  1. What would we have this coach do? Make up lies, acuse someone else? This is the first step to a resolution. Yes, I know, that a child died and that can not be undone.

     

    His honesty could eventually help him get a more lenient punishment (if one is given). His honesty, no matter how poor the decision to withhold water is, may help the parents move on a little quicker, rather than pursue a long drawn out battle.

  2. Tonight has been absolutely aweful. I must say that I honestly did not like anyone singing tonight. The first two rounds were much, much better.

     

     

    First two rounds

    :dancingpa

     

    tonight

    :puke:

  3. Back up your library on a flashdrive whenever you download more songs. If you ever have trouble with your computer, you may lose your library. It should come back next time you synch, but you can never be too safe.

  4. I had the exact same experience at the BB in cold Spring (sans the cashier wanting to pay for them, that was stupid).

     

    Anyway, I had talked at mananger by phone before I turned the movie in. He had said that since they were not holding a current credit card # they could not charge the card, only hold an amount for the movie purchase. That if I returned the movie, even after the 20 days, I would not be charged. I dropped the movie off in the drop box thinking that it would be taken care of.

     

    After two weeks, I returned to rent another movie. They said I owed the money to purchase the returned movie. I told them, I returned it, they already have it. She checked a drawer and there it was with a return ticket taped to it. You still have to pay for it, and I will give it to you she said. "Whoa". I left.

     

    Another two weeks later, I went back to talk to a manager to clear this up. This time, the manager could not find the movie at all. She looked everywhere. Finally, she said, it must have been put back in circulation, I will credit your account. I wouldnt leave until she printed a reciept that showed a "0" balance. All is good. :clap:

  5. I have watched Bellevue play on occassion. So I will offer my opinion, FTIW...

     

    1. Coach Sorrell is doing a good job. He is replacing a very successful coach with a lot of experience in Bev Smith. Obviously, being new to the varsity head coach position, he is developing as well as the girls.

     

    2. As "Dude" said, talent is cyclical. Overall, the upperclass is not as talented as it has been in recent years. The talent at Bellevue lies in the Soph and Jr. classes. I would bet that they will drastically better next year.

     

    3. Bellevue basketball is typically a place that attracts young coaches and assistants who develop and move on. I do not see many experienced, successful coaches beating a path to coach at Bellevue. So, I am curious as to why someone would blame the administration? If you know it, say it!

     

    JMHO

  6. Why cant they change the past?

     

    When the group on the island went way back in time, and were confronted by the uniformed Dharma guys, Locke kills one (or was it two of them).

     

    This would change the future of these people.

  7. How exactly would you propose they educate people during an awards ceremony?

     

    Do they do the same thing when Mickey Rourke wins? How many PSA's are we going to have at an awards ceremony?

     

    They wear ribbons for breast cancer awareness, dont they? How bout wearing a ribbon or a button about drug abuse? It could be that simple.

     

    They dont need to do anything about Mickey Rourke. The last I checked his abuses hasn't killed him yet (although he is a mess). Perhaps, his appearance speaks for itself.

  8. I don't see the problem with this. He had an addiction. You have never had an addiction tom anything?

     

    You dont see a problem with addiction to pain killers or to obtain these pills illegally? What about alcohol or other drugs?

     

    This kind of laissez faire attitude is what I am afraid of.

     

    What I am saying that while he is being praised (and rightfully so) for his work, his tragedy can be used for good.
