One of the lines from the book is that 'mommy will come back looking different and prettier.' I don't have anything against people having cosmetic surgery and I do understand how a woman's body is massively altered by pregnancy. But I dislike the messages the book transmits: pretty on the outside is more important; mommy isn't as pretty was she was before YOU arrived; daddys don't need cosmetic surgery.

it goes with their ads for bravia, 'color like no other.' ostensibly, they've created a situation no one would believe, so you'd want to take shots of it.

It's Kurt Browning's 'Gotta Skate' (I don't know which one). When the guys are done, their girlfriends/wives come out. The person at the beginning is Jamie Sale, from 2002 Olympics. Her husband, David Peltiere, is one of the skaters.

As someone who commutes 150 kms every day, I believe this research - however obvious it seems - is useful. When were drive on straight areas, it doesn't matter if there is 10 cars or 100 cars: the flow of traffic remains constant. If you throw in a distraction like police lights on the opposite side, or a change in the road like a sudden curve (even a slight one), the affect of a single person braking radically alters the speed of each successive car. The flow moves like boa, stretching until it hits a bend and than contracting until it makes it around the bend. One panicky, brake-happy driver on an unfamiliar road can drop my speed from 100 km to 70 km in seconds - and thus, every car behind and beside me; add to that the lane changers, who double the volume of fast lanes in seconds, and you have massive slow-downs with or without more cars.

A long time friend of my father, Howard Terpning, did many of those posters including Sound of Music and GwtW. You can see his work here:

Some of the posters (inc GwtW) are from re-releases over the years.

This is now being investigated in Ontario:

(the only online source; it was on 2 radio stations this morning)

'impact': it's a NOUN so unless you're a COLON or a MOLAR you can't be impacted!

and you can't 'pre-reserve'!

or 'pre-order'!

the worst buzzword? any word with the letter 'e' in front of it - which by now is *every* word!
