  1. a few things i found that were left behind when i picked up my kit at the lanc on sunday.

    a pedal

    a tuner

    a harmonica and holster

    let me know.

    neugroove

    is the pedal a ludwig speed king with a broken linkage?

    and welcome artmastertilt! you've finally decided to while away more of your free time :)

  2. i really don't think that the money is a scandal as such' date=' what i do wonder about is whay the the gov't would be propping up an unsustainable industry. OMAFRA has all sorts of programs in place for tobacco belt farmers who want to quit tobacco...why not throw the money in there??[/quote']

    If they would just let all these people grow hemp we could solve several problems all at once.

    tell me. i've talked to the hempola valley guys a couple of times now, the only complaint that they have is that in their 1st year a bunch of kids stole some of their crop :)

    here's hoping...

  3. Sources said the break -- worth about $500,000 -- is aimed at the constituency of Immigration Minister Diane Finley, who is thought to be in some danger of losing the next election.
    Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced the tax break Friday, saying it was needed to save about 200 jobs. Simcoe Leaf has 41 employees, but swells to about 200 at peak season, residents say.

    $500,000 / 41 = 12,195 per job

    $500,000 / 200 = $2,500 per job

    how many of the 200 seasonal labourers are "guest workers?"

    imagine giving the 41 employess each $12,195 to retrain? or giving all 200 each $2,500 to retrain?

    imagine giving Simcoe Leaf $500,000 to transition to an alternate crop?

    i really don't think that the money is a scandal as such, what i do wonder about is whay the the gov't would be propping up an unsustainable industry. OMAFRA has all sorts of programs in place for tobacco belt farmers who want to quit tobacco...why not throw the money in there??

  4. I've said it many times before and I will be saying it many times after.

    She's a cunt.

    agreed.

    but she is doing something with her time other than squabbling over The Estate. She was part of producing a pretty good documentary called The Future of Food.

    against that though, there's a BBC documentary that was done documenting the legal wrangling around Jerry's will, i think it was called "You Can't Take it With You." in that doc shee was interviewed and went on endlessly about how well The Estate was doing and how she was deeply committed to protecting The Estate, which struck me as pretty fucked considering that she IS The Estate!!!!

    arrh.

  5. EX-CELLENT.....

    that excellent was....excellent.

    turner's crossing the floor not so much.

    as a resident of halton i would far rather have a liberal then a conservative, but garth could have really made a splash by joining the greens.

    i am curious to see how the by-election talk is handled, admittedly the circumstances are different, but he will no doubt be reminded of his comments on david emmerson...

  6. If you hate the Mac vs. PC ad campaign, you'll enjoy this:

    I hate Macs

    Ultimately the campaign's biggest flaw is that it perpetuates the notion that consumers somehow "define themselves" with the technology they choose. If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality.
