A Conversation Between a Priest and a Rabbi.

Submitted by BT from MTL. Yes, I am going to hell.
-------------------------

A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.

After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, 'Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?'

The rabbi responded, 'Yes, that is still one of our laws.'

The priest then asked, 'Have you ever eaten pork?'

To which the rabbi replied, 'Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.'

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, 'Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?'

The priest replied, 'Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.'

The rabbi then asked him, 'Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?'

The priest replied, 'Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my Faith.'

The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five Minutes.

Finally, the rabbi said, 'Beats the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?

I know, it's been a while but it's been some trying times. Anyhow, here is a joke from BT from MTL. Enjoy.

--------------------------------------

A woman and her boyfriend are out having a few drinks. While they’re Sitting there having a good time together, she starts talking about this Really great new drink.
The more she talks about it, the more excited she gets, and starts trying to talk her boyfriend into having one.
After a while he gives in and lets her order the drink for him. The
Bartender brings the drink and puts the following items on the bar:

1. A salt shaker,
2. A shot of Baileys,
3. A shot of lime juice.

The boyfriend looks at the items quizzically and the woman explains.

First you put a bit of the salt on your tongue.
Next you drink the shot of Baileys and hold it in your mouth.
And finally you drink the lime juice.'
So, the boyfriend, trying to go along and please her, goes for it.

He puts the salt on his tongue........salty but OK.

He drinks the shot of Baileys and holds it in his mouth..........smooth, Rich, cool, very pleasant. He thinks........this is OK.

Finally he picks up the lime juice and drinks it.

1. In one second the sharp lime taste hits

2. At two seconds the Baileys curdles

3. At three seconds the salty, curdled taste & mucous-like Consistency hits

4. At four seconds it feels as if he has a mouth full of nasty snot

This triggers his gag reflex, but being manly, and not wanting to disappoint his girlfriend, he swallows the now foul tasting drink.

When he finally chokes it down he turns to his girlfriend, and says, Jesus what do you call that drink?'

She smiles widely at him and says, 'Blow Job Revenge.'

Husband Banned from Target

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from our local Target.

Dear Mrs. Samsel,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Samsel, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice,'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he would invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least:

15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Look who bought a clue!

They said "No".  Sony said that they would NOT lower the price on their gaming console to match Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360 pricing.  They said they would NOT make adjustments to a system that was grossly overpriced when it debuted and stayed that way as the competitors kicked its ass up and down the gaming charts.  The built-in Blu-ray player made no difference to this status.  People continually chose the other two systems or a standalone system or even the older (much cheaper) PS2 systems over Sony's flagship unit.  This was pointed out to them many times over but they have stubbornly refused to budge.  Over principle or over something else?  Who knows?  Who really cares?

As a consumer, I chose the systems that gave me the best bang for the buck and and the best overall experience (you know what I mean, right?).  I would have bought an original 20Gb or 60GB model to get the backward-compatible Emotion engine so I could ditch our PS2 but I was not paying the ridiculous amount of money to get one when the system was released (and they are very hard to find used at a reasonable price, natch).  Sony lowered the price on their system but removed the Emotion engine; too little too late.

So will the PS3 Slim finally be the unit that puts Sony in the same playing field as the Wii and the 360?  I doubt it.  they are still being stupid about things by no lowering the price of the 80GB and 160GB units currently on sale as they clear them out of inventory.  That's both stubborn and stupid.  Their reasoning?  People will buy the old ones out of nostalgia or because they prefer the shape.  Are you freaking kidding me?

I want a PS3 because I am a bonified geek but I do not NEED a PS3 so I, along with millions of others, can wait until Sony has a fire sale unless they get real with their pricing. Very soon.

Why I will probably be buying a Bold (since work is taking back their BB).

What's good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander.

Microsoft defends its intellectually properties with a bevy of lawyers; by rights it should.  That has led to either acquisitions by Microsoft of an offending company or partnerships (i.e. Novell) with companies that infringed on those rights.

Well, now they are trying to brush off a lawsuit AGAINST them for the exact same practice.  They can appeal all they want but someone over there better start selling some stocks to pay for the bill of $294 million and counting.

An RCMP officer stops at a ranch up in Iron Mountain, B.C. and talks with the old ranch owner. He tells the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for illegal grown drugs.'

The old rancher says, 'Okay, but don't go in that field over there.'

The RCMP officer verbally explodes saying, 'Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.' Reaching into his rear pant pocket and removing his badge, the officer proudly displays it to the farmer.

'See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish....on any land. No questions asked. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?'

The old rancher nods politely and goes about his chores.

Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and spies the RCMP officer running for his life and close behind is the rancher's bull.

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer.

The officer is clearly terrified.

The old rancher immediately throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs....'Your badge! Show him your fucking badge!"

The Wife Came Home Early

The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and was somewhat upset.

'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried.
'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children?
I'm leaving you. I want a divorce straight away!'

And the husband replied 'Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell you what happened.'

'Fine, go ahead,' she sobbed, 'but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!'

And the husband began -- 'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car.

I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days! So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight.

The poor thing devoured them in moments. Since she needed a good clean up I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw them away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't use because you say they are too tight.

I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't use because I don't have good taste.

I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't use just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don't use because someone at work has a pair the same.'

The husband took a quick breath and continued - 'She was so grateful for my understanding and help and as I walked her to the door she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said, 'Please .. do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?'

What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K'?

Submitted by BT from MTL
------------------------

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, 'Harry, what's your problem?'

Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!'

Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office.

While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.

Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: 'What is 3 x 3?'
Harry: '9.'

Principal: 'What is 6 x 6?'
Harry: '36.'

And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know.

The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, 'I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade.'

Ms. Brooks says to the principal, 'Let me ask him some questions.' The principal and Harry both agreed.

Ms . Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?'
Harry, after a moment: 'Legs.'

Ms Brooks: 'What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?'
The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!
Harry replied: 'Pockets.'

Ms. Brooks: 'What does a dog do that a man steps into?'
Harry: 'Pants.'

Ms. Brooks: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?'
Harry: 'Coconut.'

The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks: 'What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?'
The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'

Ms. Brooks: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?'
Harry: 'Shake hands.'

The principal was trembling.

Ms. Brooks: 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?'
Harry: 'Firetruck.'

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, 'Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong.....'

I won't waste my time or yours going over what I think about televangelists and their ilk.  I won't wax on for long periods about the thieves I think they are and the stupidity of their sheep, sorry, flock.

A woman in the article is quoted as saying that she will find somewhere else to send her $25 monthly donation as she feels lost.  Lady you are lost if you think giving a group money to upkeep a large glass building and many overpaid jobs rather than to starving children all over the world and even in your own backyard.  Twenty-five dollars a month could be the start of change for someone down on their luck.  But no, continue sending it to those who don't need it and obviously are too shallow to care. That's what God wants you to do in this life.

Yet, TWICE now during a Superbowl broadcast (the other was to New Jersey viewers I believe), a WHITE penis has showed up on the screen for more than a couple of seconds and you don't see the FCC fining Comcast or Comcast being banned from showing the Superbowl, on Congress calling Comcast to a hearing or any of the other foolishness that Janet and Justin were subjected to.

Where's the misplaced moral outage against this?  We are talking full on PORN and there is no backlash?  TWICE.  Yep, no racial bias there folks.

Ciao.

Today's Funny - Part Deux

Submitted by BT
---------------

A trucker who has been out on the road for two weeks stops at a brothel outside Atlanta. He walks straight up to the Madam, drops down $500 and says: "I want your ugliest woman and a grilled cheese sandwich!"

The Madam is astonished. "But sir, for that kind of money you could have one of my finest ladies and a three-course meal."

The trucker replies: "Listen darlin', I'm not horny - I'm homesick."

Oh, what a game!

As usually happens at this time of year, DW and I host our annual Superbowl get together. Friends and family are invited to not only watch the game, but to come and socialize and hang out (as, remarkably, not everyone enjoys the NFL). This year, DW outdid herself with her usual contribution, a 7-layer dip. Not sure exatly what was different but it was absolutely perfect and AL and I nearly ate off the entire thing ourselves. Her chili was also up to snuff but I did not add to the naturally heat this year. That would be because the 7-layer had a bit of a kick but mainly because I had a heap of my favourite import, Redsometimes' husband's Double-Burn dip. It was extra cheesy and extra burny this year and, well, let's just say the three produce a perfect storm this morning and leave it at that. :)

I picked the Steelers this year (though I am a long suffering Buffalo Bills fan) and thankfully, literally, they pulled it out in the end. I'm lucky to know that though because believe it or not, I fell asleep after Arizona scored their late 4th quarter touchdown to take the lead. Our guests were leaving so they woke me up and I see ribbons falling on the Steelers jerseys.

FRACK!

But wait, there's more. Thankfully, (ugh! I loathe to say this) we have a Rogers PVR that we were watching on so I was able to rewind back to the Fitzgerald TD and play from there so I did see the whole thing unfold. I would not say it was the greatest game ever but it definitely deserves a top ten placement. Minus some of the stupidest penalty taking EVER, this game had some major highlights: Fitzgerald's go-ahead TD, Arizona coming back from 13 points down, Steelers blowing a 13 point lead in the fourth quarter, a 100-yard, longest ever, interception return for a touchdown, not one but two successful replay challenges, a first appearance by The Boss, the return of Jennifer Hudson to sing the anthem and just a whole lot of heart, grit and sweat spent on the field.

I'd like to thank our guests, Redsomtimes and date, AL and the lovely K, MR and NR, and Wynterluv and the great Peruvian, and the Skibum for coming out and joining us. We're sorry the DoubleD and his DW could not make it out, PS and MS are too CFL loyal (oh yeah, I said it beetaches), Bajan Boy's eye was bothering him (and stones were with his DW) but especially Famine and Devoid as she is recovering from a car accident this past week. Get Well Soon! Oh yeah, almost forgot my cousin, Weeb; still waiting to hear YOUR story for yesterday. :-P

Alrighty, that is it for this subject, on to more items in a few.

Ciao.

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident in Port George, Nova Scotia, a man answered his door to find two grim-faced Mounties.

'We're sorry sir, but we have some information about your wife,' said one Mountie.

'Tell me! Did you find her?' the husband shouted.

The Mounties looked at each other. One said, 'We have some bad news, some good news and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?'

Fearing the worst, the ashen husband said, 'Give me the bad news first.'

The Mountie said, 'I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the bay.'

'Oh my God!' exclaimed the husband. Swallowing hard, he asked, 'What's the good news?'

The Mountie continued, 'When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five pound snow crabs and 6 good-size lobsters clinging to her.'

Stunned, the husband demanded, 'If that's the good news, what's the great news?'

The Mountie said, 'We're going to pull her up again tomorrow.'

Got Windows? You should use some of these.

If you use Windows (Shut it Famine! Not a word Skibum!), you have to protect yourself from yourself and from everyone else as well.  That said, life is not all work so you need to be able to relax and get the most out of your PC or laptop.  The two links brings you to a collection that Cnet/Download.com put together as an essential set of software for all Windows users.  This is not definitive by any means due simply to the fact that every program in this list is FREE or OPEN-SOURCE.  There are certain examples of commercial competitors that will get you support and possibly more features but rarely will you pay and get better functionality and stability.  I use most of these myself, discovered some new items in this list and will add posts with suggestions of my own that are missing from the list (but should be on) or, in the case of items like Firefox, are recommended add-ons and/or plugins that will further expand and enhance the existing software.

I suggest you grab a large, inexpensive USB key and drop them all onto it so that you can spread the love to all those family and friends machines that you look after.  Who knows, some of it may just help cut down on the support calls that come your way.

Enjoy.

Have a home router you wish could do a little bit more?

In keeping the theme from the last post, this site is a Godsend for those of us that like to tweak the network to get a little bit more juice.  DD-WRT started out as a firmware upgrade to a Linksys router and has since branched out to other vendors as well.  It is free, as almost all things I tend to post about, and typically opens functions that the hardware is fully capable of performing but the vendor's firmware and GUI does not activate or at times even show.  For example, a lot of devices are capable of VPN tunnelling.  This is reserved for the business and more expensive units that a typical vendor sells but the consumer hardware uses the same hardware as the business one so it is simply a matter of having the code to utilize the imbedded function.

BEWARE, as with the music player, you can damage your unit if you do not follow the instructions or upload corrupted firmware.  If the router in question is your bread and butter connection, I would take every precaution before looking to perform this change.  On the other hand, I naturally encourage you to try it with the caveat of knowing you may need to buy a new router in the worst case scenario.  Really though, the danger is no worst than upgrading the firmware supplied by the vendor.

Enjoy.

Do you have an older (compatible) music player?

Like with all technology, there is always a newer, shinier model around the corner.  So, what happens to the older model?  Sometimes this becomes a hand me down, sometimes it is donated, sometimes it is sold.  Well, now you have another option.  Sometimes you can continue playing with it in a new, sometimes more improved way.  It has long been known that you can run Linux on just about everything, including an iPod.  Well, not as well know is that you can get replacement, typically open-source firmware for certain devices that turn on or add functionality that was not available to you before.

Rockbox does exactly that for music and video players.  It adds format compatibility, equalizer settings and other goodies that the manufacturer simply chose not to add into the original release.  As with anything, BEWARE to do this on a device you use regularly as sometimes things go wrong and you can end up bricking the unit.  That is why it is best to try it on an older machine that you may not need or use.  If something goes wrong, ah well; at least you tried.  If it works out, then you have breathed some new life into a dusty unit that was sitting on a shelf.

Enjoy.

And a final one as it challenges the theory that the experiment was deliberately invoked by the government injecting the disease.

The Tuskegee Experiment

If the Tuskegee Airmen are the feelgood story for Alabama, then how ironic it is that one of the worst offences recorded against black males also occurred in the very same area.  In summary, the Tuskegee Experiment basically allowed 399 black males to suffer after contracting syphilis by leaving them untreated so that they could be studied to see how far the disease would advance on its own and what would happen.  It goes without saying, though I will do so, that these were poor and illiterate people that were preyed upon for this study.

Yes, I bring these items to light because of Obama.  Hopefully, like the holocaust, Hiroshima, Rwanda and many other attrocities, we will never see them happen ever again.  We can only make sure of that by never forgetting that they were possible in the first place.

680 News: Up to 3-million to attend Obama's swearing-in


Washington, D.C. - Millions in the
U.S. are counting down with excitement to the swearing-in of Barack
Obama as the 44th President of the United States on Tuesday.


Up to three-million people are expected to make their way to
Washington, D.C. for the historic inauguration, as security reaches
unprecedented level of readiness.




Those who live in the Washington-area said they have never seen
anything like the security that is in place -- 10,000 members of the
National Guard will be spread out across the city, with over 7,000
military personal, 4,000 city police officers and 4,000 others from 96
different law enforcement agencies, as well as the Secret Service and
the FBI.


A security spokesperson told CNN that security is so tight because
the U.S. is engaged in two wars and on-guard against terrorism, and
because of the number of people expected on Capitol Hill.


Those who make it to the National Mall will have to pass through
airport-like screening, with just as many restrictions on what they can
carry.


Washington will be locked down by late Monday night. All bridges
into Washington will be closed by Tuesday morning and roads will be
closed for miles around Capitol Hill. So, the crowd will not be able to
line-up until 6 a.m. Tuesday.


Cell phone and Internet companies have installed portable towers in
anticipation of colossal calling coverage and cell phone picture
transmissions.


The actual ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the Marine Corp Band, the invocation and a performance by Aretha Franklin.


Vice President-elect Joe Biden will take his oath at 11:46 a.m., followed by Obama's oath at noon.


His address is expected to make the kind of history made by John F.
Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. In fact, Obama will
use the same velvet-covered Bible used by Lincoln in 1861. Obama is
expected to wear a tuxedo and a top hat during the swearing-in.


The parade will follow next, which will leave the Capitol along
Pennsylvania Avenue at 2:30 p.m. Obama and his wife will attend up to
15 inaugural balls before returning to their new home, the White House.

Don't start nothing, there won't be nothing!

The contentious Middle-East situation is always going to polarize people and their views. I will remind my readers before I continue that I am married to a woman of the Jewish faith; she is Canadian, and not Israeli however (which I am oft reminded). That said, those of you that know me personally know that my intimate connections have little to do with my views on the world and does not restrict them much if at all (i.e. I am sensitive, not censored). Okay, enough caveats and conditions. Let's jump right in.

The Israelis are NOT wrong for responding to the constant attacks on them by Hamas and others. They ARE wrong for the strength, direction and apparent lack of focus and control that they are exhibiting in that response. Just as Hamas is wrong for firing rockets wildly into Israel without regard for life there and the Palestinians are wrong for continuing to support Hamas as they get nothing but grief in return for these actions. Many people, including good friends of mine, are quick and vocal to chastise Israel for killing innocent civilians and children. I do not disagree with this voice but I do not sit back and listen; I question.

My first question is, "Where were your voices when Hamas STARTED this issue by firing more rockets into Israel?"

My next question is, "Where were your voices when Hamas and Iran and others were calling for the destruction of Israel and the death for all Jews?"

My final question is, "Where were your voices when bombers were killing children on buses, tourists in cafes and innocent people in a wedding reception?"

If you are going to be vocal about atrocities, you should be vocal about ALL atrocities. If you are going to pick and choose which really bad things bother you then, seriously, just STFU!

Israel stopped their offensive and arranged for aide to help those affected in Gaza and for that they received more rockets out of Lebanon (who promptly denounced the action of those stupid enough to draw Lebanon into this latest fray). There is a lot of history and facts that I honestly am ignorant of but neither side should think to claim innocence in these matters because there is enough shit for everyone's fans. The thing that boggles my mind is the apparent mind lapse by these people that Israel is a nuclear nation. When Saddam was firing Scuds across, the only reason he did not get a nuke up the tailpipe was because the US stepped in and begged Israel to chill out. Now, I doubt Israel would use nukes on any of its Arab neighbours as that would simply provoke a sinkhole effect in response (everyone would gang up on beating them down) but the possibility still looms so why on earth would you provoke them?

I will again state that I do not in any way condone the killing of children or innocent people in any form or fashion. I will say though that you only have to remember some well known sayings to know Hamas royally f**ked up.

"You don't bring a knife to a gunfight."

"Don't poke a beehive unless you are willing to get stung."

"Don't wake the sleeping bear."

"Mess with the bull and you get the horns!"

And my final words come from a skit Chris Rock did about the OJ Simpson case in his "Bigger & Blacker" concert. I don't agree with what the Israelis are doing as a response to Hamas' violence, but I understand. I just hope it all stops before it is too late.

Peace. Please.

To play mas or not? That is the question for 2009.

RIP - The First Lady of Trek

It really had to have been a busy month for me to have missed a story of this magnitude and importance.  I know a lot of eye rolling is happening but you have to look at the whole picture.  Star Trek broke ground for more money to be used in TV shows, for science fiction shows, for shows with morals and a life lesson to be learned, for breaking the colour barrier on television (Star Trek is credited with the first interracial kiss, between Captain Kirk and Lt. Uhura) and promoting peace.

Mrs. Roddenberry was supposed to play the part now immortalized by Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock; it seems the TV executives simply could not fathom a woman with that much power in those times so ordered a change.  She ended up in a more minor part as Nurse Chapel but has also been immortalized in her own right as the voice of the Enterprise in almost every Star Trek show and movie and video game.  If that was not enough, her turn as Mrs. Troi, Deanna's mother in both TNG and DS9 provided some of the most comedic episodes to ever air during those series' runs.  Her greatest accomplishment is probably driving the continuing legacy of her and her late husband after his passing in 1991.  She brought not one but two distinct, successful science fiction series to TV syndication in Earth: Final Conflict and Andromeda.

Very easily she could have been labelled as a pain to work with, undesirable boss, on and on.  I personally have never read such stories and continually I have read about what a wonderful person she is on and off the set.  Frankly, I don't care if those stories exist, it would nto phase me one bit.  To me, she will always be that voice that says, "So and so is not on board the Enterprise" and "Oh Jean Luc, such naughty thoughts."

Rest in Peace and I hope you and Gene can now spend eternity together.

Ciao.

Must we destroy the environment in order to save it?

Brought to my attention by Famine
-----------------------------------------

I read the article and I added the information I recently gleaned from friends who live on Amherst Island near Kingston, Ontario to form my opinion.  Unfortunately, it is still on the fence in a manner of speaking.  Let me explain.

First, I think the title of this story is misleading because it never specifically outlines any actual facts concerning the effect on the actual environment itself.  It does mention ruining the picturesque views for some folks but the photo opportunity of your horizon is not argument enough to stop such projects.  It would have been far more effective an article with actual facts on what these projects do to the surrounding lands, animals, erosion patterns, etc.  I expected better than a half-ass report from a national newspaper and Mr. Frum, you should be ashamed of printing this incomplete report.

Next, on the island they have some true concerns about these windmills and very little of those concerns have to do with how things look from their window.  The island is in the migratory path of many birds and the ONLY resting spot for certain owl species.  Schools, scientists and birdwatchers flock to the island to observe these birds all year long.  with approximately eighty-six wind turbines being slated for the island, smack dab in the middle of these lands, the obvious question is "what happens to these birds?"  Now, I am all for alternative power but it seems that in order to lessen the installation cost, the obvious site out in the water is being ignored in order to lower the price of putting these items in.  THIS is a true example of the environmental cost and impact Mr. Frum.  Do some research and get back to us.

My finally note on this topic is one I have sung before.  If this is not the solution to the issue, what is?  Once again, right or wrong, we have the government pushing forward a solution and a bunch of people nay saying and running against it going through.  Everyone is well within their right to protest against it BUT what other solutions has anyone come up with?  People want the coal burning stations shut down, they want no more nuclear plants built, they want less cars on the road, they want the moraine saved and they want no further lands flooded for hydro electric damns as it displaces (and kills) the wildlife.  Uhm, okay, so then what do you propose as a solution to provide the power for a growing population in 2009 without doing any of the previous items you don't want done?  CRICKETS!!  Yeah, thought so.

I'm not saying what Dalton's government is doing is the absolute right answer or that how they are going about it is necessarily the right way.  i am saying that I am tired of the Conservatives and everyone else simply bitching about the decisions without coming up with a concrete plan that can be put forth and measured directly against the current plan to PROVE it is the better way to do things.  One does not have to be in power to effect change and if that is all one is seeking by going against the plan, then what incentive is there for anyone to listen to you.

I don't think the people of Ontario, or across Canada, should simply shut up and accept the current plan as it is being put forth.  I DO think that those in a position (i.e. opposition leaders, etc.) to get the current plan changed should shut up until they have something meaningful and useful to say.  It is 2009 people and this planet is quickly running out of time.  Grow up and start behaving like adults and fix this before it is too late for us all.

Peace.
