Another thumb up for Jerry!

Thanks guys! I've changed both the sleep function and the screen saver to "never", and I've unclicked the majority of the startup programs. We'll see if that all works better.

I am having two problems with my desktop, and I hope that you folks can help me. I am using Windows 7 Home. When I am away from the computer for a while, it goes to sleep, and I can't get it to wake up. How can I stop it from going to sleep? In the alternative, how do I wake it up? The last time I upgraded Spotify, they added the feature that it would automatically boot up when I turn on the computer. Where do I find the list of programs which automatically boot up so that I can delete Spotify from the list? Thanks!

Rich Peverley collapsed while on the Dallas Stars' bench tonight. The game against the Columbus Blue Jackets was postponed as a result. Must be pretty serious.

This one is now up on Spotify. I've been enjoying it. It goes by quickly. However, I think that a little too much spotlight is put on her drumming.

Happy Birthday FFA!

In the early '80s, after the national speed limit had been imposed, I was driving south on the interstate running from York, PA, down to Baltimore. I was quickly passed by a white Volkswagen Beetle with a Maryland tag which said F55MPH.

I guess some people try to test the system, and see how far they can go when applying for a new tag. Here's a list of 100 which were turned down. http://www.wral.com/news/local/image_gallery/13455295/

Happy Birthday jazztrain!

The Als named their coaching staff this morning. I had no idea some CFL teams have so many coaches. http://en.montrealalouettes.com/page/coaching-staff

Some may remember game show host Geoff Edwards from the '70s. RIP. http://www.latimes.com/obituaries/la-me-geoff-edwards-20140306,0,3793049.story#axzz2urQh0jAn

Herb Zurkowski tweets that Jim Popp has retained labor lawyer Gary Rosen. ***** Buffalo has announced that it will not play in Toronto this year. Remember when all of the reporters said that the Bills playing in Buffalo would put the Argos out of business? http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/story/?id=445309

Sonny today tweeted a confirmation of the May 6 release day.

Here's an article that says that the Ticats will pay $30 million rent for their 20-year lease at their new ballpark. I don't know what the other teams with new stadiums are paying. Anybody know? http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/cfls_tiger_cats_sign_lease_for_tim_hortons_field1/

The teeth of an elephant are very hard to extract, except in Alabama where the Tuscaloosa. (When told by a contestant on You Bet Your Life that he had six children...) I like my cigar, but I take it out every once in a while. (Again, from You Bet Your Life...) "And what do you do for a living?" "Groucho, I'm a Fuller Brush salesman." "You're Fuller WHAT?"
