Constitution Act, 2010 (Senate Term Limits)
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, indeed a key function of the Senate is the representation of regions and minorities. I would expect that the provinces would have the perspective that the Prime Minister and the government seem not to have in terms of representation because we have seen through its 34 senators a reduction in gender equity and a reduction in the representation of minorities in the Senate.
I fully expect that the provinces would have that at heart because at the heart of democracy and how the country is governed is that all people are represented.
Constitution Act, 2010 (Senate Term Limits)
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia
Steven Fletcher Minister of State (Democratic Reform)
Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member's comments on the nature of the term limits. The member has suggested that eight years may not be long enough and that it takes time for people to learn the ropes, so to speak. I can tell the member that the people on this side of the House can learn the ropes in this place in about eight seconds.
Eight years seems to be plenty. People can do their undergrads, their Ph.D. theses and go to the moon and back within eight years. I think people can certainly represent and understand how the Senate and Parliament works within that time frame. It is the longest period of time if we look at other upper chambers.
We are open to suggestions. We have incorporated suggestions from past consultations. This has been looked at for 143 years. We want to make one step. Why is the member so critical?

Government Orders

Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, I want to tip my hat to the member opposite, who said that he can learn the ropes in eight seconds. I would certainly not presume to claim anything similar myself. I would like to remind the minister of state that the key concern the Liberal Party has is not about the detail. It is about the process.
Special committees have looked at this over the years. There are legitimate concerns about the constitutional right of a Parliament to unilaterally make this change. Referring this to the Supreme Court of Canada is the democratic and responsible response. The government has failed to do that and has failed to have the necessary consultations.
Constitution Act, 2010 (Senate Term Limits)
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address Bill C-10, which amends the Constitution Act of 1867 and limits Senate terms.
It is not the first time that the Conservatives introduce such legislation. This is the fourth time in four years that they are proposing a bill to reform the Senate by limiting to eight years the term for which senators would serve.
This is a new attempt by the Conservative government to somehow reform the Senate. That is totally ridiculous. It shows once again the Conservatives' bad faith when the time comes to obtain the consent of the provinces—in this case Quebec—regarding the Constitution Act of 1867.
The Bloc Québécois is in favour of abolishing the Senate. However, the path followed by the Conservative government ignores the negotiating process that must take place with the provinces and which requires the consent of seven provinces representing 50% of the Canadian population.
The government presents a number of arguments. It claims to want to strengthen the institutions' democratic legitimacy. At the same time, it has no scruples about continuing on a path of democratic illegitimacy for the Senate, by speeding up the appointment process with this new bill. We can therefore say that this legislation is useless, since the Conservatives are contradicting themselves. They claim that they want to increase the democratic legitimacy of this institution—which is said to be archaic—but appointed senators do not have any public legitimacy. Later on, I will refer to some polls that clearly show this to be the case.
Second, any reform of this archaic institution—and I emphasize the word "archaic"—cannot be achieved unilaterally, without the consent of Quebec and of the provinces that represent over 50% of the population, provided there are seven of them. Third, if this Conservative government were really serious about wanting to increase the institutions' democratic legitimacy, it would ensure that Quebec's weight in the House of Commons is maintained.
If I have time later on, I will explain how this government is going to change Quebec's democratic weight by adding 30 new ridings, including 20 or so in Ontario. But let us look at today's issue, namely Bill C-10, which would provide an eight year, non-renewable term for senators. That is why we are saying the Senate is archaic and, more importantly, why it lacks democratic legitimacy.
If this bill is passed, it will speed up senators' turnover and the appointment process, as current senators would retire and be replaced by others whose term would last eight years. Such a change would allow a recently elected prime minister to quickly harmonize the parties' representation in the Senate and in the House of Commons after a change of government, and thus take control of the Senate more rapidly.
We know the Conservative Prime Minister's propensity for getting his hands on information and controlling the various leaders in various key positions within the government, as well as within his own political party and in the media. We know how the Prime Minister likes to have control over everything. It is easy to imagine the current Conservative Prime Minister making his selection. This week, we saw the control he has in the House, not to mention the Senate, at least with respect to the Afghanistan documents.
Similarly, this bill would allow the Prime Minister to increase the cyclical domination of the Senate by one party. With the introduction of this bill, the Prime Minister is saying one thing—he said he would not reform the Senate—but is doing the opposite. This is not the first time this has been mentioned in the House.
The Prime Minister once promised transparency. What transparency do we have today? You might think that the Liberal Party was still in power. We are forced to track their every move, to ferret out the truth in dribs and drabs in order to get the information to the people and to see how the Prime Minister manages his own government.
Not bad coming from a Prime Minister who said, during his campaign, that he would not appoint any senators. That is what the current Conservative Prime Minister promised in his election campaign.
I believe that the Bloc Québécois' traditional position on the Senate is well known.
Given that I have just shown how archaic this institution is, its lack of legitimacy in the eyes of the people and the partisan way in which senators are appointed, the Bloc Québécois is in favour of abolishing this institution after holding negotiations. There must be constitutional negotiations with the provinces and Quebec in particular. If the government is planning on moving forward with this bill, it cannot continue to do so unilaterally, as it is preparing to do and as it wants to do.
Major reform or abolition of the Senate would require negotiated amendments to the Constitution as well as agreement from Quebec and the provinces. It would have to be decided if the general amending formula—agreement from seven provinces representing at least 50% of the population, the so-called 7/50 formula—or the formula requiring unanimous consent would be required. That remains to be seen.
I do not think that the Prime Minister has thought about that. He said that there would be consultations. It will take more than consultations; it requires agreement from seven provinces with at least 50% of Canada's population.
That said, it is most probable that unanimity from the provinces would be necessary in order to effect such a major change because it would affect matters, such as the office of the Governor General, specified in the unanimity procedure.
The Bloc's position in favour of abolishing the Senate following negotiations with Quebec and the provinces seems to be shared by the people of Quebec, as a March 2010 poll clearly shows:
The majority of Quebeckers do not see a value in the Senate as it is currently configured and a large percentage of them agree with abolishing it, according to an exclusive Canada-wide poll by Léger Marketing for QMI Agency.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage loves polls. A random national online poll of 1,510 adults showed that 35% of Canadians believe that the Senate can only be effective if senators are elected and not appointed. Furthermore, 25% of respondents believe that the Senate should be abolished and 12% are in favour of appointments based on gender and regional balance. As for Quebec respondents, 8% believe that the red chamber plays an important role and that the system for appointing senators does not work very well. Twenty-two per cent of Quebeckers would prefer to see senators elected and 43% want the Senate abolished. It is very clear. That is why we are saying that the Senate is not popular with the public.
Many participants, 20% in Quebec and 23% in the rest of Canada, chose not to respond because they did not understand the role of the Senate. This percentage increases to 31% for Canadians under 45. I think that these numbers speak for themselves. We can see there is no emotionally charged great debate on this bill. We see that here today. It just goes to show how archaic and irrelevant this institution is.
Senate reform can only be done with the agreement of Quebec and the provinces, and the Canadian Constitution is a federal constitution. I think that comes as no surprise to anyone.
Accordingly, there are reasons why changes affecting the essential characteristics of the Senate cannot be made unilaterally by Parliament and must instead be part of the constitutional process involving Quebec and the provinces.
I will conclude my speech after question period.

Ben Lobb Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in the House to recognize one of Canada's greatest tourist destinations. Huron—Bruce borders on Lake Huron and boasts over 100 kilometres of coastline with world-class beaches and breathtaking sunsets.
From the lighthouse tours stretching from Point Clark north with stops in Kincardine and Saugeen Shores to the century old Huron County Playhouse barn, minutes from Grand Bend, Huron—Bruce is the ultimate tourist destination, offering activities for all four seasons.
Tourists can hike the renowned the Bruce and Maitland Trail, dock at the picturesque marinas, experience a play at the Blyth Festival or spend a night at the historic Benmiller Inn. Also Huron—Bruce boast Canada's largest motocross at Walton TransCan and Lucknow's Music in the Fields, featuring this year, Paul Brandt. It sounds good.
I encourage all members and their constituents to visit Huron—Bruce and experience Ontario's west coast.
Dennis Vialls
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, on April 23, Canada lost another great World War II Veteran. Dennis Vialls passed away after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's.
Dennis Vialls was born in Taunton, England, on March 29, 1925. He served in the Royal Army Service Corps and fought alongside Canadian soldiers on the beaches of Normandy.
After coming to Canada, Dennis Vialls went on to a career in the aviation industry, working for Air Canada and Rolls Royce Canada. In 1967, the year of Canada's Centennial, he formalized his bond with our great nation by becoming a Canadian citizen.
Dennis Vialls leaves his loving and lovely wife, Sharyn Cadot, and his children, Debbie, Pam, David, Peter and Douglas. They truly honoured their husband and father by displaying the same courage and determination in their efforts on his behalf as he did standing up for our rights some sixty-five years ago.
Let Dennis Vialls be a reminder that there is no freedom without sacrifice and that it is incumbent on our government to reward sacrifice by honouring it, not only in symbols and ceremonies, but in actions as well.
Montreal Canadiens
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Pascal-Pierre Paillé Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, we were treated to a great game of hockey last night. The Montreal Canadiens beat the Washington Capitals in game seven, the final game of the series, with a score of 2 to 1. The suspense did not let up for a moment until the very last second.
The Habs' goaltender, Jaroslav Halak, gave an absolutely amazing performance, making it nearly impossible to get anything by him.
We must recognize the talent, tenacity and passion displayed by these athletes. While very few analysts thought they had any chance of winning the series, the Canadiens managed to overcome a 1-3 deficit and beat the top ranked team—the first time an eighth place team has pulled this off in the NHL since 1994.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I would like to congratulate the Montreal Canadiens. We wish them the best of luck in their quest for their 25th Stanley Cup.
YWCA's Women of Distinction Awards
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, this past Saturday I had the honour to attend the Sudbury YWCA's Women of Distinction Awards Gala. These awards honour women who have made substantial contributions to the social fabric of our great community.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the award recipients and thank them on behalf of all Sudburians for their hard work in our community. Congratulations go out to Janna-Marie Doni, Gladys Beange, France Bélanger-Houle, Harriet Conroy, Maureen Lacroix and the women members of Waabishki Mkwaa Singers.
For the first time in the history of the Sudbury YWCA, one of these awards was given posthumously to Elizabeth Freelandt, known as Betty. Ms. Freelandt was a VP at my alma mater, Cambrian College, and a well-known community leader. She made a difference to those around her and her loss has left a void in my community.
To her family and friends, her legacy can be seen in the hearts and minds of these remarkable women.
Motorcycle Ride for Dad
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House of Commons today to congratulate the organizers of the Motorcycle Ride for Dad event on its upcoming 10th anniversary.
Motorcycle Ride for Dad is Canada's largest annual event in which an army of chrome and leather fights against prostate cancer. On Saturday, May 29, engines will roar across Canada and I encourage Canadians to take part.
This will be the second consecutive year that I will be participating in this event to collect as many donations as possible.
Donations are disbursed locally to raise awareness and encourage men to be checked for prostate cancer. Funds also go to research and development in the prostate cancer area.
This year, as I proudly ride my motorcycle in this event, I would like to dedicate my ride to my colleague, the member for Toronto—Danforth. I continue to pray for his health and well-being.
On behalf of myself and the residents of Saint Boniface, I would like to congratulate all participants of Motorcycle Ride for Dad and I wish them safety on the ride on May 29.
Health Care
Statements By Members
April 29th, 2010 / 2 p.m.
Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Mr. Speaker, this week flags have been lowered, wreaths have been laid, and we have stood in silence to remember those who have been injured or killed on the job.
On March 19 Labrador lost Eldon Perry in a workplace accident at the Iron Ore Company of Canada in Labrador City. He was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and a long-respected employee. His life was filled with giving and in offering a helping hand. He lived following the simple yet profound ideal of providing for the wellness of his family and community. His legacy is one of action and he has left an incredibly positive mark.
Working in the north is not easy. It has its great rewards and challenges. Tragically, on the day of Mr. Perry's accident, he was rushed to a hospital without even the basics, such as a CT scan. Needing emergency help, he waited 10 long hours for an air ambulance. This is not good enough.
My wish today, on behalf of all those who work in the north, is simple: good quality health care that treats all Canadians equally, regardless of where they live. Our workforce and their families are the backbone of our nation, and they have earned it.
Republic of Korea
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, today marks a solemn occasion for the Republic of Korea, which honoured the 46 sailors who perished with the sinking of the warship Cheonan on March 26.
On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my sincere condolences to the families and friends of the 46 sailors.
I understand the government of the Republic of Korea continues to work with experts from various countries in investigating the cause of the sinking of the Cheonan. The results of that investigation are expected to be made known within the coming weeks. Canada is monitoring the situation closely and awaits the results of the investigation.
We stand with our friend and ally, the Republic of Korea, in mourning its loss. Canada stands for freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
40th Anniversary of the Brink's Caravan
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, three days before the Quebec election on April 29, 1970, we saw the biggest hoax and greatest manipulation of the media in the history of Quebec, by none other than Pierre Elliott Trudeau, then prime minister of Canada.
Polls showed that the Liberals and the Parti Québécois were neck and neck. Mr. Trudeau and the federal Liberals decided to interfere in the election campaign, by provoking fears and raising the spectre of an economic exodus. Mr. Trudeau and his henchmen orchestrated a fake exodus of capital. On April 25, a caravan of nine Brink's trucks, insured for $450 million, left Montreal and headed for Toronto, witnessed by a single journalist from The Gazette, who had been tipped off by an anonymous caller. The newspaper, in cahoots with Mr. Trudeau, never published the photos taken by this journalist, but was happy to spread the story.
Robert Bourassa and his team eventually won the election.
Mr. Trudeau claimed to be a defender of rights and democracy. But we would say he showed contempt for democracy, both in staging the Brink's caravan and in locking up activists during the October crisis of 1970.
The Economy
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bernard Généreux Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal leader has not bothered to ask a question about Canada's economy for a month now, and the last time he did, he proposed to increase the tax burden on Canadians and Quebeckers.
Since March 29, the Liberal leader has focused his attention on so-called scandals, on forcing his members to support the long gun registry and on promoting his book, instead of on the most important issue to Canadians: the economy.
The Liberal leader is deliberately not talking about the economy, because Canadians know that his plan is to raise taxes. With phase two of our economic action plan, our government is acting to improve our economy, and we are getting results.
We are working hard to stimulate Canada's economy by promoting job creation and growth across the country.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, this is a government trying to export its own ideology to the world, flying in the face of 25 years of clear, consistent Canadian foreign policy.
However, it is doing it at home, too, by continuing the systematic hollowing out of women's rights and women's advocacy groups across Canada.
CRIAW, the Coalition for Pay Equity and the Womanspace Resource Centre were among those shocked to lose their funding; in some cases, after 25 years. This House should be gravely concerned.
Research and advocacy are no longer funded by Status of Women Canada, the court challenges program has been scrapped, and real pay equity has been denied. Now, reputable organizations are losing their funding.
In January the former minister of state for the status of women boldly stated that she had the final say on funding, regardless of the formal recommendations of her staff.
In a democratic society, project funding cannot be allocated on the whim of a minister. The Conservative government must end this culture of deceit.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, as the tax filing deadline nears, Canadian families are reaping the rewards of our Conservative government's commitment to lower taxes.
Our government believes that low taxes fuel job creation and economic growth. That is why since taking office we have cut taxes for families, seniors, students and individuals, and reducing the overall tax burden to its lowest level in nearly 50 years. Total savings now exceed, for a typical family, $3,000 a year.
Tax and spend Liberals are not happy. Canadian families, according to them, are not paying enough taxes. In fact, the Liberal finance critic said, "The era of tax cuts is over".
His leader promises a GST increase, a new carbon tax and higher job-killing business taxes. Under the Liberal leader's tax and spend plan, Canadians will suffer and see their tax bills dramatically increase.
Not us. We will ensure Canadians keep all their money—

Paramaguru Sage Yogaswami
Prostrations to his Lotus Feet
It is by his grace that we are here together.
Yogaswami lived in Jaffna, Sri Lanka during the first part of the last century, making his transition to the inner worlds in 1964. During his life Yogaswami gave out his wisdom spontaneously in songs and sayings. He also carefully edited his journal called The Sivathondan "The Servant of God" which was published by his devotees who had formed a small organization called the Sivathondan Niliyam. He also initiated several successors, one of whom, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, brings you this Web site as a part of his service in fulfillment of the mission given to him by Yogaswami.
Thanks to the diligence of devotees who recorded his songs and sayings called "Natchintanai" or "Good Thoughts" and who noted down the events of Yogaswami's life, we have a body of work of inestimable spiritual value. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami is committed to the preservation and dissemination of the sacred teachings of his Guru, our Paramaguru. And so we bring a few of these treasures to the internet, especially as a service the many Sri Lankans of the worldwide diaspora resulting from the war in that country. It is a credit to these people who have suffered and gone to lands far away that they have carried forward their religious traditions. Today, more and more Sivathondan Niliyams are springing up in various nations around the world, to carry on the message and culture of this Sri Lankan line of spiritual masters. This WEB site is a small contribution to this important work--for the Hindu children of tomorrow. May the words of Sage Yogaswami light the fire of aspiration in our hearts and inspire us ever onward and upward on the path of sadhana and service, or, as Yogaswami would say in Tamil, the path of Sivadhyana and Sivathondu.

Meet the Trollsen Twins
After years of trying to persuade Mary Kate and Ashley to stop flouncing around in dead animals, those impish provocateurs over at peta2 have launched a full-fledged campaign to shame the twins into ditching the fur coats and giving up their thoughtless (and persistent) promotion of the fur industry. As damaging as this campaign may be to the Olsens' reputation, it wasn't without its share of blood, sweat, and tears for us—as your self-sacrificing PETA blogger had to watch about 40 cumulative hours of Full House to pull this video together (I still wake up in the middle of the night humming that profoundly disturbing theme song). If you have a few minutes to spare, you should definitely check out the brand-new Trollsen Twins site,* which also features a dress-up game and an online store, then write to the Olsens here to tell them to just stop it already. But first check out Full House of Horrors. It might just change your life.
*This site didn't just make itself—a huge thank you is due to Karen Nilsen (who designed the whole thing), Elizabeth O'Mara (who pulled it all together), and Jamie Linder (who, in the course of filming and editing the video, had to see me naked—for which I apologize from the very bottom of my heart).
Commenting is closed.
That's easy for you to say Ryan, but if everybody thought like you the world would be hell on earth. The Trollsons are beastly and deserve everything they get. Their sick in the head.
To all the people who says this wont change anything. Things are changing everyday. To all the people who wants to and will change the world for the better.
People with as much power and influence as them are asking for it. It's the ones with the money who can change the world. Really there's nothing else these two can do except design clothing out of fur? What is wrong with them???? Some fur farms practice ANAL and genital ELECTROCUTION. It's been proven. The point is beautiful wild animals who should be free suffer suffer suffer. Fur trade depicts horror worse than any horror movie. It's real life serial killers at work getting paid. This is a CARTOON that DEPICTS THE ANIMALS that are KILLED FOR FUR. When you click over each item you see what these women are having made. I do not know where they get their fur from but I learned something about it here. Designers always have people copying them making cheap knock offs. THERE ARE NO RULES IN CHINA. NO LEGISTLATION to PROTECT ANIMALS in China. Watch Earthlings first before you come here and start dissing PETA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP? Gorgeous foxes wolverenes lynxs endangered big cats racoonsetcetera are born into unspeakable suffering for fur. I support the work here. IT's positive and with love that this is made. I find this cartoon very helpful educational and supportive. Congratulations. Thank you for the work you do. BLESSINGS. Keep up the good work.
Very good video…
Peta leave the Olsen twins alone!
I must say that I find PETA to be a very rude and inconsiderate organization. How dare you treat someone the way you treat these twins. They wear fur!! GET OVER IT!! I understand that it hurts the animals but what is done is done. DEAL WITH IT AND STOP BITCHING
I can not believe that people can wear fur that once belonged to a living breathing lovable creature and still be able to live with themselves. It's incredible. I wish people would respect animals the way they respect family or friends. Great job on the video! Good Job Peta for making a stand against animal cruelty!
first of all….mary kate and ashley are not hairy kate and trashley. and second you suck! not olsen twins. bad job!u have no right 2 make a fool out of them. the video was horrible and u r horrible too.

Art in TO, Canada This is pretty interesting! This article and link were from a Harley Forum. It explains why drivers can look right at us and not see us. Read the article and then click on the link. Its fairly freaky how this works, even at slower speeds with larger targets. "Motion Induced Blindness" This is frightening! It works exactly like it says, and is one major reason people in cars can look right at you (when you're on a motorcycle or bicycle)-AND NOT SEE YOU. From a former Naval Aviator. This is a great illustration of what we were taught about scanning outside the cockpit when I went through training back in the '50s. We were told to scan the horizon for a short distance, stop momentarily, and repeat the process. I can remember being told why this was the most effective technique to locate other aircraft. It was emphasized (repeatedly) to NOT fix your gaze for more than a couple of seconds on any single object. The instructors, some of whom were WWII veterans with years of experience, instructed us to continually "keep our eyes moving and our head on a swivel" because this was the best way to survive, not only in combat, but from peacetime hazards (like a midair collision) as well. We basically had to take the advice on faith (until we could experience for ourselves) because the technology to demonstrate it didn't exist at that time.

A tomato is ~95% water (a watermelon is only 92%).http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2682/2
Yup, but, when I have made a sauce and NOT frozen it, there is much less visible water.I still think the freezing process has something to do with it.Mark
For sure. Ice crystals are like tiny little knives slicing up the cells holding in the water.
I will not use frozen sauce on a pizza, once it's been frozen it's ruined as far as I'm concerned.

One man dies in plane crash in Holland Township
HOLLAND TWP., N.J. - A plane crash in Holland Township, New Jersey has left one man dead and officials searching for answers.
Seventy-one year old Joseph Borin died in the crash.
Investigators spent most of Thursday collecting evidence.
Investigators say they collected a portable GPS unit and other items that may show to where Borin was flying.
They are hoping other evidence could lead them to why the crash happened.
People living on Route 627 in Holland Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey say it was foggy, but they heard the plane loud and clear.
It sounded like it was flying low, but at a really high rate of speed," said Ray Eichlin, a person living close to the crash site.
"Not being able to see anything and hearing it, and you knew it was that close, it was pretty scary," said a local farmer in the area.
Investigators say Borin was flying a single engine American Champion plane.
The National Transportation Safety Board has been on the scene much of the day.
"Many times, the focus is what caused the accident, what do you think caused the accident," said NTSB Air safety investigator, Dennis Diaz. "We're not going to be talking about that today."
Investigators say the crash site is near power lines and down an embankment, but they were able to collect a lot of evidence.
"One of the devices is a portable GPS unit that we hope will give us additional insight as to the path of the airplane as it proceeded." added Diaz.
Some believe Joseph Borin was flying to the Alexandria airport near Pittstown, New Jersey, according to the Hunterdon County prosecutor.
A worker there wouldn't go on camera, but confirms the airport was Borin's home base.
The worker tells 69 News Joseph Borin was a decent pilot and a good human being.

Norma,You are a natural when it comes to pizza making and think fast on your feet when confronted with challenges, so I have every confidence that you will succeed with the DKM dough. In line with this objective, I would recommend that you select only one size and practice with it without change until you see the overall pattern of things. I know that you are not fond of math but if you follow the steps (Steps 1-4) I outlined in Reply 180 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13820.msg148347.html#msg148347, I think you will get the hang of things after a few tries. Eventually, you would hope to be able to get the proper skin thickness without having to weigh the skins and do the calculations, much like a pizza operator learns from repetition how to make dough consistently well using only volume measurements. I personally will always weigh things since that is the only way I know what to expect, and to help explain the results I get, for better or worse. It's all part of my feedback loop that tells me what to change to make things better. Peter
Norma,Are you saying that the pan is oval or is it just slightly out of round, possibly as a result of a manufacturing defect?Peter
Norma,Can you measure the perimeter of the pan in inches? Peter
Norma,Is your pan an anodized pan or does it have a coating of some sort and, if the latter, will it be able to withstand the temperaratures at which you would bake the pizzas? If the pan is oven safe at high temperatures, I don't see any reason why the pan might not work for a cracker-style pizza.Peter
What I am wondering is when I get the sample of the dry malt John said he is sending me, what might be the Bakers percents for the above formula for me to try for a NY style 16 pizza.
Norma,The baker's percent for the dry malt is 2.5/100 = 2.5%. Unfortunately, the expanded dough calculating tool at http://www.pizzamaking.com/expanded_calculator.html does not include dry malt as one of its ingredients, only the liquid form. However, you can use the Non-Diastatic Barley Malt Syrup as a proxy and ignore the volume measurements. For your purposes, you will have to decide on the thickness factor to use in the tool to get the weight of dough to use for a 16" pizza. The dough formulation you posted does not say the form of yeast to use. You might have to check with John to see which form is intended. Once you are ready and if you need help with the formulation, let me know. Peter
I did email John last evening to ask him what kind of yeast was in the formula in the pdf.document he sent me. John sent me an email this morning and said he doesnt know what type of yeast was used in that formula. I think I will just go with a regular Lehmann dough formula with a hydration of 61% because the amount of water in the formula in the document seems really low to me. I dont think I have ever made a NY style dough with that low of a hydration. I dont even know if someone tried that formula out.
Norma, From the dough formulation you posted and from the related preparation steps, I would say that the 1% yeast is intended to be cake yeast. So, for ADY you would use 0.50% and for IDY you would use about 0.33%. You are correct that the formula hydration is on the low side. It will actually be higher or lower than 52.5% depending on whether the malt product is wet or dry. The 1.5% oil will also have a "wetting" effect. The dough formulation you posted most reminds me of the original Big Dave Ostrander Old Faithful dough formulation. Peter

People with these job skills can fall into several different categories – Lighting TD, Character TD or Shader TD – but all require artistic sensibilities, technical savvy, a good eye and good problem-solving skills. Other TD's focus more heavily on the programming side of the industry but still need a basic understanding of the art process.
Quite a few of Cogswell's Digital Arts Engineering graduates have gone on to work as the more 'technical,' Technical Directors while some graduates from our Digital Art & Animation program have followed the lighter and character TD career path.

Integrated graphics adapters have dominated the notebook market for many years thanks to their low power consumption, low cost and the fact that they did not increase the size of notebooks. However, in the last two years mobile graphics processors started to get more popular. According to a high-ranking Nvidia Corp. executive, in 2011 there will be more notebooks with standalone graphics processors than in 2010.
The number of notebook designs that support discrete graphics option this year will be higher compared to that in 2010 and prior years, said Drew Henry, general manager of GeForce business at Nvidia, at the company's financial analyst day. Mr. Henry declined to get exact numbers even about Nvidia's own design wins, but the general trends outlined by the company's arch-rival ATI (graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices) and industrial analysts confirm that slowly but surely the amount of notebooks with discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) are gaining ground.
There are a number of reasons why discrete GPUs are getting more popular on the market:
While more notebook designs nowadays physically support discrete graphics processing units, they can also rely purely onto integrated graphics processors. As a result, laptop makers can easily switch from more expensive standalone GPUs to virtually free integrated graphics adapters.
"Nvidia has been successful with OEMs building Sandy Bridge-based notebooks that use Nvidia GPUs and their Optimus technology. AMD too has been successful in the notebook market, especially with their Fusion processors - but they do not necessarily get a discrete mobile GPU attached," said Jon Peddie, the head of Jon Peddie Research.
Still, the success of discrete GPUs in terms of market share may not last too long and the more important question is how high will total available market of standalone mobile graphics chips will get and which benefits they will offer.
"The embedded graphics processors like AMD's Fusion and Intel's Sandy Bridge will eliminate IGPs and due to Moore's law and the slowness of ISVs to exploit the hardware advantages of the new GPUs, cannibalize the low-end (value segment) discrete chips," said Mr. Peddie.

Collorado College Wins Stabler-Locker Cup
from press release
WHITTIER, Calif. – Colorado College won the inaugural Locker-Stabler Cup and completed a perfect regular season with a nerve-racking 6-5 victory at Whittier College on Saturday afternoon.
Senior midfielder Jamie Mauk struck for the game-winning goal with 5:55 remaining, but the contest wasn't decided until freshman goaltender Zach Steedman stopped Mike Neumayr in the closing seconds for one of his 11 saves.
On a day when the offense was held to its lowest scoring output of the season, CC' top-ranked defense came through again. The Tigers successfully killed six of seven man-down situations, including three in the fourth period when they were down two men for 30 seconds.
Colorado College held 11 of 15 opponents to five goals or less this season and did not allow more than nine scores in any single game.
Mauk, who led the Tigers with three goals and an assist, opened the scoring with 7:02 remaining in the first half and Bart Cerf doubled CC's advantage 1:13 later.
Daniel McQuade's man-up goal cut the Colorado College lead in half with 2:16 remaining in the first period and he tied the game 3:28 into the second frame off a feed from Colin Palma.
Jake Smith and Travis Voges gave the Tigers a 4-2 lead when they found the net 2:22 apart late in the second period, but McQuade and Taylor Dean squared the score with 2:07 remaining in the third.
It looked as though CC would take a 5-4 lead into the final 15 minutes when Mauk scored with 1:03 to play in the third period, but Neumayr's first goal of the season knotted the game 53 seconds later as the Poets rallied to tie the contest for the third time, overcoming two-goal deficits on two occasions.
Playing for the first time since 2008, Whittier finished the game with a 36-27 advantage in total shots. Each team put 16 on net.
Steedman recorded double-digit saves for the sixth time this season with 11.
Jon Cairone stopped 10 shots for the Poets, who finished the season with a 4-7 record..
The Locker-Stabler Cup was created to honor the school's former coaches – Colorado College's Doc Stabler and Whittier's Doug Locker – who helped bring lacrosse to the West Region of the United States.
The Tigers will learn their NCAA Tournament destination on Sunday night.

With the London Olympics beginning later this month, international sports are on everyone's mind. This week, though, the spotlight shines on 20 young Americans who are in Moscow for an exciting two-week swimming exchange program. During their time in Russia's capital, the swimmers will mix intensive athletic training with city tours and cultural immersion programs -- all alongside their Russian peers.
This exchange is just the latest in a series of sports programs that fall under the Bilateral Presidential Commission. We welcomed Russian swimmers to the United States in 2010. We have also run programs with basketball, ice hockey, and volleyball players. In fact, a group of Russian beach volleyball players are currently in training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in southern California.
Programs like these help cement the connections between Americans and Russians. Lap by lap, we're building a stronger relationship between our two countries -- in and out of the pool!

|Under the hypnotic influence of the evil Baron R**
illustration from The Notting Hill Mystery
The new issue published by The British Library includes the original illustrations (including the one included here) by Georges Du Maurier, writer, artist, and grandfather of Daphne, that accompanied the first magazine publication of the novel when it was serialized in Once a Week magazine starting on Nov. 29, 1862. The book also includes an introduction by Mike Ashley, who has done great work for Ash-Tree Press, Midnight House and other independent publishers.
Very excited about this. I'm ordering my copy pronto. You can too by clicking here.

Wednesday I had the privilege of meeting this little guy in the hospital. What a fresh little guy! Just one day old.
He's is dearly loved, and he's done nothing to gain that. His mere existence is enough for his mom, dad, extended family, and many many friends to love him unconditionally.
As I left the hospital, I could only think of that fact. Such a floppy little man who can only eat and breath and squawk and a vast community still loves him so dear. What power there is in life and in love!! It's a beautiful thing.
And little Jackson, you are a beautiful thing. Your parents love you very, very much! And, I hope you never forget that.

They do - literally, even if they are both award winners and quite good. One won a gold in this years Cannes Festival for Outdoor. Read more to see the pair.
Client: Rowenta
Year: 2000
Found on: Cannes shortlist 2000
Creative Team: Fritz Ehlers, Katja Kloos, Stefan Herrmann
Agency: Publicis Werbeagentur
Client: Electrolux
Year: 2003
Source: Lion Cannes 2004 (Outdoor, Gold)
Creative Team: Peder Schack, Ole Caspersen
Agency: Young & Rubicam Copenhagen
By the way, this isn't the first time we've seen Y&R Copenhagen in Badland, they also did the grates in work for idle hands, last year. Is it becoming a habit?
* note - the "nothing sucks like an electrolux" legendary ad, sadly a misundersood myth, is clarified in the comments
I think i've seen this before, somewhere 98 or 97, a poster with a vacuum attached to it "sucked onto it", very similar idea.
Oh. It reminded me about some stuff that I saw on Luerzersarchive.com a while ago. Um. Here's some newspaper ads that were made for Electrolux in 2003. "Really really very very strong very strong vacuum cleaner which is very very really strong.".
Client: Electrolux
Agency: Scandinavian Design Group
Art Director: Muggie Ramadani
Photographer: Kenneth Godtfredsen
The first poster is great, the ads kidkie shared are clever too, but I'm not so sure that gold-winning Cannes Outdoor advert wouldn't be mistaken for scaffolding-sheets torn in the wind, a very common sight where I am. Not worth a gold anyway, since the idea itself is dead old. Has Cannes jumped the shark?
Nice addition kidkie!
What I don't understand is that the poster in 2000 didn't win, but four yeras later the same idea is worth a gold? Publicis Werbeagentur must feel pretty short-changed.
One thing I like about both ads is that they use the space well. Lots of ads in those kinds of spaces don't. Which is a shame.
I've gotta say that I like all of the creative. The way they used the media is awesome. It's not often you see creative billboards like the first one. I wish there was more of those around in Sweden. Usually they just blow up the press ads and post them. Intergrated campaigns ('disruption' as by TBWA) is often commented as the new thing (!?). What I've noticed is that most of the intregrated campaigns are faked. Just put all the creative in the same design and they pass. Big ideas where the initial idea/strategy runs through the whole campaign is still rare.
Do you guy's have any examples of good integrated campaigns?
Mini by Crispin, Porter & Bogusky!? I don't have any own references to this one. I've only seen it in award books...
LOL! That's great - I'm beginning to think all of these ads suck. You can't tell one brand from the other.
Thank you - You've just settled a bet in my office ( I Won!).
I knew that ad had run in the UK and not in the states!
... and since both of them are clearly in the 'Outdoor' category... Well.. That is odd.
I love the title of your post :-)
Let me offer you one more "russian" example of these sucking ideas.
It's been done in 2005 and send to the Moscow ad fest!

Make your next vacation a real disaster!
One autumn afternoon in Somewhere, Colo.:
"Hi, we'd like to buy some sodas."
"Well, I have grape, cherry, orange . . . "
"Do you have the marijuana-flavored kind?"
"Don't be ridiculous."
"But all of the reports coming out of your state say that marijuana is now legal, so we just thought . . . "
"Oh, you're tourists ."
"That's right."
"I apologize. Here, have some Dr. Hemper."
"Tastes like ashes."
"It's because of all the fires. Soot gets into the water supply. Makes everything taste a little smoky. The locals have gotten used to it."
"Is there a fire burning nearby?"
"No! They all have been contained by now."
"Can we see some cars floating by in mud? Do you have any picnic tables under water?"
"No, the rain stopped weeks ago. But we still cringe when the sky gets dark. Hail is always a worry, but the mudflows will be terrible for years to come."
"A mudflow? That would be nice. Do you have postcards?"
"It's like you're expecting some sort of calamity. Can't you just enjoy Colorado's natural beauty?"
"Well, we've done that. But we were hoping for some sort of . . . you know, disaster."
"We saw it on TV: Houses burning, plumes of black smoke, rivers spilling out of their banks, whole towns shut down. We want to see it live."
"Yes, but we're still recovering from all those things."
"Oh. We did not know that. On all the news reports, your public officials are always saying, 'Colorado is open for business.' Isn't tourism your top business?"
"OK. I have to apologize again. The chamber of commerce sponsored a 'Get Ready for the Next Wave' workshop, but I missed out. I had to vote that day."
"That's right! You have elections every other month here. Is it true that your government is run by gun-toting crazies?"
"No. We only recalled two senators, probably over gun control, but who knows?"
"Rats! Junior was hoping we could watch a shootout in the street."
"Well, they will have those in the tourist towns, just as soon as we get them rebuilt."
"What about that Crisco guy? Isn't he supposed to, like, wrap a river or something."
"Oh, you mean Christo. We're very excited about that, although some people say it will be a disaster."
"Perfect! When can we see it?"
"August 2015."
"We can't wait that long. Anyone else wrapping things around here?"
"There are some giant hay bales covered in blue tarps. However, we consider that agriculture, not art."
"Will anyone be shooting the hay bales?"
"Only if there are prairie dogs nearby."
"What else have you got? Volcanoes? Geysers? Glaciers?"
"Well, bugs are slowly eating all of our trees. That's kind of like a disaster."
"Too slow. Anything more dramatic?"
"Pileups on the interstates, which have become overcrowded, underfunded ribbons of death."
"Please, we can see bad roads anywhere."
"We used to have howling blizzards, before the drought set in."
"Too sudden. Too prolonged. No, we'd like something quick and deadly — like they show on TV."
"We're all out at the moment."
"Nuts! We'll be leaving now. All-in-all, this vacation turned out to be a disaster."

In short: Caldecotte lake, from every angle.Date of review: July 25, 2011
In short: glorious magnificent DartmoorIn full: My favourite race of all time, and well done to Teignbridge Trotters for taking up the baton on this and doing it so well.Fantastic. Can we do it again next month please?Date of review: June 7, 2011
In short: running along the MerseyIn full: Enjoyed a longer stay than I have had before in Liverpool. This is a great excuse to visit a very interesting city ... wish I could've spent longer there, maybe I'll have to do another.I found the hard running surface (stone, concrete, and paving slabs) hard on the pins, and the four times out and back makes this challenging, but Kaja puts on a great show!Date of review: June 1, 2011
In short: Ultra fun in essexIn full: I ran the ultra and it lived up to the success that has built up around the marathon. I almost missed the start due to long queues for the one stall in the gents changing area ... portaloos might be in order now. But once going it was fantastic .... and the sun always seems to come out for the Halstead Marathon and now the Ultra too! I am sure there were more hills this year than I remember from previous events?!!!!!Date of review: May 11, 2009
In short: well-organised new race In full: Well done to the organisers ... I thought that this went very smoothly and I really enjoyed the off-road tracks around this bit of rural Cambridgeshire.Date of review: April 6, 2009
In short: organisers had the best interests of the runners in mindIn full: it was a tough call, but they should be respected for making it. Sorry for all the people whose hopes were dashed by the ice and overturned car.Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: tough but rewardingIn full: Fantastic day again on the round trip from Princetown. Wonderful scenery, great marshalling and support, faultless organisation, plus free massage at the end. Who could ask for meDate of review: June 7, 2008
In short: East Lothian coastal marathonIn full: an o.k.-ish course, but some failings that could be rectified. More expensive that London without the free public transport, the water stations every mile, and the portaloos en route. Where toilet facilities were available they were at the relay changeovers, so of no use to the runners on the course (who wants to join a 25m long queue when you're running a race?). Spectators/supporters should be kept out of areas like the baggage drop off zone and loo queues at the start ... the road up to the start was blocked with crowds, many of whom were friends and family, not runners. The baggage collection could be better prepared ... since race numbers are allocated on expected finish time it is kinda predictable that everyone in the reclaim area is trying to get their bags from exactly the same place. This is simple to avoid by removing the correlation between race number and predicted time. The showers at the school were excellent ... many thanks to the helpful pupils. The queue for the bus home looked awful, we took a local bus that was full and therefore couldn't pick anyone else up on the long route between musselburgh and princes street ... I imagine many of the locals who had been waiting hours at the bus stops (being refused entry to successive buses) were a little p--ed off by that, and would have their own opinions on the marathon.Date of review: May 26, 2008
In short: Smooth running on a hot dayIn full: A very well run event, that made things as easy as possible on a very warm day. The heat meant it was never going to be a fast time this year, but beautiful countryside to run throughDate of review: May 11, 2008
In short: tour of scenic King's LynnIn full: I was pleased as my watch told me I have a new PB. The "chip" timing seemed quite inaccurate in comparison, and significantly slower. But still a PB, so that's ok. Timing problems need sorting.Date of review: May 4, 2008

Topic: Editors for OS X 10.3 and below
TextMate and RadRails both require a minimum of OS X 10.4. I'm on 10.3, and I've been using TextWrangler (the free version of BBEdit) for my main text editor. But it has no knowledge of Ruby beyond syntax highlighting, and I'm really missing things like integrated documentation and auto-completion. Is there anyone out there using a good editor or IDE that runs on 10.3? I'd even try old builds of software that's transitioned 10.4 and above, but they can be hard to find. I had to download RadRails to figure out it required 10.4, because that information wasn't anywhere I could find on their website.

TrialNet E-News Current Issue (Summer 2014)
Teplizumab Prevention Study Now Open to Younger Children
TrialNet's Teplizumab Prevention Study is now enrolling children as young as 8 years old. Previously, the study was limited to those ages 16 to 45.
The study will determine whether the drug Teplizumab can stop or slow down the disease process in individuals with the highest risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Those eligible for the study have a 75 percent or more chance of developing the disease in the next five to six years. In earlier studies, Teplizumab has shown promise in preserving insulin production in people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes: Screening and observing relatives of people with type 1 diabetes to learn more about how the disease occurs.
Oral Insulin for Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes Study: Testing whether a daily oral insulin capsule can prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in at-risk relatives of people with the disease.
Teplizumab Anti-CD3 Prevention Study: Testing whether Teplizumab can stop or slow down the autoimmune reaction that is destroying beta cells in people who are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
From Coast to Coast, Kids Join Teplizumab Prevention Study to Help Find Answers
Fourteen-year-old Dillon Berg, of Kent, Washington, is participating in the Teplizumab Prevention Study at Benaroya Research Institute in Seattle. Because brother Aiden, 11, and sister Heather, 18, were diagnosed with the disease years earlier, mother Toni had been especially interested in getting Dillon screened by TrialNet.
Ten-year-old Zach Clinton of Gastonia, North Carolina, was first screened by TrialNet at a JDRF event at a North Carolina amusement park. When his results signaled an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes, mother Ziana said their first reaction was, "Kid number two—here we go." Their son Ryan, age 12, was diagnosed three years earlier. He was the one who talked Zach into being screened.
November is American Diabetes Month
During American Diabetes Month 2012, the American Diabetes Association encourages Americans to share "A Day in the Life of Diabetes" by uploading a personal image on their Facebook page to show what the daily life of diabetes means to them. For every photo/image uploaded, CVS/pharmacy will donate $1.00 to the American Diabetes Association, up to $25,000.
Learn how you can share your personal image and story during American Diabetes Month by visiting:
November 14 is World Diabetes Day
World Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat that diabetes now poses. The campaign draws attention to issues of paramount importance to the diabetes world and keeps diabetes firmly in the public spotlight. The campaign features a new theme each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community.

How does the clinic protect my confidential health information?
Patient health records are not maintained by, nor accessible to, anyone at UNH/USNH or elsewhere outside of the Employee Clinic, who does not have a need to know, unless you give your consent. All of your visits, and the information contained in your electronic health record, are kept confidential. We maintain a strict policy on confidentiality in compliance with Federal and New Hampshire state laws, to safeguard the privacy and security of your health information. We follow the same legal requirements and professional codes of ethics as your primary care physician or hospital.
As with all medical providers there are some instances in which we can be required to disclose information that is generally confidential. For example, even without your consent, our clinical staff is legally obligated to report certain disclosures that you may make. For instance:
- if there is a serious threat of physical violence to yourself or a third party or a serious threat of substantial damage to real property;
- if there is reason to suspect that a minor child or an incapacitated adult is being or has been subjected to abuse or neglect;
- if you report any information about an incident of student hazing involving yourself or others;
- if Health Services receives a valid subpoena or court order requiring the disclosure of all or some part of your health record; or,
- if any staff member knowingly renders treatment or assistance to you for a gunshot wound or any other injury believed to have been caused by a criminal act.
In those rare instances where it is necessary for Health Services to disclose information relating to your care without your permission, we will make every effort to fully discuss it with you before taking any action.
For additional information regarding uses and disclosure of your health information, please see our notice on Privacy Practices.

The co-pay for UNH HPHC members is $10, for other insurance/plan co-payments please refer to your ID card or call your insurance carrier.
How can I pay for services not covered by insurance or if I don't have insurance?
You can pay with cash, check, credit card (Master Card, Discover or Visa) or Cat's Cache. You may also use your flexible spending account (FSA).

Breeding dogs is generally not recommended because of the extremely high number of homeless puppies and dogs across America. According to the ASPCA, it is impossible to estimate how many homeless pets there are in the U.S., but experts believe there are about 40 million stray cats alone. There are also certain complications that can occur during dog pregnancy that might deter you from breeding your dog.
Eclampsia in dogs is one emergency medical condition that can happen in nursing mothers. It is characterized by a life-threatening drop in the canine's calcium levels. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, this condition typically occurs when the puppies are between one and five weeks of age. This is when the mother is producing the most milk. Eclampsia does not occur due to a lack of calcium, but instead is the effect of a nursing female being unable to use her body's calcium stores effectively.
This condition requires immediate veterinary attention, so it is important you know the clinical signs that may indicate your dog has had a drop in her calcium. If your dog is experiencing restlessness, pacing, tremors, weakness, stiff limbs or an inability to stand or walk, bring her to the veterinarian immediately for emergency care.
You can prevent this condition by feeding a high-quality diet specifically formulated for pregnant and nursing mothers. Supplementation with calcium or calcium-rich foods is actually not recommended as it can make eclampsia worse. If you have concerns, your veterinarian can also monitor your dog's calcium levels. Of course, spaying and neutering your pets will eliminate the likelihood that you'll be caring for a nursing mother any time soon.
