  1. Ummmm, it was his mother-in-law, who was apparently suffering from severe stomach pains. http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/08/tiger-woods-mother-in-laws-911-elin-nordegren-barbro-holmberg/
  2. Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again - The Fortunes
  3. Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds
  4. Some smooth jazz version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer that segued into Frosty the Snowman.
  5. Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
  6. I thought Ricky Nelson did that song? Unless you're thinking of Can't Help Falling In Love. Rush, Rush - Paula Abdul
  7. 31 °F / -1 °C Clear Windchill: 30 °F / -1 °C Humidity: 76% Dew Point: 24 °F / -4 °C Wind: Calm Pressure: 30.34 in / 1027 hPa (Falling) Visibility: 10.0 miles / 16.1 kilometers UV: 0 out of 16 Clouds: Clear - (Above Ground Level) Elevation: 968 ft / 295 m I just had to run my dog outside and only had a thin hoodie downstairs to throw on......it's really god damn cold out there!
  8. I believe Verizon is going to be picking up the iPhone - it's why my sister wants one next year. Of course she can't afford it, but that won't stop her from wanting it.
  9. I'm about as far from a rap/hip-hop fan as a person can get, but I absolutely love that song and play it constantly. I think it shows how talented Jay-Z is that someone like me could appreciate a song that he's done.
  10. This is basically everything I've heard/read about this case. If you're an accomplice to a crime, whether you've physically committed any acts is irrelevant. If she didn't kill Meredith Kercher, but stood idly by while the other person DID, and she didn't make any attempts to stop him, call the police.....anything at all to save her life, she's a murderer just the same. The same as if you and a buddy drive down to the liquor store and while you're sitting in the car, he holds the place up and jumps in the car and tells you to speed away - the minute you drive away, you're now the getaway driver in an armed robbery. It doesn't matter if you didn't know what your buddy's intentions were before he got out of the car. She deserves to sit in prison. If she or her family doesn't like that, maybe she shouldn't have been complicit in someone's murder.
  11. In what way? I have no issue with the concept of Jesus being taught in school, provided it's taught in the correct context and in the correct class. Science class, surely you understand, is no place for it.
  12. 44.1 °F / 6.7 °C Overcast Windchill: 44 °F / 7 °C Humidity: 74% Dew Point: 36 °F / 2 °C Wind: Calm Wind Gust: 0.0 mph / 0.0 km/h Pressure: 30.13 in / 1020.2 hPa (Rising) Visibility: 10.0 miles / 16.1 kilometers UV: 0 out of 16 Clouds: Overcast 4400 ft / 1341 m (Above Ground Level) Elevation: 935 ft / 284 m
  13. How can you expect a child to learn anything when you're not teaching them anything. Trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth to placate one group of people gets you a net gain of exactly zilch.
  14. Excuse me, but I feel you're incorrect here. I don't think nor have I ever said that creationism should be banished from schools. It should be taught where it belongs, which is a Theology or Religious Studies class, right along with the creation stories of all the other major world religions. Creationism is not science and it does not belong in a science class. That is fact. Evolution is science-based. Therefore it belongs in a science class and nowhere else. That is also fact. You wouldn't teach evolution in Trigonometry class, would you? You wouldn't see creationism in PE, would you? Please provide an example of a lesson that can be taught to students in grade 11 that is "fair to both sides". I'd like to know how you can teach both at the same time, since they are antithetical to each other.
  15. I think what I was driving at was that Creationism teaches that God created everything in 6 days, blah blah blah. Evolution does not. So in a way, evolution is the opposite of creationism, in so far as discussing how we all came to be.
  16. Thanks for the comment, but I'm not from North Carolina - I just live here. I was born in Chicago.
