  3. Yes. A couple of places: Mijas, with a great view and food, and Torremolinos. Though the latter has gotten weird lately. But if you enjoy different, you might like it. Wherever you are, ask where the local, gorgeous women perform a Flamenco dance. The better the crowd, the better the dance. Southern Spain is known for its beautiful Flamenco dancers. Morocco is a another great place to visit. It depends who is with you, whether you/they know French/Arabic, have a friend who knows the area. Souks in any major city is the place to go to bargain for hand-made and other items. Driving is nuts and I would have a difficult time recommending it to an intrepid traveler. But, if you are experienced traveler, know how to conduct yourself, recognize situations, etc. then enjoy yourself. I have French relatives who live in Casablanca so they help me out. Have a great time.
  4. Well, when I think about the words to that song, it just messes up the experience of listening to it so usually pay no attention. But when I have considered them, it seemed to me that at some point in the song, they decided to randomly put words together. Either that or somebody broke out some good weed at the recording session. In any case, nearly everything that band did was top-notch. Not to highjack this thread but I see you are from St. Aug. I have heard that many ex-Corsicans have relocated there or vacation there. I have spent some time in Corsica and heard this from a few people there and wanted to know if you could vouch for it.
  5. Glad to join in. And belated congrats on your new job. It is textbook how you went about it and should be an inspiration to anyone in a similar situation.
  6. If you can wait that long, that should be more than adequate time to make that assessment. A lot of people are unable to wait that long. For example, I know some people who are having a difficult time managing pain since Vioxx was withdrawn. They have tried other analgesics but they have not been as effective. These people would be willing to accept the risk associated with Vioxx for the pain relief. However, if a similar analoque to Vioxx was released, they would probably try it right away to see if it was effective for them. Of course, the assumption is that this is all being performed and monitored under the care of a personal physician. And, no, I do not work for Merck.
  7. Could you elucidate a bit more? That can mean several things: a physician monitoring clinical compendium as they are submitted, someone studying the stability data, you could be dealing with suppliers, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling. The marketing staff is involved in analyzing this data. You could even be in IT, managing the databases/security where this data is located, or perhaps in QA/QC or compliance. End stage development could mean any number of things. If it is not obvious, I work for a pharmaceutical company. Actually, I have worked for several in both R&D and manufacturing. And, yes, I have some open positions...good analytical scientists, microbiologists, and formulators.
  8. Thanks, good for others. This was a question for the original poster. I am very well aware of the entire process - both domestically and internationally.
  9. So I pull out my keyboard and I pull out my glock, And I dismount your girl and I mount /proc You're outside your scope, son, close them curly brackets, 'Cause I drop punk-ass bitches like a modem drops packets. KILL DASH NINE, No more CPU time. I run KILL DASH NINE, And your process is mine. I run KILL DASH NINE, 'Cause it's MY time to shine So don't step outta line or else it's KILL DASH NINE! kill -9 lyrics
  10. Curious - what is your position in the company? Are you a Sr. Scientist, work in IT, Marketing, HR, etc.? There are many people who work in a pharmaceutical organization that do not have a good understanding of the development, pre- and post-market work (clinical studies, stability, etc.) that is involved.
  11. I will agree with your last statement but there is a time and a place for everything. Consider that their are those on the board that have friends and/or family in the service. This was not just any post nor a person's opinion.
  12. OK, I will help. This was your original post: This was my reply. This is another post I made prior to yours above (I have truncated it). Obviously, it is not bunk and you knew it prior to posting as you posted 54 minutes after this. Here's the post that Dean made which people called bunk. References to the above thread in other posts have been entertaining but simply not appropriate for what was posted here. Did you read what was posted? I feel your post is, at the very least, insensitive.
  13. Repeating that is not funny here.
  14. Thanks much. As a follow-up: Operation Homecoming April 16 on PBS, including the author of the above story. Don't miss it.
  15. Your thoughtful reply and lines in your sig prompt me to be a dick. Check out the character, The Sphinx (Wes Studi), in Mystery Men. Here are a sampling of his lines in the movie: The Sphinx: We are number one. All others are number two, or lower. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sphinx: To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sphinx: You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sphinx: He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sphinx: When you care what is outside, what is inside cares for you. and then the reply by Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller) to these inane sayings: Mr. Furious: Okay, am I the only one who finds these sayings just a little bit formulaic? "If you want to push something down, you have to pull it up. If you want to go left, you have to go right." It's... The Sphinx: Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage... Mr. Furious: ...your rage will become your master? That's what you were going to say. Right? Right? The Sphinx: Not necessarily.
  16. FWIW - Waters has a song on the recently released "The Last Mimzy" collaborating with Howard Shore from "The Lord of the Rings" soundtrack. Also, there is a copy of the original 1/2" quad tape recording of Dark Side of the Moon by Alan Parsons floating around in the ether. To really appreciate it, you will want to listen to it on 5:1 sound system. It is quad, so there will be no center channel. I can vouch for the quality and the fact that it is not software created. Theories abound as to how it got out of the EMI vault. One is that Parsons released it when he was miffed that Guthrie was chosen to re-engineer the 30th anniversary CD. Maybe some EMI admin grabbed it for her boyfriend. In any case, it is amazing. Simply google "DSOTM DVDA" to find the torrent. Be prepared for a long download as there are not many seeds. I would have gladly purchased it if it were for sale but it is not available in retail.
  17. Urban legend...if you like, I can post the links countering this. These sort of accusations go back to the "In The Flesh" tour. Mostly due to newbies unfamiliar with the tape effects that Floyd and Waters have been using since the beginning. Also, to rebut a bit of the dirge that has been suggested by others in this thread that Waters is musically inept and an average bass player are really ludicrous. Obviously, Gilmour is an outstanding guitarist and Waters is better with the talented Gilmour than without him. Waters sang a bunch of early Floyd after Syd. There's "If", "Free Four", "San Tropez", "Green Is The Color", etc. and he sang all the vocals (as many as there were) on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" on WYWH. After Syd, Wright sang an equal amount to Gilmour of early Floyd tunes. Clapton (Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking) and Jeff Beck (Amused to Death) working with Waters on his solo efforts just shows how highly regarded he is. And both knew how difficult it was to work with him. Also, if you have not seen it, check out VH1s Classic Albums "Dark Side of the Moon" and watch Waters play a bluesy version of his original track for Money.
  18. What he said. Saw the show last summer. Great artist, show, band...you won't be disappointed. It's been a while since he last came around. Who knows if you will see him again.
  19. Congrats - I was on the JetBlue flight from Richmond to JFK which departed the gate shortly after the game started. We were delayed a bit on the tarmac due to traffic at JFK but took off just when the first half ended. Nearly everyone on board was watching en route and the plane erupted when the Rams pulled ahead with about 3 minutes left....good times.
  20. Hope it's not Pfizer.
  21. Yep - renewed my 2. I hope to make 3-4 games, the rest will go to others on this board as usual.
  22. Exactly, let's kill the conspiracy theory but I can understand why some folks would be upset. Personally, I think this is great - hope they get selected. I am a season ticket holder in VA so I air travel to all the home games I attend anyway. If they play in Europe, I will have to take a few extra days off and make sure my connections go through Amsterdam and include a layover.
  23. You need to get seats somewhere else. I have season tix and bring my wife and/or son(s) (ages 10 & 12) to the game and things are fine where I sit. Every once and a while someone drops an f-bomb but overall, no complaints.
  24. I might buy 2 more - it depends how much they raise prices next season.
