    I just naturally assumed that because it was a gang at the St Patrick's Day Festival, that these rapscallions were somehow involved...

    Probably not much of a help to you, but there are still lots of new CX100s available through retailers in Canada. I was just at the retailer yesterday and their warehouse has 100s of them.

    True. Or maybe because he now has a full time Caravan, he can do more tandems. And so can the tandem masters.

    what changed your mind?

    I had been under the impression that even though Joe is known for his 'fiscal frugality', he did pay equal or higher than average for staff pay.

    Are there 'plug and play' add ons that would allow someone to simply update their webpage with online payment capabilities? I have seen people set up PayPal accounts and use that, but are there any that are a bit more 'seemless'?
  8. pbwing
    Why are they less?

    How is it in low-light situations compared to the CX100?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm beginning to think you really don't like Republicans...

    [replyAlso for the record, as far a liberals go I do not make blanket statements (such as the one you post) nor do I think that or believe that Now that's some funny stufff right there... So your post entitled "Hey Libs, you are gonna love this!!" can't be described as a blanket statement?

    Actually, I do pay attention (I know, that kinda makes be a sucker for punishment). What the biggest contention the opposition had to Bill C-9 - along with a number of other groups including the Canadian Bar Association, was that it removed any sort of judicial discretion WRT conditional sentencing. It truly was a knee jerk reaction on the part of the Conservatives in order to fulfill a campaign promise. It's interesting that you are very critical of the NDP in this case, but without their support, the bill never would passed.

    http://www.fpj.ca/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=346 It's never been my attempt to 'defend' Liberals. What I prefer is non biased, fact based discussion. That quote is taken for the Prime Minister during a campaing. Of course it's going to be inflammitory. Like I said originally, the intent of the Liberal changes in 1996 were to make it an option, not make it a requirement to use house arrest for some violent crimes. You said they wanted it to be mandatory for house arrest and I called you out on it. Simple as that.

    Not quite sure if that's right. Conditional sentencing was passed by the Liberals in 1996 as an option for justices to consider. House Arrest was an option for a variety of offences including drug related and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. In 2008, the Conservatives removed that as a option for sentencing for serious crimes. I'm not sure that the Liberals ever 'wanted to ensure' that everyone convicted of a serious crime be automatically placed under house arrest.

    That's very neat that you can trace your ancestry that far back, to the way-early days of American settlement by Europeans. If they do it again, offer yourself up as a volunteer - I'm sure you would enjoy it, especially since you have a personal connection to it. Yeah, it really is neat. We are very lucky to still have the home owned by the family. It's the oldest home continuously in the possession of members of the same family through successive generations. All if it is maintained through family donations and from visitors to the museum.

    That is pretty cool!! Thanks for sharing. We (my family association) are looking to continue an archaeological dig at our family homestead in Sandwich, MA which dates back to 1637. A couple of years ago, they did a preliminary dig and now they want to see what else they can find.
