I just got a message that someone who gets CSpan and CSpan-2 from DirecTV lost their C-Span 3 a while ago and would like someone - me - to restore it to service for them. As of this moment, I have only communicated with them through an intermediary, but neither the end user or the intermediary...

Coburn does strike me as "iggerrant". How did he make his mooney?

FYI, the Boston Globe reports that Drew will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. If he had taken the $14+M qualifying offer, I think he would have again been tethered to a draft pick. FWIW, the Red Sox outfield offense is so pathetic that if Drew clicks and...

A campground customer of mine where I maintained the free-to-guest SMATV needs ESPN for its Conference Center public viewing room to make the World Cup on ESPN available to his Conference Center visitors. The owner recently got brazen and dropped ESPN from his free-to-guest lineup a few months...

That search function is limited to the top 1,000 finishers. He wasn't one of them

Is there a site that publishes a searchable list of the times of all the finishers? A cousin of mine ran in it, but he is nearly 60 years old and likely did not make the top 10,000.

I watched Al Jazeera English regularly when it was broadcast off-air from Falls Church Virginia, and then I watch the bootleg feed that was available for a few weeks, but that got jammed so now I don't see it at all. I remember reading that Al Jazeera had hired four cable TV news has-beens to...

I drove through Philadelphia around 2006. Of course, I didn't have by radio's buttons set on any local FM stations, but each cycle through autoscan typically found three or four of his songs being played at the same time.

No chance any switch failure could cause this. Each receiver consistently elects the same channel (360 on one, 642 on the other) every time, and since the receivers were used in a sportsbar, it had to have had one receiver dedicated to 642. Someone in another forum has said that there might...

A DirecTV commercial dealer who has every category of dealership gave me a few old D11-100s that had been in a sportsbar analog modulated headend. It was my intention to use them for SMATV also. I'm having problems with two of them. One that I set for CNN 202 keeps switching itself to Fox...

Anyone can make six out of ten in the driveway, even seven out of ten with a little practice. But basketball players run up and down the court, get whacked and then have to take the results of their first two. A few decades ago, it was published in my local newspaper that the free throw...

Rick Wise pitched a major league no-hitter in which he hit TWO home runs. :p

Celtics "win" again.

A starting pitcher throws each and every pitch when he is on the mound. A starting fielder fields a tiny fraction of that many. 162 games times 9 innings each is about 1,400 or so innings. A 200 inning starter pitches 1/7 of his team's innings, whereas a 162 game a year position player bats...
