I don't understand why people in Florida aren't building hurricane-proof dome homes or concrete homes. I just checked out a web-site and you can have a hurricane proof dome home built for around $70,000. It is a 3 BR/2 Bath home. Granted, it is only 960 square feet, but I would give up the footage for a hurricane proof home.

re: - 10/10/2016
We are DONE with upstate NY winters! Hubby and I have a good 15 yrs before retirement, so we want to move in Florida, but I hear so much BAD with just about EVERY city :(.... We were looking at Clearwater, Tampa - but the area OUTSIDE the big cities.
Also looked at Orlando. I'm sooooooo confused. Don't know what to do. We want to buy a mobile home, but are SCARED of the hurricanes and losing it all and we don't have the money to be playing around with!

We Want a Slower Lifestyle Now that We are Retirin - 6/21/2014
Clearwater FL is great for people who love lots of people, lots of traffic, lots of sun, and lots of things to do! However, we are retiring and want to go to a more relaxed location with a cooler climate. We are more into hiking, camping, and lake fishing.[Comment on this Posting]
thumbs down - 3/22/2013
would not recommend at all living in Pinellas - our home insurance went from 480.00 to 1600.00 in 2 years - not one claim ever - car insurance is outrageous - it caters only to 55 plus - if you have a family forget it, don't come here, you will pay 1,000 plus for an apartment - there is no famiy mobile home parks for families - all for elderly - school in north pinellas are okay - northerasterns move in like flies and very rude - this is not a southern town - jobs are very hard to find unless you are a telemarketers you will find lots of job but you will have to rip off people - as for driving - pray before you get on the roads - I have been slammed from behind twice - and you here sirens all the time or Bayflight from major accidents - people litterly drive so fast and tailgate - seen alot of major accidents - the country is so crowded - similar to living in NY City - avoid certain beaches parking tolls outrageous in clearwater beach, honeymoon island cost 8.00 just to go swimming, and most of southern pinellas beaches are full of condominiums and very built up beaches -so you loose that florida feeling - i would suggest move to Homossassa and get out of this congestion at least you can work at walmart and have peace - because for every job position in pinellas there is several 100 in line..[Comment on this Posting]

clearwater sucks - 11/17/2010
Clearwater is a great place to live if you dont mind old retired people clogging up the roaads because they arent in a hurry to go anywhere... there is no room for normal people here its either a bunch of canadians or retired people in the way[Comment on this Posting]
Tired of Florida - 4/1/2010
I am a native of Tampa, FL, but have been living in Clearwater, on the Bay fotr the past two years. The longer I live here, the less I seem to be able to tolerate the heat. We really only have two seasons here: summer and intermittent summer. That is when it is supposed to be winter, spring or fall by the calandar, but you can find yourself in shorts any time of the year. Most people love that who move here, but having lived here all my life, I am looking for a place with four seasons, a cool winter, full beautiful spring, and a summer that has little humidity. Anyone know of a place like that? I am willing to compromise a little.[Comment on this Posting]
Lovely place, paradise! However... - 3/11/2010
This is an almost magical place, small but full of so many things.
But it isn't a place for a working person to find sustinence.
The worst part is not the lack of jobs, but the nasty Northeasterners who have moved here. You might be enjoying a quiet day at the beach and hear them yelling at each other like barking seals, shattering your meditation.
A few of the businesses are full of their rudeness as well.
If you move here, or visit, be pleasant and enjoy.[Comment on this Posting]
Nothing really that special... - 7/1/2009
Paired to Coral Springs FL this place is kinda of old and dumpy. I dont really like the bay area as much as south FL but it does have nicer people. Clearwater is full of shops and places to go but what citi in FL dont!!!!!!![Comment on this Posting]
Please dont move here !! - 11/21/2008
This by far has to be the worst city to live in . It is dirty and the beaches are all going private . Insurance is horrible for homes and homes are not affordable anymore with sky high property taxes . Schools are crappy . I am so glad to be leaving here and moving back north snow and all . There are no jobs here and folks are losing their jobs here left and right . There are 500 ppl here for every one job opening and they will give it to the person who will work for 5.00 an hr and speaks a foreign language if you get my drift . It has to be by far the worst place I have ever lived . I cannot wait to get out of this city and state !!! It is okay if you want to work for 5.00 an hour and do 30 ppls positions .[Comment on this Posting]
Living on the Florida Gulf Coast - 7/21/2007
The Florida lifestyle is great but it is getting harder and harder to achieve for many. The cost of housing itself is affordable as long as you don't want insurance or can avoid paying your taxes. It is possible that if the state legislature does nothing about this the only people left living in Florida will be the rich and well to do.[Comment on this Posting]
Clearwater Is Not A Good Place.... - 7/12/2007
To live. The cost of living is ridculously high. The insurance for housing is insane because of the hurricanes. The crime is bad. There are a lot of mexicans and prostitutes running around the city. The city is totally overrated! Scientologist have taken over most of Clearwater. Nice place to vacation...not a good place to live!![Comment on this Posting]
Lived in Charlotte, NC. Jacksonville, FL, and Spar - 3/16/2007
I lived in Jacksonville, FL for 20 years. It is very dirty, crime ridden, and no beaches to enjoy anymore since the condos have arrived. The plus is that the healthcare systems here are adequate especially if you are in between jobs or have a low paying job which is the case in Jacksonville. Spartanburg, SC is a gentle southern town that has a great healthcare system with good schools and relatively low crime, but little chance of making a living unless you're in the manufacturing business. You have to drive to Greenville on the Autobon Express (fast lanes only).
Charlotte, NC has such a wopping tax rate that one only takes home around 60% of their salary with typical big city layoffs, expensive housing, crime, little affordable nightlife for singles unless again you work 2nd or 3rd shift in manufacturing to make the money. Healthcare here is horrendous with a minimum of 4 month waits to be seen by doctors if you're without insurance or in between jobs. In Jacksonville, FL, I must say there was sufficient care for those who were out of work or in transition. This is non-existent in Charlotte if you need immediate care.
I am trying to move out of Charlotte as soon as I can for a better quality of life. If you're single, Raleigh-Durham is supposed to be the place to be. If you're a family and are in the finance, accounting, insurance industries, then Charlotte would be ideal for you as long as you don't get laid off and need healthcare.[Comment on this Posting]

Nice Place To Live - 9/29/2006
I've lived all over Florida for the past 5 years and Clearwater has to be the best place I've lived so far. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, beaches are close by and shopping centers all over the place. It can get pretty muggy in the summer months as it is all over Florida but that's what the beach and swimming pools are for!!! Housing is pretty pricey if you're buying but the rentals are reasonable and affordable. I commute to work 30 miles round trip 5 nights a week. This is a long commute for me, but its worth it to come home and live in this city.[Comment on this Posting]

I will tell you all about Clearwater... - 8/18/2006
I've lived in Clearwater for all but the first five years of my life, grew up attending public schools in the immediate area, and have seen the area grow throughout that time. I'm currently trying to situate myself so that I can move back to the northeast, and I'll give my reasonings why I want to move from here as well as an unbiased opinion as best possible about the positive factors of the area, considering I don't really feel it is desirable to me. The main problem here is a mixture of cost arising from the real estate aspect as well as the lack of jobs providing a sustainable wage (generally unless you have an advanced degree or have been a very successful business owner). As far as pricing a house in the area, I will give a personal example: my parents bought their house about 12 years ago for ~$45,000. The house was built in 1977, has 950 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, one bath, and no garage or car port. Flashforward to present time and a recent appraisal value of $210,000. This is for a house in a lower middle class / middle class neighborhood. On top of this, property taxes were recently doubled and insurance prices have blown through the roof. My aunt and uncle, who resided in Holiday (about 20 miles north of Clearwater) recently relocated to North Carolina when they couldn't take the tax and insurance squeeze. Last year their insurance jumped from $400/year to more than $3,000/year. Yes, in one year their insurance went up nearly 800%. It is no doubt influenced by the fact that Florida is a hurricane magnet, but this particular area of Florida hasn't been directly hit by a hurricane in nearly 100 years. On the issue of schools, schools in the northern area of Pinellas county (generally considered Clearwater or Largo northward) are generally good. Added to this is the fact that there is an abundance of magnet programs and the choice program which allows all students enrolled in public schools to choose a wishlist of schools from anywhere in the county that they would like to attend. I personally attended a criminal justice magnet program for high school, and can't imagine having gone through high school without that experiece. As far as weather, if you like having four seasons this isn't where you want to be. It isn't abnormal for temperatures to stay above 50-60 degrees throughout the winter, and in the summer the heat, humidity, and daily afternoon thunderstorms can be oppressive. This is the LIGHTNING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. If you are[Comment on this Posting]
Countryside, Palm Harbor, Oldsmar, Duneiden sectio - 7/6/2006
Although Palm Harbor, Oldsmar and Duneiden is not in Clearwater they all merged together at Countryside. This is a very fast growing area, as much of Florida is. Property taxes continue to go up and Home Owners Insurance is obscene. Last year,our home insurance jumped from $700 a year to $3200 and we have never been hit by a hurricane in the 20 years I have been here. This year, my insurance will jump another 45 to 75%. Auto insurance continues to go up as well because there are so many people on the road. You rightly ask "Why don't you leave?" .. Well, I have just sold my house and getting out my winter clothes.[Comment on this Posting]
Have you ever lived on an island? - 4/9/2006
Clearwater Beach is located on an island, so it's a barrier island, but still surrounded by beautiful blue water. And one of the best-kept secrets is that it is connected to Caladesi Island State Park, which was once separated by a pass that closed in about 13 years ago. Caladesi is a nature preserve, and being there makes you feel like you are on your very own semi-tropical island. Our islands have white sandy beaches that feel and look like powdered sugar and the water is crystal clear, hence Clearwater. But what brought me here were the dolphins, they are everywhere. The first one I saw was on my first day, it jumped out of the water and made a flip, I haven't seen one do that since. It was a wonderful greeting and an invitation; "Come live here for a while, enjoy the sun and the silence and be one with nature."[Comment on this Posting]

David, they are wonderful. Here's an article that might help you out. http://www.garlicfarmct.com/recipes.htmNorma, if you have any local garlic farms in your area, you might check with them. I surprised they haven't popped up at the market.
Don't have a recipe but if pasta making is among your many talents, last summer we found homemade garlic scape & pecorino romano pappardelle at a farmer's market when visiting Grand Rapids, MI that was outstanding
I came up with a pretty good garlic scape pesto last year. http://valentinopasta.com/recipe-garlic-scape-pesto/
David, they are wonderful. Here's an article that might help you out. http://www.garlicfarmct.com/recipes.htm
thanks Diana, was going to go on a garlic scape hunt, this might be the place.
Thanks Diana for the link. the barn is an old tobacco barn, while I was paying for my scapes my friend was talking with the farmer and he told her that it's an impressive sight with all the garlic hanging after harvest, we will be going back to check that out. made some garlic scape pesto this weekend, pizza tonightdry & fresh mozz, garlic scape pesto, a few scapes . Next one is going to have roasted red peppers and broccoli. I'm also going to do a pasta salad with some of the pesto at some point this week (with valentino ww fusilli )
The pizza looks wonderful! I'm so glad you got some. What do you think of them? The barn sounds pretty cool. I hope you can post some pics of your future visit.
Scapes are gone and the garlic is curing I wish I was close enough to this farm to do their csamy friend took more pictures than I did and I'll try to steal some from her

City Does Great Work With Repaving Project
To the Reader's Forum:
Drivers on West Third Street in Jamestown are most certainly enjoying the newly repaved street. We would like to call attention to a subtle yet important change that has made the area between Hall Avenue and Hallock Street better and safer for ALL users. That change is the addition of the white lines marking the existing on-street parking.
For many years, there has been confusion on the part of motorists regarding whether this stretch of roadway was one lane or two. Not realizing that the street was actually just one travel lane, drivers would sometimes try to pass other vehicles on the right, in the parking lane, resulting in harrowing near-collisions. This situation also made exiting the side streets very challenging, because it was so dangerous to pull out to see around the street trees to check for oncoming traffic that might be just inches away. The one lane-or-two dilemma made crossing the wide expanse of pavement more dangerous for pedestrians, and cyclists felt unsafe with nothing delineating where they should be riding.
Simply painting the parking lane has remedied these situations and is a great example of Jamestown's Complete Streets ordinance in action. With Complete Streets, the city takes opportunities such as these to re-think the street by asking: "What can we do to make this street safer and more accommodating for all users?" In this case, the repaving project came up quickly and unexpectedly, well ahead of New York State Department of Transportation's construction schedule, and allowing little time to react. However, thanks to the coordinated communication of staff at the City of Jamestown DPW and the NYSDOT, the city was successfully able to request that the NYSDOT paint the parking lanes, thereby improving safety for all users. It is a small change, but an important one and the best that could be done given the short time-frame.
We'd like to thank the City of Jamestown and NYSDOT for putting the Complete Streets ordinance to work and improving the safety of our city's streets!

Ron Guth: The 1849 Half Dime has the second largest mintage of any Half Dime date from the 1840s. However, the date is split into three major varieties: 1849 Normal Date, 1849/8, and 1849/6. While the overdates take up some of the mintage, the remaining Normal Dates are still relatively common and are valued only slightly higher than the most common P-Mints.
Most 1849 Half Dimes are struck well and show strong details, especially in the central areas of the dies.

Melissa Johnson
Professor of Anthropology
Areas of expertise
Topical: Nature, the non-human and the human; Environment; Conservation; Development; Race and Racism; Social Theory; Environmental History; Tourism; Gender. Area: Belize; Caribbean; U.S.-Mexico Borderlands; Central Texas
Dr. Johnson is a cultural anthropologist who specializes in environmental anthropology, race and gender. She focuses her research on Belize's Afro-Caribbean populations. Currently, she is working on a book manuscript, Creole SocioNatures: Nature, Community and Identity in Belize on nature, community and identity in rural Belizean Creole communities. She has also published on the intersections of race and environment in the history of Belize, and has projects underway on ecotourism; gender and development; garbage; and hunting and migration. She has conducted an interdisciplinary faculty-student collaborative project on environmental justice in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands, and a project with Southwestern student Kimberly Griffin (Env Studies '10) on a social and environmental history of the San Gabriel River in Central Texas.
She is especially interested in bringing critical analysis of systems of privilege and oppression to the examination of the intersections of the human with non-human--from analyses of the meanings of place and landscape to relationships between human and non-human animals. The contexts that attract her attention are those in which people and other things are moving--sites of tourism, international biodiversity conservation, toxicity, emigration, immigration, and transnational and trans-place networks, to name a few.
She is passionate about teaching, and regularly teaches Introduction to Anthropology, Theory in Anthropology, Global Environmental Justice, Race, Class and Gender in the Caribbean and the Anthropology Senior Research Seminar. She currently co-chairs (with Dr. Emily Northrop) the Anthropocene Paideia Cluster (2014-2018) and regularly teaches a First Year Seminar "Race and Racism in a "Post-Racial" Age". She is committed to doing all that she can to promote social justice in her communities, and is a long term member of, and previously served for many years as Co-Chair of Southwestern's Diversity Enrichment Committee. She is also consistently involved with the Environmental Studies committee, serving as co-Chair (with Dr. Romi Burks) of that committee from Fall 2014-present.

Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, for months now communities across Canada have been competing for the coveted title of Hockeyville 2011. The preliminary votes are in and on Saturday night, during Hockey Night in Canada, we learned that Wolfe Island in the riding of Kingston and the Islands is among the final five.
Krafty, the Hockeyville wolf and some 300 islanders gathered in the Wolfe Island volunteer fire department hall this past Saturday to watch the results come in. The hall burst into cheers of joy and excitement when they heard that Wolfe Island received the third most votes in the country to become the national finalist from Ontario. With over 265,000 votes, Wolfe Island is proving that it is a strong contender for this year's Hockeyville title.
Finally, I would like to congratulate the Wolfe Island Kraft Hockeyville committee which is busy planning for a celebration on April 2 when the winner of the 2011 Hockeyville will be announced.
Wolfe Island for Kraft Hockeyville, the puck stops here.
Jewish Refugees
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge an issue that has not been discussed much in this House or by the current government: the plight of Jewish refugees from Arab lands, not only the forgotten exodus but also the forced exodus.
Following the United Nations partition resolution of November 29, 1947, and over the following decades, approximately 850,000 Jews were uprooted and displaced from Arab countries.
In 1945, there were around 900,000 Jews living in the Arab world. Today, there are fewer than 8,000.
It has been documented that state-sanctioned repression and persecution in Arab countries targeted Jewish populations and led to the anti-Jewish pogroms. This is a story that must be acknowledged and must be repeated.
As my colleague from Mount Royal has said:
Where there is no remembrance, there is no truth; where there is no truth, there will be no justice; where there is no justice, there will be no reconciliation; and where there is no reconciliation, there will be no peace - which we all seek.
Jean-Luc Labrecque

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Jean-Luc Labrecque, a city councillor in Terrebonne and the president of the Association québécoise du transport intermunicipal et municipal. For over 20 years, Mr. Labrecque has been devoting himself to promoting sustainable development and the use of public transit.
Mr. Labrecque's exemplary commitment has been recognized by Transport 2000 Québec, which awarded him the Guy Chartrand prize in the "outstanding individual in public transit" category. Created in 2005, this honour recognizes the achievements and contribution of individuals who play a role in the creation and implementation of a sustainable transportation policy for Quebec.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I wish to congratulate Mr. Labrecque and thank him for his commitment to our community. We are privileged to be able to count on someone of his stature and we appreciate his efforts to move the Quebec nation towards a greener future.
The Budget
Statements By Members

John Rafferty Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, the contents of the federal budget are secret for good reason. Knowing where $300 billion of public money is being spent is valuable information.
A reporter once leaked details of the federal budget and was charged with possession of stolen goods.
Recently, a Conservative staffer was caught red-handed shopping around budget information to lobbyists for his own financial gain.
Just three days ago, someone from the office of the science and technology minister contacted the newsroom at the Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal directly and released specific details of budget items.
It gets worse.
Local Conservative candidates, with no security clearance and no accountability, also leaked budget details this week and have tried to use this information for electoral gain.
Who else knows the contents of the budget? Conservative donors? Lobbyists? And are the Conservatives giving this information away or are they selling it?
Should these leaks be proven true, I will be asking the RCMP to investigate this Conservative government, once again.

Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, members of the government have said repeatedly that we do not want an unnecessary election. We want to focus on the economy. We want Canadians to keep their jobs and we want the fruits of their labour to stay in their pockets.
Canadians, including those in my riding of North Vancouver, have been clear. They have said plainly that they want their government to focus on creating jobs and protecting the economy, not wasting millions on an unnecessary and costly election.
Will the opposition stop playing their partisan and political games, and do the right thing: stand up for Canadians, support the budget, and help get Canadians back to work?
World Water Day
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, today is World Water Day, a day to reflect on a resource we too often take for granted, a day to reaffirm our commitment to water as a public good.
There are over one billion people in the world without access to safe drinking water. Over 2.5 billion lack access to proper sanitation. Contaminated water kills over two million people annually, the majority of them children. One-half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from water-borne diseases.
In Canada, too many first nations must cope with having to boil their water before drinking it.
We need to pay more attention to our domestic freshwater supplies. For example, whether the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, or Lake Winnipeg, the federal government has not focused enough on these world-renowned water bodies.
The responsible stewardship of this fundamental resource requires that we prevent water from becoming a private good.
Water is vital to human health, to the integrity of our ecosystems, and to the strength of our economy. We need federal leadership on the issue of water. We need a true national water vision.

Mr. Speaker, communities across northern Ontario are telling us they are benefiting from Canada's economic action plan.
It appears that NDP MPs in northern Ontario agree. In a recent mailout, the MP for Thunder Bay—Superior North said:
Not only is it creating jobs and stimulating our economy, the funding is retraining workers, improving water quality, supporting our artists and fixing our roads.
Imagine that.
In a recent letter to the editor of the Thunder Bay Chronicle Journal, a constituent questioned her MP taking credit for this government's work. It is perplexing.
The NDP have consistently voted against Canada's economic action plan and strategically against other important legislation like repealing the long gun registry.
I am confident the next phase of Canada's economic action plan will continue to benefit the people of northern Ontario in a number of key areas. It is time their MPs put the interests of northern Ontario first and support the next phase of Canada's economic action plan.
Luc Picard

Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, Luc Picard has been named the Richelieu LaSalle Club's Francophonie personality of the year for 2011.
This honour was bestowed on him in recognition of the role he plays in promoting French language and culture and for his commitment to Quebec's young people. In honour of this occasion, a donation will also be made to the Regroupement des Maisons de jeunes du Québec, a group sponsored by Luc Picard.
Without a doubt, his prolific career and his social commitment make this actor a well-rounded and unique human being. He has appeared on television, on stage and in film and is also a director and writer. His first television role in the series Omertà, la loi du silence quickly made him known and loved by the Quebec public. He has been an outstanding personality in the arts world ever since. He is socially involved, supporting the Regroupement des Maisons de jeunes du Québec. He is a staunch sovereignist and was a spokesperson for Development and Peace.
The Bloc Québécois is proud to acknowledge this honour and wants to congratulate Luc Picard.
Global Transportation Hub
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Andrew Scheer Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK
Mr. Speaker, last week the Government of Canada delivered support for Regina's newest transportation facility. The funds went to help aggressively market the global transportation hub to attract new investments in Saskatchewan.
Increased trade and investment with emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region means there are growing opportunities for the global transportation hub in Regina since it combines rail, truck, and air cargo facilities.
The federal government's contribution will enable the transportation hub to brand itself as an attractive destination for international business and investment.
The project will also highlight the Regina area as an important transportation hub along major North American shipping routes and as a link into the Asia-Pacific region.
It is estimated that this project will help the global transportation hub authority attract up to $300 million in new investments to Saskatchewan and create up to 500 jobs.
I have been proud to work with municipal leaders, the business community in southern Saskatchewan, and the provincial government on this important project.
Thanks to this kind of forward-thinking from Saskatchewan entrepreneurs and community leaders, we have a new economic engine that is already bringing jobs to Regina.
Chinese Canadians

Ujjal Dosanjh Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud of the work SFU's David Lam Centre, named after the much admired late Lieutenant Governor of B.C., David Lam, has done to educate and celebrate the many ways in which Chinese Canadians have enriched our country.
A group led by Dr. Paul Crowe of the David Lam Centre and David Choi of the SFU Chinese-Canadian Heritage Fund has produced a commemorative and educational chronology of Chinese Canadian history entitled "From Segregation to Integration" in English, French and Chinese.
This chronology, digitized by SFU and UBC, will be launched in Toronto on April 15 and will be available to the public.
Chinese Canadians have made Canada their home for the last 223 years. It is their story, our story, that will be captured and exhibited by this project, bringing to life the early Chinese settlers, including railway workers and veterans, and their struggles, sacrifices and contributions to nation building in Canada.
We are all very proud of the contributions of Chinese Canadians to the building of this country.

Earl Dreeshen Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, while the global economic recovery is still fragile and our trading partners are still struggling, our Conservative government is focused on Canadians' top priority: jobs and the economy.
Our Conservative government is fighting for hard-working Canadians and their families. The next phase of Canada's economic action plan is critically important to Canada's economic recovery.
A low tax plan is of critical importance to the financial security of Canadian families. Our Conservative government is focused on completing Canada's economic recovery and implementing our low tax plan for Canadian families.
Meanwhile, the Liberals, and the NDP and Bloc coalition partners are putting their political ambitions ahead of Canadians' financial security. The reckless political opportunism will force an unnecessary election, Canada's fourth in just seven years.
Our Conservative government's focus remains on hard-working Canadians and their families notwithstanding the political opportunism of the Liberal leader and his coalition partners.
Government Accountability
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Wayne Marston Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government and the Prime Minister must remember that under our parliamentary system the Prime Minister is not all-powerful.
The Prime Minister is like the CEO of a company with Parliament as its board of directors. As with any company, it is the job of Parliament to protect the interests of the shareholders, who, in this case, are the Canadian people.
Mr. Speaker, you have ruled against the Conservative government on four separate occasions. Just yesterday, a House committee released a report declaring that the government should be found in contempt of Parliament for withholding important information concerning the cost of its programs.
Were Canada a company and the CEO tried to withhold from the board of directors important information of the organization's operating costs, the CEO would soon find himself threatened with his job.
Shortly, Canadians may well be going to the polls and I believe they will show this Prime Minister who the boss really is.
Regional Development

Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government has made massive investments in all regions of Quebec. Whether it is $7.6 billion in equalization payments, more than $42 billion in tax reductions for Quebec taxpayers, $2.1 billion for our universities, or $3 billion for Quebec infrastructure, we deliver the goods. However, the Liberal-Bloc coalition opposes all these measures and votes against Quebec.
This afternoon, the Minister of Finance will table the second phase of our economic action plan. Will the Bloc members continue to sit on their hands? Will the Bloc members again abandon Quebeckers? Will the Bloc members abandon our youth, seniors and workers?
Fortunately, instead of the Bloc's blackmail, Quebeckers can count on the Conservative members to rise and say yes for Quebec.
Government Advertising
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Robert Vincent Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, during the meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates that was held just before the break, we learned from witnesses from the Treasury Board Secretariat and Public Works and Government Services Canada that no one in these departments had any say about the content of the government advertising.
I find it unbelievable that all these communications specialists were unable to do their jobs—everything was decided by the ministers, led by the Prime Minister, and then approved by the Privy Council Office if necessary.
We know that the development of these government advertisements had to support the Conservatives' priorities. This partisan exercise in self-promotion denounced by all the opposition parties cost taxpayers a mere $136.3 million in 2009-10, and that is not counting the contract with Cossette Communication Group, which is, of course, a secret.
It is time to put an end to the Conservatives' all-you-can-eat buffet approach to spending public funds.
The Economy

Massimo Pacetti Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Mr. Speaker, as the finance minister tables his budget today I would like to remind the opposition parties and all Canadians of how history has proven over and over again that one cannot trust anything he says.
Since the time when he was the Ontario finance minister for the Harris government, he has done nothing but make false statements about how he left the province deficit free. However, when the Liberal government took power, it discovered an exorbitant deficit of $5.6 billion.
In 2007 he said there would be no recession. A few months later, Canada was hit with one of the worst economic downturns in history.
He said there would be no deficit. But then he plunged Canada into a deficit even before the recession began. All this led us to a historic $100 billion deficit.
He talks about austerity in spending, meanwhile his wastefulness and poor fiscal management has driven up government spending by 18%.
He therefore made his government the biggest spending government in history.
Why would anyone believe a word the finance minister says?

Buying a business jet can be a smart move, but you can make lots of mistakes on the road to ownership. Here are eight of the most common blunders, plus advice on how to avoid them.
Bizav Basics

June 26, 2013
Here's how to chart a flight path that works for you.
May 13, 2013
When it comes to outright aircraft ownership, you basically have two choices: hire a management company to handle operations and maintenance or set up your own corporate flight department. Done right, either option will afford you convenience and safety. What it really comes down to is cost versus control.
March 19, 2013
Once upon a time, the vast majority of business jets were owned and operated in the U.S., but that's changing. Residents of other countries represent an ever-growing segment of the market, and the business of buying and selling corporate jets is increasingly international. In fact, a majority of factory-new aircraft these days are delivered outside the U.S.
July 3, 2012
Perhaps you like the idea of shared aircraft ownership but not the costs and flight-time limitations that accompany a contract with a fractional provider. If so, you may be a candidate for a deal in which two or more private parties agree among themselves to share an aircraft. Such an arrangement can give you access to a business jet almost on a par with whole ownership but at significant cost savings. No one knows for sure just how many shared jets are flying.
June 26, 2012
Preowned aircraft prices and financing costs remain at historically low levels, and business jet manufacturers continue to offer incentives to boost sales. That's changing the access equation for private fliers, leading some to forgo charter, jet cards or fractional shares in favor of buying an aircraft outright.
March 26, 2012
中文内容请参看下面的PDF文件 As with real estate, the options available to business jet travelers fall into two main categories: rent and own. Civil aviation regulations around the world dictate this.
March 1, 2012
Boston-based Magellan Jets is offering two free hours of flight time with the purchase of a 25-hour jet card for the Hawker 800XP. The company, which does not own or operate aircraft, offers flights with 10 hours' notice and does not bill for repositioning or assess fuel surcharges. Card membership includes standard catering and VIP ground transportation.
January 5, 2012
Flexjet has announced that its fractional-jet-share sales rose 92 percent in the 12-month period ended last September 30. During the same time, according to the Texas-based company, industry-wide share sales increased 16 percent and Flexjet's market share jumped from 14 to 21 percent.
December 8, 2011
Magellan Jets has launched what it calls the Business Travel Jet Card. Aimed at fliers in the Northeast, it covers 10 hours aboard an Eclipse 500 and costs $34,950 with no blackout dates, daily minimums or fuel surcharge. The offer currently has no expiration date.

Moms also are injured and die. Some were trying to rescue their children.
A look at several incidents in the past 18 years in which children have set vehicles in motion with fatal results.
Nov. 30, 1984, North Lauderdale, Fla.
Jamin Jacobson, 3, was struck and killed by the family's 1972 Chevy Impala in his driveway.
STORY: Moment is all it takes for vehicles to roll away
The boy's mother had parked the car and gone inside with the boy's baby sister, leaving him alone in the car. Police believe he shifted the car out of park.
As it began rolling backward, he jumped or fell out of the driver's door. The car ran over him, causing head injuries from which he did not recover.
— The Miami Herald
Aug. 5, 1988, Orange County, Calif.
Dylan Clark Bloodworth, 2, of Arlington, Texas, was killed when a runaway 1981 Chevy station wagon ran into him in San Clemente State Park.
Police said an 18-month-old child, left alone in a car with the engine running, shifted the car into gear. The driver told police she had gotten out of the car to retrieve some camping items and left the engine running because the car was difficult to start.
— The Orange County Register
May 30, 1998, Washington, Mo.
Harrison Struttmann, 2, was killed and his mother seriously injured by a runaway van at a riverfront park.
Two boys, ages 2 and 3, had been left unsupervised in a 1985 full-size Dodge van that had been left idling.
After recovering from her injuries, Michele Struttmann co-founded Kids 'N Cars, a nonprofit organization that promotes safety issues. Partly as a result of her lobbying, 17 states now have laws against leaving children unattended in vehicles.

March 31, 2002, Independence, Mo.
Kiri Hanna, 16, was killed when her 21-month-old daughter, who was sitting in the driver's seat of their 1993 Crown Victoria, shifted the vehicle out of park.
At the time, Hanna was standing outside the vehicle and was strapping her 7-month-old son into the rear passenger seat. The keys were not in the ignition, and the car was not running, police said.
— Kansas City Star
May 17, 2003, Colorado Springs, Colo.
Adreanna Cook-Patrick, 4, was run over by a GMC Yukon in the family's driveway as she helped her mother clean the vehicle.
The victim's 2-year-old brother was in the driver's seat, and the ignition switch was turned so the radio could play.
The girl was standing behind the SUV when the toddler shifted the car out of park, police said. The mother, who was also outside the vehicle, jumped in the moving vehicle but was unable to stop it in time.
— The Gazette
April 14, 2004, Farmington, N.H.
Ian Joseph Campbell, 21 months, was killed and his 4-year-old brother, Adam, injured after jumping from a moving Ford F-350 pickup outside their home.
Both had been playing unsupervised when the older boy shifted the vehicle out of park. Their father, a state representative, owned the truck.
The incident helped spur automakers to agree to equip virtually all new vehicles with brake-shift interlock by 2010.
— New Haven Register
July 4, 2007, Bridgeport, Conn.
A woman and three children ages 2 to 6 drowned after the 1999 Plymouth minivan rolled into a pond.
Michelle McIntosh, 39, had left the van parked and idling on a hill as she talked briefly with the driver of a nearby vehicle. Police believe that one of the children climbed into the driver's seat and moved the shift lever out of park.
The mother ran after and climbed into the moving van but was unable to stop it before it became submerged.
— New Haven Register
Nov. 20, 2010, Burleson, Texas
Chassey Bates was severely injured and her 3-week-old baby, Chase, was killed by a runaway 2005 Chrysler minivan.
Bates had parked the van and exited it and was talking with a neighbor. Police said a 4-year-old son left inside the van got the keys from her purse, started the vehicle and put it into gear.
A liability lawsuit later revealed the van's brake-shift interlock had been disabled by a used-car dealer during installation of a tracking device.
— Fort Worth Star-Telegram
July 14, 2012, Gainesville, Texas
Alex Ritchey, 5, was killed after his father's Dodge pickup stuck him.
The keys had been left in the ignition, and the boy got into the truck while his father was in the house.
The boy turned the key and shifted the truck out of park. The truck began rolling backward; he jumped out of the open driver's door, which struck him, pushing him into the path of the left front wheel.

I don't like umami in my sencha. Just not my thing. My ideal sencha is sweet (saccharide-sweet, not amino-sweet), a little grassy, with a clean mineral aftertaste— and little to no umami. The closest I've come is Yuuki-cha's Kagoshima Kirishima Zairai asamushi, which unfortunately seems to have been a one-off and not a perennial offering.
Looking back at the teas I've most (and least) enjoyed, it seems that I prefer the organic, lighter-steamed senchas and certain karigane-rich Japanese green blends such as O-cha's Sakura Sencha.
I share all this because it seems that modern tastes (more umami! more steaming!) have made it hard for us umami-haters to find our preferred sencha. With my closest candidate no longer available, I have to ask: any sencha recommendations for tea drinkers like me?

Horton Loaned Again
The Columbus Dispatch - May 29, 2013 02:03 PM
Aaron Horton has another short-term home.
The Crew's first homegrown player signing has been loaned to the L.A. Blues of the USL Professional division. According to a release, the loan is a short-term deal, but further details have not been made available. Check back later for more details.
In April 2012, Horton was loaned to the Dayton Dutch Lions of the USL Pro before being returned less than two weeks later when injuries ravaged the Crew's roster. He saw action in just one exhibition match with the Dutch Lions and did not make the first-team roster with the Crew for the rest of the season. He also made eight appearances as a substitute for the Crew's reserve-league team.
Horton spent the offseason unsuccessfully trying to land full-time loan deals with Bosnia's FK Sarajevo in Bosnia and Sweden's Hammarby IF. He returned to the Crew after missing the preseason, suffered a torn meniscus and has made one substitute appearance for the Crew's reserves since returning.
This is the last year of Horton's contract with the Crew.

U.S. Women's Pan Am Cup Press Kit:
Flip Book Version - PDF Version
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 30, 2011) – U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) has announced the 12-player roster that will compete at the 2011 X Women's Pan American Cup held July 1-9 at Juarez, Mexico.
McCutcheon's squad will include middle blockers Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.), who will also serve as captain. Outside hitters taking part in the Pan American Cup are Angie Forsett (Lake Mary, Fla.), Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) and Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.). The opposites are Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Setters on the roster are Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.), while the libero is Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.).
The Team USA roster for the Pan American Cup has some similarity to the recently completed Montreux Volley Masters, but with some key changes to continue the evaluation process of the athletes during the third year of the Olympic quadrennial. Hodge and Metcalf, who did not travel to Switzerland for the Montreux Volley Masters, are on the Pan American Cup roster. Akinradewo, who traveled to Switzerland but only played during an exhibition match against Switzerland, is one of the three middle blockers on the 12-player Pan American Cup roster and will potentially see more playing time.
The American roster for the 2011 Pan American Cup has four athletes with Olympic Games experience and seven with FIVB World Championship matches. Davis, Tamas and Kim Glass all won the silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, while Metcalf was a member of the 2004 Olympic Games team. Along with those four athletes, Alisha Glass, Larson, Akinradewo and Hodge all have played at the FIVB World Championships.
The 12-team Pan American Cup serves as a qualifier into the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix. The top four teams from the NORCECA confederation, Brazil and the top South American team other than Brazil based the 2011 Pan American Cup final rankings will advance to the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix. Brazil, due to its commercial contract, is automatically entitled to participate in the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix.
The U.S. Women's National Team opens Pool B with Peru on July 1 at 4 p.m., followed by Puerto Rico on July 2 at 8 p.m. The Americans will face Trinidad & Tobago on July 3 at 6 p.m. and Costa Rica on July 4 at 8 p.m. The U.S. closes out pool play against Brazil, the top-ranked team in the world, on July 5 at 8 p.m. All Pool B matches will be played at the Universidad Autonoma de Cuidad Juarez or UACJ (www.uacj.mx).
Pool A consists of Argentina, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Mexico.
After a day of rest on July 6, classification matches begin on July 7. Quarterfinal matches will feature pool crossovers of second- and third-place teams, while the pool winners advance directly to the July 8 semifinals. Medal-round and final classification matches take place on the final day of the event on July 9. The majority of the second phase of the tournament will be played at the Colegio de Bachilleres del Estado de Baja California or COBACH (www.cobachbc.edu.mx).
The Montreux Volley Masters allowed for ample evaluation time for the athletes as eight different players averaged at least two points per set. Kim Glass scored 75 points at the Montreux Volley Masters to tie for the team-high, averaging 3.57 points per set. Fawcett averaged 3.13 points per set as part of a 43.9 kill percent. Tamas converted 54.1 percent of her attacks with a .446 hitting efficiency as part of a 2.14 points scored average. Forsett totaled 36 points in 11 sets to claim averages of 0.82 blocks and 3.27 points per set with a 50.0 kill percent. The setting combination of Spicer and Alisha Glass helped the Americans to a .265 team hitting efficiency, while Davis provided a 4.29 dig average. Larson, who was primarily used as a reserve off the bench at Montreux, still averaged 2.09 points per set with a team-high 21 points versus China in the bronze-medal match.
The U.S. Women's National Team claimed the bronze medal at last year's Pan American Cup held in Mexico, which qualified the team into the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix. The Americans won all five of their pool play matches in straight sets with victories over Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, Costa Rica and Mexico. The U.S. lost to the eventual champions Dominican Republic in four sets during the semifinal round, but bounced back to sweep rival Cuba in the bronze-medal match.
The U.S. typically sends a mix of young and experienced players to the Pan American Cup for evaluation purposes for future events. The Americans' bronze medal at the 2010 event was their first medal at the Pan American Cup since a silver-medal finish in 2004. Team USA captured the gold medal in the 2003 edition of the Pan American Cup, while also claiming a bronze medal in 2002.

The concept of the Dead Pool is simple. Each week you will select an NFL team that you think will LOSE. If your chosen team DOES NOT LOSE (this means the team wins, or worse, ties), you're dead. This is not a re-buy event. Once you are dead, you are out unless everyone dies (see below). The rules couldn't be simpler, right? And before you ask, YES you can pick the same team more than once. Dead horses need to be beaten, but occasionally they get up. This process continues until only one person (or so) is left (see Below). Think of this as a reverse raffle. Entry fee for the Dead Pool is a one time flat fee of $10. There is no limit on the number of entries, but each entry in 10 bucks. As they say in the commercial – "Do the Math". 2 entries, 20 bucks, and so on.
Each week you remain alive, I need the team you think will lose over the course of a weekend. You must call, e-mail, snail mail, smoke signal, somehow get your pick to me by Sunday at 1300 hrs eastern time. (This is 1'oclock PM for the rest of the world). That is kickoff time for most weeks. I cannot overly stress the importance of calling your pick in before the deadline. The ONLY exception to this rule; weeks with a Thursday or Saturday game that you wish to use. Should you decide to play an earlier game, your pick must be called in prior to kickoff of the first game that day. (Opening Day, Thanksgiving, and December Thursday and Saturday games come to mind).
Last year's contest had over 350 entries.
If interested, send me a message and I'll forward the entry form to you

What do I do now?December 9, 2010 by Bruce Landsberg
Last spring was not Air India Express's finest hour when the Boeing 737 first officer inadvertently disengaged the autopilot and the flight plunged nearly 7,000 feet from cruising altitude.
"The 25-year-old co-pilot was adjusting his seat forward but instead pressed the control column forward, putting the Boeing 737 into a 26-degree nosedive " reports ABC News. The captain had gone aft to attend to physiological needs when the aircraft headed earthward in a big hurry. The cockpit door was locked so there was some delay getting back onto the flight deck. One can only imagine that conversation!
The notable comment of the month was the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation mentioning that the young co-pilot had not been trained to handle the situation and "probably had no clue to tackle this kind of emergency".
What emergency? An aircraft in cruise disengages the autopilot?
So what appears to be true is that this first officer was
- Incapable of moving around in a cockpit without bumping critical flight controls. That seems like a rather important skill to master.
- Unable to diagnose that the autopilot has disconnected and the aircraft has entered a power dive? The recovery is something that any private pilot is required to demonstrate on a practical test. (Reduce power, roll wings level, smoothly raise the nose to level flight and gradually reapply power.) Ditto comments above.
- Unable to unlock the cabin door – although admittedly, a 26 degree nose down attitude with a rapidly increasing bank angle and airspeed could be somewhat distracting.
The pilot's announcement to the terrified cabin, after control and composure was sort of regained, was that the aircraft had hit an "Air Pocket" which was the cause of the near-death experience. (Not to worry – the great and powerful Oz has every – thing – under – control – I hope. )
The Directorate General also noted that the 25 year old co-pilot would be " dealt with." That's a given but what of the airline training department and the government certification process that ever allowed the situation to progress to this point? And how come it took 6 months for this to become public? Inquiring minds are inquiring.
As the U.S. struggles with how to staff flight airline decks with competent pilots there may be something to learn here. I hope the Indian political establishment resists the temptation to "assist" and lets the responsible safety professionals address the issues. That may include termination of some officials.
Basic airmanship is coming more into question as the aircraft increasingly "fly themselves." The Colgan accident in Buffalo bears some superficial similarity. Within GA, we see very sophisticated flight management systems on even the most basic of aircraft and there is some concern that many pilots are becoming too automation dependent and when it fails or is mismanaged, they are unable to recover.
This incident occurred only a few days after another Air India Express B737 overshot a runway with 158 fatalities, ostensibly because the pilot was fatigued. More shades of Colgan.
These problems do not happen in isolation and the fact that something didn't develop into an accident is often because the last link or two in the accident chain was missing. Do you feel lucky?
This unfortunate and unflattering sequence began long before nature's call beckoned the PIC from the flight deck. That point applies to all flight operations be they GA, corporate, or air carrier.

The remaining Friday night heads up races, including the one scheduled for this Friday night, have been cancelled. The feed back I got from the racers was they didn't want to run on Friday night, and the turnout at the previews certainly proved that.
It may have been a flawed plan from the start, and we will learn from it. Give us time to ponder, and we will see what else we can schedule this year.
We are going to go ahead and try the CHEAP STREET races as scheduled. We will drop the tag and insurance rule, for cheap street and see if that helps the car count.

A take on why the White House and the Obama campaign just can't get independents, and how gas prices (gas prices?) play into it.
Leave a Response
We Believe:
As independents, we are not interested in more political parties. Look where the two we have got us today.
The more people who participate in our democratic form of government, the stronger we make our country.
We want to vote FOR candidates, not against them. We don't believe in voting for the lesser of two evils or the "least worst" candidate.
People are imperfect; political candidates are people; therefore there is no perfect candidate.
To take back our government, independent American voters must help break the two parties' stranglehold on our elections.
Independent voters are the deciding swing vote in every close election.
Anyone or any group that intentionally attempts to depress voter turnout is guilty of a crime against Democracy.
America's Democracy, not just "participative" Democracy, is the best and most just system of government the world has ever known.
The two major political parties are more interested in money and power and control than they are in governing for the good of the American people.
More people participate in elections when they are given more choices, more candidates, more ideas, more honest opinions, and more voices.
We maintain our freedom to vote for the candidate of our choice in every election, regardless of party affiliation or lack thereof.
Young people overwhelmingly self-identify as Independents. They are working hard to take this country forward with new ideas, new ways of communicating, and new ways of building communities.
A take on why the White House and the Obama campaign just can't get independents, and how gas prices (gas prices?) play into it.
