Human Rights Commission
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I have the honour to lay upon the table a special report from the Canadian Human Rights Commission entitled, "Human Rights Accountability and National Security Practises".
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(e), this document is deemed permanently referred to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
Citizenship and Immigration
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration entitled, "Supplementary Estimates (B) 2011-2012".
Human Resources, Skills, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Ed Komarnicki Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities in relation to supplementary estimates (b) 2011-2012.
Canada Labour Code
Routine Proceedings
November 28th, 2011 / 3:05 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-361, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (minimum age of employment).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill which complements the incredible work of young members in the trade union movement who are raising awareness about Canada's inadequate minimum age laws and to advocate for Canada to ratify International Labour Organisation convention 138.
My bill would bring federal labour legislation into compliance with ILO convention 138 by ensuring that the age of employment shall not be less than the age of completion of compulsory schooling, which in Canada is age 16.
This threshold is set to protect the health and well-being of young people, and to ensure that they have the proper means to develop as individuals and citizens through sufficient education.
Just to be clear, my bill is not targeted at teens who work at Timmies after school. I fully appreciate that many students need part-time work to save for post-secondary education, help their families survive in these difficult economic times or to gain valuable working experience.
My bill would make an explicit exception for the light work of persons between 13 and 15 years of age. It states that such work may be permitted if it is not likely to be harmful to their health or development and is not such as to prejudice their attendance at school, their participation in vocational orientation or training programs.
However, there is an urgent need for Canada to act on adopting a minimum age law. We need to be clear that we do not condone child labour and we need to reverse the trend of increasing young people injured on the job. We have a duty to protect young Canadians.
It is shameful that all the existing minimum age laws under Canada's federal, provincial and territorial jurisdictions currently contravene convention 138. In some cases, as with the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, official minimum age laws have actually weakened in recent years, dropping to as low as 12 years of age.
I hope that passage of my bill will be the impetus the government needs to finally signing on to ILO convention 138. Canada should be a leader in the fight to defeat child labour globally, but instead we remain passively complicit, if not active proponents of child labour here at home. If Canadians were aware of this fact, I am sure they would wholeheartedly agree that the time to act is now.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Employment Insurance Act
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-362, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (increase of maximum number of weeks: combined weeks of benefits).
Mr. Speaker, all too often the government pays lip service to supporting women without taking any concrete steps to improve the lives of women and girls. Offering posters and platitudes simply is not good enough.
We need to take action now. That is why I am pleased to reintroduce legislation today that would make the employment insurance system fair for working mothers. One of the many barriers that prevent women from accessing EI entitlements is the anti-stacking provisions in the Employment Insurance Act. For example, these provisions prevent mothers who have secured maternity and parental benefits from accessing regular EI benefits in the event that they lose their jobs during these officially sanctioned leaves.
With layoff announcements still coming daily, new mothers often find that their workplaces are closing during their maternity leave, or they return to work but lose their jobs soon after. Shamefully, they find that they no longer qualify for the employment insurance benefits for which they have paid.
My bill would bring fairness to working mothers by eliminating the 50-week cap and changing the qualifying period so individuals could access their maternity, parental, sickness and compassionate care benefits without worrying that if they lost their jobs in the interim they would be left without EI.
Working moms deserve the support of this House. I urge all members to give unanimous consent to pass this bill now.
Finally, I want to thank the member for Nanaimo—Cowichan for seconding this bill and for her continuing support of this initiative. I know that when that bill comes before her committee, she will lead the fight for fairness for working mothers.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Conscientious Objection Act
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-363, An Act respecting conscientious objection to the use of taxes for military purposes.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present this bill respecting conscientious objection to the use of taxes for military purposes. As an aside, I thank my colleague from New Westminster—Coquitlam for seconding this bill.
According to this bill, once an individual registers with the Minister of National Revenue as a conscientious objector, he or she may then request that a portion of taxes for military purposes be credited to a special conscientious objectors' account. This money would then be used for any non-military peace-building purposes.
I would like to congratulate my former colleague, Bill Siksay, for all his hard work in this area. Details of how this can be implemented are outlined in the bill.
I would also like to thank Anna Kirkpatrick and others from Conscience Canada who worked with me to fine-tune this bill.
Let us give peace a chance.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
The Environment
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by residents from all over Ontario concerned with the proposed mega-quarry in Melancthon township in Dufferin county. This will be the largest open pit quarry in Canada at over 2,300 acres. People are concerned that the mega-quarry threatens the Grand and Nottawasaga Rivers' watersheds, including various freshwater fish species.
They call upon the Government of Canada to conduct an environmental assessment under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act on the proposed Highland Companies' mega-quarry development.
Kidney Research
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to present two petitions.
The first petition is from residents of the Peterborough area who are very concerned that kidney disease is a huge and growing problem in Canada. While real progress is being made in a variety of ways of preventing and coping with kidney disease, in particular the development of bio-artificial kidneys, they call upon Parliament to make research funding available to the Canadian Institutes for Health Research for the explicit purpose of conducting bio-artificial kidney research as an extension of the research being successfully conducted at several centres in the U.S.
Human Smuggling
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, the second petition concerns the formerly named Bill C-4, which was the bill on preventing human smugglers from abusing Canada's immigration system.
In this petition, signed by people in East Vancouver, the petitioners point out that this particular bill violates Canada's international obligations under the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
They point out that smuggling is already punishable by life imprisonment or a fine up to $1 million in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. They call on the Government of Canada to withdraw this bill.
Canadian Wheat Board
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, this is a very timely petition given the government introduced Bill C-18, which is going to kill the Canadian Wheat Board. This petition is signed by many prairie farmers calling upon the government to respect the wishes of a majority of farmers. We all know that the majority of prairie grain wheat farmers want to retain the Canadian Wheat Board.
It is with pleasure that I submit this particular petition, which is very timely, and would ask all government members to pay attention to what a majority of grain farmers are saying in the Prairies.
Affordable Housing
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present a petition which has been submitted by residents of Vancouver. It is a petition dealing with the right to housing, specifically noting that the right to proper housing is within Canada's commitments under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and pointing to solutions that have been developed.
This petition specifically references the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' proposals for a plan on housing and homelessness. It calls on the federal government not only to have a national affordable housing program but to make some very significant changes to our tax structure to allow those who are investors and builders to get a tax benefit from building more rental housing.
I am very honoured to present this petition. I know there are people at the city level who will be working very hard. We need to join with them at the federal level.
Child Pornography
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, a number of folks from Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Rossland are really concerned about child pornography and child exploitation. The petitioners state that statistics show that 39% of those who possess child sex abuse materials have images of children between the ages of three and five and 83% have images of children between the ages of 6 and 12 being sexually assaulted.
Section 163 of the Criminal Code currently allows sentencing of as little as 90 days for making criminal child sex material and 14 days for the possession of criminal sex materials. They request that Parliament speedily enact legislation to change this illegal terminology in section 163 from child pornography to child sex abuse materials, and enact strong and mandatory minimum sentences to protect children, provide justice and deter pedophilia.
Multiple Sclerosis
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present this petition regarding chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency or CCSVI.
Over 15,000 procedures have now been performed in over 60 countries. While the government has announced requests for proposals for phase 1 or 2 clinical trials, angioplasty is a standard of care practice in North America. The United States already has three phase 2 clinical trials being undertaken.
The petitioners are calling on the Minister of Health to consult experts actively engaged in diagnosis and treatment of CCSVI, to undertake phase 3 clinical trials on an urgent basis with a large patient participation in multiple centres across Canada, and to require follow-up care.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
Is that agreed?

Skip to comments.E.J. Dionne: Justice Scalia must resign
Posted on 06/27/2012 11:48:03 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Justice Antonin Scalia needs to resign from the Supreme Court.
Hed have a lot of things to do. Hes a fine public speaker and teacher. Hed be a heck of a columnist and blogger. But he really seems to aspire to being a politician and thats the problem.
So often, Scalia has chosen to ignore the obligation of a Supreme Court justice to be, and appear to be, impartial. Hes turned judicial restraint into an oxymoronic phrase. But what he did this week, when the court announced its decision on the Arizona immigration law, should be the end of the line.
Not content with issuing a fiery written dissent, Scalia offered a bench statement questioning President Obamas decision to allow some immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children to stay. Obamas move had nothing to do with the case in question. Scalia just wanted you to know where he stood.
After this case was argued and while it was under consideration, the secretary of homeland security announced a program exempting from immigration enforcement some 1.4 million illegal immigrants, Scalia said. The president has said that the new program is the right thing to do in light of Congresss failure to pass the administrations proposed revision of the immigration laws. Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of federal immigration law that the president declines to enforce boggles the mind.
What boggles the mind is that Scalia thought it proper to jump into this political argument. And when he went on to a broader denunciation of federal policies, he sounded just like an Arizona Senate candidate.

EJ Dionne needs to resign.
E.J. Dionne, a man on a mission to prove that brainwaves are not necessary to write for the WaPo.
Insert Italian Hand Gesture here.
The SCOTUS should have Secret Service protection.
Just one more reason why the ComPost is going down the crapper.
Send E.J. back to Canada where he can be among his own kind.
What a left wing nit-wit. I don't know who's worse....Dionne or his twin brother Paul Krugman.
All of them except Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy vote according to party lines. Clarence Thomas is principled. Anthony Kennedy is unpredictable and seems confused at time. All the others are crooks who vote according to party lines and go by whatever is in vogue in their party.
It is so much fun watching the Left begin their mental breakdown. Soon, E.J. will be curled up in a corner sucking his thumb and wimpering, "George Bush did it".
What has Scalia done that every liberal justice since Thurgood Marshall hasn't? They never seem to mind discussing their political philosophies (except during confirmation hearings, of course).
I guess he finds the "wise latina" more to his liking since she's unbiased and apolitical./s
Too bad for you he's in a lifetime berth, huh? Hahahahaha!
Scalia is partial towards the Constitution and liberty. Shame on him.
Hey, EJ, tell you what, you get enough votes together in congress to impeach the man, and then your opinion on the matter might have some weight.
Where was the outrage when Obama spoke directly down to and dissed the Supreme Court Justices in his State of the Union? Hmmmm? Did you call for Obama to resign?
Just like I thought, none and no.
More selective outrage for political purposes from a so-called "journalist," which means your article actually does belong in the ComPost pile where it was written.
'Nuff Said.
America at the Crossroads of History
Author is an idiot.
Application of current events to illustrate the problem with a decision is no more biased than using an historic illustration.
An illustration is simply an illustration.
Someone needs to inform this clown that Ruth Bader Ginsberg has done the same thing once (and sometimes twice) a year during her time on the Court.
With any luck she'll do it again tomorrow after the Obamacare decision and leave E.J. with egg all over his face.
And if the 0bamacare is upheld...
Will we not demand similar things up to and including impeachment of the court?
E.J. Dionne is an elbow.
As opposed to Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg?
Hmmm, interesting that both have an evil twin.
Took the words out of my mouth.
And if a dozen others from the Old Gray Lady's OpEd page resigned too, that would be an even bigger plus.
EJ is not the brightest bulb. In this case, the majority said the federal government is responsible for enforcing the laws. In his descent, he specified where that argument fails..showing the federal government is ignoring the laws and not enforcing.
Liberalism, controlled by mocking and shame if you stray from its tight borders, is seen as normal by a whole generation of people. Why? Because they control the mass media.
I myself grew up thinking liberal = normal until I got some sense. I thought the NEWS was the truth.
Here, Scalia is defending freedom within sovereign borders and this WaPo idiot is defending — the liberals' desire to trick more people into keeping them in power. Nothing more. That is what "immigration reform" is. They finally got through generations of family values to fool Latinos.
Is there nothing these people won't do to protect their corrupt president?
"Not content with issuing a fiery written dissent, Scalia offered a bench statement questioning President Obamas decision to allow some immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children to stay. Obamas move had nothing to do with the case in question. Scalia just wanted you to know where he stood."
Why shouldn't he question Obama's refusal to enforce immigration law particular on this case. Is it not the very essence of the case that if Arizona could fully enforce Federal immigration law that Obama's refusal to enforce federal immigration law would become irrelevant?
I can't think of anything more appropriate to bring up, as Obama's actions are indeed at the very heart of the dispute for both sides.
Bah Fung Goo!
EJ Dionne and the rest of the messedupnbc "corpse" must give themselves a swirly in a post-chili-dog exodus toilet.
I wonder what Dionne's response would be if Scalia called on him to resign?
Since Thurgood Marshall? I would at least go back as far as William O. Douglas.
EJ needs to return to singing "My Heart Will Go On" in Vegas
lounge acts.
Respectfully, you're probably a little older than I.
Dionne ought get back on his meds.
Why so that they can become even more isolated from the people just like the president?
Frankly I think SCOTUS "judges" need to live with the edicts they issue, and as far as I know they already have marshal protection.
This is the best reason for Scalia eing on the court, Just to PO Dionne.
This is the best reason for Scalia eing on the court, Just to PO Dionne.
Yeah, one can never tell how Kagan, Breyer, Ginsburg or The Wise Latina will ever vote on any issue, huh EJ?
These affirmative action Jacksons don't have an original thought, are poor excuses for the highest court in the land and are the worst appointments ever. What a disgrace they always vote in a bloc, never thinking for themselves. Same ol same ol with these losers.
Impossible to argue with what you say. Why else would it be so important who is president when it is time to replace a SC Justice.
If the decision had gone the other way and Scalia were a Dem appointee the brainless twit reporter would be calling him "courageous".
I guess even Justice Scalia doesn't have freedom of speech, eh, E.J.?
Because an assassination could easily change the balance of the court depending on who is POTUS.
It doesn't have to be POTUS level protection but at least something greater than they have now. I was unaware of marshal protection.
Where in hell did he get a crazy idea like that?............
Here's a good ASL one:
(right-click and check "Properties" for what the sign means)
LMFAO! Boy, that's a real knee slapper, E.J., you should be a ****ing comedian.
So Scalia commenting on how things are, or are not, Constitutional is considered being a politician? He was chosen for the Supremes because he's a smart man, who actually THINKS about the Constitutionality of laws. I can't see why on earth that would be a problem, but then, I don't look at life through a radical liberal lens.
The left, as represented in this case by EJ Dionne, want to preempt the inevitable decision by SCOTUS to overturn all or part of 0bamacare by personalizing its attacks on the Justices and their principled interpretations of the law. Whatever Justice Scalia says is far more interesting and correct in its interpretation of the Constitution than any noise from EJ Dionne. What a loser.
A sad commentary on life and ethics in our country.

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator.
Over the last two weeks, I've had the opportunity to visit programs supported by the United States through PEPFAR in three African countries -- Tanzania, Mali, and Nigeria.
I have visited multiple PEPFAR-supported economic empowerment groups and groups of people living with HIV. The common denominator was this: from the bottom of their hearts, people thanked the American people for our support and noted that if we stopped, they do not know what they would do.
They remember how different things were just a few years ago, when there was little hope and hospitals were overcrowded with people dying from AIDS. And they get that the U.S. has been at the forefront of this transformation.
In public discussion of PEPFAR, it is important to accurately reflect the impact the U.S. is making -- and has committed to continue to make. If people are given a misleading impression that our investments are not saving lives, they may be tempted to give up on this effort. That would be a tragedy.
The United States is committed to saving lives in the developing world. The Obama Administration believes that it is in keeping with America's values and in service of the security of our nation and our common security to take the lead in helping to save lives and relieve suffering, especially among the world's poorest people.
That is why President Obama has undertaken a comprehensive Global Health Initiative (GHI) -- investing $63 billion over six years to help partner countries improve the health of their people through an integrated approach.
There is no doubt that there is ongoing, unmet need for HIV prevention, treatment and care. That's why, as part of the GHI, we are increasing funding for PEPFAR, and doing so in a very tight fiscal environment. The President requested increases for PEPFAR in both his FY 2010 and FY 2011 budgets. In fact, the FY 2011 request is the largest request to date in a President's Budget, and the program is slated to increase in the years ahead.
But the metric for success is not dollars spent, but actual lives saved. Some critics have mistakenly alleged reduced or flat-lined funding under PEPFAR, translating that into a reduction in the number of people getting antiretroviral therapy (ART). Yet the number of people PEPFAR directly supports on ART has continued to increase dramatically each year -- in FY 2009 alone, from approximately 1.6 million to nearly 2.5 million. Without ART, very few of those people would be alive -- that's why lives saved, rather than dollars spent, is most meaningful.
What's more, PEPFAR will continue to increase the numbers treated in coming years toward our ambitious goal under the GHI of treatment for more than 4 million. That's a commitment we've made publicly.
Critics have alleged a negative impact in South Africa due to "flat-lined" PEPFAR budgets in the country. But in 2009, PEPFAR announced plans to add $120 million to our already very large budget there to support the South African Government's effort to rapidly scale up treatment. That is not a flat-line.
Treatment is indispensable, but we need to do more than simply expand access to treatment to change the course of the HIV epidemic. Ending this epidemic also requires reducing the number of those who become HIV-positive. This means access to an array of evidence-based HIV prevention interventions, as well as HIV counseling and testing, and it requires improving the health systems at every level.
The comprehensive approach we are pursuing through the GHI, which includes a focus on maternal/child health, on strengthening health systems, going after neglected tropical diseases, and -- yes -- providing more funding for ART and other HIV programs, will have a significant and swift impact on the longevity and quality of life of millions of people now suffering from preventable and treatable diseases. Also important is maintaining the gains we do make which can be done by strengthening health systems, improving nutrition, and other aspects of this approach. Lives saved, diseases prevented and even eradicated, health systems and nations strengthened -- these are the goals by which global health efforts should be measured. And we are confident that by those measures, our efforts under the GHI will prove to be a success.
A lasting solution to HIV and other global health needs must also involve participation from partner governments and other donors around meeting this shared global responsibility. A key focus of the GHI is to strengthen and leverage key multilateral organizations, global health partnerships, and private sector efforts. In addition to our bilateral programs, the U.S. is also by far the largest donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a key multilateral vehicle for countries and the private sector to contribute to the fight.
As we focus on the challenges of the future, let's not lose sight of the remarkable things that have already been accomplished. I wish that everyone reading this had the opportunity I have had to visit the people we work with in the field, to be inspired by them. If the global community can come together to support those people, in a spirit of partnership, I know we can meet the challenges ahead.
O.C. in USA writes:
When people see dramatic changes to their everyday life like medical services, clean water, education and innovation it endears them to the USA. This is what we should be doing the world over on a massive scale. Americans have the knowledge, ability and will and like to help others in need. We should be exporting this ability on a grand scale so we can live in peace and harmony with others who aren't as violence oriented. It seems like 100 years of past foreign policy has brought us a lot of enemies trying to destroy us. Showing the world our goodness through great deeds wins friendship and understanding. The "Aloha" style to foreign policy. Obama should be very familiar with that one.
Julian L. in Vermont writes:
Suppression of the availability of immunostimulation is an abomination, an atrocity, and a crime against humanity.
In 1980, Dr. Louis Shenkman showed that lithium has potent immunostimulating properties, and the ability to prevent recurrences of bacterial skin infections. In 1981, I published he first of nine review articles on the immunostimulating and antimicrobial properties of lithium and antidepressants. Evidence to date reveals that lithium has immunostimulating, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, antidepressants immunostimulating, antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasite, and fungicidal properties.
A recent study showed that antidepressants frequently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable..
A therapeutic claim is reinforced when the mechanism is known. In this case, minute molecules known as prostaglandins, when produced excessively, depress every component of immune function, and induce microbial replication. In the early nineteen seventies, my late colleague Dr. David Horrobin and others showed that antidepressants and lithium inhibit prostaglandins.
With the threats posed by resistant T.B and HIV, and the emerging resistance of the malaria parasite to artemisin, the availability of immunostimulation becomes all the more crucial. Government and private laboratories are pursuing immunostimulation in the context of infection and cancer; they are unlikely to succeed. In a review published in 1983, I proposed that to stimulate immune function, an agent must have mood elevating properties. Over the past quarter of a century, I appealed to innumerable individuals or institutions to support the advance, none of which consented. For almost thirty years innumerable vested interests have suppressed the availability of immunostimulation, with catastrophic worldwide repercussions.

quote IAN_MAccording to some statistics, San Andreas is still between the top 10'th and top 15'th most played PC game. The GTA IV series games only made it to something like the top 40'th for a few months after release.San Andreas ... is still the greatest game ever.
quote RandomeAlso, San Andreas in my mind was, and is still the greatest game ever. Which some people may agree with, which is why they went out searching. Cause it was fun.Yeah, I guess. Also, San Andreas was new back then, so it made sense that everybody would check things out for themselves and look for every myth with out questioning it.
quote 3 of the last Epsilon tweetsI recently bought a hat from the R* site, so I'd like to think I have invested. Have any of you?
- Paradigm ending may be coming soon. Invest so we can learn together.
- Prepare for unique membership opportunity! #saveable!
- In 24 hours, we will begin our spring recruitment drive for all theses! #AntiThesesNotWelcome!
quote Randomehaha right, he sneakily parachutes away then gets hit by lightning. but survives.Nah. He shouldn't get killed. That would end it. Any good story or mystery has an open end.
A better option for the end of your story would be if the cult leader would do a short speech where he justifies his actions and never admits to any scam. Then at the climactic end of his speech (as the storm in the background becomes more powerful with more lightning and stuff), lightning hits some antenna or something at the top of the building (every tall building has a lightning rod), Michael looks over his shoulder at the large lightning rod, because maybe he mistaked the last closest lightning hit for a gunshot, or something and when he looks back the cult guy is gone. He runs to the side of the building but sees nothing. Then it's revealed to the player that the cult guy escaped with a light blue parachute that has a big Epsilon logo on it.
quote Masterhahah funnyquote magsasakaThis gave me a thought - it'd be hilarious if Michael loses his wealth to Epsilon from his wife or son or whoever joining.would be funny if there was a mission where u have to protect the cult leader from an angry mob of people who felt they were scammed

I love seeing things like this Jessie. Great photo! I joined the military right after Sept 11 because I was damn sure going to help protect this beautiful land. I loved it! I have served 3 times in Iraq. My husband is active duty also and I have to say that I am so proud. Everyday I am proud. I was even more proud when I saw how patriotic people got after 9-11 and I am sad to see it isn't like it was. THe display on 9-11 by the fire dept make me tear up and and I am so proud.
I have to tell you, whenever I hear someone sing the national anthem or especially taps play, I just get tears in my eyes.
Thank you also Old guy for your service and your childrens service. I am done with my thought. Thanks again Jessie!

I have never served, but my Dad did, and Uncles... so, I'm basically an "Airforce Brat" and proud to be. (Though we are from here anyway) I get 'that rush' of tears every time I hear multiple voices raise to the National Anthem. I LOVE being at a rodeo, and seeing everyone, Young and Old, healthy and not so healthy, stand and salute. And there really isn't much better of a sight, than our flag furling in the wind, with our beautiful country behind it.
I had told my guy that I had to get a picture for my friend Old Guy. When I took that one, he said "Old Guy will be proud of you"
Thanks for your comments!

Great picture as always Jessie. I like OG and arw always show our Flag with the upmost pride and it would be nice if everyone would always have the Flags flying like afternoon 9-11-01.

I agree EE, it is always a good day to show our colors.

I have to agree with Old guy except to say the background makes the picture more exceptional. Thank you Jessie.

Amazingly delicious
Posted by Reviewer1990856 on Oct 14, 2011
This was so good. Just the right combination of sweetness, cinnamon and chrunch. Will absolutely buy these again. Only thing I could possibly state as negative, is that these are hard to stop eating. ;)
The best snack bar anywhere
Posted by Reviewer2523303 on Apr 11, 2012
This is the real thing - just raw seeds, nuts and dried fruit, but in a combination that taste like granola. So delicious and so good for you. I met the creators at the Farmer's Market in Boulder and you could not meet two more gracious people. Great company, superior product and iHerb's price is the best!

Sorry, I didn't think you tried that one and it's available to almost anybody for as low as $2.50 when on sale at local supermarkets, much easier and cheaper than paying $19 for shipping and still not having the right thing or correct taste! Maybe you could have compared it and said if similar or not, then others can try it much, much cheaper than Nasonville.Is it confirmed that Nasonville is the cheese available in NJ boardwalk area and to Mack's?
Went to Mack's this weekend and yes, the young lady Mrs. T was not there. Also I noticed a change (maybe) in the pizza. The cheese seemed completely different and the crust was puffed up nice and high... definitely not the same as before! They usually close on Columbus day so I am going to give it another try before then, but when I had asked for a closing date I was told that they may be staying open past then so I am wondering if it is under new ownership and things are changing or if I just caught them on an "off" day?! I'll let everyone know what happens next so stay tuned.tom
The way the dough had risen it seemes more like a sam's pie rather than mack's. As for the cheese, it was missing the "bite" that has always been there as well as the grease. I thought maybe it was just me but my wife had said the same thing, that it just didn't seem like the mack's we are used to. Time of day was around 330p so they were operational for some time and they had the dough in the carriers on the counter as usual as well as the cheese. One thing I noticed about the cheese was it was in a larger pale rather than the dough box so I could not really get a good look at the cheese. I'll let you know after my next visit if the change seems to be "in place" or if it was just an off day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!tom

Verbal Stipulation
"Where does this leave me?" asked Chaim.
"Since there is a dispute in the case of meisa machamas melacha, it is not possible to legally obligate the renter," said Rabbi Dayan. "You should seek a compromise leaning in favor of the owner, as the Nesivos and Aruch Hashulchan rule that way."Rabbi Meir Orlian

Nvidia Corp. on Monday announced its new software that will make the company's graphics cards compatible with third-party active-shutter stereoscopic 3D glasses. The 3DTV Play software will be sold separately and will "convert" hundreds of video games and other software into stereo 3D mode.
Nvidia 3DTV Play software will be available this spring for $39.99 when acquired separately or for free when bundled with Nvidia 3D Vision kits that include wireless active-shutter stereo 3D glasses and 3D Vision USB controller/IR emitter that cost $199. The 3DTV Play software provides full support for all HDMI 1.4-compatible 3D TVs that support 1080p24, 720p60, 720p50 3D formats.
Nvidia promises that its software and graphics drivers automatically convert more than 400 games to stereoscopic 3D in real time, without the need for special patches.
"Nvidia is all about raising the bar of PC gaming, and gamers are going to love playing in 3D on one of the new Panasonic Viera 50" full HD 3D TVs. This is truly one of those 'must experience to believe it' moments, and we are ecstatic that consumers will have the chance to try it for themselves on any of our 15 stops across the U.S.," said Phil Eisler, general manager of 3D Vision technology at Nvidia.
While it is a positive news that Nvidia GeForce-based personal computers will be able to output stereo 3D even in cases of third-party 3D glasses, it remains to be seen whether Nvidia's attempt to sell software instead of hardware will be a success. Traditionally, Nvidia tries to certify certain components and get payments for its efforts from hardware vendors. This time the company decided to charge the end-users for its stereo 3D software, something that historically has not proved to be a good move for a hardware company.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (451 votes).
In short: organised, marshalled, drink, feed, memento, all very high standardIn full: A very tough course but in beautiful surroundings, expect to put 5 to 10 mins on your usual time for this distance if you are only used to flat courses. Feed stations were well maned with what seemed to be briefed marshals that knew how to hand out water to the competitors, they were also very encouraging. Forget about a PB and go for the run of your life and you will not be disappointed!!Date of review: July 19, 2011
In short: My knees weren't up to it this year but I'll be back next time.Date of review: July 19, 2011

In short: Beautiful setting, well organised, unusual distance, so likely to be a PB!In full: My 3rd running of this race and the weather has been fantastic on all three occasions, making the scenery all the better. Fairly flat until mile 9/10 then it gets interesting. The last climb up from the water to the start/finish is a bit brutal after 15 miles, but the brass band and cakes make it all worth while. Good medal too. Missed my pb by 2 mins this year, so I will be back.Date of review: July 18, 2011

Lawmakers using creative means to maintain harbors
With Great Lakes water levels continuing to falter over the past few years, access to harbors and other waterways for homeowners, recreation and commerce has become an increasingly important issue.
Lake Superior water levels are down and lakes Michigan and Huron were recently found to be at their historically lowest levels.
State and federal officials, including Gov. Rick Snyder, are working on ways to make short-term and long-term funding for dredging projects available.
Snyder -who plans to expedite permits for dredging projects- has proposed a 2013 budget supplement of $21 million for an emergency dredging plan for Michigan Great Lakes harbors, which includes $6.7 million for a dozen dredging projects in the Upper Peninsula ranging from harbors at Big Bay, Munising and Grand Marais to Escanaba, Manistique and Menominee.
Snyder recommended $9.4 million in his budget for ongoing dredging work in 2014.
In the state Legislature, lawmakers are creatively looking for funding sources. A new bipartisan bicameral Legislative Waterways Caucus was formed to address several important issues ranging from invasive species and dredging to low lake levels, tourism and recreation.
State Sen. Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, has proposed a change to the state Constitution, which would allow money from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund to be used for dredging and natural resources related projects including trails and parks improvements. That measure would require voter approval and will likely be controversial.
State Rep. Bob Genetski, R-Saugatuck, recently introduced a bill in the House that would change granting legislation to allow trust fund money to be used for dredging of Great Lakes harbors. Other state Republican lawmakers have proposed obtaining $30 million from the state's "Rainy Day Fund" (Budget Stabilization Fund) for emergency dredging this year.
On the federal level, U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Detroit, recently said he planned to reintroduce legislation to improve maintenance of the nation's harbors, including those in the Great Lakes. Levin introduced the Harbor Maintenance Act in the last Congress. The bill would ensure that money from the more than $7 billion surplus in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund is spent as intended on maintaining the nation's harbors.
We applaud lawmakers for trying to find ways to find solutions the problem.
Dredging of harbors is very important to Michigan's economy. Michigan has nearly 1 million registered boats, leading to $4 billion in economic activity and 34,000 jobs. In the Great Lakes region, those numbers swell to $34 billion and 244,000 jobs.
With the effects of global warming, dredging of Great Lakes harbors will likely continue to be a problematic issue into the future. We think it's a good idea lawmakers are getting on the stick now -although likely not soon enough for some long-suffering shoreline property or business owners- to improve the situation going forward.
We need Great Lakes tourism, recreation, access and commerce -and to have those, we need the dredging, and the money to finance those important projects this year and in the years to come. We need a regular dredging cycle and reliable funding to make it possible.
We're pleased state officials have recognized the concerns and have focused on this issue as a priority, a problem the aim to get solved.
