What a wonderful update!! As a parent of an epileptic, a good pediatric neurologist is invaluable!!! So glad y'all found a great one and that your son is doing so well!!
Wow! That's excellent news. A lot of us have been following this one with you guys for a while. Glad things with the little one have finally worked out.
Great news. There is nothing worse than helplessly watching your child go through something like this. In 2008 my daughter was diagnosed with lymphoma, and she is fine now but it just tears a parents heart out watching the ordeal. it his you like a train full of bricks. The key is finding a great physician which it seems you did. The relief you feel when they are better is unbelievable. Again, great news.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.

All's well that ends well

A Race to the Death (or Close)
I didn't finish the race. Forty hours into the Death Race and a mere five hours from the end, I quit. In my four years as a Vanderbilt athlete, I had never failed to make it to the finish line. I had faced disappointment, failed to meet goals, even finished last, but I had never simply stopped. Now that the haze of physical and mental exhaustion has worn off, I'm left to question what happened that Sunday morning and to somehow reconcile everything leading up to those last few moments.
The Spartan Death Race is a 48-hour endurance competition that takes place each year in Pittsfield, Vt. The organizers are notorious for keeping the race details secret until the last minute and challenging competitors with unexpected and extreme physical and mental feats. They boast that only a miniscule number of competitors complete the event. Its website is www.youmaydie.com.
Everything would soon become a tangle of mind games and physical pain.
I have always enjoyed pushing myself. I majored in economics in the College of Arts and Science while also running track and cross-country at Vanderbilt. I learned to balance the high-pressure demands of being an SEC athlete while thriving academically, challenged by interesting professors and subjects while competing as both an individual and team member. I now know how to defend my thoughts on a case (thanks, Professor Damon) as well as how to surge in the final lap (thanks, Coach Keith).
That mindset did not disappear upon graduating. So one day in June, I left work without explaining why I was disappearing for the weekend. Using precious vacation days to suffer would be seemingly illogical to my peers.
Tangle of Mind Games and Physical Pain
The Death Race began on a rainy Friday night in Pittsfield. I was one of 155 participants who filed into the town church for a race debriefing. No one knew what we were about to endure. There was no course map, no set distance and no defined finish line. Tasks were given as the race progressed and everything would soon become a tangle of mind games and physical pain. The possibilities of what might lie ahead were limitless and the anxiety of those in the Pittsfield church tangible; I found myself excited and eager for the race to begin.
After the debriefing, racers were divided into groups and given a circle of large rocks to lift. One clean lift was getting the rock up to your chest and lowering it to the ground. Once around the circle, or 13 clean lifts, was one lap. I was to complete 150 laps, repeating the lift hundreds and hundreds of times for nearly six hours.
The rocks were only the beginning. Sometime during the early morning hours, I was sent walking miles upstream in a cold river, pitch-black except for the headlamps of racers dotting the darkness like fireflies, and silent but for the rush of the current and the occasional splash of a racer losing his footing.
Pushing Through
Sunrise found me swimming seven laps across a freezing pond, carrying a lit candle around an open field between laps, silently praying that my body's violent shivering wouldn't extinguish the flame and force me to add a penalty lap.
After splitting a stack of wood, I was sent up a trail carrying a log so heavy I could barely hoist it onto my shoulder…only to carry it back down again after committing a Bible verse to memory. After other tasks, including an eight-hour hike carrying my full pack plus a small log, night set in again.
I was 24 hours into the race. Fatigue, both mental and physical, began to take its toll. A sudden storm rolled in. I faced another mountain hike, marked only by small orange flags hanging in the woods. I plodded along, focusing only on moving forward one step at a time. Then I reached the barbed wire. I remember shining my light ahead and seeing the barbs strung across the path for probably 400 meters. I remember sitting down to rest for a minute before having to maneuver through the spikes.
And then I don't remember much. My friend and teammate for the race later told me that I stopped responding to him, barely speaking and only inching forward as he coaxed me under the wire. I was somewhere in the early stages of hypothermia. Crawling along the dark trail, face inches from pools of mud, I had no choice but to keep moving forward.
I eventually struggled to the top, and after some time warming up at the checkpoint, made it back to the base of the mountain just as the sun rose for the second time. I pressed onward, tasked with cutting down trees, moving more rocks and slowly trudging forward. Fewer than 50 racers, strewn across miles of trail and hours of competition, remained on the course.
Ending with Integrity
Then late Sunday morning, I stopped. I had been competing for over 40 straight hours and was in 12th place. The race officials told me I had more than 15 hours left of the competition. I knew I'd have to sleep before continuing for that long. Monday's workday loomed in front of me. Enough. I shared a congratulatory hug with my teammate and we headed home, confident in our decision and proud of our accomplishment. It was not the finish, but for us it was the end.
I got the call that night.
The race had ended at 45 hours wherever you were on the course, and those remaining 35 racers were told they finished. The finish line was yet another trick.
I was devastated, and for weeks wished I had slept in the rest tent for five hours, essentially tricking the race directors instead of letting them trick me. But that's not the philosophy with which I toed the start line when I wore a gold V on my chest. Nor would it represent the values instilled in me over my Vanderbilt years, during the Arts and Science classes that were my academic barbed wire, when I didn't think I would pass or the easy way out seemed tempting.
I didn't finish the Death Race, but I competed with integrity for 40 hours and pushed my body harder than I thought possible, and I can say that with my head held high.

VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency's most recent resolution on Iran criticizes Tehran's nuclear defiance, but with language moderate enough to secure Russia's and China's support.
Diplomats characterize the document, obtained by The Associated Press, as a compromise. It will be put before the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board over the next two days.
The U.S. and its allies had sought to deliver tougher demands for Iran to start cooperating with an International Atomic Energy Agency probe of allegations that Tehran is secretly working on nuclear arms. But Russia and China were opposed to any overtly harsh document.
The resolution expresses "serious concern" over Iran's defiance of the U.N. Security Council and the IAEA's board. Those two bodies want Tehran to stop activities that could be used to make nuclear arms and allow a probe of its alleged secret weapons work.

[Verse 1: Dizzee Rascal]
Yo, I don't promote no violence but
If that boy gets arrogant I'll
Leave that boy in the basement so
Done with the bad boy talk, just walk
I'm not a female beater but if that girl gets feisty I'll
Slap that girl all hasty cos
She might be buff but she's not rough
I can't believe I'm hearing that
Boy thinks I'm not near him, just
Let me draw his girlfriend I'll
Cut no slack, she'll never go back
Marriage, true love, wife; please!
All that talk is stupid plus
I don't believe in cupid cos
Sometimes most times everyone two-times
Who do they think they are?
You push me too far
Look I don't care who you are
No I'm a super, superstar
Who do they think they are?
You push me too far
Look I don't care who you are
[Verse 2: Dizzee Rascal]
Yo, yo I don't obey no policemen cos
They forget they're human uh
Get excited quickly but
He ain't got a gun, I'll kick him and run
Don't tell me about royalty cos
Queen Elizabeth don't know me so
How can she control me when
I live street and she lives neat
I love raves and concerts but
There's just too much violence and
I can't stand no nonsense uhhh
Book me, watch me, hear me, pay me
I've been far too friendly now
Everybody wants a favour but
I'm not no ones saviour cos
Where was you when I was blue?!
[Verse 3: Dizzee Rascal]
Yo, talk in the mic I'll talk neat
Talk to your wife I'll talk sweet
Talkin' tough I'll talk with my feet
Rascal's raw like red meat
Talk, act, talk rough
Talk sexy, talk buff
Certain girls talk 'nuff
Talk anything, anywhere, any stuff
Yeah we got style, we'll get gash
Yeah we got style, we'll make cash
Certain man talk trash
Act funny, act flash
Bring your bora, bring your mash
Get banged, get bashed
I don't care who they are, where they are
If they wanna bring the beef, we ain't far
[Verse 4: Wiley]
I was hot steppin' in my Nike Air sneaker
You didn't know I was an MC beater, defeater
Giving the MC a sleeper
I'm in to win fairly, I'm not a cheater
I'm starving, hungry ready to eat her
Your drinks sweet but my drink's sweeter though
I'm getting stronger bro, you're getting weaker bro
I came straight from the gutter, lay low
I'm a ninja turtle, you can't step into my circle
In a sound clash I will hurt you
Paper, that's what I'm living for
They don't wanna make paper, they want a place on the floor and choong
That's what I want
I want choong things, a double bed fling with a choong ting
Wiley, Rascal that's the boom-ting
Galdem-a bang on my ends
No long ting!
[Hook x2]
Track 5 from Boy in Da Corner. This song sees Dizzee attempting to justify and rationalize his violent and antisocial behaviour; he tries to do the right thing most of the time, but inevitably people or circumstances push him 'too far'. Or so he claims.
The track also features a verse from Dizzee's now-estranged former mentor Wiley, one of the few features on Boy In Da Corner.

"I LOVE this post card, it is beautiful and quality is top notch! I wish the card said "Thank you" as that is just what I prefer, "Thanks" sounds as if one is too busy to take more time for the proper "Thank you." ...At the price point I would order the card, again and again. THANK YOU, Tinyprints."
"This postcard thank you note is great. Love the sparkle look without the glitter mess. And postcards are perfect for a quick thank you note."
"The colors are beautiful & perfect for my baby shower gift. Unique gift for mom to be. So pretty & different for a thank you cards. She's going to love them!"
"I'm thrilled with this sweet postcard. The colors are as beautiful in person as they look online. I especially love the ability to personalize this with a return address. That leaves me with more room to write a thoughtful note and more time on my hands."
"I have ordered this card twice after enjoying it so much the first time. I found it versatile and the perfect size for a short note...sometimes a thank you note or a sympathy note...it worked well for both. I deleted the "thank you" heading and inserted my name at the top. That left a little more room to write."

It's not unusual for camera manufacturers to maximise returns on their R&D expenditure by launching several different models that share almost all of their main features, to the point where in many cases the specifications of several models in a given range are virtually identical, differing only in a few minor details. A few weeks ago I reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77, a 10.1-megapixel sliding-cover ultra-compact with an internal 4x zoom Carl Zeiss lens and a touch-screen interface. Today I'm taking a look at the Cyber-shot DSC-T700, which as you may have guessed has the same sensor, the same lens and most of the same major features as the T77.
There are some differences of course, the main one being the monitor. Where the T77 has a decent three-inch screen with a resolution of 230,400 dots, the T700 has a bigger 3.5-inch screen with a massively sharp resolution of 921,600 dots, making it one of the highest resolution compact camera monitors on the market. Whether that is enough to justify the rather exorbitant price is a matter of opinion. The T77 is pretty expensive at £210, but the T700 thumbs its nose at the credit crunch with a recommended retail price of £299. Even from online retailers I couldn't find it for less than £258. This is breathtakingly expensive even in the rarefied atmosphere of luxury compact cameras. The new Panasonic Lumix FX37, with its 5x zoom ultra-wide lens, is currently selling for around £190, the Canon IXUS 970 IS is £205, and the Nikon CoolPix S610c (review next week) is around £214.
So apart from an unfeasibly sharp monitor, what does your £258 buy you? Well for starter it buys more cool style than you could ever possibly need, because there's really no denying that the T700 is a great looking camera. With the sliding cover closed, from the front it is just a flat, sharp-edged slab of brush-finished aluminium, with a nicely understated Sony logo in the middle. Turning the camera over, virtually the whole of the back is taken up by that huge black monitor screen, with only a few discreet controls on the top panel to spoil its "fell though a time-warp from the future" appearance. The whole thing is just 16.4mm thick and weighs just 160g including card and battery, just heavy enough to feel satisfyingly expensive. Like all good style-oriented products, it is available in the titanium-grey shown here, as well as silver and, of course, pink.

Hi there. Does the T700 suffer from the same 'harsh JPEG compression' that was written about the T77? If so, would a person that just uses a camera for holiday snaps and family shots (me!) really notice this? My latest camera was (until I broke it!) the Sony T9 and I was pretty happy with the image quality from that.
Thanks very much. Regards, Jim
Amazon currently have the T700 (in certain colours) for 𧶏: how does that affect the value score for this review and does it make it worth buying?
In general, the prices drop for everything we review, given enough time. This is why we clearly state Price As Reviewed (so you know what it was reviewed & scored against) but also the Latest Price for comparison.
Since Build Quality, Feature and Image Quality haven't changed with a lower price, they all stay as they are. 𧶏 is 㿗 less, or 17%. That would clearly improve the Value score from 4/10 but bear in mind the competition will also have dropped in price too probably.
Whether or not this would bump it from 7 Overall to an 8 is slightly moot - there are many models that scored 9 Overall at the time of review that might also have dropped in price over time :)

When it comes to the economy, "it's not good. Not good," according to Jon Stewart. "But don't take my word for it. Seriously, I'm actually doing very well."
On May 1, "The Daily Show" host was introducing a segment that made light of doom-and-gloom economic reporting on network and cable news. His mash-up highlighted CBS's own "Grim Reaper," Anthony Mason, ABC's Betsy Stark, NBC's Brian Williams and CNN's senior business correspondent Ali Velshi.
Stewart poked hardest at Velshi, whom he called that "Hairless Prophet of Doom."
"Who is that hairless prophet of doom and how can we appease his anger, please?" Stewart pleaded, "If we give you our hair will you give us back our money? Will you do it, sir? I beg of you - Velshi!"
Velshi responded to Stewart's charge on CNN Friday and in a column on CNN.com.
He wrote, "This is bad. Morning TV is not meant to depress people. But it's not my fault - the economy is Issue No. 1 during the election - and my beat is covering the economy."
"Problem is," Velshi continued, "when you see my chubby mug on TV, it is generally bad news. It hasn't always been that way. I've covered good business news, too. In fact, I covered some good news this week. Good economic news."
That's true - the Business & Media Institute has given Velshi credit a number of times for bringing more than a doom-and-gloom perspective to the issues. But BMI has also recently criticized him for changing the definition of "recession."
After Stewart's ribbing, Velshi resolved "to look at the glass as half-full instead of half-empty."

Chyna Gets Nude And Sexy For PlayboyMonday, August 4th, 2008
In 2000, Chyna and the late Eddie Guerrero were part of a very popular gimmick in the WWE, with Eddie teaming up with Chyna and playing his Latino Heat persona to the hilt, making Chyna his 'Mamacita'. It was during the end of this run that Chyna was signed up to do a pictorial for Playboy. It was the evil genius, Vince McMahon, of course, who thought up this idea and proposed it to Playboy as a crossover marketing strategy. With girlie mags and pro-wrestling having essentially the same audience, it was an easy sell. The choice of Chyna though, to be the one to pose nude was an inspired decision on his part, in my opinion.
Chyna isn't what you would consider to be a traditional Playboy bunny, after all. But it's probably the novelty of her appearance, as well as her popularity in sports entertainment at that time, that made this issue one of the top ten best-selling issues in Playboy's history. Not bad for a lady who looks like she could crush you in her arms, which she probably could. But that hot, naked muscular body does hold a lot of appeal for lots of horny guys out there, so don't knock it, unless you want a forearm to the face, followed by a swinging neckbreaker! Imagine how embarrassing it would be telling people you got knocked out by a lady, even one with a kneeling low blow move like her, and with the power to really make it hurt.
Extreme fitness makes a powerful aphrodisiac, it's coded into our genes for the survival of the species. So don't be ashamed to admit you're hot for a freak of nature like Chyna! Just click on this link and be proud that you're into chicks with brains and brawn, and not just looks! Though I bet you didn't know Chyna has a degree in Spanish Literature, as well as being conversant in both Spanish and French!

The performance of the Brahms violin concerto by Yehudi Menuhin last night at the PhilharmonicSymphony concert in Carnegie Hall must count as one of the most authoritative and matured interpretations he has given here. Breadth, virility and tonal architecture were exceptionally good.

The French Paracelsians: The Chemical Challenge to Medical and Scientific Tradition in Early Modern France
€ 43,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
August 2002
BeschreibungAn account of the prolonged struggle between Paracelsians and Galenists, and its significance for the scientific revolution.
InhaltsverzeichnisPreface; List of illustrations; 1. Paracelsism and medical tradition; 2. Chemistry and medicine in France: the early years; 3. Paris and Montpellier: the great chemical debates; 4. Chemical continuity and the new philosophy; 5. Alchemy and the chemical philosophers in the early eighteenth century; 6. Postscript; Notes; Bibliography.
Pressestimmen"Debus has dramatically enriched our knowledge of Renaissance and modern science, including themes and figures that traditional historians of science have neglected. Thanks to Debus's studies, the relevance of individuals like Paracelsus, Robert Fludd and Jean-Baptiste van Helmont to modern science and philosophy is now recognised...The author draws on an impressive array of documents..." Antonio Clericuzio, Times Higher Education Supplement "...describes the internecine warfare in a clear and readable manner with just the right amount of quotation. The book is written with great authority and I am sure it will be the definitive account of this episode in the history of medicine for many years to come." A. R. Butler, New Scientist "...an important contribution to the history of pharmacy and to some aspects of the early history of chemistry and of medicine." Maurice Crosland, Nature "...succeeds admirably in documenting the 'chemical challenge' to both medical and scientific tradition in early modern France. A very readable yet scholarly account, handsomely illustrated; very interesting reading for undergraduates and academic specialists alike." J.W. Dauben, Choice "...a masterly study..." Thomas S. Willard, Studies in Hermeticism "Debus's use of primary sources is exemplary (16 pages of references--may of them rare and difficult to obtain). His work is a model of scholarship...The book is an essential contribution to a better understanding of one of the most difficult figures in medical history. It is a model of what might be done with other threads of the Paracelsian corpus if one concentrates on primary sources." Edmund D. Pellegrino, Quarterly Review of Biology "...a major contribution not only ot the study of the history of medicine and the history of both medical and non-medical chemistry but also to the history of science, the history of ideas." Bibliotheque d'Humanisme et Renaissance "...narrates an important episode whose contributions to the scientific revolution has been largely ignored: the long-standing contention between Paracelsians and Galenists...Debus shows how the purported triumph of the mechanists in the scientific academies was partial at best, recounting the osmotic acceptance of chemistry by the academies. This persistent influence of medical chemistry was significant both for the chemical revolution and as one of the driving forces behind the scientific revolution, and deserves greater recognition by historians. "...a welcome addition to Allen Debus' studies of the Paracelsian tradition in early modern Europe...As a work of intellectual history, this book is successful. Debus agilely traces the complex development of French Paracelsianism showing its relation to humanist medicine, to Protestantism, and to the new philosophy." William Eamon, Renaissance Quarterly

I have maybe 50 or so little black beetles in my top bar hive. what should i do?
Read up on Small Hive Beetles.
Fat bee man has a neat cheap trap using crisco and boric acid. Get on you tube and search his videos. In the meantime, make sure your hive is strong. Is your queen laying well? If not, it might be time to requeen. A strong hive is the best defense against SHB. Make sure there is not alot of empty comb in your hive, if so, take out those bars and put in your follower board. If there is not enough bees to patrol the comb, that is when SMB will take over. Then get in your hive and smash, smash, smash, those dang bettles! IF your not adverse to using chemicals, Check Mite strips can also be used.

spa - Amansara Spa, Siem Reap
Written by Ayesha Khan
There are some things that we should all do once in our lives, and a visit to the mystical ancient city of Angkor is one of them. Inspiring and spiritual as it is, the temple tour can get rather tiring. Luckily the Amansara Spa is just a stones throw away.
Amansara's spa offers much more than just massages and facials, thanks to Vijaya Goyal, a specialist in holistic therapies, and Stephen Jeanes – a gifted intuitive healer.
Although the sceptics among us may not believe it, these therapies actually leave a profound impact on one's life. They include a cranio-sacral therapy, where blockages in the cerebrospinal fluid are relieved through certain pressure patterns.
Vijaya receives countless gushing emails from guests even long after they have received these therapies. The mild-mannered Stephen has
But if it is 'just' massages and facials you're looking for, then Amansara offers a host of therapies. The most memorable are two signature treatments; for women, the Apsara scrub, wrap, and facial – named after the beautiful celestial nymph of Hindu and Buddhist culture – combines an aromatic blend of Khmer herbs, a clay wrap, warm rice compress for your stomach, and a mini facial; for men, the temple walk is recommended. It's a cooling, refreshing foot massage combined with a relaxing oil massage to soothe tired legs.
Srah srang
For a truly immersive experience, Amansara also offers treatments at its authentic Khmer village house overlooking the royal bathing pools of Srah Srang. Here, you can have a reading with a Khmer fortune-teller, or a massage by a blind Khmer massage therapist, proceeds from which will go directly to the therapists who are still living with landmine-related injuries. For yoga enthusiasts, there is nothing like an Amansara-organised sunrise meditation at the temples of Angkor. End your magical Angkor excursion with a water blessing by a Buddhist monk at the Wat Atwear Monastery – an experience not to be missed.

In Neighborhood That's Diverse, a Push for Signs to Be Less So (NYT)
Flushing Councilmember Peter Koo is pushing for a new law that would require store front signs of local businesses to be at least 60% English. He says the influx of Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese languages deters those who do not speak the language from visiting the neighborhoods.

Among Conservative Rabbis, a Wide Disagreement Over Same-Sex Marriage (NYT)
Same-sex marriage is legal in New York, but rabbis in the city have mixed feelings on the change. Some rabbis support the law and have already conducted same sex marriages in their synagogues, while others say they won't officiate same-sex marriages. Regardless, the law is forcing rabbis across the state to address the situation directly.

The Brooklyn Philharmonic is Back (Brooklyn Paper)

Staten Island Parents: Charter School Recruits Handicap Kids but Doesn't Provide for Special Needs (NY Daily News)
Staten Island parents say a charter school aimed at helping children with special needs has not delivered on its promise.

President Obama Needs A Dose of Chris Christie (Star-Ledger)
Congressional leaders and President Obama were finally able to come to an agreement over the debt ceiling, but according to Star-Ledger Columnist, Tom Moran, Republicans came out on top.

Cessna Thinks SkyCatcher Is a Home Run
On Sunday morning at EAA AirVenture, Cessna Aircraft revealed more details about its light sport aircraft (LSA), which is now known as the Model 162 SkyCatcher. "For the past year, we have been soliciting feedback from the market on our proof-of-concept aircraft, and the result is an airplane that we believe is the most advanced and innovative in its class," said Cessna President, Chairman and CEO Jack Pelton. The $109,500, aluminum Cessna LSA will sport the Continental O-200D engine, single-screen Garmin G300 avionics, two-blade composite prop, caster nosewheel, adjustable rudder pedals, painted metal interior and gull-wing doors. A significant change from the POC airplane is a constant chord wing, which makes it easier to manufacture. It is expected to cruise at up to 118 knots and have a max range of 470 nm and 15,500-foot service ceiling. Preliminary specifications of the day/night VFR-capable airplane include a 1,320-pound mtow, 490-pound useful load and 24-gallon useful fuel load. A conforming prototype is expected to be flying by next summer, with ASTM certification planned by the end of 2008 and first deliveries in the second half of 2009.
Cessna is taking $10,000 deposits at the show, and Pelton expects many orders from Cessna Pilot Centers (CPCs) since the airplane is targeted toward the training market. EAA is the launch customer for the new Cessna model, with the first production airplane going to the association's Young Eagles program and the second airplane to the EAA Flight Academy. Cessna is working on an FITS-approved SkyCatcher flight-training program for both sport and private-pilot courses.

Even if the GOP hadn't gerrymandered the House, even if Trump had won the popular vote, even if there weren't all these new voter restriction laws in place, the Senate still gives voters in smaller, whiter states more power than those in big diverse ones. This democratic defect was built in since day one.
After 83 days in power for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the House of Commons has resumed sitting. Ottawa will be back in full swing with hundreds of new staffers settling into their new roles. As ministers return to the question period briefed up, staffed up and, ideally, rested up from the holiday, we will see a more comfortable team working to deliver on the government priorities set out in their platform and Speech from the Throne: growing the economy for the middle class, providing Canadians with open and transparent government and fighting climate change.
Perhaps we can just shut down the Senate for 10 years and send the senators home on a leave of absence. Even if we continued to give them full pay, we'd still be financially further ahead. Since they'd be on hiatus for a decade, there would be no expense claims, no travel claims and few office expenses.
What if all Senators, save for the 20 needed to make quorum, simply resigned en masse tomorrow? In the beginning of his mandate, Harper refused to appoint non-elected Senators to the Upper Chamber. He ended up doing so because the dwindling numbers compromised the Senate's functionality. This time around, the Prime Minister may very well stop appointing Senators for good.
Currently in Canada, Senators, Supreme or Federal Court judges, and privy councillors are allowed to use the honorific of "Honourable." The trio of senators who have been suspended without pay -- Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau -- all retain their honorific titles of "The Honourable Senator" while under suspension. Stripped of their salaries, offices and budgets, it seems oddly Canadian to allow them to retain these clearly meaningless titles. So should we in Canada also move to do away with honorific titles completely? Should there be no more "Honourables" or "Worships" at all?
What is happening in both the House of Commons and the Senate at the moment represents a serious enough threat to our democracy that we require remedial efforts in real time, far in advance of whatever constitutional refinements to these institutions that might lie in the future. Our focus should be upon the selection process for Senators, at least in the interim.
Much like I can veto my best friend from buying a skirt I know she'll never wear, the Senate can veto parliamentary legislation as it sees fit. In fact, in the past, this veto power has been used pretty haphazardly, so why didn't the Senate veto Bill C-10? Perhaps it is because there is no pressure from Conservative ministers to kill the bill.
My wife comments that I am one of nature's pessimists. I don't deny that people will sometimes act kindly. I just don't expect it. Linda is very different. She sees the best in people, makes the widest allowance for human failings, and is always ready to believe in the possibility of change and improvement.
