Now I'm curious as to the cleaning procedures when the planes get to the US. It was sitting for 4 hours before it was in service again. - Eric - Final Countdown

Went to the TJ in Denver today. Got some cookie butter, sipping chocolate, Halloween Jo joe's, beer & wine. Didn't want to get anything that had to be refrigerated since I was an hour away from home. I'll save cheese & other cold goodies for the one her in C/S. - Elena

"Ah, frat boys. Always a reliable source of idiotic, ill-advised hijinks in the name of just havin’ a good time and chillaxin’. The latest example: Texas Tech University’s chapter of Phi Delta Theta, who have come under fire for displaying a “No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal” banner and a “vagina sprinkler” at a totally killer party last month, bruh. BroBible posted a few Snapchats from party attendees, who photographed the displays" - Eric - Final Countdown

Huh. I remember a bunch of other fraternity boys (Ivy League, can't remember the college at the moment) marching through their campus chanting the same thing, but don't remember them getting kicked out. - Jennifer Dittrich

"Simmons was recently on NPR’s “Ask Me Another Question,” a game show thingy where she was asked to identify some of the trendiest food trends out there. Naturally, she is on point with a lot of them. (And we certainly like that the prize was a Top Chef Duels pillow … times are tough indeed.) On Cronuts (in response for how to get one): “All you have to do is wake up at 4 a.m. and go line up in Soho like a lunatic.” On kale chips (no, we didn’t know either that Dan Barber is the one credited for its invention. Yet another reason to love that man): “I don’t buy them because they cost like $12 for half an an ounce! But I’ll make them ocassionally. They’re enjoyable.” Sure, kale chips deserve more accolades than “enjoyable.” On truffle oil: “Truffle oil is the thing that everyone loves to hate, but you know once in a while — don’t deny it! … It’s very artificial and terrible tasting … Most of the time it’s artificial made in a lab somewhere.” On cake pops: “I will say, and I don’t want to offend anyone, they are one of my most hated things in the universe and I think I’m a terrible human being going straight to hell because of it. … They never taste good — i just want a piece of cake, there was nothing wrong with a piece of cake before.” We couldn’t love you any more than we already do. We’re off to eat that piece of cake now." - Eric - Final Countdown

"“We watch wireless printer and projector makers continue to live in 1999 for WLAN capabilities, and do little as an industry to fix it. We sit by while mobile titans like Verizon and AT&T pepper the landscape with Mi-Fi devices, and get steamed when students bring classroom Wi-Fi to its knees with iPhone personal hotspots all on channel 2 at power well beyond what our own APs put out. We see client makers still put out 2.4 GHz-only WLAN adapters, and then act surprised when we get trouble tickets for those devices in RF-dirty spaces.”" - Eric - Final Countdown

That's really sad. - Starmama

Honestly, there's no way to speculate. If there's any sort of merit, I hope the authorities take it seriously. If not, I hope she receives whatever care she needs. - Jennifer Dittrich

"Following is an abbreviated version of the "Timeline of Notable Events" from the Aurora theater shooting report." - Eric - Final Countdown

Reading the timeline, I was wondering if certain responses were taking too long. Then I pulled up the scanner traffic, and the timeline seems like it goes by at 4x speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch... - Eric - Final Countdown

"Saturday Night Live vet Jan Hooks died Thursday morning in New York City following a serious illness, TMZ is reporting. Hooks was a memorable part of the SNL cast from 1986-91, and was known for her work with Nora Dunn as part of the Sweeney Sisters, as well as for impressions of Kathie Lee Gifford, Tammy Faye Bakker and Sinead O’Connor." - Eric - Final Countdown

"The fight broke out at a house party, when an older woman allegedly shoved Willow, 20, and Bristol, 23, confronted the alleged assailant, according to the police report obtained by TMZ. Bristol told police that the owner of the Anchorage house, Korey Klingenmeyer, shoved her down on the ground and began dragging her across the lawn by her feet, calling her a “slut” and “c–t.” However, Klingenmeyer, 39, and several other witnesses claim Bristol threw the first punch. Klingenmeyer says Bristol came around to the back of the house saying she was going to “beat that girl’s ass” and got violent when Klingenmeyer told her to go home. He adds that Bristol threatened to hit him and he told her to go ahead. He let her hit him a few times before pushing her off of him onto the ground. One witness said Bristol “was out of control.” The scene reportedly involved at least 20 people. A witness told TMZ that Todd was jumped by four people and Track jumped in to help — but previous reports said that Track, 25, ripped off his shirt and began throwing punches." - Eric - Final Countdown

"Xanterra has invested more than $200 million into the park, building lodging, roads, trails and employee housing. Any competitor who wants to bid on the Grand Canyon concessionaire contract would have to reimburse Xanterra $198 million. That makes for an intimidating hurdle for potential bidders. The limited competition in concessionaire bidding also hindered the Park Service's ability to raise its off-the-top cut on Xanterra's gross receipts when negotiating a new contract at the park. The agency, by federal law, must give concessionaires "a reasonable opportunity for net profit in relation to capital invested." To make the concessionaire contract for the Grand Canyon's South Rim operations more inviting for bidders, the cash-strapped Park Service in August said it was scraping together $100 million to reduce Xanterra's equity, paying a portion of the so-called lease-holder surrender interest. It was the largest buy-down in the agency's history. The idea was that the agency could then increase the fees it charges any new concessionaire. Xanterra, in the lawsuit filed in Denver's U.S. District Court on Tuesday, said the buy-down represented the "NPS, in effect, (acting) to subsidize Xanterra's potential competitors."" - Eric - Final Countdown

"Fearful of exposure to Ebola, about 200 of the people who clean airplane cabins walked off the job overnight at LaGuardia International Airport." - Eric - Final Countdown

I have to admit that, while I realize the probability of contracting Ebola on an airplane is infinitesimal, I have been given to a few moments of pause while preparing to fly across the country next week. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

"The Food Network and the Travel Channel are upping their games. On the heels of news of a Richard Blais TV show on the Food Network, there will also be a new Curtis Stone-headlining TV show premiering on the network. (Has the Food Network finally woken up?) Kitchen Inferno will turn chefs against each other in a series of culinary challenges, all in front of a live audience." - Eric - Final Countdown

"This year’s fall TV lineup has plenty of the shows we already love to watch: Parts Unknown, Top Chef, Mind of a Chef, all that jazz. And some of our fan-hits from last year are getting second seasons, justifying all of our binge-watching from last year. And of course we’re pumped to watch some truly Boston-tastic spoofs this year on Top Chef. But this year’s lineup has us pumped for some out-there, never-been-done before TV shows that are bound to have us drooling. And it turns out, we just happen to really like PBS. Sorry, Mom, for resenting the fact that you made us watch PBS as a kid." - Eric - Final Countdown

"This is not really a review of the Wendy's Pulled Pork Cheese Fries; in order for it to function as a review, I would have to go to a Wendy's location and say, aloud, to a Wendy's employee, "I will have the Pulled Pork Cheese Fries," and I can't even rehearse that without my hands literally punching me in the face of their own accord." - Eric - Final Countdown

"“I remember one of the shows we did, I had six chefs… and I had them make an omelette,” he recalled. “Nobody could do an omelette. I would not have served any of their omelettes in our restaurants. It was terrible. I said, ‘You guys are chefs?’ I asked the producers, ‘Can we fire them all?’… It’s amazing how sometimes the people cook terrible food.”" - Eric - Final Countdown
