PIZZA RESERVES UNSUSTAINABLE

Tim Blair writes about the 'retirement' of David Suziki. For those who do not know this Japanese/Canadian scientist, follow the link on Tim's site. Call me cynical, but I love Tim's last line.
It's Friday, so good weekend, all.

Great Quote

Via Instapundit.com comes a great quote from Victor Davis Hanson. Guess it does pay to study history after all. Mr Bavota would be proud and happy to hear.

Kim Campbell Thornton

On your right, under links, note the addition of a pet link. A good friend and neighbor, Kim is, well here is a portion from her blog ..." I've been writing about cat and dog care for 20 years..."

Visit her ( Kim ) to read it all, and you will be a better person for it. She also writes a regular column at msnbc.com, link on her site.

Along with her husband, they have also started something called The Darcy Fund. If you like Cavalier Spanial's - you know, the Royal Kind - then you will want to check out this place Darcy's Daily .

They recently lost Darcy and started this fund to aid research. The fund is handled by ACKCSC Charitable Trust. Details, with a history, are lovingly explained at Darcy's.
Got to run. Enjoy reading. And thanks for stopping by.

ProfessorBainbridge.com

This smart-guy, ProfessorBainbridge.com , a Biz Law Prof from UCLA is re-thinking his main blog. Luckily, no mention of him stopping his other blog,
http://www.professorbainbridgeonwine.com/.

Lots of good tips there, like his most recent. Will have to look for it.

Sad that he seems to have removed all his old posts, as he was always a good, level headed read. Thanks, sir, and good luck.

Getty Images paying hardball

Good friend of mine with a small internet business just received a cease and desist order from Getty - along with a bill for over TWO THOUSAND dollars. Seems on his website, he had these two generic operator photo's that he put up there.

He did not realize they were copyright protected images. He of course took them off right away, and is now trying to negotiate a fairer deal. Why would a big company like this try and nail a little guy? A quick email and he removed them - no harm done. It is not like he intended to steal. I know the law is not on his side, but sometimes companies should just do the right thing.

Anyone else out there have any ideas? I am assuming this may be read by someone, but I doubt it :)
