Posted on 02/09/2013 8:49:34 AM PST by ConradofMontferrat
The Obama administration warned on Friday that across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect in March may result in furloughing every U.S. meat and poultry inspector for two weeks, causing the meat industry to shut down.
By law, meatpackers and processors are not allowed to ship beef, pork, lamb and poultry meat without the Agriculture Department's inspection seal.
The prospect of mass furloughs of meat and food inspectors was part of a broader White House warning about the effects of the potential spending cuts on everyday life. Meatpackers said a shut-down would devastate consumers as well as their industry.

He Will do this because he can drive the middle class deeper into debt and create a "crisis" and blame the gelding pubbies all at the same time.
This, combined with gas prices creeping higher (he will go for $5 now that he's safely re-elected) will put the average guy into poverty.
the administration is threatening the food supply sort of like Stalin did
ship it anyway, screw the depart of ag acting like some war lord
Hey, Zero, sequestering was your idea!!!!
Freezer's full. Full steam ahead.
He's jealous of Argentina's food shortages.
Nobody envisioned this. This is Barack tantrums.
So! We can all become vegetarians, like Hitler.
It's already into overdrive. Apparently we won't have meat, our military will crumble, cats and dogs living together...essentially the worst stuff from the Bible.
...but I have both of my testicles.
The revolution must start now or the communists will take all of our freedoms. This communists government must be removed from power.
Many in this WH are knowledgeable about meatpacking
This what happens when a society becomes over consumed by their need to be protected from anything that could harm us. We allow the government to become a draconian monster that can destroy society if we try to reign it in from out of control spending.
Those who are willing to give up a portion of their freedoms so that it will be protected from harm will inevitably end up with neither their freedom nor thief safety from harm
Or something in that nature.
Just adopt a shelter dog and pretend you are Obama.
Remember Obama's campaign promise to punish his enemies and get revenge? He's punishing those who cling bitterly to their guns and religion and getting revenge on his opponents. If some of his supporters suffer, it's an acceptable cost. Besides, he'll never be held accountable for any outrage, especially the sheep who believe him to be divine.
But, but, what about the Chilrun and women and their EBT cards???? What WILL THEY EAT????
I may have to learn to like clams after all...
Flashback: "Obama pledges to veto effort to undo automatic spending cuts"
"Already some in Congress are trying to undo these automatic spending cuts. My message to them is simple: No," Mr. Obama said from the White House briefing room Monday evening. "I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending." November 21, 2011
"The President will urge Congress to come together and act to ensure these devastating cuts to defense and job-creating programs dont take effect." - White House statement, February 5, 2013
"the administration is threatening the food supply sort of like Stalin did"
Sew divisiveness, doubt, fear. Then only The One and his lackeys will be able to help.
The Republicans did their part. Now we're seeing Obomas part of his deal. If people don't like meat being cut, they shouldn't have voted for Oboma. It's really quite simple. If they have a complaint, talk to him about it. It's his call.
No it won't, and no HE won't. The feds don't have enough people to enforce it, let alone enough people to stop deliveries. The only one's who'll stop are the large ag-interests who are in bed with the government, and they'll end up suffering for their capitulation to the fed gov monster.
Copy that.
I'm all for his 47% to do without. The rest of common sense America will do just fine.
Food riots will make for some great TV and nice practical target practice.
If Obama furloughs the meat inspectors it is because he CHOOSES to do so. With a budget of over a trillion dollars the cuts can easily come from elsewhere.
Liberal ideas of cuts in spending are to spread the most pain to the most people, in order to get what they want—Higher taxes.
Chilrun and women and their EBT cards???? What WILL THEY EAT???? Junk food and Hot Pockets, as usual.
I guess those bitter clingers will just to have to go hunting. The Dem zombies can eat each other.
Maybe we shut you down Zero!!!
The primary impediment to the removal of the clowns and bad seed from our government is that we are not ready. No good leaders, no supplies, no organization and lastly no Will. At present people are too busy eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating their bowels, snoring and then attending the "Games!" We have quite a task to perform before we can even dream of a proper removal of the scum presently holding office. We must-inter alia- destroy egalitarianism, restore some morals, look for leaders,organize and develop a desire to remove.
Plenty of venison and bear in the freezer. If I run out, I'll just replenish from behind the house.
The usurper has meddled in the price of oyssters, corn, ammo, etc. Now, he's going after meat. Anything to bring about a crisis. Anything to destroy America.
... but it doesn't threaten tofu and arugula processors, I take it?
This is the same tactic used by municipalities to get a tax rate increase. They always threaten the very things that the voting public cares about, like police and fire departments, but not a peep about the mountain of paper shufflers and regulatory busybodies in their employ.
They are certainly doing everything they can to promote and encourage fudgepacking...
Don't mean to be nit picky, but just when did communism "die?"
The collapse of the Soviet Union did NOT kill communism. It is still alive in many, many places. Places like North Korea, China (still is communist), Cuba a smattering of African countries and a large majority of universities in this country.
Communism is a political ideology, and as such cannot "die." It will always be practiced by some group somewhere. Like in our own White House.
A glance at the CPUSA will shed some light on the vast number of people who still adhere to Marxism as a legitimate form of government.
Marxism is definitely not dead and gone, the commie pigs just want you to think so.
"Liberal ideas of cuts in spending are to spread the most pain to the most people"
Right from the old leftist playbook. But since there is so much waste, fraud and unnecessary spending, this can be easily countered - grab the microphone and ask people whether they need meat for their families, or NPR, or {fill in the blank] . . . then watch the libs squirm like the worms that they are.
The immediate thought is that supermarkets will have empty shelves where fresh beef, pork and chicken would be and that would hurt consumers and markets.
But think of all of the restaurants that advertise using only fresh not frozen meat. In-N-Out, Five Guys, Wendys, and several other fast food places advertise the same. Top end eateries rely upon daily deliveries of the freshest food to keep their reputation up.
This is a huge threat and may be the best opportunity for Republicans to show some balls and dare the President to cut off the nation's meat supplies. It might, just might, get through to a few voters what was at stake in the last election and what lies have been fed to them by the media.
My money is on those "2 week furloughs" being 8 hours a week for 14 weeks or or 8 hours a payperiod for 14 pay periods or something like that. It doesn't have to shut down anything.
Aren't these inspectors paid through "user fees" that he meat packers pay? Does anyone know how they are funded?
I think you are missing the point. The point isn't to COMPROMISE.
The point is to PUNISH. If it goes through, it will be a solid 2 weeks, and "The One" will point the finger at the pubbies and the Joey Goebbels and Baghdad Bobs of the msm will scream to high heaven about what those "wascally wepublicans" have done.
This tactic is not new.
Just harken back to the days of Slick Willie and the gov shutdown that HE orchestrated. All the press and bureauKaRATZ lined up sob stories about how those pubbies were soooo meeeaaannn.
Count on it. Its in their playbook.
How are the EBT folks gonna have their BBQs?
You would think that the geniuses (I refer to Congressional Republicans in this case, quite facetiously) who so believe that they have the answer to all our lives, that they spend millions to get elected, only to go against our wishes in "our best interests", would have a plan when something perfectly foreseeable like this situation, arises. An answer to this cipher of a president. But they never do-all the while that he's pointing the finger at them, they just stand there with their fingers in their mouths going "duuuhhhh". O course, having an enemedia doesn't help, but they don't even try to make their case. If anything, they suck up to the media, as if they're being blackmailed. Hmmmm...
Yeah, even though Hussein does it every single last time (blame the Republicans for his own failures), they act as if they never saw it coming when he does again.
They won't do it like that. They'll squeal about the "evil rich" (anyone who earns their own way and pays taxes) and how they're going to make sure that the downtrodden (parasites) get their cut. A majority of the voters now just want their "gibmes" at someone else's expense.
You know what the Regime really fears? One day, they might try to threaten us by withholding one of their wonderful Federal "services", and we won't miss it. We might find out we don't need it. The same can be said for most of the Federal government.
This is Obama's Great Leap Forward.

With child-like wonder and amazement, we all look forward to the sights, sounds, drama, and emotion that Christmas inevitably brings.
But what would it have been like to be in Bethlehem for the very first Christmas? Would you have expected the Savior, King, and deliverer promised in Scripture to arrive unheralded by men, born in a lowly stable, surrounded by animals and society's outcasts?
Why did God choose to bring the Savior into the world in such a way? Why did He pick lowly shepherds to be the witnesses of this divine beginning? And what can you learn about your own salvation from the response of those who witnessed the birth of Christ?
In The Promise of Christmas, John MacArthur answers those questions and more as he takes you back in time to first-century Israel. You'll rejoice with the angels at the wonder of God's plan of redemption fulfilled in the humble birth of God's Son.

Alexander, Samuel
Alexander, Samuel 1859-1938
Australian-born English philosopher and critic.
Alexander was among the foremost English realist philosophers of the early twentieth century. He is chiefly remembered for his Space, Time and Deity (1920), a systematic metaphysical inquiry into the nature of reality, consciousness, and God. Employing concepts of biology and psychology in addition to the methods of philosophical investigation, Alexander propounded his theory of "emergent evolution," the development of existence from primal space-time to successively higher levels, and posited the existence of God as an extension of the development of mind.
Biographical Information
Alexander was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1859. His father was a saddler who died before Alexander's birth. His mother later moved the family to St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, where in 1871 Alexander entered Wesley College. He attended the University of Melbourne for two years, and while he left Melbourne without completing a degree, he had enjoyed a distinguished academic career. Moving to England in 1877, Alexander was awarded a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford. In 1882 he became the first Jewish fellow of either Oxford or Cambridge, when he received a fellowship from Lincoln College, Oxford. Alexander maintained his position in Oxford until 1893, when he became professor of philosophy at the University of Manchester. He remained in Manchester for more than thirty years, becoming highly admired by his students and well-known within the wider cultural life of the city. From 1908 until 1911 he was president of the Aristotelian Society, a position to which he returned in 1936-37. He was elected to the British Academy in 1913. During 1917 and 1918, at the invitation of the University of Glasgow, Alexander developed a series of lectures summarizing his philosophical system. Known as the Gifford Lectures, these works provided the basis of his masterwork, Space, Time and Deity, 1920, an extensive consideration of such metaphysical questions as the nature of the space-time continuum and the existence of God. Alexander retired from academic teaching in 1924 but continued to give public lectures and in his later years devoted his attentions to matters of literary criticism and aesthetics. In 1930 he was awarded the Order of Merit. He died in 1938.
Major Works
Alexander's philosophical system is chiefly elaborated in his magnum opus, Space, Time and Deity, which represents the culmination of more than thirty years of academic research and teaching. In Alexander's view, metaphysical inquiry into the nature of reality and of such concepts as space, time, and value must utilize and reflect developments in the empirical sciences, including biology and psychology. In Space, Time and Deity Alexander maintained that neither space nor time can be comprehended without reference to the other and that all properties and values of nature arise out of the space-time continuum; in other words, out of motion.
Central to Alexander's philosophical system as outlined in Space, Time and Deity is the theory of "emergent evolution," a concept that dates from the works of the English philosopher and critic George Henry Lewes in the mid-1870s and which had been developed by Alexander's contemporary, the English zoologist and psychologist Conwy Lloyd Morgan. Rather than focusing on the sources of evolutionary development, emergent evolutionists concentrated on the process of evolution, in which the resulting advancement is greater than and is not reducible to the physical or chemical process through which it has emerged. For Alexander, as space-time reaches successively higher levels of complexity new qualities emerge. The first to emerge are the primary qualities of matter, including size and shape. Such secondary qualities as color then follow. Applying the reasoning of emergent evolution, Alexander posited the existence of God as a "level of existence" that would be realized in the development from body to mind to deity—from physical to mental to supramental. However, because the way in which God would be distinguished from mind cannot be predicted, Alexander maintained that the nature of God is unknowable.
In Space, Time and Deity Alexander also sought to elucidate questions of human perception, and his concept of "compresence" embodies his explanation of the cognitive relation of mind to objects and actions and of minds to other minds. Alexander held that an object may be before a consciousness but is not in it; consciousness of an object is not the same as consciousness of one's consciousness of the object. For example, an object such as a chair may be apprehended by a consciousness, but the chair is not located within that consciousness; and, the contemplation of the chair is distinct from thinking about the act of contemplating the chair. Further, since the contemplation of an object is itself an action, in Alexander's view it cannot be "contemplated" but only subjectively experienced, or "enjoyed."
While Space, Time and Deity represents the highest achievement of Alexander's career, he had earlier published works of philosophy and criticism analyzing the writings of G. W. Hegel and John Locke, as well as essays on evolutionary theory, ethics, and political philosophy. During the 1920s and 1930s he turned to such subjects as the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza and the realm of aesthetics. A posthumous collection, Philosophical and Literary Pieces, was published in 1939.
Critical Reception
Contemporary criticism of Alexander generally viewed his writings within the realist resurgence that flourished in American and English philosophy during the early twentieth century. Reviewers of Space, Time and Deity sought to explicate the extensive and systematic inquiry he presented and often praised particularly the comprehensiveness of his metaphysical system. However, within the decade such notable metaphysical works as M'Taggart's The Nature of Existence (1921) and Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality (1929) largely eclipsed Alexander's work, and his reputation subsided in the decades following his death. Some critics have suggested that his diminished status stems in part from the fact that he was connected with no movement or school and thus left no disciples engaged in the work of extending and refining his ideas. Yet Alexander has remained an attractive subject for numerous late-twentieth-century scholars, including Michael A. Weinstein, who summarized Alexander's appeal in 1984, writing, "The spirit of Alexander's philosophy is elegant passion, something that is of vital importance for the sustenance of civilization. The elegance should not be taken to indicate indifference to public affairs .. . or retreatism .. ., but an understanding of philosophy's special role in describing experience comprehensively and reflectively, identifying its pervasive characters, relating them to one another, and judging them according to their importance."

[In the following essay, Haldane considers Alexander's Space, Time and Diety in the context of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.]
Prof. Alexander has written a book which requires more than cursory reading. It deserves careful study. For it embodies a thoroughly modern exposition of New Realism in full detail.

George Herbert Mead was a great philosopher and certainly a humanist. Until his Philosophy of the Act has been published it will be too soon to pass judgment on his philosophy. But there are some aspects of his system which seem fairly well defined by his extant writings, and these aspects suggest the following criticisms.

According to Mr. Laird "no English writer has produced so grand a system of speculative metaphysics in so grand a manner since Hobbes in 1696 completed his metaphysical journey with the publication of De Corpore".

[In the following essay, Laird examines Alexander's views on the nature and existence of God.]
Alexander was, quite certainly, a theist in his own Alexandrian way, a way that was never insincere. Indeed his "nisus theory of deity," to judge for instance from Mr Brightman's Philosophy of Religion (1940), seems by now to have taken its place as one of the accepted types of text-book theism. It has almost achieved respectability, like an eccentric old friend whose ways have become too familiar to startle.

Those, like the present writer, for whom the late Samuel Alexander unlocked doors to new realms of wisdom and delight, or who basked in the sunshine of encouragement and kindly advice he gave so readily to younger men, will understand with what alacrity this opportunity was seized of paying a small tribute to the memory of so unusual and attractive a personality.

Alexander is a representative of that movement of thought which may be termed Anglo-American realism; in his Space, Time, and Deity, he has offered the most complete metaphysical and religious system so far given by that group.1 Much, if not most, of his work is occupied with mind—mind as in the order of realities...

In the early years of the present century, it could no longer be presumed that Realism was intellectually disreputable, a mere vulgar prejudice. What a mind knows, Brentano and Meinong had argued, exists independently of the act by which it is known; Mach, and James after him—if they were still, from a Realist point of view, tainted with subjectivism—had at least denied that what is immediately...

May it not be that the inability of philosophy to understand the great body of facts familiar to us as variety, modification, multiplicity, accident, is not due to the weakness of nature, but suggests a problem for philosophy itself. (1886)

Ear drops

I had an ear infection. This product made it slightly worse.
Temporary relief from ear pain.
Posted by Reviewer1156637 on Apr 01, 2010
My earaches have a metaphysical cause. I use these ear drops for them, and I do positive affirmations, and I get craniosacral therapy. A conventional M.D. with a specialization in ear-nose-throat could find nothing wrong. These drops help. One vial is supposed to be for one ear, but I find it contains enough liquid to do each ear twice. I can use half at night, the other half in the morning. If I forget the next morning, the rest of the contents dry from the vial during the day.
Good product

Humanitarian Award
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the tremendous honour being given to Marlene Bryenton of Charlottetown. Later this evening she will receive the Canadian Red Cross P.E.I. Region's Humanitarian Award.
Her first volunteer experience came as a teenager, helping others through the Canadian Red Cross. Since then Marlene has touched the lives of many. She has also overcome some obstacles of her own, such as breast cancer, which led to the public awareness campaign that resulted in the purchase of additional mammography machines.
She is an active force in the Lake of Shining Waters women's charitable organization and through it has spearheaded the "Baby Think It Over" and "Wigs for Women" programs, among others. She was very much the driving force behind the development of the Joe Ghiz Memorial Park, located in Charlottetown.
Marlene's tireless efforts have been recognized through such honours as the Order of Prince Edward Island, an honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree from the University of Prince Edward Island, the Senate of Canada Volunteer Award, the Canada Volunteer Award and many others.
I ask all my colleagues in the House to join me in paying tribute to the remarkable achievements of a remarkable woman.

Gordon O'Connor Carleton—Lanark, ON
Mr. Speaker, farmers in Ontario have begun a campaign called "Farmers Feed Cities". They want to increase awareness that agriculture contributes to the health and well-being of Ontarians and the province's economy by providing safe and healthy food.
Agriculture is a key component of Ontario's economy as it provides jobs for more than 650,000 people. Trade in agricultural products contributes approximately $30 billion to the province. The industry also helps to feed the 12 million plus people living in the province.
However, Ontario agriculture continues to suffer an income crisis due to international subsidies, border closures, corporate concentration, rising costs and commodity dumping.
Farmers continue to negotiate terms of new risk management and production insurance programs for Ontario, however, if the implementation of the proposed programs is to become a reality, the federal government will become a necessary partner. I encourage the federal government to work with the province to find solutions to the problems that face farmers today.
Agriculture is a fundamental component of our society which we cannot afford to lose. Remember, "If you ate today, thank a farmer".

Borys Wrzesnewskyj Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, November marks one of the greatest tragedies in human history, when 7 to 10 million members of farm families which had just brought in record harvests, were deliberately starved to death in the breadbasket of Europe by the Soviet regime in 1932-33.
The Stalinist regime perpetrated the Great Famine/Holodomor by making food illegal in Ukraine's countryside. Red Brigades, under the direction of Lazar Kaganovich, seized grain, prevented the starving population from leaving the countryside and then sent the food to the west for export. This was done to eliminate resistance to the forced collectivization of agriculture and to destroy Ukraine's national identity.
On the eve of the 70th anniversary of Holodomor, the UN declared a week of commemoration in memory of the victims of the Great Famine in Ukraine.
I join all members of the House in calling upon the Government of Canada to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-33 in Ukraine and to condemn this genocidal act of inhuman brutality by Stalin and his henchmen.
Marie-Christine Côté
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Richard Marceau Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to welcome to Parliament Hill Marie-Christine Côté the MP for a day from the riding of Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, who will be with us today and tomorrow to learn more about the workings of Parliament.
Winner of the seventh "MP for a Day" contest in the riding of Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, Marie-Christine beat out nearly 1,200 other secondary IV students in an test of general political knowledge.
During her stay in Ottawa, she will have a chance to see what MPs do and to experience firsthand the hustle and bustle of Parliament Hill. She and her father, Michel Côté, just had a private meeting with the leader of the Bloc Québécois a few minutes ago. After question period they will meet all the members of our caucus.
Mr. Speaker, you will also have the pleasure of meeting this dynamic young woman later today.
The Bloc Québécois wishes Marie-Christine and her father a pleasant stay.
Campbell Greenway Wright
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a beloved Manitoban.
Campbell Greenway Wright died on Sunday, November 6, after a lengthy illness, at the age of 45 years.
Campbell was truly a child of Manitoba. He was named for his maternal grandfather and his paternal great, great grandfather, both Liberal premiers of Manitoba in their time.
Campbell, while young, had a full life which distinguished by an unwavering commitment to others. An accomplished lawyer, his volunteer community leadership was widespread and included the Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Canadian Club of Winnipeg, Joceyln House, a community hospice, and the Westminster Housing Society.
A committed political activist, I had the pleasure of working with Campbell on numerous and various campaigns. I have not met a man of greater principle, honour, dignity and courage than Campbell Wright.
Above all, his family was paramount, and I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his wife Lynne and their young sons, Kirk and Thomas, and to the entire Wright family. He will be deeply missed.
Earth Water
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Rahim Jaffer Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, most Canadians take clean drinking water for granted, however not everyone has access to this precious resource. Every day there are 6,000 deaths resulting from a lack of clean drinking water. That is one death every 14 seconds, totalling 5 million per year.
While most people choose to ignore this problem, there is one company in my riding of Edmonton--Strathcona that is doing something about it. Earth Water sells bottled water throughout Canada and has teamed up with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to deliver clean drinking water throughout the world. Additionally, Earth Water donates 100% of its profits to the UNHCR.
I wish that more corporations had the heart and soul that Earth Water exhibits on a daily basis. This is a corporation that all Canadians can be proud of.
On behalf of my constituents of Edmonton--Strathcona and the official opposition, I want to thank Earth Water for its contribution to help people drink safe water around the world.
Diabetes Awareness Month
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Joe Comuzzi Thunder Bay—Superior North, ON
Mr. Speaker, November is Diabetes Awareness Month in Canada and I am sure I speak for every member of the House in thanking the thousands and thousands of volunteers who volunteer so much of their time to enhance the quality of life for all diabetics in Canada. I say a sincere thanks to all of them for the great work they do.
As members know, diabetes is a serious illness and it can cause, if left unattended, blindness, amputations, heart attacks and strokes. The only way we have now to control it is by following a good exercise program, a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, maintaining a good body weight and getting an early diagnosis.
My colleagues and I congratulate the Canadian Diabetes Association for all the good work they do. We urge all those Canadians suffering from diabetes to follow the rules of diet, weight and exercise, and we guarantee that we will do everything within our power to find a cure for diabetes.
Laval University
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Roger Clavet Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I have the opportunity to welcome a group of young men and women who are here to learn more on the workings of the federal parliamentary system.
These students from Quebec and France are currently taking courses toward a specialized degree in public affairs and government, a joint program of Laval University and the institute of political science in Bordeaux, France. I commend these two institutions for their deep belief in internationalizing university training.
The students from this program will have a chance today to meet MPs and public affairs professionals.
The Bloc Québécois welcomes them to Parliament Hill and wishes them much success in their future endeavours.
Detroit River Tunnel Partnership
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on the proposed Jobs tunnel and the Detroit River tunnel partnership.
Notwithstanding the short-sighted and politically motivated decision of the binational panel, this innovative and forward thinking Canadian project remains the best option to improve the flow of trucks and trains through the Windsor-Detroit corridor by improving and expanding current infrastructure.
Over 25% of all trade crosses this corridor between Canada and the United States. This figure is expected to double within the next 25 years.
The project will ensure that Canada continues to be an attractive market for trade. It will also create jobs, increase security, reduce pollution and eliminate waiting lines at the border.
I urge all levels of government to respect the integrity of the binational process that they have established and to include the jobs tunnel in its list of practical alternatives and undertake a full and impartial analysis of this project. Canadians and Windsorites deserve nothing less.
International Trade
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, I believe the time is right to look at expanding trade opportunities by moving toward a free trade agreement with India.
Canada has a large Indo-Canadian community involved in many of Canada's export sectors. In addition, India's system of government is very similar to ours. India's annual growth is estimated to be around 9% for the foreseeable future and ranks third in the world in terms of purchasing power. Its middle class is estimated to be about 300 million people and growing, the majority of which are English-speaking, making free trade negotiations strategically important.
Based on my experience as part of the Canadian trade delegations to India in 2000 and 2005, I have seen the remarkable growth of the Indian economy and the opportunities that it presents. The time is right to seize those opportunities.
When we come to power, we will give actions to words.
Pat Lyall
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness we learned that Pat Lyall of Taloyoak, Nunavut, passed away unexpectedly on October 24, 2005 at the early age of 60.
Son of Nipisha and Ernie Lyall, Pat was born March 12, 1945 to the famous Lyall family that everyone knows in Nunavut.
Pat was one of 10 Lyall brothers and sisters, all known for their commitment to keeping the Inuit culture strong and taking important leadership roles to strengthen our communities. Pat was no exception, especially in his strong defence of our language, Inuktitut.
Pat will be remembered for his compassion, dedication and love of people, evident in the marks he left in his community and the many boards on which he served. He will be missed.
I ask the House to join me in expressing condolences to his wife, Leah, and children, Ernie, Patricia and John, and the whole family. Our thoughts are with them at this sad time.
Natural Resources
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, there is nothing for northern Ontario in the Liberal's election budget, nothing for forestry, nothing for agriculture and nothing for the mining exploration community.
The government had the chance to extend the super flow through program for mining exploration, but instead, it once again walked away on northern industries.
All across Canada our mineral reserves are being depleted. Restoring those reserves is very important for our economy but it is a high risk game with long shot odds. In a global competitive market, we need every player at the table.
I have written to the finance minister and have asked him to work with the mining industry. Instead, he has done nothing. Once again, the resource communities of northern Ontario are being written off the political and economic map of Canada.
For far too long in northern Ontario we relied on backbenchers to tell us what Ottawa wants. The time has come to send some hard-working New Democrats to tell Ottawa what we need, fight for northern communities, fight for northern industries and fight for our northern way of life.

Bev Oda Clarington—Scugog—Uxbridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, last December, Canadians and the heritage minister welcomed the CRTC's decision to allow more foreign third language television services into Canada.
Nearly a year later, only one service, RAI television, has been approved, but Canadians of Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Bangladeshi and Pakistani origin are still waiting.
The government promised our multicultural communities greater access to these services and the CRTC chair promised speedy approval processes.
In October, the earthquake in Pakistan claimed an estimated 80,000 lives and left over 2 million people homeless. Pakistani Canadians are desperate for information on the welfare of their families and friends and updates on the rebuilding process, and yet PTV, Pakistani Television, is among the 32 services still waiting for CRTC approval.
Another unfulfilled government promise is standing between Canada's Pakistani community and the vital information they deserve in this time of crisis.
On behalf of the multicultural communities, I--

Great Live Moments - Benny Golson

Aside from being one of the foremost composers of jazz standards - "I Remember Clifford," "Whisper Not," "Stablemates," and "Killer Joe" immediately come to mind - Benny Golson is one of the real gentlemen of our music. When WBGO approached Mr. Golson for approval to post music from the American Jazz Radio Festival in 1987, here's what he said:
Please use whatever you want in whatever way you choose. WBGO has made a
hero out of me by playing my recordings over the years. Be assured, this
does not go without much appreciation. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
May all that your collective hands find to do continue to meet with certain
success always.
Benny Golson
Is this cat for real? Yes, absolutely.
Listen to Benny Golson's "Are You Real," from the WBGO Archives.
Perhaps you'll consider becoming a WBGO member. They make great live moments like this possible. Contribute now.

Because nuts are nutrient-dense foods, they're ideal for snacking. A small portion of pistachio nuts (about 49 nuts) can help curb that hunger and pistachios have a heart-healthy fatty acid profile as well.1
Perfect on their own, these in-the-shell, unsalted, roasted pistachios are a sweet, nutty treat. Take them out of their shell and add them to favorite dishes for extra crunch. A serving size of just one ounce provides 2.8 grams of fiber, 5.9 grams of protein, and 285 mg of potassium.2

Skip to comments.Weiner's New Confession Rocks N.Y. Mayor Race
Posted on 07/24/2013 12:02:58 AM PDT by lbryce
Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner jolted the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday, saying his habit of sending lewd pictures and messages to women he met online had continued well past his June 2011 resignation from Congress.
"I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have," Mr. Weiner said at a news conference. "While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong.
Mr. Weiner said he is no longer engaged in such behavior.
The revelation, prompted by postings Monday on a gossip website, raised questions about Mr. Weiner's ability to maintain the strong position he has held in recent polls of the crowded Democratic primary race. It also led some rivals to call for Mr. Weiner's resignation, though he vowed to stay in the race.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Certainly, the New York City Democratic Party elders in the throes of a political dilemma, with Weiner and Spitzer ahead in their respective races can breath a bit easier now that Weiner continues to draw attention to himself in a manner he would just as soon continue to put it all in the past.
Weiner was considered a fair bet to win. Now? If he had competition....he'd be out, but so far, no competition. I think anyone with a name....could win the race.
On the conservative side, it is often complained that we have no qualified candidates.
On the liberal side, this is a plus. The more warts and black eyes you have, the higher your stock rises.
Go figure.
Anyone that would trust this guy is a complete idiot.
Having said that, anyone that would trust ANY New York mayor is also a complete idiot.
I hope New York gets the hot dog mayor. New Yorkers deserve him.
"New Yorkers deserve him."...and so much more, of the same.

Weiner would not be facing this if he weren't ahead in the polls.
The primary opponent, Christine Quinn, needs to take him down.
Weiner through his wife does have the Clinton connection and he figures he can beat the heat just like good ole Bill did.
Let's face it ... this guy is basically a flasher, and if he didn't have access to an iPhone camera he'd probably be lurking around a library late at night wearing nothing but a raincoat.
American voters are developing a very high tolerance for mediocrity, smut and corruption.
No, thanks.
"American voters are developing a very high tolerance for mediocrity, smut and corruption."
Agreed. Sizing up the Weiner transgressions, he's still more qualified for elected office than our current Marxist in Chief.
Right, Weiner is only covering HIMSELF with S%$#.
"O" is making sure we're ALL equally befouled as HE IS HIMSELF!
He will win on name recognition as long as he does not drop out. It's sickening.
They actually thing that having no moral character does not impede someone's ability to be an excellent executive (mayor, governor, president etc...). They do not understand that moral character and leadership go hand-in-hand.
As a confessed pervert and liar, he should be running for president or governor of New York.
I'll bet Huma really does wish she had an Oscar Meyer weiner instead of this dog.
I some how do not believe the people of NYC care less as a matter a fact they will come out in droves to vote for the filthy bastards..
Weiner's wife really wants the clown to win there will be parties coming from the Muslim community when he does..They will have a better chance to destroy NYC while the Mayor is on the internet showing the teen his weiner..
This is a reflection of who we are as a society. Utterly without honor or shame, full of self esteem, achieving nothing. Seeing no need for self control or personal responsibility.
I have no doubt that New Yorkers will elect him. They are sickos - the more perverted -the better.
I chose my FR screen name years ago. It was apt then and is even more so now.
Great Cartoon, 2nd. From a 1878th Comm Squadron vet.
'They will have a better chance to destroy NYC________'
Eggs - actly what I think.
Mrs. Weiner is the Muslim Wedge.
Manhattan Weiner Muslim Wedgie
Sumbody STOP me - - -
Let's assume it did his soul wonders. His wife forgave him. Maybe G-d forgave him. So why does that mean he should become mayor of NYC. Doesn't he want some time in seclusion to ponder his sins. Doesn't he want time out of the spotlight to make it up to his forgiving wife? It's all a crock so that he can go on seeking elected office.
especially THAT name.
Think of all the New Posts that will be sold every day with a special Weiner headline.
The jokes will just write themselves...day after day!
I keep wondering why Humma Weiner doesn't just run for mayor Herself. She's obviously the one who's going to be running the city while her worthless husband diddles himself over the internet. She's got all the Muzzie Brotherhood connections and has the obvious intentions to take the biggest city in the USA further under the swamp waters into Hell. Plus she'll get at least six Vogue covers a year. Bonus!
Weiners in hot water.
'I keep wondering why Humma Weiner doesn't just run for mayor Herself.'
Shhhh - don't give them any ideas - - -
Is this why the female candidate in the race does not like weiner? (/s)
BWAHAHAHA - Weiner's shot at mayor is suddenly going limp
There's no way she could be joined at the hip with Hillary for the 2016 campaign if Huma was mayor. Love conquers desire for power...

Slicing & Carving KnivesFor some chefs, preparing a juicy turkey or roast is a simple task. However, carving the cut of meat often proves to be a much more difficult task than preparing it. Invest in a sturdy carving knife from Williams-Sonoma to quickly and efficiently cut the meat into uniform slices or appropriately sized pieces. Carving with these sharp slicing knives results in clean cuts of meat that look aesthetically pleasing. The large assortment of dapper materials and chic designs ensures that chefs find knives that complement their kitchen's decor.
Around the holidays, you may find yourself bringing a turkey or ham to the home of a friend or family member. As a chef, it is best to be prepared. Use a lightweight knife roll to safely and conveniently transport your favorite carving knives. Some rolls include slots to hold knives into place, while others contain an open space that accommodates knives of all sizes.
Nothing is worse than trying to use your carving knife, only to discover that the blade is dull and listless. Even the finest stainless-steel carving knives require regular maintenance to provide a superior carving experience. Keep your carving knives ready for action with regular attention from a knife sharpener. Both electric and manual knife sharpeners are available. Some chefs prefer the ease of use associated with electric models, while others prefer the control offered by a manual piece. Electric sharpeners include different sharpening stages so that you can customize how much or how little you sharpen your carving and slicing knives.
After sharpening your carving knives, it is time to stow them until your next dinner or event. Some carving knives come as a set that includes a carving fork and storage case. If your carving knife doesn't have a case or if you prefer to keep your knife nearby, a knife block is a smart alternative. Knife blocks have multiple spaces, so that you can hold your carving, slicing and steak knives in a single convenient spot. Many even feature slots to hold commonly used cutting accessories, such as your carving fork or honing steel. While you are cooking, protect yourself from the sharpened blade by covering it with a blade guard. Blade guards are also a storage solution for knives that you prefer not to store in a knife block.
As you use your carving knives, you may discover that you have a preference for a certain type of knife blade. Some of the most popular varieties of carving knife blades include curved edges and hollow edges. A curved edge carving knife swiftly slices through even the largest cut of meat. Hollow edge knives minimize friction, enabling the carver to slide the knife closer to the bone to quickly remove the meat. Small hollow edge carving knives also work well for slicing produce and cheese. Regardless of which type of blade you prefer, it is important to protect your kitchen counter with a cutting board. If you like to keep your cutting board on the counter at all times, a wooden cutting board is an attractive alternative that matches practically any style of decor. Synthetic cutting boards are another great choice due to the ease of cleaning them. Many are safe to put in the dishwasher for maximum simplicity when it comes to cleanup.
When you are planning a big event, it makes sense to use equipment that makes food prep as simple as possible. Swap your favorite manual carving knife for an electric carving knife. These high-tech slicing knives make it a cinch to slice meat, bread, produce and cheese into uniform slices. You can even pick how thick you want your slices to be by customizing the carving settings. Don't let the thought of another cord in your kitchen intimidate you; cordless electric carving knives are a terrific solution if you are short on electrical outlets. Once your cutting is complete, use a magnetic knife bar to stow the knife nearby. Mount your magnetic knife bar on a wall or cabinet to preserve precious counter space.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Dam safety awareness
Wisconsin Public Service is urging recreational and fishing enthusiasts to BE SAFE around dams and hydro electric facilities.
The message is part of Dam Safety Awareness Week, April 29-May 4, as declared statewide by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
With the start of inland waterways fishing season this week, Dam Safety Awareness Week's purpose is to emphasize the importance of "safety" near dams and on waterways to help prevent accidents.
Many of the accidents and fatalities that occur near dams could be prevented by using common sense, practicing safety, staying clear of dams and understanding the dangers to be found near them.
Wisconsin Public Service operates 17 hydro electric facilities on the Wisconsin, Peshtigo, Tomahawk, Menominee Rivers and encourages safe recreational activities in areas above and below the dams.
Wisconsin Public Service is a member of the Midwest Hydro Users Group, an association of dam owners who promote safe, efficient, economical and environmentally friendly use of hydroelectric power. The group urges outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the many recreational resources that can be found around dams in Wisconsin.
Some safety precautions include:
– Obey all warning signs, fences, buoys, booms and barriers. They are put there to protect you. The areas inside are dangerous, stay clear of them.
– Any sirens and flashing lights indicate an imminent change in water level or flow.
– Bring a cell phone and contact 911 in an emergency.
– Wear a personal floatation device (PFD), a life jacket.
– Stay a safe distance outside of warning signs, buoys, booms and barriers when fishing, boating or swimming.
– Stay well back from the edge of waters above and below hydroelectric dams and stations.
– Never stand below a dam, or anchor or tie your boat there. Rapidly changing water levels and flows can take you by surprise and could swamp your boat or put you in the grip of an undertow.
– Stay off hydroelectric dams or station structures, unless Wisconsin Public Service has clearly indicated walkways, or observation points.
– Stay well back from the edge of a waterway where footing may be slippery.
– Don't wade into moving water.
– Never swim near a dam.
– Never boat or fish alone when near a dam.
– Leave your boat motor running to provide maneuvering power.
– Stay clear of spillways; changing currents and "boiling" waves that can make boat control difficult near dams. Reverse currents occur below dams and can pull a boat back toward the dam into the spillway and capsize it.
– Never anchor boats below a dam because water levels can change rapidly.
– Especially in spring, cold water can cause hypothermia that could result in death from drowning.
– Always have a safe escape route planned when near a dam. Be prepared to evacuate at the first sign of danger.
– Set an example for children, who may not be aware of the dangers, even if they can read. State explicitly where they can and cannot go and make sure you are close to them and can see them at all times.

Here's how RW members rated this race (56 votes).
In short: Superb raceIn full: Did the 20 (19) miler, Will be back for the 33.Left OS map in work but no panic as well signposted and never had to refer to route notes (Would recommend taking them though in case livestock eat direction arrows)Excellent facilities at HQ, Well marshalled & well stocked checkpoints. Very scenic.Post race food very much appreciated & an original proper local pottery made mug as a momentoDate of review: May 17, 2011
In short: A beautiful scenic well organised event.In full: My second year of entering this event.(33 miles). For me it is very challenging and there is a great sense of achievement in finishing. The outstanding views, superb organisation, supportive and caring marshals make it a special day.The instructions are easy to understand and accurate and I was pleased that there were some compass bearings included.I ran with two other members of my club (who ran with me last year)and our goal was to finish within the official finish time. We finished in 7hrs 45 mins which was an hour and a half faster than last year so we were very pleased with ourselves and also for the organisers who kindly waited for us at the finish last year. (We didn't take a picnic with us last year! - we just learnt from our experience). Thanks also to four of our club supporters who gave encouragement not only to ourselves but also to all the other runners.Mike Barker Date of review: May 17, 2011
In short: A great introduction to the Ultra distanceIn full: My sort of event. Organised by runners so everything was spot-on. Choice of distance, comprehensive and easy to following written route instruction (with plenty of direction markers to give reassurance), sublime and varied scenery in an unspoilt part of the country, eight well stocked and enthusiastically manned check-points/feed stations, friendly runners and supportors (there was one couple who appeared at numerous parts of the course supporting someone that must have been supporting a runner close behind me, and seemed to adopt me and the others in our group, and their support helped me to get to the finish when I started to struggle), and a welcoming finish. Lovely earthenware mug as souvenir, and a hearty post-race meal/with tea/coffee made on request. A perfect way to relax, refuel and chat to your fellow runners about what a great day we had. Thanks to MRC, and I'll be back again next year. Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: A superb race, so well organised, very friendly people everywhere!In full: This club always do a fantastic job, other clubs could learn from the MRC - well done guys will be back next year - PS Every runner should run this race!Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Thank you allIn full: A very nice run through some areas of the country very few people get to see.Some nice hills and navigation was not hard at all.Great marshalls and check points seemed to come around quickly - kept moral up thinking only 3 miles to the next check point!Nice last five miles mostly flat or down hill makes a nice quick finish. Will be back next year.Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Highly enjoyable race.In full: This was my first go at the Marlborough Downs Challenge and I found it to be a well organised and scenic event. There was plenty of parking at the start and the toilets facilties at the nearby leisure centre where registration took place seemed more than adequate.The route was extremely scenic and for the most part very runnable. The checkpoints were extremely efficiently manned by very helpful and friendly volunteers and had a choice of water or squash and a variety of biscuits and sweets. They seemed sensibly thought out too. I think the biggest gap between them was 10k though the marshalls gave m eplenty of warning about this at the stop before. Most gaps seemed to be about 4 miles which felt just right.Marshalling was low-key as you might expect on a 33 mile race, but the marshalls who were on route were extremely supportive and did an excellent job. Navigation was made easy by a combination of comprehensive pre-race directions (which I would heartily recommend runners take with them) and signposts at critical points.The finish was slick, with a nice earthenware mug for all finishers. The post-race meal was the nicest I have ever eaten. The veggie option was a cheese and pasta bake with side salad and it went down an absolute treat!Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable race and one I would very much recommend particularly if you are new to ultra-running or even if you are a more experienced runner looking for a quicker time or an enjoyable day out in the Wiltshire countryside.Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: I love the raceIn full: Second go at the 33 miler and still my favourite race. Great scenery, varying terrain. Great marshalls.Most of my run was powered by Jaffa cakes - thanks for those.Directions are easy enough to follow and makes you pay attension on the way round. The course undulates, so there are plenty of hilly bits - but nothing that can't be run up.Makes a great introduction to Ultra runningThanks again to the organisers - see you next year. Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Awesome fastest ultra I've done!In full: Lovely people, easy route to follow and great hand made mug at the end. Not mention the great food at the end. All in all superb! Thanks, rogerDate of review: May 15, 2011
In short: Lovely race, perfect all round. Challenging first half but nice few miles to finish.In full: Awesome views, plenty of direction arrows all round, easy to navigate (directions spot on to garmin distances). Friendly race, marshalls great. Biccies, jelly babies, water & juice at checkpoints. Choice of colour of nice pottery mug at end.3 diff pasta dishes + salad at the end. Will be there for the 33 next year - there, now I've said it!!! Couldn't be improved. Magic race, thanks guys. Date of review: May 15, 2011
In short: Superb views, marshalls, atmosphere and supporters.In full: Breathtaking views - great written instructions, together with OS map, means little chance of getting majorly lost!! Very friendly runners and marshalls - all added up to a fantastic day out! Many thanks everyone.Date of review: May 15, 2011

Lawmaker lags on a decision
It was in February 2011 when word – and a photo – of scandal broke. U.S. Rep. Christopher Lee sent a woman a photo of himself shirtless. Within hours, the Congressional member resigned.
"It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York. I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness," Lee said in a statement on that Feb. 11 evening.
Fast-forward to December 2013 and another Western New York lawmaker is facing charges of sexual harassment from current and former employees, but he has not been seen or heard from since the story broke.
Dennis Gabryszak, a state Assemblyman from Cheektowaga, has been told by his attorney to do exactly what elected officials are not accustomed to doing: stay silent in regard to the allegations from the female staffers regarding his unwanted remarks and advances.
State Gov. Andrew Cuomo, however, has voiced his concerns. Just last week he called for two lawmakers to resign due to harassment allegations.
"The latest reports of sexual harassment in the Assembly should be the last straw," Cuomo said in a statement released Tuesday. "This pattern of behavior is repugnant by every standard and directly contradicts the policies the Assembly has advanced for the last 20 years."
Lee made a bad decision and immediately owned up to it. Gabryszak, by his sudden seclusion and lack of denial since December, seems to be in the same situation.
His delay in addressing the issue – by resigning or denying – reflects poorly on the state and those he serves.

Intel Corp. has started to ship its systems powered by its prototype processor known as single chip cloud computer (SCC) that contains 48 x86 cores to software developers outside the company. The world's largest chipmaker hopes that the 48-core SCC will help both it as well as software developers to create a vision for microprocessors of the future.
"We have started to share [SCC-based systems] with very select external partners. There are some interesting results coming out and I guess pretty interesting news are incoming over summer," said Sebastian Steibl, the director of Intel Labs Braunschweig and one of the co-designers of the SCC chip, in an interview with X-bit labs.
The prototype chip contains 24 tiles with two x86 cores per each, which results in 48 cores – the largest number ever placed on a single piece of silicon. Each core can run a separate OS and software stack and act like an individual compute node that communicates with other compute nodes over a packet-based network. Every core sports its own L2 cache and each tile sports a special router logic that allows tiles to communicate with each other using a 24-router mesh network with 256GB/s bisection bandwidth. There is no hardware cache coherence support among cores in order to simplify the design, reduce power consumption and to encourage the exploration of datacenter distributed memory software models on-chip. Each tile (2 cores) can have its own frequency, and groupings of four tiles (8 cores) can each run at their own voltage. The processor sports four integrated DDR3 memory controllers, or one controller per twelve cores.
Intel calls x86 cores inside the SCC as "Pentium-class" cores since they are superscalar in-order execution engines, but stresses that those are not cores used inside by the original Pentium (P5) processors since they have been enhanced in order to achieve certain goals and make the design suitable for implementation into the experimental chip. Considering that SCC lacks any floating point vector units, raw horsepower of the chip is relatively weak.
Intel SCC is not supposed to become an actual product by definition. The design, peculiarities and single-thread performance of the prototype will hardly satisfy actual users. The chip is purely a prototype that will help Intel and software developers to determine directions for future development of the microprocessors and software.
"It was designed by a small group of researchers in Braunschweig in order to foster multi-core programming research as well as some microprocessor research angle," said Mr. Steibl.

In short: 1st Marathon - Crowd were absolutely awesome - thanksDate of review: April 28, 2012
Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: WowIn full: I love this race.My 1st VLM and nailed a 2.55 pb.The crowds were unbelievable. If you get the chance then do it.Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: What an awesome day out. In full: I loved every minute of the day, from the un-London like friendliness on the train in right through to the post race-pint basking in a glow of achievement. This was my second marathon (the last was thirty years ago), and the atmosphere was just unbelievable all the way round. A huge lift of those weary last few miles when it gets so tough. So different from my usual countryside running but massively enjoyable. I've got the bug!Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: 5 years in a row. Hope to be 6 next year. I love this race!Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: Everything you want a race to beIn full: Third time, and third great day. Everything is so easy - all the facilities are exactly where you want them to be and so all you have to think about is running. I was on the FGFA start this year and we were up to speed within yards and very little congestion. It's a bit different if you're further back where it can be very crowded, but it's still possible to run a good time. The one downside to the FGFA start is that all the bags go on one truck and most of the runners finish within a few minutes of each other so it's an absolute scrum to get your bag back, but that's a very minor inconvenience in the scheme of things. I'll be back next year for a crack at 3 hours Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: Different classIn full: People who I had spoken to before said that it was worth doing for the crowds alone and they were right. If you ever need to restore your faith in the goodness of human nature either enter this event or go and see it.I have never been more glad to see a finish line, but also more reluctant to finish. Like many I said never again on the day, but now the aches and pains have gone..............Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: AwesomeIn full: Spine tingling support, awe inspiring landmarks, brilliantly organised. On the day i swore never again, now i cant wait for 2013!!Date of review: April 27, 2012

We stayed here June-13 and it was a great base for seeing Melbourne. The location was ideal for good local bars and restaurants. It had excellent transport links to the city allowing an easy 15 min trip in. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend it to all
My (adult) son and I were very happy with the apartment. It is stylish, extremely well equipped and comfortable. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect for a stay in Melbourne with the local area offering everything required for eating out or shopping for food for eating in. Access to the city is quick and very easy on the tram which is just a two minute walk away. I would definitely book this apartment again.
This property, location and hosts exceeded our expectations and contributed greatly to a positive Melbourne experience. The flat is comfortable, quiet, tastefully decorated, and a few minutes walk to the tram stop, restaurants, bakeries and grocer. The hosts are warm, welcoming and helpful. We would gladly return. Highly recommended!
Booked this accommodation for a visiting professor and his family from Austria. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to liaise with. The whole family enjoyed the stay and commented on the high quality of the accommodation and the kindness of the hosts, telling them all about Melbourne and its suburbs.

Topic: [SOLVED] Controller "Respond_to" is skipping javascript?
I'm trying to update a DB record using a link.
view file
<td id="toggle-status">
<%= render :partial => 'toggle_response', :locals => {:app => appointment} %>
<%= link_to 'Toggle Completed', {:controller => 'appointments', :action => 'toggle_completed', :id => app.id}, :id => 'toggle-completed', :method => :put, :remote => true %>
def toggle_completed
@appointment = Appointment.find(params[:id])
@appointment.completed = @appointment.completed==1 ? 0 : 1
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :partial => 'toggle_response', :locals => {:app => @appointment} }
resources :appointments do
put 'toggle_completed', :on => :member
and finally, appointments.js.coffee
jQuery ($) ->
alert 'loaded'
toggle_status = $("#toggle-status")
setLoadingText = ->
toggle_status.text "loading..."
$("#toggle-completed").bind("ajax:loading", setLoadingText).bind("ajax:success",
(data, status, xhr) ->
What happens is, I click the "Set Complete" link and ajax runs like normal. The record DOES GET UPDATED. And the PUT response IS THE PARTIAL. However, the "ajax:success" bind I have in my appointments.js.coffee does not get executed. The script DOES load initially because the "alert 'loaded'" pops up as it should.
The only way I can get my "ajax:success" to execute is if I remove the "format.js" from my controller's respond_to. Why is that?
I've been looking everywhere online, there are no good resources for rails and ajax (as far as updating via a link goes).
I need help on this! I feel like I'm making this harder than it needs to be.
