Day 797.         Glogs attract trolls. Any... (who needs users)  Day.. Now.

May 7, 1915.  German u-boat torpedoes and sinks the Ocean liner Lusitania in an unprovoked attack.

Day 798, CBS continues it's unprovoked attacks on favorites.

May 7th, 1824   Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" premiers in Vienna.


Day 798.   Even a deaf composer can write a symphony with the best scherzo ever created and the Ode to Joy.  What is the excuse for coders?  Any...  (unlimited by limits)  Day.. Now.

I bet it's crazy partying with this guy.

Just take your top off.

That seems to be your answer to most things.  lol

I'm not even sure that would do the trick with that guy.  Other things seem to interest him a lot more.

So, you're saying I need to take matters into my own hands?

A-799.

In the military, when a system on a piece of equipment was thought faulty, the air crew/ user/ pilot/ driver would fill out a VIDS/MAF (Visual Information Display System/Maintenance Action Form) stating what was wrong with the system and turning it in to Maintenance Control. Control would then send it out to the specific shop to fix the problem. When the technician went out to the aircraft, ran up the FLIR/Radar/ACU system and could not duplicate the problem or found no errors, they would sign off the gripe sheet with 11-1-A-799 (at least in the airwing that was the full line/box codes) and send it back to Control meaning that we couldn't duplicate the problem and they were full of crap.

We just sent back two MAF's A-799'd on those two down jets. I don't know what the pilot/RIO/B/N was thinking or doing wrong, but we tracked targets fine. Maybe they really CANT hit anything and needed to blame it on the aircraft. See if you can get flight ops to put Wiley up in her next time, betcha he won't gripe the tracking system!

Day 799.    Where do we send our A-799's on site code limits and the broken gametracker?   Any...   (faulty)  Day.. Now.

So, you're saying I need to take matters into my own hands?

To help out that nerdy guy?  Wow, Paul, you never struck me as that much of a humanitarian.  No, that sort of thing is frowned upon.

Day 799.  Another milestone yesterday.

Wow!  I could have sworn I typed tomorrow.  I need more sleep,

May 9th, 1941   The German submarine U-110 is captured at sea along with its Enigma machine by the Royal Navy.
Examing the Enigma coding device allowed Alan Turing and his colleagues at Bletchley Park to break the German High Command codes and read orders as they were sent.

Day 800.   Eight hundred.    Coding continues to be an issue at CBS with scoreboards not updating now after the firts try at a fix for game comments.  I'd suggest they capture the secret device that other sites are using .....   an HTML manual.   Any... (Bombing Coventry) Day.. Now.

800 days.  Quite an accomplishment.........Wait a second.

I take it back.

Day 800.  Today everyone should call random 1-800 numbers and complain about crappy cbssports.com customer service.  I guarantee it will be at least as effective as contacting actual cbssports.com support.

Paul is suggesting that I call 1-900-Take Your Top Off 

May 10th, 1497 - Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci leaves for 1st voyage to New World

Day 801. And that's why this country is called Vespucciland.   Columbus got screwed.  Maps miscoded.  Marketing, Ho.  Any... (Germs, Guns, Steel)  Day.. Now.

801 days.  This thread can outlast the Everready Bunny.

On this day in 1869, the presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads meet in Promontory, Utah, and drive a ceremonial last spike into a rail line that connects their railroads.


Day 801, and still no connection between favorites, site functionality, and customer service.

The German submarine U-110 is captured at sea along with its Enigma machine by the Royal Navy.

Are you sure it wasn't a Japanese U-boat?

Are you sure it wasn't a Japanese U-boat?

May 9th was about 7 months before Pearl Harbor.  Enigma was a german coding device.

(did I miss a double entendre?  CBS could be coding in Japanese.)

The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, so I'm guessing it was the Japanese who had subs throughout the Atlantic.

There never was show business like we know it until this day in 1888, when Israel Baline was born in Tyumen, Russia. Maybe you don’t recognize this name; but we’re sure you’ll recognize and be able to sing many of the tunes he composed when he grew up.

Little Israel came to the United States with his family at the age of four. His father died several years later, so Israel took to the streets of New York, singing on street corners and in saloons, and as a singing waiter, all to earn money to help support his family. It was the beginning of a wonderful career in song, stage and movies. A printer’s error on the music sheet for his composition, Marie from Sunny Italy, accidentally changed his name. The change became permanent.

Mr. American Music, better known to us as Irving Berlin, wrote more songs than we care to count including Alexander’s Ragtime Band, Always, Doin’ What Comes Naturally, Puttin’ on the Ritz, Blue Skies, Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning and Play a Simple Melody. This man, who could neither read nor write music, also composed a song titled, Smile and Show Your Dimple. You probably never heard of that one; but seventeen years later, when produced, it became a hit as Easter Parade.

Day 802.  Eight Hundred and Two.   There's no business like show business.  Other than site code.   Any...  (Treble Clef)  Day..  Now.

The body of Leon Besnard is exhumed in Loudun, France, by authorities searching for evidence of poison. For years, local residents had been suspicious of his wife Marie, as they watched nearly her entire family die untimely and mysterious deaths. Law enforcement officials finally began investigating Marie after the death of her mother earlier in the year.

Marie married Leon in August 1929. The couple resented the fact that they lived relatively modestly while their families were so well off. When two of Leon's great aunts perished unexpectedly, most of their money was left to Leon's parents. Consequently, the Besnards invited Leon's parents to live with them.

Shortly after moving in, Leon's father died, ostensibly from eating a bad mushroom. Three months later, his widow also died and neighbors began chatting about a Besnard family jinx. The inheritance was split between Leon and his sister, Lucie. Not so surprisingly, the newly rich Lucie died shortly thereafter, supposedly taking her own life.

Becoming increasingly greedy, the Besnards began looking outside the family for their next victim. They took in the Rivets as boarders, who, under the Besnards' care, also died abruptly. No one was too surprised when the Rivets' will indicated Marie as the sole beneficiary.

Pauline and Virginie Lallerone, cousins of the Besnards, were next in line. When Pauline died, Marie explained that she had mistakenly eaten a bowl of lye. Apparently, her sister Virginie didn't learn her lesson about carelessness, because when she died a week later, Marie told everyone that she too had inadvertently eaten lye.

When Marie fell in love with another man in 1947, Leon fell victim to her poisoning as well. Traces of arsenic were found in his exhumed body, as well as in the rest of her family's corpses. But Marie didn't let a little bit of pesky evidence get in her way. She managed to get a mistrial twice after trace evidence was lost while conducting the tests for poison each time. By her third trial, there wasn't much physical evidence left. On December 12, 1961, Marie Besnard was acquitted. The "Queen of Poisoners," as the French called her, ended up getting away with 13 murders.

Meanwhile, it is day 802 of CBSsports.com poisoning the favorites of all it's users, and getting away with it.

Considering how long admins say they've been working on fixing things, I'd say we have mistakenly been eaten by a bowl of lie.

They're boasting about raising the faves limit from 150 to 250.

and when you reach that one....

same story, new limit,

a non-fix.

May 12th, 1951 1st H Bomb test, on Enewetak Atoll

Day 803.   How's the Manhattan project going, CBS?   Any... (duck and cover) Day.. Now.

Rule 804. Hearsay Exceptions; Declarant Unavailable

(a) Criteria for Being Unavailable. A declarant is considered to be unavailable as a witness if the declarant:

   (1) is exempted from testifying about the subject matter of the declarant’s statement because the court rules that a privilege applies;

   (2) refuses to testify about the subject matter despite a court order to do so;

   (3) testifies to not remembering the subject matter;

   (4) cannot be present or testify at the trial or hearing because of death or a then-existing infirmity, physical illness, or mental illness; or

      (A) the declarant’s attendance, in the case of a hearsay exception under Rule 804(b)(1) or (6); or

      (B) the declarant’s attendance or testimony, in the case of a hearsay exception under Rule 804(b)(2), (3), or (4).

   (6) is blocked from being a favorite of a poster on a message board due to a misguided, ill-advised and unnecessary limit.


Day 804.   Happy Mother's Day, all you mothers.   Sing along....

M is for the many days we've been here,
O is for the overly bloated code.
T is for the thousand things still broken,
H is for the heedless service stance.
E is for the excuses offered blithely,
R is for the ridiculous limit still in effect.

Put them all together they spell Mother, the one who means the world.... to.... me.

(thank you for your attention.)

Day 805.   There's a limit to favorites, but no limit on waiting for the fix.  Any... (paradoxical) Day.. Now.

805 days and still no unlimited favorites?

§806. Criminal mischief

1.    A person is guilty of criminal mischief if that person intentionally, knowingly or recklessly: A. Damages or destroys the property of another, having no reasonable grounds to believe that the person has a right to do so; damages or destroys property to enable any person to collect insurance proceeds for the loss caused; or tampers with the property of another, having no reasonable grounds to believe that the person has the right to do so, and thereby impairs the use of that property; [1991, c. 824, Pt. D, §3 (RPR).]


Day 806.  I can't write off the misguided favorites limit as mischief - the CBS coders aren't kids.    Are they?   A token gesture isn't a fix, it's a patch.  It's not unlimited.   Any... (no reasonable grounds)  Day.. Now.
