http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1084044 I was never really a fan of Calipari, but after reading this I can see he's a pretty admirable guy. Nice story.

I just read something recently about someone having a major pet peeve over people putting the ketchup and mustard in the fridge, therefore, putting cold ketchup and mustard on a perfectly warm hamburg or hot dog. I never even thought about it but he's right. It doesn't need to be refrigerated and it would certainly make some room in the fridge.

Hey all...one week ago today my wife and I welcomed our first addition to the family! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/amour217/P1020546.jpg His name is Hudson and, of course, he loves the Yankees :D

I think this was incredibly creative and what's more, it actually worked! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/13/alec-brownstein-copywrite_n_575040.html I saw Brownstein on CNN today and he said that not one executive he met with would admit to googling himself. Each of them said that a friend told them what happened when googling the executive's name. Of course.

Yeah, I am starting TV shows thread all over the place tonight. But Thursday night is a busy TV night. I know there are fans of Fringe out there here (looking at you Rhody). Who watched?

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/The-Field-of-Dreams-is-for-sale-can-anyone-spar?urn=mlb,240919 No word on whether or not Shoeless Joe Jackson comes with the asking price.

For any Buffy/Firefley/Dr. Horrible fans! I didn't realize until a friend of mine told me that Tuesday's episode of Glee with Neil Patrick Harris was directed by Joss Whedon. Should be good. After all, it is sweeps! (Apologies if there is a Glee thread already. I did a search but couldn't find it.)

Hey everybody. I need an idea on what to make for dinner tonight. we've recently eaten pasta, recently ate potatoes, I don't feel like rice and/or beans, and I can't cook any meat/fish because nothing's defrosted and it's already 5pm. And I don't like to defrost meat in the microwave. So, these are the other ingredients available in my home: yams yucca some raspberries peanuts raisins

Kind of a silly thread, but yesterday I drove alone from Boulder, CO to LA. It took me 15.5 hours and I am feeling it this morning ... too much caffeine and not enough food I think is the problem. Last night when I tried to fall asleep the caffeine made me crazy and I would get the spins whenever I closed my eyes. Nevertheless, 15.5 hours straight is pretty crazy and the views through Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Arizona were pretty spectacular. What's the longest drive you've made?

Certainly a legend amongst black entertainers. She was a very good entertainer and lasted a very long time. The first, or one of the first, black entertainers signed to a studio contract, with many believing that this was due to her light complexion. She blazed many paths and always looked very young into her 80s. May the good light from above shine brightly upon thee for many years to come, Lena. R-I-P :( :( :(

Been thinking about getting a DSLR for a while but never got around to it. Recently, I took the opportunity to pick one up though because I saw a bunch of my friends getting them and taking some nice shots. I'm living abroad for a few years so I also thought this would be a good idea to document what's going on. I've had a Canon SD750, which has served me well and continues to do so when I go out. But I decided I needed a bit more and sprung for a Nikon D90. It's a bit complicated to use at...

Thought this might be useful :) I'll start: Nordstrom's Chicken Tacos

So I graduated college three years ago. Since then I've worked for this TV show in NYC (also held some part time jobs during). It's full-time, but seasonal. It generally runs from May-December. In April I found my two bosses left, and won't be taking me with them, and the old place wants to bring in new people. Long story short, I'm f-ed and need a full time, year round job. I have a part-time job in NYC right now, but it's not enough money to support me. I want to start a career. I ...

There's been alot of trouble between the two and Zynga was planning on starting their own social gaming site: http://www.pcworld.com/article/196010/sorry_zynga_farmville_needs_facebook.html I just got a private message from one of the Mafia Wars groups that it's official and Zynga is disconnecting immediately. I'm sure this is great news to everyone who hates the gaming posts (Mafia Wars, Farmville, etc) but this kind of sucks. As of now you can play MW for free on the website, I...
