No, but his days of being on 'auto re-sign' are over. This year is his last as Giant. Even if this yr is an amazing season for him, he's priced out of renewal consideration at the end of 2013 (this contract).

Baseball is the worst sport for team's fans to become attached to a player.

If I weren't already entrenched as a Cards fan I could see myself getting behind the Giants, especially now that I'm on the west coast. I rooted for them once they got past the Cards in the NLCS.

Whatever. You probably fuxxored the registry along the way. Cheese fungus.

Going by google searches, it seems to be a relatively common thing, but how people are fixing it, I don't know. I found one fix for the Mac version of Office. Although it involved the guy uninstalling outlook and using a different program. But the mac version, it had to do with a process that involved syncing the calendar of outlook.

lol...how is that a "fix"

that's like the engine in your BMW not working, trading the entire car in for an audi, and saying it's fixed

Well, that would be an upgrade. Zing!!!!!!

lol I agree. I was wrong to type fix. It was that a direct cause was found. But yeah.. the guy didn't find a fix.

Found another fix that involves replacing short cuts and adding in a bit to the target path. Nothing major, but not sure if it actually solves my issue.

Did you try resetting the rectilinear compression modulator?

He's compressed enough rectums in his time.

Yeah, it's hard to see a great and likable player go. You get so used to seeing them in a 162-game season (vs. 16), and their funny quirks. We may have seen the last of Brian Wilson's beard.

Hey, I pretended to show some interest in something you like. You would do well to mind yourself.

Ahhh, you're right. I'm sorry.

Damn, it sucks when people are nice to you.

Leaves no room for unnecessary provocation/retaliation.

How's your sleep been lately?

How's your sleep been lately?

Between 5-8 hours in length and during night hours.

Anybody wanna talk about the F1 driver market?

Maybe the rumors regarding the new cars?

Or the test at Jerez in a month or so?

Anyone?

No?

I guess that stuff might distract you from the fact it's the last year with the V8 engine which is still a far cry from those beautiful V10s. Turbo sixes in 2014... the sport is going down the shïtter.

Pretty soon they'll be driving cars that sound like Civics with a fart cannon.

I went to bed last night and luckily I only seemed to toss and turn up until about 2am-ish. I thought last night was going to be a repeat of last Sunday night where I got no sleep.

[kvk1]

Though with anything F1, if the fans complain enough and if they really do fudge the noise/power mystique of the engines, they'll revert back.

[Farley1324]

You guys don't get a enough sleep. That's rich.

I got three hours of uninterupted time in bed last night (well, this morning, 8-11), which is the longest such event in the past 8 days

[Hola Bola]

Been there, done that.

Don't worry, it only lasts a few months.

I got some new pillows a few weeks ago. A lot softer than I usually buy. Phenomenal change in sleep quality.

Averaging about 5 hours this past week. Not enough when you train 4x a week.

[chazzy1864]

I've used lenco's youtube video thing 2 of the last 3 nights. I like it. I wake up more often throughout the night, but I feel more rested. We'll see if that trend continues (the two nights I've used it, I've slept 10 and 12 hours, due to lack of sleep and/or dragging from previous days).

[mjw8204]

How's your sleep been lately?

Last few days have been better. We'll see if it holds up now that I'm back in the swing of the things after the holidays.

[kvk1]

Watching today's White House press briefing.

The lady in the front with the ugg boots caught my eye and for some reason annoyed the crap out of me.



First off, ma'am, ya gotta dress your age. That looks ridiculous.

Secondly, you're in the freaking White House.

How is that proper attire for the front seat of the press corp?

lol I keep forgetting you just had a kid. We know you got it bad more than anyone at the moment.

I got some new pillows a few weeks ago. A lot softer than I usually buy. Phenomenal change in sleep quality.

I went from sleeping on a crappy sofa bed for the longest time ever to sleeping on a comfy bed with comfy pillows. Oddly enough, it didn't really increase my sleep quality. I could be on the most comfortable sleeping apparatus in the world, but if my mind is sprinting a bazillion miles an hour, it wouldn't make a difference.

I actually listened to that sh*t for a few minutes last night while browsing the internet. I freaked the fuk out right after I stopped the audio because I wasn't expecting that ringing in my ears. I thought I was tripping balls, bro.

Yeah, the off time from the holidays did it for me. I think getting back into the 9-5 groove and maybe possibly getting in a few workouts for this year should right things up a bit.

I tried the book reading one once and it threw me off. Not sure if it was good or bad, but it was definitely different. I need to give it another shot.

But I think I'm digging the sleeping one. I tend to wake up like every 1.5 hours (about the same time as the sleep cycles), so I will either roll back over and immediately fall asleep, or I'll get up and pee and then lay back down to immediately fall asleep. I can say though, with it playing, I fall asleep fast.

I doubt it. Once they've milked these smaller engines for a few years who knows, maybe we'll see electric F1 cars and all we'll have to talk about are the good old days.

V10 & V12 era = perfection.

Check this out:

http://scarbsf1.com/blog1/2012/06/08...014-f1-engine/

Completely unrelated to the technical side of the new regulations, is the Fans concern that the engines won’t sound very good. This is based around view that the engines have a relatively small capacity and additionally have the muffling effect of a turbo charger. This format being akin the WRC engines which do not have a pleasing engine note. But this disregards the F1 engines open exhaust, higher RPM and the aggressive use of the turbocharger itself.

Every engineer I’ve spoken to about the exhaust note has said they will sound good. Okay they are not going to be the same glorious sound of a V12, but they will be far from the dull sound of other small capacity turbocharged racing engines. I recall the sound of the original 1.5l turbo engines from the eighties; they revved far lower than the 2014 engine and still sounded loud and exciting.

Speaking to Auto123.com Gilles Simon commented on the engines sound “The sound of the V6 engine will of course be different. It’ll probably be a bit lower, but I really don’t think it’ll be unexciting for all that. The big turbine will be making a lot of noise, whistling really loudly. No, I the new cars won’t be boring at all”.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I understand how that can be frustrating, but believe it or not, there are actually adult courses available to assist with this sort of challenge. It may even be offered free at your local library!
