I'm still trying to figure out how Dubya's genes could assist in producing this: http://knuttz.net/hosted_pages/Sophia-Bush-20070425

larry, Sorry, i don't really have an answer for ya. I remember reading about this at some point when i was trying to get an understanding of how it all worked. Conversion from one form to another seems to be a difficult process (but i'm sure it's easy for somebody ) Have you ever tried playing a DTS cd in you player? If you watch a DVD movie, can you hear the audio if you choose a DTS soundtrack? DTS is wayyyyy more common on players than DVD-A. Give 'er a try. Otherwise, you may want to get a new DVD player (one that will decode DTS as well as DivX).

Lame Canucks last night ... not Lame Ducks!

Headhunter is AWESOME in quad!!! DTS and Quad are different. True QUAD was utilized in the 70s to record certain albums. Actually, it was a mixing format. Often the quad mixes of albums differed slightly from their stereo counterparts. You needed a special receiver and speaker setup to enjoy the full effect. Four sources for sound separated from 2 tracks. DTS is a way of mixing 6 discrete channels (l,r, rl, rr, centre, sub) Some are done at the mixing level from the master multi-track recordings. A lot of people are making their own 5.1 mixes with computer software. Many of these sound like shit, but a lot are pretty damn good. THey are done from stereo sources and not "true" 5.1 mixes. I didn't get a chance to compile a list of the ones I have, but I'll try again tonight when i'm at home. The Grateful Dead mixes you are talking about are another type of 5.1 mix called DVD AUDIO. With DVD AUDIO there is NO compression. DTS, however, has compression elements introduced to the mix (kind of like comparing an MP3 to FLAC) Workingman's and American Beauty are INCREDIBLE. It's like the band is playing right in front of you. Each player getting their own speaker in front with crazy rhythm and fill coming in at you from all sides. You have to make sure that your DVD player can play DTS (all new ones do know) otherwise the DTS CDs sound like static

It's in the "plan" First, we take Buffalo, NY ... then, THE WORLD!

Vancouver looked tired. Give 'em a rest and they'll step it up in the next game. Can't believe all the empty seats in Anaheim!

Bob, pm me yer number!

I guess I really didn't remember the lineup. Here it was: CFNY and Molson Canadian Rocks present The Great Canadian Party Molson Park - Barrie - July 1, 1992 * Spinal Tap * Leslie Spit Treeo * Slik Toxic * The Tragically Hip * Sons of Freedom * 54-40 * Bootsauce * Amanda Marshall * Sass Jordan

Hamilton, i was there too. It was back around 91 or 92. I remember Bryan Adams on the bill. There was another band too ... I spent most of that day in the beer tent over to the side. Got hammered in the hot sun. Good times

Christmas With the Devil!

AD, Do you have any of these trading cards??? There's a whole bunch of Queen there that you might like. http://www.bubblegum-cards.com/Rock-Stars/index.html

LOL ... at least Vonage is good about crediting you if you do get a referral. I think i'm going to go back to the $19.99 a month plan. I'm just not using enough long distance every month to warrant th $39.99 plan.

Oink Oink ... thanks Schwa.

Are they giving you anything in return for giving them survey data?? Maybe a free service for a period of time? Maybe $5 off your bill? I'll bet not. They'd rather ask you to take YOUR time to do something for them (really, do you think that it will make a difference to YOUR service???) I always ask that when a phone survey busts into asking questions that will only take "a little bit of my time". Well, I worked all day and I'm not working for nobody when I get home at night unless they are compensating me for my time. Break free from Bell ... it's a liberating experience (mind you, i'm still with them for my cell ... but that may change soon ). Also, it's fun to break free from ROGERS

Sabres/Rangers - I'm thinking Sabres in 6 (and with the violence that you suggest ) Sens/Devils - I have NO idea on this one. IF Brodeur plays like he can, and the Devils defence in front of him, I think that Ottawa is gonna have a bitch of a time with this series. I see frustration and sleepiness. Let's see how the refs call the hooking and interference ... Sharks/Red Wings - San Jose all the way. Don't let Hasek get near that Cup dammit! Sharks are such a fun team to watch. Should be an entertaining round. Canucks/Ducks - Ducks are being labelled as heavy favourites. I'm not so sure. If Vancouver can get on a scoring run and chase Jiggy out of the net, they could really get that underdog momentum working for them. Go Canucks! Get Cheney out to hunt a few Ducks ... just don't be near him when he does.

Baj, You can get your Wilbury fix by going here: http://oink.me.uk/browse.php?search=traveling+wilburys&sort=added&d=d Let me know if you need any assistance .

No worries man ... it was a fun time. They are going to be back in the area in June (out in Whitby at Johnny B's). Hopefully, Martin Levac's band will make it around these parts this summer too

I've got a bunch of albums that have been encoded in DTS 5.1 and some original Quad mixes that have been transferred to DTS. You just burn them to a CD and play them on a DTS capable player (like your new DVD machine). If you're interested, let me know and I can send you a bunch of them on a couple of DVDs.

Vonage ROCKS! There are so many killer features to it (call bursting, emailing voicemail as mp3s, keep your number, no long distance within North America AND Western Europe!!!) If anyone wants to try it, pm me, and I can send you an invite (i did this with SolarGarlic last summer). Not that you need one, but it helps cut the phone bill that much more .

WHAT? How could they do that? Take a word out of a joke/dialogue and it changes the meaning/impact of the joke. No "booger"? That's bullshit: “All right, Cincinnati, it's time for this town to get down! You've got Johnny - Doctor Johnny Fever, and I am burnin' up in here - Whoah! We all in critical condition, babies, but you can tell me where it hurts, cuz I got the healing prescription here from the big KRP musical medicine cabinet. Now I am talking about your 50,000 watts intensive care unit, babies! So just sit right back now, relax! Open your ears real wide and say, 'Give it to me straight, Doctor, I can take it!' Oh, I almost forgot, fellow babies... [color:purple]BOOGER!!!"

Carlson: What's this? Andy: ummmmm ... it's foot powder. -- later -- Carlson: I've got a monkey on my foot! Get it off!
