Man these things have been a nuisance over the years. The cider vinegar, dash dishsoap, in a jar with plastic wrap with holes works ok. But my question is proactive. Is there anything I can do- ie spray fruit with vinegar, store fruit in fridge, etc- that can prevent fruit flies to begin with? I am nervous to bring fruit in, after finally ridding myself of the the fruit flies for the 10th time

As long as people pay money to watch unimaginative drivel at the theater, they will continue to release **** movie after **** movie. The **** that they put out- its on you ithe moviegoer

based on Conrad's Heart of Darkness- which takes place in Congo

He is looking for Kurtz

NPR's show Planet Money did a fascinating three part show on the life of a tshirt The first two episodes told of how it was materials were gathered, it was sewed, distributed, etc in Bangledesh, amongst other places. It was truly global in scope. The third episode told the story of a man in his mid-20s who donated his old HS lacrosse jersey #5 to Goodwill. Fast forward a few years, he goes on a humanitarian mission to Africa, and sees someone wearing his old Jersey! The episode then explains how Tshirts donated take on a whole new life after they leave goodwill, etc. Goodwill ships off unsold clothes to say Congo. A man goes and picks out what shirts he thinks would sell, and pays about $1 a shirt. Problem is Americans are XXL, and Africans are M. So someonecuts the sides off the shirt, and makes .10 cents a shirt. Then a seamstress sews the shirt back together for .12 cents, often with scrap fabric from another shirt. It takes on a whole new supply chain. The shirt is then sold for say $2. And the tshirts are a hipsters dream. Motorhead, Jen's Bar Mitzvah, Tony's Pizza, and yes, even Trent Edwards are some of the tshirts you might see...

Arod must be one of the most disliked players already. This is going to get ugly. Arod won't go away quietly. He just might make a mockery out of spring training if he show up

Put me down for $200

IMO Johnny U and Peyton are the two greatest. I put Archie in the top 5 too. Pretty remarkable what he did with no oline, no RBs, no WR. He was tough, mobile, smart, and had a cannon arm

I dig the blues, especially old delta blues. Tommy Johnson would make drink sterno aka canned heat. Hence the inspiration for the band Canned Heat. They said it was a medical miracle that Tommy Johnson lived as long as he did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ7o34UZyXQ

I suggest you go eat along the Curry Mile on Rusholme Street before spewing such ignorance.

What would you like to make? Indians love double marinades. In the past I have spiced up yogurt, marinated overnight, then putting a second rub on and baking it. You can sustitute terractotta pot for the tandori pot. I don't have time now, but I have a good naan recipe that is easy. Make that, and many dipping sauces. Make it spicy, and have cold indian beer to accompany

I will check it out, thanks. I find urban decay fascinating and strangly beautiful. The MC5 producer was giving a tour of Detroit by car, and explained "Athens has ruins, Rome has ruins, Detroit's are bigger"

Cool video. In Berlin, artistic squatters repurposed an old bombed out factory and put in 3 bars(one with a fire breathing dragon), 2 coffee shops, one movie theater, a half dozen gigantic art gallerys, apartments, they projected 4 storie images onto the side of the building, and it is one of the coolest places I have been. Never underestimate artists. Detroit has plenty of free studios everywhere. And Detroit has many creative souls. If you are in a band living in Detroit- jam out in huge vacant buildings, play as loud as you want, and get some cool acoustics. From the city that gifted the world Motown, Techno, Punk,, MC5, White Stripes, Stooges, Madonna, John Lee Hooker, Eminem, Stevie Wonder.....Detroit will continue to be a hotbed for creativity and genius I root for Detroit too!

impressive. I have no idea how she chewed that steak so fast. I think I could do compeitive eating. I hit a wall though at 5-6 pounds steak. Barbeque judges are said to put down 7#s at competitions. I love when petite females best their obese male counterparts at compeitive eating!

Thanks, I am glad you all enjoyed my story! Yeah, even then I thought the ride was a risk, but I am so thankful that they did! For one, I felt so free waking home that night during the storm. No curfew, no mother saying "its a blizzard, get inside!". I felt so free as a kid and am thankful I grew up when I did. I wonder what it feels like to be a kid today. But I am certain they didn't feel as free as I did as a child. Part of the reason you would never see a parent drive home a strangers kid today is the litigious society we live in today. As a kid- we didn't have video games. I sprung out of bed at sunrise, played outside(army,hockey, football, baseball) until it was lunch time, then went back out and played until dinner, then went back out, and played until sundown. And to paraphrase an email I received- we drank straight from the garden hose, didn't wear bike helmets, if we had a beef with someone- we fought them- and became friends after. No police were called. We were hardly ever bored and did not need constant stimulation. We didn't always wear seatbelts. My mother drove a pinto. Heck, my Dad even rewarded me with a sip of beer after I cut the lawn. I love my childhood in West Seneca!

I was in second grade I think and went to school that day(Gardenville in West Seneca). The snow came on so fast- we got snowed in at school. I remember having dinner there(ravioli), then sleeping on my mat. I was awoken in the middle of the night and someone loaded up their station wagon with kids and drove us home in the middle of the blizzard in the middle of the night. I got dropped off at the end of my street and had to walk a couple blocks. It was dumping snow and I remember getting blown side to side. I tried to soak it all in and will always remember that walk, but eventually I was so tired- I went home and went to bed. I remember helicopters flying over frequently dropping off supplies in the aftermath

Anna in action

agreed. I suppose he is also a fan of corporate bailouts, the IRS, and beelzebub

did I mistakenly log onto a Pat board? What kind of sick !@#$ would post a thread commemorating the music city debacle?

what is fixed?

Because we are on the cusp of becoming an elite defensive unit that will own the AFC East the next decade

having a second favorite team is polygamy and blaspheme

If Bonds deserves to be in hall of fame, then Rosie Ruiz deserves to be the winner of the NYC Marathon
