Another year, another disappointment

Oh well, I guess there is always next year. *sigh*
I was wondering last night how many of the players on Carolina and Edmonton were Canadian born. It turned out that Edmonton had more, but for the most part, all of Carolina’s good players (including Vezina Cup winner Cam Ward) were from Canada also. So, as much as I hate to see a Southern USA city win the cup (AGAIN!!!) it seems either way Canada came out on top…

Hockey be thy name.
Thy will de done, the Cup be won
One ice, as well as in the stands.
Give us this day our hockey sticks,
and forgive us our penalties,
as we forgive those who cross-check against us.
Lead us not into elimination,
But deliver us to victory.
In the name of the fans, Lord Stanely,
and the holy Oilers, Amen
The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users' manual, written in Latin.
The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.
The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.
During annual wood hauls for construction of the Anglican cathedral and Roman Catholic cathedral, considerable rivalry developed between the two groups involved. The Protestant English marked their wood piles with the pink flag of the Natives' Society, while the Catholic Irish used green banners. The threat of violence was such that Bishop Fleming intervened, and persuaded them to adopt a common flag, on which the pink and green would be separated by a white stripe to symbolize peace. The pink symbolized the Tudor Rose of England (The Protestants) and the Green symbolized St. Patrick's Emblem of Ireland (The Catholics). The White is taken from St. Andrew's Cross (St. Andrew is the Patron Saint of Fishermen and Scotland).
The pink, white and green tricolour quickly gained prominent social and commercial and governmental use throughout the island, and was used prominently during the visit of the Prince of Wales to St. John's in 1860. In the late 1860s and again in 1904, it was a central symbol for those opposed to confederation with Canada. Captain Robert Bartlett, who captained Admiral Peary on his ultimate polar expedition in 1909, planted the pink, white and green within a few miles of the North Pole. The tricolour was flown at Government House during the Boyle and Murray administrations at the turn of the 20th century and was shown on 19th century flag charts as the flag of Newfoundland.
The following song about the tricolour flag was frequently sung during the early 20th century, and became an alternative national anthem. It was written by Archbishop Michael F. Howley in 1902.
The Flag of Newfoundland
The pink the rose of England shows,
The green St. Patrick's emblem bright,
While in between the spotless sheen
of Andrew's cross displays the white.
Then hail the pink, the white, the green;
Our patriot ring long may it stand,
Our sire lands twine their emblem trine
To form the flag of Newfoundland.
What e'er betide our ocean bride
That nestles midst Atlantic foam,
Still far and wide we'll raise with pride
Our native flag, o'er hearth and home.
Should e'er the hand of fate demand
Some future change in our career,
We ne'er will yield on flood or field
The flag we honour and revere.
Fling out the flag o'er creek and crag;
Pink, white and green, so fair, so grand;
Long may it sway o'er bight and bay,
Around the shores of Newfoundland.
Calgary seems to be the logical choice as it is the one of the hottest cities in the world right now in terms of economic growth. It continually shows up on numerous lists of the best cities in the world to live. It is also an unbelievable area for both nightlife and outdoor activities, that and there are about another 150,000 Newfoundlanders living in Alberta. With that said, this song by Big Sugar does a great job of outlining the life change so many people from the Island make to the Wild West…
Big Sugar - All Hell for a Basement
I am a workin' man
But I ain't worked for a while
Like some old tin can
From the bottom of the pile
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
My words are like a rope
That's wrapped around my throat
Wash my mouth with soap
For words unfit to quote
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
And now I'm free to go
But time cannot remove
The only life I know
Now only time will prove
Yes only time will prove
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
Yeah I lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
...and in other "Only in Newfoundland news", we have this story to report on...

www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/06/13/firehall-booze-ban.html
The entire volunteer fire department in a Newfoundland town has resigned, following a new policy that forbids drinking alcohol in the local fire hall.
The Point Leamington fire hall had doubled for years as an unofficial bar for the community of about 700 on the island's northeast coast.
Fire Chief Fraser Stuckless said he complied with a town order this spring to stop selling booze to the public.
However, he said the force of a dozen firefighters should still be allowed to enjoy a drink on special occasions.
"The other fire departments, they do have alcohol …. The alcohol is there for personal use for the firemen and, as far as I'm concerned, we should be allowed to do the same," said Stuckless.
Council is firm
However, Mayor Robert Elliott says past problems at the hall prompted the town council to take a firm position.
"The fire department has been told [on] many, many occasions, you can't sell beer. On many occasions they've never listened," Elliott said.
"This is the only solution we saw. Take it out, [and] then you can't sell what's not there."
Ruth Rideout said she and other residents are concerned about the possible loss of fire services, and why council is being so adamant on the issue.
"Is it that someone turned up drunk to a fire? We don't know. Or is it just that council wants to clean house? We don't know that either," she said.
"But I think as a town we're entitled to some answers."
The withdrawal will not leave Point Leamington altogether in the lurch. While the force will no longer do routine work from the fire hall, Stuckless said members will respond to emergency calls.
2. Never hold her hand. this can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. (or if she grabs your hand squeeze hers really really hard until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are.)
3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs. They love to be roughed up.
4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is, say you better be , repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.
5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement and every girl needs some improvement.
6. Recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most. Then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them because jewelry is for pussies and asian ladies.
7. If youre talking to another girl, make sure shes looking. When she is, stare into her eyes mouth the words fuck you and grab the other girls ass. Girls love competition.
8. (I deleted this one cause it was too much, it left a bad taste in my mouth)
9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick". Women love those special nicknames.
10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD.
11. Warm her up when shes cold...and not by giving her your jacket... then you might get cold. rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop bitching about the cold right now you're going to be bitching about a black eye." the best way to get warm is with fear.
12. Take her to a party. When you get there she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the partys dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.
13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. vWhy shouldn't girls?
14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things, like basketball.
15. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.
16. If you care about her never ever tell her. This will only give her self confidence, then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.
17. Every time youre in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way shell go crazy.
18. Take her out to dinner. Right when shes about to order interrupt and say no shes not hungry. make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.
19. Look her in the eyes and smile, then clock her one, girls love a spontaneous guy.
20. Give her one of your t-shirts......and make sure it has your smell on it. but not a sexy cologne smell, a bad smell, you know what i'm talking about.
21. When its raining keep asking her if shes crying. She'll say no its just the rain ten minutes later turn to her and just scream at her to stop crying you fucking baby. Girls like a tough man as i've already stated.
23. If youre listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. this way she'll think you're mysterious.
24. Remember her birthday but don't get her something. Teach her material objects arent important. The only thing thats important is that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.
25. When she gives you a present on your birthday, christmas, or just when ever, take it and tell her you love it. then next time you know she's coming over on a trash day leave the trash can open and have the present visibly sticking out of the can. girls actually don't like this one that much but i think it's funny.
26. If shes mad at you for not calling her when you say you will promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will make sure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call you're going to tell her a special surprise. Now shell be really excited. Now dont call.

The basics of modern wooden boat building
Sunday, June 11, 2006 | 0 comments »
I never realty appreciated how truly unique it is to be able to build a boat from scratch until I was away from home for a couple of years. There was plenty of time for me to learn this dying art form when I was younger, but of course I never took the opportunity.
A couple of years ago, a group sponsored by some part of the Government sat down and collected a lot of information from Sam regarding the technique he used to build his boats. The following photos and information outline this process. *Click on any image for a larger view
Sailboat built by Samuel Feltham 1983 Alexander Bay, Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
Sailboat sketch by Samuel Feltham December 2003
Here is his sketch #1. It shows a wooden boat twenty-two feet long and seven feet wide at midship. The sketch indicates the position of, and the shape of, the three major timber sets - that is, the three timber sets which are first attached to the keel to give the boat its basic shape and structure. These timber sets are called the forehook, the midship timber and the afterhook. Each is composed of two symmetrical timbers -- one for the port side, one for the starboard side. The sketch also shows the shape of the counter -- that is the stern end for the boat.
Cruiser sketch by Samuel Feltham December 2003
In sketch #2 we find a bigger boat - thirty-two to thirty-four feet in length and eleven feet wide. The boat type here is the cruiser. She would be used for "cruising" - that is, searching, finding and bringing home products such as rocks, firewood, boat timber, kelp.
Fishing boat and sculling oar sketch by Samuel Feltham December 2003
In Sketch #4 we have a small fishing boat sixteen feet long and four feet eight inches wide. Note the hole in the counter - it would be used to anchor the sculling oar. This type of small, inshore boat would be used for fishing with hook and line, with cod nets and with trawls.
Trapskiff sketch by Samuel Feltham December 2003
In sketch #5 we have a trapskiff thirty feet long and eight feet ten inches wide at her midship point. She would be used for hauling cod traps. Note that her bottom is gently rounded; this was a necessary feature because a lot of weight would be found on the side of the boat during the trap-hauling process. A more rounded bottom would create a dangerous situation that could cause a roll over in windy conditions with a lot of fish in the trap.
Small dory, paddle and sculling oar sketch by Samuel Feltham December 2003
In sketch #6 we depart completely from the boat types of the other five sketches. Here we have a sketch of the dory. She's fourteen feet long with a midship room that is four feet four inches wide. Note the shape of her counter. Note, too, that the bottom is not flat. Rather it is raised three inches aft and three and a half inches forward from the level position. She could be sculled with a sculling oar (note the sculling crevice in the counter's top) or she could be rowed with paddles. This little dory would be quite suitable as a go-ashore from a bigger boat left at anchor some distance from the shore.
Dory built by Samuel Feltham 1975 Rocky Bay Island, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador
This dory, shown here near Rocky Bay Island in Bonavista Bay was built in less than two weeks. It measures thirteen feet in length, four feet two inches in width and fifteen inches in depth. Note that it is clinker-built as opposed to edge-to-edge built. It carries a double set of thole pins to accommodate two sets of paddles.
Cabin Cruiser 'Low Tide' built by Samuel Feltham 1972 Rocky Bay Island, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador
It took approximately six months to build this cabin cruiser. She measures twenty-four feet in length, eight feet in width and thirty-four inches in depth. She was called 'Low Tide' to mourn a political event. She was built during the period when Liberal Premier Joey Smallwood resigned (1972) so, from a Liberal point of view, the political tide was low. Joey probably inadvertently prompted the name when he said, "The Liberal tide has gone out."
Cabin cruiser 'High Tide' built by Samuel Feltham 1989 Alexander Bay, Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
The 'High Tide' measures twenty-two feet in length, eight feet in width and three feet in depth. She was built in 1989 when Clyde Wells brought the Liberals back to power in Newfoundland and Labrador. Samuel Feltham named his cabin cruiser to celebrate the Liberal return. Incidentally, it might be important to point out that cabin cruisers, very popular in Central Bonavista Bay, are used primarily for pleasure - going out the bay for a weekend of fun and relaxation, taking friends for a ride, mussel collecting, trouting and other pastimes.
Rodney built by Samuel Feltham 1993 Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
This little rodney, or small punt as some would call her, was built in three weeks. She measures thirteen feet in length, four feet two inches in width and eighteen inches in depth. [Rodneys generally don't go longer than fourteen or fifteen feet]. This one was built as a sailing boat. Typically, such boats are used by one man for hook and line fishing, for squid jigging, for traveling settlement to settlement to shop. The norm was one sail, one set of paddles, one sculling oar. When towed behind a larger boat as a convenience in going from the larger boat to shore, a rodney was called a go-ashore.
Trapskiff built by Samuel Feltham 1955 Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
This scaled-down trapskiff was built in less than three months. Samuel Feltham used the moulds for his regular trapskiff but shortened the length to give the boat less weight, more flexibility and faster speed. After the invention of the codtrap in the late nineteenth century, trapskiffs became the most popular of fishing boats, the first lot being powered by sails which were quickly, in the early twentieth century, replaced by marine engines.
Speedboat built by Sam Feltham 1963 Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
This speedboat was built by Samuel Feltham in approximately two months. She measures eighteen feet in length, six feet in width and twenty four inches in depth. Speedboats have now become the most popular of the current boat types in Bonavista Bay. Wooden speedboats are now giving way to ones made of aluminum, fiberglass and other products. The speedboat is still used for fishing, birding, sealing, hunting, transportation and pleasure riding.
Sailboat built by Samuel Feltham 1983 Alexander Bay, Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
Here you can see a sailboat built by Samuel Feltham. She measures twenty two feet in length, seven feet four inches in width and thirty eight inches in depth. She is not rigged in this picture: her mast and sail were in storage when picture was taken. This is the type of wooden boat that Newfoundlanders spend much of their leisure time in enjoying the natural beauty of Canada's most easterly province.
A modified punt built by Samuel Feltham 14 November 2003 Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
Here's another variety of boat - a modified punt by Samuel Feltham. She's still under construction and when finished will be fitted with a sail. Newfoundland boatbuilders regularly adapt their boat styles to suite their needs and their whims. This punt, atypically, has a center board and a rudder. In other words, she's been adapted so she can do the work of a punt (fishing, say) and the work of a sailboat (recreational sailing, say).
Model of the 'Bluenose II' built by Samuel Feltham 1993 Glovertown, Newfoundland & Labrador
Many Newfoundlanders build model boats and Samuel Feltham is no exception. Here is his model of the 'Bluenose II.' She measures twenty-seven inches in length. Central Bonavista Bay boatbuilders admire superb boats wherever they come from. The 'Bluenose' is probably the most famous sailing boat in the world's sailing lore. She is often chosen as the model prototype by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
In this storyline we've taken a quick glance at one man's thinking and sketching and at his performance regarding boatbuilding in Central Bonavista Bay. Several things are clear: Newfoundland boatbuilders use their minds and their imaginations to create boats that satisfy both their wants and their needs; their prime boat needs and wants are centered on fishing, hunting, sealing, birding, transportation and recreation; they change with the times but keep to the heritage cores.
A typical Central Bonavista Bay boatbuilder might, like Samuel Feltham, build about a hundred boats in a lifetime. Starting as young as thirteen or fourteen, under the guidance usually of a father or grandfather, boatbuilders construct a variety of boat types including the punt, the dory, the trapskiff, the speedboat, the sailboat and the cabin cruiser. Sometimes the community-type of boat prevails. Everyone in the community might prefer a certain counter shape or stem shape or keel shape.
Early rising is characteristic for boatbuilders who know that the most invigorating and delightful hours come with and before sunrise. Eagerness is another characteristic: boatbuilders begin their day joyfully anticipating how they will enhance their new creations.
I suppose if this happened today we would be assumed associates of Al-Qaeda and locked away in Guantanamo Bay

I was chatting with my old buddy Craig the other day and he reminded me of a funny day I had completely forgotten about.
I am sure it is not too hard to imagine, but yours truly was quite the hell raiser back in the day and the crew that I ran with were all just as bad or most times worse.
We could not have been older than 13 and my buddy Josh was going to stay over at my place for the weekend. That day at school he shows us all some under water explosives that he took from his father. Wow! That is cool we thought, we could defiantly blow something up with that, or at least kill a bunch of fish or something.
Although I spent more of my life in St. John’s than Glovertown, I still say I ‘grew up’ in Glovertown. My first smoke, toke, trip, fuck and the joys of puberty happened in Glovertown, which made up the majority of the growing up process I guess…
Any case, the place I grew up had a big swimming hole that everyone called the Big Dam. It was basically a concrete wall that was 60 feet across and about 5.5 feet high. The dam blocked a small river and made this little secluded place great for swimming in the summer. What better way to show our appreciation for this unique spot than to introduce it to our newly acquired underwater explosives.
The plan was set. After school we were going to smoke some cigarettes (that we bought from a girl who stole them from her father) and blow up the big dam! I can’t remember exactly who was there, but after getting body stoned on the cigarettes, we figured it was time to do the deed. Josh pulls out the explosives, lights the wick and throws it towards the dam wall. We all run back behind a rock and crouch down expecting only the worst.
POOF!
There was a minor sound and the water rumbled slightly. That was it. We were all disappointed, lit up another cigarette and called it a day.
I can picture it already… couple of cold beers out on the water, jig an arm load of cod, pull in to a secluded beach, collect some drift wood, start a fire, gut the cod and throw the fillets right into the cast iron pan with a bit of fat pork… Lord Thundering Jesus! Come on August!!!
Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn made the announcement in Petty Harbour during a news conference over the lunch hour.
There will be an expanded food fishery with a daily bag limit of five fish per person and a boat limit of 15 in area 2J3KL. The season will open August 1st and close September 4th and licences and tags are no longer required. Hearn says people can go out and fish on any day during the five-week period.
On the commercial side, there will be a limited experimental fishery in 2J3KL, which takes in the northeast coast. Some 2300 fishermen in the province licensed with a boat under 45 feet will be able to participate in a "bay stock" fishery of 3,000 pounds each. But that's limited to each fishermen sticking to their own bay.
The total catch for the southern Gulf cod fishery hasn't changed - still 4,000 tonnes, while the northern Gulf fishery has increased slightly to 6,000 tonnes.

I was just looking online for an example of specific type of email format and stumbled across this text relating to email etiquette:
Think about the message your e-mail address sends. Keep your address simple, and avoid unprofessional sounding names like "studmuffin" or "partygirl."
This is too funny! If your email or screename is Studdmuffin, than you might want to consider doing the following steps:
1) Plug a toaster into your bathroom electrical outlet
2) Pour up a nice hot bath
3) Sit in the bath and relax (for a moment anyway)
4) Drop the toaster into the water with you

‘The game’ is on moron
Tuesday, June 06, 2006 | 1 comments »
We were sitting outside on a covered deck, watching the game, trying to hear the play-by-play over the static caused by a large group of boys next to us (there were all over 25, but trust me, they were boys not men).
As we continued to eat and drink, another bunch of the Abercrombie and Fitch faggots made their way over to the table with disappointed looks on their faces. One of the boys piped up, “I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY DON’T HAVE THE GAME ON!!!” Hmm… This is odd; I thought to myself, isn’t the game on?
The guys then proceed to ask the waitress to change the TV’s to display the basketball game. I didn’t think the NBA Finals started until Thursday, but what do I know. A bouncer then proceeds to changes channels for 10 minutes with no success in finding their desired game. Disappointed with bouncer, the boys then get up from the patio and huff and puff their way inside to watch the basketball game.
First off, I was correct; the NBA Finals does not start until Thursday. Chances are I will be watching it, but that is beside the point. While the hockey season is still going and especially during the Stanley Cup Finals, ‘the game’ should only EVER refer to hockey. If you are in Canada and in your twisted sense of reality ‘the game’ refers to a sport other than hockey, do me a favor and strap yourself to a rocket and shot yourself directly into the sun.
The last time I looked at a map Windsor was in the country of Canada; however, after living here for several years I am wondering if it would be better to cut it loose and let it float over to Michigan. It’s actually a little sad that many Americans will never make it past Windsor when traveling to Canada. Their entire perception of Canada ends at the greasy bars on Ouellette Avenue.
I need to move.
I wish this was only true in writing, as it seems that most things I come across in life completely lack any meaning
