Yeah a good coach looks after his players and goes after the guy who did it... Look which two players just walk away,shrugging it off. All the others are just "protecting" their teammate....

maybe cause ocho is a repeat offender? (though i do have problems seeing anything he's done as offensive)

"Privately, GOP sources acknowledge that they failed to anticipate the political consequences of a “no” vote on the amendment. And several aides said that Republicans are engaged in an internal blame game about why they agreed to a roll-call vote on the measure, rather than a simple voice vote that would have allowed the opposing senators to duck criticism."

"Thune is also claiming that Franken doesn’t really care about Jones and other rape victims whose employers have blocked them from seeking justice; he and other Democrats just wanted to “create a vote which they could use to attack Republicans.”"

"So basically, the only lesson they learned is that next time, they have to hide their votes when they decide to screw over women’s rights. That way, they can support their allies in the contracting business and the public will never find out."

I'm pretty disappointed in Evernote for not releasing a client for Android at this point. Their big excuse before was that they were waiting on a new phone to be released before they developed something native. Well, the Droid is out now, and seems to be a bigger deal than the Palm Pre... but no Android app. You guys let me down, Evernote. :(
I know, just disappointed because there were so many people who were upset that they hadn't released for the Android and there was a big todo when they announced the reason why, basically because they wanted to "piggyback" on the release of a phone... well, here's a phone, and no release... I guess it was just a bluff.

Or it's possible that software release schedules aren't tied tightly to the whims of a random US mobile network. Sheesh.

You can use pixelpipe.com for Evernote. Open the Android Market from your handset, search for Pixelpipe, and install.
- compwoman
@jakebf - as I tried to explain (twice), Evernote's team SAID that releases were tied to phone hardware release schedule... not sure why you didn't get the point there.
- Her Lindsay-ness
@compwoman - I tried PixelPipe and didn't like it... my Gmail on the phone works better for me than Pixelpipe did for putting stuff into Evernote for me. The mobile web app Evernote offers isn't awful but it is missing a lot of functionality that a native app would provide. Workarounds are, well, workarounds, and not as good.
- Her Lindsay-ness
Lindsay, they've had a pretty ok Beta release for about 6 months now, didn't you notice I quit chirpping about them not having one?

Mark Steyn would be more convincing if he acknowledged that violent terrorists have emerged from all three major branches of the Abrahamic tradition -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Steyn is not a big thinker -- he's a two-bit propagandist and inciter. I would love to debate him here on these issues. But most neocons tend to run for the hills when confronted with intellectual...

i've added a bookmark that opens in my firefox sidebar to https://www.evernote.com/mobile... : the evernote mobile quick add page. great for jotting a quick note that's not related to a webpage.
I just opened the link and I'm kind of astounded. I had no idea what a deep influence Paul had over at Google. Created GMail? I am in awe. That plus Friendfeed and many other accomplishments. Happy birthday, Paul. I know we get fussy here sometimes about you, but that's only because we love so much what you helped create, and we're terrified at the thought of it vanishing.

apparently I have since I just logged on to the account there that I didn't know I had. I think I dismissed it when I saw it didn't support FF.

Yes I seem to have an account there so I must have played around with it. I tried so many FF clones but never went back a second time to any of them

@Richard Cunningham - thanks for adding to the thread...did not know you were on FF. :)
- JA Castillo
Richard, you don't need to be like FF... although maybe you could consider adding it to your services.
- Jim Hearts FF
Yes I have considered it and several people have asked, though I have not had the time to yet
- Richard Cunningham
@JA Castillo I'm not a particularly regular user of FF though I would probably use it more if we had it in FriendBinder. I saw a link to this discussion on my twitter search that I subscribe to in friendbinder [via RSS] (how very meta)
- Richard Cunningham
I played with it a while back when I was looking for a site like FF but it wasn't that great so I dismissed it.

@Richard Cunningham - meta, indeed! I am curious about your service and look to give it a try this week. I appreciate your input.
- JA Castillo
@Andrew Trinh we have done a lot of work on the site since you last logged in, so you might want to check us again. That said we are not trying to be a social network like FF
- Richard Cunningham
I will have another look later, I never said it was to be a social site but I was looking for the integrated feeds of different social networking aspect of FF and SocialThing at the time.

You know, I have never seen this. I only know it from my kids and my friend Eric. My cultural literacy just increased immeasurably (and died a little in the process).
- Rochelle Rochelle
Ouch! I just feel about 30 years older than I am. I'm also annoyed because the property itself contains no trees. Aside from a few leaves from the shrubbery, all of those leaves are from the neighbors' trees.
- Katy S
See, that there is a summer's worth of mulch for the lawn ;)
- Michael W. May
As much work as it is, I miss having a yard with a huge maple tree like I had growing up. It was SO much fun to make piles and jump in them. I love the smell of those leaves.
- Rochelle
OH MY! Was it the same this year? I'd also suggest a leaf blower. I only have leaves from my plants to deal with, but even that's a headache.
- Anika
If you live in an area where that volume of leaves isn't that common, you could probably go on Craig's List and find a gardener who would rake them for you just to have the ingredients for composting.
- Spidra Webster
Anika - it's probably going to be close to that. I've done some raking already, but yesterday's storm pretty much knocked most of the rest of the leaves off of the trees so there's a lot more to do. I'm trying to think of it as exercise that is good for me.
- Katy S
Wow . . . I just let mine rot on the lawn. It makes good fertilizer . . . right? right?
- Lindsey is Fierce!
Trust me, I'm extremely tempted. The only thing that stops me is knowing just how thick they were on the ground last year before I raked and took this photo. It would get nasty during the winter. I'd hate to have to tromp through that mixed with snow to get to the lake (I like walks on a frozen lake).
- Katy S
But don't the dead leaves like keep your plants protected in the winter? Even here in LA, I keep some leaves to the side to protect the roots of my tropical plants during winter nights.
- Anika
As the proud owner of 4 oaks on a fifth of an acre, I definitely use my leaves as mulch and for composting. If you layer them about 3 inches thick in your flower beds, water well, and then cover with your normal mulch of choice they'll rot about halfway down by spring.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
The only perennials on the property are the type that don't need that kind of protection. There are plants that do, like rose bushes, but none of these need it. They were chosen because they require little work or care. All of my herbs and other delicate plants are in pots and I bring them inside.
- Katy S
yeah. This year is close to the same, the only difference is that I have multiple small piles instead of this one huge monster pile. There are still leaves left on the trees, but I've raked a lot of what's out there so far. Now I just need to bag it.
- Katy S
I never really minded raking leaves or shoveling snow. That being said, I don't live in a place where I have to do either anymore.
- Andy Bakun
Oh wait, how could I forget. I have gutters to clean out, too! I wouldn't mind so much if more than a few token leaves fell on the properties the trees belong to, but they all seem to fall in my space.

"The point is that Lieberman is a full-blown wingnut, blowing racist dog whistles and lying his head off, with absolutely zero respect for the truth. The dirty hippie crowd on the blogs has felt this way about him for a long time, but it’s always nice to see one’s predictions confirmed so nicely. Except for the part where he’s screwing over the country."
