After watching the Zeitgeist video, posted here in a thread titled "another theory about the bible" and pulling the long haul to the end of the video, I was floored by the section on the history of the american banking institutions. I decided to check the sources. Anyway, I fell into this pile of awesome, enjoy!

The Fascist Nazi interests of George W Bush's Grandfather, Prescott Bush, as he and others attempted to overthrow the US government the 1930s to install a fascist dictatorship.

I've had the privilege of playing a show with JD in Toronto last year and hearing the material evolve. Blake will remember this as the show I punched a hole in a wall and that we fought on stage. Well, the tracks JD was dropping was some sort of vocal-less variation of this forthcoming stuff.

Original beat-smith for the first Junior Boys records, his stand-alone mutant 2-step style fused with the bowie like vocals of San Serac makes for some very infectious pop. There are more tunes forthcoming, I can flex that I heard em, but they got one hosted on myspace now:

Check it out!

Mayday, are you pregnant?

Running from a gun only gets you shot in the back.

I know how to fight, it doesn't mean I will win a fight. I've seen guns pulled, knifes pulled, people stabbed, people hospitalized with crowbars, people thrown down stairs, parties taken hostage by drug dealers, i've never been any of these dudes and I've always managed to break up fights. I also make it a point break up fights, violently if I have to.

Unless the situation is agreed on, and competitive, fighting is retarded. It solves nothing. I agree you have to learn to defend yourself. But the best defense is always the diffusion of a situation.

It's like a bomb. You can absorb impact if you have to, but if you can diffuse it, then everyone wins.

Always diffuse.

That is to say defuse. Although diffuse works too... on an existential level?

Anyway, some guys like to fight. Angels on a hip-hop / r&b in the late 90's was always the fist pile and it's not like they saw the error of their ways. I'm still friends with a guy who was beating the shit out of people all the time. He's more chill now, but still enjoys fighting. Same thing with all the skids and steelworkers in Hamilton in the early part of that decade. But message board tough guys... this ain't the place. You can't come back with fists in the realm of the written word. Step up your intellectual game. You ain't winning with empty threats.

Je suis pour l'idée d'un pays du modèle socialiste du genre finlandais / norveigien. Mais je m'en fou de la langue, la poutine, la cabanne a sucre de mononcle skidoo donc ce pays nord amercain théorique pourrais exister. J'ai de la dificulté a imaginer un success francophone Québequois. On est pas mal collectivement parreseux et pas mal un 'Texas Français' - donc, eux aussi, i.e. le Texas, ont des racines séparatistes... et je ne peux pas dire que je voudrais habiter dans un Texas libre.

Pour un nombre important de municipalités ontariennes plus petites, la proportion de francophones est majoritaire. Quelques exemples sont Hearst, Kapuskasing, West Nipissing, St-Charles, Clarence-Rockland (la ville ontarienne qui compte le plus de Francophones en pourcentage, 75%), Champlain et Hawkesbury. Encore plus pour le Nouveau-Brunswick, meme chose dans l'ouest du Canada.

Je suis ex-franco-ontarien. Oui, parler en francais a l'école hors classe en Ontario ca fait un peu loser, mais nos racinnes d'ouvrier pauvres sont evidante et notre culture unique à nous meme. C'a fait 10 ans que j'habitte à Montreal et c'est toujours la meme choses. Les quebecois ont la dificulté à comprendre que les non-métropolles s'en fiche de politique et que la culture francophone existe en forme mutante hors du nationlisme Quebecois. Et c'est un miracle que je parles sans accent, avec un accent jouale comme celle de mon grand pere nord-ontarien. Je passe presque comme un quebecois! lol

In any case, anglos, suck it up. Learn french. Boo hoo, it's tough. But rest assured french speaking quebecois are just as big the asshole to anyone who's not pure-laine. I would say they are the minority and a dying bread. You'll meet assholes in France, you'll meet assholes everywhere. Giving up on french won't solve anything. Just keep trying, and stop whining?

Cheers.

Has anyone else been keeping up with this?

For the last 6 months I've been watching this stuff on YouTube The participants accuse each of stealing their city's dance styles in the comments. I ordered a DVD called "Detroit vs Chicago Jit vs Juke" and got it today.

[ hardcoredetroit.biz ]

These styles are insane, and I can no longer tell them apart. This video is, literally, ghetto. They have a Chicago showcase where I'm feeling the Juke, but then what looks like to be Detroit X-Men from the previous showcase are dancing in the Juke showcase, evidently doing the Jit? Then the battles break out and it's psycho. The music is pretty awesome too. A lot of old jungle beats and crazy techno music with bass distorting the camcorder that makes everything sound like shit, but must have been hella loud at this event. The ladies are doing some crazy belly dance crump and at at many points it looks like a hartdcore show but the dancing is way better and more insane.

Search for Detroit Jit or Chicago Juke on Youtube. Also check the comments sections... Before getting this video I thought I understood the differences in the style and was a fan of the Jit. But now I'm completely lost.

I'm down for a dance session after watching this. I need to learn these styles!

WTF, this was yesterday? Should have bumped a MTLDNB thread and I would have showed up. I totally forgot about this but was thinking about it for months as the line-up was classic.

Sorry.

Upon further inspection I now see it was properly bumped sp I guess I just completely flaked out... :-(

I slept through communism and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

I didn't get to see the pictures. Host One, can you post them again?

I finally got off my ass and restocked the record. Considering the new location is one measly block away from where I live, I have to pat myself on the back for procrastinating. Also, I picked up "Rammer - Cancer" on vinyl. I

Thanks for the help.

Edit: Thog, is there a reason you chose a Windows server and not a Unix server? Does PHP/Apache come pre-installed or did you install it yourself?

Any opinions on [ www.aztus.com ] ?

800 gigabytes a month? Is that true? What's a site like 33mag, serving videos, doing? Or digg/slashdot for that matter?

Nerd alert.

I'm looking for stats about hi traffic websites. How much does this shit consume in bandwidth? And what are the associated server costs? Sites i'm thinking are along the lines of [ rave.ca ] [ terminus1525.ca ] [ 33mag.com ] [ stillepost.ca ]

Anyone have any idea?

Furcoats, dubstep, and ragga jungle in the back room of some sketchy fripperie!

This is sooooo going to rule.

Get in on this, the venue is totally crazy.

I'm even more less non-competitive!

I'm more non-competitive!

The replies from seemingly real emo girls who agree with her are funnier, also scarier.

Fame whores.

My IP is banned. This is the solution:

In the cms_security table (mysql database), you will have to look for the record where you are banned and delete that record. Sorting by the ban_time column might help locate the record.

I believe this stuff now is disabled, Mayday handled the interface part, but leftover bans are still active, just wipe them.

It's not fixed.

"Bad IP, You are banned from this site due to a bad ip."

Nah, this is way more vindictive.

I don't know who has admin access anymore, it's not me as I banned myself (conner_bw) from the board and posted the password for conner_bw here on [ rave.ca ] in another thread.

Bliss, I don't know what you are talking about with regards to hacking, I'm not a hacker. The site is auto banning people incorrectly, me from work as an anonymous lurker, and if someone was in charge it could be fixed. I figured Noah could figure it out as he's hosting the site and is a pretty bad ass PHP guru. Noah, since you were able to transfer the database, I suggest pasting the md5 password from an account you know into the mysql field of an admin and log in?

Cheers.

113, fuckin [ rave.ca ] is the nerd herd?

My other car is a monstroyer.

I heard the site is now hosted on Noah's servers? Respect!

As I want nothing to do with that site, like a disowned child who chose art over hockey, I can't do much. Well that, and I banned my admin account and spread the password so that if it is ever unbanned the site will be hacked.

In any case, someone who has root needs to log into the /admin.php section of the site and go to "Security" and loosen the reigns. Either adjust "flooding" and "IP's" or deactivate them altogether.

Also, my Google ads are still running on that site. $20 bucks every 4 months, you see me roll on my segway, feel free to replace them with your own. Look in the templates directory for the MTLDNB skin. And no, the FORD advertisement is not mine. That's Mike's? Not sure, really. All I got up there are Google ads.

Good times.

Like hotcakes!

Hardcore, like Minor Threat and Converge.

Exceptions: In Canada, areas of Quebec east of 63 degrees west longitude do not change to daylight time and remain on Atlantic Standard Time year round. Pockets of Ontario and British Columbia do not use daylight time. - [ www.cbc.ca ]

Man, this shit is confusing

I think I misunderstood the news.

Thanks, all.

With all this time zone shit going on because of the USA, what time is it in Montreal? My computers have auto adjusted themselves to 12:54 PM when my microwave clock says 11:54AM. I heard on the news that Quebec isn't changing the time along with Saskatchewan or something? Seriously, what time is it? It's a golfers conspiracy! [ en.wikipedia.org ]
