... you got to be careful with what you keep free.
In Sky News today I'm learning about Eric, an American man who brewed coffee naked in his own kitchen and is now facing indecent exposure charges and could be jailed.
In a country where you have a right to carry a weapon in public, you don't have the right to walk around naked in your own kitchen?! What was this mother doing looking in his window anyway?
Some nudity won't kill anyone - a gun will!

Paper Lions - a musical adventure
I had plans to see Young Galaxy tonight, but unfortunately they were not able to make it to town in time for the concert. Instead, I ended up waiting around for the "Late Show" which was to be put on by a band called PAPER L IONS, written in small print on the ticket.Let me tell you, PAPER LIONS should not be printed in small letter because this is a band full of talent, creativity, and energy. Lucky for you, Paper Lions is back in Thunder Bay on November 5, 2009.
Visiting their myspace page I would not say that the music you can hear fully represents the performance I heard tonight. On stage, live, they are raw, loud, and shear musical joy - go see them!
“You guys said we did this for the show.”
I guess when the attention from participating in the show Wife Swap died down, the life as an anonymous every day family was too much to handle, so lets go for a helium balloon ride - or not.
He seemed well prepared young Heen where he was hiding in the attic, with his snacks and toys and I think his statement on CNN last night speaks for itself; “You guys said we did this for the show.”

Made by a misstake - nothing but wrong.
It has already been blogged about, thankfully because there is nothing but WRONG in the latest Ralph Lauren (RL) ad. Ralph Lauren claims that the ad was created by a mistake, but somehow I doubt that - does Ralph Lauren seem like a company that would make mistakes?
Well, actually they do make mistakes, and this ad is the proof, however it was not a mistake from their end. On top of it, they tried to quiet all bloggers by threatening to sue based on copyright infringement. Then, according to Filippa, the face in the ad, RL fired her for being "too large."
I should throw out the two pieces of RL clothes I own, I am quite clearly NOT the type of person they want to be wearing their clothes and guess what - it will be a while until I step foot in a Ralph Lauren outlet, if ever again.

Give Olympic athletes flu shot priority
CBC could today report that Bob McCormack, chief medical officer for Canada's Olympic team, told CBC News the Olympics provide a potential breeding ground for the H1N1 virus and that provides justification for making athletes a priority for the vaccine.
Knowing how anal top athletes can be about their health, I think I would be more worried about the audience, the volunteers, and everybody else that will be in and around the Olympic trails.
And,until I see Canadian Top Athletes take over for Younger Women as the group hardest hit by H1N1 I'll say "Get in line!"

Nobel's Peace Prize 2009 goes to....
...Barack Obama! (Barack Obama får Nobels fredspris )
I'm not quite sure why as I still need to read the committee's rationale. Not that I don't think President Obama is not capable of ever receiving a Nobel's Peace price, however, I would like to see him demonstrate his capability rather than giving it to him based on his vision.
You know, Yassir Arafat and Shimon Peres also received the prize - for their work in Middle East.....
What I do think is clever about the Choice of President Obama is that it will again raise world wide awareness about the Nobel's Peace Price.
Or maybe, the Committee Members, really, really, really wanted President Obama to visit Norway and this is the only why they knew how to get him to come visiting.

Canada - slow at advancing the use of Technology?
When I first moved to Canada about nine years ago I wondered where I had moved to.
My first job in Canada I received a pay cheque which I had to go to the bank to cash - since my first pay I've been used to direct deposit - ten years prior to moving to Canada.
I wanted to SMS with people, but they looked at me funny. Either they did not have a cell phone or, if they did, they did not know what SMS was - which makes sense, since it was not available.
In the last nine years, much have changed, however now, we're falling behind once again. What does Canada not have in common with Angola, Congo, Haiti, Greenland, and about 100 other countries? Kindle!

The ignorance of the Catholic Church
Once again the Catholic Church is "struck" by a scandal that involves church officials and young children. You can learn more about the case that unfolded in Nova Scotia, Canada, by reading Globe and Mail.
Globe and Mail also covers an interview with Father Molloy in today's paper. Father Molloy was the priest that a young boy confided in when he 20 years ago observed pornographic material (apparently of young boys ) at the home of Rev. Raymond Lahey - the man that now, 20 years later now has porn charges against him.
Yesterday, I heard an interview with Father Molloy on CBC radio and he said "I wish this case would just go away. It's been 20 years and this case just don't seem to want to go away."
Well, here is news for you Father Molloy - THINGS JUST DON'T GO AWAY! Regardless of how much the Catholic Church just closes their eyes and thereby things "go away" - things are still there. Obviously you can't go around with your eyes closed all the time and once in a while you will catch a glimpse of reality and low and behold - the reality is not the same as with your eyes closed.
I don't really care for or about the Catholic Church - but I do care about its victims therefore I hope to see the Catholic Church actually handle these sex scandals in a proper way (other than closing eyes) and start DEALING with reality to put an end to abuse.
