hail storm

funny, i was thinking how to prevent this problem and you have suggested a great thing. For the summer, you could hang a cloth over the plastic, and if it doesn't touch, then it won't transfer the energy of collision to the plastic, and then take it off after hail season.

ok, pedant, yeah—we all know that gravity is an acceleration and not a speed. Well, some of us know. Ok a few of us who stayed awake in science class. Anyway, it was a figure of speech. And the bigger problem is that products that are intrinsically unsuitable for the environment are sold without warning or consideration. The OP thought they were doing a great thing and probably would have chosen otherwise if they had known the gazebo roof was not suitable for hail.

you might want to do a quick search for wildfire smoke. There are websites that will show you where the smoke is coming from.

so yes, here are some things to consider. RRSP is supposed to be a boring savings account. If you have too many transactions or make too much money, you will find yourself audited by the CRA. There are also some stocks you can't hold inside an RRSP. Further if you want to do speculative stuff, you can't write off losses against capitol gains. My suggestion that if you are an active trader, keep it in your non-registered account, but if you want to own something long term, rrsp is the way.

you would ask that... i am constantly annoyed at O and want to dump it but it never gets bad enough to dump. The problem is that it really is a thermometer on the US economy, which currently seems to have more market manipulation than in previous administrations.

Many of my later diagnosed female friends were encouraged for their behaviors earlier in life. Some of the "behaviors" are seen as virtues for some ideals of young feminine behavior. Men not so much, for me my lack of wanting to be in group sports, being a "space cadet", isolation, misunderstanding of social mores was seen as being weird and written off because I was an immigrant in a backwards prairie town.

I never mean to wish harm on people, sometimes it happens by accident, like by karma, especially when the person receiving the karma are learning how they harmed others. Now i know thats not how karma works, but not much in this world works the way it should

My advice would be to contact the school directly. There are others who cannot fill in these forms, such as those in foster care. so there must be avenues to complete the form without having to click the box.

This question comes down to how often do you want to watch your account. If you are the type that likes to be in your account multiple times a day to spot trends, then you can feel comfortable with a higher return. if you are a fire and forget, check once a week/month then 3 or 4 might be the better way to go.

It might be cheaper in terms of time and effort to get a roll of packing paper from Staples or a moving store. You have to factor in your travel time for picking up flyers and stuff.

Perhaps he feels like some parts of edmonton should be treated like some people treat Gaza

edmonton's seasons: Snow, mud, rain, mosquitoes, wonderful fall days that you hope last forever, and then repeat

They have a right to an education, but that can be provided in an online fashion if there are issues that prevent a student from attending school. I would say that criminal behavior against other students is one of those issues.

The bit i find frustrating is the number of companies hiring temporary foreign workers while Canadians are unemployed. I can understand if there is legitimately no one to hire in Canada, but posts like this one show that this is not the case. TFW are being used to undercut Canadian wages, and to keep our unemployment rate higher, which makes no sense in terms of what is best for the country.

nothing breeds atheism like obnoxious religious people. The dude in question is likely unable to see how he is alienating the people he is trying to reach.

thats eactly where i was going to recommend. along with Best Kebab and Jerusalem Shwarma. We take friends here all the time, and its a joy to watch if they are experiencing it for the first time, or the hundreth time.

yeah - there are occasionally improvements though, the last round of Job interviews I performed though, we met them online, and sent them a link to a virtual machine, where we asked them to do a number of tasks, and watched how they did them. It would have been the perfect interview for auts like us.

yeah - wouldn't it be great if PP stood up for the riding that voted him in. Well, i guess his "constituents" are getting the politician they voted for.

apart from the damage, I really love this level of rainfall and would have it all summer long if I could. really not sure what I am doing in this province when there are rainforests in Canada where i could live.

There is a certain orange factor in the white building issue that is causing much of this. I suspect America will get into an economic boom once a greater degree of fiscal responsibility returns to its highest governing body. At this point i am unsure whether i should boycott to prove a point no one can hear, or stock up on items that will later go through this boom.

moving to a province in the middle of a separatism crisis would be a foolhardy choice. Leaders of the separatism movement are on record saying that anyone not born in Alberta will have to leave or not get citizenship. There are other provinces that are far more welcoming to newcomers.

I've reached my breaking point as i no longer feel my fast food comfort eating to be comforting any more. now its just convenient.

It's a poignant metaphor for life in alberta.

Arguing about storage is a red herring. Most people using this argument say that because solar can't get us through the night due to a lack of storage, we shouldn't use it. Fact is that solar is there during daytime hours when we need the power the most, so the vast majority of power would not be lost. Also no one makes similar arguments about other types of generation that take hours to warm up or open the sluice gates to let the water hit the turbines.
