I'm thinking they showcase Smith and Young @ QB in the pre-season. Smith makes a good showing in pre-season and sometime early next season some team needs a QB due to injury, etc. The Bills have three of 'em and can broker a good trade with Smith. Not saying Smith can't help the Bills somehow but having your 3rd string QB look good in pre-season might help us differently.

I know the family in Batavia & donated for that little girl. Call me 804-641-2088 and I will get you in touch with them.

Waters on 60 minutes tonight (20 May)

Check out another Favreau movie: "The Big Empty". An odd little movie but I enjoyed the weirdness of it. Somewhat based on a Twilight Zone episode but with some interesting characters and dialogue. Also in the movie: Bud Cort, Darryl Hannah, Kelsey Grammar, Sean Bean.

Roger Waters was on Jim Ladd's show for 4 hours on Deep Tracks tonight and he announced that the Pink Floyd channel would start on Memorial Day weekend on the Deep Tracks channel and move to another station in June. I know there are some other Floyd/Waters fans around so I thought they may be interested. Still no word about this on XM/Sirius so I guess Roger released the news a little early. As always, a Waters interview is interesting and he is friends with Ladd so that made it even more insightful. It appears there will be some more Immersion releases (Animals? Meddle?) forthcoming. I will make an offer to the Floyd fanatics. I contribute some stuff to the Yeeshkul Floyd site. PM me and I will tell you about some rare quality Floyd material I will share if you are interested.

Careful, I noticed that GM pulling ads from fb Earlier news this year that Gap, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom and GameStop have all opened and closed shops on Facebook within the past year: Bloomberg report on fb closings Just FYI for due diligence.

I am looking to pick up a 2007 Silverado 2500HD 4x4 diesel to be towing a 6-7k load. I selected that year because of the tranny upgrade in 2006 and the interior upgrade over the 2006 model. The Duramax/Cummins combo is solid. Has anyone put a chip in it to increase mpg? I will pre-emptively talk about the F-250 before the Ford aficionados jump on this. I might have selected the 02-03 model when their diesels were reliable but the 6.0s after this were junky. However, the single front axle was the difference breaker when compared to the Silverado. My wife will be driving this and wanted more comfort. I know Ford started making their own diesel in '11 but I don't want to spend that much for a late model. Thanks ahead for any feedback.

Brilliant - you did not place an asterisk by the Pats* games and 29 (so far) copied and pasted your text without the required asterisk .

I am ok with Floyd, especially if we hang "Pink" for his nickname.

Thanks. I was not aware and had recently spoke with some friends about going up to catch a Midnight Ramble in Woodstock. The best to him and his family as he finishes up.

Here's one example: my wife has a business and is not tech savvy. She has a Droid but will be changing to the iPhone after purchasing an iPad for her business. Her POS system is Square. She wants the same interface on whichever device she is using. After a year, she still has issues locating stuff on her Android phone. The simplicity of the UI on the iPhone is easier for her. Did I mention that she is not tech savvy?

I live just north of Richmond and have had season tix for quite a while. I drive up to BWI on Sat or Sun morning and fly Southwest direct to BUF for the game and fly back Sun night. I make it for 3-4 games a year and sell, give away, or donate the others. I plan ahead which games to attend and that helps with lower prices on Southwest. My sister lives two blocks from the Ralph so that helps a bunch as well. Flying certainly is more expensive than driving but when you consider the rising cost of fuel and driving time, I can justify it. Another plus, Southwest is usually on schedule. Just another option to consider.

Pretty Lights was the headline at All Good last year. Amazing light show and sampled Pink Floyd for a bit. Not trying to hijack thread but All Good is moving to Legend Valley (near Columbus) next year.

State income tax: income > $17,000, tax is $720+5.75% of the amount over $17,000 VA Tax & Cost of Living calculator Sales tax is 4.5% but some localities (cities/counties) can add to this for meals, etc. Property taxes in Central VA (per $100 of assessed value) City of Richmond: $1.20 Chesterfield County: .95 Henrico County: .87 Hanover County: .81 (where I live; example for a 400,000 home is 3,240 in property taxes - compare to "$228,000 & I pay $6,800 in taxes") I like certain areas in the City of Richmond (the Fan) but I probably would not live there while raising a family unless I sent them to private school. Chesterfield is a booming area but as I mentioned earlier, I picked Ashland in Hanover County because I wanted us to be able to walk to places (Town hall, restaurants, train station, parks, stores, library, etc). I did not want to get into a car to go everywhere. That may not be important to many people so it would open up more of Central VA. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions. Someone mentioned Charlottesville & Roanoke. Both good recommendations but C'ville can get pricy.

Monique, the boys, and I will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

"Dallas Police detective C'mon Wingo..." really?? After reading this article, I had to look back at the source to make sure Onion was not involved somehow.

No, we're flying back Sunday night. But we will look for you while at your lot.

I am a season ticket holder in VA and I will be flying up there tomorrow. I planned this a long time ago and we always look forward to a Bills game. Yeah, the season has tanked but I will not let that get in the way of a good time. Last I checked, it looks like snow for the game - outstanding! I will not be going to the home finale against the Broncos but I sold my tix to a Bills fan from here that is going home for the holidays.

Oops, sorry. I thought that was about an NFL checkers game: Draught.

This may relate to your question: I tried to stream the Bills game on DTV (which I have this year) when I was in China and I received a message along the lines of "...not allowed outside of US or North America" or something like that. So, I guess it knew by my IP address where I was. However, I went to NFL network after I received that message and was allowed to stream the game through them on their trial version until I was notified that I would have to pay for it to continue watching it. So, one of the possibilities is that DTV only has streaming rights in US/NA but the NFL has streaming rights worldwide. However, that still does not indicate whether they would be able to limit streaming by US region streaming if, for example, a game was not sold out in that region.

Outstanding!!!

Nope...bummed but I couldn't make it up for that game. The Omaha Steak/wine sampler invite almost made me say 'f!ck it' and drive 8 hrs to get there. Your lot has been rockin' the times I have been there this year.

btw Hammer, any activities (scotch sampling tour, Omaha steaks, etc.) at the lot this Sunday?

I use the $15 plan and limit myself to mainly wifi use. Fortunately, I find wifi most places where I go.
