I had the pleasure a few years back of scoring front row tickets to the Tibetan Freedom Concert at Alpine. It was a wet day of wall-to-wall music (Beasties, Eddie Vedder, Live, Run DMC, The Cult, on and on). However, Rage totally stole the show. Just thinking back to De La Rocha leaning down and screaming into our faces gives me a little adrenaline rush. Every few minutes I'd take a look back at the towering mountain of humanity with mud flying around like a scene from Lord of the Rings and it gave me chills. One of the best concert experiences I've ever had. If you get a chance: go.

Draft Pick Discussion Thread, Rounds 1-5
Chio151 replied to colbyjack's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
Cool, a big slow power bat who plays the same position as our franchise player. Depth rocks. At least he isn't a lanky, raw, one-pitch Canadian. -
Who should the Brewers take in the 1st Round
Chio151 replied to Brew Man Dan's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
There may be a lot of barfing going on around here. I agree though, go with Wieters if he's there -- especially with the new rules. -
A couple potential solutions: Seal the tiles first and then grout. or Just apply painters tape over them while you're grouting.
-
Bravo Backupcatchers. Sometimes we all just need a little perspective.

This totally shakes my view of this world to its core... I think the sea levels and weather patterns are generally held in check due to Bob Barker's skinny microphone being there every weekday morning.
-
BMuch, thanks for the clarification. So, basically, both of my conditions would need to be met: - primary residence for 2 of 5 years - less than $250,000 in gains Either way, probably not going to apply to the vast majority of people.
-
That is incorrect in most cases. Also, if you have resided there for at least 2 of the five, you are not subject at all.

Well, of the 6% that a seller makes, about half of that goes to the buyers agent. The selling agent is not counting on that money. If anything, you could negotiate that portion. That is, if your buyer is not represented and it was just a friend or co-worker. Otherwise, it would be tough to tell a full-service realtor that they may or may not get commission on a sale. Why would they take the deal. So of the FSBO companies may be a better option. lakecountrybyowner.com does a flat fee MLS listing and pictures type of option for like 500 bucks. You can also step that up to a 1.9/3.9% commission full-service realtor if you'd like with them.

What really bad movies do you secretly like?
Chio151 replied to Boy Jeenius's topic in Off-Topic Forum
One of my all-time favorites. I have it on DVD. Not sure why, but I just love watching that movie. -
I live in Brookfield, in a very safe neighborhood, but we still had an incident last November. My wife parked her vehicle in our driveway next to our garage. On the right was a large hill with very thick brush that could not be navigated through quietly. On the left was a very sensitive motion detector light (which hits our bedroom window directly). One exterior wall away was our spastic dog ready to wreak havoc. The one night she left her purse in the car, someone managed to negotiate around the hill and light and select 3 credit cards to steal. The next day, I got a call from someone asking if I had just spent 100 bucks at Walgreens. My first thought was... "jeez, how was my wife able to spend 100 bucks at friggin Walgreens before she got to work...." I said possibly. She then asked if we just spend 150 at pick'n'save and 200 at kmart. Okay, "no, shut the card down." The guy knew that he had dollar limits and had to spread out the purchases, but he didn't realize that he was running too quickly between the stores. Credit card company - 1, Vagabond loser - 0. So, we figured that was that since we got our money back. I installed another motion light and we now lock our doors without fail. Good news was, about 2 weeks later we got a call from the Brookfield police. They had a guy in possession of all our cards and he had hundreds of others. Turns out he was able to break into many houses in our neighborhood as well. Very creepy, you can never be too careful.

Thought of a more recent one: Sahara. Just absurd premise and silly acting... but I enjoyed it. Reminded me of Jewel of the Nile. -

This thread should be renamed, which 80s movies do you love... Princess Bride is one of the best movies I can think of! No place on a 'bad' list. Iron Eagle takes the cake for me though -- totally absurd. -
One additional note to anyone out there looking to register domains -- avoid register.com like the plague. I've worked with dozens of registrars and for such a large company they are terribly unreliable.
-
Yeah, search for the best deal on the actual domain registration. It really doesn't matter who registers it for you, everyone is providing virtually the same service for that. What matters is who will be the authorative domain server going forward and who will host the website. If you are looking for pure simplicity and price, I would recommend yahoo.com and 1and1.com -- both huge hosts. Both can expand to suit your needs. If you need more code support, first identify what technology you may be using and then search for the hosts that have those pre-installed. Hostrocket.com has been good.
-
I like it too. Go figure.
-
Yeah, it was an invalid domain -- so it is impossible. I knew this, considering I work in web development... but it didn't stop me from trying anyway. Some of the hidden things in that show are hilarious -- like the certificate behind Michael's desk (proud owner of Seiko timepiece). Good to hear Ryan will stay.
-
The original URL for Creedthoughts was purposefully invalid because Ryan wanted to shield the world from Creed's brain. It was just a Word Doc. I sure hope Ryan stays on the show as Michael's boss, because that would be utterly hilarious.
-
Even though Oden and Durant have the best superstar potential, Al Horford is probably the guy who could help most in the next 2 seasons for the Bucks. The really need a guy like him. I also really like Corey Brewer.
-
I've got a 240 in bowling, but my wife has a 247 -- which is incredible frustrating... I've found that the ranking for bowling is very difficult. In order to stay above 1000 (pro) you really need to consistently bowl about a 175-185.
-
I have to say that I've been laughing out loud with both the Watermark and Flasher episodes. I think one thing that is making them so good is they are going back to Jim/Pam playing great jokes on Dwight -- which is the heart of the show. They are settling in a bit with the Andy character. They've turned down his self-caricature a bit and made him more of a real character. I think most people are familiar with a character somewhat like Andy -- the guy who trys way too hard all the time.
-
Yeah, youtube always worked because it uses Flash video instead of MPG, AVI, or Real. About 2 months ago we had a bunch of people over and we were literally watching youtube instead of television. It was one of those moments where I realized I was in the future.... (flat screen on the wall, a bunch of 20-somethings calling up on-demand video). Great stuff.
-
Use this site: www.itrackr.com It worked like a charm for me. I got an alert that target had some in stock, called the store, and hurried over. That was a couple months ago.
-
Very funny episode again. I like to see the increased role for Darrell and the warehouse guys -- funny stuff.
-
Well, he's really only been a nice guy this season as he's been trying to win back Pam. Before that he was always portrayed as the testosterone-laden dumb guy. It's not totally out of character. That said, it wasn't done well and just made everything uncomfortable.
