Slowly yet surely building my makeup kit...
As many of you all know, I'm starting to get into doing makeup on the side. After all, something's got to pay for all this makeup I've been getting. This has been one of my new year's resolutions…I think I've finally found something that I enjoy and that I'm pretty good at it. It helps keep me sane with the craziness of my corporate job.
Part of the whole process is learning how to apply makeup, but you also have to obtain the proper resources as well. Throughout the past weeks I've been slowly building my makeup kit, filling my train-case I bought from ebay. Did I mention I love how many traincase has wheels? I brought it to my friends how this weekend for bridal makeup practice and it saved my back! Anyways, I've really kicked up my kit purchases a notch with this wedding coming up because I want to make sure I'm prepared! A lot of my items have come from MAC, Ulta, Sephora, Wal-MART, as well as www.camerareadycosmetics.com. This site is such a valuable resource because it really opened up my eyes to professional grade cosmetics. Many of these lines may not be familiar to you, but if you've done your research on specktra.net, a lot of the makeup artists refer to this website and many of the brands offered on it. At first, I only knew of commercial lines that the public is exposed to such as MAC, Smashbox, MUFE, Urban Decay etc…but now I'm a big fan of makeup marketed towards makeup artist such as: RCMA, Graftobian, Cinema Secrets, etc… I love getting these products for my kit because they often come in convenient palettes in a variety of shades which are a lot easier to pack in your train case. On top of that…the products are always top notch…pigmented, in a wide variety of colors to suit every person, and easy to apply.
When I first started building my kit for example, the thought of purchasing a million different foundation colors was daunting. However, I pretty much have that covered now. I bought two foundation palettes from RCMA and they pretty much have every color you could ever need. I bought the sampler size version where each palette slot can do about 8-10 full faces worth of foundation. Since I'm starting out this works perfectly…and I can always replace colors that I run out of. Here's a pic of the foundations…there are 18 colors in each palette and I have two different palettes. With 36 colors to choose from I usually don't have a problem matching shades.
The foundation is cream based so I usually pick a scoop out with my mini spatula then mix in a liquid solution made for thinning out cream cosmetics. This allows me to turn it to a liquid foundation if I want, or mix it with other colors so I can have a better match. I highly recommend! I'm also going to purchase a few palettes from Cinema Secrets. They offer mini-palettes of 5 colors each…I'll probably get one for really light skin tones and one from darker skin tones to widen my color range and buy more later if need be.
I also recently purchased a palette of Graftobian powder foundation with more than 10 shades. This can be used as a powder to set foundation, or by itself dry or wet, depending on the coverage.
This weekend, I went to wal-mart and ulta this weekend and picked up some essentials you may not think of putting in your kit…
From Wal-Mart:
-mini can of hairspray ( a lot of times, makeup artist have to do hair as well so gotta be prepared for touch-ups)
-nail polish remover pads
-visine – regular version
-visine for contacts
-mustache/eyebrow scissors
-cotton swabs
-small box of Kleenex
-plastic comb
-mini pack of unscented wet ones
-small hair-brush
-empty 3 oz bottle (for toner)
-cotton rounds
-small can of shaving cream
-hand sanitizer
-small empty spray bottle (for rubbing alcohol)
-hand held mirror
-disposable razors
Luckily Ulta is right next store, so I stopped by to purchase what I couldn't find at wal-mart:
-velour puffs
-a large, washable round cosmetic sponge (to brace my hand on someone's face when I'm doing makeup)
-black and brown waterproof mascara-I bought them from Max Factor, the kind that have a screw on top and the brush on the side…that way I can prevent myself from using the brush it came with…I have disposable mascara wands I use for other people…two wands, one for each eye
Online from various vendors, I've also bought the following in the last couple of weeks:
-brush apron (looks exactly like the one from MAC)
-disposable mascara spoolies
-disposable spatulas
-disposable lipstick brush applicators
-disposable lipgloss doe-foot applicators
I've been building this monster since November 2007. Here are other times I've collected or already had that I can stick in my kit:
-latex sponges – round and wedge shaped
-moisturizer – cetaphil I put in a mini jar
-graftobian lipstick palettes – 2 palettes, one in fashion shades and one in cool shades
-camera ready palette of blushes –about 8 blushes in this palette
-camera ready palette of shadow – about 5 basic colors –browns, grays, and black
-gel eye liner in black and brown
-fake lashes
-clear brow gel (from E.L.F only one dollar!)
-brush cleaner in a small bottle
-duo lash glue
-pencil sharpener
-translucent loose powder
-loose powder in a café color
-hair clips
-binder clips (to hold back clothing in shoots)
-makeup remover wipes
-aquaphor (for lips)
-pallet of neturalizers by cinema secrets
-graftobian crème blush palette
-oil blotting papers
-heated eyelash curler
-and a variety of makeup brushes in my apron…everything from M.A.C, to target, to no-name brands, to Michaels…
Many items I change in and out of the train case because they are items that I also use…except I sanitize them thoroughly if I put them in my kit. For example, I avoid using the lipgloss wands or mascara wands that come with the product so that I don't contaminate them. Items that I'm still working on buying solely for my train case are:
-various lip pencils
-eyeliner pencils
-various lipsticks
-mascara base
-regular lash curler
-I have multiple MAC e/s palettes that I change in and out depending on the client…you can just wipe off the top layer of the e/s with tissue when using it on someone else.
So that's pretty much everything in my kit, or that I want to be in my kit. I hope this helps some of you guys because when I first started out I was doing so much research looking for some of things I should have. Hopefully now I'll have more jobs to book to use this stuff! I just like being prepared in the meanwhile
I've already got a few possibilities lined up…I'll share more when that time comes. Let me know if you guys have any questions! I'd also love to hear any product suggestions from you guys!

Yup! Pretty much sums up everything needed! I also have bobby pins in my kit and clips to pull back hair or style hair, and I like hairspray to tame the eyebrows. Nice post sis!

wonderful kit! i love your powder palette, makes things much more compact!
have you melted down l/s yet for containers? i'm so apprehensive about that.
i need to get a cape for the client, i already have an apron (powder on my black clothes! LOL) you have a fabulous kit!
do you have a mixing pan..for either your liquids or mixing your cremes?
lastly, you have enough cleaning products, but i carry alcohol wipes.. very handy!!

oh i meant to ask.. why did you decide on graftobian lipstick palettes/blush, etc. had you used them before and liked them or strictly off of recommendation? i've been trying to get to my review of those synthetic brushes by coastal scents, but i know it will be time intensive. to answer you directly, i don't think they are worth it.. even though they are only $20.. put it towards something else =( their badger brushes are more promising which i look forward to buying soon.

what a great blog:)I would also suggest keeping eyebrow templates in your kit,Ardell makes them and they are maybe $3 at Target. You can buy a silver ring at michaels to keep the templates in 1 place. This is great for helping create an arch for ladies without a shape or no hairs at all. Also, maybe throw in a primer and some cream shadows for the more mature skin. Dont forget to throw some of your business cards in your traincase:)Oh,I have also found it helpful to have my own "studio" chair(Ikea has them) and clip on desklamp, this will prevent you from killing your back and really help you out if you are ever in an area with poor lighting:) Oh, another idea, it may be good to collect "bundles of brushes," if you are ever working on a large group of people, have lots of bundles of brushes (eyes,lips,face) and when finished chuck them in a dirty bag to all be cleaned later up instead of cleaning/waiting for your 1 set of brushes to dry between each client:)Good luck on your wedding!!

With all of this you're a professional make-up artist! I seriously envy the 2 palettes with 36 different shades. That would be sooo handy! I usually use translucent powder if I don't have the right shade.

yummy: right now i have a plastic painters palette with a lid as well as a steel mixing palette so i can mix foundations, as well as put stuff like lipgloss and glue so i dont have to dig right into the product...i've yet to do the lipstick thing yet...i'm so scared to take things out of their lipstick containers! that's why i have two lipstick palettes so far...but a lot of the colors in there i'm not completely comfortable with so far...also with graftobian...i picked them because they had more colors to choose from then the camera ready cosmetics...also saw good reviews on specktra...i haven't used the creme blushes yet but i've used a few of the lipsticks and so far so good...thanks for the brush review! i've been looking for that...did you see pursebuzz's review on the brushes too? she seemed to point more towards the badger brushes as well...
sass: no prob! we gotta help each other out!
maayari: i'm trying! it's hard to stick on a budget though!
beautymarked3281: wow thanks for the tips! i saw once someone recommended a studio chair but it was expensive! i'll have to check out the one at ikea next time cuz my back does kill sometimes...do you have any creme shadows to recommend? right now i really just have MAC paints and paintpots...

hi ren. love your blogs! i used to be in the beauty industry before i went back to college! you're gonna be a great makeup artist! i used to do makeup for weddings, proms, parties, etc. it can get stressful. well, for me it was, cause i was doing their hair too! you should learn to do a few updos to add to your service. or curl their hair or straighten it. i would always fix their hair and then do the makup. i would just make sure they have an idea of what they want. the longest part is them deciding on what kinda hair or look they're going for. after that, it's not toooooooo bad. i would also take pictures and start a portfolio to show your future clients. that's what i did. i had pictures and then my other clients could look and pick what look they liked more. it just gave them an idea of what they would look like. well, you're gonna do well! you do an awesome job. take care!

I suggest tissue for watery eyes and runny noses. I know sometimes my nose runs for no reason, especially if it is cold. So being able to hand them something to clean up before they mess up your masterpiece would be helpful because most people don't carry any. You can get the big packs from a dollar store, I think they have ten mini packs in each. And with that, maybe some Neosporian for germs. I wish you success.

Search still on for missing man
State police are continuing to ask for the public's help as they search for Scott Haworth, a Massachusetts man who is believed to have gone missing while hiking in the Dix Mountain Wilderness Area.
"(We're) asking the public for any help that they can offer us," State police spokeswoman Jennifer Fleishman said. "If they locate, while they're hiking, any articles of clothing, any items that they believe might belong to Scott Haworth, to call us so that we can check it out."
Haworth, of Chicopee, Mass., was last seen at the Valley Grocery in Keene Valley on Sept. 5. State police later found his car, a 2002 Ford Escort, parked at the Round Pond Trailhead to the Dix Mountain Wilderness on Sept. 10.
Haworth was last seen at work on Aug. 25, where he is employed at a bulk mail center in Springfield, according to Chicopee police. He was reported missing a week later after not showing up to work.
Despite an extensive search, state police have reported that they have found no evidence of his activities other than his appearance in the grocery store and finding his car.
Forest rangers, a state police Special Operations Response Team and a K-9 unit have been used to search for Haworth. On Friday, search parties planned to concentrate on Elk Lake, Box Car Pond and Cranberry Pond.
Haworth is an experienced hiker who frequently hikes alone. He is a white male, 46 years old, is 6 feet tall, weighs 165 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes.
"From what we understand from the family, it was common for him to take long hikes, extended day hikes," Fleishman said. "This isn't necessarily out of the ordinary for him."
Anyone who may have seen Scott Haworth or any items that may belong to the lost hiker can call the New York State Police in Ray Brook, 518-897-2000.

Topic: arbitrary math root (cube, 4th ...5th etc)
Is there anything built in (or otherwise I welcome clever programming solutions), to
find an arbitrary root ?
I see there is Math::sqrt and Math:log/log10 .. and I've done some googling and have found ways of "building" a 'root' function using them, but I haven't been able to get it to work.
Specficially I'm trying to calc the 12th root of x... the application being a little prog to calculate guitar fret positions (if you were building a guitar ..... I'm not, .. but I have a couple of guitars and am curious about checking their specs.

I found a pair of these beetles under the bark of a rotting log. I tore the log up looking for the larvae, which I have never photographed, but had no luck. Having captured a pair, I'm going to try and rear them. (I felt a bit guilty about tearing up the log, too, disrupting their home--I normally do nothing more than pull off a bit of bark.) -BugGuide account PCCA20090216-7583A

The Hollow Ceasefire and How It Can Be Fixed
At the beginning of Operation Pillar of Defense, following the successful elimination of Hamas military chief of staff Ahmed Jaabari, Israel's defense minister stated the goals of the operation. It was clear that this time Israel's leaders have learned the lessons of the Second Lebanon War, of Operation Cast Lead, and of the historical statement of Likud MK Yaakov Meridor, who, on the eve of elections for the tenth Knesset in 1981, announced his invention that could illuminate the city of Ramat Gan with the amount of energy required to light a single light bulb. In other words – Israel's leaders have not learned yet how to win wars, but at least they've learned how to phrase their promises so no one could blame them when they weren't fulfilled.
Netanyahu and Barak promised "rehabilitation of our deterrence." But you can only measure deterrence after a long time has passed. It is already clear, for example, that the side that shoots at Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ashdod and Beer Sheva on the day the ceasefire talks are in their prime – is not really afraid, and is mostly assured of its own power, and realizes that with more power it would be able to squeeze more.
Netanyahu and Barak promised "significant damage to the military and organizational capability of the terrorist organizations in Gaza." There is no doubt that dozens of terrorists, including senior officials, were killed. But was Hamas's power damaged "significantly?" Hamas's power is measured by its ability to harm us, and those who have been terrorizing millions of Israelis have been accomplishing all their goals.
Was rocket fire from Gaza reduced as per Netanyahu promises? The simple answer is known by all the civilians seeking shelter, for whom it does not matter if 120 or "only" 80 rockets are fired at Israel in one day.
The truly fantastic achievements of the ISA and the Air Force have led to the destruction of thousands of rockets before they could be launched. But Hamas and the Palestinian Jihad Gaza still possess tens of thousands of rockets. Therefore their ability to impact Israel has decreased, but not to a degree that would make a significant difference in the very life, the daily routines and the safety of property of the citizens of Israel.
And worst of all – Israel's leaders promised "a long future period without without rockets." Of course it's impossible to measure such a promise now. But in the past, such promises on the part of terrorist organizations in Gaza were proven worthless.
One central issue was absent from the assurances given by Netanyahu and Barak: stopping the flow of weapons into Gaza. Without such a guarantee, there is obviously no value to all the other promises. In conclusion: the ceasefire taht was reached without achieving any of the operation's goals, while accepting Hamas's dictates on reducing the IDF's freedom of action in the Gaza Strip, is a clear victory for Hamas.
Hamas knows that Israel now fears the prospect of a ground operation, due to the price we would have to pay in our soldiers' lives – as well as the political and public opinion price of killing a large number of Arab civilians, which would be an inevitable part of such action.
Hamas understands the limitations of our power. It knows that even though we have the capacity to erase the Gaza Strip with indiscriminate artillery and air fire – we will never do it. The feeling of victory on the part of Hamas is a tremendous shot in the arm to all the other terrorist organizations, who are now taking up anew their old and familiar methods of murder, like a bus bombing in Tel Aviv last week.
Despite the failure in achieving the operation's goals, Israel is being denied by its leaders the only move that can really subdue Hamas. What is this single move? The recapture of the Gush Katif area and the Philadelphi route in southern Gaza, and the creation of large, fixed land buffers between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai. Only then will it be possible to stop the flood of rockets, explosives, and the means necessary for their production in Gaza. Such a move would come at a price, but this is the only step with which Israel could truly choke Hamas.MK Aryeh Eldad

Imported and Older Comments:
Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to a ceasefire after President Barack Obama personally pledged to start deploying US troops in Egyptian Sinai next week and after also Clinton stated that Obama had decided to accelerate the construction of an elaborate US system of electronic security fences along the Suez Canal and northern Sinai that would cork up the Philadelphia route through which arms are smuggled into the Gaza Strip. This would be the first time that an American special forces operation against the Sinai segment of the Iranian smuggling route would count as an overt American military strike against an Iranian military interest. I agree that no other country can protect Israel better than Israel itself; however, what do you suggest that Israel do so as to go in place of what America proposes to do now?
Liad, the reason is revealed in the CNN interview between Naftali Bennet and Ed Hussain of the CFR that is on youtube. It would seem to the unaware viewer would see the Arab as pro-Palestinian, but he was actually speaking from the CFR policy book and something about provoking a regional war. Without even talking about conspiracies, the CFR is a major international organization to which most western leaders past and present belong (including Netanyahu). It is actually a stabilizer, yet the unknowns are the Israelis and the Arabs. Obama was not having Israel's interests in sight but rather to make sure that the Israelis and Hamas don't ruin his plans for new world order.

At sundown on September 16, the Jewish community in the United States and all over the world celebrated the start of the new year. In honor of the occasion, President Barack Obama extended warmest wishes to all those celebrating and delivered a video message, in which he said:
"..Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are also opportunities for reflection. They represent a chance to take stock of our lives and look forward to the coming year with clear eyes and renewed purpose.
"In that spirit, the Jewish Tradition teaches us that one of the most important duties we have during this period is the act of reconciliation. We're called to seek each other out and make amends for those moments when we may not have lived up to our values as well as we should.
"At a time when our public discourse can too often seem harsh; when society too often focuses on what divides us instead of what unites us; I hope that Americans of all faiths can take this opportunity to reach out to those who are less fortunate; to be tolerant of our neighbors; and to recognize ourselves in one another. And as a nation, let us be mindful of those who are suffering, and renew the unbreakable bond we share with our friends and allies -- including the State of Israel.
"In that spirit, Michelle and I wish you and your families a sweet year full of health, happiness, and peace. L'Shana Tovah."

CANARY: Free software helps protect water suppliesCANARY allows water utility operators to quickly detect changes in water quality and make immediate mitigation decisions to address the problem
By Doug Page
The scale, diversity and complexity of the nation's potable water systems render them susceptible to accidental or intentional contamination. Detecting contamination in drinking water reservoirs rapidly and accurately is therefore critical for notifying customers of threats to public health and for making remediation and recovery decisions expediently.
Government scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have come up with a software package called CANARY that changes the water contamination pecking order. CANARY allows water utility operators to quickly detect changes in water quality and make immediate mitigation decisions to address the problem.
The software tells utility operators within minutes whether something is wrong with their water, giving them time to warn the public before contaminated water is distributed throughout the network. In addition to achieving homeland security goals, CANARY can enhance day-to-day water quality management by giving utility managers comprehensive real-time data about changes to their water supplies.
"CANARY is available free to water companies of all sizes worldwide striving to provide the best quality water to their customers," said Sandia researcher Sean McKenna.
CANARY runs on any computer, can be customized for individual water utilities, and works with existing sensors and software. It also works at lightning speed compared to weekly manual sampling, which is still how some utilities monitor their water, McKenna said. The open-source nature of CANARY allows all utilities access to state-of-the-art event-detection capabilities that can make the most of their existing investments in water-quality sensors.
"From the start of an event, when a contaminant reaches the first sensor, to an event alarm would be 20 to 40 minutes, depending on how the utility has CANARY configured," McKenna said.
In 2003, Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 established a national policy for federal departments and agencies to identify and prioritize critical infrastructure for protection against terrorist attacks, specifically critical infrastructure "… whose exploitation or destruction by terrorists could cause catastrophic health effects or mass casualties comparable to those from the use of a weapon of mass destruction…"
McKenna said CANARY directly addresses this mandate by providing advanced techniques for the continuous monitoring of water quality within municipal distribution networks and real-time notification of adverse changes in water quality.

text: Mitch Spivack: The 1971-P ranks among the top three toughest dates in the entire series to obtain in MS67 grade. Just like the 1969-P, everything that could possibly go wrong in your hunt for a superb gem is encountered when you go after this one! Badly scuffed surfaces, poor luster, weak strikes... you name it. I believe I have been through thousands upon thousands of 1971-P coins over the past (3) decades, including huge quantities of fresh U.S. Mint sets and original rolls. You begin to realize just how frustrating a search for an MS67 specimen is after you finish carefully screening a couple hundred fresh 1971 Mint Sets and realize the nicest couple of 1971-P quarters you located might grade MS65 at best! If you get a chance, take a look at a handful or two of 1971 Mint Sets. You should immediately see just how poor quality the 1971-P quarters are in these sets. In my opinion, the 1971-P quarter has a fantastic future for gem and better quality specimens.

Not new but enormously popular is the erroneous argument that evolution precludes belief in God and that all evolutionists are perforce atheists. Yet in fact many scientists are religious, and most mainline religions see no conflict between their faith and evolutionary theory. In pleading for good science education, Kansas university presidents wrote "The simple fact is, demonstrated in our universities every day, that people can believe both in God and evolution."47
Pope John Paul II reaffirmed his support for evolutionary theory and scientific inquiry in 1996, reiterating a similar statement he made to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences almost 20 years ago.48 In fact the Catholic Church went on record in 1950 with Pope Pius XII, who wrote that there is "no opposition between evolution and doctrine of the faith about man and his vocation."49
Nonetheless, Pope John Paul II's statement incurred the wrath of the creationist group Answers in Genesis, which charged that the Pope "contradicts the teaching of Jesus, the apostles, and even church tradition—that Adam's literal Fall in a literal Garden of Eden caused death and suffering in the world." Citing syndicated columnist Cal Thomas, AiG claimed that the Pope had succumbed to the tyranny he had fought all his life by accepting a "philosophy that stands at the core of communism."50
Catholicism is not alone in its recognition that scientific inquiry and religious faith do not conflict. Merely a few decades after Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859, the Church of England accepted evolution by natural selection.51 Voices for Evolution, published by the National Center for Science Education in California, is a compendium of statements supporting evolution made by scientific organizations, educational groups and religious organizations. The latter includes the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A; Lutheran World Federation; United Methodist Church; Episcopal Church, General Convention; Unitarian Universalist Association, American Jewish Congress, Roman Catholic Church, and many more.52
For their part, scientists do not contend that evolution precludes faith. Charles Darwin himself wrote "It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent Theist and an evolutionist."53 The overwhelming majority of scientists regard religion and science as separate realms of inquiry that do not contradict each other. As America's largest professional society of physicists puts it, "Scientific inquiry and religious beliefs are two distinct elements of the human experience. Attempts to present them in the same context can only lead to misunderstandings of both."54

Nvidia Corp. unveiled at Siggraph conference the industry's first interactive ray-tracing engine that utilizes graphics processing units (GPUs). The Optix engine is aimed at professional applications and is currently compatible with Nvidia's Quadro FX professional graphics solutions. Potentially, this means that applications based on the engine will also have limited compatibility.
Nvidia Optix engine is a programmable ray tracing pipeline enabling software developers to easily bring new levels of realism to their applications using traditional C programming. According to the developer, the Optix engine greatly accelerates the ray tracing used across a spectrum of disciplines, including: photorealistic rendering, automotive styling, acoustical design, optics simulation, volume calculations and radiation research. Application developers may use the Optix engine to redefine what's possible for designers, engineers and researchers.
At present ray tracing engines rely in central processing units and a lot of them are not intended to be interactive, but are tailored to provide the best possible image quality. Nvidia's Optix is an interactive engine that uses GPUs, thus, may be potentially faster than competing ray tracing engines available today.
Currently Nvidia's engine is only aimed at professional applications, not video games, hence, the company decided to limit compatibility of its Optix to Quadro FX GPUs. It remains to be seen whether developers of non-proprietary professional graphics software attempt to utilize proprietary ray tracing engine with limited hardware compatibility.
Nvidia Optix engine will be available in fall 2009.

Strategy: How Did They Get In? A Guide to Tracking Down the Source of APTs
Advanced persistent threats are just what their name implies—sophisticated and stubborn. It is difficult to identify that your organization's systems and data are under an APT attack, let alone uncover all of the attack's component parts, find out the source of attack, determine the scope of infiltration and damage, and identify the attacker (with the latter being the most difficult task of all).
To get at the root of the problem, security professionals must leverage a great many tools and employ in-depth (and often manual) analysis of log files, network traffic and program code. Logging and monitoring, behavioral analysis and training are important components of any efforts to identify and dissect APTs. Indeed, many organizations will find that they cannot go it alone. Combining the experience, knowledge base and resources of the business and security communities will be a critical factor in mitigating—and ultimately eliminating—APTs. (S4740412)

Rumblings xtra: Items that didn't make print edition
The Columbus Dispatch - January 31, 2014 09:28 AM
Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase told reporters during preparations for the Super Bowl this week that he didn't decide not to interview for the Browns head coaching job because of his poor perceptions of the team.
"My decision was strictly because we went (to) the playoffs," Gase said. "It would have been hard for me to change gears that fast, especially once we beat San Diego (in the division round)."
Gase was on Cleveland's initial list of prospective candidates, but he decided not to interview until the team was eliminated from the playoffs. With the Broncos winning, that became problematic for him.
"My mindset was on what we wanted to do to get to this point here to try and finish this off," Gase said. "I just remember how I felt last year after we lost that Baltimore game. Me personally, I would not have been able to forgive myself if something would have happened that first playoff game. I would have felt like I didn't spend enough time doing what God needed me to do to fulfill my role."
Hiring a staff and coordinating scouting for the draft would have created a time crunch.
"After this game, we're like two weeks from the combine," he said. "The turnaround is going to be unbelievable."
The Blue Jays have become a favorite to land one of two of the prominent free agent starting pitchers available, which include former Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez, in part because they have two No. 1 draft picks that are protected from loss to free agent signings. The Jays would lose only a second rounder if they signed a protected a free agent, which wouldn't substantially hurt their draft prospects, a factor with some of the other clubs in the hunt for starting pitching.
An "executive who knows Jimenez well" told CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman that Jimenez "would be a good fit for Toronto" and the same could also be said about Ervin Santana, another prominent free agent starting pitcher.
Two rival GMs suggested Jimenez may now be willing to sign for a three-year deal (one suggested a three-year deal for $39 million) and another noted that "Everyone's price is coming down."
The Tribe might still be interested in signing Jimenez, depending on how the market shakes out. To this point, they have been more concerned about discussions for a multi-year deal for Justin Masterson, who can become a free agent after the 2014 season. Last week, the Plain Dealer reported that talks for a multi-year deal were suspended while Masterson's agent and the Indians attempt to work toward a one-year deal that will avoid the arbitration process. Masterson filed at $11.8 million and the team countered at $8.05 million.
Bronson Arroyo let his frustration show in an interview with ESPN's Jayson Stark. The former Reds starting pitcher has yet to get an offer in free agency. In the meantime he watched the Yankees give $155 million at a Japanese pitcher – Masahiro Tanaka -- who had never thrown a pitch in the big leagues.
"I get [Clayton] Kershaw," Arroyo said. "I get why he got all that money. But then you've got guys like Dice-K [Matsuzaka], who came over here and was good for the first couple years but then didn't pan out. And when he doesn't pan out, they all just forget and go on to the next guy who's not proven, and pay him.
"Meanwhile, they forget about guys like me, who have done the job for the last eight or 10 years, and treat them like they've never done anything in this game. That's hard, man."
Arroyo's name has been linked to a lot of teams, including the Reds, but there have been no concrete offers.
"I don't even have an offer to turn down," he said. "So I might still be sitting here on March 1. I don't know what to do. I'm not trying to break the bank. But I am a guy who's performed for the last 10 years as consistently as anybody in the game. And for some reason, nobody's thrown me an offer yet."
Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant met with reporters this week and as might have been expected, couldn't explain the team's continuing problems on the court. The acquisition of Luol Deng from the Bulls hasn't noticeably turned this around; Cleveland lost four out of five on its recent home stand, then lost 117-86 last night to the Knicks in New York..
When asked if there was a chance the Cavs would make another deal before Feb. 20 trade deadline, Grant made no promises.
"That's a hard one," Grant said. "Predicting trades is fairly difficult. I have no idea. We're happy with Deng, so if we don't do anything, we feel like we've added a quality player. If there's an opportunity to improve the team, we'll take advantage of it."
Deng has left the door open for a return to Chicago when he becomes a free agent at the end of the season. When the Chicago Sun-Times recently asked the Cavaliers player about the prospect of that happening, he first gave a sarcastic answer.
''I don't know,'' Deng said. ''Maybe they'll offer me three years, $30 million. That might be an option to take.''
Deng walked away from that offer several days before the Bulls made the decision to trade him to Cleveland. He must not be against the idea of going back however.
''I can't say,'' he said. ''There's no bad blood or anything. For me to sit here and say I'm taking Chicago out of the equation, that's stupid. I was there for 10 years.''

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (52 votes).
In short: Midsommer Murders with a race thrown inIn full: The Elmore is one of those races that you take cynics along to and they come back year after year. It takes place as part of the Chipstead Flower Festival - dog shows, prize vegetables (the vicar always wins most of the prizes) and cream teas included. It would be a shame if there wasn't the odd murder to spice things up as this is truly middle class England at it's finest albeit a stones throw from South London and the M25. The race itself starts and finishes in the show-ground and you're definitely an integral part of the event. The course covers largely traffic-free country lanes with some rolling hills in the middle. As it's an odd distance, you'll almost certainly set a PB the first time around but it's not a slow course by any means. It takes place on a Saturday so plenty of time to recover before the long Sunday run; or like one of our club members you could have run the Bromley ParkRun at 9am, the Elmore at 2pm and the Surrey Slog the following day! Date of review: July 24, 2010
In short: A nice raceIn full: Well organised, nice touch with the village fair, easy parking, the nicest portaloos ever,Good run for replacing the Saturday training run, Very good value for money Date of review: July 22, 2010
In short: No gimmicks, just a very enjoyable raceIn full: An excellent on-road race. Having the start at the village fair made for an excellent atmosphere (with easy and close parking). Very much a no-gimmicks rural road race. Organisation was excellent and scenery was beautiful (excluding half a mile beside a main road!!). Nice to have a race on a Saturday.Date of review: July 19, 2010
In short: a lovely saturday raceIn full: as always the organisers put on a great race , a lovely course and having the race as part of the village fair is a fantastic idea. great support at the finish, lovely medal and a great way to wind down after the race walking around the fair. will be back again next year.Date of review: July 18, 2010
In short: Lovely bumpy course, great portaloos ;)In full: Lovely friendly atmosphere at the flower show, very inclusive for runners . Course truly urolling to start then flattened out,mainly around pretty country lanes . The usual bugbear of the tannoy man commenting on "serious" runners and "fun" runners.Those guys nearer the back were probably having less fun in the heat than those who stormed in first, and were equally serious about training. Rant over. It was a lovely little race, well marshalled,positions recorded by people not chips - the real grass roots of running. Thanks SLHDate of review: July 18, 2010
In short: Local race, well organised, bit hilly so no pb, lovely group of peopleDate of review: July 18, 2010
In short: Kebab, cake and plants galore - oh yes, and the raceIn full: Having this as part of the village fair/show is great. I had a pre-race kebab, a post-race cake and came away loaded down with plants and other goodies. The encouragement from people at the the fair was worth it in itself. Highly recommended - hope to be back next year.Date of review: July 17, 2010
In short: Very nice Challenging eventDate of review: July 17, 2010

No, don't add a dry starter to your current starter. Your two new starters should come with instructions on how to reactivate them from a dry state. It usually takes me a few days to reactivate a starter from the dry state.
John, I do it at elevated temps at around 85f or so, but room temp works fine. It just takes longer. Inside the oven with the light on is a good place.

Jaime Hernandez: The 2007 Washington Dollar was the first proof Presidential Dollar design in the Presidential Dollar Series.
The coins were only sold in a four piece proof set. Each set contained a Proof Presidential Dollar coin with a portrait of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Each coin will display an S mint mark on the edge of the coin, since the coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint.
The date, inscriptions in God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum were also placed on the edge of the coin. Proof coins have the edge inscriptions struck on the edge of the coin by a segmented three part collar die, unlike circulation strike Presidential Dollars which have the edge inscriptions applied on the edge by a Schuler Edge Lettering Machine.
Each 2007 Presidential Dollar Proof Set was offered directly from the mint for $14.95 each, with no ordering limits imposed. The sets went on sale in the middle of June 2007.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General Description
Description: The shell is large, with a valve length of up to 180 mm, and is thin-shelled and strongly elongate in outline. The height/length ratio of the valves is 0.19-0.23, and the shell is nearly equivalve. The periostracum is thin, brownish in colour, and only remains on a narrow peripheral area, with short commarginal elevated lamellae. The shell sculpture consists of very close-set commarginal striae and inconspicuous radial lines that run from the umbo to the posterior margin. The posterior sector of the shell is separated from the middle one by a keel that runs from the umbo to the ventro-posterior margin. The valves are in equilateral, with the umbo situated in the anterior 12-14% of the valve. The umbones are prosogyrate and low. The beaks are not enrolled and touch each other. The anterior-dorsal margin is short and convex. The anterior margin is rounded, whilst the ventral margin is concave. The posterior margin is rounded, but is more tapering than the anterior margin. The posterior-dorsal margin is straight proximally and convex distally. The internal shell surface is white. There is a sulcus running from the umbonal cavity to the anterior most point of the posterior adductor scar, with a row of small pallial scars just above this sulcus. The pallial line is distinct. There are secondary pallial scars in the anterior part of the pallial line that are very well-developed. The pallial sinus is a shallow irregular indentation just below the posterior adductor scar, which also has secondary pallial scars. The anterior adductor scar is ovately conical and impressed. The posterior adductor scar is larger, suboval and impressed towards the front. The anterior pedal retractor scar is deeply impressed, and is located above the anterior adductor scar. The posterior pedal retractor is slightly impressed and fused to the posterior adductor scar. The nymph is long and weak. There is a fibrous layer of ligament that occupies 30-38% of the valve length and 65-76% of the posterior lamellar layer.
Dentition of right valve in adults: There is a ventral cardinal (1) and subumbonal cardinal that consist of only a posterior ramus (3b). Tooth 1 is strong, wedge-shaped and pointed, radiating ventrally. 3b is much lower and radiates posteriorwards. There is no fusion between 1 and 3b, with their ventral parts diverging at <90°.
Dentition of left valve in adults: The subumbonal cardinal tooth has two rami (2a and 2b). The posterodorsal cardinal tooth (4b) is very inconspicuous, sometimes absent.. The 2b-ramus is the most developed, and is upright and radiates posteriorwards. The 2a-ramus is lower, sometimes reduced and thinner. The proximal part of 2a is connected with the lateral surface of 2b by a low bridge, with the ventral parts diverging at about 90°.
Dentition of right valve in juvenile of shell length 20.2 mm: The ventral cardinal tooth (1) is most developed, upright and shelf-like, and is nearly parallel to the dorsal margin of the shell. The subumbonal tooth has a very short anterior ramus 3a, which is completely reduced in adults. Ramus 3b is shelf-like, radiating posteriorwards. Behind 3b there is a thickening on the nymph that is separated from the posterior part of the nymph by a shallow furrow that radiates posteriorwards.
Dentition of left valve in juvenile: The 2a-ramus is shelf-like and parallel to the anterior-dorsal shell margin,. It is fused in its proximal part with the proximal part of the thicker 2b-ramus, which is also parallel to the posterior-dorsal shell margin. Tooth 4b is nearly totally reduced, and looks like a slight ridge that radiates posteriorly.

Tlicho Land Claims and Self-Government Act
Government Orders
10:45 a.m.
James Rajotte Edmonton—Leduc, AB
Mr. Speaker, I want to follow up on this because I do not know if I was clear in my question.
If we take a look at, for instance, the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, there is some disagreement now. The federal government is willing to go ahead but there is some disagreement with respect to the Deh Cho in the north. In terms of economic investment, the government needs to clarify.
Suppose there is a disagreement between either a provincial government and the federal government or between the Tlicho and this agreement, which would be paramount? Who, in the end, has the authority to make that decision?
To be honest, as I read the legislation and the treaty itself, I find them confusing. I do not find which level of government would be given paramountcy in these types of tough decisions. I would like the government member to highlight for us where in the agreement we can find which level of government would be paramount in issues of tough jurisdiction where one or more levels of government disagree.

Michael John Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, this agreement does state that Tlicho laws would be concurrent with federal and territorial legislation. However the Tlicho have agreed that any federal legislation would prevail over Tlicho laws. I assume that is the question the hon. member is asking. The agreement states, "There is no paramount authority over the federal Crown in relation to matters concerning the Tlicho".

Government Orders

Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca
Keith Martin Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to speak to Bill C-14, which I do support.
Many of my hon. colleagues had much to say about this and I will not restate their points, but I will talk about it in the context of first nations, Inuit, Métis and northerners identity, self-sufficiency and treatment within Confederation. In my opinion the bill is more than appropriate and timely. It is absolutely essential.
Bill C-14 would enable the Tlicho to affect their environment and the changes in a better way because they are most familiar with their local conditions. At long last the Tlicho will be guaranteed representation on land, water and renewable resource boards and within community governments. They will have control over the land and resource management, aboriginal language and culture.
By exercising their inherent rights, the Tlicho will have the power to assume control over their resources once and for all. They gain the right to grant interests and licences and they gain the freedom to establish partnerships and conduct business according to their needs, while at the same time respecting interests that already exist. I think that is an essential point to the good question that was posed by the opposition that this bill respects the interests of groups that are already there.
The Tlicho have ably demonstrated that they can manage their affairs responsibly and, indeed, profitably. I urge hon. members here today to remember that the Tlicho are one of the most prosperous aboriginal communities in the north. They have proven to be both forward thinking and industrious. They constructed and now run an airport, take a lead role in the management of their schools and have built and operated both senior centres and a long term care facility.
They have proven to be able and fair negotiators, and have successfully negotiated delivery agreements on a number of matters and, in particular, in working with the Northwest Territories. They have signed a number of mutually beneficial agreements with private sector firms, chief among them the far reaching impact that the Ekati Diamond Mine deal has struck.
The Tlicho have long experience in devising and supporting fruitful partnerships and alliances, partly due to their sharing nature and partly because of their world view. They and their society understand that long term health and prosperity lies directly with their ability to cooperate with those around them.
In the private sector their agreements have resulted in a wealth of economic and social benefits, including jobs and training opportunities. The resulting economic activity in Tlicho communities supports a wide range of social services. Indeed, when we consider this agreement, it springs from a group of communities working together in the spirit of collaboration. It is no surprise that Bill C-14 itself is the result of extensive and fruitful collaboration by many groups.
I am aware, though, that sometimes the results of public consultation have been criticized and overstated. In fact, we all know that sometimes consultation and collaboration have been far less than successful and merely an exercise of having a lot of meetings. However that was not the case in this set of negotiations that have resulted in Bill C-14.
The consultation process, in short, was exemplary. First, it was conducted as the combined efforts of the Tlicho, the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Government of Canada. This coherent tripartite approach ensured proper representation of all three levels of government from the beginning and, by unanimous agreement, the process was refined so that we have the formal agreement we have now.
Open house sessions were held in four Tlicho communities, as well as Yellowknife, and feedback was listened to and incorporated. What is important is that the public at large was informed about this process and had opportunities to have input all the way along.
In the summer of 2002, when the Government of Canada announced the withdrawal of 39,000 square kilometres of land that would eventually become Tlicho land, widespread public consultation occurred again with interest groups and representations from all three governments were brought to bear.
Another public information session occurred in September of that year when it was decided that further consultations were necessary to ensure that the public was completely informed and had ample time to discuss and respond to all these proposals. The chief negotiators had set up a three month information exchange period with interest groups so that questions would be asked and answers would be forthcoming.
It is worth noting that during these exchange periods, tangential discussions between the Tlicho and the Akaitcho Treaty 8 Dene gained considerable momentum. To their credit, the Tlicho were diligent negotiators. During these information exchange periods, in which the Tlicho agreement was hammered out, it was refined in a number of areas as a result of these negotiations so that by March 2003 the ratification process was formerly commenced.
This is a remarkable achievement of public consultation. It makes clear the intention of the local aboriginal people to be heard and respected. High public turnouts attested to this fact. Moreover, wide public consultation occurred throughout this process. People throughout the north had their views heard, respected and incorporated. That was been important. Some concerns had been expressed by members about the process.
The Tlicho are clearly ready to fulfill their obligation. They have been working toward this agreement for more than decade. They have staged hundreds of consultation sessions and have secured the support of a range of public and private sector groups. Now the Tlicho are ready to establish and maintain a democratic government. This is very important. I think it will address a number of the questions that will come from the opposition.
The Tlicho are ready to establish and maintain a democratic government within the constitutional framework of Canada. Their government will respect Canadian law, fully recognizing that the Tlicho, as are Canadians everywhere, will be subject to federal laws and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
My colleague on the other side asked a very legitimate question about the issue of who would be in control and which law would be of paramount importance. It is the laws of Canada. I can reference specifically within the agreement. Chapter 7 has very specific references as to which laws are paramount within the context of any conflicts that may occur between what is in the agreement for the Tlicho people and other levels of government. Article 7.7.2 explicitly states that the federal legislation will prevail over Tlicho legislation where there is any conflict. I hope this will answer the member's question specifically.
Many of us have had the opportunity to work with aboriginal people. We have seen what occurs in aboriginal communities. We have seen the devastation within some aboriginal communities, which has been wrought for such a long time. We have seen the pain, suffering, the social dislocations which have occurred and the terrible social parameters that occur with aboriginal people both on and off reserve.
Domestically, I know we are committed to change the historical problems that have occurred with aboriginal people and change the horrible social parameters in some communities, such as unemployment, substance abuse, the lack of skills training, fetal alcohol syndrome, dislocated communities, communities where they desperately need and want to work with non-aboriginal communities to ensure that together we can enjoy the fruits of our wonderful country.
We on this side are committed to doing this. I have no doubt that members on all sides want to work with aboriginal communities to change those parameters, to rectify those problems and ensure that aboriginal people will be able to teach us the strengths of their cultures and their communities. Together we will learn about each other and will enrich each other. Together we will have a stronger country. Together we are a stronger people. Together we are culturally enforced. Together we will improve the social welfare of the people and societies of which we are part. I know that we are committed to that goal.
Women Entrepreneurs

Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, encouraging and supporting women's entrepreneurship is a key priority for the government. Today, on the first anniversary of the report of the Prime Minister's task force on women entrepreneurs, which I had the opportunity to chair, I am pleased to inform the House that this priority is indeed being realized.
In particular, I would draw the attention of the House to the event concluding in Ottawa today on "Sustaining the Momentum: An Economic Forum for Women Entrepreneurs". This forum, co-sponsored by Industry Canada and the Eric Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, brings together leading thinkers in the public, private and academic sectors to consider ways to foster the development of women's entrepreneurship in Canada.
I hope all members of the House will join me in recognizing the importance of the contribution made by women entrepreneurs in advancing economic competitiveness and a high overall quality of life in communities throughout Canada.
Toward this end, the government looks forward to hearing and advancing considerations of the views and recommendations from this forum.
2004 Summer Olympic Games

Guy Lauzon Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to rise today to pay tribute to Olympic gymnast Melanie Banville. Melanie is 17 years old and hails from Long Sault in the riding I am proud to represent, Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry.
Melanie was one of only two Canadians to reach the individual all round final in gymnastics at the summer Olympic Games in Athens. Only the top 24 women gymnasts in the world advanced to the all round final. This achievement is even more remarkable considering that it was Melanie's first summer Olympics and that she had just recovered from two shoulder injuries in two months that forced her to miss three weeks of training.
Long Sault is proud, Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry is proud and Canada is proud of Melanie. I look forward to following her promising career in gymnastics. I know her athletic performance and personal grace will represent Canada well at future Olympic Games.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to announce that a team of young chefs from Prince Edward Island has brought back a gold medal for Canada from the Culinary Olympics in Germany this week.
The team members study at the Atlantic Tourism and Hospitality Institute in Charlottetown. They were competing against more than 700 chefs from 31 countries in tests of culinary skills. The team is made up of students Kreg Graham, Rebecca Hutchings, Mark Sheehy, Gerald Sharpe, Tommy Archibald, Kelly Clark, Natalie Fortier, Gillian Gilfoy and team coach Hans Anderegg.
These students come from every region of the country and have been achieving world class results as they compete in culinary events around Canada and in Europe.
Please join me in congratulating the members of team Canada on their gold medal performance and for showcasing Prince Edward Island's culinary institute on the global stage.
École du Bois-Joli

Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, recently, the École du Bois-Joli, in Trois-Rivières-Ouest, lost its right to use its student radio for educational purposes, this for reasons that seemed mysterious. We looked into this seemingly unjustified measure and we took the necessary actions, so that the student radio could resume its activities.
I also want to mention the hard work done by the media, the students, the parents and the school management to settle this issue.
Now that students have regained the right to carry on their educational activities through the student radio, to the satisfaction of the whole community, I wish to thank all those involved in the resolution of this matter, and I also want to underline how much these people care about students.
Bell Canada

Lui Temelkovski Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, over the course of the past several months numerous constituents, myself included, have encountered issues with the service of Bell Canada. As one of Canada's largest providers of telecommunications services, it is imperative that the service be reliable and professional.
The introduction of what is termed "Bell Bundles" also introduced billing and service difficulties for customers. For instance, customers are not being billed the way they have requested or told they would be billed; exceedingly long waiting times for customer support services; harassing customers to take unnecessary services; and customer support representatives who are not informed regarding the other portions of the bundle services, ultimately resulting in frustration and very poor service for users of Bell.
Given the importance of telecommunication services in the country, I look forward to a quick resolution to this problem.
Liberal Party of Canada

Tom Lukiwski Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, SK
Mr. Speaker, recently the revenue minister delivered what may be the ultimate statement in Liberal ethics. Asked why he ignored Treasury Board rules in appointing Gordon Feeney as chair of Canada Post, the minister replied that those were just suggestions and not regulations. All of a sudden, there is a lot of Liberal behaviour that is becoming quite clear.
The Prime Minister said he would not call an election until he got to the bottom of the sponsorship scandal. I guess he only suggested that possibility. The Prime Minister also vowed he would end cronyism. Again, it appears this was only a suggestion.
I have a suggestion for my Liberal colleagues. They should keep their resumés handy because after the next federal election, the voters will make the suggestion that they look for clear opportunities in the private sector.

Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to take this opportunity to recognize the contribution of the people who received awards last week, as part of Small Business Week, in the Restigouche region.
First, I want to congratulate Irène Doyle, from the region of Campbellton, who received an award as an exceptional individual in the Restigouche. Needless to say, people like Mrs. Doyle are making a significant contribution to our communities.
Finally, I want to congratulate Alain and Adrien Arseneault, of the Adrien Arseneault sawmill, who received the 2004 entrepreneurship award for the Restigouche. Their business, in the Balmoral region, is making a great contribution to the economic development of the riding, and this award is well-deserved by these business people and their team.

Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on behalf of the constituents of Chicoutimi—Le Fjord to salute a dynamic network of entrepreneurs from my riding and my region.
La Société des fabricants régionaux du Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, known as SFR, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and has nearly 100 heads of manufacturing companies as members. The goal of the society is to promote goods made in the Saguenay—Lac Saint-Jean region and it also develops strategies to face the challenge of globalization.
The Saguenay—Lac Saint-Jean region is going through difficult economic times. And yet I believe the initiative of these businesspeople shows that we have dynamic human resources and that we believe in our abilities.
Congratulations to the SFR.

Mr. Speaker, recently I was honoured to participate in the official opening of the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Health in its new home, the Michael G. DeGroote Centre for Learning and Discovery at McMaster University, an education institution that I was employed at for over 25 years.
The new institute for innovative research and gene therapeutics, under the stewardship of Dr. Jack Gauldie, is situated within one of the most advanced institutions of learning in Canada, indeed in the discipline of health sciences research worldwide.
The new centre will house one of the finest virology and immunology groups in Canada and will surely play a central role in positioning McMaster to take its place at the forefront of discovery.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a very important event that will be happening in my constituency. November 13th will mark the official welcoming ceremonies of the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry to CFB Shiloh. Preparations have been taking place since the move was announced, and the 700 soldiers and their families moved in over this past summer.
The residents of Brandon--Souris have welcomed the Princess Pats with open arms, reaching out to them and making them feel at home in their new surroundings. Soldiers and their families have reciprocated by becoming active in and bringing a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to their new communities.
As member of Parliament for Brandon--Souris, I am very pleased to welcome these honourable men and women in uniform and their families to the riding. I look forward to meeting with them at the official welcoming ceremonies on November 13.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Canadian Coast Guard on the addition of its new search and rescue cutter, Cape Chaillon to Thunder Bay harbour station at Keefer terminal.
The Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue program commitment to serve and protect lives in the maritime environment has search and rescue crews working out of Thunder Bay harbour from April until December each year, out in weather conditions most of us would only watch on television.
I would at this time also like to commend the good men and women who crew vessels like the Cape Chaillon for their bravery and skill, and recognize their contribution to the safety and well-being of all Canadians.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians from coast to coast to coast are very strong supporters of public broadcasting. Yet for years the Liberal Party has used the board of the CBC as a dumping ground for pals and payers to the party. Since 1936, 90% of the appointments to the CBC have been buddies of the governing party. What a dismal record.
The heritage committee has come forth with recommendations for setting up a transparent nomination procedure for CBC appointments. A new president is being appointed and Canadians are asking the government to turn over a new leaf.
Unfortunately it looks like the Liberals will be singing from the same old songbook and so the long list of Liberal appointments, anointments and reappointments will continue. We deserve better.
Stop using our institutions as a retirement home for political cronies.

Crysis 3: The Lost Island DLC to be relased on 5 June
EA will release The Lost Island multiplayer DLC pack for Crysis 3 on 5 June.
EA will release The Lost Island multiplayer DLC pack for Crysis 3 on 5 June.
Despite being a new developer, Crytek quickly made a name for itself as a developer of cutting edge games, at least on a technical level.
Electronic Arts has released a beta of Crysis 3's multiplayer leading up to the game's February 21 release in Australia.
With the original Crysis setting the benchmark for graphics and gameplay, and Crysis 2 marking the debut of the series on consoles, the stakes are high for next year's release of Crysis 3.
After a cliffhanger ending in Crysis 2, Crytek is following up with a third title in the series.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Look i know we haven't played good the past 2 weeks, but its time's like this when a teams heart is tested. we got blown out by NE, lost to miami in a game where our offense sucked balls, yet were still 9-4 and going against a tough pittsburg team. a victory here would be huge. Were still in prime position for a wild card spot (2 games up with 3 to go). The only thing we lost was the division, which is fine by me cause bye weeks haven't quite helped us. The world isn't over, the sky isn't falling. we heard all the same stuff after the week 1 debacle against the ravnes, then we won 4 straight (3 division) and it all went away. we heard it again after GB then won 4 straight and it went away. now we lost 2 in a row there is 3 games left. No reason to believe we won't win 3 straight secure a wildcard spot and enter the playoffs hot. sanchez tanked it towards the end last year too but played his best ball in the playoffs. Pitt is gonna sell out for the run and pass rush and i think that sanchez can have a huge day against them. Big Ben is busted up cro and revis can take away wallace and ward and our run D has been stout. Just relax and believe.
