The Pentagon has formally accepted the offer of the jet from Qatar.

I remember postal strikes back when I was living in Montreal, and there were reports of bags of undelivered mail in ditches in rural Quebec. The union has said it will continue to deliver social security type cheques despite the strike. That is, unless Canada Post decides to impose a lock-out...

I wonder if that was the cause of the Toronto and Montreal Bell internet blackouts this morning?

That's the feeling I had when the Panthers were in the Leaf's defensive zone. It felt like the Panthers were on a constant penalty power play with a man advantage, organized and methodical, while the Leafs were scrambling around, finding it almost impossible to get the puck back over the blue line.

Given it takes a week to send a simple regular size envelope from Toronto to Montreal, and even a bit longer to Winnipeg, I see absolutely no reason that more than twice a week lettermail home delivery is necessary. And given the small quantity of mail most individual people receive at their...

The problem is that there is no affordable acceptable substitute for Canada Post. Waiting out an extended strike would be disastrous for many individuals and small businesses. Check out the costs of alternatives, such as FedEx and UPS. How would the average person or small business who has to...

Re-watching Mad Men. Unlike a lot of series that were just as good the second time I watched them after they first aired, not quite as really good as I remembered, but still worth watching.

I download the photos from terb that I like and save them to a 2TB external hard drive. I have a program called "Duplicate Photo Finder", which I use periodically to weed out photos that have been posted more than once. Of course I keep one copy of any duplicates. You would be surprised how...

Imho Canada Post mail processing and delivery are essential services. Strikes by Canada Post workers should be illegal. Their labor disputes should be settled via binding arbitration. Too many people and small businesses get hurt when they strike.

Kinda wondering why nobody is at least partially blaming Coach Berube for the Leaf's shortcomings. The Panthers played like a well-oiled machine, showing evidence of an abundance of practice in pin-point passing, being in position so that your team members know where the other team members will...

Don't ask for pineapple on your pizza in Rome. They'll throw you out of the restaurant, and ban you for life... :geek:

I hate to say it, but it was also a lack of teamwork and skill...

And now it is 5 - 1 , and the fans are leaving. Toronto deserves better...

Its early in the third, but imho the better team is winning. The Leafs turnover the puck, miss passes, flub shots, and if it wasn't for Woll the score right now would be 5 to 1 at least... And the Panthers do it all RIGHT! So few mistakes, and much better position play.

When I'm at a spa, or an incall, I try to hang my clothing on a wall hook or coat rack, if provided, rather than on upholstered furniture. Have to admit I'm even kind of nervous about movie theatres, so thank goodness there's not much to see these days...

Motor failure and a strong current drove the ship into the bridge.

Here are few more from Brenda & the Tabulations... And here's the trailer for Whit Stillman's "Metropolitan". Set in the late 50's or early 60's New York, it concerns the life of a group of wealthy young preppy socialites during debutante season in Manhattan. In addition to some of their...
