Jones Needs To Learn Cats Playbook ASAP

This weeks preformance by the Cats actually looked promising. Although they gave up five touchdowns to the 'Esks Ricky Ray, they made a game out of this weeks tilt with the Edmonton Eskimos, who came into the game with a 4-1 record.

On paper this game should have been a blow out for the win less Ti-Cats, but Hamilton managed to pull off their most successful offensive performances of the year and they did it in style.

Considering the Cats had only scored two passing touchdowns all year, it was exciting to watch Tiger-Cats’ D.J. Flick catch an 18-yard touchdown from Danny mismanage in the second quarter.It was Flick’s first TD of the season.

Tiger-Cats backup quarterback Marcus Brady, filling in for an injured McManus in the third quarter, connected with Chris frazzle on his first pass of the game for a 24-yard touchdown. McManus left the game with an apparent thumb injury, and did not return.

With the Tiger-Cats needing to rally in the fourth quarter, linebacker Rob Hitchcock caught a 19-yard pass by kicker Jamie Boreham on a fake punt resulting in a first down. Brady would complete a 20-yard touchdown to Brazzell later on the drive to pull Hamilton within 29-27.

But Ray led the Eskimos down field on a seven-play drive, ending on Tucker 15-yard touchdown reception.

Down 36-27, Boreham booted a 49-yard field goal, giving the Tiger-Cats a chance on their final possession. But the Eskimos defense stopped Brady at midfield, as Edmonton hung on to the victory.

This begs the question, with Danny Mac out, will Khari Jones, whom the Cat's picked up from Edmonton last week in an effort to give Hamilton a legitimate back up QB, be ready to step up and stop the bleeding?

Secondly, can Jones make it work with this same receiving core that just can't get on the same page with Danny Mac. Resulting in numerous drop balls. If he does, will this test Lancaster and Marshall's loyality to Danny and force Greg to yank McManus
permanantly?

I hope so, McManus is a graet field general, but it's about time we got some soldiers who can make an assault on the end zone.

A Poem For My Mother

Eternal
copy write 2001

Another year has passed, sun, moon and earth.
Together in eternal harmony.
Mother earth, father sun and their children named star and moon.
Dancing to and fro, around the heavens in sweet embrace.
A bond that cannot be broke forever.
A song accompanies.
The celestial families dance, an aria of sort.
Melodies strings and harps.
Played by an orchestra of angels.
Accompanied by gods earthly creatures.
From subtle chirps of the smallest of birds.
To the thundering bass of the largest of beast of burden.
To each a spot on this heaven sent scale.
Creating the most perfect of composition.
As I sit, reflecting on the past.
On what was once.
And upon the hole left in my heart.
By the passing of my mother two years ago.
Her life cut short like a delicate and the rarest of lilies.
By some freak spring storm.
It's wrath, not even the heartiest of mother earths
Creations could withstand.
A hole where heavens bloom once reached for the sun remains.
Heavens mates, sun and earth.
One gone in body, but not in spirit,
Life's code suggests a cycle of death and rebirth.
To fill the void, in the garden. Each of the blooms surrounding the hole.
Had to grow stronger and bigger.
Stretching out forth towards their father sun.
To form a stronger chain.
One hoping to hold tight against further storms.
Children of strong earth and nurturing suns rays.
Bonding together to bask in the suns energy giving glow and setting.
Deep their roots in the enriching soil.
Their mother toiled so hard.
Year after year, turning clay into rich soil.
A strong base for her kin.
To sink deep, their roots, soaking up every drop of nourishment that she could offer.
Allowing her children to grow forth and stretch their roots outward.
And their pedals upward, seeking soil of their own.
To procreate new children.
As I continue to write this, still feeling the effects of winters chill.
I can not help grow warmer with each pen stroke, each brings forth.
A warm memory of my dearest mother in body, mind, and spirit.
She will always be with me.
So will her teachings of hard work, courtesy and kindness to those dear.
As each year passes.
When the earth seems dark.
I only need to stretch out towards the sun and my fellow kin.
To feel the unembered glow of our departed mother.
Forever now and forever hence.
Will the aria play.
And the dance of the heavens and the earth.
Stride on in harmony.
Eternal simply put.
My father's strength, my mothers love, my gratitude.

Thank You Mom.
You Will Always Be Remembered.
Your son.

Unabomber's Effects Ordered To Be Sold

Tell me I'm not the only one to find this story, a little disturbing. A federal appeals court last week ordered the government to sell thousands of pages of Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski's papers and other personal property to the highest bidder.

Common sense would dictate a response of public shun for these items. But no!.There are collectors in Florida, New York, California, Ohio that are clamering to get anything from him according to Tod Bohannon, owner of Murderauction.com, an auction Web site for murder memorabilia.

Bohannon's site, created earlier this year after eBay banned the sale of murder-related items amid protests from victims rights groups, features dozens of items from killers including John Wayne Gacy's framed Illinois license plate and letters written by Dennis Rader, the BTK killer in Wichita, Kan.

Experts, noting that some of Gacy's clown paintings he created in prison have sold for as much as $10,000, believe the Unabomber's journals could fetch more than $1,000 apiece.

Thank god, this crap will never show up on the "Antiques Roadshow". These collectors need to get a life. And I hope the U.S Government convinces the Federal Court to burn Kaczynski's stuff and send them down to hell, where they belong.

Bigfoot Hair a Hoax Says Scientist

A story out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada reports that a hank of hair purported to come off Bigfoot may well have come off someone's wall instead.

"You can't fool us with a hair sample," wildlife geneticist David Coltman said yesterday in announcing the hair was from a bison.

Coltman's University of Alberta team performed DNA tests this week on the hair reportedly plucked from a bush near Teslin, Yukon, this month.

"The DNA sequence from the Teslin hair sample produced a 100-per-cent match with known bison sequences," said Coltman at an occasionally hilarious news conference yesterday.

"This hair sample could not have come from the hairy, bipedal animal reportedly sighted in Teslin last week."

The hair DNA was so degraded it was probably years old and could have come from a stuffed animal, he said.

"It could be a consequence of the tanning process used to preserve hides and trophy mounts," said Coltman.

Bison are uncommon in the Teslin area of the Yukon.

The result came after days of speculation about the hair, found close to where several people swear they saw a large, hairy creature one evening.

Coltman went on to say that he already is working on his next case of the supernatural. Alberta's answer to Detective Mulder, says that within hours of debunking the myth of Bigfoot he got all a call from a women stating that she had heard a large dog like animal scratching and clawing across her roof.

She went on to add, that she felt it could have been a Werewolf.

I was hoping this hair was real and they could extract DNA and track down the elusive harry beast. Can't you see it know, a new season of the surreal life with Big Foot, Shack O' Neil, a return visit from Ron Jeremy and Paris Hilton. Big feet, big hands= well you know. And Paris is just a big hoe.

Life Path's of Sinners and Saints

It is interesting how people's names can dictate their life paths based on the principles of numerology. To show demonstrate I will use the names of those considered the Top 10 Evil Persons of The Twentieth Century based on their crimes as well as the Top 9 Spiritual Leaders of All Time. I am using the Pythagorean system for this demonstration.

Here is a chart showing how you figure out the variables.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

Example: K-E-N-A-Z
5 2 1 5 8=2 +1=3

Here is what the numbers mean.

The numbers 11, 22, and 33 are said to be master numbers which are not reduced to a single digit. People whose names correspond to these numbers are said to be highly developed spiritually. The number 33 is that of avatar.

Life path number 1
progressive, innovative and don’t hesitate to take the initiative; they are life's leaders. This is a number that suggests a clear sense of purpose and a powerful motivation to accomplish goals. Ones make the most of every opportunity that comes before them.

There is a slight danger that ones can get peoples backs up by their single minded determination and their desire to achieve at all costs but generally the momentum generated by their enthusiasm and their leadership skills win through.

Positive characteristics:

Excellent leadership qualities mean that those with a one life path number are able to seize the moment and make the most of all opportunities that come their way. Courageous and reliable, they are the first to step up to the plate in times where decisive action needs to be taken.

Negative characteristics

Lacking sensitivity and patience with those who lack their ‘vision’ and who fail to match their incredible pace. Sometimes there can be can reluctance to accept advice, preferring instead to act on their own plans.

The lesson of the One life path number is to realise that they do not know everything and that they can learn much from listening to the opinions of others.

..life Path number Two

Two represents the number of partnerships and of cooperation. Two’s function best when working as a partnership rather than going it alone. Most twos prefer to be ‘the power behind the throne’ rather than assume a dynamic leadership role for themselves.

Two’s have an innate desire to maintain balance and harmony in a relationship and because they tend to be very sensitive to the feelings of others can build strong partnerships by their flexible attitude. They dislike confrontation and injustice of any kind, constantly seeking out equitable solutions to any conflicts that come their way.

Positive characteristics

Two’s are balanced, considerate of others and non-judgmental making them perfect in any kind of partnership either business or personal. Twos tend to be highly intuitive and wiling to make personal sacrifices for the greater good. They are fair minded and sympathetic.

Negative Characteristics

Occasionally twos can be moody, over emotional and indecisive. They can also have problems taking the initiative and making a firm decision at times.

The lesson of the Two life path is to avoid allowing themselves to be used as a doormat because of their compliant and docile nature.

..life Path number Three

Here we find the number of versatility, energy and communication. Three represents the expression of joy. They are upbeat, communicative, sociable and creative. Threes are flexible and have no problem adapting to changes in life, in many ways they actually look forward to these things.

Threes surround themselves with beauty and harmony, whether in the form of great friendships or good books. They enjoy life and its variety. This is an optimistic and freedom loving vibration.

Positive Characteristics

This is an optimistic and forward-looking number that is always eager to involve themselves with any kind of group activities. They tend to be organised and are good at organising others and arranging events. They are independent, adaptable, forthright and versatile and have a lively sense of humour.

Negative Characteristics

A disharmonious three often has trouble communicating and can appear superficial and indifferent to the needs of others. They can also appear over confident and chaotic at times.

life Path number Four

They are steady, methodical and serious and like jobs to be carefully thought out and tackled in an orderly manner. People with a four life path offer slow but steady progress rather than sweeping changes.

Positive Characteristics.

This is an honest, loyal and reliable vibration. Fours are very grounded and possess the tenacity to carry through the most difficult of tasks due to their strength of will and general perseverance.

Negative Characteristics

The flip side of the coin is that fours fail to express their vibration in a positive way then the appear lazy, indolent, and intolerant of anything that is unconventional. They can be excessively conservative in their outlook and refuse to accept anything that is not tangible.

The lesson of the four life path is to learn to live with life’s restrictions, which can make the four feel hemmed in at times and also to beware of people who would take advantage of their loyalty and industrious nature.

...life Path number Five

The five life path is one of constant movement and change. This is a vibration that enjoys being free of restriction and likes plenty of things to do. Travel, variety and change are great for five life paths. Fives have an adventurous and curious disposition. They also have the ability to multi task often having several irons in the fire at the same time.

This is a life path that often leads to the person following it to initiate change within the family environment.

Positive Characteristics

Fives can sense and respond to atmospheres very quickly due to their adaptability and intuitive nature. They tend to have quite magnetic personalities and because of this can both lead and inspire others.

Negative Characteristics

Occasionally fives can overreach their own abilities and commit them selves to far to many projects. There can also be a problem prioritizing tasks and procrastinating at times.

The lesson of the five is to curb their inquisitive and explorative nature so that they do not to overstep their boundaries and also to avoid taking risks or foolish dares.

..life Path number Six

Six is the number of harmony and honesty. Friends and family and relations between the two are most important to the six life path and the often assume responsibility for ensuring that such relationships run smoothly.

Sixes gain enormous pleasure from helping those around them in whatever way they can and are a joy to be around. This is a vibration that has the belief that justice and honestly must prevail.

Positive Characteristics

This is an idealistic, unselfish, honest and loving vibration. Sixes make fine peacemakers and are enthusiastic about righting wrongs.

Negative characteristics

If used negatively the six life path can indicate too strong a belief in ones own ‘correctness’. It can also result in a lack of assertiveness or an uncaring, mean spirited attitude.

The lesson of the six is to learn that there are those who would take advantage of your giving nature, there is a need to discriminate between the genuinely needy and life’s opportunists.

..life Path number Seven

The seven life path is one greatly influenced by contemplative, mystical and philosophical considerations. The seven life path is one that occupies a different world to other life path numbers. Because sevens think and act so differently it is often difficult for others to relate to them, the seven often wonders if they truly understands themselves, so self analysis because a key issue to the psyche of the seven life path.

Sevens are often attracted to religion and philosophy in their pursuit of self knowledge and inner wisdom.

Positive Characteristics.

Sevens are a meditative and deeply reflective vibration able to focus their energies on looking beyond the obvious. They are sensitive, trusting realistic and wise. They have powerful imaginations and both mental and magical strengths.

Negative Characteristics

Sometimes sevens can be prone to depression and isolate themselves from society. They can also refuse to make practical use of theoretical ideas and can be distrustful of others.

The lesson of the seven life path is to understand themselves without loosing their connection to the real world. The need for solitude must be coupled with interaction with others to develop a fully integrated persona.

More about the life path number

..life Path number Eight

The eight life path is one that combines tenacity and concentration with a powerful drive. Eight if the number of the business person. The pursuit of material possessions will take up much of the eights time Eights have an awesome business acumen and are capable of gaining significant material success

Positive Characteristics

This is a vibration with a natural air of authority capable of organizing others and working towards a common goal. It is also a prudent and astute number, which leads it towards inevitable success.

Negative Characteristics

If used badly this vibration can result in a self satisfied, tactless and domineering personality who is impatient with the weakness of others. They can also tend towards weakness, failure and lack of inspiration themselves.

The life lesson of the eight is to understand that it is important to take the time to enjoy your acquisitions, something they can be prone to forget at times.

.life Path number Nine

The nine life path is one where a strong interest in humanity develops as grows as you journey through life. This is a number deeply affected at soul level by the things that are experienced. Education is a priority for the nine, and even late in life they often take adult education classes to learn new skills and add new strings to their bows.

Positive Characteristics

This is a vibration with a generous nature and a strong humanitarian bent. They also have the gift of oratory and can talk others around to their way of thinking with great effectiveness. The nine strives for perfection but is philosophical enough to realise that it is not always forthcoming. This is a number that can guide and inspire others and gradually move towards the spiritual dimensions themselves.

Negative Characteristics

There are times when nines can be restless and moody. They can also be a little quick tempered at times if they feel that their patience is being stretched too far.

The life lesson of the nine is to avoid being tied down by your commitments to others. Learn that you need both flexibility and freedom in your business and personal life to grow to your full potential.

...life Path number Eleven

Eleven is the first of the three master numbers. Because of the remarkable dualistic properties of the double one which give it the same energies as two ones while endowing it with the spirit this life path number can offer more than its fair share of challenges to the unprepared, this is a number that reaches beyond the mundane yet it is a vibration that offers deep wisdom, intuition and exceptional potential for those who learn to harness its energies.

This is the number of highly original and inspired individuals who are often thrust into roles they would not necessarily have chosen for themselves.

Positive characteristics:

Vast amounts of courage and willpower are always at the disposal of the eleven life path. This is a number that has the same natural leadership qualities as the one life path, but on a higher vibration. This number performs well in difficult situations and at the same time allows them to use their sixth sense to find the best route to attaining the desired results.

Negative characteristics
Elevens can be stubborn to the extreme at times and can demand perfection of themselves and of others. They often tend to get caught up in their own emotions. Elevens can turn their hand to almost anything, but in many ways this can be a handicap as there is the temptation to involve themselves in too wide a range of projects, quickly loosing interest in them once they have established their competency in the field.

..life Path number Twenty two

The number twenty two is the number of the master builder. Within it lies intellectual practicality and work involving large scale projects. This is a vibration that has the potential to successfully integrate higher wisdom with organizational structure. It is also a highly intuitive number with great spiritual instincts.

The double two provides a high degree of cooperation and talent for partnerships with others while at the same time the base of 4 makes for a practical and rational thinker, capable of building great things. Being of service to others comes naturally to this number.

Positive characteristics

Twenty Two is a methodical and precise number. It is very much the number of the visionary, here we see powerful imagination combined with the steadiness required to bring plans and ideas to fruition. This is also a strongly humanitarian number, always conscious of the greater good of society.

Negative Characteristics

Occasionally this number can be intolerant of others who take longer to see the bigger picture with the same clarity of mind and themselves. It can also lack focus at times

The lesson of the Twenty Two life path is to use the multi faceted energy that it offers on a global rather than parochial level. There is much that the master builder can achieve if they are determined enough.

...life Path number Thirty Three

This is a master variation of the number 6, and is probably the most difficult to handle of the three master numbers. The Thirty three master number has a weighty task to perform and expects much of themselves. It is often the number associated with both martyrdom and of unconditional love. The task of the Thirty-Three is to usher in transformation of humanity and bring a new level of consciousness to the world.

If twenty two is the master builder, then thirty three is the master teacher. This is a vibration capable of great patience with people and are especially gifted with children.

Positive characteristics

Thirty three is a kind and generous vibration capable of great empathy. This is an acutely sensitive number which like any other 'six' has excellent visual skills and is quick to spot the beauty that others often miss. This is a number which concerns itself with humanitarian issues and unconditional love. It embodies wisdom, perfection and success.

Negative Characteristics

Occasionally this number can come across as interfering. They can also be reluctant or afraid to express their own needs and to heal themselves and others, even though they are capable of such tasks. If the energy is not used wisely they can tend towards self-pity and martyrdom.

The lesson of the Thirty three life path is to learn not to be too self sacrificing in the overall scheme of things, to live up to their responsibility and fulfil their destiny they must learn the art of balance.

Here is an application of the above principles used the names of the Top 10 Evil People of the Twentieth Century.

Adolph Hitler- 11
Idi Amin- 5
Charles Manson- 7
Jeffery Dahmer- 7
Josef Mengele- 8
Rev Jim Jones-5
Susan Smith-8
John Wayne Gacy-7
Paul Bernardo-1
Karla Homolka-1

Top 9 Greatest Leaders of all time.
Buddha-4
Baha'u'llah-5
Dalai Lama-9
Jesus Christ-7
Moses-8
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu(Mother Teresa)-7
Abraham Lincoln-6
Martin Luther King Jr-3
Mohandas Gandhi-1

Interesting results 1, 7, 11 are spiritual soul numbers. But what makes one person rise to the level of gods in the eyes of their followers, while others lapse into the world of evil, pretending to be gods?

NEW! Feature Tarot Spred For The Week

I've decided to add a new feature to Kenaz's Blog. Each week I will publish a Tarot spread using the Woo-Woo deck.

First, a little about a Tarot spread. First, you are required to concentrate on a basic question dealing with life such as prosperity, love, health etc. To simplify the reading I have chosen a standard question of "Will this week be a successful one?". Each week this will be asked and I will report what the spread says.

I am using a ten card Celtic spread for maximum effect.

The the deck is first spread out face down in the middle of the table and mixed up thoroughly. The cards are then gathered and played out one card at a time, face up as follows.

The Celtic Cross spread is one of the most common tarot spreads. There is a cross in the center, with a row of 4 cards along the side. This spread will provide a fairly in-depth look at a situation including past, present and external influences. Beginners may want to start with a spread with fewer cards.

Positions: 1 - (beneath the 2 card) Basis of the situation. It represents the general tone of the reading and identifies the problem for the querent.

2 - Crosses the situation. This card shows the challenges or obstacles that are facing the querent.

3 - Subconscious. The true nature of how the querent feels about the matter.

4 - The past. Events of the recent past that will have influence or effect on the matter at hand.

5 - Conscious. The querents known feelings, which should be read in conjunction with card 3.

6 - The future. Something that will come to pass in the near future.

7 - The querent. The attitude and influence of the querent, and the role they play in the situation.

8 - The environment. The surroundings of the querent in this situation (possibly reflecting family, friends or work relationships).

9 - Hopes and fears. This card shows how the querent is feeling about the possible outcome of the situation.

10 - Final outcome. This is how the situation will play ou

Now the reading for the week of July 22-28 05.

1.Two of Swords.
Indecision,balanced forces,tension,a stalemate,opposing traits,in need of direction.

2.Four of Penticles.
Material gain but leading to nothing beyond. Gifts, Inheritance,Greed, Lack of generousity.

3.Seven of Penticles.

4.Seven of Cups.

Sounds like a challenging week ahead. It only make you stronger.

Here's a little about the Woo-Woo deck and it's creator. As reviewed at,

The Woo -Woo Tarot

This deck is one of several published by Mystic Eye. It is a Major Arcana - only deck . The cards are larger than average at 3 1/2" X 5 1/4". They feel like they have been laminated, vice coated. The deck was designed as a birthday gift. The art appears to be computer generated and it looks like it is made primarily from clipart. I recognize many of the images from a Corel Mega Gallery set that I have. The Lovers is the only card that contains classic art. They are a mixture of traditional, modern and Native American imagery. The scenes are drawn in a rectangle with a rounded top and bottom. The images sometimes fall outside this area and the artist makes extensive use of corner decorations that tend to provide more defined corners. Overall, the art is good. The images are fairly simple and uncluttered. The cards are brightly colored. The deck reminds me of the Experimental Tarot Deck, only more original. The backs have a colorful design and are reversible. The cards have the traditional names. Strength is eight and Justice 11. I have no idea how the name for the deck was chosen.

There is no little booklet with this deck. Instead there is an 8 1/2" X 14" instruction sheet. The sheet begins with a story that describes how the deck came to be. It seems to be fictional. I won't spoil it by repeating it - suffice to say, the deck is channelled in the story. Upright and reversed meanings are provided for each card. They are brief and fairly traditional. Finally, there are instructions for the Celtic Cross Spread.

I recommend this deck for collectors. Those interested in computer graphics may also want to give this deck a look as it is an example of what can be done with clip art and a graphics program.

Concern Over Possible 'Killer' Bake Goods!

I found this funny web site this morning and I thought I'd share some of the "punny" humour that it serves up. Enjoy.

http://www.brokennewz.com/displaystory.asp_Q_storyid_E_1287bakesale

U.S. and South Korea reacted with shock and suspicion on Tuesday to the first declaration from the reclusive North Korea that it was holding a nationwide Bake Sale.

The US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld expressed concern over the large-scale fund raiser.

"We are curious, yet keep a skeptic eye, over this event" said Rumsfeld. "A fund raiser of this proportion raises many concerns for us and neighboring countries."

The sale by the communist North presents a major challenge to President Bush, setting his second term with a policy aimed at ending North Asia's nuclear crisis. Distribution of creamy pastries and buttery goods might soften political views of those once opposed.

Chang Myung-soon, an expert on North Korea's military at the Korea Institute for Military Studies said that the sale could generate revenue somewhere in the billions. In most part to purchase made to Sweden, Germany and the Massachusetts.

The crisis over the North's baking ambitions erupted in October 2002 when the United States said North Korea had acknowledged it had a secret recipe for Banana bread based on highly enriched flower as well as a plutonium scheme that it had put on hold.

The U.S. feels it can take no chances after failing to deter a Walk-a-thon organized by Russia in the early part of 1981.

In an unrelated food story, Jarrett, the former fat guy who says he lost a ton of weight eating Subway Sandwiches must think we are all retarded if he thinks that his diet plan is sound advice. He states that for one year he ate a six inch turkey at lunch and then a twelve inch vegetarian for dinner.

Doing the math that's about $8.00 a day x 365=$2920! Even if it was closer to $2000 for the year, for that kind of money he could have went to cooking school, learned how to make his own nutritiously balanced meals, then walk home every night. At the end of the year the fat ass would have lost all the weight and wouldn't be on tv everyday making me lose my lunch.

Sorry for the rant I haven't had breakfast yet and my tea tastes like it was brewed in an old rusty tank. Time to CLR the calcium deposits out of the kettle.

Later,
Kenaz.

Producer of "Karla(Deadly)" Doesn't Want To Be Part Of The Circus

Deadly chronicles the crimes of Canada's notorious serial killers Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo. Over the past decade the former couple have gained international fame for their deeds and are often referred to as the Ken and Barbie Killers.

"As I watch that news coverage coming out of (Canada), it's all Karla, all the time," stated Deadly producer Michael Sellers.

Deadly was to be released to coincide with Karla Homolka getting let out of prison in July. This upcoming event is fueling a firestorm of controversy north of the border, where outrage over Karla Homolka increases daily.

"I don't want to be a part of that circus. I don't think we should be. I don't think it's the right thing."

Deadly stars Laura Prepon from That 70's Show and Misha Collins from films such as Girl Interrupted.


'DEADLY' SET TO PREMIERE AT THE MONTREAL FILM FESTIVAL

A movie based on Canada's most sickest serial killers will receive its world premiere next month at the Montreal World Film Festival.

Laura Prepon ("That '70s Show") stars in "Karla" as Karla Homolka, who teamed up in 1993 with her husband, Paul Bernardo, to torture and murder two schoolgirls in a case that gathered international attention because the attacks were recorded on video, which was shown in court. Homolka also helped Bernardo rape and murder her own sister. Misha Collins ("24") will play Bernardo. Joel Bender will direct..

Homolka was recently released from prison in Quebec after serving 12 years in jail as part of a controversial plea-bargain agreement. Bernardo continues to serve a life sentence for his crimes.
The deal became known as the deal with the devil.

The Montreal World Film Festival (Aug. 26-Sept. 5), defended its screening of the film in a statement, arguing that "notorious criminals" from Adolf Hitler to the Boston Strangler had been portrayed in film.

"Some of the actors have even won Oscars for their performances in these films, most notably Charlize Theron in the role of the criminal Aileen Wuornos in 'Monster,"' the festival said.

"Karla" producer Michael Sellers had originally looked to release the movie in Canada in May, but pushed the date to the fall after a public outcry in Ontario, the province where the crimes were committed.


Makers of a film about Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo plan to donate a portion of the proceeds to charity or to restrict screenings in Ontario.

When asked to comment about the makers of "Karla"s offer of a monetary solution to quell the backlash against the movie in Ontario. Toronto Lawyer Paul Burstein, who is one of the lawyers representing the French and Mahaffy families. stated that "he would rather see no one see this film, hence no profit, than see money given",

I don't believe in censorship in anyway, everyone has a right to see what ever movie they wish, but I plead with anyone who may be interested by this movies subject matter or it's big name stars, please reconsider.

Every time one of these monsters are given any press, my heart begins to bleed for the immediate victims of their hideous crimes and the hundreds of thousands more that shared their pain. Again for the sake of humanity, go see one of the many other movies at the film festival that are more deservant of your money and support.

Kenaz.

An Apology To Americans

I found this transcript of one of Canadian Comedian Rick Mercer's famous 'rants' dated December 3, 2003 in my files. I would like to share it with you. I guarantee this will put a smile on Canadian and American faces alike.

Our Sincere Apologies
Courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour has 22 Minutes CBC Television.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.
He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but, we Feel your Pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way, which is really a thinly veiled criticism.

I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Thank you.

Hamilton Hydro 'Crushing the Peasants'

I just received my latest hydro and water bill and I am completely appalled at what Hamilton Hydro is being allowed to- specifically, the additional charges.

My actual consumption for this billing period totalled only $98.95 for electricity. An additional $87 worth of charges was tacked on.

Furthermore, no explanation was provided with the bill, apart from the vague list of charges on the front.

I want a detailed explanation for the following charges: non-competitive energy charges, debt retirement charge, transmission charge connection, transmission distribution charge and fixed distribution charge.

Those at Hamilton Hydro should realize that Hamiltonians are working class citizens- which does not mean low class- and cannot take these hits to their already tight budgets.

It's about time for the wheels of the mighty conglomerate to slow down before they crush the peasants who provide the grease.

This was an email that was written by me and subsequently published in the forums section of the Hamilton Spectator back on August 31, 2002. Three years later, my bills haven't gotten any better and the line from Hamilton Hydro basically boils down to, they are in debt because of mismanagement and government ignorance so badly, both levels agreed that the consumers were now responsible for paying off the debt, paying for Hamilton Hydro to do their job and keep the juice flowing at a reasonable rate.

How could a company the size of Hamilton Hydro continually get away with telling people to shut their air conditioners and essential appliances off at the height of summer because they say there is too heavy a strain on the electrical grid.

Bull! the day Ontario runs short on hydro is the day Niagara falls goes dry. Come on! in fact Ontario Hydro, the main supplier to Hamilton Hydro, admits they have in fact a years surplus for the entire province stored up and are even siphoning off some of that surplus and selling it to Quebec and cities along the eastern US seaboard like Boston.

Bottom line Ontario Hydro runs a trillion dollar crown corporation like a guy having a sale on cheap DVD's. He's got hundreds of them but only puts out a few at a time so he can control the price and keep their potential for profit high.

Food for Thought,
Kenaz

Tips For Turning Your Concrete Jungle Into A Paradise

'Tis the season to get out into the garden and pick out the weed that are threatening to kill all your annuals and perennials that you worked so hard planting in the Spring.

Although this year I decided to say enough is enough with spending a bundle on flowers that I can only enjoy for maybe three month of the year. Southern Ontario is a zone 5 so it gets a little cold for all but the heartiest of native plants by early October (if your lucky).

This year I found a couple of great deals on Ebay for Cotton and Polyester flowers, although they try to sell them as Silk. I don't know why they do this, but it's better that the Tiger and Water Lillies, Orchids, Roses and the two Palm trees (a Yucca and a Phoenix Palm) that I bought are made from this durable blend.

I did a little research and found out that this type of artificial plants are guaranteed for six or more years depending on location and climate. I sprayed a liberal coating of an acrylic lacquer, resistant to water and staining on them, which should extend their wear. Note, test your lacquer out on the underside of a petal or leaf first.

The artificial along with the row of Pine trees lining one side of the yard, the late blooming Lilacs to the rear, and to my pleasant surprise, a large flowering shrub has sprung up on the remaining side camouflaging to an extent an eye sore weed tree that is growing through my fence from a neighbors side who repeatedly states that he is planning to cut it down; all help to provide a little escape from the ugliness of my inner city surroundings.

Any way I digress, I would love to find out what this flower is. I never planted it and nobody I've talked to knows who or when it was planted. I would best describe the flowers as reddish orange bell shaped. Anyone who knows the name of this, please drop a not, I would be happy.

I don't have a camera so I don't have any pictures, if I remember while I'm out I'll pick up a disposable and snap some shots and post them later.

Any who, here is the recipe for my homemade weed killer that is 100% good for the environment and guaranteed to turn anything organic brown and dead so be careful around the grass,

This is for a 10 Litres (2.5 US Gallons) batch that will easily cover an average size garden or yard.

All conversions are ballpark

10 Litres (2.5 US Gallons) of Water
1 Litre (32 Ounces or 4 cups) White Vinegar
283Grams (10 Ounces or 22 Tbsp) Regular Table Salt

Boil water in a large pot, add vinegar and salt. Pour HOT liquid on weeds to be killed. BE CAREFUL how you pour the water as not to burn yourself and I repeat don't let the water run on top of the soil because it will kill what ever it touches.

The Good, The Bad and Down Right Ugly of This Past Weekend In Sports

Well, the weekend in sports was definitely a roller coaster ride. Up down, around the loop- to- loop I went, weeing and screaming all the way. When the ride stopped, first I was jacked and then I was right sick.

Warm and Fuzzies

Way to go Lance Armstrong, you are truly an inspiration to humanity. Armstrong by winning his seventh Tour de France by almost five minutes has etched himself into sporting lore ahead of Gretzky, Woods and all the other contemporaries that he spoke so eloquently of in his farewell speech. Cheers!

As well, congratulations are in further due for Armstrong not being able to resist a parting shot at "the people who don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the skeptics" who suspect that doping is rife and fuelled his dominance of the past seven years.

"I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. But this is a hell of a race," he said. "You should believe in these athletes, and you should believe in these people. I'll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets - this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it."

Kurt Busch dominated at the beginning, surged back to the lead late and raced to his second win of the season Sunday in the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway. Busch led 110 of the first 150 laps on his way to retain his fifth place overall standing.
Busch passed second-place finisher Rusty Wallace coming out of Turn 3 with 17 laps left and held on to the lead even as four cautions came out before the end, which forced three extra laps and the green-white checkered flag. Jimmy johnson retains the overall lead with his twelfth place finish.

It was nice to see Mark Martin take third spot, this was perhaps his last run at Pocono. Overall it was a good race, only minor bitching about track conditions causing cut tires from Gordon but hey what do you expect. The million dollar baby finished 13th and is running out of time to crack the top 10 to contend for the Nextel Cup Championship.

It's off for a week, then the guys head off to Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Brickyard for the Allstate 400 on August 6.

The Bad

My CFL fantasy pool over TSN took a beating, it was a week of upsets and finishes you couldn't script. Lets start in Calgary were Henry Burris got the strong start he wanted playing against his old team.

In his first regular season game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders since being acquired by the Calgary Stampeders in the off-season, Burris set the tone early and led his new squad to a convincing 44-18 win Saturday night.

Almost a third of the sellout crowd of 35,652 fans were wearing green to support their beloved Riders, but they didn't have much to cheer about as Burris ran for a pair of touchdowns and threw for two more to lead the Stamps to victory.

Pick:Sask.

Here in Hamilton on Saturday as well, there were five lead changes, but when the final whistle blew the B.C. Lions were still undefeated and my beloved Hamilton Tiger-Cats winless.

B.C. trailed by nine in the second quarter before piecing together a comeback and taking the lead for good late in the third in a 28-22 victory over Hamilton on Saturday night.

The Lions improved to 4-0, while the Ticats fell to 0-4.

Danny McManus played well, but it's clear he needs help from his receivers. Danny Mack completed 16 of 32 passes for 221 yards, two interceptions and no touchdowns in front of 27,692 at Ivor Wynne Stadium. The game clearly went to the Lions quarterback Dave Dickenson, who completed 26 of 34 passes for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Pick:BC

Friday night I witnessed the shocker of season so far. Milt Stegall gave the suffering Winnipeg fans something to finally cheer about. The Bombers came into the game win less at 0-4.

Stegall took the game in his own hands.

The 11-year Bomber slot back caught a 56-yard touchdown pass with 1:43 remaining to help the Bombers (0-4) get their first win in a wild 51-46 victory over the 2-2 Montreal Alouettes.

The game went back and forth right from the opening kick in front of the 24,550 fans at Canad Inns Stadium. Winnipeg took a 37-19 lead into the fourth quarter, but fell behind 44-43 with just under three minutes remaining until Stegall hauled in his TD. Wane McGarity followed with a two-point conversion.

Here's how the fun unfolded. Just 1:55 into the final quarter and leading 37-22, Winnipeg gambled on a third and one at their own 44-yard line. Roberts was stuffed and Montreal took over and made Winnipeg pay with a 17-yard Cahoon catch deep in the end zone to close the gap 37-29 at 5:09.

On the next series, Glenn's pass to McGarity popped out of his hands and defensive back Reggie Durden snatched it and ran 28 yards to Winnipeg's five-yard line.

A Montreal penalty forced the Als back to the Bomber 15, but Calvillo threw the ball to a wide-open Watkins in the end zone. A two-point convert toss to Cahoon was successful and tied the game 37-37.

With 5:38 remaining Roberts broke open for a 69-yard TD run, but Westwood's convert failed because of a bad snap and it was 43-37.

Calvillo then engineered a five-play, 61-yard drive that finished with Lapointe's one-yard TD plunge at 12:05. Duval's convert was good for a 44-43 Montreal lead, their first lead of the game.

Stegall's TD and McGarity's two-point convert lifted the Bombers back into a 51-44 lead with 1:43 left.

Calvillo marched his squad down to Winnipeg's 24-yard line, but his pass was intercepted by cornerback Justin Coleman at the two-yard line.

Ryan finished the scoring by conceding another safety.

The good part of the game was that former Hamilton Tiger Cat QB, Anthony Calvillo became Montreal's all-time leader in passing yardage. He now has 30,429 yards, surpassing Sam Etcheverry's 30,303 yards.

Pick:Monteal

On Friday night I correctly picked the Edmonton Eskimos(4-1) win over the Ottawa Renegade(2-3). A close one 28-21.

My Results this week: In reality 2-2 (for what ever reason the pool wizards at TSN Fantasy have Hamilton winning 22-0, giving me a weeks total of 1-3?). Hmm, nice try guys but I don't feel my joy. Any way this gives an overal season total of 11-9, I think I need help.

The Ugly

I split my time between the race and that awful Toronto at Kansas City game. I won't dwell on it long, in case it induces nausea for some.

Firstly, I guess most KC residences were enjoying their air conditioning instead of braving the 36C heat. I've seen a better turn out for a little league game.

Secondly, I realize it was the 25th anniversary or something like that of George Bretts pine tar incident, god how I realized it! George Brett must have been payed for each reference. I counted four references in less than two innings by the announcer, usually followed by long pauses of dead air from the other announcer.

The game well, the stats say everything, Lilly starts off like a man on fire. Three and two thirds innings, eleven straight put outs. Then he craps out, thirty-three pitches in the fourth inning alone! Gets pulled, for Gaudin who tosses up two runs on four hits in only one and two third. Jays take the loss 6-4.

If it couldn't get worse Jays have lost all star out fielder Vernon Wells. The bright spot for the Jays was Hinskis' double and a three run homer and the report that Third baseman Corey Koski could be ready to return on Tuesday.

Well that's how I saw the world of Sports this past weekend.
