HU men's soccer coach Alex Morawiecki was hoping his team would be able to use this part of the 2012 schedule -- where Hamline plays five of its last six games at Paterson Field -- to be a part of the MIAC playoff chase. Such will be the case ... but it's not exactly how Morawiecki hoped would happen.
The Pipers (2-9-1, 0-6 MIAC) can throw a serious wrench into the plans two teams this week that have designs on league leader St. Thomas. The first of those opportunities comes Wednesday, October 10 when HU hosts Gustavus at Paterson Field. game time is 4:00 p.m. The Gusties are 8-2-1 overall and in second place in the MIAC with a 4-1-1 mark. Forward Zach Brown ranks second in the league in goals with eight on a team that has scored just 21 total tallies. But GAC has allowed just nine netters, which is tied for the fewest in the league.
Hamline comes into the game off another near-miss, a 1-0 loss at St. Mary's last Saturday night. As has often been the case this year, the battle was tight most of the way. Hanmline had chances, unloading 14 shots at the SMU net. The Cardinals did not break through until the 84th minute with the game's lone tally. Morawiecki is hoping a return to the friendly soil -- where Hamline is a respectable 2-3-1 this season -- may be the trigger that points to the season's first conference win.
On Saturday, Carleton (10-1-1, 3-1-1 MIAC) visits Paterson Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. affair.
A live stats link for the match can be found on the front page of the website as well as in the left hand column of the soccer page.

Good product but expensive
Posted by NBPT100 on Sep 14, 2013
This is a good whole food fish oil derived from only wild salmon. There is much written by authorities on the importance of Good contaminant free Omega 3 fatty acids. So I won't reiterate this. The downside of whole food fish oil vs. distilled is that whole food may have heavy metals or other contamination in it from whatever that fish ate. It maybe a low risk if the fish always ate other fish that never traveled to non-industrialized areas or were around any oil/chemical contamination from marine or oil drilling accidents. As a salmon oil is does have some Astaxanthin in it which is an excellent anti-oxidant and important in eye health. But the amounts are relative low. Don't get distracted with side dishes in your fish oil like Vit D, Vit E and Astaxathin. All good stuff but the main reason to take fish oil is for the Omega 3's. Don't shortchange your self on Omega 3's to get a few side dishes that you can get in adequate amounts else where. Most middle age and older folks should take 5-8 of these gel caps a day. It gets expensive. That is why it gets only 4 stars. Go to my home page to see my fish oil recommendations and other value added reviews. If you found this helpful "Yes" votes are appreciated. Thanks and good health!
Best Single supplement ever
Posted by Reviewer1976345 on Feb 03, 2010
All of the review above are what I have experienced. I also have found a benefit for my accute dry-eye condition. Just three days after starting Wholemega my eyes improved dramatically! Painful knee--gone, improved hair and nails,more energy, clearer brain, better sleep, etc, etc.
very effective
Posted by Reviewer1877250 on Aug 10, 2010
After using several quality liquid fish oils, I tried this product. I felt a real difference in a few short days from a calmness to more energy. Also, after a few months now, my hair has noticeable become thicker. I've been taking New Chapter products for over 10 years. They are the best out there.
Great Omega formula
Posted by Reviewer1716766 on Aug 31, 2009
When you can feel the difference you know something is changed. Since I changed from my trusted Dr Murray (Natural Factors) Omega 3 formula to this one I've found the joint pain I've been suffering from Osteoarthritis noticeably improved. Having spoken considerably with the folks at New Chapter I understand why that would be the case. What a great company to put out such a pure yet unrefined product like this, in contrast to all those other highly distilled and purified fish oil supplements.
inefficient and expensive
Posted by Reviewer2280078 on Jul 12, 2011
Try fermented cod liver oil. Much more vitamin D, EPA and DHA, vitamin K (due to fermentation) and also huge amounts of natural vitamin A, that all fish oils lack. Also, since mercury and many other toxicities are water soluble, are stored in the muscle part of the fish not the liver (the liver is not a place for storage anyway) and so cod liver oil would be much safer that any other fish oil as far as heavy metals are concrned. And it's a great value for money.
Posted by Reviewer2089770 on Sep 27, 2009
I have tried other top brands of fish oil, but this one truly stands out. I have tried this brand via a sample from iHerb, and as soon as I used it, I ordered the biggest bottle; I was sold.
Posted by FataMorgana on Mar 25, 2012
I really like this fish oil, ordering is not the first time.
Excellent Product!!
Posted by Reviewer1346887 on Mar 09, 2010
I have never written a review before. But this fish oil is so outstanding I decided I should tell others. I have used fish oil for years. I switched to this fish oil and within a few weeks my skin became amazingly soft. I've always drank a lot of water, but my skin has always been scale-y and dry. Now, my skin is supple and beautiful. My husband can't believe how much softer my skin is! I take two a day, 1 with breakfast and 1 with dinner. (My brain is much happier too!) I also had weird bumps on my arms and those are gone. I can't wait until summer to show off my beautiful skin! Thanks iherb for being so fast and reasonably priced! VERY happy customer!!
Helps with blood sugar control

I am a type 2 diabetic and my blood sugar was too high despite taking 3 prescription medications. I started taking this along with a product called Blood Sugar High from Crystal Star, and Glucofit by Now Foods, and my blood sugars are now in the 90 - 100 range when fasting. I was even able to stop taking one of the prescription medications for blood sugar.

Monads for vector spaces, probability and quantum mechanics pt. I
Firstly, Eric found a really neat factoring of the probability monad as a 'product' of two monads: the Perhaps monad and the List monad. This factoring can be interpreted algebraically.
A monoid is defined to be a set m with a binary operator (typically written as abuttal, ie. the product of a and b is ab) that is associative, and with an element, 1, that is an identity for the binary operator. The List monad gives rise to the monoid freely generated by a set, in other words it defines the smallest monoid containing the set and with no extra relationships between the elements that don't come from the definition of a monoid. The binary operator for List is called ++ and we embed the original set in the monoid using the function \x -> [x], otherwise known as return. [] is the identity. It's not hard to see that we have asociativity as (a ++ b) ++ c == a ++ (b ++ c). If we use Set instead of List then we get the free commutative monoid instead, ie. one where a+b=b+a.
(Eh? Where's my paragraph on m-sets. Don't tell me I have to format all those HTML subscripts again! I hate it when computers do that. I wrote a paragraph and it just vanished. Oh well, maybe version 2.0 will be better. But without subscripts this time...)
If m is a monoid then an m-set is a set s with an action of m on it. An action of a monoid on a set is a scheme that converts each element of the monoid, say g, into a map g*:S→S so that 1* is the identity map and g*h*=(gh)*. The type Writer m s corresponds to pairs in s×m but this also doubles as the free m-set. We simply define f*(x,g)=(x,fg). It's free because we never get f*(x,f')=g*(x',g') unless x=x', so we never get any surprising equalities that aren't inherent in the definition of an m-set. Perhaps, which is actually a pseudonym for Writer Float, defines an R-set, where R is the monoid of reals under multiplication.
In an earlier post I showed how you could layer up algebraic structures. There I showed that you could combine a commutative monoid structure with a monoid structure to get a semiring. So what happens if we layer up a commutative monoid and an m-set? We'll get something that has a commutative binary operator but that can also be acted on my elements of m. Specialise to the case when m is a field like the real or complex numbers. Does this sound like a familiar structure? I hope so, it's a description of a vector space. What Eric Kidd has shown is that we can build a vector space monad by applying an m-set monad transformer (with m a field) to a commutative monoid monad. (This isn't a completely trivial fact and it depends on the fact that the definition of PerhapsT handles distributivity correctly.) I think that's pretty neat. But I'm getting slightly ahead of myself here as I haven't shown what Eric's stuff has to do with vector spaces.
A probability distribution can be thought of as a vector with outcomes forming a basis. Any distribution attaches a probability 'weight' to each possible outcome in the same way that a vector can be written as a weighted sum of basis elements. Each time we have a probabilistic transition, we're effectively multiplying our distribution vector by a stochastic matrix. Eric (and others)'s monad allows you to write these matrix multiplications in a very natural way.
A vector space forms a monad in a straightforward way. If V(B) is the vector space generated by basis B, and V(C) is another vector space, then any function B→V(C) can be lifted to a linear map V(B)→V(C). This lift is clearly of type (B→V(C))→(V(B)→V(C)). With a little flip we get V(B)→(B→V(C))→V(C). This is the main step in showing V to be a monad. And what the probability monad allows us to do is write our stochastic matrices in terms of what happens to the individual basis elements (ie. outcomes) instead of having to write out the entire matrix.
Anyway, this is all just waffle and it really needs some code to make it more concrete. I have an ulterior motive here. It's not just probability theory that is described by vector spaces. So is quantum mechanics. And I plan to work my way up to defining quantum computers and implementing a bunch of well known quantum algorithms in Haskell. In the next installment I expect to get at least as far as writing the code to play with the square root of NOT operator.
PS This idea of layering up algebraic structures is one I haven't found in the textbooks yet. I'm guessing it's in Mac Lane, but I haven't yet justified the cost of that book to myself. But I don't actually have a clue what a category theorist would call a monad transformer and don't recall reading about them in any texts that weren't specifically about computer science. Maybe someone else can fill me in. I do know that it's absolutely standard to get free algebraic structures from monads.
Errata: As notfancy points out, I should really be talking about multisets rather than sets, otherwise we have a+a=a. As programmers often use lists to represent both sets and multisets it can sometimes get confusing.

Great article! I'm looking forward to part 2.
As far as I know, Haskell's monad transformers are more commonly known as "monad morphisms" in category theory texts. A Google search turns up a lot of CS-flavored papers.

There are lots of links between monads and algebras and for each monad you can build a free algebra.
You can find more in this paper

The one place I really found layered algebraic structures of the kind you're talking about in a larger extent than the trivial recognitions (as in "Uh, yeah, a ring is an abelian group and a monoid") would be with enriched categories.
Basically, what you do, is to give your hom-sets additional algebraic structure, and show that this additional structure says a lot more about the category. So any additive category is really an Ab-enriched category.

"Uh, yeah, a ring is an abelian group and a monoid"
I have to admit, I started worrying about the triviality of all this when you said that. But then I remembered that there is something neat going on because it's not just about recognition. We have a menu of algebraic parts (monoid, m-set, etc.) and a bunch of Haskell functions that build algebraic structure from these parts correctly and with all of the requisite laws (eg. distributivity) obeyed.
Anyway, you're the third person in about a many weeks to tell me to read up on enriched categories. Unfortunately I need to swot up more on ordinary categories first.

Re: eric kidd.
It seems to me that Haskell's monad transformers are different but related to monad morphisms in the following ways:
Per Mac Lane pg. 142, Exercise 3(a), monads <T, N, X> over a category P form a category with objects all the monads over P and with arrows given by natural tranformations a: T -*> T' satisfying appropriate conditions.
Now since we have a category, every monad induces an identity (monad) morphism, including the monads which cannot be "transformerized" (i.e. which cannot be wrapped around arbitrary inner monads).
Second, monad transformers, being polymorphic in the monad they wrap, appear to me to denote entire families of monad morphisms. Sometimes, when a monad transformer can wrap an arbitrary monad, this family of morphisms is "large" in the sense that every monad is the source of some morphism in the family. Other times, such as for the List monad transformer [1], the family is somewhat smaller.
Third, there's actually a variety of categories (truthfully, 2-categories) which have monads as their objects/0-cells. Leinster[2] concisely describes four such "2-categories of monads", more specifically, those with lax, colax, weak, and strict maps as their 1-cells. These formulations of "monad morphism" are particularly interesting because they allow one to change the category over which the monad is built. This possibility creates two interesting new questions concerning the meaning of computation which I have never seen addressed:
1) An inverse problem: what interesting (category, monad) pairs can be mapped *into* a monad over "Hask"?
2) What can monads over "Hask" be mapped to in other interesting categories?
The former question feels like abstract interpretation to me: we have a more detailed model of what's happening that we're squishing to fit into Haskell's monads, types, etc. Alternately, we might have some really "simple" model and we want to describe a canonical embedding into Haskell.
The latter question feels like an abstraction question: for example, can you concisely express the halting problem as a map from (Hask, IO) to the "Halting category", where the only arrows between types are "Bottom", which diverges and "Top", which halts?
Either way, these comparisons show that Haskell's monad transformers are related to but not the same as the monad morphisms in one particular category of monads, that there's lots of unexplored territory figuring out the relationship between Haskell's monads and the monads of other categories, and that the various 2-categories of monads appear offer an adequately precise language for conducting the latter exploration.
[1] Mark P. Jones states, in his "Monad Transformers and Modular Interpreters" that the List monad can only wrap commutative monads.
[2] See section 6.1 of his book "Higher Operads, Higher Categories", which is available as math.CT/0305049 on arXiv.

Indeed, monad transformers are not monad morphisms. The former are monad constructions whereas the latter are equivalent to monad layerings.

Well, I can't help too much, because I don't (yet) understand monad transformers. My working hypothesis is that they have something to do with distributive laws. There are various ways of describing distributive laws (including as a certain type of monad morphism), but the basic idea is that if you have monads S and T, a distributive law of S over T is the extra data you need to give a monad structure to ST. The right choice of distributive law of monoids over commutative monoids gives you the theory of rigs (aka semirings), whence the name. This isn't the only way of combining monads: if your monads are finitary, there's also a notion of their tensor product. The tensor product of the "free monoid" monad with itself is the "free commutative monoid" monad, by the Eckmann-Hilton lemma.
Enriched categories are powerful stuff, and I should really learn more about them. But the basic idea is simple: take some monoidal category E (ie, there's a functor *:E^2 -> E and a unit u in E, and (E, *, u) behaves like a monoid up to isomorphism). A category C enriched in E has hom-E-objects instead of hom-sets between any two objects of C. Composition is a family of E-maps o:C(B,C)*C(A,B) -> C(A,C), satisfying the usual diagrams. Enriching in Ab gives an abelian group structure on your hom-sets, so you can add morphisms; enriching in Top gives a topological structure to your hom-sets. But there's no reason your E-objects need to be sets or anything like them: for instance, categories enriched in (R,+,0) are something very close to metric spaces.
There's a rich and detailed theory of enriched categories, but the short version is apparently "if E is symmetric monoidal closed, then all of ordinary category theory carries over, mutas mutandis". You have to re-jig some definitions so they make sense, but pretty much everything works.

You can find constructs similar to the one you describe in my paper with David King, Combining Monads.

I have also used WriterT to make probability distributions. Except that, I generalized the probabilities to be any normalizable semiring.

FREELY Give in BLOOM
The best part is adding the 'unexpected' embellishments! Another example of how you can add a touch of free motion to any project, and make it very special!
I had a great batik in my stash (oh imagine that!)... so started by cutting a 5" or 6" strip of it, doubled up, and then ruffled it. Doubling a ruffle makes it more professional looking in my opinion; it hangs nicely, is finished off nicely, and it also runs through the ruffler foot quite smoothly too! (Makes you look like a star!) Attach to your towel, by laying the ruffle underneath the towel, and stitching along the towel's already existing hemline makes it easy to line it up!
I used a black thread: King Tut 40 weight cotton for that, and also black cotton on my bottom in a 50 weight Masterpiece; both threads made by Superior threads). By the way, this particular towel was embroidered first.
THEN comes the funnest part for me, and that is to add a little fused flower --- which was a very basic five-petaled flower I drew free hand onto fusible web, cut it out, fused it on, then added a bit of yellow wool, fused into the center. Using black thread for the free motion motif made a bold statement, but in a very light-hearted,swirly, curly-q'd and leafy meanderings, tiny little circles, all following somewhat, the curves of the petals. Such fun FUN thread play with black thread to match the embroidery design.
Inspiration is everywhere... and for me it came from the embroidered design "ZENSPIRATIONS" from Bernina. I'm not an advanced embroiderer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love the 'plug n play' of USB sticks in my machine. So quick and easy! And I fell in love with the whimsical nature of the words and their STYLE!
So I repeated some of those same design elements featured in the embroidery as my inspiration for the free motion motif on the flowers. You can too! Practice on a bit of paper first, if you are hesitant to go straight to your machine. It's really great to go off the line, and give your quilting a sketchy look!!! Smiles everyone! No need to be... dare I say it... "perfect?"!!! Absolutely NOT. It's charming, fun, fast and easy-breezy girls!
KNOW that the stitches will be a little 'off' tension-wise on the back side, because the towel is not real thick, and so it doesn't have alot of stabilization to the fabric. And that's OKAY! We're not being perfect - we don't need to be... this is fun, loose and FREE!. Just be sure to loosen your top tension, match the color of your top and bottom threads, and try to hold the fabric firmly with your hands without gripping so tight you can't free motion! If you prefer, use a spray adhesive, and attach some of the wash-a-way type stabilizers on the back. However, I DID NOT. and you can see the results. After all... it's creative, and above all... it's FREEly done!
I hope you found some inspiration...and FREEdom here! Add your own special touch, and enjoy adding to your skills, and making a quick project, not to mention a wonderful gift to have on hand.
"Freely, Freely, you have received... Freely, Freely, Give."

Senate: NextGen Put on Hold Altogether Due to Shutdown
The government shutdown enters its 14th day Monday, three days after the Senate commerce committee released a report detailing the shutdown's negative impact on FAA and other critical federal agencies.
According to a report released by the committee on Friday, the shutdown has halted the implementation of the nation's largest infrastructure modernization project, NextGen. The multi-billion dollar program, which has already faced several delays, has been stopped altogether while more than 14,000 FAA employees remain furloughed because of the shutdown.
"FAA has halted the development, operational testing and evaluation of technologies and safety standards for NextGen--the agency's program to modernize the air traffic control system," the report says. "Progress on NextGen slowed during initial implementation due to sequestration in 2013, and the initiative has been put on hold altogether due to the shutdown."
The shutdown comes at a crucial time for FAA's NextGen project, as the agency continues the shift from a radar-based air traffic system to a satellite-based system. By 2014, more than 700 ADS-B ground radio stations are scheduled to be implemented, providing the full ground infrastructure to deploy automatic surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) communications between air traffic controllers and pilots throughout the National Airspace System (NAS).
However achievements such as this are threatened by the shutdown, because no one from the agency is performing any of the development and evaluation of the technologies and safety standards needed to deploy NextGen.
Last week, the House passed a bill that would temporarily re-open the full operations of FAA, though the Senate has yet to vote on that bill as senators await a fiscal year 2014 budget that funds all federal agencies, including FAA.
Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) President Marion Blakey spoke about the shutdown's impact on NextGen during testimony before the Senate commerce committee Friday.
"Congress has recently encouraged the FAA to put a higher priority on near-term benefits and NextGen implementation. However, just as the FAA is making that change, with its brand-new NextGen leadership team, the wheels grind to a halt. We simply cannot make the progress Congress envisioned in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act unless the FAA is provided stable and reliable funding," said Blakey.

Jaime Hernandez: The 1915-P Lincoln cent is one of the most difficult wheat Lincoln cents to find in Red Uncirculated grades that were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Only the 1914-P is tougher than the 1915-P in Red Uncirculated grades from all Philadelphia struck wheat Lincoln cents.
MS60 - MS64 Red: In MS60 to MS64 Red there are many examples available. Most Uncirculated Red examples fall somewhere in this grade range.
MS65 Red: In MS65 Red they are scarce but yet still obtainable. There are possibly a couple hundred examples that survive in MS65 Red .
MS66 Red: In MS66 Red it is considered very scarce with only about 80 - 85 examples in this grade available.
MS67Red: In MS67 Red it is considered truly scarce with only 5 or so examples known to exist.
MS68 Red: In MS68 it is considered rare since there is only one coin known in the grade of MS68 Red.

Topic: Global filtering of GET and POST data?
Is there any way of setting an input filter for all data received via GET and POST? Specifically I'd like to strip all HTML and other nastiness (Javascript, XSS attempts, etc) from everything in params.
I'm aware of sanitize and the white list plugin, but only for use on a single string. Is there a way to apply these globally for all incoming data?
Many thanks,

Time is running short to put together that joyful bundle of great holiday gifts. Here's one more Holiday Gift Guide to give the procrastinator (that's most all of us) a few more ideas. Read on!
The big day creeps ever closer, so we thought we'd help out with a few more ideas. While it's human nature to wait for the day before, maybe this will be the year we get it together and get it done early. At least it will save on those overnight shipping charges. Read on!
If you're like us, the Holiday shopping rush is still 16 days away… but it's never too early to stick that Wish List on the fridge to remind someone how to light up your tree (and allow time for shipping...) Here's a few more ideas to get you started.
It's December 1st - that can only mean, well, one of a hundred things - but for many, it means the Holidays are on the horizon. At PEZ, we love the Holidays and never want to pass up a chance to look at some cool items that could make great gifts for friends/family/loved ones, or the kind of thing you leave open on your computer to make sure that certain somebody knows what makes your heart sing. Let's jump in!
If the stocking's not full - somebody's not doing their job. Good thing we're here to help with a big ol' bag full of the kind of stuff we'd love to get ourselves... For best results, click 'print' and attach list to your local fridge.
The days are ticking down to that calamitous confusion concerning your chimney, but even if your preferred method of gift delivery is slightly more direct, we've got a bunch more ideas to keep you smiling all through the season...

University of Calgary
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Michelle Rempel Calgary Centre-North, AB
Mr. Speaker, the University of Calgary is a vibrant, comprehensive research university that produces an economic impact of $1 billion in the Calgary area alone.
I would like to congratulate the University of Calgary on its new strategic vision entitled, "Eyes High", as well as on the opening of the Taylor Family Digital Library, a new state-of-the-art learning and research facility. The building houses a library, archive and art gallery, and features unique technologies like editing suites, touch tables and a wall-size visualization screen.
This exceptional facility, one which our government is proud to have supported, fosters research and innovation, integrates art and culture, and is focused on enhancing the student experience.
In addition, it has received the prestigious gold leadership in energy and environmental design certification, meaning it operates with a focus on limiting its impact on our environment.
I congratulate the University of Calgary on opening this cutting-edge facility, as well as on the launch of its collaborative and ambitious "Eyes High" vision.

Peter Braid Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, the situation in Bahrain has hit a new low.
After months of crackdowns on legitimate protests, courts are now handing out ridiculous sentences to doctors who have treated protestors. In fact, some 20 doctors have been sentenced to up to 20 years in jail; their supposed crimes: doing their jobs, their duty under the Hippocratic oath. These rulings are unacceptable and fly in the face of international human rights law and Canadian values.
I call on all hon. members to join me in condemning these outrages, in calling for clemency for these Bahraini doctors and in supporting the democratic ambitions of all Bahrainis.
Passenger Rail Service
Statements by Members
September 30th, 2011 / 11:05 a.m.
Bruce Hyer Thunder Bay—Superior North, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week I had the pleasure of reintroducing my motion to return passenger rail service to Thunder Bay and the spectacular north shore of Lake Superior. This line was cut by the Mulroney Conservative government despite being VIA's busiest route.
Today rail has been experiencing a renaissance, because it is environmentally friendly, energy efficient and a great way to travel. This is one small but very important step toward getting Canada back on track with a national transit strategy.
Returning passenger rail service to one of the most scenic routes in our country, through Marathon, Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Nipigon and Thunder Bay, will be a huge boost to those communities and to rail tourism as well.
I call upon the Minister of Transport and all parties in this House to support my motion to renew passenger rail in Canada.
Judge Advocate General
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Chris Alexander Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the appointment of Canada's first Judge Advocate General.
On October 1, 1911, Colonel Henry Smith was appointed Judge Advocate General. This marked the first time that a Canadian officer was responsible for the provision of legal services to the Canadian Forces. For 100 years now, military lawyers have served with distinction, both in Canada and around the world.
The JAG is legal adviser in matters of military law to the Governor General, the Minister and Department of National Defence, and the Canadian armed forces. The JAG also superintends the administration of military justice in the Canadian Forces.
Today 208 regular and reserve force military lawyers provide legal advice to Canadian military contingents in Afghanistan, the Gulf, north and central Africa, Europe and the United States. Nearly 100 legal officers were deployed to Afghanistan, ensuring that our military efforts there were in accordance with the rule of law.
Canadians can take great pride in the achievements of their military lawyers. I congratulate the current Judge Advocate General, Brigadier-General Blaise Cathcart, and his entire team on the 100th anniversary of this great institution.
Toronto Air-Rail Link
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Andrew Cash Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, one would think communities living near the building of a major transportation infrastructure should be able to participate in some of the gain instead of all of the pain.
In the case of the air-rail link being built from Pearson airport to Union Station, the very folks who through their taxes are helping to pay for this service have to live through the disruptions of it being built, and have to live with the health consequences of the decisions of the Ontario Liberal government, with money from the federal Conservative government, to use diesel trains instead of electric trains.
Toronto will be the only major city in the world to be running an air-rail link using diesel. Diesel exhaust is a known carcinogen that is particularly dangerous to children and the elderly.
Hundreds of thousands of people live within a kilometre of this line in Toronto, including many in my riding of Davenport. The people in my riding are hard-working, progressive and honest folks. They know we need better and more mass public transit, but they want it built right the first time and they want it accessible to their community. And when they get on one of these trains, they want that train to be an electric train.
Statements by Members

Kellie Leitch Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in the House to mark Canada's first National Seniors Day, which will happen this Saturday.
I am pleased to rise here today to mark National Seniors Day this Saturday.
It is important to celebrate what seniors have done and continue to do for our country. They deserve our gratitude and recognition. That is why we passed a bill last year to officially establish October 1 as an annual celebration of seniors. This coincides with the UN International Day of Older Persons. It is an occasion for all Canadians to show their appreciation for our older generation.
Today we recognize the many contributions seniors have made and continue to make as mentors and leaders in strengthening our families, communities and workplaces. I invite everyone to join me in thanking Canada's seniors for making a positive difference in all our lives. Together we will recognize that many seniors who give so generously of themselves make this country a better place to live in the world.
This October 1, let us celebrate National Seniors Day.
National Geographic World Championship
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, three young Canadians did us proud last summer at the 2011 National Geographic World Championship held in California.
Alexander Cohen, a student at Ashbury College in Ottawa—Vanier, and his teammates, Aoife O'Leary of Surrey, B.C. and Alejandro Torres-Lopez of North Vancouver, won the silver medal to Russia's gold and Vietnam's bronze.
The National Geographic World Championship, hosted by Alex Trebek, is a two-day international geography competition held every two years. Seventeen teams of geography students from around the globe met to take part in this tournament. After three years of being in the top three of the Great Canadian Geography Challenge, Alexander placed first this year and made the Canadian team for the championship.
Today Alex turns 16. I wish him a happy birthday. May his gift this year be to win the gold for Canada. We are proud of him.
Public Safety
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Rick Norlock Northumberland—Quinte West, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government received a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe. Part of that means ensuring we have a correctional system that actually corrects criminal behaviour.
The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, at the urging of our government, has undertaken a study on how illegal drugs that get into our prisons impact the safety and effectiveness of our correctional system. However, yesterday the NDP member for Châteauguay—Saint-Constant shockingly said that taking drugs out of prisons makes them less safe. That is unbelievable. That is the same party that has consistently voted against our tough-on-crime measures.
Our Conservative government believes in delivering on our campaign commitment to establish drug-free prisons. Canadians expect no less. I call on the NDP to finally stop putting the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Statements by Members
11:15 a.m.
Marie-Claude Morin Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC
Mr. Speaker, in 1985, the United Nations General Assembly declared the first Monday of October every year World Habitat Day.
As our housing critic, I particularly wanted to mark this day, which will be on Monday, October 3, this year.
The right to housing is recognized by the UN as a basic human right enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The right to housing also appears in most constitutions around the world, which recognize every individual's right to decent, safe and affordable housing.
I would therefore like to draw the House's attention to the exceptional work being done by non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting tenants' rights.
In closing, I would like to point out to the government that their demands are not unreasonable; they simply want the government to maintain the current number of affordable housing units and build new units so that all Canadian families can have access to affordable, adequate and safe housing.
Statements by Members
11:15 a.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, while our Conservative government is focused on helping create jobs and growing the economy with our job-creating pro-trade and low-tax plan, the NDP is publicly demanding higher taxes.
Yesterday, the NDP MPs also publicly attacked our Conservative government's reduction of the GST from 7% to 5%, bemoaning the fact that Canadian families were keeping more of their own hard-earned money and not big government. NDP members have stated that cutting the GST was probably the worst measure that this government could have adopted. The member for Beauport—Limoilou said that reducing the GST was a serious problem. Now the NDP finance critic has demanded Canadians and Canadian job creators be forced to pay yet another new tax, this time on daily financial transactions.
Our ambitious pro-trade low-tax plan to create jobs and economic growth is working. Meanwhile, the NDP's anti-trade high-tax job-killing plan is reckless. The NDP's anti-trade high-tax plan is yet another worrying example that the NDP is not fit to govern.
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Parliamentary Budget Officer reported that the government's fiscal plan is unsustainable. Its ill-conceived corporate tax cuts are responsible for the fiasco we are facing.
The cuts, which amount to $15 billion a year in lost revenue, are almost exactly the same amount as the PBO's estimate for the structural deficit. That is further evidence of the Conservative government's mismanagement of the economy.
When will the Conservatives listen to reason and cancel the next gift to profitable corporations?
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's facts are very deceiving. In fact, the low-tax plan that the government has put in place is actually addressing the issue he is talking about.
The long recognized aging population issue will impact Canadians, as would the $10 billion hike in taxes that the NDP would need.
Our low-tax plan will help seniors prepare for retirement.
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government's priorities are quite clear. It wants to give $60 billion in tax cuts to mostly large, profitable corporations. As we have just heard, it is using the bogus argument that this will result in jobs for Canadians. At the same time, the government is imposing a $16 million EI tax hike on the payrolls of small businesses and the paycheques of workers.
It is rewarding corporations for non-performance and is overcharging Canadians for an employment insurance program that the Conservatives are using as a deficit-fighting tool.
When will the government put middle-class Canadian families first?
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, the last three budgets that the NDP voted against included plans to help ordinary Canadians. In fact, the tax reductions we have put in place provide a Canadian family of four over $3,000 in additional moneys, leaving it in that family's pockets where it should be.
That is what helps Canadians, not a $10 billion tax hike.
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, two million Canadians are unemployed and will be for a long time because the Conservatives' economic inaction plan is a disaster. This particularly holds true for young people. There are approximately 200,000 more unemployed youth than there were before the last recession. This is mortgaging the future of our country, but the Conservatives are satisfied.
Why do the Conservatives refuse to admit that their policy is not working? Why not invest in people?

NEWARK, Ohio — A recent collision between members on an indoor walking/running track has prompted the Licking County Family YMCA to banish one of the runners to the treadmills or another type of cardio machine.
Newark resident Robert Jutzi, who is blind, has been running at the YMCA three mornings a week, every week, since December 2001. The YMCA has made some accommodations for him, posting a sign near the track warning that a blind member uses it. Jutzi, 48, said he wears a colorful vest while he runs, and he runs the opposite direction of the rest of the field, occupying the inside lane so that he can run his hand along the rail for guidance.
Jutzi acknowledged that the other member got the worst of the Feb. 25 collision.
And he conceded that was not the first time another member has collided with him. "I quit stopping (to see if they're OK) a long time ago," he said. "After all these years, when you run into people who aren't paying attention, you lose your cool very quickly. People have working eye sockets. If they refuse to use them, I won't take responsibility."
The YMCA doesn't have that luxury, said Director Ed Bohren. "You need to weigh safety on the whole," he said. "There were just too many incidents, and too many close calls."
The track is small, taking 18 laps to cover a mile, and gets crowded easily, Bohren said, adding that Jutzi "runs pretty fast."
"It doesn't take much for someone to look down at a heart monitor or their music or just weave," Bohren said. "We've made accommodations over the years, but it's to the point it's become a risk."
One collision sent a YMCA member to the hospital, he said.
Jutzi, who already owns a treadmill, said he feels that he's being punished for his disability. " I live two blocks from Giant Eagle," he said. "I know darned well if I crossed 24th Street without paying attention, I'd get hit. It would be ludicrous for me to then say, 'Get that car off the road.' "
However, a state spokesman said it doesn't sound like a case of discrimination.
Brad Reynolds, a spokesman for the Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission, said the YMCA is probably within compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"The law says they have to provide reasonable accommodations that will not be hazardous to the individual or the organization," Reynolds said. "Without knowing every detail, it seems they've done that."
Jutzi is hoping for a better alternative. "I don't care to be stuck on a treadmill forever," he said. "Running has been my lifelong enjoyment and the track, for me, is the closest thing to being able to run outside."
Jutzi said he's open to alternatives. "I'm not sure yet — maybe put a lock on the door while I use it from 6:30 to 8 in the morning. That way no one gets hurt."
Bohren said they won't close the track to members, and suggested finding a running partner for Jutzi. "There are some options ... but in order for us to be accommodating, we have to meet halfway."

Editor for this issue: Sarah Murray <sarahlinguistlist.org>
University or Organization: De Taalstudio Rank of Job: Freelance Consultant Specialty Areas: Language Description Required Language(s): Isekiri (Code = ITS) Description: De Taalstudio is urgently looking for linguistic consultants on Isekiri. The consultants are asked to provide commentaries on language analyses produced by the Dutch Immigration Service (IND) about language used by applicants for asylum who claim to be from Nigeria. The work can be done from anywhere in the world. Some payment is available for the consultant. Linguists who have published about Isekiri or the sociolinguistic situation in Nigeria and who are interested to bring their knowledge to bear in such cases, are requested to contact Maaike Verrips of de Taalstudio BY EMAIL. Please provide your name, title and affiliation as well as the bibliographical details of (at least) one relevant publication when responding to this call. A CV is wellcome as well. De Taalstudio is a small Dutch organisation specialised in linguistic projects and products. With this work, we aim to advance professional standards in language analysis and to contribute to fair trials. Linguists with expertise in other languages, who are interested to act as consultant in asylum-cases, are also invited to contact de Taalstudio. Background information Many governments, including the Dutch government, use 'language analysis' as a tool to establish the country of origin of foreigners without passport who apply for political asylum. A language analysis is a written report about the language that the applicant uses during a taperecorded interview. On the basis of the language (variety) used in this interview, the analist tries to determine where the asylum-seeker has come from. Language analyses are commonly made by native speakers with little training in linguistics. The linguistic reasoning is often poor. As a result, it is hard or even impossible for the asylum-seeker to argue against the conclusions in such reports. In some cases courts have ruled that language analysis should be carried out by professional linguists. De Taalstudio connects people who need language analysis or contra-expertise to linguists with the relevant background. In some cases the linguist is asked to produce a language analysis from scratch, including an interview with the applicant. In most cases, the linguist writes a report with a 'second opinion' or provides a 'contra-expertise'. By 'second opinion' we mean a commentary by the linguist on the validity of the linguistic arguments provided in a particular language analysis. A second opinion involves an analysis of the report, not of the data that the report is based on (i.e. the taperecorded interview). In the case of a 'contra-expertise', the linguist analyses the original tape-recorded interview with the asylum seeker. On the basis of this analysis, the linguist produces a short report, stating whether the language variety of the asylum seeker provides evidence for or against this person's claim that he is from a particular region. Address for Applications: Attn: dr. Maaike Verrips Postbus 12 Monnickendam, 1140 AA Netherlands Position is open until filled Contact Information: dr.

Topic: How would I do this?...
Alright. I am having trouble determining how I am going to accomplish something.
The software I am writing is to keep track of jobs taking down and setting up garden centers around North America. In addition to keeping track of the jobs, I also have to keep track of which items are at which job. Ie, which components, buildings, units etc.
I have it structured somewhat like this:
Database Tables:
jobs {id, location_id, comments }
locations {id, companyname, storenumber, addressinfo etc}
crewmembers {id, name}
items {id, quantity, job_id, model_id, colour_id, numshelves}
models {id, category_id, part_no, description }
categories {id, title}
colours {id, title}
crewmembers_jobs {crewmwmber_id, job_id}
The relationships are all what you would expect.
A job has_one location, belongs_to_and_has_many crewmembers, has_many items
A crewmember belongs_to_and_has_many jobs
A model has_many items
A category has_many models
A colour has_many items
Now, one thing I cannot figure out a good way of doing is when I create a new job, I am ok with creating the locaiton on a seperate screen, but is there a nice, streamlined way to add items to a job? A job can have up to 100 different items, so I want to do it in a way where when creating a new job, I have a table which contains items belonging to the job, where the process of adding one would be to select a quantity, colour and number of shelves etc. for the item.
Hmmm... after reading that, it looks as clear as mud, but I don't know how to phrase it clearer. Pretty much I am looking for a way to create multiple active records from the same page on the fly. Does that make more sense?
Any help would be much appreciated. I like Ruby so far,, but I'm still learning...

Naot Kayla Rumba Leather Women's Sandal
Features include:
This Style is part of the Elegant collection
This Style has a narrow to medium fit
I have been wearing this style for over 20 years . It has bee the best cure for my plantar fasciatis. They go on when I first get up and off at bedtime . I only wish that the Velcro on the straps lasted as long as the shoes . Maybe you can look into that issue. Also it is difficult to find them in navy and hunter green !!!! The best shoe ever for my feet . Please do not change them ! Thank you !
I wish I could wear these shoes year round. I have no pain in my heels any more thanks to these Naot sandals! I even wear them as slippers! They saved my feet and are more comfortable than tennis shoes, I plan to buy two more pairs in different colors. WELL worth the money!
I had so much pain in my heels until I found these sandals. If I could wear these shoes all year long, I would never have foot pain again. I wear them with everything but dresses, even around the house as slippers. They also wear very well as this is the 4 year in a row of wearing them. Very much worth the money!
These are wonderfully comfortable and look great. I have two pairs, one black leather and one nubuck and wear them all the time.
These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn.I have Morton's neuroma in both feet plus arthritis in one foot and have a lot of bother finding shoes that don't hurt, but from the moment I put these on I didn't want to wear anything else. In fact they were a joy to wear, perhaps they are not the most stylish of shoes but with comfort like this who cares. I am now looking for some winter Naots perhaps Matai.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (330 votes).
In short: Compact with more bends than a central heating system!!!!In full: This is the 2nd Jayne Tomlinson 10k I have attended, namely York in 2009. Typically, it's very organised with the exception of the start. I didnt expect the wall of people I was about to encounter for the first two miles with slower runners and walkers seemed to get in front despite the signage of Runners, Joggers and Walkers for the partakers to go into. The course itself is compact and has far too many bends to consider a PB. I maybe speaking as a purist here and may be a little unfair as many people were there to complete it for fun. It was a flat course for the most part and for the fun runners the marina area would have been a highlight. The finish was well organised and for the most part it was an enjoyable experience. One more note, it was 22c at the start at 9am!!! Date of review: May 24, 2010
In short: Flat, hot and great fun!Date of review: May 24, 2010
In short: A great event, well organised, great support, nice flat course.In full: Despite the absolutely scorching weather today was absolutely brilliant, the crowds were great, the course was nice and flat (and even managed to make Hull look quite nice!). Organisation was excellent, can't praise it highly enough, great great event.Date of review: May 23, 2010
In short: A Great EventIn full: Extremely well organised, a glorious day that made it very hot for running. Yet another superb Jane Tomlinson 10km you can't beat the atmosphere. Lots of fab support especially from the RNLI and Mcmillan supporters. Thank you. See you again Date of review: May 23, 2010
In short: Great race, mildly challenging course, amazing crowds. All for a great cause.Date of review: May 17, 2010

In short: a nice run through leeds could do without the bottle neck just after the start though but all in all a nice run out very well organisedDate of review: August 6, 2009
In short: Far too busy for meIn full: I'm glad I did but can't see me doing it again. To busy and never really felt I had space to kick me legs. Great support from crowd and marshalls. Well organised and hope it carrys on raising lots of money.I personally wasn't a fan of the course route either.Date of review: August 5, 2009

Anyone have an idea of how much (weight wise) sausage is used on a 10 inch Neapolitan pizza? And a 12 inch? We have a catering gig coming up where the family wants us to use the sausage they make at their deli, and I'm trying to figure out how much sausage to request from them.1/6 lb per pizza?
Just an idea. Why don't you buy a pound of their sausage and make a 12" pie to your liking. Weigh the unused portion of sausage and you got your answer.Mark
What unused portion?
Do you guys pre cook the sausage or put it on raw? I'm thinking NP you would pre cook and NY you could go raw cause of the longer bake time or maybe NP raw cause of the high temp, crap I don't know

Expanding internet connectivity in Afghanistan
Named after the Great Silk Road trading route linking Asia and Europe, the SILK-Afghanistan project provides high-speed internet access via satellite and fiber optics to 18 Afghan universities as well as some governmental institutions in Kabul. The project assists the Afghan authorities in developing their educational system. It became operational at Kabul University in Afghanistan in 2006 and the network has since been expanded to the provinces.
Today, the vast majority of university students and lecturers from 18 universities in Baghlan, Balkh, Bamiyan, Faryab, Ghazni, Helmand, Herat, Jawzjan, Kabul (four universities), Kandahar, Khost, Kunduz, Nangarhar, Paktia and Parwan provinces are connected to the information highway through the SILK-Afghanistan project. A further four universities in Badakhshan, Kapisa, Samangan and Takhar, are expected to be added to the network by summer 2013.
Over the past few years, the Afghan Ministry of Higher Education and some fifteen universities across the country have been equipped with video conferencing systems and the aim is eventually to equip all universities with this facility.
A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), which has been up-and-running since autumn 2009, provides internet connectivity to a number of government and academic institutions in Kabul. The MAN consists of a WiMax "blanket" connected to the network operation centre at Kabul University.
SILK-Afghanistan is jointly funded by the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) programme and the US Department of State. In addition to connectivity, it provides extra funding to build information technology (IT) infrastructure and to train IT staff at the universities.
The programme builds on NATO's experience of initiating and running the "Virtual Silk Highway" project, which provided high-speed internet access (via satellite) in NATO's partner countries in the South Caucasus and Central Asia from 2002 to 2010.

If you have a teen, chances are you've encountered the puzzling phenomenon of your kid not caring about driving. What?? Why don't today's teens want to drive?
Have a little one who gets a little scared during Halloween? Or has other fears and anxieties. Amalah has written a beautifully illustrated and customizable book that explains that fear is a normal emotion and helps children understand it's OK if they don't feel brave all the time.
The kids are kept super busy at the MDA camps, many getting to do things they never thought they could do. And they're not embarrassed if they don't do it well, either, because it's all in the trying, not in the results.

Reviews of this property
Rita is a great person very friendly and easy going
the property is as seen in the pictures the view is more than satisfying
Neighborhood not ideal but it doesnt play much difference since in our case we had a car
the parking requires a basic skill since the path is kinda narrow as driving up 5 levels is not like parking in the street
kitchen is sufficient leading to the balcony
room is quite and the morning light if you choose to have the blinds lowered is ideal if the weather id sunny
dining in the lounge is classy with wooden floor
we really enjoyed our stay
Very nice host. Great communication. Appartment was exactly as described and shown on the pictures. Rita showed us where to go and what to see and how to use public transportation.
We had a great time in Graça in Rita´s lovely apartment.
The view from the balcony is great and the area has some nice stores and restaurants, while not being overly crowded.
Rita was super nice and even picked us up from the airport, which was greatly appreciated.
The apartment was nice and spacious and I would recommend anyone to come.
Slight Minus: The apartment was not perfectly clean, one of the cabinet doors was broken. Solid 9 Points though
We are happy to return to this apartement which we appreciate very much. Our hostess is very friendly and arranged everything to make our stay in the appartement comfortable. We really recommend anyone to rent this appartement. The view is really beautiful!
Super apartment. Super nice landlord. And all within easy reach.
Super Apartment . Super nette Vermieter. Und alles schnell zu erreichen.
Upon arrival we had to wait 20 minutes before Rita came. This despite the fact that we had mailed the plane's arrival time several times and that the plane was not delayed. Servant to stand and wait when you have traveled all day.
We were given no instruction on how we got rid of the various wastes. Had even seek us forward to it.
TV did not. Usually we are not TV addicts on vacation. A couple of evenings where we were at home there was Champ. League matches, which we unfortunately missed.
After a few days the drain from the toilet leaking and ran dirty water on the floor when we pulled out. Disgusting. It was immediately sms announced a return message that it had not happened before, and a "have a nice day". Otherwise, nothing happened. We had to put a small bottle underneath leak that may be empty after each lavage. The last was days there were also problems with the push-button lavage was stuck when it was pressed. Unsatisfactory !!
Lovely location, lovely decorated and furnished.
Ved ankomsten måtte vi vente 20 min inden Rita kom. Det til trods for at vi havde mailet flyets ankomsttidspunkt flere gange og at flyet ikke var forsinket. Træls at stå og vente når man har rejst hele dagen.
Vi fik ingen instruktion om hvordan vi kom af med det forskellige affald. Måtte selv søge os frem til det.
TV virkede ikke. Normalt er vi ikke TV-narkomaner på ferie. Et par aftener hvor vi var hjemme var der Champ. League kampe, som vi desværre missede.
Efter et par dage blev afløbet fra toilettet utæt og der løb snavset vand ud på gulvet når vi trak ud. Ulækkert. Det blev straks sms meddelt, med en retur besked om at det ikke var sket før, og et "have a nice day". Ellers skete der intet. Vi måtte sætte en lille flaske nedenunder utætheden, som vi måtte tømme efter hver udskyldning. De sidste var dage var der også problemer med at trykknappen for udskyldning sad fast når den var trykket ned. Utilfredsstillende!!
Dejlig beliggenhed, dejlig indrettet og møbleret.
The apartment is very tastefully decorated and has a great view of the Tagus, (not the old town) One should able to walk (or 5 minute bus Range), because the path to the Graca neighborhood is quite steep.
Rita is a wonderful and very useful apartment owner, who are many good tips. Come any time you back.
Peter and gi
Das appartment ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und hat einen tollen blick auf den Tejo,(nicht auf die Altstadt) Man sollte gut zu Fuss sein (oder Bus in 5 Minuten Enfernung), denn der Weg zum Graca Viertel ist recht steil.
Rita ist eine wundervolle und sehr hilfreiche Wohnungsbesitzerin, die viele gute Tips gibt. Kommen jederzeit wieder gerne zurück.
Peter und gi
We had a wonderfull time in the flat with splendid view on the tejo
Rita out host was very helpfull with travelling from the airport to the apartment
Information,and ordering a taxi.
Modern clean flat, next to tram metro and Railway and a kind host
I recommend it to every body
Nice apartment, ferry close to the most thing in Lisbon. The apparment was very clean and Rita was helpsome.
Preben and Susanne
Very nice appartment with amazing view. There is a main shopping street nearby where the famous tram 28 stops and with a 15 minute walk you are downtown Lisbon. Rita is very helpfull in pointing out the highlights.
We used the appartment as a base to discover the Lisbon area. It takes a day to get used to the steep streets but it is easy getting around and we were able to park in front of the building. The appartment has a parking spot in de garage though.

Short Retro Bob Women Hair Cut
A flirty and fun look, this hairstyle by Keller is every bit young and adorable. The curves and loops under the fringe make the locks dense and solid especially when the gloss is applied. The long edgy layer on the side, which extends to the jaw create an asymmetry of jet black locks and dark brown highlights. Although the density limits its movement, it is refined, thick, and solid but still bubbly and classy.

Love the Avert Brothers. I came in late of them---only first heard them when they did Austin City Limits (the same way I found Amos Lee) but have made up for lost time. They make complicated songs sound deceptively simple, and I can identify with their lyrics.
"Kick Drum Heart" is my ringtone.

I second all the Band of Horses post. Now is a great time to be introduced to them because their album just came out! I suggest heading over to their website and taking a listen to their awesome live videos. Listen!!
Just because someone mentioned Jim Croce earlier, I felt this cover was appropriate.

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

Get these albums
Drag the River - Closed
Old 97's - Too Far To Care
Lucero - Tennessee
Two Cow Garage - Please Turn the Gas Back On
Any Drag The River album is good. The first three are probably the best, with Closed being most people's favorite and their third full length "It's Crazy" being a close second...but I think Hobos Demos is a better introduction to the band, and my personal favorite. They are hands down my favorite band and are also awesome guys. The first few Liverpool albums are must haves also. The first two or three Two Cow albums are also great, but they really walk the line between country and rock, and get more rock and roll as the keep releasing albums.
