  1. Two points of information: - if you go with Bell you don't get the local Rogers 22 channel; nice to have for their municipal affairs programming... plus, '67s games! - Rogers still carries HDNet; I love their Sunday concert marathons. An anecdote: - I actually find Rogers support line surprisingly responsive.

    I didn't enjoy last night's episode as much but that's because I knew how it was going to end. :surprise:
  3. Don't bother - the plot and characters are the same no matter the resolution you watch it at.

    NFL 2010

    If you're on Twitter you should follow Colts owner Jim Irsay. http://twitter.com/#!/JimIrsay
  5. Robin Lehner injured against the Team Canada juniors!
  6. Very nice version. I'm impressed! A notch above your typical Dead cover for sure.
  7. A boon to the party every day crowd. The rock'n'roll all night crowd not so much.

    NFL 2010

    It was almost like that was scripted for NFL Films. I suppose a sack is somewhat less ignominious than a pick-six to go out on.
  9. OK Sens, do not let tonight's game be the happy ending for the next episode of 24/7.
  10. Do you have an old VCR, or perhaps a DVD player that burns discs as well? If so you could use the "Copy to VCR" option on the PVR. I attempted one solution for copying from PVR to hard drive, using the firewire port on a MacBook Pro. I was actually able to capture video from the PVR but it was all scrambled. I got frustrated and haven't revisited the project. If anyone has got this working I'd love to hear your story.

    Xmas CD's

    More stuff here... Holiday Music Roundup from Pitchfork: http://pitchfork.com/news/40787-holiday-music-roundup/
  12. Fuck that was a great game last night but it still really stings to have lost it.
  13. One of our cats has had chronic licking/bald patch/hairball/vomit issues for most of her life. The vet has prescribed various treatments over the years: new diet, prednisone, shots, anti-anxiety medication, creams, etc. Nothing really worked. Expensive allergy test revealed nothing. Eventually I got tired of seeing my cat being treated as a guinea pig on my dime so I just stopped taking her to the vet. If not better she's doing no worse than when she was being treated. But, yeah, take your cat to the vet. Hopefully it's a treatable condition.

    The show is loaded with gems like those, the hour just flew by. So cool that they had footage of the Caps/Rangers game that was only 3 days old. I liked the scene with Ovechkin lying on top of Brandon Dubinksy after their fight: Dubie: "Good job buddy!" Ovie: "Good job buddy!"

    If there's one thing I learned last night it's that hockey players like to swear. A lot. Amazing show.

    Short notice but 24/7 starts on HBO tonight at 10 PM. It's a 4 part series chronicling the rivalry between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals leading up to the Winter Classic. I'm sure it repeats during the week if you miss it tonight.
  17. Don't tell me it's the new vinyl!

    BEER!!

    Interesting. I always forget how close I live to the Heritage brewery. They are lousy with the marketing. Hope this improves the local beer scene. As much as I like Beau's I think there should be more than one big kid on the block.
  19. - Disappointed Leclaire didn't get the start; does any other team rotate their goalie EVERY game? Elliott lost that one. Had a good vantage on the last two goals and they were just brutal. - I hope Carkner didn't flick blood, there's no defending that and it overshadows the fact that he broke Boogard's nose. Have not seen the replay. - 16,000 attendance; hate to see how many they draw against a team like Florida. - The once awesome roast beef bar has started skimping on the portions of their $10.50 sandwich; it's never a good idea to nickel and dime customers, but especially not when the team sucks so bad.
  20. Do you think someone like Charles Manson can be saved with a "tweak"? Let's talk real world examples. Sounds awfully simplistic to me.
  21. Ha, ha, ok I'll stop beating around the bush. Where do bad people fit in with this concept of perfection?
