If a fat kid doesn't have the will power to choose a healthy meal, what makes you think he's going to have the intestinal fortitude to get in great shape or for that matter overcome any other obstacles put in front of him? IMHO I don't think the CF needs to hold hands every step of the...

Indeed, very similar content. My copy has a copyright date of 1995, 1996 so perhaps it made his(Kilner's) graduate degree studies (began in mid 1990s) go a little smoother ;) That being said however, I assume it's a good thing that the subject is being brought to attention again for todays...

Great article, thanks for posting. A very similar vein to 'On Killing' if you haven't checked that out yet, a good read covering many of the same subjects presented. cheers.

I agree with the fact that in today's world, instant access to information may cause unneeded stress on loved ones. This is a reality that IMHO isn't going to change any time soon, in fact it may be quite the opposite. One only has to look at the reporting coming out of Iraq, embedded...

Alex, it seems from this post as well as a few others that you indeed are not looking hard enough. Dig through the recruiting site, dig through this site, *thoroughly* and then any questions that you may have feel free to ask. I'm sure there are many who are more than willing to help out and...

I have never had the surgery myself but me and the family got it for my dad as a birthday present last year. Although I have no specifics as to vision standards before and after the surgery, his results were in his words 'Amazing'. From wearing glasses as a necessity for 55+ years to having...

Salt, pepper, a little tabasco at 350 for half an hour and...voila! ;D seriously though, it's for heat forming the insole to the shape of your foot. cheers.

Welcome Don, and thanks for the story. I honestly hope things work out as hoped for you and your family and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours! Make it Happen! cheers.

I must say I had a chuckle when I read Chavez' comments yesterday - "If someday they get the crazy idea of coming to invade us, we'll make them bite the dust defending the freedom of our land," as well as calling the United States the "most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in...

!السلام عليكم - transliteration is "Assalamu Ealaikum"...roughly translated means "Peace be Upon You", more or less the standard greeting in Arabic language/culture. :) cheers.

Arabic as a language is spoken in over 22 countries worldwide, however, as alluded to many countries have there own dialect as well. Arabic (language) is known as a diglossia, meaning that there are two forms of the language, first, there is Modern Standard Arabic based upon Quranic Arabic which...

Slim, I think there was a touch of sarcasm in that post...at least that's what I got out of it...anyways, back to the discussion! :) cheers.

No, but you can kill them wherever they try and take hold, ie. Afghanistan. I can see this thread is on a fast spiral downwards with your comments Lerick, i'll refrain from typing what I really think of your posts as I know it will definitely not be constructive to this thread.

That's there already...the "Show replies to your posts" link at the top of the page in the User Info table. And as far as the forums you have posted in, look for the folder type icon on the left vs the other 'post' icons. cheers, ryan.

Perhaps the process has been sped up for the CTS rucksack delivery issue? I thought i read on here somewhere, please forgive me if I'm wrong but that some were projecting delivery date for the ruck to be around 2010?? If this bid closes in sept. , delivery begins within 6 months and completes...

I don't know what your intentions are but to me, it seems as though you're not looking to the Army as a way to expand your horizons, but more of a free hand-out of cash for university. *IF* this is the case, I'd seriously consider re-evaluating your desires to join, I think you'll find that...

I agree 100% with our own talking bear. A lot of positive commentary has come out in the media recently and IMHO has been directly related to some of Hillier's comments regarding the forces. My only fear is that it won't be long before the liberal gov't decides that he may become too much of a...

Good luck on your run Aspiring Officer, I've done a bit of volunteer work for the Terry Fox Foundation here in calgary and did the website for the local run http://www.calgaryterryfoxrun.org . IMHO the Terry Fox Foundation is a great organisation to get involved with. One of the biggest...

Just an update to this, another cool little feature for all you astronauts... "In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, we've added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor."...

Any chance someone(mods) can swap out the Groesbeck panorama pic with a small thumb to prevent the home page from scrolling horizontally? It's a great pic just a little too wide :) Maybe it's just time I buck up and buy that widescreen LCD i've been eyeing though! cheers, ryan.
