Opinion: Putin is playing with fire - CNN.com It looks like Putin is no pushover. But what can be done to persuade Russia to change? Threats are passe with Russia. After watching the Nazis round up their whole family in village churches and setting it on fire, how big a threat can we make...

Well, nows the time to get the maintenance crew on the Quebec manic power lines which we've been holding off doing. Good time to take 'em down since everything is nice and quiet on the trade front. Some of our watersheds could be diverted to Canadian water energy projects. It's only going now to...

I'm trying to get a table of current furnace oil prices in eastern ontario and can't seem to get straight answers from the web. I just heard prices are way out the ballpark this year. Hope not, I not working and I need good prices. Where's the ombudsman when we need him? Anyone get fleeced...

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/06/14/toronto-taser Just two points: The defense's argument that the cop had low blood sugar at the time can go two ways. Does this mean for the sake of public safety that the unpredictability of diabetic cops to control themselves will cause...

It looks like Ontario will be more flexible in allowing for drinking in public,etc. One thing that bothers me is that it still allows the police to define what constitutes allowable conduct on a case per case bases. This "judicial" liberty extended to these law "keepers" on Ontario's part voids...

Hi all: An elderly lady likes to sing along and asked me to do a search for the lyrics of Huey MacDonnel's , "What the heck, let's go to Quebec". (Think I have the title and author right.) Thanks Andy:smile:

What's all the hoopla about comet attacks. How about this. While most solutions involve missiles attacking asteroids anyway, and there is no immediate threat for decades, why not find a mountain sized asteroid that is just mozying along in the cosmos, (so that it can be...

It is mandatory for Canadians to take a 125.00 gun safety course and exam prior to applying for a firearm Possession and Acquisition (PAL) license. Once having passed the exam, the applicant's form triggers an investigative screening process where the applicant is checked for suitability...

What's going on here folks.? Within 100 square miles of my county I think I may find 2 "dime store" CT wind generators, and maybe in the back woods stumble on a serious "dutch" sized monster if I look for a long time. Ontario is setting out regulations for wind generation. One such...

Really peeved with these guys. I connect direct to msn.bell.mail, I don't use thrid party mail programs. It first asks me to logon with user and pass. While I'm typing in my password, on the right the ads for my credit state is going nuts. This is very poor and dangerous programming...

Just 3 observations on Justice as it relates to Original Sin and the Fall. From NewAdvent/Original Sin: 3) ........ Consequently the privation of this grace, even without any other act, would be a stain, a moral deformity, a turning away from God, aversio a Deo, and this character is...

I class this with the Obama threat that they won't be buying foreign steel. They like to poke unresponsive Canada since they do nothing in reaction, except to bow obediently. To both: Canada has a wealth of natural resources that we could restrict from selling. No nickel, no steel...

I am building a quarter quadrant (90 deg) staircase for my front porch. My stairs will radiate from a fixed apex on the right like a fan would. I want to access the side of the porch from the front of it to save driveway area. It measures 49 inches in radius (90Deg) and curves and rises to...

So tell me again why I should be greatful for existing? Perhaps I was happier as a cloud of quirks and strings.:smile: Simply out of the desire of a superior being I come from neutral comfortable nothingness "to be", only to be confronted with some realities, that I am "being" forever, that...

I can't unistall Norton AntiVirus 2005. My control panel Install/Unistall of NA2005 pops up a window telling me it needs IE5 or greater, which I uninstalled because it was so virus attractive I had to dump it. Also the program thinks it's running an install, even though the CP knows the package...

We are loved more by God than satan hates us. This we are assured over and over again. But at times where the opportunity could arise and prove this out, we are left wanting. Every now and then there are subtle indicators that this may not be so. Ever the opportunists, we are told angels will...

What's it worth to have cleaner air to beathe.? BMW Germany is making headway on a new hydrogen car. It has gone so far as to road worthy it, done crash tests, and it's proven slightly more efficient in energy production than gas. I can buy a car for 30000$, pay for it for 5...

I recall in my youth that mostly every Catholic house had a little shrine dedicated to the Blessed Mother. These were either corner shelves with the bust of Mary or her statue, and draped under these was a fine embroidered cloth, and on either side an indigo blue candle holder. Some would have a...

I've been trying to make a large wholesale purchase from a Shangai company. They say they only distribute through a company in B.C. The BC company itself claims to be a manufacturing company(?????) and distributer. To contact them via e-mail, you need to go to another site by yet another name...
