'Who the heck is Patrick Brown?' The party leader himself acknowledged Monday it's a prevaling question. But here's why Liberals should be growing nervous
Would a man face the same kind of leadership questions that Michelle Rempel has complained about? I don't know ... and that's a fair question to ask. But they sure as hell ought to be.
NDP finance critic Nathan Cullen is urging the Conservative government to reconsider postponing the federal budget until April
Drain 'virtue' from the Conservative agenda, and what is left?
Make no mistake: Liberals will no longer view a modest seat gain in 2015, or even a return to official Opposition status, as a victory. They've got their eye on the prize, a return to power.
Flawed methodology seems to explain why the Brandon-Souris polling numbers, which showed the Liberals with a commanding 29-point lead, were so off. The obvious solution is more regulation on the polling industry, in terms of standards and disclosure.
Fearing Trudeau, Harper would like nothing better than to galvanize organized labour behind Thomas Mulcair
The government leader in the Senate, Marjory LeBreton, planned to introduce a motion that would allow Auditor General Michael Ferguson's office the chance to conduct a "comprehensive" audit of the Senate's expenses
New research shows political affiliation affects our perceptions of potential mates.
Anything you can do we can do worse The Sun Media editorialists note that data from the Library of Parliament suggest the Conservative government in Ottawa is, contrary to what you've read in the lamestream media, actually more open and transparent in its committee work — "damn near an open book," in fact — than […]

Crying "Foul" Over Excessive Court Costs By Judy Valente • Aug 11, 2015 If you make a court appearance on a traffic ticket for a moving violation, you're probably in for a surprise when you pay your fine. All sorts of hidden fees and costs accompany the ticket that go far beyond the fine for the actual violation. That's because the state legislature uses traffic tickets as a kind of piggy bank to fund all sorts of programs -- and an increasing number of citizens are crying foul.

I was 21 when I had my first child. Ty and I were in college, and I went back to school a week after my c-section.
I was 23 when I had my second child. During her pregnancy, I was a mess. I had hyperemesis gravidarum. I am thankful my son survived on the cheese and crackers I threw on the table and the few minutes of parenting I could manage every day.
When my older two children were 3 and 1, their Daddy deployed for 2 years. We rarely saw him, and I learned the art of single-parenting (with the help of grandparents).
I was 27 when I had my third child. My older children didn't need as much care since they were 6 and almost 4, so I could focus a lot of attention on the baby.
And then the "crazy years" began…

Deeplinks Blog posts about Innovation
Today, Twitter announced the Innovator's Patent Agreement ("IPA"), an important tool in the fight to improve a broken patent system. They've posted the agreement to the collaborative development platform GitHub and are looking for feedback. It's become clear that traditional patent approaches just don't make sense when we're talking about software, so we're encouraged to see Twitter's efforts to let people take matters into their own hands.
On Friday, EFF went to court to argue that innocent Megaupload customers like Kyle Goodwin should be able to get their lost files back. We were particularly concerned because the government, which had originally seized the files and still apparently holds all of Megaupload's financial assets, had argued that it had no obligation to make sure the files of innocent Megaupload users were returned and, in fact, believed that they could be destroyed.
New Yorkers: Worried about whether you will have a right to watch local TV broadcasts on your Internet devices? Aereo is a company that lets users watch their local channels by renting a dime-sized antenna at Aereo's facility - one per customer. The signal from that antenna gets sent over the Internet to a single user. In effect, the company moves the "rabbit ears" antenna from the top of your TV set to a central facility. Aereo, like the VCR, the DVR, and many other video technologies, simply lets people watch the TV shows they already have a legal right to watch at different places and times, and on different devices. And just like they did with many of those technologies, copyright owners are suing to shut it down.
In Colombia, executive lawmakers are hastily pushing through a new copyright reform law for Congressional approval ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to Colombia in mid-April for the Summit of the Americas. In doing so, they are skirting existing legislative processes and forcing through a bill that exceeds international and US norms at the cost of Colombian citizens' rights.
The Internet can breathe a sigh of relief today. In the latest twist in the long-running Viacom v. YouTube litigation, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals revived the entertainment giant's suit against Google – but simultaneously eviscerated most of the legal theories on which the lawsuit was based.
Here's the quick and dirty: Back in 2010, a district court threw out Viacom's suit against YouTube, finding that the safe harbors outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act protected YouTube from all copyright liability. Viacom appealed, based on unprecedented legal theories that, if adopted, would have rendered the DMCA safe harbors a dead letter.

We came back to Swans after a 9 year hiatus. This cottage on beautiful Red Point did not disappoint.The view is without compare. The cottage quaint and well equipped. The dog loved the deer that came to graze at 4:30 in the morning and ducks,herons and a pair of loons rounded out the daily sightings.There is a murder of raucous crows that claim the back yard if so much as a crumb finds its way to the grass near the pond and the trout in the pond jump clear out of the water in their quest for bugs!.The owners are kind as well as helpful.Wish we could have stayed a month! Lobster tastes better on Swans than any other place on earth and there is never a shortage of things to explore or beaches to roam.Swans is not for everyone,but it is for those who love the sea for its raw beauty and those who appreciate a quieter way of life!
We just came back from our one week stay in this place. It is very nice. We went with another family. The kids had a lot of fun on the sand beach and pebble beach. I would highly recommend it for a quite and slow family time.
The rooms are clean with great views as shown on the pictures. It feels wonderful to wake to a peaceful ocean view.
Owner is very nice, answer all questions in time.
Slow time on the island. If you are able to find fun in nature, you are going to love it like I do.
Sand beach has clean water and many shells to pick. Few people on the beach.
Nice people on the island. Wave to everybody drove by or walk by.
No cell phone signal, at least for verizon. ( I didn't mind it).
Gabage drop off is inconvinent.
My wife and 5 children had a wonderful mini vacation at this property. The views from the upstairs bedrooms were simply outstanding and we all fell asleep to the moon over the ocean which could be seen right outside the windows. The house was well equipped and the owners were very nice and followed up with us frequently prior to our visit. Swans Island is a great place to go escape. We loved the local library and the views from the lighthouse were also outstanding.
Owen and Lucy
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this property on Swans island during August of 2010.
-Very charming, clean, well-maintained property. Private, wooded location.
-Bedrooms are spacious with clean, comfortable beds.
-Incredible view from the deck and bedrooms. Beautiful sunrises.
-Well appointed kitchen with grill and gas boiler (perfect for lobster) on the deck.
-Price. Even during the high season, the price of the property is VERY reasonable. And given the sleeping capacity, could be downright cheap for 2-3 couples.
-Information. I was forced to place multiple calls to the realtor/representative's office just to get the street address and driving directions to the property. Much of the information about the property is in a series of handwritten notes on the refrigerator. It would have been nice to get most of this information before arriving, or at the very least, compiled into a couple of printed pages. Example: Renters are supposed to remove their own garbage, but that would only be apparent if someone read all of the info on the multiple notes. We ended up having to move our garbage, as well the previous occupants' to the dump at the end of our stay.
-Beach. Or lack thereof. The oceanfront portion of the property is a seawall built of large round stones. They are pretty to look at, but treacherous to walk on. It was frustrating to have such a nice view, but no way to enjoy the ocean from the property itself. There are nice beaches within a 15 minutes drive.
-Damp basement. Even with two dehumidifiers running, the basement smelled very musty. We slept upstairs, but would have had a tough time in the basement bedrooms.
-The pond. The yard between the cottage and the seawall has been thoroughly dug up to put in a pond. While I am sure this will be an attractive feature in the future, it is a work in progress and is not represented in any of the photos of the property.
-Make ferry reservations 1 month in advance. While the island ferry can accommodate up to 16 vehicles, reservations are allowed for only 4 cars per trip. Reservations make the process MUCH less stressful.
-Bring absolutely all food and drink you will need for your stay. The only exception is fresh seafood, which is cheap and plentiful on the island.
-We found cell phone coverage at the cottage pretty weak. But the signal improves dramatically closer to the ferry terminal.
Clean, clean - mold and dust free - full kitchen wonderful new furniture and oh the view. Newer house that was very clean with large bedrooms and new mattresses. Water views that we sat on deck and admired for hours. Family of 4 - my boys played monopoly for 9 hours one day (who knew they could do that). Bring everything you will need like cooking oil & all foods- linens provided are nice and clean. I brought my own favorite cooking pan. Washer & dryer - be ready to conserve water.

'Belle of Amherst' best when profiling Dickinson's poetry

Homemade Lava Lamp Activity
Looking for some retro decorations? Make your own homemade lava lamp with this fun science project. Your child will learn about water and oil and their different densities with this hands-on project.
What You Need:
- Food coloring
- Water
- Vegetable oil
- Clean plastic bottle with cap
- Effervescent tablet
- Flashlight (optional)
What You Do:
- Pour oil into the empty bottle so that it fills it up 75% of the way. Pour water to fill up the rest of the bottle.
- Put 10 food coloring drops in the mix.
- Separate the tablet into 8 parts, and put just one piece into the bottle. The liquids should bubble!
- When the bubbles have settled down, put in a tablet piece again. Keep doing this until there are no more tablet pieces left and there are no more bubbles.
- Put the cap onto the bottle, and gently move the bottle back and forth. "Lava" forms!
How does it work? The little liquid bits come together to form one bigger droplet! The oil and water separate because oil has a bigger density than water. For added excitement, shine a light below the bottle to see some awesome colors!

Greetings fellow wrestling fanatics,
Today I am taking a look at an aspect of professional wrestling that some, if not many people do not realize the importance of. Selling a beating!
I don't necessarily mean the hardcore or sophisticated wrestling fans like most of you here on Bleacher Report, but the more casual or younger fans of the world.
They fail to see how relevant and important it is to make your opponent look as indestructible as possible.
To me, there are really two ways of "selling" in a match. One way is to take massive, stunt-like bumps, either from high altitudes like the tops of ladders or steel cages, or to take big hits from deadly weapons like ladders, chairs, chains and sledgehammers.
The second way, and to me the more difficult way, is to just look like you are realistically taking a beating.
You make your opponent look like he is absolutely destroying you, and everything he is doing is having an enormous effect on your body.
I decided to compile a list of my top ten sellers in WWE history. Obviously this is my opinion, and I base it solely on what I know, and that is the WWF/WWE, from the years of 1986 through the present.
So if Lou Thesz, Buddy Rogers and Gorgeous George were absolute brilliant sellers, I apologize for leaving them off my list as I have zero evidence to base it on.
I truly feel selling is a very important ingredient to make a good match great, and to make a great wrestler even greater.
Please feel free to comment and let me know who you think does the best job of selling a match. Here we go...

Bank of America says it will cut about 7,500 jobs after it closes its acquisition of Countrywide Financial.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank says the cuts will occur in the next two years in locations across the country "in instances where the two companies have significant overlap."
Bank of America expects to close the deal Tuesday, having received clearance from Countrywide shareholders Wednesday.
Countrywide had been the nation's largest mortgage originator before a spike in bad loans ravished its business. The deepening housing slump and lingering credit crisis have since fueled deep losses.
Countrywide lost about $1.6 billion in the last six months of 2007 and another $893 million in the first quarter of this year. It also faces numerous investigations and lawsuits related to its lending practices.

King Mill employees who lost their jobs when the Augusta textile plant closed in May won't get the immediate relief they say they're due.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John S. Dalis on Friday allowed the employees' involuntary bankruptcy case to proceed but delayed hearing a motion seeking assets of King Mill's parent company, Spartan International Inc., to pay the employees' medical bills.
First, Judge Dalis will hear arguments from Spartan International on Thursday that Spartanburg is the proper venue for the bankruptcy case to proceed. If he disagrees, the bankruptcy case would proceed in Augusta on Sept. 28.
Augusta attorneys John B. Long, Louis Saul and James Wilson have asked the bankruptcy court to order payment of the employees' medical bills ahead of other Spartan creditors. The lawyers contend the employees will suffer irreparable harm, such as the loss of their homes, if medical bills predating the mill's closing aren't paid.
The employees were not given the required 60-day notice that the plant would close. The abrupt cancellation of their medical coverage kept some employees and dependents with serious medical problems from getting other group insurance coverage, the lawyers said.
Insurance premiums were deducted from the employees' last paychecks, and there should have been money to pay the medical benefits, according to the lawyers.
"At this point in time, no one from Spartan or GE Capital has revealed what happened to the trust funds that should have been made available to pay these medical benefits," the lawyers stated in their Aug. 29 motion.
About 1,200 Spartan employees lost their jobs without notice May 4 when Spartan turned over the keys to five plants in Georgia and South Carolina to its principal creditor, General Electric Capital Corp.
At the request of GE Capital, South Carolina District Judge Margaret B. Seymour of Spartanburg appointed a receiver to sell off Spartan's assets, which would be turned over to GE Capital to help satisfy a $35 million debt.
Fifty-two former King Mill employees then filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition, but Judge Seymour found them in contempt and forced them to seek to withdraw it. Their lawyers appealed the case to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which found in the employee's favor Aug. 16 and put the case back in Judge Dalis' court.
GE Capital then filed a motion asking a U.S. District Court judge for the Southern District of Georgia to remove the case from Judge Dalis' Court. The district judge in Savannah has not ruled on that motion.
In court Friday, Mr. Long accused GE Capital of concocting a "grand scheme to trump the bankruptcy" by purposely creating a "judicial mess" to tie up Spartan assets, a claim GE lawyer Mark Maloney vehemently denied.
Judge Dalis asked Mr. Long what he would want if his motion to proceed with the bankruptcy Friday were granted.
Mr. Long said he wanted the same thing he wanted when he filed the bankruptcy petition May 31 - relief for the employees.
"I want you to order this (interim) trustee (Stephen Wallace) to take these assets and pay these people, not a month from now and not a year from now," Mr. Long said. "These folks need to have relief. ... GE said, 'The devil with these people.' They want to delay them indefinitely."
Mr. Maloney said he took "strong issue" with Mr. Long's comments, that GE's wishes were for the case "to go forward in an orderly, standard fashion."
After the hearing, some King Mill employees voiced frustration with the delay.
"I'm a little confused right now because I thought the judge had already decided on the issue of venue, so I don't know what to think right now," said former employee Martha Griffin. "I think it may be a delaying tactic by Spartan and GE. It looks like they're working together for some reason."
GE lawyers challenged the Augusta venue in June, but Judge Dalis ruled that the case would proceed here. Now he must rule on Spartan's challenge to the Augusta venue.

The various chapters in this book were written by authorities in particular fields of medical research. Thus, as the editors point out in their introduction, the general subject is not treated in a well-integrated or orthodox fashion, and not all aspects of research in medical science are covered. Chapters are devoted to such topics as the methodology of medical genetics and biochemical problems in sanitary engineering, as well as to the general subjects of viruses, chemotherapy, and neurology. The style of presentation of the contributing authors lacks uniformity, but one finds this seeming defect somewhat refreshing rather than distressing. In general, an attempt was made to survey the methods and problems as well as the recent accomplishments in particular fields of medical research and to discuss them in terms that could be easily understood by the nonspecialist.

Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
We really had an awful experience in this hotel. The air-conditioning in the room only work 2 out of 7 nights, the toilets are not fit for purpose and although the hotel claims wifi in the lobby, there is none. Infact, we had called the hotel sometime before our visit to confirm Wifi. The public toilets are not looked after well. We had to use the Wifi and toilets in an adjacent hotel. Customer service is also very poor. I did meet up with the French Manager who was very sympathetic and kindly offered us some compensation. I can however not recommend this hotel until many of the planned upgrades are fully implemented and that's a big job. We couldn't wait to escape.
Dear Mike00190, I remember very well talking with you to try to solve your problems. Your two main problems were your Toilets that were blocked and the internet access. As I explained to you, Internet is not under our power NEVERTHELESS, I have the great pleasure to inform all travellers that since last Friday 12th of August, the Wifi is working perfectly and quite fast in all the hotel and all the rooms. I am again sorry for your inconvenience. Best regards
Stayed for 2 nights. Great location. Rooms very tired, curtains didn't close, quite grubby - certainly not worth the price. Elevators were a joke - 1 out of 4 barely working. Only plus point is the a/c is decent. There must be better options in Havana.
Dear Archie211: Thank you to have dedicated a time to comment your stay in our hotel We feel a lot that your experience has not been in agreement to your expectations. We are in a stage of transformations and we will take all your comments with the purpose of improving. "I invite all future guest to write to me for any special request and above all if you are in the hotel if you have any problem please feel free to ask for me at the reception.

Lawmakers' support sought for new maple gradingThe Associated Press | February 14,2013WESTFIELD — Vermont lawmakers are once again considering whether the state should adopt a new international grading system designed to help consumers when they buy maple syrup.
The grades were designed by the International Maple Syrup Institute.

Teen Blog
The results are in! Our first ever Teen Video Contest brought us six funny and informative videos, all made by our super-talented local teens. The theme was, "Why My Library is Important to Me." From dogs who know best to fireside chats, each video was unique and enjoyable. We applaud all the great work! What was most heart-warming was seeing how many ways our teens use and appreciate the Central Rappahannock Regional Library. Some pointed out that it's a safe place to hang out with friends or work on group projects. Many admired the free Internet access, computer use, databases and online searching. They see their library as a quiet study retreat, a place to get professional research help, and most of all, a treasure trove of free books, music, and movies.
So, without further ado, here are the winners.
In first place, receiving the prize of a Flip digital video camera is Erik Martinsen, creator of the video, "Libraries are Doggone Fun!"

Some people call Hawaii paradise; Graham Salisbury called Hawaii home. The islands and surrounding waters are the locale for his compelling stories and novels.
Teen Tech Week may be officially over, but our Teen Video Contest is only at its halfway point.

How to reduce the side effects and keep your animal friend safe
One of the biggest dilemmas in holistic natural care are vaccines. Over the years, a variety of different studies have confirmed that what we were taught and told by vaccine companies is not true. There have even been some spoofs created that touch on the topic of vaccine production.
Recently, I attended a very serious medical emergency of a person, who had diabetes, renal insufficiency and a brain tumor and when the nurse suggested that a flu vaccine should be considered. I had to pinch myself to make sure that I was awake and that I was hearing correctly.
In reality, this should be considered malpractice because the vaccine labels say clearly that ill animals and people should not be vaccinated. Despite all this, many dogs and cats are still getting vaccinated even with serious medical problems or even cancer.
In veterinary medicine, the original recommendation that vaccines have to be given yearly has been adjusted even by some of the conventional organizations such as American Veterinary Medical Association. In my practice, I made the decision to recommend minimal vaccines and created alternative immunity protocols that are safe and effective. In my mind it doesn't make sense to inject our beloved dogs with mercury and formaldehyde beyond what is necessary because there is no such thing as "a little bit of poison."
When it comes to rabies, only a few countries and islands are lucky to be rabies free. For the rest of the world, rabies does continue to be threat that is less or more real depending on where you live.
The rabies vaccine has been a big dilemma for me because while it needs to be given in some cases, such as traveling, I have seen it cause strange and unusual behavior and side effects in some animals. I remember a dog that was absolutely fine and well adjusted until I gave him a rabies vaccine for import to New Zealand, a rabies-free country. Within a few days, this dog was terrified to come out of the house, feared people, shiny objects and water reflections. If you look up the signs of rabies, these symptoms strongly resemble the disease itself. While there is no conventional explanation for this, homeopaths suggest that a substance such as vaccine can carry the energetic imprint of the original disease. While vaccines don't cause the actual disease, they are known to cause symptoms that resemble it.
So what can you do about rabies vaccine? How can you reduce the side-effects and decrease the chances that formaldehyde and mercury will cause serious problems?
7 step approach to safer rabies protection:
- Evaluate the risks in your region. For example, in North America, the incidence of rabies is much greater on the east side of the Rocky Mountains. If your local statistic show that rabies has been found in local wildlife, it may be safer to vaccinate your dog or cat. All I can say is that no one can make the final decision for you and that indoor cats do not need to be vaccinated.
- Give only one rabies vaccine and measure antibodies from then on. Repeat the vaccine only if the antibodies are absent or very low. Most veterinarians recommend the first year rabies vaccine around or before six months of your puppy's age and then repeating it in one year. However, what I have seen is that the level of antibodies after one vaccine creates sufficient protection.
- A rabies titer blood test is a way of determining your dogs level of protection. If you live in a "rabies prone" area, yearly testing is advised. The test can be only done by a few government monitored labs around the world that also issue import and export certificates for travel. These titer level certificates are suitable for many countries, however, others still require a rabies vaccine and titer together if you decide to travel.
- Reduce the volume of vaccine given. In the past, I was not sure if giving a lesser volume of Rabies vaccine created good immunity but over the years, I learned that the same level of immunity can be induced by using only ¼ of the vaccine recommended volume. However, if you decide to give smaller amount of vaccine than recommended, I would always follow it by titer testing to ensure that the immunity is sufficient.
- As a precaution to any possible rabies vaccine side-effect that I mentioned above, I recommend that every dog and cat receives rabies vaccine is also given Lyssin 200 C a homeopathic remedy that is able to neutralize the vaccine side effects. Note that not every homeopathic pharmacy produces remedies under the same quality standards and getting a remedy from a reputable source is important.
- If you live in an area where rabies is a real threat and your dog gets bitten, I suggest that you request that the owner of the other animal provides you with the contact of a veterinary clinic where their pet was vaccinated. If that is not possible, you may attempt to get a rabies titer done quickly by sending the sample to the official lab to ensure that the level of antibodies is sufficient. I have not seen any official protocol of using intra-abdominal rabies antibody injections to dog in a similar way it is done in people exposed to an animal with rabies but I do not see a reason why it would not be possible. The idea of needing to euthanize an exposed dog free of rabies antibodies is a medieval approach to medicine and alternative approach must be ensured.

"I added 3 topics on this particular card and the designer actually re-did it so that the overall designing of this card is consistent throughout. Very happy with the job that they did."
"We used the Directions card for special requests from the Bride and Groom. We wanted to use a different font from the invitation and that was no problem. WPD designers are very accommodating and quick to respond. The enclosure card turned out great!"
"We used this enclosure card to include some additional details for our guests. This card is the same size as the rsvp card, which is my only negative comment. I would have liked if it was slightly larger to give some variation in sizes. Also, this card came with free envelopes which I thought was strange - in most wedding invitations this card has hotel information (or something similar) and would never need to be mailed back. Nonetheless, I accepted the free envelopes and hope to use them casually."
"We used these to go with the matching 'Tree Tale' invitations we bought. I loved them, they went perfectly with the invites and I adored the tree detail on the back. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I changed the direction card to Accommodations card. WPD was very helpful in customizing my text. Once I received the finished product it looked great. Pink text at the top matches the Tea Rose invitation perfectly & paper thickness matched the invitation."
