Breakdown Quotes
The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says I; The leader says WE. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, GO; the leader says Lets GO!
— Harry Gordon Selfridge

On Saturday night last a very enjoyable function took place in The Gold Coast Hotel to mark the 50th anniversary of the club winning the County Intermediate Football Title and take our place in the ranks of Senior Football for the first time. It was great to see so many people in attendance and all agreed that it was a very enjoyable evening.
On behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate Martin Lavan and Emma Coleman who were married last weekend. We wish them both many years of happiness together.

Abbeyside / Ballinacourty GAA Club will be a host club for Féile na nGael in June next year. On Monday, 28th December the club will be running a doubles pool tournament to help raise funds for the event. Entry fee is €10 per person. Please see poster below for details.
On Saturday night last at the Gold Coast Hotel a very pleasant function took place to honour the Ballinacourty team that won the County Intermediate Football Championship in 1965, 50 years ago. The comprehensive 3-9 to 1-0 win over Rathgormack saw the club promoted to the senior ranks for the first time. It was great to see so many of the players looking hale and hearty on the night while thoughts were also of those who have gone to their eternal reward since that breakthrough victory. Thanks to all involved in organising such an enjoyable occasion.
This week's photo shows the Abbeyside team that was defeated by Mount Sion, 7-11 to 2-13, in the 1969 County Senior Hurling Championship Final played at Walsh Park in October. At half time the Villagers led by 2-10 to 3-5 before the city men took charge and inflicted our fourth defeat since 1955 in a hurling decider.
On Thursday night last, our club welcomed the Wanderers Australian Rules U15 and U16 teams to the Burgery for two games under lights against Ballinacourty's age equivalent players. The rules were a hybrid of Gaelic Football and Australian Rules and the games proved to be very entertaining with tremendous skill on display from both panels. Three of the four quarters were played with the round ball while the final period saw the oval ball being used. We would like to thank the Australian players, mentors and parents for their visit and wish them a safe journey home. Thanks to Audrey Hallahan for providing us with the photos below which are a wonderful record of the event.

Packie was praised for the work he put into not alone preparing the accounts for the AGM, but for the work he put into the club finances all year. Next on the agenda was the Secretary's Report and once again Jonathan O'Donovan produced a very detailed report on all areas of club activity during 2015. All in the club are aware of the many hours put in by Jonathan in administering the club business and we are fortunate to have somebody so diligent carrying out this role.
Committee: Niamh Enright, Pa McGovern, Jim O'Mahony, Audrey Hallahan, Joe Cleary, Brendan Mansfield, Michael O'Donovan.

On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of the late Kathleen Woods (nee Organ), Shears Street, Abbeyside who passed away last week. Kathleen's family has many connections with our club for generations on the playing field and they continue to support the club today. Once again we send our sympathies to Kathleen's husband John, daughter Patricia and son Seán on their loss.
We would also like to send our sympathy to the family of the late Kevin Keating, Leamybrien who passed away recently. Kevin was a familiar face to the field workers in the club as he often helped out with maintaining the machinery in the field.

The final under age fixture for the year in the club was concluded on Sunday morning last with a 3-7 to 0-8 win for our Under 15 hurlers against Roanmore, to win the Division 1 County Title. This was a close contest for most of the game with us leading by a point at half time. In the second half our lads played some wonderful hurling to win well in the end. Well done to all the players and mentors that were involved. A word of thanks must go to the parents of the team for their support throughout the year driving to training and to matches etc. Everyone can now enjoy a short break before play for this group resumes early in the New Year.
Congratulations to Garranbane NS who recently won the Schools A Football Western Championship against Ballymacarbry NS. This was a wonderful achievement by all involved and they were due to play the county final yesterday (Tuesday) in Abbeyside against Ballygunner. At the time of going to print however the result of this match was not available but will be included in next week's notes. A big thank you must go to all the teachers involved in our parish schools who put so much time and effort into the promotion of our national games in their respective schools.
A big thank you to all who supported our table quiz on Friday last to raise funds for the upcoming trip of two Australian rules teams. We would like to thank all those who put together a table for the quiz and all those who donated a spot prize on the night. Also we would like to thank our host on the night Brendan O'Brien for going about his work in his usual professional way. Also thanks to Pat O'Brien in Minnies for providing us with a venue on the night.
Well done to all concerned for a fantastic year.
Further to last week's photo, today we show the scroll awarded to Abbeyside / Ballinacourty GAA Club for being named Waterford 'Club of the Year' in 1970. This was the second year in a row that the award came to the Village.

On Sunday morning last we travelled to Old Parish for the Western Under 15 Hurling Final against a gallant St Oliver's outfit. There was a late venue change as the Fraher Field had played host to many games over the previous twenty four hours. It was a very windy morning in Old Parish and conditions for hurling were far from ideal. However from the start our lads adjusted better to the conditions and over the hour played some good hurling. We won on a score line of 5-9 to St Oliver's 0-7 in the end. Well done to everyone on the panel and to the selectors who have given up much of their valuable time to help this group over the years. We now go on next Sunday morning to face Roanmore in the County Final at an Eastern venue which has yet to be decided. Good luck to all involved again.
Congratulations to our U15 panel and management team on their fantastic 5-9 to 0-7 victory over St. Oliver's in the Western U15 Division 1 Hurling Final at Old Parish this morning. Played in extremely difficult weather and underfoot conditions, the lads led 1-6 to 0-4 at half time. This win completes a divisional double at this grade, the football title secured earlier in the year. The County Final takes place on Sunday next against Roanmore. The venue and time will be confirmed during the week.
On Monday evening last Abbeyside / Ballinacourty was nominated for Waterford Club of the Year, 2015 along with Ballygunner, Modeligo and Stradbally.

Further victories came in 1970, 1979, 2003 and 2007.


Would you like to turn your passion into profits in the shortest possible time, enabling you to live the life of your dreams, while at the same time minimising stress and risk?
With an inspirational and transformational mentor you can achieve this – an d much more!
As a passionate subject matter expert (SME) you will have worked in your specialist field for several years.
You may have always worked in a corporate environment and now want to start a business of your own around your passion.
Or you may already have your own business and now want to take it to the next level.
Be passionate about sharing your knowledge, skills and expertise with others.
Want to get paid handsomely for the privilege of doing so – which is only fair as a return for thousands of hours of work and study you have invested in it.
But how do you go about this? How do you turn your passion into a profitable business? How do you take it to the next level?
If you are just starting out, it might mean stepping out of a salaried role and taking a step into the 'unknown'.
If your business is already up and running you might be stressed by juggling with adequately servicing existing clients while at the same time trying to grow and expand.
At JOI we have all the expertise and practical experience to shine a light into the darkness of the unknown and help you minimise the risk of following your dream.
We have a proven approach through which we connect you with your passion and we have transformational techniques that will enable you to turn your passion into a profitable business, no matter what stage you are currently at.
The work we do with you is not just about the dollars, though these materialise and are a very welcome by-product; it is primarily about making your business an inspirational place to work for you and your whole team.
Who you want to work with – how to identify you ideal client.
What yo do for them.
How you do it better than anyone else.
Why they should trust you.
Identify ways to get you in front of your ideal clients.
Define and build products that will truly fulfil their needs.
Let your ideal clients know how they can start working with you and make it painless for them to do so.
If necessary, help you find ways to transition out of a full-time salaried position into being the fully engaged CEO of your own, exciting business.
It is important that you feel 100% confident that we can deliver on our promises before you start working with us. For this reason, we take the following three-stage approach.
We invite you to read our testimonials and see what our clients say about our ability to deliver. You can find them here.
Would we like working with you and would you like working with us? We firmly believe that our time working together should be as enjoyable and productive as possible for both parties. So, if for whatever reason, either of us finds that there is no resonance or connection between us during this exploratory online session, then we simply say so and amicably end the call.
If, at any time during the first 30 minutes of our first mentoring session, either of us feels that we are not suited to work together, then we will stop the session, cancel your package and refund in full any deposit that you have paid.


Let's start by reviewing, as we apparently must, the table-stakes: Check your grammar and spelling, especially the spelling of my company's name and our brand names. Don't call me "Matt" unless I've said it's okay (and I've never said it's okay, which means I never made it past the second word of many emails). Be professional at all times. These alone won't win you the sale. But getting them wrong can cost you the sale.
Be someone I know, or someone I know of.
When I need help – in other words, when I'm ripe to be sold – I will first ask: With whom have I successfully worked on this kind of problem before? The important point here is that today's excellent work opens tomorrow's doors. If the selling process is a mile long, past performance can set you as close as 10 meters to the finish line. If you're an individual or a firm that continually adds value, I'll find a way to work with you again.
Finally, I'd consider firms that had successfully positioned themselves as leaders in their field. If I believe that you're among that best at solving challenges like mine, of course I'll hear what you have to say.
Email blasts and mass mailings are easy to execute, but largely ineffective. That's because they're impersonal. By definition, they're all about you. And if you want the sale, we should really be talking about me.
The best salespeople I know apply this rule: "Select fewer prospects, and go deeper." The really good ones get to know my business cold before they start selling.
The more you know about me, the better your pitch will be. So do your homework. Ask sharp questions. Talk less. Listen more. Then and only then, it's time to start talking about whether you can help me.
As a CMO, I was often solicited by design firms and ad agencies. The ironic thing: These firms are in the business of differentiating their clients, and yet their own marketing materials are often interchangeable.
By "know yourself," I mean know your positioning – what you stand for, how you're different, what's unique about how you serve. Develop a unique voice and a distinct body of work. If you can't articulate – right now – what makes your firm meaningfully different, how can you expect a prospect to figure it out?
Know something I don't know.
If I'm adding a partner to my team, it's a given that you need to close a gap for me. But this goes beyond just specializing in a field. It means having a real point of view, a distinct approach, a unique insight.
Prior to our first meeting, one design firm studied my category deeply; in that meeting, they presented thoughtful conclusions and whitespace opportunities, which let me know how this firm approached a challenge. Is it a time investment? Sure. Is it more effective than reading me the client list that I already read on your website? Infinitely.
So that's what worked on me. To reiterate: Execs are short on time, and are exhausted by the volume of unsolicited sales contacts they receive. To break through, it helps to be known; to go deep on the prospect; to truly be different; and to offer real value. Otherwise, you'll join the 98% in the reject pile.
Readers, what principles, strategies and tactics have you found to be most effective when selling the C-Suite? Please share your thoughts in a comment below.

Oregon to Florida Suburban Style
Like many of our best made plans, the two weeks in Oregon turned into two months. We ended up leaving not at the end of August, but in October. It took a week to drive cross country to Shell Point, Florida, a quaint little marina on the Gulf of Mexico, just south of Tallahassee, near Crawfordsville, downwind of…never mind.
Our trip was relatively uneventful considering we had three boys under five and Tukes our dog. We had our tv/vcr player strapped in over the folded down second row of seats. The boys were seatbelted and carseated on the back row and for once in their lives could watch as many videos as they wanted. I still know every word to "If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat, eat my buddy Pumba here, he's a tasty treat…" (Lion King for those born in the 21st century).
If you don't count the time we backed out of a parking spot and the side door, which somehow wasn't closed tightly (at all?) opened and Truman in his carseat -- apparently not buckled in -- fell out, it was your basic road trip. The carseat lived up to its reputation and Truman was fine -- but we have suspected that his life-long search for adrenaline-pumping moments began at age one, in a Winn-Dixie parking lot with a frosted croissant in his chubby fist.
It was in Shell Point that we were introduced to the flying bugs called no-see-ums. If you haven't had the pleasure, imagine miniscule mosquitos that can fit through any screen and whose bite leaves an itch that cannot be scratched off. Wind seemed to hamper them, so the closer we were to a sea breeze, the better.
Another perk was the humidity. And I thought Oregon was damp. Despite global warming/cooling/climate change, It was sweaty in 1995 as well. Marty relished the blanket-like heat. I felt like I was breathing through a wet blanket. Fortunately we only had to deal with the heat briefly because a few days after our arrival the weather did a 180 and the panhandle we now called home was plunged into unheard of sub-freezing temperatures.
So why not just head south to warmer beaches? Well, we were in Shell Point because that was where the boat of our dreams was berthed (boat lingo for parked). In other words, this lovely 1985 Gemni 32 catamaran was one we could afford because the owner was so desperate to get rid of it that he would owner finance.
And it needed work and we needed to learn how to sail.

CAQ trolley for in-flight measurements (Cabin Air Quality)
Contents of the CAQ trolley for measuring cabin air quality during flights, equipped with adsorbers for a range of specific substances.
Measuring the cabin air in aircraft with a converted on-board trolley
The ambient air in aircraft cabins is considered by experts to be a "sensitive aspect" because passengers are constantly (passively) exposed to it during a flight. Depending on the flight phase, passengers' activities or the services being carried out, emissions are released into the atmosphere in different ways. Undesirable emissions can also occur for other reasons, e.g. from the bleed air (air from the combustion air stream compressed by the turbo compressor of gas turbines).
With the aid of an autonomous measurement and sampling unit developed at Fraunhofer IBP and approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the air inside aircraft cabins can be extracted and analyzed during actual flights. To optimize its ease of use, the entire unit has been built into a converted on-board trolley. This also enables measurements and sampling steps to be performed inconspicuously.
Before take-off, our experts load the trolley and program it to suit the planned flight. During the flight, a sampling hose sucks in the cabin air, which is then guided inside the trolley via a branched sampling system to 36 different ports (plus four blank value ports). These contain air sample collectors for diverse emissions.
The system can be used to sample:
typical VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
aldehydes and ketones
odorous substances
organyl phosphates
amines.
Sampling times and intervals - such as specific odor events and graphs of emissions occurring during take-off and landing - can be programmed in advance or manually triggered with ease by trained crew members. At the end of the flight, the collected samples are sent directly to the analysis laboratory for identification and quantification.
In addition, the following parameters are continuously recorded during the entire flight by integrated online sensors:
carbon monoxide (CO)
particle sizes and distributions, grouped in the range from 0.25 to 35 micrometers
total VOC content (Total Volatile Organic Compounds)

Frustrated and angered by the constant power outages that are costing them business, the local business community did not get any exciting news from the minister responsible for energy in their meeting on Wednesday.
Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources, Kitso Mokaila, confirmed their worst nightmare. Power shortage will continue and in fact it was confirmed that Eskom – the South African power utility that provides Botswana with 100 megawatts switched off Botswana's supply completely on May 27, 2015. Botswana consumes 400 megawatts per a day.
Despite the worsening situation the Minister insisted that he still needs to be trusted to deliver a long term solution. He said he will not budge or run away until there is stability on both the power and water problem.
When addressing the business community who are members of Botswana Confederation of Commerce Industry and Manpower (BOCCIM) in Gaborone, Mokaila said his ministry is aware of the impact the problem is causing not only to their businesses but to the country's economy. The meeting was meant to update the business community on what the ministry is doing to address the situation as well as solicit ideas from them.
The minister expressed his equal disappointment with the power shortage situation. He pointed out that energy and water has become the two most important items in government's agenda to address. However, he did not hide behind a finger but told the business community that stability is only anticipated next winter. "I want to tell the truth, it is still going to continue to be shady for about a year or a year and half," he said.
However, Mokaila said his ministry is doing everything it can to get the situation back to normal quickly, pointing that the intention is to have the refurbishment of Morupule A complete by May 2016. "We intend to have 90MW from the Morupule A by May next year and alternatively expand it to 150MW over a period of 2-3 years. We are also making sure that Morupule B is salvageable," said the minister.
For a long time Botswana has been relying too much on coal to produce electricity and the business community called on government to find other avenues of producing more power. The minister revealed that the government is currently looking at the utilisation of the solar energy in Botswana. He said tenders are already out to try solar especially in the North West region and if successful it will be rolled out in the whole country.
To further try and address the critical power shortage Mokaila pointed out that they are also looking at other avenues that include expanding the diesel plants at Matshelagabedi by 35MW to produce 105MW. "We are also looking at converting the Orapa station from diesel to gas and also expanding its production. In long term, we are planning for Morupule 5 and 6," revealed the minister.
Pule Molutsi, who is a businessman, suggested that government should consider getting into Power Purchase Agreements with some private companies to alleviate the shortage. In response, the minister said there are some individuals who have shown interest in setting up their own power stations and his ministry is encouraging them.
This was reiterated by Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) Chief Executive Officer Jacob Raleru, who said there is an opportunity for private companies to enter into power purchase agreements as long as the price is reasonable. Raleru said the other fact is the tenure of supply which is very critical. He, however, said currently the tenure stand at 3 to 5 years which the business community argues is too short and needs to be revised.
The minister appealed to the local business community to come on board and work with government to help address the power crisis. However, he strongly cautioned against companies that would try to take advantage of the situation the government is in, saying he will do anything to stop this from taking place.
Loatile Seboni of City Media also urged the members to start doing something to preserve power. Seboni attacked some businesses that leave the lights on at night while not working, urging them to take responsibility. She added that as little as this can sound it can go a long way in saving power. "The time has come for businesses to come up with ideas to help with the situation at hand," she said.
On the Morupule B debacle some members of the business community raised concerns and called for investigations to be undertaken to see if anything fraudulent may not have happened that led to the disaster. BCP boss Raleru, however, revealed that the Directorate on Crime and Economic Crime (DCEC) had investigated the matter in two occasions but nothing was found to be amiss. "If there is anyone of you who has information that can help they can present it to the relevant authorities", he said.


I return. Was not away for as long as I thought I'd be.
I was going to write a list of the things I have been up to, but it's too hot to sit here and this abominable sunshine has melted the remaining few cognitive processes that I still had functioning. Anyway, some parts of my adventures involved a spiders nest.
It's a good job I'm not scared of spiders.
Cookies are to be awarded to the first person to notice I'm back.
I noticed, me me me! Glad you are back. I killed a spider last night so *shh* don't tell anyone.
Cookies! I may stalk you more often. He he.
Spider nest? Like on Alien, but worse because it's with spiders? *shudders* (I watched Alien for the first time Friday night. I shall post about it on my blog, parts of a pigeon are involved in this tale).
Hey look! You're back! Go you!
Mar, marmarmar, marmar. Mar! Mar! Marmarmar! Mar mar mar, mar mar mar, mar. Mar! *()^%$^&! Mar mar mar! Mar? *margles* Mar mar mar!
But many happy returns, birdy!


Justin Trudeau shuffled his cabinet this week. The amazingly clueless John McCallum has been shuffled out as immigration minister — the same McCallum who rushed in tens of thousands of Muslim migrants last year, without any meaningful vetting.
In his place, they put Ahmed Hussen — who is, himself, a Somali refugee.
Back in 2011, Hussen testified before a U.S. congressional committee, about how to counter the radicalization of Somali youth.
I am a Canadian Muslim who is proud of his faith and heritage. I believe that the Canadian and American values of democracy, liberty, rule of law, human rights and respect for minorities do not contradict the tenets of my faith.
If the Ahmed Hussen of 2017 is allowed to be the same Ahmed Hussen who spoke to Congress in 2011, Canada's Muslim communities will be made a lot safer, a lot happier, and a lot more Canadian.
NEXT: Blaine Calkins, Conservative MP for Red Deer—Lacombe joins me to talk about the complaint he filed with Parliament's Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, concerning Trudeau's free trip to the Aga Khan's private island.
THEN: Lorne Gunter comes on to discuss Premier Rachel Notley's face off with Jane Fonda, who visited Alberta on behalf of Greenpeace to criticize the oil sands.
Interesting eating video, but as a Muslims Hussen's Loyalties lie with Islam not with Canada & our democratic system. If Hussen is so pro Canada why would he & Trudeau want to bring 1,000,000 Somali Muslims whose IQ averages 65, mildly retarded by Canadian standards. These people will continue ntribute nothing to Canada but as is being demonstrated around the world that Somalia is a failed state that has been at war with themselves & the rest of the world. Is Trudeau planning a voupe'?
Immigration ministry will be taken over by rookie Toronto lawyer Ahmed Hussen who was born in Somalia and his secretary, Arif Virani, is a Ugandan refugee. So our immigration will be controlled by foreign-born Muslims. Call me a xenophobic, racist, bigoted, intolerant, hate-mongering Islamophobe but this seems a little off to me. Like full-retard off.
I'm a Conservative, so one of my failings is that I will give Ahmed Hussen a chance. If I were Liberal I would condemn criticize and complain to no end. That's one of the failings of us Conservatives, we give everyone a chance, and the Liberals and NDP use that against us at every turn.
Justin Trudeau; loves Justin and his Sharia law loving and Communist loving friends.
It astonishes me that anyone in Canada would support him. He is pure evil!
He is no friend to Canadians.
How else are you going to keep the welfare state going it needs more victims to be relevant. Little Potato is a complete empty vessel and the perpetual feminist just loves to talk.
"The new immigration minister is a Somali refugee — who used to talk like Kellie Leitch". "Who used to talk like Kellie Leitch"? Why does Ezra keep propagating this false narrative? Kellie Leitch makes no specific reference to Muslim immigration, whereas, Hussen was speaking about the radicalization of Muslim immigrants and how to prevent that. As you point out Liza, the tenets of Islam are not compatible with our western democracy, it's that simple. So to stop the radicalization would require Muslims to renounce the teachings as found in the Qu'aran and emulating the life of Muhammad, the perfect man in Islam.
So, McCallum the red nosed lush has been shuffled out has he. Good. What an embarrassment to Canada.
I know that for Christ's sake—- So—- Why can't it all be itemized,. 1—- A MUSLIM can become a |Canadian citizen while wearing a Mask. - This is why Justin got a majority. Thanks Mulcair. You know——when a cop pulls over a MUSLIM wearing a Mask——what is the law? —-you don't know -Do you? Neither does the Cop. And he really doesn't want Lawfare.. Catch you later.
Some People Call Him Truedope for a reason.
With the Carbon Taxes/Levy's or what ever name they want to call it. Justin Trudeau surely can't be proud. We will lose Auto Industries for sure who can't compete. The USA don't and won't have a carbon tax. Canada have another Trudeau Legacy. It will be Justin's Trudeau's new car, Hiwedone.
Then We Can Get Used To Sharia Law. I hope they Remember, Justin Is A Feminist!. He must own a couple tall buildings they can push him off.
Raj, the government seems more than happy to tell us "what we must do and change in our Society to satisfy the Muslims". In fact that's all we ever get, how WE must change and accommodate them. In a sane world it would be the other way around.
I am going to miss that senile old geezer. Nobody could make the liberals look bad as much as him.
I don't understand why our Gov't allows this animosity to to develop between Muslims and Ourselves. All we really want to know is what we must do and change in our Society to satisfy the Muslims. All we really want our Government to inform the Muslims as to how they Must change to live amoungst us in PEACE.
A lot of what Ahmed says sounds good, but when he says Islam is compatible with our western democracy he blows the whole thing up for me. He says, the tenants of Islam "compliment and work neatly with the tenants of my faith." Which were the exact words out of his mouth if you listen to the vid, and mean more or less the same thing as "do not contradict the tenets of my faith" but there is a slight nuance there which slightly changes the emphasis.
Would he say those same things he said in 2011 to the congressional committee, to Canadians in 2017. A lot has changed since then and people know more about Islam than they did in 2011. Can he say those same things to us, now, with the same confidence that we'll buy it? It is just so very hard to trust anything about Islam.
It's not law so is neither here nor there, and he seems like a decent enough fellow, but I don't want anyone who was not born here in government.
actions. The get even times are only a couple weeks away.
This is the periscope from Faith's twitter the other day, of a woman from Saudi Arabia protesting Sharia creep at a Peel region school board meeting in Ontario. It's chilling and worth the view. Turn the sound down a bit, she has to scream her objections over quite a ruckus as security tries to remove her.
Note how the Muslim with the man bun glares at Goldy. If looks could kill.
The whole feed of comments on that event is worth the read, you have to go down the page a bit to get to it.
It is a real shame for Canada to be saddled with such a brain dead Leader.
Canada is just a Country for Justin to use and abuse as he makes his Mark on the World stage.
Justin works like the Mob—when they intend to bankrupt a business. Purchase on credit at the front door sell it at a loss for cash -out the back door.
Do your little across Canada trip Justin— How much are you charging each pit stop ?
Jay, although I am not in a habit to respond to nonsensical comments however, in your one case I'll make an exception. First of all learn basic manners to at least spell my name correctly it's KARAN.
Next, apparently you are as confused as most libtards are and has comprehension disability.
"Back in 2011, Hussen testified before a U.S. congressional committee, about how to counter the radicalization of Somali youth.
He says," I am a Canadian Muslim who is proud of his faith and heritage. I believe that the Canadian and American values of democracy, liberty, rule of law, human rights and respect for minorities do compliment and work neatly with the tenants of my faith."
That sounds great Ahmed. I would like to ask , how so exactly? Liberty, human rights and respect for minorities is nowhere to be seen in Islam. Any mention of such lofty attributes are prefaced with, as long as you follow Allah's will. Also respect for any 'rule of law' other than Sharia law is frowned upon and only barely tolerated in western countries because with Muslim numbers at their current count they have no choice. That's some smooth taqiyya or Ahmed really believes in total successful reformation of his religion.
Karan Singh and many others, I totally agree.
Shebel Raj "Maybe, the only way to Save a Country and Culture— is to Separate." I am starting to think the same.
Ouch! I like the sound of Ahmed Hussen's voice. It seems gentle as one who is familiar with suffering but who wants to make things right, who wants to heal.
A commenter on here, Karan Singh, confused things and says that Hussen was "misleading the congressional committee". Karen had been watching the U.S. proceedings and somehow thought that the Canadian cabinet member was subject to United States' review. He is not. He is Canadian.
Barnes can choose that option if he wants. Truth is that Canadians want the voice that speaks for them and with them in their own language.
Kellie Leitch sounds harsh and angry and I would not want to have lunch with her.
Ahmed Hussen sounds polite and hopeful, and most of us would like to have lunch with him.
Lorne Gunter is a great guest. Look forward to his next spot.
Not only is it time to put a stop to Muslim Immigration, it is also time to put a stop to Justin Trudeau and the Globalist who pull his strings.
Real Canadians will soon be a thing of the past, Canada will become a Country of Inbred Muslims with thousands of Half Cast Kids, all under the strict control of Islam.
Hidden away in another Country will be the elite Globalist, getting rich, running Factories with cheap Brain Dead, Muslim Labor.
Right now, we have only two things in our favor, they are Brexit, which will cause the breakup of the EU and Donald Trump, who may come to our rescue.
Let us Pray, or perhaps Prey would be better.
Apparently ahmed hussen was either misleading the congressional committee or has no real understanding of his religion; islam.
In reality islamic values are CONTRARY to Canadian values, unless he, like goofball turdo, wants to replace those values with his islamic somalian values.
In essence it's the same statement as when turdo jr. said islam & Canada shares the same values.
1. 'Democracy': Islam is against democracy, it's a theocracy where democracy cannot exist.
2. 'Liberty': There's no liberty or freedom for an individual in Islam, everybody has to submit to the will of allah not individual liberty.
3. 'Rule of Law': Now, the billion of dollar question is which 'rule of law' ahmed hussen is referring to, Canadian or Islamic 'sharia' law? We all know how important it is for every muslim to abide by sharia or, if living in a non-muslim land then make all efforts to bring the kuffir population under sharia.
4. 'Human Rights': That certainly is a joke. There are no rights for non- muslims (i.e. kuffir) in Islam. Simply, because they aren't considered humans.
5. 'Respect for Minorities': Under Islam minorities are considered as kuffir (non-believers) and if they decide to live on ilsamic land under islamic law he has to pay a special tax 'Jizya' and be known as 'dhimmi' i.e. second class citizens and thus classified as cowards . Mind it, this privilege is only afforded to the people of the book, namely Jews & Christians, whereas idolaters & pagans (e.g. hindus & buddhist) have no such privilege they either convert to islam or face the sword.
Truth is every single tenet of islam runs contrary to the western values.
We, in the west, are too naive & gullible to accept whatever mohammedan tells us at face value.
I got a kick out of the headline: "The new immigration minister is a Somali refugee — who used to talk like Kellie Leitch…".
I much prefer the way he talks now. He has a gentle Somali accent which gives him credibility.
To talk like Kellie Leitch would be too 'marmish' and, ironically, patronizing.

Countdown to Basketball: Boys Player Rankings No. 2, Joseph Lynch

Liberty Christian's Joseph Lynch does it all for the Patriots and looks to lead them to a three-peat this season.No. 2 - Joseph Lynch, Guard, Liberty Christian, Sr.
He's a pure scorer - can catch and shoot, create with his dribble or pull up and drain a deep 3-pointer. He knows how to read a defender to decide what he's going to do.
Lynch led the Patriots to back-to-back Northern Section championships last year and is eying a three-peat this season as the overwhelming favorite to claim another D-V title. He also led Liberty to a NorCal win.
As a first-team all-Record Searchlight, second-team all-section and the Five-Star League MVP, Lynch was second in the section in scoring with 21.5 points per game, and dropped a double-double in the section finals win. In any game, he has the ability to go off, recording 35 points in a preseason tournament game, and scoring 21 in the NorCal victory.
Liberty Christian has only won back-to-back titles once, and has never three-peated. But with Lynch guiding the offense for his senior year, it is a realistic possibility.

Even though the models for 2019 Volkswagen Touareg are in test phase only, but developers confirm that there is a lot to hope for in these models. According to recent sources, it has been confirmed that VW will release their next generation Touareg as a popular SUV model in mid cycle. This 3rd generation models will feature exclusive debut items, and they will probably make their way in to the worldwide markets by the end of 2018. More information shall be made available about this very new model pretty soon.
There have been some speculations that reveal that a brand new platform will be used to construct the internal chassis of 2019 Volkswagen Touareg. This new platform is the scaled down version of MLB EVO, with certain twitching modifications. The specialty about this platform is the fact that it will certainly reduce the overall body weight – due to its aluminium and light weight fibre construction. A more rigid platform will also guarantee better safety precautions, and in addition to that, its off-road capability will also improve a lot.
Due to a new light weight platform, the overall ride weight will be significantly reduced. This will lead to better handling and improved aerodynamics.
Light weight chassis design will also make the car quite sturdy. This, coupled with a longer wheel base design, would certainly improve cabin space and leave scope for spacious interior design.
There might be multiple versions available for this car – one of the European markets and another for the US. There might be a possibility that these versions turn out to be slightly different, with the US version having an extra 3rd row of seats.
There is not much to know about engine options that are available for 2019 Volkswagen Touareg. However, according to sources there might be multiple scopes for engines – with a base inline 4 cylinder option. Higher trim models might include the likes of a V6 or V8 cylinder engines with both diesel and gasoline units. Due to recent protocols, a plug-in hybrid version might also come out with the base engine and an electric motor. Transmission will involve a 10 speed DSG dual clutch gearbox.
There has not been much discussion regarding the price of 2019 Volkswagen Touareg since it is still in its test phase. However, it will release in late 2018, with a high end price for its luxury SUV design.

Dana Scully, Resplendent
by josephzenoni
on January 3 2013
There is an exchange in "Memento Mori," the fourteenth episode of the fourth season of the X-Files, in which Dana Scully – FBI agent, medical doctor, redoubtable skeptic, possible alien abductee, conflicted Catholic, survivor of hundreds of losses and tragedies – breaks the news of her recently diagnosed cancer to her partner Fox Mulder by saying,
Scully: "It's what's called a nasopharyngeal mass. It's a small growth on the wall between the superior concha and sphenoidal sinus."
Mulder: "A growth?"
Scully: "A tumor. You're the only one I've called."
Mulder: "Okay. Is it operable?"
Scully: "No."
Mulder: "But it's treatable?"
Scully: "The truth is that the type and placement of the tumor make it difficult to the extreme."
She is not holding back tears, though she looks cried out. Her eyes are glass, her words recondite, her heart distant.
The X-Files took an unconscionable time – over four years – to perfect one of it's two leads. Maybe it was something endemic to the show, or – more likely – Scully's development was the product of overwhelmingly male TV writers. After four seasons, she was in character limbo, embodying whatever stereotype was convenient for the moment: the impressed neophyte, or the adversarial foil, the bemused mother and wife. Throughout it she was so consistently attacked, abducted, abused, quasi-raped and stricken that it's a wonder she doesn't have some serious PTSD shit. For all of it, she was a plot point, even with the half the majority of the show's screen-time.
Mulder: "It's aliens, why can't you see it? Why can't you believe?"
Scully: "Aliens aren't science. It's obviously Waxman-Geschwind syndrome/delusional parasitosis/unruly youths. Don't be silly."
The phlegmatic, inscrutably scientific Scully versus Mulder's boyish idealism makes up the show's classic dynamic. Half way through the series, though, as "Memento Mori" occurs, the joke had begun to sour. But this exchange in a soulless hospital room, illuminated by the white fluorescence of x-ray light boxes, is so startling: the regular premise is laid out, but the punchline is subverted. The joke ended up not being a joke at all. The violation, in a flash, became infinitely less benign.
Scully was antagonistically scrupulous, and nothing of her was left for audience to engage with outside of the patchwork characteristics with which dummy writers stereotyped her. Unexpectedly, those characteristics were Frankensteined to life by this lightning moment, and what climbed off the table afterward was Chris Carter's conflicted spiritualist, Frank Spotnitz's shrewish skeptic, John Shiban's humoring mother, and Vince Gilligan's metatextual foil: a woman aware of her contradictions, who feels marginalized by her male partner but also keenly interested in his success. In this dire moment, viewers are faced for the first time not with a two-dimensional character but the human being.
Because of who Scully has developed into, the risk of a well-tread storyline like terminally illness became the most genuinely affecting moment of the series. Perfection is a wispy and labile concept, hard to grasp and harder to engineer. But this moment was completely unexpected and totally necessary. In an instant, Scully's history was retconned: facile moments became profound revelations, the show's central relationship had tangible poignancy; it vouchsafed emotional justification on past decisions and emotional heft to past conversations.
Carter and Gilligan are two of the best working television writers. At it's best, the X-Files' potency was only peripherally related to aliens and magical bullshit. The nature of discernment, doubt, chaos and uncertainty was the show's real concern – how through belief, in conspiracies or in God or in others, fear can be transcended. For a series about belief and doubt, at first the X-Files left little space for its audience to do either. The normal rhythm of an episode set up Mulder as believing something unbelievable, Scully disputing it, and the audience knowing that Mulder was right the whole time. How can an audience care about a character who is plainly and demonstrably wrongheaded each episode? Or a character is righteously right each episode? How can there be any real bond between characters who are not people but parts of the plot?
Only with the honest, flawed, and intricate emotional core that Scully gained in that exchange could the X-Files achieve that strange conflation of spiritualism and science that made the show successful. Letting her beliefs be ill-defined and human instead of reducing them to doctrine allowed the space for a single, convergent, and cooperative ideology to emerge. All things are equally likely to be true, yet not all things equally are. When it straddled the gulf between adventuresome science and cautious spirituality, the X-Files was beautiful.
Life is uncertain, inconsistent, chaotic and unpredictable. There are just too many unknowns – whether due to the sheer number of physical catalysts or the depth of intricacies inherent in occurrences – to be fully understood. What the X-Files recognized in this moment is that that's not bad. It ran toward the uncertainty, not away from it. Love blossoms from the complex, not the simple. Two known quantities, when multiplied together, produce the same quotient every time. If those quantities fluctuate, if they're liable to change at a whim, if their extent is too poorly understood – who knows what magnificent or terrible thing they'll create? So, trash the cryptozoological malarky. The X-Fil's epitaph should read as follows:
Fictional or actual, people are alloys. Contamination is strength.

The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIX Olympic Winter Games, were held in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States from February 8 2002 to February 24 2002. There were about 2,400 athletes from 77 nations. They were in 78 events. Utah was the fifth state in the United States to host the Olympic Games.
78 National Olympic Committees sent athletes to the Salt Lake City games. Cameroon, Hong Kong (China), Nepal, Tajikistan, and Thailand were in their first Winter Olympic games.
The Olympic Flame was lit by the members of the Gold Medal-winning US Hockey Team of the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY.
These Olympics were the first time a United States president opened an Olympic Winter Games.
These were the first Games to be held under IOC president Jacques Rogge.
Janica Kostelić won three golds and a silver which were the first Winter Olympic medals ever for Croatia It was the first three-gold performance by a female.
Skeleton returned as a medal sport in the 2002 Games for the first time since 1948.
2002 was the first time with the Women's Bobsled Event.
China won its first and second Winter Olympic gold medals, both by women's short-track speed skater Yang Yang (A).
One of the most memorable stories of the event was at the men's short track. Australian skater Steven Bradbury was behind in the semi-final. The winning skaters crashed into each other, letting him finish second and go through to the final. Bradbury was again behind in the final. Again all four other skaters crashed out in the final turn. He won the gold medal.This was the first gold for Australia—or any other country of the Southern Hemisphere—in the Olympic Winter Games.
Australia won their second gold medal when Alisa Camplin won in Women's Aerials. This was the first ever Winter Games gold won by a woman from the Southern Hemisphere.
The Canadian men's ice hockey team defeated the American team 5–2 to claim the gold medal. This ended 50 years without the hockey gold. The Canadian women's team also defeated the American team 3–2.
