Of course you both are smart enough to know neither of those things will happen.

Well it's been fun but you can stick a fork in Hillary now. She is done. Obama takes lead in Superdelegates

Excellent!! That is the best news I've heard all day. Granted I've only been up for two hours but that will be hard to beat!

Heck Shryke I thought that was obvious. I think he is the son of

Can't argue with that. Looks like Michigan is in. HC gets 69, BO gets 59.

I'm sorry about Sasha's trouble. As far as the anesthesia I would not worry about that, dogs have less trouble with that than humans do. As for the lump,at her age it is far more likely to be fatty cyst. Hopefully thats all it is.

Calax you have my respect and my thanks, for what thats worth. Whatever your motivations are you are a good man and doing more for your country than most people ever will.

Marlins beat the Brewers and Tampa beat Toronto on the road tonight. Can you believe both of these teams are in 2nd place?!

According to CNN they did not know it was coming. And the government made no effort to evacuate.

Not so fast Enoch, there are two cards left to play. Florida and Michigan. There is a real sentiment here that not seating the Florida delegation means Florida (the 4th biggest electoral prize) will likely go to McCain in November. If they do seat the Florida and Michigan delegates Hillary is all but guaranteed the lead in popular votes. That would be a compelling argument to use on the superdelegates who I still believe WANT Hillary as the nominee. Think about it, if a majority of the Supers really wanted Obama, they could have declared for him already and put this charade to bed for good. I still think the want Hillary and only need one thing to hang their hat on to give it to her. A win in total popular vote might be enough. Or it might not, who knows. As long as they keep tearing each other apart I'm happy.

To top it all off they are refusing aid.

Look like Hillary Clinton wins Indiana, Obama wins North Carolina. Neither election was close. So since they both pick up roughly the same number of delegates and votes looks like the outcome today is a push. Both candidates are still virtually tied. And the race goes on.... http://www.drudgereport.com/

Today I figured out how to resolve a recieve diversity RSSI imbalance that was affecting the stats of hundreds of cell sites. And it won't cost a dime to fix.

This is a pretty interesting read. It discusses in good detail what the four possible outcomes of todays primary elections could be and what they mean. Although most of you are politically saavy enough to figure that out on your own. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/06/us/polit...amp;oref=slogin

I don't know about that Calax, a carrier is practically a floating city. As a fire control tech I think a cruiser or destroyer is most likely. Like Sand said, sub duty would be the worst, especially is you are even a little claustrophobic. I made three floats on LPDs (in the USMC a ship deployment is called a "float"). LPDs are amphibious assault ships. The Navy calls them "Gator Freighters". That isn't much fun either, the ships are small and VERY crowded. And they are flat bottomed, I did not know why that was a big deal until we got into some foul weather. I don't know if they still do this but I remember it was something of a tradition in the Navy for the top graduate of every C school class to have their pick of available orders. So if you do well in school you get to pick your ship or duty station from what's available. BTW...When do you ship out?

I'm curious, what kind of coffee do you guys drink at home? I bought a grinder/coffee maker combo and I'm liking 8 O'Clock Bean French Roast. It comes whole bean and smells so good when brewing. Any other favorites out there?

That book is the literary equivalent of eating a really tough steak. At the end you are full and it was good at times but on the whole the experience was a little unplesant.

They do like nice guys, they just don't sleep with them.

I'm making pulled chicken for dinner tonight. I'm mulling over ideas for Barbeque Sauce now. I'm thinking somthing sweet. Sweet Baby Rays or perhaps Stubbs. I need to learn how to make my own.

All the best just got back after the celebration beer. i successfully defended my dissertation today. in exactly 3 weeks, i'll be posting (for one day) as drtaks. man i feel relieved. thanks, gorth. mark Congratulations Dr. Taks! That is really great. You have reached the pinnicle of engineering academia. I need to borrow your brain on Monday to help me work out some RF issues issues causing dropped handoffs between GSM and UMTS networks. Please FedEx it down immediately.

I am curious about one thing....

@Shryke, the moral ambiguity of Song of Ice and Fire do give it a real world feel that is absent in fantasy. Maybe that is why it appeals to me and the work of Goodkin, Salvatore, and Brooks (and others) do not. Now reading Merles Door by Ted Kerasote. I LOVE this book.

My apologies DN. I took: out of context because I did not see: . Mea Culpa. It was not intentional.

Because some will take the opportunity to spread harmful misinformation and dogma. The arrogance of that statement is nothing short of astounding. And more than a little scary. Its one thing to discuss what is taught in a public school. It is another all together to bring that into the privacy of the home. It is a parents right and duty to teach their children, no one has the right to tell them how to do it. The funny thing about freedom is everyone must have it or no one does.
