  1. Best job ever, methinks.
  2. I've actually been trying a "soul patch." It's something different.
  3. Yes. Very penetrating.
  4. I wonder if Emmert will get suspended for "lack of institutional control"....
  5. Fully expecting so. Either 2-14 or 3-13.
  6. Looks like Brandon did a lot of growing up since his last jaunt. No more God talk. No more Mr. Hantz Redemption. Hope =
  7. Season premiere tonight @ 8. (BTW, where did ajzepp go? Miss ya, buddy!)
  8. Who needs Brent Whosy-whaty? Just roll this slideshow! SI Swimsuit Edition extras: Caught in the Webb http://swimdaily.si.com/2013/02/11/caught-in-the-webb/
  9. Yep. I go with an over-the-air antenna with crystal-clear HDTV picture and Netflix. I just get the sense that more and more people are finally getting tired of the restrictions and rigidity of cable/satellite. Chef, in/around SF, you can pick up an inexpensive, small set-top antenna and get locals for news/weather, network broadcasts, etc. As for HoC, I looked at the abstract other day and made a mental note to watch it when I get the time. Netflix also recently added "The West Wing" to their Instant line-up, and tho I'm not of the political stripe of the central characters, I loved the quality of that show, John Spencer and Bradley Whitford most of all. It was everything that teevee should aspire to be WRT writing, acting and production. Holding out hopes for HoC. The series borrows on themes from a highly-regarded British series of the same name produced probably 25-30 years ago.
  10. Well, I'm not sure David is interested in dating guys who eat lentils. But you never know...!
  11. On another front in the same region.... Mystery over 'explosion' at Iran's Fordow nuclear facility http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/9831282/Mystery-over-explosion-at-Irans-Fordow-nuclear-site.html
  12. I guess Dario got a little tired of tucking it between his legs.
  13. Ashley Judd splits with race car-driving husband Dario Franchitti
  14. One of the guys on the crew dug out her high heels (she lost them on the second step), scraped 'em off with the trowel, and told her she'd better wash her feet off before it started to burn. She said nothing.
  15. I was pouring concrete sidewalks at a mall at a summer job while at the U ~10 years ago. We had orange cones out. Our backs were to two ladies walking while we were smoothing the surface. One lady is on her cell, the other was walking beside. Lady on the cell walks between the orange cones and takes three --- count 'em 3 --- steps into the concrete. SMH.
  16. Neuralize? "We just need a routine retinal scan for our files; please look directly into the light."
  17. It doesn't premiere until 17 Feb.
  18. Thanks, Blue. Just wonder when 7.13 comes out. I don't use Java for anything else, pogo is a safe site and my 5-y.o. niece wanted to play her 'Wonderland Memories' game (it's a turn on the turn-over card memory games... only with cookie designs she has to match). I swear, she's destined to be the first female Commander of the Joint Chiefs.... I loathe using it, but I'll try IE.
  19. Nope. Checked that and it's actually called something else in the Firefox Add-on list, but that is listed as a 7.11 and was updated yesterday, is enabled.... and nothing. That seems to be the situation, whether I like it or not. Kind of sucks that you spend $ (actually, I get it thru the MyCokeRewards points) and then can't use it....
  20. Pogo.com, a games site operated by EA, uses Java. Haven't used my laptop, running Firefox as a browser, in some time and updated Java to the update 11 for version 7 and now the games on Pogo don't load, say I need to install Java Runtime Environment 1.7 u10 and when I click to do that, the update fails, says to try it manually and gives a link to download.... Java 7.11 which I've already installed. I've uninstalled all Java, re-installed. Installed previous versions that had worked before. Nada on pogo. Nada on the java.com test page. I tried last night, installed The latest java, and rebooted the computer. Then tried again. Both keep telling me that I don't have Java installed and to install it. Wtf?
  21. Anybody else hear the f-bomb a couple of minutes ago? Someone was saying something about "my ----ing ring, man!"
  22. Dude, my neighbor who's in the CT State Police Major Crimes was one of the principle investigators at SH. It was very real, and that video is absolute stevestojan.
  23. Not to mention that removing and replacing the buttressing in order to create wider concourses at the 300 level.... Having a background in construction, I'm not sure of the structural feasibility of that (that's a lot of weight on the upper deck), nor would it be anywhere near worth its cost. It's one thing to have the idea and think it would be nice, it's quite another to make it work architecturally. I would save major structural changes like that for the next stadium. Pretty much all they should be doing with RWS is improving the fan experience with smaller-scale projects like more screens, wifi, cabling, more minor structural stuff, paint, etc.
