Unless of course you take a two week vacation. On many weekends many of the favorites win. On some of them the underdogs rally. You pick by looking at scouting and injury reports, someone else picks based on the colors of the teams. If those people do better than you in a given week should we not be allowed to pick based on colors, because that person isn't putting the "thought" into it that you are? Will someone who manually just picks the favorites every week have an unfair "advantage?" If that's how someone wants to play the game, why not allow an automatic means to do it? It's not like the computer is able to look up the final scores of this coming weekend's game, it's not doing voodoo algebra, it's simply picking either the favorites, 'dogs, home or away teams based on your preferences...
I work out my "schemes" too. Sometimes they work, most of the time they crap out. Sometimes I think "well, I could have just picked the favorites and done better." Oh, well, I didn't. It's not someone else's fault that they did just have the computer pick the favorites, it's my fault for having a crappy "scheme". Oh, well...on to the next "scheme."
Before we get off on a tangent, I'm not bemoaning the way some people pick teams, just that the system gives them an automatic way to do it. Even though we had that option last year, there was still one time that I had left for the game, and realized 5 minutes from my house that I had forgotten to do my picks. Rather than let the system choose them, I turned around and went home to put them in.

The key word in the article is "restrained"....
"posing for photos with the 7-year-old tiger, which was being restrained by its handler"
If the tiger has to be restrained for the photo, I wouldn't even bother trying to take the photo.

I will be at the game, so no booth needed for me.

I just dislike it when I take the time to sit down and think about why I should pick one team over another, when someone else just lets the computer pick theirs, and they finish better than me. I know one person that as soon as picks can be entered on Tuesday, they do it. Another that will be entering/changing picks up to the last minute on Sunday. There are 5 and a half days to enter picks, so even though real life issues might come up, there's plenty of time to get the picks entered.

Yea, get rid of the option where if you haven't entered your picks before the cut-off, the system automatically picks them for you.

I cant find that car,but this is the link with a pic of the car he ran this past weekend at the Glen.

That's the picture I wanted to see. I was wondering if it was a whole hood decal, or just a smaller one that they sometimes use in addition to the primary sponser.

Every AFC team is DOOOOMMMMEEDDD with the way the Steelers are playing.

30. Don't take her for a walk along Onondaga Lake in the spring when the water is turning.

Check out this listing in the Trading Post forum....

Sounds right to me. Not sure of the exact port numbers, but your explaination is correct that some firewalls do not have the ports set as open as the default.

Is there a picture online of the car he's part owner of? I saw in articles that it had Hunter painted on the hood.

I went on a Monday, when I went. In fact, it was the day after the Miami-Buffalo Snow Bowl game. There were no lines, and if I remember right, I was the only one in the elevator for the trip up.
You don't have to walk on it, it's simply a small area, about 8'x8' if I remember correctly, that instead of a normal floor surface, it's glass so you can look down. If you don't want to go on it, it's easy enough to go around it.

Unless he sells the movie rights.
If it was me, I'd let TO sit at home this season. And next season. And the following seasons, until his contract is up.

If it's a nice clear day, I'd recommend the CN Tower also for the views.

Yes, my preference would be for Marv to sign it.

If I mail you my book, can you get it signed for me?
-
I can't make it either.
(total silence as I wait to see who will back out of coming because I can't go)

My buddy has been there for about eight months now I believe. It's a great gig if you like moving around. He went from Rochester to Nashville to New Jersey in the last three years. He wants out though, wants to come back home to Rochester. They pay him hansomly, give him a free car each year (sponsor's make - so it's any Buick he wants this year). He gets a few months off and goes on to the next gig.
I'm interested. What kind of background (education) does he have to get a position like that?

I think the only way to really determine who has the best cheerleading squad can be settled by a contest. Maybe some oil-based knife fights?

So do US Mail delivery. When I've done it with my tickets, I usually got them within two weeks.
The Mall of America has some places with glass block floors, and she hates walking over those too. 
Bills current warning against non-official tickets

The bar code system with Ticketmaster has been around for a couple of years at least, so it's really nothing new. First time I saw it in use was in December of 2002 at a Peter Gabriel concert in Toronto. Just new for the Bills with the ticket office using Ticketmaster.
