There are lots of bands that have changed their styles over time. Bands that had lots of Top 40 hits sometimes started out with completely different sounds. Post some of your favorite early songs by bands considered Top 40 bands when they were Prog or represented other styles of music. Live rec...

Born July 1st, 1945. She was older during her prime than most people realize. I wonder how many teenage boys realized that the poster of the woman on their bedroom wall was their mom's age. [img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCg-ClK5YJHrFKKoXxXLwtkaOliSFG0Y6EMw&s[/img]...

With the two leagues merged, less teams competing for the better talent, and a couple of seasons under their belts, the games have been a pretty high quality this season. I've enjoyed having the option to watch football this Spring. The league is still challenged with low attendance with the excep...

Just curious if anyone thinks they will ever be considered for an opening. Skip Holtz is 19-3 with the Stallions, has won both the championships and the team appears to be even more dominate this season. The USFL / UFL is probably a pretty easy gig for the pay, so maybe they aren't interested. ...

That is probably pretty conservative. Using the same example, if you are making $150K the year you retire, a 5% rate of return-on-in...

I don't want anyone banned so don't get too carried away. What are some of your favorite sketches that would upset the apple cart too much today to be shown? [link=(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijIfNwqzdzs)]Jamie Kennedy Experiment - Spring Break "That's a dude, dude"[/link]...

[quote]I think when people say that nowadays they just mean a non DR Horton/DSLD house.[/quote] To clarify, we are having someone draw up a home based on a floor plan we developed with custom built cabinets, 10-foot ceilings, etc. So not choosing from a book of model options in a contractor's ca...
