Thanks a bunch Lynn. You are truly a gentleman and scholar. The best Moderator on AF. Great idea for the GP forum and thanks for setting it up.

No problem Bob! I hope everyone has a good time. At least now there is someplace where other subjects besides Grand Prix's can be discussed!

Gee Thanx.
This is starting to feel home :D

How about those Texas Longhorns taking out USC 41-38 at the Rose Bowl?

Go Longhorns and job well done! :ylsuper:


The eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the live-long day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them,
At night or early in the morn.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
Till Gabriel blows his horn.


Oh, forgot congratulations to Penn State over Florida State at the Orange Bowl....26-23. :bigthumb:

Gee Thanx.
This is starting to feel home :D

Well kids like me never grow up.
If you happen to be keeping your ears warm.
1. Blow
2. Shake head
3. Make noise like motor boat.
I've never met a woman that didn't like to play to.

Wylie, I tried that with my old lady and she didn't think it was funny. Oh well. :dunno:

It works best if shes bin drinking as well.
I've been hearing allot abut Texas lately, I'll be in San Antonio in March.

Heres a little story I read yesterday.

For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They
actually have a chili cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It

takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio city park.

Interesting info on the Chili. San Antonio in March. Cool. I was there this past October. Son #2 graduated from Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. Stayed a few days.

I took him to dinner at the Riverwalk downtown and we stuffed ourselves. Great steak and Mexican food. Good food there. Plus you can get the real good salsa, etc. not like that Paces junk. Of course, I can get the same here in El Paso.

Lots of sights like Riverwalk, Fiesta Texas, Sea World and the Alamo, etc.

Have fun and welcome to Texas partner!

My hotel is on the River walk,I've been to the Alamo before how far is Sea World?
I'll probably play a little golf as well.
.
I just looked at the map,your a long haul from there.

I think Texas putting USC in their place was great. The Heisman voting should wait until after the Bowl games, as Great players do Great things in BIG games. If they did wait, Vince young would be the Heisman winner in my book. Nothing against Reggie Bush, but Vince Young schooled him on how to step up to an even higher level in a BIG game. On the salsa subject, I have a friend whose mom is from the Texas/Mexico border, and her salsa is the most awesome I've ever tasted. She says I'm the only "gringo" she knows that can eat her HOT salsa without crying like a baby. You don't stir this stuff with plastic utinsels, or you'll pull out a melted stub. Oh, and thank you Lynn, you rock for opening this thread for us. Rich

I always try to keep you folks happy Rich! By the way how about the Mountaineers beating Georgia! It's about time they won a bowl game, it has been a long time. I was also please dto see that Texas beat USC of course I really don't like any of the teams from the left coast. And Penn State also won their game. I live 45 miles from State College but I am not a Penn State fan. Oh well I guess it had to happen anyway they did have a decent team this year.

Being from Michigan, I was voting for all the Big Ten teams. The only one I had a problem rooting for was Ohio State, but since my ex-wife likes Notre Dame, it was easy. :evillol:

Good location. You will be central to most of San Antonio, especially to downtown and the Alamo. From where you are coming from you will probably feel very comfy in shorts. Winter in Texas is probably like your summer in Canada. Golf is great in SA and they have excellent golf courses. San Antonio is easy to get around but big. The 410 loop will take you in a circle around the whole city. Traffic can get pretty bad around rush hour and morning commute. It is laid out North to South and East to West, etc. SA Airport is in Northeast. Sea World is in west SA. Alamo Dome is Southeast. Lackland AFB Southwest. Fort Sam Houston Northeast.

To get to Sea World it will be around 15 miles one way from downtown. Just follow the green directions signs while on 410.

Yeah, as far as El Paso it is 585 miles one way. I make the trip in my Regal GS in under 7 hours with pit stops. Flight time on Southwest Airlines is under 1 hour 30 minutes.

It will probably be a very memorable experience for you.

Thanx, I was there a couple of years ago saw most the stuff,drank lots of margeretas I didn't know there was a Sea World I thought I might check that out.

Maybe one of these days you can get to El Paso. The difference between El Paso and San Antonio is we have the real thing South of us......Mexico, actually right across the border. We get a lot of Canadian snowbirders from here all the way to Arizona and California. Can't miss that Maple Leaf decal.

Plus we have one of the largest, either number one or two, Harley dealerships in the US run by Sherman Barnett (Barnett Harley Davidson).

I've been to Arizona,man it was hot I think my shoes were melting.
I'd to take the bike on a tour down around your area.
I watch a little bit of Last Man Standing on the weekend,there was a guy from Texas I thought it might be you.

Last Man Standing....good flick. That was the one with Bruce Willis as John Smith. Which guy the Sheriff? :lol2:

Riding weather is really good around here unless the dust is blowing. I wouldn't mind riding with you as long as you don't mind having a Japanese sport bike on your side (Suzuki GXR-1000). My son won't need it for a while since he is being shipped off to Korea for a year.

Any Harley guy that has a problem riding next to a Jap bike better inspect his bike closely. Other than the frame and engine, most everything on a Harley is made overseas (ignition, rims, starter, alternator, seat, etc etc etc..... all Japanese), they're just assembled in the USA.

No it was this http://dirtrider.com/features/141_0511_ww_lms/
it was a replay from July now that I look at it was in Texas and a Texan won.
You should get in on the one this year.

Oh that one...the hill climbing. I thought you were talking about the movie. lol.

Thats some rough riding. Normally you need a 4 stroke thumper. The one I keep track of other than the national moto and supercross races is the Tecate Baja 1000. That would be a great race to see. Two Honda XR650 dirt bikes took first and second this past November beating out all the 4 wheelers. A lot of street bikers attend the race. Good food, beer and women.

OK you've talked me into it.

Haven't heard a word from her. Well she did call to ask how to get the trans unlock, when she forced it out of park. Told her I was never that dumb to do that.

I did tell her the right way. She ended up going to a tran place and paying $500.00. That's why I don't hear from her. She never even try to get it out. Dumb

Yeah that's typical. I guess she couldn't find the big button...lol. :lol:

Sounds like she got a great deal on the GTX anyways. It makes you wonder how much females get ripped off on auto repairs. But it is the other way around when you want something from them and then you wind up getting ripped off. :evillol:

i see you guys have been talking about Texas in this topic, I was in Dallas on New Years(flew out for the Cotton Bowl, Roll Tide!!!) and it was great...

Me and my brother went and had a blast...

Texas is one of those places I like to visit but wouldn't want to live there...

Happy Friday guys.
Just a reminder to everybody to keep you security programs up to date.
I spent the hole day yesterday trying to clean one of these rootkit worms from one of our PCs.
its was called Spyware.Apropos.C now I've found it on two other machines.
I've never had so much trouble with any kind of bug before.
The scary part is it puts an installer program deep in the system driver directories so when you think your cleaning the bug from your system it actually leaves the installer
so when you reboot it installs its self all over again.
I was able to remove it but not with out damaging some system files so now I have to boot the thing three or four times before Windose fires up.
So be care full out there in cyber land.

Yeah it is a real bummer Wylie. It is a shame when you have to run two antivirus programs and at least two anti-spyware and keep them up to date to detect the buggers. But all it takes is one to get through.

For Windows XP and 2000 systems that "system restore" function really comes in handy. You can go back in time to a date before the virus/worm/trojan horse kicked off. It works most of the time but not always.

This has bin a hell week for me I think I need a holiday.
sys restore didn't work in this case.
And our mail server is very secure, the research did yesterday and still doing today it looks like this thing comes from just hitting an infected web site.
its probably these guys a work looking at naked people.
The minds that write this stuff I'll never understand.
Smart enough to write a bug like this but not smart enough not to do it.

Yeah, we have a new employment policy. Anyone cruising the Net that gets a virus after visiting a porn site, etc. gets terminated from employment. But it most often does not happen because the idiots are managers or one of the VPs. lol.

For each department and division we have image CDs so it is easier and faster just to re-image the workstation and blast the old OS away. Just takes the Tech 30 minutes.

But keeping the systems safe is all part of IT duties and definitely job security. If I quit the whole enterprise would probably go down. It is nice to have some leverage when it is time for a pay raise.

I was told if I leave they'll have to kill me.
Not sure if they where joking or not.
Our file and mail servers are running Linux so that helps me sleep at night.
I'm going to try a system restore from disk see if that will restore the damaged system files.
If you have a link to and docs about creating an image CD I'd like to see them that would have saved my butt.
The infected PC controls the heating and security gates in one of our buildings it would be a real Fn pain if I have to wipe it out.

Try Norton Ghost v10. It supports FAT16, FAT16X, FAT32, FAT32X, NTFS, dynamic disks, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, and Linux swap partitions. Thats what we use.

After you get the PC back on the air and fully configured just run Ghost or similar. If it is on the network you can store the image on one of the file servers. Once that is done a maintenance image CD can be made from a workstation that has a CD Burner. Comes in handy because the Tech will have a CD to work with and the Systems Administrator will have the image for future reference. When the PCs on the manufacturing floor go down causing a loss of production we don't have much time to get them operational so it has come in real handy and looks like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Good luck!

Thanx bnaylor3400 : I found a fix tool for Apropos rootkits it worked like a charm.
Fixed the damaged registry as well.if you ever need it I've got it it wasn't one from symantec ether.
I've looked at ghost years ago I'll have to take another look.
Funny what you said about management,your right.
Good thing I use a Mac at home because if I had to go through this and not get paid I think I'd throw it in the trash.

lol. :lol2: Sounds more like laidoff engineers from Raytheon went to work for GM when the defense industry took a hit after the Cold War.

Also can't expect much when the parts are made in Mexico at Delphi.

GM still hasn't put 2 and 2 together and figured out that their market share and quality control go down every time they lay off American workers and send those jobs to China and Mexico. Those workers can't afford a $50,000 SUV or $40,000 car at the $5 a day wage they earn. Anyone see much of a price decrease reflecting the cheaper labor? I thought not, but the executives bouses sure look nice. I live in Flint, MI where about 3,000 more jobs are about to be lost because of this Delphi mess. I almost choked when Miller asked the bankruptcy courts to free $90,000,000 so he could pay his execs (the people whose stupid decisions put them in bankruptcy in the first place) their bonuses while asking hourly workers to take a 66% pay cut and pay their own benefits to save money.

We need to start holding the CEOs and executives of public corporations responsible for their actions. That includes criminal charges if necessary after a full audit and investigation. Plus open their butts up for civil litigation. The precedent has been set with the Enron debacle and others.

I guess the new layout grows on you. But the color scheme leaves a lot to be desired. Too bad they don't offer skins or options to change the color. There are still some minor glitches like the smilies and the stars under the screen name but hopefully they will have it worked out soon.

I liked the old layout better, not as busy. The new lighter colors are NOT good, too bright. I think I may want some sunblock and shades, sheesh!!!

Plus the smilies and stars are working now. :bigthumb:

Great now we can back to business.
Seen any good movies lately?

Great now we can back to business.

Not that I am plugging it but checkout "Glory Road". It's about how a small jerkwater college known as Texas Western College (TWC) now University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) pulled off the 1966 NCAA Basketball Championship title under the "Bear" Coach Don Haskins. The complete starting lineup was African-American. They even have Mariachis playing in the movie which was a bunch of BS back then. It never happened. Hollywood had to spruce it up or otherwise it would be boring as hell.

BTW - Even in El Paso up to the early 60s anyone other than White had to go to the back of the bus. My mother is Korean and a local bus driver would not move until she went to the back of the bus. My father got very upset and came very close to beating the living daylights out of the bus driver. He settled it by pointing to his combat ribbons from the Korean War on his Army uniform which he was wearing at the time and mentioned something about whether he wanted to live or die. The bus driver got the message and let her sit up front with my father.

My mother's hero is Reverend Martin Luther King.

Just imagine how backwards it be if we never had people like MLK or Rosa Parks.
But speaking of the King you should see this one http://www.bubbahotep.com/
its an of the wall Horror comedy about Elvis I thought it was pretty funny.

I'm going to look at Glory Road.

I'll check it out Wylie.

BTW - Have you guys noticed on the new layout you can rate posts. I rated the Off-Topic thread 5 stars. Just for everyone's info.

Cool I just gave it 5.
I've noticed a huge speed improvement I wonder if they put us on a new server or something.
also I logged onto the home page from the studio the other night, I was working with someone that had some car trouble and this full production quicktime car add popped up it was pretty impressive so maybe there making money.

If Glory Road is anything like Coach Carter, it will be a movie worth seeing. I hope it sticks to the facts and doesn't get too racial. Coach Carter did a good job of portraying it's characters as underpriveleged and flawed because of it, not oppressed for no fault of their own. I like a good movie, but I hate being subtly preached to.

I like a good movie, but I hate being subtly preached to.

Actually it depicts racism in America circa 1966 and the hard road or uphill battle the team under Coach Haskins underwent so it is classified as an anti-racism movie. It was timed to be released right before Martin Luther King Day. Some of the Southern coaches in the opposing teams are depicted as racists. Supposedly what Haskins did by having an all black starting lineup is change basketball sports history and set the stage for the NCAA and NBA as we know it today. If you want my opinion they stereotyped El Paso and Texas Western College. Ben Affleck was supposed to play Haskins but bailed out and Josh Lucas took over. Film was produced by Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer directed it. Nonetheless it is a movie a lot of people can relate to especially growing up during that timeframe.

In real life the black players hated Coach Haskins but the movie massages that a little. And the Mariachi scene greeting the players at the college was a bunch of BS. It never happened. It was number one in box office sales last time I checked but IMO it is worth watching.

Synopsis:

This movie is without a doubt one of the best basketball movies ever made. Period. But, how many basketball films are there? Glory Road can best be compared to Remember the Titans, as the story is similar, and even the plot structures parallel. Like Remember the Titans, the key issue of the film is racism, and the film had every person on their feet by the end when I saw it. Bruckheimer, a decent director, does a good job of painting the opponents as racists and the Texas Western team as the shining light in the darkness. And, he does a very convincing job. However, the inclusion of a black player on KU's starting line-up is glossed over, and Kentucky's coach, Adolph Rupp, is portrayed as merely a prejudiced old man, disregarding his place as the 2nd all-time winningest coach in the NCAA. Bruckheimer's greatest strength in this film comes from the performance of Josh Lucas, who does an excellent job of portraying Coach Haskins. The in-game sequences are good, but definitely could have been greater. There are definitely some great shots, and the editing is also quite well done. This film also has an excellent message for viewers, and is one of the best anti-racism movies I've seen. The fear felt by team mates is easily transferable across the screen to the audiences. This film is also extremely uplifting. For basketball players and other athletes, it's easily to relate to the members of the Texas Western team. This is definitely a film anyone should go out and see some weekend, or rent for an open night.

I agree the racism in the south was horrible. Many people are ignorant and can't look past a person's skin color. The people that fought it were very brave, most people don't know how brave they actually were. Hollywood, of course, has to spruce it up, and make it historically inaccurate. That's where I have a problem. If they want to make a movie depicting exactly what these equal rights pioneers endured, then leave the sprucing to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Have you seen GLory Days Bob? It does look like a good movie.

Did you mean Glory Road? Yes I saw it. The whole town went crazy. The lines were long. Funny thing is they did not film any of it here in El Paso but the background scenes are correct.
