Steely Dan

If TE is still injured then I say go with Hamdan. Unless TE is 100% healthy there is no reason to start him. I agree that Hamdan has to prove himself to see if Buffalo needs to get a QB in the offseason. I don't believe that TE is a washout. This is his first full year.

He can't handle the pressure. Too many mistakes in crunch time.

Just saw it a little while ago. :stifling laugh:

I disagree with your assertion that churches are places of peace and hope. A lot of them preach hate. As Deano pointed out it could be a disgruntled Parishoner. It could also be someone trying to kill a specific person in the church at the time of the arson and they are trying to cover it up by making it look like a hate crime. Hate crimes occur at other places too.

Step 1: Appropriate Gear You can't pull off a successful heist without appropriate gear and apparel. The first thing every good crook needs is a ski mask. The ski mask (see fig. 1-1) gives you a badass look as wells as conceals your appearance. Another nice addition to the badass/concealing factor is sunglasses. Now that your chances of being caught have reduce by .001% its time to move on to one of the most important aspects of your paraphernalia. The weapon! There are many weapons to choose from including bats, knifes, and guns. Although the gun is usually the best choice, go with the one that best fits your unique style as a criminal, or the "law-abiding challenged" as I like to say. Criminal is such a negative word. Although it will never go off in your pants, the finger in the pocket has been way over played and is no longer the threat it once was. Next on the list is something to keep the money in. Your first instinct would be to just stuff the money in your pockets, but this is generally a bad idea. Think big! What every successful robber needs is a big sack, preferably with a dollar sign on it (see fig. 1-2) You know, like Scrooge McDuck off Duck Tales, he has lots of these and look how rich he is. (You can forget about it, McDuck's security is impenetrable) Step 2: The Plan Committing armed robbery is no simple task. It is a matter that takes much careful planning. There are a few steps to remember when designing a plan. First, make a map of the store/bank you intend to rob. Second design a route for the fastest getaway to your hideout. And third make a plan for your hideout. Your hideout should be filled with supplies such as water, food, and ammunition. Here is an example: Read the rest here.

Linkage DECEMBER 12--After a trio of Ohio women was busted earlier this week following a botched robbery attempt, cops searched the group's getaway car and discovered printed instructions downloaded from the Internet that detailed "How To Commit Armed Robbery In Six Easy Steps." The seized instructions, a copy of which you'll find below, were printed Monday morning at 10:16, about 11 hours before the women sought to hold up the Dollar Tree store in Bedford Heights. When a manager claimed that she could not open the store safe, the alleged robbers--Jocelyn Addison, 19; Nia McBrayer, 21; and Jenniffer Watson, 18--departed empty-handed. Though the downloaded list was clearly written tongue-in-cheek, the suspects, who had masks, a plan, and a bb gun, apparently followed some of its suggestions. According to a December 8 Bedford Police Department report, Addison, McBrayer, and Watson were apprehended in a vehicle about a mile from the convenience store. Each woman was charged with robbery.

I don't think Trent is experienced enough to override his coordinator and QB coach. He should shutup and listen to them for now. If those ideas fail it shouldn't be on him but when he doesn't execute the plays they send in then it is on him. Did anyone else notice his slump coincided with all the attention he started to get in the media? I think it's possible his head grew bigger than his helmet.

I don't understand why burning churches is worse than burning any other building other than it's racist in most situations. Here an arsonist started a fire with people in the building. Is it any worse than if he'd started a fire at a store that was primarily associated with blacks or Jews? Thank you for saving me a lot of typing. Short, sweet and right on! Thank you for saving me the time. Name one political figure that doesn't have hatred towards them. How much longer should it be. Palin's church burned down with people in it and police suspect arson, nobody hurt, she apologized if it's against her. What more needs to be said? God, I hope they run her as the Presidential candidate in 2012 it would be like the beatdown Reagan gave Mondale.

What cronies has he hired so far? I'm not saying that some probably won't be hired but who are you basing that idea on specifically now? Waah, waaahhh! The Republicans will be back and then they'll show you. They'll get you buddy just wait they'll get you!! :sniffle:

So Australians are cheap and you're proud of that?

Another good before and after picture. And another

No need to go any further.

I think a Sparano or Mike Smith could've taken this team to the playoffs.

Get her sober and some makeup and she might be doable. In that picture, not gonna happen. You'd do that to make her pass out.

That's definitely not true. The could just blackout the picture entirely. Don't feel bad Deano. The technologies today aren't capable of everything. I have a friend who owns a recording studio and we were talking about the new technology being able to make people sound a lot better than they really do. I said that it could probably even make me sound good. He chuckled and said it would take A LOT of work. That's amazing. Some of that is just coloring and the chicks are just as hot as they really are and others are greatly enhanced. The second picture from the left is mostly just coloring. The model looks the same in both pictures. The third from the left is a really good job of photoshopping her head into a different position. I couldn't tell in the after picture until I looked closely for it. The fifth from the left gets a little extra boobage more than the original picture.

They are counting their chickens way before they hatch. This is still anybody's race. Coleman has the lead right now and maybe Franken will close the gap and overtake Coleman but I'm not sure, at all, that anything has been decided there. I don't care who's ahead and who's behind. All the ballots should be counted in any state in any situation like this. Here's another article. But the matter has still not been resolved. Ever since the recount was completed, the two campaigns have been fighting over crucial handful of ballots that are being challenged for one reason or another. On Friday, Franken won a round in court when a state elections board ruled that more than 600 rejected absentee ballots could be sorted and counted, and that 133 missing ballots from Minneapolis could be counted by examining the tapes from a ballot counting machine. Coleman promptly said he would challenge the ruling in court. If it had been Minnesota instead of Florida in 2000, this is what we would have found out: Voters are idiots. You make a clear, statewide ballot with neat little ovals to fill in? Some voters will put in check marks and X's. They'll fill out two ovals. They'll mark one candidate's oval in ink, try to erase that mark and then put their initials next to their correction, even though there's a law on the books forbidding voters to sign their ballots, to prevent voter bribing. They'll scrawl something about taxes in that oval, or about lizard people. You spend enough time trying to figure out the intentions of some voters, and you'll learn their real intention is to be put into special care. The Republicans here will love this part. The Franken side is pushing for more ballots to be included in the recount, partly because it has nothing to lose (it's behind) and partly because, historically, Democrats screw up their ballots more often than Republicans. They're the shaky-handed elderly, the movement-limited disabled, the instruction-confused immigrants, the first-time-voting minorities. But despite this tension, the two law teams have been pleasant toward each other. Franken lead attorney Marc Elias, who was head counsel for the John Kerry campaign, says, "It's been cordial. I've met Coleman's lawyer, Mr. Knaak, three times. He seems like a nice fellow." In fact, each side independently has taken back hundreds of ballot challenges it made during the review process that were frivolous. Another article. “Today's decisions represent positive and productive steps towards ensuring that this election is decided fairly and accurately, as well as a complete rejection of the Coleman campaign's effort to throw out lawful votes from Minnesotans.” I don't know why anyone, except the leader in the race, would be against counting all eligible ballots. If the situation was reversed the things being said on one side would be said on the other side. I just say let all of the ballots be counted and see what happens. I believe that the predicted win is anything but decided. They say these are Franken victories but it may not matter in the end.

Just violently kill someone in your house and your all set!

I'd lift them for free.

Look at their history from the late 1880's to the early 1900's and you'll see why labor unions were formed and what they accomplished. If the fat cat business owners gave a about their employees then unions never would have been necessary but the fat cats were big time A-holes and it's only legislation that keeps them from being A-holes now.
