Good buy for the County. Once all these manufacturing jobs return to the USA, that site will be a gold mine. :) (serious: if they can clean that site up, more access to the waterfront is a great thing)

Dude, SPOLIERS! LOL. Hot on the heels of my CD ripping tear I went on over the past few weeks, I've started doing the same for Bluray/DVDs. My PS3 is broken so I haven't actually had a convenient way to watch any of them in quite awhile. Only player I have is my wife's laptop with an HDMI cable, USB BD-ROM drive, and some balancing on furniture near the TV. What really kicked it off was Plex, server software to stream video to various devices (PS3, Chromecast, app, web, FireTV, etc.). Installed it on my wife's laptop to try it out and it's pretty slick. Requires some massaging of file names to aid it matching the movie file, but after that it's just a matter of doing some MakeMKV work to get them all copied on. I've gone further and took an older laptop (10 years or so) and turned that into a server for this so it can just hide in a corner of the room and stream movies whenever I want. I copied Das Boot, Great Escape, Forbidden Planet, and Lawrence of Arabia in last night along with MrsPie's stuff (making her happy gives me more rope to work on my own stuff. :))

Cool! I used to fly model airplanes at that field back when I was a kid. It's only a few miles from my parents' house.

I'm just surprised Nashville would flaunt the CBA for Arvidsson. He's a nice player and all, but not the guy I'd risk legal action to sign for that money.

MS Paint is being discontinued. One of us should call Randall to make sure he has a contingency plan for making his awesome hockey analysis stills.

You're being a homer. :) Realistically, six of those players (all wings) aren't NHL players yet. I like Mittelstadt, Nylander to make it. I'd guess one of the remaining four make it. If two of the four do, that beats the odds.

Fusion would be very cool if they can get it work, but right now it's tough to tell whether it's the future or alchemy. In the mean time, we better be sprucing up wind, solar, tidal, and reducing energy usage.

Could very well be; in Nashville so it's either that one or 2015-2016 season.

A local brewery has decided to make a name for itself by teaming up with a local canoe/kayak outfitter to hold Sunday afternoon beer gardens every week this summer. Nice shady location along a creek with shelters, live music, games, and kids activities, and a food truck. The beer is pretty good too! They have a mango ginger IPA that's solid and not overdone. Their two more standard IPAs are very drinkable too. Side node: Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak. Wow.

There was a long stretch of time in school where I didn't write in full sentences, only code and math. :)

M-x spelling-nazi-mode I noticed 'descent' in another of your posts; once is a fluke, two is a pattern. We all express ourselves more and more with the written word, so I correct you as a friend that wants everyone to come off in the best light. Please don't think I'm a jerk. Descent: to proceed downwards, a derivation from a predecessor, etc. "His descent into madness and despair", "The trail being muddy made for a perilous descent." "He is of French descent" Decent: respectable, adequate, conforming to norms. "It was a decent interview." "He's a decent guy" "The beer at Pearl Street is decent, but they are coasting on seniority and location."

sed, awk, and grep are your friends. :)

Alternate caption of the picture in the video preview: Parallel Universe Ryan Miller and Danny Briere Band. Am I the only one that sees that? I'm envisioning Bisbee, AZ, if anyone has been there.

Nothing in the article about grassy scrubland or anyone named "Heath". I'm disappointed.

I agree, that's what most of us want too. I'm just not sure the economics work out that you're not going to end up paying $300 in subscriptions.

Note on playoffs: Youtube TV signed up NBC, so it looks like for $35 month (no commitment), you should be able to get NBC and its hench-networks and see the majority of the playoffs. I'd guess NHL Network won't be on there so games there may be tricky. On VPNs: the NHL wrote some language into the agreement that using a VPN for NHLtv could result in loss of service and a $400(?) cancellation fee. I'm not sure if they enforce that; I'd be inclined to take my chances.

I'd love if this came to pass. It won't unless the entire cable/satellite business model implodes. NBC and Rogers alone are paying the NHL $240M per year for broadcast rights. I have a hard time believe there are enough people that are going to seek out the NHL online that advertisers are going to trip over themselves to pay for "air" time. Just doing the math, $240M means you need nearly 5 million people to shell out $50 each per year. That's a lot. Only two of the six SCF games this year drew more people than that; if there aren't enough people dedicated to watching the finals, I doubt you're going to find enough that are going to shell out. This doesn't even take into account local deals. The largest TV deals are $30-$45M per year, my very-ballpark figures that the 31 teams' local deals bring in at least another $300M.

Best quote, by a friend upon original watching of voyager: "I see a couple Borg implants they missed." Just because.

Cory was much more of a Tampa Bay legend. We picked him up off the scrap heap and then tossed him back next to MAG.

As much as I want to like Zemgus, using him as the bar is only borderline NHL player at this point.

Mine too. The left one not as much after falling on some ice and spraining it a few years ago. Oddly, the other joint on both my thumbs never belt correctly (it barely does). Can I still be human with only semi-opposable thumbs?
