I've seen one kit that used powder, and made the assumption of all the rest. I've been given so many homemade wines from so many people, and all seem to have the same issues. They might smell good, but they tend to be thin and unpleasant. Like I said though, that's the reds I've tried. I've...

I find the kits tend to smell WONDERful.... and taste either like water or just plain foul. And the hangover from powdered wine kit reds seems to be one of THE most hellish things a person could expirience. And you don't even need to actually get drunk to have the hangover. Lovely.

Some of my fave reds are Chilean. Like Doc said, they're ridiculously underpriced for what you get. Cassilero del Diablo out of Chile is one of my fave vineyards. Out of BC I really enjoy Mission Hill's whites, Jackson Triggs makes a respectable Cab Sauv, and Grey Monk makes a delicious...

This has been a nagging issue in the back of my mind for a while now. In our current paparazzi lifestyle, can heroes still exist? Will our jaded minds allow true heroes to exist anymore? Would the great men and women of the past, to which we hold up potential new heroes, have survived the...

A must see video clip for anyone. Be sure to watch all the way to the end. Hollywood can't copy this kind of drama. Absolutely amazing.

The idea has been raised that the CanCon membership might like to participate in a charity event. We're batting around the idea of hosting a post-a-thon. All monies raised will go to a charity as yet to be decided by the membership. Your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated, along...

Anthrax outburst near Fairview seems contained DEREK LOGAN Herald-Tribune staff Friday September 14, 2007 The fear of anthrax doesn’t seem to spreading like the disease itself. Despite an outbreak of anthrax that killed 52 bison in the Fairview area last month, public response seems to be...

So, if any of you have called any talked to me today (what? You never phoned?), then you'd probably be aware that I have the head cold from hell. This one set in within the space of about 15 minutes, like someone had punched me between the eyes. Suddenly, I was carting my laptop off to bed...

Dear Mademoiselle [...], [...] returned her 2" binder, bought as per the specific Grade 2 supply list, and told me she needs a "smaller" one. She is unsure what size, and seems confused as to the fact that she had two binders when she left for school today, a 1" and a 2". If the teal 1"...
