wasn't able to watch the NSP stack fall in person, was stuck at home, thankfully they covered it on TV. I live about a mile from it and heard the two booms one when they blew it and one when it landed...the time delay was amazing...I saw it blow on the news....several seconds later I heard it...I saw it crash to the ground and several seconds later heard the loud boom....then the dust cloud went up and all the people on the high bridge go running from the "dangerous" dust cloud, made me chuckle

If I were him, I would have found somebody to market the film, and theaters that would play it...

I'd title it something like "The Truth About Midgets"...

cause Ive always wondered what kinda "junk", they got going on....

Maybe thats why he's suing.....

He's embarassed about something....

Outrageous. Too often people with mental illness are treated like they don't count as a human being.

Sickening.

I can't believe that the kid was actually hitting on the chick who hit his girlfriend and left her to die in the street. Pathetic! He wanted to be arm in arm with the hit and run driver more than his own girlfriend laying on the ground. I didn't finish the tape so I don't know if he redeemed himself or not but it looked bad when I couldn't stand it any longer and had to X-out.

Found this to be a good discussion starter...

Rene Marie asked to sing National Anthem

turns out she combined the national anthem and the black national anthem for her own rendition...

wondering what you guys think..?

I understand she was making a statement.

However, to do so without permission when she was asked to do one thing and chose to do another is wrong.

Perhaps with permission she could have done both. This way she just appears to be a racial separatist.

she's trying to get famous, by doing something unexpected....

she'll be a one hit wonder...

nobody else will have her come sing, at their shindigs, if she does that kinda stuff, without telling/asking people...

Under the agreement, patients in the waiting room will now be checked every 15 minutes.

This is a rare occasion when someone falls dead on the floor - they can check every 15 minutes for ever and it won't happen again. Idiot security guards allowing people to sleep on the floor!!! sounds like the city needs another hospital OR this one needs to hire more staff to keep up with the demand of the sick.

Over the next four months, the hospital will attempt to shorten the median waiting time to around 10 hours.


BIG reason why I don't like emergency rooms- the long wait when the reason I would go to an emergency room is because it CAN'T WAIT for the next day to see a Dr.!!! DUH!!!

Well.. my concern is that, as Terry stated, she was asked to sing the National anthem, which is meant to unify America, regardless of race, creed, or color. It's an honor to be asked to sing the National Anthem, and to put your own creative spin on it is one thing, but to completely "change" it, is unpatrioctic.

All she did was make the "racial seperation" river a little wider, and showed that she has no respect for the country that offers unheard of freedom.

If anything, she will (should) be wiped of the music list, and she wont be anyone except for "that lady who disrespected america

235 mpg, apparently they use imperical scale in europe.

Also, it'll probably go down due to the concept having a 1 cylinder diesel. the productions will be 2 cylinder turbodiesel. Price of diesel is more than unleaded. And the car is lightweight enough that I wonder if it will be street legal here in the US.

I'm really not being pessimistic, just pointing out the obvious issues. Shoot if they came out with a 100 mpg car that made it's way to the market here (and not a prius mind you, I'm not thinking hybrid) I'd be impressed.

for cluey...use it or lose it!!!

If one can naturally engage in behaviors that increase blood flow to the penis, it will have a positive effect in preventing erectile dysfunction, Sadeghi-Nejad said.

Sadeghi-Nejad noted that the study only addressed intercourse, and not masturbation. "This is essentially the same concept," Sadeghi-Nejad said. "Anything you can do to bring blood to the penis is beneficial," he added.

That can't be the reason then since it's way over used the way it is. :sheepish:

We had a soft opening last week but the crowds will get even bigger now that the media has been notified. Yummmmmm!

The Original SoupMan Comes to Minneapolis, MN

During Barr's grand opening ceremony on July 15, one lucky customer will get the chance to win a free cup of soup every day for the rest of their life.

There's got to be a way Michael can fix this so I win

 :cool:

Maybe a quid pro quo type of situation :wink:

Hey CM, if you win the soup for a day, can I borrow your card from time to time. I don't mind being yelled at in a soup line, I've dealt with worse :cool:

Just a pre-news story.. On my way to work today between 44th and Arthur and 45th and Stinson, the road was closed and there were a whole bunch of cops and fire trucks there, and a few helicopters. Nick dropped me off, and went back to gawk...

Turns out some couple was having problems for awhile, and the husband shot his wife, and started his house on fire.

They seem to think that he was trying to kill himself.

The husband is in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A little scary when it happens too close...
