Here is the report form 680News. Some sad cases out there. http://www.680news.com/sports/article/150864--hockey-items-stolen-during-pat-burns-funeral

Just heard on the news Pat Burn's widow's car was broken into and number of Pat's items were stolen. What a bunch of idiots, to say the least.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

Happy TG to all our southern cousins. Our main news item today was, us coming down for the great deals on "black Friday." Please, pay back the visit ASAP, Sorry, my tourism instinct just kicked in!!!! Have a great safe weekend; I have family in CA I think of.

I hit the wrong button . . Getting old When I was a kid I delivered the Globe 80 papers by 7 am in midtown Toronto. We were paid 2 cents per paper, as the bag got lighter I would collect pop bottles and cash them in also at 2 cents to supplement my income!

Jump in anytime Irish, I need your help!. I love your math. My bill for last two months was almost even for all three rates! Looking into it this week. As for conservation I do my part. I do not drive one day a week! I don't see why we PAY FOR NOT producing . . . and yet we have these pricing structures. Doest it cost more to generate in the daytime than at night? Hell, I worked the night shift many, many, many years ago; we got paid more! I'm sure the guys working nights at Niagara/elsewhere are not paid by the KW/h or they would want the mid-peak or on-peak shift. Maybe he should change his name to McScrewyou. Because I'll have a job after you vote me out.

Some Jack reported it and it was allover the net, he had move back to QC. Don't follow hockey but he is was one of the best in the game . . .

:wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: This article really got my . . . itching! CTV News: Bruce Power got millions to not produce electricity ‘The people of Ontario paid Bruce Power nearly $60 million in 2009 to not generate electricity for the province, CTV Toronto has learned. A deal between the nuclear generator, a private company, and the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) sets out a guarantee for a certain amount of power to be purchased -- even if it's not needed. The technical term is called surplus baseload generation. The agency agreed to pay Bruce $48.33 for each megawatt hour of electricity that was not needed. In 2009, demand for electricity was down in Ontario, largely as a result of the recession. This meant Bruce's nuclear reactors weren't operating at full capacity. As a result, the OPA paid Bruce power $57.5 million for about 1.2 terawatt hours of electricity that was not produced. A terawatt is a million megawatts.’

Well if there is a recession Vaughan Mills/BPS was not suffering, BPS was jammed when I was there.

I don't usually frequent malls much, but Saturday morning I was at BPS and sure enough there it was Christmas music! One woman actually made it known that it was too early for it.

Our thoughts are with you Wayne.

Look out the other window! Some mornings I look out the back and don't see the car! It's out front waiting for me. All clear here in Kleinburg just cold. Spending the day with my kids is a bonus. Drive safe Lew.

I quit the day I found out I had a child coming into this world, 33 years ago. It gets easier as time goes by. Don't look back! :clapping:

I'm in. . .

AND PICTURES!

Published on: October 20, 2010 Paul Parise landed this 51-inch albino musky from the lower Flambeau River. www.muskiesinc.org The musky Paul Parise boated on Oct. 6, 2010, from the lower Flambeau River in Rusk County is truly the rarest of the rare: a 51-inch albino musky. "That is a pretty fantastic catch," says Tim Simonson, co-chair of the Department of Natural Resources musky committee. "Albino musky are pretty rare to begin with, and for one to survive to that size is pretty uncommon given they don't have the protective camouflage to hide from predators or sneak up on prey. This fish stood out from day one, but through luck and maybe some skill, it survived." The fish is the second albino musky to surface in Wisconsin waters in recent years. In 2005, a DNR fisheries crew caught a white musky in their fyke nets during population surveys. But that fish was much smaller -- 32.7 inches long and 7.9 pounds at the time. Albinism is a heredity condition in humans, other mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, in which there is a total or partial lack of pigment that gives color to the skin, hair and eyes. The growth and development of an albino is the same as that of a normal individual. They also have the ability to reproduce offspring. The complete story about Paul Parise's unique musky catch and release will appear in the December 2010 issue of MUSKIE Magazine, the official publication of Muskies, Inc.

LONDON, Ont. - The legendary King Arthur led an epic, but unsuccessful, quest for the rare white stag. In modern-day London, Bill Hopkins may have captured a similar, one-in-10,000 buck -- or, at least, the ghostly image of one. "It was pretty surreal, almost right up there with seeing a unicorn," he says of his sighting late last week in west London. He grabbed his camera and quickly fired off two shots through his window. "It's a magical, mystical thing," said Hopkins. In legend and myth, white deer have been symbols of good luck, the spirit world, unity and peace. The deer's lack of colour is likely leucism, a reduced skin pigment that results from a recessive gene. With a full rack of antlers, the deer looks to be an adult. It stayed within Hopkins' sight for about five minutes, briefly ventured near a busy road, retreated and then vanished into the woods. Hopkins said the thought of it still sends shivers up his spine. "We see this a lot in ducks but it's rare in deer," said Brian Salt of Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Centre (salthaven.org) near Mt. Brydges. He, like several others contacted by QMI Agency, had heard about all-white deer but have never seen one. Another local wildlife expert says he hears of at least one pie-bald (patchy-white) deer in the region each year but the chances of an all-white deer are "probably one in 10,000." "Because of their whiteness, they attract predators in the summer months" but can stay mostly hidden during the winter, the wildlife expert said. Hopkins said its rarity emphasizes the need to preserve London's wooded habitats. "My hope is that this will bring some attention to the fact that we have some pretty unique and rare animals in the city and to be careful when we're driving in these areas." A decade ago, a leucistic white fox in London's Springbank Park area turned heads for several weeks, before it became a casualty of traffic.
