They stole the wheels from Nissan! Marxima? 370zed?

STOLE FROM MAXIMARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SHOULD BE BETTER!

i think this was around for vista? i have also heard that this can fuck your shit up.

It's been around in various forms since Win95. In some x64 cases it can cause instability, appears to be stable on most Win7 x64.

This whole state is a bunch of fuckin nancys. Schools already closing last night and 2 hour delays and more schools closed when I wake up in the morning and it isnt even snowing....this is why the ohio school system is ghey and worthless. Closing school and delaying school all the time. Bunch of pussys.

++++

Indeed. It's fucking snow, not even a lot of snow. 12", now there's a decent amount of snow.

I'm a member downtown. Having been a member at other gyms, the Y can be a little... special. More like the locker room/facilities at a great high school or college than a modern day "gym", which is fine for me because I could give a fuck about extra frills and flat screen TV's. I want to work out. There are TV's. Good enough.

They usually have a lot of great fitness classes included in the membership fee or more advanced (like swimming lessons) for a small fee. We like it, we're supporting a good cause.

The title of this thread has double meaning now.... thanks Bengals.

Yea, Cincinnati is kinda loser town right now...

We watched this last night and it was worth every minute. Thanks Eli.

The takeaway here is that all sugar should be consumed in moderation, which includes looking at basically everything you buy. HFCS, "sugar" (sucrose), and especially "fructose" which I've seen added in place of sugar and/or HFCS - especially in "diet" yogurt - are being added to almost everything we eat. It's not just limited to cutting out soda or fruit juice; in an effort to remove the fat from our food, it was replaced with carbs which taste bad, so sugar is added to offset the taste of carbs. Now you have every condiment, most packaged foods, heck even meat loaded with or treated with a sugar product. That's what he's saying - it's not a question of HFCS versus sugar, it's a question of EVERYTHING WE EAT being loaded with almost ANY KIND of sugar. We're simply eating too much sugar.

Add in a few other digestion-specific scientific issues, such as the negative effects on how sugar is metabolized in the presence of carbs, a lack of fiber which is natures natural check against negative digestion of sugar, and we're exacerbating the problem.

P.S. You should be getting a $50 credit toward your monitoring.

Really? I didn't know they did that, pretty cool. Thanks.

In other news, with chris' recomedation, I signed with Executive Security Systems. I called this morning, the owner came out tonight, the system will be installed tomorrow morning. His sales style differs from mine in the fact that he tends to criticize his competition more than is tasteful, but the price was right.

Awesome Ken, glad I could provide a useful recommendation. I agree that Doug's sales style is a little brash when discussing his competition, but I think in security systems you kinda have to be because the average homeowner isn't as educated as we are. Nevertheless, it's not exactly classy to lambaste your competitors - his product should and does speak for itself. :nod:

I didn't even think about that. Hopefully they have some cool commercials with both cars in it (old and new), playing off of that theme.

Yep, would be sweet.

Queue red '82 GT, pounding pavement. White '94 GT rolls in from the left, busting ass on the '82. Racing in from the right is the blue '89 LX convertible, holding ground with the other two. Roaring in fast from behind, the black '11 5.0, music uptempo as it passes all three to take the lead, all four now blistering across screen - end with Ford oval.

It's just stuff. We're fine, the cat is fine. We'll have a security system in by dark and a .45 by the bed.

 

The creakiest thing is that I woke up in the middle of the night (the night before) having a vivid dream about someone breaking in.

Yep, in the end it is just stuff. The inability to have comfort in our homes is tragic, and I *hate* that I chose to have a security system installed - but if it's enough to deter a criminal or worse give me a few seconds lead time against them it's worth it. One of those risk mitigation efforts I may never realize or understand the true value of, at least I hope I don't.

So after reading this thread when it was posted, and weighing my own options. My home was broken into tonight. It happened between 5pm-8pm, right after my wife left. The back door was kicked in, flat screen TVs and laptops were taken. They shuffled through every drawer and storage crate. Left my passport, unactivated credit card, and my wifes hidden jewelry.

 

Staying in a hotel tonight.

Ken, I'm so sorry. That's terrible.

Owner didn't pay rent or something to that extent.

Whoops!
