Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon

Flags were lowered to half-mast across South Africa as people in black townships, in upscale mostly white suburbs and in the vast rural grasslands united in mourning Nelson Mandela, celebrating a remarkable life with dance and song, and pledging to adhere to the values of unity that he embodied.
The anti-apartheid leader will be buried on Sunday, December 15, at his rural home in Qunu, and a memorial service in a Johannesburg stadium will be held on Tuesday, December 10, President Jacob Zuma announced.
Mandela's body will lie in state at government buildings in Pretoria from Wednesday until the burial, and this coming Sunday will be a national day of prayer and reflection.
On Friday, the country's 52 million people absorbed the news that the statesman, a global symbol of reconciliation and peaceful co-existence, had departed forever.
Hours after Mandela's death on Thursday night, a black four-wheel-drive vehicle containing his coffin, draped in South Africa's flag, pulled away from his home after midnight, escorted by motorcycle outriders, to take the body to a military morgue in Pretoria, the capital.
Many South Africans heard the news, which was announced on state TV by Zuma wearing mourning black just before midnight, upon waking on Friday, and they flocked to his home in Johannesburg's leafy Houghton neighbourhood. One woman hugged her two sons over a floral tribute.
A dozen doves were released into the skies.
A man walked around with a tall-stemmed sunflower. People sang tribal songs, the national anthem, God Bless Africa - the anthem of the anti-apartheid struggle - and Christian hymns.
Many wore traditional garb of Zulu, Xhosa and South Africa's other ethnic groups. One carried a sign saying: "He will rule the universe with God."
Expecting an influx of mourners, a man sold flags and paraphernalia of Mandela's political party, the African National Congress, or ANC. Portable toilets were brought in.
One of the mourners, Ariel Sobel, said he was born in 1993, a year before Mandela was elected president.
"What I liked most about Mandela was his forgiveness, his passion, his diversity, the pact of what he did," Sobel said.
"I am not worried about what will happen next. We will continue as a nation. We knew this was coming. We are prepared.''
For South Africa, the death of its most loved leader comes at a time when the nation, which basked in global goodwill after apartheid ended, has been experiencing labour unrest, growing protests against poor services, poverty, crime and unemployment and corruption scandals tainting Zuma's rule.
'The gift of Madiba'
Many see today's South Africa - the continent's biggest economy but also one of the world's most unequal - as still distant from the Rainbow Nation ideal of social peace and shared prosperity that Mandela had proclaimed on his triumphant release from prison in 1990.
"I feel like I lost my father, someone who would look out for me," said Joseph Nkosi, 36, a security guard.
Referring to Mandela by his clan name, he added: "Now without Madiba I feel like I don't have a chance.
"The rich will get richer and simply forget about us. The poor don't matter to them. Look at our politicians, they are nothing like Madiba."
In a church service in Cape Town, retired archbishop Desmond Tutu and fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate said Mandela would want South Africans themselves to be his "memorial'' by adhering to the values of unity and democracy that he embodied.
"All of us here in many ways amazed the world, a world that was expecting us to be devastated by a racial conflagration,'' Tutu said, recalling how Mandela helped unite South Africa as it dismantled apartheid, the cruel system of white minority rule, and prepared for all-race elections in 1994.
In those elections, Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison, became South Africa's first black president.
"God, thank you for the gift of Madiba,'' said Tutu in his closing his prayer, using Mandela's clan name.
In Mandela's hometown of Qunu in the wide-open spaces of the Eastern Cape province, relatives consoled each other as they mourned the death of South Africa's most famous citizen.
Mandela was a "very human person" with a sense of humour who took interest in people around him, said FW de Klerk, South Africa's last apartheid-era president.
The two men negotiated the end of apartheid, finding common cause in often tense circumstances, and shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Hometown remembers
Mourners also gathered outside Mandela's former home on Vilakazi Street in the city's black township of Soweto. Many were singing and dancing as they celebrated Mandela's life.

The liberation struggle icon's grandson, Mandla Mandela, said he was strengthened by the knowledge that his grandfather was finally at rest.
"All that I can do is thank God that I had a grandfather who loved and guided all of us in the family," Mandla Mandela said in a statement. "The best lesson that he taught all of us was the need for us to be prepared to be of service to our people."
"We in the family recognise that Madiba belongs not only to us but to the entire world. The messages we have received since last night have heartened and overwhelmed us,'' the grandson said.
Zelda la Grange, Mandela's personal assistant for almost two decades, said the elder statesman inspired people to forgive, reconcile, care, be selfless, tolerant, and to maintain dignity no matter what the circumstances.
"His legacy will not only live on in everything that has been named after him: the books, the images, the movies," she said.
"It will live on in how we feel when we hear his name, the respect and love, the unity he inspired in us as a country, but particularly how we relate to one another,'' she said in a statement.

8 Artists You Won't Believe Were Once Considered Heavy Metal
Read more…
From their earliest tours onward, Kiss's Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons prided themselves on selecting their opening acts. So for all the shock and awe properly heaped upon Kiss for their larger-than-lust, louder-than-life concert spectaculars, one aspect that gets overlooked is the group's peerless skill as talent scouts.
Many singers have gone back to the classroom and lived out their good school girl gone bad fantasies in their music videos. We've seen ladies channel their inner naughty school girl, ripping off the plaid skirts and ties and definitely risking a detention. In P!nk's "Don't Let Me Get Me" we get an up close and personal look inside the locker room, and in Bon Jovi's "Runaway" a school girl in a white button up uniform unknowingly becomes part of a wet t-shirt contest.
Cinco De Mayo is a time to party down, which for most of us means a plate of nachos washed down with a Corona in a coworker's backyard. But the folks at Hard Rock were kind enough to send us South of the Border to celebrate the Mexican holiday with a real life rock legend: Jon Bon F–king Jovi!
Plenty of music artists know how to push boundaries sonically, but what happens when they take us to the edge visually? Which artists have bent our perceptions with optically daring album art?
They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and we really have to hand it to these folks who make a living performing the songs of their favorite artists. They've learned the parts, totally nailed the voice, got the gestures down, and even whipped up a cool costume. But even the best rock doppelgangers need one crucial thing: a killer name! It's gotta be funny, punny, and a tribute to their heroes. If you've got that, you've got it made.
Lately we've been talking an awful lot about the hazards associated with being a world-renowned musician, and it kind of bummed us out. But then Billboard published its annual list of the highest earners in music, which reminded us that being a rock star is actually really awesome.
There's gonna be some partying today in New Jersey, because today is the birthday of one of its favorite sons No, NOT Bruce Springsteen -it's Jon Bon Jovi! The arena rock legend turns 52 today, and the crazy part is…he looks younger than we do! There's definitely a reason he won the honor of being named the Sexiest Music Man Under 40 (by a whopping 46 percent). He hasn't changed a bit from when he first burst onto the scene with the rest of Bon Jovi nearly thirty years ago. Don't believe us? Head up to the mega-gallery above and check out the hair, the ripped jeans, the gorgeous models, and other hallmarks from his '80s heyday!

Harry Potter, I finally finished, did anyone save those threads?
Yeeeehaaaaaa! I finally finished all the books. Finished Half Blood Prince this morning. So.... those old Harry Potter threads, the ones where Ivette convinced me to give these books a look.... did anyone save them? Now that I'm done I'd love to read everyone's comments!
Well, I admit I actually listened to them on CD (I just don't have as much time to read as I used to!) and that a major part of my enjoyment of the first couple of books was due to the way they were read, including the wonderful voice characterizations. Jim Dale who recorded the books won some awards, and he deserved them!
Definitely the later books were more intriguing in subject matter and the way they were written to appeal to older kids and adults.
In any case, I have loved "reading" these books and look forward to the next one. We've followed Harry from being a little kid really, to now being at the point where, being forced to take control of his own life, he's prepared to do exactly that. An excellent example for today's youth!
Yay! Lowspark!
I'm SO glad you enjoyed them. How 'bout that last one HUH?? I still have my theory and I'm stickin to it. Let's start ruminating! I'll check in as often as I can (which ain't often these days). I haven't even had time to re-re-read them. sigh. By the way, Mugglenet says that the new movie is coming out in Summer 2007. Still NO word on the new book. There's a rumor about July 07, but who can tell.
I was so upset after finishing the last one that I flung it across the room! I'm wondering if your theory is the same as mine (which is shades of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings). Please share your theory! I only recently discovered the conversations area & never read the original thread.
I didn't read (or see) the Lord of the Rings series so I can't guess at your idea Nina. However, I think that the author sort of wanted us to be upset and shaken up, yes? What clearly started out as children's books was meant to grow up as the fans of the first books grew up. We (in America) are used to and expect happy endings. If you've ever watched foreign films, you'll notice that happy endings aren't necessarily the norm in other countries.
Sometimes we're meant to be left feeling uncomfortable, disappointed, upset, confused, etc. Because that's how life really is.
The way the half-blood prince unfolded and ended, to me, was much more satisfying than the previous books. Each of those books wrapped everything up in a nice package with a nice bow. This book leaves us in a state of turmoil, just as Harry must be.
check out this website:
(my daughter is COMPLETELY into HP right now and is just singing her favorite song as we speak, "Double Double Toil and Trouble", which I took the "trouble" to transcribe from the DVD. What a mom...)
Here is a link that might be useful: you'll laugh when you see the URL name
Lowspark, you're right. Being a grown up stinks! :-) And the previous books, while I enjoyed them very much, were tending towards being formulaic in that Harry is convinced of something, everyone turns against him & in the end Harry is vindicated but I definitely see your point in that the books are getting more grown up as the readers (and characters) do.
OK, I never managed to make it through the LotR, books or movies but after watching the first movie (and having read the first book of the trilogy aaaaages ago) I had a bit of a Q&A session with my husband who had devoured the LotR series. So in case anyone reading this thread hasn't finished the Half Blood Prince please skip the rest of this post.
In the first LotR book the Wizard Gandalf the Grey dies
only to return in a later book as Gandalf the White. I'm wondering if Dumbledore will do the same, especially since he had gone to great lengths to emphasize how implicitly he trusted Snape & since Snape was the one to ultimately "kill" him.
Granted JK Rowling tends to be anything but predictable so it's unlikely that I should be able to "predict" much of anything.
More often than not in my life I've been left feeling disapointed, confused, uncomfortable, etc. I'm getting a little tired of it! I'm a voracious reader & most of what I read doesn't end up with happy endings tied up neatly with a bow.
Flyleft, I agree. There are many references to Fawkes in the last book, and remember at Dumbledore's funeral that it looked like a phoenix shot into the sky? I brought that up on the last threads we had on this, and I still think this is going to develop into something. The father-figure coming back from the dead is a recurring theme, from the LOTR to Star Wars (Obi Wan Kenobi comes back in ghost form) and I'm sure lots of classics of which I am unaware. So maybe it's a red herring, but I doubt it.
Another thing discussed on the last thread was whether Harry might be a horcrux. I'm not sure where I stand on that one.
If Dumbledore comes back (to life) that will ruin the books for me. The only way I can see Dumbledore lending any more help to Harry is through a portrait.
At this point, it seems to me that Harry is sort of saying, ok, every adult whom I've loved is gone. Now, I have to be the adult. I have to let go of childish things and take control over my own life.
For me, if he's ever going to beat Voldemort, he has to take control of his own life and stop depending on adults to lead him. Thus, Dumbledore's death makes perfect sense. Every adult who can or could have helped him is gone.
Harry is about to come of age. He's going to take control and go after Voldemort using his own wits. And that's the perfect next step, Harry, as an adult, figuring things out, doing what he thinks is right, to triumph good over evil.
I don't know about the phoenix, have to think about that. As far as Harry being a horcrux, that would mean Harry would have to die in order for Voldemort to die, but since Harry has to kill Voldemort and no one else can, that makes it a paradox meaning Voldemort will win. I doubt that.
Dumbledore will NOT come back to life. The dude is dead. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. :) Falkes or no Falkes. He doesn't NEED to come back to help Harry, remember his picture is in the headmaster's (now headmistress') office. He can just go talk to him there if he really needs to.
My theory is that Snape is NOT bad, that this was all a master plan between Dumbledore and Snape. Please, Dumbledore grovel? I don't believe it. I won't believe it. They knew what they were doing. Dumbledore knew all along what had to happen. Why it had to happen is beyond me at this point.
Let's see what else? I'm already starting to forget things. Oh yes, RAD or whatever those initials were I think has to be Sirius' brother. Which is very interesting, and of course, the item in question (which now escapes me was it a necklace?) was previously seen in Sirus' house. JEEZ! How soon I forget.
So the BIG theory that everyone is arguing about is whether or not Harry is actually a horcrux. I do not believe he is for several reasons, not the least of which is it's too easy and also Voldemort was unable to possess him in book V and if he was one of his horcruxes why wouldn't he have been able to?
Here's another theory I have: I think Snape has some connection to Lily, not like blood or anything, but the whole Lily is good at potions thing and his hatred/envy/whatever for James Potter is just too much (even if James was a jerk to him, which he was). So I believe that Snape was in love with Lily or had some other kind of bond to her. She never reciprocated, but that doesn't matter. Perhaps they even had an unbreakable vow or something. I got the distinct impression when he was making the vow with what's her name (Malfoy's mother) that he had done this before. I think that unbreakable vow or whatever his link is to Lily is the reason why Voldemort hesitates in the FIRST place before he kills Lily. And that leads to everything else. Remember, we're told repeatedly that the only reason Harry is alive is because his mother died FOR him. She was given the CHANCE to get out of the way, and refused. This is critical. James was killed instantly and has nothing to do with it. But why on earth did Voldemort give Lily ANY type of chance? The man is ruthless, he doesn't give chances! What's up with that?! I'm telling you, Snape has something to do with it. Snape will be the big hero in the end.
There, those are my theories!!!
This is SO much fun! If only I hadn't signed up for design school, I could re-read Harry Potter instead of the environmental responsibilities of an Interior Designer!!!
Snape was just doing what Dumbledore told him to do...and he is a hero.
It has been awhile since I read the book--but HOW do we know Dumbledore ACTUALLY died? Harry never gets to see the body...remember? He gets hustled off. Ever see the Bond movie "You Only Live Twice"? And while Dumbledore is in his portrait, he's sleeping. Aren't all the other portraits animated at times?
I think you can read it either way...
msjee, exactly! The body is hustled away, and at the funeral it is all wrapped up. Maybe Dumbledore is a Phoenix animagus? Could that be possible? I also think Dumbledore and Snape had this planned, to protect Malfoy from having to choose whether to kill Dumbledore. So Dumbledore had time to plan how to protect himself. And the allusions he makes to Fawkes all the time are too much to be coincidental.
I'm not convinced this all means that Dumbledore will be back full force, but maybe in some alternate way.
Dead characters coming back to life smacks of soap opera cop outs to me. And I'd like to know why we're all crying in our soup over Dumbledore -- did we also cry over Sirius? Yes, I know Sirius wasn't quite as near and dear to us as Dumbledore but he was certainly near and dear to Harry who was devastated at his death. AND there was no body there -- and in fact no funeral or memorial service.
Yes! I tend to agree with you, and throughout the book, even though all the evidence from the unbreakable vow onward pointed to Snape being bad, I kept thinking that there had to be something beyond what we were being told. So when he killed Dumbledore, for a moment I did wonder if Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him. Why was Dumbledore saying "Please" to Snape? Please what? Please show mercy OR Please kill me as we've previously agreed.
Let's face it, Dumbledore is wandless, weak, surrounded by death eaters. He is GOING to die. Clearly Malfoy's not going to do it. But those other death eaters, they are fully prepared to kill Dumbledore. Even if it were the case that Snape wanted to save him, could he have? Couldn't there have been a previous agreement between Dumbledore and Snape that he was to kill him?
Remember, Snape is seen by Hagrid arguing with Dumbledore about an important task which Snape has agreed to carry out, saying that Dumbledore took "too much for granted," and that there was something that he was no longer willing to do. Dumbledore insists that it was agreed and must be done. What was that task? Was it to kill Dumbledore?
Some interesting points:
-- Snape is a half-blood. (So is Harry, so is Voldemort)
-- The memories that Snape puts in his pensieve which he doesn't want Harry to see, I sort of wondered about those. Why THOSE memories? Yes, they're personal private stuff, but really, Snape clearly has some memories that he would have wanted to hide from Harry, overhearing the prophecy for one, any of his dealings with Voldemort for another. Could it have been that he'd wanted Harry to see those memories for some reason? Purposely put them in that pensieve and left Harry alone with them?
-- Connection between Snape and Harry -- as Ivette points out. Yes, I agree about that too. Even from the first book it's clear that Snape takes care of Harry - remember how he protects Harry from Professor Quirrell in that Quidditch match in the first book? Why bother if he's the bad guy? No one could have blamed Snape if he'd not stepped up to protect Harry, he did that on his own. He also stops a crucio curse from hitting Harry just as they're escaping from the castle in toward the end. Again, why bother?
lowspark, in the last thread we discussed the deal between Dumbledore and Snape and I think many agreed that their deal was that Snape would kill Dumbledore.
As for "grieving" for Sirius, while Sirius meant a lot to Harry, he was not nearly the powerful wizard that Dumbledore was. And Sirius was more of a brotherly figure to Harry than a fatherly figure. Dumbledore symbolizes so much more than Sirius in these books, and he had so much more to teach Harry and knowledge that he was not able to pass on before he died. Sirius wasn't keeping any secrets.
Oh, and re: the necklace horcrux: our last theory was that it was the locket that was found in Sirius' house when they were all cleaning it.
Remember how Dumbledore was getting weak at the end, and he had that thing going on with his hand? I think he was doing something to prepare himself for being "killed."
I'm going to have to reread the last book. There are so many things I've forgotten.
If I may...
I was shocked when Sirus was killed but it didn't provoke the reaction that it did when Dubledore was. Maybe because we haven't spent as much "time" with Sirius as we have with Dumbledore? Sirius was in, what, 2 of the books? One of which he spent as an escaped prisoner & object of terror? Dumbledore has been there from the very first book & has always been supportive of Harry.
And FWIW I always kinda liked Snape (even before he was Alan Rickman...rowrrrr...), I felt like the author was going out of her way to paint him as mean in the later books.
I really wish I had the time to sit down & re-read them all again. They're long packed by now.
Alan Rickman (who is awesome) only recently grew on me as Snape, in the latest movie. To me, he will always be Colonel Brandon!
Yes lowspark! And also, how many times could Snape have killed Harry as he was chasing him away from Hogwarts after Snape killed Dumbledore?? (he's dead, he's dead, he's SO dead). He could have killed him like six times, and instead he's giving him pointers. I mean, was he mocking him? saving him for Voldemort? enjoying Harry's misery? Sure, that's possible, but I don't think so. he didn't kill him because he didn't want to.
Exactly. And what's more, not only could he have killed him during that escape, even if he was saving him for Voldemort, he could have taken him as prisoner and delivered him to Voldemort.
Regarding Dumbledore, I never had any doubt that Dumbledore was dead after finishing the book till I read thoughts here that he'd come back. But the more I think about it the more convinced I am that he is indeed dead.
Like I said above, coming back from the dead is sort of a cheap cop out -- and JK Rowling doesn't seem to write that way. She seems to me to just sort of lay out the story as it happens, no excuses no regrets. I just can't see her bringing back Dumbledore just to asuage our sad feelings.
I have to agree with you Lowpark, Dumbledore's not being dead would just be silly in my opinion. I mean, I like him as much as everyone else and was STUNNED, but now I think it was a great plot twist and I'd hate it if she undid it. Then again, I suppose Rowling is certainly clever enough to come up with some great way to bring him back that we haven't thought of and would like. But boy, it'll be a hard sell for me.
What I am really excited about is the first part of the next book, when Harry goes back to Godric's Hollow, I want to see what that place is like and what he learns there. I also can't wait to get more info on Lily and Snape. They're the two big mysteries to me. We seem to know everything we want to know about about Harry, and Voldemort.
Oh and I LOVE Ginny and Harry. I just think they're adorable together. But I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.
What I can't puzzle out is the prophecy. If Harry kills Voldemort does that mean that Harry has to die too? Or no? I can't tell you how many people I know are convinced that Harry will die in the next book, successful or not. Jeez, I hope not. That seems like a totally wrong ending for this series, and not just because it's a children's series. I dunno, maybe it's just me. Alot of them also think that Snape will kill Voldemort, but that seems to go completely against the prophecy.....
I agree -- I thought Ginny & Harry belonged together from the first moment they met so I'm very happy they finally connected.
I cannot imagine that Harry will die -- he's the hero. I agree, it would be totally wrong. I thought the prophesy was that the only way for either of them to die was for one to kill the other. But I didn't take that to mean that if one dies, the other one will too. It seems to me that book 7 will be the story of Harry hunting down the remaining horcruxes and coming face to face in a duel with Voldemort as the climax.
I agree also about looking forward to "seeing" Godric's hollow. I'm sure there will be very interesting things to be revealed when Harry arrives there. I'm waiting to find out who R.A.B. is and if they really did destroy that horcrux.
Any interest in discussing character names? Since I didn't follow the first thread, I don't know if this has already been discussed.
I found it interesting that certain characters were given names odd names and others were given common names.
All the characters who have Latin names ending in "us" -- all those names have a meaning:
Albus = white
Rubeus (Hagrid) = red
Sirius is the brightest star of the constellation Canis Major, the Greater Dog, Sirius Black = Black dog
Remus Lupin - Remus of legendary Romulus and Remus, twins nursed by a she-wolf (Lupa means she-wolf)
Argus (Filch) - Argus is a monster with a hundred eyes
Severus = Severe
Bilius (Ron's middle name) = peevish or ill-natured
Lucius = bringer of light
Regulus = prince or heart of the lion, it's the bright star in the constellation Leo
Some other interesting names:
Harry (from Harold meaning Army Ruler)
Hermione (earthy)
Ronald (Advisor to the king)
James (means supplanter)
Lily (the flower?)
Draco = dragon (or serpent), also means cruel or severe
Bellatrix = female warrior
Pettigrew = small growth
Fleur Delaceur = flower of the heart
Tom = twin
Narcissa = vanity, callousness and insensitivity
Phineas (nigelus) = loudmouth
As for Voldemort -- well mort means dead or death, and the only meaning I could find for Vold is that it means violent in Danish. Could = violent death?
Anyway, I think a lot of these names are very interesting any comments?
lowspark, fun list! I would just correct the spelling of coeur ("heart" in French), and offer that Vol de Mort, in French, can mean "flight from death" or "theft of death"...here's a Wikipedia entry on it below.
I was really interested to read Ron's middle name. I see him as an "everywizard" but he sure does have his moods...I wonder if the moods will play a bigger role in the last book..
And here's one cite on the significance of the Lily: "In Christian symbolism the lily represents purity, chastity, and innocence." Just googled "Lily significance".

Plans for world spelling bee put on hold
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 2:08pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Spelling Bee is putting plans for a world bee on hold.
The E.W. Scripps Company announced last year that it was considering an international competition. But on Wednesday, Scripps said it has "no immediate plans" to launch a world bee.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee has included international participants since 1976. A girl from Jamaica won in 1998.
Preliminary plans had called for competing countries to hold their own national bees and for the world bee to feature teams of three spellers from each nation. That would mean limiting the field at the National Spelling Bee to U.S. residents only.
Spelling bee director Paige Kimble says the world bee remains in the company's long-term plans and that more than 60 countries have expressed interest in participating.

I got my 8gallon today. It's pretty cool. I'm going to drill out the lid for an airlock soon here. I'm a little concern about the plastic seam in the bottom. Looks like bacteria heaven with all those little spots. Are your two like that also?
There is a seam, it's relatively smooth. Drilled out for airlock already thinking of putting a spigot too. Going to do a 6.5 gal low gravity brew in it Sat. I'll post here to let you know how it comes out.
I think the spigot is going to go where the date stamp is. I'll be brewing a batch Sunday
No spigot on this yet, wanted to put one kind of like the spiedel (sp?) fermenters but can't find what I want.... Doing a Pliny the Toddler (4.7abv) now
any update on success or failure yet?
I bottle my batch on Sunday. It works. I cracked it open and got a face full of co2. I like the handles. 6 gallon apa with American ale yeast. I just used an airlock no blowoff tube. I will be doing a hefe in mine next.
I'll be buying another one.

Wynne blames Harper for blocking constructive relations between Ottawa, provinces
As the premiers head to P.E.I. for their annual gathering, the federal government, and in particular Prime Minister Stephen Harper, will loom large on the agenda.

Share via Email
Premier Kathleen Wynne says it's difficult to get things accomplished nationally when Prime Minister Stephen Harper stands in the way of constructive relations between the provinces and Ottawa.
As the premiers head to P.E.I. next week for their annual gathering to discuss matters of common concern, the federal government, and in particular Harper, are expected to loom large on the agenda.
"Stephen Harper has chosen to deal with the . . . provinces one at a time as opposed to dealing with us in any kind of collective way," Wynne, outgoing chair of the Council of the Federation, told the Star Friday.
While the provinces will undoubtedly discuss the need for a national infrastructure strategy, Ottawa has made it clear that balancing the federal books supersedes sending more money to the provinces at this time.
"I would prefer if Stephen Harper would come to the table and meet with the premiers as a group and hear our vision on a whole range of issues. I think that would be better for the country and I think it would be better for each of the provinces," the premier said.
"As long as he chooses not to do that then there are going to be issues where we have conflict as a province," she said, adding she can only surmise that Harper's divide-and-conquer tactic is designed for him to somehow come out on top.
Wynne has called for $12 billion a year in infrastructure funding from the federal government — more than four times what Ontario gets now — and reiterated that provinces need "stable and predictable" aid on that front to upgrade transit systems, roads, bridges, water and sewage treatment facilities.
Finance Minister Joe Oliver has scoffed at the request, saying Ottawa has been more than generous in its spending on infrastructure projects in Ontario.
Wynne said all Canadians benefit when Ottawa and the provinces work together.
"I think a national vision (is important) on how we are going to advance our economic well-being. I think a Canadian energy strategy is a very important part of that national vision and we will be talking at the meeting of the premiers about a Canadian energy strategy," she said.
Wynne said provinces all have their problems finding the money for ever-increasing infrastructure needs.
"It doesn't matter whether you are in the Northwest Territories where there are 300 fires burning or whether it is flooding in Alberta, flooding in Manitoba, tornadoes in Ontario, every province is dealing with infrastructure that is necessary in order to deal with climate change for example," she said.
"So having a national discussion about predictable, stable infrastructure investment (is) something that would be in the national interest."
Wynne noted there will be a meeting in Charlottetown with national aboriginal leaders before the premiers' meeting to discuss ways to support the First Nations.
"That is an important national discussion and again it's one that the Prime Minister hasn't engaged with us on as premiers and in fact has pushed back," she said, noting his refusal to hold a national inquiry into Canada's missing and murdered aboriginal women.
Wynne said despite the fact that Harper seems to be at war with Ontario in particular, "I will never give up trying to have a rational and collegial discussion with the federal government, no matter what their response is."
Wynne also saved a broadside for Oliver and his ongoing criticism of Ontario's debt and deficit.
"I don't think it is responsible for the finance minister to chose to attack the agenda of a province, particularly a province that he represents," she said referring to the Conservative MP for Eglinton-Lawrence.
"If Joe Oliver thinks that doing war with Ontario and Quebec is a way to build the country up (then) I think he is dead wrong."

It was a short getaway, but Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson made the most of it.
The pair left on a private jet from Van Nuys airport Tuesday morning, then were spotted having dinner in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, that night, according to sources. Early Wednesday morning, they returned to Los Angeles where Johansson is shooting the film We Bought a Zoo with Matt Damon.
On the menu during their Mexican meal? Penn, 50 and Johansson, 26, reportedly enjoyed lobster and, of course, margaritas.
Earlier this week, the twosome were seen sharing a casual lunch at the popular Los Angeles Cuban restaurant, Versailles, where Johansson had her leg draped over Penn.
On Feb. 5, the couple raised eyebrows when they stayed unusually close to each other at a party celebrating Black Swan at the L.A. hotspot Sunset Tower Hotel, then reportedly left together. "They were flirting with each other all night, pretty much ignoring everyone else," a source told PEOPLE at the time.
Johansson's rep told PEOPLE at the time that they the two were not dating. Neither of their reps have commented on the pair's most recent sightings.
Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, 34, split in December after two years of marriage. In August of 2009, Robin Wright, 44, filed for divorce from Penn. The couple had been married 13 years.

I'll use a line from Tom Cruise in the hit movie A Few Good Men in which he said "And the hits just keep on coming." We love you Scarlett and from my own perspective I'm glad that you're into older men!March 3, 2011 at 00:16
oh no~ scarlett. no!!!!!March 3, 2011 at 09:29
Arthur you're such a tosser, Only an arsehole would quote a gobshite like Cruise. Not even a slapper like Scarlett would go public about actually having sex with a creep like that.March 6, 2011 at 13:28
Indie, Thanks for setting it straight. After having submitted the comment, I wished that I hadn't. I guess I deserve that.March 6, 2011 at 17:52
We're all fond of her, but you might find the likes of Cruise and Scarlett aren't such benevelent individuals. I got ripped off by her friends years ago and it kind of screwed my life up a bit. Sorry if I came across a bit aggressive.March 6, 2011 at 21:54

No, you're just human. The line I used " and the hits just keep on coming" wasn't meant to offend anyone. It just reminded me of all the media attention Scarlett's been getting since her divorce. One story after another about her with no let up and I had remembered Cruise using the line in that film which was why I said it. Next time I'll use a better choice of words when leaving a comment and thank you for allowing me to explain it.March 6, 2011 at 23:40

Functionally, XT SM-RT86 Disc Brake Rotors stop equally in comparison to Shimano's apex XTR line. That's because of Ice Tech, a shared technology on both models. The difference between the two lies in a slightly lighter XTR spider that's reserved for gram-obsessed racers.
In reality, most of us aren't going to feel the benefits of a few grams lost when they're so centrally located to the hub. However, what we are going to profit from is the three-piece Ice Tech Rotor. It is essentially two pieces of steel optimized for friction sandwiched over an aluminum core.
This means Shimano is utilizing the high thermal conductivity of aluminum, where other manufacturers solely use steel throughout the braking surface. Additionally, the quicker cooling alloy core more efficiently transfers heat to the alloy spider. The resulting cooler operating brakes will last longer and provide more consistent stopping in the most trying conditions.
Additionally these rotors are compatible with SLX and Deore calipers if you'd like to upgrade existing brakes. Shimano's XT Ice Tech 6-Bolt Disc Brake Rotor SM-RT86 are available in three sizes -- 160, 180, and 203mm.

Has anyone ever used these on avid bb7 mechanical road breaks? If so how are they?
Mountain Mike
I went downhill and I'm not dead...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
...so they must work!
I bought these to up the size on my Yeti sb95c. When those wheels get moving on the down my lever pressure was a little higher than I wanted.
I went to a 180 in the rear and 203 in the front with the metallic pads...wow! What a treat!
Breaking control is amazingly controllable and I haven't gotten ANY fading even on very long descents.
They came true out of the box and were simple to install!
Do it!
Chad Cordell
Best Rotors
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great 2 piece design that is very stiff, quiet and quite light. Can't go wrong with these.
Garrett C.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Shimano line of xt is the excellence of mid level builds, great equipment for the price!
Worth the hype
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
While I've only used these for a few days, these rotors are amazing & worth all the hype. I recently rode both DH & Enduro at Mammoth. My XT brakes with 180mm ice tech rotors on my enduro bike worked better than the 203mm brakes on my DH bike.
Adding to my original review, these are excellent. I'm basically a giant in the world of mountain bikes (6'3" / 250lbs) and these coupled with the XT brakes on my T275 work flawlessly every time.
Do these come with a bolt kit, or do I need to buy one to mount them onto the hubs?
Mike Nelson
This rotor includes bolts and washers.
Best Rotors on the Market
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I struggled with a more expensive, Italian brand and was never satsified.
These rotors are legit!
Amazing Brakes!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought these rotors to replace stock XT shimano rotors. Normally ride AM but have been running these in DH/PARK all summer long and these are amazing. After a few runs noticed that my brakes still had great modulation and were not fading like my stock brakes occasionally do! em the most. Been running them for around 6 months still look new...
Would buy again!
Pete OBrien
I upgraded to 180mm to reduce fatigue on long downhills. It's been awesome so far. My 160mm rotors were getting a rainbow discoloration from getting so hot, so I figured it might be a good time to replace them anyway. If you have 160mm rotors and want to get 180mm rotors you will also need this part:
and specify front or rear.
Grant Kates
Single Rotor
Hello All,
I just wanted to verify for everyone interested in this item that it is a single rotor and not a pair.
Happy riding!
Best Brakes... EVER
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
True, like other AVID convertees... these are the best. You really don't know how bad your brakes are until you run these XT/XTR's. Man, never thought a bike brake could be so effortless, have so much stopping power, or be so quiet. Fantastic. 1 year now, and still flawless.
Brakes that Work
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Everything that i have ever heard about XT or XTR brake has been good. Well, it is true, these brakes are by far better that the Avid 7's that i just came from.

Maternity insurance can be explained as an insurance policy that comes up to cover medical expenses associated with pregnancy and delivery. Maternity Insurance policies helps to reimburse medical costs of visiting an OB-GYN and hospital stays and many of the other expenses that occur with the new born baby every now and then. Health Insurance with maternity benefits is a special coverage plan dedicated to the mother and the child that is generally covered by health insurance. Health insurance typically covers any unanticipated medical treatments and maternity covers are also part of them. Health insurance with maternity covers can save you lot of money as they covers lot of financial impact.Health insurance helps you cover medical expenses with its maternity insurance already pregnant option.
Maternity coverage is a part of health insurance benefits broadly. Maternity benefits include hospitalization expenses, baby delivery charges for any kind of delivery, new born coverage, pre and post natal coverage, vaccinations and post care expenses.Further, health insurance for maternity covers expenses for maximum of two deliveries. The coverage amount is dependent on sum assured.The sub limits for maternity expenses are dependent on health cover opted. The more the sum assured, the more the coverage.
The waiting period under maternity insurance varies from 12 to 48 months. A new policy cannot provide cover for already pregnant women.
Health insurance with maternity coverage can reap lot of benefits if inclusions are deeply analyzed. There are some exclusion like pre hospitalization period expenses, consultation fees and tests. Some insurers might not cover treatment expenses for newly born child. A thorough analysis should be done before buying coverage and whichcan be done by comparing health insurance with maternity coverage with us. We at policy bazaar help you choosing right policy with appropriate coverage.
What is Maternity Coverage?
For most of the health insurance plans, pregnancy related expenses are treated as an exclusion. Maternity coverage comes as an add-on or a rider to a health insurance policy and provides for the same.
Why do I need Maternity Coverage?
Giving birth to a child is becoming costly day by day. Besides, complications can arise at any time throughout pregnancy especially at the time of childbirth. A maternity coverage provides a financial cushion for such unforeseen events.
What does it Cover?
Ideally a maternity coverage should provide for pre-natal and post-natal expenses, delivery expenses, Caesarean delivery, complications arising thereof, post-birth care and vaccination.
What should I look out for while buying Maternity Coverage?
While buying a maternity coverage, you should take care of the waiting period. Only after a waiting period of 2 – 6 years, pregnancy related expenses start to get covered under a health plan. Another thing to look out for is the sub limit of the maternity coverage on the total sum insured.
With your kind help and efficiency in duty I received my policy within time & much satisfied with the job you have done for me. Arvind Khajuria -
I had requested help on purchasing the insurance policy on your website. Within half an hour I received a call. This is to acknowledge that I am highly impressed with the services provided to me from initiation to closure. Anant Dabholkar -
Thanking you very much for your support for getting our policy quickly, I would appreciate your work. Prabhat Yadav -
