Cool Quotes: July 2012
http://rempelia.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 July 2012. Thank you, TTC. Thank you, Toronto Transit Commission. Thank you for increasing fares every year. I don't need that extra $100 anyway. Thank you for being reliably unreliable. It keeps life interesting, and I enjoy the challenge of coming up with new excuses for being late for work, because "There were problems with the TTC" is getting old. Thank you for cancelling express bus service when it snows. Apparently snow is uncommon in Canada, and you're not sure how to deal with it.

Thursday, 8 December 2011. So yesterday I met the Stephens for dinner downtown at Gusto. After having cycled more than 100 miles up and down mountains on Saturday, I was in the mood for some pasta. As always, we had wonderful conversation, great food (even though Stephen could likely do better himself! And a little show and tell. They had just purchased an antique fire hose nozzle at a shop nearby. What they plan to do with this thing, I do not know. Firefighters don't make a lot of money. They aren'...

Cool Quotes: Construction and Reconstruction.
http://rempelia.blogspot.com/2011/12/construction-and-reconstruction.html
Thursday, 8 December 2011. Just yesterday I received an email notice stating that some pins used in total knee replacement are being recalled by the company. Lucky for me, I have never used these pins during surgery. However, this and notices like this are a wake-up call to me and others regarding our routine use of man made materials in a human person. Fact is, there is no such thing as making someone "100%. " And what is One Hundred Percent anyway? An old medical joke comes to mind:. Truth is, we can d...

Viking Spirit: December 2011

Sunday, 11 December 2011. Apologies for the long post…. It is funny how well people can misunderstand some social situations. For instance, joining a new club or sports team is always stressful. No one likes doing it, but everyone has to at some point in their lives and everyone in the club has done it. I managed to fit in without any bother and become a regular part of the team. And worked my way back on the team (lost the weight). Usually the manager sends out an email asking who can play detailing the...

Thursday, 12 July 2012. This is a bit of a catchall post, thus the multiple categories. Things are hotting up at work and the upshot of it all is that I have been asked if I want to assume more responsibilities along with more pay. This didn't come quite out of the blue, but it happened very suddenly, i.e. on Friday morning right before lunch. Of course I said yes. Duh. So that's kind of exciting. Onward and upward and all that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Marcel Clark - Resume. Shalonda Brown - Resume.

Out Of Water: A Reminder
http://outofwater.blogspot.com/2011/12/reminder.html
Thursday, 8 December 2011. A colleague sent me a reminder today about this:. On December 4, 1999, the National Security Council’s counterterrorism coordinator, Richard Clarke, sent Mr. Berger a memo suggesting a strike in the last week of 1999 against Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan. Reports the commission: “In the margin next to Clarke’s suggestion to attack Al Qaeda facilities in the week before January 1, 2000, Berger wrote, ‘no.’ ”. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Out Of Water: Dostum almost dead and the Two Levels of the Taliban
http://outofwater.blogspot.com/2011/12/dostum-almost-dead-and-two-levels-of.html
Thursday, 8 December 2011. Dostum almost dead and the Two Levels of the Taliban. 8220;Afghan Uzbek warlord Abdul Rashid Dostam survived an assassination attempt on January 20 in a mosque while at Eid al-Adha prayers in Shibirghan, Northern Afghanistan. Posing as a beggar, the suicide bomber, who had strapped explosives to his body, blew himself up as he was held back from Dostum by two of the strongman's bodyguards. An interesting study last September in the Asia Times detailed the existence of "two leve...
