Firefox for Farmers

Many farmers have been recently discussing the values of modern technology around their areas – to be able to implement and use it. The ability to own a broadband connection and a computer for that matter and to be able to turn it on, without it turning back off again because it’s backwards, being Windows 98.

Now, in 2007, farmers have finally developed an idea that works, and we’ve all used this idea before. In fact, we could be using it now. The idea is preventing millions of users getting spyware, viruses and ads as well as other annoyances and now…

Canada C$1 Million Coin

This single coin worth 1 million Canadian dollars or equivalent to 903,506 U.S. dollars!

Canada_1million_coin

The Royal Canadian Mint has produced the world’s first 100-kilogram gold coin with a face value of $1 million. And they’re for sale.

The coin is the size of a “very thick pizza” — 50 centimetres wide and three centimetres thick — and is .99999 pure.

It was originally meant to be a one-off novelty item to help promote the other gold coin the mint unveiled Thursday — a new line of one-ounce Maple Leaf bullion coins that will have a face value of C$200.

But after several interested buyers came forward, the mint decided to produce “a very limited quantity” of the C$1-million coins (US $907,000) on a made-to-order basis for public sale.

Even though the big coin has a face value of C$1 million, it won’t sell for that. At current prices, the coin’s 3,215 troy ounces of gold are worth well over $2 million.

Top 10 Hair Myths

It’s time to get to know your hair better…Here are the top 10 scientific facts about hair myths.

Short-hair-cuts-styles1.  Cutting your hair makes it stronger or grow faster.

Bull winkle. Its hair, not a lawn. Exactly where this myth started is unknown, but is probably related to the observation of men’s facial hair. There are different kinds of hair on your face and head. Hair on your head and facial hair have different properties. Cutting your hair will only make it shorter and hairs grows almost exactly half an inch per month, no matter what you do or take.

2.  Split ends can be repaired.

Sorry Charlie, not true. Split ends cannot be repaired and should be cut off immediately or they will split yet higher and do yet more damage.

3.  Brushing your hair is good for it.

To the contrary, brushing your hair is very bad for your hair and the leading contributor to split ends and hair breakage. By all means groom your hair, but once it is in place, STOP.

12 Must Know Terms While Traveling In Canada

This tips are some how quite interesting to know – even if you are not going to travel to Canada.

Canada-maple-leaf1. Loonies and Toonies – These cutesy words are far weightier than they sound. They mean money. Loonies are gold colored $1 coins. Where does this term come from? Well the Loon is the national bird appearing on the front of the $1 coin. The lonesome call of the Loon is a familiar sound in the Canadian wilderness.

2. Toonies – Yes, you guessed it. Toonies are the Loonies $2 cousin.

3. Tuque – The quintessential winter accessory in Canada. We hear that these winter hats are called “ski hats” or “beanies” elsewhere. But Canadians will keep their tuques, thank you very much.

4. Tim Hortons – Canada’s favorite coffee and donut shop. Located throughout the country and often referred to as “Timmies”, it’s a staple in the Canadian diet.

5. Double-double – Often heard at Tim Horton’s, this is the way the “pros” order a coffee with two creams and two sugars

6. Pop – The common word for a soft drink, deriving from “soda pop”. Up here, soda is the fizzy water that’s good for getting pop stains out of clothes.

7. Washroom – A synonym for bathroom, restroom or toilet. Don’t waste precious time looking for the bathroom when all signs point to the washroom.

8. Poutine – With all the multi-cultural foods peppering Canada, be sure to try this homegrown favorite on your vacation. This dish of French fries, cheese curds and gravy originated in Quebec has won fans across the country. Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds!

9. Canuck – This is a term of endearment for “Canadian” as in the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks, who can be seen on Hockey Night in Canada. Hockey Night in Canada is a must see TV event for hockey lovers…meaning most of Canada. Ask any Canadian on your vacation to hum the theme song – it’s a catchy one!

10. Runners – These are casual sports shoes, otherwise called sneakers or tennis shoes. “Runners” can join “sneakers” on my unofficial list of oddly named items.

11. Click/Kilometer – Kilometer is such a cumbersome word for measuring distance. The slang “click” is a much faster way to share how many kilometers you’ve traveled on your Canadian vacation.

12. Bill – Although you may run into a few friendly Canucks named Bill, chances are you’ll meet bill more often. In Canada, a bill is what you pay at a restaurant.

So, next time you’re in Canada, counting your loonies and toonies while enjoying your double-double after walking 10 clicks in runners and thinking about asking for the bill …you’ll feel right at home.
