Safe House
Great car chases. I am completely in awe of how these are filmed without injury
Great Krav Maga style fighting.

XMDD from PA,
big variables are what network works in your area, how much phone you actually need, and how many minutes you use. I wanted to get a Droid through either Boost or Virgin, but both run on the Sprint network, which doesn't…

Save all your videos in a file outside of the program in question. Check the format. If they are in .flv or .mp4, format they should work. The one I used was freeware. Check sourceforge.net or cnet.com. They probably have a free one that will work…

Also, what MP3 download program are you using to save vids? I had one that worked, but now not so much.

Prince at the Forum

Great things:
Prince and his gigantic catalog of hits. I'm sure your aware of it. How many artists and even sub genres have come and gone since he came on the scene?
Prince's sense of showmanship. The stage was shaped like that symbol, there were dancers, hella costume changes, lights, video screens, etc. The guy's a pretty good dancer too.
Happy people act happy. Everyone in the massive crowd was in a good mood and very polite. It is such a contrast…

I started writing down a list of daily achievements in a journal. There are multiple sources for the idea that all talked about something similar in different contexts. I'm reading a book called Market Wizards right now and several of the people featured mentioned keeping a trading journal, as did Stan Weinstein in… Continue
#21 Cooked by Chef Jeff Henderson
Posted on June 19, 2010 at 1:30pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Cooked is about Chef Jeff Henderson, a brother who went from baller status in the San Diego drug underworld to federal incarceration to running kitchens at Vegas hot spots like the Bellagio and Ceasar's Palace and having a show on the food network. It was obviously an interesting story and a quick read. Henderson goes into graphic detail about his days of selling marijuana and crack as well as his decade in custody. He also goes into that same sort of detail when he writes about kitchens and… Continue

Found this on the flash drive. It was taken from the best of Craigslist, author unknown. I recognize some of the ideas and terminology from Dr. Phil, but who knows where he got it from. Maybe someone else can gain some insight from it...

using a mac with firefox and tonight safari
problems...
sporadic rejection of posts. Sometimes posts show up, other times the spinning icon slows to a speed reminiscent of dialup. I usually give up after about 2 minutes. Tried sending an email related to this, but the same thing happened.
Sometimes when I go to reply to a post, no text box appears and the icons on the page stretch out.
Is it just me?

- Bro, the radio stations are pumping the upcoming Philly Motorhead show crazy. I'm tempted to go just because of their status and even with my limited metal knowledge, I dig the songs I know. and I'm checking some of the names you mentioned.
