Yesterday, Secretary Rice delivered a speech on U.S.-Russian relations to the German Marshall Fund in Washington, DC. In her remarks, Secretary Rice said:
"I have come here today to speak with you about a subject that's been on everyone's mind recently: Russia and U.S.-Russian relations.
Most of us are familiar with the events of the past month. The causes of the conflict -- particularly the dispute between Georgia and its breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia -- are complex. They go back to the fall of the Soviet Union. And the United States and our allies have tried many times to help the parties resolve the dispute diplomatically. Indeed, it was, in part, for just that reason that I traveled to Georgia just a month before the conflict, as did German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, among others.
The conflict in Georgia, thus, has deep roots. And clearly, all sides made mistakes and miscalculations. But several key facts are clear:
On August 7th, following repeated violations of the ceasefire in South Ossetia, including the shelling of Georgian villages, the Georgian government launched a major military operation into Tskhinvali and other areas of the separatist region. Regrettably, several Russian peacekeepers were killed in the fighting.
These events were troubling. But the situation deteriorated further when Russia's leaders violated Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity -- and launched a full scale invasion across an internationally-recognized border. Thousands of innocent civilians were displaced from their homes. Russia's leaders established a military occupation that stretched deep into Georgian territory. And they violated the ceasefire agreement that had been negotiated by French and EU President Sarkozy.
Other actions of Russia during this crisis have also been deeply disconcerting: its alarmist allegations of "genocide" by Georgian forces, its baseless statements about U.S. actions during the conflict, its attempt to dismember a sovereign country by recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia, its talk of having "privileged interests" in how it treats its independent neighbors, and its refusal to allow international monitors and NGOs into Abkhazia and South Ossetia, despite ongoing militia violence and retribution against innocent Georgians.
What is more disturbing about Russia's actions is that they fit into a worsening pattern of behavior over several years now.
I'm referring, among other things, to Russia's intimidation of its sovereign neighbors, its use of oil and gas as a political weapon, its unilateral suspension of the CFE Treaty, its threat to target peaceful nations with nuclear weapons, its arms sales to states and groups that threaten international security, and its persecution -- and worse -- of Russian journalists, and dissidents, and others.
The picture emerging from this pattern of behavior is that of a Russia increasingly authoritarian at home and aggressive abroad.
Now, this behavior did not go unnoticed or unchallenged over the last several years. We have tried to address it in the context of efforts to forge a constructive relationship with Russia. But the attack on Georgia has crystallized the course that Russia's leaders are now taking and it has brought us to a critical moment for Russia and the world. A critical moment -- but not a deterministic one.
Russia's leaders are making some unfortunate choices. But they can still make different ones. Russia's future is in Russia's hands. But its choices will be shaped, in part, by the actions of the United States, our friends, and our allies -- both in the incentives that we provide and the pressure that we apply."

I think everyone is making more of this than necessary to be honest.
It was predictable that Russia would have to establish its power at some point in time. All newly established regimes, political candidates, political parties; even new leaders, all do this at some juncture. Economic, Military and diplomatic pares, so to speak, are always made and directed to gain as much information as possible.
For them to make this move at some time when the US, who represents the largest Military and Economic democracy, was at this place in time was only natural. All democratic countries are economically struggling; the US is extended militarily..and so on. Perfect timing for them and our counters simply add to their knowledge base at this junction -- showing little or no preventative measures from our end, only defensive posturing.
I find it more than disconcerting that WE WERE NOT PREPAIRED in any aspect and that the Red Flags ignored. Makes you wonder who is really unstable in actuality. I would wonder how it happened, I would WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

Lloyd in New York writes:
Most of us are familiar with the events of the past several years. The causes of the conflict between the US and Russia -- particularly the constant, bellicose, public, non-constructive, criticism of Vladimir Putin, unilateral abrogation of treaties, arms deployment on Russia's borders, and failure to engage Russia an a partner in strategic decisions.
Putin has tried to strengthen Russia by opening the country to global financial markets, and stabilize the country in the only ways he understands -- dismantling democratic institutions and re-instituting authoritarian controls. These actions were entirely predictable as the US withdrew from constant involvement in the re-structuring of Russian economic and political institutions. The US still has a myriad of effective constructive counters to move Medvedev and Putin out of their authoritarian comfort zone and back toward democracy.
How can we help create an environment in which a Putin or Medvedev can feel that rules are in place that will promote the advancement of their country and protect them when they give up the reins of power? Constant engagement is required. Criticizing rulers that have dictatorial role models and fear of Western powers is useless unless you want to create an enemy, instead of a strategic partner.
The US has helped Putin fan the flames of Russian pride and patriotism by: playing the role of external threat, helping to drive up the price of oil above the $70 per barrel required for Russia to accumulate substantial revenue, and emboldening Russia's neighbors. The poorly played situation in Georgia is hardly worth mentioning.
Russia is trying to build a Command Economy with access to global financial markets, rather than a Capitalist Economy. Russia's economic development efforts provide all the connections needed to influence change in Russian government and society.
Unfortunately, Vladimir and Medvedev's actions with BP, and other companies began a wave of capital flight that was only accelerated by recent events, as investors finally realize the limits of ownership in Russia. If you review Putin's comments at the recent economic conference in Sochi, you will see that there is a real cultural gap -- he doesn't understand why investors are leaving.
The large and powerful criminal class in Russia has a pervasive influence over societal behavior and all significant financial activity. Putin adopts these behaviors and uses authoritarian rule to keep others under control. One hundred years of dictatorial rule have created civil problems that may take a generation to change sufficiently that Russian leaders can accept the limitations of a democratic government.
Kicking them while they are down, which is how I interpret Secretary Rice's comments, provide more of the polarizing commentary that authoritarian leaders can use to gain popular support. These tactics won't get the job done.
We need to constructively manage our mutual civil, economic and military connections to get the relationship moving in the right direction.

I have never found Russia's reasoning in this matter credible. It is as one puts on a mask.
The things nations do in the name of "peacekeeping"...
Hypotheticly speaking might include invading a soverign nation to prevent separatists in that nation from obtaining possesion of something left over from Soviet Cold War era WMD production, without informing that government that it was there, since they had no prior knowledge of its existance, and animosity and mistrust prevented such communication.
And if such was the case, the agressor would have to have one heck of a cover story.
But I'm looking at a story from Russia that doesn't fit reality. Maybe it fits their perceptions of reality, but it is a dysfunctional vision of what is, at best.
I just read the Russian President's rebuttle to Sec. Rice's remarks above, and that boy needs a serious education into what we're really all about. As does his "boss".
But posing and posturing is all really part of the dance around reality in the ground.
Same as it ever was. The human struggle for control.

Nationalism has arisen almost all over the world especially in Russia, China, Japan since the start of 21st century.
We already note that Russia's Communism be placed by Nationalism which shouldn't be ignorant of.
Amidst of its Nationalism, there is 'Putin' who is the [nominal second] governor now.
'Putin' has expressed openly or foldly that Russia should resume its prosperity comparable to USSR.
So, the first thing to prevent Russia's ambitions is to get 'Putin' off from his position.
But, that is a hard thing to be realized because Russia is not such as Iraq, Afghanistan.
Uncautious military action against Russia may raise crises on earth.
In conclusion, the best thing to frustrate Russia's aspirations is to isolate its economy with ties of nations around Russia, I think.

What is interesting in this show is the continued Admission that the Free Market System, without Governmental restrictions, DOES NOT WORK!
A direct reflection of what Putin corrected some time ago in Russia step by step and was in analysis in Russia Analysis some time ago: "Why the Free Market System did not work in Russia." Putin is apparently a much better economist than our representation.
We let the markets run chaotically, without any restrictions, to the point of endangering everything from Americans homes, pension funds and our ability trade effectively and use economic leverage globally. Just imagine what would have been done with the Social Secuity monies...gone...

3. Why all the biblical referencing, is it some masochistic desire for the end times or ignorance bliss for a Waldens Pond? Theoretically by finite account, there will never be peace -- only in the end. Is that what you want? There will never be a WHAT IF THEY STARTED A WAR AND NO BODY CAME! If you can do that, then you have a chance..and Hope is the currency of the poor and oppressed. Action is the currency of change is it not? Praying did not stop Hitler or Husain. In fact not one Religious church put its hand out to help the Hewbrews in WWII. Where was the Catholic Church then, they knew, we knew, England knew, France knew, Poland knew and so on...or was the delay to provide for Biblical referencing as truistic, a matter of fact to maintain some control over the mass. It is something to think about -- the continued misuse of Gods word for control.
The objective is to work toward democratic improvement within any given social environment as it exists first and take the necessary ACTIONS, not hopes.
Russia is an Empire, always was, always will be and more democratic now than ever. It is simply establishing the parameters of their new rule, not some Catholic Church letters of magic from a proposed apparition -- be realistic please and not make attempts to re create a false positive so we can control by Fear and make poor decisions premised on mysticisms. How many more people have to die or lives runied in the name of Religion not God.
Russia is Russia and bested us in every respect. Face it and move on not demean them.
This does not mean I am anti democratic; but, when you lose a game, you lose. We sound like poor losers nothing else. Get ready for the next game. It is not over -- never will be, thank God...a world without end.

Great points Joe. Although I think that the Russian invasion has nothing to do with religion or God, still your post analyzes clearly many other conflicts of the planet.
The "religion-God" factor is a vital "analysis filter" for the evaluation and interpretation of many wars and conflicts. Do you think that there is also a "religious axon" behind Russia's new "Foreign Policy"?
P.S. Folks in the Blog, have you read the 2008 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom. Very interesting!
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
The former US Secretary of State Colin Powell admits that the latest Caucasus war was started by Georgia.
He was speaking on the CNN together with another former State Department head, Henry Kissinger.
Mr Kissinger advised the administration to tone down criticism of Russia and focus on cooperation with it.
I suppose you think that they don't know what they are talking about and need to be re-educated by State Department bloggers, but they are saying what many other senior officials from former administrations have been saying for months. Listen to them.
Wim in the Netherlands writes:
I disagree with much of the speech:
"Russia was baiting them": since Georgia tried to take Abkhazia last april Russia has consistently followed apolicy of deterrence. When they had a military exercise last summer in the Caucasus they openly said that they were exercising to be able to fastly bring troops into South Ossetia. They would have kept this secret if they wanted to set a trap.
There is also the report of the OSCE observers that tells us (as general public we have to do with the interview in the Spiegel) that the Georgian action was well prepared (it must have taken months) and can certainly not be explained as a reaction to recent Osstian aggression. Also the casualty counts from the clashes before the war showed that both sides suffered about the same number of casualties, what suggests that Georgia had a more active role in these clashes than is often suggested.
Given Russia's policy of deterrence I don't think that their reaction in Georgia was disproportional. They had to do something that would make Georgia think twice before it tried again.
As for the recognition of the two regions: it looks like Russia is closely following the behaviour of the US regarding Kosovo. Just like me and many other people and countries they consider unilateral independence of Kosovo unjustified and unfair. By copying the American behaviour in great details (including asking for the departure of Saakashvili) they make a caricature of the US policy and doing so they stress their demand for the same rules for everyone.
Jonathan in Texas writes:
This is just a prime example of what this administration is all about. Georgia stirs up the pot and the United States backs the country that killed peacemakers because it is a democracy. Although Russia has not been in the right either in the past, I feel the US stance on this issue and their approach is horrible.
Why not take a middle stance on this with Russia and Georgia? Why single out Russia? Why even get involved? We have an economy that has been at its worst since the depression, we are spending trillions of dollars in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and we want to subliminally threat another country. Real smart.
Good for Colin Powell speaking up. Whatever happened to working with countries? We might not like the way they run their country but working with it would reduce tension, build good or decent relations and reduce the likely hood of war.
I disagree with all of this speech and I am counting down the days that a new administration takes over.

If you follow the opinion polls in Ukrain you will see that that is the last thing the Ukrainians are worried about. A huge majority is against NATO membership. On the Georgian war the population is about evenly divided between pro-Russians and pro-Georgians with most people neutral.
It is for me a riddle why Ms. Rice is so supportive of the Ukrains NATO bid. It is a pet project of president Yushchenko whose approval rating is in the single digits. Most Ukrainians are against it. I think we shouldn't pay too much attention to Yushchenko's stories about Russians threats. They are the swan song of a politician who has lost all contact with reality.

We must stand united in our support of the people of Georgia. The United Nations Charter sets forth the "equal rights of nations large and small." Russia's invasion of Georgia was a violation of those words. Young democracies around the world are watching to see how we respond to this test. The United States has worked with allies in multilateral institutions like the European Union and NATO to uphold Georgia's territorial integrity and provide humanitarian relief.

Wim, do you question our help in liberating your nation from the Nazi in WW2? Probably not I'd guess.
Seems to me the Russians have no appreciation for why we helped them. Thus no appreciation for our intent in supporting freedom in today's world.

Quote: The "religion-God" factor is a vital "analysis filter" for the evaluation and interpretation of many wars and conflicts. Do you think that there is also a "religious axon" behind Russia's new "Foreign Policy" --End Quote--
I believe Russia simply views Religion as a tool, no more, no less; as did Constantine long ago. Constantine was NOT some mighty Christian himself at any time, including his end; but, he did see where it could be used to enslave people without chains as the belief philosophy was no threat to his Empire. The fact it offered Hope to the oppressed was a relatively cheap fix when you think about it, plus it gave the people communal impute without threat to the State.
Religion can be viewed much like a medium sized company which can actually benefit from a Union. It loses much of the unprofitable mid level management cost involving personal as job description, conflicts, etc. The people believe they have a voice; but unfortunately today end up with another management cost that they incur, not the company. What has changed really? Even in the Union State, the people have lost much of their voice by deligation to misrepresentation.
There is an exception here in the US. We let Religion run amuck with blatant violations of Civil Laws and Common Laws on State and Federal levels as well Constitutional law. They even commit open Violations of Freedom FROM RELIGIOUS PROSCUTION, which was an interregnal part of our Bill of Rights. How did this happen? Did everyone forget Franklin was not the only one who took the Venus? The right to religious freedom is not in place when it violates any ones civil liberties in anyway. I should know, having personally experienced many aspects of Religions rights in America which circumvent Federal and State Laws as well as personal freedoms. It has become general knowledge world wide and is now a weakness, not strength due to the abusive nature resulting from the power delegated. Islam uses this as well as the Christian State does noting thier violations.
Religion in America, beyond communal social impute, very seldom has anything to do with GOD. This is a well established fact. Even Hoover recognized the Communists were using this format here in America back in the 50s. It Seems they are winning by default in the long haul. General Boykins proved this fact in the 70s and it was simply overlooked. So from the 50s to now, where does God actualy stand in America? In the Church? Which ones? So, what then is Religion would be the question and leave God out of it.
Again, yes, Religion is a vital impute factor for the understanding and manipulation of the hoi poi of any country or social structure -- after all, if the individual reflects his or her society, what is one of the first questions any Psychologist ask? What Religion are you? It is an identification tag showing the indoctrination methodology of the id and ego, followed with where were you brought up to show its relevance to the surroundings. Again an identification tag of where you in or out of the majority, etc...why would society be any different?
The world is a mess today not because of the Lack of Religion, but the misuse of it and the Lack of GOD in Decision Making...not Religion in decision making.
Fe fi fo fum...guess I'm just dumb...

Among others, you made me think Joe: U.S.A. is really blessed and inspired from the Bill of Rights. That's why both of us can discuss all these religion matters, enjoying personal freedom other people in the planet can not have.
Thank you very much for your reply.
I totally agree with you that we should leave God out of it. "Religions" is one thing, God is something else. After all, in God we trust!
However, another quite important parameter is that here -- in the States and the rest of the Western World -- we have the chance to discuss these issues (God, religion etc.) democratically without any danger. If we were in Iran, Syria, Sudan and so many other countries that are full of "religious chauvinism", both of us discussing these matters would now be dead, kidnapped, imprisoned or who knows what else. Due to the "Ayatolahs" as Eric wisely says.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
In short: Fab half marathon, the atmosphere, the crowds and well organised Date of review: September 21, 2012
In short: iconic - the very best half marathonDate of review: September 21, 2012
In short: its called great because it is!In full: This was my first gnr and it definately wont be my last.iv wanted to do this run for decades but was never fit enough and wasnt dissapointed.weather was ideal for running.plenty of powerade and water stations.lots of support all along the route that help when you gotta dig deep.lovely uplifting feeling running aling the tyne bridge.great to finish by the sea in south shields.red arrow display was incredible.good goody bag also.this is a special race and of my 26 races this is the only one iv gotta do again.loved itDate of review: September 21, 2012
In short: In danger of getting too big for its bootsIn full: I ran this for the first time this year. I really enjoyed it but the lack of organisation at the start was bad and as a race there's just too many people on sometimes narrow stretches of road to make this a proper race. Enjoyed the experience but I think 10000 fewer people would make this really great. Date of review: September 21, 2012
In short: 2012 ReviewIn full: Great race, my only complaint was people being in the wrong pen. I was in the B Zone and people were walking from the start!!Date of review: September 20, 2012
In short: Review for 2012: 'I'll be back'In full: This was my first Great north run and hopefully not my last.I thought the atmosphere was fantastic and I got a real boost from being amongst so many other runners,I've only ever done 2 halfs before and the number of runners was less than a tenth of this one's.As I'm from Peterborough which must be one of the flattest areas in the country I was worried about the hills but at the risk of bragging I hardly noticed the inclines at all and if anything I found it easier than the local Great eastern run,maybe I just had a good day.I do think this race could have been improved if there was a way of encouraging the slower runners to leave part of the race line open for those attempting to overtake as I often found myself having to dodge slower runners but to be fair to the organisers it was probably my fault for underestimating my finish time and therefore starting in a slower group.For those travelling by public transport be prepared for a long wait for the Metro back into Newcastle,me and my son had to wait well over an hour but even this wasn't so bad as the great atmosphere of this run even extended to the queuing afterwards.Overall: it was a Great day and I will certainly be back.Date of review: September 20, 2012
In short: Far too many people gave the wrong race timeIn full: This was the first time I had done the GNR and was looking forward to it. My previous PB was the Cambridge Half Marathon which was flat and much less crowded. The pens were very crowded and despite getting their early we had to wait to get into the pen. What I noticed within the first 3 miles was the large amount of people walking who had been in the pen in front of us, how they got into the faster pens I have no idea. The first mile was spent with a view of men peeing up either side of the road - not a pretty sight and obviously a sign there were not enough toilets. The route was good with some inclines and bands along the way. One annoying thing was the number of children squirting water on the runners whilst volunteers looked on, this is not what runners need on a rainy day and these children should have been stopped. I also think that the energy drinks should be provided in smaller bottles resulting in less wastage, it would also be nice if other runners did not just drop the bottle in the middle of the road or stop abruptly and walk in the middle of the road, a little bit of consideration for others wouldn't go amiss. Anyway, I managed a PB by 4 minutes which I was pleased with and the finish along the seafront was lovely. Dont think I would do it again as it is too expensive and took us about 90 minutes to get out of the traffic.Date of review: September 19, 2012
In short: Not a race for a best time but crowds brilliantIn full: 2012 - A good race for beginners, quite hilly and long parts on a camber. Excellent support but probably wont do again as too many people and at times the dodging between folk seemed endless....children on route superb giving jelly babies / yobs throwing powerade whilst hiding behind bushes disgraceful....keep reminding myself its a charity event and did not expect to better my time.....City games on saturday was must attend event fabulous....Date of review: September 19, 2012
In short: 2012 review as there is nowhere else to put itIn full: One to do and as a newish runner was glad to do it. I ended up in the pink zone as when I entered I had no idea how long it would take me therefore took 40 minutes after the gun to reach start line.I have run 6 races this year and as usual as someone who runs every step whatever the distance I get frustrated with those walking within the first km and blocking the way. I ran far more than 13.1 miles by weaving my way from begining to end. It is hilly but I had no problems as I was well trained. Just overall I was dissapointed as it did not feel as special as I had hoped, support was good appart from kids squirting water at runners which on a wet day I could have done withoutDate of review: September 19, 2012
In short: Too crowded but support FANTASTIC!!!!In full: 2012 review: Way too crowded to get any speed up and for me way too many walking the course! I know its a big charity event but its also meant to be a run. The support is fantastic though with homemade biscuits,chocolates,pizza,fruit and sweets being handed out and everybody wanting to high five you. I must say though that anyone who trains on any mild undulating hills wont find this course challenging at all, the hills really aren't bad at all in my opinion and i dont train on mountains! All in all not a race to enjoy if u want a time but if u want a great atmosphere there's nothing better. I wouldnt do it again simply for the fact that the travelling is a pain and if you choose to stay over it van become quite an expensive weekend. thankyou for the memories Newcastle and South shieldsDate of review: September 18, 2012

Disappointed. Was hoping for a really good gluten free experience. Lemon flavor too strong and tastes artificial. Leaves aftertaste. Cookies too high in fat for me. Husband found them acceptable.

- The "Butterbeer" we see the students drinking in this film is actually a well known British fruit drink called J20, with fake foam added on top. However, an official "ButterBeer" is in the making for a planned Harry Potter theme park.
- The foam in Ron's mouth in one scene is made of egg white.
- Dan admitted he never tries to go for "real tears" in any such scenes, by advice he got from actor Kenneth Branagh. Instead he relies on acting and "tricks of the trade" to get the desired effect across.
- The strange "fluid" in Dumbledore's Pensive is entirely done with CG.
- That highly torturous fluid in the cave that Dumbledore drinks, this was really just some milk thinned down with water and then visually "tweaked" by the CG department.
- Barron commented that the film's director and the composer tried "for months" to create a specific "Phoenix song" score which they felt would do its book description justice, for the scene where this bird leaves Hogwarts. Several different things were composed and tested, before they pretty much gave up trying and settled on this very basic score we now hear at the end of the film.

In the words of Margaret Truman, " . . . the women who occupy the White House and their husbands are a varied, interesting, often enigmatic group. Amid constant comment and the relentless glare of the media and public, the first lady's role has been interpreted colorfully and widely throughout history."
The Cultural Arts Forum (CAF) continues its 2012-2013 season with First Ladies of the United States presented by Barbara Falini on Thursday, November 8, at 1:30p.m. Join the CAF and discover what part these women played in the formation of the United States government, influencing political decisions, and in the formation of social and cultural ideas.
A graduate of West Chester and Villanova Universities, Falini taught economics and government in the West Chester Area School District for 42 years. She now teaches in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute sponsored by Widener University.
For 37 years, the Cultural Arts Forum has been sponsoring events to support adult women students at Neumann University through the endowed scholarship named in honor of the founder of the Forum, Margaret Mary Kearney. Proceeds of these events support this scholarship fund. Since its founding in 1970, the Forum has presented more than 240 events and seminars.
The presentation will take place in the Meagher Theatre, located in Neumann's Thomas A. Bruder, Jr. Life Center. Tickets are $7 for general admission. Admission is free for Neumann students/staff and Cultural Arts Forum Members. Please contact Neumann's Office of Cultural Programming by calling 610-558-5626 for more information.

Sarah Wilson Ensemble Blow-Out Concert 2012
Featuring new, innovative, beautiful music written for Wilson's 2011–2012 Artist Fellowship at de Young Museum, along with earlier compositions commissioned by the de Young and Intersection for the Arts. The concert includes selections from her Artist Fellows project Off the Walls; come hear the music that people raved about after seeing this music and aerial dance spectacle in September. This spectacular concert is not to be missed!
Sarah Wilson, trumpet/vocals
Cory Wright, clarinet/tenor sax
Rob Ewing, trombone
John Schott, guitar
John Shifflett, bass
Jordan Glenn, drums
Sarah Wilson has emerged as "one of the most intriguing and promising composers and trumpeters on the contemporary music scene." (Derk Richardson, San Francisco Chronicle) Her music has premiered nationally and internationally and she earned wide critical acclaim for her 2010 Brass Tonic Records release, Trapeze Project. This CD features Sarah on trumpet and vocals with clarinetist Ben Goldberg, pianist Myra Melford, bassist Jerome Harris, and drummer Scott Amendola and showcases her "danceable, visually evocative, and melodic music that is both sophisticated and accessible" (Jazziz).
Wilson writes music "evocative, elegant, and comfortably familiar all at once" (Time Out NY), which has stylistically evolved through a diverse experience with jazz, theater, film, animation, performance art, and traditional music studies.

Ultimate Fitness Swim Spa
About this itemOffering optimum performance, this luxurious swim fitness spa is rated as a best of class, 5-star spa.
This fitness swim spa is the perfect addition to any home. There are 38 adjustable and
interchangeable stainless steel jets to maximize your therapeutic experience and 3
independently operable, variable flow river swim jets controlled and operated by their own swim
pump system. The swim pump system is powered by 3 ultra-swim jet pumps. The seating area has
one high-flow, two-speed jet pump. You can increase or decrease the water flow to any
particular jet for a more personalized massage experience. Also included is a smaller, 24-hour
circulation pump to constantly move water through the filters for continuous cleaning, reducing
your chemical and electrical costs.
This spa has a Dream Collar (reverse neck jet) seat with a contouring pillow specifically designed for neck and shoulder massage therapy and a leg jet full-body seat for a total hydrotherapy experience. (We also offer this swim spa in a 33-jet model with a one lounger and seat configuration, contact for details and pick either spa.) An exercise system containing a swim bar, tensions bands, and a rowing tension set comes with your purchase. Also included are 4 water fountains and multi-colored LED accent lights to add even more ambiance. Work out to your favorite tunes with FM Stereo and iPod stereo system, transducers speakers on all sides and a subwoofer--also all included.
The spa is handmade to your individual specifications. We only use Lucite crosslink acrylic with Microban. Microban is an anti-bacterial compound incorporated into the shell of the spa preventing bacteria growth. This allows for a non-slip, non-corrosive surface that actually aides in the cleanliness of the spa. This coupled with our Q-Zone ozonator, a system that oxidizes the water, killing bacteria. Chemical maintenance is drastically reduced, saving you time and money. All of our spas are fully enclosed and fully insulated with closed cell polyurethane foam to guarantee the best heating results possible.
The spa acrylic is available in sierra or platinum white (white with a silver accent) color. The synthetic maintenance free side paneling is available in either a charcoal gray or Capistrano (mahogany) color. Two locking virgin foam covers matching the side paneling and 2 slide-under cover lifters come standard with purchase. Also included is a complete three-month, all-natural chemical kit and hose filter attachment. The filter allows for the best possible water when filling the spa and the kit maintains chemical levels without the harsh abrasive use of chlorine.
Once you have placed your order and Sam's club has processed it, a spa representative will call you to go over the power requirements, shipping and color options. You will also receive a welcome letter, a check list to help insure you are ready for a spa and color options via email. Question on this can also be answered via email or the toll free number listed here.
We use only top-of-the-line products to achieve optimum performance. Let our 30-plus years of building spas work for you!

Taste of Autumn
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, October 27, the Rotary Clubs of Orangeville are holding their 12th annual fundraiser, A Taste of Autumn. This event takes place at the Hockley Valley Resort and features a terrific six course dinner prepared by chefs from some of the finest restaurants in Dufferin—Caledon.
These restaurants include the Hockley Valley Resort, White Truffle Inn, Mono Cliffs Inn, Greystones Inn, Millcroft Inn and the Train Station. A silent auction will be held throughout the evening and a live auction will take place around 9 p.m.
These auctions have helped raise over $1.25 million in support of local community projects and international charitable programs. Many organizations in Orangeville, Shelburne and Caledon have benefited from A Taste of Autumn.
For a sensational evening in Dufferin—Caledon, this October 27 the place to be is A Taste of Autumn.
Jannick Lecavalier-Rodrigue
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is with pride that I draw attention today to the merit of a young 15-year-old student from my riding, Jannick Lecavalier-Rodrigue. Jannick is a brilliant and exemplary student who is working hard to succeed in school and to develop all his skills.
He was selected as the only Canadian participant at the 2006 Pacific Rim International Camp that took place in Japan August last. Each of the 11 countries at the camp is represented by a single teenager and Jannick was selected as the representative from Canada.
The purpose of the Pacific Rim International Camp is to promote cultural appreciation and international friendship through mutual understanding, allowing the young participants to experience both traditional and modern Japan.
My congratulations go to Jannick Lecavalier-Rodrigue, whom I commend for preparing himself to become a young Canadian citizen open to the world and able to spread, at home and abroad, the human and social values unique to the citizens of this country.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada recently published its report on population growth in the various regions of Canada between 2004 and 2005. This report shows that Mirabel saw the strongest population growth in Canada over that timeframe. The city-RCM of Mirabel had a net migration rate of 37.1 per 1,000 population. By comparison, Calgary's net migration rate is 21.1 per 1,000 population, and Alberta is experiencing an economic boom.
According to a 2003 study by the Institut de la statistique du Québec, there is every indication that Mirabel's population will have grown by 43% by 2026; that is the highest rate of growth in Quebec.
I would like to congratulate the City of Mirabel for the outstanding job it is doing promoting its jurisdiction. Mirabel is a model as a region that took charge and turned things around following the tragedy of expropriation for the purpose of constructing an airport and the shock of its closure. Mirabel has become a symbol of success for Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel and Quebec as a whole, and I am very proud of that.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Catherine Bell Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is the anniversary of the day that women became persons in this country.
Today, women across Canada are holding vigils and celebrations, including tea with the Famous Five, to mark this historic occasion and I celebrate with them.
However, only nine months after committing to take concrete and immediate action to increase women's equality in this country, the Conservative government slashed the budget of the Status of Women, removed any reference to the word "equality" from its mandate and disallowed advocacy on the part of groups who receive federal funds through the department.
This giant leap backward effectively silences the voices of the most vulnerable women in our society.
Today, the Governor General is honouring women for their great work in the struggle for women's equality but, ironically, one of these groups receiving the award has had its funding gutted by the government.
One can only conclude that the attitude of the government is "You've come far enough baby".
Firearms Storage
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, year after year, the Liberals keep proposing one costly, ineffective gun control measure after the next leaving real public safety for the Conservatives to deal with.
Last week, one of the Liberal MPs from Toronto proposed that hundreds of thousands of legally owned and safely stored firearms should all be moved to a central storage facility. It was a silly idea in 1991 when the leader of the NDP first proposed it and it is still a foolish idea today.
The Liberals must be campaigning for the criminal vote because criminals are the only people who would benefit from having all the lawful guns stored in one place.
We should ask ourselves one question. Would criminals rather break into houses at random hoping there was a gun in there that they could steal from a gun safe, or would criminals rather just sit around the city's firearms storage building and wait for law-abiding gun owners to get into their cars with their firearms?
I guess the Liberals really are in favour of one stop shopping. Talk about making shopping for guns more convenient for criminals.
Government Programs
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, in less than 10 days, over 3,400 people have added their voiceS to the Canadian wave of protest in light of unacceptable Conservative cuts. These cuts will have a direct impact on all Canadians: minority groups, women, aboriginals. Everyone is affected.
Among those condemning these harsh cuts, over 20 New Brunswick groups have united to demand that the court challenges program, literacy measures and status of women measures, as well as other programs, be reinstated.
Today I join with over 3,400 citizens in New Brunswick who have asked the Conservative minority government to come to its senses and reconsider the cuts to these essential services.
We say no to these cuts.
Persons Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, earlier today I had the honour of attending the 2006 Governor General Awards with the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women.
We were all inspired by the courageous Famous Five who challenged the existing status of women by creating legal history in women's rights by contesting the notion that legal definitions of persons excluded females.
We continue to honour the Famous Five today through the Governor General's Awards in commemoration of the Persons Case.
This year's award recipients are strong, dynamic and diverse women. They include: Joyce Hancock, Maureen Kempston Darkes, Doreen McKenzie-Sanders, Jan Reimer, Charlotte Thibault and Semma Shah.
I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations again to each of the winners and thank them for being Canadian leaders.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Statements By Members
October 18th, 2006 / 2:05 p.m.
Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. In 2006, 22,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. That is an increase of nearly 400 cases compared to 2005. Of those 22,000 women, 5,300 will die of the disease.
As a former victim of breast cancer, I know how devastating it can be, how it makes its victims feel powerless and discouraged, and how painful it is for the victims, their families and their friends.
Correcting the fiscal imbalance is critical to ensuring the provinces have more money to prevent, diagnose and treat breast cancer.
The federal government must also invest more money in research and refuse to issue licences for silicone gel breast implants, which can contribute to causing cancer.
I invite my colleagues to support this cause and the thousands of women who have breast cancer.
International Trade
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Helena Guergis Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Liberal members of the international trade committee demanded the release of the government's negotiating positions for the Central America Four free trade negotiations. The Liberals have irresponsibly flip-flopped on their long held position.
When in power, the Liberal government never revealed its negotiating stance. Now the Liberals want Canada to completely compromise its negotiating position by revealing it partway through trade talks.
Based on the actions of the Liberal members, it is obvious that they are not interested in Canada's government getting the best for all Canadians.
I hope the Liberal leadership candidates do not share their colleagues' total disregard for Canada's economic future.
In order to prosper in the global economy of the 21st century, we need to build and strengthen our trade relationships. This requires aggressive pursuit of new trade agreements. We can ill afford to toss away our ability to negotiate effectively.
Unlike the members opposite, the Conservative government puts the prosperity of Canadians first.
Government Programs
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, we continue to learn of more programs that have lost their funding due to the meanspirited cuts by the heartless Conservative government.
Sadly, the Prime Minister has cut funding that was used by labour unions to operate apprenticeship programs that helped youth at risk learn construction trades. These programs were model examples of a hand up, not a handout.
Developing skills for youth and aboriginals at risk both helps fill Canada's desperate need for skilled workers and provides these young people with abilities that they can use throughout their working careers. Canada needs more skilled workers, not less, to build our great country.
The Conservatives inherited from the Liberals the strongest economy and the best fiscal situation that any newly elected government in the history of Canada has ever received.
It is unconscionable that the ruthless minority Conservative government, despite being in such a strong fiscal position, continues to cut programs that were providing concrete help to Canadians.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to recognize the importance of co-operatives in Canada's social and economic fabric. October 15 to 21 is Co-op Week.
Co-operatives are businesses owned and created by their members, individuals who want to join forces to meet their common needs. Canada has over 9,000 co-operatives run by some 70,000 volunteers and 150,000 employees.
The new Government of Canada has decided to make a one time investment of $1 million within the framework of the Co-operative Development Initiative to help individuals, groups and communities form co-operatives in order to seize opportunities that come up in the biofuel sector and other value added industry sectors.
The biofuel industry has the potential to stimulate rural economies by creating jobs and by stimulating economic development. It goes without saying that the co-operative model is the tool of choice to achieve this potential.
The new Government of Canada is pleased with its partnership with the co-operative sector and hopes it will continue to benefit all Canadians.
Toronto Port Authority
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Olivia Chow Trinity—Spadina, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities has received the Roger Tassé review of the Toronto Port Authority's shady dealings, yet he has chosen not to release the report or take any action.
The port authority once again demonstrated its incompetence. Its new ferry to the island airport crashed on its very first run, but the minister has not even suspended operations and has given the green light for flights at the island airport next Monday. The lobbyists must have got to the Conservatives.
The ferry crash was a total farce, but could have easily been a tragedy. We can afford neither farce nor tragedy with airplanes in the heart of Toronto. Public safety is at stake. We need an international air safety audit, and to return the port authority back to the hands of Torontonians now so we can have a clean green waterfront.
Canada's Citizenship Week
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity during Canada's Citizenship Week to welcome and congratulate all new Canadians.
Canada's Citizenship Week is a national annual celebration to recognize the value of citizenship and the privileges, rights and responsibilities that go with it.
My thoughts go out to the new citizens in the riding of Laval—Les Îles.
Every year, roughly 150,000 people acquire Canadian citizenship.
Every year new Canadians affirm their commitment and dedication to Canada's laws, our democratic process, rights and freedoms. Economically, socially and culturally, new Canadians are playing an important role in building a better Canada.
As the official opposition critic for citizenship and immigration, I am calling on the current government never to make a distinction between natural-born citizens and naturalized citizens.
Wilbert Coffin
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Raynald Blais Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC
Mr. Speaker, 50 years have passed since Mr. Wilbert Coffin was hanged, convicted of the murders of three American hunters in Gaspésie. Mr. Coffin's family has maintained his innocence since that time, pointing out that the Crown never produced any direct evidence during the trial and that political interference was a factor.
After many years of waiting, the federal justice minister has finally examined the Coffin family's legitimate request to re-open the file.
Mary Coffin-Stewart—Wilbert Coffin's sister—, Jim Coffin—Wilbert Coffin's son—and many other family members are here in Ottawa today. I would like to assure them that they are not alone in their quest for justice. They are very honourable and courageous for taking on this important challenge.
The Bloc Québécois is proud and honoured to support the Coffin family in its request for a judicial review concerning Wilbert Coffin.

Restoration: Artist's major 'project' in city
Internationally known artist Peter Wolf Toth's arrival here to restore the Whispering Giant statue is not just a Dunkirk happening, it is a Chautauqua County and Western New York event.
With that said, it was good to see a number of county leaders in attendance at the welcoming ceremony for the artist last week. Those leaders included: Dunkirk Mayor Anthony J. Dolce, Fredonia Mayor Stephen Keefe, County Executive Vince Horrigan, County Legislator Janet Keefe and Dunkirk Councilman William Rivera. Even Todd Tranum, Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce executive director, offered Toth an honorary membership.
Also in attendance, and just as important, were members of the Dunkirk Citizens Advisory Committee, specifically Donna Keith, chairwoman, and Danny McGill. Gina Kron, who contacted Toth about coming to Dunkirk, said the city committee was responsible for bringing attention to the deteriorating condition of the famous statue that formerly stood on Route 5.
"This isn't just a Dunkirk project, this isn't even just a New York project; this is part of a national project, an international project, and it's one man's life mission," Kron said at the welcoming ceremony for Toth at the Clarion Hotel's Dockside Cafe.
Donation boxes and raffle tickets are available at various outlets in the local area to help pay for the artist's expenses to arrive in Dunkirk and his materials. Toth, whose work tent is set up between the Dunkirk Tim Hortons and the Clarion, is likely to be here through the month.
If you could not make it to last week's ceremony, the community is welcome to visit him there.

Consumers keeping up with their debts, report finds
The Columbus Dispatch - April 09, 2014 11:27 AM
We're doing a better job of managing our debts.
The American Bankers Association says delinquencies for installment and home-related loans fell in the fourth quarter. In fact, a ratio that the association uses to track delinquencies across eight types of loans hit a record low in the quarter.
Bank-card delinquencies did rise during the period, but still remain well below the 15-year average. It also comes on the heels of an ABA report that found consumers are using credit cards more as a transactional tool to pay for goods and services than a form of debt.
The ABA credits an improving economy and a better housing market for driving the gains, but notes that many consumers still are struggling to meet daily expenses.

A glimpse of old Newton
"Here is a photo of George Beswick, who was a green grocer. He had a horse and cart and a loud call telling half a street away of his imminent arrival. His place was on Old Road, Newton and the picture of him, standing, with who I know not, was taken on the corner of Old Rd/Lodge Lane/Park Road...the shop took [my] ration coupons for toffees!."
George Beswick circa 1952
As it looks today.2012
It's so sad how many of these old shops have now been turned into houses.
Thanks, as always, Tony ! :)

Excellent pictures .. I never realised a shop had been there, I bet it did well with all the housing around there and passing trade from the mill...

I can remember the shop quite clearly. There was also a butchers shop slightly further up on Old Road.
- Wednesday, 04 April, 2012
I remember this shop I think it was known as Egertons, when I was younger anyway, not sure if the spelling of that is right.
Then further up Old road there was another shop on the corner of a cut through to Lodge Lane, same row as John Holmes butchers shop. Just up from the White Hart pub there was a Greengrocers shop, funnily enough run by Mrs Beswick.
- Saturday, 07 April, 2012
Just remembered, the shop on the corner of the cut through to Lodge Lane was run by a Mr Ward (think his first name was Sid)
