  2009 Ride To Conquer Cancer

Hello friends,

I'll be participating in a 2-day major cycling event called The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting The Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research hospitals in the world.

I'll be cycling over 200 kilometres that weekend, from Toronto to Niagara Falls, with thousands of other Riders. All the proceeds will go to The Princess Margaret to support cancer research, treatment, and services. The Princess Margaret is Canada's leading comprehensive institution devoted to cancer research and care, and the work they're doing is leading-edge.

I've agreed to raise at least $2,500, but I've set my personal goal to $5,000. So here's where you come in, because I need your help to do that. Could you please consider making a donation? Use the link at the bottom of this post to go visit my webpage, and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind the commitment I'm making to end this heartbreaking disease and the personal efforts I'll have to make to accomplish this.

When I say "heartbreaking," here's what I mean: In 1987, when I was 10, my father was diagnosed with Cancer. He died three months later. Earlier this year my father-in-law lost his battle with Cancer. That's why I'm riding. To do something BIG about cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Greyhound defends safety after 2nd violent attack
Updated: Mon Sep. 22 2008 2:53:09 PM

CTV.ca News Staff

The second violent attack to occur aboard a Greyhound bus in recent months has triggered questions about security.

On Sunday, a young man believed to be in his 20s was attacked aboard a bus near White River. Ont. by a man who was put aboard the bus by police, according to a witness.

A 20-year-old passenger on the bus called police at about 4:15 p.m. on Sunday to report that another passenger had been stabbed on the westbound vehicle heading from Toronto to Winnipeg.

Const. James Searle of the Ontario Provincial Police said authorities received a call for help after the suspect was let off the bus.

"He walked to the front of the bus asked to be let off," Searle told CTV Newsnet on Monday. "The driver did so, closed the door back up, and then the emergency personnel were called into action.

"We had paramedics look after the gentleman that was injured and we were able to locate the suspect a very short time later and he was arrested without incident."

Searle would not comment on whether police had placed the accused on the bus, or why he was allowed off the bus because both matters will be part of their investigation.

David Roberts, from Manitouwadge, Ont. has been charged with aggravated assault and two counts of breach of probation. He is scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing on Monday.

Passenger safety questioned

The incident was a horrific reminder of an attack in late July in Manitoba when another Greyhound passenger, Tim McLean, was attacked and eventually beheaded.

A spokesperson for Greyhound Line Inc. declined to speak about the specific incidents due to the ongoing police investigation, but said the company is working hard to ensure the safety of its passengers.

"We've been working with Transport Canada for more than a year and a half, long before these two incidents occurred, to determine what security measures would be most effective for inter-city bus companies like Greyhound," Abby Wambaugh told CTV Newsnet from Dallas, Tx.

Wambaugh said the bus company is in the midst of a risk-assessment study that is being funded by Greyhound. Once that is complete, the company will present its recommendations to the agency for further discussions.

However, she said the suggestion that bus companies should implement airport-style security measures, such as x-ray machines, is simply not reasonable due to the rural nature of the bus network.

Wambaugh also said no security system would be entirely fail-safe.

"No security measure is impenetrable and we still believe that inter-city bus transportation like Greyhound is a very safe mode of transportation."

The 13 other people on the passenger list weren't injured but they were held over in White River, Ont. until 2 a.m. for police questioning.

The victim of Sunday's stabbing was taken to hospital in Wawa, Ont. before being transferred to Sault. Ste. Marie.

He is expected to live

Rock Hall of Fame nominees include Metallica, Jeff Beck and Run-D.M.C.
By Eric R. Danton on September 22, 2008 11:01 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)
Jeff Beck, Chic, Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Metallica, Run D.M.C., the Stooges, War and Bobby Womack are this year's nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Of the nine, five will be inducted into the Cleveland museum at a ceremony scheduled for April 4 at Public Hall in Cleveland.

First, how are the Stooges not in already? Their caveman rock has inspired punk, metal, alternative and industrial bands for 40 years.

And Jeff Beck? He's in for his work with the Yardbirds, which is gratifying, but the fact that it's taken him this long to be nominated on his own is a headscratcher. Speaking of which: No Rush {fuck n A...Mark] . No Alice Cooper. No Kiss {again FNA, Mark}. No Jethro Tull. Influential acts, all.

Which brings us to the expected debate about the others.

For starters, there shouldn't be any question about Metallica. No one should be quibbling over Wanda Jackson, either. Sometimes called the first female rock 'n' roll singer and the queen of rockabilly, she was there when rock was born -- and she dated Elvis Presley!

Purists will argue against Run-D.M.C. because rap isn't rock 'n' roll (though the New York trio single-handedly revived Aerosmith's career with its cover of -- and video for -- "Walk This Way"). The same goes for Chic, a disco act nominated last year.

Womack ought to make it just for his session work on guitar and his songwriting: He played on Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds," Sly's "There's A Riot Goin' On," and the Rolling Stones' "Harlem Shuffle," among others. And he wrote Aretha Franklin's "Chain Of Fools," Wilson Picket's "I'm a Midnight Mover" and Janis Joplin's "Trust Me." Those are pretty solid credentials.

Little Anthony and the Imperials' doo-wop sound was certainly influential. Was it influential enough?

And War. Given the list above of eligible rockers who haven't made it in, War seems like a stretch.
**************************************************************
Metallica no doubt shoyuld be there but not before Kiss + Rush. Just my 2cents.

  Johnny's Kit & Cymbals

Posted by: Mr. Lahey

Forum: Tragically Hip Discussion
- Replies (5)

So we all have noticed that since they began the official World Container tour, that Johnny debuted a new Yamaha kit to replace the Ayottes.

I am wondering if anyone has the scoop on some of the specs of his current stage gear.(namely YOU Mav!)

Any drummers please feel free to chime in with your thoughts.

I believe he uses the same snare drums and the same Sound Edge Hi-Hats...

As far as his cymbals, I'm pretty sure that pre-WC he used an 18" Paiste Signature Fast Crash, 18" and 17" (or 18" and 19"?) Rude Thin Crashes, and a 22" Paiste 2002 Ride.

His cymbals noticeably perform differently than his old ones did. I believe he now has a 19" Paiste 2002 crash (not sure what type) and what looks like a 22" Paiste 2002 Ride, but again I can't tell what kind specifically. It's plays alot more like a crash/ride, and is washier than the old one.

This has just been bugging me trying to figure out what the new stuff is lol. Any info would be appreciated.
