Gee, my most popular thread start of the month is SuperSteve's post count. Must be the pennant race.

Troubleshooting anything involves isolating possibilities. Borrow a monitor you know works fine and hook it up to the system. If that monitor works fine, you solved the problem. If it doesn't, check the cable. Again take a known to be good cable and see what happens. Finally you may need to swap out video cards. All this is after you have shut down the system and re-booted. Remember, fixing anything try the known to be good approach. Also, unplug every non essential component including the mouse and speakers, modem, printer, etc while performing the tests. Then readd them one at a time.

I thought that NFL contracts are not guaranteed.

Yes, a case certainly could be made. I would also mention FlaSoxxJim, QueenPrawn, Abo, SuperSteve and a few others. When selecting 2 having twenty to choose from didn't seem like a good idea. There was also some discussion on current vs. historical. We tried and balanced keeping it meaningful with only electing two. We could have added twelve, twenty, or even forty and all would be deserving. In the end the decision was mine. I believe everyone on the list is deserving. I also believe I could make another list of ten and they would also be deserving. BTW, post count was not a deciding factor. Quality posts were.

Please visit the contest forum to vote in the SoxTalk Hall of Fame.

Please see the contest board for Hall of Fame balloting information.

The Soxtalk Hall of Fame will be opening soon and the loyal members of this great community will decide the first inductees. Each year, at the end of the Sox season, two members will be added to the Hall of Fame. There will be a special forum, with sections on history, the Soxtalk Annual Awards, and other cool stuff. After carefull consideration and discussion it was decided that the founders of Soxtalk deserved a special area, reserved for them. The first inductees, known as the Founders Club are: Chisoxfn Heads22 Molto Mr. Showtime MurcieOne Some newer and not so new posters may not recognize some of these names, you will after the Hall Opens. I am starting two polls. The votes will be added together to determine the winner. It is the overall total of both polls. Obviously we would prefer you vote for two but have no way of knowing if you decide to place both votes for one candidate.

At three bucks a gallon, I see some cars around here, whose value doubles after a fill up. Why is it every time we "help" some middle east country we take it in the wallet? I wish Crede would raise in value as much as Crude. The tree hugger in me isn't so upset with $3 gas if people will stop driving as much. BTW, I know we diuscussed this before, are most gas taxes a percentage or $.X per gallon? Remember the tax bite on gas is huge.

I couldn't resist. I guess Jay likes long goodbyes

Actually the big deal was David Letterman was suppose to take over and they went with Jay Leno.

No, and I don't have a problem with changing your views over the years. However, that is perhaps the greatest political strategy ever unleashed. They will be studying the flip flop label to our great grandchildren. It was brilliant. I think Bush has done an excellent job with our economy. I disagree with the huge deficits, I think we could have stopped a major recession and not saddled ourselves with another trillion in debt. I also approved of his initiative to fund faith based public service projects. Like IU said debate whether or not cutting the tax cut to pay for the war was a good idea, but don't slander the Dems who voted against how we were to pay for the vests, not the vests themselves.

Why can't we have green headlines? Yahoo! News Link More at link. Anyone else hungry like a wolf?

And doesn't county line road bottom out at a curve at some point? Maybe it's not the same one I'm thinking but one year the Midnight Run for the orphanage in Des Plaines went down that way and we had a mini traffic jam with 12,000 motorcycles trying to get around the corner.

Well at least we have the Blackhawks

Ozzie will know how to handle him I'm wth you. Anyone with his numbers that can get tossed off a team in the final week of the season trying to get into the playoffs, isn't anyone I'd want on my roster.

By the way the bullet proof vests are a prime example. The Democrates wanted to actually pay for the vests, instead of borrowing money. They wanted to reduce the tax cuts to pay for the vests. What an amazing concept, trying to balance the budget instead of going further into debt. Once the GOP embraced debt as a campaign tool, they lost their cornerstone. So if you want to criticize the Dems and Kerry about vests, at least have all the facts. The Dems offered a bill that would have supplied the same number of vests, only they would have been paid for with cuts in the tax cuts. Bush felt a deficit was necessary to keep the economy from slumping. I believe Bush deserves kudos for his handling of the post 9/11 economy and would not argue if you said Bush's plan was better than the Dem plan to provide bullet proof vests, but to say that the Dems and Kerry voted against the vests is wrong and misleading.
