  1. what does that mean exactly? You aren't shooting sports photography for $200.... well, maybe for the camera bag. $200 buys you a basic point and shoot. That's it. There really isn't anything to recommend beyond "find a Canon P&S in that price range".
  2. http://redtape.msnbc.com/2009/05/college-d...on-instead.html "Hernan Castillo is treading water, trying to survive under the weight of $5,200 in credit card debt and $30,000 in student loans. He’s making payments on time, but the Orange County, Calif., resident sees little hope for getting out of the warehouse job he holds and landing a job as an accountant, the field in which he earned his degree. And forget about saving money for a home or retirement. He now firmly believes the money he spent earning a college degree was a waste."
  3. I'm sure the order you ate had a 12th spice...
  4. and if you buy through the ad on the twobillsdrive.com home page (on the right) - SH will kick some money back to us at no cost to you!
  5. You could buy the house next to my sister. She lives on a nice cul de sac in Lancaster...
  6. To be a contrarian... I think 5 years is HUGE. Everyone keeps referring to 2-3 years. Well, 2-3 ain't 5 unless you're VABills. I would monitor the situation very, very closely. Maybe even just tell your kids that you play together whenever they want as long as a parent is around.
  7. laughable or brilliant? Slavery was already the order of the day and those slaves weren't going to have a free vote regardless of what percentage they were counted. The real effect at the time was to diminish the voting power of slave owners who were going to cast the ballots for their slaves anyway. So, what would have been better - being counted as a full person and give a larger share of the political power to your captors or being counted as less and have the political powers of your owners greatly diminished (and thus, one could argue, hasten the end of slavery)?
  8. I will need at least 2.
  9. Do they even pay above minimum? When I worked there they didn't. The cost of gas might rule that out if they pay minimum wage. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to her list.
  10. Does anyone have any leads for college student help over the summer? Her major is History and she will teach 11th grade History when finished. she's looking for anything right now. Any leads would be appreciated. Lives in Lancaster.
  11. They foreshadowed Locke 2.0 several times. Ben was stunned that Locke was "alive" and said "you don't get to do that [rise from the dead]. Richard also was stunned at Locke's emergence and seemed incredulous that Locke was somehow alive.
  12. It is the total end to end experience. Their dealers did them no favors in winning customers. Long story short - I ordered a chevy malibu through the family employee plan. this discount was 14%. If I bought it off the lot the discount was 11%. When I went to pick it up - they tried to give me the 11%. I called the sales person on it and he said there was no difference between the off the lot and factory order deals. Really? I sat there thinking how unfortunate it is that it is illegal for me to jump across the desk and jam my foot down this POS's throat when he is *willfully* trying to steal money from a GM family member... That ended my experience with GM. Forever.
  13. So, I've read a few articles today about the 1,100 dealerships that will not be renewed with GM. It seems every single one has a quote from a dealer that sings a song such as, "All we do is buy their product and sell their product. It's not OUR fault. We are the victims here. This is so unfair." This goes unchallenged in the articles. To that I say, "Really?". You, the dealers, the angels in all of this, had no part in driving away the consumer away from GM vehicles? You all ran good, honest businesses and treated your customers with respect and provided them with a superior buying experience compared to your competitors? Really? All those surveys about how people hated the car buying experience were all liars and you are all victims here? It is unfortunate that a percentage of good people may lose their jobs, but as a whole - auto dealers aren't much more reputable than crack dealers.
  14. I thought of Vader when they kicked Jacob into the fire....
  15. the board can handle it just fine. We choose not to be "that board".
  16. We have missed the playoffs for 10 straight years... EVERY position on this team is a position of need.
  17. or you could just look at the teams and make your own conclusion.
  18. So, you can put just about anyone back there huh?
  19. AFC: 1 - Baltimore Ravens 6 - Tennessee Titans 6 - Pittsburgh Steelers 8 - Miami Dolphins 11 - Indianapolis Colts 11 - San Diego Chargers . . . 27 - Buffalo Bills So, no one here thinks that a guy for a nose for the ball can help this team? Has anyone ever seen the the turnover differential stats vs. wins/losses?
  20. Levy brought in Jauron. That pretty much negated anything positive that he may have done - and there wasn't a whole hell of a lot of that.
  21. Really? The team that drafted Pettigrew... who would they have chosen? And the team that had that player - who would they have chosen instead?
  22. I have no idea who this guy is, but turnovers IS a pretty big deal. Football games are often won or loss by your ability to make plays. If he can be the playmaker that Whitner isn't - then maybe that's not so bad?
