MicroStar International, one of the world's largest makers of mainboards, plans to boost efficiency of multi-GPU operation on its next-generation motherboard powered by Intel P55 chipset. MSI's code-named Big Bang mainboard features Hydra chip from Lucid Logix that enables nearly linear scaling of multi-GPU arrays' performance.
According to IOPanel web-site, MSI's 7582 "Big Band" mainboard features a Lucid LT24102 (revision) A0 chip to "balance [the workload – X-bit labs] and link between the different video cards". The motherboard itself is based on Intel P55 core-logic set and is compatible with Intel Core i7 or i5 "Lynnfield" processors in LGA1156 form-factor.
It is interesting to note that the Hydra chip sports completely different packaging compared to the Hydra chip found on a special mainboard by Elsa released earlier this year and aimed at professional market. Moreover, the mainboard itself does not feature any video outputs, whereas Lucid Hydra technology supposes that the dispatch processor outputs the picture itself.
The Hydra engine sits between the chipset and several GPUs and acts like a dispatch processor within the array of graphics processing units (GPU) to distribute tasks between the chips. The technology drives the GPUs, performing scalable rendering of a particular image or scene, and relies on "unique adaptive decomposition and acceleration algorithms to overcome bottlenecks". The Hydra engine combines a PCI Express 1.1. system-on-chip (Tensilica Diamond 212GP programmable general purpose processor) with exclusive software technologies that load-balances graphics processing tasks, delivering near-linear to above-linear performance with two, three or more graphics cards, according to the company's promises.
In case Lucid's Hydra chip and software operate as planned, MSI's 7582 "Big Bang" mainboard may become one of the most demanded platforms among video gaming enthusiasts who plan to utilize two graphics cards for ultimate performance.
It is interesting to note that Lucid Logix company was originally funded by Intel Capital. Perhaps, installation of Hydra chip onto a next-gen mainboard featuring Intel's chipset is a preparation for multi-GPU arrays based on Intel Larrabee graphics processors?
Neither MSI nor Lucid commented on the news-story.

Sahai appointed to regents board
WEBSTER CITY – A Webster City physician is one of the newest members of the Iowa Board of Regents.
Gov. Terry Branstad's office announced Friday that Dr. Subhash Sahai had been appointed to the board which governs Iowa's public universities.
"I'm honored and humbled to be appointed to the Iowa Board of Regents," Sahai said Friday. "It's exciting, but of course it means an enormous responsibility."
Sahai said he has known Branstad for many years and recently was interviewed by the governor and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
Branstad also appointed Grimes businessman and Republican activist Robert Cramer. Sahai and Cramer will replace David Miles and Jack Evans as regents. Their terms will begin on May 1.
Board of Regents President Craig Lang, of Brooklyn, was also appointed to another 6-year term on the board. Branstad said he wanted Lang, a dairy farmer and former Iowa Farm Bureau president, to stay on after his term ended April 30.
The appointments need confirmation from the Democratic-controlled Iowa Senate, which has accused Lang and President Pro-Tem Bruce Rastetter of exerting too much influence.
"Every board has issues here and there, but it's important to stay above the fray and do what's best for our universities and students," Sahai said. "I look forward to beginning this appointment."
Sahai, who began practicing medicine in January1976, received his medical degree from the University of Iowa, and completed his residency at Broadlawns Hospital in Des Moines. He began his practice in a small office in Webster City and was later joined in practice by his wife, Dr. Sushma Sahai, and brother, Dr. Anil Sahai. The three physicians opened the Webster City Medical Clinic, a medical campus that has continued to grow and expand through the years with the addition of other healthcare professionals and services.
In 2008, Subhash Sahai was named the Iowa Physician of the Year by the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians. He is currently the chief of staff at Van Diest Medical Center in Webster City. The physician is also a past member of the Webster City Schools Board of Education.
Other appointments
Branstad also appointed two other Webster City residents to serve on state boards.
Michelle Chalfant was named to the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Examining Board and Duane Madeorin the Iowa Grain Indemnity Fund Board.

Baldwin, William
William Baldwin c. 1515-c. 1563
English novelist, poet, editor, translator, and nonfiction writer.
A respected author, editor, and translator during the middle years of the sixteenth century, Baldwin published a small number of works that display linguistic and narrative complexity as well as a sophisticated understanding of the political power of writing. As the editor of the enormously popular anthology A Mirror for Magistrates (1559), as a compiler of a popular philosophical compendium, as a translator of the biblical Song of Songs and of Italian satire, and as the writer of original works of poetry and prose, Baldwin demonstrated the range of his interests and the scope of his literary experimentation. His works chart too his appropriation of Erasmian humanism in the service of the Protestant Reformation. Baldwin also holds the distinction of having published the first sonnet in English and of authoring the first long work of prose fiction in English, Beware the Cat (1570). During his life, Baldwin was best known for his Treatise of Moral Philosophy (1547), but modern critics have concentrated on his role as the editor of Mirror and on resurrecting the reputation of Beware the Cat, which has been called the first English novel and the best anti-Catholic satire of its time.
Biographical Information
Although during his life Baldwin enjoyed renown as a learned man, little is known about his background and family life. There is some speculation that he was of Welsh descent, but the date and place of his birth remain a mystery. There is a record of two William Baldwins from Shropshire, one of whom served as a cupbearer to Queen Mary I and another who is reported to have died in 1544. A Baldwin family moved from Wales to Shropshire and to Staffordshire, and a similar event is mentioned in Beware the Cat. However, whether William Baldwin the author was a member of any of these families cannot be confirmed. Most scholars take his date of birth to be around 1515, and some believe he may have received a degree from Oxford in 1533, but again, this cannot be verified; while his works show him to be a man of learning, he may have been self-educated. It has been conjectured, too, that before 1547, when his name was first associated with the printer Edward Whitchurch, he may have been a schoolmaster or perhaps served in the military.
However he spent his young adulthood, Baldwin's path led to the printing house of Whitchurch, a man who shared his vehement opposition to Roman Catholicism and support of the Protestant Reformation. In 1547 Whitchurch published Baldwin's commendatory sonnet to Christopher Langton's A very brefe treatise, ordrely declaring the principal partes of phisick, and for the next six years Baldwin worked as the printer's assistant. In those years, Whitchurch published sixty-eight books, mainly religious works and the writings of Baldwin, including A Treatise of Moral Philosophy, The Canticles or Ballads of Solomon (1549), Wonderful News of the Death of Paul the Third (1552), The Funerals of King Edward the Sixth (1560), and Beware the Cat. In 1555 Baldwin completed A Mirror for Magistrates, but the work was suppressed and published only after the end of the Catholic Queen Mary I's reign. All indications are that Baldwin was well respected among his contemporaries as a man of letters and remained active in London at least until 1559, despite his commitment to Protestant ideals under the Catholic monarchy. It is unclear what became of him after 1559. He may have become a preacher, and it seems probable that he died in 1563.
Major Works
In 1547 Baldwin's commendatory sonnet to A very brefe treatise, ordrely declaring the principal partes of phisick appeared as an advertisement for Langton's work. It was the first English sonnet to be set in print. That same year, Baldwin published one of the two works for which he was best known during his lifetime and for several generations afterward. A Treatise of Moral Philosophy, a didactic work written in the tradition of Erasmian humanism, includes brief lives of twenty-four classical philosophers and translations of over twelve hundred classical sayings in prose and verse. Revised seven times between 1547 and 1564, the Treatise was reprinted twenty-four times by 1651. In 1549 Baldwin published The Canticles or Ballads of Solomon, a metrical translation of the biblical Song of Songs. A companion piece to Baldwin's Treatise, this work provides a counterpoint to the pagan philosophy in the earlier work.
Baldwin's next major work, Beware the Cat, was written around 1552 but not published until 1570, after the accession of the Protestant Queen Elizabeth. (An edition may have been printed in 1561, but the earliest extant edition is that of 1570.) Beware the Cat, the earliest original piece of long prose fiction in English, has also been called the first English novel. It is an interlaced series of stories satirizing superstition in general and Catholicism in particular. The frame of the work is an argument between Baldwin, as a naïve narrator, and Master Gregory Streamer, a pedantic scholar, over whether animals can reason. Baldwin uses the discussion to satirize Catholicism, alluding to, for example, the amoral behavior of the pope and attacking Catholic dogma. What sets Baldwin's work apart from the numerous other anti-Catholic satires of the day is its sophisticated voice, verbal inventiveness, and novelistic structure.
Just as the anti-Catholic Beware the Cat could not be published until after Elizabeth's accession, so Baldwin could not publish his next literary endeavor until after Mary's reign had ended. A continuation of John Lydgate's Fall of Princes, A Mirror for Magistrates was licensed to John Wayland (a Catholic who took over Whitchurch's printing shop when Mary assumed the throne in 1553) but was suppressed in 1555. The anthology was eventually printed in its first edition in 1559. In this work Baldwin creates a frame in which a series of ghosts from English history appear to him and describe how their actions caused their downfall. The verse stories are directed to public officials, and the idea is that they are a "mirror" to show officials what behavior to avoid. Various writers contributed to the Mirror, including such notables as Thomas Churchyard, Thomas Phaer, Thomas Chaloner, Thomas Sackville, Francis Seager, John Dolman, and Baldwin himself, but it was Baldwin's narrative frame of the work that made it so popular and spawned numerous imitations.
Two minor works by Baldwin reinforce the Erasmian humanist program seen in his longer compositions. The 1552 pamphlet Westerne Wyll, upon the debate betwyxte Churchyarde and Camell, part of the flyting between Churchyard and Thomas Camell, is a work of social criticism that looks ahead to Baldwin's later fictional works in its play with narrative point of view, its dialogic structure, and its epistemological thematics. Also around 1552 a translation now attributed to Baldwin appeared. The satirical letter Wonderful News of the Death of Paul the Third, by one Publius Esquillus, was translated from Epistola de morte, attributed to Matthias Flacius and P. P. Vergerio. The title identifying the translator as "W. B., Londoner," together with Baldwin's motto, "Love and Live," point to Baldwin. The work ostensibly follows the soul of the late pope to hell, where his crimes—sodomy, incest, licentiousness, poisoning, and the like—are recorded on pillars of adamant. Baldwin's last work, The Funerals of King Edward the Sixth, a 380-line verse elegy on the death of the young king, blames the immorality of the English people, particularly its government and church leaders, for Edward's death. It also portrays Mary's accession as a punishment for their seditious behavior.
Critical Reception
Although Baldwin is an obscure figure to modern readers, he enjoyed renown during his own day as an important Protestant man of letters. He edited one of the best-known anthologies of the sixteenth century—by 1610 the Mirror had been printed no fewer than eight times—and assembled one of the century's most-read books of moral philosophy. Despite his commitment to educating his readers in humanist and religious principles, however, Baldwin dropped from sight after 1559 and, it is widely assumed, ceased to write. Some scholars believe that his dedication to Protestant ideals moved him to answer the calling of the ministry. A Mirror for Magistrates remained in print long after Baldwin's disappearance from public view (it was one of the most popular works of the seventeenth century), but the author himself and his other works fell into obscurity. It was only in the twentieth century that critics began to show renewed interest in his works. In the 1970s William A. Ringler, Jr. championed Baldwin as a prose writer of distinction, and with his 1988 edition, with Michael Flachmann, of Beware the Cat made that text accessible to modern readers. Since then, most scholars writing on Baldwin have focused on Beware the Cat, which has come to be regarded by many as the first English novel. However, critics have also taken up Baldwin's nonfiction, examining, among other things, the author's didacticism and his sophisticated use of the narrative frame.

My brother is training with Antwain Britt
Soooo, last Saturday, I got this feeling about how MMA would be a great influence on my little brother's life. He's 21, about to start his senior year of college, and has been burned by two bad relationships with girls this year. One was his girl for 3 years, and one was his girl for 3 weeks. They both messed him up pretty bad and he's been feeling low and bored for sometime now.
BUT, as I told Mr. Hughes himself in Vegas a few weeks ago, my brother gets excited every time he sees the TUF reruns or fight specials on Spike almost every night. In fact, last week, he called me up and relayed to me the entire Anderson Silva and Rick Franklin fight, even though I've seen it myself a few times, I couldn't get enough of how excited he was. Then he watched a few Matt Hughes fights and thought he was nifty.
So he's got a new hero, why not help a brother out?
He lives down in Virginia Beach, where he goes to college, so I contacted Hybrid, a sister gym and affiliate of my own MMAI (
, and talked to Buck, the owner of Hybrid.
Buck said he would love to have Nate come in and see what it was about.
I was sort of nervous as to how my brother would react to being yelled at outside his squad in the Army ROTC program, and how he would react when he woke up completely sore from drills and sparring. So I told him to start in beginners Muay Thai, Combat Submission Wrestling, BJJ, and Crossfit.
I got a text on Tuesday night saying "KIM YOU ROCK, I LOVE THIS"
Last night he claimed that MMA is his new 'girlfriend'
And today I got a text that said "I'm starting a class now with Antwain Britt and he is cool". I've heard around our gyms that Antwain is a pretty nice dude. I'm just happy that my brother has finally found something to be passionate about, because I know once he found it, he would put 100% effort. I'm not sure if he'll ever be a fighter, but it's cool to do something you love anyway.
The end

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
Very very cool list of quotations and directives on pythonic programming. I love them and they are sure applicable in C++ too, and for most any programming, really.
This will email [email protected] a message with the body: "rsync done" when there are no processes of rsync running. This can be changed for other uses by changing $(pgrep rsync) to something else, and echo "rsync done" | mailx [email protected] to another command.
Gets the internal and external IP addresses of all your interfaces, or the ones given as arguments
This command uses mutt to send the mail. You must pipe in a body, otherwise mutt will prompt you for some stuff. If you don't have mutt, it should be dead easy to install.
This works in some situations where 'reset' and the other alternatives don't.
rev - reverse lines of a file or files
rev [file ...]
The rev utility copies the specified files to the standard output, reversing the order of characters in every line. If no files are specified, the standard input is read.
The rev command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
This command starts screen with 'htop', 'nethogs' and 'iotop' in split-screen. You have to have these three commands (of course) and specify the interface for nethogs - mine is wlan0, I could have acquired the interface from the default route extending the command but this way is simpler.
htop is a wonderful top replacement with many interactive commands and configuration options. nethogs is a program which tells which processes are using the most bandwidth. iotop tells which processes are using the most I/O.
The command creates a temporary "screenrc" file which it uses for doing the triple-monitoring. You can see several examples of screenrc files here: http://www.softpanorama.org/Utilities/Screen/screenrc_examples.shtml
Resizes all images in the curent directory to x resolution.
It is better than `mogrify -resize *.jpg` because of independence from extension of image (e.g. .jpg and .JPG) (:
Only tested on Linux Ubunty Hardy. Works when file names have spaces. The "-maxdepth 2" limits the find search to the current directory and the next one deeper in this example. This was faster on my system because find was searching every directory before the current directory without the -maxdepth option. Almost as fast as locate when used as above. Must use double quotes around pattern to handle spaces in file names. -print0 is used in combination with xargs -0. Those are zeros not "O"s. For xargs, -I is used to replace the following "{}" with the incoming file-list items from find. Echo just prints to the command line what is happening with mv. mv needs "{}" again so it knows what you are moving from. Then end with the move destination. Some other versions may only require one "{}" in the move command and not after the -I, however this is what worked for me on Ubuntu 8.04. Some like to use -type f in the find command to limit the type.
When you've got a list of numbers each on its row, the ECHO command puts them on a simple line, separated by space. You can then substitute the spaces with an operator. Finally, pipe it to the BC program.
Useful when you have some wrong on a server (nfs freeze/ immortal process)
Create a bunch of random files with random binary content. Basically dd dumps randomly from your hard disk to files random-file*.
Display the amount of memory used by all the httpd processes. Great in case you are being Slashdoted!
slashdot.org webserver adds an X-Bender or X-Fry HTTP header to every response!
A common mistake in Bash is to write command-line where there's command a reading a file and whose result is redirected to that file.
It can be easily avoided because of :
1) warnings "-bash: file.txt: cannot overwrite existing file"
2) options (often "-i") that let the command directly modify the file
but I like to have that small function that does the trick by waiting for the first command to end before trying to write into the file.
Lots of things could probably done in a better way, if you know one...
Same as above but slooooow it down
Next time you are leaching off of someone else's wifi use this command before you start your bittorrent ...for legitimate files only of course.
It creates a hexidecimal string using md5sum from the first few lines of /dev/urandom and splices it into the proper MAC address format. Then it changes your MAC and resets your wireless (wlan0:0).
You got some results in two variables within your shell script and would like to find the differences? Changes in process lists, reworked file contents, ... . No need to write to temporary files. You can use all the diff parameters you'll need. Maybe anything like $ grep "^>"
is helpful afterwards.
This will create the file /tmp/pkgdetails, which will contain a listing of all the files installed on your RPM-based system (RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, etc). Useful should the RPM system/database become corrupted to find which package installed which files.

Topic: Database diagramming tools for OS X?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some kind of tool/app/script that will take an existing MySQL database and generate a database diagram from it. I'm going to be running this on OS X. Free would be good , but I'm willing to pay if the tool is good enough.
Any suggestions?

Well, to be fair, Hollins is there for the intimidation factor. He's our enforcer. Other teams are terrified to come inside when he's there patrolling the paint, so he's bound to pick up a few fouls.

No doubt. My family has always loved the song and the silly video. It's not Christmas without it at my house. LOVE IT!!
I always get stuck on listening to Elvis sing Blue Christmas.
I don't know why, but that song is just hilarious to me. Something about all that blue,blue,blue,blue,blue Christmas part.
I love Happy Xmas, though. That's my Xmas song. (and alvin and the chipmunks too[:D]) LOL

When minor things go wrong with our cars, most of us just bite the bullet and consult a trusted mechanic. But have you ever considered that you might be selling yourself short? Fact is, if you've got a little patience, you can resolve a lot of these issues without even leaving home. And that means extra money in your pocket, not to mention the satisfaction of a job well done.
In this post, I want to share a few common DIY ("Do It Yourself") procedures with you. Remember, even if you did every single one of these jobs, you'd still only be scratching the surface of your potential. There isn't much about a car that you can't fix on your own. But sometimes, the hardest part is just getting started. Read on for some simple ways to get that DIY ball rolling.
1. Headlight Restoration
If your car's more than a few years old, chances are its headlight lenses could use some TLC — particularly if you deal with inclement weather on a regular basis. You'll notice cloudiness on the plastic lens surface and maybe some yellowing as well. Fortunately, a number of reputable brands sell headlight restoration kits that can make those lenses look new again. I'm always a fan of Meguiar's products, and some of my neighborhood friends have responded well to the 3M kits, too.
Don't get intimidated if your kit requires a power drill, by the way; that's just because you need more power to get that crud off than a human arm can muster. In my experience, the job may take an hour or two to do properly, but there's nothing tricky about it.
2. Headlight Replacement
Mechanics love when customers come in with blown-out headlights. I'm telling you, folks, repair jobs under the hood don't get much simpler than this one; it's like giving that friendly mechanic a free lunch. There are tons of replacement headlights and headlight bulbs for sale right here on Advance Auto Parts, and we've even got some handy step-by-step tutorials to help you along the way. Be sure to check your owner's manual, too, as there's often a How-To in there for the headlight replacement procedure.
A word of advice, though, and this goes for any job that involves disassembly or removal: remember the order in which you take things apart. If you have to remove your headlight assembly, for example, you may end up unscrewing and pulling out a number of pieces. Please don't forget how to put everything back together.
3. Replace Your Wipers
This is actually a simpler job than headlight replacement, because you don't even have to pop the hood. Windshield-wiper blades typically just snap into place, so replacing them is as easy as flipping the wiper shafts up off the windshield, popping the old blades off and snapping the new ones on. Your owner's manual should have specific information about the removal and replacement process.
As for your blade selection, it depends on several different factors–the kind of car you have, where you live and the type of driving you do. You can learn more at this informational page on windshield wiper installation.
4. Replenish Your Fluids
Fluids are the lifeblood of an internal combustion engine. Without enough motor oil, the engine will wear down more quickly and may even seize. Without enough power steering fluid, the pump, bearings and other parts are in imminent danger. Without enough brake fluid…well, you get the point. Bottom line, it's crucial to make sure that all fluids are always up to spec. To do it yourself, just check your owner's manual for the location of each fluid reservoir or dipstick, and make a habit of inspecting those fluid levels. I do it every other time I get gas. If you need replacement fluids, the Advance Auto Parts website has got every imaginable variety; just plug what you're looking for into the search field.
5. Wash & Wax Your Ride
Ever find yourself shaking your head at the price of a car wash? I'll tell you one thing: it definitely costs more than you'd pay to do it yourself. So why not get up close and personal with your car's finish? My favorite product is called "waterless car wash," because you don't need water or a bucket or anything like that — just grab a microfiber cloth and a bottle of Griot's finest, and 15 minutes later your car will be shining like it just came from the detailer. Of course, if you want to get more serious with waxing, clay-bar treatments and so forth, there's a whole world of at-home detailing products to explore.
"Wait, why should I DIY again?"
Let's recap. When you do simple jobs like these yourselves, you definitely save money, and you'll also know your car's being treated with the love it deserves. Plus, you're gonna learn a thing or two along the way. What's not to like?
By the way, give me a shout in the comments if you try any of these DIYs, or if you have any other suggestions for all the aspiring driveway mechanics out there.

A Clinton County grand jury has handed up a 13-count indictment against a Plattsburgh-based state trooper, charging him with forcibly raping or attempting to rape three women over a span of four years.
Trevor J. Donah, 32, of Plattsburgh, was initially arrested on Feb. 5 and charged with two counts of first-degree rape. Franklin County District Attorney Derek Champagne, who's acting as special prosecutor in the case, said at the time that the charges stemmed from the rape of two adult women: one in 2012 and one in 2010. He said the alleged rapes didn't occur while Donah was on duty and were not related to his job as a trooper.
The indictment spells out a much longer list of charges against Donah involving three women, all of whom are referred to in a press release from Champagne's office by the name "Jane Doe."
Donah was indicted for first-degree rape and first-degree unlawful imprisonment for the alleged rape of Jane Doe No. 1 in 2010. He also faces another count of first-degree unlawful imprisonment for an incident involving Jane Doe No. 1 in 2008.
Donah was indicted on counts of third-degree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation for a 2011 incident involving Jane Doe No. 2. For incidents involving the same woman last year, Donah was indicted on counts of first-degree rape, first-degree sexual abuse, criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, third-degree assault and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.
The charges involving the third Jane Doe stem from 2008. Donah was indicted on counts of first-degree attempted rape, first-degree unlawful imprisonment and second-degree assault.
Donah was arraigned on the charges Monday in Plattsburgh City Court.
"He pled not guilty, and he should be presumed innocent of the charges," Donah's attorney, Brian Barrett of Lake Placid, said Monday night. "He's looking forward to his day in court, and we're hoping to have this case resolved by a judge and jury, not in the court of public opinion."
Donah was ordered held in the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond. Should he make bail or bond, he'll have to submit to GPS monitoring.
Champagne and Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Crawford will be handling the prosecution. In a press release, Champagne said his office is ready for trial.
In the meantime, the DA also said state police are continuing their investigation, and anyone with information relevant to the case is asked to call Ray Brook-based state police at 518-897-2000.

The Olympics
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, this morning the International Olympic Committee released its evaluation commission report on the five cities bidding for the 2008 summer Olympic games.
Would the Minister for Canadian Heritage tell the House how the Canadian candidate city performed and measured up?
The Olympics
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Hamilton East
Sheila Copps Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, the evaluation commission reported that Toronto has an excellent bid and it is ready to welcome the world for 2008. It particularly underlined the strong personal support from the Prime Minister of Canada, the premier of Ontario and the mayor of Toronto. It shows that governments can work together.
I am quite confident that when the Prime Minister is there for the final decision on July 13 in Moscow the IOC will announce that Toronto, Canada, will host the games in 2008.
Canadian Wheat Board
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Howard Hilstrom Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, for weeks now I have been trying to find a question that the wheat board minister could answer. Let me try this one.
Communist China does not maintain a monopoly on the sales of wheat and flour in its domestic situation. Canada forces our organic farmers to sell their wheat to the wheat board, the wheat board lends the money to the farmer to buy it back, and then the organic farmer sells it to his customers.
How does the Canadian Wheat Board Act put more money into the pockets of organic farmers in view of these buyback provisions?
Canadian Wheat Board
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Natural Resources and Minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, the board of directors of the Canadian Wheat Board, two-thirds of whom are directly elected by farmers, has responsibility for this matter.
Certain producers have inquired of the Canadian Wheat Board about these calculations and a detailed calculation is in fact available. I can provide that to the hon. gentleman if he would like. The wheat board is absolutely determined to make this system as effective as it can be.
Again I repeat, it is the board of directors of the Canadian Wheat Board, two-thirds directly elected by farmers, that has the responsibility for this matter.
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Pierrette Venne Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, we have twice asked the Minister of Public Works and Government Services whether the government intends to help victims of pyrite damage. He told us yes, soon, and very soon. At least we know that the federal government intends to do something.
Will the minister tell the House whether he intends to join forces with Quebec's program to provide financial assistance to the owners of residential buildings damaged by pyrite, and how much he will be contributing?
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Alfonso Gagliano Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, I hope to be able to make an announcement very soon.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Joe Clark Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, the government is already facing legal action from aboriginals because of the treatment they received in residential schools.
Has the government even evaluated its legal responsibility and vulnerability with respect to the dangerous quality of drinking water on federal lands, including reserves?
Will the government agree today to make immediate changes in order to eliminate the potentially fatal health threat hanging over reserves and other federal jurisdictions?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Kenora—Rainy River
Bob Nault Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, I, first and foremost, want to thank my colleague for what I think is one of the most important questions his party has asked in the House for a number of months.
The issue of our responsibility to aboriginal people and their water quality is, first, that since 1995 the government has put an extra $500 million into reserves for the purposes of sewer and water quality.
Second, I want to inform the hon. member that the government is now in the process of putting a national first nations water management strategy together and we will be announcing that very soon.
National Defence
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, a couple of week ago in the Standing Committee on Defence and Veterans Affairs the chief of staff with over 40 years of military experience to this country said that the NMD project would be a political decision, not a military decision.
With that in mind, would the Prime Minister of our country please tell the toxic Texan and his band of salesmen, who are trying to pedal this project off to unsuspecting Canadians, to politely go home and that we will have no part of national missile defence in the hemisphere?
National Defence
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
York Centre
Art Eggleton Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, people in the United States are concerned about the weapons of mass destruction and their spreading throughout the world. They are coming here to tell us what their objectives are with respect to missile defence. We certainly want to listen. We certainly want to understand what their plan is. We want to understand what the costs are. We want to understand what the implications are for global security. We are in that consultation phase.
Presence In Gallery
Oral Question Period
May 15th, 2001 / 3 p.m.
The Speaker
I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the gallery of the Hon. Pat Duncan, Premier of the Yukon.
Presence In Gallery

Don Boudria Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I understand that there have been negotiations among various parties in the House on Bill C-19. I would propose that we adjourn the debate and then proceed to Bill C-27.

I've said it many times before when this topic comes up and I'll say it again. If Paul McCartney did die way back when, then I surely do enjoy the great music Sgt Peppers to present this guy has given to us. In fact much better. I would just like to think pre-Pepper was Paul fine tuning his musical skills but if it was another guy (yeah right then the new guy is more talented as a song writer.
There I said it.

Summer/Fall 2000
Volume 5 Number 1
"Dr. Robert Dick Wilson was much more interested in the mind and in getting
students to know the Old Testament than he was in how he was clad. He used to come to
class with his suspenders held in place by two safety pins. Sometimes he had a belt, and
sometimes he forgot the belt. He wore horn-rimmed glasses and put them down his nose when
he wanted to look at you. He just started lecturing and never stopped. Sometimes he called
the roll, but other times he forgot.
This particular day I had to finish my thesis so it could go to the
typist. I said to a couple of boys in the class that I had to cut Dr. Wilson's
class the next hour. I told them that if Wilson wanted to know where I was,
to say that I had taken a cut to go to the
"Harvey Jennings came to Princeton Seminary from Waynesburg College during my second year. He eventually became my husband. I first met him at a reception at Springdale. Mrs. Stevenson [wife of Seminary president Ross Stevenson] always had me help out at receptions by pouring punch. I noticed one particular young man, a student, and thought, 'Who is this person? Doesn't he do anything besides drink punch? He has already had fifteen glasses of punch!' What I did not realize at the time was that it was Harvey,
and he was drinking the punch just to be near me."
library. In those days no one
cared if you cut class. When I came back from the library and was walking
across campus, every group of boys I met was howling with laughter. I
wondered what in the world they were laughing at. I checked to see if my
clothes were in order. I wondered what I had done to make them laugh.
Finally, my own class came out of Stuart, and I asked [fellow student] Bill
Rogan why everyone was laughing. We sat down on a bench and he told me what
had happened.
Apparently, when Wilson came to class he was a little more disheveled
than usual, and he was late. He put down his notes and his Bible. He asked
people to sign an attendance sheet, and he started lecturing. He had a way
of wildly gesticulating while he lectured, and suddenly the last safety pin
popped out of his suspenders. Down came his trousers to the floor. The poor,
embarrassed man picked up his pants and said, 'Where is she? Where is she?'
[referring to Mrs. Jennings, the only female student in the class]. The boys
just howled. One of them said, 'Don't worry, Dr. Wilson. She cut class
to go to the library.' He put up his hands and said, 'Praise God from
whom all blessings flow!'

When it comes to celebrating Valentine's day most people reach for the usual things, like chocolate, flowers and a candle light dinner at home.
But as always Il Salviatino dares you to think bigger, welcoming you and your beloved one with a special Package valid from 11th to 19th of February. May that be a triumphant beginning to what will be an unforgettable romantic getaway.
This year's St. Valentine Package includes, besides accommodation in De Luxe Room with breakfast "à la carte", a romantic dinner for two and a 30 minutes couple massage.
Although it will be hard to want to leave the hotel even for a minute, we advise you to do so and explore the city of Florence which is on its own very romantic.
A golden sunset in Ponte Vecchio gazing at Arno river, a sip of Tuscan's fine wine, and a quick stop in one of the top Florentine Chocolatiers could provide you lovely memories to treasure for a lifetime.
It is said that originally St. Valentine in Italy was celebrated by young lovers in ornamental gardens enjoying music and poetry reading. It could be pleasant to take a few hours of your time to visit Pitti's Palace and stroll into the Boboli's Gardens, to have a little taste of what this day could have been like so long ago.
Trusting your fine taste Il Salviatino welcomes you, with a glass of Champagne, to an Aphrodisiac Dinner for two to be served on the February 14th , with a tailored menu created by our Chef Carmine Caló.
As a guest in this 5 star hotel in Florence set your mind on simply enjoying with your Valentine the incomparable environment of Florence, the City of Renaissance.
Without a doubt, the most special and magical moment of the year is New Year's Eve. As we prepare to bid goodbye to the year full of memories, we also await a new beginning filled with unknown excitement.
If we want to start the year with a positive attitude, we should follow New Year's Eve traditions. Eating lentils before the clock strikes midnight will bring fortune to the New year. As throwing something old will give us renewed dreams. Let's not forget about wearing red underwear underneath our best attire. This will bring us good luck as soon as the very first minute of 2012.
For this night, our luxury hotel in Florence Il Salviatino has prepared for you a very special event: "L'Epoca Garbata" (Gracious Years) , linked to the package "An Italian Christmas" . This will make your stay at the the hotel very memorable during the holiday season.
Il Salviatino has taken utmost care in organizing the details of New Year's Eve celebration. We have prepared an exquisite dinner menu which includes dishes like Scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, asparagus and red prawn cream; Red mullet and hazelnuts with parsley and candied lemon, anchovy crumble… Last but not least, a desert that unites the essence of Christmas season with gastronomy: Christmas cake pudding with exotic fruits and berries, English vanilla sauce. And Holiday pastries.
Dinner will be accompanied by live music and entertainment to enjoy an extraordinary performance that pays tribute to the period when elegance reigned supreme in Italy.
The Roaring Twenties, ladies wrapped in long evening gowns dancing a wild swing and, for the first time, showing off their sensual legs in a stylish – and sometimes cheeky – way. The noir ambience of the Thirties, when cigarettes were taken out of shiny silver cases and smoked in the dim light.
The cheerful gaze of people dreaming of a brighter future in the Fifties, and wearing the first colorful clothing and prints. That is the essence of "L'Epoca Garbata" (Gracious Years), a performance that underlines the special aspects embodied in the first decades of the 20th century in Italy.
Guests only have to worry about enjoying this very special night. Il Salviatino provides you a unique environment to have an unforgettable start of 2012.

Christmas, a season for spreading good cheer and spending time with family, is almost upon us. This period casts a particularly strong spell on Florence, where the whole city is all decked out and a number of special activities take place to spread the Christmas spirit both to locals and to tourists taking advantage of the festive period to visit one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Florence Duomo from Il Salviatino
Naturally, Christmas in Florence has something special for the little ones, too. The Christmas Market at Stazione Leopolda features shows and displays that are bound to delight kids. Various other markets also take place, where you'll find crafts, antiques and Christmas articles, across different parts of the city. Check out this list to find out when and where the most important ones are taking place.
The Parade of the Three Kings of the Orient, on 6 January, is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year, running from Piazza Pitti, in the city centre, along to the Cathedral.

His work alongside Tom Hanks in his debut role grossed $200 million, but Academy Award-nominated actor Abdi only made $65,000 from the film and now relies on loaned clothes and help from friends to get by until his next big paycheck comes in+ READ ARTICLE
He may have made waves in the smash hit Captain Phillips and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but Somali American actor Barkhad Abdi is struggling to keep his head above water financially, according to an article in the New Yorker.
While the film was a critical and financial success after netting more than $200 million globally, the first time actor was reportedly only paid $65,000 two years ago for his contribution, along with the occasional per diem for promoting the film.
Since relocating to Hollywood from Minnesota, the actor has had to rely on loaned clothes and the good graces of friends, including a Somali cabdriver who gives him free rides, to get by.
While the actor claims he's in the process of reading through scripts, he has no nailed down roles lined up for the future, according to his IMDB page.

These inspiring mother-daughter running teams cheer each other on, every step of the way.
You swap books, go shopping, bake together. Have you ever thought about exercising together? Getting sweaty as a mother-daughter duo is a fun (and healthy!) way to strengthen your bond and spend some quality time together. What�s more, mothers who exercise set a good example for their children. A 2014 study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that children with fit mothers were more likely to engage in regular physical activity, compared to children with sedentary mothers. In honor of Mother�s Day, we spoke to four inspiring mother-daughter duos who have worked together to attain their fitness goals. For your next mother-daughter date, follow in their lead and lace up your running shoes, grab a yoga mat, or hit the hiking trails�not only will you forge memories that will last for a lifetime, you�ll also get healthier to boot. Connie Koerth, 41, and Nicole Koerth, 17 Brillion, WI When Connie Koerth, 41, first heard about Team in Training�a charity running organization benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society�in 2010, it hit close to home. Connie�s daughter, Nicole, was undergoing treatment for leukemia at the time. �I really had to do this,� said Connie. �I wanted to do it while Nicole was in treatment. It was very near and dear to my heart.� She set her sights on the Nike Women�s Half Marathon in San Francisco in 2011. �I started training a year in advance,� said Connie, who had never walked more than two miles. �13.1 miles seemed impossible, but I surprised myself by finishing.� Nearly two years later, in November 2013, Connie saw Nicole�s bucket list. �On the list, she said that she wanted to run a half marathon,� Connie remembers. �We�re training for the Nike Women�s Half Marathon in Washington, D. C. this April.� The two are running to raise money for Team in Training. Nicole completed her cancer treatments in December 2011. Even though she is now cancer-free, her illness still presents numerous barriers to training�such as fatigue from cancer treatment and weight gain due to the removal of her thyroid�but she refuses to give up. �I realized I�m done fighting for myself,� says Nicole, who completed a local 5K in September to benefit leukemia awareness. �I�m raising awareness about cancer to help others.� During the week, Connie and Nicole train separately but do their long run together on Saturday. �It�s good quality time together,� says Connie. �She tells me about school and her hopes and dreams.� �I�m a little nervous,� Nicole admits. �Thirteen miles seems like a lot, but I�ve learned I�m capable of doing more than I thought I could.� Connie is looking forward to sharing this race experience with her daughter. �I want her to treasure her first experience,� she says. �It�s a dream come true that she can do this.� �This will be something I�ll always remember,� adds Nicole. �We�re moving forward from cancer,� said Connie. �It�s a new chapter in our lives that involves health and wellness. It�s the start of a new journey. Beckie Pulse,48, and Nicole Pulse, 16 Woodinville, WA In October 2013, Beckie Pulse and daughter Nicole tackled the Nike Women�s Half Marathon in San Francisco. Although they didn�t run side-by-side, the race proved to be an unforgettable shared experience that brought them closer in their mother-daughter relationship. At the start line, Nicole, who runs at a faster pace than her mother, told Beckie that she wanted to race ahead. �She didn�t hesitate,� said Nicole. "She said, 'Okay, you can go run.'" �It was a great moment as a mother,� said Beckie. �I had encouraged her up to this point. It was important for her to run her own race. I was comfortable with my 16-year-old running the hills of San Francisco without me by her side.� �I had thought we would spend some time together for at least the first mile,� said Beckie. �But it was a great incentive�I knew she was waiting for me at the end of the race, so I knew I had to keep going.� �It was a fun experience to do this with my mom,� says Nicole. �You learn how strong you are.� �It�s a pretty cool thing to do this with your own child,� Beckie adds. �It�s a big feat to finish. It�s a great feeling of accomplishment.� She hopes her younger daughters continue the tradition. �I�d like to take on a half marathon with them.� Ellen Sloan, 58, Katy Hoffman, 18, and Cleo Hoffman, 16 Pacific Palisades, CA After watching her own mother suffer a debilitating stroke in 2012, Ellen Sloan, 58, was determined to avoid a similar fate�and vowed that she would lead her daughters Katy and Cleo down a healthy path, too. �I�ve always made sure my kids were active,� says Ellen. �I lead by example. We weave it into our lives.� Ellen truly practices what she preaches, making healthy meals for her family and teaching the importance of good nutrition. �When Katy was a year old, we were at a family gathering and I put a plate of Chinese fried green beans in front of her. She gobbled them up,� said Ellen. �If you serve as a role model for your child, they will like all sorts of things.� Fitness is an equally important part of their life. Ellen regularly attends the Palisades-Malibu YMCA and brings Katy and Cleo along with. �It�s an activity we share,� she says, adding that it gives her the chance to spend quality time with her two daughters. �As kids grow older, there are fewer chances for this. It�s hard to find time to spend with each other. It has strengthened the bonds between us. Teens are fascinating young adults. They have a lot to say.� Ellen advises all mothers to set a good example for their daughters when it comes to health and fitness. �You have to adopt the lifestyle you want your kids to have and create opportunities to work out together,� she says. �It makes everyone happier.� Jennifer Willis, 43,�Norman, OK Candy Reece,�63,�Oklahoma City, OK After a frightening colon cancer scare, Jennifer Willis, 43, was galvanized to start taking better care of her health. At the urging of a friend, she decided to start training for a half-marathon. �I didn�t consider myself an athlete,� she recalls. �I had no concept of what I was getting into." As soon as she completed the half-marathon a few months later, Jennifer instantly wanted to train for another. This time, though, she had an ulterior motive: She hoped to recruit her mother, Candy, to join her. �When [Jennifer] told me she wanted to do a marathon together, I thought she was crazy,� Candy, 63, remembers with a laugh. �I like to sit on the sofa and stitch,� she adds with a laugh. The following year, Jennifer signed up for the 2012 Nike Women�s Marathon in San Francisco�and signed her mom up, too. �She didn�t ask me, she told me,� says Candy. In spite of Candy's initial reservations, her first marathon experience turned out to be a great success. Together, Jennifer and Candy raised an astounding $28,000 for Team in Training. During the race, they walked the 26.2 course, crossing the finish line hand-in-hand. Since 2012, the pair has made the commitment to do the Nike Women�s Marathon every year. �This has been so great for us,� says Candy. �Training gives us the incentive to take better care of ourselves.� Together, the two have completed multiple half-marathons and marathons. Of course, there have been missteps along the way: Last year, while competing in the Nike Women�s Half Marathon in Washington, D.C., a passerby knocked Candy off balance in the first mile, causing her to fall and break her pelvis. �We were the first to cross the finish line in a medic car,� says Candy. The duo aims to do two races a year. �It keeps us training all the time,� said Candy. �It�s something we do for ourselves. No one can walk for you.� Their favorite motivational song is �U Can�t Touch This� by MC Hammer. �When that song comes on, you can�t catch up with her,� says Jennifer. �She jokes about her bad knees, but she�s fast! I like being her partner. She�s not a quitter.� No matter what, the two vow to stay together during races. �It�s more fun to hold hands and cross the finish line together,� Jennifer says.

Cinnamon Buns
Courtesy of The Little Red Barn Baking Book (Clarkson Potter, 2000) by Adriana Rabinovich
- For the dough:
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 -4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- For the filling:
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecan nuts, lightly toasted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- For the glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 tablespoons milk
To make the dough, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in 1/2 cup lukewarm water. Set aside for about 5 minutes until foamy. Meanwhile, warm the milk in a saucepan. Add the butter, remaining sugar, and salt, and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat.
Sift 3 cups of flour into a large bowl. Add the yeast, warm milk mixture, and the egg, and stir to make a dough. Knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured board, incorporating more dough as necessary, until the dough is soft, silky, and pliable. Form into a ball. Place in a buttered bowl and turn to coat the dough all over. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise until twice its original size. This will take about 2 hours. At this point, the dough can be left overnight in the fridge, ready to use the next morning. When well risen, punch down the dough, then leave to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, butter a baking sheet. Prepare filling by mixing the sugar, cinnamon, and nuts in a small bowl.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle measuring about 12 x 9 inches. Brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle the filling mixture over the dough, pressing it in slightly. Roll up the dough like a jelly roll, starting at one long side. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll across into 12 equal slices. Arrange the rolls, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Allow to rise, covered, for at least 40 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until well risen and golden. While the buns are in the oven, prepare the glaze (and get the coffee started). Sift the confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Whisk in the melted butter and enough milk to make a thick but pourable mixture. When the buns are ready, remove from the oven. Pour the glaze over them and leave to set for a few minutes before devouring.

Why Best Buy Should Love and Embrace Amazon.com
As it stands, quite a few restrictions exist. Chances are, unless you're conveniently situated in a city such as New York, Los Angeles or Seattle, you will not even be able to access Amazon Locker. As Amazon continues to spend billions to build out its business, particularly fulfillment, expect that to change. Locker could end up a game changer.
Just last week (or was it the week before?) Best Buy (BBY) announced it had made its online price matching policy permanent. This obvious move triggered a round of applause from large numbers of folks who look in front of them and only see the obvious.
Yet again, Best Buy did what everybody expects. For this -- and other related and semi-related reasons -- it will continue to fail.
As I reported late last year, Best Buy employees repeatedly suggested (and I presume still suggest) partnership with Amazon , but management promptly shot this down. In fact, there's, at the very least, an unwritten edict expressly against this type of collaboration.
But why?
Seems to me Best Buy executives should do everything they can to form a meaningful relationship with Amazon.
Maybe Jeff Bezos would have no part of it, but I doubt that. He's not a close-minded guy. It seems like a no-brainer for Best Buy. You know you can't beat Amazon so find a way to kind of, sort of join them. Amazon Locker provides the ideal conduit.
During my last trip to Manhattan, I spotted an Amazon Locker at a 7-Eleven convenience store. You can't miss the thing. It's huge.
If I lived near that 7-Eleven, there's more than a half a chance I would have noted the existence of an Amazon Locker and used it. If I had one within walking distance of me here in Santa Monica, same thing. As far as I know, they only exist in Los Angeles, which is a drive (or bike ride) away.
At the moment, I go into a 7-Eleven sporadically. It's rare that I buy anything at one; however, when I am in New York or San Francisco, I almost always visit to use the ATM. My debit card works -- fee-free -- with 7-Eleven ATM machines. In those instances, something often catches my eye -- a bottle of water, two hot dogs for a buck or Colt 45 forty ounce chug -- and I make an unplanned purchase.

Size & Fit Details
Tall merino wool half-zip sweater
Tall merino wool half-zip sweater is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmoryJ from Comfortable, Soft Sweater My son loves this sweater. It's thin enough to wear to school, which gets hot, and also comfortable enough to feel as good as a sweatshirt but with a dressier look. He got both the dark blue and green and they are both lovely colors that go well with khakis. He's 6'2# and 205 and the XL Tall fit best.
Date published: 2015-01-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tasha from Perfect for tall slim I bought this for my boyfriend as a gift and the L fits him perfectly. He's 6'8" with a slim build and the sleeves and length are great. I ran it though the wash and it held up fine after air drying. I recommend this for any guy looking for a nice quality, lighter fall/winter sweater!

Buying Guide for Fridges and Freezers
Video Buying Guide
View our informative Buying Guides to help locate the perfect product for you!Watch Video Guide
Your fridge or fridge freezer is one of the most important appliances and one that your entire family will depend upon. Taking care to choose the right one can save you money and help make your investment a long term one.
Fridges and freezers come with a whole host of additional extras designed for your convenience and easier living. A good understanding of all the features that are available in fridges or fridge freezers can help you decide which make and model is right for your needs so it's worth taking some time to decide what you need.
Our fridge and freezer guide is designed to help you understand the features so that you are better equipped to make the right choices for your home.
Understanding Fridges
Fridges of all sizes, whether a slimline fridge, a mini fridge, under counter fridges or a large American fridge freezer all come with a range of standard and additional features.
Some come as standard, whereas others are a little more specialised and may even be considered as 'luxury' items which, if you are intent on sticking to a set budget, you may feel you can do without.
A salad crisper is useful if you enjoy regular salads and prefer them crispy and fresh. Adjustable shelves help you stack your fridge more efficiently. A versatile door compartment makes the most of the space available in your refrigerator door.
An auto defrost fridge has a frost free function to stop the fridge becoming iced up. The benefits of this feature are obvious: no one wants to have to defrost their fridge and of course, fresh food or drinks could be spoiled if they come into contact with frosted surfaces. The frost free function also helps the refrigerator run more efficiently.
A drink dispenser keeps drinks such as water cool, fresh and easy to obtain, generally at the touch of a button.
Understanding Freezers
Freezers come in a variety of options too including chest freezers that provide high capacity storage, upright freezers that can fit neatly into a kitchen, and a combined fridge freezer.
The amount of features that a freezer has largely depends on whether it is a basic or higher end model. Frost free freezers do not need defrosting so are a great option for those wishing to save time. Some models come with features such as an icemaker which dispenses perfectly formed ice cubes or crushed ice. Upright freezers and chest freezers are available in a range of sizes and finishes, including stainless steel, to suit most kitchen designs. Both styles have a large capacity for storing food.
Energy Ratings
New electrical appliances such as fridges and fridge freezers come with an energy rating that tells you how efficient the appliance is. Energy rating is graded from A to G with A being the most efficient and economical to run. Manufacturers grade their appliances with their energy rating following a series of standardised tests. Choosing an A rated fridge or fridge freezer means you are buying a more efficient appliance that will be cheaper to run and more environmentally friendly.

Old Siskiyou Highway Section To Be Repaired
A landslide on the Old Siskiyou Highway is causing the roadway to be closed Tuesday. The slide is near milepost six with detours adding about five minutes to the commute for those using Oregon Highway 273. Heavy spring rainfall is blamed for the slide while construction teams wait until the area is dry enough for repairs.

Panel: "Why Morality-Free Economic Theory Doesn't Work"
"Why Morality-Free Economic Theory Does Not Work: A Natural Law Perspective in the Wake of the Recent Financial Crisis." The recent worldwide financial crisis has revealed a serious flaw in current thinking about markets and morals. Contemporary legal theorists and political economists commonly assume that markets can (and even should) provide morally neutral zones for the exchange of goods among free persons, constrained by nothing other than the laws of contract and the imperatives of self-interest. Professor Bruni's lecture will challenge this dominant assumption, and will offer an alternative, 'natural law' perspective on the interrelatedness of markets, morals, and human sociality.
