It would probably be better if there were more people though.
A coffee enthusiast in St. Andrews, N.B., has learned the customer may not always be right.
After complaining three times about "burnt" decaffeinated coffee at the local Tim Hortons, Jimmy Craig is now banned for life from that outlet and the one in nearby St. Stephen.
"It was like brown, burnt water," said Craig. "I almost, you know, got sick in the sink."
Craig said he voiced his concerns to the store manager and corporate office, then got a meeting with the owner, Edwin Dow.

The Century Theatre: Talk 820 interview with Matt Jelly - Video
The photographs of Russian chemist and photographer, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, show Russia on the eve of World War I and the coming of the revolution. From 1909-1912 and again in 1915, Prokudin-Gorskii travelled across the Russian Empire, documenting life, landscapes and the work of Russain people. His images were to be a photographic survey of the time. He travelled in a special train car transformed into a dark room to process his special process of creating color images, a technology that was in its infancy in the early 1900’s. Prokudin-Gorskii left Russia in 1918, after the Russian Revolution had destroyed the Empire he spent years documenting. To learn more about the Prokudin-Gorskii, the process he used to create the color photographs, and see his collection, you can visit the Library of Congress, who purchased his glass negatives in 1948 after his death in 1944.
New Pirate Parties are popping up all around the world, putting copyright, censorship and privacy issues on the political agenda. The Canadian Pirate Party is eager to join in. They are currently seeking federal approval and need just a few more members to become registered as an official political party.
Thus far 2009 has been a great year for the Pirate Party movement. With more than 7 percent of the vote, the Swedish Pirate Party secured a seat in the European Parliament, and the Pirates in Germany entered the local Parliament a few weeks later.
These successes motivated supporters of the party’s ideals in other countries to become active as well. In the UK the Pirate Party was officially registered at the Electoral Commission in August and in other countries local parties are trying to achieve the same.

There are all sorts of ways to reconstruct the history of life on Earth. Pinning down when specific events occurred is often tricky, though. For this, biologists depend mainly on dating the rocks in whichfossils are found, and by looking at the "molecular clocks" in theDNAof living organisms.
There are problems with each of these methods. The fossil record is like a movie with most of the frames cut out. Because it is soincomplete, it can be difficult to establish exactly when particular evolutionary changes happened.
Moderngeneticsallows scientists to measure how different species are from each other at a molecular level, and thus to estimate how much time has passed since a single lineage split into different species.Confounding factorsrack up for species that are very distantly related, making the earlier dates more uncertain.
These difficulties mean that the dates in the timeline should be taken as approximate. As a general rule, they become more uncertain the further back along thegeological timescalewe look. Dates that are very uncertain are marked with a question mark.
