Villain has AK, right?

Good point. I stand corrected.Dave: You forgot that Caldwell is also responsible for ridiculous challenges. -
It's hard not to have the impression that Caldwell is in charge of calling time-outs at random times and everything else is Manning.
-
The letters she references are the Epistles of Paul (e.g., Romans), which are clearly in the bible canon. What are you talking about?Some of the letters you mention are good quality doctrinally fine letters. That doesn't mean they rise to the level of being included in the canon. For the main reason that they placed large reasonable requirements like needing an Apostle's authority behind it. None of these being left out ever change the meaning of the Bible, the problem of sin and the forgiveness through Christ anyway.

^^^ ThisHow on earth is this Manning's fault, unless you're blaming Manning for either calling the play . . .
^^^Not thisor completing a pass??
There's obviously nothing wrong with the execution of the throw. It's hard not to have the impression that Caldwell is in charge of calling time-outs at random times and everything else is Manning. Could be just be a TV impression.He didn't expose his guy by throwing a bad pass. He threw it in stride to a wide open receiver.The blame goes to the org. for letting Collie play, but you can't blame Manning for throwing a perfect pass to an open receiver running a seam route. That's just silly. -
I think it's apparent that this situation is an accident waiting to happen. If there's no way for a quarterback to avoid this situation, then Collie shouldn't be on the field, imho.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7DqxEaRR0UDave is wrong. -
That sounds like an emotional roller-coaster. I hope everything works out for you.I'm mostly relieved, but a small part of me is a little sad, too. -
I call that "going outside". Camping has for me been more about hauling around gear and sleeping with slugs, surrounded by 400 other people a few feet away.I could get behind a survival challenge, but not intentional slight discomfort and inconvenience.Wow can't believe you all hate camping, perhaps you haven't done it right.Sitting around a campfire with great friends after a great meal on a nice cool evening smoking cigars and drinking with a billion stars over your head, doesn't get much better than that. -
Mexican is hanging around the 2/5 game for no apparent reason. Mixed race guy in the 8 seat (sporting matching white Air Jordon shirt and hat, flashy gold watch, sunglasses, and tied piece of string for a bracelet) slips chips off his stack to him. He takes the chips across the room, briefly visiting the adjacent tables. (Imagine the singing reluctant groom from The Holy Grail tentatively walking toward the window to shoot his message out the window to John Clease.) He walks up behind the 2 seat (older native of Guam wearing a Tony Hawk hoodie) and deposits the chips on top of his stack.It could have been as innocent as a red/black prop bet, but I didn't like the vibe. Based on the conversation, the dealer clearly knows the 2 seat from outside this room. I cashed out, explained the situation to the floor, and left.Tell the cheating story Dave. -

55" LCD (New stand also)
Replaced my 47" Flat Movie Theatre Screen that I got when HD came out before all carriers started carrying HD, probably 9 years ago.That's a big ole TV. It's still amazing to me that they can be so thin, though. Very cool.
Star Trek foresaw interstellar travel but not flat panel displays.

Baseball wise men:Is a low arm slot a thing to fix? Supposing it is, how do you fix it?
-
Yeah, baseball will run until approximately June 20.We'll see. It looks like Little League is going to interfere, but I'm not sure. He wants to go. -
*****Let's ask Dave -
I think the motions each being independently continuous is not sufficient. There can be multiple motions as long as there is no pause in between. DN paused, so it's not a legal raise under clause A, but I believe the floor ruled that he made a verbal declaration.Since everybody is ignoring ninjafoo's post, here it is again:The rule states "one or more continuous motion(s) without going back toward the player's stack." Daniel clearly mesaured out a raise and had it in his other hand, then placed it in two, definitley continuous, motions without touching his stack again. I think it clearly falls under the "one or more" definition in the ruling -
As a general principle, if you ever find yourself insisting that someone extend courtesy that etiquette demands, you're not educating them, you're being an *******.

This is the tail wagging the dog, imho. The right game selection is worth a lot more than the typical bonus.I appreciate what you're saying, trystero, and the main reason I'm focused on Rush right now is to clear my new Tilt bonus. -
Does it bother you more, less, or the same as a company that asks for one price but would really be willing to accept something lower?It's the fake complaining in exchange for less money, or people who think they've beat the system by asking for lower rates when they would be willing to pay the full rate that bugs me. And yes, I have worked in customer service recently... -
I don't accept this as a given. If it turns out the cable is a crappy way to deliver entertainment it should operate at a loss and then fail. If it turns out that people don't value entertainment at the current level, then the entertainment industries should adjust or fail. There's no natural law of the universe that makes Brad Pitt's or Kobe Bryant's salary appropriate. It's just what people have been willing to pay.Do you have an obligation to pay the sticker price for a new car? Don't the same arguments apply?I did not. Whatever words you're substituting "civic responsibility" for instead submit "financial requirement." If everyone used this strategy, we would not all magically pay less money. We would get lower-quality service, in line with what we're actually paying, given that the companies will not operate at a loss.
Generically, no. But the implication is that I'm stealing from the other customer who paid full price if I negotiate a lower price. I don't think there's a direct relationship. How would the price of cable ever go down in your model?The point is - if I offered you $100 to raise your hand, if you also knew it would cause 10,000 to lose a penny?I'm not trying to tell you what the answer to that question is, I'm just pointing out the situations are analgous. -
Isn't it? I thought you wrote that people have a civic responsibility to pay the asking price for cable to support their infrastructure costs.Agreed.Though it is typical to say something relevant to the post you've quoted. -
Society does not have a responsibility to ensure a company's traditional business model succeeds.Cable companies don't make a ton of money. In fact, they generally don't make much at all, and very few make money in the mid- or long-term. Just because a company is big or powerful doesn't mean they are making money in a meaningful way, especially in an industry where basic upkeep of infrastructure costs 10s of millions per year. -
The only thing we want to fold is a straight, and I don't think that makes up much of his total range.but we need to try and rep the flsuh here, so if they dont have it they fold a lot, and if they do, we have outs. -
This is a cool reunion. I can't wait to see who got fat.

You don't have to kill yourself to get there.It's easy to compensate for inexact finger placement with excess pressure. If you get nylon strings, get the ones for a steel string guitar (not a classical one intended for nylon only).Nope. Everyone keeps telling me to build up the callouses.
