That is absolutely rediculous. I think this is a BS move by the RIAA. I've bitched about this before. The RIAA doesn't give a rat's a$$ that I've bought 4 copies of London Calling. Vinyl, cassette and CD (twice). I think they've made their money on that one. And lord knows how many times this happens, not just to me, but to all music consumers. This is BS . . .

The list begins and ends with Neil Peart. I'm not saying the others are not good, but Neil reinvented himself twice and is still the best.

Great news! Congrats . . .

Cant-stand-ya . . .

Defineitely a filter problem. You shouldn't build up 15 additional PSI in a few hours. Yo're going to want ot have someone overhaul the filter insides . . . I think you said that the filter elements were recently cleaned, but there's something causing the pressure inside the filter to build rapidly and restrict the flow back to the pool. Gotta be an inside the fileter problem.

They're also not citizens. Why are we trying to confer rights to people who are not citizens?

Never burn your bridges . . . Keep it positive.

What are the starting and ending readings on the pressure gauge?

Ah, Crystal Beach . . . - Cheektowaga Day with busloads of my friends . . . - The smell of fresh blacktop sealer . . . - The way the cars on the Wild Mouse tilted on the hairpin turns at the top and then slammed back down . . . - Looking out over the lake on the tow up the first hill of the Comet. - The Laff in the Dark . . . - The Scrambler in the Dark with lasers and LOUD music . . . - Best Bumper Cars ever, period. - Funnel Cakes, yum . . . and a Cinammon sucker on the car-ride home.

Forget grammar and spelling rules in your posts? Maybe that's what he wants . . .

Thunderball was always my favorite. Although I did really enjoy Casino Royale . . .

When i worked for a pool company in hs/college, blowing out the lines meant sending compressed air through the lines to blow out any garbage in them. A pressure test involved plugging all of the lined in the pool and then blowing in compressed air measured by a pressure guage. Plugged lines would hold the air pressure like a baloon. If there was a leak, you would see the air pressure steadily drop . . . With your description of the flow starting off strong and then dropping over the next few days, it certainly sound like a "leak." However, you won't see a lot of water loss because the leak is in one of the incoming lines, either the skimmer or the main drain (assuming you have one). Do you leave your pump and filter outdoors for the winter? Another common problem around here is that the pump basket housing cracks due to ice expaning. It's a small hairline crack, so it's not visible, but it will suck in air. I feel for you, cuz isolating the problem can be a real biotch . . .

I think it means you can expect to pay through the proverbial nose for schitty seats on Stub hub and eBay . . .

Sand or earth filter. If it's a sand filter, it might be time to change the sand. If it's an earth filter, might be time to have the filter elements cleaned. Also, you need to isolate the drop in water pressue in your system. It sounds like an in-ground pool. You'll need to pressure test your lines to see if there are any leaks. Just about any pool service can do that for you . . . From your description, it sounds like your "sucking air" on one of your intake lines. Starts out great, but slowly loses pressure over time. If it is an in-ground, that can be tricky to repair . . . Good luck. Hope all of the advice here helps.

That didn't seem to matter too much back in the day (outside of the SuperBowl , anyway). Everyone knew what was coming, but there weren't too many teams that successfully stopped the K-Gun.

Soory, rejected. Tiger Woods is the top athlete on the planet right now. And will likely still be in the top 20 when he's 50 . . .

Certainly the Jets and Dolphins games where JP was VERY bad. . . . Toss in the Cards game for the psychological factor. I'm not defending Trent. My point was that it's beyond ridiculous (oops, forgot where I was) I mean re-diculous, to speculate that Brady would have been the league AND Super Bowl MVP and that the Pat*s would have won the SB if had not been injured. BTW, Trent won the Broncos game, and aside from the 1st Qtr, looked pretty darned good.

I can appreciate a good team and give credit where credit is due. That said, I have been force-fed non-stop Pat*s hype for quite some time now. Has it really gotten that deep into snore season that the best thing to occupy Kerry Burns' mind is what Brady and the Patriots might have done in '08? Hell, if Dick were a better coach and Trent doesn't get injured, the Bills could have won 10 games, not 7. Add to that a non-injured Schobel, and the Bills are now at 12-4 and in the AFC Championship game, where the blimp craches into the stadium, wiping out the opposing team and sending the Bills to the SB for the first time in 2 decades . . . . See how stupid it sounds?? It's the relentless hype machine that gets to me after awhile. As for hate-er-aide , I still hate the Dolphins more than the Pat*s . . .

File under "gimme a fcucking break." SI.com awards the Pat*s the SuperBowl Title and League MVP to Brady if he doesn't injure his knee. Read on an empty stomach Look, I understand that the Pat*s are good (when was that last championship?), Belicheat is a god, and Brady is the wunderkind of the NFL, but this is beyond re-diculous . . . Have your barf bag nearby . . .

Update IX: Joey Smith reported tonight that a Democratic donor group in the Midwest and South will not have to close any of their Chrysler dealerships... and their competition was gutted. The company is called RLJ-McLarty-Landers, and it operates six Chrysler dealerships throughout the South. All six dealerships are safe from closing. The dealer locations are: Bentonville, AR (northwest Arkansas); Lee's Summit, MO (south of Kansas City, MO); Branson, MO; Olathe, KS (near Kansas City); Bossier City, LA (near Shreveport); Huntsville, AL... The interesting part is who the three main owners of the company are. The owners are Steve Landers (long-time car dealer, 4th-generation dealer), Thomas "Mack" McLarty (former Chief of Staff for President Clinton), and Robert Johnson (founder of Black Entertainment Television and co-owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats). Landers has given money to Republicans in the past, but McLarty campaigned for Obama in 2008, and Johnson has given countless amounts of money to Democrats over the years... ...So far, RLJ-McCarty-Landers will have 8 competing dealerships total[ly] eliminated from 3 of their markets: Lee's Summit, MO; Branson, MO; and Bossier City, LA. I'm willing to bet that the other 3 markets that they serve are similar in nature.

Yeah, the Wall Street Journal just publishes things on it's website on whims. It's not a reputable website like the Huffington Post . . .

Here's and interesting little read from the Wall Street Journal's Best of the Web Blog: WSJ Best of the Web today Essentially, the Chrysler dealers that have been forced out of business due to the government sponsored restructuring, are almost exclusively Republican donors. A tipster alerted me to an interesting assertion. A cursory review by that person showed that many of the Chrysler dealers on the closing list were heavy Republican donors. To quickly review the situation, I took all dealer owners whose names appeared more than once in the list. And, of those who contributed to political campaigns, every single one had donated almost exclusively to GOP candidates. While this isn't an exhaustive review, it does have some ominous implications if it can be verified. However, I also found additional research online at Scribd (author unknown), which also appears to point to a highly partisan decision-making process. . . . I have thus far found only a single Obama donor (and a minor one at that: $200 from Jeffrey Hunter of Waco, Texas) on the closing list. Wow. So much for draining the bile from Washington political workings.
