that's less than a decade old. It's an origin story, of course, but Webb and friends insist that doesn't mean we know the whole story… Check out the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man below.
Video: Graffiti Artists Support Vigilante as Captain George Stacy Condemns The 'Spider-Man'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs we all know, our streets are riddled with crime. You can't even go down a dark alleyway without getting mugged or attacked by a roving troop of Improv Everywhere participants. What we don't all know is whether or not we can trust the red-masked menace who calls himself Spider-Man to be a force for good. Is he really fighting crime or is he committing it? Either way, he's inspiring local street artists to tag for him – leaving giant spray paint spiders on concrete walls all over the city – and inspiring Captain George Stacy to set up a hotline where citizens can call and report sightings in an attempt to bring in the man for questioning. According to The Daily Bugle, the number to call is 1-877-651-8503, and the police have even set up a website for Spider-Man tips. Check out the interview with Stacy as he explains why Spider-Man is dangerous and suggests the news team over at The Daily Bugle spend some time with a dictionary.
'The Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer Teases An Untold Story
Movie Trailers By Rob Hunter on February 7, 2012 | Comments (4)The new trailer for Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man reboot has just hit the web… and it doesn't look bad at all! The film stars Andrew Garfield as the titular and angst-filled hero and Emma Stone as the love interest alongside Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Denis Leary, Rhys Ifans, C. Thomas Howell and Campbell Scott (and yes, probably Stan Lee). It claims to tell the "untold story" but appears to be an origin tale, so who knows what Webb and friends have up their sleeve. (Beside the web shooter I mean.) Check out the new trailer below.
Channel Guide: 'Rescue Me' Finale Goes Out at the Top of the Ladder
Channel Guide By Merrill Barr on September 7, 2011 | Comments (1)In 2004, Rescue Me premiered to an audience that just three years earlier has suffered one of the biggest tragedies of its lifetime. Since then, the show has gone on to be critically praised for its very real portrayal of life for those closest to (and sometimes far from) the tragedy of 9/11. From its dealings with PTSD in firefighters, the loss of relatives (both in blood and in spirit), and general themes about family, Rescue Me has never pulled any punches in the way it delivers its drama, and it all finally come to an end in the series finale.
Channel Guide: 'Rescue Me' Begins Its Final Trip Down The Streets of Manhattan
Features By Merrill Barr on July 13, 2011 | Comments (2)No one can deny that in the last ten years there has been a revolution in the world of basic cable television. The programs that air now are generations ahead of what the landscape used to be. And this summer we will see the end to one of the programs that ushered in that change, Rescue Me. Yes, sadly the boys of Ladder 62 will be hopping into the rig for the final time come the end of the season, but from what this reviewer has seen so far (seven of the nine episodes), the show has no plans in riding of quietly into the sunset.
Denis Leary Switching to Cop for 'Spider-Man'
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 18, 2010 | Comments (3)As 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb gets closer to putting Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) into Spidey's spandex, casting of the smaller roles continues. We've already got the principles for Sony's next Spider-Man reboot: Garfield as Parker, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans as The Lizard, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May. Now we get to add Denis Leary as George Stacy, the father of Gwen.
It's been two months since a saw blade fell on Damien's head while the crew was trying to save Lou from a pile of coffins. And by the start of the opening credits his fate will be known. But that's not enough for the all mighty Tommy Gavin as he is now juggling two family lives, trying to be a father, husband and a confidant to Shelia. Mike and Sean finally get the memorial they have been fighting for, for Pat Maoney. And Lou receives a final warning from his doctor, but remember it's Lou, so don't take anything he says to be truthful… At least not yet.
Picking up right where last week left off, Mickey has shown up at the Gavin home after walking in on Tommy and Shelia. It isn't long before Janet finds out and now Tommy must convince her that it's over between him and Shelia. At the same time, Damien begins to seriously consider leaving the FDNY for good after a heart-to-heart with Mickey. To the point that he puts his papers in with Feinberg. Lou also gets some very depressing news about his health and his future as a fire fighter. And when the crew gets a call tonight, one of them won't be making it back for the nightly ball busting session.
It's a new day for 62 truck. Thanks to Needles political know how (and some video trickery) the fire house has been reopened. Tommy and Janet make a final decision regarding the future of their relationship. The fate of Sean and Mike's cancer ridden friend Pat Mahoney is revealed. Damien and Penny decide to take their relationship to the next level. Major developments: The fire house is re-opened. Damien hits a homer with Penny. Tommy and Janet begin a new. Tommy and Shelia end everything (supposedly). Pat Mahoney dies.
Things take a turn for the worse for 62 Truck when the fire house is closed by the city. But that isn't going to stop the FDNY boys from proving their worth to everyone. Tommy and Janet try to patch things up after learning the results of Tommy's "unusual" methods on Colleen. Damien begins to question his loyalty to the job. Major developments: Colleen has been cured of her alcoholism. The fire house has been shut down.
Upon arriving to a car crash, 62 truck comes upon the horrendous dead body of a young girl killed by a drunk driver. But this is no ordinary girl. This girl hits Tommy harder than any call ever before. Now Tommy will take it upon himself to cure Colleen before she meets the same fate. Animosity will also rise between Franco and Black Shawn, which will lead to a brutal end. Major developments: Actually, this episode is all set up. There are no major developments to speak of since we don't know the outcomes of any of the actions taken yet. What worked: Two words, Holy Shit! That's all I could think of when this episode was over. I mean, an alcohol baptism? How does someone in a writers room come up with something like that. It's out there, even by Rescue Me standards. But that's what made it so awesome. The execution of that scene was raw and emotional. Thank god that they didn't give any humor (except The Godfather bit, but I'll let that slide) to that scene at all. It was eerily perfect.
After a night of pure binging, Tommy wakes up with zero recollection of what occurred the night before. But that is the least of his worries, because upon his waking, he learns that Colleen has disappeared after spending the night with him. Now it's a race against the clock for 62 truck to find Colleen before the worst comes to fruition. On top of that, it turns out there is much more to Mickey and Teddy's master plan for Tommy than anyone expected.
After his heart attack, Lou is laid up in the hospital. Upon learning of this, The West Side Wild Men push up the date of their cook out. Now the crew has no choice but to bust Lou out of the hospital before all is lost. A man from Sean's past attempts to break out of the hospital with the rest of the crew. Tommy tries to find guidance from Father Phil, in an attempt to save his marriage. Damien begins dating Penny from West Side, but the crew just isn't going to stand for that. There may be more to Franco's and Janet's relationship than previously indicated. And the biggest question of all is answered… Who could pass for a doctor more, a black man or a Puerto Rican?
It's his first day back on the job and Tommy is already starting to feel the stress. Not to mention that this is going to be the most eventful shift in the history of 62 Truck. Sean and Mike also try and find a way to give back to the community. Lou realizes that there is much more wrong with him than his gut, and it won't end well for him.
Episode: 'Change' (Season 6, Episode 2) Airs: FX, Tuesdays, 10pm Episode synopsis: Tommy comes to terms with his dream and tries to do right by the people he has wronged. Major developments: Tommy finally admits to Lou the truth about what he saw when he died, unfortunately he also admits it inadvertently to the rest of the crew. But, no one is surprised by what he saw. Tommy also makes an attempt to tell Janet his true feelings for her, this too blows up in his face.
Rescue Me returns for its sixth season finale as Tommy tries to come to grips with what he saw on "the other side," while budget cuts threaten the fate of 62 truck.
Interview: Peter Tolan and Callie Thorne Talk 'Rescue Me' Season 6
Interviews By Merrill Barr on June 29, 2010 | Comments (1)It's amazing after seven years (if you count the minisodes season due to the writers strike) that FX's firefighter drama Rescue Me is still going strong. I had a chance to sit down with series co-creator/writer Peter Tolan and star Callie Thorne to talk about the upcoming season.
Whether it be fear, loss or redemption, every season of Rescue Me has an underlying theme. Based on the first four episodes, I can say without a doubt that the theme of season six is going to be faith. The four episodes also tell me that this season, is going to be as good, if not better than ever. The writers are giving it all in these last two seasons and their push for excellence shows as bright as the muzzle flash from Teddy's gun.

[Blu-Ray Review] DOCTOR WHO & THE DALEKS/DALEK'S INVASION EARTH 2150 AD
I grew up loving Doctor Who. In the 1980's I had Peter Davison guiding me through the adventures of the madman in his box, but as I grew older I started to discover, thanks to my Dad being a Doctor Who fan as well, that there were previous adventures that I hadn't seen & I soon became acquainted with the previous incarnations of the Doctor. Which led me to discover a strange entry into the Doctor Who franchise.
Two films that were released in the 1960's, due to the popularity of the TV show, which re-imagined two of the best 1st Doctor adventures into full colour films – you have to remember that this was a big thing in the 1960's as Doctor Who had only appeared on TV in black & white.
And now, these two films are getting a remastered Blu-Ray release just in time to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of this well loved franchise. But just how do these big screen adventures fair?
Barbara (Jennie Linden) is excitedly getting ready for a night out with her new boyfriend, Ian (Roy Castle), much to the amusement of her Grandfather Dr. Who & her sister Susan (Roberta Tovey). When Ian arrives early, Dr. Who & Susan keep him busy while Barbara finishes getting ready, and they decide the perfect thing to show him would be Dr. Who's latest invention, TARDIS.
TARDIS is a wonderous machine, cleverly disguised as an every day Police Box. But inside the box, an amazing space that is seemingly too big for the small box exists. This amazing space confounds Ian and as he tries to leave in shock he bumps into the entering Barbara & falls over, activating the machine.
Unknown to Ian, TARDIS is a machine capable of travelling not only in time but in space as well, and the machine has taken the quartet to the mysterious planet of Skaro.
Soon, the adventurers find themselves caught up in a conflict between the peaceful Thals & the monstrous Dalek's – both races are descendants of the original inhabitants of the planet, which had been devastated in a previous conflict between the Thals & the Kaled's (the Dalek's ancestors) which the Kaled's won by launching a nuclear attack on the Thals.
This attack caused the Kaled's to mutate, and now they can only survive in war machines called Dalek's. Now, it's up to Dr. Who to save the Thals from this monstrous race.
DALEK'S INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D Plot
Tom Campbell (Bernard Cribbins) is a Special Constable in the London Police force. While on patrol one night, he stumbles upon a jewellery store robbery. Attacked by the robbers, Tom stumbles to what he believes is a Police Call Box, but when he opens the door finds himself confronted by not only a space that is too big & wonderous for the plain wooden box he has just entered, but three people – the mysterious Dr. Who, his granddaughter Susan & his niece Louise (Jill Curzon).
Just as Tom enters, Dr. Who was preparing to take his two companions into the future, and the TARDIS vanishes from the London street corner, only to reappear in London in the year 2150 A.D.
But the time travellers find that this London is one that seems to have devastated by some kind of attack as the population has vanished & the buildings are in ruins.
It's not long before they find out what has happened, however, as Dr. Who discovers that his one time adversaries the Dalek's have invaded Earth & laid waste to all of the countries of the Earth. Some of the population have been turned into braindead robots called "Robo-Men" but most have been sent to work in mysterious mines.
Now, Dr. Who has to join up with the remaining resistance as he must beat the monstrous Dalek's to save not only the world, but his granddaughter & niece.
Made by horror film house Amicus, the 1960 Doctor Who films took two of the most popular TV stories & used them for the basis of the films, and even though they did change certain aspects the technicolour spectacle of the Daleks is still something to behold and, even though he is a human rather than an alien, the Doctor as played by Peter Cushing is a lot more appealing & personable than the William Hartnell version.
That said, the second film featuring the Dalek's invasion of Earth is a lot better than the first adventure. In part this is because of the more exciting premise but it's also because of the cast. Bernard Cribbins is a lot better than Roy Castle, and Cushing seems to be enjoying the role he plays more and Jill Curzon is less annoying as Louise than Jennie Linden was as Barbara.
Likewise, the effects are better and there is something much more frightening about seeing the Dalek's stalking their human prey through the ruined city streets than it was seeing them pursuing the Doctor & his companions through the corridors of the Dalek city (mainly because once they'd escaped the confines of the city they were pretty much safe as the Dalek's couldn't leave!).
But both films are fun, even if they are showing their age a little – but saying that they haven't dated as much as the original 1960's TV episodes have & the big screen sensibilities lend the Doctor's adventures something that the TV show was initially lacking, in that it gave it a much bigger stage.
The restoration work done on these Blu-Rays is pretty impressive, and any fan is going to be pleased with the high definition Dalek's and it truly is the best that these films have looked since they were first released.
Closing Credits
While it is kind of annoying as a fan that the Doctor is not actually the Doctor from the TV series, Peter Cushing is an inspired choice & brings the right air of mystery to the character. And while these films may not be something that fans who are only used to the modern era of the TV show will enjoy, for long time fans there is much to enjoy here.
If you are not already a fan of the adventures of the Doctor then I wouldn't suggest picking this release up, however if you are already a fan then you owe it to yourself to treat yourself to the HD vision of the Dalek's and while the Blu-Ray's don't bring anything really new to the package with regards to extras, there are interesting (if a little short) featurettes on the restoration process done on both films while also preserving the previously released extras from the DVDs, with the Dalekmania documentary well worth a watch.

Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food his views on the workings of the beef quality assurance scheme; when this scheme will commence; whether the cost will be carried by the herd owner; whether an appeal system exists; the individual or body which is part of such an appeals procedure; and whether legal aid will be available to those who feel aggrieved on this procedure. [3574/98] Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh) Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh) Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh): The national beef assurance scheme has three main elements. These are the development of transparent and integrated production and processing protocols — standards — applicable to all parties in the food chain, i.e. producers, processors, livestock marts and animal feed compounders; the enforcement of these protocols through a registration and approval process; and a bovine animal identification and tracing system. It is intended to phase in the scheme gradually over the coming months. Capital and other start-up costs will be borne by the State. Running costs will be shared by the State and by the industry. The registration and approval process will include an appeals procedure, the precise details of which are being finalised. Dáil Éireann 487 Written Answers. Beef Quality.

I'd like to change my single 30 inch basement stairwell door (outswings into the kitchen) to two 15 inch non-glass outswing french doors so that there is less interference with the walkway in the kitchen. I am pretty sure that the current door is a hollow core masonite 6 panel door installed when the house was built in 1979, and that there are current 15 inch closet folding panel doors which could be modified into what I need. However, I was concerned about fire safety and building codes and though you all might know the answer to the following questions.
1. Does the door at the top of a basement stairwell need to be fire rated in a single family residence? Does the answer change if we decide to rent out a bedroom in the basement (unlikely and this question is not about that, but for inquiring minds, we do already have the proper egress in place.
thank you in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't believe there are any fire code restrictions on a basement door. Most people would be in violation if it were the case. Could you get a pocket door in there? |
I believe the answer does change if you rent out a basement apt. I think that you need to have fire separation in a legal apt. As for a glass door. A glass door (or windowed door) can be within code, but all glass will have to be tempered. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 8:01
I do believe the code requires the door to be insulated and weatherstripped. |
Ok I know this is an old post of mine but does anyone know where in the world 15" wide double french doors (to fit a 30 inch opening) can be found? Home depot has bifolds but I don't want bifolds. I'm looking for ones similar to those posted by lagrant at the bottom of this thread. Prefer glass with lites but even solid 3 panel doors would be fine. |
Here is a link that might be useful: prior narrow french door posting
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Aug 6, 12 at 15:57
By wood sidelites, they will be essentially the same thing. |
A gardenweb member that I emailed very kindly told me that the bifolds at home depot will work mounted as center opening french doors and they are under $300 for the pair so i am very excited! Millworkman, just curious- can the sidelites be used as actual doors? thank you! |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 8:51
Yes as they are essentially the same thing as doors. Bifolds from HD will more than like be 1 1/8 which I believe will be a little flimsy for what your looking to use them for and you will not be able to weatherstrip a Bifold worth a dam. |

I keep my day-to-day living as simple as possible, so when a crisis hits, I have some reserves and resources available to handle the crisis. This may not be true for the Russian people. Their day-to-day lives have been very difficult for a long time. I can see why the comment: "Any idiot can face a crisis" was made. When a nation's money is spent to face crisis, that's the outcome. If a nation's money is spent to make day-to-day living easier for the people, that will be the outcome. |

A new immigration plan unveiled by Democrats would require all Americans to obtain national identification cards.
Democrats say their top priority is to secure the border. Their plan creates a path to citizenship for more than 10 million immigrants.
Within the legislation is a requirement that every worker in the U.S. carry an ID card filled with biometric information.
"The cardholders' identity will be verified by matching the biometric identifier store within the micro-processing chip on the card to the identifier provided by the cardholder that shall be read by the scanner used by the employer," according to the legislation.
Opponents say the cards are a threat to privacy and individual freedoms.
"Creating a biometric national ID will not only be astronomically expensive, it will usher government into the very center of our lives." said Christopher Calabrese of the American Civil Liberties Union. "Every worker in America will need a government permission slip in order to work."
The proposal would also crack down on employers who hire undocumented workers and -- among other things -- calls for more border patrol officers, increased prosecution of drug smuggling and unauthorized border crossing and more equipment to track illegal immigrants.

Other Pets at Second Chance DOG Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Leo, a Prole Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in Prole, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Prole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Prole already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Prole breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Prole paves the way for another one to be saved.

Loss For Owens, Win for McSwain
The State College Spikes have a scheduled day off today, and the GCL Pirates were washed out again.
Binghamton Mets �9, �Altoona Curve �6 (box)
Three runs in the top of the 10th broke a 6-6 tie and gave the Mets the extra-inning win. �Ramon Aguero took the mound for the Curve to begin the inning, and he began by giving up a single. �The next batter dropped down a bunt, but C Kris Watts grabbed it fast enough to make the force out at second base, leaving a runner on first. �Aguero walked the next batter, then gave up a double that brought in both runners. �Moments later, another double drove in the third run of the inning.
Watts led off the bottom of the 10th with a double, and SS Chase d'Arnaud walked, but two ground outs ended the inning before either of them could score, and the Mets had the win.
Curve starter Rudy Owens could not get through the 5th inning tonight, as he gave up 5 runs on 13 hits, though he also struck out 6 batters. �The Mets got going right away in the top of the 1st, on two doubles and three singles, scoring 3 runs off Owens. �A double play got Owens out of a jam in the 2nd inning, after he'd given up another double and single pair. �Back-to-back doubles brought in a run for the Mets in the 3rd inning. �Owens did retire the side in order in the 4th, but got right back into trouble in the 5th. �A lead-off home run, followed by a strikeout and 3 consecutive singles to load the bases, and that was all for Owens. �Dustin Molleken came on in relief and left the bases loaded when he struck out the next two batters to end the inning.
The Curve began their comeback in the bottom of the inning. �They had put at least one runner on base in each of the first 4 innings, but could not get any of them around to score. �With one out in the bottom of the 5th, CF Gorkys Hernandez and 3B Josh Harrison hit back-to-back singles, with Hernandez going to third on Harrison's hit. �1B Hector Gimenez's sacrifice fly brought in Hernandez. �Three consecutive singles by 2B Jordy Mercer, LF Brandon Jones, and RF Miles Durham brought in two more runs, and the Curve had come within 2 runs of the Mets.
Dustin Molleken reached base on a throwing error to begin the 6th inning. �He moved to second base on Chase d'Arnaud's single and then to third on Hernandez's ground out. �Josh Harrison's sacrifice fly brought Molleken in to score, and the Curve crept closer. �They took the lead in the bottom of the 8th. �Kris Watts led off with a single, and he was bunted to second by LF Anthony Norman, who entered the game in a double-switch. �D'Arnaud walked, and a ground out by Hernandez moved both runners into scoring position. �Harrison obliged with a single lined into center field, scoring both Watts and d'Arnaud, to give the Curve a 6-5 lead.
Binghamton tied the score again in the top of the 9th, on back-to-back doubles off reliever Diego Moreno. That took the game into extra innings, when the Mets got the win.
The two teams combined for 33 hits in the game — 19 for the Mets and 14 for the Curve. �Gorkys Hernandez, Josh Harrison, and Kris Watts had 3 hits each.
Curve starter Bryan Morris has been selected to play in the Futures' Game on the US team. �He will be facing teammate Gorkys Hernandez, who will be on the World team. �Bradenton's Tony Sanchez was also named to the US team, but will have to miss the game due to his fractured jaw.
Marte Begins Rehab; Spikes' Rookies Shine In Pro Debut
GCL Pirates 10, �GCL Yankees �1 (box)
The Pirates beat up on the Yankees this afternoon, and faced an old friend. �John Van Benschoten made a rehab start for the Yankees, and the Pirates did not treat him very nicely. �RF�Gregory Polanco singled and stole second base, and LF Exicardo Cayonez walked on Van Benschoten in the 1st inning, though he kept them from scoring. �3B Eric Avila began the 2nd inning with a solo homer off Van Benschoten, and C Joey Schoenfeld also walked.
Once Van Benschoten left (after 2 innings), the Pirates continued to pound at the Yankees. �They scored another run in the 3rd in two errors and an RBI single by Cayonez. �They added 3 more runs in the 4th. �After a walk to 1B Dylan Child, rehabbing CF Starling Marte, working his way back after hand surgery, singled. Child scored on 2B Jorge Bishop's double, and Marte came in on a wild pitch. �Polanco's RBI single brought in Bishop.
Colton Cain began the game by giving up one hit over his first two innings, then allowed a run on two singles and two walks in the 3rd inning. �He started the 4th inning and got two outs, then walked a batter, and was relieved by Yeyber Sanchez. Sanchez finished the 4th, then pitched a scoreless 5th, allowing two hits. �James Archibald made his pro debut with three ground outs in the 6th inning. �Bryce Weidman, Dovydas Neverauskas, and Fraylin Campos all added a scoreless inning for the Pirates.
The Pirates scored 2 more runs in the 7th. �Avila was hit by a pitch, then stole both second and third bases, and scored on DH�Luis Solano's single. �A fielding error allowed Solano to score. �Back-to-back singles by Child and CF�Junior Sosa began the rally in the 9th. �two passed balls loaded the bases, and a ground out scored Child. �Cayonez doubled, driving in two more runs, to give the Pirates a total of 3 in the inning and 10 in the game.
Starling Marte went 2-for-4 for the day, with one run scored. �Cayonez was 3-for-5 with a double and 3 RBI, and Avila was 2-for-3 with 2 runs, a homer, and an RBI.
Curve Fall Apart in 9th; Grossman and Huber With 4 Hits Each
Binghamton Mets �7, �Altoona Curve �6 (box)
The Curve thought they were in the drivers' seat going in to the bottom of the 9th. �They were leading the Mets, 6-1. �Their starter Bryan Morris had pitched 7 innings and allowed only that one run on two walks and a single in the 5th, and he had scattered 2 other hits. �Reliever Mike Dubee had retired the Mets in order in the 8th. �Curve batters had scored 3 runs in the 2nd inning, on singles by newcomer LF Brandon Jones and C Kris Watts, an RBI force out by RF Anthony Norman, Morris reaching base on a wild pitch for strike three, and a huge triple by SS Chase d'Arnaud. They scored again in the 3rd on 1B Matt Hague's 2-run homer after 3B Josh Harrison was hit by a pitch. �Harrison also doubled in the 7th and scored on Mercer's RBI single. �So, the Curve thought things were going just fine.
Then the bottom of the 9th. �Diego Moreno came on to relieve Dubee. �He gave up a walk, then a wild pitch put that runner on second base. �After a strikeout, a single and a 3-run homer brought the score to 6-4. �Another walk and a single, and Moreno was relieved by Jeff Sues. Sues struck out the first batter he faced, then gave up an RBI single and a walk. �Now the tying run was on first base, and the winning run was coming to the plate. �Mets' SS Luis Hernandez doubled into left field, scoring two runs to give the Mets the win.
Brandon Jones, who was removed from the Indianapolis Indians' roster when Aki Iwamura was assigned to Indianapolis, was sent to the Curve "on paper" last week. �Now he's there in body too. �Righty reliever Ramon Aguero, who has had an elbow injury, was promoted to the Curve from the Bradenton Marauders. �INF James Skelton was sent to Bradenton to make space on the roster.
Jakubauskas Makes Rehab Start; Sanchez's Jaw Broken
Tuesday's action in the Pirates' lower minor league organization
GCL Yankees �11, �GCL Pirates �4 (box)
Chris Jakubauskas, who suffered a concussion while pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates back in April, made his first appearance in a real game today, with the GCL Pirates. �He pitched 3 innings, and suffered the loss as he gave up 4 runs on 6 hits and a walk. �He did strike out 5 batters. �Jakubauskas retired the Yankees in order in the 1st inning, then gave up a run on a triple and a sacrifice fly in the 2nd. �He allowed a lone walk in the 3rd inning, but began the 4th with a single, a double, and a 3-run homer, followed by another single.
Joan Montero finished the 4th for Jakubauskas, then gave up a run on a single, a wild pitch, and four walks in the 5th. �Dovydas Neverauskas completed the 5th, and gave up 2 runs in the 6th, ona double, a walk, and a 2-RBI single. �The Yankees scored 4 runs in the 8th, though only one was earned. �The inning began with a throwing error b 2B Luis Solano, then a double and a single both brought in a run. �Another fielding error and two more singles gave the Yankees a total of 11 runs. �Rinku Singh pitched a scoreless 9th inning for the Pirates, allowing a single and a walk, then getting a line-out into a double play before ending the inning with a strikeout.
The Pirates' bats could not keep up with the Yankees. �They scored one run in the 2nd, when C Elias Diaz led off with a double, was sacrifice bunted to third, and scored on a fielder's choice by Solano. �The Pirates added a run in the 4th. �RF Gregory Polanco led off with a single up the middle. �A grounder by LF Exicardo Cayonez forced Polanco out at second but left Cayonez at first. �Cayonez stole second base and advanced to third on a throwing error by the Yankees' catcher. �He scored on a wild pitch. �Another error contributed to the Pirates' run in the 6th. �SS Kevin Mort singled and 3B Eric Avila and Diaz both walked. �The fielding error on Solano's ball to short allowed Mort to score. �Polanco scored the Pirates' final run in the 8th, when he doubled, moved to third on a ground out, and scored on Cayonez's RBI single.

12 Days of Winter Veil Giveaway: Dragon Kite from WootLoots.com {WoW}
Dec 18th 2011 4:21PM I love this pet. This whole giveaway thing has been pretty fun to see (even if you don't win, it's like window shopping). Thank you for doing it. :)
Patch 4.3 PTR: Inactive guild leader replacement {WoW}
Sep 30th 2011 3:49PM Just like Duskhawk said (as a fellow altoholic GM), when I switch main characters I just end up making my primary character the GM. It's annoying to not be able to fix ranks or permissions on the character you're playing all the time. Plus, you miss out on the opportunity to demote people to whatever comedic rank your guild favours!
Seriously though, it's good for a guild to "know" who the guild leader is, and a dormant guild leader (even if it's just an inactive characters) sends a subtle message. So even if you are a GL and playing all the time, it can be odd to never have the "guild leader" online.
Patch 4.3 PTR: Inactive guild leader replacement {WoW}
Sep 30th 2011 3:46PM So it seems that this system will work as intended for both altoholic AND alcoholic GMs (as asked above)!
Breakfast Topic: Do you blog about WoW? {WoW}
Sep 16th 2011 2:12PM I do blog about WoW. First, my silly paladin pugging stories that I later converted to Manalicious: http://manalicious.wordpress.com. I've been blogging almost two years now, and it's been a really fun experience. I end up writing about guild leading, news, raiding, mages and paladins (depending on what I'm playing) with some art stuff thrown in approximately weekly for good measure. I suppose it's an eclectic mix.
I did want to mention, since a few people have remarked that they sometimes want to write something but don't necessarily want to maintain a blog to do so - that in addition to the "Seed" program here on WoW Insider (which is limited to folks in the US, no love for us Canucks) most bloggers would also LOVE to get guest posts. It can be a nice way to ensure content, let someone dip their toes into blogging or say their peace on one particular topic, without needing the commitment of starting a blog themselves.
That said, if you find you often have things to say about WoW, start your own blog and make it known! I love finding new blogs to read. Blog Azeroth (http://www.blogazeroth.com/) is a great place for new bloggers to announce themselves, meet, and participate in things like shared blogging topics.

The Light and How to Swing It: Retribution in the Firelands, part 1 {WoW}
Aug 31st 2011 2:47PM Hooray! This column (and others you have written) have been just what I need to help me not noob it up too much when I have to go ret instead of holy. I'm looking forward to more! The one about ditching CLCret alone was a godsend (and my DPS went up, too). You see what I did there? It's a paladin joke. Er...Never mind.

Aug 24th 2011 12:24PM Good luck getting your last few pets! When a friend got her Celestial Dragon, she said that her husband told her it looks like a sperm when it flies alongside her dragon. I got mine just yesterday, and he's kind of right, but by god I earned that sperm and I'm proud.
The Daily Quest: Have you ever wondered ...? {WoW}
Jul 26th 2011 4:26AM I definitely would have liked it if they'd made provisions for this in the feature. A CoT-like debuff would be ideal, although I suppose it makes absolutely no sense in terms of the "game reality," but then neither does people existing in different universes. I'd be okay with the suspension of disbelief if it meant I could run with Horde friends more easily!
Thanks for the link, Anne!
World of WarCrafts: The musical stylings of Ember Isolte {WoW}
Jul 21st 2011 10:23PM Shadowpriest is my fallback position, I'd really take either. They seem to be fairly equally rare, though. (p.s. melted boomkin ewwww).
World of WarCrafts: The musical stylings of Ember Isolte {WoW}
Jul 21st 2011 3:38PM I've always enjoyed Ember's parodies, she has so much talent. (In particular, I liked the Exodar Disco collaboration with Greyfoo but they're all quite good).
The moonkin song, unfortunately, just drives home the fact that I cannot find a moonkin for my raid group to save my life. It's as if they are an endangered species. I'll have to play that song in celebration if/when we ever track one down.

ngraham, The iris in the last picture aare very unusual. I have bought a few odd ones, and some I really like and some not so much. How about you? kay |
Kay, I tend to like odd iris, although not so much the bottom iris in the last picture, Wild Lad. I'm not much on the "brown" iris, even though I have a couple. I have Thornbird, I like the form but just don't care for the color. Don't like green iris either, I have a couple of those. Sometimes you just can't tell by pictures though. I have enough space that I keep them for now. If I start whittling them down, these will be the 1st to go. Well, actually, probably the oldest heirloom types I have will go first. They may start this year, I just do not enjoy them & they multiply like mad. |
How great we can click on your pics and get 2 enlargements! I was really interested in Wild Lad and Silent Shadow. Some of the oddities I love and others .........................eh! |

Lovely blooms and the show is starting well for you. |
- Posted by organic_kitten 7 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 26, 11 at 18:52
ngraham, That top iris in the last picture is very intriguing to me. And that top one, Country Dance, I really like. Iris are so lovely when they bloom. I love that you are figuring out what has to go, since I am always doing that. There are a couple of them I need to mark so I can get New Ones! Duplicate or too close colors, or just not favorites Ha there's always another one Ive got to have! |
these colors are interesting - i like the multi color and the ruffles of the new iris but, too quote my third grade teacher, "everyone to their own taste said the lady as she kissed the cow." i do not know what this means or what it has to do with iris, just seemed appropriate mr toad |
- Posted by gardenunusual 5a (My Page) on Wed, Apr 27, 11 at 7:32
Breathtaking! |
So glad you are enjoying the pictures. I do love my iris, but then there are the daylilies. They are such perfect garden plants, when one finishes blooming, the other starts. |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6b/7a LI NY (My Page) on Wed, Apr 27, 11 at 13:03
Nancy, honestly that is why I got into the TB Iris myself. I tried all sorts of extra early daylilies and all I could get were yellow not very exciting flowers. I finially figured out that if I wanted blooms way before the daylily season normally started that I would have to forget about extra early daylilies and look elsewhere. So I got Iris and have been stunned by how beautiful they are. Love them. |
I hadn,t though about pairing them up with the daylilies. What a great idea. I bought a couple of knockout roses for that bed and now I think I will have to move a few daylilies over there as well. |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Wed, Apr 27, 11 at 17:02
Perfect combo- irises and daylilies. |
