that would be kinda creepy sleeping in that. Kinda like being in a coffin

It's way bigger than it looks. It's actually wider than the bed at my last hotel, and the ceiling is high enough to sit up in with plenty of head room. I am 5'11" 210 lbs and found it totally comfortable.

Just wear ear plugs. Japanese people are relatively small, but they snore like mules.

Bodog gambling site shut down, Canadian owner indicted

The gambling website Bodog has been shut down and four Canadians indicted, including founder Calvin Ayre, for illegal gambling that generated more than $100 million in winnings, U.S. federal prosecutors say.

The website's domain name was seized Monday and the indictments, which were returned Feb. 22, were unveiled Tuesday in Baltimore, prosecutors said.

The indictments follow federal prosecutions last year of three of the biggest websites involved in online poker. More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have been frozen, and authorities are seeking $3 billion in fines and restitution, in that investigation.

In addition to the 50-year-old Ayre, who was born in Lloydminster, Sask., prosecutors say the indictment names website operators James Philip, David Ferguson and Derrick Maloney.

Gamblers in Maryland and elsewhere were sent a least $100 million by wire and cheques from 2005 to 2012, the U.S. Attorney's office said, adding Bodog conducted a $42-million advertising campaign between 2005 and 2008 to attract gamblers to the Bodog.com website.

The operation allegedly moved funds from Bodog's accounts located in Switzerland, England, Malta, Canada and elsewhere to pay winnings to gamblers. The four Canadians each face up to five years in prison for conducting an illegal gambling business and 20 years for money laundering. Bodog.com faces a fine of up to $500,000 for gambling and money laundering. Initial appearances for the individuals have not been scheduled.

Marcia Murphy, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Baltimore, said the four are not in custody and no attorneys had indicated by Tuesday afternoon they are representing the four or Bodog. Spokeswoman Vickie LeDuc said later Tuesday that arrest warrants had been issued for the four.

Ayre posted a statement on his website Tuesday saying that his company did not take U.S. bets.

'Bodog UK, Bodog Europe and Bodog Asia have never taken bets from the US. The BodogBrand is currently consulting with its legal advisers with a view to having the domain returned.'—Calvin Ayre, Bodog founder

"Bodog UK, Bodog Europe and Bodog Asia have never taken bets from the US," the statement said. "The BodogBrand is currently consulting with its legal advisers with a view to having the domain returned."

The statement also said the Bodog domain has not been in use since operations were switched from Bodog.com to Bodog.eu by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group and The BodogBrand.com revoked its licensing agreement with MMGG on Dec. 15.

In a statement on CalvinAyre.com, Ayre wrote, "I see this as abuse of the US criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large US corporations. It is clear that the online gaming industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents it is also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion."

An affidavit filed along with the warrant to seize the site said investigators created accounts with Maryland addresses and received checks in the mail for winnings. The affidavit also said investigators interviewed a former Bodog employee who named top officers and directors and said the company had hundreds of employees in Canada and Costa Rica handling day-to-day operations.

"Sports betting is illegal in Maryland, and federal law prohibits bookmakers from flouting that law simply because they are located outside the country," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "Many of the harms that underlie gambling prohibitions are exacerbated when the enterprises operate over the internet without regulation."

Prosecutors say the investigation was led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations in Baltimore and also involved the Internal Revenue Service, Anne Arundel County Police and Maryland State Police. HIS agents seized the domain name on Monday.

Boy, those two women are not helping their side by acting like a bunch of sore pussies. They've got their heads so far up their vagina's, their ovaries have stuffed their ears.

I don't think it's fair to women, in general, that those two are speaking on their behalf.

I stopped watching about half way through, because their screaming was too much to handle.

To be fair, if I bled a few days a month down there with cramps and shit, I'd be cranky, too. Thank god I was born a dude.

Province rejects $35-M proposal to rename BC Place
Jobs and Tourism Minister says name is 'iconic'
Jesse Johnston Mar 07, 2012 15:24:55 PM

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - BC Place Stadium isn't getting a new name.

The province has rejected a $35-million naming rights deal with Telus.

Jobs and Tourism Minister Pat Bell says people like the name as it is.

"We finally have come to the conclusion that the importance of that iconic name, BC Place, outweighs any value that we would get associated with it."

Telus says it's disappointed with the government's decision but is still working on a deal to install equipment in the stadium.

a Doctor in Japan made a video of him cruising/speeding in his 458 Italia last year

and he was picked up

BBC News - Japan: YouTube Ferrari driver faces speeding charges (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17324146)

Japan: YouTube Ferrari driver faces speeding charges


A doctor in Japan has landed himself in trouble with the police after posting footage of his drive in a Ferrari sports car on YouTube.

He is facing charges of exceeding the speed limit after the footage showed him driving at 124km/h (77mph) in a 40km/h (25mph) zone, police say.

The 50-year-old doctor, from Okawa in Fukuoka Prefecture, was reported to police by angry YouTube users.

He reportedly said he "wanted people to understand the beauty of a Ferrari".

The six-minute video is titled "Ferrari 458 Italia Drive in Japan 2011" in Japanese, and was filmed using a camera positioned behind the driver.

It shows the car leaving an underground car park and driving along highways and coastal roads in Fukuoka, southern Japan, on the morning of 24 April 2011.

At least 84 people marked dislike under the YouTube posting, compared with 19 likes.

Police said they were tipped off about the video in May and began investigating, the The Mainichi Daily News reports.

According to the newspaper, the police determined the speed of the car based on the distance covered and the time elapsed.

A police spokesman told the AFP news agency that the driver was identified from the footage, and he could face a six month jail sentence or a fine of up to $1,220 (£778) if convicted.


I think what got them mad (and why he was picked up) is the speeding through the narrow streets of the seaside with pedestrians/cyclists walking and traffic parked

US soldier kills Afghan civilians in Kandahar

A US soldier in Afghanistan has killed 10 civilians and wounded five in Kandahar province after suffering a breakdown, officials say.

He left his military base in the early hours of the morning and opened fire after entering local homes; women and children are said to be among the dead.

Nato said it was investigating the "deeply regrettable incident".

...

The BBC's Quentin Somerville in Kabul says the death toll could rise as high as 17.

A delegation from the provincial governor's office has arrived in the village to determine what has happened, a spokesman said.

After carrying out the killings, the soldier reportedly handed himself over to the US military authorities.

Oh no! A $1,220 dollar fine! How will the poor Ferrari owner make ends meet if such a stiff penalty is imposed.

I really wish the rest of the world would take heed to the European style system of income based traffic fines, especially British Columbia, it makes so much more sense and is effective and fair.

Black Teen Shot, Killed By Neighborhood Watch - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1CcVCoU-elc#)!

The shooting happened over a month ago!


this is the guy who shot him he's 26yrs old or 28... (2 reports with conflicting ages)

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/03/10/article-0-121B7BC1000005DC-200_306x423.jpg

that's a mugshot from 2005 when he was arrested for resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer (those charges were dropped)


Zimmerman told police officers that he had shot Martin and officers found a semiautomatic handgun on him. The report said that Zimmerman's back was wet and he was covered in grass as if he had been on the ground. He was bleeding from his nose and the back of the head, the report said.
Arrested: George Zimmerman was arrested in 2005, but the charges were later dropped, reports show

A police officer said he overheard Zimmerman say, 'I was yelling for someone to help me but no one would help me' while he was being treated by paramedics.

Zimmerman has been interviewed three times and is cooperating. He is claiming self-defence, even though he was following Martin, police said.

1) its a mixed gated community

2) the neighbourhood watch guy was told to stand down by 911 dispatcher, he didnt listen

3) the shooter was charged/arrested in the past for resisting and assaulting an officer

4) the 17yr old deceased was on the football team

5) sounds like the shooter was involved in a scuffle with the deceased (was probably heckling the kid and got into a fight with him)

6) shooter had a semi-automatic gun on him (dont know the laws in florida about that but the families attorney is like "wtf???")

7) shooter is cooperating with police and claiming self defense

8) 911 tapes havent/wont be released because the police don't want to cause witness bias

so this is international news now


a Doctor in Japan made a video of him cruising/speeding in his 458 Italia last year

commenters got pissed and informed the police the investigation started in May of 2011
and he was picked up

BBC News - Japan: YouTube Ferrari driver faces speeding charges (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17324146)

I think what got them mad (and why he was picked up) is the speeding through the narrow streets of the seaside with pedestrians/cyclists walking and traffic parked

dianne watts wants tolls on all bridges in the gvrd

so as to lower rates on the bridges into surrey/langley

Watts wants bridge tolls to be spread around Lower Mainland - News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/news/local/article/340672--watts-wants-bridge-tolls-to-be-spread-around-lower-mainland)

Watts wants bridge tolls to be spread around Lower Mainland
Says plans for more than $3-toll on three new bridges unfair

SURREY (NEWS1130) - The mayor of Surrey says plans for tolls on the new Golden Ears, Port Mann, and Patullo Bridges are unfair to people who live south of the Fraser River.

Dianne Watts says it's not right to charge more than $3 per crossing on the the Golden Ears and two other new bridges expected to be done in the next few years, and wants to see commuters across Metro Vancouver paying smaller tolls instead.

"That is really restrictive, and I think that if it is going to be fair and equitable, then we need to make it either 75 cents or $1 and spread it around [to all bridges]," Watts says. "Let's be smart about it. Let's make sure that it's fair and equitable across the region, that the people south of the Fraser are not being penalized."

She says TransLink and the province need to work together on tolling policies for crossings around the region, and is also renewing calls for light rail rapid transit in Surrey as a cheaper alternative to a new SkyTrain.

"We're continuing to have those conversations with the Minister of Transportation, and hopefully we can come to a point where we can have something that's fair and equitable," she says.

Last week Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said tolling all Metro Vancouver bridges and tunnels is unlikely to happen while he's in office.

In September of 2011, the MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam quit to take a job at the Vancouver Board of Trade. Ever since then, the 45,995 residents of Port Moody-Coquitlam have been without a representative in the BC Legislature.

In January, the MLA for Chilliwack-Hope also resigned, leaving 43,720 constituents without a voice.

Today, 90,000 British Columbians have no elected representative because Premier Christy Clark refuses to call these by-elections.

Posted in the meet forum but there's more traffic here: "Hey all, I don't post too often, but I planned on heading out to TBC tonight with a friend for the Endurance race. Unfortunately, they need a minimum of 4 racers to call in advance to run it and so far they only got us 2. It would be kinda lame if it didn't happen so if there's anyone on here who would be able to make it, that would be sick! I haven't done the endurance race before but I'd assume there would be a lot of track space for those who want to set a really good laptime. Cheers!"

I'm looking for a 4x2 bag. Something similar to a hockey bag but does not really need extra pocket. I need it to carry around some of my camera gear so it has to be made out of some decent material to support the weight.

4 feet long by 2 feet wide by 2 feet tall. Height could be a bit smaller though.

Yes! like a hockey bag but every sports store that I've been to does not carry 4 foot long bags. The closest was 3.5 I think. My old hockey bag is 3feet.

Yes, something like a duffle bag will do.. something along the lines of this...

This reminds me of a paper that I had written a while back regarding the use of vocabuarly and how it shapes human thoughts. I read about this study on a group of Amazon tribes known as Piraha people. Their conceptualization of "numbers" is very different from the English language or any other language, as they do not hv translations for "number words". Instead they use specific vocab to describe small number of objects (hói), hoí for larger number, and baágiso for an even larger number. So with the lack of specific vocab for number words, it became an immense impact on their cognition and capability of counting numbers when needed to be translated into English as their answer would be approximate and based on educated guesses.

There are many more vocab that do not exist in English. One other example i can think of is in Japanese, they have specific vocab for shades of colours, e.g. mizuiro for "light blue" or ao for dark blue, unlike in English where we do not have single vocabs to describe shades of colours. Because of this, English speakers are not accustomed or programmed to characterize specific shades of colours as accurately as Japanese people; hence our perception of colour in the world may be shaped differently simply because of limitations in vocabulary.

But...... in Japanese ao could be green or blue

I took a friend to the cancer clinic on 10th ave. today. Had to wait a couple of hours, so I decided to hang out at City Square on 12th and Cambie. Parking there is free if you shop at Safeway. Anyway, I was sitting at one of the tables just outside Starbucks, taking advantage of their free wifi.

I'm deep into surfing the net when I smell something real nice. I look up and see these gorgeous legs. Stockings to be exact. Lace........ mmmmmm. This chick is like bent over looking for something in her rolling cart. As I look higher, I catch a glimpse of her face. OMFG, she was a godess! Damn. I was like, :ahwow:

There I was with my iPod and I couldn't even take a pic...... kind of creepy, I know, but if I had, all of you would forgive me in an instant. Godess is the only word I can use to describe her. All that was missing was cool music and rays of sunshine coming through the glass wall.

Then I notice this place is full of beautiful women. I go upstairs and it all made sense. Blanche McDonald. When I retire, I am going to get a job as a custodian at this mall, LOL.

Tells me she didn't hit me until I point out the scrapes on the bumper...then she starts apologizing non-stop. I exchange info and she's still blabbing about how she just woke up and she's tired and didn't realize she hit me. I tell her I'm late for work, and she pulls open my door to keep blabbing about how she's sorry and if she'll have to pay for any damage. I tell her that ICBC will contact her. Getting ready to pull away and she's still knocking on my window asking if everything is okay? WTF? (And yes, mainland chinese driver in Richmond)

The BS part of it is, that because you caught up to her, they might not charge her.

Happened to me a couple of years ago when my GF's car got hit and run. I chased the guys down but since I forgot my phone in the rush, I couldn't call the cops from where I found them and had to force them to come back to the scene. ICBC said because they came back (regardless of how/why) they wouldn't be charged. Hopefully, since you guys exchanged info at a different scene, there's a chance she'll get screwed.

Quick update. Nothing will happen as you mentioned b/c I ended up catching to her. ICBC person actually suggested if it happens again, to let her go and just get her license plate haha. Anyways, apparently the other person called in the claim already and accepted 100% responsibility, so my deductible is waived.

Try drinking more water and cut out caffeine. When I have too much caffeine I feel very light headed and 'high' -- like I'm disconnected from everything around me. Very hard to explain but sounds like you're in a similar situation. Usually tons of water/gatorade helps.

Maybe caffeine crash?

Something I learned a few weeks ago @ Starbucks
"Light" coffee - strongest caffeine content ; "Darker" roast - weakest caffeine content.

I usually get a Grande Mild, but was crashing for some reason, I found out the newly introduced "Blonde" is now a "Mild" (stronger caffeine) than "Medium"

Flipping through channels and come across the 2012 spring sumo tournament on NHK. I always liked the sumo wrestler from Estonia, Baruto, ever since he won the New year's sumo tournament. Baruto was hoping to get promoted to Yokozuna ranking, but did poorly at this tournament. I guess he stays as ozeki ranking.

The championship was won today by the wrestler from Mongolia, Yokozuna Hakuho Sho. The deciding match was awesome. It looked like the opponent of Hakuho Sho was done for when he was at the edge of the ring and about to be pushed off. Bent backwards and about to fall back, he picks up Hakuho Sho (340+ lbs) and uses him as a counterweight. He gets back into the ring, but eventually loses to Hakuho.

I don't really follow sumo, but find it intriguing nonetheless.

"You can get your Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino venti, grande or tall. You just can't get it without insects, to which it owes its pink and rosy color.

In what the company, in a statement, says was a move intended to reduce its use of artificial ingredients, Starbucks has started using cochineal extract to supply its Frappuccinos' strawberry hue. Cochineal extract is derived from grinding up insects, the dried bodies of cochineal bugs, found primarily in Mexico and South America.

Cochineal is considered safe by the FDA, and is widely used for coloration in jams, preserves, meat, marinades, alcoholic drinks, bakery products, cookies, cheddar cheese and many other food products."

Anyone up for a 4D mindfuck this morning? Spotted this on my G+

Let's do a bit of 4-dimensional geometry. Here's a movie of a rotating 4d hypercube, also called a tesseract. Of course it's projected down to 3d space, and then drawn in perspective on your 2d computer screen. But notice that just as a cube consists of 2 squares with edges drawn from the corners of one to the corners of the other, this consists of 2 cubes with edges drawn from the corners of one to the corners of the other.

We can use this pattern to work out a bunch of stuff:

A square has 4 corners, a cube has 2 x 4 = 8 corners, and a tesseract has 2 x 8 = 16 corners.

A square has 4 edges, a cube has 2 x 4 + 4 = 12 edges, and a tesseract has 2 x 12 + 8 = 32 edges. (Here the +4 comes from the fact that a square has 4 corners, and the +8 comes from the fact that a cube has 8 corners.)

A square has 1 square, a cube has 2 x 1 + 4 = 6 squares, and a tesseract has 2 x 6 + 12 = 24 squares. (Here the +4 comes from the fact that a square has 4 edges, and the +12 comes from the fact that a cube has 12 edges.)

A cube has 1 cube, and a tesseract has 2 x 1 + 6 = 8 cubes. (Here the +6 comes from the fact that a cube has 6 squares.)

I'm not being ultra-systematic here... but if you get the pattern, you can work out how many things of each kind a 5d hypercube will have, and so on. If you get stuck, try this:

Hypercube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube)

By the way, only non-mathematicians call a 4d hypercube a 'tesseract'. Science fiction writers love that term, but if you want to impress your mathematician friends, say 4-cube instead.

If you drive and live or work in Richmond this is a great opportunity to save money. I am only taking on another 100 or so customers, so first to e-mail with their phone number will get the deal. The gas comes from the states and is 89 grade. I am able to meet you anywhere in Richmond in my truck and fill your tank up up faster than a gas station with an 80 Litre/minute pump. The meter will tell you exactly how much gas has been pumped. Only taking on a limited amount of customers; please e-mail with your phone number if interested.

Saw this little conversation on my Facebook news feed, made me lol.

Friend: Had a fantastic Earth Hour:)♥

Idiot: That s funny. Getting the message out via Social Media created more damage to the Planet than a non-observance of said hour would have done. Y'all need to rethink your medium and delivery. =-D

Friend's Friend: So help us out dude and tell us what your doing to help the planet.

Idiot: Don't EVER call me "Dude", (Most especially NOT to my face. Where I come from a "Dude" is no better than a nigger and I detest ALL whom use either term - got that, Dumbass?) - you sincerely will not like my reaction. At all, at all.

I recycle, I forsake, I provide, I care. I tithe more salary to the poor and the environment in one year than you could in 150 years.

If that is not enough for you - well, then it sucks to be you, and you are simply NOT doing enough.

So bite me.

Friend's Friend: I just asked!! You obviously have the class of a Pickton family member. I detest people whom put others down for the sake of there own ego. As far as your reaction is concerned who on this earth would possibly give a damn least of all me.

Idiot: You asked a serious question and I gave a serious answer. Don't like the response, don't ask the question. You want to challenge someone, especially a Veteran - be prepared to be challenged back, and in spades. Or as we used to say: Prepare to defend yourself!

I have met and know the Pickton family. Your use of their name in your response shows that you are fully inarticulate and incapable of championing the very quest you "supposedly" represent.

Sound-like to me that you do what you do to get out of being socially responsible and socially contributing. But then, that's just me.

The worst customer service experience.

Lowe's.

A couple of months ago, I went in to have some blinds cut. This woman goes about her task, and its taking forever. She's trying to fill my order while at the same time help people in the department. That's fine.

And hour later, I go and there is now 2 people and they seem to be struggling a bit with the machine and its measurements. I kind of talk them through the logic of the math so that when I get home, the shit actually fits.

Now, this month, I go in for the same thing. Same woman is working. Tell her what I need and ask how long. About 30 minutes.

OK. Off I go.

I go back an hour later and she's all stressing at the machine and there is a pile of broken merchandise next to her(I'm assuming cut to the wrong size).

At this point, I figure that I was super nice the last time. So I start asking some more pointed questions.

"So how much longer now?"

"Oh, it shouldn't be too long...I got slammed blah blah blah. I just need a bit of time to complete. "

"Ok, well, you've already had a bit of time here and I have 1 set of blinds and a pile of garbage."

Ok. So I was a little mean.

And she starts losing it. She tells me that she's diabetic, and has low blood sugar and needs to eat. I wish 'they' would have a few extra people here, y'know.

"fuck"

So she's actually swearing in front of me.

Finally, she throws her arms up, says she can't do it, and walks away!

Yes! Broken. Finish him!

So I went and talked to the floor manager and he kind of already knew what happens with her in the department and just kind of rolled his eyes and said, "we're working on it"

Offered up a $50 gift card for my trouble.

THEN..it took an another like 10 minutes to even get the card!

If you are offering something because a guy, on the clock I might add, has been in your store for 90 minutes...snap to it people!

Good god.

Thankfully, the only thing I buy there is vertical blinds because they can cut them to size and hardi backer board because its cheap.

Their wood is also mofo expensive. I had plenty of time to compare price :)

I like Lowes. Been there all of three times, but man, they have a really good selection. And, they're stocked up. I give it 6 months and they'll be like Home Depot is now. Home Depot's shelves are bare. Looks like nobody orders stuff.

I remember when Aikenhead's (before Home Depot) opened up. They had people at every aisle.


Next time, Gridlock, ask the lady when her shifts are. When she asks why you want to know. Tell her you want to avoid bad service. She's probably too dumb to figure that one out.

Not surprising, it's the same issue every big box construction store will perpetually have.

The people they hire lack even the most basic knowledge required to work in the departments they are typically placed, but the companies expect a brief computer guided learning session will equip them to answer all sorts of questions. So they place them alone in a department and expect them to succeed, but inevitably they just flail about all confused. The employees often are less equipped to answer questions than the customers themselves. Doesn't work, never will.

Still miss those cashiers from when I worked at Home Depot.

Looking to buy theses goggles, and planning to have it shipped to point roberts but it only asks for a billing address. They dont seem to separate the billing address and shipping address. Is it possible to just put in the point roberts address or does the billing address have to be the same as my credit card address in order for the transaction to go through?

yeah, I mean I've bitched about hd too...right in this thread, but this took the cake of bad service.

I don't know...I'm a pretty logical guy. I go in and know what I'm looking for and what I'm doing. I get annoyed when they question me, which has happened a few times, but don't want to be so arrogant to believe that I can't make a mistake.

I mean blinds. IT'S BLINDS! When I went to HD to have the ones for the windows cut, I gave her the measurements and she asked, "do you need to account for any space?" I tell her, "the math is already done, I need the finished measurements to be this."

"Ok. Give me 10 minutes."

I'm not trying to send the blinds to the moon here.

Watching this lady melt down was just hilarious.

You can always tell what the place is like to work for by how the people are on the floor. I know that Canadian Tire must be a hell hole. Why? I've never seen a smile on their face.

Dino went with me to HD last night and was trying to help me think if there was other stuff that I needed. She engages a ldy who starts walking her around the store and won't leave us alone. It didn't help that the store was closing in 10 minutes.

She comes back rolling her eyes and I just say to her, "now you get it? NOw you understand why I come home rolling my eyes?"

Good customer service shouldn't chase people out of the store.

Oh, and if anyone is looking to buy any wood, don't go to Lowe's. So mofo expensive. HD is pricey, their molding is ridiculously expensive, and Lowe's makes that look cheap.

Usually your billing address has to match what is on file with the credit card company otherwise the transaction will fail.

Yeah, you compare that to people that say, "yeah, its time for a new car...y'kno, its getting older and things are starting to go wrong with it"

Yes...so your solution to a $100 battery is a $500/month car payment. A $300 muffler? A $500 car payment.

I can see the logic there.

Just be honest..."I want to look awesome by driving new shit."

Should I be sad if I thought he was already dead?

Like, I'm a little relieved he WAS alive when I thought he was dead, but now he's still dead.
