Harper confirms June G20 summit in Toronto - The Canadian Press
Prime Minister Stephen Harper confirmed today that Toronto will host the G20 summit on June 26 and 27, 2010. He made the announcement in South Korea, which will host a second G20 summit in Seoul, in November.
The initial plan was to hold the Group of Eight summit in Huntsville, Ont., and the second, larger G20 meeting somewhere nearby. But last month, RCMP Commissioner William Elliott said the area is just too small to host the G20 summit, despite tens of millions in expenditures to bring the area up to world standards.
Good times coming to my city!

So my Doctor tells me,
I should DEFINATELY get the H1N1 shot. I now have my second cold in five weeks, I am sure from running the gaunlet here at Metro Hall, taking the TTC, and in general, not having great Karma.
If only a member of my family was a hospital board member, played for the Calgary Flames, or other Pro Sports team.

Calgary Flames and their FAMILIES jump the queue for H1N1!!!
Really? Shocking! I mean COME ON Jocks are way more important than the "at risk" general population. Some would argue, that with travel, exposure to thousands, etc they should be innoculated.
Pro athletes jumping health queues? It has never happened before – other than, you know, an athlete getting an MRI every time he snaps his fingers or a ligament or two; those same MRIs that you, me and the milkman wait weeks or months to obtain. Other that that, I mean.
The Raptors admit "some" players and staff have been given the shot. They issued a statement saying they "have followed the protocols and recommendations established by Public Health officials regarding both the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccinations" and that "only certain players and staff have received the H1N1 vaccine."
"We have not done a full-team immunization," GM Bryan Colangelo said. "We have offered seasonal-flu (shots) to everybody, but I don't think everybody has taken it. But everything we've acquired has been through the normal protocol."
Wait your turn motherfuckers. You are athletes, not high contributing members of society, or without resources to look after yourself.
Gawd...Let's not get me started on society's ill placed importance on athletes, beauties, and obsession with lives of pretty people

I'm not the only one who drinks at 7:00 am
This story from TMZ makes me feel so much better
"Kiefer Sutherland racked up the following $700 bar tab between 7am and 1pm. Yes, those times are correct. We've learned the "24" star and members of the show's crew popped into The Spot in San Pedro, California last week after wrapping up a shoot nearby - and they were ready to get their drink on.
According to an employee at the bar, Kiefer was throwing back scotch & Cokes and bought drinks for everybody in the joint - roughly 30 people.
The total damage: $500. No food ... all booze. The drinks may have been stiff, but Kiefer wasn't - we're told he tipped $200. FYI: We're told Sutherland - who has a few DUIs under his belt - was responsible this time and used a designated driver when he left the bar."

Halloween...
Best halloween story: My friend was dressed up as a mummy...all wrapped in gauze, we were at a house party in Scarb...YES I was in Scarb (but it was the 80's) We were all having a great time, I remember we were all dancing to THRILLER ! (I am sooo old)
Anyway, my friend after tons of stimulants...walks right thru a 3 pane patio door, falls, blood, glass all over the place, we find some one to drive, and we were all howling laughing....
The emergency nurses loved it...all bandaged up...before coming to the hospital
Alas, I am old and do not expect much excitement. Kids are coming and going to a party in Barrie, I am thinking of coming back to my city, and watch the sites in the hood!

Agassi Admits to Crystal Meth (Gack) use in his book
"Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I've just crossed.
"There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I've never felt so alive, so hopeful - and I've never felt such energy.
"I'm seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds."

Disney to refund Baby Einstein DVDs in Canada

The Walt Disney Company is offering a refund for all the Baby Einstein DVDs that didn't turn children into pint-sized brainiacs.
The company has agreed to reimburse Canadian and U.S. parents $15.99 per video through an extended return policy.
The move comes after years of campaigning by parents and education groups who denounced the videos' claims that they could improve the cognitive development of toddlers.
"The videos aren't education. Babies under the age of two don't gain anything from television," said Josh Golin, spokesperson for the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.
Baby Einstein, founded in 1997, quickly became a major player in the electronic media market for babies and young children. Disney acquired the company in 2001.
The refund offer covers all videos purchased between June 5, 2004 and Sept. 4, 2009. The offer expires March 4.
In May 2006, the campaign complained to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, arguing that educational claims made by Disney in its packaging and on its website went against scientific research.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says no children under the age of two should watch any television.
As a result, Disney dropped the word "educational" from the product's marketing.
However, the campaign pushed the issue further, and last year, lawyers threatened a class-action lawsuit for deceptive practices unless Disney agreed to reimburse the full purchase.
According to the lawyers' letter, Baby Einstein's sold about $200 million (U.S.) worth of products a year.
"This is a huge victory," Golin said. "It's important that parent
