>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Very well organised and great fun - but hard!In full: I really enjoyed this. Very well organised. Great pre-race pasta party the evening before, and a cracking good ceilidh on the Sunday night. Race tougher than I expected but that may have been down to an ongoing injury of mine. Lovely setting, great atmosphere, lots of lovely food afterwards and great T-shirt and buff in goody bag. Even the weather was good! Well done the organisers.Date of review: May 28, 2014
In short: Lovely day, but organisation still needs work!In full: Again I really enjoyed the Cardiff half. Cardiff keep changing the route - this time I think they have got it about right, but with 18,000 runners they have GOT to get more serious about a staged start. They have finally got a "pen" system, but they have to make sure to wait a good 5 mins between each section starting. Today there was so much congestion, bottlenecking, colliding, and yes, people falling over! It did detract from enjoying the race. Also, they should seriously look at finishing in Bute Park, as the area outside of City Hall is just not big enough. And where were the alphabet poles at the end to help people find each other? Nowhere to be seen. Otherwise a lovely race, plenty water stops, a great new route, with loads of potential, and a lot of very keen runners. But unless the organisation gets better they're not going to keep up the numbers.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Brilliant day!Date of review: April 15, 2012
In short: I enjoyed it especially for the scenery/route but they need to sort some stuff outIn full: I really enjoyed this, never done a Kilomathon before so was a bit apprehensive, but this was more than made up for with the lovely route. I'm confused by the person who said it was better in Derby or Nottingham - surely if that's the case they should have entered the English race and not Kilomathon SCOTLAND!!! And I do wish people would stop moaning about T shirts and goody bags - surely neither is a major issue, not why we run. Yes indeed organisation was a bit iffy. Ingliston is not the easiest place to get to/from unless you were going back into Edinburgh on the shuttle buses and many of us were not. Toilets too - not nearly enough at the start - what's more the portaloos I went to had no water! Apart from that, I had a lovely morning, over the Forth bridge and back, raised a good sum for charity and will probably do it again if they can get the organisation sorted out.Date of review: April 18, 2011
In short: Brilliant as usual!In full: Superb race as it always is. Perfect conditions, esp the weather. Bit of a bummer that we can't use the school as that means a real trek to and from start/finish. Also the Amber Bar is a bit small and chaotic, but none of that is the fault of Lliswerry Runners, who did a grand job yet again. Must add that I was delighted with the new improved T shirt. Back next year :-)Date of review: January 30, 2011
In short: Brilliant day - and great reason for coming home!In full: Brilliant race. It was great to be back home, esp as I hadn't done this one for few years. Weather was brilliant - dry and a bit cloudy so not too warm, then just as the end approached out came the sun - just lovely! The organisation is excellent, my only criticism is that god-awful T shirt! Please - it's time to stop that. No matter what size you order you seem to end up with one that is designed for 6ft tall men. If they insist on doing T shirts, at least have women's fit option, or better still, forget about the T shirt altogether and provide a different sort of memento, like a small towel or something. Other than that, keep it up and hope to be home again for the 2011 race!Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: Lovely morning - great fun, but could still be better In full: Weather was beautiful and that always helps. Very impressed with the new route, a good fast course. Only one or two bits of constructive criticism. This is getting more popular each year, and even with the numbers now involved - in the thousands - there is still no "penning" or properly staged start. Result was the start was messy free-for-all. The organisers need to get serious about penning at the start. Other city races have colour-coded bibs, and it works perfectly. Cardiff needs to adopt that. Ditto the end - the fact that we all had to stop and queue up in order to offload our chips and to get a goody bag was not good. After a long run you need to keep moving and get the chance to stretch - standing still in a queue for several minutes will not do. That apart, it was a great morning, and well done. So do see to those problems and Cardiff will be on its way to being one of the great city half marathons.Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: As usual the sun came out for Merthyr MawrIn full: As ever, this was a cracking good race. Weather and other conditions perfect. The sand dunes were hellish as always, the 3 deep pools we had to wade through near the end were icy - as expected! Only down side is that this race is becoming a victim of its own success. It's got too big, and I'm not sure a village the size of Merthyr Mawr can cope with th influx of traffic. Some more planning is needed - either limit the numbers drastically to perhaps 400, or try to encourage those attending to ensure there is at least 2 people in each car. That tiny lane to the village can't accommodate the level of traffic we saw today. Otherwise excellent as usualDate of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Getting better!In full: Really enjoyed it this year - better than previous. The new route is far, far better than before. Only downsides relate to organisation - the baggage place was, as others have already said, really dire, with schoolkids doing their best - that's just not on! Also, it was very congested. I found myself bumping into people a bit too often. As someone has already pointed out, I know the organisers have ambitions to increase the numbers further, but it's hard to see how Cardiff can accommodate any more. All that said, well done and I'll be back again.Date of review: October 18, 2009

Yep. 46 sexual assaults and that's only what is reported.
As liberal as Maher is, he has the lie of cultural relativity thing down.
But yeah, let's take a theocratic society with a culture of sexual repression and mysogyny and declare it ripe for western style democracy. And those are the "good" guys opposing the muslim mafia errrrr brotherhood.
That POV is bananas even prima facia if you can think yourself out of a paper bag. I suspect not even the neo-cons really believe it, but it's a great myth to install a corporate freindly government on the backs of US fighting mena nd women and trillions of our tax dollars.
OTOH, who in their right mind goes there as a female white reporter?

Chief executive officer of Nintendo Corp. said in an interview that amid the global economic slump and rather slowly growing U.S. market of consumer electronics, Nintendo Wii and DS video game consoles managed to demonstrate exceptionally strong market performance. Apparently, Nintendo's partners sold about 800 thousand Wiis to end-users during Thanksgiving week.
According to Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo, sales of Nintendo Wii on the Thanksgiving week more than doubled from last year's 350 thousand units to 800 thousand systems. Shipments of Nintendo DS portable game console also increased 20% year-over-year during the same timeframe, according to Mr. Iwata.
"When the economy is strong, people tend to buy three things from the top of their wish list. But when things are bad, people often buy only the first thing on their list. Fortunately for us a lot of shoppers put our products at the top of their list," the head of Nintendo said in a brief interview with Reuters news-agency.
Earlier this month Microsoft Corp. implied that it sold roughly 390 thousand of Xbox 360 systems during the Black Friday/Thanksgiving week, or 25% more compared to the same period last year. The software giant also indicated that its X360 outsold Sony PlayStation 3 by 3:1 ratio.
It is interesting to note that last year Nintendo Wii was the most affordable new-generation video game system with $249 price-point, however, this year Microsoft sells its Xbox 360 Arcade system for $199 and it still has not managed to outsell more expensive Wii.

Ghosts don't have a prayer against their panty pistols and stocking swords, and if this debaucherous duo can collect enough Heaven Coins, they just might get their halos back. They've got a slim chance in hell, but rolling commando is the best way to get lucky - especially with Panty and Stocking!

I'm wondering if anyone has some good ideas about this. I, like a lot of you pu heads probably do, love to hold onto the nei fei along with the original wrapper of the cake. What i've been noticing is it is extremly hard to safely seperate the nei fei from the cake with out it tearing or some layers of the paper being ripped off and stuck to the beeng. Does anyone have a good technique to getting these things off?
I've also noticed that some samples I have purchased (mainly from scott) actually have the nei fei of the original cake included, stuck to a chunk of tea.

G8 and G20 Summits
Oral Questions
2:30 p.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, you will naturally allow me to introduce testimony from third parties, in particular that of Bill Allen, president of the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario, who said that the G8 and G20 will make it possible for Ontario to promote tourism in the same way that the Olympic Games made it possible for British Columbia to gain international recognition. It will not be just 20 leaders who discover Ontario, but hundreds of national media representatives accompanying them as well. This is an opportunity to have the world discover Ontario. This is an opportunity we should not miss.
Oral Questions
2:30 p.m.
Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, the town of Saint-François has undertaken a project to renovate its arena. The Province of New Brunswick and the town are ready to start this project, but for months now they have been waiting for the federal government's share of $250,000.
The Conservatives are spending $1.1 billion on the G20. Why are they not capable of taking 58 seconds to fund this project?
Yes, 58 seconds from the G20 would renovate the Saint-François arena because that 58 seconds is equal to $250,000.
The question is simple: where do Conservative priorities lie?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, thanks to the hard work of six strong members of Parliament on the government side from New Brunswick, New Brunswick is finally getting its fair share in terms of infrastructure spending. We are very pleased with the significant investments not just in infrastructure stimulus, not just in building Canada but also with the great investments that we are particularly making in northern New Brunswick.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Gerry Byrne Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
Mr. Speaker, to pay for the $2 million fake lake equipped with a fake lighthouse, which will guide a $400,000 dry docked boat safely to the convention centre floor, I mean shore, hundreds of historic lighthouses along real waterways throughout Canada will either be shut down, sold off or destaffed.
With that in mind, will the minister tell us how much of the security money will go to conduct fisheries patrols of the fake lake by armed fisheries officers protecting Canada against foreign overfishing by international journalists, instead of protecting real waterways and seas?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Gail Shea Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, I think that should probably have started with once upon a time.
The new Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act is an act that will provide a vehicle to ensure strengthened protection of those lighthouses that are considered heritage structures are maintained.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Daniel Paillé Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, the financial world, hosted by Quebec's AMF, is meeting in Montreal.
All of the securities regulators are there. The attendees, including Paul Volcker, the presidents of the securities commissions in Australia and the United States—the SEC—and the presidents of France's AMF and of Standard and Poor's, all recognize the AMF and provincial securities commissions as THE Canadian partner on the international stage.
Why does the Minister of Finance not do likewise?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, when it comes to securities commissions, we will respect provincial jurisdiction. This is a new, voluntary system for Canada's provinces. As I said, we will respect provincial jurisdiction.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Daniel Paillé Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, the international players have made up their minds, and the current system is working.
The AMF and other commissions have signed international agreements with France and the United Arab Emirates concerning co-operation between regulators as well as mobility of investment industry professionals.
These new international agreements, and we can assume they will not be the last, prove that the financial world has made up its mind and recognizes the worth of the current securities system.
Why is the minister ignoring this proof?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, as I said a moment ago, the proposed federal system is a voluntary system. This is an opt in system. There are 10 provinces and territories that are working with the Government of Canada on the project. As I have indicated before in this place, Canada is the only major industrialized country in the world without a common securities regulator.
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, the chair of the Société professionnelle des auteurs et compositeurs du Québec, Mario Chenart, is bitterly disappointed in the Conservatives' copyright bill. He condemns the government's refusal to extend the private copying levy to digital platforms, thereby depriving songwriter-composers of a major source of income.
Because of the bill's imbalance in favour of American commercial interests, Mario Chenart has this question, which I put to this government: where is the heritage minister?
Oral Questions
2:35 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, we are here. After the last election campaign, we made a commitment to Canadians in our throne speech to strengthen our system of copyright laws, which we have done. We have introduced our Bill C-32 here in the House to improve our copyright laws. This bill is balanced, and it serves the interests of consumers and creators.
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, if the minister had reversed the words "consumers" and "creators", we might have thought he was a real heritage minister.
The SPACQ also deplores the fact that the government continues to place the burden of taking legal action on creators, who lack the means to assert their rights.
How can the government claim to be supporting creators when it did not invite the Union des artistes or the SPACQ to its consultation and it has introduced an imbalanced bill that clearly favours American companies?
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, that is not true. They were consulted. They made a presentation to the government, and we listened to everyone. We listened to the needs of consumers and the needs of creators.
The Canadian Recording Industry Association and the Canadian Independent Music Association said that Canadian artists need better protection against piracy to build a successful digital music market. They thanked us for this bill, which protects the rights of artists who make a living from their art.
Those are results for artists.
Oil and Gas Sector
Oral Questions
June 10th, 2010 / 2:40 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Natural Resources continues to deny reality when it comes to accountability for a major oil spill.
Current rules are clear: corporate liability is limited to $30 million on the east coast and $40 million elsewhere.
If the minister read the regulations instead of sticking to Dimitri Soudas' deceitful script, he would know that.
When will the minister correct this legal loophole?
Oil and Gas Sector
Oral Questions
2:40 p.m.
Christian Paradis Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, there is indeed absolute liability across Canada, but one thing is certain, and my colleague did not mention it: there is unlimited civil liability.
The member should stop scaring Canadians. One thing is clear: no drilling proposals in Canada will be approved unless Canadian regulators are convinced that there will be no harm to workers' health or to the environment.

There is a movement starting and you can be a part of it.
The Positive Birth Movement believes that every woman deserves a positive birth. But what does this mean?
A positive birth means a birth in which a woman feels she has freedom of choice, access to accurate information, and that she is in control, powerful and respected. A birth that she approaches, perhaps with some trepidation, but without fear or dread, and that she then goes on to enjoy, and later remember with warmth and pride.
A positive birth does not have to be 'natural' or 'drug free' – it simply has to be informed from a place of positivity as opposed to fear. The Positive Birth Movement is woman-centred and as such respects a woman's human right to choose where and how she has her baby.
You can birth with positivity in hospital or at home, with or without medical intervention. You can have a positive caesarian, or a positive home water birth. Positive Birth is about approaching birth realistically, having genuine choice, and feeling empowered by your experience.
The Positive Birth Movement believes that communication is the key to shaking up birth. By coming together, in real life and online, and sharing experiences, feelings, knowledge and wisdom, women can take back childbirth.
What is a Positive Birth Group?
Positive Birth Groups listed on this site are all FREE to access, and POSITIVE about birth.
They are a place for ALL pregnant women – regardless of their background, experience or choices – to come together and share experiences, thoughts, feelings and insight about childbirth. There is often also tea and cake!
Some are run by birth professionals such as Doula's, Midwives, or Childbirth teachers. Others are facilitated by women who are simply passionate about birth as a positive experience.
Positive Birth Groups aim to be a helpful part of your pregnancy; a warm and welcoming place to hear stories and ideas, to consider what you really want from your childbirth experience, and to challenge any fears or negative expectations you might have.
To find out more specific details about our group, please contact Dr. Nancy.
Ottawa – Ontario – Positive Birth Ottawa
This group is open to moms and dads looking for positive information about birth and an opportunity to connect with and gain support from other like-minded parents.
We meet on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7pm at Marketplace Family Chiropractic Centre, 80 Marketplace Avenue, Unit J2 Barrhaven.
2013 Meeting dates: January 23; February 27; March 27; April 24; May 22; June 26; July 24; August 28; September 25; October 23;November 27.
Facilitator: Nancy Salgueiro
"Women have been successfully birthing babies since the beginning of time and I believe YOU can do it to. I have had three incredibly wonderful natural home birth experiences in 2006, 2009, and 2011. I have supported many women through pregnancy and birth. I have seen how information, support, and belief in yourself, your baby, and birth can transform women, families, and lives forever."
"For me an empowered birth is one where I am the one who makes the decisions for me and my baby. Where I am in an environment of love, support, and respect for the power within my body to successfully birth my baby. Where I can be free to express anything I need to express; sound, movement, fear, love, ecstasy in a place that my expression will not lead to interference from the outside. I believe women have the ability to create an empowering birth experience regardless of if the birth outcome is natural, medicated, or surgical. When women are making the decisions for their bodies and their babies out of education, faith, belief and confidence in themselves and not out of fear or manipulation they will be empowered. I believe in the human body, in it's power, and in birth's ability to transform a person, woman, wife, and mother."

Topic: Testing a bunch of links with cucumber
Hello all
Before I go about doing this I was wondering if anyone else had a smart way of doing this.
On my pages I have various links (for example, cancel buttons on new user pages, sidebar links, affiliates etc.)
What I would like to do is a quick test of every link which has a get request on each page. Nothing in depth, just a "did the link return an HTTP 200".
Doing a scenario for each link seems rather overkill so I am wondering if anyone has already written a step definition for something like
Given I am on the home page
When I check every link
Then they should all return 200 codes
Or something to that effect.

Olympic swimmers Michael Phelps and Jessica Hardy set meet records with the fastest times in the world this year while winning events Saturday at the Indianapolis Grand Prix.
Phelps won the 200-meter individual medley by nearly three seconds in 1:56.32. Hardy won by more than two seconds in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:06.12.
Those were among five records set on the third and final night of the meet. U.S. national team members Nick Thoman (men's 100 backstroke) and Caitlin Leverenz (women's 200 IM) set records along with Hungary's Katinka Hosszu (women's 200 butterfly).
Phelps added to his lead in each 50-meter leg of the IM. He also won two other golds at the meet, taking the 100 butterfly Thursday then setting a meet record with his 400 IM win Friday.
"I'm very happy," Phelps said of his 200 IM. "It's a half-second faster than I was last year and I was shaved at this point last year, so I'm getting closer to the time that I want. It's two seconds off the time I went shaved and rested last year (at the FINA World Championships), so for right now, I'm very pleased."
Missy Franklin won the 200 backstroke Friday and 100 backstroke Saturday.
Nathan Adrian set his second record of the meet Friday when he took the 50 freestyle by one hundredth of a second over George Bovell in 21.88. Bovell had set the record in preliminaries at 22.15.
Among the other record efforts Friday were: Allison Schmitt in the women's 200 freestyle, Madison Kennedy in the women's 50 freestyle and Germany's Yannick Lebherz in the men's 200 backstroke.
Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso won the women's giant slalom Saturday at the Nature Valley U.S. Alpine Championships in Winter Park, Colo. for her record 15th national title. Mancuso has won four straight and six total national titles in the giant slalom along with four super G, four combined and one downhill title.
Mancuso had won her latest super G title Friday.
Robby Kelley won the giant slalom Sunday for his first national title. Robert Cone was the top junior in the giant slalom and slalom.
"Once I saw number one on the board, I was so excited I couldn't really control my emotions," Kelley said.
Tommy Ford won his eighth national title in the combined, a paper tile combining the fastest times in slalom and super G. Kiley Staples won the women's title for her first career national championship.
Elsewhere, Kris Freeman won his 15th career national cross country title by winning the 50k mass start in Craftsbury, Vt.
Kikkan Randall won her 17th national title with a victory in the women's 30k.
U.S. champion Ashley Wagner finished fourth among women at the ISU World Championships in Nice, France.
Wagner had the third-best free skate score to post the best finish by a U.S. woman since Kimmie Meissner also finished fourth in 2007.
Jeremy Abbott finished in eighth place among men.
Caydee Denney and John Coughlin were seventh in pairs while Mary Beth Marley and Rockne Brubaker were 10th.
The United States women won the senior and junior titles at the Jesolo Trophy in Italy. The competition included the United States, Italy and Russia.
Kyla Ross won the senior all-around while Lexie Priessman won the junior all-around title. The United States also won a combined 17 individual events in seniors and juniors combined.
Rebecca Bross, Brianna Brown, Brenna Dowell, Sarah Finnegan, McKayla Maroney, Elizabeth Price, Alexandra Raisman, Mykayla Skinner and Ross made up the senior team. Raisman and Finnegan finished second and third in all-around behind Ross. Ross also won the uneven bars and beam.
Elsewhere, Steven Gluckstein and Savannah Vinsant won the senior trampoline competitions at the T&T Elite Challenge Saturday night in Tulsa, Okla.
The event was the first of three Olympic qualifying events for trampoline.
Bobsled pilots Nick Cunningham and Cory Butner swept the America's Cup men's titles after collecting six medals in the finale at Lake Placid, N.Y. this weekend.
Cunningham was named the overall points leader and two-man bobsled champion while Butner piloted the winning four-man team.
In all, the United States earned 10 medals at the America's Cup to finish the season with 44 podium finishes, 27 of which were piloted by Cunningham or Butner.
"The most rewarding thing about this season for me was watching these two pilots develop for six months of their careers," U.S. bobsled coach Mike Dionne said.
Cunningham and first-year slider Kevin Ives finished third in the first two-man race Friday then won Saturday. Butner won both four-man events with the crew of Laszlo Vandracsek, Adam Clark and Nic Taylor.
Kyle Tress, Greg West and Lauren Salter combined for four medals in the skeleton races Friday.
Tress won both men's titles, earning enough points to secure a third spot for the U.S. men on next season's World Cup tour. West finished second for his first-ever international medal. Salter finished third in the second of the two women's races.

Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by snowfrog The extra wide padded harness is too wide. I ordered this to replace the one on my Parabody 425. The hand grips are too high up on my shoulders and the extra wide harness is too long as I'm partially bent before the crunch even starts. March 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by n3049m Crunch Harness Nice product for crunches, use limited but if i thought about i probably would buy tricep rope and use a towel with it. January 1, 2014

Here is some more information about the film:

- The story focuses on alcoholic theater owner, Jack (Piscopo) who needs a strong showing for his musical's opening night to dig himself out of debt with the mob. The mob boss (Sorvino) insists that his friends get roles in the musical, which complicates things somewhat. Reynolds will cameo as himself and Christensen will play Jack's daughter. How Sweet It Is, directed by Brian Hertzlinger (Baby on Board) from a script he co-wrote with Jay Black will debut this fall. source

I know I've had more than a couple posts about threads... and it's likely that I won't ever stop teaching... encouraging... showing... learning more! It's just THAT IMPORTANT if you want to learn to make metallics SING FOR YOU!
Expand your creative world 'to infinity and beyond!"with metallics!
Without that knowledge, your fun at the sewing machine... isn't so much fun! Here are pictures of a couple spools I use frequently, and quite successfully. You may have read my previous posts about Glitter Thread (from Superior Threads). It's such a fabulous shiny, glitzy addition to any quilting or decorative application...and once you master the tension and knowledge, and yes... troubleshooting... it's like --- well, putty in your hands!
And... then there is YENMET metallic thread... by far, the best metallic thread I've ever had the pleasure to sew or quilt with! And if you live here in Great Falls, MT... you can get it at the BERNINA SILVER THIMBLE! HEADS and TAILS above the rest. (if I was asked!) And in Bernina Land, they even recommend Yenmet in the embroidery module! That's some heavy stitching!
If they are recommending it in the embroidery module, you know it's gotta be GOOD. Here's a picture of some embroidery I've done, and on JEANS, no less! (Yenmet thread was used in the triple stitching that surrounds the embroidered design from Laurel Burch, and the 'swirls' too)
If they are recommending it in the embroidery module, you know it's gotta be GOOD. Here's a picture of some embroidery I've done, and on JEANS, no less! (Yenmet thread was used in the triple stitching that surrounds the embroidered design from Laurel Burch, and the 'swirls' too)
The "L" was done free motion, with a zig zag stitch, using the "Glitter" thread.
The second picture shows Glitter thread, free motion quilting in a straight stitch, over the patchwork cotton, embroidered onto the surface of the jeans.
- you get to use a 90/14 metallic or top stitch needle.
- you get to sew a bit slower
- you get to LOWER your top tension - at least one or two full notches. I always go down to a 1.0 on my Bernina's.
- best to use a bobbin weight thread (Bottom Line from Superior)
- learn to change out your needle if it gets too hot... yes, it can get hot... metal thread on metal needles equals HOT! So your needle may not be dull... but it may get hot. Switch it out, and then start again.
- learn to re-thread your machine if things don't go quite right. This is one of the MOST important things to do (it's a VIP!) . Metallic threads, in my experience, have a tendency to want to 'pop out' of the top thread lever.
- use a thread stand if you can, and watch the twist of the thread coming off the cone. Especially for Glitter... take it off the top of your machine, and RE-THREAD it! IT IS ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO!
Once you practice, understand, and apply knowledge, functionality and stitching preferences, you can do sew many things very successfully; even those "high maintenance" type products. I've done beautiful zig zags, satin stitching, and more with these beautiful, glitzy threads... and all the silver metallic with GLITTER or YENMET, is FREE MOTION!
and ... as Jimmy Dickens once said:

First you take away my peanuts, and now this? Really? New "slimmer" seats with plug-ins and USB ports and extraterrestrial sensors and insulin portals and, well, OK, you mentioned electrical outlets and ports. You actually said 110-volt power and USB outlets. And then, under your breath, "this allows Alaska Airlines to make available more passenger seats." Is that "Squeeze more bodies side by side to help fight intolerance among cultures, species and social upbringings?" Or just squeeze more bodies side by side to honor the holy dollar.

Due to Juneau's unexpected weather, the Gastineau Channel Little League has postponed its opening day ceremonies until Saturday, May 4th. First pitch festivities and scheduled games will not be played on area fields this weekend due to recent snow. The 2013 Little League season will begin officially on Saturday, May 4th, with Opening Day ceremonies at Adair Kennedy Baseball Field at 10 a.m.
My brief column in today's paper can be folded away neatly and reopened next week. Here it is:

The town square used to be the place where the community came together.
That little patch of real estate where the derring-do's of the past days were rehashed, where grandpas watched grandkids, where parents held hands, and vendors let you taste the wonders of the culinary world.
Much like the gymnasiums of old they were.
You could eat anything and say anything, as long as you kept it off the floor.
You could watch heroes save the day and many times those heroes were related to you or someone you knew or were someone you wanted to be like.

What ever happened to the days when a coach would call you into his office, look you in the eye and just ask, "I heard there were (insert team name here, I inserted Petersburg) players at a party last weekend. Were you there?"
And the coach knew you well enough that any misinformation would be obvious.
If you knew anything, you had better be truthful.
If you were at fault, you had to go out and run around the old dump.
Our old dump had black bears that had become habituated to eating garbage and watching team rule-breakers run in circles.

If you are reading this then the Mayan Fantasy Football League will continue next season, or at least through this season, or at least through today.
Things are a bit better than many had believed.
Dooms-dayers and naysayers predicted the world would end.
It did.
Well, for the New York Jets anyway.
For those of you who calculated wrongly and ran up multiple store credit purchases, told your boss where to hide the Mayan gold, partied like there was no tomorrow, sunbathed nude on your car roof driving down Egan at rush hour.... well, today is your reckoning.

Hug A Ref
Have you hugged a referee lately?
Kissed an official?
I mean a nice hug and appropriate none-tongue 'Germanish bussi.'
Not the group hug with an intention that involves hands tied behind the back, a barrel of tar, gunnysack of feathers and fathom coil of Texas braided leather.
I am talking about the Alaska pioneer hug. Arms wide enough to encircle a bushy spruce pine and tight enough that your beard sticks.
I am talking about the Swedish pioneer kiss. The head bump with fur lined hood, chapstick and facemask attached.

It is a funny thing about miles. And mileage.They sure can sneak up on you.Yesterday I needed a fix.I hadn't burned a quad or pumped up a calf muscle or froze a lung in a week.So I called my "pusher" and he invited me, along with another "joneser," to run up Eaglecrest Road.Those five miles turned into the Black Bear chair lift and a return along the Treadwell Ditch Trail, via one section of muskeg and one still demolished bridge crossing, to Douglas.Five miles can become 22 in little time when you have mileage accompanying you.

I went where bears were not.I had intended to go where bears would be and where I was assured that bears would be in abundance.However, they were not.This was my first "paid for" guided Pack Creek bear experience.I should have known better.My previous encounters with guides on guided bear experiences seldom resulted in my obtaining the photograph I desired.Guided experiences generally stopped me from doing what I normally liked to do in the woods: rolling about in the dirt, swimming in the water and hanging in trees.

ESPN, BabyOkay, I swore I would never use a Dick Vitale "baby" but our boys are going to be on television.And not NBC tape delay... like that other sporting event going on... what is that called again? The Gastineau Channel Little League Major All Stars lost to Oregon 4-0 Monday night but they still have a top record for reaching prime time viewing pleasure.I tried to call manager Storie but he turns his cell phone off due to the amount of calls.

""It's not so much a frenzy as it was before, but in the long term it's going in the right direction." "
Up Front: February 2013
As I write this, the new year has barely begun, but it's already clear that it will be a big one for Business Jet Traveler.
In April, we'll publish our second annual Chinese-language Buyers' Guide, to be distributed to our readers in China and at the Asian Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (ABACE) in Shanghai (see page 61). Last year's edition proved extraordinarily successful and we're excited to be expanding our reach even further into such an important market.
Meanwhile, we're already working on a sequel to one of my favorite 2012 features: BJT's Book of Lists for our June/July issue. Last year, we assembled 14 pages of lists that covered everything from the world's most challenging runways to Bobbi Brown's cosmetic travel kit to six facts about Elvis Presley's private jet. Got any ideas for this year? We welcome them! Please submit your own lists–or ideas for lists–to email@example.com.
In October, Business Jet Traveler will celebrate its 10th anniversary. It's been a long journey–even though it sometimes seems as if the years passed by in a flash–and we're amazed and proud about how much the magazine has evolved. Stay tuned for details about the ways in which we will mark this milestone.
A word about helicopters. It's no accident that this issue includes two features on them–Randy Padfield's "Best Helicopters for Busy Folk" and Mark Huber's review of the Eurocopter EC145-T2 (page 22). The world's largest helicopter trade show and exhibition takes place March 5-7 in Las Vegas, and we'll be there, distributing BJT to attendees. In addition, our sister publication, HAI Convention News, will publish daily editions at the show.

God, Country, Lehman
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The turning point in my three-month career at Lehman Brothers happened well before I began with the company in July of 2008.
I'd been hired into Lehman's analyst class about a month before the sudden failure of Bear Stearns signaled an epic bull-market run on Wall Street was coming to an end.
Amid the turmoil of Bear's collapse that March, I felt it would be smart to email one of the executives who had hired me to let them know I was still very much invested in Lehman.
"I wish I could be there to roll up my sleeves and help out. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my best efforts to the Firm," I wrote from my college email address.
It was a smart move. Why not be on the record as standing tall when circumstances at Lehman took a turn for the worse that summer?
Better yet, I got a note back. Five years later, it stands as one of the better insights I have into what went awry at Lehman.
"It's all hands on deck but we have been through this before. We have the best senior management on the street and they will not let anything happen to this Firm without a fight," the exec wrote.
"God, Country, Lehman," he added.
At the time, Lehman was one of a few banks on Wall Street still reporting solid profits. Except for Goldman Sachs
As larger competitors like Merrill Lynch, Citigroup
Fuld had freed Lehman from American Express
When Bear Stearns collapsed in about a week's time, however, the aura surrounding Lehman evaporated. On March 17, the day of Bear's fire-sale to JPMorgan
A day later, Lehman reported an unexpectedly high first-quarter profit that signaled, once again, the firm would eat the lunch others had lost on Wall Street.
Shares in Lehman surged 46%.
That Spring, Fuld was profiled by the New York Times as possibly the type of Wall Street veteran who could pull Lehman through a growing tumult in the bond markets. Lehman's new CFO, Erin Callan, also became a financial media darling after the firm's resilient first-quarter results and a successful capital raise that included a multi-billion dollar investment from C.V. Starr and $4 billion in new equity.

- Well-Positioned JPMorgan Chase Still Stymied

Topic: Can I use real data instead of fixtures
In my application I have defined lots of roles and rights in the development database. Is it possible to use these roles and rights defined in the development database instead of the fixtures?
Note that I'm using just the standard tests instead of Cucumber or something else.
The major problem is that I can't write an integration test without defining lots of roles and rights in my fixtures.

Marve Impresses During Tampa Bay Bucs Camp
The Tampa Bay Bucs had 57 guys participate in its rookie camp that were there on a try-out only basis. These guys did not get a contract, just an opportunity to showcase themselves to the team in hopes of making it to a training camp. One of the guys who did impress was quarterback Robert Marve. The Tampa Plant High School product zipped the ball around pretty good. Not bad for a guy who doesn't have an ACL in his… Read More »

Toshiba Corp.'s storage device division on Tuesday unveiled the world's highest capacity hard disk drive (HDD) in 1.8" form-factor. The new 240GB and 120GB drives from Toshiba not only boast with record capacities, but also set the world's record in terms of areal density.
The new micro hard disk drives from Toshiba sport 80GB, 120GB and 240GB capacities, 4200rpm spindle speed, 8MB of cache (or 256KB in case of budget 80GB model) and Parallel ATA-100 interface. Toshiba declares 15ms average seek time for the new MK2431GAH and MKxx31GAL HDDs. The manufacturer said that the new hard drives use a new mechanical and firmware design for enhanced durability.
The company's new 1.8" HDDs also reflect a commitment to enhancing the environmental soundness of its products by discontinuing use of certain environmentally harmful chemical substances across all components incorporated in the drive and reducing carbon dioxide emissions during HDD operation.
Toshiba's two new hard disk drives – the single-platter 120GB and dual-platter 240GB – feature the industry's highest areal density at 344Gb/inch² (gigabits-per-square-inch), using fourth-generation perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which was first introduced and commercialized by Toshiba in 2005. Toshiba's experience in PMR has enabled the company to consistently deliver leading-edge capacities in the 1.8" form-factor to support growing demand for the miniaturization of mobile devices to run digital video, photo, audio and computing applications.
"Toshiba's dedication and focus on 1.8" HDD product development over the past decade has enabled us to continually drive innovation in this form factor – from robust capacity introductions to improved performance and power efficiency. Thanks to these continual advancements, 1.8" HDDs have become an ideal form factor for the digital world, where the ability to handle rich digital content in a mobile environment is king," said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of marketing at Toshiba Storage Device Division.
Toshiba has cumulatively shipped more than 60 million 1.8" HDDs worldwide and is one of the leading producers of hard disk drives for mobile applications.
Toshiba's new 1.8" HDDs will be incorporated into consumer electronics and mobile PC products shipping this holiday season.

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the motion before us is a very important one. We have discussed this subject matter on a couple of occasions. Bill C-20 brought substantial debate to this place with regard to matters such as artistic merit, public good, exploitation, et cetera.
The essence of the motion is that all defences for the possession of child pornography be eliminated. It is an excellent idea and we should do it. We understand that law enforcement officers and others who are working to resolve or deal with the issue would be authorized to have possession, but it is those who would exploit children through that possession who are the targets.
I am told that a total crackdown on child pornography is happening in other jurisdictions, for example, in the U.K. From the type of responses it is getting, it is sending out a strong message of deterrence and a message that embraces public protection. It is probably the biggest change from what I can see in the Canadian experience. That is why I believe that in itself it is what we should be doing in Canada.
In our justice system sentences available to judges should send a message of deterrence, keeping in mind the balance necessary at least to try to rehabilitate. In this case, with regard to the issues of child pornography and individuals who engage in the manufacture, production and proliferation of child pornography, just as those involved in pedophilia and sexual assaults, the chances for rehabilitation are very small.
Mr. Speaker, I neglected to mention I am going to split my time with the member for Pickering—Ajax—Uxbridge.
If there is very little chance of rehabilitation, then clearly the emphasis has to be put on public protection. I think that is what the member for Wild Rose has been telling this place for years. It is about time we listened to him.
There was a question posed during the debate on Bill C-30, which I think in itself was a very good debate. The question was what possible public good or merit could be found in something that exploits children? How is it that lawyers actually come up with this terminology? How do they think the public would respond when someone is trying to play both sides of the fence rather than taking a position? What ever happened to a proactive legislative system that addressed problems in a proactive way, rather than trying to be all things to all people at all times? It means that we more often fail than we pass the test of whether or not our legislation is effective.

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, in looking back at some of that debate, another statement caught my attention and it probably is reflective of the attitude of the House. That is that the public good, whatever that nebulous concept is, can never be served where there is a tolerance for child pornography. The existence of that tolerance is really at issue.
I do not think there is any more important issue we could address when it comes to the protection of children, those who are unable to protect themselves, those who would be the victims of exploitation. We have to be their voice. Where is the leadership? Have we shown leadership? How can we show leadership? We have to ask those questions.
I asked a question earlier of the member for Wild Rose. In my experience it appears that lawyers look at these questions in a very sterile environment and a very mechanical way. They do not seem to be very reflective of social and moral values. They do not seem to be sensitive to the victim. They seem to continue to look for ways to argue how to balance the interests of the victim and the perpetrator because of the charter of rights.
Where exactly does the charter of rights say that it is more important to balance the interests of a criminal and a victim? I thought the charter was there to protect the affirmative rights of Canadians, the rights to be protected. How did the paradigm shift and all of a sudden the charter has been interpreted in so many different ways? How is it that we are now seized with the issue of judicial activism?
On same sex marriage issues, what happened in the Ontario Court of Appeal that after hearing the pronouncement of the Supreme Court of Canada three judges could say that the traditional definition of marriage being the legal union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others is unconstitutional? Marriage existed before the Constitution. How could something be unconstitutional?
We are in a spiral. When these issues come forward where charter arguments have been made, it is clear that we are losing the battle unless we seize the day. We need to seize the day. We need to express ourselves in a manner which reflects not only the founding principles of justice, but also which fairly reflects the social, moral and family values of Canadians.
Who in this place is not going to put the interests of a child ahead of the interests of a perpetrator or someone who possesses child pornography? Who is going to balance that?
When the Supreme Court of Canada dealt with the abortion issue, it made a decision to put the rights of the mother ahead of the rights of the unborn child. It was not a matter of when life begins. It was not a matter of was there a child or were there rights for that child. The judges did not decide. They did not opine on that. They made a decision that they would put the rights of one party ahead of another.
If we can do that, if the courts can do that, why can we not put the rights of children ahead of the rights of those who possess child pornography? Why do we have to balance it? We did not balance the interests of the unborn. We do not have to.
If that is the way it works, let us apply the laws consistently. Let us make sure that the rights of children are put ahead of the rights of those who believe there is some artistic merit, who somehow believe there is some public good in what they do. The very existence of child pornography necessarily means that a child has been abused. I do not know if there is a member in this place who would not agree with that.
Why is it then that we cannot embrace a motion like this one which effectively reflects that commitment, that understanding and that support? We all have to support this motion to send a message to those in the justice system, to send a message to the courts so that Parliament, the supreme court of the land will have its views known. Then we can effectively deal with the erosion of the rights of Canadians because of judicial activism.

Don Deacon

Shawn Murphy Hillsborough, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour and pay tribute to a well-known Charlottetown resident, Don Deacon, who died in Charlottetown on September 16.
Don Deacon embodied the concept of service to this country and the people who live here. He gave freely of his time and resources without thought of his own benefit.
After returning from serving his country during the second world war, Don Deacon volunteered for a variety of organizations, of which I will name only a few. He was national commissioner of Scouts Canada, the founding co-chair of the Katimavik youth program, director of the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, founding president of Island Trails, and president of the Prince Edward Island Region of the Red Cross. He received the Order of Canada for his service and was named P.E.I. Red Cross Humanitarian of the year last March.
After a successful career in business and politics in Ontario, he relocated to Prince Edward Island about 20 years ago and quickly became one of our most cherished citizens.
His warmth and caring were legendary and he will be sorely missed. On behalf of this House, we offer our sympathy to his wife Florence and to his family.

Reed Elley Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to a constituent of mine: Anthea Archer. Anthea, along with her husband Darrel, was caught up in the unfortunate consequences of mad cow disease when a reported case in Denmark meant the destruction of their water buffalo herd by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency a couple of years ago.
This scenario sounds all too familiar to beef producers across the country, who are still waiting for the government to persuade the Americans to open the border, and to alpaca and llama farmers in my riding, who, amazingly, have also had their wool exports curtailed because of this mess.
Despite an uncaring federal government and little help from traditional financial institutions, Anthea has been tenacious in her desire to stick to the original plan and, with her husband, build the first water buffalo herd in Canada. This innovative entrepreneurial business will provide cheese and meat, low in fat and rich in protein.
Anthea recently received the Rural Woman of the Year award from the South Vancouver Island Women's Institute. I salute her as a Canadian who has shown much grace under fire and the ability to move on in spite of the challenges she has faced. I say well done, Anthea. We in the Cowichan Valley are proud of her work.
Assisted Human Reproduction
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, for too long Canadian women and their children have waited for Parliament to pass legislation on assisted human reproduction and genetic technologies.
Bill C-13 is the result of more than a decade of careful consideration and consultation that is designed to protect the health and safety of women and the children born to them through assisted human reproduction.
This legislation is all about hope: hope for couples struggling with infertility and hope for Canadians with disabilities such as Parkinson's, MS and leukemia. And let us not forget the children born with juvenile diabetes, who would benefit from research into the use of stem cells to treat these diseases. An open letter released on October 25 by 65 leading health care experts calls on Parliament to pass Bill C-13.
As parliamentarians, we have a responsibility to put in place a framework to regulate aspects of reproductive technology and to act now in the best interests of hundreds of Canadian families who have waited so long for this to happen.
Child Pornography

Darrel Stinson Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, when nine year old Cecilia Zhang was abducted from her bedroom last week, it seemed as if not only her family and her community but also our entire country started holding our breath. We are all praying for her safe return, but Canada's children need more than prayers. They need good laws to protect them from abuse. Instead, this Liberal government has put forward Bill C-20, which still allows the defence of "public good" for child pornographers.
We need to give our police the tools they need to catch child abusers. Instead, Toronto Police Chief Julian Fantino recently told an international group that he was ashamed of Canada's weak efforts to protect our children.
Finally, we need judges to sentence child abusers to maximum penalties instead of some actually getting house arrest.
This Liberal government is totally out of step with the concerns of Canadians in its disgustingly weak efforts to protect what we all hold dearest: our children.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and an opportunity for me to thank a Burlington constituent for his work in raising money to fight this disease.
Seven years ago, Paul DeKort founded Clothing for Charity, whose bins collect used clothing donations. Clothes are distributed free of charge to women's shelters or sold to textile recyclers, with a substantial portion of the proceeds donated to the Breast Cancer Health Fund of Canada.
Clothing for Charity has donated over $100,000 to Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington for it to buy a breast cancer diagnostic machine.
Mr. DeKort has also provided substantial assistance to an awesome Burlington organization: Breast Cancer Support Services. His recent donation of $175,000 enabled BCSS to purchase a secure and welcoming home from which to operate.
I ask colleagues to please join me in thanking Mr. DeKort for his outstanding efforts to make a real difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Karen Redman Kitchener Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, last night I attended a very special dinner, the first of many of "The Night of a Thousand Dinners" to raise money for the removal of landmines.
Every year the Canadian Landmine Foundation and Adopt-a-Minefield ask individuals to host an event around the first Thursday in November. Guests bring donations toward landmine removal projects in six countries.
While it only costs $3 to plant a landmine, it requires $1,000 to remove one. Canada took the lead in the Ottawa treaty banning anti-personnel landmines, but there are still 45 million to 50 million landmines in the ground in at least 70 countries. They kill or maim over 15,000 people every year. The true tragedy of landmines is that they continue to destroy lives, often those of innocent children, long after the conflict has ended.
We as Canadians are all too personally familiar with the terrible effects of landmines, as just a few weeks ago we saw two of our own brave soldiers become victims.
I encourage my fellow parliamentarians and all Canadians to follow the lead of our colleagues in the other place and sponsor a landmine dinner this year.

Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that I rise to pay respects to William Kalleo of Nain, Labrador.
William was a pioneer broadcaster who was devoted to serving the Labrador Inuit. He was forceful as an interviewer, excelled as a translator, and was an eloquent advocate for his people and language.
Whenever I was in Nain I looked forward to coffee and conversation not only with William the journalist but also with William the community leader. He was always generous with his time and his spirit.
While he fought and lost the battle with cancer, his spirit will live on. To his family and his colleagues at the OKalaKatiget Society, I wish to express the condolences of the people of Labrador. Atsunai ilannâk. Goodbye, old friend.

Mr. Speaker, this year, the Réseau des organisateurs de spectacles de l'est du Québec, or ROSEQ for short, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Many vocal artists gathered in Rimouski for the occasion to show the solidarity of this network, which, since 1978, has brought distributors out of their isolation and ensured quality performances throughout the eastern Quebec region. ROSEQ, the oldest and largest such network in Quebec, which began with 4 distributors and now has 32, has uncovered talented artists year after year.
Bravo to this collaboration of artists and those behind the scenes, who have blended their structural differences and their means of expression with creativity and talent and who seem to be here for a long time.
Bravo to ROSEQ and our thanks to arts promoters in eastern Quebec.
