The Leafs are taking a break from what?  Lifting the cup in 1967? Yeah, I said it.  1967.

I just want to say that I'm holding out for the Habs to win the cup this year.  Delusional, perhaps, but I'm optimistic!

This isn't a big surprise.  I went to school in South Korea (as a student, not a teacher) and there was a lot of anti-American sentiment.  We also weren't treated very well at some establishments in our local neighbourhood - "no foreigner" signs outside bars, shopkeepers would refuse to serve...

I downloaded right off the Army site and it took about nine minutes (I was timing it)... I'm not sure why it's taking everyone so long.  I just saved it on my desktop.

Based on the millions of Colombians who marched against the FARC on February 4 in Bogota and around the world, I would say that the FARC has definitely lost favour with Colombians.  I haven't met a single person who sympathized with them (unlike in years past when the FARC actually had an agenda...

They're recommending stainless steel right now for reusable water bottles. Of course, I'm sitting here drinking out of a Nalgene right now, so I'm not the best person to ask.  I don't know if it's possible to avoid all the potential "cancer causers" right now.

Didn't the Flames only give a few hundred seats last time?  Compared to thousands in Edmonton? I remember reading the details for the military night.  I realize the dedication/tributes occur, but I would think there would be more tickets available in Calgary.  Especially since the cost of...

Garb - how long is "living" out of the country?  Would that include doing things like a semester exchange to Korea (still a full time student in Canada, but studying in Korea for a term)? CelticGirl - sorry to hear about your hold up!  :(  It must be so frustrating.  I hope that they manage to...

I just started, but I'm only learning the "military pushups" now.  I'm also used to doing pushups from the knee (the girly way) because I haven't really built my upper body strength yet.  I have over a year until I join, but I'm planning to get into the best shape possible so I can have a...

I have a few more hints to add to this - I'm currently working on improving my French (I took 14 years of French Immersion) and on learning Spanish beyond three years of high school study. One thing that has worked for me is to watch movies in the foreign language - either subtitles, or dubbed...

I don't have a home, really - I call Atlantic Canada "home".  I was born in Summerside then moved out of there in '89 and lived in Belleville, ON then Comox for about a year, followed by a post-FRP trip back to Belleville - followed by university in Halifax, an exchange term in Seoul and my...

I would also take the opportunity to read up on basic investing - you can get decent money management books from any public library or from Chapters.  Even something like the Wealthy Barber will help you learn how to manage your funds.  It's important to note that you can't just rely on a...

Well, I spoke too soon.  Mine was stolen yesterday - either from the mall or from the organization where we did our company wide volunteering day.  I think it was stolen from the mall, though, because I don't recall seeing it when I was hiding my purse in my trunk.  >:( I just called my dad to...

LostCargo, my reasons for wanting to join are similar to yours!  It's something I've always come back to look at - through high school, university and now that I'm out working in "the real world."  Lets just say I have found "the real world" to be considerably more boring than anticipated.  I'm...

I took mine off last night before putting my car through the car wash - great idea! My father's had one on his truck for a few years now and hasn't lost it yet!  And that truck has seen a lot of mileage - multiple trips per year to the Maritimes (from the Trenton area), lots of time around...

There's a little restaurant at the bottom of the Five Fishermen called "Little Fish." The Old Triangle is a fantastic pub in Halifax, I would bring my family there whenever they were in town.  It's located on Prince Street, I believe - a block or two above the waterfront.  There's a patio and...

They're actually accepting people who wear glasses for "moderate vision correction".  I actually booked an eye appointment for the day after I spoke with the recruiter so that I would have an idea of whether I require a "moderate correction" or not.  The optometrist said I would qualify to be a...

Hey fullmetal parka - I'm going to apply in late 2008 or early 2009.  I haven't completely told my parents yet, although I think my father has probably made an educated guess.  He was enlisted and worked as an aeroengine tech with SAR in Summerside, Trenton and Comox. My goal is to be a...

Max, that article also fails to mention that the American military believes there to be up to 20 additional tunnels along the border that have yet to be found.  It wouldn't be a surprise, especially with the size of the DPRK military. I had a chance to visit one of the tunnels while on a tour...

My understanding is that the frequency of such events has declined with the ROK's introduction of the "Sunshine Policy" towards the DPRK.
