Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
In short: LOVED it!In full: Atmosphere was electric. No part of the course is lacking support. So well organised but a bit of a trek for the last waves to the start line.the start is a little slow but overall it's a flat to downhill race so you can catch up missed time quite easily. Not particularly scenic but the last drop to the sea is gorgeous. Great amount of water, energy drinks and people giving out jelly babies etc along the way. Just be careful not to tread on a bottle as you're running. It gets pretty full out there. The wait for the metro back can be a but long. Overall this is well up there for the best race out there. Date of review: May 11, 2015
In short: All hype I'm afraidIn full: I actually did it in 2014 but this isn't on the RW site. It is all hype. Its my local race so I was really looking forward to it. Nearly missed the start with the longest toilet queues I have ever seen, some runners may have missed the start by about 30 minutes....once you pass over the Tyne bridge it is dual carriageway all the way until the coast. Too big, literally couldn't move and got a PW (personal worst). Bus back from Shields to Newcastle got lost and nearly attempted to take a double decker under a low bridge....before dropping us in the middle of Newcastle, much to the surprise of non-locals who had no idea where they were. After having ran the great South run which sets its runners off in separate discrete waves, I was very disappointed. Date of review: October 15, 2014
In short: Not Quite What I ExpectedIn full: Wanted to run this one more than any other, as it's the greatest Half in the world. Had some fantastic support from the people of Newcastle, I've never seen such a friendly crowd. What let it down though, was the overnight accomodation, we were directed to the wrong building for the sleepover, a last minute change of venue meant we had no where to park, they kept the lights on all night for health and safety making it hard to sleep, and they closed the sports centre at 5pm on the day of the race, making it difficult to retrieve our belongings in time. The company that provided the sleepover were also supposed to provide us with transport to the city but we were unable to locate the bus that we'd paid for, and when I phoned them the next day they simply blamed us for not looking harder. A near riot at the baggage buses meant that the police had to be brought in to control the very angry crowd after their bags were taken off the buses and thrown into a big pile in a tent. The BBC only really cared about the elite runners, so don't tell your relatives to look out for you on the box, they'll be wasting their time. Hotel accomodation is usually booked up before the ballot. Recommend parking in South Shields, sleep in your car, take a bus to the start the next day and leave your baggage in the boot, one person I know did that, it worked out well. Not a race I will be running again, but thanks to the people of Newcastle for your support. Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: GreatIn full: Really good fun. Massive race but really well organised. Seeing Olympic stars was a bonusDate of review: February 4, 2013
In short: Electric race! Do it at least once!In full: LOVE this race. Big crowds, celebs, the Red Arrows, televised live on the BBC, fantastic fun whether you're going for a PB or just wanting to do your first half.It's a big race, very big - about 45,000 runners, but it copes well (you start on the motorway), plenty of space, facilities (not too long to wait for the loos, no queue for bag drop). A long wait before you actually get over the line, though, but there's plenty of anticipation.The route has some great parts, such as over the Tyne Bridge (early on - after a few miles) and through some of the nicer residential areas, but a lot is on motorways and dual carriage ways, and through industrial areas. Somewhat undulating, but nothing major.Best bit is mile 10 onwards when the crowds really come out and depending on your time the Red Arrows are doing (another) display which you can see a long way off. The final mile is amazing, a nice downhill and then flat along the seafront in front of huge crowds.Finish area is very well organised, with spacious areas for collecting drinks, goodie bags, tag removal etc before entering the Charity and Runner's village. Only drawback was some of the baggage buses were unable to get through to the finish due to the emergency services needing the road so some of the bags were late (I had a bit of a wait for mine).If you are travelling and staying over, make the most of the Saturday to watch the City Games and enjoy the kid's race, expo and pasta party - the city is practically taken over by the Great North Run! If you get a hotel in the city centre, most hotels will lay on minibuses to the start, or get a taxi if you don't want to walk there about 2-3 miles. The walk from the finish to South Shields is easy and takes about 20 minutes, but beware the very long queues for the metro, and don't expect to be able to sit down on the rammed-full train back to the city centre!I think everyone should do this once, and if you love crowds, try and go for it more than once, it's a lot of fun!Date of review: February 3, 2013
In short: FANTASTICIn full: My first experience of any kind of organised race and was I Overwhelmed what a great experience for both myself and family who came to watch Definately me doing more of these!!!!!!!!!Date of review: January 17, 2013
Date of review: November 2, 2012
In short: The GNR is an institution of Mass Participating BrillianceIn full: Been doing it every year for the last 9 years. Around 50k runners so it can bottle-neck in a couple of places but on the whole one of the most important races on Uk calender. Love it. Average runners watch the last 3 miles - they can suck the life out of your legs! Try and save a bit to get you thru Mile 11Date of review: October 23, 2012
In short: Great AgainIn full: Liked this better than last year due to the organisation at the start, made the run easier.Great finish and made good friends again.Date of review: October 18, 2012
In short: Always Special In full: Still my favourite, and always will be. It was a bit cold and wet this year but this didn't dampen the atmosphere and the supporters were out with enough energy to fuel a power station. If you ever do one race in your life, do this one.

For sawing wood. A power miter saw is one of the best tools to cut tight-fitting joints on all kinds of moldings: window and door trim, baseboard and crowns. With a power miter saw and a sharp saw blade, it's easy to fine-tune a joint for a perfect fit by slightly adjusting the angle or trimming off a hair's width.
- Use with wood only, please!
Lift the blade guard with your thumb and sight down one edge of the blade to align your cut. Caution: Remove your fingers from the switch while you're aligning the cut. Firmly hold or clamp the workpiece. Then gradually release the blade guard and return your hand to the switch to make your cut.
Be prepared for a startling experience the first time you squeeze the switch on a power miter saw. The saw will jerk and whine as the blade gets up to speed. Listen for the blade to reach top speed before starting your cut. Then lower the blade slowly and steadily through the board until the cut is complete. Hold the saw carriage down in this position and release the switch, allowing the blade to come to a complete stop before raising it. Maintain a firm grip on the workpiece until the blade stops spinning. Aligning the blade with the cutting mark on your workpiece gets easier with practice. Cut a little beyond the line, leaving extra length on your workpiece. Test the fit Then slice off a little more. Keep a firm grip on the workpiece (with your hand a good 6 in. away from the blade) to prevent it from being pushed aside by the blade. For greater accuracy, clamp the workpiece.
Cutting short pieces requires special techniques Whenever you have to cut miters on a piece less than about 8 in. long, cut them from a longer piece so you can keep your fingers in the safe zone away from the blade. If you need a 6-in. piece of baseboard with miters on both ends, for example, cut one miter on the end of a long piece of base. Then mark for the other miter, change the miter saw angle, and cut off the 6-in. piece while you hold the longer end. Very small pieces fall through the large gap in the fence on many saws and can easily break or be flung across the room. Photo 3 shows one solution. Sometimes it's helpful to screw a taller wood fence to your miter saw to support wide trim and reduce the size of the space near the blade. The fence has holes that are just for this purpose.
The following is a list of safety precautions to consider with cutting with a miter saw:
- Eye and ear protection are required when operating a miter saw.
- Don't wear gloves, loose clothing, jewelry, or any dangling objects when operating a miter saw.
- All guards must be in place and operating. If a guard seems slow to return to its normal position or hangs up, adjust it or repair it immediately.
- Unplug or lockout power to the miter saw when making repairs or adjusting blades and guards
- Hands and fingers must be kept clear of the blade by at least 6 in.
- Clean the lower guard frequently to help visibility and movement.
- Use only the recommended blade size.
- Regularly check and tighten the blade and the blade-attachment mechanism.
- Ensure that the blade and its related washers and fasteners are correctly positioned and secured on the saw's arbor.
- To avoid losing control or placing hands in the blade path, hold or clamp all material securely against the fence when cutting.
- Do not perform operations freehand.
- Never cut small pieces.
- Long material should be supported at the same height as the saw table.
- To avoid contact with a coasting blade, do not reach into the cutting area until the blade comes to a full stop.
- After completing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop, then raise the blade from the workpiece. If the moving blade stays in the cutting area after the cutting is complete, injury can result from accidental contact.

We have friends coming in from out of town (probably). If I want to make my standard 24-48 hour dough can I speed it up by just leaving it out on the counter until it doubles then stick it in the fridge until I need it? If the flavor is 80% of normal I can baffle them with toppings Now that I think of it, the texture is more important to me than the flavor. It's the texture I frequently find disappointing when I get focaccia out. It's either dense and leaden or really puffy.Thanks!Dave

Panning was "a significant source of income" for an estimated 600,000 Zimbabweans, according to a 2005 study.the government —responding to pressure from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund — implemented Zimbabwe's Economic Structural Adjustment Program in the early 1990s. The program of privatization, deregulation, and reduced export subsidies caused dramatic job losses and poverty, leaving many workers scrambling for an informal livelihood.
Despite arrests, no panner has been convicted of illegal possession of precious minerals since the penalty was increased.Zimbabwe President Mugabe assented to legislation that imposes a sentence of at least five years on anyone convicted of illegally dealing in or possessing precious stones. Early this fall, police announced that they had arrested 9,656 diamond panners and recovered 1,912 diamonds worth quadrillions of inflated Zimbabwean dollars in the Chiadzwa area since January.

Charlie Penson Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, last month members of Parliament received a letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs indicating that the passport process would be streamlined and that the lengthy delays experienced since September 11 would be minimized.
To date there has been little or no improvement. My staff must deal with ever increasing casework on passports that now represent over 40% of my constituency work.
Frustrated constituents are anxious as to whether they will have their passports or have to forfeit their vacations. In many cases, passports only arrive the day before or the same day of travel. This creates considerable stress for all concerned. My office is also having difficulty accessing accurate information on these files.
Enough is enough. This situation is unacceptable and must be improved.
Environment Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Andy Scott Fredericton, NB
Mr. Speaker, I was extremely disappointed to hear the news that Environment Canada intends to move its forecast centre from Fredericton to Halifax. This will remove from the New Brunswick Weather Centre its primary function: providing weather forecasts and severe weather warnings for New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
In addition to providing that service, the New Brunswick Weather Centre provides 24 hour a day bilingual service, not only for New Brunswick but for the entire Atlantic region.
While I am pleased that the portion of the weather service that addresses environmental protection and conservation will remain in our province, I regret the extent of personnel change that the move from Fredericton will involve. I feel New Brunswickers are entitled to a more comprehensive service from within.
For those reasons I will continue to work with my colleagues, who represent the other eight offices affected, to convince the minister and Environment Canada to reconsider their position and keep the forecast centre in New Brunswick.
World Tuberculosis Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Svend Robinson Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is World Tuberculosis Day. On this important day the World Health Organization has announced the achievement of a major milestone in global efforts to fight the resurgent epidemic of tuberculosis.
Over 10 million TB patients have now been successfully treated under DOTS, the internationally recommended TB control strategy. Of these, more than 90% live in developing countries where the disease causes the most suffering, economic loss and death.
I would note as well that the TB epidemic is growing unabated in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is closely linked to HIV-AIDS and poverty, and in many of the newly independent states arising after the breakup of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, where it is exacerbated by poverty and social disruption. In some high HIV countries of sub-Saharan Africa, TB rates have quadrupled since the mid-1980s and threaten to overwhelm well established control programs.
Today I am calling on the Canadian government to put more resources into the global fight against tuberculosis and also to recognize that aboriginal communities in Canada and northern communities have rates of tuberculosis that are in many cases devastatingly high.
Action Week Against Racism
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday was the last day of Action Week Against Racism. Created in March 2000 by a group of some 20 Quebec organizations, the aim of this week is to demystify racism and raise the level of understanding about this problem to better fight the phenomenon.
These days, racism is particularly noticeable in the work force. It is mostly women and visible minorities who are still the targets of discrimination. The latest statistics from Statistics Canada prove this. Recent immigrants earn much less than their Canadian-born counterparts, even ten years after they have been here. This is as much a problem for immigrants who are not well educated as for those who have a university degree.
Quebec has the most innovative policies to address all forms of racism. The Bloc Quebecois would like to congratulate the Government of Quebec for the inclusive measures it has put in place.
Achievement in Geography
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure and privilege to stand in the House and recognize outstanding Canadians and their achievements. Today I rise to acknowledge one such remarkable individual, Dr. Barry Wellar, professor of geography at the University of Ottawa.
The Association of American Geographers recently awarded Barry Wellar the James R. Anderson Medal of Honour in Applied Geography in recognition of a lifetime of achievement in applied geographic research and implementation.
For over 40 years Barry Wellar has pioneered research into projects ranging from satellite imagery and remote sensing to rural and urban development. I am proud to have had Barry Wellar contribute to the work of the Prime Minister's caucus task force on urban issues last year. He has brought the science of applied geography into public policy. His knowledge and expertise is sought the world over.
I ask members to join with me in congratulating Professor Barry Wellar on his special medal of honour.

Progressive Conservative
Loyola Hearn St. John's West, NL
Mr. Speaker, the government is becoming famous for its downloading. The government downloads on the provinces, the provinces download on the municipalities, and the municipalities are left with the horrendous debts.
In relation to the infrastructure program, in the recent budget we heard an announcement of $3 billion for infrastructure. It sounds like a lot of money until we are told that $1 billion goes to special projects and $2 billion is spread over ten years; ten years spread across the country does very little.
Again, it is a government of downloading and downsizing. Let us hope that the people of Canada take a lesson and start downsizing the government opposite.
Canadian Firearms Program
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierrette Venne Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, since the beginning, the application and management of the firearms program has been nothing but a comedy of errors and administrative blunders. The negligence of the Minister of Justice and the officials who report to him could only have led straight to the financial disaster that was revealed last fall by the Auditor General.
Instead of trying to make changes to the program, changes that are cosmetic, the government should instead suspend it immediately in order to thoroughly clean up the mess and finally put an end to this waste of public money.
I therefore invite all members, government and opposition alike, to vote against granting an additional $59 million to the Canadian firearms program tomorrow.
Sports Awards
Statements By Members
March 24th, 2003 / 2:10 p.m.
Walt Lastewka St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this occasion to congratulate St. Catharines Athlete and Sportsperson of the Year recipients Liz Earley and Joe Corrigan.
In July 2002 Liz Earley won the Whirlpool Canadian PGA Women's Championship tournament at the St. Catharines Golf and Country Club, a course where she had been a member for 23 years, and in front of her friends and parents, Dave and Glenda Earley. Liz is a former scholarship golfer at the University of Central Florida and has been a professional golfer for 10 years. She finished the year at 14 on the Futures Tour money list, made 17 of 18 cuts and had three top 10 finishes.
Joe Corrigan has worked tirelessly to promote boxing in the St. Catharines community. Joe is a coach at the St. Catharines Boxing Club and worked to ensure an average of 25 boxing cards each year on the provincial, national and international levels. He also organized the 2002 Canadian Men's and Women's Boxing Championships, which were held for the first time in St. Catharines last year.
On behalf of the House of Commons, I wish to commend both Liz Earley and Joe Corrigan on their fine achievements and for being recognized for those accomplishments by my community, St. Catharines, Ontario.
Child Pornography
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable members. Nowhere is the Liberal anti-family policy more evident than in its defence of child pornographers.
The Canadian Alliance joins with the Canadian Police Association in calling for laws that protect our children from exploitation by older persons, including raising the age of consent to 16 and the need for a national sex offender registry to track all convicted sex offenders released into our neighbourhoods.
It is a tragedy that concerned Canadian parents have to call a U.S. government tip line to report child pornography and other suspicious activities on the Internet when people like Rebecca Warren and David Ellis at BytesCanada Incorporated, from Pembroke, and their tracking team have assisted in 131 arrests in spite of the federal government and could provide a made in Canada service.
It is clear that only a Canadian Alliance government will protect our children.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, on Friday the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not rule out participation in the allied military campaign in Iraq. The government has now had the weekend to reflect on subsequent events and to reconsider its position. Is the government now prepared to stand with our American and British friends for the end of the rule of Saddam Hussein?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Toronto Centre—Rosedale
Bill Graham Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, our position has always been that we believe very strongly that our American colleagues should be engaged in this activity through a multilateral process, which we urge. We continue to urge that conduct. We continue to maintain our policy. We will continue to act in a way which will strengthen the multilateral system because we believe strongly this is the best way that we will have a long term result, which is the benefit for the world and for Canadians.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we do not believe in sacrificing our friends and our interests to a veto of Jacques Chirac.
A reason the government should reconsider its position is that it appears some allied POWs may have been executed by Saddam's soldiers. It is certainly clear that Saddam's treatment of allied personnel is a blatant violation of the Geneva convention. Given these realities, does the government now regret that it is not standing with our American and British friends in the fight against Saddam?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Toronto Centre—Rosedale
Bill Graham Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the very principles the Leader of the Opposition has raised here are principles of international law and those are the very principles that have guided our conduct here today.
One cannot maintain on the one hand that certain behaviour must be in conformity with the international regime and not at the same time work on the multilateral system to make that regime apply. We will continue to work on that. We totally disapprove of any violation of the Geneva conventions. We have always taken and will continue to maintain that policy. We totally disapprove of any conduct that would violate the Geneva conventions.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, two world wars demonstrated that principles do not matter unless one is prepared to fight and stand for them.
Saddam is not just killing allied personnel. He is threatening his own people. He has placed military buildings inside residential areas. We have documented evidence of him using women and children as human shields. These are also violations of the Geneva convention.
When will the government reverse its decision to abandon our allies and fight Saddam?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Toronto Centre—Rosedale
Bill Graham Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the conduct of Canadian men and women in the field in two world wars demonstrated that this country and the people of this country are willing to fight for their principles and have never shied away from a fight, but we are willing to fight under terms which are supported by the Canadian population and which we believe are appropriate in the circumstances, and we will continue to have that conduct in spite of all these attacks from the opposition.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (322 votes).
In short: Better course - Good atmosphere and excellent organisationIn full: Mike - don't beat yourself up just because there are one or two minor complaints. You can always improve on any event and I you already know what to do! You'll never please everybody. The new route is 100% better. The chips allow for a steady safe start without everyone tripping over each other and the city centre section lets everyone sort out an early pace. The undulations make for a nice variation in the course and give your legs a rest (unlike the challenges og the Langdale half). The crowd cheery and marshals/water station assistants were excellent. This event will only go from strength to strength (please keep the course though). Good luck with next year. I'll be there with my wife and anyone else I can pursuade. Date of review: October 23, 2008
In short: A very scenic and well organised race, ideal for beginners.Date of review: October 23, 2008

Will definitely be back next year for another crack. Date of review: October 22, 2008
In short: Great getting into the countryside !In full: I see some runners class it as hilly ! ?... I think it was mildly undulating, and I also expect a wee hill here and there in any 1/2 or full Marathon. Are there really totally flat 1/2 or full Marathons in Britain ?. Well organised, good communication by the Organiser, good crowds,and I would definately consider running it again.Braw ! Date of review: October 22, 2008

Mr. Speaker, the best summary of the budget , and the one we hear most often from people, is how so little could have been done with so much money. The Liberal Party left the government with the best fiscal situation in Canadian history and the Conservativefinance minister has spent the largest amount of money ever, much to the shock of Canadians across the country. The Conservatives cut government programs and expenditures supposedly to be more efficient and now Canadians have learned that the Conservatives have made the greatest expenditures in Canadian history. Many Canadians will not benefit, or will benefit very little, from any of those huge expenditures.
One of the previous speakers today told us about a survey on the finance minister's website asking Canadians if they benefited from the budget. Ninety-three per cent of Canadians apparently said that they had not benefited. Where did all that money go? Why is it not going to those Canadians who really need the help, and who I am sure are part of the 93% who do not feel they have been helped.
It is unprecedented that premiers are screaming that promises have been broken in a budget. When in Canadian history have we ever seen a premier take out a full page ad against a federal finance minister for breaking a promise? Another premier is suggesting he might sue the federal government. The budget is a litany of broken promises. There are a lot of expenditures in it, but not in the way most Canadians think they should be made.
I always try to be balanced in my speeches in the House, so I will try to go over some of the positive things in the budget. I will talk specifically to those things that relate to my area in the north.
We have formula financing in the north. We commissioned a study to look at formula financing and to make recommendations for the future about whether we should go back to a formula or remain on a fixed amount. Fortunately, the government followed the recommendations in the O'Brien report. The result can be found on page 119 of the budget which shows $3 million more this year than the guaranteed minimum allocation that would have been received under the Liberal government. The amount went from $537 million to $540 million. If we compare that $3 million to the $30 million the Liberals put in for economic development, or the $40 million for the northern strategy, it is not a large amount of money, but any increase for the territories is good from my perspective.
In the last election campaign when I was asked what my priorities were, I said that my main priority was to try and keep the status quo. The Liberal government did much for the north. We put in many programs. We provided assistance. As an opposition member, I was hoping to keep as much of that as possible. When the Conservatives were in opposition, they did not applaud those things. I am happy that some of those positive things for the north, and for many parts of Canada for that matter, have been kept in this budget.
Infrastructure is one example. More than $15 million was put into the municipal rural infrastructure fund in my riding and $40 million was provided for the strategic infrastructure fund. For the Canada Games centre $20 million was provided. This was one of the prerequisites for having such a successful Canada Games in the Yukon. The Conservatives have finally agreed that the Liberal infrastructure idea is a good one and have carried on with $25 million in this budget. We are very happy about that.
The Conservatives were skeptical that giving municipalities a gas tax rebate was a good idea. We fought for a long time for the government to keep it as we said we would, and the Conservatives finally agreed in this budget to provide the rebate from 2009 to 2013.
The finance minister did muse that there might be some changes in the conditions. I would like to hear very quickly from the finance minister what those changes are going to be. I am sure municipalities across Canada would like to hear what those changes are going to be. What changes are going to be made to the gas tax? What changes are going to be made to infrastructure funding requirements and conditions?
Those programs were successful and were applauded by municipalities across the country. I certainly hope the money will continue to go to municipalities.
We met with the Nunavut Teachers' Association this morning. There is a big infrastructure need in Nunavut. We hope that recreational facilities will be eligible under the conditions for the continuation of these good programs.
I applaud the setting up of a Canadian mental health commission to produce a mental health strategy. We will be watching very closely to make sure the Conservatives actually do it and that it is not another one of their broken promises.
As was mentioned earlier, there have been a number of broken promises by the government. The one on income trusts is a perfect example. It is inconceivable that the Prime Minister could promise absolutely that the government would never tax income trusts and then totally break that promise. A single mother in my riding told me that based on that promise she transferred her registered education savings into an income trust. Because of that broken promise, she lost a substantial amount of money for her child's education.
I am also supportive of the anti-drug strategy in the budget. We will be watching carefully for the results of that. It is very important for my riding. Sandra Henderson of the Yukon Teachers' Association was here this morning. I was talking to her. She was talking about mothers who use drugs during pregnancy. Doctors are saying it is resulting in children who are angry and who are very disruptive in the classroom. This is obviously unsustainable. We will be watching for a lot of progress on the anti-drug strategy and emphasis on prevention. We want to reduce the number of children with FAS and children who are affected by the use of drugs by the mother during pregnancy and other substance abuse problems.
It is beneficial for my riding that the mineral exploration tax credit of 15% is increased, but only until March 31, 2008. There was a little bit for business. Less paperwork is great. It follows up on the Liberals' initiatives in that area to reduce the paperwork burden for businesses. Although it will not help my riding a lot, the capital cost allowance accelerated write-off for manufacturing is going from seven years down to two. This is positive. A small item for seniors, the RRSP change from 69 to 71 years is good.
The national water strategy in theory is a good idea, but the devil is in the details. What are the details? What will actually help? I will be watching very closely to see if it is treading on the responsibilities of municipalities and provincial governments in dealing with water quality. When the Liberals were in government, we did an audit of all the first nation communities in Canada. We set up a plan for all of them. There are still a number of communities that have serious water problems. The recommendations have not been fully implemented. We will be looking to the government to move as quickly as possible on that, considering that it is now putting an emphasis on a national water strategy.
There are a number of things in the budget of which I am very supportive in the sense that they are there, but how they got there is sad. Previously they were all successful Liberal programs, but the Conservative government cut them or gave no indication the programs would continue. Finally, after lobbying in budget speeches and in committees, we have finally convinced the government, and the people of Canada and the NGOs have finally convinced the government that these are necessary and effective programs that should be carried on. Finally, the programs were reinstated but sadly with a smaller amount of money than they had in the first place and sometimes with a fewer eligible recipients.
A perfect example is the GST rebate. There was an uproar in the tourism industry across Canada. In fact, the cuts affecting the tourism industry have probably hurt my riding more than any other because the Yukon is the one area of Canada with the largest number of employees in tourism in the private sector. It was shocking that the government would take money from the Canadian Tourism Commission which it could have used for marketing and that the government would take away the GST rebate to tourists.
As a result, the tourism industry, as is the case for any group or organization that has limited resources, had to spend this spring fighting along with us to get that reinstated. It is fortunate that at least part of it, but not the full amount, was reinstated in the budget. The part of the program that was being put in place was the ability for conventions and groups coming to Canada to get the GST rebate. There has been some damage done, but hopefully that will be diminished and will not extend into the future. The GST rebate was not restored for individuals travelling to Canada. It is still a burden and a negative mark on our tourism industry.
A whole speech could be given on funding for museums. It is astonishing that such an underfunded part of Canada's heritage, the small museums, went through such tribulations. It is ironic that the money for large museums was increased under the national museums program, but all the small museums, which are so important to tourism across the country, are still underfunded.
There was the horrendous situation a few weeks ago of the attendance of the heritage minister at the museums conference. The conference showed the lack of faith there was in that particular funding area.
Another area I am delighted to see in the budget, but it is sad how it came about, is the aboriginal justice strategy. They are workers in the justice system. The strategy is very important and is one of the few components that is actually working. It is reducing crime. It should be a part of the justice system. That strategy was about to expire. There was no information being given. People were being laid off and projects were closing. In just a few weeks before the strategy was to expire, the government wisely decided to keep the program.
I did not hear the government telling all the police officers in Canada that their funding was expiring and they would have to look for other jobs and start closing up shop, and two or three weeks before the funding expired it was put back. The aboriginal justice strategy is a fundamental part of the justice system. It is very important. It is a tragedy that those people had to go through all that turmoil, and still only receive funding for another two years, I think it is.
The aboriginal justice strategy should be considered in the same light as police officers, prosecutors, defence lawyers, judges and probation officers. It should be a permanent part of the justice system. Canadians are looking to the government to continue the goodwill of extending it by two years by making it permanent funding so that this trauma to our justice system does not happen again. The Conservative Party talks so much about justice. Canadians expect that the Conservative Party would at least be very positive and productive in an area that has been so effective in the justice system.
I am pleased that the meal allowance for truckers was increased to 80% from 50%. This is something for which I had lobbied.
We are also pleased that the ecotrust program was put in place. Once again, this is a perfect example of something the Liberals had put in place, the partnership of the federal government with the provinces and territories to reduce greenhouse gases and emissions. The Liberal government had a $3 billion program. I compliment the Conservative government for restoring the program. However, it was only restored at $1.5 billion which is half the previous amount.
Someone in the Prime Minister's Office suggested when the program was announced that it would be done on a per capita basis. I wrote to the minister of the environment at the time and said that per capita is not sufficient in the north and that we need more than that. The northern premiers made the same case. Fortunately we did get an increase. We are now getting more per capita and we are using that to increase the electrical generation.
The Conservative cuts to literacy programs caused a big outrage across the country. I do not think the Conservatives expected the uproar from all the opposition parties and from the people that work in the literacy field. How could any responsible modern day government in the world cut literacy programs.
Fortunately, some of that money has been reinstated. Some good literacy projects have been approved in my riding and in other areas. Unfortunately, some of those projects have a time limit of one or two years. We will be looking for permanent funding for literacy. Literacy is a basic foundation for a modern society and those programs are necessary for the most vulnerable people in a modern society. Literacy is far more important now than it ever has been. As society becomes more technical, how can the poorest of the poor ever survive without a good grasp of literacy and numeracy.
The homelessness program is another on the huge list of programs that the Liberal government put in place that was very effective and helped out. These programs were cut or cancelled or the suggestion was made they would not be re-funded and, fortunately, with a lot of pressure were put back in place. Thank goodness the homelessness program that was referred to as SCPI under the Liberal government was reinstated and re-funded. I am not sure about the rest of the country, but in my particular area that is one of the most successful programs the government has ever put in place. It is very important.
Another area that I guess one could give a very small compliment for is child care. As we know, the Liberal government negotiated a $5 billion agreement with the provinces across the country. It was unprecedented that this kind of agreement could be reached for something that is very important, especially for single mothers and people who really need support in child care.
The Conservative government, as we know, promised $250 million, which is a lot less than $5 billion, to industry to create day care spaces. It found over the last year that it could not create one single space and it did not work, so it has transferred that to the provinces and territories, thank goodness. Any citizen watching can see that $250 million compared to $5 billion is a small amount. Yukon will certainly be looking forward to getting its portion, but it had already received $1.3 billion from the Liberal government. This is a small amount and Yukon certainly will not reject it, but it should certainly be a lot more.
Another area is education. It has been talked about a lot in the debate so far. I want to talk about one aspect of education and that is undergraduate students. I congratulate the government for providing scholarships for graduate students, but all the undergraduate students listening should remember that had the Liberals been elected, they would have been receiving $3,000, up to a half year's tuition for their first year of education, and in their last year of education, up to $3,000. That is $6,000.
What did they get under the Conservative government in last year's budget: a textbook. I checked with a bookstore and the amount the government gave on the textbook rebate would not even buy some of the textbooks in the store. That is a good indication of the scope of things in this budget and what is there for people.
Another good thing that the Conservatives finally put back was the Liberal program to take the working poor off social assistance. I commend them for that, but it is a far less amount of money than the amount the Liberals put in.
Finally, I want to talk about the north. The last government put tremendous emphasis on the north and I have to commend it for that, specifically the $40 million for the northern strategy and the direction that all departments in the north have a special place in Confederation. They are very important to Confederation and were given that emphasis. The only promises the Conservative government made to the north were for icebreakers and a northern port. What happened to those two promises? They vanished. They are not in the budget anywhere.
Probably the biggest disappointment that has been mentioned by many people is the lack of funding for aboriginal people. I do not think I have enough time left to go through the whole list but there was roughly $440 million. That is a tiny amount compared to the $9 billion or $10 billion which was the normal budget for Indian Affairs. The Liberals were not going to add $440 million but $5 billion in Kelowna, plus $2 billion for residential schools.
Where is the money for the increase in inflation and for the increase in the population of aboriginal people? The Conservatives cancelled the aboriginal procurement program and aboriginal languages program. Those programs lost all sorts of money. Other programs that aboriginal people used, like the non-smoking strategy, were all cancelled. I do not have to add what everyone else has said about it being such a disgrace.
There was the ANCAP program for aboriginal people to reduce emissions. There is a community in Kluane that wanted to use that program. It is gone.
In summary, there are a few good things in the budget, but as I said at the beginning, most people are asking how could spending so much money get so little results for the people of Canada?
When Canadians are filling out their income tax returns right now at home, they are looking at last year's schedule 1 where it shows they were getting charged 15% income tax on the first amount of money and this year's schedule 1 it shows 15.25%. They are wondering how could all this money be spent, the largest expenditure in history, and they get an increase in income tax, especially the most vulnerable people in society. Why should they have that increase in their income tax rate?
Budget Implementation Act, 2007
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague across on his speech and his focus on the north.
In the budget, fairness was addressed in a number of ways, but I do not think fairness was addressed in terms of the northern residents tax deduction. It was mentioned in this budget but for 18 years, under the Liberals, there were no cost of living increases to the northern residents tax deduction and that has left it in a position where the benefit is not worth nearly what it was in the beginning.
The Conservatives recognized that they needed to raise the lifetime capital gains exemption from $500,000 to $750,000 because it had not been done for 20 years. The same thing applies to the tax benefits that should be there for northerners. They did not do anything about it and the Liberals did not do anything about it for 18 years.
I have a question for my hon. colleague. How does he feel about being in a government that ignored this very important part of the northern benefits structure for so many years and how can he ensure that we get this back on the agenda to make sure that northerners are treated fairly in the tax system for a change?
Budget Implementation Act, 2007
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Larry Bagnell Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, I would just reiterate what I said in regard to the budget, that the previous government put unprecedented emphasis on the north, with the northern strategy and with having every department look at the north. There was $40 billion for that. There was $30 billion for northern economic development.
The fact is that the Conservatives decreased income taxes not just on the northern living allowance, which fortunately is still in place, but they decreased income taxes for all Canadians, and it has much more of an effect than what the member is talking about.
However, I am glad he raised the point about the added costs in the north, the cost of doing business, the cost of living, and especially the cost for the most vulnerable people in small, isolated communities with small tax bases. They live so far apart they need that assistance. That is why we had to argue in a number of cases, and I am glad the government agreed, that we need more than just per capita funding in a number of these programs. We need base funding to cover the remote harsh climate and then per capita funding on top of that.
Carleton County Spring Show

Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, last week I had the opportunity to attend the Carleton County Spring Show and Sale.
This event, held annually in the Florenceville-Bristol area, brings together people from the county who have raised their calves specifically for this show and auction.
Congratulations to 4-H'r Bethany Boyd from Johnville, the overall grand champion, grand champion Maine-Anjou, and 4-H grand champion.
The Charity Steer donated by the exhibitors raised $6,250 for the Woodstock Cancer Support Group, a very special cause. This group goes above and beyond to provide services that reach out to cancer victims in the Saint John River Valley.
I also want to mention the significant presence of the 4-H in this event. The kids from 4-H made up almost half the entries in the show and a significant number of these young people were grand or reserve champions, not to mention young Stephanie Budd whose animal will be providing the beef on our table for the next while.
I look forward to seeing the 4-H people this week when they arrive on the Hill.
Congratulations to all the organizers and volunteers who make this event happen, and to all the people who took out their wallets to support the exhibitors.

Borys Wrzesnewskyj Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, early Saturday morning past, an angel who walked Toronto's streets departed.
The late June Callwood was a prolific and awarded writer, however, it will not be in the reading salons that the greatest amount of tears shall be shed. June applied most of her boundless energies to repairing the aches of her communities.
An aching void will be felt in places like Nellie's House, where abused women and children found shelter; Jessie's Centre for Teenagers; and Casey House Hospice for people infected with HIV-AIDS.
In the 1980s, in Toronto's rough Queen and Bathurst neighbourhood, I first encountered June's inexhaustible energies and good works, and in recent years I have been honoured to have been able to call June a friend.
June has departed leaving behind thousands of friends and admirers, however, we know that as she passes through heaven's gate there will be thousands there to greet her, the thousands whose dying days were made bearable by her goodness at Casey House Hospice.
National Wildlife Week
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Marcel Lussier Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, National Wildlife Week, which was celebrated from April 8 to 14, raised our awareness about the major climate changes in the north. But we can all help to conserve northern wildlife species. These amazing species and unique ecosystems, which have been around for thousands of years, are now facing the impact of rapid climate change, increasing toxins and growing natural resources development.
We must all realize that our awareness is critical to the conservation of biodiversity and habitats, sustainable development, climate change, invasive species and the recovery of species at risk.
I urge my colleagues to learn about and actively contribute to wildlife conservation in their day-to-day lives.
Operation Nunalivut 07
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to congratulate the men and women of the Canadian Forces and of RCMP Division V who over the past two and a half weeks successfully completed Operation Nunalivut 07.
During this exercise, these brave women and men conducted patrols in one of the most inhospitable and challenging environments our planet has to offer.
In this ambitious exercise, three separate patrols left Resolute Bay, two destined for Canadian Forces Station Alert and one destined for the Alexandra Fiord.
Patrol 1's trek across western Ellesmere Island to CFS Alert was the first patrol to complete this route in its entirety in recorded history.
These operations are crucial to maintaining the sovereignty over our precious northern territory. It is about time that Canada had a government that takes the north seriously.
Canada's new government considers the sovereignty of the north a very serious matter.
I stand in the House today proud that we have a Prime Minister and a Minister of National Defence who are willing to commit the necessary resources to keep our true north strong and free.
Holocaust Memorial Day
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to pay tribute to the innocent victims of the Holocaust, the courageous survivors, the allied troops who freed the camps, and the righteous gentiles who risked and sheltered, saving lives.
But even more importantly, I rise in the House to remind my colleagues that anti-Semitism is still with us, that history will repeat itself unless we learn from it, and to remind our government that vigilance should translate into concrete action.
Canada still does not have a comprehensive strategy to combat anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. At-risk communities still shoulder the burden of extra security, alone.
Remember and act, Mr. Speaker. We must all remember and act.
Marie-Pier Beaudet

2 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to share how proud I am of a 20-year-old woman from Lévis who recently captured her third Canadian archery title, breaking a 23-year-old record in the process.
I am inspired by Marie-Pier Beaudet from Lévis, who also won six gold medals at the Copa Merengue in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a few weeks ago.
Not resting on her laurels, Lévis' star athlete is now in Phoenix for the Arizona Cup International, where she is ranked fifth out of 62.
Achieving that kind of distinction requires a great deal of effort, patience and talent. We would therefore like to highlight Marie-Pier's exceptional achievements, which have earned her a place among archery's best and have made her a role model for all citizens of Lévis-Bellechasse.
Marie-Pier, Lévis' Canadian champion archer, my colleagues and I congratulate her and wish her every success in her future endeavours.
Jackie Robinson
Statements By Members
April 16th, 2007 / 2 p.m.
Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, sixty years ago yesterday, Jackie Robinson broke a major racial barrier when he suited up for the first time in the Brooklyn Dodgers uniform, putting an end to several decades of segregation in major league baseball. Robinson had previously achieved a significant milestone in 1946, when he joined the Montreal Royals and led his team to victory in the Little World Series. He has left Quebec's baseball fans, who quickly took to him, with an undying memory.
Robinson was named rookie of the year in 1947 and best player in 1949. His career included six all-star games and he was the first black player inducted into the Cooperstown Hall of Fame. Besides being a prominent sports figure, Jackie Robinson remains a symbol of courage and dignity for all those who have fought and continue to fight against racism and discrimination.
Today, the Bloc Québécois wants to pay tribute to this athlete who changed the face of professional sports.
Daniel Poirier

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to draw attention to the departure of journalist Daniel Poirier from Radio-Canada's Atlantic Canada news network.
Daniel gave Acadians and Atlantic Canadians a window on the world and understood what they cared about. In his 32-year career as a journalist, Daniel did an exceptional job of showcasing our people. He was their confidant, their ally, and he listened to them.
Thanks to his outstanding work, he helped communicate the concerns of Atlantic Canadians—from francophone rights to the fishing industry, to name but a few—to everyone in this country.
I would like to express my boundless gratitude to Daniel for everything he has done for Acadians, and I wish him every success in his future endeavours. We will always love him, moustache or no moustache.
Bloc Québécois

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, PQ supporters from Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, including an assistant to former Bloc member Yvan Loubier, decided to begin taking steps to get to the bottom of things, as called for by their leaders.
Given that Quebeckers will soon be able to speak out democratically, their very clear message should serve as an inspiration to many members in this House.
In their words, "The presence of sovereignist members in Ottawa should ensure that the rules of the game are respected in the event of a referendum." However, the Bloc prefers to ignore the evidence suggesting that people are fed up with the repeated referendums.
Regarding the Bloc's presence in Ottawa, they added that "this situation is no longer tenable" and that it is time for the Bloc members "to return to Quebec to take care of what is essential" and to not waste its time on federal debates, especially since the Bloc Québécois cannot bring about any solutions that would serve the interests of Quebec, unlike our Conservative government.
For the past 15 months, the Bloc Québécois has been trying to clarify the mystery of Quebec. Well, I would suggest that Bloc members first listen to their rank and file and make the obvious decision.
William Henry Drummond
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Anthony Rota Nipissing—Timiskaming, ON
Mr. Speaker, 2007 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Dr. William Henry Drummond in Cobalt, Ontario. Dr. Drummond was Canada's first national poet, and his unique style blended English and French in a symbolic and meaningful way.
Dr. Drummond was a remarkable person. In addition to crafting his celebrated writings, he practised medicine and operated a silver mine in Cobalt. He was also an avid sportsman and enjoyed the outdoors.
William Henry Drummond thoroughly enjoyed living in northern Ontario and his surroundings served as inspiration for his many poems.
In the words of David Clayson Brydges, "Yet this poetry represented the Canadian saga of unsung common salt of the earth folk".
On April 5, I had the privilege of attending a special commemorative ceremony held in Drummond's honour at the Cobalt Library. His memory was celebrated by young and old and his poems were read in both official languages.
As the member of Parliament for Nipissing—Timiskaming, I am pleased to draw attention to one of the most significant Canadian cultural legacies that Cobalt can call its own.
Liberals of Central Nova
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to point out the difference between leadership and opportunism. I speak in favour of democracy and in respect of partisan choice.
Today I rise to defend a group of Canadians ignored and abandoned by their own party, the Liberals of Central Nova. Their own leader has told them that they do not matter and Nova Scotia Liberal MPs have not been able to find enough backbone to speak for them. They want them to vote green.
What an embarrassment for this once proud party. What is next?
In the last federal election in Central Nova, the Marxist-Leninist Party placed just behind the greens. So, in the upcoming days I fully expect Nova Scotia Liberal MPs to call another press conference stating a new alliance, this time with the Marxist-Leninist Party.
For Central Nova Liberals I offer an alternative course: find a home in the Conservative Party, a party with principles, a party that will not abandon them.
June Callwood
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jack Layton Toronto—Danforth, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with profound sadness that I and all of her friends in the New Democratic Party have learned of June Callwood's death.
June was kind, compassionate and driven to make the world a better place. She was never afraid to speak out whenever she saw suffering or injustice. There was no obstacle that stopped her in her crusade to help those in need and, through her conviction and charm, she was able to turn opponents to her projects into advocates and collaborators.
No issue was closer to June's heart than child poverty. Even in the face of setbacks, like Parliament's failure to follow through on its pledge to end child poverty by the year 2000, she never stopped fighting to ensure that no child must live in poverty.
While June was unable to end child poverty in Canada in her lifetime, she was able to give hope and relief to the many children she did help through so many different projects. We could and should honour her life and legacy by recommitting ourselves to making poverty history.
June will be sadly missed by all Canadians but her spirit lives on in the many lives she touched and through the work of the 50 charities and organizations that she created.

TAMPA — Attorney General Pam Bondi says the state will place billboards along streets, in malls and on bus shelters to raise awareness of human trafficking.
During a news conference Friday, Bondi announced a statewide program called "From Instant Message to Instant Nightmare," aimed at helping parents spot sexual exploitation of children online.
Bondi says parents and adults can download a tip sheet about internet safety and a pledge for children to sign and print.
According to the state Department of Children and Families, Florida is one of the most popular destinations for human traffickers in the U.S. and sex trafficking of young victims is among the most underreported offenses.
The agency started a statewide task force in 2009 because the majority of sex trafficking victims are foster youth.

Helen Farrow
ELMORE – A funeral service for Helen Farrow, 107, of Spirit Lake, formerly of Elmore, will be 1 p.m. Saturday, March 23, 2013, at Elmore United Methodist Church in Elmore, Minn.
Helen passed away Saturday, March 16, 2013, at her home with family by her side. Turner Jenness Funeral Home in Spirit Lake, Iowa was in charge of arrangements.
Helen Joyce Farrow was born Jan. 23, 1906, in Elmore, Minn., to Bessie Ripley and John H. Krosch. She was raised and educated in Elmore, graduating from Elmore High School in 1924. Following high school, Helen attended Mankato State Teacher's College in Mankato, Minn., where she obtained her teacher's certificate. Helen was united in marriage to Everett "Murph" Farrow on Nov. 27, 1926. They made their home in Elmore, where Helen taught at the Elmore Country School for a short time. She then began her career as a dental assistant and bookkeeper for Dr. Mohn and then for Dr. Pat Morgan until she retired in 1984 at 78 years of age. Upon retirement, Helen moved to Blue Earth, Minn., to live with her sister Alice Farrow. In 2001, she moved to Spirit Lake, Iowa, to live with her niece, Pat Larson. Helen enjoyed gardening, counted cross stitch, reading and writing letters.
Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Everett (Murph) Farrow; parents, John and Bessie (Ripley) Krosch; brothers, Mark, Harold and John Krosch; sisters, Alice Farrow and Marjorie Dickman.
Helen is survived by her nephews, Al (Muriel) Krosch, Duane (Delores) Krosch, Richard (Mary) Krosch, Leon (Joyce) Farrow, Ted (Nelda) Dickman; and nieces, Pat Larson, Audrey Looft, Allaire Jutting, Loraine (Jim) Pirie, Joan Holom, Lillian (Ram) Mittal, Leota (Greg) Brucker, Mary (Patrick) Rockhill, Nola Krosch, and Avis Hobbs. Although Helen didn't have children of her own, her heart of gold and caring touch was such that her nieces and nephews considered her as their grandma instead of just their aunt, great-aunt or great great-aunt.

You just cost me more money Jeff. I really need to stop reading your blog...

Funny...you normally save me money trying all the cheapies at TJ's...I'm hardly the first person to recommend this wine though. Definitely worth checking out for the weird factor alone. Just thinking about it now, it actually reminds me a lot of beer.

Same here! The minute I read this post I went online and ordered a bottle. Seemed too interesting to pass up!
Nice thing about K&L, they have free intrastore shipping.
- August 2, 2010 at 3:11 PM
- Jeff said...
Yeah, I don't want to be a total fan boy, but the free intra-store shipping is really cool...Let me know what you think after you drink it. My girlfriend wasn't really a fan. She's got good taste, but it reminded her too much of beer--almost Hefeiweizen like in a way. Also, the oxidative character makes it fairly nutty, so it's kind of like sherry too. It's definitely a weird wine. You really have to try it to understand it. It's one huge paradox. Alcoholic beverage, but from a religious order. White wine, but made like red.

Finally got around to trying my bottle. Really enjoyed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I got some malty elements on the nose, plus the citrus and nutty notes you spoke of on the palate. My bottle had some oxidation going on but not too much. Just a complex and interesting bottle of wine with a lot of character. Very different-it was my first bottle of orange wine and my first bottle of something that Paolo Bea had his hand in--at least I think he assisted in this.
There was so much going on here but as you said it was all really balanced. I paired it with grilled chicken satay and a homemade peanut sauce. A near perfect pairing as the nutty and citrus elements in the wine were echoed in the peanut & lime in the sauce.
Only wish I didn't drink the whole bottle myself last night.

Awesome dude. Glad that you enjoyed it. It's a different experience, huh?

Kent State University Museum Presents "Entangled" Felting ExhibitPosted May. 1, 2014
"Entangled: Fiber to Felt to Fashion," an invitational exhibit highlighting felted materials, will run from May 8, 2014, to Feb. 16, 2015, at the Kent State University Museum's Higbee Gallery. "Entangled" is co-curated by Dr. Sherry Schofield, current associate director of Kent State's Fashion School, and Missouri-based artist Sharon Kilfoyle.
The show features over two dozen felted and nuno felted pieces by 14 artists from across the U.S. and Canada. The artists represented include both Kilfoyle and Schofield, along with several Kent State artists: associate professor Dr. Kim Hahn of the Fashion School, and, from the School of Art, faculty member Dena Gershon, undergraduate student Kerie Johannes and alumnus Thomas Horst.
Nuno felting differs from traditional felting in that the wool (or other fiber) is felted onto a substrate of different material, such as silk or nylon, resulting in lighter, more fluid texture.
In addition to leading numerous workshops stateside, Sharon Kilfoyle teaches for part of the year at the Paris American Academy in Paris, France. Dr. Sherry Schofield, who has served Kent State for eight years, will be chair of retail, merchandising and product development at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla., beginning in the fall.
The Kent State University Museum is located at 515 Hilltop Drive, at the corner of E. Main St. and S. Lincoln St. in Kent, Ohio. The museum is open to the public on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4:45 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. - 8:45 p.m.; and Sunday from noon - 4:45 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $3 for children under 18. The museum is free with a Kent State ID and free to the public on Sunday. Parking is free. For more information, call 330-672-3450 or visit www.kent.edu/museum.

New Offerings From Two Thumb Grips and PalmBird Grips Are Engineered To Promote Pendulum Stroke And Lower Scores
You may or may not have noticed we recently added two new lines of putter grips; PalmBird Grips and Two Thumb Grips. For many of you, this might be your first introduction to either of these companies, but they offer rather unique products brought on through their geometric shapes.
I was taught a long time ago that if you wanted to improve your putting alignment is critical. That person instructed me to place a ruler or yardstick in my hands and take practice strokes as if I was putting. The ruler is thin and rectangular making it very easy to align to the target. Plus there are two ways in which to hold it that feels very natural. Let me explain those two positions and how it applies to these new putter grips.
Vertical position
Imagine the thin side of a ruler perpendicular to the ground. The wide, flat side of the ruler would rest against your palms and the thin side would fit in your fingers. Take a few quick strokes back and forth and you can maintain the flat side of the ruler being square toward the target easier than you can when you hold a rounded object in your hands.
The crescent shape of the PalmBird grip is very reminiscent of the ruler in the vertical position, with the narrow portion is resting in your fingers and the side of the golf grip is firmly against your palms.
Horizontal position
Now imagine the thin side of a ruler parallel to the ground. The ruler is now held primarily in the fingers with your thumbs wresting atop. Again, the geometric shape makes it easy to sense you are putting back and forth toward your target.
The Two Thumb grips have a wide rectangular shape large enough to place both your thumbs (hence 2Thumb) side by side atop of the putter grip as shown. However, there are other positions you can place your hands and achieve the same assurance of being properly aligned as the ruler in the horizontal position.
You can also install the Two Thumb grips in the vertical position as mentioned above. This would be perfectly acceptable and conform to the Rules of Golf. Your forward or leading hand will feel as if you are back-handing the putt instead of breaking your wrists.
If you are struggling on the green with your flatstick, perhaps a change in the shape of your grip will get you aligned as well as promote a more pendulum stroke by taking the wrists out of the stroke.

Southern Minnesota gets flu
FAIRMONT – Flu season is certainly upon us here in south-central Minnesota, and for reasons unknown to the experts, the region has been hit particularly hard.
A panel of experts gathered Wednesday at South Central College in North Mankato to spread the word on the flu and to share ways that schools, parents, employers and the general public can help keep the virus contained.
More than 100 people in the region have been hospitalized from Sept. 1 to Jan. 5 because of the flu, according to preliminary totals released Tuesday by Brad Krier, field epidemiologist with the state Department of Health. That's about 33.3 hospitalized cases per 100,000 in the south-central region – the highest in the state. The ratio for other regions around the state varies from 1.9 cases to 22 cases per 100,000. The official numbers will be released today.
"We are seeing the rest of Minnesota catch up," Krier said.
He could not say why south-central Minnesota has initially been hit harder, since the vaccination rates are the same across the board.
The most prevalent strain seen this year has been H3M2, which is included in the flu vaccinations, but it tends to be more severe, particularly on the elderly.
"This is just a seasonal strain, not a pandemic," Krier said.
And the flu season has yet to hit its peak. Traditionally, January through late February is when we'll see the worst of it.
In order to prevent the spread of influenza and other illnesses and better protect patients and staff, Mayo Clinic Health System has implemented visitor restrictions at its hospitals in Fairmont, Mankato, New Prague, Springfield, St. James and Waseca. Visitors are limited to immediate families members and only two visitors per patient at a time. No one who is ill will be permitted to visit.
Dr. Greg Kutcher, president and CEO of Mayo Clinic Health System, said patient volume has been up at the clinics, emergency rooms and urgent care units. Adding to the challenge of handling the additional traffic is a staff shortage, since providers have also been getting sick.
"We've literally doubled our numbers in the past month," said Dr. Ruth Bolton, an Urgent Care physician in the Mayo Clinic Health System.
Dr. Julie Gerndt, medical director at Mankato Clinic, said her site has seen hundreds more patients for the flu than this time last year. In conjunction, she also has noticed an increasing willingness from patients to accept vaccines.
Creating a flu vaccine is a bit of a highly educated guessing game, anticipating what flu strains will be most prevalent and creating vaccines for those strains. The vaccine for this year is pretty accurate at a 91 percent match, according to Krier.
"No vaccine is 100 percent effective," he said, estimating a vaccine, if it's matched up against the correct strain, is about 60 percent effective in healthy adults. "… But that's a 60 percent chance of protection versus zero percent chance."
When people are sick with flu-like symptoms – the most telltale signs being fever and a cough – officials recommend people stay home, and seek medical treatment if they have a persistent high fever or shortness of breath. Medical centers are trying to make more staff available to answer calls and talk to patients about when they should see a provider.
"Not everyone with symptoms should come in," Kutcher said, since those sick people are putting healthy individuals at risk by exposing them to the flu virus.
Antiviral medication is available to help minimize flu symptoms if administered starting within the first 48 hours of contracting the flu, but it's not for everyone, Kutcher said. Health providers prefer to give this out to young children, people older than 65, and those patients battling other medical issues.
Cheri Lewer, director of Waseca County Public Health, gave the following advice for people trying to avoid getting sick and for those who already are:
o Get vaccinated.
o Cover your cough.
o Wash your hands well and wash them often.
o Stay home if you're sick, advised.
"We in public health are asking you all to do your part in stopping the spread of influenza," Lewer said.
Putting out a similar appeal to the regional business community was Barb Embacher, vice president of Greater Mankato Growth.
"Encourage your employees to stay home if they're ill," she said. "And maybe lighten up."
For examples, she suggested temporarily nixing policies requiring an employee get a note from a medical provider, since that sick employee then has to go to the doctor, potentially spread their illness, and further burden an already overwhelmed system, Embacher said.
She also suggested employers be flexible about telecommuting, promote good personal hygiene by providing hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies to wipe down surfaces.
"And encourage your employees to get the flu shot," she said.

Topic: z-index and positioning question
I have a page with a pretty simple layout already done. What I'd like to do now is overlay some content over this layout without affecting the underlying "real" content.
I guess I'm pretty close but there is one wrinkle, maybe someone can help.
The "real content" lives inside a "containter" div that uses the following css:
padding: 0;
border: 0;
position: static;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
background: transparent;
That basically "centers" the content when the user changes the width of the window. It's a nice and standard effect.
Now in order to get the "overlay" working I use the following css:
z-index: 10;
position: absolute;
margin: 20px auto 0 auto; /* note: the auto's don't achieve centering here */
left: -30px; /* just some poisitioning for the image content... */
width: 1000px; /* I guess this is irrelevant given the margin stuff doesn't do much */
It seems to get the "overlay working" the 2 important components are: z-index: 10; and position: absolute.
But the minute I say "position: absolute", I can't get the same "page centering" working, which is a bummer because I want this "overlay" to track the underlying content.
Edit: I got it working, so the quoted website below doesn't show the problem anymore
A picture is 1,000 words. Here is the website example: next.wulfram.com

How Green Are The Products By Tom's Of Maine?
Claire Burstein, a writer for Elephant Magazine wanted to know, just how green is that all so familiar brand Tom's of Maine. Which we here at G Living thought was a fair question. For us, Tom's is a giant of a brand, similar to what Crest is to the rest of America. So, we thought we should share with you, the answer Claire came up with.
Following article is by Claire Burstein, originally published by elephantjournal.com.
I imagine that many health conscious folks out there naturally reach for Tom's of Maine toothpaste. It makes sense, right? It's so readily available, it's in health food stores and supermarkets alike, it looks good, it tastes good, it's "all natural" and everybody's using it. Why wouldn't it be a good thing? Well, there are some things you should be aware before you buy Tom's of Maine products again. I used them regularly, until a teacher clued me in on some important details. I was a bit shocked at the vehemence with which he bashed Tom's of Maine. I'll spare you that energy. What I would like to do is pass the knowledge on to you and point you in the direction of an alternative.
Firstly, the word "natural" is used quite loosely in the health and beauty industry. Everything on this Earth once came from nature. Even "synthetic" things come from petroleum, which is a natural thing. There are plenty of harmful substances that are sourced from natural things. And there are things directly from nature that are very harmful to humans, such as mercury and snake venom. So, beware of the word "natural". Continue Reading / Additional Photos / Videos

Industrial style of the 20s and 30s
In the 20s and 30s metal furniture began to find its place in interiors. The exteriors are also very strongly influenced by this trend as park benches, lanterns, advertising columns and chairs are constructed in the Luxembourg style. In factories the use of folding furniture, desk-side containers, metal wardrobes and furniture with metal pigeonholes starts to be used more and more. Because shortly after the demand for this furniture grew radically the methods of production were modernized. The first steel metal factories were established and they enhanced with the industrial style.
The selection of PIB
Since 2010 PIB works together with suppliers with verified product quality. After sorting out the best products all of them fulfill our criteria's: Style, quality and timelessness. We observe the newest trends so that our style of decoration is always up to date. We combine the newest trends with the flair of the 20th century which makes our products timeless. Only suppliers which fulfill the criteria of style, esthetic and quality are being used for the production of our products.

Japan's Miyuki Maeda has legions of admirers from around the world as not only is she handy with a racquet, but her good looks attracts those who may not normally watch badminton.
Still only 25-years-old, the shuttler, who is an avid chef, whenever she has the time, that is, has certainly found the right ingredients with partner Satako Suetsuna as they chase for honours on the badminton circuit.
Currently ranked third in the world, Maeda-Suetsuna have big dreams as they hope to one day retire as world and Olympic champions.
Born in Kirishima, Kagoshima, Japan, Maeda always knew she would be a sports personality – she was heavily into swimming in her younger days – but it was badminton which was always her first love.
"I used to follow my sister to badminton when I was six, and have been playing the game ever since," said Maeda, recently won her second OSIM BWF World Superseries crown with Suetsuna when they triumphed at the YONEX SUNRISE India Open Superseries on May 1, six months after the pair won their first Superseries title in Denmark.
"For my career, I always try my very best. If possible, I would like to win medals in the World Championships and Olympics. Any medal would do, as long as it is pretty … gold is a pretty colour, yes," she said with a big laugh, flashing that big smile which has captured many a heart.
"I don't know how long more I will play for but I want to win as many titles as I can. I love badminton and it would be good to end my career with gold medals from the World Championships and Olympics."
The 5'7'' (169cm) tall right-hander admitted some of the attention from her fans can be unerring at times as she doesn't consider herself pretty at all.
"I'm honoured that some fans may say I'm good looking or that Japan have many pretty badminton players, but honestly, I don't think I'm special," she said modestly.
"I don't do anything out of the ordinary to pretty myself up. I just go out there to play and to have fun. Maybe the fans see us smiling all the time and think 'that's pretty'."
Maeda, however, admitted she does like to dress up away from the court and loves to go shopping, especially for clothes, but has no personal favourite brand.
So, does she have a boyfriend? Maeda turned a little red, started to laugh before replying: "That's a secret!" When asked if it is a secret because she has too many boyfriends, she put a finger to her lips before laughing out loud and saying: "That's an even bigger secret!"
Maeda, who loves cooking Japanese food, is also into Korean and Japanese BBQ and said she has no problem eating spicy food.
"I normally cook Japanese dishes but I want to learn to cook other types of food as well," said Maeda, who followed up her India Open victory by bagging the YONEX SUNRISE Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold a week later. "Cooking is good."
Maeda should know, as she is certainly quite a dish!
