    Here ya go, DA. Proof the West Virginia mining companies are evil.

    *Ahem* WEST Virginia. West BY GOD Virginia. 'Cause, you know, God is out west. And yes, Massey is evil and has been for as long as I've been aware of them. There's no part of the southern half of West Virginia that hasn't been tainted by their touch. /relurks

    august contest

    Might have to try replicating that tonight, I have a tri-tip roast just waiting to be devoured. Love the Kawasaki rose in the center, too, nice touch - would have been awesome made from nori. Though the steak looks a bit too done for my taste.

    Season openers tonight

    Got to feel bad for the Hokies today, losing to I-AA James Madison 21-16. They just became the second ranked team ever to lose to a I-AA team. Got to feel even worse for Boise State. Their strength of schedule just got shot in the nads.

    Anybody know anything about Melbourne, FL?

    I have a client in Melbourne that I visit a couple times a year. It seems to me to be about as middle-class as a town on the Florida coast can be. Not too much ritz and glitz. I rather like it there, but I can't speak with the perspective of one who's lived there. The airport in Melbourne is...

    Season openers tonight

    I dunno, DA, I hear Coastal Carolina's a real contender in I-AA (I refuse to acknowledge the FCS/FBS nonsense)... amongst universities along the Carolina coast, anyway. This was just a classic Coach Stew opening game. At least we can be fairly certain that he won't come back for a contract...

    More PC Advice: Back up methods?

    I use Retrospect for local backup in combination with Carbonite. Though lately when I save over top of an old file (i.e. open an old file as a template and forget to "save as" before editing it) I find it easier to bring the old one back from Carbonite than from the external drive, since I...

    Buying MP3s?

    I thought the iTunes store went DRM-free a while ago?

    Senator Byrd dies

    I lived in West Virginia for most of my life, never voted for him, and disagreed with almost everything he did. But there's no denying he was a statesman, gentleman, and scholar. Rest in peace, Senator Byrd.

    Introduce Yourself!

    Well enough. I just don't have much time to hang around on the forum - my job keeps me on the road a lot. But I'm glad for the mobile view on my phone, that's for sure

    PAC-10 and Big-10 to expand? Big XII to shrivel and die?

    I'd say more like fuck you, Pete Carroll. He broke all the rules, his players broke all the rules, they reap all the benefits and leave for the NFL and the kids who weren't even there when the Reggie Bush shit was going down get to pay the penalty. Not that I'm defending Lane Kiffin (aka Bobby...

    PAC-10 and Big-10 to expand? Big XII to shrivel and die?

    Holy CRAP what a hire! I'm hoping that when the dust settles WVU will end up invited to the super-SEC. ACC is more likely, geographically, but then again Texas as a Pac-whatever team doesn't make much geographic sense either. As an aside, damn I miss Morgantown sometimes. I spent way too...

    Introduce Yourself!

    I can just feelthe love between you two in the politics forum.

    iPhone iPhone iPhone 4!

    Yeah, sorry about that. iPhones here are GSM, too, on AT&T. And their radios don't work on the same GSM frequencies as T-Mobile USA - though they do work on T-Mobile in Germany, go figure. Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular, and Alltel are CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM. Others I've not had...

    PAC-10 and Big-10 to expand? Big XII to shrivel and die?

    I like Penn State. JoePa is a legend and class act. If this happens I can't describe to you how much I'd love for Penn State to give Pitt an annual smackdown so hard it'd knock them halfway into the Sun Belt. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge WVU fan, nope, not at all :twisted...

    PAC-10 and Big-10 to expand? Big XII to shrivel and die?

    Quite a few scenarios I've seen point to the Big Ten possibly raiding the Big East as well, taking Pitt or Rutgers. Pitt would provide a natural rival for Penn State and revive that series again, plus Rutgers would provide the New York market ($$$$$). Either way, the Big East would be doomed...

    iPhone iPhone iPhone 4!

    Here in the States we have this backwards, convoluted system called CDMA that Sprint and Verizon use. The only other place it's used is in South Korea. The rest of the world (And AT&T and T-Mobile) use GSM, with the swappable SIM cards. CDMA phones are hard-coded to one carrier or another...

    Stuff White People Like...

    mmm... hops. A couple of my favorites from when I was in Madison: Ale Asylum New Glarus I'm a bit of a beer snob and not ashamed of it. I also hate wine and most liquor. So I don't try to convince people that they should like beer, lest they try to convince me I should like wine or...

    Who is the Worst Mass Murder in your state?

    I remember this well. The shootings were in the dorm I used to live in and Norris Hall where I used to take classes in room 301 and the auditorium. I was damn lucky to be in Robeson Hall that day.
