Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Canada takes a stand
Prime Minister Stephen Harper may have his faults, but fence-sitting is not one of them, especially when it comes to foreign policy. His government's recent decision to close the Canadian Embassy in Iran, expel the Iranian ambassador in Ottawa, and cut off ties with this rogue state, is a significant statement about the Harper government's stand on human rights, justice, democracy and global security.
It has grabbed the world's attention and may establish a precedent.
Since the end of the Second World War, such purposeful actions have been a rarity in Canadian foreign affairs. Successive Canadian governments, Liberal or Conservative, have been more or less content to accept Canada's status as a "middle power," working behind the scenes as a member of the United Nations and other international organizations. The guiding principle has been trying to keep the peace in the world without offending anyone or any country, no matter how threatening or dangerous they might be. Diplomacy rather than confrontation has been the Canadian motto. Until now, it seems.
For the first 50 years after Confederation, Canada really did not have its own foreign policy since it was part of the British Empire. In 1899, young men from Winnipeg volunteered to defend British interests in far-off South Africa when the Boer War broke out. During the First World War, Canada's response to the mother country was a loyal and obedient, "Ready, Aye, Ready." In the 1920s, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King persevered at successive imperial conferences establishing a degree of autonomy for Canada and the other Commonwealth countries. Yet in 1939, with the outbreak of the Second World War, King did not hesitate to follow Britain's lead and declare war on Germany.
The major shift and the emergence of a truly independent Canadian foreign policy can be traced to a speech delivered by Louis St. Laurent in 1947, a year before he succeeded King as prime minister. In his remarks at a University of Toronto gathering, St. Laurent highlighted the basic tenets that governed Canadian foreign affairs for the next 60 years: the importance of maintaining national unity between English and French Canadians; defending political liberty without meddling in the affairs of others; respecting the rule of law and human rights; and being a co-operative member of world organizations.
On paper, Canada's dedication to peace sounded honourable, and in 1956 Lester Pearson did win the Nobel Peace Prize for devising a peace-keeping force to halt the conflict between Egypt and Israel over control of the Suez Canal. But no matter who has been in charge, there is another reality Canadian politicians and diplomats do not like to readily admit. Canada, according to historian Norman Hillmer, has always had a "limited influence" on world events. Our foreign policy, he writes, "tends to be responsive, its thrust defensive."
That's why so many diplomats and an array of Ottawa and Toronto commentators are upset with Harper's latest decision on Iran. It is wiser to keep your enemies close, they insist; better not to side so openly with Israel, the only true democracy in the region, because it jeopardizes Canada's impartial world standing. They argue shutting the Canadian Embassy in Tehran prevents Canada from effecting real change, as if Iranian leaders were actually open to such overtures. Consider that in 2003, diplomacy did not protect or save Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-born Canadian journalist from being murdered in an Iranian prison.
Harper has boldly decided it is time to draw a line in the sand with Iran.
The theocratic regime has flouted "all basic principles of diplomacy and human rights," rightly suggests Derek Burney, a former Canadian ambassador to the United States and Fen Hampson of Carleton University. However Iranian leaders view the world, and it is admittedly far different and more complex than we likely comprehend, their catalogue of threatening actions should not and cannot be ignored any longer. Iran, adds Burney and Hampson is "a pariah regime" and "enough is enough."
Like Hitler in 1938, Iran has manipulated UN observers and world leaders with false statements and stalling tactics in negotiations over curtailing its intention to build nuclear weapons. It has shipped arms to prop up Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's brutal regime.
It has supplied the terrorist group Hezbollah with rockets and weapons, among other terrorist groups it supports. In 2009, Iranian officials arrested, tortured and killed protesters who objected to sham elections, which inexplicably maintained the status quo. And, its leaders, most notably President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have denounced Israel as "a usurper and illegitimate regime and a cancerous tumour (that) should be wiped off the map."
Who can blame the Israeli government from taking such shocking statements seriously and contemplating a military operation to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities?
In his comments in 1947, St. Laurent also pointed out Canadians, who had just lived through the worst conflict in history, had come "to distrust and dislike governments which rule by force and which suppress free comment on their activities." Count Stephen Harper and the Conservatives among those who hold that view. Much as it may cause some Canadians to feel uneasy, they have resolved to do something about it. I'll vote for such a stand any day, if the alternative is to continue to be wishy-washy and appeasing of a ruthless dictatorship.
Now &Then is a column in which historian Allan Levine puts the events of today in a historical context.

Glocks. Can't stand them. Tired of hearing about them. They're like Hondas back in the original Fast and the Furious (movie) days.

I approached Sweeney Todd with trepidation, having been underwhelmed with most of Tim Burton's recent output and every screen musical of the last decade. The biggest problem I have with Burton's films is that his screenplays rarely manage to pull their disparate elements into a satisfying whole. Here, despite adapting the material to his own sensibilities and shortening the play by an hour, he adheres closely to Sondheim's book, resulting in the most dramatically satisfying film Burton has ever made.
I liked the adaptation of the off-off Broadway Hedwig and the Angry Inch, but have been left underwhelmed by all the recent big budget film musicals, so I'm glad to say that Sweeney Todd, wipes the floor with every major screen musical of the last decade, including the likable if over extended Hairspary. Most surprising is how shockingly gruesome the the film becomes in the second half. This must be the most blood drenched film since Shogun Assassin, with arteries spurting blood like like fountains as throats are cut, with the violence escalating towards the end leading towards a climax that is exhilarating, heartbreaking and satisfyingly bleak.
Unlike the dreary dirges Danny Elfman supplied for Burton's stop frame musicals, Sondheim's score is a joy to listen to from beginning to end, its dark romanticism sometimes reminding me of Bernhard Herrmann, perfectly fitting what is both a musical and a horror film in equal measures.
Depp and Bonham Carter are both excellent and it's down to their performances that I never quite lost sympathy with them in their descent into madness, blood lust and cannibalism.
Musical haters may not be converted as 75% percent of the dialogue is sung, but this completely dispatches any notion of cloying sentimentally the genre is often associated with.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Drama / Horror
In the Victorian London, the barber Benjamin Barker is married to the gorgeous Lucy and they have a lovely child, Johanna. The beauty of Lucy attracts the attention of the corrupt Judge Turpin, who falsely accuses the barber of a crime that he did not commit and abuses Lucy later after gaining custody of her. After fifteen years in exile, Benjamin returns to London under the new identity of Sweeney Todd, seeking revenge against Turpin. He meets the widow Mrs. Lovett who is the owner of a meat pie shop who tells him that Lucy swallowed arsenic many years ago, and Turpin assigned himself tutor of Johanna. He opens a barber shop above her store, initiating a crime rampage against those who made him suffer and lose his beloved family.

Tim Burton's most dramatically satisfying film so far.
I approached Sweeney Todd with trepidation, having been underwhelmed with most of Tim Burton's recent output and every screen musical of the last decade. The biggest problem I have with Burton's films is that his screenplays rarely manage to pull their disparate elements into a satisfying whole. Here, despite adapting the material to his own sensibilities and shortening the play by an hour, he adheres closely to Sondheim's book, resulting in the most dramatically satisfying film Burton has ever made.
Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd!
Attend the Tale! This is a major must-see film. It's first and foremost a musical, with essentially all the characters singing throughout, but it's also horrific and hilarious. If cheerful musicals aren't your thing, never fear this is Sweeney Todd a very darkly comic and tragic tale. This is a faithful but unique adaptation of the award-winning and much beloved stage musical by Stephen Sondheim, with few cuts and changes. Contrary to some musicals where the songs aren't necessary to the basic plot, these 'meaty' songs tell the tale. Sweeney Todd is a throat-slashing barber (an urban legend) obsessed with revenge. His accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, is smitten with unrequited love and brings new meaning to "waste not, want not" in her meat-pie bakery.
Tim Burton is at his best, artfully meshing the powerful and beautiful music with stunning visuals. He successfully creates a much more intimate atmosphere than can be achieved on stage, with characters up-close and personal, and he makes brilliant use of light/dark contrasts and color. Although none of the actors (except Kelly) are professional singers, each character is portrayed very effectively with the acting and singing combined. The cinematography, set designs, costumes, and makeup are all striking. The horrific moments are graphically brutal and gory Burton does not skimp on the blood, and it even becomes intentionally over-the-top (the camera lens is splattered at one point). But it does not seem gratuitous in that it IS the reality of the story, and it also has a metaphorical role. The violence IS disturbing, but you can cover your eyes if you're squeamish (it's only a few scenes). There are also hilarious moments especially "The Contest" with a rival barber (Cohen), and the dreamy "By the Sea" sequence.
And can Johnny Depp sing? And how! Not only does he sing Sondheim, and sing it well, but he creates a refreshingly new interpretation of this complex character, and does an amazing job acting the part through the singing, staying 100% in character and accent throughout. He goes from lovingly crooning to his razors in "My Friends" to thrilling madness in "Epiphany." Rather than a booming, operatic baritone with grand gestures, his is a more subdued but intense Sweeney. As the (cut) ballad says, he's odd, pale, subtle, and smooth. It's a great character, and an excellent and Oscar-worthy performance. Johnny Depp IS Sweeney Todd! But perhaps the best thing about this movie is that it isn't just about Sweeney. It's filled with other interesting characters, and the entire cast is remarkable. Carter's voice is a bit thin, but she creates a very adorable and complex Mrs. Lovett. She is a wonderfully colorful and humorous contrast to the dark and gloomy Sweeney. The judge (Rickman), Pirelli (Cohen), beadle (Spall), and Lucy (Kelly) all seem perfect to me. Anthony (Bower), Johanna (Wisener), and Toby (Sanders) are all very young and innocent, with angelic voices, and little Toby is a scene-stealer.
This movie is thoroughly entertaining and it leaves the audience in a stunned silence. I can't wait to see it again!
Dark Humor Done Right
Despite the grim expectations from the story synopsis, the film delivers gore in a surprisingly tasteful way. There are no screaming teenagers running from a lunatic; instead we get a somewhat British blend of satire, slapstick and just "wrong" humor. Although I'm not much of a Johnny Depp fan, I enjoyed his performance as well as Helena Bonham Carter's. Even the portrayal of the common clients was stunning.
Despite being generally familiar with the story, I fell into some traps expecting specific twists, yet something different (and better) being delivered. This is a model of how to do dark humor that filmmakers should and probably will follow. It is most refreshing. Don't read the story and don't read any spoilers until you've seen it.

Viking Idun and the Grand European your
Our first river cruise was long awaited, and we were not disappointed from the reception as we boarded the beautiful Idun in Budapest to the tearful good by in Amsterdam, Viking was family, and cared for us as such.our cabin was lovely, a state of the art design with ample storage for everything, a large shower..a great surprise, and loved our veranda . Dining was lovely, ample servings, service very good, waiters tried so hard to make all happy.
The tours were well thought out, and for the most part, guides were well versed in English and the history of the ports we were in. It was so good of Viking to have leisure tours at most ports for those who did not walk well on more lengthy tours. The weather was good, for the most part, a few rain showers, but otherwise did not dampen our enjoyment. The upper deck was great when open, but sometimes low bridges kept them closed, so we enjoyed our veranda instead with a favorite beverage,
We loved the aqua terrace More for a light lunch or just touring down the river, a great design? The public spaces were inviting to conversation with fellow cruisers or just curl up with a good book and watch the towns go by. We will definitely book with Viking again to enjoy this class of service and experience in Europe. Less

Good layout , comfortable bed, ample storage, quiet location, nice veranda and views of towns, river, bath well planned, good shower space, convenient location to dining, access for tours easy from this location, liked that we were one floor up from dining, and one floor down for deck access. Dining room was noisy as we all dined at same time, lots of conversation, found that round tables against windows were best for views of tons and river as we cruised.

hail damage to expansion joints
So our expansion joints got hammered in last weeks storms and I was wondering what was involved in repairing/replacing them? Thanks.
I'll assume you are talking about the plastic expansion joints. If these are cracked and/or broken, the best way to solve is to cut the expansion out and fill with Deck-o-seal or some similar elastic joint compound.
It's a pain to do. Haven't looked recently to see if anyone makes a glue on piece for repairs.
Thanks for the response golfgeek. Yes,it is the plastic expansion joints and they did get cracked. So basically, it would be replaced with the same material that is used to replace the mastic? That was the only thing we haven't done yet with the pool remodel. Guess we will do it all at once now.Any problem with waiting til fall to do this? Thanks so much!

2013 Record: 9-7 The San Diego Chargers were a Kansas City Chiefs made field goal away from missing the 2013 playoffs. Fortunately, Ryan Succop's kick went wide right and the Chargers were playoff bound. It was head coach Mike McCoy's first year with the team and the new system was a breath of fresh air for Philip Rivers. Rivers, the NFL's comeback player of the year, was sensational throughout the year talling 4478 yards and 32 TDs with only 11 INTs. He led the team to a 27-10 victory of the Bengals in the AFC wild card game before the Chargers fell to the Denver Broncos in the divisional playoff round. The Chargers offense, which jumped to number five in the league in 2013, was also led by the dynamic backfield of Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead as well as outstanding rookie Keenan Allen. Allen's presence (1046 yards) was a big reason for the reemergence from Rivers. Rivers and the offense, however, will have to head into the 2014 without their offensive coordinator from last season. Ken Whisenhunt who brought the offense from 31st in the league to 5th moved on to take the head coaching job in Tennessee. If they 2014 Chargers want to be successful they must avoid the let down games. Too many time last season the Chargers did not show up for games they certainly should have won. In an increasingly competitive division the Chargers will have to bring their A game week in and week out. Head to Gold Coast Tickets today to get in on the action!

The cheap Bibles of nineteenth-century Britain were read in millions of homes, and were also potent symbols of national virtue. In an age of social ferment, cheap Bibles - most published by the British and Foreign Bible Society - represented both the promise of mass literacy and the benefits of industrialisation. This book, based on correspondence and other archival records, tells the story of the BFBS from two perspectives: its place in the history of publishing and printing and in contemporary society. The BFBS, founded in 1804, grew out of the evangelical revival and became a popular crusade. 'Ladies Bible Associations' sprang up to supply the poor with cheap Bibles and contribute to the production of Bibles in foreign languages for the salvation of souls abroad. To meet the growing demand the Society experimented with new technologies including stereotyping, machine printing and bookbinding, and a unique distribution system.

A Bug Hunter's Diary: A Guided Tour Through the Wilds of Software Securityby Tobias Klein
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"This is one of the most interesting infosec books to come out in the last several years."
"Give a man an exploit and you make him a hacker for a day; teach a man to exploit bugs and you make him a hacker for a lifetime."
Seemingly simple bugs can have drastic consequences, allowing attackers to compromise systems, escalate local privileges, and otherwise wreak havoc on a system.
A Bug Hunter's Diary follows security expert Tobias Klein as he tracks down and exploits bugs in some of the world's most popular software, like Apple's iOS, the VLC media player, web browsers, and even the Mac OS X kernel. In this one-of-a-kind account, you'll see how the developers responsible for these flaws patched the bugs—or failed to respond at all. As you follow Klein on his journey, you'll gain deep technical knowledge and insight into how hackers approach difficult problems and experience the true joys (and frustrations) of bug hunting.
Along the way you'll learn how to:
A Bug Hunter's Diary is packed with real-world examples of vulnerable code and the custom programs used to find and test bugs. Whether you're hunting bugs for fun, for profit, or to make the world a safer place, you'll learn valuable new skills by looking over the shoulder of a professional bug hunter in action.
Although ominous-sounding terms like "zero-day" and "exploit" are widely used, even many security professionals don't know how bug hunters actually find and attack software security flaws. In A Bug Hunter's Diary, readers follow along with security expert Tobias Klein as he tracks down and exploits bugs in some of the world's most popular programs. Whether by browsing source code, poring over disassembly, or fuzzing live programs, readers get an over-the-shoulder glimpse into the world of a bug hunter as Klein unearths security flaws and uses them to take control of affected systems. Readers learn about critical vulnerabilities in Mac OS X, Linux, Oracle Solaris, and the iPhone OS, among others. They also learn how the developers responsible for these flaws responded to Klein's discoveries—or didn't seem to respond at all. In this one-of-a-kind guide that mixes the personal with the deeply technical, readers learn how hackers approach difficult problems, see the fallout of a security advisory, and understand the true joys (and frustrations) of bug hunting.

Cute place, but average amenitiesPosted Mar 25, 2015
Pros: Cute, Charming decor, cozy (kind of felt like a bed and breakfast, sans the breakfast).
Cons: Room was too hot (and it was cool weather outside). Coffee in the rooms? In a competitive hotel neighborhood, perks go a long way.
Location: Union Square is a 2 minute walk away. There's tons of bars, shops and restaurants very nearby.
This place is cute with lots of character. The front desk woman was extremely helpful in arranging airport transport, offering late check out, and recommending places to go. The rooms are small and dated (part of the character I guess), and it was very warm in the room (even with heat off/AC on) and the terrifyingly loud hotel fire alarm went off at 12:15am, waking up most guests and sending us down 6+ flights of stairs in PJs. The man at front desk was a bit rude about it just being a false alarm and sent us back up and it went off again a few mins later. That was a bit rough, having to work early in the morn, but at least an apology about it the next day or something complimentary would have been nice and helped smooth it over. We chose this hotel bc the price was lowest for that neighborhood and it had good reviews--unfortunately, I'm not sure I'd stay here again.

The hotel was in an excellent location and the staff were terrific and informed. The hotel bar/library was fantastic and the place was charming. Would highly recommend this hotel.
for Familiesby A verified traveler
Posted Feb 28, 2015
Quite outdated, room is small, some mold smell on 5th floor, air conditioning noise, not sure if this hotel is good for family with kids. However staff is pleasing, location is excellent, food/drinks in a bar is very good. I should note complimentary glass of good quality wine at 5-6 PM.

Loved this hotel!Posted Feb 17, 2015
Pros: The staff we're very friendly, attentive and helpful.
The literary/library theme was charming. Unique. The room was nicely decorated and clean. Bathroom too. Loved the location - just two blocks off Union Square. If you like smaller, boutique hotels this was perfect.

Good for conventionPosted Jan 30, 2015
Pros: The staff was very helpful
Location: Many restaurants near by. Sears Fine foods for breakfast and Scala's for dinner are good choices.
Reasonably close to the Moscone convention center. Older hotel, with small elevator but with a terrific staff. It is a city hotel.

Clean and comfortable hotel close to Union Square.Posted Jan 24, 2015
Pros: Because of its close proximity to restaurants and shopping around Union Square.
Perfect for an affordable getaway. Staff is very polite and courteous.

Nice little hotel!Posted Jan 9, 2015
Pros: The proximity to everything. We let the valet park the car and didn't use it for the rest of the night. Amazingly close.
Cons: Just a heads up that some rooms do not have A/C. We did not need it since it's January.
Location: Union Square, plenty of food choices, great shopping, and fun bars.
The wife and I were looking for a place close to Union Square and we found it here. It was about a minute walk to the middle of Union Square. The staff at the hotel was great. They were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. The rooms were a bit small but had a comfy bed and that's all we needed for our one night getaway. We stayed on the street side and while some reviewers on here complained about the noise we didn't wake up once in the night.

I stayed here with my daughter to share a great night of comedy with Joel McHale at Cobb's Comedy Club. The hotel location is super convenient and the room was lovely and comfortable. We were really only there for sleeping, so not much more to say.

Great value next to union square.Posted Jan 5, 2015
The staff was wonderful, pleasant and not autocratic. It was a refreshing change from the staff at other branded hotels I've stayed at. Our room wasn't ready at check in but other than that couldn't complain. Free coffee and wine in the library study was a very nice plus. The hotel was right off the cable car line and the Powell street Bart station. The hotel facilities were older but that was due to the hotel buliding being an older one. It really was a charming hotel but it was the staff that made all the difference.

I really like the way this gun looks.I've read some positive reviews.I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with it,or the old Safari Arms company that originally made these guns.It's the only color-case-hardened 1911 that I know of.Looks to be a good deal in the 1K$ range.

Petraeus Scandal: Four Americans have been killed under still-unexplained circumstances, yet the obsession is with a general's mistress and not with the truth of why these men were left to die in Libya.
How ironic that the FBI agents who descended on the home of Paula Broadwell to gather information on the mistress of now-former CIA Director David Petraeus probably did a better job than the FBI agents who gave a cursory look at our burned-out consulate in Benghazi, leaving behind classified documents strewn on the floor and even our ambassador's diary to be picked up by CNN.
A press that ignored the administration's incompetence and swallowed its lies whole now salivates over every episode of what some have dubbed "The Real Housewives of West Point." Protect the president, but slime the military as a commune of lechers.
Senate Intelligence Committee head Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is insisting that her committee hear directly from Petraeus about his October trip to Libya to personally inquire about the Sept. 11 terror attack on the Benghazi consulate. The general reportedly will cooperate.
What did the nation's chief spy find out? What's in his report? Did it have anything to do with the curious timing of his "resignation," just after the election and just before he was to testify to Congress? Will it blow the administration's narrative out of the water?
Who gave the order for forces to "stand down" and not go to the rescue of the consulate compound or the safe house? A week before Petraeus' resignation, the CIA issued a flat denial that any order to stand down ever came from anyone in the agency. Why wasn't a rescue attempt mounted when AC-130 gunships and Apache attack helicopters could have arrived in time?
Why, two days after officials from the National Counterterrorism Center gave Capitol Hill briefings in which they said Benghazi was likely a terrorist attack and that there were several al-Qaida training camps just outside Benghazi, did Petraeus tell lawmakers exactly the opposite, following the administration line that the attack was more consistent with a flash mob infuriated by an obscure Internet video?
And as long as we must mention Ms. Broadwell, can anyone explain the speech she made at the University of Denver on Oct. 26 in which she revealed the news that the CIA had been holding two terrorist prisoners at the consulate and the attack was an attempt by terrorists to rescue them? Was this made up to hype her biography of Petraeus, ironically titled "All In," gleaned from his computer, or was it indiscreet pillow talk?
The press showed little interest in Benghazi when it could have been an Obama campaign show-stopper. But sex sells, particularly generals engaged in unauthorized maneuvers. Would anyone have cared if it wasn't one general's presumed mistress sending harassing emails to another general's alleged mistress?
The Obama administration, which successfully kicked the Benghazi can past the election, is probably delighted the focus is on what happened in Petraeus' bedroom rather than in the White House Situation Room on Sept. 11, 2012.
But Benghazigate is a far graver matter than the military version of "bimbo eruptions," and the country deserves answers.
Foreign Policy: In Yemen, Saudi Arabia bombs Iranian-backed forces. In Iraq, the U.S. bombs so Iran won't be boss there. The poison from President Obama's "New Beginning" with Mideast Muslims just keeps spreading.Someone would have to be blind not to notice that something new — and terrifying ...
Bias: At an "Excellence In Journalism" gala, Hillary Clinton drew a standing ovation from the media's supposedly tough watchdogs. Before that, they failed to ask tough questions at a presser. Just when does the lapdogging stop?Incredibly enough, at a Syracuse University event called the Toner Prize ...
Mideast: Quietly, the Obama administration has released details of Israel's nuclear program through the Defense Department. It was no accident, and could have a devastating impact on the balance of power in the region. The same administration that refused to divulge what's in its ...
Scandal: Hillary's emails may be only the tip of an iceberg that could include Clinton Foundation donations to shield Boko Haram from being designated a terrorist group and her brother's involvement in a Haitian gold mine.We doubt Team Hillary was thrilled or her critics surprised Tuesday when the ...

Can't really this topic trolling
Actually, mentioning the lack of Wii U exclusives in the title makes it trolling because it incites people to respond aggressively to it. Simple as that.
In contrast, look at how KittTrust (sorry if I mis-spelled that) posts his sales chart topic on the Vita board. Much less stupid.

nothing on wii u is worth it right now.. ps3 and 360 currently offer wayyyyyyyyy better gaming experince... online, games, gameplay, graphics on ps3/360 just better than wii u. so its no brainer seeing people more people are choosing ps360 over wii u..

On 26th March 1885 the first official cremation at Woking took place. Mrs. Pickersgill, a well-known figure in literary and scientific circles, was the first of three cremations that year. Mr. Charles William Carpenter was cremated on 19th October and in December the third cremation. In 1886 there were ten cremations and during the year 1888, there were a total of 28. During the time of the ancient Roman and Greek civilizations cremation had been generally adopted as a method of disposing of the dead. With the advent and spread of Christianity, however, and it's concomitant belief in the resurrection of the dead, cremation fell into disfavour and by the fifth century the practice had become almost completely obsolete.

A fairly nice trailer park with a separate campground section. There are only about 4 sites with full hookups and lots of sites with water and electric. The washroom is all tiled and looks fairly new and well looked after. A NEGATIVE is that showers cost $1.00. Campground is only a few minutes away from Midland's three main attractions of Wye March, Saint Marie and Martyr's shrine. We camped at Smith's Trailer Park & Camp in a Travel Trailer.Undo

You can also show us where anywhere in these numbers it indicates that the people you mention do not commit crimes disproportionally higher than their share of the population. It also fails to tell us who commits most of the crimes in predominantly black neighborhoods.

Arts & Museums
»Columbia River Maritime Museum
Located in Astoria on the mouth of the Columbia River, this museum holds one of the largest collections of maritime artifacts in the West. Astoria is the gateway to the trade and travel of the Pacific, and many a ship saw her demise in the often-rough waters of America's longest east-west river. This is the only accredited museum of its type in the western states and is Oregon's official maritime museum. From canoes to submarines, there is plenty of interesting water-vessel history to be explored.
»Heritage Museum
The Heritage Museum is one of the city's best museums. Operating under the Clatsop County Historical Society banner, this museum was built in 1904 and was designed by architect Emil Schacht. The museum is an archive of all things 'local history' and displays both temporary as well as permanent exhibits. Among the items on display there are arts and crafts from the 19th century, fishing and hunting equipments, photographs and more from the by-gone era. Call ahead to know more.
»Astoria City Hall (old)
If you're looking for a piece of history housed in a gorgeous Neoclassical structure, then Astoria City Hall is a definite must-see in your list. Designed by renowned architect Emil Schacht in 1904, today the city hall is home to the Historical Society's Archive and Local History Museum. The museum has an astounding collection of both permanent and changing exhibits which beautifully describe the story of Clatsop County's rich and exciting history. Also located on the second floor is the Society's Archive and Research Library which welcomes researchers. The museum is open from Tuesday to Friday from 10:00a to noon, and 1:00p to 3:00p.

The same ideas are still propelling Corgan: Spirituality looms large on the 14-minute title track, and his eternal dedication to rock's redemptive might charges the giddy "Baby Let's Rock!," which Shania Twain obviously will never forgive him for writing first. But the bandleader sounds reinvigorated in a way he hasn't since Siamese Dream helped blow alt-rock wide open in 1993. No telling where Zwan will go in that amount of time, if it'll balloon to the same distended proportions the Pumpkins did; hopefully Corgan will pen another memo to himself to consult when that day comes. -- Mikael Wood

A Message from the Chair
A modern medical miracle
I consider stem cells to be a modern medical miracle – the most exciting advance in medicine since antibiotics. Yet just a few years ago, Michigan's scientists couldn't make new stem cell lines. Well, they could – but they would be committing a crime that could land them in jail for 10 years and cost them $10 million.
Thankfully, Michigan voters spoke out loudly in favor of curing diseases when in 2008 they approved a constitutional amendment lifting restrictions on stem cell research.
Since then, the progress we have made throughout the state in stem cell research has been nothing short of remarkable. Our great research institutions are hiring new scientists and doing cutting-edge work. The biotech industry is heating up, creating jobs and new opportunities. We're on the verge of new, life-saving advances in medicine as a result of this burgeoning frontier of research.
At the University of Michigan, the scientists of the Taubman Institute are making incredible progress. Dr. Eva Feldman, our director, is conducting the first human clinical trial of a stem cell treatment for ALS, that terrible condition known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Dr. Max Wicha, a Taubman Scholar and director of the Comprehensive Cancer Center, is leading the first-ever clinical trial targeting cancer stem cells. The Taubman Institute also has established the Consortium for Stem Cell Therapies, one of the few facilities in the nation to produce new embryonic stem cell lines that contain the genetic defects for specific diseases.
I founded the Taubman Institute to support innovative medical science like stem cell research. We are supporting the work of 12 Taubman Scholars, senior physician-scientists working in crucial fields of research such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders. We have also launched an Emerging Scholars Program to foster the careers of promising young physician-scientists.
Yes, it is an exciting time to be in Michigan if you are a medical scientist. We are making crucial laboratory discoveries. More importantly, we're moving that progress from bench to bedside, where it can help patients suffering from disease. That is the true goal of the Taubman Institute.

OT: combination microwave/convection ovens?
Anyone got first-hand knowledge on these? Are they any good?
I love the idea of combining the microwave with a second oven, smaller than the wide, but oddly short one in my 36" capital range. I've heard great things about the Breville smart ovens, but would also prefer not to have it countertop and the only other place I could put a second oven is in the undercounter space where the micro now resides. My family and I use the micro too often to give it up entirely, so I've been contemplating whether a combination micro/convection could do the trick, but am concerned that they might turn out to better in theory than in practice.
Would appreciate any info....
Hi Melissa: I had a microwave/convection in my previous kitchen. Absolutely loved it. It was a perfect second oven. Functioned very well, and anything that would fit in the micro/conv oven was baked there. Meats, pies, breads... really just everything. The only thing I baked in the big oven was the turkeys of course, and things on a cookie sheet or extra large baking dishes. I had two different brands. First one was an Amana. The electronics on it went out after about 7 yrs of so. Second was a Kenmore. It was identical, just had the Kenmore label. I did get the warranty with the Kenmore and used it twice to have the "board" replaced. Seems that must be a common problem. I believe I paid around $400 for each of them.
Just keep in mind that when it's being used as a second oven it is not available as a MW (and vice versa).
In your case, since it's either one oven + MW or one oven + MW/Convection, I think the combination would be useful. You might consider buying a small MW to use when the MW/Convection is being used as an oven. Install/store it in a pantry or basement and just use it when needed.
As to under-counter. How is it working to have the MW under-counter right now? If it's working fine for you, then I don't think you'll be disappointed with the smart oven also in that location - one big "however" - can it be installed in an enclosed space the size of your MW alcove? Check its specs before you buy it to be sure it can actually be placed where you want it.
Also, since these types of ovens usually get hot on the outside, be sure you can install it far enough inside so no part of it sticks out from the alcove to burn someone if they accidentally brush it with a leg or knee while at the counter.
OK, the more I think about it, the less enamored I am with the idea...I wonder if it might be too dangerous and/or cause damage to the surrounding cabinetry due to heat...
Do you know how hot it gets on the outside? I know our toaster oven gets quite hot.
Perhaps someone who has "installed" it this way will chime in with real-life experience...
Thanks Joyce for the info. That sounds promising.
Buehl...good points. I had vaguely thought about them, but not yet investigated enough to know the answer. The space for the microwave (and yes, it works fine for me now, under counter) is quite large...about 16" high, 38" wide and standard counter depth. So I'm hopeful that it would have enough air space around it. I wonder if an alternative might be to install insulation around it and trim out the opening to hide it?
My mother-in-law has the Kitchen Aid MW/convection double oven combo and it works great. The MW section is shorter in height but it works for her. She does the meat in the bigger oven and cooks veggies or re-heats other items for the meal in the MW part.
Melissastar - Sorry, I can't give info. on the performance but I am ordering Micro/convection as well (Sharp). I also like the option of second oven for smaller items. Reviews I have read said that there is a learning curve of sorts but that it is worth it. Most said to use the convection from the beginning so you don't "forget" it is there. Good luck.
Hi Melissastar,
I don't know anything about single ovens that are both convection and microwave, but I do have experience with the double oven (one convection, with a microwave above). The problem with the double version is, as previously mentioned, they have a single control panel, which tends to last only 5 or so years. I think this is because of the heavy use the microwave gets, and I'm not sure if it is the same with the single combo oven. It is very expensive to replace, and the only option is to get a new oven - even more expensive. That could be a trade off you want to make is you are short of space, but just wanted to mention it.
I have a GE Profile micro/convection oven. Primarily, it's a microwave for me, but I use the convection when I need an extra oven (I only have one wall mounted oven). Mine is built in above the wall oven. I think it's a great invention!

And see the planes ...
Fondest memory: It must be told I already loved those spectacular moments of
"taking off and landing" planes
when I was a child, joining my dad
and going to the place where he used to work >>>
Jefman Airport - Sorong .
Where we could come to the planes very very close ...
(I do know a lot of people do not like the noise, the air and the planes at all ... unfortunatley, as we travel by airplanes like buses)
- Road Trip
- Hiking and Walking
- Adventure Travel
A big splash of green in a hostile world
Favorite thing: If you have any interest in 'green' or ecological building then Schiphol Airport is quite interesting. Above the concourse to the railway station is a massive, curved grass roof.
I wrote a dissertation at college on 'green roofs'. Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands have lots of them. They help make the building blend in with the surroundings, create a home for wildlife, humidify the air, absorb rainwater, insulate and protect the building.
The large planted roof at Schiphol was created in 1998. It is actully not grass, but sedum (succulent plants) and moss, on a thin layer of special growing matter. It was installed by a German firm, Strodhoff & Behrens Begruennungs GmbH.
Of course, this roof does very little to combat the major problem of noise, carbon emissions and other pollution that the 1000's of aircraft create every week. In that sense, it is more a public relations exercise by the airport, than a serious contribution to saving our planet.
But all the same, I personally think it looks much nicer than a great expanse of metal roof!!
Fondest memory: Actually I found the best way to see the green roof is to walk out of the front doors of the airport to the drop-off point. It is quite difficult to see form above - you can look out of the first floor windows on the way to Departures. Also, you can get a fair view from the far south corner of the Panorama Terrace, near the triangular lift.

Favorite thing: These two sturdy gentlemen were caught trying to smuggle themselves into the country as hand-luggage!!!
OK, I lied again.
There are several large objects of public art, of various kinds, around the airport. And a small extension of the Rijksmuseum, if you have the time. The two bronze sculptures (pictured) are good fun and great as seats for weary travellers. You can find them on the route to/from Gate D.
