Hello all, just curious if anyone has used JB Weld Marine weld to patch a small hole on an aluminum boat. Advice, experiences, good or bad would be appreciated. Thanks all

Sens have about the same identity as the Leafs right now, young hard working team, both surprisingly higher in the standing than people thought they would be. Sens much younger on D but much deeper in prospects there. Kessel and Spezza largely interchangeable although Spezza is better in his own end (now, not always and certainly not when he was Kessel's age) Spezza more consistent in putting up points historically. Both teams have decent goaltending. There really is very little difference in the two teams although the Sens have better prospects coming along. The biggest difference being the Sens are in the first year of a big rebuild and the Leafs are in the 6-7th year of a big rebuild.

I'm a die hard Sens fan living in Toronto but happy the Leafs are doing well and equally happy the Sens are rolling pretty well even though they are in the first year of a massive rebuild and icing 8 rookies some nights. Leafs took way way longer than they should have for a rebuild but seem to be in a good position finally. The battle of Ontario has actually become fun to watch again. Also great to see the Oilers rolling, far and away the most enjoyable team to watch in the league this year.

All good reasons to wear sunglasses when fishing, always. Even when your night fishing, wear clear glasses. I also add a cape so I can pretend I am a super hero.

The ACLU isn't against Christmas or religion. They are against the inclusion of one religion at the expense of others in public policy and institutions. I am sure they will be warmed by the Christmas cards given they have no issue with Christmas, and presents, and hanging shiny things on trees and a magical fat man in a red suit who gets pulled around the world by reindeer, one of whom has an electric nose: just like it happened in the bible.

Are people really surprised by the leaves dropping back? Look at their line up. They have improved on defence (although their d-core is overrated) and have improved in net but their top six is the weakest top six in the NHL. Kessel is a good goal scorer but is a bit of a one-trick pony. Great speed, great release, won't go near a corner and won't plant in front of the net. Which is fine, he is what he is - but did people really expect Macarther to keep the pace he set, or Brent. Outside of Kessel their isn't a single top six player on the Leafs who would make the top six on just about every other team in the league. Their #1 centre is about 50 games into his career and while serviceable, sure as heck isn't a #1 centre in the NHL. They are a bottom 5 team and will finish pretty much where they finished last year, which would be fine for Leaf fans if they were in the process of rebuilding correctly - see Chicago, Pittsburgh, Edmonton who although a work in progress will next year have Eberle, Hall, Paajarvi-Svensson, likely another top five pick this year along with a handful of good third and fourth year players.The difference between the Leafs and the Oilers is that the Oilers have some light at the end of the tunnel they are in.

Not purely a Habs fan ( I follow the Sens) but grew up in a house full of them and am still surrounded by them so I follow the team pretty closely by proxy and all I will say is this, win or lose tonight, it is going to be a long season for the Habs and they won't be anywhere near the playoffs. Beyond that, it will be a miracle if price finishes the season there.

Over the course of the 8 years I have owned my cottage I have found around 10 lures - one snagged on the swimming ladder attached to the dock, most snagged on the rocks in the shallow swimming area, a husky jerk snagged on the water line when I was taking it out for the winter, a tube jig inside the boat caught on the tow rope we use for skiing and tubing. I have heard my boat hit a couple of times from errant casts. Last weekend I actually watched a guy hit my kicker motor on my fishing boat with a spinner. I have been on my dock with my family and watched a guy trolling by about 15 feet in front of the dock and flick a cigarette into the water. I have also found various pop cans, beer bottles, etc, floating around but this is as much an issue with pleasure boaters than it is with fishermen (probably more. Although I have watched Styrofoam worm containers fly out of boats and the people just ignoring them and leaving them in the water. I have seen my neighbors 5 year old being carted off to the hospital with a barbed hook deep in her foot. My friend across the lake whose property is a weedy bay that no one but a fisherman would ever be in actually came up one weekend to find someone had come ashore and taken a crap near his dock. Now, having said all of this, I fish a ton. I rarely fish docks since, at least on the handful of lakes I regularly fish, I find them less productive. I realize most fishermen are conscientious and respectful. I don't feel I have more right to the water than those who are boating there. I do however have a different view of etiquette based on experience. Look at it this way, you don't own the street in front of your house and it is perfectly legal for people to park there. However, if they park there and start throwing a baseball which occasionally hits your car, start chucking cigarette butts on the ground, relieve themselves on the edge of your driveway,(yes I have seen a guy take a leak a few feet away from my dock) and toss litter onto your lawn, you are probably going to be upset and would prefer people didn't do that, in fact, just didn't park there at all, even though it is their right.

Have spent the last 20 years writing comedy and making TV shows. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Meh, after 25 years of marriage I'm more comfortable on thin ice.

Then you should probably not type racist comments to avoid the confusion.

The thing is Roy, he did go there and rather than sugar coating it why not just say the board doesn't tolerate racists.

I would just like to add that I am a moron. I hope that helps.

Normally, looking past spelling and grammatical errors on forums is the norm given most are typographical errors; and most often don't hamper the opinion being stated. However, when the gist of that opinion is a statement meant to highlight the supremacy of one persons education then it does seem relevant. In short, if you are going to pen a long winded diatribe making fun of and dismissing the academic achievements of other people while glorifying your own, a passing attention to detail is needed.

Many, many great performances topped for me by Clara Hughes. Her story is as amazing as she is - troubled kid, drinking, cutting class, smoking a pack a day turns her life around and becomes the only athlete in history male or female to win multiple medals in both the summer and winter Olympics and like she did last go around, she turned around and donated all of her bonus money for winning a medal to underprivileged kids so they can gain access to sports and experiences otherwise off limits to them because of circumstance. If you get a chance, read up on her life. One of my daughters just finished a huge school report on her so I have learned a lot myself over the dinner table. She truly is a remarkable and humbling person.

Prior to the trade they were in 28th place in a 30 team league. Since the trade they have moved to 29th place in a 30 team league.

Was it a wall mount heater or one of the vented stand alone one akin to a smaller wood stove in appearance. I have heard pros and cones about some of the wall mounted ones. Also not sure about the ones they advertise currently that run off natural gas but don't require venting. Seems odd to me to run something that burns off a fuel yet requires no outside vent.

Hello all In the process of fixing up the basement of a new to me but 100 year old house. House is heated by natural gas/hot water radiators. Currently, no rads in basement. Basement is finished but I would like to add a heating source. I have looked at everything from adding a natural gas fireplace, to electric, to infrared, etrc. Just curious if there is anyone who can offer some pro's or cons or suggestions. Thanks.

This is 100% false. Their lack of profit in the early years prior to Melnyk was a combination of two things, terrible management and overly burdening start-up costs and a time when the Canadian dollar was low and all Canadian teams were feeling the impact. Their regional TV contract is no more or less manageable than any other teams. The Sens have always been among the top teams in the league for attendance. I have been to two Leaf games this year and both instances the stands were full of many empty seats, although I am sure a good number of them were sold as is the case in Ottawa. Oh, and for what it's worth, attendance at CFL games in Ottawa was always strong and never the reason why the team struggled. I get you are a Leafs fan and your default position is to slag the Sens but foolish is foolish and making things up is what it is as well.

So these Freedoms you are always talking about, does that only include the freedom for people to do things and say things you agree with or is there room for the idea that maybe other people might not share your opinions despite the fact they may be intelligent, patriotic and good citizens?

That's part of the issue though. My wife and children all take the flu shot. I never have and don't plan on it. For whatever reason, seasonal flu's don't hit me very hard and never have. My son and one of my daughters are the same. My wife and my other daughter get floored by some of the flu bugs so for them it is a smart choice. The flu shot relies a good deal on guess work trying to predict the strain of flu that will be most active and impacting for a given flu season. There is no guarantee they get it right so despite getting a flu shot there is still a chance you will get a bad flu. The H1N1 vaccine is focused on a specific strain that they have isolated. The H1N1 flu is different more so if it continues to mutate. They are two different discussions but too often are lumped together.

Stop using logic. You will hurt peoples brains. I tend to rely on people who are educated in the field as opposed to those who first approach a scientific concern with a political opinion and conspiracy theory. My wife for instance, who has been a health care worker for 20 years in the ICU and infectious disease and has trained for first response duty and protocol many times to handle large scale disaster/pandemics, including HiN1 should it mutate into a more aggressive virus. According to her and the overwhelmingly vast majority of her colleagues H1N1 is real and you are foolish to not get a vaccine. There are always large groups of people who oppose any time of government proposed mass inoculations. There are still many active groups who feel their children should not have to take any vaccinations at all including those that prevent polio and diphtheria. It is astoundingly foolish thinking.

My sympathies as well Handyman. By all accounts he raised a good kid and you did as well so he's still with you to a large degree.

HaHaHaHaha People with accents from other countries aren't as smart as us because they pronounce words differently.
