  1. vpn is overkill if all you want to do is get around geoblocking there are dns services that cost from 1.99 / month to 4.99 / month which 'alter' your ip address to appear as though you are in another country. i use unblock.us which is 4.99, and there are cheaper options now. it lets me watch us, uk, australian netflix, get around all regional blackouts on nhl gamecenter, listen to pandora radio, watch hulu & hulu plus etc.. if you are a cord cutter like us, it's a gift from the gods and easy to justify the extra $5 when you have no cable bill.
  2. just be careful when you put it back on not to over tighten the bolts, it's likely an aluminum housing that you don't want to crack. (7 ft lb is not a lot)
  3. an Over the Air carrier absolutely MUST be the ones with rights to saturday's games in my opinion. I understand CBC will still do it for the time being but going forward?? Roger's expects us to get cable just to watch hockey?
  4. what stupid stupid place to put the thermostat. what happened to up top where it is easy to get at? it's propably the original in there too.
  5. hard to argue with any of the great lakes, a belly full of bullheads and a 4" rapala.
  6. Car went off 109 into the grand river this afternoon. 109/9 still closed. long way down off that bridge.
  7. agree and he's played against tougher opponents to boot.
  8. heat it up (with a lighter) grab it with vice grips and work it off
  9. i understand different strokes for different folks but man.. give me that kinda money and i'd be on an island on LOTW not surrounded by 4-5million people.
  10. yeah. definately bring an auger.
  11. i've not used a terrova to compare but for what its worth the pd i have is propably 10 years old (bought it 2nd hand from someone I know) and I've used it / been around it for the same period of time -- it's been on MY boat for the last 3. as far as I can recall, the foot pedal was replaced once and that's it as far as issues. i dont/never have any problems deploying or pulling it back up. the terrova sounds great on paper but you have to ask yourself if the frills are worth the extra $$$. if this one dies, i am not sure i'd spend the extra, likely go with a pd again. it does everything a tm is supposed to do.
  12. other way around, the leaner the better.
  13. The allegations are nothing more than hearsay, not admissable in court. They were a result police interviews with ex-staffers, used as a basis to obtain a search warrant. ie. reasonable grounds to obtain one. They were not made under oath.
  14. (literally) scratching bottom with deep divers in 18'-22' has worked well for me when the water's in the 40s out there. if you're trolling..
  15. lottery winnings are tax free but capital gains, including those resulting from investments made as a result of those winnings, aren't. there are exemptions, such as gains held in a tfsa which do not get taxed.
  16. I'm tryin' Dan. LOL definately the way to go if you can get in.
  17. video doesn't look like anything other than a pre-wwe match hype up session.. right around the time he arm wrestled hogan brother, in a no holds-barred match. just sayin'
  18. WHat's that mean Bill? 10% avg return/year or 10% return over the last 'few' years. My self directed investments are at about the same clip last 3 years. 10% avg/year It hasn't been all that difficult to post decent returns the last few years, it's when the times are really bad and your advisor can minimize losses or even eek out a win for you that he/she earns their pay.
  19. they're outhitting vancouver badly.. we'll see how canucks feel by period 3
  20. the pop up tents are fine if you don't move around -- just setup and fish from the same spot all day but if you need mobility the flip up style are much better imo.
  21. even before i get to speak to anyone, the endless automated prompts / menus drive me up the wall. 0....0... 0... godammnit.
  22. we're not in the city either. i think someways it would be easier in one of course we can adapt and survive.. did fine last year without power and we'd be fine again this year with just our wood stove and no generator but if i have the means and the option of running my own hydro to make it that much easier, why not?
