RIght now all the scattered storms are popping up, but once they pass there should be time to play before we get more widespread rain over night. But the storms seem to be popping up fast, so there may just be too many around to play tonight.

I took the hard drive during that span to a friend of mine to get it cleaned.

But everything is crapping out. I just bought a new keyboard an hour ago.

Should I get a new mouse too?

First thing

plug in another mouse you said the keyboard stopped working did the new one work right away check the mouse connection even though it worked maybe its just loose if another mouse works it prolly was the mouse but if it dont the plug on the motherboard is possibly bad

Yes,the new keyboard worked right away.

I don’t have another mouse,so I have to go buy another one I guess.

by Too Legit To quit on Sep 11, 2009 6:52 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

if it was just loose cool

your other option if another mouse doesnt work is to buy a lil adapter that plugs into the usb and has a round plug on it for the mouse

Unplug every other usb device and reboot

See if the mouse works that way, after trying updated drivers, of course.

Here is a schedule I put together to guide me through the race

After the link takes you to googledocs, Click file>Download as>Excel. After it opens change the zoom to 80% or so. Then you can play around with records by putting a W or L in each box for the rest of the season and watch as our deficit grows or shrinks. At the bottom there is the record since last night. Earlier I had the Rangers tied for the West by going 16-7 and the Angels going 11-12. Don’t know if this is the best way to distribute this or not. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

The Godfather book was outstanding and stacks up to the movie very well.

Lots more back story, particularly with Johnny Fountain.

I've read the books

a number of times and there’s really not the same kind of narrative you get with the movies. There are lots of historical tangents and then the way the story is broken up you only read about half the characters in one half of the book before finding out what happened with the others…

Book is better. And the movie really only shares the basic premise (and the title and main character’s name) with the book, but otherwise they are very different. The other Bourne movies are not even close to the books.

if i remember correctly, Shawshank was only a short story by King

Pretty sure Green Mile is a full-blown novel…

might be wrong though. Either way, both are great movies, and i have a hard time imagining Shawshank the book can top the movie, that movie is just so good in so many ways

The only one i can truely say is better than the book

is Last of the Mohicans… One of my all-time favorite movies with incredible acting, music, and filming… The book and the story within the book was kind of meh, a pretty good book, but the changes they made with the Movie made the story better, and the overall package of the movie made it way better.

I havent read the book and seen the movie of any others that are like that.

There is season ticket holders that I’m sure go out there every single game, every single year no matter how bad they suck. When they hear kinsler say “this city just doesn’t get excited for us” I’m sure they get mad.

At first I thought it was no big deal, but after I heard him they just really came out the wrong way. He needs to have a way better approach. If he’s sitting there saying he doesn’t expect anything from the fans..then guess you what you fucking idiot they’re not going to show up even more.

He’s our best player and we’ve got him locked into a lucrative contract. As long as he plays up to his potential, I don’t care if he’s a loudmouth. It’s when he’s not playing up to his potential that I get ticked off.

He needs to play a little harder on the field before he can call anyone out. I hate the cowboys and I think they get way too much media attention and fan attention as well, but telling someone in an interview that you don’t expect the fans to come out is just going to make it worse.

I thought that was interesting

seemed that foreign substance like grease, peanut butter, etc actually decreased the break on the pitch, but scuffing doubled the break on a pitch.

I don't trust what they did there.

Peavy has never thrown a doctored ball like that in all likelihood.

Get somebody out there who has experience throwing it and they could get crazy break.

Then get Stone IPA or Bear Republic Racer 5. Even Ska’s Modus Hoperandi is better than Dogfish, and it’s $10.

Wow.

Relegate their asses right out of the Big XII.

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

Clock is ticking on Coach Hawkins...

Gonna ride his kid all the way down the crapper… Sad.

Where do they go next? Sumlin? Turner Gill? Chris Petersen? Brian Kelley? Tuberville? Kevin Wilson or Brent Venables? Art Briles? Kyle Whittingham? They could go a lot of different directions… I get the obvious ‘’next guy’’ for that job just left USC for Washington…

Out of the guys you listed:

Sumlin- He’ll wait for A&M to open up after Sherman gets canned.
Gill- I would be surprised to see him somewhere in the SEC soon, maybe USC after Spurrier calls it quits.
Petersen- On his way to a better job than CU, that’s for sure. Might fit in Boulder, not sure.
Tuberville- Another candidate for A&M after they can Sherman. Don’t think he’d fit in Boulder.
Wilson- Not a bad choice at all for CU.
Venables- Shine has to have come off that apple by now, hasn’t it? He hasn’t done squat since Mike Stoops left.
Briles- Won’t be available. They couldn’t get him from Baylor.
Whittingham- I’d stay at Utah if I were him until a better school opened up.

As we speak, CU coming back.

Rachel Maddow...

would be attractive in a Mariska Hargitay way if she had longer hair and wasn’t a.. you know.. lesbian.

There is not enough beer in the world to make Rachel Maddow attractive in any shape or form.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Give me team chemistry and emotion over stats any day. Do you think 34,000 Ranger fans were screaming their asses off over Pudge and his .275 OBP?

The forecast isn't looking good for the rest of the weekend.

Sunday is the best chance to get a game or two in, but even that is unsure. These games may need to be made up at the end of the season if it keeps raining like this all weekend.

YEP

I got to the ballpark at 5:30 tonight. All looked great until the sudden downpour at 6:40…. I stayed there until Chuck kicked us all out around 9:30. Also got to meet a beautiful member of the “six shooters”… I thought they were all high school girls originally.

i thought when they pulled the tarp off at about 7

we might get lucky and see some baseball :/

oh well, just made it back to Denton and it rained all the way up here, guess there wasn’t any hope of it stopping tonight

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
