ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES
From the Ottawa Police Services:
“While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.”
An anonymous 911-caller reported to police that a truck was swerving on the roadway while the driver spoke on his cell phone and used his knees to steer.
A short while later, a traffic officer stopped the cell phone talking knee steering driver on Richmond Road and ended up seizing his driver’s license and issued him a traffic fine.
Yes! Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Cyranos Restaurant
My wife and I celebrate our birthdays together since hers is on August 21st and mine on August 23rd. We like to go out for a nice dinner and quiet conversation.
I like to try new restaurants from time to time and gamble on getting a good meal and good service. And from time to time I find something worth writing about. I’m sure most of you know that not every establishment is to everyone’s taste, but certainly food done properly and service that is efficient and friendly is appreciated by all.
We went to Cyranos last evening for dinner to celebrate our birthdays. The atmosphere is slightly rustic, a mix of old world Mediterranean and modern. Mood lighting to encourage romance.
The kitchen is at the back but open to public view which ads to the personal feel of the place.
The service was very good, friendly, quick and courteous. Bonus points – I didn’t have to ask for anything.
For starters our server brought us some very fresh hot bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I ordered a Smithwicks beer and we shared a Bruschetta – tomatoes, black olives and onions with fresh basil. Very nicely done.
My wife ordered the Linguini with shrimp, swiss chard, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. After the Bruschetta and bread we ate earlier she had little room left to finish her meal, so the remainder was happily packaged up to take home.
I ordered the Spinach fettuccine, large sea scallops, pancetta shiitake mushrooms in a parmesan cream sauce. The sauce was very full with the flavour of scallops and mushrooms. I found the food much to my liking. Fresh grated cheese was left at our table along with fresh ground pepper. This night they offered some extra selections of wine by the glass. I opted for a nice medium bodied red from Spain that complemented this meal nicely.
Cyranos Restaurant is located in Ottawa’s West End at 39 Robertson Road Bell Mews Plaza Nepean, Ontario. For reservations phone: 613.721.0510

This video, if it is indeed genuine, tells a lot about the newest US president.
Fear Mongering – what news is made of
English author and journalist Christopher Booker spoke to RT (Russia Today) about the causes of the economic crisis that the European Union is facing, and shared his view on global warming and other ‘global scares’ of the 21st century.
Fear Mongering is what news is made up of today. Not facts, not reporting the reality, but sensationalizing what catches your attention. Who or what is behind it? Does the media deliberately mislead us or is it government? Some of us believe it’s the United Nations.
The world has been heating up since 1980s: Study
The world has been heating up since 1980s: Study By Louise Gray, The Daily Telegraph July 28, 2010 4:10 PM
via The world has been heating up since 1980s: Study.
This article in today’s Citizen is such B.S.
There is loads of proof that refutes everything in this article.
It’s just more fear mongering of the worst kind. They lead you to believe their authority on the topic and people believe every word. What a bunch…
Using words like “unequivocally” and “most comprehensive study” how could one not believe it?
Please don’t believe it! Global warming does not exist and it is for sure not caused by green house gases… that’s a fact.
The oceans take hundreds of years to adjust in temperature, so what we are seeing in ocean temperatures is the results of the heat the world felt about 700-800 years ago. Hardly any kind of indicator of global warming. Temperature readings are very subjective and one can make a case for just about any type of scenario if you fudge your figures right.
Most scientists that were part of the UN’s mission to fight Global Warming have resigned because they didn’t agree with the UN’s mandate to scare the crap out of the world and make us believe that humans are capable of causing the world climate to change. It would have changed with our without us and has done so many times over the last few thousands of years. And will continue to do so.
