My son was born this morning at 9:17 without incident. Mother is doing great. He already whispered in my ear that he looks forward to kicking the pats a$$ next week!
Congrats! And let's hope he's right!

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Well that's a cheap trick to play on us.

I happen to love Mike Schopp.
Hey, Mike. How are things?

Was Halloween 1 any good?
No. Not Rob Zombie's at least.

I'm still taking offers here for mine ... like new ... never used.
Mine's younger, and I'll even throw in a spleen (only slightly damaged) absolutely free. I'll take offers on mine now.

well, when Ice T released Cop Killer and they had a congressional hearing about it, i was about 13 years old and in prime impressionable status. to this day, i have never killed a police officer or even thought about it.
you can be disgusted with it all you want, but there will ALWAYS be "controversial" music coming from ANY and EVERY minority group that thinks they are even slightly oppressed. doesnt matter what country or political viewpoint. MUSIC will always be a vehicle for revolution and hyperbole.
if you truly find this song troubling, the WORST thing you can hope for is for a national backlash against it. it will only serve to put it directly in the spotlight so that EVERYONE can hear and read the lyrics.
Exactly.

I remember that too, but I think there's a big difference here. Ice T was a very fringe rapper act at the time. Ironically, that song actually put him on the map. But from what I recall, back then rap wasn't even widely considered a true "music" form yet. Now it is the main music that the younger generation listens too. Especially acts like Jay-Z and Rhiana. These are HUGE music stars. I used to like Jay-Z's music, but this stuff crosses a line. Sorry that I'm not so jaded that I fail to get outraged at stars of this magnitude making a not so subtle Black Panther glorification video.
Remember Michael Jackson's video for his song "Black or White?" Link
I agree that it may be crossing over the line to glorify violence in general, but nothing ever comes of things like this.

At least you went down swinging better than Billistic.
He doesn't care, this board is like Arkansas.

Sure, good point.
I'm not suggesting he shouldn't have arrested her, or was wrong to do so. Not at all. That wasn't the point.
I'm only saying had she been in some sort of imminent danger, or something, he may have chosen not to. The ride might have given him time to make that judgment. That he arrested her suggests he thought that's what was best.
But as others have noted, there are other reasons for the ride, as well.
Ah, I gotcha now.
-
Exactly my thoughts too!
Uh oh
-
No doubt. But he might have been able to get the ball rolling without it, had she given him a reason to believe she wasn't a hooker, really. i think the cop may have been giving her that chance. Possibly.
If it turns out her mother has something to do with it (which is probably what happened), the charge will certainly be dropped. An arrest probably helps a social service investigation, gives them a little more freedom.

I know a lot of you have been lobbying for him to be traded. If the FO were to trade him I would be VERY VERY pissed off. Just watched NFL Yearbook and I watched his return in week one already at the game...but slowed down on NFL Yearbook I am even more impressed with it. Not only that but I was unaware until just recently but he has the highest yards per return average in NFL history. Not only that but there was a few plays on saw where he was at WR where he split the opposing D with ease. And some of you want to trade THAT kind of talent away? Give me a break.
If we get rid of a WR and it ISN'T Justin Jenkins I will be incredibly disappointed.
Indeed. I think that the offensive coaches need to give him a chance to be more effective in places other than special teams.
Although, some do bring up the point that perhaps they have tried to make him more effective in the offense and it just doesn't work.

Digging for crystals? Big f-ckin deal.
LSD? Big f-ckin deal.

More of a rant/public service announcement.......never ever buy diamonds from a Jeweler. I'm getting engaged
and I pretty much know what I'm looking for, I customized a ring from Whiteflash.com and all in all I ended up spending around 5k, which was my budget. So last night I'm in the mall with my old lady doing some shopping and I decide to stop in Helzburg diamonds just "to look" at some stuff. She doesn't know I've already bought a ring so I was more or less just trying to reassure myself that I had done my homework and had bought one she would really like (although she not hard to please at all). The ring that she liked was very similar to the one she's getting except that it had a way crappier diamond in every sense.......cut, clarity, color and it was 1/4 carrot smaller. They wanted $8200 for the ring.......WTF Your girl is a rabbit

Sure, I can't stand the guy, but I have to give him props for the article he wrote for Parade that comes out tomorrow in newspapers across the country about kids and The President. Don't know or care what drove him to do it this way but he deserves a lot of credit.

I can't stand him either, but you're right. Good piece.

I was at a Greenday concert in Houston last night. It was a GREAT show. They were on for over 2 1/2 hours and played a great selection of old and new. About an hour and a half into the concert, they started playing partial covers from other artists: Ozzy, Van Halen, Tom Petty- just to name a few. One of the songs they played for a few minutes was Shout. It was awesome. For 2 minutes I felt like I was back at a RWS, and that our Bills had just scored the game winning TD.
I've met a few Bills fans since I moved down here, so I'm sure that I wasn't the only one who was singing "lets go Buffalo" during that part of the song last night!
Go Bills, stay HEALTHY tonight!
I went to a Green Day concert in Albany this year, and I got the same feeling during their cover of Shout. I didn't sing but I sure as hell was thinking "the bills make me wanna shout" through the whole song.

Tis my profession and sorry to say no real dicrepancies. The brand name stuff is actually different and generally more expensive, ingredient wise than the generic stuff. Everything gets cleaned to the microbiotic level. We have enough inspection agencies; USDA, FDA, AIB, not to mention our co-packers, to ensure everything is up to snuff to their ridiculously high standards. If you are eating most salsas or pasta sauces this side of the Mississippi and even some west of it, you are getting a good product.
Did I mention it's my job to ensure all of the above?
You forgot to mention that, according to sanitation regulations, there are allowable amounts of rodent parts and other foreign materials in canned and frozen products.

August 5: General Interest
1962 : Marilyn Monroe is found dead
On August 5, 1962, movie actress Marilyn Monroe is found dead in her home in Los Angeles. She was discovered lying nude on her bed, face down, with a telephone in one hand. Empty bottles of pills, prescribed to treat her depression, were littered around the room. After a brief investigation, Los Angeles police concluded that her death was "caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide."
Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortenson in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926. Her mother was emotionally unstable and frequently confined to an asylum, so Norma Jean was reared by a succession of foster parents and in an orphanage. At the age of 16, she married a fellow worker in an aircraft factory, but they divorced a few years later. She took up modeling in 1944 and in 1946 signed a short-term contract with 20th Century Fox, taking as her screen name Marilyn Monroe. She had a few bit parts and then returned to modeling, famously posing nude for a calendar in 1949.
She began to attract attention as an actress in 1950 after appearing in minor roles in the The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve. Although she was onscreen only briefly playing a mistress in both films, audiences took note of the blonde bombshell, and she won a new contract from Fox. Her acting career took off in the early 1950s with performances in Love Nest (1951), Monkey Business (1952), and Niagara (1953). Celebrated for her voluptuousness and wide-eyed charm, she won international fame for her sex-symbol roles in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), and There's No Business Like Show Business (1954). The Seven-Year Itch (1955) showcased her comedic talents and features the classic scene where she stands over a subway grating and has her white skirt billowed up by the wind from a passing train. In 1954, she married baseball great Joe DiMaggio, attracting further publicity, but they divorced eight months later.
In 1955, she studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York City and subsequently gave a strong performance as a hapless entertainer in Bus Stop (1956). In 1956, she married playwright Arthur Miller. She made The Prince and the Showgirl--a critical and commercial failure--with Laurence Olivier in 1957 but in 1959 gave an acclaimed performance in the hit comedy Some Like It Hot. Her last role, in The Misfits (1961), was directed by John Huston and written by Miller, whom she divorced just one week before the film's opening.
By 1961, Monroe, beset by depression, was under the constant care of a psychiatrist. Increasingly erratic in the last months of her life, she lived as a virtual recluse in her Brentwood, Los Angeles, home. After midnight on August 5, 1962, her maid, Eunice Murray, noticed Monroe's bedroom light on. When Murray found the door locked and Marilyn unresponsive to her calls, she called Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who gained access to the room by breaking a window. Entering, he found Marilyn dead, and the police were called sometime after. An autopsy found a fatal amount of sedatives in her system, and her death was ruled probable suicide.
In recent decades, there have been a number of conspiracy theories about her death, most of which contend that she was murdered by John and/or Robert Kennedy, with whom she allegedly had love affairs. These theories claim that the Kennedys killed her (or had her killed) because they feared she would make public their love affairs and other government secrets she was gathering. On August 4, 1962, Robert Kennedy, then attorney general in his older brother's cabinet, was in fact in Los Angeles. Two decades after the fact, Monroe's housekeeper, Eunice Murray, announced for the first time that the attorney general had visited Marilyn on the night of her death and quarreled with her, but the reliability of these and other statements made by Murray are questionable.
Four decades after her death, Marilyn Monroe remains a major cultural icon. The unknown details of her final performance only add to her mystique.

Yes, because the media didn't give him the time of day he can't be legit, right?
It was unfortunate watching the early Republican debates early in the primary season last year. Whenever Ron Paul spoke everybody gave him the debate equivalent of "Haha you're just crazy Ron, shut up."

How about a white flag of surrender!
Religion and politics have been around since day uno. Why shouldn't they be mixed? We have a constitution to deal with the political side of things and a moral obligation of follow our tenets when voting.
Go for it Jay, you have my support.
Careful, you might send this into PPP, and you know what can happen in there
