I'd recommend installing a wireless network and linking both the desktop and the new laptop into the network. Once done, you'll be able to access content from the desktop via the laptop and vice-versa. Since you now have a laptop, you'll want the convenience of being mobile in your home and still be...

This is outrageous!!!! They are trampling on these poor students fundamental rights!!! The U.S. Constitution clearly states that they have the right to bare toes, or limbs or arms or something of that nature. Wait a minute, I think I'm getting my Rush Limbaugh rants wrong. Let me check my handbook. ...

I just got off the phone with my mother to make sure she and my step-father had made it home safely from a recent trip to Florida. This woman is amazing. She is a nurse by profession, and for the past 30 years has also carried the the role of Pastor's Wife. My stepfather is a Lutheran pastor who cur...

Re: Cubs jersey question (Buffett related I swear!)

I have been racking my brain and cannot come up with any meanings. Please Help...Fins up! It was a number he wore in High school!!! You definitely become att...

Toooo funny. I've never been IM'd by these guys, but I look forward to receiving phone calls from telephone pollsters when I have time to kill.

The title is a play on one of Hemingway's famous quotes, "Wine not?" I've heard Buffett mention plenty of times, "I'm sure I stole this from somewhere." He did. Also it got me excited since I am a big fan of both authors, however, am a little bummed by the summary I read. Really...

I am not a collector as much as a "never-throw-anything-away" slug, but I have learned the basics of LP valuation. Mostly the vinyl itself should be in good playable condition, without scratches or warping. Certainly make sure the vinyl matches the cover -- they have been known to get mix...

I am tired of the media trying to point fingers at the university about this right now. Yes, it is important to evaluate communication and how it could have been improved--what went wrong in the situation, etc. But for right now, I wish the media would just let them grieve......let them start to co...

Very nice. But I would be concerned that Warner Brothers and Looney Tunes might not appreciate the use of Tweety Bird on a commercial website. You may want to consider having a backup website design prepared.

The player is probably worried that the fan might discover the cork in the bat, and wants to replace it with an autographed "clean" bat.

Yup. Baseball has made me cynical lately (come back Cal Ripken).

Be sure to get up early at least once and drive out on the beach for sunrise. Head north to Corolla few miles to gain access to the beach. Ask the locals, they'll tell you exactly where the beach entrance is. This is not flat Daytona Beach sand, so you'll need 4WD and some clearance to venture far f...

JOHN PRINE!!

The only artist that when he comes out with a new album I take the day off to listen to the new tunes time and again all day just to catch all the layers of his lyrics. I'm rarely disappointed with a single new song.
