If it's in your budget, absolutely do it. -
Pretty sure that was sarcasm...

...Plus, like most everything else in Japan...it's more efficient: it also has dual loading stations and an on-ride photo.

Now it is being reported that this massive TV deal that held the BIG-XII together was only "assurances from consultants." This isn't over.

I've never met Will, or even been to Holiday World for that matter. But I definitely made sure to donate to such a great cause in honor of such a great person! -
Yeah, sounds like Texas used the PAC-10 to get the deal they wanted with the BIG-XII.

The rest of the BIG-12 is staying in tact.

I never got to meet him, but I think this thread speaks volumes about what type of person he was. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I also want to second Wes' comment: Everyone should make a donation in his name to those charities he mentioned. -
I love it! No more "weak" PAC-10! And we are one step closer to the death of the BCS and the birth of a playoff system for college football.

I'm guessing the surrounding offices are pretty empty on weekends. -
Throwing a baseball is not something the body was designed to do. It's an unnatural motion to begin with, so it does have to be carefully managed. The problem is that by the time someone makes it to the majors, chances are it is already too late to be properly managed. By the time someone hits the big leagues, their body is at or near the end of its physical development. It's tough to build the proper leg/arm strength, muscle memory, and so on when someone has been coddled for his entire career. Here's a great article that was just in SI a few weeks ago: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1169750/index.htm

I seriously wonder if this is due to the always rumored launch of the iPhone on Verizon. New phone=new contract=new more expensive early termination fees.

^You can download customized keyboards too.

World Joyland in China

^Most likely so they will just hoist the entire structure up instead of putting together a bunch of smaller sections by crane. -
Maybe we should wait a little more, since it has only been soft opened for a few hours. They could eventually, as things move on, try to appeal to the people that's not really into the Harry Potter world. We've only seen an small portion so far, not even 100% operational. Robb was pretty clear in stating that he can only judge based on what we've seen so far. And while I personally appreciate the detail, I too don't understand anything about Harry Potter so I'm still left scratching my head a little bit. That is actually a big part of what makes the great rides/lands at theme parks what they are: the ability to tell the story just by being in line/going on the ride/being in the land. So far all I have seen is great detail with no explanation of the backstories.
