    Jack/IE - Can you clarify what we can/cannot ask about here?

    I was a little surprised to see a locked thread below on a topic that I had wanted to ask about. It was a pay for stats site I used for 5 weeks last year and really wanted to know what people thought about it, how it worked out etc. It was recommended to me by Nolan whose opinion I hold very...

    Ace is finally back! 2 plays tonight. (59-43-2 57% in 2002)

    Had a great year last year, though my handicapping was put on hold through last month due to the job search. Thanks to all the emails and kind words all of you had to send, it was pretty cool to hear from a lot of guys I had never met. I hope all of you are well and ready for another great NFL...

    Bush orders troops to take positions off Liberian coast

    One word for you: disaster. Country erupts in civil war, warlords ruling the countryside, mortars being rained all over the city and our embassy, almost a thousand dead in the streets - and our troops are supposed to do what? This is where an international peacekeeping force is needed, not...

    What the hell happened to David Duval?

    Just two years ago this week he won the British Open. He was at the top of the golfing world, annointed as the next rival to Tiger. He shoots 59 in one PGA tournament. Nike signs he and Tiger to huge endorsement deals, he even had his own ball for a while. This guy is off the map now. Shoots 83...

    Final proof Germans are idiots

    I spent three months in their lovely country enjoying their culture and beer back in 91, but this takes the cake - though it certainly is not stastically significant from a polling standpoint. BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- One-third of Germans under age 30 believe the U.S. government may have...

    Has George Bush watched Blackhawk Down?

    Sending troops into Liberia right now may be the single most ridiculous asinine thing I can think of right now.

    Pete Rose trial on ESPN

    I didnt see another thread on this, hope there wasnt one. Did anyone else watch this last night? Interesting the way the vote came out. 8-4 in favor of him being eligible to be elected into the HoF, 11-1 still believe he bet on baseball. One thing I learned last night is that none of the...

Its been outside in the 3 month deluge we had here in DC and never had a problem. On the 4th we had people over and it covers you in black dust whenever you sit...

    Need lawyer/business help - independent contractor or not?

    I am just finishing up a short contracting stint and deciding between two firms to work for as a full time independent contractor. In considering the first firm, while they hire as a fully independent contractor, they control where I work (in this case on site at one of two clients) though not...

    Star Wars Galaxies - any other beta testers out there

    Been hacking around for a month or so on this game. Wondering if anyone else out there has as well. I played EQ for two years straight and think this game will eventually blow it away.
