I collect carded and loose.  I've been overlapping cardbacks so the bubbles touch for over a decade now - but ROTS packaging screwed that lal up.  The current bubbles allow for it to an extent - but those ROTS packages take up 3 times more room than figures used to.  If I run out of wall space (a distinct possibility over the next year or two) the Episode III figures are first in line to be boxed up.  No question about it.

you'd have to blur it out frame by frame, but I believe Adobe Premiere can automate that for you. if the timecode remains in the same place throughout the film, you should be able to tell premiere to blur it's location in the first frame, and then repeat it through the rest of the frames in the film.

You can use After Effects or Premiere Pro to create an adjustment layer, masked out to cover just the area you want to blur, then throw a blur plug-in onto the adjustment layer.  Then you'd have to re-export and make DVD's again.  For a file that big, it might be more trouble than it's worth.

How about this one:

I can stand Shaq quite easiliy, infact I think he's hilarious, but I live two minutes away from the American Airlines Center, in Dallas - so I'm going for Dallas.

Young has strikeout stuff, and moving from the American League (with the DH) to the National League (with the pitcher batting) bumped his K's per 9 up 2.0 on the spot.

Yeah, he instantly becomes the strike out leader on my fantasy team - which is pathetic.  If I'd been going with him all along I'd probably have 40 or so more K's than I do now.  Which wouldn't have translated into more points, but at least I'd be within striking distance of some more points in K's, right now I'm about 70 behind the pack.

I see you're done with Randy Johnson?  I was one pick ahead of you trying to decide between Halladay and Johnson.  When I took Halladay, you took Johnson so fast that I was assuming that you were valuing R.Johnson as the better of the two and were thrilled that I didn't take him.  Made me worry that I'd made a mistake for quite awhile.

On paper it was really a good pick - but your luck has been so absurdly bad so far that this probably just falls into that category.

Agree that if we do two flex's, it needs to be one of each - 4 RB's would definitely be too many.

As for the password Jamie, I'm not sure what to tell you - make sure that you're typing with a lowercase letters on the password?  Try it from a different computer?  It's obviously working for most people.

Blocked kicks, I don't think we did have points for that before - but I don't see any reason not to give a little something for that even though it's special teams - consider we've always given 6 for a return TD.  But if there's a majority of people who want it one way or the other, I'm open to it.  Democracy rules.



Is the number of bench spots set right now acceptable?  I'd like to find a nice balance... like in the baseball league right now I wish I had one or two more, but I also would hate for people to just be able to stockpile good players and not use them.

The VTSC question was mine (it was a no brainer of course).  I'm thrilled that they confirmed that they're looking at doing more of these.  I just hope that it's not one wave for the whole year.  Obviously they aren't going to do a wave every other month, but one for the first half of the year and one during the second half of the year would be good IMO.

I bought my POTF ATAT at Toys R Us on clearance for $19.99 back in the late 90's.

Hopefully I can do the exact same thing this time around - because I'm not paying $90.00 for some green paint and some pack ins that I already have half a dozen each of anyway.
