    I definitely remember this. It was very windy as well. I have this picture in my mind of my Dad driving me to my bowling league down Hwy 100 (I can't believe he did this...very unlike him) in blowing snow blizzard type conditions. I'm pretty sure each weekend during that January had some sort of weather event. I think there was another weekend during that January that involved a major snow storm.

    Nevermind...came up with another solution that worked.

    Actually the totals on that map were about 33% greater last night. When I looked at that same map last night it stated that Waukesha would get 9.1 inches. Also, stated that it would start at 6 or 7pm. Now it's saying 10 or 11pm. Not that I'm a "weather expert" but when I look at the current radar it looks like it's going to briefly clip us tonight and then stop and then maybe we will get another round in the morning.

    Complete shot in the dark, but if anyone has a Super Nintendo RF Converter that they are not using I'd be interested in talking to you about it.

    Ditto!! Then on top of that having it take an extra hour to get into work. I hate snow, but if it has to snow, I prefer weekends.

    I celebrate the man's entire collection

    Didn't they also do this last year...at least for some games?

    This is kind of the way I break out Christmas shows as well. Some of the one that I always watched as a kid, I'll still watch, not necessarily because of quality but more for melancholy reasons. "Year without a Santa Claus" is a classic to me mainly because of Heat miser and Snow Miser. Other classics from my childhood that I enjoy that were not mentioned yet in this thread: How the Grinch Stole Christmas Merry Christmas Charlie Brown Rudolph Frosty ..and whats the one with Burger Mister Mister Burger?? I will always watch and enjoy all the Charlie Brown holiday shows (Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc). My 15 year old son loves all of those also.

    Well it seems like the issue with the warning/message that I kept getting has been fixed. I have not received any of those today.

    Yesterday my android phone (Samsung Galaxy 4) performed a system upgrade. Since that has completed I continue to get a shield symbol on the top of my screen and when I view it I get this message: An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked When I click on it, it repeats the top message and adds this: Deleting applications obtained from unauthorized sources may improve security. However, it does not give me any information on which application is causing this error. Any help anyone can provide with this would be appreciated.

    I know that they are predicting more along the lake, but sometimes with these lake effect snow events it can be fairly unpredictable. Many times an inland county like Waukesha gets more lake effect snow than Milwaukee because the snow tends to come off the lake in narrow bands that extend inland. So, you could have a band of moderate snow that extends from say Port Washington through Menominee Falls and Waukesha, while Milwaukee hardly gets any snow at all.

    He doesn't have to stay healthy or keep producing for 11 straight years, he just has to sign an 11 year contract. It's all guaranteed after that. I think that's one thing that really turns some people off about baseball and the salaries that are paid to players.

    Here is an interesting article from about a year ago that talk about this very topic and ponders what Trout could eventually make. They argue that based on % of total team revenue that players like AROD got at one point in time in their careers and with the new TV contracts of some teams, if Trout were to sign an 11+ year contract it's not completely unfathomable to think he could make $1 billion. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/11/why-the-worlds-first-billion-dollar-athlete-is-just-a-few-years-away/265684/ If you count lifetime earnings and endorsement deals, guys like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan have already reached that billion dollar level.

    They are also using cheese in some parts of the state...that's right...cheese. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/cheese-used-to-help-keep-roads-clear-of-ice-snow/

    Yesterday, from noon to a little after one, I drove from Racine to Waukesha during the main part of the storm. The drive was slow and a bit of a "white knuckler", but nothing compared with the traffic going the other way. I think we saw 3 separate instances where the freeway was closed on the other side and traffic was being diverted off the freeway (7-mile road, Loomis road, and Layton Ave). We saw a lot of cars in ditches, cracked up, facing the wrong way on the other side...but never ran into anything like that on our side all the way home. Someone stated that they new about this storm for a week, but most of the forecasts I saw stated Sunday night. Even when I was watching the forecast yesterday morning before we went to Racine they were not making it sound like it was going to be that big of a deal (2-4 inches). It really shouldn't have been. People just need to learn to slow way down in those conditions and STOP TEXTING!! Even in perfect conditions I don't get this willingness to put yours and other drivers lives in danger by texting while your driving....it's really not any less dangerous than drinking and driving.

    Not too concerned with B because Gindl is a decent option if Davis doesn't pan out. You forgot to put that in blue.
  17. Patrick425
    Seems like a decent deal to me. Judging by his K rate, I'm assuming he's a hard thrower. I guess my only concerns would be: A) As mentioned - who leads off now and B) I'm concerned that Khris Davis is being overrated. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.
  18. Patrick425
    Booo! Although, seems like plenty of time before they would have to make that decision (have to give a year's notice starting in 2015). So much could happen between now and then, like offers from other Phoenix suburbs such as Scottsdale, Surprise, Goodyear, etc.

    I understand that lying and cheating to make money has been done for years in our society, that doesn't mean it's a good thing or the right way to act. It's certainly not a value most people would teach their children (at least I hope not). Also, I think we should be consistent in regards to whether or not we think it's "ok" to do that. Not sure why some are so quick to condemn Wall Street "villains", but have no problem when athletes act the same way. The answer to that should not be that athletes are not "stealing" the money. Sure they are...that money comes from somewhere. Aside from the paying customer, they are also stealing from the players who are playing by the rules. Yes, believe it or not there are players that play by the rules. I don't consider them "holier than thou". I consider them honorable.

    Getting off topic, but I agree on PEDs for recovery. Its hard for me to get mad at a player for wanting to use the best medical treatment that's available to stay on the field in the case of injury or to recover faster between games and workouts. Why do people believe that the only reason Braun took PEDs was to avoid or recover from injuries. Because he said so? Also, so it's ok to lie and cheat as long as the reason you are doing it is to make money? Really? Are these the values we want to endorse in our society?

    That was great and happy thanksgiving to you to trwi7! A) My guess is that a large portion of Americans could not point out Great Britain on a map, or correctly label a majority of European countries. B) I would also like to see this same thing with Americans labeling the states. My guess is that you would have similar results. I know my wife is clueless on where many of the states are located.
  22. Patrick425
    I think that will or at least can happen long term. There is a long history in America of heroes being vilified and then celebrated a few years later in their "resurrection". That is one of the games the Major Media plays in this Country and a way they make money. Braun is still going through the vilification phase and that may continue for some time. I'm certain that his lawyers and agent understand this process of the media in manipulating public taste much better than I do and have explained it all thoroughly to him. Eventually over the course of time (3-5 years from now) there will be heartfelt stories in Sports Illustrated and on ESPN about how much work Braun does for charity and looks out for younger teammates or whatever and then his resurrection will begin. It is part of the process many celebrities go through in America Well there is an easy way to not get "vilified" by the media. How about just living an honest and fairly straight forward life? I have a hard time labeling people who get paid millions of dollars in the entertainment business (sports, movies, whatever?) and then get in trouble by breaking the law, lying, cheating, etc as victims of the media.

    I was listening to that as well WV. Most callers were critical of Braun.
  24. Patrick425
    Listening on the radio. As someone who has been critical of Braun, I will say that he is answering all the questions the way I hoped he would. Talking a lot about regret...regretful that he ever held that press conference. I was glad to hear him say that.

    Occasionaly I'll order flowers for my wife. The problem I have is that A) she works from 6:30 - 3:30 and B) she been at the same place for 25 years, has a ton of vacation time, and I never know when she is going to take a half day. I don't want them delivered to the house and I know that she would rather have them delivered to her at work. I don't understand why florists don't offer to guarantee that flowers will be delivered by a certain time. Heck, I'd even be willing to pay an extra $5 or $10 for that guarantee. All of the on-line national florists tell me the same thing, we can request it but there is no guarantee. Even when I call a local florists directly, they even give me a hard time about guaranteeing a delivery time and their prices are much higher than the online florists (and normally I can get a promo code with the online florists). edit: Also...who's ordering this? Hey thanks for the head of lettuce with the random radish looking thing in it.
