OMG Spoilers!
So this week's comic revealed that yes, Mrs. McCarty and her posse are responsible for the current smoky state of the Z Ranch. It's entirely possible that this surprised no one.
But you know, that's okay. I find there's entirely too much emphasis these days on twist endings and endings in general, where the destination eclipses all thought of enjoying the ride to get there. There are a lot of people out there who have come to a point where, if someone reveals the ending of a book/movie/etc., they feel as if their whole experience is irrevocably ruined. In extreme cases they now refuse to read/watch/listen, because why bother? They know how it turns out.
I've never been able to understand it. Is there really nothing to be said for the journey? Have our narratives become that fragile, that the moment Point B becomes clear, we lose all motivation to reach it?
Keep in mind that for thousands of years, the exact opposite was the case. If you've ever been to a production of Ancient Greek or Shakespearean drama, they employ Prologues as a matter of course, such as the famous one that begins Romeo & Juliet:
Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-marked love
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, naught could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage—
The which, if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
If the language is giving you trouble, let me just put it this way: Romeo & Juliet commit suicide, and that tragedy will finally convince their two warring families to make peace. The play is telling you that straight up at the very beginning; yet if you posted a summary like this for a modern movie, to a modern internet forum, you'd be raked over the coals for ruining the plot. Shakespeare and Sophocles weren't afraid of telling you "Dumbledore dies", they used it as a hook to keep your interest as they brought you on the journey. Like the Columbo mysteries where the culprit and crime was always revealed at the beginning, making them not so much "whodunit?" as "howdhecatchem?"
I had someone get legitimately mad at me for "spoiling" the end of the movie 300 for them, which for me makes as much sense as someone claiming you spoiled Titanic because you tell them the ship sinks. But I'm sure someone has done just that. This obsessive need to avoid spoilers at all costs has gotten way out of hand, and feeds back into creators who feel a need to throw in more and more ludicrous twists to keep their audience guessing. An infamous example comes from the DC Universe crossover event Armageddon 2001, where the identity of the mystery villain was leaked before the end, and rather than soldier on with the carefully constructed foreshadowing of the series so far, DC decided to chuck everything and insert a nonsensical last minute change to preserve the "surprise".
And that was back in 1991, before the Internet existed in its current form. Nowadays entire messageboards exist to comb over the latest clues in an ongoing series in near instantaneous fashion. If you have enough fans, then guess what? Some of them are going to pick up on the trail of breadcrumbs, and it's only human at that point to want to show the path to others. Should you derail your narrative because they've figured out where it's headed?
I say no. I say, focus on the journey and let the destination stand. For one thing, there will always be things some consider blindingly obvious that others will completely miss. Never assume that "Everyone could see this coming" is any kind of true statement… usually it just means those who didn't either remain quiet out of fear of being thought stupid, or aren't really paying attention to forums and comments anyhow. For another thing, if the journey is good enough, then it shouldn't matter, and those who figured it out ahead of time are going to just feel gratified rather than disappointed. Or maybe they'll be disappointed… you can't control every last opinion. But it's better than chucking everything, isn't it?
But let's all take a breath and calm down about the spoilers. Yes, we love to be surprised and taken in unexpected directions, but that shouldn't be the only thing, or fiction eventually just dissolves into a senseless mass of WHAM! moments. They're great, but as a writer don't make them the end-all-be-all or you'll end up with an unsustainable case of Shyamalan Syndrome. And as an audience member, take the fact you know the truth about Keyser Soze or Malcolm Crowe before you watch those movies as a liberation rather than a disaster. It's a lot less stressful on both sides.
Plus, even if you knew it was the McCarty gang, maybe you didn't figure out it was their own bulldozer on fire…

The Space
This location is an ideal base of operations for work or travel. Close to everything!
5 minutes to Palo Alto (10-15 minutes to Stanford)
10 minutes to Mountain View and Redwood City
20-25 minutes to both the San Francisco and San Jose airports.
Free driveway parking
Fast WIFI
The room has:
- a queen-sized bed
- fresh towels
- a desk with basic office supplies
- a big closet with pants/dress hangers and plenty of space for your suitcases
- hair styling appliances (hair dryer, flat iron, curling iron)
- an iron & ironing board
- basic toiletries in case you forget anything at home
Guest Access
Guests have access to common space (including a shared bathroom), free driveway parking, and the beautiful private backyard garden and patio. There is a hammock under the palm tree in the back yard. I invite all guests to try it out because nothing beats enjoying the CA sunshine and listening to the swish-swish of the palm fronds!
Guest kitchen use is limited to beverages. Coffee & coffeemaker, tea, and cocoa are provided.
Interaction with Guests
I want you to feel welcome and comfortable while you are here. If for you that means keeping to yourself and just crashing here at night, that's totally fine! If you prefer to have a friendly chat when we cross paths, that's also great!
The Neighborhood
Friendly & diverse residential neighborhood. Lots of families and kids. There's a little corner store a 10 minute walk away that has all the groceries/snacks you'll need in addition to an amazing Mexican bakery. Next door to the store is a taqueria with delicious Mexican food. There's a Starbucks and several other places to eat (including pizza, falafel, sushi, and a taqueria) a three-minute drive down the road.
Getting around
Easy access to highways 101 and 84, free driveway parking. The SamTrans 281 bus stops about a block from the house. Stanford runs a free shuttle (the Marguerite) and there is a stop on the Bohannon Line about a 10-15 minute walk from the house. Most people find that a rental car or Uber are the best ways to get around.
Other Things to Note
I have a cat named Annabelle, who has really come out of her shell and enjoys being admired by AirBnB guests. She can still be shy though, so you may not see her (unless you travel with cans of tuna! ;-) Her life goal is to escape out the front door so you'll have to watch your feet when you come/go. Incidentally: she is not allowed in the guest bedroom and I vacuum frequently with a HEPA filter vacuum.
If you enjoy gardens or flowers, I'd be happy to give you a tour of my 3500 sq. ft. drought-tolerant flower and vegetable gardens :) If you like roses, you can enjoy the 51 rose bushes on the property. If you come in the summer you can enjoy some fresh garden produce!
Check out my guidebook (click on the orange guidebook icon in the top right hand corner of your screen) to see my local restaurant, shopping and sightseeing recommendations! :)
- Non-smokers only please
- Guest kitchen use is limited to beverage service
- Please plan to check in no later than 10 p.m.
- Quiet after 10 p.m. is appreciated
- No shoes in the house please
- Annabelle (the cat) is not allowed outside or in the AirBnB room
Sarah is a first-rate hostess: kind, generous, considerate, and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to make me feel at home, and even lent me her bike so I could cycle to my conference venue. Menlo Park is a beautiful and interesting place to stay.
Sarah is the perfect hostess: welcoming, willing and wanting to share her beautiful house and gardens with her guests. She is kind, thoughtful, and a mine of local information. Sarah even lent me her bike so that I could cycle the two miles to the Vallombrosa Conference Centre.
Simple, comfortable, clean, and very welcoming. My first airbnb experience, and I'm convinced - no more random Palo Alto / Mountain View hotels for me. Great location if your a business traveller (especially if office in Menlo Park).
Also there's a cat! If you like cats!
And if you don't - the delightful cat is kept far from the guest room - I had Zero cat fur on my suit jacket (and for pet owners you know how hard that can be!)
Sarah is an amazing person! She made us feel at home. Her place is very cozy, comfortable and clean. And her cat is super cool too! Highly recommended.
Sarah's house is on a quiet street in a residential area. It's a very safe neighborhood with a 10 minute walk to the local Starbucks!
Very convenient off street parking. Sarah was always accessible by text for any questions we had.
We stayed with this when we were in town to visit our baby grandson. She made the environment so quiet, clean and cheerful that we felt totally rested every morning to go visit with our son's new family!
The room is just as pictured, the bed was so comfortable even with my back problem,( flares up on unfamiliar beds). The bathroom is right next to the guest room and squeaky clean with great water pressure in the shower.
Will stay here again when we return next year!
Fantastic room and host. A great introduction to air bnb, will recommend!
I really enjoyed staying at Sarah's house! She is a great host and makes you feel really comfortable and at home. She even recommended a few places to go around town. The room was also clean and comfortable too. I will be coming back again soon.
I was born and raised in Palo Alto, CA but have called many places home over the years, including Washington state, London, Indianapolis, Chicago, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Washington D.C. I'm so happy to be home again in the Bay Area. I think this is one of the greatest places in the world!
I love gardening and plants, and enjoy spending time in my yard working on garden science projects. I recently removed 3500 square feet of lawn and planted drought tolerant flowers and a huge organic vegetable garden. I also love walking/riding my bike by the Baylands, baking delicious things, and all kinds of puzzles.
I decided to list a space in my home on AirBnB because I have met so many wonderful people during my travels. The Bay Area is a marvelous part of the world and I love hosting people who come to visit it!

The 2014 Dean's List: 50 Must-Read Higher Education Technology Blogs
Meet some of the best and brightest voices in education technology.
University officials taking a multipronged approach to cloud computing recommend the following lessons learned to other colleges considering a similar path.
"The trouble with the cloud is you only have a limited view behind the curtain, so to speak, of what they're going to be doing once the contract is under way," says Gabriel Youtsey, IT project manager at UC Davis. "So your relationship will be built solely on trust and on the contract terms that you work out ahead of time."
Another important issue is an exit strategy. "Traditionally, the IT shop would build the security and the service levels; now, they're buying security and service levels," Grieggs explains. "The attorneys don't know anything about, for instance, getting data normalized so you can recover it after the service ends. So IT needs to be right in the middle of all of that."

Benjamin Moore Subtle, Jicama, Palace White?
Hi everyone, I need help picking a color for my main living area. I currently have Tobacco Road in there and it's a beautiful color, but I get very little natural light and it's feeling dark and heavy to me. I'm hoping a lighter color will help. I want to find a color that's creamy, warm and happy but doesn't scream YELLOW.
This is a large area, with 12-foot ceilings, so there's going to be a lot of whatever color I choose. I've painted the 3 colors I've listed above onto poster boards. Subtle and PW seem almost too light, but in such a big room I'm wondering if the color will intensify. Jicama is beautiful but I fear will be too much yellow on the walls.
Does anyone have these colors who could share photos with me? Or maybe a color in a similar vein? I've looked at SW Ivoire and Blonde and they're too yellow for me. But I want SOME definition, I want the color to pop out from white trim.
Thanks for any help!
Here's Palace White - with artificial light first and natural light second
Our trim is all Benjamin Moore semi gloss base white - no colorant added. Your trim would have to have a LOT of color to not stand out against Palace White - it's probably an optical illusion and because you are only looking at small pieces of trim against your paint samples.
I was at a home remodel showcase this weekend and there was a beautiful color called applesauce that was a Hirschfield's color. It was so soft and not at all super yellow. I'm sorry I don't have a picture. I'm going to try it in my own house soon.
I considered Jicama for a room I was doing but went with something totally different. Let me warn you that the colors from BM Affinity collection ,which subtle and jicama are part of really intensify on the wall. I have several of the affinity colors in my house.
I painted my den Jicama last year and love it. It is a soft creamy yellow but not a loud, bright yellow. I work full-time and don't have much time to take pictures of my house, but when I was considering the color I googled a picture of BM Jicama that is on the "Rejuvenation Projects Blog" and it looks in that room (with white columns) similar to how it looks in my room.
We used Benjamin Moore Windswept in our living room and really like it there.(looks slightly different in this pic) However, did not care for it when trying it in a bedroom that has a different exposure...lighting makes such a difference.
Here's a pic of Windswept:
I also tried Jicama in a bedroom, but did come out stronger than I expected so did not use.Pottery Barn uses it in 1 of our local stores and it looks beautiful there! (which is why I'd sampled it)
I'm liking the Palace White too and have heard good things about this color.
Good luck!
I have Filtered Sunlight in my foyer and have never liked it. It's on my list to paint, but hoping I can convince DH to put up chair rail and picture frame molding first. It is yellow. A pale yellow, but still yellow. If you don't want yellow, I would not use Filtered Sunlight.
I have BM Bone White in my downstairs room with BM Semi-Gloss White trim and there is a nice contrast and I love the warm peaceful color that is very close to BM Palace White that I almost chose and may choose when I repaint my Master Bedroom since I love the way it looks in every picture I have seen so far. BM Palace White had a touch more gold or yellow in my paint sample and was a touch darker than BM Bone White but they both are not white.
hi Lisa, I love your room and the pic of windswept. we have a mostly southern exposure. maybe with a bit of western too.
which exposure is the room you pictured above? also, what is the undertone in the windswept in the room you have pictured? is it cream? yellow? peach? thanks!
Palace White reads yellow up in my daughter's bedroom. I can see both her and her sister's room (Standish White) from the upstairs hall and both look yellow-Standish more so than Palace. Since your room is large with high ceilings it might not come off as yellow, but to be safe, I'd choose a different color. BM Bone comes to mind. Also, check out BM Blanced almond.
I agree with Boniieann925 that BM Bone White is a very close match to BM Palace White but the Bone White is more neutral and slightly lighter with less gold/yellow. Both are nice and creamy and go great with BM Semi-gloss white trim. I will look for pictures to post when I get some sleep. The Palace White may also me nice since I love every picture it is in. I would paint two foam boards both of these colors and any other color you think you would like and move them around the room and then put then against white trim.
Take a look at an old Benjamin Moore color called "Featherbed"-the code for it is CC-928.
I think of it as the perfect non-yellow yellow. It's creamy and bright and looks good against most varieties of
white trim but it doesn't really look yellow. I have had it in 3 houses. It gets lost in the shuffle because it reads pretty "eh" on the chip but most people who paint a room yellow end up wishing the color was way less intense and Featherbed is what they wished the color looked like.
I just found a post from 2008 where the cabinets are BM Featherbed. The color looks very much like BM Bone White which is what I wish I painted that bathroom but even if i did I would have to repaint it since the painter put the 2nd coat on the wall before the first coat was dry and it looks terrible and he has drips down the wall. I have lived like this now for a few years and I have had enough.
Here is a link that might be useful: BM Featherbed cabinets that are so nice! See contrast with white.
have Plantation Beige by Duron but SW bought Duron and have all of their formulas so you can still get it. It's gorgeous. Porter's Sea Sand is similar but I think that Plantation Beige has a little something extra. Reads Yellow but only in a suggested way, not in your face yellow. Will try to get some photos for you but I'm so photo upload challenged!!!

Dictionary » D » DNA virus
DNA virus
A virus containing DNA as its genetic material and using a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase during replication.
The DNA of these viruses may either be double stranded (dsDNA) or single stranded (ssDNA). DNA viruses belong to either Class I (dsDNA viruses) or Class II (ssDNA viruses) of the Baltimore classification system for viruses.
Most of these viruses must enter the host nucleus before they can replicate because they need the host cell's DNA polymerases when replicating their viral genome.

identifying an indoor lemon.....
Can you help with this family quest? My grandfather came to America from the Bay of Naples, town called Sarno in the hills above Salerno. According to his oldest daughter, my Aunt Rose, he brought a lemon seedling with him. By the time I was asking about it, in the early 1950's, the plant was a sturdy tree, in a huge pot in his bedroom. It was on a table that was window sill height, and the tree filled the whole window. Several times I remember it had lemons - pointed on the ends, and blocky ovals, but twice the size of supermarket lemons. The skin was a yellowish green. They were very fragrant, and juicy.
After my grandfather died in '62, Aunt Rose kept the tree going. After her death in '84, a clueless and insensitive relative by marriage tossed it.
I don't know if the lemon tree I remember in the pot was the one he brought with him (can they last that long?), or one that he grew from a cutting of the original. He and his buddies were always trading and sharing plants.
Does anyone know what lemon that might have been?
Or - does anyone have any suggestions about a lemon I could grow indoors in zone 5, giving it a summer break on the deck?
not sure when he started it but there is no doubt that with good care a lemon can live a long time. Obviously at least the 34 years you knew about it. a member here has a seedling orange that is 38 years old!
as for the type someone may have a clue but I dont. With a proper place to overwinter them you can grow any citrus you want. Just ask Meyer Mike. He grows all types in zone 5 Massachusetts, pretty sure its Massachusetts. Please dont scold me if Im wrong Mike, LOL.
There are a whole bunch of lemons called "Mediterranean lemons" or "Italian Lemons". I am not familiar with these, but you might want to google those phrases. FourWinds, a very reputed grower offers some of them. I have seen some locally called "Santa Teresa Lemon" trees.
Here is a link that might be useful: Four Winds Italian Lemons
BTW/ I found the description of the Santa Teresa lemon too... Now you can google all of those lemon names and see which one looks like the fruit from your grandfather's tree. Link follows ...

No amount of tut tutting and hand wringing by western media and govts will change the fact the Mugabe and Zanu(PF) will "win" the next election in Zimbabwe.
Ever since the losing the last election and entering what is a sham govt of national unity with the MDC, Mugabe and his closest elite have been hard at work ensuring that they will win the next election.
Using a reign of terror, the CIO, army, police and 'war veterans' (actually just a murderous Zanu(PF) party militia) have sealed off most of rural Zimbabwe (cutting mail and telephone links) and systematically hunted down the rural leadership of the MDC and anyone who expresses any complaint or opposition to Mugabe, these brave souls have simply disappeared.
Very few Western outsiders make it in through the road blocks on all roads leading out of Harare, Mugabe having long gotten rid of foreign NGO's and journalists. Western diplomats are routinely turned back at roadblocks outside of Harare and harrassed with impunity as the West has no further leverage given that Mugabe has support from SADC and in particular China, whose diplomats and technocrats are found all over Zimbabwe.
The Chinese care not a wit that Zimbabwe under Mugabe is a terror state, and would they given the fact that China at heart, is run in a similar way by a ruthless elite.
As to the urban areas of Zimbabwe, these have been the heartland of MDC support since the people here are generally better informed and harder to fool or intimidate. However Mugabe has succeeded in depopulating the urban areas. The primary logic behind the 'slum clearance' program when Mugabe sent in bulldozers, and the banning of informal roadside commerce has been to forcibly move urban poor to camps far outside the towns and cities where through neglect and direct terror they are literally dying.
You can be sure that when Mugabe calls an election in 2010 he will only allow in SADC observers who will be carefully vetted by their respective countries. He will 'win' and the SADC and AU will sign off that Zimbabwe has had a "fair and free election" and the Western world will moan but accept it.
In spite of his obvious shortcoming in economic management, the Africans by and large still adore Robbie for his stands against the former Colonialists. His people sufferings are in large parts caused by Western desires to punish him.
It is true that Robert is a cunning politician but also an extremely dangerous one who would do anything to cling to power, including mortgaging the future of Zimbabwe. He is also an able tactician who has managed to win the confidence of the uneducated people in the villages and the veterans by either giving them land or feeding them well at the expence of the rest of the population. We can only pray that at last the people of Zimbabwe, particularly the supporters of Robert do realise the harm that his only ambition to remain at the helm of power has done to such a beautiful country with a huge potential. In fact , the countrys economy has proved to be more resilient than anyone could immagine inspite of the hyperinflation. Otherwise Robert would have difficulty to feed his supporters and thus to remain in power. Now with the economy faring better,there is the risk that the Guy will continue to play his dirty trick and stay in poweer till death deprive him of that. Hope the latter comes first.
While Zimbabwe is one of the worst examples of an African country, it is by no means an exception. Even the better-run African countries are mismanaged, corruption-ridden & quasi-dictatorial. And pan-African organizations (such as the OAU) exhibit the same attributes.
I fear it will take many more decades before the typical African country demonstrates efficient government and proper use of its human and natural resources
Regardless what you may think of him, the Robby guy is at his best abroad to needle the shortcomings of the backers of the opposition to his much hated regime.
There has been this nasty debate about Mugabe. With his age, we may as well say the attacks have been purely gerontophobic(attack on the aged). But here is a political dandy that wants to die in power! He is like a suicide bomber who has nothing to lose.
The dandy is determined to hold on and die in power.Any state willing to make him scamper liken Mobutu se Seko from the Harare statehouse should be welcome.
Personally, i feel no sin should be counted upon him who will rid Zimbabwe of the old megalomaniac. South Africa has failed disastrously because they might had nudged him on his plan. It it would been successful South Africans would have also implemented it.
Will be a tough problem to crack, the cancer spreads from Mugabe all the way through his many generals, police chiefs and assorted cronies, if the Zanu PF falls so do many people that have lined their own pockets of the years, they will be damned if they let that happen.
Robert Mugabe and his cronies need to be charged with crimes against humanity.

Gg on my first half plot, initially I went down most weekend mornings, when it wasn't raining, for a few hours because there was a lot to do to prepare it for planting.
I'm now only going to pick veg/fruit, water in new plants and keep the weeds down. I've been twice this week, in the evenings and will go again, Saturday morning, to pick veg, 4 hours in total this week.
I've found if the ground is well prepared at the start of the growing season and weeding kept on top of with regular weekly visits less time is spent on the plot.
I want to get my new plot ready sooner, know what I want to do this time and think I know what I'm doing so weather permitting will spend Sat/Sun morning there, about 6 hours.
I divide jobs up and have several projects on the go - there are too hard to do jobs, which I'll do when I get 'a round toit', like taking down an old shed...hard work jobs, like digging over...not so hard work jobs, like weeding and planting...easier laid back jobs, like sitting back looking at what you've done and planning were beds are going, what you are going to grow, what the plot will look like when the tasks in hand are finished and talking to other allotmenteers.
Would love to see pictures of your planting in the redesigned oriental garden...
Pansyface quite by accident I managed to pressed the ignore button on myself, it was ever so strange to come on line and find all my posts had suddenly disappeared, othere posters could read them but I couldn't. Couldn't think what I'd done to offend someone to have all my posts pulled until someone worked out I was ignoring myself
Glad you've worked out what happened to you...
Visited Gresgarth Garden on Sunday, it's the home of Arabella Lennox-Boyld. Stunning gardens but it's only open the 2nd Sunday of each month.
The family were at home on Sunday and Arabella was out in the garden. Very informal, you do feel like you are walking round a lived in garden but on a grand scale. There's a tributary of the River Lune running through the gardens, which you can hear but not always see, most plants are named and the kitchen garden was exceptional with fruit tree's trained to just a couple of ft off the ground. Pear tree's were trained into goblet shapes and it looked an organic veg area with companion planting.
There's also a large woodland area which you can walk round, the site is 12 acres.
Well worth a visit if anyone is in the area.
I've managed to down load some pics onto the computer of the plot but can't transfer them onto the thread. I've tried pressing the green tree but it's just loading a red cross onto the screen
ginagibbs - sounds like you've made a good start.
Growing on a slope can present some challenges, I was told it was easier starting at the bottom and dig over with the undug part of the slope behind you, you then naturally put weight on the spade as you dig over, just a simple tip but it saves pressure on your back.
and...if you want gooseberry bushes Aldi are currrently selling red and white bushes at £1.79.
Currant bush cuttings also take very easy, I took some in 2013, dipped them in rooting powder and put them into a nursery bed at home, they did look dead at the beginning of the year but are now ready to be transplanted.
Gg - I've a 6 by 8 GH, grow fruit bushes in a space 1 by 12 - gooseberries, red, white and black currants, then three raised beds for veg growing.
I always find room for strawberries There's also a herb garden and rubarb growing near the hedge. The rest is lawn and flower beds with a patio area. I also grow blueberries in pots and grew spuds and salad veg in pots.
A friend took some before and after pics and had them developed before deleting them off her phone. . So can't post any, will take some on my camera and try to up load them. Plot number one was at it's best though in July and alot of stuff has been picked.
hh..my garden's in a built up area of sorts and you wouldn't expect to hear grasshoppers but it's sad we don't hear them when out in the countryside and I've not heard any on the allotment even though there are wildlife area's...
just seen the black bug......well...Nutculet there's a challenge...whats' that...
hollie hock...I've not heard a grass hopper for years in this country, as a child we would catch then in the fields... go to the South of France and if you need to use the services off the A roads...the noise they make is unbelievable in the summer...

Throwdown 201
Junior Member
I spent a-lot of money and time into this game, just to go no where! This new ranked system is a damn joke! At least with the other one I could carry the team to a win. Not anymore It feels like I'm playing with people who just started playing the game or people from the 900 elo. Out of maybe like 23 ranked games since the new ranked came out I think I won maybe 7. BOTH my 2v3 games to move up had a rage quit, is riot gonna fix that most likely not. I would just make a 5s team but impossible to find 5 people who can play at the same times.
I know you tried to fix it, but you made it so much worse.

Well talk about bringin it to finale!!! That was THE best HIMYM (or for that matter any other TV series I watched)finaly IMHO. I was laughin out loud through out the episode (and didn't even stop to answer the gf call ;) ).
I especially liked how Ted brings out the humor almost surpassing Neil Patrick Harris (but he stayed on top with his magic trick)
Loved the Ted's E-Mail that was some funny stuff.
Robin as we all know will be with my man Barnicle but it would be super fun to see that happen.
All in all this finale had it all, jokes,heart,truth searching. One of the best ways to end a season which has been dissapointing and make us hang on to HIMYM atleast for another season.
Just a standard episode. Nothing Special but still enjoyed it :)
One of the best of TBBT. Back to Back great episodes. The show's writers are geniouses. I don't know how they come up with jokes like C-Men. It was hilarious. Unlike the reviewer I loved the Sheldon drunken speech. It was a great ending.
I disagree sheldor. This was one of my favourite episodes this season. It had Sheldon and Penny ineractions, Raj's funny jokes and Stan Lee!!! What more do you want! rate this as a 5.
Wow poor Raj.... He is the sweetest but yet pegged as the acquaintance despite more willing receipients.
Sorry for the late comments folks. I recently finshed watchin' GOT s01 and only watched 2 episodes of s02. Gotta tell you I'm lovin' it :D Tyrion brings life to his character so easily. He surely deserves those awards for best supporting actor. Will comment more when I see the rest :)
Love Kripky....he is unique due to his speech impediment which makes him even more hilarious. Bored at Howards lone scenes... Rate this ep as a 4. Solid one.
One of the best episodes of TBBT. Loved Sheldon with a beard LOL all the way
Too bad this was cancelled. Loved the Devil and Sam's interactions. Any news in restarting this series??
Episode was mainly a bore until the final scene of Lily goin'in for labor. Guess watching the show with very few hints about the mother is not entertaining. Specially the Ted-Robin bore fest..Enough already.
Barney is the most consistent characterof the lot for me and hope his stripper gf gets the boot coz she adds no value to the story.
Need HIMYM to step up a bit..lately its not been up to its usual standards for me.

Massachusetts state police are reporting more than 200 suspected heroin overdose deaths during the first three months of this year, a figure that doesn't even include the state's three largest cities.
According to the statistics provided by the state police, there were 72 suspected heroin overdose deaths in March. The totals for the first two months of the year were similar: 72 deaths in February and 73 in January.
Among the March deaths, 54 were men and 18 women. The average age of those who died was 36.
The 217 fatalities were recorded in every region of Massachusetts, but state police noted they don't keep the records of suspected heroin deaths in Boston, Worcester and Springfield, so the statewide total was almost certainly higher.

By Billy CorriherAfter the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Georgia's bid to delay the deadline for redrawing its political maps last week, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives did not meet the federal court's original deadline of Monday. Rep. Gail Buckner, D-Jonesboro, said the House was close to passing a new plan, and could still work with the federal court to pass new maps. "There's a few different scenarios that could take place, in terms of the timetable," she said. The court could order special master Joe Hatchett, a former 11th Circuit Court of Appeals judge, to begin drawing maps as early as today or it could issue a short-term break if they are convinced the legislature will act soon. But the court would not make any maps drawn by Hatchett official until late March, which House leaders say buys them some time. Rep. Ron Dodson, D-Lake City, said the Redistricting Committee, which he is a member of, will continue to work on drawing maps this week, but he's not sure the maps will pass both chambers and be approved by Gov. Sonny Perdue. "Truthfully, I think it'll end up being drawn by the courts," he said. Perdue, a Republican, has expressed displeasure with the Democratic House's current map because it includes several multi-member districts, and Perdue could veto any plan that includes them. "The governor has said that he can't imagine a circumstance where he would support a map with multi-member districts," said Perdue spokesman Dan McLagan. "The reality is that multi-member districts exist solely to disenfranchise voters and to try to rig the system."

Cholmondeley Pageant of Power in pictures
The Cholmondeley Pageant of Power (CPoP) turned on its annual kaleidoscope of horsepower, adrenalin and engineering intrigue this week.
