  1. Ants love electricity and are often found in electrical boxes. I wonder if they are in the dash behind the radio or something where they are getting a charge
  2. It looks like Jersey is going to get brunt of storm. NYC east of eye wall. Storm front approaching from West. They are saying possibly worst storm in 100 years. This has makings of the Perfect Storm- and it is supposed to hit on Oct 30, the 23rd anniversary of the Perfect Storm. This system is awesome! http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/eaus/flash-wv.html
  3. This is a decent dehydrator http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090WOCN0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&keywords=food%20dehydrator&qid=1351257371&sr=8-2 I plan on building a kick ass smoker this winter and doing some BBQ competitions
  4. Well said. This is my problem with sports today. I love to play and watch any sport- but no longer watch TV. The greed has ruined it for me. I used to go to 10-30 games a year- now I listen to the Yanks on the radio
  5. I have seen hundreds of games at Yankee Stadium and the new stadium sucks! My favorite seat would be the $6 dollar general admission bleacher seat that went on sale at 4 the day of the game- and if you were lucky you could catch a double header for that $6. That place was electric! The energy was incredible! The new place kind of looks like the old stadium, it is more sanitized and corporate friendly, but it has no soul. They ruined Yankee Stadium. It is all about money. 2 shots Jagermeister, 2 Heinekens at Hard Rock inside the new park- $48! Greedy mother!@#$ers have ruined one of the all time great stadiums. I want my $6 seat back in a real stadium That article is spot on
  6. Yoga is my favorite type of exercise, nature is my religion, and I particulariy enjoy practicing yoga outdoors. Couple that with mantras, meditation, breathing exercises, in a natural setting on a glorious day- Yoga can be considered a religion. It transcends exercise
  7. I used to love Haffenreffer back in the mid 80's. I was 16 at the time though, my tastes have become more refined
  8. End the fed, no bailouts, do not increase spending, cut defense, first ammendment, legalize weed and gay marriage, uphold the constitution, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
  9. so what do you think of Gary Johnson's views?
  10. Screw the two party system. Neither party represents me
  11. I love your post's Bill and especially love your gratuitous Dead references.
  12. exactly. TBD posters are quick to throw players under the bus, but seldom give credit
  13. So it is ok for Walmart to sell below costs, but not ok for China to sell us solar energy panels below cost. Hypocrisy has it's own elegant symmetry
  14. So are you saying Walmart negotiates a price, and the producers sometimes sell below their price point ("dumping on the market below cost")? Thank you for making my point
  15. many. For example my friend bought a fishing pole there and some tackle at Walmart and told me what deal he got. I ran the deal by a friend of mine who owns a tackle shop. He checked the numbers for that model, and it was below cost. He said he couldn't even get it at that price
  16. Isn't that what Walmart does?
  17. I dream of bulding one of these. This guy is one of my hero's http://www.documentarywire.com/?s=garbage+warrior
  18. Did I buy anything from China? I called out the US for all their talk about "free trade". And yes, I do realize how complicated the China situation is. Neither the US, nor China, nor the rest of the world, wants a trade war between US/China And one of the axioms of free trade is competition is good for the consumer
  19. be part of the solution, or you are part of the problem. Besides my iphone(which I am ditching when my contract is up, and my receiver)- I don't buy **** from China and I don't shop at Walmart. I am hoping to. I am reading all I can about the technology and saving my pennies. It will be in the next couple years edit- probably my computer too. But I don't buy frivolous stuff, and I do always try and buy local
  20. I reiterate "And I am against all tariffs, bailouts, and any form of protectionism. No matter if it's Walmart, or my local store"
  21. http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13550 And I am against all tariffs, bailouts, and any form of protectionism. No matter if it's Walmart, or my local store Very nice to hear from a civil poster who can lucidly explain their position. Thanks. Yes, I agree free trade is impossible with China. They manipulate their currency, so on that fact alone there is no free trade with China. But they are our biggest supplier, and the largest holder of US debt. Candidates and politicians talk big talk about going after China. But China holds all the cards. And not to mention, I am looking to convert my place to all solar : )
  22. Once again thank you for the kind words. I obviously have an IQ under 30. And I think I have made my feelings about Walmart abundantly clear. What didn't you understand about "!@#$ walmart"? Maybe I was too ambiguous
  23. I think 36 hour shifts, .10 labor an hour, and beatings if you don't produce X amount to drive domestic competition is free trade. We don't seem to have a problem with that though And your statement reeks of the Walmart business practice
  24. thank you for the kind words. What I want is the US to practice the free trade that they profess continually. Actions, not words please. And do you think Walmart products (undoubtedly from China) are not subsidized by the Chinese government? Let me repeat, if we profess free markets, let practice what we preach. !@#$ tariffs. !@#$ Walmart I gave my definition. What is yours?
