I hated how they prequelized Star Tours.

Noodle soups ranked: 1) Wonton Noodle Soup with char siu (Hong Kong) 2) Laksa (Singapore) 3) Bakmi Ayam (Indonesia) 4) Pho - and don't skip out on the tendon (Vietnam) 5) Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) Granted, noodles in hot broth is pretty much the perfect food, but these five stand out.

Bernie got game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2Xojil-P6o Now if his platform also includes the explicit legalizing of online poker, he may have a vote.

Wonton soup is one of my all time favorites but I don't recall ever seeing it served with egg noodles. Ill have to inquire next time I go. A reputable Chinatown dive should have it. Much less likely to find it in the suburbs.

Char Siu is great. I like it with jasmine rice and steamed chinese vegetables. It's perfect in fried rice. My favorite is when it's served with a bowl of wonton noodle soup: al dente alkaline egg noodles; ground pork, shrimp, and sesame oil mixed wontons; in a rich broth made from long simmered pork bone and dried salty fish. Hands down the best noodle soup in the world.

A) LeBron James' Defensive FG% is 51.4% B) J.R. Smith's Defensive FG% is 49.2% C) J.R. Smith guards better than LeBron James. A+B=C http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/player/defense/?sort=DEF_RIM_FG_PCT&dir=-1&Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&CF=MIN*G*20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3iVpGw6_F0 I wouldn't rely on the BOO! and Olay! defensive tactic too often.

Yeah, the Thunder at 12/1 would be an easy call especially if hedging along with the Spurs at 7/2. But we all know it's dead money, especially if putting down 10/11 on the Warriors. As much as I like Klay, he's still a third fiddle glorified 3 and D guy who doesn't grab boards or handle the ball much. Can't leave off John Wall, another two way guard who's also putting up 20pts and 10ast. Hell, Harden is also off and he's averaging 28pts 6.3ast 7.0reb.

It's the All Star Break. I'll go out on a limb and predict the Warriors will repeat as champions. Even though Nate Silver has the Dubs at only 50% to win the title. Warriors 50% Spurs 25% Cavs 10% Thunder 5% Clippers 3% Raptors 3% Celtics 2% Las Vegas Superbook has it as pretty much Evens for Golden State vs the field. Can't hedge there. Warriors 10/11 Cavaliers 11/4 Spurs 7/2 Thunder 12/1 Clippers 20/1 Bulls 40/1 Hawks 40/1 Celtics 40/1 My All Star Break award picks: MVP - Stephen Curry ROY - Karl-Anthony Towns COY - Brad Stevens DPOY - Kawhi Leonard MIP - Draymond Green All-NBA First Team Curry Westbrook Durant LeBron Kawhi All-NBA Second Team CP3 Jimmy Butler PG-13 Draymond Drummond All-NBA Third Team John Wall Kyle Lowry Paul Millsap Chris Bosh Boogie First Team Defense Jimmy Butler Danny Green Jae Crowder Kawhi Leonard Draymond Green Second Team Defense Avery Bradley John Wall PG-13 Andre Iguodala Tim Duncan All Rookie Team Emmanuel Mudiay Devin Booker Karl-Anthony Towns Jahlil Okafor Kristaps Porzingis

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's statement on Scalia: Justice Ginsburg and Justice Scalia, despite being at polar opposites on decisions with political implications, were the best of friends --often vacationing together.

Well Lynch is the current Attorney General, and would have to step down...leaving the post vacated and her original confirmation process was a long, knock down drag out war. Srinvasan on the other hand, received a 96-0 Senate vote on his appointment to the Circuit Court.

For what it's worth, Nate Silver grades CBS polls as a solid B with a 4.8% simple average error rate.

Nate Silver's model on 538. These are percentage chances of winning. South Carolina GOP Trump 70% Rubio 14% Cruz 8% Nevada Caucuses DEM Clinton 50% Sanders 50% South Carolina DEM Clinton >99% Sanders <1% Nevada Caucuses GOP (polling averages only) Trump 31.4% Cruz 19.2% Rubio 10.9% Carson 7.8% Bush 4.9%

Somehow I feel this may have been directed at me. Federal U.S. laws prohibit sanctioned gambling on U.S. Elections. That however doesn't stop the Hibernians. Paddy Power's latest... US Presidential Election: Hillary Clinton: Evens Donald Trump: 7/2 Bernie Sanders: 7/1 Marco Rubio: 8/1 Ted Cruz: 12/1 Jeb Bush: 14/1 John Kasich: 40/1 Ben Carson: 200/1 Democratic Nomination: Clinton: 1/4 Sanders: 10/3 Republican Nomination: Trump: 6/5 Rubio: 3/1 Bush: 5/1 Cruz: 5/1 Kasich: 20/1 Carson: 150/1 Nevada Democratic Caucus: Clinton: 4/7 Sanders: 5/4 South Carolina Republican Primary: Trump: 1/14!!!! Cruz: 7/1 Rubio: 14/1 Bush: 18/1 Kasich: 50/1 Carson: 100/1 Bonus -SCOTUS Nominee: Sri Srinvasan: 5/2 Paul Watford: 11/4 Merrill Garland: 10/3 Adalberto J Jordan: 5/1 Patricia Ann Millett: 5/1 Jane Kelly: 8/1 Kamala D Harris: 12/1 I only know Srinvasan (DC Circuit Court of Appeals) and Harris (California Attorney General) but surprisingly didn't see longshot odds for Bill Clinton or Barack Obama (steps down as POTUS and Biden then nominates him).

Ronald Reagan appointed Anthony Kennedy 264 days before the 1988 election and made the case that it was the government's constitutional obligation to restore the Supreme Court to full complement. https://twitter.com/igorvolsky/status/698682511350755328

It'll make for some good politiking this year. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-supreme-court-wont-be-getting-another-sotomayor-anytime-soon/ A little old, but still relevant.

And some of the candidates are already calling for Obama to not nominate the next Justice... https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/698634625246195712

Gromnir's favorite Justice, Antonin Scalia, dead at 79. Dang. Now it's a ballgame.

David Gaider is now the Creative Director of Beamdog
Leferd replied to Infinitron's topic in Computer and Console
To be fair, Gaider was the first to repudiate the "Enslave nations with necromancy" marketing line back in the Bio boards in 2004. -
Yup. And Nate Silver agrees. https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/697503928724942848?s=17 "Not a big fan of lumping delegates and superdelegates together. Super Ds can switch and some will if it looks like Bernie has a mandate." 11:34am - 10 Feb 16

Especially fine, classy establishments for those with discerning standards, like the Spearmint Rhino.
