I'll pass this year. I've already got committments for other leagues, and haven't been as active in this forum lately. I was in League II.

Been catching up: Of course, I had "the world is round" issues with the whole thing - doesn't a straight line between Fred and this spot in the UK mostly flow underground? Yeah, but my feeling is that the damage would happen as they moved the casket. After reading over all of this...

Is there a website simular to IMDB that covers music? At worst something that perhaps lists all the american released albums in the past four decades? In particular I'd like to have the ability to sort music by genre and year, getting a list of artists that had hit songs during that time...

Ack! Atlanta's WB-36 (WATL) is airing Angel in zoomed mode to fill the screen. There are no bars on the top and bottom, and the WB logo has just its very left edge visible on the right side of the screen. I thought this was just a formatting error last week, but twice in a row spells trouble...

Connecter problems (usually where the connecter is soldered to the boards) tend to be intermittent and easily disturbed by vibration or tapping on them lightly with a non-conductive prob Interesting that you said this, because this morning the TV magically started working properly again...

Ok, no bites yet. I did a little searching, and found a repair website that listed a simular problem: Problem: Severe horizontal lines in video from Composite, tuner and S-video input modes. Component video is fine. Picture and picture are normal when using composite, tuner or S-video...

Paypal offers both credit and debit cards. I don't know about the credit version, but Paypal's debit card gives ~1% interest for balances held in their accounts as if it were a money market account, and 1.5% cashback for all credit type payments. On the cashback, you don't have to wait for...

Yup. New Spring is a short story that first appeared in the Legends collection. Its basically the early story of how Moiraine and Lan get together.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I just found out that Robert Jordan hasn't been spending the time since finishing Crossroads of Twilight on the next book in the series, what will be #11. Instead, he has been fleshing out his short story "New Spring" into a full novel. Jordan writes:

As long as you know which side is which, I don't see how this is an issue for you if you got a mislabeled copy. Not a real issue... just a small irritation to have the movie start with the rant about being resized for my television when I was expecting widescreen. :/

Just curious, but does anyone else have a copy of Air Force One (one side is P&S, the other Widescreen) that can check something? Usually on these two sided disks, the label around the ring describes what is on the opposite side of the disk, just as if the disk were one sided with a...

Keep a silica packet in your pocket, and all will be ok.

If you don't like your significant others, you could always put the antifreeze in their drink as this lady in Georgia apparently did to two of hers: Georgia Antifreeze Murders

Oh crap. Atlanta's Regal 24 has already sold out.
