Thanks WordPress.com
I had setup blogs on other platforms, but have stayed with WordPress.com.
I recall when this blog was first started. Basically I had tried a new theme, more or less each day, over the course of a few weeks. One day I tried the Blaskan theme. Then said nah. Then came back to it. Then said nah again. Then started to work with it and have grown to really appreciate it.
WordPress.com provides “an amazing feature rich platform“.
My sincere gratitude is being extended to WordPress.com for hosting this blog.
I hope that Uniquely Toronto will continue to grow and serve its world-wide audience…

Human Cloning Questions: Will your Human Clone actually have a Soul?
There are people who actually remember their birth.
I believe that young children will have birth memories, which do not pass the 3 years of age memory gap and which then become part of the fog of infantile amnesia.
Apparently they (or their Human Soul) enters the body (Ensoulment) at the time of Birth.
That brings up the question: Will your Human Clone have a Soul?
Another question could be: Can a Human Soul be shared between two individual human bodies?
If your Soul is inside your body, can it also dwell inside your Clone’s body at the same time?
Some believe that animals have no Soul.
The Dogs which I have been fortunate to have shared parts of my life with, I believe definitely had a Soul. In fact, their Souls were probably way better than my Soul.
Our Dogs would never hold “a grudge”. We could shoo them off the couch when we had guests and the dogs would continue to love and care for us, as if nothing had happened.
As for me, I am quite capable of holding “a grudge” and can make people well aware of that fact. Eventually the grudge which I hold will fade, but it takes time – sometimes a very long time….
Our Dogs on the other hand, would always practice instantaneous “Forgiveness and Love“.
I mention family pets, because animals have been cloned. If I am correct and animals do have Souls, then where did the Cloned animals get their Souls from? Was their Soul somehow shared?
It was announced in the news (long ago) that a Human Embryo had been cloned. Such an Embryo was inside a petri dish and not inside a Human Mother. In effect it was already “born” into this world.
If it is true that the Soul enters the body at the time of Human Birth, then did that Cloned Human Embryo already have a Soul?

Human Cloning Questions: What happens if your Wife falls in Love with your Human Clone?
What happens if your Wife falls in Love with your Human Clone?
It could easily happen.
Your Clone will be young and vigorous, while you will be “just OLD”.
Could your Wife divorce you and then marry your Clone?
In such a case her Lawyer could argue that your Wife had “not” been “cheating” on you?
Your Wife’s extramarital affair with your Clone, is in reality “not” an extramarital affair, is it?
Your Wife moving in with your Clone, could also work for your kids. They would still have the same Dad, sort of.
Actually your wife might not need to get a divorce, since she would in effect remain married to you, You and your “younger” Clone, are in reality the very same person.
Her Lawyer could argue that your Wife should continue to have full access to your Martial Home and also to all your personal and mutual assets.
At least your Clone and your Wife would be happy.
I wonder how you might feel, if they locked you out of your own home by changing the locks on all the doors???

Human Cloning Questions: If your clone decided to kill you, would your clone be committing suicide?
You have yourself cloned.
A couple of decades later, your clone decides that the world that it finds itself in, world be a better place if you were no longer in it. So it decides to commit Suicide, by killing you.
Suicide is not a criminal act.
Huh?
People get charged with committing a crime, so that they can be punished by the legal establishment created by society. If someone commits suicide, they become “dead”. How does society punish a dead body?
So your human clone should be able to commit Suicide, by killing you and not have any legal worries…

Pope Francis year end Vespers Homily asked each of us to end the year, and in fact each day, with an examination of conscience.
Pope Francis ended 2014 with the celebration of First Vespers for the Octave of Christmas.
In his Homily, Pop Francis spoke about Time and it’s meaning and most of all it’s temporality.
He reminded us “We are all born, and we will all someday die.”.
He asked each of us to “to end the year, and in fact each day, with an examination of conscience. This devout practice leads us to thank God for the blessings and graces we have received, and to ask forgiveness for our weaknesses and sins.”

New Year’s Eve celebration at Nathan Philips Square in Toronto
New Year’s Eve brings back fond memories of years past.
I fondly remember one year, when it started to snow in the later afternoon. Some friends and I planned to go to Nathan Philips Square to bring in the New Year. The temperature was just below freezing and no wind. The light blanket of snow added to the atmosphere.
Of course we all had plenty of alcohol in our bloodstream, you know for its antifreeze effect.
All of us piled onto the Toronto Subway and headed downtown. Everyone was cheerful and happy on the subway. That was quite the contrast from the normal feeling you get when folks get packed like sardines trying to get home from of day of work in the downtown core.
When we got to Bloor and Yonge, a decision was made to get off the subway and walk down Yonge St to Nathan Philips Square (Toronto’s previous City Hall).
That turned out to be the Best move that we could have made.
All the way down Yonge St people were wishing each other “Happy New Year”. Met some old friends on our treck. Also made some new ones. That night became a special memory.
The tradition of bringing in the New Year at Nathan Philips Square continues.
It all starts at 8PM on New Year’s Eve. You will be able to Ice Skate there till around 10PM. Skate rentals are available at the Square.
The concerts are scheduled to start at 10PM.
You’ll see performances by
and the indie rock band Zeus
Toronto’s new Mayor John Tory will count down to the New Year.
The evening celebration will close with an Explosive Performance from Circus Orange with fireworks.
It will be a fun way to close 2014 and usher in 2015…
Below is a video sampler of the 2012 celebration at Nathan Philips Square:

WireLurker Malware targeting Apple IOS and OSX products
If you use an Apple IOS or OSX device (phone, tablet, notebook and desktop) you might want to check out my post about WireLurker.
Apple users sometimes are smug about not needing any security software. Yes, Apple products have been highly secure.
As the number of Apple products being purchased keeps growing, Apple products are also becoming targets for those who create Viruses and Malware and other interesting code.
Back in 2012 “Flashback” victimized about 700,000 Macs. WireLurker and future variants of it could have the potential to do the same.
Staying informed can help keep you and your Apple IOS and OSX gear from falling victim to such attacks.

Awesome Christmas Lights Display in Sparks, Nevada
This Christmas Lights Show is located at 5555 Junction Peak Drive, in Sparks, Nevada (off of Sparks Blvd. & Ion Dr).
Video is courtesy of the djlogic937 YouTube channel
Compared to other Christmas Lights Displays, this one only uses under 18,000 lights. Tons of time was taken creating a custom sound mix and then syncing the Christmas Lights to the music. The result is true Eye Candy!!!
This show runs during the following schedule: 5:30pm, 6:00pm, 6:30pm, 7:00pm, 7:30pm, 8:00pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm, 9:30pm, 10:00pm. Last Show date will be December 31 2014.
