    Applying for Jobs while Employed

    Question for those that do the job cruise on a frequent basis...do you treat the interviews/meetings as informational interviews, in a more casual manner or do you approach them as if they are actual interviews and you are looking for a job in all seriousness? If offered a position with another...

    Lens for party photography/indoor portraits

    Have you tried searching for some tips on www.photo.net? I like that forum, and find that by searching around you can usually pick up tips from photographers of all skill sets. If it were me, and I'm a newbie so I'm just guessing here, I would pack something close to a 50mm lens, and an external...

    Anyone have experience sending money via Western Union?

    Depending on who you are sending the money to (and the $ amount), you could also just send a wire transfer from your bank. Might be slightly more expensive in the end as each intermediary bank charges fees, but if something goes wrong or you need to follow-up on the transfer your bank may be in...

    Christmas is coming early for girlfriends this year

    A friend of mine had a similar device I remember...except his was a belt you put around your stomach and it repeatedly punched you (vibrated) to develop abdominal muscles. I think he threw it out after a few uses.

    Rate your city: why you love it or lump it.

    Calgary - 6 Pros: -Economy: Job opportunities are good I think, of course like any city also hit by the downturn in the economy. -Mountains: Lots of opportunity to get outdoors into the Rocky Mountains, only about an hour away. And Banff is a nice day trip in itself. -Skiing: Lots of ski hills...

    Calgary, Alberta

    I searched around at this website: http://www.rentspot.com/listings/109/index.html for West Downtown and found some places for rent. The pricepoint I'm seeing is about $1600-1800/mth for 800 square feet which is 2 bedroom. Looking at the for rental signs I could find in lobbies, the prices were...

    Calgary, Alberta

    Living in the beltline, I wouldn't bother driving to work - bike, walk, or take the bus. That being said, having a car for the weekends would be nice for: 1) Costco runs 2) Grocery shopping 3) Banff / Kananaskis / Golfing 4) Going to the malls aside from Chinook / Southcentre which have direct...

    Calgary, Alberta

    Kensington is trendy, but in my opinion overpriced for what you'll probably rent - people just like Kensington for the atmosphere but I think you can do better. Beltline (17th ave) is nice and has a good nightlife, though maybe a bit of a hike in cold windy weather. I live in west downtown...

    Teen gets 5 years for Pizza Pop stabbing

    "Mr. Anderson was bound by two probation orders at the time of the stabbing, Ms. MacLellan [Crown Attorney] said, and has 21 prior convictions." That about sums it up right there - an 18 year old kid with 21 convictions.

    Shopping in Calgary

    First of all, sorry about the necropost. Just an FYI for anybody interested in Calgary stores at this time of year: -Grafton & Co. in TD Square is having a "lease-expiring"/moving sale. Most of their stuff is 25-40% off. Sweaters I think I saw were 25% off, dress shirts and ties...

    Keeping your head warm w/o hat hair, suggestions?

    I like being warm, so I just wear a toque and wet my hair with a bit of gel/whatever at work, gets it back to presentable on most days. I find that most people wear toques, so it's not like you will be the only person with hat head. If you carry a bag to work, I would just keep a toque in it as...

    Shopping in Calgary

    1202 First Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2R 0V4 "Forman's carries clothing for men; it's a little punny and a little apropos. Look for Versace, Zegna, and Hugo Boss: day and night clothing for the lint-brush and candle-dinner-date crowd of nascent expense-accounters. -S.T." from...

    Shopping in Calgary

    While we're on the topic of Calgary shopping, do you guys have any recommendations for a good tailor? Not needing anything fancy, all I need done is to have the sleeves on a blazer altered, albeit by a few inches so I might need a competent tailor that can move the non-working buttonholes and...

    Need Help w/ Business Wardrobe

    Maybe some brown, and perhaps even orange colours? I'd pass on the black suit, I have one too and I never wear it. I'd go with charcoal, a navy, and then maybe a subtle charcoal/navy pinstripe (nothing too outlandish with fat stripes). I feel that fat stripes are for hot-shot executives with...

    PC for Gaming - specs?

    Ok, perhaps I was exagerrating a bit too much. FSX is demanding due to the fact that it has to render the landscape, the plane, the lighting, the ocean, the other aircraft etc. so it pushes extremely hard. I mainly play FSX, so that's my only real comparison at the moment. My recommendation on...

    PC for Gaming - specs?

    You have to resign yourself to the fact that your PC will never be able to keep up with the latest games. I'm running an Intel Quad Core E6600 (2.4GHz), with 4GB of RAM, Vista Business, and with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, and I can barely get Flight Simulator X to run past 20 frames per second...

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    The only problem with these shirts, at least with the white one with the spread collar, is that they are not as wrinkle-free as they claim. I bought two Geoffrey Beene shirts at a 60% discount, and right now the collars are so stiff they are unwearable. Initially I thought the collars were too...

    Which of these winter boots best with suits?

    I live in western Canada, so pretty soon I'll have to deal with winter. I've only recently started wearing dress clothes, so I'm trying to find a "budget" winter boot. My problem is, how the heck does one deal with the "splash" from slushy streets? No matter what kind of shoe, if the dress pant...
