This is interesting, I had no idea. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/24/business...gin&oref=slogin Constitution be damned, we have to protect our borders! EDIT: If you need a login: http://www.bugmenot.com/

I agree about the Falls. When people hear I'm from there, they say it must've been so cool. I tell them they can duplicate the effect by putting some rocks in their bathtub and turning the water on full blast.

You went without cable for weeks?!?! (and for the record, CL is anything but arrogant; misguided, perhaps, but not arrogant ). CW

No, DirecTV has a lot of birds already flying -- 11 to be exact, with more launching later this year and early next year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirecTV#Satellite_fleet So if they happened to lose one of them, they could relatlively easily transfer programming to a different one without a major interuption to the customer. CW

Except that if any of those things happened, Dish/DirecTV can easily transfer programming from one sat to another. They have a lot of satellites up there that they can reprogram with whatever programming they need if that sort of catastrophe did occur. Keep in mind that the satellite failures could also affect cable - how do you think they get their programming? I'm sure they have backups as well though. CW

But Brady wasn't pile drived. He was just tackled - not helmet-to-helmet, no spearing, nothing. Just tackled while he was on the ground.

She unfortunately didn't have a camera, but the sign said: "Fresh ho-made pizzas" Umm.... Ok. This was on the highway in Wisconsin by some truck stop or something.

And it's situations like this that make me laugh at the cable ads that say, "Weather affects DirecTV/Dish, but not us! Switch to cable." While it's true that you VERY occasionally have a minute or two outage from very severe weather (mainly thunderstorms - when shows are interrupted by the stupid weather people anyway ), but it's never down for more than a few minutes. When cable goes out, it's out for a LONG time. It happened when the truck hit the pole earlier this season, and now with the snow.

He didn't do it, one of his friends did. He was just the idiot who got close to investigate.

One of my former coworkers was at a party where someone threw a sealed bottle of beer into a fire. They expected it to explode, but after a few minutes when nothing happened, my coworker approached the fire to see if anything was happening. When his face got close, BOOM, the bottle exploded and sent a shard of glass an inch from his eye. He had to get a bunch of stitches and nobody lets him live it down (in fact I just sent him the link to the article ). Gotta love intoxicated people.

There was no whistle; I watched the replay, and the ref didn't blow the play dead until after the hit. That's why I don't think the hit was cheap - when a QB slides feet first, the ref blows the whistle to end the play immediately. That didn't happen, so Brady is fair game in my book (as long as it's a tackle, and not a cheap show).

Speak for yourself. I rather enjoyed knowing that we were playing for something in December, instead of playing for nothing in October. I think you're crazy if you say you'd rather not be excited for week 17 of the NFL season (draft pick aside).

Was the interception worse than the fumble that the ~57 year old ref forced yesterday? At least Bledsoe can beat the Detroit's of the league. More than we can say with our current team. Go Sabres.

The play made no sense at all. JP can run - if you wanted a QB draw, just let JP run it.

A couple of weeks ago?

I guess I didn't realize how bad it got there. I just assumed everything (aside from maybe tree removal) was already fixed.

The area's without cable still?

I'm with you there -- I don't like bleu cheese with my wings either.

What do you mean?

I would disagree. In your example, your fingers touch the chip and then are put in the dip - spreading germs from your hands. In addition, germs can spread just by breathing, so it's probable that germs would come out of your mouth onto the chip if you doubledip. My 2 cents anyway.

If it's your own bleu cheese, who cares? I think the double dip rule only comes into effect when you're sharing a dip (like a central container of salsa or chip dip or whatever).

Just looked it up -- Rep Shelly Berkley, (D) from Nevada. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtqhhy4sx-U

I don't want to forget those years...

I'm not disagreeing with you. But if everyone says it was always Bledsoe's fault (which they do), then there's no way they can say it's not Losman's fault now. Different QB, same result. I wonder what the problem might be...

Sorry, I thought it was funny that you're relying on the announcers who usually don't know what's going on in the game. Besides, if *WE* know our OL sucks, JP should know too and he should "feel the pressure," right?
