Totally agree. As weird as the guy is, and I don't really care for the vast majority of his stuff, he is an incredibly gifted musician. Also: http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...ted-guitarists/ I think several of these guys have been mentioned so far. Although I disagree on several on this list.

I keep thinking they could package in Parrish with something else to get a higher pick if they are set on trading him. If Parrish is worth a 5 (I'd prefer a 4), then what could he be packaged with to get us into the 2nd or 3rd round? Parrish + Kelsey = low 3rd? Parrish + one of our 4ths = low second/high third? Parrish + both 4ths = early to mid second? I don't know, just thinking that they could get more out of him in a package deal instead of by himself. And no, I haven't looked at any value chart.

What bugs me every year that I pay (and I seem to pay every year ) is that it's not like the gov't really needed the money. I could have done numerous things with the few hundred $'s I pay the gov't every April. I could have even spent more than those few hundred on donations or investments or whatever, and instead of owing, gotten a refund. The gov't didn't really need it, because there are so many different ways I could have spent it, that they would have been just fine with what I'd already paid in. And if I'd spent $1 more, they would have been happy to send me a check. The gov't apparently just doesn't like the way I manage my own money. Since I didn't do anything they approve of with that money, it should obviously go to the gov't so they can waste it. Because from watching the gov't it's obvious that they know how to manage money... IMO, I should have the choice every April to either give my money to the gov't or spend it on 1 of the various entities as I see fit. As long as I'm gonna get f'd, I should at least get the reach around of my choice.

Hey, if they traded Peters and ended up with 2 first round picks, they could end up with a Vontae Davis/ Malcolm Jenkins tandem. You might want to invest in a home defibrillator Bill.

Well, I personally don't think Hangy would be the starter if we select Mack. Plus, he gives us some room for when (not if) Butler goes down with an injury. Just because Johnson is perhaps the best DE left on the board doesn't mean I think he's all that and a bag of chips. I realize we need a pass rush, but I don't think the answer is Johnson or Barwin.

I would have loved for one of the DL or LB's that were taken in this mock in the first to have slid to us in the second. That would have made this easy. Maybe with the new OL a 3rd round TE, and TO, our offense will never get off the field?

Had they not picked up Oher in Rd 1, I would think he's a distinct possibility. I voted Mack. I think you can get just as good a value at TE later as you could with the ones already in the poll. I don't think any of the DE's left are a better value than Mack. Same with the LB's. I would be interested to see a Wood/Mack discussion though. I would have loved to address the front 7 on D at some point in the first two rounds, but you never know how the draft will shake out.

The problem at this point is that most of their Watch Instantly movies are that the majority are older movies or movies that didn't generate a lot of revenue. Also some companies (like Sony) don't want their movies streamed because they're trying to get people to switch to a new format (Blu-ray). So the selection is a bit on the poor side. I do use the service with my Xbox, and it's great for what it is. I'm hopeful one day they'll get a better selection out there. The OnDemand stuff from the cable company has a better selection of newer stuff, but as has been pointed out, it's much more expensive. I can watch all the movies I want on Netflix for $8.99/month.

Hindsight is always 20/20 (hopefully). Not being an expert on BB's failings I can't say for sure. But it didn't take a genius years ago to see that media was moving to the digital format. I would bet BB's management is kicking themselves for not moving to something along the lines of the iTunes setup, along with the Netflix setup. I think iTunes success shows that although people do like free, a successful business can be made out of us remaining suckers that will still pay for legal convenience. They could have had a much easier road than iTunes since although people could pirate movies, it wasn't nearly as rampant as music pirating. Had they gotten an online delivery system together, along with agreements from movie studios, IMO they could have been poised to be a leader in the movie rental business for years to come, instead of a failed bankrupt company. With a proper delivery system in place, they could have started branching out to TV manufacturers and the TIVO guys and started integrating their system all over the place like companies are now starting to do. Not to mention integration with all the handheld mp3/video players and cell phones that are now out. Not only did BB miss the boat on digital media, they couldn't even find the ocean. As far as Netflix goes, the little I think I know makes me bet their Blu-ray price increase has something to do with Sony holding out on them in the Instant Watch sector of their business. Sony likes to play hardball, but often forgets they aren't the only ones with leverage.

Bad management yes. Internet no. Companies that didn't and don't see giant technological advances like the Internet as opportunities, but instead as threats, are likely the ones that have already been or will be in the bankruptcy line.

Actually, from the seating chart I saw online a few weeks ago, the Bills have the closest seat to the official table. Surely they couldn't screw that up...

Say what???...something about shoving something into Palin's trunk?

Usually the number 1 thing most safety instructors teach you is to not put yourself in dangerous positions in the first place. As in, don't take the dark alley shortcut home after a night out on the town at 4am. Or don't go partying on the East Side of St. Louis late at night. Assuming you do that, and something like a hostage situation or shooting happens at a place you would normally feel is safe, your next step should be get out. You're not Bruce Willis defending the bank. Chances are, if a crazy group of Germans busts in to take over the bank as you're standing in line, and you're choices are run out the door, or jump behind the counter and draw your weapon...Run out the damn door. Assuming you get stuck in the bank, and you are armed, you then need to decide what you can do about the situation. If it's you versus 5 armed Germans, well, I'm not sure those are such great odds unless you are unbelievably quick, an exceptional shot, and extremely lucky. So perhaps your best choice would be to remain calm, and try to let the police get you out of the situation. Only using your weapon as last resort, because with those odds, it's likely to be your very last action. Perhaps you get stuck in the bank, and there's only 1 crazy German guy in there with a weapon. Well, this may be your opportunity to do something about that crazy kraut. But remember, you are legally responsible for every bullet that is fired out of your gun. So if you take out the cute bank teller and the old grandma in line as you're mowing down the German gunman, well...you just might be going to jail. Good intentions usually get you nowhere in the legal system. I'm not saying don't own a gun. I and my wife both own handguns, have taken classes, and are licensed for concealed carry. I also own a few other guns. But thinking that just owning a gun will afford you safety or peace of mind in this world is a bit of a stretch. The number 1 thing that's gonna keep you safe is your preparation and forethought. A gun is a tool. If you don't know how to use the tool, it's worthless. If you're in a situation where the tool doesn't apply, it's worthless. Be safe, be aware, and be prepared. If you think a gun fits into that, then I recommend you purchase and get trained on how to properly use and care for it. Hopefully you'll never have to use it for your own safety. But there are many other enjoyable uses for guns besides personal (or family) safety. I highly recommend many of these as well.

The following is meant to be humorous, as I have no idea what is happening, and couldn't really care less: I think it was taken mid practical joke. The old Sheik guy got him to look down and was about to flick him in the nose. Muslims love practical jokes. Or Obama and the dude to his right were having a fart contest. Body language seems to suggest Obama kicked his ass. Go USA!!!

I don't see how the Decepticons can't win in this movie. All the Autobots will be in bankruptcy.

More along the tobacco front as the FDA is in line to start regulating cigarettes: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30012946/ Also: What the hell is with Henry Waxman (the guy in the pic in that article)? Somehow his face seems very appropriate for a politician.

I appreciate her thought that she needed to check her taxes and get them scrubbed and taken care in preparation for this position. But why wasn't accuracy on her taxes important when she was a measly Governor?

Here's a lamer version of the same story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29987885/ Although, in it's defense:

Threads that start and fight with themselves, based on misunderstandings, poor grammer, and canned responses. Maybe he already did?

Oh great dead baby jokes: What's the difference between a dead baby and a bathtub? You can't screw a bathtub.

Old college joke: Why should you never have sex with an alumnus' wife in the morning? Have you ever tried to pull a grilled cheese sandwich apart

A little dirty: One day a man was walking along and came across an apple store. He thought that a juicy apple would be just what his hungry belly needed, so he goes in. The storekeeper greets him and says, "Welcome to my apple store. We have all sorts of apples here that taste like anything you want." The man says, "What do you mean? If I want an apple that tastes like a banana, you have that?" "Sure do," the storekeeper says, "Aisle 1, bottom shelf, go ahead and try it." The man walks over to Aisle 1 and grabs a yellow apple off the bottom shelf and bites into it, and sure enough, it tastes just like a banana. "That's amazing!" he said. The storekeeper says, "I'm telling you we have an apple that tastes like anything you can imagine." The man says, "Ok, how about an apple that tastes like a big juicy T-Bone steak." The storekeeper says, "No problem, aisle 8, top shelf." The man walks over to the aisle, picks up a dark colored apple off the top shelf and takes a bite. "Amazing, this is the best T-bone I've ever tasted." The storekeeper smiles and says, "I don't doubt it, all our apples are the highest quality. We have any flavor you can imagine." The man then gets a grin on his face and says, "Ok then, how about an apple that tastes like a pusssy?" The storekeeper smiles and says, "No problem, aisle 7, middle shelf." The man shakes his head and walks over to the aisle and grabs a red and brown apple off the middle shelf. Grinning he takes a big bite. Suddenly, he grimaces, and spits out the apple. "Uggh" he shouts, "This apple doesn't taste like pusssy, it tastes like shiit!!!" The storekeeper shakes his head laughing and replies, "You need to turn it over!" Pretty dirty: One day, a man decides he's gonna go fishing. He spends some time getting everything loaded up and ready to go. After a while, his wife walks out and asks him what he's doing. He looks at his wife and says, "I'm going fishing, and you're coming too." She says, "Oh no I'm not." He replies, "You always say that. You never want to do anything with me." She says, "I'll do something with you later, I just don't want to go fishing." The man says, "Ok, I'll give you some options. You can either go fishing with me, give me a BJ, or let me have anal sex with you." The woman, really not wanting to go fishing, decides that the BJ would be the best alternative of the three. She tells her husband, "Fine, I'll just give you a BJ." Happily the man undoes his pants for his wife. After a few seconds of going down on him, she stops and looks at him with a disgusted look, "What the hell? Your diick tastes like shiit!!!" The man laughs and says, "Yeah, the dog didn't want to go fishing either."

Of course you did go to Midvale School for the Gifted

I'm not saying he is, just keep an eye on the story. Michael Vick apparently didn't live at his dog fighting property and hadn't been there in years either. But as the story unfolded more truth came out. Again, not saying Vilma is scum or guilty, but this is a double murder so there will definitely be a thorough investigation which may or may not end up changing the initial 'facts'.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football..._raided_af.html Now, I realize the article said he wasn't there, and hasn't lived there, and thought the residence was empty. But... Similar statements have been used recently by other athletes, and it turns out they weren't telling the truth. Not saying he's guilty of anything, but this might be a story to keep an eye on.
