Here is an interesting listen from CBC Radio: Ideas - Deniers http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/ideas_20090727_18328.mp3

We had a mini heat wave here last week. Not like some of you experienced, but it was hot for us. We don't usually break the 30C mark around here. What I did was to foil the windows were the overhang of the roof did not block the Sun's direct radiation. The foil with the shiny side out reflects...

Here is a link to a program in Ontario called Net Metering. They do not pay you for power that you produce, but excess power produced can be banked on the grid for up to 12 month to be used at a later date. I plan on using this program if I ever settle down to one area and buy some property...

I wrote this for a bio-pellet maker's forum and thought I would pass it on for you to read. Char is very easy to make in the bon-fire season. An air tight metal container, with a single airhole, is all you need. But your wood inside seal the can, not the airhole, and place on the bon fire. You...

I have been away for a while frigging with this and thought I would let the World in on the idea since it is near impossible to patent. You can easily turn it into a money maker if you are in the plumbing or heating trades. I started this project about a week ago after seeing the Instructable...

I always have the best luck cooking meats like that by, throwing in a lot of veggies beside it, covering them with tinfoil, turning the oven to 250 and going to the bar. 6hrs later there is a juicy tasty meal, cooked in its own juices and will never burn at 250. Always moist and tender. Could be...

I think the list of names and the vouchers for the flight lessons did it for me. This is a prime example of the disinformation network that the gorvernments have. After watching that a person who was see sawing whether to believe the truth would go back to the government side and believe in...

When I saw the headline I was hoping they had come up with the hovering car with inexpensive super-magnets of some sort, but it wasn't. It is an untra-light with a road worthy chassis and retractable wings. Very nice idea if you have the money and the facilities close to use it. I does not...

I read this story and shook my head. Does there seem to be some warped underlying isse here, or is it just me? If I have an eight year old child with me and I see a transport turning the corner I would get the child out of the way. I would be aware of my surroundings. I would not have my child...

Windsor auto workers seize shuttered plant Last Updated: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 | 9:37 AM ET A group of disgruntled workers at a recently closed auto parts supply company in Windsor, Ont., have taken over the plant. In the latest bizarre twist in a saga that has been brewing since...

I saw this story and I, myself, say no they should not be able to. The death goes with that job although the situation may have been quite tramatic for him. I would assume that with a medical discharge which he received he is getting a good pension from the RCMP, and if the condition is so bad...

I heard about this today on the CBC Radio: Editor's Choice for today. The man was handed a conditional dicharge after smashing the hands of a 16 year old who molested his 5 year old daughter. A fire arm was also used in the incident. It is quite an interesting story as both the fethers where...

The United Nations agency placed overnight work in the same category as anabolic steroids and ultraviolet radiation in terms of cancer risk. Scientists suspect that overnight work could be dangerous, because it disrupts the circadian rhythm, the body's biological clock. The hormone melatonin...

No passport? No problem! Updated: Mon Mar. 16 2009 16:59:10 ctvmontreal.ca Premier Jean Charest is the first person in Quebec to hold a drivers licence Plus--a licence with an RFID chip in it that can unlock the bearer's personal information. It is an officially accpetable passport...

I first cam across this product about 5 years ago. Awesome for saving and protecting leather goods. I was in Sault Ste. Marie and was sold a can of it. I took it home and did up an old leather bomber jacket I had. The jacket was so dried out that it crackeled. Likely would have done a lot of...

I was not sure where to put this thread as it is more of a paranormal/witchcraft topic so I stuck it here. I was reading the thread Tyr put up on abortion and morality http://forums.canadiancontent.net/news/82702-abortion-not-immoral.html this afternoon, and it reminded my of a question that...

This is a rehash of another thread but should be looked at again. The Georgian Guide Stones are coming up to an anniversary on March 22. They were unveiled in 1980 after being commissioned by an anonymous group of individuals. They were said to be the guide for the surviving humans of WWIII...

(CBS) Mike Dello with CBS13 in Sacramento tells the story of how a spider bite helped a man walk again after 20 years in a wheelchair. David Blancarte, of Manteca, has been in a wheelchair since a motorcycle accident at age 21. Eight months ago he was bitten by a deadly Brown Recluse spider...
