One of my favorite combinations is feta cheese and spinach, often in combination with fresh mushrooms and/or ham or Canadian bacon-- needless to say, I love Greek food also. It has been years since I ordered or sat down to fresh pizza -- more often than not the crust is overly...

Tony, in many respects the 'rumour that film is dead' (a mere contention?) is somewhat premature -- albeit, it is undeniable that labs that process colour film are getting harder to find and the associated costs have risen, and will likely continue to do so, steadily. If one follows the photo...

My, this is turning into one of the most interesting threads I have read in long time anywhere :D Idealistically I am pulled towards the concept of Bakunin-style arnarchism (particularly his concepts of responsibility); realistically I am a Social Democrat. Socialism is not necessarily an...

With that slim of a margin Harper is going to have to tread softly and moderate his stance if he expects to accomplish anything of note. Back in the Trudeau era minority governments were almost the norm and the NDP subsequently had a significant influence on what could be passed since they...

There are also other intrinsic rewards such as social standing, implicit authority, and relative workplace autonomy that may also may make working as a professional rewarding. In comparison, a factory worker generally has little say in what they do. The report also didn't mention whether or...

Perhaps because they may feel that having the opportunity to do what they love to do, to providing a service to their fellows, and gaining the corresponding sastisfaction constitutes a reward in itself. It is not uncommon for physicians outside of economies where free-market capitalism reigns...

At the bottom of the page that Mercutio linked to also lists the Evoluent VerticalMouse. I've been using them for approx. three years now, and I no longer have mouse-related repetitive stress injury problems that came close to crippling my right hand (this is after I could no longer use my left...

In Alaska during the winter it is not uncommon for the sky to be lit up like a neon store light display on some nights. The most common colour is a bright dayglo lime green, interspersed with streaks of magenta through to a deep purple. The waves often weave together like a waltz of celestial...

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I am not aware of any evidence that proves that what those men did was actually driven by true Islamic convictions. Yes, they probably were thoroughly indoctrinated to believe that their beliefs played a significant rationale for their actions, but in all...

That's a rather extreme form of moral relativism there don't you think!? Just to add my bit to this whole discussion on morals: it was my understanding that morals are values/mores that are imposed on a person by their society/religion/... ; whereas ethics are values (generally positive)...

One of the dangers of speaking in generalities is that there are almost always exceptions. :wink:

You may be wrong there. When the whole gay marriage issue starting gaining steam in Canada back in the 80s sometime, many of the gay leaders admitted that one of their principle corresponding interests was to gain the retirement and pension benefits that commonly went to spouses on the death of...

This really depends on where you live; but in general, wild animals can be found in even the most densly populated city. Taken to an extreme, your question would lead to the conclusion that there is no place for people at all (not necessarily a bad concept) :D Speaking more in context of this...
