QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) PA, have any time to go over it in the next few days? My name is the same as my SN Tonight I can play.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 08:31 AM) Put me down for the Spin Doctors fan club.... I loved "Pocket". The true test of SD fandom, is when you hear someone say "What time is it" what is the first thing that comes to your mind... Four Thir-dayyyyyy.... It's not late... I knew we were friends for a reason...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 08:36 AM) PA is a stalker in his freetime. Jealous, because I stopped stalking you, huh? QUOTE(philadelphia sox fan @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) Wow. How did you figure that out? I went there. They don't call me PA because I'm a grandpa.... I'm from Texas, but known to roam the Lehigh Valley constantly.

QUOTE(bmags @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) tight, now i really know what 7/4 means 5/4 is a b****in' time sig to play in. Radiohead has some songs like that.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) dude, you're being delusional. they don't want to get rid of earmarks. they just say that stuff and then sign legislation with tons of pork in it. he said "try"

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) This is all fine and well but I know what's going to happen. The organizers are going to spend all this time getting the whole thing together. Then when it comes time to actually vote, Cyndi Lauper is just going to PM everybody on the board to tell them to vote for her and she'll win and it will just make a big joke out of the whole thing and pizz everybody off. end of contest, FlasoxxJim is crowned king

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) dude, wtf i can't believe i voted for you HAHA... exactly. wait, you seriously don't like that album? Jimmy Olson's Blues is one of my favorite guilty pleasure songs. QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) Europe's "The Final Countdown" anyone see the movie "the Final Countdown"? loved it.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) Would the genre "winners" ultimately face the other genre winners? And when you say aquire the song, you mean so us users can actually listen to it? we'll have "best of genre winners" and then best female singer. or we can just try to come up with a top 10. There's nothing set in stone yet. everyone should vote based on have listened to the song. so...no listen, no vote.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) Marquette. Theo 1. Required core course. I honestly don't know how much I learned this semester. My professor is a real bright guy, but he's Russian and carries a real deep accent, and sometimes his writing on the board is hard to decipher. That being said, he's quite funny, he pokes fun at his heritage all the time, always (jokingly) comparing himself to the 'bad guys' in the James Bond films. That said, I got a 100% on the mid-term exam despite the fact that I was really worried about it. I'll gladly take repeated results on this next one. cool, thanks for the info. good luck.

I'd be worried if the baby did... that's the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) Halfway home, fellas. One tomorrow and then my theology exam on Friday at 1:00. And then it's back to the comforts of the Chicago Where do you go to school and what are you studying? I'm always interested when people mention theology.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) where would you put Amy Grant and Koko Taylor? Etta James? Bessie Smith? Janis Joplin? hence the "i'll need help"

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) The law prevents employers (and consumers) from being notified if the social is being used in multiple places. I am trying to figure out who this benefits besides the identity thief. If the employee provided the legally required documents, and they weren't cut out of a cracker jack box, I have a hard time accessing a $65,000,000 fine. Or $65,000 for that matter. There are a lot of issues here and no easy solutions, but one step is the IRS and Social Security to start monitoring these things and catching them before ten years has gone by. (article 2) When Johnny comes marching home! So Tex, I guess you're cool with one of these illegals using your SS# to get a meat packing job?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) Are you trying to limit the genre? Comparing anything from the Pretenders with Karen Carpenter or Lena Horn (BTW you are including Koko Taylor aren't you?) just seems wrong. they'll be 4 brackets of 8.... I'll need help with genres but I imagine that Pop, Rock, Folk/Country would amongst the 4. thoughts?

First of all, that he recovers... then we can talk politics

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) It this going to happen? working on it. To those wishing to participate: You will be responsible for acquiring all 32 songs in order to accurately judge.... we prefer legal means, but we're not judging that part of the competition.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) Come on Tex. 40% of the workforce?! I could see if it was a few people but something really stinks about that place and it aint the carcasses laying around outside the freezer. that's racist, nuke

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) Again, what should Swift have done to avoid this? What is your company doing to make certain they don't fall victim? We ask for social security cards and driver's license or passport. If someone is proven to be using forged documents, should the employer be fined? This point can be asked about resumes in general. How do potential employers verify information on prospective employees? There are various programs that potential employers could use, one like "Lexis-Nexus" gives a score based on the information in national databases matched with information provided, i.e. ss#, address, license, and name. This could be costly to small businesses (although outsourcing at low prices I'm sure would be viable and the fewer employees the fewer queries needed) but larger 9 billion dollar companies should have to implement such things. It is unforgivable the level of violation Swift had reached with 40% illegals. Ironically, THIS is how the government knows where to show up when you're car is damaged in a police chase (see other thread)

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) So, a couple other interesting notes on these raids...first, the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UCFW) seems pretty unhappy about them, because the raids may have also scooped up some actually legal workers who were members of that union. The Salt Lake Tribune also has an interesting story on a couple of the families involved in the raid, with the interesting allegation that the DHS basically organized the raid and which people it targeted based on the appearance of the people...if you had a lighter skin tone, you went back to work. I had a great point to make.... and was all set to use google images... I dare anyone to type "white guy" into google images.... let me know how that goes for you
