A playful, late-night search for ghosts inside a University of Toronto landmark ended in tragedy yesterday when a 29-year-old woman plunged to her death. Leah Kubik, who was just two weeks shy of her 30th birthday, was found without vital signs inside a courtyard at 1 Spadina Cres. just before 2 a.m. Kubik and a man were on a first date and were believed to be exploring an old building rumoured to be haunted, Toronto Police Const. Wendy Drummond told the Sun.

O'Cow! who will save us from the zombies? Rest in Peace leah's fb wall --timball Ghost hunt turns deadly | RIP heinous |

Why Glenn Beck, and Fox News, can't escape the "racist" trap | Media Matters for America |

Have so many blue-chip advertisers ever fled a program as quickly as the who's who of corporate America that's sprinted away from Glenn Beck in recent weeks? I certainly cannot recall ever seeing a mass exodus of this scale. The A-list collection of disgruntled Beck advertisers is staggering: Applebee's, AT&T, Bank of America, Best Buy, Campbell Soup, Clorox, ConAgra, CVS, Ditech, Farmers Insurance Group, GEICO, General Mills, Johnson & Johnson, Lowe's, Nutrisystem, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Sprint, State Farm Insurance, The UPS Store, Travelers Insurance, Verizon Wireless, Vonage, and Wal-Mart, among others. If any television program had lost just three or four of those types of high-caliber advertisers, it would be seen as an extraordinary move in a media environment in which grassroots attempts to pressure advertisers have traditionally yielded modest returns. But at Fox News, Glenn Beck is rewriting television history right before our eyes: four dozen lost advertisers and counting. All of Beck's big-time advertisers have fled. All of them.
how do you keep a show if you lose all your advertisers? fox news underwrites and funds horrible racists. maybe they should start taking militia ads. the best thing to do is to tell everyone to turn FNC off. go outside, play some multi-racial catch. share a horchata snow cone w/ a couple of kids on the block. enjoy the beauty that is america w/o fox "news". --timball ps) our president is not a racist Why Glenn Beck, and Fox News, can't escape the "racist" trap | Media Matters for America |

Small family atmosphere, terrific value and quality. Friendly staff always wearing a smile. Food was fantastic from Tbone steak to hot dogs and fries. Lumbarjack pancakes will feed a family. Keep up the good work Jim! ...
the 2nd review of this restaurant is hilarious. above is the PG rated 1st review. --timball Ryan's Restaurant (psst! ask for the pie) |

Pies should be light too. I don't like big pies, with one flavor. I want to change everyday. I have internet, my iphone, and many choices. I've simply turned into a big ball of vacillation- going back and forth between a circle of different flavors/opportunities.
