See also: http://www.nbcolympics.com/results/1500195/detail.html This features their compulsaries, though I find compulsaries terribly boring (everyone skates the same pattern). -dans \_ Congratulations to her, and your entire family for what she has done. Why don't you visit Torino? Or are you there? \_ Thanks, though I think most (all?) of that should be directed at her. My only hand in this was spending two hours a day schlepping her to and from the rink in heavy traffic for two years when I was in high school. :) Several family members are in Torino, but my presently broke ass could not afford airfare, one week's housing, and event tickets. -dans |

2/20 A few years ago I switched from the Brita filtration pitcher system to the Pur filtration pitcher system because Pur filtered out certain microbial cycst and other things. I used the 3-stage Pur pitcher filter happily for a few years till now. Now I can't even find the 3-stage *pitcher* (not faucet) filter from Savon, Walgreens, Costco, and other stores that used to offer the filter. What's up?!??! \_ I am using the Pur desktop dispenser. Costco use to carry the filter, but now they only carry faucet mount filters. I guess supply and demand. Last time I ordered my filters from http://drugstore.com. Target also has it I believe. \_ What area do you live in? Got any kidney stones yet? |

Are you an idiot? \_ Usually when my friend injures me grievously I am mad at my friend for a while. You must be the Pope. \_ You seem to have a lot of experiance with your friends injuring you grievously. Maybe your "friends" are trying to send you a message. Really, once or twice is an accident, but... \_ Because he has no other option? \_ We can only hope that the next time Cheney shoots someone and puts him in intensive care, it will be less of a hassle for Cheney. \_ Let's just say there was some Brokeback action going on the ranch. \_ And Cheney mis-fired his gun on Whittington's face. Oooh. \_ And as Whittington was caressing Cheney's gun, Cheney mis-fired it on Whittington's face. Oooh ... |

Doesn't it assume the Iranians are complete idiots who can't read technical diagrams and fix flaws? What about if they take the designs, compare it to others from Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, etc. I admit I don't know anything about the design of nuclear weaponry but if it's anything like designs of other things you can often glean a lot of tricks and details from looking at a complete set of specifications. \_ Actually, this is not a new idea, and it's not moronic. If you pass on to the other side research that you know is both secret and goes to a dead end, you can make them invest time and money in something that you know won't work. This is an extrapolation. \_ Ever seen Michael Frayn's play Copenhagen? |

1/6 My torso is a size S (36" chest) but my arms are at 34" which is a size M. With dress shirts I can get exactly what I need because it's fitted. But with coats I'm having a hard time getting something that'll fit me. I'm looking at wool/cashmere coats. S is too short arm-wise but M is too big around my torso. I'd imagine that expensive coats ($300-$500 range) would be fitted like shirts instead of coming in S, M, L, etc. Anybody have the same problem? What brand of coats come in fitted sizes? This is formal wear so I can't look like a clown. Thanks. \_ Go to a decent shop, get fitted and the coat tailored. It'll be worth it.

1/1 What do you guys think about McMansions? Great? Bad? No opinion? \_ McMansions are usually bought by [single] working people who can barely afford them using interest only loans. Statistics show that most of the McMansions are quite empty because their owners are too busy with work and have no time to decorate them, let alone enjoy them. Since McMansions are usually built far away from metropolitan areas, their owners also tend to drive huge SUVs so that they can load up stuff they need, minimizing the time and frequency in which they must travel between their McMansions and civilization (eg. Costco). Young McMansion owners are usually shocked at the $500-$1000 utility costs since McMansions are usually located in traditionally undesirable areas that are over 50-100 miles from big coastal cities, thus have huge temperature swings. McMansion owners love their homes because their homes allow them to feel like millionaires without actually having to be one. \_ I think they are fine if you have a big family, an ostentatious display of wealth otherwise. \_ Why do you think "McMansions" are an ostentatious display of wealth and regular (larger and more expensive) mansions are not? \_ I don't see how the pp implies this. The question was about McMansions, not mansions in general. Anyway, I think it's a given that mansions are ostentatious. -!pp \_ Why would you care what we think?
