  1. I know this was posted a while back, but the search came up empty. Where is a good (cheap) place to buy bills shirts and such online. The bills pro shop is way to pricey. I recall a site called either the hut or shack. Thanks!

  2. In the past, the bills store would offer discounts at the end of the season, this year there was hardly anything good to choose from. Anyone know where to get GOOD quality at better then pro shop prices. I remember someone posting this a while back and mentioned either "The Hut" or "The Shack" but I don't remember the website.

     

    Thanks

  3. Cool images across the globe too, I saw mt vesuvious in naples. (Also the landmarks in rome are nice too look at) You can look into the crater and see the path that the tourists take to get up close. I did that a few years back its really amazing.

    Radio Contest Winner Sues Over Candy Bar

     

    LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A woman who won a radio contest that promised the winner "100 grand" sued after the station gave her a candy bar - a Nestle's 100 Grand - instead of $100,000.

     

    Norreasha Gill filed a complaint Wednesday in Fayette District Court against Atlanta-based Cumulus Media, which owns WLTO-FM in Lexington. Gill, 28, says the station and its parent company breached a contract to pay $100,000 to the contest winner.

     

    Night host DJ Slick sponsored the station's contest to "win 100 grand," Gill said in the lawsuit. Gill won by listening to the radio show for several hours and being the 10th caller at a specified time.

     

    She went to the radio station the next morning to pick up her prize, but was asked to return later. When she got home, she found that the station manager had left a message explaining she had won a 100 Grand candy bar, not money.

     

    Later, he offered her $5,000, Gill said.

     

    "I said I wanted $95,000 more," she said. "Nobody would watch and listen for two hours for a candy bar."

     

    DJ Slick did not return an e-mail from the Herald-Leader, but he said on his Web site that he had left his job. WLTO and Cumulus declined to comment, identify DJ Slick by his given name or say whether he was fired.

     

    Experts said the radio station could face action by the Federal Communications Commission, which licenses radio stations.

     

    FCC regulations say contest descriptions can't be false or deceptive and that stations must conduct contests as advertised. Stations in two other states have been fined for contests that told listeners they'd won cash prizes without specifying they were in the Italian or Turkish lira, not the U.S. dollar.

     

    Before her family went to sleep that night, Gill says, she promised her children - ages 1, 5 and 11 - that they'd have a minivan, a shopping spree, a savings account and a home with a back yard.

     

    "What hurts me is they were going to get me in front of my children, all dressed up, and hand me a candy bar, after all those promises I made to them," she told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "You just don't do that to people."

    Opie and Anthony did this several years ago when they were on in Boston, its even on their CD. Guy was really pi$$ed off, but didn't sue anyone.

  5. Maybe after the throwback sales are counted?  And wasn't there an article a couple of years back that said the Buffalo area was third, behind GB and KC in homes that contained some sort of team merchandise?

    I use to buy from BB.com at the end of the season when they would discount their items. I'm not talking about Rob Johnson jerseys, but regular items. I haven't seen that this year yet.

  6. I am a happy directv customer, however my dad has moved in with us and he had dish network for the international programming, specifically the Italian channel. So I called Dish network to have it installed along side with my directv service. Installer came over, went on the roof and said we didn't have a good shot to the satellite and left. Now I have Directv and my signal strength is in the 90's. The installer said the Directv is aimed at 30 degree azimuth (sp) and dsh needs 23 degrees.

     

    Quesion is should he at least of tried to get a signal before dismissing us so quickly?

  7. To be honest you are probably safer having someone build you a computer on this board and to ship it to you rather then to buy one on ebay...

     

    At least here you can get the person's information

    Ok any volunteers? (Paid Volunteers of course) :P

  8. Been thinking of buying a new pc. Only used for Internet, photos, MS office. No gaming or video requirements as of now. I don't want a Celeron or anything too light weight. Saw some deals on Ebay, whats the feeling on buying new PC's from Ebay. Any scams I should be made aware of?

  9. I can't believe it's been 10 years. God Bless all the victims and their families.

    All those kids, that photograph of the firefighter with the lifeless body of a small child in his hands will haunt me forever.

     

    "Timmy" got off to easy. We need some good ole islamic style executions in the US.

  10. Agreed. Totonno's is the best-- but if hanging around the City,

    Grimaldi's is possible,  Totonno's is a bit away- and you should really know where you are if looking for Totonnos.

  11. Best Pizza (patsy Grimaldi's) just over the brooklyn bridge (yes in Brooklyn)  some of the best views of the city from the promenade.

     

    Mexican- try Ariba, Ariba @ 50th and 9th or 10th Ave.  fun attosmphere (club type music- low lights) and good food.
