    Visiting NYC in late October - tips?

    It turns out I'll be alone on my birthday, so I decided to take a sojourn to NYC. I'm planning out my itinerary now, and I want to maximize my NYC experience. Coming as a kid that grew up in Texas, I've always put NYC on a pedestal. Any tips from locals? I did have a few questions: 1. I'm...

    Used Car Advice

    I totaled my car a couple days ago. For the last 10+ years (>115,000 miles), I had been driving the venerable Honda Accord. Since it was only worth about $5K, it wasn't going to take much to total it. Rest in peace, good friend. You served me well. Now I find myself as a 28 year old in the...

    Has breast cancer become a "celebrity" disease?

    Breast cancer is surely a serious problem that kills many people ever year (including men). I personally am friends with two girls that lost their mothers due to breast cancer. I don't want to undermine or demean the disease at all, having witnessed the effects personally. That being said, have...

    HELP! Identify this Painting and/or Artist

    This is a repeat thread from the General Chat forum. I'm not sure why it just hit me to post this here rather than General Chat since this would be the place for art. Any help is greatly appreciated! This is a painting in the tunnels of downtown Dallas that is right across from a subterranean...

    HELP! Identify this Painting and/or Artist

    This is a painting in the tunnels of downtown Dallas that is right across from a subterranean steakhouse called Dakota's (not particularly good). I walk by it all the time and have always admired it. Unfortunately, I can't make out the signature and have Googled several variations to no avail...

    Recommend: smartphone

    Any mobile philes on here? I'm one of the few people left that hasn't gotten a fancy phone with the data plan. My plan expires this week, and I've decided it's time to join the rest of the crowd. My biggest hangup is that the smartphones are huge. I don't even care about features; I just don't...

    Are police reports reliable?

    I don't want to drudge up the Henry Louis Gates' arrest in Cambridge a few months back, but I remember that a point of contention was the police report. Gates is adamant that he never referenced that officer's momma or anything like that. His report also says he was behaving loudly and...

    EZ Trader and Trading in general

    Hi everyone, it's been a long time! I'm glad to see some familiar names and a thriving community. I just wanted to bring this up: EZ Trader Has anybody tried this? A few of my coworkers mess around with it at work once in a while. It seems a little sketchy to me, although very interesting...

    Recommend a Balsamic

    I've been getting sick of mayo/mustard/ranch as a sandwich spread and thought I'd try to create my own. My idea was that I could get a cheapo balsamic, put a lot into a pot, toss in some shallots, and reduce down until it's a thick syrup. Combine this with chicken breast and melted Swiss cheese...

    Restaurant Week

    Anybody indulging themselves during Restaurant Week? I'm hitting up III Forks, Stephan Pyles, The French Room, Mi Piaci (old fave), and trying to get reservations for The Gallery (Dean Fearing's new place after he left The Mansion).

    Saks Fifth Avenue. . . . Art Museum?!

    I was hanging out at the Dallas Galleria doing my usual mall-walking and wandered into the 3rd floor of Saks Fifth Avenue. I typically avoid this area because the children's playground is so close, and it gets noisy. Tonight was dead, however, and I suddenly found myself in front of an art...

    Beer made out of pears?

    For the beer gurus on here, is there any beer you can recommend made out of pears? My girl hates beer but loves pears, so I'm thinking of getting a six-pack of this kind of beer for her as a funny birthday present. I did a little Googling and found "ACE Pear Cider", but it's not really what I...

    Worlds are Colliding

    I don't know about the rest of you office jockeys, but I maintain two separate personalities: work and the not-at-work. My problem is that my coworkers are constantly wanting to get together (at bars, dinner parties, etc.) and bring my girl along. I'm the only unmarried man in the whole group...

    Recommend Original Penguin-style Polos

    I recently got bigskydream's Original Penguin polo, and it fits me better than any polo I've ever worn. It was slim. sleeves weren't too short or too long, the puma cotton felt fantastic, and the presentation (two button-placket so high up that I didn't need to button anything) was terrific. In...

    Need 1337 Excel pros immediately

    If you're not familiar with INDEX and VLOOKUP functions in Excel, the rest will sound like gibberish. It breaks down like this: I'm using an INDEX function to report a value. My line is =INDEX(VLOOKUP(A1,A:B,3,FALSE), etc., etc.) The problem I'm having is that the nested VLOOKUP reports back...

    Remember the Eighties

    A friend of mine during lunch set forth this theory on what the eighties must've been like: Everybody was doing so much drugs, making so much money, and having so much sex that they just didn't care what their music sounded like. They didn't care what their clothes look like, or their hair, or...

    My Day Today

    I just want to brag for a moment, if you'll indulge me. All my coworkers are gone on a business trip this week. I was originally invited to go along, but I declined with an excuse. Now that they're all gone (including the boss!), I've decided that I'm going to "work from home" today. All I did...

    Dilemma: I don't like my coworkers

    It's not that we don't get along. Our day-to-day socializing around the office is smooth, and I always nod when they say things like "we're a family" and so forth. I'm fine with them, but they're just not the sort of people I'd "hang out" with under normal conditions. But now, some of my...

    I Got Don Imus'd This Morning

    So this morning, I got a group e-mail inquiring whether or not we had taken "diversity training." This largely consisted of a WebEx tutorial followed by a test with painfully easy questions. I didn't even go through the training and just went straight to the test, completed it, and that was it...
