  1. They should have listed were each of them were. Have to wonder what someone was thinking when they came up with a couple of those and usually there is more than one person involved in agreeing what to put there.
  2. Not to go into a different direction but it is unusual that someone mentions two things that are within my life's experience. My grandfather had a barber shop on Highland Ave. I am guessing from the 1930's until the 1960's. That was a nice Italian part of town back then. Don't know how well you know the old area but it was a block before the Italian grocery store that eventually turned into Tops. Same family anyway. So a couple of years back I was driving down 104 with my wife going to the one of the hotels that overlook the falls on the Canadian side and I am following the GPS. I look up at it and it says somewhere ahead is Highland Ave. So I thought it would be nice to see what it looked like. Holy Crap. Two in the afternoon and I didn't feel safe. Most of the buildings gone and those that were still there were in terrible shape. Couldn't recognize anything that looked like it was my Grandfather's place. So where did you sail? I used to sail on the upper Niagara in the 60's.
  3. The difference between Roethlisberger and Fitz is in their arm. Fitz doesn't have the arm to get the ball where he has to as quick as he has to. For that matter Kelly used to take risks all the time. But he had the arm to pull it off most of the time. Interesting. I had to come back an edit this because a few posts after the post I responded to, you were saying the same thing I said here.
  4. Greatest post ever. A bunch of average looking guys playing. Check out 10:15 McDole gets clipped on a high/low hit, immediately gets up and chases the QB. He was all over the field that day.
  5. "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." Very applicable to professional athletes. Also works for the educational system. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
  6. NCAA = Olympic Committee = FIFA The common thread in these three is the issue.
  7. We had an antenna like the one pictured on a rotor. The main purpose of our rotor was Hockey Night in Canada. Glued to the TV every Wed and Sat night, could even make a quick bathroom run during the game because if you missed something, you missed it. No replay put a lot of strain on the bladder. I just now remembered when if first started to be implemented, you could only get a replay during the period breaks or after the game. So I am thinking the first delayed replays came somewhere around 65-67.
  8. I liked the smell they gave off after you ran them for a while.
  9. Back then, McDole's success in Wash showed just how good the Bills defense was in the mid-60's. I still wish the Bills would have managed one trip to the early Super Bowls.
  10. I bet that duck was made from plastic because paperboard is just too expensive!
  11. I have never watched "Breaking Bad." But if it is anything like this I will have to check it out.
  12. So many here were watching this show, I thought I would give it a try today. Not many shows can hook you on Season 1 Episode 1.

  14. Back a few years ago my son convinced me we should try mining. He put together a rig with 3 GPU's. He also joined a mining group figuring it would increase the odds of success. As it turns out he actually "struck gold" as our rig solved a chain. I can't remember what our net take was but he still has the Litecoin. I can understand how you heated your house with it. Our rig heated at least two rooms. If I remember correctly, the electric bill went up about $80-$100 a month. So I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. Did you join a group or do you do it as an individual? If as an individual, how often do you solve for coins? If you heat the house in the winter, what do you do in the summer? I may have missed it but are you mining for Litecoin or for Bitcoin? If you are mining Litecoin, do you cash it in immediately or hold for speculation? Thanks for the info. I may be willing to take another shot at it.
  15. Can I step back in time and say "Freddies." They were a rare treat when I was a kid. Just too far away. Anyone know what has happened to that location?
  16. I am not sure I follow the logic in this. The only thing I can figure is it has Fruits and Nuts in it. I know if I get suet with Fruit and Nuts the birds love it, and since in the UK women are called birds, which are basically chicks this is basically meant for chicks.
  17. Wow, how did you get those choices from my post?
  18. Your children are only young once. And from experience, when you go from a 19 minute drive to a 45+ minute drive, it is going to seem a lot more than that.
  19. I would have to put headphones on to hear the difference. It would also be nice to hear the MP3 version for comparison. Yes I get what they are saying by having a track that plays the differences. Oddly enough, from the same site is an article on what Neil Young is pushing. Yes I get what they are saying by having a track that plays the differences. I can tell you by my ears anyway, a 10 year old Sony MP3 player was much better than an IPhone or laptop. It opened up my listening world to alternate hardware. http://gizmodo.com/dont-buy-what-neil-young-is-selling-1678446860
  20. I would have thought a lot of offensive linemen from the 60's and 70's would be having issues. Remember when the Defensive linemen were able to club them in the head while they were rushing. I remember one defensive lineman say he could see the offensive lineman playing against him was zippy after he hit him a couple of times.
  21. If that is true, there is still some housecleaning yet to be done. There mid-season pick ups have done well. This could be a year where that is really missed.
  22. I suppose the Bills would have been better if they just left the holes? Every team loses players, you replace them, either by draft or free agency. Not sure what world you live in?
  23. Thanks for that. Sounds like Hollywood studio's are filled with politicians.
