  2. A lot of us were the people of those times, myself included. I remember having the drills in school, 1969 grade 1. Pretty scary *hit for a young child. I'm glad cooler minds prevailed as I think they do a lot more often than many of us realize. BTW, I'm sure every civilized country has pulled a Northwoods or two in their time. On a similar but somewhat sideways topic/hijack, anybody know why Canada has become the world's 6th largest arms supplier?
  3. Not in Cuba anyways............
  4. * 5 counts of second degree murder, enough is enough. Time to start handing out real sentences for real crimes. * If this guy was an employee of a business - 2 years in the slammer for the business owner for failing to provide for the safety of an employee. $50 says this guy was an alcoholic and the owner was aware of it.
  5. And then there was Operation Northwoods. Kill your own, blame your own, then shoot up Cuba. Brilliant plan.
  6. The states needs a quiet location to beat their prisoners of war and Cuba is close to home. They wouldn't want any of their "own" people on that island now would they? Somebody might see something they're not supposed to. Therefore, NO TRADE FOR YOU!!!! Crap, could you imagine what would happen if it really got out that Geneva Conventions were being busted left and right? Your up Rickr.
  7. I'm surprised this topic hasn't come up on here yet. That guy (if in fact guilty) and his COMPANY should have the book thrown at them. A frickin cement truck? Can't get much more stupid.
  8. That's funny you posted this contest. I just finished screwing around doing a mock Christmas fly for my daughter. Hook: Mustad 79580 #4 Thread: Black 6/0 Body: Red/Green Mylar Tinsel with a splash of Yellow Wing: Red Bucktail Throat: White Bucktail Hackle: White And a partridge in a pear tree………
  9. You would just have all the non smokers whining and crying.
  10. Thanks Fisherwoman. I think it will be much easier this time around. I don't drink anymore, seldom go to pubs, and work almost exclusively in Government/Municipal buildings. The less exposure the easier it is to do. I have been doing the mental preparedness thing for about 4 months. I didn't think fishing season was a good time to try so why not do it at Christmas, the most stressful time of year!!
  11. I've been geared up to quit for some time. Funny thing is it's for the same reason you quit - kids. (And the fact most of the good access to bully fishing means you have to have good lungs.) Honestly AHC should have asylums for smokers. If you sign on the dotted line they lock you up for 30 days.
  12. How you making out Dave? I was on Zyban this summer. I went from a pack a day to 1 1/2 packs a day. The first time I tried Zyban in 1998 I quit for 3 months. Maybe the second time around it doesn't have the same effect. I'm chewing the gum this time around. Tasty stuff. Nearly spewed when I chewed the first one.
  13. This marks for me 24 hrs - 14 minutes - WITHOUT A SMOKE!! Nobody piss me off today. J/K I have always found the first 30 days to be quite easy to quit, it's after that that drives me nuts. I know it doesn't make any sense.
  14. Looks yummy! No doubt it will do the job, cool tie.
  15. And now for the pics we didn't see!
  16. I would take it apart first and see if it isn't just a loose ribbon cable. I have been using Toshiba LT's for many years and have never had a physical problem with a Satellite that needed parts. At work we have these LT's bouncing around vehicles and left outside at -30 to +30, seldom an issue. The Tecra's are a different story though. Bigger bucks, supposedly more robust, but nothing but problems.
  17. $60 for $25 ?? That's a difference of $35. I tell you what. Send me a cheque for 20 bucks every month and I won't phone the cable company in Slave lake.
  18. Here's a step by step destruction : http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Tosh...sassembly_1.htm
  19. Now get the screwdriver out. You can do it.
  20. Clive I just had the keyboard done on my Tecra (Toshitba). It's a 10 minute job (by a tech) and I can't imagine the keyboard costing much more than a $75-100. I would look into it if it's still a good machine. edit - $25 http://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Toshiba-Sat...a/dp/B000KJW5QI
  21. See, just goes to show how well I listen to fisherman. Let's make it a day when everyone isn't running on 3 hours sleep. Licenses must all be purchased in advance!! Maybe someone could give me a hint on where the fish are too?
  22. I'll have to watch it again but I don't think the guys verified they caught any of the fish on the hopper patterns.
  23. Are these lakes built for storm runoff purposes? If so, I'm surprised they support fish.
