If you're looking at a Camry, the 2007 has been redesigned to not look like your dad's car.  It looks more handsome if that's your thing and it comes in a hybrid model.  You should definitely look at that. A quick hijack, does anyone have any experience with either the 2006 Lexus IS250 AWD or...

I must say the two best shows that Canada has put out recently are This is Wonderland and Corner Gas.  Coolest?  I'm not so sure.  Definitely great for CBC and CTV standards though!!!!! Cheers, Charles

When I was in St. Jean in '03 I sent a package home and it took approximately a week which is a pretty standard time for Canada Post.  I understand letter mail is faster than parcel mail.  My home is in southern Ontario so the postal system may work a little faster than say sending to the west...

Under Armour Cold Gear is fantastic.  I was running in early March when it was just slightly above 0 degrees wearing just the mock turtle neck and the leggings.  It kept me perfectly comfortable.  My body was not cold at the beginning of the run and I did not overheat at the end.  Not only...

Hey When I ride I try to keep the same cadence whether up hill, downhill or on the flats, so naturally when going up hill my chainring may get smaller and when goin downhill may go bigger!!!! 

I wasn't allowed to watch Baywatch or Married with Childrem growing up, but I did watch lots of Kids of Degrassi, Degrassi Junior High, and Degrassi  High in reruns of course, even I was a little too young for the original.

A B. Eng. or a B. A. Sci. is what you get after you graduate from an accredited engineering university.  They stand for bachelors of engineering and applied science respectively.  That would be your engineering degree. A P.Eng. are the post-nomials licensed Professional Engineers place after...

The Ontario Engineering Competition(OEC) is held annually as an event for undergraduate engineering students across Ontario to showcase their talents in a fun and professional environment. This past weekend the 2005 OEC was held at the University of Waterloo and teams representing accredited...

I've been looking at the pay scale for officers on the dnd site and  I'm just curious as to why there's no Officer Cadet pay scale for DEO officers, ie "C"?  Am I to assume Officer Cadets under DEO receive Second Lieutenants pay?  As an aside why do ROTP Second Lieutenants get paid more than...

When I was on PAT in St. Jean we had an excellent Sergeant running PAT platoon.  PAT can be a complete waste of time if you make it that, or it could be a pretty fulfilling experience.  There are times when you have to sit in the room.  We had tea and toast, visits to the MIR, and PT...

UV will inactivate organics including bacteria and viruses.  It has been used in municipal water treatment systems as a disinfetant for some time.  Basically UV just messes around with the nuclei in the cells and render the microbes uncapable of dividing and doing the nasty stuff to you, not...

This is a topic I thought might inspire some thought provoking discusssion.  With Gen. Henault's recent appointment to NATO and some discussion about the next CDS, I was wondering if an engineer has ever been CDS or even Chief of Lands Staff?  What obstacles prevent an engineer from having the...

Oakville, ON!!!  Tim Horton's HQ, now there's something to brag about!!!  I use to work at the Holiday Inn where the Tim Horton's employees would stay, and everyday they'd bring boxes upon boxes of donuts for us.  These would all be the top secret prototype ones and most of them would never make...

definitely the beef jerky, though u are not really suppose to have food in the shacks. My parents sent it to me during basic and my podmates and I ate it in 2 seconds flat, we didn‘t want the DS to get us. If you‘re really nice, send him some gortex socks and boots with vibram soles!!! PS...
