  1. I didn't mean the card, just the requirement.
  2. Is this really a question? USCIS - After a Green Card is Granted
  3. So, nobody thinks that it is comical that people would be worried about traveling to Arizona because "students' safety or liberty might be placed at risk because of state immigration law." I'm going to make sure area schools here don't travel to Massachusetts. For the safety of unsuspecting children who might be propositioned by all the homosexuals wanting to get married.
  4. I don't remember reading about a replacement trip. Is that in a new story? Here's a nice quote from a parent in a different story about the canceled trip: "(Fornero's reasoning is) what really disturbs me," Evans said. "I don't know what the value and beliefs of a basketball tournament are. The district has approved student trips to China, South America and the Czech Republic, but somehow Arizona would be more risky for our students?" That story did not mention a replacement trip either.
  5. I know if I were a parent of one of the kids, I would be pretty hacked off. Using high school kids who have worked hard for something as a pawn in a political statement is in pretty poor taste. Plus, the effects of the law are way overblown. Everyone here makes it sound as if they are rounding everyone up of Mexican descent and placing them in internment camps. Thus, this quote from the assistant superintendent rings extremely hollow: “We cannot commit at this time to playing at a venue where some of our students’ safety or liberty might be placed at risk because of state immigration law.
  6. It is pretty ridiculous that the team isn't going to be able to go.
  7. Agree completely. I also managed to wait until I got the album in the mail (we did it!).
  8. Revisiting this one after a while. Man, is it good.
  9. I'm not sure why that is so bothersome. The Richard episode this year was excellent, and this was in the same vein. And it was pretty effective as far as origin stories go, except for some poor child acting. There are still 3.5 hours left. That's a lot of time to finish the story properly with some good setup from this episode.
  10. Good to hear. The important thing now is to make sure y'all both follow through. In some ways, the initial talk is the easy part.
  11. The kid actors were not very good.
  12. Personally, I think that's kind of ridiculous. But I'm not sure of the reasons behind her feelings. That would be my first question. I've never particularly liked my wife's dad and stepmom, but you learn to deal with it.
  13. Are you suggesting The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are anything less than outstanding films?
  14. Been listening to the LP all weekend long. Another great one. They are on the verge of becoming my favorite band.
  15. I was surprised you "missed" the review.
  16. It has seemed to me that milestone birthdays only really affect those that consider birthdays a big deal. My wife had a tough time with turning 30 a couple of months ago. But she's always treated birthdays as momentous occasions. Thirty was just another day for me, and I suspect it will be the same for me in the future.
  17. How is that? I run hot and cold on Josh Ritter.
  18. They loved it. They reviewed it a few weeks ago, I think. EDIT: Pitchfork review
  19. Granted, it usually takes some pretty poor defense from the opponent.
  20. Those are both tough, though. The lowest level league is always going to see the biggest discrepancy between the good teams and bad teams. That team could go 2-6 in the next highest level. Also, an 11-run lead in softball can be erased pretty quickly. No reason to swing at bad pitches.
  21. Bring on the DH! It's long overdue in the National League.
  22. Probably true. I think people are just reluctant to get involved. In a somewhat related story, there were two men here in Fort Worth that went next door to help a new neighbor move in. The next morning they were both found shot to death. Obviously, these situations are very different, but I think it highlights why people would rather do the prudent thing and just stay away.
