I think they then ask you to submit a video saying your name, job, fun facts etc. They just want to make sure you are loud/energetic enough to be good on tv. If so, they invite you to come to one of their casting call things where you solve some sample puzzles and do a little mock show type thing. (again, they are most worried about how you'll be on tv. My wife is a teacher so she had no problem with that part) I'm going to guess the person who claims he "hates people" isn't going to be the rah rah energetic guy on film. But maybe I'm wrong, haha. Maybe littlehurt has a switch that he can flip.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 10:27 AM) You can definitely install lastpass on multiple devices. I don't share with my wife so can't comment on that. Might need two lastpass accounts for that but I would check into it. Yes, you can have it auto populate your logins across any device and it plays nicely with fingerprint scanners on phones. Whenever I sign up to a new site, lastpass will prompt whether I want to generate a new password and save the site. The beauty is in creating the password. You can have it generate up to a 100 character password and of course you never have to remember it. It's quite easy to use. I'm aware of their hack. I went ahead and changed my master password right away. Probably a good idea to change that one periodically. Just started playing around with it and it looks great. And best part, it seems that I can just slowly build up the "database" of stuff as I visit various places.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) I use lastpass. I have the premium version which is relatively inexpensive but they have a free version you can check out. I basically have one super complex password to lastpass. Every other password is randomly generated for every site I use and they are extremely complex. I love not having to remember any of the other passwords anymore. Works with moblie devices too. Is it easy to have on multiple computers, so that my wife and I can have everything aggregated together. I love mint and the ability to get my financial picture without going all over the planet, but then when I need to get something changed on some random account I never use, it takes forever? My research seemed to indicate lastpass was really good (although it had gotten hacked about a year ago...which was one concern about using one of those companies vs. just like a google drive doc that I password protect...at least then someone would have to look for my google drive and know I had the file there). Not sure if that is really much different or not. So whenever you go to various websites, the lastpass password and login automatically populate (on your devices you have it up...iphone / android phone / apple computer / PC, etc?). Asking more cause I don't want to go through the effort of pulling this all together and then not liking whatever tool / option I go with (cause figuring out all my passwords will be a pain in the ass in and of itself). Mainly for those random things you never ever access or hope to never access.

Anyone have a good, secure way of managing all your passwords. And when I say "secure", I mean in the relative sense, where it is secure, but you can keep everything in one spot without it being a giant pain to ever access, etc. Oh and I want free. Do people just use googledrive with a protected spreadsheet, or does anyone use the fancier tools that are out there (which auto remember, input, etc). I'm tired of going to certain accounts every once in a while to only have to struggle to ever remember how to get on.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 11:24 PM) It was a long time ago but IIRC...They asked her if she where she was from so they could find a local dealer to arrange the car's pickup (and I assume the type of car, options,etc). They contacted her about a week after she came back to school and said they couldn't find her car near us and offered the cash value or a car from a dealer in St. Louis area. We were in Carbondale and she was FROM St. Louis so going there to get car was no big deal. The show arranged it with the dealer..She went in. Signed a few papers. I guess the show or dealer alerted the local paper as there was a reporter there for a pic/interview. I'd have ran with the cash value.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) Not to be a Debbie Downer, but did they give you a tax bill on all that stuff? I also wondered how that worked I had a good friend who won and then finished second in the showcase. You do get a tax bill.

Ecco those sentiments. Good for you guys who have recognized a problem and taken it by the horns to correct it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 05:54 AM) Holy s*** was last nights episode of Sherlock amazing. It was almost what the movie Saw set out to be, but totally failed at. Looking forward to watching it tonight after the kids go down.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 08:52 AM) Perhaps, SF is waiting to interview a coach that's on a playoff team. They actually have already interviewed both McDaniels & Shanny (did so during each teams bye week). They've also interviewed Tom Cable, Anthony Lynn (person who had been Bills interim coach), Sean McDermott (Bills new HC), Vance Joseph (Broncos new HC), and Sean McVay (Rams new HC). On that list, I would assume that it will likely be either Shanny / McDaniels getting the job (unless they pull a wildcard). A lot of people thought the Niners were going to hire a Pats guy as the GM, but supposedly he ended up saying he wasn't interested (and the presumption is McDaniels would have been a package deal with him). I presume hold up in San Fran is they want to finalize the new GM to ensure the coach / GM dynamic works properly. It now seems that Ron Wolf's son might be the Niners GM (they are currently pretty focused on two Packers guys).

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 08:39 AM) Its pretty safe to say that Fangio isnt going anywhere next season right? Now that vacancies are being filled it doesnt look like there are any other landing spots for him. Well, it seems very unlikely that Fangio would get a HC gig at this point (since San Francisco would already know him pretty well and didn't act in the past and appears focused on an offensive head coach (presumably one of Shanny / McDaniels). That said, it could be that at some point one of these teams reaches out to Fangio to be the DC and he could ask Fox and Fox (depending on the relationship) could allow Fangio to leave. I will say, if Fox stinks, on my realistic list, Shanny would be my top choice (Harbaugh is my actual #1). I can't believe he hasn't gotten a gig this year already (presume San Fran will hire him or Josh).

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) Screw Jason, I want to see them play in an ice storm. I'm actually okay with that too.

That is awesome...I get to watch a sunday night game (my time). Fantastic for me (hopefully it is a good gmae).

Anyone think the Bulls might target Dragic in a trade? No idea what the Heat would want (and clearly we don't have a ton to offer, but we could offer the expirings needed to free up there cap space and start a rebuild).

Nice win over Purdue. I can't say Iowa should be 4-1 cause they could have just as easily lost the Michigan game (which went to OT) or even this Purdue game (heck, the ball went out on Iowa, maybe not totally definitive to overturn, so Purdue should have been shooting with Iowa up 1 vs. Iowa up 3 as time was expiring). It is too bad Jok isn't around another year. If he was, my eyes would be exstatic over what next year could do for the Hawkeyes. That said, this team is going to have some tough / bad losses due to inexperience, but they have been enjoyable to watch (I didn't watch much of them until big 10 play started).

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) Rams hand over struggling franchise to a 30-year-old http://nypost.com/2017/01/12/rams-hand-ove...-a-30-year-old/ He supposedly nailed both the Niners and Rams interview. He gets a lot of credit for Cousins and is supposedly really really bright. Only question is whether he has enough experience yet to handle the big thing or not. Seems like a decent type of guy to have groom Goff. Risky, sure, but if he can get some experienced assistants and isn't overly arrogant it could end out working out brilliantly.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) man, child care costs are outrageous. Yes...yes they are.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Yeah, even though that seems like clearly the best path, I really don't envy the position you're in. It'll suck to let her go because you're not heartless, but you gotta do what's best for your own child. Echo these sentiments.

Ahh...would help if I could see the image (but can't click on the link).

What does this mean?

The Chargers are timing it right, given how bad the Rams are. Whomever can get good fastest has the best shot at actually getting the fan base, imo. I also don't expect that a ton of Charger fans just stop following so I think the Chargers probably still will hold a good size fan base, especially in the orange county and riverside markets (south of LA)...plus the San Diego market. There are plenty of Charger fans, but can you really blame them for having attendance issues when no one knows where they are going to play the following year (this issue has been on-going for a while now). I am going to presume Rivers will use "retirement" talk to force a trade (possibly to Denver).

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 09:48 AM) Sessions gets his ass kissed from fellow republicans and some great jokes by funny man Lindsey Graham! Democrats are cowards and so we probably get AG Sessions confirmed with ease. A man who thinks the worst think about the KKK is they smoke pot and thinks the NAACP are communists. I think we are in trouble here folks. Do people believe that Sessions said that pot comment in seriousness? When I heard it, it sounds like someone who was being totally sarcastic. Please note, I'm specifically referring to that comment not other aspects of Sessions.

Right now everyone is in a game of chicken to see who moves first. The interesting thing will be, if one team (hopefully it isn't the Sox) moves, will other teams quickly react. All depends on how serious some of these teams are.

This whole Rose story obviously reeks of the fact that he is so mentally weak. Basically, he got benched and thought to himself, am I better off just not playing the game. By and large, I think he has not really wanted to play basketball since he had his injuries. It shows in his play. Its unfortunate, because if he had Westbrooks' attitude, Rose would still be one of the top PG's in the league (imo). I fully believe his lack of production is tied to his indifference to basketball vs. any physical limitations. But hey, its up to him at the end of the day. But the guy has pretty much milked a ton of money. I think it is the definition of the worse thing that can happen when you hand out a big contract. If Rose got hurt and physically was never the same, fine, I understand. If Rose busted his but but just sucked, fine. Instead, we got a guy, who yes, got hurt, but kind of quit on everything post injury and who never was able to make the true mental adjustment to recover and largely is so meh over basketball. It is so evident in his play / lack of effort you would consistently see post-injury (on the court). I even wonder how true those "workout" stories were of him during his recovery (1st recovery I fully believe...but that 2nd one and he was done).

Man, I was looking back at the FA lists and the lists are depressing for 17 (and even 18). I'm starting to rethink this find a FA. Best bet is like a Lowry or Chris Paul (unlikely).

Why are the Bulls keeping Rondo around. Just cut ties with the mistake already. I'll give it to Rondo, who has handled this much better then I expected. If what he said at his press conference yesterday is true, it is kind of daming...where is the communication. On an unrelated note, even though the Bulls lost last night, the game was pretty fun to watch. Odd lineups out there but Valentine was on fire from three. If Doug didn't have such an off night with his shot, they win that game (to be fair, Valentine was on fire...albeit most of his threes were wide open shots). The thing I like about Denzel is, he is a very smooth passer. Not very athletic though. If Rondo were willing to play off the bench, I actually think he'd be a solid fit with that unit, where you have a few shooters that Rondo could look to find. At least Rondo seemed to play aggressive, but my goodness, he is terrible defensively.
