Deadline to enter Driven to Quit contest is today
Jacquie Dauda's risk of heart disease is half what it was a year ago, when she smoked. Since she quit last March she says she feels energized in a way that still surprises her. "It's a whole year now," says Dauda, who had smoked for 18 years before she successfully quit in the 2006 Driven to Quit contest, "so that's awesome." Her kids are pretty pleased, too. Not only is she living a healthier lifestyle, but her successful quitting won the family a 32-inch Sony HDTV, as one of seven regional winners in the provincewide contest. Some 2,229 adults who smoke in the area serviced by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit participated in last year's contest, making up almost 10 per cent of the entries for the entire province. Health unit staff are hoping to have even more people sign up this year to make an attempt to quit, and hopefully, like Dauda, quit for good.

Gizmodo first shots of Apple...
Noah over at Gizmodo already received his new AppleTV and takes us through the unboxing steps and his first impressions..He says that the packaging is one of the only things about the AppleTV that we haven't seen already. I was lucky enough to get one early. Biggest surprise? No cables in the box. Personally I cancelled my AppleTV order after I purchased my Sony Bravia 52" HDTV since I now have my MacMini right in my media cabinet which my tv stands on.. I guess you can say a true AppleTV experience..
