Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Stéphane Dion President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois is getting all in an uproar over nothing. As far as parental leave is concerned, the province of Quebec can very easily add its program to ours. In a decentralized federation, that is how things are done.
SInce they insist on bringing up the past, however, must I remind them that, in March 1982, 48% of Quebecers disapproved of the Lévesque government's attitude to the constitutional agreement, and only 32% approved. As well, 49% of them considered the Constitution Act a good thing and only 16% thought the contrary. The Quebecers of 1982 were right.
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Roy Cullen Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Minister for International Trade will be leading a trade mission to India from April 22 to April 26. Economic growth in India during the past decade has been robust, making the world's largest democracy an ideal market for Canadian exports.
Given the large number of constituents in my riding of Etobicoke North who are keenly interested in this project, would the parliamentary secretary give us an update on the status of this trade mission?
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Pat O'Brien Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for International Trade
Mr. Speaker, India has the twelfth largest economy in the world. It has had a 30% growth in its GDP over the past five years, so obviously it is a very important market for Canada.
A hundred companies are part of this trip, with some 130 delegates, which makes it the largest ministerial trade trip ever. We will be highlighting such Canadian sectors as agrifood, building products and services, education, environment, financial services and IT, to mention some of them.
Presence in Gallery

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Routine Proceedings
3 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to mark, with all hon. members, the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
A few hours ago I had the pleasure of attending a special anniversary celebration of the charter, which featured a group of students who were not even born when the charter was proclaimed on April 17, 1982, who have never known a Canada without a charter, who have no memory of the great drama and debate that surrounded its creation. For someone who was very much involved, as I was, that is very hard to believe.
As I reflected on this, I was reminded of some words of the Right Hon. Pierre Elliott Trudeau. In a speech in 1968 he said that law making is a way "to improve the lot of flesh and blood human beings".
For someone who has been celebrated more for his intellect and sophistication than for his common touch, these words showed a very down-to-earth understanding of his role as a legislator. And ours. Everything that we do in this place is about people.
And in the almost 40 years that it has been my privilege to be a member of parliament, I can think of no act or legislation that has better served the interests of the Canadian people than the charter.
The charter is, first and foremost, a profoundly empowering document. It places the fundamental rights of all Canadians above governments. And it gives them the tools to protect their rights against the arbitrary acts of those governments.
The charter is also a profoundly Canadian document. It acknowledges that the freedom and equality of all citizens is the brick and mortar of our society. But it also affords protection to unique aspects of our national identity and story: English and French minority language communities; aboriginal peoples; multicultural communities; and the principle of sharing prosperity and opportunity.
Since being entrenched 20 years ago today, the charter has also become a Canadian trademark in the world. In countries who are moving toward principles of good governance, our experience in formulating the charter has given us much sought after expertise.
The benchmark of the charter as a document for the people is the way that the people of Canada have embraced and made use of it. Without their collective will to take ownership of the charter, to make it their own, it would surely have faded into obscurity.
I am indeed fortunate to have had a role in achieving this landmark in Canadian history. We had, as the member from Winnipeg mentioned earlier in the House, a fabulous debate in the House that lasted for months and months. It was approved by a very big majority of members of parliament including, and he was right, 74 out of 75 members elected by Quebecers to this parliament.
The charter has worked because it is about people. As we celebrate its 20 years and look to the future let us continue, in the words of Pierre Trudeau, "--to put our faith, first and foremost, in the people of Canada who will breathe life into it".
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Vic Toews Provencher, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in recognition of the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Many Canadians can trace their origins to groups of refugees and immigrants who came to this country over the past hundreds of years. Many came to escape religious and political persecution by oppressive authorities, including my own family who came to Canada to escape the injustices of the brutal Soviet regime of the 1920s. These experiences are not easily forgotten by the collective memory of their descendants.
However, even in Canada the descendants of these immigrants and refugees learned through bitter experience that such matters as education and religion were not always guaranteed. Indeed aboriginal Canadians as well know that the government has sometimes hindered their development as equal partners in Canadian society.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has proven to be a powerful check on the power of government to unreasonably intrude on our rights and freedoms. Canadians today give their overwhelming support to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What Canadians from all regions say they like most of all about the charter are the aspects that promote unity, such as the protection of minority rights and the promotion of equality rights.
However, the charter is not a cure all for all the injustices of our society. Canadians have often disagreed with some of the changes the charter has affected in our society as a result of certain court decisions. These include, for example, the case of John Robin Sharpe and the court's conclusion that freedom of expression and artistic merit include the production of material glorifying the violent sexual exploitation of children by adults.
Indeed the charter is not a perfect document. Certain fundamental rights such as property rights are not entrenched in the charter. As a result, under such legislation as the species at risk act the federal government would be able to legally expropriate land and resources from Canadians without full, just and timely compensation.
Since the advent of the charter there is a growing reluctance on the part of politicians to advance legitimate political initiatives or substitute their political opinions for those of the courts.
While the charter of rights does allow parliament to temporarily overrule the decisions of the courts by the use of the notwithstanding clause, the hesitation of politicians to use this clause arises out of a concern that to do so would be seen as a failure to respect the constitution. As a result, politicians are simply accepting judgments that prefer the narrow interest of individuals even where these decisions are contrary to the interest of society as a whole. As parliamentarians we must continue to be watchful that the charter does not become a device that limits the effectiveness of democratic institutions including parliament.
As a nation we need to be mindful of the concern that in protecting our individual rights and freedoms we do not destroy our responsibility to nurture and protect broader societal values. Our ability to live together in a civilized society demands our continued vigilance.
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, for most Quebecers, April 17 is the sad anniversary of the unilateral patriation of the Canadian constitution.
This patriation is the result of Canada's will to build itself based on its own values and its own priorities; Quebecers recognize the right of all nations to build themselves as they wish, while respecting neighbouring nations. This approach is the basis for harmonious and constructive relations between nations.
Unfortunately, since 1982, Canada has been carrying out its nation building while disregarding the hopes of the Quebec nation.
Since 1982, no Quebec government, regardless of political stripe, has agreed to sign this constitution that was imposed on Quebec. This situation will not change. Quebec will not sign the 1982 constitution; no Quebec government will ever deny the existence of the Quebec nation.
Like Canadians, Quebecers want to build their nation as they wish. On numerous occasions, they have tried to do this within the Canadian federation, but without success.
In fact, far from benefiting from it, Quebec has had to cope with policies designed to create a strong central government. Quebec stands nothing to gain from this, because it is not a province like the others, it is a nation that wants it own tools for development, like any other nation.
Quebec's historic refusal to sign the 1982 constitution reflects the bad feelings that the unilateral patriation of the constitution still stirs up today.
As a result of these bad feelings, the federal government has deliberately chosen to emphasize the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Of course the existence of a charter of rights is important in a democratic society. It is so important that Quebec passed a Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms back in 1975, well before Ottawa, seven years ahead of the federal government.
But beyond the charter, the consequences of the unilateral patriation of the constitution are still being felt today, as Canada builds itself at an ever faster pace.
With a legal framework that makes it virtually impossible to make constitutional changes that would give more powers to Quebec, the Canadian nation has, in recent years, disregarded Quebec consensus on political and social issues on numerous occasions.
This legal framework is supported by a philosophy that determines the political direction taken by this government. This has created intense dissatisfaction among Quebecers.
Let us mention, for example, the issue of young offenders. While Canadians want a punitive approach, Quebecers prefer a preventive approach. With millennium scholarships, Canadians wish to favour the elite, while Quebecers are more interested in accessibility. As for parental leave, Quebec would like to offer such leave to all young parents, because it recognizes that the work reality has changed for young people.
Similarly, Quebec, which wants to manage its social programs based on its own needs, did not want a social union that advocates the establishment of Canada-wide standards.
Because it is going increasingly further in its desire to give itself the tools to implement its policies, the federal government now has much greater financial leverage to support its vision of Canada's development, this thanks to the fiscal imbalance.
All these Canadian nation building policies do not take into account Quebec's aspirations and they isolate it. This situation does not benefit anyone, because Quebec's isolation has constantly undermined both the Quebec and Canadian societies.
Twenty years after the unilateral patriation of the Canadian constitution, it has become obvious that Quebec's aspirations can no longer be fulfilled within Canada. Everyone can see that attempts to correct the situation, including the Meech Lake accord, have failed.
Finally, regardless of what the Prime Minister may say, history shows that the presence of a federalist or sovereignist government in Quebec City does not change anything about the fact that Quebecers are no longer considered as a founding nation by Canada. Rather, they are seen as belonging to a province like any other, a province that can be ignored, if necessary.
Today, the government proposes to mark the 20th anniversary of the charter of rights. I propose that we also mark the 20th anniversary of the unilateral patriation of the Canadian constitution.
We must do so, because Quebecers still remember April 17, 1982, as the time in history when Canadians chose to give themselves a country that resembles them. Canadians have the right to do so. I hope, and I am working to that end with my Bloc Quebecois colleagues, that some day Quebecers will be able to do the same.
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, today we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The charter, added to our constitution when the British North America Act was patriated from Britain in 1982, is an essential tool for the protection of the individual against an unjust government and the protection of minorities against an unjust majority.
Throughout this period of reflection around the 20th anniversary of the charter, much will be said about former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and rightly so. But as Trudeau himself was not unwilling to acknowledge, one of his formative influences was Frank Scott, McGill University law professor, poet, social activist and one of the founding members of the CCF, the predecessor party to the NDP. Frank Scott fought throughout his academic and political career for the rights of individuals and minorities and was a strong advocate for a charter of rights.
Indeed a constitutional charter of rights was a continuing demand of the CCF and the NDP in the decades leading up to the adoption of the charter. A charter entrenched in the constitution was correctly seen to be a huge qualitative advance over the largely symbolic bill of rights adopted by parliament under Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, although credit is due to Mr. Diefenbaker for helping the idea along.
As one who was in parliament 20 years ago and who was privy to much of the dialogue between my party, the NDP, and the Liberal government of the day as the charter proceeded from draft to reality, I want to give credit to my leader at that time, Ed Broadbent, and to the NDP caucus of that parliament.
As you may recall, Mr. Speaker, and as the Prime Minister may recall, the political fact of the matter was that Prime Minister Trudeau wanted NDP support and was prepared to make changes in his constitutional proposals to get that support and to keep it. As I remember it, the NDP among other things wanted changes to the charter, including stronger language with respect to the equality of women and a recognition of aboriginal rights. Both of these were achieved, although the language on aboriginal rights was watered down during the final negotiations with the premiers.
Of course the charter itself was changed at the last moment with the adoption of the notwithstanding clause. Debate continues to this day about that clause, whether it is an unacceptable violation of the charter ideal or an appropriate parliamentary check on judicial power.
In any event, the charter is with us and the supreme court has delivered an interesting variety of judgments based on it. Canadians it seems are attached to the charter, even though they may not like some of the rulings based on it. They see it for what it was intended to be: a friend of the powerless, of minority rights, of equality, of the rule of law, of democracy, of mobility rights and of fundamental freedoms.
People who worry about the erosion of parliament's power by the courts would be better off protecting the democratic power of parliament from the undemocratic nature of various trade agreements. At least the supreme court is a Canadian institution interpreting Canadian law.
The 20th anniversary of the charter is certainly worth celebrating and the NDP joins with others in doing so. We also look forward to the day when we will have something like a charter of social, economic and environmental responsibilities for the guidance of business, government and citizens, so that not only rights and freedoms might prevail, but also social justice and sustainability.
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Joe Clark Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, let me begin by acknowledging the central role of the current Prime Minister in achieving the adoption of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is fair to say that no other minister, including the late Mr. Trudeau, played a more vigorous role.
It is appropriate that the Prime Minister, in turn, has acknowledged the impact of parliament on the charter—not just in the extensive hearings and debate, which he mentioned, but in forcing upon the government amendments respecting the equality of men and women, and aboriginal rights.
The manner in which the patriation and other constitutional changes, including the charter, were achieved, was profoundly divisive. Je me souviens.
The supreme court found that the government broke the constitutional conventions of the country. The imposition of those changes fuelled the sentiment of independence in Quebec. That, too, is part of the legacy of April 17.
The charter was a landmark in our law. For many Canadians it is part of the definition of our country.
It is important to remember that the principles of the charter run much deeper than the law passed in 1982. However imperfectly we have achieved the goal, Canada is a society that has always aimed to respect both the rights of individuals and the reality of our communities. They are unquestionably part of the promise and the aspiration that drew people here from around the world in search of freedom and respect.
The charter reflects that tradition, as did Mr. Diefenbaker's bill of rights before it. The test for us today is to step beyond celebrating anniversaries and ensure that respect for the defining values of Canadian democracy is reflected in our actions.
We should address the tension between the role of parliament in passing laws and the role of the courts in interpreting the charter. The most recent instance is the Sharpe decision in British Columbia.
One way to do that, as we have proposed, is to require parliament, before it passes legislation, to receive independent legal advice on the impact of the charter on that legislation.
Another reform would be to provide that, if a law is struck down by the courts, it should be referred immediately to a parliamentary committee that would recommend what action, if any, parliament should take.
The most significant change in a time when unquestionably the power of the courts is increasing would be to also increase the power of parliament to act independently of the government and to hold the government accountable here in this place.
The rights guaranteed by the charter itself could also be extended to protect the right to privacy and to protect the right to property. These are issues that fell by the wayside in 1982. Parliament should consider them unfinished business.
These would not be easy changes, but neither was it easy to introduce the charter or to amend and improve it 20 years ago. Governments can initiate as well as celebrate. The best way to commemorate the rights and freedoms of Canadians would be to extend them.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the third report of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Pursuant to its order of reference dated Monday, February 18, 2002, your committee has considered Bill S-22, an act to provide for the recognition of the Canadian horse as the national horse of Canada, and agreed on Wednesday, April 10, 2002 to report it without amendment.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is probably appropriate on this 20th anniversary of the charter of rights and freedoms to seek unanimous consent to make Bill C-391 votable, which the Speaker will remember would amend the oath of citizenship to reflect the principles of the charter.
If I may, Mr. Speaker, I would like to just read what the new oath would say so that the members can--

I just had to put down a slice of my sausage, rum soaked cranberry, and honey pie because it was too hot to eat. Believe me, the sauage was fully cooked despite being put on the pie raw.
... Using raw pork on top of a pizza would also violate widely held best-practices of many culinary schools, as well....
What is your real feeling on the matter?
I was worried too; I looked hard at the pork. It was cooked.
I know I could maintain safe food handling parameters with raw pork on the make table. I'm not as confident I could hire an 18 year old to do the same when I decided to take a day off. Raw pork residue could end up where it shouldn't, kids don't tend to watch things as closely.
Only you can make this call.
I don't think this video was referenced on this forum before but it does show the pizza maker putting raw sausage on a pizza at Grimaldi's: .Peter
I hear that the "new" pork safe temp is 145. Is that correct?
scott r,I don't think this video was referenced on this forum before but it does show the pizza maker putting raw sausage on a pizza at Grimaldi's: .Peter
And then his unwashed hands go right into a container of grated cheese and who knows where else. And that's the problem in a commercial setting.
Ignoring the "who knows where else" part, is that really a problem? He isn't making any ready-to-eat food nor is the cheese or anything else up there going to be served without being cooked. I don't see the concern?
Is it really a problem? No, IF the cheese from that tub is only used on something cooked and the guy washes up before touching anything else. The guy just wipes his hand on his apron or a towel after handling ground raw pork. Not good. Don't ask for fresh basil! In my mind, the "who knows what else" is pretty important.Look, I use raw sausage. I'd trust you with handling raw ground meats. Some places, not so much........

A savepoint is established during the transaction so that database changes made by the transaction are rolled back to the specified savepoint. Such operation is called a partial rollback. In a partial rollback, database operations (insert, update, delete, etc.) after the savepoint are rolled back, and transaction operations before it are not rolled back. The transaction can proceed with other operations after the partial rollback is executed. Or the transaction can be terminated with the COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK statement. Note that the savepoint does not commit the changes made by the transaction.
A savepoint can be created at a certain point of the transaction, and multiple savepoints can be used for a certain point. If a partial rollback is executed to a savepoint before the specified savepoint or the transaction is terminated with the COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK statement, the specified savepoint is removed. The partial rollback after the specified savepoint can be performed multiple times.
Savepoints are useful because intermediate steps can be created and named to control long and complicated utilities. For example, if you use a savepoint during the update operation, you don't need to perform all statements again when you made a mistake.
SAVEPOINT mark;
_ a SQL identifier
_ a host variable (starting with :)
If you make mark all the same value when you specify multiple savepoints in a single transaction, only the latest savepoint appears in the partial rollback. The previous savepoints remain hidden until the rollback to the latest savepoint is performed and then appears when the latest savepoint disappears after being used.
ROLLBACK [ WORK ] [ TO [ SAVEPOINT ] mark ] [ ; ]
_ a SQL identifier
_ a host variable (starting with :)
Previously, the ROLLBACK WORK statement canceled all database changes added since the latest transaction. The ROLLBACK WORK statement is also used for the partial rollback that rolls back the transaction changes after the specified savepoint.
If mark value is not given, the transaction terminates canceling all changes including all savepoints created in the transaction. If mark value is given, changes after the specified savepoint are canceled and the ones before it are remained.
The following example shows how to roll back part of the transaction.
First, set savepoints SP1 and SP2.
CREATE TABLE athlete2 (name VARCHAR(40), gender CHAR(1), nation_code CHAR(3), event VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO athlete2(name, gender, nation_code, event)
VALUES ('Lim Kye-Sook', 'W', 'KOR', 'Hockey');
SELECT * from athlete2;
INSERT INTO athlete2(name, gender, nation_code, event)
VALUES ('Lim Jin-Suk', 'M', 'KOR', 'Handball');
SELECT * FROM athlete2;
RENAME TABLE athlete2 AS sportsman;
SELECT * FROM sportsman;
In the example above, the name change of the athlete2 table is rolled back by the partial rollback. The following example shows how to execute the query with the original name and examining the result.
SELECT * FROM athlete2;
DELETE FROM athlete2 WHERE name = 'Lim Jin-Suk';
SELECT * FROM athlete2;
In the example above, deleting 'Lim Jin-Suk' is discarded by rollback work to SP2 command.
The following example shows how to roll back to SP1.
SELECT * FROM athlete2;
SELECT * FROM athlete2;

Mobile Brief – October 11, 2011
The iPhone 4S. When announced a long deep reverberating sigh was released by disappointed Apple fans across the web. After all it only seems to offer a better camera, voice control functionality that you probably won't use much, and pick up in battery life. Big woop right? Hold the Phone! The iPhone 4S may not be as big a disappoint as some of you disgruntled fans might think. As we now know, that "S" stands for Speed and it seems that Apple has delivered on that promise. Benchmark tests done by bloggers, have shown that the only mobile device that the iPhone 4S loses to in speed is the Ipad 2, and trust me that's saying something.
What's next for Google's Android handsets? Ice Cream Sandwich! No, not the delicious frozen treat my friends but the newly designed phone OS Google is hoping will bring the wonder of an android tablet to your mobile phone. Screens of its digital creamy goodness have been leaked to TC and according to them , the Vanilla inspired OS is "tron-tastic." The proof is in the pudding (so to speak).
With the release of the refreshing WP7 and screens of a promising new take on the desktop/tablet OS (Windows 8), Microsoft has been taking steady strides in remaining competitive within the tech industry. So this next step should come as no surprise, Microsoft has taken big strides in its plans to enter the daily deals market. Partnering with the "white-label group buying platform service provider" Tippr, Microsoft is apparently testing the service right now as the next addition to its Bing decision engine.

Wow!!! Fantastic pic's Norma! Any more info on those fullsheet bakery pizzas?
Amazing write up and pics Norma! Sounds like you had a great day.
Where's my buddy The Naked Cowboy?
He is running for the President...I'm not joking.lol
Thanks for the pictures and recap Norma.....some good snaps in there as well. Always love seeing pics of NYC and hearing more stories....they never get old.FYI, next time you are going to Queens, more often than not taking the Holland or Lincoln and cutting across the city are not your best bet.Taking either the Outer Bridge Crossing (from NJ) to the Verrazano Brigde or using the Goethels Bridge (from NJ) to get to the Verrazano Bridge and then using the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) is often the faster option. If you must get to Queens via cutting across Manhattan, the Queens-Midtown Tunnel can be a good bet.Don't know if you utilize them, but on the AM dial of the radio you should pre-set both 880 and 1010 into your AM dial. 880 does traffic on the eights and 1010 on the tens of every minute. By exit 9 or 10 on the NJ turnpike, I religiously work these stations back and forth. Traffic into NYC can change at a moments notice, and these two stations have saved me from more than one backup due to an accident.Sounds like a great day. Thanks again for sharing! --K
Norma, great pictures. The photo of Carnegie hall brought back great memories for me, my wife and I stayed right across the road in May 2005 @ the Salisbury hotel for our honeymoon.The first time we went to NY was Christmas 2003, NY is a magical place at Christmas. Paul
Thank you Norma, I feel like I visited the city myself.

Hello. I sold my old farm back in 2011 and finally found the perfect property I was looking for in NE Ohio, Ashtabula County this spring. The property is located in the waterfowl-rich triangle of Lake Erie, Pymatuning Lake and Mosquito Creek Reservoir. I have plenty of experience with food plots and habitat management for deer & turkey but the waterfowl management knowledge is a work in progress.
This property is basically flat, with a few potholes (probably seasonal) that I have seen being used by ducks in the short time I've owned it. I have 5 acres set aside for this project and I plan to add a dugout pond and some type of levee system to allow crops to be planted and flooded. I'm handy with excavators and tractors and will be doing most of the work myself with the help of some family and friends.
The 5 acres is a blank canvas. I chose this area because it is in the remote north end of my property away from roads and the future cabin plus the 5 acres was heavily timbered a few years ago which will make it easier to maneuver machinery around. I'd be interested in hearing your ideas for layout, funding, etc. as well as any books or videos you can recommend that I can learn from. I am no millionaire but I am fortunate to have a small monthly budget to dedicate to the project. I am in no hurry either as I have more time than money. I would appreciate your input.

I spend a lot of time in fields near to you, and from what I have seen the birds are attracted to areas that have both water and short grass nearby. Most of the bodies of water are about a square acre, with the grass surrounding it so that the birds have a place to go to for food. As for the crops, I have seen most success with them some distance away, so that the birds have somewhere to fly to if threatened. Perhaps corn on the other side of your property. Hope this helps

About the Author: Joshua Buxton serves as Vice Consul at the U.S. Consulate General in Monterrey, Mexico.
The morning of August 30, 2009, found a group of over 200 excited volunteers gathered in a valley among the mountains of Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Equipped with picks, shovels and 3,000 pine saplings, these volunteers came together to reforest an area that had been badly burned by a raging fire in March of the previous year.
The event was the fulfillment of the promise of Mexico's first ever green race, the Inaugural EUA-Mexico 10K, which took place on July 5, 2009, in Parque Fundidora in Monterrey. The race was organized by the U.S. Consulate General in Monterrey in cooperation with Pronatura Noreste A.C., a Mexican nongovernmental, nonprofit, scientific and educational organization dedicated to nature conservation. The race event generated tremendous enthusiasm in the community, and the participant registration space completely sold out with 1,500 runners.
One of the event's numerous gold sponsors, the U.S. bank GMAC, generously pledged to donate two trees on behalf of every runner. The Comisión Nacional Forestal, Mexico's government forest organization, was so impressed by the project that they donated an additional 3,000 trees, bringing the total to 6,000. The additional 3,000 trees are to be planted in the reforestation site's more difficult-to-access areas during the first week of September 2009. The reforestation site was located by Pronatura, working with the Comisión Nacional Forestal and the Cumbres National Park. They found a local landowner desiring to reforest his damaged land. Pronatura worked with the landowner and Cumbres National Park to obtain the required guarantees to ensure the trees would be protected for years and years to come.
The day before the reforestation event, Pronatura's forestry experts arranged for an in-depth training workshop for the 20 team leads responsible for providing the requisite guidance for the more than 200 volunteers. The 20 teams, all named after animals (Crocodiles, Sharks, Rabbits), assembled on the morning of the event to listen to welcoming remarks from the U.S. Consul General, the head of Sustainable Development Projects for GMAC and the executive director for Pronatura Noreste. Then the volunteers enthusiastically got to work digging and planting. Numerous volunteers came along with their children, making the day a festive family event.
This has been the driest summer the area has experienced since 1982, and event organizers glanced optimistically at the overcast skies in the hopes that the young trees would soon receive nourishing rain. One hour into the reforestation effort, the skies opened, unleashing their first heavy rains of the season, much to the delight of the volunteers and organizers. No one will know for quite some time what the actual tree survival rate will be. But, at the time of this posting, the trees are adjusting to their new home, enjoying the rain that has been falling since their installation in the Santiago mountains.
The race and reforestation events have generated a great deal of enthusiasm in the community. Plans to repeat the race again next year are already in the works, and event organizers are looking forward to carrying the momentum of the reforestation project into future green events. The Consulate remains extremely grateful to Pronatura, along with all of the sponsors and volunteers that made both the July 5th race and the August 30th reforestation a reality.

You've seen the movie, you've probably even read one of the hundreds of books written about the ill-fated luxury liner. It is a ship that defines the folly of human hubris. The RMS Titanic. The name alone conjures awe and fear, retrospect and trepidation.
At the time of its christening, the Titanic was the largest ship ever built. It was also one of maritime history's most poignant tragedies. More than a century after it struck that infamous iceberg on April 15, 1912, dooming it and more than 1,500 lives to the depths of the frigid North Atlantic, the Titanic has yet to drift from public consciousness, inciting the imagination as well as deep-ocean exploration. Perhaps because it sunk on it's maiden voyage — despite having been advertised as unsinkable — or because of some of the names aboard (Guggenheims, Astors and Wideners), the tragedy gave the world pause, a reflection on the course of modern technology and the increasingly industrialized world, which quickly, and inevitably, led to the First World War.
Rendering of the RMS Titanic as Dr. Ballard examines the bow section in the submersible DSV Alvin.
The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium aims to dive into the history of the ship and its fate with Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. On display in SFSCA's traveling exhibit hall from November 16, 2013 to April 20, 2014, the exhibit, sponsored by the Quantum Foundation, retells the fascinating story of the doomed luxury liner, from construction to destruction, its subsequent discovery by Dr. Robert Ballard and artifact recovery by RMS Titanic, Inc., while giving visitors a glimpse of what it was like to be a passenger on the once grand ship.
Upon entry, each visitor is handed a replica-boarding pass, a memento of the past that will come in handy at the end of the exhibit. First it is on to construction, which took more than 10,000 men nearly three years to complete in Belfast, Ireland. Then on to life aboard the ship, with a replica of First Class accommodations, which cost a staggering $4,500 ($90,000 today when adjusted for inflation), as well as a replica of the Third Class quarters, which cost $40 ($900 in today's money). Also on display are nearly 100 artifacts recovered from the wreckage of the Titanic that were strewn across the Atlantic seabed in a debris field spanning nearly 2,000 feet between the ship's hull sections. On display at SFSCA are some of the day-to-day items that were aboard the ship, including a perfumer's samples, china etched with the logo of the White Star Line (the shipping company behind the Titanic), and personal effects like a cigar holder, toothpaste jar and calling cards. These items help tell the interrupted stories of the 1,523 who perished and the 705 who survived that fateful night, bringing a human element to a moment that has mostly been relegated to history and lore.
|A child examines his Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition boarding pass. A replica of actual boarding passes from the ship's maiden voyage, guests can visit the Memorial Gallery to discover if their boarding pass belonged to one of the lucky 705 survivors or one of the 1,523 who perished.
Also part of the tour, an "iceberg" for visitors to touch and a Memorial Gallery, where ticket holders use their boarding passes to see whether their passenger and travelling companions survived the harrowing night or perished in the icy waters.
But behind this story lies another of discovery and technological achievement that, ironically, stems from the industrial might that berthed ships like this Olympic class liner. The search for the wreckage of the Titanic began in earnest when Jack Grimm, an eccentric oilman from Texas who was almost as famous for his search for Sasquatch and Noah's Ark, threw his wealth behind the quest in 1981. His three expeditions came up empty-handed. But, in 1985, Kansas-born oceanographer, Dr. Robert Ballard (right) struck pay dirt, discovering the bow and stern of the ship, hull snapped in two, and debris strewn between the two on the seabed 13,000 feet below the surface. Aboard the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute research vessel Knorr and using the logbook of the SS California, a ship infamous for its lack of aid during the sinking of the Titanic, Ballard surmised the wreckage site was at least 10 miles from where previously believed (turned out to be 13.2 miles). Using an innovative system of submersible robots, a boiler was spotted at 12:48 a.m. on September 1, 1985. The following day, as the submersible Argo illuminated the seabed with artificial light, the main hull sections filled the video screens aboard the Kroll close to 2 a.m., eerily close to the time the Titanic sunk at 2:20 a.m.
"While scientific important discoveries are made every day," said Lew Crampton, CEO and President of SFSCA, "there are few as stirring and dramatic as those researched and recovered from Titanic."
The bow of the RMS Titanic as it sits 12,500 below the surface. Covered in "rusticles," stalactite structures formed by a bacteria that feeds on iron, the famed shipwreck is slowly degrading due to pressure the equivalent of 380 atmospheres, salt and acid, and salvation and deep-sea tourism.
A notion seconded by oceanic explored, Robert Ballard, whom I spoke with in 2012 about his deep-sea adventures: "There is more history in the deep seas then all the museums of the world. People think that it is just a dark place and nothing is going on, but nothing could be further from the truth."
Following the discovery, RMS Titanic, Inc. led eight research and recovery expeditions between 1987 and 2010, recovering some 5,500 artifacts from the wreckage. This recovery is something Ballard vehemently opposes, likening the shipwreck to a gravesite or historic battlefield like Gettysburg. The efforts have, in fact, accelerated the Titanic's destruction in some places. Controversy continues to roil about the ethics of removing artifacts from the site, with some saying it is little more than grave robbing. Wherever you may stand in the protection vs. conservation vs. salvage fight, the artifacts reclaimed and preserved in the exhibition are an invaluable asset in completing the story of one of maritime history's most infamous maiden voyages.
- Experience part of the history when Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition comes to SFSCA from November 16 to April 20, 2014.
- Admission to SFSCA is $15 for adults (free for members), $11.50 for kids.

Reviews of this property
The apartment in Old Town was great. It has all what you need (air conditoned, a big bed, two TVs, a living room which is also a bedroom, small kitchen, ...). The badroom is very big and has many details like in a hotel. Everything was very clean.
The situation of the apartment is wonderful, you are near of all.
Concerning the owner, she was very helpful. She was wainting for us and she explained everything about the city, places to visit and activities to do. She has a lot of information. She was always asking us if we need something.
A really nice experience and if I come back I will stay there again.
Thank you very much for your good rating! The apartment was very comfortable, clean and really nice. The location of the flat is perfectly suited in the heart of the oldtown. We all had a wunderful time in Dubrovnik!
The only disadvantage is the fact that there is no free car parking. We bought daily tickets against payment
best regards, Helen!!
Die wohnung war alles super.
Die Vermieterin war super nett und freundlich.
Location and Facility was very good.
And it was very clean!! Spotless :)).
I was very satified with the apartment.
If I visit to Dubrovnik again, I would stay there.
El apartamento está en en pleno centro, la localización es inmejorable. Es una de las callejuelas que salen de la calle principal y no hay que subir escaleras para entrar al portal. Junto al portal hay restaurantes y bares y un supermercado. Una vez dentro, nuestro apartamento estaba en el segundo piso por lo que teníamos dos tramos de escaleras. Era amplio y cómodo y estaba muy limpio. En las fotos parecía más oscuro y pequeño pero nos llevamos una grata sorpresa al ver que era muy soleado y estaba muy bien cuidado. Tenía aire acondicionado, lo cual es imprescindible en agosto. Al llegar nos recibió la madre de Eta y fue muy amable. No tuvimos ningún problema y nuestra estancia en Dubrovnik fue muy agradable. Repetiría seguro, lo recomiendo 100%.
Muchas gracias por todo!!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Perfect room:
- very VERY clean.
- the airco was one of the best we had during our trip.
- Shower always hot water
- we have read before booking the room that the Wifi is not so good. But they improved that and also the Wifi was really good.
The location of the room is of course sublime, in the middle of the old town. Try the sandwiches place at the corner of the small street with the home made bread. Very good!
We highly recommend this accommodation!
Wanda & Rudy
This is a great place to stay in Dubrovnik in the old town and close to everything. The room was very large and comfortable with the best bed I had in Croatia. Eta and her mum were great hosts.

Wonderful apartment in the heart of the old town. Clean and spacious and the hosts there were very friendly and helpful! We would definitely go back!! :)

Although mitral valve prolapse is usually a lifelong disorder, many people with this condition never have symptoms. When diagnosed, people may be surprised to learn that they have a heart condition.
When signs and symptoms do occur, it may be because blood is leaking backward through the valve (regurgitation). Mitral valve prolapse symptoms can vary widely from one person to another. They tend to be mild and develop gradually. Symptoms may include:
If you think you have any of the above symptoms, make an appointment with your doctor.
Many other conditions cause the same symptoms as mitral valve prolapse, so only a visit to your doctor can determine the cause of your symptoms. If you're having chest pain and you're unsure if it could be a heart attack, seek emergency medical care immediately.
If you've already been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse, see your doctor if your symptoms worsen.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (435 votes).
In short: The new track is excellent compared to last year, well done!!In full: But it is not necessary to put a couple of water stations in the bottom of up hills on this undulating track and the water station after finish was a disaster, it took 15 minutes before I got any water.Date of review: July 11, 2008
In short: Would be great if it started at 8am as by 10am it was too hot!Date of review: June 15, 2008
In short: Swishing from side to side !In full: This was my very first St.Albans Half, so I'm not in a position to compare it with earlier years. Although the course was apparently altered at the last-minute, and didn't include a stretch through the centre of this historic town, the predominantly rural setting with the pack running along tight country lanes with the occasional muddy dub was exquisite. My only concern on the day was my hayfever, which thankfully didn't flare up. The Start/Finish were easy enough to get to from St.Albans BR and the short walk to the event was a decent warm-up. Although it was obvious that those coming by car were in for a wait getting away afterwards, this had been intimated in the publicity for the event. To be honest what other gripes there were, especially regarding confusion returning chips and the dearth of water at the finish, were more to do with the slightly inadequate cordoning off of finishers. In fact water was provided at the end; the problem was people had to go looking for it, and like other general difficulties was exacerbated as much by runners bunching up in a few places. At only 5'5" or thereabouts I had the added problem of being wrapped within a taller group. The run itself felt more hilly than anything else, but the climbs were broken up by the plateaus. The relief came from the good shading along the scenic route with old trees rearing up and over sometimes densely crowded lanes. The final downhill mile also emboldened most - me included. Despite not training properly I was carried along by the majestic sight of a bloody gorgeous & pert blonde bird. Although I had to press on close to the end, for most of the race I found myself slightly behind her with no one else in between, passing her repeatedly after taking breathers to down some fluid I was carrying. Unquestionably the defining feature of this event: a lovely sunshiny day that'll bring a smile to any lad's face. Date of review: June 12, 2008
In short: Good race, start and finish organisation need a bit of work.Date of review: June 12, 2008
In short: If only it hadn't been such a hot day it would have been a great run!Date of review: June 12, 2008
In short: Too hot, why change the route again and worse organisation than prior yearsIn full: 1) Why did they change the course? I downloaded the map 2 weeks before and it showed the 2007 course, which was fine. How many times can they change it - every year? Annoyed me as I ran the course before the event. 2) I was told by one of the gazillion marshals that there was water at the bottom of the hill. I got to the bottom of the hill and was REFUSED water as i was going the "wrong way". On a very hot day how to annoy a runner is to tell him he can't have water.This was once one of my top runs, going down the list fast.Date of review: June 11, 2008
In short: I thoroughly enjoyed the route and there was such a good atmosphere, although finish was a bit hectic collecting goodies. Lots of water stations and marshals were awesome! Date of review: June 11, 2008
In short: Enjoyed the route but not the heat!In full: This was my first time running St Albans 1/2 so have now views on the change of route. I did enjoy this route but the problem for me was the heat as I Just can't run any sort of pace in hot weather... all obviously out of anyones control. Lots of water stations and well marshalled all round. The end was a disaster, I queued for at least 20mins, I thought it was or getting chips collected but it was for the t-shirt and medal. I'm sure the organisers will re-think that for next year.Date of review: June 10, 2008
In short: More hilly than undulating but a scenic exploration of the environs of St Albans. Not much time for chatting as there is another climb on the horizon. Great organisation and a great day outDate of review: June 10, 2008
In short: Excellent course and marshalling - except for the end!In full: Lovely course - not too hilly, not too flat. Don't agree that it had no atmosphere - the marshalls and supporters en route made it for me. Agree with all above about lack of organisation at the end though - maybe take a leaf out of the St A Race for Life organisers' book for managing the end of the run. overall though - great. Thanks to all.Date of review: June 10, 2008

Toshiba Corp. and Fujitsu Limited on Tuesday announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the transfer of Fujitsu's hard disk drive (HDD) business to Toshiba. The companies plan to conclude a transfer contract at an early date, and aim to complete the transaction in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Under the MOU, Fujitsu will transfer to Toshiba its HDD design, development, manufacturing, sales, and all other functions currently carried out by Fujitsu and Fujitsu Group companies, with the exception of Fujitsu's HDD head and media businesses.
Fujitsu will facilitate the transfer by bringing its HDD-related businesses and functions together in a new company. Toshiba will acquire about an 80% stake in this company and make it a Toshiba Group subsidiary. In order to promote a smooth transfer, Fujitsu will continue to hold a stake of under 20% in the new company for a certain period of time, after which it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The consolidation of the two companies' HDD businesses will enable Toshiba to reinforce its already strong position as a leading vendor of small form-factor HDDs (2.5" and smaller HDDs) and will also give Toshiba entry into the enterprise HDD market for server and data storage system applications. Toshiba aims to build its position in the enterprise market to meet expected growth in demand for data storage systems.
Going forward, Toshiba aims to build on the consolidation to raise its share in the overall HDD market to over 20% by 2015. Toshiba's HDD market share in 2008 was 8.7%, meanwhile, Fujitsu's unprofitable hard drive business unit shipped 7.3% of HDDs; which means that with the acquisition Toshiba will control shipments of 15% - 16% hard disks worldwide, just a couple percents less compared to Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.
"The acquisition will help Toshiba secure the market share necessary to survive continuing consolidation in the crowded disk-drive market," said Yuichi Ishida, an analyst at Mizuho Investors Securities, reports Bloomberg news-agency.
Entry into the enterprise business will allow Toshiba to further enlarge its solid state drive (SSD) business by developing SSD products for servers and enterprise storage systems, fusing Toshiba's NAND flash memory technology with Fujitsu's enterprise HDD technology. This move is expected to spur expansion of the rapidly expanding SSD market.
By taking advantage of the integration of Fujitsu's HDD businesses, Toshiba also aims to strengthen collaboration with HDD parts suppliers and to promote cost reductions and the development of new technologies.

Allison, Dorothy
Dorothy Allison 1949-
(Full name Dorothy E. Allison) American novelist, essayist, poet, memoirist, and short story writer.
The following entry presents an overview of Allison's career through 2000. For further information on her life and works, see CLC, Volume 78.
Allison is a highly regarded feminist writer who has garnered a large amount of mainstream recognition. An incest survivor and self-labeled "lesbian-feminist,"Allison heavily incorporates events from her life into her work. Best known for her partially autobiographical novel Bastard Out of Carolina (1992), Allison's work has earned widespread praise for its realism, objectiveness, vivid and multi-faceted characterizations, and laconic prose.
Biographical Information
Allison was born on April 11, 1949, in Greenville, South Carolina, to Ruth Gibson Allison, a fifteen-year-old unwed waitress. Allison's father disappeared before she was born. Four years later, her mother remarried and when Allison was six, her stepfather began to physically and sexually abuse her. The abuse lasted for several years before Allison was able to tell a relative about her situation. The relative informed Allison's mother, who stopped the abuse, but chose not to separate the family from the stepfather. Allison was the first person in her family to receive a high school diploma, and in 1968, she earned a National Merit Scholarship. She left home to attend Florida Presbyterian College (now Eckerd College) in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she received her B.A. in 1971. She became active in the feminist movement and edited and wrote for publications that championed gay rights and women's rights. Allison moved into a lesbian collective in Washington, D.C., but found her views conflicted with those of other lesbians, so in 1974, she moved to New York. While there, she received her M.A. in anthropology from the New School for Social Research. Allison's first two publications, The Women Who Hate Me (1983), a book of poetry, and Trash (1988), a short-story collection, were highly praised—Trash earned two Lambda Literary Awards—but did not receive widespread attention. In 1992, Allison published her first novel, Bastard Out of Carolina, and achieved, almost overnight, a large degree of critical success. Bastard Out of Carolina was a National Book Award finalist and was adapted into a television movie in 1996. Allison divides her time between writing and teaching, and has taught at many universities, including Florida State University, Wesleyan, Rutgers, and the San Francisco Art Institute. She resides near San Francisco with her partner, Alix Layman, and their son, Wolf Michael.
Major Works
In The Women Who Hate Me and Trash, Allison recounted the shame and fear she experienced while growing up as a sexually abused child. The narrative voices in these two works describe attempts to escape painful childhood memories. The incest, abuse, and poverty that Allison suffered as a youngster figure heavily in her novel Bastard Out of Carolina as well, a fictionalized portrayal of a young girl's life in a poor Southern family. The protagonist, Bone, lives happily, surrounded by a family of strong women, until her mother decides to marry. After the marriage, Daddy Glen, Bone's new stepfather, begins to sexually molest her. Bone endures years of abuse before her mother becomes aware of the molestations, but, moved by Daddy Glen's pleas for forgiveness, Bone's mother chooses to stay with Daddy Glen rather than leave him for Bone's well-being. The book concludes with thirteen-year-old Bone abandoned by her mother, trying to reconcile her past and attempting to start a new life. In 1993, Allison's writing style changed with Skin: Talking about Sex, Class, & Literature (1993). Skin is a collection of essays that details her sexual tastes and fetishes and condemn the "acceptable" practice of ridiculing working-class Southerners. The work also explains unapologetically to the heterosexual mainstream and the lesbian communities Allison's feelings and reasons for the content of her works. Allison returned to her blend of autobiography and storytelling in Two or Three Things I Know for Sure (1995). Written originally as a performance piece, this work is an embellished memoir in which Allison recounts not only the pain of growing up poor, abused, and with low self-esteem, but also the bonding she experienced with various friends and members of her family. Her writing became even more forgiving and hopeful in her second novel, Cavedweller (1998). In this novel, protagonist Delia abandons her two daughters while running away from her abusive husband. After being absent from their lives for several years, and despite her realization that she will face ridicule from the community and derision from her daughters, Delia returns to her hometown to claim the two girls. This decision stands in stark contrast to Bone's mother's actions in Bastard Out of Carolina. Delia chooses her daughters' welfare over her own, and while her return is a painful and traumatic experience for all three characters, Delia is determined to make the new relationship work.
Critical Reception
Critical response to Allison's The Women Who Hate Me, Trash, and Skin was highly favorable in feminist and lesbian literary circles. Mainstream critics, although mostly positive, often appeared to be shocked and flustered with the vivid description of Allison's sexual preferences in these works. Both mainstream and feminist reviewers have lauded Bastard Out of Carolina for its realistic characterizations and sensitive depiction of incest and family violence. K. K. Roeder writes "… Bastard's success is its emotional precision and irrepressible lyricism, forcefully combined. Allison relates the difficulty of Bone's struggles with intensity, humor, and hard-wrought rejection of self-pity, rendering Bastard a rare achievement among works of fiction dealing with abused children." While some reviewers felt that Cavedweller became repetitive and clichéd at certain points, many viewed the work as an accurate portrait of poor, rural, Southern life and a touching account of a family in difficult circumstances. Elizabeth A. Brown writes, "Allison's characters from the poor white South are fully drawn, fully human, because the author grew up with them. There are no saints or stereotypes in her writing. Her dialogue is real—terse and Southern." Overall, reviewers have found that Allison's merging of fiction with autobiography adds depth to her powerful tales of self-examination, survival, and the inherent strength of women.

[In the following review, Harris offers a positive assessment of Bastard Out of Carolina, noting the novel's vivid descriptions and skillful use of vernacular.]
Bastard Out of Carolina is a novel wrung from the heart. Here in Greenville County, South Carolina, members of the extended Boatwright family often subsist on flour-and-water biscuits and move from one ramshackle house to another. Men drown their disappointments in the fleeting sweetness of life in drink and brawls, and women hide their disappointment in their menfolk behind a bitter indulgence of male...

[In the following positive review, Graff praises Allison for writing about such controversial subject matter in Skin: Talking about Sex, Class, & Literature.]
I moved East in 1980, fresh from a small-town university "women's" community whose worst splits were over who'd slept with whose girlfriend. So I was surprised when, in Boston, I saw odd, wounded looks on women's faces when they talked—or declined to talk—about recent political history. Someone's restaurant had been boycotted and failed. Someone else refused to meet me, ever, at the women's...

Dorothy Allison loves sex. She also loves writing, women, justice, Southern landscape, literature, her family and truth. It is this huge capacity for passion that makes her work so challenging.

Back in 1992, when Dorothy Allison burst into the literary limelight with her bestselling novel, Bastard Out of Carolina, she dubbed herself the "Roseanne of Literature."

Dorothy Allison put the dirt into dirty realism: real dirt and poverty and violence. In her first novel, Bastard Out of Carolina, she re-created the controlled hysteria of a household that frequently erupts with beatings and sexual abuse. Unlike people who have capitalized on the shock value of such stories, Allison succeeded in directing generations of brutality, anger and disgust into a cogent, skillfully...

Up a dirt road in a graveyard in Guilford, Vermont, a marker worn from the rains of 200 years commemorates a life just this way: "A tired woman in a weary land."

[In the following essay, Irving analyzes Bastard Out of Carolina in relation to the conventional realist style versus the genre of "accepted" lesbian literature.]
Lesbian representation is not simply a matter of making lesbianism visible. … Women of the baby-boom generation, the founders of women's music and culture, believed that they could construct a collective sense of what it meant to be a lesbian, and also develop representations of that collective...

[In the following essay, McDonald explores the literary techniques that Allison employs in Bastard Out of Carolina to give the reader a deeper and more sympathetic understanding of her characters.]
They were of a kind not safely to be described in an account claiming to be unimaginative or untrustworthy, for they had too much and too outlandish beauty not to be legendary. Since, however, they existed quite irrelevant to myth, it will...

[In the following mixed review, Greif argues that although the opening of Cavedweller holds promise, the various characters and their life experiences eventually become tangential and repetitive.]
The path of the West Coast rock star from rural obscurity to premature death makes one of the most alluring and persistent of American stories. A miserable, small-town childhood sets the myth in motion. There is a frigid, authoritarian father; torment at the hands of schoolyard bullies; escape through music. At the other end of the arc, the rock star's demise retains an air...

[In the following essay, Donlon examines the significance of the front porch as a symbol of privacy and escape in Bastard Out of Carolina.]
Ever since the first American gallery appeared in 1702, and until its decline with the coming of air-conditioning, the front porch has been for Southerners "a shady transition between indoors and out where one [can] relax and sip iced tea, talk with a friend on the swing, or eat summer suppers" (Oszuscik 1992:1; Moore, et al. 1983:24).

[In the following essay, King explores the postmodern and feminist aspects of Bastard Out of Carolina.]
Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina is a lyrical yet fiercely disturbing portrait of a South Carolina family besieged by poverty, violence, and incest. Narrated by young Ruth Anne Boatwright—or Bone as she is called by her family—the novel begins, ordinarily enough, with her birth and early years and quickly focuses on the relationship between Bone and her violent...

I suffer from very severe eczema, and this is really the only lip balm type product that I can use. As for the scent, the first few tubes I bought smelled great (fresh, spa like scent) but I have since purchased others that smelled odd and stale.
