Many of us live and work in surroundings dominated by electronics, computers, televisions, microwave ovens and cell phones – just to name a few. Unfortunately these devices emit excessive amounts of positive ions into the air we breathe and that can result in mental and physical exhaustion. Positive ions from air pollution from cars, cigarette smoke, dust and the like combine with this electronic pollution to create a potent mixture that negatively effects our health.
Laboratory tests have proven that Salt Crystal Lamps, when turned on, clean the air and balance the relationship of negative and positive ions in the surrounding environment. This occurs because of the salt's natural ability to absorb water from ambient air and when heated (by a light bulb) evaporate it back out. This water and salt transformation cycle measurably cleans the air and balances the relationship of negative and positive ions in the process. Scientific studies clearly show that a balanced ion relationship has extremely positive affects on health.
Perhaps you have noticed that your sense of well being is intensified near water falls, at the seashore or after a thunderstorm. This is due to the higher concentration of ion exchange. It is no coincidence that many healing spas are located in areas with roaring mountain springs or at the seashore where air particles achieve electrical or ionic balance. You can create your own spa-like environment by using Salt Crystal Lamps anywhere electronic devices are used or anywhere a greater sense of well being is desired.
There is an electromagnetic field of vibration that surrounds the Earth. It is known as the Schuman resonance frequency and vibrates at 7.83 Hz (cycles per second). This frequency is the most common vibration found in the natural world – including humans (and salt crystals). Resonance with it creates a general state of health and well being.
Today we are being inundated by artificial vibrations caused by electronic devices such as computers, televisions, cell phones and the like which vibrate much higher than we do (TV's emit 100-160 Hz). These vibrations – call Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs) have been proven to promote illness since they constantly overlap our natural frequency (7.83Hz) and imprint their higher frequencies into our electromagnetic fields. The consequence of this continual exposure is interference with our central nervous system. Nervousness, insomnia and lack of concentration or focus are just a few of the effects caused by EMFs. These extreme artificial frequencies also interfere with the natural development of our cells and contribute to the accumulation of free radicals.
Salt Crystals emit a neutralizing vibration of around 8 Hz frequency into their immediate environment. So putting a Salt Crystal Lamp next to a high frequency electronic device will bring harmful EMFs into resonance. Sleeping with a Salt Crystal Lamp in your room (even if it is not turned on) is recommended. The natural EMF neutralizing quality of Salt Crystals does not require heat to take effect so even unlit lamps are doing their magic. Many household devices emit harmful EMFs – like refrigerators and hair dryers so for best results place Salt Crystal Lamps in every room.

I don't like the beach. There. I said it. Call me crazy, but on a steamy summer afternoon, there is nothing that appeals to me less than treading across mounds of sizzling sand dunes just so I can roll out a towel and uncomfortably lay myself out to bake for five hours like an ant under a magnifying glass or a pale, Irish child under a lamp. It hasn't always been this way. As a kid, I adored coastline excursions as they often signaled a day of innumerable fun activities. But the older I got, the less I seemed to enjoy many of the things that once made the beach so wonderful.
Boogie Boarding I wore a one-piece bathing suit for as long as a person can wear a one-piece but, like overalls, you can only wear them for so long without being judged. (According to a the collection beach pictures I just Googled, one-pieces are reserved for toddlers and grandparents, neither of which I am right now.) The day I relinquished my one-piece for another swimsuit was also the day I was forced to abandon boogie boarding. This is because in trying to boogie board with a two-piece, I learned two things: waves are perverted, suit-snatching creations of nature and the rate that my face goes from pale white to Clifford red stands at about 1.56 seconds. I'm comfortable with my body and all but I'd prefer not to share it with the entire beach. This isn't Europe.
Being Buried I have a lot of beef with the idea of being buried but most of it stems from sandworms. Up until the age of ten, I believed the only things that dwelled beneath the sand were shells, sea glass and buried treasure. Then came the sandworm, a slimy, writhing, creepy-crawly spawned straight from the depths of Mount Doom. Merely knowing that these creatures could slither past my feet while I'm trapped in a cocoon of sand makes me hyperventilate.
With the fear of sandworms came other realistic fears that once took a backseat in my kid-mind: abandonment, strangers unknowingly kicking sand in my eyes, children tripping over my exposed head, getting stuck, the tide coming in, flash tsunamis, David Hasselhoff running past me. The possibilities are endless.
Eating Food "Here's a sandwich Billy. Now just open the package and…Billy, do you have sand on your hands? Wait, now the sandwich has sand on…don't put that in your mouth, what are you- BILLYSTOPEATINGTHESANDWICH!!!"
Perhaps I have just become more observant over the years but lately at the beach, it seems like there is sand on everything (besides, you know, the ground) and it's starting to drive me crazy. Hands, shirts, sandwiches sitting in sealed plastic baggies. In fact, you could put a slice of cheese in an airtight, multi-layered package and probably still find a grain of sand inside upon cracking it open. As a result, I can no longer enjoy eating on the beach in fear that I will consume one of these salty pebbles on accident, which will happen, I assure you. I understand that this shouldn't be such a big deal and that my beach trips are twice as inconvenient without food around but I once saw this kid on a TV show eat sand and then worms ended up in his eye so I'm not taking any chances, okay?
Swimming If you've ever wanted to experience the Titanic (maybe you're a thrill seeker, I don't know), just head over to the nearest New England beach and jump in the water. There has to be some sort of conspiracy going on because I don't remember the water ever being as cold as it feels to me now. In addition, my awareness of dangerous marine life has become heightened in recent years as a result of watching too many Syfy channel original movie marathons. (Ones that were particularly detrimental to my mental health: Jaws, Sharktopus, Dinocroc, every Lake Placid and Frankenfish.) As if those weren't enough to do me in, National Geographic also aired weekly specials for a brief period of time highlighting real deadly ocean dwellers, thus building up my mental anthology of sea-critters-that-can-kill-me and keeping me out of the water for eternity and beyond.

Though they bill themselves as a Yahoo Ecommerce site, there is nothing here but sham and hypocrisy. I emailed, faxed, called and certified mailed them to no avail about my relatively small order. But I learned by searching that the atty Gen of NY state is involved and there are many who are in the same boat.

A tricky business, reviewing The Dark Knight Rises. In the States, writers who have criticised the film have not only been flamed by outraged fans, they have received death threats. The review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes was forced to shut down its comments section for the first time since it was launched in 1999.
In this country, a reviewer who described a little of what happens in the film was harried by hundreds of readers furiously complaining that the review contained spoilers.
What's going on here? It may be "the most eagerly awaited film of the year" but it's also just another movie, in a very long series, about a man in a mask with pointy little ears, wearing a cape and speaking in an affected growl, having improbable adventures in a fictional universe, derived from a strip cartoon. Whereas these reactions to mere film criticism would be more appropriate to having deep faith outraged by blasphemy, heresy and schism.
As for spoilers, the narrative arc of The Dark Knight Rises could not be simpler to predict. Facing a new villain, does the Batman come out of retirement to battle for Gotham once again, at first seeming to be defeated before rising indeed to the occasion in a thrilling final battle? Or does he move to a retirement complex in Tampa, develop a taste for Hawaiian shirts, excel at crazy golf and, to the joy of his friends, finally come out as gay? I'm not saying. You didn't read it here.
The movie opens with a bravura action sequence, an aerial heist that could have come from a Bond film or a Mission: Impossible. Thus we meet our villain, Bane (Tom Hardy), a bald and brawny thug who wears a muzzle that's precisely a cross between an Alien face-hugger and Hannibal Lecter's hockey mask. It's a striking accessory but it comes at a cost. We never see Hardy's fleshy lips, one of his great dramatic resources, and his roaring speech is infuriatingly indistinct throughout the film, worse even than Batman's intimidating rumble.
Back in Gotham, Bruce Wayne (brooding Christian Bale) has been a recluse, hobbling around with a stick, these past eight years, since letting Batman take the blame for the death of Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, for the good of the city. But his interest is perked by an encounter with cheeky thief Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, played by Anne Hathaway with a brightly lipsticked, always slightly open mouth and a wiggly walk. He starts to get out and about a bit, even getting to grips with another hottie, a new character, tycoon Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard), who professes to be developing a reactor that's "the world's best chance for a sustainable future".
Gary Oldman is back as Commissioner Gordon, Morgan Freeman as inventor Lucius Fox, and, even more importantly, Michael Caine returns as the crumbly cockney, Alfred the Butler, deploring his charge's failure to move on and get a life. "You can strap up your leg and put your mask back on but that doesn't make you who you were," he says before getting even more personal. "You used to talk about life beyond that awful cave."
Wayne/Batman is better understood by a game young police officer (the ever winning Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who tells Wayne his own experiences in an orphanage have left him feeling as though he wears a mask himself: "I don't know why you took the rap for Dent's murder but I'm still a believer in the Batman." A bit of an affinity there, a promising boy.
This very long film is stuffed with such expository and argumentative dialogue, scripted by Christoper Nolan with his brother Jonathan, a collaboration that has had the unfortunate consequence of doubling the wordcount. The number of plot-threads is similarly over-determined, a tangle that helps the movie feel opaque and significant.
Eventually, the action kicks in, though. Bane launches his assault on Gotham, invading the Stock Exchange in a clear echo of Occupy Wall Street, before moving on to outright terrorism.
What does Bane want? He claims to be "a necessary evil", to come not as a conqueror but as a liberator, and he releases all the prisoners incarcerated under the "Dent Act", in a storming of the Bastille-type scene (for, in search of a little more gravitas, Nolan has woven in allusions to Charles Dickens's annoying novel A Tale of Two Cities).
But he also looks forward to nuclear armageddon and, in a moment of frankness, tells Batman, "You can watch me torture the entire city." None of this ultimately makes any sense but it serves to stir up confused feelings about revolutionary populism versus a plutocratic vigilante and thus create a murky political context for Batman's intervention.
It is only after Wayne has been down into the same pit as Bane and toughened up, Rocky-style, that Batman can rise again, Christ-like at the third time of asking, and do battle with his enemy, mostly through straightforward thumping.
What, though, I think Nolan has crucially brought to this franchise is solemnity and humourlessness. Belief, you might even say. None of the Marvel superhero films are so ominous and portenteous, so deliberately dark. Nolan has turned a preposterous character back into a grave myth, the story of a tortured saviour, reluctantly giving his all.
That, I suspect, is what audiences crave in a world stripped of calls to faith, not just in-jokes or simple fun. That's why they can't bear to have the movie questioned — and why it's going to be so big. Do go and see it before reading a review, though.

China Shares May See More Strength
RTTNews - The China stock market has ended higher now in consecutive trading days, jumping more than 130 points or 4.8 percent en route to a 10-month closing high. The Shanghai Composite Index broke through resistance at the 2,700-point plateau, and now investors are betting that the market has a bit more upside remaining when it opens on Tuesday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is solidly upbeat, thanks to better than expected economic data around the globe that suggests the economic slowdown may be losing steam. Auto makers may be in focus after General Motors officially declared bankruptcy - although the move has largely been priced in and actually is being met with some optimism. The European and U.S. markets ended sharply higher, and the Asian markets are tipped to trade in the green as well.
The SCI finished sharply higher on Monday, lifted by positive manufacturing data. The commodities ended higher, as did the property shares.
For the day, the index soared 88.35 points or 3.36 percent to close at 2,721.28 after trading between 2,668.40 and 2,726.72. The Shenzhen Component Index added 293.42 points or 2.9 percent to finish at 10,421.34 for a combined turnover of 225.23 billion yuan. Gains outnumbered losses by 762 to 90 in Shanghai and 628 to 93 in Shenzhen.
Among the gainers, Shandong Gold Mining surged by the daily limit of 10 percent, while PetroChina jumped 4.89 percent, Sinopec was up 1.06 percent, Zhongjin Gold jumped 9.49 percent, China Vanke gained 4.31 percent and Poly Real Estate added 5.71 percent.
Wall Street puts forth a broadly positive lead as stocks were able to extend their gains for a third straight session on Monday, seeing a notably strong outing for the first trading day of June. The major averages all finished firmly in positive territory, with the NASDAQ and S&P 500 closing at their best levels of the year. Trader confidence was boosted by an influx of largely promising economic figures, with data from the Institute for Supply Management showing a slower pace of contraction in activity in the manufacturing sector in the month of April.
The report showed that the index of activity in the manufacturing sector rose to 42.8 in May from 40.1 in April, with a reading below 50 indicating a contraction. Economists had been expecting the index to edge up to a reading of 42.0. A turnaround in new orders contributed to the improvement in the sector, with the new orders index climbing to 51.1 in May from 47.2 in April. This marked the first time the index has been above 50 since November of 2007.
Further, construction spending unexpectedly increased in the month of April, according to a report released by the Commerce Department, with the unexpected growth reflecting a notable increase in spending on private construction. The Commerce Department also released a separate report showing that personal income unexpectedly rose in the month of April, with the increase partly due to the reduced taxes and increased social benefit payments associated with the government's economic stimulus plan.
On the corporate front, auto giant General Motors officially filed for bankruptcy on Monday morning. The Obama administration said Sunday that it has deemed GM's reorganization plan viable and will provide the company $30.1 billion in debtor-in-possession financing. President Barack Obama addressed GM's bankruptcy filing Monday, stressing that the government is acting as reluctant shareholders with a 60 percent stake in the company and hoping for a swift bankruptcy process.
Obama said that while GM's trip through bankruptcy will likely be longer than Chrysler's swift 31 days, he hopes that the embattled automaker will emerge from the Chapter 11 process quickly. The president defended his administration's actions with regarding to the automaker, stating that his people inherited a severe financial crisis unlike any we have seen in our time that put the government in an unwelcome position.
The major averages saw additional upside in the afternoon dealing and finished just off of their best levels of the day. The Dow closed up 221.11 points or 2.6 percent, at 8,721.44, the NASDAQ finished up by 54.35 points or 3.1 percent, at 1,828.68, and the S&P 500 rose 23.73 points or 2.6 percent to 942.87.
In economic news, China's purchasing managers' index posted a score of 53.1 in May, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said on Monday, easing from 53.5 in April. Export orders moved up to 50.1 in May from 49.1 in April. The index remained above 50 for the third consecutive month following five straight months below that level. A reading above 50 indicates growth, while a score below 50 represents contraction based on a survey of more than 700 businesses in 11 categories.

A Wichita man is back in Cowley County this week after being arrested in another state on multiple felony warrants.
Brent Tremayne Jones, 45, was arrested Sept. 18 in Cumberland County N.C. on warrants out of Ark City Dist. Court for aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, forgery, interference with law enforcement, attempting to flee or elude and theft.
He arrived back in Cowley County this week and has bond set at $50,000. Jones had been a fugitive from justice for several months.
Sheriff Don Read said a private company was contracted to pick up Jones in North Carolina. He expected the cost of that trip to be $1,400 or more.
The bill for the trip will be passed along to prosecutors so that it can be factored into Jones restitution, should he be convicted.
Its fairly regular that we get that money back from those who are convicted, Read said. Its something Ive been doing since I was first elected and the county attorney has been good to see that recovery of that cost is pursued.
Court officials could not elaborate on the charges for which Jones was arrested.

I love this and now the stores don't have it anymore! Does anyone know of a good substitute?

I didn't like it much on my eyelids, but it's absolutely fabulous as a brow powder! Staying power is good and even better with primer.

It's a really good matte eyeshadow. I usually like really heavy, smokey kind of eyes. And it's perfect for that. I also use it to fill in my eyebrows and it's great. It's smooth. It doesn't crease or flake on me. And I have really like saggy type of eyelids, so my eyeshadows and eyeliners usually crease.
It's also a very pretty brown.

A deep rich brown that goes on a bit darker than I expected. I find it to be a neutral tone and you can add depth to make it darker if you like it that way. Definitely a keeper.

Quite nice neutral dark brown, not too dark or red, although I did detect a touch of red which I'm not keen on (especially on my brows). I think what makes this brown so nice is the hint of gray, giving it a sultriness on the eyes and a wearability on the brows, especially on brown eyes like mine which don't really fair well with browns. What is really nice is that you can control the opaqueness in layers - slight definition in crease to full on brownie-smoky eye.

I love this eyeshadow! It's quite a neutral brown, so it would work well with both warm and cool skin tones. I have light, yellow tone warm skin, and it gives me a sultry smoky look.
Being a matte shadow, you do need to take the effort to blend, but the results are worth it. You need to build up the colour, but I feel this is for the best, since it allows you to blend better, instead of ending up with a high pigmented mess.
You NEED eye primer! Need. Or it will VANISH quickly. I used eye primer, 13 hours later, this shadow is still on my eyelids.

I love this eyeshadow, it has become a key item for my regular makeup routine. I use it not as an eyeshadow, but as a contour powder (I am NC44). It is a very fine powder and if you rub it between your fingers you will be able to appreciate the smoothness! It performs equally well as an eyeshadow and is a classic brown, suitable for crease-shading, eyelining and eyebrow lining. Will definitely re-purchase this multi-purpose gem!

Nice matte eye shadows are hard to find, and cheap ones are even harder. I've been using some from Urban Decay, but this works wonderfully and is only $4. I put it in the crease and use Wet n Wild's Brulee on my lid I would definitely repurchase.

This is a soft dark brown matte eyeshadow which works really well as a crease color or even as a base for eyeshadow. It's pigmentation is only so-so but its very soft and its super cheap so you definitely won't regret buying it.

Scary as hell. Painfully slow and absolutely torturous is this album from Craft. Fantastic vocals mixed with doomy riffs and some excellent drum patterns make this a brilliant release. Never before have I heard such a mix of black and doom metal. It's addictive too. I'm listening to it again and again. Extremely headbangable material.
Every single track off this monster is a brilliant song. Even though this album has released only last year, and it does sound quite "modern" as such, it still manages to retain an old sound to it. As shocking as this may sound, Craft does have quite a bit of doom influence. The slow riffs, the torturous vocals and the matching drum beats really suggest that these guys are trying to mix the two together. And from the looks of it, they are succeeding!

I don't know if I have dandruff or a dry scalp or what, but I have definite flakage. I have never found something that totally got rid of it until now. I use this every other shampoo. You don't need very much- especially because it's for your scalp. It is a small bottle and it is spendy, but it's worth it. It doesn't smell strongly like other dandruff shampoos I've used.
I hardly ever take the time to write reviews, so trust me and try it!
I suffer from extremely itchy, oily flaky scalp. I tried everything! Nasty coal tar, Denorex, Nizoral, Head and Shoulders, Paul Mitchell tea tree and many others but this is the only shampoo that has soothed and corrected my scalp! It is very drying so I do make sure to use a good hair oil on my ends but so worth it! Never thought I'd find a cure for my horrible scalp condition but I did with Sachajuan! Worth every penny!5
During a cold NYC winter, my scalp felt itchy and dry. This shampoo was perfect - no medicinal smell like a lot of shampoos meant for dry scalps. My hair felt clean, moisturized, and the itching was gone. I also love the aesthetics of this product line - my husband loves the shampoo as well.5
This shampoo works really well. I have bad dandruff and it is one of the only ones that has really helped, and trust me I have tried them all. The scent is subtle, and while the bottle is small, it lasts for a long time if you are only using what you need. I wish it was a little bit more cost friendly, but I can live with the price if it works!4

About John Marshall Clemens
John Marshall Clemens was born in Campbell County, Virginia. He was a lawyer and later a justice of the peace in Hannibal. Because it was difficult on the frontier to make a living as a lawyer, John Clemens also ran a dry goods store and invested in property. Despite his best efforts, Clemens had a difficult time financially supporting his family.
"A native of Virginia, John Clemens was licensed to practice law in 1822. He married Jane Lampton in 1823, and moved to Tennessee, where his first child, Orion, was born. In Jamestown, Tenn., he worked as the town circuit court clerk, and had a law practice on the side. During this time, John accumulated the deeds to more than 70,000 acres of land, which he considered the means to an eventual fortune for his family. These dreams never came to fruition, however, and the land was eventually sold off in the 1880s without making the family wealthy.
"In 1835, John moved his family to Florida, Missouri, the site of Sam Clemens' birth, where he ran a dry goods store. Four years later, the Clemens family settled in Hannibal, Mo., John's final residence. In Hannibal, he opened a general store and was a lawyer. As well, he served as justice of the peace and on a circuit court jury. It was while campaigning for the position of circuit court clerk in March 1847 that John contracted pneumonia and died. Sam Clemens was 11 years old at the time. John Clemens was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery outside Hannibal." [Text quoted from "About Mark Twain"]
Info about children:
Another Tree with good details:
Taken from "The Tennessean, Sunday, March 21, 1982" Nashville, TN.
"According to Allison R. Ensor, professor of English at the University of
Mark Twain's parents, John Marshall Clemens, from Virginia, and Jane
Lampton, from Kentucky, were married in Columbia, Ky, in 1823 and two
years later moved south to Gainesboro, TN where their oldest child,
Orion, was born. John M. Clemens and his wife moved again, about March,
1827 "to the newloy established Fentress County and its county seat of
There John Clemens, a laywer and (according to Mark Twain) a most opulent
citizen of Fentress County," was appointed one of the county
commissioners who drew up specifications for the courthouse and jail.
He became first circuit court clerk o fthe county, served as attorney
general and acquired between 75,000 and 100,000 acres of Fentress County
land. John Clemens bought the land in 5,000 acre parcels over a period
of 12 years and at a price so low that Ensor says the total cost was no
more than $500.
In addition to that, John Clemens "owned land on both sides of the
courthouse square," Ensor said, andhis own house - "said to have been
'unusual for its style and elegenace' - was located one block north of
the block northeast of the courthouse, at present the site of the
Jamestown post office."
Ensor says a small park containing the spring where the Clemens family
got their water stands across the street from the site of the old Clemns
home, and the streen between is now called Mark Twain Avenue.
The Clemns family also lived for a while in Pall Mall, in Fentress
County, and , Ensor states, John Clemens was postmaster there from 1832
to 1835. Clemens was still in Fentress County in late Apri, 1835, but he
had moved his family to the little town of Florida, Mo, months before his
son Samuel (Mark Twain) was born on Nov. 30, 1835.
As a youth he became a clerk in an iron
manufactory, at Lynchburg, and doubtless studied at night. At all events, he acquired an education, but injured his health in
the mean time, and somewhat later, with his mother and the younger children, removed to Adair County, Kentucky, where
the widow presently married a sweetheart of her girlhood, one Simon Hancock, a good man. In due course, John Clemens
was sent to Columbia, the county-seat, to study law. When the living heirs became of age he administered his father's
estate, receiving as his own share three Negro slaves; also a mahogany sideboard, which remains among the Clemens
effects to this day.
ID: I0007 Name: John Marshall Clemens Sex: M Birth: 11 AUG 1798 in Campbell Co., VA Death: 24 MAR 1847 in Hannibal, Marion Co., MO Note: As a youth he became a clerk in an iron manufactory, at Lynchhurg, and doubtless studied at night. At all events, he acquired an education, but injured his health in the mean time. John was left fatherless with two younger brothers and two younger sisters when about seven. When he was 11, with his mother and the younger children, he removed to Adair County, Kentucky, where the widow presently married a sweetheart of her girlhood, one Simon Hancock, a good man. In In 1812, John Clemens was sent to Columbia, the county- seat, to study law, and was licensed to practice in Adair Co., KY in 1822. When the living heirs became of age he administered his father's estate, receiving as his own share three negro slaves; also a mahogany sideboard, which remains among the Clemens effects to this day. ... Marshall had always been frail, probably from lifelong malnutrition; a "weak chest" and severe headaches. In desperation to recoup his fortune and provide for his family he daily took handfuls of pills and various medicines. He filed as Whig candidate for Clerk of the Marion County Court. He made a trip to Palmyra horseback in the rain, contracted pneumonia from which he never recovered. He died 24 March, 1847, in the upstairs apartment of House of Pilasters. He was buried in Baptist cemetery, the grave later moved to Mt. Olivet cemetery in Hannibal.

OTTAWA - Canadian and North American car sales will hit new post-recession peaks this year, predicts a new Scotiabank report, in another indication the hard-hit auto industry is recovering after being on the verge of collapse four years ago.
Scotiabank's latest global auto report predicts vehicle sales in Canada will increase to 1.69 million units in 2013 â just shy of the 1.7 million record set in 2002 â following a strong six per cent pickup in 2012.
Meanwhile, U.S. sales are starting to rebound strongly from the slump of 2009, and will hit 15 million this year. That is still below the pre-recession highs of about 17 million, but the best since the slump.
The outlook is especially rosy for Ontario's automotive industry, which is home to American and Japanese-owned auto assembly plants and their suppliers. Together they build cars, minivans and other vehicles for the Canadian and U.S. markets.
"This is a good story for car dealers and it's a good story for the producers, and all the parts companies in Ontario," said economist Carlos Gomes, author of the report.
"The key driver for the auto market is what's happening in the labour market and if you have employment gains of one-to-1.5 per cent, it is associated with a strengthening auto market," Gomes said.
"And in the United States, they (also) have significantly more replacement demand because the average age of the fleet is now at 11 years and it used to be well below nine."
Despite generally slow growth last year, Canada's economy pumped out an above-consensus expectation 312,00 jobs, all full-time, in the 12 months to December 2012, or a 1.8 per cent gain.
This year, Canadian vehicle sales are expected to be strongest in the resource-extracting provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador â based on prospects that commodity prices and demand will improve with stronger economic fundamentals in the United States and China.
Gomes said Saskatchewan and Newfoundland are believed to have set new records for car sales in 2012, and will break those highs in 2013. Alberta's sales volume is expected to fall just shy of the 249,000 record in 2007.
The rest of the country will see a modest increase, the auto report predicts, but will still fall about six per cent below peak levels.
For North America including Mexico, sales are expected to hit 17.72 million this year, 2.5 million less than in 2011 â the last year for which there is recorded data â but also more than two million from the 2005 peak of 19.7 million.
For the world as a whole, Gomes says sales will grow in all regions this year compared with 2012, except in recession-plagued Western Europe.

In the last several years I have become more and more aware of how disconnected the average consumer is from agriculture. Most people are now living in urban centres and have no connection to the farm. This stranger was a perfect example of this. He had many questions and many misconceptions about modern agriculture.
My buddy and I shot a video for my song This Is My Prairie a couple months ago at my cabin up near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada. The story of the song is about land ownership, oil and gas, big business, individual rights vs. the state, all that stuff. It's a tricky one for me. I have some close relatives and good friends on family farms and ranches, and I've got some in the oil business, too.
In its campaign against the Canadian Wheat Board's single desk system, the Conservative government has invoked the language of "choice," framing its intentions in terms of expanding farmers' options for marketing their produce. State intervention that forcibly undermines the CWB will accomplish exactly the opposite.

Celebrating Ambedkar
April 14 is a public holiday in India for the birth anniversary of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the man who drafted the Constitution of India and also served as the country's first law minister after independence.
Mr. Ambedkar also became an icon for the community known as Dalits, the name adopted by the caste groups known as "untouchables." Mr. Ambedkar experienced the severe social and economic discrimination faced by Dalits from Hindus of other castes, and fought against it all his life. But although he was able to get India's Constituent Assembly to adopt a Constitution that abolished untouchability and discrimination on the basis of caste, many such traditional practices still prevail.
Mr. Ambedkar also championed the rights of other groups, including women. In 1951 , he introduced a draft Hindu Code Bill Parliament that would have provided greater rights to women but was unable to see it passed . Embittered over the lack of support for the legislation, he resigned from India's Cabinet in 1951.
Just a few months before his death in 1956, the law minister decided to convert to Buddhism that inspired many Dalits to convert as well.
