Thanks, that did the trick!

I looked for some non-violent PS3 games, but there just aren't many among the top releases. But BUWebguy, if you can put aside the dislike for shooting games, you really ought to try the Call of Duty 4/Modern Warfare games, and Grand Theft Auto 4.
I disagree. There is no future in it.
walmart has them for 18.88
Why not just buy one? They really aren't that expensive.
Don't know too much, other than the Frio is supposedly the next hot thing in deep gas. It's been a proven producer, with relatively high success rates, so expectations are high. I know even less about the Vicksburg, other than it's below the Frio. I work mostly Permian Basin stuff, so I don't know a whole lot about what's going on in the Gulf, especially the deepwater stuff. I know everyone is spending buttloads of cash on it though. The onshore stuff is dying, so offshore, especially deepwater, is the focus.
And if you don't have access to medical care because you can't afford it, it can be deadly to a 22-year old.

Trying to figure out what you're talking about.
So. I get into town an hour ago or so. I'm sitting here going through my mountain of mail and watching a great pitcher's duel. I get a call on my cell. I am in my apartment in downtown Houston. After about five minutes of conversation I suddenly realized that I was talking to myself. I look down at the phone and sure enough there are zero bars. Dropped call. THE FIRST FUCKING CALL. I just spent six weeks in a third world banana republic talking on my cell constantly and guess how many calls were dropped. Right. None.
I have a full four bars now. God knows what'll happen when someone calls, though.
I had gallstones. Labor pains aren't even close to comparable. I did the whole curled-up-in-a-fetal-position-on-my-bedroom-floor too. Holy mother.
We presumed that ABC/ESPN2/360/Channelsurfing/GamePackage wouldn't be showing the Golden Wave Marching Band at the half, so a number of us offered Pall Malls and Fighting Cock whiskey to entice Taras to come watch the game over here and perhaps regale us with his tails of Leakey Leadership Lab concepts gone wrong.
However, he seems more inclined to stay home, perhaps to test his newest bird guns or his hybrid clubs; either that or he's really hooked on this "spying on his neighbors" thing he volunteered recently. I'll bet if we had offered Lucky Stripes and Rebel Yell instead that we could have closed the sale.
In addition he made a rather odd inquiry about gathering soil samples from the ground beneath the urinal at the original Ragin' Cajun on Richmond.
"Not mother?!"
I'm an inside the loop effete snob. Anywhere within the western half of the 610 Loop is fine. I don't travel outside of that.
See, you go out perambulating around, when you got the sweet honey at home, and this kind of thing can happen.
Just how sweet is that honey? Is it as sweet as Tupelo honey?
They were on work loan to other hives around the neighborhood?
Didn't they have to open up the wall to get the hive out?
You'll have to cut the drywall out, remove the mess, then patch the walls. It's not difficult, but will likely be messy.
Don't get me wrong, the USMNT looked like shit for a good portion of the game. But some of the calls and non-calls were flat out laughable.
Whistle blows. Referees shake hands to congratulate each other on a job well done, 3 points delivered to the Tri.

I used it some when I lived in Montana. When my son was very young he loved the single-serving pizzas. Some of their stuff is good and some isn't so hot. It's a more-expensive version of frozen entrees. It was a big deal when the Schwan's truck would come to town, but mainly for the variety, since we only had one tiny grocery store in town.

I just want to know if you've found a tub yet.
Does that mean the start time is somewhere between 7:30 and 8:30, or is that the interval in which we are welcome...kinda like "Caddies Welcome: 4:00-4:15"?
I actually use them to wash things, dogs, children, whatever.

You want to be really bothered by it? Next time it comes on, watch and realize that it's not even that d-bag's voice. It's an overdubbed voiceover from someone else. Once you notice the clumsy syncing between his stupid mouth and the disembodied voice, you won't be able to un-notice it.
Then consider the fact that guy looks absolutely nothing at all like the typical person who would do that shit to their car. There is nothing – I mean not one fucking thing – that makes any fucking sense whatsoever in that commercial.

Yes, that is a wash tub. They are all over every Lowe's, Home Depot, Garden Ridge, Ace Hardware, etc, I've ever been too. I'm a little puzzled as to why you can't seem to find one. I have one in my garage.

If your husband was caring and attentive to your needs (aka did every crazy think you asked him to while not holding your crazy hormonal mood swings against you), then he earned the right to be pregnant with you, IMO. The longest ten months of my life...but WELL worth every minute of it in the long run.
Some people seem themselves as a couple being pregnant, I guess I'm one of them.
And what does painting this forum pink and whatnot have to do with what I said?

The list of the best rock drummers today starts and ends with Mike Portnoy. The rest line up for who's next best. I'm not sure what type of grip he uses, however.
Only during the breakdown of In the Air Tonight. He'll also occassionally do drum duets in concert.
You no longer consider Peart great?
I'm far from a drumming expert, but didn't Vinny Caluita play on "Fields of Gold" by Sting? Hard to get simpler than that, yet I once had a very good drummer tell me, it's very hard to play something so simple perfectly. In other words, with great musicians, it's not always about showing off your chops, or shredding, or whatever. Playing simple when appropriate is part of what makes one good, perhaps...
He was already famous in Liverpool for his drumming abilities. And again, I'm thinking of how well his style worked with the Beatles' music. Eddie Van Halen could outshred the Fab Four, but would he be the right choice for them?
I agree 100%. I think most "serious" people find it more interesting than they are willing to admit.
Who was a great drummer in Liverpool in 1963? In any case, Ringo was in the band because he fit in with band which was important when you were dealing with John and Paul and George who were all ego-maniacs to some extent. Ringo played on a lot of the post-Beatle records of those guys, even when they could of hired anyone, because they liked him and they like the way he played.
He has a nice simple style that fit the Beatles perfectly. He's not Neil Peart or John Bonham, but neither of those guys would have worked in the Beatles.
No, I believe that goes to this guy:

Ringo is a great drummer.
No, that guy actually lives in my building and he is a solid 25 pounds lighter than me. That ain't it.

If you're going on actual taste, Carls whoops In-and-Out's scrawny ass. But of course, it isn't as "cool."
And if you're going to a Roscoe's, go to one with black people in it, not the one in Dena.
Ok, I have one shot to get this right. 24 hour trip to LA. Landed at noon today and leave at noon tomorrow. I want to hit In-and-Out before heading back to the airport ... "animal style", etc. or just a regular burger to get the true experience?

Nominated. This also reminds me of a disturbing sex ed video from that 70's I watched in junior high health class where a kid is shamed by the size of an elephant's penis. Then the zookeeper talks about how animals aren't hung up on penis size, and how people would do well to be less self-conscious about this. Then I think the kid jerks off in the library bathroom stall after looking at prints of Renaissance art. Did anyone else watch this? I was disgusted/fascinated with that video for like a year afterwards. Oh, and a TMBG concert destroyed my hearing, but I still like them.
Your 1995 autobiography Endless Highway is a hugely entertaining read. At one point you describe being pecked in the balls by a parrot, Then, on another occasion, a huge dog bites your penis. What is the appeal of the Carradine nether regions to the animal kingdom?
Fortunately, it was just a gesture on the dog’s part. He wasn’t really trying to bite it off, he was just trying to show me who’s boss.
And then you punched him?
Yeah.
You mean to tell me girls don't get a running kick to the ass from one of their friends every few hours?
Really. It cracked me up, and I don't know Joey (or his friend) one bit. Typical guy behavior.
Every once and awhile you just need a random "Fuck You" from a friend for no apparent reason. Keeps things in order.
You don't drink, so you've never passed out at a party. You would pray for a traffic cone to the shin as opposed to what's likely going to happen in that scenario.
oh my dearest holly, you're not a guy.
no, but very late saturday night i was walking home from (or to-- i can't remember) a bar with a friend of mine. we were having an unassuming conversation and then, all of a sudden, my friend picks up an orange parking cone from the side of the street and throws it at me. one of those giant orange cones, and the bottom part hits me right on the bone on the side of my calf. "what the fuck is wrong with you? why did you do that?" i yell, hobbling around. my friend shrugs and giggles, "i don't know." "that fucking hurts!" i tell him, pulling up my pantleg to reveal my bleeding leg. "pussy," he says back to me.

Restaurant? Wow. That was a full lifetime ago. We sold that dump and left that silly ass lifestyle 8 years ago or so.
And that's not correct anyway, you knew damn well that I became a CPA. We talked about the exam before.
Sold the restaurant, went to grad school, got my CPA, started at a firm, hated it, went into financial advice (at the firm), left the firm to start my own place, that morphed into a biz where I was setting up advisory firms in house for CPAs around the nation, which morphed into my current biz of doing compliance consulting for investment advisory firms. We're something like the 3rd or 4th largest firm of its kind in the country now. Got lucky. Right place, right time sort of thing. No complaints.
Wow, so many answers to that.
In what sense?

Is he invited to the Pants Party?
So Cooper went against his very own words because I guess he felt Smith was going to give him nothing. Or something because he has not rested Tejada yet.
It's Biggio in his last year type of slow and rangeless.

You shouldn't have edited your responses..."Whatever Happened, Happened."
Ummmm...I thought this was the NON SPOILER THREAD???
"Here, Manny. Pee on this stick and tell me if you see a blue line."
So, according these sources it was human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).
HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.
Other interesting part of the story,
Last fall, Canseco pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense of trying to bring HCG across the border from Mexico and was sentenced to 12 months' unsupervised probation. A self-admitted and longtime steroids user, Canseco said he sought the drug to try and restore his testosterone level.
So is this really legal, with a prescription?
So anyone sitting on the can is a roids suspect?
at least they are not listing him as the 4th worst pitcher.. oh wait that would be a good thing
That's pretty much me with every video game. I bought an old x-box to kill some time playing Madden a few years ago. I picked up Halo because a few of my buddies were always raving about it. Every time I tried it I spent three minutes spinning around in circles staring at the ceiling quickly running out of ammo until I was killed. Not particularly fun.
Gauntlet Legacy. "RED WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY!"
My favorite 4-player game was Power Stone 2. You can be a chef that turns into a pink dinosaur and beats people with trumpets or lightsabers...while you're running down the corridor in an ancient tomb trying not to get squashed by boulders (a la Indiana Jones). Damn, I might just have to get one of those on eBay just to play that again. Crazy Taxi was awesome too.
So it looks like we found both people who ever purchased a Dreamcast, right here in this thread.
Who's the guy, and how is something like that even possible?
If only there was a coherent thought checker too.
what took you so long to post this? they lost Opening Day.
Well if you're going to reference Suddenly Suckfest...I don't know what Nestor Carbonal (sic) is. I'm reasonably certain that Richard Alpert (RA) is going to turn out to be from ancient Egypt.
Richard is Egyptian. It's why he wears the eyeliner.
Season 1 was fantastic. Season 2 was wretched. Season 3 was marginally better. Season 4 was as bad as Season 2. Season 5 is worse than Season 2 and Season 4 combined. I don't care if Kate's jealous of Juliette and Jack's jealous of Sawyer. The little love quadrilateral they're pimping makes me want to puke. I want to know the numbers mean and how Hurley got them to win the lottery. I want to know the connection between Hurley and the woman from the tail section that was in the mental hospital with him. I want to know what became of Bernard's wife's cancer. I want them to wrap up the storylines they've left open for 3 years now. They may have a plan, but they've dragged it out for so long now, that people have simply lost interest. A show like that cannot go on indefinitely, getting more and more complicated, adding more and more ancillary characters. They started with a great storyline, fascinating characters and brilliant writing. Then they completely fucked it up, and even if they somehow manage to cram 5 seasons worth of explanation and story wrapup into the last 20 episodes, they've fucked up what could have been an all time great.
back safe and anyone who wants to claim their sand can come do my laundry.. carry on
Dear Lord! It looks like he was schtupping Buffalo Bill!
If by "info", you mean "unable to read the number of outs", then I agree.
What are you more memorable experiences from Opening Day and (they don't have to be good ones)?
For me, it came when I attended the Baltimore Orioles' Opening Day in 2003, my first season away from the Houston area. The game was delayed by snow. It made me miss Minute Maid Park even more.
It actually reached House of Pies before his bar mitzvah.
That's all news to me. But if they use the same crew who built the new Wembley, it'll be ready in 2022.
I felt the same way (about DoRay being generic and hard to tell apart) until this offseason. After listening to JD & Dave's Excellent Offseason Adventure, Dave Raymond sort of grew on me. I haven't been able to listen to any of the spring training games, so we'll see come Opening Day if I can now tell them apart.
That said, I definitely prefer them to Milo. Road games are so much easier to listen to and follow than the home games. And of course, Brown/Deshaies beats them all.
That is really cool. Definititely a worthwile cause.
Might also be driven by a desire to shift stock prior to a new model coming out in July...which will be locked down and thus the wailing and gnashing of teeth will resume.
not to derail the texmex express or anything
but has anyone been to the house of blues sunday gospel brunch?
Kris tried this out over the weekend. It froze whlle she was trying to enter the lineup, and never unfroze. She's got a relatively old I-phone, so maybe it would work on a newer model. I'm still delaying the purchase of the I-Pod touch until Holly's scoresheet gets beta tested by the knowledgeable folks here at SnS.
Not sure if it counts, but when I was about 7 my sister who is 9 years older than I said "If you hurry up and take your bath, I'll teach you a new card game called 52 card pickup." So I hauled ass. Sister shows the deck of 52 cards and sprays them on the floor and tells me to pick them up. I was pissed. Mom even made me pick them up. That made me more pissed off. I've spent the remainder of my life getting even with my sister. Not like like I nurse a grudge or anything.
Oh well, I lose. That does help explain why men like the Three Stooges.
How about Airplane or The Naked Gun? Dumb and Dumber? Those are easily in my top 50 favorites. Then again I also think The Three Amigos is a comic masterpiece, which I should probably not admit to.
So with you on this one. The appeal of the stooges is completely lost to me.

Nah, they've been Intel for over 3 years. There are refurbs available currently, starting at $419:

I score because 1) it's enjoyable to do while watching the game, 2) it gives me a running in-game box score without looking anything up, and 3) it gives me a keepsake of sorts from the games I've been to. But I do see your point about the details it offers; not really something I need, but I can see where others would want that. Thanks.
Apple made it very clear that, despite now allowing for in-app charges, any free app stays free. It's a bit annoying because it doesn't allow for full previews of apps before buying but then, if it made perfect sense, it wouldn't be Apple.
I'm just curious -- the browsing aspect pre-sale makes sense, but would y'all really want to download other people's scorecards from games you didn't attend? I score every game I go to in person (college or pro) and keep them for posterity, but I don't really care about having scorecards from other games. If I'm curious about what happened in a previous game, it's just as easy (and probably more dependable) to pull up the box from the team's website. Or am I missing something?
I work with a pretty big developer on some web extensions to their apps, and I can tell you that integrating your app with scripting on a web server is a great way to go. It scales well, and there are unlimited possibilities for what you can do. At the very least, saving your scorecard data to an account on the app's website for later recall and printing is ideal.
Another approach is to have a dedicated app for the desktop, which syncs with the iPhone version of the app for saving, printing, etc. Cultured Code does this with Things, though it's a Mac app only. Not sure what the feasibility is of doing a single iPhone app that integrates with Windows and Mac desktop versions, but there are probably examples I don't know of.
You could push "missing" scorecards for selected teams to users. So if you miss an Astros game, you will automatically get someone else's card from that game pushed to your iPhone. One downside would be that scallywags might upload fake cards just for a laugh...
Just an idea for you: the A2DP support means that you could add some peer-to-peer functionality to your app. Maybe something as simple as being able to send a scorecard to another iPhone, or perhaps being able to save the cards to a desktop. What about printing the scorecard now?
The ability to copy and paste just made it easier for a user to enter the starting line-ups at least.

I believe the new iteration of the OS will be Intel only.
I think the mini has only just gone to Intel, so it may take a while for refurbs to filter through.
I highly recommend a refurb. I have no idea why anyone buys a brand new one.
I'll give it a whirl for you too. As a registered developer, did you download 3.0 beta yet?
None that I can think of right off hand, but I can tell you that I'm a big fan of ScorePad. They've done a very nice job with that program.
I'll test it for you. If I don't have to jailbreak my iPhone.
I'll test it for you. If I don't have to jailbreak my iPhone.
Hopefully with a much better UI.
tell me how you know that based on what we know from published reports.
Yeah, yeah, but do they have Rogers DNA stained on McNamees blue dress? That there would be some evidence. Pettitte probably sent all his clothing to the dry cleaners when this story broke.
Goes live on April 2. For now, there's only the "Lite" service, which is results and box scores only, but it's free. Half season cost last year was $10, so this year it should be $20+.
ETA: I presume that streaming audio will be available for the Touch over WiFi, as are the video clips. The app is probably less useful to Touch owners, though, because if you are in a WiFi hotspot, you probably have access to a computer and/or TV anyway. FWIW, I believe MMPUS is a hotspot, but I think there's a subscription charge.
This year, the app is adding streaming PBP, with the option to listen to either team's broadcast.
Nice.
Can you make a function with an annoying noise that only teens can hear and will run away from?
One thing you're going to have to figure out is how to get the scorecard off the iPhone and onto paper, as I presume people will want to keep a hard copy of the games they score.

I was just clarifying what I was looking for in case others wanted to give me a suggestion. I currently have a laptop, but would like to purchase a handheld device with a stylus or touchscreen. Not an iPhone or any other phone device.
What I am looking for is an in-game scorekeeping program that I can take to the game instead of keeping a paper scorebook. Sorry I was not more descriptive earlier.
Speaking of, I would like to buy a scorekeeping/stats program for baseball. Any suggestions?
I have looked for a scorekeeping app, and I've never found one either. Seems to me that the iPhone is ideally suited for this application because: (a) it has an infinitely customisable touch screen GUI; and (b) the screen is impervious to Shiner and queso.

My sister is inexplicably interested in rugby. She just told me that Ireland was "top of the table in the six nations". Should I be concerned?
I wish I hadn't clicked on that link. Anyone who thinks Rick Barnes needs to be fired, is a fool. Anyone who'd make a web page about that is a shit stain on the fabric of society.
Not that one has to do with the other but I found the following from basketball-reference.com, interesting.
Twenty-three Longhorns have played in the NBA, in it's entire history. Eleven have played for Rick Barnes. He recruited all those but Chris Mihm, and maybe Chris Owens--I can't remember.

According to Yahoo Answers:
Te quiero" and "Te amo" are both phrases that serve to say "I love you."
"Te quiero", however is a flexible phrase. It has a direct translation of "I want you" and therefore has more of a sexual flair than "Te amo." At the same time, "Te quiero" can also be used amongst family and friends.
(Ex. as a closing for a Mother's Day card or on a friend's birthday card)
"Te amo" always means "I love you" in a romantic manner which is meant to be used between couples or people that have romantic feelings for one another.

Landry's Restaurants. (LNY; about 17,000 employees; stock down 66%). This restaurant chain, which operates Chart House, Rainforest Café, and other eateries, needs $400 million in new financing to finalize a buyout deal dating to last June. If lenders come through, the company should have enough cash to ride out the recession. But at least two banks have already balked, leading to downgrades of the company's debt and the prospect of a cash-flow crunch.

My apologies if this should go in the B&Q section.
If they can make a movie from "Fast Food Nation", they can make one from "Moneyball". And I'm ok if they go "Under the Tuscan Sun" with it, as long as this time Diane Lane gets her norks out.
Use an iPod Touch. You can pick up a refurbished one from Apple starting at $179.
Yes, and it's very helpful. You still want to test the app on an actual device, though, to be able to fully test the freakiness that can occur with memory usage and conflict with other apps. The emulator can cruise along through scenarios that crash an actual iPhone.
No, you definitely can. It's how beta testing is done.
Yes.
FWIW, I do not have the Pull My Finger" app on my iPhone.
It's a huge market, but there's a vast number and array of apps available now. Getting yourself noticed in the crowd is somewhat of a bugbear for many independent developers.
I suggest adding fart noises to whatever it is you're developing. Or maybe a spirit level. But I think fart noises would be better.
So... no pitch-count?
Of course, there's always a chance that Caesar will pinch-hit.
I think we're going on 14 hours so far.
"Looks like pitocin isn’t going to be necessary."
Is Pitocin the situational lefty?
It's not filtered through diamonds, it's filtered through "Hermiker diamonds", better known as quartz, commonly known in the bottling industry as "glass". Quartz crystals are very popular on the mystic and metaphysical scene though, so I don't know what supernatural powers they may hold. Other vodkas, including Diaka, are also filtered through real diamonds, which supposedly is a super fancy form of carbon filtration. I can't imagine it would make much difference, as only activated carbon has the surface area to do much in the way of actually absorbing chemicals. Filtering through diamonds has about the same effect as filtering it through, well, glass.
I will never purchase your cast-offs from Half Price Books. Sorry.
I also tend to take a cursory thhhhhhhb through a potential buy wary of bodily excretions. So I assume that rules out quite a number of the rest of you, too.
I almost went to USC... I was admitted to their business school but not their school of music, so I opted for UT.
It's unbelievable what an oasis that campus is in the middle of South Central.
Shut the fuck up, Donnie. The world does not start and stop at your convenience.
What's wrong with that? There are quite a few folks who think that USC is a much better club.
Yes, you can highlight (I know for certain) and make notes (I think).
What does he write?
Mrs. MM got one for Christmas - she loves it.
It's an old reference. 50 is the new 40.
In London, a common equivalent to the term "cougar", is "Billy Bonds". This is in reference to the West Ham Utd player who had a long career at the top level of the game. The rationale is that Bonds was "over 40 and still playing".
George Lowell was briefly in the Mothers of Invention. One day he played for Frank a song he'd been working on called Willin' and Frank proceeded to kicked him out of the band. Frank said he had been planing on kicking Lowell out of the band anyway because of his cocaine use, but when he realized what a creative force he was dealing with, he knew it was time for Lowell George to find a format for his own music.
She preferred Zito's slower delivery.
My bad, switching back to 4/4.

I once saw a screencap of the Bo Jackson sign... I'll scour the internets for it.
I have way too many pictures of the head, including the son of the subject getting his shitty diaper changed on his Dad's enormous cardboard face at a tailgate. What little remains of my appropriateness filter - and certain federal statutes - require that I not post that picture. Here's one of my kids holding it instead, craftily maintaining his online anonymity, just like his old man taught him.
Apropos of not much, if anyone has a chance to go to Gameday tomorrow, make the biggest, stupidest sign you can, and park your ass in front of the cameras. It's pointless but wonderful. At the Texas/Ohio St. game, we brought a sign that was nothing more than the giant head of one of our friends professing his love for another of our friends, and it was roughly 1000x more wonderful than I could have imagined. After 45 minutes of camera time, dozens and dozens of phone calls from people we hadn't talked to in forever, the utter befuddlement of Chris Fowler, the drunken support of 100's of random people, and a tremendous bonding experience with a guy who had inside information on Bo Jackson's pregame eating habits, I truly felt complete as a person. Completely drunk. Try it, it's liberating.
Maybe it's because i have daughters but i find that whole schoolgirl thing a little disturbing.
I was in Tokyo this past January and all the women wore short skirts or shorts in 35 degree weather. It was astounding. Next time I go back I want to go during their baseball season to catch a game as it sounds very interesting.
Along with Eric the Red or Trever Miller.
When my jaw gives way, will just stick it between my toes (old college trick, NCAA does not allow tobacco products...gotta do what you gotta do). I think that lays to rest any image questions that may have been lingering
Huh? I'd live there if your meter weren't broken.
What a horrible atmosphere....
So you agree that the point is $30-40M have no cumulative expense for their annual taxes? That's all I'm surprised about. I can care less when someone makes their tax payments (through payroll withholdings, quarterly payments, etc.) ... this group owes nothing at all, ever.
Where do you get "at filing time"? I've not seen that anywhere.
Sorry, but you're still wrong. This has nothing to do with "year-end" liability. This is liability for the year. Completely different.
You're missing the Earned Income Tax Credit. Calculator
That alone is worth $3100 for this family. Since the basic tax table suggested the tax for $25k would be $3358 ($7825@10% + $17175@15%) once you deduct child credits then the EITC, this person would have actually received a check from the IRS
Wow. You Austinites are getting hosed. I pd. $2.99 last nite in suburban Dallas.
Alright, we need an arbitrator. I'm pretty sure liability has no relation to withholdings. Those with $0 liability either paid nothing in withholdings and owe nothing, or paid something and will get 100% of it back in a tax return.
One of us is misunderstanding my link (and I think it's you!) ...
My understanding is that these filers had $0 liability.
So yes, you paid $8000 and thus you're not in that 33% who pay no taxes. These are people who either pay no withholdings or get every cent they did pay back.
Furthermore, the link Biz provided suggests that Obama's credits will payout regardless of liability. So, if they had $1 deducted, they they get their $1 back AND a $4000 check for their college tuition, a check worth 10% of their mortgate interest, $3000 for childcare expenses, etc. This is not tax credits, it is wellfare.
That is not my understanding. Any federal taxes withheld, they're getting back in a refund.

Need to find a source, but I believe I've heard that 1/3rd of US citizens that submitted a tax return last year did not pay ANY tax at all. If true, the wealthy, therefor, could not possibly pay less proportionally than the vast majority of the population.
They glossed over this from para 4?
Ten years ago. Many of us are still here. Time flies.
Bring it strong!
Wrong. "What's taxable?" or "what's income?"
"Oh, sorry... who are you then? - Your hansome man" (the last part is loosely translated. "Guapito" or "Guapo" is usually what is said about a man by a woman to mean in paraphrase "He's handsome" or "He's hot", that sort of thing.
Correct. Also, if you give your kid a long name, don't get all worked up when people shorten it for ease of use.
I should've saved you a lot of typing by clarifying that I know what it is, I just don't get it.
"I need another word for face, for some reason. What rhymes with face?"
"Leather case? Car chase? Boat race?"
"Boat race. Boat. Yeah. That makes no sense at all. That's good. Use it in a sentence?"
"I will administer approximately two closed hand strikes to your boat."
"Oh, that's gold. Let's tell everyone."
If you know cockney rhyming slang, her knocked-up daughter being called "Bristol" is fucking hilarious.
Hopefully it doesn't mean "Thanks for confirming this as a live account. Please do not check you next bill."
Rule of thumb is: never respond to random texts or spam emails. All you do is confirm that someone is on the other end, and the best thing that can then happen is that your number/email gets sold on to many, many more spammers. They pay higher prices for anything that's recently been confirmed as live.
I think all four candidates are atrocious, so I'm not biased by any particular political affiliation. Palin's children's names are individually among the most ridiculous I have ever seen and collectively are just mind-blowing. Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, Piper. Forget anything about how experienced she is vs. Obama or Biden - this is a terrifying display of judgment.
Not a big fan of Palin but I feel she is taking heat on this matter because she is a mom and not the dad. If the baby was brought on stage after the dad debated, it wouldn't even hit the radar.
On the other hand, am I the only one who finds it cruel that she has named a developmentally delayed child Trig?
I'm not a mom (yet, fingers crossed) so I'll let someone else opine. Warning: Huffington Post
I can't for the life of me come up with a reason that doesn't seem like the kid is a prop. I think that baby should be with a babysitter in his crib.
FIFY.
Some of the comments on the first linked article claim that Backe may have a broken jaw and that the kid who was at the centre of it all is in ICU with possible brain damage.
USC is getting pretty good at letting shitty unranked teams ruin their season.
The ironing board is awesome.
Did you purposefully omit the Governor of Illinois from your 'searing-hot hatred' list?
Wow, I'm impressed. That said, I have no idea what you do.
No Beowulf, mostly just vanilla HP DL585's with Linux. Lots of 'em. I'm not much in the modelling side of the shop though so I don't get to see the toys too often. Really cool stuff like the FSU superensemble runs on a neural net to handle its non-linear statistical data modeling toolset. For BizidyDizidy, that how they handle the model relationship between data input, expected output (vs. what actually happens -- yes, we actually look out the widow sometimes to see what happens) and to find data patterns. We like repeatable patterns.
10 years ago, maybe. Cray then IBM and very cheap multi-node server arrays changed that a while ago.
Man, that fucker is going to hit Arkansas too. You didn't hear much about it on the news, but Gustav fucked up Arkansas pretty bad. We got 11 inches of rain and when the ground got saturated, the trees started falling. All our Entergy crews got sent to Louisiana before Gustav hit, then when our lines went down there was no one here to fix them. Now the ground is still saturated and it looks like Ike is coming right up I-30.
But I realize it's nowhere near what you guys are facing down there. Good luck everyone.
Maybe they should of called it 8th Street school then!
A disturbance in a diner? I feel a Walter Sobchak reset coming on...
Are they on the same cycle?
Do we want to have political discussions on this board or not?
I cant get teh picture to come up...is it of Bones?? Is it a good one??? Something about that square jaw that makes me want to work in her lab
In the UK, flavours of crisps (chips) are all over the place. My fav. was prawn cocktail.
Chickity china, the Chinese Chicken
Into Maddona, A-Rod will be stickin...
Watchin' Evita with no lights on, with no pants on
Call the CDC on that one.
Not to defend anyone, but even if the story is true about A-Rod trying to get to Vegas, it doesn't necessarily mean he was going there to gamble. Maybe he was going to see Pete Rose (if you saw the recent espn.com story of the unusual friendship between Rose and Rod).
Congrats Holly!
I'd like to know what you think a PR person is if not a corporate yes-man.
Don't lump the common labor unions in with the MLBPA, please.
"Based on the information we have to date, we believe the Astros' response violates the basic agreement," union general counsel Michael Weiner said.
[Wade] knew full well that Chacon wasn't going to do what he asked.
So, why do it? Why not just leave it alone? Wouldn't that have been a better decision?
Jeter vouches for Chacon:

Better than being Mitch Melusky, a one-time prospect that was given a chance to excel in the bigs, but found himself floudering a little, had to leave and made a comeback in the minors and eventually a September comeback with the Astros.
On the plus side, Milo isn't leering at you. (Which is really just an excuse for me to state how absolutely disgusted I was when Milo was droning on about his date today with Yvette. Yeeeeeech!)
me either.
I got my tats in Austin, but I have about 20 friends that have been very very pleased with SH.
wait, so you're not talking about your dog?
you offended my sensibilities also.
WAY, WAY TMI
Next what?
I friggin cannot stand dogs being in the house...
Sorry, but getting a rose on your shoulder or Frosty the Snowman on you left butt cheek doesn't qualify as a "real" tatoo.
I've been to Tuscon, Tehachapi and Tonopah. Tucumcari is on my list if I can find a way. One of my favorite Feat songs.
You can be sure that Milo will try to sing at least Celebrate and maybe Jungle Boogie.
She's never proofread her posts previously, why would she start now?
some of the great ones have a\fallen low this year
Are you asking if the face value of the tickets is going to drop in the next week?
"...it's just that when you're regulars are not in, it seems like there's not as high intensity of play."
Burgers are on a wheat bun, which is really good. But they're nothing to go crazy over. But try one with Swiss cheese and spicy mustard. It's pretty good.
Lankford Grocery isn't as good as Beck's Prime, IMO. Never had Christian's Totem. Folks at the office rave about District 7, but while their burgers are OK, they're nothing spectacular. I can walk there for lunch though (and I can just as easily walk to Beck's Prime in the tunnel).
I hope that the shit includes more pictures of various celebrities with their arms around me. Can't wait.
No Munro, Saarloos, Lidge, Dotel or Wagner in the bullpen anymore and no Biggio, Bagwell, Kent, Hidalgo, Merced, Vizcaino or Everett in the lineup seems like a good place to start...
The "problem" with Houston, is there's really nothing interesting here for visitors.
Native Houstonian here...can't stand Goode Co. Never have liked it.
Of course, I like Pizzatola's and Luling City Market, so what do I know?
never have been able to listen to Palilo's show...his voice drives me insane. How the hell do you get on radio with a voice like that???
No shit. Was at a winery in Johnson City and they make a 5-blend that they call "Cinque". Now, I (used to) speak a little French, so I pronounced it "Sank". Of course, they make Italian wines, so they pronounced it "Chin-qway". How do you pronounce "D'oh" in Italian?
Bourn off to a nice start with a bloop single.
so why are you complaining about it, then?
We're gonna need a bigger sack.
Great drinks with the best ice. Food is horrible.
Villarreal's 4HR/9IP looks better and better.
Where are they playing? I don't recognize the daytime backdrop behind home plate.
must be the vig
"Berkman - who, let's face it, has been a running at the mouth machine..."
When did you think you'd hear that phrase?
So explain to me again why MLB is not using Houston as an opening day city?
I guess I'm just old school. Of course, I'm not a product of the lackey bushneck public schools in Texas, so perhaps my learning multiplication *before* grad school was out of the ordinary.
All split tails at my house. Good going, Holly.
On an unrelated note...I hear that the Dave Clark Five are being inducted into the Rock n Roll HOF. That's like Bob Horner getting into Cooperstown.
Das weiß ich schon. Und da können die wirklich gutes Bier brauen. Hoffentlich ist ‚,Shiner Helles“ solches.
Helles is actually German for "bright" not "light"
