It's just a computer model - - "garbage in garbage out."

Try punkin chunkin - - you could take out squirrels from about a mile away with one of the air cannons: http://www.punkinchunkin.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/67840039@N08/6329293844 I saw one of the annual "world championship" punkin chunkin competitions on the Discovery Channel a while back - - looked like a hoot. I'd like to see one in person some day.

Oops, make that "found in Gondwana:" http://www.weather.com/news/science/nature/bizarre-500-million-year-old-creature-unearthed-20130626 Bizarre echinoderm my a$$ - - sounds like all they found was an ancient pants-snake. Everybody knows even Gowanda has plenty of those.

Couple thoughts: 1. Think about what kind of questions you can ask that will show that you are already thinking like someone in the regional manager position. Can't tell you exactly what to ask - - but you want to give the impression that you've already thought about how to switch from (1) managing worker bees, to (2) managing other managers. It could be as simple as asking the interviewer how he/she made that same transition. 2. Afterwards, send a simple, direct, non-brown nosing email to the person(s) who interviewed you thanking them for answering your questions and re-affirming that you want the new position. In this thank you email, less is more. Anyway, that's my 2 drachma - - Good Luck!

A similar story in Las Vegas from early 2010: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/jan/02/they-forclosed-wrong-house/ I hope Ohio law is at least as favorable to the homeowner.

If her account of the bank president's remarks is accurate, he is incredibly stupid. It would be interesting to know how the dispute eventually gets resolved - - but if the bank has competent legal counsel any settlement will almost certainly have a strict confidentiality clause.

I'm unclear - - are you saying that (1) the people who actually received the overpaid money will eventually pay it back to the federal government in the form of estate taxes when they eventually die, or (2) the farmers who already died paid more in federal estate taxes upon their deaths than what they were improperly paid later after their death, or (3) the government will track down the people who actually received the improper cash and make them pay it all back before they die?

If you want to take the time to understand if the penalty is correct, read about the "safe harbor" provisions based on your prior year's adjusted gross income. It's my undestanding that it basically works like this: No matter how much you made in 2011, and even if you made millions more in 2012 than in 2011, if your combination of 2012 withholding and any estimated tax payments made in 2012 equals at least 110% of the total income taxes you paid for 2011, then you owe absolutely NO penalty or interest at all [assuming that you (1) timely paid all of the remaining tax owed by April 15, 2013, and (2) your withholding and any estimated tax payments were evenly spread out each quarter]. More details here: http://www.irs.gov/p...040es--2012.pdf If you have another banner consulting income year in 2013, your "safe harbor" will have a much larger base (because it will be based on the very good financial year you had in 2012). So failure to pay estimated taxes in 2013 would have greater consequences.

Well, historically, St. John Fisher is a catholic-affiliated school, so maybe we could put a couple of these guys: in those little Shriner go cart thingies they use in parades and then have the same train the sharpshooter is riding on run them both over at a crossing. Sort of a killing two birds and one buffalo with the same train kind of thing . . :

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20130727/SPORTS03/307270043/Buffalo-Bills-two-bills-drive-seek-end-postseason-drought?nclick_check=1 Anybody know if St. John Fisher has a mascot? Just to be on the safe side, maybe we should off him/her/it, too.

Any updates on this?

I think we should have him run along side a train and pay a sharpshooter to shoot him from the train, and then leave his corpse rotting in the sun. If other teams think we're crazy, it might give us an edge.

Screw the traffic concerns - - how will it affect the bathtub races held at Kitsilano Beach? Actually stumbled by chance onto the end of one some years ago that ended in a neck-and-neck foot race up the beach. It was a hoot. Tiny little one-man skiffs with huge motors that were just flying as they bounced across the water.

I'm gonna have to check with my little brother Darryl on this one.

Speaking of douchiness, which group of 50%? You get that there's 2 of them, right?

From the NY Times article linked in my OP: Was George Orwell a time traveler who knew Linda Vertlieb?

If it's not a shock in Hooksett, it's not a shock to me.

Well, if we get a new stadium, that's one thing we don't need to worry about!

I happened to see this site mentioned on TV, but know nothing about it - - FWIW (use at your own risk): http://www.psacard.com/

Lots of nice, conventional ideas for using their speed. None of which will surprise any of our division rivals. Let's put our speed guys in position to succeed by thinking outside the box and using them unconventionally. 2 ideas: 1. Make them both hold for field goals. Most fake field goals fail because the runner doesn't have the speed to get to the first down marker before the defense reacts. These guys can change that. If we run a fake with one and he doesn't make it, give the other one a chance the next time - - nobody will expect THAT. 2. Steal a cornerback jersey from the other team and sneak them on the field out wide at the last minute. The other team's dbs won't cover a guy they think is one of their own - - TD!!!!
