Saudis make a $2 billion offer. Majors not included. This would merge the men's and women's tours, add a master's in Saudi Arabia, and they want a decision in 90 days.

Best to visit is Charleston. Nola used to be up there, but crime is even worse than it used to be.
Best to live is Charlotte or Raleigh. ...

One more vote for Naxos. My wife and I went there and Santorini. Santorini is beautiful and is worth seeing, but it felt like more of a scene. Naxos felt more laid back and authentic. The town is nice for walking and we also enjoyed renting a car and exploring.
I've also heard great things about...

I was satisfied with the conclusion. It didn't blow me away, but it wasn't a let-down that was out of the blue (like GOT), I thought it seemed pretty inline with the entire show.
IMO, people talking about how Shiv changed her mind out of the blue don't get it. Voting against Ken wasn't out of cha...

This expansion just sucks. They sold out tradition for more money and then didn't even get the contract buttoned up. Should all be fired with no golden parachutes. ...

Interesting, so the SEC pushed through this expansion that most fans don't even want based on a promise of more money, and now, according to this, the TV overlords aren't even going to pay up other than the pro-rata share which means existing teams get the same amount.
Ridiculous. Can we send Tex...

I'm very late on this but bumping it. I thought it was great. Very fun old monster movie vibe and probably the best thing I've seen from phase 4.
Seems like it didn't get much buzz which is too bad bc it seems like most who watched it really liked it. ...

In Raleigh:
1. Spring: weather is great, everything is in bloom, days are getting longer. Pollen is a little annoying, but no big deal.
2. Summer: warm/hot weather, grilling out, going to the beach, long days. It doesn't get too hot for too long in Raleigh.
3. Fall: weather is pretty nice...

It has obviously been very lopsided lately, which sucks, but I remember in the 1980's when we won 7 out of 8. They only lead the all-time series by 7 games. It was tied less than a decade ago.
I don't want to throw out a historic rivalry bc we have had a bad 10-15 years out of 130....

For me, college football is about tradition and rivalries. It has to be the 9 game schedule.
Bama and UGA are given.
For the third spot, I'm flexible. I'd like it to be an original SEC member. We have played Miss State a lot. Ole Miss would also be fine. We used to have a great rivalry with ...

My most epic movie experience was watching a re-release of Lawrence of Arabia at an old-school movie palace in Washington DC. Everything was just so huge and majestic. Felt like the glory days of movies.
Other memorable trips to the theater were watching Pulp Fiction with friends and a rowdy crow...

I watched this last night and thought it was enjoyable, but not quite as good as the original.
I thought it actually started a little slowly, then picked up and was very entertaining, but for me the ending was a little flat. The characters (beside Blanc) were not quite as engaging as in the firs...
