Working in a safe environment is very important, but for employers and employees.

Prevent-It.ca proves it in this PSA. Watch where you are going, ALWAYS!! This is my fave of the Prevent-It ads I have found because I used to work in a kitchen and I saw near "accidents" like this happen all the time. Help bring down the number of actual events. Just a couple extra steps could save a life... Enjoy!!

Also, if you find these PSA informative and interesting email wsibcomm@wsib.on.ca and let them know where you saw it.

I really need to start changing some things in my life. I am getting tired of living the way I am and I know that I am the only one who can really do anything about it.


So, what do I do?


I am starting to eat better and work out. There are a couple of reasons for that:

1. I want to be a hunk-a man! lol

2. Diabetes runs in my family and I DON'T want to get it.


I also need to get back into school. I don't know what I'm going to study but if I want to find a career, now-a-days you need a piece of paper saying you can do stuff.


Finally, I need to get back into writing. I sed to love it but I kind of just set it on the back burner.


Anyway, I just wanted to update and so I did. Talk to you all later.

Sweeney Todd Movie Site

Mallory and I attended the tale of Sweeney Todd last Friday night. It was very well done. Mallory was a little freaked out by it at first, but by the next day she said she (might) want to see it on DVD when it comes out. I want to see it in the cinemas again.

( My Personal Review )

Keep Flying and Stay Shiny,

Okay, this is how I imagine the conversation went:

WALMART EMPLOYEE: Hello, dis Walmarts. How can I help you?

Customer:I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.

WALMART EMPLOYEE: What you want on da cake?

Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne, and underneath that, We will miss you.

A Holiday message from: http://www.mybeard.org/Beardsley57/ 

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

Christene is an amazing songwriter. Her CD Little Lighthouse is one everybody must pick up (as soon as it's back in stock).

I found this on bof_comic and thought it just needed to be shared with the masses. =)

Only 5,408 words. I need to be a lot close to 9,000 by today. I am going to take a nap (it's 4am and I was off work last night) and maybe try again later.

Stay Shiny and Keep Flying,

Three thousand six hundred and thirty-eight words.If you want to read that whole thing once I hit 10,000 words let me know your e-mail address. I wanted to be a little further that this on the 4th day, but at least I have written something every day. We'll see how it goes from here. I'm sure I'll write some more before midnight tonight.

Stay Shiny and Keep Flying,

One thousand five hundred and fifteen words. An excerpt is on my nanowrimo page. Enjoy, I'm going to bed.

A blog inspired by:


     Aqua, dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO), hydrate, hydric acid, hydrogen hydroxide, hydrogen oxide, hydrohydroxic acid, hydroxic acid, hydroxilic acid, hydroxylic acid, oxidane, μ-oxido dihydrogen or just plain water. Whatever you call it; you need it!

     Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface; the oceans contain 97.2% of the Earth's water. The Antarctic ice sheet, which contains 90% of all fresh water on Earth, is visible at the bottom. Condensed atmospheric water can be seen as clouds, contributing to the Earth's albedo. About 70% of the fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly, the body requires between one and seven liters of water per day to avoid dehydration; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors. Less than 1 % of all the water on earth's surface is available to meet the drinking water needs of all the people, plants and animals on this planet! The two major sources of drinking water are surface water and groundwater. Surface water comes from lakes, reservoirs and rivers. Groundwater comes from underground geologic formations called aquifers.

     Let's do the math, eh:
1% of water has to be enough for over 6.6 billion people covering on a planet that has 148,939,100 km² of land. That should be easy, right? Wrong! Good thing we, as humans, are doing our best to keep the drinkable water we have clean and even clean up some of the water that isn't, eh? If only we were.

     Water pollution is a major problem in the global context. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. Most water pollutants are eventually carried by the rivers into the oceans. In some areas of the world the influence can be traced hundred miles from the mouth by studies using hydrology transport models. Many chemicals undergo reactive decay or chemically change especially over long periods of time in groundwater reservoirs. A noteworthy class of such chemicals are the chlorinated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene (used in industrial metal decreasing and electronics manufacturing) and tetrachloroethylene used in the dry cleaning industry (note latest advances in liquid carbon dioxide in dry cleaning that avoids all use of chemicals). Groundwater pollution is much more difficult to abate than surface pollution because groundwater can move great distances through unseen aquifers.


     So how can you help solve our water epidemic:

Water Conservation:
   1. any beneficial reduction in water loss, waste, or use;
   2. a reduction in water use accomplished by implementation of water conservation or water efficiency measures; or,
   3. improved water management practices that reduce or enhance the beneficial use of water. A water conservation measure is an action, behavioral change, device, technology, or improved design or process implemented to reduce water loss, waste, or use. Water efficiency is a tool of water conservation. That results in more efficient water use and thus reduces water demand. The value and cost-effectiveness of a water efficiency measure must be evaluated in relation to its effects on the use and cost of other natural resources (e.g. energy or chemicals).

Follow the US Water Act:
Which states ...regulate the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Activities regulated under this program include fills for development, water resource projects (e.g., dams and levees), infrastructure development (e.g., highways and airports), and conversion of wetlands to uplands for farming and forestry.

Or just be careful. Don't dump trash into rivers, lakes, streams or any other waterway. Don't pour oils, grease or any other chemicals on the ground (remember ground water is a good source of drinkable water) or in waterways.

     We can make this world a better place. We just all need to do our parts.

May Your Water Always Cool,
Captain C. River
