I've heard of exams getting cancelled/postponed due to snow in Montreal messing up the transit system, which I think is fair. Normal class? Pffff either explain it to the prof or just don't worry about it.

Regarding Amir Johnson (and setting aside the fact that you can dress LeBron at PF and sidestep this whole issue), I strongly believe his WP is being inflated by two factors, TS% and Blocks. (also maybe offensive rebounds, but the guys who maintain the WP stat are adamant that they value rebounds correctly so let's…

One thing to keep in mind is that there are two sides of the coin. While most of the discussion around issues like this focus on the (absolutely valid and very important) question of how girls perform/act. I don't mean to be all "what about teh menz" , but I believe that segregating boys and girls in formative years…

I have very mixed feelings about the washroom attendant. I mean, on the one hand, the poor guy's job sucks and he undoubtedly earns every single cent he gets. On the flip side, he provides essentially a net negative to the equation, making the whole thing much more awkward than it should be, I'd rather pump my own…

I wonder how the shape (skew and variability) of this data compares to other leagues. You'd have to imagine that a more popular less gate-driven league like the NFL would have a more even distribution right?

I'd also add that (unless you're setting up your character to be a complete villain) it is necessary to give some redeeming characteristics. You don't need likable, but you probably need at least one of likable or brave or charismatic or caring or funny or exciting or rational or so on and so forth. Going back to the…

The amount of data involved in sending a text is absolutely miniscule. Assuming you have a data plan, even a small one, (or even if you're paying by the kB in most cases!) you're still going to come out ahead over paying the 25 or 50 cents per text that Rogers or Bell makes you pay, which is downright highway robbery.

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.
