If UCONN wins I finish 2nd. Any other scenario and I run the table with a score that will not change from Elite 8 on. Only 1 guy out of 40 has a horse left in the race. I went from 10/16 to 3/8 to 0/4. Crazy.

I am currently in first place in a bracket with 40 people @ $20 a pop. I already have won $80 for being on top after the 1st weekend and stand to win a total of $560. Florida State has been $$$ for me and would have iced it if they could have pulled out a win against VCU in overtime last night. I am sitting pretty good. There are 2 players that can overtake me if UCONN AND Florida win. Either one loses and it's over and I win it all. Go Arizona! Next year we should do an HC bracket.

Hey Knuckles, where could one see more of that apocalypse art?

Thanks everyone!! Unfortunately, I had a lovely cold for my 50th BD. Oh well.

Jethro Tull - This Way (40th Anniversary Collector's Edition) Working my way through the JT discography. This is the beginning.

My trusty Zune 120 died yesterday after years of stellar daily service so.... Zune HD Original 64gb Loved the design so yeah. I fully expect to be thoroughly scoffed at by the ifanboys hereabouts. Do your worst.

Unique and beautiful dog you have there and good on ya for the rescue, sounds like you are being well rewarded for it!

DIY Custom IEM's: Sonomax @ CES. Didn't think it was worthy of it's own thread so here it is.

Cool, thanks. kidding

Cool, thanks.

Why are the mega threads being recycled? Just curious.

Dry Niagara: Sauce.

Do let us know what you think of The China Study. Inquiring minds....

Enjoying this immensely, thank you.

Ima kick sumass next year.

I was running Vista on 768MB on a Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop for a long time before putting 7 Ultimate on it. Actually ran 1/2 assed decent believe it or not.

Phenomenal deal for a beginner scope. I still have a 6" Dob so no real reason for me to get this other than as a gift. Tempting....

Cry me a river. 3 players with 0, one with 1 point. And this was a good week

Lay low. When you think it safe to come up lay low moar. Repeat.

Yes an actual visit is unlikely. I would settle for detecting signals of an alien intelligence. I think it would do 2 critical things: flick a psychological switch that would reduce many of the divisions that are now important to many people and erode the human centric arrogance that is still at the core of many religions.

True. I am probably the most optimistic person I know but on this issue I think the fatal combination of ignorance and greed will doom the human experiment to failure I fear. Our ability to kill/destroy/despoil on massive scales is far outpacing any type of humanitarian evolution that may or may not be happening. Something needs to happen. Something big. Something to change the mindset and bring us together as Earthlings. At the risk of sounding like one of my kooky in-laws.... the one thing I hope for, the one thing I really hope occurs in my lifetime that has the potential to save us is CONTACT. Assuming, of course, that they don't just show up and harvest all of our water or iron or something. Hyperspace bypass anyone?

If.

In a similar mode as well... Most of my in-laws are into some sort of shenanigans or another. I have a sister in-law who actually believes she is being abducted by aliens while she sleeps. One of her spirit guides (the dolphin perhaps?) told her so.
