Thought it was workplace illegal. So it's just injury then. Just shake it off.

Haha, that's what Cyber Monday is for!
Still, it's great for people I know who have "insider connections" - just walk-in, walk-out, same heavily discounted deals without the waiting all night in line.
Like for example, a 47-inch Sony LCD with Google TV, normally around US$1000. Friend showed up at 7:30am and got in before the store opened, bypassed the line of people outside, picked the LCD at leisure, paid for it for $350 less the moment the store opened at 8am, then online from a vendor site, a coupon for $300 more. So a $1000 47-inch LCD, let alone Sony with Google TV, for only $450 with no hassle. Actually, the biggest hassle was getting that big thing in and out of the car. Game the system, folks.

Haha, those iPod/iPhone copies have different connections though. People who take them outside China then lose the cables, they find out they can't find those cables anywhere. Suffice to say they can't use those iPod/iPhone accessories neither.

Obama is laughing at Putin that a great nation like Russia couldn't even build its own missile shield that they have to meddle on someone else's.

TigersTokyoDome,
Poland and Ukraine are UEFA hosts, so similar to the World Cup, hosts are seeded on Pot #1, as favor to hosts. So everybody else gets bumped down 2 spots.
FIFA rankings are just snapshots anyways - meaning your rank at that current time.

Yeah, some friends got theirs for only $99 for the $499 tablet. (For that price, why not?) One already put Android in it - still buggy but works fine.

In baseball, more than most sports, one team can beat any team on a good day. That's why they play so many games (144-162) in order to separate the wheat from the chaff.

On any one day, Tiger can play well, and when he plays well, he plays really well, like this steamroller. Good for him that matchplay is just an one-day event. The challenge for him is to do it more days more consistently, and turn his bad days into 69s and 70s like he used to, not 73s and 74s.

So much for home-field advantage in this series. Home fans should be more intimidating to visiting players, while pushing its home team players to greatness!
