    From the article: I'm always confused by this. There's "committed to the check" as in not being able to turn or stop, but watching the video somehow moving towards the player, crouching, and pushing the shoulder up into the player doesn't seem like "there's nothing I could do".

    Can we use "Le Toronto Francais" for them? Or "L'est Toronto"?

    I picked up a nice double bicycle trailer for the kiddo last weekend at a consignment sale. With the nice weather this week, I'm hoping to get her out in it tonight for a little to see how it goes. Hopefully everyone involved will be happy!

    Yep. Aldi , Wegmans, the local place that makes horseradish and mustard (and horseradish mustard; move over Webers), everyone.
  5. MattPie
    Obligatory.

    You'd think with the PhD he'd know to put the Exec Summary or Abstract at the top! :) :)

    The turdburger fits Rex.

    s/Pommen/Pommin/ gets the stein.
  9. MattPie
    Yep, that one.

    At that point, why not just popular vote. A proportional EC just ends up being a bit more "power" for small states and adding a bunch of rounding error.

    Victory has built two new facilities in the last few years, a new restaurant in Kennet Square and the just-opened Parkesburg plant/pub, I'd be surprised if they closed up shop in SE PA. http://www.victorybeer.com/2015/12/tour-victorys-parkesburg-brewing-facility-today-make-stop-new-brewpub/

    I saw a documentary about babies last year and a mom in Africa used a corn cob to clean up the kiddo. If this stretches into the summer it might help.

    It seems to me that being better than six teams, or 20% of the league, is pretty much the definition of mediocre. As in, "barely adequate". Bad, medicore, OK, good, top-shelf, each in six-team blocks.
  14. MattPie
    Yep, figured that out after posting. I'm as bad as the media. :)

    My Nexus 6 (and my wife's Galaxy) preclude me from taking a hard look at this, but from what I saw the coverage map looks like AT&T. That means large swaths of PA where I end up driving and riding are 2G. The web site mentioned two LTE networks, but didn't say which they were. Anyone know who the partners are? EDIT: Nope, Sprint and T-mobile. I'm not sure they'd cover my usage very well.

    Only if you write up a hammered game summary after.

    For some reason, Dennis Leary springs to mind.

    I have a few in a tin somewhere left over from when I used to travel to NYC; the NJ Path ticket machines would give them back as change. I even got a few Susan B Anthony daolars back from those here and there (in the late 90s/early 00s).

    Get Paul Byron in there too!

    There's a reason I don't start GDTs, apparently. :)

    I don't think I've ever started a GDT. Wildcard didn't ask me to, he's got visions of figures, words, and diagrams dancing in his head for mid-terms. And not even good figures or diagrams. Buffalo comes home after a mildly chippy shoot-out win against the Marlies last night, looking to give the Rangers fits and cause Henrick to flip his net for some reason. http://sabres.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2015020993 Odds are Lehner is in net for the back-to-back. Whether the Rangers will go Swede for Swede remains to be saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdGA8wXWPd0

    I'm confused by a couple things in that. Fairly early, the announcer says "player X can't come off the bench or he'll be suspended", while there are 75 guys fighting on the ice. Where did everyone but the initial 12 guys on ice come from? During the penalty announcements, they must have thrown 6 guys out. Do you think Carbonneau got ribbed a bit that he only got 2 minutes for roughing while everyone else got 4, 5, 10, or games? And, none of the teams we consider rivals consider us their main rivals. TOR/MON, BOS/MON, PIT/PHI, NYR/NYI. Maybe Ott'wa does, but I'd guess MON holds that place for them. I had a great conversation with some dude at a party once about Curling (before it was in the olympics) as I used to watch it on CBC on Saturdays. Good times. :)

    This was a snow storm creation a couple years ago, it's certainly not pretty but damn was it good: 7-layer pancake-cake with cream cheese frosting and maple syrup. (Cream cheese frosting is super easy to make if you have a food processor, BTW, just some cream cheese and powdered sugar):

    I've missed this... :)

    Glorious!
