A brief synopsis on how Christmas came to be:

Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman.

B. The ancient Greek writer poet and historian Lucian (in his dialogue entitled Saturnalia) describes the festival’s observance in his time. In addition to human sacrifice, he mentions these customs: widespread intoxication; going from house to house while singing naked; rape and other sexual license; and consuming human-shaped biscuits (still produced in some English and most German bakeries during the Christmas season).

C. In the 4th century CE, Christianity imported the Saturnalia festival hoping to take the pagan masses in with it. Christian leaders succeeded in converting large numbers of pagans to Christianity by promising them that they could continue to celebrate the Saturnalia as Christians.[2]

D. The problem was that there was nothing intrinsically Christian about Saturnalia. To remedy this, these Christian leaders named Saturnalia’s concluding day, December 25th, to be Jesus’ birthday.

ISIS twitter accounts linked to British government servers as announced by hack group Anonymous.

British government responds with
A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: "The government owns millions of unused IP addresses which we are selling to get a good return for hardworking taxpayers.

"We have sold a number of these addresses to telecoms companies both in the UK and internationally to allow their customers to connect to the internet.

"We think carefully about which companies we sell addresses to, but how their customers use this internet connection is beyond our control."

The government did not reveal how much money was made from selling the IP addresses to the pair of Saudi firms, because it regards this information as commercially sensitive.

I got a parking ticket for parking over 3 minutes. My parking expired at 5:12pm and the ticket was issued at 5:15pm. I paid through paybyphone so I know exactly when it expired.

I couldn't add parking through paybyphone so I went to drop in coins when I saw the ticket.

Is it worth risking the $25 to dispute the 3 minutes? I also don't really want to pay $35 for actually paying and going back to add more money.

[MG1]

I had that happen - sort of. I had ticket dropped because I told the operator on phone that I had Dashcam footage with time stamp as proof. I had just purchased ticket albeit a little late. I had ticket number and its time was within 5 minutes of dude putting ticket on windshield.

Was it city or private? Mine was at Burnaby General.

David Bowie Dead at Age 69 After Battle With Cancer | E! Online Australia (http://www.eonline.com/au/news/730083/david-bowie-dead-at-age-69-after-battle-with-cancer)

not sure how relevant he is for most anymore, so I decided against making a new thread but I'm kind of shocked, since he just released his new album and music video

David Bowie has passed away, just two days after his 69th birthday.

The legendary singer's Facebook page posted the tragic news Sunday evening, writing, " David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer."

The statement continued, "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief."

No further details were released at this time.

Bowie is survived by two children: Duncan Jones and Alexandria "Lexi" Zahra Jones.

Yes if you live somewhere where it's consistently below minus 20.
No they don't go on sale. Make a friend that works at a store that sells them for their discount.
Alternatively TNF Summit series is just as warm and often goes on sale 30 to 50% off.

Can anyone recommend a bodyshop that will hoist my car up for an estimate that is not too pricey and have good experiences with them (don't want another vip kinda thing)? Long story short raped the shit out of my underbody and is making clacking noises, loud engine noises among other things.

[SpeedStars]

I know that Canadian tire and most of the other autoshops around here will charge a diag fee for something like that which will be like $150. Not sure if there are any shops that would just hoist it up to take a look since they're pretty much diagnosing the problem for you. Have you checked if you hit the exhaust on anything?

[Galactic_Phantom]

I know I will be wasting a shop's time so I expect to pay something, I was just wondering if there is a reliable shop I can go in and out without a hassle. Not sure about the exhaust, will check tomorrow

I collect ornate stamps, certificates, and documents from an era where that kind of attention to detail was the expected norm. I can stare at the artwork for hours.

We're in a time where everything comes easy, short attention and instant gratification is the norm.

"electronic device ticket"

heres my side of the story: happend on Nov 27 2015

Im first car at intersection on left turnning lane on CANADA WAY and WILLINGDON. turning left to go onto HIGHWAY 1.

so light goes GREEN. I go into the Shell gas station park my car and answered all my messages (because texting and driving is a big NONO for me)
When finished i put phone away and pull out of gas station and make a right to go onto highway. as i make a right. There was a check stop. A cop pulled me over and said i was using an Electronic Device. i argued of course, cop gave me ticket anyways.

so i dispute the ticket and now the court date is arriving soon.
I feel i am completely innocent and shouldnt have to plead guilty to anything.

Jan 30 2016. i got 3 points on my driving record. (first 3 in 12 years of driving)
A lawyer will cost me $1120 to fight and potentially win or lose or do i plead guilty
and pay a lesser fine plus the ICBC's DPP. which is $300 for 3 years. will equal aound $1000.

what should i do Fellas

[6o4__boi]

did you park in a parking spot? or were you just haphazardly stopped within the gas station area?

damn, they're getting faster with court dates...used to take more than a year LOL

[DavidNguyen]

I stopped next to a pump. Just so you know. It has been a year now. Court day is in 2 week.
What I worried about is. Will they prohibit me from driving due to my record

[corollagtSr5]

I thought it was anything over 3 points you had to pay premium. That's how it was 10 years ago. You won't get suspended over 1 ticket in 12 years.

[DavidNguyen]

I thought it was anything over 3 points you had to pay premium. That's how it was 10 years ago. You won't get suspended over 1 ticket in 12 years.

no. if i plead guilty to this second ticket i got. which will give me 6 demerit points . is it better to pay icbc the fee. or get a lawyer? probably lawyer eh

[MG1]

it's about timing........... as in when is your birthday and is it close to the ticket date? You're okay with 3 points in a year. IIRC, it's the ticket date, not the court date. You can call ICBC to find out if you are in the clear or not.

[CRS]

You can potentially avoid points if you get the cop to change the ticket to the vehicle owner in lieu of the operator/driver.

But this would likely come at a price of pleading guilty.

[Hondaracer]

Can you insure a vehicle under your name without being the registered owner?

may sound like a bad idea but i'm thinking of insuring my GF's vehicle as my second vehicle and her the primary operator. She got in a little fender bender a while back in a parking lot and ICBC basically fucked her premiums, had no discount prior and now insurance for a 2008 elantra is going to be like 4000 for a year.. i trust her enough to put it on mine, but if i gotta pay tax or anything to transfer ownership may not be worth it

[StylinRed]

back in high school my dad insured my car and I was listed as the owner, can't recall which one of us was listed as the principal driver, but we were both listed on the insurance sooo, yes?

[GLOW]

Can you insure a vehicle under your name without being the registered owner?


yes. at time of insurance and renewals the owner must be present and provide their DL as well. IIRC they need to sign papers too but don't quote me on that.

[yray]

^but you can own a car without driver license too :troll:

Why not payout ICBC on the bender fender? Her rates still apply as long as shes principal operator.

[murd0c]

That's private property and the RCMP can't give you a ticket for using an electronic device on private property(a law in BC) you don't need a lawyer just dispute the ticket and then speak with the officer before you walk into the court room.

As per MVA:

Prohibition against use of electronic device while driving
214.2
(1) A person must not use an electronic device while driving or operating a motor vehicle on a highway.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), a person must not communicate by means of an electronic device with another person or another device by electronic mail or other text-based message.

Exceptions to prohibition — certain permitted activities
214.4 Section 214.2 does not apply to a person who uses an electronic device

(a) while operating a motor vehicle that is safely parked off the roadway or lawfully parked on the roadway and is not impeding traffic,
(b) to call or send a message to a police force, fire department or ambulance service about an emergency, or
(c) that is configured and equipped to allow hands-free use in a telephone function, is used in a hands-free manner and is used in accordance with the regulations, if any.

I'd bring that up.

[Hondaracer]

^but you can own a car without driver license too :troll:

She backed into a woman who was pulling into the same spot she was in at like 5km/h and the dumb bitch she backed into claimed injuries, so she couldn't pay it out

[Inaii]

Was this before ICBC made the "under 30km/hr no such thing as injuries" rule? I got rear ended (hard enough that the bolts on the other person's license plate indented the bumper (with clear impressions) and they deemed my injuries invalid because they said it was under 30km.

I stopped buying crap and started using Olfa, Made in Japan, knives and haven't been happier. Cheap knives are cheap for a reason. So frustrating when they don't work or worse, fall apart - nothing worse than the blade coming loose and falling out. I get Olfa stuff at Michael's using their 50% off one item coupons.

I had a manual Fit for a daily for 5 years. Fun little car to zip around in on the cheap. Very versatile with loads of cargo space when the seats are down. I've had 3 people all with hockey gear including goalie pads in that little car.

I needed something bigger/quieter so recently picked up a V6 Accord Touring. Has everything I need and plenty of power. S mode is fun. I'd recommend taking a look at them as well. Several 2015 demos currently on the market.

campus sjw's @ it again, the word "master" is offensive

Harvard University in the US is going to remove the word "master" from academic titles, after protests from students who claimed the title had echoes of slavery.

House masters, in charge of residential halls at the university, will become known as "faculty deans".

Harvard Law School is also deciding whether to change its official seal, because of accusations that it is linked to slavery.

US campuses have faced a series of protests over allegations of racism.

Harvard has not agreed that the use of "master" represented a link to slavery, but it has accepted campaigners' calls for a name change.

It will mean changing the job titles of 24 members of staff - but will not affect other uses of "master", such as a master's level degree.

Harvard academics say that the word "master" derives from the Latin term "magister" - a form of address for scholars or teachers. It is similar to terms such as "school master" or "head master".

But protesters have argued that whatever its original derivation, the word now has connotations of slavery.

Student campaigners are also calling for a change in the official seal of Harvard Law School, with a sit-in being held this week.

The seal includes the coat of arms of 18th Century college donor Isaac Royall, who as well as establishing the college's first professorship in law, was a notoriously brutal slaveholder.

Isaac Royall, whose money helped to endow the university, has been accused of burning slaves alive.

A decision on whether to change the seal is expected to be made soon.

Disputes about race and identity have affected many US campuses.

Carol Christ, director of the Center for Studies in Higher Education, University of California, Berkeley, has said that "symbolic fights are always about real and current political issues" and race and diversity remain major campus issues.

"Race is so traumatic and central an issue in American culture," said Dr Christ.

Last month, Amherst College, in Massachusetts, accepted student demands to drop links with its informal mascot, Jeffery Amherst, an 18th Century general accused of advocating infecting native Americans with smallpox.

And there have been sit-ins at Princeton in a bid to rename a school named after Woodrow Wilson, because of claims the former US president held racist views.

Harvard Law School is considering changing its seal because of accusations of links to slavery

The protests by US students are part of a wider international campaign challenging historical titles, statues and emblems.

But further demands for "safe space", where some students have called for the right to study away from attitudes or behaviour they find offensive, have been rejected by university leaders and others who have argued for the importance of protecting free speech.

In South Africa, a statue of Cecil Rhodes was removed from the University of Cape Town, with protesters attacking the statue as an emblem of colonialism and apartheid.

But a call to remove a statue of the 19th Century politician from Oriel College in Oxford University was rejected.

Louise Richardson, the university's vice-chancellor, said students needed to be able to debate and confront "ideas that make them uncomfortable".

March 13th 2:00 am

Most just set their cocks before they hit the sack.

In essence, 6:00 pm will become 7:00 pm. Meh, at least it'll seem like we're getting more sunlight. Pretty soon, we'll have to bring out the old Revscene Holy Grail......... errrrr........ Grill.

[Presto]

If I don't set my cock right, hitting the sack becomes very painful.

[GLOW]

wouldn't that be painful regardless :heckno:

[MG1]

I guess the level of pain involved would depend if your cock has liquor in it or not.

This is why you never buy tickets off Craigslist/Scalpers. I used to run into this all the time when I worked at the Commodore. Always go with the seller to a TM outlet and verify the tickets before purchasing them. If they won't do that, chances are they're fakes. And NEVER buy the printed tickets, only purchase hard copies (after verifying them of course).

Heading up to Whistler for a few days with le gf in 2 weeks.

Few questions, as it will be my first time driving there..

- Rock chips? Should I tape up the car driving up there?

- Current road conditions? Don't have a set of winter tires which I believe are mandatory, but we may just test our luck and hope for no road blocks. I'm currently on Pilot A/S 3s

This seems really sketch to me. If you're going anywhere near a mountain that has snow or even the chance of snow, you need to have snow tires. Especially when you consider a worst case scenario (and that isn't the type of road block you've mentioned).

Seriously? It's people like this who really piss off us locals who rely on the highway, and have to endure closures and death because people are too stupid to run winter tires on a winter-rated mountain road...and drive to the conditions on hand.

So, hypothetically, what happens if you drive up to whistler in two weeks time and the road is dry and safe, but on the day of your departure we get a late March snow or temp drop? Are you going to book into your hotel an extra day, call work and let them know you won't be able to make it? No, you're going to "take it easy" and try and drive home, possibly get in an accident and close the highway off for everyone else who's just trying to commute on the only damned road available to us.

GRRRR

</OldMan>

Seriously, there is a reason they changed the law from "good tires with chains in the trunk" to "mandatory snowflake rated winter tires". It was to try and reduce the number of accidents by ill-prepared drivers.

March averages 279cm of snow over the last ten years, that's more than January or February. And that snow does come down to the village level occasionally, and into the Canyon, and on the Murrin Park hill, and on Powerline hill, and...and...and...

FWIW, if you do have an accident that tire choice may have contributed to it's going to hurt your insurance rates moving forward.

</rant>

Edit: and yes, I 'allegedly' speed on the highway. And yes, I have 'allegedly' occasionally taken a classic on the highway for a day trip on Summer tires in the winter. But speed is a decision made based on road conditions, traffic and potential hazards...adjusted for accordingly. If I've ever driven on the highway on tires which perhaps aren't legal by the winter rules, it's been on a +10C or more day, one-way or on a day trip...and always with a backup plan should conditions change. This Sunday, for instance, I'd love to go to the spring meet on the summer tires. If it's raining or cold, though, I'll be running winter's with crappy wheels.

My annoyance would be much different if you weren't traveling the highway and staying overnight.

[underscore]

What cheeses me off is that I've put good money into ensuring I have a solid vehicle with good tires for going to/from the ski hill and over mountain passes, yet I'm constantly getting stuck behind walnuts who are willing to "test their luck" with their shitty vehicles and shitty tires.

I've had to dodge a few accidents as well, so personally I think anyone willing to risk the lives of others because they're some combination of too stupid and too lazy to do things properly can go fuck themselves. Do it right or don't do it at all, if you can afford to ski you can afford good tires.

*disclaimer: my experience is from driving to Big White and over the Coq, from my understanding Whistler is an easier drive but more unpredictable.

[HonestTea]

Since we're on the topic of driving to Whistler, how are the road conditions during the last week of April or first week of May to Whistler Village?

[CCA-Dave]

Since we're on the topic of driving to Whistler, how are the road conditions during the last week of April or first week of May to Whistler Village?

Historically, very good and summer like. If it rains, it's wet but not snowy or icy.

In general April 1-15 can have interesting moments if it rains, and you have to watch the temps and elevation temps carefully. April 15-30 is basically summer driving with very little to worry about. Wet sea to sky is always slippery sea to sky, especially in Lions Bay, Powerline Hill near Whistler and a few other unique spots regardless of the time of year.

[corollagtSr5]

Lol I remember a few years ago when we had a lot of snow fall, I took my truck to whistler which was fitted with snow tires, and on the way up it was like single file going super slow on two lane highway. I changed lanes onto the fresh virgin lane of snow, paved tracks and all the trucks followed me passing everyone, like a boss.

Another senseless attack on innocent civilians by terrorists.


Fucking losers. Attacking the western world because of who we are and what we represent. Instead of building, they destroy. Worse part, in the name of religion, although we all know it's not. Brainless zombies - weak minded, sheep. Jelly and so full of hate. Find a way of bettering your situation without killing. That takes too much work. "Hey, look, we killed 20, 50, 1000 people today - we are great!"

Rest in peace, to the victims.

Trying to make sense of it all is impossible.

Wifey's car, a 2012 Hyundia Elantra needs her transmission fluid changed

are those 10 minute oil changes good enough for a tranny fluid/filter change? personally i've never brought a single vehicle i've owned to them, but i really dont feel like changing her tranny fluid, and for $110 or whatever they want, i'll pay the difference

[fliptuner]

I wouldn't take a 20 year old Civic to one of those places for a simple oil change.

I suggest calling a few reputable shops to get a quote for an actual licensed mechanic to do it (which most quick lube places are not). Even if the avg quote is 50% more, I'd feel a hell of a lot more comfortable knowing a real shop is working on my car.

is there parcel forwarding company near border?
who can receive package then reship to Canada?

If you're in Coquitlam, I would highly recommend Coquitlam Imports. I'm not sure how busy he is though.

[underscore]

From what I can tell a lot of places don't replace the trans filter, just a drain and fill. Hell the Toyota dealership told me they'd only do a drain and fill on my girlfriends Matrix, so I got my buddies shop to squeeze it in since they seemed to be the only ones willing to do it properly.

There are, but it's not cheap.
The shipping place I use (Security Mail Services) has a sign at their shop for these guys. It says $30 on the sign (which I'm assuming is the price they charge to bring your stuff over the border not including any taxes, etc)

White Rock Courier, Your Cross Border Courier and Freight Carrier &ndash; Delta, BC &ndash; SERVICES (http://www.whiterockcourier.com/services.html)

Maybe give these courier guys a call and see what they can do for you and their price.

You can register online then start receiving packages.
Even if there's a lineup, you can park and walk.

Stupid me, backed into a wall while parking and damaged my bumper. Would this fall under collision or comprehensive coverage? I'm currently roadster, would my insurance go up if I file a claim?

[Presto]

^^^
It's going to fall under collision. It's probably best to get it fixed without going through insurance since you're going to pay a deductible, and take a hit on the CRS (http://www.icbc.com/autoplan/costs/Documents/crs.pdf)

[fliptuner]

Roadstar status is long gone. Look at the CRS chart, Presto, linked, get a repair estimate and figure out which will be the most cost effective.

Some places do it, some places don't, but the fees vary and can be steep. IIRC we paid $300 to drop off an SUV in Saskatoon instead of Edmonton, but we did change it after we already had the vehicle.

For int'l, the drop off fee is going to hurt. The reason is that they are not allowed to rent out the car you drop off if it's foreign plate (some exceptions apply, but for regular rental car, that's the limit). Thus, they can only have someone to drive/tow it back. At least, that how my buddy at Hertz told me.

There are a few chain car rentals in Bellingham, even if you are doing one way, it's going to save you a good chunk of dropoff fee if you rent a US car from US location A, and drop it at US location B.

Just had some Mango Habanero Churches Chicken. Damn good. Almost as good, maybe better than, their Korean BBQ chicken they had last year.

Got 20 pieces of drums for 28 bucks. Added a side of munchers to make it 30 bucks, then used $5.00 off coupon = :fullofwin::chairdance::toot::fuckyea:


Including tax, came under 30 bucks!

Some Churches locations won't allow substitutions, but the location next to Sushi Garden on Lougheed always allow subs. Best Churches location ever.

Don't have coupon? Just look up "churches chicken bc coupons" and show them the coupon on your smart phone.
