I've never heard of this stuff before. It's an anti-tick dewormer for cows. you can put it in their feed and it does all sorts of good things to them. It shares the same chemical chains as sand, but is derived from diatoms - anchient precursors to shellfish - aka plankton.
There's not much research out there on the impact of plankton on human diets. But I found a paper:
I think this fossilized version is just the same stuff silica microchips are made from.
It's good for humans, too. I might just buy a bag and try using it for a detox program.

I think you should have a look at The Daily Dancer, a blog about a guy who has a passion to dance. I liked Eye of the Tiger the best.

Rant in A Minor, First Movement
The Globe & Mail is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED that in some political ridings, the Conservative nominees are affiliated, not with Freemasons or some other shadowy Cabal, but SoCon Christians. Wow. Someone has been reading their Goebbels propaganda handbook. As one commenter asked:
"If reporters who write about Christian fundamentalists taking over his party were to "insert the word Jew everywhere you've put Christian, do you think they would let you print it?" he asked. "I doubt it."
Oh, I'll print it.
BERLIN -- Jewish Zionist activists have secured Communist nominations in clusters of ridings from Dusseldorf to Dresden -- a political penetration that has occurred even as the party tries to distance itself from hard-line Jewish Zionism.
At least three riding associations in Freistaat, four in Rheinland-Pfalz, and one in suburban Hamburg have nominated candidates with ties to groups like The Learned Elders of Zion, a Jewish organization that seeks to corrupt our precious bodily fluids.
But organizers say many more will be on the ballot during the next federal election, a feat achieved by persuading synagoguers, particularly new members of the Reich, to join the party and vote for recommended candidates.
Some Jews argue that the selection of a large number of candidates from the Zionist camp is an unfortunate turn for a party that was accused in last year's election campaign of harbouring Jewish-ifluenced "Protocols."
Now, the government sponsored folks at rabble.ca have been ranting and roaring about the Nazi Pope while conveniently forgetting that Paul Martin himself is a Roman Catholic who, in some form or another, pays homage to a Pontiff who used to be a Hitler Youth.
It just doesn't add up. Or does it? Some people seem to stop just short of an open season on Evangelicals.
Applying the same methods as above to THIS post by a fine fellow Non-Partisan/Alberta Blogger, the Calgary Observer yields the following arguement. It sounds like something Tommy Douglas himself may have said:
"I hate to be the one to say, I told you so, but I told you so.
The NDP has nominated openly gay people for a number of ridings. Not that there's anything wrong with homosexuality, but sexual identity and politics should not be mixed. Whatever an individual politician or candidate does in their bedroom really his or her own private business, but the problem here is that these nominees have come out and stated that they will no longer be ashamed of who they are and that they will pursue their political goals guided by their beliefs.
"It's time we stopped apologizing and started defending who we are. The gay community in Canada, by and large, and socially liberal Catholics, are saying we have been far too gay and thus we have been of no political impact for far too long, on too many fronts." (Tristan Emmanuel)"
Funny how you just have to change the name of the people to make everything all ok.
Oh, wait, what if we again applied that same little word trick to THIS article by Mindless in Ottawa? Could you imagine if anybody had said this about Muslims?
" How to Fix the Conservative Party:
Here’s the thing. Canadians are scared of Muslims, that's just the way it is.
Have you ever met a Muslim? Tell me, weren’t you just a little scared? Be honest.
Unless you are a Muslim, in which case you are probably blowing a gasket as you read this, then you have at some point in your life been at least a little freaked out as you talked to a Muslim.
I personally know many Muslimss, some I like, and some I think are so stupid they would just as easily have joined a al Quaeda if it had free AK's with the Q'uran.
The Conservative Party is dominated by Muslims.
Don’t even bother to pretend this is not the case. I’ve been to the nominating meetings where 100 dark guys with that glassy eyed look show up with their non liberated wives. Wives who look lobotomized and struggle to keep six kids under the age of six from killing each other while their pompous blow hard of a husband rails against “argent et le vote western”.
Face it, that’s the way it is. You may not like it. You may wish the CPC was something else, but it isn’t. The real question is what are you going to do about it?
Criticizing Muslimss is no fun. It’s a bit like shooting bunny rabbits. They get that puffy look in their eyes, and they wail like a new born baby.
Nonetheless, I am convinced the only way we can renew the CPC, and by extension save Canadian democracy, is to start blasting away. The Party cannot be dominated by any one group and expect to win at the Polls, it's simply impossible. The sooner we acknowledge this 800 Lb Gorilla in the corner, the sooner we can find a reasonable approach that accomodates a diverse enough group of Canadian ideas to win."
The CPC is not dominated by Muslims - but what if it were? Would it matter? Would we say the same things about another group - be they gay, muslim or eep - Evangelical? Would we, in a Canada based on values of tolerance and acceptance, actually tolerate people with whose views we disagree?

Conflict in the blogosphere
Warren Kinsella is pissed off about the Canadian Journalist Blog that just fired up and he has some choice words about the whole project.
Hey, in my mind, journalists can be bloggers, just as long as they keep their comments on.
Warren.
Good thing he redeemed himself with THIS link. Maybe he's thinking about making the jump himself.

Way down in Kosovo
From Darren Barefoot comes some hilarious video footage of some Norwegian peace keepers in Kosovo spoofing the 80's hit Kokomo. Some might find it offensive; others downright hilarious. I just don't know what to say.

Make yourself costly to govern
Jay Jardine and Polspy have come up with the idea of making ourselves "costly to govern". One commenter suggests mailing rocks to PMPM if the postage really is free.
Send rocks to:
PMPM
House of Commons
Parliament Buildings
Ottawa, Ontario
Canada
K1A 0A6
Probably the best way is to do your part to ensure that the Liberals do not have another huge surplus to play around with; try to do as much purchasing from the "underground" or "informal" economy as you can. Taking production out of the "formal" economy means although there is still the same level of economic activity, not as much of it is in the formal sector where it is taxed.
Also, I would suggest forming your own local currency to put a dent in the inflation tax levied on all savings.

New Stuff
My blog has a new home on the web: my own domain at grandinite.com. Blogger went down recently, and I thought I'd try hosting the blog elsewhere. With the account, there's some extra domains, so Alberta Blogs also has its own space. It's going to be huge.
Also, I'm venturing into a fiction-writing blog started by Breebop called Welcome to the Neighbourhood. I created a character named Wes who is based on all the transplanted British Columbians I have met out in Alberta.

Trouble on the blogrolls
Victor Marciano and the Calgary Observer , both members of the Blogging Tories and Alberta Blogs, have gotten into a bit of a tift concerning a theory about Belinda Stronach possibly being a Liberal Mole within the Conservative Party. Victor had some remarks about CO's theory, which I find interesting. Here you have Victor, who is somewhat of an insider, denouncing the theory altogether, calling it "nutty... tinfoil hat too tight - nutty". But he doesn't offer reasons why it's nutty. Nevertheless, it is an interesting theory, and you should check it out. The Calgary Observer has removed the Blogging Tories blogroll, but still links to Marciano vis-a-vis the Alberta Blogs blogroll. Let's hope they can stay linked through Alberta Blogs. If anything, it could serve as a test case that geography creates a tighter bind than political philosophy.
I would have flown the Alberta Red Ensign for the Queen
Geez. As Mr. Rempel points out, the Federal Government may already be funding an Anti-Western Separatist initiative by giving out free Canadian flags out west. In the area of the country that is most pissed off about Adscam (besides Quebec) the Feds might just be slapping up Canadian flags wherever they can in order to promote the facade of unity. For those of you with short memories, slapping up maple leaves throughout Quebec was the modus operandi of promoting unity in Quebec.
Rempel wanted to wave an Alberta flag as the Queen went by, because afterall, this was Alberta's Centennial celebration. But for some strange reason, the kiosk that was handing out Canadian flags did not have any Alberta flags available. Go HERE and read his post and see if your blood doesn't boil.
What irony. I for one, would have proudly flown my Alberta Red Ensign for the Queen, if there were such a thing.

Torstar Blogs Bilderberg
Huh. A while back, I commented that the Toronto Star would be unlikely to publish the fact that its CEO, Robert Prichard attended the 2005 Bilderberg meeting.
Well, as Antonia Zerbisias points out, they just did.
However, this was after the Globe & Mail reported the fact.
Pretty good, for a newspaper blog.
Now if only we could get Zerbisias to become a real blogger and turn her comments section on.
It would certainly take her off the MSM hitlist of Corporate Bloggers.
**NOTE** If you want to read the Globe & Mail Bilderberg article, go through Google News. Scroll down to May 23rd to find it HERE.

Expand your personal Blogosphere (Part III)
Breebop is trying to start a short-fiction blog of stories; I have signed up and am pretty pumped about giving short fiction writing a shot.
Also, check out THIS example of fine creative blogging that involves a mutant Tiger Mole, a gas-guzzler graveyard in winter and a blogger in the role of Pierre Trudeau. I give it a 10/10 for creativity in blogging. Amazing.
Also, if you are dummy and are new to blogging, you might want to check out Andrew's tips for making a great blog.

On being more creative
Via THIS post over at Breebop, I cam across an interesting post at the Gaping Void entitled "How to be More Creative". Just read it. There's a lot of wisdom borne from experience tied up in those words.
