Swiss Team in Lulea- 20.3.2005 

Have been way up NORTH these past few days, as I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful countryside of Norrbotten Lappland.

After 3 flights, I made it with my team to the Northern Town of Lulea, which is near the arctic circle for 3 fun filled days of activities revolving around SNOW and ICE.

With the temperature hovering at -10 degrees celcius , we were given Space aged suits to bundle ourselves into for the various activities. The first event revolved around driving different obstacle courses in rented cars on a lake. My favourite was the close cut course involving the use of your hand break to slide around the small orange cones. This was such a head rush .....

Other activities included snowmobiling, ice go carting and a beautiful dog sledding trip with 20 + riled up sled dogs.

For a good look at what we experienced, please go to the MSN Spaces PhotoBlog:

Lamborghini Concept S @ the Geneva Motor Show 

Mercedes McLaren SLR @ the Geneva Motor Show 

Aston Martin Vantage V8 @ the Geneva Car Show

As is the case every year, the local Geneva International Motor Show , was a raging success as cars of all shapes and sizes were trumpeted as the next big thing in the automotive world. My highlight of the Auto Show was the beautifully designed V8 Vantage Aston Martin . I took a picture of it up top just to show you the curves of this great machine.

Another fav of mine was the 2005 Mercedes SLR McLaren . The SLR looks like something out of a Batman movie as the doors rise up when you open the car.

Lastly, I checked out the Concept S Lamborghini , which had its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The Concept S is a prototype model and as reported on Carpages.co.uk will never go into production as it is titled a 'open cockpit vehicle'.

Anyone see anyother great cars worth mentioning here.....

Waterguns are not permitted on Canadian Flights! 

After surfing through Yahoo Canada, my eye caught a banner advertisement of the Canadian Transport Security Authority . As you can see from the ad (See above=), Canadian's are to be educated on what and what they can't bring onboard. To check out the list of items which are permitted and not permitted, it is quite interesting to see what the Government officals decided as 'permitted objects' on airplanes.

Here is a list of all 'permitted objects' which can be checked in:

- Corkscrews, other than those with attched knives.(You might get thirsty midway through a flight, so what better way to drink your wine then to have a corksrew handy :)

-Knitting Needles (Yes, if Grandma needs these then the Canadian officials say it is ok! This could be a potential weapon! Duh....)

-Sports Raquets (such as tennis, squash and racquetball) (So this means that it is fully ok toclub someone during the flight!)

- Umbrellas, Walking Canes, Whips (!) (Can you imagine that whips are aloud on board? Who in heaven sits on the board of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority? S&M freaks or whip interest groups? You tell me....

It would be interesting to hear from other blogger's about the laws in their country on travelling. If you can take a whip onboard in Canada, what might you be able to take on board in Swaziland or the Cayman Islands.....

Please let me know----------


Looking FWD to seeing what content is needed for Blogg readers the world over.

Tom Green 

Just finished watching the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Tom Green's funny report from Texas. As I was surfing, I ended up on Tom's website and found that the patriotic Canuck has been busy snapping crazy video's of everything from talking to his mom on the Roamy Phone (check the link) or the Toilet Cleaner Man.

I decided to also try out Video Blogging and I just finished posting my first online Blog video courtesy of Videoaddon.com and am pleasently surprised at the ease of use of the site.



In other Blog News, Darren Barefoot's BLOG reports that Mybloglog.com is helping him see which links people are clicking. To Darren's amazement, his post on the Wikepedia Lloyd Axworthy link gets him alot of views. As I have tested with my post on PARIS HILTON , using 'famous' people does increase the clicks on your page :)

Now if I could only figure out how to get more clicks on the Google supported Ads which I have on my site, I would understand why some people are giving up their day jobs to blog....

1.3.2005 - One of the few chances SCB got their hockey sticks on the puck----



For all the hockey fans from the NHL who are pretty much watching daisies grow because of the non-existant contract negotiations, I had the chance to feast my eyes on the defending Swiss Hockey Champion, SCB . After getting off to an explosive start, the Luganese countered with a slew of goals , 4 to be exact in the second period, to the surprise of SCB.

The 16 000 plus, sellout crowd in the pyramid shaped ice arena was extremely quiet as SCB tried to get back into the game. There were hardly any passes which were utilized, moreover there was no muscle added in this critical 2nd game of the Playoffs. David Aebischer, the Colorado Goalie and Swiss native added muscle in the net, as he blocked a late rush by SCB in the third period.
With the win, HCLugano have Home advantage, which means that the next game will be in Lugano.
