  1. Pfft, if anybody was cheating it was Diana. She could read minds, FFS, why did they even let her play? They let her play so they could stare at her 'big stack'!!
  2. Yes, that was quite a win! As much as I was pissed off last night, I'm glad that other countries are starting to win the WJC. The US with 2 recent wins and now Russia, it's good to spread it around a bit. I think it makes for a much better quality of hockey. As for last night, I think that Canada has 20 good minutes, not 40 like everyone else is saying. They looked weak in the 2nd - even though they did score. Their power play was sloppy and they let themselves get drawn into focusing on making the big hit instead of what kept them dominate in the first period. You could see Russia literally take the game from them.
  3. Like I said...how so? How are they superior?
  4. Yeah, I know it's a bit of a bump.... I've just been diagnosed with an L5/S1 disc herniation. I've been coping with significant back pain for months, but the other day while lowering the toilet seat (seriously...), it went nuclear. After much morphine and anti inflammatories, I'm somewhat back to normal. I see where a lot of people ask about whether jumping after this is possible, but at this stage I'm just wondering what lies ahead in the way of physio. Both the triage nurse and the ER doctor mentioned 'intense' physio. How long am I looking at here? Maybe buying that ski pass a couple weeks ago was a bit ambitious. Anyone who has gone the physio route with this type of condition - any input you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Meet My Son

    You know, I don't always agree with most of what you write on Speakers Corner... but there is no denying you are one proud Dad!!
  6. wrong, wrong, wrong. It was a missile that was launched by the UN and shot down by aliens. This explains it all!! http://www.boingboing.net/2010/11/09/pleideans-shot-down.html God love 'em. They just seem so darned committed!!!
  7. Phew. Thanks for bypassing us and heading straight for Columbia. Signed Canada. PS. you still get to keep Celine Dion.
  8. whoa, whoa.... hold on there dude. that side mount has to go!!! don't you know that's a serious hazard? riser strike will knock that right off!! other than that, I don't see anything of concern. get that sorted out and you're good to go!!
  9. Hey, Anyone seen this concert yet? No matter what you think of him, he put on a fantastic show. The visuals were outstanding, but most of all, the sound was spectacular. Well worth the price, in my opinion.
  10. Hey, I used to work about 30 miles to the east of there near Clinton, NJ. There's a lot of pharmaceutial companies all along that highway. You can raid the trash bins for expired or experimental drugs!! ...not that I ever tried doing that...
  11. This makes me sad too! Now if she was able to roll that herself, I'd be somewhat impressed!! But still sad.
  12. **bump** Mom and Dad are both skydivers...so naturally...
  13. Actually, I was talking to Andy about his pop up he was getting. I wasn't responding to your post...
  14. Was it a survey from Scorecard Research? I was getting the same thing a couple weeks ago...

    Nats results

    Omniskore is not even on site. Yet we are able to rank scores after a complete round and not do the weird shuffle of standings that SDC shows. try this link 4-way Open and compare to SDC listings Anything Omniskore provides for this year's Nationals is gravy. You wanna bitch about free stuff go ahead. . Why is it that we've taken a giant technological leap backwards? I think I remember the WPC for CF in 1998(?) having streaming video for each round. Why have we gone back to what amounts to people posting spreadsheets after the rounds are scored?
  16. You have no idea of what I'm able to accept. I accept that was a completely douchebag thing for the CBC to do. However, they were outed and they publicly apologized for it. Do you know of any news agency that hasn't been accused and found to have distorted the news to suit whatever agenda they might have? Personally, I could use a shake up at CBC. I can't stand Neil Macdonald - the chief Washington correspondent. He is far to anti American to be even remotely objective. Are they left of center? Yes, of course - so is Canada. So are most new agencies. Do they distort news to suit their view of things? Absolutely, as many do. Better yet, how many news agencies would publicly apologize for the misrepresentation. In regards to your other thread, it certainly wouldn't be Mr. Hannity (but that's right, he's not news, he entertainment....)
  17. Sure, what the hell...what is that URL. I've love to see where you 'exposed' the CBC...
  18. Somewhat related... Is there a website where we can view the results? I don't see much on the USPA or SDC site. Thanks!
  19. and they forgot one... The 2004 murder of Theo Van Gogh on a street in Amsterdam. Shot 8 times and then they tried to decapitate him. He was an outspoken critic of Islam and had just released a short movie about abuse among Muslim women.
  20. I don't think that is quite true. US wasn't involved in the Sri Lankan civil war... (oh god, please tell me you weren't involved in that one too!!) :)
  21. Given the width of some of those ships in the Gulf of Aden, I hope those guys have strong lungs!!
  22. Hang them from the yardarm!! (do ships still have those things?)
  23. I don't get it... So he supports their constitutional rights to build the mosque... But in principle, doesn't think that they should... That means he actually DOES think the mosque should be built???
