Review of richmond.craigslist.org::Impex Powerhouse Manual - Norton Safe Search








What's               a               world               class,               international,               strenuous               athletic               competition               without               music,               entertainment               and               celebrity               gossip?

This               is               the               Internet               Millennium               after               all;               pop               culture               is               what               it's               all               really               about,               isn't               it?

OK               maybe               not,               but               there               is               going               to               be               significant               entertainment               and               social               hosting               going               on               in               the               evenings               throughout               the               Olympic               Games,               a               good               portion               of               it               free.

Full               listings               were               released               today.
               Dubbed               the               "Cultural               Olympiad"               by               the               Vancouver               Olympic               Committee,               there               will               be               high-profile               bands               playing               at               BC               Place               for               Opening,               Closing               and               Awards               Ceremonies.

Tickets               are               not               cheap               and               these               events,               are               mostly               sold               out,               however               rumours               are               starting               to               fly               of               volunteers               and               performers               selling               what               they               received               in               exchange               for               services.

Decide               for               yourself               whether               you               think               that               is               low-down               and               dirty               or               all               part               of               the               free               market               system.

Apparently               Craigslist               is               the               place               to               go               if               you               are               part               of               the               latter               group,               or               simply               desperate.
               Acts               appearing               at               BC               Place               include,               after               Olympic               athlete               medal               presentations:               Nelly               Furtado,               Barenaked               Ladies,               Paul               Brandt,               Hedley,               Theory               of               a               Deadman,               Stereophonics,               Trooper               &               Loverboy,               Devo,               Billy               Talent,               INXS,               Burton               Cummings,               Great               Big               Sea.

The               completely               maddening               official               Olympics               Vancouver               website               doesn't               list               things               normally,               but               I               know               that               Sarah               MacLachlan               is               playing,               and               I               think               it's               for               the               Opening               Ceremonies.

Why               is               it               such               a               secret?

The               thing               is               way               sold               out.

Sometimes               finding               real               information               about               the               Olympics               makes               me               feel               like               I'm               living               in               a               police               state.

Or               one               of               rampant               incompetence.

Can't               find               at               all               who               is               playing               the               Closing               Ceremonies               either,               what               a               joke.

(PS:               Trooper??

really?

that's               horrifying)
               Sarah               McLachlan               wrote               a               song               for               the               Olympics               actually               called               "One               Dream,"               which               debuted               at               the               end               of               January.

The               song               seems               to               be               doing               well,               with               NBC               selecting               it               as               the               centrepiece               of               its               marketing               campaign               for               the               Vancouver               games.

That's               kind               of               cool,               considering               another               Canadian               singer-songwriter,               K'naan,               had               his               song               "Waving               Flag"               chosen               as               the               official               theme               for               the               2010               World               Cup               of               Soccer.
               Apart               from               the               ticket-only               events               at               BC               Place               there               is               a               ton               of               acts               playing               around               town,               a               lot               of               it               free.

Olympics               organizers               decided               to               put               a               heavy               focus               on               Canadian               acts,               many               of               which               are               wildly               popular               up               here,               so               expect               quite               a               crush               for               a               lot               of               those               shows.

I               am               for               sure               going               to               check               out               Mother               Mother               (saw               them               open               for               Sam               Roberts               in               Deer               Lake               Park               over               the               summer,               smashing               good               show),               Great               Lakes               Swimmers,               Hey               Rosetta!,               Sam               Roberts               Band               (that               will               be               really               squished               for               sure,               he's               playing               few               times),               and               my               personal               favourite,               Jets               Overhead.

Full               listing,               as               complete               as               I               could               find               (its               missing               a               lot),               is               posted               on               the               Vancouver               Sun               newspaper               Web               site.
               As               far               as               celebrity               gossip               goes               there               is               so               much               it               is               making               my               brain               hurt               frankly.

I               kind               of               hope               the               stories               are               exaggerated               because               people               tend               to               lose               their               minds               a               little               bit               more               than               usual               when               famous               people               are               about               and               a               mob               frenzy               in               the               middle               of               massive               crowds               of               international               visitors               milling               together               just               doesn't               sound               safe.
               Names               dropped               so               far               include               but               are               not               restricted               to:               Cindy               Crawford,               Michael               Phelps,               Buzz               Aldrin,               George               Clooney,               Nicole               Kidman,               Michael               Schumacher,               Zhang               Ziyi,               Sergio               Garcia,               Wayne               Gretzky,               Mike               Weir,               Brent               Butt,               Steve               Nash,               Ryan               Reynolds,               Hayden               Christensen,               and               Sean               "Puffy"               Combs.

Some               of               those               people               live               in               Vancouver               so               mentions               are               extraneous,               but               .

.

.

whatever.
               Such               a               list               can               not               be               considered               complete,               of               course,               without               mention               of               the               inimitable               Stephen               Colbert,               who               decided               to               launch               an               awkward               battle               with               the               Olympic               Skating               Oval               in               Richmond               and               is               now               attending               the               Games               as               an               honourary               member               of               the               US               speed               skating               team.

Oh               man               he's               doing               colour               commentary               for               NBC.

Ok               then!
               The               newly               recorded               remake               of               "We               Are               the               World,"               as               benefit               for               Haiti,               will               debut               at               the               Opening               Ceremonies.

I               don't               know               what               that               means.

Will               they               play               a               video               of               the               recording               process?

Tune               in               to               find               out,               I               guess.
               And               finally,               in               a               weird               twist,               US               figure               skater               Johnny               Weir               has               bowed               to               pressure               from               animal               rights               groups               and               is               changing               his               costume               fringe               to               faux               fur.
