A change of ownership and hence management can and has done wonders. Hotels are easy (but expensive) to re-do - but the people running them are all the difference. Paul Snyder has always been a magician when it comes to using other people's money = too bad about the Buffalo Braves (water over the Falls)

Certain players can elevate the performance pf their teammates on a limited basis. At the LB position Chris Spielman and Darryl Talley fulfilled that role in the past. The difference maker in 3-4 games ? Probably not - but the concept exists Leonard Smith was used up by the time the Bills had him - but his charisma was an intangible - and sometimes that works

I'll be flying Rich - you'll have to eat mine - IT sausage I know you can do it

Any advice is appreciated. I want to give a nice gift of cash, but do not want to overdo it. 412349[/snapback] Unless it is a close friend - relationship kind of thing - a "cash" gift should approximate the cost of two fine dinners - if you were going out - my rule of thumb - $100

I am bringing you a "special" hot sauce - flavor over fire !

Do you feel "sheepish" about it ?

Once of the best da*n looking 50's I know - but all TBD ladies are "sweet"

Pandas are actually a member of the racoon family and no specimen over 300 lbs has been documneted (in recent times). In zoo pregnanacies - two embryos are often confirmed by sonogram - but so far only one ever seems to be delivered and survive - nature's way http://www.bearbiology.com/gpdesc.html

If you like hockey - The HOF is well worth a visit - you see all the Trophys up close and personal - and they're beautiful http://www.hhof.com/html/gi100.shtml If it's a clear day - the CN Tower (Up) ride is well worth the price of admission

I had trouble getting in last year because of my firewall - but no trouble last night - I know my wife changed our security system but can't say what it is - I thought SDS said he changed something about the Chat Room ?

Give me a cell number - I'll "phone" it in I swear - if you could find a decent hot dog out here in CA - scummers would be a "hit" It's a sorry state of affairs when 7-11 has the best hots (Osacr M on a roller)

Does it count if I have a fish "taco" at 9 AM (my time) ? I'll look at the guy next to me and say, 'JP will be allright - eventually'. 'Please pass the pincante' Best I can do

I was quite surprised to find that the SD Chargers media quide came on CD Rom I wonder how many other teams have made the transition ? I also don't know (yet) if the Chargers are available on paper

For years in Erie County everytime there was budget crisis (this one ain't the first) one of the first things always threatened are the libraries. I guess this partly due to the fact that their funding is non-mandated and a "hot button" topic for some folk, So here's the topic again: http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050722/1051943.asp I have heard the same discussions in San Diego (the city proper) which is suffering its' own budget meltdown. I have heard talk show hosts describe how libraries are useless in today's age - and I'm surprised how many callers agree. I grew up in a age where the corner library was everything. I swear I read every book (of interest) at my library (Lake Ave. & Latta Road) in Charlotte before age 12. I still go every couple of weeks to my local branch here - and spend a couple of hours just to browse the racks and pick a book off the shelf that looks interesting. Also, when I have a project/paper to finish - I go there and pull up a table because there will be limited distractions. Now, there are many people there but on weekends the longest lines are for the PC's. People who don't own a PC can't go anywhere else for free. The only thing I can disagree with is when did the public libraries go into the movie business ? Why should they spend money on videos/DVD's when that is a function of Blockbuster (choke) et al ? That would be more money for actual books. Remember, public libraries were relatively rare except for large metropolitan areas prior to the 1930's. Pay libraries - so many cents per day - for a book were up and running. So, do you still use your public library ? And what did you do with your 20 volume set of Encyclopedia Britanica ?

Is the program pulled ? Too late anyway - the horse is already gone from the barn - http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44987

What happens when the people don't lead? Look around. OK, resume rending. 367780[/snapback] Please look up "naive" in a dictionary - when local politicos have a SCOTHUS ruling behind them - what possible chance does a commoner have ? Their dollars will outlast the losers' dollars - simple fact of life Phase two from Lonsberry - let both sides have it http://www.lonsberry.com/writings.cfm?story=1691&go=4 I may have voted for President Bush - but he has said ditto about this issue and his performance on the Mexicana-America border sures sucks too Expect that issue to become more important as 2008 gets closer

Without a change in the NYS Constitution - whomever is governor does not matter At least in California - the statewide referndum option makes somethings possible http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../n152725D31.DTL

I get to hear Tony Snow's show on late night radio as I am coming home from work and this is just too good - Before you judge Snow as an AM right winger, he gets a whole spectrum of guests from all sides - because - he is just a "nice" guy So anyway - Jesse J. can't find enough insult in the US anymore - so he goes into Mexico http://www.dailystar.com/dailystar/news/82119.php

Are you trying to usurp someone's role ?

SDS speaks wisely - ecspecially about the "tip". Let the serving staff "kinda" of know what is in store for them at evening's end and the level of service should definitely be attentive. There will always be chislers and cheaters at such events - accept, ignore and move on - the moment is too good to waste.

So the wishes of a handful of people takes priority over an entire region ? Plus the rest of the county has to pay higher taxes just to placate a few people ? A dying region is in need of this boost. Sometimes, situations arise that need tweeking for a good reason. 365992[/snapback] Mark - What if it was your house ?
