Bell and Rogers......they are not good at what they do when it comes to their ISP divisions. They are either wasting a ton of money or making a ton of money with the ISP service. How is it that others can offer a better ISP for 40% less? forrest

Thanks for the heads up! They need to do the responsible thing and replace it with a basic HTML page stating: "site down for repairs". It is irresponsible for them to leave it up in the state it is in. forrest

What PS said...Ubuntu has a live cd that will boot hte PC and run the OS off of the CD. With the latest version you can see your data and copy it to a USB stick or burn to DVD. forrest

Now thats some serious potty knowledge!

Try the original spicy smoke treat....summer sausage (wont fit in your pocket)...mennonites make good stuff.

Its just some dumb kid might have gone through some minds. Youth has its benefits and problems.....many people would trade being taken seriously as a 40 year old for being 14 and a "just a kid". Go with the flow. forrest

I was thinking that you only buy Rapala crankbaits. I make a decent living and and can't afford all the "missing" lures.....I must have a few hundred at this point. 90%+ have not touched the water.....a bit of a waste. It is an arms race gone bad. Whenever I shop I find I do not have enough lures. Whenever I fish I find I have too many lures. If you must get more I think you need some moldy oldies in there to go with that new plastic. forrest

Yes a bit. thank you. What about Full Marine vs Marine Sub forrest is this OT?

I checked out Peacock Lumbers price list (not in Niagara) They sell Mahogany marine grade. "Marine sub" 3/8th 5 ply = $78 (4x8) "full marine, solid core" 1/2 7 ply= $105 (4x8) Whats the difference? Is mahogany better than other woods? forrest

Training as in being obedient to what the store wants them to do or training as in knowledge? From Marcus's story I can't tell either way. 1) It was during the busy Christmas season, employees get borrowed from other departments or hired new for Christmas help. 2) The first employee did the right thing by sending the person over to the 2nd. Maybe it would have been better to walk them over; I was not there. What he did was much better than faking it or guessing. 3) The second employee was going on break. A break they are entitled too. Who knows how long they were on the floor. In my retail experience a lot of guys stayed on the floor way too long and often took breaks hours after they were scheduled. Management started enforcing people leaving the floor for breaks. 4) This last guy may have had less of a clue about the department (cashier, christmas help?) and unknowningly sent them back to the first guy. He assumed that all BPS employees are experts in the departments they stand in. Maybe the blame lies with the management, Christmas or a busy store. There is not enough info to reach a conclusion on what happened. forrest

huh? Wage paid has little to do with good work attitude or brains. Respect and good work attitude go a lot further than money when it comes to people doing their job well. I am guessing you are trying to be offensive. forrest

Hard to comment because it is unkown who gave it to you. Some people buy gift X just for the sake of buying a gift. Sometimes they do the best they can. Fishing is hard to buy for unless you leave lots of clues. My mom bought me a fly fishng rod once. It was not cheap, she paid too much and I used it only a few times because it did not suit my application. Last year she got me something for several hundred dollars....its sitting in the closet unopened...what a waste. I think she would feel better if I was able to exchange it for something else. Exchange it for something that will work for you fishing related.....most people could appreciate that. forrest

Thats some scary weather...waves, wind and wice. I mean ice. "normally we head to the pier that is underwater over there....its just ankle deep in water" Is there softwater fishing all year round?

Try Irfanview.....its a viewer that has resizing capabilities. or a full blown graphics program Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/windows/ I don't know if it works with vista. There is a computer section under "extra resources". for rest

I have had it a few times.......it was goooooooood.

Evolution of that post you are referring too: 1995: I agree with this statement 2000: word 2005: agreed 2008: THIS 2009: T 2015: ka pow pow

Yes, we could all just stop fishing altogether too. That way all the fish that currently die after release won't die. forrest

How about fishing lodges? They would have an interest in leaving big fish in the water. forrest

It is not to wonder why....call MNR and they might give you the reason. Fish population could be hurting and you don't know it. A lot of meat is a relative term. I have done well with smaller pike. If I caught a fat 36 inch pike I would not know what to do with it so back it would go. forrest

Extract the zip file and you will end up with file ending in ISO. The ISO file is a compiled DVD image, Open your DVD burning software and from the menu find the option to burn an image or open image file. Then burn. You will end up with a DVD that has many files on it including instruction files. With Regards, forrest

Nice post, good fish! thanks for posting.

You are talking about over harvesting, correct? I have read about attempted eradication of Carp and Pike in water systems. Things like poisoning the whole system and then restocking have taken place only to have the unwanted fish return in big numbers. I guess people keep quite when things go as planned. forrest

I think he was joking.....no thief calling....I bet its the egg nog.

haha I think that stuff is a board members and was posted in the classifieds. From what I saw Hirk's did not have trolling motors either.

Some dramatic and questionable tactics have been used to eradicate fish before. Has any fish ever been successfully eradicated? forrest
