John O'Reilly Victoria—Haliburton, ON
Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago I was asked by one of the parliamentary pages if I would sponsor a reception for them. Of all the members of Parliament they chose me. I was quite surprised and honoured.
Today I stand before the House to pay tribute to the pages because without them we would not be able to function as efficiently and as effectively as we do. These young women and young men are extremely bright, highly motivated and possess a particular charm which I hope each one of us has had the opportunity to experience.
I have on occasion had the opportunity to talk with many if not all the pages. I truly admire their commitment to their duties as well as their ability to thoroughly enjoy what they are doing. They have at times made my job a lot easier. I only hope I did not make their job more difficult.
As we will soon be saying goodbye to this particular group of pages, I wish them all continued success in their future endeavours. I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in an ovation to show our sincere appreciation.

Jack Iyerak Anawak Nunatsiaq, NT
The lands of the Inuvialuit in the Western Arctic and those of the Blood Tribe in Alberta are a long way from any south sea island, but last week in both regions major aboriginal achievements were celebrated.
On June 5 the Inuvialuit celebrated the 10th anniversary of its land claim settlement. This historic agreement achieved a sharing of lands, resources and decision making that continues to benefit the Inuvialuit, the Northwest Territories and Canada.
On June 9 the Blood Tribe celebrated the first delivery of water under its irrigation project, an impressive project of tribal and government partnership which expands economic and employment opportunities for all.
I salute these positive examples of mutual respect, sharing, accommodation and co-operation. I congratulate the Inuvialuit and the Blood Tribe for their vision, drive and generosity, and I wish them continued success in their endeavours.
Jeunes Du Monde

Jean-Guy Chrétien Frontenac, QC
Mr. Speaker, some collective gestures are welcomed with enthusiasm and admiration. Students in the town of Thetford, in my riding, have raised $5,500 in support of people in Rwanda and Burundi, showing their generosity and compassion.
This initiative sponsored by a youth group called Jeunes du Monde was such a success that these young people, mostly high school students, are challenging other Quebec areas and the rest of Canada to match their efforts. If the 600 high schools in Quebec were to meet this challenge, they would raise over$3.5 million on behalf of these two civil war-torn countries.
The Thetford experience may only be a drop in the ocean, but it is small gestures like this one which change the world.
Young Offenders Act
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Cliff Breitkreuz Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, Julian Waites was a boy who found himself in trouble with the law. He faced over 40 charges in youth court, mostly theft related. He played the Young Offenders Act like a harp knowing precisely which strings he could pull and when.
His mother, Mary, desperately wanted the courts to punish her son so he would be deterred from repeat offending. She wanted the courts to give him a jail sentence, send him to work camps, anything that would make the young boy think twice about repeat offending.
Julian was incorrigible. He resisted help from his family and the law allowed him to continue his life of crime. Today Julian Waites faces charges of sexual assault, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats.
Mrs. Waites largely blames the inadequacies of the Young Offenders Act for her son's current troubles. He was not punished for the crimes he committed as a youth and his mother says the Young Offenders Act actually encouraged him to repeat offend. Mrs. Waites is convinced that a tougher Young Offenders Act might have given her son a chance at a normal life.

Brenda Chamberlain Guelph—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, recent polls have confirmed that Canadians are demanding action on crime and violence.
I applaud the Minister of Justice for his commitment to ensuring that Canadians will live without fear for their personal safety.
The red book has outlined many measures which will ensure our safety and security. A tough line on violence, stricter penalties, the reform of the Young Offenders Act and further control of violent pornography were all included in our campaign promises.
The government must continue to take the lead on addressing root causes of crime. Unemployment, hopelessness, the breakdown of families and the use of illegal drugs all contribute to a more violent and unsafe society.
Canadians are a non-violent and peace loving people. We must continue to respond with comprehensive, effective approaches to the issues of crime and punishment.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Karen Kraft Sloan York—Simcoe, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have had the pleasure of receiving packages of comments from visiting students from St. Patrick's School in Schomberg and Morning Glory Public School in Pefferlaw. Both are located in my riding of York-Simcoe.
Overwhelmingly these young people have indicated that the environment is their number one concern. Here is a sample of some of their comments: "Our environment is precious". "People should be aware of the pollution they cause". "The environment is important to look at first because we may not have much time left".
Gun Control
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Paul Zed Fundy Royal, NB
Mr. Speaker, our office has received numerous letters, petitions and phone calls from concerned constituents in New Brunswick about speculation regarding further regulations for rifles and guns. There is a great deal of misinformation being circulated with regard to the government's intention.
The government is considering options that will address the issue in a fair and responsible matter. These include tough jail sentences for gun related crimes, increased border controls to combat smuggling, a universal firearms registration system to track gun ownership, additional restrictions on handguns, a possible ban on military assault weapons and tighter controls on the sale of ammunition.
I understand the government does not want to ban ordinary rifles and shotguns owned by law-abiding citizens. In fact the Minister of Justice stated in the House last week that he had no desire to unnecessarily inconvenience responsible gun owners
such as farmers and hunters who use firearms for lawful purposes.
I urge the Minister of Justice to maintain this rational and sensible approach on measures he will introduce to combat gun related crimes.
The Stanley Cup
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean-Paul Marchand Québec-Est, QC
Mr. Speaker, tonight Quebecers and Canadians who are hockey fans will be able to watch the seventh and final match of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Rangers.
Having seen many similar events in Quebec since the Montréal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup some 24 times, and in spite of all political differences that oppose us periodically, we of the Bloc Quebecois wish to share with the people of Vancouver and of British Columbia their enthusiasm in the quest for their first Stanley Cup since 1915.
How remarkable that hockey once again is fostering good relations between peoples of different origins and cultures. In the name of all Quebecers for whom hockey is the object of great national pride, we want to express to all our friends in British Columbia the very best of chances tonight.
Go Canucks, go.

Canada Council
Statements By Members

Jan Brown Calgary Southeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, on a different topic and graver note, a homosexual group funded by the federal government is guilty of gross intolerance toward a Toronto Sun columnist.
Last December Christina Blizzard of the Sun wrote a story questioning whether public funding should be going to Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto, a group which advertises live sex acts and violent sado-masochistic seminars.
The actors reacted by encouraging members to spit on Ms. Blizzard. They tried to storm the Sun Building to present her with a mock award depicting a bloody mallet. In her own neighbourhood they erected wanted posters of her filled with lies and allegations.
They directed a violent play against Ms. Blizzard entitled "Dinner with Christina" which suggested that what she and other people like her they really needed was to be raped late at night in an alley. This disgusting behaviour by Buddies in Bad Times was made possible by $60,000 a year in Canada Council grants.
I urge the minister not to hide behind the arms length principle and immediately initiate an evaluation of the organizations currently funded by the Canada Council.
Serial Killer Cards
Statements By Members
June 14th, 1994 / 2:15 p.m.
Larry McCormick Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox And Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, we as parliamentarians must do everything possible to ban the sale and distribution in Canada of serial killer cards and board games intended for children. I rise to say that I am greatly encouraged by steps that the Minister of Justice has taken in this regard. By his actions, the minister has shown that this government is committed to taking measures that will protect our children from exposure to material that glorifies violence, cruelty and horror.
On behalf of the constituents of Hastings-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, I call on the members of the justice committee to amend the customs and tariffs legislation to prohibit the importation of serial killer cards into Canada.
Let us try to put an end to these kinds of perverted, profit motivated, marketing gimmicks aimed at corrupting the minds of our children.
First Nations
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Anna Terrana Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, as a Vancouverite let me thank the Bloc Quebecois for my constituents in Vancouver East for supporting the Canucks. Go Canucks go.
On Friday, I had the privilege of attending a convocation ceremony in Kamloops, B.C. Fifteen aboriginal people, members of the Shuswap band, earned Bachelor of Arts degrees from Simon Fraser University. They were the first graduates of a joint program established between the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society and Simon Fraser University, which allows them to do their studies in Kamloops.
It was an emotional but very proud event. I am glad to inform the House that there are now 300 students enrolled in the program and that at the ceremony the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development reaffirmed support for such programs by the federal government. This is just one of the ways in which the First Nations are continuing to make their members independent. Let me congratulate the Shuswap band, the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society and Simon Fraser University for such an endeavour.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the federal government has asked Canadian nationals to leave Haiti by June 25, in other words, before air communications between Canada and Haiti are suspended. However, we still do not know Ottawa's position on the use of military intervention to drive out the junta and allow the return of president Aristide.
I want to ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs to indicate whether Canada is among the countries that are putting pressure on the United States to send a force for military intervention in Haiti.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
André Ouellet Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition asked a similar question some time ago, when he spoke out in favour of military intervention. We prefer a peaceful solution. We want to avoid killing people, if at all possible. There has already been too much of that in Haiti. We hope that we will be able to make the military listen to reason and persuade them to leave and let president Aristide come back to his country, but without endangering the lives of the Haitian people who are now very vulnerable, in a situation that could degenerate into armed conflict.

Lost dog reward: beer and cigarettes
A woman in Dayton who had two dogs escape from her yard posted signs in her neighborhood offering a case of beer and a pack of cigarettes to anyone who could help her find the dogs.Continue Reading
And it worked.
After Abigail Miller, 23, offered the reward, a man called and told her that he saw a dog matching the desctiption of her husky, Zoro, at a nearby home. She was able to get her dog back from the people who found Zoro,
She also got back her other dog, Anja, which was found at a local animal shelter.
Miller told the Dayton Daily News that she offered the unsual reward because she thought it would get some attention -- and it was a reward she could afford.
Her tipster, however, declined the reward.
Find out more about Miller and her dogs and see photos in this story at the Dayton Daily News website.Posted by Gary Kiefer on January 14, 2014 10:46 AM

Press Conference Offers Southern Oregon Real Estate Snapshot
A look at the raw numbers suggests an improving Southern Oregon real estate market, but there's still room for improvement. The Rogue Valley Association of Realtors took time today at a Medford press conference to offer a look at real estate trends in Jackson County for the first six months of 2012.
When comparing 2012 trends to what they were during the same time period in 2011, there is seen an overall rise of $10,000 in the median sales price of an existing home from $145,000 to $155,000. Interestingly enough, the increase is coming from rising prices in REO (bank-owned) properties and short sales. The median prices for so-called "normal" transactions are virtually unchanged at $189,950, compared to $190,000 in 2011. For perspective, at this time in 2007, the median sales price for a Jackson County home was $266,950.
Normal transactions continue to make up a plurality of sales, at 44%,however REO (38%) and short sales (18%) comprise a combined majority. REO transactions decreased by 4%, while short sales increased by 3%.
The average number of days a property is on the market is shortening up 100 to 75 days. Raw sales also increased from 945 to 1,055.

Topic: How to model multiple tables with same schema
I'm trying to convert an old PHP project to rails.
I have 7 database servers, I replicate the data from these to one beefy server for feeding the website. I'm trying to figure out how I can do the modeling with Rails without having to make/remove classes if I add/remove a server and have use of all the builtin Rails relationships. Here's a brief layout:
Servers table:
id, name, ip, etc
Then I have tables for each server:
There are 15 other tables that relate to the device with the same format, <server_id>_<tablename>. I can't merge them without having the ID's overlap, and it would make huge tables.
I have a table called Devices, with the DeviceID and ServerID. In PHP, I query it with DeviceID to find the ServerID and then use:
wherever I need a specific table.
Any idea's how I can do that in Rails?

I agree completely, but at the same time I do find the apparent compulsion some people have to respond to him interesting. Even the most blatant baiting seems to work very effectively. The respondants have to be aware they're being manipulated, but still they're compelled to take the bait—very interesting.
I also have to admit that I find TC's thought patterns genuinely amusing sometimes—they often remind me of programming loops and errors from Asimov's robot books, and adding the responses I described above to that just really strikes me as a funny situation.
Now here is a subject worthy of discussion! First, why do believers think (or not) the way they do? Second, why do so many, supposedly rational individuals feel compulsion to "reason" with them? I'm always fascinated by psychology and brain science. Wouldn't it be fun to put TC in a fMRI scanner and show him/her/it pictures of unicorns or aliens and see what parts of the brain light up and see if he/she/it renounces the reality of those images. Then show him/her/it a painting of jc and see what portions light up. My hypothesis says it isn't the cerebral cortex!
A Lurker: I found the book in the library. I like books on faith and intellectual reasoning and the like. I skimmed through it. But after it was hard to take it seriously after the first chapter. The whole premise was illogical.
But let me say that I'll be checking up on Sam Harris in the future. I'm sure he will have interesting articles and books in the future. He probably learned a good lesson with this book (if you read commentaries, his book was widely rejected as nonense).
I think Champion is in his late teens or early 20's.
Since I was young and dumb, I have great patience with those suffereing from that disease now that I am older = )
Yeah, it's when people suffering from that disease start writing science textbooks and implementing social policy, that's when you have to start worrying.
Oh, wait, that's already happening…
[quote author="Iisbliss"]I think Champion is in his late teens or early 20's.

Unfortunately there is no guarantee that you will get undumber as you get older. Look at the average age of the radical christian right (or for that matter really right-wing republicans in general).
On the other hand there is the story of my father. He went to church all the time, read the bible too. He didn't force his beliefs on his children. Then one night after coming home from a dinner at the church he died, in his bed, beside my mother, he choked on his own vomit. I am now 5 years older than my father was when he died. When I look at his life and my life I cannot believe that there is a god, at least not the kind of god who looks after us.
Blue: you might not have talked about it, but I'm sure your father prayed for people like me to be set in your path, to be used in bringing the truth to you. Sharing one's faith can be a difficult thing, even to family members. Sometimes we simply don't have the words, but we hope that God will bring someone along and use them.
I'm sure you have a scar somewhere across your heart. It's probably something you've never shared with others. But God knows your heart, your wounds, your scars, your fears, your hopes, your dreams. He knows them better than anyone. And the great thing is, he's bigger than all your fears, even those that wonder if he really exists. He can break through every wall, my friend. He will, if you let him….
Blue, looks like TChamp has been sent by god (on behalf of your father's apparent prayers) to bring you into the truth - poor you.
It's interesting how convinced TChamp is of his own importance - that even strangers he meets on his lifepath are glorified by his blessed "word of god" divinity. I feel that TChamp has convinced himself so completely of his own importance and divine grace, that he can imagine and then believe that he has an intimate relationship with the "most important" entity in the universe. Just imagine how such an immature child would feel if he personally knew the president of the USA, why it would give that child a surge of self importance. Now imagine that we have a grown man with a small child's sense of reality, but in his case he believes that he is personally acquainted with, not merely the American President, but the actual creator of the universe, the most important, the ultimate, the pinnacle of divinity in the universe. Why the poor child/man's head must be literally "blown to pieces" and is now at least as big as The Milky Way itself. Let's face it, with a brain blown-out into the galaxial stratosphere, TChamp is incapable of comprehending even a shred of logic, reason or scientific fact. The poor man is livid with arrogance and deluded by his own "over-blown" self importance. He is unreachable.
If there is a scar on my heart who is responsible for it, He who controls the universe that's who.
Blue: doesn't he respect you enough to give you a free will? You could jump off a cliff today and he wouldn't stop you. So what scars are caused by us, what scars are caused by life, and what scars are inflicted directly by God?
God only has good plans for you, my friend, not bruises or scars. Life may give us scars, bumps, bruises, let downs, failures, but he's always there to heal the wounds, reset the course, and put us on the right path.
It's all in the book my friend…
Wow, Champ, You make god seem so kind and compasionate.
I'm going to keep posting this untill I get answers. I noticed you "forgot" to address these in other threads.
I am trying to find out exactly what you believe. Don't you think that is resonable considering the possible consequences?
I'll make it easy for you and for all of us. Just please answer true or false to the following questions. No elaborations are needed. Leave any blank that Christians don't know the answer to.
1.Hell was created for Satan and his angels by God.
2.People's souls will be tormented by Satan if they fail to meet God's standards for life in heaven.

14.No one who dies before the age of 5 will be damned to Hell.
15.There are only two places souls may be sent to after death; Heaven or Hell.
16.Unrepentant homosexuality is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
17.Unrepentant worship of Allah is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
18.Unrepentant worship of any God other than The Champion's God is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
19.Not believing that Jesus is the Son of God is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
20.Doubting that Jesus is the Son of God is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
21.Having never heard of Jesus is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
22.Not loving God is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
23.Not loving Jesus is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
24.Unrepentant smoking is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
25.Drinking 6 beers every night is enough of a sin to be sent to Hell.
26.It is possible there are souls as young as the age of 2 suffering in Hell.
27.It is possible there are souls as young as the age of 8 suffering in Hell.
28.It is possible there are souls as young as the age of 14 suffering in Hell.
29.God's love is perfect.
30.God's love is sometimes replaced with anger.
31.I believe God's justice is perfect.
32.God's justice makes sense to me.
33.God's justice seems a little harsh at times.
34.I can understand why some sinful souls need to be tormented forever.
35.Knowing that souls are being tormented for billions of years for 60 years of earthly sin seems reasonable to me.
36.A person may not have killed anyone or even ever seriously physically hurt anyone yet they may still deserve to go to Hell.
37.A person may not have killed anyone or even ever seriously physically hurt anyone, love his/her parents, children and fellow humans, and yet may still deserve to go to Hell.
38.A person may not have killed anyone or even ever seriously physically hurt anyone, love his/her parents, children and fellow humans, try throughout his/her life to help others and yet may still deserve to go to Hell.
39.A soul in heaven will be unbothered by the torment of souls in hell even if that soul in hell was a former son, daughter, brother, sister, father or mother, wife, or husband.
40.Knowing your children are being tormented for billions of years in hell (if thats where they were sent by God) will not weaken your love of god or diminish the bliss of heaven if that is your reward.
This isn't a test. We all just need to have some answers to these specific questions. Remember, only True and False answers. I will read any elaborations you write later in future posts only if you answer these questions as I have asked. Anything else and I will KNOW you are a coward and have not really looked deeply onto your heart, mind and Bible for the answers to a Godly life.
Thank You.
Tom, why are you asking me these questions. These answers can be found in the bible. Why ask me? Do your own homework…..(and calm down, geez…) ha.
Ok Tom!
See, you are a Coward. You don't have the courage to stand up like a man for your beliefs and answer these question truthfully and openly. Just true and false Champ. Questions 1-40!
And by the way, I'll return the favor and answer any 40 of your questions with true and false afterwards. Fair enough? Also, I know the "answers" can be found in the bible, but I want you and your pastor's take on it.
Thanks Champ
Tom: Why? What is the purpose?
What good will any religious exchange of ideas do for you? Are you in the process of being converted and you need my input?

Halle Berry has already filed a restraining order against her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry, but the fact he can't come into contact seems to be beside the point. He's gone ahead and filed his own restraining order as well!
The model has gotten a restraining order against Halle's fiance Olivier Martinez after their Thanksgiving brawl, claiming he made threats to kill Gabriel the day before the altercation. The arrangement forbids Olivier from going within 100 yards of Gabriel, his home, his workplace or his daughter's school until a court hearing on Dec. 17, according to ABCnews.com. Gabriel already has a restraining order against him that prevents him from being within 100 yards of Halle, their four-year-old daughter Nahla or Olivier.
What was this alleged death threat over? Find out after the jump!

Topic: Issue with rspec -- Could not find table 'users'
So I was doing spec tests until running into a weird problem, all the other tests passed except those user related ones.
It complains "Could not find table 'users'".
UsersController GET 'new' should be successful
Failure/Error: get 'new'
Could not find table 'users'
It doesn't matter what I am testing, as long as I mentioned user (@user, :user), the test will fail
Here is a little chuck of my spec code
require 'spec_helper'
describe UsersController do
describe "GET 'show'" do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory(:user)
it "should be successful" do
get :show, :id => @user
response.should be_success
the rest should be the same
Could anyone help me out here? Thank in advance!

Enzy has proven me wrong
Posted by Reviewer1971715 on Dec 09, 2007
After trying a verity of Enzy products over the years with little and no success. Enzy has certainly proven me wrong with this product. This is by far the best probotic I have ever used. I like the fact that it is once a day, can be taken with or with out food no need for refrigeration etc.. Most importantly this product works. I have had very little success with other probotics out there and these tinny pearls are powerful. Outstanding product and will definitely continue to purchase.

My husband and I use the Acidophilus Pearls daily and found them quite expensive until we found iherb.com. Now we can afford to continue to take them and we have also bought them for our families. Thank you for making this possible.

Missouri Hick in Cuba, MO
April 21st, 2010
On its way out of St Louis and through Missouri, Route 66 passes through a small town called Cuba. If you make it there you can't help but notice Missouri Hick, and if you notice it you can't help but stop. Once you do you'll be glad you did.

Wine lovers wax lyrical about citrus notes, chocolaty mouthfeel, oaky taste, and mellow aromas in their glass; coffee conioisseurs use terminology such as ashy, caramel, earthy, and nutty to describe their caffeine hit; now the Eyre Peninsula Seafood Industry has its own descriptors for the flavour and aromas that set its produce apart from other regions.
The industry has launched a flavour wheel for 12 seafood products: abalone, calamari, prawns, King George whiting, snapper, yellowtail, southern bluefin tuna, angasi oysters, Pacific oysters, rock lobster, kingfish, and mussels.
Their tastes – based on the terroir, or special characteristics of where and how the produce has been grown or handled – can now be spelled out using sensory language akin to that used in other gastronomic fields. It is hoped it will help boost the region's gastronomic tourism brand. Continue reading

Now with Manning probably gone in Week 2, the Browns have four favorable matchups to start the season. It's not out of the realm of possibility for the Browns to play four winless teams in a row. Then it's Oakland, Seattle, and San Fran after the off week. I wouldn't pick any of the Browns' first seven opponents to make the playoffs, not even the Colts.That's what it will take for the Browns to surprise -- the schedule to play as it looks on paper. After that, they need to stay healthy. They appear to be very thin.To be a true contender, they need someone to step up on offense. Still no one to catch the ball. For all the raves Sam Bradford received under Shurmer, well, the Rams only scored 18 more points than the Browns last season. I just don't see the Browns offense being better than last year without the personnel being better.

Though he doesn't even mention the lack of continuity with a new coach/scheme that the Browns face, it does seem as if the Browns fit most of his core attributes for being a sneaky sleeper. Though I'm not as high as some people, I do think Colt McCoy will legitimize himself this year as an NFL QB and I don't think 8-8 or 9-7 is out of the question just because of the schedule.

And remember how the Football Gods paid them back for their idiocy with Welker's 99-yard touchdown on the next play? Well, I ran that version of the fourth-and-goal fade pass in last week's NFL preview, rolling the dice with Baltimore to miss the playoffs and Cleveland to jump in its place. In retrospect, we'll remember that plan as the second-worst idea of the fall, behind The Playboy Club. After the Bengals hung around for three quarters, then ran a trick play for A.J. Green's go-ahead touchdown catch in the fourth, Colt McCoy completed just 3 of 12 passes for 20 yards and a pick in crunch time. What happened? Put it this way: There's a reason Mohamed Massaquoi, Greg Little, Brian Robiskie, Josh Cribbs, Benjamin Watson and Evan Moore didn't get drafted in your fantasy league. You can't make the playoffs in the National Football League if you can't play from behind. SELLING: All 1,000 shares.

Mark T. Bertolini Chairman and CEO of Aetna, said, �future generations rely on us to spend our money wisely and invest for the future.�
Sherle R. Schwenninger director of the economic growth program at the New America Foundation writes in the Nation magazine, �Over the past two decades the private sector has done a questionable job of allocating capital, over-investing in the technology sector by more that $3 trillion in the 1990�s and then recycling global surpluses into an even larger housing and mortgage bubble in the early 2000�s, all the while neglecting pressing infrastructure needs. Today, the banking and financial sector is sitting on more than $2 trillion, largely content to �arbitrage� the difference between near 0 percent short-term rates and somewhat higher longer-term rates rather than make new loans and investments in the real economy.�
Insurance companies are very much a part of the financial sector, the very same ones sitting on that capital.
Martin Leffler Professor of American history at the University of Virginia writes in the Nation magazine, �In 1959, �a congressional committee estimated that about 85 percent of electronics research was funded by the government, much of which went to major corporations like IBM, Burroughs, Control Data and Sperry. At this time, the government was paying for two-thirds of all computer-related research and development.� Government spending helped to create these mammoth corporations, banks and the financial industry who now refuse to allocate capital into investments which create jobs.
If the government can�t invest and the financial and banking industries refuse to invest, who�s left to invest in job creation?
CEO Mark Bertolini said companies like his aren�t creating jobs because they�re too concerned over the fiscal cliff. Or maybe uncertainty over Obamacare or tax rates will keep them from creating jobs.
In 1947 Kurt Vonnegut Jr. said, �there is simply not enough wealth to go around.� �If there is to be no ceiling on the amount of money a man can take out of our economy, then concomitantly there can be no firm foundation below which a human being cannot sink.�
They aren�t creating any jobs because they don�t want to, they like it just the way it is, taking wealth out of the economy and keeping it rather than investing it. We haven�t yet seen how low humans are willing to sink to maintain that control.

Continuing my saga for my [New Laptop], I have gotten all my programs operational, transferred and organized all my data, and now ready for testing. You can read my previous posts on this series: [Day 1], [Day 2], [Day 3], [Day 4].
At this point, you might be thinking, "Testing? Just use your laptop already, deal with problems as you find them!" In my case, I need to sign off that the new laptop meets my needs, and then send back my previous laptop, wiped clean of all passwords and data. I have until the end of June to do this.
The value of testing is to avoid problems later, perhaps an inconvenient time such as a business trip or client briefing. It is better to work out any issues while I am still in the office, connected to the internal IBM intranet on a high-speed wired connection. Also, I plan to do a Physical-to-Virtual (P-to-V) conversion of my Windows XP C: drive to run as a virtual guest OS on Linux, so I want to make sure the image is in working order before the conversion. That said, here is what my testing encountered.
- Of the 134 applications I had identified as being installed on my old laptop, I determined that I only needed about 70 of them. The others I did not bother to install on the new.
- I had not thought about "addons" and "plugins" that I have that attach themselves inside browsers or other applications. I made sure that Flash, Shockwave and Java worked correctly on all three browsers: IE6, Firefox and Opera.
- One of my "plugins" is an application called [iSpring Pro, which plugs into Microsoft PowerPoint. I thought I had Microsoft Office installed, but found out the standard IBM build had only the viewers. I installed Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition with PowerPoint, Excel and Word. I then realized that I did not have the original V4.3 installation file for iSpring Pro, so I downloaded the latest v5 from their website. However, my license key is only for version 4, so a quick email got this resolved, and the nice folks at iSpring Solutions sent me the v4.3 installation file.
Shameless Plug: We use iSpring Pro to record our voices with PowerPoint slides to generate web videos for the [IBM Virtual Briefing Center] which we use to complement face-to-face briefings. This allows attendees to review introductory materials to prepare for their visit to Tucson, or to stay up-to-date on products and features in between annual visits. If you have not checked out the IBM Virtual Briefing Center, now is a good time to see what videos and other resources we have out there. You can even request to schedule a briefing in Tucson!
- Testing out iSpring Pro, I realized that there are no jacks for my headset. On my old ThinkPad T60, I had two jacks, one green for headphone and one pink for microphone. My headset has two cables, one for each, which I then use for the recordings. I also use this for online webinars and training sessions. Apparently, ThinkPad T410 went for a single 3.5mm "Combo" audio jack that handles both roles. Fortunately, there is a [Headset Buddy] adapter that merges the two cables from my headset to the combo jack on my new laptop. I ordered one which will arrive some time next week.
- My new laptop doesn't fit my old docking station either. I had set the docking station aside while I had the two laptops latched together for the file transfers, but now that I am done with the old laptop, I discovered that my new T410 doesn't fit. I ordered a new one.
- Using find, grep, awk, sort and uniq, I was able to generate a list of all the file extensions on my Documents foler. I was able to find old Lotus 123, Freelance Graphics, and Wordpro files. I thought Lotus Symphony would handle these, but it does not. I was able to install an old version of Lotus Smartsuite that includes these programs so that I can process these files.
- I also found in the extensions list pptx, docx and xlsx files, which represent the new Microsoft Office 2007 formats. I installed the "Format Compatability Pack" that allows Office 2003 read these files.
- Lastly, I installed a few programs that support a wide variety of file formats. VideoLAN's [VLC] plays a variety of audio and video files. [7-Zip] packs and unpacks a variety of archive files. (Note: Another program, BitZipper, also supports a variety of archive formats, but the install will corrupt your Firefox and IE browsers with new tool bars, change your search engine default, and install a lot of other unwanted software. Cleaning up the mess can be time-consuming. You have been warned!) I also installed [MadEdit], a binary/hex/text editor that will open any file to see what kind of format it has inside. From this, I was able to determine that some of my extension-less files were GIF, RTF or PDF format, and rename them accordingly.
With the testing done, I am ready to go wipe my old system of all passwords and data!

About the Author: Ryan M. Miller serves as an India Desk Officer in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.
On June 9, an enthusiastic crowd of over 225 scholars, business leaders, and innovators descended upon the Hyatt Capitol Hill Hotel to attend the first day of the IIT-Kanpur Golden Jubilee Alumni Convention. The theme of the convention, "U.S.-India Collaboration: KIAP and Beyond," was an homage to the legendary USAID-sponsored educational exchange program -- the Kanpur Indo-American Program -- that from 1962-1972 sent heralded scholars from the United States to serve as visiting professors and mentors in India.
The opening night featured a series of speeches and discussions. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton provided recorded video remarks and Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Robert O. Blake delivered a well-received motivational speech about U.S.-India Strategic Cooperation. On education cooperation, Assistant Secretary Blake noted not only the importance of honoring the KIAP program, which he called, "one of the most significant success stories in the rich history of bilateral higher education exchange programs between the United States and India," but also the need for the State Department to solicit and seek new ideas for bilateral higher education cooperation from the IIT-Kanpur alumni leaders that were in attendance.
By the end of the Assistant Secretary's remarks, the crowd was enthused. One of the IIT-Kanpur alumnus, who is a private sector CEO for a U.S. company, noted after the speech, "We must build stronger, better U.S.-India education partnerships in the 21st century -- and I know now it completely possible."Related Content: Celebrating the Legacy of U.S.-India Education Cooperation
O.C. in the U.S.A. writes:
People from India excell at math and science related topics because they meet these subjects head on in school. We waste so much time in American schools with superfluous subjects that do nothing to increase problem solving. The school curriculum is cut up into 30 minute sound bites. Problem solving takes hours and hours of tedious work. The government should stop politicizing education and make a commitment to get back to basic problem solving. If we emphasize math and science, children will do it and learn to love it. America always has a back door escape hatch they need to permanently close.
Many people have cheated to get into their positions and they are unqualified. These trapdoors need to be permanently sealed shut.

Is there a particular blend and ratio of mozzarella cheese(s) that you would like me to try?
docked it lightly on the top side [...] The only difference noted by anyone was that they weren't quite as 'fluffy' (this being due to the fact that I didn't let the dough sit in a walk-in cooler for a day or two I'm thinking).
How about 2/3 Whole Milk Mozzarella and 1/3 Low Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella. That would match the characteristics of the cheese according to the Papa John's nutrition information.
The only difference noted by anyone was that they weren't quite as 'fluffy'
By "whole milk" mozzarella, I assume you mean the fresh whole-milk mozzarella rather than the low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella. Is that right? I knows that Wal-Mart sells what I believe to be a whole-milk mozzarella but it is very hard to dice because it is so wet.
From my personal observation, and also in videos I have viewed, Papa John's aggressively docks their doughs.
Have you seen them specifically dock the breadsticks? A whole pizza makes sense from a bubbling perspective, but breadsticks are so narrow I don't see why anyone would waste their time, or a company's dime for that time. The cutting action for making breadsticks should be sufficient.
What I found most interesting in both cases is that the docking is done before slapping and stretching and tossing, not just before dressing, which is where I have used it to reduce the likelihood of bubbling. That made me wonder whether the docking is to help open up the dough more easily by doing something to the gluten structure.
#6. Dough = 21.00 oz., 8.00 oz diced mozzarella cheese, sauce = 6.0 fl oz, loss during baking = ?%
Just another comment: A large pizza (14") dough is the exact same as an order of breadsticks (assuming they don't cut off the tips of the breadsticks after docking them).

Michelle Kasold -"American Reunion in Amsterdam!"
There are quite a few American's playing over in Europe this year, and I have gotten a chance to see most of those that are in Holland. A few of the men's players are in Belgium (Jon Ginolfi, Kevin Barber, and Will Holt) and as you already know (by following the other blogs!!) Katie Evans is in England. This weekend we decided to all meet up in Amsterdam!
...but first I had a game on Sunday against Rotterdam! Our team had been building a lot for this game and with the Kiwis back, we had new motivation and firepower and wanted to leave it all on our home pitch. I was particularly excited to play Rotterdam because Chilean National Team player Paula Infante plays there and I couldn't wait to take her on again! (She played at the University of Maryland while I was at Wake Forest so I've played against her a lot in the past). It was nice also to see another familiar face!
We came out firing and played one of our best halves of hockey in the first half of the game. We took the lead late in the first half off a counter attack goal, but unfortunately gave up a goal with no time left on the clock on a corner. Although we were tied at the half, we knew we had the game within our grasp. We came out even harder in the second half, but Rotterdam quickly capitalized on a chance early forcing us to fight from behind. Shortly thereafter we found the back of the boards on a corner of our own. With the momentum in our favor, we continued to create chances and put pressure on their defense. With minutes left in the game, we scored, but the officials called it back saying it hit a foot (which of course we didn't agree with!!). A bit of an unlucky break! Although we fought hard and put some good passages of hockey together, we ran out of time before we could add another to the scoreline. Even though a draw is not what we had hoped for, we did get our first point moving us up a few spots in the standings, and it was a big step in the right direction. The season is long and we just need to keep moving forward!
Most of our team decided we should celebrate our first point because it was hard to come by! We went over to a neighboring club (KZ) for a bit because they had a DJ and were hosting a party for the evening. I didn't stay too long though because I had to meet up with the Americans!!! When I got to Amsterdam, Katie, Jon, Kevin, Will, Pat (Harris), Colin (Scally), Lauren (Powley) and Maureen (Daniel) were already there! It was so amazing to see all of us in one place! Pretty cool to all meet up together overseas and catch up on all of our experiences so far! I definitely enjoyed having all English speaking people around for one night as well!! I had to head back early Monday morning, but the others got to spend Monday in Amsterdam! What fun!! :)
... Katie will have a great video coming soon of the weekend!
This weekend is the opening weekend for the EHL (European Hockey League) and the first round is being hosted at Oranje-Zwart in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. For those of you unfamiliar with the EHL, it consists of the top teams from different European countries. This year's league has 3 teams from Holland, including the men's side from my club, HGC! HGC is also fortunate enough to have their first round games at OZ, so they have somewhat of a home field/home crowd advantage.
Although all the games can be viewed online as well as on television here, I jumped at the opportunity to go see the games live, and of course support HGC! Yesterday I took the 2 hour trip down to Eindhoven with a teammate and our coach and watched HGC blow out a team from the Ukraine, Olimpia Kolos Sekvoia, 9-2. Although not the best game since it was so lopsided, it was still fun to watch our guys score lots of goals! I would love to watch them play again today, but we have our own game at home against Rotterdam!
Hup HGC!
Corner for HGC:
The Kiwis are Back!!
After much anticipation, I walked into the lockerroom tonight to see the two legendary Kiwis, Krystal Forgesson and Emily Naylor, fresh off their Silver Medal performance at the Commonwealth Games. First, I must say congrats to both of them!! Well done girls! I was excited to finally meet the girls I have heard much about over the past few weeks. Only their first day back and I could already see their impact as my teammates began to trickle into the lockerroom. Everyone was excited to see them and I could tell they play a big role in the team. This made me excited as well, knowing that we finally have our full team together for the season!
Although I'm sure they were jetlagged and exhausted from a hard fought tournament down in Delhi, India, of course they still wanted to practice! Emily is a defender/midfielder and Krystal is a striker. Both are very skilled, smart players. I could already see the positive impact they brought even to just one practice.
I hope this is the extra spark that will ignite our team to finally get in the win column this weekend. Another home game with the crowd behind us and our team at full strength, Rotterdam better be ready for all HGC has to throw at them on Sunday!

In this concise, information-packed book, Rose shares her knowledge, and passion for her heritage, along with practical strategies for applying the celebrated concepts of Cretan cuisine, wherever you live. Rose has received numerous awards from National Geographic, the United Nations and many other organizations for her success in creating sustainable travel/community-based tourism and culinary projects that bring focus to the expanding inquiry into sustainability. Proceeds from this book benefit ongoing CCS initiatives.
This is one of the best books on the Mediterranean Diet that I have come across. Taken from the way the people of Crete (the healthiest in the world) have eaten for centuries Nikki provides you with all the practical information you need to eat for optimal health. She shares with you how to prepare vegetables, fish, chicken, beans, soups, and stews the delicious Greek way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their health while experiencing all the joys of Mediterranean eating.
-- George Mateljan, Philanthropist
Award-winning author of the World's Healthiest Foods
Much has been written about the Mediterranean diet, but Nikki Rose's little book just might be my favorite. It is so to the point, so clear, so accessible and of course, so delicious if you cook from it. It really shows that you don't need a thousand recipes or an entire day in the kitchen to eat well and with great pleasure. That the pictures include people, plants, and vistas as well as cooked dishes shows that this is about a way of life, not just about recipes. As it should be. And I love that it includes chapters devoted to kids and to Lenten dishes, as well as wine and more. I'm impressed that Nikki Rose could say so much in so few pages!
--Deborah Madison, chef and author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and 10 other books.
Many tout the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet but with little cultural context for the rich milieu in which the diet and its benefits are enjoyed. And enjoyed is the fitting term. As Nikki Rose shows in this slim but rich book, the people, the land and its flavors
are inextricably linked. As cooks, gardeners, and consumers we have much to learn. Lushly illustrated, with attention given to the foods, recipes, characters, and traditions of the island in digestible snippets, this is the cultural study of food and nutrition as it should be done.
-- Jonathan Deutsch, Ph.D.
Professor, Culinary Arts, Kingsborough Community College, CUNY
Public Health, CUNY Graduate Center
As a whole foods chef steeped in the belief that traditional foods are life sustaining and need to be part of our daily diet, Nikki's book is one of my most coveted resources. Having been on several of her food seminars, I can attest, that what she presents, shares and teaches in her book is as if I were back with her, on the Island of Crete. If, as we are now beginning to appreciate that health supportive foods begins with good ingredients, but also includes the life sustaining cultural practices which accompany such foods, then Nikki's book introduces those necessary backstories. All I can say is come and learn how to cook the traditional Mediterranean diet from Nikki and her friends on Crete.
-- Beth Kersey, Alaska Food Sovereignty and Edible Landscapes
and Alaska Seed Savers and Traditional Foods Project
The "return to basics" exhortation of many culinarians may very well start with the age-old food traditions of Crete. Nikki Rose's creation, featuring simple Mediterranean recipes, makes this even more relevant to our times.
-- Lina Romasanta
hospitality industry consultant/food and beverage specialist

Product Description
The new Mako™ Series packs a serious punch with a four light line up. These commuter lights span the range from "be seen" lights to the powerful Mako™ 2 Watt pumping out 130 lumens and helmet mountable. Our favorite feature is the side "gills" emit a red light, which not only looks cool, but makes the Makos more visible.

While taking with a chef this morning, he recommended a book that is in most chef libraries. The book is called "The Flavor Bible". I was wondering if anyone else has read through this book and if they found it helpful in the area of pizza sauce, pizza making, etc... Thanks for any feedback.TomNthe Amazon link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316118400/?tag=pmak-20

Kewaunee plant closure could cost nearly $1B
All buildings on 900-acre site will be torn down
KEWAUNEE, Wis. - The Kewaunee Power Station is scheduled to stop generating electricity next month -- a move that's expected to result in the loss of hundreds of jobs, and could cost nearly $1 billion.
Dominion Resources spokesman Mark Kanz told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the company is going to start decommissioning the nuclear reactor, and has 60 years to clean up the site and turn it into a "greenfield site."
As part of the decommissioning, all buildings on the 900-acre site east of Green Bay will be torn down and low-level radioactive waste will be shipped out of state. Concrete casks that hold high-level radioactive waste will stay on the site for years.
Dominion plans to start shipping those casks from the site in 2021.

True View. Very scarce in all grades, R4.2.
David Akers: In my estimation, this is one of the most underrated issues in this series. Mintage figures give no indication whatsoever of its true rarity since 2,278,000 pieces were struck, hardly a low figure. However, in any mint state grade, a 1903 Barber Half Dollar is very scarce, if not rare, and of the relatively few known mint state specimens, only a handful could legitimately be termed Gems. The 1903 is considerably more rare than most of the popular and highly regarded mintmarked issues of the 1890's, and it is also the rarest of the three issues of 1903, a fact which may surprise all but the serious student of this wonderful series

Making pizzas as a tax shelter
October 25, 2005, 02:35:18 PM »
Please check with your tax advisor before following any tax advice. This is not professional tax advise this is only something I saw on the web.
Ok now that i've said that this is what I have learned. Making pizzas as a hobby is expensive. I can't imagine how much some of you professionals spend on Mozzarella alone. I dream of opening a pizza parlor some day so my ultimate goal is to become a business owner and obviously make a profit. What most consider as a hobby I think of it as research and development.
This tax shelter idea is from MSN Money. The link is below
This is not the very tired idea of taxes being unconstitutional, but a legitimate way of expensing your hobby as a business. I have ran this by a tax "professional" who states this is legitimate, but various rules must be followed.
I have not did this yet, but plan on researching more and filing for a business name and getting necessary licenses.
I do not profess to know all tax laws and do not encourage anyone from doing this before they check with their local tax advisor.
Is anyone doing this currently?

Be very careful. If you are running a LEGITIMATE business, then go for it. However, if you have no business plan (to show a profit motive), then expect the IRS to get crabby. Yes, the article states that a business won as being a business in a lawsuit with the IRS, but it didn't say how much the lawsuit part cost.
So, let's look at realistic issues.
1.) Pizzamaking.com -- a legitimate business. It sells ads, or should at least hope to be able to.
2.) I make pizza in my kitchen. Nope. First, let's say the IRS lets you get away with being a business.... now they call the health dept. Your truckload of red tape just got delivered -- postage due.
Interestingly enough, if your hobby has a net profit, it's automatically a business and the IRS wants their chunk.

Of course you can always discuss the matter with your IRS auditor over a few slices of freshly baked pizza.

This may sound pretty "crabby", maybe "crappy", but this suggestion has struck me as wrongheaded on several counts. None of like paying taxes, that is for sure. There are also credible ways to reduce or defer taxes. But with this Country's recent disasters, Iraqi war (where many of our troops have been in harms way without proper gear or armor), a lack of health care for the poor and other woes, figuring out how to make a pizza and call it a tax deduction has me shaking my head. I don't think "dreaming of owning a pizza shop" should really let someone off of paying their fair share of taxes. If it were me, I would find a cheaper hobby, buy cheaper mozzeralla or pay my taxes and give thanks for living in a country that lets us dream of opening up pizza shops. Then again, maybe I should just take a nice two week trip to Naples with my wife, visit a new pizzeria every day and claim a nice deduction to boot as I , too, "dream" of owning a little pizza shop. Let someone else fund the cost to live here.
Just my two cents.

jimd/Snowman - Very good advice that anyone thinking of doing this should consider
jimd - True, someone who is just dreaming should not dream for the sole purpose of a tax deduction. I wish our congressmen held the same ideals as you (one less bridge in Alaska could pay for a lot of body armor).
That being said, if you are truly planning(not just dreaming) on starting a pizza business, than you better be smart about spending money. Not claiming all your LEGITIMATE deductions is either great charity or not very business savvy, or both.
As Snowman stated if you start selling pizzas out of your house the health department will definately want to see you food retailer/food handlers permit. Although, if your currently only making pizzas in your house as research (getting your dough/sauce recipe perfect) you will not have to pass all the health regulations as you will when you actually sell your pizza to the public.
With any new company/product there is a lot of legitimate business that occurs before your first "model" arrives on the store shelves. So if you truly plan on starting a business and are in the beginning stages of perfecting your model don't forget about the legitimate tax deductions that are available.
jimd your "two cents" are appreciated and a good thing to consider before anyone takes any "business" deductions

I would open up an arcade or a laundromat instead, coin operated machines aren't accounted for, so that makes small time money laundering a lot easier.

I have had a home based transcription service in my home since 1987. Even though I have been legally able to, I have never claimed the home deduction. What I receive in tax savings is not worth it because the percentage you get to write off of your home each year, you have to pay back if/when you sell your home. So if you have a small house payment, which I do, and I live in a high resell area, which I do since I live in California, I would be losing thousands of dollars if I sold my home. So the few hundred dollars I would save on my taxes each year is not worth it.

I was once a business owner, did everything by the IRS book, 1 time I paid 1000 dollars more then I needed too on one tax then fell short 53 dollars on another tax that same month. Of Course the IRS fined me for being short 53 dollars and kept my 1000 over payment with out a refund. I now make more money working for a corporation then I did my own business because I didn't know the real world rules of running a business. I plan on getting a side business to supplement my income now, and when I do it will be different.
You need to milk every penny out of the business, If you don't, you will NEVER be successful!!
Now what this guy mentions on money central, You can take it this way, don't go in the food service business,
you have to get food permitts
Use the food you buy as dinning expenses as long as you have 2 people you are entertaining for business purposes.
Buy your ingredients: 50# of flour, 10 gallons of sauce, 20# of cheese whatever, because you want to entertain lots of potential customers for a product (non food)
Invite two friends over, talk to them about buying swamp land.
Bummer no sale!!
But you can then write off the pizza's you made,
What about the left over ingredients? Well that's for the future investors
but wait the food must have spoiled bummer, A tax Right off yes!
To bad you really used the left over ingredients for your family pizza's for the year!!
Now, one thing you have to do is make a profit with in 3 years or your business may lose it's corporation.
So find something, make an ebay company, but buy all your food, toilet products everything you can think of
through your company.
Myself I would love to get a non profit business license,
Those type of business make the most money!! Sure no corporate profit, easy to make that happen. It's called salary bonuses!!

Topic: Basic test that is failing, probably something simple
I have a test that I can't get to pass and since I am new to TDD I really am not sure of my options on how to get it passing. In basic english. I have a project and a todo_item. todo_item belong to projects, projects have many todo_items. When I update a todo_item it should redirect to its project page. Simple enough. Here is the test:
it "update action should redirect when model is valid" do
todo = TodoItem.first
put :update, :id => todo
response.should redirect_to(project_url(todo.project))
The failure message is:
TodoItemsController update action should redirect when model is valid
Failure/Error: put :update, :id => todo
No route matches {:controller=>"todo_items", :action=>"update", :id=>nil}
# ./spec/controllers/todo_items_controller_spec.rb:61
Now when I run through the browser it works just fine, so I am fairly sure its not the app code. No TodoItems are getting created so TodoItem.first never finds I record. I dont think that I have anything overly complicated, but I just cant get it work no matter what I try. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Luciana mad our stay in Rio so pleasant. Not only worked everything totally fine with the apartment, but she also helped us out with everything else. She gave us a list of recommendations and was always willing to answer questions about restaurants, bars, things to do and so on. Whenever we had a question concerning the apartment or anything else, Luciana was ready to help us out. This is a service you won't get in a hotel!!!
Also, on a very short notice, we arrived one day earlier. This was not a problem at all! So she was very flexible in adjusting our stay at her place.
We've bin in Lucianas appartment this summer and it was great. It's a nice place near Copacabana-beach (1min walk) and near shops, taxi en busstops (3min). At the corner of the building you can rent bikes, thats awesome! The appartment is in a nice and quiet building with its own doorman. The appartment has a nice and clean kitchen and bathroom.
Luciana is a very nice person who wants to help you if there are any questions about how to get somewere in the city or about the habits of brazilians for example. She speaks English very well.
We had a great time in Rio and can recommend this appartment to everybody!
Great location in Rio. One block away from the beach. Close to all the sights. Good restaurants nearby Luciana very friendly and helpful
Had great time
In a word - Fantastic! This apartment is perfect for those wanting to be close to Copacabana beach whilst also enjoying the local bars and restaurants. The apartment is small but more than adequate for a weeks stay in Rio. It has everything you need, its clean and furnished in a rather modern style. Lucinana couldn't have been more helpful. She was a wonderful host! Always ready to answer my questions, offer advice on bus routes, restaurants, taxi prices and other things. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to someone wanting a great base from which to explore Rio.
we had a great stay at lucianas appartment. The location was perfect, a block from copacabana and restaurants, supermarkets and shops right on your doorstep. Luciana was an exceptional host and welcomed us with everything we needed. We had an issue with the shower not heating up but Luciana fixed it as soon as poissible and was very concerned about the situation. The appartment had everything you need and is small but cosy and very new and clean.
Thanks for making our visit to Copacabana such a great experience Luciana

Be careful with Bible study
To the editor:
A recent letter writer to the Mining Gazette suggested that everyone should read the Bible from beginning to end. Yes, one might start by reading for an hour each day until finished, but a person would quickly find that 70 percent of the Bible is the most boring writing that one could ever read – slightly better than reading the Detroit phone book from cover to cover.
If this book is supposed to be the inspired (infallible to some people) words of some deity, surely it could have been written in a more interesting manner. Instead it is a jumble of history, mythology, sex, scatology, polygamy, slavery, cruelty, torture, genocide, wars, judgments, admonitions, threats, platitudes, proverb and beatitudes. Much of the violence was aided, abetted, and approved by the deity depicted there. Some parts are inspiring, but other parts are not worthy of any consideration, and there are passages that you definitely would not want your young children to read.
After writing was invented and improved, people fell in love with this means of communication and claimed that it was used by some deity to give information to human beings. If the Bible is meant to describe a religion for all humankind, then why was it revealed to an illiterate tribe in a remote area of the world when millions of people were living in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas? What was the purpose of life for these people and the millions that lived and died before the invention of writing? There are fundamentalist dominionists that seek to have the United States governed by this injudicious collection of superstitious writings. Unbelievably, many of these people have been elected to public office.
Since the Judeo/Christian theology has permeated and influenced Western civilization for a few thousand years, one should be acquainted with its scriptures.
If a person wants to really study the Bible, one should avoid the common Bible study groups that are usually nothing more than indoctrination sessions into a particular belief system.
A person should start by reading scholarly books by highly educated professors and theologians written with information on the formation of the canon; why some writings were included and some rejected; what ancient sources contributed to the writings; how translations can vary and the existence of scribal errors.
Needless to say, one should avoid the anti-intellectual and anti-factual tomes written by unqualified authors with an agenda.
