I went back to Folgers a few months back after realizing I became so accustomed to the custom blend from a local coffee shop, it wasn't any better then when I was accustomed to Folgers, and Folgers was 80% cheaper. Currently it's Folger's French Roast.

As long as Buerhle isn't pitching there should be plenty of game to watch.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 23, 2008 -> 06:04 AM) At any amount, I was just saying that the economics of OPEC cutting production because someone else comes into the game don't seem to make much sense. They'd just be voluntarily giving up some of the market. They have a finite amount of oil in the ground and will eventually sell all they pump. Market share is not an issue, plus they work in agreement with other OPEC nations to determine who pumps how much. In other words, if you had 100 diamonds available to sell, would you flood the market, driving down prices and sell all 100 to gain market share? Or get together with other diamond sellers and tightly control who sells when to maximize the profits on those 100 diamonds?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 22, 2008 -> 10:25 PM) Got the email, had sent you a reply. replied again, thanks. Balta, good points. The answer always seems to come back alternatives. And that is the one beneft to higher prices, we're finally willing to make changes.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 22, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) I think somewhere in there is the real amount, between his .01 cent and .62 cents. So which is it, a million barrels a day saves a penny or .62 cents? Even factoring in initial costs, it can't eat up all the difference. So which number is he exagerating? If it costs $150 for the ANWR oil, it would be worse. I have never seen an estimate that had ANWR oil for less. It was always about reducing the dependency on foreign oil, but at an economic and environmental cost. BTW-- Landshark tonight, I think it must be a Budweiser product ~~ and~~ I sent an email to your work.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 22, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) Do you realize that you're now 10,000 ahead of the 2nd ranked guy now? Talk about no life... Whoa! Who the hell is this Fathom guy and how did he pass me?? And Balta will pass me this summer while I'm lounging on the beach. I remember when 30,000 posts meant something

I didn't see where they accounted for the higher cost of drilling and transporting ANWR oil. It's all about volume and infrastructure. Pumping any additional product, if the cost of that oil is 1.5X the other stuff would not reduce the cost.

Some people see a contradiction in that the mother killing the fetus is ok but if someone else causes the fetus' death, they are charged with a crime. For simplicity sake, it seems to help by viewing the crime as taking away the mother's choice, not specifically killing the fetus.

Alpha, I just sent an email to your work. Basically in English I need Registered Texas Youth Camp Please No Trespassing Info: (956) 423-0250 I may have the Spanish later this evening.

I'm a bit nostalgic, my very first thread to get locked was "Spam Here". This is basically the game thread without arguing

Pro-choice means the woman has the ultimate choice and no one, not the state or a murderer, can take that choice away from here. I do not see a conflict between those two concepts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Actually, the $31 million in debt was a mistake, it's actually around $21 million. I think it was an LA Times missprint if I recall correctly, but it's so unimportant I'm not going to bother to look. I'm wondering whose IOUs are worse, the ones that come with debt or the ones that come attached to donations

The best one I heard of was a minor league stadium announcer who made this call in the bottom of the twelve as a HR was re-tying the game "Oh f***! We're going to be here all f***ing night . . . oh s***, is the mic on? Hello??

Again, these are some great athletes with ties to Chicago. Just some I passed over in favor of "lifers".

And let's look at what the state did: There identified a safety problem when the crew chief could not communicate with the firefighters. The state changed their bid requirements to require that the Crew Chiefs speak the same language(s) as the firefighters. What happened after that was left up to the private companies that bid on those contracts.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 22, 2008 -> 01:07 PM) I know you have too many posts to remember them all, and with all the replies, the amount gets staggering, but I didn't say that. It would take a federal law to keep non English speakers out of the workforce. You are advocating more restrictions on who you could, and could not hire. Down here there are so many bilingual people, we are never short someone to interpret. Retail stores would be killing themselves if they did not have Spanish speaking clerks. Our best buyers are Mexican Nationals. There are so many jobs out there where it just does not matter if you can even speak. Again, if a company wants to bid on that contract then one of the requirements is that the crew chief be able to communicate with everyone in his crew. That does not say, fire supervisors who do not speak Spanish. The state is leaving it up to the private companies who bid on these contracts on how to meet that requirement. It would seem that a company could elect to not hire firefighters who only speak Spanish if they do not have Spanish speaking supervisors. But the report said there is an urgent need for firefighters because fires were burning.
