Wardrobe and peace
Lydia Millet explains what draws her into C.S. Lewis.
Mon Nov 24 2008
Laura Miller's The Magician's Book, is an excellent critical study of C.S. Lewis that dwells on how children and adults approach Narnia, but she certainly isn't the only grown-up Lewis fan. The late, great David Foster Wallace once put The Screwtape Letters in the No. 1 spot of his top-ten-books list. Lydia Millet, author of the novels Oh Pure and Radiant Heart, My Happy Life and How the Dead Dream, also likes to revisit the Oxford don's fantasy worlds. Here, she tells TONY what draws her into the wardrobe.
I read once that you're a big C.S. Lewis fan. Do you have a favorite?
I lean toward The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. In fact, I read a passage from it at my father's funeral—the part where Reepicheep, the aging, fierce warrior-mouse, finally reaches the paradise he's always sought: the Utter East. My father was a devoted reader of Lewis, and so all the children in my family were raised at least part-time in that magic country. And when my father died, because he was a 19th-century romantic and a bit of a warrior-mouse himself, I couldn't help but see him there, laying down his sword and stepping off the boat into the silver water at the world's end. He was a secular man, unlike Lewis, with a love of fairy tales and talking animals that he handed down to us. But images from all the books have stayed with me—even from The Last Battle, which some have decried as overly dark and steeped in the Book of Revelation and heavy-handed Christian didacticism. I love them all.
So you were introduced to Lewis as a child. Do you read Lewis differently as an adult?The supposed barrier between children's literature and literature written for adults is fully permeable to me. I had no idea when I was a child that the Narnia books were a Catholic project, and when I read them now all that allegory, be it ever so neat, still lies very much in the background. I apprehend it, but it doesn't fill my field of view. And I don't object to it, either—unlike Philip Pullman, a great and towering figure in magical fiction for young readers, who sets himself up in opposition to Lewis and Lewis's religious agenda and whose work I also deeply admire. For me Lewis's strengths simply lie elsewhere.
Has his work influenced you as a writer?
You'd be hard-pressed to find a direct evocation of Narnia in my fiction, but increasingly, as I grow older, an appeal to the imagination and to hope infiltrates the way I write. Nor am I afraid of having an agenda other than art for its own sake, so maybe that's a little bit of Lewis right there—an impurity, say. I welcome impurities. When I was a beginning writer I defined myself by closing off emotional avenues, but now, more and more, I write toward emotion. I look to create moments of access to feeling and to the power of imagining—if not different worlds, at least a world where magical transfiguration is possible.
Allegory details Laura Miller returns to Narnia.»

The handset will run on the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread build (if it gets released on time, that is), which will practically ensure that it can offer all the latest software features that smartphone users desire. Not only is it going to make stand when it comes to its display, but the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is also prepping for an assault in the camera area, because it would be equipped with Sony's own 8.1MP Exmor R sensor with f/2.4 lens that should allow for high-quality still imagery, as well as HD video capture even in low-light situations. Sony Ericsson, now we're talking!
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc will be taking its first breath of fresh air in the first quarter of the year, launching at a number of selected markets around the world, including Japan.

As for the "Zombie Thread", I didn't want to just start a new thread for this little mention, so I found one talking about them from a month ago and continued it.

Doing Business with Blount County: Click on the IONWAVE Icon below.
Blount County Purchasing Department
Blount County Courthouse
Vendors please note: Vendors seeking to do business with Blount County should register to do so via the IONWAVE link to the left. Blount County's open bid/quote invitations will be posted in the IONWAVE link on this web page and in the local newspaper, The Daily Times. It should be noted that completing the vendor registration does not guarantee the vendor will receive bid invitations. It is the vendor's responsibility to check the website or newspaper for invitations for the commodities or services they are interested in providing. Vendors may download the invitation or request the documents from the Purchasing Department.
A business license is needed for any business with a physical location in the county whose gross annual receipts are $3,000 or more; anything under $3,000 is exempt. If the gross receipts are $3,000 to $9,999, the business can choose to get either a minimal activity license or a standard businesses license. Businesses whose gross receipts are $10,000 or more annually must get the standard business license. Businesses having a standard license must also file and pay business tax to the Tennessee Department of Revenue each year.
The exception to this is for contractors. Contractors having $50,000 in gross annual receipts in any county or city must obtain a license for that city or county and remit tax to the Department of Revenue for each of these cities and counties. Companies having a Tennessee location, but not a permanent location in the county can make sales in the county without the need to obtain a county business license. These mobile businesses, such as food trucks, appliance repair companies, etc., report all their gross receipts back to their permanent location and pay taxes through that location as well. They obviously must hold a business license for that permanent location in the other county.
For out-of-state businesses, any business generating $10,000 or more gross receipts in any county in Tennessee must pay tax to the Tennessee Department of Revenue on the gross income. This is a tax filing and payment issue at the state level – no license is issued locally for this purpose. Additionally, out-of-state contractors having $50,000 or more in gross receipts in any county or city are treated exactly the same as described above for in-state businesses – they must get a local license and also pay the tax.
Finally, for transient vendors from out-of-state that operate temporarily in any city or county that sell stocks of merchandise to the public, they must obtain a $50 transient vendor permit from the local county or city. The permit allows a 15-day window to operate from that temporary location. More information is available on the state's website at State of Tennessee Business Tax Website or at the Blount County Clerk's website: Blount County Clerk Website.
The Purchasing Department is the central buying agency for Blount County Government. The Department contracts for and purchases all supplies, materials, equipment and contractual services required by each and every office or department of Blount County Government including Highway and School Departments.

The Purchasing Agent is recommended by the Blount County Mayor and approved by the County Legislative Body. The County Purchasing Commission, with the assistance of the Purchasing Agent shall establish a Purchasing System for the County, and shall adopt and may amend policies and procedures. The County Legislative Body has approved the sealed formal bid limit at $25,000 for the Education Departments, the Highway Department and General County.The current Purchasing Commission includes:
Ed Mitchell, Shawn Carter, Laura Floyd, Steve Hillis, and Glen Longhurst.
The Purchasing Department receives requisitions for purchase, issues purchase orders, solicits bids, receives and disposes of surplus property (real and personal), provides an office supply store and is in charge of the central mailroom. The Purchasing Agent supervises a full-time staff of three. In order to stay informed of the latest procurement techniques and product information, the Department maintains an active membership in the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), the Tennessee association of Public Purchasing (TAPP) and the East Tennessee Purchasing Association (ETPA).
The Blount County Purchasing Department is located in room 319 of the Blount County Courthouse. The office hours are 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

***UPDATED – MATT'S BUBBLE TWEETS ADDED*** The gang doesn't have to travel because they're doing a second show in Newark, NJ on Sunday, August 9th at the Prudential Center.
Per request, I've added more photos to the GMA post, including some incredible close ups. One photo even caught the sun winking off Adam's earring! Please check them out. I am still in awe over Adam's GMA performance of Starlight, and from your comments, you all agree. It was above and beyond anything we've seen thus far, and it proves that while we love Adam going all-out in concert with his feet-burning-the-stage sexiness, he doesn't need that to move us either to tears or rapture. You guys have described the Starlight performance in detail in comments, so I won't try to duplicate what you've already said, except to say that Adam's stage presence, even in a "stripped down" setting, is undeniable. I also added a link to the end of the GMA article where you can get a free mp3 download of this performance. I already have the song burned onto a CD. Yeah!
For those of you who are Twitter-challenged, here are youtubes of Matt's two Bubble Tweets from Newark:
After Newark the gang has a day off. Watch for a special "off-day" post, again by request. On Tuesday, August 11th the Idols hit New York, and Caren, one of our Fan Club Leaders, will be in attendance and hopefully will be giving us reports.
In the meantime, keep those photos and videos coming! If you have photos and/or videos from either this concert or any of the past concerts, please email them to us! We never, ever tire of seeing Adam in action. Our email address is email@example.com.

|Reviews for The Distance that Killed Us
| The Next Mrs. Copeland chapter 1 . 1/28/2009
"You know you can't do that. I don't even lie to my worst enemies." I love honest Chris Jericho, especially because he does that very serious face with it. Even better, he made that face nearly the entire run of Redemption Song. This was a great example of how that kayfabe "honesty" can transfer to real life. Nice work.
| LionsLady11-09-70 chapter 1 . 1/18/2009
That was sad!
But it was really good too
| TJ Sparkles chapter 1 . 1/11/2009
It did not sound retarded.
Really, this was awesome. Sad, but I loved it. I love angst, tragedy, all that good stuff. LOL. I'm sure that sounds strange...
I find it kind of odd that I'm in almost the exact same situation right now. Well, the same situation minus having a boyfriend that's a professional wrestler and travels around the world. Either you read my mind or you're just that good, LOL.
But even the strongest bonds can break. Paper beats rock.
That was my favorite part of this whole thing. One thing I really liked about this, though, was that it didn't have that typical "we can make this work" ending. Real life's not like that most of the time. You did an incredible job on this and I have to hand it to you, you did a MUCH better job than I would have if I'd read it.
I would fight the first girl who looked at Chris wrong. But I don't think he'd have to worry about me and any of his co-workers. Not at all. LOL.
Yeah, it was sad. This was perfect, exactly what I wanted, and thank you so, so, so much for writing it. I loved it, Becky.
Good luck in the ring!
| Rhiannon Leigh Black chapter 1 . 1/11/2009
AW AW AW AW! I loved it-sad but brilliantly written. Understand the sleep deprivation, I was there last night *sigh*.
...And all will be right with the world. ]
| shotbyanepoch chapter 1 . 1/11/2009
Nice story.
| Neon Love chapter 1 . 1/11/2009
Awesome story :D
Cheesy ending, but I love cheese, so I loved it.
| Sunny's Priceless Dream chapter 1 . 1/11/2009
When I read the summary, I thought it said hottest man instead of honest man.
This was sad, like really sad.
I liked it!
Tina will LOVE it.

Ping Ping. Wiff whaff. Gossmia. Call it what you want but the Rams at Texas Wesleyan University call it table tennis and they're pretty good too.
"We have a good team," said Andreas Ball, one of the Rams top table tennis players. "We don't have to fear any opponent. If we play at our best we can compete with anybody."
They've won numerous national titles in men's, women's and mixed, but since the sport isn't huge in the United States the roster resembles something you'd find at the United Nations. Not Fort Worth.
"They speak Spanish or German or Croatian like myself and another player, but we try to encourage everyone to speak in English when everyone is together," said Jasna Rather, the Rams Head Coach.
And one of Rather's best players is China native Sara Hazinski.
"I started when I was in China at the age of seven and I think my dad pushed me really hard to be good," said Hazinski.
And Andreas Ball represents Germany. So what does he think of Dallas' most famous German Dirk Nowitzki?
"I'm a big fan of Dirk Nowitzki obviously," said Ball.
Schools like Ohio State, Stanford and Harvard come to mind when talking about the top table tennis programs in the country so how does NAIA Texas Wesleyan keep winning every year?
"We have to go around the United States and internationally to different tournaments to recruit our top players," said Rather.
And the age old question why call the sport table tennis and not ping pong?
"Table tennis or ping pong it doesn't matter," said Rather. "It's a fun game and it's good for anybody to try to play."
And at Texas Wesleyan, to win.

Anatomy Of An Entrepreneur May Not Be What You Think
While some of the most famous entrepreneurs – Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, to name a few - were fresh-faced, high-school or college dropouts when they launched their companies, a new study from the Marion Kauffman Foundation shows most founders don't fit this makeup.
More than 95% of entrepreneurs surveyed in the study had earned bachelor's degrees, and 47% had more advanced degrees. Besides being well-educated, the median age of company founders in this sample when they started their companies was 40 years old, while the majority were married (69.9%) with at least one child (59.7%) as start-up founders.

National Football League roundup
(The Sports Xchange) - New York Jets first-round safety Calvin Pryor sustained a concussion in practice, coach Rex Ryan confirmed on Sunday.
Ryan said the rookie was injured in a special teams drill on Saturday while blocking on a kick return.
"Pryor now will go through the protocol, so it is a concussion," Ryan said, according to the New York Daily News. "Apparently it was on a kick when we were doing a kick return drill and he was blocking and the returner kind of got knocked into him and kind of just hit him right. It's one of those things. One of those heavyweights hit you in the chin, the lights go out I guess."

Running back LeSean McCoy and linebacker Trent Cole got into a fight during practice at Philadelphia Eagles training camp.
Linebacker Brandon Graham said Cole nudged at McCoy during a play midway through practice and the two went at it.
"Next thing you know, they're on the ground scuffling," Graham said. "It was just a friendly thing, you know. They're always competing and talking stuff to each other. It was just one of those things."
McCoy said the incident was not a big deal. It was broken up quickly.

a thousand missing moments
Ariana tugged off the dressing gown that Albus had been sticking her arms into repeatedly for the last ten minutes. She tossed it onto her bed and stuck her chin out defiantly, daring him to try putting it on her once more. She could feel her blood boiling beneath her skin, and half hoped that Al would be stupid enough to try and get her to wear the dumb dressing gown again. She felt like letting something out, though she wasn't exactly sure what.
Somewhat to her disappointment, Al seemed to have learnt his lesson and picked up the garment, carefully folding it and tucking it back into her wardrobe. He gave a great sigh. "Fine, Ari. Then why don't you change into your dress?" His tone was cajoling and sweet, and made her want to kick his shin like she had seen Abe do many times.
"No," she said again, falling down onto her bed. Her nightgown felt nice and cool and comfortable. Why should she have to change just because some stupid friend of Al's was coming to visit? It wasn't fair.
"I don't know why you're being so bloody difficult today," Albus muttered to himself.
"Bad word." Ariana felt quite superior for a moment, because at least she didn't say naughty words.
"I know it's a bad word. I can say it if I want to."
"Bad word."
"I get it, Ariana."
"Bad word."
"I know it is."
"Bad word, Al!"
"You say that one more time, I swear-"
"Bad word!"
"For Merlin's sake, would you just shut up!"
Ariana stilled for a moment, stunned by Albus' words. Everything in the room stilled, it seemed, even Albus. She turned over in her bed, so she wouldn't have to look at him. Fine then. He wanted her to shut up, she'd shut up.
To her surprise, she felt kind of like crying.
"Ari-" he began softly. She heard him come up behind her, and didn't turn around.
"Ariana, I'm-"
"No, Al." Her heart felt very heavy, all of a sudden, and she was worried it might stop all together. She hated having her heart hurt. She wanted to turn around and say she was sorry that she didn't want to wear her dressing gown and that she was sorry she had made him angry and that she would wear the stupid dressing gown even though it itched all over, and why couldn't he understand why she didn't like it?
But her heart hurt so much that she can't take the energy to turn back over, so Ariana continued staring at the pale blue wall, the paint flaked from age. Albus sighed again, and she listened to the rustle of his robes as he turned to leave her alone in her bedroom.
As she finally started to cry, still not totally sure why, she didn't think to contemplate that Albus was standing out in the hallway, doing the exact same thing.

"Love love love Louise! I have admired her work for a long time. I myself am a graphic designer but wanted someone else to establish my new look. I knew I had to hire Louise. She is a talented artist in addition to a graphic designer. I'm so glad I went with her. She was so easy to work with and understood exactly my vision!" ~ Katie Ribbon & Ink
"Louise is incredible! From the moment we first connected online, I knew she was the designer for me. Her style blended perfectly with mine & I appreciated her attention to detail. As a person, she was extremely kind & patient. I am over the moon excited to now have a professional logo & website. This experience has been a breath of fresh air for me & I'm looking forward to what this new year will bring. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU LOUISE!"

The Headford 8k Road Race took place on Saturday evening and it even managed to stop raining for the very well attended race with 300 participants. Headford put on a great event and it is a credit to the organisers and no surprise that this race continues to grow every year. Tuam AC had a very successful outing with at least 20 members of the club taking part and it would not be possible to name them all here but a special mention must go to Ann Marie Miskell who was in exceptional form on Saturday. She set off at a frightening pace up the hill in Headford and kept the foot down all the way to the finish line where she was the 3rd lady home overall and 2nd in the senior category. She was only just beaten by two outstanding runners from Co Mayo. Collette Tuohy was the first lady home and that is becoming a very regular result in 2012 as she is having a fantastic year and the very talented Ann Lennon was in 2nd place followed by Ann Marie.
The first Tuam AC runner home on Saturday was Enda Mannion in 28 mins and at least 20 club mates followed him over the next few minutes. The race was won by Michael Shannon from Co Clare who completed a remarkable double on Saturday when he stopped off in Headford on his way home from Achill where he had ran and won the Achill Half Marathon on Saturday morning in 71 mins. Achill is widely regarded as a very tough course and Headford is no joke either so it was a truly remarkable days work.

Lo Fidelity Allstars
Lo Fidelity Allstars began recording and sent a demo tape to Skint label-boss Damian Harris; after Harris saw them play live, he signed them. The group's first three singles for Skint were "Kool Roc Bass," "Disco Machine Gun" and "Vision Incision," all of which appeared during 1997 (just at the peak of big-beat frenzy in England thanks to recent releases by Fatboy Slim and Bentley Rhythm Ace). The Lo Fi debut album How to Operate with a Blown Mind followed in 1998. By the end of the year, Wrekked Train had left the band because of artistic differences; Albino Priest took his place as the band's nominal frontman. The mix album On the Floor at the Boutique followed in 2000, and Lo Fidelity Allstars delivered their second studio record, Don't Be Afraid of Love, in early 2002. ~ John Bush

Hotel Frederick a great place, but we didn't have a chance this trip to take full advantage of what it has to offer. Will definitely return. A criticism of this survey - I HAD to enter a dining score even though I did not dine there. There should always be a N/A choice. I put "met my expectations" because it was the most non-committal.
Friendly helpful staff, clean unique room, and an amazing on site dinning / bar.
Great relaxing weekend away. Loved the homemade soaps provided. Old charm with luxury accommodations! Outstanding onsite Lounge and Restaurant included!
Very nice old building. Very quiet during our stay in January due to only a few visitors. Nice breakfast every morning.
Had a great time and loved the modern blend of updated rooms with the historic vibe of the old building. Will absolutely come back again.
Beautiful hotel Excellence service enjoyed ourselves very much treated very well.
The Hotel Fredricks was amazing, clean, old charm with new amenities, the staff was friendly and very accommodating! The food at the restaurant was delicious, we tried almost everything! We rode our bikes on the Katy Trail, the scenery is breath taking! I can't wait to go back!
Great stay and nice hosts. Would recommend to all if in area.
A pleasant stay. We liked the fresh breads at breakfast
What an amazing experience! Having the opportunity to spend the night in this beautifully restored hotel--with all the modern conveniences--is such a treat. Absolutely love the uniquely decorated rooms and public spaces. Breakfast is great too--coffee cake and breakfast bread are yummy. Anxious to return soon and stay in a different room.
Service was prompt. Room was clean and quiet. Enjoyed the jetted tub. Breakfast was nicely presented and tasty. The bakery items were outstanding.
this is an exceptional hotel on all levels, especially when you consider the size of the town.
Barb Spencer provided outstanding accommodations and dinning for our 3 night stay. Barb made us feel like family- great food and company.
Both my husband and I have severe food allergies. Barb made sure to have not only appropriate breakfast items for us, including farm fresh eggs that were delicious, but also a snack the first evening we arrived. The room was amazingly clean and the shower with three shower heads was awesome! We enjoyed a lovely Anniversary weekend.
My husband & I stayed at the Hotel Frederick for 3 nights, September 8-10, 2016. The rooms were nice, other than a counter in the bathroom. The hotel is beautiful, and the desk clerks are very friendly & helpful. Our complaint is about The Fred Restaurant. We tried to eat there one night. We had been waited on and had our drinks, but no food. We waited for over an hour and were told they had just gotten so busy they were behind. I don't believe that because several people came in after us and they all had their food. We finally walked out, as did another couple who had come to the restaurant the same time we did. We told the desk clerks on duty about our experience and they assured us the restaurant manager had been told about our experience and we would be "taken care of". As of today, September 26, 2016 we have not received any kind of communication from the Hotel Frederick. I might stay there again just because it's a really neat looking place with all of the old furniture & decor, but I'd never eat in the restaurant again.
Positively loved this property. Arrived late and everyone was accommodating, the quaint charming bar and even the restaurant, though they were closing, made sure we got salads. The room was clean, such an awesome mix of the past and present blended beautifully together. Very close to Warm Springs Ranch, where the Clydesdale are. Loved it!
An old hotel with hardwood floors and high ceilings, it has been well cared for and maintained. Loved the totally modern bathroom in our room. Bed was comfortable. All the staff and wait people were friendly and accommodating. No complaints.
My wife and I have been visiting Boonville to attend the Missouri River Arts Festival for the last 11 years. We find that the Frederick is a great place to stay. The staff is always pleasant and very helpful especially meeting us at the front entrance with towels when we arrived soaking wet form a sudden downpour.
What a fantastic place! We go out of our way at least twice a year to spend some quality time at the Hotel Fred!
Excellent guest rooms, service, and ambiance! Thank you!
we have no complaints everything was as expected loved the original features and the staff was super friendly. We stay again and loved it was right downtown.
We arrived early but our room was available so we could shower and rest. Bike was stored in the basement. Next morning we were given coffee and breakfast items early so we could start our ride while the day was still relatively cool.
Beautiful renovated older hotel with great rooms and outstanding service. We were riding the Katy Trail. Helped us stow our bikes in basement under lock and key. Onsight restaurant was empty, which concerned us. But tried it anyway and food was excellent. We will be back.
We had an excellent time at the Fredrick Hotel. The rooms are one of a kind, from the decor to the etching on the bathroom glass, not to mention comfortable, clean and well kept. The in house restaurant, The Fred was delicious, with excellent, friendly waitstaff. Last but not least a special thanks to Lynn and Susan at the front desk. They were beyond helpful and the nicest people you could possibly ever meet. Anything we needed they were right there to get it. Lynn even scooped us tour reservations at Warm Springs Ranch and they were already booked for the entire week. Overall excellent experience and a stop we will make again in a heartbeat!
The rooms are great and staff friendly. The bar was fun! The restaurant is not as great. Service was slow and food just ok. We would return however. We meet a group and go to Arrowrock Lyceum. After many years the Frederick is our favorite place to stay!
my wife and I spent a weekend in the Boonville area while staying at the Hotel bFrederick which was a very nice hotel. The room we stayed was a nice goodsized room with living room type area separate from the bedroom-bathroom area. Service was good although with a restaurant amd bar area available during hours there was no vending and/or refreshment area available during non-hours.A very nice place to stay to do visit historic sites and horses (clydesdales).
Lovely hostess that is very familiar with the area and she went out of her way to find us other material about places to visit in the state. Great food and very fresh! Room worked out great! Would return again if in the area.
Great stay at the Frederick....front desk was excellent and food at the 'Fred' was also excellent.
We had a wonderful visit at your B & B this week! The accomodations were beautiful and very comfortable! The conversations with the hosts were very educational and humorous! The country breakfast was delicious and Harley, well, what can we say about Harley....he stole our hearts!! We will be back!!
We will definitely stay here again :) We did not eat here, but the form made me fill out a review.

Snell, "Religions of the Ancient Near East" 2010 | ISBN-10: 052168336X, 0521864755 | 192 pages | EPUB | 0,6 MB This book is a history of religious life in the Ancient Near East from the beginnings of agriculture to Alexander the Great's invasion in the 300s BCE. Daniel C. Snell traces key developments in the history, daily life, and religious beliefs of the people of Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, and Iran. His research investigates the influence of those ideas on the West, with particular emphasis on how religious ideas from this historical and cultural milieu persist to influence the way modern cultures and religions view the world. Designed to be accessible to students and readers with no prior knowledge of the period, the book uses fictional vignettes to add interest to its material, which is based on careful study of archeological remains and preserved texts. The book will provide a thoughtful summary of the Ancient Near East and includes a comprehensive bibliography to guide readers in further study of related topics.

John McCallum: 98 Per Cent Of Government-Sponsored Syrian Refugees Have Permanent Homes
OTTAWA — Immigration Minister John McCallum says 98 per cent of government-sponsored Syrian refugees have now found permanent housing.
The minister is telling a Commons committee that the remaining two per cent should be housed by mid-June.
He says the government plans to bring in 25,000 government-sponsored refugees from Syria this year and is well on its way to that goal.

That's on top of the 25,000 brought in by the end of February in a mix of sponsorships.
McCallum says 17,300 of this year's 25,000 government-sponsored refugees have already arrived and the remainder will be here by the end of December.
He says challenges remain in the fields of language training and jobs, but resettlement efforts are proceeding.
McCallum says there is still a demand among Canadians to help Syrian refugees.
"I'm probably the only immigration minister in the world whose major challenge is not being able to deliver enough refugees quickly enough to satisfy the amazing generosity of Canadian households."
"I'm probably the only immigration minister in the world whose major challenge is not being able to deliver enough refugees quickly enough to satisfy the amazing generosity of Canadian households, Canadian families who want to sponsor them," he said.
"This is good problem to have in a sense that it underlines the welcoming nature of our people, but it's still a problem."
He said additional officials have been deployed into the region to help process more newcomers.
Other refugees not being short-changed: minister
The focus on people fleeing Syria has not left other refugees short-changed, he added.
"We have not lost sight, despite the recent attention paid to Syrian newcomers, of other refugees who also need our protection."
It made sense, he said, to put extra effort into the Syrian situation.
"This was the worst refugee crisis the world has seen in decades."
McCallum also said that the Syrian refugee program will likely come in under budget, although final tallies are still being made.

UP NEXT: Canada's response to the Syrian refugee crisis
In 2011, internal conflict erupted in Syria that would later escalate into a full-blown civil war that rages on to this day, now complicated by the arrival of Islamic militants from neighbouring Iraq. Since the start, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has called on countries to help resettle some of the most vulnerable Syrians who can never return home, a call that grew louder as the crisis has escalated. Here's a look at how Canada responded over time. (Information by The Canadian Press) Syrians hold a large poster depicting Syria's President Bashar Assad during a rally in Damascus, Syria in 2011.
- Canada closes its embassy in Damascus, a move that would come to have major repercussions for refugee resettlement out of the Middle East as that visa post was handling the majority of the files for refugees from other countries who had sought temporary safety in Syria. Those files were then transferred to nearby countries, leaving visa officers scrambling to handle them and the start of a surge in Syrian refugee applications. - By the end of 2012, the UNHCR had registered close to half a million Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries. - Syrian Canadians call on Canada to do more to support the refugees, including speeding up family reunification programs and opening the doors to more refugees, but the government said without an official request from the UN for resettlement, it would not act. Syrian refugee girls wash their clothes at a camp in Idlib, Syria, in October of 2015.
The number of people registered as refugees from Syria or being assisted by the UN hits one million. A Syrian refugee boy at a camp in Turkey in October 2015.
The UN makes its first formal request to member countries to assist in refugee resettlement, asking for 30,000 spaces by the end of 2014. Syrian Kurdish refugees walk in the United Nations Refugee Agency refugee camp in Suruc, Sanliurfa province, in January 2015.
The Harper Conservatives promise to admit 1,300 Syrian refugees by the end of 2014, with the majority sponsored by private groups. The 200 spots available to government-assisted refugees are not new refugee spaces — the Conservatives choose to allocate the 200 they set aside each year for the Syrian program. Stephen Harper speaks in the House of Commons.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper visits a refugee camp in Jordan, one of the main host countries for Syrians. He announces $150 million in humanitarian aid; over the course of the conflict Canada has been one of the lead financial donors for relief efforts in the Middle East and North Africa. By this point, some $630 million has been committed. Stephen Harper and wife Laureen Harper visit Za'atri Refugee Camp in Jordan in January 2014.
The UN High Commissioner makes a new request: an additional 100,000 places for Syrian refugees by 2016. Canada says it is reviewing its options. Antonio Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, speaks during a press conference in Geneva, Switzerland in October 2015.
Conservative Immigration Minister Chris Alexander admits that fewer than 200 Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada since the July 2013 promise, saying the UNHCR was slow passing on referrals. Chris Alexander speaks in the House of Commons.
By the end of the month, just over 1,000 Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada, meaning the government missed its deadline. A Syrian Kurdish refugee walks in a UNHCR refugee camp in Suruc in January 2015.
The Conservative government commits to allowing 10,000 more Syrian refugees in by 2018, most through the private sponsorship program. The focus is to be on religious minorities. Syrian refugee girls sit at the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) 'Child Friendly Spaces' in the Zaatari refugee camp, near the Jordanian border with Syria in 2014.
The government finally meets its July 2013 promise to resettle 1,300 people, achieving it by increasing the number of government-assisted refugees. Stephen Harper gives the thumbs up during a photo opportunity.
The Conservatives order an audit of the government-assisted refugees coming out of Syria, citing security concerns. The review identifies no problems but delays the processing of those files for several weeks. Chris Alexander speaks at a press conference in Toronto in September, 2015.
The Conservatives pledge that if re-elected, they will allow a further 10,000 Syrians in over the next four years, continuing a focus on those being persecuted because of religion. Stephen Harper takes questions from the media on the campaign trail.
- Three-year-old Alan Kurdi dies during his family's escape from Syria. The photograph of his body on a Turkish beach and word his family had considered Canada as an eventual destination sees Canada's refugee response become a dominant issue in the election campaign. - The Conservatives increase available resources for the processing of refugee applications, promise to speed up resettlement of the 10,000 originally promised places and announce they'll match donations for Syrian relief. - The Liberals say they'll bring over 25,000 government-assisted refugees as soon as possible and encourage the private sector to take in more. They later promise to bring them in by the end of the year. A handout photo courtesy of Tima Kurdi shows a photo of her three-year-old nephew Alan Kurdi.
The Liberals win a majority government and say they remain committed to refugee resettlement. Justin Trudeau waves to the crowd as they arrive to Liberal election headquarters in Montreal.
The Liberal government announces its plan to resettle 25,000 Syrians. Immigration Minister John McCallum holds a news conference with Health Minister Jane Philpott and Defence Minister Harijit Singh Sajjan.

Flooding made worse by 'careless farming'
NewsFriday 07 March 2014
Some experts have spoken out and said that careless farming has contributed to making flooding worse in Somerset and elsewhere.
The UK government has discussed new rules which could be put in place to stop farmers contributing to flooding through poor land management.
It has been reported that some upland farmers have caused soil and water to flush into rivers by leaving fields bare and compacting land with cattle and heavy machinery.
Farmers have responded by stating that they don't want more regulations, however, environmentalists have said that grants should be withheld if farms are managed in a way that encourages floods.
Scientists have raised particular concerns over maize, which is the crop that creates the most rainfall run-off.
Some experts want maize to be banned from steep slopes altogether because its bare rows contribute so much flooding and silt.
Defra is now running informal consultations to discuss the rules over what farmers should to to qualify for the £3.6bn grants that they receive from the taxpayer.
There has been some pressure put on landowners to stop rainwater from flushing into the river system.
Farmers have, in the past, received taxpayer funding to dig drainage channels in peat in order to improve its productivity for sheep and cattle.
However, this didn't increase productivity, but did lead to more flooding as water flushed off the moorlands to and into the rivers.
This policy is now being reversed due to the recent flooding and the drainage channels are being filled.
Now we are paying again to reverse the failed policy and fill in the drainage channels.
The scheme costs £2.2m. "It's having huge impact," said Dylan Bright of South West Water when talking to the BBC.
"By the time the restoration of the catchment is completed, the moor will be able to hold the equivalent of 104 Olympic-sized swimming pools of water. It'll hold back rainfall from flowing down to places like Exeter."
