New address for 49th Congress on Twitter

If you had been following the 2010 election campaign on Twitter, note that the name of Patria's 49th Congress Twitter feed has been changed. Patriavotes2010 is now twitter.com/Patria49thC

Left unanswered: Will we still be using Twitter, Facebook and Blogspot for the 2014 election? Or in about three years time will they go the way of MySpace, to say nothing of Geocities?

Beavers beat Barons for Kamala Cup

The Arboria Beavers are the champions of the Patrienish Hockey League (PHL) for 2010-11. The Beavers won the Kamala Cup (Patria's Stanley Cup) - their fourth since 2003 - by beating the Lazuria Black Barons 4 games to 2. As for the Castoropolis Centurions, they further solidified their claim of being the Toronto Maple Leafs of the PHL by finishing dead freakin' last and out of the playoffs for the sixth straight season.
