Back on the topic of elections, tho' this one in a different country. Indian authorities say about 969 million people have registered to vote in the 44-day general election, creating a massive electorate of about 12 per cent of the global population for the biggest election in history. Once upon...

I liked the Phonak for it's ability of speech and hearing with phone calls. The Signia works with only the hearing part of phone calls, however it came out on top with it's auditory capability - a greater number of sampling/tuning channels, six different manual programs if I wanted to overide...

One possible approach is to allow him to inspect the bike and both agree on a price, then complete the transaction with a bank draft for you and a letter of sale for him. An option would be for you to wait at TH while he goes to a bank to get the draft. After that, visit Service Ontario to...

Caveat: hearing loss and hearing aid preferences are strictly individual choice. I had tried the Oticon and Phonak before settling on the Signia. The Signia is not as BT capable, but for me it's hearing restoration was superior. The newly extended hearing range did initially cause sensory...

Could it be due to the over-torquing of the axle nuts?

http://www.uniquetrim.com/ (He was the former Service Manager at a now-closed motorcycle dealership) I have used Potzy and Uniquetrim. For me the seat by Uniquetrim was better (edit: more comfortable)- but then each one's butt is unique! In terms of cost, not much difference between both...

"When you say fitting ....are you referring to software tweaking or sound contouring to patch the deficits?" ... It is both. All depends on the individual hearing deficit and whatever device works best, is the best!

$500 per device in Ontario regardless of age. IMO the adage "You get what you pay for" applies here. The "cheap" are basically audio amplification devices. The $$$ have more channels to sample the auditory input, custom programs to attune to the environment (concert hall, meeting room etc)...

RIP Rider. Condolences to the Family.

Switched to tankless a year ago, absolutely no problem with hot water supply i.e. it is almost instantaneous and multiple use does not effect the temperature level. Caveat: depends on the type of tankless, the common adage "you get what you pay for" applies. The company I used had no problems...

Test rode a Ducati GT-1000 when GP Bikes was operating out of the strip mall in Ajax. Always glad to see a bike shop doing well and Jerry has expanded his business vs. others shuttering down!

CVT? .... ugh! Had a Civic 1.5T with the CVT, liked the car and hated the CVT (even after six years of ownership). Two major recalls, the most recent being the potential of fuel pump failure and a couple of TSBs that if you didn't ask for, you wouldn't get.

The cars have a similar recall, apparently the plastic impeller of the fuel pump is made of sub-standard material that can later swell up and lock. The fuel pump is from an external supplier that provides the component to other car manufacturers too.

Honorary Research Fellow Dr Daniel Natusch from the School of Natural Sciences, found pythons convert feed into weight gain remarkably efficiently compared to conventional livestock such as chickens and cattle. "In terms of food and protein conversion ratios, pythons outperform all mainstream...
