Not the best BB for users within USA
This is a very good phone....same reliable BB features as any other. Looks sleek too. However, upon comparing this BB to the recent BB 8530 Curve II, its only benefits include a 3.2MP camera (the Curve II has a 2.0MP camera) and the ability to utilize GSM (SIM card) networks worldwide. So if you rarely travel to Europe, not much use. The Curve II has everything the Tour has, but instead of GSM capability, it boasts WiFi connectivity (faster download speeds!!). Not to mention the Curve II has a trackpad instead of a trackball, which means no need to clean or replace the most used hardware piece on your phone. Oh, and the Curve II is lighter. And it has Bluetooth version 2.1, whereas the Tour has 2.0. The charging port on the Tour is located on the bottom right side of the phone (right-handed texters, beware the frustration while charging!), whereas the Curve II has its port on the top left side (works for everyone!). And the Curve II retails at a lower price compared to the Tour. And for any people out there who use hearing aids, the following is extremely important: The American National Standards Institute (both respected and official) gives the Tour an M3 rating, which means the phone "satisfies" acoustic hearing aid standards; whereas the BB Curve II receives an M4 ("exceeds standards" for acoustic aids) and a T4 ("exceeds standards" for induction hearing aids). My summary: If you live in the US and rarely leave the US, and you...Design 7/10Features 7/10Performance 9/10
- - 3.2 MP camera
- - GSM network capability for worldwide travelers
- - Good battery life
- - No WiFi

First Blackberry
This is my first blackberry so going into it I didnt really know what to expect. Needless to say, I love it. It does everything I need it to. I was considering a palm pre but I am somewhat over the whole touch screen craze so I just wanted something that was easy to use but still robust feature wise.
Since almost anything I would want to say has already been said, I will just say that if you are considering this phone, just do it. You will love it.
My phone hasnt had any of the trackball issues that I had read about, RIM seems to have ironed out the problem. As far as the loose battery door issue on the sprint model, it is nowhere near what people make it out to be. It could hardly even be considered an issue.Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10

- lack of threaded text (not really a con, it is coming in the 5.0 OS update)

Blackberry Tour, a welcome release for the business users
I bought this phone to release my Storm which I wasn't overly impressed with. I've heard both good and bad reviews of the Storm, but in my opinion it's not a business phone. Either way, to review the Blackberry Tour.
My first impression of the Blackberry Tour was great. The phone feels solid, yet not bullky or over weight. I like the sleek design and raised keys. I held this phone next to the Tmobile 8900 as I feel this is the best comparison other then possibly the Bold. The Tour is very comparable without WiFi.
The phone is very responsive, no annoying lag during requests. The camera functions as you would expect and keyboard is easy to use either one handed or two handed. I rarely hit the wrong key due to the new key design.
For anybody looking for a business phone, I highly recommend this phone. I feel it's the best phone offered to day 7/18/09 for business purposes. I expect company's to adopt this as the standard business Blackberry until the next latest and greatest Blackberry is released.
I multitask constantly on my Blackberry and this phone has been able to keep up so far.
Personal Preference: I bought the plastic holster for the phone, I'm not a big fan of the leather holsters. They aren't as easy / smooth to get your phone in and out when you look at it 100 times a day (I receive a lot of emails).Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10
- Quick processor
- Easy to use trackball (doesn't seem to stick like previous models)
- Sleek design
- Raised keys
- Sturdy design without being bulky
- No WiFi
- I liked the old design of plastic holsters better then the current design with a clip on top, although I understand the need for the change.

excellent phone

The Smart Device For the Smartest Of Them All
I have been a WinMo user for about four years now. Having used it so long I kind of got used to expecting my device to run real slow & eventually crap out on me... at least once a day. My best friends all have been using BlackBerry devices for a long while now. So, I decided to jump on the bandwagon! I tell you what... its been a great ride so far. This device is so much faster that my HTC Touch Pro that eventually pissed me off to the point of no end! When I received it last Friday it pretty much activated its self with a little help from my service provider. My favorite thing about this device is how clear the speaker phone is. It sounds so amazing. Even at a very low volume it picks up your voice very well. The multimedia app allows you to shift through all your pictures, music & movies with a few swipes of the thumb. The option to completely customize your menu is so comforting. If you don't like clutter, its as simple as hiding, moving or even deleting the tiles and/or folders you what to get out of the way. Just like all BlackBerry's the email service is like none other. Super easy to set up & is pushed directly to your phones inbox. The only reason I did not give this device full 10's all the way across the board is because RIM could have done a lot better with the SMS layout. Tethered chat style SMS is the only real way to go these days. If you need to hold on to important messages for a while, its so much easier to be able to click on a persons name &...Design 9/10Features 9/10Performance 9/10
- Great screen resolution, Faster than previous BlackBerry models, Great speaker that's loud enough to hear in the noisiest of places, Multimedia app is good enough to actually keep & fun to use, Battery life isn't bad either

This is my second blackberry and i love it. at first i had the curve 8330, it wasent that bad but the only thing i really liked on the phone was the keyboard. it was slow it shut off whenever it felt like it and it would freezee all of the time. now that i have the tour, its amazinggg! its fat the tracballs better and the LED key board lighting is the best i can see all of my keys clealrly now and its just the best thte internet is so.so but the phones great for texting and emailing. but the bad feature is the charger port placement and the dicontinuation of the wifi feature. the chager port is at the bottom of the cellular device and its hard to use the phone while on charge. but overall i love the phone~Build quality 10/10Reception 7/10Call quality 8/10Internet 8/10Multimedia 10/10Camera 10/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 10/10

Your old man's smartphone
justanotherrs has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review
I absolutely hate this phone as do most people I've talked to about it. The only thing it really does well is messaging. Though you may have to do a battery pull when you realize that you just received a big dump of messages all at once that were actually sent some time ago. The out of the box OS when this phone released was poor and the updates made it somewhat more bearable. The internet browsing is so unreliable as to be essentially worthless unless you happy to be having a lucky day and have an emergency. Tried the Opera browser which is even less reliable than RIM's if a bit faster. Have had to pull the battery because Opera wouldn't respond to the trackball. Seems to me that Verizon should only charge for SMS and email on this device because for all practical purposes this is all that it can do. I'm pondering paying out of pocket for a Droid phone to get me through the next year before my 2 year contract is up and I can cancel my data plan. Really irritates me to pay $30 a month for email access that I barely use. What a mistake! This is not a consumer phone. Unless you are a business user, don't bother with this obsolete POS.Build quality 8/10Reception 8/10Call quality 8/10Internet 2/10Multimedia 5/10Camera 5/10UI speed 5/10Everyday usage 5/10Text input 6/10Display 4/10Battery 7/10

Best Smart phone ever
I like to try a new gadget whenever first come to the market, my phone the longest use only 2 - 3 months after that i have get bored. But this Blackberry I have owned almost a year now and i have no attention to changed to other smart phones, of course i also tried SE X10 Android and no doubt it also tempting BUT once again But never want to change my BB, the functions is amaze me - how easy to track contact, push email (although other smartphones have tried but no succeed) and of course the BB messenger. As I said before although i stick with the BB but I have tried 8310, 8520 gemini, 9000 Bold (i have lost it), and now end with 9630, so far i have satisfied with all. this new one 9630 i have two complaint track ball and battery - and that's it, but i am consider to change to 9700 although have small memory compared with previous one but those two requirements i think the most vital amongst other.Design 8/10Features 8/10Performance 6/10
- Big memory, sleek design
- Short Battery life, track ball less quality than 9000, getting hot if you use for a long time

Best tool I own
This is my 1st BB which I've now had for 2 months.As time goes on I'm more impressed with the features and ease of use.I figure I'm saving at least 10 to 20 hours a month vs. previous communicationmethods for emails, texting and voice. Since it's a private business tool this saved timecovers my monthly 3G communciations bill for a variety of devices at least5 times over. Oh, and it's fairly durable too.Design 9/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10

I'd Still Pick a BB Over Anything Else!
I've had my Sprint BB Tour for 3 months now love it more and more each day! This is my first BB so it was a bit fustrating to learn at the very beginning. I've had my bb mobile 'network technology' option set on '1XEV' during the first two months because I heard that this would increases battery life. But I was experiencing lots of freezing up on screen especially if I navigate too fast by clicking the trackball and downloads were slow. I noticed that by adjusting the trackball sensitivity to lower value (slower) helps keep the screen from freezing as often. Last month I added a 4GB micro sd memory card to my bb and decided to switch my bb mobile 'network technology' option to 'global' instead. Since then the battery life is half of what it use to be when set on '1XEV'. The screen no longer freezes up. If it does, it's just for a few seconds (not noticeable). But I do clear my browser cache, history, and cookies quite often. My trackball was having problems scrolling up recently which became annoying. I didn't have time to take it back to Sprint at the time so I turned off my bb, took out the battery, sim card, memory card and gave it a thorough cleaning; especially around the trackball area. Well, the cleaning paid off. The trackball is good as new. Maintenance is necessary and no different than a home pc. Other than the above mentioned quirks, this bb Tour is incredibly amazing! The navigation, the texting, the...Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 9/10

blackberry tour
I've had the Pearl and the Curve, and now the Tour. I was skepitcal because I heard rumors about the trackball not working properly and several other issues. I will admit that yes, a few times the trackball has been sticky and it freezes, but nothing that drives me nuts. Now that I've actually 'broken in' the phone, it works fine! The camera takes GREAT pictures and the sound quality during phone calls is good too. One small complaint is the that the battery life isn't great at all, but it isn't any worse than any other smartphone. This is why car chargers and extra batteries were made, and are ALWAYS a good idea. Overall, I'd reccomend this phone. But not to the person who expects perfect... that hasn't been made yet.Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 9/10

Trackball is awful
I really liked this phone for the first 2 months. The trackball, however, is horrific! I am beyond frustrated and am hoping RIMM figures this one out. I have 2 other Tour's and they all experience the same issue! It randomly works, but its horizontal movement is almost non-existent which makes scrolling back and forth nearly impossible.Design 9/10Features 9/10Performance 5/10

Tour not 100% great
I agree that when I first got this phone, I thought it was amazing. Now I have had it for two months and things start breaking down, the track ball refuses to work at all, it shuts off whenever it pleases, and my phone freezes randomly. The track ball is a big issue, it takes me like 20 mins to a hald hour just to get it to move over to the next icon. Iy was fun while it lasted, but I want a regular phone again, Blackberrys aren't worth it.Design 7/10Features 9/10Performance 5/10

I loved this phone when I first got it on July 18th after I had pre-ordered it. I started noticing little quirky things that I didn't like after a few weeks though. The phone would take an extremely long time to load the song ID and the battery life seemed to be going downhill. So, I did some research and found out that there is a way to improve the battery life, thank goodness! You go into manage connections, click on mobile network and change it from Global to 1exev. This improved the battery life greatly. The only other complaint is that from time to time I get an error message when I try to use the camera. The error says to close other applications before trying to restart the camera, even if you don't have anything running. The only way I've found to fix this problem is by pulling the battery.Overall this is a decent phone.Design 8/10Features 8/10Performance 8/10

Excellent. And im a Geek, Id know lol
This was my second blackberry. I had the storm for a little while but i really really hated it. It was slow and unresponsive and i wanted to get rid of it, so i did (Thank you eddie from craigslist). So i went to my VW store and got myself this phone. I had it for about a day and havent had any trouble with it compared to my Storm which went slow from the first boot. So it was pretty easy to set up. Has a great interface, And has been so easy to transfer everthing over. I would recomend this to anyone. Nice screen, Easy keyboard use.

I'm torn...
I've had the Tour with Verizon for a little over a month now. I love it, but I'm having some issues. This is the 2nd one I've had. Replaced the first one within the 30 day period. When I get an email, there is no red star on the icon telling me, I have to go into it to know which email had the new one. Also, people have been telling me they get my SMS messages 2 or 3 times instead of just once.
Other than that, I found the apps are great. I have Pandora, Google Maps, and UberTwitter set up. There is no lag in email or mms. Amazing picture quality. The battery life kinda sucks but it's expected with such a data-heavy device. I plan on exchanging my Tour again, because of the fact of the SMS getting sent over and over, but I will definately not get a different device. It is perfect in every other way!Design 10/10Features 9/10Performance 7/10

Best phone I've used
For those of you that prefer the solid feel of a trackball and keyboard and a crisp, responsive operating system, there really is no comparison. Blackberry finally has a phone for more than just business use.
While the Iphone is highly configurable and incredibly supported with applications, I always found it slow and bulky. I am somewhat frenetic and send out a lot of correspondence on my phone. I almost purchased a palm PRE after trying out my daughter's phone. It is one of the first touch screen, smartphones that might keep up with me. But the blackberry keyboard fits my hands well. Blackberry still offers a superior work messaging platform. No touch screen to worry about scratching. And I prefer a trackball.
This blackberry finally offers up a lot of minor details that make for a pleasant user experience that you used to have to customize to use. SMS messages are threaded. Mispellings are underligned as I type. There is a bedside mode for those of us that use our phones as a clock. It offers to switch to handset when a call comes so even though I may be connected to my earbud if I don't have it in my ear I can readily answer. The mute is available in a variety of menus as a toggle so it is easy to swap in and out. Mute and speaker are available on the keyobard. Locking the handset is no longer a two step procedure but a dedicated...Design 10/10Features 9/10Performance 10/10

Apple's $46bn cash mountain is a source of frustration that is now "bordering on exasperation" for the company's shareholders. So says Toni Sacconaghi of Sanford C Bernstein, one of Wall Street's most respected hardware analysts, in an open letter to the company.
But don't expect Apple to bow quickly to calls to start paying a dividend or otherwise distribute the money. Steve Jobs said earlier this year that having the cash on hand gives Apple huge strategic flexibility. And Wall Street seldom seems bothered by how tech companies deploy their excess cash – as Microsoft has found since it got religion about disciplined cash management some years ago.

Besides having such an unusual finish, these Czech strands also come color variegated, so instead of just one earthtone brown, you also get leaf green and khaki grey. With a finish called "Snakeskin", this bead looks eerily like a cobra. Through a process of layering black glass underneath, the top coat has been given a texture much like raku pottery. Luckily, hole sizes are generous and consistent and will fit 2 passes of Tuff Cord #3 for laddering.
Sold on strands of approximately 37-38 beads. Measures 6 inches in length when strung.

We had a ball... could have been better.: Carnival Fascination Cruise Review by nrayorr
Overall Member Rating
We had a ball... could have been better.
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Jacksonville
We were able to go to the Lido deck to grab a bite to eat. The food was good to us. We never really had cruised together so there was nothing to compare. The food was plentiful and we took advantage of the assortment that they had. From there we went to our room
When we got to our room it was in very decent shape. The port window was pretty dirty from the outside, so that could have been improved upon. Our travel agent knew that my wife and I were going to celebrate our anniversary, so she made arrangements to have some chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of More champagne delivered to our room before we got there. What a wonderful surprise that was! My wife had crashed in the bed not realizing how draining the flight was since this was her first time flying. I let her sleep for just a bit otherwise she wouldn't get used to the time zone change. While she was asleep I decided to look around a little bit more and then we had our muster drill. This didn't happen the last time I cruised, so it surprised me. My wife was awakened by our cabin steward and joined me.
We had a day at sea planned, so there was plenty of time to look around the ship. The ship was small, but that was fine by us. The ship was very nice, the deck looked a little old, but it was a pretty old ship. The pools were very crowded most of the time and the water was warm which didn't help me at all. Thank the Lord for AC! We had our first drink and we knew that our budget was going to be increased just a bit because the drinks were good... not watered down like my last cruise. We then went back to the cabin to get ready for dinner. Once again, the food was great. SO much better in the dining room versus the Lido Deck. I had no idea that the food would be so good and plentiful. I had two of everything I had ordered. Fantastic!
So, we ended our evening with some evening entertainment. It was a variety show and wow... I WASN'T IMPRESSED! It was not good at all except for one lady that had a pretty decent singing voice. My wife was sitting there with a look on her face that could only be described as, "Are you serious?" I kept my hand over my mouth in order not to laugh... it was terrible! From there we had a couple more drinks and the went to bed.
The next morning we woke up to the ship not moving at all. We didn't know what was going on, but it through off our itinerary. The reason was that there was some people on board that might not have been legally able to travel because of customs. The breakfast wasn't all that great to me because we had decided to eat in the dining room. Not saying that the food was bad but it just wasn't to my liking. Because of the customs thing our first excursion cancelled because of timing. Once we got to Key West my wife and I decided just to walk around, but once we got off the bus we immediately came across a kiosk that was selling excursions. The prices were outstanding, we both booked a para sailing adventure that cost the same as one of us would have paid with Carnival so we were ecstatic. The city was so nice and clean, I would love to go visit there again. The company we para sailed with (the name escapes me) was nice. They were friendly and very nice. They recorded our time in the air, the price was a little steep in my opinion ($30.00 for a DVD), but we paid it because we wanted to capture that time. We went back to the ship after spending time shopping around Key West.
Once we got back on board we had dinner and once again the food did not disappoint. The staff had prepared a routine which was fun to watch. We sat with three other couples which all were very nice and gave us some pointers as we were the ones who were new to cruising. What was interesting is that one of the couples took our very first picture on board. So, that made it even that much easier for my wife to relax.
We didn't care too much for Nassau. The first time I went I did a tour, but we decided to snorkel. The company did just fine, but I wasn't having a great time because all three of my masks didn't seal, so I took on a lot of sea water and got a little nauseous. But after a sandwich I felt better. The drinks they served on board the boat was fine, but I really didn't care for the facilities. Very dirty and smelled bad. My wife had a great time snorkeling, so as long as she had fun I was alright. The owner of the boat said that his wife owned a "store" back on land, so we decided to go there. Big mistake! The store was actually a huge tent with 60 vendors crowded in. Her section was way in the back. When we were ready to leave it was like being attacked by a mob, almost every vendor tried to sell us their wares. We really didn't care much for that experience. The actual stores were better. All in all our trip to Nassau wasn't great. However, we didn't tour and we didn't go to Atlantis.
We spent the next day at sea, soaked in the sun and tried to go to a comedy show that was very packed. We decided against the show and decided to just chill in a hot tub. For the most part we did enjoy ourselves and immediately booked another cruise, but in the Southern Caribbean this time around. We look forward to going. Less

Washington • A year after losing a presidential race many Republicans thought was winnable, the party arguably is in worse shape than before. The GOP is struggling to control tensions between its tea party and establishment wings and watching approval ratings sink to record lows.
It's almost quaint to recall that soon after Mitt Romney lost to President Barack Obama, the Republican National Committee recommended only one policy change: endorsing an immigration overhaul, in hopes of attracting Hispanic voters.
That immigration bill is now struggling for life and attention in the Republican-run House. The bigger worry for many party leaders is the growing rift between business-oriented Republicans and the GOP's more ideological wing. Each accuses the other of bungling the debt ceiling and government shutdown dramas, widely seen as a major Republican embarrassment.

Full page image best practices & TOC
I seem to be making progress with the help of Sigil creating of my first epub, but am at the point where I better ask a few questions before I head off in the wrong direction and have to redo stuff.
For images - I have a series of them that should appear by themselves on a page - they precede the chapters. I have created them at 760x600 and have put them in a svg container, each in its own xhtml document.
The image documents don't show up in the list of documents to select or un-select to appear in the TOC. I could include them in the chapter documents - but what is required to make a document TOC eligible?
Also, even the documents I deselected appear in the iBook on the iPad (
ios 4.3). Is that normal?
Are there things I should be keeping in mind now in order to save my self heaps of anguish when I convert this to modi format (other than I should have gone the other way)?

OK – I've covered The Great Oregon Steam Up before – but this year – I thought I'd focus on the Oregon Electric Railway Museum – which is co-located at the Steam Up site.
Hugh and I made the trip up to Brooks this last weekend for the annual event – and though I knew the Railway Museum was there – I'd never really seen it open – or at least what I recognized as "open". In years past, this limited me to just shooting the cars that were sitting outside the museum – like the Metro at the bottom of the post.
This year – I happened to pop my head inside an open door – and stumbled onto this great international collection of old trolleys – all in some stage of restoration. The panorama – though not a perfect panorama – shows much of the museum from the top deck of a 1927 double decker from Blackpool, England.
And of course – the vintage advertising caught my eye. Good stuff.
Photographically – a couple of things.
- This was indoors – in a warehouse – the lighting is middlin' at best. Fast lenses will help – as will any image stabilization that you may have on your camera / lens. I was shooting a Canon 24mm f/2.8 on the 50D – which doesn't have stabilization.
- If you need to crank up the ISO to get the shots – then do it. It's always better to get the shot.
- Tripods would likely work in here – but I much prefer to work fast and light.
- It's difficult to eliminate the surroundings. Be creative.
As for the rest of Steam Up – it's all still there. The vintage farm tractors, steam tractors, small steam engines, fire trucks, old cars, and demonstrations. So, if you find yourself in the Willamette Valley this weekend – check it out.

The APS April Meeting will take place April 30 through May 3 at the Hyatt Hotel Orange County, in Garden Grove, California, next to Anaheim and a mile from Disneyland. This year's theme is "100 Years of Sub-Atomic Physics," commemorating Rutherford's 1911 paper on the atomic nucleus. The yearly meeting is expected to host about 1,500 attendees and will feature about 75 invited sessions, more than 100 contributed sessions, nine plenary talks, poster sessions and a public lecture.
APS April Meeting
The meeting highlights the latest research from the APS divisions of Particles and Fields, Astrophysics, Nuclear, Computational, Plasma and Beam physics. In addition, the forums on Education, Graduate Student Affairs, History of Physics, International Physics, and Physics and Society will be participating, along with the topical groups on Energy Research and Applications, Few-Body Systems, Gravitation, Hadronic Physics, Plasma Astrophysics, and Precision Measurements & Fundamental Constants.
The three plenary sessions will cover a wide variety of exciting topics. Saturday morning's session is sponsored by the Kavli Foundation, and features keynote speaker Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas at Austin, whose talk is titled "From Rutherford to the LHC." Also at the same session, Maria Spiropulu from CERN and Caltech will describe recent scientific results from the LHC, and Dan Hooper of Fermilab will have an update on the latest efforts to pin down dark matter. Monday morning's session will feature John Johnson of Caltech with an update on the ever-expanding hunt for planets outside our solar system, Carl Wieman, Associate Director for Science at the Office of Science and Technology Policy, talking about science policy, and Yang Shao-Horn of MIT expounding on the latest in energy storage and battery technology. At Tuesday morning's plenary session, Brookhaven National Lab's Bill Marciano will cast some light on the confusing and seemingly conflicting results about the radius of the proton, Stuart Henderson from Fermilab will talk about how particle accelerators have had a major impact on physics and society, and Nergis Mavalvala from MIT will discuss quantum mechanics and gravitational wave detection
The recipients of many of APS's prestigious prizes and awards will be honored at a special ceremonial session on Sunday evening, which will also feature the retiring presidential address by Curtis Callan of Princeton, who served as APS President in 2010..
On Sunday, graduate students are invited to Lunch with the Experts. Graduate students can sign up to dine with known experts in a field that interests them, in an atmosphere of informal discussion. The list of topics will be available on the April Meeting website in January, and signups, on a first come, first served basis, will be at the meeting itself starting at 1:00 on Friday April 29.
Also for students is the APS Student Resource Room, open Saturday through Monday, 10 am to 3 pm. There students with free entry stickers can interact with fellow students, peruse society literature, and enjoy complimentary refreshments.
Throughout the hotel, booths with tabletop displays will be set up for exhibitors to show off their products.
As always, attendees are invited to stop by APS's Contact Congress booth to send letters to their members of Congress about the importance of federal research funding.
APS encourages the redistribution of the materials included in this newspaper provided that attribution to the source is noted and the materials are not truncated or changed.

"Grey's Anatomy" Recap: Episode 21, "Desire"
"Grey's Anatomy" Recap: Episode 21, "Desire"
As the title would suggest, this episode of "Grey's Anatomy" was all about desire and where it lands you — which, if the show can be believed, is a big, fat nowhere. Everyone saw their desires backfire this time, setting up a lot of heartache for the final episodes of the season, so for all the details (plus a TON of pictures),
First, I must address the penis fish. Yes, it's a bit obvious to have a guy who has an affair get a carnivorous fish stuck in his unmentionables, and usually I hate it when the medical cases are too perfectly related to the interns' lives. But I have to give them a pass on the penis fish. Not only did it lead to some of the best lines of the night — Mere's "It's no fish in my hoohoo, but it's certainly not an easy ride," for one — but it's just. So. Nasty.
I think "Grey's" has become my penis fish. Like Izzie said to George, it should give me a lot of joy, but often it feels like there's something's chewing up my insides. And while I thought this episode was OK overall, some of it was just too much.
Really, what I'm talking about is Izzie and George. First, they're working together with a guy who wants to be with a girl so much that he feels like he's on fire whenever she's around. Then, George has to deal with Larry-the-board-chairman's mistress. And then, Larry's wife tells George that she knows about Larry's affair — "The wife always knows." Add to that Callie stumbling on George and Izzie at the precise moment when George is shoving wedding cake into Izzie's mouth, and the plotline started to feel like a million anvils bonking me on the head.
I loved Callie telling Izzie off in the elevator, though; she really wants George back, though I'm not sure she actually had him to start with. And the Callie-Addison scene was awesome, with Addison telling Callie that if she's obsessing over all the time Izzie is spending with George, she probably has a reason to worry. And I'm curious to see if George will really transfer to Mercy West. Would that even solve anything?
While we're on the topic of Addison, it's time to talk about the Addisex. I loved Ava serving as the gossip hub of Seattle Grace, but her passing out before she could tell Alex the latest Addison scoop was, again, a bit much. It hardly mattered, though, because Addison took matters into her own hands and jumped Alex in the closet. That scene made me a little angry — I so don't want Addison to be the person who kisses an intern in the hallway — but I was also curious to see what would happen when they got together. And the answer is: nothing. Alex doesn't want her, and Addison wants more than hot sex in the closet. Plus, Mark isn't fighting for her; saying he gave into sex before the 60 days were up was an easy out, but it was the right move. I loved Addison's wistful glance back at Seattle Grace as she walked out — almost like she's about to leave for LA, or something.
Meredith and Derek are a mess now, too — and I'm pretty happy about that. Meredith has developed "girlfriend GPS," but Derek is pulling back. And I was glad he was able to overlook the fact that naked Meredith had climbed into his bed and say what someone has been needing to say for weeks: that he spent the scariest hour of his life trying to breathe for her after she let herself drown, and he's not sure he can keep breathing for her forever.
Burke and Cristina seem to be the only happy ones right now — and even then, I'm not sure if happy is the word. She could barely be bothered with his cake-tasting (I loved Bailey walking away with a whole cake), yet in the end they both settled on red velvet, and Cristina finally ditched her studying to make out with him (albeit only after he forced the flash cards out of her hand).
The Chief and Bailey had some good moments this time around, too (finally!). Larry gave the Chief a lot to think about, and now I'm not so sure he's going to retire after all. Meanwhile, he's trying to give Bailey a warning, telling her that she needs to step back before she, too, loses touch with her family. It will be interesting to see what happens with the race for chief resident, because Perky! Sydney seems ready to step in if Bailey backs down.
Next week: A very special "Grey's." Until then, everyone remember not to pee in the Amazon!

text: The reasons I wouldn't pick up Harden because he would not be able to put a team on his back and carry them to the playoffs year in and year out. He can't win you a championship being "The Man." That's not opinion, if you watch him as much as you say you do, he just doesn't have that in him. He is not like Dwayne Wade, where he will simply put the whole team on his shoulders and go. We are going to have a team FULL of youth, and then James Harden. Harden will bust his *** (McGrady style) grow frustrated of being bad to mediocre and then force a trade (McGrady style) all over again. We have to wait for our young guys to develop and have a team before we bring in that max contract player. You bring in The Guy to complete the team, not start the team. You start the team around a guy, he will grow impatient. "Oh man, this is so cool...I'm the go to guy on this team. Put them on my shoulders, we will win!" That will turn into "****, this is getting old, I need help. I can't do this on my own. I want out of here." Hmm we've had that happen to us TWICE in a row with T-Mac and Howard. Yea, lets do it again!

About the Book
It is impossible to overstate the significance of St Petersburg in world history. As the erstwhile capital of all Russia, and the site of Tsar Alexander's assassination, it has risen and fallen in political favour over the centuries. Yet despite the tragedies to which it has played host, the Baroque heart of this august city beats with an unstoppable pride and dignity.
About the Creator

Nige Burton Hi Dave and thanks for the kind comments. I do use a tripod when absolutely necessary, but I'm a great believer in guerrilla travel photography as most of us don't have the time or budget for expensive shoots. It's something I teach in my Landscape Photography Courses. I'm afraid I can't take the credit for matching up the spreads - that's down to Blurb's fantastic software! St Petersburg is a truly amazing city; having travelled extensively throughout Russia and Siberia, it's still very much a favourite.
David Gross Great Pictures. Your double page pictures show great detail and really provide depth. Do you use a tripod so they match up so well? If not, what is your secret. Great book, you should be extremely proud. Can't wait to visit St. Petersburg.
Nige Burton Thanks for the comment. I'd love to see your book when it's done, so please let me know.
digiscrapper Beautiful book! I, too, am working on a book about St. Petersburg, but it will be St. Petersburg in the summer

93 F.3d 675
96 Cal. Daily Op. Serv. 6327, 96 Daily Journal
TRANSAMERICA LEASING, INC.; Triton Container International,
Ltd., Plaintiffs,
Elizabeth Robertson, Appellant,
COMPANIA ANONIMA VENEZOLANA DE NAVEGACION, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 95-15625.
United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Aug. 15, 1996.*
Decided Aug. 26, 1996.
Philip Isaac, Carlsmith, Ball, Wichman, Murray, Case, Mukai & Ichiki, Agana, Guam, for plaintiff Transamerica Leasing, Inc.
Elizabeth Robertson, Klemm, Blair, Sterling & Johnson, Agana, Guam, for plaintiff Triton Container International Limited.
William J. Blair, Klemm, Blair, Sterling & Johnson, Agana, Guam, for appellant Elizabeth Robertson.
Jean Melancon, McCully, Lannen, Beggs & Melancon, Maite, Guam, for the defendant-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Guam, John S. Unpingco, Chief District Judge, Presiding. D.C. Nos. CV-94-00055-JSU, CV-00063-JSU.
Before: SNEED, JOHN T. NOONAN, Jr. and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.
The district court ruled that in failing to cite an unpublished decision of the Ninth Circuit denying a petition for writ of mandamus in Triton's motion to the court to reconsider its transfer order Triton's counsel violated Rule 3.3(a)(3) of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 3.3(a)(3) prohibits an attorney from knowingly failing to disclose controlling authority directly adverse to the position advocated. The rule is an important one, especially in the district courts, where its faithful observance by attorneys assures that judges are not the victims of lawyers hiding the legal ball. However, the rule did not apply in this case.
The order of the Ninth Circuit denying the petition for writ of mandamus did not reach the merits of the transfer order; it merely held that petitioners had not demonstrated the case warranted an intervention of the court through the writ of mandamus. See Bauman v. United States District Court, 557 F.2d 650 (9th Cir.1977). Consequently, counsel did not knowingly fail to disclose to the district court controlling authority directly adverse to the position she advocated. Hatch v. Reliance Ins. Co., 758 F.2d 409, 413 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1021, 106 S.Ct. 571, 88 L.Ed.2d 555 (1985) is distinguishable; in Hatch this court reviewed and rejected the petition for writ of mandamus on the merits.
The district court's imposition of sanctions is therefore REVERSED.
The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Fed. R.App. P. 34(a) and Ninth Cir. R.34-4

Veteran Cruisers Beware - Overcrowded Monster - Don't Go: Caribbean Princess Cruise Review by LetGo
Overall Member Rating
Veteran Cruisers Beware - Overcrowded Monster - Don't Go
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
I just got in the door today (7/26/2009) from my 9 Night Caribbean Princess Cruise which left on (7/17/2009) from New York.
1. The Room: We had a $4300 mini suite. The bed was very hard. I took 3 nights of the room steward adding stuff under the sheets before it felt halfway okay. The room smelled like smoke. Because the 3100 passenger ship was overbooked with 3500 passengers, we could not change rooms. The room steward 'Dennis' was nice. Although he never created special towel animal on the bed or anything like typical cruise room stewards do. He cleaned the room. That's it. Nothing special. The room reminds you of a traditional old school hotel room. Nothing Special about it at all. They just added cheap shelf mounted flat screens TVs to help the appearance but it does not help the decor much. The Bath room was a good size for a cruise and it had a tub in it. The balconies on the ship are larger than I have seen on ship. The only problem is that there are two deck (8 & 9) where the balconies stick out from the ship like steps. This means the you look up and see everyone looking at you and you see them. So, no balcony privacy. Most ships the balconies are flush to the ship so have almost complete privacy unless a ship pulls up next to you!
2. The Ship: This ship in no way takes your breath away. It looks a little like it came out of the 'Love Boat' TV show. Nothing special. It has the most illogical design of any ship we have been on. Very Few Venues. Princess ships have a design concept where they break up the pool decks into three areas. This design is actually kind of bad. The Middle section has the Movie screen which is nice. But if they did not have the movie screen you would really be bored. The shows are just okay. They had only two theatrical performances (Musical Tribute, Caribbean theme), Magician (Adult oriented w/Comedy, a magician in a to to), Hypnotizer (okay), Two Comedians. Now, this was a 9 night cruise. You get more than this in a 5 night cruise. What they did was keep repeating the shows over and over and over. They had to do this because the venues/theaters are pretty small when you are carrying 3500 people. And there would be maybe only two major performances going on simultaneously. So people would be crowded around everywhere.
3. The Dining: More Crowds! The buffets had pretty good food. We had lobster or crab several times. I was surprised that there were lobster claws in the buffet on the first day of departure. Of Course they portioned them out to you. But I had my share since most people were unaware it was being served. The dining room food was good also. The service was really bad since there where so many people. So you would wait to be seated, and then wait to be served for each course of the meal. When it arrived it was usually good. The wait staff often time were rude or just non-attentive, we heard this from everyone we dined with. We had anytime seating so we met several new people each night. I believe since they have started charging you automatically for tips that service has gone down (freestyle cruising causes this also). In the buffet you will always find yourself looking around for a while for a seat.
Every Cruise I have been on host special nights on the pool deck. Usually there are several theme nights. Usually there is a Themed cuisine buffet style on the outside decks. In this 9 night cruise they only had ONE and all they served was FRUIT! Oh I'm sorry they did have a few fried appetizers. There was only ONE LINE and a serving area that was only 6 tables long for a ship that had 3500+ (700 kids) people on it! There was not one special midnight buffet evening! No special themes or waiter performances in the dining room. Wait...one night they did wear Italian sailor outfits. This was such an uneventful cruise it is crazy! But if you never cruised you would not know this.
Wait...let me tell you about the ICE CREAM....every cruise I have been own the have self serve ice cream machines placed around the pool decks or the buffet. NOT PRINCESS. When you get on the ship at the door they tell you that free ice cream is only available between 2-4pm. So, if you want unlimited ice cream you must purchase a $93.00 'Soda and Ice Cream' sticker. Okay...you buy this and the you find out that ice cream is only served until 6pm. Wait...and there is only one place to get Ice Cream. Wait...and there are only every 1 or 2 people working at the stand...for 3500+ people!!!! (700 kids). And they give you a mini-cone.
5. In the workout room they shut down the treadmills at 8pm because there are rooms under the gym and it disturbs the passengers. WHAT KIND OF SHIP DESIGN IS THIS!!!!
6. There is now separate Karaoke Place like Royal and Others...they just convert the main club into a Karaoke place for an hour then change the theme. The cruise director is able to Host every major event because only one thing good is going on at a time. You would think he was the STAR on board. Nice guy but man!
Look...I could go on and on. We made the best of it. We had fun meeting people and doing the thing we did. And just relaxing on deck mostly because the bed was hard. The best part of the cruise was the MOVIES under the stars and the
Food. 85% of the Passengers are from the New York, Boston, NJ, Penn. Areas. And maybe the staff has been beaten down by the strength of the New York style personalities. I don't know... but this is not a quality cruise. It's maybe a Cruise for beginners who don't know better.

This well-researched post (unsigned, sadly, but written by someone who actually owns a dictionary) is currently where not enough people will see it. So, I may as well put it here where no people will see it.
- More Gaider nonsense. "Canon" is generally understood to mean the official version of events; or as previously defined by Gaider, "Canon is something that we dictate regardless of choice. [1]" (6:44), or Canon means one version of events is the same for everyone.
- Since by definition (Gaider's and everyone else's), "canon" is something that cannot be changed by a player or playthrough, it makes no sense whatsoever to speak of ...the "canon" of [a player's] playthrough", or to say that "...some people have many "canon" saves, I imagine", as Gaider did elsewhere.
- Yet another new element of "canon" according to current Gaider dogma; book canon and game canon aren't the same. Indeed, book and game canon are not only different, but in fact have "no relation" to one another. ("The nature of a novel means it must establish its own canon, and the novel's canon has no relation to the game's canon (such as it is). If you wish, think of the novel as an alternate universe where things took a specific path with regards to Wynne or other events.")
- In case you find yourself asking which canon is canon, Gaider offers the different explanation of Alistair's story as involving alternate universes. More specifically, "all the versions of Alistair -- whether he died, ended up a drunk in Kirkwall, remained in the Grey Wardens, became the King of Ferelden and/or continued his romance with the Warden-- are equally "true". They all exist. That's part of the nature of a narrative that involves choices."
- Makes sense now, right? The true nature of player choice is you get to make your choice. Except in the publisher's 'non-official' version of events the player never had a choice because after all, this is a different universe.
- Hidden within this elaborate dance of changing canon definitions and alternate universes are the simple facts that; (i), the original Dragon Age:Origins team (which presumably included Gaider) made the specific decision that the player could choose different outcomes for Alistar; and (ii), now the current Dragon Age team has decided to reverse that decision, probably because of the great fan affection for Alistair. Why not just admit they're changing the DA:O player agency choices for Alistar?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/9/2011 (2168 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Today we arrived at ground zero hoping to obtain passes to get into the actual memorial. We were unsuccessful and, like hundreds of other firefighters there today, were turned away. While today was the memorial's first official day open to the public, the reservation system opened weeks ago and the free passes were sold out in seconds for day one.
Instead, we visited the museum right next door to Ten House on Liberty and Ground Zero called Tribute WTC Visitor Center, opened by a family survivors group. This amazing organization has artifacts and exhibits from the pile, as well as a gift and information center.
Our guided tour was provided by two 9-11 survivors.
Desiree Bouchat, a finance employee on the 101st floor of the south tower, started evacuating after confusion regarding reports of a small plane hitting the north tower -- many people in the south tower did not know the first tower had been hit. As Desiree exited to the elevated lobby, the second plane hit. Many of her co-workers perished.
Vic Guarnera was the security systems manager and a veteran employee at the World Trade Centre, there for both 9-11 and the 1993 bombing. Vic was on the 35th floor of the north tower when it was struck and made his way to the command post, where he started marshalling fire chiefs. As people were exiting the towers at the west entrance, several were killed by people jumping from the floors above, so Vic advised the FDNY Chiefs to move their evacuation corridor to the north.
When he went out to see how bad the debris was, it was raining fire from the jet fuel, and Vic found the helmet of Father Judge, the FDNY chaplain; the chaplain had been hit by a person who fell or jumped from the upper floors and is remembered as the first official casualty of the FDNY. As the south tower started to rumble to the ground, Vic headed north to escape the debris cloud.
In Vic's tour he explained some interesting events that saved lives on 9-11.
Normal population of the twin towers on a Tuesday at 8:46 am. is around 45,000 to 50,000, he said, but on Sept. 11, 2001, only about 15,000 to 18,000 people were in the buildings.
There are three reasons for this discrepancy and they all are partially responsible for the buildings being under populated that morning, Vic said:
- Sept. 11 was the first day of school in New York, where many parents take their kids to meet the teacher.
- It was also voting day to elect primary representatives for certain political parties. Under state law, employers must give one hour to workers to vote; most take the hour in the morning.
- The Denver Broncos played the Giants the previous night in Denver. The time zone difference kept New York football fans up into the morning as the game when into triple overtime.
All of these factors may have prevented thousands from arriving earlier in the day, subsequently saving their lives.

'The MoD would rather let Ben die than pay for him to recover'
This week Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson made headlines by carrying the Olympic flame, with the use of two prosthetic legs. He is a hero among soldiers and everyone else who watched him walk the 300 metres from Doncaster War Memorial. It took him 25 minutes because Ben is the most injured soldier ever to have survived.
Ben Parkinson's story should be a tragedy; a tale of irretrievable youth, unthinkable pain, grief-shattered parents and, at the end of it all either death or a life spent strapped to a wheelchair in a forgotten British Legion hospice. Ben's story is none of these things.
We're in the Doncaster home Ben shares with his mother, Diane Dernie, and stepfather, Andy. Ben is 27, good-looking, clean-shaven. He sits in…

The announcement of the Note 4 comes at a crucial time for Samsung. The South Korean company's smartphone sales are slipping, and so is its operating profit - despite the fact that its Galaxy S5 flagship is available all over the world since April. Following a strong start, Galaxy S5 sales slumped after only a few months. There's no denying that the S5 is one of this year's best smartphones (as our review of it concludes), but there are simply too many nice alternatives to it - not to mention all the affordable, yet powerful handsets from China.
While the S5 has many direct rivals, this can't be said about the Galaxy Note 3. There's no other extra-large smartphone (or phablet, if you will) that can offer the combination of high-end hardware and software features that the Note has. The S Pen stylus and Samsung's suite of specific apps for it make the device a unique one. We assume that everyone's expecting the Galaxy Note 4 to be better than the Note 3 - thus, once more, this has the potential of being a handset with no direct competitors. Reportedly, the Note 4 will feature a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 pixels, a 16 MP rear camera, 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon 805 (or Exynos 5 Octa) chipset.
Samsung shipped 10 million Galaxy Note 3 units in two months from launch, and continued to ship millions more since then (the 10 million milestone was achieved in December last year). Do you think the Galaxy Note 4 can be even more successful, thus helping Samsung to return to high profit margins? If that's the case, the Note 4 will be more important to Samsung than the S5, wouldn't it? Feel free to cast your votes in the poll below, or weigh in in the comments if you have answers that go beyond a simple yes or no.
- Can the Galaxy Note 4 be more important to Samsung than the S5?
- Yes 88% (3739 votes) (3739 votes)
- No 12% (510 votes) (510 votes)

As sea ice shrinks to record lows, Professor Wadhams warns a 'global disaster' is now unfolding in northern latitudes
"This collapse, I predicted would occur in 2015-16 at which time the summer Arctic (August to September) would become ice-free. The final collapse towards that state is now happening and will probably be complete by those dates".
Wadhams says the implications are "terrible".
"The positives are increased possibility of Arctic transport, increased access to Arctic offshore oil and gas resources.
The main negative is an acceleration of global warming."

Detective Constable Catherine Corbett, 39, remains in a critical condition after she was struck by a car when she tried to detain a fraud suspect near Heathrow airport last week. Last night Rashpal Singh, 41, was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent to endanger life.
The collision happened shortly after 8am on Friday outside the Sheraton Skyline hotel on the northern perimeter of the airport.
As the suspect left the car park driving a blue Peugeot he hit DC Corbett, leaving her with severe head injuries.
Two other male officers from West Midlands police sustained minor injuries in the crash after they were carried for a short distance on the bonnet of the car.
Mr Singh was also charged with two counts of actual bodily harm against the two male officers, Scotland Yard said.
DC Corbett, of Solihull in the Midlands, is under 24-hour medical supervision at the neurological unit of London's Charing Cross hospital.
A 32-year-old woman arrested in connection with the incident was last night released on bail to return to a west London police station at a future date. Mr Singh will appear at Hendon magistrates court, north-west London, today. DC Corbett was awarded a commendation in 1993 and had been in London for two days investigating the case before Friday's incident.

Jessie fulfills her promise to shave her hair off as part of her effort to raise fund for charity.
Jessie J made good on her promise to shave her hair off during BBC One's coverage of Red Nose Day on Friday, March 15. She once said that getting her hair shaved was the least thing she could do to raise fund for the charity.
At first, Jessie showed her completely shaved head, except for the bangs, to the camera. Later at the end of the program, she showed up on stage with her bald head. One of the hosts, Dermot O'Leary commented on her shaved head, "I really like it. You look like GI Jane." Jessie said that "it's the weirdest feeling" when Dermot stroked her head.
The singer proudly shared a photo of her now-bald head on Twitter. "I did it! Thank you to everyone who is donating! Please keep texting YES to 70010," Jessie tweeted. She wrote again, "I am soooo thankful to everyone who has donated @rednoseday and supported me tonight! My heart is filled with happiness! Lets make a change! X."
Simon Cowell also participated in the charity event. In a funny video campaign, he is seen getting married to a mystery woman. Simon wears a black suit and white shirt without a tie, while his bride is in white wedding dress with a thick veil covering her face. However, before the bride and the groom can say their "I do," British comedian David Walliams appears in white wedding dress to declare his objection.
"My Simon, I love you! It should be me and you getting married today! I love everything about you!" David says. He continues, "I love that your hair looks like a badger! hat your trousers come up to your armpits. I love that you wear pullovers too tight so that they show off your nipples! Let's run away somewhere!"
Red Nose Day is an annual tradition in U.K. launched by Comic Relief. The fund raised will be used to help people in need at home and in Africa. Other celebrities such as One Direction, Hugh Grant, Rowan Atkinson, and many others also participate in the charity.

Great product!I just bought this type of Pantene to try something new and wow! You can tell a difference the first time you use it. It adds texture and lift so after I blow dry it's full of volume.

Answering President Obama's national call to community service, two leading hotels in Washington, D.C., are running a fabulous promotion that combines service with saving money.
Beginning July 1 and running through Sept. 7, The Savoy Suites Hotel and its sister property, The Carlyle Suites Hotel, are offering their "Serve America & Stay in D.C." package, which gives you a 50% discount of your room bill per night (excluding taxes) for every 5 hours of community volunteer service completed with any legitimate community organization of your choosing OR the hotel can donate 50% of the room rate to a community service organization of your choosing.
The service must be performed within 90 days before arrival or 90 days after departure from the Savoy or Carlyle. "The hours of community service donated benefit the hometowns of each of our guests, and defray the cost of their vacation," Richard Spigler, president of The Carlyle & Savoy Suites Hotels, said in a statement. "We're hopeful that this program will give families who may not have been able to afford a vacation this summer, the opportunity to take an awesome trip to our nation's capital.
If you don't have the time to volunteer, you can have the Savoy or Carlyle donate 50% of your room bill to a community service organization of your choice. You will need to let the hotel know the name of the organization when you make your reservation or email in a My Choice for Service form no later than 72 hours prior to arrival. Donations will be made within 30 days after your departure and you will be notified by email.
There are certain restrictions, and you'll have to provide proof of your community service, so check their websites for details. This promotion is undoubtedly one of the most generous we have seen!

Canada has a large and swelling processed-food trade deficit despite decades of government efforts to make the sector an export powerhouse.
The deficit hit $6.3-billion in 2011, up more than six-fold from a $1-billion gap in 2004, as exports stalled and imports rose rapidly, according to a report being released Wednesday by the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI).
Before 2004, the deficit had held steady at roughly $1-billion a year for more than a decade.
"We need to better understand the implications of sustained and deepening trade deficits for the future competitiveness of the processed-food sector and the agri-food sector as a whole," CAPI president David McInnes said.
Canada enjoys large trade surpluses in agricultural commodity exports, such as wheat and canola.
The report identifies the high value of the Canadian dollar, which took off after 2000, as a major problem, but hardly the only reason for the worsening trade gap. It also suggests other possible explanations, including an "erosion of benefits" from free trade deals, over-reliance on foreign branch plants, falling capital investment and unspecified regulatory problems.
For example, the report points out that Canada has gradually lost its competitive advantage as the U.S. signed numerous other trade deals in the years after the 1988 Canada-U.S. free-trade agreement.
Canadian branch plants may also be losing product "mandates" to U.S. factories. And investment (as measured by capital stock) peaked in 2002 and has been declining ever since, implying "net disinvestment" by food processors in Canada, the report said.
But the report by CAPI – an independent federally funded think tank – does not specifically identify Canada's supply management system as a problem. The regime tightly regulates production of milk, eggs, cheese and poultry. Supply management restricts the availability of key food ingredients, and inflates prices. The system is also a source of constant friction with many of Canada's trading partners.
Mr. McInnes explained that the impact of supply management is implicitly covered in a paragraph on "policy and regulatory changes."
"The most difficult question is whether specific policy or regulatory changes have induced the changes in Canada's net trade in food and beverages," according to the report.
Among other key findings:
– Canada recorded a $1.3-billion processed-food trade deficit with its NAFTA partners in 2011, against a $2.2-billion surplus in 2004.
– Canada's deficit with the rest of the world was $5-billion in 2011, up from $3.2-billion in 2004.
– Canada exported $10.3-billion worth of processed foods in 2011, up from $2.1-billion in 1990. But imports rose much faster – to $16.6-billion in 2011 from $3.6-billion in 1990.
– The largest contributor to the food trade deficit is the beverage sector.Report Typo/Error

A steady stream of people wandered through the 15th annual North Metro Home and Garden Show Feb. 23.
Some were looking for ideas on how to spruce up their existing homes as they walked around the National Sports Center, while others were looking for ways to improve their landscaping.
The show, sponsored by cities of Blaine, Fridley and Mounds View as well as Renewal by Anderson, Trio Landscaping and Western Remodelers, offered nearly 402 booths to explore and eight seminars on landscaping, remodeling and decorating.
During the seminars, people learned about options to create a new-look kitchen, from resurfacing their cabinets to completely gutting the kitchen to create a new layout, from David Drenckpohl of Home Depot.
Drenckpohl gave attendees an idea of how long the projects could take, a few days to six to 11 weeks, and a general price, up to $4,285 to completely redo a kitchen.
Home Depot has three different ways to give kitchens a new look, from refacing the cabinets, the least expensive and least time commitment with a cost of about 5 cents a foot, to renewing existing wood cabinets, about 10 cents, Drenckpohl said.
"Refacing is really popular. The cost is in the middle and it gives them a new style cabinets and new style drawers," he said.
They get an upgraded kitchen at a faction of the cost, Drenckpohl said.
A lot of people redo their wood tone cabinets with white cabinets to lighten up their kitchens, he said.
Drenckpohl is also seeing a demand for bamboo.
Bamboo is one of the more popular materials because it is a renewable resource, he said.
Sherwin Williams Company gave people ideas on what they can do with colors.
The new colors this year, inspired by the fashion runways, include the dark and shadowy that recall the 1920s noir, the nature inspired tones of the honey vitality line, a soft look of vintage moxie that recalls the 1960s or the dangerous look of high voltage neons, said Jacob Babcock, Robbinsdale store manager.
Picking a color or two from the new color trends can add interest to the home, he said.
In the past it was about selecting colors that matched or coordinated, but this year the theme is finding contradictory colors, Babcock said,
"You want dramatic and contrasts, he said.
"There is no reason to live in a boring home."
Babcock also introduced faux impressions and showed how it is used to refresh damaged popcorn ceilings.
The trends for landscaping have remained the same, according to the landscapers of Gardens of Rice Creek, Minneapolis.
People still want outdoor doors with grills, fireplaces and lots of outdoor seating, said Wayne Liepke.
Water features are also a great way to draw people outside, said Jeff Chudek of Inspired Design Landscaping, Inc. of Columbia Heights.
While the brick patio is great, the water feature gives people a reason to go out and enjoy the patio, he said.
