Problem is you have to wade through so much garbage to actually find something good, its hardly worth the time.

My one question is why psychics can't see tomorrow's winning lottery numbers or which company's stock would take off like a rocket? You'd think those would be easy ones and they would all be rich as hell.

I'm 5'11" and my current weight is 178. My highest was about 195 about 8 months ago. Got that down by simply cutting my alcohol intake significantly.

Unis. Current ones are so god awful that people are trying to see if they will be good (like the fan design in the Rosen thread) or garbage like the Nike ones.

You should send them to the friggin Bills. They are very nice unis.

Awww and I was just getting used to Cannon at RT. I love that pick.

Yep...time to pick up an old TV at the Salvation Army for the draft. Happens every couple of years...I get so angry at our picks that I inevitably throw something into the TV. Last broken one was because of Maybin. If we may take a CB with our needs at OT, QB and defensive front 7..another one will break this year.

I find tinsel distracting.

The station holiday party is at the Friars Club on the 15th. Figure an announcement that day/night.

Exactly how I feel about NYC. I get it.

Please tell me he is signed for a long time.

I drink all my whiskeys or whiskys neat. If you like Knob Creek and are really looking for a good, easy to find bourbon, try Bakers. I am a big fan of Bakers. For those who want a cold drink without the ice melting and watering down the drink, try this. A good friend who also likes cold drinks swears the ice melts much slower and does not water down the drink. I always thought Jame-o was the Catholic whiskey and Bushmill the Protestant, although since Jameson bought Bushmill I guess they can now both be considered "Catholic" whiskeys.

Try these online distributors. http://tuthilltown.com/where-to-buy/online-retailers-of-tuthilltown-spirits

Mmmmm...Bourbon. Here's one for you guys to try...made by NY's first distillery since prohibition. Absolutely fantastic. My favorite is the Baby Bourbon. Its tricky to find in local liquor stores, the brand will really expand now that Wm Grant bought it. The guys were pretty open to traveling to have tastings. http://tuthilltown.com/ http://tuthilltown.com/category/products

You'd have zero chance of relocation. The NHL would not allow it. If Bettman would only field offers from owners looking to keep the team in Buffalo last time, you'd have to think it would be much the same this time. Also, Buffalo is the NHL's #1 US market. No chance of relocation.

Interesting that he points to the Rivers/Eli deal as the turning point because of the xtra draft choices. Something to consider if we end up with #1 overall.

Getting member number....

They are not killing it. Right now, it only applies up to $1 million principal balance on the mortgage. They are proposing to reduce the deduction to $500k principal balance rather than $1 million. Anything over 500k you would not get the interest deduction. As with most of these things, I wish there was a cost of living adjustment for living in high cost areas like SF, NYC, LA so that the intent of the proposal, to curtail the deduction for those who do not really need it would apply evenly across the board. A 500k house in Buffalo may be only for top earners, but its a middle class house on long island or westchester. Keeping it at $1 million for high cost areas (which have already been defined by Fannie/Freddie with respect to conventional loans) and I could support this proposal.

No. First of all, the bond is a security. In most cases, it is unlawful for any entity that is not a registered broker-dealer to sell a security per the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. So nix the commercial bank idea. A large commercial bank in Buffalo with a broker-dealer in its branches could be workable provided that any individual purchasing the bonds also opens a securities account with the broker-dealer. Another problem you will run into is state Blue Sky laws. I'm assuming these bonds will not have the benefit of Federal pre-emption of state securities laws pursuant to Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1933, therefore these bonds will likely need state registration (which can be a bear). New York would likely be doable provided the bonds were sold by a registered broker-dealer, but registration in other states could be problematic. The Sports Acquisition Corp. that tried to buy the Panthers was a SPAC (Special Purposes Acquisition Company) that went public to raise the money for its special purpose. The purchase failed and it is returning the money. However, because it was a listed, public company, it did not need state registration. It would help you if you get hold of the Packers offering document from 1998. That may help give you some ideas.

Beautiful response by Cleveland. Lovin' it. Eff him. I think the greatest and most underrated offseason move in the NBA was Boston signing Delonte West. Ya think Delonte will be on the court whenever LeBum is on it anytime Boston plays Miami (West was hurt for the season opener). I can only imagine the "Delonte" and "Who's your Daddy" chants when LeBum visits the Garden.

Poz, Williams and likely Troupe are the only building blocks we have in the front 7. Carrington could turn into something, although it will take time. Our LBs are truly atrocious. I hope Merriman shows something, but we need at least 2 new starting quality NFL LBs in the offseason.

Don't forget heating oil....just in time for winter in the Northeast. Wonderful.

I'm still gettin' in the girls' pants and I even got my own dance

CORE CPI does not include housing, but rather owner's equivalency rent, which is why house prices doubled from 2000-2005 without any monetary response. Get ready for far more expensive things you need like gas, heating oil and food and far cheaper things you want like flat screen TVs. Yes, this will decimate the lower middle and working poor classes. The employment situation will not improve, profit margins will be squeezed as cost inputs rise and sales fall off due to higher costs. Businesses will need to protect margins somewhere, so here comes the layoff axe again. If we are talking inflation mandate for the Fed, it is 1-2%. Check out the latest GDP report, in 2Q you had 2% and 2.2% in Q3...where's the problem? Or is he just lying re: inflation mandate? Ultimately...Damon Silvers said it best...this is THE choice.

Thank you for that link; just made my day! Yes. Yes it does.
