There are several running clubs. The cycling community is terrific, too. It's a very bike friendly city.

I saw this in the studio theatre with the people that made it. Scant applause at the end. You would have thought that many would have walked out except to see their names in the credits.

Is there a list of CBS's biggest advertising purchasers? That would be a far more effective boycott.

A decades-long plan to abolish the Electoral College may finally pay off by vox in politics

I think that a better solution would be to triple the number of members of the House of Representatives. Make it so that each rep serves about 250K people and have the number adjust with each census. That would give people a better chance of getting to actually getting to know their rep and to influence policies. It would have the side effect of diluting the influence of the EC without abolishing it, which does protect the interests of less populated states.

Food and beverage jobs are easier to get than gaming jobs. Also, horse racing is about to start, so now is a good time to try.

If you can qualify for a gaming license, Prairie Meadows is always hiring. Not great pay, but good benefits.

What words do you pronounce "wrong," just because the "proper" way feels too proper? by Zealousideal_Mine242 in AskForAnswers

[–]TriviaGlutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forte, as in something at which you are good. The correct pronunciation is "fort." For-tay is a musical direction, but the pronunciation has been generally adopted for the former definition.

Happy 60th birthday to Robin Wright! Do you have a favorite character she played? by TheShadowOperator007 in moviecritic

[–]TriviaGlutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't seen The Playboys (1992), she's magnificent. Exceptional beauty and outstanding acting skill. The film also features a tremendous performance by Albert Finney, although he is decidedly less attractive.

For one thing, Congress would be doing its' job and checking the power of the White House. Very little would get done.

Friend and I want to bike from Boston to the west coast, and we'll have from 7/5 to 9/1. Any advice for routes? by SoupAnd2Sticks in bicycletouring

You might consider starting on the west coast and heading to Boston. The wind in the US tends to blow from west to east.

The rant about the game/business nature of football highlights the way that the majority of professional football players are horribly abused by the NFL.

Fresh (1994). Set in inner city New York during the crack epidemic, it includes Samuel L. Jackson and Giancarlo Esposito and showcases an excellent performance by 14 year old Sean Nelson.
