ERS : Class of 2000 - 2005 or so

Donate a phone - save a life

2005-08-10T15:33:00.000-07:00

Your old cell phone can help stop family violence. Donate your used wireless phone to support the Canadian Women's Foundation (CWF). Donated phones are refurbished, sold, or recycled with proceeds benefitting the CWF.

Wireless phones with batteries and charges can be dropped off at any of the Body Shop stores throughout August 31st, 2005.

The Bodyshop has participated in other events and organizations working to end violence against women. Bodyshop was one of numerous partners with Amnesty's two year campaign to end violence against women.

Help stop violence in the home.

The CWF has supported more than 600 projects in communities across Canada - projects to prevent violence against women and girls, build healthy relationships, give women and girls skills for economic independence and help abused women rebuild their lives.

Temmer would this philosophy conference have anything to do with the metaphysics of quality or intellectual value? I finished Lila about four weeks ago, thanks again for the heads up!

Sharm you are awesome, Paris will love having you. Tell me all about it. Perhaps in Cape Croker.

I think word needs to be spread about this page again, oh and my page http://spaces.msn.com/members/mgjmarti

Livin' it up in Liverpool

2005-06-28T12:00:00.000-07:00

Damn I talk a lot.

Way too go Sharm.
Here's to doing exciting things!

While searching for some material for my 496 essay (you didn't think I'd finished that did you!?) I got invited to a philosophy conference at the University of Liverpool. I'm gone from the 4th to the 8th of July, and like Sharm, I have one day to check out the city so I've been searching around for something. If anyone has suggestions let me know, otherwise I'll let you all know how it goes when I get back!

Stay cool...
Temmer

ERS : off to a place called Paris

2005-06-17T00:15:00.000-07:00

hi everyone,

just wanted to share some fabulous news! I got the best graduation present yesterday, right in time before we left for the bar :).

i was suppose to be taking a break from Amnesty stuff, but i got an opportunity that i couldn't resist. i am attending an International meeting, on behalf of Amnesty Canada English Speaking section on the fabulous topic of 'Activism'. So, I will be off to Paris for a few days at the end of the month. there will be about 60 people from all over the world. I will have one day to tour, so its going to be a challenge choosing where to go visit.

good luck to everyone, and enjoy your summer holidays!

sharm.

Congratulations Everyone!!

Just a quick little note to congratulate everyone who convocated yesterday. And my condolences on the hangovers this morning. For the rest of you who are in my boat, we'll see you in September! (see you.. when the summer's through... [okay enough of that]).
Cheers,
Temmer

smash parkinglot put up some paradise

Whoa, my first ever blog posting. Would you all laugh if you knew I just heard of these last semester, yah laugh it up nerd-oids. Well as I was revewing the postings to date, I couldn't help but notice the smashing of the remainder of the waterloo town square in efforts towards putting a park in its place. I have a kickass view from my room in paper tree, and I'll tell you, I'm sure it's strategic the way they take down buildings, but from here it just looks like a metal arm shouving the remaining structure to the ground. Still very cool, in fact, I'm so drawn to it that I've got screen marks imprinted in my face. That's all I've got. More from you all.

Sweet deal

2005-05-20T23:00:00.000-07:00

Hey all... Maren here
This is a sweet deal, Mike you rock, thanks.
Turns out I am in Calgary right now, hopefully I will remedy this situation soon and get back to Saskatchewan where the pickles and perogies are. I shall be in Vancouver by next week and will let you all know when I become a semi-stable human being. Yes Saskatchewan is the wrong way but you have to do what you have to do for pickles.

My Recommendation of the summer is that everyone visits Flin Flon Manitoba. WOW! I found the reason I am so strange, his name is Uncle Dale.

Cheers,
Maren

Hey dudes and dudettes...
If anyone is down my way this summer I'll be serving up hot food and cold beer on the patio at the Turkey Point Hotel. It's also a great place to come camping if you're looking for somewhere to take a quick break away from city life. They just burned the black oak savannah at the provincial park last year so this is the time to come down and see it when the undergrowth is still grassey - better than the concrete jungle.

Since my slacker reputation has preceeded me once again, I'll be spending the fall in Waterloo completing my undergraduate degree(s). You're all welcome to visit as I'll still be hanging out in the Paper Tree.

As a last note, if you're looking for something fun to read for the summer, I HIGHLY suggest a book by our late guru Bob Hunter called "On the Sky: Zen and the Art of International Freeloading". Wicked autobiography about the founder of Greenpeace being generally debaucherous and trying to mask it as travel writing. Fuckin' brillilance.

Peace out
Temmer

Where is Everyone

2005-05-19T14:00:00.000-07:00

Mike Martin

I thought a good first excercise in the ERS Blog adventure would be to tell everyone where we are currently, I'll start...

currently I'm in Waterloo, I'll be in Toronto in early June, then off to Tanzania for five weeks, return to Canada in late July then off to the North West Territories for the remainder of the summer
