When dues the world series move to a warm weather or dome site?

Every team but the White Sox

The struggle was had was some of the changes required our suppliers to make changed in how they serviced us. Some could not make the change and we switched to ones that claimed they could. Our purchasing department was in chaos for a year. Anytime you swap a long term supplier for someone new, there will be glitches.

I think I am going to like this. I would also like to see the regular season schedule be cut back.

I posted a review in the book thread. I'm intrigued by the notion that he arguably did more in charity for his country than the corrupt government did. Now obviously he also caused the death of many people, but he built schools, hospitals, etc.

I'm guessing another season like this, or worse, and he is out of baseball.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 09:57 AM) Wait, the guy had three trillion dollars? Sorry, I was in a rush. First it is Pablo and he was worth three billion, not certain how much US currency actually passed through his hands. He had warehouses full of US currency. He spent $30,000 a year on rubber bands to hold the $100 bills together. There were issues with getting it into banks. I ordered the book written by his brother who was his accountant.

I was reading a book review about Carlos Escobar and it talked about the millions and millions of dollars he had stored in a warehouse and how rats hade eaten about 10% of his money. Which if estimates are correct that would have been close to three hundred million dollars. How does large quantities of U.S. greenbacks landing aboard, outside of banks, some being lost, affect our economy here?

I was just at a Boy Scout meeting and we were laughing at all the stuff we have done since joining and the ability to s*** in the woods came up. I thought it would make a nice companion to pissing in sinks. http://www.lnt.org/programs/principles.php

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) That would make you happy? Just slightly over an improvement in average of 100 points, eh? That's all you need? Nicely played sir. BTW, he is almost a cinch for come back player of the year.

Yank the battery out and then put it all in a bag of rice. Running a sea base for boy scouts I have tried every method and that is the most reliable. Taking the battery out is something some people skip, but you don't want any current anywhere near the phone.

Young adult literature has become more about the subject matter than the quality of the writing. It has been a challenge for me as an 8th grade teacher. I've had to read a lot of the Hunger Games to my lower achieving students and unpacked chunks of the text. My pre-Ap classes breezed through it with only some minor issues which as a class they were able to figure out. Turn offs for adults might be the whishy washy relationship between the two main characters. She seems to be remaining clueless about the boy's feeling while being part MacGyver part Chuck Norris everywhere else. The setting is in the future yet there are some barbaric tendencies seem more ancient. It is a fast, easy read. I would say it is much more beach-n-beer than leather chair-n-brandy

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) I'd be fine with that. I'm all for internalizing externalities, and giving people a truer picture of the costs of their choices. Damn, I'm not certain what you just wrote, but dem sho was pertty words.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 12:05 PM) If the Sox are out of it early, he'll hit .265/40/120. If the Sox are in it all year, he'll hit .198/22/76 I wish I could say it wasn't contingent on whether his team is competing for a division. IMHO they cannot be "in it" with those kind of numbers from Dunn. If the Sox are to have a chance, he'll hit .265/40/120. If .198/22/76, they are out of it. I wish I could see it anyway. I don't believe being out of it last year helped or hurt him.

The government could require nutritional information and diet information on all packages.

I assume you tried the usual stuff pad the area wrap the area ice afterwards stretch well before and afterwards check your shoes for any defects walk across a smooth, dry, towel with wet feet and see if you see any differences

Currently reading Grapes of Wrath. I am bouncing around classics for a while trying to fill in holes in my education. I really wanted to start Blood Meridian, but it has not arrived yet.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 11:42 AM) I started the first "Hunger Games" and couldn't put it down. I don't know why I resisted so long. I was very impressed how the author could create a sympathetic character who murdered people.

This weekend I was heading to Virginia's Day Salon (not as nice as it sounds) to get a haircut. I always get Billy Joel's "Good Die Young" stuck in my brain. "But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information . . . " I started laughing when we were there and I heard it on their radio.

Nanny Staters. Interesting point. Would the U.S. be better or worse off if societal norms pushed people towards a healthier diet and exercise or had more of a we don't care what you do attitude? Let's suppose that a healthier workforce helps the U.S. to better compete in economic and social wars. Is it the role of the government then to promote what is in the country's best interest?

If only they printed standings in the business section of the newspaper.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 04:44 PM) Too much methamphetamine in the batter. I personally love Whataburger so much that i plan trips to texas for it. My daughter is coming here for spring break and has three or four Whataburger trips planned.

Based on a too small sample size I am liking Baylor. Of course I will be cheering for UT loudest.
