This is going to shape up to be one sweet week around here. I'm going to be sharing 3 awesome and easy spring desserts using Kraft goodies. I can hardly stand the excitement! Are you ready to join me on this delicious journey? This is a sponsored post.
Kraft sent me some of their awesome goodies to get my spring dessert juices flowing. The JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding and BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate were used in creating this decadent cake recipe that is right on the Kraft website, perfect! Later this week, I'm going to share my very own creation using some of these goodies, so make sure to come visit again! You know, the best part about this cake recipe aside from it being so simple is that it would cost you under $10 to make it. Pretty impressive indeed!
Another great thing about this particular recipe is that you can get the kid's involved. There is no baking, you'll only use the microwave briefly to create this amazing chocolate topping. My son loves to hang out with me in the kitchen. It's not only an awesome time for us to just chat and laugh, it's also a time to teach him how to cook and be creative. Don't tell him that part, though. Shhh.
You probably can't wait for this scrumptious recipe, so why am I keeping you waiting? If you have 15 minutes, you can totally nail this recipe! It starts out with a pre-made angel food cake available at any grocery store bakery. Then the magic starts to happen when you whip up the JELL-O Vanilla Pudding layer and the show stops with the simple chocolate layer on top. Takes wonderful chilled, this is definitely one of my new favorite recipes!
This delicious dessert can be refrigerated up to 4 hours before serving.

Maurice Steger / ZKO — Zurich, 2014-10-28
Some media are proclaiming Maurice Steger the "world champion of the recorder". I think this is a rather odd statement, as musical interpretation can't be measured, remains subjective, both on the side of the artist, as well as in the listener's perception and receptivity; however, it is certainly legitimate to state that Maurice Steger's recorder playing is in the world's very top league…

Albrecht Mayer, Norrington / ZKO — Zurich, 2014-11-25
(…) The last position in the program (after the intermission) was Mozart's Symphony No.40 in G minor, K.550, in its first version (without clarinets), preceded by some explanations (in English) by the conductor. Sir Roger Norrington first alluded to numeric relations between the two symphonies (No.4 vs. No.40 — second vs. second-to-last symphony), then referred to the fact that K.550 is overused, known too well even, and played in warehouses and escalators…

Cancelled: Carlyle Group-Kennedy Center Chief David Rubenstein Pulls Book at Last Minute
■Books
■Celebrity
by Roger Friedman - March 10, 2016 11:48 am
EXCLUSIVE A lot of people have decided to pull their memoirs from publication at the last minute. Oprah did it years ago, Billy Joel more recently.
Now we can add to that list David Rubenstein, the very wealthy head of the secretive billionaire boys club called the Carlyle Group and self-styled philanthropist who took over the Kennedy Center a few years ago. You may recall it was Rubenstein who ousted founding "Kennedy Center Honors" producer George Stevens, Jr. He's so rich one of his passions is to restore the public monuments in Washington, DC.
A few years ago Rubenstein signed a contract with HarperCollins for a book called "Beyond Wall Street: Inside The Rise Of Private Equity." It was listed in all the HarperCollins catalogs and due for publication in 2009. Well, calendar pages flew by, and the most recent date scheduled was for December 2015. But that date came and went. Now I'm told that Rubenstein has pulled the book, even though it was written, edited, and ready to be sold.
I asked, Did he give back the big advance? My spy laughed. Rubenstein could probably buy HarperCollins and have it pulped if he wanted.
So what happened? "He realized it would do more harm and than good to his dealings."
You could see glimmers of Rubenstein emerging as a personality this year. There was a piece on him from "CBS Sunday Morning." And there's a terrific piece about him in The New Yorker this week concerning billionaires and tax breaks.
But it may finally be dawning on Rubenstein that his baby steps into the spotlight are making it harder to do his kind of business. A book would be the tipping point, particularly with a p.r. tour on places like Charlie Rose and NPR.

Thematic Exhibition – Successful Inscription on the Third National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage: Hong Kong Items
Other Exhibitions /Local History and Culture /Exhibition Series on Hong Kong Memory (2019/20)
Date: 2020/1/8 (Wednesday) to 2020/4/28 (Tuesday)
Venue: Hong Kong Central Library
Description: This exhibition aims to introduce the four embodiments of indigenous Hong Kong culture - the Jiao Festival of Cheung Chau, the Dragon Boat Water Parade of Tai O, the Fire Dragon Dance of Tai Hang and the Yu Lan Ghost Festival of the Hong Kong Chiu Chow Community that were successfully inscribed onto the Third National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. All these four items fall within the definition of "Social practices, rituals and festive events" set out in the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). These items feature distinctive individual characteristics and exerting an important influence on the communities. In the current macro climate of urbanisation and globalisation, local cultural events such as these which promote community cohesion as they are handed down from generation to generation, are not only extremely precious, but also are hard to come by in a busy modern city like Hong Kong. For additional information, please visit Hong Kong Memory Portal's online collection "The Oral Legacies (I) - Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong".

Editor's note: Today we speak with Josh Diemert, lead systems administrator for Scheels, a 26-location sporting-goods chain with stores in 11 states.
Scheels, an employee-owned, privately held business with more than 6,000 employees, has a long history of adapting to changing times. Founded in 1902 as a small hardware and general merchandise store in Sabin, Minnesota, it added sporting goods in 1954, athletic clothing in 1972, and eventually grew into an all-sports chain. In this interview, we see how the company continues to adapt today, using Chrome to deliver better service to its customers with expert advice.
Why is technology important to Scheels?
We aim to understand our customers and give them personal attention and local information. We've taken the in-store experience to a new level by leveraging technology to make shopping fun, while at the same time empowering our sales team to deliver a better quality of service.
Chrome has dramatically improved our digital signage. We use Chromebits to power digital signs in key parts of the business, like our fishing shops. The signs display information on nearby river conditions and advice on the latest equipment and local fishing techniques. They're incredibly popular features that have helped build customer loyalty.
Given the success of our digital signage, it made sense to use Chrome for our in-store kiosks. The kiosks allow customers to order items that aren't available in their local store. It's the best of both worlds: hands-on advice from a local professional and access to the large inventory of an online retailer.
Our sales team also uses Chromebooks to streamline the customer workflow. Some purchases require background checks and a lot of paperwork, but Chromebooks makes it easy and more efficient to fill out the required forms. The technology also puts the right information at our employees' fingertips, helping them provide better on-the-spot advice to our customers.
How did you get started with Chrome?
About three years ago we transitioned to Google Apps with the help of Google Apps Premier Partner Agosto. We purchased our licensing through them. They also gave us guidance on migrating our data out of Lotus Notes and into Google Apps, and showed us the benefits of Chromebooks over the legacy machines we were using. When we saw the difference, we decided to try Chrome for digital signage, kiosks and our sales staff.
What other kinds of benefits have you gotten from Chrome?
Before Chrome, it was a pain to get digital signs working — it could take a week or more to set up our legacy hardware. With Chromebits, it takes ten minutes to set up a digital sign, and we can manage them all from one location. This saves valuable time for our IT department.
We've also saved money. We were considering Windows laptops for our sales associates, but by choosing Chromebooks we're saving $200 per laptop.
Overall, the biggest benefit has been giving our customers the attention they deserve, whether by offering local information, access to a larger range of products through our in-store kiosks, or making the customer workflow process easy with Chromebooks. We pride ourselves on being experts on everything we sell. With Chrome, our experts can spend more time with our customers and show them the personalized customer support that helps them choose exactly the right camping gear for a first family camping trip or the mountain bike that's exactly the right height and weight. We're such big believers in Chrome, we now turn to it as the first option for any new challenge.

I was in the midst of an army of elves, witches, fairies and robots- all mingling with earnest middle-aged men in flannel and tweed.
Definitely a strange crew as I entered the NEC this weekend. Then it hit me: they were going to either the neighbouring Comic convention or the Model Train bash. I, on the other hand, was heading for the annual Motorcycle Live show.
It was a pilgrimage. In 1971, having worked through a summer holiday, I purchased my first motorcycle, pulled on a helmet and set off. For the first time in my life, I enjoyed complete privacy and liberty. For the next 47 years I have never been without a bike.
The industry has had its rocky moments. In 1962 Honda imported a motorcycle which held a mirror up to those marques and which none took seriously. Other Japanese machines followed. So, by 1975 British large-scale motorcycle manufacturing had ceased to exist.
Then a curious thing happened. Motorcycling progressively changed from being cheap transport to being recreational, a hobby which combined the joy of the open road, the potential to visit far flung places and that most important sense of being a bit of a rebel. Someone who doesn't run with the herd. Think Easy Rider.
At the NEC, I have never seen more varied machines on display. If motor manufacturers had brought as many cars as there were bikes at the show, they would cover the Isle of Wight.
More than 100,000 fans came through the doors. Eleven World Champions attended, every major manufacturer was there and dozens of new bikes were on display for the public to admire, sit on and be photographed with. Technicians and those world champions answered questions and…ahem… girls handed out brochures.
Within the world of motorcycling there are many subgroups each looking for bikes which fulfilled their own requirements. Some like to teeter around on machines that can almost climb trees, others to speed across deserts and some to emulate their heroes. Still more, myself included, like to travel to remote countries with everything needed for a fortnight stowed aboard.
So what caught my eye?
The best selling bike in the UK for the past several years has been the machine which Ewan MacGregor and Charlie Borman took on their Long Way Round across Russia and Long Way Down through Africa – the GS model BMW. The company showed the latest version of that bike, the R1250GS, and it's a beauty. But if you want speed how about the supercharged Kawasaki HP2 which will do a true 200 mph straight out of the crate? Lunacy….
Small wonder then, that a new addition to the biking scene is an over-jacket full of airbags which inflate in mili-seconds as a rider flies off the bike.
There was a feast of wonderful machinery on display and all around the periphery smaller outfits promoted custom parts, luggage, clothing, helmets and holidays. And, by the way, not an elf nor model train in sight. This was the week for bike fans: a hundred thousand people fill Wembley – and a stadium or two besides. That's a lot of folks.


Marketing for Dentists. Ways to dig deep for new customers.
she found some work to do, don't you always.
the United States and It costs them a bomb but they tell me it is well worth it.
from the Health funds which keeps them busy but they don't stop there.
They use Facebook and Twitter as well as Newsletters and birthday greetings.
They engage in local sponsorship and community activities to show a responsible side.
Naturally, they SMS and confirm appointments and keep in contact.
have a constant need to keep new traffic coming in the door.
placed above the fold, a few smiling and happy faces complete the picture. It is simple but tells a story.
The whole ensemble has a great feeling and no one would hesitate to call them.
So what more could I offer them?
client focus that adds that one more bit of value. It also saves the staff a lot of time.
I shall write a later blog on the success of this medium as we build the usage.
customer delivery but it remains mostly outside the ability of the local dentist.
There is a lot that you can do yourself and with your daily staff.
Google + is a given and must do for any local business and is easy to set up.
Just log in and follow the directions, it is a free service.
send people to you and at no cost.
above the fold or when you google the site,' it is clearly visible.
your main people listed on Linkedin.
That's all free stuff other than your time but now to spend a bit of money.
no shows patients and is an absolute necessity.
One good money saver for the thrifty is to email your client and ask for a response. When you don't get a reply then fire up the SMS. This starts about three days prior to the appointment so that you know they won't forget.
will build a client base that is loyal and bring in a complete family environment.
Cost depends on the volume of messages but between $40 and $60 a month. In fact, I can get you a couple of months free by clicking here.
You can also learn more on how to construct a newsletter here also at no charge as at this date.
The idea of the newsletter is to educate and create demand. I believe that you should have four main focuses with a newsletter.
1) Reduce the time between visits, Every six months is optimal.
Obtain everyone in the family as customers. So many of us have different Dentist choices.
Start them young and keep them coming.
Informing your clients on special products to create high-end sales.
you have a speciality it is hard to differentiate from the 50 or so competitors in a capture area.
Building your core of customers will provide the flow of big-ticket items along the journey.
One more area is that of referrals. This is used in many businesses and there is no reason it should not work in the Dental industry.
Offer an incentive to change for those family members that you do not see.
The risk of not doing this is to lose your client to another group.
To give away a free clean and check is a small price to pay for a long-term customer. Do up some vouchers and hand them out where you know other family members are not your client. Send them home his / hers tooth pack and an invitation to try out your service. If you don't ask you don't get.
Last if not least make them your friends. Most of us hate a Dental visit and I still find it a traumatic experience after my many years of care. The most important point is how I am made to feel as I walk out the door having suffered at the hands of a kind and caring Dentist.
Online training a must do!
I know many businesses that think online training is not for them.
Because you are a great mechanic or a great Hairdresser or a fabulous range of clothes, jewellery or even a service guy/ gal that's good enough to get you by. People will just come and you can do your great work unworried because you are the One.
First of all, let me tell you-you're wrong. Those great identities you see in businesses have become great because of good marketing.
Marketing that tells the capture area an intriguing story that makes them want to be with you due to some important point of difference.
Since there is a Mechanic in every suburb and possibly a few more how do you become the hero of this story and attract a crowd to your door?
Welcome the kingmaker, I will take you by the hand and show you ways to brand your business above the others, furthermore make you stand out and grow like crazy.
Let's first look at what you do that is special. You might be a family mechanic, A cheap mechanic, a VW specialist, a dyno tune guy or even part of a franchise, but you must do something that has your signature written all over it.
It may well be location, a convenience thing, hence something that makes you stand out from the crowd. It might be a speciality or technology or even car brand.
This is really simple if you have a USP (unique selling proposition).
What do you do best, what is unique about your business, why do people come and see you?
The easy parts to start are a Facebook page and Linkedin page and there are lots of instructions to do this.
The hard part is regular posting to obtain a following and some likes and shares, but one share can create business for you. It is not every day, but when you have a look at the business leaders they are all there plugging away.
A really good example of this was the recent USA elections where now President Trump used Facebook and Twitter to capture a market at a winning margin and at under half the cost of mainstream marketing. President Trump a businessman used solid business principles to gather his followers. The difference was that he used today's media and not what worked in the past.
He also used Newsletters, emails, SMS broadcasts and messaging as low-cost avenues to gather subscribers. Interestingly, his cost per action (voter) has been just over $5.00.
If you could get a new buyer at five bucks worth of marketing you could be a winner too.
In my courses at Newbusinessonline we provide instructions and ways to achieve this without breaking the bank.
I know of one business that sent out 130 SMS messages at a cost of just $26.00 and achieved new bookings of around 30 clients. What's more, the Dollar return was near to $9000.
Another client sent out newsletters at $60 a month and has achieved nearly double the monthly sales.
My local Fish shop sends a regular email with specials. The latest was fish Tacos with chips. Now I am a regular takeaway Friday person and swap between Italian, Indian, Thai and occasionally Fish. I received the mail at 4 pm and was lined up with the others by 6.30 I had no intentions of doing this until prompted by a single email.
Think how grateful you will be when a simple, low-cost exercise delivers outstanding results and you my friend become the hero of the day.
If you are not using the best of the internet because you are uncertain or think it is too hard then let me take you by the hand and go step by step to a result. I will even throw in some free actions to get you going.
Where is it at? Go to www.newbusinessonline.net for your free journey.

There is always great danger when politicians begin talk about working together, listening to the opposition or reconciliation. Thailand is certainly no exception to the difference in rhetoric and results- the elected party (PT) is introducing reconciliation bills in Parliament to bring the country back together. And the bills will bring back past PM Thaksin.
I won't attempt to summarize the three reconciliation bills put forward, but reconciling they are not.
There is a picture from Parliament as the opposition (Dems) react to news of a vote on the bills. And the yellow shirts (of airport closure and instigating the coup that drove Thaksin from office fame) have taken to the streets outside Parliament.
Power, many and responsibility are not going to be reconciled through these bills. And hard to see how this is good for Thailand.

Description of the event We organized FADFED activity with United Nations Volunteer during International Volunteer Day additionally to (fadfed + For9a ) both, topic were about volunteerism, motives and obstacles. FADFED volunteers were committed although the environment were uncomfortable due to limitation in space. the best advantage were marketing of FADFED as it was the only initiative who really had something to practice during the IVD event.
- because i love my country, i wish the best for it, and i love volunteering.
- A question worth asking: As long as there is Volunteer work and everything is provided, then why is the situation that bad.


Thread: Are Labs considered a Large Breed Dog?
I would love to hear opinions on this subject. Are Labradors really considered a Large Breed Dog?
I am assuming for slow growth etc.
Do Labs really need to be fed a Large Breed puppy food?
Labs, Goldens, etc are large breed. Great Dane, Mastiffs are classified as Giant Breed. It goes by weight usually, then depends kind of who you ask. Like AKC vs UKC etc, however medium breed say 25-50lbs Some have it 30 lbs as minimum, some have 60 has maximum but all around that area. Large breed are going to be 50-100 lbs again some say min is wherever their medium leaves off so could be anywhere between 50-60, and maximums are 90-110 lbs, anything over the maximum is going to be giant breed.
This is based kind of on the breed average weight as you can have larger and smaller dogs of the same breed as I have known labs that were not overweight fat but large in the 130lb range and smaller labs in the 50lb range, but most labs run in the large breed weight class.
I think it all depends on what your ranges are. Small, Medium, Large, Labs would be Medium. Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, Labs would be Large.
I was at a fast food place a while back, and ordered a small fry. Counter help tells me they don't have small. I ask what do you have. She says medium, large, x-large. I ask her how can you have a medium if you don't have a small???? Got the millennial blank stare.
I forgot about the category of "Giant Breeds" and that makes perfect sense that Great Danes and Mastiffs are considered Giant Breeds.
But..I never looked at my Lab as a large breed.
Barry...that's a funny story about the small fries...lol!
I had one Lab that I considered Large....Brutus was 90 lbs. at good weight. So were my Akitas.
Hershey and Baffle were both 75 and Honey was 65. I considered them Medium...but none had the stockier show build and heavier coat. 75 lbs. of great breeding most likely would have struck me as Large.
Sunnie and Danny are 42 and 37 lbs., respectively. I consider them Medium.
Barry ~ my standard order is "the smallest size you have". That blank stare goes hand in glove with not being able to make change.
I love messing with them making change. After they ring up my stuff I'll hand them a bill which they enter in to the computer and tells them what to give me back, about that time I'll give them some random change which makes them have to calculate it in their head. Seldom goes well and I usually have to tell them what to give me. Mind you I only do this when no one is in line behind me, but it is pretty fun!
We had bullmastiffs for several years and got a lab because we wanted a smaller dog, which seems funny to me now since I don't think of labs as especially small. The bull mastiffs were 120-140 pounds, Chase topped out at about 85-90 pounds.
One of our lab breeders (of the male) said to use regular ProPlan puppy food, then switch to regular ProPlan adult at about 4 -5 months of age. The other breeder (of the smaller female) said to use ProPlan Large Breed Adult food starting at 4 months, after starting out on regular ProPlan puppy food. I guess it depends upon the breeder and what (s)he believes works for their particular line. I just go with the breeder's recommendation and try not to overthink whether they're one size or another, as long as they're doing well on whatever they're eating.
According to the standard, they are a Medium-sized dog.
Large breed food isn't necessary.
Took the thought right out of my head, no opinion or vote needed, they are a medium sized breed.


Projectors are a useful tool when presentations and meetings are being held. They are an incredibly useful tool when visual images are needed for the presentation. They are also incredibly useful for education purposes. The furniture that we have available here are designed for the purpose of holding such tools and making sure that the most can be made of your projectors. They range from folding designs, which optimises storage capabilities and there are also mobile stands available allowing for the movement of the stand, in case it is needed elsewhere.
Great potential and splendid quality, the designs will be what you are looking for. The delivery of these items is also free to the mainland UK.


Looks like Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) is going to have a huge battle on his hands when Burn Notice makes its much-anticipated return from hiatus later this summer. Rather, he's going to have to battle a huge man.
WWE's Big Show (né Paul Donald Wight Jr.) will appear in the show's fourth episode as Griffin Black, a low-IQ lowlife who works as a hired hand for more dangerous foes, EW has been told exclusively. The character description describes him as a 6'6″, 300-pound "monster of a man who looks like a grizzly bear that just escaped from the zoo" with a rap sheet as vast as it is troubling (robbery to indecent exposure).
The guest spot marks the wrestler's second acting gig on the USA network. He previously appeared on last season of Royal Pains. Burn Notice returns June 23.

"Premier Wall says that if standing up for your industry and your province is showboating, take me to the bridge."—Brad Wall's response to Rachel Notley's comment that Wall was "showboating" on the eve of the premiers' meeting.
Brad Wall is the second provincial premier (Jim Prentice was the first) who tried to take a bite out of Rachel Notley and ended up crumpled on the floor.
The brouhaha started when Mr Wall said Ms Notley had given Quebec a de facto veto of future pipelines when she said Quebec would support such pipelines if Alberta demonstrates it's taking real action on climate change and environmental protection.
This, he said, was a rejection of the principles of Confederation and a failure to stand up for industry. He argued that if nothing else, forking over $10 billion in equalization payments to the have-not provinces should shut them up.
He said he felt like Homer Simpson in the episode where Homer wanted to buy a gun but was told he had to wait five days. "Five days, but I'm mad now."* Okay, Mr Wall is angry but did he have to pick the rampaging shooter analogy?
Mr Wall decided to attend the premiers' meeting after all. Originally he was going to stay home to deal with the forest fires. Presumably he realized that unless he was going to grab a fire hose they could spare him for a couple of days.
And guess what. At the end of the day all 13 provincial and territorial leaders, including the truculent Mr Wall, signed off on the Canadian Energy Strategy.
The Canadian Energy Strategy is long on visionary statements and short on details…but it's a start.
The provinces agreed to collaborate on their regulatory and environmental practices but unless the feds step up to the plate, the provinces will not be able to deliver on a critical objective—to cut regulatory red tape or significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions—because pipelines carrying oilsands bitumen or natural gas destined for American or Asian markets require NEB approval.
And the NEB is a federal regulatory agency beyond the reach of any provincial government.
In an effort to overcome the limitations arising from the constitutional division of powers, the premiers crafted a clever work-around.
They want a seat at the table when the feds engage in international negotiations, agreements and forums on energy and climate change issues.
This is brilliant given the Prime Minister's propensity for negotiating trade deals that allow foreign corporations to sue Canada if the provinces pass environmental legislation that reduces a foreign corporation's profits.
No doubt this objective will go down like a lead balloon with Our Dear Leader…but it may be more acceptable to his replacement come October.
Ironically, Brad Wall fretted that Alberta was rewriting the Constitution by giving a de facto pipeline veto to other provinces when in reality it's Prime Minister Harper who should be worried by the provinces' desire to encroach on the federal domain.
See what happens when you refuse to acknowledge premiers' meetings—the provinces lay siege to 24 Sussex Drive.
Mr Wall may have signed the Canadian Energy Strategy but he's not happy.
He says the West should stop apologizing for its resources and stop being diplomatic about its message. Perhaps he can suggest a suitably belligerent alternative?
He bemoans the fact that all we've got to show for our goodwill is the National Energy Program (good lord, that old chestnut) and "precisely no pipelines" have been approved (well, except TCPL's Keystone XL pipeline and Enbridge's Northern Gateway,** approved by the NEB in Mar 2009 and June 2014 respectively).
Mr Wall concludes that more Canadians would support the Energy East pipeline if they knew it would end foreign imports from places like Venezuela and Saudia Arabia. (How? Energy East will export bitumen to overseas markets. No one can force producers to sell their product within Canada if they can get a better price elsewhere).
It's time for Mr Wall to get off the bridge of the showboat and go down to the brig. There he can study the tape of the Notley/Prentice debate. He'll soon learn that cheap shots will get him absolutely nowhere with the little blonde premier from Alberta.
**Northern Gateway was approved subject to 209 conditions that Al Monaco, Enbridge's CEO, is prepared to satisfy.

**Northern Gateway was approved subject to 209 conditions that Al Monaco, Enbridge's CEO, is prepared to satisfy." Good luck, Al, -especially with Christy Clark's five deal-breaking conditions, and environmentalists, First Nations and a majority of British Columbians adamantly opposed!
Unfortunately NEB approvals have lost all credibility and no one accepts their decisions because dilbit is ignored and the verdict is pre-ordained.
ABCanuck you nailed it. One needs look no further than the Enbridge spill into the Kalamazoo River for proof that diluted bitumen is not physically and chemically indistinguishable from other heavy crude oils. After spilling 3.3 million litres of dilbit into the Kalamazoo River they made a startling discovery–it sinks. Years after the spill the EPA ordered Enbridge to go back in and do more dredging because it still wasn't cleaned up to the EPA's satisfaction.
And yes the NEB has become a sham regulator. The final decision on whether a pipeline is approved rests with the federal government, not the regulator and we all know which way they're going to go.
And people like Brad Wall wonder why the industry doesn't have the public's wholehearted support?
The NEB is a rubber stamp on political agreements. The deals are made before they go to the NEB. Example would be Highway 19 involving the Edmonton International Airport. The Airport put up a million bucks to help fund the movement of that highway.
The twinning of this killer highway was put on ice behind McMurray's main highway and another high traffic oil highway in southern Alberta.
All parties can claim waiting for NEB approval.
All tankers are not created equal. Modern tankers have double hulls. A 36″ of air space between the outer hull and the inner hull with lots of reinforcing between the two. This is distinguished in the licensing of the tankers and is available on public record. Laws could be in place to restrict passage or loading to only double hull tankers!
The best option in my mind is to follow Oberg's lead (never thought I would hear myself say that) and use the rail corridor to Prince Rupert to put in a new pipeline. The port itself is the attraction! There is nothing else like it in North America or the world as far as I know. A sheer cliff face reaching hundreds of meters below the surface!
Super tankers draw about 90 feet loaded. The space below a loaded supertanker would be thousands of feet! All hazards non existent.
Kinder Morgan, Rachel's choice looked at the money on the table. At the time it was costing 2.50 per barrel to ship oil by rail and .50 to ship by pipeline so Kinder picked a high price. Blackmail is what I call it. Only one of the major oil companies Syncrude complained publicly about the rip off. But Notley in her wisdom has given her support. I can only hope someone got a deal for Alberta out of this.
The reason I mentioned the NEB in the first place was to indicate that for all of Brad Wall's griping he didn't have his facts straight. But then again, he's a politician and most of them don't let the facts interfere with their rhetoric and in Harper's case he makes sure that we can't get our hands on the facts by systematically destroying the agencies that gather them. It's outrageous behavior in a country that prides itself on being a democracy.
I posted this earlier on the Edmonton Sun where people were trashing her stand on pipelines because she said they were safer or perhaps trashing is all they can do. Your readers may find this interesting however.
I agree with Notley's assessment 100%. Gasoline in your tank has an additive FISK or chromium that allows static electricity to bleed off to the side of your tank harmlessly. With the additional safeguards at the pumps (baffles and shrouds around the nozzle do very well if used properly at controlling the vapor area. Rich vapors are okay but the lean ones especially at our low temperature tend to go bang in the dark.
Pipelines have anticipated this and bleed off the static charge that is built up from movement of the petroleum through the lines with zinc grounding. We have spills, and not explosions!
If you must worry; worry about how fast we can get the crude off the rail cars which are deadly unsafe because of their vulnerability when they tip over and spill. The crude oil has no such additives in them and will continue to build and build a static charge in the tanks. When they go over they light up or not. But, its not from good management. It is the state of the air space at the spill point. If it is a rich vapour area we get a free ride. If it is a lean vapor area (as in a breeze or a wind) we may not be so lucky.
We should all be supporting pipelines for our crude. Think of this when another village or town is devastated.
Agreed cyberclark, given the choice between pipelines or rail cars it's always safer to go with pipelines. Having said that I support efforts to move us away from a carbon intensive economy but it will take a while and requires careful thought in order not to gut the economy.
I wouldn't worry too much about that now, I don't think Harper will be running confederation for much longer.
Brent, I marvel at how skillfully Rachel puts these loons in their place. Without naming anyone in particular she responded to Wall's criticisms by calling for "intelligent, thoughtful, mature dialogue", leaving no doubt in my mind who had engaged in a silly, thoughtless, immature rant. Chalk another one up to Rachel.

« Mrs Theresa May - A Correction and a Clarification | Main | A Debate at Canterbury »
Anomalies, Paradoxes and False Parallels, the IRA, Syria ,Ukraine and Hong Kong
I'm not sure what has happened to the Hong Kong protests, though I cannot believe we have heard the last of them. One contributor criticized me for (as he thought) supporting these protests, claiming this was incompatible with my attitude towards the mobs in Kiev last winter.
This gives me the pretext for another discussion of title, legitimacy and the huge difference between democracy and freedom.
This Ukraine-Hong Kong comparison is a strange parallel – as is the one made by another critic, who suggests that my desire for a negotiated end to the Syrian chaos is incompatible with my disapproval of the British surrender to the IRA. I do not believe that Northern Ireland can now truly be described as a law-governed entity, or that Britain's relations with it are unpolluted by the contact. It is necessary to lie and to conceal, to maintain the illusion that this is a civilized peace – and many people lie to themselves and conceal wicked things from themselves. These are the ones who are most annoyed when I refuse to accept the lies, or leave the evil hidden.
The IRA was and remains a violent gang dedicated to the use of murder and violence to overthrow properly constituted lawful authority. There never ought to be any compromise between lawful authority and criminal gangs. Such a compromise does not legitimize the criminals; it corrupts the lawful state, and I think the subsequent treatment of the IRA by the British state, and our concessions to that body, are a series of demonstrations of this truth.
The Syrian rebels, though I suspect they were, from the first, infiltrated by Sunni fanatics, were attempting a violent overthrow of a violent and repressive regime, which has always rested on force, and draws its only legitimacy from the fact that it is the successor (via a putsch in 1963, and a putsch within the putsch in 1966) of the French colonial creation of Syria.
The 1963 putsch is now so long ago that it is getting a bit hard to argue that the current Damascus government is not established. But its establishment rests ultimately on force, not law. This could of course be said of most existing states (Britain having been subject to a bloodless but armed coup in 1688, the USA having been established by a lawless rebellion in 1776, and as for Russia, France and Germany, what can I say?) but time does tend to lend legitimacy to almost anything. It's just that there's no official set limit.
That colonial creation of Syria by France was recognized by the League of Nations and subsequently by the UN as a legitimate state, so it had technical legitimacy even if one might argue about the legal status of any of the entities carved out of the Ottoman Empire by western military force in 1918.
It's possible to argue that any rebellion against the Assad State is at least partially justified by the violence of the regime and its lack of any means of free expression. But the Christian view, that even the overthrow of foul regimes by well-intentioned persons is morally risky, is often borne out in practice. Certainly the horrible fate of millions of Syrians, their happy lives ruined forever, their homes and hopes lost, their wealth wiped out, is a strong argument against insurrection.
I don't myself believe that either side in the Syrian conflict is legitimate or good. I doubt the motives of the rebels, and suspect they were, from the first, backed by outside forces who had no concern for the wellbeing of actually Syrians. But I think that the lives of ordinary people were immeasurably better before anyone tried to overthrow the Assad state. And I also think that it was and is an illusion to believe that the rebels against Assad would have turned Syria into a paradise of gentleness and tolerance.
To support a negotiated peace in Syria is simply to call for an end to suffering. There is no simple choice between good and bad, lawful and lawless, civilized and uncivilized. In any case, I made the point to emphasize the fact that Syria's 'opposition' has been uninterested in compromise, and seems happy to continue the war until the whole country is a ruin. I suspect the Assad state, by contrast, would make significant concessions to stay in power. But the rebels insist that Assad must go, knowing (I am sure) that he will not.
Back to Hong Kong, and the alleged Kiev parallel. Actually, my critic gets me wrong when he thinks I support these demonstrations. I think them hopeless, unrealistic and doomed and would be afraid of encouraging the former Colony's young people into a confrontation they can only lose. Hong Kong's long-term fate was decided when the British Empire was defeated in Singapore in 1942. From that moment, it was only a matter of time before China recovered its lost sovereignty.
The idea that Peking would ever allow full representative democracy in Hong Kong is absurd, and in any case Britain never allowed it, perhaps because of fears of mainland propaganda leading to heavy Communist influence in whatever elected bodies might result.
The deal between Peking and London is not for all time. All the documents make it clear that Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China, and that ultimately China decides what happens there. But the blow is softened by postponement . The agreement provides for a transition period (ending in 2047) during which two systems operate in China. China has never had any intention of allowing Hong Kong's freedoms and laws to spread into China, let alone of allowing Hong Kong to be become even more free during the transition period than it was at the beginning.
On the contrary, Peking obviously plans and hopes for Hong Kong to become slowly less free. My understanding is that this has already begun, especially in the press, where critical voices have grown rarer since the handover. No formal process has taken place. But editors have been aware that they are being observed by cold, unsympathetic eyes to the North. By the way, Hong Kong is culturally very different from most of China. This is partly because the majority language is Cantonese rather than Mandarin, the tongue of Peking. But it is also because it never underwent the Cultural Revolution or the Mao Revolution, so religious and other traditions survive which have more or less been stamped out elsewhere on the mainland.
Undoubtedly the growing power of Peking over Hong Kong will also affect the bureaucracy, the police and the judiciary, Britain's main legacies to Hong Kong. One might expect these to become less incorrupt, less independent of the state and less open.
As this becomes more and more apparent, I fear there will be convulsions. These will be either hopeless or tragic, as the moralising interveners who control foreign policy know perfectly well that the heroic, swaggering 'West' – master of all it surveys in Sierra Leone, Kosovo and Iraq(or not) is puny in the face of Chinese wealth and military power. The problem is that those who have grown up under the rule of law and possessing free speech and a free press are not all like the British, who casually let these things be abolished by their own rulers.
They are grieved at their losses, and will seek to preserve their liberties. That is why we are in the shaming position we are in, where we understand their plight, and inwardly sympathize with it, but would be wicked and wrong to encourage them on to the streets to try to defend it, because they will be beaten, and worse.
But their cause, even so, is more noble than that of the Kiev protesters, manipulated by one foreign power to be the spearhead in the offensive against another foreign power, ignorant armies strung along with empty promises of prosperity and freedom from corruption, which have not and never will come to pass.
I have travelled through Hong Kong many times, always on my way somewhere else ( usually to and from mainland China, though also to and from Japan and North Korea). I don't claim to know it well. I love its old-fashioned British street names, its salty ocean air and its ferries ( for anyone Portsmouth-bred, a ferry is a special joy), but always have to think hard before being certain I have the map the right way up. But it was also the place where I learned something which has never left me .
Why exactly, I wondered, was it so different from mainland China? It wasn't democratic (anything but). Yet it was immeasurably more free, better-ordered, cleaner, safer, more efficient. It was then that it first came to me that liberty of speech and press, and the rule of law, were far more valuable possessions than the thing we call 'democracy'.
I still don't know what will happen to Hong Kong's law and liberty. I have assumed for years that it all hinges on what happens to Taiwan. Peking hopes above all to bring Taiwan (which is democratic) back under its rule. Many influences bear on that process, one of them being the slow but definite weakening of American military power in the region. But if Peking's absorption of Hong Kong turns nasty, then any chance Taiwan can be gently enticed back into the national embrace will be destroyed. So as long as sane and cautious men rule in the secret Zhongnanhai compound in Peking, China will try to be gentle and patient (in its own eyes, not ours) with Hong Kong. But already, that gentleness and patience (as Peking sees them) are beginning to look (to us) like something a good deal more menacing. That's no surprise. But we will do nothing, because we cannot.
And we will say little, because in our hearts we know that we long ago ceased to be the moral arbiters of the planet, whatever we pretend. .
Our moral windbags are too exhausted with attacks on tiny figures such as Slobodan Milosevic or Saddam Hussein or Bashar Assad. Could this actually be *because* they despise themselves for kow-towing in their hearts to Xi Jinping, the tyrant of tyrants? Could all this moralising about small despots be a substitute for the real thing? I have no idea, being uninterested in moralising about foreign countries . Liberty begins at home, and I'm more interested in Teresa May's wild plans for 'extremists' and in the police invading my telephone records, to be worried about civil liberties in Hong Kong. We lost all that when we lost the empire. Time to realise it.

Alright. a nice rack of ribs at a Harvester. Mr Thomas on video .
@ Mr Thomas .
I thought you struggled with my comments . But true enough a video of Sid and I ,far more interesting that You and I

Have you never noticed the memorial in the grounds of St Philip's Cathedral, Colmore Row, Birmingham?
Posted by: Jack | 12 October 2014 at 10:46 PM
No, I wasn't aware of it but thank you very much for the information. I don't get around as much these days but the next time I'm in Birmingham I'll make a point of visiting the cathedral.

Sid: If "national tradition" dictated my religious beliefs I'd be one of the many whining bores in Ireland who blame all the country's ills, real and imaginary, on the Catholic Church. That's certainly the literary, artistic, political and journalistic tradition of modern Ireland - the culture I grew up in.

Were you to ever sit down to dinner with Sid, a video recording - which could be accessed by readers - would, I feel, prove wonderful entertainment. You could regale him with tales of your time as a mercenary (?) in Vietnam, your later career as a 'minder' (did you ever mind the top blokes in the BNP?) and your views on the way ahead. In return, Sid could describe in detail his angelic visitations...
It could provide the basis of a future hit comedy, something on the lines of Citizen Kane, perhaps?

I see the BBC are reporting this morning that Blair is pushing heretical and (dangerous) Vatican policy.....
"A global drive is needed to tackle the roots of extremism by making education systems in all countries teach respect for other religions, Tony Blair says.
The former UK prime minister said it was "foolish" to spend billions on a military fight with Islamic extremism if intolerance is left "undisturbed".
As a matter of "urgent global importance", he wants schools to teach "the virtue of religious respect".
This should be made a "common global obligation", said Mr Blair."
The choice , dinner with Alan Thomas, or dinner with Sid . Well its really a no brainer .Sid every time. Even though both are very very, naughty boys. Sid's naughtiness is not contrived . Just an honest belief
Whereas Mr Thomas's is far more insidious pun not intented.
Now you're being naughty again. I have asked you before not to reply in 'quotation speak', and what do I get?
Posted by: Alan Thomas | 14 October 2014 at 07:04 PM
Sid,
That's enough religious bores. Hitchens 22:9:2014.
Alan Thomas " I hope you have your excuses ready when the time comes..."
The idea of tolerance of heresy is alien to the Gospel.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35"For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW" Matt 10:34
Was not Peter debating against his brother?
I love my mother but she is a Catholic. The Truth trumps 'tolerance'. The cowardly are tolerant, the dumbed down.
Alan Thomas "You're a very naughty man. Most of the present problems in this world are due to people who stir the religious pot in the way you do."
The way I do?
I am against heirachel forms of religion or institutional churches, I believe in a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus.
All the problems we have in the world is due to theological naivety and (political) religion, the desire for earthly power, the carnal mind, the devil.
Islam would not even exist if the early Roman Catholic Church had not financed its armies in North Africa.
Colm J "Sid: Not British - Irish."
So you are Roman Catholic out of national tradition then. It is tradition that is the hardest thing to give up, it is like the most addictive drug known to man. Tradition is one of the 666 words in the Bible.
3862 paradosis {par-ad'-os-is}= tradition = 666
p=80 a=1 r=100 o=70 s=200 i=10 s=200= 666
Where you can find them...
Matt 15:2-3, 6;
Mark 7:3, 5, 8- 9, 13;
1 Cor 11:2;
Gal 1:14;
Col 2:8;
2 Thess 2:15; 3:6
Colm J "As for the EU: its agenda is clearly anti-Catholic and indeed anti-Christian. I sympathise very strongly with British people's desire to regain "
Take a look at Revelation 17:3, the woman riding the beast is mother Church riding on the political power of Europe.
Sid: Not British - Irish. Sinn Fein, as you may know, now have several representatives in the Irish Dail. When I noted in a previous comment on this thread that Sinn Fein were pro-immigration I was referring to their policies in relation to the Republic of Ireland, so your theory that they are working to swamp Protestant lands doesn't compute. Southern Ireland has a far higher rate of immigration than Northern Ireland. Indeed proportionally the Republic's immigration rate, both legal and illegal, is far greater than even that of the British mainland - although - quite surreally - the Irish media and political class choose to ignore this massive influx. (intriguingly this silence also applies to the Irish versions of British newspapers that take a strong anti-immigrant stance in relation to Britain).
By the way you seem to be under the misapprehension that most immigrants to Britain and Northern Ireland are Catholics. Some are, many are not.
As I also pointed out, Sinn Fein are an openly anti-Catholic party, so the theory that they're tools of the Vatican is ludicrously at odds with the facts. Like most other corporate left of centre parties (including the Tories, I would say) Sinn Fein's policies bear the clear imprint of the cultural Marxist agenda of oligarchs like George Soros, Bill Gates, Chuck Feeney and so on. As for the EU: its agenda is clearly anti-Catholic and indeed anti-Christian. I sympathise very strongly with British people's desire to regain their political and economic independence (as manifested in UKIP's rise) but those who believe the Catholic Church is the driving force of EU tyranny have been led a merry diversionary dance.

You're a very naughty man. Most of the present problems in this world are due to people who stir the religious pot in the way you do. I hope you have your excuses ready when the time comes...
Incidentally, why do folk like you invariably hide behind code-terms such as "the Vatican" and "the Jesuits"? Why not just for once spell out your real target - the Catholic Church? Or would that be giving the game away?
Because the Catholic church has genuine God fearing people within her, but the Vatican is a corrupt and vile political city state that plots against governments all ove the world.
Interesting logic. Sinn Fein certainly do welcome illegals (which, amongst other things, makes a nonsense of their claims to be a nationalist movement),
Colm J, you are British? You are clearly an intelligent man, why would you be involved in a European plot, along with Sin Fein to flood a Protestant country with so many immigrants that take ultimate allegiance to the Vatican, that our Protestant culture is guaranteed to be destroyed and increasingly the EU will inevitably be able to usurp power and authority? Tell me why, when even a cursory glance at the Bible will demonstrate they are not teaching what God commands?
It makes no sense to me at all. I can understand how old ladies, like my grandmother, were misled by authority figures to trust in men like this and not really investigate the matter with an enquiring mind and people who are too busy in life and tragically think it not important, but you are an intelligent reasoning man.
I was once a Catholic, indeed I am half irish, so what is your motivation I am genuinely puzzled?
Sid: "Openly supportive of more Vatican foreign policy. And who welcomes even illegal immigrants with open arms? Sinn Fein, because they know what the plot is."
Interesting logic. Sinn Fein certainly do welcome illegals (which, amongst other things, makes a nonsense of their claims to be a nationalist movement), but then again Loyalist paramilitaries "welcome" immigrants in the very literal sense of the word, i.e., colluding with other international criminal networks - such as the Russian mafia - to traffic them. Many of these illegals make their way to the Republic of Ireland, by the way. Are these loyalist factions also part of a Vatican plot?
Brian Meredith,
Sinn Fein/IRA terrorism may have been marketed in the USA as a war, hardly surprising since successive American governments and a great many US journalists were openly supportive of the IRA
Openly supportive of more Vatican foreign policy.
And who welcomes even illegal immigrants with open arms? Sinn Fein, because they know what the plot is.
Mike Barnes "You sound surprised Sid. I knew this back in the seventies. My Angel trumping yours"
More a case of age not angels. I was knee high to a grasshopper in the 70s.
Brian Meredith: "Successive U.S governments and many U.S journalists were openly supportive of the IRA."
Could you offer some concrete facts to support this statement? And by the way those who were in Dublin city centre on the day British terrorists murdered 24 innocent Irish citizens will not forget that day in a hurry either. Nor will the witnesses to British loyalist massacres such as Loughinisland and Greysteel forget those grim episodes - although the corporate media in Britain, Ireland, and yes, the U.S., have done their very best to airbrush them from history..
I suggest had Hitler won the war ,then Siberia might well have been a place dear to his heart .for ridding himself of his enemies. But the war was lost. So Stalin used it to send those he didn't like. Mining salt and other minerals.
Just a few days ago film was shown of complete divisions of Polish soldiers surrendering to The Germans . What the film showed was thousands of Poles tucking in to a hot meal . supplied by those nasty Nazis.
I'm really not on a Pro Nazi crusade here .Just making notes of how history gets ambushed. And how history blamed the Nazi's for the Kaytin Forest, slaughter of the Polish elite officer cadre's, amongst others
@ Elaine
The naughty chair is in the ownership of Mr Hitchens . You must therefore pose this question to him, not I.
@ Sid
You sound surprised Sid. I knew this back in the seventies. My Angel trumping yours . His name by the by is "common sense". Their name ."The long game". As is surmised by our precious MSM one thousand an counting already there , How many here. 5,000. 10.000. 50.000. Who can possibly know .Our Government and intelligence service, no chance.

An augmented two-disc recapitulation of the mammoth triple-vinyl ANTHOLOGY released in the mid '70s, this 44-track set is the best place to start for any Temptations fan. Collecting all of their chart singles from "The Way You Do the Things You Do" through the early '80s collaboration with Rick James, "Standing on the Top," this is like a one-band history of soul. The Temptations had a remarkable ability to change with the times, moving from the slick soul of the Holland-Dozier-Holland years to the grittier sound of the Norman Whitfield era and from the sweet-voiced Eddie Kendricks to the growly David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards. The tunes speak for themselves. There was no better vocal group in pop music history than the Temptations, and ANTHOLOGY is the most concise and satisfying way to discover their magic.
