The Strokes - Heart in a cage
This song is awesome, The Strokes rocked when I saw them in concert, very cool, voice kinda like Jim Morrison's.
Jerry Falwell Died.
The hero of right ring Christianity and the enemy of liberalism died today. It is amazing how hatred is ok when espoused by the religious and then re-branded as religion, here is where Falwell stood.
"Over the decades, Falwell has campaigned against abortion, same-sex marriage, pornography, stem-cell research and bans on school prayers.
He drew ire for saying AIDS is punishment for homosexuals, the Antichrist was a Jewish man and Tinky Winky, a purse-toting character on the show Teletubbies, is a gay role model.
One of his most controversial comments came on Sept. 14, 2001, when he blamed the Sept. 11 attacks against the United States on abortionists, feminists, pagans, gays, lesbians and others who "tried to secularize America." He later apologized." excerpt taken from CBC.CA

Tasting the sparkling wines
Cool pic of rock mushrooms taken on the grounds of the Domaine Chandon winery.
Wine Tasting
Wine Tasting in the Napa Valley. Go to www.jamiestone.com and click Flickr to see the latest pics of our trip.
Pictured here are barrels of wine stored in man made caves at the Rutherford Winery. Each barrel is made of French oak and costs about $800-900 US empty. When full they hold about 300 bottles of wine. This particular winery has about 8000 barrels in its cave at any given time. The barrels are used for about three years and by then most of the oak taste is gone so they sell them off to wineries that make cheaper wines like the $5 kind you can get at Safeway.

Mexico not safe for Canadians
This is happening too frequently, cut the cord to Mexico I say-no more tourist dollars from Canada until they get their act together. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2007/05/08/attack-cancun.html
Save a little more and go somewhere better like the South Pacific.

Year Zero (concept album)
(From Wikipedia)
Reznor said that Year Zero is a concept album,[8] "could be about the end of the world," and marked a "shift in direction" in that it "doesn't sound like With Teeth."[7] The 2006 tour merchandise designs featured overt references to the United States military, which "reflects future directions."[7]
In an interview with Gigwise.com, Reznor stated that the concept behind Year Zero was partially inspired by his feelings toward the Bush administration. Reznor further explained,
I really wanted to focus on something that was at the forefront of my consciousness which is, as an American, I'm appalled by the behavior of our government, the direction that it has taken and the direction that it's taken everyone else in the world and its arrogance... I decided to write an essay about where the world might be if we continue down the path that we're on with a neo-con-esque government doing whatever it pleases...[9]
To this end, the storyline of Year Zero borrows heavily from dystopian fiction such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (government surveillence), Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (use of drugs to subdue the populace), Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (large-scale censorship and uniformism), and Yevgeny Zamyatin's We (synthesis of church and state).
