CALVIN STOWELL I can build just about anything. I grew up making custom cabinetry. LIZ EDDY If I can see it in front of me, I can draw it. And I can cook almost anything without a recipe! ALYSSA RUDERMAN I give pretty stellar hugs; I can turn almost any item into an arts and crafts project, and my 90's playlists might make you fall in love with me. JEFF BLADT I brew my own beer, played on my high school bridge team, and was a member of my university's badminton club. ELLIE ZEITLIN Making quesadillas (but it's not such a secret anymore). NANCY LUBLIN I can change a diaper with one hand, while texting with the other. MICHAEL CHITTENDEN I'm a piano player. CHRIS JOHNSON I used to write new age music for piano/synth. FAVORITE MEMORY? JOHN KULTGEN This is collective - I love when one staff member's catchphrase becomes a staff-wide term. "I can't." "Cool, cool." "My body is ready." These are all personal sayings that went viral in the office. BOB FILBIN Visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios with coworkers before staff retreat. Yes, it was magical. BARRY CLARK The DoSomething.org team sending me an awesome congratulations video after getting engaged in Europe this year. LAUREN SMITH Creating #HOWDSISTHAT with Farah. We're taking over the world, one .gif at a time. JESSICA SCHEER Visiting with Violet for the first time. I felt so much love! And so did she- she was carried away by a gaggle of employees so they could oogle her. 2012 SUMMER INTERNS Throughout the year, we hire paid college interns in each of our departments who help us out a ton. Interning at DoSomething.org is a great way to learn the ins and outs of the not-for-profit world, work in a fun and young office environment, and gain great work experience. We asked the interns, "Why is DoSomething.org the best internship ever?" Here's what they said: BRAD WILLIAMS! Because you get to work with the most motivated, intelligent and friendly staff the world has ever seen. #OurOfficeIsBetter LINDSEY WILDEROTTER Because we're encouraged to give our opinions every day and have them mean something. MO GODIN Because you are in an environment of people who love what they are doing and care a great deal about making change in the world. LAURA HANCOCK Because our supervisors genuinely care about us and provide us with professional development opportunities. NAOMI HOCHBERG Because "intern" is just a title, not a definition. NONA MAKAVEEVA Because the only people we get coffee for is ourselves. In our awesome office. Where scootering around is socially appropriate. But mostly because it's fun, impactful, and probably one of the few internships where I actually want to stay after work. ELISE MORDOS Because the DS staff has mastered the ability to create a high productive and extremely fun, lively work environment. And best of all, as interns, we feel like our roles here actually matter. NAMI MODY Because I honestly can't think of one reason why it's not. COLLEEN WORMSLEY Because I get to come in every day and do what I love and work with people I love. Plus, it's my job to get other people to spread some DoSomething.org love. So much love. KATIE LAHEY It doesn't feel like an internship at all. We get paid to learn in a super positive and creative environment! 2012 SUMMER INTERNS GABY KORNBLAU Because not a day goes by when we don't get to enjoy a good snack, a scooter ride, and the company of the most creative, fun, and inspiring people you'll ever meet. JETT HOUSE Because if there were beds I would live here. DAVID FURNES Because you're given the same responsibilities and opportunities to contribute as a full staff member... and we have delicious bake-offs. NIYETI SHAH Because you're treated like a full time staff member, your ideas are listened to and you're surrounded by people who truly want to make a difference. (And on Friday Felicia dressed up as Katy Perry). ANNIE LECLUYSE The activities, brown bag lunches, and outings we participate in and get to be a part of, the community that is created between the interns and staff, getting to come to work to help others do good and make a difference. TERESA ROCA Because DoSomething.org is more than just an internship. It is a place where our supervisors care about us, where we are listened to, where we are taught important skills, and where we feel like a family. JESSENIA RIOS Because it's an inspiring experience in every sense of the way!! SAMANTHA BRAIN Because I could not imagine spending my summer anywhere else. The people, the atmosphere, and the work that we have the opportunity to do is simply amazing. MONICA SON Because every morning I am greeted by a magical feeling that gets me excited to do work and ask for more. Then I realize I'm surrounded by people who feel the same way. Weird. FELICIA FITZPATRICK Because every day here is like Christmas morning as I open a gift containing Zac Efron while I eat an unlimited amount of s'mores after being crowned a Disney princess. KRYSTEN TOM Because every day is casual Friday! GRETCHEN WARD Because... Everything. MICHELLE AZZI Because I'm able to work on projects I love with people I love for an organization I love. I've learned more in 10 weeks at DoSomething. org than I have in most of my classes. KELLY LARGE ^^^ All of the above ^^^ #2 OFFICE SPACE We love our new digs. Our open floor plan and superhero-themed conference rooms promote collaboration and innovation. BEST THING ABOUT THE NEW OFFICE? After eight long years in our beloved Union Square office, we realized it was time to move on to bigger and better things. Even though breaking up is hard to do, we couldn't be happier with our new space. Only a few blocks away in the Flatiron district, there is plenty of room to house our growing staff and our year-long college and high school internship program. We now have a spacious kitchen, in-office gym, and several conference rooms (named after super heroes' lairs). BAYLEE GREENBERG SO much daylight! GLEB BOUNDIN Having a server room instead of a server closet. RAVELLE MOHAMMED How bright it is! The orchids and that we're all in the same space :) REBECCA GARCIA The orchids! They're my favorite flower. I also love that we ride scooters around the office. MAXWELL WATSON Late night scooter races with Dave DeLuca. TOP: We roll around THE OFFICE in style. LEFT: Our disco ball gets the party started. RIGHT: Barry Clark holds the highest Ms. Pacman score - 62,220! #3 SABBATICAL We don't want you to live in a bubble. After two years, you can take a paid, four-week sabbatical to volunteer anywhere in the world. DOSOMETHING.ORG HQ NEW YORK, NY WHERE WOULD YOU GO? DoSomething.org employees are eligible for a 4-week paid, volunteer sabbatical after 2 years of continuous, full-time work with the organization. Our employees use this well-deserved time for personal fulfillment and further professional experience. We know lots of other organizations do great things and we want our employees to volunteer with them, learn from them � and most of all, come back refreshed and invigorated! We asked our staff where they want to take their sabbatical. South Africa and South East Asia were the two most popular choices. UPCOMING KENIA BAUMGARTEN This September I'm working with an NGO that focuses on health care and education initiatives in the slums of Mumbai. NAOMI HIRABIYASHI This October I'm going to north central Kenya to live with the samburu tribe. I'll be volunteering with the Thorn Tree Project at a school in the village to help teach English and work on their girl empowerment program. WISH LIST Afghanistan: Muneer Africa: George, Keri, Ravelle, Marah Argentina: Gleb Australia: Sarah Beirut: Jeff Cambodia: Rebecca Egypt: Nadir Hong Kong: Calvin Japan: Nancy Kenya: Naomi South America: Baylee, Aria Southeast Asia: Greg, Chloe South Africa: Liz, Christina, Sydney, Kenia, Barry Thailand: Farah, Jacob, John UGANDA: Lauren Sea turtle rescue in the Atlantic: Jon #4 ALL TYPES OF BENEFITS We totally believe in Work Hard, Play Hard. (We offer top-notch health benefits and plenty of vacation time too) EVENTS OFFICE WARMING PARTY Our COO Aria Finger toasts to our sweet new space KICKBALL In case you haven't already noticed, our summers are packed with awesome things. Perhaps the best part of a DoSomething.org summer is our weekly kickball game with other New York City organizations we love. The staff and interns unite for a friendly game of kickball dressed in our custom matching t-shirts. Win or lose, it's always a great time and we celebrate together after the game! GROUP OUTINGS We're a quirky, close-knit family of social changers who love to spend time together outside of the office. We regularly plan fun outings that bring us closer together (if that's even possible). This summer, some outings we had included a trip to Coney Island and a Staten Island Yankees game. We also LOVE karaoke. SAY CHEESE STAFF RETREAT @ DISNEY WORLD BEST FACE AWARD IS A TIE BETWEEN ALYSSA & MARAH BAKE-OFFS Besides teens and social change, something we take very seriously at DoSomething.org is snacks. We hold bake-offs every couple of weeks to put our staffs' baking abilities to the test. Some of our favorite bake-offs have included: pie-a-palooza, colossal cupcake challenge, pumpkin everything!, and many more. Be warned: snag `em before lunchtime or they'll be gone. They're that good. BUST A MOVE Holidays, birthdays, or any days, no one can pass up our part-ays. Our staff is lively and hard-working, always giving us a reason to celebrate. (Willingness to dance is basically a job requirement). School Spirit Day SPIRIT DAYS Mmm..smells like DoSomething.org spirit! At 1:30 p.m. on Fridays, everyone gathers into our lobby and shows off their hilarious Spirit Day outfits. This summer we've seen hippies, Mad Men characters, superheroes, and everything in between. Our most popular Spirit Day was "College Day" where we saw 25 of our staff and interns rep their school. Top LEFT: Decades Day Top RIGHT: Fictional Character Day Bottom Left: Superhero Day Bottom Right: Unofficial Dress in Blue Plaid Day #5 WE'RE POPULAR You'll interact with experts in the not-for-profit space. We have pretty awesome friends. TALK NERDY TO ME Here at DoSomething.org, we want to learn as much as we can from awesome people. From attending conferences to hosting our Brown Bag Lunch series in the office, we get to hear some pretty smart ideas and cool stories. Here are some of our staff's favorite speakers. ALYSSA RUDERMAN Van Jones was pretty great. So smart. So inspiring. So dreamy. CHRISTINA BLACKEN Van Jones. Hands down the most inspirational and funny dude I've come across in my lifetime. Doesn't hurt he's nice on the eyes! CHAQUANA LYONS Nancy's TED speech. Moving. Inspirational. Powerful. Just like Nancy. MARAH LIDEY I am constantly amazed and wowed by the strong, bright women on the team and the talks that they give. Watching Aria, Nancy or Naomi speak is always a treat for me. CHLOE LEE Anytime Nancy, Aria, or Naomi make a presentation or speak. Their humor, data, and enthusiasm make them the perfect reps for DS and you can be sure to be 111% engaged in what they have to say! FARAH SHEIKH Jeff Bladt. Data Presentation. Every. Single. Week. #6 PARTNERS AND SPONSORS We know the cool people. A�ropostale, American Express, Toyota, and Bing are companies we work with, to name a few. FAVORITE CAMPAIGNS Our national cause campaigns are pretty awesome. They allow teens to make a real, measurable impact and they never require money, a car, or an adult. Even though we love all our campaigns, we asked our staff members which campaign is their favorite and why. Give a Spit came in first place. MIKE FANTINI Give a Spit. It proves that small actions can go a long ways towards saving lives. I got swabbed last year in the office and was recently selected to be a back-up donor for a 54 year old with leukemia. KATIE RADFORD Give a Spit! Mostly because I got called to be a possible match for a donation. So excited! ARIA FINGER Give a Spit. Bone Marrow for Life. We've saved 10 lives, keep `em coming! APRIL WRIGHT pregnancy TEXT Pregnancy Text - I think it's a fun & innovative way to create awareness around teen pregnancy & what it means to raise a baby. It's like a modern day tamagotchi! CHAQUANA LYONS Looking forward to Pics for Pets rolling out. I plan to be active in going to the shelters to take pictures and help some pets get a home! KENIA BAUMGARTEN I am super excited for the Animal campaign. It's going to be awesomesauce. KERI GOFF My favorite campaign is Thumb Wars because of all of the crazy goofy pictures that teens take with them. It also promotes safe driving! #7 KARAOKE We celebrate accomplishments, often with late night karaoke. #7 We celebrate accomplishments, often with a night of karaoke. #8 ROOM TO GROW We're proud mamas and papas that want you to succeed. Your position is not limited to your job description. #9 #FAILFEST We don't fire because of failures. We build, plan, and design things that may fail in order to form new, innovative ideas. We have a day called "FailFest" where we highlight these). Yes, you have to wear a pink boa when presenting. #10 PLACE TO LEARN We're like going to business school. You learn the same skills, but WE pay YOU. #11 WE <3 TEENS We get teens (we constantly write SMH, HMU, and THX). We feed off of their energy, passion, and potential to make change. We even have high school interns year round that help around the office. BEST STAT / PIECE OF DS DATA NAOMI HIRABAYASHI We activated 2.4 million young people to take action around causes they care about in 2011. That's a movement, and I can't wait to see that movement grow even more! SYDNEY COHN During the Teens for Jeans campaign this year, we collected so many jeans that if we laid them out across the country, they would stretch from NYC to Chicago! NADIR HAJIYANI 100,000+ people have taken the bully quiz on our facebook app. MUNEER PANJWANI That we saved 8 lives via our Give A Spit campaign. ALYSHA BOLOGNO Within the first two weeks of Pregnancy Text, we were receiving 1 unsolicited response every 10 seconds. Woah! GREG THOMAS 93% of teens say they want to volunteer, but only 22.5% actually do. It shows the need for what we do. GEORGE WEINER DS teens are 40x more likely to take action if they are texted versus if they are emailed. CALVIN STOWELL We clothed 2 out of 3 of the homeless youth in the United States with Teens for Jeans. That's awesome. DAVE DELUCA 1 to 2.3 viral loop for Pregnancy Text. And that's JUST. THE. BEGINNING. SARAH PIPER-GOLDBERG We are 0 for 3 in kickball. This is not my favorite piece of data, but it's necessary -- anyone out there have long legs? ARIA FINGER We have members in 1 in 3 high schools in the US. APRIL WRIGHT Teens are 40X more likely to sign up for a campaign via mobile. INTERNS Like our college intern program we have high school interns in our office year round. Not only do they bring even more fun energy to our office, they also help us to connect directly with our member base. APATHY SUCKS NO, REALLY. IT DOES. Campaigns Manager (and Jedi) April Wright fights apathetic droid, CTO George Weiner GLOSSARY Brown Bag Lunch Series DoSomething.org brings in awesome speakers on Tuesday afternoons during the summer. Old people Anyone over age 25. PSA Public Service Announcement, or "ad" for a campaign. Ours usually involve a celebrity. Check out www.YouTube.com/DoSomething1 to see them first-hand. Cause-y Related to or having to do with a cause that we care about. CELEB-WRANGLING The process of doing outreach to, acquiring, and confirming celebrities to participate in Do Something campaigns, programs, events & initiatives. Shake Shack Delicious, a very popular local joint where we get food for the office. SWAG Our term for DS gear. Chief Old Person Nancy Lublin, our oldest and most chief staff member (i.e. the CEO). Toto Tuesday Toto's Africa is our unofficial anthem. Every Tuesday at 5 p.m. we play it loud in the office. It helps us leave work at a normal time (6 p.m.) on Tuesdays and it's a MUST for every karaoke outing. Do-er Young person that takes social action in their community/on a cause or topic they care about. DRUPAL drupal.org is an open source code platform that DoSomething.org is built on.

by Sarah Henderson cross posted from her blog Feminist in Spite of ThemA few months I wrote a post called Navigating the Justice System Part 1: Alone at 9 Years Old. This post is the story of what it was like for me to experience a Children's Aid investigation and a court case, from my perspective as a child. It skips pretty quickly over what the social workers were like and what they did, and I didn't talk very much about the involvement of other agencies and groups. … [Read more...]
How I Was Almost Rescued from Abuse
Quoting Quiverfull: Motherhood is Servanthood?
by Nancy Campbell at Above Rubies - To Serve or Not to Serve I have been thinking about our great role of "serving" in motherhood. As a young mother I remember feeling "I'm just a jolly servant around this place." I was still filled with selfishness, and although I loved my children and loved motherhood, I still wondered why I had to be the servant. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Stay At Home Daughters Are Slaves?
by Suzannah Rowntree at Ladies Against Feminism - Is Stay-At-Home Daughterhood Biblical? But there was one thing missing from my convictions on "stay-at-home" daughterhood. Folks—particularly Christian peers—would remind me that the Bible doesn't specifically command, describe, or endorse the concept, and therefore one could not make it a rule for everyone. Up until recently, I found this reasoning pretty fair. None of the books I read on the subject of daughterhood and the family made more than a persuasive argument from Scripture—certainly nothing I found convincing. Most of the factors in my own decision had been personal, and while I loved the life so much, I couldn't recommend it to oth … [Read more...]

CTBHHM: Having a Nervous Breakdown? Selfish Woman!
by Libby Anne cross posted from her blog Love, Joy, FeminismCreated To Be His Help Meet, pp. 156—159"I'm About to Have a Nervous Breakdown." That is how Debi titles this bit, which closes out her section teaching young women "to be sober." This should be interesting, right? Well . . . as you might expect, she basically spends the whole time telling women that nervous breakdowns are their own damn fault for being so selfish and that they need to purpose to stop having them. Yay. As she often does, Debi starts with a letter, prefacing it with this: … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Give or it Will be Ripped From You?
by Bambi from the blog In The Nursery of the Nation - Motherhood and the Paradox of Dying to Live There are days of motherhood, long seasons even, that are quite laborious. And if you are like me, motherhood brought about the first time you were ever really tested in this matter of laying down your life. Took me a long time to realize that the things motherhood took from me while I was still resentful of it, was not true sacrifice. I would keep a mental tally of just how many bottoms I wiped, how many corrections I had given and just how long it took me to get school done that day. How many … [Read more...]

False Dichotomies: "Homeschooled Girls vs. Feminists"
by Samantha Fields cross posted from her blog Defeating the Dragons So, Robert Knight, an extremely conservative writer for Townhall and whose articles occasionally appear in publications like the Washington Times, wrote an article last Tuesday called "Homeschooled Girls vs. Feminists." Since the article spends most of its time talking about grown women, I have to admit to some mild annoyance to the persistent infantilization of women in conservative circles. College-aged females are women, thank you. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: You Can't Take Your Paycheck to Bed?
by Suzanne Venker posted at Ladies Against Feminism and Fox News - Why women still need husbands Financial independence is a great thing, but you can't take your paycheck to bed with you. And there's nothing empowering about being beholden to an employer when what you really want is to have a baby. That's dependency of a different sort.This is the conclusion to which most women have come. Research shows that what women want more than anything else is not to work full-time and year-round but to live balanced lives. … [Read more...]

Duration: 3 x 60' HD
DARWIN'S BRAVE NEW WORLD recounts the extraordinary and often harrowing story of Charles Darwins 30-year struggle to piece together the mystifying puzzle he saw in nature and finally publish his theory about the evolution of life on earth. In this three-part dramatised series, we meet the man, his family, and the colleagues who supported him through years of illness, isolation, agonizing self-doubt and religious crisis. We gain a glimpse into the courage and tenacity it took Darwin and the other great thinkers who surrounded him to change the way they understood the world, and their place in it.

EDITORIAL: Our Ice Bucket Challenge
Kathy Davis, who coordinates the process for creating advertisements that run in the Times-Mirror, stepped forward amid the serious fun to remind us that her uncle and a fellow employee's father were suffering from ALS.
It was Kathy's poignant moment that touched all of us participating in the Times-Mirror's Ice Bucket challenge http://www.facebook.com/pages/Loudoun-Times-Mirror/16779603787). It also touched those who watched it.
John Wood, the CEO of Telos, called to say that Kathy's words touched his family, too. Woods' mother-in-law has the disease.
Many community leaders and elected officials have called us, too, about our small role in the phenomenon that's sweeping the nation. Each has had a story of their own to tell.
Like other Ice Bucket Challenges, readers and Facebook friends continue to spread our story and yours through their social personal networks.
Some lead to a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h07OT8p8Oik created by Anthony Carbajal, a 26-year-old who was recently diagnosed with ALS. Like so many victims, the disease runs in Anthony's family. His grandmother had it, his mother currently lives with it and he himself was diagnosed just five months ago. Watch the entire video.
Skeptics and cynics have criticized the Ice Bucket Challenge as stunt publicity, a silly social media fad that allows people to feel good about themselves without really doing much. Carbajal's video will change your mind. So will our Page One story next week about how our community has responded to the challenge.
Whether fun, serious or both, the challenge has raised awareness beyond imagination about a rare condition previously known to a few by its association to baseball Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig. Last month marked the 75th anniversary of Gehrig's "Luckiest Man Alive" speech at Yankee Stadium in 1939.
It has taken 75 years to raise only a few million dollars for ALS research. Since the Ice Bucket Challenge more than $50 million has been raised by the ALS Association, which supports research into the degenerative condition.
We were proud to get wet in the Ice Bucket Challenge.
See Sam Stein: "Lawmakers Who Cut Funds For ALS Research Take Ice Bucket Challenge For ALS Research" &
"Since 2011, House Republicans have cut NIH funding by billions. And you thought dumping ice water on your head was cold." @john_dingell
Personal stories touching yes. Is it wasteful to dump h20? Just prefer Carole King's method = over stream

WOODY — Kern County Sheriff's personnel said two people were killed in a plane crash whose wreckage was found near this community Monday morning.
The plane was en route from the San Diego area to Fresno, according to an email from Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor.
The coroner's office identified the two men on board as James Johnston, of Sanger, and Jacob Curiel, of Imperial.
Ages of the men were not released, and autopsies are pending.
At about 4 p.m. Sunday, air traffic controllers lost radar and radio contact with the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza about 9 miles southeast of Porterville, Gregor wrote.
The sheriff's department received a call of a missing plane at about 7 p.m. Sunday in the vicinity of Woody, a mountainous area about 30 miles northeast of Bakersfield off Highway 155.
Search and rescue teams looked Sunday night but the sheriff's department could not conduct an aerial search because of the weather, Kern County Sheriff's spokesman Ray Pruitt said. Some search and rescue team members stayed the night and set up a command post.
One of the sheriff department's helicopters was able to search the area Monday morning and found the crash site.
"Our air unit was able to touch down in the area, that was about an hour ago," Pruitt said just before 10 a.m.
A command post was established on Highway 155 about 8 miles east of Highway 65, and Pruitt said sheriff's personnel would probably work the site for at least the next couple of days. A sheriff's helicopter was continuously ferrying people back and forth from the crash site Monday afternoon.
Pruitt said he'd been told the crash site is a relatively large area, even though the plane itself was fairly intact. The area where it crashed is hilly and muddy and only reachable by helicopter or ATV.
"It's going to be challenging because it's in such a remote location," he said.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, according to Gregor.

If you're like most merchants, your customers—and consequently your sales—are being spread across many different online and offline sales channels. For example, in addition to selling through your online store, you might be selling at retail stores or pop-up shops, through online marketplaces, on social media, within native mobile apps, and more. This likely means you're spending hours each day synchronizing products, merging customer databases, and doing a lot of manual work in different tools just to run your business. With the increasing number of sales channels that are becoming available, this way of doing things just isn't sustainable.
You'll need to replace this painful patchwork of systems with a simple, unified platform. One that can be used to effortlessly sell your products in all of your different sales channels. We have been designing Shopify to be that platform.
Today, we're excited to announce two updates to your Shopify admin that make it easier to manage and sell your products across all of your sales channels.
These upgrades are free to all Shopify merchants and will be released over the coming week.

On February 25, we reported that Samsung would be stopping work on Bada OS while merging some of its features into Tizen OS, making the latter operating system backwards compatible with Bada apps. Almost a month later, word surfaced yet again that the Korean company will be releasing a high-end Tizen smartphone in August or September of this year, but all went silent again. Now a Tizen-based Samsung smartphone has been imaged and leaked online.

Canada: The world's newest petrostate isn't playing nice anymore.
- By Adrienne KlasaAdrienne Klasa is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
Nearly 24 hours of voting, 425 pages of legislation, over 800 proposed amendments: This is the marathon from which Canadian members of parliament (MPs) emerged on June 15.
The session, characterized by the Globe and Mail as "22-plus hours of consecutive spanking" of the dissenting opposition parties by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative majority government, will allow the government to push through omnibus bill C-38.
Canadians are up in arms about the bill because it includes legislation that will weaken and threaten the legal status of leading environmental groups.
Because Harper is determined to build a new pipeline out of the Alberta tar sands, the center of Canada's oil industry with known reserves that rival Saudi Arabia's. And he is not about to wait for November to get it done.
The proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would have funneled Canadian oil down to refineries on the Gulf Coast, remains in political deadlock after the Obama administration blocked the deal in January.
Incensed by Obama's decision, Harper claimed the pipeline process was being "held hostage" because "certain people in the United States would like to see Canada be one giant national park for the northern half of North America."
In the meantime, Harper's government, as well as impatient oil exporters and Asian markets hungry for Canadian crude, are determined to find new ways out of land-locked Alberta in order to increase oil export volumes.
The New York Times reported on June 14 that the Canadian government has three pipeline route proposals on the table:
"Enbridge, a transporter of Canadian oil exports, announced a $3 billion plan called Eastern Access. It is seeking permission to build a new "Northern Gateway Pipelines" network, to bring 525,000 barrels a day to Canada's Pacific Coast. Kinder Morgan, a Texas-based energy company, said it will nearly double the capacity of an existing pipeline network along a different route."
All of these options will have to overcome staunch opposition by indigenous groups and well-entrenched environmental interests on both coasts. Which brings us back to the reasoning behind the Conservative government's push to pass the omnibus bill with the intent of weakening these groups' legal footing.
In order to further quell dissent, Harper's government has also been going after anti-pipeline charity and advocacy groups. A variety of groups, including Tides Canada and ForestEthics, have been threatened with having their charity status revoked. Canadian regulations have long maintained that charities cannot devote more thant 10 percent of their budgets to advocacy. Additional laws pushed through as part of the C-38 package "will bring more scrutiny to foreign funding for charities and also how they use money for political purposes. Charities will also have to take more responsibility for the political activities of groups to which they give money."
The government has also insinuated that shadowy foreign entities are responsible for funding charities in their efforts to derail Canada's well-oiled ascendance to the status of petrostate. The Conservatives' new efforts to regulate "transparency" in Canadian charities has gone so far as to alarm large foundations with names like Bronfman, Asper and Bombardier on their letterheads.
Turns out even Canada is not immune to the lure of "black gold."

Hi guys! Nice to come across this thread. I have a couple of questions for the other Brits here.
1) Are there ever any CA meets in the north of England? (flipping quickly through here, I've seen some mentioned in London, but I'm about as far from London as you can get without being in Scotland).
2) Do any of you know of any workshops anywhere in the UK in the field of concept art/illustration, either in digital or traditional media? There seem to be plenty of these in the US run by industry professionals but I'm having trouble finding anything similar here, and I'd love to spend a few days with someone who is actually an active concept artist or illustrator in the fantasy/sci-fi/the-kind-of-stuff-on-CA genre.

Hey all!
A friend of mine is helping to organize an digital art exhibition and I'd thought I would spread the word here as it might be of interest. There is a call for entries so do go ahead and take part and submit something if you fancy a shot at winning the number of cash prizes. Heres more details I got from them.
We were wondering if you'd be interested in entering your work to the world's first competition for the very best fine art created digitally.
We're offering cash prizes of US$5000 in a juried contest and a place on our website for every single entrant for a further competition to be settled by an open, public vote. All 50 shortlisted works and the 4 Lumen winners will form the heart of a travelling exhibition that will move from London, Berlin, Riga, Hong Kong and Shanghai, with more location to be confirmed soon, starting in January 2013.
Call for Entries is now open and we are accepting both 2D and time-based work.

Lucy Donovan has always subscribed to the finer things in life. That is, until a fateful trip to the Bahamas and an even more fateful encounter with the sexy, cynical Chris Maddox. His take on the world leaves her speechless. So does his gorgeous body. Lucy knows he brings out the best in her, but can she give everything up for him? For them?
Chris Maddox is totally amazed by the incredible woman who keeps surprising him at every turn. Lucy is unlike anyone he's ever met, and she's the only one who's ever really gotten to him. He's not just taken with her beauty and sophistication—it's the woman inside that's captivated him. Chris knows she brings out the best in him, but can he ask her for all and let them risk having nothing instead?
According to her mother, Sonny was a lazy, good-for-nothing bum. To Lucy, he was a free spirit, an explorer, maybe even a pirate. Though her life reflected her mother's values, somewhere in Lucy's soul flowed the blood of the great adventurer she imagined him to be.
She swiped at her eyes and forged on. The ticket booth doubled as a gift shop with displays of key chains and shells. A young man with brown hair nodded as she approached.
"Hi, I'm Lucy Donovan, Sonny's daughter. I'm supposed to see a Bailey."
His face broke into a smile that combined relief and welcome. "Boy, are we glad to see you, Lucy, and welcome to Sonny's. I'm Bill. Bailey's in the office over there."
"Thanks, Bill." She paused just inside the gate, finding it hard to believe she owned this park right on the ocean. To her left, several in-ground pools sparkled in the sunshine, one with a group of peopleclustered around it. A sign announced a square tank of water as the Touching Tank. People picked up conch shells and crabs and examined the creatures with wonder. Everyone made her feel overdressed, even though she'd taken off her linen jacket the moment she'd stepped off the plane and succumbed to the muggy heat.
She headed to a small building snugged next to a larger one with a sign over its gaping entrance that read Aquariums. Inside the office, a thin black man stood by a battered desk, rubbing his temples and clutching the phone. The desk and shelves were cluttered with papers and seashells.
The man picked up a letter. "But dere has to be some mistake, mon. Yah, I see the man's signature, but ... so I cannot even shoot him? Okay, okay. No, I won't shoot him, I promise." The lyrical way he spoke made her smile despite his annoyance. He dropped the phone into the cradle.
She stepped forward, her hand extended. "You must be Bailey. I'm Lucy Donovan, Sonny's -"
"A yu, Miss Lucy! Yah, I see Sonny in you, same brown eyes and hair, same length, too." She touched her shoulder-length hair, but he rambled on. "Am I glad to see you, yes I am. We have a problem, a big problem. The man out dere is tiefing da big fish. A wicked man, dat one. He come dis morning and say he taking our fish. Nobody will come to da park if dere's no big fish, and without people you got no money, no money means no park, and no park means no job, no job means no food. I got five childrens to feed, an' t'ree goats." He took a deep breath. "Miss Lucy, you got to kick the wicked man outta here."
Cleaning out her father's place and deciding what to do about the park she now owned was part of her agenda. So was finding out what her father was really like at the risk of her fanciful dreams. Kicking out some wicked man was not on the list of things she wanted to tackle.
"You said a man was tiefing?"
"Tiefing. Stealing. He be taking our main fish, Randy. Come, I show you."
"Wait a minute," she said, but he kept walking. "How can someone steal a fish?"
She followed him toward the cluster of people. All she knew about fish was to make sure it was fresh and thoroughly cooked. This knowledge probably wasn't going to help much. But she did know subordinate workers.
She slipped on her jacket, effecting her boss persona, and asked Bailey, "Does anyone else work here?"
"No, jus' me, Bill, and Big Sonny, him being in da past tense of course."
The crowd mumbled and grumbled. "Hey, we paid to see a perr-formin' dolphin," a large man drawled. "That guy says we can't go near him. What kind of deal is this, anyway?"
"Yeah, I want my money back," another chimed in. "Me, too! I heard about these island rip-off artists."
"Nooo, no rip artists here, mon." Bailey turned to give her a woeful look, then raised his palms and turned back to the crowd. "We're working on da problem, mon. Go play wit' da conchs and crabs in da Touching Tank, and we get da big show ready. Go, go," he said, wiggling his fingers.
They moved away, but didn't leave. Obviously they thought a better show was about to be performed. Lucy's throat went dry, but anger prickled through her at the thought of some man stealing the main attraction. What nerve. She pushed back her sleeves and stepped up to the knee-high fence that surrounded all the pools.
The man standing in chest-deep water on a platform paid absolutely no attention to anything but the large form circling in the pool with him. He was probably in his early thirties, with blond hair burnished gold by the sun. His curls grazed the tops of strong, tan shoulders. Quite possibly he had one of the nicest chins she'd ever seen, strong and perfectly shaped. Something warm tickled through her. He could be an attraction himself: See Gorgeous Guy in Pool!
Bailey nudged her, and she blinked in disbelief. Good grief, she was supposed to kick the man out, not ogle him!
"Excuse me," she said, leaning over the fence. "Man in the pool."
The man pulled a fish out of a bucket. The big fish moved closer and popped its head out of the water. Oh, it was a dolphin like Flipper! Ridges of tiny teeth lined its open mouth, and for a moment she worried about the man's long fingers. The big fish caught its supper in midair, landing with a graceful splash. The crowd clapped sporadically, but the man didn't even glance up.
"Excuse me," she said, louder this time. "Please get out of the pool so we can discuss this."
He glanced up at her then, insolence in vivid eyes the color of the sparkling ocean beyond him. She felt her stomach twist. Before she could even admonish herself for getting caught up in his eyes, he'd turned back to the dolphin.
The pattern in the concrete made her heels a little shaky, but she stepped over the gate and the sign he'd obviously put up that said Keep Out, and walked to the edge. No one ignored Lucy Donovan. Running her own advertising company had given her an edge of authority, and if she could get past those eyes, she'd have him bowing in acquiescence in no time. The thought of him bowing in front of her also did strange things to her stomach.
She planted her hands on her hips, and in her best bosslike tone, said, "Out of the pool now, mister."
"Lady, if you're not careful, you're going to end up in the pool. Some of the tiles around the edge are loose."
"You think you can scare me away with a few loose tiles?" She glanced back at the crowd that probably thought this was some kind of skit. "Who are you and what right do you have to be in this pool? This is private property." Her private property.
The dolphin popped out of the water and caught the fish again. The crowd clapped. Anger surged. Forget his eyes! This guy is wicked, she thought, walking around to the side behind the dolphin.
"I want an answer or I'm calling the authorities."
"I already explained everything to that guy," the man said, waving vaguely toward Bailey but not looking at anyone but the big fish.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Since I'm the owner, why don't you explain it to me?"
The strength from her last statement trickled away when he turned those eyes on her, and she saw disgust. "You're the owner?"
Her shoulders stiffened. "Yes. And I want to know why you're molesting my fish."

Posted December 9, 2008
She barely talked to her father over the last decade or so as she considered him to be a no good lazy bum. So when Lucy Donovan inherits Sonny¿s Marine Park in Nassau, Bahamas from her dad, she visits with the intent of selling. Lucy prefers staying home where she works long hours as an ad executive.
At the park, someone is trying to kidnap the star attraction, Randy the dolphin. Lucy sees a gorgeous male in the pool molesting her fish. Chris Maddox founder of the Free Dolphin Society informs Lucy that Randy needs to swim free in the ocean with his peers as opposed to being caged in a chlorine pool. Chris and Lucy talk as he explains that he must untrain Randy so that the dolphin learns to use his echolocation skills. As the mainlander and the dolphin ¿thief¿ become better acquainted, both realizes that the other brings out the best qualities in them. However, he has a world to save and she has issues remaining from her estrangement with her father making a permanent relationship less likely than society ending the caging of animals.
THE BEST OF ME is a strong contemporary romance containing a powerful plot involving the freeing of captive dolphins. The story line works due to a wonderful support cast including Randy and the lead couple, though Lucy¿s carries too much baggage that often conflicts with the Free Randy theme for the dominant plot. Still, fans will root for the precociously intelligent Randy and want Lucy and Chris to make it together saving the world.

Loved tricam's since the first time I placed one in Jtree. Set correctly, they'll hold up your truck (or your mother). Stiff webbing on the Evo's make them a breeze to set, even the floppy ones set well, just rest the cam on your finger and push it where you want it placed. Set with a tug. Couldn't be happier, I always take these up routes with me because they're quick and fun to set and hold like there's no tomorrow.
I had a #2 placed in a crack that I should of put a #3 so of course, It poped out. I might have kinda left my #3 in my bag. Oops. As I was falling and looking at it sliping out, it kinda did a little dance on its way down the crack and I swear it winked at me. As it fliped from ACTIVE TO PASSIVE and rotated 90 degrees and wedged itself about 3 feet lower from where I placed it. I know it winked at me. Kinda like it said "don't worry buddy. I got this". Im not gunna lie. Best climbing equiptment experience ever. All I did right after is stare at it as it held my weight. I love That little gem. She goes with me every climb. Even if I dont use her she is there as my good luck charm.
