Golf like Tom

http://tgam.ca/lDN
added 6 minutes ago

The right fitness regimen can lower golf scores and decrease injuries, especially for players in entering Tom Watson years

Walking Turnberry's fairways last week during his near-victory of the British Open, Tom Watson was anything but a tired old duffer. The lean 59-year-old was nailing tee shots and blasting irons, nearly becoming the oldest player to ever win a major. And while Mr. Watson may have lost in a playoff, he is proof, experts say, that anyone who wants to play good golf well into their 50s and beyond better starting paying attention to the importance of physical fitness.

It appears however, that Mr. Ignatieff and his advisers have their own ideas: In their ad, the Liberals are accusing Mr. Harper of a cover-up which the narrator says has until now been far more familiar to other countries.

Or descend the massive staircase that doubles as seating for the approximately 135 employees as they gather for their regular Thursday afternoon sessions in the airy double-storey atrium. That’s when draft beer is served from the on-site taps (Labatt is one of their top clients, along with Honda, Acura and Pizza Hut). Anyone from company founders to junior staff can present what they’ve been working on. Foosball is optional.

When his census position was misrepresented, his resignation transcended policy

In his letter announcing his resignation as Canada’s chief statistician, Munir Sheikh said he wanted to take the opportunity to comment on “a technical statistical issue” that had become a subject of media discussion. The question was whether a voluntary survey can become a substitute for a mandatory census. The answer: “It can not.”

Honour killings in Canada: even worse than we believe

While we focus on daughters and sisters murdered by South Asian or Middle Eastern relatives, scores more women who die each year in domestic homicides go unnoticed

If you are already sufficiently appalled knowing there’ve been 12 despicable “honour killings” in Canada since 2002, don’t read any further. This is only the tip of a nightmarish iceberg, I’m afraid.
