The Indian real estate seems to be a survivor, as indicated in the health reports of most industry analysts and online portals.
However dismal the international trends may seem, the Indian real estate market in 2012 grew despite decreasing GDP rates and dampening economic conditions, says 'Property price trends across metros', a real estate analysis by the online portal 99acres.com.
The report is a comparative study of markets across six cities: Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata and Pune. But in spite of the upward trend in growth, the report notes the cautious approach of the buyers because of rising home loan rates and domestic inflationary pressures.
"Among the top seven cities, the capital value growth in Delhi-NCR and Chennai was the highest with prices increasing by 20 and 18 per cent respectively in Q4-12 over Q4-11. The other metros have also witnessed double digit percentage growth in property prices with Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Kolkata witnessing appreciation in the range of 13 to 15 per cent. Rental values across these cities (3-BHK flats) have also gone up in the range of seven to nine per cent," the analysis
Bangalore trends
Property prices in the Bangalore region moved up by approximately 12 per cent in the last one year.
This makes the place a good investor market as prices in the city have been moving at a steady rate year on year.
In Bangalore East, Whitefield saw the maximum price growth of 15 per cent in the last one year while Old Madras Road and Sarjapur Road saw a 11 per cent rise.
In the North, Hebbal saw the highest price increase of 42 per cent in Q4-12 while Hennur Road got about 26 per cent increase.
The South had HSR Layout, J.P. Nagar and Uttarahalli seeing less than 10 per cent growth in the last one year, and all other areas saw rates appreciate in the range of 11 to 15 per cent.

Starting to do my homework to build an eBIAB system. Would like to stick with 120v since I have 120v service in both the front and back of the house. Winter I brew in the backyard in the sun, summer, I brew in the front in the shade. Can I do 5 gallon batches with a single 120V heater element or would I really need to use dual elements? What is the recommended total wattage to bring 6+ gallons to a boil without having to wait all day for a boil? Just remembered, I do have 220 service in the garage for a 220 heater I never use. The receptacle is like the one attached. It's about a 40 foot run from the plug to the front or back of the house. Can I use an extension cord for this type of service to my e-brewery if the 120v single heater isn't quite enough? Thanks.
"The immediate bubbles were your yeast screaming in pain" ~ Freisste "Straighten out a wire coat hanger and put a small hook in the end, just big enough to fit thru the hole in your bung." ~ Huesmann
If I'm not mistaken, that's a 20A 120V receptacle...
It is 20A - 240V:Receptacles-Commercial-20-Amp-Single/Leviton/5821
One 2000w element should boil 5 gallons which will leave you with ~4 gallons finished. Any more and you need to supplement the heat either with a stove or a second 120v source. -Josh

You got to hand it to the GM's of Pitts and Carolina ... Lebrun reported that they started chatting at 4:00 pm and by 7:00 pm, deal was done. You gotta like how quickly some GM's get things done.
A part of me suspects that this was something that's been in the works for a while. I even think its possible that the 10yr offer wasn't necessarily even for Staal, but to let other big name players know that the Pens organization is willing spend big and make Pittsburgh a permanent home for someone (appealing for a Parise or Suter to see that type of commitment).
Maybe I'm giving Shero too much credit, but it still ended up being a shrewd move.

Jordan Staal turned down a long-term offer from the Penguins, which isn't too strange. What they reportedly offered him is a little bit odd. Reportedly, the Penguins were up to 10 years, $60-million. Even though the cap continues to climb, the guy has some impressive tools, and is only 23, would you be willing to pay him that to play for the Wings?
Its so hard to tell. On the Penguins he was always going to play third banana to the kid and Malkin, but the Pens were willing to pay that much for him in the third slot. Perhaps on a team like the Canes he'll blossom into a beast, but only time will tell.

I had the exact same thought when I saw the terms he turned down. Shero would have to be off his rocker (which I don't believe he is) to offer, in earnest, that much for a 3rd line center. I'm not knocking Staal's skills, or saying that he's no better than 3rd line material in the general sense. I think we all know he's more talented than that...but he'd be playing behind two of the very best centermen in the league for years to come had he stayed in Pitt.
Good on Shero, if we're right. As much as I hate the Pens, I have to respect that sort of foresight.

This talk about the Pens in on Parise now is just absurd. They picked up $2 mil in cap space in this exchange of players. They have 7 free agents after next year, one of which is Crosby. I keep reading "They'll trade Martin to a team that needs to get the cap floor and then we'll have tons of space!" Uhh yeah, offense wasn't the problem last year. It was their inability to keep the puck out of the net. Not to mention, I don't think the captain of the Devils will join a rival opponent. They would be smarter to go after Suter, but he already said he doesn't want to play in the East.
But Pittsburgh is the greatest team ever so they will get Parise AND Suter and win multiple Cups for years to come.
Now maybe I missed something but didn't Staal basically bailed out because he was playing in the Shadow of Malkin and Crosby? But Parise who is the Devils Captain would be ok with playing 3rd fiddle?
What happened to being objective and writing logical commentaries? I really hate sports writers that write illogical, biased stories.

We need someone like Parise that can penetrate the box.-blueadams

You blend (in a blender ^.^) the cooled fluffy rice with water (Not sure the ratios, I did trial and error)

You heat it.

My flight yesterday from PIT was at 9:30 AM with American Airlines. That got delayed to 12:00 AM. Fucking bullocks. That meant I missed my connection flight. So I obviously didn't go. They transferred me to Continental, connecting through CLE at 5:00 PM. 7 hours in a god damn fucking airport, with no ride back to the house. Fucking shit. Then they delayed the CLE flight 'til 5:40 PM.

That's where some of it would be of use. Easily accessible in time of emergency. Had it all been cached 50mi away in the woods, he could spend hours getting through the muck and mire to the cache, if SHTF. At least for a few items, I'd think having it nearby would be useful. Of course, you've got to pay the storage fee. Amazing that he didn't, if true.
Well ... yeah. Of course he did. But then, that could be said of anyone harvesting navel oranges, or sewing hems on slacks. Preparing items for future use is what we do. ATF is stating this as if it's a criminal act to have done ... the keeping for future use part, I mean.According to a complaint filed earlier this month, Struve "planned to use the items at some uncertain date in the future."
We'll probably hear more as the investigation finds more.
As for whether he's fringe with a few marbles lost, consider that ~50 guns isn't too much different than many folks. In 1985, someone with 50 guns and numerous full-autos wouldn't have been deemed short of a sixpack, yet today he is. Granted, the true military-grade items (grenades, launchers, C4) seem a bit over the top.
The mere fact he was stocking up is little different than many here, even with full-autos as part of the collection. No facts yet, but it's entirely possible that he acquired much or all of it surreptitiously. That's verboten, sure, 'cause the gubmint has a law. And with the C4 and launchers, it begs the question about the goal of his preparations. But, other than the likely surreptitious acquisitions, with no violent actions yet, what's the infraction?

Cruellest cut: pensioner chops off penis after wife finds toyboy
Turkish father-of-six Turgut Oymen, 73, was preparing to celebrate his golden wedding with life-long sweetheart Nese... Read more...
2nd Feb 2013 4:48pm | By Helen Elfer
However you get your romantic kicks – outdoors, lazing by the fire, getting sloshed – these love nests are Valentine's Day ready
You know what day is coming up next week don't you? No?
Then you're in big trouble, my friends. It's nearly Valentine's Day, so you'd better hurry up and start making some plans.
How about spending a couple of days in one of these romantic cottages, where you and your other half can spend some 'quality time' together (wink, wink)?
We've found one that'll suit every kind of couple.
Where: Blaendyffryn Fach, Wales.WHY: Not the type of couple who want to sit about staring into each other's eyes and smooching all day?
Book your V-Day weekend at Blaendyffryn Fach in Wales.
It's a converted stone barn in a gorgeously scenic spot, with views of Llanllwni mountain. But forget about gazing through the windows at it.
Get the blood pumping with a pony trekking or hiking session, or cycle the nearby Brechfa Forest mountain bike trail.
When you've worn yourselves out, there's a pub less than a mile away, The Talardd (talardd.com), where you can recuperate with a few pints of their award-winning ales.
The Damage: From £70pn.
Book it: welsh-retreat.co.uk
Where: Apple Cottage, Dorset.
Why: If you and your loved one prefer romantic evenings to involve being half-cut – and who could blame you? – the best bet is to book Apple Cottage in Lyme Regis.
The stone cottage used to be a cider barn, and if that knowledge whets your appetite for a pint, there's a pub falling distance (200m) down the road.
During the sober hours, you can go for hangover-easing walks in the fresh air along the Jurassic Coast – Charmouth Beach is just fifteen minutes' drive away.
There's also a paddock outside where chickens, sheep and pigs are kept, giving the place a real country vibe.
The damage: From £225 per week.
Book it: wimdu.co.uk
Where: Balleswidden Cabin, Cornwall.
Why: Words rather than the wildlife get you going? Literary lovers will adore the quirky Balleswidden Cabin.
It has floor-to-ceiling shelves of books for you both to get stuck into and was originally built as a writer's lodge – perfect for living out your Hunter S Thompson fantasies of scribbling away in a remote cabin with your muse in sight.
In the evening, weather permitting, you can sit out under a blanket on the deck and see down to Land's End.
Need to warm up again? Run a bubble bath for two in the huge claw-foot tub – now that's romantic.
The owner always throws in a hamper full of organic goodies, such as honey from her own bees and homemade blackberry jam. Sweet as.
The Damage: £80pn.

bon voyage
Molly and Conor,
We are so happy to be following your grand adventures. It is so exciting to imagine all of the wonderful experiences and people that you will meet along the way.
Are you in Fiji yet??? Is it spectacular?
Can't wait to hear all about it.
Love you and miss you already.
Left My Heart In San Francisco
The day has finally come to say our last farewell to San Francisco, well at least for 4 months. Thank you so much for not only making us feel so loved, but also for all of your help, hugs, and kind words. Conor and I are so excited for this trip, and it is with all of your support that we were able to even think about taking this adventure!! We are heading up to Seattle to Conor's parents home, and then we are flying out Monday morning for Fiji :) Please let us know everything that going on in your lives, we will miss you all so much. The time will fly by so fast, but it also seems so far away. We are not bringing the cell phones, but we are bringing the Ipod and Camera. We are going to buy phone cards along the way, and of course send postcards. We have some, but not all of you address and we would love to have every ones snail mail address.

Jeremy, can you throw that into Photoshop real quick and make it our cardinal and gold? Then you could actually leave it up there for a while!

A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't fail if it doesn't get that one player.
I like it!

According to AFP, he first rose to the presidency as Abu Dhabi's ruler in 2004 following the death of his father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan. The council designates both the president and vice president.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed al-Maktoum, who is also the country's prime minister, defence minister and Dubai ruler, has served as vice president since 2006.

Obama signs jobs bill, but how much will it help?
The jobs bill will create 200,000 jobs at most, estimates at least one economist. Obama signed the jobs bill in a Rose Garden ceremony Thursday.
Charles Dharapak/AP
The $17.6 billion jobs bill that President Obama signed Thursday in a Rose Garden ceremony will have only a tiny impact on America's 9.7 percent unemployment rate, economists say.
The measure was signed in a sun-dappled ceremony with more than 40 House and Senate Democrats on hand to applaud. It exempts businesses from paying the 6.2 percent payroll tax on new employees who have been out of work for at least 60 days. And firms get an additional $1,000 credit if new hires stay on their payroll a full year.
The measure also injects funds into highway and transit programs.
"200,000 is my maximum estimate" for the number of jobs the legislation will create, says Timothy Bartik, senior economist at the nonpartisan W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research in Kalamazoo, Mich. And the number will "probably [be] less than that," he says. An estimated 8.4 million jobs have been lost in the past two years or so.
Mr. Bartik cites two reasons the measure will have only a modest impact. "One, it is small. And two, it requires employers to jump through hoops, and complexity requirements will make it less attractive," he says. One of the hoops he refers to is the need to ensure a worker has been jobless for at least 60 days.
"The impact on hiring will be small," writes Augustine Faucher, director of macroeconomics for Moody's Economy.com. "Before business will really boost payrolls they need to be convinced that the recovery will strengthen."

When you are building up a high performance vehicle, especially one intended for off road driving, you know that you need to upgrade the suspension, steering, tires, and braking. However, a taller suspension with larger tires and extra horsepower can lead to an undesirable side effect: axle wrap. Axle wrap occurs when the leaf springs on the rear of your vehicle are unable to cope the increased torque of your modifications and they move in an arc pattern, rather than simply up and down. This can lead to a rough ride, as well as poor traction over bumps and under acceleration. A Fabtech traction bar is the solution to this problem. A Fabtech traction bar mounts to your rear axle or suspension and to your chassis and it prevent axle wrap. The Fabtech traction bar is simple to install and it will not reduce your ground clearance. It will allow you to get all of that power to the ground, improving your performance and not wasting precious horsepower. Like all Fabtech components, the Fabtech traction bar is manufactured to the highest standards and is up to the task of delivering race winning performance on your off road vehicle Shoppers should certainly get professional customer assistance when shopping for quality auto parts. For our valued customers, we've established a round-the-clock customer support desk to support all your calls. Everybody hates to pay for shipping, that's why we offer totally free shipping for every order more than $50. If you can find a better price, call us - we will beat any legitimate auto part price.

Raven and Tallon, take your personal issues to PM or a chatroom and get back on topic...
ah ok guy with 100+ posts which somehow makes you not a newb. (and yes i notice when you joined, i just dont give a damn) Not to mention, being a newb doesnt mean your new, its how you act. And your the one acting like a newb. newb.Originally Posted by Raven Omega
And yes i hate dubs. So what? I wasnt whining about it. This is a thread about a dub, so i put my opinion on dubs in.
And i think i said it in the champloo thread (maybe in this one) - i watch everything dubbed atleast once through in entirety. So i can complain about dubs all i want because ive watched enough to have a valid opinion on it.
And thanks for the racial/ethnic profiling.
Yeah...just cuz im not japanese, i cnat tell if they are bad or not.You poeple can't even TELL if the japanese VA's are bad or not.
So does that mean i cant like rap, im not black afterall. And i suppose i MUST stop listening to japanese music too right? afterall i cant tell if its good or not.
Raven and Tallon, take your personal issues to PM or a chatroom and get back on topic...
Did you even know if I contacted Raven about this issue by PM... You keep telling people to read your posts, so I'm telling you the same as I clearly stated to BOTH of you to settle your issues by PM... Now go back on topic...Originally Posted by TallonKarrde23
I tought there was already a topic active about this, : confused:, well cartoon network suks they'll ruin naruto.
Okay back to the original subject then.
I just watched my Cowboy Bebop DVDs dubbed for the first time just to get a good idea about this Steve Blum. Not bad, his voice would indeed fit Kakashi rather nicely.
Ok I don't agree with that though, I may not be able to tell for some characters but Kakashi's voice is very good in the original version.Originally Posted by RavenOmega
But if I absolutely had to watch Naruto dubbed I wouldn't mind Steve Blum as Kakashi. The laid back coolness is there and that's what Kakashi is all about most of the time...
This is about choosing Steve Blum, not about how well CN will handle Naruto.Originally Posted by lord nikon
so, Cartoon Network will show naruto on Toonami or Adult Swim.lol
ps; shall be better to show it on Adult Swim.lol

Greek debt crisis: pushing more European integration?
As the Greek debt crisis rolls on, some in Britain worry that the crisis is being used to undermine economic sovereignty and pushes European integration further.
Thierry Charlier/AP/File
If Greece bond prices are any indication, investors are saying the Greek debt crisis isn't over.
On Thursday, the world's largest bond fund, Pimco, said that European efforts to back Greece and its austerity plans, were not enough – a warning that bodes ill for the country's future ability to raise funds at lower interest rates.
The continuing Greek crisis is reviving tensions over economic sovereignty – as well as exposing the difficulty of managing 16 diverse economies that share a single currency, the euro.
Some see the Greek debt crisis as underscoring the need for a unified European economic policy or greater "economic governance" – a vision endorsed this week by the European Commission in the EU's Brussels executive meeting.
Opponents of a grand European union project suspect powerful players like France and the European Union's new president, Belgian Herman Van Rompuy, of using Greece's troubles to push that agenda.

Japanese pop culture has never been so neatly organized as it is here at this state-of-the-art mini mall. New People is divided into four shiny levels: the cinema/café downstairs; the Store (selling trinkets, toys, books, and DVDs) on the first floor; clothing shops like Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, and Sou-Sou on the second floor; and the Superfrog Gallery on the third floor. Expect to see a rotation of emerging artists in the gallery and make sure you try the superstrong

Last night was the opening night shindig for the latest i am 8-bit show, and it was by far their biggest event yet. We arrived early as part of a press event to mill around and quietly take photos, but by 9PM the place was packed with people checking out the art, listening to the whomping sounds of Computer Jay, DJ R-Rated, and Leeni (check her out in the Pac-Man dress, along with her 8-bit tattoo). There was a massive line of people outside waiting to get in, and it had turned into the hottest ticket on Hollywood Blvd. Which, yes, is actually saying something.
They had turned the entire storefront of the World of Wonder (didn't they used to make Teddy Ruxpin?) into a huge display, featuring giant Piranha Plants from Super Mario Bros., and they had an old-school setup where you could play games ranging from an NES to a full-sized arcade cabinet, right there on full display to everyone passing by. It probably didn't hurt that some of the Nerdcore calendar girls took up residence here later and played Game Boys and quarter-eaters in their underwear.
Read more after the break, and be sure to take a spin through the huge gallery which shows off the more than 200 pieces in the show, and how crazy the whole scene became.
Prices for pieces have definitely been climbing with the rising popularity of these shows. For instance, this Link vs. Ganon piece was going for two grand. Yowsa. Even these tiny (but awesome) Scott C. pieces were $175 bucks a pop, and we're thinking 8-bit could probably make a killing by doing limited print runs with some of these artists. We really wanted this Elevator Action piece, but it was already sold by the time the show began. Curses.
One cool exhibit/installation was this multi-screen Q*bert. Most of the younger crowd would walk by and go "Who's that guy?" but we have a special love for that little orange blob. These two Billy and Steve pieces got a lot of attention as well, and sometimes it seems like The King of Kong will never go away.
Anyhow, after a full evening of art, 8-bit tunes, and a couple of beers from sponsor Colt .45 (complete with artistic cans), we were ready to stumble out onto Hollywood Blvd. to try scrounging for change in the gutter to buy some of our favorite pieces. If you're in Los Angeles, the show runs until September 7th at 6650 Hollywood Blvd., and is definitely worth stopping by.

Case 14446
Hydrophobicity, surface energy, adhesion strength
Deep-sea oil and gas exploration
Hydrates that form in deep-sea oil and gas exploration cause plugging of flow-lines, valves, etc leading to flow restrictions and catastrophic failures.
This invention proposes to reduce hydrate formation in deep-sea O&G exploration pipes by increasing the pipe hydrophobicity. It is found that hydrate adhesion decreases with surface energy, and tailoring acid base components of surface energy could further optimize surfaces for lower hydrate adhesion. Up to 5 times reduction in adhesion strength with low surface energy coatings was measured.

Colorado Adult Learning Symposium 2014:
DATE:Wednesday, July 30, 2014
LOCATION:Regis University,
North Denver (Lowell) campus |
Who Should Attend:
The Colorado Adult Learning Symposium is attended by higher education faculty and administrators, employers, workforce developers, non-profit organizations working with adult learners, and policymakers from around the state who are interested in improving opportunity and success for adults in Colorado.
This event is full and registration has officially closed. Please visit our webpage after the event to see highlights from the 2014 symposium.
Program Agenda
By 2018, over 65% of job vacancies in Colorado will require a postsecondary credential. Today, over 23% of Coloradans have some college, but no degree. What can you do to help them on the road to completion, to improve career prospects and secure a financial future? Come join as we gather to discuss innovative education pathways for Colorado's current and potential adult students.
Click here to download a .pdf of the full program.
Highlights from the 2013 Colorado Adult Learning Symposium
On July 29th My Degree Matters Colorado (MDMCO), the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Regis University, and CAEL held the first Colorado Adult Learning Symposium: Moving the Tassel.
- 186 participants from higher education, industry, community organizations, and the public sector gathered to discuss policy and practice for improved adult learning access and opportunity. Conversations centered on reverse transfer, competency-based education, veteran support, and assessment of prior learning.
- Lt. Governor Joe Garcia was the morning's keynote speaker, and reminded attendees that, "Adult learners are an increasing proportion of our population.... We need to have a world-class workforce to fill the jobs of tomorrow; [in Colorado] we'll have fewer jobs than any other state that require just a high school education."
- An opening panel, moderated by Dr. Geri Anderson, Vice President of the Colorado Community College System, set the stage for the day. Dr. Becky Takeda-Tinker, CSU Global; Dr. Chari Leader Kelley, CAEL; Alison Griffin, Miles Above Strategies; and Dr. Vicki Golich, Metropolitan State University of Denver gave an overview of adult learning in Colorado and across the country.
- A Town Hall, moderated by Dr. Roxanne Gonzales of Regis University, closed the session. Participants discussed maintaining momentum, potential next steps, and ideas for future events.

Match Report
Middlesbrough will need major surgery in the summer if they are to regain Premier League status after stumbling to a 1-1 draw with Coventry City.
Newcastle United and West Brom, who were relegated at the same time last year, have sailed back into the top flight but Middlesbrough have finished Championship also-rans after a disappointing and frustrating season.
Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson, who has bankrolled the club for a decade, issued a "We'll bounce back" message in the match programme.
Gibson wrote: "No-one at the club is under any illusions that this season has not been good enough. We are not happy to have missed out on promotion.
"The truth is, of course, that it's been a poor couple of years, especially after the success we enjoyed in the previous decade or so since moving to the Riverside.
"I know the last 24 months have not been good enough. But we are not about to lay down and die. No one here is feeling sorry for themselves.
"We are going to shrug off the disappointment, roll our sleeves up and work our socks off and make sure that next season is a big improvement on this one.
"I am absolutely committed and determined to bring top-flight football back to the Riverside. The club is geared for the Premier League and we will use the summer months wisely to ensure we are in a position to make a determined challenge for promotion."
Coventry City manager Chris Coleman will also be happy to see the end of this season.
The Sky Blues have not won for ten games and have slid down the table in recent weeks.
Coleman, no doubt, will also be eager to rebuild in the summer break.
The first half was goalless and disappointing though teenager Luke Williams showed flashes of skill for Middlesbrough.
Both teams sprayed passes around but there was a lack of individual flair and penalty area excitement a the game cried out for a goal and Middlesbrough were the first to respond.
After Brad Jones had rescued Middlesbrough with a double save, they hit back with Scott McDonald scoring with a shot following a left wing cross from Jeremie Aliadiere.
Coventry, however, were not to be denied and deserved an equaliser shortly after through the energetic Aron Gunnarsson.
The Sky Blues, in fact, came close to snatching a late winner but overall a draw was a fair result.

Alberta has the best solar and wind potential in all of Canada more than enough to power the entire province yet utilizes less than 1per cent of it. Alberta also has a highly skilled, trained workforce. Alberta has the welders, it has the electricians, it has the engineers, the machinists, it has all the people power it needs to make the solar powered leap.
The Alberta government is so fixated on extracting the destructive tar sands that it's missing out on Alberta's real potential. Rather that causing rising greenhouse gas emissions, countless treaty rights violations, incredible disturbances to land, air and water, the government could be a leader in clean energy solutions.
Fossil fuels, the writing is on the wall. Some countries are already powered by 100 per cent renewables, others are on their way. Our cars and transport are starting to be electrified and solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal are going up in communities around the world (Bangladesh is installing nearly two new rooftop PV systems every minute).
"First Nation communities, especially ones that are isolated and reliant on diesel for power, stand to benefit the most from a transition. These panels are an example of the type of solutions our communities should be implementing -- ones that create jobs, lower energy costs and don't hurt the environment to do it."
Frankly I think it's at least partially our fault as an environmental movement that this framing has stuck. We haven't focused enough on specific solutions over the years. We have opposed bad ideas like pipelines with vague notions of carbon taxes or non-specific alternative energy projects. We have rarely proposed or even broadly supported specific alternative projects.
Harper and Abbott have to understand that we can no longer have economies that exist outside of the ecological limits of our planet. Our reliance and exploitation of fossil fuels is endangering our future as well as our present and it needs to end. We need to transition to green energy and we need to keep more fossil fuels, especially high-carbon fuels like the tar sands, in the ground.
It makes you wonder how many other voices that complain about tar sands impacts are being ignored? Fort Chipewyan's calls for independent health inquiry, the cancer concerns in Fort Saskatchewan are just two, both recently echoed by the Edmonton Journal's editorial board; the fact that some doctors may not comfortable treating oil-symptom patients is another.
It was a Victoria day like any other until I found out the Canadian government has been vigorously spying on several Canadian organizations that work for environmental protections and democratic rights. My colleagues and I had been wary of being spied on for a long time, but having it confirmed still took the wind out of me.
There are moments in history when it becomes clear that our leaders are failing us. They are the moments when people from all walks of life need to dust off those placards, stand up and speak out. This is one of those moments. Canada is failing as a country to curb climate pollution. Under the Harper Conservatives, our country's climate performance has become the worst in the Western world. We cannot sit by and let them put our coast and our country at risk. On November 16, communities from across Canada will stand up to remind our elected officials that they work for us and not just the oil patch.
The largest onshore oil spill in US history -- Enbridge's ruptured Line 6B that released nearly 3 million liters of tar sands diluted bitumen into a tributary of the Kalamazoo River in Michigan -- finally has an official price tag: $1,039,000,000 USD. That's according to newly disclosed figures released by Enbridge in a Revised Application to expand another one of its pipelines, the Alberta Clipper.
Line 9 is a 38-year-old pipeline running between Sarnia and Montreal. It runs through 115 communities and under prime farmland, and crosses major river systems that flow into Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. A spill could put the drinking water of millions of Ontarians at risk. And a spill will happen.

Tuesday, September 18
SAFECO Field
Attendance: 12,608
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Chalk up another extra-inning win for the Baltimore Orioles, who outlasted the Seattle Mariners, 4-2, in 18 innings in the early hours Wednesday morning at Safeco Field.
The Orioles pushed the game past regulation when Chris Davis knocked in two runs in the ninth inning, and the bullpens took over until Seattle's finally blinked in the 18th.
It remained tied until Taylor Teagarden broke the string of eight consecutive scoreless innings with a pinch-hit RBI single, sending Baltimore to its 14th straight win in extra frames.
Tommy Hunter (5-8) stranded a runner in scoring position in both the 16th and 17th innings to earn the win, which moved the Orioles into a tie with the New York Yankees atop the AL East standings.
"That was incredible," said Hunter. "It was a long game, the guys came back, battled and the bullpen did it again."
The Mariners squandered plenty of opportunities to end a two-game skid, going 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position and stranding 16.
"We had so many opportunities, one more hit and the game's over, so it wasn't that we weren't creating opportunities, just nobody stepped up offensively," said Mariners manager Eric Wedge.
Lucas Luetge (2-2), in his second inning of relief, walked Nate McLouth to open the 18th, and a perfect hit-and-run resulted in J.J. Hardy singling through the infield to put runners on the corners.
Teagarden followed with a bloop single down the right-field line to score McLouth, and Hardy crossed the plate with an insurance run on Mark Reynolds' fielder's choice grounder later in the frame.
With very few fans left in the stands, Jim Johnson retired Seattle in order to pick up his league-leading 44th save and end the five-hour, 44-minute affair.
Baltimore has won three straight after dropping two in Oakland.
"It's a really important game," said McLouth. "It's hard to stay locked in for that long. We were lucky to scratch a couple across in the ninth after just a dominant pitching performance by their starter and things worked out our way in the last inning there."
The Mariners left a runner in scoring position in the 10th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th innings.
Miguel Olivo's two-run homer off Wei-Yin Chen in the fourth inning gave the Mariners a 2-0 lead that held up until the ninth.
Erasmo Ramirez cruised through eight innings, allowing just two hits. With a pitch count at 94, Wedge allowed the 22-year-old rookie a shot at finishing off his shutout.
But Ryan Flaherty's pinch-hit single and McLouth's base hit to open the ninth ended Ramirez's bid. With Tom Wilhelmsen on the mound, a sacrifice bunt moved both runners into scoring position, and Davis singled past a diving Dustin Ackley to bring in both runners and tie the game.

Nine mile beach
Dolph Inn Retreat beach access.
This family friendly beach house is located only 5 minutes from Swansea at Dolphin Sands on a 9 acre block of pristine natural bushland.
It is set back slightly from the road and is surrounded by mature Gum and Banksia Trees. Wildlife abounds with Black Cockatoos, Kookaburras, native bats, possums, echidnas and wallabies all frequenting the propery.
Access to the secluded Nine Mile Beach is by 2 different access tracks - one 200 metres from the beach house, the other is about 50 metres away.
This beach house has all the comforts of home and can accommodate up to 5 adults and 2 children. The master bedroom has a queen bed, a kids room with caravan sized bunk beds and a large bunk-room with a double bed and loft bed. The bathroom has an in bath shower and there is a separate toilet. The lounge room has a built-in fire place, 30 inch flat screen TV with USB connection, DVD player, stereo with CD's, radio and MP3 plug.
The fully self contained kitchen has a wood stove, bore and tank water supplied at the sink, servery bar, gas stove/oven, fridge and microwave. Dining room and table adjacent.
An undercover entertainment area sits between the house and the garage. This is a carpeted area with see through roofing which allows in the sun. Each end of this area can be opened up to the outside in summer which lets through a cool breeze. In winter the fire can be lit and the doors closed to make a snug and warm entertaining area large enough for two families.
All bed linen, blankets and doona's and bath towels are supplied if you require them, but you will need to bring your own beach towels.
Things to Do
Being centrally located on the East Coast, most attractions are within an hours drive of Dolphin Sands. These include the World Heritage listed Freycinet National Park
Maria Island, wineries, Kates Berry Farm and Spikey Bridge are all within easy reach. If you are up for a surf, or are looking for some crayfish, Bicheno is only 40 minutes north.
If you are a keen fisherman, Great Oyster Bay, which is bordered by Nine Mile Beach has excellent fishing, with Flathead, Whiting, Trumpeter and Bream plentiful. Launching sites are at either Swansea, Yellowbanks Road or the river mouth at the end of Dolphin Sands Road. The garage at the shack will easily fit a trailored boat for storage when not in use.
There are 2 adult bikes and 4 kids bikes and helmets at the property, so do what the locals do and go for a ride. Head to Cambria Drive and pull into the last access track. Leave the bikes at the end of the track near the beach. If the tide is low you can walk into Swansea for an ice-cream via the beach - it only takes 20 minutes. The shells at that end of Nine Mile Beach are amazing.
Or drive into Swansea as it is only a 5 minute drive away. It has some great restaurants that cater to all tastes - here's a link that has up-to-date reviews.
Swansea also has market days. The markets sell local produce, arts and crafts.
It may be a small town but it does have most things that you may require including General food stores, chemist, Doctors Surgery, newsagents, knick knack shops and specialty boutiques.

Has Anything Changed After Cup Tie?
Alan Pardew says the victory over Morecambe in the League Cup could be the turning point of the season. But was it ground-breaking in any way? It wasn't even the first team out there!
We were playing Fourth Division (if you're an old bugger like me who still uses the term) Morecambe ... and it took a hell of a struggle to beat them.
However, Pardew's problems can be eased by victory over Fulham today.
Newcastle were backed by 1,800 fans at the Globe Arena, who endured a long journey home to Tyneside after a less-than-convincing performance.
Pardew wants to reward them with the club's first Premier League win of the season this afternoon.
"I think the fans were brilliant against West Ham, and then at Morecambe," added Pardew.
"Yes, it was Morecambe's biggest crowd, but half of them were supporting Newcastle. I want to thank them for that.
"What we hope today is we repay that journey. It wasn't the best journey, or the best journey home. We need a win for them today."
