RE: Anyone's opinion on the town I live in is of interest to me

I honestly don't think anyone who looked at it would have regarded it in any way. They would have probably ignored it. It's a public journal, but still personal to me. I agree with Dean, I don't know if you saw his comment -

"This isn't fair, I read Doz's Blog regularly and you've completely taken this out of context, and apparently without her permission. Even if journals are public on the internet they are still personal. This isn't a report on the ice rink, it's a personal opinion of it. Furthermore it was made on the spur of the moment, like much in journal entry, it reflects the feelings of the person at the time. Therefore you can hardly call this little snippet relevant in my opinion. I also seriously doubt that this would have had an effect on anyone working on local projects. Chances are they would never have come across it or simply disregarded it as after all, it's just a journal entry of one person, not an opinion widely shared among your community. By displaying it in this way you're giving people the wrong idea about the author and the Ice Rink itself."

We are family!

Interesting genealogy story here on Yahoo, statisticians say we'd only have to go back 2000 years or so for all our family trees to interconnect

With the help of a statistician, a computer scientist and a supercomputer, Olson has calculated just how interconnected the human family tree is. You would have to go back in time only 2,000 to 5,000 years — and probably on the low side of that range — to find somebody who could count every person alive today as a descendant.

Furthermore, Olson and his colleagues have found that if you go back a little farther — about 5,000 to 7,000 years ago — everybody living today has exactly the same set of ancestors. In other words, every person who was alive at that time is either an ancestor to all 6 billion people living today, or their line died out and they have no remaining descendants.

A new 419 variant

Hmm, at least I hope this is a 419, as I've reported it, rather than claiming the cash...
