Mmmm, not so much down South. Now I know I'm painting with a broad brush, but most (but not all) of the people I know who recycle here (Atlanta) are originally from the North....although to your point, it is on the increase. Kind of an offshoot topic, although at its base, it's oil related..... The company I work for used to lobby like crazy to keep deposit law bills out of legislation, believing that it would adversely affect purchase intent. While we still don't advocate deposit laws, we have invested a significant amount of money in the development of reverse vendors (bottle return machines @ supermarkets) and earmarked an additional $60 million to open the world's largest plastic bottle recycling plant in S. Carolina...which is scheduled to come on line this year and ramp up to full production in 2009. We made a commitment about 10 years ago, at the behest of environmental groups to include 20% recycled PET in our containers (The FDA limits recycled content for some food containers). After making the commitment, we discovered that the supply wasn't there and what supply existed, was being drawn by the carpet industry. To wrap up this drawn out story, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilty) is a big buzzword(s) now. Some corporations see it as a PR move, and from a business standpoint, it is. However, with most consumer products companies fighting an unprecedented cost of goods increase over the last two years, CSR is now being looked at for its financial impact to the bottom line. Wal-Mart is actually at the forefront of sustainability, whether it be through recycling or material reduction. Again, the driver is money, but we (society/environment) will benefit. I now conclude my PSA. By the way, before I went off on my tangent, I wanted to post this link. % of Income Spent on Gasoline (U.S)

Brilliant!

Just for my own clarification, are you suggesting that a 10% raise in the capital gains rate would not give a would be investor pause?

I'm gonna need a summer exemption on that one. We're already flirting with 100 degrees here in the A-T-L.

End up? Ambition had nothing to do with it.

Did we get any of the FA's we we were lookign at?

Think of the children people.

It's their definition of "middle class" that I have a problem with.

How abot a pusscatore? Agree though...I got to sit front row at a tee box in Augusta a couple years ago. People don't realize how jacked he is.

Me, Myself & Irene Van Wilder Ski School Not sure if they're overlooked, but Road Trip almost made me piss myself the first time I saw it. Euro Trip wasn't far behind.

He still owes me an hour of my life back for that catastrophe.

Well, he's no Chuck Norris.

WTF? I don't have Lion's season tickets....I swear.

This reminds of the joke, "What has nine arms and sucks?" Don't shoot the messenger, pre-"Pour Some Sugar on Me," Def Leppard rocked.

No Way!!!!

Second the rush hour problems. I work in the Wildwood complex just above 285/75. When are you going? East Atlanta Beer Festival is last Saturday in May. If you can see if the Braves are in town. Head down to Atlantic Station for eats/drinks/hanging out/shopping. Take the Sweetwater brewery tour Thurs/Fri. Decent Bars & restaraunts....ummm Vinings is probably the closest to the Crowne.

Too bad Marty was never given the chance to win the starting job in Buffalo. Oh wait........

Jobu - 68 plays, 65 energy @ end. Finch - 11 plays, 95 energy @ end. Gut - 51 plays, 79 energy @ end. Matrix - 22 plays, 91 energy @ end. Guessing you don't need Stumpy's #'s Not sure what happened with Matrix. Krunch is 2-3 points ahead of him in stamina, but managed 50+ plays. Smash was also in the low 20's and Jack was 50+. I can't see their physical settings. The Pine(s) managed more plays tahn both Matrix & Smash at slightly less stamina. I do have Matrix's iplay ntensity set at hard.

Gut continues to be "en fuego" collecting another 2 sacks...and somehow registered a pancake????

I don't understand this pick for the Browns, already having Winslow.

Yah! FDR did nothing to squeeze the Japanese.

Thanks. Looks like we got th ehelp we needed which means we face the Philadelphia Eagles juggernaut in the first round. All in all congrats to tgreg for turning around the Meatball train.

That's why I'm always on the lookout for wayward musical instruments. It's like hitting the lottery.
