  1. I heard it early this morning, and I was surprised, pleasantly surprised. For a change, he didn't apologize to the world for some of our perceived shortcomings but rather defended our moralism through use of force. I also liked that he implied that they wouldn't be able to sit there, living comfortably if it weren't for countries that had the courage to fight for freedom.

     

    I'd say up to now, this was his best foreign policy speech. I might add, that this speech could have been mistaken from a GW Bush speech writer as well.

    Is my libertarian middle school band teacher's prophecy coming true? Obama = Dubya? :ph34r:

  2. I have weather.com on my bookmarks toolbar, but I can never figure out how much snow we are supposed to get - and in the summer, I think they pull their precip %s out of a hat..........All I want to know right now is not is it going to snow but how much snow are we going to get. Does anybody recommend a better one?

    I always use weather.gov at home. At my job, we used weatherunderground.com because it has storm tracks (I worked at a country club). Weather.gov is usually pretty accurate, and I'm not disappointed.

  3. While reading the fat thread, I decided it would be a good idea to spoon several hunks of cookie dough down my gullet. It just reaffirmed how much more I like raw chocolate chip cookie dough to actual baked cookies. Am I in the minority here?

     

    Plus it got me thinking, are there any other 'meant-to-be cooked' foods that are actually better raw? I don't mean things that are cooked optionally like vegetables.

    Cooked, only because I've heard too many horror stories about salmonella from my father.

  4. Yes, it is. Look at this board today. Every one is excited we beat Miami. Attitude on the team and fans has improved since Jauron was fired. Players seems to have confidence in the staff and each other. Many are optimistic. Yep, nothing good can come from winning games.

    :rolleyes:

    In all seriousness, and I think it has been said numerous times already, a team that is only 2 or 3 wins away from the playoffs may look better to a high-profile coach.

  5. I was in section 333, and it seemed to me like the intensity in there was turned all the way up. I know the two fish fans in my row motivated me to get up and yell even more than I usually do when the Bills are on D.

     

    i do agree that the Buffalo-Miami rivalry is pretty much dead, though. Too many mediocre or bad teams over the last 10 years and the cities are just too far apart. Not to mention the Patriots* are becoming more loathed by the week by both fan bases.

  6. My wife is thinking about becoming a Big Sister. The application requires a background check as well as 5 references -- which is more than most of the jobs I've ever had have done...

     

    I was wondering if anyone has ever volunteered for this organization? Any stories, good or bad?

    My college here has a Big Brothers Big Sisters office and my friend is currently a big brother. He says that it's one of the greatest things he has ever done with his time. His "little brother" is a great kid who was in a bad situation for a while. All the checking and references are justified, I think, due to how closely these "bigs" work with children.
