You could make the case for Fisher, in his best years in Ottawa he was a PPG player and a defensive beast. He's kind of faded into obscurity since going to Nashville though. Mike Comrie though? No. Not even close.

(Canadian) GST is charged on almost all consumer purchases, the three primary exceptions being "basic groceries" (eg. unprepared food such as fruit&veggies, milk, bread, most meats, etc), prescription drugs (but not OTC things like Advil), and medical devices (eg. hearing aids, crutches/walkers/wheel chairs, blood…

I think this has been one of the best responses I've seen:

Ellie Goulding's voice makes everything sexier.

I'd even say the love story made the ending even more powerful since (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!) Tris chose doing the right thing, based on her personal values on those she received from her family growing up, over being there for the guy, who kept telling her he couldn't survive without her.

God I hope not. The third book was much better than the second, and the ending was amazing, it came like an absolute punch in the face.

That's not quite right. The arc of a ball (discounting rotation and wind) can be approximated as a parabola, which implies that the highest point is halfway from the QB's hand to the same elevation downfield (generally just about the quarterback's height, give or take the throwing motion). The highest point has…

The flip side of that coin is that if you're getting broadcast TV instead of cable you sometimes only get one game, since CTV/City will often mirror whichever game you can pick up from Buffalo, so you're stuck watching the Bills on two channels while better games go on elsewhere.

Between this and her comments a little while ago about how she'd like to be in a time travel movie where she actually gets to time travel I'm starting to really like her opinion on things.

it's not a big stretch to assume that the players on east coast teams weren't adjusting their cycles to be at peak performance

Hold on, let's not compare economics and science!

I was convinced by the midway point of Mockingjay that the book was setting up one getting killed off and Katniss choosing to leave the other one, and I was very OK with this. I think the reason that Gale is so appealing is that even off-page he is a proactive force while Peeta, as good of a person as he is, kind of…

I think you're right about having read the book recently. I haven't read them in a few years, and some of the things I'd half-forgotten (Cinna nooooooo!!!!) were some of the hardest blow.

I have never owned a pair, but I am firmly on the pro side, as I am on the Great Sweatpants Debate. Strangers don't owe you anything, they don't need to look "neat" or "presentable" or whatever other code for not attractive enough you want to use, unless its a professional situation or they want to out of their own…

I think your point about being aware of limitations and/or margins of error is very valid, but as someone who has studied climate I think that the modelling community has an easier job with climate because so much of it is so well understood compared to the human body. I mean, most of the important factors are macro…

Some of the other comments in this thread seem to imply that a drug company wouldn't change its recommendation because they're evil and out to get as much money as possible. While both of those things may be true, the FDA does regulate who a drug is to be prescribed to, and a company can't just go changing it without…

So this isn't shower-related, but it does have to do with the whole "women have male friends" thing. I've had this conversation with one of my best friends, who has said she wishes there was a way to include me in her (eventual) wedding in some capacity, but traditionally there's no role for a male friend of the…

Always go aisle. You can stretch one leg out during the flight, and its easier to get up and walk around.

That's happened to me before with existing seats. To preface: I'm not fat but I'm a big guy, pushing 6'4 and fairly broad-shouldered, so I need every inch of room they give me to contort my knees into the crack in front of the tiny excuse for a seat. As a rule I go for aisle, so I can stretch at least one leg out, but…

Not that I disagree, but the fact that they name-dropped three actresses who are 23, 24 and 26 kind of give a hint on the range they're looking for. Sackhoff and Bell are in their mid-30s, and Torres is 46 (WAIT WHAT NO WAY. SERIOUSLY? Did not see that coming). And to be totally honest I'm not 100% sold on Zoe Bell…
