argh ! won't let me read the story, US readers only...

I've not seen any healthcare worker in a 'hazmat' suit, they're all wearing standard tyvek coveralls and infection gowns designed to prevent transmission of infections. A 'hazmat' suit would mean working with something that is most likely extremely airborne and contact spread and possibly more virulent. Canadian healthcare workers (GlobalMedic for example) would most likely wear coveralls, face mask and face shield (for splatter protection). Hands and feet would be covered as well. The nurses in Dallas probably got infected in the disrobing stage. afaik, a hazmat suit would basically mean being hermetically sealed and taking a full shower to decontaminate in a contained environment before disrobing. It would also mean, imo, that they're dealing with something far more riskier.

According to everything I've read, ebola is a direct transmission infectious disease. there has to be direct contact with fluids. It's not an airborne transmitted disease, again according to those who know (fingers crossed). As long as healthcare workers follow proper protocol, there should be no risk of ebola. and if you want to scare yourself stupid, watch Contagion. VERY creepy movie and from what I've been told by first line healthcare workers who deal with infectious diseases in third world countries, it's very realistic. Very. If you're spooked now by ebola, this will make it worse.

$3.19 US in Ohio yesterday. wish I had a tanker to fill up and bring back lol

you can probably get a propane shop to make up an adapter or get one of those Coleman distribution posts. kinda tall but lets you attach several items to one tank

Cabelas has a bunch of dehydrators. Iwas thinking of getting a new one that had drawer type trays vs stacking round trays.

First order of business is the bar should be clamped down tight for sharpening. A guide is indispensable for getting the correct angle. I find a bit of an upward movement helps and to make sure you're consistent with the number of strokes so that all cutters get the same amount of shave. I use the proper size file and a guide but also have a Timberline sharpener that I also use. Also, it may be a drive but I'd take Big Cliff up on his offer, nothing beats watching someone sharpening in front of you.

love dehydrated apple rings. last time we dried them ,we soaked them in vinegar (?) I think so they wouldn't go brown. great snacking !

hell then, get thee to B&H !

Be very cautious buying new cameras from outside of Canada. Most companies (Nikon definitely) will not honour any warranty for gear that was not purchased thru a Canadian dealer. Not a problem if you don't mind shipping it back to wherever you bought it. Yeah, you save a few bucks but that could end up costing you more if you wind up needing warranty work done.

If one thing you want is the ability to better control depth of field, then you need to start with lens choice. Faster lenses (f2 or 2.8 for example vs 5.6 etc) coupled with high shutter speed will give you the look you want. Go to a faster lens and it gets better. As well, imo, full frame sensor cameras work best for this although some the crop sensor cameras will work. Lastly, I think you're probably going to have to up your budget if this is the look you want. The kit lens is going to be hard pressed to give you that visual presentation. Can be done if you know how to exploit your camera's feature set

got my fingers crossed for Diane and good thing they caught it early. thinking of you and diane and your upcoming 48th !

report her and her dogs, unfortunately her lack of control will be a downside for the dogs imo. no idea why she hasn't muzzled the attacker and I would have done the same...a swift hard kick. sorry but if it's attacking my dog or anyone with me, all bets are off and the dog pays for owner's problems. I've owned dogs most of my early life so that laying the boots to a dog would be tough but necessary. again, report her as someone's dog is going to ket mauled if she's not dealt with by by law officers. -sorry, didn't read the full thread before posting maybe give the other dog owners a heads up as well so they can make sure they're in full compliance.

He planted a beacon to track you to your secret lakes Seriously though, if he was indeed from the MTO, I would have let him have at the truck it as well. I'd rather know if there were issues while it was parked in my driveway vs on the road, esp if it was a serious safety issue.

sweet, sweet mercy you hammered them ! seeing auroral activity was icing on the cake, seeing them should be on everyone's bucket list.

epic trip and report ! but tell me you have photos of the Timmy's redhead. please )

I foresee new videos from behind the blind or up in stands

that's great news about the ct scans and other tests and absolutely love the time lapse of the your drive across this amazing country (well maybe except for all that flatland stuff ha ha).

I believe Bushart was getting at the relativity of the offence to put it into perspective. It's a wide gap but I understand what he's getting at.

I always watch the radar at Intellicast.com

skies just got real dark and wind is up and lots of thunder in Toronto now.

and sewing anything onto the pfd (patch etc) will render it illegal as well. Wanted to mod a whitewater pfd and found out that wasn't a good idea.

If it's late Sept, I'd suggest looking at other areas well, for the fishing but just as importantly for the scenery. The West Arm is island studded with many pockets to explore. Also Wolseley Bay on the French is much more intimate, also beautiful waters.

are those props marks on the rock leading to the marine teeter totter ?

I would also go south on Sucker Creek, under 64 and head east. Some good waters there and further east past Memquisit. Warren Bay can blow up with strong winds so keep an eye on the weather. and photos, lots of them please
