Topic: Long time user of InstantRails...now for some reason it died??
I've been using InstantRails (now 1.7) for many months and have loved in concert with RadRails.
I was unable to get my ActionMailer to actually send the emails and read on the forums about a free SMPT server of which I installed (and then uninstalled as it made no difference).
Tragically, this killed the server processes in my InstantRails. I have tried to install/uninstall now about 10 times on TWO separate Windows XP R2 machines and the exact same behaviour. The InstantRails just hangs on the "starting servers" message and although the green lights come on it won't go?
Has anyone thoughts on this matter..I am absolutely fouled and can't take a step on my projects now.
Thank you for any help...

Whipped this together tonight. Came out really good. Very easy, bout 20 min to throw together.
1. Heat a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil on high for 1 min, add about 10 cloves of fresh chopped garlic and some of those red chiles that you use to season food, but really shouldn't eat.
2. Take a 1 lb pork tenderloin and cut it into thin strips. Add to the oil/garlic/chiles mix after they have cooked together for a couple minutes. Keep the heat at high.
3. When the pork is cooked (5 min or so), add some shredded carrots, broccoli florets, and green onions.
4. Season with some salt and pepper. Cook another 5-6 min or so.
5. Remove from heat. Toss with about 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Serve over white rice.

The obesity epidemic is a focal point for many government and social programs. While children and adults are often at the center of discussions on the matter, there may be one demographic that is overlooked - pets.
A recent poll conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) found that around 53 percent of pet cats and 55 percent of pet dogs in the U.S. are considered obese.
"This is troubling, because it means more pets will be affected by weight-related diseases, such as arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease, costing pet owners millions in avoidable medical costs," said founder of APOP Dr. Ernie Ward.
A recent article in The Vancouver Sun suggests that pet parents monitor not only what their dog or cat is eating, but also the quantity of food they take in on a daily basis. Remember to take into account bread scraps, treats and biscuits in addition to their regular pet food.
Pet parents who are concerned for their pets' health should contact a VCA veterinarian for a consultation. Medical experts can help you develop an appropriate exercise plan and diet for your animal companion. Just as there is a variety of low-fat, healthful foods for humans, there are many products available that are geared to help pets lose weight and stay fit.

Tequila-Lime Chicken with Cilantro Dressing
Recipe courtesy of The Tribeca Grill Cookbook by Don Pintabona
- 3/4 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- Juice of 3 limes
- 1/2 cup Lemon Oil (see Note)
- 5 large shallots, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro plus 1 large bunch cilantro, leaves only
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of all fat
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup canola oil
If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least an hour.
In a small nonreactive container, combine 1/2 cup of the tequila with the vinegar and lime juice. Whisk in the Lemon Oil. When well emulsified, stir in the shallots, chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic. Pour into a nonreactive, shallow container large enough to hold the prepared skewers. Set aside.
Using a very sharp knife, slice the chicken into 30 strips about 1/4-inch thick and 2 inches long. Thread the strips onto the soaked skewers and place them into the marinade, leaving as much of the skewer exposed as possible as you do not want the wood to soak up the marinade. Cover and marinate for 8 hours.
Place the cilantro leaves in a saucepan of rapidly boiling salted water for 10 seconds to blanch and set the color. Immediately pat dry and refresh under cold water. Drain very well and pat dry.
Place the blanched cilantro in a blender with the remaining 1/4 cup of tequila and 1 teaspoon of garlic. Pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly add the canola oil, processing until the mixture is thick and bright green. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
When ready to serve, remove the skeweres from the marinade. Place a stovetop griddle, heavy-duty grill pan, or nonsick saute pan over high heat. When very hot but not smoking, add the skewers, a few at a time, and sear for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side or until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through. Serve immediately with the Cilantro Dressing on the side.
NOTE: To make Lemon Oil, combine 2 cups of vegetable oil with the shells of 4 lemons that have already been juiced and a few sprigs of fresh thyme in a heavy saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately lower the heat and barely simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain into a clean container. Cover and store in a cool spot for up to 6 months. Use the oil for sauteing, frying, and for vinaigrettes.

text: Feature Requests item #8139, was opened at 2007-01-25 06:28 You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=3152&aid=8139&group_id=797 Category: runner module Group: None Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: David Chelimsky (dchelimsky) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: "not implemented" message for specs yet to be implemented Initial Comment: If I am defining the behaviour of a class, I might make a list like this: Money behaviour: - should parse - should add - should subtract - should multiply - should handle division by 0 - should handle conversion I may not know what all of those mean yet, but that is a starting point. I'd like to be able to put that right into specs and have RSpec tell me that I have yet to implement them: context "Money behaviour" do specify "should parse" specify "should add" specify "should subtract" specify "should multiply" specify "should handle division by 0" specify "should handle conversion" end Note that each specify message has no block. Given some command line option, RSpec would collect these during a spec run and add the count to the summary: ===== Finished in 3.212354 seconds 647 specifications, 0 failures, 25 not yet implemented ===== Combined with the --format specdoc (or -fs) option, the report would look like this: ===== Money behaviour: - should parse - should add - should subtract - should multiply - should handle division by 0 (NOT IMPLEMENTED - should handle conversion (NOT IMPLEMENTED) Finished in 0.212354 seconds 6 specifications, 0 failures, 2 not yet implemented ===== This would a great aid in monitoring progress during an iteration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chad Humphries (spicycode) Date: 2007-05-18 19:59 Message: Related to patch #10920 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ashley Moran (ashley_moran) Date: 2007-02-26 09:53 Message: David, I like that - it puts all the ideas in one consistent way. Not implemented would definitely be best for a spec with no block. Being a TextMate whore, I'm interested to know what the HTML output should be like. (I live off command-R .) I think for the individual specs, fail->red, pass->green, needs fixing->orange, not implemented->blue would be helpful. What I'm not sure about is whether the presence of a "not implemented" or "needs fixing" spec should constitute a failure of the whole spec file. Possibly something like this would help: specify "some unimportant features", :state => :needs_fixing, :blocker => false do # some failing specs end Not sure if this is over-engineering or not - it might be useful for continous integration (we we sadly don't use yet for rails) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Chelimsky (dchelimsky) Date: 2007-02-26 07:48 Message: Sorry - "not implemented" when there is no block or state specified (not "fail"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Chelimsky (dchelimsky) Date: 2007-02-26 07:47 Message: Ashley - between your suggestion of 4 states and Yurii's specify_negatively, I think perhaps something like this might work: specify "description", :state => state Where, for now, state could be any of the 4 you suggested. Also, the default state would be "pass" when there is a block (but no state submitted) and "fail" when there is no block (and no state submitted). WDYT? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ashley Moran (ashley_moran) Date: 2007-02-26 07:07 Message: I'd really like this feature. I sometimes get into a situation where I need to leave failing specs and work on something else, and the noise is distracting. I'm tempted to suggest that 4 statuses would be useful: pass, fail, not yet implemented, needs fixing. I don't know if that would be a good idea, or over-complex. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ian Dees (undees) Date: 2007-01-28 17:48 Message: At work, we have a tool that generates context/specify blocks from our test case descriptions. Here's what we use: 1) A NonImplementedTest class with an "implemented?" method returning false. 2) A module-level this_test method returning an instance of NonImplementedTest. So our tool can generate blocks that look like this: context "A widget" do specify "should foobar the frobnitz" do # Text from test case: # 1) Click the widget button. # 2) Make sure the frobnitz is foobar'ed. this_test.should_be_implemented end end That way, we start off red until all the tests are implemented and the software passes them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brian Takita (btakita) Date: 2007-01-27 23:41 Message: This looks like a good feature. I like the idea of being able to specify what the software is supposed to do before implementing it. The specify method without a block transition s naturally to implementing a full spec. I remember the conclusion of the other feature request was to use a TODO statement, which in my opinion in not very semantic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Wilson Bilkovich (wilson) Date: 2007-01-26 19:12 Message: Hi David, I was just giving you a hard time. I remain highly in favor of this feature. I would be happy to help implement it, and/or stuff people who don't like it into trashcans at RailsConf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Chelimsky (dchelimsky) Date: 2007-01-26 06:29 Message: Hi Wilson, Funny - I forgot about that. OK - first of all these requests aren't the same. What [#6396] is asking for is a way to stop code from being executed using a keyword disable_specify. What I'm proposing here is different. It's a non-code place-holder right in the spec so I don't have to keep it elsewhere. Now, reading through the comments on that thread, I see that this idea was already proposed (by me, as it turns out - I'm a bit too young for senility - perhaps a vacation is in order), however even in that proposal I was talking about a special keyword. This proposal is a little different. It lets me do the same thing but with something that feels more integrated to me - it's the same keyword (specify), and it is noted as something different only by the absence of the block. So to resolve the un-implemented specs I have to add a block and add code, not change keywords. I guess you could argue that the keyword would make things more obvious when looking at the code, but if we're adding keywords I'd rather have them be more aligned w/ the BDD message - things like "story" and "behaviour". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Wilson Bilkovich (wilson) Date: 2007-01-26 01:32 Message: Duplicate? :) http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6396&group_id=797&atid=3152 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=3152&aid=8139&group_id=797

It's actually Banana Walnut Bread with Dark Chocolate (thanks Dawn). This is the third time I've baked this banana bread within two weeks. The first time I made it, the banana bread was falling apart when I sliced it. I think I was too excited to slice it I forgot I have to let it cool down completely. Actually, it wasn't bad at all. I just allowed the rest of the bread to cool down. But I don't think I have the camera at that time. The second time, the camera battery ran out in the middle of my preparation. Since I already have my butter melted, the bananas mashed and my dried ingredients combined, I decided to proceed anyway. I could smell the sweet smelling aroma of cinnamon and banana from the other room and after the baking time, I did allow it to cool down. I'm good in waiting. I've been waiting my whole life. So, I waited, waited and waited and the banana bread was almost perfect if only I waited just a little bit longer. It was still very warm on the inside. So, let it cool in the pan completely before removing from the pan.
So, here it is again, after making it the third time, and voila, my banana walnut bread. But this time, I have help from my 5-year old nephew Joshua who started to love baking. So, while the banana is in the oven, he kept on asking me "Is the banana bread ready yet?" Even after the cooling process, he would ask the same question over and over again. "Is the banana bread ready yet?" "No." "Is the banana bread ready yet?" "No." "Is the banana bread ready yet?" "No." I think you can relate.
I substituted two ingredients: the flour and the sugar. Although my goal is not to increase the fiber content and reduce the sugar of a baked item, it is still a good idea. I just find that using whole wheat pastry flour and deep-colored, caramel-like muscovado sugar gives this banana bread a more flavorful and aromatic result. And let's face it, we do have a widespread of diabetic people all over the world and they are increasing every year. My twelve year old nephew has a sweet tooth (isn't everybody?) and he serves this banana bread with condensed milk. Well, it's not as sweet as compared to other banana bread but its sweet enough to satisfy your sugar cravings and enough glucose to reach your brain. But I do have a confession to make. I did have a donut and a coffee bun yesterday afternoon. Well, someone bought it for me so I accepted it. And that someone is my mom. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only holistic nutritionist who eats this way. Besides, I'm not allowed to have my own private practice here as being a Registered Holistic Nutritionist approved by a Canadian school is not regulated in the Philippines. But, if I am living in Canada, then I could practice. But I know I need to be a living example to other people too.
For the walnuts, I made an effort to remove the skin after roasting it but you don't have to do it. I find the papery-skin, most especially the thicker ones to be disturbing. I gently rubbed it off with my fingers that were easy to peel but just left the other walnut skin that doesn't want to come off.
Do you know anyone who doesn't like chocolate? I think I do. I just can't remember the person. It's good with or without the chocolate but I don't think it's the same without it. I didn't include chocolate when I first submitted this recipe to Rouxbe Online Cooking School. I'm using dark chocolate bar for this recipe. I added about 75-100 grams. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips but I always like using dark. Seventy percent cocoa solids is good enough instead of the really bitter ninety percent from Madagascar.
The recipe states 1/2 cup yogurt but yesterday I used about 3/4 cup just because I'm using a different brand of whole wheat pastry flour with a higher protein content. It would still do well with 1/2 cup but I wanted a moist result.
Well, my nephew had his banana bread on the same day. It was worth the wait for him most especially with chocolates added to it and before he left, he asked me if we could bake a chocolate cake one of these days.
Here's the recipe for the Banana Walnut Bread. Enjoy.

I think most logical people would choose SED drives if they had the choice. All other protection mechanisms like what Tim is stating still apply.
You seem to imply that data encryption at rest is "big whoopee", and would rather leave data at rest UNENCRYPTED.
Hope you don't get PCI audited one of these days :-)

Subject: RE: Security and SSD
Yes there are a lot of vendors selling software based solutions to encrypt your data at rest. However we're talking about two different things here.
One, querying your data from your applications.
Two, being able to use tools to read the disk, even from from another OS, to see the data (like after a disk sell after an upgrade or whatever)
Keep in mind that if you are using 24 disks your data may be spread across all 24. To go "NCIS" on them and read the data from disk independent of the OS, and read the entire data file would require that you can once again string all the drives together. Now, due to blocking, you may be able to get small snippets from a drive here and a drive there. One row from one table may fit into that same block and all be on one drive. And if that row contains your name, SSN, etc, I can understand how you may be concerned. Encryption would help.
But as far as encryption from your applications, that's another matter. I suspect that many people are bombarded from 'regulatory agencies' and other do-gooders who insist upon encryption. So, you use some built in disk encryption tool and, yes, your data at rest is encrypted. Big whoopie. Someone runs this:
select name, mothersmaidenname, ssn, yearlysalary, creditcardnumber from myfile and the hardware disk encryption automatically decrypts it and presents the data.
So, now they go with a more software encryption technique. In which the columns have to be run through something like select name, mothersmaidenname, decrypt(ssn, key), yearlysalary, decrypt(creditcardnumber, key) from myfile (syntax is incomplete, just go with it) so now they need the key. This leaves you with a few choices.
You can bury the key in every application. First person to look at the source now knows the key.
You can externalize the I/O. All the rage from the person who codes externalized I/O. Not so favored by anyone who has to use someone else's externalization routines and can no longer use SQL.
You can create a view that has all the decryption performed automatically.
create view myfileVIEW as (select name, mothersmaidenname, decrypt(ssn, key), yearlysalary, decrypt(creditcardnumber, key) from myfile). So the table is 'encrypted' and now the person can simply do "select name, mothersmaidenname, ssn, yearlysalary, creditcardnumber from myfileVIEW".
Probably gets the regulatory agencies off your back because technically your data is 'encrypted' but is it really that secure?

I'm purely talking data at rest security here.
Lots of vendors out there selling software based solutions to encrypt your
data at rest. My point is, most of them are worthless IMHO with the
advent of hardware level encryption that is built into SED drives.
If I had my choice between NON-SED drives and SED drives (in any
environment, enterprise or otherwise) I would always pick SED drives
wouldn't you?

This is a false sense of security. Data encrypted at rest simply means
that if someone gets their grubby mitts on a device they cannot read it
without first acquiring the key. Something that is good for personal
devices but not necessarily so good for corporate servers. Most corporate
servers have some level of physical security making it a very low odds
item to have hard drives or SSD take a wander.
What sends chills down my spine is people believing that SEDs or
encryption of data at rest somehow protects the data from individuals who
have no business accessing the data. In other words, the data can be
easily read, downloaded, etc. by anyone who can log on to the system.
Which means in many cases, it can be downloaded to the oh so insecure
laptop and ....... well, I think you get the picture.

Estimated grade. Ex. Neil; Mehl (1947) Sold by David Akers Numismatics Oct '97 Price realized $16500
Ron Guth: In a survey of the members of the Liberty Seated Collectors Club, published in the March 2008 issue of the Gobrecht Journal, the 1853-O No Arrows Half Dime was ranked eighth among the Ten Greatest New Orleans Seated Coins: "This is the only collectible 1853 No Arrows coin from the New Orleans mint. It is rare, particularylly in high grade and most of the available pieces have very weak dates. In lower grades the date is often very difficult to read. Even the Eliasberg specimen that was graded MS-64 when it sold at auction in May 1996 had weak digits in the date. None of the 73 respondents placed this issue at the top of their list but 75% of the members placed it among their top ten coins."

Has anyone seen the video Put It There (documentary)? It was made at or during the time the Flowers in the Dirt Album/Concert was going on. Paul was asked how he got the slap/clap sound in the song, and they show him in the studio playing bongo's on his knees. The gang is introduced (Wix, etc.). Does anyone ever suspect the lead guitarist for Crissy Hines was jealous of Paul? The base player played with The Average White Band, ...(I'm probably telling you stuff you already knew).
Anyway, it's a great video, glad I have it.

Oregon Schools, Governments Face Higher Pension Tab
Investment returns have fallen short, so the managers of Oregon's public pension system are turning to schools, cities and counties to make up the difference. Government agencies are expected to find out exactly how much more they'll have to pay toward employee pensions beginning next summer. The $2 billion that public employers are contributing during this two-year budget period is expected to rise by 45 percent, $900 million, in the next.
The local budget decisions that will follow are likely to put new pressure on government services and public workforces that have already shrunken by the Great Recession and its aftermath.

Browsing Romance Languages Theses and Dissertations by Author "Almquist, Karin Marie, 1966-"
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Almquist, Karin Marie, 1966- (University of Oregon, December , 2004)[more][less]Almquist, Karin Marie, 1966- 2009-01-21T23:00:49Z 2009-01-21T23:00:49Z 2004-12 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/8337 x, 215 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: KNIGHT PQ149 .A56 2004 This dissertation project seeks to connect the thematic concerns of Francophone women's post-colonial fiction to broader issues of breaking cycles of violence and resisting the negative effects of globalization. An important part of the study will be a discussion of the historical trend towards the mechanization of nature to account for an ideology of domination that the West has exported to its colonies. Borrowing especially from Carolyn Merchant and the Frankfurt School of critical theorists but also from feminist object relations theorist Jessica Benjamin, I trace masculine culture's will to mastery over a weaker other to a primal fear of chaotic nature and the omnipotent Mother. Violence that is currently directed at nature, women and children, and that is a central theme in the narratives I consider, has a long history. Colonization in all its forms stands out as the main characteristic of this history that will continue to repeat itself if left unexamined. My project demonstrates how these particular post-colonial novels engage with the past in such a way as to diffuse the internal mechanism of abusive power. There are two principle components of this engagement: one is the bringing-to-light of a buried history, personal and collective, that Western, masculine culture strives to repress. The other is the creation of an aesthetic that offers a means to mourn a traumatic past, thereby initiating a process of emotional and social healing. Both phenomena serve as political resistance to a hegemonic system based on denial of loss. In these novels I refer to this aesthetic of mourning as a "feminine symbolic of loss" to distinguish it from a traditional male canon of melancholy literature which instead capitalizes on loss for its own advancement. Their representations of oft-tabooed subjects attest to a refusal to comply with the cultural mandate of silence, driving a wedge into that mechanism of power that perpetuates itself by the disavowal and repression of loss.

James Moore Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services and for the Pacific Gateway and the Vancouver-Whistler Olympics
Mr. Speaker, I can assure my Bloc colleague that our government is fully aware of the situation and that the 2010 Olympic Games will be completely bilingual. I understand his concerns, and I can assure him that we are aware of the concerns he has raised here in the House. The Olympic Games and all of the work the government is doing on this file will be bilingual in acknowledgement of this Canadian reality.

Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, Paris and its francophone partners continue to disagree about the role of the multilateral channel, TV5 Monde. Belgium, like Switzerland yesterday, has threatened to withdraw if France continues with its plan to integrate the francophone television network into the proposed France Monde holding company.
What arguments has the Canadian government expressed to France to ensure that TV5 remains a multilateral tool for the francophonie?

Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Anthony Rota Nipissing—Timiskaming, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario plays a key role in the development and enhancement of Franco-Ontarians throughout the province.
This year alone, funding has been reduced by almost 30%, resulting in the closing of one of its offices in my riding and possibly many other offices across the province.
Why has this Conservative government abandoned Franco-Ontarians?
Franco-Ontarian Association
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting to note that a Liberal member has asked this question because it was the Liberal government that slashed funding for Ontario's francophones. That is very interesting. Could he perhaps tell our government why major cuts were made in funding for linguistic communities?
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, a large portion of the population is aging and needs a greater level of care. We are hearing stories of the difficulties and abuse that seniors can sometimes experience with caregivers and even their own families. We know that the previous Liberal government did absolutely nothing to help vulnerable seniors experiencing the trauma of elder abuse.
Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development tell the House what this government is doing to help seniors who may be struggling with the issue of elder abuse?
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Lynne Yelich Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development
Mr. Speaker, we recognize that seniors built this country and play a vital role in its future. They have a strong voice at the cabinet table. That is why we created a Secretary of State for Seniors and a National Seniors Council.
In budget 2008 we committed $13 million to combat elder abuse. Seniors know we care, but more importantly, they know that the opposition did nothing for 13 years. We did more in 24 months for seniors than the Liberals did in 13 years.
Forestry Industry
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week Kamloops lost 200 jobs when the Weyerhaeuser sawmill closed. Last summer close to 200 jobs were lost when Pope & Talbot closed in Midway. Working families are suffering in the Kootenay Boundary and in Kamloops. Families in Kaslo are also hurting due to the Meadow Creek closure. They still do not know if they qualify for the $1 billion fund.
Can the minister tell the House if the workers from Kamloops, Midway and Kaslo qualify, yes or no? If so, when will he release the funding?
Forestry Industry
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Saanich—Gulf Islands
Gary Lunn Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, in fact, the $1 billion community development trust money for targeting hardships went out to the province to administer these programs. We are delivering for our forest communities. We understand this is a very difficult time for them. We understand it is a difficult time for the sector right across Canada. That is why we are putting these programs in place.
I should also mention the other $400 million that we have already delivered for the forest industry, looking at innovation and new product opportunities. We are working with organizations like the Forest Products Association of Canada.
We are getting the job done. These programs will be delivered to the province in cooperation with it. We are looking forward to those results.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, more and more people in the north are concerned that review boards meant to protect the environment are becoming make work projects for Conservatives.
The most recent example of this patronage was the eleventh hour appointment of the failed Conservative candidate from the last election to the chair of the most important of these environmental protection boards, replacing the longstanding nominated incumbent.
Why is the minister ignoring the spirit and intent of these boards, which is to bring an independent northern voice to environmental assessments, by deciding that the only important qualification for the position is one's history with the Conservative Party?
The Environment

Winnipeg South
Rod Bruinooge Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
Mr. Speaker, all the appointments that we make throughout Canada come from a very talented pool of qualified individuals, and that is the same in this case. Our record on the north is without parallel. Not since the Diefenbaker years has a prime minister focused so much on our northern issues.
In that member's own territory we can look to the Yellowknifer that said that our budget was one of the most progressive for the north in many years. I find it hard to imagine why that member is not supportive of the initiatives we have taken in the north.
Cluster Bombs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada has historically been a leader in advancing peace around the world. This was clear on March 1, 1999, when the eyes of the world were on Canada as the Ottawa convention was reached banning the manufacture and use of landmines.
It is now time to make history again by banning cluster bombs. These are horrible weapons which do not differentiate between civilian and military targets. They injure and kill civilians long after they have been deployed.
When is the government going to show leadership by demanding a ban on the production and use of cluster bombs?
Cluster Bombs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Calgary East
Deepak Obhrai Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and to the Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, I want to assure the hon. member that this government takes the banning of cluster bombs very seriously. We have been working with Norway and our partners to ensure that we can come to a proper resolution. We will continue doing that. I can assure the hon. member that we will be working very hard on that file because we agree with him that the issue of cluster bombs needs to be addressed.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
April 11th, 2008 / 11:55 a.m.
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals talked about the Kelowna accord, but for 13 long years they did nothing for aboriginals except come up with a bogus $5 billion press release in the dying days of their government. This press release, best described as cheap electioneering, had no budget, no specifics, no plan, no nothing.
Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development tell us how Liberal cheap promises, with no delivery, simply do not advance anything first nations really care about?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Winnipeg South
Rod Bruinooge Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
Mr. Speaker, clearly, the Kelowna proposals were nothing more than a press release backed up by false Liberal promises. If the Liberals were serious about these efforts, we would have seen them enact something in their 13 years. Even today, the Montreal Gazette calls the Kelowna proposals exactly the wrong approach to solving problems on reserve.
Clearly, our government has a different approach. We are actually getting things done. That is why we have cut in half the number of communities with high risk drinking water systems. We have resolved a record number of specific claims. We have tabled legislation to reduce the backlog of specific claims and we have paid out $1.2 billion so far in compensation. We are getting the job done.

HORRIBLE! Gives me migraines; painful cap makes it hard to open
Posted by PurplePegasus on May 25, 2009
This is a horrible product. First off the cap has this horrendous grooves that no matter how I try it hurts my fingers bad (and it's already opened but each time it's the same thing). A towel won't grab it to open so opening this is a big production. The contents are horrendous. One drop of this and I have a killer migraine. I wanted it as perfume, I tried it in the milk and same thing. 1 drop smell nauseous. I like the smell of vanilla but this is way too strong and even though I'm not allergic to vanilla and it's supposed to be natural, it triggers my MCS and my body pays dearly. If you have MCS skip this one. If I could I'd give it minus 10 stars! >:(

Swimming is one of the best ways to help your dog cool off in the hot summer months, but you might want to beware of a toxic problem in the water that can affect dogs - algae. Many types of algae are not toxic to dogs, but some are, according to AllPetNews.com.
Red tide is one common example of algae in the water, and cases of another type, blue green algae, have been reported in the Charles River in Boston this summer. It is the algae's first appearance there since 2010.
This type of algae looks like green paint or silly string on the surface of the water, according to Julie Wood, a senior scientist with the Charles River Watershed Association in Massachusetts.
"The river is not closed. People should pretty much use their own discretion, avoid direct contact as much as possible, obviously avoid ingestion, which is a good idea anyway," Wood told the news outlet.
Toxic algae can cause upset stomach, pain and itching in dogs, and can be fatal in some instances. Algae poses a threat when it comes in contact with the animal's skin or when it is ingested. If you or your dog does come into contact with a poisonous algae this summer, officials recommend rinsing off immediately.
If you are wondering whether algae will be a problem in the lakes, ponds and streams in you area this summer, ask your veterinarian if they have heard of any cases. It may not be an issue at all for your region.

Paris Deploys Point Merge Approach
Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport has deployed a new high altitude arrival procedure, Point Merge, to integrate inbound flights and increase the number of flights that air traffic controllers can manage simultaneously.
Point Merge is implemented by setting a merge point in the airspace near the airport and then drawing arcs further out that are centered on the defined point. The procedure was implemented based on validations from the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program, and involves an inbound aircraft placed in one of the arcs and then directed towards the merge point, on a straight course. The next aircraft follows the same procedures, allowing arriving traffic to merge on the same point.
According to SESAR, the airspace at Paris-Charles de Gaulle required a complex re-design to deploy the new procedure because the merge points and arcs flown by arriving aircraft are much bigger than previous standard arrivals.
SESAR calls Point Merge an important tool for allowing "the aviation sector to reach its safety, capacity and environmental targets." The procedure results in reduction of radio frequency usage, since more flights can be handled simultaneously, and also allows for noise reduction by allowing approaching aircraft to remain at a higher altitude for longer and descend on a continual path at a later stage to the approach fix.
The Paris deployment should follow with more implementation of Point Merge at airports across Europe as the SESAR programs looks to continue improving air traffic management throughout the region.

USATT Strategic Planning Summary
On September 25th and 26th, USATT assembled a cross-section of Table Tennis expertise at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs that included Board members, Advisory Committee Chairs and members, elite athletes, a USATT Foundation representative, club representatives, representatives of the manufacturing/distributors and sponsors sector along with members of the national staff for an intensive series of strategic planning sessions. Maureen Craig, an independent facilitator with an impressive background in corporate planning, led all sessions.
In the process, USATT strengths, weaknesses and opportunities were discussed at length in an open and candid manner. It was felt that it would be important to focus on manageable priorities that would prove to have lasting and meaningful benefit to the membership and to the sport.
The USATT Board adopted the three strategic initiatives, a brand promise, a vision statement and a set of core values at their meeting on September 27th. The three strategic initiatives, Junior Development, Grow Membership through Added Value and Communications were each appointed a task force led by a Board member with the expectation that we will begin making changes within 30 days and that we will take more action and have a full report by our Annual Assembly in December.
USATT: Taking our Game to the Next Level
We will introduce a new generation of youth to a new generation of Table Tennis. We will ignite a grassroots movement that connects the fun of basement ping pong to the awesome intensity of Olympic competition.
Club and league directors will see us as their trusted ally in engaging the masses and nurturing talent.
Colleges will offer Table Tennis scholarships and attendance at intramural competitions will be standing room only. Table Tennis will become a varsity high school sport. Corporate sponsors we now seek will instead seek us out.
We will be known as innovators and agents of change. Ten years from now, other sports' NGBs will meet and ask themselves, "How can we grow our sport like Table Tennis did?"
- We believe that working together, we can accomplish far more than working alone.
- We welcome players from the basement to the Olympic arena.
- Respect and integrity will not be sacrificed for results. We call our own faults.
- It is better to serve than to receive
- Junior Development
- Grow Membership through Added Value
- Communications
The Junior Development Task Force has Ashu Jain serving as the Chairman. The Grow Membership through Added Value is Chaired by Christian Lillieroos. The Communications Task Force has Han Xiao serving as the Chairman. Each of the named task forces is currently gathering their members and they are already planning their programs.
The brand promise is to take our game to the next level. With that expect a new logo and website design. Our vision emphasis is on youth so expect initiatives that are youth oriented. Our values embrace the energy of the sport, integrity and conclude," We believe it is better to serve than to receive."
Again, the plan calls for a more detailed report to be made to the membership at the Annual Assembly in December to be held in conjunction with our 2009 National Championships in Las Vegas the evening of December 15 at the LV Convention Center (meeting room to be announced). We look forward to meeting as many of the membership as possible at the Annual Assembly and to also conveying our plans and initiatives through our website and magazine to those who can not be in attendance with us in Las Vegas.

NYPA and Lewiston
Dedicate Pioneering Microturbine Operations at Wastewater Facility; Event
Marks First Anniversary of Operations
Willmott, NYPA
printer-friendly version
Keith Field,
Capstone Turbine
June 15, 2002
LEWISTON—Louis P. Ciminelli, chairman of the New York
Power Authority (NYPA), was joined by state and local officials here
Saturday as he presided over the dedication of Western New York's first
municipal use of microturbines.
The microturbines are helping to power the Town of
Lewiston Water Pollution Control Center, a wastewater treatment facility.
This month marks the one-year anniversary of microturbine use at this
"Under Governor Pataki's policies encouraging clean,
renewable energy solutions, the Town of Lewiston is the first municipality
in Western New York to utilize microturbines," said Ciminelli. "Running
this facility with cleaner, greener power protects the environment by
improving air quality and saves taxpayers money by reducing operating
In 2001, Governor Pataki issued Executive Order No.111,
which established energy efficiency and renewable energy goals for state
buildings and vehicles. This microturbine project is in line with the
Governor's executive order, which also encouraged local governments
to pursue similar goals and authorized NYPA and other state agencies to
assist municipalities.
"Lewiston's use of one of the newest clean energy
technologies powered by a renewable energy source is very appropriate in
view of its role as host to our Niagara Power Project which also uses
renewable energy and is New York State's largest power producer," Ciminelli
"Building this 21st-century microturbine
project here is in keeping with the strong commitment of Governor Pataki and
the Power Authority to the economic and environmental health of Lewiston and
Western New York," said Senator George D. Maziarz. "Just as the Niagara
Power Project now helps to protect 50,000 jobs in Western New York, new
energy technologies can help to bring more jobs to the Niagara Frontier."
"The Town of Lewiston's success with this advanced
energy technology, through the efforts of Governor Pataki, the state
legislature and the Power Authority, also helps create a positive climate
for businesses seeking to develop the high-tech initiatives so vital to
Western New York's growth," said Assemblywoman Francine DelMonte.
"We are grateful to Governor Pataki, the state
legislative delegation and the Power Authority for helping us institute this
innovative technology to reduce the cost of government for our town's
families and give us all cleaner air to breathe," said Sandra Maslen,
supervisor of the Town of Lewiston.
The two, new 30-kilowatt (kw) microturbines, made by
Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.microturbine.com;
Nasdaq: CPST) in Los Angeles, have a combined system generating capacity of
60 kw, and provide about one-third of the electricity needed to run the
plant, which results in about $40,000 in savings annually on the facility's
electric bills.
The microturbines replaced a less-efficient diesel
generator which was at the end of its useful life. The new units are
expected to cut atmospheric emissions by 90 percent compared to the old
diesel generator, reducing emissions by 30 tons annually.
Microturbines are small turbo-generators (combustion
turbine devices) fueled in a number of ways, including the use of anaerobic
digester gas (ADG) which is a "free fuel" produced through sewage treatment
plant operations like those at Lewiston. As with the older diesel system,
previously used for cogeneration (producing electricity and heat), the
Lewiston microturbines are powered with ADG, a renewable energy source, to
make electricity for plant use and, for added energy efficiency, the heat
generated is captured for use by the plant's digestion process. The
microturbines began operating in late June 2001.
Installation of the microturbines cost $225,000. The
Power Authority provided $125,000 for purchase and delivery of the units,
design and engineering services related to demolition of the old system and
installation of the new units, and technical support for all aspects of the
project. The Town of Lewiston did much of the demolition, site preparation
and installation work. The other $100,000 came from the Petroleum
Overcharge Restitution (POCR) fund made available to the state from oil
company overcharges in the 1970s.
Capstone's 30- and 60-kw microturbines are the only
commercially available generators of any kind tested and approved for
distributed generation grid interconnection by the New York State Department
of Public Service.
The Lewiston Water Pollution Control Center is located
at 501 Pletcher Road in Lewiston and, in addition to the Town of Lewiston,
it serves the Town of Porter and the Villages of Lewiston and Youngstown.

Heavy monsoon rains are soaking parts of Asia, triggering massive floods throughout the region. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said more than 1,600 people have died and another 6 million are in need of emergency assistance.
Pakistani authorities said around 2.6 million acres -- around 4,000 square miles -- of crop land are under water and more than 300,000 homes were destroyed.
"Thousands of villages and towns in low-lying areas have not seen flooding on this scale in generations," Andrej Mahecic, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, was quoted by the United Nations as saying.
OCHA said it received more than $44 million for flood relief, with another $91 million pledged. The U.S. Agency for International Development said it was committing another $20 million in financial assistance.
"Our response is consistent with our humanitarian values and our deep commitment to Pakistan," a statement from the U.S. State Department read.
Heavy rain and flooding have cut parts of Pakistan off from the rest of the country, though U.N. agencies said weather conditions have improved.

The mouflon (Ovis aries orientalis[1] group) is a subspecies group of the wild sheep Ovis aries. Populations of Ovis aries can be partitioned into the mouflons and the urials (vignei group).[2] The mouflon is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern domestic sheep breeds.[3][4]
Mouflon have red-brown, short-haired coats with dark back-stripes and light-colored saddle patches. The males are horned; some females are horned while others are polled. The horns of mature rams are curved in almost one full revolution (up to 85 cm). Mouflon have shoulder heights of about 0.9 meters and body weights of 50 kg (males) and 35 kg (females).[5]
Today mouflon inhabit the Caucasus, northern Iraq, and northwestern Iran. The range originally stretched further to Anatolia, the Crimean peninsula and the Balkans, where they had already disappeared 3,000 years ago. Mouflon were introduced to the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Rhodes and Cyprus during the neolithic period, perhaps as feral domesticated animals, where they have naturalized in the mountainous interiors of these islands over the past few thousand years, giving rise to the subspecies known as European mouflon (O. aries musimon). On the island of Cyprus, the mouflon or agrino became a different and endemic species only found there, the Cyprus mouflon (Ovis orientalis ophion). The Cyprus mouflon population contains only about 3000 animals. They are now rare on the islands, but are classified as feral animals by the IUCN.[6] They were later successfully introduced into continental Europe, including Spain, France, Germany, central Italy, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the Canary Islands, and even some northern European countries such as Sweden and Finland. A small colony exists in the remote Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, and on the Veliki Brijun Island in the Brijuni Archipelago of the Istrian Peninsula in Croatia. In South America, mouflon have been introduced into central Chile and Argentina.[7] Since the 1980s, they have also been successfully introduced to game ranches in North America for the purpose of hunting; however, on game ranches, purebreds are rare, as mouflon interbreed with domestic sheep and bighorn sheep.[citation needed] Mouflon have also been introduced into the Hawaiian islands of Lanai and Hawaii as game animals.
Their normal habitats are steep mountainous woods near tree lines. In winter, they migrate to lower altitudes.[5]
The scientific classification of the mouflon is disputed.[8] Five subspecies of mouflon are distinguished by MSW3:[2]
- The Armenian mouflon, Ovis orientalis gmelini (Blyth, 1851), has been introduced in Texas, USA.
- The European mouflon, (O. o. musimon (Pallas, 1811) was introduced about 7,000 years ago in Corsica and Sardinia for the first time. It has since been introduced in many parts of Europe.
- The Cypriot mouflon, (O. o. ophion Blyth, 1841), also called agrino, from the Greek Αγρινό was nearly extirpated during the 20th century. In 1997, about 1,200 of this subspecies were counted.
- The Iranian red sheep, O. o. orientalis Gmelin, 1774, is found in the Caucasus, northwestern Iran and southern Anatolia. The scientific nomenclature unclear; it is sometimes also called O. o. gmelini.
- The Esfahan mouflon, O. o. isphahanica Nasonov, 1910, is from the Zagros Mountains, Iran.
- The Laristan mouflon, O. o. laristanica Nasonov, 1909), is a small subspecies; its range is restricted to some desert reserves near Lar in southern Iran.
A mouflon was cloned successfully in early 2001 and lived at least seven months, making it the first clone of an endangered mammal to survive beyond infancy.[9][10][11] This demonstrated a common species (in this case, a domestic sheep) can successfully become a surrogate for the birth of an exotic animal such as the mouflon. If cloning of the mouflon can proceed successfully, it has the potential to reduce strain on the number of living specimens.
Mouflon in culture
- The mouflon is featured on the symbol of Cyprus Airways, as well as on the 1-, 2-, and 5-cent Cypriot euro coins.
- The mouflon is featured on the historic flag of Armenian kingdom Syunik, as well as on the tombstones.
- The similarity of the mouflon to domestic sheep, combined with its threatened status, has made it a subject of interest, both scientific and popular, in the use of biotechnology in species preservation.[12]

So you post a recipe that works perfectly for you. It might serve as a good starting point for a newbie, but where do they go from there. I think we would serve the goal of advancing the art and science of pizza making much better if we placed less emphasis on formulas and more on important principles like:1. Why pizza dough is NOT like bread? (the more I understand this one, the better my pies get)2. What are the different kinds of flours available and how and why are they used in different kinds of pies and ovens.3. What happens when you combine flour and water and how you can use this to your advantage (mixing, autolyzing, riposo, etc.)?4. What is the effect of salt on leavening process.5. What is the difference between a biga, poolish, preferment, starter, etc.?6. What kinds of mixers are "best" for pizza and why?etc., etc. All of this information is covered in dribs and drabs throughout this forum and the glossary. I've lobbied before for a FAQ and have even volunteered to contribute to it. This effort seems more worthwhile than a collection of recipes.my 2 cents.Bill/SFNM

State should help the poor
Cody Stanley, Grand Forks
Jesus said to help the needy. We have many poor folks in North Dakota-over 80,000 people in our own state live below the poverty line. Luckily, with a $1.6 billion surplus, we have the resources to help them, as we were taught to do.
But during the last legislative session, Republicans refused to do so. Instead of devoting a portion of the state's bounty to our most needy residents, they did one of two things. Either they bestowed gifts on outsiders (e.g., over 80 percent of tax cuts went to out-of-state corporations), or they shoved the cash into vaults that were already bursting at the seams with money.
Consider, for example, Republicans' policies toward Head Start, an early education program for low-income children. We know that poverty impairs kids academically. As a result, the 4,000 North Dakota children in Head Start rely on the program to give them a chance in the race of life. When Republicans in Washington, D.C., including our own Kevin Cramer, forced sequestration on the nation, among the programs that suffered cuts was Head Start. Meanwhile, back in North Dakota, the state's Republican lawmakers refused to reallocate resources to make up for the federal shortfall. From the $1.6 billion surplus which the oil- and gas-rich earth has given us, they would not part with a single penny for the sake of the children. Consequently, kids have been cut from Head Start, teachers and their assistants have been dismissed, bus service diminished, and instructional hours slashed.
To lord over piles of money and turn away the poor is the exact opposite of what Jesus enjoined us to do.
