I don't follow your argument. If you can say a foul or penalty has been committed, how is not making the call any less dispositive? The referee is still deciding the game, he's just doing it by intentionally not calling the penalty or foul.

He is a fan of end-of-game mayhem. Sort of an arena-league twist in the last 2 minutes.

This is a major tactical error.

Tell me about it. Making matters worse - the boyfriend (who until this came up was in the running for the BotY award) went to over a hundred Dead shows, which means he may really be enjoying this, and I won't be able to get us out of there 15 minutes into the show, which I'd like. Good thing he offers sex in the styles I prefer.

I didn't see the first one, either, but Manning shouldn't be wasting his time bitching to the refs under those circumstances and the refs shouldn't be throwing the flag at that point in the game unless it's really flagrant and/or it affects play.

You have lost control of your mind.

Seems more like FIFA to me.

The game should be decided by what the players do in the course of play, not by the referees. As TM said, an NBA game should be decided by a tough shot in a lane, not by free throws made after a borderline call. The principle is the same.

I was being facetious since I figured you already knew I completely disagreed with you after we discussed this topic ad nauseum here already.

I am still waiting for someone to answer m question about concrete and the fire issue.

There is apparently some risk from the foam insulation which is typically put in place when the concrete walls are constructed. The cement industry asserts that this is not a significant risk. It's hard (i.e. cannot be done in 30 seconds with google) to find a thorough, unbiased analysis of the risk.

I'm in love with the prefab movement, and one of my best friends just started a construction/development company using shipping containers.

The prefabs are all over the map in terms of pricing and fit and finish, but I think there are some pretty cool ones out there. They're generally more cost effective than building most of the house on site, and they tend to be eco friendly.

You should head over to the National Building Museum and check out the Glidehouse for an idea of what they can do with these prefab houses these days.

Them's some mighty purty double-wides.

Thank you. my father in law was not specific to the problem. he just stated there is an issue when there is a fire.

I suspect that you are right, but you should also know that the presence of shower doors help retard the pace of the most raging of concrete fires. YMMV.

At half past nine in Courtroom 108 of the 2d District Municipal Courthouse in Skokie, Ill., defensive tackle Tank Johnson and his attorneys will ask Circuit Judge John J. Moran, Jr., for permission to leave the State of Illinois. Without Moran's permission, Johnson won't be going anywhere.

If the judge says no and the Bears lose, he can kiss his judicial career goodbye.

Oh, so only other professional quarterbacks can criticize?

No. Anybody can criticize. It's just whining if they do, though.

Tying this discussion in with the wood/concrete discussion, I will note here that my boyfriend was also once a huge fan of the Grateful Dead, and though he still sports long hair and a beard, he has yet to ask me to go to anything resembling a dead show, probably because he is a very smart man.

That said, he is also a very sophomoric man, because every time he goes out to the woodpile to get wood for the fire, he reports that he's "gotten wood" or sometime that he's "gotten wet wood". This is followed by a Beavis and Butthead like laugh.

Good thing he offers sex in the styles I prefer.

Huh. Must not be the case down here in South Florida, because there isn't any foam insulation in the concrete. They stack the concrete blocks into a house shape, drywall the inside, stucco the outside and voila! A house!
