I am very saddened by Steve's early death. He did make the world a better place. We are richer for having him and poorer for his passing. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Air Cruise control Variable speed wipers power windows and locks That's about it. For me vehicles are just a way to go from a to b. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Well, my boats would maybe be useful as tenders for some of what you guys are cruising around in but I have a blast out on the water with them. The sailboat I built in 2008 and the rowboat I bought from Sam Devlin in Olympia, WA in April/2011. We have a cabin at a small lake about 1 1/2 hours northwest of Saskatoon SK. My season on the water is pretty short. I have both boats in the city right now. I am doing the spring maintenance now so that as soon as it is warm next year I can get them in the water. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Wow! I have never been interested in riding motorcycles or watching any of the racing but that trailer sure got me interested in seeing the movie when available. Those guys are incredible riders. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I've been using Macs personally and at work for 11 years. I've installed a couple of different AV programs over the years and always wound up taking them off. I really don't worry about viruses on my Macs at all. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

It will be interesting to see if HP winds up licencing Web OS after announcing they were killing their web OS tablet and all web os phones...and then saying well, maybe we'll make some more tablets after blowing out the ones not sold for a $100,000,000 loss. I am very eager to see iOS 5 and the associated services of iCloud. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Real happy with that trade. Heater hasn't done much for the Sharks considering how much he was getting paid. yes, seems like the consensus is that overall, getting Burns and Havlat will be an improvement for the Sharks. I know that letting Setoguchi go was tough, he is a good young player with his best years likely ahead of him but if defense was a higher priority then it should turn out to be a good move. I guess we'll see next year. I am interested in seeing how the Sabres do next year...they have a new owner willing to spend some cash and have made a couple of big upgrades already. I have always thought that Lindy Ruff is one of the best coaches in the NHL who has gotten the best out of the limited hands he has had to work with. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I got what I wanted last week when the Sharks signed Seto to three more years. And then I woke up this morning to find they traded him. It's going to be hard to not root for Seto to beat that new defensemen repeatedly when the Sharks play the Wild next year. Really hard. Stupid fucking Sharks. What do you think of Heatley for Havlat? -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Big trades....Richards and Carter gone from Philly. Devin Setoguchi traded from the Sharks to the Wild the day after he signed a 3 yr 9m deal...that was a surprise! -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I built a sailboat in 2008. I used 2:1 mix ratio MarinEpoxy which is less expensive than the brand names. I also used several System Three products.. EZ Fillet, QuikFair and their water based marine epoxy primer. They were all excellent products and if I ever build another boat I will use all System Three products to ensure compatibility. There are a million tricks to using epoxy to keep it from going off on you....slower hardener, keeping the epoxy in a thin layer rather than a deep layer in a cup, keeping it in an ice bath, etc, etc. If you go to some boatbuilding forums you'll find more information and ideas. You can mix hardeners as well, slow with fast to get medium, etc depending on what you are doing and the temperatures. When I started my boat there was still snow on the ground and I had to build plastic sheet tents with space heaters inside to get my epoxy to cure. It was slow going as it took 24 hours to get it to kick and harden up nicely. The two things you definitely need to do with every batch is measure it properly and stir it properly. If you are off on the ratio you may have a horrible mess to scrape and sand off. Ditto if you don't stir it up well enough. I stirred every batch for two minutes and I used a digital cooking scale to measure every batch as well. If you are unsure of your measuments...throw the batch out and mix a new one. As Jeannie has said...it gets real exciting when your little pot of epoxy starts smoking and turns into a hard little hot puck in moments! Small batches are good ;-) -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

And Tim Thomas wins the Vezina! What a year for him! -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

which city in ND? Let me look it up on Google maps and see which dzs, if any, in Canada might work for you. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

A possible option may be a Canadian dz depending on how close you are to the border. I know that the club in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan had a couple of regulars from somewhere in Montana. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I think the riots would have happened even if the Canucks had won. There were a few people there planning to get the ball rolling (the ones who arrived with hammers and other items) and I have no doubt that many alcohol-fueled "fans" would have joined right in. Once the mob mentality starts.... -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

"When We Were Kings" - The Academy Award winning documentary of the Ali - Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" heavyweight title fight in 1974. "Riding Giants" documentary about big wave surfing. I am no surfer but I found this fascinating. "Gonzo" documentary about Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. "Genghis Blues" - Academy Award nominated documentary about Paul Pena, the writer of "Big Old Jet Airliner", how he taught himself Tuvan throat singing and then went to the Central Asian nation of Tuva to compete in their national singing contest. "No Direction Home" Scorsese film about Bob DyLan's early years. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Not everybody was rioting last night. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

You're right Chuck, Boston played well in all 7 games, Vancouver in only 3 games. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I think the idiots doing the destruction would have done it even if Vancouver had won. These guys just use a large crowd they can hide in as an excuse. What I was enjoying is the fools jumping down on the vehicles being videoed in HD. Hopefully they pay a price for being assholes. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

You know what's sad Grimmie? I don't think the Sedin Sisters really care. Vancouver should trade them and get some guys who would cut their arms off to win a Cup. Edited to add....16 Canadians, 5 or 6 Americans, 2 Czechs, 1 Slovak, 1 Russian, 1 German and 1 Finn on the Bruins. 0 Swedes. Kaberle must really regret waiving his no-trade clause so Toronto could trade him lol. See you next year! -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Grimmie, It may not be why Vancouver will lose....but it sure is why they SHOULD lose. Masterrig - Trying to avoid a penalty when you are down 3 with a minute to play? No, just not enough jam to give Marchand a shot back. So what if you take a penalty....show the Bruins and your teammates some jam. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

it was just announced that the winner of NHL Coach of the Year will win one of Don Cherry's jackets. Runner-up gets two. Game 7 coming up. Marchand punched Daniel Sedin about 10 times at the end of the third...no reponse. He just took it. That is why I cannot cheer for the Canucks. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

And Luongo is gone after 8 minutes and 3 goals. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

2-0 Boston on what 5 shots? Luongo looks shaky. Second goal through the five hole he should have had. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

The simple way to do this is to plug in each iPod. Each iPod is recognized as a different device and you can configure what goes on each one by selecting it in the left hand window of iTunes and then going through the tabs for Music, Video, etc -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Well, the Canucks did pick themselves up and win at home. Up to the Bruins to reply tomorrow night and then get a win on the road Wednesday. Right now, my Conn Smythe pick is Tim Thomas. I don't think anybody else is even in the running. He has given the Bruins a chance to win every game. I can't think of anybody else to even consider. Anybody else got another pick in mind thus far? -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey
