He runs the Business Insider website. I never truly minded Blodget...he just got a bit carried away. However, he still can analyze a stock using fundamentals. Thats why I agree with his FB analysis.

I agree with Blodget in this article below. I will not buy FB. I will try to short them to the levels in the article, when shares become available for short. Personally, I think they will go the MySpace route. http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-facebook-worth-2012-5

Very cool man...much obliged!

Thanks a lot for the help. So what type of lens would be a good one to start with for the sports (indoor and outdoor)? I figure getting one good for sports will also help taking other pictures since sports would be the fastest pace thing I'm likely to be shooting.

Thanks for the responses. A few additional queries... What speed should I be looking for? Both of my kids love playing sports and I'd like to get something that allows me to take action shots. What about buying a camera used say on craigslist? Is it worth it or should I just go for new? EDIT: Say something like this? http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/pho/3009317117.html

Looking for a bit of advice. I always wanted to get into photography and have a bit of time to do so now. I was looking for camera/lens recommendations and possibly a class or two (online preferably) that could teach you how to fully use its capabilities. Shots will be mostly the family, action sports of my kids and outdoors. I have seen some shots others have taken and have been impressed. Looking to do something similar. Thanks for any advice.

The cofounder of Facebook just gave up US citizenship, pre-pricing of the IPO. Facebookistan?

An excellent point and one I had not thought of.

I really don't hate any of the teams left. Don't think I can root for Phoenix, they have not suffered enough as fans to deserve the Cup. I could get behind LA, NYR, Was or NJ. No real rooting interest, just want to watch some good hockey.

This is simply stunning to me. Any accountant types on the board want to verify this report? http://www.wthr.com/video?clipId=7054149&autostart=true

Yeah...absolutely!

I think a realistic argument can be made that Rivera was the best pitcher of his era 1995-2013, SP or RP.

But did you have the best Dr.s, rehab folks and were in truly elite condition? I think he'll be back for 2013. There's even talk from Jeter that Rivera could make it back for October which would be nothing short of a medical miracle. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heyman/18957531/the-great-mariano-will-try-to-pull-off-one-more-miracle----a-2012-return

I promise you...his career WILL resume either in the playoffs or in 2013. Mo is not going out like that.

I actually have a working CB radio in my Jeep Wrangler. Off-road event organizers usually won't let you on any off-road trails without one as cellular service rarely works. When I'm driving on the interstate at nite, sometimes I'll put on the CB and just listen to the truckers. Truly comical entertainment!

WTF? I'd say...hell ya! Hit that every day and twice on Sunday. Hot little party girl is just my type!

Need a pic for verification. And does she own a liquor store?

When this draft is re-graded in 3 years, Glenn will be a top 15 pick and the best LT in the draft. I cannot say again how truly excited I am that the Bills finally addressed LT with a fantastic pick.

Whoooooooo-HHoooooooooooo Have not been this excited for a 2nd rounder in forever! We got a starting left tackle for the next decade who is a Marcus McNeil clone. I love life right now!

I just place a different value on secondary players. I'd only draft front 7 defensive players, OL and QB in the top half of the 1st round. Just a different approach.

Not in one draft, but over the course of a couple. I did not see CB as a pressing need for this season (which is what I think you meant). We have 2 players in McGee and Florence who are decent, a former #11 pick in McLovin and last year's #2 in Williams. They will play off-man to try and jump routes that are rushed because of our pass rush. No man-to-man single coverage is planned. I saw CB as a 3rd round need at best. As for pass rushers...what if Mario goes down? The Giants had Umeyoria go down last year, plugged in JPP and he flourished. When they drafted JPP, the immediate reaction was that the Giants didn't need another DE. Now he's All-Pro. You can never have too many pass rushers. Ingram would have been a great pick. Fair point, lets see what happens tonight. Anything beyond Round 3 is usually a bit of a project anyway. The real impact guys are in the top half of the 1st round. Thats why I'd never take a CB there unless I had everything else filled. You can always get lucky in the later rounds (see McGee, Terrence...a CB...LOL!) but its a bit of a crapshoot.

You could take a CB every year in the 2nd or 3rd Rounds, I agree with that approach. Just not the 1st, especially in the top 10 when your team has so many other holes. I italicized the really important part of that. LT - not addressed. More pass rushers - not addressed LB - not addressed WR - not addressed Address those then take all the 1st round CBs you want. And you know that the real value lies in not following the herd but in doing the contra move. That applies in almost anything! I understand he was not picked. If he falls to us at 41 (or we deal up for him, unlikely) I will be ecstatic. And if not, hopefully Martin or Brown proves able. And you are welcome to throw this series of posts at me if Glenn flames out. I like the guy a lot and think when the draft is graded out for real in 3-4 years that Glenn will easily be in the top 15 guys who would go if the draft was held again.
