Yes, same problem with 40/80 HORSE at the Shoe. There just either aren't enough tables available, or there aren't enough dealers. The house feels pretty fancy just running infinite 2/5 nl tables, and there's really not much you can do about it aside from offering people cash for their seat, or vulturing the table in order to play over peoples dinner breaks.

What I don't get is why they bother to make announcements advertising the games at all when they're just going to wind up with 10 extra players wandering aimlessly, showing anyone in proximity pictures of their grandkids. Do they really need more 2/5nl players? That list seems pretty full already.

basically you have to get in with the people who run the game so that you'll be in the loop in terms of being told when the game is gonna start each day, because obviously if you're not one of the first 10-11 people there you're just not getting a seat before early morning

Once shows become hits the actors in them have huge bargaining power. It's the same reason Daniel Radcliffe was one of, if not the highest paid actor in Hollywood last year. The studio and Radcliffe's people know Potter films will make close to $1 billion so Radcliffe can ask for absurd amounts of money. Similarly 2 1/2 Men has been the highest rated show sitcom for a really long time and Sheen's contract ran up last year. Sheen knew CBS was making tons from the show and he knew he was largely responsible for it so he could ask for huge amounts of money. One reason he was the highest paid star is because of the recency of his contract renegotiation.

it's been really popular for a long time. i hadn't even heard of the show until 2008 and i think it was the most popular show on TV then.

i watch some of the reruns sometimes now. it's actually pretty funny. it's stupid, but it's funny watching charlie sheen play himself.

ps can you imagine how high the ratings are going to be if the show comes back on?

just booked a wager at even money on the show coming back. what do you guys think the line is?
03-02-2011 , 04:00 PM
Yesterdays re-run drew in 11.5 million viewers

Coming back with Sheen or just coming back?
03-02-2011 , 04:02 PM
I think you've got way the best of it.

If 2 months ago, someone would have said to me, "Here's a random list of shows. Rank them by # of viewers (of all shows, not just the ones on the list)."

I would have put 2 and a Half men at ~ 18th.

Thanks magicninja for the link.
so awesome I was just wondering yesterday when google would come out with something like this. thx for posting!

I had that for awhile and it sucked because i couldn't check my gmail from my iphone.. does anyone know a way to get around this? I couldn't find anything googling =/

Oh actually maybe I could check it in browser, open my Authenticator app, and then put that in.. But, that seems like a hassle. Any other workarounds?

It's a little weird, you have to create an app specific password because "Some mobile or desktop applications that work outside of a browser aren't yet compatible with 2-step verification."

Login into your Google Account here and create a password, the specific name you give the app doesn't matter, its just for your reference

https://www.google.com/accounts/b/0/...ns#accesscodes

Then just update your Gmail password on your iPhone in Settings -> Mail

Edit: To further clarify, this process is not changing your main Google Account password ... it's just creating a 30 day password for different third party apps that may access your Google Account

I dont see what the problem is, when the thing pops up you just minimize that and go into the authenticator and memorize it and then go back to the other screen and type it in. I just did it no problem and you only have to do it once every 30 days.

18th is about right.

I need some recommendations for a restaurant in Vegas and I know a lot of HSNL posters are into great food. It will be for my GFs birthday so obviously ambiance is an issue and not just great food. It will be for the two of us and also on a weekday night (so I'm guessing getting in most places won't be a problem).

Hey tommy, yea I figured this out and it was an easy fix. You have to create a second password for your iphone mail app (look in the google authenticator email you got and it will have a link to do this). When you name the second password name it "POP" I believe (I tried iPhone and the password it gave me didnt work). It will then give you a code to enter on your iPhone mail settings and you will never have to type it in again.

http://www.**************/2011/02/tv-...leads-the-way/
