When your sp reminds you to buy your wife a birthday present - you are a regular.

It would appear that the real issue of the UN Security rejection is the relations between Harper's government and the Obama administration. If the US wanted Canada on the Security Council we would be there. They did nothing on our behalf. As well, the UAE would not dare kick out the Canadian...

In reply. The aid money that has been raised and donated to African countries has allowed corrupt regimes to remain in power that are not beholding to their own people. These regimes can bring in their own supporters and increase the size of the government and the corruption is out of control...

I think that it would have been very difficult for Canada to have won the vote regardless of the comments of Ignatieff or the policies of Harper. In fact I think that we would likely have lost the vote if the Liberals were in power. Europeans are going to vote for themselves - both the...

I find Bono and U2 to be very self serving. They make sure that no charitable act is not recorded by the press. They use it to market their albums around the world. Make no mistake it is a business and the charity angle is excellent marketing. There are many celebrities that do great work...

I think with Komi it is simply a question of foot speed. He is not very fast. The Leaf coaching staff just have to be careful in how they use him - and he can be effective. Look at Hal Gill and Pittsburgh as an example

Some have suggested getting a physical and I think that this is an excellent idea. The depression could be related to a medical condition. I remember a case that we worked on of a guy who felt a little lethargic and weak. He was lacking energy and was feeling overwhelmed. After a set of...

Great comments. I should have clarified though. I think Stieb played for much worse teams than Halladay. The first four years of Stieb's career - the Jays were 53-109, 67-95, 37-69 (strike shortened season), 78-84. The first four years for Halladay - 88-79, 84-78, 83-79, 80-82. No...

The Stieb vs Halladay debate reminds me of how bad that early team was. I think that Stieb likely would have had 20-25 more wins with better defence and a better bullpen. I mean he had Joey McLaughlin as a closer!! The thing about Stieb was that he was such a competitor (not that Halladay is...

No I don't think I am clueless. These are famous people and therefore they have media attention - that is true. But they certainly were able to overcome something they could not control - their height - with something they could, develop talent etc. But you were complaining how short people...

Well they didn't start as celebrities.

Tom Cruise 5/7, Kurt Cobain 5/7 ,Kurt Browning 5/7, F.Scott Fitzgerald 5/7, Regis Philbin 5/7, Ross Perot 5/7, Clyde Barrow (of Bonnie and Clyde) 5/7, Henry Winkler (Fonzie) 5/6, Stalin 5/6, Napoleon 5/6, Beethoven 5/6, Peter Falk 5/6, Dustin Hoffman 5/6, Theo Fleury 5/6, Cheech Marin 5/6...

Also I think the Jays want to take a look at guys like Drabek and Stewart in September and see what they have.

No doubt that it will be sad to lose the likes of Shatner, Ligthtfoot, Neil Young et al - but these individuals were able to give their all to their chosen professions and we saw their best work. What is tragic is when great Canadians die in the middle of their careers. We were just seeing...

Some fave quotes I love "80% of success is just showing up" - I think it was attributed to Woody Allen. "The first wealth is health" Ralph Waldo Emmerson. "Its fun being me, is it fun being you?" - Denny Crane Boston Legal. Also a fave lyric from a song "Nothing's worth having without some...

You need to discuss your condition with your doctor. He/she will likely have you go to a sleep lab for a full analysis of your sleeping habits. It is likely that you have sleep apnea. Before investing in the equipment there are specialists that can make recommendations as to the right...

If you think your height limits you in meeting women OR if you think your height has no impact on meeting women - you are right.

The first thing that you might suggest is a very thorough comprehensive health assessment. Some of the suggestions are a little simplistic as there could be a combination of issues involved here. Diet is not just counting calories (actually diet soda and margarine are terrible for you) and...

The Heat as a team may be great but I really wonder how Chris Bosh will perform. He is going to take a pounding every night as teams will know how to counter the Heat's outside game is to pound the ball inside. With all the money tied up in Wade, James, Miller and Bosh - Chris is not going to...

I saw this rumour on another board but it does make some sense - Gagne and Coburn to Toronto for Kaberle and Finnish goalie prospect Rynnas
