They do need to figure out the tackle position quickly. Id like to see either Long re-signed or Winston brought in. We can have the best skill position players, but they wont do any good if we cant protect Tanny. Hopefully Long signs since he left St Louis without a deal.
Marlon Moore though is a RFA and they like him because he can play on special teams too so you can count him among the guys we have currently. I know the one thing that I've read that the team wants is a big red zone target (think Oronde Gadsden). None of the guys I see out there would fit that and I think that means we will go with what we already have into next season unless they decide to trade/waive Bess. I like Mathews too from what I have seen and think he may develop into a guy that could replace one of Gibson or Bess by next yr.
I think the team is waiting on Long at this point to work out a deal with him first & foremost. If they can get him for around $8M for next season, that makes sense. And I think signing him to a 1 yr deal is the best choice so that he proves he's healthy and can get a long term deal if he does. That'll delay our need to make a move of Jonathan Martin to LT too.

'Inexpensive' may prove costly in litigious Singapore - The Australian

'Inexpensive' may prove costly in litigious Singapore
Eric Ellis, Singapore
THE sensitive little petals of Singapore are feeling it again.
The leading state-owned bank in a country whose political and
business elite have the world's most impressive record at winning
libel actions - albeit ones fought in their own courts - is taking on
US magazine BusinessWeek.
It's the city state's latest foreign press libel stoush and this time
the case centres on the use of the word "inexpensive". That's how
BusinessWeek described, in passing, a loan offer made by the
Singapore government-controlled DBS Group to a planned management
buyout of the government-owned steelmaker, NatSteel.
The apparently offensive word was contained in an otherwise
favourable article last September for Ho Ching, the eldest daughter-
in-law of political strongman Lee Kuan Yew, about how she's reforming
Singapore's raft of companies controlled by the state company,
Temasek Holdings.
At the time of the perceived libel, Ho's Temasek ultimately
controlled both DBS and NatSteel. Temasek and DBS have a common
chairman, Suppiah Dhanabalan, a long-time political ally of Lee.
The DBS suit, fought by prominent libel lawyer and an MP in Lee's
ruling People's Action Party, K. Shanmugam, alleges the
magazine "injured [the plaintiffs'] credit and reputation" and
brought DBS Group and DBS Bank into "public scandal, odium and
Singapore's elite, about whom it's said see defamation in a harsh
light, have fought, and beaten, The Asian Wall Street Journal, Time,
Asiaweek and Bloomberg, among other international names respected for
their accuracy and authority. A common link among these mastheads is
that each has operations in Singapore and are thus subject to
Singaporean penalties.
But a libel action is new ground for BusinessWeek, the magazine
selected by Singapore's leadership to portray its supposed reform of
its state sector. Its correspondent was given preferred access to
Singapore's leaders, who promoted a shake-up at Temasek, and defended
the suggestions of nepotism that followed Ho's appointment as the
most senior executive in Singapore Inc.
The powers-that-be seemed pleased enough with BusinessWeek's June
articles, which were subsequently reproduced in the state-controlled
media. The September article, essentially a follow-up to June's
favourable coverage, earned a libel suit, however.
Unlike Bloomberg, which last year quickly settled a $500,000 action
brought by Ho's husband and father-in-law, as well as Singapore Prime
Minister Goh Chok Tong, BusinessWeek said it will "deny each and
every allegation made in the statement of claim" by DBS Group and DBS
- Any one these days can promise the havens and the earth......but delivering on the promise is another thing altogether.
Some examples of unfulfilled promises....;
JUDGE MY GOVT BY ITS RESULTS: PM Goh Chok Tong
The Rhetoric
"The price of a good government is $34 million a year - just $11 per
Singaporean a year - or the cost of five plates of char kway teow per
- Straits Times, July 1, 2000
"A million dollars for a minister seems a lot when compared with the
salary of a worker. But $34 million for all the ministers and
political office-holders is a tiny drop when compared with the
increase in GDP that a good government can produce..."
- PM Goh Chok Tong, Straits Times, July 1, 2000
The Reality
The Singapore economy contracted by 2% in 2001 (Singapore Department
of Statistics). Singapore has undergone two recessions in three
years - 1998 and 2001. December 2001 figures show that 101,800
persons are unemployed.
The Rhetoric
"GLCs added only 12.9% to the Singapore economy, says BG Yeo. Smaller
companies need not worry about being edged out."
- Straits Times, February 24, 2001
"...there is a perception that GLCs dominate our economy...This is
not correct."
- MTI Minister George Yeo, Straits Times, Feb 24 2001
The Reality
"The government external economy constituted more than 50% of the
total external economy in 1998. If one takes into account the GLC-
owned external economy, then the government share balloons to some
60%. Foreign MNCs accounted for 29% whereas the local private sector
(excluding GLCs) owned 11%. It is therefore clear that if the
government and GLCs fail to secure a good return on their external
economy, the performance of the economy overall would be adversely
- Morgan Stanley report "Singapore's Investment Abroad 1997-1998"
"GLCs have evolved into major economic institutions that account for
over 60 percent of Singapore's GDP."
- US Embassy in Singapore economic report Sept 2000
"GLCs estimated contribution to GDP in 1998 of 12.9 per cent was not
- Singapore Department of Statistics, March 2001
The Rhetoric
"A worker in Singapore will cost $1000 per month or more, but there
is a bountiful stream of workers in China who will gladly work for
$100 per month ... that is why we should lower our wage costs."
- Labour chief Lim Boon Heng, Straits Times, June 17 2002
The Reality
"Singapore ninth most expensive city in the world."
- Economic Intelligence Unit, Jan 2001
A tale of two salaries
The Rhetoric
"This stingy government of ours is paying me only RM16,000 a month to
do two jobs."
- Malaysia's Prime Minister and Finance Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad,
Straits Times, 25 Nov, 2002
"A million dollars for a minister seems a lot when compared with the
salary of a worker. But $34 million for all the ministers and
political office-holders is a tiny drop compared with the increase in
GDP that a good government can produce."
- PM Goh Chok Tong, Straits Times, July 1, 2000
The Reality
"Malaysia's economy expanded by by 5.6 per cent in the third quarter."
- Straits Times, Nov 28, 2002
"Singapore may face its second recession in two years."
- Straits Times, Nov 19, 2002
The Rhetoric
"If you are Singaporean, you should stay on and fight and argue your
case and persuade more people to believe you and one day change the
policy, not opt out and leave because no policy is set in stone
- DPM Lee Hsien Loong praising J.B. Jeyaratnam as an example of
a "stayer", Straits Times, Oct 3 2002.
The Reality
"Look, Jeyaretnam can't win the infighting. I'll tell you why. WE are
in charge. Every government ministry and department is under our
control...I will make him crawl on his bended knees, and beg for
- Lee Kuan Yew on JB Jeyaratnam, 1981, as related by ex-President
Devan Nair in this article
During a 1986 inquiry into whether he had violated the Parliamentary
Privilege Act by questioning the integrity of judges, Jeyaretnam
asked Lee, "So you think I have to be destroyed?" Lee
replied, "Politically, yes."
The Rhetoric
"We all are one family."
- PM Goh Chok Tong, August 9, 2001
The Reality
Between 1998 and 1999, the average household monthly income of the
poorest 10 percent of the population decreased by nearly 50 percent
from $258 to $133. In the same period, the incomes of the richest 10
percent increased by 2.6 percent from $15,053 to $15,451.
The following year, the average household income of the poorest 10
percent fell by another 54 percent from $133 a month to $61. In the
same period, the incomes of the richest 10 percent increased by
another 8.8 percent.
The Rhetoric
"I believe we've got a responsible press. They are not ashamed of
what they are doing.."
- Mr Lee Kuan Yew on the press in Singapore.
The Reality
"Mediacorp TV has been fined $10,000 for airing "sexually suggestive
and offensive" footage from the sex-scandal video of Taiwanese
legislator Chu Mei-feng."
- Straits Times, Feb 23 2002
"Our dear opposition "rebel" Chee gets sued for defamation for asking
about the 10-billion dollar loan, is denied the right to speak up in
support of the Malays in the tudung issue, and gets only a few
minutes to speak on TV. Instead the current Miss World Wh*** Chu Mei
Feng got a whole half-hour slot on Channel U on Friday to highlight
her arrival in Singapore AND WAS GIVEN THE RIGHT TO PERFORM on stage.
What a joke Sillypore has turned out to be."

I've just signed up for BT Infinity, which gives me 38 (count 'em!) Meg of download... at the same time, capping me at a 40gig download. I don't do much downloading, just the occasional iPlayer episode. But I do a lot of online gaming (MoH mostly...), how does this impact on the download quotient? Am I using up several gigs every half hour I'm online?

Oh, I wish there was an Edit function on this forum!
What I meant to say was, the download speed is estimated at 38Meg... and I can download 40gig of data each month.

Found this elsewhere;
10KB x 60secs (1minute) is 600KB -- 1minute of play.
600KB x 60mins (1hour) is 36MB -- 1hour of play.
So if your always raiding (highest data usage) 1GB of data would give you 28 hours of play while in-combat, but thats always sustained peak download speed for every second, which doesnt happen.
So an hour gaming online uses less than a hour watching videos on Youtube.
So your 40GB limit should be more than enough.

Notes: If you'd rather not cut the wood yourself, lumberyards and home supply stores can cut the boards to your desired lengths for a modest fee. Choose urns tall enough (26 to 28 inches) to serve as table's base. We used strong, durable fiberglass urns. The height of the urns will determine both the height of the table and the height of the benches.
Set aside 11 of the 6-foot lengths of 2x4 boards for the tabletop. Measure, mark and cut two 38-1/2-inch lengths from remaining boards for table supports.
Arrange the tabletop boards on work surface with 2-inch sides touching and ends aligned. Clamp boards together across width if desired.
Measure and mark a line across width 12 inches from each end of boards; place a 38-1/2-inch table support perpendicular to tabletop boards at each line.
Drill a pilot hole through supports and each tabletop board (22 holes total). Screw pieces together to make tabletop.
Sand all surfaces. Wipe off dust with tack cloth. Apply two coats of primer to all surfaces of tabletop, letting dry, then lightly sanding and wiping off dust after each coat. Apply two to three coats of paint to all surfaces of tabletop, letting dry, then lightly sanding and wiping off dust after all but the last coat.
Place urns about 2-1/2 to 3 feet apart; center tabletop over urns between the supports.

Two Banks Figure Into Rescue of United
By RIVA D. ATLAS; Micheline Maynard contributed reporting to this article.
Published: July 1, 2004
The fate of United Airlines rests largely in the hands of its bankers at J.P. Morgan Chase.
Now that the government has firmly rejected United's request for more than $1 billion in loan guarantees, the airline will be asking its bankers at J.P. Morgan and Citigroup to fill the gap. The spotlight will shine brightest on J.P. Morgan, which has a history of rescuing companies viewed by the financial markets as hopeless cases, namely Lucent and Xerox. More recently, it was hired to arrange $8 billion loan to finance the exit from bankruptcy of Adelphia Communications, whose executives are on trial for accounting fraud.
With the completion today of J.P. Morgan's merger with Bank One, even more is riding on United's survival.
Bank One issues a credit card tied to United's frequent flier program, and the card is one of the most profitable of its kind, according to the Nilson Report, an industry newsletter. The bank has said it would suffer a big loss if United, which is a unit of the UAL Corporation, went out of business and it had to substitute another rewards program for those cardholders.
After the combination, J.P. Morgan will be the largest issuer of Visa and Mastercard credit cards based on card balances, said David Robertson, Nilson's publisher. The United credit card accounted for 10 percent of the two banks' outstanding card balances at the end of last year, he said.
James Dimon, the chief executive of Bank One who becomes president of the combined bank until taking over as chief executive in two years, can be expected to keep a close eye on the matter. ''Jamie is very interested in the outcome'' of the United bankruptcy, said one person involved in the airline's reorganization..Mr. Dimon has worked with the J.P. Morgan bankers before on difficult restructurings. When the bank was scrambling under a tight deadline to get a group institutions that included Bank One to agree to reschedule Lucent's debt in 2000, it called Mr. Dimon, who quickly agreed to participate in the deal.
United's effort to win federal loan guarantees was based on a $2 billion restructuring plan that at one point included $1.6 billion in government-backed loans and $400 million in outside capital. Analysts and industry executives believe the airline needs at least that much now and probably more because of rising jet fuel prices and stiff competition from low-fare airlines.
United, which said this week that it expected to borrow the money, may be forced to lure investors who will demand a stake in the airline. In the last major airline bankruptcy, at US Airways, Alabama's pension fund invested roughly $500 million in return for 37 percent of the airline and control of its board.
J.P. Morgan, along with Citgroup, is in no rush to raise new money for United. A $1.2 billion credit agreement arranged by the banks two years ago to fund United's operations during bankruptcy, known as debtor in possession financing, does not expire until December, an airline spokeswoman said. The loan, which has already been extended once, could be stretched out again, one banker said.
J.P. Morgan and Bank One originally committed to provide half that financing, but the credit has since been widely distributed to a group of 30 lenders, one person briefed on the financing said. As of March 31, the airline had drawn down only $362 million of the credit, a spokeswoman for United said.
''Our banks have been very supportive,'' she said.
One lender who acquired a piece of the debtor financing said that he had not heard from J.P. Morgan and Citigroup, and felt it was premature to worry about how the loan would be repaid. ''Nobody is rattling anyone's cage,'' another lender said.
United faces several hundred million dollars of cash pension payments between now and October 15. If it makes the payments its cash may fall below $1 billion -- the level it promised to sustain in exchange for the bankruptcy financing. The airline could ask the lenders to waive that requirement.
Meanwhile, another $300 million credit provided by Bank One and backed by the United credit card program has mostly been repaid, the spokeswoman said.
J.P. Morgan will probably wait until United has determined what costs it can cut, including wage reductions and revisions in its pension plans, before it begins to arrange a new financing package, said a bankruptcy adviser not involved in the deal.
''If I'm J.P. Morgan or Citigroup, at this point, I don't know what story I am selling,'' one banker said.
The company will have to persuade its bankers that it has a viable business plan that they can sell to a broad group of lenders and potential investors.
''Employees have no leverage, and the company doesn't have any either,'' one industry executive said.
The J.P. Morgan bankers leading the team on the United financing include James B. Lee Jr., a vice chairman of the firm with close ties to buyout firms that could invest in United, and William C. Repko, the head of its corporate restructuring practice.
''We continue to be in close discussions with United,'' a spokeswoman for the bank said, adding that she could not comment further on those talks.

You may remember my previous blog, which covered the subject of customizing your web site based on the location of the person visiting it. Itching for some more tech info for your website? Don't worry; I've got you covered.
Let's talk Spambots. The internet is full of these automated scripts that crawl around the web for any number of reasons. Some, like the crawlers from Google and Bing, are there to read content, store relevant data and analyze it for search results. Those are the friendly bots that you want to come visit.
However, there are a lot of other crawlers that you really don't want on your site. These evil bots may come to find email addresses to put on their spam lists, steal content or look for weaknesses in your code that allows them to cause damage.
The "good" crawlers can be taught. You can instruct these bots how to correctly crawl a site, telling it where it can go and where it can't–and they actually listen! These instructions can be given in a file named "robots.txt", or via meta tags at page level. Need details about instructing bots? Check out http://www.robotstxt.org/.
The bad crawlers, however, do not listen to instructions, and controlling them requires a much more heavy-handed approach.
Think that you may be bugged down by some evil bots? The first thing you need to do is identify these troublesome crawlers. This can be done by finding the name of the crawler, as all things crawling around out there have something called a "User Agent". This is the name or identity of the crawler, for example, Google's is called "GoogleBot". Most web analytic programs have a way to aggregate a list of the user agents that are visiting your web site. When you acquire this list, you can search the web for info on each user agent or visit a resource such as http://www.user-agents.org/ to learn about them.
Here are some I have used with varying level of effectiveness:
Perishable Press Blacklist:
A great blacklisting script that helps filter out not only known user agents, but also IP addresses and known malicious requests intended to find weaknesses in your server.
Stop Forum Spam:
A community driven project that holds a database of known spammers on web sites that allow user generated content.
A system that helps you control user-generated content providers and contact forums; it analyzes the content and accepts or rejects it based on signals that would indicate spam.
I hope my experience with these bots, both good and evil, will help you determine how to best handle your own crawlers!
What other sites have helped you manage spambots?

I have a question before I comment on anything. Lasura are you the user from Costa Rica?
O.o Costa Rica? No, i have no connection with Costa Rica as far as I know, why such an odd question?
Nevermind it's not important. Your emotions of you and your ex boyfriend seem a bit off how old are you guys 14 and 15?
It might not be that clear to those overcome by emotion at first, but there's a difference. Why do a good deal people who "love" one another at first fall apart later on, in a matter of years, months, weeks, and (gasp!) sometimes days? Could it be that they were lured into the "relationship trap" by emotions that turned out later on to be misleading? Recall that emotions can be irrational -- for instance, we could have fears of harmless things such as blankets, kittens, or eggs.
Stray, impulsive feelings could also cause people to do things they'd regret later on. An immense desire to possess something could lead someone to steal it; an intense hatred could lead to murder if left unchecked. And maybe the feeling of "luv" -- if misguided, could lead someone to want to possess someone as one would a toy or doll or pet, sexually or otherwise.
Love, not "luv", is something absolutely good, and that I'm absolutely sure of. And because it is only good, it follows that all truly loving actions should never have even a hint of malice to them.
Therefore, rape is not a loving act. And people who do love (not just the romantic variety) do not coerce others to "love" them back or at least stay with them in return. That's not being loving; that's being selfish.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
I still must disagree with you. By your theory, most people I know wouldn't even be capable of loving (my best friend, for example), by your theory I would have to admit that I have never loved before and that I neither love now. Love can't be perfect, it can't be "perfectly good", humans are still quite selfish, evne if I can truly say I would do as much as suffer for eternity for my bf, I know there will be times, when I feel mad at him, when I shout at him, when I pay too little attention to him, it's bad things to do, but it doesn't mean i don't love him. And, if my relationship with my current bf fails, I would die if I would be sticking with your theory and would have to say: "Then it wasn't love."
I broke up with my ex and I am still quite angry at him, but I still know I loved him very much and I still would die if it would save his life. I could never bare to say: "It wasn't love."
You must be either a very strong girl, or you must have had too litle serious relationships, if you can bare with it...
But lets stop talking about this, because we are surely getting too far from the topic...
As for Shodokan:
O.o No I am 18 and he must be... 21 now, i don't remember. Yes, I am quite childish. But I don't see how my emotions towards him can be childish... He simply is still into me, and I try to border myself as far away from him as I can just because of this reason.
I might have overexaggerated a bit when I said I've never talked to him after what happenned, because I have actually exchanged some e-mails with him, mostly simply to find out whether he's over me. But unfortunately he still hasn't found a girl and so I don't feel safe around him. Don't know what's childish about that- he hit me in the face! ^^ lol
If this still doesn't clear confusion, you could PM me telling why you think it's childish, because this is not the "why your emotions are a little bit off" thread
Nor did I say that human love must be perfect. I never said that, and I don't think we or anything we ever do will be perfect. However, to excel at something... now that's something humans can do.
And although your ex doesn't love you back, it is completely possible for you to love him. I didn't say that love must be exchanged for it to be love. Rather, it can be one-sided; that's what most people call "unrequited love".
Now here's something both you and I can agree on. Whenever you do scold your beau, you do so because you genuinely care for him, amirite? And when you do ignore him or mistreat him at times, mistakes such as those don't change the fact that you do love him, provided that you do love him.. Mistakes like those show that we're all imperfect, but they don't disprove the fact that you are very much capable of loving... or even excelling at it.
So there. You've given me so much to think about today... Thanks.
So much for our little aside into "obsession" and "love"... And back to the really bad stuff. If someone's willing to go back there, that is. Hehehehehe.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
Thanks everyone, for reading.
I think the more I can talk about it, the more people I can help.
I have moved on, though it's a struggle.
And yes, words actually do help. ^____^
Yes, some as little as 5. I think that bothered me more than my own rape. The fact that he hurt those little girls.
I wish more girls/women would come forward, to the authorities, that is.
For the record, I go to the bar all the time. I don't usually go alone, but if I do, I only have a few beers, and I'm in my regular bar, so everyone knows me. Also, wearing little or no clothes doesn't matter at all. I don't care if a woman is walking around naked, she does NOT deserve to be raped. EVER. Even hookers. If a hooker gets raped, everyone says, "Oh well, it was only a hooker." No, she's a woman first, and a hooker second.
At the trial for my rape, the defense attorney TRIED to say I was asking for it, because I was "flirting with him." ((Those weren't the exact words the creep used, but that's what he meant.
Needless to say, the trial didn't even last two days.
I don't like to really talk about it much.
I've come to terms with it myself, and that's all that matters for me.
I may have died that night, but I am been reborn into the strong woman I am today. ((How poetic lol))
Anyway, thank you all for reading and caring. ^___^
This is just what i think so don't take it personaly....If you see a girl getting raped or a guy bothering a girl and he touchs her and she tries to leave and he grabs her I say go kick that stupid motherf***kers a$$ and don't let up until the cops or someone else pulls you off of him (Thats wat i believe would be the right thing to do and i will do it the first time i get a chance because that is just plain unhonorable because when she says no than just give up and shut up because if you keep trying then your just screwing yourself over)

Good Vegan Recipes/Products?
I have somewhat recently become totally lactose intolerant — as in, no butter, no cheese, no yogurt, and nothing dairy. I'm totally opposed to relying on drugs to allow me to eat something my body clearly doesn't want to digest, so I've been experimenting with vegan cooking. It's been great thus far, but as the holidays approach, I've realized that I can't eat most of what everyone else in my family can because it relies so heavily on butter, cheese, and cream for flavoring. I'm old enough to bring a dish to pass, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any good vegan substitutes or recipes? I say good because I've tried some very bad vegan food substitutes, and don't want to venture down that road again. I've found a good vegan butter substitute in Earth Balance margarine, and I've heard you can use coconut milk for creams (but I haven't confirmed this). If you have a suggestion for a cookbook, even, I'm all ears. So ladies, any suggestions?

I've got a simple one to many relationship between tasks and priorities.
class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :subject, :body, :priority_id, :company_id, :status_id, :user_ids
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
belongs_to :priority
belongs_to :company
belongs_to :status
class Priority < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name
has_many :tasks
From my tasks/show.html.erb view
<%= @task.priority.name %>
This works.
However in my tasks/index.html.erb
<% @tasks.each do |task| %>
<%= task.subject %>
<%= task.body %>
<%= task.priority.name %>
<%= link_to 'Show', task %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_task_path(task) %>
<%= link_to 'Destroy', task, confirm: 'Are you sure?', method: :delete %>
<% end %>
The call to task.priority.name does not work.
It throws a NoMethodError.
I'm guessing this is a really stupid newbie mistake but I can't for the life of me figure it out. It would have assumed that the Active Record magic would have filtered down into a look like this.

Facing the risks
Gateway to be safest industrial project ever
CALGARY -- It comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone the federal government approved construction of the contentious Northern Gateway pipeline, a vessel that would carry Alberta's bitumen to hungry Asian markets.
These are the federal Conservatives, after all, who enjoy enduring popular support in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where healthy resource industries have almost single-handedly kept the national economy afloat while central Canadian manufacturing swoons.
Even so, approval was no cake-walk; it comes with a mind-boggling 209 conditions which, taken collectively, will make this the most regulated, environmentally sensitive and safest industrial project ever undertaken in this country.
Now things get interesting. Because we are about to find out whether a massive capital project -- one that is arguably vital to the long-term economic health of the country, that has been poked and prodded and turned inside out, that has won the carefully considered stamp of approval from the independent regulator -- can be forced on a city and province that have said they don't want it.
Think this approval was a whitewash? Let's consider a few of the facts behind the decision.
On the question of whether the people of B.C. were consulted, there have been 17,000 encounters with stakeholders and aboriginal groups, more than 400 community presentations; 80 open houses; 15 rounds of community advisory board meetings and more. Pipeline proponent Enbridge has committed to maintaining the engagement post-approval and will liaise constantly on environmental management and emergency preparedness.
On the regulator, the independent joint review panel reviewed 175,000 pages of evidence; heard from 80 expert witnesses and 1,100 Canadians. There were 180 days of hearings in 21 communities, resulting in the 209 conditions.
On environmental concerns, Northern Gateway has added $500 million in safety enhancements, including 20 per cent thicker steel for the pipe, additional isolation valves, and 24/7 staffing of remote pump stations. Nearly three-quarters of the pipeline's route is on previously disturbed land. In terms of habitat, Northern Gateway will restore four hectares of caribou habitat for every hectare disturbed. Enbridge has committed to leaving habitat better than the way it found it. And, for the first time in Canadian history, the scope was increased to encompass marine transportation and includes mitigation measures to minimize the impact on marine mammals.
There is more, much more, to what Enbridge has committed to do. And, if you want to accuse anyone of being disingenuous, how about the B.C. government, whose "five conditions" for approval have effectively been met, but it is still unsatisfied.
Nope, logic would tell you that this project has been examined like nothing in history. Will there be some disruption? Yes, there will. But B.C., the majority of the aboriginal communities, and the country will be better off with the pipeline than without. Those are the words of the regulator, not just me.
And yet the resistance is stiffened. Why? Because this isn't really about the pipeline at all. It's about what the pipeline would carry -- bitumen from Alberta's "dirty" oilsands.
As Erin Flanagan, of the Pembina Institute, said in a statement condemning the approval: "Approving pipeline infrastructure that incents further oilsands expansion is not in the public interest in the absence of credible regulations to curb the growth of carbon pollution from the sector."
Couldn't be clearer -- the opposition wants to stop Northern Gateway because it's a way to slow down the oilsands, not because the aboriginal communities don't all agree with it or because Kitimat, B.C., is worried about tankers in Douglas Channel. Those are mere sidebars to the main story.
Which explains why Enbridge could promise a new Eden, gilded with community and social benefits that would reshape the economy of central B.C. -- wait! Isn't that what it did? -- and still it wouldn't be enough to convince the anti-oilsands warriors to lay down their arms.
And so, we're headed to the courts. And the blockades. The next couple of years will be a powerful test of wills.

TwistVolt turns the power strip into modern art
By Dave LeClair
April 11, 2014
Power strips are very functional devices that allow people to expand the capabilities of an outlet by plugging in more stuff. However, most are not pretty, designed with function over form. TwistVolt is aiming to fix that, but offering a device that offers just as much functionality as a traditional power strip, but with a form that looks more like a piece of modern art than a device designed to simply offer some extra outlets.
The aim for Michael Schroeder, the creator of the TwistVolt, was to make a power strip that was functional, offering all of the outlets and USB ports that one could need, while making it look cool enough that buyers would actually want to place it on their desk instead of hiding it somewhere. It's not the first device to try to clean up the adding of more outlets, with devices like the PowerCube coming before, but this one does it on a larger scale.
It's built with a series of joints that rotate 270 degrees, allowing the user to tweak it into all kinds of positions and styles. This creates a stylish design, but of course, once you start plugging in a slew of cables, some of that nice look is going to go away with wires running all over the place.
As far as the actual power goes, it offers both standard home outlets and 5 amps of USB power for powering and charging multiple devices at one time. The pivoting joints are not just for looks, as they allow the user to have a device charging in the USB port without blocking any of the regular outlets, thus maximizing the amount of devices that can be plugged in at one time.
TwistVolt's creator is seeking funding on Kickstarter. It's still in the early stages of its funding period, but it's a ways away from its US$125,000 goal. The prices for backers vary depending on the number of outlets and USB ports needed, with the cheapest starting at $49 for six AC outlets and 0 USB ports. The most expensive will set backers back $129 for six AC and eight USB ports. Estimated ship time to backers is December 2014.
The Kickstarter pitch video below provides more information on the TwistVolt.

Looks like a great design/concept and I would definitely buy one... IF they were also available with Australian outlets.Jarris Fuller

Mushroom ID?
I found this group of mushrooms in my neighborhood and couldn't resist taking pics. Anyone know what it is, I haven't seen this type before.
It seems to me that it resembles Coprinus comatus. this one grows over straw, corn silages and similar materials. It only stay in shape for a few hours, then it soon liquify and becomes a mass of ink. When still white it is considered a delicacy, and it can be easily cultivated as many companies sell the mycelium (Fungi Perfecti for instance).
But eahamel please, don't be tempted and eat the wild ones unless you are sure of their identity
I looked it up, and yes, it does look a lot like that. That cluster was there for at least 4 or 5 days, though. Don't worry, I wouldn't eat it! It was in a public use park near my house. Close to a baseball field, by a roadway, and I don't think anything has been put on that grass in a long time, if ever. There's very little landscaping in that park and no wild areas.
