  1. Well, you've certainly aced the "good husband" test...
  2. A Time-Warner Cable remote control?
  3. Happy Birthday, my good friend!
  4. The Browns cut him 2 weeks ago... http://blog.cleveland.com/plaindealer/2008...rles_bentl.html
  5. Question: Is it a stand-alone bill, or is it loaded with pork and earmark tack-ons? If it's loaded up, don't blame any this or any President that vetoes such. Save ire for Congress...
  6. Much ado about a "Woodie"...
  7. He was certainly a good player for OSU...gritty guy, who never gave up on a play. I'm sorry to hear about his injury. I don't think he was overly "hyped"...he was just one of the usual small crop of collegian Centers that gets talked about. I wish him well.
  8. Tsk, tsk...the first sign of a leftie in one of his usual self-serving snits - foul language. 2nd sign - throw in the President's name. All so very predictable... LOL!
  9. I refer to the slow-footed response by the Louisiana political machine. I appreciate the difference in severity. You're doing a heck of a job, Joe.
  10. I'm very right. The historic filthy politics and politicians of New Orleans and Louisiana were in their usual high dudgeon, protecting their turf. Check out the vastly different efforts and results in States also hit - AL and MS. Other cities and towns in LA. got the warnings and took proper action.
  11. I've seen the tv promos - It's on my list. BTW, wife 'n me saw The Visitor last weekend. Decent flick, somewhat bittersweet.
  12. It's already being done, and it is called regenerative braking. Hybrids use deceleration to impart charge to their batteries. It's part of their very high complexity.
  13. I'd like to answer, pBills. But tomorrow - it's getting late in the evening. Also, I don't know what a "sides point" is.
  14. And color! Nobody ever asks you, but I will. How are you doing? Well, I hope.
  15. Full electrics have been tried and found wanting. There was a neoleft movie a while back..."Who Killed the Electric Car?". It was a slam on GM, and their EV-1 which was released on a test basis in 1998. The same year, Honda did the same, with the all-electric EV Plus. Released on the same basis - lease only. Like GM, they evaluated the feasibility, then took the vehicles back. However, Honda is of course on the right hand of God, and GM got kicked in the nuts. Have you seen the Honda ads about their fuel cell vehicle yet? 300 test units over three years under carefully-controlled circumstances. How craven of Honda. Fuel cell vehicles are far from "prime time". Distribution of gaseous hydrogen is extremely difficult for several reasons, including hydrogen embrittlment of piping and assemblies, the problem of freezing of water condensate, as well as the big bug-a-boo...the water vapor exhaust is a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. Shhh - that's the dirty little secret we don't talk about.
  16. Like Babs and AlGore?
  17. He certainly had a better upbringing by his parents. Maybe the other parents were too busy pricing diamonds or figuring out their vacation plans.
  18. No grief from me. They were an honorable, talented group...and as you cite, some went on to become big names.
  19. Why aren't Bishops Hedd, blzrul, etc., chiming in on this thread?
  20. Missed that. Did it mention the disastrous delays perpetrated by the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans?
  21. I had to put down a more or less 15 year old cat 3 weeks ago. Wallaby - a stray we picked out of a snowbank years ago. It was time, and she knew it. Held in our arms, the vet gave a shot to make her sleep - took about 5 minutes. Then the shot to stop the heart. The cost was $128 with cremation of the remains.
  22. I buy a red pepper spray from a garden shop that helps. When it gets chronic, I lay down some diazinon pesticide. That generally stops the sniffing nose...pronto.
  23. You may be right. See also CIN.
