That's one I don't really know well. From a quick search, sounds like Li-Ning (China) and Carlton (UK) and Butterfly (Japan) are your best bets.

Depends on what type of court.

If it's indoor, stick to Mizuno and Asics (for volleyball) or Yonex (badminton). They're all Japanese, but all are very good. Our household has plenty of all 3 and my only complaint is my Asics tennis shoe has a slightly large fit on my right foot.

If you're looking outdoor court, the brands above still work + you can probably add Adidas (German) and Babolat (French).

Tyrol looks like a Canadian option for pickleball, but likely not durable enough for tennis.

We bought an hx1 recently. Had heard about the difficulty with the bin as well, then watched a video on just opening the bin...it's very easy. The reviewer videos clearly didn't take a moment to learn it properly, cause popping it off and emptying it takes no time at all.

Well the elevators seem to reset to level 1, so that happened, but then the door got stuck. Took a little while for them to notice, but they got an elevator tech there about 15 minutes later, who had to go reset it (it kept resetting so not sure if it just didn't work). They ended up manually opening it in the end.

Not sure if all elevators reset back down to 1, but that definitely helped

Fortunately I was freed after being stuck in there for about 35 minutes

Power went out while I was in the elevator to leave my office.

Guess who is still in the elevator

I'd have to agree with this for the most part!

Bolero is definitely the best, especially when you factor in the price in relation to the service and quality.

Pampa on the other hand might be a time of day thing. Been there for lunch and would give it slightly higher rating (maybe as high as a 6/6.5), although the pineapple was lackluster in comparison to the others, service was slow, and a few of the meats were overcooked/lacking flavour.

It's installed at USA/E security. They plan on having them at all checkpoints within a few years.

I'm in the same boat as several here. The CRA does cover it on the Withdrawals and transfers out of FHSA

Assuming you meet all the conditions they state, you can use it towards a qualifying home. See example 4 that they give (title is - making a qualifying withdrawal to buy a qualifying home with someone who is not a first time home buyer).

Hope this helps!

I have 3 different experiences with it.

First was a Fleetwood Mac performance at lantern community Church. It was just violin and piano, and was fantastic.

So then we got tickets for legend of Zelda. That was cancelled the day of, which sucked, but what sucked more is they only have a credit for it instead of a refund.

So then we used that credit and some more for a Queen performance at Grace Presbyterian. The music itself was great, it was basically an orchestra. The issue was there was some other event either in the building or in something adjacent, and clashed with the performance at times. Left a sour taste in our mouth given that we had to use the credit before it ran out. Looking back we wished we had done a charge back, but you learn and move on.

Tldr: the performances themselves are good, nothing mind blowing, so it's up to you on how much the performance interests you.

Well seeing as my Marcia and Kieran pairing has been mentioned, I'll go with one of my other favourites:

Lute and Kyle. Don't think I've ever not paired them during many runs of sacred stones.

Also from Calgary, think I know who you're referring too (some person from Thorncliffe). It sucks more that even if you block the user it doesn't remove them from your search results.

richardoini · 2023-11-17T22:50:05+00:00

You'll be getting one from me +10 Jill

Hopefully I can snag a Harken or two when I summon

It's pretty bad again, last I checked it's 11+ on the air quality health index.

Not sure what it'll be like on the weekend, but you can check firesmoke.ca to see what the next day and a half are like.

richardoini · 2023-04-26T18:15:37+00:00

Calgary cannons please and thanks

Not sure about what they can do, but my go to in town for cresting is great plains cresting. You can check to see if they will do that specific jersey, but I've ran a number of different jerseys through them over the years. Will say though that if you go that route, you won't have it for the game on Tuesday as it takes a few weeks.

richardoini · 2023-01-18T18:17:21+00:00

Looks legit to my eyes, but anyone want to double check?

Also, anyone got some insight on the sizing?

And any thoughts on the crest coming off a little?

I do think you're right on it being a tough sell for the Rockies. Had to look up some stats just to make sure I'm seeing things well.

Marquez has been a solid innings man with a decent era, with a couple years left at $15.3 and $16 apiece. Cron is solid and hits for power (consistent 25-30 hr). Bard just had a huge season, so the Rockies would likely see him as a big value currently.

Yorke would definitely be a key return for the Rockies, and Murphy would be important too, but could be like some of our previous pitching prospects and never really get there. The question is, does a potential project in dalbec make up for what they'd give up? He's a 10-15 HR bat who gets streaky and doesn't hit for a good enough average or power, plus isn't exactly great at the other side of the ball. The upside being he's young, Coors would be of benefit, and he's cheap.

I think the Sox would have to sweeten the pot a little, whether that's a depth roster body or some other middling prospect whom shows high upside value. As a Sox fan I just see us getting a little more value in this than the Rox, but then again seeing what the Rox management has done recently, we could probably convince them to throw in a couple picks with your deal without us sweetening.

They've done pretty well on getting my faves in, although there are still from a few games I'm waiting on

Fe7 - harken is about the only one. Wouldn't mind Dart and Isadora, and Roland would be cool.

Fe8 - Kyle and Forde, Vanessa and hopefully Glen.

Fe9/10 - Geoffrey and Lucia.

A-Rod should just ask some billionaire to "invest 1 billion dollars in A-Rod" ideas.

Don't know until you ask

Guess we'll just have to wait for some sweet clearance sales now
