  1. if you're doing the beer thing use a saucer.

    I would suggest that you get a couple of ducks. They lay eggs that are - by all accounts I've heard - delicious. Ducks think that slugs are delicious.

    And they're adorable animal cohabitants.

    Just remember: If you don't eat eggs your neighbours probably do. They just might have a few extra brews for you now and then for it.

    But for now...a saucerful of beer will attract slugs and you can drink the rest of the beer for good measure. No waste at all.

  2. I think that it could be far more effective to support proper vaccine education rather than blocking homeopathic products, INGH-Donny.

    If you're vaccinated and someone close to you isn't finding their Nosodes are working then that's Darwinism in action.

  3. Obama calls Harper a "large lump"

    Diplomatic tensions rose today after a Fox News camera caught President Barack Obama talking to one of his press aides and making some very undiplomatic comments about Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper after the two met briefly at a Washington international benefit event.

    As Obama and Media Relations Director Clive Leonard walked away from reporters, the Fox newsfeed clearly picked up the conversation.

    LEONARD: "The Prime Minister is requesting a 15-minute meeting Mr. President."

    OBAMA: "What's with that guy?"

    LEONARD: "Sir?" (coughs)

    OBAMA: "He's shifty...he's never standing where his voice seems to be coming from."

    LEONARD: "Ummm..."

    OBAMA: "And he's a large lump isn't he? All pudge and hair."

    The comments were aired after a one-second tape delay before Fox News began repeating them in their entirety with added commentary. White House officials immediately asked Fox to stop airing the embarrassing comments but the network's leading political commentator Bill O'Reilly responded to the request live on air with "Yeah right!"

    Other news outlets quickly began running the footage with CNN's Wolf Blitzer (not his real name) stating that the President's harsh words were "school-yard" and could damage relations between the two countries at a time when cross-border issues such as the Keystone Pipeline are already causing friction. However, Wolf could be seen snickering when Obama was shown saying Harper is all pudge and hair.

    "The President chose not to talk about the state of the American economy today. Instead, the President chose to talk about the considerable belly and hokey hair of our close Canadian friend," said John Boehner, Republican Speaker of the House. "True Americans do not call our friends lumps."

    Prime Minister Stephen Harper officials were unavailable for comment.

    The White House issued a statement indicating that they do not comment on "eaves-dropped and out of context" conversations but one senior Democrat called the President's comments "tame compared to when President H. Double Ya Bush was taped saying German Chancellor Angela Merkel had big knockwursts."

  4. Mass shootings have long since morphed from isolated incidents into hard evidence of a fatal societal cancer. Massive love and sympathy to the families of the shooter and the victims of this one. And the next one. And the next one. And the next one...
  5. I can't believe they won't sell out... First time in TO' date=' etc etc.

    Yeah, well Toronto is not California. Dead/jam music still attracts good crowds in California, well, at least it did 10 years ago. I saw New Riders in Toronto probably 8 years ago or so and it was a very small crowd. Further in Ottawa a couple years ago?...sad attendance, as was Widespread Panic.

    I don't think Bluesfest gigs, let alone Ottawa gigs are appropriate to put up to standalone shows in a major city with promotion.

    If the toronto show doesn't at least have half the seats filled I wouldn't expect to see those buses cross the border again.

  6. Seeking local artists, craftspeople, artisans, and generally skilled and interesting people that have something to share or say.

    For the next 2 weeks I will be hoping to document some local flavour and culture with a fancy cameraphone with a 41MP sensor for Nokia.

    Whether it's an interview, performance, web short, clinic, or discussion you may have in mind, please be in touch.

    The microphone starts to distort at louder-than-concert volumes, so musical performances are especially of interest, but if you have a speed shop with muscle cars to show off, a vintage motorcycle, or will be at a fall fair before October that might be great as well.

  7. So if an officer only has access to handguns and tactical shotguns when called in for an incident like this, and an officer has greater accuracy and ability with a long gun, then shouldn't the "What's the likelihood of an innocent party being shot and killed if they do use the gun?" comment be reserved for the handguns and tactical shotguns?

    Maybe they should just try chasing kids out of the building with more basketball coaches.

  8. I'm surprised that was written as the erosion of the 'black nuclear family' and that the author didn't just go with the equally ridiculous argument that it's been eroded in those same socioeconomic dregs for generations. Why condemn a whole group of people about as much, just without as much hope, eh?

  9. Reebok has a disctinct opportunity to revive the CCM bicycle brand by offering crank-forward bikes with in-hub gears if they can sell them for considerably less than Electra does AND make more city/commuter-friendly crank-forward classc designs. It could be a hit.

    Maybe your book could help the brand image and lead up to a relaunch?
