Remember boards like these thrive on traffic. Reduce the board to just ladies advertising and men posting recommendations CERB would quickly fold because of little or no traffic...people just wouldn't come back. I suppose for those that don't like the recognition threads, seeing them as serving no purpose they must also feel that giving nominations, rep points/comments and thanks is also a waste of time...even though they too, are just another way to acknowledge a member...be it through a milestone or a post. CERB has many venues to attract a diverse community of people sharing a common interest Tracie, keep up the good work, it is noticed and appreciated And now I'm going back to the music thread ;-) RG

The RCMP are expected to announce the charges at a news conference at about 11:10 am ET Tuesday. The Mounties allege Brazeau and Harb defrauded taxpayers by claiming travel and living expenses to which they were not entitled.

The three former Conservatives were suspended without pay following an outside audit of their expenses. Harb, who was a Liberal senator until his spending came under scrutiny through an external audit,â?? retired in August after paying back $231,000. Both Brazeau and Harb, along with Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, were subject to a lengthy Senate investigation of their expenses claims and living allowances. A Senate committee determined each of the four had claimed tens of thousands of dollars in expenses that they were not entitled to. The Senate then passed its files to the RCMP. The charges expected Tuesday against Brazeau and Harb are the first to flow from the RCMP's own lengthy investigation of the spending scandal, underway since May 2013. [B]Neither admits to wrongdoing[/B] The Senate's internal economy committee ordered Brazeau, Harb, Duffy and Wallin to repay their alleged improper expenses: Brazeau to the tune of nearly $50,000 and Harb to more than $230,000. Neither has admitted any wrongdoing, and both have mounted spirited campaigns in their own defence. Until he was suspended from the Senate last year, Brazeau had faced a 20 per cent garnishment of his salary. It's now not clear how or if Brazeau has continued to repay what the Senate says he owes. Harb, on the other hand, repaid the entire amount in May and subsequently retired from the Senate. He now collects a Senate pension. On Tuesday, Harb's lawyer Sean May said Harb will respond to "any and all allegations." "It's disappointing that charges are being laid. He's going to be prepared to respond in court and he looks forward to that."

18. Treasure Friendship, the reciprocal attachment that fills the need for affiliation. Friendship cannot be acquired in the market place but must be nurtured and treasured in relations imbued with trust and amity. 19. Kindness towards others tends to be rewarded. Kindness to others is a good habit that supports and reinforces the quest for the good life. Helping others bestows a sense of satisfaction that has two beneficiaries...the beneficiary the receiver of the help and the benefactor the one who provides the help

Don't be sad. Valentine's Day was the invention of those who are married or in some sort of committed relationship...the rest of the year lots of those people are wondering why they got married in the first place and envying those of us who are single. 1 special day for those in a relationship, 364 days for us A rambling from a happily single guy RG
