Imma gonna have to disagree with you on that, Office 365 blows Google Apps out of the water.

I don't recall expressing an opinion on which was better, Office 365 or Google Apps.

Yeah, but in MY professional world Google mail is blocked. 

fixed that for you.

i've never come across an enviro where GMail was blocked... and i spent almost 10 years as an IT consultant, working with dozens of clients on their networks.  i'm now in-house IT and i work with a lot of vendors.  i have yet to come across a single one that told me they couldn't do a Google Hangout because GApps are blocked.

the way you assert your opinions and/or limited experience as fact is amusing... cute, almost.

My stats indicate a lot of lurkers, very few contributors.  A prospect I'm fine with when it's a sausagefest.

The only other one I know of is UBS.  Unless Atomicfront is a banker, which would be ironic.

where are they now: winnie cooper

Nice find on Becky Slater.  She turned out alright, but she's no Winnie.  Somehow, I did not know they were sisters...

One of my favorite things about Twitter has been following Danica McKellar.  She's super smart and talks about girls and STEM.  It's fantastic.  She also posts just the right amount of photos...sad she's divorced.  Oh, wait...

I was not fooled one bit by the 8 game winning streak.  We're an awful "team"...

3-7 on the year against them.

Now you've piqued my interest. Who are you talking about?

Richard Ramirez, commonly referred to as "The Night Stalker" died of natural causes today.  He is in that photo posted by Walkie.  He was my first experience of serial killer, and all of Southern California in a tizzy the Summer of 1985.  He would paint pentagram's in the rooms of his victims, whom he strangled, shot or stabbed.  It was INSANE.  Parents in my hood had special meetings and would communicate the whereabouts of their children at all times.  We had to be in sundown. If you didn't have AC, you would stay at a friends house on the hottest nights because you didn't want to leave your doors open.  On the plus side, you got to know your neighbors pretty well.

LA Times article on his unceremonious death:

It's too early, but he's legit. He tore up Spring Training, but I wasn't surprised the Dodgers sent him down. He, like Kemp, has a ton of natural ability, but lacks an understanding of the game and makes simple mistakes, both on the base paths and in the field.

The huge thing about Puig is he's a free swinger - didn't walk a single time this spring.  As soon as pitchers stop throwing him strikes, which they will do now that he's shown his power, it will be interesting to see how adjusts.

He's got all the tools, but needs to work on his game smarts. He's too flashy for me to root for, but he's fun to watch.

he does seem to have that manny ramirez-like style, with the bat flip and all.
