    As deeply concerning as this is, from one internet stranger to another; I do wish you the best in your search for a proper job.

    What a great find, been so busy that I didn’t catch this item. You’re so right, this song may foreshadow for the overall tone of the tournament. Sucks is an understatement. I personally have been playing Snoop Dogg My Medicine in a loop. Not that am into country music but not bad.

    Given how expensive things have gotten I hope they use older, socks with holes. Maybe a rebrand of the tradition.

    Very odd. Seems that bureaucracy was the main factor behind this decision however maintaining the Hitler surname seems to be more of a private decision. Visited Germany years back and I recall meeting an older German generation gentleman whose name was Adolf. In his case he would disguise it by using the name of Adi, though I found it odd, I understood. Very cool and incredibly genuine person I met back years ago.

    So with the Winter Olympics being over and then the whole deadly avalanche event that happen, I was watching local news and found an incredible news clip. Tahoe skier rescued after being buried alive under snow - Talk about being in a deadly situation and then having someone being really aware of their surroundings and helping out.

    I don't know about anyone else but I have given up watching Olympics in our OTA broadcast channel. It don't matter if they are local (meaning within our time zones) or in this case Milan. The broadcasting is just terrible. It's rarely ever live and by the time you get to watch it, it's already over, full of commentary and commercials! I am done! I am hoping to watch hockey (not just Team USA but also others), but most probable I won't be able to do that either so I figure I will get the results after it's done, as said before, access to the sport is necessary. Without that, interest from the younger generation won't be there and impact is felt afterwards.

    What may be weirder still is the Maryland Zoo’s take on how to tell an ex he or she stinks: a “Dollars for Dung” fundraiser that lets people name a pile of poop in honor of someone they’d like to tell to, well, eat it.
