Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: The craziest thing I have ever done was risk my life by driving a jeep up a large mountain in Russia. Last summer, my sister and I traveled to Southern Russia to tour the area. During our trip we were informed there were shops and beautiful views near the top of one of the mountains. Excited, we obtained a jeep and proceeded to start driving it up this mountain, which had a narrow one lane dirt road. The road was rocky, windy, steep, and had no guard rails. The jeep had a manual shift and each time I shifted gears it would slow down and start rolling backward. Even if we thought it was not a good idea to continue forward, we could not turn around on the one lane dirt road, and had no choice but to keep driving higher and higher. I tried not to look out the side window because we were thousands and thousands of feet high. We started to have trouble breathing and our ears were popping as we got closer to the top of the mountain. When we reached our destination, we quickly reviewed the shops, took some photos, jumped back in the jeep, and inched our way back down the frightening road. Thankfully I did not sneeze or lose concentration because any loss of concentration or sudden movements would for sure have caused our jeep to veer of the road and roll down the mountain. We both had tears of joy and relief when we safely reached the bottom. We have beautiful photos of the scenery from the top of the mountain, but will never do that again.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: I am sure that no other contestant can say that they have moved to the United States at age 15 and learned to speak English fluently in four years.
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: In preparation for the pageant I have been following a very strict eating plan. It requires me to eat eight meals daily and all the food has to be homemade. So in the last two months, I have mastered the exceptional technique of baking plain chicken, boiling plain brown rice, and of course my specialty-plain steamed broccoli. I can write a cook book!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: My career goal is to own my own business in the health and beauty industry. If I was handed 10 million dollars I would continue to work to obtain my Bachelor and Masters degree at the University of Alaska Anchorage. I would spend most of the money building and managing my own medical spa. Making people feel beautiful and building their self confidence in a safe and professional manner would be the first and most important goal of my company.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: One celebrity who I have always wanted to meet is Palestinian-American businessman and innovator Farouk Shami. He has been my inspiration since I have started my career in the beauty industry. Farouk first started as a hairdresser and now owns and operates his own multibillion dollar business Farouk Systems, INC.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (330 votes).
In short: feel good very busy charity raceIn full: I agree that having pens for those that want to 'race' is a good idea - with this number of people something else is needed. That said its a charity race and there will always be walkers and joggers that participate. I am pregnant so it was a jog for me this year. I did try and look behind before stopping for a crafty walk or two. I wouldn't have missed it - there is something inspiring about so many people running together. i'll hopefully be back next year.Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Really enjoyable race because its supporting such a special cause. Friendly atmosphere but very busy. Not the race to run a pb.Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Great atmosphere, support and great cause.In full: I really enjoyed this race; was not able to stretch my legs really as the race was really crowded (mixed abilities)but that was over-ridden by the value of the run being a great tribute to Jane. Will definitely want to do this again. Perhaps a walkers/joggers lane????Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Very busy - but bearable for such a good cause!In full: The beginning, as mentioned already, could have done with being slightly better organised so that those who wanted to walk could do so without getting ankles trodden on (and so they should be allowed to), but those who wanted to jog could do so without having to dodge so much.The KM markers were there, but high up on flags, and seeing as there was a breeze the flags were blowing into the posts, so couldn't see them clearly even if you did look up! Gatorade served in cups at 6km - spilled all over floor making it very slippy - witnessed a few falls!My biggest request would be that despite it being a charity event, people need to be more honest and realistic about their expected abilities when registering re timing, and should look behind them before changing direction, starting and stopping!! I would rate it on a par with Abbey Dash - that road's a long drag out when everyone else is on the way back at speed!All the best to the Tomlinson family and future fundraising though - an amazing cause!Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Far too expensive to have no timings and a naf goody bag In full: £26 is a rip off really compare to other local races. I would at least expect the clock to be working and the times to be on the internet quickly. (still not there now 8 hours after i finished!)Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: The atmosphere makes up for the lack of scenery.In full: I's a lovely race for the atmosphere. The things that puzzle me are why the Gatorade is in cups at the halfway point and why the drinks, chocs and t-shirts aren't in the bags already when you pick them up. Apart from that small gripe everything else for me went like clockwork. Good support and the band is a nice touch.Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Wonderful to be part of the event but could have been so much betterIn full: I hate to moan too as it was great to see so many first runners doing something they may never do again but it was dangerous at the start. I saw people falling over crubs and each other. People suddenly stopping to walk without looking behind them and everyone weaving in and out of each other to get a clear run. Shame when we were penned at the start that they couldn't have put the green runners at the front. Everyone had a CHIP so would get their offical time. I would hate to organise a race but feedback is meant to help for next year, however one of my running friends fedback the hassels of the start last year and sadly it wasn't changed.What happened to signs for water station and KM's. I saw one sign for a water station after I'd gone through it.The crowds were great, the marshalls friendly and moved the barrier at the town hall when they realised the road was too narrow for the quantity of runners coming through.I felt for the wheel chair riders too. Could the marshalls help them out at the top of hills to get people to make a clear path so they go down the hill safely at spead. People were great at moving when I shouted this request out for one rider on 2 hills.Otherwise a good run in a great cityDate of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Good race just too narrow roads to get a PB.Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Great day but could be better organisedIn full: I felt I could have run faster because I kept getting stuck behind walkers! was a bit congested on Meanwood Road where the runners are on both sides of the road(single carriageway!) Could possibly change route slightly for future races. Why not go out to Leeds United Football ground instead? Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it for a first timer in this event. Date of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Great charity run with runners of all abilitiesIn full: This was a decent race with people of all abilities. Because of the cause people will tur up year after year. However, this has the potential to be a fantastic race, but there are niggly things that are only small that could be done soooo much better which would really complete the race.There should be pens at the start, runners didnt know where they should be and this probably multiplied the problems of walkers etc at the start.The crowd - great numbers turned up, but for a "fantastic atmosphere" race most were just stood at the side, no applause etc. COME ON PEOPLE, show some support to the runners. I know groups were fantastic giving support (Special mention to Macmillan supporter people, as they were great)Not a bad run in summary, but as others have pointed out. If the minor things could be sorted out then it would make the day even better. This is not intended as a dig at the organisers as they do put on a decent event and its a great thing they are doing.Date of review: June 21, 2009

Canada-Jordan Free Trade Act
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Jean-Yves Laforest Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, I will refer to the answer that I gave earlier. From what I understand, it was a matter of technological support—in Jordan, or perhaps other Middle Eastern countries—by Quebec and Canadian experts. They would help these countries find water. It was not a matter of exporting water from Canada or Quebec. That was never what I was referring to earlier. I said that we had people who had been working on this for a long time. There is research being done at universities. The expertise is there, and we could help other countries find water and conserve it over a longer period. But I never talked about exporting water.
Canada-Jordan Free Trade Act
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Bryon Wilfert Richmond Hill, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to participate in this debate on Bill C-8. Let me first of all indicate that all countries are governed by their national interest, and certainly in Canada's interest, trade is absolutely paramount given the fact that 80% of our economy really needs access to foreign markets. Therefore, we are certainly concerned on this side of the House that for the first time in over 30 years we are now facing trade deficits, which obviously is something that needs to be addressed very quickly. Obviously this agreement is only one in a series of what we hope will be agreements, particularly on a multilateral basis, to push access not just for Canadian products, but obviously that helps business, cultural aspects and political aspects in terms of dealing with other countries.
There is no question that this agreement gives us an opportunity to begin further inroads. Since 1997, we had the free trade agreement with Israel, but we really need to look at not just Jordan but the greater Arab free trade agreement that Jordan is a member of. Over 18 countries are members of that. It would give us hopefully, down the road, access from the United Arab Emirates all the way to Algeria. It would give us the opportunity to really expand in areas on environmental protection. It would deal with areas of communication, areas dealing with forest products, et cetera.
The difficulty, of course, is that this is just one aspect. I had the privilege in July 1997, when I was parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment, to meet with the minister and with King Abdullah II of Jordan to talk about environmental protection issues in particular. The king was very clear that he wanted to see more opportunities with Canada, and obviously the development of this agreement would give us opportunities to discuss and promote both environmental protection, labour protection and other issues with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
We on this side of the House support sending the bill to committee. I assume it will address a number of the issues that some other colleagues have raised in the House today. In terms of access to trade, trade is really our lifeblood and we need to not only be only aggressive looking at what our neighbours are doing, for example, the United States which has an agreement with Jordan, but it is also very aggressive in Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. We do not have one agreement in Asia-Pacific. We have exploratory discussions right now with India, but the reality is that while the Americans have been moving forward with even a discussion on an Asia-Pacific agreement, we still sit back and have not been aggressive. We are in the ninth round with Singapore. We are still dealing with the Korean situation, particularly the issue of automotive access. But in terms of where the real action is, it is dealing with multilateral agreements, and this is where the United States and the EU, which also has an agreement with Jordan in this case, are taking a very proactive role.
Although this is one step and we certainly welcome that, there are the larger issues that we need to deal with, particularly looking at the whole issue of an agreement with the Arab free trade zone. That would certainly be of benefit to us.
There is no question that Canadian exports, although they were only worth $77 million in 2008, still are important in terms of forest products and in terms of some of the agri-food areas and obviously machinery. But again, that is simply one aspect. We import only about $15 million, as of 2008, but it is building those bridges. That is why, for this country in particular, given that we have over 85% of our trade with the United States and given the economic downturn being faced around the world, the impact it has on the Canadian economy is significant. If we put all our eggs in one basket, there is difficulty, obviously, when doors close. So we need to have these other areas.
Canadian business has demonstrated very clearly that it can compete with the best in the world given the opportunities out there. This is obviously something that we on this side of the House will continue to push.
The elimination of all of the Jordanian non-agricultural tariffs, which currently average around 10%, is small, but again an example of the need to promote Canadian agricultural products, which we know are the best in the world.
The need to promote and reduce tariff barriers in general means that this country will become much more competitive internationally. It will give us, again, a bridge in the Middle East. Jordan and Israel have a peace agreement since 1994, so there is obviously trade going on. We can continue to promote many of these aspects, which I think are important.
Colleagues have mentioned environmental technology. One of the things about climate change, of course, is that Jordan is dealing with significant climate change issues, as are other countries, particularly in terms of desertification. Again, Canadian technology and expertise can be very helpful in terms of dealing with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. It is an opportunity to promote and expand our environmental goods in that part of the world. I think it is important. Hopefully, it will be a bridge later on for other countries in the Middle East.
There is no question that, at this point, Canada is going to be able to take a leadership role, but we need to be able to evaluate some of the issues that have been raised. In terms of textiles, et cetera, there does not seem to be any concern raised in that area. Obviously, some members have asked about the nature of the labour agreement. It is similar to the one that the United States signed with Jordan. Again, we can certainly look into that at committee. If we look at where Jordan has come from, particularly since 2002, coming out of the IMF agreement it had in terms of its progress on banking, monetary reform, and in many sectors, Jordan certainly is a very good partner for Canada in this region.
When we are examining those kinds of issues, we again want to be able to say to Jordan and to the rest of the world that Canada is open for business. It is obviously going to be a two-way opportunity both for the Jordanians and for Canadians, but also we will be clear that this is simply one aspect and that Canada continues to diversify. As the lifeblood in dealing with that trade deficit for the first time in over 30 years, we have to diversify. We also have to get our businesses to line up to compete in that area.
Going back to the Asia-Pacific for a moment, the fact is that the Japanese concluded a free trade agreement with the Philippines, as well as with Mexico, a NAFTA partner. It is important because the Japanese were able to deal with agricultural issues, which traditionally they have always been very protectionist on. Yet they were able to get agreements with two countries that have large agricultural aspects.
The fact is that we are still toiling away with Korea and Singapore. We need to look at what others are doing. Of course, the Americans have clearly demonstrated that they see the future there. An ASEAN agreement, with the 10 countries in ASEAN, will mean that a market of over 590 million people will open up with Australia, with the United States. We have to be there.
Therefore, though we support the idea of a bilateral agreement in this case, the much larger picture is the trading blocs that are emerging, the ASEAN, the EU, and dealing with the Asia-Pacific. All those are really critical.
If one looks at an example such as Vietnam, Vietnam is a market that now has a very strong foreign investment provision. It is welcoming Canadian companies that are there, such as Manulife. Again, we are missing the boat when we are not developing these kinds of strong free trade agreements. Because Vietnam is part of the ASEAN group, we need to have that.
I know time is ticking down until after question period, but I want to point out that again these kinds of agreements will benefit Canadian manufacturers and Canadian labour. It will benefit many opportunities where we can in fact expand. I hope to add a little to that after question period.

The Speaker Peter Milliken
The hon. member will have about ten and a half minutes in the time allotted for his remarks when debate is resumed.
Red Deer Chamber of Commerce
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Earl Dreeshen Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce. Being 113 years young and 930 members strong, the Red Deer Chamber excels at keeping Red Deer businesses competitive and profitable.
Committee volunteers tackle emerging business issues and make recommendations to government. The agriculture and environment committee has addressed market problems in the entire pork supply chain, effectively advocating for all producers across Canada.
Staff are currently putting together what will be another hugely successful Agri-Trade in November, the largest agricultural trade show on the Prairies.
The chamber is teamed up with the city and county in RDRED, the Red Deer Regional Economic Development partnership, which continues to attract investment to the region.
Congratulations to the newly elected board of directors. I look forward to the counsel of their skilled directors, the remarkable staff and their fearless leader, Tim Creedon. The Red Deer Chamber of Commerce continues to be a pillar of sustainable economic development in the region.
Pioneer Park Stormwater Management Project
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bryon Wilfert Richmond Hill, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to recognize the leadership that the Town of Richmond Hill has displayed in the areas of water management and sustainable infrastructure renewal.
For several years our town had witnessed the decay of the Pioneer Park flood control site, which had lost its ability to safeguard the communities it was built to protect in 1985 and which no longer reflected modern standards of stormwater control.
However, thanks to upgrades carried out under a recent rehabilitation project, the new Pioneer Park stormwater management system is not only capable of protecting the nearby hospital, roadways and communities, but will also help the town control water quality and soil erosion and will help stabilize and rehabilitate the East Don River waterway.
For the town's exemplary work on this project, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Insurance Bureau of Canada have made Richmond Hill an inaugural recipient of a national Watershed Award. This award recognizes municipal governments that have demonstrated leadership in their efforts to adapt to climate change by reducing their vulnerability to flooding and water damage.
I would like to congratulate the Town of Richmond Hill on its leadership.
Caseus Selection Awards
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, two companies in my riding distinguished themselves in the 12th annual competition for the Sélection Caseus awards, which recognize Quebec's best fancy cheeses. The Fromagerie du Presbytère in Sainte-Élisabeth-de-Warwick was awarded the gold Caseus for the second time in as many years, this time for its Louis d'Or, an organic raw milk cheese. The Cendré de Lune and Cantonnier made by the Fromagerie 1860 DuVillage in Warwick also won awards in their categories.
Cheese makers from across Quebec outdid themselves. The silver Caseus was awarded to the Laiterie Charlevoix in Baie-Saint-Paul for its Hercule de Charlevoix cheese. The bronze went to the Fromagerie Au gré des champs in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu for Le Monnoir. The judging panel also gave special honours to the Fromagerie Blackburn in Jonquière, in the category of new business established for five years or less, for its Mont-Jacob cheese.
Quebec's cheeses are second to none in the world. The people who produce them do so with no shortage of passion and expertise.
On behalf of my colleagues in the Bloc Québécois, I extend to them our sincere congratulations and encourage everyone to try their excellent products.
Hornepayne's Town Centre Complex
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
Mr. Speaker, when the Liberal government sold CN, it refused to protect its investment in and responsibility to Hornepayne's town centre complex. As the centre prepares to close its doors for good on September 30, the ominous predictions of New Democrats have proven accurate.
Tenants of the complex, such as the high school, post office and public library, have been struggling to relocate, and the people of Hornepayne will soon be without a gym, swimming pool and their only hotel.
The Conservative government has been less than helpful in the fight to preserve the town centre. It would only offer money for marketing at the eleventh hour. It offered nothing from the stimulus spending that built rinks, gazebos and toilets in wealthy communities, but passed over Hornepayne in its hour of need.
The loss of the Hornepayne centre can be attributed in large part to the Government of Ontario. The half million dollars the provincial government gave the town to sever the apartments and close the centre could have been used to hold on to one of the investors. The province has certainly turned its back on this community.
Residents of Hornepayne will never give up on their community and will work to recover what they have lost. They will never forget how the federal and provincial governments shrugged their shoulders and walked away when they needed them the most.
Canadian Student Leadership Conference
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, the 2010 Canadian Student Leadership Conference was held from September 21 to 25. More than 850 young people from across Canada took part in this conference in my riding of Pierrefonds—Dollard. This event was orchestrated by volunteers from the Lester B. Pearson school board and the Pierrefonds Comprehensive High School who did exceptional work.
The Canadian Student Leadership Conference encourages young people to develop their leadership skills through academic, extracurricular and cultural activities as well as sports.
We can all be proud of these young people and grateful for their involvement, which will help them to become responsible citizens who are able to positively influence their surroundings.
Our entire country benefits from the work done by the Canadian Student Leadership Conference and I believe that those responsible for the conference and all the young people who attend fully deserve the tributes I want to offer them today in this House.
Jean-Édouard Landry
Statements By Members
September 27th, 2010 / 2:05 p.m.
Royal Galipeau Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, for 400 years, trees have been vital to the economic success and social fabric of this country, and they continue to be.
However, they are more than that. They help us to correct the environmental damage that each of us causes on this planet. In a lifetime, each of us produces enough carbon dioxide to feed 15 trees. The best way to even things out is to plant at least 15 trees. Our young Canadian scouts do it. We should all do it.
So, each year to celebrate National Tree Day, I plant a tree in honour of a champion in our community.
On Friday, October 1, at 3 p.m., I will be planting a maple tree in the seniors' park in Orléans, in memory of the late Jean-Édouard Landry, a humble servant of his community whose sense of duty continues to inspire the people of Orléans.
He gave his all for those less fortunate than himself. He was a staunch champion of seniors. He and his spouse Jeannine are my friends.
I wish to pay tribute to him on behalf of the community.
Police and Peace Officers
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Maria Mourani Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, police and peace officers from Quebec and Canada gathered on Parliament Hill yesterday to pay tribute to their colleagues who have died in the line of duty.
In memory of these men and women, we should remember that of the 16 police officers who have died while on the job in the past 12 years, 14 were killed with long guns. In their memory and to prevent other tragedies, it is time we gave full effect to the firearms registry by ending the amnesty, which has lasted too long, and implementing the firearms marking regulations, which were supposed to take effect in April 2006.
On behalf of all my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I wish to pay tribute to these men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities, and I would like to say to their surviving families that we will never forget them.
Canada's Economic Action Plan
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, today the government told Quebeckers and Canadians about the progress made through Canada's economic action plan.
The plan is producing results: 98% of the funds have been committed, 22,000 projects have begun or have been completed across Canada, taxes have been reduced, and the list goes on. Thousands of new jobs have been created, which is good news for Canadian families and communities. In fact, in little more than a year, Canada has created 430,000 new jobs.
However, the global economic recovery is fragile, which is why the government is focusing on the economy. That is why we are supporting Canada's economic recovery by delivering $22 billion in stimulus funding in 2010-11 and continuing to lower taxes for families and businesses that are creating jobs.
Unlike the coalition, which would impose taxes and spending, we know that lowering taxes creates jobs and economic growth.
That is why we are opposed to the coalition's plan to get rid of 400,000 jobs and significantly increase taxes. We remain focused on Canada's economic action plan.
Newfoundland and Labrador
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, seeing images on TV of the destruction that hurricane Igor inflicted on Newfoundland and Labrador is one thing but seeing it first-hand, as I did this weekend, hits home the seriousness of the situation.
As rivers and ponds overflowed and the rush of water could not be handled by the culverts, homes flooded, cars were submerged, roads disappeared, bridges collapsed and some people lost everything. We must learn from this tragedy.
As people try to rebuild their lives and local governments replace infrastructure that failed the onslaught of the hurricane, it is crucial that all levels of government agree to put in place infrastructure that improves on what previously existed and failed.
The issue is that, under the present cost-shared agreement with the province, should a municipality want to put back a larger culvert, for example, the agreement will only cover to have that culvert replaced to its pre-disaster condition. The municipality will be responsible for the cost of the upgrade.
This needs to change. Rural communities, in particular, cannot afford this cost and cannot afford to replace failed infrastructure with more of the same.
Newfoundland and Labrador
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, Newfoundland and Labrador has been devastated by hurricane Igor: a death, roads and bridges washed away, loss of power, communities cut in half and shortages of food and gas in affected areas.
We salute the community spirit of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians where neighbours help neighbours to rebuild following a storm described by Environment Canada as the worst to hit in modern times.
Last Friday, the Prime Minister, Premier Williams and Senator Manning toured the hard-hit communities of Trouty and Britannia. The Prime Minister noted that he had never seen such damage and immediately offered the province the assistance of the Canadian military. By Friday evening, Canadian Forces dispatched three ships and several Sea King helicopters to affected areas, bringing equipment and supplies to help the hard-hit communities.
Today, the Minister of National Defence and the chief of the defence staff join Canadian Forces members working in Newfoundland and Labrador to see first-hand the hard job of rebuilding these communities.
The Government of Canada and all Canadians are standing in solidarity with our family and friends in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Peter Leibovitch
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, on September 18, the Canadian community lost a courageous fighter for social justice. Peter Leibovitch was a principled and determined man. He brought a message of hope that both collective and individual effort could change the world for the better, and his whole life was dedicated toward that end.
Whether through his efforts with the labour movement, the NDP or a long list of social justice and community groups, Peter was unrelenting in the pursuit of fairness for all. He was a mentor to countless activists across Canada and an inspiration to all those with whom he came into contact.
He never feared taking on an issue or backing away from challenges because they were unpopular. He was always ready to skilfully argue a point with anyone.
Peter loved his six children and took great pride in them and their achievements.
We express our sincerest condolences to Jacob, Joseph, Steven, Danielle, Michael and Samuel, as well as to his parents, siblings and grandchildren on their loss. We will miss him greatly.

With Spring Training in full swing, the 2012 fantasy baseball season is just around the corner. During the next week or so, fantasy baseball fiends across the United States will be flooding draft rooms to select their 2012 fantasy baseball lineups.
Due to a lack of depth at shortstop this season, the position is arguably the most important in the draft. The ideal shortstop will hit for average, steal bases, drive in runs and hit for solid power. However, there are simply not very many five tool shortstops nowadays. Thus, it would behoove you to draft a shortstop in the early rounds. (more…)

Get Lost in this Pure Michigan Corn Maze
It's the perfect time of year to get lost in a Michigan corn maze! Guest blogger, Mark Benjamin of Bestmaze Corn Maze in Williamston, MI reveals some of the maze's best kept secrets and what visitors can expect from this year's Pure Michigan-themed paths.
The Bestmaze Corn Maze has a Pure Michigan theme for 2013. Visitors can walk the Mackinac Bridge, and the coastlines of both peninsulas before exiting the maze guided appropriately by a Great Lakes lighthouse. While in the maze they can also explore the canoe camp and the Tulip Festival's windmill & tulip scene. People need not fear exploring the confusing trails and getting lost forever; as there are manned lookout towers that can assist lost walkers who need help. A quick hand signal from a tower gets them through a tough area; but soon they are in another subsection lost again. There are signed optional exits about every 15 minutes as well. The maze is designed to be one with superior maze flow that is very challenging for hard core mazers, but at the same time the optional exits and optional help from above is perfect for small children. Did you miss the Labor Day Bridge Walk…well you can walk the bridge here until Oct. 27th.
First time visitors are usually shocked at how well manicured the trails are and how dry they are even after a heavy rain. The owners of the maze hand rake and slightly dome all 3 miles of trails each year, as well as install underground drainage tiles so the experience is a pleasant one. And that is how Bestmaze got it's name. Customers said, "change the name from the original Maze-n-Market to Best Maze." After hearing that several times, the owners took the advice and word spread. The wooden billboard along I-96 near exit 122 has become an icon over the 13 years now. This year with the Mackinac Bridge & Pure Michigan theme, many visitors are heading out for the first time.
Though the maze is the star attraction, it is just one of several things to do. There is a special laser tag arena cut into part of the corn field. There is an inflatable obstacle course and an inflatable jousting contest on which to challenge your friends. There is also a Vault Laser Challenge, which is a criss crossing laser beam timed obstacle. You may have seen laser beams guarding a bank vault in the movies…now try it yourself. Oh, by the way, your friends are monitoring you on the outside tv screen as you navigate it! For excitement and a great maze, make one of your fall traditions a visit to Bestmaze. Of course, Bestmaze has cider & donuts as well! Did we mention fudge? You can't do the Mackinac Bridge Walk without fudge! Even the trolls "under the bridge" know that.
What is the best kept secret of Bestmaze? They have a separate haunted area that features the best props the haunted house industry has to offer! The Trail of Terror is a 1/3 mile long outdoor haunted trail through the rustling corn. It is a full blown sensory overload filled with a vortex tunnel, special effects, animatronics, actors, sound and even the smells of a rain forest or cotton candy at appropriate scenes. They cooperate with other great haunts in Michigan like Realm of Darkness in Pontiac and Jackson Underworld so they can trade props every year so they never produce the same show two years in a row!
Michigan has its yearly season changes, and nestled in between summer beach time, Mackinaw Island visits and winter snow is fall - the magical time where leaves turn color and you can laugh at yourself as you find your way through Bestmaze or scream yourself hoarse on the Trail of Terror...And one last chance for fudge before the snow flies.
Bestmaze operates Fri. 6-10, Sat 1-10 & Sun 1-9. Maze tickets are $8, $7 each for 4-15 people and group rates are available. The haunted trail is $15. Maze & Trail Combo is $20. Call (517) 521-2378 for more information.
To learn more about Michigan corn mazes and other fall activities, visit michigan.org/events.
Mark Benjamin is a 6th generation farmer in Williamston, Michigan. He is the maze designer and operator of Bestmaze.

Josh - I use both, and have found the Ischia to be more sour, but more lively. The Camoldoli, which I end up using most of the time, is much more laid back. Italians in general regard sourness as a defect - natural pre-ferments should leaven only. But most of us here want that slight tang, as it adds complexity to the flavor. Obviously, the French do like some sourness, as well as those from San Francisco.John
Generally speaking they like their levain pretty mild in France

Two Of JPD's Most Wanted Taken Into Custody
Two of Jamestown Police Department's Top 10 Most Wanted were taken into custody this week.
Jamestown police Capt. Robert Samuelson said Anthony R. Ford, 39, recently was found in Pittsburgh, Pa. Ford, who had previously lived in Jamestown, was a known drug dealer. He was wanted for criminal sale of a controlled substance, Jamestown police said in a news release announcing the apprehensions.
Police in Pittsburgh picked up Ford for an alleged probation violation; he was held as a fugitive from justice before waiving an extradition hearing.
Ford was brought back to Jamestown on Tuesday, Samuelson said. He was arraigned and was committed to Chautauqua County Jail.
"He was wanted here for selling drugs, and we were able to get him back here," Samuelson said.
Also taken in custody from the Top 10 list was John C. Griffin, 34, of Warren, Pa. Griffin was wanted for grand larceny after police said he used his employer's credit card to purchase gasoline for his personal vehicle.
"We were told he used the card to buy gas for himself," Samuelson said.
Griffin was located in the city of Warren by Sheriff's deputies there. He was being held in Warren County Jail, and was awaiting an extradition hearing to be brought back to Jamestown.

Is it safe to say that all of the measuring methods in the tool entail using a leveling of the measuring cup/spoon used (to the extent that the flour is above the top of the cup/spoon)? Also, would "shaking" a measuring cup once the flour is in the cup be treated the same as "tamping"?
If it was good measuring on my part, rather than luck, then that suggests that your revised tool should be even more useful than in the past.
I dip the cup in the flour and then poke it or tap it on the counter to get any air pockets out and shake it to make it level at the top.
What I meant with the reference to the flour being initially above the rim of the measuring cup is that the flour is overflowing the cup, which is a prerequisite to leveling with a flat edge.
Do any of the methods described above require that the flour in the flour container be stirred before lifting or before dipping?
Is this set of definitions now correct:
Based on the information given, I calculate the total hydration of the dough to about 63.0617%. That's based on all the flours (measured with dip and tamp), water and egg moisture.
Can you tell me how you calculated the percent hydration? When I did my calculation, I used the "Dip + Tamp" for the flour, the Bob's Red Mill data for the semolina and vital wheat gluten, and 87.575% water content for the egg white (large egg). I also used 10 ounces for the water, not the more precise value used in your tool. I came close to your number but not exact.

SMART tweets12/18/2007 11:48:00 am
We've just completed a unit of study in my grade 12 Pre-Cal 40S class. I call the kind of lesson we had today a "workshop." I prepare a series of problems as slides for the SMARTboard. The class is divided into groups of 3 or 4 students each. (Actually, this class is very big. All groups had 4 students and a couple had 5; not ideal working conditions but we do the best we can with what we've got.) They collaborate in their groups to solve each problem. Whenever they feel ready, anyone in the class spontaneously walks up to the SMARTboard and shares their solution. Other groups continue to solve the problem and analyze the work on the board for errors and "good form".
I'm really proud of how they work together and engage with the content and each other. It wasn't like this from day one but we've been working together for more than three months now. I was admiring their work today and wanted to share it. (In the back of my mind I was also thinking about how I would answer a question Ben Hazzard had thrown my way from this week's SMARTboard Lesson Podcast.) Anyway, I tweeted what they were doing as they did it. Ben Wilkoff suggested (tweeted) I share it here. Thanks Ben!
When the young lady working on the last problem hit a snag, several people spoke up to help her sort it out. Eventually, as time was running out of class, I helped them finish it off. After they solve each problem the first questions I ask are:
So, what do you all think?
Have they got that right?
How does it look?
Anyone want to change anything?
Any questions students ask are redirected to the student(s) who shared their work. They usually correct any errors with little or no prompting from me. If I do notice any errors they have missed I'll say: "There are X errors there. Can you find them?" or "This is good but it would have lost a few half marks. Can you see where?" Most of my comments focus on the wee technical details regarding how their work should be presented. I also point out the sorts of common errors that come up in tests and exams.
When I plan my lessons I try build them around these ideas:
Watch it. Do it. Teach it.
How can I make their thinking transparent to each other; and me?
They should touch the SMARTboard more often than I.
So, this is one way I use the SMARTboard in my class. It's just one piece of a larger whole in the way we use technology to support student learning. I'd love to hear what other folks do with their Interactive White Boards (IWBs).
Your thoughts?

University Hospital Münster
Muenster, Germany
Diagnostics of benign tumors of brain (program ID: 205003)
Walter Stummer
Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery
Specialized in: neurosurgery
The Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery is part of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Münster. The approaches to the treatment of brain tumors in children are usually similar to those used for tumor treatment in adults. The chief physician of the Section is Dr. med. Angela Brentrup.
Nevertheless, in some cases treatments in pediatric neurosurgery differ from similar methods used for adults. For example, in order to prevent life-threatening inflammatory processes in case of spina bifida (dysraphia), the defects must be eliminated as soon as possible (if the newborn's health condition allows to do it). The medical care of small patients (usually intensive care) is provided in a tight cooperation with the Department of Pediatrics, the Section of Neuropediatrics at the University Hospital Münster.
The severe disraphic disorders can cause brainwater (hydrocephalus). The offered treatment option is to remove cerebrospinal fluid, while an emergency involves external ventricular drainage. The long-term treatment incorporates the use of a shunt that is conducted to the right atrium or abdomen subcutaneously. The further systemic therapy of small patients after bypass surgery is provided within the outpatient counseling that is also offered by the Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery under the direction of Dr. med. Angela Brentrup at the University Hospital Münster.
Program includes:
- Initial presentation in the clinic
- clinical history taking
- physical examination
- general blood and urina analysis:
- complete blood count
- biochemical analysis of blood
- TSH-basal, fT3, fT4
- indicators of inflammation
- indicators blood coagulation
- MRT/CT of the head
- neurological examination
- neuropsychological tests (on indications):
- ENMG (electroneuromyography)
- EEG (electroencephalography)
- SEPs (somatosensory evoked potentials)
- VEPs (visually evoked potentials)
- BAEP tests (brainstem auditory evoked potential)
- nursing staff services
- services of all leading experts
- explanation of individual treatment plan

Residential rehabilitation home to open in IM
IRON MOUNTAIN – A new facility for newly-released jail inmates will open in Iron Mountain in late January.
Alpha Omega Residential Rehabilitation Home will house up to eight men due to the efforts of a large group of clergy from several denominations and many concerned residents, Catholic Social Services of the Upper Peninsula officials announced.
The home at 112 W. Brown St. in Iron Mountain is owned and operated by Catholic Social Services of the Upper Peninsula, but many faith communities and local businesses have come together to support the endeavor.
"I am so impressed by the cooperation of so many Christian pastors from different denominations in making this project a reality. This is truly a Christian project," said Deacon Dan Powers, executive director of Catholic Social Services of the Upper Peninsula.
Pastor Joel Smeby of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Felch stressed that it is very significant that this effort comes out of the faith community.
"Those who have been caught in the cycle of crime and anti-social behavior have become lost in their relationship with God, our loving father in heaven, and in their relationships with their fellow human beings," Pastor Smeby said.
"The spiritual programs that this home will offer to its residents will go a long way toward beginning the process of re-building those relationships and helping them to make better decisions in the future," Pastor Smeby said.
The house will provide a residence for men who have recently completed their jail time for up to 90 days at no cost.
During their stay, the men will be offered assistance in finding employment, housing, transportation, and substance abuse and mental health services.
Felony arsonists, felony sexual offenders, habitual violent offenders and felony offenders under psychiatric care or taking anti-psychotic drugs will not be admitted.
The residents will have to observe very strict rules at the home, including a zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs, alcohol, or weapons of any kind, officials said.
"This is a beautiful home for these men to make a new start. We will help them to turn their lives around, but if they have any slip-ups, they will be asked to leave the home," said Deacon Don Christy, founder and director of Alpha Omega.
The project has the support of Dickinson County Sheriff Scott Celello, and the Sheriff's Department will have a major role in determining who will reside at the house.
"This is not a flophouse," noted Deacon Christy. "No one will be allowed to stay until they have been recommended by the Sheriff's Office, judges and clergy, and then approved by the advisory board of Alpha Omega."
Sheriff Celello believes that the opening of the house is beneficial to the community in several ways.
"Current inmates will have an incentive to behave while in our facility, because they know they may have an opportunity to be accepted at the Alpha Omega House after their release," he said. "Once they are a resident, they will have many programs offered to them to help them grow personally and spiritually. I feel this will help reduce the number of repeat offenders."
Catholic Social Services of the Upper Peninsula purchased the house from the Salvation Army, who previously used it as a homeless shelter.
Deacon Powers said no direct government funding will be used to operate the facility.
Catholic Social Services of the Upper Peninsula is a non-profit agency whose mission is to nurture and stabilize families in the Upper Peninsula.
Services offered include adoption and foster care licensing and placement, outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment, and pornography addiction services. CSSUP also owns and operates KeenAgers Home in Wakefield, which provides adult foster care, assisted living, low-cost independent living and respite care for up to 42 residents.
The blessing and dedication of the Alpha Omega Residential Rehabilitation Home at 112 W. Brown St., Iron Mountain, by Bishop Alexander K. Sample will be held Thursday, Jan. 17, at 1 p.m.
In attendance will be members of the clergy from several denominations, Sheriff Scott Celello, other law enforcement and government officials, and Deacons Dan Powers and Don Christy.

Topic: Questionnaire App
I'm doing an app to support questionnaires. Basically I've questions, replies and users.
One problem is I have different kind of replies: boolean replies (Someone says yes or no to the question), integer replies (In question we ask about about the grade of something), text replies (Fill the name of your company or so), complex questions (1-Do you agree, 2-Relevance of this question, ...), ... but only one kind of question (text question) How could I manage it?
Other problem is how could I show questions to the user (I think it's not a good idea to manage them by id), grouped by sections (It could be seen as groups of questions). E.G.: We have questions 1,2,3,4. We want a new question 5 to be seen between 2 and 3, not after 4.
And last question is how could I see to the view I want some questions grouped in a box, other grouped in a table with a common head, an so on.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Serp, going there this Thursday...It's only 15 minutes from my house!!!
They were in the 6-8 minute range. Not being vague on purpose but I've been trying different times to see different results. This is a test period for my mobile pizza business launching in Spring/Summer.

Waters recede into Fountain
Scare leaves mark with mud, debris
by anthony a. mestas the pueblo chieftain
Published: September 14, 2013; Last modified: September 14, 2013 11:11PM
Water rushing in Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River brought on a flurry of concerns Friday with levels higher than they've been in decades.
Lisa Shorter, a spokeswoman for the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department, said the Arkansas River flooded fields east of town near Avondale, but there was no serious damage.
"We were keeping an eye on the water levels (Saturday), but the levels have gone down significantly," Shorter said.
"The risk was high Friday because these levels were not seen in decades."

Sound Box Answer Boards
By Teaching With Love and Laughter
from Florida
Best Uses
Comments about Learning Resources Sound Box Answer Boards:
These magnetic sound box answer boards have been so much fun for my kindergarten and first grade students. Driving little cars into their parking space is so much more exciting than writing! My students' ability to count phonemes in words and count syllables has really strengthened since using these boards.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for Emergent & Struggling Readers
By Becky
from NC
We were given this product to review and LOVED it! This is such a fun and hands-on tool for emergent readers or struggling readers to work on phonological awareness skills, which are foundational skills in learning to read and write! My kids {ages 3 and 4} loved to "park" the cars as we worked on syllables, phonemes, and even a little math game.

New interpretive center a top priority
Constructing a new interpretive center would be among the top priorities the Nature and Raptor Center of Pueblo would undertake if voters approve a half-cent sales tax increase in November.
"With the new money, we would do a number of projects, among them being to build a new interpretive center to replace the building that was lost by arson in 2007," said James Little, executive director of the nature center.
A new interpretive center would once again become the core of the nature center, providing office space and a location to host environmental and educational programs, nature displays and a gift shop, Little said.
If the ballot measure passes, the nature center is projected to receive about $450,000, which would more than double it's current operating budget.
The center's 2012 budget was $321,670, of which 25 percent, or $81,608, comes from joint city and county funds.
The city's contribution to the center was $42,500 while the county gave $39,108.
The center has four full-time and six part-time employees.
If 1A is approved, Little said the nature center will continue to use it's base funding for general operations and utilize the sales tax money to enhance the center with new capital projects and general grounds improvements.
High on that list is the interpretive center followed by much-needed improvements to the raptor center.
The center, which houses and cares for injured raptors, was condemned for public use in 2007.
Repairs would be made to the building and a new public space added to include restrooms, ADA accessibility and a new area for education.
General improvements to the nature center grounds also will be made along with upgrades to trails, the entrance and interpretive displays.
If the tax increase is not approved, Little said officials will have to look at other funding sources to make the needed improvements.

Topic: Failing to test Devise with Capybara
Hi All,
I'm building a Rails 3 app using Devise, with Capybara for UI testing. The following test is failing:
class AuthenticationTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
def setup
@user = User.create!(:email => 'email@example.com',
:password => 'testtest',
:password_confirmation => 'testtest')
test "sign_in" do
# this proves the user exists in the database ...
assert_equal 1, User.count
assert_equal 'email@example.com', User.first.email
# ... but we still can't log in ...
visit '/users/sign_in'
assert page.has_content?('Sign in')
fill_in :user_email, :with => 'email@example.com'
fill_in :user_password, :with => 'testtest'
# ... because this test fails
assert page.has_content?('Signed in successfully.')
... but I have no idea why. As you can see from the code, the user is being created in the database; I'm using the same approach to create the user as I did in seeds.rb.
If I run the test through the debugger, I can see the user in the database and verify that the page is loading. But still the authentication fails; I can verify this because if I change the assertion to test for the failure case, the test passes:
# verify that the authentication actually failed
assert page.has_content?('Invalid email or password.')
I'm used to Rails 2, & using Selenium for this sort of testing, so I suspect I'm doing something daft. Could someone please point me in the right direction here?

Keep it up
Hi I am from the St louis area been duck hunting: for30+ yrs. Heard about the forum while attrnding a training day withGateway retrivers
got a fox red lab he is 6 months oldwant to get into hunt trails
Bring a dish to pass and head over.
I grew up in St Louis, went to Mehlville HS.
Used to hunt ducks as a kid on the back waters of the Mississippi into the Meremac river.
Which part of town are you from?
Looks like about 25-30 dogs.Originally Posted by Byron Musick
The plan is to divide into 2 flights of 12-15 dogs, run a series, do lunch, run another series.
Hopefully a water series and a land series, we'll see what the conditions permit.
Then fire up the grill!!!!!

In the US, a flag on the ground is bad. Here it is a prayer cloth, sacred and revered.

I greatly appreciate you pointing this out. Thank you.</p

That's such a useful insight. Seems like a good reminder
That's such a useful insight. Seems like a good reminder of the importance of context -- the same/similar meaning or value can be expressed so differently in different cultures/contexts.

The image says this to me: Before God, we are all one.
The image says this to me: Before God, we are all one. And in His presence, we put down our symbols, let evaporate the differences we have created that we've allowed to divide us, restore to ourselves the dignity of being human and working and praying and hoping for the common good.
The image illustrates well the meaning behind that cry, "We are all Egyptian".

First, I want to emphasize my solidarity with all people
First, I want to emphasize my solidarity with all people that wish for justice to reign in our day and age, regardless of their backgrounds. I need to take issue with the assertion that men and women prayed side-by-side during the lifetime of Allaah's Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him). This is patently false! As is well know by scholars of Islam, men and women DID pray in the same room, however, women prayed behind the men. The only place that men and women prayed side-by-side during his lifetime would have been when they were present at the Ka'bah in Makkah. The reason for this arrangement when praying could very well have been logistical. In such cramped and uncontrolled quarters, it may simply be to difficult to organize the lines for prayer according to the standard motif. Frankly, there's been a very anti-religious tenor in some of the comments coming from the square, and that worries me. I accept that we may all not agree, but if groups of us are ACTIVELY opposed to others or their philosophies that is problematic. Especially when Islam clearly plays such a major role in society there in Egypt (as this picture attests to). I pray that Allaah guides us all to what's closest to achieving His Pleasure; and that I can one day bring my son to meet his family there in Cairo.

I think its lovely that there are women in the front row.
I think its lovely that there are women in the front row. Men and women pray together in Mecca and if its good enough for Mecca, then it should be good enough enywhere else in the world. I look at the photo and see a group of Muslims who are praying with a real presence and as a real community - all equal before God.

Easy Grilling Clean-Up Tips
Americans say an easy clean up is one of the most pleasurable parts of grilling food outdoors. In fact, in a recent survey by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) a majority (70 percent) responded that the they find "a lot" of pleasure in having few or no pots and pans to clean up when grilling as opposed to indoor cooking.
To ensure that outdoor grilling clean-up is even easier, HPBA offers the following tips:
- BEFORE lighting the grill, apply non-stick spray on the grates. The protective spray cuts down the clean-up time afterwards.
- For charcoal grills, line the bowl with aluminum foil. After grilling, and once the grill and coals are cool, simply discard the foil with the coals and ash, then wash and reline with foil for next time.
- Use a wire brush or even crumbled aluminum foil to scrub away buildup on the grates once the grill has cooled.
- Squirt grease-cutting dishwashing detergent on grill and grates (once cool). Scrub with brush or abrasive pad, then rinse. A repeat may be necessary.
- Don't forget to place a grill pad or splatter mat beneath your grill before cooking. These naturally heat resistant pads will protect your deck or patio from any grease that misses the drip pan and will make it a lot easier to keep your outdoor living area clean and looking like new.
