If It's Mattel, It's Swell
From the age of 16, Phoenix, Arizona-native Mark Barbee has been actively involved in customizing fullsize trucks. His first effort was an '02 GMC Sierra 1500-and then two years later an '04 GMC 2500 HD. While 16 might sound like a tender young age to some folks, Mark told us that his passion for trucks started at a much younger age, when he must have still been in kindergarten. The truck that Mark traces it all back to was his grandpa's '65 Chevy Big-Window shortbed Fleetside. Unfortunately, when ethe time came for his grandfather to pass the truck on, it was one of Mark's uncles who outranked him in age and inherited the '65. As fate would have it, the uncle parked the short-wide Fleetside in a doomed spot and returned to discover the truck had been run over by a damned old train. In January 2003 Mark bought the '63 Chevy C-10 gracing our cover from a friend at work for $2,500. Tracing the '63's history, he found that the pickup was originally a farm truck from Casa Grande, Arizona. The original owner must have spotted it at the dealership and chose it because it had 283 V-8 with a compound four-speed-and the Big-Window option was just along for the ride. Mark used the Chevy as a daily driver for around two years before he commenced with the truck's radical transformation.
The first thing Mark did to launch his '63 into its new incarnation as a radical show truck was to set the stance. Mark's decision to lay the C-10 out hard on 26-inch wheels meant a severely modified chassis was in order. There wasn't a whole lot of the stock frame left by the time Mark and his friend Kevin at Grunion Fabrication in Phoenix were done. The two teamed up with a stack of 2×4-inch box steel-and didn't stop until the truck was laid out on 26-inch wheels. The only commercially available suspension parts used were 21/2-inch drop spindles from Belltech and a quartet of bags from Firestone. Mark and Kevin modified the stock Chevy A-arms to take care of the front suspension and a four-link setup to handle the rear. To pump the truck up to drive at ride height, Viair compressors rely on two optima yellowTop batteries placed under the bed floor to provide an ample supply of 12-volt juice. Speaking of the bed floor, it's a solid oak beauty from Bruce Horkey of Windom, Minnesota. The blind bedstrips are polished stainless steel.
A 20-gallon fuel cell is the start of the food chain for the '63's powertrain. Up front, rick and Mike at rick's Automotive built a ramjet 350-inch Chevy small-block motor estimated to put out 340 hp with 400 lb-ft of torque. To transfer power to a 10-bolt Chevy rearend packing 4.11:1 gears with a posi, Mark's friend Mario rebuilt a 700-r4 and stuffed it in. A custom exhaust system with Dynomax products is tucked up within the framerails to allow the '63 to sit completely flat when it's laid out.
The '63 model was the last year for the pod-style dashboard with a wraparound windshield for Chevrolet trucks. The dual-pod dash design provided a natural progression for Steve at Definitive Auto to create a totally radical environment. The head unit is an Eclipse with DVD and navigation capabilities. Steve built custom cabinetry to house a load of high-end sound equipment from Memphis Audio. A 12-inch Memphis subwoofer mounted in the console handles the bass, while Memphis Audio mids and separates mounted in the kick and rear panels dispense harmonious musical sounds throughout the cab. once Steve had the sound system up and running, Todd at the Interior Shop in Phoenix wrapped the panels. The source for the bucket seats in Mark's cab started out as a pair of '85 Camaro buckets, but by the time Victor had cut, chopped, and sewed them up in two-tone brown leather with a baseball stitch, it would be hard to identify where they were from. The air conditioning from Vintage Air helps fend off the blazing Arizona heat. Unusual features of Mark's '63 are the power reverse hood and suicide doors. The power hood gets its boost from a pair of screw-type linear actuators from the folks at Electric life. Proving that Electric life has more to do with the inner workings of a classic truck than just electricity, the mono hinges Mark used to suspend his suicide doors are from Electric life as well.
In contrast to the '63's radical fullcustom stance fronted by its 24-inch Devino wheels shod with Toyo tires, is the stark simplicity of the super-deep, pearl-blue paint applied by Jim Michaud of Phoenix. Jim started with House of Kolor's lime-green-colored DTM primer and didn't stop until the topcoat was a stunning HoK True Blue Pearl buried under a deep coating of HoK clear urethane.
After winning best custom truck at the 2007 SEMA show in las Vegas, Mark learned that Mattel is going to issue a Hot Wheels version of his truck. It should be in a toy stores everywhere by the time this issue hits the newsstands.

"... I had a paper bag head and on top of the bag I glued a board with a barrier strip.
But yeah, some where over 100V. Might have been ~135V (67.5+45+22.5, if I remember standard B batteries from the late 50s / early 60s. Nowadays we'd be looking at 90 standard C, D, or AA cells, or 100 to 112 AA NiCads. It would start to look like a small Tesla power pack!
The military surplus bag I used for the batteries looks like it was the M6 Gas Mask Carrier bag. I doubt it's around anymore, but it did yeoman service for a year or two as a bookbag I could strap to my bicycle handlebars.

Virtual Dinner Creates Cultural Connections
Violet Jiang, a American University student from the People's Republic of China in the International Media program was having trouble with an assignment for her production practicum course. The goal: interview Americans about whether the United States is the best place to come to build a better life. The challenge: no one wanted to give her any answers with a camera. The solution: more transparency.
"We told them 'We are having a video dinner with people from Egypt. Can you help us with some answers?' And they said, 'How cool!'" Violet remembers.
This is just one of the key assignments in professor Erica Burman's Spring 2014 production practicum course. The assignment took the already diverse group of International Media students and linked them via Skype for several virtual meals with university students in Egypt. The concept is to share a meal, have a discussion and then challenge students to go out and produce videos that answer questions at the heart of the Skype discussion. The idea is the brainchild of Eric Maddox, the founder of the Virtual Dinner Guest Project.
"What Maddox is doing with this project is taking cross-cultural communication concepts and putting them into action," says School of Communication Professor Rick Rockwell, the director of the International Media program, which is a joint program offered by AU's School of International Service and SOC. "When we had the chance to get students involved in this, we leapt at the opportunity."
Burman was excited about the possibilities. "It taps into everything they are learning in the class," Burman says. "It is not just a constructed project. It is real and it connects them to young people who are working in similar areas in other parts of the world."
The students at American University had challenged the Egyptians to ask about what advice the typical Egyptian would give to those in the next generation. Maddox, who organized the student group in Cairo, acknowledged the special video production challenges of the project especially when he would accompany the student crews. "There were real issues of xenophobia," he says. "Egyptian authorities questioned why an American was out recording videos with students." Like the students in Washington, D.C., the Egyptian students rose to the challenge and produced a video to spark further conversation. Read more on student Kaye Adoo's blog, Ode to the Dame.
Although planning took months, the students connected directly for three weeks. After the first meal, a production challenge was issued to make videos that reflected the foundations of the discussion. Then there was time for production, followed by a final meal where the students shared experiences, videos, and sparked new discussions.
The exchanges between the students went on for several hours and the conversation turned from the original discussion of opportunities and challenges for a new generation to controversial topics such as women's rights, sexual harassment, and religious freedom.
Students in both Cairo and Washington, D.C. said they were enthused to be part of this important project. And their instructors expressed similar sentiments. "It's fun to be part of something bigger," Burman said. "This project definitely made the students prepare for something on a grander scale."

Ticks Invade the Trails - Page 2
"Then I was running the Voyageur [50-Mile in Carlton, Minnesota] and started getting goose bumps. Pictures of me during the race showed that my skin was red-tinted," says Olson. "The morning after a race I can usually move around fine or even go for a run, but this time I could barely lift my feet off the ground."
Olson came down with a 102-degree fever that lasted several weeks. Despite initial doctor's visits yielding no answers, his condition worsened: his left hand swelled, pain in his lower spine rendered him unable to bend over and he was unable to work. Finally, he visited a different doctor who diagnosed him with Lyme disease and prescribed antibiotics.
"I ended up seeing six different doctors and didn't come off of antibiotics until June 2011," he says. "And I still have some lingering symptoms."

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the World Economic Forum on the Middle East
Dead Sea, Jordan
15 May 2009
My Friends,
Powerful solutions are driven by powerful goals. And I am here to urge you: accept no limits on your goals today. At this year's Forum, you will be addressing the most critical issues of our time. Let your answers be just as bold.
Answers that not simply help our countries get through the global economic downturn but ensure the region emerges as a powerhouse: the go-to place for opportunity and wealth-building and a determining factor in reshaping the global economy.
Answers that not only boost education and research capacity but make our region the house of genius for the 21st century, the source of innovation, discovery and expanded horizons.
And answers that not only end conflicts but create a thriving, secure, comprehensive peace.
Make no mistake about it, these goals are within reach. And yours is the capability, yours is the know-how, yours are the partnerships that will help put them in our grasp.
I know that it is easy, in the hard days of 2009, to feel that events are being shaped elsewhere. A global recession that began far from our borders has affected growth and shaken confidence on every continent. In political and security affairs, short-sightedness has prevented the resolution of conflicts. And occupation and the violation of the basic rights to freedom, to dignity and to a life of opportunity still deny our region the peace it needs to realise its full potential.
These challenges are powerful but they do not have the power to break this region or make its future. That make-or-break power is ours. With the right choices, with courage and will, we can, and must, create the future our people deserve.
It begins with a regionwide consensus on action - a home-grown, home-based approach to unity, progress and peace.
Nowhere is this unity more evident than in the Arab Peace Initiative - the historic opening to a better future for every citizen in this region: negotiated settlement, that will finally end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two-state solution, which meets the legitimate right of the Palestinians to freedom and statehood and offers Israel the security guarantees and normal relations it needs.
We have committed. So, now, must Israel. The Arab Peace Initiative has offered Israel a place in the neighbourhood and more: acceptance by 57 nations, the one-third of the UN members that do not recognise Israel. This is true security - security that barriers and armed forces cannot bring.
But the time to act is not indefinite. Every delay has brought more danger, not only for the parties but for the region and indeed, the world. There must be no more missed opportunities, no more process without progress. What is needed is real action and real results: a clear plan for comprehensive negotiations and a vigorous leadership commitment to reach the end-game.
This is the message I conveyed to President Obama when I met with him, just a few weeks ago. I was encouraged by the President's commitment to the two-state solution, within a regional approach to a comprehensive peace. I was encouraged that in all my conversations in Washington, it was clear that people know: inaction is not an option.
The new American commitment has now opened an opportunity to change the direction of events. But no single step will get us where we need to be. Just as the United States has committed to momentum, so we in the region - and all our friends - must keep the focus on results. Let us carry the message worldwide: the groundwork is in place. There are no excuses for failure.
My Friends,
The Arab Peace Initiative is just one expression of our region's determination to shape its own positive future. That same sense of purpose and unity must govern economic and other activity as well.
Challenging economic times call upon us to focus more clearly than ever on the essentials - the investments and opportunities that will build economic resilience as well as meet our peoples' needs.
To succeed, we must build regional multi-sector, multi-skill partnerships. No single entity owns the region's most pressing challenges - or their solution. Responsive, up-to-date education systems, the management of water and other scarce resources, health and environmental solutions, urban and community development: these and many other regional priorities can be addressed most effectively by combining our capabilities.
A vital dynamic in this Forum is your attention to our most important home-grown asset: youth. The 21st century has brought the Middle East its largest youth population in history. In only a few years, we will be looking to these 200 million young men and women for our region's strategies, partnerships, and solutions. They need and deserve all the tools we can give them, to become the great leaders they are capable of being. To the region's young leaders, know this: you have the power to transform the future. Set powerful goals. All of us here today, will help.
My Friends,
These Forums are forward-looking events. But today, we must also look back. This day, May 15, throughout the world, people commemorate the Nakba, the Catastrophe that began for the Palestinian people 61 years ago. At family tables tonight, there will be elders who can tell of entire lifetimes of sorrow and loss - and newborns, who may be the fourth generation - the fourth generation! - born into conflict and an uncertain future.
This history has been a catastrophe not only for Palestinians, but for the entire Middle East - I would say the entire world. As we join in remembering all that has been lost, as we feel compassion for all who have suffered, let us also commit ourselves to joining the solution as well.
Together, through our own initiatives, I believe our region can lead the world away from destruction and toward the future we need: an undivided Middle East, empowered by cooperation, and determined to lead; an era of promise for every one of our children, for lives of dignity, opportunity, and hope.
Your work here will help make that future real. I thank you for being here. And I wish you the very best success, now and in the days and months ahead.

Ironman to stay through 2018
Agreement keeps triathlon in Madison for next 6 years
MADISON, Wis. - Ironman is set to return to the Mad City each fall for the next six years.
The annual triathlon-race organizers announced Friday that the partnership with the city will extend through 2018.
The Madison Area Sports Commission chair, Vince Sweeney, said the agreement is another reason he considers Madison as a sports destination.
"The bigger win is really for all of us who live here," Sweeney said in a news release announcing the extended agreement. "We get to continue to host a world class athletic event [and] we also benefit from the significant economic impact that this event has on our area."
Organizers said the Ironman draws more than 45,000 spectators who line the course through rural areas and the downtown streets of Madison. In the fall event, athletes swim 2.4 miles in Lake Monona, followed by a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run that finishes at the State Capitol, all without a break.
The Ironman Wisconsin race has been held in Madison for the last 12 years, the organization said.
Ironman 2013 in Madison is scheduled for Sept. 8. According to the race website, the event is already sold out.

Parkinson's Awareness Month
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Patrick Brown Barrie, ON
Mr. Speaker, April is Parkinson's Awareness Month in Canada. It is one of the most common brain conditions affecting over 100,000 Canadians today. Parkinson's is chronic, progressive and results in increasing disability that dramatically impacts individuals, families and communities across Canada, including in my riding of Barrie, where Greg McGuinnes has continued his hard work to combat this condition in our community with his annual fundraiser and events that raise awareness.
Integrated care and services, income security, protection from genetic discrimination and caregiver support are just a few of the key issues that impact daily life for people with Parkinson's and their families.
As we enter Parkinson's Awareness Month, I would like to encourage every member of Parliament to think about their constituents living with Parkinson's. This insidious disease affects men and women of every age, and they are relying on our leadership to help them live the highest quality and most productive lives possible.
12th Jutra Awards Gala
Statements By Members

Pablo Rodriguez Honoré-Mercier, QC
Mr. Speaker, the 12th Jutra awards gala, a not to be missed celebration of the Quebec cinema, was held yesterday.
I want to congratulate all the winners and mention the huge success of the films J'ai tué ma mère/I Killed my Mother and Polytechnique. These two movies reflect the new generation of Quebec creators, who are inspired by the province's rich cinematographic heritage, while also showing daring, humanism and sensitivity. Because of this, they have earned tremendous recognition, both at home and abroad.
With their ambition and ability to succeed at the international level, without compromising the quality of their art, they are to a credit to Quebec's creators, artists and artisans. When Quebec shines at the world level, all of Canada also shines with it.
On behalf of the Liberal Party, I want to reiterate our support to Quebec artists, and to congratulate all the winners and nominees at the 12th Jutra awards gala.
I am going to conclude by asking the Conservative government to pay greater attention to Quebec culture. It is a hotbed of innovation and deserves the government's support.
Saguenay Fjord
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean and Upper North Shore regions can boast about an absolutely spectacular natural site, namely the Saguenay fjord. This old glacial valley has historic value and an amazing variety of wildlife that make the locals very proud.
I asked Dr. Jules Dufour, professor emeritus at UQAC, to assess the possibility of getting the Saguenay fjord on UNESCO's world heritage list. He came to the conclusion that the Saguenay fjord has everything it needs to obtain international recognition at UNESCO.
The hon. member for Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord and myself are going to do all we can to convince the Canadian government to put that site on its 2014 indicative list. The recognition of the Saguenay fjord by UNESCO is an ambitious and promising project.
Organized Crime
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, western provinces are taking action to fight organized crime. Alberta and Manitoba have just introduced legislation to prohibit body armour. In Manitoba's case, it also includes controls on fortified vehicles that have had armour and other security features added to make them more difficult for police to deal with. The controls being proposed allow legitimate use for security officials. In another move, Manitoba is amending legislation to allow justice officials to take civil action against gang properties and businesses in order to deny the criminals the incentive of income derived from crime.
While that is a civil law approach to challenging gang activity, the question being asked is why the federal Conservative government, with its supposedly tough on crime attitude, is not co-operating with the provinces to make the body armour and fortified vehicles restriction a Canada-wide effort under the Criminal Code.
Why does the Conservative government not take steps to take away profits from organized crime?
Bob Matheson
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
James Rajotte Edmonton—Leduc, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to commemorate the life of Mr. Bob Matheson, who passed away in November, just shy of his 90th birthday.
Bob led a truly extraordinary life, a life which he completely devoted to others: his family, his community and his country.
Mr. Matheson served in World War II with the Royal Canadian Air Force and he remained dedicated to our men and women in uniform for the rest of his life.
Bob was instrumental in helping to shape the city of Edmonton as an alderman from 1974 to 1977. He practised law for 50 years and served as president of the Edmonton Law Society.
Mr. Matheson was a leader in our community in making it safer. He helped establish the Edmonton Crime Stoppers program, for which he received the Order of Canada in 1989, and was given the distinguished lifetime member designation of the Edmonton Police Service. As a conscientious taxpayer, he helped form and served as the president of the Alberta and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Bob Matheson's life and achievements made our community a better place to live. I ask all parliamentarians to join me in recognizing this truly great Canadian.
Retirement Congratulations

2:05 p.m.
Marcel Proulx Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, every night at 6 p.m. for nearly four decades, the people of eastern Ontario and western Quebec tuned in to the trusted local newscasts of Max Keeping. Their loyalty to him as a CJOH TV news anchor has only been surpassed by his loyalty to them as citizens of his beloved community.
And make no mistake, Max Keeping knew his community intimately, not just because of his 51 years as a local journalist, but because he made it his mission to give as much of himself to that community as humanly possible. It is estimated that Max has participated in the collection of more that $100 million in charitable donations in the Ottawa area. He participated in about 200 community events and still does each year and every year.
On a personal note, I fondly recall Max's participation early one chilly December morning during the annual Media's Big Food Drive to help needy families.
I congratulate Max on his retirement as news anchor after 37 years. We will miss seeing his face on TV every night, but I know we will continue to see him at the community centres, the charity halls, the food banks, the hospitals and anywhere else he is needed.
Brandon University
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, March 19, I had the pleasure of welcoming the Prime Minister of Canada to Brandon, Manitoba. The Prime Minister announced our government's financial commitment for a new Brandon University healthy living centre. The centre will host gymnasiums and indoor track, training and treatment services, as well as a facility for fitness classes. Highly efficient, the building will use sustainable and recycled materials earning it "Certified LEED Silver" and both students and residents will have access to the health centre.
The announcement fulfills the dreams of so many who have poured countless time, effort and donations into this new facility and will now permit them to accomplish their goal in realizing a healthy living centre for Brandon University and all of western Manitoba.
We are fortunate to have a Prime Minister and a government that understands that strong communities mean strong provinces and a strong country. For that, I thank the Prime Minister on behalf of the people of Brandon—Souris. For Brandon University, I say, "Let's get it done. Go Bobcats".
Canadian Freestyle Ski Championships

Pascal-Pierre Paillé Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday there was a Quebec sweep in the women's dual moguls at the Canadian Freestyle Ski Championships.
By the end of the event, the Dufour-Lapointe sisters from Montreal had taken all three places on the podium.
While the youngest, Justine, took the bronze medal and the eldest, Maxime, took the silver, the gold went to the middle sister, Chloé. It was her first-ever national seniors title.
Chloé had already proved her worth at the Olympic Games in Vancouver, taking fifth place in the moguls. She was also eighth in the final standings of the moguls World Cup.
It was a remarkable achievement for the Dufour-Lapointe sisters. My colleagues in the Bloc Québécois join with me in saluting their impressive performance and wishing them further success and happiness in their sport.
Vimy Ridge Day

March 29th, 2010 / 2:05 p.m.
Greg Kerr West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, Canada's contribution to the first world war helped define us as a nation and shaped the country in which we live today.
That is why on April 9, Vimy Ridge Day, Canadians will stand united in remembrance of and gratitude to those who authored one of the most important chapters in our nation's history.
In addition to the national commemorative ceremony in Ottawa on April 9, there will be international ceremonies as well as activities in our provincial and territorial capitals to recognize all those who served Canada during the first world war.
We are also providing the opportunity for the public to pay their respects by signing special books of reflection, which will be on display at various locations across the country and overseas. These books of reflection will also be available online at the Veterans Affairs Canada website.
Project Hero

Rob Oliphant Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the efforts of Honorary Lieutenant-Colonel Kevin Reed for his tremendous exercise in citizenship in the establishment of Project Hero.
In honouring the sacrifice of Canadian men and women killed in military service, Project Hero not only remembers the past, but looks to the future. By providing scholarships to children of fallen soldiers, Project Hero ensures their legacy will not only be captured in stone memorials and solemn commemorations, but will be a living legacy to the opportunities afforded their children by receiving higher education.
Mr. Reed and the colleges and universities that have joined in this fitting tribute deserve commendation from every Canadian who reaps the benefits of safety, democracy, human rights and dignity, those things the parents of these young adults fought to establish and preserve.
To the recent critics of the program, quite simply, they are wrong. To the founders of the program, we thank them for honouring our soldiers and recognizing the critical importance of higher education for the success of a nation.

Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, jobs and the economy are our government's top priorities because they are the top priorities of Canadians. In year two of our economic action plan, we have protected the jobs of today while laying the groundwork to create the jobs of tomorrow. We have done so by keeping taxes low because we know that higher taxes kill jobs.
Yet, at the Liberal spenders conference held this weekend, every tax hike imaginable was discussed. On Friday, the Liberals called for the GST to be raised. On Saturday, the Liberals rallied once again around their job-killing carbon tax on everything. On Sunday, the Liberal leader announced that he would raise job-killing business taxes to pay for his reckless spending promises.
We know the Liberal leader is a self-described tax and spend Liberal, but raising taxes would kill jobs and stop our recovery dead in its tracks. This proves yet again that he is not in it for Canadians, he is only in it for himself.
Union and Community Activist

Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, this weekend in Ottawa, a full house of admirers toasted longtime union and community activist Clarence Dungey on his 75th birthday. For most of his life, Clarence has been a champion of all things fair and just, including his time as Sault Ste. Marie labour council president.
He has touched a lot of people, including my own family. For many years, a virtual picture of Clarence held a prominent place above our devout Catholic family's kitchen table, alongside a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. That is because, among other things, my parents lived for the last 25 years of their lives on the pension Clarence negotiated for them.
Clarence knew the power of community working together for the common good. We should all be concerned today as we see unions come under attack in places like Sudbury and as governments look for ways to lower wages for workers and taxes for corporations.
Today I salute Clarence and all others like him across the country who support the right of workers to organize and fight for the dignity of all.

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, the conference of Liberal Party big spenders is over. We naturally want to know what great, innovative ideas were hatched this weekend. Over three days, they suggested raising the GST to 7%, an idea that the Liberal leader did not reject. They proposed a carbon tax, an idea that the Liberal leader was the first to defend during his failed leadership race. They also suggested increasing business taxes in order to fund their grandiose spending programs.
This is only one more step in the Liberals' plans to raise fees and taxes. After 34 years out of Canada, the Liberal Party leader has returned with an ill-considered plan for tax increases. Tax increases will kill jobs, dampen our economic recovery, and be a backward step for Canadians.
The Liberal Party leader does not care about the Canadian taxpayer; all he cares about is himself.
12th Jutra Awards Gala

Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, all of Quebec honoured Quebec film at the Jutra awards ceremony, which I had the pleasure of attending at the TOHU in Montreal. Once again, we were blown away by the talent and creativity of the artists, as well as by the diversity and quality of the films.
It was obvious at this gala that a new generation of actors, producers and film professionals are re-energizing and renewing the creativity of the Quebec nation.
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I wish to extend sincere congratulations to the recipients. Thank you, Anne Dorval, Sébastien Ricard, Pierre Gill, Denis Villeneuve and Xavier Dolan. Thanks to all of you for the beautiful emotions.
I would like to repeat the message of the lifetime achievement award recipient, René Malo, who said that film funding has not increased in the past 10 years although budgets have doubled. He added that piracy is the cancer of our film industry and warrants a solid copyright law.
The support we give to the Quebec film industry must be equal to its talent.

Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, in the past few months, thousands of Canadians participated in a national conversation on the Canada we want to see in 2017, on our 150th birthday.
This weekend, thousands of others participated in the "Canada at 150: Rising to the Challenge" conference.
In the last three days, we had more than 70 events across the country and more than 25,000 people participated via the Internet. Our panellists in Montreal took questions from Glace Bay, Fredericton, Whitehorse and all points in between. This was an exciting step forward for public policy, for citizen engagement, and for Canadian democracy.
I want to thank those who worked and took part this weekend. I invite all Canadians, including members of the House, to join us as we continue to make public policy in public. I also wish to thank my co-chairs, Dominique Anglade, Randy Boissonnault and Dr. Martha Piper, for their wonderful contribution.

Skip to comments.Republican Breakup?
Posted on 07/30/2003 11:25:27 AM PDT by hsmomx3
If you put your ear to the ground, you can hear the rumble. It is the rumble of political discontent, obsolete bipolarities, and looming realignment. What am I talking about? Im talking about the coming split of the Republican Party.
Years ago, Jeff Foxworthy blessed America with his you might be a redneck jokes. Drawing upon his comedic methodology:
If you fear the one true God, define America as a Christian Nation, seek to make Gods Law the law of the land, think of homosexuals as freaks and sinners, and want to jail women who have abortions you might be a Republican.
If you think history has bequeathed a destiny upon America to serve as the worlds policeman, to liberate oppressed nations, and you love to stay up all night strategizing on how to isolate the Saudis or punish France you might be a Republican.
If you think it is the proper role of a Jeffersonian state to steal money from citizens to build civic plazas and university labs you might be a Republican.
If you dont care about ballooning budget deficits, and want to jack up government spending as though the rising debt never needs to be paid...you might be a Republican.
If you cant stand deficits, are firmly committed to balancing the budget, and want to dramatically cut taxes and spending well, you might have been a Republican in 1980.
There are at least five categories above, and all of them consist of people who identify with the GOP. They are, in order: theocratic Christian conservatives (there are, thank God, non-theocratic ones as well), neoconservatives, Chamber of Commerce Republicans who practice crony capitalism, the Bushies, and finally the blessed fiscal conservatives.
So whats the problem? These people cannot possibly coexist in the same party for much longer. This is especially true now that Republicans in power have abandoned fiscal responsibility. They now stand for nothing certainly nothing that would meaningfully separate them from big-spending Democrats.
Republicans were supposed to be about freedom freedom from that monster which takes freedom away government. The GOP was supposed to get the government off our backs. This hasnt happened, and government at all levels is violating our rights now more than ever.
The above five groups can really be reduced to two kinds of people. There are those people that want to be left alone, and there are those people that refuse to leave others alone. The former simply want to be left alone to pursue their happiness, and are happy to leave others alone to do the same. They understand governments proper role is limited to securing this freedom from those (criminals and foreign threats) who would aggress upon their peaceful lives. The latter group are all basically civil thugs. They want to impose their vision of the good on others by force. They dont care if youre living a peaceful, happy life. In fact, they might hold it against you. They want to take your money, or arrest you for any number of reasons. Got weed? To jail you go. Got a gay lover? To jail you go. Got a cancer treatment they havent approved? To jail you go. Got a successful business? Hows 40% off the top sound?
Republicans used to be the leave-me-alone crowd, and Democrats the thugs. Things are messier now.
What we can expect to see in the coming decade or two is a realignment. There are lots and lots of fine leave-me-alone people in the GOP. They dont hate gays or brown people. They are pro-abortion and anti-tax. They are basically libertarians, but see themselves as too pragmatic to join the Libertarian Party.
There are also some leave-me-aloners in the Democratic camp. I call them smart gay people: they are too gay to be Republican, but much too smart about self-responsibility and economics to be real Democrats. Smart gay people are really good for America.
The theocratic Christian conservatives are a strong wing of the GOP. They will either grow to dominate the GOP or they will get their asses kicked out by the leave-me-alone Republicans. In any case, what we will see is a realignment that unites all the pro-freedom Americans under a major party. The religious nuts might have their own party, like the Religious Nut Party or something similar. It seems structurally impossible to break the two-party system into three or more parties, but I wouldnt dismiss the possibility altogether. In any case, two parties might be enough to represent the major threads.
There are lots of unhappy Republicans today, chafing at their partys abandonment of fiscal restraint and occupation by anti-sodomists. There are some number of Democrats that have tired of the drug war, expanded police powers, and foreign adventurism. These people need to find each other, for they are the best Americans.
They're both right.
This is a joke. Anyone who views the Christian right this way is either brain dead or has an agenda.
1st, the DemonRats will become more and more marginalized and a successful 3rd party will arise. That's only happened twice, I think, and never in this century (emphasis on "successful" meaning they become stronger and stronger and overtake one of the primary parties). This can occur if the blue-collar (non-union) democrats, the fiscal conservatives, the "Goldwater" Republicans, and some others create a 3rd party that will absorb the non-leftists from the Democrat party as well as the fiscal conservative/Goldwater Republicans. I make no likelyhood guess as to how long this would take, but I would guess it would depend on how long it takes for a dominant Republican party to become corrupted.
Alternatively, I could see the Democrat party have a revolution and kick out the Leftist demon possessed gay/green/pediphile wing. If they did that successfully and became the party of fiscal conservatism, strong border control (anti-illegal immigration), and strong military defense they could then challenge a dominant Republican party. But the DemonRats would have to be absolutely trampled into the mud for many years before this could happen. Still -- 20 years -- maybe.
"Know your enemy" is an essential principle of combat, and the author of this article shows no sincere desire to fully "know his enemy," other than to set up a comicbook characterization of people he doesn't like. His laziness and bias consign him to continued defeat and frustration.
OK Mr. Browne put your hands in the Air, and step away from the Bong.....
LOL! The DNC needs to come up with better articles if they expect to peel away any meaningful support among Republicans. On the other hand, the RINOS, the militia nutjobs, the racists, those who want to nuke Mecca, and moral-liberals who turn their blind eyes to evil should be encouraged to leave the Party.
There is already one major party that is the "Religious nut party", the uber secular Democratic party, and their miniscule cousin disguising themself as "right wing", the Libertarians.
The bottomline: As long as the only issue that the Democrats have to offer is the right to kill one's unborn child, they are doomed to minority status. I'll cheer the day they sink into the abyss. That's objective #1. When that happens, we can then debate the future of the Republican Party.
nice touch
So you do not drive on public roads, and you refuse to get a driver's license? Otherwise, you are not the little island you like to claim to be.
All I get to see on Newsstands are the RAg [sorry, Gazette flushed years ago] and the Tribune in its various regional flavours!
LOL! It's much more than a philosophy. It's a way of life! It's a religion!
This isn't an attack upon you, but I've come to despise this term "RINO." It's used by purists who wish to stigmatize Republicans they don't agree with, and it usually is followed by a statement that "I'd rather have a real liberal than a pretend Republican."
I was curious about this, so last week I went to the American Conservative Union website to look at the conservative ratings of a bonafide liberal, and a bonafide "RINO." According to the ratings of the ACU, Barbara Boxer rated a "5" with her voting record last year. Olympia Snowe, everyone's consensus "RINO," rated a "65." I'd take Snowe over Boxer, or just about any other Democrat, any day.
Your buddies just voted to keep the U.S. in the UN and piss away more American tax dollars. Laugh at the Libertarians all you want with ad hominem and the obligatory doper label, but at least they'll get us out of the UN and abolish the welfare state.
Very true they(demos) are 100% in trying to stamp out Christian influences in the US.
JMO, they are the religious nuts, in a secualr/atheistic/fundelmenatalist Islam way.
And yet you come up with this quote,
Guess that's why I can't officially become a republican
Thus giving succor to your demo cousins, IMO.
Sheesh I thought you Libertarians were aghast about fence sitters, and here in your reply #21 you declare yourself as a fence sitter.
Don't they offer it in the birdcage stores? ;-)
Exactly. The modern democrat party is basically a religion on par with fundemantalist Islam in their hatred of other views, and their miniscule cousins, the Libertarians parrot the demo religion on social issues, IMO.
Secondly, I can't ever recall seeing a group of people who opposed, and actually attempted to undermine, their own country's security like the left has done for the last 50 years. Howard Dean follows a long shameful line of useful idiots that stretches from Mondale, to McGovern, to Alger Hiss.
Everything else should be secondary.
Ok, let's look at the facts here. The one true and blue "Libertarian" in Congress, Ron Paul, put up for a vote to get the US out of the UN. Fine the Republic in action, but yet that same congressman, sided with the liberal democrats (who are big UN supporters)and the UN in saying that the US and the UK should have not removed saddam from power.
JMO, but can anybody say schizophrenia.
Not anymore they don't.
There are sufficient tensions within the Repubs to warrant at least two parties, in the absense of the Democrats. But while half the country is wedded to the left, the gulf that separates us from them keeps us wedded to each other. Its a Jackie Gleason kind of marriage, the arguing never stops, but it contrasts well with the left where dissent is spookily absent.
Among the Democrats, the only debate is whether the US is evil, or really really evil. Whether the responsibility of the government is to meet most of life's needs, or all of them.
For actual reality-based intellectual energy and exploration you have to look to the conservo-libertarian side of the street.
The Democrats are the Abortion Party, and they have done everything they can to drive believing Christians and Jews out of the party. Now they are doing what they can to drive out any remaining patriots, and anyone with a personal moral code. Since the Republican Party is a fairly big tent, where diversity of opinion actually exists, we have been the beneficiary of this shift. When better days come, our differences will be sufficient to split us into several competing parties, and I look forward to such a time. Meanwhile, we are stuck with each other, and we are a fortunate, if somewhat noisy and cranky, family.
Liberals have no tolerance for the morality that arises from religion having a positive influence on their society.

Pedestrian safety campaign
To the editor:
As the Pedestrian Safety Campaign moves forward, we would like to thank all the participants who attended the community rally, especially those attendees who identified problem intersections and proposed solutions for our crosswalks.
During the week of July 17-24, local citizens will observe driver, pedestrian and bicyclist behavior at intersections in Marshall and will compile a summary of the findings. These observations will be presented to city officials to facilitate steps toward a safer community.
As a reminder, the 1996 Minnesota Law on pedestrian safety includes the following points:
Stop for pedestrians who are ready to enter or who have entered a crosswalk, whether the intersection is marked or unmarked. The crosswalk exists from sidewalk to sidewalk, even if lines are not painted on the street.
If you are turning at an intersection, make your turn only after all pedestrians have cleared your lane.
After you have stopped for pedestrians in a crosswalk, it is legal to proceed after all pedestrians have passed your lane.
When a vehicle is stopped at an intersection to allow pedestrians to cross, drivers of other vehicles approaching from the rear must not pass the stopped vehicle(s).
Stop behind the stop bar at intersections.
Stop before the sidewalk when emerging from an alley or driveway.
Keep distractions to a minimum-eliminate cell phone use, texting and ear buds.
Before backing up, check for children, adults, bicyclists, and people in electric scooters or wheelchairs.
Obey the speed limit. Most streets in Marshall have a 30 mph speed limit. A pedestrian's chance of death if hit by a vehicle is 15 percent at 20 mph, 45% at 30 mph, and 85% at 40 mph.
Note: If drivers stop while the pedestrians cross the entire crosswalk, it draws the attention of other drivers and makes crossing safer for the pedestrians!
Thank you to all the Marshall area citizens for making the city safer and more enjoyable for everyone!

A secret global treaty, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement was leaked on the "total transparency" site Wikileaks. This treaty can have a huge affect on the way the Internet is used, and how people that download copyrighted material will get punished. Under the ACTA, Internet providers (I.S.P.s) in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Korea, and other signatory markets will be required to monitor their users activity online, or face huge lawsuits themselves. Any material that will be considered copyrighted will have to be removed as soon as found, even without proof of infringement of copyright. Even casual violators will be threatened with losing Internet access and facing criminal charges. The worst part is that service providers, customs agents, and law enforcement officials will have the power to search private accounts and personal devices such as laptops, MP3 players, and even cellphones all without the need of warrants or probable cause.
"It's almost like there's an institutional disrespect for copyright in Asia… People feel like, 'If I can't touch it, why should I have to pay for it?'" says Seung Bak, co founder of the video streaming startup DramaFever, which brings free, English-subtitled Asian television to U.S. audiences.
With Korea's extremely fast Internet connection, most of the companies who own copyrighted material actually try to work with the Internet companies and the people who "break" copyright laws. The way they see it is that if more people that use their content, even in some ways that seem to be wrong, (such as streaming them online for free or altering them for different story lines, sometimes pornographic) the more customers and the more sales that will occur. The mentality there is to try to help and work with the customers and see them as allies, even if it means blurring the lines of copyright infringement sometimes, instead of viewing them as potential pirates and criminals.
"They realize these unauthorized spin-offs help to build the fandom, and ultimately drive sales of the original", says Kai-Ming Cha, manga editor of Publishers Weekly.

VW user tip2: User Friendly Error Messages For Woodstock AutoValidation
By winston on Apr 26, 2008
One of the powerful features of Woodstock TextField components bundled with Netbeans Visual Web is, client side auto validation. However, it is kind of tricky, if you want to change the default messages it displays. David Heffelfinger sent me this neat tip on how to achieve this.
For other user tips, visit Netbeans Visualweb user tips and code snippets
A while back I was experimenting with Woodstock. One of the things I
liked about it was the "ajaxified" auto validation of text fields and
text areas. Unfortunately when I tried it out I was disappointed that
neither <h:message> nor <webuijsf:message> would "catch"
validation errors when auto validation "kicked in". Reading about it I
noticed that we can use an alert component to display validation
errors, via the "notify" attribute.
Unfortunately by default both the "Header" and the "body" of the alert display the same message, not exactly user friendly.
After some research I found a solution, we need to override the "detail" and "summary" error messages via a resource bundle.
I blogged about this at http://www.jroller.com/heffel/entry/user_friendly_error_messages_for

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
T. Graham Brown rose to country stardom through the uniquely Southern phenomenon of beach music, a party-ready mix of old-time rock & roll, R&B, country, and blues. Born in Arabi, GA (his real first name is Anthony), he got his start performing while attending the University of Georgia, as part of the beach-music duo Dirk & Tony. He then joined the outlaw country band Reo Diamond, and retooled his image as a hairy, tattooed wildman in a ten-gallon hat. Moving on in 1979, Brown formed his own R&B band, Rack of Spam, and officially settled on T. Graham Brown as his stage name. He moved to Nashville three years later, where with the help of Harlan Howard he found work singing demos and commercial jingles. In 1983, he signed with CBS as a staff songwriter, and went on to join the Tree International publishing firm in the same capacity. Meanwhile, he also landed a deal as a recording artist with Capitol, and released his debut album, I Tell It Like It Used to Be, in 1986. Partly recorded at Alabama's legendary Muscle Shoals studios, the record spawned a number one country single in "Hell or High Water," and both the title track and "I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again" went Top Ten. 1987's Brilliant Conversationalist gave Brown a second number one in "Don't Go to Strangers," and two more Top Tens with "She Couldn't Love Me Anymore" and the title cut. Meanwhile, he made appearances in the 1987 films Greased Lightning and Cursed, and the following year he and his backing group, the Hardtops, played Elvis' band in Heartbreak Hotel. 1988's Come as You Were continued Brown's success with the chart-topping "Darlene" and two further Top Tens in the title track and "The Last Resort." Unfortunately, Brown was also battling alcoholism, and his problems began to take their toll on his career. He managed one further Top Ten country hit in 1990's "If You Could Only See Me Now," and also dueted with Tanya Tucker on the hit "Don't Go Out" that year. But after his 1991 album, You Can't Take It With You, missed the charts, he found himself dropped by Capitol, and spent most of the '90s sorting himself out. He finally returned in 1998 with the acclaimed comeback effort Wine into Water, which reaffirmed his roots rock leanings and marked his most personal effort to date. The concert album T. Graham Brown Lives! appeared in 2001.

Although the 2013 MLB Rule 4 draft starts on June 6, there is little clarity as to how the Top 10 picks will unfold.
While there are countless scenarios involving roughly a handful of prospects for each team with an early pick, it will once again come down to who the Houston Astros select first overall.
Since publishing my initial rankings in mid-May, a majority of the prospects who appeared in the Top 100 have maintained their draft stock, while a few notable late risers have also found a spot the board.
As expected, there was considerable movement within both the Top 100 and individual position rankings over the last two weeks.
Here's a look at my final rankings for the 2013 draft.

Post subject: Someone asked so I will tell
I have sat back and tried to let things play out but now am tired of sitting. Someone asked me yesterday what I thought of the rules for this year so I will try to explain my position. While racing in the Sportsman class last year was very rewarding it was also very stressful. The reason for the stress is the rules that are in play for that class. You race and do good, and then you are worried about getting kicked out of that class for the rest of the year. You would lose your points and get booted up a class. Now I know that this was going to be at the boards discretion but the threat is still there for new racers that do not know whom the board is. Been their done that, not again . Then in the rules it says for entry level or for drivers not wishing to compete at the pro level. Through the year there were drivers that were by no means entry level drivers but were allowed to race in that class. Lets face it and call it what it was and is, a Medium class that anyone can run in. Just Call it a Medium class and drop the unenforced nonbinding rules at the end and race the two classes medium and heavy. I think that you would then have two classes with enough racers in each that would make for some great races. As far as racing a Heavy in with the so called entry level racer is that fair? Even though they are suppose to be close to the same no matter who wins you would always have it in the back of your head that he won because of a difference no matter what that difference was heavy, light, big pipe, small pipe. I do not think you are going to have very happy racers by the end of the season because you will always be changing the rules during the year to make one or the other happy. By having one Medium class and one Heavy class you get rid of the difference in the rules, the problem of running two different weights in the same class, two classes that anyone can run in as long as they can meet the weight. The so called cost savings in the sportsman class amounts to what about $45 for a header, cant even get into one race for that so that does not hold water either. Its time to stop being like the government and making up more rules and drop some of the ones that are not working and lets go racing.

I will respectfully disagree with some of your points. The sportsman class is a great entry level class. This class has brought in a lot of new, and old racers back, to karting. Some of those racers won't race at all, if put into a pro class. Some don't want to, and some shouldn't, be in the pro medium or pro heavy. There are a couple of guys that are ready to move up to medium or heavy. That being said, there were a couple of racers that should not have been allowed to race in that class last year. Personally, I like watching that class race.
If I am able to run any this season and the entries are there, I will run pro medium. It isn't any fun riding around with 2 or 3 people. That is the reason I moved to heavy those few races I ran last year.

To make it simple and try to clear things up about Pro and Sportsman class.
Clone Pro is 1 weight (375) and open clutch and all clone classes have 4 flywheel choices:
Flywheels: Stock cast flywheel not permitted. The following flywheels are the only approved flywheels: (1)
ARC Model 6619, (2)PVL, (3) Raceseng REV WHEEL - FINNED - S1, all at a minimum weight of 3 pounds
2 ounces.
The Speed Karts Steel Billet S1 flywheel is also approved at a minimum weight of 5 pounds, 3 ounces. No
machining or alterations of any kind are allowed. Ignition coil must be stock, but ignition timing is non tech.
The flywheel may be run with or without a key.
Clone Sportsman class we dropped the novice and just made it an entry level class and dropped the wording that the board can move you up to Pro.
We kept the weight at 360 and added the heavy wt. (400) to run open pipe which we hope will make up for added weight. We also decided to allow only drum shoe clutches.
This class is for those wishing to run medium and heavy without the added cost of have to purchase a disk clutch and also an entry level class that worked well last year. This class is no different from last year with the exception of the added heavy weight and removal of wording that you can be moved up.
I realize that no matter what we as the board decide we can not make everyone happy but we try.
Before our meeting to discuss and vote on rules I had a few to tell me that they wanted us to use WKA rules on clutch, tires and weight which is what we voted on for the Pro Class. Since the Sportsman class worked well last year we changed it very little.

text: Well known as one of Fjällräven's best-loved designs, the Kånken was originally produced for Swedish school children in 1978. Vinylon F fabric repels moisture better than any other, and convertible straps allow you to carry the Kånken as both a backpack and bag. And how can one resist the iconic Fjällräven name-and-address tag inside? This is a bag that will last you forever, and, let's be honest: It looks really cool.

David Akers (1975/88): The low mintage, second lowest in the series to the 1911-D, makes most people think this issue is even more rare than it really is. (Actually, the 1908 No Motto ranks sqarely in the middle with respect to both overall Mint State rarity and condition rarity.) This is not to say that the 1908 No Motto is common, because it most definitely is not. In fact, in any given Mint State grade it can be considered very rare. The Mint State population is quite evenly spread between the grades from MS-60/62 to MS-64 and there are probably about a third the number of gems as there are coins in each of the first three categories. A few (probably five or so) truly superb examples of this issue are also known to exist.
The 1908 No Motto is almost always sharply struck (more so than the 1907 No Periods) and the surfaces are somewhat frosty but more often rather satiny. The lustre is typically excellent and color is a strong point of this issue, usually medium orange gold, often with a rich greenish gold tint or highlights. Top quality examples of this issue are definitely among the most attractive of the series.

About the Author: Maria Otero serves as Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs. Under Secretary Otero has worked for the last year responding to the Secretary's call to elevate water issues in the U.S. foreign policy agenda and on the global stage.
Water is everywhere -- covering almost three-quarters of the earth's surface -- yet nearly one billion people in the world do not have safe water. Today, I had the opportunity to open a meeting on water issues co-organized by UNICEF, the United States, Tajikistan, and others at the Millennium Development Goals Summit. It was energizing to engage with such a dynamic group of leaders from the UN, government, NGOs, and civil society who were part of this event -- leaders like UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, USAID Administrator Raj Shah, and UNICEF's Executive Director Anthony Lake, to name just a few.
Through my travels across the world, from the Arctic Circle to the hills of Pakistan and the headwaters of the Nile, I have seen how water issues affect every part of society. From the woman who spends five hours a day walking to fetch water for dinner to the entire city that runs on hydropower, water can be a challenge but also a blessing, when harnessed effectively.
Bringing together a high-level group of leaders to focus attention on these critical issues is an important step, but we must do more. Over the coming months the Department of State and USAID will be looking closely at how we are working on water and sanitation with the goal of identifying concrete steps we can take to both focus and strengthen our efforts.
Last year, the United States invested about $774 million for all water sector and sanitation-related activities in developing countries, and as a result, some 5.7 million people received improved access to safe drinking water and 1.3 million received improved access to sanitation. We want to continue to build on these efforts and those of our partner countries, because quite simply, this is an issue we cannot afford to ignore.
Water scarcity, lack of access to clean drinking water, and inadequate sanitation increase disease, undermine economic growth, limit food production, and threaten peace and security. By investing in improved water and sanitation, maternal and child health significantly improves, children are better able to attend school, and women have greater economic opportunity.
We must make water and sanitation a global priority and work to ensure that disagreements over water do not escalate to violent conflicts. We must also ensure that these water and sanitation challenges do not undermine development. A key part of this is achieving water security.
Simply put, this means ensuring people have the water they need, where they need it, when they need it; while at the same time mitigating the impacts of water-related disasters to both people and infrastructure. I will continue to make this a top priority in my work in the months ahead.

I mean this with all respect but this blog only tells me that Undersecretary Otero travels the World and meets with interesting people. There are some general comments about water but unless I see something more substantive about how you plan to "elevate water issues in the U.S. foreign policy agenda and on the global stage" I won't be a regular to this site. I suggest more substance.

Baby Costs
And you thought the over-the-counter pregnancy test was expensive! According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, you can expect raising your baby to the age of 18 to cost between $125,000 and $250,000. The college years will cost another $20,000 to $150,000 - and you should plan to have at least forty percent of college tuition saved before your baby has that admission letter in hand.
But first things first. How much is your pregnancy costing? From pregnancy test through delivery, anywhere between $6,800 and $10,600. Your insurance company is picking up much of the tab, but as soon as your baby is born and named, they're your financial responsibility. Their first year will cost about $11,000. If you go back to work, childcare can cost as much as $3,000 to $4,500 in your baby's first year. Clothing and shoes may cost about $600. A stroller, changing table, crib, car seat, etc. cost considerably more: between $2,000 and $6,000. Even diapers add up to a major expense. By the time your baby is toilet trained, you'll have spent at least $1,600 on diapers. And the cost of caring for a baby doesn't diminish after toilet training. Between the ages of five and thirteen, your child's needs and desires for food, clothing, shoes, toys, music and movies, etc. to grow as steadily as the cost of supplying them. You can easily spend an average of $600 a year on extracurricular activities, which is nothing in comparison to the costs of a bigger car and/or house, which you may be buying to accomodate your growing family.
Are you panicking yet? Take comfort! Here are several things you can do to minimize the financial damage a bit:

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThis introduced plant is a biennial or short-lived perennial about 4-8' tall. The stout central stem is unbranched or sparingly branched; it is light green, terete, and more or less hairy. The blades of the alternate leaves are up to 8" long and across; they are palmately lobed (with 3-7 blunt lobes each) and crenate along their margins. Each leaf blade is orbicular or oval in outline and indented at the base where the petiole joins the blade. The upper surface of each leaf blade is medium green, slightly pubescent to hairless, and wrinkled from fine veins; the lower surface is light green and pubescent. The petioles of the leaves are as long or a little longer than their blades; they are light green and hairy. The central stem terminates in a spike-like raceme of flowers; axillary flowers are produced from the axils of the upper leaves as well. These flowers occur individually or in small clusters along the central stem; they nod sideways from short hairy pedicels. Each flower spans about 3-5" when it is fully open; it has 5 petals, 5 sepals, 6-9 sepal-like bracts, and a columnar structure in the center with the reproductive organs (stamens toward the tip, thread-like stigmas below). The overlapping petals provide the flower with a funnelform shape; they are usually some shade of white, pink, or purplish red. The sepals are light green, ovate, and much smaller than the petals. The bracts of each flower are located underneath the sepals; they are light green, hairy, ovate, and joined together at the base. The blooming period occurs from mid-summer into the fall; a colony of plants will bloom for about 2 months. Each flower is replaced by a fruit containing a ring of 15-20 seeds (technically, a schizocarp). These seeds are oval, flattened, and notched on one side. The root system consists of a taproot. This plant spreads by reseeding itself.

Topic: Polymorphic DB Model
I've been cracking my head on this for a bit, and I'm ready to plead for help.
I'm trying to create a Polymorphic model for Effect types in my card game.
class Card < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :effects, :through => :is_effect
class AddSubtractEffect < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :card
belongs_to :is_effect, :polymorphic => true
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is it possible to load up all the different effects that apply to a card using a polymorphic active record model?
Thanks in advance,
