Steff, You are giving back all that hard earned vacation relaxation

And of course the US gets dragged into it

Did anyone see the footage of Veterans Stadium being imploded? Amazing how they culd drop is with such percission. It was like watching dominoes fall. Link Link

If a country wishes to have the benefit of a civilized code or set of laws, they also have to respect and follow those same laws. As maddening as it seems, no mater how despicable the criminal, civilized societies like to follow the law. It's the old saying: Sure we can have a fair trial. Then take him out and hang him.

Thank you for laughing, that was the spirit in which it was offered.

Arafat and the Israelis. Long story but from what I've seen, Israel4ever seems to side with the Israelis and Apu the Palestinians. I could be wrong

It seems like assassinated would be a better word. I think executed implies a trial and judgement.

I would have prefered they captured him and made him stand trial. I believe it is important to set the example. I do not think he helps the cause to create a martyr for the other side. I think it would be far better to show the world restraint and how civilized a society is. I like standing on higher moral ground. Maybe that is why the US Constitution forbids the assasination of foreign leaders.

She's on the left we think. Old picture. Warning adult content if you follow the linky If it isn't her, she has a twin. The angle is a bit off and we never saw this side of her.

we had the wave here before, it got old fast.

X-box Live is the best of the on-line Sony has the best graphics and sports games and GameCube has some great franchise stuff. I have all three sitting here as my game developer in training son builds his collection.

If you are a paid prognosticator you cannot pick the favorite. You have to go to the 4th or 5th best teams and grab someone from there. You cannot go to far out and pick a real dark horse candidate. The Cubs are a perfect guess. If they fail, there are some ready made excuses, it was injuries, blowing up the ball didn't work, etc.

I just heard from a friend who visits towview.com and in their amateur section saw what is almost undoubtably an old classmates ex-wife. He was wondering if he should call him and share the laugh. I don't think it is a good idea, except maybe he posted it. They have been divorced about 5 years and the divorce was less than amicable.

So laws will not work with Palestinian terrorists?!

I figured I was the only one that didn't understand the whole rule 5 thing. I'm thinking it is giving Grilli an extra edge in his fight to be #5. Or maybe it is giving him a disadvantage. Could the Sox already be talking with the Marlins to see what they will lose if they pick him?

Don't hate google for its agression in the search engine wars. Remember the good old days when everybody Yahoood?

So this could get interesting. OK we want him on the 25 man and cannot agree to a compensation pick, does it go to arbitration? This is fascinating. Thank you for being the resident expert.

acoustic metal? Isn't that an oxy-moron?

But it only worked for 1. They were at each other's throats the other seasons. Some would blame the lack of a 2nd Championship on the infighting.

Next to catchers, I would think DH would have the best handle on strategy. Isn't it always the bench warmers that really study the game and make the better coaches and managers?

It is a tough balance that values based groups have to walk. With almost 3 million members, there isn't a single value that is shared by all. Birth control, I am certain, is one. I also doubt the program was directed at 7 year olds. More than likely it was a Studio 2B program aimed at older Girl Scouts. I have issues with several Boy Scout membership requirements, but on balance have not seen a better program. It is difficult to reconcile my personal beliefs on those issues with the organizations teachings. I've also seen the reality of the situation. Girl Scouts USA is also different than the Boy Scouts in that GSUSA owns all of their local units. Boy Scouts "franchise" a program to Churches, schools, and other non profit groups.
