Tories To Settle Old Scores As They Prepare For Future Without Harper
TORONTO — The Conservatives' first convention without Stephen Harper as leader is gearing up to be a settling of old scores and rancorous disputes over same-sex marriage and abortion.
A proposal to scrap the party's belief in marriage as the union of one man and one woman may lead to contentious debate on the convention floor in Vancouver this week.
Those in favour believe the party needs to get on side with the majority of public opinion, and respect court rulings and a law passed in Parliament more than a decade ago.

"A lot of people have realized that we need this to be electable going forward," said 24-year-old Natalie Pon, one of the backers of the resolution.
"We recognize that if the Conservatives form government in 2019, this isn't something that is going to be repealed. We are going to have same-sex marriage going forward."
Pon stressed that she and the resolution's backers, including the group LGBTory, are not proposing a new definition of marriage but only deleting its "limiting definition." They want to be inclusive of all views, she added, by also upholding the rights of religious organizations not to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies.
Social conservatives want to be heard
Social conservatives, however, see this as the latest affront to their values that augurs their diminishing place in the Conservative party.
Already silenced from introducing anti-abortion motions in the Commons during the Tories' majority government, Campaign Life Coalition believes the party is further alienating social conservatives, telling them they are unwanted and their views are unwelcome.
"If you delete the policy on marriage, you'll end up gutting the Conservative Party and driving away its very large social conservative base," Jack Fonseca, Campaign Life Coalition's senior political strategist, told The Huffington Post Canada.
"They won't see themselves or their values reflected in the party anymore, and their support will end," he added. "Many will stop voting and just stay home on election day. They'll stop donating. They'll stop volunteering. They'll stop asking their friends to vote. Gutting the party of these core supporters, activists and donors spells only one thing: a permanent Liberal majority for the foreseeable future."
Three policy proposals mentioning, or indirectly referring to, abortion may also be debated in Vancouver.
"Gutting the party of these core supporters, activists and donors spells only one thing: a permanent Liberal majority for the foreseeable future."
— Jack Fonseca, Campaign Life Coalition
The riding association of Calgary Nose Hill — popular MP Michelle Rempel's riding — wants to add to the party's constitution "a belief in the value and dignity of all human life."
"It is the deepest held belief of our Canadian society that all people, regardless of life situation or age, have intrinsic value and worth and therefore deserve dignity," the riding association writes in explaining their resolution.
If the motion ends up reopening the abortion debate. Fonseca said, so be it.
"Pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious freedom" proposals, he said, will only help the party grow by reflecting the values and attracting support from new immigrants, who tend to come from more socially conservative areas, such as China, India, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Abortion debate looms
Other policy proposals include one that allows doctors and nurses to refuse to perform, or even to refer patients seeking abortions or assisted suicides, and another that condemns discrimination against girls through gender selection abortions.
Alise Mills, a Conservative commentator and communications consultant, told HuffPost she believes the overwhelming majority of party delegates will "shutter" the anti-abortion, anti-same sex marriage group.
"They are very loud, but they are small," she said.
Pointing to the same-sex marriage resolution, Mills said she believes the convention is a chance for the party to decide whether it moves backwards or forwards.
"I think in previous conventions everybody went, 'They are a dying breed, but they are here,' and I think this time around with leadership on the forefront, a change in national executive, an understanding of where our weaknesses were during the last election, it can't just be, 'Yes, we have a solid economic record,' we also need to move forward with a modern approach on social issues."
Tories to 'look forward'
Most Conservatives — aside from social conservatives, Mills said — are rooted in libertarianism.
"That is the majority of the party," she said. "I respect their religious beliefs, but there is no place for that on the floor."
The theme of this year's convention is "look forward" — but many policy proposals are reflective of past debates, past controversies and few forward-looking resolutions.
Some resolutions champion tax reform. One calls for a referendum before any changes to the electoral system are made. Another wants more airline competition and suggests that the federal government allow cabotage — foreign airlines' carrying passengers between domestic airports — on a trial basis.
Many resolutions, however, are focused on the grassroots' trying to claim more control over the party and fixing problems that emerged during Harper's last term in office.
There is a resolution, supported by two B.C. riding associations, to limit the party leader to serving "no more than eight continuous years after being appointed prime minister."
Four riding associations are calling for frequent leadership reviews. Harper, who served as prime minister for nine years, faced no reviews during his time in office.
Story continues after slideshow:
The Angus Reid Institute polled 1,412 Canadians between Oct. 26 and 28, 2015 on the legacy of outgoing prime minister Stephen Harper. The poll had a margin of error of 2.6 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Respondents were given a list of actions taken by Harper's government between 2006 and 2015, and asked to choose its biggest accomplishments and failures. A detailed list of actions can be found online. Here are the results...
Harper's Notable Achievements NOTE: The second-most popular choice was "none of these."
One in three — 36 per cent — chose this as the Harper government's top achievement. (Harper stands in front of TVs displaying a 5% GST during a campaign stop in 2005).
Almost one-quarter — or 24 per cent — highlighted this action as a key achievement. (Harper poses with then-finance minister Joe Oliver as he arrives to table the 2015 federal budget).
13 per cent chose this action as a notable achievement. (Harper gives then-Assembly of First Nations chief Phil Fontaine a standing ovation as he responds to the official apology for residential school abuses in 2008).
12 per cent chose this action as a key achievement. (Harper greets European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in 2013).
Nine (9) per cent chose this action as a key achievement. (Harper drives an ATV across the tundra on Baffin Island, near York Sound, Nunavut).
UP NEXT: Harper's Notable Failures
27 per cent chose this action as the Harper government's most notable failure. (A Canada goose stands on railway tracks as a plant operates in the background in Hamilton, Ont.)
26 per cent of respondents said this action was a failure. (A protester in a Grim Reaper costume protests cuts to science policies during a 2012 rally on Parliament Hill).
20 per cent chose this action as a key failure. (A protester demonstrates against C-51 at a March, 2015 rally in Montreal.)
16 per cent said the combat mission against ISIS was a failure, while 14 per cent said the same of the mission in Afghanistan. (Harper and then-defence minister Peter MacKay look out from a bunker at an operating base in the district of Sperwan Ghar, Afghanistan in 2011.)
13 per cent chose this as a key failure. (Harper holds up a pile of money during a 2015 campaign event).
UP NEXT: Defeated Tory Cabinet Ministers
Though Stephen Harper was re-elected in his Calgary riding in the 2015 federal election, many members of his cabinet went down in defeat. Here are some key figures from Harper's inner circle who will not be returning to Ottawa...
Cabinet position: Minister of citizenship and immigration Riding: Ajax First elected: 2011
Cabinet position: Minister of finance Riding: Eglinton-Lawrence (Toronto) First elected: 2011 Oliver also previously served as minister of natural resources
Cabinet position: Minister of aboriginal affairs Riding: Madawaska—Restigouche (N.B.) First elected: 2011 (though he was a Progressive Conservative MP from 1984 to 1993).
Cabinet position: Associate defence minister Riding: Vaughan First elected: 2010 Fantino is probably better remembered for his controversial tenure as minister of veterans affairs.
Cabinet position: Minister of the environment Riding: Nunavut First elected: 2008 Aglukkaq previously served as minister of health, and was the first Inuk in Canadian history named to federal cabinet.
Cabinet position: Minister of natural resources Riding: Kenora First elected: 2008 Rickford previously served as minister of state for science and technology.
Cabinet position: Minister of fisheries and oceans Riding: Egmont (P.E.I.) First elected: 2008
Cabinet position: Minister of state for multiculturalism Riding: Edmonton—Sherwood Park First elected: 2008 Uppal also previously served as minister of state for democratic reform.
Cabinet position: Minister of state for science and technology Riding: London West First elected: 2008
Cabinet position: Chief government whip Riding: Vancouver Island North First elected: 2008 (though he also served as an MP from 1993 to 2006). Duncan previously served as minister of aboriginal affairs.
UP NEXT: Defeated NDP incumbents
In the 2015 federal election, Thomas Mulcair's New Democrats fell from 95 seats to 44. And several high-profile incumbents from across the country were defeated, usually to Liberal candidates. Here are a few key names that will not be returning to Ottawa...
First elected: 2006 Riding: Ottawa Centre Shadow cabinet role: Foreign affairs Dewar also ran for the leadership of the party in 2012.
First elected: 2008 Riding: Halifax Shadow cabinet role: Deputy leader, environment
First elected: 1997 Riding: Sackville—Eastern Shore (N.S.) Shadow cabinet role: Veterans affairs Stoffer was named Maclean's magazines Parliamentarian of the year in 2013 and frequently won the most congenial MP award.
First elected: 2008 Riding: St. John's East Shadow cabinet role: National defence Harris was also the longtime leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador New Democratic Party.
First elected: 2012 Riding: Toronto Danforth Shadow cabinet role: Democratic and parliamentary reform Scott represented the Toronto riding held by former leader Jack Layton.
First elected: 2008 Riding: Welland Shadow cabinet role: Agriculture and Agri-Food
First elected: 2011 (though she served from 2004-2006 as a Liberal MP) Riding: Gatineau Shadow cabinet role: Justice
First elected: 2011 Riding: Halifax Atlantic Shadow cabinet role: Fisheries, deputy employment insurance Chisholm served as leader of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party and ran for the federal leadership in 2012.
First elected: 2011 Riding: St. John's South—Mount Pearl Shadow cabinet role: Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
First elected: 2011 Riding: Newton—North Delta Shadow cabinet role: Employment and Social Development
First elected: 1997 Riding: Winnipeg Centre Shadow cabinet role: Public Works and Government Services Martin is perhaps the most quotable politician in Canada.
"Based on past experience, it would be valuable for the grassroots to evaluate the leader of the party on a more regular basis," the riding of Esquimault–Saanich–Sooke says of its suggestion that the leader should face biennial reviews and retain a minimum of 80 per cent support in order to stay on.
"The grassroots have an ear to the ground and can provide an objective view of the greater majority — the public," they write. "Limiting the length in which a leader can be the leader of the party enables the party to sever ties with an incumbent leader who may have passed his or her prime."
Harper obtained 84 per cent during a leadership review in 2005, a year before the Tories won a minority government.
The riding of South Surrey–White Rock points to the party's policy supporting the care of wounded and disabled soldiers and notes that, despite the wishes of the membership, the Conservative government fought a class-action lawsuit brought forward by injured Afghan veterans.
A mandatory leadership review at each national convention would encourage the leader to "respect the wishes and direction of the membership," it says.

One resolution from the ridings of Kitchener–Conestoga and Edmonton Griesbach notes that Harper hand-picked controversial former aide Dimitri Soudas as executive director of the party. They propose that the national council, not the leader, appoint the day-to-day party manager.
"We all know how wonderful an executive director Dimitri Soudas turned out to be, and the leader's pick for executive director was an absolute disaster!," they wrote.
Soudas was forced to resign from his position after interfering in a contested nomination race involving his then-girlfriend and Conservative MP Eve Adams. She abandoned that contest and later joined the Liberals, but failed to win a nomination race.
The ridings of Kitchener–Conestoga and Edmonton Griesbach also want "better monitoring" of the Conservative Fund Canada, the fund that Nigel Wright, Harper's former chief of staff, said he and Tory Senator Irving Gerstein were planning to use to pay senator Mike Duffy's contested expenses. Instead of having the leader nominate the fund's directors, the ridings want MPs and national council members to do it, to ensure "better and more transparent oversight."
No longer the 'Stephen Harper show'
They also propose an information technology oversight committee to ensure better oversight of efforts to update the Conservatives' national membership database. Between $7 and $9 million was wasted on a new database, known as C-Vote, with no oversight by the national council, they wrote. "Setting up an IT oversight would have prevented the needless waste of [the] Party's money."
A handful of resolutions also seek to help the party grow. They range from lowering the cost of the membership fee, to setting up a youth wing, to creating committees in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver to help enhance the party's chances in urban areas where the Tories were completely shut out.
While some resolutions clearly express the grassroots' frustrations, Tim Powers, the vice-chairman of Summa Strategies and a frequent Tory commentator, told HuffPost several proposals also recognize that in order to win, the party needs to grow.
For 12 years, Powers said, it's been "the Stephen Harper show, and I think people want to say through resolutions and through appearance at convention … that what worked for Stephen Harper was good. But it didn't work in the end, and we [the grassroots] need to be part and parcel of any process going forward, if we are all going to succeed."
Some resolutions are coming forward now because Harper no longer controls the machinery of the party and there is no permanent leader, he said.
Party 'paranoid' about supporter class category
But Powers expressed surprise that the Conservatives' grassroots had not proposed a further opening up of the party — something akin to the Liberals' supporter-class category, which is credited with bringing tens of thousands of new people and new donors to the Grits.
Some members' remain "paranoid," he said, that the Tories will get hijacked by interest groups, but at a time when people are less interested in partisan politics and everybody is competing for attention and time, he believes the party "can't be afraid to experiment."
The Liberals, who are also holding a convention this weekend, will be debating in Winnipeg whether the party should do away completely with membership in order to attract a larger base.
What some observers fear will happen in Vancouver, however, is hijacking of a different sort — a return to the old battles of the conservative movement, the Progressive Conservatives versus the Reform parts of the party.

One resolution that embodies that divide is a review of the way future leaders are selected, the current weighted point system that gives every riding — regardless of the size of its party membership — equal weight or whether, as proposed, the party should adopt a one member, one vote system.
Mills, based in Vancouver, and Powers, who is from Newfoundland, embody that disagreement.
Who will carry the day will depend in great part in who shows up.
While Conservative party spokesman Cory Hann insists that some 3,000 delegates are expected this weekend, some insiders believe the figure will be closer to a thousand. Many MPs have complained publicly about the $940 attendance fee and the expense of flying and staying in Vancouver, which makes it a near impossibility for many members.
A large crowd is expected to show up Thursday evening, however, when festivities kick off and Harper addresses the party faithful — for the first time in public since election night on Oct. 19.

Harper is expected to deliver a short speech. A source close to him said he wants to focus on his Conservative government's accomplishments and the need to keep the party united.
"Is he going to be graceful and not give us a forward vision that can be affixed to him, or will he look to give a big epistle on the state of the country as he sees it?," Powers asked. "Harper signalled that he is prepared not to be the face and focus of the Conservative party, and for now that's a good thing, and I think if he sends a message in that vein, it sends a message to the membership that they too need to look forward and not back — and I think that's absolutely crucial."
Like many conventions, however, much of the action will happen behind the scenes, in hospitality suites and convention corridors. The water cooler chat will focus on who the next party leader should — or will — be.
So far, only MPs Michael Chong, Kellie Leitch and Maxime Bernier have officially declared their candidacy. Bigger names such as businessman and television personality Kevin O'Leary, MPs Jason Kenney, Lisa Raitt, Tony Clement, and former speaker Andrew Scheer, as well as former MP Peter MacKay are staying on the sidelines for now though a few will have speaking roles at the convention.
"Harper signalled that he is prepared not to be the face and focus of the Conservative party, and for now that's a good thing."
— Tim Powers
Interim party leader Rona Ambrose, who is expected to sit down and take the stage with the official candidates on Friday afternoon, has been the subject of a "draft Rona" campaign, although she has said she has no interest in the permanent job.
It is still possible a motion could be brought forward at convention that could allow her to run for the leadership should she change her mind.
The party's constitution currently prevents the interim leader from becoming a candidate in the leadership selection process.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
If I'm drinking wine, I have no real regard for food or filtering my words.
Now if you had said breakfast we could have had a different answer.
It depends. If I'm cooking, I'm going to pretend that half a bottle of wine was called for by the recipe.
Why will it only let me select one? I do all four!!!!
I figured the last one covered it all. If at home, it varies between during and after, depending if we're finishing the bottle that night. Sometimes we'll go to a wine tasting and then go for dinner, in which case we've had most of it before and then probably just have a cocktail or beer with dinner.
No regard! I totally don't care what I'm eating. I like to drink what I want & eat what I want. I don't drink a lot DURING the mean. Mostly before & after....a LOT.

Research Institution
AbstractZONA Technology, Inc. (ZONA) proposes a R&D effort to develop a Parameter-Varying Estimation (PVE) Toolbox that will rapidly evaluate and predict parameters that are required to certify an aircraft during flutter envelope and flying qualities programs. The work carried out successfully during the Phase I led to the formulation and proof-of-concept validation strategy to predict Flutter/Limit Cycle Oscillation/Pilot-Induced-Oscillations (Flutter/LCO/PIO) phenomena with short or long duration flight test data segments. The PVE Toolbox core algorithms are built upon an integrated parameter estimation framework with flight-condition dependency. These algorithms were proven to be robust enough to tolerate real testing environments. The procedure calls for parameter-varying models to be quickly tuned with modal information embedded in the flight-test data, while block-oriented models can be used to highlight the underlying nonlinear structure embedded in the data. In Phase II, the PVE Toolbox will be furnished with expedient, accurate and computationally efficient routines for nonlinear model estimation, parameter varying operators and stability analysis. The PVE Toolbox is aimed at providing an expedient on-line prediction capability for flutter/LCO/PIO phenomena to be seamlessly integrated with current control room procedures. Deliverables include the PVE Toolbox production software including a GUI, the related user's and application manuals as well as on-site training course.

Why Chernobyl will take 3,000 years to recover
Marlene Breverman stashed this in Chernobyl
A power surge during a reactor test led to an explosion of Unit 4 on April 26, 1986 and subsequent fires throughout the plant. Approximately 150,000 square kilometers of land between Belarus, Ukraine and Russia (an area larger than the state of New York) was contaminated so severely that 8 million people suffered serious land use restrictions or relocation and 5 million people still live in zones considered radioactive in 2016.
Stashed in: Awesome, The World, Russia and Friends, Russia, Environmental Impacts
Because some of the isotopes released during a nuclear accident remain radioactive for tens of thousands of years, cleanup is the work not just of the first responders but also of their descendants and their descendants' descendants," writes Time's Eben Harrell and James Marson. "Asked when the reactor site would again become inhabitable, Ihor Gramotkin, director of the Chernobyl power plant, replies 'At least 20,000 years.'"
While the overall wildlife populations appeared strong, the team could not determine the lingering radiation's effects on individual animals. The scientists did suggest that "current levels of exposure are not limiting the distributions" of several of the surveyed species.
"We didn't find any evidence to support the idea that populations are suppressed in highly contaminated areas," said co-author James Beasley said in a University of Georgia press release. "What we did find was these animals were more likely to be found in areas of preferred habitat that have the things they need – food and water."

Lets Not Forget Family
So I've realised..I never mention my family.
My stepbrother appeared again last week and took over the house with his fiancee and baby, I don't mind but for the fact that I can't even go into my own room anymore, and have been relocated to the caravan for the time being.
He always seems to cause arguments. He isn't able to eat what he wants recently and as a result has been taking out his frustration on our younger sister, while lavishing attention on the baby and myself; his 'favourite' sister. I wouldn't encourage it as much if my Mother didn't show such favouritism to her over me.
But then I'm used to being the middle child, what with my oldest brother with a new family and always getting into trouble before that, my second brother, her first born, a genius at University and in her mind, unable to cope without seeing her every weekend, and my youngest sister, daughter of the love of her life (ech) and social inept to a degree that I'm embarrassed for her everytime we go out, even moreso than a usual teenage aversion to being seen with family members.
And then there's me; didn't get the best grades at GSCE, failed out of three out of four of my A-levels and now doing another 'waste of time' course about Media. I argue, and when I'm not, I'm curled up on a chair with my laptop or a book.
Maybe she's threatened by how much I stand against her, the fact that I know that she isn't going to keep the promises she makes and is going to end up living in her chair in front of the TV surrounded by cats, until the day she dies and is eaten by them....Umm, I didn't mean that...my sister will never leave home and will look after her.

Philly-by-way-of-L.A. duo Girlpool came to Amoeba Hollywood on June 2, the release day of their debut LP, Before the World Was Big, for an intimate, special performance. But the cool thing about Girlpool is that all of their performances feel this way; with just two members, Cleo Tucker (guitar) and Harmony Tividad (bass) and no drummer, Girlpool place the focus on their songs, which feel small enough to fit in your hands but are deceptively intricate and lyrically oblique, forcing you to turn them over and try to figure them out.
The band began with album opener "Ideal World," which puts their feminist message at the forefront, declaring "Put me on a food stamp and a Hallmark card/Tranquilize me with your ideal world." Single "Chinatown" followed, the song moving from a serene folk feel and walking bassline to cutting noise. The duo sounded most confident when they sang in unison on lines like "If I told you I loved you, would you take it the wrong way?" The band stayed away from their self-titled EP's initially grabbing songs, "Jane" and "Blah Blah Blah," and instead played "Paint Me Colors," a more morose tune with lyrics like "I'll never understand what it means to be a man who is white 'cause he never has to fight" and a noisey ending reminiscent of Dramarama's "Anything, Anything."

Page 44 - Chapter Five
The forest was silent as the remaining dark still loomed over the Southland. Only the sounds of insects and early birds echoed through the thick canopy of the Thorned Ridge. The smell of rain and wet Ansi root drifted through the air as gusts of winds rustled the vegetation. The storm from the night before drenched the entire landscape, small puddles gathered atop the water logged soil. Only a slight drizzle remained, but it was enough to worry the clay armed Awkid as he stood atop the deck of his tree house.
Revealing a rolled up cloth bandage from his green tunic, the dwarf began wrapping his strange limb from its fingers to his shoulder. Though it brought great power to the lone dwarf, it was a burden, especially in the rain. He finished quickly, double checking to see if everything was covered before he walked back into his home.
The room was dark aside from the dim light of a candle brushing against the walls of the small cabin. The Dwarf closed the door softly trying not to disturb his Hobbit guest who rested in the hammock across the room — exhausted from the beginning of an ambitious journey.
Awkid was still trying to figure out how the Hobbit managed to reach the pass alone, but more importantly why he would want to go to the Mog Brush. He saw his books and the strange stones he carried, it was certainly magic, he had seen it before. Awkid had a feeling he was dealing with someone who could be of use to him.
His eyes shifted to his now cloaked clay arm, it was a curse he didn't ask for, but perhaps a gift he deserved. In the past told himself there was no reason to seek out the Mystic who did this to him. Time simply passed by too quickly for him to question who she was. Yet lurking in the back of his mind was the desire to understand the truth.
Grabbing the candle from the table he walked to a short bookcase next to the door and lowered himself to one knee. The dwarf guided the candle across the shelves revealing an odd mix of books, some on hunting and foraging, others on cooking, there were even a few novels and stories he read on a rainy day.
To Balamor it would have been a mess, but Awkid had his own way of organizing things. Two books made their way to the vacant dining table with a third under the gaze of Awkid Anvorbeard. His eyes were glued to the text within the shabby cloth book he called his journal. It was nearly falling apart as he flipped through its pages. Years of travel were documented in this book.
He was almost a quarter through its contents when his bulky finger underlined the entry he was looking for. It was from his trip to the Mog Brush, or at least to its borders — the Bounds of Akinn.

Chapter Seven - Jen
I couldn't be. No. I wasn't. I refused to believe it.
How could I become the thing I hated most? I felt sick. I felt sick to the core. My skin felt dirty and I felt unholy.
"You do realise what Frank will do when he finds out." Ben whispered, his head in his hands.
It had happened a year ago. Big Sam had gone for a hunt and had come back with a bite on his leg. His screams had filled the house that night, and his heart still lay in a case at the top of the stairs.
"Ben, I'm sorry." I whimpered. "What am I going to do?"
I didn't want to die. I was too young. I had too much energy. But did I really want to live as a Werewolf? Surely death would be better than that fate.
"You going to listen to me. I am not going to loose you." Ben said looking up. He stood up and walked to the door. Glancing both ways, he stepped back in and shut the door.
"Can you stand up?" He said, putting his head to the sides. I shrugged. I hadn't tried since I had woken up. He came to my side, and helped me turn around.
"On three." He muttered. Slowly counting, he lifted me up and then let go. I stood for a second, uncertain.
"Take a step, Jen." He said, putting his arms out, ready to catch me. I gulped. I lifted my leg and as I placed it in front of me a sharp pain ran through the length of my body.
"Oh my! No, I can't do it Ben. I'm sorry." I whimpered. I could feel tears at the brim of my eyes.
"Don't worry. Let me think." He sat me back down.
So we were going to do it. We were going to run. I didn't have a clue what we would do, or where we would go. As far as I knew there was not one place on earth that was safe from Frank's spies. Well apart from the Werewolves villages.
"Are you okay if I leave you for a second?" Ben said, looking at me. I nodded my head. He left the room, and about five minutes later strolled in with a wheel chair.
"Get on." He said, grinning. I nearly laughed, but the seriousness of the situation made me unable to.
"Help me?" I asked him. He came over and gently lifted me up. My back ached, but I bit my tongue. I didn't want Ben to worry. He placed me in the wheel chair, then spun me round.

Sarah Hipperson. 70 and Elizabeth Walford, 77, said that the production of nuclear weapons broke "the laws of God" - something everyone is duty bound to uphold.
In what may be a landmark case, Reading Crown Court was told that the two women had been among of protesters who cut the fence at Burghfield Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in Berkshire. They carried out their protest on 5 August 1996, the 51st anniversary of the first military use of an atomic bomb at Hiroshima.
Barnaby Evans, prosecuting, said that the pair, with two others, had cut the fence 74 times, causing pounds 10,200 worth of damage. The court was told that the women made no attempt to run away when they were arrested by Ministry of Defence officers.
Ms Hipperson told officers: "I would like to say that I cut the fence because of Crown land, belonging to Her Majesty the Queen. Under the 1558 Coronation Oath (of Elizabeth 1) all citizens of the country, including officers of the Ministry of Defence and AWE, have to obey the laws of God. I believe what is happening in AWE Burghfield is contrary to the law of God and that is why I cut the fence."
Mr Evans said: "These defendants are anti-nuclear campaigners ... You may agree with their views or you may disagree but it would be hard for anyone to doubt their sincerity."
Both women, who gave their address as Yellow Gate at the women's peace camp, Greenham Common, Berkshire, deny damaging property.
The case continues.

9 Ways to Encourage Indoor Kids to Play Outside
When I was a child, "Go outside and play," was a phrase my sisters and I heard frequently from Mom and Dad. We were lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood where most homes came with large yards or open space nearby. If the sun was shining, we were encouraged to go outside and occupy ourselves, armed with nothing but a friend or our own imagination. There was plenty of outdoor exploring to do and the lure of technology had not yet taken hold. Our homes and our lives were not monopolized by cellphones, DVR's, computer games, or 24 hour television networks. Today, life is much different. The places and spaces where families live and grow are not always conducive to a child having "free reign" of the neighborhood, nor do kids take it upon themselves to just go outside to explore or play as much. There are too many distractions which make it more convenient to stay occupied indoors or wait for that scheduled play date to arrive. Don't get me wrong; it's wonderful if kids choose to curl up and read their favorite book or have an afternoon of crafting with Mom, but it's also wise to encourage free play, exercise, and exploration in our children. This is important for their physical, psychological, and social development. So, how do we get kids to spend more time outdoors? Here are a few ideas: Take a favorite indoor activity outside. Encouraging kids to take their "inside" toys outdoors can inspire them to explore play in new ways. Playing dress-up or stacking building blocks in the back yard can spark the imagination. A favorite pack of colored pencils and a stack of blank paper will bring the budding artist out when surrounded with nature and the great outdoors. Expand your indoor living space outdoors. A covered deck or three season porch can provide extra room during hot summer days or cooler autumn months to extend play spaces all year long. This can be a perfect spot to play board games or complete a puzzle. Plan outdoor family time. Planning a specific activity outdoors is a great way for Mom and Dad to set an example and to incorporate family time into daily routines. Everyone can get some exercise during the family walk after dinner or plan a weekend picnic at the neighborhood park. Vary your environment. Exposing kids to different outdoor places challenges them to look at the world in different ways. Spend a day at the beach or take a farm tour. Experiencing nature firsthand is a fun and interactive way to teach kids to appreciate the outdoors. The more the merrier. If play dates are the norm in your neighborhood, make a play date for an outside activity. It can act as an incentive to persuade the "inside child" to spend some time outdoors and having another little person around may be the spark that's needed to ignite that exploratory spirit. Share outdoor chores. A creative way to get kids outdoors is to enlist their help with outside chores. Have them help you wash the car or come along when walking the dog; it teaches responsibility and helps them to develop everyday life skills. Water play. It's a proven fact; kids love to splash, jump in, or pour water. If this sounds like your child, send them outside to make some mud pies, have them sail their toy boats in the kiddie pool for the afternoon, or even let them help you water the garden. Getting wet acts as a sensory activity and stimulates brain and cognitive development. No worries about the mess. No need to stress about messy hands and feet, just prepare ahead of time and have soap, water, facecloths, and towels by the back door to reduce the mess before they step back into the house once playtime's over. Good habits are hard to break. If possible, make it a routine to spend at least one hour outdoors each day. Having outdoor time on a consistent basis encourages a child to appreciate, respect, and play with the natural world around them.

A/N: I have no idea what I'm doing or how I'm going to end this.
If you're hopelessly obsessed with the BBC's Sherlock as I am then I hope you enjoy this. I hope it's not the worst one you've ever read xD Eventual Angst/Mature Content/Hurt/Comfort
Reviews are welcome but please be gentle D:
Disclaimer: If I owned BBC I would have no need for fanfiction.
Chapter 1.
And breathe...
Sherlock's eyes snapped open. Lying on the bed disoriented, he was barely aware that he was safely inside his flat at 221B Baker street instead of that dreaded pool.
Steeling himself with another deep breath, Sherlock remarked to the incident that occurred only few days ago. The shock that he had felt when he first saw John, pale faced, push through the pool-side door, the panic as he saw the explosive vest hidden under his coat, the curiosity towards his new-found rival, Moriarty...
The name sent chills down his spine, giving him uncontrollable nightmares since the bloody thing. Sherlock rubbed his temples in frustration but, how did one fully control one's subconscious? He never had much patience for dreams, let alone nightmares. Sighing, he swung his legs over and leapt from his bed, reeling in as much energy as possible to start another sleepless day. Not that he was a stranger to this behavior, God no, he just hadn't been expecting this extreme physical exhaustion as well. Almost as if his body had never recovered and now betrayed him at every turn.
He briefly checked his phone before standing up, 'No new messages' lit up the screen in a rather mocking way. Nothing from Mycroft, nothing from Lestrade, but, more importantly, nothing from Moriarty.
Well, there went his mood. He thumped rather angrily into the kitchen to brew some tea. He grumbled to himself along the way, meaningless jabber about the temperature of the flat, though he was only wearing his silk robe. He placed the kettle on the stove and began the short process of boiling the water.
He scratched an itch and stared at the kitchen table. To an outsider, it looked like a slob's desk that doubled as a dinner table, but Sherlock knew it was cluttered with his ongoing experiments and perhaps a few dishes from when John managed to feed him. John, the best friend he could ever hope for was forever pushing him to behave semi-normally and constantly reminding him of the things he would normally have wrote off as unnecessary. A personal alarm, making sure Sherlock ate and had enough sleep; John had been the most effective motherly role in his awkward existence, as silly as it seemed to say.
Speaking of, a creak of a door let Sherlock know that his flatmate was up as well. He turned his attention back to the pot of tea that was beginning to whistle on the stove top as John, bleary-eyed, strolled into the kitchen with a slurred, "G'mornin'." Sherlock pulled the kettle off the stove, readied two mugs, all the while noting the sleep deprived face of John Watson.
Sherlock didn't reply with words, he merely place the mug of hot tea in front of John. John reached for it blowing on the scalding drink before asking, "Any milk?"
Sherlock snickered, "If you like it rotten, then yes, I suppose we do." John rolled his eyes, "No, thanks." The two shared more silence just sipping away tea in the early morning, John seated at the kitchen table and Sherlock leaning against the counter. Sherlock briefly glanced over his cup to John, eying the bags under his eyes and the unnecessarily strong grip that handled such a fragile mug.
"Are you working later today?"
"Yeah, I've got to pop in about seven, but I should be back around four. Sarah said we'd be swamped today."
Sherlock muttered a noncommittal noise in agreement and felt a sigh go through him as he wondered what he could do that day to bring the buzzing of his mind to a calmer plane. Perhaps Lestrade would contact him or maybe a client with an interesting case would ring. It was anyone's guess, but Sherlock was glad to have spent a few calm moments in the safety of his flat enjoying the company of his only friend.

Regents uphold firing of University of Iowa professor
Administrators said Juweid harassed UI colleagues
Feb 7, 2013 at 8:43 am | Print View
The Iowa Board of Regents has voted to uphold the firing of a University of Iowa radiology professor who engaged in harassing behavior toward colleagues.
A spokeswoman said Thursday the board voted unanimously Wednesday afternoon for the termination of Malik Juweid after considering his appeal in closed session.
Juweid's attorney, Rockne Cole, said earlier this week he expected the board to uphold the firing, and that he would file a petition in Polk County asking a judge to find flaws in the termination process. He contends University President Sally Mason had a conflict in ordering Juweid's firing while he was suing her and other university officials.Juweid has remained in the news because he's pressing criminal charges in his native Jordan against two university officials involved in his firing.

All reader reviews by Jules
Locale (Blackheath)
I went for lunch yesterday with my cousin, and it was probably one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. My cousinhad squid as a starter and it was overcooked. I had carpaccio of beef which had a slimy texture. Our main meals were even worse. I had Baked Cod which had so much sauce on the plate you couldn't see it. The sauce tasted like tinned tomatoes with a few mixed herbs frown in. My cousin had Saltambocco which again was quite inedible, the alcohol in the sauce had not been burnt off and it was very watery. All in all a very poor lunch. To top it all we had a voucher for £50 as there had been a problem on a previous visit. Considering this and the fact that the Saltambocco had been taken off the bill, we still had to pay a further £20. So the total bill came to £85.00. I will definitely never go there again.

Posts Tagged 'Gimp'.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Gimp'.
You know, we use ad-blockers as well. We gotta keep those servers running though. Did you know that we publish useful books and run friendly conferences — crafted for pros like yourself? E.g. our upcoming SmashingConf New York, dedicated to smart front-end techniques and design patterns.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Gimp'.
What would you do if you were suddenly stranded on a desert island in the middle of nowhere, with only a USB drive, a dial-up internet connection, and a barebones computer with no software outside the operating system installed? Of course, you'd use the internet connection to call for help first, but what about after that? How would you keep your design business going?
Okay, maybe a scenario that's a bit more likely would work better. What if your computer crashed, wiping out all of your data and programs, and you have a deadline in two days? Or maybe you want to be able to pick up and leave at a moment's notice without taking anything more than a change of clothes and a USB drive. If you have the apps below, neither of those scenarios would be much of a problem.
The apps on this list can help you with everything from coding to graphics to running your business and managing your projects, all from a single USB drive. And while USB drives are getting bigger all the time (last I checked a 64GB one wasn't too badly priced, and that's 4GB more storage than my current MacBook has), you still need special programs in most instances to have true portability. The apps below are just that: truly portable and small enough to fit on a USB drive (often a very small USB drive).Read more...
The Photoshop community is choc-full of many free resources, tutorials, tips and techniques, .psd files and even Actions. There is one area that it sadly lacks in, and that is free plugins and filters. Of course, Photoshop has been the pioneer in graphic editor development for a long time now, and with each new version (its current version is CS4) has added an endless supply of features and addons, and as a result, perhaps the need for free plugins or filters is no longer required. Or has it been ignored? [Content Care Jan/03/2017]
Traditionally plugins are an amateur photographer's best friend, take your shots, fire up Photoshop, apply some well preset filters, and hey presto you have a reasonably professional image. Professional photographers have been known to use plugins as a base and then tweak and add effects to achieve there own personal professional touch. Plugins are basically an indispensable tool that do not recieve the attention they deserve. And that brings us back to our original mystery, why are there so few free plugins and filters? Do you know the answer? I don't.
In this A-Z of free Photoshop plugins and filters you will find a few plugins that are (almost) as old as time itself, do not fear, they will work perfectly on all versions of Photoshop and the effect they produce are just as useful now as they were then. If you are looking for a simple and easy method to add effects to an image, this is the post for you.Read more...
GIMP is the favorite graphics editing program of many designers and graphic artists. It is free and compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux (the two big reasons for its popularity). It has a wide array of features, as well as plug-ins, filters and brushes. Documentation is primarily available in online communities, as well as through extensive add-ons.
GIMP was never designed to replace Photoshop, yet with every release, it comes a little closer to being able to do so. It can be used to author graphics, create logos and edit photos, as well as make short animations (using GAP). Despite these features, the open-source app is a foreign world for many users switching from Photoshop. Familiar tools are missing, menus are laid out differently and tasks must be accomplished in unknown ways.
This article discusses eight tweaks to make GIMP a more serious Photoshop replacement option. Version 2.6 was used to test the following tweaks, but past versions of the app should work as well.Read more...

This year has been filled with so many activities, people, events, etc, that have affected my life in one form or the other but I'll share this particular one now because it's fresh.
For the first time in my life, I was really put down in front of close to fifteen people. When I say put down, I mean my personality was seriously attacked in a management meeting. I work for an oil and gas firm, we come together on Monday mornings to have what we call "Operations Meeting". The management staff and some senior staff meet to discuss the operations of the previous week, and then make projections for the new week.
Join The Nigerian Women BBM Channel
To get this meeting rolling, the different business units make presentations concerning their units and at the end questions are asked and clarifications are made. While I was making my own presentation, the DMD began to ask a few questions which I answered to the best of my knowledge. He spotted out some errors in my presentation, and started to criticize. He began to tongue lash me in a way he had never done before, he used so many derogatory words that made me angry, called me all sorts of names, in front of close to 15 people including my subordinates. This was the height of humiliation!
At some point I could not take it any more I got up and walked out of the meeting to get myself together because it got to a point I couldn't hold back the tears from falling. After some minutes, I went back into the conference room as I was the one coordinating the meeting and had to see it through, he continued from where he stopped and this upset me real bad. I had a real bad Monday morning.
After some hours, he called me into his office, we talked, I gave him a piece of my mind and he apologized (after a lot of people confronted him about the incidence).
My learning points from this incidence are as follows:
- Never let anyone's comments about you get to you.
- When you are put down never retaliate in anger as you will only end up bringing yourself down to the other person's level.
- You don't need someone else's approval of you self. Just be you, that way whatever comments made doesn't get you upset.
- Don't give room for criticism of any kind by making sure you put in your best in whatever you do.
Being put down in isn't very pleasant to deal with but I have decided to use it to my own advantage by working on my weaknesses and focusing more on my strengths. That is the best solution to being destructively criticized.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. It's not every day that you find yourself in need of a replacement Wheel Hub & Bearing to repair your vehicle. Your Volvo dealership isn't the only place to buy the highest quality replacement parts for your S80. Volvo automobile owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of a reputation for safety when driving their S80 around town.
In the earliest forms of transportation, it was realized that the wheel would turn much more efficiently if some friction was reduced at the space where it rotated. Believe it or not, your Volvo S80 has a suspension and drive train that is built upon ideas and inventions that are millennia old; including the axle and wheel hub. The wheels are bolted to the wheel hub assembly; providing them with a flat surface that rotates with as little friction as possible. Since half of your Volvo S80 wheel hub bolts to the wheel carrier while the other half rotates, it requires a tapered roller-type wheel bearing be pressed into it. Depending on your vehicle options or the complexity of the wheel hub assembly, your ABS ring and sensor may be included with it as well.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you select the correct Volvo S80 part for your needs. Bring your S80 back to life with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Buying new Volvo parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement S80 parts on the internet. Volvo S80 Wheel Hub & Bearing parts for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

What sources for down do you know of? Looking for 700-900 fill. I see some at T-H, but was hoping for another source. Thanks.
@cmuthigLocale: Georgia
I know HammockGear.com sells down at 6.50 an oz, which is a pretty good price. 800+ fill. I think there is a place that will sell for 5.50 an oz somewhere, but I can't remember the site.
This is the link to hammockgear
@dblcoronaLocale: Southeast MI
If hammock gear is out I have ordered from wildernesslogics.com
Same price
Down-lite sells 800, 700, and 600 FP down by the pound:
Feathertex is the cheapest I have seen online, but they have no stock until this fall.
Feather Industries, in Toronto, sells in quantities as small as two pounds at a premium to their normal minimum of twenty pounds. They were very nice in pointing me to down-lite (above), which was more economical for an order of one pound. Feather Industries also suggested checking with Pacific Coast Feather, and United Feather & Down. I did not call those last two.
DownByThePound.com has 800 fill power down for $5.50/oz when you buy 1 lbs.

SESSION TITLE: Tobacco Cessation and Prevention
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: To determine whether switching from tobacco cigarettes to EC reduces shortness of breath and coughing, and increases activity.
METHODS: We searched our Electronic Medical Record System and identified 205 patients who reported using EC as part of a tobacco smoking cessation plan. Research assistants conducted telephone surveys with those who agreed to participate. The survey included questions about smoking history, smoking cessation history, and changes in symptoms (shortness of breath and coughing) and activity level since beginning EC use. We used STATA Version 13 to calculate a test of proportion to compare reported changes in symptoms in smokers versus ex-smokers.

Say she throws Huma under the bus like say a series of emails from Huma to her mother-"dearest Mummie- Durka Durka! Jihad, Durka Durka!
did you get the plans to the
B-2 I sent you?" etc. this is
not out of the realm of possibility and Huma may find out she's not favored at all.
I think there will be alot of desperation being generated
from the Clinton war room...
"James, put down that live mouse. not here!" "But ah haven't eaten since moltin'

That sort of thing.

Praise for A Seal's Temptation
"The realism and worry in loving a member of the military takes center stage as Lark and Shane's relationship develops in ways neither expected."
–RT Book Reviews
"An uber-sexy romance any military romance fan will enjoy!"
–Coffee Addicts Book Reviews
"I found myself impressed with the way Tawny drew me into the story right from the very beginning, entertaining me with a wit that I found irresistible."
–Maldivian Book Reviews
In A Seal's Temptation, (Harlequin; $5.50) Lark Sommers's dry spell is officially a sex-starved desert. Since taking over her mom's quirky coffee shop in Nowhere, Idaho – putting her own career on permanent hold –Lark's been, well, miserable. But her friends have a plan…one that starts with a super-hot guy with a rockin' hard bod.
US Navy SEAL Shane O'Brian has no clue he's being set up. All he knows is that Lark does incredible things to his libido. Still, Shane can't quite bring himself to tell her what he does for a living. After all, their risqué business is temporary – no strings, no falling in love…especially when there's no way this SEAL would ever be tempted into anything more than a sexy little fling.
My favorite song from the playlist;
1 US winner
Good luck!

Studio Ghibli in real life
I saw the Ghibli documentary this weekend and loved it. The worlds they create are just wonderful. Their characters and stories leap off the screen and in this video, right into real life..
The trailer for the new Herzog looks IMMENSE
Netflixing this (Is that a verb?)
Curmudgeons by Danny DeVito
Just came across this gorgeous short directed by and starring Danny DeVito. More human insight and performance than you get in some feature films..
Curmudgeons from Jersey 2nd Avenue on Vimeo.
Perfectly executed and fully bonkers 8 Bit music video. Reminiscent of my childhood and a brand new set of nightmares, all in one.
Aesop Rock – Kirby
Excellent video for Aesop Rock's new tune featuring a puppet version of the rapper and a cute rescue kitty
Swiss Army Man
Oh wow. In an age of prequels, threequels and remakes, a truly original tale is hard to come by – Swiss Army Man is just that. It looks like Castaway weekend at Bernie's. Starring the always-excellent Paul Dano and Daniel Ratcliffe. The latter of which must be praised for continually seeking fresh, challenging and weird projects. Can't freaking wait.
Silkie – Love Affair
Bold, bright and bonkers. This sci-fi music video by animator Simon Landrein is just about as much fun as you can have in 2 dimensions. Love the square action frame and colour scheme. Perfection.

Icebreakers looking for newbies for Bristol's New Year's plunge
As a postman, neither snow nor rain will prevent Bristol resident Al Alix from the swift completion of his rounds. The same holds true for him on New Year's Day, when Al, his wife, Anne, and dozens of hearty souls will brave the 40-degree water at Bristol Town Beach and whatever weather Mother Nature decides to throw at them for their traditional New Year's plunge.
The East Bay Icebreakers, as they call themselves, have been taking the frigid plunge collectively for more than 10 years. Prior to that, the Alixes and their family and friends and members of the Mt. Hope swim team would dive in on New Year's separately, before Mr. Alix and former swim coach Jonathan Dell decided to combine the groups for the plunge. And since then, other hearty souls have joined in and dived in.
"People say 'I'm going to do it next year'," Mr. Alix said of the growing number of Icebreakers. "Then they'll do it every year, or they'll never do it again."
Mr. Alix hopes to attract other plungers to the Bristol event to make it even better. Realizing that some people pass right by Colt State Park on Hope Street as they make their way to Portsmouth, Middletown or Newport for a quick dip, he'd like to see them stop in Bristol where, as Ms. Alix put it, "It's just something crazy to start the year."
For the past two years the event has also been used as a fund-raiser for Children's Wishes, a non-profit group that provides once-in-a-lifetime experiences for children with life threatening illness. Although there is no charge to jump in the icy water, the group will be on hand to accept donations during the event.
This year, with the new Quinta-Gamelin Community Center available, plungers will have a place to go and get warm after the dive.
"We are all set to use the Quinta Gamelin Community Center after the swim for a quick warm-up party," said Dana Hrabcsak, executive director of Children's Wishes. "We figure we can have some hot chocolate, coffee and some snacks."
Anyone interested in joining the group for a New Year's dip should arrive at the Bristol Town Beach, located inside Colt State Park, before the noontime plunge.
Footwear is recommended, as the beach may be rocky and covered with shells. And be prepared to get wet.
"You have to go all the way in," Mr. Alix said. "Our rule is that your head's got to get wet."
