Posted on 01/28/2013 12:47:51 PM PST by EXCH54FE
An agreement over sweeping overhaul of immigration law reached by a bipartisan group of leading senators has quickly drawn its critics.
The outline of the plan covers border security, guest workers and employer verification, as well as a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants already in this country.
The deal, expected to be announced later this afternoon, has a long wayto go before the thorny details are worked out. But the development heralds the start of what could be the most significant effort in years toward overhauling the nation's inefficient patchwork of immigration laws.
It is already drawing critics who say it will add an incalculable financial toll on America
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
If your business model requires the use of underpaid workers, making your current workers citizens, paying necessary higher wages to new Americans will not benefit your business. You will still need your slave laborers.
The Republican Party is dead to me.
Does anyone have a list of the votes?
Same here. The Republicans better hope that their fond dreams of that mythical "conservative hispanic voting bloc" come true (which they won't), because they have lost my vote forever, and I won't hold my nose "for the sake of the nation" ever again, because I finally recognise that this nation is done, stick a fork in it, anyway.
***It is already drawing critics who say it will add an incalculable financial toll on America***
How can this be a financial toll on America? After all, that great Republican John McCain told us a million times they do the jobs Americans don't want to do - it'll boost the economy!
And that other great Republican George W Bush told us over and over that family values don't stop at the Rio Grande. Yep, good ole Dubya saw fit to relax border controls instead of tighten them, even in the face of 9/11.
Can't wait to see what Rubio's BS spin on this is...
Black republicans don't draw the black vote and hispanic republicans won't fair any better.
I saw this coming ten years ago under Bush's administration. Does anyone recall the interview with GW when the interviewer told GW that 85% of Americans were against illegal immigration. His reponse was, "well I think they're wrong". That is why I turned to the Constitution Party. No need for voter fraud now. I feel sorry for the future of my children.
Ted Kennedy: 1986 Amnesty
In 1986 Senator Kennedy said, This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this. If Senator Kennedy lied to us then, how can we trust him now? . Attrition through enforcement is the only fair and feasible way to deal with the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens currently in the United States. This proposal guarantees only that the problem of illegal immigration will only grow exponentially as it did after the 1986 amnesty.
How many pages is it?
Do we have to pass it to find out what's in it?
hhmm, seems I've hear that term before.
Oh, yeah, that pesky holocaust.
"because they have lost my vote forever, "
yes, me too. They are insane if they think they will ever win again without The Tea Party and/or Libertarians or just plan conservatives who never identified with a particular party.
I do........but they're in Spanish.
Exactly, and Republican politicians, who are generally savvy when it comes to their careers if nothing else, must know this. Which makes me wonder what's in it for them.
I would re-title this: Amnesty means permanent one party democrat rule.
Nothing is new in history.
Look up the "Edict of Caracalla," where in 212 a Roman emperor granted citizenship to all the illegals in his empire, mainly to tax them.
Check it out. Perspective is the gift of a history education.
"Same here. The Republicans better hope that their fond dreams of that mythical conservative hispanic voting bloc come true (which they wont), because they have lost my vote forever, and I wont hold my nose for the sake of the nation ever again, because I finally recognise that this nation is done, stick a fork in it, anyway."
I'm thinking the same. All those times of getting to the polls, even in the primaries, because "my vote could make a difference"... ... makes one feel like a schmuck, eh?
To paraphrase Hillary: "what difference does it make?"
Since the election, there have been the whispers in the wind that the Republican party was finished — while others claimed that no "third party" could ever supersede it.
Think back twenty-plus years ago to when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. I recall talking heads of that time saying, that even though the wall was gone, it would be years and years before the "two Germanys" would re-unite. Well, only a year or so later, it was "one Germany" again. Certain "historical waves", once they get rolling, grow beyond control, assume a life of their own.
Told you that to tell you this:
In the few short months since the election, the Republican party is collapsing on itself at a rate faster than the Berlin Wall was torn down. If it continues to self-destruct, something will have to rise up to replace it. This could happen more quickly than anyone could have foreseen or predicted.
I'm wondering if there will still -be- a "Republican Party" by 2022?
Now I know how a roman citizen felt during the decline....
Nope. We're back to the early 20th. century where immigrants powering urban machine politics kept the Dimocrats on top until Reagan.
Totally skewed poll. It is impossible to say you are against illegal immigration. Period. 66% is a lie.
I am more focussed on some more far important events in the story of man on this earth soon coming to pass, very soon-events which I and other believers will be allowed to watch from the vantage point of the Marriage Feast of Our Lord and His Bride. I don't know how to thank God enough for the Blessed Hope, except to try to bring more into the fold to escape the coming destruction, and persecution, and wrath like nothing we could imagine from the Evil One because he too will know that his time is short.
Yes, but the problem is that there is no guaranty that whatever rises up to take its place will be conservative, Constitutional, or traditionally American as far as what we understand American values to be. We've already tipped over into more takers than makers, and they have their own grievances, and they outnumber us. Not to mention that left has a voting fraud machine in place that we could never match if we wanted to. They've infiltrated, undermined, and taken over every American institution, including the media and academia for decades now, and more recently the "mainstream" Christian church and the military.
It's all over. Our last organistion to work through politically-the Republican party-has shown they have their own agenda to serve their own interests.
Two things will be my priority now-to not allow myself and family to be disarmed, and to study prophecy alongside current events. That will tell me what I need to know, and how best to be ready for it.
I'm with you but not sure we as believers escape the "destruction, and persecution, and wrath". Not here on earth, anyway.

Posted on 11/25/2012 4:12:14 PM PST by ReformationFan
After the election, a lot of people are excited that they can now get healthcare. Or maybe not quite yet, but by 2014, when ObamaCare is fully implemented.
The only problem is that healthcare is not like an Obama phone. The phones are all made by a standard process in a factory, probably in China, and they usually work.
You can use them to call a healthcare provider. But you usually get the if this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911, followed by the phone menu.
How will this change with ObamaCare? Doesnt that give you a right to care?
Whenever someone tells me about the right to healthcare, I ask, From whom? From me? This question exposes this right for the robbery and slavery that it is. Take it to the next step. Do you really want to exercise your right to healthcare on a physician who doesnt want any part of this bargain? What kind of care do you think youll receive?
(Excerpt) Read more at medcitynews.com ...
At that point surgeons will began injuring their hands in cooking fires or other home accidents. Other medical practitioners will fall from ladders and receive debilitating head injuries.
Heavily subsidized sure... with a debt that can't even be bankrupted away. What gave that nut any better right than the doc. And as for everyone being satisfied making less money, bet if that nut is in a union the nut isn't going along with that.
how about going there and telling them they are complete dicks then.
Please do it quickly and hide your tracks. I fear they may soon come after you for abjuring your so-called "obligation to the public welfare."
woo=>soon ?
Anyhow, there may be more business for concierge docs who, so far, are still outside the Bummercare system. Have you thought of that?
This concerns me the most, as I will be a sexagenarian in a few months. By the time I have a major health crisis, the bureaucrats will be ready to yank the plug.
Woo = soon. Was posting from my iPhone and must have run into auto correct. I am a hospitalist not primary care, so concierge is not an option. However I look for the govt to outlaw concierge practices soon anyway.
Let them come. I am not going to hide in what is still (for now) a free country. When it is required I will proudly stand for freedom and for Christ no matter what the consequences.
Ah, the market will look for a way. Maybe hospitals and clinics in Canada and Mexico, geared strictly to foreigners: Visa, Amex, Master Card, or cash.
Panama and costa rica are high on the list of countries with a large expat American population in need of US trained docs
If concierges could move to Mexico or Canada, then Barack can ban them to his heart's delight and he can't touch them there. I'd like to THINK that Congress' nod would still be required for any ban, but in this new freak country who knows.
You might be on to something, but I think the iron fist in the velvet glove approach will continue. The Regime will redefine caregiver categories so that more and more care will be by nurses, physician's assistants, and other medical worker categories along with administrative provisions that will punish MDs who try to leave the practice such as special attention by the IRS, licensing bodies and a court enforced discovered right of patiants to care by their former doctors.
My husband had HIFU surgery in Mexico 2 years ago performed by an American doctor....concierge medicine is already happening...especially when the FDA does not allow a procedure that is successful and that other countries already DO allow.
THAT is already embedded in the Oregon Health EXCHANGE...the levels of "caregiver" categories that a person will have to go thru before seeing a real doctor will increase...

The Message We Send
Opportunity – that was the reoccurring theme of last Friday's, We Live NY Summit. There seems to be the perception that no one wants to live in New York, that everyone is leaving the state. Amongst the energy of more than 400 emerging professionals, that notion was nowhere to be found. A diverse population from across the state gathered with one commonality: to seek opportunity.
The most impactful session I attended featured progressive high school students and recent college graduates. Their message – make us feel like you want us to stay. I was perplexed by this. What made them think we did not want them? They went on to elaborate that with all this talk of "brain drain" and no opportunities, students often times go off to college with the belief that there is no reason to return.
As they say, "perception is reality." Not only do we need to communicate the message that there are opportunities to young professionals, but we must expand our efforts to students and their influencers as well. The message that there are opportunities must be heard loud and clear amongst all generations in our community if we truly wish to retain young talent.
Another session of interest was the Entrepreneur Panel. Five individuals, presumably under the age of 30, sat on stage and spoke for two hours about why and how their career journey led them down the road becoming more frequently traveled - running your own business.
"I am young, now is the time to take a risk," said Tory Gentes of Squeeze My Tees. Another panelist may have put it best in saying, "I just didn't want to work for anyone else."
At the end of the day, people decide where they are going to live based on the jobs they have. Despite common belief, companies are beginning and businesses are hiring. The question is – why aren't we talking about it?

Dorm Decor 2012
Living in a college dorm can be a challenge for an interior design student: you can't change the colors of the room, you can't nail into the walls to hang things, and you can't pick the furniture. You have to get creative with how to make a dull white-walled and ugly-tile floored room a beautiful and inviting living space. I chose to use pops of color from throw pillows and lightweight wall hangings that could be hung with command hooks. I made some risky decisions as far as color combinations go, but I think I pulled it off well. College is all about experimenting and diversity in life; I embraced this idea when I chose decor that stretched across several themes and styles.

Americans of all ages, backgrounds, and interests come to Zimbabwe. They come to see the rhinos, elephants, and Victoria Falls; they come as part of church mission groups to build health clinics and schools; and they come to share their expertise and learn from Zimbabweans at all levels. Many American visitors end up doing a lot more than what they planned, motivated by the strong American sense of taking action when faced with a needy situation, as well as a personal desire to change situations for the better. At the U.S. Embassy in Harare, we often hear about these proactive, engaged Americans and are proud that they accomplish so much on their own. When possible, we support them with advice, publicity, and small grants.
"I wanted to make a happy memory," explains Dennis Gaboury, the founder of the Zimkids Orphan Trust in Bulawayo. Gaboury is an American sculptor who accompanied his wife in 2005 to Bulawayo for her one-year Fulbright fellowship. While she taught journalism at the local university, Dennis explored local neighborhoods, encountering what he describes as "a lot of death and sick kids" from HIV and other poverty-related problems. Life expectancy in Zimbabwe that year was 34 years of age, and much of the country's population needed food aid.
Starting with a toy-making competition for kids city-wide, Dennis soon realized that one-time events and one-time assistance of food baskets and other help were not making a real impact. Getting to know some of the kids -- mostly orphans -- in the poorest neighborhoods showed him that they needed job skills and empowerment. This would take more time and more commitment but would actually change lives. "The program is about allowing them (the participants) to live within their culture but do a little better in that framework," he explains.
Zimkids is now a registered trust in Zimbabwe. It has a center in the Pumula North township of Bulawayo, where children gather daily for after school tutoring, art courses, and lessons in welding, bricklaying, and carpentry. The center was built by the kids themselves under the tutelage of local craftspeople and Dennis himself. In particular, the girls welding program has broken new ground and produced a group of top quality teenage girl welders qualified to work on any real estate development project.
Dennis is quick to point out that Zimkids is not "his" organization. It reached the successful level that it is at today thanks to his Zimbabwean partners, especially 23-year-old Tinashe Basa, the full time Director of Zimkids, and to support from people all around the world but particularly in the United States. Schools in New York, Massachusetts, and Florida now participate in Skype discussions with the young people at Zimkids. And Zimbabwean students applying to U.S. universities through the U.S. Student Achievers Program (USAP) run by the U.S. Embassy go to the center on a weekly basis to tutor the children there as part of the USAPCares public service program. In 2011, Zimkids received a grant from the U.S. Ambassador's Self Help program to dig a water borehole, start a market garden, and install a drip irrigation system and greenhouse.
Volunteerism is not widespread in Zimbabwe; most people struggle daily to make ends meet and are reluctant to give their time for free. Through hard work, determination, and obvious commitment, Zimkids has planted the American idea of volunteerism in one corner of Zimbabwe. Dennis's wife, Elinor Burkett, notes that, "Ours is a culture of volunteerism, whether in humanitarian regard or in terms of local needs in the arts, education, health, etc. Responding to concrete needs, then, is part of the way we think."Editor's Note: This year, MLK Day commemorations will coincide with the U.S. Presidential Inauguration, so President Obama is asking all American citizens to join him in participating in a National Day of Service on Saturday, January 19. If you are living in the United States, you can visit www.serve.gov to learn about volunteer opportunities in your community.

Julie T. in Michigan writes:
Zimkids Orphan Trust is an amazing organization that has gone from operating out of a classroom, to building its own center, complete with computer lab, kitchen, clinic, library, market garden, etc. all by and for the orphans. It's exciting to see it being recognized and visited by Ambassador Wharton. Keep up the good work, Zimkids!
Elvis K. in the U.S.A. writes:
I must say how grateful I am to note of great effort that you are putting day by day to help Zimbabwe in different aspects of development. From my view, the Embassy is doing great and I would advise on never to turn back. I know there are a lot of obstacles here and there but at the same time, each country has its own lost children that still need to be found and get adopted into proper guideline. The likes of Matabeleland Governor who refuses to see the envoy as he tries to champion himself through negativity while the nation's president works harder to build up relationship with your envoy.
The lady who stripped necked protesting on sanctions that she has no clue what those sanctions are, and the group of a party that disturbed your visit and resulted in your trip to get cut short. All these I believe are the few that have no understanding of your mission on your visits. I highly commend of great job that you are doing for the people of Zimbabwe. I know even though they have this cancer of negativity while you are helping them in development, they do not even know which country is providing them with the money that they are using.

Mountain Majesty: Panoramic Views & Waterfalls
by Casey | Posted on September 5th, 2012
Sometimes the journey is better than the destination, but in this case, the destination is totally worth the effort of the journey.
This past spring we asked our Facebook and Twitter followers for their favorite hikes. Last fall we told you where to hike in for beautiful waterfalls amid the foliage. This fall, we marry the two lists and show you where to go for great hikes with views AND waterfalls.
Crabtree Falls is actually a1,200′ cascade – the highest vertical-drop cascade east of the Mississippi River. The lower falls is accessible to elderly and differently abled sightseers, making it an enjoyable outdoor experience for all. Over the course of the three-mile trail past the lower falls is a series of five major cascades and smaller ones. Access the trail from a fee-based lot at 11581 Crabtree Falls Highway, Montebello, VA 24464. And the view? Get a good glimpse from the top of the trail, or you can enjoy it from Crabtree Falls Highway up to/down from theBlue Ridge Parkway.
Whiteoak Canyon is a favorite hike out of Shenandoah National Parkbecause the trek rewards the adventurous with six waterfalls ranging from 35 to 86 feet in height. Two access points:
Skyline Drive at milepost 42.6: The upper falls are a 4.6-mile out-and-back hike. If you head down the steep grade to the lower falls, add another 2.7 miles to your round trip.
Route 600 offers an access point at Boundary Trailhead. One mile in is the lower falls or hike the steep grade to the upper falls. Download the Trail Map
The views from Skyline Drive are some of the best – if not the best – in Virginia. 75 overlooks dot the 105-mile scenic route and you'll definitely want to stop at more of them than not to snap a memory.
In Douthat State Park is Blue Suck Falls Trail, a three-mile moderate to difficult hike that includes a nice waterfall. One hiker proclaims, "Your long climb up the Blue Suck Falls is rewarded by one glorious vista after another," so don't just take it from us. Download the Trail Map
At milepost 50.7 on Skyline Drive is a trail leading to Dark Hollow Falls – a cascade of 70′ over greenstone. The hike out-and-back is a 1.5-mile easy trek. And again, the views from Skyline speak for themselves. Download the Trail Map
Fifteen miles of trails offer different vantage points of the renowned "great falls" of Great Falls National Park. The falls are created by jagged rocks in the Potomac River at the narrow Mather Gorge. Take your bike, if you'd rather, and bring $3 to get into the park.
Find more great fall drives and outdoor fun at Virginia.org/Fall.

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, a fire which totally destroyed the office building of the Warren Ross Lumber Company about a quarter of a mile east of the village of Falconer, was discovered at 11:30 in the morning. The office force, with the exception of a stenographer, Miss Mable Spencer, was away at the time. Miss Spencer was working in the main office when she noticed that the room was filling with smoke. Going to the door to the other office room, she discovered that the room was in flames and quickly notified the men employed in the yards. A number of yard men hurried to the office and assisted Miss Spencer who was busily engaged in getting the files and records out of the burning building. Although firemen worked hard, the flames worked faster and the building was a total wreck in a short time. Fire was caused by an overheated steam pipe.
One of the largest wildcats that had ever been seen in this section was brought to Warren by Bert Dennison, a hunter and trapper, who resided at Kinzua. Dennison was trapping for small game and found the wildcat in one of his traps struggling for freedom. Taking aim, Dennison fired at the beast but missed and it tore free from the trap and sprang at him. Grasping his gun as a club, Dennison dealt the beast a blow that drove it back. Again, the animal came at him and fortunately, he knocked it down and killed it with his knife. It weighed 36 pounds and was a handsome specimen.

In 1938, the groundhog was likely to get a glimpse of his shadow almost anywhere in Upstate New York the following day, government meteorologist predicted – not that they took the legend seriously. If the groundhog, traditionally emerging on Feb. 2 from his hibernation, saw his shadow, that was supposed to portend six more weeks of winter. Otherwise, according to the legend, spring could come tripping in whenever she pleased. "The groundhog has nothing to do with the seasons," said meteorologists at Albany and Buffalo as they forecast fair weather and slightly rising temperatures for Feb. 2.
Cattaraugus County authorities had meager clues to the identities of two masked and armed men who attempted to hold up Mrs. Frank James and her sister, Mrs. Mable Myers of Conneaut, Ohio, after they had broken into the James home at Franklinville. Screams of the two women, accosted when they entered the house on coming home from downtown on Saturday night, brought Mr. James, who was putting the car in the garage, into the house on the run. The two men, both believed by the women to have been young men, escaped out a rear door.
50 Years Ago
In 1963, Chautauqua County's first highway fatality of 1963 was recorded the previous afternoon when Mrs. Audrey Neebe Janisch, 27, of Sherman, was killed in a two-car crash at Nettle Hill School, three miles north of Sherman. Mrs. Janisch, a bride of four months, was a passenger in a car driven by her husband, the Rev. James Janisch, 39, trustee of Shiloh. Mr. Janisch and the driver of the other car, Ray John Saari, 32, of Batavia, were injured. Saari, a baby chick salesman, was not held. Mrs. Janisch was a former Lakewood Elementary School teacher. Both she and her husband were thrown from their Volkswagen car and landed upon the snow-covered highway.
Blackstone Corp. announced plans for construction soon of a new plant in Sheffield, Pa., for the manufacture of a wide range of ultrasonic products. The plant would be built on Center Street. It would be known as Blackstone Ultrasonics, Inc. Cost estimates were being sought and company officials hoped the one-story structure would be ready for occupancy sometime in May.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, local representatives in Washington had their feet firmly planted on opposite sides of the Contra aid issue scheduled to come to a vote in two days time. "I'm in favor of the plan, said U.S. Rep. William F. Clinger Jr., R-Warren. U.S. Rep. Amory Houghton Jr., R-Corning, was maintaining the stance he took in March. He was against the idea of sending military aid to the Contras. "I plan to vote against any military aid," Houghton said. He said that he was doing it "for the sake of the peace plan" which he thought ought to be given a chance to work.
Move over Hollywood and make room for South Dayton, Western New York's own version of the motion picture studios. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" finally premiered Friday in Gowanda, nearly a full year after the location was used for filming. Although locations were set in Gowanda, South Dayton, Cottage, Cherry Creek, Batavia and along Route 219 near Yorkshire, only the village of South Dayton and its square were clearly recognizable in the Paramount Pictures production.

Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is not often that someone can go to downtown Toronto and experience the inside story of agriculture in Canada, but once a year the country comes to the city.
On November 7 the Royal Winter Fair opens in Toronto. A Canadian tradition, the royal is the largest indoor agricultural, horticultural, canine and equestrian event in the world.
Fun for the whole family, the Royal Winter Fair has plenty of shopping, eating and learning opportunities. The royal is a wonderful experience and a chance to teach our kids that food does not just come from the grocery store. It is truly a show like no other, where the country shows the city a thing or two.
There is more information at www.royalfair.org. Everyone should get out and enjoy all that Canadian agriculture has to offer.

Mr. Speaker, today, hundreds of thousands of young people will go door to door asking for candy from behind their disguises.
Here in the House of Commons, many politicians wear a disguise all year round, but we always manage to recognize them because sooner or later, the truth comes to light.
In recent months, a supernatural phenomenon has been occurring regularly in Canada's Parliament. Is there an invisible man lurking about, or the same way there was a phantom of the opera, are we dealing with a phantom of Parliament?
The person behind this eerie dramatic political phenomenon is none other than the former finance minister, who remains invisible in the House of Commons and continuously haunts the current Prime Minister. The phantom of the opera sings, the phantom of Parliament speaks, but his message is inaudible and, when he sings, he sings off key.
Despite his many faces, Quebec will always see him as the person responsible for all the drastic cuts to EI, health and education.
Let us unmask the member for LaSalle—Émard, right now.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the House I would like to commend an outstanding young man who has been making some big news in the National Hockey League. I am talking about Jordin Tootoo, the first NHL player of Inuit descent.
Mr. Tootoo grew up in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. He made his debut in the National Hockey League this past month on the Nashville Predators team.
Hockey fans across Canada and in Nashville are excited about Jordin Tootoo's style and ability. As a junior, he had a record setting season before entering professional hockey. His positive story means that regional and other barriers in our national game are falling. It proves that ability is what counts.
I am sure that all my colleagues in the House will join me in extending our congratulations and best wishes to Jordin Tootoo.

Mr. Speaker, Halloween can be a scary time, especially for the new leader of the Liberal Party. We have discovered the top 10 things that keep the member for LaSalle--Émard awake at night.
Number 10, more spending announcements by the current Prime Minister.
Number 9 , frankly, three more months of anything from the current Prime Minister.
Number 8, just exactly how will he manage a cabinet with 150 members in it?
Number 7, the thought that someone is actually out there keeping track of all of his promises.
Number 6, having to face the music in question period every single day.
Number 5, there is an Auditor General report out there, lurking in the shadows and ready to be tabled on the eve of the election.
Number 4, trying to keep a straight face while talking about democratic reform and the Liberal Party of Canada in the same sentence.
Number 3, the idea that someone will remember his original red book promises.
Number 2, what if there really was an ethics counsellor out there and he had real teeth?
The number 1 reason that the member for LaSalle--Émard cannot sleep this Halloween is that he has to face a united opposition in the next election in the form of the new Conservative Party of Canada.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to recognize the fundraising efforts of UNICEF volunteers and workers this Halloween.
The UNICEF on Halloween story began in 1950 when a small Sunday school class in the United States decided to collect coins on Halloween for children in need instead of asking for candy. They sent their cheques totalling $17 to the United Nations Children's Fund. Since then, UNICEF has expanded and so has its fundraising efforts.
In Canada, Halloween represents one of the mainstays of UNICEF Canada's fundraising programs. Last year alone over $3 million was collected by Canadian children for children in developing countries.
I would ask members to join me in congratulating UNICEF Canada for its outstanding efforts to help children in need on this special day. Happy Halloween.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of Stratford Festival's most loved and longtime members, Mr. Mervyn "Butch" Blake, who passed away recently at the age of 95.
Mr. Blake joined the Stratford Festival in 1957 and remained with the company for 42 consecutive years, during which time he performed in every one of Shakespeare's plays. Butch Blake's talent and commitment to the theatre earned him the respect of his peers, the affection of audiences, and the recognition of his adopted country. He was awarded the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal in 1978 and was invested as a member of the Order of Canada in 1995.
I know that the Stratford Festival is proud to have counted Butch Blake as a beloved member of its immensely talented family. I am equally proud to say that Mr. Blake lived for many years in my hometown of Sebringville, Ontario.
I am sure all members of the House will join me in expressing our condolences to Mr. Blake's family and the theatre community across Canada.
René Lévesque

Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow Quebeckers are honouring the memory of an illustrious citizen who left us on November 1, 1987.
We will remember René Lévesque, the reporter, who saw the horrors of World War II first hand and was one of the first to witness the dreadful sights at the death camps. We will remember the simple and generous man, who tied his own destiny to that of his people.
A staunch defender of power to the people, he left as his legacy a number of progressive laws that are the envy of the world: the political party financing act, the revised elections act, the referendum act, and the access to public documents act are just some of them. A man who always knew how to listen, he was a source of inspiration to us all, and imbued us with an unshakeable confidence in ourselves.
A man of his century, René Lévesque humbly set himself the noble task of building the country of Quebec. That he was a born democrat goes without saying. His life, his commitment and his political action are eloquent testimonials to this. Je me souviens; I will remember him.
Women Politicians
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, women have made substantial gains toward equality in many aspects of Canadian society. Even so, women's representation in political life remains unequal. As I am sure my colleagues from all sides of the House will attest, there remain barriers to women entering public life and also once elected. Why is this so and what can be done?
I am proud today to announce to the House that in celebration of Women's History Month, a colloquium on this very subject will be held today hosted by the Law Commission of Canada and the University of Ottawa. It will feature such distinguished participants as former parliamentarian Marion Dewar and activist Rosemary Speirs from Equal Voice. This discussion is just one more way to engage in a much needed dialogue on the possible changes that can make politics more inclusive and remove barriers for women.
I encourage all members of the House to work together in finding new ideas and solutions.

Peter Stoffer Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to bring the attention of my colleagues in the House of Commons to the upcoming retirement of RCMP assistant commissioner Dwight Bishop.
Mr. Dwight Bishop has served with the RCMP since 1969, serving in the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia. He was a uniformed officer in commercial crime, illegal drugs, and customs and excise. He was the officer in charge in Cape Breton. He was a commanding officer of the RCMP in Nova Scotia. He was also the commander in charge of the Swissair disaster, as well as the commander in charge of the 9/11 aftermath.
The quality of this individual and how he treated his fellow officers was reflected in the fact that through 12 major labour disputes, he was able to coordinate each one to negotiated settlement.
On a personal note, this individual was born in Cambridge, Nova Scotia. He has served for 34 years and will be retiring in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He is a wonderful gentleman and a proud servant to our country. We salute his efforts.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House and all Canadians that October is National Flu Awareness Month.
Every winter, almost one-quarter of Canadians are infected with influenza. Thousands become seriously ill and thousands more die from flu-related complications.
Almost anyone who wants to improve his or her chances of having a flu-free winter can benefit from the annual flu shot. The flu shot cannot give a person the flu and side effects are minor.
Seniors, adults and children with chronic diseases, and their caregivers are most at risk. Without vaccination, they may face the possibility of serious or even fatal consequences should they get the flu. A yearly vaccination is the only preventive measure that has been proven to reduce the mortality rate from influenza.
I encourage all Canadians at risk to protect themselves and others. Flu shots are the best way to do so.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In full: "Profile: Undulating/Hilly" - understatement of the year, perhaps? Another amazing Brutal course - hills, mud, and today's prominent feature... icy cold waist-deep water. I'm hoping to warm up in time for the last Brutal of the year on 29th Dec. Weather couldn't have been better today - just above freezing, blue sky and glorious winter sunshine made some fantastic scenery for a run.Date of review: December 8, 2012
In short: Tough run - but really good fun too!In full: I love the Brutal formula - tough runs without artificial gimmicks, just really hard terrain - hills, sand, water, and mud. This particular event featured LOTS of mud. Great atmosphere, friendly runners, and a real feeling of accomplishment crossing the finish line. Don't forget to bring a towel, dry clothes, and a bin bag to protect your car seat on the way home! Date of review: November 19, 2012

A few weeks after the election of last November, I wrote THIS:
[S]ome political pundits don�t like polling analyst Nate Silver (above). They don�t appreciate how he uses mathematical analysis to read the political tea leaves while they depend on non-scientific analysis based largely on their schmoozing with supposedly knowledgeable sources.
Silver�seems to think most pundits are full of crap. And, of course, he made a lot of them look bad when he correctly predicted the outcome of presidential balloting in�each of�the 50 states while they�promoted the neck-and-neck meme to the very end.

So you have committed yourself to a fitness program to continue your weight loss and have been following it steadily for the past couple of months. You have discovered a passion for running and want to keep your fitness levels up during the cold winter months that are now upon us. It is important to know how cold weather will affect our bodies from an exercise standpoint and also, how to stay safe while exercising outside in the winter. Below are some tips and suggestions that will allow you to stay outside for your morning runs and walks.
Our bodies in the cold
In an ideal exercise environment, our bodies heat up from physical activity and sweat will cool us off. Cold weather is different. We are more susceptible to suffering cold related injuries than we are to the overheating dangers in other climates. Since the air we are inhaling is much colder than the temperature of our bodies, it can also become very hard to breathe. With cold air, our body goes through a process to warm all oxygen to an acceptable temperature before it can be used by our muscles and organs. Also, the body will limit blood flow to the fingers and toes in order to keep the muscles and organs warm. If precautions are not taken, heat is lost very rapidly, especially from the head.
Dress appropriately (30-40% heat loss from head)
Since we are exercising in the cold, we need to dress appropriately. Important areas to cover from the cold are the hands, feet, ears, head and neck. Also protect your eyes and face if it is really cold outside. Wear socks that will keep you warm or even double up on pairs. Any layers of clothing that you wear should not be movement restricting, like a large winter coat or big fluffy pants. Layer up if you need to but make sure that you are wearing exercise friendly clothing. Shop for clothes with listed features listed like "breathable" or "dry-fit". Make sure to dress warm, but remember that your body is still creating heat by exercising. If you overdress, or fail to wear breathable clothing during intense exercise, then you are at risk for overheating, even in the cold.
Warm-up first
Before going outside to run or jog, it is best to warm up inside. This means doing some light calisthenics (jumping jacks, walking/jogging in place or going up and down stairs) for 5-10 minutes to turn on your body's natural heating system. If you are already warmed up when going outside, then it is a much easier transition to exercise in the cold.
Exercising in the snow or on ice
Be very careful in the winter extremes of snowiness and ice. Try to find a trail or a spot that has been plowed and salted. If you choose to walk/jog in snow, then go through special efforts to protect the legs and feet. This may mean wearing special boots to prevent frostbite. Also, look out for black ice as this will easy blend in with the sidewalks and roads and then sneak up on you. The last thing that anyone wants is an injury.
If it is too much, then stay inside
If the snow, ice and cold temperatures become too overwhelming, then stay inside. There are endless pieces of cardio equipment in the gym for days that you can't go outside. You can even get creative and do some things in your house. Maybe try some interval training on the treadmill to keep it interesting.
Final precautions to take
Drink plenty of water. Many people make the mistake of not drinking enough fluids while working out in the winter. Your body needs to stay hydrated just like any other scenario. Also, you may need to use lip balm and/or lotions on any skin exposed to the wind in order to prevent skin irritations from the cold and dry air. It is possible to continue an exercise routine outdoors in the winter as long as the proper precautions are taken.

Physical Description
The appearance of the blotched blue - tongued lizard is hinted in its scientific name: Tiliqua nigrolutea. Nigro and lutea mean black and yellow respectively. Indeed, this lizard is usually dark brown or black with yellow, cream or pink blotches on it. Although the blue-tongues are the largest members of the skink family (Scincidae), many of their characteristics differ from that of an average skink. First of all, they have an unusual body shape with a stout torso, short limbs and a thick, short tail. Furthermore, unlike smaller skinks, blue-tongues rarely lose their tails.
There are also differences between the males and females of the species. The males have proportionally bigger head and a more heavyset body. This is due to the shape of the two hemipenes (the male copulatory organs). Females are longer in length ((27-30cm to the males' 25-27cm). Because of this, the females are greater in mass weighing between 350 - 450g while males stay within the 300-350g range. (Cogger 2000, Jones and Edwards 1998).
