My sources tell me VJackson is VERY close to a deal with the Cubs

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Last Monday I had a job interview for a technology coordinator position at a local school district. Got a call today, I have a second interview on Wednesday... this time with the district's CTO. This has to be a VERY good sign. Didnt get that job. However, they have another position that will be open in the next week or so and I was told ("under the table") that I will be offered that position, it's just a matter of dealing with a complicated HR department. Nice pay increase. I am excited about this. It'll be hard to leave where I am now, but it's something I have to do. The only sticking point is that I already have a 2 week vacation booked and mostly paid for coming up in May. So, I am hoping they either let me start after I get back or are flexible to let me go having just started a new position 2-3 weeks prior to em leaving on vacation.

I am not doing it for the SoxTalk challenge, but I am going to create a "coin flip" bracket. I'll flip a coin for each match-up. Heads-the higher seed advances; tail-the lower seed advance. Well, this didnt turn out well...

Honest question, why doesnt Yahoo let you pick the play-in games? Are they technically not part of the tournament?

Excellent move by the Rams. They'll be stocked when they finally move back to LA.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 01:29 PM) So if Manning goes to Denver, does that mean that he will ride the pine behind Tebow? Yes. History has already taught us to never forsake the Savior.

I am married. So, I will assume SHE is the one not working because if I get to "walk away" and she has to work, she's going to be royally pissed. Here's my walk through of the thought process. $140,000 to pay off debt (car, college, house). At this point, we could almost completely live off my salary. $50,000 to invest into a company we want to start. $240,000 ($2000/month for 10 years) So, about $450,000 would get us covered for at least the next 10 years where we could live in the same life style as we do today.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) It's going back 7 and 12 years, respectively, but Disney had other two solid non-Pixar animated offerings in Chicken Little and Emperor's New Groove. Oh no doubt. I carefully worded my sentence to say they've had some great grossing movies, but nothing to call a franchise or something to hang a hat on.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) God, I wish I could block texts on my iPhone from certain numbers. My overly annoying sister-in-law is a CHRONIC text mass forwarder. It's like mass e-mail forwarding, but with text messages. Dumb little pictures or quotes.

blah. Just contract the As and Rays or Royals.

Preface: I am a huge Disney fan I think John Carter is Disney's latest attempt to create a new movie franchise. In recent years, they've really struggled to have a franchise that isnt Pixar or Pirates. In non-pixar animation, with the exception of Tangled and The Princess and the Frog, they've had a lot of nothing. They've had some high grossing movies, but nothing they can hang a hat on. In live action, Tron didnt do as well as I think they had hoped. (I know there was an attraction in the works for Disney World if the movie was a hit) That could have been something. The Muppets has some potential, but I think it's limited. They own Marvel, but dont have the rights to use it int a theme park east of the mississippi. Beyond that, there's not a lot that strikes me as "THATS their next big franchise"

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 09:54 AM) Anybody go thru phases like this... My little cousin was watching one of those live action shows on Disney and I have to admit, some are kinda funny. Everytime Im flipping around and see one on Disney or Nick, I find myself watching them. I like iCarly and Good Luck, Charlie. Don't judge me. My wife thinks I have a slight addiction to "Phineas and Ferb" and "The Penguins of Madagascar"

Few things make me happer than NOT seeing "Egyptian Minister of State for Antiquities" and "Zahi Hawass" in the same sentence.

Holy Crap! Obama hugged a black man!

QUOTE (juddling @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) I'm really enjoying Alcatraz. Enjoy it while you can. It's quickly headed toward cancelation. It's ratings are barely above where FlashForward and V when they got canceled. And it's actually BELOW where Jericho and Terra Nova where when they got canned.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 07:55 AM) So the Pacers piss off Rose with their celebration, he goes nuts. The Bucks piss off Rose by calling him average, he smashed the game winning shot in their stars face. Can we get LeBron to talk about Rose's momma? Based on LBJ's history, do you want to mention him and another players mom in the same sentence?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 07:49 AM) So, I love going to visit my wife's family because it gives me a glimpse of what the "hard right" really thinks. Apparently, Obama and "they" (the left?) wil eventually FORCE all women onto birth control and they want us to "be just like china" and we'll only be allowed to have 2 children... a boy and a girl.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 09:43 AM) I can't believe I am going to defend this, but that email is worthless. It is pure speculation. Many believe that Stratfor is the "private" arm of the CIA. They were once called "The Shadow CIA".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) Bump. Wikileaks/Anonymous hacked emails from intelligence company "Stratfor" suggest that up to a dozen Pakistani/ISI officers probably knew Bin Laden's location. Leaked emails show Stratfor official’s doubts about disposal of Bin Laden’s body
