Very good Quandary. I've done paella a few times and your recipe is very similar to what I use except I use tumeric rather than food colour. I've chopped up a whole chicken but prefer to go with chicken wings or thighs to avoid the little splinters of bone that I sometimes make with my...

Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for NorthWest Gas said "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr. Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house." (The Daily Telegraph)...

A very impressive book. I read it on the recommendations of a friend and I was not disappointed. I literally couldn't put it down. The link below is to a review of the book. http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/01/21/193221.php

That sounds good too. ;-) This topic has been around for a while.....Good to see it back up.

I took my grandson to watch this latest episode of the Indiana Jones saga last night. We enjoyed the movie even though, like most movies this year, the special effects were somewhat overdone. The storyline was a typical George Lucas offering with plenty of bad guys and lots of action. I...

Nonsense! if all you have are population numbers, you can use those to make an estimate of emissions. This is not rocket science but we have enough figures to make a fairly accurate estimate of emissions based on population numbers.

Accelerated rise in sea levels blamed on global warming By Steve Connor, Science Editor Friday, 25 November 2005 Sea levels are rising twice as fast as they were 150 years ago and man-made greenhouse emissions are the prime cause, a study...

For your information db, and I have looked it up, a volcanic event is tiny compared to 600 million cars as far as CO2 emissions are concerned. I don't know that an asteroid, or a comet would give off much in the way of greenhouse gasses. Depends, I suppose, on what the asteroid or comet was...

There are approximately 600 million cars in the world, each pumping it's tons of carbon into the air. At any given time there are thousands of airliners pumping thousands of tons of CO2 into the air, along with the industrial waste from factories and foundries. Together, they are an...

Global warming is not in question. What is in question in some quarters, is how much man is contributing to that global warming. I don't happen to think we can dump 7 or 8 trillion tons of CO2, along with other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere without some serious penalty. Since...

Well, there's the thing isn't it. If the ice is disappearing, the oceans are warming up, it follows that the air is warming up. If the leaders of the eight most advanced countries in the world are saying, on the advice of their technical people, that we have to do something about it, maybe we...

The eight most advanced, industrialized, countries in the world are telling us that global warming is real and making commitments to lower emissions. That the U.S. and Russia are finally onside is good news.

One would think that this would put an end to all the nonsensical moaning that global warming is somehow a scam that we should ignore, but I doubt it. The Group of Eight industrialized nations on Tuesday endorsed halving global emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 in a declaration praised by...

Y2K was the funniest. I had a neighbor on Gabriola who paid a computer guy to work a full day getting his computer ready for the year 2000. The neighbor is an intelligent guy otherwise. The computer guy is a crook no matter how you cut it.

I see that Nanaimo is going to see 32 degrees today( That's just a hair under 90 degrees) and Lytton will see 40 degrees(104 degrees F.) "It's about bloody time" is all I can say...:lol:

Disappearing world: Global warming claims tropical island For the first time, an inhabited island has disappeared beneath rising seas. Environment Editor Geoffrey Lean reports Rising seas, caused by global warming, have for the first time washed an inhabited island off the...

I love this Doctor. His name slipped away somewhere but I'll find it. Q.I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out...

Good post Mikey..

Eanassir, both you and the Koran are giving me a stomachache. The meteorites that made the mountains? A meteorite as big as a mountain, coming in at around forty thousand miles per hour would make a crater not a mountain. Mountains can form in several ways, two of which are volcanic action...
