Hey @buckyharms107th and @lily-grove, we’re tentatively looking into coming to Canada this October and I just found out there might be a Hot Topic in a mall somewhere in Toronto, can you confirm?
hahaha! I can indeed confirm there in one in downtown toronto (eaton centre) and one right by me (Mississauga) in square one (i just got back from there too haha!) :)
WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO TORONTO WILL YOU COME SEE ME?! most malls have Hot Topics in them now. I can also confirm they are in the one’s caitlin mentioned. If you are downtown then it will be the Eaton Centre, which definitely has a Hot Topic (and a Disney store!)
FB message me about coming here and I can give you LOADS of info! :) (you should also bring your gear and come practice with my team :D)
OF COURSE I’LL COME SEE YOU, WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? I promise I wouldn’t just fly to Canada and then completely ignore that you live there. Thank you both! :D I’m gonna do so much shopping aaaaaaaaah~
I’ll message you once we have more plans. For now it’s just a vague idea of coming over sometime in autumn, probably October, possibly over Halloween, and come see you in Toronto and @waury-d in Montreal. Bringing my skates to practice with you would be awesome :D
YES. COME TO CANADA. YOU’RE WELCOME ANYTIME.
4ft 8.5"
Why 4 FEET 8.5 Inches is Very Important
Fascinating Stuff …
Railroad Tracks The U.S. Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches.
That’s an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the U.S. Railroads.
Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used.
Why did ‘they’ use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular Odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that’s the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So, who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.
Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.
Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.
In other words, bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a specification, procedure, or process, and wonder, ‘What horse’s ass came up with this?’, you may be exactly right.
Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses.
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, you will notice that there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs.
The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah.
The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit larger, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.
The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel.
The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses’ behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse’s ass.
And you thought being a horse’s ass wasn’t important!
Now you know, Horses’ Asses control almost everything.
Explains a whole lot of stuff, doesn’t it?
This is the single most mind blowing fact I’ve read on tumblr, every day is a school day-thank you.
Nice history lesson!

For those who don’t know, Montreal just passed a pit bull ban. Every dog who even resembles a “pit bull” who doesn’t have a current home in Montreal will be killed. I can’t even imagine how frantic and desperate the Montreal shelter caregivers are right now. URGENT foster homes outside of Montreal are needed. It doesn’t matter where you live. If you’re able to foster or know someone who is then pass this along: http://www.mrmoproject.com/ Fill out an application and put “Montreal” where it asks for a specific dog.

So I went to a drawing session at an “anti-café” downtown. I knew I would be “late” for the beginning due to working on the West Island, so I couldn’t make it before 6, when it started at 5.
Because I was going there for the event and not for the food, I briefly considered showing up with some Starbucks from the café 4 doors down. Until I realized that it would be rude to bring food from somewhere else AND be late.
One hour late with a cup of Starbucks, anyone? :P
Turns out, I could have. The concept is that you pay for your presence in the café, not for the food/drink, so you’re welcome to bring stuff from elsewhere. The food onsite is free, although you don’t get the variety a normal café offers.
Basically, it’s an open space that you rent with loads of other people while you’re there. It’s cool :)
Random question: when something is described as “pumpkin spice,” or “pumpkin pie spice,” do you expect it to actually have pumpkin flavor in it? Because I have clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger essential oils, and I can make a “pumpkin pie spice” lip balm, but it won’t have any actual pumpkin in it.
To me, pumpkin spice/pumpkin pie spice describes the spice mixture alone (which can be used with a lot of flavors beyond pumpkin.)
agreed. pumpkin spice means spice for pumpkins.

I found out about this last winter I believe and I felt so betrayed because all this time I thought Americans really flavoured their coffee with pumpkin
Starbucks recently (past few years?) changed its Pumpkin Spice syrup to include actual pumpkin puree. To be fair though, cooked pumpkin (like in pies and cakes and such) don’t taste all that much, so it’s easier (and likely cheaper) to rely on the spices rather than on the pumpkin itself. Most people would not know the difference anyway.
The Starbucks “controversy,” when a well-publicized “chemicals are eeeevil” food blogger who shall not be named made a big stink over the pumpkin spice latte not containing actual pumpkin, actually prompted this question. :) I’m in the “it’s the spice mix, not the gourd” camp, but wanted to be sure before I started mixing lip balm flavors.
Yeah, some people don’t realize that chemicals in anything is a lot more complex than chemical = bad. Also that chemical =/= artificial.
I’d imagine it’d be more scent-based than taste-based anyway? (I don’t know, I use very little lip balm, and they usually taste all equally awful, but they small good)
If so, going for the gourd is practically useless, it doesn’t really smell much either. Spices will do a perfect job evoking the whole thing, without the headache of finding how to add pumpkin in the mix :)

A group of cat-lovers has redecorated an entire south London Tube station by replacing adverts with pictures of cats.
Commuters passing through Clapham Common station today stopped to marvel at the posters after campaigners raised £23,000 on a crowd-funding website to give the station a makeover.
The group – called the Citizens Advertising Takeover Service, or CATS for short - said they want to give passengers a break from the constant advertising on the underground.
All 68 adverts in the station have been replaced with the photos which feature stray cats from two rescue charities, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and Cats Protection.

@pikkuinen and @hannibeere! If you make it there, take pictures!! :D
And before you I had nowhere to run to Nothing to hold on to I came so close to giving it up. And I wonder if you know How it feels to let you go? ‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way But I could never find the words to say Stay, stay, stay, stay with me. [x]

It’s vaguely annoying because Jon Bernthal shares a pretty strong resemblance with my officemate. So watching him in Daredevil is a bit distracting >.<
It’s even more annoying that Bernthal is kinda hot >.<
Marry him
Sadly his basic understanding of human perception is not compatible with mine, and he’s a couple of decades older. Also, while he’s a handsome man, definitely not as hot as Bernthal.
Aaaand he’s gone, so hopefully I can appreciate Bernthal’s face again without odd feelings.

CANADIAN FOLLOWERS:
For the first time in Canadian history a parliament member has formally sponsored a petition to legally recognize hate crimes against Muslims.
“Canada is witnessing a sharp increase in Islamophobia, which has even been described as an “epidemic” in certain large areas of the country. Citizens are aggressively and physically attacked on the streets, shopping malls, and community centres. Moreover, places of worship are being firebombed and vandalized. Islamophobic political campaigns have become very troubling, mainly during theelection periods. Furthermore, some media outlets add salt to the wound by becoming venues for anti-Muslim rhetoric under the justification of “freedom of speech,” which seems to be without boundaries and irresponsible when it comes to bashing Islam and Muslim citizens.
Under this gloomy climate, citizens from all aspects of society, responsible media, and honest, elected decision makers have the civil duty and moral obligation to stand up united to denounce all sorts of discrimination and prejudice. To come together with initiatives that clearly condemn and refuse any act, talk and policies that lead to hatred, hostility and lack of harmony within society.
On June 2nd 2010, The Canadian Muslim Forum (FMC-CMF) led delegations consisting of representatives, young professionals, activists, women advocates and others on Parliamentary Day at the Hill. The main objective of meeting the Federal parties’ caucuses on that day was to introduce and express concerns about Islamophobia, and its impact on Arab and Muslim citizens. From that day, the most noticeable remark was that most of the policy makers were not fully aware of the dangers of Islamophobia, and its implications on Canadian society.”
- Samer Majzoub, initiated of petition e-411, Condemning Islamophobia Promotes Human Values
At the time of writing this petition has acquired 12,894 of its 100,000 required signatures due October 6, 2016 at 5:45 PM EDT.
I urge all my Canadian followers to sign the petition here and to share this with as many people as you can. Non-Canadians are strongly encouraged to share this as well.
