  1. It's due to plug-in glitch that is having problems reconciling information between the Invision community software and Wordpress' database software. Thus why many people's registered full name was/is showing up. To fix the name thing, just change your username back to what it was previously...it will change all the post names back too. If you are having difficulty changing it back, just contact me. Thanks! Sanjeev
  2. Hi All, This plug-in issue has been more problematic than we originally thought. Basically, it is what allows the membership information to be recorded properly in the Wordpress database. Last August, I changed the attached email address and it created a disconnect. I guess it accumulated till the system had severe issues today. We're still working on this issue, but because of the July 4th holiday tomorrow, it may not get completely fixed until the weekend. For now, the plug-in has been disconnected. You may have to reset your password for your username, so that your password for the message board matches the password you used to register when you joined. If you continue to have problems on Friday, please email me and I'll get the IT team to check each issue. Thanks very much for your patience! Sanjeev
  3. Hi All, We were having some site log-in issues today. They have been temporarily fixed. The IT team needs to work on it some more over the next few days to figure out the issues with a specific plug-in, so there may be some temporary shut-downs...hopefully during non-peak hours...to remedy the situation. Thanks and apologies for the lack of access! If you are still having any issues, because many of you tried to reset your password, let me know and I will try to help. Sanjeev
  4. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hedge-fund-secret-adani-short-014855805.html Cheers!
  5. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/02/economy/global-debt-crisis/index.html Cheers!
  6. It's funny how these guys are the last ones standing. Eddie is best buds with Young now. Everyone else from the Grunge era is dead or irrelevant...other than Dave Grohl...and his music is just a shadow of what they created together at Nirvana! I still think Vitalogy and Nirvana's Nevermind are the best albums to come out of that era! Cheers!
  7. Neil Young is in a whole different category...like Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Hendrix...timeless and one of a kind! And three of those four had a Canadian connection or were born here...Young, Cohen and Hendrix! And Dylan was born in Duluth, which is essentially frigid Canada! Cheers!
  8. We'll find out how good or bad this season is going to be, but not a great start: https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/30/weather/hurricane-beryl-barbados-caribbean-sunday/index.html Cheers!
  9. The Kinks were part of a number of groups that influenced and developed rock music...including punk, grunge, heavy metal, etc. Included in that group, were The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Iron Butterfly, Budgie, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf and Judas Priest. My uncle listened to Elvis, while I grew up on the Beatles and Rolling Stones. I eventually moved on to the guys above, including The Kinks. The problem with The Kinks was that they would break up every other week! These groups considered hard rock and precursors to heavy metal, also heavily influenced the development of Punk Rock...which of course led to Grunge. Cheers!
  10. Hi Stubble, I'm almost certain it was a personal contribution...not from Fairfax or Sixty-Three. An alumnus giving back. Cheers!
  11. It wasn't a press release from Fairfax, but from IIT Madras...which should suggest that this was a personal contribution, not one from Fairfax. Cheers!
  12. The only song I liked by Billie Eilish until this album was the James Bond theme she did a couple of years ago. But this work is fantastic! Mature, the sounds are experimental and elevated, and 3 or 4 of them are on par with great songs of the past 30-40 years...The Greatest, Lunch, and Chihiro are incredible standouts! Cheers!
  13. Funny, but not quite fair. They also were at risk of dying of AIDS in their prime, COVID later took out a bunch of them, and they are spreading STD's like wildfire in old folks homes! Cheers!
  14. No, not really. Do you want me to ask him and tell him that after all these years, shareholders still doubt his intentions and decision making? I'm pretty sure it was Prem directly and neither Fairfax, nor Sixty-Three Foundation. This research was always important to the Watsa Family, but it's become more important since Vinodh's illness and recovery. Cheers!
