I've been following them since '63, my first game, and that includes being a ball boy for two short weeks, and being a friend of an usher during the War Memorial Stadium times and watching them practice. If someone asked me to name the most dominant three since; players who were so much better that they demanded staying away from, or dealing with...... OJ.....He was on a different planet. Robert James.....Simply idiotic to ever throw at his coverage, and nobody did. Bruce Smith....Never has one man been blocked by so many for so long. Impossible to handle one on one, when he was interested.

That's because nobody ever threw to the receiver Robert James was covering. Ever. Billy Shaw reportedly lost over an inch in height based on blocking. The only guy that owned Ernie Ladd.

I make ceviche regularly. It's my absolute favorite food. I've been told the process will ruin the texture of chicken as it breaks down the proteins, and not to leave chicken in any acidic marinade for more than four hours, but that would vary depending on the acidity.

Nobody ever made a claim that he left Ohio to kill people. The fact is that a jury convicted him of murder, after considering, and disregarding, his "fear" that he did what he did because he was afraid. You don't run over people to flee. I've seen the video, his texts and his comments. That is what eliminated his "fear" defense.

It may not be a good idea to kill people at your "rally." James Alex Fields was found guilty Friday of committing first degree murder in Charlottesville, Va., after backing up his vehicle through a group of people, killing one and injuring many, Jury sentencing was today, and they recommended 400+years, though the final sentence will be forthcoming. His defense was that he was "frightened" and then a lunatic, with terrible problems originating in his youth that caused him to leave Ohio, drive to our town and kill people, as part of a moronic, despicable "protest." Oh well.

What? What those voters/consumers are saying is that other interests outweigh those interests.

Managed travel baseball for years, ages 10-14. Team played in three states. during summer months.

I know what your saying, but once airborne, no divert necessary. Simply start the APU, which is more than adequate to serve as the second power source, and press on. APU picks up the bad side easily, and ETOPS is satisfied.

You would not have diverted once in flight. Easily worked around. Not that big of a deal, and certainly would not go into a Canadian field or Iceland.

Some information for those who travel international. There are a few ways to clear customs and immigration on arrival in the US. One way, the traditional method, is to fill out the forms provided prior to landing. Another is the Global Entry Program. You apply for this, pay a fee, then run your passport through a machine and a form is printed and you're on your way. I used Global Entry since its inception, and never had any issues. It made sense for me because I had to go through customs/immigration at least once per week, and sometimes six times in three days. The point of this is to make folks aware of what your status is when you get in that area, but before you are cleared through. A lot of people don't understand that none of your normal protections exist. From the time you step off the airplane until the time you clear Customs, you are in a sort of legal No Man's Land. In the country physically, but not officially. Using this reasoning, U.S. Customs has granted itself special powers. You can be verbally abused. You have no Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. They can search and confiscate your electronics without a warrant. If and when they decide to return them, they will send you a bill for the shipping. If any Customs Agent suspects you of being guilty, or even just feels like harassing you, you are guilty. No evidence required. You are not entitled to Due Process. There is no oversight, at least at the level concerning us. The bottom line is that a Customs Officer can simply type an entry into their computer system and make both your life miserable.been "scarlet lettered," and it will show every time they run it. Your passport has Your Trusted Traveler status and Global Entry privileges will be revoked. You will be locked out of the Mobile Passport system. You will be detained, searched, and questioned - sometimes very aggressively - every single time you come through. You won’t be able to take an international vacation with your family without being processed as a criminal in front of them. You won’t be able to drive across the border to Mexico or Canada for dinner without having your car torn apart when you return. If you are a U.S. citizen, they cannot bar you from entering the country, but they can detain you “for a reasonable time”. There is no definition of what “a reasonable time” is. The only way to find out what’s in the computer is to file a Freedom Of Information Act request and wait for months. Even then, the response will be heavily redacted. You will never find out who made the entry, or be able to disprove it. I have a friend who has been going through this for six months. His mistake was losing his Global Entry form between the machine printing it and him presenting it to the immigration officer, and instead of stating that, used an alternate method that airline crews use, but similar to passenger forms. After the first couple times, and after his Global Entry/Trusted Traveler/Mobile Passport status were all revoked. He tried all normal means of getting it fixed, to no avail. He filed a complaint with the CBP site and got no response, except two weeks later, when going through, the agent said, "You're the guy who wrote the letter," followed by the standard two hour delay and harassment before being allowed in. This happened to him over twenty times in seven months. The point is, don't take this process lightly. Fill out the forms carefully and answer any questions truthfully. You can get yourself into a lot of trouble if you don't.

Based on my experience, I disagree. I was worried about the wifi capability using up batteries, and that simply hasn't happened on the six that have no "C" wire that I run daily for our church. The guide says to replace batteries in six months, but voltage is monitored and displayed, and all six are at the one year+ range, and still full power. One is over 18 months. Also, mentioned above was that the "C" wire is usually blue. In my experience, the blue is first stage heat, or just heat if you have a single stage. The "C" or power wire is brown. In the seven that we have, that is the case in all of them. For what its worth.

And the options for them were? You really don't get this. Trump is hardly the voice of Christiandom. Most vote, I'd guess, on other issues, like basic economic sense and the view that the gov is not the answer. Nothing to do with an oath to the Nicene Creed.

I run our church thermostats, seven of them, from my home. Six of them are Sensi, (an Emerson product), used in all spaces but the main Sanctuary. The Sanctuary thermostat is a Honeywell product that reports energy usage each month. It's interesting, but doesn't have any effect on how I schedule it, since the desired outcome of a thermostat is to make the space comfortable, but not wasteful. I think the wifi ability is extremely important, at least in our application, because we have a number of people who use the facility and "adjust" the thermostat, which I can monitor and overrule. The rest of the data, I'm not interested in. Late edit. By the way, wiring a thermostat is quite easy, if you you know the color codes, but not easy if you don't. I've wired all of our homes and churches'.

Because of his connection to carrier aviation, the Navy is going to do a 21 plane missing man F-18 flyover on the sixth.

The other thread got me thinking. To give has always been more pleasurable than to receive, so what was the best Christmas present you ever gave? For me it is simple. A number of really good French artists spend their winters in St. Maarten, on the French side. Really good talent, and I was going there every week as part of work at the time. I brought down seperate pictures of my three children at about the three year old age, and a really talented guy painted them as one oil. Just an incredible likeness of three of my wife's favorite pictures, sitting next to each other. When she opened the scroll, she just wept. Art is a really cool.

See "Napoleon." He had some good days. I've spent a lot of time there. Sad to see.

Kiko Alonso is an insult to the espionage world. He is the worst "spy" ever.

I guess with your experience of flying a torpedo bomber off of a light aircraft carrier during war, you are able to state that he "never worked a day in his life."

Thank goodness I got a Kubota. It did have a transmission thing that caused it to run over me once, but at least it didn't kill me. Those things have an anger issue that is hardly ever reported.

I'm guessing you mean Colombia. Been there many times, including a wifey vacation. Great place. You'll have no issues.

That was tried before.

Just outside Rileyville, VA. About the 3000' level on a ridge, so full view of the Shenandoah Valley and great view of the river. We do something like this every year. Each kid gets to name their own food assignment, of course I do the turkey, and it works out great. All arrived late Tuesday.

We always get a cabin in the Blue Ridge. My three kids, their spouses and our new granddaughter. Wood fires, hot tub, hiking trails accessible from Skyline Drive. Do it every year.

What exactly does this mean? What is the point, and what was demonstrated in that event that makes the point?
