A Canadian Nightmare
A Canadian Nightmare
(This is a true story, the facts are correct only the place names have been changed, from your digital house where this is about to happen, to your actual house a few short years from now.)Out of the quiet of a country summer evening, I hear the sound of many heavy boots on my back steps.
I jump up to investigate, just as my backdoor swings open, and in walk 5 burley men in dark uniforms with balaclavas over their faces, carrying big guns and bigger attitudes.
The conversation goes like this
Me: WTH… Can I help you, what are you doing in my house?
Cop: Step aside sir, we are here to search your home.
Me: What, why, what did I do wrong?
Cop: We don't have to tell you.
Me: What are you looking for?
Cop: Evidence of a crime
Me: What, I haven't committed any crime, why have you targeted me, what evidence or probable cause do you have; do you have a warrant, is this authorized by a judge?
Cop: We don't need a warrant, probable cause or permission from any judge; the "Harper Govt" passed bill c-10 which allows warrantless searches.
We noticed that your name was mentioned in an email by someone we suspect might have criminal ties, so we thought we better have a closer look at his friends.
If you have nothing to hide then you won't care right?
Me: I have nothing to hide but feel this is a violation of my rights
Cop: You must be a Child Molester! If my search bothers you; you have to be diddling little boy’s right?
Me: WHAT, WTF IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?
Cop: This bothers you, you must be guilty!!
The 5 cops search my house for several hours and after thoroughly searching every inch of my world, the cops show me what they found:
1. A scrap of paper with a phone number torn from a pack of rolling papers.
2. A receipt for a box of shotgun shells (I bought to go to the range)
3. A kids toy my girlfriends daughter left here.
All of which adds up in the mind of Canada's Conservative Govt to:
A child molesting drug fiend, with ties to organized crime, who has murder on his mind. For which we need more prisons to house this scourge on Canada's moral values.
What do Canada’s Privacy Commissioners say about this?

TED Talk on Cancer fighting diet
Cancer Risk Reduction Using Anti-Angiogenic foods
I just watched this 20 minute TED talk by William Li – Who heads the Angiogenesis Foundation, a nonprofit that is re-conceptualizing global disease fighting.
It was a very persuasive lecture on how certain foods can starve cancers of their blood supply, and stop them from reaching dangerous size before you are ever aware of them.
Well worth the 20 minutes to watch.
I am going to try to do a little more research on these anti-Angiogenic foods and post anything I find
The site Mr Li Mentions for research is PUBMED in case anyone wants to research and add comments to the dialogue.
I would like to make a list of proven anti-Angiogenic foods and supplements.
Please add any in the comment section, and a link to the research if you have it.
Foods with links to research will be added to this main list.
Here is the list I have compiled so far;
| Apples | licorice root |
| Artichokes | Maitake Mushroom |
| Blackberries | Nutmeg |
| Blueberries | Olive Oil |
| Bok Choy | onions |
| broccoli | Oranges |
| Cherries | Parsley |
| cooked tomatoes | Pineapple |
| Dark Chocolate | Pomegranate |
| Garlic | Pumpkin |
| ginger | Raspberries |
| Ginseng | Red Grapes |
| Grape seed Oil | Red Wine |
| Grapefruit | Sea Cucumber |
| Green Tea | Soy |
| Kale | Soybeans |
| Lavender | Strawberries |
| Lemons | Tomato |
| Licorice | Tuna |
| Turmeric |
Varied sources, but main source Dr. William Li's list of antiangiogenic foods
Thanks Please leave us a comment

The last lecture by Professor Randy Pausch
The last lecture by Professor Randy Pausch was given Sept. 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon university. Professor Pausch was dying of pancreatic cancer, and this was his way of expressing himself and of passing on valuable life lessons he had learned.
The video had some moments that were somewhat uninteresting to me, but there were many others that contained valuable tidbits of truth and experience that were well worth the time to watch this to the end; which is a bit of a surprise, which I won't ruin for those who watch.
I know its long, but take this hour, a note pad and an open mind, I am glad I did.
Enjoy
