Would you believe sushi and pizza delivery drones? http://o.canada.com/2013/06/11/sushi-drone/

"I never blew over 750 large on an engagement ring because my Daddy gave me the TALK. I'll give it to you in football terms - - Sperm look just like this thing, but with a squiggly tail. Ya gotta keep 'em from gettin' to places where you don't want 'em to go. No, not with your hands! Let's start over . . . . ."

Many may already be aware of this, but because I think it's important and I have not seen a link to info about the Utah data center posted in this thread: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/

In the gold rush days, most prospectors went broke, and a few got wealthy. The guys who sold picks and shovels to the prospectors made nice steady profits. One way to participate in the biotech industry with less risk (and admittedly less potential upside) is to figure out what kinds of "picks and shovels" the biotech researchers need and invest in the companies that make them. Takes some time and effort to figure out what the best new types of shovels will be, and it's certainly no sure thing, but it's less risky than trying to figure out (guess?) what clinical trials will be successful. But even this somewhat less risky approach should not be used if you aren't willing to do some investigation first.

I suppose this might not be practical in New Hampshire (sadly only one picture): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/7717810/Australias-bikini-wearing-meter-maids-forced-to-cover-up.html

My significant other dragged me kicking and screaming on our first cruise - - but I had some serious misconceptions and wound up enjoying it. Christmas carols on steel drums - - who knew? I have been on several other cruises since then. One of the best things about cruises, especially if you like seeing new places, is that you only have to unpack once - - your "hotel room" then does the traveling. One thing I have not seen mentioned yet in this thread is ship size. Think about whether you would prefer a slightly smaller ship over one of the floating cities they have more recently been building. Even the smaller ships generally have lots of dining and entertainment options. You also may have an option to either have meals "freestyle" (i.e., come and go whenever you want), or seated at a table at an assigned time with the same people at each dinner. There are pros and cons to each approach, depending on the personalities of any assigned table-mates. It's an oversimplification, but my impression is that Carnival ships encourage more of a young party atmosphere, RC focuses on outdoor activities, and Holland America draws an older, more "dignified" crowd [yuck!]. I have not cruised on Carnival, but enjoyed myself on the other two. Given a choice, I would pick a mid-sized RC ship. Carnival ships have been in the news a lot in the last couple years with mechanical problems, but I suspect some of that is just increased media scrutiny after one of their Italian subsidiary's ships struck rocks and capsized off the coast of Italy a couple years ago. Cruise ships sometimes have outbreaks of the norovirus - - I've never been on a ship with a problem, but it would be a good idea to use the hand sanitizers that all ships make available in their dining halls. It's not a very serious illness, but it's highly contagious, and it could ruin your trip. One last thing - - if you wind up on a really big ship, consider packing lightly enough so that you can cart your own bags on and off the ship. At the end of the cruise, the big ships assign you a disembark (?) time, and I'm pretty sure the high rollers get priority. If you're willing to lug your own bags, some cruise lines let you depart immediately. That may give you time to see or do more things in your final port city, or time to catch an earlier or cheaper flight home that day. Have a great time - - it's hard not to on a cruise!

If the manager was misdemeanor stupid, the "actors" he hired were felony stupid. They put their own lives at risk. Any off-duty cop or armed civilian might have killed them if they "brandished" their weapons while acting out their "part."

Beat me to it, but I was going to add this video:

The guys who had the most heart and grit (not the most talent): Don Beebe - - best example of how any sport SHOULD be played Antoine Winfield - - when a large FB caught a swing pass heading in his direction it wasn't a fair fight Frank Reich - - QB for biggest comebacks in both NCAA and NFL history Darryl Talley - - my brothers voted him in

I only have two bits of information about Lane College "Dragon" Vernon Kearney. He got beat once in a while, but: 1. He asked no quarter; and 2. Gave none.

I wonder if the same scout who recommended drafting Reggie Corner suggested that we sign Nickell?

Reported suicide rates are increasing, but reported murder rates are steadily declining: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/preliminary-semiannual-uniform-crime-report-january-june-2012/data-tables/table_3_percent_change_for_consecutive_years_2012.xls There's more than one way to interpret that data. My oldest brother Darryl figures that with all those CSI type shows on TV, we've educated a lot of criminals. They now know a lot more about how to cover their tracks, so killers are a lot better than they used to be at making things look like suicide. He says the population isn't more depressed, it's just smarter. But he's a glass half-full kind of moron.

Nickell went undrafted for a reason. He's only half good enough to play in the dime sub-package.

Not if you're married to a working woman who robbed the cradle.

He's gonna get his money back (and maybe an X-box, too) thanks to the Interweb tubes: http://www.nydailyne...ksEnabled=false Let's hope his kids are adopted.

and g Is there a line on the Bills winning the AFC and getting into the SB - - that would be a better comparison.

If you're convinced the Bills will make the Super Bowl and aren't gambling the rent money, sure. Personally, I don't mind gambling a few bucks just for the pure entertainment value (e.g., playing poker with friends for a small buy-in), but $205 is above my "willing to throw away" threshold. To each his own.

Not me. The cost for 2 SB tix and one hotel room is 5x the dollar figure shown for each team at this link: http://14sb.com/free-super-bowl-hotels/ So total cost for the Bills package is 5 x $41 = $205 But for defending champion SF, the exact same package costs 5 x $355 = $1775. Only teams cheaper than Buffalo are Jax and Oakland.

I did a little googling to find other links about the same story. The link I posted above may have been an over-reaction by the blogger. Here are a few different links to the Draper, Utah "ag gag" story: http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2013/05/utah-prosecutors-drop-first-ever-charges-brought-under-ag-gag/ The blogger in the first link I posted apparently was misinformed about whether the Utah law prevented filming while standing in a public place. http://www.abc4.com/content/news/story/Charges-dropped-in-Ag-Gag-case/FU87ge0R-0uw0Jkwh_8uQw.cspx http://fox13now.com/2013/04/30/charges-dropped-against-woman-accused-of-violating-ag-gag-law/

Life ain't a dress rehearsal - - wear what YOU think looks good or is comfortable (depending on what is more important to YOU), and as long as your employer's dress code allows it, if others don't like it - - - screw 'em. Or you can just be a corporate suck-up, wait a couple of weeks to start wearing jeans, watch what your boss wears with jeans, and meekly match it. B-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. Then again, I may not be the best person to give advice on either sartorial splendor or fitting in to a corporate culture. But do you think most posters on a football message board are?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/ex-lawmakers-search-signs-intelligent-life-washington-d-225559027.html The Truth Embargo "documentary" involves FORMER members of Congress - - so maybe there's some hope for democracy.

I'm no fan of PETA, but it bothers me when those nutjobs, if otherwise law-abiding, can be arrested for filming something while standing in a public space. Don't know and haven't tried to verify if the blogger's take is slanted by cross-checking any other reports of the event, but FWIW: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/utah-woman-prosecuted-for-filming-slaughterhouse-from-public-street't What say ye?
