"Comet's on Cupid, Donner's on Vixen."
"I will never ease up. I want to see a result before my death," said the 71-year-old former film star. Bardot played the lead prosecutor during Monday's mock court, which had no legal recognition. The court "ordered" Canada to halt the hunt and urged other countries to boycott Canada.
Animal rights activists say that baby seals are clubbed to death and often skinned alive, but sealers and government officials who monitor the hunt insist the pups die instantly, under strict guidelines.

A "Big Noise" heard by European Union
BRUSSELS, Belgium—Colin Firth presented the European Union with a "Make Trade Fair" petition with more than 10 million signatures collected by Oxfam International, a group that lobbies for fairer trade.
The petition, presented Monday to EU Trade Commission, urges the EU to consider the world's poor at a World Trade Organization ministerial meeting in Hong Kong this month. Dubbed the "Big Noise", it was signed by people in more than 200 countries, more than 80 percent of them from the developing world.
"We offer this as a counter to the corporate voices of opportunism," he said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2005: Your focus will be on the quality of your life this year. Home, security and drawing more happiness will be high priorities. Taking frequent timeouts will be very helpful as you decide on your priorities. You could make some tough decisions about what you want to keep and what you want to let go of your life. Act on these decisions, as you will begin a whole new life cycle your next birthday year. If you are single, you might not meet the right person until this new beginning, though you could grow a lot within a bond during this year. If you are attached, spending quality time with your sweetie can heat up your love life and add to the existing glue between you. PISCES can be an anchor.
