Creative Hair Color – an Alternative to Everyday Foil Highlights
Bored of the same-old-same-old hair color? If a traditional set of foiled highlights have you yawning and you're looking to try something new, check out these creative alternatives to the typical "full foil highlights":
Boarding is a freehand hair-coloring method which involves using board and color brush rather than foils. color is hand "painted" into hair, creating a multitude of looks from soft "sun-kissed" dimension to Ombré fashion effects.
"Sombré", a catchy nickname for a softer Ombré is an updated, more subtle version of ombré without the strong contrasts. "Ombré 2.0″ anyone?
Want strong statement hair with minimal maintenance? That may sound like an oxymoron at first… until you meet "Peekaboo" highlights. These are bold sections of color that "peek" out of the hair from underneath the part line. Therefore, regrowth is well hidden allowing one to rock this bold look for quite some time without having to run back to the salon for frequent touchups.
Jewel-toned Ombré:
If you already have Ombré -esque color in your strands, it's easy to change up and update your colors without having to go through the whole lightening process again. Simply have your stylist change up your look with a deposit of different semi-permanent color gloss… and Voilà! Old Ombré gets a bright update with a trifecta of hues.
As always, please remember: Before diving into your next hair adventure, get informed, and consult a salon professional to get the full scoop on:
1) What to expect:
-If the desired results are achievable on your specific hair type
-What steps you and your colorist will need to take to achieve those results
2) Professional maintenance:
-How frequently you need to visit the salon for touch ups
3) At-home maintenance
-How much time do you have in the morning to spend on your hair?
-What kind of products and tools do you need for styling and upkeep?
Wishing good hair days to all,
Emily Chen

Wrapping up my coverage of the annual [2010 System Storage Technical University], I attended what might be perhaps the best session of the conference. Jim Nolting, IBM Semiconductor Manufacturing Engineer, presented the new IBM zEnterprise mainframe, "A New Dimension in Computing", under the Federal track.
The zEnterprises debunks the "one processor fits all" myth. For some I/O-intensive workloads, the mainframe continues to be the most cost-effective platform. However, there are other workloads where a memory-rich Intel or AMD x86 instance might be the best fit, and yet other workloads where the high number of parallel threads of reduced instruction set computing [RISC] such as IBM's POWER7 processor is more cost-effective. The IBM zEnterprise combines all three processor types into a single system, so that you can now run each workload on the processor that is optimized for that workload.
- IBM zEnterprise z196 Central Processing Complex (CPC)
Let's start with the new mainframe z196 central processing complex (CPC). Many thought this would be called the z11, but that didn't happen. Basically, the z196 machine has a maximum 96 cores versus z10's 64 core maximum, and each core runs 5.2GHz instead of z10's cores running at 4.7GHz. It is available in air-cooled and water-cooled models. The primary operating system that runs on this is called "z/OS", which when used with its integrated UNIX System Services subsystem, is fully UNIX-certified. The z196 server can also run z/VM, z/VSE, z/TPF and Linux on z, which is just Linux recompiled for the z/Architecture chip set. In my June 2008 post [Yes, Jon, there is a mainframe that can help replace 1500 servers], I mentioned the z10 mainframe had a top speed of nearly 30,000 MIPS (Million Instructions per Second). The new z196 machine can do 50,000 MIPS, a 60 percent increase!
(Update: Back in 2007, IBM and Sun mutually supported [OpenSolaris on an IBM System z mainframe]. Unfortunately, after Oracle acquired Sun, the OpenSolaris Governing Board has [grown uneasy over Oracle's silence] about the future of OpenSolaris on any platform. The OpenSolaris [download site] identifies 2009.06 as the latest release, but only for x86 and SPARC chip sets. Apparently, the 2010.03 release expected five months ago in March has slipped. Now it looks official that [OpenSolaris is Dead].)
The z196 runs a hypervisor called PR/SM that allows the box to be divided into dozens of logical partitions (LPAR), and the z/VM operating system can also act as a hypervisor running hundreds or thousands of guest OS images. Each core can be assigned a specialty engine "personality": GP for general processor, IFL for z/VM and Linux, zAAP for Java and XML processing, and zIIP for database, communications and remote disk mirroring. Like the z9 and z10, the z196 can attach to external disk and tape storage via ESCON, FICON or FCP protocols, and through NFS via 1GbE and 10GbE Ethernet.
- IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX)
There is a new frame called the zBX that basically holds two IBM BladeCenter chassis, each capable of 14 blades, so total of 28 blades per zBX frame. For now, only select blade servers are supported inside, but IBM plans to expand this to include more as testing continues. The POWER-based blades can run native AIX, IBM's other UNIX operating system, and the x86-based blades can run Linux-x86 workloads, for example. Each of these blade servers can run a single OS natively, or run a hypervisor to have multiple guest OS images. IBM plans to look into running other POWER and x86-based operating systems in the future.
If you are already familiar with IBM's BladeCenter, then you can skip this paragraph. Basically, you have a chassis that holds 14 blades connected to a "mid-plane". On the back of the chassis, you have hot-swappable modules that snap into the other side of the mid-plane. There are modules for FCP, FCoE and Ethernet connectivity, which allows blades to talk to each other, as well as external storage. BladeCenter Management modules serve as both the service processor as well as the keyboard, video and mouse Local Console Manager (LCM). All of the IBM storage options available to IBM BladeCenter apply to zBX as well.
Besides general purpose blades, IBM will offer "accelerator" blades that will offload work from the z196. For example, let's say an OLAP-style query is issued via SQL to DB2 on z/OS. In the process of parsing the complicated query, it creates a Materialized Query Table (MQT) to temporarily hold some data. This MQT contains just the columnar data required, which can then be transferred to a set of blade servers known as the Smart Analytics Optimizer (SAO), then processes the request and sends the results back. The Smart Analytics Optimizer comes in various sizes, from small (7 blades) to extra large (56 blades, 28 in each of two zBX frames). A 14-blade configuration can hold about 1TB of compressed DB2 data in memory for processing.
- IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager
You can have up to eight z196 machines and up to four zBX frames connected together into a monstrously large system. There are two internal networks. The Inter-ensemble data network (IEDN) is a 10GbE that connects all the OS images together, and can be further subdivided into separate virtual LANs (VLAN). The Inter-node management network (INMN) is a 1000 Mbps Base-T Ethernet that connects all the host servers together to be managed under a single pane of glass known as the Unified Resource Manager. It is based on IBM Systems Director.
By integrating service management, the Unified Resource Manager can handle Operations, Energy Management, Hypervisor Management, Virtual Server Lifecycle Management, Platform Performance Management, and Network Management, all from one place.
- IBM Rational Developer for System z Unit Test (RDz)
But what about developers and testers, such as those Independent Software Vendors (ISV) that produce mainframe software. How can IBM make their lives easier?
Phil Smith on z/Journal provides a history of [IBM Mainframe Emulation]. Back in 2007, three emulation options were in use in various shops:
- Open Mainframe, from Platform Solutions, Inc. (PSI)
- FLEX-ES, from Fundamental Software, Inc.
- Hercules, which is an open source package
None of these are viable options today. Nobody wanted to pay IBM for its Intellectual Property on the z/Architecture or license the use of the z/OS operating system. To fill the void, IBM put out an officially-supported emulation environment called IBM System z Professional Development Tool (zPDT) available to IBM employees, IBM Business Partners and ISVs that register through IBM Partnerworld. To help out developers and testers who work at clients that run mainframes, IBM now offers IBM Rational Developer for System z Unit Test, which is a modified version of zPDT that can run on a x86-based laptop or shared IBM System x server. Based on the open source [Eclipse IDE], the RDz emulates GP, IFL, zAAP and zIIP engines on a Linux-x86 base. A four-core x86 server can emulate a 3-engine mainframe.
With RDz, a developer can write code, compile and unit test all without consuming any mainframe MIPS. The interface is similar to Rational Application Developer (RAD), and so similar skills, tools and interfaces used to write Java, C/C++ and Fortran code can also be used for JCL, CICS, IMS, COBOL and PL/I on the mainframe. An IBM study ["Benchmarking IDE Efficiency"] found that developers using RDz were 30 percent more productive than using native z/OS ISPF. (I mention the use of RAD in my post [Three Things to do on the IBM Cloud]).
What does this all mean for the IT industry? First, the zEnterprise is perfectly positioned for [three-tier architecture] applications. A typical example could be a client-facing web-server on x86, talking to business logic running on POWER7, which in turn talks to database on z/OS in the z196 mainframe. Second, the zEnterprise is well-positioned for government agencies looking to modernize their operations and significantly reduce costs, corporations looking to consolidate data centers, and service providers looking to deploy public cloud offerings. Third, IBM storage is a great fit for the zEnterprise, with the IBM DS8000 series, XIV, SONAS and Information Archive accessible from both z196 and zBX servers.
To learn more, see the [12-page brochure] or review the collection of [IBM Redbooks]. Check out the [IBM Conferences schedule] for an event near you. Next year, the IBM Storage University will be held July 18-22, 2011 in Orlando, Flordia.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (93 votes).
In short: My home half, through parts of my history... But loo roll???In full: Much better organised than in other years, I actually got a t-shirt this year (yes, I know i moan but back of the pack runners deserve as much as those whipping through quickly)... Which nicely brings me to the goody bag, 2 wet wipes and a loo roll... Seriously, that was it... Seems others got more/better... But as I said up front its my local half, its not cheap but the route isn't too bad (though its not flat!), and the people are friendly.Paul Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: A great race! In full: This is the second time I've done this race and I absolutely love it. On the way to the race there were major roadworks and a massive hold up. Cars were dashing all over the place to try and get to the start on time. This wouldn't happen at other major races. There were people that didn't even make the start and just joined in as the race approached them not far from the start and there were lots of people still queuing for the loo's when the race started. The starting area is not big enough for the number of people in the race. The gentleman with the 3rd fastest chip time (1:10) actually finished roughly 2000th and with a time of 1:51 meaning it took him 41 minutes to cross the start line! However once you get going this is a great race! I love the course. The medal and tshirt are great as is the optional massage and bananas! Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: a few problems -but i do like this raceIn full: needed more helpers on the water stations guys,we were cueing for water at all 4 !! and to be honest another water station itself. goody bag was poor- the first 1 i was given was empty, and ran out of medium sized t shirts .a technical t shirt would of been nice - but it was just a cheap cotton 1. having moaned about all that the route is 1 of my favourites and i do love this race because i love the route.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Well organised, great track, good atmosphere + the goodie bag was a nice treat.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Pacing service was brilliantIn full: I would like to thank the 2:24 pacer. I missed her at the start because I was too far back. When I caught up several miles later I pretty much stayed with her for the rest of the race. She got me to the end despite a recent injury affecting my preperation- legs were totally gone by the end. Because of her I got a PB improvement of 1 min 21 secs. A briliant job. Wish all races had this service. My only race regret today is I didn't thank her personally as wecrossed the line together. Chris HobsonDate of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Excellent organistion. Very few spectators though!!In full: This is my first Liverpool half and I loved it. My only gripe was the absence of spectators and cheering. The marshals very cheerful and encouraging. Could not fault the organisation. My last half was great north run, with shed loads of people all along. Definitely will come backDate of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Good RaceIn full: Fully enjoyed my 4th Liverpool half. Gets better every year,think the number of runners entering proves that. Bring on the marathon in October now.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: I was able to find my own pace and only on three occasions did I have to dodge around anyone. I'd have preferred to have been staggered, though, as thousanda overtook me in the first couple of hundred yards ;). More portaloos needed for next year.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Good race but found the atmosphere a bit flatIn full: My second half marathon and my first in Liverpool. The weather was perfect and I couldn't fault the organisation other than minor things-the course was a bit narrow at points (Otterspool park especially) and picking up drinks and tshirts etc at the end was very slow-maybe if they were all in one bag it would have been quicker?. Perhaps I expected too much but I thought this was going to be a really fun run but I found the atmosphere a bit flat. Felt bit weird running past people in Sefton park who just stood there staring. Maybe it was the clocks changing had every one a bit bleary eyed! Regarding PB potential, I smashed my last time by ten minutes so absolutely delighted with that! Overall a decent race with potential to be great.Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Really good half marathon, growing year by yearIn full: I like this run,the weather this year was spot on, and no wind on the front this year, so everyone will have enjoyed it more than last year!Date of review: March 27, 2011

Crew Roster Update
The Columbus Dispatch - January 22, 2013 08:37 AM
Calculating how many players are on the Crew active roster is currently a challenge. With unsigned draft picks, potential trades and loan deals all in the works, here's an alphabetical look at the Crew roster.
Bernardo Anor – After tearing his ACL last July, Anor is with the team and is the only player not training due to injury. Anor continues to rehabilitate the knee and took part in the stretching portion of yesterday's training session. He is expected to be full-go by the end of April.
Jairo Arrieta – Playing for his native Costa Rica in the 2013 UNCAF Copa Centroamericana, where his country defeated Nicaragua 2-0 on Sunday and faces Guatemala tonight. Arrieta had the lone goal in a 1-0 win against Belize on Jan. 18.
Chad Barson – Signed, present and accounted for. Barson played some right back in yesterday's 10v10 scrimmage.
Drew Beckie – The Crew's second-round draft pick last week, Beckie has not yet reported to join the Crew. It is undecided whether he will report before the club leaves for Florida on Thursday and take his physical in Columbus or head straight to Bradenton and take it there. He is not under contract.
Dilly Duka – Still very much on the trading block. Duka has moved out of his Columbus apartment.
Ethan Finlay – Present and accounted for. Played some right midfielder in yesterday's scrimmage.
Ryan Finley – Present and accounted for. Finley signed an MLS contract prior to the draft, so you can add him to the official roster total.
Eddie Gaven – Present and accounted for.
Eric Gehrig – Present and accounted for.
Kevan George – Present and accounted for.
Andy Gruenebaum – Present and accounted for.
Federico Higuain – Present and accounted for, and that seems to be a credit to his attitude. No visa issues that strangely delayed him from coming to Columbus on time but allowed him to get to Florida. Higuain was there on the first day and all smiles.
Aaron Horton – Currently with FK Sarajevo in Bosnia in hopes of securing a loan, perhaps a permanent one. The hope is that Horton sees consistent playing time for the first time in his Crew career. Still counts against the cap of 30 players.
Matt Lampson – Missed yesterday's training session for a yearly cancer screening. Expected back imminently.
Chad Marshall – Present, accounted for and in the best shape in two years. This latest ankle surgery featured a quicker recovery time, and Marshall looks fitter and more agile than a year ago. He took part in all drills on the notoriously tough SuperKick turf field and reported no problems.
Justin Meram – Present and accounted for.
Danny O'Rourke – Present, accounted for and took part in all drills. Again, given the turf, a good sign.
Aaron Schoenfeld – Present and accounted for.
Ben Speas – Present and accounted for. Had an assist during 10v10 scrimmaging.
Tony Tchani – Present and accounted for. Tchani is an option to replace Milovan Mirosevic in the middle of the midfield, although the Crew is endeavoring to sign at least one more player to fill that role. Had a goal during 10v10 scrimmaging yesterday.
Wil Trapp – Currently away with the United States U-20 team for a week of training that ends today.
Tyson Wahl – Present and accounted for, Wahl played left back during 10v10 scrimmaging. The Crew is still looking for a full-time left back, but Wahl is likely the starter at this moment.
Josh Williams – Present and accounted for.
Number of signed players present for yesterday's training: 17

Top tips for keeping your aging eyebrows lush and full.
Call it the tale of the disappearing eyebrows: As if wrinkles and gray hairs weren�t enough, our eyebrows change in color, length and thickness as we age, becoming thinner and sparser. To add insult to injury, aging eyebrows often cease to regrow, so a single overzealous tweezer session can leave you with almost nonexistent brows�for good. �It�s not only all the years of over-plucking that finally catch up, but also mid-life brows often become sparse, thin and light to the point of becoming invisible, making you look older than you are,� says skin, makeup and eyebrow expert Jenny Simon. RELATED: Hair Removal Options� Lest you think full, lush brows a thing of the past, however, there are a number of ways to make the most of your aging eyebrows. Here�s the lowdown on the most common methods. Tweezing. In Simon�s opinion, tweezing is the best method for grooming aging eyebrows. She offers three basic guidelines for shaping the brows to achieve the perfect head, arch and tail: �Take an eyeliner pencil and place it vertically against the side of your nose, This is where the brow should begin (head).� �Move the pencil so it hits the outer edge of the pupil, 2/3 of the way toward the temple; this is where it should arch. Without middle arches, you get the dreaded rainbow look.� �Place the pencil against the nostril and move it up so the tip hits the outer corner of the eye. This is where the brow should end (tail).� When tweezing, try pulling the skin taut and plucking in the direction the hair grows. �This will avoid that annoying black stubble,� says Simon. Her favorite tweezing tool is Tweezerman tweezers, which have a hand-filed slanted tip to ensure you grab every hair. Trimming. As you age, brows may not lay down like they used to. Trimming stray, long hairs can help improve the look of unruly brows. Using a brow brush, you can brush them up and trim any extra long hairs. �Trimming too much above the brow line can often destroy the shape,� warns Simon. �If you have a habit of overdoing it, try using a brow gel to hold the hairs in place, such as Maybelline Clear Brow Gel.� Waxing. Waxing is another alternative to remove unwanted hairs. �Waxing is nice because it removes those hard-to-tweeze downy hairs for a much cleaner look,� says Simon. Threading. Threading is a new cosmetic trend in which professional threading experts gently pull a thread that�s like a mini-lasso along unwanted hairs and ease them out. Threading can give your brows a very concise look, but in most cases the brow hair must be at least 1/6 of an inch for it to be successful. Dyeing. Want darker, bolder eyebrows? According to Simon, vegetable dye is the safest way to color faded or gray eyebrows and can last up to six weeks. �This will transform light, blonde or gray hairs into a more robust looking eyebrow,� says Simon. When choosing a color, Simon advises women with dark hair to go one to two shades lighter than their natural hair color, while women with light hair should go one to two shades darker. Blondes should select a dark brown, taupe or light brown tint, she says. Red heads and brunettes should choose a light to medium brown, and women with black hair should go for a dark brown. For gray hairs, Simon recommends �a hint of your natural color.� Brought to you by: Spry Living

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
At Whittier College, our student body works in close, active collaboration with professors who are leaders in their fields. Together, this team of learners conducts research projects that push the boundaries of knowledge and inquiry.
For example, select students support faculty members with their professional academic investigations. At other times, it is the faculty who assist the efforts of students in pursuing groundbreaking new research. Students interact further with faculty members in programs that are part of the College's Centers of Distinction and take place at Garrett and Hartley Faculty Masters' Houses, on-campus residences where professors live for a multi-year term and coordinate and host an array of educational and social activities.
Within the Department of Sociology, majors enroll in SOC 310: Approaches to Social Research Methods. Students, in teams of three or four, conduct a pilot research project in partnership with a community agency. Students have worked with:
Research collaborations within the course serve to develop student familiarity with their community, its service organizations, and the opportunities for further internships and employment that these organizations provide.
Five dozen Whittier students traveled to the U.S./Mexico border last week to join a group of nearly 300 volunteers in picking up trash at Border Field State Park.
The students were led by professors from various departments including Julie Collins-Dogrul, sociology; Jose Orozco, history; David Bourgaize, biology; Mary Perez, social work; and Peter Reich, Whittier Law School. Read more.

Hiya! Mackenzie here. I'm one of the biggest animal lovers you'll ever meet. I'm always trying to do things to help animals and involve myself in getting active for animal rights. I have 4 awesome animal buddies living with me- a dog, ferret, mouse, and leopard gecko. Animals are my world, and I live to speak up for them. Looking good is my thing.. Vegan clothing and cosmetics are always in style! ;)

Perhaps you might try moving the plate to the top shelf, that should help the top browning.Regards,Anthony
that's a good set-up you've got, the steel gives you a lot of heat overhead to cook the top, and your pie isn't on the steel long enough to burn. I'm like you, I don't like running the broiler, and the steel has a tendency to burn the botton crust if the whole bake is completed on it. I would max out my temp., if your oven will go to 550, that's where I'd be.
your oven must run hotter than mine, I could stay on the steel for about 5 minutes at 550 before it would char, sounds like you have a good handle on everything. I actually went back to a stone, I have a dual oven and I use the smaller chamber, so I don't have an issue with the top cooking, my pies cook very evenly in the small space of the oven, it's similar to the result you get by having the hot steel over the top to finish it.
Why the broiler hate? Commercial electric deck ovens have broiler elements that are constantly cycling on and off, and gas deck ovens have thermodynamics that are specifically engineered to recreate the effect of a broiler.
Purely logistical. If I had a turn style knob I'd probably never have gone down this path. Its such a pain when making multiple pies.
I have to admit, I was using a keypad controller the other day for 5 pies, and it was kind of a hassle.Does your oven have a convection feature?

We are one of the oldest Service Disabled Veteran Owned companies providing GSA contract assistance to the business community, since 1986.
Why do we believe having a GSA contract is so important? Have you ever tried to rent a car without a credit card? The same scenario exists. The government cannot just buy from you. You need a contract vehicle for the buyer to place an order against. A GSA contract is the fastest and easiest way to get a 'number' to make the buyer's job easier.
Are you currently awaiting your GSA application submission? 3 months? 6 months? Over a year? We pride ourselves in getting everything ready to submit within 2-4 weeks. Is that fast enough? If your Open Ratings report is generated faster than two weeks, we are ready to submit your completed application to GSA. Do not be fooled by the very low price others charge, you get what you pay for, maybe.
Many companies believe that simply registering with SAM (System for Award Management) will net you business. Nothing could be further from the truth. SAM is required before you can do business with the government, that's all. You must have a contract vehicle for the buyer to place an order against. Get started now with your own GSA contract.
The myth is that a company can succeed without a contract and continue to accept open market orders of $3,000 or less. This violates the CICA (Competition in Contracting Act) and is illegal for multiple purchases. The buyer must combine these requirements and place an order with a contract holder. Do not get caught in this web, get your GSA contract now.
Need to know how your pricing compares with other GSA contract holders? We have the tools to provide you with a complete pricing analysis for GSA Advantage and DoD eMall at a reasonable price.
Need to accept credit cards?
Required for GSA contracts. We have negotiated low rates for you.

Wine Industry

John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, history was made here in Ottawa recently at a very exclusive wine tasting featuring Canadian and French wines.
I am delighted to report to the House that the experts and the general public both rated Canadian wines in the top categories over competitive wines from Bordeaux.
A Platinum Reserve Meritage from Cedar Creek in British Columbia scored number one over 17 other wines, both domestic and French. Experts ranked Reserve Merlot from Colio as their number two choice, while Canadian public tasters ranked a Meritage from Burrowing Owl in British Columbia as their number two choice.
This was a great day for Canadian vintners and their wines and it was a great day for Canada. We can take pride in the fact that our Canadian produced wines have been tested and judged as among the best in the world.
More must be done to inform Canadians of the fine quality domestic wines that are available to them. Canadians must be encouraged to choose Canadian wines when the price and quality are comparable.
On behalf of the official opposition, the Conservative Party of Canada, I want to extend congratulations to the Canadian vintners for what they have accomplished and wish them continued success in all their future endeavours.
They deserve our applause for producing wines that compete internationally against the best that France has to offer.

Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on behalf of Electro-Federation Canada and its efforts toward promoting innovation.
I wish to recognize the federation's efforts in addressing issues that demonstrate its concern for the environment, in which it develops more energy efficient and environmentally friendly products. By improving these products it is helping the environment.
The federation is also working with the Canadian Appliance Manufacturers Association to help minimize the effect that household appliances have on our environment and to improve Canada's performance in the world through training and education.
Thanks to the federation's efforts, many problems are being addressed to help Canada compete on a global level in every sector of our economy and to keep valuable manufacturing jobs within Canada.

Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Isabel Gagné and Pierre Pelletier, who officially opened their second soapery in the old Saint-Alexis rectory in La Baie. The Olivier Soapery is a therapeutic and tourist operation providing biodegradable and environmentally-friendly products.
The company's rapid success and constant growth have prompted its owners to settle in the riding of Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, in the home town of the company's founder and president, Isabel Gagné.
This unique tourism initiative is not only creating jobs but also teaching our young and not so young people about our history.
We are all extremely proud to welcome back Ms. Gagné, so that she can get in touch with her roots and create her local products in Quebec.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak today about the second Young Leaders in Rural Canada Awards. These awards are the Government of Canada's way of recognizing young people who have used their passion, spirit and skills to benefit their community. Three awards are given out to celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of rural youth between the ages of 18 and 29 in three categories: innovation, leadership and partnership.
The second Young Leaders in Rural Canada Award winners are: Dylan Green of Tofino, British Columbia for innovation; Miguel LeBlanc, originally of Scoudouc, New Brunswick for leadership; and Mallory Statham of Powell River, British Columbia for partnership.
Honorary mentions were also given to Joël Delisle of St-Gilles, Quebec for innovation; Jason Leonard of Whitehorse, Yukon for leadership; and Lana Cowling-Mason of Warren, Manitoba for partnership.
Please join me in congratulating these young leaders of today who will also be our leaders of tomorrow.

Mr. Speaker, today being November 25, it is 12 years and one month since I was elected to Parliament along with many others here in the chamber. It is with mixed feelings today that I rise and say my farewell to this place and to my constituents.
I have certainly met some wonderful people on both sides of the House as well as wonderful people through my jobs as international trade critic, finance critic and industry critic in the last 12 years.
It is a time to say a special thanks to some wonderful people, the constituents of Peace River who have elected me in four elections. I will be going back there to spend time in retirement. I also want to thank my colleagues for the tremendous support that I have enjoyed in my 12 years in this place. I want to thank as well my family and my wife Bernice. Without their support I could not have done this job.
History will judge us as to what kind of a commitment we made. I just want to say it has been a great privilege to have had this job for 12 years.

Lui Temelkovski Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate the students of three schools in my colourful riding of Oak Ridges—Markham who won the Markham secondary school business plan competition for 2005.
These awards encourage young people to hone their entrepreneurial spirit and potential. The students are from Brother Andre Catholic High School, Markham District High School and St. Augustine Catholic High School where two of my kids attend. Way to go on a job well done.
Also at this time, I would like to thank the constituents of Oak Ridges—Markham for having supported me in 2004. I look forward to continuing my work with them in the future.
Violence against Women
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Denise Poirier-Rivard Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The UN first declared this day in 2000. However, since 1981, this has been a day of remembrance for women's rights advocates as a result of the 1961 murders of the three Mirabal sisters, who were women's rights advocates in the Dominican Republic.
Governments and organizations are invited to hold events and activities on this day to raise public awareness of this problem.
Violence can take many forms: it can be psychological, verbal, physical and even economic. Some 87% of women identify themselves as having been victims of sexual harassment and 25% as victims of spousal abuse.
The Bloc Québécois condemns violence of any kind and reiterates that each and every woman has the right to live without fear and to be treated fairly and with respect.

Robert Thibault West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, last January this government designated 2005 as the Year of the Veteran. Our goal was to pay tribute to our veterans, to honour their achievements and to recognize their sacrifices. It has been a success.
My riding is home to CFB Greenwood and I represent many veterans who live in a beautiful part of our country. This year West Nova organized a number of events to commemorate our veterans. I was pleased at the number of young people who came out and had the opportunity to learn of their history from those who served their country in war and in peacekeeping service.
As this may be one of my last opportunities to rise in this Parliament, I would like to take the opportunity to say thanks to all the veterans of West Nova and to wish them all the best in the years to come. I add my congratulations to the Royal Canadian Legion and all volunteer organizations who honoured our veterans this year.
Braun Scott Woodfield

Gary Goodyear Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, how does a parent say goodbye to a son, or a sister to a brother? I rise today in honour but with immense sadness to say goodbye to Braun Woodfield. This bright 24 year old followed in his father's footsteps to serve his country.
Braun was killed yesterday in Afghanistan. This amazing young man belongs to an equally amazing family that is close to my heart. To learn that one of our own has made the ultimate sacrifice and others have suffered injuries is a reminder to us here in the House and in this great land of the dangers facing those who serve in the name of democracy and freedom.
On behalf of myself and the people of Canada, I extend my deepest sympathies to Dan, Bev, Lyndy and the entire Woodfield family for their sudden and tragic loss.
We shall never forget Braun. We are forever grateful to him for serving this country with pride and integrity.

Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, I wish to take this opportunity to pay tribute to two entrepreneurs from my riding, who recently won a prestigious award.
Last weekend, Francine Landry and Valmond Martin, the owners of Les Jardins Inn, in my riding of Madawaska—Restigouche, received the New Brunswick Economic Council Business of the Year Award.
Francine and Valmond have been involved in the community for a very long time, and they make a significant contribution to our region. This is to say that the award they received last weekend was fully deserved. I want to congratulate them on this honour.
Again, my congratulations, Francine and Valmond.
Health Care
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, we know the upcoming election will be on ethics. No place will that be clearer than in the debates around health care.
A few weeks ago the NDP presented the Liberals with its proposals to stop the erosion of public health care: prohibit provinces from using federal transfers to pay for private health care; ensure doctors working in the private system do not have billing privileges in the public system; and make it mandatory that provinces report on how transfers are used.
The Liberal response was disappointing. It began with the words "when private involvement threatens the integrity of the public system". Doctors know private involvement already threatens our public system, which is why it was the focus of their annual general meeting this year. Nurses know the public system is threatened. That is why they are calling on all parties to support conditions on federal transfers that limit spending to not for profit health care. Health care advocates know a private system threatens universal access to care. That is why they are calling for strategies that support publicly delivered care.
The Liberals do not get it. After giving away $41 billion, they said that only future funding would have conditions attached. Their bold plan to protect health care was to fully enforce the Canada Health Act--

Larry Miller Grey—Bruce—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, although the Liberal Party of Canada has officially been named in a judicial inquiry into corruption, the culture of entitlement continues with untendered contracts to friends, exorbitant severance to insiders and the Liberal Party's stubborn refusal to pay back stolen ad scam dollars. They have continuously dropped the ball on the softwood lumber dispute and the Auditor General says they are not providing adequate training to RCMP officers.
Canadians know the time for change has come. They will soon have that choice between a clean, honest Conservative government and a tired, arrogant and scandal-ridden gang of Liberals.
The Prime Minister, the finance minister and the revenue minister were flying on an executive Airbus together. The Prime Minister said to the finance minister, "I could throw a $1,000 bill out the window and make someone very happy". The finance minister responded by saying, " I could throw 10 $100 bills out the window and make 10 people happy". Then the revenue minister said, "I could throw 100 $10 bills out the window and make 100 people happy".
I say let us throw the whole Liberal government out and make 30 million people happy.

Mr. Speaker, we were saddened to learn that a Canadian soldier from Victoria, Braun Scott Woodfield, was killed, while four others were injured.
He is the eighth Canadian solider to die in Afghanistan since 2001. This tragic event highlights the dangers faced everyday by these men and women who risk their lives for freedom, peace and democracy.
To the soldiers injured in the accident, we wish a speedy recovery. To the family and friends of Private Woodfield we extend our deepest condolences.
Violence against Women

Helena Guergis Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to rise today in the House on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
There is so much more that the Liberals could be doing to protect women and children from violence. I know this because for several years I served as a crisis intervention volunteer.
Today as a member of Parliament I sit on the status of women committee where I presented a motion to deal with the fact that aboriginal women living on reserves do not have basic property rights. I am also proud to be working with Ilona Binns, Loretta Gismondi and Mona McFarlene of the Catholic Women's League of Canada on the C.A.S.E. campaign, Canadians Addressing Sexual Exploitation.
In my riding of Simcoe--Grey, I have two excellent shelters that are working hard to protect women and help them cope as they rebuild their lives.
In Alliston, My Sister's Place has an excellent new executive director in Judith Stevens. In Collingwood, My Friend's House continues under the superb leadership of Alison Fitzgerald. Then there are the countless staff and volunteers who give so generously of their time and energy.
I am grateful for the opportunity that I have had to serve women as a member of Parliament. I look forward to being in a Conservative government that will stand up for women.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (110 votes).
In short: Excellent, well organised. But take Gebrselassie's advice - lose the mile 11 hill!In full: Fantastic organisation. Great support. Superb atmosphere.The ONLY thing I would plead is to avoid such a tough 2 mile hill run at the end. Gebrselassie said afterwards he was taken aback by it, not ideal for most people and that they need to have a look at it for 2012. Easy... go back to the superb route from 2009 (world championship course) with an extended run through Bournville (the best bit after all).Date of review: October 28, 2011
In short: Put a quick first mile in to make up for that hill. This is a PB course, I cant why everyone is making such a fuss 90% of it is flat as a pancakeDate of review: October 28, 2011
Date of review: October 28, 2011
In short: A massive improvement on last yearIn full: Hats off to the organisers who have resolved the issues that marred last years race.Only issue now is the hill between 10 & 12 which is a real sting in the tail.On a personal level it all went wrong for me but I'm sure I know why. Consequently I hope to be back next year to slay the demons. Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: Shame I was injured and full of a cold (stupid pride)In full: I was really looking forward to this one as it's my home town run. But with a hamstring injury and a stinking cold, I was never gonna light any fires in this one. Brummie pride ruled my head meaning I was never going to miss it, but I wish I'd been more sensible. On a positive note, the organisation was fantastic, the crowds were truly uplifting and the course was tough but enjoyable. The hill at the end was a real tester and really made you dig deep. By the end I had nothing left, even though I failed to break the two hour mark. But next year, I'll be back and 1:50 is the target!!Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: Fantastic event overallIn full: The contrast between this event and the schoolboy level organisation of Cardiff Half the previous week could not have been greater.Well thought out and supported. Toilet facility provision, bag drop, professional warm up excellent, and multi-wave race start significantly reduced congestion. The course itself was well set up, running through leafy neighbourhoods, with at least 6 water/powerade stations, exceptional volunteer support and numerous street bands contributing to a fantastic overall ambience. A bit of a sting in the tail was the only significant hill on the course between 10.5- 12 miles but PB potential still there. The only minor gripe was the lack of changing facilities (yes people really do want to get out of wet gear after a race!) which would have been easy and innexpensive to set up in the vast space of the NIA main hall, which was otherwise only being partially used for the bag drop. Otherwise, this was easily the best overall event I`ve attended in the last 2 years.Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: My first 1/2 marathon, amazing experience!In full: I loved every minute of the race, although struggled a bit from mile 8 to 11. The hill at the end was a challenge, but nowhere near as bad as I had expected. Great atmosphere, great organisation, great experience!Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: Well organised, 1st half was fast but last half has few slopes, nice crowdsIn full: Lots of expensive parking about in Birmingham centre £10 for 6 hours stay as expected for city centre parking. No problems with parking. Well organised by great run as usual. Water at the start and finish is great. Enough water/powerade stops. If any energy drink company comes up with smaller energy shot/drinks it will save so much money and give us an extra drink at the finish will be better. Lets see if they will ever do it.First 10k was fast as included downhills. Last 11k had a small challenge of slope near the end but still managed a PB. The finish should include timing chip removers or helpers at hand. Not everyone is capable of bending down and pulling off race chip of removing trainers and laces after 13.1 miles. Bit lazy of Great Run.Event price from great run always steep as its well organised but Tshirt needs to improve in quality as they are such a big organiser. Im sure they can arrange a massive deal for technical tshirts just like their medals which look the same apart from the other side.This year race numbers having names is great idea, bigger name and smaller numbers will be better next year on a cheering point of view.Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: Good addition to the BUPA/Great Run series but not a fast courseIn full: The race information was very good; it gave all the necessary information and it was very helpful to have a course profile, given the hills in the latter stages.Having your name and most of the relevant information pre-printed was helpful, as was the pre-printed baggage tag.The water stations were efficient and I thought the crowd support was pretty good.Things seemed to go pretty smoothly, all-in.Great Run races are never going to be brilliant value for money compared to the smaller club-organised races, but if you want to do a big city race you seem to have to pay a fair bit these days to avoid it being a shambles...I'm not sure if I'll do the race again because there are other, faster autumn halfs at a similar price, and courses which are equally tough but more scenic, so for me it probably falls between the 2 types of race.Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: Perfect organisation for a big-city raceIn full: The start was brilliantly-organised. A wave system was in place, and feeder pens allowed you to join your wave without having to push through the crowds. Plenty of side streets to warm up in as well. Just before crossing the start line, there was a bottleneck - genius idea! This really eased congestion on the course proper and meant there was no tripping over other runners in the first few hundred metres. Could they have aplit up the orange wave - perhaps signage for those aiming at sub-1.30, sub-1.40 etc?Well-placed drinks stations, though they should have smaller bottles of Powerade to cut down on waste.Yes, the hill at 10 miles was tough, but something had to make up for the downhill just after the start. I actually quite enjoyed it! Massive PB, so I'm not going to complain too much...The finish was very straightforward, and the officials were very quick to move runners away from the finish area.Definitely coming back next year!Date of review: October 26, 2011

When I was working on my instrument rating, one of the first skills I learned was how to enter and fly a holding pattern. I sometimes had a devil of a time figuring out the proper entry—and at that time, there really was a requirement to get the proper entry and enter the hold properly—and sometimes I had bit of (or a lot of) trouble figuring out the best time or wind correction angle for the outbound leg. It didn't take long to master, but I do remember thinking that I would so rarely hold that the whole thing was kind of a stupid exercise.
Little did I know.
Airline flying, especially in the Northeast, consists of more holds than one would imagine. Most of them are for weather—either weather moving through in the way of a summer thunderstorm, or as a result of weather totally muddying up the works earlier in the day. Snow plows created holding as well. Low vis will produce holds because airplanes are slow to clear the runway, and if the airport doesn't have ground-based radar, everything takes twice as long.
Airport volume drives holding more than weather, though, and it is that kind of holding that is more unpredictable. Clear skies, low winds and…expect further clearance (EFC) times that are an hour or more away will drive you batty. They will also force a lot of diversions unless the dispatcher was able to load you up with a lot of extra fuel.
But some holds just crack you up or are "plane" unusual. More than once I had to hold (both on the ground and in flight) so that Air Force One (or One-and-a-Half [First or Second Lady] or Two) could take off or land. I once had to hold so that the Air Force Thunderbirds (or Blue Angels, I can't remember which [and for the record, the Blue Angels are a far better show]) could finish their performance. On my last trip with Comair, I was trying to get into Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and we held for 30 minutes because the airport had to clean up some dead birds.
Apparently, there were a lot of them, small ones, that had been hit by a previous arrival and departure. I've also held so that airplanes dealing with an emergency could land in front of me. Perfectly understandable.
Back in the day, flying a hold could be a bit of work, and when I was learning to do it, my instructor would occasionally make me do the entry and the hold on a single radio just to keep me on my toes. When I was flying the Brasilia, we had an autopilot, but we still had to fly the turns with the heading bug. The CRJ had a flight management system, and we had an entire module of training that focused on holds. The point of that was to get the crews proficient enough to get a hold built and executed in the shortest time possible.
Once the hold was "in the box" and the pictured verified on the multifunction displays, the flight plan could be executed and the aurplane would do its magic; it would even figure out the entry, which was ironic, because nowadays the entry doesn't really matter so long as you get established quickly. If for whatever reason the crew doesn't like the entry, it can be over-ridden by flying the entry in a heading mode, and then joining the hold. I did that once or twice just to stick it to the aviation deities. It's the small battles…
The flip side to getting into a hold is talking your way out of one, or better yet, out of even starting one. When I was based in New York, I became quite adept at avoiding holds altogether. Thanks to high gas prices, tankering extra fuel was frowned upon if it wasn't deemed absolutely essential.
Diversions create work and headaches for ATC, so I learned how to be perfectly honest about our situation and tell them we simply couldn't hold. Most of the time, they could find a way to fit us in. Sometimes they couldn't, and we did indeed divert.
Once that happened, my dispatcher would invariably want to talk. I always smiled, and told them they would have to stand by and hold…—Chip Wright

Much grief cited
To the Journal editor:
It's such a shame that all the suffering and grief in the world can't be harnessed to make electricity.
I wish I could believe that all that copper mined at Eagle would go into making wire for new houses. I would think half would be shot into the air in the middle east or at a firing range.
The first canary in the cage incident that I can remember without looking at reference would be Whitman on top of a tower in Austin, Texas, with a rifle.
I thought 9/11 pretty much made me a pro at grief. The couple holding hands jumping to certain death, live on TV. All these incidents are the canary events to me.
Close your eyes and don't look. That will hang with me forever. I don't expect to see, in my life time anyway, a reduction with the insanity of these massacres.
Looking for a career? Grief counseling would be a steady Eddy along with cry your eye's out trauma dog handler.
No way out of this one no matter what we do. If only the janitor had a longer mop handle.

The Tengwar mode for Hungarian was devised by Radványi Balázs with suggestions and consultation from some experts of Hungarian Tolkien Society. It is 90% based on Tolkien's phonetic manuscripts, and 10% on their own ideas and intuitions, but strictly following the Tengwar phonetic rules.
Minden emberi lény szabadon születik és egyenlő méltósága és joga van. Az emberek, ésszel és lelkiismerettel bírván, egymással szemben testvéri szellemben kell hogy viseltessenek.

Whole Foods Market: A New Year's Resolution
Why not go down to your favorite natural foods store and look carefully at the nutritious variety of delicious choices that can help your new year begin on a healthy note. You might even talk to the employees who work there and ask for a tour of all the latest, organic, gluten-free, digestively positive foods and supplements that line their shelves and produce bins.
If you're one of the fortunate people who has a Whole Foods Market (WFM) within driving distance of your home you may want to make that one of your destinations. The stores are culinary wonderlands, and although the price-per-item is "above average" so are the profits for this visionary company.
As you can see on the five-year chart below, the stock's price has come a long way. You can also directly correlate it with the company's trailing 12-month price-to-cash flow.
As of the quarter which ended on Sept. 30, WFM had year-over-year quarterly earnings growth of almost 50%. Its year-over-year revenue growth for the same quarter spiked 24%. That's what I'm talking about!
Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a real money portfolio for his charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio, and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements.
Another big positive for WFM concerns its competition. In short, there is none. Yes, there are some fine locally run, privately-owned natural food stores. But none have the selection and growth model that separates Whole Foods Market from the herd. Plus, WFM is publicly traded and has plans to expand.
You'd be well-served to visit its "delicious" Web site . Scroll down the page and you'll learn so much. Check out the "mission and values" page too. This is an exceptional story!
Now before you get too "hot to trot" about owning shares of WFM, I'd like to serve up a few caveats for discriminating investors to ponder. First, the stock is trading at almost 37 times trailing earnings and 27 times forward (1-year) earnings. Its price-to-earnings-to-growth ratio stands at 1.85, yet its trailing-12-month profit margin is not even 4%.
Analysts have a consensus one-year target price of just under $105. With the price currently above $91 there appears to be some worthwhile upside potential, but please consider using a stealth trailing-stop-loss system to protect both your gains and your downside risk.
The company will report its earnings from the final quarter of 2012 on Feb. 4. Traders may want to buy some shares now and watch WFM up to Feb. 4. If we have some days where the market sells off and the shares trade down to $90 or below you might consider accumulating then.

Welcome to OTTI 16 Thes du Japon which features 5 very divergent and different offerings. OTTI 16 is a D.O.VE. OTTI Round. "DEDICATED to ONE VENDOR"
TeaChat member Flonihoncha (Florent) is a partner of Thes du Japan!
You can check out their site and French and English version blogs at the links below.
Each participant will receive 10 grams of each selection (see below), 50 grams total. If you have already ordered one or more of these sencha, please let me know, and I will see what we can work out, such as subbing with another selection from my personal purchase from this vendor.
In the past I was able to allow members to double up (I refer to this as "2X") and receive 20 grams per selection. I should be able to do the same this time around. Please see the ordering information in the next post. However, I will give everyone the opportunity to participate first. However if you want 2X, remember to say so on your order.
Expect a pretty speedy turnaround on this one as all the teas, pouches, packaging are already here. As of this writing, the tea is still sealed and in the TeaFridge, but we will be weighing and placing the teas in pouches shortly.
The 5 "sencha" selections are as follows:
Type of tea: Fukamushi sencha (deep-steamed sencha)
Origin: Kagoshima Prefecture, Kirishima City, Makizono-cho
Cultivar: Saemidori
Harvest: First spring harvest, April 23, 2012 (ichiban cha), hand picked
*this is the only Fukamushi of the 5. It will be interesting to compare this SM to others!
Type of tea: Futsumushi sencha (normal steamed sencha)
Origin: Miyakonojô Town, Miyazaki Prefecture
Cultivar: Oku-midori
Harvest: First spring harvest, May 2012 (ichiban cha)
*Oku Midori cultivar is developing a following. Let's see what it is all about!
Type of tea: Futsumushi sencha (normal-steamed sencha)
Origin: Yokosawa, Tamakawa area, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture
Cultivar: Yabukita
Harvest: End of May 2012 (first spring harvest, ichiban cha)
*from mountainous Honyama region
Type of tea: "Micro-fermented" sencha
Origin: Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture
Cultivar: Sayama-kaori
Harvest: First spring harvest 2012 (ichiban-cha)
*I purchased the other version of micro-fermented sencha. Very different and unique!
Type of tea: Kama-iri cha
Origin: Gokase Town, Miyazaki Prefecture
Cultivar: Yabukita
Harvest: First spring harvest, May 2012 (ichiban cha)
*For Kamairicha fans and novices alike!
I hope you can join us for this Sencha OTTI round and support Flonihoncha at the same time! For most of us this will be our first exposure to Thes du Japon. It should be exciting and ... tasty!
See the next post for info on how to participate.

Skip to comments.Dominican Cardinal Greets News of Gay U.S. Ambassador with Anti-Homosexual Slur
Posted on 07/04/2013 8:22:48 AM PDT by marshmallow
The Roman Catholic cardinal in the Dominican Republic responded on Thursday to news that President Barack Obama had nominated an openly gay man as ambassador to the island nation by calling him a 'maricón' -- slang for 'faggot' or 'sissy' -- during a press conference.
Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez took questions on Thursday in the capital city of Santo Domingo about the appointment of James 'Wally' Brewster, an Obama campaign donation 'bundler,' as his nation's top emissary from Washington, D.C.
Asked to shift topics to a question about agriculture, the high-ranking clergyman brought laughs from reporters by saying, 'We went from faggots and lesbians to chickens, now?'
'In the United States anything can happen,' he complained. 'But there's no one in this country who doesn't know what my position is on the matter.'
The press conference came three days before an annual gay pride parade in Santo Domingo.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
I don't understand appointing ambassadors that offend the culture of the host country. Aren't they suppose to choose diplomats?
Yes and it can also be a deadly combination for the ambassador as demonstrated in Libya. While being homosexual may have not been the sole reason for Stevens death I believe it was a major contributing element.
Those intolerant Catholics!!! /s
That is one great line!! This country's government is getting some massive humiliation treatment... and I'm loving it.
It's an "IN YOUR FACE" tactic to break down MORAL barriers. Glad the Domincans are more MORAL than we are!
The important question, that I believe should be on everyone's mind here in the U.S, is how do you properly pronounce "maricón"?
Obama says that a privately made youtube video can be offensive to foreign cultures and ban it yet he sees no hypocrisy in shoving homosexuality down the throats of foreign nations using the power of the US State Department.
Clinton did something similar by appointing a homosexual man as ambassador to an overwhelmingly Catholic country (but since the country was in Europe maybe a lot of the population was only nominally Catholic).
mah ree CONE
A nation can refuse another's ambassador.
Plum ambassadorial post that don't need skilled diplomats are held for large campaign contributors. Brewster's choosing the Dominican Republic, which has a large gay community, is a reflection of his own personal preference in potential sexual partners.
The accent is on the last syllable. CON, not cone.
Yes, except that you cut off the "r" so that it sounds more like a "d."
I'm amused at the whole situation. No doubt there's a fair amount of homosexuality in the DR, especially involving tourists, but the Cardinal doesn't have to pretend it's respectable.
Arent they suppose to choose diplomats? There have been no diplomats since 1850, I believe.
Obama is choosing diplomats, women for Islamic states, perverts for religious states.
Obama wants America to be destroyed and is making sure nobody will help when we get invaded by Russia and China.
One by one, Obama is destroying every foundational stone under us.
Obama is a Traitor, and so is the Congress Critters that support him in his efforts.
But God is patient, and often waits till the offenders cup is full before He brings justice.
Apparently Obama is capable of so much more...
No, CONE is correct. It's important to learn correct Spanish pronunciation: soon after amnesty, it will become the majority language.
Now I know a little more Spanish thanks to Free Republic. I will use the word "maricon" (sorry, I don't know how to type the accent mark over the last syllable). I think you are right about the pronunciation of the vowel "o".
ooops... I replied to the wrong person. I think "cone" as in pine cone is correct.
Well, The Dominican Republic is nearly 70% Roman Catholic. And you know what Obama's method of dealing with ideologies that oppose him is...
Yes, I know that the accent is on the last syllable - I speak Spanish, learned in Latín America - I have done simultaneous translations in public forums -
I wrote it to make it clear to English speakers.
Spanish has fewer short vowels, like the i in big or king, the uh sound created by the o in love or the u in hurry.
I was indicating that the o in maricon was long, and since I don't have that symbol on my keyboard, I wrote CONE in capital letters as the stressed last syllable, with an e at the end to indicate that the o is long, as in the cone of ice cream cone, not short like the con of convert.
I'm betting that Mariicon doesn't translate to "faggot"
Oh...it doesn't. Comes from magpie, a bird
So, lousy translation. I'm guessing "flighty" might be closer.
That said, I'm not surprised the rest of the world isn't worshipping at the altar of American political correctness.
And no, I will not translate the tagline.
So, lousy translation.
It's not a lousy translation, it's an idiomatic one. English speakers don't call homosexuals "magpies," so the explanation of the cardinal's comments use an English equivalent.
If an American story reported that an English-speaking cardinal had called someone a "fairy," a Dominican newspaper would also have to explain our idiom in terms their audience understood, because the literal translation would make no sense.
No, an equivalent would be "fairy" or "pansy". "Faggot" has a much more negative, edgy connotation.
Oops -— I just realized that the text thing messed up, so the more readable version is here.
Is there a difference between fairy and faggot?
Never forget Barry Sinclair is the same stupid, arrogant, SOB who tried like hell to appoint not one, but two pro-abortion Catholics to the position of US Ambassador to the Vatican. Both times Pope Benedict put them on the first plane out of Rome and finally Barry sent over a pro-life candidate. This man is an arrogant, homosexual-loving, anti-family, anti-Christian lunatic of the first degree.

Planning panel OKs Izaak Walton League permit
NEW ULM – The Brown County Planning Commission unanimously approved with changes Monday, the Izaak Walton League's Conditional Use Permit (CUP), allowing use of rifle, small arms shooting and archery ranges in Sigel Township.
Permit changes approved include keeping all rounds or ammunition within property lines. The range will be closed from noon to 5 p.m. the first and third Sunday from May through August. Operation hours may be modified if the Izaak Walton League and adjoining property owners Daniel and Lisa Schneider agree.
Planning Commission staff will review changes with the Brown County attorney prior to the Feb. 19 County Board meeting.
Other recommended changes are liability insurance at a minimum of $500,000 for property use as a shooting range, verified with a current Certificate of Insurance on file in the Brown County Zoning Office. A current Certificate of Liability Insurance surpassing that amount was part of the planning commission meeting packet.
The property entrance gate must be locked when the shooting range is not in operation. Range operation hours shall be limited to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. or sunset (whichever is earlier) without supervision, April through October. With supervision, 6 to 10 p.m. June through October, (extended to April-October if June-October limited period interferes with law enforcement licensing requirements).
Range operation hours with supervision may extend to 10:59 p.m. up to 10 days a year with three of those days extended to 11:59 p.m. Supervision is defined as at least two law enforcement personnel present at range.
Daytime public use of shooting range is allowed in Izaak Walton League-sponsored and organized events. Range operation events are limited to six annually-sponsored events that include non-members, and one annual Minnesota State University, Mankato event. Club-sponsored or law enforcement fire arms training are not included in these six events.
The Commission unanimously approved:
Duane Roiger's CUP continuing to allow up to 500 AU (500 head) in a North Star Township beef finishing operation in the A-1 Agricultural Protection Zoning District.
Richard Mauer's application amending existing CUP allowing existing feedlot expansion from 2,400 head (720 AU) to 4,800 head (1,440 AU), construction of a new confinement barn and an 8-foot deep manure storage area, continued use of an existing confinement barn and manure storage area in a hog- wean-to-finish operation in the A-1 Agricultural Protection Zoning District.
The County Board must approve the recommendations of the planning and zoning commission before they become final.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Good Earnings, Bad Market
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The market is allowed to go down, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday. Sometimes, it even goes down for no good reason. That was the case in today's trading, he said, as many great companies saw their stocks fall despite reporting great earnings.
Cramer said there are still plenty of bears and naysayers abound spouting off a litany of totally credible reasons why the markets should be lower. Whether it's a weak economy, Federal Reserve policy, troubles in Europe, a slowing China, rising taxes or stocks that have simply run too much and are now too expensive, the bears always have a great argument. The only problem is, they've been wrong for the last 4,000 points.
The bears always seem smart, Cramer added, and they never seem to be proven wrong -- but that doesn't mean that investors should shy away from stocks. Cramer never advocates buying the markets as a whole, but rather picking only the very best stocks while steering clear from the very worst.
Stocks like Domino's Pizza
Cramer said he would certainly join the bears if there were indeed a change in Fed policy or major news out of Europe, but neither of those things happened today. And that's why stocks today are more valuable than they were yesterday.
Executive Decision: Rick Hamada
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer once again sat down with Rick Hamada, CEO of Avnet
