  1. A friend of mine is attending Lakehead at the moment. I'm aware of the fact that BNB originated there, and I'm also aware of how good of a band they are. And how well respected they are around these parts by many of the people here, including myself.

    My friend asked me if I could do anything to help. And I told him that I might be able to stir up a couple extra letters for the cause. Hence the BNB reference on this thread.

    I figured it couldn't hurt to throw a great name around for a worthwhile cause. Besides, for all we know Friendly could be organizing the Bumper Pool tournament of the 21st Century as we speak. It can't be all that bad.

  2. If there's any Guelph folks kicking around. I drive a Pay Loader during these snow stricken times. No need to shovel, just shoot an address my way and if it's reasonably close to my route (reasonably meaning have a coffee ready for me) I'll swing by and get rid of that slushy shit in a jiffy. I go back in at 4am. And I'll have a Bobcat floating around the downtown area Monday and Tuesday. Have Fun weathering the storm folks.

  3. Thanks for that Booche. I sent it too a few friends of mine that made me appreciate this guy's talent when I was just a weeun. Much appreciated. Just threw in Musicology after watching that. It's not a bad album.

    Thanks again,

    Cheers.

  4. black vinyl white powder by simon napier bell

    The lowly third position of musical pursuits in the familiar cry of "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" suggests what Simon Napier-Bell's book Black Vinyl White Powder makes all too clear: from it's mid-1950s beginnings: pop music has always been intrinsically linked not only with sex, but with all manner of illegal substances. Indeed, it is an often-repeated fact that success in the music business will frequently be accompanied by more than mere musical activity. "Drugs are sometimes as important as talent," explains Napier-Bell in this entertaining and often compelling read, and it is from this angle that he presents his gripping 50-year history of pop.

    So I'll ask you once again Friendly...............

    Where's The Deal?

  5. I apologize for the fact that I am not computer friendly (missing the attachments and such) but this is a completely viable issue that you folks should respond too.

    A very good friend of mine who attends Lakehead University is looking for some support along with many others on this issue and there is a need for many more.

    I support the fact that I'm not computer friendly. I've just learned that fact though. Whereas, I've always supported a good cause.

    Write a letter would ya?

    Currently Listening To A Lil Marley

  6. Over the last couple years the President (Fred Gilbert) and Vice

    President (Michael Palowski) of Lakehead University have been planning

    to lease out 6ha of forested campus property. This land is located

    adjacent to MacIntyre River and the field house (Please see the

    attached map for the approximate area).

    The City of Thunder Bay is proposing to build a Grade 7 to 12 high

    school on land which they currently have the Thunder Bay Country Club

    golf course. This results in the golf course losing a significant

    portion of their greens. As result they are looking to expand the

    golf course on land that they would lease from Lakehead University

    (see map). They would be cutting the forested land and leveling it to

    make it a suitble area for their golf course.

    This land is both uniquely valuble forest for Lakehead Unversity

    being such a accessible green space that students faculty and Thunder

    Bay citizins have been using for years.

    As Forestry student this issue not only affects the beauty and

    health of the campus but it also may threaten the quality of education

    that we recieve. We use this forest in many of our classes and extra

    curricular activities:

    -Timbersports (This is where you practice!!)

    -Campus Rec(walking, biking, camping, volley ball, relaxing by the

    river)

    -Urban Forestry course(Tree health and soil quality)

    -soils course(soil pits)

    -Dendrology course (Plant collection and ID)

    -Forest Pathology course (Fungi collection and observation)

    -Fish and Wildlife course (wildlife oberservation and realeasing)

    -Forest Entomology (Insect colection)

    -Introduction to Ecology course (water sampling)

    ON Friday February 3rd there will be a LUFA meeting at 230pm to

    inform both faculty and students alike on the issue and actions we can

    take to ensure that our interests are met.

    A Public Meeting will be taking place before Thunder Bay City council

    On MONDAY FEBRUARY 20, 6:30PM

    AT CITY HALL (3RD FLOOR)

    500 DONALD STREET EAST

    ****** currently LUSU is trying to change this date since it falls on

    reading week*****

    This is our opportunity to bring foward concerns that we have with the

    leasing of this land. We chose Lakehead for a reason and the forests

    that are near us is a big part of that.

    Let your voice be heard,

    Kelly Von Bargon and Tara Allman

  7. Figure we'll bring him for just 1 night/1 day, then leave him with his grand parents for the rest of the weekend so mommy and daddy can show Del how to have fun.

    If there's anyone that can hold a candle to Del on May 24 weekend at Izzy's it's gotta be Hal Johnson and Joanne Macleod. I mean shit, I gave it a go and I'm no slouch. I'd be more than happy to see Del doing jumping jacks with Joanne and Hal. Shall we say Sunday Morning around 5:30am?
