If you think you have a bad name (you know who you are-lol)
dont feel bad about being last in the race because at some point in time
all these winners felt the same way.
If you ever want to muse over some cool sounding names.
Check it out....
don't askThis story bugs me and I'll tell you why in a minute.

First of all if you follow the link above you will find that this is not a trivial matter.
Secondly, you will probably find after reading the story for your self that any reader would likely be perturbed.
Heres why:

Added link:>Family safety is worth cost of fire protection
I am sure any reader of this story Googling around about it would be incensed at the loss of life. Facebook is full of tributes to the loss of life for these two young bright aspiring minds.
I am not suggesting anyone get in a huff over it; its sad. Nor am I suggesting anyone knock themeslves out delving into it.
But as I said it bugs me. Its like there is a plot for a movie here.
Guy finds story on Internet; starts digging around on Google, starts asking questions, soon people start getting upset; telling him to quit sifting through ashes and let people heal and grieve. Typically, people want to forgive and forget. Soon he meets the players through fate and twist of circumstance. Football players. How do you sleep at night he asks one of themin a bar. Soon police are on scene breaking up a fight.
Sound good? I am glad you agree but this is not a movie and this is not a film idea. If anyone cuts and pastes it and tries to develop it I will see you in court.

One final thing, the house had smoke detectors.
If anything, if theres any one last thing left to be carried forward I hope we can glean from this the importance of fire and smoke detectors in the house and yearly check ups and testing of batteries.
Even if this story contributes to one person ensuring taking heed of this I will be very happy and not suffer through the silence in considering that this tragic fire which claimed the lives of two bright beautiful souls was in vain.
The Provincial Government is reminding British Columbians this weekend to test their smoke alarms and change the batteries as they go about changing their clocks to match the Daylight Saving Time change.
Checklist for spring cleaning
If you don’t have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home, get them. Experts recommend one for each bedroom. Get the new ones that “talk” to one another. When one detector senses smoke or carbon monoxide, all the alarms in the house go off. If you have detectors, test them and replace batteries if necessary.
•Install fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage, family room and bedrooms.
•Get a flashlight for each room.
•Get plug-in night lights for bathrooms, halls and stairs.
•Check the first-aid supplies. Replenish supplies of adhesive bandages, antiseptic, antibacterial cream, pain relievers, burn ointment and cold and indigestion remedies.

Read how in the United States, just over the border in Washington...
the death of the 36-year-old mentally disabled janitor triggered demands from the public for a full-time police ombudsman, launched a federal criminal investigation, and prompted a $2.9 million damage claim against the city
happy"hope I don't forget to change how the From line appears on my outgoing mail ...and send it to someone like my employer or school or something....
especially if he's a guy"
irritatedI stumbled upon this after getting the 411 on one of my favorite film stars
I thought it totally sucked how the writer would totally pick on a very famous native american peacemaker, the daughter of a Chief (now an animated Disney character) to make light fun of and use as an excuse to try to downgrade any one person for the way they present themselves
It's a little photo play slideshow of sorts that shows how stars made such fashion disaster mistakes...
uh-h-h-h,...
....before they were reknown for dressing well.
Show me a star who dressed well for every occasion from first audition to red carpet and I'll show you the ownership papers I have for the Brooklyn Bridge (which I will then sell to you for a steal...)
It was a promising premise heres the link that led me to it, in it you will find a young George Clooney in 80s garb.

And also using dances with wolves as a cheap shot, she at least could have googled her noodle to come up with something clever like: prances with sheep
It only serves to reminds me how Marlon Brando him self once refused to let the Academy "honour " him with an Award
In addition, imo Eva looks pretty hot. 
And besides, any photoplay that features Paris and Nicole as bad fashion disasters in the making must be taking the world and themselves too seriously.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but native americana is the new Ralph Lauren. Ever since buffalo skins were painted.
don't askThe Vimy-Ridge Battle in France began April 9, 1917, and has become one of Canada's most spectacular military victories.
Last Easter in 2007 marked the remembrance for the memorial of this turning-point event and also the burial of the repatriated remains of a Canadian soldier.
His was one of two bodies uncovered in 2003 by construction workers south of Avion, France, near the ridge and identity was confirmed through DNA testing.
But in all, it is believed that only eight soldiers who fought in the Great War i.e. WORLD WAR ONE are now still alive.
As France bid a final adieu just 9 days ago from today to its last surviving soldier of that war.
France's final World War One veteran dies
Ponticelli, 110, served in both the French and Italian armies.

don't askI had a thought.
When the Good German was written as a book...

....did the writer wish to draw a parallel between the parable of The Good Samaritan? Or was it collorary?

don't ask-EDITED I stand corrected. Either I am not in the entertainment channel news universe or this Academy Award winning director has passed on with little notice or paid attention.
Hollywood film Director...Academy Award winning film director and film producer
Anthony Minghella
'The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” which recently completed filming in Botswana was his latest effort which he may very well end up receiving a post-humous Award for, who knows?
This brings to mind for me once upon a time that I took a week-ender scriptwriter course in Vancouver and whereas "Truly, Madly, Deeply," (was also Mr.Minghellas directorial debut: YouTube ) was one of our case studies. It had won a BAFTA for best original screenplay and Australian Film Institute's Best Foreign Film Award. Not bad for a Directorial debut!!
The world has lost another great. Expect the entertainment world reporters and press to wretch this for all of what its worth. A sad story. Please make a donation for cancer research today

Five years is the amount of time that has expired

Its been five years since Johnny Cash died.
Five years is only how long the new US Department of

Five years ago is when the last old-style Volkswagen Beetle rolled off a
production line in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico.

In the European Union countries you will require only one driving licence to
drive in all EU-member
countries..
Thats 23 official and working languages (27 nation member states) and one driving licence.
At this rate, by 2013, with a EU licence..you could one day drive from Croatia to Portugal.
