Before you go and buy a used car, have a look at your monthly payment. You may find that with all the zero percent financing offers on new vehicles, you can be driving a new car with full warranty for the same monthly payment as buying someone else's headache (ie: used car.) Used car financing...

As a former first aid/CPR instructor, and having performed first aid at a few MVAs - the advice above is top notch. However, keep in mind that you cannot do what you are not trained to do, or you can open that legal liability can of worms. The single most important thing you can do to ensure...

I had a Suzuki 550 that gave me the occasional amount of grief as you are describing. It was the main fuse... had a crack in it that could barely be seen. Load test your battery... if it load tests okay, then start simple (like the main fuse) and then look for more complicated issues.

Hmmmm..... interesting! Maybe in your case, a declined vote would be the best thing then (if for no other reason than it will result in one less vote for the architect of the "common sense revolution" lo those many years ago.) I'm just kidding - but it does illustrate the uselessness of the...

The other side to the voting story is to vote against the party whose platform you dislike the most - you cast your vote in favour of the party who is most likely to prevail over the party you dislike. At least you will be standing up for something. It seems to me that the idea of declining...

Bravo, Baggsy! That is one of the most sensible solutions I have seen on this thread! Gotta hold those politicians' feet to the fire to make sure they are aware of the wishes of those they represent. BTW... to all participants in this thread.... GREAT DISCUSSION! Obviously there are a number...

Just saw this on sale at Futureshop.... looks like a good deal and substantially less $$ than the Acer. If you are getting a second screen, it doesnt matter much that the laptop has a smaller screen http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/id/10176486.aspx?CMP=NLC-ALL-110902 Cheap monitors to...

Netflix rocks! Well worth the $8/month. The movies might not be just out of the theatres, but there is a large selection of "film festival" type movies, European movies and older movies. Lots of good TV series too. I have a list of movies to watch that is about 50 titles long.... will get...

Agreed.... although if you look at the numbers for the past 15 or so years, the percentages haven't changed much. Political strategists are indeed polarizing issues because they are influencing a Hollywood driven world. It is a terrible way to run a country. We are all in this together and...

McGuinty has got to go? What would you have done differently? Does being a fiscal conservative mean that you agree with their policies of disproportionately huge tax cuts for the wealthy while all the rest of society sinks? Do you agree with the policies of selling off public assets to pay...

Not sure what you mean by the statement "polarization is used to cull voters." The political strategists have deliberately polarized politics to the point where there is great animosity among the electorate and amongst the politicians themselves. Political policies have become less caring as...

The political system will never change if you try this approach and register your "non" vote. Whomever wins doesn't care one bit that you are disenfranchised with the system. They won... bwahahahahaha! (and you did NOTHING to stop them!) A better approach might be to pick a party with which...

You might want to give a second look to this all in one on sale this week at Futureshop.. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...a4ae00026cen02 You could buy this and an inexpensive netbook for travelling if you needed it and you would be just slightly over $1K .

Almost all (99.999%) laptops today come with at least one headphone jack for audio out (which you can use to hook into your home stereo) and microphone input (which you can use to record your old cassettes and LPs onto the computer and convert them to MP3s.) I believe most also come with...

Your current keyboard/mouse will work just fine. That computer looks pretty decent and I think that acer puts HDMI ports on almost all of their computers. This will make it much easier to hook up a second monitor (digital signal... automatic setup, great picture.) Also, the 17" screen on the...

Why not just buy a can of black spray paint and do them yourself? Alternatives would be black nail polish or model paint. You can then touch up any paint you knocked off after you install your plate.

You might want to consider an all-in-one computer...... I was pretty impressed with this one at Futureshop last week (23" touchscreen!) for $800...

Try GP Bikes in Whitby... they have helmets from nearly every popular manufacturer, although I don't recall seeing any European brands there lately (but then again, I haven't been looking for them.) Good for you for supporting the local businesses rather than buying from the big US stores off...

A newbie with Dainese gear? Wow! As far as brands go, I would say that you should just buy what fits properly from an established good brand (Icon, Tour Master and Joe Rocket come to mind for mid-priced gear.) The other option is to buy underwear type armour pants and tops and wear your...

Welcome to the forum! GP Bikes all the way.... they have the hugest selection of riding gear I have ever seen and they are great to deal with! and just down the road is Royal Distributing with another large selection of gear. Of course, once I saw a gal at Haugen's wearing skin tight pink...
