  4. I don't think BVI is a country, it's a territory still "executed" by Britain. So I guess take that off the list.

  6. Do you still love looking at her when she talks about putting a stick up her bum and then rubbing the poop on someone?
  7. I had to warm up to it. Some of the dialog is strange and I'm not much for song in sitcom but it did grow on me. Whoever compared it to Curb Your Enthusiasm must've been out of their mind when they dreamt that up. There's no comparison. Basically Larry is god.
  8. It's wierd and raunchy but we are laughing out loud watching it lately.

    Levon Helm Sues

    I made a promise to hit up one of his BBQs the next time it happens but it is ALWAYS ALWAYS sold out whenever I try to get tickets. I'd happily pay $200 a head for a ticket vs. paying the same to sit in the nosebleeds at a police concert, especially knowing a larger majority of the cash will get straight to Levon. Especially because Levon actually needs it.

    wedding

    Kilcormac looks small but fun: Gotta be nice to visit them in a place like that. I think the Irish say "Go Mare" or "Go Maire" when congratulating someone. Good Craic is more like a fun time or a good time.
  11. I think it's worth is negligible, as I've always thought it equally valuable in circumstances outside of the environment. That's why I used it in reference to Iraq. Hux is right though that a larger majority of scientists believe in the science of climate change to warrant taking action to curtail it. The economic gain/loss factor is really the only way forward since companies and industry as a whole...oh fuck well you might as well just say "polluters" to encapsulate all the possibilities...don't behave the way individual humans do. That is to say they don't behave altruistically and generally don't rely on Precautionary action so much as assessing the risk. The reason I think the tool works both ways is simply because there is a risk to doing something, and there is a risk to not doing something. The 'polluters' who are turning the corner are realizing the latter is true...the risk to not curbing their emissions is a big-ass dent to their financial stability.

    conservapedia

    Take a look at the The Conservapedia Commandments for more specifics on how they differentiate themselves from wikipedia. It's kind of confusing, definitely too protectionist for my blood and if its truly all based on facts and figures about liberalism I feel bad for the moderately conservative and moderately liberal christians who, by religious linkage, are lumped in with these folks. This is quite funny: The below refers to the language and spelling commandment:
  14. I loved that food so much I never noticed it took like two hours to come to the table. So so good. I can almost taste the callaloo soup.
  15. Fuck! I heard that on the news but never would've guessed it was Caribbean Flavours. What a drag.
  16. Cue invasion of Iraq on suspicion of WMD presence. It was argued in much the same way. If Risk Assesment is the Yang to the PP's Ying with so many things, and you cant really meet between the two, it's a little hard to know what is rational, necessary, or safe to do with respect to climate change.
  17. Must be a remnant of 2005 when Bluesfest mistakenly expanded into cities even more uncool than Ottawa, with tragic and financially disastrous results.

    Someone ought to spam you a Webster's and maybe the e-version of grammar for dummies
  20. I was also at this, I remember the rain and I remember eating a risotto's worth of mushrooms. That was my one and only P-Funk experience sans George and it was truly outstanding.
  21. Speaking of Richard Belzer a.k.a Munsch from Law and Order:SVU, we rented Groove Tube a few nights ago and it had some good and funny moments to it. Belzer is one of the sketch actors in it as is Chevy Chase.
  22. Strange coincidence Dave-O as just this morning I was talking about this very place! It's callled L'as du Fallafel, and here's some info on it: http://www.infoparis.com/all/present.php?rub=6&fi=1059 I wouldn't go all that way just for a falafel, though it is outstanding. I remember there were some pretty cool shops in and aroudn the Jewish area where this place is.
  23. Great guy, huge pothead, a bit of an emotional trainwreck. great environmentalist.
  24. Here's a response from the Global Citizens for Change Coalition: The Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade’s report on Sub-Saharan Africa has ignited a much-needed debate on aid to that continent. Far too many citizens of Africa continue to live in grinding poverty, despite the billions of dollars spent by well-meaning western agencies and individuals. Yet amidst the challenges posed by under-development, conflict, corruption and HIV/AIDS, we should remember that there are many examples where assistance has made a real difference in people’s lives. However, our organizations agree with the committee’s call for aid to be better rooted in the actual realities of Africa. More decision-making powers on how aid is spent should be in the hands of the communities directly affected. That’s how most volunteer-cooperation agencies work -- in partnership with community groups trying to reduce poverty. We do need improvements to the way Canada administers its Official Development Assistance through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) - both in what we support and how best to administer this assistance. But we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. We must not lose sight of the many successes the agency supports; for example, the efforts of the dedicated Canadian volunteers we send to the field who are responding to development needs as expressed by Africans themselves. Aid, of course, has never been the full answer to poverty reduction. As called for by the Senate committee, we must look at Canada’s trade policies, to ensure our borders are open to African businesses. It does not help Africa if international trade policies are skewed in favour of heavily subsidized industries in the west, while dumping below-cost goods on fragile markets in developing countries. We must also continue to advocate for debt cancellation for the world’s poorest countries, and ensure that future World Bank and IMF grant and loan conditions do not diminish a national government’s ability to invest in health and education. And we must take action on threats to life and human rights in Africa – in Darfur and elsewhere on the continent. While we agree with the Senate report’s call for greater economic development, we caution that support for health, education and an active civil society remain critical. In fact, these investments in people are prerequisites for the sustained economic growth envisioned in the report. Failure to invest in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs, including access to affordable medicines, will doom economic development efforts. In countries most burdened by the disease, the pandemic ravages people in their most productive years and lays waste to local economies. While the Senate committee is wary of direct support to African governments, we believe that within a framework of accountability and results, Canadian funding to democratic and effective governments can help ensure appropriate investment in basic health and education systems to meet the needs of their citizens. One of the committee’s boldest recommendations is to create an Africa Office that would see development, diplomatic and trade personnel working under one roof. While it may sound logical, it may in fact weaken the committee recommendation to better ground aid in the realities of Africa -- Canadian trade and geo-political interests could take precedence over ending poverty. Trade, aid, diplomacy and security have interconnected but separate goals. We believe that wide-ranging reforms at CIDA can lead to the improved aid programs the Senate report calls for, along with the appointment of a senior Minister, a proposed legislative framework on aid making its way through Parliament, and clear and measurable objectives. By all means, let’s take a clear-eyed view of our involvement in Africa’s development. Ultimately, the best way to end debates on foreign aid is to build local economies and end poverty. From first-hand experience, Canada’s volunteer-cooperation agencies have seen that a better future is possible and within our reach. We hope the Senate report will help feed a sense of urgency - not despondency - for continued and constructive Canadian engagement with Africa.

  25. Here's my new thing: Choucroute Garnie. It is strangely satisfying and you can get an excellent mix of smoked and white sausages (plus good sauerkraut) from the Sausage Kitchen: Sauerkraut Garnished with Smoked, Cured, and Fresh Pork Serves 6-8 Choucroute Garnie a l'Alsacienne No other dish shows off the richly varied charcuterie of Alsace quite like choucroute. This recipe was adapted from one of eight varieties served at Maison Kammerzell, Guy-Pierre Baumann's legendary choucroute institution in Strasbourg. 1-1/2 lbs, fresh ham hocks 1/4 cup goose fat 3 small yellow onions, peeled and finely chopped 4-1/2 lbs. sauerkraut, drained and rinsed 3-1/4 cups Alsatian riesling or other dry but fruity white wine 1-1/2 lbs. boneless pork loin 1 lb. smoked ham 1/2 lb. slab bacon Bouquet garni with 1 head garlic, 3 whole cloves, 6 juniper berries, and 5 coriander seeds added Salt and freshly ground black pepper 12 medium red bliss potatoes, peeled 6 fresh pork sausages, such as saucisses de Strasbourg 3 blood sausages (optional) 1 tbsp. peanut oil 6 smoked pork sausages 1. Place ham hocks in a large pot. Cover with water and simmer over medium heat for 1-1/2 hours. Drain and set aside. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt goose fat in a dutch oven, or a large heavy pot with a lid, over medium heat. Add onions, cook until soft, 10-15 minutes, then add sauerkraut, wine, ham hocks, pork loin, ham, bacon, and bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook in oven until meats are tender, about 1-1/2 hours. 3. About 35 minutes before serving, place potatoes in a pot of salted water over medium-high heat and cook until tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain and keep warm. 4. Prick fresh and blood sausages, if using, with a fork, then place in a skillet, cover with water, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Drain. Dry skillet, add oil, and heat over medium heat. Brown fresh and blood sausages (if using), turning occasionally, then remove. In the same oil, adding more if necessary, brown smoked sausages, turning occasionally, then remove. To serve, spoon sauerkraut onto a large platter, discarding bouquet garni. Slice pork loin, ham, and bacon, and arrange on platter with ham hocks, potatoes, and all sausages
