So I am getting into more teas and I know its simple but it be nice to see a thermometer and scale on Adagio's. For starters like me, eyeballing is enough but it be great if they put those products on.
To go along with that they could have a 'Begginer Tea' Package like they have with the ingenuiTEA. But basically with the thermometer, scale, IngenuiTea, the book and tea samplers. Maybe other people on the forum can suggest the tea that goes with it. That way we have a good selection of 4 or 6 teas that would cover all main types of tea. Aka a Black, Oolong, Green, and White (and Pu and Herbal). Along with these we would put a small paper giving instructions on amount (grams), amount/temperature of water, and time of brewing for each of the teas.
I know this wouldn't be the nice 20 dollar offer they have now but its a nice 'gateway' service that I would have loved to get when I started. Something people here could point new people to as a great starting package.

text: What is with all this talk of rasengan being a wind technique? It is made of pure chakra. We have no evidence that A's armor can take a rasengan and we have no evidence that it cant. However your point of his armor electrocuting people is BS as we have never seen it happen and people have touched him without getting shocked.

Go to SnowBall, and support Big Tupper
Do you love Big Tupper Ski Area and want it to thrive? Do you want to be where there's good fellowship, food, drink, live entertainment and a festive atmosphere? Where people put on their best clothes and dance?
If so, we strongly recommend you attend the SnowBall gala Saturday night at the Big Tupper ski lodge in Tupper Lake, starting at 8 p.m.
Host organization ARISE, which is responsible for reopening the beloved ski center, calls SnowBall "the winter season's greatest gathering in the Adirondacks" where people will be filled with "an overwhelming sense of community spirit and pride.
"The main lodge has been decorated beyond imagination with large Christmas trees, lights, and other holiday decorations," ARISE says. "It is an event that will be talked about for an entire year."
That sounds about right to us.
The turnout of Tupper Lakers is bound to be strong, and it's a great place to see your neighbors. If you're not from Tupper, it's a great place to meet friendly folks, have a grand time and support Big Tupper.
That last part is what makes this more newsworthy than just a big party. Your $50 ticket charge goes to help run this gem of a ski area in the heart of the Adirondacks. It's mostly fueled by local volunteers, but it needs more than that. The SnowBall is a major and much-needed fundraiser.
You can buy your SnowBall tickets at the door of the event or at skibigtupper.org/snowball.
An even better way to support Big Tupper is to ski Big Tupper. A day pass costs just $25 – a great deal compared to almost any other ski center, especially one with Big Tupper's range of trails – and a 10-day Powder Pass costs just $200. The SnowBall will be a great place to buy ski passes, but you can also buy them at skibigtupper.org. They make superb Christmas gifts.
Both at the SnowBall and on the slopes of Big Tupper, having a good time is almost guaranteed.

According to the LA Times, Board Games are making a comeback. At Cogswell College you would never know there had been a decline. Students play games during downtime between classes, argue the merits of one strategy or game over another, are played right alongside video games during game night events and are a mainstay teaching tool.
Every year for more than a decade Cogswell faculty, Steve Librande, has used the principles behind board game design to give students the tools they need to create everything from card games to video games in his Game Design I class. Creating board games not only gives students a strong foundation in the development thought process for any game but also teach valuable life lessons about perseverance, risk-taking and belief in your abilities.
Cogswell students – Zachary Irwin, Andrew Traxler and Aaron Weingarten – have all taken his class and sat down to share their experiences and the lasting impact the class has had on each of them. In fact, they felt the class was so valuable that they all still had their notes from the class and referred to them often.
"I pull out my notes from Steve's class every time I start a new project," said Irwin a Game and Entrepreneurship major.
"The class provided a lot of good basic information that I continue to use no matter what type of game I am making," added Weingarten a Digital Arts Engineering major.
The students first learn about the 8 kinds of fun that games satisfy. Traxler, a Game and Entrepreneurship major, pulled up his class notes on his computer and read them off: Sensation (involves the senses), Fantasy (make-believe), Narrative (creates a story), Challenge (players face obstacles), Fellowship (played for social value), Discovery (exploring the unknown), Expression (opportunity to state your views) and Submission (a mindless pastime).
Each class delved more deeply into one of the concepts. They were given a new game using one of the concepts and then had to figure out what to do with it – maybe make new rules, set a new objective or decide if it's more fun as a game of luck or strategy. Once they'd experimented for about 40 minutes, then the class talked about what worked and what didn't and what they might try next time.
"Lots of times the game we were given was broken and didn't achieve its goal," said Weingarten, "and we had to figure out why it didn't work and what we needed to do to fix it."
After students feel more comfortable with the game-play concepts, they begin tackling issues like replay value – what makes players want to return to a game they have played once; why do people purchase the things they do and the impact that box art has on their decisions and what makes a game fun.
"One of the most important lessons we learn during the class is iteration and prototyping," said Weingarten. "Whether the game is 2D or 3D, you need to see what it looks and how it might work."
"For me," said Irwin, "it was the idea that anyone can be a game designer as long as they are willing to iterate and not give up on their idea."
"I learned that these principles are not just for designing games but are part of a bigger picture – design is a part of all aspects of our lives," said Traxler. "It's understanding what you, and other people, want in whatever is being designed for them."

Conservation Status

Zalophus californianus are well protected in most areas. Occasionally, they are trapped with a permit for display in zoos, aquariums, and circuses (Mate, 1979). In Mexico, a few California sea lions are trapped each year, while in the United States they are fully protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Occasionally California sea lions pose a problem for fishermen by stealing fish from commercial fishermen netting. A significant number of California sea lions have been killed as a result of getting tangled in discarded fishing gear. (Riedman, 1990). From 1983 to 1984, Zalophus californianus experienced a decline of 60 percent in pup production from previous years. Also during this time food resources declined, which led to inhibited growth and increased mortality. During this time mothers left their pups earlier in search of food, which truncated the lactation period, thus reducing the amount of nutrients a pup received and making it more susceptible to death.

According to IUCN, the following subspecies are recognized:

Zalophus californianus ssp. japonicus (extinct)

Zalophus californianus ssp. wollebaeki (vulnerable)

Zalophus californianus ssp. californianus (no special status).

IUCN Red List: Lower Risk - Least Concern

US Federal List: No special status

CITES: No special status


text: Beginning in the 1970s with the oil embargo, utilities began looking for ways to increase the efficiency of the power distribution system, to reduce peak demand, and to conserve energy. During this period, several utilities began to test the concept of lowering the voltage to lower the demand and energy consumption on the power delivery system. As climate change and global warming became serious issues in the early 2000s, utilities began looking at Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) programs once again as a way to conserve energy and avoid emissions. Old became new as CVR programs began to rise in popularity. With 20 years of technology improvements and communications having been established to distribution equipment, the focus of minimizing demand and energy consumption on the system shifted to controlling both the voltage and volt ampere reactive (VAR) levels in near real time via Volt-VAR Optimization (VVO) programs. In response, the Smart Grid Demonstration Project chose CVR and VVO as one of its Strategic Topics for 2011.

Parking pass pilot program unveiled in downtown Spokane
SPOKANE, Wash. - For some downtown Spokane residents, parking just got a whole lot easier.
The city recently started a three month pilot parking program at eight downtown apartment buildings. Five complexes are run by Wells and Company and the other three from the Spokane Housing Authority.
"It's always a mad scramble to make sure I have enough change because I never think it through," Karen Rogers, who lives downtown, said.
But for downtown residents like Rogers, the city is hoping to ease the troubles of downtown parking.Downtown parking passes
"This is just another example of us responding to questions and suggestions from citizens," Jan Quintrall with the City of Spokane said.
Quintrall received several calls from downtown apartment complexes asking for help to deal with the high cost of parking.
"So we thought okay, let's give this a try. It's a pilot program and it just kicked off November 1st, it's 8 apartment buildings in west downtown," Quintrall said.
You can buy the parking pass for just $25 dollars a month through your landlord. The pass allows you to park in any 10-hour parking meter, no matter what time of day it is.
"The people at the apartment complexes in downtown said wow we have been talking about this for 15 years," Quintrall said.
Rogers thinks she'll get a parking pass now. With the snowy winter months on the way, Karen's glad she won't have to worry about getting a pesky parking ticket.
"If you have a decal on your window, you just don't have to worry about it and then if you forget and don't have change or sleep in on Saturday mornings, you are covered. It just seems like a good value," Rogers said.

Here's how RW members rated this race (67 votes).
In short: Wet, challenging, wet, fun ... did I mention WET?!In full: Really enjoyable race again, but no accurate idea of my time - couldn't see an actual start line, and technical problems means I've no official time either. Once again the km markers were all over the place - my fastest was 2:18! I'm not that good! Huge thanks to all the marshalls standing out in that weather. Date of review: May 24, 2007
In short: A good event but still spoilt by organisational weaknessesIn full: This event has so much potential: a varied route through woods, parkland, roads and villages, with some tough hills thrown in, and an enthusiastic entry despite the foul weather on the day. And yet - the start was again a mess, with no PA/tannoy to inform entrants where to line up, or when the race was started; again, no warnings about speed bumps or potholes in the hospital grounds; somewhat chaotic finish funnel, with some people wandering out of position before the marshals had noted them; and still no web results, almost 2 weeks after the event. So come on guys, with a bit more effort this event could be really good! Date of review: May 24, 2007
In short: Results are not on the Website and it's FridayIn full: Great run will definately do it again.Date of review: May 18, 2007
In short: wet but good fun, well organised in a relaxed runDate of review: May 15, 2007
In short: 2nd time in 4 years and enjoyed it just as muchIn full: Quite happy with my time considering the hills, recommend to anyone.Date of review: May 13, 2007
In short: A regular race and great every timeIn full: A local race for me and great value, great organisation, and this year great weather, the rain always helps.Well done to allDate of review: May 13, 2007
In short: Hills to make your eyes water & legs hurt!!!In full: Tipping down with rain throughout but at least the marshalls kept smiling...A lovely scenic course, although very pushy at the start, well worth running.This was my first Frenchay run but I will be back again next year. Nice mug for finishing too.Date of review: May 13, 2007
In short: Curse that hill!In full: A brilliant run. I'm already looking forward to next year & kicking Blackberry Hill booty! Blinking hill got me this year.Date of review: May 13, 2007
In short: This was my first ever attempt at a race and I thoroughly enjoyed itIn full: Lots of club runners, lovely weather and a very well marked course. Three killer hills though !Date of review: May 16, 2006
In short: Good fun...In full: Enjoyed race. Bit chaotic at start. Good marshalls round the course. km markings all over the place. Some big hills!Good for a charity training race, however, don't expect a pb. Worth doing as a good workout. No real big problems. Happy event :-)Date of review: May 9, 2006

2011 National Club Championship
Contact: Ashley Meunier, Communications Manager
(719) 866-4365, firstname.lastname@example.com
For Immediate Release
November 1, 2010
2011 National Club Championship
COLORADO SPRINGS, C.O.- USA Field Hockey is pleased to announce its first annual National Club Championship to be held in Richmond, Virginia, July 21-24, 2011. The Championship will take place at Sportsquest, a 250 acre campus located in Chesterfield County. SportsQuest hosts events for recreational enjoyment, youth development, and high performance athletes in 20 Olympic amateur sports. The National Club Championship will feature the top Clubs from across the United States as they vie for honors and bragging rights as the nation's top Club field hockey team.
Registration will open on February 1, 2011 and will close on March 1, 2011. During this inaugural year, registration will be based on a first come, first serve basis. Sixteen under-19 girls teams and sixteen under-17 girls teams will be selected into the Championship based on the time of their registration received. Each club is allowed only one team per age group. All Clubs and team members must be a member of USA Field Hockey in order to compete in this event.
USA Field Hockey is affiliated with nearly 250 Clubs in the country. The National Club Championship is an ideal opportunity for clubs to compete against each other at a highly competitive event.
"Our efforts within the National Office are to put into place a set of tools to help grow the game of field hockey at the regional level. The creation of a club national championship gives clubs a major reason for being. To strive for and win a national championship will carry much prestige for a club. The creation of a club championship helps in recruiting by growing interest in local areas through qualifiers as well as helps our elite national programs by having more athletes available to eventually rise to the top," said Steve Locke, Executive Director.
In future years, there will be regional qualifiers for Club teams to advance to the Championship. Regional qualifiers will identify the best Club teams in the country to compete at the National Championship for title of the number one Club field hockey team in the United States.
"It is imperative for the development of our sport that we host a National Club Championship and I am delighted to see we will be doing so in 2011. A National Club Championship will inevitably create a higher level of competition amongst club teams and will provide further training, outside of the school setting, for young athletes to advance their game," said Terry Walsh, Technical Director.
More information regarding the registration process for the National Club Championships will be posted on our website in early January 2011.
For inquiries regarding the National Club Championship, please contact Karen Collins, USA Field Hockey Director of Event Logistics, at email@example.com, or at (719) 866-4366. Additional information regarding USA Field Hockey can be found online by visiting www.usafieldhockey.com.

— By Cosmic Amanda (@quonky) |
Last night San Francisco's Juggathological community and the merely Juggalo-curious were treated to an advanced screening of Whoop Dreams at the Roxie. The film, still in production, documents five friends' foray into the annual Gathering of the Juggalos, which today was announced to be moving to Missouri in 2014.
As Uptown Almanac's Senior Juggalo Reporter, I could not be more fascinated by this subculture—built around a rap group made up of men in clown makeup flummoxed by magnetism. Judging by the speed at which the Kickstarter to make Whoop Dreams was funded, and the packed house at the sneak peek, I'm not alone. The Roxie made the event all the more festive by stocking the concession stand with Faygo:
What we got to see last night was more-or-less the final cut of the film, with a stand-in soundtrack to set the mood in place of an original score, which will be added before the film's official release.
Whoop Dreams promises "sex, drugs, clowns, boobies, dildos, and people hurting themselves for the sake of their Juggalo family," and for the most part, the film delivered. With what the trailer teased, I was fully expecting a feature-length shitshow, but what we got was surprisingly tame (even with the extreme nipple torture).
Whoop Dreams may just be the most polite movie about Juggalos you'll ever see.
How did this happen? Well, as five relatively clean-cut bros in a sea of tatted ninjas and ninjettes, their strength in numbers may have kept them from assimilating into The Family. Coupled with the great care they all took not to mock Juggalo culture, there's a noticable distance to the film. It's this neutral stance that is Whoop Dreams' only weakness. Metaphorically speaking, the guys merely dipped their toes in Hepatitis Lake. During the Q & A, it was also revealed that the guys captured less footage then they'd hoped—only 8 hours in 3 days (they got their fill of family and bounced a day early). And they were only able to allude to a lot of the sex and drugs they witnessed due to their own diligence in getting signed release forms from their subjects.
Despite its lack of teeth, I still really enjoyed Whoop Dreams. Honestly, I love Juggalo culture so much that I was bound to be satisfied by any glimpse into the Gathering. No doubt the rest of the audience last night felt the same. There were plenty of big laughs during the screening and we basically had to be kicked out of the Roxie because the Q&A ran over its allotted time but nobody wanted to budge. And with the guys collecting feedback forms in earnest, there will likely be a few tweaks made before the final version of Whoop Dreams is unleashed on the masses.
My feedback? I think the movie could be improved by including postmortem interviews with each of the guys describing their experiences documenting the crazy shit they saw. These could then be incorporated as voice over to boost some scenes that need additional explanation. (For example: a slow-motion montage of ladies oil wrestling makes a lot more sense when you know that the wrestlers were not the ladies originally hired for the event, but willing Juggalettes who stepped in when the professionals went on strike.) I know they're planning on creating bonus commentary for the DVD—so why not put the best soundbites in the feature as well?
If they had it to do over again (which the guys emphatically stated they have no interest in), they'd also be better off sending only Matt Lieb and Laremy Legel, who seemed the most down with the clown…or at least into the adventure of it all.
How Whoop Dreams stacks up in the cannon of Juggathological film remains to be seen, but for right now I give it two enthusiastic Whoops. Until I see the final cut, I'm leaving my titties in my shirt.

Blogging From A to Z - 2014
I did it. I signed up for Blogging From A to Z April Challenge for 2014. I will be posting tips and tricks for writers. The April schedule is below.
This challenge was a lot of fun (if sometimes stressful) last year when I wrote about Arizona and its history. This year I'm doing something that I think many will find helpful. Tips for writers of memoir, genealogists and family history writers and writers in general.
So I hope you will join me this Tuesday for the beginning of this fun-filled month. If you are interested in joining in with your own blog or visiting others on the list you can find all that information here. Last year I made new friends and learned a great deal from other Bloggers.
Let's get Writing . . .

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 11, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball teams of Matt Fuerbringer/Nick Lucena and Jake Gibb/Sean Rosenthal advanced to the second round of elimination on Friday at the Beijing Grand Slam, part of the 2012 FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH World Tour.
The U.S. women's beach team of Jen Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.), seeded fifth, defeated compatriots and No. 4 seeds Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (San Jose, Calif.), 24-22, 24-22 in 45 minutes in the second round. May-Treanor and Walsh finished tied for ninth.
However Kessy and Ross fell to Netherlands' sixth-ranked Sanne Keizer and Marleen Van Iersel in the third round, 21-13, 13-21, 15-10 in 43 minutes. Kessy and Ross finished tied for fifth.
The No. 7-seeded men's team of Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) finished pool play 3-0 with a victory Friday over China's No. 10-seeded Linyin Xu and Penggen Wu, 26-28, 23-21, 15-12 in 1 hour, 7 minutes.
They moved on to the second round where they will face Brazil's sixth-seeded Pedro Salgado and Marcio Araujo on Saturday.
Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), ranked 11th, also went 3-0 in pool play, defeating Salgado and Araujo, 14-21, 20-22 in 41 minutes. They advanced to the second round where they will face Germany's Sebastian Dollinger and Stefan Windscheif on Saturday.
Fuerbringer and Lucena are battling with Gibb Rosenthal for the second men's spot on the U.S. Olympic beach volleyball team.
The top-ranked U.S. men's team of Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) went 2-1 in pool play, defeating Germany's 16th seeds Eric Koreng and David Klemperer on Friday in their final pool play match. Trailing 17-11 in the second set, the Americans ran off six points in a row to level it at 17-all and went on to seal the victory in 45 minutes.
"We expected a third set all the way when we were down 17-11," said Dalhausser. "We made a couple of plays, they made a couple of mistakes and all of a sudden it's 17-all. I guess momentum changes fast in this game of beach volleyball. We knew we were out of the pool, second or third; we had no pressure. This afternoon is when the tournament really starts."
However, it turned out to be the end of their journey as they lost to Italy's 14th seeds Nicolai Paolo and Daniele Lupo, 21-16, 23-21 in the first-round elimination match Friday afternoon.

Apache Tomcat is a Web container that allows to serve Java Servlets (such as Solr full-text search server) and JSP (Java Server Pages) Web applications. More information can be found on Tomcat official site.
In this tutorial you will learn how to install Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 11.10. To install Tomcat type the following command in the terminal.
sudo apt-get install tomcat7
This will install Tomcat on port 8080 (default) and autostart it (also it will be set to autostart on system reboot). To see if installation went successfully, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your browser. You should see a default page which displays "It works!".
To have Apache Solr work with Tomcat, you do not need to configure anything. Default settings will work out of the box. If necessary, you can refer to Ubuntu Documentation for Tomcat.
If you need to stop or start Tomcat, run the following respectively:
~$ sudo service tomcat7 stop ~$ sudo service tomcat7 start

Throughout 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton continuously emphasized the importance of partnering and cross-sectoral collaboration as a means to improve diplomacy and development outcomes around the world. At the Global Partnership Initiative, we have worked hard to achieve the Secretary's vision around partnerships by breaking down barriers to collaboration within and across the Department and with the private sector and civil society organizations. To say it's been a tremendously successful year for partnerships would be an understatement.
In 2012, we saw each of our four flagship partnerships grow and flourish beyond expectations and the focus on building partnerships across the Department grow. Through our four major initiatives -- the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, Partners for a New Beginning, the International diaspora Engagement Alliance, and the Accelerating Market-Driven Partnerships -- we've worked with over 1,100 organizations and leveraged more than $650 million in public and private resources to achieve U.S. foreign policy objectives around the globe. I invite you to check out our recently launched infographic which outlines the impact of our partnership achievements around the world.
As we kick-off a new year, and I reflect on our mutual accomplishments, we'll be taking a closer look at the impact of these four initiatives, so stay tuned to the blog next week as we discuss these partnerships. I am sure that you will be as impressed as I was by the breadth and depth of our efforts, and energized by the possibilities that lay ahead for 2013 and beyond.
Over the coming days, I look forward to hearing from you. Your feedback is invaluable, and we invite you to share your thoughts -- what opportunities do you see for public-private partnerships this year? What issues would be best served by a public-private response?

Colin Carrie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the member on reading her very well-crafted speech this afternoon but Canadians want to know where the Liberals stand on gas prices, which is why the motion was brought forward today.
We need to look at the Liberal record. On October 13, 2006, a Liberal from Toronto Rosedale, a former NDP premier and a former leadership candidate for the Liberals, said:
Consistently high fuel costs is the only way to keep pressure on the auto industry to be more innovative and fuel-efficient.
The environment minister at that time and now the leader of the Liberal Party said that high gas prices were actually good for Canada in the medium and long term.
Canadians want the Liberals to come clean. They are supporting Bill C-288, a bill that leading Canadian economists have said will raise the price of gas to $1.60 to $2 per litre. If the Liberals had their way, today Canadians would be paying $1.60 to $2 per litre.
I am asking the member today to come clean. Does she support her leader and the former leadership candidate? Does she want higher gasoline prices for all Canadians, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, the real issue is trying to get some amendments to the Competition Act. Some of those went through the industry committee but, unfortunately, were lost at committee. However, getting some amendments to the Competition Act would give it more meat in its ability to deal with issues around the refineries and ensure they are competitive.
I would remind members that gas has gone up 25¢ under the present government's watch and I have not heard the government say that it is interested or concerned at all with helping seniors and other people on fixed incomes cope with the high cost of gas this coming winter.

Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, we just heard the hon. member say that gas has gone up 25¢ a litre under our watch. We know that is fundamentally not true. In fact, gas prices since Hurricane Katrina have been hovering in and around $1 a litre and, in fact, have gone down significantly since that date and the member knows it.
The member was asked a specific question but she did not answer it. It has been documented that Bill C-288 would drive the price of gasoline up to as much as $2 a litre. Does the member support Canadians paying as much as $2 a litre for gasoline because that is what her leader would have Canadians paying for gas?

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, what I would like to see us all do in the House is work toward finding a way to resolve this issue. My colleague from Pickering—Scarborough East has worked on this issue for 10 years. It is an important issue for all of us. Frankly, we should not be having this as a partisan debate. The Bloc introduced the motion and it is a good motion to get a discussion on the table.
I would like to know what the government's plan is to deal with the increasing prices. This is a question of what the government will do, not what the rest of us will do. I am more than happy to work in a non-partisan manner on an issue that is of critical importance to all Canadians.

Dan McTeague Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has cited a number of important points. It is interesting to hear some of the comments coming from the Conservative benches and, indeed, other members of Parliament who spend a considerable amount of time picking my brain to get my perspective on this industry. They know full well that we are on the right track in amending the Competition Act and they know full well that the price will continue to go up no matter what happens as long as they consistently take the position that there is nothing wrong with the Competition Act.
Could the hon. member tell us what impact that has had for her seniors in the riding and what that will mean for them this coming winter? How will they manage to make ends meet? Does the member know why the government will not act?

Mr. Speaker, again I would ask for all of us to work together to find a solution to this problem. It does not matter if we live in Toronto, in Vancouver or in rural parts of the country, everyone will pay a much higher price. We need to get this issue under control. I would again ask that the government show us exactly what it is prepared to do to resolve this issue.

Maurice Vellacott Saskatoon—Wanuskewin, SK
Mr. Speaker, Friday, May 4 was a great day for Canada. The House of Commons passed important legislation that will protect potential victims of sexual assault by increasing the age at which youths can consent to sexual activity. This will better protect them against sexual exploitation by adult predators.
The Conservative government provided the leadership necessary to pass this legislation after many years of stalling by previous governments.
As adopted by the House of Commons, the age of protection legislation proposes to raise the age at which youth can consent to sexual activity from 14 years of age to 16.
This measure, which is supported by grieving parents and police forces, provides much needed protection for children victimized by sexual predators. We are giving our police officers a tool they need to combat this victimization of teenagers.
The age of protection bill marks an important step forward in strengthening our child protection laws and brings Canada's age of consent into conformity with that of many other like-minded countries.
We urge the Senate to give speedy passage to Bill C-22.
Canadian Human Rights Museum

Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, Manitobans recently have been celebrating the commitment to the opening of the Canadian Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg. This museum will be a place for Canadians to share their stories and to feature human rights challenges of the past and the present.
It will feature exhibits that focus on the inequities suffered by Canada's first nations peoples, the horror of the Holocaust, women's struggles for equality, francophone rights, the Japanese internment, and the genocides of the 20th and 21st centuries, to name a few.
The dream of the late Israel Asper, the museum came about because of seven years of hard work by Manitobans from all levels of government, all political parties and all walks of life.
Development and capital funds were committed by the previous Liberal government and culminated in the announcement of operating funds in the past weeks.
Members know that human rights are not a selective exercise. In promoting the museum, we must remember that human rights are inclusive and should not be undermined at home or abroad. This museum will be an icon to the protection of human rights and--

Aerospace Industry
Statements By Members

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Industry has been using various Quebec weeklies to defend the indefensible.
The Conservative minister is trying to convince Quebeckers that he is depriving them of millions of dollars in economic spinoffs for their own good and that he wants to strengthen Quebec's aerospace industry by not supporting it.
The truth is that he is taking over $800 million in tax dollars away from our people to buy helicopters from an American company and asking that company to ensure $540 million in economic spinoffs for Quebec. The rest of the economic spinoffs, about $3 billion, will go to companies in western Canada.
The truth is that the people of Quebec will lose $260 million to western provinces. What is more, this is a Conservative, a Quebecker, who is using his power against Quebec and boasting about it. That is why Bloc Québécois members will continue to stand up for Quebec's interests.
Asian Heritage Month
Statements By Members

Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in honour of Asian Heritage Month, which is recognized across Canada during the month of May.
My riding is fortunate to be home to several distinct Asian communities. Their histories extend as far back as the late 1850s, when Chinese miners first arrived in Victoria for the gold rush. They soon formed what became the oldest Chinatown in Canada. Just as the gold rush was pivotal to the creation of B.C. as a province, the Chinese who came to Victoria at that time, and their descendants, have played a defining role in our history.
Many other Asian immigrants followed the Chinese, including those from South Asia, Japan, Vietnam, Korea and the Philippines. Despite frequently having to contend with racism, they have established strong and thriving communities in Victoria.
We are grateful for and enriched by their contributions. We look forward to celebrating this month with them.
The Senate
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Rob Anders Calgary West, AB
Mr. Speaker, 17 years ago I watched my father vote in Canada's first Senate election. It brought him joy to cast a ballot in that pivot of history.
I have been in Bert Brown's living room, the place where Bert and his wife Alice held the first meeting to promote a triple E Senate all those decades ago. I remember working on democratic reform as one of my earliest files as a parliamentarian. Bert and I worked on the elected Senate action team. We put the heat on Senator Andy Thompson for being an absentee senator, to the point where his colleagues castigated him and he was forced from the upper chamber.
Bert has fought for an elected Senate since the 1980s, and finally after all these years we have a Prime Minister promoting a bill to wholly elect the upper chamber. I was proud to see Bert Brown in our caucus meeting last week. It brings profound meaning to the long struggle over these many years together. I remember him carving the triple E in his neighbour's field north of Calgary in Kathryn, Alberta.
He is a prairie populist who has proved that persistence prevails. I welcome a man of conviction, Alberta's ambassador, Bert Brown.

Mr. Speaker, is the Prime Minister delusional? He made a promise to Canadians to establish medical wait time guarantees for five priority areas and has failed to deliver on it, yet shockingly he has declared the wait time guarantees mission complete.
The failures continue, as the so-called guarantees are double the current queues and triple the doctor-recommended wait times. For example, B.C. is getting $76.4 million for a cancer radiation therapy guarantee. That is double the current wait time of four weeks and is six weeks longer than the doctor-recommended wait time.
The government must address the shortage of doctors and nurses, because setting benchmarks is meaningless unless the resource capacity to deliver the goals in terms of health care professionals and infrastructure is provided.
When will the Prime Minister stop deceiving Canadians and address the root problems in our health care system?
World Health Organization
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, for a number of years parliamentarians from all parties have given support for Taiwan to have observer status with meaningful participation in the World Health Organization.
Recently, Taiwan's President Chen formally applied to the director-general of the WHO for membership in that organization. Taiwan believes that it has a major role to play in the prevention of the spread of diseases such as SARS and AIDS and in the promotion of global health safety, to the benefit of all the countries of our world.
I urge all members of this House to continue their support for Taiwan in its bid for WHO observer status and to continue their support as Taiwan pursues its goal of membership in the World Health Organization.
Red Cross and Red Crescent
Statements By Members
May 8th, 2007 / 2:05 p.m.
Claude Bachand Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, today is World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day.
The Red Cross has been helping people since 1896. The organization seeks to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity anytime, anywhere, here at home and around the world.
Guided by the fundamental principle of neutrality, the International Committee of the Red Cross goes to war-torn regions and conflict zones to promote and reinforce universal humanitarian laws and principles. The ICRC's humanitarian missions are therefore very important, but they are also often dangerous.
Over the past decade, 162 Red Cross workers, including two Canadians, have been killed in the line of duty. But as Jean Pictet said in 1979, "For the Red Cross there is no just war and no unjust war, there are only victims in need of help."

Three decades ago, Kate Lundsten made quite an imprint on the swimming community. The Minnetonka grad was a key member of the Piper swim team that won three consecutive AIAW national titles (the predecessor to NCAA Division III). She led by example, earning 24 All-American notations. By the time she was done in 1982, she had won national titles in the 100 and 200 yard backstroke, setting a national record in the latter event. Her times in those events (as well as being a member of the 200 Free Relay) have stood the test of time and are still school standards today.
In 1996, HU inducted her into its Athletic Hall Of Fame. (That's her plaque pictured at the right.)
After her competitive days ended, Lundsten turned to coaching with great success at Eden Prairie High School and with the Aquajets Swim Team. One of her top current proteges is Rachel Bootsma, the Eden Prairie, Minn. teenager who will be one of the top American prospects when as the Summer Olympics get under way this week in London. Like her teacher/coach did, Bootsma competes in the 100 Backstroke. She was second at the U.S. trials, duplicating her 2011 finish. She will also a member of the 4 x 100 Medley Relay team.
Bootsma's time of 59.49 in the 100 Backstroke was less than a second behind Missy Franklin's winning time. Bootsma has no problem giving credit to her mentor. On her USA SWIMMING bio, she says this about Lundsten: "Without her coaching me, I certainly wouldn't be swimming. She keeps practices
fun and enjoyable. She knows me so well. She helped me set my goal to make the
Olympic team and she was the one who helped me make that goal a reality. I owe
all of my swimming successes to her."
Bootsma hits the water at the Aquatic Centre Sunday, July 29 for the first round. If all goes well, she will be back for a semifinal bid later that day. The finals are scheduled for Monday, July 30.

The men's basketball team will continue its march through the CollegeInsider.com Tournament this weekend, hosting Eastern Michigan on Saturday.
Both the Eagles and the Lions are coming off nail-biting wins in their respective first-round CIT matchups. Eastern Michigan hosted and defeated Norfolk State, 58-54, on Tuesday, while the Lions are coming off a thrilling 58-56 triumph at Valparaiso, thanks to sophomore guard Maodo Lo.
With just 28 seconds left in the game and Columbia up by one, Crusader forward Vashil Fernandez grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled. Light Blue head coach Kyle Smith said he talked about strategy during the resulting media timeout.
"We were really concerned about the second free throw, getting the rebound," Smith said, mentioning that a missed free throw from Fernandez, who shot under 50 percent from the line this season, was likely. "We said if it's a tied game, we'll just play for one shot with Maodo."
Fernandez knocked down one free throw—tying the game—but missed the second. Sophomore guard Isaac Cohen grabbed the rebound for Columbia. The Lions got the ball to Lo, who ran down the clock, drove, stepped back, and knocked down a long jumper at the buzzer.
Eastern Michigan presents a different challenge for Columbia than Valparaiso. The Eagles really rely on their defense—among the very best in the country—to win games. The Green and White ranks second in the country in effective field goal percentage defense according to Hoop-Math and just outside the top 20 in adjusted defensive efficiency according to KenPom. Smith compared the Eagles to Syracuse for their zone defense.
A big part of Eastern Michigan's 2-3 zone is seven-foot center Da'Shonte Riley, the 2014 Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Riley has averaged nearly three blocks per game this season. Smith called him an NBA-caliber post defender.
"We're going to stretch them out. We gotta be able to make some outside shots," Smith said. "It'll be hard if we don't."
Columbia's outside shooting has been a little spotty recently, but the Lions have found ways to put together victories nonetheless, winning six of their last eight games. Junior center Cory Osetkowski has scored in double figures in three straight games, including a 21-point performance on Tuesday.
"Everything from here on out is good education for our guys, as far as getting practices this late in the year, and playing these situations, understanding what postseason basketball is like," Smith said. "Our guys are focused and yet very excited."
Tipoff is at 7 p.m. at Levien Gymnasium. The game will also be streamed on CollegeInsider.com.

The Professional Guide To Profitable Dance Instruction
Product Information
This outstanding 237 page manual offers solutions to the critical issues facing every dance studio. Written by top dance studio management experts Diane Jarmolow and John DePalma. If you need additional information, call Wayne Eng 1-800-851-2813 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Wouldn't it be better to spend a little now, instead of a lot more later?
This guide could save you money in the long run.
Dear Success-Minded Entrepreneur,
Never has there been so much information about running a ballroom dance studio contained in one concise, easy-to-understand guide.
Before opening a ballroom dance studio you might decide to hire a consultant. When people are considering a business consultation, rarely do they realize the costs involved, such as airfare, hotel room, meals, etc. plus the cost of an 8-hour day at approximately $800 each. To get all the information contained in this guide from a consultant would take a week and cost you thousands of dollars.
Of course, you could decide to open your studio, make some mistakes along the way and learn as you go. This approach could end up costing you more than a professional consultant.
Over the past several years I have had numerous studio owners ask for my advice. After listening to their concerns and helping them to sort out various issues in their organizations, I could only wish they had thought to call me before opening.
I highly advise anyone who is thinking about opening up a dance studio to invest in this guide. It will save you time and money. Please call 800-851-2813 for pricing and ask for Wayne Eng.

This book is incredible! Just open the page on teaching a group class and read it and you will be inspired again just like when you first started teaching. This book is worth its weight in gold (and it is heavy) to anyone who is starting a dance studio or as a reference manual to remember all the little things you should be doing. I have paid more for one weekend of dance studio business training than what I paid for this class. The major difference is that I dont remember everything I paid for before. But with this book.. I can read it over and over.
I have owned a dance studio for 12 years. I wish there had been a book like this when I first started. If only ONE of these ideas brings me only ONE new student or keeps a student in my studio longer... it will have paid for itself.
I recommend this book to anyone. If you are new at the business... no need to recreate the wheel. If you have been in the business for a while.. it will help make your wheel more streamlined.
Thank you Dance Vision!

Group voices concerns over landfill plans
By SHER QUADT
Those of us who live in the immediate vicinity of the Chautauqua County Landfill are affected by its operations on a daily basis, and we see first hand the amount of waste that is being brought in from outside of our county.
As a small group of concerned town of Ellery residents, we would like to give some input on the issue of the planned Chautauqua County Landfill expansion. We would also like to bring this issue to the forefront for all who live in Chautauqua County to consider, and voice their opinions. Chautauqua County has already held several public state environmental quality review meetings as a requirement of the state Department of Environmental Conservation permitting process to expand the landfill. These meetings were a necessary part of addressing expected environmental impacts that will result from the landfill expansion. We feel that attendance to these meetings was low, simply because citizens were unaware of them. They were announced by the County in the correct manner. The draft permit from the DEC for the planned landfill expansion is due to be posted in the very near future, therefore if any person wishes to voice his opinion or have his questions answered regarding this project the time to do so is now!
As town of Ellery residents, we truly appreciate the efforts of Supervisor Arden Johnson, and the town board for the stance they have taken on our behalf. The town board has made public a written statement of its position on the landfill expansion, and hired Ensol Inc. to conduct surveys of local residents. We, ourselves have decided to generate an online petition asking the Ellery Town Board to stand by its stated position and require Chautauqua County to mitigate certain issues we feel to be very important (there are some paper copies circulating).
These issues are certainly not all encompassing, and of course are not necessarily the view of all town of Ellery residents. However, we feel these particular issues need to be fully addressed for the good of everyone in the County. Anyone who would like to read and/or possibly sign this online petition may do so at the following web address: www.ipetitions.com/petition/chautauquacountylandfillexpansion2013/.
This petition provides several helpful informational links including one to the town of Ellery's written statement of position.
If you decide to sign the online petition, please enter any comments and opinions you have in the designated area as this will help to identify areas of concern. When signing know that an e-mail address is required, but it is not published on the signature page and is not made public to anyone.
At the end of the period this petition will be printed and delivered to the town of Ellery along with any paper copies. If you do not wish to sign, but wish to voice your opinion you should do so to your local county legislator, elected state representatives, or even to the town of Ellery.
We appreciate your support and invite your comments. Thank you.
Sher Qadt is an Ellery Center resident writing on behalf of Ellery residents concerned about expansion of the Chautauqua County landfill.

GutterClear 365™ Gutter Filtration System
About this itemKeep your gutters clear and prevent clogs and drainage problems from the buildup of debris with GutterClear 365™ Gutter Filtration System from FXI.
The buildup of leaves and debris in your gutters can eventually clog and prevent the proper drainage of water off of your roof. This can lead to a number of problems all throughout the year - overflowing gutters can allow water to collect against your home's foundation, ice and snow can back up and work under the roof tiles creating leaks, and standing water in gutters is the perfect haven for water-breeding insects such as mosquitoes. Keeping your gutters clear today means cleaning and clearing them of the collected debris at least once a year - an oftentimes difficult, dirty and potentially dangerous job to perform. Prevent these problems and protect your home with GutterClear 365™ Gutter Filtration System. Water passes right through the semi-rigid foam, almost as if it weren't even there! The unique triangular shaped inserts completely seal off gutters from leaves and other debris, while leaving a completely open channel underneath for water to flow unhindered to the downspouts. Manufactured to exacting specifications, the high-quality foam is coated with UV and antimicrobial inhibitors for long-lasting durability and performance. Quality is ensured through the included 5 year warranty. Each box includes (8) 3' sticks, for a total of 24' per box, and it couldn't be easier to install. Just clean out your gutters, and slide the sticks into the cleaned gutters, trimming with a utility knife or heavy-duty scissors for corners and edges. Keep your gutters clear – all year round with GutterClear 365™ Gutter Filtration System.

Thursday, October 3, 2013 - Text by Gayle Alleyne | Edwin Leung
Next month's BWF Para-Badminton World Championships 2013 in Dortmund, Germany, have attracted a record 248 entries from 39 countries – doubling from the last championships in 2011.
The number of nations participating has also jumped by 30 per cent from two years ago, with Member Associations such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Finland, Ghana and Uganda sending players for the first time ever.
Competitors from all five continental confederations will vie for honours in six classes – two wheelchair classes (89 entries), three standing classes (139 entries) and one short stature class (20 entries)– making it the most universal para-badminton tournament ever staged.
"Interest in para-badminton has been increasing and the numbers indicate how much the popularity of this sport has risen. We are pleased to have competitors in every category and from all our continental confederations. This will be our best Para-Badminton World Championships yet," said BWF Vice-President Para-Badminton, Paul Kurzo (left).
"This is definitely a sign that we are on the right track in terms of promoting para-badminton as a wonderful sport within the disabled community. These championships are coming at a time when we're preparing to launch our campaign for inclusion into the 2020 Paralympic Games and we expect this event will show the diversity and competitiveness of para-badminton."
Kurzo noted that to accommodate varying disabilities and ensure fairness, para-badminton players are each "classified" into groups for competition, depending on minimal impairment for a particular class/group. In para-badminton, there are six sport classes:
WH 1 – a player in this class requires wheelchair to play badminton. They usually have impairment in both lower limbs and trunk function.
WH 2 – a player in this class could have impairment in one or both lower limbs and minimal or no impairment of the trunk.
SL 3 – in this class a player must play standing. The player could have impairment in one or both lower limbs and poor walking/running balance.
SL 4 – a second standing class where the player has a lesser impairment compared to Sport Class SL 3. The player could have impairment in one or both lower limbs and minimal impairment in walking/running balance.
SU 5 – the player in this class has impairment of the upper limbs.
SS 6 – these are players who have a short stature due to a genetic condition often referred to as "dwarfism".
N.B. WH = wheelchair; SL = standing lower; SU = standing upper; and SS = short stature.
"To the uninitiated, para-sport may look a little confusing, with athletes who may look like they have very different impairments, competing against each other in the same event," noted Kurzo.
"However, fairness is factored in through the classification process. Athletes are evaluated via medical examination – and sometimes through badminton-specific activities on court – and then grouped into classes according to the impact their impairment has on their sport performance."

Large amounts of money and research are required for wave power to catch up with wind and solar.the need to transition away from fossil fuels. Meanwhile, numerous studies have concluded that wave power — and to a lesser extent, tidal power — could contribute massive amounts to the overall energy picture. But while the industry has made halting progress, experts agree that it remains decades behind other forms of renewables, with large amounts of money and research required for it to even begin to catch up.
A theme among wave power experts is that wave energy is where wind energy was three decades ago.issues of working in the ocean that offshore wind illustrates, and then you've got [an energy] conversion technology that really no one seems to have settled on a design that is robust, reliable, and efficient. With wind, you're harnessing the energy as a function of the speed of the wind. In wave energy, you've not only got the height of the wave, but you've got the period of the wave, so it becomes a more complicated problem."
Experts say the industry need not settle on one device before substantial progress occurs.Lockheed Martin's Australia project, which will use a buoy technology that generates electricity from the rising and falling of waves.
The Pacific Northwest and Alaska will likely have a monopoly on the first U.S. wave projects.Alaska will likely have a monopoly on the U.S.'s first generation of wave projects, while in Europe the United Kingdom — Scotland in particular — is focusing heavily on wave energy development. The U.K. government says the country could potentially get as much as 75 percent of its energy needs from the waves and tides combined; the U.S. Department of Energy, meanwhile, estimates that wave power in the U.S. could generate as much 1,170 terawatt-hours per year, which is equivalent to more than one quarter of all U.S. electricity consumption.
