Skip to comments.WTC Mosque, Meet the Auschwitz Nuns
Posted on 08/03/2010 9:50:38 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic
With every passing day, the dispute over the planned Islamic Center near Ground Zero grows more acrimonious. These feelings will probably only get worse today, when the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission is expected to remove another hurdle by ruling against landmark status for the undistinguished old building the center will replace.
So maybe it's time to look beyond the lawyers and landmark preservation commissions and regulatory agencies. When we do, it will be hard to find a better example than the grace and wisdom Pope John Paul II exhibited during a similar clash involving another hallowed site on whose grounds innocents were also murdered: Auschwitz.
In the 1980s, Carmelite nuns moved into an abandoned building on the edge of the former Nazi death camp to pray for the souls taken there. As with the dispute over the mosque near Ground Zero, the convent's presence escalated into a clash not only between different faiths but between competing historical narratives. As with today's clash too, it seemed intractable until the Polish pope stepped in.
For Jews, Auschwitz is a symbol of the Shoah, and the presence of a convent looked like an effort to Christianize a place of Jewish suffering.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Pope John Paul II wasn't afraid to bend to others' sensitivities.
The Nazi death camps weren't a Christian act but the 911 attacks were jihadist holy war against America.
It is hard to find anyone in NY who speaks English, NY puts their blessings on the one's who want us dead.
This is not at all the same. Neither the nuns nor the Catholic Church was attacking the Jews; in fact, this particular order lost several members (Jewish converts) to the Nazis. Many religious orders in France, Italy and Holland sheltered Jews; the Catholic Church gave refuge to Jews and certain Catholic countries, such as Spain, took in large numbers of refugees and protected other Jews in their embassies.
The Catholic Church did not attack the Jews. The Muslims did attack the US, and they still want to conquer us.
This mosque does not belong there.
The article is a poor analogy and not relevant to the topic at hand.
When are they going to allow a Neo-Nazi info booth at Auschwits?
Let's be frank here, the Mosque/Center, which is funded by untraced cash, will be a center of contact for future terrorists/rable-rousers that the FBI, CIA, etc... will have to infiltrate to keep an eye on things.
The mosque is also named after the Western capital of Islamic conquest.
A more apt question for the author is when can these nuns open up a convent in the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina?
He got that part right. Carmelites were being murdered en masse by pagan utopians 150 years before Auschwitz -- nor did Nazis shrink from martyring them as well, including at Auschwitz.
JPII caved to pressure by groups seeking to "own" the moral high ground of all who suffered at Nazi hands. Not his finest hour.
We know 6 million Jews were murdered in these camps but there were 7 or 8 million non Jews killed there too, I see nothing wrong with Catholic nuns on the site of these concentration camps.
However I feel strongly that these Muslims wanting to build a mosque at ground zero has nothing to do with wanting to comfort the souls of the )/11 victims. What greater insult than to have the WTC destroyed by muslims and then bulding a Mosque there. The idiot politicians of which frigging Bloomberg is the greatest would sell their own souls instead of standing up for America.
Or, occasionally, to trample them. The former actor was a bit of a ham all his life and never lost his weakness for playing to the house. He had a healthy ego and wasn't always shy about backing his own agenda.
First of all, it is a signed editorial at the Wall Street Journal published today. It is relevant. If you read the whole thing, McGurn is saying that the imams should prevail upon this group to move the mosque and cultural center to avoid stepping on raw feelings in NY. I'm sorry that you missed his point.
See #14. I totally agree with you on Auschwitz and the nuns, ExPat.
One of the problems here at FR is the requirement that we have to abbreviate articles from certian sources. Many people never click on the link to read the whole thing. I'm not accusing you of that, but I know that many do not.
The difference between editorial writing and news reporting is that the kernal of the article should be contained in the first sentence in a news article (who, what, when, where, why). An editorial has more latitude to roam around a topic before making its point in the last paragraph.
McGurn was aiming his admonition at the Muslim imam, not New Yorkers in general.
Not that I expect the highly charged public to pay any attention.
I have known several Eastern European Catholics who were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps. One recently died, age 95 — only survivor of it, from a well-to-do Polish Catholic family.
Moderate Muslims are a figment of the imagination, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
Exactly, the Nazi camps were the results of a humanist who did not believe all humans were created in the image of God but rather was strongly influenced by the relatively new "survival of the fittest" writings.
Can't say the same for you, Mom.
I don't like the anology either, and as a Catholic, I don't like the JP II caved, instead of explaining why Catholic Nuns had a right to be there. Saint Maximilian Kolbe was killed at Auschwitz and he was a Catholic Priest.
If the Cordoba Intiative really wants to bridge the cultural divide, they wouldn't be building at Ground Zero.
Number of Churches and Synagogues in Mecca: 0.
What do you do when people who hate this country run it and keep getting re-elected?
No one is saying that the Nazi death camps were of Christian doing. Far from it. We all know who committed 9-11, and who cheered the deed.
No one is saying that the Nazi death camps were of Christian doing. Far from it. We all know who committed 9-11, and who cheered the deed.
The Muslims were in league with Hitler during WWII. He promised the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem that he would deal with the Jews there after he dealt with them in Europe.
One of the problems, however, is that McGurn starts with a different premise. You really can't compare the Carmelites and the Muslims; Jews were "offended" by the Carmelites mostly because their self-proclaimed victimologist leaders (people like Abraham Foxman) told them they should be, he wanted Auschwitz to be solely Jewish (even though many other people, including Catholics, were put to death there), and in addition got on the left-wing bandwagon by making lots of completely false claims against the Catholic Church. Since reason was not involved in this - that is, there was absolutely no substance to his objections - I think the Carmelites and the Church did the right thing and accomodated him.
However, the situation with the Muslims is entirely different, and Islam is entirely different. Appealing to their better nature is not going to work: they take that as weakness, and they simply lie in response. The fact that this organization is called Cordoba House tells you all you need to know.
McGurn struck me as sadly naive, back in the old George Bush "Islam is a religion of peace" mode.

Stocks Mixed as P&G Forecast Offsets Yum, Boeing
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Disappointments from Procter & Gamble
The S&P 500 closed at 1,578.79. The index has gained 11% this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3% to 14,676.30, while the Nasdaq added 0.01% to 3,269.65.
Goldman Sachs, in a client report, said it expects markets to move higher into summer, telling investors to ignore the usual "sell in May and go away" mentality. The investment bank raised its equities forecast to "overweight" over the coming three months on expectations of an acceleration in global growth.
Despite the Goldman report, markets were weighed down by Procter & Gamble's sales forecast that fell short of expectations. The consumer goods manufacturer tumbled 5.9% to $77.12.
First Solar
Edwards Lifesciences was one of the heaviest decliners on the S&P 500, plunging 22% to $64.60 after the medical company on Tuesday cut its full-year outlook on sluggish sales of its transcatheter heart valves.
The Census Bureau reported that durable goods orders fell 5.7% in March after rising 5.7% in February. Orders excluding the transportation component slid 1.4%. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters, on average, estimated durable goods orders would fall 2.8% and that core durable goods orders would rise 0.5%.
Juniper Networks
"One of the main reasons for the market rally is the continued easing policies from the Federal Reserve ," Brian Amidei, HighTower Palm Desert's managing director and partner, said in an emailed comment. "This has allowed the markets to disregard some of the less than positive economic reports that we have seen over the last several months.
"We do not see the Fed changing its policy over the summer so we believe that after the short-term volatility we are seeing, markets will be higher at year's end," Amidei said.
In the interim, Amidei said that the market should consolidate over the next few weeks with a pullback in the 5% to 7% range from the S&P 500's record closing price of 1,593.37 on April 11 heading higher again.

nice with protein powder
Has slight aftertaste
Posted by blueberrysegments on May 15, 2014
It's really delicious, but it can give a little aftertaste with what I think it's a normal usage. Every drink I tried was not sweet with 4 drops, then at the fifth it got a slight part of the typical bitter stevia aftertaste.
Nice with hot drinks and to sweeten cakes
Posted by Reviewer2870084 on Sep 01, 2014
Ive tried different brands and forms of stevia and this brand is the best, vanilla cream and also english toffee tastes are really good and enough strong so u dont have to empty the bottle right away. No funny after taste. It tastes good with coffee, hot chocolate, also nice with plain yoghurt etc. Ive also used it to sweeten low-carb cakes and it does the job really well.
Muy buen producto
Posted by 4993332100887306325 on Oct 01, 2014
Aroma agradable a vainilla, aunque no 100% natural al olerlo. Líquido fluido no viscoso. Si no se excede uno en la dosis, no amarga como todos los endulzantes a base de stevia. Práctico dosificador cuentagotas, con 4-5 gotas para un café es suficiente (al menos para mí).
Posted by Reviewer1752466 on Jan 07, 2015
I use it in my coffee, but it does have a bit of an after taste.

Pretty tasty and smells good
Posted by Krisinsight on Aug 26, 2012
It is, after all, not sugar sweetened, so don't expect a sugary taste but it smells good and has a nice sweet taste when added to sparkling water. It made a lovely cream soda out of a simple can of LaCroix water.
Muy rico

As part of Secretary Clinton's Economic Statecraft agenda, every one of our diplomatic posts around the world and every office at the Department of State has been tasked with ensuring economics is at the center of our foreign policy. For the dedicated staff of the Bureau Economic and Business Affairs, this has always been our mission. And so, I am challenging my colleagues to implement the Secretary's vision through innovative approaches to persisting problems.
Today, I am introducing one small piece of that effort. Through a series of short videos, I will highlight key economic policy issues and the efforts of my Bureau to address them. The first is on our work helping countries address the problem of hunger and limited resources, through agricultural biotechnology. This also ties into the Secretary's goal of helping the private sector embrace development as a business opportunity.
In the coming weeks, I will release videos on topics including Internet Governance, Partnership for Growth, and Corporate Social Responsibility. Check out my facebook page for those releases.

Love the pre oiled filters from No Toil. Makes life easy. Just open , install and ride!
No Toil Pre-Oiled Dual Stage Air Filter

No messing around with trying to oil the thing.
Works well.
The airbox mating foam of these filters is more narrow than most filters I've used, but it does seal well. I use the No Toil rim grease to make the dreaded job of cleaning air filters less painful. Durability of the foam tabs that attach to the backfire screen is suspect, but if you're careful those tabs should last just fine.
Restricts airflow greatly, any other brand of filter oil or cleaner will eat the filter, even no toils own oil seemed to eat through the filter much more quickly than most high dollar filters. I wouldn't own a no toil filter or any other product again, twin air is a much more quality brand!
I'm lazy so I just by a new one of these for every ride, when I get about 20 of them I wash them all, oil them and store them in a big zip lock, then I have 20 filters ready to go!
Ready to go out of the bag, can't get much easier than that.
No toil never disappoints, and it's always nice to have an oiled dual stage filter ready to go.
I'll admit it, bottom line is I'm lazy. If you're willing to pay the price and willing to accept a shorter life span out of this filter than one you clean and oil multiple times, then this product is great. I'm lazy so I'm willing to pay the price for the convenience.
Great filter and a Darn Good Price Too!
These are great when you need a fresh filter, fast. They clean up well with the NoToil system and can be reused.
Does the job.
No issues, use them on all my bikes
Great Filter system! Easy to oil, easy to clean, and Biodegradable chemicals.
Best air filter on the market
It's an awesome filter the first use, but after every washing they start to deteriorate. In my opinion it's worth it to buy a UNI or Twin air if you ride a lot. I usually get less than 5 washes after these but I'm a maintenance freak. They are cheap and in stock at a lot of shops/motosport/online that I use, so they still get run from time to time.
So easy to install, took only seconds. I got an extra filter for each bike so I can clean them at my leisure.
Always uses them never had a problem, for my yz250 an little dudes kx85.
Awesome air filter for the price! Works just as great as the big name company filters. Would highly recommend.
Once you use the NoToil system, you won't go back to using harsh, toxic solvents and petroleum-based filter oils.

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Let the Bible be your guide for your 'trip' through 2013
Do you like road trips? Part of the intrigue is the trip itself, but usually the greatest excitement lies in the destination. Perhaps it's to see a new grandchild, a military spouse, a distant friend or to go on a long dreamed of perfect vacation.
About a year ago I began a long trip. Among the things I wanted with me were a map, flashlight and phone. Throughout my trip there were times when the roads were well marked, the shoulder was solid and wide and traffic moved smoothly.
At times, however, the road became narrow and traffic squeezed into one lane. I crawled for what seemed like an eternity until it widened again. Sometimes there were hills and hairpin curves and occasionally terrible ruts that threatened to destroy my car. Sometimes the road became a trail and I feared that I might lose my way. Other times the road took me to the peak of a mountain, and while the scenery was exquisite, it appeared that the road ahead would drop into nothingness. Sometimes there were dropoffs on both sides of the road causing me to grip the wheel more tightly. Sometimes the car broke down and plans changed while it was repaired.
The weather also varied. Many days I enjoyed sunny skies and the miles melted away behind me. There were days when storms battered my car with rain, wind and driving ice and snow. Sometimes it was so slippery that I skated tensely down the road and sometimes I feared I would get lost when fog hid the road signs and landmarks. During those days weariness made it hard to stay alert and I wished I could stop for a while.
That was how the trip through 2012 was for me and I'm sure your road through 2012 had its easy and hard places as well. The new year, which just began, will have its perfect days but we all know that there will be stormy days full of troubles, some anticipated and some shocking in their suddenness. How can we prepare for that?
Just as the map and flashlight can help us find our way, our Bible can be our map and flashlight on our journey through the next year. Psalm 119: 105 tells us "Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Just as a phone can keep us in contact with loved ones, prayer can be our most helpful connection as we seek guidance and give praises to God who travels with us if we ask.
"Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise." James 5:13
As we travel through 2013 let's not focus on possible bad times but instead focus on God and our ultimate destination, heaven. We are not alone on this earthly journey. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10. He is just a prayer away. "For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, 'Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:13.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Cinnamon - that most popular of spices - comes from the bark of an evergreen tree. Cinnamon's sweet, spicy and warm fragrance adds pungent sweetness to your favorite baked goodies. You can also use it to add a depth of flavor to savory dishes as well.
Suggested Use
Cinnamon is the world's most popular baking spice. You'll recognize its familiar taste and aroma in cakes, breads, cookies, breads and pies, dumplings, puddings, pastries and ice cream. It's common in savory dishes, too--soups, chutneys, catsup, pickles, squash, vinegars and meat glazes--and hot drinks like cider, coffee, tea and cocoa.
Cinnamon complements fruits like apricots, cherries, apples, blueberries and oranges. Vegetables, too--especially carrots, spinach and onions--are enhanced by cinnamon's pungent sweetness.
In combination with other spices (like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice, and black pepper), cinnamon shows up in a wide array of spice blends, including pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, cider blends, five spice powder, curries, pickling spice, even popcorn seasoning!
I have used ceylon cinnamon for years, buying it from Mountain Rose and Penzeys Spices, and I must say that this one from Frontier is the best I have ever tasted. The flavor is stronger than either penzeys or mountain rose, but it has the same delicate vanilla-citrus smell and flavor of good quality Ceylon. This is the first bag of Frontier's ceylon I've bought, so I have no way of knowing why some other reviewers thought the quality was bad. But I will say this: the 1st bag of ceylon I ever bought was tan in color, not bright like cassia cinnamon, and had no odor. I thought it must be bad, so I put it away, forgot about it, and ordered one from Penzeys. Lo and behold, the Penzeys stuff was exactly the same! I then realized that ceylon was very different from cassia, and wound up using both bags and enjoying the delicate flavor in coffee. I use ceylon for my brain (it has been shown to dissolve tau tangles in the brain, so warding off Alzheimer's) and I have found it very effective in increasing brain sharpness. But I also love the taste of ceylon, and because it has only negligible coumarin content, I can use several tsp a day. One word of warning: I have also bought supposed ceylon from another online spice store (my spice sage) which although it has good quality spices in other categories, sent me a cinnamon that clearly was not ceylon, tasted like a variety of cassia with its sharp taste, and yet they insisted it was ceylon. I am definitely going to order Frontier ceylon again, and I am thankful to Iherb that their price for this product is lower than elsewhere.
The first time I was to order, I became a little Worried I was making a Poor Choice, based on the other Reviewers, who'd stated it was "too mild," or "less Flavorful" --though Correct in both counts, they Should've also Said How much Better-Tasting this Subtle Favor imparts to Breakfast, Coffee, Yogurt, even Indian Crock Pot Meals, (in home-made Garan Masala). Additionally, it lasts a Looooong Time. And there are so many Uses for it; I even add it to Reheated Coffee, w/ a touch of the Madagascar Vanilla, and the Coffee Tastes Great again, w/o having its Taste distorted by strong Cinnamon Flavor. When I was running out of it, I bought the Reg. Organic Cinnamon, at the local Store, and Wow! what a surprise in the difference in Flavo! I no longer liked that Cinnamon's Strong smell and taste. If anything, This Subtle Ceylon Cinnamon's Flavor is Highly Desirable, and once tried, you 'll likely never go back to the Stronger-smelling "Fake" cinnamon, (Read the Info on Cinnamon).
Vry Nice

All stories about Health
Haiti: Responding to cholera
Indonesia: Bringing healthy street food to Tegal Alur
"Hi friends! Come to My Child's Café… choose and get various healthy snacks here," said a catchy jingle that played during over the grand opening of My Child Café and its healthy kitchen in West Jakarta's impoverished Tegal Alur neighborhood.
'Let's hope it won't take another earthquake to continue this work'
It's the beginning of summer here in southern Chile. The weather is spectacular and everyone has something to be happy about. Schoolchildren look forward to the end of classes and the start of their long vacation.
Indonesia: Helping Indonesian mothers keep their babies healthy
Indonesia: Cleaning up Kalideras
In West Jakarta, the kampung (or community) of Kalideras had no choice but to go to the toilet in the ditches that led to the adjacent canal, or directly into the canal itself. But in 2009, Mercy Corps joined with local government and the community to help clean up.
Indonesia: Unbreakable
Haiti: Using art as a vehicle to help Haiti
Pakistan: Health clinics on wheels
I met 25-year-old Sahiba and her two-year-old son Rehan while they were waiting patiently to see a doctor at one of Mercy Corps mobile health clinics in Sindh province. Rehan had a bad cough for several days, and his mother was alarmed.
Pakistan: The chronicles of "Chlorine Baba"
Munawar Abbass is serious about water. Munawar is a Mercy Corps water coordinator, and he supervises a compact but complex water-processing plant that is keeping 8,000 flood survivors alive. He's been at it for more than three months, first in the Swat Valley and now in Sindh Province.

2 p.m.
Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, as you know, I have decided not to run in the next election and my replacement, Earl Dreeshen, has been chosen to run for the Conservative Party.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the constituents of my riding of Red Deer who have, at each election, given me an increased mandate for each of five elections. At close to 80% of the vote, I guess I was afraid to try it one more time.
For the past 15 years, my constituents have treated Nicole and me with unbelievable courtesy and respect and have thanked us profusely for our service. These thanks are what kept both of us going over the years.
I will always remember my first question when I stood as foreign affairs critic for the Reform Party and how André Ouellet was so kind to me.
I will remember the stained glass windows and the feeling of honour in representing my constituents in this place.
I will remember the Monday to Thursday speech on Kyoto when I tried to tell the Liberal government and Canadians how hard it would be to hit the targets by 2012 and how we needed to start now.
I will remember the scrums, news conferences and interviews with people like Don Newman, Mike Duffy and Julie Van Dusen. Honestly, they treated me fairly. Not many politicians can say that.
I want to thank my staff in Ottawa and in Red Deer, especially Louise, who has been with my for 15 years. I also want to thank my constituents, Albertans and Canadians.
Grant Park High School
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, April 2, the students of Grant Park High School in Winnipeg participated in the world's biggest lesson. I was privileged to attend as a witness.
Along with potentially millions of students around the world, 400 young people at Grant Park attempted to set a Guinness record for participating in the world's largest lesson. In the same half hour, these students learned about the necessary components of quality education for children around the world, the need for trained teachers, for adequate resources, enough textbooks and access to schools where they live.
They learned that one in four women world-wide cannot read or write. They also learned that if a girl in Africa completes primary school, her income has the potential of doubling. She also can reduce by half the chances of catching HIV or AIDS. And, they learned much more about the responsibilities of being citizens of the world.
Coupled with the lessons of the classroom, two students, Austin MacKay and Kyle Geronimo, produced a rap video to reinforce the importance of accessible quality education for students world-wide.
We have to give congratulations to Grant Park for a lesson well learned.
Gabrielle Savard

2 p.m.
Paul Crête Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, Ms. Gabrielle Savard passed away last fall at the age of 95. She was the very first woman to serve as committee clerk in the House of Commons.
In June 1961, she set a precedent in the House of Commons by becoming the first woman to serve as a committee clerk. Originally from Rivière-du-Loup, Ms. Savard was well versed in parliamentary procedure and fluently bilingual. Ms. Savard was a well-rounded individual and a staunch supporter of women and the French language throughout her career. Her courage and perseverance propelled her to the top of the senior civil service in Ottawa.
Ms. Gabrielle Savard was a pioneer who proved that women can be highly competent in areas formerly reserved for men.
National Volunteer Week
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, this is National Volunteer Week, a chance to pay tribute to a precious resource in our communities.
Much of what we take for granted is delivered to us by volunteers. They serve on boards and service clubs, help out in schools, churches, health care, arts and culture, and minor sports. The list is endless. Volunteers fundraise, feed and comfort.
Just today, five Canadian Red Cross volunteers from the Sault Ste. Marie and District branch left for Thunder Bay to work in shelters set up for evacuees from Fort Albany.
This weekend, Johnson township will pay tribute to coaches and other volunteers helping in an outstanding recreation program.
This Friday, I will attend a Volunteer Sault Ste. Marie and United Way dinner honouring 337 volunteers, outstanding representatives of many more who give of their time and talents.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma and I want to thank them.

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, the government has always supported dialogue between China and representatives of the Dalai Lama. We have always encouraged a peaceful resolution of differences; one that protects the rights of the Tibetans.
The recent unrest in Tibet has demonstrated the urgent need for a resolution. This government consistently pressed for dialogue between the Chinese government and the representatives of the Dalai Lama during this crisis.
This government welcomes China's recent decision to meet representatives of the Dalai Lama. We are pleased that it has acknowledged that it is time for dialogue.
As always, Canada is ready to support a meaningful, substantial dialogue. An early, peaceful resolution is in the interests of all.
Public Transit
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Sukh Dhaliwal Newton—North Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, the government of British Columbia has announced an ambitious plan to double public transit ridership by 2020.
It calls for investments in four rapid transit rail lines, nine new rapid bus lines and upgraded clean buses. In my riding, the old inter-urban rail corridor has been protected for the future.
The transit plan will reduce congestion, decrease greenhouse gases and lower energy use.
The province has committed $5 billion to the plan and is calling for the federal government to commit only $3 billion.
I, along with my constituents, Cory Hollick and Divia Matoo, who are here in Ottawa today, urge the federal government to get behind British Columbia so that it can become a world leader in public transit.
Clean Energy Initiatives
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Ted Menzies Macleod, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I inform members about the clean energy initiatives in my riding of Macleod.
Macleod is among the most forward-thinking ridings in the country when it comes to using renewable energy. Hundreds of wind turbines produce almost 2 million megawatt hours of electricity, enough to power than 100,000 homes each year.
The Waterton hydroelectric plant produces a further 14,000 megawatt hours of electricity every year.
In addition, Okotoks boasts North America's first solar powered community.
By using renewable energies, such as hydroelectricity, wind energy and solar power, my riding is lowering its energy costs and is helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Alberta and across the country.
I would like to congratulate my constituents for embracing these environmental initiatives and I applaud the Conservative government for encouraging the use of clean energy.
Jessica Bossé-Charland
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure today to introduce Jessica Bossé-Charland, from Warwick, the winner of the second "MP for a day" competition for students of the Cégep de Victoriaville.
In a course entitled "Espace québécois et méthodologie", participants had to discuss Quebec's territorial and political claims both inside and outside Canada. Jessica's analysis was the best. This non-partisan competition seeks to foster interest in politics and helps to raise awareness among young people about the realities of life as a parliamentarian, to showcase the work politicians do and politics in general, always, of course, with a critical eye.
I would like to thank Mr. Jean-François Léonard, a political science and geography professor at the Cégep de Victoriaville, with whom I set up the competition. My thanks also go to the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste du Centre-du-Québec and La Capitale Centre-du-Québec for their contributions to the $500 scholarship awarded to Jessica, who is a young woman with a promising future.
Statements by Members
April 29th, 2008 / 2:05 p.m.
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, 200 years ago, people opposed to technological progress were known as Luddites.
Today's Luddites are called the NDP.
In 2004, the NDP claimed it wanted to support "family farms by expanding incentives for ethanol as a transitional fuel".
In 2006, its party platform even called for Canadian ethanol to make up 10% of vehicle fuel by 2010.
Bill C-33 would create a mandate to kickstart a biofuel economy but what are the NDP members doing? They are voting against what they campaigned on two years ago.
The head of the UN environment program stated, "We have enough food on this planet to feed everyone".
Canadians see biofuels as an important part of a diversified economy. The Saskatchewan and Manitoba provincial NDP leaders support biofuels, while the federal NDP opposes them.
The NDP has turned its back on farmers and on its own provincial leaders. The NDP refuses to support value added for farm families, stands against progress and cannot even be consistent from one year to the next.
It is no wonder Saskatchewan has turned its back on the NDP.
National Volunteer Week
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, this is National Volunteer Week and I would like to recognize and thank all Canadians who take their time to get involved in their communities as volunteers. The theme of this year's volunteer week is "From Compassion to Action".
The 12 million volunteers in Canada are motivated by their strong desire to help others and to improve their country. Many of the programs and events that we take for granted, like community health care, recreation and sport, arts and cultural events, and yes, even political campaigns, would not be able to function without volunteers.
During this volunteer week I encourage all Canadians to thank the people who make a difference in their communities and to consider getting involved as a volunteer. There are over 160,000 charities in Canada who could benefit from their compassion and their action.
Bloc Québécois
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to unmask the puppet show featuring the Bloc members so that the stage manager will put an end to his hypocrisy immediately.
The truth is that the players are not happy with how the Bloc leader is treating them, but he can no longer stop them from talking about how badly they are being treated.
Some have said that the Bloc leader bosses his troops around like a drill sergeant, and others have talked about an unhealthy environment where verbal violence reigns and lack of respect is an everyday reality. Some members of the Bloc have even been denied the right to ask questions for five years.
Given what we know about this little shop of horrors, it is clear that the Bloc has a double-standard approach to politics. Before trying to teach others a lesson, the Bloc leader should take a look behind him.
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Olivia Chow Trinity—Spadina, ON
Mr. Speaker, there is a global food crisis. Rice, wheat, gasoline and oil are too expensive for ordinary families, leaving many worried about their future.
Canada used to be a land of hope for those fleeing hunger, oppression and poverty.
In 1847 the Irish potato famine was at its worst. People starved and over a million died, and Canada opened its doors. Toronto welcomed over 40,000 Irish in those years. Many were sick and starving, but they helped build a great city, a great country, as did other waves of immigrants, over the years from every part of the globe, seeking a better life.
Under the proposed new immigration rules, the Irish would not have been welcomed in Canada. Nor would others fleeing famine and despair. The Conservatives would have branded them as losers, not winners.
Today we face the impact of climate change and a severe food crisis. We need to open our doors, not close them. We must not give the minister the key to lock families out. Let us open Canada--

Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, May 8 marks Israel's 60th anniversary of independence. Like Canada, Israel is a nation born of many people and backgrounds. It is bilingual and plays a pre-eminent role in international development.
Despite an ongoing onslaught by Israel's neighbours, Israel not only survived but flourished.
I am proud of Canada's record and of the record of the Liberal Party when it comes to supporting Israel.
Today, as it has in the past, Israel faces a number of threats, from despots and terrorists who aim for its destruction to boycotts that claim to support peace, but instead only encourage further mistrust and misunderstanding.
Israel and Israelis should know that Canadians stand by them through the tough times and during the celebrations.
I ask all members to join me in wishing Israel a happy 60th birthday and hope that the coming years bring the peace that Israelis have prayed for since Israel's birth.
Quebec Mining Week
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Marc Lemay Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to use Quebec Mining Week as an opportunity to acknowledge the expertise that this industry has developed in my riding. Pardon the pun, but the miners are a gold mine for Abitibi—Témiscamingue and their expertise has acquired world renown.
Traditionally, the regional mining industry has been characterized by underground mining of precious and base metal deposits. Today, the Abitibi—Témiscamingue region has become a leader in technological development in exploration, mining and mine tailings management.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I am pleased to commend those who are making mining a booming industry.

Can Michael Symon ever go wrong? No little ones on Saturday so the better half and I finally hit Bar Syomon for some dinner. the atmosphere was great and reminds me of THe B Spot here in Beachwood. Small, casusl and great service.
We tried the Mussels with white ale, chilies, garlic & parsley. Excellent choice.
better half had the slow cooked pork shank with soft polenta. The pork fell right off of the bone and the polenta was fantastic. She had a Pomagranite martini to go along with it. I had the Zorba sandwich and it was great. I paired it up with St Bernardus Abt 12, Quadrupel, from Belgium with 10.5% alchohol.
For dessert we tried their Banana and Peanut Butter Sorbet.
All in for 2 around $70 with tip.
The better half wants to go back again next time we can unload the kiddos.

While in Shanghai last year, President Obama described the United States' relationship with China, saying "today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time." Forging strong partnerships to confront global challenges has been a hallmark of President Obama's and Secretary Clinton's diplomacy. Their efforts not only further cooperation between governments, but also between the private and public sectors -- and, most importantly, they help build stronger people-to-people relationships.
On Wednesday, August 25, U.S. Chief of Protocol Ambassador Capricia Penavic Marshall hosted a U.S.-China business roundtable discussion with Jon Huntsman, Ambassador of the United States to the People's Republic of China, Zhang Yesui, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to the United States, Chinese and American business leaders, and senior members of the Obama Administration. Focused on the economy, the vibrant and productive discussion helped develop a greater mutual understanding among both the government and private sector leaders in attendance. The roundtable also laid an important foundation towards future partnerships, and helped extend the U.S.-China relationship beyond the halls of government.
The U.S.-China business roundtable was organized by the Office of the Chief of Protocol's Diplomatic Partnerships division. Established in 2009, Diplomatic Partnerships seeks to foster international goodwill and cultivate the relationship between the Diplomatic Corps and the people and institutions of the United States through an exchange of ideas, cultures and traditions. Diplomatic Partnerships pursues this goal through a broad range of unique programs and events, such as a recent trip by the international Diplomatic Corps to Chicago, and an evening of food and discussion co-hosted at the Blair House with Mexican Ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan, and his wife Mrs. Veronica Valencia-Sarukhan.
Timothy B. in Massachusetts writes:
In light of last night's disturbing and revealing story on "60 Minutes" on CBS regarding Chinese spies stealing our critical technologies and defense plans in Asia in concert with alleged traitors, a complete top down re-evaluation and security assessment of our strategic partnership programs with China and throughout the region is in order for our entire government.
Our first line of defense truly is a vigilant State Department and our diplomats.
We cannot tolerate partnerships of political expediency based upon deceit and incitement and enticement of our government and its employees to treason.

@Sarah Nolan,
That was last year...
Do the Chinese have any clue what will happen to their relations with the American people if they continue to support the North Korean government and NK starts a shooting war like they have been threatening to do of late?
Their military won't talk to our's, seem to oppose having good relations with us, and I haven't even got to toxic products or "currancy manipulation" yet as an incentive for the American consumer to initiate an "eternal boycot" when we won't be caught dead bying anything "made in China"...period.
Now I would love to see better relations on all levels and I salute your efforts, but perhaps you could tell me what the protocol would be for sending a bill to China for what it has cost us over the last 50 years maintaining peace and security on the Korean peninsula, now that 'lil Kim - through Chinese long term support- has become a nuclear terrorist , threatening to use them?
I figure it may be the only way to get them to "act responsibly" on the international stage.
Until they do, their economic outlook is bleak with us, because if they anger the American public any further than they have, we don't need this government's approval to bankrupt them.
I hope you'll help folks @ State figure out a diplomatic way to open their eyes to reality.
Seems you're getting a piece of the public thinking here in the comment section, and I know all this is probably outside your job description, but I am curious as to what the protocol would be in sending a bill to a "sponsor of terror" nation for "war reparations" for a conflict still ongoing technicly. Now that 'lil Kim has ripped up the Armistace agreement.
Am I the only one who see's this relationship with China heading into the ditch at a moment's notice as soon as 'lil Kim starts a shooting war with the USA?
We arn't "buying the same horse twice." as Sec. Gates put it.
Seems China is stuck in "stupid mode", and I don't know what else to suggest that might wise them up to the possibilities they can look forward to, so long as they are.

There you go rattling your sabers again. No more wars. The American public is fed up with your wars. Hire mercenaries for you're next misadventure.

Who's war are you refering to OC?
The one bin laden started with us, the one Aminidijad wants to start with Israel, or the one 'lil Kim threatens to start up again in Asia?
I'm just wondering if we can bill folks for contributing materially to stupidity...why would you have a problem with me trying to resolve the national debt in this manner and create a safer world to live in in the proccess?
I fail to see any merit to your objection of my methodology to resolve crisis and establish lasting peace when that is in China's interests as well, so let's make it easy for them to do the right thing, eh?
For the sake of peace.
Things stay the way they are OC, and 'lil Kim is sure to make a fatal mistake with us, and folks are rightly questioning the wisdom of going back to the 6 party talks under the circumstances, check today's DoS briefing transcript.
Then there's an expert's opinion that clarifies why I think sending a bill now is totally appropriate if it will wake China up to wyhat "responsibility" is all about.
"China is backing this regime to the bitter end and then supporting the transition to Kim's successor to ensure China's interests," says Victor Cha, a former U.S. negotiator in the talks who is now a professor at Georgetown University.
"The biggest negative impact the China-North Korea relationship has on China is that the U.S, Japan and South Korea all request that China be responsible for North Korea's 'irrational behaviors,'" the newspaper wrote. "However, China has no ability to shoulder such responsibility." source; The state-run Xinhua news agency
Article excerpt source; Wall Street Journal
Well the American public has news for the Chinese state run media, in that we can and will hold China liable for what North Korea does next.
As should our government.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Very informative interview with Robert Hormats, Under Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs, about U.S. relations with China;
What was missing was an assesment about how security issues with NK might affect future investment and trade with China, and I think sometimes that job descriptions and compatmentalization make it hard to address because these are treated as two separate issues when the reality is that they are interdependant in multiple aspects of cause and effect, if one accepts as a "given" that investment is a coward in the face of uncertainty.
I don't think it's a matter of "turning inward" that we Americans should be worried about, as I don't think that's going to happen in Congress. What I worry about is that we won't convince China in time to take responsibility for the "Frankenstien" they've helped create in North Korea, and as long as they refuse to accept reality and deal with it effectively, reality will ultimately deal with them in the form of lost revenue and respect from the American people.
What Congress does this fall will be simply reflective of this.
See, one cannot claim to be seeking "stability" economicly or otherwise when one supports a source of vast instability as China has been doing for a long time with North Korea, to the tune of billions and 100's of billions of US taxpayer dollars, and probably into the trillions over the last 50 years, invested in keeping the peace on the Korean Peninsula. There's more than a trade imbalance going on here that needs addressing.
Rather than impose economic sanctions, I think simply sending China a bill (payable immediately) for expenses incurred over the last 50 years will do more to resolve these issues than anything else, in a way China cannot fail to understand.
I would therefore welcome any thoughts on this that the Dept of State might have on whether this idea would prove effective in getting them to be a responsible player on the world stage.
As yet they really don't have a cost comparison for irresponsaibility, and maybe that's the problem in their failure of understanding.
If leverage is to be applied, one must find the right fulcrum point to be efficiant about the heavy lifting involved diplomaticly, I believe. And diplomacy hasn't found that point yet apparently.

On the Tenth Anniversary of the Assumption of Constitutional Powers
Amman, Jordan
8 June 2009
Prayers and peace be upon our master, the honest Arab Hashemite Prophet,
Dear Loyal Jordanian Brothers and Sisters,
Peace, God's mercy and blessings be upon you,
I thought I would speak to you today as you celebrate ten years since I assumed the primary responsibility for leading Jordan. I am pleased on this occasion to salute and convey my pride and my appreciation for each and every one of you, teacher and student, soldier and farmer, worker and employee, and to everyone who contributes to the building of our nation.
I thank you deeply for standing by my side and supporting me in facing the challenges and realising achievements. For, I have drawn my determination from your determination and strength from your will. And in the promising Jordanian youth, I find my hope.
We have all learned in the school of Al Hussein the Builder, may he rest in peace, that responsibility is work and devotion, and serving you and working to achieve your ambitions is an honour unparalleled, except by the honour of sacrificing one's self for our dear Jordan.
My field visits to you in the Badia, the countryside, the cities and camps were opportunities to understand your concerns, and your high morale lifted my spirits. This is what has given me determination and strength to achieve your ambitions and provide the conditions for a decent life for you: for you are the people of dignity and pride. And to me, your dignity comes before all else. You are my family and my tribe, who have withstood testing times, and have said, "I will do anything for Jordan."
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The past ten years have been a continuation of the development process initiated by our forefathers. Through this process, much has been achieved, and we have built on what was established by the founding father and Al Hussein, may they rest in peace. And, thank God, Jordan today is stronger and better than ever. We have surpassed many challenges and difficult circumstances. This is Jordan: the Jordan whose challenges and hardships make it stronger and more steadfast and more determined to reach the highest achievements, even with minimal resources and capabilities.
The responsibility of building the nation and achieving comprehensive development is not solely of the leader, but is a duty of every individual, and every citizen bears part of the responsibility. Youth should have the biggest role in building the future of our nation.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The primary priority was and remains improving citizens' standards of living and addressing problems of poverty and unemployment and providing the best health and educational services to citizens. We have based our vision for Jordan's future on investing in Jordanians in terms of their education and training; on providing job opportunities for all youth; on institutionalising participation in decision making; on applying decentralised management and fostering the principles of transparency, accountability and responsibility and achieving justice and equality for all.
Despite all that we have achieved over the past 10 years, there is more work to be done and still more to achieve.
We are determined to comprehensively review and evaluate our experience of the past years. This is essential to avoid the pitfalls and inefficiencies that may have occurred and to revive the role and performance of institutions so as to accelerate the process of reform, modernisation and development, whose results are felt by citizens and will make Jordan a strong and prosperous nation.
Brothers and Sisters,
Our democratic process is the only insurance of Jordanians' human rights and their freedom and dignity. And only by adhering to the spirit of the Constitution can we protect our advance from regression or deviation from the path. And I have said before that work and dedication are the measure of good citizenship and national belonging and that protecting national unity is a sacred duty that supersedes all other considerations.
As for my comrades in the armed forces and security institutions, I send my greetings and pride and appreciation to every soldier, non-commissioned officer and officer in every station. They are the symbol of sacrifice, devotion and belonging. They are the guardians of this nation and the banner of Jordan that will continue to wave as high as the peaks of Jordan's mountains, with dignity and integrity, just as the heads of Jordanians will bow to no one except God.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Jordan remains the Jordan of Arabism and Islam, loyal to its message and Arab and Islamic principles. It will remain loyal to the Palestinian cause, for it is the cause of Jordan and Jordanians, just as it is the cause of the Palestinians. Our sons have been martyred, just as theirs have. We have shared our daily bread with them, and we have borne with them burdens that were beyond our capacity to bear. And it is the Palestinians' right to enjoy our continued support until they establish their independent state on Palestinian soil; for the Palestinians are our family and our brothers, and we are closest to them in blood ties, in suffering and fate.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Achieving these lofty goals depends on our will, work and sacrifice, and you are the people of will, of determination and of sacrifice. I am confident that with you and through you, hand in hand, we will build the Jordan of the future, impenetrable and prosperous. The Jordan we desire for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. The Jordan where every human being enjoys security, freedom and a decent life. The Jordan that is a testament to the Jordanian will and dignity. Where the Jordanian is stronger than all challenges. Where the Jordanian labours and proudly holds his head high even while he may suffer from poverty and need. Because for the Jordanian, dignity is dearer and more cherished than anything in this world.
God bless you all.
Peace, God's mercy and blessings be upon you.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Japanese Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto, and Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa participated in the U.S.-Japan Security Consultative Committee meeting, known as the 2+2, at the Department of State on June 21, 2011. Secretary Clinton discussed a wide range of bilateral, regional, and global issues, and celebrated the U.S.-Japan partnership.
Secretary Clinton said, "For more than 50 years, the alliance between Japan and the United States has been the cornerstone of security in the Asia Pacific region. Our agenda today, embodied in the documents that we have just released, reflects the breadth and depth of our alliance. We are cooperating more closely on a wider range of issues and challenges than ever before.
"It has been more than three months since the tragic events of March 11th left tens of thousands of people dead or missing, and hundreds of thousands homeless. The Japanese people have shown remarkable strength in the face of this unprecedented crisis. All Americans have been proud to stand with you and support your efforts to recover. Today, we discussed our countries' ongoing work together and reaffirmed our commitment to maintain these efforts for as long as they are needed.
"We also made important progress on several initiatives that will enhance our ability to defend Japan and respond to a variety of threats to the security of the Asia Pacific region. For example, we explored ways to broaden and deepen our cooperation on defense technologies. As Secretary Gates will describe, we also took steps to reduce the impact of our defense presence on the communities in Okinawa.
"We discussed a range of regional and global issues. On North Korea, we remain committed to deterring further provocative behaviors by North Korea, supporting a North-South dialogue, and promoting the complete and peaceful denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We talked about our efforts to improve regional cooperation in a variety of multilateral forums and through a trilateral dialogue with India. On global issues, we discussed our joint efforts to advance peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan, ensure Iran's compliance with its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and bring security against the pirates to the waters off the Horn of Africa.
"But overall, we really celebrated the mutual respect and shared values that have served us so well for the past 50 years. As the U.S.-Japan alliance enters its second half century, it remains indispensable to the peace, security, and economic dynamism of the Asia-Pacific Region, and I was very honored to have this opportunity to host our colleagues and discuss these very important issues together."
You can read the Secretary's complete remarks here.
Carla in Kansas writes:
Japan is a good allie, but I do not see them being a major regional power to stop potential conflicts. First their military is to small to deter other countries ie North Korea, and their economy is severely hampered. South Korea and India have to become better major regional powers to deter agression. This would be good for the region, but I would be oposed to these nations becoming to powerful.

For the annual Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Program, Union College will host Eric Elnes Ph.D., author of the forthcoming book, Gifts of the Dark Wood: Seven Paths Beyond Religious Certainty that Point the Way Home.
While on campus, Elnes will explore two of the gifts from his book in two separate lectures. The first will be "The Gift of Uncertainty," which will take place Monday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. in Conference Rooms A, B and C of the Patridge Campus Center. The second, "The Gift of Failure," will take place the following morning in Conway Boatman Chapel at 9:30. Both lectures are free and open to the public.
According to the Rev. David Miller, college minister at Union, Elnes said the Dark Wood is place where "you meet God."
"The ancient Christian mystics understood the Dark Wood not as punishment for sin, but as the central context in which revelation takes place," Miller said. "Consequently, they remembered and experienced the Dark Wood differently, as a place where one receives strange and wondrous gifts whose value vastly exceeds whatever hardships are encountered there."
The Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Program was established in fall of 1969 by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Staley and Judge and Mrs. H. H. Haynes and is a project of the Thomas F. Staley Foundation. The foundation seeks to bring distinguished scholars to campuses across the nation who can clearly communicate the Christian gospel to students. For more information about this event, contact Miller at 606-546-1291.

S&P 500 Moves Higher on Healthcare Surge
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Healthcare stocks led U.S. stock markets higher on Tuesday, buoyed by a better-than-expected increase in U.S. factory orders in February and gains by European markets.
The S&P 500 closed 0.52% higher at 1,570.25, led by Humana
U.S. factory orders increased 3% in February on greater demand for cars and aircraft. The uptick followed a 2% decline in January.
The Dow closed up 0.61% to 14,662.01 while the Nasdaq finished ahead by 0.48% to 3,254.86.
"Clearly, stocks have had an exceptional run to start the year and handily outperformed bonds," Russ Koesterich, BlackRock's global chief investment strategist, said in a weekly investment note late Monday. "We certainly don't expect this pace of gains to continue, but even after the first-quarter rally, stocks still look inexpensive compared to fixed income alternatives, so we would continue to advocate overweight positions in equities."
Health care stocks rose on Tuesday, a day after the U.S. government reversed a proposal to reduce a key Medicare payment rate. DaVita HealthCare Partners led the group, jumping 6.1% to $127.20.09. UnitedHealth advanced 4.7% to $61.74.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was falling 8/32, lifting the yield to 1.863%. The dollar was up 0.24%, according to the U.S. dollar index.
May crude oil futures added 12 cents to settle at $97.19 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
BGC Partners
U.S. automakers, including Ford
The FTSE in London closed higher by 1.23% on Tuesday and the DAX in Germany added 1.9% on modest bailout terms for Cyprus and a better-than-expected eurozone manufacturing sector report.
The S&P broke new ground last week reaching 1,569.19 to trump its former, pre-credit-crisis record of 1,565.15 reached on Oct. 9, 2007. This came shortly after the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke its 2007 record high on March 5. The S&P's next milestone is its all-time intraday high of 1,576.09, set on Oct. 11, 2007.

Plastic can't take the heat
When I started studying ocean plastics four years ago, I was a gung-ho recycler. I had lobbied to have recycling bins brought to our condominium. I was excited for all the different plastics I could put into the bins. I loved the very idea of "closed loop" recycling, bottle-to-bottle, reusing plastic endlessly. All the hype the plastics industry has heaped on us for years. The trouble is, it's bunk. Plastic […]Continue Reading

The story of humanity was turned upside-down last week by a report out of England. Storms late last year along England's east coast (the county of Norfolk) eroded back a ton of sediment, revealing ancient footprints. Human footprints.

Hojo has observed that many Taiwan Oolong drinkers start with cheap low altitude -and go higher and higher up the price and altitude chain then give up and stop drinking altogether. He approached some teamakers who were observing the same issue, and some of them may try and differentiate their teas in alternative ways. I commented on the similarities that could be drawn with French wine appelations - where the whole appellation would have a broad 'style', and he hoped that Taiwan would go the same way developing a style for the 'terroir' rather than pushing the altitude factor alone.
Low altitude DongDing is a cheap tea in both price and quality - but only because they are still trying to mimic the high altitude teas as best they can, and will never succeed.
The full fermentation/oxidisation Dong Ding that I tried at Hojo's sure seems like a winner to me.

got 3 liters of this stuff to play around with the other day
This stuff has ALOT of minerals wow. Way more then other bottled spring waters (this stuff is from an artesian well in croatia)
It is the smoothest, fullest bodied water I have tried in a very long time.
Brewed flt tgy and 4 seasons and was really surprised at the good results. I was always under the assumption that really hard water was just not good for tea.
Infusions had more body, and it seems like the water turned down the astringency as well. It also seemed like the water pulled more out of the tea faster then I am used to. This possibly due to slightly higher pH?
I think this water would be really good for oolongs, and I will try brewing a japanese green right now and see how it goes
Now the major con: Super mineralization means after just one 1.5l bottle the inside of my kamjove has a layer of minerals developing and if I run my finger on the inside I pick up white scale wow that was fast considering the water I have used for past 6-7 months has never given me scale
Dedicating a kettle to this water might be under consideration, one that is easier to clean then a basic kamjove
