Favre to retire, supposedly: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/foot...ment/index.html Maybe it'll stick this time.

They've updated their site and this item is no longer posted -- can someone provide a summary?

I'm guessing they'd just bought some weed from Weir, or something.

Hanson?

They apologized to Sir Paul for it during one of their acceptance speeches.

Was it just on my TV, or did the live mix absolutely suck for U2?

Some people make everything about race. Add Jemele Hill to that list.

Because we watch whatever we want to watch, not what people like you think we should watch. Train wrecks can be fun too.

Because it sucks.

She's got a voice. Whether she's able to parlay it into a sustained career remains to be seen. I hear that "Chasing Pavements" song pretty often. Not bad, really. She writes nearly all of her own stuff.

More recently he did a few Miracle-Gro commercials. I was just watching part of Tora! Tora! Tora! the other day, in which he played Adm. Halsey.

I'm not technically in Tornado Alley, but much of this rings true for me. We get our share of tornadoes in Michigan, and I had one go right through my neighborhood in 1980.

Today I've been listening to SBS on vinyl for the first time...

Busted!

I still hate "What Light" and don't love "Walken," but love the rest of the album.

Agreed. There was a bit of filler on the first two albums, but overall they were strong, even if they sound a bit dated now. I bought the White Nights soundtrack just to get "Far Post" on CD.

I can't believe that hasn't already been done.

Yeah, I forget sometimes that people use Macs for this stuff (sorry about that, nodep5). Thanks for chiming in, EphSooner. Hopefully xAct is as easy to use as FLAC Frontend.

Or use Winamp and you don't even have to convert the FLACs. FLACs are ridiculously easy to deal with. Trader's Little Helper sounds even easier than what I do, which is itself extremely easy but involves more steps: Download and install something called "FLAC Frontend," which is free. Open it. Drag the FLAC files onto the FLAC Frontend window. Specify the folder where you want the converted files to go. Click the Decode button. That gets you WAV files. Once you have WAVs, you can burn them to CD, or use any one of the hundreds of applications (many of which are free) that can convert the
