Quebec City vs Las Vegas
by PrancingSkeleton- 17 replies
- 1.2k views
As an avid hockey fan, I've been following the NHL expansion very closely. It seems that the two cities who are competing for a team are Quebec City and Las Vegas. Personally, I'd really like to see Quebec City get the Nordiques back. I'd love to see the fierce rivalry between them and the Canadiens. Yes, Quebec City is a smaller city than Las Vegas, but Quebec has the fans. If you have ever visited Quebec, or anywhere in Canada, especially during the playoffs or Olympics (double double Canadiangold btw for all the Team USA fans), that's all they talk about. When Canada was down 2-0 against the USA with 15 minutes left, my French teacher cancelled the rest of his class so…

"Get your ass up Sparkplug!" the big man ordered as he kick the young boy off the bed into the wall, and slammed into the floor. "How'd... I get.... down..... here?" Spark questioned as he looked up, and across the room "Blokk, oh... I guess.... my..... ribs are....... hurting thanks to..... you?" "We had a meeting and your here sleep, where have you been the last two days?" "Nowhere boss, I had family issues ok-" "-Stop lying! I said no more side jobs, what the fuck did you do?" Blokk stated as a female peeked into the room, holding a gold phone, as he grabbed it and stuck it to his ear "Who dis?" he answered, listening to the dark gurgling voice, " -are you sure…

Country vs City 1 2

Where would you rather live? Close, or in a major city, or away from it, towards the country? There are many pros and cons for living in each area and I'm curious to see what you guys prefer and why and where you actually live now. I grew up very close to the city and have been there all my life. I have also lived in a ski town for 4 months on 2 separate occasions, which is usually a country town but obviously very busy with tourists during peak season and I loved it there. The older I have gotten, the more I realised that I hate the city and pretty much everything about it. I've always thought of eventually moving to the country at one point or another and the main th…

Now that my backyard is done, you all no longer have to hear me whining and complaining about how ugly it was. Not like any of you really cared anyway because you didn't have to look at that eye sore everyday. Our yards are fairly small in Las Vegas compared to others around the country/world. We had a blank canvas to start with since our home was new construction. BEFORE: See? SUPER FUGLY! I had to live with this disaster for almost three years. Where's my award for patience and tolerance? AFTER: Now I get to go patio furniture shopping!! Since we are in the desert, we opted for a smaller patch of grass. It's about 400 sq ft worth,…

We are all only human and sometimes make mistakes, although some more than others This thread is to share some silly mistakes you have made I will start by what inspired me to make this thread, it's not that bad, but I rarely make mistakes (at least that's what I think haha), and this is a stupid simple mistake that in hind site, you go what the hell was I thinking!? Last night I cooked some rissoles in a frying pan and there was a bit of oil (or so I thought) left in the bottom of the pan. I poured it into the sink, over some other dishes as well. I was trying to get some burnt bits of the non stick pan before they stuck.. It turned out to be fat or grease, and I s…

About a month ago, my daughter went to Disneyland with her choir class from school. When she came back, she had this rash/hives on her chest and arms. The dermatologist said it could've been an allergic reaction to the laundry detergent. As the days and weeks go by, her and my son are complaining about bug bites and I chalk it up to the mosquitos that get in the house sometimes. Well...

Memorial Day plans?
by Jaggy- 1 follower

- 836 views
For our United States members, do you have any plans for Memorial Day? Other than remembering our fallen soldiers, we usually just grill some steak and corn on the cob and relax for the day. If we had family members living closer, I'm sure we'd be having small gatherings at a relatives house. There's a lot of people who use it as a reason to get drunk as hell and endanger everyone on the road by driving, so we tend to just stay home or around the neighborhood. If it's not too hot, we might take the kid's to the park. Otherwise, they can just swim in the backyard.

If you plan to get flowers for mom....

for Mother's Day then you need to order them MONDAY!! If you wait you may not get them or get exactly what you want because this is the busiest holiday for American and Canadian florists (dunno bout the rest of the world). Be sure to order them from a real florist and not a box shipper like 1800flowers, proflowers, etc.. FTD and Teleflora are not florists, they merely pass the orders onto real florists but at a price... If you need help in figuring out what to get you can always call our shop and we can help you out so you know what to order. Or you can order thru us and we can send the order to a florist closest to you. (cheaper to order from your florist rather than…

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
