Congratulations Ron. The chapter is in great hands! It was nice to see you and Jef at the Spring Show.

They also own Cannon

So, after all that, it appears that 4 feet 8.5 inches is still the approximate width of two horses a$$es.............

I agree too that they are probably going to end up in bankruptcy protection. Where did the $6-7/hour come from? I was under the impression that the only thing they got was a freeze on wages and pensions until 2012. If there was some concession, I must have missed it.

Providing incentives to the consumer may make them buy, but it will be short term stimulation. The same fundamental problems will exist with the automakers.

Sad news Bernie, but rest well knowing you were there for him when he needed you the most.

I'm with Chris. Some of the things I did in my teens give me chills when I think about them now. At the time you know you are doing something really stupid but never really believe that you, or someone else, will suffer the consequences.

OK, what the heck is "monitization".......you tryin' to confuze us..?

No thoughts really.... Antropov to Rangers for 2nd round pick, Domenic Moore to Sabres, again for 2nd round pick. As you said Toskala on IR. Gerber to Toronto off waivers, and defenseman ?? off waivers, supposed to be tough guy.

How about them???? Great times weren't they!

Steel is our business as they say....I am surrounded by it day to day Can't do much for you from the 50's without looking up the data. I was only a gleam in my Daddy's eye until 1953... What I can tell you is between the US and the Brit's they controlled a giant share.

Great story Rick thanks for sharing. I could have given you the 35 pounds free of charge and we both would have benefited! Nice to hear that things are moving along for you, we missed you.

Thanks guys. I don't think we say that often enough. Welcome back Rick!

I hate to burst your bubble chukkk, but US Steel doesn't control the steel market. At best, they are reacting to Global market forces. The top 10 steel producers in the world have either Indian, Chinese, Korean or Japanese majority ownership. The rest of the top 20 with the exception of 2, (US Steel and Nucore), are Chinese, Russian, Brazilian, German, Indian and Pakistani. The total Global Steel output is 1.3 Billion tonnes, China produces almost 40% of this!!! India will probably be number 2 in terms of output by 2015. One thing that I agree with you on is that this downturn is different than anything most of us have seen in our lifetimes. We will get through it, but it will take much longer than we think it will.

Belated Happy Birthday....

That's great Simon. Cherish those times that you can spend together. I know very well how much I missed my parents when they were in the UK and I was here.

Thank you so much for posting that Peter. Thank you to all of the volunteers and the Town of Oakville.

Well done and congrat's. Looks like Mom and Son are doing well.

Lakair weekend is the 27th, 28th weekend of June. some stay for a week some just for the weekend. Pike tournament on the Saturday, lots of prizes and usually a fish fry. I would suggest you book your cottage or campsite soon at as they are going fast. www.lakair.com

Sounds like a great day Cliff, wish I had been there. Looking forward to fishing with you this Spring.

PM me your e-mail address and I will get you some info.

Congratulations on the new addition. Your lives have just changed forever, for the better. Enjoy and cherish each and every day as they grow way too quickly. It was 33 years ago for me and it seems like last week!

Sincere heartfelt condolences to you and your family Jaques. My Dad too battled with courage and dignity to the end. It is not at all selfish in any way to want to see his suffering end. He is now at peace. J...

Great job Tracy, reminds me a little of Scuttlebutt Lodge..... That's a good thing by the way! Too bad I let my age out of the bag!

Naaaa Roy, that'll never happen. Just giving you guys a false sense of security, that's all. Just wait 'till you're not looking!
