QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 08:54 AM) Yeah if you ignore the whole Mickey Mouse part, you know, which was the point of this entire thread. Keep trying though. Just so I don't seem like a Christian-defender here, I'm agnostic. They may come at it from different sides, but the end result is the same, many fundamental Christians take issue with fantasy worlds. Harry Potter, for example, glorifies Satan with his witchcraft and sorcery. Same with Cinderella. I do not share those views, I know my children can differentiate Cinderella and Harry Potter from Jesus. And just so I don't seem like a Christian attacker, I'm one of the religious whack jobs around here (or so I am told). I guess this is a good spot as many to mention this. I helped build a Chapel this weekend. Many years ago, the Chapel at our Scout camp was destroyed by Hurricane Beulah. Finally, almost 40 years later we build the replacement. The roof structure had been completed months ago, but the project stalled while funds were raised to build seats. This past weekend we installed the bench seats, enough for about 100 people to sit. The alter area is a concrete slab from the old Chapel, we spread caliche in the seating area. The informal dedication was very nice. Scouting does not recognize one religion over any others, just that you believe in a higher power, and I always appreciate the oneness of our services. I am working on a nice donation to complete the project. It is still a little sterile, without any adornments. At least as an agnostic you are defending Christian values. Are you a still searching agnostic, or have you made up your mind? It always seemed to me that an agnostic is someone who has left an opening for God, he just needs to be shown. Perhaps finding a suitable Church that you are comfortable would allow that to happen.

Why Hurricane Season is Like Christmas Number 10: Decorating the house (with plywood). Number 9: Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season. Number 8: Last minute shopping in crowded stores. Number 7: Regular TV shows pre-empted for 'Specials'. Number 6: Family coming to stay with you. Number 5: Family and friends from out of state calling you. Number 4: Buying food you don't normally buy . . . and in large quantities. Number 3: Days off from work. Number 2: Candles. And the Number 1 reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas: At some point you're probably going to have a tree in your house . . .

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 07:30 AM) I noticed a lot of crazy posts from Steve came right around that same time a couple days ago, at 1:30 am. I think he was drunk posting. got it. I was reading that and wondering if he had an unnatural attachment to the comedian's name.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 08:27 AM) Well, one thing this final six weeks has done has opened up the possibility of trading Konerko again...especially if we make it into the playoffs and he rakes again, like in 2005. Yep, why the hell would the Sox want a guy like that on the roster when his value would be so high.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) Marte? The second half of the 05 season made me lose any liking I ever had for him. What did he do to make you stop liking him?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Oscar Gamble was so likeable. I wonder if I remembered to put him on my list. That zero of the Southside Hit Men made the list surprised me.

It just feels like he's running out the string and will be traded.

I am really feeling good about this series. It seems both teams may have been distracted the past two weeks, kind of knowing this would be the when and where of the season. I don't see a sweep for either team, witha split in games one and two the third game will be crucial.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) F*** you for spelling it "Scienfeld" and this s*** was news a month ago when I published it on my blog. Am I missing a joke here?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) Do Muslim clerics really sit around and think about such petty things as this? Kind of ironic that they share that viewpoint with Christians. Link and plenty more.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 05:43 PM) Not to be too picky here because I think most of us will think the season is over if we get swept by Minnesota but wouldn't the magic number for them be 4 and not 3? I'm looking at the records right now. Chicago 86-69 Minnesota 84-72 Our magic number is 5. But I think there's right now is 10. 163-84 (Minnesota wins)=79 79-69 (Chicago loses)=10 With my math the magic number would be 4. We get to make up the Detroit game if we're 1/2 game ahead or behind right? If it is totally cancelled, which I don't think is possible, then the magic number for them would be 3. I believe you are correct. The error was mine

I have a unique perspective, my University is in an area where TFA places teachers. I know the Districts and schools where they are working, and have met some of the teachers. You will be working in districts were "normal" families are few and far between. It likely would be the most difficult experience of a teaching career. On the plus side, many of the teachers are able to get certification at the end of two years. So if you decided late in your undergrad vcareer to give teaching a chance, it is another path to certification. There are regional training sites for an intensive student teach experience and off you go.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) Well, now its 5!!! Am I correct Win 3 in Minny - They are done Win 2 in Minny Magic Number 1 Win 1 in Minny Magic Number 3 Win None and Their Magic Number is 3?

Sliding into Minnesota 2.5 games up, If I am doing my math correctly 3 wins clinches the division 2 wins - Magic Number 1 1 Win - Magic number 3 0 Win - Twins Magic Number 3

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 04:08 PM) Poor example, Kerouac is clearly not the greatest American writer. Clearly not? Hmm, I wouldn't go that far. I'd go probably not, no great poems, no truly great short stories, he only redefined novels. FWIW and since YAS coughed up his 1. Carlton Fisk 2. Harold Baines 3. Wilbur Wood 4. Mark Buerhle 5.
