Tornado warnings in chicago, stadium has already announced that people should be prepared to evacuate. -- nm - Truman Nov 17, 09:54 4
- Because a stadium full of people can evacuate faster than a tornado can land if they are prepared? -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 17, 10:04 3
  - I has no idea. Its chicago, maybe the fans thought they could glare it away -- nm - Truman Nov 17, 10:06 2

These are some nasty storms heading to Chicago. Looks to hit Soldier Field right at kickoff. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 17, 09:28 5
- Damn it. Have Marshall and Forte on my 9-1 team. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 17, 09:29 4
  - The storms likely mean more work for Forte. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 17, 09:33 1
    - True. I always think of him being a 50/50 ground/air guy. Not sure why as it is more like 70/30, if that. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 17, 09:38
  - probably good for Forte as they should be running alot -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 09:31 1
    - One of the options was if moving fans out of seats the game would go on. I about 40 miles NE and it's booming out there. - zunk xometimes Nov 17, 09:36

Do we have any other Tony Hillerman fans? Have you seen the new book written by his daughter? - Meg Nov 17, 07:34 5
- I've always enjoyed his books....(you guys would like Martin Cruz Smith's early works, Stallion's Gate and Nightwing -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 17, 13:26
- Loved that series and haven't thought about them in years. Time to revisit and look at the new. - zunk xometimes Nov 17, 08:54 1
  - When you know the country the stories are that much more real. It's fun to drive around and see Navajo police cars and find yourself thinking... - Meg Nov 17, 09:01
- Me, me, me! And no, I haven't. What's the title and did she keep Leaphorn and Chee? -- nm - Trish Nov 17, 08:40 1

Okay -- thoughts on Catching Fire's opening weekend --- the first did about 158mil iirc; HSX has this optioned at 170mil - Will Hunting Nov 17, 07:29 14
- Slam dunk. -- nm - David Nov 17, 08:31
- No. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 17, 08:07
- The first was well received, so I don't see why not. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:06
- Is there a theoretical box office ceiling? Can it beat Avengers? -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 08:05 8
  - Remember when such a ceiling was $100M? It was a simpler time... - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:06 7
    - Indeed. As for my question, I don't think it can beat Avengers. Thus far (which means nothing in box office of course) opening in Nov is NOT like May. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 08:18 6
      - I put almost no stock in release date. But the biggest reason is that it hasn't given any reason to explode the franchise. - Reagen Nov 17, 08:32 3
        
        Right, I really wonder if they've not reached their ceiling with the first movie here... - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:37 2
        
        how have the DVD/Blu Ray sales been? Might be an even bigger market if they have been strong -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:39
        
        Exactly. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 17, 08:38
      - I agree there. Plus, Hunger Games doesn't have the appeal to adults that The Avengers did -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 08:26 1
        
        I think they're going after the female 18-39 range. Cover Girl put out an award-winning couture line based on Girl on Fire. - Trish Nov 17, 10:49
- I think so. Sequels open bigger, the weekend before Thanksgiving is a huge box office weekend that has been dominated by other teen franchises for the - Roger More Nov 17, 07:55 1
  - Plus, isn't this considered the best of the books? -- nm - Dano Nov 17, 08:05
Rob Ford on SNL last night -- (link) - Beaker Nov 17, 07:22 [youtube] 3
- With all the material he's been giving us, this is the best they could do? - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 17, 08:34 2
  - yes, I thought it was weak overall as well -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:39
  - They probably did not think they would be in this week. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 17, 08:38

UFC spoils - stewie Nov 17, 05:03 12
- I don't get the venom. GSP clearly won Rounds Three and Five, Hendricks Rounds Two and Four. Tie goes to the champ in Round One. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 06:51 8
  - I agree with Dana, GSP only won round 3 - stewie Nov 17, 07:24 3
    - If there was a cleanest clear round in GSP's favour, it was Five. Also, just noticed this stat on Round One. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 07:32 2
      - dana said after the fight when he was in ring, before the decision, "GSP's corner knew he lost" - stewie Nov 17, 07:38 1
        
        Well sure, they had no idea which way Round One was going. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 07:40
  - Yeah, after some reflection, I agree. - Dignan Nov 17, 07:03 3
    - That was my favorite "sharp" Twitter take last night: GSP looked mangled against Diaz too, but won every round there. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 07:30
    - The article I read - Strongbad Nov 17, 07:14 1
      - GSP hasn't been aggressive in 5 years -- nm - stewie Nov 17, 07:25
- Dana on the fight - stewie Nov 17, 05:06 2
  - I love Dana White. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 05:42 1

China raises its donation amount to the Philippines to whole $1.6m. Ikea has donated more to the disaster relief effort. -- (link) - Krusty Nov 17, 04:12 12
- Thay also are made at the phillipines for claiming some mineral rites in the south china sea - Truman Nov 17, 07:42 1
  - -e -- nm - Truman Nov 17, 08:09
- they don't donate much and never have. I think this is their biggest donation ever -- nm - CQ Nov 17, 04:28 9
  - They can't act and talk like they want to be an influential world power and then not help out when disaster strikes. - Krusty Nov 17, 04:41 8
    - Sure they can. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 05:20 6
      - They won't have any influence without doing the things that world powers do. There's more to it than just selling a lot of goods. - Krusty Nov 17, 05:45 5
        
        Think about how America reacts to "the rest of the world thinks this is ridiculous." - mafic Nov 17, 07:36
        
        Sure they will. A lot of economies around the world rely on China buying their stuff, and there aren't many countries with more military power. - Roger More Nov 17, 06:13 3
        
        I disagree. The Philippines won't be buying anything from them now. - Krusty Nov 17, 06:52 2
        
        China's influence doesn't come from what it sells, it comes from what it buys. - Roger More Nov 17, 07:32 1
        
        And democracy aside; growth in the region is effectively tied to China. - mafic Nov 17, 07:52
    - agreed -- nm - CQ Nov 17, 04:57

Okay, I'm so confused. This makes no sense to me. The testing strips that I use with my insulin pump are not a "preferred" brand of strip, which means - kelly Nov 16, 22:59 8
- Grrr, sfek. - kelly Nov 16, 23:02 7
  - six months? as annoying as it would be to have to pay it all at once, by the time you demand an explan, they reply, you object, string it out 6 month -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 17, 01:21
  - I would call the insurance company and ask if they've processed a claim from that company for you. Then I'd call the company, ask that they take them - Trish Nov 17, 00:34 4
    - I buy the Relion glucose tabs all the time. Hate their alcohol wipes though - I like BD, they are so much thicker. - elf kelly Nov 17, 05:55 3
      - My One-Touch died on me a couple of weeks ago, right before I needed to buy test strips. That's when I discovered the Relion Prime for $9/pkg. - Trish Nov 17, 08:38 2
        
        Right. If you can get your hands on a One Touch meter though (I don't think I have any left but I'll look) I have some strips if you want them. - elf kelly Nov 17, 09:26 1
