Rocky,
Is there a move in society to want to change Sinterklaas' Zwarte Pieten?

No. Not at all, surprisingly enough. There are always a couple of people who want to ban it, but the vast majority want the tradition to be continued. An even bigger part is just totally oblivious to it.

Must look like one hell of a racist holiday to you guys, though.

It doesn't matter to me. I get frustrated when things change due to the perceived need for "Political Correctness". But I understand the sensitivity some would have when a link can be drawn from Satan to Piet. And worse yet, from Satan to Piet through the Spanish. :tongue3: j/k

Merry Christmas to all of you. We have a potent snowstorm on the way, we are expecting over eight inches and surely it will be fun.

I am a woman and I love football.

Happy Christmas to all!

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I haven't seen any version of that movie. Both Santa and her have quite an accent, btw. Lol.

Pretty nice feel good moment. Read up on it a little and I must say that it's a shame that the 1994 version takes the easy way out.

Meanwhile, Susan sees Kris talking and singing with a Dutch World War II orphan girl in her native tongue and begins to wonder if perhaps Kris is real. (In the 1994 remake, Kris communicates with a deaf girl via sign language.)

Interesting.. Thanks for the links.. I had a good read. I know, I'm uncultured, but honestly I never knew about that holiday.

Yeah.. We are gearing up for at least 10 inches.. reports are saying there'll be areas hit with 20 inches. Also, The National Weather Service said, "THIS EVENT MAY BECOME COMPARABLE TO THE HALLOWEEN SNOW STORM OF 1991"

Yeah, it's a shame.. But wasn't the 1994 version set in the current time frame? It'd be hard for Santa to communicate with a Dutch orphan girl in 1994.

dfosterf (18h) : Just gotta figure out how.

dfosterf (18h) : Could have been a worse start, so there is that.

beast (19h) : Yeah, someone tell the Packers football season has started, seems like they weren't ready for it

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Sooooooo many penalties

Mucky Tundra (19h) : It may only be preseason, but this game is a trip to the dentist

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers do good -- eh only preseason

Mucky Tundra (9-Aug) : THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE PLAYING FOOTBALL TONIGHT!!!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!

Zero2Cool (9-Aug) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (9-Aug) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
