  1. Oh come on now. You may not like him, but he's a terrific songwriter.
  2. I see no problem with a two-tiered system. You are providing a baseline coverage for everyone and offering a higher level for those willing to pay for it. The market tends to force companies into efficient practices over time. Plus, it would reduce wait times overall.
  3. If we had lost at Cinci last year, D'Brick would have been a Bill
  4. Why am I hearing Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" in my head when I'm reading this?
  5. Really? I guess thats about as sure an admission that they fugged up the logo as any. I think its great.
  6. I smoke Marlboro Red. I have for approx 15 years, since high school. Inkman, how did you quit. I'm just beginning to consider quitting as a possibility.
  7. Because we want to.

  9. Link? I didn't see this.
  10. I finally agree with Melrose on somethinG!!!
  11. I do hope that maybe we have found a few long term pieces (Peters and Fowler) to build the OL. Perhaps Gandy works at LG, maybe Pennington can be the answer at RT (he sure has the size, the guyt is bigger than MW, hopefully he plays with a nasty streak). Our problem on the OL would then be reduced to Gs, much easier to acquire than Ts. Perhaps, a draft pick and Steinbach? That would sure solidfy the OL.
  12. Or he can drive to Toronto.
  13. You gotta love her quote...
  14. Thats what I want the life insurance for. My understanding is that if both my wife & I die and my son is the beneficiary, he will receive the life insurance amount, tax-free. The objective would be if something happened to either my wife or I, the house would be paid off, there would be $1 mil to cover everything else. Should I be the one to die, it would double due to my company's insurance policy. If we both died, and we each were covered for $1 mil, there would be $2 mil for my son. So, what type of policy would be best for me?
  15. It depends. Lets see what Peters does at LT. If he looks like the guy for the next decade, then perhaps DT is where we should go. Depending on where we pick, maybe a deal down and taking the best available G (usually not picked till the 20s), while getting an xtra late 1st rd pick (CB anyone?) is the right move. I still think its too early to say.
  16. Ok Chef Jim, then explain it to me. If all I want is $1 mil for the other person, if my wife or I die, and $2 mil to our son if we both die, what should I buy? I don't care all that much about doing anything with the policy (borrowing from it etc.), and I am soon signing up for a policy wherein if either my wife or I die, our existing home mortgage would be paid off. I also have my employer;'s policy (with disability insurance, so that I'd be covered in the event of an illness that causes me to miss a bunch of work time). Thus, my question is what to buy, given my stated objectives.
  17. I never used the casebooks, so I never bought them. I saved the $$$, because those can get expensive. Also, there is rarely, if ever, any analysis in them. If I needed to read a case, I printed it from Westlaw or LEXIS (free for law students). I went to UB Law School. It was a lot of fun, basically an extension of college. That is a comment you will not hear about too many law schools. Many of my friends, who went elsewhere, hated law school. My wife, a lawyer, also had a miserable experience at New York Law. Be careful where you choose to go. Also, UB was MUCH cheaper, I finished paying off my loans 2 years ago. My wife has another 15 years on hers.
  18. Really? I say that because I went to law school, graduated with honors and have been a practicing attorney in NYC for the past 6 years. I can assure you, the casebook is nothing more than a nice paperweight. After my first year of school, I never bought one.
  19. Not in every instance. I can't add my wife to my policy through my employer. I took a separate policy through my job for her, but its max is only 20k. Compared to my $1 mil, it would do very little in the event something happened.
  20. I think downtown started turning around back in 1988, with the construction of Pilot Field. It was the first major development in downtown in years, it was done right and that started the trend that now counts the Loft Apts, HSBC Arena and Chippewa St as successes.
  21. See if your company offers it as a benefit, many do. My life insurance is thru my company.
  22. Casebooks = useless paperweights.
