That map kind of puts it into perspective. There are not too many coutries that are "Grey".

I used Sherwood Lanes. The one room in the basement has a door that goes into the parking lot out back for any extra shenanigans.

Talent show down to the last half-dozen

NEW YORK (AP) -- Few times has a song title been so fitting.

But Ace Young sang "That's All," and that was about right for the "American Idol" contestant, who became the latest "American Idol" casualty in Wednesday's viewer voting after enduring weeks of speculation that he would soon get the boot.

Deeps this can probably be about 90% of the news out there. This is going to be fun.

Queen not amused by Castro quip

Queen Elizabeth II, formally reopening the London headquarters of British Broadcasting Corp. radio Thursday, was asked why she has not invited Cuban leader Fidel Castro to her 80th birthday celebrations.

John Humphrys, the tenacious interviewer on Radio 4's "Today" news program, posed the jocular question to the monarch as she toured newly refurbished parts of Broadcasting House, home of BBC radio since the 1930s.

"I suggested it was a bit mean not to invite Fidel Castro to the palace because he's 80 as well and she didn't seem to think it was a very good idea," Humphrys said afterward.

Radio 2 host Terry Wogan, who also met the queen, interjected: "No she didn't. She thought in fact you were showing marked communist leanings and showing republican tendencies."

The queen turns 80 on Friday and Castro reaches the same milestone on August 13.

During her tour of the building, the queen also watched the recording of the popular Radio 4 program "Woman's Hour" and met a raft of celebrities, including the actors Prunella Scales and Timothy West.

BBC chairman Michael Grade presented a digital radio to the queen as a birthday gift.

On the issue of nukes, everybody has got them: The US, Israel (undeclared of course), India, Pakistan, China, Japan, the Russians, .

Don't forget the French dammit.

I wonder if every conversation between the police and other officials is being documented this time.

Aboriginal protesters return after pre-dawn eviction

More aboriginal protesters arrived at a construction site in southwestern Ontario Thursday morning, hours after police staged a pre-dawn raid to break up a seven-week-old occupation.

Ontario Provincial Police arrived at the Caledonia site before 5 a.m. EDT in several large rental vans with their guns drawn, and armed with tear gas and Tasers, protester Mike Desrouches told CBC Newsworld.

"They covered the entire area within seconds. They gave virtually no chance for people to leave at all," he said.

Desrouches said a number of people were subdued with electric shocks from Tasers, and that he saw about a dozen arrested.

A couple of hours later, several hundred protesters arrived at the site, setting a pile of tires on fire on a nearby two-lane highway. Large plumes of black smoke are billowing in the air as the protesters gathered.

Protester Janie Jameson vowed to stay "however long it takes."

CH News has reported that the OPP is regrouping in the nearby town of Caledonia, and that roughly 1,000 police officers have been placed on standby.

The situation led local officials to close an elementary school in the town.

The protesters had been camped out since Feb. 28 on the site where new homes are being built, about 90 kilometres southwest of Toronto. They say the land was granted to the Six Nations more than 200 years ago and was never officially transferred to non-natives.

The province says aboriginals gave up the land in 1841 to make way for a new highway.

In late March, the protesters ignored an order from an Ontario Superior Court judge to end the occupation. Talks to end the standoff broke down on Tuesday.

Six Nations filed a land claims suit over the area in 1999.

Police did not immediately comment on the raid, but were expected to do so later Thursday. Henco Industries, the property developer, hasn't commented on the day's events.

* INDEPTH: Ipperwash

In 1995, another OPP raid on a native occupation made national headlines when an unarmed protester was killed by a police sniper.

Dudley George's death at Ipperwash Provincial Park became the subject of an ongoing inquiry, which has heard testimony from former Ontario premier Mike Harris. Aboriginal protesters return after pre-dawn eviction

Joe will win the Hart. He single handedly turned San Jose around.

Poor Boston fans.

"TB" is short for "terabyte", 1000 gigabytes (some would say 1024 gigabytes).

Aloha,

Brad

I found this and did not know there was a difference

A terabyte is equivalent to 1000 gigabytes, while a tebibyte is equivalent to 1024 gibibytes

Terabyte - 1000GB

Still can't forget the Leaf fans *angry* that Ottawa got a franchise.

Hahaha. I was angry as a Hamiltonian.

I laughed at Rick Mercer saying he's out of a job doing his "One Tonne Challenge" commercials.

Iran just had to go and announce they are a nuclear nation just in time for the North American driving season..See how much gas/oil went up that day...

Hahaha....Even though I'm a Leaf fan I do have the ability to see that there are other teams out there and will even admit that they are better than the Leafs.

Man you guys sound like Leaf Fans :wink:

man that looks nice.

The only spam I get are the one's asking me if I would like to make my dick 7 feet long :wink:

Sundin with 6 points last night, yet he only managed a +/- of +1. That means he was on the ice for all five Florida goals! Way to go cap! Leafs suck!

Actually the Leafs scored 5 ppg's which doesn't count towards +/-

I just checked and Sundin wasn't on the ice for any Florida goals.

Educate me please, I'm not sure, but are biker gangs such as the Hells Angels not considered an organized crime group?

The distinction is important and I honestly don't know.

Yes, but not enough to be a terrorist group (i'm still trying to figure out that difference)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Nashville goaltender Tomas Vokoun will miss the final four games of the regular season and the entire post-season because of blood clots.

The 29-year-old Vokoun has not played since April 1, when he had 35 saves in a 2-1 victory over St. Louis. The Predators had been listing Vokoun as day-to-day with a sore back, but general manager David Poile said Monday that Vokoun has pelvic thrombophlebitis.

Poile said full recovery is expected, but Vokoun will be on blood-thinning medication for several weeks.

Team doctors thought Vokoun had a back injury, but an MRI scan on Friday found blood clots throughout his abdomen and pelvic area. Vokoun was hospitalized immediately and put on blood thinning shots and pills to reduce the clots.

"We feel very confident he is out of the danger zone," said team doctor Richard Garman.

Vokoun is expected to leave the hospital within the next two days. Garman said Vokoun is walking and talking in the hospital.

"Life must go on," Poile said. "This is a tough loss for our team. He will be missed."

Vokoun, the team's career leader in wins, had played in 61 of the Predators' first 74 games with a record of 36-18-7. He was 9-4-2 since returning from the Olympics, where he helped the Czech Republic win bronze. He has a 2.67 goals against average and a .919 save percentage.

That leaves the Predators leaning on Chris Mason, who is 8-5-1 with a 2.80 goals against average. His backup is Pekka Rinne, who has appeared in only two NHL games.
