Books By C.S. Lewis
October 31, 2009, 04:41:33 AM »
I have really enjoyed reading books by C.S. Lewis in the past, though I disagree with him on some rather important points, and even as a Christian didn't always find his beliefs persuasive. Unfortunately I sold all of the books of his that I owned a few years ago. Anyway, early next year I'd like to write something on him and his beliefs, so I recently bought
The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics
, a compilation of various of his works, including:
Mere Christianity
The Screwtape Letters
The Great Divorce
The Problem of Pain
A Grief Observed
The Abolition of Man
What I want to know is, apart from these books just mentioned, are there any other books by Lewis that you would consider essential to understanding the man and what he believed? I remember reading stuff in the Chronicles of Narnia, e.g. The Last Battle, that sort of gave some insight into his beliefs. For example there were the men sitting around a camp fire (I think) who were oblivious to what was going on around them, which says something about how Lewis might view certain people in the afterlife. Also, the idea of continuing to go "further up and further in" perhaps says something about his view of salvation, even in eternity. (Hopefully I'm not butchering those two examples, it's been 16+ years since I read those books). But apart from those two examples, and obvious stuff like Aslan=Jesus, I can't think of anything else in the Chronicles that would give some hint as to his beliefs. But perhaps others have spotted something in these books, or others, that says something unique about Lewis?

Thanks for the two suggestions.
I looked on Amazon.com and found
Suprised by Joy
in a volume that also has three other works of his (Reflections on the Psalms, the Four Loves, the Business of Heaven), so that's all the better. I also put
Till We Have Faces
in my cart.

Darn. Unfortunately after I posted the last post I decided to just go ahead and purchase them this morning. I probably should have waited (for reasons having to do with paying bills first out of principle), but I'm impulsive like that.

I've only read 'A Grief Observed' out of the ones on that list. I loved it; Lewis reveals some profound thoughts on God, humanity, suffering and faith. His process of nearly losing faith and then coming to reconcile Joy's death with God's benevolence is quite interesting. Here are some quotes I particularly liked...
"What reason have we, except our own desperate wishes, to believe that God is, by any standard we can conceive, 'good'? Doesn't all the prima facie evidence suggest exactly the opposite? What have we to set against it? We set Christ against it. But how if He was mistaken? Almost His last words may have a perfectly clear meaning. He had found that the Being He called Father was horribly and infinitely different from what He had supposed. The trap, so long and carefully prepared and so subtly baited, was a last sprung, the cross. The vile practical joke had succeeded."
People told Lewis not to worry about his wife's death and to take comfort:
"'Because she is in God's hands.' But if so, she was in God's hands all the time, and I have seen what they did to her here. Do they suddenly become gentler to us the moment we are out of the body? And if so, why? If God's goodness is inconsistent with hurting us, then either God is not good or there is no God: for in the only life we know He hurts us beyond our worst fears and beyond all we can imagine. If it is consistent with hurting us, then He may hurt us after death as unendurably as before it.
Sometimes it is hard not to say, "God forgive God." Sometimes it is hard to say so much. But if our faith is true, He didn't. He crucified Him.
This line I put in bold reflects an incredibly important part of my faith personally.
It strikes right to the core of Christianity, that God crucifies God/Christ. To me, this reflects the moment when God finally came to understand the dilemma of Man's existence, when as a man, he too experienced despair. When Lewis describes this moment, he does so in the thoughts and words of a man who is not merely distraught, but who is truly questioning his belief in God or at least in the goodness of God. Lewis' line means so much to me because this concept means a great deal to me. The Crucifixion was two-fold. Not only was God suffering
man, he was suffering
man, as a participant in the despair and suffering of this world whilst simultaneously saving us from it.

Thank you for your thoughts, and taking the time to supply those quotes. It seems that, like Lewis, you also have put a good deal of thought into Christianity.

Linux Advanced Routing Tutorial
Solving the DMZ Challenge
What we need now is to set up a special routing table for all DMZ traffic and create a rule that will plug it in to the routing decision process.
The first step is to create and populate the new table and name it "dmz". We can choose any non-reserved table ID and add one line into the rt_table file to map the ID to our desired name:
[router] ~ # echo "121 dmz" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
[router] ~ # ip route show table dmz
[router] ~ #
The dmz table is empty for now. Let's populate it. Apparently, we need just the default route—everything should be sent to ISP1's gateway:
[router] ~ # ip route add default via 203.0.113.37
↪dev vlan-shdsl table dmz
[router] ~ # ip route show table dmz
default via 203.0.113.37 dev vlan-shdsl
All we need to do now is activate the table by adding a lookup rule to the routing decision process. The lookup rules can be based on many different parameters—the source and/or destination address or address range, the incoming interface, the TOS (Type Of Service) or an arbitrary "fwmark" value that is used in conjunction with iptables rules. For our purpose, the source IP and incoming network interface are the "selectors" that we need:
[router] ~ # ip rule add pri 1000 from 203.0.113.208/28
↪iif vlan-dmz lookup dmz
[router] ~ # ip rule show
0: from all lookup local
1000: from 203.0.113.208/28 iif vlan-dmz lookup dmz
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
All the packets coming from interface vlan-dmz with source address 203.0.113.208/28 will consult the dmz table. And the dmz table says to send them all to the SHDSL link by default. Let's see if it works:
[dmz-box] ~ # traceroute 18.104.22.168
traceroute to 126.96.36.199 (126.96.36.199), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 gw-dmz.e-it.co.nz (203.0.113.209)
↪0.200 ms 0.124 ms 0.110 ms
2 rt-shdsl.isp1 (203.0.113.37) 2.676 ms 2.599 ms 2.632 ms
3 rt3.isp1 (121.98.ab.cd) 2.715 ms 2.680 ms 2.591 ms
[... some more hops ...]
10 216.239.xx.yy (216.239.xx.yy)
↪172.955 ms 172.398 ms 172.339 ms
11 * * *
12 google-public-dns-b.google.com (220.127.116.11)
↪171.703 ms 171.621 ms 170.554 ms
That looks good. The international traffic from the box in DMZ goes over the SHDSL link, while at the same time, we can re-check that from the workstation in the internal LAN, it still goes over ADSL:
[workstation] ~ # traceroute 220.127.116.11
traceroute to 126.96.36.199 (220.127.116.11), 30 hops max,
↪40 byte packets using UDP
1 gw-vlan-office.e-it.co.nz (192.168.130.1)
↪0.170 ms 0.128 ms 0.125 ms
2 gw-vlan-adsl.e-it.co.nz (192.168.128.254)
↪0.861 ms 0.846 ms 0.825 ms
3 core-adsl.isp2 (218.101.x.y) 22.718 ms 22.109 ms 21.931 ms
4 core-xyz.isp2 (203.98.x.y) 20.417 ms 20.222 ms 19.769 ms
[... some more hops ...]
13 64.233.x.y (64.233.x.y) 198.456 ms 197.824 ms 197.189 ms
14 * * *
15 google-public-dns-b.google.com (220.127.116.11)
↪194.318 ms 194.153 ms 194.159 ms
Magic, isn't it! It all looks good, and we're done, right? Well, not quite.
More Work for DMZ Routing
What happens when pinging the DMZ box from my workstation? First, the ping packet goes from 192.168.130.100 to the router. The router consults the "main" routing table, sees that the destination 203.0.113.222 is on a directly connected vlan-dmz and sends the ping request there. The DMZ box replies with a packet from 203.0.113.222 to 192.168.130.100—that's my workstation on vlan-office—and sends it to the router. The router sees that it arrived from the DMZ address range and consults the "dmz" table! The only record in there is the default route, so it takes it and dispatches the packet with destination IP 192.168.130.100 to the ISP where it eventually gets discarded. Oops!
Figure 4. Broken Traffic between DMZ and the Office
There are a number of solutions. Either we can copy all the non-BGP routes from the "main" table to the "dmz" table—that's indeed possible but not very elegant. A better option is to add a new routing entry to the "dmz" table that, when matched, will make the kernel move on to the next rule on the list:
[router] ~ # ip rule show
0: from all lookup local
1000: from 203.0.113.208/28 iif vlan-dmz lookup dmz
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
[router] ~ # ip route add throw 192.168.128.0/20 table dmz
[router] ~ # ip route show table dmz
throw 192.168.128.0/20
default via 203.0.113.37 dev vlan-shdsl
What happens now with the ping reply packet is this: the kernel sees a matching rule 1000 and looks up the "dmz" table. There it finds that the best matching route for a destination of 192.168.130.100 is "throw". That tells it to choose the next available rule—in our case, "32766: from all lookup main" and looks up the "main" table. Here it finds a path to the 192.168.130.0/24 subnet and sends the ping reply to vlan-office. Problem fixed.
Another way, equally as good if not even better, is to go straight to the "main" table for all packets that arrive from the DMZ and are destined for our company's internal address range. Let's add a rule for it:
[router] ~ # ip rule add pri 999 from 203.0.113.208/28
↪iif vlan-dmz to 192.168.128.0/20 table main
[router] ~ # ip rule show
0: from all lookup local
999: from 203.0.113.208/28 to 192.168.128.0/20
↪iif vlan-dmz lookup main
1000: from 203.0.113.208/28 iif vlan-dmz lookup dmz
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
With this rule in place, the router will see that the ping reply packet matches the rule "from 203.0.113.208/28 to 192.168.128.0/20" and will look up the "main" table instead of the "dmz" table right away. Personally, I like this solution the most as it explicitly says "lookup main" instead of a more vague "go to the next rule", whatever it may be, that the former solution does.
Figure 5. DMZ traffic works as expected.
Making the Changes Permanent
Many of the changes we have done so far are only in the router's memory and will disappear after a reboot. Let's make them permanent. Our core router is CentOS 6.2, and the following steps should work on any recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora-based system.
A permanent name already has been given to the "dmz" table:
[router] ~ # cat /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
# reserved values
255 local
254 main
253 default
0 unspec
# local
121 dmz
To add the new ip rules, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-<interface>. As soon as the given interface is configured, the rules will be loaded. The logical place is to load our rules once the DMZ interface vlan-dmz is configured:
[router] ~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-vlan-dmz
# ip rule add ...
pri 999 from 203.0.113.208/28 to 192.168.128.0/20
↪iif vlan-dmz lookup main
pri 1000 from 203.0.113.208/28 iif vlan-dmz lookup dmz
Finally, populate the "dmz" table on reboot. This is done in the route-<interface> file in the same directory:
[router] ~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-vlan-dmz
# ip route add ...
default via 203.0.113.37 dev vlan-shdsl table dmz
# throw 192.168.128.0/20 table dmz ## unless the rule 999 is in place
That's it. The routing now works as designed and survives a reboot.
Networking 201?
The topics I explained in this article—multiple routing tables, rules for selecting them and a hint of BGP—should give you enough knowledge to build moderately complex Linux-based routers. In this trade, you will come across a lot more concepts—from OSPF through firewalls and NATs to VPNs and high-availability networks. None of these topics are within the scope of this article; however, in the end, the core thing that makes all this networking fun possible is routing. If you learn the few simple concepts of how IP routing works, you will know half of what networking is all about. Happy experimenting!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

it's really because they don't speak english
People who win games typically enjoy winning them. This game relies heavily on communication between teammates. In my experience, the majority of people in this game that speak spanish can not or will not speak english. This, in my opinion, cuts your chances of victory by a large chance. Like at least by 50%. Honestly I think that if you play on the NA server, you should speak english. I do not think that it is appropriate to troll these people or otherwise berate them, I think that it should be a reportable offense. However, one of the rules of this game is that you are allowed to speak in whatever language you want, so we must put up with losing games because we cannot communicate with our teammates. I think that the spanish speaking, and otherwise non english speaking members of this game should learn enough english to communicate with their team out of respect for their fellow players, not because they will be trolled otherwise. I do not believe anyone should be trolled or otherwse mocked for any reason and I think that is worse than being unable to communicate.
RC Buford
Well to be honest, with all the due respect, i find that 99% of latino (or at least spanish speaking players) either do no give one **** about team comp, helping their team, or anything related to teamwork, or they just suck so bad at the game you'd think a two year old was playing. thats honestly why i and all my friends nearly insta quit when we have a mexican on our team.
Junior Member
I'm from Brazil and I only play in the NA server. Why? Cause of the skill level difference. But I only play in the NA cause I have no problem typing and communicating in english. This game is heavily dependent on good communication with teammates, and if u cant have that u mess up the game most of time. Idk why ppl that cant speak english play in the NA server.
North America =/= English. My main language isn't english, it's spanish, but most of the time i talk in english because i don't want to be rude with people. I think the main problem here is, some people from USA are so intolerant, yes i'm saying this, NOT ALL THE PEOPLE, but some, the worst part is, they don't even know that Portuguese = Spanish. Some times i'm playing with 3 or more friends who barely know anything about enlgish, they just limit to say "bot mia" and ping, and i need to to talk to them in spanish, and if i need to say something to the english speaking people, i'll do it, but it's like they don't want or can't understand and they start trolling, insulting, harassing, well guys, that's annoying and it's sad, not for us, because we're used to that, but sometimes i just feel pity for some of this guys, so close-minded, so childish, anyway, i don't care about them, just ignore and keep playing. I have met a TON of people who are really good, friendly and the most important part is... tolerant, but some people are just... the description of jerk.
Pings. Very little else irritates me, but the pings are just awful. Please, be nice enough to not connect with a ping of 360 - there is a very particular reason servers are regional. I hate afk about Latinos more than all else - they have bad connections and I regularly have to fight an uphill battle because of it. Ideally, they'd speak English on NA, but I'm Canadian. I should be more multicultural, so whatever. It would be nice if I wasn't multicultural enough to be near-fluent in Spanish and able to understand some of the horrendous things they regularly call me. It's even worse than English players. Maybe there's a lack of cultural understanding [maybe it's hilarious to call people a PoS in Mexico?], but I hate being called a PoS every game and several other very unpleasant things. If I went through, I've probably had some good games with Latinos, but I think that's not in the majority. I've also found a general disposition towards not giving a hoot or being actively malicious to teammates. Kind of like hotshot Ahri/Ashe players (you know what I'm talking about). It's the same problem. Maybe it's all just cultural differences and I'm not privy to them, but I can't say I'd miss the Latino players if Riot put up a Latino-only server.
I have met very cool latino people on lol, but im gonna be honest the most ive met play dumb intentionally and troll

Good I wish Overstock would include a battery with the product....also I had to go elsewhere and ask some of their customers how to insert batteries! Once I knew it was simple but not without directions. The push button could use some help also...it fell off on one occasion. The plus side: gives a very good light.

Good Quality Lantern Hurricane Sandy forced me to find out how good my flashlights and batteries stood the test of time! I purchased the Rayovac Lantern after Sandy's damage was done. We spent to long a time in darkness! The ability of this lantern to use D-cell OR 6-volt lantern batteries is something that could be appreciated years from now when the need arises.

5 pages and no mention of rodstacking + archangels as an effective means of playing a tank/nuke? The 3k-4k mana will effectively turn into 1.5k-2k health (once every minute, if you even get into danger as much) as archangels 25 mp/5 is pretty hard to out-spam, and damage on the hook quickly goes up to 500+ (if not 600+) then your fist comes in at at least 200 with a stun and the real fun begins when your (boosted) ult passive starts slapping away at a character that will have a hard time escaping, if all else fails the last move is a 600-700 damage ult active. Now, I've seen some people discourage AP builds...did I overlook some fatal flaw in this or something?
blitz has 2 physical skills, overdrive and power fist. going ap isn't a good idea with blitz. his rocket grab has a long cd, so does his ult, so ap build results in a blitz with gimped attack.
Cooldowns can be mended, if you throw in a glacial shroud (or frozen heart for tanky goodness), it'll be at least 20% less of a problem, while keeping in line with building your mana. The problem I see with a phys damage build is that you quite often have to give up your tank potential. The same basically goes for a non-AP tanking build: your tanking will be fine, but your damage will suffer. Also remember that, although his ult has a 'high' CD the 50 or so added damage every 2.5 secs DOES add up as well, the active part is more of a finisher/AoE blast anyway. and as a third, armor stacking is more common (and I've also found it to be easier) than stacking MR, making those hard earned AP points count. In short: I'm unconvinced that a higher damage output in one item build, necessarily means that an AP/mana build is unviable, or even less desired.
1. glacial shroud/frozen heart are not good tank items. it's only good if all the enemies are physical dps, and that almost never happens. 2. magic resist stacking is more common than armor stacking. 3. ap mana build is great, just not on blitz. 4. the cd reduction is nice, just not worth it. p.s. i lied, ap mana build is stupid. ap mana health is better.
Question: what is your reasoning behind levelling rocket grab up early on? You aren't going to have the mana to take advantage of the reduced cooldown, and the damage increase is negligible at best. I find that taking 1 or 2 levels of rocket grab early on, and then maxing power fist and overdrive leads to a much stronger Blitz. For example, you will actually be able to chase -> power fist heroes before late game using this skill build, kill towers quickly, etc. You aren't using rocket grab for the damage. Bait's build is exactly what I use (you posted it on another forum, right?) and it's miles ahead of any blitz build I have tried out, and fits blitz's role very well.
http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...ad.php?t=18110 i posted it a long time ago but nobody commented on it.

I tried a couple of the builds out that were posted here. Lolpucks worked best for me so far; that or some minor variation on it is what I plan to run as Blits from here on in.
I find that stacking bloodrazors makes you insane. Little squishy to magic, yes, but insane. Baron basically rolls over and dies to Overdrive/Powerfist if you've got at least two. Only from a couple of relatively-equal practice games worth of experience though, need to test it in some normal ones.
Stacking bloodrazors is awesome, but extremely team dependent (yours and the opponent's). While I'm still experimenting and learning more about Blitz every time I play him, I find (in general) that he is best when combined +attack speed items that have a passive. Blitz's natural damage is really low, so just stacking +attack speed isn't going to do a whole lot. But stacking +attack speed and a passive can go a long way in every game. The best +attack speed items for Blitz are basically everything made with the Recurve Bow, and the Malady. I was actually typing up a huge summary of what items work with Blitz in certain situations, but I feel like I can flesh it out and post it later.

A recent ad for Lynx makes me want to draw wings and halos:
The product may carry the "cheap, teenage smell of desperation", but that naïve angel is damn cute
"Lynx" is known as "Axe" in some regions. Not quite sure why.
Say the word "Lynx" and it conjures imagery of lithe, feline predators.
What springs to mind when you say "Axe"?

I would like to start out by saying that I understand this is only on pbe, and not live. I want to try to convince you guys that bringing those nerfs live will destroy yi. Ap yi has exactly 2 tools, alpha strike and meditate. Alpha strike, especially at early levels, has a very long cooldown and still only hits 4 things. He can only alpha strike a wave one time, and even then, it doesn't kill the minions unless he gets a proc. After that he is left to farm slowly at melee range. He eats a lot of harass while trying to farm with his aa. Meditate allows him to trade harass for farm. Meditate basically allows him to function, and although ap yi functions differently than other champions, he should not be discriminated against because of it. Other champions in the game have increased base stats to offset the fact that they are melee, but not yi. Yi is part of the special class of champion labeled melee carry. Instead of getting decent base stats, our plucky little samurai must deal with being able to deal a truckload of damage lategame with two steroids. Doing a quick appraisal of all the champions listed as melee carries we will see that all of them are basically useless when it comes to top level competition. Melee carries, in lol, are an entirely broken class of champions, who have been completely outclassed by bruisers. When Yi is played ap, he doesn't even get to take advantage of the two ad steroids he was given to offset his terrible base stats. The only thing ap yi has is that meditate. The proposed nerf to meditate, reducing the ap ratio from 4.0 to 1.2 along with lowering the base amount, will drastically affect my ap yi, even starting at lvl 2. I take meditate at lvl 2, with alpha strike at lvl 1. Between my runepage/masteries and starting buy of a doran's ring I have 39 ap out of the gate. That means that by the time I hit lvl 2 and try to meditate I will not heal for the expected 296, but instead I will only gain 167. The nerf looks even larger when we start comparing numbers in a lategame build. With 500 ap and a lvl 5 meditate, the old heal would be 2700, and on the pbe that would only heal for 1200. Maybe his current meditate is too strong, I'm not denying that, but the changes you are proposing are not balance, they are destruction. You are basically making ap yi unviable on any level. You are also hurting ad yi by dropping the base heal amount on meditate, and ad yi is already basically useless. I would like to reiterate that last point once again for a conclusion. This is not balance, it is destruction. I am more than willing to entertain the fact that yi's meditate probably needs to be toned down, but if these changes go live you will completely destroy ap yi, and also the most fun I've ever had playing lol.

This wall ought to be broken down,
Tore apart,
Completely demolished
For the crime of standing between
And you.
Separating us.
But I know it's not merely a wall.
It is miles and years and fate.
Things that can't be broken, ever.
Because if they were, well,
That would be it, wouldn't it?
We can't be too selfish;
Other lives are involved.
We are too good, too kind to allow our own wants to endanger two worlds.
Why can you never have any good luck?
Why does the universe feel the need to always punish you?
You have done nothing but generous acts,
Shown only mercy,
Still, somehow it is always you who pays the dearest price.
Somehow you're never given a break from the any of it:
The heartbreak, the soul-ache, the mind-numbing pain.
Nothing you deserve.
If it were possible, this wall would be down.
The miles would be gone and those years would disappear.
Fate wouldn't even be a factor.
We wouldn't have to be selfish.
This wall would disappear and you would come back
And this ache,
Yes, this one,
Right here in the middle of my chest,
Burning with the knowledge of never seeing you again,
Would have never existed.
But it is not to be.
So I drag myself from this wall,
Ignoring the ache.
I pull myself away to fulfill a promise.
I'm going to do what you made me swear I'd try.
I'm going to live life to the fullest.
I'm going to live life to the fastest,
The best,
The brilliant.
I am going to live the fantastic life
All in my search for a way back to you.

Over the years, the environmental movement has written hundreds and hundreds of reports and had thousands of meetings with decision makers, and while these things remain important, what we really need is people power. We need decision-makers to realize that Canadians want climate change to be taken seriously for a clean energy future.
In addition to the Keystone XL which would increase total capacity of the pipeline to 1.1 million barrels of diluted bitumen per day, Enbridge filed plans to Monday to build the $2.6B Sandpiper pipeline project across northern Minnesota. If approved, the project will move 225,000 barrels per day of unconventional oil to Minnesota, and 375,000 barrels to Wisconsin.
Just this morning, BC Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Allison Redford have announced that they have penned a deal to ram a pipeline from Nor...
So much for Premier Wynne's meaningless promise to ensure environmental protections are in place for Line 9. So much for the Premier's promise to ensure First Nations' concerns are addressed. The Premier has thrown Ontario's environment, water and communities under the big oil bus.
Could rail realistically provide an alternative to the Keystone XL, aiding in the expansion of Canada's highly-polluting tar sands? The Keystone XL will undoubtedly support tar sands production, promote continued tar sands investment, and contribute to Canada's already-significant greenhouse gas output.
Mother Nature seems to be a little out of sorts these days. In excruciating detail, the IPCC documents her unhappiness with anthropogenic (a.k.a. man-made) activity. She is even giving some early warnings directly to the PM and his Minister of the Environment. Mother Nature is not impressed and neither are Canadians.
The Pipeline Bogeyman is the New Baby Seal Hunt -- a cause celebre for environmentalists and their fellow travelers as varied as meddling movie stars or Middle Eastern oil sheikhdoms that finance anti-development, anti-fracking, anti-oil sands efforts.My favourite example of the hidden and cynical geopolitical forces aimed at stifling Canada's economic development was the cinematic flop against natural gas fracking called "Promised Land" starring Matt Damon and financed by Abu Dhabi, the world's third biggest oil exporter.
The hotel bill for the luxurious New York Palace Hotel suggests Harper's speaking engagement was a staged promotional gathering for the Keystone XL, rather that a typical guest speaker event which is usually paid for by the host.The hotel charges include coffee services for $6,650.00, room rental for $33,500.00 and audio visual services of $14,709.15.
Harper should be commended for speaking truthfully to Obama and the US, that Canada's oil and gas industry is critical to Canada's future prosperity. And that Harper will continue to fight to transport Alberta oil to the US regardless whether Obama rejects Keystone. In a few years, Harper will still be prime minister. Obama will have faded into history.
As almost everyone knows by now, Canada has some interesting challenges looming when it comes to transporting increasing oil production to markets both inside and outside of Canada. What many Canadians might not realize is how important oil exports are to Canada's economy, and how these exports may have become a crutch.
It wasn't too long ago when Canadians were shouting at the top of their lungs about George Bush, the Iraq War, Guantanamo Bay, Gay Rights and a myriad of other "American" issues. But the tides have turned quickly. Canada is now what the U.S. was in the George W. Bush days. I can't point to exact moment, but all I can say it happened really fast.
This year, something incredible happened and the planets appear to be lining up for the Northwest Territories. A major discovery of oil in shale deposits was made this year near Norman Wells (900 miles north of Edmonton and 300 miles south of Inuvik) and a bidding and drilling frenzy is underway.
To accept and use money from these companies is outrageous. It is an obvious contradiction: How can the organizers promote reconciliation while giving Big Oil companies a pass when those same companies are directly involved in damaging Indigenous ways of life? This was the exact purpose of Residential Schools. The Residential School system had sought (among many things) to displace Indigenous peoples from our homelands; yet again, these companies are seeking to displace our peoples from our homelands to reap the benefit at our expense.
TransCanada got schooled at their recent Energy East pipeline open house in North Bay, Ontario. Mixed in amongst the crowd of several hundred who dropped by throughout the evening, a group of 50 concerned citizens came with more than just their questions; they came in outfits that intentionally resembled TransCanada's own.
Filling up at the gas station is certainly one of the ways to use oil that is most familiar to us. But guess what: of all the oil we use, only 43 per cent goes to fueling our cars. Given this, can we seriously consider ending our "dependence on oil", as some would suggest? Someone who wants to stop using oil will have to say goodbye to smart phones, ballpoint pens, candlelight, clothing made of synthetic fibers, glasses, toothpaste, tires (including those on bicycles), and thousands of other products made from plastic, a petroleum derivative. Good luck with that program.
Our dominant economic paradigm is premised on a worldview that we are self-interested, wealth-maximizing beings that respond like automatons to price signals. I think we're more than that. Our labels engage this part of us and are ultimately more congruent with what we are as human beings.

Background: Extensive head and neck defects may not be amenable to reconstruction with a single flap. The authors' evaluated the feasibility and functional outcomes of reconstructive surgery involving multiple simultaneous free flaps.
Methods: Cases involving multiple simultaneous free flaps for head and neck reconstruction between 2001 and 2007 at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center were reviewed.
Results: Seventy-nine free flaps were performed in 39 patients. Thirty-four patients (87 percent) underwent mandibular reconstruction for 14 bone and full-thickness cheek defects (36 percent), nine bone and hemiglossectomy defects (23 percent), and 11 bone and near total or total glossectomy defects (28 percent). Five patients (13 percent) had extensive palatomaxillary defects. The mean operation time, including the time for extirpative surgery, was 13.8 hours. The mean intensive care unit stay was 4.3 days, and the mean hospital stay was 11.5 days. Two patients had laryngectomies and the remainder received tracheostomies. Of the tracheostomy group, 33 patients (89 percent) were decannulated. In this same group, 30 patients (81 percent) demonstrated speech with greater than 80 percent of words intelligible. Twenty-three of 29 patients (79 percent) who were feeding tube–independent preoperatively received all of their nutrition orally postoperatively. Patients who were partially or totally feeding tube–dependent postoperatively underwent either a hemiglossectomy or near total or total glossectomy, with mandibulectomy.
Conclusions: Multiple simultaneous free flaps can be performed safely in patients, with acceptable recovery times and functional outcomes. In select cases, the authors advocate multiple free flap reconstruction to maximize quality of life even in patients with advanced cancers.

What's the payoff? You'll not only get more done but also enjoy more flow — when you're so absorbed in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. Flow creates a sense of fulfillment and engagement and, yes, even contentment.

Recently, I published an article in Technet magazine that reviews several of the available solution accelerators for MOM 2005. That article in draft form is attached. Solution accelerators in MOM 2005 offer MOM admins additional support, technology and guidance to help address specific deployment concerns - such as alert tuning, continuity of monitoring service and email notifications.

I am looking at starting AG by the BIAB method next week (once my missus has made me a biab bag!) Can anyone suggest a good-bodied, simple amber ale recipe please. I am looking at making a 2.5 gallon batch as my kettle is only 7 gallons. Thanks.
Here's a fairly simple one I'm going to make soon. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/cara...er-ale-167880/ Trickiest part will be making the caramel.
Here's a clone I did of Bell's Amber. I'll be making it this weekend! 80% Eff, 5.5 gallon batch 9lbs 2-row 1lb munich 1lb C40 1lb C90 1/2 oz cascade 60m 1/2 oz fuggles 60m 1/2 oz cascade 20m 1/2 oz fuggles 20m 1/2 oz cascade 1m 1/2 oz fuggles 1m I use WLP090 but WLP001 or US-05 would work fine too. OG 1.059, FG 1.015 mash around 154. 31 IBU
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own! twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
Thanks guys I'll give them a go and report back
I really enjoyed this amber I brewed. http://hobsonbrew.blogspot.com/2009/...amber.html?m=1 Grain - 9lbs Pale Malt 1lb Munich Malt 1lb Crystal 40 (I may have accidentally gotten 60 when I was at the LHBS) 1lb Crystal 80 Hop Schedule - 0.7oz Centennial First Wort Hop 0.6oz Centennial 20 minutes 0.2oz Centennial 5 minutes o.5oz Centennial 0 minutes Yeast - Safale US-05 It ended up being very nice and one of my favorite brews.
Yeah I noticed how similar it was after posting it. I brewed that beer for the first time about four years ago. Still one of my faves.
I've never had a Bell's. I might have to hunt one down.
