  1. Well done! We hit our goal faster than I expected, but then again this is the best unit ever! There will be no weapon restrictions for 1 week as promised, and a special thanks to those that made it possible:

  2. Hey everyone,

    The monthly payment is coming up on Sunday and we are short $50 for this month. If we can get to our goal this month I will give the unit 1 week of no weapon restrictions. As always, I want you to know that we understand that not everyone can donate so please don't feel obligated. Thank you in advance to those that donate, without you guys we wouldn't be able to have a place we call home.

    Cheers!

  3. The topic says "Most murica pictures ever."

    So, how does Captain Canuck win in this display of US National Pride? Are you trying to tell us that even though he wears the Canadian flag, he really aspires to be a proud 'murican?

    I'm glad you asked that question. You see Captain Canuck is a Canadian comic book superhero. Created by cartoonist Ron Leishman and artist/writer Richard Comely, the original Captain Canuck first appeared in Captain Canuck #1 (cover-dated July 1975). Three characters have worn the maple leafed costume of Captain Canuck. Described as a cross between Captain America and Flash Gordon, the first Captain Canuck patrols Canada in the (then) futuristic world of 1993, where "Canada had become the most powerful country in the world." He was the costumed agent of the Canadian International Security Organization (CISO).

    Now you might be asking yourself, "Well that doesn't answer my question." Of course it doesn't, it was intended to set you up for this explanation that will answer your question. You see electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is one of the fundamental phenomena of electromagnetism, behaving as waves propagating through space, and also as photon particles traveling through space, carrying radiant energy. In a vacuum, it propagates at a characteristic speed, the speed of light, normally in straight lines. EMR is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. As an electromagnetic wave, it has both electric and magnetic field components, which oscillate in a fixed relationship to one another, perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of energy and wave propagation. EMR is characterized by the frequency or wavelength of its wave. The electromagnetic spectrum, in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength, consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays. The eyes of various organisms sense a somewhat variable but relatively small range of frequencies of EMR called the visible spectrum or light. Higher frequencies correspond to proportionately more energy carried by each photon; for instance, a single gamma ray photon carries far more energy than a single photon of visible light.

    I hope that puts to rest any questions you might have about Captain Canuck.

  4. They are worth 1/3rd of Real Madrid and Manchester United: http://www.forbes.com/soccer-valuations/list/

    Still, I am surprised by how high a revenue an ice hockey team can achieve considering its limited popularity in most parts of the world.

    Bingo, and about 95% of their fans are Canadians. Considering how small the market is compared to soccer (aka football) which has a global fan base, the Maple Leafs have some dedicated fans!

  5. I have the game and here are my thoughts. The game is not that great. There are tons of glitches in the game that people find and exploit making your experience feel like shit, it is extremely laggy because of the particles in the game world, you can only play it in windowed mode for most people, and the game uses so much memory (probably because of a developer glitch or something) that it leaves your computer huffing and puffing while you're playing it.

    I would not recommend this game to anyone until these problems are fixed. It's a waste of $20.
