Fallon debut historical, not funny
March 3, 2009
Monday's always a great TV day for me, with "24" in primetime and often a new "Daily Show" late. This week, however, I was most excited for what was in between.
Monday marked the debut of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," an experience I both feared and anticipated. I've never been a big fan of Fallon, going back to his days on "Saturday Night Live." I cringed whenever it was his time to host "Weekend Update," and I hated the notion that he was funny because he cracked up laughing during a sizable portion of the skits that involved him. If that's all that is required to be funny, I know a lot of kids in high school plays who deserve a chance at SNL.
Still, I was interested to see what he would do on his first chance at "Late Night," since taking over the show from longtime host Conan O'Brien, who will take "The Tonight Show" duties from Jay Leno this summer. Would he slay me with his ability to channel humor? Would there be something genius about his show?
Ummmm ... here's what I remembered from his first hour on air:
• His monologue ended with a note about the stimulus package passed by Congress. It was presented as a "slow jam" as if Barry White returned from the dead to deliver the news. It was then I noticed The Roots, one of my favorite bands over the last decade, was Fallon's backup band. Am I impressed with Fallon, or disappointed in the Roots?
• Audience members were brought on stage, and one was given $10 to lick a lawn mower. They really did that. Yes, really. I would love to have been there when somebody said, "Hey Jimmy, let's pay somebody to lick a lawn mower." Did Fallon say, "It's genius, we'll go with it," or was there a worse idea, causing them to go back to the lawn mower thing?
• Fallon's first interview was with Justin Timberlake, and the two had an awkwardly amusing conversation full of mock singing. I think I would watch "Late Night With Justin Timberlake."
I doubt I'll be watching Fallon that often, but I'm glad I got to see the passing of the torch. When it comes to the top three networks and their late-night shows, the hosts just don't change that often. The new kid on the block is Craig Ferguson, who started four years ago with CBS, and neither he nor ABC's Jimmy Kimmel appear to be moving on anytime soon.
Then there's O'Brien, who takes over "The Tonight Show" on June 1. It didn't look like he'd survive his first 13-week contract, let alone 15 years in the post-Leno slot.
But over time, he won NBC over with characters like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who famously reported outside the Michael Jackson trial that, "none of us can really know if Michael is innocent or guilty. But there is one thing we do know ... he's guilty."
And then there were skits like the "Walker: Texas Ranger" lever, which Conan would pull to play random clips from the Chuck Norris Show. Or "Frankenstein Wastes a Minute of Our Time," where Frankenstein would have the camera follow him to a power outlet. The skits were chuckle-worthy, but more funny when you knew the motivation for those jokes — when NBC and Universal Entertainment merged, those shows and characters didn't cost NBC anything to use.
O'Brien has promised he won't change for the new time slot, and his "the joke is the joke" humor will remain. I guess June 1 is one more Monday I can look forward to.

Charter schools do very well in Business Week's list of America's Best High Schools.
Working with GreatSchools, the magazine identified the highest performing and most improved high school in each states, the best high school serving a low-income population and the public and private schools rated highest by GreatSchools visitors.
According to Charter Blog, only 5 percent of high schools are charters, but 14 percent of top performers and 14 percent low-income top performers, 21 percent of most improved and 18 percent of the favorites are charter schools.
Many of the non-charter public schools use admissions tests to choose students. Charters aren't allowed to screen students, but they have the advantage of being schools of choice: Parents have decided that's where they want their kids to be.
You have to click on the pictures to see the best in each state, which is annoying. It took me five tries to find California. My daughter's alma mater, Palo Alto High, is listed as "best improved," which is odd. It didn't have much room for improvement. I guess science scores went up.

By the kind diligence of cousin Viv, we were able to obtain a facsimile of the rear of the card on which Victor's photograph was mounted. A copy was sent to Ron and he has dated the image to between 1880 and 1886, which would make Victor at least 57 years old. Not a great leap for Kahnkind but every snippet offers potential benefits. Thanks to all concerned.

Pa. inmate denies hiding phone in prosthetic legAP , Associated Press
Apr. 2, 2013 9:55 AM ET
UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A former Pennsylvania jail inmate says he didn't sneak a cellphone into the lockup in his prosthetic leg, though he acknowledged having it for a year as he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
Instead, 28-year-old Christopher Greer, of Uniontown, tells a judge the phone was in his cargo shorts when he reported in 2011 to serve a sentence for driving on a suspended license.
Greer says he kept the phone because inmates at the Fayette County lockup 40 miles south of Pittsburgh must pay $4 per call.
Greer pleaded guilty Tuesday, but the warden doesn't believe Greer smuggled the phone in either his pocket or his leg, as county detectives charged. Brian Miller says both would have been searched too thoroughly for that.

In preparation for the Strange Fire conference in October, we will post a new Strange Fire media blog every week. You can always catch up with the latest audio and video clips at the conference media site here, or sign up for the RSS feed and have them delivered to you.
Today we're going to hear from John MacArthur as he answers questions about what it means to be "led by the Spirit," and if that is a temporary spiritual state for believers.

The Holy Spirit convicts of sin?
to prove or declare guilty of an offense, especially after a legal trial: to convict a prisoner of a felony.
to impress with a sense of guilt.
I strongly doubt that the Holy Spirit whom lives within believing Christians would declare them guilty. Instead, He would lead us to repentance and declare that our sin was paid for by Christ's substitutionary atonement. A saved, not saved, conflict is not healthy for those who are resting in Jesus' work.

I am so eager for this conference. What a needed message to the evangelical church today! Praise God! Will it be broadcasted live at all like some of the past conferences have been?

I'm not sure I understand your argument. Are you saying the Holy Spirit doesn't work to inform and direct our consciences? That He doesn't employ our God-given internal warning system when we're sinning? I think you got stuck on understanding conviction only as a final declaration, but the Spirit does work through our consciences to, as your second definition put it, "impress with a sense of guilt" whenever we sin.
I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to it. We're still in the planning process regarding some aspects, including whether we'll be able to stream it live online. We might not have an answer until we get closer to the conference, but we'll be sure to let you know once we do.
And you can always check www.tmstrangefire.org for the latest news and conference information.
Matthew, in addition to what Jeremiah said...
You affirmed the Spirit leads us to repentance. Repentance requires an acknowledgment of what one is turning *from*. Don't get hung up by the English dictionary which isn't at all striving to explain biblical words. In the Bible, conviction (sensing the guilt of sin) is the first step toward repentance.
In other words, conviction is like the pain sensors that tell you to take your hand off the hot stove. Praise God for such a Spirit-led conscience that protects us from falling deeper into sin!
Matthew, adding on to what others have said,
Jesus made it clear in John 16 that it was going to be to the disciples advantage that He was going away, as He would send the Holy Spirit to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Before the Holy Spirit was sent, man was incapable of seeing himself as a sinner in need of a savior. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that we can be quickened spiritually and our eyes opened to our utter wretchedness. Prior to the Holy Spirit's regeneration, we cannot see ourselves as God sees us, and thus the primary work that occurs is our sense of conviction.
It is after this conviction that we can accept, by faith, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is then that the Holy Spirit seals us, which is evident in our lives by our change in thinking and the outpouring the fruit of the Spirit. Once the Holy Spirit resides within us, He works to transform us and, as Jeremiah and Gabriel pointed out, He lets us know when we sin. This conviction occurs when we grieve the Holy Spirit.
Praise be to God that He tells us to come just as we are, but doesn't let us stay just as we were.
Looking at the two places where being "led by the Spirit" occur it is clear that He leads the child of God to crucify the sinful nature (Galatians 5:17-24) or as Roamsn 8:14 says, "to put to death the misdeeds of the body." In other words, one of the most important aspects of His leadership is that He leads us into battle against the old sinful desires that still hang on (residue) while we are in this body.
He is our general in the ongoing battle of magnify Christ with our lives. What a call, what an honor, what grace!

Chief executive officer of Qualcomm, one of the world's largest developers of chips for cell phones and other low-power electronics, said that mobile computers with low cost and limited capabilities – netbooks – may become more popular compared to fully-fledged notebooks. Qualcomm will not stand still and will actively try to penetrate the netbook market.
"It could be substantially larger than the existing notebook market. When you get down to those lower price points, your addressable market expands very quickly," said Paul Jacobs in an interview with Bloomberg news-agency during the CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At present the vast majority of netbooks are based on Intel Atom processors, but late in 2008 Qualcomm unveiled its Snapdragon platform that could enable netbooks that cost about $200, a price-point that has never been tapped by modern netbooks from companies like Acer Group, Asustek Computer, Dell or Hewlett Packard.
Considering the fact that Qualcomm Snapdragon consumes less power than Intel Atom platforms, it is obvious that netbooks powered by the "alternative" platform should offer numerous benefits, such as longer battery life and sleeker designs. However, since the platform is based on 1GHz ARM processors, it cannot run Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 and other programs that require processors with x86 micro-architecture. As a result, Snapdragon has considerably more chances in smartphone and MID markets, but not in PC-derived netbooks.
Still, the chief executive of Qualcomm hopes that Linux-based Snapdragon netbooks will gain popularity. According to Mr. Jacobs, there are fifteen manufacturers, including Acer, Toshiba Corp. and Samsung Electronics, who are working on devices based on the Snapdragon platform. No details regarding those devices have been revealed so far, but what is known is that the first mobile Internet device (MID) to use Snapdragon is Toshiba's TG01 smartphone.

Conservation efforts like these are just but part of the mission the Palm Beach Zoo has taken upon itself to fulfill. Education is one of the most important torches the zoo carries. "The more work done with these animals, the more we learn, the broader the body of knowledge becomes," Aiken says. "It falls to us to share what we know."
Visiting the Palm Beach Zoo is essentially an experience—from the small ones, like animal encounters, signage accompanying exhibits and simple observation, to the more in-depth and targeted ones, including teacher workshops, summer camp, the Wild Zoo Adventure Children's Workshop and outreach programs.
"We have grown more and more toward more formalized education programs," Aiken says. The goal is to start early, from stroller and mommy and me programs that "encourages parents to bring in their children for hands-on, tactile learning in our educational complex" and follow the child through their school years, he says.
2012 and 2013 have marked big gains in the education front for the zoo. A summer program launched last year for juniors and seniors in high school brought students in for a weeklong zoological course alongside zoo staff. The science-based course gave students a behind-the-scenes look at the zoo, from operations to animal care, all while expounding the mission and purposes of zoos.
In the spring of the 2012-13 school year, the introduction of a new initiative, Zoo School, brings the classroom directly to the zoo for a truly unique experience. Open to Title I fifth-grade classes in the immediate vicinity (if all goes well, the program will expand next school year), the class will come to the zoo for an entire week, using the education complex as a classroom. Students will have their regular studies (math, English and history lessons) as well as science but with an animal conservation twist, replete with animals encounters and discussions with zoo keepers throughout the day. It's the ultimate field trip.
In the vein of continued education, the zoo has teamed with Florida Atlantic University for the first time to offer a college conservation course. The one-credit course, taught by zoo staff approved by FAU and deemed associate professors, gives students first-hand experience while garnering greater insight into the demands of zoological careers, from animal care, husbandry and training to conservation medicine and veterinary care. It also delves into field conservation and research, and technology and environmental education.
But education is not limited to the knowledge expounded through classrooms and public programs but through the research the zoo is constantly undertaking. In the last five years, 45 scientific publications have been published by zoo staff, from points on animal care in zoos to conservation in the wild.
"The real stars of the zoo, in my mind, are our keepers," Aiken says. "We have 21 keepers and a number of zoological manager/curatorial positions, with more than 80 percent having a background in hard-science—biology, chemistry, zoological sciences."
This stems back to the zoo's first branch of the mission, conservation. This is the zoo's sole purpose, from the animal ambassadors on exhibit, involvement in SSP programs, to research in animal care in captivity as well as work in the field, everything imparts to conservation efforts to save species from the brink. The zoo as a moneymaking proposition is a losing one, but the money raised through fundraising, admission and donations goes to the animals in their care and conservation efforts in the field. The zoo's involvement is not limited to a check and some signage on the property but is an active participant in the field, be it through data collecting, hard-science and lab work or manual labor, like helping with the construction of wildlife corridors in Argentina for jaguars.
Each branch of the mission, conservation/research, animal care/exhibits and education all act as a leg of a tripod, each contributing to preserve and protect. But in the end, it all comes down to the people who walk through that gate to take a look at the tigers and monkeys.
"Our mission is animals," Aiken says. "We want to bring people in here to explain that mission of conservation, that there needs to be a sustainable balance with food and land development, a knowledge of watershed, where our water comes from and the affect of our daily lives ... We need to make that story compelling, because when it's compelling, it strikes a chord."

Agree with you all again, no matter how much we have disagreed in the past (and may in the future) your points of view are very informed, sometimes enlightning and ALWAYS sincere and/or funny/and or very interesting! Never wasting each other's time like XXX.
The singles as you point out are a wonderful topic, because the songs are astonishing in every way! It's very interesting to note the time period where they were recorded/released, then imagining them onto the album of that time and WHEW BABY! what lp's those evolve into!

Topic: Pagination with AJAX
I have a page that has several paginated lists on it. When someone selects next ot previous page on one of the lists, I'd like for only that list to be updated in an AJAXy way.
I'ev found a few postts on blogs and places, but none of them seem to give the full story. For example, one gives a controller method, then says 'then just write the appropriate RJS and you're done'.
Well, sadly, I have no idea what would be the appropriate RJS. I've been at this a few days now, and finally have decided that maybe I should just ask if anyone knows of any examples or instructions on how to do this.

Twice Baked Rosemary Blue Potato Mash
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary leaves
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups crumbled blue cheese (recommended: Shropshire blue)
Butter a 6 to 8 cup shallow baking dish.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, garlic, rosemary and pepper, to taste, until the butter is melted. Allow it to sit over very low heat to infuse flavors and keep hot while cooking the potatoes.
In a large pot, add the potatoes, cover with water and add a heavy pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Immediately drain the potatoes and then put them back into hot pot over very low heat, to dry thoroughly. Next, pass them through a food mill over a bowl. If you don't have a food mill, you can hand mash or use a ricer.
Preheat the oven broiler.
Remove the smashed garlic from warm butter and whisk in about 1 cup of the blue cheese. By hand, mix the cheese sauce into the potatoes and season with a little salt and pepper, to taste. Spread into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Broil until the cheese is golden and melting, about 3 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve.

In South Korea, the United States, and Japan, the number of 4G/LTE subscribers surpassed that of WiMAX subscribers in the recent quarters, according to monitoring of the early progress of 4G/LTE by ABI Research.
"Japan, South Korea, and the United States used to have strong mobile WiMAX proponents, so while the momentum and future of WiMAX and 4G/LTE are clear, it is somewhat surprising to see how long the subscriber crossover has actually taken. In mid-2014, even subscribers to 4G/LTE in TDD mode will have surpassed WiMAX subscribers at which point WiMAX subscribers will begin their permanent, slow decline," said Phil Solis, a research director at ABI.
TD-4G/LTE subscriber growth is slow with only a handful of smaller mobile operators currently servicing active subscribers. This will greatly accelerate towards the end of 2013 and into 2014 when larger mobile operators with TDD spectrum start adding 4G/LTE subscribers – especially China Mobile.
4G/LTE handsets are the primary 4G/LTE devices for the foreseeable future capturing 77% of the 4G/LTE products market in 2011. This percentage is dipping a bit in 2012 as 4G/LTE external modems and media tablets with embedded 4G/LTE modules pick up, but 4G/LTE handsets will surpass 80% of device shipments during 2016. A few gating factors are holding back a potential explosion of non-handset 4G/LTE devices, but these are starting to get resolved and most of these factors will deteriorate over the next few years.
"The relatively new data share plans leave room for improvement and represent one diminishing factor holding back the wider 4G/LTE device market. Another is related to new and unique 4G/LTE chipset solutions coming to market over the next few years. However, one of the factors that will remain is the complexity and cost around mobile technology royalties and litigation," said Mr. Solis.

GALESBURG—The Carl Sandburg College Foundation will host the 20th annual Railroad Days Train & Toy Show from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. June 28 and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. June 29 at the Carl Sandburg College Main Campus in Galesburg, 2400 Tom L. Wilson Blvd.
The cost to attend the two-day event is $5 per person; children 12 and under are admitted for free. Concessions are available and a complimentary shuttle service between the Galesburg Amtrak station and the show will run every 30 minutes.
More than 60 vendors are slated to attend the event, which will include 250 merchandise tables and several model layouts for people to view. Visitors will also get a chance to see model trains and cars, Hot Wheels, NASCAR, military memorabilia, dolls, coins and other toys and collectibles. Created as a one-time fundraiser and located in the gymnasium, the show now encompasses the majority of the College's campus. More than 2,000 people attended last year's event.
The train show was started in 1994 by retired Sandburg instructor Harry Grossman and has raised about $180,000 through the Carl Sandburg College Foundation for student scholarships. Grossman has been active in the train hobby all his life. He lives in Arizona and served as a consultant for this year's new volunteer Train Show coordinator, Larry Anglund of Galesburg.
The toy show, run by volunteer Barry Wainer of Galesburg, was added to the event ten years ago. In addition to all the toy vendors, another big attraction is a miniature hay baler that will be on display. Children are able to make their own mini hay bale and take it home with them.
For more information, call the Carl Sandburg College Foundation at 309.341.5349.

I love travelling almost as much as I love hot aloo ka paranthas with butter melting on top, which if you know me is saying that I love it a lot. The esteemed M has true wanderlust and is the sort of person who has the right nakshatra arrangement in his birth-chart to ensure travels far and wide. That and his innate love of planning mean that I am able to sit back, point at the globe and say, there, that is where I want to go for my next holiday. He pretty much takes care of the rest, scheduling the trip, booking the tickets, figuring out hotels (I help here because I absolutely love browsing through TripAdvisor) and then carting the family to the airport. Well, his supremely efficient secretary helps, of course but even so, it is rather convenient to be married to a planning/control freak. Most of the times, that is. I saunter in every now and then and proclaim - Ah, but there is a wonderful cafe on that street that we must try out, one of my blog friends said so. He normally ignores me when I have such pretensions of being the dreamy, creative sort.
To get to the things I love to do on vacation:
Catch a show/event: I have learnt that it's amazing fun to plan an entire trip around a rock show or an event. It is very exciting to go ALL THE WAY (I am only a villager at heart, see?) to see one's favourite rock act in action. In fact, I'd love to do a whole trip doing nothing but listening to music, like Bonnaroo for example. My best trip so far has been the birthday gift trip to Bologna to see my Metallica.
Visit the local shops: I think it's great fun to be able to look through the local shops. In Bruges, we got to see some amazing wooden toys in the shops and bought some for Adi (only a couple though, the Euro is forbidding). But I like to go through the supermarkets too, seeing the foreign sounding brand names, reading the labels in foreign languages and trying to figure what they contain and oh my absolute favourite - buying the cheapest still water in the store. I am not a fan of sparkling water. And I am cheap.
Try the local cuisine: Only if it is vegetarian of course but it's fun to go out and drink and eat as the locals do. When in Rome, eat pasta. That reminds me, when we first went to Italy, we ate so much and drank so much that we came back looking like a pair of absolute blimps. Seriously, nobody makes food like them. Give me a plate of zuppa de verdura, pasta and and a glass of Chianti and I am happy. Who wouldn't be?
Walk through the streets: I like ambling aimlessly through the streets of foreign cities, just looking at things and absorbing the feel of the place. M likes to DO things and all this wandering about and not getting anywhere is not such a great idea for him. Still, he puts aside slots in his meticulously planned schedule - 10 am - 10:45 am - Walk aimlessly through the streets and absorb culture/humour wife.
Sample the art : I like museums and galleries a lot. I can't draw or paint, my sister took the entire lot of artistic talent that had come my family's way but still, it's incredibly nice to look at paintings and to be amazed at people's talent. Later, I like to buy prints and take them home, frame them and put them up in my house and look at them and be reminded of how we were in the presence of greatness once.
I think it's a lovely tag. I am surprised at how I don't particularly like to take pictures on trips. Hmm, something to be said about that. Tell me what you like to do on vacations in the comment space or take this up as a tag.

Ford EcoBoost Demand Booms as Overall EV Sales Soften
Shane McGlaun

Consumers choose fuel efficient normal vehicles over EVs and hybrids
Despite the fact that gas prices are at record levels in many parts of the country, the sales of electric vehicles are still falling. Many consumers are staying away from electric vehicles due to the relatively high cost of entry and range anxiety (in the case of the Nissan Leaf).
Two of the most popular electric vehicles in the country are the
Chevrolet Volt
and the Nissan Leaf. The Volt isn't a traditional electric vehicle; rather it's an extended range hybrid that runs on battery power and features a generator to recharge the battery for extended driving. GM says that in the month of April 2012 1,462 Volts were sold, which represents 200% increase from April of 2011 when 493 were sold.
April was the second best month for retail sales of Volt cars since it launched in 2010. Interestingly, the good month for Volt sales comes not long after
GM suspended production
of the car due to soft demand.
Chevrolet Volt sales are up.
While sales of the Volt were up, the Nissan Leaf saw sales fall 35% with only 370 units sold. Nissan hopes to sell 20,000 Leaf EVs this year, and will have to sell over 2200 monthly to meet that goal.
While electric vehicle sales are down, Ford has a booming business with its fuel-efficient
EcoBoost-powered vehicles
. Ford has announced that it has started a third shift at the Cleveland plant that builds EcoBoost engines.
The addition of a third shift to the engine building plant will add 250 jobs. However, most of those positions will be filled by employees that are transferring from a different Cleveland engine plant that will be placed on idle later this week.
The 2013 Ford Fusion will offer two EcoBoost four-cylinder engine options.
"Our engine plant in Cleveland is the first and only facility in North America to produce EcoBoost engines, and we are tripling production capacity to meet customers' growing needs for fuel-efficient engines," said Ford Americas President Mark Fields during a celebration with employees at the plant Tuesday. "EcoBoost engines are a key part of our plan to give customers the power of choice — from EcoBoost-powered vehicles and hybrids, to plug-in hybrids and full electrics."
Ford's EcoBoost engine has found its way the under the hood of everything from
full-sized trucks
small economy vehicles
. EcoBoost engines use a smaller displacement engine with turbochargers for increased power and fuel efficiency.

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Techniques
December 23, 2010 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, Queen & Co.
Welcome to our First Ever 12 Days of Techniques. We are excited to share with you some of our favorite techniques using our unique color core cardstock. Each day a Design Team member is going to share a project featuring a technique with Core'dinationscardstock. We have TWELVE unique and amazing days lined up for you leading right into Christmas Eve Day.
In case you are just joining us today here is what we covered so far:
Day One: Sanding
Day Two: Tearing
Day Three: Embossing
Day Four: Debossing
Day Five: Distressing
Day Six: Scoring
Day Seven: Outlining
Day Eight: Label
Day Nine: Antiquing
Day Ten: Corrugating
And Today's Technique is AS IS!
Each day we will be giving away a great selection of Core'dinations! Each prize will also receive a Dust Buddy and our NEW Sand It Gadget! And today we have one of our favorite sponsors and they have a prize for you in addition to the Core'dinations prize pack! Make sure you leave a comment here letting us know how much you have been enjoying the 12 Days of Techniques! AND if you missed any of the previous days, you can check out the videos by CLICKING HERE.
AND today we have some extra goodies for you to win from….
Queen & Co. has a wonderful selection of embellishments and their colors are designed to Core'dinate specifically with our cardstock!!!
So I mentioned that today's is to use our Core'dinations Cardstock just as it is. What does that mean exactly? You don't always have to sand Core'dinations in order to enjoy the great quality. Core'dinations can be your go to cardstock for all your projects. Today Design Team member Kimber McGray created projects with stamping. Yes, you can stamp on your Core! If you don't like to stamp on textured cardstock, than just flip it over and use the back. Notice how Kimber stamped on the backside but then used the textured side (the front) of the Core'dinations for her layered card bases. Beautiful!
Note on this first card that Kimber also drew a frame on the card base…don't be afraid to write on your Core, too!
Look closely at this card. Kimer embossed on the textured white card base. GORGEOUS!
And another beauty here using some color blocking as the base. No sanding required!
So who is ready for yesterday's WINNER??????????????????
I am 😉
Helene says:
Wow, what a great idea!

Since there's been some chat about "roasting your own" lately, I thought I'd share some pics of my home roast. This is a combo of roasted organic pearl barley, organic short-grain rice, and organic wild rice... pan-roasted on the stovetop in a skillet. The total cost of the rice and barley used to make a large cannister of mugicha-genmai was under $4.00 and will last me for a month or more.
To brew, I put about 2 tablespoons of the dry roasted grain in a large decanter, pour about a cup of boiling water over it, and let it cool... then I add cool water and stick it in the fridge. When the liquid level gets low, I add more cool water and let it sit overnight. I can easy get 3 or 4 days worth of infusion from this, and probably more. The flavor just won't quit.
I find the taste very roasty, smooth, no bitterness, and very noticeable sweet finish with no sweetener added... I think this is the starch coming out of the grains. Chip has done some blending with blendable sencha and mugicha and is very happy with the results and I will be trying this. But for these photos, there is no tea leaf in this brew... just the grain.
Closeup of the dry mix before brewing (sorry its alittle blurry):
Hope you enjoy,

Clamps fit perfectly under your workbench
Club member Floyd Ingersoll of Buffalo, Minnesota, wanted an effective, space-saving way to store his long bar clamps. As he glanced around his workshop, inspiration hit � he could use the underside of his workbench for additional storage. He fastened perforated hardboard to the framework beneath the workbench top and used various pipe hangers to store his many clamps. Hanging beneath the workbench, they�re always within easy reach.

Warm response to CAA?fundraiser
This week's bouquets go to:
From Bill Dubord and Cathy Pearson of the Community Action Agency in Escanaba:
"Over the years we've been part of scores of Big Brat Sales and Walks for Warmth. Still, what we witnessed last week was particularly astonishing and heartwarming.
Our Big Brat Sale took place Feb. 8 in Delta County. Response from brat lovers, volunteers, sponsors and CAA workers warmed us like no other. The response was fantastic – a record for sales.
"The support from our caring, giving communities for a number of causes is nothing new. Even in that context, the support we received for this sale was simply breathtaking.
There are no words that can display our gratitude.
"Please rest assured we will put your support to excellent use. Many residents in our communities must go cold simply because they don't have the resources they need to heat their homes. Funding from the CAA is a last-gasp effort to provide support after all other avenues have been exhausted.
"The Big Brat Sale is just a small part of our effort. It's a unique way to get the word out about the need. But the event that really counts is Walk for Warmth, scheduled for Feb. 23 in Menominee, Escanaba and Manistique. That's the one that usually drums up thousands of dollars of support. Once again we will go, with hat in hand, reminding residents the need is great – almost as great as their generosity.
"Thanks again to all. Your care and support cannot be applauded enough."
From the Escanaba Upper Elementary PTO:
"A huge thank you to the students, families and staff of the Upper Elementary for making our recent Italian Night Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser another big success. Your support was overwhelming and so very much appreciated."
Each Saturday the Daily Press salutes individuals and groups from our area who have had a very positive impact on the way we live.
We identify our bouquet recipients in one of two ways: from Daily Press news pages and from nominations sent in by our readers.
Mail us a postcard or letter identifying your nomination and putting into detail what they've done. Include your name, address, and phone number. Send nominations to Saturday Bouquets, The Daily Press, 600 Ludington Street, Escanaba, MI 49829.
They may also be sent to us by going to our Web site, www.dailypress.net, and clicking on the submit news button. Once there, click on "Bouquets" and follow the simple instructions.

Skip to comments.A Less Obvious Reason Why GOP Should Cave on Obamas Immigration Plan: Its Conservative
Posted on 01/30/2013 8:51:39 AM PST by Army Air Corps
For all the talk about President Obamas liberalism, his immigration agenda is the last thing you might expect: conservative.
His enemies might deny it. His staff might not recognize it. But the argument Obama presented Tuesday for a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants is rooted in economic and social conservatism.
First, in a Las Vegas address that included the words economy or economic 10 times, Obama argued that immigration fuels corporate innovation. It keeps our workforce young. It keeps our country on the cutting edge, he said. And its helped build the greatest economic engine the world has ever known.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationaljournal.com ...
If that plan is "conservative", Obama actually was qualified to get into Harvard, too.
Illegals are government growth hormone and anyone who supports amnesty and calls themselves a conservative is a liar.
30 million illegals is enough to create some 50 new congressional districts (primarily democrat) and all the costs, pork, earmarks, entitlements, and liberal votes associated with them.
This is nothing more than a plan to politically exterminate conservatism in America.
What's going to happen with all these illegals becoming legal? Right now, most are working - but they are working under the table for less than minimum wage. Once they become legal, their employers will have to increase their pay. How attractive will they be to employ? How many will suddenly become unemployed? I can't wait for all this to happen...
11 million people with 2nd grade educations are going to fuel corporate innovation? Yeah right...
"His enemies might deny it. His staff might not recognize it. But the argument Obama presented Tuesday for a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants is rooted in economic and social conservatism."
Rooted in economic and social conservatism? Hmmm. Nah, not feeling it Ron. Therefore, I'm still an enemy and still denying it. In his entire political career, BHO has never done anything remotely economically and social conservatve.
What a crock!
Yeah, right. Like importing millions of people who are barely literate is going to breed technical innovation. If that were the case, mexico would be a technological and innovative powerhouse. Enforcing existing law and setting a high standard for immigration guarantees quality new Americans, not throwing open the floodgates for millions of potential welfare recipients.
Ron Fournier is a Communist. His articles are assuredly leftist going back many years.
I don't trust this article one bit.
Red Herring Alert!
Conservative is to secure the border and enforce the law.
Let the chips fall.
So enabling illegal activity is now "conservative?"
Well let's see...Food prices will have to go up, and landscaping, hotel/motel housekeeping, construction labor, etc.
The unemployment numbers will have a sudden upward jump, as will expenditures for unemployment benefits, food stamps, etc.
So to sum up: Your cost of living will go up, Your competition for jobs will go up. Your national debt and probably your taxes will go up.
Next question: Cui bono? Who stands to gain from legalizing the illegals?
Best bet on that citizenship trick is Congress grant them CANADIAN citizenship.
Conservative my Arse. I'll reluctantly agree to permanent resident status for the illegals already here, but NO PATH TO CITIZENSHIP!
Conservative my Arse. I'll reluctantly agree to permanent resident status for the illegals already here, but NO PATH TO CITIZENSHIP!
Somebody from National Journal is telling us what's "conservative." That's rich.
Well, one definition of 'conserve' is "to keep things the same" -- in that manner, yes [government] enabling illegal activity is quite conservative.
And when you give them permanent resident status they go off to court with the ACLU & get their voting rights granted.
Any article about illegal immigration containing the term "11 million" is garbage.
One of the reasons why the political class love the illegals is because those who have phony Social Security numbers are paying into a system and will not be able to collect. They are helping to keep the system afloat.
Once the illegals become legal, they will be eligible to draw... Even those who never paid in!
How stupid can you get?
Obama SAYS that these guys will join the workforce and be productive.
But even Obama isn't dumb enough to believe that. Some will do odd jobs. Some will join the welfare force. Some will join the drug gangs. Almost all will vote Democrat.
Yeah, good plan. Abort as many American babies as you can, at taxpayer expense, and as the workforce ages, bring in young Mexican illegals to replace them. Where is that leading us?
The most conservative principle is, "Rule of law."
If it's an O'Commie idea it's designed to destroy his opposition. Can anyone say slippery slope?
When that huge number of new socialists/democrats is added to the system the Constitution will quickly fade even as a phony justification for unconstitutional acts.Hugo Obamez will be with us a long time.
The "Latino" lobbying groups who push for this always seem to forget that there are more than Latin Americans in the illegal immigration numbers. There are millions of illegal immigrants from Asia, over a million from Africa, about half a million from Europe, etc. Do these folks get amnesty or is the amnesty candy only given to people from Latin America? I ask this because their assumption is that illegal immigration is only from Mexico in particular or Latin America as a whole. When I ask this question of the Amnesty pimps, I get a blank stare because it never occurred to them that there is such a thing as an illegal immigrant from places other than Latin American countries.
It would be conservative it implied the death penalty for those violating the rules and abusing the refugee status meant for true dissidents, getting dissidents truly harassed as they come here by the very human traffikers still following them legalized in the same neighborhood.
OBama is a criminal and a relentless homosexual pursuer of his victims. He is empowered, Lanza style, because he knows his date of death and suicide attack.
But the whole exercise of punishing with death penalty the treason of the treaty is pointless since the illegals already are getting away today with murder, litteraly.
Mexico playing the NAzi Hitler suedeten land politics each time one of theirs faces the death penalty in texas are acts of war that we ignore.
Keep messing around, eggs get broken both sides all the time when making "amnesty" omelettes, and winds can change.
Liberals keep messing around, but a Hitler who will not see the difference between a people needing to adopt a reasonable language and the race which adopted it might very well rise.
We know all too well our good willing thugs in government, how they go CYA and red in the face angry when their treachery or stupidity is exposed. I know a fascist and a pre-fascist when I see a nice and feminine one.
Once Amnesty is a fact, groups other than Latinos that tend to vote socialist to a large degree will be identified and included. The only way the Democrat party loses is if the immigration tide from Latin America swells to the level that a new and competing Socialist Party supplants the Democrat Party in the vote. The USA, of course, loses, no matter what.
Well lets see...Food prices will have to go up, and landscaping, hotel/motel housekeeping, construction labor, etc.
So... isn't this an argument for also not deporting illegals? Help me out here; am I supposed to be all in favor of enforcing immigration laws except in cases where it would raise the price of produce? Is this what "sticking by our principles" means?
Yes, I'm being snarky here, but this bugs me. Maybe you didn't mean it this way, but I've seen too many people turn a blind eye to illegal workers when the issue becomes the price of products. If we "solve" illegal immigration (however we do it), then it's going to cost more to do the jobs they were doing illegally. That's going to hit us in the pocketbooks. We have to be OK with that.
I think you're absolutely right, and I agree with you 100%.
So what's the difference between amnesty and deportation? Same as between paying higher prices for American goods versus higher prices for Chinese goods. Either way we'll pay more. It's just a question of whether the extra cost benefits us or someone else.
Here's a hypothetical: Suppose I agitated for a minimum-wage increase, and your friend Bob campaigned against it, but it passed anyway. If Bob and I both show up at your business to apply for a minimum-wage job opening, which one will you be inclined to hire?
And to carry that a bit further: If you know Bob donates to FR and that I donate to DU, will that influence your decision?
Prices and wages have long been skewed by the illegal-alien problem. If they are ever to return to normal, it's gonna hurt. But if it happens via deportation, some factors (increase in demand for labor, resulting increase in wages, etc.) will at least mitigate the pain.
The fact that the big push is for amnesty instead of deportation indicates somebody else will benefit from that option, cuz you and I certainly won't.
In 1986, the suggested amount was a "mere 1.3 Million" that wound up between 3 and 4 Million, not nearly the 1.3 as claimed.
As to the "reform" being "conservative" I must need either a nap or a drink as I'm unable to make any sense at all in the article.
I'd say "too much consumin' goin' on in DC (liquor or drugs)," to quote former Sen. Ernest Hollings, responsible for these types of statements.
"Once they become legal, their employers will have to increase their pay."
Nope! Those employers will start smuggling in the next wave of millions of Bangladeshis to work cheap and off the tax books.
The Hispanics will just go on welfare, food stamps, and unemployment checks, which President Hillary will extend to 520 weeks.
And when the Bengalis get uppity, there's some other place we can get illegals from for the next wave.
Prepare for half the populations of China and India.
Permanent residents can not have voting rights granted, only citizens, natural born, naturalized, or forged birth certificate can have voting rights. (Certain felons excepted.)
At least all the illegals will have a shot at government jobs, affirmative action has all but made white males a rarity in the government, I guess will have English as option two now!
You need to look up Bill Clinton's 1996 Citizenship USA program which made over a million resident status immigrants instant citizens in time for the election.
Without effective enforcement all these plans are just whistling in the win.
And effective enforcement is the thing we're not going to get.
Also, any plan without an alternative "path back to wherever you came from" isn't worth much.
I lived through the Clintoon years, and I remember this sham. But again, permanent resident aliens were not given the right to vote. Clintoon's program simply speeded up those who were already in the process of seeking citizenship.
How can you take anyone seriously who talks about 11 million illegal aliens? It's more like 25-30 by now. First time I heard that 11-12 million number was ten or more years ago

John Allan Cameron
Statements by Members
10:55 a.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I speak of the passing away of John Allan Cameron.
John Allan was born in Inverness, Cape Breton in 1938. He learned to play the guitar at the age of 12. After studying education at St. Francis Xavier University and after studying for the priesthood in Ottawa, he left the order of the oblate fathers in 1964 to follow his passion as a performer.
Early on, John Allan performed on CJCB-TV and later starred in his own TV series on CBC and CTV. He recorded more than 10 albums and performed at many music festivals in Canada and in the United States. He played at many military bases abroad. In 2003 he received the Order of Canada.
John Allan captivated audiences around the world with his music and storytelling. He is known as the godfather of Celtic music in Canada and has passed his legacy on to his son Stuart.
Our thoughts are with John Allan's wife Angela and his son Stuart. He will be sadly missed by all of us.
Philippe Noiret
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Paule Brunelle Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is with much sadness that we learned about the passing of the great French actor, beloved by Quebeckers: Philippe Noiret.
How can I describe him other than as a generous individual, a true gentleman, who was tender and had panache?
What truly set Philippe Noiret apart was his deep voice, so tender and unforgettable.
French cinema has lost an exceptional actor who was loved by his audience and respected by his peers. He also won the hearts of Quebeckers.
Few actors have had a career lasting 50 years or been in nearly 130 films. Alexandre le bienheureux is without a doubt one of the most famous films of his long and wonderful career and definitely made him choose film.
The range of this prolific actor went from comedy to drama. We remember Les Ripoux or Cinéma Paradiso. He worked with the best directors. He won two César awards for best actor for Le Vieux Fusil in 1976 and for La Vie et rien d'autre in 1990.
Farewell Philippe Noiret.
Child Poverty
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Dawn Black New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, 17 years ago today Ed Broadbent's motion to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000 was passed unanimously. I was honoured to stand in this House with my colleagues in support of that goal.
I stand here today in shame of the fact that child poverty in Canada is worse than it was 17 years ago. There are 1.2 million children, one out of every six in Canada, living in poverty.
We have heard many times in this House about the strong links between child poverty and poor health, slower growth and learning, and fewer options later in life. We know that income is a powerful predictor of outcomes.
I am the proud grandmother of a wonderful little girl who was born on Wednesday. I beg the government and this House to ensure that on her 17th birthday we do not have to stand again in this House to deplore the state of child poverty in our country. It is time for all of us to act now, together, and eliminate child poverty for good.
Reverend George Leslie Mackay
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Dave MacKenzie Oxford, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in this House today to honour a great Canadian, Reverend George Leslie Mackay. Canada can be rightfully proud of the accomplishments of this man that occurred 125 years ago.
Reverend Mackay was born and raised in Oxford County. He went to northern Taiwan as the first modern missionary. Reverend Mackay made Canada proud in cultivating and inspiring humanity in Taiwan.
An unconventional character, but sensitive to local needs, Reverend Mackay practised dentistry and trained local clergy. During his time in Taiwan he established over 60 chapels, several schools and a hospital, and even founded a university that was at one time known as Oxford University. Members of this House have travelled to Taiwan and they will be familiar with these institutions.
Reverend George Leslie Mackay is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Taiwan. He laid the groundwork to help foster good relations with Canada and Taiwan that are still developing in a positive manner today.
Reverend Mackay is being honoured in a Rogers OMNI 2 documentary entitled The Black-Bearded Barbarian of Taiwan which will air tomorrow at 7 p.m.
Brizio Montinaro
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sorrow that I rise to pay tribute to Brizio Montinaro who recently passed away. Brizio was truly a great Canadian.
He immigrated to Canada from Italy and quickly established a thriving business. He contributed greatly to Canada's success as a nation and was always the first to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
Brizio was an adoring husband to Vittoria, a loving father to Constantino and Joseph, and a loving grandfather to Daniela and Brianna. Brizio was an inspiration to us all. He was a man of tremendous courage who will be greatly missed by all of us who knew and loved him.
On behalf of all members of the House of Commons, I want to express my deepest condolences to the Montinaro family as we honour the exceptional life of Brizio Montinaro.
Violence against Women
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and we will pause to reflect on the far too many women and girls for whom violence is a daily reality.
Sadly, Canadians need not look further than their own communities, and in some cases their own families, for the evidence of violence against women. As a recent Statistics Canada report made clear, it crosses social, economic and racial divides.
Canada's new government is taking concrete action to address this issue. Among recent initiatives, we have introduced legislation that would put an end to the use of conditional sentencing for serious offences, including sexual offences.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo our government has been assisting tens of thousands of civilians, mostly women and girls, who have been sexually assaulted or tortured during more than 10 years of conflict.
I would ask all Canadians to renew our commitment to combat violence against women in Canada and throughout the world.
Canada Post
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Thierry St-Cyr Jeanne-Le Ber, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, November 24, at 5 p.m., Canada Post will close the Verdun post office despite opposition from nearly 1,000 people who signed petitions—petitions I tabled in this House—and despite a number of initiatives that I took with Canada Post.
I would like to pay tribute to the dedicated people who gave part of their lives to serving the people of Verdun.
I want to acknowledge the contribution of Claude Rochon in particular. He spent nearly 33 years working for Canada Post in Verdun. It was his welcoming smile behind the desk at the post office on Église street. I know, through the many testimonials I have received, that his work was greatly appreciated. I want to pay tribute to him for his dedicated work. I want to thank him on behalf of the people of Verdun.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the contribution of his colleague, Diane Ross, a woman who also gave 17 years of service to Canada Post. I want to pay tribute to her and thank her as well.
Transit Security
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Laurie Hawn Edmonton Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, in keeping with the commitment of Canada's new government to protect the safety and security of all Canadians, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities recently announced funding under the transit-secure program. This funding is part of the $1.4 billion in national security committed in budget 2006, including $254 million for transportation security.
The first round of this program invests up to $37 million in security projects in the six highest volume urban transit systems in Canada: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, the National Capital Region and Montreal. The second round provides $80 million for passenger rail and urban transit security for smaller operators in municipalities and communities.
Canada's new government is taking concrete action to address the priority security needs of the transit systems in Canada.
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, over the years Canada has generously opened its door and its heart to the Vietnamese boat people. Over the years that generosity has been repaid manyfold and these people are now a strong part of the Canadian social fabric.
Sadly, for 17 years, 151 of these people still remain stateless with no durable solution in the Philippines. They are spread around the country earning a living, many as illegal street vendors. Most of them earn less than 80 pesos a day and it costs 160 pesos to buy a cup of coffee.
The Canadian Vietnamese community has clearly expressed its willingness to sponsor and help absorb these refugees. The 23 people who arrived in May and June of this year are very well adjusted. I implore the Prime Minister to allow the remaining 151 stateless people to find a home in Canada.
The Economy
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about Canada's fiscal and economic update. Simply put, Canada is back.
Our first economic and fiscal update is a positive story. The economy is strong. Government spending is focused, our debt is lower, and taxes are going down.
To build on this prosperity, the Minister of Finance has put forward a long term economic plan entitled Advantage Canada. Advantage Canada will create the economic conditions and opportunities necessary for families and businesses to succeed.
I have spoken with Canadians across this great country. The message that they have given me is loud and clear. They want their government to remain focused and deliver responsible tax relief to make it easier for them to save for their priorities. Our government will reach higher and go further for the benefit of families, students, workers and seniors from coast to coast.
Just like on January 23, when Canadians won at the ballot box, under Advantage Canada, Canadians will continue to prosper under this Conservative government.
Citizenship and Immigration
Statements by Members
November 24th, 2006 / 11:10 a.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, I make this plea on behalf of two of my constituents in Oliver, German Melgar and Santos Molina, and their two children, Anderson and Kimberly. They are currently employed by Mrs. Linda Fortunato as farm workers, providing much needed services to the farm and the community.
They are currently appealing to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, but have been told by the Canada Border Services Agency that they will be removed from Canada on November 30. However, their children, Canadian citizens, can stay.
Should Mr. Melgar and Mrs. Molina return to El Salvador, there is fear that their lives may be in danger due to Mr. Melgar's political affiliation. His father was killed because of his political opinions.
In January of this year, their young son, Anderson, had ear surgery. Their family physician, Dr. Evans, fears that "risks for death would be significantly increased should he be unable to access his current level of care".
On behalf of this family, their friends and the community, I ask our government to show compassion and allow them to stay in Canada at least until their appeal is heard.
Freedom of Religion
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, 25 years ago today, members of the United Nations signed the UN Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief. Like the UN Declaration of Human Rights before it, this new declaration proclaimed the fundamental dignity and right to freedom of all human beings.
It is not enough to abolish intolerance from our laws. We need also to banish it from our minds and our hearts. The advancement of global society requires us to be open to the universal values and different perspectives inherent in other belief systems.
Promoting tolerance and understanding must be the guiding purpose of all governments. On this 25th anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, I know that all my colleagues in the House join me in affirming the need to listen and to learn from each other, as well as to oppose the persecution of those whose views and beliefs may not be those of their government or of the majority of their fellow citizens.
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Vivian Barbot Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Lucille Girard, an octogenarian and co-founder of the Maison des Grands-Parents de Villeray in the riding of Papineau, contradicts the notion that the young and the not so young in our society have little in common. She is the delightful founder of a project that brings together generations through their love of music. Since last May, she has been introducing the tam-tam to young people who do not always channel their energy in a positive way.
Another activity that they can join is the Chanter pour chanter group, a group of singers of all ages, accompanied by a piano, violin and guitar. According to Mrs. Girard, this is a leisure activity that brings people together, helps develop friendships and dispels the isolation of the various generations.
Thank you, Mrs. Girard, for your determination and contagious enthusiasm. You are proof that it is possible to bridge the generation gap.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Gary Merasty Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK
Mr. Speaker, it will be a year ago tomorrow that the Liberal government concluded the landmark Kelowna accord. The agreement set aside $5.1 billion for health, education, housing and infrastructure, and economic development for Canada's aboriginal people and communities.
Perhaps the Conservative government does not realize that when it attacks the Kelowna accord, it is attacking the first nations people. It is attacking the Métis people. It is attacking the Inuit people.
Let me read for members what Inuit leader Ms. Mary Simon recently said about the cancellation of the accord:
Abandonment of this promise, combined with an absence of any alternative plan, is not a mere detour. It would be a self-declared admission of defeat. A focused, federally funded attack on the social problems that beset aboriginal people is a necessity, not an ideological indulgence.
The government's cancellation of the accord is not acceptable. It is not honourable. It is not in line with Canadian values.
Repentigny Byelection
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Christian Paradis Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, we learned this week that the Bloc candidate in Repentigny refused, not once but twice, to publicly debate his ideas. If the Bloc Québécois' strength is to float ideas, the expectations of the Conservative candidate Stéphane Bourgon and the voters of Repentigny certainly were not met. Ironically, the Bloc Québécois, the party that claims to have a monopoly on representing the interests of Quebec in Ottawa, refuses to debate its ideas.
Is that because, apart from its pipe dream, the Bloc Québécois has nothing to offer voters as it can accomplish nothing in Ottawa? The Bloc Québécois is so entrenched in the opposition in Ottawa that it now shows contempt for the voters of Repentigny.
In next Monday's election, Stéphane Bourgon deserves to be voted in by the people of Repentigny because he will never step back from promoting the interests of the people of Repentigny in Ottawa, and above all, yes above all, he will be able to accomplish things for them. The people of Repentigny deserve better than to be out in the cold forever. On November 27, Repentigny deserves to be in power.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Fellowship program offers a select group of recent college graduates and graduate students the opportunity to experience life and work in our nation's capital for nine months. Fellows often find placement in congressional offices, federal agencies, or in non-profit organizations. The fellowship program also consists of weekly Friday sessions where we get the opportunity to meet with prominent leaders within the Washington, D.C., community, participate in community service projects, and engage in leadership development seminars.
We have been very fortunate to visit the Department of State on four occasions to meet with prominent leaders within this agency. The Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA) has been crucial in facilitating our inspiring and nurturing interactions with State Department officials.
Our first trip to the Department of State was to meet with Ambassador Carmen Lomellin, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States, who spoke to us very sincerely about her path to becoming a U. S. Ambassador. She mentioned that her first day at a job her supervisor asked, "What are you going to do after this?" She reminded us that life just happens and jobs line themselves up, and challenged us to become prepared with every role and every responsibility to learn, improve, and be ready for the next step. Ambassador Lomellin allowed us to envision our future professionally and visualize the possibility of a career and leadership role within the Department of State.
We returned to the Department to speak with Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Arturo Valenzuela, who led an engaging conversation about Western Hemisphere policy and careers in foreign affairs. Assistant Secretary Valenzuela is a great example of someone who has combined a career in academia and policy-making, and his deep knowledge of the region was impressive.
Our next visit to the Department was to speak with Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero. We discussed her experience rising to her current position and the areas of responsibility of the bureaus she oversees. This conversation was particularly significant to me on a personal level because it highlighted the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, which is my current placement.
The fellowship program is almost over, and it has culminated with one of the most exciting Department of State visits of all. Just a day after President Obama announced Osama bin Laden's death, the fellows and I were fortunate enough to have an encounter with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- one of the most admired women in the country. Monday morning began with introductions by Ambassador Lomellin, Ambassador-at-Large for the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons Luis CdeBaca, and WHA Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Diplomacy Fabiola Rodriguez-Ciampoli. Each stressed the importance of our engagement in foreign affairs as Latinos. Secretary Clinton congratulated us on completing our fellowships and spoke briefly about government service, leaving the fellows inspired and in complete admiration.
Overall, having the opportunity to meet these men and women who play such important diplomatic roles representing our government is more inspiring than words can describe. My experiences have been almost surreal, and have been a constant reminder of the power and responsibilities we all have within our own communities to show leadership and strength.
Our visits to the Department of State have not only allowed me to meet individuals I respect and admire, but have also allowed me to look at my fellowship class and see the tremendous amount of leadership, strength, courage, and power we have as Latino leaders who can cause a positive change within our communities.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
"...life just happens and jobs line themselves up, and challenged us to become prepared with every role and every responsibility to learn, improve, and be ready for the next step."
To the Fellows,
As a house painter I can certainly relate, because my job is making everyone else's work look good, including their screw-ups.
In which case I'm required to create an illusion of perfection.
That's when a trade becomes art and folks call you rather than you go looking for work.
(given economic recovery)
Now if after decades of experience I'd contemplate taking on an apprentice, (or a fellow in State's case) I'd immediately challenge them to never let me screw up.
And remind them that just because they may not be paid to think doesn't mean they shouldn't....(chuckle).
My advice for what it may be worth (having withstood many a dysfunctional managerial style on the road to being the one responsible for the finished product), to all you good fellows; is that ultimately down the line somewhere you're going to face getting written-up for no good reason and if you arn't you arn't learning anything about human nature...(grin).
"to err is...", so proceed with humility.
Good luck to one and all in carving your path.

text: Staff on April 18, 2012 0 Comments Earth Day is Sunday, April 22, and to help bring awareness, we're going to discuss two things you can implement in your home to help the environment. Composting Compost consists of organic matter that has been decomposed down into a rich, fertilized soil. Because of its nutrients, it serves great use in organic farming and gardening. There are several benefits to composting at home, including the reduction of wasted space at landfills and its use in your own lawn and garden. Composting, the process of creating compost, requires four things to effectively decompose the organic matter: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and water. An easy way to keep your compost healthy is to provide a 50/50 mix of dry, brown material and wet, green material. The process will require you to mix the pile often to provide oxygen. You should also make sure it gets enough moisture, otherwise the decomposition process will take longer. There are several options to get started with composting at home. You could get a large wooden like the one pictured (Exaco ECO Composter), a taller, black bin like this GeoBin which is easy to setup and affordable, or a solar heated cone system that comes with a kitchen caddy as well. Explore these and other composters on our site. What Can I Compost? Here are some examples of thing you can compost. Remember to try and feed your compost with a good 50/50 mix of dry, brown and wet, green materials. Really, almost everything that was living at some point can be composted, but some things may take longer to decompose. Dry/Brown (Carbon-rich material) – Fall leaves – Small twigs and branches – Paper coffee filters – Shredded paper (newspaper, office paper, etc.) – Paper towels – Wood chips Wet/Green (Nitrogen-rich material) – Fruit and vegetable peels (or whole ones that have gone bad) – Coffee grounds – Tea bags – Egg shells – Plant trimmings and fresh leaves – Cooked plain rice or pasta Depending on the size of your compost, you could have rich soil ready to go in 3-4 months, or 5-6 months for larger piles. Rain Water Collection Another way to help the environment and save you money is to implement a rain water collection system (also called rain harvesting). The concept is that you collect excess rainwater from your home gutters during times of heavy rainfall and store it for use in your lawn and garden, especially through times of drought and water restrictions. Environmentally, you help lessen the amount of flooding that occurs on streets and lessen the amount of pollution that reaches our oceans through rainwater run-off. The run-off carries pesticides, oil and harmful, inorganic materials. Another added benefit is the use of rain water in your garden, where you're feeding your plants soft water that doesn't contain added minerals. Your plants will be happier! The most common solution is a barrel that sits below your drainage gutters of your home. The barrel comes with a faucet where you can easily hook up your hose. They come in different colors and sizes to blend into its environment. For extra storage, you have the ability to connect multiple barrels together as well. Browse our selection of rain barrels on our site. For more ways to go green this year for Earth Day, check out our Pinterest board, Living Green!
