  1. You reached out to this board and it responded with compassion and advice and I hope that helps. All I can add is one more voice of compassion. I wish you all the best.
  2. . ..or if your sample set is too limited you could arrive at the wrong solution for all the right reasons.
  3. ...or there's more than one possible solution. If we can assume a '+" somehow relates to a*b + (a-1)*a no reason we couldn''t also assume the sequence of the equations has significance. In truth, I like the a*b + (a-1)*a solution better, just thought it was interesting that I came at it from a slightly different angle.
  4. I was assuming the order of the equations mattered and was independent of a: 3+7 = 3*7 + 3*1 = 24 2+3 = 2*3 + 2*2 = 10
  5. FWIW, I looked at it using a sequence: 1. 2+3=8 2. 3+7=27 3. 4+5=32 4. 5+8=60 5. 6+7=72 6. 7+8=? Using the sequence number, this equation works: a*b + seq*a = c 7*8 +6*7 = 98
  6. His principles only went so far: "If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right" http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/08/colin-kaepernick-49ers-national-anthem-sit-explains
  7. Just saw the pool story: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/california-couple-spent-hours-pool-survive-wildfires-article-1.3560722
  8. The crossing guards at the schools in my area driver newer and nicer cars than me.
  9. Hmm, no frozen grapes...guess we'll have to go back....for the grapes! BTW, wrong thread but happy birthday!
  10. Only time I was in Vegas was a few years ago, bookends of a trip to Bryce/Zion. I'm not a gambler, but glad I got a small taste of the strip. Wife was horrified, I was amused. Saw the Cirque "O" show and while it was good, we both thought it was highly over-priced and over-rated. Off the strip, others have mentioned Red Rocks and skiing, I'll put in a good word for the Valley of Fire. Hot as f*ck but jaw dropping. On the flight home my son (9 at the time) is drawing vacation pictures and wifey asks what it is and he says it's a girl in a bikini. She asks where he saw that and he looks up incredulously and says "Mom, there were a lot of bikinis in Las Vegas...A LOT!!"
  11. I expect that they will part with quality draft picks if/when it makes sense. In season seems unlikely.
  12. My fathers (RIP) come back: "That's because I wasn't foreman on the job!" Apologies for the irrelevance to the thread. WRT to OP....since when are impactful personnel changes made in season in the NFL? This isn't baseball. Not saying it never happens but I think its rare and I agree with others that there is no way I could see McBeane spending draft capital for a quick fix.
  13. Have Jose Ramirez and the guy who played Bubba in Forrest Gump ever been seen in the same place together?
  14. One way I can rationalize 2+2=4 and 3+2=4 would be to extract the extra 1 from the left side of each equation to make them equivalent and then add up the right sides to get 1 and 8 or 18...Kyle Ortons number as a Bill...clearly you are still obsessed with Kyle getting on the Wall.
  15. LMFAO. Mine are a bit older so I haven't seen one for years....but I remember being in awe of the same thing.
  16. There seem to be a lot of complaints about duplicate and unnecessary threads and I wonder if there would be a similar proliferation of clubs. Also, I'm assuming this is a feature that could be turned on in the future after the initial migration to the new site so my suggestion is to hold off on adding clubs for now.
  17. KISS principle: Keep It Simple Scott. Leave the past behind and focus your time and effort on the new site features and setup. Good luck with the new software and thanks for all you do.
  18. That's a pretty lofty standard to set. Hasn't worked out so well for Drew Brees the past few years.
  19. Easy call to make after the game is over.
  20. I'm not defending Cam, but isn't it part of the gig that a coach or player will say something stupid/denigrating to an interviewer from time to time? I feel like I've seen that a million times and I might chuckle (or groan) at the comment and maybe think less of the coach/player for being a d*ck but thats it for me.
  21. Esplain it to me Lucy. Winning "these types of games" makes us less likely to win "other types of games"? Do you think the next two wins will be easy? Maybe we can decide which weeks to take a breather based on the opponent or your expert opinion. BTW, please let me know the "better 1-3 teams I've seen recently" that the Bills will be facing.
  22. Goldfinger is a personal fame of fine. Punk/pop/ska: And if you like that, another great song that never gets enough play from the Jim Carroll Band (one hit wonder to me):
