  1. http://free.avg.com/ Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. The speaking time was issued, not requested. The two hour recommendation/request/requisite was so that everyone could get thru security and be in their seats and have a full audience when it was time for him to speak (as in making sure everyone got to hear what he had to say). The potties are located outside security, so if one had to potty, they had to go back thru security again. The Vice-President is Dick Cheney... I don't know Dick Cheny and he could be a dick. And, no... I'm not a fan of Mr. Cheney... but fair is fair. DAV could have worked with Mr. Cheney's office and Secret Service on a better methodology and vice versa. Both at fault and a one-sided media spin. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. Did you sign anything in the form of a Non-compete agreement? If so, find out what your State's "Blue Pencil Test" is in determining if it is too restrictive. If you did not sign anything, then move along and don't sweat it. You don't even need counsel for that one... It's just another case of "I'll huff and I'll puff..."

  6. Well, I thought I had come across this little piece of unknown history when the guy told me Jack was on the jump, in Snohomish in 1963. I'm gonna see if I can trip over another treasure that may be more challenging for you gentlemen. My apologies to Jerry - I was working off third-party information.

  8. 8 minutes?!?!? You are right on all counts, except... I was "told" Jack Ady was on the jump, the year was 1963, the jump was done in Snohomish. Damn.. You're good. I thought I'd found a stumper. Dammit. For the others... It's a Fairchild 71. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. In a Barber Shop; Barber has this and a couple more like it posted on his wall... We talk... He lets me have the picture and asks for its return. Name one of the guys who concocted this idea (his name was on the picture, but I PS'd it out... The year it happened... Where Hint 1... The airplane ad is NOT a clue of where Hint 2... The airplane is sitting right now where it happened You can prolly guess what kind of plane... so I left that off the test question Man, talk about a historical find...

  11. I was endorsing your comment and hoping he had "watch threads" on since he started it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. If both parties use an agent, they both pay... The seller pays the direct costs and the buyer pays the indirect costs (the home price is increased to cover the % commission). If one or both parties don't use an agent; they can wind up paying much more for one contractual faux pas. There are so many hidden gotchyas that can come back on you... Environmental testing document, psychological disclosure (did some die in this house can actually "haunt" you), even down to who pays for the structural engineering inspection. I once started out on a FSBO and just the logistics of scheduling showings and no shows with my crazy schedule made me re-think an agent. I'm glad I did. She was so good that when a year later I was sued by the buyer for "mold" that Realtor had our ducks so in line that ultimately I won the case, but had spent about 10K in legal fees. Had the Realtor not been on her game and the one little box declining an environmental test could have been my ass and would have wound up with my having to buy the house back. In the end, I was awarded legal fees also; but the buyer declared bankruptcy. There's a lot more to this story and its two-year shenanigans (the buyer had paid for the structural engineering inspection which was another saving grace in this saga), but in the end, and to the point, that Realtor saved me a couple of hundred K.

    OOPS

    Ya know... I was thinking the same thing. Why was a mechanic "cleaning" the plane. Accidently hit... She'll probably lose "her job?" Sorry, but if she could accidently hit that many buttons in sequence while cleaning the plane... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Insomnia Sucks

    http://www.sleepdynamictherapy.com/2008/01/intelligence-levels-in-insomnia-patients/ The solution is not sleep aids. The solution is to find something to divert your mind for a couple of hours before your sleeptime. In most latin countries, they do something at the end of the day that I found intriguing.... after work, everyone walks around el centro. I've often wondered if there is some mental process of "This is permission to turn it off." You need to find your "permission." Try an evening walk (not run) - just a nice easy "evening constitutional," a gentle bike ride, etc... then segue into something that you can totally concentrate on for a couple of hours that removes you from the outside world - on-line chess, poker, pool, reading a good book, etc. Not everything works for everyone, but there is one thing for everyone... you just need to find out your own "turn it off switch." Good luck. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. A long sleeve T-shirt and doo rag will help prevent perspiration while packing.... it'll also make it less slick from your sweat for getting it in the d-bag. I also keep a towel at the top of the canopy so that while I'm lying on it to press out the air; wipe my hands on it just before I jump up to so the S fold and d-bag stuff.... hope that helps (it's not unusual for it to get over 100 degrees in the summer months in my area).

  17. OK. So in reflection of the thread title, I'll beg forgiveness for being out of the loop on this one and the reference to Jesse Jackson's recent comments.... (I heard about the testicles comment, but didn't know there was a follow-up of more derogatory comments).

  18. I'm confused. Your subject line implies we should stop saying, but the content is saying and talking about being old enough to say it is old enough to talk about it. What are we talking about? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  19. Ummmm.... Oh nevermind. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. You actually made me curious... http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/curiousa.htm Scroll down to Blacklist... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. All income from whatever source derived. Even relief of debt is a taxable event. For example; a home foreclosure. If you owe 200K on it and they sell it for 150K; you owe taxes on the 50K difference and you will receive a 1099-C. How cool is THAT?!?!?!? So, if you couldn't make the house payments, then surely you can make the tax payments, right? http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=174034,00.html Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  23. Well, there's a whole lotta different types of defense "contractors" including janitorial services; so you may want to get a job description first. Good luck on the job thing, man. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  24. Second Quarter Google: 3 Viacom: 3 So far, the judge appears to be leaning very heavily on the Electronic Communications Privacy Act [my interpretation follows]; whereby companies like YouTube and Google cannot reveal stored user data in a civil suit.
