QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 01:27 PM) A question for the Soxtalk enviornmental wing... Do they make the energy effecient lightbulbs in 3 way form (for the 50-100-150 lamps), and do they make them in a smaller form for things like ceiling fans? They definitely do for ceiling fans (as ours burn out we're replacing them with the "new" ones)... but I don't know about the three way bulbs. QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 01:33 PM) Menards has a huge light bulb variety. I've bought 3 ways there but only for table lamps. I didn't even know ceiling fans were made with 3 way options. I don't think he meant three way bulbs for ceiling fans...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) There is the crazy thing... The British finally get rid of Blair, and it is a perfect moment for Islam to step in and work to make the right wing people look bad, but trying to work with the new PM. Instead they instantly put the pressure on Brown by all of these potential attacks. What sense does that make? It puts the pressure on Brown to keep after the Islamists. These people don't give a s*** who is in power, be it Blair or Brown in Britian, or Bush or either Clinton in the US, and that is what people in this country don't get. *sniff, sniff* Let's *sniff, sniff* nego - *sniff, sniff* negotiate with these *sniff, sniff* poor, misunderstood people *sniff, sniff*. Please. It's our way of life, not "AMERICA" or "BRITIAN" or anything else.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) Of course. But they are here because of demand, as a country, it is in our best interest to make certain that we respond in our best interest, not what is politically popular today. We'd be cutting off our nose to spite our face by just deporting 12,000,000 WORKERS and their families. The businesses will suffer and so will we. Put in a plan that fills the needs of American business and controls the number of immigrants, I'm more in favor of reducing the H1B VISA program and creating more high end jobs for Americans than trying to push low end jobs on Americans. Our education system is better than that. Too f***ing bad, re: the businesses hiring ILLEGAL workers. That's more of the problem.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 09:58 PM) Jesus...I just get home and what the f*** did I miss. AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaabsolutely NOTHING, just like I said on page three of this thread. This always was bulls***. I'm glad to know that the organization hasn't changed its stripes any.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 12:42 AM) Just post a link to peegs instead. Dude, what the hell is with you lately? If you feel like you need to have the opportunity to put in a dig every chance you get, then maybe you need to not post in a thread. I like you a lot around here, but you're just pushing things a lot lately. Go easy, or easy go, however you want to look at it.

Yea, I'm thinking a happy medium... say, a refurbished "good" camera for $500.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 09:50 PM) Did you see the new tits that Jodie Sweetin bought with her meth money? Where's the proof? What show did she play on again? Was she another "Full House" girl? QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) i didnt mean stir up a ichrio talk but what I was saying if we spend all money buerhle how will that effect our offseason? I mean we going bring back pods? erstad? what about uribe? the bullpen? If floyd keep up what he is doing just saying he could take buerhles place PODS!!!!!! The Etnernal White Sox. That might be where the term "White Sucks" comes from by non-Chicago people.

Ichiro will not play for the Sox. Man, there's a hell of a lot of dreaming in this thread.

Well, maybe I should say "fancy digital"... Like, the digital cameras that professional photographers use. Sort of. I guess I better research this too, while I'm researching my cell phone plans.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 06:54 PM) The HP R967 does that. That's the camera I have and I love it. It's expensive though. $300 range. Pffft... $300 is nothing compared to some that she was looking at. Aye aye aye...

Part of the craziness of this thread is by design, you know. /Carry on...

There are probably threads on this somewhere else in SLaM, but I'm too lazy to look and frankly I don't want to mess the site up by doing a search so..... I think for our anniversary, I think I'm going to get Mrs. Kap a good camera. I need one that doesn't hesitate when you click the button, it needs to take the damn picture. We've missed some darn good baby pics because our current camera takes too darn long. What's that feature called again? When you can click and then click again and it takes the pictures? Does a Canon Rebel do that? Any other suggestions? I have until next week to decide.

I seem to recall the owners locking out said players ... more then once ... for "escalating prices". Now, if they do it again, it's suicide, but then again, these athletes getting paid so much money is ridiculous. They're entertainers. It's just sick. I find it simply NUTS that a union is going to step in and deny a guy getting paid $14MM per year on average, AGAIN, making him one of the top ten pitchers in the game when it comes to per year $$ (Roger Clemens the asswipe part time screwtard aside and to think I used to somewhat respect his sorry ass). QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 06:31 PM) People thought it was premature for me to say it was going to be a bad year after Soxfest, and again after spring training... It aint exactly been a good one. Hey, that's enough about all that premature talk.

I'd love to be a member in a union that works for a racket. The antitrust exemption continues to boggle my mind when it comes to MLB.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) Get a room. I was waiting for the obligatory "get a (Mac) room".

I definitely could have gotten more then what I did on a personal level, but I took less for a better long term opportunity. Of course, I'm not making millions, either. QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 03:20 PM) Kap, we are simply talking about what is being reported. No need for you to get all snotty, crapman. OK, let's say it another way. Those people that are speculating that the deal would get held up by the MLBPA are full of crap. It won't happen, and if the dimbulb reporters and/or so called "analysts" keep saying that's a roadblock to the deal getting done, it's garbage. I realize it's fodder for soxtalk discussion, but it shouldn't be. People here are smarter then that.

The least of people's worries is the MLBPA here. Don't even worry about it, it's a non issue. The issue is whether or not both sides agree that a 4 yr. $56MM deal is going to work. All the other crap that people is posting is just that, crap.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 01:59 PM) Haha, God bless America where a Union can get mad at you for taking 14 million a year for four years Exactly. Good grief. It's not THAT far off market value - $14MM per year? It's "smaller" due to it being 4 years. If it were 6 years it would be $84MM, 7 years $98MM. That still puts him in the top 10 of pitchers, does it not? So, STFU, MLBPA.

Now see, I would rather have a keyboard... that much I know already.

If you look on page three, I said this was BS. I still think it's BS. The only difference now is I think KW has gotten a good offer to trade Buehrle and he's giving thier side one last shot. I distinctly think the ball is in their court on a 4 year deal around $55 million. JMO.

Thank goodness. And f*** you, Lindsey Grahm... and Harry Reid, and most important, Dubya... next time, listen to your constituents. The other thing is, GET RID OF THE DEMAND... in other words, PUNISH THE CRAP out of companies that are using this illegal labor. They are more the problem then the people here. If the people can't work because there's no jobs for them (i.e. people have to be LEGAL), then guess what? They'll go home, because there's nothing for them here. The problem of "rounding them up" suddenly goes away. Imagine that.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 06:20 PM) I have the Blackjack and every functionality you can ever need is on this phone. You can sync different email addresses to the phone and they will show up right on the phone, the internet is faster than I ever would have expected, and you can upgrade the memory to add music (WMP), pictures (1.3 MP), contacts, etc. Only drawback is battery life, but it comes with an extended battery, so that is good too. who makes it?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) I had my old Motorola from 1995 in a box - I threw it out... gads that thing was a chunk. Nice. I'll definitely have to try it. Syncing email is the other biggie, of course. Then you goofballs can email me every time the server goes wacky. Well I'm using the ol blackberry for this post. Not bad. It takes a little while to download the avys and all but really this is pretty cool. Now supposedly a treo is faster then the tmobile service I have with the blackberry. Really though this is not too bad.

I had my old Motorola from 1995 in a box - I threw it out... gads that thing was a chunk. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) Hi-Res. At least thats how it comes up on my treo. Nice. I'll definitely have to try it. Syncing email is the other biggie, of course. Then you goofballs can email me every time the server goes wacky.
