Huskies team play disintegrates when adversity hits
|The Bisons celebrate a second period goal by Venla Hovi (#9).
After posting a solid 3-0 win in Game 1 of their best-of-three Canada West quarter-final series on Friday night, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women's hockey team looked early like they would post a repeat performance in Game 2 Saturday night at the ancient Rutherford Rink. Instead, the visiting University of Manitoba Bisons turned the tide of the whole series with one play to skate away with a convincing 5-1 victory to even the series 1-1.
The teams will play a series deciding Game 3 on Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Rutherford Rink.
Huskies came out buzzing on Saturday night riding the wave they created from their Game 1 victory. They had golden chance early on to go ahead, when a point shot from fifth-year defender Hanna McGillivray rattled off the post.
The hosts did draw first blood, when star offensive defender Julia Flinton popped home an off-speed point shot with 1:17 to play in the opening frame to give the Huskies what would be a short-lived 1-0 lead.
With 13 seconds to play in the first, the series turned on a play that seemed to come out of the blue. The Bisons broke into the Huskies zone on a 2-1 and a set up pass from Alanna Sharman was deflected home in the air at about knee level by Venla Hovi, who is an import player from Finland.
The Bisons bench came alive on the tally that tied things up at 1-1, and the visitors played like a different team than they had the whole series.
|Huskies goalie Cassidy Hendricks faced a lot of breakaways.
At that point, the Huskies team play unraveled. Players would zip up ice individually with the puck hoping to make something happen instead of trying to create a play with their teammates.
During other stretches, the Huskies would try to make a fancy pass in areas like the centre ice zone, when the more prudent decision would have been to get the puck deep in the offensive zone and charge in hard on the forecheck.
The Bisons continued to play with sound structure, which helped create even more golden scoring chances. After a Huskies turnover, Keen, while being taken down, sent Sharman in on a breakaway, and she deked out Huskies netminder Cassidy Hendricks to make the score 3-1 for U of M. Hendricks had thwarted Sharman on an earlier breakaway when the contest was still tied.
After drawing assists on the first three U of M goals, Keen scored at the 5:03 mark of the third on another breakaway to put the visitors up 4-1. Kayleigh Wiens rounded out the scoring for the Bisons with a third breakaway goal, which came unassisted after a U of S turnover.
|Alanna Sharman had a breakaway goal for the Bisons.
Heading into Game 3 on Sunday, the Huskies will be able to see on video everything they did wrong is easy to correct. Individually, the players have to keep their focus up.
They also have to concentrate on playing as a group of five in all three zones. When the puck goes into the defensive zone, everyone has to dart back. When they bring the puck up ice through the centre ice zone, they have to attack that area with speed and together as a unit.
In the offensive zone, they have to worry about making smart decisions, which means deciding at times to not thread a pass through three or four bodies, but get the puck down low and work a cycle. Those that don't have the puck in the offensive zone need to move into an area to offer an outlet to support the puck carrier.
The series is there for the taking. If the Huskies stay focused and play as a unit of five in all three zones, they will give themselves a chance to advance. They have done that in the past, and they have to remember they have the ability to do it again.
Cougars advance to face Thunderbirds
|Bailey Braden had a series winning goal for the Cougars.
Bailey Braden scored on a first period power play and Toni Ross made 29 saves to power the Cougars to a 1-0 victory over the Dinos. Hayley Dowling stopped 27 shots to take the loss in the U of C net.
The Cougars took the best-of-three series 2-0. In Game 1, they dumped the Dinos 4-1, while holding a 45-14 edge in the shots on goal department.
The Dinos, who finished sixth in the Canada West standings, had stormed into the playoffs winning nine of their last 11 regular season games before bowing out. They will play in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship tournament as the host squad. The eight-team national championship event runs March 17-20 in Calgary.
The Cougars, who were third in Canada West, advance to face the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in a best-of-three Canada West semifinal series.
The winner of Game 3 between the Huskies and Bisons on Sunday advances to face the first place University of Alberta Pandas in the other Canada West best-of-three semifinal series. Sunday's Game 3 with the Bisons will mark the final time the Huskies play at home in the 2015-16 campaign.

A SMALL dark object swirls on the surface of the pool by the edge of the River Devon.
I am momentarily confused as it looks like the size of a duckling or moorhen chick, but it is too early in the season for it to be a baby waterfowl.
I slowly swing the binoculars up to my eyes, quickly revealing that it is, in fact, a dipper, a songbird about the size of a small thrush that actually swims.
Although at home in the river, the dipper is certainly not an accomplished surface swimmer with its lack of webbed feet making its movements somewhat erratic.
Then it dives underwater before reappearing a few seconds later to alight upon a large midstream boulder, its vivid white breast conspicuous as it bobs up and down.
Or, as the Scottish poet Norman MacCaig, noted: "He stands there, bobbing and bobbing as though the water's applauding him."
Usually, a dipper walks or plops into the water from the river edge or a rock before disappearing where it uses its wings to exert downward thrust to counteract its natural buoyancy, enabling it to forage for such small creatures along the bottom.
I have noticed that the dippers on the River Devon tend to swim on the surface like a duck only in winter and when it is very cold.
I'm not sure why this should be the case, but it could possibly be due to aquatic invertebrates moving into deeper water during such conditions, meaning the dippers themselves have to venture further out into the river before diving down to reach them.
Dippers are one of our earliest breeders, with eggs usually laid by early April.
It is thought that they nest early so that the hatching of chicks and development of fledglings coincides with a peak in abundance of aquatic invertebrates in the river in May and June.
The abundance of aquatic invertebrates such as mayflies and stoneflies are dependent upon water cleanliness and the presence of dippers is a sure sign that all is well with the river.

Building a 2x2 fenced area from inside and forgetting to put in a gate (added bonus nothing to bash with except my mallet) 2. Throwing a perfectly good 90ql 90woa shovel at a wolf because i forgot to change my attack stance from ranged attack, of course it breaks. Be great to hear from any other players out there committing crimes against the own intelligence recently or past. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The spank, ploink and snap of 25.5" scale length single-coil equipped guitars was what first caused me to be a fool for the visceral and tactile pleasures of playing the electric guitar. All these years later I still come home after work and instantly flip on the Fender tube amp. After drifting over to the dark side of Gibson (my friends all said I was cheating on my Telecasters) and acquiring a few sweet examples of their most iconic offerings, my responsible side said "Yo. Cool it with the guitars. You've got to play the nice guitars you already have". It was not to be...
Rarely do new guitars by the heavy hitters in the business inspire so much discussion and so many vigorously held opinions. Such is the case with the recently unveiled Road Worn series of guitars and basses offered by Fender. A Relic for the Common Man! Built to look and feel like a well-gigged instrument from Fender's glory days. Specs for the handful of models offered are available on Fender's website, so we'll focus on a singular example to illustrate how special these Road Worn guitars can be. I'll be speaking of the '60's Stratocaster in Olympic White. After all, specs are just numbers and descriptions you read on paper or a computer screen. You play a guitar with your hands and your heart.
Mr. Grumpy-Pants comes out of the woodwork on this one. "You should put the wear on your guitar yourself by playing it," he says. It would take millennia to put wear on thick Polyester gloss finish and exhaust you and your progeny. Have you ever smelled Nitro-cellulose lacquer? Man, that smell means some serious business is about to take place. Do you like the idea of your guitar being more resonant and the wood curing and aging with the years? I think you do. A light-weight nitro finished alder body, nice maple neck (satin poly finish, not nitro) and quality cut of rosewood fingerboard tell me that Fender got a good deal on good wood.
I recently saw a 1960 Stratocaster in Olympic White looking strangely similar to my Road Worn going for $40,000+ on EBay. If that doesn't get a Fender freak fired up I don't know what could.
I didn't want or need another guitar. I was able to justify it to myself the moment I said out loud, "This is a 'fun' guitar".
The Dunlop 6105 narrow jumbo frets on the vintage (rounder) 7.25" radius keep bent notes from fretting out as can happen with smaller vintage frets. These frets are so fun to play on that I even keep 10-46 strings on instead of moving up to 11-48 like I do on my other Fenders.
The lack of finish on the tinted satin poly neck is so comfy that playing a gloss finish one afterward seems disappointing.
The wear on the body, neck, plastic parts and metal parts seems honest, not horribly contrived (although it is!) and stands up to vintage Fenders I've seen in person and on-line. This wear adds a roundness and smoothness to the instrument that makes it a joy to play. Plus, you can't resist looking at yourself playing it in the bathroom mirror (not like I've ever done that).
The neck profile seemed a little thin due to my recent Gibson infatuation, but in comparison to Fender's modern C shape it has just the right amount of shoulder to grab on to. It is thinner than the Classic Series '60's Stratocaster profile, probably in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience.
Some 'Old Heads' would take the Tex Mex pickups out the day they brought it home. Having tired of changing pickups to high end aftermarket vintage styled ones on almost all of my guitars, I am enjoying the fact that while a little on the bright side, this guitar is equipped with a couple of little things labeled "tone" that you can turn to remove that brightness. It sounds like a Stratocaster to me, so I'm not turning a screw.
Those players not caring for Sunburst may love the bluish-white Olympic White. It seems a different color in different lighting.
Having seen and played many of the guitars and basses in Fender's Road Worn series, I am impressed by the weight, feel and resonance of them. I think Fender knocked it out of the park with this one. It's not a pair of distressed jeans, Mr. Grumpy-Pants, but a fun guitar.

Australia's Bluegrass music group, The Stetson Family, commented on their United States independent single release of "A Happy Tale" saying, "what an interesting and great year it's been so far. Exactly a year ago Johnny and I found ourselves on a plane heading to Nashville for a whirlwind week to present O Winding River at the International Bluegrass Music Association songwriter showcase."
They continued, "We had an amazing time witnessing the 'tradition' of bluegrass in full flight, watching players who had grown up with the music coursing through their veins. We met great people and saw some of the most amazing pickers in the world! At the same time we got to observe the raging debate of 'what is bluegrass today?' This was interesting to us as we've never considered ourselves purely a bluegrass band. We just do what we do and respectfully tip our hats to the genre and hope people like our music."
When the band returned, for reasons that life threw their way, they couldn't play gigs for a while, so the band decided to put a compilation album together made up of songs from Hey Sister Mary and The Devil in His Sunday Best to send over to people they had met in Nashville to introduce them to some more Stetson Family music. The idea then became a bit bigger and grew into trying their hand at independently releasing an album in the U.S.
The band said, "the band set about the huge task of navigating our way through the vast U.S. frontier and sending our new project O Winding River on it's merry way. To cut a long story short, the album took flight and to our great surprise turned up at #5 on the Top 50 Bluegrass/Folk Albums on the Global Radio Indicator Charts for August, and is still loitering on there at #11 as we write this. We then discovered it had made the Alternate Roots Chart, making it's way to #14. Then to our further amazement, we realised it had crossed the Atlantic to the UK and Europe and we were contacted by many stations there including two BBC stations telling us we were on their playlists. Go you good thing!"

Douglas College > Programs & Courses > Faculties > Child, Family and Community Studies > Therapeutic Recreation > Volunteer information
Volunteering provides unique and fulfilling work experiences that may help you decide if Therapeutic Recreation is the field for you. You will gain a good sense of the industry with all the exciting challenges and rewards that go with it. You also get to see and experience the role recreation plays in meeting the needs of older people or people with disabilities.
Admission to a Therapeutic Recreation program requires participants to have 45 hours of volunteer or paid experience, which must meet the following requirements:
So, for example, if you have experience spending time one-to-one with an Autistic child and the time you spend involves making meals, transportation and going to the mall or park, we would recommend that you pursue 45 hours in another way or setting. Although your experience here will help you overall, it will not give you the sense for the field of therapeutic recreation that we believe you would benefit from.
If, on the other hand, you have assisted in the recreation or activities department of an intermediate care facility or a mental health clubhouse, that will work just fine. Any setting, which offers recreation services to older adults or to people with disabilities, should work.
You could find an appropriate volunteer experience at:
You can also check out The Red Book, which is a directory of health and social services in the lower mainland, including addresses and phone numbers. Another good website is GoVolunteer. Click on "Browse by Activity" and go to the Sports and Recreation listings.
Before volunteering with an organization, check their volunteer requirements. Many agencies ask volunteers to commit to 6 months and/or 75 hours of volunteering. Some agencies will not fill out the volunteer reference form until you complete the required time. Ask the volunteer coordinator if he/she will fill out the form by the April 1st deadline even if you haven't completed their required commitment.
When you apply for a volunteer position, please tell the Volunteer Coordinator that you are volunteering in order to meet the entrance requirements for the Douglas College Therapeutic Recreation Program. The coordinator will ensure that the volunteer work you are assigned to meets the requirement.

c. An affidavit setting forth the duration of, and reason for the vacancy, the attempts made to lease the vacant space with documents such as copies of listings and advertisements utilized in such efforts attached.

d. Also see Rule 21.
Rule 23
In the event a reduction is sought due to the demolition of a building, the taxpayer or attorney shall file with the Board:
a. A copy of the demolition permit;
b. Evidence of payment for demolition; and
c. An original and clear photograph of the subject property before and after demolition, with the date the after demolition photograph was taken appearing conspicuously thereon.
Rule 24
An argument that a portion of a property should be treated as excess-vacant land shall be supported by a plat of survey detailing the dimensions and locations of all buildings, parking areas, or other improvements; any unimproved areas or storage used, and the product or person flow across the property. The actual use of the property shall be specified. A recent original and clear photograph of the land claimed to be excess shall be filed with the Board.
Rule 25
If the property is held in a land trust and a schedule of all the beneficial owners of the trust includes any legal entity other than an individual, the taxpayer or his/her attorney must submit the schedule of all beneficial owners, signed by the trustee.
Rule 26
The same standards and requirements as set forth in these rules with respect to overvaluation complaints apply to any undervaluation complaints in addition to any others set forth in the Board's Undervaluation (underassessment) Rules. The burden of proof that a property is undervalued rests with the taxpayer-complainant who must establish by competent evidence that such property is underassessed.
Rule 27
Taxpayers dissatisfied with a decision of the Board may request a review of their case. Because the review process is not to be employed as a substitute for the otherwise timely submission of documents required by the Board, the submission of an entire set of documents in the first instance on review will be considered, in the discretion of the Board, only upon a showing of good cause or exigent circumstances. Review requests should not simply argue with the Board capitalization rates, expense ratios, and rulings of law without further detailed explanation and analysis. Nor should requests simply reiterate or resubmit previously advanced arguments and materials without additional supporting evidence or argument to justify reconsideration.
Review requests in writing must be delivered or faxed to Board. Review requests online or in writing must be:
a. filed timely, within 3 days of the date of the letter from the Board informing the appellant of the Board's decision;
b. identify the assessment, township and complaint number and the relevant PIN numbers of the case; and
c. must state specific grounds for the review request.
The grounds for a re-review request are:
a. newly discovered, obtained or received evidence;
b. changes in the law;
c. an error in the Board's previous application of existing law;
d. evidence provided in response to a request of the Board made at the
hearing or indicated in the case file, notes or decision of the Board;
e. correction of a mathematical or calculation error;
f. submission of a relevant PTAB stipulation or tax objection order;
g. presentation of other decisions by the Board on similar properties;
h. relevant evidence responding to issues raised by a divided vote decision of the Board;
i. specific evidence and argument related to the method of analysis employed;
k. an intervening sale, demolition, destruction or change of use of the property;
l. consideration of an Assessor's Recommendation or Certificate of Error

Conversion Rate Optimization Agency Services
Increasing conversion rates can be tricky. The two factors that most impact them remain in constant flux: search engine algorithms and user behavior. Add in the major shift from desktop to mobile devices and websites need to constantly adapt and adjust to stay relevant, hip and producing a desirable ROI.
The answer to the need for constant adjustment lies in viewing every web page and landing page as though it's in beta. This approach establishes a practical need for a management strategy that includes monitoring, regular reporting and analysis, and plans in the time and effort needed to make changes. Conversion rate optimization services based on this model do more than simply lift conversion rates. These services offer a proactive way to adapt to user behaviors to limit drop-offs, keep bounce rates low and establish higher standards for performance.
The simple "every site is in beta" philosophy provides the foundation for the Be Found Online® conversion rate optimization services. These services start with a strategic methodology, leverage advanced tools to save both time and money, and recognize the need for constant performance consulting to boost conversion rates and keep them high.
Our CRO methodology begins by understanding the goals for the specific website or web page. In our initial meetings, we do a lot of listening and ask a lot of questions. We want to ensure the project objectives align with a brand's marketing and business goals.
Once the goals are established, we analyze and audit user behavior. This audit includes attribution analysis, user path behavior analysis and conversion funnel analysis. We want to understand what your users are doing – and when. With this data, we recommend quick, short-term opportunities for an immediate conversion rate boost. We will also make long-term recommendations, often in the form of simple A/B tests and content experiments with the greatest chance to improve conversions throughout the entire funnel.

Conversion rates sky-rocket and big results follow once you find out why users didn't act on the CTA you provided. Was it the color of the "Order Now" button on your landing page, or maybe the wording of the CTA itself? The answer to this and the myriad of other questions surrounding conversion rates of PPC ads, Facebook Ads, Landing Pages and more lies in regular A/B testing and reporting.
Analytics play a big role, but so does the importance of creative elements. From content creation to graphics, conversion rates pose a big task for a digital marketer.

With this assignment came multiple struggles. I was not sure how to completely go about creating my mini comic strip and I still am unsure if I executed this correctly. I think the one thing that confused me most, or that made it the most difficult for me was that it was ONLY three panels. In my mind, a story needs to have more than just three panels with some words on it to be able to tell a complete story and have a lesson of some sort.
When drawing this Triptych, and coming up with the captions, I didn't truly understand how dark I made it sound until I looked at it with new eyes as a finished product. Although, despite it's bluntness, I do agree with what I wrote. I believe that if you are going to work hard, it should be because you want to achieve a final goal, and have that hard work pay off. If you work hard just for the sake of working hard because someone told you to, then you will not achieve anything. I believe there should be an aspiration behind every effort put in by someone so that what everything they put into their goal, will eventually payoff in the outcome.

Whilst the real farmers spread fertilizer and hauled straw and repaired stuff I shirked responsibility yesterday.
I spent the morning trying to figure out how to form an LLC to sell feed. After lunch I helped my uncle dig a grave. Just a small grave. One to fit an urn.
It was a sunny day and the fields are drying out. I should be planting but the drill and tractor are both apart.
Next i went to work on my tractor but stopped by the bank on my way. I have discovered that the government has done its best to make it difficult to start a business. Especially if you are intimidated by paperwork and regulations.
Once in the bank I ran into a neighbor who sold me some large grain tanks. I had to back out of the deal when I realized there is so much worthless crap setting around our farm that there is nowhere to put grain tanks.
In a happy and cheerful mood I drove to my cousin's shop where I have my drill and tractor. He was having difficulties working on his new used truck transmission and so I helped him.
After a while some neighbors showed up and I went home.
My wife had made coffee.
After a cup I headed back to the shop to make a hitch for the Allen twin rake. This is one of the 15 projects I have started and will never finish.
True to form I was distracted.
It all started with an airgun CO2 cylinder that has been in the way in my toolbox for two years. I was looking for a center punch and I found the cylinder. I got to wondering if you dropped the CO2 cylinder down a pipe onto a center punch, would it shoot out like a mortar?
I assembled parts.
A broken five foot sprinkler riser. A cat II to cat I three point top link adapter which just fit over the CO2 cylinder, and various pipe fittings.
The problem was to get the CO2 cylinder to hit the end of the center punch straight on.
In the end I used pipe reducers to center the CO2 cylinder and the center punch.
I clamped the whole thing in the vice and aimed it skyward.
Since the CO2 cylinder was too light to drop down the barrel I struck the punch with a hammer. The cylinder let out a whoosh as all was quiet. The thought occurred to me that this would have been much better in daylight.
I started counting.
Once I hit ten I went back in the shop. Just as I turned away a heard the cylinder hit the bushes across the fence from the shop.
I'm thinking it went fairly high.
Perhaps I will find another cylinder today.
See how well your 1.2 million dollar investment would be used?
I'm just a fellow out standing in his field... The Daily Strumpet is the continuation of the Daily Strumpet newsletter which started in 1983. Anything else is just a cheap ripoff.

Another cold morning with frost around so turnout was a bit disappointing with only 5 of us at the start, including Mel from SEG who we are delighted to welcome as a not infrequent visitor.
With the scheduled elevenses stop at Rayne station, a few loops were necessary to keep the first leg at a reasonable distance. One of these was a very attractive lane we rarely use from Howe Street to the A131 just South of Great Leighs. It does dump you on the A131 but we only had to do a couple of hundred metres on it before turning onto the cycle path into Little Leighs.
Luckily we were able to sit indoors at Rayne, sharing the space with Shaftsbury riders who arrived at about the same time. Dave R joined us and we set off for Finchingfield via Shalford and Waltham's Cross enjoying intermittent sunshine on the way.
John D joined us for lunch at The Red Lion where the size of the baguettes impressed the others but my soup was a bit average. However the welcoming approach of the staff and the excellent beer were much appreciated.
John stayed with us for the ride to tea at Andrewsfield where we saw several planes taking off and landing. We returned to Chelmsford against a slight headwind and I recorded 49.1 miles for the day.

Aboriginal Tribes in Canada wins an historical Landmark Supreme Court case
Canada: native won a historic victory for their rights
Montreal – The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized for the first time Thursday that indigenous aboriginal people had an aboriginal title of occupation and management of a territory of nearly 2,000 km2 in the province of British Columbia
The decision in favor of some 3,000 members of the semi-nomadic First Nation Chilcotin (Tsilhqot'in) may weigh on similar Amerindian outstanding claims and affect many projects exploitation of raw materials (mining, forestry, petroleum, pipelines, etc..) over large swathes of territory.
This Supreme Court ruling could affect the mining rights that Cameco holds in Canada. According to Cameco.com Cameco Corporation is the world's largest publicly traded uranium company, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Also Cameco Sk-Canada is the major supplier of Uranium for Nuclear Weapons
In 2012, a Court of Appeal of that province had refused to recognize aboriginal title claimed by the Chilcotin in that territory at the center of British Columbia because they had not proved that the arrival of settlers their European ancestors used a specific tract of land.
The Supreme Court reversed this decision by pointing out that the existence of aboriginal title is not restricted to specific places of establishment but territories used for hunting or fishing, for example, where these people exercised effective control at the time of the assertion of European sovereignty.
The decision brings to an end a legal saga of twenty years which started when the government of the province in 1983 was granted a business license to cut timber on lands Chilcotin considered part of their ancestral territory .
The federal government in Ottawa and the province had contested the claim of title, but on Thursday the Supreme Court held that British Columbia has failed at the time, with its constitutional obligation consultation to the community.
This recognition does not grant provided absolute rights over their ancestral indigenous territory. But the province will not allow economic or other projects without their consent, unless they can demonstrate the existence of a real and compelling public purpose, and consistent way to compensate them.
This decision certainly go down in history as one of the most important and most fundamental judgments ever rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada, said the spokesman for the Assembly of First Nations of Canada, Chief Ghislain Picard , the main organization representing 1.4 million native country.

Canadians Reject EU-Canada Trade Agreement
Posted on August 29, 2012 by Akashma Online News
Growing OppositionTo The Canada-EU Trade Agreement
By Dana Gabriel
Be Your Own Leader
With the final rounds of negotiations sessions planned for September and October, Canada and the EU are closing in on a free trade deal that would go far beyond the reach of NAFTA. Meanwhile, there is growing opposition to the agreement as the whole process has lacked openness, transparency and any public consultations. In Canada, there are concerns over the threat it poses to local democracy. This includes fears of deregulation and privatization, as well the expansion of corporate investor rights. There are also warnings that the deal could be used as a backdoor means to implement ACTA which was rejected by the European Parliament in July.
As the Canada-European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) talks near their end, the Council of Canadians continue to voice their opposition to the deal. While I don't agree with their position on some different issues, they have been championing the fight against CETA. In an effort to counter misleading statements made by the Conservative government regarding the trade pact, they have released the report, the CETA Deception . Trade campaigner, Stuart Trew explained how this is an effort to, "challenge the government's reassurances that its EU trade deal will not affect public health or environmental regulations, will not allow foreign corporations to challenge public policy, will not undermine public services or municipal democracy, will not increase drug prices or hurt Canada's supports for arts and culture. In each case, the government's position is either misleading or demonstrably false." As a result of the threat CETA poses to local sovereignty , a growing number of Canadian municipalities have passed resolutions seeking more information and a greater say in negotiations with some also requesting to be excluded from the agreement.
In her recent visit to Canada, German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged support for the Canada-EU free-trade pact and promised to see to it that talks come to a speedy conclusion. The endorsement was seen as a much needed boost for Prime Minister Stephen Harper who is eager to get a deal signed before the end of the year. The Conservative government maintains that deeper trade with the EU will create jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity. They have also tried to convince the public that CETA has been one of the most transparent trade negotiations in Canadian history. In an article for iPolitics , Stuart Trew stressed that, "If CETA and agreements like it are supposed to be 21st century or 'next-generation' free trade deals, they should be negotiated in 21st century ways ? openly, transparently, and with broad public input. Failure to do so in the ACTA negotiations led to that agreement's demise in the European Parliament. The same fate could easily await CETA on both sides of the Atlantic."
Last month, after mounting public pressure, the European Parliament rejected the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). The vote was the result of, "unprecedented direct lobbying by thousands of EU citizens who called on it to reject ACTA, in street demonstrations, e-mails to MEPs and calls to their offices. Parliament also received a petition, signed by 2.8 million citizens worldwide." The U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan and New Zealand, as well as other countries have also signed on to ACTA, but have yet to ratify the deal. ACTA poses a serious risk to internet freedom and privacy. It would also give an unfair advantage to patented medicines and limit access to affordable generic options. Academic researcher and law professor Michael Geist warned that, "In the coming weeks and months, we can expect new efforts to revive the agreement within Europe and to find alternative means to implement its provisions." It now appears that EU negotiators are trying to use CETA to sneak in ACTA.
Just days after ACTA was defeated, Michael Geist reported that leaked documents show the, "EU plans to use the Canada-EU Trade Agreement (CETA), which is nearing its final stages of negotiation, as a backdoor mechanism to implement the ACTA provisions." He noted that, "The European Commission strategy appears to be to use CETA as the new ACTA, burying its provisions in a broader Canadian trade agreement with the hope that the European Parliament accepts the same provisions it just rejected with the ACTA framework." After initially refusing to comment on the leak, the European Commission issued the statement, CETA is not ACTA in which they claimed that, "The accusations are unfounded since they rely on outdated and incomplete information." In a recent update , Geist reaffirmed that the, "concerns that CETA may replicate ACTA appear to be very real despite the denials from the European Commission." This whole issue has caused an uproar across Europe and in Canada and has brought much needed attention to CETA.
In their article, A trade deal that sets a bad precedent , Stuart Trew and Blair Redlin emphasized other CETA dangers besides ACTA which may threaten European policy and interests. They pointed out that CETA will be the first EU-wide investor-rights treaty covering all member states. Trew and Redlin posed the question, "What difference would a new treaty with Canada make? It is important to keep in mind the deep integration of the North American economy. The same U.S. firms that have taken Canada before investor-state panels under the North American free-trade agreement (NAFTA) 17 times will be able to challenge EU policy through their Canadian investments." As far as NAFTA rules go, any rights granted to EU corporations as part of CETA would also apply to North American companies. CETA is being used to bridge the NAFTA and EU trade models. Ultimately, what happens with CETA will affect how the U.S. and EU move forward with their own future free trade plans.
According to legal analysis by international trade and public interest lawyer, Steven Shrybman, CETA would expand NAFTA investor rights and protections. He acknowledged that, "With CETA, Canada is proposing to accord EU investors and services providers far more expansive rights than those accorded (to) their U.S. and Mexican counterparts. Canada would therefore be required to provide this 'most-favoured' treatment to its NAFTA partners, even though neither is making reciprocal commitments." Shrybman also described how the trade deal will give European corporations new rights at the expense of provincial powers. He cautioned that, "CETA represents a dramatic expansion of the application of international rules to spheres of provincial and local governance." He went on to say, "policy and regulatory options of provincial, territorial and municipal governments will be curtailed to a much greater extent than has been the case under these earlier free trade agreements." Modeled in the same fashion as NAFTA's Chapter 11, the investor-state dispute process in CETA would give EU corporations the right to challenge government policies that restrict their profits.
As negotiations enter their final stretch, it is imperative to get the word out on how CETA could further jeopardize our political and economic sovereignty. A NAFTA-style free trade agreement with Europe that gives corporations further powers to influence Canadian laws would be dangerous and destructive. Considering the deepening economic crisis in Europe and the real possibility that the Eurozone could break up, this is also the wrong time for Canada to be entering into this trade deal with the EU.

The Set Bump was a blog that focused on brickfilming news, brickfilm reviews, and encouraging discussions about brickfilms.
History Edit
The site was launched as Brick Animation[1] (and continued to reside at that URL for several years) on August 1, 2012 by founders David Pagano and David Pickett.[2] They soon became dissatisfied with this name and launched a contest where readers could submit suggestions for a new name for the site.[3] The site was eventually renamed to The Set Bump on June 17, 2013. This name was not actually a suggestion from the naming contest.[4]
Other contributors to The Set Bump have included "Repelling Spider", Marc-André Caron and Kim Smith.[5] David Pickett remained The Set Bump's most active contributor, and The Set Bump averaged one new post a month.
In April 2018, it was annouced that The Set Bump would be closing. It was set to go offline on May 16, 2018,[6] but the site currently remains up.[7]

Discovering Affordable Luxury in Cancun, Mexico
While there can be danger in traveling to the country of Mexico, the truth is, its prestigious resorts and beaches, upscale dining, and shopping make it worth the risk. At least for me.
Over the years, Mexico has become majorly Americanized, but it is still packed with incredible things to see and do. We love traveling there and have discovered affordable luxury in Cancun, Mexico unsurpassed nearly anywhere in the world. Here is what we recommend.
Cancun, A Great Success Story
Having been to Cancun many times over the course of twenty-five years, I have witnessed it growing to the world-class vacation destination that it is today.
Cancun is located on the northwest Yucatan Peninsula. The Mexican state Quintana Roo began in 1974 as a pioneer of the planned-center cities and implemented it to top tourist destination quickly. Cancun's elegant shopping centers, high-end hotels, and attention to customer service make this a trifecta vacation destination.
The blue hues of Cancun's water are simply dazzling, as is the tropical climate. This part of the Caribbean Sea offers sparkly white sand beaches, ones you want to sink your toes into. Water sports and fishing are abundant in Cancun, Mexico or there are a plethora of phenomenal golf courses if that is more your speed. My husband swears by Moon Palace, a Jack Nicklaus designed course.
Cancun's Luxury Shopping Malls
Cancun luxury is really apparent in the four distinct shopping areas of the city. Luxury Avenue, an upscale indoor mall, is chock full of high-brow shops such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Burberry. In the hotel zone, La Isla Outdoor Shopping Village offers mostly American stores and eateries (like Tommy Hilfiger and Chili's, but the well-known brands attract many tourists.
Cancun's famous flea market, Coral Negro Market, is filled with pushy shop workers that will drive you crazy trying to lure you in and sell you their wares, but the merchandise is plentiful and native to the area. A popular tourist hotspot is Flamingo Plaza (Plaza Caracol Mal) with unique attractions and restaurants including Rainforest Cafe, Coco Bongo Show and Disco, Pat O'Brien's, and Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville. Cancun is known for its 925 silver jewelry. Vendors expect you to haggle over the prices so don't pay what is first suggested. Many of the jewelry items are quite unique.
Culinary Delights
One of my favorite restaurants in the world (yes, the world!) is Cenacolo, a superb Italian restaurant in a Casula, yet candlelit setting in Plaza KuIkulcan. The attractive restaurant is known for their handmade pastas and outstanding wine list. Try try favorite meal: Beef Carpaccio (thinly sliced and perfectly paired with greens, oil, and herbs), "Little Green Hats", and the Lobster Ravioli. Cenacolo's version of Tiramisu is much closer to a mousse or pudding. It is served in a frozen bowl and the taste is heavenly!
Another great dining experience in Cancun, Mexico is to attend a live dinner/dance show buffet at Hacienda Sisal, or you can skip the dance show completely and just order from a menu. We had the best Fajitas, with quality ingredients and velvety black beans. Our friends, who chose the buffet instead, were not crazy about the lower food quality. Hacienda has strolling musicians and a tequila list with selections that can run up to $200 a shot. All in all, this is a great place to take a group and you're guaranteed a fun time.
Harry's Steakhouse & Raw Bar is another great restaurant where you can get the freshest seafood dishes in a very upscale setting. This is where you go for incredible dry-aged steaks, creative cocktails, and impeccable service.
Pristine Accommodations
My top three favorite resorts in Cancun, Mexico are the Ritz Carlton, Le Méridien, and Casa Magna Marriott.
The Elegant Ritz Carlton
Cancun's Ritz Carlton is the crème de la crème of luxury hotels. We were there once for a convention and again with our children for Spring Break. Our daughters loved the Ritz Carlton's spectacular oceanfront swimming pool and hot tubs. The pool service was typical Ritz perfection with us never having to wait or want for anything. The food was tasty, too.
While at the Ritz Carlton Cancun, I attended the Ritz Carlton Culinary School Center twice, and it was well worth the cost. One class menu taught us traditional Mexican dishes such as fresh salsa, guacamole, skirt steak tacos, black beans, homemade corn tortillas, and the class favorite, Margatini's. I still make several of these dishes today.
The second class I took was with my husband. We prepared a fancy Red Snapper, Shrimp Ceviche, and concluded with a trio of chocolate desserts. The dessert dish was amazing! I made and ate the best churros of my life here and the hot chocolate ganache was to die for!
Le Méridien
On another trip to Cancun, Mexico, we stayed at Le Méridien, a Starwood Property. This small boutique hotel offers one of the best spas in town. I tried several treatments for research purposes, of course.
Le Méridien's close proximity to the popular places in town makes it a great place to stay for conventions, which is why we were there in the first place. It is right in the middle of Cancun's hotel zone and is situated so that every room has a partial or full ocean view.
Our executive suite at Le Méridien included a full living room, two small balconies, a full kitchen, two full baths, and a very spacious bedroom. Our rate was around $300 per night, which we found was reasonable for a luxury suite. The hotel gets an A+ for their impeccable service and delicious food.
Hands down, the best part of our Le Méridien vacation was the mesmerizing infinity pools. Three pools, located on staggered decks, features warm, cool, and cold water temperatures surrounded by plush beach lounges. They all afforded a lovely view of the sparkling ocean and beach. The poolside bar prepared perfect mojitos and creamy guacamole dip that we had daily.
Casa Magna Marriott
Offering "beachside magnificence", as quoted from their website, is the perfect way to describe the Casa Magna Marriott. This resort will satisfy the traveler's soul as it did ours. Though the Casa Magna is an older resort, it is tastefully decorated, has impressive restaurants, and ultimate beach views rom the swimming pools and oceanfront hot tub. At La Capilla, their Argentinian restaurant, try the Chateaubriand for Two, which was one of the best meals of our trip.
Bait and Switch- Marriott to Save the Day- A Personal Story
My first trip to Cancun is when my husband, Eddie, and I were very young and poor. A friend had sold us her timeshare points at a great bargain. We couldn't wait to spend our big vacation in Cancun, Mexico.
When we arrived at the timeshare, they tried a "bait and switch" and the place was a dump and in an unsafe part of town. I was not having any part of this. We were exhausted from traveling, but took a cab to find something that looked familiar to us. Soon we encountered the Casa Magna Marriott, a brand we loved staying at and were loyalty club members of.
The hotel's manager explained to us that they were sold out, but went as far as to call a nearby hotel and send us to their property for the night. The next day, he sent for us as soon as the Casa Magna Marriott could get a room prepared for us.
Though the hotel rate was greater than we could afford at the time, Eddie and I were welcomed to a lovely hotel room and a stellar resort with a most friendly staff that made us feel totally relaxed and at home. Marriott Corporation helped us make the most of an otherwise bad travel experience.
Within days, Eddie and I had forgotten all about our first miserable day in Mexico and enjoyed a memorable vacation. To this day, twenty plus years later, we still choose Marriott properties whenever possible; Ritz Carlton brand, for luxury trips, Marriott or JW for everyday travel, and Residence Inn or TownePlace Suites, when traveling with our dog.
Side Trips in Cancun
For a quick day trip, explore the Mayan history by visiting Tulum, the ruins of a walled city fort to defend against warriors in the 1200 AD era on the top of a cliff overlooking the tranquil Caribbean Sea. The guided tour was informative and the guide kept it light and interesting; you will not understand the amazing ruins you are seeing without one. Take a swimsuit as you can enjoy swimming while there.
Beware, this does require a two hour drive.
FYI: Cancun is known for its wild party atmosphere at places like Señor Frogs and Carlos 'n' Charlie's. While these establishments are great fun, do not go if you think you might be easily offended at the scantily clad and drinking crowds. They get very rowdy. These are a treat for the open-minded traveler, but are not the family fun places for all ages.
FYI: The beaches in Cancun are mostly marked with red flags because of the rough waters and current.

The deer herd that used to live in the "Deer Park" section of Webster Conservation Area has been gone for several years. Since then, vegetation, much of it invasive,
The Red Maple Swamp that makes up much of Cold Spring Park is threatened by an expanding understory of invasive exotic glossy buckthorn, which shades the understory so much that the red maples and oaks in this forested area cannot successfully reseed themselves.
A Conservation Partnership
The rare Woodcock Meadow in Nahanton Park is threatened by the growth of invasives and woody vegetation.
The Friends of Nahanton Park and the Newton Conservators have developed a two-phase restoration plan.
Armed with seed pods that look like chili peppers, shiny green leaves that come in pairs, purple star-shaped flowers, and grappling spaghetti-like roots, this invasive non-native vine threatens monarch butterflies and songbirds and displaces native plant communities vital to insects,

Many of us participate in garlic mustard pulls at Cold Spring Park and read about the Audubon survey of the invasive plants in Nahanton Park,
Did you know that you may have invasive plants in your garden? There are quite a few here in New England. They are dangerous because they spread into natural areas and push out the diverse native plants that were originally there.
The first invasives pulls of 2010 were held in Cold Spring Park, Auburndale Cove, Sawmill Brook, and Dolan Pond.

Garlic mustard, a leading plant invader, is now in your backyard, along your favorite walks, virtually everywhere in Newton! The problem will get worse and worse if we do not act.
The City of Newton is under attack from alien invaders. They have come from far away and are taking over our back yards, parks, and conservation areas. Slowly and quietly they are creeping into our public open spaces,

Signs of Canine & Feline Cancer: Do You Know the Warning Symptoms?
Common Signs of Cancer In Canines & Felines:
- Difficulty eating or swallowing
- Abnormal swellings that persist or continue to grow
- Sores that do not heal
- Weight loss and/or loss of appetite
- Pet just not acting like himself; behavior changes
- Bleeding or discharge from any body opening
- Difficulty breathing, urinating or defecating
- Persistent lameness or stiffness
- Hesitance to exercise or loss of stamina
Many of the above signs are also seen in pets with noncancerous conditions. Regardless, these are signs your pet has some type of health condition and a visit to your veterinarian is warranted. Any new lump or growth on your pet should always be checked by the veterinarian. Don't put off having even the smallest growth examined as many seemingly "benign" skin growths can be cancer. 60% of skin growths found on cats are cancerous.
Depending upon the timing of bringing your pet in, more or less will be able to be done to help the pet. Initially the veterinarian will recommend laboratory tests such as bloodwork, urine analysis and XRAYS. Most of the time, this will provide some preliminary insight to the veterinarian, but a biopsy is generally required in order to definitively diagnoses the presence of cancer and the type of cancer.
Once diagnosed, it's recommended that you see a veterinary oncologist so that you understand your treatment options, even if you don't wish to pursue chemotherapy or radiation. Holistic care can greatly help pets with cancer. Using a wholesome, nutritious diet combined with natural supplements can improve the quality of the pet's life and may extend their longevity.
