I've done my business.

Did you reply to all in the group?

HEY the Adams division just got it going. All four are now drafting.

I haven't heard anything from the Smythe division yet.

Sure there will be a few sleepers here and there

Lindros is a sleeper' date=' right?? :wink:

[/quote']

He will be once he gets knocked out for having his head down again

hahahaha

It's times like this I wish I had public transit. Maybe i'll start riding the box cars :grin:

Sure there will be a few sleepers here and there

Lindros is a sleeper, right?? :wink:

$1.35 this morning

Other gas prices around the world:

# Greece: about $1.35 Cdn a litre

# France: about $1.88 Cdn a litre

# Britain: about $2 Cdn a litre

# The Netherlands: about $2.19 Cdn a litre

I believe the majority of those who are looting are to stay alive.

In some cases yes, but I don't think that new TV and VCR are going to help.

And remember:

"It has been suggested that the gender-specific term "manhole cover" is not politically correct, but the gender-neutral version "person-hole cover" does not seem to have caught on. Alternative suggestions include "inspection cover" and "access hatch". One proposed name is "Maintenance Hole" or "Maintenance Hatch", which doesn't require changing the acronym and hence many city maps."

Did you leave a tip?

There's the tip of the mountain!

The boat's going to tip!

Ask for a few tips on how to fix that.

It's all context and how it's being used.

Or "Excuse Me Mam, would you like THE tip". :wink:

It was seriously soul destroying work.

I felt that way as a summer student at Dofasco (2 times). I couldn't get an education fast enough!

It's going to be an expensive drive @ $1.20/litre

Watching "The Kids In The Hall" always made me laugh when the entire scene was making fun of Scott Thompson being gay. They threw every stereotype at him and it was OK because he is gay.

Low Roller, remember that Sept5 is Labour Day back here. Lots of hung over people.

I like the one they have on Sportsnet where you pick your players for each week. Some teams may play 2 games and another may play 4. So you load up on the team that plays 4 games that week.

Do you find these ad's funny or annoying?

I thought you were going to that huge patio bar in Huntsville.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Nine northeastern U.S. states are working on a plan to cap and then reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the first U.S. deal of its kind and one which would see the region breaking with President George W. Bush who refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol

The move comes as California, Washington and Oregon are considering a similar pact -- a dynamic environmentalists say could pressure the federal government to adopt a national law. Bush refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, the greenhouse gas reduction plan adopted by more than 150 countries.

Under the plan being worked on, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont would cap carbon dioxide emissions at 150 million tons a year -- roughly equal to the average emissions in the highest three years between 2000 and 2004.

Starting in 2015, the cap would be lowered, and emissions would be cut by 10 percent in 2020.

Each state legislature would have to approve the caps, said Dennis Schain, a spokesman for Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection.

"This is a process that would be an agreement among states and to really implement it and have a firm commitment, the states will each have to approve legislation and regulations to meet these conditions," he told Reuters.

The draft is being circulated among industries, power companies and environmental groups for feedback, he said. The group hopes to reach a final agreement in September.

Phil Cherry, policy director at Delaware's Department of Natural Resources, also confirmed details of the pact.

Many scientists believe carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases cause global warming that is affecting coastal areas, icebergs and wildlife. Around 40 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions come from fossil fuel power plants.

The United States is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide. The Bush administration wants cuts to be voluntary and resists mandatory measures it says would hurt economic growth.

Many international leaders have criticized Bush's refusal to sign Kyoto, which is meant as a first step toward braking a rise in global temperatures from a build-up of gases from fossil fuels emitted by power plants, factories and cars.

In the absence of national control on emissions, Schain said: "This seems to be the appropriate course of action."

The so-called Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative would explore a market-driven cap-and-trade system where businesses must trim emissions under set limits or buy credits from companies that have complied with the limits.

Environmentalists praised the proposed plan.

"It moves the United States further toward doing something about the problem," said Kert Davies of Greenpeace in Washington, D.C. "That eventually allows us back into the global solving of this problem."

The deal was brokered by New York Republican Gov. George Pataki, who is weighing a White House run in 2008.

Pataki spokesman Andrew Rush said no final deal had been reached but, "We've made a lot of progress and we look forward to reaching a final agreement."

Political experts note such a plan brings Pataki national attention. "This is another clear signal that George Pataki is positioning himself on the national stage to run for president," political strategist Hank Sheinkopf said.

A regional emissions control program would likely cause higher energy prices for power company customers in the Northeast, but Delaware's Cherry said the states had not yet decided on a method to combat rising costs.

That's not a birthday cake. It's a pocket pussy.

After going back and giving a good listen to all the BSC sets this summer, as good as Umphs were in their limited short sets, they never took it out there like some of their other shows in 2003-2005. The podcasts from this year really do highlight some of their best moments from each month. Definitely listen to podcasts 6-10, which feature mind blowing jams in april > may. Some of the Stews and JO's are amazing. Speaking of jams.. I can pretty much pick out stews now, especially after understanding the jam formula as described above, but I still have a hard time hearing Jazz Oddessey jams.

I really enjoyed podcast5 as well. Sprinkled with Zeppelin. Nice!
