Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/4/2013 (1596 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The budget is one of the most important things the province does each year. And yet, one wonders how many people are paying attention.
Voter turnout is down. Cynicism and apathy are way up. It may be easier for many people to tune out all talk of politics and governing than to keep track of the most recent developments.
Even so, on April 16 the government of Premier Greg Selinger will deliver a new budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year. It is a very important document, with real implications for core government services, civil-service employment and your wallet.
The basic facts are thus: Manitoba continues to struggle with a nagging deficit that last year totalled almost $540 million. The deficit is fuelled by slow economic growth, flagging revenues and increasing costs in core services such as health care, education, family services and justice.
Finance Minister Stan Struthers had projected that the deficit would go down last year; in fact, it went up by $107 million. These are tough times.
At the same time, the province is projected to spend tens of millions of dollars fighting spring floods. In 2011, floods cost the treasury nearly $500 million. Although the exact magnitude of this year's flood is not yet known, it is likely to be expensive, making deficit reduction in 2013-14 a tough act.
What else should you keep your eye on when the budget is tabled next week? Consider these five critical issues:
Revenues will no doubt be projected to grow in this upcoming fiscal year, but not by much. Slow economic growth -- now projected to be less than two per cent nationally -- will keep own-source revenues down. That will put pressure on the province to find relief on the expenditure side of the equation.
And what of federal transfers? The recent federal budget shows Manitoba will receive $3.363 billion this year in support for heath, post-secondary education and social services, along with equalization payments.
That's a lot of money, but the worrisome part is it's the same amount of money Manitoba received last year. Total transfer payments are essentially frozen at 2012-13 levels.
Last year, 24 per cent of Manitoba's total revenues came from Ottawa, which is in the middle of the pack nationally. Transfers cover 32 to 34 per cent of total revenue in Atlantic Canada but only nine per cent of revenue in Alberta and eight per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The biggest concern this year and for the future is that federal transfers in all areas continue to cover less and less of overall provincial costs. Whether it is Legal Aid, health care or social services, federal transfers simply haven't kept up with the increases in cost. That trend is expected to worsen in the next decade.
Spending has already slowed in Manitoba, but will it actually decline? Not many provinces have actually called for less spending than the previous year, but almost all of them have tried to slow the rate of growth in spending. That has still required significant spending cuts, including layoffs.
Last year, Manitoba found an estimated $128 million in savings through the reduction of regional health authorities, the merger of Manitoba Liquor and Manitoba Lotteries and other austerity measures. Critics are watching closely to see if Struthers lived up to those pledges. Sources confirmed the upcoming budget will contain similar savings going forward.
The real challenge is to avoid overspending. In the 2011-12 fiscal year, the province suffered $437 million in net flood costs, most of which were unavoidable. However, in this last year, it overspent in several budget lines to the tune of $120 million. With another spring flood coming, it will be difficult for Struthers to hold the line without some resolve on spending.
Across the country, governments are tinkering with taxes to boost revenues in a period of slow economic growth. In fact, many of the taxes that went down in the 2000s, when the economy ran hot and revenues were lush, are now creeping back up.
Most governments, including Manitoba, are increasing fees, surcharges and other soft revenue streams. Even Ottawa found extra revenue by boosting tariffs on import items.
However, many governments, including British Columbia and New Brunswick, are hiking major taxes, including personal and corporate income taxes. B.C. also significantly increased its monthly health-care premium.
Governments seem to be wagering the public in general, and special interests in particular, will tolerate some measure of tax increase to protect core government services without prolonging deficit financing.
In Manitoba, could major taxes go up? The province could use the additional revenue, but it would come with political risk. Even though taxes were not cut here as deeply as in other provinces, this is still a government that avoids any suggestion of raising taxes. The smart money says this trend should continue.
A motivating factor for Struther's resolve is that taxes here are, in general, higher than other jurisdictions. Direct comparisons of provincial taxes are difficult, as each province has radically different tax brackets. However, it is correct to say that Manitoba's taxes are, in most areas, at the high end.
Maybe because of that, Manitoba is expected to keep pledges for some modest tax cuts made in previous budgets.
Manitoba increased the Basic Personal Exemption (BPE) by $250 on Jan. 1 this year and will do the same Jan. 1, 2014. Over the past four years, bumps to the BPE have taken about 22,000 Manitobans off the tax rolls and cost the treasury about $77 million.
Manitoba will also bump the education property tax credit for seniors by $75, and increased benefits by lowering the income threshold to qualify to $32,500 from $40,000.
Collective bargaining agreements
Over the past three years, the province has benefitted from wage-freeze agreements with many of the largest collective bargaining groups. This includes the Government Employees Master Agreement (GEMA), doctors, nurses and employees of some Crown corporations. In the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, this saved the province more than $120 million. However, after two years of voluntary wage freezes, the province is scheduled to start paying wage increases in this fiscal year.
Doctors, who accepted a two-year freeze, are scheduled to see their fees go up by 6.4 per cent this year, and 4.2 per cent in 2014. The GEMA group, the largest of all bargaining units, sees a 2.75 per cent wage bump this year.
The province recently completed a deal with employees of Manitoba Public Insurance for a wage freeze this year and a 2.75 per cent increase next year.
This year, it's expected the province will ask 5,000 hospital support workers to do their part.
The official Opposition
The Opposition Progressive Conservatives see a big opportunity brewing for them as long as Struthers continues to struggle in eliminating the deficit.
The Tories are already seen by many as better at managing the economy. To date, however, voters have not taken out their concern about the sagging economy on the ruling NDP. That raises the question of whether there is political hay to be made out of this budget.
Pointed and intelligent commentary about the budget is always a valuable political asset. To date, however, there is no sign this PC party, under the direction of new leader Brian Pallister, has upped its game since last year.
Tory attacks on NDP fiscal policy and performance have been limited to hyperbole, and poorly constructed hyperbole at that. If the Tories are to weaken NDP support, particularly within the city of Winnipeg, they will have to come up with a dynamic new idea of their own that slays the deficit while protecting core services. So far, that idea has been elusive for the Opposition.

COLD WAR IN A TRASH BAG - Vol I
Anonymous b/w photographs from the Cold War Years in Vinnitsa/Ukraine
by Burkhard P. von Harder
About the Book
Book Review by artistic director Giorgio Giussani: "As an analog photographer, the idea of finding old negatives is always exciting, especially discovering what people wanted to capture with their film cameras at that moment in time. It is like opening a time capsule, exposing all these moments to new generations. I also visited Ukraine a couple of years ago and have been fascinated by the country. It's a great book to get to know how daily life looked like in the Ukraine more than two decades ago. All the pictures are capturing private moments of common people and this is what makes the book interesting. In a sort of "voyeuristic" way, you want to know more about these strangers who are immortalized now; getting transported to that time is inevitable and you suddenly become part of their story. You want to know what these people are doing today. Do they still have a copy of this photo? What would be their reaction in seeing now one of these pictures that they probably forgot about? I like the randomness of subject matter and totally love that some pictures show signs of passage of time, with negatives being damaged over the years and not having been stored properly. The best pictures are definitely the ones of broken and grungy negatives. Each picture is not only telling the story of a person or a place, it is also telling the story of the negatives themselves and their journey in a plastic bag. Definitely the strongest part is the creative vision of the author; without his patience in digitizing all the pictures, this book wouldn't have happened and all these pictures would still be unknown to most of us. I would definitely recommend this book to any photography enthusiast or anyone fascinated by the former USSR."

Human Rights Trust Fund
A precious resource to boost work for human rights throughout Europe
A few years ago, the Norwegian government launched a project to give support to Council of Europe member countries in carrying out the work needed to implement the judgments of the Court of Human Rights. The initiative came from a realisation that many member states faced difficulties in changing their law or national practices simply because of financial or structural obstacles, and that what was needed was a structure to help with capacity building and expert support.
The result was the Human Rights Trust Fund (HRTF), set up in March 2008 within the Council of Europe Development Bank. Its remit is to provide funding for states' efforts to meet their commitments under the European Convention on Human Rights and other Council of Europe human rights standards.
Five countries joined Norway in the fund: Germany and the Netherlands from the start, Finland, Switzerland, and recently the United Kingdom on the occasion of its Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers ; providing seed money to help in building human rights throughout Europe.
More than 6 million euros have been granted so far to finance activities in this respect.
In an interview, Matthew Johnson, former Ambassador, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the Council of Europe and Chairperson of the Assembly of Contributors of the HRTF speaks about the Fund's purpose and the innovative way it supports joint efforts to protect and promote human rights.
These activities aim, inter alia, at contributing to ensure that:
- effective remedies exist for everyone with an arguable complaint of violation of the Convention,
- there are domestic procedures complying with the Convention to conduct effective investigations and handle cases of serial violation of the Convention,
- effective mechanisms exist for verifying the compatibility of draft legislation and administrative practice with the Convention,
- adequate organisation, operation and infrastructure of administrative and judicial public service exist.
Through these activities, the HRTF essentially seeks to strengthen the sustainability of the Court by contributing to the full and timely execution of its judgements and alleviating therefore its important workload by reducing the number of cases brought before it.
Amongst the activities approved by the Assembly of the HRTF:
- putting in place effective norms and procedures for a better enforcement of national court decisions ;
- providing magistrates and lawyers with high-quality training in Convention law and contributing to the dissemination of the Court's case-law and to its effective accessibility for legal professionals ;
- assisting Bar Associations, individual lawyers specialised in human rights and legal clinics in providing all necessary information to potential applicants before the European Court of Human Rights ;
- commissioning translations of key case-law of the European Court of Human Rights into relevant languages and ensuring dissemination of such case-law to legal professionals ;
- providing support to execute the European Court's judgments in the field of freedom of expression and the media by raising awareness of judges and prosecutors on the Court's case-law;
- supporting the newly established National Preventive Mechanisms to effectively prevent ill-treatment and torture from occurring in all types of places where human beings are or could be deprived of their liberty.
"The Human Rights Trust Fund is a unique and effective instrument to support the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights within the Member States of the Council of Europe. It aims, in particular, at strengthening the sustainability of the European Court of Human Rights. Six countries contribute to the Fund: Norway, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands and, since 2012, the UK too. We hope others will join us as there is plenty to do to maintain and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms on our continent."
Ellen Berends, Chairperson of the Governing Body of the HRTF, Permanent Representative of the Netherlands to the Council of Europe
"Instruments such as the Human Rights Trust Fund are invaluable in order to help translate our human rights standards into practice. This Fund is an example of good financial practice, encouraging Member States to better participate in promoting the principles and values of the Council of Europe. Through this financial tool, the Council of Europe and the CEB can widen and enhance the impact of their action in this field and contribute to the efforts of Member States in complying with their obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and other human rights instruments of the Council of Europe."
Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe
"The participation of the CEB to the Human Rights Trust Fund is a clear sign of its strong attachment to the values promoted by the Council of Europe and particularly of its support for the European system of human rights protection. CEB's social mandate is intrisically linked to these values."
Rolf Wenzel Governor of the CEB
- "Removing the obstacles to the non-enforcement of domestic court judgments; ensuring an effective implementation of domestic court judgments"
- "Support towards the implementation of judgments of the ECtHR concerning action of security forces in Chechnya (Russian Federation)"
- "Support to the work of the Commissioner for Human Rights in areas affected by the South Ossetia conflict"

Thomas' 47 helps Buchholz girls move on
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
VIERA — Buchholz High School girls basketball coach Rebecca Williams told her players before Saturday night's Class 7A regional final that no matter what happened against the Viera Hawks, they had to fight to the end.
And because they did, the Bobcats are going back to the state semifinals.
Jessica Thomas scored 47 points, and hit three free throws with 2.1 seconds left to send the game into overtime as Buchholz rallied from three points down in the closing seconds of regulation to beat Viera 84-79.
Buchholz (26-4) will face Tampa Freedom in the state semifinals. Freedom knocked off defending state champion Sebastian River 74-73 Saturday night.
Trailing 75-72 with 5.6 seconds remaining in regulation, Buchholz looked to be in danger with Viera inbounding the ball.
However, the Hawks turned the ball over, giving the Bobcats the ball with 5.2 seconds remaining.
Thomas, who hit seven 3-pointers on the night — including three in a row to start the fourth quarter — was fouled by Viera's top player, Dee Anderson, with 2.1 seconds left. It was Anderson's fifth foul, and Thomas hit all three free throws to tie the game.
Buchholz then outscored the Hawks 9-4 in overtime.
The Bobcats got some clutch play from their freshman trio. Keona Thompson had 11 points and six rebounds. Chelsea Clark had several big steals. And Anya Noble played well down the stretch.
"My freshmen played so big," Williams said. "Chelsea Clark and Anya Noble, she stepped up for us big time. I always tell them, 'We can't just leave it all on Jessica.' Everybody's got to do their part, and tonight, I think everybody did."

What's new? Fund manager Magellan Financial has left peers in its dust this year, with many hoping just to see the treads of their limited-edition sneakers as they streak ahead.
The team at Magellan continues to post an impressive track record over the key one-, three- and five-year periods, and are well ahead of the game in terms of benchmark returns. This outperformance has been a key driver of precious inflows and fees during the past year.
The key Magellan Global Fund, for example, has returned 23.49 per cent over the past year, 11.09 per cent a year over the past three years and 6.13 per cent over the past five years. This equated to juicy outperformance of 11.51 per cent, 8.04 per cent and 11.15 per cent a year over the same periods to the benchmark index.
While many peers have struggled to grow funds under management (FUM) this year, Magellan has attracted inflows across the board.
At the end of October, the company had about $4.8 billion under management, a 20 per cent increase in total FUM since just June 30.
The retail side has been particularly stellar, with $169.5 million coming through Magellan's doors in October alone. Funds here have leapt by more than 30 per cent in the past four months.
Outlook Despite the rapid growth in funds under management during the past year, there still seems to be more for the taking.
The fact Magellan remains ''relatively'' unknown increases upside potential. Although assets under management have grown rapidly, these remain a veritable drop in the bucket versus the better-known titans of the fund-management sandbox.
And higher fund flows will increase profitability for the fund manager, as it has a relatively low cost base and a good deal of ''operating leverage''.
Costs as a percentage of income are now about 50 per cent and this should come down in the months and years ahead.
Price Magellan's stock price has pushed to new highs in the past year as consistently impressive investment returns have elevated it to one of the go-to boutique-funds management businesses. Its shares are up 215 per cent this calendar year.
Worth buying? A fund manager is only as good as their investment performance, and the old caveat of past performance being no guide to future returns must be heeded. But portfolio managers at Magellan have delivered consistently good returns for investors over the years.
While the stock commands something of a premium valuation, its portfolio outperformance and ability to attract inflows suggests this is appropriate.

Salt River Project (SRP) is giving away a half-dozen compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) at no cost to customers to help them start the year saving energy and money.
To participate, SRP customers need to go to savewithsrp.com and complete an online form. SRP will then mail customers two A-shaped, two globe and two T2, or "spiral" bulbs at no charge. Supplies are limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis. Delivery will take up to 8 weeks.
ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use up to 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. Customers can save energy immediately by installing the free CFLs in lamps and fixtures they use most. The living room, bedrooms, ceiling fans and bathrooms are ideal spots to start. Lighting accounts for about 10 percent of energy use in Valley homes, and CFLs save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb's lifetime.
In addition to the giveaway, SRP offers customers discounted prices for energy-efficient lighting at retailers throughout the Valley. Visit savewithsrp.com to find participating retailers, or when shopping for lighting, look for SRP signage that indicates an immediate discount.
According to ENERGY STAR, if every home in America replaced one incandescent light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified CFL, in one year, enough energy would be saved to light more than 3 million homes.

Shands chosen to operate Ocala's Munroe Regional
Published: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
UF&Shands will extend its reach in Marion County as a partner to Health Management Associates after trustees of Munroe Regional Medical Center in Ocala voted to have Shands run the hospital.
Munroe Regional's Strategic Options Work Group chose Shands/Health Management Associates to operate the 421-bed hospital after an 18-month search.
HMA was chosen in part because it made the largest financial offer, at $214.2 million, about $31 million higher than that of competitor Duke LifePoint Healthcare. HMA/Shands would run the hospital for the next 40 years.
According to Dr. David Guzick, president of the UF&Shands Health System and senior vice president for health affairs, Shands running Munroe does not signify a big change for Shands' clinical practice.
"We currently have 3,000 admissions from Marion, and half are on Medicaid or uninsured. This far exceeds the number of Medicaid patients at Munroe," Guzick said. "So we are already seeing an excess share of indigent patients. The relationship with HMA ensures that continues."
Guzick added that Shands would apply the same model that it currently uses with the other 22 hospitals in Florida that HMA runs: Shands essentially has joint protocols with these hospitals to provide expert care for complicated conditions such as stroke or cardiovascular disease.
Shands has partnered with HMA since 2010, when HMA bought Shands' three rural hospitals in Live Oak, Starke and Lake Shore.
Guzick said that Shands "helps (HMA) as much as we can to manage patients in communities. ... That's the model we would apply with Munroe."
"We've forged excellent relationships with rank-and-file physicians there and do physician consultations already," he continued, adding that Shands has only a secondary role in the partnership.
"It isn't about the Shands brand; it's really about growing the Munroe brand," Guzick said, adding that HMA's main interest is serving the Ocala community — which is bound to build some local competition, with Ocala Regional Hospital across the street from Munroe.
Munroe is owned by the Marion County Hospital District and overseen by seven Marion County Commission-appointed trustees. A ballot measure on property tax support failed in November, leading Munroe to decide to lease the hospital to keep it competitive.
At the meeting Thursday, which was held in the auxiliary room of Munroe Regional, Shands CEO Tim Goldfarb also committed Shands to up to a 20 percent stake in the purchase of Munroe.

Learning Where Food Comes From
The Made in Manitoba Breakfast program is organized by Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) – Manitoba, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization that works to connect Canadian teachers and students to agriculture.
The program travels across Manitoba feeding students full, hot breakfasts made with products from Manitoba farmers. Before each breakfast, the students take part in an education program that helps them explore the agriculture industry and learn where their food comes from.

Bachelor's thesis: Audio toolkit for displaying spectrogram in real time in the open-source system Sphinx-4
Usually, the time-frequency analysis of audio signals is performed later, on allready saved and sometime processed sound. In the thesis, I've focused on the fly conversion of signals in the time-frequency space, which is allowing a real-time analysis of audio signals.
With mentor we have set the hypothesis, that is, can we build a toolkit for displaying spectrogram in real-time with Sphinx-4. The main goal was to build a toolkit for real-time audio signal visualization.
The work is splitted in three parts: theoretical definition of processes, practical work with Sphinx-4 system and measurements of final product (iSound).
In theoretical part I have described all of the processes which was used during an audio signal analysis. Processes were classified in the following order: data sampling, pre-emphasis (optional), windowing, Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) and fourier transformation with proceeding of Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT).
Working with Sphinx-4 libraryes was hardest part of the work, mostly because I have never worked with Java on some serious projects, which include graphics and audio at the same time. There were also some problems with accumulation of computed data which have been solved with thread synchronization. Additionaly, I have included a few features into basic spectrogram drawing, which made the application more useful. That features are: picture freezing, displaying of frequency, resizing, changing color schemes and opacity.
During the analysis I compared iSound with program AudioTool from Sphinx-4 package. The goal was to expose the differences and resemblances of real-time and after processing audio visualization. I've done additional tests in which iSound was compared with some other programs with similar functioning. All tests were made on the same computer under the same conditions. The iSound performance was: 12%-17% uses of CPU, 62MB of memory (RAM) and it was running 27-31 threads (you can find full test results in diploma on page 40). From test results we conclude that the iSound is completely comparable with similar programs. Because of wish to have a pure results I have commented code, which was drawing spectrogram, and after that, iSound spent only 0,12%-0,3% of CPU for pure signal processing.

Fly Fish Texas Draws Crowd to Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center
ATHENS, Texas—With hundreds of fly-fish enthusiasts filling the air with lines and lures March 5 as they cast for rainbow trout, one had to walk carefully around the grounds of the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center.
While fishing occupied many people, hands-on learning and informal education about subjects as varied as the importance of water quality and tying knots caught the attention of others.
Would-be fly fishers learning how to "match the hatch" by scooping tiny insect larvae from streams and identifying them buzzed about. Experts from Arkansas, Colorado and Texas whetted appetites for fishing with seminars about where and how to fool fish with flies. Fly tyers guided novices through the intricacies of creating insect look-alikes from feathers, foam and thread. And for those who'd rather eat than fish, food vendors and demonstrators turned out hundreds of tacos, catfish dinners and Dutch oven fruit cobblers.
An estimated 1,250 people attended the event held under the auspices of Fly Fish Texas, an organization dedicated to increasing participation in fly fishing. Information and photos of past events, as well as upcoming events can be found on their Web site at www.flyfishtexas.org.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The state attorney's office has added more charges against the man accused of killing the wife of a Jacksonville firefighter.
Lance Kirkpatrick, 31, is now charged with armed robbery and sexual battery. Kirkpatrick is accused of stabbing and beating 38-year-old Kim Dorsey to death.
Kirkpatrick, who used to live with Dorsey and her husband, was arrested days later.
Investigators said he went back to the home to pick up some of his belongings, and an altercation ensued, leading to Dorsey's death.
Kirkpatrick is being held in the Duval County jail without bail. He has entered a not guilty plea. At a hearing Thursday, his case was passed until Jan. 7.

I like it better this time. About being a sub-dialect of English -- in my book, you can't have a sub-dialect of a language, you can only have a sub-dialect of a dialect (of a language). Other than that, having it be a sub-dialect of English is just fine and Linguoboy will probably be happier now.

Creative England backs Finlay's new music documentary
Creative England is backing Jeanie Finlay's next Orion: The Man Who Would Be King.
The feature documentary is about Jimmy Ellis, a singer who was plucked from obscurity in 1978, given a fictional identity, signed to Sun Records and thrust into the spotlight as part of a crazy scheme that had him masquerade as Elvis back from the grave.
Ellis had a voice that was described as "a dead-ringer for Presley's" and wore a trademark mask when performing. After he had a meltdown and ripped off the mask live on-stage, he spent the rest of his career in obscurity before dying in a tragic killing.
Finlay has been working on the film since 2009 and with the backing she will be shooting more footage in Norway at the end of the month and will then be editing from February. During the past three years, Finlay has been doing archival research and interviewing key figures from Ellis' life. The film will also include performances and interviews with Ellis from all stages of his career.
For full production details visit
Orion will be the second co-production between Finlay's indie Glimmer Films and Al Morrow at Met Film, with their third co-production Pantomime releasing Christmas 2013.
Finlay said: "I bought an Orion LP ten years ago at a car-boot sale. Enticed by the mysterious masked man on the cover I immediately wanted to peek underneath and discover more about the man behind the mask. When I heard his voice and uncovered his story I felt haunted and compelled to tell his Faustian quest for fame and his tragic demise."
Anna Seifert Speck of Creative England added, "Orion is a compelling story with true cinematic potential. We are excited to be backing the project and excited to see how Jeanie will realise this unique story"
Al Morrow, producer, added "Met Film Production is thrilled to be working once again with director Jeanie Finlay and Glimmer Films on her new film Orion. An award winning director, Jeanie is a uniquely brilliant story-teller who puts her characters at the heart of all her films. As with The Great Hip Hop Hoax, she has found another extraordinary protagonist in Jimmy Ellis aka Orion – the man who would be king."
Finlay, a former Screen International Star of Tomorrow who has credits including Sound It Out and Goth Cruise, is now finishing The Great Hip Hop Hoax, which will launch this year both theatrically and on the BBC's Storyville strand. That project is about Silibil n' Brains, Scottish students who masqueraded as an American hip-hop duo.
Readers' comments (10)
Jimmy Orion Ellis is a complete joke and an embarrassment to all Elvis fans worldwide. The demographic of all Orion fans are semi-retarded and live in trailer parks..and not to mention their IQ's are less than 3.
I think you have to wait to see Finlay's movie. She did great work with Sound It Out. She's also figured out innovative ways for financing as can be read here... http://www.musicfilmweb.com/2013/01/orion-elvis-jeanie-finlay-music-documentary/
It sounds a fascinating story - I'd definitely go to see that. And I don't live in a trailer park.
The Masked Onion is nothing more than a no-talent masked clown. The only ones that fall for this so called Elvis wannabe are uneducated fools that live off of government assistance...and dance around in big bird outfits claiming to be the Onion King !
I agree. Mr. Onions is just another Elvis Tribute Artist that I really don't care for. He sounds like crap.
Does Anonymous really think that we should only make films about music he or she likes? Sounds like a pretty limiting model. Orion is a story of fandom and of musicians and how far they will go to claim fame, even if they have to do it in the guise of another. It is the American dream Baby!
he definetly deserves a film.....and anonymous doesn't have a clue as to what they r talking about.....Jimmy deserved so much more than what he got
Jimmy Elis we love you, well better the elvis when is the film coming out? all you haters can bow down and kiss the jimmy ellis ring ha
Anonymous, then don't visit @ElvisAndOrion as it might tip you over the edge.

Health Flexible Spending Accounts
An employer-offered health flexible spending account (FSA) can provide you with a tax-favored way to pay for your qualified medical expenses. You can make contributions to the health FSA that reduce your federal taxable wages, and the health FSA can reimburse you tax free for qualified medical expenses.
Health FSA basics
At the beginning of each plan year, you elect the amount (if any) of your wages that will be contributed to a health FSA during the year. The plan must specify a maximum dollar amount or maximum percentage of compensation that can be contributed to your health FSA. You might base your election on prior experience, as well as expectations for the upcoming year. Your employer will then withhold a proportionate part of those contributions from each paycheck. The salary reduction contributions reduce your federal taxable wages. (In some plans, your employer may also make nontaxable contributions on your behalf to the plan.)
When you incur qualified medical expenses during the year, you (or the service provider) submit those expenses to the health FSA. The expenses cannot be paid for or reimbursed under any other plan. Certain written documentation may be required. The health FSA reimburses you (or the service provider) for those expenses, up to the amount that you elected to contribute to the health FSA for the year. You receive the reimbursements tax free. You cannot claim an income tax itemized deduction for medical expenses that are reimbursed to you by the health FSA.
Special rules may apply to highly compensated participants and key employees.
Use-it-or-lose-it rule
Health FSAs are "use-it-or-lose-it" plans. Amounts in the account that remain at the end of the plan year cannot be carried over to the next year; they are paid to the employer and cannot be refunded to you. However, the health FSA can provide a grace period of up to 2½ months after the end of the plan year. For a plan using a calendar year, a grace period until March 15 of the following year might be used. Expenses incurred during the grace period can be paid from amounts remaining in the health FSA at the end of the previous plan year. Know when your plan year ends and whether you have a grace period. If you have money left in your health FSA at the end of your plan year and you have a grace period, look for ways to use up the money during the grace period (for example, by purchasing glasses or contacts, stocking up on prescription drugs, or having dental work done--whatever can be reimbursed by your health FSA).
One-time HSA distributions
If you were covered by a health FSA on September 21, 2006, you may have until the end of 2011 to take a onetime distribution from your health FSA that is transferred directly to your health savings account (HSA) as a qualified HSA distribution. A qualified HSA distribution is treated as a nontaxable rollover from the FSA to the HSA. Various conditions must be met to make a qualified HSA distribution. Consult a financial professional familiar with FSAs and HSAs.
Recent changes
- Coverage expanded for children under age 27. A health FSA can generally reimburse you for qualified medical expenses incurred by you, your spouse, and your dependents. Effective March 30, 2010, qualified medical expenses that can be reimbursed by a health FSA were expanded to include expenses incurred by any child of yours who is under age 27 at the end of your tax year. Prior to March 30, 2010, reimbursement by a health FSA for expenses of a child was generally limited to a child under age 19 (or under age 24 for a full-time student). Such expanded coverage is available only if your employer amends the plan documents to provide it to you.
- Prescriptions needed for over-the-counter medicine reimbursement. As of 2011, you will generally need a prescription if you wish to be reimbursed by a health FSA for the cost of over-the-counter medicines. From about 2003 through 2010, a health FSA could reimburse you for over-the-counter medicines without the need for a prescription. The change makes the health FSA definition of medicine or drugs the same as the definition you would use if you were itemizing the deduction for medical expenses for federal income tax purposes: a prescribed drug or insulin.
- New dollar limit for health FSAs in cafeteria plans. Starting in 2013, there will be a new annual $2,500 limit for salary reduction contributions that you can make to a health FSA that is part of a cafeteria plan. If your employer wishes, the cafeteria plan can impose a lower dollar limit. The $2,500 amount will be indexed for inflation starting in 2014. Prior to 2013, there is no statutory limit. The new $2,500 limit does not apply to a stand-alone health FSA.

CHP: Vehicle thefts on the rise in unincorporated areas of Humboldt County
HUMBOLDT COUNTY- Local authorities are reporting a spike in vehicle thefts in the unincorporated areas of Humboldt County.
According to the California Highway Patrol, four cars were reported stolen from McKinleyville just between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. All of them are Hondas.
CHP officials say this time of year, there is usually an increase in the number of vehicle thefts.
"Residents are typically going out and warming up their vehicles more often because they want to get in a warm vehicle, and so that's when the thieve comes in and steals the vehicle," said Officer Matt Harvey, the Public Information Officer for the CHP Arcata Office.
But in the unincorporated areas of Humboldt County, the increase has been over the last two years. In 2013, 163 vehicles were stolen. The year before, 131 cars were stolen. So far, in 2014, 36 vehicles have been stolen. Now, the CHP is increasing its presence in these areas in response to this recent spike.
"We believe that some thieves may be casing houses in some residential areas, watching patterns of homeowners and drivers and then coming back later to steal the vehicle," said Officer Harvey.
Patterns such as where people hide their spare keys outside or when people warm up their cars. CHP officials say the most commonly stolen vehicles are older Hondas and Toyotas, because of their high resale value and the interchangeability of their parts.
"Any vehicle that has a lose ignition switch or is getting worn out, replace that because these are able to duplicate other keys that will work in that ignition," Officer Harvey said.
They also say to get an alarm system for your car, not to hide a spare key outside, never warm up your car while leaving it unattended, and make sure your valuables are hidden from view in your vehicle.
"CHP officials also remind you to make sure that all valuable items are hidden from view,"
And to be on the lookout for suspicious activity in your neighborhood, including unknown people or vehicles being in an area for an extended amount of time.
CHP officials say if you would like to request extra patrols in an area to call them at 822-5981.

Near and far, the force of opera is global. Here is the next instalment in our blog series which explores the moments when normal people became opera lovers.
It was 1951 and I was 18 years old. As part of the Festival of Britain celebrations, Kirsten Flagstad sang Isolde in Liverpool. It was only two performances and I booked tickets for both. What I did not know was that these were to be her final two performances of that role. I can still hardly believe my good fortune.
Above: a recording of Kirsten Flagstad singing "Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde in a 1936 performance at Covent Garden with the London Philharmonic Orchestra led by Fritz Reiner.
Julie Fisher
It was 1967 and I was a 19 year-old university student in Paris for the summer, feeling like I was discovering the world for the first time. Don Carlos was playing at the Palais Garnier and I bought the cheapest ticket for a seat up in the rafters. Walking into that beautiful building took my breath away, but not nearly as much as Nicolai Ghiaurov in the role of Philip. At the end of the performance, I walked home in a state of ecstasy. A few months later, back home in Montreal, my dad managed to get me a ticket to Nabucco, again with Ghiaurov. More magic! Since that summer, I have been to many wonderful performances in various opera houses around the world, but nothing has equaled that night in Paris. To this day, Don Carlos remains my favourite opera and listening to Ghiaurov still excites me beyond measure.
Above: a recording of Nicolai Ghiaurov and Plácido Domingo in a 1983 production of Verdi's Don Carlos by The Metropolitan Opera.
As I grew up with parents who loved opera, answering the question about an opera that changed my life is a bit of a challenge, as I would say opera as an art form itself has changed my life. I cannot remember a time when we didn't listen to the CBC opera broadcasts on Saturdays and most of my parent's record collection were operas. The television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood had a regular guest opera singer that also captured my imagination.
The first opera that I saw live was a production of the Tales of Hoffmann in 1971. We drove from Fredericton to see it in Saint John, New Brunswick. I was seven years old and the theatrical effects were like magic. The image of the portrait of Antonia's mother coming to life and singing is something that I will never forget. I was so enthralled that I insisted on sitting on my mother's lap for the last act because I did not want to fall asleep.
One of my other favourite opera memories was seeing a production of Rigoletto at the ancient arena in Verona, Italy in July of 1981. The historic setting, a full moon, live dogs, the audience holding birthday candles to celebrate Verdi, Sherrill Milnes singing live and not just on a record, all contributed to my lifelong love of opera. As a result I have been going to the COC ever since I moved to Toronto.

Being a true opera lover is a commitment, however, once you catch the bug, resistance is futile. Here is the latest edition to our blog series which explores life-changing moments when opera lovers were born.
Pietro Antoni De Vita
Visiting the Lyric Opera of Chicago when just a kid of 20 (my first solo trip anywhere), I was as excited as can be over the prospect of seeing and hearing my first Faust with none other than three of the greatest singers of the time: Mirella Freni, Alfredo Kraus, and Nicolai Ghiaurov. Knowing the score well, I was in utter anticipation of what was to come and could barely contain myself. I literally was a bundle of nerves as if I were the one to be performing. With the rise of the baton, one of the greatest operatic evenings of my life unfolded—all three major singers in splendid voice. The production was a gorgeous, rich, traditional staging of those beloved years. I was in rapture as we approached the first break (a very long two hours.) I thought I would literally melt away as Faust and Marguérite began their rapturous hymn of love. It was all ethereal, like an out of body experience. Nothing disappointed me as I awaited the final trio which sent me over the top. And, one of the most gratifying gifts of the evening was the meeting of Mirella, Alfredo, and Nikolai. Mirella and I formed a connection which lasted well past her performances of Fedora at the Metropolitan Opera and [Washington] DC Opera, where I had a private audience with her not too long before she retired. Those, indeed, were the days!

I saw my first opera in December, 1969 and it was at the Palais Garnier—the old opera house in Paris. I hated it. I thought it was clumsily staged and just too melodramatic for my taste. As a young man classical music was my music of choice, but I felt opera was not for me. I was on a winter-time trip to Europe and the woman I was traveling with was a pianist and an opera lover, so I was going along happily. After all, it was Paris, then Milan, Munich, Vienna and Budapest. So I felt I would just have to put up with opera even if I didn't care for it. Well, the next one was at La Scala—Don Carlo, with [Claudio] Abbado conducting, [Nicolai] Ghiaurov as Philip, [Rita Orlandi] Malaspina as Elisabeth, [Sherley] Verrett as Eboli, [Martti] Talvela as the Inquisitor, [Piero] Cappuccilli as Posa, and [Plácido] Domingo as Carlo. It knocked my socks off. I was completely enthralled.
Then it was [Birgit] Nilsson as Turandot in Munich, Lisa Della Casa in Arabella, Erich Kunz as Papageno in Vienna, Gundula Janowitz, Walter Berry and James King in Fidelio in Vienna. There were a few clunkers along the way: a really boring Macbeth, a less than awesome [Die Walküre] in Budapest. But I was hooked. Other trips to Europe, some great productions, some not so much.
Coming to Canada I was lucky enough to have the type of career enabling me to be involved with opera. Here in Canada and in the United States, I have had the opportunity to experience the wonderful, risky world of opera and to see and hear some truly memorable productions. That first trip, and that encounter with that cast of Don Carlo, was instrumental in installing a love for and commitment to opera.

A new production of this uniquely Canadian contribution to the opera world is being conceived by one of Canadian theatre's most acclaimed and inventive directors, Peter Hinton, with the COC's celebrated music director, Johannes Debus, conducting. This production of Louis Riel is presented by the COC and its co-producer, National Arts Centre (NAC), in anticipation of Canada's sesquicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the opera's premiere. Louis Riel is sung in English, French, Michif and Cree with English, French, Michif and Cree SURTITLESTM.
Telling the history of Louis Riel is ever more important in this period of Truth and Reconciliation. It is the COC's intention that an inclusive and expansive history shall be restored with the 2017 production. Throughout the conceptualization of the 2017 production of Louis Riel and in preparation for the rehearsal period, Hinton and his creative team have followed the guidance and wisdom of members of the Indigenous community.
"What struck me from the very beginning about this piece is the motivation for its creation. It is a contentious and provocative 'celebratory' work," says Louis Riel director Peter Hinton. "When composer Harry Somers and librettist Mavor Moore were commissioned in 1966 by the Floyd S. Chalmers Foundation to write an opera to commemorate the centennial of Canada, Somers and Moore chose the subject of Louis Riel. Their choice to show Canada's history of struggle and representation in the west, against colonialist and centralist objectives, is not only a metaphor for the conflicts which forged the idea of confederation, but also serves as a challenge for present and future understandings of our country."
"We asked Peter Hinton to direct this production of Louis Riel because of his long-standing relationship and involvement with Indigenous artists and his knowledge and experience in mounting a theatrical project of this scale," says COC General Director Alexander Neef. "His involvement brings an informed and culturally sensitive approach to the interpretation of Louis Riel that we are sharing on the stage."
In 1967, Louis Riel was the first opera written by a Canadian to be presented by the COC, and the COC is the only professional opera company to date to have ever performed it. For more information and to purchase tickets, please click here.

• pomace •
Pronunciation: pê-mês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: The residue of fruit, nuts, fish, or anything else after the liquid has been squeezed out of it.
Notes: Does this word sound a lot like pumice to you? We hope you did not confuse the two in your holiday food preparation. Although pomace is high in fiber, it is used mostly in pet and livestock feeds. These two words are pronounced identically by sheer chance (see Word History). This good word is a lexical orphan, all alone in the world—without even a plural.
In Play: We try to run this word during the holiday season because it offers so many opportunities for its use. I'm not referring to the insignificant discussions of what to do with the orange pomace after squeezing out orange juice or the apple pomace remaining after pressing the cider: "After shopping all weekend I feel like a bag of human pomace!" And once the kids got all the gifts out of the wrapping paper, what will the living room look like—right! Gift pomace. Give this Good Word a good workout whenever you encounter a left-over mess.
Word History: This very Good Word was pomis in Middle English (until Shakespeare's time), having been slipped away from Medieval Latin pomacium "cider", a word based on Vulgar (street) Latin poma "apple, fruit". That is the same root we find in French pomme "apple", pomme-de-terre "ground apple = potato", and pomegranate the "apple" with seeds. Pumice came from Anglo-Norman pomis, a descendant of Latin pumex "foam, pumice". This word is a cousin of Sanskrit phena and Russian pena "foam" and, probably, English foam.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee discussion → Thread
I have just had the most amazing experience with an Early Bumblebee. He flew all around me and i could feel the wind from his wings on my hand as he circled it. He landed briefly a few times then continued to circle it for a few minutes.
He finally landed on my hand and i brought out the sugar solution in a keyboard key that i use to help struggling bees, he drank loads from it and then flew around me for a while, at one point almost landing on my nose, as if to say thank you! Then he flew away. This happened yesterday lunchtime.
He came back 3 further times yesterday. Then last night he came back, sat on my hand and settled down to sleep snuggling into the gap between my fingers! I walked around the garden for about 10 minutes with him on my hand. He didn't want to go. So i brought him in for the night and put him in my bee hotel, i use it to keep the bees in the kitchen overnight if the weather is bad.
He slept/rested in there and was released this morning at 7am. He returned at 12.30pm for his drink, again landing on my hand to feed and has just returned again for another drink This time i got a video of him arriving, feeding and leaving but there is no provision on here to add short video's, so i can't share it with you. It's a shame because this little guy is amazing. I am so lucky and very happy
Aw….how lovely.
I often have bees land on me in the garden. I feel honoured and it makes feel me all warm and fuzzy they really are very sweet.
Thanks Cheery, it is amazing
My little friend has been back several times each day since i first posted about him!!
This is truly amazing. Has anyone else had a similar experience of a bumble returning to you for food regularly, day after day? I am gobsmacked by him.
I haven't seen any other of his species for weeks and know he is on borrowed time, so i am so happy that his little fuel stops are hopefully keeping him going as long as possible.
Just amazing
So it's not just us then!

Good cooks can take cooking too seriously, mussy fussy. Go back several, okay many, years and that's not so. When Graham Kerr, The Galloping Gourmet, blithely buttered up audiences with standout recipes, he did so with a wink. Bring back the wink!
In 1970, he was on the Tonight Show, playing a drinking game of sorts with Johnny Carson, who giggled as a cocktail poured, at Kerr's instruction, from his forehead over his nose and into his mouth.
In another ep, there were no do-overs but guffaws as the cherries the Galloping Gourmet cooked, well, flambeed in a too-big way. The laugh track ran loud. I can't wait to share kitschy moments with him and the Two Fat Ladies–a pair of wild-child women who barreled into new places with vim and verve, nothing but smiles.
Whether her style was intentionally comical or not, Julia Child will be on my watchlist, too, garnishing her often messy recipes with witty life wisdom–"I think every woman should have a blowtorch." Yes, me too. Pith, no oranges needed–just ask Dan Akroyd, who famously mimicked Julia on Saturday Night Live. I doubt she found his send-up anything but amusing. (Decades later and a good bit after her death she comes up time and again; last week Eater lauded Mario Cantone for his hilarious impression of Julia on the Rachael Ray show.)
It's good to laugh in the kitchen. But it seems like fewer hosts and shows seek being seen as funny–am I missing some (please share)? Cooking–whether modern or retro–can be plenty amusing, and so can flaming cherries and charred chicken and sunk souffles. What's the harm? Pour a drink over your nose, grab that blowtorch and cook–just for good old-fashioned fun.

Topic: Any advice for antidepressants?
Hello my fellow storm troopers, I need some advice on something to help me through the days. I have bile duct cancer with intrahepatic liver cancer with mild cirrhosis. I tried Zoloft, but it made me upchuck. Does anybody have any suggestions which antidepressant drug might help me without doing any damage. I am on Gemzar and Xeloda chemo treatments, and I will never be able to have radiation. Does anything help take the flatness out of your personality and maybe help you laugh and not stare all the time?
I really need the advice of some of you who experts.
Love and prayers for you,

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/2/2012 (2001 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LONGTIME Blue Bombers season-ticket holders are wondering why they're being treated like second-class citizens during the seat-allocation process for Investors Group Field.
The Winnipeg Football Club is currently transferring 21,000-plus season-ticket seats from the old Canad Inns Stadium into the 33,500-seat facility under construction at the University of Manitoba. Some fans are upset at the process used to determine where they'll be sitting in the new stadium, however, questioning why season-ticket seniority isn't being factored into the allocation equation the club is using.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," offered John Borys, a season's ticket holder for 41 years and counting. "The majority of season-ticket holders who haven't achieved the seniority we have are in for the same type of disappointment.
"Especially if they're currently situated on the east side of the old stadium."
Borys, 63, has four seats in Section V, row 32 at Canad Inns Stadium, which puts him on the 55-yard line. Filling out the ticket-preference survey the club provided earlier in the off-season, Borys and his son Dean indicated they wanted the same seat location, in the lower bowl of Investors Group Field, with P2-designated pricing ($795 per seat).
Neither wanted to shell out the $1,546 per ticket in the pampered "stadium club" block of seats that take up most of the middle-of-the-field seating on the east side. One "club" seat is more than triple the price of one 2011 Platinum season ticket, the elder Borys said.
According to the Bombers' website, the club took into consideration "season ticket holder seniority, current seats and the survey answers submitted" when determining new seat locations at Investors Group Field. These criteria, specifically the seniority, should have landed the Borys family near centre field on the west part of the lower bowl, they figured, as there are no "stadium club" seats on that side.
Last week, they received an email from the club. Their new seats are in Section 105 in the new stadium, to a spot that sits them on the 25-yard line.
Take it or leave it.
"We haven't been given any real options," Dean added, noting the club offered upper deck seats on the 25-yard line as an olive branch. "I informed the Bombers that we would reluctantly take the seats in 105 they've given to us. What were we supposed to do? If we don't take those seats, we might end up with worse ones.
"Frankly, it feels like there's been no consideration to the fans who have supported this club through some very lean times over the last 40 years."
While some season's ticket holders with decades of seniority are being accommodated, Borys and son say the Bombers are inconsistent in their allocation formula, believing that season's ticket holders on the east side are being drastically displaced, while others on the west side -- many with less seniority, they say -- remain in the same seat location.
"The club is basically telling longtime ticket holders that they don't appreciate commitment and loyalty," Dean said. "Very disappointing."
The Borys situation doesn't appear to be an isolated case, either. A quick scan of the various Bombers fan message boards reveal an undercurrent of displeasure with the ticket transfer and the lack of clarity from the club.
One jilted longtime fan, frustrated with his 15-yard move away from the 55-yard line and with lack of communication from the Bombers, sent this message into the Free Press Tuesday:
"I feel that my loyalty over the last 35 years is carrying no benefits going forward," he wrote via email. "We obviously love our football team, but are tiring of the treatment we receive from the front office. Players seem to understand that were it not for us they would not have their employment opportunity, the front office does not seem to understand this."
Numerous requests sent to the Bombers communications department for clarification on the ticket allocation process -- comment from someone like transition officer Jeff Thompson, chief operating officer Jim Bell or director of ticketing Curtis Ash -- were not granted Tuesday.

Businessmen run companies, technocrats run bureaucracies, and politicians run governments. Sometimes they cross-over roles – which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Silvio Berlusconi was a businessman-turned-politician – and that clearly didn't work for Italy. Mario Monti is a technocrat who has taken Mr Berlusconi's place – hopefully he will. I had such thoughts in mind as I listened to Ricardo Martinelli speak at a conference in London this week. Read more
