Manning lost this one...he let the Patzy D get into his head... Either way...Pats will still loose one this season...and it might just be to Buffalo, Baltimore or Pittsburgh...but they will loose. The ocean covers 70% of the planet.......the rest is covered by Bob Sanders.

YOu can obtain this same result from buying a couple of uncooked shrimp from the grocery store and letting them rot in the tank. It's called Cycling the tank. It's a matter of the micro-organisms feeding on the waste...then you input fish to continue to reproduce that waste. MIke

OH yeah....here's the RO/DI System

Here's the installation and some new pics. Filtration system installed. You can't see it, but I installed a "Y" adapter in the sump to tank return line. Reason for this was for me to be able to open the valve and remove water from the tank to do water changes....lets hope it works. Here's a pic of the tank with the jets installed. I need to pick up one of those dark blue backgrounds tomorrow to hide all the plumbing. The pumps are as follows: (2) Maxi-jet 1200 Pumps with mod kits to produce 1600 GPH (3200 GPH Total) (1) AquaClear 70 PowerHead (400GPH) (1) PondMaster Sump Pump (700GPH) Cheers~ Mike

IF there isn't anyone playing this...there should be. This is an excellent mod to BF2. http://www.realitymod.com/

Correct. If the file was moved, then the download area sees it as being updated. The last couple reorgs I did, I tried to start with the oldest and work my way to the newest so at least the order in which they were uploaded was the same....but there are some categories where this is not true. Mike

That is correct. 1/48th BONE.. The dimensions are about 3x3 Feet and about 10 inches tall at the tail. http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/mod/kolb1.htm It's Nice.

A Halloween Safety Public Service Announcement. As we all prepare for this Halloween season, please take a few minutes to read some simple rules to help keep everyone safe. 1. - Don't assume the telephone calls are coming from another house. 2. - When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to see if it's really dead. 3. - Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke. 4. - Don't go into the basement to check the power when the lights go out. 5. - If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's voice. 6. - When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER split up and go it alone. 7. - Don't have sex. Especially if you've noticed a few of your friends are missing! 8. - As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open a portal to Hell. 9. - Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well. 10. - If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it's just the cat, don't stand there sighing with relief, GET THE f*** OUT! 11. - If appliances start operating by themselves, don't check for short circuits; JUST GET THE f*** OUT! 12. - Do not take ANYTHING from the dead. 13. - If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around. 14. - Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing. 15. - If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely ambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you. 16. - If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them immediately. 17. - Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine. 18. - If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange because you thought you had a full tank of gas, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and will most likely be eaten. 19. - Beware of strangers bearing strange tools. For example: chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased companions. 20. - If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws. This also applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house.

I have a big scale B-1 that I may be interested in selling. It's way too much for me at the moment, and although I'd love to complete it, I dont' think I'd do it justice and I'd rather start out small and rebuild my skills. I'm also pretty deep into this saltwater aquarium hobby, and it's taking alot of my time and pocketbook. I don't even have any glue, paint, brushes, etc...etc... to start. If your interested, let me know. Mike

I got this from a friend and thought I would share. Enjoy. It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy. Here are the Stella's for the past year: 7TH PLACE: Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son. 6TH PLACE: Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps. Go ahead, grab your head scratcher. 5TH PLACE: Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more... 4TH PLACE: Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun. Grrrrr ... Scratch, scratch. 3RD PLACE: Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people being responsible for their own actions? Scratch, scratch, scratch. Hang in there; there are only two more Stella¢s to go... 2ND PLACE: Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure. 1ST PLACE: (May I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos please) This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just incase Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home. Are we, as a society, getting more stupid...?

Yeah...I'm sure someone has tried to sue a gun manufacture because the gun they used to commit suicide malfunctioned.

There can be only one. TOOL but I also listen to the following: Evanescence, Perfect Circle, Iron Maiden, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Megadeth, Fates Warning, Queensryche, Disturbed, ACDC, 3 Doors Down, Ozzy, Rush

http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=19006&type=wmv I just hope the MP leans towards sim rather then arcade like other titles.

I could tell ya...but I'd have to kill ya..... It's in the NDA.

LOL....I can't seen any means to retract the main gear, but I see a Nose gear door...LMAO...WHY?

I like the fact that the majority of the Xbox 360 is backwards compatible to the older XBox, however, I don't like the fact that you MUST HAVE Xbox Live to download a patch for it. Sucks. Mike

I didn't mean "Watch them Online", what I meant is that you should eventually be able to DOWNLOAD the entire movie onto a HD and watch it in true HD 1080P or I format.

The war is not a war IMHO, although I would like to see a single format. Besides, you can buy a player that play both... I would never buy a CONSOLE Gaming machine to be the center peice of my HDTV Movie experience. I have a 65" Mitsubishi HDTV with a progressive Toshibla DVD players and the quality of image is superb. I don't think DVD is going to go away for a long time, and I honestly believe that there will be another better format in the future that will either further divide the format war or HOPEFULLY bring it back together to a single format. Honestly, I think that format is going to be DOWNLOAD. You will eventually just download HD Movies to a digital drive. Netflix.com allows you to do that right now with normal DVD movies, and as download speeds improve it seems to me the next step in the evolution and that is to make the media smaller and cut out the packaging cost.
