No way - no Plant - no Led Zepplin

Ringo and Paul do not constitute a Beatles reunion -- this is bullshit.

A New Singer for Led Zeppelin???(WTF???)

The members of Led Zeppelin are searching for a replacement for singer Robert Plant.
Since their historic reunion on stage last year, rumours of a world tour are circulating for Led Zeppelin.
Singer Robert Plant has said that he won't tour with Led Zeppelin, and that he is already touring with Alison Krauss, but rumours of a Led Zeppelin tour continue.
The band's other members have confirmed that a search is on for someone to take Plant's place on the microphone. One source told Britain's The Sun that the musicians have already met with several candidates in London, and have chosen an American for their new singer.

9-11 seven years ago.....

Seven years ago this terrible tragedy happened and like many I always reflect on the emotions of that day. By around 10 am the carnage was public and the entire staff of the agency I worked at just stood or sat in the boardroom crying and sobbing. We were all sickened by the collapse of the tower, but baffled more by questions like who could do this?, Why?, etc.

Just 5 weeks later I had to travel to NYC and the WTC was still smoldering and it had become a mecca for everyone just needing to see the carnage first hand. I remember the posters, the tears, the grim faces and the dust that was still eveyhwere and clearly this changed the soul of NYC.

I never considered myself a deeply religous man or one who had to pray for understanding but there was a number of "street ministers" on site and I went up to one and told him/her that I just felt this incredible need to pray for all the victims and the pain and the suffering and frankly the incredible confusion and sickness I had within myself as I tried to understand this whole thing. It felt good and each year I go back and walk around that area I feel better, especially as I see the trees and the yard around the cathedral that is just around the corner.

This is probably the event in my lifetime that has left me with the most awful feelings about what humans can do to each other and why someone would do something like this.

I just always feel very sad on September 11th and I think about and pray for the victims and their famillies and I hope something like this never happens again.

Lacrosse players stick it to cancer


Score one more for breast cancer research. The inaugural Lax for a Cure charity lacrosse tournament on the weekend was the latest of many fundraisers organized to aid research with the hope of making breast cancer history.

The lighthearted event was held Saturday at Twin Lakes Secondary School and drew about 100 people and 13 teams to the field. The event raised $5,129 through registration fees, donations and draws. "It's more than we expected," said co-organizer Amy Fincham. "We just wanted a successful tournament." The idea for the tournament came to Fincham and her fellow organizers, Brit Boynton and Jayme Beard, after they all won lacrosse shafts at a banquet and thought about raffling them off for charity. Choosing the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation as a beneficiary was a no-brainer, said Fincham. "We've all been affected by breast cancer in one way or another," she said. Heather Kidd of Toronto was playing for her mom, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. "She's doing really well now, but these fundraisers are a good reminder that it's an ongoing battle," said Kidd, a member of the top fundraising team, cleverly named "Saving Second Base." Another teammate, Sherry Fernandes of Whitby, was playing for her mother-in-law, who was diagnosed just last month. She is to start radiation therapy this week, Fernandes said, and the charity tournament "really meant a lot to her."
"She gave me a hundred bucks," Fernandes said.

Her team -- made up of Toronto lacrosse players -- raised more than $400. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation estimates one in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with the disease in her lifetime. The striking reality of the broad reach of breast cancer seems to be getting through to younger women, said Kidd. "A lot of them have grown up with the statistics," she said. "That message has really gotten out." The success of Saturday's tournament has organizers looking forward to it becoming an annual event. Fincham thanked the volunteers and business owners -- mostly local -- who threw their support behind the fundraiser. "We hope there's even more support next year," she said.
