OK. I googled this. Apparently Dish Network and DirecTV will offer mun2 free of charge on 8/12. mun2 is showing the game in English.

What the hell is this? How can this game not be broadcast?

Dammit. Beat me to it. Glad to see another Kinks fan on the board.

A man's not a man 'til a man has a rod!

The concerts shut down at 10:00 because of a city noise ordinance. The Cult didn't come on until 8:45. They went a few minutes past 10, but not by much.

When study after study shows that just talking on a cell phone is as dangerous as driving drunk (let alone texting), isn't it time we raise the fines and penalties to the equivalent sentencing guidelines for DWI?

Very sad. http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/jul/27/27.../news-breaking/

I thought it was going to be Fuzzy Zoeller's that hung up in the rough for 10 seconds before rolling back in

Shouldn't that be: "He's been on the lamb ever since."

Let me be clear: I'm not betting. However I went to Ladbrokes.com to see what kind of odds the bookmakers were giving us. What I saw was: USA vs Mexico: 2.20 Home 3.00 Draw 3.00 Away Does anyone understand these numbers? I couldn't find anything apparent on Ladbrokes website explaining what these numbers mean.

I DVR'd it and finally watched it last night. What about the girl in the club @30 min into the show? Right when she sits down next to TO on the sofa, notice the "total upskirt shot". I'm surprised that didn't get edited.

Apparently we also have the "Great American Outlet Mall" near downtown. I have no idea what it is, but it exists according to Google Maps. I guess Colter Bay is the anchor????

Apparently Erin Andrews' hotel room

I say: good for him! Sometimes these fast food workers need a little "prompting".

Really? No cougar jokes yet? I was on a cougar hunt at Page's last Friday.

About 18 protons and 27 neutrons

I missed the game last night but caught on a replay of Tosh.0 a couple of nights ago. I wish YouTube had a frame-by-frame feature.

I don't know about "the new cant" but I hear

I missed it. Good catch.

Dammit. I guess I did a "piss-poor" job of reading the article.

Not too bad of a guess. I did find this. It is a cooling water system. I'm guessing freshwater because of the "closed system" but the answer isn't definitive. Water used in the reactor and most other plant systems is piped in from the Miami-Dade municipal water supply. We then purify the water at the plant to reduce mineral deposits that could otherwise reduce equipment efficiency and we test the water quality routinely in the plant's on-site laboratory. A separate supply of water that cools the turbine steam supply for reuse comes from a unique, closed system of 36 interconnected canals. The canals act like a giant radiator to cool the water in a two-day, 168-mile journey before it is circulated back to the condenser for reuse.

I didn't notice where it says "Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station". That doesn't really stand out. Thanks. But I was talking about the 4-5 miles of parallel berms to the south west. Is that a cooling water area? Or maybe a desalinization area?

I was looking at Southern Florida at Google Maps when <this> massive construction (obviously man made) caught my eye. What the heck is it? Some sort of fishery? Hatchery? Google wasn't exactly fruitful since I didn't know what I was looking at. Then I thought maybe someone at this board could clue me in.

I always remember him as Herb Brooks. I must've watched Miracle on Ice a dozen times when I was growing up. It was on Ch 29 all the time back in the day.

<They have now> And it includes some info on the border situation: "While Ava’s story reveals an occasional shortage of neonatal beds in Canada, it also raised another question: Did tougher restrictions at the U. S.-Canada border since June 1 play any role in her parents having to wait three days to visit her? U. S. border officials insist the answer is no. After Ava was brought to Buffalo, her parents thought that their lack of passports, combined with Paquette’s recovery from caesarean surgery, prevented them from following her across the border. So Stinson and Paquette monitored Ava’s condition by phone for three days. U. S. Customs officials told them on Sunday that they were free to travel to Buffalo, which they did. The couple then returned to Hamilton on Monday to deal with an infection in Paquette’s incision. Authorities say Paquette and Stinson never were denied entry to the United States, despite his criminal past from more than 15 years ago. They didn’t try to cross the border until Sunday, when U. S. Customs told them that Stinson would be eligible for what’s called “humanitarian parole.” “We have the ability to grant humanitarian parole to a person who otherwise would be inadmissible,” explained Kevin A. Corsaro, a chief at the local U. S. Customs and Border Protection office. “Under normal circumstances, we would not separate parents from a sick child.” So that was some piss poor reporting by Joanna Frketich at The Hamilton Spectator trying to disparage US Customs - neglecting to mention the father had a criminal past nor that the parents never even tried to enter the U.S.
