I have used Acoustic Research cables and find them to be good. Compared a composite signal using cheap ones versus this and could see a difference (though minor and could have been because I was looking for it). Lynn, question about HDMI, are you talking HDMI from your cable box to the TV? If so, are you using the audio on the TV or through a receiver? I run composite from PVR to my LCD (Sony XBR4 and all I can say is wow for the picture on that thing!!!!) and then optical for the audio from the PVR to the receiver. This works fine for me, HDMI cables seem to be crazy expensive. I bought a cheap one to run from my upconverting DVD player as i could not stomach paying the $200 price tag for a monster HDMI cable.

I am not sure if they are actually going out of business. Their website says they are just closing the 11th Ave building down and moving all their stuff to the Ribtor Wharehouse in Inglewood.

All very cute! Here are two of Sophie, now almost 4 weeks old.

Just a quick clarification in the case I was misunderstood. I am not against the moderators choosing types of topics and the limits on what they want. That is totally up to them and I do not have a problem with that at all.

I think it is funny when non-legals get into these conversations. What's the difference between going out and reading a review someone posted about a restaurant which said it was the worst food they ever had? Would the restaurant sue them for slander? Not likely. If the consumer of a product or service is not happy, they should be able to write about it. If the moderators choose to not allow that type of posting than that is their decision. To say it is because they are scared of legal action is bull. I for one would like to hear about problems that people have with products or services. If a guide doesn't show and doesn't provide explanation then we should know about it so people can make the decision whether they would want to go through that service provider. Saying the name of a guide who didn't show up and that you will never use them again is not slander/libel or whatever. If the moderators don't want this type of posting on the forum than "moderate" and delete it.

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

Say it isn't so! My company gives me a market adjustment premium to keep me there because of the hot job market. If the hot job market goes away so does the extra cash.

Thanks everyone for the super kind words! Lynn, I really hope to be there next year for another round of dog races. Here is a picture of Sophie at 3 days old.

Over the last couple of months I wrote about my amazing wife with her voyage through pregnancy and our adventures. It is amazing to think that only 3 weeks ago she asked to go fish the Highwood one more time (which I got skunked and she caught a couple of beauties) and this past Saturday she give birth to our beautiful baby girl. In her usual fashion, I have never witnessed such perservation and determination as she battled the labour for 25 hours before asking for the drugs. And that was only because our little one was facing up instead of down and was stuck. I will spare the rest of the story as you can only witness that sort of thing in order to understand it. The doctors made the decision to use forceps instead of the c-section to get her out but she got out safe, sound and healthy. At 1:35am I got to see my new daughter for the first time! Sophie is her name and she arrived weighing 6lbs4oz and 19.5 inches. I can't wait to introduce her to the wonderful outdoors that my wife and I enjoy so much! Perhaps you will meet us out there next summer. Chris

We too flew with them once before. Pretty scary!

I wouldn't have guessed 42. Great pic of the grandchild!

That was great! Love the music.

Congrats Birchy! Awesome to hear things went well even though it was early. We are a week and a half away from our due date. I am doing the old tapping the fingers on the desk and waiting for the call.

4 years now with the flyrod and haven't touched the spincasters since.

TOOL at the Saddledome. Then SummerSault in Ottawa about 8 summers ago.

Congrats!

Cute dog. Wherever that lake is it looks really nice!

It is a small world. I don't talk to him that often as he is on a different project. He is an avid fisherman. He offered a free beginner's fly fishing course at work over the past couple of months. Everyday he had a small group of people out casting on the back lawn over lunch time or teaching them basics in a meeting room over lunch. I thought it was pretty cool of him to do that.

Do you want me to ask him if he minds? He sits in the cubicle on the other side of the wall from me.

We won't be there for the show. I look forward to hearing how the rematch goes.

Great shots!

Thanks all! It was an amazing day. Lynn, you better believe it. I will have that snugli on as soon as I can. Will need to get some tiny sunglasses and a hat and we will be set. What a picture that will make.

So this past weekend we decided to hit one of our favourite spots on the Highwood. We took another friend with us as he is getting into fly fishing and I wanted to show him some of the amazing places we go. Also, this area we rarely see people so it was a good opportunity to do some teaching with a good chance on getting some fish. We actually saw two people come back through this area which is a first for us, and they said it was the first time they saw people on this stretch too. Anyways, once again my wife was on fire. She caught a fair number of fish of good size, 3 or 4 cutties in the 16-18inch range and this beauty rainbow which made her reel zing. She was iffy on me posting this pics as she thought she looked chubby. She is 32 weeks pregnant, what does she expect?? Again, not much more beautiful than a woman in waders glowing with pregnancy. Only a couple more weeks of fishing for us so you will have to bare with me as I brag about her. Fighting Pic#1 Fighting Pic#2 Result #1 Close up

Those crazy dogs were pure entertainment! Kudra ripping around at speeds like that and Jessie trying to keep up was too funny.
