Mr Info

I feel the same way. I have season tickets for quite a while and have been taking my wife and/or kids for many years. I have been reluctant to re-locate from where I am in the lower bowl because they few issues arise in that spot. Perhaps a beer was spilled here or there, some swearing, but for the most part everything has been fine. I enjoy going to the games and so do my wife and kids. I do not park in the public lots so I cannot comment so much on the trash but I walk through the lots to meet people and check out the RV lot but I realize this is a public stadium like at a concert and I expect trash to be around so I do not really notice so much. We always stay or venture over to Hammer's lot and enjoy the Pinto extravaganza and have a great time there. Too bad others have had so many bad experiences but I would always like to be at a game rather than watch on TV from 500 miles away (where I live).

I selected and do the maintenance on a Cummins-Onan 6500 LP for my wife's business. I also use if for the home when necessary. The C-O is a commercial quiet propane generator and I do the oil/filter changes on it. It has 300 hrs on it and it is solid. Great support org and 24 hr access for parts & service as they have many centers scattered around the US. They make residential units, too. The C-Os kick azz and I have also heard good things about the Generacs but I don't have as much experience with them.

This. I decided which circuits I wanted to stay active after a power failure: kitchen (fridge, bathroom(s), family room, etc.) and then determined how much juice (amps/watts) I would need to keep it going to price out a generator. I had a separate panel run for the circuits I wanted to stay active and ran the plug out to where I would move the generator in a power failure. If you go for a big generator, remember that fuel demands will increase and you will need to resupply at some point. But if you are a Doomsday Prepper then you have that all figured out.

That is true if you use gas or diesel. But if you use propane or natural gas, then you avoid two issues: 1.) exercising it regularly and 2.) the fuel degrading. The upfront cost of a propane generator will be more but the hassles will be reduced. If you are going for a whole house cutover generator, IMO, Cummins-Onan is the best : http://www.cumminsonan.com/residential/products/homestandby

I believe this is the first political comment I ever made anywhere on TBD. IMO - the Republican party or Tea Party will have a difficult time in presidential elections going forward due to their exclusivity, specifically minorities and you could also toss in women and LGBT. I saw stats that one of the Bush's won the electoral college with 62% of the white vote. Romney had the same percent this election but the minorities/non-white now constitute a larger % of the population and that number will continue to grow. I recall seeing coverage of the RNC this year on the Daily Show and how it was difficult for them to find minorities in attendance. Now I know they had an agenda but nonetheless there was a paucity of minority attendees as compared to the the DNC. While Republicans and the Tea Party are successful in regional elections depending upon location, that does not translate as well to the country-wide demographics change that is occurring and will continue. BTW - I work for a large corporation and my wife is a small business owner so I consider the federal/state impact of both environments when I am voting regionally and for president.

If you want to see where the $ is going (gambling):http://www.intrade.c...isc/scoreboard/ You can wager on items like these (Yes/No): The Dow Jones to close on or above 13,000 on 30 Dec 2012 al-Assad no longer president before midnight ET 31 Dec 2012 The United States or Israel to bomb Iran before the end of 2013 Magnitude 9.0 (or higher) earthquake to occur before midnight ET 31 Dec 2012

Wow! I know some women that really like Outlook but that's a new level.

Here is an update from NYCBBB: http://nycbbb.com/2012-emails/beer-2/

Looking for some understudies

Outstanding!!! Thanks

Anyone have info on which lot at MetLife will be the one for TBD and other Bills followers to go for tailgating for those of us traveling to the game? You know the whole Pinto experience, et al.

If TT is on the opening day roster, the Bills are stuck for $2.5M. Also weigh that when making a determination.

Correct I have seen the performance twice. That is an anecdote that I forgot to include. If I had not taken the handle Mr Info, I might have selected Mr. Floyd as I am an uber fan. I have shared my rare Floyd outtakes, curios, and bootlegs with TBD memebers. For you Floyd fanatics - head over to http://www.yeeshkul.com/. I am a contributing member there. The site name has an interesting origin that you can find there.

Just two nights ago, Roger Waters joined GE Smith for a blues tune at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett NY to celebrate GE's birthday:

I have followed LA for quite awhile and want to believe he did not juice. I recently visited with a friend who is in the top three amateur cyclist/triathletes in his age range in the world. He knows amateurs that are juicing and believes it is impossible that LA did not. It is known that doping has been going on in cycling since the tour began in 1903 and before testing was ever performed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France This is still all hearsay and I am not 100% convinced that LA did but if it is true than I am ok with it after hearing some of the other competition doping tales that my friend relayed. This guy is a straight shooter and I believe him. Regardless, LA is still an amazing athlete. Doping is fairly common on the Tour and the riders are looking for that extra edge. If many other riders along with him were doping and he still won 7 tours, that is amazing. If he won that many without doping, well...they should do some testing to determine if he could be an alien.

Outf#!kingstanding! My wife works on some business deals with Jimmy (and that is all I can say). Now we should be able to score some tix for the game there.

Thanks a bunch, Mark. I always look forward to these posts. I am interested in Premium Rush. I like JGL but the staging of the bike filming, at least in the trailer, appears exhilarating to watch. I hope the story line/screenplay is just as good. After reading the strong dissents on the TBD bicycle discussion I can envision two TBD bleachers at this movie: one cheering when the bike rider cleverly avoids the situation and the other when the rider gets whacked. Though, in fairness, it is the wild west for NYC bike deliverers as they do what they please.

I periodically worked in the SE part of PR but I would stay in Ponce (south center) part of the island rather than San Juan. I always enjoyed the laid-back, non-tourist feel of Ponce. If you are nearby and can stop, check out Plaza Las Delicias which is the center square of Ponce. Some nearby great beaches, too.

Durant was there the week before but not the night we were there. G'towns Chris Wright and Antonio Hyman played. Some other dude was the MVP of some Euro league. I did not spot any MD players but I had a hard time catching all the names from the announcer. These guys all had game. The warm-ups were as entertaining as the games and it was like the slam-dunk competition. But once the games started, these guys became serious as chit about their ball. Great bball court in the middle of the projects. Nike spent >$150k to upgrade it about a year ago.

I just stubhubbed 4 in 337 so I will be next to 336. Two Jets fans will be joining us so they can watch the demolition live.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my son to watch the Goodman League in the Berry Farms Dwellings in SE DC (a few blocks from the Anacostia stop): Goodman League Great basketball and you never know who (NBA, ex-NBA, College, etc.) might appear. We were the only caucasians at the game & due to that were welcomed by Miles Rawls (commissioner & announcer) over the mike. The games ended about 10:00 and we had no issues going/coming or at the games. We had a great time and saw some amazing ball.

I was looking on the NYCBB Backers site for 4 tix together and they are sold out...well, they may have a couple of singles left. I hope they can score more tix from the Jets. It looks like they could sell more if they do.

It appears 15 charge some sort of PSL. Sport PSLs

I live just North of Richmond and have a cycle and that would be a long ride. I would do it if I had a few days but not Sunday night after a football game...but that's me. I do not drive that route very much anymore. Another option - catch a Sat morning flight on Southwest out of BWI to BUF and return Sunday on the 7 pm flight. Right now $193 RT. No traffic Sat morning to BWI or returning on Sun night (everybody is going in the opposite direction). Listen to the Sunday night game on the way back and Bills highlights. I do this for about 3 games a year but plan ahead to get inexpensive flights. You can also fly from RIC to BUF that weekend for ~$290 RT. Depart BUF Sunday night around 7 pm. Departure time may seem tight on Sunday evening but I have never missed that flight. Leave stadium 5:30-5:45 and get to BUF before 6:30.

Pink Floyd blues Classic blues...great guitar and piano work by Gilmour and Wright. No video but let it play in the background.
