Violence against Women
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, the United Nations General Assembly has declared this day as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, dramatized most recently by the violence in Nigeria. This day also marks the beginning in Canada of a 16 day period of activism against gender violence.
In the words of the General Assembly resolution, "violence against women is an obstacle to the achievement of equality, development and peace".
Women around the world continue to be victimized by gender violence, particularly sexual violence against women in armed conflict and violence against refugee and vulnerable women.
In Canada 50% of women by age 16 have been the victim of at least one incident of physical or sexual violence, yet gender violence remains among the most unseen and unpunished of all the violations of universal human rights.
We should strengthen our call to eradicate gender violence and protect its victims; reaffirm our commitment to the empowerment of women throughout the world; re-examine the power relations in our communities so that we may eliminate all forms of gender subordination and discrimination; and make it clear that women's rights are human rights, and human rights mean nothing if they do not also include the rights of women.
University of New Brunswick
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Andy Scott Fredericton, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the new president of the University of New Brunswick, Dr. John McLaughlin, for his current campaign to increase access to post-secondary education in New Brunswick, to advance UNB's profile as a research and teaching institution, and to improve the economic and cultural development of our province generally.
The future economy of Atlantic Canada will be determined by investment in post-secondary education and research and development. It is essential that parliamentarians, educators, students and community leaders work together to ensure that our region benefits from this kind of investment on par with the rest of Canada.
The last federal budget included a $200 million one time indirect costs and research investment. It is imperative that this investment is made permanent and that the emphasis on capacity building in small and medium sized universities be maintained.
These kinds of investments are absolutely critical, not only to our universities but to our entire region. I salute Dr. McLaughlin for the energy that he is bringing to this vital issue.
Violence Against Women
Statements by Members

Canadian Alliance
Betty Hinton Kamloops, Thompson And Highland Valleys, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is the international day to end violence against women. With origins dating back to the 1960s, this day is a call for national governments to take action to eliminate gender based violence.
Women around the world continue to face abuses on a daily basis. Every 15 seconds in America a woman is battered. Every 23 seconds in South Africa a woman is raped. In Iran and Nigeria, women are routinely stoned to death for things as innocent as attendance at a birthday party. In Bangladesh, 47% of women have been physically abused in their lifetimes. Between 114 million and 130 million women worldwide, some as young as two years old, have had their genitals mutilated for cultural reasons.
Lofty statements and ideals are not enough. The apathy shown by the government to such violations of human rights is nothing short of criminal. Canada needs to show some leadership and stop hiding behind political correctness.
Royal Canadian Legion
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
David Pratt Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to offer my congratulations to The Royal Canadian Legion which was founded on this day in 1925.
Canada's veterans share a bond unlike any other, a bond of comradeship which was forged through their time of the battlefields of two world wars, the Korean war, the Gulf war and numerous peacekeeping operations.
This bond has been strengthened over the years by the work of the Royal Canadian Legion. One cannot help but be impressed and inspired by the countless acts of charity and community work that the legion performs in communities right across the country every day.
The members of The Royal Canadian Legion are supporting their country today just as they did during the darkest days of war. We salute the Royal Canadian Legion and its long record of national service.
The Grey Cup
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Benoît Sauvageau Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to add the warmest of congratulations from the Bloc Quebecois to the thousands of Montreal Alouette fans. They may have had to wait 25 years to do it, but the Alouettes are finally taking Lord Earl Grey's cup back to Montreal.
This great victory leaves a bad taste in the mouths of French-speaking fans, however. How could we not comment on the fact that thousands of Quebeckers and French Canadians could not follow the exploits of the Alouettes in French unless they had cable? What excuse can there be for such a major sporting event, one of the major sponsors of which was the Government of Canada, not being able to attract the attention of those in charge of Radio-Canada? After the threatened demise of La Soirée du hockey , Radio-Canada has done it again and, in league with the CFL, has once again penalized francophone sports fans. This is one time too many.
Violence against Women
Statements by Members

Yolande Thibeault Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, violence against women is unacceptable. Today, November 25, has been declared the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The great need for such a day must be acknowledged. Throughout the world, women's rights are still being trampled upon.
This is a good opportunity to draw attention to the great efforts expended every day by those concerned with fostering an equitable society, who have set up shelters and transition homes for battered women. Because of these efforts, thousands of women can finally live without fear.
Let us never lose sight of the fact that women everywhere in the world are victims of violence, day in and day out. I can only hope that one day we will be able to celebrate a victory over this deplorable situation.
Bonnie and Bob Dagenais
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Scott Reid Lanark—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to draw attention to the tragic death of two teachers killed this weekend in a horrific and callous act of violence.
As they sought to protect their property from unlawful invasion in the early hours of Saturday morning, Bonnie and Bob Dagenais were brutally shot and killed by a convicted criminal and his 15 year old accomplice.
Unarmed and defenceless, the couple were innocent victims of a terrible crime which sought to rob them of their property and ended by robbing them of their lives.
Bob Dagenais, a retired school principal, and his wife Bonnie, a former grade three teacher, both retired last spring. In their many years as educators in the Ottawa-Carleton district the couple touched and inspired many individuals and unfailingly won the respect and admiration both of pupils and of colleagues.
The community in which they lived and worked today mourns their loss unable to comprehend the magnitude and the senselessness of their deaths.
I believe my hon. colleagues will join me in offering my sincere condolences to their family and friends following this tragic loss.
The Grey Cup
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Serge Marcil Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am very happy and proud to rise today to pay tribute in the House to the exciting show we were given last night, during the Grey Cup match in Edmonton.
In a dramatic ending in the final quarter, the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Edmonton Eskimos 25 to 16, to win the Canadian football championship. The Grey Cup returns to Montreal for the first time in 25 years.
I would like to congratulate all of the Alouette players for their hard work and determination and we would also like to thank the Eskimos for the thrilling final game that they provided. Kudos to Pat Woodcock in particular, of the Alouettes—born in Kanata, Ontario—for having caught a 99-yard pass, thereby breaking the record for the longest pass in the history of the cup and leading his team to victory.
The Alouettes will be landing at Dorval this afternoon, and a parade in the streets of Montreal has been planned for Wednesday. Let us give them the welcome they truly deserve.
Child Poverty
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, child poverty continues to be a national disgrace in Canada. Numbers released today by Campaign 2000 confirm that 10 years after the House of Commons unanimously passed the NDP resolution to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000, Canada still has over a million children living in poverty, and for many the situation is worse. The depth of poverty for two parent families now averages $10,000 below the poverty line.
The rate of child poverty may be decreasing slowly but after the many years of prosperity we still have a situation in Canada where one in six children is more likely to see the inside of a food bank than share in that prosperity.
Canada cannot solve this problem by limiting its own revenue through further tax cuts, nor can it continue to pretend that cutting programs like EI and affordable housing will help to solve the problem of poor children in our communities.
What Canada and Canada's kids need is a real commitment to expand the child tax benefit, bring in a national affordable housing strategy and implement a national strategy of early childhood education and care.
Violence Against Women
Statements by Members
November 25th, 2002 / 2:10 p.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, on this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I would like to highlight the efforts of advocacy and feminist groups whose mission is to fight the effects of violence against women and children.
The threats, abuse, human rights violations, violence, intimidation, harassment and discrimination suffered by millions of women around the world is unacceptable, and we must not tolerate it.
As a member of Parliament, and on behalf of all the members of the Bloc Quebecois, I thank all those who have contributed on whatever scale to fighting the devastating effects of violence.
I would also like to make my colleagues in the House aware of the importance of doing all we can to fight this phenomenon. Therefore, I would invite the federal government to provide funding for the struggle to eliminate violence against women.
Mayors Caucus
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and welcome the 22 mayors from Canada's largest cities who are in Ottawa today for two days of discussions.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities' big city mayors caucus are meeting with cabinet ministers and finance officials for prebudget discussions.
These 22 mayors represent all regions of Canada with different priorities and differing issues. What they have in common is important to our urban regions: infrastructure, transit, transportation and housing needs.
We must continue to invest in our urban regions so that they can be sustainable, prosperous and competitive for the 21st century. Let us all work together to ensure their success.
North American Free Trade Agreement
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Rick Borotsik Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, the government has been burying its head in the sand for far too long. It has been very slow to react to almost every trade issue.
There is another dark cloud hanging over the Canada-U.S. trade issues. The decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission to continue its investigations into alleged dumping by the Canadian Wheat Board is the most recent in a long line of Canadian products to come under attack by American producers, who are more interested in playing politics than adhering to the North American Freed Trade Agreement.
The impact of this decision could have immediate consequences for Canada's grain farmers. If interim tariffs are imposed on U.S. imports of Canadian wheat and durum by next March, they could be as high as 34%.
The government was aware that the devastating tariffs would be placed on Canadian lumber and it waited until it was way too late. It sat idly by and watched as P.E.I. potatoes were unfairly banned by the U.S.
The government should pull its head out of the sand and start dealing with these trade issues of Canadian wheat now before it becomes a very serious problem. The government must toss out its wait and see approach to serious trade issues. The government needs to deal with the problem now before its too late.
Violence Against Women
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, today is the international day for the elimination of violence against women and the first of the sixteen days of activism against gender violence.
I ask all Canadians and all members of the House to join me during these days in the fight to raise awareness about violence against women.
In the next few days, we will commemorate with sadness the anniversary of the tragedy at École polytechnique de Montréal. There will also be World AIDS Day and International Human Rights Day.
Today, let us start by remembering the three Mirabel sisters from the Dominican Republic, who were political dissenters and were brutally assassinated by dictator Trujillo on this day in 1961. Lest we forget.
Kyoto Protocol
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, on March 26 the Prime Minister wrote to the hon. Perrin Beatty, of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, assuring him, as he did many others, that Kyoto would proceed only under the following conditions: a workable plan; progress internationally on clean energy exports; progress domestically on consultation with the provinces, stakeholders and other Canadians; and no artificial deadline.
My question is simple. Since none of the Prime Minister's conditions for ratification have been met, other than his sad hunt for a legacy, why are we now pursuing Kyoto ratification on an end of the year deadline?
Kyoto Protocol
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
David Anderson Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister, in June of last year, made it clear that 2002 was the year he expected to have a decision on ratification.
More recently, at a meeting in Johannesburg some two months ago, he indicated he would put a resolution before the House so that the opinion of members of the House of Commons and the Senate could be canvassed prior to ratification.
As far as I know these two indications of time which he gave back in June and September are still entirely valid and I do not see this as any undue rush at all.

Fairytale Asylum is a collaboration that has been waiting to happen since artists Stephen Chan and Andriana Katsiki (AKA Wundercloud) met in 2007. They instantly loved each other's work and soon realised that they share a lot of the same inspirations, even though their styles are quite different.
See also: 83 Best Photoshop tutorials
Eventually they decided to properly join forces and start experimenting by combining their styles into something new and unique. Both love working with characters, especially ones that have some weird or twisted aspects to their personalities, and that became one of the main themes in their collaborations.
"When creating a new piece, we give the freedom to each other to express themselves how they like," says Andriana. "The harmony of a finished piece comes naturally from the love and respect we have for each other's work."
The piece that Andriana and Stephen have created is a journey into the world of Fairytale Asylum – where characters live, play and kill together. They hope you enjoy the trip.

Gowanda Harley-Davidson takes over Holiday Valley Jan. 26-27
GOWANDA – Gowanda Harley-Davidson is taking over Holiday Valley in Ellicottville Jan. 26 and 27 for Harley-Day Valley 2013. A weekend fully dedicated to learning to ski, learning to ride, and just getting out of the house.
Tim McKeever, Marketing Manager at Gowanda Harley-Davidson, says this is the first event of its kind at Holiday Valley where there's something for everyone. "This event is geared toward the entire family. Whether you ski or ride, or neither, you won't want to miss out on this fun time." Gowanda Harley-Davidson, now beginning its 66th year in business, is launching its all-new Jumpstart Program. "The Jumpstart is a new, exciting, opportunity for anyone who has ever dreamed of riding a motorcycle, but has been unsure, to try it out," McKeever adds. "It allows someone to sit on a real Harley-Davidson motorcycle, start it up, go through the gears, and experience the thrill that only a Harley can bring, all while remaining stationary, upright and with the safety of our trained staff right alongside of you. Just think that you'll be sitting on top of a brand new Seventy-Two Harley-Davidson motorcycle, overlooking the slopes of Holiday Valley, cruising at 30, 40 even 50 miles per hour. Anyone can do it, and quite frankly, we expect everyone will want to, so come out early."
Holiday Valley will be offering discounts on lodging throughout the weekend, as well as learn-to-ski packages.
"Many people are intimated by the thought of getting on the slopes, or think that either they're too old, or uncoordinated, but it's likely to be the opposite. Whether it's skiing, snowboarding, tubing, or riding the Sky Coaster, Holiday Valley wants to show you how simple and easy it is to enjoy this wonderful time of year there," McKeever said.
He goes on to share that even if you're set against skiing or motorcycles, you'll still want to come out. "Bottom line is, around this time, we all have cabin fever. Long, dark, cold days get old fast. Get out of the house, bring the family, your friends, even your co-workers and come join the fun. Spend the weekend. Holiday Valley and Gowanda Harley are even teaming up to throw a big Miller Party Saturday from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. inside the brand new Holiday Valley Lodge on the second floor. There's live music with Bleeding Hearts, lots of Harley giveaways, a Miller Snowboard to be given away Saturday during the party (Sunday, you can sign up to win a free Gowanda Harley Gear prize pack), a logo hunt on the slopes for prizes, Harley Snowboard Park contests, custom made Harley-Day Valley event t-shirts for sale, live radio broadcasts on Saturday morning and much more. And the great thing is, it's free to attend the event." As always, parking is free at Holiday Valley.
Harley-Day Valley 2013 is at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 26 and 27. Saturday the event starts at 9 a.m. and goes until 7:30 p.m., with Sunday hours from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Topic: Polymorphic Forms...
In my application I have two types of user accounts -- "Personal" and "Shared". Shared accounts are used by group entities such that all the officers in the organization share a username/password. (I'm tired of them just creating "people" with the firstname='teamname' and lastname='officers".)
I'm using STI, so I have a "User" Model with the email, password, and username fields. PersonalAccount adds a foreign key to a Person (which gets to firstname, lastname, etc), while SharedAccount just adds a "Display Name".
So far almost all of the code can deal with User interface exclusively. However the new account creation process is causing me a few conceptual issues. I'm using a wizard like process -- step one establishes all the common fields and uses radio buttons to select between the two account types. Step two then shows either the firstname,lastname combination or the displayname field. (Of course onces its all working, this is a prime place for an AJAX enchancement to just change what fields are on the form.)
How would you end up structuring the code in the view for the step two? I've been thinking about using two partials with an if (changing to a case if I ever add a third account type) in the view code. However that screams non-OOP to me. A slightly more OOPy approach would be to have the User subclasses respond_to a "partial_for" or similar message, but that seems to add a view dependency to the model which is normally a no-no. Can anyone help straighten me out here?
(I haven't started tackling the controller yet, but I assume I'll bump into the same types of issues there...)

I would be interested in hearing what the community is doing in the new year. Are there teas that you haven't sampled that you would like to? Possibly some tea-ware that you have your eye on? Maybe a tea shop/cafe that you would like to visit?
Personally: I would like to (eventually) get a good setup going for gongfu. Cha An, as mentioned in the green tea forum will most likely be getting a visit from me. Additionally, there have been very good suggestions from the community on publications and books - I will try to track some of them down, and really start expanding my knowledge.
I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2012.

I also bought the white tea sampler and the new flavored Pu-Erh sampler, so we'll see how that goes. Not the biggest Adagio fan, but I'm determined to make myself like white teas, even if I only like them flavored, and the Pu-Erhs look so promising.

A MAN from Shiplake illegally touted fighter planes and weapons worth millions of pounds to rebels fighting in Sudan, a court heard.
Christopher McDowell, of Badgers Walk, is accused of ignoring a government ban on selling arms to the African country which has a history of civil war.
Guildford Crown Court was told that the 55-year-old made Ł3 million from the unlicensed sale of four Chinese warplanes to the Ghana air force.
McDowell, who is chief executive of arms brokers Wellfind, is on trial with his business partner John Charlesworth, 50, from Aldgate, Ketton, Lincolnshire.
The pair were said to have pushed for sales of Chinese fighter jets and Russian attack helicopters in southern Sudan as rebel fighters waged war against troops from the north.
Andrew Marshall, prosecuting, told the jury that McDowell was operating as an agent for the China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation and for Kazan helicopters in Russia.
However, his business in Ghana between 2005 and 2007 was conducted without first obtaining a licence from the Department of Trade and Industry.
Mr Marshall said: "What this case is about is what is called arms brokering and also promotion of arms sales and arms supplies to an embargoed country.
"This case relates to three things. It relates to the sale, or arranging the sale, of military fighter jets from the Republic of China to the Republic of Ghana in west Africa, the dealing of night vision goggles from Russia to the Republic of Ghana and promoting the sale of military goods to Sudan in Africa.
"The military goods covered here were helicopters and some fighters."
The jury was read extracts from documents seized from McDowell's home and Wellfind's headquarters and a series of email exchanges which detailed conversations between McDowell, Charlesworth, business contacts from Catic and Kazan and senior figures in the South Sudanese government.
Among those speaking regularly with the arms dealers was South Sudan's vice-president Riek Machar Teny and Major General Dominic Deng, of the Sudan People's Liberation Army.
By October 2007, a draft contract was in place to supply two Russian Mi-17 V5 helicopters in a contract worth Ł16.5 million. Mr Marshall said that although the deal never materialised, it was an offence to have promoted sales of military kit in Sudan.
The court heard that McDowell, who had passport stamps for Juba and Nairobi in Kenya, led a delegation of officials from Catic to Sudan in July 2009.
A document found at his office entitled "SS Trip" listed brochures for K-8 jets, F-7 fighters and helicopters manufactured by Catic.
Mr Marshall said: "It seems to be a list of things that needed to be taken to South Sudan. It's a list of what to take because it is what he is promoting in South Sudan when he's going there."
The court heard McDowell also organised the sale and delivery of Chinese K-8 jets to the Ghana air force in February 2007 before he applied for a licence to conduct the deal. He applied to the DTI in February 2007 to broker the deal for four of the jets to be shipped from China to Ghana.
However, an official spotted a news report that two of the jets were already in Ghana and had been used in an air display during the country's 50th anniversary celebrations in early March 2007.
Documents showed the jets had arrived from China in late February — six weeks before the DTI granted the licence.
Mr Marshall said Wellfind received Ł3 million from Catic for the Ghana deal.
However, the delivery of the first two jets was illegal because the licence was not retrospective.
"It provides no cover of any sort for actions prior to its issue," said Mr Marshall.
"This is what Mr McDowell does for a living. You might have a greater expectation if it's somebody's job to know the rules and abide by them.
"You cannot start dealing with contracts without a licence in place."
The prosecutor said McDowell was also in breach of the export rules in relation to Russian night vision goggles Wellfind had shipped to Ghana as part of a legitimate deal to supply Mi-17 V5 helicopters to the country's air force.
The businessman's two-year licence for that deal had expired before the return of a pair of faulty goggles which had been sent back to be fixed at Kazan's factory in Moscow.
McDowell is charged with two counts of dealing arms in Ghana without a UK licence and two counts of promoting arms sales in Sudan.
Charlesworth faces two counts of promoting arms sales in Sudan.
Both men deny the charges.
The trial, which is expected to last three weeks, continues.

OH, and because there cannot be a post about the laundry without me whining, could people make sure they empty their aprons pockets before putting them in the dirty laundry bin, I've had an unpleasant incident involving tissues?? Thanks you!
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Higher calling put her in running
Samm Simpson is ready for her next big challenge: the 10th Congressional District race.
By WAVENEY ANN MOORE
Published September 25, 2006
DUNEDIN - Samm Simpson spent two months training her pet rabbit to use a litter box. She plays guitar and sings in a jazz improvisational band.
Talk to the 52-year-old and you'll learn she's a grandmother and "a follower of Jesus." She earns money by doing voice-overs and mows her own lawn. She even claims to enjoy it.
She's not the kind of person you'd expect to find in a congressional race, much less one that pits her against powerful 18-term Republican incumbent C.W. Bill Young.
Simpson thinks of herself as David to his Goliath. Others see it differently.
"She is clearly, at best, a female Don Quixote tilting at political windmills," said Darryl Paulson, government professor at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. "There are long-shot campaigns and this is longer than a long shot. This is almost an intergalactic campaign."
If Simpson manages to get as much as 35 percent of the vote in November, she should hold a victory party, Paulson said.
Young, who has not faced a serious challenger in years, claims not to be counting her out. "The first election that I won many years ago, nobody thought I had a chance of winning, so I don't take anything for granted," he said.
Simpson believes she can win.
"Yes. Yes, I do," she said during a recent interview. "There's something larger than me that's causing me to run. I've been watching this administration systematically undo law, the separation of powers, torture, mismanage, lie. I've been watching seniors fall into doughnut holes, watching family members not have proper health insurance or care, watching that our jails are filled with 2.1-million inmates.
"I have been watching 40 percent of high school students drop out. I had a situation where I had to take my grandson into my home and give him up for adoption because of some serious situations that many families face, and I want a better world for my grandson, and I want a better world for the children, and what they're doing is wrong."
She talked with barely a pause.
Simpson arrived for her early afternoon interview in a 1998 Toyota pickup with a bumper sticker promoting her campaign. It's paid for, she said, patting the red truck.
She brought a stack of articles and a couple of books: The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions and Financial Report of the United States: The Official Annual White House Report. She's trying to "come up to speed" with what she needs to know, Simpson said.
Rae Esposito is a close friend. The women met while attending a film class in 1989 and have been close ever since. To Esposito, Simpson is a bright, financially astute woman who sings and writes well. "She's got the left brain going on. She's got the right brain going on," she said.
"I never in a million years thought that she would get involved in politics," Esposito said by telephone from her Longwood home. "I think she was mad, and she's not going to take it any more."
Simpson said the president made her do it when he gave his annual state of the union address.
"The president of the United States was continuing to lie about our reasons for going into Iraq and ... I had had it. And I thought, what can I do? Something came over me. I've got to do something and besides, I have a grandson," she said.
"I'm calling myself now a follower of Jesus, rather than a born again Christian. I saw this president do this in the name of the Lord and I know Jesus personally and I saw the Christian right jump on board and confuse faith and nationalism and I say, it's time to kick the Pharisees and the Sadducees out of the temple."
Hers is a grass roots campaign for the 10th Congressional District that generally includes Pinellas County south of Clearwater, plus Dunedin and Palm Harbor. Portions of southern St. Petersburg are not included.
It took five weeks for Simpson and her volunteers to collect 4,089 signatures to get on the ballot, one more than needed. Young paid the $9,726 entry fee to be listed.
Ed Helm, chairman of the Pinellas Democratic Party, calls Simpson "the miracle candidate."
"I told Samm she would never qualify by petition," he said. "I guess the message is, every vote counts."
Through Aug. 16, she raised a mere $9,189 in donations compared to Young's $356,392. "At first, I was told I needed a million. I scoffed. Isn't democracy supposed to be about the people?" she asked.
She has no paid campaign staff, but has leased space in the Pinellas County Democratic headquarters at 2250 First Ave. N, in St. Petersburg. She hopes to open another office in Clearwater.
She was born in Iowa and moved to Florida for a television job in 1982. As a single mother, the move meant she and her young daughter would have the support of her parents who lived in the state.
Simpson is a self-described fiscal conservative. She shares her Dunedin home with Paul McDowell, her companion of eight years. They have honeysuckle, bamboo and azaleas in their yard, as well as a large fish pond.
Her life hasn't been easy.
As a single mother she had to juggle work and home, and then later, when her daughter had troubles of her own, Simpson took in her grandson.
She smiles when she talks about the few months he lived with her last year, before she made the difficult choice to give him up for adoption.
"He's doing great, and he's going to have such a wonderful life," Simpson said. "I can write letters." She carries photos of the little blond boy who called her Nana.
Her daughter is a painful topic. There were long pauses as Simpson tried to decide what to say about the 27-year-old woman. If elected to Congress, the $165,200 salary will provide needed money for her daughter's medical care, she said.
Simpson sees her own family problems as a reason voters should pick her. "I think that people that hurt, people that have been touched by pain have more compassion and more understanding," she said.
Simpson believes she'll do a better job than Young. "Congressman Young has done tremendous things for the county. I honor him for that," she said. "What Congressman Young will not do is stand up against this administration that is running rampant, putting this country in debt, continuing to put our young men and women in tremendous harm. Mr. Young will not stop that. He will not engage in that. I will."
To spread her message, Simpson started a Web site - sammsimpsonforcongress.com - and attends house parties thrown by supporters. She is prompt in granting media interviews and appears at any forum or debate that sends an invitation. Young has been a no-show at the few events she's attended so far, she said.
To reach the younger crowd, one of her volunteers also created a page on MySpace.com.
In February, Young turned up at the same restaurant where she and Helm were meeting with a handful of supporters. Simpson went to talk to him about the prison abuse in Iraq.
Helm finds meaning in the coincidental meeting and what he sees as more evidence that things are working in Simpson's favor.
"I've concluded that this is going to be a very surprising and unusual race," he said. "Don't bet on Goliath."

Hmm.... very good reviews convinced us to try it however no noticeable results as yet.. Just finished the first of two bottles ordered and no change despite using even up to 4 times the dosage ( out of desperation to get it to work ). At this stage extremely disappointed.
No results of any kind

iHerb delivered in record time and their promptness impressed me. So far the pills have made me feel more energetic; workouts are easier than before and I don't have that sluggish feeling when I wake up in the morning. I've lost three pounds in the two weeks I've been taking them! I'd definitely order again.
This product works!!
Posted by Reviewer3159731 on Mar 26, 2011
I bought this product in the hope of losing a few kilos before my friends wedding which I'm bridesmaid in 2 months. Plus, I have been struggling to shift the weight since I regularly go the gym and perhaps eat more to compensate for the amount of exercise I do. I have been using this product for 1 week and have definately noticed my appetite has decreased considerably and I am only eating 3 meals per day without snacking in between. I'm making sure my portions are smaller and controlled and I actually don't feel hungry or feel the need to come home and want to snack before dinner. I think this product really works and feel I have lost a little weight in the week I have used it. Also combined with exercise and a balanced diet. I only wish they had larger packet size than 30 caps. It definately works and would buy again.

Carter Pedigree. Absolutely amazing luster with superb toning. This is the most common date in high grade, but quality such as this is rare indeed.
Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993).
Coinage Context
Large mintage: The production quantity of trade dollars at the San Francisco Mint in 1875 was immense. Included in the monthly figures (see Summary of Characteristics) were several months' production which on their own would have been satisfactory for a year in earlier times; namely, January 695,000, April 652,000, May 535,000, October 614,000, November 517,000, and December 516,000. These numbers when added to the figures for other months comprised a total of 4,487,000 pieces, a record for the series.
While the majority of such coins were exported, thousands went into circulation on the West Coast, particularly in the San Francisco area, where they traded at face value in commercial transactions. Possibly the largest exporter was the Nevada Bank of San Francisco (see Additional Information under 1877).
Mint officials rested easy, knowing that the silver-mining interests (and their congressional friends, Senators Allison and Jones and Representative Richard P. Bland) were satisfied in the knowledge that the market for the metal was strong. The Oriental demand was great, and domestically a good future awaited the continuing coinage of fractional pieces (from the dime through the half dollar), which were being minted in very large quantities to redeem Fractional Currency notes and to restore silver to United States commerce.
Numismatic Information
Varieties: 80% to 90% are Type I/I, and the rest are I/II. Apparently, the Type II reverse dies reached San Francisco late in the year and were not used extensively.
Circulated grades: In grades from Very Fine to AU the 1875-S is the third most common trade dollar. As such, it is a favorite with "type" collectors. Tens of thousands of these coins exist. Chopmarked coins are also plentiful; most are Type I/I, but many are I/II; each is common.
Mint State grades: In MS-65 the 1875-S is the most available of all trade dollars. I estimate that 75 to 150 or more exist. Most are decent strikes and are quite lustrous. At the MS-64 level I believe that 200 to 400 or more exist, while I estimate 500 to 1,000 or more as the population for MS-63 coins. In grades from MS-60 to 62, an estimated 1,500 to 3,000 or more survive. Many Uncirculated coins were brought to the United States from Hong Kong in the 1940s and 1950s. Most (about 80% to 90%) Mint State coins are Type I/I; the rest are Type I/II.
Varieties: The 1875-S Type I/I exists with micro s and with large S. The 1875-S Type I/II exists with tall S as well as with micro s, the latter being rare. Still another has an inadvertent "period" (die flaw, not punctuation) between IN and GOD and is considered rare. Collecting interest in trade dollars by mintmark sizes is not great, and usually such pieces can be obtained for little or no extra premium.
Circulation strikes:
1. Micro s: Breen-5790. Not rare. Sometimes the S appears as a blob (as also seen on dimes of this date). Often seen chopmarked.
2. Large S: Breen-5791. Mintmark 1.17 mm high. Sometimes seen with broken serifs on ITE MER and some other letters. One reverse die has a large "glob" on the first L of DOLLAR. Another has a dot between IN. GOD (Breen-5794). Often seen with chopmarks.
(1875-S/CC: See next section of this book.)
Circulation strikes:
1. Micros: Breen-5795. Still very rare.
2. Medium S: Mintmark 1.1 mm high.
3. Large (or tall) S: Breen-5793. Mintmark 1.17 mm high. Plentiful on an absolute basis, but on a relative basis about four to five times scarcer than II 1. The usually encountered variety of the Type II reverse. Often seen chopmarked.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 30; Reverse: 30. According to R.W.Julian, 24 pairs were shipped on November 12, 1874, and 6 more pairs on July 28, 1875.
Circulation strike mintage: 4,487,000. Delivery figures by month: January: 695,000; February: 109,000; March: 30,000; April: 652,000; May: 535,000; June: 227,000; July: none; August: 311,000; September: 281,000; October: 614,000; November: 517,000; December: 516,000. If all 30 die-pairs were used, the average production rose sharply to 149,166 coins per pair.
Characteristics of striking: Often seen with weakness on eagle's sinister leg.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: None
Rarity with original Chinese chopmark(s): Type I/ I. Common; Type I/II. Common, but not as common as Type I/I.
Although the 1875-S is not the highest mintage trade dollar, it is the most available in Mint State.

Economists: Oregon Economy Stable, Though Revenue Short
Oregon's budget appears stable for now.
Economists said Tuesday that tax and lottery collections are
down slightly from their earlier projections. But the declines were
offset by legal settlements and accounting maneuvers approved
earlier this year to rebalance the state budget.
The forecast will not require budget cuts beyond those already
Still, the Legislature's Emergency Board is expected to vote
Wednesday on a plan to eliminate 188 state jobs under a $28 million
budget cut that the Legislature approved earlier this year. The job
cuts would apply primarily to middle managers as part of a
legislative mandate to reduce the long-term cost of government.

Gas Logs
For people who have an existing fireplace but seldom use it, a set of gas fireplace insert logs may be the best way to have dancing flames at your fingertips. Gas logs provide dramatic realism, from the lifelike ceramic fiber, concrete or refractory logs down to the glowing embers. These log insert sets have a burner that uses either natural gas or propane. Propane and natural gas fireplace inserts are an affordable way to revamp your existing fireplace.
Vented and Vent-free logs
Vented units have a spectacular flame pattern, but are decorative only. Vent-free models offer high efficiency but may not be permitted in some areas (check with your local building official or hearth specialty retailer before installing any unit). Whether you want the look of a small split pine campfire or massive oak logs, there is a gas log insert set for you.

Skip to comments.Could there be a Muslim president? (Would you vote for one?)
Posted on 01/15/2012 10:25:18 AM PST by SeekAndFind
With the New Hampshire primaries behind the GOP and South Carolina on the horizon, Mitt Romney seems the likely presidential candidate. Perhaps surprisingly, Romneys Mormonism has yet to be a major stumbling block, and as time passes it doesnt appear that it will become a hindrance.
But lets consider another question. Could America vote for a Muslim?
Say a Muslim arrived on the scene with powerful and equitable ideas and challenged the status quo. Perhaps doubts are cast that a Muslim could actually become president, but the same was once said about Catholics and people of color.
One stumbling block to the potential Muslim candidate would be that many people think America is a Christian nation. At one time even this would have been questioned. If you had said to the predecessors to what would become the United States that America is a Puritan nation they likely would have agreed.
Simply put, there very well could come a day when a president who prays to Allah sits in the Oval Office. As Christian privilege slowly erodes due to tidal waves of globalization and pluralism, Americas hope is that religious differences will not erode but become respected. This is thanks in large part to the Constitution.
Just this week the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a lower court order striking down an Oklahoma constitutional amendment that would prevent state courts from considering Sharia law. The decision is based not on respect for Muslim tradition, but rather for the First Amendment -- the same First Amendment that protected Baptists early in the American experience.
If anyone should be the greatest allies with Muslims in America, it is Baptists. Yet time after time many Baptists lead the charge against religious differences, even at the risk of harming their own self-interest. Many Baptists have kowtowed to political power in order to protect their power and privilege, in the process sacrificing their prophetic voice.
As Roger Williams stated in The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience, the blood of so many hundred thousand souls of Protestants and papists, spilled in the wars of present and former ages for their respective consciences, is not required nor accepted by Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace.
A truly Christian nation not only imposes no formal religion on its citizens but also fosters freedom to express ones own conscience Muslim, Mormon or whatever.

(Would you vote for one?)
A snowball stands a better chance in the flames of hell.
I thought we already got the 0ne we were waiting for.
RE: I thought we already got the 0ne we were waiting for.
OK< let's ask ourselves a different and more specific question — Could a person who HONESTLY and OPENLY calls himself a Muslim be President of the USA?
It's name is Hussein, and no, I would not vote for it.
There already is one. He may not be seen walking into the Mosque but he is a Muslim.
What part of "Hussein" don't you understand?
I thought we already got the 0ne we were waiting for. I was going to say but don't we already have one?
Strange question; would I vote for a muslim to be president? The answer is no, not under any circumstances given the structure and history of their beliefs and systems which are contrary to those of the highest forms of Western Civilization, i.e., democracy, capitalism and Judeo-Christianity. In fact, their beliefs are to destroy those bases of our systems and replace them with their own. I wouldn't vote for a nazi or communist either, given their beliefs/systems are enemies of Western Civilization as well, which is why we fought to destroy them, and which is why we are at war with islam too, like it,or believe it, or not.
I will NEVER vote for any Muslim for president. That's like the sheep debating the wolves what's for dinner.
When they have the numbers, they WILL try to establish a caliphate here. All the ethnic and religious cleansing that is happening against Christians in the ME and Africa will happen here.
Because of the radicals in their ranks (you know, the ones that aren't afraid to say what's on their minds and act on it) we have had our freedoms curtailed and lives disrupted. To hades with them, I say.
Not unless you can find one who is a strict constitutionalist first but that's a pretty tall order. I think the only muslim I would turn my back on at this point is Zhudi Jasser and he's a muslim muslim basher.
Five years ago I probably would have said yes. Now, no way.
53% of the votes were cast for one a few years back.
How many of those votes were legitimate is an exercise for another thread...
Romney is a minion of SATAN.
Islam is sedition.
We already have one. Why would anyone want to vote for another one?
No muslim, no mormon.
No, we are a Christian nation.
Let the mooselimbs run one of the country's that islam has already destroyed.
I would never vote for one. Shariah law is incompatible with our Constitution on the most basic levels, and any muslim is bound by his religion to spread Shariah.
I already didn't.
I suspect a lot of Obama voters did not know he was a muslim. Now we all know he is a muslim. Those who vote for Obama in 2012 will be perfectly aware that they are voting for a muslim.
BTW "Progressive Christian Alliance" = oxymoron.
He's waiting until after the election to walk into a mosque, win or lose. And, it won't be the first time.
On 9/11/01 I learned all I'll ever need to know about Muslims. The answer to your question is a resounding "H*LL NO!"
NO, the only good Muslim (never mind).
Yes, Americans are not having children at the same rate as muslims, and our rulers allow muslims to migrate here in large numbers. Also, Americans by and large have no spine and will go peacefully in to giving the socialists and the muslims what they want.
We are becoming a country of yoked sheep, slaving on the fields to feed our masters. AMericans are allowing 20% off the people to rule 80% and have not the courage to change it.
we've already got a muslim President.... we are just waiting for him to come out of the closet.
We already have one.
we already have one. OBAMA.
There already is one, and I didn't vote for it.
we already have one. OBAMA.
My guess is that isn't the only closet that will have it's door opened....Just sayin'
The Muslim idea of democracy is;
One Man
One Vote
One Time.
We already seem to have that.
This must be a joke, satire, etc.
Some already did.
We have one currently.....
I cannot see how a faithful Muslim can defend the Constitution. NO.
I counted more than 5 responses similar to yours.
However, Obama OPENLY calls himself a Christian who prays to Jesus Christ ( whether you believe him or not is another matter ).
So lets ask ourselves a different and more specific question Could a person who HONESTLY and OPENLY calls himself a Muslim be President of the USA?
Our current President is a closeted Muslim.
Say a Muslim arrived on the scene with powerful and equitable ideas and challenged the status quo.
Then he wouldn't be a muslim.
No, HELL NO!
The first ammendment is not a suicide pact either.
Democracy and Theocracy cannot exist within one government. Not going to knowingly vote for someone who wants a theocracy. Not going to vote for someone who wants a socialist or communist country either.
I would not, could not, check his box.
I could not, would not, he's a sly fox.
I will not support him or his spouse
I will not support them in my house.
I will not support them here or there.
I will not support them anywhere.
Romney is a minion of SATAN.
Answer: Any demographic that would vote for the current occupant of the White House would vote for a Moslem, thus the answer is yes there could be a Moslem elested as President. As far as my voting for one the answer is no!

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: Well organised 10k. Shame you cant organise the weatherIn full: Everything ran smoothly from the moment we arrived in the car park. Well signed areas, quick registration, areas to keep warm & dry. Then a quick briefing before setting off. The wind and drizzle did seem to be attacking us down the last section of the circuit. Services provided afterwards were excellent. Staff were very helpfull. A good outing for only my second run.Date of review: November 25, 2010
In short: Just brilliantIn full: OK - the weather is just awful - and for some reason it constantly rains in the home 1km even if it doesn't rain elsewhere. But this is just so great. Easy to get to. Easy to register. No hanging about at the start. Organisation like clock work. Love it. Date of review: November 23, 2010
In short: plenty of potential to become a much bigger eventDate of review: November 23, 2010
In short: Really Enjoyable but very Chilly! Good Fun, well organised would do againDate of review: November 23, 2010
In short: Perfection As Always!In full: Despite the awful weather, this race was great. As always wonderful organisation, well done DB Max.Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: Cold driving rain didn't show it at it's best, but great atmosphere and very well organised.Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: As a beginner, it was a really good experience.In full: This was my first race ever. Never even been to a race as a visitor before let alone a competitor. I thought the organisation was good leading up to the race (email coms etc) and was good on the day.I hope they keep doing this race again next year, as I definitely plan to beat what is now my PB!Thanks to Will and DB Max.Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: A reliable and enjoyable event on a fascinating course.In full: I see with some surprise that this is the fourth time that I have run in this event. I ran once in 2008, twice in 2009 and may well run twice this year too. Why do I keep coming back? Well, there is something about this Castle Combe motor racing circuit that says to me "I am a fast course" and that, together with exemplary organisation by dbMax, seems to draw me back. The dbMax team are making quite a name for themselves as they expand their range of events and if they are all like this, I wish them well. (I suspect that they are; I took part in the Trowbridge Triathlon this August and that was excellent too.)There is not a lot to add to my previous reviews. Advance information via the website is excellent and the location is quite obviously set up with loads of competitor and spectator parking and facilities. I was accompanied by two members of my family this time and they both took part in the duathlon (run-bike-run) which took place on the same circuit a couple of hours earlier. It's a good location to be a spectator as well as be a competitor.The 10k is pretty strightforward - no routefinding challenges here! The course is in open countryside, so competitors usually have to be prepared for a headwind somewhere on the circuit. One drinks station en route, so you pass it every three kilometres. The finishing spur is well laid out and the chip timing process works well. Results are posted very quickly and there is a medal too. I must say that I would not mind not receiving a goody bag at this event and would be happy just to be handed the medal and a cereal bar, rather than a large and nearly empty carrier bag, but that is the only suggestion that I have for improvement.In conclusion, this is a great 10k run and you know exactly what you are going to get. Give it a try!Date of review: September 15, 2010
Date of review: August 19, 2010
In short: Good, fairly challenging 10k 3 times around the track at Castle Combe.In full: Overall a good race, the course is mildly challenging. More hilly than I was expecting (they weren't large more long and gentle). As the circuit is exposed even though it was a warm mild day there was quite a head wind at some points. Not much to look at on the way round. Good facilities, although food rather expensive, ran out of goody bags though, would recommend as an good race but there are nicer ones out there.Date of review: August 16, 2010

I know these rankings are stupid and often crap, but michigan at 8 is a bit of a head scratcher.
I agree with Scott Van Pelt on this all the way. scum is staring 3 losses in the face. Most likely a sure fire loss to Bama, then legit chances at losing to ND, MSU and OSU (not to mention NEB) none of which would be upsets, and they play AF who is always a possible PITA.
DR is dynamic but not consistent enough to overcome that schedule IMO, hard to see scum finishing in top 15.
