  1. The NWS already has a moderate threat for sever weather on Sunday for us. It's not often they have this 2-3 days out like this. http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/272356cf96b5877675cd419e1e38664997ba487.gif
  2. I guess places out by Costco in Middleton had tennis ball-sized hail. We are 3 miles from Costco, and had some quarter-sized hail. It was loud, and our deck was nice and white.
  3. All seasons (except season 1) of Top Gear are now available for instant view on Netflix. It might be one of my favorite TV shows.
  4. I also downloaded it the other day, and am pleased. I like how they kept most things around that they had before. Programs that have frequent updates (iTunes) often change the whole interface, and FF did not do that. It is noticeably faster than the old version. I do have one question, and it's not specific to FF 4.0, but FF in general. There are times I close FF, and reopen it a couple hours later. I get a message saying it is already running and I need to close it before restarting it. I open Task Manager, and sure enough, the process is running. Why does FF do this?
  5. Even with moving out of the WCHA, my guess is they will still regularly schedule teams that remain there. With only 6 teams in the conference, we will have 20 conference games. The Badgers played 36 regular season games this year...they have to make up those other 14-16 games somehow.
  6. Menard's does not carry Weber grills. I looked for them when I bought my grill a couple years ago. Home Depot, Target, Ace Hardware all carry Weber grills.
  7. We went to Home Depot today to order some stuff for our house. While the sales associate was helping us, answering questions, and taking our order, two different people came up to him and asked him when he would be available. It upset me. We took up maybe 10 minutes of the associate's time, and the guy didn't dilly-dally. No customer is more important than another customer, but these people clearly believed they were much more important than us.
  8. I'll agree. I buy socks that are a tad bit more expensive ($10 for 3 pairs), and 2 pairs just this past weekend developed huge holes in them and I had to throw them out...yet I have socks from 5 years ago that are still alive and kicking. Both pairs I tossed were less than a year old.
  9. I agree with comfortable shoes. If you are a golfer, wear your golf shoes. I found them incredibly useful at Whistling Straits.
  10. Went to the GMO quite a few times at Brown Deer and went to both PGA Championships at Whistling Straits. I have sat at a green, in the middle of the fairway, and followed groups. I would recommend doing a little of everything. I liked standing at the landing area from tee shots because you essentially got to see them hit 2 shots. If you get close enough, you can also hear the conversations between the golfer and caddy (depends on their shot, too). I like to walk around to see the course, but walking all day can get very tiring very quickly. Get there early and head to the practice range. You get to see the leaders practice, and can sometimes get fairly close. It's neat to watch their coach go through their swing with them. No matter what, try to take binoculars. If you are stationary, it is nice to be able to see who is coming. It's also not that hard to follow the shots with the binoculars, either.
  11. I have begun to notice some limitations to using Netflix for TV. One thing that has bothered me is how slowly some of the seasons get released for instant view. I have been watching both The Tudors and Top Gear lately. There are only 2 seasons of The Tudors online right now, and I'm almost done with season 2. Also, there are only 4 seasons of Top Gear (9-12), and series 9 only has 5 episodes available on instant view. I don't understand the rhyme or reason of seasons being added, or why some seasons are incomplete.
  12. That is Minnesota's state capitol building. Here is a picture of it in the daylight (quick Google search netted this picture...) http://cache.virtualtourist.com/3509166-Minnesota_State_Capitol_at_St_Paul-Saint_Paul.jpg Darn...Chris beat me to it...
  13. I really don't understand the fascination with Papa Murphy's pizza. It's just OK. I think it is pretty greasy, the crust just marginal, and it's not that much cheaper than pizza you get from places that actually cooks it for you. My mother-in-law swears it is the best, and I just can't agree. I can think of quite a few other places that I would much rather get pizza from before going to Papa Murphy's.
  14. We found out the gender of our soon-to-be baby, but my mom did not want to know. Since we found out, I have constantly called our child "she", but kept saying "it" to my mom. Needless to say, it slipped tonight. I kind of feel bad about it, but this is super-exciting for me, and it was going to happen. Oh, well. I guess I really don't know why she wanted it to stay a secret. ----- Continued from: viewtopic.php?p=653554#p653554 Original Lead: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=8540
  15. I used a lot of old census data when I did my family tree. It was beyond useful. A lot of the data from this year has yet to be released and/or analyzed, so I haven't gone gung-ho with it yet.
  16. The 2010 census data gets released today, and I can't wait to go through it! I love census data, and I can't tell you why. I remember spending hours looking through data after the 2000 census, and will probably do so over the next couple of weeks. I am such a huge nerd.
  17. What an awesome birthday present! Thank you DM! Having been a Brewer fan my whole life, I have always heard about all the talent we have the minors. Yes, a lot of our team is home-grown, but what has all that talent produced? One Wild Card birth, and they nearly missed that. I love trading to win now. It's a new mentality I'm not used to.
  18. I'll second Priceline for booking a rental car. We went to Phoenix a couple years ago, and the cheapest was $35/day. I got my car on Priceline for $20/day (may have even been $18).
  19. Under the 6 or so inches of snow I shoveled was at least a half inch of wet, heavy slush. I think we had close to a half inch of rain last night before it started snowing, so all that rain got trapped. There are places on my driveway that had a lot of ice under the snow, too.
  20. "Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna."
  21. As long as they are not purple (which you said they are not), wearing your winter jackets will be just fine. When I was a student there, I didn't have a Badger-red jacket, either, and I never got railed on. A hat would be more than enough.
  22. Yeah, that non-call was completely bogus. There was no doubt about it our guy got tripped. WCHA refs over the past few seasons have been absolutely terrible. Wisconsin has been the victim of some terrible, terrible calls, and those blown calls (or non-calls) have directly led to losses, just like last night. No wonder why Wisconsin already has one foot out the conference door. We can't wait until the Big Ten conference starts just so we can escape the WCHA. It's a complete joke. That ref won't have anything done to him.
  23. Josh Gasser is from the same high school I went to (Port Washington). I'm shocked that someone from Port plays D-I basketball for a major program. A lot has changed over the past 10 years. When I was in school, we had a year where we didn't win a game, and a year where we won 1. I was gleaming with pride Sunday night when I was listening to the game.
