I don't blame you, I'd want another compressor too. Acklands-Grainger sells Speedair. I would watch CL, though, you can score something nice for a fraction of the new price. Compressors are generally pretty reliable so buying used wouldn't be a concern for me.

Does anyone know if those shaw kiosks in the mall still give out relaplacement remotes for their PVR's?

I have one of the older DCX3400 motorollas and my remote is done

Man, they took 60% of my tools. I lucked out because I had the keys sitting in my ruckus and they didn't take that.. Plus I had some spare tools in another part of the garage they couldn't find. But I lost my brand new snowboard and a shit load of other stuff.

Good luck dealing with insurance. Hopefully you're premiums don't get raped.

then to the drivers, that's such a shitty incident to go through

and then i realized someone got domed

Chinese leaders urge English on Richmond signs

really like this line of logic, instead of wasting tax payers money to regulate something thats not serious they're trying to get the businesses to voluntarily change

Quote:

Calling their effort “The Signs of Harmony Project,” the business, real estate and community representatives are promising to send someone to each business using such signs to persuade them to voluntarily include English in their signs.

The group, which includes four residents of Richmond and three from other regions of Metro Vancouver, is adamantly opposed to Richmond city regulating the language used in signs.

“When you regulate, you penalize. It is not business-friendly. It does not build harmony,” said Kenneth Tung, a former chair of the immigrant society SUCCESS who is president of an information technology company in Richmond.

Music, Blues, Legend B.B. King passed away @ 89

BB King, the King of Blues, dies at 89 - BBC News

Quote:

The "King of the Blues", guitarist and singer BB King, has died aged 89.

King, known for his hits My Lucille, Sweet Little Angel and Rock Me Baby, died in his sleep in Las Vegas.

Born in Mississippi, King began performing in the 1940s, going on to influence a generation of musicians, and working with Eric Clapton and U2.

Once ranked as the third greatest guitarist of all time, he had been suffering ill health in recent months.

He was recently taken to hospital with a diabetes-related illness.

Fellow musicians paid tribute to King, including Lenny Kravitz who tweeted: "BB, anyone could play a thousand notes and never say what you said in one."

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora added: "My friend and legend BB King passed. I'm so so sad, he was so great to me. We've lost the King. My love and prayers to his family."

Former Beatle Ringo Starr tweeted: "God bless BB King, peace and love to his family."

Actor Hugh Laurie said: "Oh God. BB King. Let the sad times roll."

And singer Will Young added: "BB King- the most wonderful blues singer and guitarist. I suggest everyone gets one of his records to hear true soul and spirit."

A former farmhand, King was awarded his 15th Grammy award in 2009 for his album One Kind Favor.

He was also inducted into both the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Rolling Stone magazine placed him behind only Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman in its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

Until recently, King performed in at least 100 concerts a year.

'Heartfelt vocals'

He fused together both jazz and blues on his beloved guitar, a Gibson ES-355 he lovingly dubbed "Lucille".

In the early part of his career, he played to exclusively black audiences, but his heartfelt vocals and undeniable talent saw him embraced by a much broader fanbase as time went on - touring Europe and topping the charts.

Younger musicians such as Clapton and Steve Miller, who admired his work, introduced him to a new generation of fans in the late '60s with hits like The Thrill is Gone.

Albums such as Live at County Cook Jail and BB King in London followed.

His career was reignited in the late 1980s when he duetted with U2 on When Love Comes To Town.

At the turn of the millennium, aged 75, he once again achieved major commercial success with the Eric Clapton collaboration Riding With the King.

"King's is now the name most synonymous with the blues, much as Louis Armstrong's once was with jazz," critic Francis Davis wrote in his 1995 book The History of the Blues.
"You don't have to be a blues fan to have heard of King."

Does anyone know if those Owl figurines work to scare away pigeons and crows? Recently been seeing lots of bird poo on the deck.

Or is there any other methods to deter them?
