Dinner for my parents last night.

If you are talking about the US, there are few posts that I have disagreed more with. In this country, the opportunities are ABSOLUTELY there. I have never ever met one person in the US who totally dedicated themselves to success and have completely failed. I have, however, met dozens who sit...

I see what you are saying, but capitalism is not a "team" game. Yes, different entities often must work together to achive a final goal, but make no mistake everyone is working in their own best interest of maximizing profit. When my firms stock price goes up, trust me, I am not thinking about...

grad - Let me second this. Light afterall is just a thin slice of the entire EM spectrum, but in a physical sense there is nothing special about the way it behaves relative to any other frequency in the band. All EMR is governed by amplitude, frequency, and energy as predicated by wave...

On a related note, you guys must watch this video of an M5 driver on the Ring. These two must be virgins the way they act. Everytime the passenger opens his mouth makes me want to bitch slap him back to his mothers basement. Thats aside from the fact the guy in the (much older) yellow Porsche...

Jeff - its a 2004 so its a 996. I bought it w just over 9000 miles on it so it was pretty cherry. The CPO warranty runs out at the end of 2010, so I will probably trade it in for a 997tt then. I agree. To me, the BMW M series represent a compromise, not that there is anything wrong with...

Cant add too much since I made my dream a reality in December w a grey 911 turbo. However, since enough is never enough, cars that I wouldnt mind having along side it in a 5 car garage...... 2) Porsche Carerra GT. Ultimate sportscar from ultimate sportscar company. 3) Porsche 356. Red...

Hanging by a moment - Lifehouse

Coffee. Heading to the cafe in a minute for something. Maybe eggs, maybe just a bagel.

This is a false rumor. The man at the counter has never been seen in the show before. (Leave it to the NYT to start unsubstantiated rumors.....) TestPattern : Dissecting 'Sopranos' final scene: Questions abound

I pay $15 + $10 tip.

The analogy is not applicable - this is not a sporting event where the utility is largely derived from the final outcome. The utility from watching this show comes from the drama itself, and the ending created plenty of that. Did Tony die because the screen went black? Was the war over and...

No closure? But thats just the brilliance in it - there closure, or lack thereof, is entirely contingent upon your own mindset. If you think killing Phil was the end of the war, then those guys in the restaurant were really nobody and the family just continues as before. Sil pulling through...

Add me to the list. They kept you on the edge of your seat the whole episode - to the last second. Then they left you either satisfied or unsure depending on your mindset. And perhaps most importantly from a $ perspective, opened up the possibility for future considerations. Best series...

I will add another vote to foreign oil/energy. The sad part of what is going on in Iraq is we are trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Our current government does not (want to?) realize that all wars are economic. If you want to beat the terrorists - dont fight them, starve them. If we...

The OEM tires on my Porsche is Bridgestone Potenzas. The car has 10k miles on it but there is plenty of tread left. I did some research on the Porsche boards and there were plenty of other guys who tried Pirellis or Continentals, but they all went back to the Bridgestones. The backs are...

Wow - what a nice way to wake up. Last birthday with a 3-handle on it - I better enjoy it! Thanks again guys!

Just the other day, I found a picture of myself when I was 19, and I showed it to my gf. She claimed she now has a crush on 19 year-old-me. That made me think, even though I turn 39 in a few days, could I kick 19 year-old-me's ass? So I broke it down - Size - Me. I weighed 160 at 19 -...

He just wants to be her everything.....
