Monte Solberg Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, while the member was on her feet, I was hoping she would explain to Canadians why her government in 13 years did nothing on those issues. However, she did not see fit to address that so I will try to answer that for her.
In 13 months in government, we are moving forward with a foreign credential referral office so that those people who are foreign trained, whether they are in the medical profession or any of the other profession, have a pathway to having their credentials recognized through the professional bodies that are responsible for that or a pathway toward getting the upgrading they need so they can practise in their field in Canada. We are moving forward on that.
We are also moving forward on other initiatives that provide training so people can work across Canada in their appropriate field. In the budget we talked about the importance of knocking down interprovincial barriers so people can move across the country.
We also announced in the budget that we are working toward providing a pathway to permanent residence for temporary workers who come to Canada temporarily to fill the skills shortages that we have here because we see that as an important way to ensure we attract the best and brightest to this country, something the Liberals never saw fit to do in 13 years.

Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today on behalf of the constituents of Fleetwood—Port Kells to participate in the debate on budget 2007. The document we have before us is further evidence that Canada's new government is listening and responding to the real concerns of British Columbians.
For more than a decade my constituents have had to endure the empty rhetoric and broken promises of Liberal prime ministers. Those days are now behind us.
Budget 2007 is a budget for all Canadians regardless of where they come from. Budget 2007 is a balanced budget that cuts taxes for working families, invests in important priorities like health care, the environment, infrastructure, and moves to restore the fiscal balance. In short, this is a great budget for B.C. and a great budget for Canada.
This year's federal budget is good news for people concerned about infrastructure in B.C. For years Lower Mainland residents have sought federal aid for their transportation problems. Liberal neglect has exacted a heavy toll on commuters. Travel times in the Lower Mainland have increased by 30% in the last decade. Traffic delays are costing the trucking industry over $500 million a year.
With the region's population expected to grow by another one million by 2021, severe traffic congestion will only get worse.
Last fall, at my invitation, the transport minister visited Surrey and met with people in my riding to listen to their concerns. Those concerns are now being addressed.
Budget 2007 makes the largest investment in infrastructure in Canadian history, with more than $16 billion over seven years to fix our roads, highways, bridges and ports. This brings total federal support under a new long term plan for infrastructure to $33 billion.
British Columbia is the single biggest winner on the infrastructure front. There is an additional $400 million for the Pacific Gateway initiative, bringing total federal funding to $1 billion; over $275 million for other Gateway and border crossing projects; more than $2 billion for B.C. municipalities in the form of gas tax funding and GST rebates; and an additional $25 million per year for the province to support investments in national priorities. As told, budget 2007 will invest nearly $5 billion in B.C. infrastructure over the next seven years.
Previous Liberal governments knew of our glaring needs, but did nothing. It has taken a Conservative government to produce results.
In Fleetwood—Port Kells parents struggle daily with the challenge of raising a family. While the economy is booming and unemployment is at a 30 year low, the cost of living is dramatically higher than in other regions.
As a government we need to make it more affordable for people to have children and to raise them. That is why in budget 2007 we are creating a working families tax plan. This plan has three components.
First, for families with children it includes a brand new $2,000 per child tax credit for children under 18 that will help families to get ahead.
Second, we are ending the marriage penalty through an increase of the spousal and dependent amounts to the same level as the basic personal amount.
Third, we are helping parents save for their children's education by strengthening the RESP program. For B.C. families this plan will result in significant tax savings totalling more than $300 million annually.
We are also taking action to ensure that our seniors can live in dignity. In budget 2007 we are helping seniors by raising the age limit for RRSPs to 71 from 69 years, increasing the age credit by $1,000 and permitting pension income splitting. These measures are great news for hard-working families and seniors in Fleetwood--Port Kells.
Budget 2007 helps to ensure that we continue to live in a country where hard work and sacrifice lead to economic success and security.
Our government has provided British Columbians with a budget that recognizes their struggles and delivers fairness.
British Columbia is blessed with one of the most remarkable natural environments found anywhere in Canada. It should therefore come as no surprise to members that people in my province consider preserving the environment to be a top government priority. That is one reason why Canada's new government is moving forward with a positive environment agenda that will curb our production of greenhouse gases and reduce water, land and air pollutants.
We are replacing empty Liberal talk with an approach that is responsible and realistic. Budget 2007 invests $4.5 billion in measures to protect our natural environment. This includes, among other things, $1.5 billion for cleaner energy and energy efficiency. Through the Canada ecotrust for clean air and climate change, B.C.'s share of this funding is almost $200 million.
There is also $2.2 billion for measures to support cleaner transportation, including a new rebate for fuel efficient vehicles, a new green levy to discourage fuel inefficient vehicles, and programs to get older, high pollution vehicles off our roads.
We are introducing a $93 million national water strategy and there is $30 million to protect B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest.
Combined with a $4.6 billion investment in 2006, Canada's new government has invested more than $9 billion in preserving and protecting the environment with programs that deliver results.
British Columbians are fed up with the empty rhetoric and broken promises of previous Liberal governments. That is why we are delivering real action to protect our natural environment for all Canadians.
In conclusion, with this budget, we are restoring fiscal balance by bringing federal support for B.C. to $4.7 billion this fiscal year, making $76.4 million available to the B.C. government through the patient wait times guarantee trust, and making another $39.9 million available to B.C. to implement an HPV immunization program to combat cervical cancer.
There is $9 million in corporate income tax relief for changes in capital cost allowances for buildings; $57 million in additional corporate income tax relief for the temporary two-year write-off for manufacturing equipment over the next two years; approximately $10.2 million in tax savings for farmers, fishers and small business owners through an increased lifetime capital gains tax exemption to $750,000; approximately $60 million in other assistance for B.C. farmers; and $15 million for the Brain Research Centre at the University of British Columbia. All of this funding is specifically for British Columbia.
Managing Canada's $1.5 trillion economy means making choices and striking the right balance. In budget 2007 we have achieved this by balancing the budget, cutting taxes for working families, investing in priorities, and giving provinces the resources they need to deliver the front line services that matter to all Canadians.
Our actions today will create a Canada that we will be proud to pass on to our children and grandchildren, a Canada with a standard of living and quality of life that is second to none. Canada's new government is working for all Canadians, building a stronger, safer and better Canada.

National Research Council
Statements By Members

James Rajotte Edmonton—Leduc, AB
Mr. Speaker, the National Research Council of Canada has had a tremendous impact not only on the lives of Canadians but on people around the world since 1916.
Radar, electric wheelchair, heart pacemaker, canola, the Canadarm, and a vaccine for infant meningitis are only a fraction of the made in Canada life changing technologies that the NRC has developed with its partners in its labs over the last 90 years.
Today, work is underway with industry and other partners developing low emission jet engines, on hydrogen energy and biofuels, and on advance treatment technologies for chronic disease, to name but a few.
In addition NRC's IRAP program this year alone has worked with close to 10,000 Canadian small businesses helping them gain a competitive edge through new technology. The National Research Council is Canada's flag ship R and D agency and is making a difference for Canada and for Canadians.
I encourage the members of the House to visit NRC's display today in the Commonwealth Room to see firsthand how it is putting science to work in Canada.
Mel Swart
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
John Maloney Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, on February 27 Niagara lost a long time political icon. Since 1947 Mel Swart served on Thorold City Council as Reeve, as Warden of Welland County Council, as a Niagara Regional Councillor, and finally as the Member of the Provincial Parliament from 1975 to 1988.
It was when his doctor told him that he must cut back on his 16 hour days that he retired from politics believing that he could no longer serve his constituency if he could not give the 110% that he always gave.
Originally a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and later with the New Democratic Party, Mel was a fine gentleman, respected by all and who worked tirelessly for his fellow man. He was a champion for social justice, the environment and consumer rights.
In recent years Mel was always still active on the campaign trail for his favoured candidate. In between campaigns Mel was often at community events in Thorold always advocating for his preferred projects.
Predeceased by his wife Thelma in 2001, Mel died at the age of 87. I extend my condolences to the children, Melva and Orlen and their families. Mel was a political legend and will be very much missed in Niagara.
Quebec Bridge

Robert Carrier Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, residents in the Quebec City and Lévis area have been waiting several years for Canadian National to repaint the Quebec Bridge.
In a question to his colleague, the Minister of Transport, the member for Lévis—Bellechasse brought up the former Liberal government's failure to act on this issue.
Now, just like the Liberals before them, the Conservatives are powerless in this situation, and are showing their inability to negotiate. This is why they are giving up and calling on the courts to force CN to fulfill its obligations and responsibilities. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, the recent Conservative budget disappointed seniors once again.
In my riding of Nanaimo--Cowichan, 16% of our neighbours are seniors and that number is rising. They depend on the OAS and GIS for part of their income, but there was no increase for them in the budget.
They had hoped to see a reduction in the tax rate for the lowest income bracket. More importantly, seniors had hoped to be reimbursed for the full amount the government had short changed them as a result of a Statistics Canada mistake in calculating the consumer price index, but the Conservatives ignored this clear opportunity to be accountable to older Canadians.
Instead of supporting their retirement with dignity, the Conservatives are asking seniors to work longer. This is at a time of record surpluses which could have improved the life of seniors. Seniors cannot wait forever.
Although the government supported the NDP seniors charter in June of last year, it has failed to deliver real change for older Canadians.
Democratic Republic of Congo
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, on October 29, 2006, the Democratic Republic of Congo went through its first democratic election in more than 40 years with President Kabila winning this milestone event.
The presence of UN forces, MUNOC, in the DRC was instrumental in ensuring that the election was peaceful.
Canada played an important role in this election. Therefore, the Government of Canada was alarmed to learn of the violent confrontations that started in Kinshasa on March 22 between the forces loyal to Senator Jean-Pierre Bemba, the loser in the 2006 presidential election, and the national army and the police in the capital city. Congolese authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Bemba.
During the Great Lakes Conference in Nairobi this past December, all countries pledged to uphold the transition to democracy in Congo. I also met with President Kabila.
Canada condemns this violence and calls on all responsible Congolese leaders to respect and advance the peaceful democratic processes.
Louis-René Beaudoin
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, 2007 marks 50 years since the culmination of the historic and raucous pipeline debate in this very House, a debate that was presided over by Speaker Louis-René Beaudoin. The House was so moved by debate that it witnessed members pouring into the aisle and saw one hon. member climb the Speaker's dais while shaking his fist at Speaker Beaudoin.
As Speaker Beaudoin carried out his difficult duties with grace and aplomb, he was assailed by all sides of the House. When he made an unpopular ruling, the harassment from all sides was so great that he tabled his resignation. Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent, respecting him so, refused to accept it.
Even though his reputation was seriously affected, he won re-election. After his political career ended, he was unable to find fulfilling work. He drifted from job to job and eventually died unheralded at the age of 57.
On reflection of Louis-René Beaudoin's distinguished career, we should all strive for more civility in our debates and a higher degree of respect for each other. We should always remember those like Louis-René Beaudoin who have stood before us in the House and have so ably served Canada.
Order of the Knights of Columbus
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, this year, on March 29, the Knights of Columbus will be celebrating their 125th anniversary. The Order of the Knights of Columbus was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney with a group of parishioners in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut in 1882.
The Knights of Columbus is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity, and fraternity 125 years later. It renders financial aid to members and their families. In addition, mutual aid and assistance are offered to the sick, the disabled and the needy.
The small founding group has grown to become the world's largest lay Catholic organization, with more than 1.7 million members around the world.
I wish a happy anniversary and long life to the Order of the Knights of Columbus, so that it can continue the good work.
Germaine Morin-Proulx

2:05 p.m.
Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, on January 29, a great cultural figure was inducted into the Temple de la renommée des affaires in Drummondville. Germaine Morin-Proulx is the 18th person to be honoured by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Drummond for her important contribution to building the economic life of the community.
She founded a ballet school in Drummondville in 1946, seven years before the creation of the Grands Ballets canadiens, as well as a folk troupe in 1947, and the Boutique du danseur in 1976.
Her contribution to the economic, cultural and artistic life of her community, for all the arts, has been considerable. In addition, she has always fought to have the role of women in society recognized.
I am pleased to honour her today and to join the thousands of residents of Drummondville who thank her for her extraordinary contribution to our community.
Congratulations, Mrs. Morin-Proulx.

Ed Fast Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative budget is getting things done, so much help for so many Canadians, yet the Liberals and NDP oppose our tax relief for hard-working families.
In fact, last week, the Liberal leader was asked on TV whether there was anything in our budget that he could support. He refused to answer the question. What is his secret agenda? Why will he not tell Canadians what he is really thinking? Is it because he does not support a $2,000 tax credit for families with children? Is it because he is against poor families getting over the welfare wall? Or is it because he opposes support for university students?
What does the NDP have against families who want financial security for their disabled children?
By voting against our budget, the Liberals and NDP are voting against helping our seniors. They are voting against tax relief for truck drivers. Above all, they are voting against improved financial support for the brave men and women of our armed forces.
Shame on the Liberals, shame on the NDP.

Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to express my disappointment, disappointment because the government forgot Canada's most vulnerable communities in its budget.
Some Canadian communities face a disproportionate risk of being attacked by terrorist organizations or racist groups. For example, every synagogue, community centre, Jewish school and community festival requires continual security presence. Mosques and gurdwaras have been targeted.
The financial implications of this unprecedented level of security are great and the federal government's first priority is to protect Canadians. Members on our side have called on the government to establish a fund to help these communities pay for security costs when Canadian law enforcement agrees that a disproportionate risk exists.
This party's leader endorsed this idea. That government did not. We have a crime prevention action fund. Why do we not have a security fund for at risk communities?

Chris Warkentin Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, by refusing to support the budget, the Liberals and the NDP have once again put their partisan games ahead of hard-working Canadian families.
I will outline just some of the things the Liberals and the NDP seem to be opposed to: the new working income tax benefit that will benefit families up to $1,000; a $2,000 tax credit for children under the age of 18; improvements to the flexibility of the RESP program that will ensure parents can raise money for their children's education; an end to the marriage penalty to help single income families; and a new long term savings plan for parents of children with severe disabilities.
Unlike the elite groups for which the opposition likes to speak, this government is getting real results for real Canadians. The Liberals and the NDP should put aside their partisan politics and do what is right for Canadian families.

The Extreme Movers: Metals Bounce Coming?
-- Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In last week's Extreme Movers Message , I highlighted the extreme strength that the energy sector was expressing as oil approaches the century mark and the Dow nears new all-time highs.
Followers of my writings know that I have been turning considerably more negative on markets since last week, as our Accelerated Time and Capital models used for managing our mutual fund and separate accounts got highly defensive. Intermarket trends have deteriorated, and it appears ever more likely that we are entering a corrective period.
On CNBC, I argued that the catalyst may indeed by oil itself.
Not much has changed as to leaders this week, but some interesting declines are worth noting. Every week I run a screen on the over 1,000 ETFs/ETNs I track to identify those areas of the investable landscape exhibiting extreme price behavior relative to their own respective 20-day moving averages. The idea is to see if there is a message happening beneath the surface of the market by looking at the opposite ends of winners and losers spectrum over a rolling one-month period. Take a look below for the latest results.
The Extreme Winners remain largely in the energy space. Oil equipment and services (represented by iShares Dow US Oil Equipment and Services and Market Vectors Oil US Services continue to get a strong bid as oil itself advances.
The broad sector as well through the SPDR Energy Select Sector Fund ETF also shows up on the list, which is a curious thing given the large-cap nature of the fund. Vietnam's vertical ascent is probably nearing a massively overbought level, which could be an interesting counter-trend trade should the correction I believe is likely begin to take hold in earnest.
The most different of areas here appears to be the Broker-Deals Index Fund , which is likely reacting to hopes for the "Great Re-Allocation" out of bonds and into stocks, causing a pickup in transactions and trading.
What is more notable is what appears on the Extreme Losers side of the equation, with Gold Miners , Silver Miners and Metals and Mining very badly in the red.
These areas have largely lagged the melt-up that began in June of last year, and I suspect this breakdown is a sign of capitulation. I very much think these areas are worth paying attention to in the weeks ahead given they they could outperform during a risk-off period.
Interestingly, very long duration bonds also have done poorly, likely to rally on an oversold comeback. If the fear trades of gold and bonds are extreme on the downside, it seems entirely plausible for them to rally in a major way.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Ravi Shankar
In 1938, Shankar gave up a potential career as a dancer and went to study with Allauddin Khan in Maihar. In 1939, he began giving public recitals and came out of training at the end of 1944. Until 1948, he based himself in Bombay and gave programs all over India. He toured and wrote for films and ballet. Around this time he began his recording career with a small session for HMV (India). Work for All India Radio followed, as music director from February 1949 to January 1956 in New Delhi. Concurrently, his international star was on the rise. In 1954, he performed in the Soviet Union. In 1956, he played his debut solo concerts in Western Europe and the U.S. Within a decade he would be the most famous Indian musician on the planet. Within two decades he became probably the most famous Indian alive. His English-language autobiography, My Music, My Life (1969), is still one of the best general introductions to Hindustani music. It would be hard to over-estimate his influence in late 20th century Western music. His disciples included George Harrison and Philip Glass.
Shankar was not one-dimensional. Apart from pursuing a career as a classical performer, he also experimented outside this field. For this reason he has attracted criticism from purists. Some of this, especially during the Beatles era, undoubtedly had an element of jealousy to it, and some was certainly warranted, because Shankar did take many chances. In fact, that was one of the things that kept his music exciting. To use a cricketing image -- baseball would be wholly inappropriate -- Shankar's batting average remained high throughout a long and illustrious career. In later life, he spent a great deal of time in the U.S. at his home in California, and continued to give spellbinding live performances well into the new century. However, his final concert took place in Bangalore, southwest India, in February 2012, where he shared the stage with his daughter, Anoushka. Sadly, following a long period of ill health, Shankar passed away at a San Diego hospital on December 11, 2012, aged 92. A pair of albums appeared later that year, Living Room Sessions: Part 1 and a performance of Shankar's only symphony composition, simply called Symphony, done by the London Philharmonic Orchestra with David Murphy. ~ Ken Hunt

Scooby-Doo�has never been exactly the most educational kids show, but the franchise's�latest�straight-to-video�release,�Scooby-Doo!�Frankencreepy,�delivers�a really poor message for�viewers.
A clip for the movie (embedded below) depicts Daphne as the victim of a curse, and the subsequent loss of what she holds "most dear," which in her case, happens to be her looks. As a result of the curse, Daphne is transformed into an overweight version of herself — from a size 2 to a size 8, according to�The Huffington Post, though the animation makes her look much, much larger — and she's absolutely horrified over the fact.
However, Warner Bros., the studio behind the movie,�claims the�film's�story is actually positive.�"All of our content is run through Standards and Practices, and there is always sensitivity to obesity and self image, especially when it comes to programming made for children and a family audience," Warner Bros. said in a statement to�The Huffington Post. "Although you are correct that Daphne becomes bigger in the course of the story, the message is actually a much more positive one.�...�While Daphne is at first upset by the sudden change, there is a touching moment where Fred points out that he didn't even notice a change and that she always looks great to him.�At the end, when Velma explains how they figured out the mystery, she points out that the curse actually�didn'ttake away what means the most to each of them: their friendship.�The loss of Daphne's regular appearance is proven to be a superficial thing, and not what actually matters the most to her."
What do you think of Daphne's "curse"?

Modelling suggests authentic leadership from managers influences structural empowerment, job satisfaction and self-rated performance among nurses
- Department of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, University of Salford, Manchester, UK
- Correspondence to: Dr Jacqueline Leigh, Department of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, University of Salford, Frederick Road, Manchester M6 6PU, UK, J.A.Leigh4{at}salford.ac.uk
Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
If more nurse managers/leaders are seen as authentic this will increase the number of nurses who perceive that they have access to empowerment structures in the workplace. This will increase job satisfaction and performance.
The creation of future leadership development programmes should enhance the authentic leadership of nurse leaders.
Future research should evaluate the impact of a multidimensional approach to leadership development on improving the culture of healthcare organisations.
There is a growing body of evidence linking the transformation of healthcare services with an empowered workforce which is achieved in part through effective leadership. This study by Wong and colleagues …

One of the oldest baseball adages is good pitching will generally best good hitting. And that is exactly what happened on Tuesday afternoon at windy Kaube Field in Northfield. The Pipers got two terrific pitching efforts from Matt Eickman and Brett Bugielski. Unfortunately, they ran into a brilliant effort on the other side of the ledger and had to settle for a split of the doubleheader with Carleton. After dropping a 1-0 opener, HU rallied for a 5-3 win in the second game. It raised Hamline's conference won-loss mark to 1-5 and their overall standard to 9-15.
Eickman allowed just six hits in the lidlifter and lowered his ERA to a team-leading 2.88 but was tinged for a fourth inning run. HU managed just three hits -- two singles by Jordan Rubbelke and one by Mark Radmacher -- and could not get a runner past second base.
The second game was a different story from the start. With one out in the first, Tyler Johnson banged out the first of his three hits. A walk and a second single loaded the bases. Radmacher then singled to left to score one run and Ben Richardson followed with a foul ball out that produced a second run. The Knights responded for two in the bottom of the inning but HU went back ahead in the second. Rubbelke, who had four hits in the game, led off the inning with a single to left and eventually scored on Johnson's single to center field. (It was quite a day for that pair. Rubbelke went 6-for-7 on the day and raised his average 52 points to a season high .338. Johnson's 3-for-6 effort upped his average 11 points to .426.)
The Knights tied the game with another run in the third inning. Bugielski relieved HU starter Dylan Olson at the beginning of the fourth inning and dazzled them the rest of the way, giving up just three hits while whiffing a season-high seven batters.
Hamline snapped the 3-3 knot for good in the sixth inning when Cory Miller singled and rode home on Johnson's double. An insurance run in the seventh sealed the deal.
After 24 games, Hamline will see the insides of Midway Stadium for the first time this year when they host North Central (Minneapolis) for a nine-inning game on Thursday, April 12 at 3;00 p.m. HU returns to MIAC action Saturday at Macalester.

Topic: Access "session['user']" from before_save Active Record callback
Fellow Rails lovers,
I save my user in "session['user']" on login, and what I want to do is determine if I have a user logged in within the before_save Active Record callback (which I have as a method named "user?").
I thought it would be straightforward, but alas the "session[]" array is nil, yet I can use it in the controllers and views ok, happily displaying either the logged in username or anonymous in the interface with "session['user'].login".
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Skip to comments.ACLU-NJ Launches Smartphone App That Lets Users Secretly Record Police Stops
Posted on 07/04/2012 11:47:16 AM PDT by matt04
New Jerseys branch of the American Civil Liberties Union has taken its mission of policing the police to smartphones.
The ACLU has released an app called Police Tape that lets users secretly record police stops.
The ACLUs Alexander Shalom said the app is easy to use.
Theres really only three buttons that the user needs to deal with, Shalom said. Theres a know your rights button that educates the citizen about their rights when encountering police on the street, in a car, in their home or when theyre going to be placed under arrest, and theres a button to record audio and a button to record video.
You can think back to when Rodney King was beaten at the hands of the LAPD, Shalom said. For years, weve watched the police on video and thats led to reforms and police accountability, but now that cellphones and smartphones are becoming more ubiquitous, people have this ability to videotape. It really is a cutting-edge tool to ensure accountability in the 21st century.
(Excerpt) Read more at newyork.cbslocal.com ...
It's going to be ironic when this gets used against Holder's People at election time. I hope there's enough room on YouTube.
Sometimes life is pretty good.
I'm sure those videos will be "accidentally" lost by the ACLU.
They're useless unless they instantly stream the vid off to a safe place. Do they?
Not on the Apple iTunes Store...
I'll be waiting
It seems to me that somebody could make a lot of money with a car accessory.
A digital audio/video recorder that would be wired to five pinhole cameras/microphones, the four sides of the car and one of the outside of the driver's window.
A simpler version would just have two: one of the rear of the car and the other of the driver's window.
It would be discreet enough for no part of it to be detected during a regular search of the car by police.
And it might even be enabled so that once it had been activated, and "run out the clock", say three hours of recording time for each camera, without being turned off, then the system would search for an open WiFi to connect with. As soon as it found a stable WiFi, it would transmit its video/audio to a third party.
They stole my idea!
The ACLU is starting to scare me. Going something I like.
Doing something I like.
I'm sorry, I can't parse that second sentence.
I think this is a good thing, but prosecutors should have access to the videos as well.
Will the ACLU be liable if some pervert uses the App for nefarious activities?
This might even mean the end to "puppycide".
I quite agree. Having a system like this in one's home could make all the difference in the world.
Imagine a jury watching a video of a police SWAT team gunning down some families Maltese in front of screaming, crying small children, because it was doing a greetings dance on its little hind feet, *after* the cop testifies that "the dog bit him and he felt threatened".
Yep, that would be entertaining.
Try that west of the Delaware and you'll be busted under the PA wiretap statute-—two party consent state.
"Will the ACLU be liable if some pervert uses the App for nefarious activities?"
"Will gun manufacturers be liable if some criminal uses their product for nefarious activities?"
The answer to both questions should be the same. I vote for "no".
My son, who is a cop was the subject of a scathing letter to the editor, in which the woman lied repeatedly. The police chief wrote his own letter to the editor, daring the woman to sue my son or the police department. It seems the entire traffic stop was audio and video taped, he invited her or any expert to examine the tape, to insure that it was original and unedited.
The chief had high praise for my son's professionalism. Not so much as an impolite word or action from him, the woman, one of Holder's people made up the whole thing, including charges of racism.
She has not taken the chief up on his dare.
Video/audio tape works both ways.
The police department should sue her for every food stamp she has.
Is there a button to get a replacement for the cell phone the police officer shoved up your patoot?
Good for your son. Video is great for defense. But too many videos are "lost" or "accidentally deleted", or they "forgot" to turned it on.
And some take their victims out of camera view. Officer harless did that. a third party recording and storage is best. No cop should have control of his recording device or tape. And the shouldn't be allowed laws protecting against being recorded. Cockroaches love the dark.

Four Things We Learned At Tuesday's Practice
The Columbus Dispatch - September 18, 2013 09:13 AM
Four things we learned from the Crew's first training session since Saturday's 2-1, comeback road win against Montreal.
1. Tyson Wahl was signed primarily as a center back.
The veteran MLS defender made his first 18 starts of the season at left back before a depleted depth chart forced interim coach Brian Bliss to put Wahl inside alongside Chad Marshall against the Impact.
"When we picked up Tyson in the offseason, in the pecking order was Tyson: left-center back who can also play left back, not left back and can play left-center back," Bliss said. "It was a natural fit for him. He just hasn't had a chance to play there yet this year. That's his job, really. He's a left-center back before he's a left back."
Bliss said Marshall was able to steadily do more work as the week went on and that he knew for sure he would be able to play Friday. If Josh Williams was available this weekend, Bliss said he would be unlikely to break up the Marshall-Wahl pairing.
2. Bliss feels consistency is keeping Ben Speas out of the lineup.
After making one start as a rookie last season, Speas has started 10 games this year and bagged his first professional goal. However, injuries and some uneven play have kept Speas out of action in eight of the last nine games.
What does Speas need to do to get back in the lineup?
"I don't think there's any one particular thing he needs to do," Bliss said. "He was a house on fire the first seven to 10 games. Him and Tyson Wahl were guys we weren't necessarily counting on right from the get-go who were kind of carrying us through the first seven games in terms of their performances. Then both of them kind of slid off the table, one on performance and one on injury. Tyson's bounced back nicely and Speas has been mired in a little bit of mediocrity. I'm not sure what it is. He had a wedding going on this summer that probably didn't help his situation.
"I'm looking for an opportunity to get Speas in there. I've got to find the right one, and he's got to give me that reason to put him in there as well. I think he'll do fine."
3. Physicality has helped Tony Tchani stake a spot in the starting lineup.
Perhaps no player has personally benefitted more from replacing Robert Warzycha with Bliss than Tchani, who had fallen out of favor with the previous regime. Tchani replaced an injured Wil Trapp in the 3 th minute of Bliss' first game – Sept. 4 against Houston – and looked as solid as he has looked in his entire Crew career.
Tchani was a halftime sub in the Crew's ensuing 3-0 loss at Sporting Kansas City, but he was in the starting lineup against Montreal. It was his first start since he started seven straight from April 27-June 5, and in the 12 games between that latter game and the Houston game he tallied a combined 30 minutes of action.
"He's been a good physical presence in the middle of the field," Bliss said. "He's a big body but he doesn't always use it. The last few weeks when he's gotten in there he's used his size to his advantage. He's made good choices on the ball. Defensively, tactically is probably where he's made his biggest strides. We've defined his role and what we expect from him on the defensive side and he's risen to the occasion. That's why he's getting more minutes. He's not just hanging in there – he's done well. That's been a pleasant surprise."
4. Eddie Gaven's injury has forced Dominic Oduro into more of a midfielder role.
"His biggest asset is his speed," Bliss said. "Eddie Gaven going down, we had to ask Dom to play another role because we know he's played there before in Chicago so it's not foreign to him. Probably he has more opportunities when he's up top but sometimes you've got to sacrifice for the good of the team and right now wide right is helping us a little more and we always have the option later to move him up."

It happened quietly, and it didn't make any headlines, but an agreement reached in Geneva last week represents a key step forward in the battle against some of the world's biggest killers: non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
On November 9, health officials representing member states of the World Health Organization agreed to a global monitoring framework and a set of voluntary global targets on NCDs, which are the leading cause of death worldwide, representing 63 percent of deaths annually, and 70 percent in the United States. For three intensive days, health officials held meetings to negotiate the final details of a strategy in the making since September 2011, when world leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly and agreed to the Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases. That Declaration energized and advanced the global commitment to NCDs, and for specifics on how we would monitor progress, the Declaration rightly asked WHO Member States to develop a framework of target and indicators. At the WHO in Geneva last week, we answered those questions through this framework agreement which will be submitted to the WHO governing bodies in 2013 for final adoption.
NCDs are the leading cause of death worldwide. This fact drove the WHO member governments to urgently complete this proposed framework. Another key factor that drove the urgent focus of the experts is the ever-increasing cost of health care, largely a result of NCD treatment. This framework will include targets on availability of essential medicines and other measures which will strengthen health care systems and address these challenges in the most efficient way.
The United States recognizes that involvement of the key stakeholders, including representatives of WHO member governments, civil society and private industry, is critical to our success in the fight against NCDs. To encourage this multi-sectoral approach, I co-hosted a series of roundtable discussions with the Union for International Cancer Control and other Geneva Missions to provide an opportunity for WHO member governments to hear directly from civil society and private sector about their concerns and hopes for the development of NCD targets and indicators. These meetings laid the groundwork to develop consensus among the WHO member governments with buy-in from civil society and industry.
The WHO's landmark agreement on NCDs is a remarkable demonstration of political will. By establishing a global monitoring framework based on nine voluntary benchmarks, and assessments of 25 risk factors and indicators, we have taken a historic next step towards global action to prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other NCDs. I take great pride in the role of the United States in helping direct this effort, and in the end achieving a comprehensive approach to this significant global health challenge.

The U.S. House Foreign Affairs subcommittee held a hearing last week on India's missing girls. In today's Washington Times, Chris Smith, Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Jersey and chair of the hearing, discusses the connection between sex-selective abortions and India's massive problem with physical and sexual abuse of females.
The roots of the present problem lie not only with cultural factors, such as the demand for dowries paid by the bride's family, but also misbegotten policy decisions. These include population-control programs such as sex-selection abortion schemes that were hatched in the United States by Planned Parenthood, the Population Council and others, which have had a disproportionately negative impact on India's women.

How You Can Help the IWW General Defense Committee:
- Join the GDC.
- Pay Your GDC Dues Online.
- Start your own GDC Local or an International GDC Group.
GDC Locals are listed throughout our Branches Page among IWW General Membership and Industrial Union Branches.
The Mission Statement - GDC Preamble
The aims of this organization shall be to provide defense and relief to members of the working class who are being persecuted for their activity in the class struggle.
Coordinating our efforts will enable the General Defense Committee to oppose the vicious onslaught of the master class with a powerful defense, especially when labor is engaged in industrial strife.
It has been found in past labor struggles that the lack of adequate defense has resulted in many of the most active fighters for labor being arrested and imprisoned for long periods of time or being legally murdered by the employing class.
It shall be the purpose of the General Defense Committee to aid those who find themselves persecuted by the powers that be in their struggle for justice and freedom.
It shall also be the purpose of the General Defense Committee to publish and distribute literature exposing the false and reactionary propaganda of the master class.
By organizing the many and centralizing their efforts in each instance, labor will be given the protection of the entire working class, thereby making an injury to one the concern of all.
Goals of the General Defense Committee
The GDC of the IWW wants most to provide support to any member of the working class who finds themselves in legal trouble due to their involvement in the class war.
Any member of the IWW or GDC in good standing may petition the GDC for direct aid in their legal defense on charges resulting from protests, picketing, or other acts related to job action or activist causes. This aid may include bail, bond, or legal aid, and may take the form of a grant or a no interest loan. Members may also rest assured of solidarity from the organization, including motions of support, letters writing, and public education as to the case (or cases) in question.
Non-members of the IWW or GDC who find themselves embattled with the law may also expect solidarity from the organization, including motions of support, letters writing, and public education as to the case (or cases) in question.

Funny that you posted those links, Peter, because I googled 'Appian Way pizza' right after I mentioned it here. I hadn't thought about it in years, and I had no idea if they still made it, so I had to find out. Have you ever used it before?
It looks like you did quite well. Can you critique your own pizza in relation to a real Donatos pepperoni pizza as you last recalled it?
Do you recall anything about the source of the Donatos pepperoni or was that information concealed by the packaging of ingredients from the commissary?
I honestly believe this disparity is a result of my longer bake time because I used precisely the same ingredient weights that Donatos uses for sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, as well as probably half an ounce more dough than Donatos uses for 14 pizzas.
From your discussion, it sounds like the pizza assemblers at Donatos weighed the items that go onto a pizza. Is that so, and, if so, what kinds of scales or system was used to do this?
Does that help?
Waz,If I am not mistaken, this is the latest version of the Donatos clone dough recipe you have been using.
there is a lot of information in this thread. can someone draft up a more detailed process and ingredient list? to achieve something similar to what people have made using the various recipes in this thread? i'd imagine someone already has it but maybe just hasn't shared it with everyone.that would be awesome!thanks!!

Peter - Do you have a favorite go-to recipe for NY Style in your Cuisinart? I have a conventional oven with a stone and 47 lbs of 13% protein flour 8-)Reply 31 on the master Lehmann thread looks like it might be a good place to start - have you any other/better ideas?
first i puted the flour in the food p. bowl ( 85% of it) and all the dry ingredients salt, sugar dissolved cy in water and added the water with the yeast gradually

Write up by Gianna SanFilippo of Chic Celebrations:
When I first saw the paper, I was with Mary and Jill and immediately we all started throwing words out. Moroccan, opulent, elegant, colorful… With that, the ideas started flowing. As I started curating the idea and pulling pictures of inspirations, it became clear that this was not a "soft, blush colored" shoot. We wanted bold color, bold statements and bold pieces. I liked the idea of using golds and brasses to accent the metallic in the paper. I wanted the table to feel like a family style feast. We incorporated vibrant fruits like Kiwi, Blood Orange, Pomegranate and Tangerines not only as color accents but as edible table elements. Jay's Catering created a blood orange and mint libation as well as a blood orange and pistachio salad that was not only colorful, but was also delicious! Aly from The Vine's Leaf seriously nailed it with her large, bright blooms and those brass lanterns were to die for. They were the perfect metal compliment to the paper. I liked the idea of using rich woods and vibrant pieces in the furniture, so the dining tables and mid-century modern lounge fromArchive Rentals was perfect. Jill (her talent has no end, truthfully) created a flower hairpiece for the bride. And it was a perfect pop. I really wanted to show brides that if you find an element you really like, you can incorporate that inspiration anywhere in your wedding. Your table, your hair, in a commissioned art piece, even directly onto your cake. Your wedding is all about you and your story, so if you find something that is reminiscent of you and your style – use it!!

Psychotherapy is the primary treatment for dissociative disorders. This form of therapy, also known as talk therapy, counseling or psychosocial therapy, involves talking about your disorder and related issues with a mental health provider.
Your therapist will work to help you understand the cause of your condition and to form new ways of coping with stressful circumstances. Over time, your therapist may help you talk more about the trauma you experienced, but generally only when you have the coping skills and relationship with your therapist to safely have these conversations.
Although there are no medications that specifically treat dissociative disorders, your doctor may prescribe antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications or antipsychotic medications to help control the mental health symptoms associated with dissociative disorders.

Have a Heart - Page 2
In a nutshell, you want to train at varying levels of intensity to accomplish different things. You can gauge these intensity levels using your own feedback and experience (trainers use the term Perceived Level of Exertion), or gauge intensity by monitoring your heart rate, which gives you the advantage of precision and eliminates a lot of subjectivity.
How do you monitor your heart rate?
Ever see someone at the trailhead after a run with two fingers held up to the carotid artery taking their pulse? Well, that's one way. I can churn my own butter too, but I'm not Amish so I'll kick it up a notch technologically speaking.
To get started, purchase a heart-rate monitor. Several manufacturers offer them, including Polar, Timex, Suunto and Nike. Monitors have two pieces, a strap you wear around your chest to capture your heart rate and a receiver, typically a watch. You can get all kinds of bells and whistles, e.g. altimeter, calories burned, PC-synch capabilities, compass and barometric pressure, but all you need is one that displays your heart rate and the time.
Now, let's splash some water on our faces and learn how to use this new toy. During HRT you will target various intensity training zones, sometimes keeping your heart rate within a certain zone to build aerobic capacity, other times seeking a more vigorous zone to build speed. These zones can be calculated using two main methods: maximum heart rate and lactate threshold.
Maximum heart rate
You may have heard that to find your maximum heart rate you subtract your age from 220. Actually, this method is a wild guess, like estimating your shoe size is the same distance from your elbow to your wrist. The equation was uncovered in the 1930s by finding the maximum heart rate of a variety of individuals, some smokers, some trained, some sick and so forth, and then a line was drawn down the middle to find an average of the general population. Purge that equation from your memory.
The most reliable way to determine your absolute maximum heart rate is to run till you have a heart attack, but since that ruins the weekend, we're going to approximate it using a far more accurate method called lactate threshold (LT). Put a cool washcloth on your head, this gets more involved than the 220-minus-age estimate.
Lactate threshold
So what is lactate threshold? Well, it all has to do with something you may have heard of: lactic acid. During low-intensity exercise, your muscles produce lactate (commonly referred to as lactic acid, although chemically different, close enough for our discussions), and your body absorbs it back, keeping the overall concentration in the blood low. As your exercise intensity increases, your muscles produce more lactate than your body can absorb and the concentration in your blood goes up.
This point where the body can't keep up with the lactate production is called the lactate threshold and is the highest exercise intensity that a person can maintain for about 30 minutes. The more time you train above this point, the greater the imbalance between what your body can absorb and what your muscles are producing, and eventually it will cause you to slow or stop.

The Joys We Live ForPosted Thursday, December 8, 2011, at 9:07 AM
Joys will come to you/back to you. Some small, some so immense they will take your breath away. Some that you think would be great, will be less. Then something will come along so slight, and give you the greatest hope for more. You will be able to look at it, and see for the first time thru your own eyes, that "this" is something to live for.
What we 'live' for changes as we age. As a teenage girl, a boyfriend is consuming. As a bride, her husband. As a young mother, the soft rosy cheek of a newborn waking up in the morning, and later, tiny fingers curling around yours and bright blue/brown (I had both colors) eyes looking up adoringly at you. Later, feeling the belly move under my hand of my Daughter's first child, wondering what joys lay ahead. I thought I was about as happy as I could be.
My daughter honored me by sharing that moment with me, while Austin came into this world. The delivery was a bit rough, and I was scared, having lost a child at birth. At times, fears for my children are over whelming, and when I'm scared for them, I'm at times irrationally screaming inside my head. I've never ever been one to speak much of my fears, but if you could hear in my head..... I saw the fear in my daughter's eyes, while I smiled down at her and told her she was doing great, and promised all would be well. Praying to God that he make it so. And when Austin appeared in that room, where 5 people had been, making the population 6, my heart sang! If you've ever had the opportunity to share in a moment such as that, please realize, it's an honor that should never be taken lightly. That evening, while I held my first Grandson in my arms, I dreamed of spending time with this amazing gift from God. I thought I was as happy as I could possibly be.
Those first years with Austin, we played and I sang silly songs to him. I'd sit in the yard and watch him learn in the grass, and wear his little CarHart Overalls and such cute little shoes. I bought him his first McDonald's Happy Meal, and sat and watched him try to eat it. My daughter was finishing her college. I thought I was about as happy as I could be.
I watched Cash come into this world also and introduced him to his big Brother. Happier still.
My son raised the bar on Happiness. He met Jessica Miller the day before Thanksgiving 6 years ago, and it was pretty obvious, that now I had another daughter, and a bonus Grand daughter, Jillian. Seriously, How happy can a person become? When Jess let me be present for the birth of my Grandson Bryce, and I saw these 3 men come together for this moment....I knew...I can be even happier.
I was a single woman, living these joys on my own. I was happy, because I had a great supportive family and friends. It was what I wanted. I took myself on some vacations, with friends who made me happy and I took my son also. I loved those vacations and I was happy to have those experiences.
Acapulco, goofing off with my friend
My first time on a cruise ship. Oh man, I was excited and immediately hooked!
Joey's 1st Cruise his Senior YR in HS. I realize not every Mom takes her youngest son on a cruise. But he had that experience, and I wouldn't want him not to have
Cozumel with the Corders
Grand Cayman, I took my son to Hell and Back
Ziplining in Jamaica, amazing fun!
Xtapa & Manzanillo
Wayne and I became a couple somewhat in spite of ourselves. We went to High School together, right here in Mountain Home. So obviously I knew him. Though I had 'plans' of being independent, one day, I flip flopped ... and accepted this Man into my life. It's a happiness I wouldn't want to be without. Now in my old age, I will have someone to fight over the remote with.
I could go on and on about what will make us happiest. I have 8 Grandchildren now and one on the way! But the fact is, we don't really know what the greatest happiness will be. I've lived in the same house now for over 22 years. It's small and humble, and it's certainly been full of joy and happiness over the years. Never assume that the joy you feel now, is as good as it gets. Along with that, also know without doubt, that the despair you may be feeling now, is not permanent. It can seem to "go on forever" and cause you such physical pain that getting out of bed in the morning is next to impossible. Sadly, it may not be as bad as it gets. But it's not permanent. Ever.
Life seems so cruel sometimes, I can't say why. But what I've come to know, without a shadow of a doubt, is that life is meant for living. You have to open your eyes to the little things. They are there for the looking at. If you don't have a family to go to, develop an extended family. Some of them can be so much more than you can ever have imagined in your wildest desperate dreams. I have friends who have cried beside me, for me, because of me. As I have them.
Over the years, I've lost friends who I thought were forever friends. I'm not saying why, but when I realized what I realized, I was able to 'walk away' and never look back wishing for them to be part of my life. You've all had those people in your lives, and they can drag you down. Let them go, and open up your eyes/heart for welcoming someone/something new. I always tell my children (and some day I'm sure I'll tell Grandchildren) that friends and family are NOT supposed to make life harder for you. Once in a while, they can be disagreeable, but it shouldn't be a lifestyle of worry for you. Friends and family are meant to support you and lift you up. Just as you have to have that dedication to them. Whether family or not, if you have to walk away, so be it. Don't threaten it. Don't hang it over them. And don't do it over spilled milk.
Look for joy, and accept it. Bring joy to others, so they can accept it.
I really have no idea what is going to make me the "Happiest" But I have come to know, that I have no idea how happy I can be. Each time the bar is raised higher, and I just accept and hopefully appreciate each and every person that has brought an ounce to me. The teenage girl that I was, had no idea really, what true happiness was. I remember at times, she just wanted a new pair of jeans or maybe a new car. None of that was what really gave me warmth. But I was not wrong to want those things.
Life is meant to appreciate. Children for me are a life Saver. I really can't think that they wouldn't be for everyone, if allowed. They KNOW how to enjoy! They will try to catch a butterfly, but if they can't, it's OK. They'll stick their tongue out to catch a SnowFlake. And then they'll swear it takes sweet. When you walk away, they might throw a loop around your head ...(cuz you taught them how), or a snow ball will plop on your back. Don't be mad.... be thankful.
Roy's blog made me think of these things....and I thought I'd share these thoughts.

This is just beautiful. I was fortunate to be present at my three granchildren's births. It was an awesome thing!
KaeLynn was long and skinny. And we didn't get to hold her much because she was premature. Every day, we marveled at her toughness and how beautiful she was. She had the longest legs that I had ever seen on a baby.
Nathaniel came out making noise. His eyes were wide open and he looked around for 1 1/2 after he was born. At the moment of birth, he looked straight at me and the doctor.
I didn't get a front row seat at Gavin's birth, but I was there and was able to hold him after they cleaned him up. He had some little laugh going for over 20 minutes even the nurses commented on it.
We are so blessed. Thank you Jessie for the wonderful blog. I am going to share it when I get home.

Somehow, someway, I almost always find something in life to give me a smile. Yup, sometimes you have to look for it, but IT is out there. God Bless you Jessie.

Roy, this blog is somewhat dedicated to you. You really made me think deeply about happiness...and what makes you happy. Every year, it seems, it changes.
Obviously, this is dedicated to my friends and family. I have a great support system in place. I hope this is a comfort to someone who may need it. Or just a pleasure to read.
-- Posted by jessiemiller on Thu, Dec 8, 2011, at 7:50 PM
Why thank you Jessie. Like I've said, this is a sort of therapy for me. I'm sure that at least one person will comfort from your beautiful blog.

I missed my only grandson's birth in part because my only daughter had been in labor for 30 some hours and my oxygen tank is only good for about 4 hours. That's my excuse anyway. The truth is that I was not sure I had done right by raising her the way I did and didn't, if that makes sense. She was on her own for this one, which is what I wanted for both of us.
I'm am sure that I can't atone for the times I wasn't around for her, but the little man is three years old now and has her pulling at her hair most of the time but will mind poppa in a heartbeat, so I'm thinking it's all good.
Thanks for the blog, Jessie, I will pass it on to Brandi.

WH, I think maybe we all have regrets about our child rearing skills. I thinnk I might have been too strict,.... Wish I had lightened up a bit. But on the other hand, I have great children, who have grown to adults that make me proud. And they spend time hanging out with me, so they have no regrets that are too bad.
Thanks for your comment!

Woodstove/fireplace with a water jacket for hydronic floorThursday, May 14th, 2009
I am looking at replacing a traditional fireplace with a wood stove insert that can be used in a hydronic floor system.
I looked over your article on the fireplace you installed in your home and have spoke to and web searched for wood stoves that circulate water for heated floors and find only the "long burners" for outside or commercial "furnaces", nothing that would be appropriate for a great room/ranch application. Can you point me toward manufacturers that have this type of product?
Thank you.
Mark J. Bechtel
As I mentioned in answers to similar questions to this web site, most of these manufacturers have gone out of business due to not being able to meet new regulations and codes related to wood-fired boilers. There are several web sites that describe how to build your own, but installers are switching to the outdoor models for safety.
I feel our hydronic fireplace system is very safe, but I have included both a temperature and a separate pressure relief valve, and a way to keep the pump working if there is a power outage. Many of these early systems were well made but the piping systems were poorly designed and installed.
Hope this helps,
Jeff Yago

Twenties flapper look for African American women
This crop with waves brings back the flapper look of the 20's, when women enjoyed a mix and match of boyishly short hair, full make-up and flirty dresses. Here, chocolate brown African-American hair is cropped very short, then smoothed and styled flat against the scalp. A part on one side allows for finger waves to be created on the bigger section of hair, hugging the forehead, while smaller waves are left on the other side.

For your Good Friday contemplation, our friends at FaithLife, the biweekly news bulletin of the Diocese of Erie, Pa., sent in a story as well as a video on an artist and an art professor working on new hand-made mosaic Stations of the Cross for a local parish. The story can be accessed here (it's in .pdf format but can be read by magnifying the page), but perhaps more interesting is the accompanying video showing how the mosaics were created.

"It can be a massive effort to track down a problem in a large service area when you don't know where to start looking. The Distribution Fault Anticipator (DFA)'s monitoring capability alerted us to the fault and narrowed down the search area tremendously. With information from DFA, the job of tracking down a problem goes from something gargantuan to something manageable in a hurry.
