I'm looking for some to either split my tickets with me or buy the yr off at STH cost.

My tickets are currently in section 308.

I have two seats side by side.

I will hopefully be moving my seats into the 2nd Level this yr.

I'm basically posting to see if there is any interest out there.

I will post a price once I do my seat relocation.

If interested PM me. ]]> Ticket Exchange van fan down by river http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=117627 Jim Rome - Smack-Off 2012 http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=117626&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 16:16:07 GMT Friday May 18th.

Rome is hinting today that a pro athlete will join the fray.

My guess - Brian Wilson of the SF Giants.

About a year ago, the screen started to wobble, probably from opening and closing it so many times. However, this had also happened on my old laptop, so I let it go without worry. Anyways, about a week ago it became really loose so I tried to minimize the number of times I opened and closed my screen. This afternoon, I had to close it to save battery since I did not have my charger on me. About an hour later, I opened up my laptop and I heard this "snap". I looked and the screen hinge had become detached from the laptop itself. So now every time I lift up my screen, it picks up a corner of the faceplate because it was initially missing a screw. (The screen still works fine.) However, the thread is stripped making it impossible to screw back together.

I tried looking online for help but most guides only tell me how to tighten the hinges so it doesn't shake as much. I think this is much more serious than that. Do you think it's possible to fix this myself or should I take it in? ]]> Tech Talk saskflames96 http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=117624 Photo tour of the Cenovus Energy Christina Lake drilling site http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=117623&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 05:26:43 GMT Pretty cool. http://www.businessinsider.com/a-tour-of-cenovus-energys-in-situ-christina-lake-facility-2012-5 Pretty cool.

I thought I read somewhere that CBC broadcasts HDTV over the air in Calgary.

Prime-minister-in-waiting Thomas Mulcair is sounding downright paranoid in defending his theory the oilsands are inflating the Canadian dollar and hollowing out the country’s manufacturing sector.

Never mind that Jason Myers, president of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters Association, disagreed with this argument back when Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty first made it in February.

“Frankly, the big problem over the last three or four years has not been the high dollar because companies can adjust to (it),” Myers told the Globe and Mail. “The big problem has been the collapse of demand in the United States, which is our major market.”

I'm sure more of this stuff will happening considering he is a raging moron.

This part is pretty funny.

Quote:
Former Liberal leader Stephane Dion also criticized Mulcair for being divisive, noting he rejected political advice to adapt a similar strategy on the oilsands when he ran for PM.
When the biggest idiot that ran for PM the past 50 years calls you divisive and says your strategy is stupid, something is very wrong.

And in case people don't read the actual article.

Quote:
What’s more interesting is Mulcair’s response. On Tuesday, he told Postmedia News the premiers of Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan (and presumably everybody else, including that notorious Stephen Harper sycophant, Stephane Dion) are merely acting as Harper’s “messengers,” that he (Mulcair) is right, they’re wrong, and he won’t respond to mere premiers since his fight is with Harper.

I suspect the clog is from waste that has gone through the garberator.
The way the basement was developed, i dont have access to the trap in the floor near this drain. However, the drain pipe coming down from the sink into the basement floor was already cut and reconnected so this gives me access. Ive run a 25 foot snake and havent encountered any resistance so Im assuming the clog is further than 25ft.

What options do i have? Id prefer to try something myself before calling a plumber? Is there anywhere i can buy a snake longer than 25 feet? Or should i rent from home depot? Id prefer to buy in case this happens again.
Also wondering if i should be worried about something else going on? House is from the 60s here in calgary.
