History has a wastebin?

More importantly, how thick is his superior temporal sulcus? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/155421-mckelvin-may-have-a-thin-superior-temporal-sulcus/page__hl__sulcus

In something akin to the original spirit of this thread (now I've offended family) :

According to an NBC News website, there were some homes in the area when the fertilizer distribution center/plant was built, but a subdivision, the nursing home and schools were built LATER. It's easier to blame corporations than the people who "came to the nuisance." Would you force the fertilizer company to move because others chose to build a subdivision, a nursing home and schools near their existing site? http://openchannel.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/19/17818046-texas-fertilizer-plant-also-stored-explosive-chemical-used-in-oklahoma-city-bomb?lite

Saw one I liked yesterday on a pickup truck: "Driver Carries No Cash He's MARRIED." Better yet, the word "married" had a thin blue diagonal line through it using what looked like painter's trim tape.

How do you say "uh-oh" in Chinese? http://news.yahoo.com/china-says-investigating-human-human-spread-bird-flu-044438853.html

I should have called it "predatory pricing" (when you sell a product below cost to drive a smaller competitor out of business) rather than "price-fixing" (which is something different). http://www.cleveland...titors_que.html Not sure if the net effect of a "ridiculously" large rebate would be selling below cost, but it seems possible. In any event, it sounds like one of Flying J's competitors is speculating that the investigation may involve anti-competitive business practices by Flying J. Maybe that's just wishful thinking by the competitor - - we'll see.

http://www.latimes.c...,0,753185.story Am I the only one who wants to know what the guy's hat actually said?

Just a wild-a$$ guess, but since you're inviting them . . . (a) Some sort of price-fixing or antitrust investigation? Do they have enough locations and market power to (1) price diesel fuel for big rigs below cost to force smaller competitors out of business, and then (2) charge monopoly prices after they "own" the market? Not saying they've done that, but any business that controls a large percentage of a given market (for any product) has the potential to illegally monopolize their market. Not sure why that would involve IRS agents, though, unless they were keeping 2 sets of books to somehow try to hide their true pricing practices. (b) for gasoline, part of the cost we all pay at the pump is state and federal taxes - - my guess (it's just a guess) is that it's the same for diesel fuel. So maybe they falsely reported the amount of federal fuel tax that they are required to pay the government, and kept some for themselves? Both are just wild guesses.

You may already know this, but I believe (not 100% certain) that if you ever roll over funds from one tax-deferred account to another, the exact amount of the rollover must be reported to the IRS by your financial institution, and you are required to report the amount of the rollover on your own tax return. Not the same thing as continuous tracking of your accounts, but something to be aware of if government intrusion in your financial affairs concerns you.

Quite true. Out of all the jabs at my screen name that have been posted, my oldest brother Darryl liked this one the best.

Sorry to hear about Oscar, but what happened to the cat?

I thought this thread was going to be about throwing over the middle to T.J. Graham on consecutive plays during a thunderstorm.

Is there anything in the NFL Rules that explicitly prevents the Bills from suiting up a robot? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22141438 What if the robot was an atomically correct one? Get your mind out of the gutter - - I'm talking about body parts that are mentioned in the existing rulebook, like a runner being down when his knee touches the ground or a receiver catching a ball with both feet in bounds. Might end the concussion problem for all intensive purposes, and would encourage the brainy kids to study robotics so they could help their school's athletic departments and actually get laid once in a while. NCAA national championship football game in 2026 - - MIT vs. Cal Tech. Heck, they let Arnold Schwartzenagger "act" in movies and be a governor - - so why can't the Bills turn the tables and suit up a robot to play football? Give me one good reason.

Typically less than 1/16. From the article you posted: From Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonynitti/2013/02/04/congratulations-to-the-baltimore-ravens-now-pay-your-louisiana-tax-bill/ When the Bills play a regular season game in CA, they typically don't spend six days in the state like they might for a CA Super Bowl game. And from the LA Times: http://articles.latimes.com/2009/apr/12/sports/sp-jock-tax12 NFL players who establish permanent residency in a no-income tax state like Texas or Florida can arrange their affairs so that the up-front bonus in their contracts (a significant part of their pay that is not included in each game day check) doesn't get hit by any state income taxes. As a practical matter the little guys you mention don't have that option, although if they are year-round employees maybe the percentage hit is less for them because they might have a higher number of total "duty days" than the athletes.

Or the Costco new car buying program? Any insights appreciated.

If we can just add Karl Deisseroth and/or Kwanghun Chung to the training staff, we will have the ability to make McKelvin's brain transparent: http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2013/april/clarity.html Let's hire these guys so we can see just exactly how thin McKelvin's superior temporal sulcus really is, and trace the neuron pathways in his brain. Maybe then the Stanford guys can figure out why he ran that kickoff return out of the end zone against New England and fumbled the game away. Kwanghun? Maybe his parents named him after the K-gun offense, and he'll work cheap. What have we got to lose?

I have used both priceline and the betterbidding site often. It sometimes helps to look up successful past bids for exactly one year ago, because large annual events that recur at the same time each year can soak up available hotel rooms and impact rates. Alternatively, if you feel the need to know in advance what hotel you will wind up with, in some cases you can also use the hotwire section of www.betterbidding.com to fairly confidently identify the exact hotel that is being offered to you on hotwire.com. Basically, hotwire lists hotels by amenities, but if enough people post the actual names of the hotels after accepting Hotwire's offer, you can often match the amenity list that Hotwire offers you with a specific hotel. It's a trade-off - - Priceline often gets you cheaper rooms but with some risk that you will get a hotel you don't like, while hotwire deals aren't quite as good but offer a little more transparency if you are willing to do some research at betterbidding.com. Both are usually better than the hotel's best online rates at their own websites. Hope this helped.

From the caption under the still "picture" near the top of the link: We need to let ESA borrow a drone for a couple days so they can send it up there to take real photos.

So now he's a time traveling farmer being pursued by his Mom at the Under The Udders dance? Maybe the question should be WHEN it was rather than WHAT it was. Is he just trying to remember where he parked the DeLorean?

It's a little known fact that "Smashing Pumpkins" got started that way - - they were at a harvest festival.
