Hélène Scherrer Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, one year ago today, Marc Lanthier of south shore Montreal lost his long fight against cancer.
On behalf of his family, I would like to remind my colleagues and all Canadians that the month of April is when the Canadian Cancer Society's campaign for funds takes place.
During that period volunteers will be knocking at your doors collecting contributions for the fight against cancer. I encourage you all to be generous with your donations. Help us to win the battle against this killer disease, which last year alone took more than 65,000 members of our big Canadian family.
I would also invite all colleagues to place a donation in the boxes in the two lobbies. All the funds collected will be added up and sent directly to the Cancer Society at the end of the month.
I thank members in advance for their generosity.

Darrel Stinson Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, better highways rank fourth in my riding's federal concerns, right after the big three of health care, lower taxes and paying down the debt.
I recently drove the Trans-Canada Highway from my British Columbia home to Ottawa. I have seen better back roads in our major trading partner, the United States.
In the 1800s Ottawa had a vision to link our huge country by building a railroad. Today the government supports the information highway but virtually ignores highway infrastructure.
Essential goods and services do not move on the Internet. Students may visit virtual museums via the Internet but it is impossible for the tourism industry to provide hotel rooms or meals to electronic tourists. Accidents on unforgiving roads impose needless suffering and overload our health care system.
Why not connect Canadians with modern highways following the same federal-provincial model used for health care and education? During the present review of the Canada Transportation Act, I call on the government to fix our highways now.
Canadian Cancer Society
Statements By Members

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, April is Cancer Awareness Month in Canada. Thousands of ordinary Canadians, volunteers for the Canadian Cancer Society, will be knocking on doors and holding special events to raise money for cancer research, public education activities and support services for people with cancer.
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization whose mission is to eradicate cancer and improve the quality of life of people experiencing cancer and their families. It is the largest funder of cancer research in Canada. Last year it contributed over $42 million to its research partners, the National Cancer Institute of Canada.
It is a cause worthy of everyone's support and we encourage all to be involved in the fundraising campaign.
American Bar Association
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
John Bryden Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot, ON
Mr. Speaker, an editorial in yesterday's National Post applauds President Bush for ending the American Bar Association's role in vetting judicial appointments.
The National Post says that this is a good thing because the American Bar Association has become overly political. America's top lawyers, according to the National Post , have committed the deadly sins of endorsing employment initiatives for minorities, of endorsing a woman's right to choose an abortion, terrible, according to the National Post , of endorsing federal funding for the arts and of backing Clinton's failed attempt to bring in public health care; dreadful ideas, according to the National Post .
And if that is not enough, the American Bar Association is further to be condemned for failing to support minimum mandatory sentences and capital punishment.
Well I guess we know where the National Post sits politically. Firmly and absolutely to the right, the American right. National Post ? Yes.

The hon. member for Scarborough—Agincourt.
Ara Sarafian
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jim Karygiannis Scarborough—Agincourt, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wish to call attention to Mr. Ara Sarafian, an established author and historian, specializing in the late Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey.
His multiple contacts in both Europe and the Middle East help the Princeton based journal Armenian Forum bridge the gap between the Armenian scholars on both sides of the Atlantic.
He is here in Ottawa today to promote the launching of his latest book entitled Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, 1915-1916 . It is also known as the blue book which compiles dozens of verified eyewitness accounts from different parts of the Ottoman Empire and sheds light on the Armenian genocide.
Mr. Sarafian is one of the founding directors of the Gomidas Institute and has edited several of the institutes publications.
On behalf of the House of Commons, all Canadians and myself, I wish to congratulate Mr. Ara Sarafian on his success.

Howard Hilstrom Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, last Tuesday all members from the Liberal Party turned their backs on Canadian farm families when they voted against increased emergency help.
In spite of the fact that the cabinet intends to ignore the farm income crisis, the disaster continues. Just yesterday there was a tragic story from Manitoba. The Farm Credit Corporation held a forced sale of a family farm. More than 1,000 acres of land, several farm buildings and a residence were put up for auction. Not one single bid was made for this farm. There is simply not enough money in farming.
This farmer was driven to bankruptcy by a government that ignored the natural disaster caused by excessive flooding in 1999 and turned a blind eye to disastrously low commodity prices. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Because of the Liberal indifference, we see many forced auctions this year and see that many farmers will lose their life's work.
The Liberal government has left many Canadian farmers with no hope this spring.
Canadian Ski Championships
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Claude Duplain Portneuf, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to congratulate the participants in this week's Canadian ski championships.
Yesterday, Jean-Philippe Roy won the giant slalom event of the Canadian Championships at Mont Orford.
Last weekend, at Mont Sainte-Anne, Mélanie Turgeon won her eighth downhill national title, while Anne-Marie Lefrançois came first in Super G. Winner of both the men's downhill and the men's Super G was British Columbia's Kevin Wert.
This successful season puts the Canadian team in a good position to excel in the 2002 Winter Olympics. We are sure that these young athletes will continue to be a source of pride to Canada.
Social Housing
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, social housing is, first and foremost, housing belonging to the community as a whole and intended primarily to provide decent affordable accommodation. But Statistics Canada informs us that just over two of every five tenant households are spending more than 30% of their income on accommodation.
It has now been six years since the federal government invested in any new social housing. Groups throughout Canada are asking the federal government to double funding for housing assistance, not for so-called affordable housing, which will serve private interests, but for housing which will rent at below-market rates, and which will provide a better quality of life and access to various services and mutual assistance.
The Bloc Quebecois joins with these groups from Quebec and urges the federal government to reinvest in social housing. It is a question of justice.
Outaouais Tourist Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Marcel Proulx Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Saturday evening, representatives of the Outaouais tourist industry gathered at the Canadian Museum of Civilization for the Ouataouais' 16th Grands Prix du tourisme awards.
Congratulations to Robert Bourassa, the owner and chef of Café Henry Burger in Hull, who won Canada Economic Development's international marketing award. Presented to the SMB that made the biggest impact on the international market, the award is part of a series of promotional and communications activities initiated by the Outaouais Tourism Association, in which it has been joined by Canada Economic Development.
My warmest congratulations to all the winners in this great celebration of achievement in the Outaouais, and good luck at the Grands Prix du tourisme québécois awards.
Long live Mr. Bourassa and his team at the Café Henry Burger, and long live the Outaouais Tourism Association, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Jim Pankiw Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, earlier this year I received letters from grade 6 students in the classroom of Miss Bender at St. Volodymyr school in Saskatoon.
Interestingly, a significant number of them asked that parliament lower the price of gasoline by reducing the taxes on gas. Some students cited environmental concerns. Others asked that we do something to help farmers who these children see protesting in the news.
Even though they are just children, they understand that their parents would have more money to spend on their own families if the government would lower taxes.
I suggest to each and every member of parliament in the House of Commons that it is not just the children at St. Volodymyr school who are concerned about such issues, but indeed children across our entire country.
The past practice of exploiting society's wealth and leaving the next generation to pay is unfair. The result is a $565 billion national debt. This represents a mortgage on future generations of Canadians. Therefore, we have a duty to our children to pay the debt off. Doing so would make our country a stronger place in which to live and prosper.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to inform the House that Patricia Angnakak has been appointed the first Deputy Commissioner of Nunavut.
During the years I have known Pat Angnakak, I have been impressed by her commitment to the development of Nunavut. To be appointed the very first deputy commissioner of the newest territory of Canada is a great honour and privilege.
Deputy Commissioner Angnakak will represent Nunavut at events Commissioner Irniq is unable to participate in. I know she will perform her duties with a great sense of history and pride for Nunavut.
I would ask my colleagues in the House to join with me in extending congratulations to Deputy Commissioner Angnakak and in wishing her every success.
Freshwater Exports
Statements By Members
March 28th, 2001 / 2:10 p.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—St. Clair, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians have always been able to depend on our plentiful supply of freshwater but now this precious resource is being threatened by the inaction of the government.
In British Columbia, there is an outstanding chapter 11 action under NAFTA. There are ongoing attempts in the Great Lakes to export bulk water.
Yesterday, Roger Grimes, the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, announced that his government will reopen the issue of the bulk export of water, a move that under NAFTA would eliminate the ability of other provinces to ban the exportation of bulk water.
In fact, the government has brought forward legislation, Bill C-6, which would facilitate the export of our most precious water supply.
It is time the government showed some leadership and accepted its responsibility to protect our supply of freshwater. It is time we have federal legislation that would ban absolutely the bulk export of our freshwater.
Organized Crime
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michel Bellehumeur Berthier—Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, this morning, 1,700 officers representing some fifty police forces in Quebec carried out a vast operation across 77 municipalities in order to strike a blow at criminal motorcycle gangs. No fewer than 150 warrants for arrest were issued on various charges from conspiracy to commit murder to gangsterism.
On behalf of the members of the Bloc Quebecois, I want to congratulate all the police forces on their professionalism, courage and determination. This operation shows just how serious Quebec police forces are in putting an end to the criminal activities of these gangs, which threaten public security not only in Quebec but across Canada.
With this fine demonstration by the police forces, I hope the Minister of Justice of Canada will understand and give the police and crown prosecutors real anti-gang legislation, as the Bloc Quebecois has been requesting for a long time.

Modify tools to fit your hand
If you have small hands, certain tools may not fit your grip as well as you�d like. Club member Terry Ward of Graham, North Carolina, solved this problem with his pop rivet gun by carving a small block of wood and screwing it to the gun�s handle. This additional gripping point allows him to hold the rivet gun steady and achieve greater leverage. Brought to you by: American Profile

Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a group of 9 People and we couldn't have asked for anything more! The apartment was clean and modern, the bedrooms were huge upstairs with walk in Wardrobes and the master bedroom had an ensuite. Each room had their own LCD TV mounted on the wall with cable channels.
It was still a little cold in April but the apartment was always warm and toasty. There was spare bedding and pillows for everyone if we needed. The appliances in the whole apartment were all top notch. We all washed and dried clothes & towels daily.
The location was walking distance from Times Square and the Rockefeller centre and very close to 5th Ave where all the shopping action is at.
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this apartment to larger groups travelling to NYC.

We just have spent 5 days in New York in this apartment we had booked on the internet. While it is very well placed, and I would recommend volontié, if you spent a few days in this fantastic city,,,,,, any time, despite the great location, it is imperative that the owner of the premises still see a copy ,,,,,,,,, it is important to know ifyou rent it, as we hear from the outside and ventilation, especially aunniveau a bedroom, missing, cloths, égoutoir for dishes, the electricity is a again, no bedside lamp that works??? no window in the main room, the shower curtain not great at all, lack a shower mat, and also lack of blackout curtains at the windows,, , if the maid dana is very nice, the home very nice,, the pictures do not represent what we see on arrival, else the room doors close properly, and the front door, despite all these inconveniences we spent a great stay, and if were to go, and although I leases it back, because the location is top,,,,, not far from time square, 34 avenue, etc., in short, a great location, ,,,,,, we keep great memories,,,,,,,,
Nous venons d avoir passé 5 jours à new york dans cet appartement que nous avions réservé sur internet. Certes, il est très bien placé,et, je le conseillerais volontié, si vous devez passé quelques jours dans cette ville fantastique,,,,,,toute fois, malgré le super emplacement, il est imperatif que le proprietaire des lieux revois sa copie,,,,,,,,,il est important de savoir sivous le louer, que l on entends de l extérieur une ventilation et, surtout aunniveau d une chambre, il manque, des torchons, égoutoir pour la vaisselle, l electricite est a revoir , pas de lampe de chevet qui marche ??????pas de fenetre dans la piece principale, le rideau de douche pas top du tout, manque un tapis de douche , et aussi des rideaux opaques manquent aux fenetres,,,,,,sinon la femme de ménage dana est très sympa, l acceuil tres sympa,,,,les photos ne représentent pas ce que l on vois en arrivant , autre chose les portes des chambres ferment mal,ainsi que la porte d entrée, malgré tous ces desagrements nous avons passés un excellent séjours,et, si devais revenir , et, bien je le reloue, car l emplacement est top,,,,,pas loin de time square, 34 avenue, etc, bref super bien placé,,,,,,,,nous gardons un super souvenirs,,,,,,,,
Let me begin to say that the apartment is located in a lovely area in the upper west side of Manhattan. A very quiet area but still very close to Broadway and the metro stations (2 min walk) which takes you down to Times Square in ~10 minutes.
The kitchen was SEVERELY understocked. There were hardly no glasses or cups, only 3 wine glasses and the kitchen knives were so terrible it was not even possible to slice an onion or tomato. In the end, the kitchen was superfluous because of the lack of tools to cook. The coffee maker was a $10 Black & Decker, which was totally useless. These things were a big let down for me, as I was looking forward to cook in an otherwise great kitchen.
Apart from this, the apartment was very spacious with a lovely wooden floor and nice large bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms were a bit small, and the third was very large. The overall finish was good but the cleaning was a little bit sloppy, especially around details (e.g. taps, mirrors) in the bathroom.
When you pay that much, you expect to at least be able to dine in the apartment.
Great location.
Only chairs and table for four persons to eat - not eight.
Cutlery for five to six people.
Don't count on the washingmachine and dryer.
Heating/aircon of very doubtful quality.
The apartment 'excellent level both in terms of aesthetics and function.
L'appartamento e' di ottimo livello sia dal punto di vista estetico che funzionale.
We stayed in this spacious 3 bedroom apartment which was so convenient. The new kitchen is fabulous but does not take up much space in the big living room which includes 2 large sofas, dinning table for 6 and kitchen. The 3 bedrooms are more than adequate, in particular, the master bedroom which has an en-suite with separate bath and shower. The location is superb, close to Central Park at one end and Zabar's Deli at the other. Highly recommend this place for 7 people. 9 would be a tight squeeze.
In the end we changed a room in upper Right side, 344 on the 65st. We loved the area and the apartment, plus NYC! My pleasure cn you celebrate my birthday!
Al final nos cambiaron una habitación en upper Right side, en la 344 de la 65st. Nos encanto la zona y el apartamento, además de NYC! Ha sido un placer celebrar mi cumpleaños cn vosotros!

Perhaps you remember "The Soul in Depression"? It's a show we produced many years ago that remains one of our most popular and enduring productions. One of the voices featured was Andrew Solomon, who wrote The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, an encyclopedic work that won a National Book Award in 2001.
After nearly ten years of research and interviews, Mr. Solomon has produced another tome worthy of attention — this time exploring the theme of identity and difference as experienced through family. This trailer for his new book Far from the Tree is really well-done. To be able to witness the love between these people and their moving personal stories grounded in the grit of experience makes you forget this is a promotional video for a book, which I'm now reading with zeal. Look for a review in the coming weeks.

#Life#Best Of#Getting to know me#Rants and Raves#This one time? At BlogHer?
Popularity. Fame. Money. Drama.
I think Mom101 said it best, "We don't have to be ashamed about what we do or why we do it. Whether we blog for money or friendship or approval or attention or magical beans. I said it in the first Momosphere panel and I meant it: It's all good."
The hate blogs, the jealousy, the gossip; It's a bi-product of mixing fame, money and popularity in a tiny tiny space called Your Computer. We're exposed. We're sharing. We're being "honest" except we're not.
I can not tell you how much it means to me to know that really great writers with great sites know who I am and are just as amazing in person as in their blogs. But this does not bring me fame. It does not bring me money. It does not bring me popularity.
It brings me community.
You choose to either participate in the community or not. You decide what and how much you give to your peers. You are the one who can either introduce yourself or sit and watch. Either way, it's your choice. And they are both ok.
I'm not overly confident in who I am. I still squee (loudly) when Joelle of Moxie Design Studios says HI or sends a client our direction. I was flattered beyond flattery when Angela gave me a CD and when Amy and Tracey and Dana included me in their link list. Don't get me wrong. I still love that these people I read and admire also read and link back to me.
It's a warm fuzzy that even my nightly
bottle of wine can't re-produce.
But if you feel that I am popular or self-righteous, you've clearly never met me in person. Or read me for that matter. I'm far from being an "A" list blogger. I'm a mom who barely holds her shit together, who tries to write every so often and works even more often. I value friendships, real ones, over my blog and would toss this site in a heartbeat if it got in the way of my real relationships. My real life.
Which is something I'm struggling with.
The best and most wonderful thing I've found through this blog are my close friends Michelle and Laura and the site we launched together. My career took a fantastic turn when I met Karen through this post and then joined Swank Web Style and found Shaz and Emily and we decided to start a new commercial design business Catapult Web Development because Sydney helped inspire this move and Susan Getgood and other clients encouraged it. When I found out my my new great Seattle Playdate Friend also worked in the web programming / tech field I was in heaven and we talked nerdy to each other.
From there, the real world got better and better.
I blog for a variety of reasons but it will be changing soon. There is a New Big Thing in the works and The Real World is involved. It's exciting, what has come of being in this community, and it's inspirational. But it is not exclusive or ellusive or any other "ive". It's what you make of it.
Just like real life.
Amen. I can't WAIT to see what the next big thing is.
I blogged about the fame thing this very morning.
By Suebob on 2008 07 26
So awesome! I'm drafting a similarish post right now, but you've done such a lovely job of it, maybe I don't need to… If anything, I am linking to this post. Because? Brilliant.
By andi on 2008 07 26
I'd totally vote for magical beans.
I met you briefly during a very surreal visit to the Gold Dust Lounge near the hotel and had a perfectly lovely conversation but I was so overwhelmed at the time that I don't really remember what was said. I did, however, find you totally unselfrighteous. That part I remember.
By laurie on 2008 07 26
I'm just glad to have met so many awesome wimmins. And to be able to count them as friends - even more awesome.
By Dana on 2008 07 26
You forgot to mention the value of licking each other's cheeks. The ability, perhaps more so, the willingness to lick each others cheeks is the greatest part of our community, don't you think?
By Mr Lady on 2008 07 26
It's funny how complicated the blog world has become now that there is money (for some) involved. My cousin is Maggie from Mighty Girl and I have been so proud of what she's been able to accomplish.
Me, on the other hand, I'm far from an A list blogger but I've really enjoyed the relationships I've developed over the years. That has been rewarding in itself.
Having said that, I'm actually going to redesign my blog to allow for advertising for the first time. Don't hate me, okay?
(Oh, and just an observation but I find it interesting that the women in the blog world tend to beat each other up. I haven't seen that in the Daddy Blogging community.)
By Matthew on 2008 07 26
I can honestly say you are my mostest favoritest person I've ever met online, and I've met a lot of amazing people (esp women) over the last few years. You are special and sweet and heartfelt beyond words and I'm proud to call you my friend. This post is so bang on, as are many of yours. You're very talented and insightful, both as a designer and a member of this community that all of us have built together. You ought to be very secure in knowing all of that. Much love, sugarpants.

A handful of people called me "popular" after seeing me at BlogHer. Yeah. Right. What they were seeing was "busy." Busy because everyone always wants something and that absolutely does not mean that they like you. They just know that you'll do it for them.
I made $20 from my blog last month. What does that tell you? I make $0 from Blog Nosh Magazine. Neither of them make me popular or famous or anything other than busy.
But wait. That's not true…
They make me happy.
Not because of the money. Not because of the popularity. They make me happy because of the people that take the time to read me and talk to me and talk *with* me.
Screw every single person that doesn't believe me when I say that I do it for the joy it brings. I do it because I'm a joyful girl.
And I also do it so that you'll put me in your "people I read" because I just saw that you finally did! And you know what that will bring me? Nothing. Maybe one out-click? Probably not.
But it makes me happy. Because I like you. And when I met you, I didn't squirrel you away into a corner because I felt like, "Yep, I like her just as much as I thought I would. Check. Now who else do I want to hug here?"
BlogHer was just one big confirmation that I feckin' love you people. Something changed along the way in Internet land and all of these strangers went from being possibly-geeky-RPG chicks to being real friends.
And if they are, in fact, absolutely-geeky-RPG chicks? Then I learned that judging people for having alter-egos that are fairies or vampires is wrong. So wrong.
Mrs. Flinger, I'm afraid I accidentally drank some crazy juice for lunch. Sorry for this long comment. I should feed my comments into my blog as posts and then it would look like I actually blog sometimes.
By Velveteen Mind - Megan on 2008 07 26
I completely agree that blogging is what you make of it. I'm still trying to figure out what I make of it, though. But, like Megan, I was ecstatic to see my mug in your "People I Read" collage because I heart you, Mrs. Flinger.

You answered her question perfectly.

I loved this, Leslie. Further proof that you are awesome. And completely lickable.
By Angella on 2008 07 26
Community; that is the word that gave me chills. I think that it is great you are meeting real world folks to open up doors, especially if it means being able to do something you enjoy.
By Blogversary on 2008 07 26
i don't know what the current drama is (thank god), but i DO know you are supermegaawesome.
people who can think for themselves, stand on their own two feet, and don't succumb to stupidity and drink of the mindless haterade are awesome.
heart you, lady.

PS: i'm totally in this for the poontang.
By sweetney on 2008 07 26
I don't know if people consider me a 'popular blogger' or not, and I don't really care.
What I do care about is just how much the connections and friendships blogging has brought into my life.
And I love that I was banned from the nasty blog because I stood up for my friends.
By Redneck Mommy on 2008 07 26
I'm not a popular blogger (I'm one who still goes squee when she notices that her comment is right below Redneck Mommy's, so what does that tell you?) but I think you hit the nail on the head.
I blog because I've found that I love to write and because it's like free therapy. And because I'd have nowhere else to bitch about my husband. I do hope to become a bigger part of the community, but if I never have a bigger following than I have right now, I will be 100% content with my little part of the internet.
By Katie on 2008 07 26
Amen. To all of it. Especially the cheek licking.
By Jenny, Bloggess on 2008 07 26
um, yeah, i love you.
the end.
By ali on 2008 07 26
you're making me want to lick you right now. seriously.
By Absolutely Bananas on 2008 07 26
My dad has a shirt that says "save the drama for your momma" So I just save it for my Mom to deal with. You should too.
I love you, and not just because I think that we were separated at birth, you are real and true and funny. If no one knows that they are crazy and don't read you.
Now when can I lick you? (with a cocktail of course!)

According to a News.com report quoting a Sun Microsystems' official, the company plans to release a special version of its Solaris that will take advantage of AMD64 architecture found in AMD's Opteron and Athlon 64 chips in 2004. This is the first public announcement of Sun's support AMD 64-bit architecture, even though, a quite obvious one, given that the Santa Clara, California-based server company has always been trying to stop Intel's Itanium processors from becoming popular.
"Sun made the decision because of the speed that software shows on AMD Opteron, Jonathan Schwartz, Sun Software Chief said. "It is highly performant on the systems we have looked at now," he added.
A test version of Solaris for AMD Opteron platforms is scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2004, with the final version later in the year, according to the official from Sun.
The Solaris operating system is a version of Unix used in servers and combines traditional OS functionality, application services and identity management. So far the Solaris has been available only for SPARC and x86 platforms, but not for other 64-bit architectures, such as Intel Itanium-series competing directly with 64-bit solutions developed by Sun.
It is still not clear whether Sun will adopt AMD Opteron processors for its own servers or not, as quite controversy statements came from Sun's executives in the past.
Seeing the growing demand for relatively low-cost servers Sun earlier adopted Intel and AMD x86 processors, but the company still utilizes its own SPARC chips in high-end servers and workstations. We can even outline its general trend – x86 for cost-effective applications and SPARC for lucrative and high-end machines. Sun did not want competing 64-bit architectures to emerge and now does not want them to become popular. However, understanding the possible demand for 64-bit processing, Sun may choose to push AMD rather than Intel, since the former does not directly compete with Sun's own solutions at this point.

Herb-Crusted Pork Loin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or more, to taste
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds pork loin roast
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- For the Herb Crust:
- 1 sweet onion, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 lime, zested
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, and salt, to taste. Rub the mixture all over the outside of the pork. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and brown the pork roast on all sides, just until golden. Remove the pork to a sheet tray, fat side up.
Meanwhile, make the herb crust: In a food processor, combine the onions, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and lime zest. In the same saute pan in which the pork was browned, add the olive oil and the onion mixture and cook until softened. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Spread the mustard on top of the fatty layer of pork and then press the herb crust into it. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest, covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice the roast, arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Brett, Army National Guard
College of Arts & Sciences
I was already attending Regent University when I decided to join the National Guard and Army ROTC. Trying to balance the demands of school, ROTC and National Guard was hard work, but Regent had wonderful staff that accommodated any need a studying soldier might have. I received all the help and resources I needed from the university's military director in a timely, professional manner and promptly started training with ROTC. At first, I thought the work load was too difficult to handle. Yet, isn't that what it feels like when growing? Therefore, I found these challenges to be positive.
While taking classes, I sharpened myself as a future leader and built confidence and a networking base along the way. My tuition, housing and books? No matter. The benefits of being in ROTC and the National Guard paid for it all! The Lord provided through Regent and many other ways, and for that I cannot thank Him enough.
As a future second lieutenant with a B.A. in Cinema-Television under my belt, I am confident about the future. Looking back, I have undoubtedly changed for the better because of my decision to attend Regent University and its ROTC program. I would recommend it to anyone who has decided to attend school while training to become an officer. I have seen other schools and Army ROTC programs, and there is no doubt that Regent's is in the cream of the crop. It provided everything one would need for excellent academics, spiritual growth, social networking, and financial assistance. I cannot imagine graduating from anywhere else but Regent University.

More about the crisis and how you can help:state.gov/haitiquakeAbout the Author: Paul Mayer serves as the Consular Section Chief at the U.S. Consulate General in Montrèal. He served as Acting Consul-General at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince Haiti during the days following the January 2010 earthquake.
The news of the earthquake in Haiti hit me the same way the tsunami in Southeast Asia did: A tragic event that had happened far away. I donated money to the Red Cross, and even used the same credit card I'd used five years before. It hit much closer to home when I learned that an officer with whom I'd served in Montreal had been seriously injured at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. I wanted to give something more than money, so I contacted the Bureau of Consular Affairs to ask how I could help. Less than 24 hours later, I was on a plane from Montrèal to Santo Domingo and just six hours after arriving in the DR, I was strapped into a DHS/CBP Blackhawk helicopter, 600 feet above the ground, flying toward Port-au-Prince.
Unfortunately, whatever preparations I thought I'd made for what I would see when I arrived weren't enough. As we made our descent to land outside the embassy walls, I saw throngs of people crowding the streets adjoining the embassy. What I saw on the ground was worse. There were faces which reflected panic, fatigue, anger, pain, hunger and thirst. There was more desperation than I'd ever seen in my career: hundreds, maybe thousands, of people had come to the U.S. Embassy with their suitcases packed, mostly based on the hope and the belief that the U.S. government was going to feed them, house them, cure them or whisk them away.
The Department of State and its Bureau of Consular Affairs always makes the protection of American citizens its first priority in times of crisis. I was one of several dozen officers and staff who volunteered to help our mission in Haiti. Many of my fellow volunteers were outstanding French or Creole linguists, and many had come from the other side of the world (China, India, Senegal, South Africa!), knowing that they'd be working 16+ hours per day, sleeping on the floor and eating military MRE's.
Organizing the evacuation of American citizens is a multi-step process, involving confirmation of citizenship, eligibility for evacuation, status of family members, etc. In Port-au-Prince, it started every day with a queue of several thousand people standing in front of the U.S. Embassy, waiting and waiting. U.S. Marines and Diplomatic Security personnel were always nearby, and consular staff were constantly watching for people who were elderly, ill or in need of immediate assistance. At the head of that line stood consular officers and local staff, asking questions and making decisions about evacuation eligibility. More than one person said that it felt more than a little like Sophie's Choice. It made me doubt the wisdom of leaving my safe life, my dear wife and daughter. On Day 5 after the earthquake, I gave out cases of food and hundreds of water bottles to people in the line; I never felt as if my actions were enough.
On my second full day in Port-au-Prince, I went to work at the airport, where crowds of people were gathering in the hope that they'd be able to ride one of the gigantic USAF C-17s to safety in America. Even in January, the sun and heat of Haiti are intense, and people were standing in line for hours, waiting again to meet a consular officer who would then determine their eligibility for evacuation. Just like at the embassy, working at that pre-screening position was crucial and crushing work. You needed to make an immediate decision as to whether the person was qualified, explain the decision in French or Creole, and then move politely and efficiently to the next person. Everyone was watching; everyone was listening. TV cameras and reporters eavesdropped, thinking they'd get a scoop. We listened to explanations from people who all fervently believed that they had a valid reason for being evacuated to the United States, though only some of them had U.S. passports or U.S. citizen family members.
To say that it was heart-wrenching to do this work doesn't fully capture the feeling. Many tears were shed and many voices were raised. Time and time again, we would hear people begging us, "Please, what are we supposed to do?" It was so, so hot, and we all perspired copiously, but we knew that the people waiting in the queue were hotter and thirstier than we were. As much as it hurt, we had to say no to the unqualified cases; not doing so would be against the law and would also disadvantage those American citizens whose safety and well-being was our first priority. Under U.S. law, the State Department has very clear guidelines for the aid and assistance we provide American citizens in times of crisis, and our office of Overseas Citizen Services in Washington is there to support and guide us every step of the way. The Foreign Affairs Manual (we call it "the FAM") explains things in precise detail.
The FAM, however, doesn't prepare you for the feeling you get from saying, "No" and "I'm sorry" over and over. The FAM doesn't tell you how many bottles of water you will need to give people who've been standing in line for six hours. The FAM doesn't tell you how quickly you need to take the Power Bars you'd bought at Wal-Mart out of your backpack, just so you can give them to the people who are saying, "Please, j'ai faim." The FAM does not tell you whether you're permitted to shed a tear when you see the look of resignation in a person's eye after you've said, firmly, "I'm sorry, but you do not qualify." People just walked away, with their kids in one hand and their suitcase in the other. There were 500 more in the queue, waiting for their turn to come. This was Day 6 after the earthquake.
Much could be written about the stress and strain of our work days -- 16 hours on, 8 hours off -- or about the questionable glamour of sleeping on the floor of the consular section, or the daily diet of MRE's. The truth is that the several dozen volunteers and I would have endured even more if we thought that it would better help us to carry out our tasks. We fought off the fatigue by contemplating the magnitude of what we were accomplishing: Thousands of Americans already evacuated, and one crazy day in which we moved more than 1,600 people through the Embassy, through the consular section, on Embassy vehicles to the airport, and into the cavernous cargo bays of the C-17 transports. I'd been asked to fill in as Consul General for a colleague who'd needed to depart post temporarily, and I had the privilege of guiding a marvelous team of entry-level and mid-level officers, reminding them about the need to sleep, to eat and drink, to wear sunscreen. On Day 9 after the earthquake, I fell asleep at the computer keyboard while trying to write an email explaining this to my wife and daughter.
I'm composing this blog on Day 18 after the earthquake, on a Boeing 757 evacuation flight sponsored and operated by United Airlines. I'm en route Chicago and, eventually, back to my family in Montrèal. I am almost ashamed to admit that my gas tank is empty, and that I need to go home. When I climbed the staircase to the plane's entry door, I took a picture from the top step. While fatigue and stress have diminished my operational effectiveness, I take some comfort in knowing what we've left behind (to say nothing of the 14,000 + evacuees). The world knows that Haiti needs more help and more aid. My Consular Affairs colleagues know that we need to be vigilant to the needs of American citizens and their families. The Consular Section is in good hands, led by a well-rested Consul General. Now all I can do is look out the plane window and hope that I don't forget what I saw at the evacuation when it's Day 28 or Day 108 after the earthquake.

|*Price varies depending upon departure's group size.
Day 1 (Quito) Set out on a morning tour of Old Town Quito, to marvel at the citys ornate churches and architecture, rich in art treasures, fine woodcarvings, and gold leaf designs. A little north of the city, stop at the Middle of the World Monument to take your picture standing on the equator! Lunch is at a 17th century hacienda, where our hosts show us the chapel, gardens, and commercial rose farm.
Day 2 (Otavalo and Peguche) In store this morning is a visit to textile and vegetable markets, and a stop at the home of weaver José de la Torre, who still uses ancient weaving techniques in his small workshop. Lunch is at a local hacienda. In the afternoon, we enjoy a relaxing and hike to the sacred waterfall of Peguche.
Day 3 (Otavalo and Quito) After an easy-going breakfast at the hacienda, we visit Cuicocha Lake, in the crater of the dormant Cuicocha Volcano. Lunch is at a local hacienda, then we drive back to Quito. This evening before dinner we enjoy a private demonstration of the pottery technique known as mucahua. These mud pieces are decorated by Quichua women using rope and paint brushes made with human hair. The vasijas are fired in an open oven, and when finished, are used to drink the traditional beverage known as chicha.
Day 4 (Napo Wildlife Center) Catch a short morning flight to Coca, and board a covered, motorized boat for a 2.5-hour ride on the Napo River. Then we transfer to a dugout canoe for a quiet ride to the lodge along a narrow creek connecting to beautiful Añangu Lake. Watch for monkeys, toucans, parrots, herons, kingfishers, and even macaws. After dinner theres an optional outing to look for caimans (crocodiles) and learn about the amazing nocturnal sounds.
Day 5 (Napo Wildlife Center, Yasuni National Park) Your experiences and activities at Napo will vary according to the weather and interests of your group. The goal is always to maximize wildlife viewing and wilderness enjoyment, and cultural interaction with local people. The description that follows for Days 5-7 gives you a general sense of whats in store. Wake up early to walk to the best parrot clay licks in Ecuador, about 1 hour away from the lodge. Youll have the opportunity to see up to eleven species of parrots, parakeets, and macaws, depending on the weather. Later, you have the option to hike along a forest trail to the Quichua community of Añangu. Return to the creek and hike through a terra firme (relatively dry) forest to the second parrot clay lick, to enjoy lunch with the birds.
Day 6 (Napo Wildlife Center, Yasuni National Park) After an early breakfast, head for a treetop canopy tower deep in the forest. Ascending the 12-story tower, you pass through different levels of the forest to emerge atop a huge ceiba tree. Wildlife that is virtually impossible to see from the forest floor are right beside you. Watch for flocks of colorful tanagers and blue and yellow macaws, as well as spider monkeys in search of fruit. There is no finer canopy experience in Amazonian Ecuador. After you come back to earth and have some lunch, hike through primary forest where you might see lizards, manakins, or golden mantle tamarin monkeys. Later, explore the lake and creeks by dugout canoe with the possibility of running into a giant otter family.
Day 7 (Napo and Quito for departures home) An early departure ensures one more quiet canoe excursion on the Napo River for a last chance to see giant otters, monkeys, or even rarer birds. Youll board the motorized canoe for the 2.5-hour ride back to Coca to catch the flight to Quito in time for departures home.

NYPA Announces Computers For Two Queens Schools
February 10, 2003
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) announced today it will provide surplus computer equipment to two schools in Queens as part of its program to make refurbished computers available to schools statewide.
"The New York Power Authority is pleased to play a role, under Governor Pataki's leadership, in strengthening public education for New York's children," said Louis P. Ciminelli, chairman, New York Power Authority. "This Power Authority computer donation program helps build on that strength by expanding access to high tech resources so vital to learning in the 21st Century."
The Power Authority is ready to deliver 10 computers to Public School 84 in Community School District 30 in Long Island City and 10 computers to Our World Neighborhood Charter School located in Astoria. The Power Authority utilizes about 1,700 computers in its normal operation and replaces about 400 to 500 computers each year.
The surplus equipment is thoroughly cleaned and provided with a minimum of 64 megabytes of memory. The computers have been tested with a new installation of the operating system, and any missing or broken parts have been replaced.
"There is always a need for more computers in our schools and so with help from Governor Pataki and the New York Power Authority's computer donation program we are able to enhance our students' learning experiences to the fullest," said Senator George Onorato.
"On behalf of the students who will benefit from this donation of computer equipment, I want to thank the New York Power Authority," said Helen Marshall, Queens Borough President. "During this difficult budget season our students need all the help that they can get to bring their classrooms into the 21st Century."
"NYPA's recent donation of late model computers for Queens classrooms at P.S. 84 along with their past activities of installing high efficiency lighting or replacing polluting coal furnaces with clean natural gas systems are examples of their commitment to the community," said Dr. Angelo Gimondo, superintendent, Community School District 30 in Queens. "We commend Governor Pataki and the Power Authority for their continuing support."
"By having greater access to computers, our students will have more opportunities to learn the skills needed to succeed and we are grateful to Governor Pataki and the New York Power Authority for these opportunities." said James Sarconi, principal, Public School 84.
"Governor Pataki championed the law creating charter schools in New York, and we are grateful that he continues to support the initiative through the donation of these computers to Our World Neighborhood Charter School," said James D. Merriman, executive director, Charter Schools Institute, State University of New York.
"Our World Neighborhood Charter School is committed to preparing our students for bright futures, which means they must have computer skills," said Michael Buonasora, chairman, Board of Trustees, Our World Neighborhood Charter School. "We want to thank Governor Pataki and the New York Power Authority for including us in this very worthwhile program and we will put these computers to very good use."

Dachshund History
- Short-legged dogs have been known since ancient times, but the beginnings of the Dachshund aren't clear. The first recorded history of them was in the 1700s, in Germany, where they were used mostly for hunting badgers underground.
- By the early 1800s smooth, wire, and longhaired Dachshunds were recorded.
- In 1839, Prince Albert married Queen Victoria, bringing Dachshunds to England with him.
- In 1870, the first recorded Dachshunds arrived in America.
- In 1885, the AKC registered its first Dachshund, named Dash.
- When World War I broke out, Dachshunds became unpopular in America because of their association with Germany. In 1919, the AKC changed the breed's name to Badger Dog in an attempt to distance it from Germany. They changed it back in 1923.
- Only 23 Dachshunds were registered in 1923. By 1930, they had moved up to become the 28th most popular breed, and by 1940, the 6th most popular. They have remained among the most popular breeds in America since.
- The Dachshund comes in three varieties: smooth, long, and wire coats, of which the smooth is the most popular. The varieties are shown separately but may be interbred.
- The breed also comes in standard and miniature sizes. In most countries they are also shown as separate varieties, but the AKC does not divide them by size.
Dachshund Behavior Concerns
- Makes both a devoted lap dog and saucy playmate.
- Fairly playful with family children, but children must be supervised because they could easily hurt a miniature Dachshund.
- Tends to be a one-person, or at most, one-family dog.
- Reserved, even suspicious, toward strangers.
- Fairly good with other dogs and pets.
- Tends to be independent, curious and bold, so care must be taken to prevent wandering and exploring.
- Likes to hunt and dig.
- Some bark a lot.
- Learns quickly, but tends to have a stubborn streak.
- Does not do well with force-based training methods, but is very good with reward-based training involving food.
Dachshund Suggested Exercises
- Makes a lively and alert housedog.
- Although many of its physical exercise needs can be met with indoor or backyard games, it still needs the mental stimulation of walking and sniffing on walks.
- A walk around the block once or twice daily will meet its outdoor needs, not counting bathroom breaks. Many Dachshunds can be trained to use indoor potty systems.
- Dog parks are not generally a good idea unless only small dogs are allowed together.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
- Smooth Dachshunds hate the cold. Because of their small size and short coat, they lose body heat rapidly.
Dachshund Grooming
- Coat is short, soft, and glossy.
- Brushing once a week will remove dead hair.
- Shedding is below average.
Suggested Dachshund Nutritional Needs
- Dachshunds have a tendency to become obese.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Remember, it does not take much food to feed a small dog, and small snacks can easily add too many calories.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

For several years, you've been able to book charter flights on the Internet and now, as we've reported in Business Jet Traveler, there's a retail store in London–The Jet Business–where you can actually walk in off the street and buy an airplane.
September 13, 2012
In his recent Business Jet Traveler interview with Elite Aviation owner Chris Holifield, journalist Matt Thurber noted that "you don't see a lot of women-owned aviation businesses." Bizav, he said, is "a boys' club." It sure is, and so is the rest of the aviation world.

I recently interviewed Kenn Ricci, the principal of Directional Aviation Capital, which owns Flight Options, Nextant Aerospace and Constant Aviation. When I asked him about his state of mind, he immediately replied, "I made a pact with myself in 2007 to never complain about anything ever again."
July 31, 2012
These days, everybody complains about the airlines–rotten food, TSA hassles, cramped seating, long delays, lost luggage. And while private jet travelers are a decidedly happier lot, they've been known to offer the occasional gripe as well–the charter flight lacked sufficient baggage space, the catering service overcharged, the FBO disappointed.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a slave to lists. I have to-do lists all over my apartment and all over my desk, and I rarely leave home to run any sort of errand without a list in hand. My current system involves taking a few minutes at the end of each day to reconcile all of my lists with one master list–and then I start over the next morning.

Recently, my wife and I attended a college-planning event at our son's high school. It doesn't seem all that long ago that Andre was 5 and we were taking notes at an orientation session for parents of new kindergarteners, but here we are. He's 17 now and, with a little luck and a lot of our money, he'll be heading off to college next year.

My relationship with rock and roll—which began when I was in grade school and watching American Bandstand in the 1950s—deepened in the next decade as the music and I hit our teenage years. I started collecting records, attending lots of concerts and eventually writing about popular music for magazines and newspapers.

Naturally, the editors of Business Jet Traveler hope that you'll find every article we publish to be tailor-made for your needs. But of course that's impossible: last time I checked, we had 35,633 subscribers and–beyond the fact that they presumably share an interest in business aviation–they're all different.

Cinematic sequences to extremes (get the source video from vimeo : http://vimeo.com/27821207), getting much closer to the collage cinema I would love to make one day. About 30 sequences and numerous flash moments were edited from this obscure, but masterful psychological nightmare from Zulawski (1971). The music lyrics in French were added in subtitles. They are for Dans les Nocturnes Plantureuses from my album Un doux rêveur dans. Homme Sauvage dit. (2011).
This time with 10 sequences of what is by far my favorite Scorsese movie (http://vimeo.com/27549672) in a new order over Berger Rond first piece from his album Forecast Proof (2009) with Viveka Eriksson on vocals.
Fourth from the series of cinematic landscapes (music starts after about 30 seconds : http://vimeo.com/27512161) with one of the directors I can most easily connect with.
A third one from a series of cinematic sequences (http://vimeo.com/27500824). This time, Berger Rond's most electronic/drones music enters a zone that we acknowledge more and more today with i-pad and other gadgets of sort where human beings need for spirituality is satisfied through new technologies. Wenders predicted that quite well in this 4 hours movie from 1990.
A second one on a series of cinematic sequences linked to my spasmacousmatic music (http://vimeo.com/27494952). My music can adapt to a variety of styles ad genres. Here is a something specially connected in terms of creative methods and overall imagery. The music features Viveka Eriksson on vocals and it appears on this album :
Hoping this movie (better sound version on vimeo : http://vimeo.com/27473439) will make my music sound more accessible. Music from Le savant devait arriver avant songeur, w Viveka Eriksson on vocals, written with a book of 150 pages published on Editions Dédicaces and easy to find in e-book.

A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
by Mark S. Tucker
This week, I learned that one of my cousins was doing a post-Ph.D about the brain during sleep. I loved this idea a lot and will probably try to contact him soon. This said, I have no idea where my cousin views stand. What is sure is that this video from Rupert Sheldrake brings out, on different angle, so much of the ideas I am most fascinated by like intuition, the line between rational calcul, unexplainable subjectivity, visions in solitude, hallucinations, social influence from one person to another. In particular, it's in the same spirit than my new logo for the Berger Rond part of freakywaves. You know, I am not a really spiritual person so far in this life. I am not about religion at all.

Blood pressure (BP) should be measured and recorded at each clinic visit in pregnancy.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy should be carefully classified, distinguishing among 'chronic', occurred for the first time in pregnancy after 20 weeks, and presence or absence of proteinuria.
Follow-up and lifestyle changes should be prescribed for women who suffered from hypertensive disorders in pregnancy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death from myocardial infarction later in life.
Databases should be organised for pregnancy outcomes to provide a basis for future research, including the presence and the class of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy other than pure data such as mode and timing of delivery and neonatal weight, etc.

Today, the California Supreme Court denied a court challenge to Proposition 8 and allowed a bare majority of voters to place the controversial language in the State Constitution. The language bars civil marriage for same-sex couples in California, despite the fact that the Supreme Court found marriage to be a "fundamental right" just last year. The Court also upheld the unions of 18,000 same-sex couples who wed before Proposition 8 took effect.
"Today's decision is extremely disappointing," said People For the American Way Foundation president Michael B. Keegan. "The Court abdicated its historic role as a guardian of Californians' rights and liberties. A majority of Californians have a right to amend the State Constitution, but not to revoke fundamental rights from a minority. People For the American Way Foundation will continue its work with allies to fight for the rights of all couples to obtain the protections of civil marriage."
"This is a sad day for anyone who cares about equality for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters," said Rev. Dr. Kenneth Samuel, vice-chair of People For the American Way Foundation's African American Ministers Leadership Council and a Senior Fellow at People For the American Way Foundation. Dr. Samuel is Senior Pastor of Victory For the World Church in Stone Mountain, Ga. "But I know that there are millions of Californians who will not rest until every person is treated equally under the law. That gives me great hope. Equality under the law is the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the guarantee of the U.S. Constitution, and I believe it is the will of God."
