Didn't buy this, it was a B'Day gift, but I thought you might enjoy it.

It's a very old cigarette humidor dispenser.

I did however have to buy the cigarettes, so I guess it counts.

Quote from bunder9999 :nice. we don't have a drag strip. i think the closest ones around here are in cayuga or toronto.

Come up next July and I'll give you the whole tour, we are not that far from Toronto, and we use our local airport for the strip.

Quote from UncleBenny :Hah when I read Elliot Lake, I thought this would be drag boat racing. Some very nice cars in those pictures.

Haha, good one, we use our local airstrip, it's quite nice seeing our pop double in one weekend. This is year 11 for this event and keeps getting bigger, anyone interested in paying a visit next year, i have a room you can stay in and give the tour.

The little pitures don't do justice to all the parties that go on. the car show alone is amazing.

Drag boat wouldn't work here as grand stands and air coverage isn't possible.

Glad you liked the pics, but I will collect some more in depth pics and post later.

Thanks for the comments.

Quote from amp88 :The thread title is very simplistic (and probably inaccurate given that if it does come into law it's likely not to be a full ban), but what do people here think about it? For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about French MPs voted overwhelmingly (335 for and 1 against) to make wearing full face coverings illegal in France. Some people's religion and/or culture make them feel as if they should wear these coverings. Other people may choose to cover their face for other personal reasons (scarring from burns, for example).

Do you think partially of fully covering your face (with a burka, head dress, balaclava or anything else) should be illegal?

I can understand the supposed security risk (it can be very difficult to identify someone whose face is covered), but I still feel that people should be able to cover their face if they wish.

Here are a few links:
http://www.independent.co.uk/n ... ins-unlikely-2028672.html
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new ... our-of-banning-burka.html

If it's cold enough I'd cover my face in any cloth, If I was challenged to remove face gear...why not , I got nothing to hide, ask me, don't order me.

What about HOodies. they cover as much.

I'm not making this up as we ago along.

A second man, who hasn't been named, was also arrested at the residence. Police did not explain the second man's connection to the case, but they said he was being questioned.

Vader, a former oil worker with a criminal record, was wanted on a number of outstanding warrants related to firearms and property offences at the time of his arrest. He was taken into custody without incident.

Neighbour Ian Kennedy said he woke up in the early hours of the morning to police lights flashing off the walls of his home.

"Two o'clock this morning I got up and lights were reflecting all over the walls, so I came out and on the highway they had two cruisers blocking off the road here," Kennedy told CTV News.

Police said the location of Vader's arrest will be the subject of a "continuing investigation."

Police were to question Vader about the disappearance of Lyle and Marie McCann -- an elderly couple from St. Alberta, Alta., who last spoke to their family on July 3.

RCMP Sgt. Tim Taniguchi would not say exactly why Vader is a person of interest in the case.

"The investigation has revealed that Mr. Vader may have information that's significant to the missing person case," Taniguchi told CTV News Channel in a telephone interview Monday afternoon.

The McCanns were due to make their way to a campground near Chilliwack, B.C., where they were to meet up with family later in the month.

Two days after they last spoke to their family, the McCanns' motorhome was found on fire in a wooded area near Edson, Alta., on July 5.

After tracing the registration papers back to the McCanns, police went to their home in St. Albert, Alta., and attempted to contact them. But there was no answer and police did not follow up with family.

Five days later, the McCanns were supposed to pick up their daughter and granddaughter from the airport in Abbotsford, B.C. But they didn't show up.

"So the daughter got worried, she filed the missing-persons report and then finally the search was launched," CTV's Alberta Bureau Chief Janet Dirks said.

Days later, a father-and-daughter in Prince George, B.C. walked into their local RCMP detachment to say they had seen an SUV matching the description of the vehicle owned by the missing McCanns -- a light-green Hyundai Tucson with the licence plate ZPK 289.

Police have arrested two men in connection to the disappearance of an elderly Alberta couple, including a 38-year-old who has been called a person of interest by officers.
Travis Edward Vader was arrested early Monday at a residence near Niton Junction, Alta., about an-hour-and-a-half drive west of Edmonton.
An RCMP emergency response team, the Edmonton police tactical unit and the fugitive apprehension team were all on hand for the early-morning arrest.
A second man, who hasn't been named, was also arrested at the residence. Police did not explain the second man's connection to the case, but they said he was being questioned.

But officials at the detachment failed to get the tipsters' phone numbers.
When police realized the tip might be important, they issued a public statement urging the tipsters to return to the detachment.
The tipsters did come back to speak to police and an officer in the detachment was placed on administrative leave as the case is reviewed.
On the weekend, police acknowledged finding the missing Hyundai Tucson which was considered to be a "potential crime scene." Police confirmed Monday that they had completed their search of the recovery site and said the SUV had been examined by the Forensic Identification Unit.
Vader is..F

Quote from xaotik :My first take was to find out what RCMP stood for, turns out it's Royal Canadian Mounted Police.



OK. Let's see this again: Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Yes.

Well, from my experience cops are 75% of the time people who wanted and failed to "become" something else, 20% of the time people who wanted an easy way into an ill-fitting suit of authority and 5% people who genuinely want to help and care. Non-surprisingly, their IQ levels seem to follow the same pattern in terms of distribution.

Bit of info to be fair.

I live in Ontario , thus the OPP or Ontario Provincial Police rule here...RCMP are only invited in if a cop goes bad or a criminal runs to another part of Canada...like your FBI the RCMP acts as an overseer of other forces, but of late, they are not looking to good.

The OPP hold a higher standard, I I will remind you...wasn't the OPP at the G20...that was Metro Toronto cops...the OPP will investigate those ...er...officers.

The very point is...before they plastered the LIC of the vehicle that was missing ( the towed one) they (the RCMP) had people saying to them...I just seen that...was it this LIC Plate...What do I win...

These people are known to me...that's the reason for my passion in this post, at the same time I was hoping someone might actually read the dam post before finding one sentence to comment on.

Like this guy "

I didn't read the original post, but just try and start your own Police force. See how far you get before you're thrown in jail! Don't think you can set-up rival Police forces mate.


Read some of the comments from friends, family, and countrymen.

Ok mate...read the story...it's not one sided, the police had thier say...and so far it's everyone else right and this one force wrong, fire men don't show up at a fire and not question how the hell this got started, again the police chose to ignore them as well.

I said earlier I hate cops...well that's not true, I really don't hate anyone or thing, except those dam cd/dvd wrappers.

The point is...everyone is looking at how bad the case is going and the focus should be on this nice retired couple just going to visit people in their golden years.

Quote from boosterfire :Actually, at least over here, the requirements to become a cop are rather high. They range from very good (over 85% or so) academical results to, obviously, very good physical conditions. And I know that for a fact, I've seen a couple people that successfully applied, and they weren't dumb.

Now, I must say that a cop that comes by a burning vehicle and just goes: "well, let's just call the firemen, that's not our problem" is probably jaded at best, but most likely incompetent.

And, ya, the whole RCMP thing... that dates from the days we were proud to be part of the British empire. So I blame yous sires.

Well said, the training and teachings are provided.

But this just keeps getting madding, I can't Fathom what it must be like to be the family.

Not to long ago they stood outside a bus and watched a crazy man cut the head off 22-year-old Tim McLean.

I think we as Canadians should look to the higher ups in the justice system to make Radical changes to our never tough enough policies, we are just to dam nice sometimes.

But that's just my 2 cents.

Two people who told police they saw an SUV matching the description of a missing Alberta couple's vehicle in Prince George, B.C., say staff at the local RCMP detachment weren't interested in the information when they reported it Tuesday.
"They said, 'Well, that was last Thursday' and we came in on Tuesday and they said it was irrelevant because it was four days ago, five days ago," Diana Bjorklund told CBC Radio in Prince George.
Bjorklund went to the detachment with her father, Evert, to report seeing a vehicle matching the description of the Hyundai Tucson, belonging to Lyle and Marie McCann, who haven't been seen since they bought gas in their hometown of St. Albert, Alta., on July 3.
Bjorklund said they had written the licence plate number down on Thursday, July 8, because the vehicle was moving so slowly. She said she was insulted at how she was treated at the detachment on July 12 and almost didn't go back.
"They never asked our names, our phone numbers or nothing," she said.
On Wednesday, RCMP spokesman Gary Godwin said police were looking for two people who showed up at the detachment and provided good information.
"This couple sounds very credible and the fact that they saw it and they had the plate number leads us to believe that they actually saw the vehicle," he said.
More witnesses come forward

Mounties in Prince George say more witnesses have now reported credible sightings of a vehicle belonging to the missing Alberta couple in the central Interior community.


I didn't mean to imply all our fine officers are this ..well...also, I will change the thread title to better reflect the content

Any Suggestions?
