LOL ... nice one Brad

Would love to go Baj. It's just not in the cards for me this week If you bump into Rob Eaton at all, be sure to say hi from me.

I love the fact that the comment was written by one of us pinko communist Canadians too BIG BREWHAHA Anti-God Starbucks cup has customer steaming Woman says: 'I don't think there needs to be religious dialogue on it. I just want coffee' Posted: May 6, 2007 2:07 p.m. Eastern © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com An Ohio woman is steaming after reading an anti-God message published on the side of a Starbucks coffee cup. The message that got Michelle Incanno's blood boiling reads: "Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure." Michelle Incanno of Springboro, Ohio, holds a cup part of Starbucks' 'The Way I See It' campaign (Dayton Daily News) The quote was written by Bill Schell, a Starbucks customer from London, Ontario, Canada, and was included as part of an effort by the Seattle-based coffee giant to collect different viewpoints and spur discussion. "As someone who loves God, I was so offended by that," Michelle Incanno, a married mother of three who is Catholic, told the Dayton Daily News. "I don't think there needs to be religious dialogue on it. I just want coffee." (Story continues below) Incanno of Springboro, Ohio, admits she had been a huge fan of Starbucks before discovering the message, always ordering a large, house-brewed coffee with nonfat milk and two Splenda. "I wouldn't feel right going back," she said. The paper says Incanno wasn't satisfied with a company disclaimer saying the quote is the author's opinion, not necessarily that of Starbucks, which invites customers to respond on its website. Starbucks spokeswoman Sanja Gould said the collection of thoughts and opinions is a "way to promote open, respectful conversation among a wide variety of individuals. " Starbucks cup with a pro-homosexual message caused controversy in Waco, Texas, in 2005 (courtesy: Seattle Times) This is not the first time a message on a Starbucks cup has caused controversy. As WND reported in September 2005, officials at Baylor University told the Starbucks store on its Waco, Texas, campus to remove a cup said to promote homosexuality. The offending cup featured the words of homosexual novelist Armistead Maupin. It read: "My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short." Baylor University, the world's largest Baptist school, refused to comment on the issue, said KCEN-TV in central Texas. Employees at the campus Starbucks said none of their customers had complained about the cup, but they removed it nonetheless.

i'll vote for ya

I wished i could have hung out at the park, but I had other things that took priority I did drive by at around 3:30 and it looked like a great time. TOns of people. Jay Cleary was quoted in the Toronto Star today: http://www.thestar.com/News/article/210943 Queen's Park rally goes all to pot Police keep back as crowd lights up Jay Cleary, one of the organizers of the bands that played throughout the day, announced from the stage that "we're here to smoke our brains out and have a good time," which prompted a smattering of applause. He thanked the city for allowing the event, and police for tolerating it, noting the festival has been held nine years in a row without any arrests.

I saw it in the theatre when it came out too ... was 6 at the time. Pure magic. I love the whole series, cheese and all. What's amazing, is watching my kids go off the hook watching the movies too (they are 3 and 5 ) They even know tons of the character names too. Use the Schwartz.

I'm still waiting for JR to pop McKenzie ... before the end of the playoffs hopefully!!! Great finish to the game. Jagr is a fucking pussy. Can't stand that arsehole (along with Hasek) !!!GO SABRES GO!!! I also love the way Ruff has the balls to bench a healthy "star" on his team. Seemed to work like a charm. I wish more coaches would do this (or be given the permission from top brass to do so). Give the players a little perspective now and then Why the FUCK is there a game at 1:30pm tomorrow? RIDICULOUS. GO SHARKS GO

Wild listen. Check the audio out from this link. I didn't know that he was a shock jock/radio moron like Michael Coren http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/02/audio_rudy_giul.html

Interesting. Way to go Norway. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/04/business/worldbusiness/04norway.html?ex=1335931200&en=bf2bff622406f256&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

wow ... i seem to know an odd amount of those 0.1% hmmmmmm

Don't you know, you're a TERRORIST until proven otherwise. They def know how to read body language. They also pick up on people who have "practiced" their story too. Best advice, from all my experiences crossing, ONLY ANSWER WHAT THEY ASK! Border: Citizenship? Me: Canadian Border: Where are you going? Me: Buffalo Border: What for? Me: Concert Border: Where? Me: Town Ballroom Border: Who's playing? Me: Gov't Mule Border: Do you have a gun? Me: no Border: Go ahead. Simple as that almost every time. They usually toss in an off-the-wall question to stump you if you had a pre-fab story. Coming back in to Canada and dealing with the Canadian guards is almost always fun and friendly. Although recently I had one who was trying to be a bit of a dick (coming back from Phil @ SPAC after driving through the night) Border: how long have you been gone? Me: yesterday Border: anything to declare? Me: just one bottle of liquor Border: YOU CAN'T BRING THAT BACK, YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY DUTY!!! Me: Yes, I know Border: Oh, OK. Go pay for it then. They were just bored, but it was the fact that he responded as if he had caught me trying to smuggle a bottle back when all i had done was disclose that information to him. I chuckled. The one bottle I pay for after bringing back dozens . Fair deal

Phorbsie, i'm with you. Same situation. I grew up when mothers were encouraged to use formula (kickback to family physicians i'm sure) and was very healthy as a child ... my sister too. Both my kids were breast fed (not my breasts ) and are doing great ... but get sick just as much as the next kids do. For some mothers, the experience of breast feeding is horrible and painful and for some it just doesn't work. The added stress of people telling them they are less of a mother because they are not breast feeding is plain cruel. This is not good for the baby or the mother. I have seen this happen.

Thanks for the tip. A couple of comps would be kinda cool.

Rogers is notorious for traffic shaping with their network. Dirty bastards. You can talk to them until they are blue in the face, but they will deny it. They cap you when they find out you are running torrent, or P2P, software. So, you pay for a service and they don't give it to you. A buddy of mine at work gave up after trying everything with Rogers. He no longer does much with torrents and instead paid $13 for unlimited (even though it says it's not) data downloading via usenets through this portal: http://www.newscene.com/pricing.html He can get a ton of shit there and his speeds are blazing. Sorry, i know that doesn't really help with the great torrent sites that cater to live music

Sweet!

Now, are the Sedins going to rush back and play for Sweden? If they do, i bet they all of a sudden figure out how to score again!
