Lately, I have been trying to blog at least once a day.
Yet I'm glad to know my readership has not dropped off much due to that fact.
Somehow less blogging coincides with many people taking vacations so the 2 go hand in hand.
Speaking of vacations, a friend of mine attended a fund raiser for the Guelph General Hospital last week at the home of Frank and Margaret Hasenfratz from Linamar.
Frank gave a short speech and used the following quotation, "We make a living by what we get; we make life by what we give". That's from Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
This is a good quotation and good words to live by.

Disney To No Longer Scan For Flashers
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Disney says it will no longer scan riders on Splash Mountain and three other rides for guests who feel the need to flash their breasts for souvenir photos.
Disney confirmed Tuesday that it has reassigned employees at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure who watched for breast-baring riders because "actual inappropriate behaviors by guests are rare."
Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown says the changes took effect Sunday at Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and California Screamin'.
Riders are photographed on the attractions and can then buy souvenir copies. Some have exposed their breasts in hopes that the picture would make it onto a photo preview screen at the ride's exit.
The company began the screening about 10 years ago.

Dancing With The Stars elimination and the Jonas Brothers perform
Dancing With The Stars dragged the first time elimination of two contestants over a two back to back one hour shows.
At that rate they should have eliminated 6 people from the show. In the end there was no surprise as Penn Jillette and Monica Seles were shown the door and even walking out it was obvious they had no rhythm whatsoever.
The Jonas Brothers performed during the episode - good timing considering their concert tickets just went on sale and they are the hottest searched term on Google.

PayPal Launches Storefront Widget
PayPal has launched the PayPal Storefront Widget, a web based widget that allows anyone to embed a store widget on a web site.
The Storefront widget offers a seamless e-commerce platform for those wishing to sell anything on their site, such as t-shirts, CDs or other items. Users can set the widget to "sold out" or "sorry were closed" from the central control panel, and comes standard with a sharing option.
Visitors are able to grab the html for the widget from the widget and display it on their own site should they so desire.
Initially there are some limitations with the service, for example you only get the choice of one size for the widget, and it currently only supports sales in US dollars. PayPal though will be seeking user feedback once the program takes off, and they are open to expanding the options available in the future.
PayPal sees a lot of possibilities for the widget; for example, it provides a seamless shopfront for bands on MySpace who may want to sell recordings.
It may also be a substitute for donation buttons that are occasionally used by bloggers as well.

Unprecedented Fish Kill in Greece
Article by Skywatch-Media News at Mediterranean
Menidi, Greece
From February 29, 2008
A man stands in front of a cage full of dead fish at a farm off the coast in the Gulf of Amvrakikos, about 217 miles (350 kilometers) northeast of Athens.
Around 800 tons of fish, including sea bass and sea bream, died from lack of oxygen, according to the AFP news agency.
"This is an unprecedented incident in Greece and probably in the whole Mediterranean basin," Sotiris Saxamis, deputy prefect of AitolĂas Kai Akarnanias province, told AFP.
Local marine biologist Vangelis Dimitriou told the Reuters news agency that the fish may have died after swimming through a large pocket of water where the temperatures suddenly dropped, depriving the fish of oxygen.

Most Scouts favor sex before marriage
Article by Unknown
CHCH 2007: More than 80% of those questioned said they were happy to get drunk and almost half said they would smoke marijuana if offered.
"The problem is their everyday lives. At school and in their free time, they behave just like their friends, and not just sexually. A significant part has little confidence in politicians, and does not respect the rules of society."
Nine in 10 Scouts favour sex before marriage - Telegraph
Is it unsurprising then that we live in a collective if deluded perception of drugs, boy racers and sensible sentencing?
