I bought an Acer 2 years ago for $499 at Best Buy, and its been great.. no issues. It's fast and has bunch of ram and 80 Gig HD, Big Video card and windows Vista/ MS office. If you wanna budget Laptop can't beat Acer. But if your willing to spend the big bucks (Over $1000) you can get a bit more performance and reliability. But in my opinion, if your not a huge Gamer or tech geek then the budget buy is where it's at. Gaming Laptops can run into the 4-5000 range.

It depends on a couple things, the first of course is what type of diabetes? Is it Diabetes Insipidus or Mellitus? They are both different and require different levels of treatment. Here is a link to Wikipedia explaining the differences (in the first 3 paragraphs) Diabetes Insipidus . My opinion is that you need more blood chemistry testing and a urinalysis... at least. I would also go for a second opinion.. as that can never be a bad idea. My Father is the Western Regional Manager for Medtronic Minimed, which specializes in the education and sales of Insulin Pumps. IF you want his contact info or anything like that just shoot me a PM. (he can probably put you in contact with some people who are "experts" in the field of Diabetes)

forecast calls for +5 and +6 Sat and Sunday Weather Network Hope I didn't just jinx the forecast! Drew

I like the vest/ chest pack combo. Good for long and short days on the water. I use this LL bean pack, its great cause it has a lumbar support for the long days and a hydration bladder. But on the short days i take out the bladder and it weighs nothing. link: Rapid River Pack

Same link as last time for the game online: http://atdhe.net/

Well, you could purchase a tent trailer and then just cover it with a rain tarp so the sun won't dmg it. Or........ you could purchase a Aliner trailer, all the convenience of a tent trailer but the protection of a hard shell trailer. See pic: They weight like 1500lbs and are about 15' long. If you went this route, you could at least tow it different locations if you want

I think Iggy will whip Olli into shape, If Olli becomes a Cancer in the room Regher, Iggy and Phaneuf will straighten him out. Leopold is an OK addition, but i don't think hes the "puck moving defensemen" Calgary thinks he is.

Lombardi has world class speed but has hands made of stone. He is a little like Oleg Sapriken (wrong spelling), but is a bit better defensively.

Or a tough version of Matthew Lombardi = Curtis Glencross

Matthew Lombardi = Dustin Boyd. Problem Solved

Well, looks like were in a good position to make a run at the Cup now. RED MILE TIME!

great shots man!

Its any vehicle over 12 years. Watch for Cracks in the Windshield that interfere with the drivers view, brakes are a big one (worn rotors/ pads), and i would guess no leaks in the exhaust system. Obviously this isn't everything, but easy things to watch out for. orrrrrrrr, you could just slip the mechanic $100 bucks....lol

Just be careful in a belly boat!

I first started fly fishing when I was going to school in Portland, OR. We used to hit up all the "named" rivers in the area, but to be honest i had no idea what i was doing. I finally thought i had caught a Steelhead and smacked it on the head as soon as i got it to shore (for Proof!), only to be told by my more knowledgeable fishing buddies that it was just a big Rainbow trout, and the trout season was closed. from that point on they named me "POACHER"....... lol oooooo, the shame!

Come on now, Isn't there a Timmies on the nearest corner??? RRRRRRRoll up the rim to Win!

Kelowna from a far looks like it would be a great place to live, but it seems more like a retirement community. And I recall many a trips through there in the summer time when the traffic was horrendous! Penticton would be a better option, has anyone ever lived near Invermere or Windermere, BC?

I was just talking with my wife the other day about potentially moving from Calgary and getting away from all the hustle and bustle of the big city. Then we started to brainstorm some cool places to live throughout Canada (like: Halifax, Kelowna, Montreal..etc). So my question is: If you could live anywhere in Canada, and employment or cost of living weren't that big of an issue (not that it isn't), then where would you live???

I'm with both of you. I'd much rather listen to Peter Lobardious on Sportsnet then the HNIC guys. Even though Lobardious says the names: Camallariiiiiiieeeee, Lombardiiiiiiiiiiieee, Bertuzziiiieeeeee, Pardyyyyyyyyyyyyy, and to top it off....... Giiiiiiiiiordano!

The Watermaster ones look awesome. the Bottom is open like a pontoon boat, but u can get casting platform. They only weigh like 23lbs and fold into a backpack, and they are rated for 500lbs. They have 3 models, the grizzly, the Kodiak and a 2 maner. the cheapest is like $1200. It would be fun to take one of these down an Alaskan wilderness river for a week.

Then why aren't the Scot's any good at it? LOL

Damn, Rene Bourque may miss the entire rest of the season and possibly the playoff with what they are calling a "high ankle sprain". That sucks. May want to delve in the trade market and pickup a left winger.

If i had to choose how I would go, Fishing with one of my closest family members would be my first choice. Sorry again for your loss. Drew

I forgot to add the photographers name. It's Mike Montana, here is his Website: http://www.artbeat.ab.ca/a_ph_montanam.html

Back in Spring 08 I ventured out to Wedge pond to land a few grayling (unsuccessful I might add). While i was just floating in the middle, waiting for the indie to move, some guy yelled down and asked if he could snap a few photo's from above the pond. He had mentioned (well, yelled) he was a Wildlife Photographer and wouldn't mind a few shots. He had what looked like a billion dollar camera with a huge Zoom lens and an assistant with him, so of course I obliged. So i just Kept on fishing, and smoking what was beautiful No. 1 Cohiba recently brought back from Cuba. As he left, he yelled and said he would leave his Business card on my car and he would Send me the photo's after he developed and sorted through them. Well, about a month or so after i finally e-mailed him i got the photo's. Here are a few shots he took (Not the most flattering poses, and I wish I had a bend in my Rod but hey.... what can you do).
