  1. Been sneeting in Frisco for the last few hours. NDSU is gonna feel right at home for their game against Jimmy Madison at 11AM. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Took a CE course at Brookhaven in Dallas and it was great. The one thing I learned after the basics is you gotta practice practice practice practice practice... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  6. It was pretty special. After the show my wife was convinced Byrne was an alien sent to earth to teach us about music. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Saw them at the Fair Park Bandshell in ‘90. Escape from New York tour. Ramones, Blondie and Tom Tom Club. They played their stuff, some of Harrison’s solo stuff and some TH stuff. Genius of Love is one of the coolest songs ever. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Byrne did the Latin stuff early in his solo career. He did Rei Momo and also released some compilations of Latin artists on his Luka Bop label. I saw his Rei Momo tour at The Fair Park Bandshell in ‘90. It was great. An orchestra of top notch Latin musicians. Early summer and you could see lightning in the distance from a big thunderstorm behind the stage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Damn that sucks. One of my High School buddies was a musician and worked part time at a car lot. This happened to him over a used BMW: On Dec. 6 Smith and Ables left a local car lot in a black 2001 BMW. Following him in his mother’s Ford Taurus was Charlotte Nioche Davis, 18. In the back seat of the Taurus were her 12-year-old brother and Smith’s 2-year-old sister. “He had him traveling around under the guise he was going to show the car to somebody,” Haltom said of Smith’s actions shortly before he shot Ables in rural Arkansas. “He shot him in the head and then kicked him into a ditch. He was still moving around, so he shot him two more times.” Davis told police Smith motioned the 12-year-old to join him before Ables was shot, according to court documents. After shooting him once in the head, Smith kicked Ables’ body into a deep ditch and lost his shoe in the process, Haltom said. Smith sent the 12-year-old down the slope to recover his shoe. When Ables began to move slightly, Haltom says Smith shot him two more times. According to witnesses who told police Smith had confided in them about the killing, Smith told them Ables had told him he could take the car and that he didn’t have to shoot him with the chrome colored .357 magnum he carried. “It’s a Beamer,” was the response Smith told others he gave to Ables seconds before ending the man’s life.

  10. I fell in love with British sports cars when I was a kid and my Dad’s friend would take me out in his TR3. I actually owned a Spitfire and a TR3A for a while so I know what it takes to keep them up. When I decided to get something just for fun I found a 2005 Mazdaspeed MX5. RWD, 6 speed manual and factory turbo. Reliable and still fun 8 years later. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Plenty of recalls for tipping hazards but not as big as IKEA with probably around 30m recalled. One million dressers sold exclusively at Kmart recalled over tipping, entrapment hazard.

  12. The 50 lb standard was not a mandate but voluntary. They had been selling the dressers for ages overseas without reported incident. That’s why their 2016 recall was only North America. I think later China and maybe Australia said “Hey! We want one too.” Not sure but I don’t think any of the incidents occurred with units that were properly secured per assembly instructions. They re designed all dressers to meet the 50lb standard after the recall. Not sure how many dressers were returned in US but people would buy them off Craigslist etc and return them for full credit, sometimes bringing in 6 or more on flat bed trailers.

  14. Gotta do better closing out games. “In reality, though, Saturday night’s home overtime loss to Charlotte continued a season-long trend of head-scratching results, often characterized by poor late execution and an inability to close out winnable games. More than half of the Mavericks’ 13 defeats can be characterized as bad losses. In short, Dallas is in the process of blowing a promising season. Consider the mounting evidence, if you can stomach it: -- The Mavericks lead the NBA in offensive rating (115.3), but are 28th in offensive rating (92.3) in clutch situations – that is, within the last five minutes of games when the differential is five points or fewer. Only New Orleans (86.0) and Atlanta (79.6) have worse clutch ratings. “Let me do some homework on it and I’ll try to get you a better answer,” Carlisle said Saturday night, when asked about the clutch rating following the Charlotte loss, a game from which Dallas rallied from a 20-point deficit, yet led by six with 1:39 left in regulation. “Now’s not a great time to try to analyze that, but it’s pretty well proven that in any league playing from behind is a losing proposition.” -- The Mavericks are 10-8 at home, including defeats to 15-23 Charlotte, 13-23 Sacramento, 10-25 New York and 15-21 Portland. -- The Mavericks are 0-3 in overtime games. -- In nearly half (six) of their losses, they have led with 42-or-fewer seconds remaining in regulation and/or overtime. Four of those defeats have come at home. Those six losses are to Charlotte, Oklahoma City, Toronto, Miami, the Lakers and Portland, and three of the defeats have occurred in the last two weeks. The Mavericks lost a seven-point lead in the final 2:42 at Oklahoma City, and they led by six with 1:39 left in regulation against the Hornets on Saturday. “Terrible decisions,” Doncic said after the Charlotte loss. “I’ve got to do better. ... We could have won it, but I made terrible decisions.” -- In fairness to Doncic, but of no solace to the Mavericks, the NBA referees’ final-two-minute report released Sunday acknowledged that Dwight Powell was incorrectly called for a shooting foul with the Mavericks leading by six and 1:39 left in regulation; and that Doncic drew a foul with 1:59 left in overtime and should have been awarded free throws with Dallas trailing by two. That marks at least the fourth time this season in which errors acknowledged in two-minute reports factored into Mavericks defeats. That doesn’t count the controversial coaches challenge that Portland won with 9.4 seconds left in a two-point victory. -- Six of the Mavericks’ 13 losses have come in games in which they led by double-digit margins, including Saturday night’s 12-point lead over Charlotte with 9:09 left, and the franchise-record-tying 30-point blown lead at Toronto.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. My dad was a portrait photographer when I was little and had a Rollei similar to the one I found. Was always fascinated with it for some reason. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  18. I’m not much of a photographer but stumbled across this at an estate sale in an old ranch house south of Cleburne and couldn’t pass it up. I’ve only taken one roll of T-Max 100 test shots. It’s challenging for a novice like me but pretty fun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  22. This is a loss for Dallas. As I said, I have been a fan of his and his restaurants for a very long time. Bummer. Met him several times and he was always very nice. My friend got a culinary degree from El Centro and went to work at Nana for Anthony Bombaci. When Pyles came back to Dallas and opened his place on Ross he hired her as his Sous Chef.
