What is the Truth?


It is becoming very difficult to be cheerful looking at the world around you.
What the heck is man doing to people and this planet?
What possesses man to have power get to his head this way?
Government is accountable to the people and no one should be above government running wild, believing in nothing and accountable to no one.

HAARP was developed to find oil fields by oil companies and to help areas where there was no rain, like Ethiopia, get rain.
Just like Nuclear energy, developed for the better good, so was the HAARP project but then the military bought it and now we do not know what it does or did.
Did the Haiti earth quake happen as a result of their experiments?
What is Japans' situation in this? Did someone do an experiment and artificially create this devastation in Japan? Questions need to be raised.

Jesse Ventura, a republican, has a video made up of 4 sections , very interesting to watch
It shows how weather can be controlled. how the mind can be controlled and how they can cause earthquakes to happen and even affect satellites and even airplanes.

The Persian gulf had a whole group of fried dolphins washed ashore and they could not understand what happened to them.

It is funny because I remember a few years back I also was driving home from soccer and there was a radio station talk show on in Washington state.

People were calling in saying they heard voices in their heads and they thought it was because of UFO's but now we can say that it might have been something to do with the HAARP project in Alaska.

Today China and Russia are also developing such projects and if all this is true, then the world is becoming very dangerous indeed for man kind.

Maybe they need it to deflect the solar flares expected to come this way next year but it seems those flares will not do much here, except that nothing is ever 100% certain. Is it?

Is it the truth? Or is it a conspiracy Theory?
People are definitely being culled.

Q: Why did the number get mad at his wife?
A: Because she was being irrational.
-----------------------------------------
He's teaching her arithmetic,
He said it was his mission,
He kissed her once, he kissed her twice
and said, "Now that's addition."

As he added smack by smack
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly gave the kisses back
and said, "Now that's subtraction."

Then he kissed her, she kissed him,
Without an explanation,
And both together smiled and said,
"That's multiplication."

Then Dad appeared upon the scene and
Made a quick decision.
He kicked that kid three blocks away
And said, "That's long division!"

Lapti - or Bast Shoes




Since I was on the topic of Valenki boots, I remembered another kind of foot wear I heard
about reading Tolstoys' books. Peasants used to wear lapti, even in winter, when they would wrap their feet up with cloth.
I never knew exactly what Lapti looked like so I decided to look it up and came up with this picture from Google.

Apparently they were very comfortable but I could never see them being worn in winter. I could see the Dutch wooden shoes being worn in winter before these.

Lapti were made from bast of linden or birch bark or some other tree materials. To make them, 7 pieces of 2 meter long bast was needed. They took a wooden plank the size of a woman’s or man’s foot and then bent and twisted the bast, until lapti were ready. The technique is the same as in the modern bread basket, only more complicated.I wonder if our American Indians made them or did they stick to leather and fur?

The bast shoes didn’t last very long. 60 pairs could be used in 1 year. To wear lapti you had to use a foot wrap. People wrapped a piece of cloth around their foot and lower part of the leg, then put on bast shoes and wrapped these sort of bast braids that were attached to the back of lapti around their legs. It was similar to what ancient Romans wore. I can see the need for a foot wrap before putting them on. Otherwise you would end up with huge blisters. So why do they say they are comfortable?

Nowadays, lapti are a part of Russian folklore: childrens' folk stories mention them, and in the colloquial language lapotnik means an uneducated person. Maybe that’s because lapti were mostly worn by peasants, who were thought of as stupid.Then again, how are you stupid if you could design a pair of shoes like this? It's Ingenious.

Bast shoes are not worn now, except for some dance or theatrical performance. They are still available as souvenirs in Russia.

Interesting. Where there is a will, there is a way.
And
Nothing is impossible

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after
crossing into the United States, wandering
aimlessly and starving.
They are about to just
lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says...

"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk."

"Si, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon.
With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand
dune, & there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon.
There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back
bacon, and double smoked bacon ... Every imaginable kind of cured pork.

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree."

"Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget."

"Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a
meerage that smell like bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree."

And with that, Luis staggers towards the
tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawling
close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens
up, and Luis drops like a wet sock.

Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath,
"Pepe... Go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!"

"Luis, Luis mi amigo... What ees it? "
"Pepe… ees not a bacon tree. Ees

Ees

Ees

Ees

a ham bush..."

Canucks vs Calgary Flames



What an exhausting night!!

After watching our poor Team Canada boys loose gold to Russia 5-3, where Russia made 5 goals in the third inning, we watched our Canucks holding onto 3-0 against the Calgary Flames.

Every one was thinking the same thing. Third inning and the same thing will happen to the Cunucks , that happened to Team Canada and boy!!! WOULD THAT NOT BE a good thing lol
It was a hard squeeze but the Flames managed to score one goal just at the end and leave saving face.They have like 20 losses so far and the Cunucks 18 wins.
I understand a season has around 80 games so they have time to catch up.

I don't know who it was more tiring for, the players or the fans who sat under so much pressure, cheering for their home team.

Both teams played so well but someone in the end had to win and someone had to lose.
The Russian boys were ecstatic. This was a major thing for them for many reasons.

Now they don't have to go home fearing Mr Putin who takes losing games quite seriously lol
I loved it when they said they won for Mama but it was not clear if they were talking about their own Mama's or Mother Russia, as Russia was lovingly called. All of them sang the national anthem off tune lol (thought I'd Mention it..... to Mr Putin lol)

Now what gender would Canada be? hmmm
Probably female as would America with her Statue of Liberty.

I guess it was us gals kicking butt in the hockey arena then.
Well, we know how to keep it friendly like lol

On the comedy station one guy criticized Soccer and the yellow cards they give out.
He said what kind of a lame game is that, soccer?

Well , The Cunucks played like the soccer teams do but I noticed, they have shorter plays and change players, like every two minutes, as opposed to soccer players, some of who play both periods without going off and they have longer periods. Soccer is much harder on the body it seems than hockey is. The players are not wrapped up like mummies and still have to play in freezing rain snow and hail.

So it is not a game for pussies, as the comedian suggested. Shows how much he knew about soccer.lol
We also have our fair share of fighting and face demolition but most players keep their front teeth.
Sometimes I think they should force the players to wear helmets in soccer.

Well, I don't know why fans need all this stress but it sure feels good to be a part of a home team.
I watched the games and now feel physically tired and I bet these guys are going to take a shower and head on out to parteee.
Win or lose they are headed for bigger and better times.

and as for soccer? Well we found out it's a sad day for Canadian soccer, as CBC reported Kara Lang had to retire, due to recurring knee injuries. She is our second best Canadian woman soccer player. Well who knows, she might return one day.

Enough sports for one day . Whew!!
Good Night World :)

" We've got the best hockey team in the country unbeaten and no goals scored against us!"
" How many games have you played?"
" The first one's next Saturday."


In court the other day there was a case regarding the custody of a small child.
The judge asked the boy, "do you want to live with your mother?"
He replied, "No I don't want to live with her because she beats me!".
The judge then asked, "Do you want to live with your father?"
The boy stated, "No he beats me too."
Finally the judge asked, "where do you want to live"
The child responded, "I want to live with the Montreal Canadiens!".
The judge asked, "Why do you want to live with the Montreal Canadiens?"
The boy exclaimed, "Because the Montreal Canadiens don't beat anybody!"


St. Peter and Satan were having an argument one day about hockey. Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral ice between a select team from the heavenly host and his own hand-picked boys.

"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches."

"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered unperturbed, "We've got all the referees."


Three Maple Leafs fans were bemoaning the fact that their team kept losing and might miss the playoffs.
"I blame the manager" said the first, "if he would sign new players then we could have a great team".
"I blame the players" said the second, "if they made more effort I am sure we would score more goals".
"I blame my parents", added the third, " if I'd been born in another city I'd be supporting a decent team!"
