You know, actually, I kinda liked that movie too. I'm just not sure I'd admit it anywhere else but here! By the way, I am now officially proud of using GoDaddy.com to register my domain!

Oh come on, it couldn't be any worse than Kindergarten Cop!

The Moab? Like Moab, Utah?

That Bud Light commerical with the sky divers was pretty funny. I totally didn't expect the pilot to jump ship....

I am, and it ROCKS I love HDTV

Perhaps you should ask for a 'logical' multi-sentence explanation...might get more meaningful results that way

I have an Onkyo TX-8511 receiver and I'm also wondering the best way to hook up four sets of speakers to it. Basically, it has the two speaker ports and I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to hook all four to one port through the use of one of those 4-port speaker switches. I'm just not sure what other way to do it...

Correct, just looking for some good quality speakers with nice sound. Thanks for the ideas...

I'm looking to put some in-ceiling speakers in my dining area, and it's tough to find good information on those since there are much fewer to choose from. I know there are a lot of audiophiles around here, so I was hoping someone had some experience with these. I'm not looking to drop a load on them, but I'm looking for good quality...

Both my dogs gobble Canidae up with a little chicken broth added. We buy a 40 lb bag each time, and we don't seem to be paying much more than we did for the "cheap" stuff.

Thanks! That was really helpful.

Was just reading about Tagliabue's comments on the talks regarding the new collective bargaining agreement (on ESPN.com), and it sounds like Gene Upshaw and the players want to share more of the local revenues. Seems they want things like revenues from local television and radio contracts, stadium club seating and luxury suites included in salary cap calculations. I'm not too good with the accounting issues, but if this flies it sounds like this could be a real benefit for smaller markets like Buffalo. We really lose out on these kinds of revenues compared with larger cities, so any inclusion of these in the salary cap calculations would help us out, at least I think...

Ah, I see. I'm not sure if the rules stipulate how far behind the line of scrimmage you need to spot the ball, but the official distance is recorded from wherever it is the ball is spotted. So, apparently, Norwood liked his kicks spotted 8 yards back.

I don't quite understand what the confusion is. The ball was at the 29. Teams spot the ball either 7 or 8 yards behind the line of scrimmage (I thought it was usually 8 now), and you add 10 for the end zone, like you said. 29 + 8 + 10 = 47. Am I missing something?

I agree, I liked DS9 once the Dominion War started, but I never did see the series finale. I didn't watch Voyager except for a handful of times, but I heard the series finale of that was pretty good, and I missed that one too. Anyone know where or how I can catch the finale of either of these?

I thought it was going to be goofy, but it was really funny. That pregnancy test scene was freaking hilarious!

I wonder if a Buffalo home game in Toronto isn't just another way of regionalizing support for the Bills, which would then just open the door in the future for a move from Buffalo to Toronto. Perhaps their thinking is that Buffalo and Toronto are close enough that Bills fans would still be willing and able to support the team. At the same time, it would allow to team to exist in a city which would be more likely to sell out the luxury suites. A bunch of crap, if you ask me.

Thanks for the link, I appreciate it.

With a score like that, I'm sure somebody in Vegas would have made a crapload of dough.

I think you're right, I remember hearing that Indy and Arizona are probably getting new stadium deals, so a move by them is less likely. I dont know about San Diego, though. I had thought Minnesota was in the same situation, but I did just hear about a possibility that Emmett Smith was thinking of joining an Arizona group looking to make a bid for the Vikes. I guess I could see that group buying the Vikes and moving them to nearby L.A. Losing the NFL in Minnesota would really suck, though. I forgot about New Orleans, and I could really see that as a possibility as well. Unforunately, I do still see Buffalo as the possible third team with Minnesota and New Orleans, particularly given the lease situation.

I wonder which three teams would seriously be considered. My guess is that Indy is no longer an option, and probably the same with Minnesota. If there is one team that makes the most sense, it would be Arizona. I don't know what the situation is with their stadium, but the team wouldn't even have to switch divisions to be in the "correct" one. That team has such pathetic support as well. If Buffalo is even seriously considered, it would be such a travesty simply because the team has such great fan support, and that would really just be crapping all over the fans solely in the interest of the mighty buck.

Buy up to what?

This is, perhaps, one of the best posts I have read on PPP, period. I'm a Democrat, and I agree completely.

Yeah, my main concern is that my house was built in 1921. Used to have all knob-and-tube wiring, but the majority of it has been replaced. That should be good news, since most of the wiring is relatively new, but it still gives me the heebie-jeebies. Is that in any way related to a conjunction junction device? Thanks for the advice...I'll always be worried about the wiring.

I've been thinking about delving into this, mostly for controlling lights and things. But I've always been hampered by this (probably irrational) fear of using light controllers and the risk of fire. Is this fear real or completely outdated?
