UVerse rolled out that traffic/weather/stocks bar as well. I didnt' use it, but it seems it could be handy for some.

Wow. Best of Luck SM. Great news about negative bone marrow results. Speaking of that, I implore everyone to join the National Bone Marrow donor program to help people out with Lymphoma/Leukemia. You will have to give a few bucks to help with the DNA sample (About 25 bucks), but all it takes is a few swabs to your cheek and a few minutes of your time. The actual Bone Marrow donation does require sedation and a few day recovery, but it can help save a life.

Peavey - The installers are pretty new to it. I heard they are better at it now, but for awhile it was pretty slow as they haven't figured out all the flukes yet. Plus Installers are generally fairly limited on the scope of issues. I had UVerse for about 6 months till I moved. UVerse is IP TV. Similar to Verizons FIOS, but since ATT is rolling out on older networks (Compared to Verizons Fiber) they run into alittle more limitations with "Last mile copper". It's still a very young deployment so there are some issues. In the last year, I've had DTV, UVerse and now TWC. So I've been around the block with most providers. DTV - I loved DTV. There are some limitations with the systems, rain fade, 2 Feeds only, each TV needs own DVR and can't share information across your "DVR Network". Packages are more expensive, but their packages make sense, their customer services is amazing, boxes are nice, picture is awesome. Beyond Rain Fade I had zero problems. They are also launching some new Satellites to up their total HD bandwidth, IIRC they expect to have 150 HD channels up in February. If I didn't live in an apt building, I'd be on DTV. TWC - I hate them. Customer service is a joke. DVR is horrible, it's a giant peice of crap. Packages don't seem to make much sense, and the cost adds up fast. Why again am I paying 2bucks a month for a freaking remote? HD Quality is very nice, but channels are very limited, and their On Demand service is messy. Seems to be delpoyed like crap. I will be moving off them as soon as other options are rolled out. UVerse - I was a fairly early adopter. Got the best package for "on the cheap". Installation was a bit of a mess, but installers are new to this all. Customer Services is very good, ATT obviously thought about it alot as their service isnt' very mature so they want to put "best foot forward". DVR is alright. It's standable. They appear to use multicast for their IP TV deployment, so that's how they get the stream out. They can stream over RJ45 or Coax depending on what you have in your house. They like to run RG45, but some times it's a bit to much to replace all the coax. SD Picture quality is second to none. HD is a little light, and they compress. but they are supposedly rolling out new VDSL2 software on their IP-VDSL stations eventually increasing bandwidth to the house big time. The big thing that kind of stinks for multiple TV houses, the stream limiatation. Right now it's 2HD/4SD streams. So at any time you can only have 4 different channels on at your house. Not a big deal for a single guy like myself, but I could see that being a limit for people. Plus if yo uhave 4 TVs and they are all on, DVR can't do anything. On Demand is pretty nice, it's setup in a much better manner then TWC. No HD On Demand (Not sure if they'll roll it out). All in all UVerse offers a lot of potential, and could be great. i'll switch as soon as they are done rolling out here in Shorewood. (I hear they are fighting the city because the VDSL Boxes are "to big".. lame)

Solid list. Have you tried Pizzeria Picola? It's a Balistreris place, but I think the actual restaurant is way over rated. It's good, but not great. But I love Pizzeria Picola. I used to live just down the street from Teds, great food, the cash only thing freaks out a lot of people. Best Retauraunt: Sanfords - Sanford D'Amato makes some truely amazing food. I will recommend breaking open the bank, and just going witht he Chefs choice with wine pairing. It's not going to disapoint. Best Steak - Corpers 5'Oclock Club. I heard they had a ownership change, I haven't been back for awhile. Place looks a mess, but steak is great. Eddie Martinis is fantastic. Pretty good wine list, and Chris Murphy (Manager) has a pretty good nose for good wines. Had my first Silver Oak there, man that's some great wine. Anyone have any oppinion on Dream Dance? I've been meaning to go there...

Well 19 year olds are good at the interweb tubes... they are a series of tubes after all!

Right on Pat! That bugs me so much, and the people who just open their door when they pull in. It's a parking lot, to rocket science.

So for fun... I figure I'd try to figure out how much the Brewer will intake before September 5th. From what I gathered the average price for a NLDS and NLCS is roughly $450.00. That is high due to the number of cheaper seats compared to more expensive seats. So I'll dumb it down to roughly $400.00. I'll also assume 42,500 seats. NLDS and NLCS will inject $119,000.00 dollars. Lets assume the worst happens, and the Brewers don't make the play offs. I assume they'll gain interest on it, while they sit on it for roughly 2 months. (Sept / Oct). With a 5% interest rate for those two months they will earn roughly $11,900,000. Assuming the Brewers make the playoffs, World Series purchases will be processed. Assuming the same thing, I came up with the average WS series to be roughly $700, I'll assume $650 due to cheaper compared to more expensive. The Brewers will intake roughly $82,875,00.00 dollars and earn (assuming they sit on the refunds for 2 months) $8,287,500.00 What happens to all the money? Assuming a modest 5% interest rate, they'll take in roughly 20million in interest. Obviously some goes to operational expenses (The packet you received, extra ticket manager time etc)

437 Here Row 12. Pretty crappy.

I would complain about the Ushers boss not the usher himself. Looks like he just went to his boss for a question about the seed spit. (I assume they dont' want seeds all over the walking area due to making it slippery). But his boss handled it horribly, and I'd think you'd be justified in a complaint.

You can always buy a UK iTunes card (Ebay might be able to hook ya up, but the # is so much more expensive) Otherwise there are other methods, that involve pirates and a bay.

This is exactly why I stopped reading the JSOnline Brewers Blog. Tom H appears to be a jerk and has contempt for the very people who provide him with a job. With his muff with "Badger Blogger" then his very stated hate for Bloggers yet wants to make a blog happen. Tom, part of a blog is interacting with the community. I'll stick to getting my brewers news from BCB Frosty Mugs and right here.

I don't think I can afford WS tickets. It makes me kind of angry, I've suffered through years of bad brewers baseball, and economic situation is going to prevent me from potentially seeing the most important baseball in the last decade.

More Ks less BB Manny.. or Prince will punch you in the mouth.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/previews/2008/SDN200808140.shtml Looks like Counsell will get the start. .955 OPS, he's raking.

I'm more curious on what the costs are going to be.

I don't get that at all Hawing. I see that as... you have rights to as many seats as you have, max of 4 seats. So if you have 2 seats, you can get 2 seats. 4 seats.. 4 seats. 8 seats... 4 seats. I guess I won't be trying to get all my friends and I to sit together next year, we were going to combine all our partial season packs into one purchase, about 10 of us. That's out the window.

Ladies. When you have a big ol purse, you get your change. Is it truely necessary to sit there for 5 minutes to put all your stuff away? Simply step aside and let the next person order. I don't know why that bugs me, but it does.

http://www.nashvillesounds.com/news/news.asp?newsId=2828 Sounds with a PR. It's official.

Game one of Cubs / Braves day night is on WGN.

Backup would be Rivera for First.

Baseball players are all witches. Haven't you seen the Wizard of Oz?

Allow fielders to throw their glove. Imagine a towering home run, Hart break back. Shot looks to be a good 20 feet over the fench... hart throws his glove up.. his the ball and keeps it in play for an out.

Well at least that explains a little more about why Chicken has been in. Are they bring up Nix becuase they think Braun will be on the DL or have an extended bench riding?

Lets see.. I used to work for a guy who got the nickname Admiral Dumb(donkey). I made a mistake at work, and was titled "Sergent Clue Less" since I made a stupid mistake. EFNet IRC had a 9 character limit back in the day, so I adopted SgtClueLs. Use it for just about everything... that and Poonix.

Fans of the NHL's Dallas Stars were treated to a raucous fight song penned by Pantera and dedicated to their favorite hockey team during the Star's 1999 Stanley Cup Championship run. Throughout the season members of the team befriended members of Pantera. During a Stanley Cup party hosted by drummer Vinnie Paul, the Stanley Cup was damaged when an unidentified player attempted to throw the cup from the roof of Vinnie Paul's house into his pool. The Cup landed short on the concrete deck and had to be repaired by NHL commissioned silversmiths. ----------- From other articles I've read, during the same party. They found out how many strippers it takes to sink the cup.
