Heading out later today for a motorcycle vacation through the Canadian provinces. Have been looking through the various websites and travel guides, but am interested if anyone has any personal recommendations.

We will take a couple of days to get there, not expecting to arrive until Friday into Halifax. Should be in the area for about a week.

Any advice/tips/etc. is appreciated.

in Nov of 2001. That really makes me sound old. I guess I am. I remember some of the posters from back then and some of the ones we've lost since then. Carol, who changed to Carol1, and can't remember his name but he and his wife were killed in a car accident. Very sad. I always enjoyed their perspective. Life goes on but don't forget the past.

On a rising tide, don't move back into the people who were smart enough to check the tide tables. Leapfrog!

gotta say the Mexico/Panama game was perhaps the WORST fixed sporting event I have seen in a long time. Couldn't believe how blatantly the refs handed that game to Mexico. My brother and I were watching the game at a bar, and we were trying to think of other sporting events that were "fixed" that poorly.

I think the best example we could think of was the 1972 Olympic Basketball game between the USA and Russia . . . but of course, we only watched replays, did not see it live.

of course OSU/PSU came up . . . LOL

Mark Emmert: Unfit to Lead

Evidence revealing the level of Mark Emmert's corruption and lack of integrity in the Penn State case are grounds for his removal.

By Ray Blehar | Thursday, July 23, 2015



Today is the third anniversary of Penn State University's (PSU) and the NCAA's unprecedented agreement to punish the PSU football program and athletic department without cause.

The evidence in the case proves that conduct of NCAA President Mark Emmert was so unethical, dishonest, and, at times delusional...

can anyone confirm this? Would be huge no?

I remember as a kid going to a pretzel bakery in Lancaster County and getting a 5lb can filled up for about 75cents. I've been a pretzel eater all my life. Not the healthiest habit - I know. Now that I've moved away I still miss them. So all knowing board - who makes the best hard pretzels and where do you get them now? Thanks

Filing motion for a protective order related to Baldwin deposition scheduled for next week.

As told by I.I. Rabi, from Richard Rhodes' "The Making of the Atomic Bomb:"

"We were lying there, very tense, in the early dawn, and there were just a few streaks of gold in the east; you could see your neighbor very dimly. Those ten seconds were the longest ten seconds that I have ever experienced. Suddenly, there was an enormous flash of light, the brightest light I have ever seen or that I think anyone has ever seen. It blasted; it pounced; it bored its way right through you. It was a vision which was seen with more than the eye. It was seen to last forever. you would wish it would stop; altogether it lasted about two seconds. Finally it was over, diminishing, and we looked toward the place where the bomb had been; there was a enormous ball of fire which grew and grew and it rolled as it grew; it went up into the air, in yellow flashes and into scarlet and green. It looked menacing. It seemed to come toward one.
A new thing had just been born; a new control; a new understanding of man, which man had acquired over nature."

Take the prep Thur. evening with 32 oz. water. Then take the prep the next morning 4 hours before exam. This is my first time using this prep. All my other colonoscopies I used the big jug of golightlt. Anyone use suprep? A ny suggestions or hints would be appreciated. TIA

I applied for a position, the same position that I have been doing for the last 12 years at another institution, and was pretty much denied instantly by email without even getting a interview. Even though the degree came from them. Kind of funny if you think about it.

Died at 69 due to cancer saw it on a crawl on ESPNU

I forgot about the first drive of this game, where our offensive game plan was to pass the ball on the game's opening three plays. Those went nowhere, Iowa got a short field and a quick touchdown and led 7-0 before two minutes had passed.

Should have just established the damn run RIGHT AWAY. Shoot, on our next four possessions, we ran the ball and what do you know, got into the Iowa Red Zone on ALL four possessions. Unfortunately, we only got 3 field goals and 1 touchdown. But at least that was proof running the ball worked.

A game we should have won. But when you come out with an awful game plan and then let a team get an early touchdown, that allows them to hang around and hang around. And sure enough, Iowa was close enough come the 4th quarter that they were able to win it.

(there was also an awful 3-and-out possession early in the 4th quarter ...... where sure enough we were passing the ball, despite the fact that the run worked that day and the pass never worked. UGH)

Bill Cosby was a member of the Temple Board of Trustees from 1982 until December 2014.
During that time, he used his position at Temple to gain access to at least one Temple Athletics employee who he raped.

That employee sued Cosby in 2005 and Cosby reached an undisclosed settlement with her (she filed a motion today to have the entire case unsealed, on the grounds and Cosby and his attorney breached the confidentiality terms of the agreement).

Despite the fact that Temple University was aware of the fact that Cosby had been forced to reach a settlement with a Temple employee who had been raped by him, Cosby remained a Temple trustee for another nine years.

And yet not one journalist, local or national, is questioning Temple's role in this mess. No one is calling on the NCAA to investigate and/or sanction Temple Athletics. Why? Because Temple is keeping its mouth shut, unlike the morons at Penn State.

I'm right on schedule... adopting new technology nearly a decade after its been introduced. Wondering what results/feedback you fine folks may have with the Kuerig system. 1.0 vs 2.0 models?

Thanks in advance

I heard the audio on Bob & Tom and found the video on Youtube. Very wise woman.....

I had never heard of this guy, but he did a lot of good in his life and this should be recognized.

What state are you living in now and in what aspects do you find it favorable or less favorable compared to Pennsylvania?

Do you foresee moving to another state?

For those currently residing in Pennsylvania, do you foresee moving to another state?

With summer here, many of you will be taking to the road with your families. Often a female with be with you and that female will suggest she share some of the driving. Avoid this if at all possible. Say something like "Honey, I just want you to relax and enjoy the trip. I'll do all the driving." If an argument ensues and you must let a female drive, remember these time rules for any trip of more than 2 hours.
1. If a female under the age of 50 drives the car, add 50% to your travel time for every hour she drives.
2. If the female is over 50 years of age, add 100%.
3. If the female is over 75, PLEASE.....don't let the woman behind the wheel.
NOTE: These rules are based upon a just completed round trip from Pittsburgh to Boston and on many, many years of experience.
