Paul, It means that the post will get bumped to the top of the tread!! As does TTT (to the top), and many other variations... P

Good points Brad!

I heard about this on the radio the other day and finally looked into it... http://wishlist.thedi.ca/ I think many of us are in a pretty good state (financially, etc.) and there are many others that are not (as we all know). Not getting into a debate on other peoples specific situations, whys/why nots, haves/have nots, etc. and I am aware that there are many deserving charities out there that can use our support... If you haven't yet contributed to a (deserving) charity this season, this is the one Deb and I have decided to support this year (or at least one person on their list) and I ask that others on here follow suit. Cheers and Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays) Peter (and Deb) P.S. I especially think that gifts that help people seek/maintain employment, makes a perfect gift (work boots/clothes for example), but that is just my opinion...

Don, I think if you are with Shaw you can block any particular number... It is also referred to as Selective Call Rejection Service. 1. Dial *60 2. Dial 3 to turn it on 3. Push # to add a number 4. Dial the 10 digit number 5. Press # after you dialed the number and it will be added to your list Repeat steps 3 to 5 to add more numbers, you can add up to 32 numbers P

Exactly!

Nope, I meant I was SOLD boots that were too big b/c of the reco of the staff - they said the boots were the right size for me when in fact, they were not (if you read my initial post, they seemed to fit well out of the box and with moldable liners, they should fit tight out of the box - as was previously stated by Mr. Vhawk12)!! <--poke--<

Yup, that's what I've (just) learned, as well!!

So I went to see the folks at "Lou's Skiing Performance Centre". The conclusion... I was sold boots that were too big for me... MEC staff at their best!!

Just a question (not necessarily directed at you), but how is the circumstance you describe actually handled in BC (and/or Montana for that matter)? P

Ev, Wearing more socks is NOT the answer as it can actually make feet colder with the new style of boots (from what I've been told)... P

Also "Lou's" have been reco'd!

Dynafit Alpine Touring boots... And don't say MEC as they screwed them up in 1st place (their heater was down so they used the xc ski boot heater and it didin't get them hot enough)... Our family exclusively dealt with Ski Celler 25 years ago, so maybe I'll check them out... Thanks, P

Anyone know of a boot fitter in Calgary?! I've been having issues with forming my liners (were great out of the box then I molded [moulded] them and now I'm swimming - no one told me that I didn't have to mold [mould] them!)... So now I need to try and get them back to as close to stock as possible and want someone that has a lot of experience... I've heard Felix Ski Service on Bowness Road is great... Anyone else?! Peter

As far as I know there are still 2 companies operating in Calgary... P

(Fortunately/unfortunately) That's capitalism...

Simple! Econ 101 Supply & demand! Lots of demand, little supply = high price! P

There are probably many issues... One in-particular is for the protection of the resource (as well as protection of the business/industry specific to Alberta and more specifically the Bow)... Case in point... If you are NOT a licensed guide in BC you CANNOT guide on any BC water, where as BC guides, Montana guides, etc. can guide (and profit from the resource - and not pay local/provincial taxes) in Alberta and take revenue away from local (regional) guides... P

Yes the Bow below the weir in Calgary is open all year as are some other rivers in southern alberta (check the regs though)! By the by, you just missed a couple of winter fishing seminars at both Fishtales and Country Pleasures P

Louis Vuitton make one!!

Yes it has happened to me, but not the next day!! P

What's "inzulated"!! LoL P

LoL, yeah I thought that at first, as well, but then read the rest of his post!! P

Clive, I guess you could always put in a sub floor, if you want to take it that far... I've installed both laminate and vinyl but unfortunately not the stuff you are considering... P

That actually sent a shiver down my spine!! I was thinking "spinal injury" for sure!! Yikes!!
