| Thursday Mar 29, 2001 | I didn't realize you could get a Ph.D. in parapsychology, but it's good that as part of the curriculum you will work on discovering "new vocational niches". You could always set up a website to sell equipment all paranormal researchers need, like EMF meters, and, ahem, batteries. Maybe you could hit up the ISPR for a job later on. Me, I'm picking up an EMF meter and heading out to some spooky places, despite my lack of official qualifications. Or maybe I'll just go to Australia and apply to be a contestant on Scream Test, because I'm too old to audition for MTV's Fear. Real ghostly encounters? Some of them seem suspiciously rigged, but the show is still a great way for some paranormal investigators to make money.

| Wednesday Mar 28, 2001 | Griots, like Papa Susso, whom I heard sing at an event for Eritrean poetry, are storyteller-historian-singers who play a harplike gourd instrument called a kora or cora. Should you want your own kora, you can make one, substituting a cake tin for the difficult-to-find really big gourd.

| As I write this, Opening Day is just four days away and I can't wait for the first pitch. I must admit that I'm particularly excited because, this year, I am among the fantasy baseball junkies that have spent weeks analyzing players and drafting their teams' rosters. But, even our Canadian friends agree that it's about much more than the game. to Sports by rich |

| As a pet owner, you know how much joy and pleasure can be found in the company of animals. Perhaps your empathy for animal life runs deep enough for you to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. Good for you! So why are you still buying conventional pet food? Sure, many people dismiss the idea of dogs and cats adopting a vegetarian diet as "unnatural." But consider: is it any more "natural" for dogs and cats to eat the ground-up remains of factory-farmed meat deemed "unfit for human consumption," like dying, diseased or downed cattle? Perhaps you might consider healthier, cruelty-free alternatives. Take a look beyond commercial supermarkets and you will discover an entire industry catering to the meatless diets of both dogs and cats.
Unfortunately, most of the web resources used by Veterinarians are fee-based (like VIN), precluding links to articles in the formal literature that outline the impact of imposing a vegetarian diet on carnivorous and omnivorous animals. Cat owners take note: one responsible vegetarian organization has an article urging those thinking about a vegetarian diet for their cat to reconsider.

| British performer Chris Morris
is neither a comedian nor a performance
artist. He is, in one regard, a sonic outlaw,
who creates hilarious yet horribly bleak aural and visual documents for such TV
and radio programs as Blue
Jam and Brass Eye (which have been yanked off the air within a
few episodes—a not uncommon occurrence where Mr. Morris is concerned). In
any event, he is infinitely more challenging to your funnybone and sense of good
taste than most pathetic, potty-mouthed comedians. I'd hesitate before calling him “the
next Lenny Bruce," but he's certainly as infuriating to the English Establishment as Mr. Bruce was to America's grey flannel suit crowd. to Humor by fatherdan |

| Friday Mar 23, 2001 | In September of 2000, William Gibson traveled from Los Angeles to Vancouver in the back of a camera-equipped limousine, discussing his life, his writing, society, and the future. The result is No Maps for These Territories, which premiered at this year's Slamdance Film Festival. The movie is a must-see for any Gibson fan, so contact your local independent theater and pressure them into screening it. to Movies by kapital |
