QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 09:33 AM) I think if you make a pass call there, a fade to chris matthews makes more sense. There's a reason fades are popular goal line calls, they aren't crazy successful but very rarely do they get a turnover. But a slant over the middle when it's so crowded just is that dangerous. a fade, a play action roll out, anything but a slant over the middle from the 1 to a WR who isn't exactly that good.

Vaccinations
On the other hand, it does seem like its becoming more politicized. Obama goes on TV and tells people to get their kids vaccinated, Chris Christie responds with a call for "balance."

Vaccinations
It seems to cut across the political spectrum. You've got everything from anti-gmo, everything-organic holistic herbal remedies in tune with nature Whole Foods crowd to the "f*** you, I got mine, I don't owe society nothin'" types to the "fluoridation is a communist plot!" Birch conspiracy theory types. Plus a lot of generally apolitical and otherwise well-meaning people who have been duped by frauds into believing vaccines cause autism etc.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 07:50 AM) Has something happened in the last year or so that has made this a topic of conversation? Don't remember it ever being controversial or seeing so many anti-vaccine folks before. Over the last decade or so, more and more people have been refusing to vaccinate their children. This is breaking 'heard immunity' and is leading to outbreaks of diseases like measles. The latest incident was an outbreak in Disney. NOVA had an episode last fall on it: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/vaccines...ling-shots.html

Snowmageddon 2015
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 07:55 AM) Haven't seen anything official, but we are certainly over a foot here in Northbrook. I'd guess 14-16" in the end, but hard to say for sure with the drifts. Older kid's school closed, younger kid's actually stayed open. Office open (because the markets are open) but I'm working from home, staying with the older one. 19.1" at O'hare is what I heard on WXRT this morning, making it the 5th biggest snow storm in Chicago history.

The OC throwing the WR under the bus multiple times was pretty awful. That and his nonsensical explanations about wanting to take time off the clock and play for 3rd/4th down, so he called a quick inside pass on the goal line.

Apartment/Condo/House Thread
Ours was a short sale, giant pain in the ass mostly because of the other realtor. You do get a brand loyalty with the cordless tools just because it's cheaper to buy bare tools, so you only get one or two batteries and then the rest bare. I've had good luck with my Makita stuff, and dewalt is always good.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) Ha, in the same boat. Come on white out conditions! Although I'm already getting tired of shoveling. Round 1 was about 7:30 this morning. Round 2 about 10:30. I'm kind over it. Having a neighbor with an industrial snow blower who looks for any excuse to use it is great. He did half the block.

Vaccinations
QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 11:12 PM) I'm not saying it didn't happen. I just though it was funny. The whole pseudo-science and fake vaccination combination was funny. IIRC the vaccines were at least legitimate vaccines, but it only legitimized the fears that they're just a foreign plot.

Undocumented immigrants have nothing to do with a bunch of upper class mainly white people not vaccinating their children over a bunch of garbage pseudo-science.

On that note, the cia using a vaccination program in Pakistan to gather DNA info sure as f*** didn't help dispel those fears.
