Ran 1 play with the power out... Lynch Run +3 to the 30.

They did just knock our lights out... Ouch. Bad joke. I know...

Juice is back.. Er wait... POWER is back.

Hot-air balloon hit a power cable near the stadium? No lights, no scoreboard, no clocks... broadcasts?

I just caught this walking in the room... no power at all at RWS. Anyone know what's going on? Game still on?

Dalmatians are usually pretty independent and they do have a protective streak. Pits may be great dogs, but I personally wouldn't want to deal with the crap that surrounds them.... uneasy friends, insurance issues, and so on.

I've had better luck with female dogs as well to tell you the truth. Both of mine are girls. Don't rule out the crate, though. It's not a bad thing. Almost all vets and rescue groups will actually recommend it. I wouldn't be surprised if some rescues actually require that you have a crate for when you're not home. My dogs are both crate trained. It's akin to a dog house, really. My wife is home all day, so they're out most of the time. Instead of leaving them home alone to get into trouble, we simply tell them to 'go home' and they happily bound off to the two crates we've setup for them. That's also where they go to hide bones and whatnot. This seems to cover it pretty well. Though note that I've heard different opinions on feeding your dog in a crate. Based on what you've said... a Basset, perhaps a Chow... Dalmatian might be good, too? Plus, they have spots. Spots are cool. Well, measles aren't cool, but spots on dogs are. The chow and the Dalmatian would have a bit of a protective instinct as well, which might be good if you live alone. The Basset would make a lot of noise, but probably wouldn't hurt a fly.

Same here. He was very much the neighborhood dog. He was a Shepherd/Husky mix. A big monster dog. Nicest thing, too. Still the best dog I've had. He used to love burying himself in the Buffalo snow. Though, the husky I have now is pretty close... she listens very well and has that "soft mouth" that most retrievers have.

I may have missed this... but what exactly are you looking for? Good with kids? A one-person-dog? Friendly all around? A guard dog? Do you have a badger hunting addiction and you're looking for a partner?

Yeah, if you're looking to keep the dog outside most of the time, a Husky in Texas is not a good idea. The double coat will help keep it cool, but not cool enough to live outside. You would have to ensure you have a nice shady spot and some shelter so it didn't overheat. I'm in GA. Mine stays indoors for the most part during the day. I take her for a good long walk after the sun goes down and it gets cooler. A basset or a beagle might be a good choice?

Ain't that a B word? So is shifting and dealing with a clutch. When I first got to Australia a few years back it took me a couple days to really get the hang of it. 2.89 N. of Atlanta as of yesterday afternoon.

Honestly, I'd skip the pit for the simple fact that explaining how harmless he is would get really, really old. Every time you've got company, you'll need to put him away somewhere. No matter how many times you tell most people it's safe, they'll probably never really relax around it, which will keep the dog on edge. There are other annoyances as well. Your insurance will go up or you'll simply have trouble staying insured. GA still has those lists of dangerous dogs, I'm not sure about NY. Just, quite honestly, not worth the trouble. Seems to me that there are just too many hassles surrounding a pit. I still vote Husky, with the Basset being a close second!

Can't help you on pits. It'd be weary of a rescue pit as there's probably a chance that a previous owner may have been planning on using it as a fighting dog. I'd love to hear some objective info as well. I've heard that they can be very good dogs if brought up right. All I hear about here in Atlanta are Vick and his dogs. Both of my dogs are rescue girls. I've a Basset and a Siberian Husky. Both are great animals, though they're on opposite ends of the energy spectrum. If you'd consider a Basset, I know there's a great rescue up that way. I believe it's called ABC. I've met a couple of the guys that run it. My rescue dogs: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=5757...mp;id=569239125 The Siberian is a great dog, but she need a lot of exercise. She runs about four miles a night with me. Very smart and somewhat mischievous. I think there's a Husky rescue up there too... Husky Savers or Husky Helpers or something like that.

.22? It's gotta be an accident.

Yeah, especially as she's nastying up his uniform. Notice the emblem was blurred out.

My wife also makes these ones that are like grilled meatloaf almost, covered in cheese.... awesome burgers.

I voted for the one requested, but #1 is an order of magnitude above the rest.

Which ones? Would that make you a hockey dad?

Wow, later Henry...

Ding ding ding. Good people screw up sometimes and get caught with a doobie. You've got to have some scumbag in you already to start selling the powdered stuff. Now, of course, 4 mil. and life in jail is the high end... that's the "caught in a Stephen Segal movie wearing a black pony tail and sporting a white suit" punishment. Some undercover dude may have "simply" spotted him taking some cash for sharing a line with a buddy. Either way, he's a tool.

Edwards taken off on a cart... eyes "glazed over." They're stabilizing his head, so says GR. Son of a B word!

Every time I open the 'Off The Wall' forum, I think I see "Oh, Miss Florida!" I think to myself... "Oh good, pictures of a hot girl." Then, I slow down and read it again. Disappointment. I've done this about 4 times now.

Well played, very well played.

Okay.. on Linux, it is possible to partition ANY block device (see below). The difference is that they boot different. The PC hardware isn't going to look for an MBR on a floppy device, it's just going to load a boot sector directly from LBA 0. A hard disk is going to look for a record and load from a bootable partition. It has to do with what's recognized by the system versus what you can actually write.

Here's a hint... where is the partition information stored on a hard disk? The REAL answer? Who the hell uses floppy disks?
