Wish I had a seven on the road, and wish I had time to drive it up your way. LOL

so wrong, but so awesome

awesome! LOL

I will show this to Cameron. He has good memories from our trip and his time with Jake

Glad you got your car back.

Lol

I test drove a quad cab duramax first. REALLY wanted to like that truck, but the wheelbase was just too damn long. It BARELY made a U turn from a left turn lane across 3 lanes of traffic, and it just felt REALLY heavy - even compared to a Suburban. And the gas mileage on the new diesels isn't what it used to be a few years ago. So I just gave up on the diesel truck idea :-/

I'm not clicking on that

i've been prowling dealer lots... new camping/boating/trailer/long trip hauler.

:rofl:

Dropped BOA several years ago. Very happy with that decision. They suck.

wow

This is why I never finish my car before I drive it! LOL As bad as that was, choice of words in front of the kids walking nearby was uncalled for.

I didn't see this as political, but will move it.

No, this is NOT from the Onion. http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2012/04/22/university-of-florida-eliminates-computer-science-department-increases-athletic-budgets-hmm/ Wow, no one saw this coming. The University of Florida announced this past week that it was dropping its computer science department, which will allow it to save about $1.7 million $1.4 million. The school is eliminating all funding for teaching assistants in computer science, cutting the graduate and research programs entirely, and moving the tattered remnants into other departments. Let’s get this straight: in the midst of a technology revolution, with a shortage of engineers and computer scientists, UF decides to cut computer science completely? Students at UF have already organized protests, and have created a website dedicated to saving the CS department. Several distinguished computer scientists have written to the president of UF to express their concerns, in very blunt terms. Prof. Zvi Galil, Dean of Computing at Georgia Tech, is “amazed, shocked, and angered.” Prof. S.N. Maheshwari, former Dean of Engineering at IIT Delhi, calls this move “outrageously wrong.” Computer scientist Carl de Boor, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and winner of the 2003 National Medal of Science, asked the UF president “What were you thinking?” (Note to the students, if you need more quotes for your site: I think this move is shockingly short-sighted. The University of Florida is moving backwards while the rest of the world moves ahead.) Meanwhile, the athletic budget for the current year is $99 million, $97.7 million, an increase of more than $2 million from last year. The increase alone would offset the savings supposedly gained by cutting computer science. Now, I’m not saying that UF has chosen football over science. (Imagine the outcry, though, if UF cut a major sport instead of a major science department.) Actually, the real villains here are the Florida state legislators, who have cut the budget for their flagship university by 30% over the past 6 years. Meanwhile, just two days ago, Florida governor Rick Scott approved the creation of a brand-new public university, Florida Polytechnic University, to be located near the city of Tampa. In an unintentionally ironic statement, Gov. Scott said “At a time when the number of graduates of Florida’s universities in the STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] fields is not projected to meet workforce needs, the establishment of Florida Polytechnic University will help us move the needle in the right direction.” Heads up, Gov. Scott: no one is going to believe that you’re supporting technical education when your flagship university is eliminating its Computer Science Department. Since cutting support for universities seems to be a major agenda item for you and the legislature, why stop at 30%? With just a bit more cutting, you could get rid of those annoying universities entirely. Let the rest of the country worry about higher education! Florida can focus on orange groves and golf courses. Oh, and football. [Note to readers, 1:15pm Monday 23 April: many commenters have correctly pointed out that the University Athletic Association, which funds athletics at UF, maintains a separate budget from the University of Florida. The UAA Director reports to the President of UF. Also, two numbers which differed slightly from what had been published by the sources cited were changed to reflect information sent by the university after publication. A response from UF is here.]

to find his wife is packing her suitcase. He asks where she's going, and she says she's leaving him. He asks why, and she says "I heard in Vegas you can make $500 for having sex" so he grabs his suitcase and starts packing too She asks him where he's going. He says "Vegas - I wanna see how you're gonna live on a $1000 a year"

Even after buying that argument, you're talking about a couple hundred people in the largest economy in the world. We have much bigger problems than that. Read this, and tell me where the CEO compensation problem ranks compared to this problem http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/study-hospitals-billings-shocks-researchers-appendix-removal-cost-1-500-180-000-depending-surgery-article-1.1066207

Couple of questions for you: 1. What companies are included in the list? I have a hard time believing CEO pay is that crazy if you include privately held companies, including smaller businesses. 2. Question worth considering... why do companies pay their CEOs so much?

can't argue with that logic

need a little advice or help. Dealing with education law specifically. Please PM
