My wife and I moved into our home in February.
The home will be 3 years old in Sept.

The front archway is collapsing.....our builder is dead....and Tarion Warranty refuses to cover this, because according to them.....Its not a Major Structural Defect.

I had a gentleman who owns a Masonry company come by with a Engineer and they say it is a Major Structural Defect.

Just wondering if anyone has ever had dealings with Tarion warranty and its appeal process?

I think I may have to take them to court.

If The Killers come around your city, make it a point to check them out. Was at their concert in Detroit at the Fox on Wednesday night and it was totally killer. High energy, the band is unreal live, one of the best live performances I've seen - the lead singer performs flawlessly and totally engages the crowd.

Plus considering they only have 2 albums they gave a good 1h 40m set with 1 encore plus a mini-second-encore where they played the outro from Sam's Town followed by "When you were young" a second time.

It's not the safest video for kids...

This a really cool video about the Internet and whatnot.

I didn't post this in the youtube thread, because i though that this could spark some meaningful (and probably awkward) discussions.

Having a laugh playing Guitar Hero on the Xbox360. Jamming with Pearl Jam, Guns 'N' Roses, Alice In Chains and of course Warrant ( Tongue ) amoung others.

Anyone whose played the game or understands the concept, which Hip song do you think would be cool to play along with? NOIS is the obvisous choice although it guitar work could end up driving you nuts!

Canadian Rock's Tragically Hip Raises Katrina Money, Woos U.S.

By Paul Goguen

May 11 (Bloomberg) -- Back in the '80s, five schoolmates got together in Kingston, Ontario, and formed a rock group that would become one of Canada's most successful, recently sharing a bill with the Rolling Stones.

The Tragically Hip's newest disc, ``World Container,'' is its most polished effort, likely to please home-country fans and possibly win new ones in the coveted U.S. market.

Lead singer Gordon Downie, 43, spoke about the Hip's recording life in Bloomberg's New York studios.

Goguen: The band's 1989 breakthrough song, ``New Orleans Is Sinking,'' has an ironic title after Hurricane Katrina. I noticed on your Web site that you are trying to help the people of New Orleans.

Downie: We wrote the song way back when, obviously not about Hurricane Katrina or the city sinking all in one go, but sinking over time -- you know, with its position under sea level. That was the idea then, about being a Canadian kid going down for Mardi Gras and spring break, saying that if the city goes down, I don't want to swim.

After Katrina, great fanfare was made about the pulling of the song at various radio stations -- that probably didn't play it anyway. We had another song called ``If New Orleans Is Beat'' from our last record, ``In Between Evolution.'' And so I, with a friend of mine, Joseph Boyden -- who lives down there and teaches writing -- made a small effort to try and raise a little money and awareness, toward the Red Cross.

Heavy Metal Producer

Goguen: ``World Container,'' your latest, was produced by fellow Canadian Bob Rock, who is famous for his work with Motley Crue and Metallica. How did you connect, and what it was like working with him?

Downie: It started as a conversation, and we gingerly moved to cutting a few tracks together. We hit it off immediately.

Bob is just really something else. He is a musicologist through and through. He can tell you what he was wearing when he bought ``Exile on Main Street,'' he can tell you who played on what, he knows music through and through and he loves it. That's why the records he makes sound the way they do -- a 14-year-old who can't believe he makes records for a living.

Goguen: The jacket copy on ``World Container'' says ``all songs by the Tragically Hip.'' Sharing coveted writing credits has caused battles within so many bands. Why do you do it that way?

Downie: We had a brief discussion about it in Paul's (Hip member Langlois) parents' basement once. I think that it has really created our main goal or aspiration, which is really just to know each other, to support each other, to grow. It was a good decision.

Song Suits

Goguen: Band members sue each other all the time over songwriting issues.

Downie: Oh, we still sue each other (laughs).

Goguen: The band is hugely popular in Canada. You were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and you've won 15 Juno awards, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy. Does the new album specifically target the U.S. market?

Downie: Well, no. It matters, but not for the reasons one might expect. We have been coming down here for 15 years and converting people, say, 45 at a time, just building it up slowly and surely with our show.

Obviously, if you are in a rock band with a rhythm-and- blues foundation, you want to come to the United States and play your music down here. You want to get close to the source, you want to get close to the flame, where this music originated.

It was Ten years ago, this May 11, that the band performed an incredible show at the Tivoli in Utrecht, Netherlands.

Broach pointed this out to me tonight so I thought we should all celebrate this wonderful show.

1997.05.11 is always the most played concert in my collection. It will forever be known (to me) as the "Chambermaid" show. Gord reference's chambermaids almost before every song, and for some reason I love it more every time i hear it.

"This is a song about Eva Paron's grandmother, apparently shes a chambermaid in Utrecht."

"This is a song about me and a very young chambermaid, when we were very little. We were both nine years old, and we'd just go up in this tree and just talk"

"Here's a song for the Mutton Birds, the mutton birds of New Zealand"

1: Gift Shop
2: Fully Completely
3: Grace, Too
4: Springtime In Vienna
5: The Luxury
6: Ahead By A Century
7: Butts Wigglin
8: Locked In The Trunk Of A Car
9: Vapour Trails
10: Daredevil
11: Flamenco
12: Blow At High Dough
13: Membership
14: New Orleans Is Sinking
15: Put It Off
16: Fire In The Hole
17: Let's Stay Engaged
18: Save The Planet
19: Little Bones


So everyone share there love for this show. If you have never heard this show I would recommend, if only for one of my favourite versions of Hiccups!!
