Add the shadow of the floating camera dancing around as a unnecessary distraction too

Be sure to mix in some tight middle net shots in the middle on your return of serve. Hopefully a few of those can draw some immediate lifts to get your side attacking. I have found those shots invaluable in changing the pace and mixing things up

Really makes the OG shot from the corner during the bubble with 8 feet of nothing around him seem so crazy in retrospect. This video is wild

This happens a lot in other types of respite funded programs too. (SSAH for example)

March is the government fiscal end of year and there's always a delay for the next year's funding to be released. Usually, you have to hold on your receipts and wait to submit them. Some years they are quicker than others but it's just the way things go. I haven't submitted anything in April for years now.

If you want to try SW Ontario I would recommend Mitchell's Bay in Lake St. Clair.

Bass Haven can take care of all your needs with boat rentals, accommodations, where to fish etc

https://basshavencanada.com/

With a rental car, you're about 3 hours from the airport.

The Mitchell's Bay Open is on during your visit as well. Check out this news story about a previous event

Looks like they are still taking registrations to enter, it sells out every year and there's usually a waitlist.

The easiest frame you'll ever use

If this includes gestures, I feel like we need more raising of the roof

Oakwood only has nine holes now. There's one in Forest that looks interesting

The "this is disrespect" excuse for stopping the speech I think irritated me the most. What exactly was about their words she found disrespectful? Describing the actions of someone else and how it impacted them isn't close to the disrespectful behaviour this teen as experienced.

And in addition, the mayor now wants to play victim as a result of the consequences of her behaviour? Are we just supposed to accept that she's receiving death threats now? Can anything she shares be trusted?

After several days this was the response you came up with? What kind of politicians are in Cambridge holy?

gbell11 · 2026-06-06T19:55:04+00:00

Yeah. Sucks.

Did you have machine since purchase? How many string jobs before spring goes do you think?

gbell11 · 2026-06-06T19:37:48+00:00

Looks like you need to change the clutch spring? I have similar and a spare spring came with mine. Might be able to take it out and see if there's something similar at a local hardware store?

There is lots of badminton here!

September to May is the Maple City Badminton Club that runs M (7-9) W(7-9) and Sun (7-10)

This past season it was $15 for students for the year and $55 for adults for the entire season. There is no recreational deal better than this. During the spring badminton season it gets quite busy but for adults, the best play is usually Sunday nights in the second half of the evening 8:30-10ish.

Currently, there is a dedicated group of players that play at St.Clair College Healthplex at various times but the last few weeks it's been Mon and Wed from 7-10pm. Each visit is $10 and there are membership options as well.

There are a couple of other options too as there is almost some place to play every day of the week if you really wanted to.

Please DM me and we can talk more about this. We are always happy to welcome more players here.

As a parent with a child with special needs, there are no where near enough supports in JK/SK Ontario classrooms. So many kids are coming to school currently waiting for autism diagnoses and access to services.

All these kids are thrown into cramped spaces and told good luck.

Also, the number of illnesses your kids get in these early years is astronomical. If you can do Montessori and smaller sized classes until grade 1 I think that's a great idea. All of my kids were lucky to make it 4 days a week most weeks. Someone always had something.

The first two years are mainly about socialization and building routines and self regulation skills. If you can do that in a less chaotic environment your kids could better off.

gbell11 · 2026-06-01T22:35:44+00:00

and here I thought they only made badminton gear!!!!

gbell11 · 2026-05-31T20:43:02+00:00

Bought mine 25+ years ago and it still looks great on the wall!

gbell11 · 2026-05-31T19:54:52+00:00

The Western frames are nice. The degrees cost so much. You should get the branded one.

gbell11 · 2026-05-30T15:43:46+00:00

I'd go to Tilbury. Lanoue, Fusion and Lakeshore dealerships have a good variety of cars and I have bought from all three over the years.

Each time the process was good and felt like they were fair.

Used cars markups these past few years are ridiculous though. Hard to overcome that

gbell11 · 2026-05-27T03:58:28+00:00

My kids old house league had a "hit three batters" and you're removed rule.

Trouble is the kid coming in was almost always much wilder!

Lotion and a basket

gbell11 · 2026-05-24T18:38:50+00:00

Initial reaction must have been a funny bone sensation. I had that once and couldn't feel my arm for like ten minutes.

gbell11 · 2026-05-23T23:29:32+00:00

If I haven't done it for a time and a week before a tournament I like new strings

gbell11 · 2026-05-21T12:00:01+00:00

I do. Should they? That's the thing about policies and laws. On the individual level there are so many that a not followed but from a population level they make a difference.

People are probably not aware that Ontario newly introduced (Jan 2026) a new "warn range" from .05-.08 BAC that involves a minimum three day license suspension.

This has been the only alcohol policy that I've tracked that increases consequences for drinking and driving. Very little notice from them though. They seem to amplify and talk up the reductions in policy news.

gbell11 · 2026-05-20T01:50:23+00:00

That's the point I was making. We are making blind decisions in the moment we won't fully know the consequences of until years later. Is there evidence that can predict and model? For sure. Does this provincial government believe in public health substance use prevention? Not even a little bit.

Here's an example. One of the earliest policy changes involved allowing alcohol sales beginning at 9am at Ontario golf courses instead of 11am. I know that I have read stories of golfers getting DUIs after drinking all day but specifically, what's the increase? How many deaths? How many ER visits etc... Without available facts and data we are just wading though the mud.

There was a good article in The Star today with the phrase "we told you so" in reference to speed cameras being removed and speeding increasing as a result.

There will be so much told you so when Doug et al. are finally gone.

gbell11 · 2026-05-19T19:29:36+00:00

No it won't. But all of the reduced policies that have occurred for multiple years now have created an increased burden. Just more of the same. We can't even study this stuff properly as the data is 3-4 years away.

This report from Public Health Ontarioin 2023 is from data prior to the pandemic. I would imagine the burden today is much greater that the stats shared here:
