  4. That was a great series. OT Game 7 Playoff hockey? Fuck yeah! The second round has a lot to live up to after that killer first round. Check out this blow-hard after the game was over. What a tool. and he's made these ridiculous statements before too! Big congrats to Carey Price. He was the Habs MVP for sure. Montreal fans can say "Halak who?" now and know that Carey can pull his weight in the playoffs no prob.

  7. http://bit.ly/mLX9UL Phish – Two Soundchecks On Record Store Day, Phish will released TWO SOUNDCHECKS, a Limited Edition 7-inch vinyl record that will be available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores across the country. ‘Two Soundchecks’ marks the band’s first ever live vinyl release and their first release in conjunction with Record Store Day. This 7-inch is limited to 2,000 hand-numbered copies, and once they are gone they are gone. The A-Side is an instrumental jam culled from the soundcheck of Phish’s third show of a sold out three-night stand at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA. The B-Side is an especially exotic soundcheck from Hartford, CT in 2009, featuring Trey on Bass, and Fish on drums. This Limited Edition 7-inch was created exclusively for Record Store Day. mp3@320 Tracklist 01 – August 7, 2010 Berkeley, CA Soundcheck 02 – August 12, 2009 Hartford, CT Soundcheck http://bit.ly/mLX9UL
  8. I think that "blown goal" affected a lot of ref decisions for the remainder of the game. Add in a healthy dose of Bruin player stupidity. Refs were much better in the Vancouver game.

  10. http://bit.ly/hPOsl6 Mumford & Sons – Sigh No More English folk outfit Mumford & Sons’ full-length debut owes more than a cursory nod to bands like the Waterboys, the Pogues, and the Men They Couldn’t Hang. The group’s heady blend of biblical imagery, pastoral introspection, and raucous, pub-soaked heartache may be earnest to a fault, but when the wildly imperfect Sigh No More is firing on all cylinders, as is the case with stand-out cuts like “The Cave,†“Winter Winds,†and “Little Lion Man,†it’s hard not to get swept up in the rapture. Like their London underground folk scene contemporaries Noah & the Whale, Johnny Flynn, and Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons’ take on British folk is far from traditional. There’s a deep vein of 21st century Americana that runs through the album, suggesting a healthy diet of Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Blitzen Trapper, and Marah. That melding of styles, along with some solid knob-twiddling from Arcade Fire/Coldplay producer Markus Dravs, helps to keep the record from completely sinking into the quicksand of its myriad slow numbers — tracks like “I Gave You All,†“Thistle & Weeds,†and “After the Storm†are pretty and plain enough, but they neuter a band this spirited. Sigh No More is an impressive debut, but one that impresses more for its promise of the future than it does its wildly inconsistent place in the present. – James Christopher Monger mp3@320 Tracklist DISC ONE – ‘Sigh No More’ 1.Sign No More 2.The Cave 3.Winter Winds 4.Roll Away Your Stone 5.White Blank Page 6.I Gave You All 7.Awake My Soul 8.Little Lion Man 9.Timshel 10.Thistle & Weeds 11.Awake My Soul 12.Dust Bowl Dance 13.

  11. http://bit.ly/gp4j9d Derek and the Dominoes – Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs [Deluxe Edition 2011] http://www.ericclapton.com/eric-clapton-news/derek-and-dominos%E2%80%99-layla-and-other-assorted-love-songs-turns-40 Two discs-76,57 minutes each approximately. The sound is clean and open-better than past editions, and world’s away better than the original, muddy, vinyl release. The discs snap inside the usual fold-out holder like other Deluxe Editions, except there’s no protective plastic sleeve this time around. The booklet has information about the band, the songs-who plays on what, and includes period photos-you’ve probably already seen the two-page photo-collage from the original gate-fold album. This edition is for people who don’t have the original version of this album from just a few years ago, as far as sound quality. The first disc is taken up with the original 2 LP album. By now most people, if not at least familiar with the music, have owned a copy for many years. Also by now, most people know the story behind the album-Clapton’s intense playing, and the frustrated, heart broken vocals because of his love for his friend, George Harrison’s wife. Nothing really needs to be said about these songs-they speak for themselves. But it’s interesting that when the album was originally released, it didn’t create much excitement. At the time people actually did ask-â€Does Clapton play on this albumâ€? “Is he a sidemanâ€? “Whose Derekâ€? Well, it didn’t take long before several songs became popular through radio play, and the album to be hailed a classic. The second disc is where things get interesting. After playing on “All Things Must Passâ€, Clapton decided that Phil Spector should produce a new album Clapton was going to record. But the single (included here) “Tell The Truthâ€, along with “Roll It Over†was quickly withdrawn by the band. Hearing these sides it’s fairly apparent that Spector wasn’t the right choice for the album. Several tracks from the aborted second album are also here. While they have their moments, the absence of catalyst Duane Allman on guitar is telling. The sound and feel is very different-Clapton needed a good , fiery player to spark him into playing his best. I was lucky enough to hear the band live, and the difference without Allman was very apparent. There were exciting moments, but that initial fire was all but gone. At times Clapton sounded bored-as if he had tuned up and tuned out. “Mean Old Worldâ€, an old blues workhorse, is here with both Clapton and Allman laying into the tune on acoustic guitars, which is a highlight (of several) on this disc. It’s another instance where the rapport between the two guitarists is apparent. Allman was a good acoustic blues player, and here his style blends with Clapton’s into an almost intuitive rendition of this great old song. If you own the 3 disc anniversary set, you know this tune already, but it’s still a great version. The two versions of “Got To Get Better In A Little While†are interesting, and fill in a gap in the group’s discography. The jam version is just that-loose and fluid. The finished version (Bobby Whitlock went back into the studio to flesh out and complete the tune) is simply a more polished sounding song. This great tune has always been popular, and both versions are very worthwhile. But, arguably, the best tracks on this disc are from Johnny Cash’s TV show. During it’s run, Cash had a number of good musical guests, besides his own performances. I still remember the excitement of hearing different generations of great musicians launch into “Matchbox†(especially), and the other great tunes the band played that night. The excitement of the performances could almost be felt through the TV. Many people (like me) have hoped and waited that this great music would get a good, legitimate release. All the excitement, the history, and the dueling musicians, plus the original band’s performance, mark this batch of songs as another highlight on this edition. With now many years of hindsight, the band (originally called “Del and the Dominosâ€) came together in one of those rare moments. The combination of a fully seasoned rhythm section, a fiery yet sensitive guitarist like Allman, good songs (both by the band and outsiders), and Clapton’s unrequited love for a woman he thought he could never have, produced a classic album. With Allman to play off of, Clapton’s playing soared to heights of near abandon, with Allman matching him note for note. His obsession for Harrison’s wife sharpened his writing, singing, and playing skills like never before. Clapton has said that Allman was the musical brother he never had. Their intuitive playing made the band come alive. The first disc is a classic. The second disc shows what the band sounded like without Allman, and the fact that Clapton was losing interest in the band. But there are a number of gems-the acoustic tune, the Cash TV tracks, even the versions of “Got To Get Better In A Little Whileâ€, are all exciting, important additions to the original album. This is one “Deluxe Edition†that’s worth owning in it’s entirety, especially if you don’t own a previous edition that’s been remastered. - Stuart Jefferson mp3@320 Tracklist DISC ONE: LAYLA and other assorted love songs (ALL NEWLY REMASTERED) 1.

  13. Easy setup on the router (just adding a primary and secondary DNS). Bandwidth? No different than downloading all the content. You also determine the setting for resolution. Also, a quick sign-up with a provider like TekSavvy (i'm still waiting) results in bandwidth worries disappearing They've go the pilot episode and then 110 regular season episodes of KITH ... however Brain Candy and their two live performances on DVD have not been made available Kenny vs. Spenny is listed as just 10 episodes from 2002. Just fyi
  14. Holy FUCK i had heard that there was a difference, but damn if it isn't ridiculously better on the .com side of Netflix!!! I'm dropping my .ca account asap after testing out the .com side. It's super easy to get if you're interested. Here's how I did it: 1. Get a quick online Visa at https://www.entropay.com/ I just tossed $20 on for the test 2. Get a trial acc't at http://www.unblock-us.com/ which brilliantly masks your DNS to avoid being seen as a non-US computer. 3. Reboot and go to Netflix.com and get your new account. BAM now you get it ALL! And can access Pandora, Hulu, and all the US networks video streams, etc. That's all.
  15. That was one hell of a game last night.
  16. Crazy shit. Supposedly this app will let you see how detailed the tracking of your iphone is: http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/ from this story: http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/04/20/iphone.tracking/index.html?hpt=T2 (CNN) -- Apple devices appear to be tracking their owners' locations and storing data about people's whereabouts without their knowledge, according to a report posted Wednesday on a site called iPhone Tracker. The unauthorized surveillance started in June 2010, when the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system was released, according to two researchers who say they discovered a hidden tracking file and posted it out of concern for users. Apple has not responded to the allegations. The researchers have posted a program online that will let any iPhone user see a map of his or her location over time, going back to June, when iOS 4.0 was released. The program's developers, listed as Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, say this data is stored on a person's iPhone or 3G-enabled iPad and on computers that are synced with those devices. There's no evidence, they say, that the data is also transmitted to Apple as it's collected. "Cell phone providers collect similar data almost inevitably as part of their operations, but it's kept behind their firewall. It normally requires a court order to gain access to it, whereas this is available to anyone who can get their hands on your phone or computer," they write. "By passively logging your location without your permission, Apple have made it possible for anyone from a jealous spouse to a private investigator to get a detailed picture of your movements." The location data appear to be collected at random intervals over time, using cell phone towers to triangulate approximate locations, they write. They say these data are stored in a file named "consolidated.db," and that it's "unclear" why Apple would collect this information. "One guess might be that they have new features in mind that require a history of your location, but that's pure speculation. The fact that it's transferred across devices when you restore or migrate is evidence the data-gathering isn't accidental," they write on the iPhone Tracker site. Some iPhone users expressed outrage at the news. Sam Biddle, an editor at Gizmodo, used the downloadable program to map out his recent whereabouts, which he says was a frightening experience. "This is a map of everywhere I've been for the last months. Everywhere," he writes on that tech site. "I didn't carry around a tracking device. The FBI isn't sending goons in unmarked vans to track me. All I did was use an iPhone." He adds: "The data itself is jarringly accurate. Even though it appears to rely on tower triangulation rather than GPS pinpointing (meaning you're not safe with location services switched off), the map I was able to generate with mapping software the security duo released visualizes my life since the day I bought my iPhone 4 in July. Everywhere I've been. Bus trips home. Train trips to visit family. Vacations. Places I'd forgotten I'd even gone. Zoom in on that giant blotch over New York, and you can see my travels, block by block. "My entire personal and professional life -- documented by a phone I didn't know was also a tracking device. It's all accessible -- where I've been, and when. I don't really have anything to hide, which is why I don't mind sharing the map. But it's just not right to have no choice in the matter; I don't want this information bouncing around in my pocket with me." Others, including Forbes writer Kashmir Hill, wonder if this feature is "cool or creepy." She decides on "cool," writing that the program is "like a persistent, pervasive, secret location-diary."
