Netflix and Roku I have been asked a few questions about Netflix / and Roku a streaming device.I choose Roku as a buddy of mine recommended it. Also it was one of the cheapest. I bought it at Walmarts Why?- low cost and if it doesn't work you can  always return no questions asked.Now for cost I will break it down. Roku about $90 Canadian @ Walmart Midi cable   $10 Canadian @ Walmart Netflix membership $9 Canadian a month No router tack on up to $100 If you can't do it yourself? Service call $$$? Is it difficult? Moderately if you have not set up computers and attached peripherals this would be a job for someone who does. Remember Netflix does not connect to  any live TV channels.It does play TV shows previously aired also movies . Quality? all are older nothing really present day,but the Video and sound are as good as your present Bell,Star,dish or any cable Network.  Now there is another service called HULU that works the same but provides the same services mentioned above fro

Q: I had a friend who recently died of pancreatic cancer, about three months after diagnosis. Since then, I've heard most cases are caught too late to do anything. Isn't there a way to detect this sooner? Today, 80 per cent of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer already have it in their lymph nodes or beyond. Even for those who have localized disease, fewer than 25 per cent live for five years. But researchers have made some important breakthroughs. And none is more exciting than the discovery in 2012 of a then-15-year-old high-school student named Jack Andraka. He came up with a test strip (like those used to monitor blood sugar) that's infused with a substance that reacts to a biomarker called mesothelin that's present in your blood or urine when the disease first starts. Dip the strip, which costs 3 cents to make, and see results in five minutes. It will very accurately register positive or negative for pancreatic cancer. It seems to make early detection/ screenin

   Not all cancer patients in Ontario are equal (from a Brampton woman) My husband is beginning his battle against cancer. His chemotherapy comes in the form of a tablet that he must take every day for one year. Only chemotherapy drugs administered by IV within, the confines of a hospital are covered by OHIP. Chemotherapy drugs taken orally in your home are the pa-tienf s financial responsibility. My husband's treatment is $8,200 per month, a vast sum for this middle-class family We can apply for coverage under the Trillium drug plan, but will have to pay a deductible. We are thankful that one of us works for a company with a health plan that will cover the full cost of this drug until such time as we reach a lifetime cap. However, in our opinion no Canadian battling cancer should have to go through the process of wondering if they can afford life-saving chemotherapy treatment. No Canadian should have to turn to private insurance through their workplace and wait to see if they can

Netflix is also working to improve its content offerings in Canada, which have been roundly criticized as worse than what’s available in the United States. The situation is complicated by having to negotiate with an extra layer of rights holders in Canada, some of whom also offer online video and are therefore competitors to the company. If you access netflix on any device where you can manually input a DNS server (Playstation, Xbox, Blu Ray player) , you can access the US content by including a US DNS server instead of the default or automatic DNS server. Also, there are many VPN services, which for a small monthly free, will provide you a US IP address from which you can access US content.,. From low monthly usage allowances to poorer selection than in the United States, Netflix has become something of a poster child for internet and media issues in Canada. With a host of announcements at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, it appears that’s not going to get any be

    Q.- I have tires purchased in 2008. They have good tread depth left. Should I consider replacing them? A.- You do not need to automatically replace your tires. After four years, it is time to start checking them regularly for cracks, a sign of hardening rubber. These cracks can be in obvious places, such as spider-web patterns on the sidewalls, or they can appear inside the tread grooves. With a strong light, look into the grooves at the base of the tread blocks and check if there are any separation lines starting to appear. If there are just small cracks, monitor the tires more closely. If the lines start to grow more rapidly, it is time for a tire change. Once tires reach seven years from date of manufacture, I would change them. The industry standard for mounting just two new tires is: best tires on the back .That means new tires always go on the rear, regardless of whether the vehicle is FWD,RWDorAWD. It is a safety issue, and the logic is simple to follow: A car, when it loses
