The way I see it is that if someone suggests something and we all love it, there is a clear consensus and we would go forward with that. The reverse is also true. In this particular case it is clear to me that we do not have consensus. I think part of that may be due to there being no concrete proposal, everyone seems to be suggesting different things! We are only at this juncture because nobody can agree on the best way forwards. All I am saying is that maybe a proper proposal would be a nice idea, something we can all say "+1" on, or not as the case may be. If you asked me now what my thoughts were on the whole topic I would tell you that I don't know, because I'm not even sure what the agreed proposal is, let alone the agreed consensus is. > IMO an improvement to this process would be a mechanism to submit a proposal > to the *PMC*, to get some definitive feedback, the contract being that I'll do > the proposal and the implementation in return for the PMC being prepared to > give a provisional indication that a) such work would not be in vain; or b) > the proposal won't be pursued; or c) more work is needed, but it's not out of > the question; and/or d) some comment about what would need to be addressed to > move forward. All of which is to say: is the PMC reified in some way that > doesn't involve canvassing each member individually? This process is already in place! Heh. All anyone has to do is write up a concrete proposal of the changes and submit it to the mailing list requesting a vote. We can move forward from there. If there are comments about the proposal, the sponsor could collect them and draft a new proposal. Rinse and repeat. -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater

CARSON, Calif. – Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, recently tabbed as captain by new head coach José Luis "Chelís" Sánchez Solá, remains sidelined with a dislocated right pinky and missed his third preseason scrimmage on Tuesday.
According to the club, Kennedy's hand injury is not serious and the veteran has progressed well. He is expected to return to the pitch soon following a two-week absence. Netminders Tim Melia and Patrick McLain were in goal Tuesday as Chivas USA played to a 1-1 draw against the visiting Chicago Fire.
Sánchez Solá shrugged off Kennedy's injury, hinting at a sort of displeasure with how long it takes MLS players to recover. The coach has not been in town for long, but has already noticed a difference from his days in Mexico's Primera División.
"It's a whole different type of medicine they use here," he explained. "I would start to get angry but I don't want to get angry. The recovery of players here is entirely different in this league."
READ: Chelís: My job at Chivas USA is to change culture, win back fans
Kennedy was in good spirits, smiling and waving at fans as he walked to the team bus outside the gate. The 30-year-old is coming off consecutive 32-start, 100-save seasons and, following a brief time of uncertainty, appears to be one of Sánchez Solá's favorites.
Midfielders Jorge Villafaña (sprained ankle) and Ben Zemanski (back spasm) didn't see action either while nursing their respective injuries.
"It's something we need to change here, but we'll do that little by little," Chelís said of the recovery process.

A sting inside Vatican City aimed at nabbing the mystery buyer of more than $55,000 in cocaine that was hidden inside 14 condoms was foiled, leaving law enforcement officials searching for the source of a leak.
The shipment of 340 grams (around 12 ounces) of liquid cocaine was hidden inside a shipment of cushions from an unspecified South American country to the Vatican via Germany, authorities said.
Customs officials at the airport in Leipzig, Germany, discovered the drugs hidden inside the package addressed to the Vatican Post Office. The package did not specify a recipient, meaning any of the city-state's 800 residents could have picked it up on request.
Police said the cocaine in the shipment would have a street value of about 40,000 euros ($55,000).
Germany alerted Vatican officials who set up the sting operation to arrest whoever claimed the package, but nobody claimed it. German officials said they believed the buyer was tipped off, though there was no indication whether the tip came from Germany, within the Vatican, or elsewhere.
The Vatican's chief spokesman, Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that law enforcement officials at the Vatican cooperated with German police, but did not comment further. The investigation remains open.

We had initially planned for a different feature today, but following the devastation of Flying W Ranch and many Mountain Shadows homes we decided to take a breath, a moment of silence of sorts, and ask you to share your stories. We'd like to hear your memories of Flying W Ranch, your memories of times spent in Waldo Canyon or surrounding areas like Rampart Range Road, Rampart and Nichols Reservoirs, or just your stories of dealing with daily life with a monstrous fire looming in your backyard.
You can leave us a message with your story, anonymous or not, by calling our Phone Booth Confessional Hotline at 719-434-3656. We'd also like to encourage you to send us any photographs you may have that accompany your story, email them to us at email@example.com.
Finally, we'd like to extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to our friends and neighbors who have lost their homes, businesses, and/or who are currently facing the stress of being evacuated and displaced. If you're in need of more information we suggest visiting the Pikes Peak Library's Waldo Canyon Fire Resource Page, it's a very complete list of resources as well as opportunities for those who would like to lend a hand to lighten the load of our neighbors during this trying time.

Just feel fortunate to have escaped the fire and the terrible smoke. We live in Rockrimmon and were evacuated Tuesday about 5:30 p.m. Have hiked Waldo Canyon many times years ago when we lived in Cascade. I'm a Colorado Springs native and have never experienced such a frightening close call.

C.A.T rotating assembly
any 1 every use them
a couple machine shop by me said they have had bad expeinces with them... i can get a forged stel crank and rods for 700,i know soem one who had a brand new crank that he paid 600 for and will sell for 300
I have no personal experience with C.A.T. parts, but have heard similar things to what you have. I see the company regularly at Trade Shows, and one thing has always disturbed me. It may be cynicism creeping in, but I am always extra skeptical when it comes to a company that uses a name that could easily be confused with another that offers similar pieces. This is the case with C.A.T. having a very similar sounding name to SCAT products. It may have no bearing, but... having heard the same complaints, usually regarding machining and dimensional accuracy...I have to wonder.
i agree i jsut wsxh they were better, so much cheaper but then agin u get what u pay for
Further Checking needed
C.A.T. is located in southern California and manufactures parts there(Google for the website),I have used rocker arms from C.A.T. and no problems.I have seen posts on websites complaining about SCAT products who does import from China,maybe what you heard was a name mixup? :confused: In any event do a websearch putting in the names of the company and adding the word: complaints in the search box,more info will come up.
I've used C.A.T. stainless rockers also, no problems. Another post I read recommeded to stay away form their cranks & rods. They're imported like many others discount priced parts. Can't find it now, was a post by one of the engine builder, CNCNorthEast, MachineShopTom etc.. can't remember which one posted.
C.A.T. h-beam rods and forged cranks are strong enough pieces, but their quality control department is somewhat suspect. Rods will sometimes be out of round or tapered in the big end bore, cranks may be out of round or tapered on the mains and rods, or just out of tolerance on size. Nothing wrong with the strength-- just requires a tune-up by your local machine shop. Maybe the seller will agree to let you have the crank inspected by a nearby shop before you buy? If it passes then you have a deal. :)
I'm not trying to hi jack 454cutlass86 thread but who do you guys suggest on rotating assemblies or short blocks since he may want to know also? Iv'e been eyeing CNC Motorsports out of South Dakota.
I have used C.A.T. products for quite some time. The valve train products tend to be very good. The rods, as previously stated tend to have quality/finish problems, tho, I haven't had problems with them after correcting and installing the parts. NOW, the cranks! ALL the affordable cranks are from across the pond. I have had some questionable Eagles, some Scats and some of the private brand stuff. BUT< the worst, most under ground, over polished, tapered, out of round, oil holes in the wrong place, off drilled counterweights, improper runout, wrong keyway and bad thrust surface cranks have all come from C.A.T. I now run the other way when they come thru the door. Come to think of it. Not many have been around lately. Maybe they quit selling to the jobbers in Michigan. Or the jobbers have such a stack of returns that they no longer order.
I've heard SCAT-good CAT-bad
I do have to admit though, the cheap prices on some of the roller rockers and stuff look encouraging enough to give them a whirl on a budget build. The thoughts of needlebearings going through the oil pump pickup or lodged between a piston and cylinder wall though sure do scare me.
well i guess i could have it checked out and if everything is good then its a good deal right ??
go me a forged eagek crank for 300!!!!!!!!!
Have it checked, they have some "spotty" issues too. Somewhere in between SCAT and C.A.T. on fit and finish.
oops i ment eagle crank forged ... the guy who has it owns the machien shops that gonna redo my heads

Will Israel and Lebanon's new naval partnership last?
- By Allison Good<p> Allison Good is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy. </p>
Although the Arab Spring hasn't won Israel many friends in the Middle East, Haaretz reported yesterday that its navy "recently strengthened its cooperation with the Lebanese Navy in the Mediterranean." The partnership, Israel hopes, will prevent provocations in the form of possible pro-Palestinian flotillas to Gaza on May 15, or Nakba Day, which commemorates "the displacement of Palestinians following the establishment of Israel in 1948, and on Naksa Day, which takes place in June and commemorates the displacement of Palestinians after the 1967 war."
It's no surprise that Israel would turn to regional multilateralism in order to avoid a repeat of the Gaza flotilla incident of 2010. According to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, "pro-Palestinian activists from Sweden [have] announced their intent to organize another Gaza flotilla this year, saying they have already bought the ship."
Whether this friendly strategic cooperation will last, though, is an entirely different question. Israel and Lebanon may soon be engaged in nasty disputes over natural gas fields in the Levant Basin, which as Robin M. Mills reported for FP last year "spans not only Israel's offshore but also that of Lebanon, Cyprus, and Syria." In 2009, U.S. exploration company Noble Energy found Tamar, a deepwater field that holds 8.5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas. Noble discovered Leviathan, which has an aerial area of 125 square miles and contains a potential 20 Tcf, in early 2010. As Mills noted, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the entire basin "could contain 120 Tcf of gas, equivalent to almost half of U.S. reserves."
With Tamar set to come online in April 2013, and Leviathan expected to begin production by 2016, what is for now just a dispute over maritime borders could soon turn into a regional conflict over natural gas.

Anyone have any comments or reviews on a reputable performance engine rebuilding shop in Idaho. Looking to have some porting/polishing done to a pair of edelbrock Pontiac D-port heads as well as port matching the intake. also want the engine dyno tuned. Anyone on here know of a place that has a great reputation for this kind of work. Have been talking with Valley Crankshaft out of boise ID. and it sounds like they know what they are doing. but have never dealt with them and it's a small shop. Tired of wanna be performance engine builders. and looking to have it done right. Thanks.
It would be helpful to know where you're located, as it's not likely you want to transport or ship your engine/components hundreds of miles each way for machine work. However, I highly recommend Andrew Gibson, who is an excellent engine builder and Pontiac enthusiast, in Spokane, WA, which is right across the border from Coeur D'Alene, Id. He does all of my machine work and is currently building a '59 389 engine for me. He has state of the art equipment, and does world class work at reasonable prices. Whether it's for your "grocery getter" or your race car, he always takes the time to get it right. I encourage you to peruse Andrew's web site GibsonPerformanceengines.com and then give him a call at (509) 251-5171.Lowell White (509) 435-1909Deer Park, WA
Thank you for the feed back. And you are right I don't want to ship the engine hundreds of miles to get the work done. I did say in Idaho though. I live in Burley ID and it's about three hours to Boise one way and about two and a half hours to Idaho falls. I thought maybe someone on here had dealt with a shop roughly in those areas. Thanks again for your info.

Unmitigated climate change will cost Canada approximately $5 billion per year by 2020, and between $21 billion and $43 billion per year by 2050. Adapting to climate change makes economic sense. It can lower the cost of climate impacts by preventing damage, saving money and lives.
Help Elizabeth push the federal government to keep its promise to adopt a National Climate Strategy. Sign below or download this petition, get as many people as possible to sign it, and mail it – postage free – to either her Ottawa or Sidney offices. With as few as 25 signatures, Elizabeth can present your petition to the government in the House of Commons.
5028 people have signed this petition. Add your voice to the growing number of Canadians speaking out about this issue.
We call on the Government of Canada to live up to its promise of ensuring Canada's long-term prosperity, recognizing the central role that a stable climate must inevitably play in achieving this goal and, to this end, adopt a National Climate Strategy that describes, in a transparent manner, the specific measures to be taken in order that the government adhere to the CO2 targets adopted by the 40th Parliament of Canada for a 25% reduction below 1990 levels by 2020, and followed by an 80% CO2 reduction below 1990 levels by 2050.
Our government is way behind and trying to get furthr back Racing towards the starting line
it's extremely sad when we're ranked 4th worst country in the world just above Kazakhstan, Iran and Saudi Arabia for Climate and enviromental performance. United States and China are both well above us too.
We need to remind government and wake people up to ask and get federal tax break from their eco friendly homes, Apt bldgs, cars, factories, businesses to shopping centres. Maybe start a report card or point system for all.
We need a petition to promote green tech – creating jobs at the same time as taking care of the environment. Fossil fuel is the fuel of yesterday, it has no place in our future.
Let the people lead and the politicians will follow.
We need to educate people, politicians and business people especially, that making the leap to a sustainable economy won't hurt us, in fact it will be enormously beneficial and will save us! Read Chris Turner's 'The Leap' to see how other countries are making the leap and leaving Canada dismally far behind. Our so called red hot economy will suffer eventually if we don't get on board the sustainability track.
No country can accept glory when emissions are arguably down from the previous year. It is a measure of a depressed economy, slowed manufacturing, not stewardship.
I wonder how long it will take for our atmosphere to look like China's if something isn't done to reduce the pollution…
We need to wake up the government to the wishes of the majority of Canadians!
I would like to see more incentives for green initiatives, more protection for rivers and wild animal habitats, abolish fish farms and give tax incentives for home owners using energy efficient solar or alternatives to oil and gas products.
One irony I find amusing is that very few of these regressive "Conservatives" seem to have the intellectual capacity to have read George Orwell's "1984″. Mr. Oliver has labelled objectors to pipelines and oil tankers in Alberta and B.C. as "radicals". A look through any current major english language dictionary will cite the word "reformers" in the definition of "radicals" . I've heard that word before…….Holy newspeak Batman!
Are we not doomed? It's like every cabinet minister has had a therapy session in Room 101!
How true!
I can hardly wait for the next fed. election!!!
Looking forward to election time so we can replace our current 'leadership' with one that actually respects our environment.
We need a change in Political Will,
We need a change in Ottawa.
We need a Canadian Government not a Harper Government.
Amen to that! What I don't understand is why the Governor General hasn't been formally asked to prorogue parliament yet? Isn't there something we can do, as concerned Canadians, to make this happen? Surely there must be some way we can oust Harper from government?
Cause the GG is a harpercrit pussy that's why!
I say get rid of the so-called "Head of State" which is a step in the right direction to that.
Our Head of State needs to realize that although he was appointed by Harper, he actually represents the Queen, and as such is supposed be be above Harper in the pecking order. If we could get petitions large enough to represent a significant number of Canadians into his hands, and the backing of the opposition members of parliament, with request that these be presented to the Queen with the request that he, on her behalf, excercise that power that officially still rests with the Crown, there might be hope. It happened once in Australia.
I always hoped and thought that I came from one of the greatest countries in the world but when our Environment minister gets up and says we won't stick to the Kyoto accord because the U.S. isn't going to, that is not leadership, it is not long term planning and it means we only want to get elected in four years time by saying we will have a balanced budget, so; money comes before a healthy environment and a world for our children and grandchildren. Someone must remember that it is cheaper to prevent more damage than to have to cure/fix the damage later.
Greed trumps everything in the end. Most corporate entrepreneurs and their government enablers don't think they will be around when the dirt hits the fan.
Our government officials are pulling us closer and closer to extinction for their own trivial gains.
The Harper government is an embarrassment to Canada and does not represent the majority of Canadians. Their self serving agenda does not reflect what needs to be done. I am sick of the hand puppets (an insult to puppets) that are supposed to be representing the people, not King Harper. Our current Federal government has abused their power and should step down. An autocratic government is NOT what Canada stands for nor should Canadians stand for it!
Canada use to be a world leader in environmental sustainability and conservation of our natural resources…now we have been set back and have lost all creditability in the international community's eyes..I am proud to b a Canadian but am deeply ASHAMED of how this government represents me as a Canadian..as a matter of fact, The Harper regime does NOT represent my values as a young Canadian..
I agree with you 100%
Harper does not speak for me!
We need more Green Party members.
I am so ashamed of our federal and provincial governments. Hopefully climatologist Andrew Weaver will be elected for the Green Party in our May provincial election in British Columbia.
The Conservative have betrayed Canada and Canadians yet again. They are short-sighted and ineffectual.
According to Webster's, among other things, "conservative" means "tending to preserve established traditions or institutions and to resist or oppose any changes in these." Shouldn't then a Conservative government seek to preserve the existing climate and established life on this planet? Or do they perhaps believe in continuing the established tradition of burning ever greater quantities of fossil fuels and generating ever greater quantities of emissions in pursuit of ever greater profits for the oil, gas and coal companies?
With 'Big Oil' pulling the 'puppet strings' any government in Canada
would be in their pockets. We need a government that will support all
efforts at reducing emissions and gradually get us out of being over depended
on fossil fuels, and foster support efforts in research and science . Oil is the biggest 'drug' on the planet, our 'Conservative' Government is the facilitator for Big Oil only
Pipelines across this country don't help Canadians; they help Big Oil
The Tories are unresponsive to the people of Canada at the national and local level. I'd like to have some say in what happens to me but even my Tory MP responds with boilerplate to every question. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a say between elections?
Harper was right – I don't recognize Canada anymore. Even worse I'm ashamed to be Canadian and ashamed because of the Harper government's actions and policies regarding the environment, big business and his racist attitudes toward First Nations people.
Prosperity built on the destruction of land, water, air, people, is no prosperity, but death by a thousand cuts. People like Mr. Oliver and Mr. Harper will have to pay for their misguided, self-serving, demonic policies which favour only their corporate masters.
Gee…nobody here seems to like P.M. Harper.
Am I the only one? NOT! Can't wait for the chance to get rid of this detriment to our society.
Has Harper not seen the environmental changes in his own life – beaches closed due to high bacteria levels, indoor recess for elementary students due to elevated UV readings, only 4% of old-growth left on our west coast island … Can he not see the forest for the trees? Oh, right, they're gone!
He probably can see it he is just another right wing fundamentalist who sees it all as another step closer to heaven. Why would he want to slow that down? Extreme Christians should not be allowed to govern countries. They are incapable of unbiased compassion.
Harper is not an extreme Christian. Where do you get that idea from. You are beginning to sound like the Americans with talk like that. Harper is a bad politician – that is all. I am a Christian and I don't believe he is at all!
He is not concerned with the future for his children or grandchildren. He has enough money to move somewhere safe with them after he destroys Canada.
That is my take on things. Harper just wants to load his pockets, then disappear when Canadians catch on to what he's doing & kick him out of office.
It looks like he may be one of those religious nutjobs who welcome the apocalypse and wants to do whatever he can to create as much chaos as possible so the Biblical predictions of disasters in the Book of Revelations will come true that much quicker.
That's not fair Ullrich, "religious nutjobs"? are people too that greatly disagree with the present government. You will only alienate those that would help your side to make change if you keep talking like that.
The Harper government(TM) is opposed to anything that doesn't benefit the oil companies in the tar sands. Water is our greatest asset and he is allowing the water to be destroyed. He silences all opposition to his backwards position that belongs at the beginning of the 19th century. Canada has never had such a destructive tyrannical government.
that is true,but it reflects the global politic of our times,in which corporations – not goverments,rule !! on the tar sands issue,i am with you.it makes me sick in the pit of my stomache.a few months back i said out loud 'i wish a comet would hit the tar sands and wipe it out'… the very next day… i saw the news of a comet crashing into a town in the Ural mountains in Russia.I asked my husband to go check the latitude and longitude; it was almost exactly the same latitude,and just a few degrees off the longitude,as the tar sands-on the other side of the Earth !! one wonders; DOES GOD DO ACUPUNCTURE?! ( i can only hope!)
Why is Harper so bent on destroying Canada and Canadians vision?? We want clean sustainable renewable energy NOW and we also want to protect our most vulnerable resources, Air, Water and soilt and our citizens, plz
ps. could you please help me strengthen Canadian Law on cyber bullying by signing my petition at change.org to the Minister of Justice
Climate change will have a big impact on Canada, especially for those of us who live along Canada's coasts, or in the Arctic, or use melt water from snowpack or glaciers in the summer – a large proportion of the population, in other words. Harper's policies are not in the interest of Canadians.
China has some very bad air pollution, fired by coal., now they will drive it up with our oil. Are we enablers ????!!!!
Steven Harper is eroding this country. I deeply oppose his environmental (or rather un-environmental) policies…and especially this move. We need a different government!! This one is shameful.
These days, when I read something like this, I'm too shocked to think of anything. It seems so inhumane, the corruption in our system. It's not democracy anymore, as long as political agendas are more important than the people. The fact that we have to fight back is good – at least it doesn't look like we live in a dictatorship. I just wonder, what will it take for everyone to wake up and realize that each one of us has to tell the government what to do, in order to avoid all this trickery?
How much more damage are Canadians let Harper get away with??……he is dragging our Country through the mud!!! Canada once had a good reputation world wide….now we are being looked at as a Rogue Nation!!!
I don't know when our government decided its citizens don,t care
I am still proud to be Canadian but Harper's choices offend me and his actions are devastating to our great heritage, the beloved land we live in and to the moral responsibility we have to our country and the global welfare.
What we need is a new style of government that represents all Canadians, 1st past the post has to go! Additionally, any government, MPP or MP that does enough to piss off the majority of Canadians/regional voters needs to have a means to YANK that government/yahoo out of office regardless of whether an election is imminent or not. Lastly, all corporate donations/influence must end, governments need to be responsive to people not soulless money grubbing corporations! Only when government is responsive to the PEOPLE of Canada as a whole and not a minority will changes like this come to be!
Frequently during Mulroney's Prime Ministership, occasionally during Chretien's tenure, I was ashamed and embarrassed by our government. That, however, is a constant state under the government of Stephen Harper. Harper brings constant shame to this country.
I travel a great deal, and since Harper has placed his brand on my country I no longer feel that little frisson of pride when people ask me where I'm from. I now tend to look at the ground and admit it it quietly.
Pagun ( pagunview.com )
Patrick you are absolutely right, there is no kudos in being identified as Canadian anymore rather just shame and despair.
Harper has one heck of a nerve, especially when a worse draught is being predicted for North America this summer.
Harper is the devil and Canada is the Zion he attacks. God bless you Ms May and all of us Canadians who won't be blinded by lies and simple ignorance. Where have the honest and true leaders gone, who LISTEN to the people they are suppose to represent? You won't get away with this Harper, you WON'T. For sure your soul won't.
Harpers Magazine (no pun intended lol ) in their index lists Canada as the number one garbage producing nation per capita. It must irk our Harper that there's nothing he can do to surpass that.
Who will be able to garner enough votes to kick this contemptuous POS government out?
Blessings to you Elizabeth. I hope that Trudeau and Mulcair will take up this cause with you.
I am ashamed and outraged at the Harper government's callous retreat from sound environmental policy and the dismantling of vital research programs in multiple areas, including the environment. This period of Canada's history will be remembered as a "dark age" of benighted, narrowly ideological and hostile politics. I can't wait for a new government.
The Harper government is out of control. We need to stop him before we are hated as much as the US used to be.
Mr Harper the gutting has to stop! Canada and Canadians are loosing face in the eyes of the world!
what happened to our political will? We need to defeat the Conservatives and get our Canada back on a sane fiscal track. Reliance on a fossil fuel economy is short sighted at best and frankly, stupid in the extreme.
Per Carol Young 3 months ago below – "We need a petition to promote green tech – creating jobs at the same time as taking care of the environment. Fossil fuel is the fuel of yesterday, it has no place in our future." I agree, don't you?
Shame on Canada!
I suggest Harper read (or re-read) the journal article regarding libertarianism of environmental laws by Ont Premier Mike Harris that led to the tragedy at Walkerton. We sure haven't learned our lesson. This move does not represent me as a Canadian.
Elizabeth May I fervently hope that one day The Green Party comes into power in Canada. Maybe then we can see a real change in the way our beloved country is run.
It's time for the working people of Canada to have a say in how it's run, not just by the ruling rich.
Steven Harper seems to be president of the flat earth society
Thank you again, Elizabeth May, for all of your work advocating for the environment! You are a model of what a politician should be!
How disgraceful that our country that has so much would not want to help other poorer countries meet this terrible threat. Why do we have CIDA projects abroad when our government does not support this important work? Are the personnel there just to escape our Canadian winters? It seems we have millions, if not billions, to host a meeting of the G8 countries, but nothing for people who really need our help. For shame.
If there were a cartoon to depict Canada as a character in the climate change world stage he would be an overweight, arrogant, condescending individual waving his finger while his pockets full of black oil oozed a slimy trail behind him. That is how I see our once great country on the environmental stage and it saddens and infuriates me. Kyoto, Convention on Drought, Experimental Lakes, Fisheries Libraries – all victims of a very sick character.
How much pollution is Harper's aircraft producing during its unwelcome and unnecessary flight to attend Thatcher's funeral?
They say birds of a feather don't they, Thatcher was wrong in about 90% of her policies( the only right one was standing up for the Falklands.) Harper is borne of the same ilk, Utterly despotic!
This gets added to the myriad of reasons why I NEVER vote conservative!
We are the ugly Canadians! We seem to have outsourced our values!
This man should be like his cohort chucked out of office, he is a menace to civilised society and an utter bully to boot.
Félicitations Mme May. Cet homme es un anti progrès, non seulement pour le Canada, mais aussi pour la planette entière. Que se cache derrière les élucubrations de ce pauvre homme ?
J'aimerais que la liste des changements à nos ententes internationales et nos lois de gestion du territoire, modifiées depuis l'avènement du gouvernement de M. Harper, puissent être publiée dans nos journaux et sur internet de façon à sensibiliser la population au fait que l'on est en voie de détruire notre milieu de vie, et, l'image du Canada sur la scène internationale en ce domaine.
J'ai maintenant honte d'être canadien !
Wealth is largely created by stealing. Not only is the current government of Canada allowing the rich to inherit our great-great-great-great-great-grand children's food, they have the audacity to not even tax them for it… Shame
How this government can be higher than the Nude Garden or Rhinoceros parties in the polls is an utter mystery to me.
We have to remember that about 40% of Canadians voted for this government. The main thing they were likely suspicious of was Stephane Dion's "Green Shift". The people behind this government are our friends, neighbours and relatives. Isn't it about time we started talking to them and not taking the attitude that those of us opposing climate change are the silent majority the government is selfishly riding roughshod over as it messes up the future for our grandchildren. A goodly number of Canadians we know and talk to daily probably think the government is still doing a good job serving their interests. Isn't it about time we startedto care enough for our neighbours to convince them that we also care about them and their grandchildren when we speak out against climate change. Time for some heart-to-hearts and quality time discussions over the backyard fence this spring and summer.
Thank you for all your efforts
This is so important. All plans for economic security will go for nothing if the climate spins out of control. We need to act while there is still time.
How shocking and sad that the Harper government is turning their backs on the environment. Water, air and soil are necessary for life. We all need safe water to drink, clean air to breathe and water and soil to produce our food. Very basic needs for survival. Right?
So why withdraw from Kyoto? Why cancel The Experimental Lakes Studies? Oceans and Fisheries were doing great work in protecting our rivers and lakes and ocean fish stocks. They need more support not less. Expanding drought conditions in Canada and in Africa is scary. As global citizens we must help.
I would like to see the end to tax incentives for large industry as a constant, some relief can be given on a one time basis for projects that will create jobs that are long lasting and environmentally sustainable. Protection of our lakes and rivers should be a no-brainer. Every child sees the beauty to be found there . For us to waste away that beauty for a dollar is a great sin.
I don't understand how anyone can think that Harper will easily win a majority in the next election. ANYONE would be better than him. I challenge members of the Conservative Party to do what's right and vote against him in the legislature. I don't want to wait and see what he's going to do next.
How can we get rid of Harper and his conservative admin EARLY? We can't wait 2 more years! He's destroying everything! It took generations to build our country and our global reputation. We need to start Canada's recovery now!
Whatever happened to the democratic, socially responsible Canada that we were proud of? The Harper government has bent over for the multinationals and the almighty dollar!! I would like to know what can we do and how can we intitiate the public voice, because the Conservative MPs sure don't seem to be representing the constituants!!
Our name and country is being destroyed by Harper. Where we were once respected now others are shocked at our lack of compassion and participation.
I read many of the comments on this page and I have to say that I am ashamed as well to have the government we currently have represent my family and I. They have sold us out so many times and are planning on more of the same in the future. From trying to make more free trade agreements that will sell out our beautiful land to mining and selling asbestos to developing countries when we can't use it here is appalling. My pride in our nation is slowly slipping away. We have so many great people living in this country who care so much about the nation and the world we live in. My greatest wish is that more and more Canadians start to really speak out against these atrocities rather than sitting back and keeping silent.
Where are we going with this government? I did NOT vote for this government so am not quite ashamed of my choice of leaders. This is not right Canada used to be known for many great things and now we are losing our credibility and our integrity because of an incompetent governmet OR because of an incompetent government leader that thinks this is HIS country. This is not HIS country – this is OUR country and he is not speaking for me because I would not make these foolish choices for ALL Canadians. I would let the PEOPLE SPEAK!
Beaver are a keystone species and are recently being used to mitigate drought in areas in the USA. Beaver are routinely trapped and killed throughout North America, and their habitat destroyed for development. If you saw The Nature of Things "The Beaver Whisperer" you'll understand how critical it is to protect beaver because they maintain our water tables. Also, check out an article in Canadian Geographic, December 2012, "The Beaver is Back: How the once-reviled rodent can protect us from drought."
We have now reached 400 ppm CO2 in our atmosphere and I believe we have reached the proverbial tipping point scientists have been warning us about since the 1980′s. In a mere 100 years we have irreversibly changed the balance of nature and are leaving a devastating legacy for future generations. It is critical that we stop the Harper government from raping our nation and contributing to the downfall of the natural world. The only thing transparent about our current government is their lack of concern for our environment.
As I read through the posts I can't help but notice the comments about right-wing fundamentalists. Please believe that there are Christians out there who do not fit that description and who strongly oppose the Harper government's position on a multitude of issues. We are called upon to love all people and to be judicious caretakers of this incredible planet we call home. That includes ALL Canadians, natural resources and wildlife.
Right Hon. P. M. Harper, do you not care that your vile worship of Money by your governments' laws and actions threatens the future of your own children? If they understood that your support of Oil and stubborn refusal to do what will take care of the Earth and its climate will destroy their future they would rebuke you themselves but no doubt you have lied to them as you lie to us. You are vile. Jesus sees through you.
In the name of Corporate Greed, Can you not understand the problems you foisting upon future generations? Or is satisfying current Greed so much more important?
We have a national climate strategy at http://www.climatechange.gc.ca. There are also provincial strategies and many local strategies. We need action not more strategies and reports. Studies, strategy sessions and reports cost taxpayers endless monies with no concrete results except another lovely report.
we do need to change our mind and our way of doing certain things…
These are very, *very* minimal demands.
I signed it because we must grasp at any straws we find,
but what we need is an immediate ban
on oil exploration, drilling, bitumen mining, pipelines,
refineries, oil ports and oil tankers.
The billions of dollars thus saved
must be invested in sustainable energy.
Canada has fallen from being a world leader
in ecological responsibility
to being paired with the USA
as one of the primitive, dirty nations.
We can turn from oil and coal to sun and wind in three years.
We will *never* change if we don't begin,
«and next year may well be too late.
The way in which Harper has used my tax dollars to lobby the American government and pay for ads claiming the Keystone XL pipeline will be good for America enrages me and shames me. The senate scandal of Duffy is not a crime against humanity. Mining the tar sands is.
I dont trust our govt. to create a climate strategy.
Canada's lack of action regarding climate change is distressing, and shameful.
I think grade 5 students could do a better job than Ottawa is doing, for a lot less $$$$$'s
Harper is a scumbag who will do whatever it takes to get that dirty oil to Asia,he doesnt care about the future just a large bank account.
After the Calgary flood (and the other AB affected areas) – right in PW Harper's own riding, how could anyone deny climate change is an influential factor in our daily lives. After the 40 + heat wave in Central Canada, cannot everyone agree: we need to act now to save our species and to reduce its negative impact upon our Blue Planet.
It is hard for me to summon my, now historical pride re: being Canadian. Politically our federal & provincial governments are determined to stay the course with fossil fuels, be it natural gas or oil while removing all science & safeguards which might impede. Our green dialogue is dead in the (contaminated) water. So much moral dismantling in such a short space of time. History will show the Harper regime denied Canadians participation re: energy evolution for a decade and Canadians woke up too late to rescue any semblance of that hard-earned (historical) prideful place in the greater world.
It is frustrating that Canadians keep electing and re-electing ignorant government that lies to its people. Opposition to their actions does not seem to be loud enough or more wide-spread. Does the government really represent the ideology of the majority of Canadians because Harper, the autocrat, is not listening to those who oppose.
For us, and most of our friends and associates, we no longer feel that we have any representation in Ottawa. Canada is becoming a country of rules, or lack of rules, that we no longer recognize. What has always defined Canada is rapidly vanishing as we become a free for all of toxic, resource based raw materials, providing profits for foreign multi nationals, and offering us only a desolate future of devastated landscapes, poisons and sickness. Wonder where Harper is planning to retire? Someplace well removed from the disaster he is creating, I expect.
I, too, am very ashamed of our Canadian Government and what it has done to Canada and the Earth in its 7 years of dictatorship. I love Canada and what it has always stood for, and I appreciate the fair-mindedness, common sense, and decency of Canadians who have been so betrayed and duped by this Government. We desperately need a National Climate Strategy, in addition to an integrative energy policy, environmental and biodiversity policy/strategy, so that we can again be at the forefront of combatting global warming, climate change, biodiversity loss (on land, sea, and air), and even the collapse of human health and well-being. I agree with Ice Bear – the Governor General as Head of State, though appointed by Harper, is supposed to be above the Prime Minister and acting on behalf of the Canadian people, but he is not. Although apparently a very nice man, he disappoints, as he seems to be not much different from all the other political appointees, in or out of the Senate, by Harper, and merely does the present PM's bidding. He is not representing the Canadian people at this point and certainly not intervening on their behalf. It's a good idea to remind him that Australia did bring about the type of change that Canada needs now.
Let's return to our original commitment and more….otherwise we will ALL pay a very high price economically, health-wise, and environmentally.
I'm ashamed of the federal government that Canadians may or may not have elected. I'd like to see Capital Punishment reinstated but only to punish political and corporate leaders when they lie, cheat, and steal from Canadians. Harper should be headless after the next election.
give Harper a wake up call, they have been tip toeing around this issue too long.
I became a handicapped person since 2010 with no possibility to work or make money because outdoors contamination in closed spaces can kill, the government of Canada and health services greatly contributed to this, http://stargate2freedom.com
Harper would do well as a dictator in some banana republic – he's certainly not my idea of a responsible western leader. Can't wait for the next election to get him and his bunch of yes-men out of office.
I see two effective ways to get rid of Harper. One way is political, the other way is violent. The first way is to have Mulcair and Trudeau get over themselves and join Elizabeth May in forming a Coalition Party to defeat Harper's Conservatives in the election. Canadians are traditionally perceived as very polite, but to rid ourselves of this Harper menace we must put politeness aside. Harper is a threat to the quality of life Canadians value and it will take a unified front to force him from power. If that way fails, then the second way becomes a more serious consideration.
Harper government is destroying our country & care nothing about Canada's future or Canadians. Vote Green. None of the others care.

First, at a press meet for 3 Idiots, way back in 2009, we spotted cousin sister Kareena Kapoor sporting a t-shirt with a Rocky graphic.
Later, at the launch of People magazine's sexiest cover, we spotted Ranbir Kapoor in a t-shirt with the Rocky Balboa graphic. He usually likes to pair graphic print tees with leather jackets and denims. More on that in an upcoming post.
Ranbir must really like this t-shirt because he wore it in a pivotal scene in his not-so-great release of 2010, Anjaana Anjaani.
The scene is as follows. Ranbir and Priyanka have pulled into Las Vegas almost broke with enough money to spare for only one motel room. They decide to freshen up before heading out. You see Ranbir pull out his Rocky t-shirt, show his abs (girls were swooning in the theatre) and almost share a kiss with Priyanka.
On an aside, I'm loving the expressions on their faces in these frames. If you've watched the film (don't feel bad if you haven't), you would have noticed the t-shirt on Ranbir and wondered where you could get something similar.
To which I have to say, 'don't worry'. In the city of Mumbai, where Marilyn Monroe queries are responded to with Marilyn Manson products, I found a Rocky Balboa t-shirt. Yay me! Now, you can get it too! At Shoppers' Stop.
Excuse me for not the amateur product photography. Anyhow, when I saw this t-shirt, I was instantly reminded of two people who are huge Rocky fans. Luckily for me, the t-shirt was available in two colours: white and grey (as pictured above). I couriered one and gift-wrapped and hand-delivered the other. They seemed to like it. 🙂
So, hurry and get yours!
If you're a fan and looking for a specific t-shirt but running into dead-ends, superDhruvi shall come to your rescue. Simply post the film/artist/band/etc you want on your t-shirt and I shall either locate it or design one. Alternatively, shoot me an email with your requirements and I promise we will work it out. :*

ANC Approves Revised Tudor Place Plans
At Feb. 27 meeting of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2E, commissioners approved the revised designs submitted by Tudor Place for new buildings on the historic home's grounds: a garage addition, re-positioned archives and collections building and a new gatehouse on 31st Street. Concerns about the scale of the property additions by 32nd Street neighbors were heard and taken to consideration, with commissioners asking if a smaller rear garage would be "practicable." Tudor Place director Leslie Buhler defended the plans as part of the non-profit's mission and future survival and "duty to care" for its property and collections. Other neighbors applauded "the imaginative designs" in the re-do, which will now go before the Old Georgetown Board. Commissioners express their aim was "trying to seek a balance" between nearby residents and the need for maintenance of Georgetown's history.
In other ANC decisions, the parking of food trucks on residential streets was met with disapproval. Commissioners approved a zoning variance for Noodles & Company, which will open at 1815 Wisconsin Ave., N.W. They opposed designs for a condo at Grace Street and Cecil Place but did give a thumbs-up to renovations at 3401 Water Street for the upcoming Malmaison restaurant.
The ANC will meet next on April 2, 6:30 p.m., at Georgetown Visitation Prep.

Africa is home to over 20% of the world's bat species. This rich diversity of nearly 300 species is often passed off for charismatic "megafauna" and thus receive relatively limited research interest and often ignored in habitat management plans. African bats face increasing threats from habitat destruction, persecution and hunting for bushmeat. Individuals interested in African bats have previously worked in isolation with limited resources. To meet these challenges, Bat Conservation Africa (BCA) was launched.
BCA is a network of individuals dedicated to the conservation of African bats. Serving as an information sharing platform, the network facilitates collaboration among members, develops and raises funds for bat projects at regional and continental levels, engages in public advocacy, and advises policy for the conservation of African bats

We are taking a trip across the globe to Salt Lake City, Utah, USA with this weeks Guest Blogger, Petina Watkins. Petina is the marketing co-ordinator at Oye Modern and was very fortunate to attend Altitude Design Summit a couple of weeks ago. This week Petina will be bringing us some of the highlights of her time at the worlds biggest design blogging conference. Thanks Petina! -Jenny x
Hi, I'm Petina! Image from i like you world and Oye Modern
Fellow Bloggers & Creative Friends – Are you keen to learn about the art of blogging from some of the best design bloggers in the world?
My name is Petina and I'm in love with good design. I'm the marketing co-ordinator at Oye Modern – an Australian online jewellery store committed to seeking out the best and most innovative modern jewellery designers from here and abroad. I also have a personal design blog called I like you world.
Last week I attended Altitude Summit, a design conference for bloggers in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stick around as over the next few days I will share with you highlights of the conference including what I learned from the business panels, and photos of the amazing parties put on by Alt Summit. Today, I will be telling you about what happened on my first day in Salt Lake City.
Grand America Hotel – Image by Brooke Ashley Dennis from alt summit flickr
Getting from Sydney to Salt Lake City took over 24 hours travelling time, 3 planes and several hours in transit. I finally arrived in Salt Lake City giddy with excitement and also slightly worried about whether I'd packed enough warm clothing. I needn't have worried. Checking into the Grand America Hotel where the summit was to take place, I quickly realised that the hotel was well heated. It was also, as the name implies, very grand! I had arrived a day before the Summit began so I had a chance to have a good look around the hotel.
Images by Moss + Issac from alt summit flickr
There were chandeliers everywhere, a beautiful toy store, a 'ladies' cocktail lounge (men were allowed), a cupcake shop and a macarons stand.
I went downstairs to register for the summit and received a big gift box, which all attendees receive. Free goodies!
What's inside…? Free Goodies! Images by Moss + Isaac from alt summit flickr and oye modern
I also met my two roomies, Jana from Little Bird Soda Co. and Dayle from Made by Soda Pop, who I'd only previously met on Twitter! We bonded over cocktails and shared stories into the wee hours.
Room service in my fancy room? Yes, please! Image from oye modern
Tomorrow I will be sharing with you the first round of panels and photos of the amazing White Party. See you then!

Saturday Night At The Liberal Curmudgeon: The Velvet Underground
Though they never had huge commercial success, The Velvet Underground are considered one of the most influential groups in rock history. Rolling Stone named them 19th out of the "100 Greatest Artists," and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. This proto-punk, NYC-based band did not share the flower power ethos of the late 60s; their music explored darker, urban themes, as in the lyrics about drug addiction in "Run Run Run," heard above in a 1969 performance. The vocals are followed by a jam featuring characteristic guitar feedback and distortion. Andy Warhol (shots of the pop artist are in the video above) managed the group, which played regularly at his studio, The Factory. Warhol's multimedia shows, which accompanied Velvet Underground concerts, were known as the "Exploding Plastic Inevitable." Guitarist and songwriter Lou Reed has gone on to a successful solo career; his performances are showcased here, here and, with Pete Townshend, here.

I think The Velvet Underground were surpassed only by The Beatles in their influence on rock music. It's use of musical imagery, especially John Cals's viola - as displayed so vividly in this video, painted those "darker, urban" landscapes you mentioned. Ironically, Cale had left the band by the time it achieved it's most commercial success with the more mainstream, yet equally brilliant LOADED album ("Sweet Jane", etc.). Also, original drummer Maureen Tucker was not on LOADED; I believe she was on maternity leave at the time of recording. Anyway, thanks for the video.

You're welcome. The Velvet Underground have indeed been an enormous influence on the punk, grunge and alternative genres.

During my daily conversations with technology vendors about battle cards, I am encountering leaders that are taking a different approach. Sales leaders are taking responsibility for the portfolio of battle cards – some larger vendors have hundreds – and assigning someone to "fix the problem."
Individuals who get assigned to fix "the battle card problem" sometimes report into sales operations and other times into corporate marketing. Sometimes this individual has a background in competitive intelligence, but other times the person is completely unacquainted with battle cards. The one trait that these individuals do share is that they have empathy for sales teams.
Battle cards come from a variety of internal groups including product managers, competitive teams, partner alliances, industry groups, or others who want to educate sales reps to handle obstacles caused by competitors. Each group packages up battle cards differently so that sales reps experience differences in the quality of content every time they use a battle card. As I talk with individuals tasked with fixing "the battle card problem," they tell me that when they look at their current collection of battle cards, they don't even know where to begin.

Ravens linebacker Terrelle Suggs told ESPN's Lisa Salters that he believes commisioner Roger Goodell was behind last year's Super Bowl black out.
"Most definitely I thought he had a hand in it," said Suggs.
Suggs says he saw Goodell on the sidelines talking with John Elways prior to their AFC divisional game against the Broncos and he thought that showed that he favored Denver.
Sounds like Suggs needs to loosen up a bit. Relax Terrell, I don't think Goodell cared.

About the company
Stark Sisters Granola
The Best Granola On The Planet
Categories: Granola & Granola Bars
Attributes: Wheat Free, GMO Free, Vegan, Dairy Free
Back in the Old Country, Grandpa Stark stirred up a crunchy granola according to a secret family recipe. It was a labor of love. He tapped trees to make his own syrup. He sowed his own oats. His 18 siblings realized the family fortunes were made as word about this delicacy spread far and wide. Cossacks galloped up to the door and rode away with sacks of granola thrown over their shoulders. But the winds of war and turbulent times blew both Grandpa and his recipe to the New World.
Many years later in the small kitchen of her natural food store in historic West Concord, Massachusetts, Debra Stark, owner and chef, uncovered the long lost family secrect. Using only the highest quality ingredients and stirring gently with pure Vermont maple syrup, Debra recreated the flavor for which Czars once drooled. (Isn't folklore wonderful? That's the story we tell the grandkids anyway.) The wonderful aroma pulled people into the store and Stark Sisters Granola was born. Oh and the part about the aroma dragging customers into the store is definitely true!!
Stark Sisters Granola is the ultimate granola because this is the granola you'd make yourself if you had time! Roasted until crunchy and stirred so you're left with great big clumps. Organic grains and premium ingredients carefully chosen to provide TOTAL nutritional support to balance active lifestyles. Stark Sisters Granola combines the science of nutrition with great taste! It's also made in a kosher facility, wheat-free, vegan ... just like Grandpa would have wanted.
Stark Sisters Granola is a bottom up success. While the big guys spend millions to sell 'stuff', it has been the customer demand which has put Stark Sisters Granola on shelves across the country. From Whole Foods to your neighborhood natural foods markets, Stark Sisters is growing, one delicious mouthful at a time.

Even though they're now an established part of the home cinema landscape, Blu-ray players are still a major cause of confusion, particularly when it comes to building a home cinema system based around one. So with that in mind, we're going back to Blu-ray basics in order to explain some of the commonly misunderstood aspects of these hi-def disc players.
One of the biggest causes of confusion is the staggered introduction of the Blu-ray standard onto the market, which means that you'll find certain features on some players but not on others.
When Blu-ray was first introduced two years ago, the standard had not yet been finalised and as a result the first players on sale lacked many of the capabilities that the format now offers. These players were known as Profile 1.0, but the standard has since been updated to Profile 1.1 (also known as BonusView or Final Standard Profile) which adds secondary video and audio decoders to the list of available features, making it possible to view picture-in-picture commentaries with a separate audio track. At the time of writing there are only two dedicated Profile 1.1 players on the market (the Panasonic DMP-BD30 and the Samsung BD-P1500) plus one system (the Panasonic SC-BT100), as well as the PlayStation 3, which is the UK's only Blu-ray player that can have its profile updated.
But calling Profile 1.1 'Final Standard Profile' is somewhat misleading, as there is another profile that adds even more functionality into the mix. Profile 2.0, or BD Live, adds an Internet connection (via Ethernet), which allows you to download extra content from the web or interact with other movie fans around the world. It's already possible to upgrade the PS3 to BD Live, and Panasonic has recently launched the UK's first standalone BD Live player, the DMP-BD50.
So if you're shopping around for a Blu-ray deck and like the idea of picture-in-picture or web interactivity, then it's best to avoid Profile 1.0 players altogether and go for a Profile 1.1 or BD Live deck. But if you couldn't care less about such features then you could pick up a Profile 1.0 player at a knockdown price. Even if it doesn't support the BonusView or BD Live features found on some discs, you'll still be able to play the movie in glorious hi-def, and isn't that the most important thing?

Barefoot Farm directly assists Tarahumara farmers by providing them with native maize seeds, basic tools, and assistance with water resources and land protection. 100% of all farm proceeds and donations go directly to establishing grassroots seed banks for Tarahumara farmers. We also provide water and irrigation, basic tools, micro-loans, and other support.
We have spent many years with the Tarahumara, modeling our own farm after their practices. We have also built relationships with the people, enabling us to provide direct assistance to the Tarahumara farmers who need it most. Drought, logging, and soil erosion have made subsistence farming even more difficult for the Tarahumara, and many farmers lack the resources to continue growing their ancient varieties of corn. We provide the seeds and tools to enable Tarahumara to continue their traditional farming and running culture.
A donation of $35 provides a year's worth of maize seeds for a Tarahumara farmer.
A donation of $50 enables a Tarahumara farmer to grow additional crops to support his family.
A donation of $100 or more can provide a seed bank for an entire Tarahumara community.
Barefoot Farm is an all-volunteer nonprofit. 100% of your donations go directly to providing seeds and produce for people in need. All donations are also 100% tax-deductible.

Does anyone have any experience with OLYARMS 9mm AR that uses Glock Mags? I just got one on a bargin price. Never saw one before and have found no one who has had direct experience - just hearsay. Only put about 450 rounds thru it. It starts to fail to eject after about 150 rounds. After a good cleaning it works well for another 150. It accumulated brass chips and a lot of unburnt powder. I get a small amount of blow back on each shot (left handed) - it's a blowback action and throws crap out on ejection.
Any info or experiences would be appreciated.
