    "Dog killed by car, family billed for the damages"

    Hit a patch of ice coming off a stop sign last year, was only in first gear was under 10km an hour slid off the road into a light pole which crunched up my car to my front axle. My old Camaro would have shrugged it off. I too live in "the boonies" and between the racoons and porcupines and deer...

    Free time vs Work

    Just taking this off the recruiting vid for MARS, but I believe it states when not at sea its normal garrison hours like the army your basic 8-4 or whatever, with your normal weekends and holidays off.

    WAR by Sebastian Junger

    The book was very well written in my opinion. I easily read through it in a morning/ afternoon. I found it fascinating, the observations and insights. Now I cannot comment on how accurate those observations are as I myself have no combat experience, but I would recommend the book.

    g-force passout question

    From what I understand it comes down to a little bit of everything. Impossible to look at a person and say "Yup he'll definitely pass"

    What PC Video Game Are You Playing Now?

    I'm not a huge GTA fan but Red Dead Redemption looks quite good. Been keeping an eye on it. I'll probably give it a try.

    What PC Video Game Are You Playing Now?

    The Hunter. Online hunting sim. Free to hunt as many Mule Deer as you like with a .243 if you want other animals, guns, and areas then you need to buy a membership. Amazing graphics, though admittedly not a game for everyone. www.thehunter.com

    "Study finds shortcomings in CPR education"

    Are they saying that 185 school children have had heart attacks in Toronto int he past two years? If so thats more worrisome to me than their rate of CPR.  I was never taught CPR in school, I learned it during swimming courses at the Y and when I took a babysitting course, but never in school.

    Officer Board

    I don't think it is ROTP. As you said thats not a reserve entry plan, and being accepted into ROTP  I can say I had a 1 on 1 interview but never went in front of an Officer Board.

    Armed CF18s scramble to shadow jet with bomb threat.

    I'd be disappointed if it were any other way  ;). Back on topic though, putting up the "cost" of the operation was cheap and served no purpose.

    "Ontario highway 'toll booth' peaceful: OPP"

    As a fellow Motorcyclist that makes me sick. I never ride without full gear. I have been tempted to on many a hot day to ditch the armoured leather jacket but it only takes seeing the results of a guy who dumped his bike while wearing only a t-shirt, shorts, flip flops, and a helmet to convince...

    Bureaucrats eyeing online forums to correct information

    Thats how I read it. So I see nothing overly wrong with it. It's not censoring as they are not removing posts, just adding posts rebutting a lot of "facts" that the internet generates.
