Chris, Where did you get yours?

Wish I could watch the Giants v Cards series. At least I'll get to watch the WS.

That would have been useful to read at the beginning of my journey. Update: We are probably going to get a 9" king size latex mattress (x-firm Dunlop, firm Dunlop, and medium Talalay for the top) from www.foamsweetfoam.com (someone mentioned them in this thread and I am too lazy to look it up). Because I have an skin allergy to bandaids (most likely it is just the adhesive) I decided to be careful and get an latex blood allergy test to make sure I don't have a serious allergy to latex. It would suck to find out after having the bed shipped all that way. I'm waiting for the results. Now I just need to decide about the support for the bed. We have a solid wood platform that the mattress could rest on but many places say that a mattress should be able to breathe and so a solid base isn't good. I've thought about converting it to a slat platform by doing something like this. http://www.flobeds.com/products/foundations-legs/slats-for-platform.htm I could also just get a king size frame and this from http://www.sleepez.com/foundations.htm or some cheaper site.

So sorry that I missed that game (stuck on a plane)! Wow, 18 innings.

I tried to get a flu shot this week at my work but they told me I had to get it at my doctor's office because I had a reaction to it last year. So now I have to wait until I get back from Germany.

Feel better Brent, that is no fun.

So I finally decided to put Lacy on my bench this week....

Gene!!!!!!! Welcome back!

I tried my friend's iphone 6+ today and liked that it was less wide that the Note (whatever number) that I tried. It is still way too big for me but wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For example, I could hold it as a phone without worrying about dropping it. I couldn't however reach even half way up the screen with one hand (so even the home button software help didn't help).

Can you do this with the builtin firewall in Windows 8? I can only seem to make rules and deny all connections (incoming or outgoing) that aren't specified in a rule? I would like to block everything and have it ask me everytime there is a new incoming or outgoing connection.

I don't see the problem, I think you would look great in that costume Ric!

Thanks.

It is a super cool program. I'd be happy to know if there was one for Windows as well.

Happy Birthday Santa!

OK

Thanks for the comments! The WRX is way too young/sporty looking for hubby, the new Acura TLX looks very nice. We'll definitely check that out when we get around to test driving cars. We did end up renting a 2014 Ford Fusion (with ecoboost) this weekend and I didn't like it as much as our 2004 Accord v6 so that car is definitely out.

Damn, that sucks.

Is this on integrated graphics or using the extenal gpu? Yuck.

I figured out how to get back the md5 checksum option in disk utility. defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility advanced-image-options 1 I checked the md5 checksum of the iso in terminal and I get a different answer than I do in disk utility, weird. The hash in terminal is correct, the one listed in disk utility is wrong. What is up with that? Edit: Nevermind, I was selecting "MD5 image checksum" instead of "MD5" in disk utility. Evidently they are different.

How do you know they were perfect?

That is from 2009 and I'm not sure that guy knows what he is doing.

How do you check the md5 checksum on a DVD (in Mac OS X 10.8.5)? Disk utility doesn't seem to do it anymore. I downloaded and burned a version of Ubuntu to a DVD and want to check and make sure it burned correctly before installing.

One should always max out with any sort of matching program!

Does anyone know a good alternative to Little Snitch (http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html) on Linux. Little Snitch basically alerts you to any outgoing network connections and allows to to deny or allow the connection.
