If your TV has RCA/composite jacks (the red, yellow, and white circle ports), then there are versions of the Roku (the express) that work with those older connections.

To be fair, it is actually a word, and used mostly correctly in this context. Her grammar is horrid as usual though. It would usually be used as part of the phrase "in the midst of" such as "keeping calm in the midst of chaos"

I ended up hating most of the Rodman doc. There was an interesting story to tell there, but I didn't need to have them pad out the 2 hours with things like renditions Oh What A Beautiful Morning from Oklahoma to showcase that he was an outsider. They could easily have cut the existing material down to 60-90 minutes or used the extra time to explore some of the issues they glossed over. This is definitely one I won't bother to watch again.

He looks a bit like early 2000s Christian Slater to me.

So am I the only one who's initial knee jerk reaction to the Tankfarm name assumed they sold mostly tank tops before the episode aired?

For anyone looking forward to the next installment this week, "The Last Days of Knight," ESPN has decided that it will be available only through their paid streaming service ESPN+. Personally, as interested as I was in seeing it, I'm not even considering playing along with this, even via one of the free trials.

They aren't yet according to the selective service website. They lifted the gender restrictions on most roles in the military but didn't add them to the draft: https://www.sss.gov/Registration/Women-And-Draft There was a provision in one of the Senate budget bills in the middle of last year that would have changed the law to require women to register which got a lot of press, but that version of the bill never made it all the way through Congress because the House didn't include it and it never made it to the President. I would be quite amused if it turned out the Duggar sons didn't register and they actually got busted, but I suspect they are registered. I doubt they'd care that they wouldn't be eligible for govt jobs or federal student loans, but a $250,000 fine per son (which is the fine if the govt wants to throw the book at them) would certainly get JB's attention.

Looks like the whole fundraiser is gone now. All that is left is: This fundraiser was removed because of violations of our Terms of Use for Registered User Conduct. We have removed the fundraiser and have informed the nonprofit of this decision.

According to Charity Navigator, they only file an IRS 990-N which means that they reported that they took in less than $50k a year. Falling under that limit pretty much exempts you from most detailed reporting requirements (though you can still look up their 990-N directly on the IRS site). The only thing I found interesting in the filing that is that it was Jill and not her headship that was listed as the principal officer of the now defunct charity.

The case was dismissed, but recently (May 2017) re-instated on appeal. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/north-carolina/articles/2017-05-05/court-revives-black-tv-networks-discrimination-lawsuit

You mean like this one?

I don't remember if they outright said it, but they kept talking about her "last wish" and referring to her in the past tense, so I certainly came away with the impression that she was already dead.

Best guess: they probably used the role of Mistress of the Robes as shorthand for "all the various ladies in waiting"

Apparently they took turns so they were only "waiting" about 2-3 months out of the year and not all in one stint. This site has some good info: http://www.avictorian.com/victoria_ladies.html

The best explanation I could find is: "There are also two Extra Ladies of the Bedchamber. One of them, The Marchioness of Abergavenny, explains: 'I'm there if I'm wanted, if someone is ill for instance, or if Her Majesty wants me. Recently I was called in to help answer thousands of letters people sent in after the fire at Windsor.'"

I think it's supposed to just be some sort of bad pun/play on similar sounding words. Some of their other ones are something like an invested investor of vests who invests in (while wearing) vests or a retired man who is re-tiring retired tires.

I'm gonna go with joined at the hip. They said (on The Bait I think) that Josh and Casey are looking to do what they do on the Time Bandit. Both "captains" are on board, but one is in charge for one trip and the other in charge for the other trip.

My DVR says The Bait airs starting on the 21st.

Despite the name apartments.com does have house and townhouse listings as well as the expected apartments and condos. Not that the annoying commercials actually tell you that.

It's not specific to mariners. This guy has a pretty good explanation of why green is used to describe new or inexperienced: https://www.quora.com/How-did-the-word-green-become-synonymous-with-new-or-inexperienced Specifically greenhorn is addressed: "Finally there is greenhorn, a novice, an unsophisticated person, a new immigrant or a new arrival in the city from the country, which comes from SE greenhorn, a young animal, specifically an ox with ‘green’ or young horns. The term was first used in a military sense, describing a new recruit. "

North Carolina tends not to allow such interviews after conviction unless they think it will be beneficial to the state. Not sure why. Considering what employees of these bottom-feeder exotic dancing companies often feel compelled to do, it's not hard to come up with alternate theories as to where the DNA came from. There were plenty of photos and videos of the party, so identifying who was there was not all that difficult and they apparently did so. According to the Attorney General's report on the investigation "DNA from one or more men, who were not lacrosse team members or party attendees, was present on rape kit items" I seem to recall that the nails were found in the bathroom trash, the same bathroom she locked herself into. So it makes sense to me that if they came off in/near there, they would be in that trash can. Remember that the dancers were using that bathroom as a dressing room too. PS Kim's story changes pretty dramatically depending on which interview you read. If you want the most likely timeline of the party, I'd recommend going straight to the AG's report here: http://www.ncdoj.gov/getdoc/29748585-538e-43be-9de2-113628743d57/SummaryConclusions.aspx

He was fired by the lab and then had the gall to file a wrongful termination lawsuit (which was quickly dismissed). I believe he is now peddling himself as an independent expert and teaching courses. I highly doubt it. Even in that hearing he began by insisting that he had reported all the results. It was only when Brad pressed him on specifics that he admitted that there was DNA present that didn't match the accused.

I was surprised how much they left out of the story, but I guess they were running out of time and may not have wanted to deal with the other issues those threads would have brought up. My recollection is that they were taken by members of the team.

They looked like fake eyes to me. Probably intended to be painted glass, but they looked almost wooden to me.

I wonder if it's something similar to the whole "why are so many female meteorologists wearing the same dress" thing from last fall. Short version: it was cheap and met the wardrobe standards. Long version: http://www.techinsider.io/female-meteorologists-all-wearing-same-dress-2015-11
