Oral Questions
April 3rd, 2008 / 2:55 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Afghanistan motion recently passed by this House outlined our assessment that NATO needs to provide more troops in southern Afghanistan. Our Prime Minister, our Minister of National Defence and our Minister of Foreign Affairs have been working hard at pressing this point with our allies.
Yesterday we heard important news coming out of the summit. The French have committed to send more troops to eastern Afghanistan and the Americans have agreed to bolster our troops in the south. Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence tell us what this means for Canada and for NATO?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Edmonton Centre
Laurie Hawn Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his strong support of the Canadian Forces. We are very pleased that our American and French allies have stepped up. Canada made the request to NATO. Our allies listened to us and have responded. It is a tribute to the leadership of the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Defence and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The House recently passed a motion calling for this kind of support from NATO. That support has now been delivered. That check is in the box. There are a couple of other requirements that we are looking for. We are making great progress in that area. We will get that job done as well, as we always do.
Gasoline Prices
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Brian Masse Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, gas prices in Canada are on the rise again. As working families were taking their children to school this morning, gas stations across this country were jacking up prices at the pump. They cannot blame it on hurricane Katrina any more. This time it is speculators and profiteers fuelled by pure greed.
The Competition Bureau has proven useless on this file and has not protected Canadians. Canadians need a real solution: an oil and gas monitoring and regulatory system. Why will this Conservative government not get the job done?
Gasoline Prices
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Cypress Hills—Grasslands
David Anderson Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, we are getting the job done. We understand the burden that high gas prices put on Canadian families and the cost of living for everyone. We have taken direct steps to help to reduce those gas prices and the cost of living with significant changes, particularly tax reductions, including cuts to the GST. We are focused on energy efficiency and we are getting the job done for Canadians.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
The Bas-Caraquet weather station in New Brunswick provides an essential service to residents and fishers. It helps to keep them safe. There are rumours that the government plans to close the station. I wrote two letters to the Minister of the Environment, one in October and another in February, asking him what he planned to do, and he never replied.
Does the minister intend to close the Bas-Caraquet weather station or not? If not, will he provide the money to update it?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question.
After receiving his letter, I uncovered secret cuts made by the previous government. The former Minister of the Environment, who is now the Liberal Party leader, is the one who made those cuts.
I would like to tell the House that the government does not intend to close the Bas-Caraquet weather station, and that I would be pleased to work with my colleague to find the funds needed for this important file.
Tourism Industry
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, last week I met with the stakeholders of the tourism industry and they are upset with the government.
The Minister of Transport is not allowing air access to Canadian airports. The Minister of Human Resources and Social Development is not helping with staff shortages. The Minister of National Revenue has taken away the individual GST rebate and has denied adequate customs services. The Minister of Industry has cut promotion. Finally, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has failed to get approved destination status for China.
Hello? Does anybody over there care about the tourism industry?
Tourism Industry
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, this government cares about the tourism industry. If we want to find a former Canadian government that did not care about the tourism industry, it sits on that side of the House. It did absolutely nothing to advance the interests of Canadian tourism.
This minister is dealing with the issue. The former Liberal government did not do anything.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Dean Allison Niagara West—Glanbrook, ON
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development. Given the fact that the human resources and social development committee is about to embark on a very important study of poverty in Canada, and in light of recent meetings with the minister's provincial housing counterparts yesterday, can the minister tell us what this government is doing to help Canadians struggling in poverty with regard to affordable and social housing in Canada?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Medicine Hat
Monte Solberg Minister of Human Resources and Social Development
Mr. Speaker, I want to acknowledge the member's leadership as the chair of the human resources committee. He does an outstanding job.
Last night I was pleased to have very warm and constructive meetings with my provincial and territorial colleagues. We agreed to work together on these important issues. I was very pleased to point out to them that we are now providing more resources for the building of homes for vulnerable Canadians than any government in history. They were very pleased to learn that.
Government Contracts
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bill Casey Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley, NS
Mr. Speaker, when the Minister of Public Works called for bids on the Victoria class in-service support contract, the department apparently accepted the most expensive proposal. When I applied through access to information to confirm this, I was sent a really nice chart, but all the numbers on it are blanked out.
Therefore, would the minister confirm that the bid chosen was the most expensive, highest priced tender, and would he now table the complete chart with the numbers so we can all see what the tenders were?
Government Contracts
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services and for the Pacific Gateway and the Vancouver-Whistler Olympics
Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleague is very interested in this file, and rightfully so, in that it is an important one, but his comments on this in public have been entirely premature. This issue is in fact before the courts. No final decision has been made. I would be glad to work with my colleague to get him whatever information he is looking for.
I know that all members of the House from all parties welcome him back to the House and wish him a full recovery. It is great to see him back in the House.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I would like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of the Honourable Jerome Kennedy, Minister of Justice and Attorney General for Newfoundland and Labrador.
Presence in Gallery

Business of the House
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, on the business of the House for the coming week, I wonder if the government House leader could provide the agenda that he has in mind beyond the budget bill, which of course is preoccupying the House now. I would also like to ask him two specific questions.
First, Bill C-21, dealing with aboriginal human rights, has been dealt with extensively in a committee of the House of Commons and has been reported back to the House. It has been sitting on the order paper ready to be dealt with by the House since the 30th of January. I wonder if he could tell us when he intends to call Bill C-21 to be finally dealt with in the House.
Second, it was three weeks ago today that this House adopted a motion pertaining to the mission in Afghanistan. That motion calls explicitly for the creation of a special standing committee to provide greater transparency and accountability with respect to that mission in Afghanistan. It is important that that committee be struck immediately. I wonder if the government House leader could indicate his intention with respect to the establishment of the committee on the Afghanistan mission.

When "Desperate Housewives" aired its season finale last month, I thought my "guilty pleasure" television-watching days would have to be put on hiatus. I am a fan of "Big Brother," which comes back on the air later this summer for three days a week, but there is only so much "stupid" one person can take.
Enter "Swingtown"."
The CBS drama, being touted as "That '70s Sex Show," is the perfect summertime addition to my DVR "record me" list. The show airs Thursdays at 10 p.m., meaning after the kiddies have gone to sleep. Considering this was a show originally optioned to HBO, it is no surprise that CBS would slot it in "adult viewing" time.
I asked my husband if he wanted to watch "Swingtown" with me. He told me he'd skip it, so I watched it in our room while he worked in the living room. He came in at 10:54 and proceeded to ask me who everyone was – I explained as best I could, but with nine main characters, I'm afraid I didn't do that great a job. When the closing credits came up, he looked at me with his face in a scowl and said: 'I hate you," which in our world is code for "I hate that I started watching this because now I have to watch next week."
The show takes place during the summer of 1976 in Winnetka, Ill., a town 15 minutes from where I grew up in the north shore of Chicago. The three couples – the "swingers" (they have an open marriage); "the squares" (the wife is a prude with a capital "P") and the "in-betweens" (she's looking for something more, but he seems to be missing it) – are all played phenomenally.
From a newlywed perspective, the show is a study in marriage (at least the marriages of the 1970s). What category do you fall into? I My guess would be that most people fall into the middle one, not necessarily that they want to swing, but that they are sometimes looking to shake things up a bit.
Some have asked if this is the kind of show we should have on the networks. Personally, I feel that if they can show shoot-'em-up cop shows and "ewww that was gross" medical dramas, having a show where sex is talked about but never shown is totally fine.
After all, aren't things supposed to get hotter in the summer?

Running In Place - Page 10
Completing the first of the race's three laps, Engle, not surprisingly, felt reasonably strong, but lap two of the hilly course had him suffering, wondering if he could survive another. Yet he did—and won the race. Engle jokes, "I had finally found a sport so obscure that I was good at it." It was fall of that year that Engle watched the Discovery Channel Eco-Challenge show, and his life of endurance began.
Aside from the visible lights of race finishes and Hollywood films, though, Engle's most enduring legacy my be the least known. Among those in attendance that Saturday night in Greensboro, before his sentencing was Lester Pace, 52, of Burlington, North Carolina, a fraternity brother of Engle's at Chapel Hill, where he says they were always "going 110 miles an hour." Pace was at Engle's side during some of his darkest addiction days, and Engle subsequently influenced Pace to pursue sobriety as well. "Charlie spoke at my one-year [sobriety] anniversary, and again at my nine-year anniversary," says Pace. "I give him a lot of credit for how my life turned out.
"There is a serenity and comfort in being of use to others, and that is the motivation for the charitable things Charlie has done. All his [post-sobriety] endeavors have had an altruistic bent."
At dinner at a restaurant across the street before Engle's talk, Liz Lindsay of Greensboro, who runs Janes on the Run women's running schools, says Engle has inspired many area runners to get into ultras. "He has spoken many times to my running classes," she says. "He often runs with my groups, too, which are typically out-of-shape, middle-aged women."
Not present at Engle's gathering was Norma Bastidas, 43, now of Vancouver, Canada, an accomplished ultrarunner, and Engle's recent ex-fiancé. She had had just undergone a third surgery on her hand, badly broken while trail running. She appeared, though, via a video message.
Bastidas, who met Engle through her close friend and trainer Ray Zahab (Engle's Running the Sahara cohort), says the stress of the court case became too much. "I am a single parent and do events to raise awareness to find a cure for blindness, since I have a son who is losing his sight," says Bastidas. "I have my two kids full time and a responsibility to the charities I represent, so I had to unfortunately choose between my sons and seeing Charlie. He understands that I am first a mother and that my son deserves a cure.
"Charlie is the most unselfish person I have ever met. He is a world-class athlete but in less that five minutes you forget that and he makes you feel like you are talking to an old friend. He takes the time to listen to everyone's problems, whether it is about divorce, addiction, death, anything. He leads by example, and gives people hope that anything can be done."
Another "ex" (Engle jokes that he may not be the best husband or boyfriend, "but I make a great ex!") attending the Saturday evening event was Lisa Trexler, 39, of Greensboro, who dated Engle for about five years, including during the Sahara adventure.
"I've seen firsthand how much he has inspired others, whether it be his sons, his mother, his friends or a stranger in the airport. People seem to feel an immediate connection with him and a comfort that can't be explained," says Trexler. "What I learned most from Charlie was how to be forgiving, compassionate and non-judgmental."
Chris Roman, 41, a radiologist and ultrarunner from Jacksonville, Florida, had traveled to Greensboro for the event as well. In September 2010, in just over six days, Roman had run the 363-mile length of the Erie Canal to raise money for Lance Armstrong's LIVESTRONG organization and, in January 2011, would run Brazil's 530-kilometer Caminho da Fe (Path of Faith) to benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF).

New Calumet police chief fired
James Penrose Markham
HOUGHTON CANAL – James Penrose Markham, 74, passed away at his home early Thursday morning with his children by his side.
Jim was born in Calumet on July 21, 1938. He was the only son of John and Blanche (Volberg) Markham of Houghton. He spent his summers on his beloved Isle Royale where his father was stationed with the National Park Service.
He worked two summers as a suveyor for a geological service on Isle Royale, later as a part-time commercial fisherman in the Keweenaw and Isle Royale. He loved his boats, from his little wooden rowboats to his 38-foot Bayliner. Whenever he could, he would head to the island taking many friends and family members over the years. He passed this love of Isle Royale on to all his children.
Jim worked for Hornick's Station, Kinn Bottled Gas and Michigan Gas and Electric (Semco) until his retirement at age 60. He was also a business owner, starting with Canal Boat Sales in the 1960s, which later became Markham's Marina.
Jim served as president of the Stanton School Board during the construction of E.B. Holman School. He also served for many years on several boards of the Copper Country Junior Hockey Association, Michigan Amateur Hockey Association and U.P. Hockey Association and aided in development of programs, coaching and volunteering countless hours of service to the area hockey rinks. He was a former president of the Isle Royale Boaters Association, and, most recently, served on the Houghton County Road Commission Board.
Jim married Margaret Anderson on Dec. 12, 1959, and they made their home on the Houghton Canal.
Preceding him in death were his parents; his son-in-law, Glenn Peterson; brothers and sisters-in-law, Melvin and Eleanor Anderson, Reino Anderson and Arthur Maki.
Surviving are his wife, at PortagePointe; five daughters and eight sons: Patty Peterson of Hancock, Jane and Paul Hietala of Houghton Canal, Beth and Russell Ryynanen of Chassell, Joan and Dale Kero of Hancock and Crystal and Jim Pietila of Howell; Timothey and Diane of Greer, S.C., Todd and Lisa of Houghton Canal and Indian River, Jeffrey and Monica of Chassell, Corey and Mandy of Houghton, Jamey and Liddy of Houghton Canal, Nicholas and Julie of Ishpeming, Ryan and Karmen of Atlantic Mine and Rodney and Joanne of Houghton Canal.
He was dearly loved and will be missed by 73 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; his half-sister, Grace Marie Schroff; and his life-long buddy, Ray Niemi; also survived by sisters and brothers-in-law, Millie Maki, Shirley Anderson, Pete and Helen Kinnunen, Milton and Louise Erva and Marvin and Margaret Anderson; numerous nieces and nephews who loved and respected him.
Friends may call on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013, from 4 to 7 p.m. and Sunday for one hour prior to the service which will be held at 2 p.m. at the First Apostolic Lutheran Church on Sharon Avenue in Houghton. There will be a celebration of Jim's life this summer to be announced.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jeff Huotari for all his sincere care of Jim.

The Gift of Exercise
There are many things one can do to be a healthier, better functioning human. From food to exercise, it's a lot to remember, plan out, and execute. So for Mother's Day, why don't you give you and your spouse the gift of exercise? You know, let some one else plan workouts so that you can effectively lose weight, tone up, and enjoy yourself!
Don't scoff at this idea yet!
It's proven that when people have the support of others, especially the ones they share daily life with, they are more likely to stick to a healthy routine. It's called accountability. If you both agree to commit, you will hold each other responsible for your eating and exercise habits.
With this warm weather, what better time to get fit?! Along with hitting the weights, the family can hit the trails for hiking, bike around the neighborhood, go camping, swimming, and spend a ridiculous amount of time outside playing tag and climbing trees! Don't forget the SPF!
I don't know about other gyms, but here at FORE, you and your spouse can work out together in a private space with equipment and certified trainers you won't find in your 'typical' gym. We like to have fun and train in space. We've got a reinforced wall to throw med balls against, bands that attach to the wall, a tire, battling ropes, and more!
If you're already seeing a personal trainer, ask if you can add your spouse to liven up some sessions. Usually the sessions will be cheaper per person with the addition!

Posted on 06/20/2013 12:16:58 PM PDT by matt04
BELMONT, Mass. A woman and her two children, ages 7 and 10, narrowly escaped serious injury when a train smashed into their minivan after a GPS device led the driver onto MBTA train tracks Tuesday night.
The woman was driving southbound on Brighton Street shortly before 9 p.m. when the GPS device directed her to make a right turn which placed her vehicle directly onto railroad tracks.
Apparently the woman was unable to drive off the tracks, forcing her to flee the vehicle with her children.
Shortly thereafter, an MBTA Fitchburg bound commuter rail train carrying 70 passengers slammed into the minivan. Nobody was injured in the collision either on or off the train.
No information was given as to why the woman could not drive off the tracks nor was there a reason given as to why she couldn't see that she was driving onto them in the first place.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
You should follow orders without question.
A nation of technology dependent morons.
Oh, yeah "The GPS did it". I bet.
Lemme guess:
A. She was talking on her cell phone.
B. She was texting.
Let me guess. Obama supporter and wants to get PAID by the evil white man that owns the train that ran into her van. Unless you are blind or drunk how could you NOT tell you were driving onto railroad tracks. First clue - if you what looks like railroad ties and rails and the ride suddenly gets real bumpy you might be on railroad tracks
Apparently the woman was unable to drive off the tracks. Really. Suicide attempt.
A Low Information Voter following the direction of "Superior" intellect. No surprise here.
Something smells very fishy about that story.
Suspicions of her being an Obama voter...arise from the depths.
I forgot ALSO paid by the evil white mn that invented the GPS device and built the satellites too.
Too dumb for words.
I'd like to see a photo of the woman to confirm my suspicions...
I predict a lawsuit against the GPS manufacturer.
Bet she votes Rat.
She was too busy texting on her cellphone.
Only time a government mandated safety device deployed correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUHAHAHAHA
"Let me guess. Obama supporter and wants to get PAID by the evil white man that owns the train"
I'll bet you she's suing the evil white men who made the defective GPS she claims put her on the railroad tracks too.
The car was 'stuck' on the tracks. Apparently she wasn't driving across a train 'intersection', she was driving across JUST the tracks. She high-centered it over the actual rails.
Predict. Guaranteed especially if an Obamo supporter. I would have had her take an standard field sobriety test and requested to see her cell phone if I were working the scene. And the GPS device of course. I'd be interested to see what her kids have to say but you have to tread lightly in that area.
Last year had a yo-yo drive his car around a barricade and
down a flooded street
We had to go out in boats and fish him off top of car
When questioned by cops why was driving into a flooded road
"GPS told me to turn down this street..."
Was charged with ignoring a traffic device.......
Smoke from the crack pipe is caustic when it come into contact with printed circuitry.
(Probably texting...Red Englanders are LOST without their toys. Every week I get some woman in my neighborhood completely lost because she was 'following' her GPS.)
Was that the GPS model that was on sale for half price?
Well... it was getting dark...
I'm sure she is hoping that the GPS unit was destroyed so that there is no conflicting evidence.
Can't someone think, that if a GPS says turn right, but a right turn takes you down railroad tracks and not a street, that this is not the correct turn to make? Maybe you should keep driving, let the GPS annouce it's recalculating, then see if it takes you on a realistic route????
Hard to believe she got "stuck".
Check out the crossing in this video -
I smell bullsh!t.
I've heard of Obama-phones, but Obama-gps is news to me...
August 23, 2012
About 400 feet from the ferry dock, a GPS unit in the man's car told him to take a hard right turn, Schofield said.
"The GPS apparently misrouted him, and he drove down the ramp for launching boats into the water," Schofield said. "He was unfamiliar with the area is the only answer I have for you."
Map reading is a lost art.
You can't train stupid.
GPS devices are a great tool, but they are not fool proof.
It only took me a few hours of using one to learn I could not depend on it for 100% accuracy.
I try to know about where I am going before I start a trip. If there is a conflict between where I think I should go and where the GPS directs me to go, I follow my instincts.
I remember a guy who was so drunk, he drove onto the RR tracks in a town close to where I grew up. It was after a beer and BBQ wedding. He did find a way to get it off before the next freight train came down the tracks.
I have never used a GPS and have yet to get lost. Of course, almost 40 years of reading strip maps in the military is a big plus. I know several people - wife included - who have no sense of direction. I can tell her to turn north or south on US or TX road and she asks "Do I have to turn left or right?"
Obviously a Democrat....and even more obvious will be the Lawsuit against the maker of the GPS for failure to warn the dumbass that traffic doesn't know she's following instructions, and paying no attention to driving.
I saw a Mexican girl pull up and stop on the RR tracks right in front of a slow moving train. Train was maybe 50 yards away.
The train hit her truck and pushed it maybe 100yds down the tracks.
She wasn't hurt but she went absolutely nuts screaming at the trains engineer that he should have stopped the train.
And if the GPS told her to jump off a cliff...
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
― Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
Not so hard to do.
It was night, obviously in an unfamiliar area (hence the GPS), etc. If the tracks are close to the road, your headlights might not illuminate them until you were right on them.
Similar thing happened to me once. I turned left onto an entrance ramp for the interstate. Turns out, it was split to accept traffic from both directions, with an island in between. Didn't even see the traffic island, though, because the intersection was unlit. I ended up driving right over the island. Never saw it until I was on it.
Fortunately, I was in my high clearance 4x4, and not the wife's low-slung European sedan...
I've also crossed railroad tracks in a 4x4 (not at a crossing). It can be tricky, even with four wheel drive engaged and plenty of ground clearance. A standard rail is over 6.5 inches in height, more than many common minivans on this list:
If you're in a minivan, it would be easy to get hung up.

Because it is lighter than air, airships and balloons are inflated with helium for lift. While hydrogen gas is approximately 7% more buoyant, helium has the advantage of being non-flammable (in addition to being fire retardant).
"Helium is a finite resource and is one of the only elements with escape velocity, meaning that once released into the atmosphere, it escapes into space."
This was fun to think about, though!

Posted on 09/09/2013 5:59:00 AM PDT by opentalkEdited on 09/09/2013 6:03:42 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
LONGVIEW, Wash. -- The city council of Woodland, Wash., has decided to stop fluoridating the city's water.
The council voted 6-1 Monday night to remove the additive from the water supply.
Even if fluoridation prevents tooth decay, councilman John Burke said the city shouldn't make a medical decision for citizens without their consent.
(Excerpt) Read more at nwcn.com ...
I'm sure liberal Portland drinks bottled spring water.
this is probably mainly a left thing there...but it traditionally been a right thing too.
I do not want additives to my water...cept trace chlorine to kill any bacteria.....
They then analyzed possible associations with IQ measures in more than 8,000 children of school age;all but one study suggested that high fluoride content in water may negatively affect cognitive development.
The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45,which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.*
"...I do not want additives to my water except for trace chlorine to kill any bacteria..."
Exactly right, agree 100%
What else have the FDA and CDC been wrong about that's cost our health?
Payola, it's not just for third world countries anymore.
People will call you crazy for suggesting that there are people out there that would like nothing more than to kill as many Americans as possible any way possible. The thing is though, such people not only walk amongst us, they work in fields that give them access to things like our food, medicine, and water supply. Imagine if Major/Doctor Hassan had been in charge of water purification instead of an Army psychiatrist? I have an old friend who works in water purification for a large city. Security there is no freaking joke. Hassan demonstrates beyond any doubt that our enemy holds high positions within our infrastructure. what did he say when he started shooting? Allahu Akbar. And what did the sheep say when the shepherd led them to the slaughter house? Nothing.
We drink and cook with water directly from our Berkey. I've toyed with the idea of getting the fluoride filter as well, and I think I'll order one when we replace the black filters.
The CDC promotes gun control; therefore, everything else they promote very well could be BS as well.
The fluoride they add isn't even pharmaceutical grade. It's industrial grade. Who knows what ELSE is in any one particular batch...
Dentistry now has methods of taking advantage of fluoride that are 100X more effective than just pumping it into the water supply. Give it to whomever needs it, not 50 million old folks with dentures.
Fluoridated water is just one more welfare benefit. We won't be allowed to stop paying for it since it would hurt the poor and minorities, who never take their kids to the dentist.
Recent evidence suggests that mixing powdered or liquid infant formula concentrate with fluoridated water on a regular basis may increase the chance of a child developing the faint, white markings of very mild or mild enamel fluorosis.
You can use fluoridated water for preparing infant formula. However, if your child is exclusively consuming infant formula reconstituted with fluoridated water, there may be an increased chance for mild dental fluorosis. To lessen this chance, parents can use low-fluoride bottled water some of the time to mix infant formula; these bottled waters are labeled as de-ionized, purified, demineralized, or distilled.
- Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and it's also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972.
- Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).
- USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950's that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to "Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient."
- The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany's Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph Borkin.)
- 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health risks, however 10% of Britons drink it and the UK government is trying to fast track the fluoridation of the entire country's water supply.
- In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject's will and therefore violated fundamental human rights.
- In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water.
Unfortunately not enough of us have yelled loud enough in our cities and towns to get it removed. It's most definitely NOT good for you and should ALL be removed from drinking water all over the country but hey Big Pharma's gotta make a living off of sick folks ya know?
Fluoridation should not be a blanket "yes or no" thing, for several reasons.
1) Many places already have plenty of fluoride in the water, so adding more is effectively overdosing people with it.
2) Fluoride, along with chlorine and bromide, are increasingly common in our diets and water, and tend to block the bodies ability to absorb iodine.
3) Fluoride is best applied directly to the teeth in toothpaste, not swallowed, and it is now ubiquitous in toothpastes. In the rest of the body it is unimportant at best, and can even be somewhat toxic.
Calgary stops adding fluoride to water
This is great Im pleased to see Windsor join the ranks of 67 per cent of Canada and 94 per cent of the world, said Kimberly DeYong of Fluoride Free Windsor. Her group,formed in 2011,lobbied to have Windsor join the growing list of cities and towns turning away from a practice once described as one of the top public health achievements of the last century.

Saving money should also be a reason not to add it, I would rather have lower water/property taxes because they don;t have to add this poison to my water.
I haven't drunk unfiltered tap water since I was a kid. The chi water tasted like algae for years.
I don't know how to feel about fluoride in water, I'm not sure it has much effect, positive or negative.
The water here is so expensive (MWRA - thanks, Mike Dukakis), but it is super clean (I've personally analyzed it myself). I don't bother filtering.
The water in Central MA was/is pretty good too. Merrimack Valley, OTOH - GARBAGE.
campaignpete's new screen mane: baseballmauro-ct
When I went to my cousin's wedding in Wisconsin I stayed at a hotel. I was washing my hands and the soap would not come off. Very annoying.
I was told this was because the water was soft, devoid of minerals.
"I was told this was because the water was soft, devoid of minerals."
Very possible.
Or it could just be that you were in WI and they knew you're a Bears fan?
What do you think, Mauro?
I overheard some guy I didn't know who also drove up from Illinois talking about how some cop pulled him over, he blamed it on his Bears decal.
This cousin grew up there after his parents moved, someone once gave him a Packer jersey for his birthday. And his ex-GF wouldn't put out when the Packers were playing bad. It's like a religion up there.
WOW!!! That's insane!
OTOH, I wouldn't go to Yankees Stadium in full Red Sox regalia - it's asking for trouble.
"Its like a religion up there."
Another state I'll skip.

Johnson & Johnson vs. Goldman & Goldman: Street Whispers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In Goldman Sachs' (GS) Tuesday downgrade of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) to 'Sell,' Wall Street watchers might want to chalk up a win for reform... and bankers' love of advisory fees.
The Goldman research arm's bearish outlook on J&J -- predicated on a misguided M&A strategy -- comes months after Goldman's investment bankers helped seal the healthcare giant's largest-ever acquisition.
On the face of it, there's nothing surprising about Goldman's downgrade of J&J. After all, the company has significantly underperformed the Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceuticals Index ( DJUSPR) in the past year and it faces an onslaught of competition from the likes of Pfizer(PFE) , Abbot Laboratories (ABT) , Covidien(COV) and Baxter International (BAX) , who are in the process of spinning off non-pharma businesses, giving investors a choice of pure-play drug makers that may be industry aggressors in coming quarters.
The real surprise is how arguments floated by Goldman's research analysts appear to undercut the bank's front and center role as an adviser to J&J on its $19.7 billion acquisition of medical device maker Synthes, the largest deal in the company's 126-year history. The downgrade is especially noteworthy given that Goldman's advisory work for J&J was also likely considered to be a capstone 2012 success in a relatively weak year for dealmakers.
In April 2011, Goldman was the sole advisor to the Synthes acquisition, initially a cash and stock deal that was forecast by management to be dilutive to J&J's earnings per share. However, in June of this year, Goldman and JPMorgan(JPM) structured a complicated share swap where J&J could effectively use cash abroad instead of a secondary stock offering in the U.S. to finance the merger, magically turning what was a dilutive acquisition into an EPS accretive M&A overnight.
In fact, the deal, which exploited a loophole on how the Internal Revenue Service taxes foreign earnings, propelled the IRS to plug the hole shortly thereafter, according to a July 23 interview with tax expert Robert Willens. Talk about bankers adding value.
Give credit to Goldman for uncovering financial maneuvers to turn the Synthes acquisition from a 5 cent EPS drag on J&J's forecast 2013 earnings to a 15 cent benefit.
Other parts of the bank didn't seem to take notice, even if the swap radically changed perceptions on the deal, giving Jefferies and JPMorgan analysts reason to upgrade their outlook on J&J's shares.
In late May, as J&J was seeking European Commission antitrust approvals for its Synthes acquisition, Goldman Sachs research analyst Jami Rubin argued that the company's M&A ambition and its doubling down on a conglomerate corporate structure would backfire relative to the competition.
On Tuesday, Rubin underscored the argument, downgrading J&J to a 'Sell,' citing the company's M&A strategy and competitive threats to its drugs unit. "

Something tells me a german guy is not a good choice for the next pope. Not many people like german people that much, except germans.

As a praticing Catholic I will pray he does God's will on earth.
Posted 19 April 2005 - 05:51 PM
He's Pope John Paul the second the second... if that makes sense. He is a clone and will continue to do the same job as the last pontiff, it's what they wanted. He will be Benedict the sixteenth (XVI), it symbolised tradition.
I changed my name, but I dont remember what it was... if anyone remembers please let me know.
Posted 19 April 2005 - 08:02 PM
i heard this guy was a german soldier during world war II, i'm agnostic and this doesnt affect me much, but i am curious about how you loyal catholics feel about that? I also know that religion tells you to honor and obey him one way or the other and forgiveness and all that, and you also have no control over it anyway... so whats really good?

so sam took over the garden and has now left it.
It has lost its eco system, lost loads of plants, is a blank space of mud with a bit of grass seed growing. Plants the forest bought are gone. About 3 beds of plants. Gone. No more horseradish, no japenese climbing maple.....
I think we need to protect it when it gets reborn.
I will begin to sort rubbish out, salvage plants....try not to get too sad.
lookin at older posts "ooh the garden" and so on...makes me remember what was happening in/out there.
Well it will be again, dammit.
I will run a gardening workshop, will clarify at next action group meeting.
Big sigh.

About the Author: Rashad Hussain serves as U.S. Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
This past week, during my trip to India, I met Mr. Anand Kumar and hundreds of students, graduates, and teachers from Super 30, an NGO in Patna, Bihar that helps exceptional students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds gain admission into the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). Mr. Kumar, from a disadvantaged background himself, seeks to empower his students by promoting education as a means to overcome obstacles. I was incredibly impressed to hear that for the last three years, all of Mr. Kumar's students have passed the entrance exams for IIT.
When I arrived at Super 30, I found an enthusiastic gathering of hundreds of teachers, volunteers, and students newly admitted to IIT filling the room with an indescribable energy. We discussed the importance of broadening and deepening cooperative efforts to expand access to education in India. Hearing the stories of the students was inspiring. Many of Super 30's students came from families of brick layers and rickshaw operators and never imagined they would one day have a chance to attend the IIT. Not surprisingly, when asked about their future goals, many students said they want to help others with similar backgrounds access advanced education.
I was also moved by the efforts of volunteers who work tirelessly to help the students at Super 30, and of teachers who contribute the wages they earn as private tutors to finance the institution. I came to Patna, Bihar to explore models of success for expanding educational opportunities around the world, and I certainly found one such model with Super 30.
President Obama has continually stressed the importance of education. That's why the United States has expanded exchange programs -- so that U.S. students can study in other countries and so we can welcome talented foreign students to our schools and universities. And that's why we will continue to develop and expand partnerships in education all over the world.
Faraz J. in Virginia writes:
There is something fundamentally wrong with this picture. We want to spend our tax payers money and resources for India? Why don't we ship our teachers along with our jobs? This so sad to see our own government has more vested interest in Indian education than our own. If the exchange program is free then who if flipping the bill for Indian students in US? is that our tax money or is that "paid for by Indian government"?
O.C. in the U.S.A. writes:
Great, now if only the Indian government could multiply this concept a bizillion times to include every Indian. This should have been achieved over a hundred years ago. As intelligent as Indians are there is absolutely no excuse for an inadequate educational system.
Ashim K.C. in India writes:
There are bright spots like Super 30 spread inmost parts of India. Kota in Rajasthan is another place where coaching for entrance tests into elite educational institute is thriving. There are many others. But the problem is that most of these coaching institutes have a very definite commercial orientation and are run as merely super profit business. While success of these coaching institutes and other private schools and colleges signify Indian love for education, and it must be so all over the developing world, one must say that as much is not being done as it is possible to take advantage of this positive popular trait among people. One would, therefore, emphasise the need for a truly global initiative for education at all levels, which should exceed the scale and intensity of involvement of world leaders like world leaders including certainly President Obama, which they show in free trade and environment summits. One would expect President Obama to come India with a package of collaboration for well regulated quality education from primary to the highest level by involving mass media more specifically electronic mass media to make possible standardisation of education. His ensuing visit itenary and theme should be specially designed for this purpose.
Ashim K.C. in India writes:
I essentially agree with Faraz J's comment that US should not spend money of it's tax payers to spread education in developing countries like India. But the idea of US sending it's teachers is not quite for many reasons which include availability of a huge army of quality teachers in India itself. Instead US mass media companies could collaborate with organizations like IGNOU, Open Schools to run paid satellite channels to beam into each household high quality and standardized class wise subject wise ideally interactive teaching programs in English, which is extremely popular in India. Such collaborations could also supplement their revenue through advertisements. These programs should be accessible anytime anywhere. Given the popularity of education among parents and their willingness to spend on their Children among all section of society, one's hunch is the subscription would be huge and consequently advertisement revenue too would be attractive. Needless to say curriculum has to be in tune with all the good aspect of EXISTING LEARNING AND TEACHING PROCESS largely.which has served us well and not American curriculum.
Basic underlying business thought underlying this proposal is use IT and mass electronic communication media for mass producing mass selling education and give customers the advantage of costs due to scale. This is good for education and also for entire gamut of industries and services in areas of health care, food processing, housing and so on.
Such orientation of Indo-US cooperation shall help both USA and India. One wonders why USBIC does not work as enthusiastically as they should. Only thing is that US should not sell their outdated technologies and systems nor follow skimming pricing policies for their new technology based offering if Indian conditions enable absorption of technology.
Such commercially feasible cooperation can only be sustainable because they only have the potential of empowering Indians at grass root level and create demand for goods and services. Charity is a very poor idea in fact coming from USA, it can be suspected because cold war mindset still persists and they have good audience still.
Kanchan S. in India writes:
Its great to know that you visited one of our most amazing educational centre viz super 30. It shows that distance between dreams and goals can be reduced if you really want to. Hats off to Anand Kumar the Mentor of super 30. I would definitely want to know if any such amazing centre is there in US? If yes, I would like to visit it some day.
Sagar J. in North Carolina writes:
I have known Shri Anand Kumar for nearly two years. He has visited with us twice in the little village, Dadawas in Haryana, where my wife and I spend most of our time working with a charitable school; and I have also visited with him and lived in his house and met his very caring family and saw his program first hand.
By any standard, he is an extra-ordinary person. He brings hope to the country in the grip of the Cancer of Corruption, fraud and Meism.His is a genuine anti-poverty program.
He sets an example of selfless dedication to helping poor to help themselves; and brings a high level of creativity and competence to this mission.
Let us not ask him to do more. He is alredy committed to increase the intake in Super-30 from 30 to 60 or even 90 per year.How much more can he do by himself. Let us put our shoulders to the wagon he and his family have been pulling alone. He has a dream; let us help him fulfill this dream.
Ram R. in California writes:
Recent TIME cover page (September 20, 2010): "What Makes a School Great," contained several articles of world-wide importance including, "It all Starts with the Teachers" by Amanda Ripley and "Why it's Hard to Find Good Ones," by John Cloud. Even Socrates became a teacher after holding other jobs. However, Mr. Anandkumar's passion and inspiration for teaching comes first and from the heart. Along the way, he created an enduring legacy for the Super 30 and carved an unique place in history. For many poor students, who grew up in a family of stretched (or no) means, the Super 30 offers a life altering journey. What Mr. Anandkumar accomplished can not be duplicated even by great institutions. His holistic aspirations do not belong to Patna, Bihar or India but to the world. It is fitting that Obama's Special Envoy Mr. Rashad Hussain could visit him and the Super 30. I will not be surprised if he gets an audience with President Obama (when he visits India). In my opinion, Mr. Anandkumar is as much a Creation as the Creator Himself. God bless him and his dedicated family.
Dr. Piyush K. in India writes:
Dear sir
very recently i visited Patna and i have seen work done by Mr Anand kumar in field of Education and let me tell you honestly that i am impressed ,i feel that people like Him can make India a Knowledgeable society and world a better place to LIVE IN.
As a director of a leading publishing company i wish i could do a book on Mr Anand Kumar to highlight his work to inspire thousands and thousands of youngsters who aim to be in IIT.
Congrats !! Mr Anand and every member at Super30.Keep going and thanks to White House for taking pains in bringing this kohinoor to light.
Best wishes

A-NeibsI am contemplating making mozz and was actually researching it last night. Seems as though most people around the forum who have attempted it have decided that curds are the way to go. Now that you have done both ways, which will you continue to do as your "go to" method. It seems that the milk is a major concern when making mozz, and very few people are able to get the raw milk that you were able to get. Do you feel that the "raw" milk is the deal maker? Was it cost effective to buy raw milk vs. buying curds? Inquirering minds want to know!

Just had blood tests done and I am no longer deficient in Vitamin D thanks to this product! I give 4 stars rather than 5 because the tablets are very small and sometimes there are a few 'bits' in the bottle. Usually not a lot, just some. The main thing is it works. For whatever reason my body is not absorbing vitamins from my digestive tract & this product works!

The Post Growth Institute, an international group that explores sustainable paths to global prosperity, has a new website that upends popular definitions of wealth and enrichment.
Inspired by Forbes magazine's annual Rich List, Post Growth's (En)Rich List questions the media's infatuation with monetary wealth, while celebrating 100 intellectuals, economists, scientists and others who have devoted their lives to advancing social equity and ecological sustainability.
E.F. Schumacher headed the Top 100 list, which also included Evo Morales, Rachel Carson, Mahatma Gandhi, and Henry David Thoreau. Global Footprint Network President Mathis Wackernagel was Number 19 on the list; Susan Burns, Vice President of Global Footprint Network, was included among honorable mentions.
"There are additional ways 'richness' can play out, be measured and be celebrated beyond how much material or monetary wealth an individual possesses," said Dr. Donnie Maclurcan, Co-Director of the Post Growth Institute. "The people on this list represent wealth that cannot be defined by a dollar value."
Know anyone you think should have been—but wasn't—counted among the Top 100? Go to the site and register. Post Growth says it hopes to turn over future nomination processes and voting to the public.
