q: "Is there anything that Focus on the Family should do more of?"

a: " yes. focus on YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY!"

thanks dave. this made me feel very good.

kitkat, um, no but he is very cool, and i'd really like to see him adopted.

deb, i don't think we can make it this weekend, but if you guys are serious, we may be able to work something out.

katlady? any word from halbert?

What's the music like?

I'd be guessing 'Dead covers.

yup.

yay!

passing through guelph a few weeks ago, i caught my first glimpse of the Sprawl Mart...it looks for all the world like a castle sitting up on the hill overlooking guelph.

boo-urns!

let's hope that the progressive folk elected yesterday do their thing.

more free live music than you will be able to listen to in several lifetimes.

bump.

here's hoping tht hal and kat lady are the cat's new home.

he's really sweet and we will help have him fixed if you can offer him a good home.

and no willy, your barbeque is not a good home.

"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," said Roth. "To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."

rocket surgery, water under the dam...priceless.

yay neil! way to find your way out.

happy birthday!

Oh, what a handsome boy!

How old is he (approx.) and is he good with other cats & kids?

he's probably less than a year old, has no problem with our cats. we are already full (five cats...yes i know, please don't start...) he is very friendly and docile and takes to new people. don't know about kids but he seems generally well disposed to bipeds.

Of my new avatar?

it's a beauty.

if you want to eat him, you'll have to come get him yourself

municipal election turnout is generally even lamer than provincial or federal...that shouldn't be. this is where the decisions that affect your quality of life are made. go and vote!!!

so niffermouse has rescued another stray cat from our neighbourhood. he's extremely friendly, and we are trying to find him a home before it gets cold out. free delivery to most anywhere in SoOn, he is not yet neutered but will be (pay what you can if you can, if you cannot i will).

so, how was it?

hey SG, that's very interesting. i've been very curious about rockbox due to its' ability to deal with FLAC (hello? apple? open source lossless compression?) and you can access the ipod as a drive and drag/drop files?

hmmmm...maybe i do need to think more aboot this.

cheers

or you could find an apple service depot and talk to them about it.

at very least they should be able to whack it & reformat it for you.

failing that, there's open source software called rockbox that will run on an ipod.

i've been contemplating it, but have not yet tried it for fear of messing something up. but if you're already at that stage, maybe you have less to lose

from an old enron stock certificate...

del, that is the best weirdest avatar i've ever seen on here. you have brightened up a drizzly saturday.

oh yeah, and the band. come check out ned wreckmouse in cambridge on the 17th! can't beat the cover (none) and del will be there inhaling squirrels that he caught in the park at set break.

I really don't think people should be driving stoned, drunk or tired. I'm always uncomfortable in cars where the driver smokes a big fatty. It always seems to be done with the notion that you can't get in trouble for it.

Well, you sure as hell can wreck a good paint job or someone's nice new leased vehicle while increasing everyone's insurance rates by driving impaired. Oh, and you can injure things while your at it to the point of possible death.

I suppose if there is an undefined grey area, and they cannot confirm that the small amount in your system isn't impairing in nature, then you've got a flawed system and someone who smoked 3 hours ago could face fines or a license suspension.

What do you think of this?

i agreee that impaired is impaired...whether it's a cellphone, 4 beers, or a big fatty. i think what makes me nervous is how exactly the "evaluation" works, and whether or not this will give a roadside cops further license to make someone's like more difficult...the "grey area" you speak of is exactly what worries me, and anything that "worked well in the states" frankly gives me the heebie jeebies.

CBC story.

Police have been asking for this type of power for years. But unlike breathalyzer tests, which can determine a driver's blood-alcohol level, there has been no surefire scientific test to determine what drug a driver may have used.

"If we see someone driving erratically, we really have a high hill to climb to prove it's from drug-impaired driving," Sgt. Brian Bowman of the Toronto Police traffic service told CBC News Friday.

"We almost need the smoke to waft out of the car or have the pills fall out on to the road."

Bowman said drug recognition evaluation — a series of tests that looks for families of drugs — will help Canadian police notice the signs and symptoms of drug impairment in drivers who have been pulled over, then testify against them.

The evaluation has "proven itself in the States to the point where hopefully, our courts will be ready for it," he said.

Harper acknowledged there are "technological challenges" in terms of testing for certain kinds of drugs, but added "there are ways to strengthen the legislation to get convictions in clear cases" of driving under the influence of drugs.

Time for a little Renedification....

hidely ho, homo-reenos!

the moment i saw the byline of the article (denver - shudder- ) i thought of all the "focus on the family" folk in colorado springs. i wonder if they're helping?

don't quit your day job until your night job pays
