The Honourable Bert Brown |
Member of the Senate of Canada | |

Personal details | |
Born | March 22, 1938 |
Political party | Conservative |
Religion | United [1] |
Bert Brown (born March 22, 1938) is a Canadian Senator and retired farmer and development consultant currently residing in Balzac, Alberta.
Contents |
Brown farmed in Kathyrn, Alberta and was a land development consultant. He attended Mount Royal College at the University of Oklahoma. He is married to Alice Lancaster (1965) and has a daughter, Angela Susan.
Brown is the only person to run in all of the first three of Alberta's senatorial elections. In 1989 and 2004 he ran for the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party, and in 1998 he ran for the Reform Party of Alberta. He was elected Senator in Waiting in 1998 and re-elected in 2004. Brown is the only person ever to be elected to a second term as Senator in waiting.
He has been campaigning for an elected Canadian Senate for over twenty years. He is national chair of the Canadian Committee for a Triple-E Senate, and has become the symbol for the cause. He has been mentioned in countless Hansard transcripts in legislatures across the country, as well as the federal Parliament and Senate.
He first gained fame for his cause, when he used his tractor to plow "Triple E Senate or else"[1] into his neighbour's barley field.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised to advise the Governor General to appoint Brown to the next available Senate seat from Alberta, according to comments made in the House of Commons April 18, 2007. The announcement came after long serving senator Dan Hays, announced that he intended to vacate his seat in the Senate at the end of June 2007.[2]
Brown was appointed to the Canadian Senate on July 10, 2007.[3] He will serve six years until mandatory retirement.
Brown became the second person in Canadian history, after Stan Waters, to be appointed to his Senate seat following a provincial senator in waiting election. Brown chose to sit with the Conservative Party of Canada caucus (federal party) though he ran under the Progressive Conservative banner(provincial party counterpart) in the Alberta Senate election.
In 2005, Brown was a recipient of the Alberta Centennial Medal. The award was given to notable Albertans who have made a lasting contribution in the province over the past 100 years.[4]
Brown does not acknowledge the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change identifying himself as a denier.[5]

Shampoo gets a Red String of Fate from a travelling Tibetean salesman, who says if she ties it to her and the one she loves' pinky, they will become true lovers.
Shampoo fails initially, but succeeds when she bribes him with free food from her cafe for a week. Ranma instantly falls in love with her, even so far as to tell Soun to cancel his engagement with Akane. Akane is left dejected and furious over the matter.
however, over supper, Nabiki and Kasumi notice something usual with Ranma's behavior, and notice the Red String, which Shampoo belittles as a charm.
Ukyo is told by Nabiki about the Red string, and decides to go cut it herself. she is also overhead by Sasuke, who goes off to tell Kodachi. As Ukyo runs off, she is joined by a jealous Mousse and Kodachi. they get stopped by Tatewaki, who guards the two. however, he gets defeated by Ukyo, Kodachi and Mousse teaming up.
Akane, still upset about the ordeal, receives an invitation to Ranma and Shampoo's wedding. she is also told by Nabiki that Ranma is under a spell of the Red String, and Soun tells her to cut it, giving her a scissors. however, she is reluctant, resorting to P-Chan snatching the scissors and running off with it, transforming back into Ryoga.
at the Church, Shampoo is being dressed in her wedding gown, which originally belonged to Cologne. however, Ukyo and Mousse enter, and try to stop them. Shampoo splashes mousse into a duck, but Ukyo, after pretending to give up, throws her spatula to cut the thread, freeing Ranma from the spell.
However, Tatekawi appears and reties the string, putting Ranma under control again, and despite Kodachi appearing to fight back, Tatekawi defeats her, and tells Ranma to run. when they are intercepted by Ryoga, who cuts off the string completely from Ranma. he picks it up, but Shampoo convinces him to give it back, saying that Akane would belong to him.
Akane eventually decides to rescue Ranma, after her guilt and jealousy gets the better of her, with her imagining them as a perfect couple, only due to the string. Ukyo, at the Church entrance, tries to enter, but is barred by Cologne.
Akane makes her way in with less than a minute left, and makes her way to the front. she offers a bouquet to Shampoo, only for her to throw it up, revealing a scissors, cutting the string just before it disappears, freeing Ranma from the spell. They manage to escape just after Tatekawi, Kodachi, Mousse and Ukyo burst through the door, charging after Ranma.

S. W. Alexander
Stanley Walter Alexander (16 November 1895 – 23 March 1980) was a British journalist and political activist.
Early life[edit]
During the First World War, Alexander served as a Sergeant Major in the Canadian Princess Pat's Light Infantry, as he was unable to join the British forces as his height was only 5'1". He was made a Member of the British Empire in 1918 (investiture 15 November 1919), and in 1919 married Doris Emily Kibble, whom he had met in the offices of Lord Beaverbrook. They had two sons, Andrew and Colin.
Journalism and politics[edit]
He was a journalist for the Beaverbrook press, being City Editor of the Sunday Express, Daily Express and Evening Standard. From 1948 he was editor of the City Press newspaper. He was instrumental in founding the Society for Individual Freedom and Oliver Smedley described himself and Alexander as "the only active free-traders left in England in the 1950s". He debated at the Cambridge Union with Lord Longford over the Beveridge Report in January 1943. He stood in the 1945 general election as an Independent Free Trade candidate (coming fourth) for City of London. He stood in the 1950 general election for the Liberal Party (coming third) for Ilford North. He was also chairman of the London Liberal Party.[1] He was also against British membership of the Common Market.
Political views[edit]
Alexander was a believer in free trade, writing letters to The Times on this and other economic subjects. He believed that the abandonment of free trade in 1917 began "the lowering of the standard of life by stopping goods reaching people" and that it was responsible for "the closed market behind which monopolies and price rings of labour and capital have grown up".[2]
He argued for the restoration of free trade "regardless of what other nations may do" and asked: "...does the housewife improve her position by buying the poorest quality goods at the highest price or not? The future of the pound is inextricably bound up with this question of restoring to the people the right to buy in the cheapest market".[3]
Alexander opposed collectivism and socialism and argued for more units of industry to combat them: "Over a period of 40 years the policy of "protection" has concentrated industry in fewer hands and helped to create monopolies which in turn has encouraged the Socialists to believe that the way to deal with monopolies is for the State to take them over...a policy of free trade...will provide the conditions under which more units will grow up...With more units we shall also get a larger number of responsible individuals with political independence".[4]
Alexander believed that protectionism, by fostering monopolies and nationalisation, would (if not reversed) lead to a totalitarian state: "Free Trade is a great safeguard for all the other liberties of the people and it can play a most valuable part in promoting good will among the peoples and world peace".[5]
He contended that the best argument for foreign investment was "the natural right of Englishmen to do what they think is to the best advantage with their own money. Where responsibility for profit or loss resides with the individual there will the best results of investment be achieved".[6]
"Protectionism", Alexander wrote, "is akin to socialism and no free enterprise political party in an island nation dependent for its life on international trading should ever have had anything to do with it...capital and labour need a return to the natural disciplines...[these] can only be restored as a result of a balanced national budget, a limitation on the volume of circulating paper money of all kinds, and the abandonment of import restrictions and duties so that all home production in cost and quality is constantly challenged by the alternative of the product from overseas".[7]
On imports, he argued against Sir Roy Harrod's proposals for protectionism: "Excessive imports arise as a result of an excessive volume of purchasing power introduced into the community as a result of excessive Government spending. That is the basic cause of the trouble. That is where the remedy should begin...The answer to the problem is not to impose import restrictions but to completely free imports and so conduct our internal affairs as to balance budgets, provide for the repayment of debt and thereby automatically limit the ability to pay for imports as near as possible to those imports that can be most profitably used".[8]
Alexander also advocated abolishing all exchange controls so that "individuals could freely carry on their business and even use their automatically reduced resources even to resume their profitable overseas investment which has stood our people in good stead in two world wars. The need is to create the conditions of freedom in which new wealth can be accumulated".[9]
He argued against Sir Alec Douglas-Home's view that going into the Common Market would provide a larger market for British industry: "The greatest handicap to British industry is not that we have not a sufficiently large market but that owing to the protectionist policy now pursued for 50 years our people are not allowed to buy raw materials and goods from the cheapest market. And, if we cannot buy cheaply we cannot produce competitively. That has been the primary cause of our country's decline in its share of world trade and shipping...Entry into Europe would I believe be but an extension of that protectionism which has already done immense damage to our country".[10]

I'm now much more sympathetic to the '99 per cent' analysis. First, a closer look at income growth figures suggests that, while the 19 per cent have enjoyed rising incomes, they've only barely maintained their share of national income. The redistribution of the past three decades has gone from the bottom 80 per cent to the top 1 per cent.
That suggests the possibility of a policy response in which the main redistributive thrust would be to reverse this process. This would almost certainly involve higher tax payments, but this would be offset by the restoration of public services, which are in economic terms a 'superior good', valued more as income rises. The top 1 per cent can buy their own services, and are largely unaffected by public sector cutbacks, but that's not true of the 19 per cent.
Another important factor is the growth of economic insecurity. The myth of the US as a land of opportunity for upward mobility has been replaced by Barbara Ehrenreich's Fear of Falling (another good source on this is High Wire by Peter Gosselin). Even if people in the top 19 per cent are doing well, they are less secure than at any time since the 1930s, and their children face even more uncertain prospects.

14 OctObama Jobs Speech Changes Conversation | The Nation
9 SepThe introduction of the "American Jobs Act" was both a policy and rhetorical shift from the administration, away from the above the fray "most reasonable man in the room" strategy aimed at a narrow sliver of independent voters and toward a more aggressive, feistier Obama, one who is not afraid to run against the do-nothing Congress, take his case directly to the American people and ruffle a few feathers. It's the Obama, quite frankly, that many of his supporters have been waiting quite some time to see.
Quoted from the speech:
But what we can't do—what I won't do—is let this economic crisis be used as an excuse to wipe out the basic protections that Americans have counted on for decades. I reject the idea that we need to ask people to choose between their jobs and their safety. I reject the argument that says for the economy to grow, we have to roll back protections that ban hidden fees by credit card companies, or rules that keep our kids from being exposed to mercury, or laws that prevent the health insurance industry from shortchanging patients. I reject the idea that we have to strip away collective bargaining rights to compete in a global economy. We shouldn't be in a race to the bottom, where we try to offer the cheapest labor and the worst pollution standards. America should be in a race to the top. And I believe that's a race we can win.

Conservatives rely on the government all the time, most importantly in structuring the market in ways that ensure that income flows upwards. The framing that conservatives like the market while liberals like the government puts liberals in the position of seeming to want to tax the winners to help the losers.
This "loser liberalism" is bad policy and horrible politics. Progressives would be better off fighting battles over the structure of markets so that they don't redistribute income upward. This book describes some of the key areas where progressives can focus their efforts in restructuring market so that more income flows to the bulk of the working population rather than just a small elite.

What is Debt? – An Interview with Economic Anthropologist David Graeber « naked capitalism
31 AugTell this to the Republicrats:
In fact, the first recorded word for 'freedom' in any human language is the Sumerian amargi, a word for debt-freedom, and by extension freedom more generally, which literally means 'return to mother,' since when they declared a clean slate, all the debt peons would get to go home.
Is 'wage slavery' a mere metaphor? Perhaps not. Read the following paragraphs (I bolded the last one, the 'money graph, as it were):
What's been happening since Nixon went off the gold standard in 1971 has just been another turn of the wheel – though of course it never happens the same way twice. However, in one sense, I think we've been going about things backwards. In the past, periods dominated by virtual credit money have also been periods where there have been social protections for debtors. Once you recognize that money is just a social construct, a credit, an IOU, then first of all what is to stop people from generating it endlessly? And how do you prevent the poor from falling into debt traps and becoming effectively enslaved to the rich? That's why you had Mesopotamian clean slates, Biblical Jubilees, Medieval laws against usury in both Christianity and Islam and so on and so forth.
Since antiquity the worst-case scenario that everyone felt would lead to total social breakdown was a major debt crisis; ordinary people would become so indebted to the top one or two percent of the population that they would start selling family members into slavery, or eventually, even themselves.
Well, what happened this time around? Instead of creating some sort of overarching institution to protect debtors, they create these grandiose, world-scale institutions like the IMF or S&P to protect creditors. They essentially declare (in defiance of all traditional economic logic) that no debtor should ever be allowed to default. Needless to say the result is catastrophic. We are experiencing something that to me, at least, looks exactly like what the ancients were most afraid of: a population of debtors skating at the edge of disaster.
And, I might add, if Aristotle were around today, I very much doubt he would think that the distinction between renting yourself or members of your family out to work and selling yourself or members of your family to work was more than a legal nicety. He'd probably conclude that most Americans were, for all intents and purposes, slaves.

A Cooperative Economy: The Time Is Now | Common Dreams
26 AugThis is a perfect time for a cooperative economy. Considering the disproportionate struggles faced by women and people of color during a recession, the cooperative economy presents an opportunity for all people, to leverage more power by making themselves the bosses, sharing ownership, and taking a collective approach to good management. Many people have already been let down by a top-down corporate or non-profit model in a recession-ridden society. Now is the time to rebuild the system, and build a society founded on justice, dignity, and respect for people and the planet.
How Much Tax Should The Rich Pay? | ThinkProgress
22 AugClose the loopholes in the tax system!
But the biggest takeaway that I'd like to see people take from this paper is that fans of progressive taxation should be fans of tax reform. As you see in the text, the optimal marginal tax rate for high income people soars if you first (or simultaneously) enact loophole-closing measures to broaden the tax base. In a tax code with many loopholes, higher rates is largely an incentive to exploit loopholes. Close the loopholes, and you can soak the rich with much more efficacy.

I had average acne through my teenage years but developed annoying cystic acne around 18 or 19 and have been battling with it until now (I'm 21). I would get clusters of painful lumps that would take months to go away and usually a new one every other day or so. I'm a picker, unfortunately, so I would pick at them until they would pop, leaving red marks all over my face. I began doing research about 1 1/2 years ago when I decided that topical treatment and taking good care of my face was not working like it did for other people. At first I tried taking fish oil and vitamin E- didn't help. Then I tried eliminating gluten- didn't help. Then I tried eliminating dairy- sped up the healing process for a couple "active" cysts, but after that it didn't help. At one point I was completely gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, and taking licorice root to heal my gut (all of this from reading things on the internet about what helped other people). FINALLY, I came across zinc deficiency. I read that taking zinc pills had helped other people with cystic acne, as well as taking pantothenic acid. I have only been taking those two pills (in addition to a multi, fish oil, licorice root, and vit E) and my face has CLEARED in a week. I still have the scars of course, but they are healing nicely. I have not had any new cysts since I started taking these pills! I'm still a little bit in the doubting state, but looks don't lie! I can't remember the last time my face was this clear!
Bottom line, if you've tried everything that has worked for other people with cystic acne and you're still not seeing results, you most likely have a zinc deficiency. Other symptoms I had for this were hangnails and white marks on my nails, but there are other symptoms.
*I take Now brand 500mg Pantothenic acid and Nature's Life brand 30mg zinc picolinate + 2mg copper in addition to taking good care of my face (exfoliating scrub, ACV toner, and coconut oil).
Oh, by the way, the reason I figured out elimination dieting didn't work and zinc pills did was because this past week I have eaten HORRIBLY (sugar, frozen dinners, lots of wheat, lots of dairy, and more sugar) while taking the pills and not only did my face not break out, but it was actually healing while eating all that.
i started taking zinc (25 mg chelated,once daily) because i saw positive results from ppl, but after using it for 1 month i havent seen any improvments on my acne. i'll try for few more months ,can't lose anything..
My sons started taking 50 mg Zinc due to the good reviews. At first it seemed to help with redness in their skin and seemed to diminish red marks. However, over time they were getting more new pimples, both inflamed and under-skin bumps. So not only was the zinc not helping but it seemed to be worsening their acne. I think zinc actually increases testosterone so if you are a teenage male it probably won't work for you. My sons stopped taking it after a month.
I was taking this while changing too many other things around; hard to tell whether certain effects were due to the zinc or not.
I have been taking 50mg of Zinc Gluconate for around 3 weeks now, and my experience has been inconclusive. After a few days of taking zinc my skin completely cleared up for a few days only to return to normal. While zinc hasn't seemed to prevent new acne for me, it does heal acne much faster than normal and it does at least prevent large cysts from forming. So, while I am not happy that the results I have seen as a whole, I would still suspect someone with less severe acne would see good or even great results.
I have been taking a zinc supplement for about 2 months now and my skin is getting a lot better. Less redness and irritation. And less pimples overall. Still getting some pimples so I'm not completely cured, but it definitely helps. I will keep taking.
I've struggled with different levels of acne since I was in 6th grade and I'm in my 3rd year of college now... it was never really bad until the past two years. It started to develop from typical mild acne which was kinda controlled with 10% bp or Proactiv. These past two years, I started struggling with deep cystic acne, it spread around my checks and chin area. It seems like it would come and go in cycles, but I've always been struggling with very heavy hyper-pigmentation and scarring (even if i didn't touch it!!!!). This last year I was put on doxycycline with really cleared up my skin but came back after a few months. In the summer I tried another antibiotic which didn't seem to be as effective. I've tried all, so many that I can't even remember them all...ziana, clyndamiacin, clynda-gel, tretinoin creams, different box kits, proactive, lots of creams that never seemed to be the 'one'.
I've recently gotten more into holistic medicine and I somehow stumbled across zinc. What I read on these reviews changed everything... I LITERALLY made my account to review zinc. It is really working!
I started taking zinc two days after Christmas and it's now half-way through january. The zinc really started to clear up my skin within a few days. About a week into the zinc I started to take a b-vitamin complex. I started breaking out severely, very painful cystic acne. There was nothing else new in my diet and no new products, so I stopped the b vitamins and continued the zinc. Within 3 days, it was all calm again. The zinc was really working. Since then I've had one tiny new active spot ( same day as my period- go figure) but I've been waking up with no new active spots and my scars are slowly fading. I've only been using the clyndagel with it since its winter and the tretinoin has been too harsh. Some spots on my skin have been extremely dry, but that could be from the harsh winter this year. The dry skin wouldn't stop me from taking the zinc. It's also started to clear up the last of the acne on my back which the birth control had mostly cleared up. (I've been taking this birth control for close to 6 months and never really helped my face too much).
I do have to take the zinc on a full stomach- I usually take it with dinner otherwise I will get really nauseous. But I seemed to only be really sensitive to it in the beginning. I've been taking 50 mg of zinc gluconate (just regular vitamin store brand, nothing special!) and I will continue to take it!! FYI, i also suffer easily from headaches and have not noticed an effect on the headaches by taking zinc. The b-vitamins definitely broke me out, but with zinc you have to maintain a copper balance, so I started taking a regular multi-vitamin for her from Nature's Made with no ill effect. Best of luck, try the zinc!!!!!
i was tired of doing 3 step topical treatments twice a day. i guess im kind of lazy. lol and i also really wanted to get rid of my acne from the inside out because i have back acne too and im embarrassed to wear anything sleeveless. i take prescription meds (not for acne) in the AM and PM so i just put the zinc pills in each daily slot of my pill organizer so i never forget to take them. i really didnt think it would work cause my acne is STUBBORN but after about 5-7 days no big pimples showed up, my old acne started going away, and ive only gotten like 2-3 new small pimples instead of the usual 10ish new pimples after a period of 5-7 days. my complexion even looks different somehow. in a good way of coarse. ive been taking 100mgs of nature valleys zinc everyday. cheap stuff you can get at freakin walmart. 50mgs in the morning and 50mgs at night i doubled the dose that the directions said since im using it specifically for acne and not as an every day health supplement. i can only imagine it getting better from here! i just cant believe its working after just a week! if i can keep forcing myself to do a three step acne system at least once a day, preferably at night because sleeping right after treating my skin makes the results to be alot better in the morning, then combining the two will hopefully clear up my skin 80%-90% in a couple weeks. im even considering adding another 50mg zinc pill to see if it will work faster/better. im just so excited that my complexion is clearing up so fast! i just hope this doesnt backfire on me. i recommend this to EVERYONE! if it doesnt work for you then you should just continue to take the zinc till the bottle is empty cause zinc is good for you anyways.
oh and the reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it does cause a tad bit of nausea if you dont take it with a good amount of food in your stomach.
For starters, I take 50mg of Chelated Zinc Gluconate from Nature's Bounty. It's one small pill a day that I take after dinner with some coffee, and I've not experienced any of the negative side effects that other's have mentioned. I'm also 17, female, and have dealt with acne since I was about 9 - I believe because of an estrogen surplus. I've tried almost every topical on the market - perscription or otherwise, but my family couldn't afford to visit a proper dermetologist until recently, nevermind a perscription for accutane. (And to be honest, I'd take zits over any of the potential side effects any day.) Also, my mother refused to even consider birth control. It just isn't an option in my family.
I've been taking Zinc in this dose for about 8 days now and...low and behold, no new acne. I don't really believe it. I'm sure I sound like a cheesy infomercial but guys, it's actually kind of legit, and it's probably one of the easiest things you can try before heading off to a dermetologist and letting them pump chemicals and silicons onto your face. I used to get these nasty cysts around my mouth and chin, and huge whiteheads right on my lip that looked like cold sores. I have bangs too, so my forehead would get really greasy by 12 o'clock, even in winter. Now my skin is neither dry nor oily, just...normal. I've NEVER had normal skin - you can imagine my excitement.
THAT BEING SAID, my skin hasn't just magically become clear overnight, guys. My face is still riddled with old hyperpigmentation marks and scars, and there's still the occasional bump where blackheads are resting or where I suffered the worst breakouts and the skin is rebelling, but there's no new active pimples or pustles to be found anywhere on my face. I haven't had a single whitehead since the first 3 or so days I started taking zinc (and those were small and disappeared in a day or two,) and the redness in my face is going away now that I've begun using an astringent and moisturizor again. I don't want to let myself hope, since so many things have failed me before, but for the first time since I can remember, my skin is actually kind of smooth. It's freaking me out, lol.
With the brand I'm using, you get 100 pills, or a three month-ish supply if you only take one per day. I took pictures and plan on updating in another 3 weeks, and then again each month until I'm out. Hopefully, I'll still have good news to report. ^-^
Hey guys,
I made an account specifically for this. It works wonders, literally. I've had acne since about 16. I would rate it mild, but at times I would get 4-5 flare ups at once along with acne that's been active. So that made me go from Proactiv, to Doxycycline (which worked for about 3 months) to experimenting with various foods. I came across someone's blog where they praised the "vitamin" cure. Basically, what they did was take Zinc, Vit A, Vit D, & fish oil. Also, the water intake was bumped way high! Think about the amount you drink now & multiple it by at least 4. So, I had nothing to lose and I went ahead and tried it! Boy... Best decision I have ever made in my life! Within days, my skin started to clear up. It was less oily, the active acne was clearing up, & to my surprise no new acne was forming. So I've been on this for about 2 weeks now and it really did the trick. My skin is slowly but surely becoming more clear, there is no active acne (except one small pimple), absolutely oil less. The only downfall is during the first week my acne scars seemed to have been more visible, but that's over with. I drink a bunch of water, probably around a gallon a day since I'm a 200 lbs 6'2 male. Also, go research Borage oil. I hear that it is a lost secret that truly keeps the skin vibrant, & aids in fading acne scars when applied topically & works from the inside out to clear acne. I actually already ordered a bottle so I'll be back to let you guys know how that goes. Alright guys, give vitamins a try! Just make sure you take the right amount.

Trends that define architecture also define this curatorial catchall of a show - and define women in the field. Women alone, paralleling smaller firms everywhere, have mixed jobs: Megan Lawrence in partnership with her husband has designed everything from offices and residences to a blimp hangar in New Jersey to mark the spot where the Hindenberg went down.
Unquestionably, in the show and in the field, such husband-wife teams fare better for women. A joint practice allows the luxury of child-rearing without permanent retirement. An architect for 20 years, Barbara Neski maintained her skills at home and returned to a shared practice.
She, like most women architects, recalls a decade of change for the good. ''It used to be that clients would discuss everything about the house with my husband,'' the architect recalls. ''Then it came time for the kitchen and they talked to me.'' Now clients and construction crews respond to her professionally.
Younger women in the AWA still feel they have the harder route, nonetheless. Although some schools (Columbia, Cooper Union) may count 40 or 50 percent female students, others don't (Harvard has only 10 percent, chosen from 10 percent female applicants, however). Meanwhile, women account for only 1.9 percent of the nation's registered architects, and bias remains.
Interviewed for a job in the late 1970s, Nancy Vigneau found the familiar refrain. ''They just think you're doing it for a hobby. The first question is: 'When are you getting married?' '' That's her description of the inquiry from one of the largest firms in Hartford, Conn. After two years, it finally said, ''You're not getting married.''
Nonetheless, most AWA members report progress. If their exhibition underscores variety vs. achievement, founder Regi Goldberg asks for forbearance: ''Women are just proving themselves,'' she says, citing the organization's starting goals: places in universities; visibility in the press and architecture community; encouragement to register as an official architect; and support in opening their own practices. In 1973, 80 percent of male architects took the final step (registration) and only 20 percent of the women, she says. Today women have reached 60 percent.

A 'Gathering' roadshow is under way in Britain this week, led by Minister of State for Tourism and Sport Michael Ring. This follows very successful visits by Minister Ring to Manchester and Glasgow earlier this year. Phase two of the roadshow sees Minister Ring meet with Irish communities and business networks in Birmingham and Leeds this week, to tell them all about 'The Gathering Ireland 2013'.
At networking events in both cities, hosted by Tourism Ireland, Minister Ring is urging the Irish in Britain to come home next year or to encourage their extensive networks of family, friends and business colleagues to organise their own 'Gatherings' here in Ireland during 2013. Minister Ring is also briefing representatives of the GB media and giving a number of broadcast and print media interviews.
Minister Ring said: "I am asking people with Irish connections in Leeds, Birmingham and across the UK to get involved in 'The Gathering Ireland 2013' and play a part in Ireland's renewal and recovery. But you don't have to be Irish to come – everyone is welcome.
"Gatherings are already being planned by the Irish Community overseas, including family reunions, clan gatherings and corporate events. I would ask people to take a look at thegatheringireland.com website and see how they can get involved. There may be an event they would like to travel over for or there could be something they could organise themselves."
Niall Gibbons, chief executive of Tourism Ireland, said: "Millions of people in GB have family links with Ireland and this week Minister Ring is helping us to reach out to those people, to encourage them to come home in 2013 for what promises to be a truly special year. Tourism Ireland is undertaking an extensive programme of promotional activity across Britain, North America, Australia and New Zealand and other markets this autumn, to highlight 'The Gathering' and appeal to the tens of millions across the world who claim Irish ancestry, as well as to all the others who feel linked to Ireland by friendship, business, education, interest or affinity." Minister Michael Ring; Mike Lambden and John Gilbert, both National Express (coach network); Vanessa Markey, Tourism Ireland; and Martin Mullaney, former councillor with Birmingham City Council, at a networking event in Birmingham for 'The Gathering Ireland 2013'.

Preceding his retirement, Professor Janecke investigated a wide range nuclear structure phenomena. Recent emphasis was on collective excitations of the nuclear many-body system using charge-exchange reactions with implications for nucleo-synthesis calculations. Accelerator experiments were performed at numerous accelerator facilities in the United States, in the Netherlands, and in Japan. After retirement, Professor Janecke became again involved in theoretical projects related to nuclear masses and binding energies.

Exped Synmat Sleeping Mat with Integrated Pump - The SynMats offer comfort, low weight and compact packed size. The weight to warmth ratio is far superior to standard foam filled sleeping mats.
Exped Synmat Sleeping Mat with Integrated Pump - Light and warm, the Synmat has a heat resistance value (R-value) of 4.9. At about the same weight a standard 2.5 cm self inflating mat only offers a R-value of 2.5. Tests demonstrated that regular mats lose 3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The conclusion is that a warmer mat is more important than a warmer sleeping bag. Made from laminated polyester fabric that's both durable, airtight and humidity resistant. The shell?s top surface is of brushed polyester fabric that provides excellent slip resistance and comfort next to the skin. The seams are high frequency welded for durability. The integrated pump ensures swift and intuitive inflation of the mat. Use both hands to inflate the mat within a minute. The flat deflation valve with one way flap is quick and effective. The synthetic microfiber filling is laminated to both upper and lower sides of the mat which eliminates the loss of loft common to synthetic filled sleeping bags. Included: repair kit with adhesive and fabric patches.

Seeing as how my dogs ate this item before I could get it out of the package, I'm giving it 5 stars for flavor. I ordered a second one because the leftover pieces I found seemed to be of good quality for the price.
Nice thin rug pad that holds the rug in place on my slick wood floors!
good rug pad -- price was also good. Would buy again.
These no-slip pads do the job. I have them under 2 rugs on hardwood floors. I laid the rugs down first without the pads and as expected they moved around. Once I put the pads down... no-slip. Great low price on overstock! A must purchase for any new rugs.
Very nice rug mat. I have had no problems pad or the rug moving. Great pad for the price. Glad I bought it.
fits perfectly and works well
Fast delivery for pad ordered at same time as rug. Easy to trim to size. No slipping. Ordered same type in larger size for another rug.
It prevents the rug from slipping or sliding. Does exactly what it supposed to. I would recommend this product.
Great product. Great value. Keeps the rug from sliding. I would recommend this pad.
Decent rug pad. Prevents slipping and was easy to place.

I want to be
In love with someone
And watch the light
Dance on the tips of her skin.
Like the sea,
I'll be the ebb,
And she'll be the flow
Moving together in perfect rhythm .
I want that feeling
Of confusing, alternating, maddening
Love to fill me from within
And to know how it feels,
To hear the words

Gwinnett Daily Post
North Gwinnett quarterback Michael Tamburo was scrambling away from the Peachtree Ridge pass rush last Friday when his favorite receiver, Tyler Jarry, worked his way back toward the line of scrimmage to help out.
Suddenly, Jarry turned and bolted away from Tamburo. The QB then lofted a pass to his fellow junior, who was now behind the defense, and the result was a 56-yard gain to the 1-yard line. The play set up unbeaten North's first touchdown in a 31-19 win over defending Class AAAAA co-champion Peachtree Ridge. It also was the perfect example of how important Jarry is to the Bulldogs, now No. 1 in AAAAA, and how good the chemistry is between him and Gwinnett's top returning quarterback. "I told (Tamburo) that it was important to spread the ball around to the five skill positions and he's done a great job of that," North head coach Bob Sphire said. "Tyler's taken advantage of his opportunities and turned them into big plays." Jarry has developed into a big-time playmaker in North's spread offense, spending half his time as a slot receiver and the other half at running back. He had 15 rushes for 61 yards and the game-clinching TD against Peachtree Ridge along with catching three passes for 70 yards. His most important catch, the 56-yard hook-up with Tamburo, was attributed to the regular passing sessions the two had in the offseason. "I think it was the offseason work (on that play)," Jarry said. "I think so because that play was strictly just scramble drill, him trusting me to get open and me trusting him to find me. I knew he was going to find me and I believe it was a product of our throwing in the summer." Jarry has emerged as one of the county's most exciting offensive players, whether he gets the ball in the passing or rushing attack. He has a team-best 30 catches for 347 yards and five touchdowns, but also has rushed 68 times for 403 yards and eight more scores. It's that versatility that makes Jarry an ideal fit for North's offense. "He's a really talented, athletic young man," Sphire said. "He's maybe the fastest kid on the team. ... He's No. 1 in our weight room with vertical jump. He's got speed, athletic ability. He's very explosive as an athlete. But he's a very skilled football player, too. "His performance has been critical to us because I think we've been real inconsistent on offense. We haven't played a 48-minute game on offense. But we've had some spots where we've made big plays and he's been a big part of that." Jarry has enjoyed the spread offense, calling his role the "perfect position" for him. The hybrid wideout/running back position allows him to carry the ball, but also gets him heavily involved as a slot receiver, the position he said he likely will play at the next level. The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder hasn't started considering colleges yet, but said his first letter came from Princeton football. Off the field, he maintains a 3.8 GPA, so an Ivy League school might be a possibility. But right now all he's worried about is his junior season at North. He's part of a young group of Bulldog skill players that, coupled with a veteran defense, should make the team a formidable force in the state playoffs. "I really want to win a region title first," said Jarry, whose team tests its new No. 1 ranking Friday when it hosts South Forsyth. "Before we do anything else, I'd like to do that. I don't know the last time North has done that. After that, we just want to get to the playoffs and see what we can do. "Like every team, we want to get to the state championship and win it."

Phone Hacking: Duchess And 17 Others Settle
The Duchess of York is among the latest phone hacking victims to reach settlements with News Group Newspapers.
The company, which published the now-defunct News Of The World, has agreed to pay a further 17 people including Sarah Ferguson, whose voicemail messages were repeatedly intercepted by journalists.
Actors Hugh Grant and Christopher Ecclestone, singers James Blunt and Kerry Katona and self-proclaimed mystifier Uri Geller will also receive undisclosed settlements.
Mr Grant, a prominent member of Hacked Off, which is campaigning for the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry into press practices to be implemented in full, announced in December he had agreed a "substantial sum".
Meanwhile, Colin Stagg, who was wrongly accused of murdering Rachel Nickell in 1992, will receive £15,500 from News Group Newspapers.
The value of his settlement was the only one made public at the High Court.

Sarah Palin was going to come, but flooding is keeping her at home, so husband Todd is taking her place. The list goes on and on. Some news organizations, mainly the TV networks, work really hard to snag the most glamorous or newsworthy guests.
News industry in financial free-fall? Indeed, some papers have cut back on the $200-a-pop tickets. But demand for the 2,000 tickets is unprecedented, the organizers say.
In another bow to the economy, the WHCA is giving away more scholarship money than ever, $130,000. It's also skipping dessert -- no chocolate mousse! -- and is instead making a donation of $23,000 to the organization So Others Might Eat, which helps the homeless.
Then there are the critics, who believe the dinner is all about inappropriate schmoozing between the media and the government figures they cover, and has turned into a grotesque display of slobbering over the beautiful and famous. Indeed, The New York Times doesn't come to this and other press dinners anymore.

Bad Times in Bordeaux, Good Times for Us
by Clive Irving
Forgive the Global Gourmet for taking pleasure from the distress of others. But when the others are the wine merchants of Bordeaux, the pleasure is, as they say, fruity with a satisfyingly dry aftertaste. Bordeaux wines, principally the reds, are a classic case of a self-deluding brand. In the best years, the great red wines (Petrus, Margaux, Haut-Brion) are peerless. But great years are intermittent and the prices suggest AIG bonus ranking: For example, a 1999 Margaux is currently "on sale" at $695 a bottle.
Last year was a particularly bad one in Bordeaux. The weather was unfriendly. The 2008 vintage will be released for expert tasting in April, and expectations are for a dud. This comes as London merchants, who traditionally pre-order Bordeaux wines in barrel before it is bottled, are sending earlier vintages, like 2002, back at a loss because the market for them is shrinking fast in the economic meltdown.
Maybe at last this will help to do two things. One, bring down prices more in line with real values. Two, lead to the admission that poor Bordeaux vintages are a lot less palatable than far cheaper wines.
You need not go very far from Bordeaux to find two red wines that have always been far better value. A few years ago, the Global Gourmet discovered one of them in Gascony, the region immediately north of the Pyrenees, while he was tasting a more legendary local hooch, Armagnac. Gascony's food is powerfully rustic, featuring foie gras (duck and goose livers) and rib-sticking stews. The wine I found is Madiran, made mostly with a grape hardly seen elsewhere, called Tannat. At its best, Madiran has the tannic base of a Bordeaux with the guts of a far more expensive Rhone red. About a hundred miles southeast of Bordeaux is the ancient provincial city of Cahors, where another distinctively local red is produced. Again, Cahors is a really satisfying wine for carnivores.
Have your own "stick it to Bordeaux" pleasure with these two picks: Alain Brumont Chateau Montus, 2005, at $25 a bottle from snooth.com; Chateau La Caminade, 2005, at $21 a bottle from klwines.com.

Selena Gomez is having a hard time moving on from Justin Bieber — no thanks to his social media, where he's constantly posting pics with other gorgeous girls!
Even though Selena Gomez was only reunited with Justin Bieber for a brief time, she is reportedly having an extremely difficult time with the break up this time around. While she's definitely trying to keep a happy face and is leaning on her girlfriends, she's having a hard time moving forward, a new report claims.
Selena Gomez Sad After Justin Bieber's Shenanigans
"Selena is a complete mess," a source close to the singer told OK! magazine. "Justin was the love her life, and she can't face the fact that their relationship may be over for good."
Justin has definitely been having fun, even though he and Selena were spotted out on a movie and dinner date on June 20. He's been posting pics with models Yovanna Ventura and Chantel Jeffries, and hasn't been hanging with Selena, at all.
So, it's not really surprising that she would be hurting.
Is Justin Regretting Playing Games?
However, she may not be the only one feeling down about the break up — on July 13, Justin posted a pic on his Shots page, and the caption was pretty clear: "Live in the moment but be wise."
Justin has definitely been living in the moment, but they haven't been so wise. He's cozying up to Yovanna in pics, sending crotch pics to Ella Paige, and even talking about threesomes.
Do you think he's regretting the break up? Do you think Selena should move on? Let us know your thoughts, HollywoodLifers!

I like the title of this article.. "Selena is a complete mess".. The only thing is though it should have said "Selena is a complete mess and has been for years". You won't find many guys Justin's age or younger or older for that matter who wouldn't have a threesome with two girls given the chance. Ask a straight guy if two girls came up to him and asked him if he wanted to have a threesome and just see what the response would be from him. So why pretend it is wrong if Justin does it? It was Chantel who said that by the way not Justin about the "threesome".

Aid that helps elderly stay in their homes doesn't seem like the best target.
Wes Killingbeck/San Jose Mercury News/MCT ORG XMIT: 1008991
Reading the Dec. 22 story "Aid that helps elderly to stay in home to be cut" caused me once more to wonder at the shortsighted plans the state makes. Per-resident nursing home care far outweighs home aid costs — and more important than cost, the effect of moving out of one's home to go to a care facility can be devastating emotionally.
Rather than looking for areas to cut waste and rearrange dollars, the state's answer is to cut a life-changing benefit. Do you know the state is willing to pay for children's braces? While I believe this is a benefit and most recipients are very appreciative, I find it hard to accept that those dollars can't be cut in favor of our elderly. There are probably similar nonessential benefits that could be looked at.
How we treat our elderly and the importance we place on their care says volumes about our state. Do you like what you hear?
