While we're getting ST shopping advice, can someone recommend an iPod car adapter? - David Oct 5, 11:58 13
- The best one I've seen was one made by Monster (I know, I know, way over priced) - it had almost no interference -- nm - decline Oct 5, 12:00
- aux in? -- nm - Psilotum Air Oct 5, 12:00 10
  - My 2005 doesn't have one. They became standard around 2007. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:00 9
    - That's the best way, besides a hard-wired plug. FM transmitters, cassette adapters blow. -- nm - Psilotum Air Oct 5, 12:10
    - Really? My 2005 Saturn has one. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:02 7

Tony Parker to play, in France, for $2K a month. France, Italy, China? How about putting on some basketball clinics, for inner city kids, until.... - Flavorize Oct 5, 11:56 5
- i dunno, he's a basketball player who grew up in france. doesn't seem like a huge reach....nm - x Oct 5, 11:59 2
  - yeah, i don't see the problem. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:00
  - and VP of the team. I do like that a lot of TTers have higher salaries than Tony Parker does right now, though. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:00

- werewolves? -- nm - loosilu Oct 5, 11:53
- They are very nice (extremely sharp) but you have to be very careful with them because the chip fairly easily -- nm - decline Oct 5, 11:53 3
  - so you need to use them on a softer cutting board surface -- nm - decline Oct 5, 11:55 2
    - a wooden cutting board would be fine, wouldn't it? -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 11:56 1
      - right (but avoid the really hard ones like bamboo) -- nm - decline Oct 5, 11:58
"A University of Missouri official says the school hopes to join the SEC but would have preferred an offer from the Big Ten. -- nm - David Oct 5, 11:50 24

  - Will this impact the Frozen Four any? -- nm - David Oct 5, 11:52 11
    - I don't think the final structure changed much, just that there's now a Big Ten conference now with an invite, and there's a few teams left in the - Reagen Oct 5, 11:55 10
      - Which state's Huntsville is this? I presume a very northern one. -- nm - David Oct 5, 11:56 9

        Coached by -that- Chris Luongo? Now I'm convinced you're pranking me. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:02 5
        
        They're hosting the Frozen Four this year! -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 12:04 2
        
        (technically Tampa is, but they're the closest school) -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 12:05 1
        
        I debated a similar IM but I couldn't rule out that it's hockey's answer to Smith. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:06
        
        Oh wait, wrong Luongo. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:04 1
        
        well that's the first time that sentence has ever been uttered. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 12:04
- The official also said that they would still prefer the Big Ten, but that the conference has no interest. - David Oct 5, 11:50 9
  - They want ND and thats all is my guess -- nm - eag Oct 5, 11:53
  - We want real schools, not just adding for the sake of it. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 5, 11:53 4
    - A high-reputation school with better athletic programs than half the Big Ten? - Will Hunting Oct 5, 11:57 1
      - It's mind boggling to me. The only thing that would make sense is if Notre Dame has put the word out they won't join if Missouri does. -- nm - David Oct 5, 11:59
    - Then forget my post about ND :) -- nm - eag Oct 5, 11:54
    - Is the Missouri campus sprinkled with pixie dust? -- nm - David Oct 5, 11:54

Oh! I know what I wanted to ask y'all. On the iPad commercial, they show how you can highlight a word in a book and get the definition of it. - TFox Oct 5, 11:39 7
- That is iBooks specifically. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 5, 11:45
- probably iBooks (but the kindle app does this as well) -- nm - decline Oct 5, 11:43 1
  - awesome, good to know. thanks. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 11:45

  - in the Kindle app? -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 11:41 1
    - No, sorry, I missed that part of it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 11:41
- Probably iBooks, I'm sure they're not demoing the Kindle app -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 11:39
may i just say, the mayor of Toronto is the most embarrassing thing ever about our city. -- (link) - Andie Oct 5, 11:35 3
- How in the world did he ever get elected?? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 5, 11:46 1
  - the suburbs. he was all car-friendly, and his slogan was 'cutting the fat at city hall" - Andie Oct 5, 11:48
- with any luck, he'll be caught in an inappropriate relationship with a bucket of extra crispy. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 11:46
parchment paper is less about avoiding burning and more about being able to get the cookie out of the pan, no? - kare Oct 5, 11:34 17
- so like I could use pam? why would they tell me not to? healthier? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 5, 11:46 4
  - you could, it just makes more of a mess to clean up -- nm - decline Oct 5, 11:50 2
    - right. and eventually, after using it enough, the build-up pretty much ruins bakeware. so if you have really nice stuff, that is a reason to avoid it -- nm - kare Oct 5, 12:02 1
      - i did not know this. i never use it, but still, good to know. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 12:03
  - doesn't it have an unpleasant taste? -- nm - loosilu Oct 5, 11:49
- If you have thin pans it can help prevent burning while also preventing sticking -- nm - decline Oct 5, 11:42
- i use the silicon silpat (knockoff) sheets now. i *love* them for this. plus, super-easy clean up. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 11:41 6
  - where can I buy a version of this that doesn't cost a lot? walmart? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 5, 11:48 4
    - oh, for sure. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 11:49 3
      - oh, and, it doesn't matter if it isn't the nice parchment brown of the original silpat. mine are like steel-grey, i've had them for years, and they - Andie Oct 5, 11:51 2
        
        how much do they cost? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 5, 11:58 1
        
        it's been a while, but i'm pretty sure i got 2 cookie sheet sized ones in a package for $12 (?). - Andie Oct 5, 12:01
  - leads to chewier cookies, too. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 11:42
