  1. I realize, this belongs in the Consumer Forum, but hopefully we can leave it up here for a while as it's more likely to get responses, thanks.

     

    I'm likely to be buying a new tv but the model I'm favoring most doesn't have CableCard capacity.

     

    I currently have DTV for most of my programming, but am likely to switch to cable once I get a new TV as it's actually cheaper (considering I already have Roarrunner) & offers more. My cable company (TimeWarner Albany) does use CableCards, but they're only the unidirectional ones (i.e. you can't get OnDemand stuff, etc)

     

    Is anyone here using a CableCard?

     

    Do you think getting a tv w/o one is imprudent?

     

    TIA

  2. Quoted from Jeff Burris' recollection of playing at Lambeau field. (Also the game of L Johnson's most (in)famous play).

     

    Going home on the plane, poor Lonnie. We all had something to say and Thurman (Thomas) and those guys were the worst on him. They were brutal. But that's my lasting Lambeau Field memory."
  3. I think good mechanics for a QB is somewhat analogous to good mechanics in a golf swing.

    Any halfway decent hack can hit the occasional good/great golf shot. Someone very athletic can become competent hitting the ball w/ poor mechanics. But occassionally, those poor mechanics will result in terrible shots, whereas solid mechanics will not as easily result in such a total failure.

    If you take a QB w/ 'poor footwork'. Typically, I'll bet they still exibit proper technique probably 50% or more of the time (often when not pressured). Because these guys are so athletically gifted (& trained through many repetitions), even using poor technique, probably 80-90% of the time, the results will be fine. The issue is w/ those perhaps 5-10% of the throws where something is wrong.

  4. What's he doing scrambling?! He was under no pressure at all!

     

    I think it's to simulate a game situation, working on the internal clock. They're down at the 5.

    He's basically got 2 or 3 seconds to get the prescribed play off. When that fails, the progression should be 1 of 2 things.

    1) Roll out of the pocket, effectively 'breaking down' the play allowing receivers time to break free or if that fails, run it himself.

    or

    2) Stay where you are in the pocket and PAT PAT PAT :blink:

  5. Well, my opinion is that given that he's inviting you to the event, particularly to be in it, I'd expect him to offer to pay your way, including your date/wife. I feel that having such an extravant and costly event (due primarily to the location), it would be the reasonable thing to do for the wedding party. Asking someone to pony up >$1k to be in a wedding is too much.

    The fact that he didn't offer, or at least didn't make it clear who would be paying, I don't think it's unreasonable to decline, citing your reasoning.

    I'm by no means Miss Manners, but I guess the difficult thing about manners is behaving well when others don't & put you in an akward position.

  6. Because nuturing is genetic and women think they have the power to change people - when in reality the only one who can make the required decision is the person with the problem.

     

    REminds me of the saying about what a wedding means to a woman -

    Aisle Altar Hymn ;)

  7. Similar to Knightrider, primary vehicle is 2000 2.7T 6 spd, Audi A6. Black.

     

    'Fun' car, is a '68 Charger, 440 auto. RR1 (metallic burgundy). WAY too many modifications/changes to list. Performance is basically stock, but it's highly 'restified'.

  8. its funny how you cant ask a question without getting a smart ass answer

    u dont wanna help just dont reply stupid sons of bitches

     

    I'm sorry & didn't mean anything personal. I was basically taking the opportunity to say something funny. (To some extent, at your expense).

    As the question was worded, I gave a correct response (I couldn't answer the question w/o looking it up in a stats book); just not the response you were looking for.

    Ergo, the 2nd Cliff Claven reference.

     

     

    Be that as it may Alex, those three people have never been in my kitchen.
  9. First girl sang out of tune part of the time. He voice had a bit of a raunchy quality which I don't care for. Your girl Julie didn't put consonants at the end of words. Of course with the national anthem you know what the words are, but another song you might not be able to understand. Tone quality was good and she sang in tune. I am not a fan of the vocal ornamentation she was doing. The third girl sang it a little straighter, She had a very nice tone quality, sang in tune, and enunciated her words better. She sang it in a higher key and had no problems with the higher pitched notes. As a critic, I would say she did the best job

     

    So, if I'm to understand your critique, you'd rank them best to worst, 3, 2, 1.

    Guess that shows how much I know about music, 'cuz I'd rank them in the exact opposite order. :lol:

  10. Just got this emailed to me. Kinda amusing, if not true.
