As a father of a middle school boy, this is utterly terrifying. Although illogical, as a parent you want to believe that if you do the right things then it will turn out the right way. I can not imagine going through what you're going through. There but the grace of God go I. Whenever you need to clear your mind, DC is a nice place to visit or whatever else floats your boat. I'll have my secretary clear my schedule.

I tip on take-out - every single time, but for pizza. We've covered this here before, but I'm too lazy to look it up. That bag of food didn't just appear. Someone took your order, made your salad (without onions, extra tomatoes, and dressing on the side), packed up your dinner so it wouldn't spill, packed your utensils, napkins and sauces. Then they checked that your order was complete. THEN when you received your bag. There is also a lot of back and forth about who has to work those shifts and what they get paid for doing so. Those servers are no different than the ones that wait on your sit down dinners, other than performing less per customer for more customers. So, I tip $2 to $4 on my takeout. It's not 15-20%, but I didn't receive 15-20% service. However, I DID receive service and quite often by people paid as wait staff, but not getting a normal shift to make their tip money. Argue all you want for your personal cheapness, and argue you will, but try doing a search or two about this and maybe you'll think differently.

That might have been better. Doh. FWIW, I didn't close it, but concurred it was an issue and it would need to be closed. I'm wondering if that thread wasn't the cause of draft day issues. All it takes is for one happy clicker to keep loading it...

We had to close it because it takes the server 21 seconds to load that thread every time someone views it, as opposed to the normal 0.2 seconds. Just a reality. It was loading all 15k messages on every view.

when in doubt. It's user error. I just logged in with his credentials. Easy-peasy. I assume he was using the wrong name, so I sent him that too.

So, if the Jets had the same "plan" as you - they didn't get their man did they? See how easy that is?

Maybe they'll get all 32 7th round picks if they play it right. The Patriots drafting prowess is a myth.

we're all over that on Facebook.

On the phone...

I blame Invision and myself for trusting them. They supposedly had a way to have all posts in a forum without creating an archive forum to store old posts for performance reasons. Well, that didn't work so well. Jackasses. I tried to stop Apache and restart, but then it wouldn't. Call tech support and we decided to reboot the server, but they had 2 techs working the same issue and that screwed it up more. Now here is the kicker. While this is going on - a fiber is cut in WDC area that severs my connection to the server. Not sure if that was an issue or not. So, they think things are ok, I'm saying the public network to the server is down. Then they are talking about the motherboard being bad... grrrr Now it appears to be back up. I'll clear the 500,000 posts out of this forum and we should be fine like we had been for years. What a night.

updates won't occur until tonight at the earliest. I'm on a soccer field with my kids 6 days a week. Most nights I don't sit down or eat dinner until 8:00p if I'm lucky.

Haha... and there you go. Life in Bills Nation.

I liked it a lot, but I'm not hyper-critical when it comes to these things. I thought it was well done. I also noticed the flashback scenes lacked the youthful appearance one would expect, but I just shrugged it off.

Wow. Great response. Way to come back with more trial fare when Lewis himself openly and willingly tells people that the truth isn't known.

Do you know who are not able to add facts to the case? Dead people. Want another fact? Ray Lewis gives a speech to universities in the spring. He tells his audience he is sad for the families because "they will never know the truth of what happened that night." Funny how there was a trial and a bunch of people parroting the outcome, but Lewis openly admits the families will never know the truth.

lockbox.

From March 2012: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--how-did-ray-lewis-go-from-murder-suspect-to-nfl-royalty--201947666.html So, a lot of people here think they know what happened because of the trial, yet Ray Lewis says differently. Gee, I wonder why?

Great football player. POS human being. He has a right to play and I have a right not to put him on a pedestal, while SMH at those who do.

Yes he WAS. Get YOUR facts right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Lewis He plea bargained down to obstruction of justice to save his skin and then refused to reveal enough information to convict anyone else. Because in Baltimore - snitches get stitches. What a man. What a leader.

and God told him to never reveal the truth to the mothers of those two dead boys? There is no redemption until he comes clean about what happened that night. Legally he is free, morally he is not.
