Kitchen Transformation on a budget
A home childcare business, baking business, 2-boys-sports, coaching, entertaining, kids, kids and more kids-the lifestyle of a young family from Chelmsford! They needed a major update to their living space but had a budget that seemed unrealistic. However, the wife grew up here and knew she wanted to keep the old cabinets that were structurally very sound and functional. They have sentimental value to her but were just old and ugly. We had to keep them. So with the client's wishes and a small budget we had no other choice but to look into cabinet refinishing and refacing. A process I was unfamiliar with. Well- the artisan who did an amazing job on the refinishing-(can you really tell?) saved us thousands of dollars to spend on a new lighting design,quality fixtures, fittings, appliances, and black shiny granite tops with a striking glass tile backsplash. The color scheme was inspired by an ocean glass green bowl the client won in a Yankee Swap. (you never know where inspiration will come from) Designers are faced with limitations on every job but sometimes those limitations allow you to produce a product so valuable to your client that improves their lives immensely. There is no better feeling for a designer. I will work with any budget or limitation. There is always a solution. What makes a project like this so successful are clients who knew what they wanted and that they had given me budget upfront. This doesn't always happen but that can lead to other challanges and limits to overcome that I dream about to solve on the next project!

Train, snowmobile collide
MANISTIQUE – A train collided into a snowmobile that had gotten caught on the railroad tracks in Manistique Tuesday afternoon, according to Manistique Public Safety. No one was injured.
Officers were dispatched at 3:30 p.m. to the scene of the accident at the North Houghton Crossing within the city. Upon arrival, police spoke with the snowmobile operator, Alan Hershberger, 64, of New Port Richey, Fla.
Hershberger said his snowmobile ski got caught in the switch of the railroad tracks; while attempting to free the sled, he heard the whistle of an oncoming northbound train.
He told officers he was on the track to guide a member of his party back onto the nearby snowmobile trail. The other snowmobiler had become disorientated in whiteout conditions and drove down the tracks instead of the trail, according to a news release from Public Safety.
When Hershberger heard the train whistle, he got off the track and the train crashed into the snowmobile, pushing the sled about 1,500 feet before the train could stop. The snowmobile was entangled under the train engine. The Canadian National train was not damaged in the accident.
Public Safety was assisted at the scene by personnel from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Dr. Gil Lederman is the head of cancer department at Staten Island COmmunity Hospital. Staten Island will always be historically known as the last place George spent with Ringo and Paul. For those who don't know Staten Island, it is the place that has given us the largest garbage dump in the world as well as Hollywood Screen actor and legend Steven Seagall. Anyway, this scumbag doctor has been milking George's death for his own personal gain. It turns out that Olivia and others have been very upset by his lies and bullcrap about George's last days and his made up story about George staying at his house and teaching his son guitar. And the son of a bi%tch made comments about George's religious beliefs and state of mind in tv interviews. It's in the new RS on page 32!
Hey, scumbag, shut up - Doctors have an oath as part of the profession to keep their comments about patients as discrete as possible. It's a violation of their professional ethics and conduct.
This scumbag is almost as bad as Olivia's own brother in law who tried to sell stolen Harrison memorabilia on-line the day after he died.
To both of these gentlemen, we can only hope for "Instant Karma" to come back and bite them in their ass.

The phenomenal Vaux Hill in Phoenixville should rightly be a Winterthur-style tourist attraction with a Gettsyburg spin. According to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, it was originally a 300-acre farm purchased by James Vaux in 1772. Vaux was an amateur scientist, but a successful and influential one:
At his farm, James carried out scientific experiments in agriculture, becoming the first person to cultivate red clover in America, and also pioneered the use of anthracite coal for heating and cooking purposes. Accounts of his experiments can be found in early editions of the Franklin Institute Journal.

This course will take an in depth look at the law as it relates to housing discrimination in all its forms. It will begin with a consideration of constitutional and statutory prohibitions on discrimination in the sale, leasing, development and marketing of housing based on race, religion, nationality, gender, family status, and disability. It will then proceed to consider kinds of discrimination that are not prohibited by federal law but are widely prohibited in many states, such as discrimination based on marital status and sexual orientation. It will end with a consideration of economic discrimination and the general problem of homelessness in America.

Video Premiere: Charice "One Day"
Charice is back! After her successful debut album, getting recognition from Oprah, and being a part-time Glee cast member, Charice is ready to take it to the next level with "One Day" her latest single and video.
My only gripe...and yes I have one....is the ad at the very end of the video, making it seem like this entire video is a commercial for contact lenses. So. Not. Digging. That. I mean the product placement by Interscope of Beats By Dre headphones was funny and brilliant marketing. This one? Not so much.
So, check out the latest video from Charice...and see if you cringe at the advertising in the end, like I did.-Dr.FB

Looking back at 2015 for the ISA brought a lot of excitement. Having 46 Newly Elected Sheriffs kept the ISA very busy with training and education. While coming off a New Sheriff's School in December of 2014 the ISA wasted no time in diving right into the 2015 Legislative Session. Each session the ISA makes "Protecting The Office of Sheriff" a priority. Throughout the session much of the Sheriff's legislation revolved around the Criminal Code Reform Bill ( HB 1006).
Furthering the trust between the Sheriff and their citizens of their counties was a goal for the ISA. At a time when law enforcement is under scrutiny from all sides of the country I feel the ISA and Sheriffs of Indiana, have overwhelmingly support from the citizens and ISA members we serve and I thank you. The ISA will continue to focus on Professional Development Training during 2016 for the Sheriff's Office.
Membership saw an increase with bringing on 5,898 new members during 2015. Having new members annually join the ISA is extremely important in the ISA growth. As a member please continue to visit this website for information, news and opportunities.
In closing , it has been an honor to serve as the ISA Executive Director of this fine organization during 2015. The ISA will continue to reach out to our members several times during 2016 through the ISA Newsletter and Social Media. Having all 92 Sheriffs participate in the ISA shows the importance of their belief in "Protecting the Office of Sheriff." The ISA will continue to encourage all 92 Sheriffs to take their office to the street during 2016. By educating their citizens about the Sheriff's Office there will be TRUST built between the Sheriff and their community. God Bless and stay safe.

So easy, so good.
Pound of chicken breasts. Season with garlic or onion salt and cracked pepper.
Separate bowl, mix a standard size bottle of Russian salad dressing and the smaller size jar of apricot preserves.
Pour some on the bottom of the baking dish, add the chicken, pour the rest over the chicken. Bake at 350 for 30 min or so.
Recipe in itself is excellent, one we've been making for years. Last night, added 20 or so droplets of Jabanero Tabasco. Wow. Went from sweet and sour to sweet, sour, and spicy. Superb.
Extra sauce is great to pour over white rice.
Quick, easy, tasty.

Good morning Fam! Coming to you live from Lincoln Financial Field off of Interstate 95 in the city of Brotherly Love (except during sporting events). It's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Philadelphia Eagles.

I decided to start this group because there are many talented "Voicers" in Las Vegas... some just starting out... others seasoned veterans... My goal is to help educate people just starting out... as well as bring Las Vegas "Professional Voicers" together!
The Beginner's Workshop is designed for people with little to no voice over experience. This is a hands-on workshop that covers different areas of voice over as well as understanding how the business works. We do lots of recording! We also have many special guests... from local audio producers, studio managers, technology experts, and more! This is a great place to get started if you are curious about the voice over business!
The Professional Workout Group is a positive and constructive group designed specifically for seasoned voice actors. We come together once a month for a three hour session. I have thousands of current scripts to choose from. We record several takes of whatever you choose to work on. You'll get constructive feedback and insight from your peers. It's also a chance to network with other VO professionals, talk shop, talk gear, discuss marketing, etc... and enjoy some refreshments. Occasionally, local producers attend the workout... they're always looking for good local talent! All recorded takes are e-mailed to you as an mp3 file at the end of the night. So, if you've got a little or a lot of voice over experience, we all have room to grow, and there is something for everyone!
Our beautiful new studio is located at 1510 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy Suite 100 in Henderson. Please check us out at www.thevoiceactorstudio.com! We look forward to meeting you!

Fredonia ed board questioned on coaches
Several concerned citizens addressed the Fredonia Board of Education recently about coaching appointments.
Two Fredonia freshman spoke first, asking the board why it did not consider a candidate for the football coach position, despite ex-perience within the district.
Ross Conti, a coach in the district for 30 years, also addressed the board later, asking about the policy on how coaches are appointed and evaluated. He explained he had been displaced from his position as coach in the past by faculty members who did not know he wanted the job.
Superintendent Paul DiFonzo explained that coaching appointments are made yearly and teachers are given the first opportunity to fill the positions. However, he said teachers try not to take positions already held by coaches in good standing.
Conti said there have been times teachers will say they did not know positions were already filled before taking the position. He asked this be improved in the future.
John Gullo addressed the board to ask that a member of the board join a steering committee of volunteers who would like to raise money to improve the football field.
The football coaches approved at the meeting in-cluded Varsity Head Coach Mike Marshall, Assistant Varsity Coaches Robert Brown, Tim Wright and Bill Piper, Head JV Coach Nick Bertando and Assistant JV Coach Kyle Yelich.
The board also received a special education update. The district has total of 33 FTE staff and related services personnel (includes two half-time positions) and 162 total special education students.
A majority (144) of these students attend the Fredonia campus, 15 attend BOCES centers, one attends St. Mary's School for the Deaf and two attend the Gustavus Adolphus Learning Center.
The board also approved the district calendar with the two-week spring break. DiFonzo said he looked into conflicts with sports schedules and 3-1-3 students, as the board asked, and said there were no problems.
He reiterated the change made more sense after sharing the universal pre-kindergarten with Dunkirk, where the only conflict will be with high school students attending BOCES.
The board will meet Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in high school room 636.

Lupin the Third - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine
The Feast of Fools
Episode 11 | TV-MA
A recent string of particularly flashy thefts has been tied to Fujiko Mine, who seems to have taken to sending written warnings to the police just like Lupin does. But if you ask Inspector Zenigata, something smells fishy about the whole thing.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (43 votes).
In short: PB!! Fantastic last mile -downhill and lots of cheeringDate of review: June 10, 2006
In short: Great conditions for running this scenic,varied course. Date of review: May 29, 2006
In short: Friendly atmosphere in a lovely market town setting. Highly recommended. In full: Very enjoyable race in a lovely market town setting. Lovely views across the westwood if you've got time to take them in! My only gripe is the congested start, too many slow runners positioning themselves at the front causing a bottle neck in a narrow road. I can understand why the start is there due to it being next to the historic Minster. Didn't detract too much from a fantastic race, and another PB for me! Date of review: May 26, 2006
In short: very goodDate of review: May 19, 2006
In short: Really enjoyed my first ever road race!In full: It was my first race so i've got nothing to compare it to but I really enjoyed it. The course is very picturesque in places and the support from the crowds was fantastic.Only downside is the narrow streets at the start and finish but there isn't much that can be done about that.Date of review: May 17, 2006
In short: A challenging, scenic race with great support in a welcoming market townDate of review: May 17, 2006
In short: scenic route around the WestwoodDate of review: May 17, 2006
In short: not bad, not brilliantIn full: First time i've done this race, travelled from Darlington, a trek of nearly 2hrs each way to get there, but thats not the fault of the race, good facilities @ the leisure centre & good directions from roads into Beverley for leisure centre, good crows @ finish in town centre, only one small fault with race in that the start was very crowded in a narrow street, a guy was even trying to push a push chair along the side of the pavement @ the start. Probably a good idea if they shut the pavement to pedestrians. Overall i was a little dissapointed with my personal result nearly a minute of my pb, but having done the london marathon 3 weeks ago & giving blood 11 days before maybe a fantastixc result was never gonna happen. Worth a try if you live local.Date of review: May 16, 2006
In short: Good for athletes, daunting and demoralising for beginnersIn full: As a beginner, larger races are much better in that you can blend into the crowd. Getting back into running after a period of injury, I was annoyed to find a police van hot on my heels and urging me to speed up! I only ran 3 minutes slower than my pb - in other 10km's I have run this has been the average pace, here in Beverley I felt like a failure, completely demoralised and not sure that I want to race again....Date of review: May 16, 2006
In short: special race, well organised, great spectator supportDate of review: May 16, 2006

Opposition Motion—Representation of Quebec in the House of Commons
Business of Supply
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, the government bill is really the subject of this motion. It seeks to increase House seats by 30, which would probably give an advantage to some provinces because they have grown and they would have a larger number of seats.
The principle of representation by population, that everybody's vote should count the same, either has to be a pure principle followed exactly to the letter, or it has to take into account variations that come from our foundation as a nation, our special interests within a nation and the aspect of geography, which is one of the key components of our country.
If we were to have representation by population purely, then some vast regions of our country would be impossible to represent because the number of people required to make, let me say 108,000 electors, would be so vast that it would be half of northern Canada. We have already de facto decided that we will make exceptions to the representation by population principle.
Therefore, when I hear members, including the Minister of State for Democratic Reform, talk about it being a pure principle and how could anybody be against it, I want to remind them that we have already made exceptions to it. We have to take into account that there are special circumstances to special regions, special populations, special language groups and special historical facts.
I was attempting to outline that people as eminent as Donald Savoie in my region have talked about the diminution of the influence of Maritime Canada within the federation. I am sorry that defending where I come from upsets people. As a Maritimer, I hearken back to the days when the Maritime provinces were the economic engine of this great federation, and that day will surely come again. If Danny Williams has his way, it could come tomorrow or the next day.
If this federation is a give and take relationship, then we all have to be respectful. I am being very respectful when I say for my members from British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta that it is a wonderful thing that their communities have grown and contributed to the economic engine that is Canada. It is a wonderful thing to support representation by population. It is also a wonderful thing to respect the old partners of Confederation, special language groups and the geographical fact that we are a dispersely populated country.
If we have already made exceptions to the rule of representation by population, the government saying that an exact principle has to be followed in every case does not hold water.
Let us look at our neighbour to the south. Would we say, as a characterization, that Americans are overly generous when it comes to the democratic representation principle, that they would say on the larger stage that they do not care about democratic equality? They have fought wars on these issues. Yet in the United States of America, Rhode Island has two senators just like the great state of California. The House of Representatives is a pure representation by population body, but the senate, which some would argue is the more powerful body, is not representation by population.
Perhaps we have to go back to the drawing board and decide what we want in this bicameral state we call Canada. We know the Senate is either something that the government really wants to get rid of totally, or it is something that it wants to reform into an elected representation by population body, so we would have two of us, as if one is not enough, or we decide we will have one rep by pop body and one Senate representing regions, ethnicities and languages, a historical fact upon which our great country was founded.
That is the real debate we should be having in the House. We should not be debating some government drive-by bill written in a Tim Hortons somewhere with a camera on saying that the government is doing democratic reform now. The government is doing it because in 19 Conservative ridings out of 30, the Conservatives would be gaining an advantage.
The bill that this motion is the subject of is nothing but political opportunism. For that reason, we want real democratic reform from that side, not just another press conference.

1:50 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for wasting 10 minutes making the most obvious and unoriginal observations about representation by population I have ever heard. He talks about being respectful. Of course there is a debate to be had about democratic reform. However, over 13 years, the Liberals did not offer any solutions to representation by population or about any kind of democratic renewal reform of this Confederation.
My hon. colleague fails to recognize that while my province of British Columbia has six Senate seats, his home province of New Brunswick has 10 seats. Of course Labrador, with a population of about 30,000 people, has its own seat in the House of Commons. Of course that will be a fact. Of course the territories, which have smaller population bases, will have their own seats.
The question is how we get better balance. Pure representation by population per riding happens on a province-by-province basis as administered by Elections Canada, but the goal of our bill and of our government is to get us closer to where we have parity and representation in the House of Commons. We cannot have absolute pure. That is obvious. The hon. colleague does not have to waste 10 minutes of the House's time saying something that a grade 6 social studies student knows. We know that.
The question is this. When will the Liberal Party stand up against the Bloc Québécois and ensure that people in my home province of British Columbia, the fastest-growing province, can come closer to having a fair share and a fair set of voices in the House of Commons to represent their needs, just like other folks do?
What we do not need in the House is the member standing up and saying that we should be respectful. He started off his comments saying that the reason why they wanted to have more seats for British Columbia was so they could have less of a voice from people like Acadians and official-language minority Canadians. Shame on him for using those kinds of tactics.

Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, they are not my words. Donald Savoie has characterized the concerns of many Maritimers. If he does not respect Donald Savoie, then he does not deserve to get into grade 7. Mr. Savoie said:
As a Maritimer, I'm deeply offended and if we keep going down this road, I'm worried about the future of my country.
I know Donald Savoie well enough to know that he could be taken out of context. Maybe he is not against the principle of the bill. Maybe he is saying that we have to look at democratic reform and ensure that all the regions are respectfully represented in this nation. That includes the Senate and this place. No one wants to deny British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario the reward for the fact they are growing.

Mr. Speaker, I have been here four years and I have only been in opposition, so to pin that on me is not even a grade 6 antic. That member is typical of the other side. As good a person as he is, those members have an inculcated sense to insult people from the Maritimes or Quebec and imbue them with the culture of defeat that they think they have.

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am glad to see that this member from New Brunswick is wedging a fight for the same reasons we do. The difference between him and I is that I am part of a nation that was recognized by this Parliament and this government. A nation should not be considered on the same level as just another region within Canada.
As a recognized nation, are we going to accept that our weight should be decreased in the House of Commons? Does the hon. member agree that the Quebec nation should keep 24.35% of the seats, something that should normally be a vested right?

Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, I know that, for historical reasons, Quebec is considered an important partner in the Confederation, but this motion has been moved by the Bloc, and the Bloc is against Canada. It does not want a single seat more for Quebec, because it does not want Quebec to have any seat at all in this federal institution.
Obviously, we are opposed to this motion, but at the same time, we are also against the attitude of the government that keeps going against the regions of Canada, therefore against me, and against the Maritime provinces.
Opposition Motion—Representation of Quebec in the House of Commons
Business of Supply
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Alexandra Mendes Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to continue in the same vein as my colleague from Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe and say that we reject the premise of the Bloc's motion itself, in that the Bloc is opposed from the outset to any seat for Quebec in the House of Commons.
Since they formed a party, their primary objective has been to eliminate all trace of Quebec in the federation. We know that some provinces have expressed concerns in the past about their representation in the House of Commons. We are very sensitive to this and we do want, as my colleague said so clearly, to work toward finding the best way of representing the provinces and regions in the House of Commons.
What we do not want is to give the Bloc an excuse to try to divide us in this House on a particular point, without going through a complete study in committee of the overall situation of the provinces of the federation. The committee is supposed to give us an opportunity to put forward the various positions of the regions of Canada and see how we can maintain equity in all the provinces. We are talking not about equality, but about equity. All regions of Canada need to feel that they are represented in the House of Commons.
We are concerned by the Conservative bill because it will result in under-representation of Quebeckers, based on the population of Quebec. We would like to make sure, in committee, that Quebec is represented fairly in the House of Commons.
But this problem—and we come back to this—is not limited just to Quebec. The federation is composed of provinces that are very distinct and very different from one another, with an unequal geographic distribution of the population. However, in order for all regions to be reflected in this House, it is absolutely necessary for exceptions to be made. Our colleagues from Newfoundland and Labrador, our colleagues from the Maritimes and our colleagues from the north have a job to do here for their constituents and their fellow citizens that is entirely honourable and necessary. It is therefore extremely important that this regional disparity, this geographic disparity, the immensity of this land, be taken into account, and that each region of the country be allowed representation that makes this diversity a concrete reality in our legislative debates.
Representation per person is in fact a fundamental principle of any democracy, and that principle ordinarily applies to the lower chamber. In our case, that is the House of Commons of Canada. But regional communities are often also represented in the upper chamber, which is our Senate, the Senate of Canada, where 25% of the seats are currently guaranteed to Quebec.
The Bloc cannot really believe in its motion, because when it was proposed during the Charlottetown referendum that this be entrenched in the Constitution, the Bloc opposed it. To the Bloc, the solution was simply to add no new seats to the House of Commons. As for the Senate, the Bloc does not even want it to exist. They are opposed to the principle of the Senate.
Every election, we have a party that fights to have Quebec get no seats in government at all. We must speak out against this feigned indignation, because they would like to convince us they are fighting today for Quebec to have a place in Ottawa. Well, the leader of the Bloc Québécois has just completed a tour of Canada so he could once again promote independence for Quebec, even though independence for Quebec would mean eliminating every seat Quebec holds in the House of Commons, which is what we want to avoid at all costs.

National Victims of Crime Awareness Week
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Kelly Block Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to share a story of tragedy.
More than a month ago now, a good, honest, hard-working gentleman in my riding left his office to go home late on a Friday evening. At 12:35 a.m. the police received a report of an unconscious man lying on a street corner. When the police arrived on the scene, they found Bob Florence, a loved and respected reporter for The StarPhoenix conscious but unable to communicate. Bob has been in the hospital since the attack. His prognosis is unclear.
After spending his career chronicling the accomplishments of others in the community, Bob fell victim to a senseless and barbaric act of violence. This is only one tragic story of many, and one more example of why it is so important for us to move forward with National Victims of Crime Awareness Week and work to make our community safe for everyone.
Snowmobiling Ultimate Rider
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a young man from my riding.
Justin House from Stephenville was recently chosen as the Bombardier Recreational Products ultimate rider. Justin received this honour after going through a rigorous selection process that saw him chosen as a finalist from nearly 1,400 candidates from across North America. The final stage of the selection process involved a trip to Florida, where he had to speak about his passion for snowmobiling.
Through Justin and the distinction he has received from Bombardier, the Stephenville area of my riding will receive invaluable exposure among snowmobiling enthusiasts from across Canada and the United States. Snowmobiling is a big part of Justin's life. He is a past president and director with the Bay St. George Snowmobile/ATV Association and a current active volunteer. Justin's spare time is spent with his wife, Nancy, and children, Adam and Abbi.
I ask members of the House to join me in applauding Justin on achieving this notable title and the positive impact it will have on the Stephenville area.
Millennium Summit
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, for a fourth year, the theme of poverty will be addressed at the Millennium Summit, specifically in the context of climate change and its devastating effect on populations. The fight against poverty is everyone's fight.
I would like to draw attention to the commitment of teachers from Vaudreuil-Solanges, specifically Marie-Andrée Fournier, Thomas McCue, Annie Perrault, Suzanne Vallée and Benoit Tousignant. All through the school year, these teachers and their students have, on a human level, experienced international cooperation, community assistance and sharing. Every little counts and they have carried out a number of projects reflecting Quebec values.
Because of its values, Quebec cannot identify with a Canadian vision. This is why we condemn the lack of will of the Liberals and the Conservatives to make adequate investments so that the millennium development goals can be achieved.
Young people from our high schools are the future leaders of our society; as such, they will be accompanying me to the summit. My Bloc colleagues join with me in saluting their initiatives as citizens and in encouraging them to keep pursuing their social involvement.
G8 and G20 Summits
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Olivia Chow Trinity—Spadina, ON
Mr. Speaker, the G8 and G20 summits mark a prime opportunity for Canada to show leadership on the world stage by taking bold action to combat poverty and inequality, by making real progress on climate change, and by transforming global economic and financial systems for a fair and sustainable world.
However, with this opportunity comes a responsibility to local residents and businesses in Trinity—Spadina. My constituents are saying, "Everyone I know is dreading the G20 summit. We all feel like the Conservative government has zero respect for anyone in this city. How is the city supposed to function when the police plan on barring people and residents like myself from a big chunk of the downtown core during key festivals? Do armed guards and razor-wire fences say welcome to our city?"
The government must provide a bond now so that there will be speedy access to financial compensation for businesses that lose revenue, and for residential owners if their properties are damaged.
Police Officers

April 20th, 2010 / 2 p.m.
Brent Rathgeber Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to stand and recognize the 100 police officers from the Canadian Police Association who are on Parliament Hill from Monday until Wednesday representing the 41,000 police personnel across Canada.
Police officers are the front line in the fight against crime, and we recognize their importance as we implement this government's safe streets and safe communities agenda.
These men and women serve their communities and their country with pride and dedication. Every day they demonstrate their courage as they strive to protect us and guarantee us the safety that we, as Canadians, so greatly cherish.
In the past twelve months we have lost eight valuable members of various police forces across Canada. I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family members of these fallen officers who made the ultimate sacrifice serving their country and their communities.
On behalf of all parliamentarians, I salute these brave men and women who serve their country enforcing the laws made by this Parliament. Canadians are all very grateful.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (451 votes).
In short: Really enjoyed my first bewl 15 ! Date of review: July 10, 2012
In short: Amazing organisation, scenery and value (on behalf of MattieS)In full: MattieS says: This is my 2nd Bewl 15 run and the marshalling and organisation is even better than my last run.The race is a challenge but just as I like it with plenty of marshals to show the way and copious amounts of bottled water and sports drink, sponges, jelly babies and slices of orange.I did ask Albert for tea and coffee at the finish and, guess what, not only were they provided but free too. I love a cup of tea especially after a hard run. I did save some room for several small glasses of the free Harvey's beer. Shame we did not have the sunshine like last year to sit and relax and listen to the Brass band, while tucking into the cakes. My children adored the medal.Date of review: July 10, 2012
In short: well organised, one to run again next year. Loved the cake and beer at the end. The e mails from Albert were very well receivedDate of review: July 5, 2012
In short: Great race - will be back next yearDate of review: July 3, 2012
In short: Lovely views between rain dropsIn full: Enjoyed all this event, even the mud bath at 1.5 miles, just that rain in the last mile that chilled me too much to even want the free beer or cake!!Date of review: July 3, 2012
In short: Superb race, scenic, great organisation, well recommended.In full: My 3rd time at this event and as always, it is superb. Organisation is almost perfect, the route of the race is varied, scenic and in the last 5 miles, challenging. First 10 miles are relatively flat around the lake and can be run quick as the tracks are quite wide. Great support all the way round in terms of drinks stations, friendly Marshalls and other helpers. Great to have access to changing, showers & toilets. Issues with water pressure beyond the control of the organisers and nothing to do with them. This should not be seen as a 'negative' to the whole event. The range of cakes and drinks at the end is fantastic. My primary reason for coming back again and again to do this race. Of course, the fabulous scenery is a bonus. A pity the weather was a let down this year, which made the conditions underfoot sometimes difficult as it was quite muddy in places.A great range of prizes and a well stuffed 'goodie bag' with a gold medal for the first 100 finishers a nice touch.Great to have regular pre-race e-mail updates.Toilet facilities will always be an issue whatever race you go to. It is just something that we all have to deal with and anticipate and plan for. I've done hundreds of races and they all have a lack of bogs. Shouldn't be a detraction to the event and seen as a negative aginst the organisers.Many thanks to everyone involved in making this a fantastic race and the time given to make it happen. It deserves to be in the top 10 of races in the UK and i hope that it can continue with its success.Put it in your calendar for next year! At £17 it is a bargain.Date of review: July 3, 2012
In short: as good as ever and well organised well done wadhurst Date of review: July 3, 2012
In short: WickedIn full: Great organisation all round, especially the pre-event emails. The course was very tough with changes in scenery and terrain every few minutes. Hills towards the end were more than challenging but managed not to stop. A great atmosphere and friendly marshalls and drink stations. The drink stations were great, offering isotonic drinks and jelly babies. Nice to sink a quick beer at then end too!Looking forward to next year to try and beat my time. Date of review: July 2, 2012
Date of review: July 2, 2012
In short: Challenging and scenic, and great organisation.In full: I have wanted to do this race since 2008, but have had to wait due to having 3 knee operations. It was worth the wait. Great organisation, that Albert Kemp sends some lovely pre-run emails, beautiful run, fantastic support, loads of water,sport drinks,jelly babies, cheerful fellow runners,sponges, cakes and beer! Yes it was challenging, especially with the rain making life slippery underfoot,but the run was always going to be a challenge for all anyway. shame you had to watch the ground so often so as not to slip over instead of looking at the reservoir and its trout fisherman, but you cant blame anyone for that. The race is superb. OK, slight knock backs, abeit slight, the loo's before hand in the college were impossible to get to as the queues were horrendous. Mens loos I mean! I hate to think how bad the ladies must have been. Amd how exactly were we meant to get back to the train station? Great idea having a van pick us up before the start, thanks for that, but after a couple of pints in the greyhound after the run we had a long slow walk back to the train station only guessing which way to go. Didnt see a bus anywhere either. Oh well, did well to stretch anyway. Oh, and also to the others who mentioned low water pressure in the showers and problems with tea in "tasty baps" van afterwards, that was because of a water pipe problem at the college apparently and "tasty bap" van ran out of water for the tea urn. see you next year.Date of review: July 2, 2012

Amy's Kitchen Opens On-Site Employee Health Clinic
WHITE CITY, Ore. -- A Southern Oregon employer has decided to bring the doctor's office to it's employee's and their families.
For employees at the Amy's Manufacturing Facility, quality health care is now just a few steps away. With a cut of a ribbon, owners and employees officially welcomed Amy's Family Health Center, an on site clinic for crew members.
The center opened January 3rd and offers same-day appointments at a convenient location. For some, the concept of an on-site clinic is new, but for others the entire medical care experience is unfamiliar.
Some of the services provided include annual physicals and injury treatments. All at a cost of a 5-dollar co pay. The clinic also has bilingual staff at the center.
Patients are also offered extended appointments to discuss long-range health and wellness strategies. Owners say this health care facility is set to benefit approximately 700 employees at their White City location.

Featured Classic Rocker
Can you guess our mystery rock & roll pioneer?
By 1958, Rock and Roll had exploded onto the world. For his 13th birthday, our mystery musician asked for a guitar. Finding the inexpensive German-made Hoyer difficult to play - it had steel strings - he put it aside. In 1961, when he was 16, he began studying at the Kingston College of Art on a one-year probation. He was expelled at the end of that time for lack of progress as he had not submitted enough work. The reason? Guitar playing and listening to the blues dominated his waking hours. Typical of his introspective nature, he looked beneath the surface and explored the roots of rock in American Blues. The blues also meshed perfectly with his self-perception as an outsider and of being "different" from other people. Sometime in 1962, he asked for his grandparents' help in purchasing a £100 electric double cutaway Kay (a Gibson ES-335 clone) after hearing the electric blues of Freddie King, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, and others.
Still guessing......
In April 1965, John Mayall invited him to join his band, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. With this group, he established his reputation as a guitarist and earned his second nickname: "God". It came from an admirer's graffiti on the wall of London's Islington Tube Station that boldly proclaimed "***** is God." His time with the band was turbulent and he left for a while to tour Greece with friends. Upon his return from Greece, he rejoined the Bluesbreakers. It was during this time that the now classic Blues Breakers With *** **** was recorded. While with the Bluesbreakers, he also recorded a one-off four-track session with a band dubbed "The Powerhouse". This studio band included John Paul Jones, Steve Winwood and Jack Bruce.
Last hint......

Skip to comments.About That 'Permanent Democratic Majority'
Posted on 02/03/2013 11:40:39 AM PST by DBCJR
Demography isn't destinyand assuming that it is will likely make liberals overreach again.
Many are arguing these days that President Obama has forged a new majority coalition of women, minorities, young people and upscale cultural liberals so large and durable that he can do what no president has done beforepursue a very liberal agenda without serious opposition or defections from his own party. Demography is destiny, this argument holds, and it is irrevocably on the side of Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party.
Yes, there will be fewer whites and more minorities in the future, and Republicans will have to adjust. But the situation is more complicated than that.
Start with the obvious: If demographics were determinative, then Republicans shouldn't have gained 63 seats in the House of Representatives in 2010the largest midterm shift since 1938while also taking 30 governorships.
When presidential re-elections yielded realignments in the past, the winner earned a bigger share of the vote than he had in the past. FDR won 60.8% of the vote in 1936 after winning 57.41% in 1932. But Mr. Obama won 51.06% in 2012, down from 52.87% in 2008. Over the course of his first term, his support dropped among young people (a swing of 2.4 million net votes to Mitt Romney), women (a net swing of 1.6 million votes to Mr. Romney), and African-Americans (a net swing 945,000 votes).
And while Mr. Obama may believe he can ignore moderate and conservative whites, congressional Democrats would disagree. Mr. Obama won Florida by a razor-thin 74,309 votes (0.9% of the total), yet Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson won re-election by 1,065,184 votes, or 13%, many from white voters. In North Dakota, Democrat Heidi Heitkamp won a Senate seat by less than 1% while Mr. Obama lost by 20%, and in West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin won re-election by 24% while Mr. Obama lost by 27%. Such Democrats from swing states or districts will be uncomfortable with Mr. Obama's strategy of playing to his party's left wing.
The ideological composition of the American electorate hasn't changed dramatically. Self-identified liberals were 25% of voters in 2012 and 23% in 2008. Conservatives were 35% of voters in 2012 and 34% in 2008.
By some measures, voters are less liberal today than they were four years ago. In the 2008 exit poll, 51% said "government should do more to solve problems" while 43% felt "government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals." In 2012, 43% said "government should do more" and 51% believed "government is doing too many things." While 44% wanted ObamaCare "expanded or left as is," 49% wanted to "repeal some or all of it."
Another sign that Mr. Obama hasn't fundamentally changed America's political structure: Compared with 2008, there were 371,800 fewer white votes cast in Ohio in 2012, when Mr. Obama carried the state by 166,214 votes. Many whites who voted for him in 2008 couldn't bring themselves to do so again or to vote for Mr. Romney. Their staying home represented a tactical victory for Mr. Obama, not a strategic realignment.
Nor can Democrats count on young people forever remaining Democrats. Voters age 18-29 were those most likely to move away from Mr. Obama between 2008 and 2012, and Republican identification generally increases as people graduate college, start work and begin families. Of those who were 18-29 years old in the 1972 election, 47% were Democrats, 26% Republicans and 28% independents. By 2012, these same voters (now ages 58-69) were roughly 37% Democratic, 34% Republican and 29% independent. They backed Mr. Romney by 51%-47%.
Does anyone think every future Democratic candidate will enjoy the unusually high African-American turnout and victory margin of Mr. Obama?
Even among Hispanics, Mr. Obama hasn't locked things up. While Mr. Romney received only 27% of Hispanic votes nationwide, he received 32% in the seven battleground states with exit polling (including 42% in Ohio) and attracted more Hispanic votes than John McCain did in 2008 in California (by 8%) and Nevada (5%).
Republicans have a perception problem with Hispanics, but the GOP earned 44% of Hispanic votes in 2004 and can do so again with the right policies, many more Hispanic candidates and better messaging.
The major impediment is the harsh rhetoric of some Republicans regarding immigration. The solution is less about policy than about respect for the Hispanic community. If federal immigration law is reformed with substantial Republican supportincluding for a long and demanding but achievable process of earning legal statusthe GOP can consistently earn 35%-40% among Hispanics. Having Sen. Marco Rubio as the GOP spokesman on immigration issues will hasten the GOP recovery.
Demography isn't destiny because nothing is permanent in politicsand Democrats' insistence to the contrary will likely lead them to overreach, ignoring issues such as jobs, anemic growth and deficits in order to tackle gun control and climate change. That would be good for Republicans. Governing from the hard left sunk Democrats in 2010 and would cost them again in 2014.
I can't hear you, Karl.
Well, if you can convince people that the current batch of RINOs ARE Conservatives, then I guess you've got it pegged, Karl.
I am, however, VERY proud of Wisconsin. We OWN it, now. If we can hang on and NOT shoot ourselves in the foot, life in The Dairy State will be grand! :)
Half pay no federal income taxes, thus no skin in the game. Advantage to the tax and spend Rats.
Half receive government money. Advantage to the big-government socialist-spending Rats.
Most people today are informed (misinformed) by entertainment, far leftwing media, and Rat lies. Advantage Rats.
Amnesty will add millions more voters with a track record of Rat voting. Advantage Rats.
The GOP establishment RINO liberals are even more worthless. Advantage Rats.
Vote fraud has been finely honed. Advantage Rats.
>Many whites who voted for him in 2008 couldn't bring themselves to do so again or to vote for Mr. Romney. Their staying home represented a tactical victory for Mr. Obama, not a strategic realignment.<
Either way, the country got screwed and took many steps backward.
I am so happy that I'm old enough to know what it was like when America was still America. I look at my kds and grandchild and I feel a deep sadness flowing over me.
I read a few sentences, but when I saw it was written by Karl Rove, I stopped reading it. This pos does not say anything I want to hear.
Add free food to a cage of rats and the population will expand till the cage is full of rats. Cut off the food, and the rats will eat each other till the cage is empty.
Hand out money till its worthless in a welfare state and the same thing happens. Cities fill with rats...
Advantage, rats, for a short while. Then everything goes Galt on ya and the blood flows. Advantage then, those who can support themselves, cause now they dont have to feed rats...
Philadelphia, NYC, Chicago, Cleveland, Camden, Detroit.
90% of blacks vote for Obama. 117 electoral votes decided by racism.
The RATS perceived war on women didn't work. The war on gays didn't work. The war on Latinos didn't work. What worked for the Democrats was ignorance and reverse racism.
It's a fact of life that RINOS will never address.
"The major impediment is the harsh rhetoric of some Republicans regarding immigration. The solution is less about policy than about respect for the Hispanic community. If federal immigration law is reformed with substantial Republican supportincluding for a long and demanding but achievable process of earning legal statusthe GOP can consistently earn 35%-40% among Hispanics. Having Sen. Marco Rubio as the GOP spokesman on immigration issues will hasten the GOP recovery"
I appreciate that K Rove has been in the business of political analysis for a long time, however, as one who makes a living analyzing data and designing successful strategies for moving forward, there are a lot of assumptions in Mr. Rove's analysis that demand scrutiny. What evidence is there that Repubs have "harsh rhetoric" on immigration? I understand that Repubs want a properly managed immigration system, including border management that protects Americans from harm. I also understand that millions of people violate US law regarding immigration while people who follow US laws in many areas of life are concerned about their own treatment. Is there something harsh about these views? Is harshness actually part of Repub statements or is it simply a propaganda message created by non-Repubs? If you don't know the difference, I don't think your recommendations, Mr Rove, are well-founded.
Also, and perhaps more directly related to your predictions regarding future Repub election success, what evidence do you have that immigration legislation led by Repubs will lead to increased votes from Hispanics? And, if it leads to even 45% Hispanic votes for Repubs, isn't that still a minority percentage, Mr Rove? Don't you need 50+% of the votes to win? Will adding 11 million new voters and gaining 5million Repub votes be a victory, Mr Rove, if there are 6 million Dem votes? Consider the math Mr Rove.
I notice, Mr Rove, that you emphasize demographics and voter percentages. Missing is an explanation of WHY voters in the groups you identify voted the way they did. Why did they change their votes over the years? I am not so much interested in superficial percentages as I am in the reasons people vote the way they do. Write an article about the "why's" of voting, and I will be much more interested. Lots of the election results would have differed if a larger percentage of eligible voters actually voted—you could change a lot and win a lot of elections if you find out how to motivate voters.
In Rove-speak, that means "if the Republican Party would just move more to the left".
Shut up, Karl.
As long as you are advising the Repukelicans, and they're stupid enough to listen to you, there will continue to be a communist majority voted in to office, you ignorant, RINO-loving, bloviating dumba$$.
Morality is destiny.
That is presupposing there aren't factors outside in the world's wings waiting to move in and take advantage of such discord. It's a bad route.
It would be better to get a handle on it sooner. Very easily solved problem with a just system of voting -- "just" being that Americans who are charity cases to the government recuse themselves from voting. A nasty, hard, fight, but a just one.
The first debate where Obama looked like an idiot should have clinched the election for Romney, but his idiot advisers didn't press home the attack and we all know the results.
With the right candidate the GOP can sweep the election in 2016 especially if he or she runs like Reagan on the misery index and "Are you better off?". The next four years of Obama will be a disaster and I hope even some of the low information voters realize their mistake and will want change.
What I fear is that Obama will gain total control of the media by killing talk radio, muzzling Fox News and censoring the Internet. Then we will be in a dictatorship.
"In Rove-speak, that means "if the Republican Party would just move more to the left".
Yup. What he's saying is "press 2 for Spanish and visit your local welfare office."
I have read about and heard about a lot of former Republicans changing their affiliation from Republican to Unaffiliated after the last election. I am one of them. And it makes sense. If these voters wanted to vote for a Democrat, there is already one on the ticket. No need for your party to nominate their own like happened in 2012.
I heard many of these people say that the GOP will notice these defections and change in order to bring back the disenfranchised. Unfortunately, I believe the GOP will notice and will change. It won't be a change to draw these voters back. It will be a change to draw the Hispanic, minority, feminist, and takers. The GOP will move towards being a slightly more business friendly version of the Democratic party.
I've said it before: RINO's are no longer the Republicans who act like Democrats. The Republicans who act like Democrats are the majority of the caucus, at least on the Federal level. The RINOs are now the ones who are conservative.
Every year 2.5 million (mostly white, mostly old, 65% R voting) people die.
And are replaced by (mostly minority, >70% D voting) people.
Decades of "progressive" education, liberal control of internet media, and onslaught of illegals makes the future a real struggle.
Obama's majority coalition is likely based on information-starved voters as much as the decision to get an abortion is based, in probably many cases, on the intentional lack of information about health and psychological risks in getting an abortion imo.
In other words, many women, minorities and young people evidently do not understand that Obama and the Democrats, but also including Republicans, have been establishing federal spending programs outside the framework of the Constitution, many social programs based on wrongly ususped state powers.
While I never agreed with the ,"Romney's no different from Barry", school of thought, a lot of people did and they simply stayed home. In contrast, there was a lot of excitement in the 2010 midterms, with grass roots Tea Party organizations, so conservatives came out in droves. In other words, Karl, your side (the RNC/RINO) wing of the party wasn't running things in that election and we did great.
The lesson I take from all this is GET OUT OF THE WAY KARL!!!!!
Rarl Kove, you vile and disgusting little has been..........FU and the rest of the shi'ite RNC establishment.
California is one of the nation's crystal balls. The Democrats there have demonstrated that vote buying themselves into 51% control of everything is not enough. They're now up to 2/3rds super majorities in all branches of state government, and they're just getting started. The objective is the total and unconditional surrender of America. Meanwhile over in the USSR they have a 13% flat tax, a conservative government, and an oversupply of blue eyed blonds. They exported all their communists to us.
"Demography isn't destiny ."
The first thing I did when I saw this, is to check to see who the author was.
When I saw it was Rove, no need to read any further.
Keep believin' in that, Karl. Keep whistlin' past the graveyard.
And ask the remaining Euro-Americans in California if demography ain't destiny .
The turd blossom is now the shiny turd blossom.
This clown has become a multimillionaire by offering bad advice. He took a landslide election in 2004 and turned it into a near loss.
He makes no mention of the law and lawbreakers when he states:
"The major impediment is the harsh rhetoric of some Republicans regarding immigration. The solution is less about policy than about respect for the Hispanic community. If federal immigration law is reformed with substantial Republican supportincluding for a long and demanding but achievable process of earning legal statusthe GOP can consistently earn 35%-40% among Hispanics."
And his math is what one might expect from a Republican consultant. Even if they got 40% of the Hispanic vote, that would mean a net gain of 2.2 million votes of that 11 million for the Democrats.
The reality is that there are 30-40 million illegals in the country which will be proven when they are amnestied. And with chain migration another 40 million parents, siblings, and others will be allowed in. With a 40%/60% advantage democrats in Rove's most optimistic estimate, that would be a 6 million to 16 million net gain for democrats.
Let's see you put that on your whiteboard, Rove, you moron.
Karl "Kommie" Rove just starting to help the DNC win in 2014 & 2016.
Detroit is destiny.
White flight started in a few inner-city neighborhoods. Then Whole interior sections of cities. Then entire cities. Now we're on to entire states like California where the productive are fleeing.
When I started coming on this site, I figured we had maybe 5-10 years to get things turned back around nationally. In restrospect, I may have overestimated. I think it's probably time decent productive people start making arrangements to man the lifeboats.
I think we may start to see "white flight" on a national level as opportunity continues to dry up here for wage earners. And our political scene is devolving into a 3rd world banana republic.
Conservatism will never die, but the GOP may. Our national body politic is incapable and unwilling to vote for decent principled governance. Our nation has already been turned into something I don't want my children growing up in.
Not sure how many feel the same way I do, but it is telling that 40% of the 18-24 population of this country would already prefer to live elsewhere. And the 24-35 demographic is starting to move abroad in record numbers. Unlike coming to America, leaving the country requires a marketable education and demonstrated ability to support one's self. These are our best and brightest fleeing the country in search of economic opportunity.
Call it a "brain drain" or "white flight" or whatever, but it will continue until our gov't and banking system quit waging war on wage earners. So maybe the GOP is right in trying to replace conservatives as their base. The old ones are dying off, and their potential replacements are leaving the country in droves.
Well said.
I mentioned many times in 2012 if Baraq won again, it was going to be "bolt or revolt" discussion 24/7/365 on FR in 2013.
Karl Rove eh? Karl Rove spewing statistics eh?
He must think people are feeling a tingle....
I'm thinking they're feeling a tinkle...
He's really not too swift. Like a typical GOPe ringleader, he is missing the essence of the defeat.
History is full of examples of forces winning against all manner of numerical odds as Obama did in 2012.
And yet Rove is spewing statistics trying to find some reason why the party has hope in numbers.
What they don't have is spirit.
Spirit trumps all the demographic chit-chat of dingle berries like Rove.
One charamatic Tea Party figure that can make people proud to be American can grab the full spectrum of demographic spreads. One leader to make Americans proud can swing the hispanics, the blacks and women to their expression.
But the GOPe has no one to make Americans proud; no one.
Rather than spew statistics and plot to isolate and marginalize Tea Party conservatives, an effective party would be crawling the earth and checking under every stone to find the new talent they need to win back power. They would measure the potential of discovered talent not my how they fit the grand design, but how many people they touch with their spirit.
It is important to understand that people will remember not what was said or what was done but rather how they were made to feel.
We remember Reagan because he gave us optimism and he made us proud to be Americans. Those are feelings he himself with the force of his character and personality imparted to so many Americans and beyond even into foreign countries. Reagan was loved; that's a feeling. His principles and values were not preached to us but were expressed by the spiritual essence of his being. Others could have given his same speeches and they would have fallen flat. But Reagan's spirit and essence made us take a time out and listen. We grew to believe him, he helped us get in touch with our feelings as to what it means to be an American, and it felt great.
Today's leaders of the GOPe pace about to ponder demographics and mission statements, weasel worded policy planks. Then they search out persons who they think they can control to act as messengers, who will fit the mold. That is mechanical, that is wonkism...it is not spiritual, it is not the essence needed, it does not resonate with being an American. And we see through the phoniness of it all.
And the lack of leadership will continue until the GOPe capitulates and hands the keys to the executive board rooms to people like Sarah Palin, Governor Jindal and others. New blood is badly needed and the failures like Rove need to withdraw.
Doesn't seem to have helped Republicans with black voters. It was Republicans who encouraged and made possible the Civil Rights legislation that black folks so love, but you never hear that from black leaders or the MSM. I'd venture to guess that if asked, most black people would say that it was Democrats who fought for their civil rights, instead of actually trying to stand in the way of them.

Burned IM man pleads not guilty to meth lab charges
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – An Iron Mountain man arrested in connection with a chemical explosion has pleaded not guilty to manufacture of methamphetamine.
Travis Boone Pearce, 30, appeared for arraignment in Dickinson County Circuit Court on Monday with his attorney Dan Anderson of Iron Mountain.
Anderson said his client would enter a not guilty plea to the charges of operating/maintaining laboratory involving methamphetamine, attempted delivery/manufacture of methamphetamine/ecstasy, and habitual offender, fourth offense notice.
According to the felony complaint, police were contacted by Dickinson County Memorial Hospital in reference to the defendant being treated for injuries suffered in a chemical explosion. Evidence at the scene of the explosion, 724 N. Kimberly Ave., determined a meth lab had failed.
Pearce was treated at a Milwaukee burn center for treatment of third degree burns.
Investigation also revealed that the defendant allegedly purchased pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) at Walmart less than two hours earlier and a tube cutter (used to cut open lithium batteries) at Home Depot shortly after that. Sudafed and a tube cutter along with other known ingredients used to make meth were recovered from the scene.
Judge Richard Celello set a pre-trial conference for March 4 at 10 a.m.
Pearce is lodged in the Dickinson County Correctional Facility.
