JammieWearingFool

Not as good as an Instalink (TM) but JammieWearingFool got linked by Dan Riehl.

The Riehl World View, that is.

As a relatively new blogger, I'm always thankful to be linked at sites that I frequent, and today got a nice welcome. Not just added to the blogroll, but included in a post! Obviously, I have a mere fraction of Dan's traffic, but it's been growing steadily since November.

Welcome to all readers from Riehl World View and I hope you enjoy what you see, and be sure to check my links, as a number of relatively new bloggers and others you may not be familiar with are listed there. Included are some gracious blog heavyweights who've also added me.

Feel free to drop me a line (jammiewearingfool at yahoo dot com) if you'd like to be added here and thanks for visiting. (link)

I've got Jammie on the links to your left but no mention of me :( (heh) although I do need to include Dan, I just visit him from a bookmark atm.

My plug post for Perdido got a couple of bites (and I spoke to them on the phone) but not the response I would have liked from the Perdido Ladies (gone wild?), I'll have to do a much better post after I return from my visit.

Shameless Plug

I won't actually be staying here, but I will be visiting with some people that work there so, in an effort to get these ladies to comment, I'm plugging their resort.

Relax and play in paradise at our full-service resort located directly on the sugar-white beaches of Alabama's Gulf Coast. Enjoy spacious rooms with private balconies and stunning Gulf views. Gourmet cuisine, and live entertainment. Whether you're planning a romantic get-away or family vacation, there's something for everyone.

I will look around the resort while I'm at the beach for the weekend of March 30-April 1 so maybe I'll post on what I find then. Of course I don't expect to be 100% rational while I'm there so you never know.

'Freedom' in Canada and 25peeps.com

I had a link on but it seems to have left the board. I'm not sure who put it there, but thanks for the thought and click the pic and maybe I'll get back on there.

News on freedom in Canada.

Curb violent music, videos, coalition urges

January 17, 2007

Daniel Girard
Education Reporter
Citing the “negative impact of violent media” on young people, a coalition of educators and parents today called on Ottawa and Queen’s Park to help make things safer.

Saying repeated studies conclude there’s a “causal connection” between the violence children see on television, hear in music or are exposed to over the Internet and their aggressive behaviour, professor Peter Jaffe of the University of Western Ontario said a lot more needs to be done to mitigate it.

The group wants the federal government to amend the Criminal Code to give women and girls protection under the public incitement of hatred law. They also called for changes to the Broadcasting Act to prevent television and radio stations from airing violent and adult-oriented programs before 9 p.m.

And, the group also wants the provinces to introduce and age-based classification system for pre-recorded music like the one that exists for films and video games.

“There is no question that parents and professionals who work with children are adolescents are gravely concerned about the potential harmful effects of media violence,” Jaffe, an education professor who works in the university’s Centre for Research and Education on Violence Against Women and Children.

Seems the land of the 'eh' and hockey is not the land of freedom. A friend of mine won't like this, especially since he detest the 'loss of freedoms' in this country (as of yet he hasn't told me one freedom I've lost, but I'm waiting).
