Jogger accidentally crosses U.S. border from B.C., gets detained for 2 weeks

"Cedella Roman says she was jogging along the beach south of White Rock, B.C., when she crossed the U.S. border without realizing it. That began a two-week nightmare that landed her in a prison jumpsuit."

Can the time-traveling protagonist of this movie we're all trapped in get off his limestones already and jump back to avert our current doomed timeline?

Canada considering changing the legal definition of "beer"

Quote:No longer would beer be required to "possess the aroma, taste and character commonly attributed to beer" or be categorized into different styles or types like ale, stout, porter and malt liquor. Instead, officials are proposing to set limits on sugar content and simplify language around the use of additives that would set define what is a beer.

Added to that would a wider list of herbs and spices among other ingredients that can be used in the brewing process.

So, my family is considering relocating to the New England Coast area, as my brother is pretty well established in Boston and my parents want to spend their remaining active years in that area with both of their children close at hand. So if this deal goes through, I'm likely to end up somewhere in the area between Boston MA and Portsmouth NH. Any of us live in that region, got some time to discuss it?

When they see us they will run for their lives
To the end they will pay for their lies
So long did we wait, now we are home

Here once again there's a battle to fight
Gather together for the sound and the might
So long did we wait, now we are home

Now we will fight for the Kingdom, fighting with steel
Kill all of them, their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed

I now issue the call, are you ready to fight? (yeah!)
Fight all together as one for the Right
To be free once again - tonight we will win

I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal, to fight and to die
Defenders of steel, now we are home

Fight for the Kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
I swear by the sisters who stand before me
To no one shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel

Now we will fight for the Kingdom, fighting with steel
Kill all of them, their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed

I now issue the call, are you ready to fight? (yeah!)
Fight all together as one for the Right
To be free once again - tonight we will win

I can see by the look that you have in your eyes

Fight for the Kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel

To no one shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel

Fight for the Kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
I swear by the sisters who stand before me
To no one shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel

Fight for the Kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
I swear by the sisters who stand before me
To no one shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel!
On my steel!

Recreational marijuana use to become legal in Canada as of October 17

The bill cleared the House of Commons and the Senate this week - it just needs to be signed into law.

"Luna," I asked after some thought, "what are the odds that Her
Nibs bound all the guardians' souls together so they'd all be
reborn around the same time in the same area?"  I snorted.  "Or,
better question, how likely is it that she would have been 
stupid enough *not* to?"

Luna laughed.  "'Stupid' was a word *no one* -- not even her 
enemies -- *ever* used to describe Her Majesty."

"Then we've got, what, another half dozen or so Guardians all
around us, just needing a swift kick in the butt to wake up and 
join the fun?"

I saw the realization of what I meant dawn across her face.  "I
do believe that you are right."

"It'd be a waste to sit back and wait for them to wake up on 
their own," I said, and took a sip of my tea.  "So what do you 
say we *give* them that kick?"

Yeah, it's permanent. Probably not inheritable, though. Probably.
