  1. Here is another example of a "transition" performance. Notice the TV host in the background dancing - I thought that was funny as hell! BTW - this is one of my favorite floyd songs Let There Be More Light And another Floyd Fav: Cymbaline
  2. great find - syd barrett wrote that song but Gilmour is in the video - it must have been when Gilmour was not an official member of the band yet, but covered for Syd when he was unable to play due to his mental instability

  4. Lesnar appears to be unstoppable. I was actually surprised how well Randy wrestled with Lesnar in the clinch. There was a lot of strategic wrestling going on there between two masters. However, did anyone notice that when Randy tried to take Lesnar down that he could not reach around Brock's back. The dude is just too massive. Add his speed and he is a monster. The only heavyweights I see stopping him are Mir (who already did) and Gonzaga given their BJJ abilities. However, people need to get their head's checked if they think he has a remote chance against Fedor. Fedor would either knock him out (e.g. Tim Sylvia) or submit him in the first round.
  5. There is a God! Two seasons too late - but there is a god. The pistol has backfired
  6. Bridging exercises like planks are great but should be done with a rotational exercise. I do "corkscrews" with a medicine ball. IT IS A KILLER!!! Corkscrew
  7. This is not obscure for Pink Floyd fans, but it is for people who may be casual fans:
  8. Battlestar Galactica is no longer on - but it was the best show. It was really great.
  9. Heroes, Lost, and the new show Fringe (combo of X-Files and Lost).
  10. Make sure you watch the "un-edited" version of the Couric interview. "Drill Baby, Drill"
  11. I both studied and worked abroad in London. I spent a semester there and then after I graduated I worked for a law office through a work exchange program. Bring electrical outlet converters! Bring lots and lots of money since the dollar is so weak (try to get a job under the table working in a pub so you can ear the domestic currency and you will meet all sorts of people - and beautiful women who will love your "Accent.") Buy a camping backpack for traveling and put a maple leaf patch on your back-pack. Just say you are canadian when asked.
  12. keep dropping lower! I am only 33 and I just ramped up my 401(k) contribution.
  13. St. Pierre and Penn are my two favorite fighters and I think are tied for best pound-for-pound fighter. Now that BJ is taking his training seriously he is a threat to beat St. Pierre. I can't wait for that fight. I am looking forward to that one more than LEsnar v. Couture. And for what it is worth, Fedor would crush Randy. I think, (I know I may get crushed for this) Arlovski v. Fedor would be interesting.
  14. Are we doing it again this year?
  15. Elite XC is to MMA as Highschool Football is to the NFL. Want to expereince MMA - watch the UFC event on November 15 - Lesnar v. Couture.
  16. I just don't think "oh golly gee wiz" is a great foreign or domestic policy.
  17. The talk of "useable nukes" or "tactical nukes" or "mini-nukes" (article here )was pursued by the Bush administration after 9-11. They wanted to use them as bunker busters. I don't trust McCain to use the restraint of Bush (ack! I can't believe I said that.). I think Mccain is unhinged. Just my opinion. He scares the crap out of me. Also, nobody can convince me he does not suffer from PTSD and is going untreated for it. I worked with survivors of torture in D.C. for a non-profit. There is no way you walk away from his experience as a well-adjusted person. It just does not happen.
  18. The Scott Ritter part is especially chilling - and likely right on: McCain is scary
  19. Wright also had great solo work - Waters was a dick to him in the middle of his meglomaniac stage and caused Wright to be fired from the band. Floyd is my favorite band and this is very sad news. It is especially sad for those who were hoping for a Floyd reunion show post Live-8. Syd and Richard are playing some crazy music someplace else right now.
  20. Holy Crap - he recently had gotten his life back in order too.
