Why does Apple make their batteries irreplaceable?
They are replacable,cheap at Irepair.ca on college street in Toronto.They can also sell you a hard drive for your(older )Ipod. Cheap and great service on all things Apple.

“Why donâ€™t soft drink manufacturers use Splenda, a sweetener made from sugar that tastes like sugar in their diet drinks instead of the potentially dangerous chemically based ones?” Allegedly because Reagan owed Rumsfeld for something..

Thanks for the spoiler! I didn’t know Sam Elliott’s character dies in Road House. I (surprisingly) haven’t seen the movie yet. It’s ok – I’m still going to watch it. I hear there’s this part where Sam shows off a scar a near crotch-level and you can clearly notice a lack of underwear.
I’ve got a screencap of it under my pillow.
Yeah, I’ll be watching that movie….

Lots of great questions Bob. Success is relative of course. I’m finding in my aging that success is more aligned with becoming self-fullfilled rather than becoming popular or rich. I keep telling my students that success in learning music and playing an instrument starts with desire and then grows with enthusiasm and motivation. The 2nd and 3rd are harder to come by.

Lester Dent’s “Man Of Bronze”, pulp series was one of my favourite. In the 60′s and early 70′s the covers painted by James Bama were fantastic. When I grew out of short pants the first major item I bought was a Bama print.
When I got married not only did I loss my innocents, but also my collection of Doc Savage books. They just took up too much room and didn’t fit the decor. I still have the print, but it’s hanging in the basement with the stuff that shouldn’t be see by decent people . . . like my drums.

Bill Graham once said that in order to succeed you need talent, focus, and luck. The “work ethic” you have described in a myth taught to us in public schools so that people will be good workers. It has little to do with real life. In real life, some people with talent make it commercially and others don’t. Alot relied on luck and happenstance, fate and destiny. Some things are meant to be and other things are not, regardless of the presence of talent. Commerical success is something all artists dream of achieving but some never do — or don’t until after they are dead and then rediscovered. The important thing is: if you have talent, use that talent to better the world in whatever way you can and let go of the rest. We are here to serve a purpose but not necessarily to serve our own purposes.
