News & Events - November 2007

There was a news story about a new version of the common cold that is so virulent it kills about 7 - 9% of the people who get it, geez just when I thought -- Good I haven't gotten sick from Bird flu, now I have to worry about sneezing and coughing from colds.

They say he stands a chance of doing life if convicted on the kidnapping charge. Will the prosecution, judge, and jury ever be able to ignore his past and give him a fair trial?

One child being abducted is not the worst thing that could happen. I mean know worse things happen within a mile of my house(only ask if you have a strong stomache).
Does anyone else apart from me think that the McCann case shows nothing more than the awesome power of the media?

On 27th May, Sky reported that "Portuguese police have released the description of a suspect thought to have been seen carrying a child on the night Madeleine McCann disappeared... The man, aged 35 - 40, was seen at 21.30 on May 3 near the McCann's holiday home in Praia da Luz, southern Portugal. The man is said to be white, of medium build, about 5ft 10ins tall and wearing a dark jacket, light biege-coloured trousers and dark shoes. Sky News correspondent Ian Woods, in Praia da Luz, said: "This description was given to police a short time after Madeleine went missing."

Is this description any less or more enlightening than the subsequent 'reports' of the same sighting (Jane Tanners) ?

Note that this links also provides an interview with the McCanns where Gerry explains why it is alright to neglect children... apparently becuase other neglect their children too !!!

This AP article provides more detail. I'm not an activist however, I feel that Japan should not be hunting whales on a large scale in the modern era, regardless of the scientific motivations. I would also note that the meat will yield commercial profit. If they chose to continue to kill large quantities of whales, I will continue to boycott Japanese products.

Sorry obviously going to ofend all pro-mccanns but why do you all feel so sorry for them, why doesn't everybody stop and think if they hadn't of neglected their children in the beginning, they wouldn't actually be in this situation, i'm sorry but any parent (and believe me, i do not consider myself a perfect parent), should think about their children before thinking about going out on the p and leaving their children on their own. I don't go out much now that i have my daughter but if i do i certainly make sure that she is left with a responsable adult. I certainly wouldn't leave her on her own. They as far as i recall have not to date actually said that they regret putting food and drink before their children.....

SMOKING that is. The use of tobacco by Native Americans throughout North and South America dates back to 2000BC and Christopher Columbus brought the practice back to Europe in the 1400s. It beggars belief that this primeval practice persists today in spite of modern technology that tells us that this is a killer practice. Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, an additive stimulant and euphoriant but can also cause confusion, restlessness, anxiety, insomnia and dysphoria plus everything else.

Just saw something on the discovery channel about how brazil has converted to biofuels. If we are in such a crisis for gasoline and global warming, why don't we switch? I know the costs would be great but it's not like we can just buy another earth or make oil appear out of no where. Considering this, we must not be in that big of a crisis after all.
