Col Blake referenced his wife having attended "Illinois-Normal", and it being a different school than he attended. So there was some misunderstanding, just not about U of I being in Bloomington/Normal.

I've heard similar on Miller, but he still has to be their first call.

What's up with Matta's health?

Archie Miller, Keatts as back up?

Do you mean bitcoin mining?

I don't know what your work situation is, but you might want to call your company's benefits hotline to see if they offer the SDBA option for your 401K. It wasn't mentioned anywhere on our Benefits website, nor on the 401K website (which is not managed by TD Ameritrade, but by ING, who loses...

In the case of our company, the 401K administrator was afraid of losing the account. They won't make as much money on employees that opt for the SDBA, but I doubt a very significant portion of employees will choose it. It isn't well advertised, and it does require more active involvement...

You got that right. Our current 401K (with ING, and not to bore everyone too many details) has ONE fund option for non-US markets, and it has under-performed the MSCI EAFE index for 7 consecutive years (and that's not even the most egregious example). So I'm pretty damned excited about being...

Last Sunday's episode was the best this season by far. I'd had enough of the "what's real and what's a dream" contrivances. Give me some good ole wacked-out cultists, a government conspiracy, and a small town ready to explode. Don't know what they thought they were doing the first few weeks.

My company just announced that the 401K plan is now offering a self-directed brokerage account (SDBA) through TD Ameritrade. It sounds almost too good to be true. Buh-bye just 12 options for investments. Anybody have experience using an SDBA for their 401K? On paper, it sounds just like a...

I think Berg has given himself a cameo in each episode so far. He was the dead body in one of the episodes. I'm not sold on the show yet. I'm fine with shows that leave you with lots of questions, in fact I like them. But when you're left not even knowing what questions to ask, or without...

Lawrence was good, and once I saw SLPB, she was better than I expected (who knew she could dance?), but I tire a bit of Hollywood rewarding actors for portraying people with mental illnesses. Just a pet peeve of mine. And as I said, Chastain carried ZD30 in a way JLaw did not carry her movie.

Sorry to post this here since it technically doesn't belong, but I had a chance to watch "Zero Dark Thirty" again last night for the third time. It only served to reinforce my position that Jessica Chastain got absolutely freaking robbed of the Best Actress Oscar in 2013. She carried that...

It was good. I don't think I'd go so far to say it was awesome. A bit disjointed and hard to follow. Especially for those unfamiliar with the comics. It would have been difficult (especially in the future world) to know the names of the mutants or even their powers. One other note: it is...
