401  General Boards / PolitiVOL / Re: Saw Lone Survivor Thursday Night, My take on it......................... on: February 14, 2014, 06:45:15 EST
It looked to me like it was filmed around FT Carson, but even so, the terrain is incredible similar to eastern Afghanistan. There were a couple of shots that made me believe that is WAS filmed in Afghanistan. The dense forest areas of the Dewegal and Korengal valleys look remarkable similar 

Obviously you'd know better than me, I was judging it based on the description given in the book where Marcus said when they saw the lack of vegatation they all had a bad feeling because concealment was going to be difficult.
 

the Poshtunwali Code is incredible. If you are accepted as their guest, the will give to you what ever they have and will protect you with their life. We know nothing of hospitality in comparison.

I appreciated getting to see Gulab and Marcus together at the end of the film. I despised the lack of respect the bad guys had for Gulab practicing his faith.

everyone who is gay would announce themselves all on the same day and get it over with, since it appears they must tell us because of course we need to know every detail of their lives or our lives will not be complete, the trickling of the "news" has become annoying IMO. 
403  Sports / VTTW Message Board / How much do you gain if don't have a good class? I think most, I on: February 05, 2014, 07:41:48 EST
know I did, realized when Butch began getting a list of good player committments that it was going to take at least 2 and probably 3 yrs of good recruiting to be where we want to be.
404  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Chatt paper just said Sawyers signed? on: February 05, 2014, 04:35:00 EST
 
405  Sports / VTTW Message Board / That's awesome, my congratulations to Dom! on: January 31, 2014, 07:44:38 EST
 
406  Sports / VTTW Message Board / If nothing else, if I were coaching and witnessed the teams on: January 23, 2014, 01:40:16 EST
inability to make free throws, I'd have them shoot so many free throws they could make them in their sleep. 
407  Sports / VTTW Message Board / McRae is the only shooter & shot creator on the team. on: January 23, 2014, 01:39:06 EST
 
408  General Boards / PolitiVOL / Re: Saw Lone Survivor Thursday Night, My take on it......................... on: January 22, 2014, 05:39:44 EST
I saw it opening day and I had trouble getting into it because I kept recalling the book, that and the fact that the scenery appeared more like the Rockies than the Hindu Kush. I'm anxious to see it again on DVD and see if I can filter out most of my issues better. I really appreciated the tribute at the end...I know Marcus did. If anyone hasn't read the book, do it....it's unbelievable what they went through and the courage of Gulab in the face of the real prospect of his entire village being annihilated.   
409  General Boards / PolitiVOL / IMO there would be fewer heinous acts if the perpetrator knew on: January 22, 2014, 05:32:03 EST
that he'd be subject to what he inflicted, at least as closely as possible. Years sitting in a cell, getting a free education, free healthcare, all on the tax payers dime is insane....give 'em their appeals in a timely fashion and then let them die in the same fashion in which they killed their victims (as closely as possible). 
410  Sports / VTTW Message Board / It amazes me how a QB that can do what Peyton does and has on: January 22, 2014, 01:54:08 EST
accomplished all that he has and owns the records that he owns is questioned at all. I once argued with a guy, this was before his SB victory, who said he wasn't an elite QB because he never won a NC or a SB. I asked if he realized that it is a team sport and the QB is only one of 22 positions on that team, it didn't change his opinion at all, the QB was responsible. So I asked him if he considered Trent Dilfer and Doug Williams elite QBs over the likes of Fran Tarkenton, Dan Fouts, Dan Marino and Peyton and he said yes....I told him he was a stubborn idiot and left. 
411  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Peyton had "an easy day" due to Talib being on: January 21, 2014, 01:59:54 EST
put out by the "dirty hit" was the version I heard. 
412  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I like Blacklist. on: January 16, 2014, 01:43:07 EST
 
413  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I really like Justified....I rewatched the first on: January 06, 2014, 07:40:51 EST
seasons on netflix and I hope this year they get back to some good crime action and characters like in season 1 instead of the personal crap with his ex. 
414  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Well, he was right about one thing on: January 03, 2014, 01:48:48 EST
everyone will be talking about Bama......about how they got their butts handed to them by a Sooner team who got their butt handed to them by Texas who got their butts handed to them by Oregon who got their butts handed to them by Az. I LOVE IT!!!! 
415  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Oh I'm well aware of the love fest but I can't see how a 1 loss on: December 02, 2013, 05:47:50 EST
Bama would be taken over a 1 loss Auburn for sure (head to head would dictate Auburn) or Missouri (Missouri would have played 5 ranked teams and beat the team that beat Bama). Of course when it comes to Bama, nothing is impossible. 
416  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I think Mich St. has a good shot at beating OSU, no way on: December 02, 2013, 03:33:59 EST
Duke beats FSU....Missouri could beat Auburn so I guess they could still make it....why did you have to bring me down like that? 
417  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Let's see.....Bama went from everyone's shoe in as on: December 02, 2013, 01:51:51 EST
SEC Champs and playing for a Nat title and odds on favorite to win it, to not even Alabama STATE champs, NO SEC title and NO Nat Championship game......I LOVE IT. The team that usually gets every break blew it with ONE SECOND TO GO. I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT. Oh yeah and we didn't lose to Kentucky.....great day Saturday. 
418  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I expected it to be Brady, no surprise to me as Brady's on: November 21, 2013, 08:22:49 EST
Patriot teams were much better than the Colts teams Peyton played on...I think QBs get unfairly judged by record when some great QBs played on really bad teams. I had a guy try to tell me that Manning was not an elite QB because, at the time, he had not won a SB and in college he never won a NC. I asked him, if he considered the likes of Doug Williams and Trent Dilfer to be better QBs than Manning, Fouts, Marino because they had won SBs and he said yes. I don't think any NFL coach would take Williams or Dilfer over the other three. I think you have to have a great QB to be a great team, especially a dynasty like the Pat's were, but a great QB can't make a mediocre team a SB champ. 
419  Sports / VTTW Message Board / We wore the smokey gray and lost to Ga, we on: November 19, 2013, 07:02:30 EST
were wearing all orange when we beat SC.....GO BIG ORANGE!!!     I agree with whoever it was...I don't care as long as they win, wear garters and stockings....I JUST WANT A WIN!!
420  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Anyone got a "Health Savings Account" as a health plan? on: November 14, 2013, 05:04:17 EST
Sounds pretty similar to what I'm being offered.  Once I built enough in the account to cover the deductible, it sounds like it would be great.

It was pretty much a wash for us with the knowns calculated, but with the traditional plan there was no potential for additional savings while with the HSA plan there are several that's basically what determined it for me.
421  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Of course it depends on your situation but for me the on: November 14, 2013, 01:46:34 EST
$2600 decrease in premiums accounts for most of the deductible, the company puts $750 in the HSA which, coupled with the premium reduction, makes up the deductible plus some and as you mentioned the tax advantages of contributing pre-tax to the HSA makes more sense for us plus once you meet the deductible it's 90/10 coverage. We also have a FSA for dental and vision. It's never going to be as good as it was 10 yrs ago thanks to O'care.   
422  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I agree with all everyone has said, but the one absolutely on: November 13, 2013, 05:19:31 EST
maddening aspect is how we can't even make shots taken right UNDER THE BASKET!  Many times we don't even hit the frigging rim???? It's like they have no control of their muscles and nerves and their brain tells them "shoot" and their arm just makes an involuntary movement and the ball flies over the rim where the opponent rebounds it and gets a quick easy score on the other end. It's maddening. 
423  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Ah come on, surely there's a good ol "We're gonna kick on: November 08, 2013, 06:39:59 EST
there tails 'cause they suck" article out there to fire the boys up.   
424  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I'm with Creek...while I could name a few winners I haven't on: November 08, 2013, 03:49:26 EST
had any interest in who did since '97 and ESPN's campaign to ensure that Peyton didn't get it. 
425  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I hope Butch has the team watch it over and over and over on: November 08, 2013, 01:43:03 EST
until they understand what "putting a hat on somebody and drive 'em" means!
