Junk Drawer--June 10, 2009 (MOM! edition)

PrintHere it is--the Mean Ol' Mod edition of the junk drawer.
We all love the Junk Drawer. It's a place to hang and post random off topicness that wouldn't otherwise fit around the site.
A lot goes on in these threads that might not fly elsewhere on BE. Sabonis4Ever asked for leniency in the junk drawer, and I approved heartily with a rec, as did a few other members. However, we've got to realize that the line must be somewhere. It's hard to tell where sometimes, but I (and some fellow members/moderators) felt that yesterday's JD crossed that line, which ultimately led to its demise.
The junk drawer is one of the first things that visitors see when they come to Blazers' Edge, especially when rec'ed to the top of the Fanposts every day. There's no problem doing that, but it also means that the subjects have to stay in bounds. Talking about the things talked about in yesterday's thread (i.e. ideas for a Bachelor party) are completely fine--but when we get into details about what goes on at those parties and all that, pretty soon we end up crossing that line that's so ever-hard-to-find.
Yes, part of it might just be Portland culture, but there still is barrier, a wall that needs to be maintained. It's really not a good thing for Blazers Edge to spend an entire thread (or at least, half of one) talking about strip clubs, where the best ones are in town, and what goes on at them. There are other websites for that kind of stuff. Remember, we're trying to keep Blazers Edge accessible for fans of all ages and walks of life. A number of moderators and commenters discussed with me how uncomfortable it was to have a junk drawer that talked about what it did.
All in all, this is not a repromand nor is it a warning; it's simply a reminder that BE is to be held to the highest of standards; we're not an average blog, by any means. The community atmosphere around here is awesome; most of you all don't need anyone to say that even :-)
In the week or so since mods have arrived, there have been relatively few issues to deal with. The level of conversation, which was already incredibly passionate, thoughtful, and worthwhile has seemingly increased to an even higher level, if that is possible. It's great to see people are arguing ideas instead of people, even passionately. That is wonderful to see.
There have been a few warnings here and there, but they've been relatively small in number and have been generally well-received.
We appreciate any flagging you guys do; it makes our life easy. Aside from some folks flagging for "lameness" or similar silliness, it has gone quite well having the community help us out. Keep it up!
As I mentioned in yesterday's junk drawer, hopefully you guys see as as protector cops rather than "traffic cops" who are looking to fill a quota of warnings and tickets. As Dave mentioned last week, moderators
"...are tasked with keeping community conversational standards fair and high, welcoming newcomers gracefully, and resolving any difficulties that may come our way creatively but authoritatively."
Obviously, that goes for everyone, not just for a select six people. We are ALL responsible for keeping conversation standards high, and you don't have to be a moderator to welcome a newbie to the fold.
Remember, the goal of the junk drawer (or any thread on Blazers Edge) is to bring something useful and worthwhile to the community--so whether it's here in the JD, out on the main page, or elsewhere in the sidebar, let's try to be posting for the benefit of more than just ourselves.
Anyway, just wanted to clear the air after deleting yesterday's junk. Now, onwards to today's junking!
If you have thoughts about the moderation of the site, feel free to email me or any of the other moderators; you can find our email addresses by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Dave's contact info is also there, if you feel the need to get a hold of him.

this place has been freaking empty the last couple days
what’s the deal?
did the mods go on a banning spree?
Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
nah, i think site issues might be slowing people down.
it’s been lagging and double posting for me quite a bit as of late…seems to be better tonight. The only banning I can think of was a poster who went major ad-hominem and foul language all at the same time. Bannings are quite rare at BE; hopefully it stays that way.

What is the most underrated moment of last season?
I think it has to be Mike Rice yelling “Do you believe in miracles?!” after a routine Blake three in December.

I think the Aldridge slap to KG was one the top underrated

underrated?
Batum’s “two” to Gasol. That was simply one of the greatest moments in trailblazer history for me.
Josh || BlazersEdge.com || "Friend to all women, lover to none"
I love that moment
I agree it is underrated since it deserves a statue in front of the Rose Garden, it was so awesome.

“Rebecca is under the table” or something to that effect during the game

and she was looking for her purse or something under the table where they were broadcasting the game, and Rice said live, on air that rebecca was under the table lol

When he jacked the soda from the locker room and got it taken away hahaha
Josh || BlazersEdge.com || "Friend to all women, lover to none"
Ben with the hilarious report
To protect the guilty I’ll leave names out of this vignette but it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in the Blazers locker room over the past 13 months. A media member was in the locker room stuffing a can of Coke into a travel bag. A high-ranking Blazers management official saw the media member doing this and looked at me incredulously, as if to silently say “Did this media member just pocket a Coke from the team supply?” Rather than let it go, this management official called out the media member and jokingly asked if the whole bag was being filled with stolen soda. The management official then left the locker room and, shortly thereafter, a higher ranking management official came back, pretending to be in a huff, and opened up the media member’s bag to reveal the soda. This mangement official then reclaimed the soda, cracking jokes along the way. At this point, I couldn’t help it and busted out laughing, probably ruining a nearby television interview with LaMarcus Aldridge. This did not faze the management official or slow the gag in the slightest. The management official, against the media member’s protests, then placed the purloined soda back in the players’ refrigerator and exited the locker room. Shortly thereafter, the media member, with a head shake, once again took back the soda back and exited the locker room..

Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
my point was more that Ginobili, Wade, Roy, and Kobe are all fantastic, elite, incredible players.
Rip Hamilton is pretty good. It was befuddling to throw him in.
proud hinrichsheeple
at what? Check the stats… Ginobili is one of the top twenty players in the league by most metrics.

Roy, Wade, Kobe, Ginobili have PERs greater than 23. Rip’s is under 17. That’s a large gap.

It wasn't much
Twiggs said she saw some Blazers at a strip club last year and I guess some folks freaked out over it. Everyone else was just talking about the move The Hangover and sharing a few bachelor party stories. After that it went off topic and folks were talking about their favorite childhood memories from Sunday school. Maybe it’s a case of separation of church and BEdge.

hmm, this could be a good philosophical point of debate
what is the goal of the JD?

i would think
it’s a place to put OT stuff, so it doesn’t clog up other topics.

that’s useful and worthwhile.

shooting the breeze can definitely be worthwhile….otherwise we wouldn’t do it.

but what is "worth reading"?
Slippery slope considering we are all just Blazer fans, and none of us are in a position to make any decisions. Isn’t all we are doing here (trade ideas, roster moves, etc.) pointless?
Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
I'll take the liberty of posting what Dave sent via email:
1. One good rule might be that a junk drawer topic also has to be able to stand like any other topic in a Fanpost. It need not be related to basketball but it needs to be site-appropriate to the point where you wouldn’t be embarrassed to see it on the front page emblazoned in the title. “Peas or Carrots: Which is Better?” could probably stand on its own if we allowed it to. “Which Portland Strip Clubs Are Best” would probably get deleted. So it should probably get deleted even in the Junk Drawer. The JD is not a haven for inappropriate topics, it’s a gathering place for legitimate off-topic material.

Trying not to get banned from the internets
What I mean is that the JD yesterday didn’t break any of the rules. No swearing, no ad hominem, etc.., and yet over 1000 comments get deleted the JUNK drawer has adults conversing about their bachelor parties? I understand that this is a sports blog and all, but there is also a community of quasi friends that along bantering. If that part of the site is gone, I for one have little interest in it during the off season. I’m disappointed that this is where things are going. What’s worse is, this comment isn’t even supposed to be published, since it’s about the mods.
Trying not to get banned from the internets
it was a tricky call, I admit. You'll notice I posted in the drawer for most of the day myself
BE is absolutely about leniency and having friends and community—no question. Just talking about strippers for an entire thread crossed the line of what is proper conversation.
That is all. The thread has not been “deleted” per se, although it has been hidden.

I think the reason the JD was deleted
was because users were complaining about it. If there had been no flagging or complaining about that JD, I’m not sure it would be gone. But since there were users on this site that mentioned they were uncomfortable with it, it raised red flags and the mods were forced to take action. At least, that’s what I think went down.

"COOL PEOPLE" JD HERE!
Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
There are a lot more kid BEdgers than you might initially guess
(somebody poll it up in a future JD just so that we have an idea)
Making this a welcoming place to Blazer fans of all ages seems to be the overarching goal of all of the conversational rules. This is a stricter standard than simply “don’t swear”. A discussion about places for a adult entertainment doesn’t seem like a very appropriate topic in settings where a 12 yr old can wander in unannounced, especially if his Mom happens to walk behind him while he is reading about it.
Let me just start by apologizing for putting that JD on a slippery slope...
and I totally get that you had to do what you had to do. But I skip over talks about feminism, peoples beefs, stuff about star trek, and tons of other stuff every time I come on here. They can skim over some fairly lighthearted talk about strippers.
And I get it, it’s tough to moderate and I posted a topic that was borderline and had potential to slide further. But I seem to remember Dave saying that he wants the feel of this site to be much like a bunch of people hanging around a sports bar and chatting it up. So if you’re not into crazy kinky fetish joints or chat rooms, where are you supposed to talk about bachelor party plans.
I mean honestly, the point of that JD was that my buddies and I were coming up with ideas and I figured, “What the heck, why stick to asking a bunch of Salemites about how to have a good time in Portland when I could pose the question to thousands of Portlanders that are scouring the streets for fun every day.”
I also get that the post was pretty much there for my purposes only, so it might have come off even worse looking like a self centered borderline post. And for that I apologize, maybe I just should have slipped a comment into the JD rather than created a whole drunk drawer based on it so the title Bachelor Party Ideas wasn’t sitting at the top of the page. So for that I do apologize. I just figured I would get a lot more readers and a lot better ideas by making it the point of the junk drawer. And I also thought people would have some fun talking about it, which many did.
But alas, we’re a society that is very uncomfortable with sex. And with the booming readership these days, I understand that maybe we need to clean up the act a little (Conan moving closer to prime time.) I’m just a little disappointed because people actually did give me some great ideas and I was gonna come back tonight after picking my sister up from the airport and jot those ideas down to formulate a game plan for the night. And despite what you say about just hiding it, it’s gone. None of the links to it work, so I have no access, and therefore it’s gone.
So whatever, it’s no big deal and I’m not gonna start a mutiny or anything crazy like that. I get it, BE doesn’t need a post about bachelor parties to be the first thing people see in the sidebar. I’m just let down that I can’t have my midnight planning session.
Also, thanks to everyone that did give me great ideas. I can at least remember the gist of most of them. I’ll put that ideas to good use and knock one back for each one of you that helped me with my planning. Cheers!

Your post was what a JD is about
The author gives a topic, and people can chose to ignore it or discuss it.
by Sabonis4Ever on Jun 10, 2009 1:00 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, that's what I thought
But most people can’t stand talk about sex whatsoever. And I think the main point was that the bachelor party headline was flying like a bright red flag atop the sidebar all day long and people didn’t want that to be what BE was all about.
So whatever, I don’t post here that often, I mostly just come in and try to devour whatever info I can from this site when I have the time. So site discussion boundaries really don’t bother me that much. Most of the time by the time I’ve read through everything in a topic it’s been hit from every angle and there’s nothing left to be said. So I was kind of having fun seeing that I was hitting a new angle and some people were taking the ball and rolling with it.
I hope no one thought I was being trollish or anything though. I just thought it was a fun topic and I really did get a lot of great ideas out of it.
it was a really funny JD
at least it made my morning at work, reading through the anecdotes of BEdgers (judging by their expertise, there’s a high chance you find TiH or twiggs in your stag night). Hope you have a great time.

Will do... I'm curious
didn’t have an opportunity to visit yesterday and missed what appeared to be a HoF edition of the JD. By who else nonetheless?
From what I’m reading tho about it, I have some concerns. Were site rules violated? Was this simply a judgement call? The JD has always been about off-topic material designed to keeping basketball related fanposts from being saturated with non-basketball related goofiness. I’m all for taking out the trolls and rule-breakers, but to penalize the author via cencorship seems off-base.
As JDRCC Chairman, having been given no opportunity for input, I must protest. I will review the facts and then send my respectful thoughts to the mean old mods just to opine.
Frankly, I thought TiHa was impervious to such cencorship. ooops, I gotta wait.

Most my stuff if it’s leaning over the line just gets deleted. Maybe if they did that, they would have had to delete most of the Junk Drawer, so that’s what they did.
Yesterday's JD was not obscene--it was pretty tame.
I think the issue was the entire topic and tone—probably 1000 comments, and the title, all centered on Portland strip clubs and bachelor parties for the most part. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t want my mom to read, but it was the polar opposite of what Dave is trying to do here.
There may have been some specific, crazy comments that were deleted, but for the most part, not bad. Even Blazerfan1 wasn’t really offended (I don’t think), so it seemed to pass the Sophiometer.

Yeah, it really wasn't a big deal. Your points about deleting it made sense.
Although I was kinda tempted to post some angry tirade filled with as many cuss words as I could plausibly fit into one post just so I could go out in a blaze of glory. I wasn’t actually mad at all, but everyone loves a good martyr once in a while, and that would’ve been the perfect opportunity. But I’m sure I had caused enough headaches for you mods for one day, so I stuck to a responsible post and just watched some George Carlin before I went to sleep instead.

Convince one of your friends to get into it
that way you can go watch some episodes with him from time to time. I got one of my buddies into it and since I already knew what was going on in the show I proposed that we play a Wire drinking game over one episode. The game was simple, drink every time someone cusses, and finish your beer anytime Clay Davis drops his classic. Needless to say we were both fairly belligerent by the end of one episode, they cuss a lot.
Other than that, just take joy in watching wire characters showing up in random roles in other TV shows and movies. Like when McNulty was in 300 and everyone cheered when he died, my buddy and I booed as loud as we could to try to save McNultie’s honor.
the best Wire scene
is where McNulty and Bunk investigate the murder using only variations of the F word.
Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
Yep
a good second best is when McNulty is driving drunk and rams his car into a pillar, gets out, surveys the corner, backs up, tries it again, same result, backs up, treis it again, and finally makes it.
The best part might have been that it had nothing to do with the episode. They just wanted to show that McNulty was getting hammered again.
For all of you stat geeks like me, here's a fantasy box score that Dave Berri would love.

the real question is
how did you do on True Hoop’s stat geek smack down?
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Even my answer to that question is "better than Ben".
The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr.
a stab
Dave Berri is the WOW guy who values rebounding quite a bit so the fact that a dude like Othella Harrington is the player of the game would be heart warming over chuckers like Spre, Houston, and Davis.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
That's good enough for me.
You’re 100% that Dave Berri is the Wages of Wins guy who has a figurative hard-on for rebounding — which isn’t necessarily a negative thing, except for the fact that he overvalues defensive rebounds in comparison to offensive rebounds — so kudos there.
I wouldn’t exactly call Allan Houston a chucker, though, but Latrell Sprewell and Baron Davis certainly fit the bill.

OK Prez...
Obviously I don’t want to add any negativity to this JD but I am curious as well as to what exactly the point of the JD is then, if not off topic stuff. As S4E and Kobestoppa have stated, the conversation about strippers and strip clubs did not break any of the rules. If someone is uncomfortable with strippers, maybe they shouldn’t click on a link that the title states Bachelor Party ideas. I mean, I get it a little. The JD should not make someone feel like they are not included or cross the line, but there were not any things discussed or any pictures shown that crossed that line. If we can’t post adult conversation (seeing as if most of us are adults) than I don’t really understand the point of even having a junk drawer.
Tom and I had to read thousands of comments about politics around election time and nothing was ever done about that. I hate politics, and don’t feel that it should be posted on a sports blog. But I dealt with it (while getting crap from some people about my lack of enthusiasm about the conversation). The posting about racism during the olympics, while an important topic, created some controversy and heated debating and that never got deleted.
Basically what I am saying, is you cannot, nor will not, please everybody on here. With thousands of posters everyday, something is bound to offend someone. And I just don’t see how a conversation that is getting 9 out of 10 people involved needs to be deleted, There were no pictures posted of strippers, there were no “detailed” descriptions on what has been done to people and if I have to spend my offseason not being able to have ADULT conversations on this site than I don’t see why we even have a junk drawer.
Oh, and I am EXTREMELY OFFENDED that I have zero votes. Doesn’t anyone <3 me anymore? Sheesh.

Whitney Houston ruined that song
The song, it should always remember, was written for a musical, and sung in said musical by a hooker.

Your Insurance company is not, "on your side"
your are not, “in good hands”.
they are not, “your good neighbor”.
The JD seems like the perfect place for me to get this off my chest. I work in the auto repair industry, and I see everyday how every insurance company out there screws over their policy holders when it comes time for them to file a claim. And it doesn’t matter if they have been with the same company for 30 years, paying their premiums on time each month, when they get into an accident, their insurance’s goal is not to be a good neighbor, or be on your side, it is to fix the vehicle and cheaply as possible, then deal with any complaints the policy holder might have. Want examples?
A customer runs over something in the road, causing a puncture in the gas tank of their 2004 F-150 causing the gas to leak out all of ther road way. The customer has the vehicle towed to my repair shop, where the insurance agrees to pay for a new fuel tank, but they won’t agree to pay to replace any of the fuel that leaked out! We are talking about $5 worth of fuel, which is needed to not only start the truck so the owner can drive away, but also to start the truck so the computer can be reset and the truck can be road tested to make sure it is running correctly before the owner make the trip down to pick up their vehicle.
A customer is hit by another car in her 2008 Mustang, the drivers side rear quarter panel is crushed and needs to be replaced. The insurance company pays to replace the damaged panel, but refuses to pay to paint the fuel door cover which is located right in the middle of the panel. Without painted the fuel door to match the new paint, it sticks out like a sore thumb when the car is finished. The cost to paint that panel? $20.
Those are only two examples of recent amazingly stupid decisions made by two different insurance companies, and these are not high risk companies, it was Nationwide and Liberty Mutual. But they don’t just rip you off once you get to your repair facility after your accident. State Farm’s 1-800 claims service center is known for pressing you to go to their preferred shop, telling you it will cost you more to go to the shop you want, when infact no reputable shop would charge a customer a dime more than their insurance will pay without the customer requesting it. All-State will let your car sit for a week if you don’t go to one of their shops, just to annoy you, and hopefully make you go to their shop the next time you need repairs.
The reason they want you to go to their shops is because their shops will put cheaper parts on your car, they will fill your door panels with bondo instead of replaceing them to save money, and they charge a below market labor rate to the insurance company. On just a simple bumper replacement the insurance preferred shop will charge $200 or $300 less than the going rate you should get, and the value of that repair is far less for it. The cheaper parts crack and break easier, and don’t fit as well as the OEM parts. But the materials they use are just as cheap, to allow them to charge a below market rate to the insurance company, the repair facility has to use cheaper materials to repair your vehicle, materials such as the paint use to protect your vehicle from the weather. Cheaper paint fades sooner, chips easier, and generially looks worse than factory paint. They will say it is the same, but paint bought from Keystone or Dupont will not look the same or be as good as your factory refinish.
Here is my point, you pay for your insurance, when you have a claim make them pay to repair it correctly, don’t settle for less. While insurance companies will try and screw you to make a profit, they will normally give in if you put up a fight for your rights. If anyone here gets into an accident and wants advise or even wants me to fix their vehicle for them if they live in Portland/Vancouver just email me.
Think of it this way, how much money do you think you would make if you started a business that provided a service, the service was made mandatory by law, but you could charge whatever you wanted for the service, you could deny the service to anyone you felt was too high of a risk, and if you had to pay out on that service, you were able to pay only want you wanted to pay, instead of what it actually costs. Try $5.5 billion in 2008 or $5.32 billion in 2007 which led them to give their CEO an 82% raise. It is amazing how much money can be made when you stick to the little man.

As far as my OT: topic, The insurance industry as a whole, but specifically the auto insurance industry goal is to make money, and they are doing a great job at it according to their records. But what i take issue with is the way they treat their policy holders who make a claim, and even worse is how someone is treated when they make a claim against someone else’s insurance.
I will say this, the people I work with everyday who work for insurance companies are great people for the most part, the claims rep who comes out to look at someone’s car is almost always smart, careing, and very open about the process. Many of them are even good friends who I hang out with after work, golf with, watch MMA with, etc… Everyone of them will tell you that their company does somethings that rub them the wrong way, policies that are put in place that they feel are not fair, but they are required to uphold them.
If what I wrong offended anyone personally I am sorry that was not my intent, my day has already been crazy and like i said in the very first line, I needed to get something off my chest.

this is not the road we should be going down.
Trying not to get banned from the internets
I never said they were evil
What I am saying is that over my experience I have seen things, and watch auto insurance companies cut every corner they can to save money, even at the cost of the owner, when all they do is advertise how they are just there to help in a time of need. An auto accident is one of the most scary things someone can go through, even small ones realy give you a jolt. I don’t think it is fair or right for the insurance company to use that to their advantage to get someone to lose value on their investment by having it fixed cheaply, when they are intitled to more.

Insurance companies are scum.
Kaiser probably killed, or speeded up the death of my father-in-law back in 96 because of their reluctance to conduct further, semi-expensive testing into back pain. By the time they figured out it was cancer destroying most of his vital organs—10 months after the original symptoms, it was too late for treatment.
Sorry if some of you are employed by insurance companies. I job is a job, I guess. Every major insurance company has been sanctioned, fined or settled large amounts of money for systematically screwing their customers. Look at the business model: fewer dollars paid out on claims = profits. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how this drives day-to-day decisions for claimants.

encountered that has treated me worse than an insurance company is a warranty company. Even the company I work for which has a large warranty attached to its products sucks at it. Warranty companies are set up to look for reason to deny a warranty claim, at least the insurance company pays the claim, albiet at a lower cost then they should.

want to know an interesting fact about
towing companies. If your in an accident, and the police call the tow truck your bill will be 3 times as high than if you call the tow truck. It is called a police two and by law they have to charge a certin amount, eventhough that amount is 3 times more than the going rate!
I had a guy who wrecked his SUV on a Sunday, the police called for the tow, and he got it out of the tow yard on monday morning, not even 10 hours later. It cost him over $300 for the tow and storage, if he would have called himself it would have been just over $100.

I do disability insurance.
If I ever deny someone I get yelled at and accused of denying them so we can make more money.
Yeah right, like I loooove denying people disability insurance. It thrills me to add an extra couple hours to my day writing denial letters and such to keep up with all of the regulations we have to abide by. Trust me, I get why people say it, but for me it is nowhere near the truth.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
I get it
but answer me this, have you ever had to deny a claim because of a company policy which you felt, if you were the person filing the claim, should have been covered?
I don’t have any knowledge of disability insurance, or life insurance, or even medical insurance, (like I said above I have Kaiser and love it, while others hate it). My field of expert opinion is only auto insurance, and to me from what I know and have seen over 10 years in the business is companies that shortcut claims to save money, when they should do what they advertise, which is fix your car back to preloss condition.
Ben II Blazersedge.com || New to Blazers' Edge?
Yes.
I have had to deny people with serious disabilities because of what was written in their policy contract. It sucks and it makes me feel like crap. Keep in mind though, that the contract is not only written by our company but approved by their union/employer. So, it’s not all coming from the insurance end.
But yes, insurance can screw people over in all areas. I just don’t like the presumption that all insurance companies do it for money, because that’s not neccesarily true.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
ok I agree with everything you said there
accept your last night,
I just don’t like the presumption that all insurance companies do it for money, because that’s not neccesarily true.
I feel they do, everything they do is based on profits in my mind. When the insurance company made the contract with the union, why do you think they put it in the policy to deny this person you talked about?
The people who do the “dirty” work for insurance companies like yourself play no part in what I am accusing the company of doing. It is the CEO’s and top executives who answer only to share holders who want profits, they don’t answer to their policy holders, which is a crime. In my opinion, policy holders should be share holders.
Ben II Blazersedge.com || New to Blazers' Edge?
OK
I agree to an extent as well. But every company does something with profit as the main focus. Otherwise there would not be any succesful businesses in this country. I just don’t picture the executives of my company sitting around a desk evily conspiring on how to screw people out of benefits.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
I will agree to that as well
what I feel is much more likely is a bunch of executives sitting around a desk talking about how to increase profits, and during that discussion no one brings up how it will effect their policy holders property, which was insured by their company.
Ben II Blazersedge.com || New to Blazers' Edge?
Possibly.
Agree to disagree on other points then?
Please keep in mind I am coming from disability insurance, not auto insurance. I will not try to defend them in the slightest.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
agreed.
I don’t know much about the disability side of it. Just auto, so i will tend to agree to what you say about the disability side.

And people can screw insurance companies
I saw some video clips (ok, taken by insurance companies) of people who were getting disability payments and were no way disabled in real life. One guy who was getting disability because of back problems was caught putting a canoe on his car single handed. Guess it’s not all that hard to find a doctor who is willing to lie a little to get someone on disability. All those people who are screwing the insurance companies cause the rates for the honest people to rise.
EXACTLY.
We have investigations on some people. My company had a lady who lied for 5 years about having CANCER. She forged her medical documentation, lied to her family members. Now she owes the company like $300,000.00 or something. We learn about people like her in training. But it is so rare.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
People like her
make it hard on everyone else. I am not in favor or in anyway promoting the scaming of an insurance company, anymore than I would the scaming of an old lady who likes to buy stuff. Infact I have turned in a few scamers over the years who were trying to get their insurance to pay for vehicles that they bought wrecked.

I stand by my feelings. The very practice of mitigating risk for enormous profit irritates me.
Also – I feel no need to defend (or attack for that matter!) any profession – - all are full of hardworkers and buttheads in some proportion or another. Mine is no exception.
""..Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own . . . "
If treating their customers better made more money, I’m sure the insurance companies would do it. I don’t doubt that they have examined these possibilites thoroughly. If they pay less than what the customer feels is fair, 9 times out of 10 that customer will be disgruntled, but continue to pay their premiums. Occasionally that customer will be mad enough to leave. However they have saved enough on the first 9 customers that it doesn’t matter.
I don’t think they need to base their business on pleasing people…stuff happens in life that just won’t have a happy ending. The big business model actually benefits folks who would take advantage of an insurance company, also. Fraud would be much more dificult if decisions were made on a more local level. Allowing decisions to be made locally, unique to each case, would typically benefit the honest folks.

Just one more thing. When I say big business has examined all the possibilites and decided this is the best way to make money, it doesn’t mean it actually is. It is easy to think that big business must be making good BUSINESS decisions because they are huge and have lots of people using big spreadsheets and can pay for smart people. GM was big business, too.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
Heres the thing
Insurance companies have been around for a very very long time, most of them are over 100 years old. They are very smart, and very researched when they make decisions. So there is no doubt in my mind that they have documented proof that the way they currently do business makes the most profits, I will not argue that at all. What I am trying to get out there is this, these companies work for us! We pay them, not the other way around, so when we need them we shouldn’t be afraid to demand better service. You would be amazed at how many good people let themselves get walked all over by the insurance companies policies, and never say a word because they don’t want to cause trouble, in fear that their rates might go up, or that they might get dropped from their insurance altogether.

since Liberty Mutual’s advertising sogan right now is close to “doing the right thing”, when infact they do not do the right thing most of the time, at least when it comes to their auto insurance side of things. They are just as bad at not paying the going rate, using subpar parts, and trying to force people to go to their cheaper shops.

Was watching an Australian comedian with a friend who just returned from Australia.
It was funny, because the American audience didn’t know if they should laugh at times. It was on the “edge” for them.
We were cracking up because they were good jokes, whether or not the content was a bit vulgar and out there (ex: a really funny joke about forcibly sleeping with a gf’s mom…).
My friend told me how most Australians have this humor and are extremely vulgar everyday, things most Americans would cringe at.
Not that everything needs to be vulgar, but I don’t like how PC everything is. To me, the real question is “Is the content appropriate for the context?” I understand BEdge wants to be held to high standards, but the content seemed appropriate for the audience, especially considering how a lot of people in the thread participated.

(Leif’s is a local collision repair chain in Portland, whose “claim to fame” is that they aren’t in cahoots with insurers—if you believe their ads, all the competing body shops are secretly in bed with insurance companies. A matter on which I cannot express an informed opinion).
Many insurance companies have, it seems, a well-deserved reputation for being crooks.
OTOH, I’m amazed by the number of glass-repair shops who open adverstise on the radio about how they try and cheat the insurance company—“we’ll pay your deductible and take you out to dinner!”
I think talking about the Acrop is less controversial than talking about this particular topic…

The "pay your deductible" scam has amazed me.
Don’t people realize that whether you are scamming your insurance company yourself, or you are paying somebody to scam them, you are driving up your own rates? Ok, you save more individually by scamming somebody than the total portion of the rate increase that is passed on to you.
Honesty and personal responsibilty are slowly dying. Many folks are pushing towards a society where neither matter, yet when both are gone, so is society.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
I will say this about Leif's
he adversiting is the only thing out there right now trying to education consumers about the insurance industries practices. But that is the only good thing I have to say about his shop, the guy is a crook himself, he was kicked out of Hawaii for it, and is close to be kicked out of Oregon as well. Just google him and I am sure you will find out some interesting stories.
Oh and some inside info on the glass companies, what they do is try to get your insurance to pay for an OEM window, then they get you to agree to put a lower grade winshield into your car, (one that will chip and break much easier, but they fail to tell you that). The lower grade windshield is ofcourse much cheaper, allowing them to save your deductable and send you to dinner. However many times they are not able to do this, because insurance companies have become wise to their tactic and stopped paying for OEM windshields as easily.

Yeah
Usually there is a benefit waiting period or something, so if you die before your benefits are payable you might not be covered.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
of course
once you do get the payment from your insurance company, uncle sam needs his estate tax so you don’t get the full amount. (or so I’ve heard, I have not checked into it myself but if true that is even worse than what these insurance companies have done).
Ben II Blazersedge.com || New to Blazers' Edge?
Uh, no.
Insurance benefits are not taxable (directly)—if I name you as a beneficiary on a life policy, and then do you the favor of dying, you need not pay a dime of taxes on the proceeds.
If, on the other hand, I name my estate as beneficiary, name you as an heir in my will, and my estate is sufficiently large to be subject to estate taxes (it isn’t, by the way); then Uncle Sam gets a piece. (Moral. Don’t name your estate the beneficiary on a life insurance policy).

It's only taxable if it's employer paid.
If you have voluntary life or disability, you already pay taxes on it prior so you don’t have to once the benefit is paid.
"We believe" -Rudy Fernandez
I see how it works
but that doesn’t mean I agree with it.
What you are saying is that, if I, over my lifetime, do well for myself, pay my taxes and at the end have a large estate that I want to give to my children, the government gets a cut, (some say as high as 60%!) That is a double tax from where I sit and should be outlawed.
Ben II Blazersedge.com || New to Blazers' Edge?
"Double taxation" is a canard, in my opinion
There are many taxes that are paid based on pre-tax dollars; and there’s no difference between paying 10% to Peter and 10% to Paul, and paying 20% only to Paul. Saying that the first is “double taxation” has always seemed kind of silly—either way, you’re out 20%, regardless of whether or not one or two taxing authorities have their fingers in the pie.
I’ve always thought it silly that local taxes (property, income, and now sales tax to some extent) is deductable from the federal income tax—just lower the dang Federal rate, junk the deduction, and quit worrying about “double taxation”. It doesn’t matter.
Where the proper level of the estate tax ought to be, or if it exists, is an interesting debate—but I was merely stating the law as it exists; not endorsing it. FWIW, I’m for reducing estate taxes and corporate income taxes (at least below a certain level of income), but taxing the heck out of sufficiently high personal incomes.
But that’s a topic for another JD.

I had a ding in my windshield
the repair guy (this was in another state) told me they could tell the insurance company that there were two, and we could split the extra money. Uh, no thanks. The sad part is that the insurance company still called to check on the repair. I guess fake claims are really common.

She did indeed
She went in last week. They were doing a bunch of work on the nose and tear duct.
So far, so good. The stents in the nose have been removed, and she’s starting to feel normal again today (and can breathe fully for basically the first time). We’re hopeful that recovery continues to go smoothly.
The overall experience has been an adventure though. We’ve learned a lot about how to handle (and not handle) things through Kaiser.
(Thank you for asking! How’s the wife?)
Good luck to you both
I really hope her recovery goes smooth! And I entirely relate to how much you learn going through this type of experience.
My wife’s recovery is going well. We had one small setback with a tiny infection that put her back in the hospital for less than 2 days. Now we are just trying to deal with the fact that her medical insurance will not cover her wound care supplies, and we still have about 3-4 weeks of wound care to get through.

Idol, do they think she’s through the worst of it now?
Hopefully you can appeal about the wound care. Perhaps you can talk to your doctor, maybe it’s ok for them to stock you up in person?
Yeah, they do think she is through the worst of it. The wound care is extensive for a couple of weeks, so there is a small chance of infection or her developing an abscess if we don’t stay on top of it. But we have gotten really good about it, so I’ll bet we are in the clear.
We are appealing with the insurance group, AND the doctor said that we could come into the clinic and jack some supplies to help us a bit further. The worst of it is the 2in paper tape that costs 7$ a roll that lasts 2-3 days, but it all adds up so quickly.

Anybody ever thought about stealing art?
Just read an interesting article about it. Apparently only money laundering, drug trafficking, arms dealing and maybe human trafficking are more profitable crime sectors. And you don’t have to murder someone for it. It’s more like a smart crime, like in the Thomas Crown movies.
In 1969 someone stole Caravaggio’s “Birth of Christ” out of a church in Sicily. It has never been found.
In 1990 a museum in Boston got robbed. The thieves entered dressed as policemen, and left with 13 paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Manet, and Degas worth over 300 million. Never been found. Though the article says when sold illegally art only fetches about 10% of its true value since nobody can display it publicly.
In 2005 a group committed an almost perfect robbery in Stockholm, blocking the two entrance roads to a museum with burning cars so the police couldn’t come in quick, then just ripped one of Rembrandt’s self portraits and two Renoirs from the wall and escaped by boat. Must have been a scene like in a movie. Problem was that they hadn’t lined up a buyer and ultimately tried to sell it to a covered ops FBI agent.
In 1911 even the Mona Lisa got stolen for two years.
Some thieves are just holding the pieces hostage and ask the previous owner (when stolen out of a private house), museum or country for ransom. Others sell it underground as mentioned above. I would expect some rich guys in Japan, Arabia, and the US are sitting in front of real masterpieces in their living or hobby room :)

OK my two cents on the mod/censorship thing...
I’ve been a member of several on line communities and list serves that at one time or another were pretty important to me and they all self destructed. Some died a slow lingering death, some blew up in flames of trollish glory.
Here is what I think I’ve learned.
1. BE and any online community needs a critical mass of regular posters to be interesting and vital. Empty rooms have the stink of death.
2. The way to keep that critical mass is to have a clear focus of purpose for the community and to refuse to allow it’s focus to be lost or overwhelmed in meta discussion
3. Moderating is essential and tough
4. The fastest way to destroy an online community is to start acting like lawyers insisting that all rules be spelled out in detail by mods and then meta-litigating the mods decisions.
5. It seems a little anti american but for on line health a wee bit of authoritarianism is a doof thing.
6. It’s always better to piss off the few than the many.

There is always somebody that is going to be unhappy. There are always some folks that won’t complain, no matter how bad it gets. Taking advantage of the non-complainers in order to appease the un-happies is ultimately a dead end.
I’ve poked fun at the moderator idea, but only for the effect of rousing a guffaw, chortle, or snicker. This site belongs to somebody else, and they get to set the rules. Free speech and censorship don’t even come close to entering into the equation here. Free speech allows you to start your own site, not piss on somebody elses.
Rules are meaningless if the majority doesn’t agree with them. I’m pretty sure that the majority of folks agree with the rules here.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
I just think it's fun to pick on them
Knowing there there are now eight people instead of two that I gotta sneak potty and sex humor past makes the challenge all the more fun and exciting. Every superhero needs a nemesis. I like to think of myself as the Blazers and the moderators as the Lakers.
I’ve been tempted to cuss when I flag people because I’m not actually posting the cuss word. The problem is that I’ve just been flagging the people I don’t like, then say, “flagged as lame,” and stuff like that. I’ve been flagging the moderators too, so I don’t want to push my luck.
I appreciate your experiences
but on the other hand I think things like rules and moderators just show a failure of a system. I would be interested in seeing having something like a rating system for posts and comments might help steer the discussions and promote self regulation rather than having it imposed. I think the “rec” button is a good start, but I think it does not go far enough to tease out what is worthwhile.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I think ratings systems are tools for humans to use, not a substitute for humans. I'm sure though, that there
is more than one good way to run an online community and I’m equally sure that there is no perfect way.
This site is about the best online community I’ve seen, so I’m ok with stickin’ with what’s worked so far.
In my way of thinking
the mods are there to reflect the values and goals of the community, but what better way is there to define and refine those values and goals than having the community directly have input on them. In that sense moderators will always fail at that task as they have to take a guess at what those values and goals are rather than just have them spelled out rather plainly by looking at direct feedback from all users.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I don't think ratings would be good
People get upset when their fanposts don’t get recs. I think it would intimidate new users.
They might
or they might think about what would make their posts better, so that they achieved a better rating.

It is the offie
that is what cyclists call the offseason and by all admission it is getting a little staid around here.
Last year I tried to spice up the offie (is that going to catch on?) by doing an interview with TiH thinking it would be a fun thing and maybe something we could do more of, but no one read it. So I am going to repost it in the JD and see if it was just bad timing or if it is another one of my bad ideas (like offie) that should be put to rest

So...does anyone know if Apple has some kind of trade-in policy...
…in which I can give them my current laptop and upgrade to their new laptops? Mine is only two months old and they roll out the new, better ones for less than what I paid for! I’m very annoyed.
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
That is why you ask Norsktroll before you buy anything
maybe a work around is getting a good insurance policy (I have one through state farm) that covers your laptop against anything. Then you have an accident and upgrade/downprice.
I am not advocating anything, but merely distributing info.

The man says to the bartender, “I’ll bet you $100 my dog can talk.” The bartender takes the bet.

Now pay up and get outta here!” The man pays the bartender and they leave. He then says to the dog, “What the hell were you trying to pull back there??

I remember going to a Jesuit basketeering game
And I forget who they were playing, but I was with friends cheering for that team.
The Jesuit side starts chanting “Your parents work for us” and yelling crap about how poor the other team was. It made me angry and brought back middle school memories.
I was raised pretty poor, but my parents got us into ‘rich(er) kid’ schools in SW Portland. I have gotten in more fights about my family’s economic standing growing up than anything. It’s one of the stupidest things in the world for a kid to fight about, but aside from fights during athletic events they were pretty much the only thing I got in physical altercations over. It stopped in high school for various reasons.
All the kids from my middle school who got into Jesuit were the worst of the worst. The ones who failed at getting in and followed me to my school were failed at being horrible people. The Jesuit kids were the ones who would tease me about shopping at Goodwill.
I got recruited to transfer to Jesuit (despite my bad grades) because of baseball, but I refused it. The last thing I wanted was to be around an entire school of idiot spoiled rich kids. I had enough problems as it is.
I am deadset against raising my kids “rich” or letting them be anything but humbly aware that we are comfortable financially. Most of the problems in the world are caused by rich kids, and I ain’t making another problem.
Don’t worry, I know not everyone who went to Jesuit is bad. But there are an awful lot of worthless families there. I don’t care how bad the public schools get, I ain’t sending ’em there since I doubt it has changed.

I played football for Beaverton High School
That was one of the most intense rivalries that i have ever been a part of. There were some things done by students from one school to the other school that were a little “interesting.” Although, my favorite moment from back then was my senior year. We beat them 39 to 3. oh, that was nice….
I had an odd situation...
I played for Beaverton, but went to Merlo, the geek school, so i didn’t know a lot of people at Beaverton. Graduated in 2003. The pooping incident happened my senior year. You?
I went to a high school game in Harrisburg when I was in my mid-20's
And we got busted by the principal because two of my friends smoked a cigarette at halftime in the parking lot. He totally harassed us, asked us what school we went to and told some kid to call the sheriff because we were smoking on school grounds.
It was pretty neat, he did it from the bleachers. He smelled my friends when they walked past him to sit down. I think the youngest guy in our group was 22.
It is too bad that you had really the minority group of kids who go there cause you to feel such disdain for the rest.
That really is such a small percentage of kids who act like that that it makes me angry that they do because it IS what gives Jesuit a bad name. It is a terrible reflection on our school and our community and is embarrassing to top it all off. I do not consider myself extremely well off by any stretch of the imagination and none of my friends are either. So for those d-bags who make the rest of us look bad in the eyes of the public, I would like to say “Screw you” because we aren’t all like that.
I just think it is unfair for you to say “The last thing I wanted was to be around an entire school of idiot spoiled rich kids” because that would be like me saying, “Why would I want to go to a public school where I know a bunch of deadbeat druggies who don’t care about their future?” just because I know a few kids who I went to grade school with who turned out to be pot heads. Both are rash generalizations that don’t do any good for either party.
I am not trying to start an argument or anything at all because that is the last thing I want to do because arguing over something so trivial is frivolous at best. But I just don’t like seeing people make blanket statements about things when their experiences seem to be in small doses.

Growing up
I was around people who weren’t “rich” but were rich kids compared to me. I was reminded of it constantly. The worst of the worst were the ones who went to Jesuit.
It is unfair to say they are all like that, because they surely are not. But there is a much higher percentage of douche to normal kid there, and I’ve known lotsa preppy rich kids growing up.
The absolutism of my statements were from my high school perspective, but I still wouldn’t send a kid there. Too much anti-semitism, too much snobbery, too much kids acting like they earned something because they were raised spoiled.
My involvement with Jesuit kids never ended because of sports, so it wasn’t just a middle school thing.
Not eveyrone who went there is bad, of course. Not even close. But when you get a big group of rich kids who were raised spoiled, they’re gonna be idiots and I’d rather not be around that since my kids will technically count as rich kids. For a kid, it is an easy elitist trap to fall into.
I understand why you wouldn’t agree or like what I’ve said and that is okay. You might not want to send your kids to the public schools for the reasons you joked about and liked the ‘better’ education you got at a private school. I know I think that going to a private school offers many advantages that I would like to utilize for my own kids, but I am extremely wary of the culture of those schools.
It was quite a while ago when I was around high school kids daily, so things have probably changed. I will research it again once I got some kids. By the time my kids are that age, almsot 30 years will have passed, so things will be different.
About 10+ years ag though, the anti-semitism, racism, snobbery, and widespread elitism was too much for a high school Mortimer. But again, I agree 100% not everyone was like that and it is the bad ones ruining the image for the rest, but it’s a big enough packet of kids (and an influential group of families they are from) that leaves a bad taste in my mouth that still sours me on the school.
Mortimer
And please don't take my ranting as a slur against you personally
It doesn’t mean I automatically hate someone who went to that school or anything like that, but I had too many bad experiences growing up around that sort of crowd and wouldn’t want to put my kids around the same bad influences.
I don’t think someone being rich makes them bad, but I do think SPOILED rich kids are the ones who screw up the USA the most ;-)
Mortimer
Oh I don't take them personally at all.
Believe me, I have heard MUCH worse from people and said things have been stated to my face too, not over an internet message board. I would hope that I have spoken enough here on BE that you would not think of me as such a kid since I would like to think that I don’t fall into that category.
Believe me when I say that the anti-semitism that you speak of is the first of that I have heard before and does not exist at Jesuit anymore. And by no means is Jesuit the most culturally diverse school, but racism is not something that I saw exhibited in my four years. Again, I am sure that I may have missed something along the way but suffice to say, it still exists everywhere, not just at a high school. As for snobbery and widespread elitism, I can see that and clearly we can agree that it is that small group of kids who ruin it for the rest of us.
I am really not trying to sound preachy or annoying, I just get frustrated/sad when I hear negative things about a place that I enjoyed. I also am a firm believer in that your education is what you put in to it, so no I don’t think that I received a “better” education. I believe that one has equal opportunity to succeed at public or private institutions is they have the will and the drive.

Adding to Prez's comments
(It’s even an addendum to all the emails that were flying amongst mods last night, because it wasn’t mentioned.)
There are many people (male & female) who consider strip clubs to be demeaning to women. Even though the women who strip are there by choice it may not be their first choice of career. (We’ve all heard of the strippers who are going to law school on their strip club tips). Stripping is widely considered to be exploitation of women for the pleasure of men. Many men here were brought up in a culture of respect for women ; others were not. As BE mods we try to honor the high side of issues and deleting that junk drawer was not out of line with that thinking.
(Another reason the entire thread was deleted was because it would be too difficult, as someone mentioned above, to go through comment by comment evaluating each one. So unfortunately the baby went out with the bath water.)
Ergo, we should have

Well, I'd argue female exotic dancers use their sexuality to exploit their male customers financially.
All things considered, it’s a two-way street at gentlemen’s clubs. Men are exploiting women and women are exploiting men, so it’s unfair — as well as somewhat sexist — for you to judge the people who spend their money there without judging the employees work there.

What brands do people here enjoy? I’m not an aficionado by any means but if anyone is, would like to get a balance of taste and value. i’m sure we overpaid for these, $40/each but it was good….strong but not overbearing, and definitely smooth.

i instantly assimilated to the sleazy J.D. cuz i’m a perv at heart, :-) sorry about that. yesterday i just remember reading all kinds of jokes that could have been taken the wrong way, and flat out blunt speak/likely made up stuff that was there to shock people. what’s weird is that i still have the comments in my profile thingy. i don’t like that, i want them to disappear, so i can move on. i like the moderators, by and large, this place has exploded and i suppose it’s good to have extension of dave to reel in stuff that goes too OT. i dunno, there’s ways to allude to one’s own personal perviness without turning off puritanical know-it-alls i mean prudes, wholesome people, innocent youngins.
on a side note: last weekend or a few nights ago i had a BE dream, with tons of BE people there, the only faces i remember is sophia and mortimer, mortimer talked for a long time and i enjoyed listening to his story, i don’t remember what the hell it was about anymore, it was long and interesting though. and he had a noble essence in the dream, nothing like the hobo killer i’ve grown to admire here. can someone post a pic/link to prove this dream happened? since it involved BE it may have just been a JD i was viewing in 4-D that existed on the internet simultaneously?

…I had us (me and the new wife) introduced at the wedding reception to a tune by Basil Poledouris, from Conan the Barbarian. I like lotsa his scores.
Man, I’m drawing a blank. I like the LAST OF THE MOHICANS score, but everyone does. I’m trying to think of ones everyone doesn’t listen to…
You’re a good musician, whom do you like that scores films? It might remind me who I like!
M.
it's okay to like the good popular ones
L. berstein (not really just a film score composer) Stephen Sondheim, Scott Bradley, Max Steiner, Carl Staling, etc..
I do like John Williams, Danny Elfman, and some other well known heavy hitters, and then there are some one hit wonders (neil young in ‘deadman’), David Raskin who did “Laura” (i had to look up his name) Chaplin did a great job once he was able to record sound. The best scores (and their authors) are often unnoticed because they blend in so well with the film
"The problem with tweeners is that sometimes they’re exactly what you need to plug the hole and sometimes they are the hole."
-LaughingJon
I dunno who did it
But I remember liking the music for INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, very bombastic and loud and dramatic, which I like a lot.
One guy I never see mentioned is John Ottman, who is also a film editor, who usually works with Bryan Singer. I like the idea of a guy scoring music who also edits…
I listen to a lot of popular ones; Empire Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars score along with movie, the Raiders soundtrack, Batman, I know I like some Howard Shore and whoever James Cameron usually uses (is it Howard Shore?), uhhhh….
Music is one of the most important and underrated elements of a movie. It makes everything exponentially better.
Morty
inglorious basterds is out?
or did you catch at one of your hollywood schollywood parties
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Oh, yeah, I was bragging about it the other day
I got to see a special screening and meet Tarantino and stuff.
Yeah… we’re good friends now.
It was a cool movie. Better than I worried it would be (I thought Death Proof and Kill Bill volume 2 were fine but too indulgent and not up to his previously established standards).
The score is very Spaghetti Westerns inspired.
M.
It has all of these comedian types in it
which seems kind of weird
it may be a bit rough for me as I am now sensitive to violence.
I am watching Eastern Promises right now and it is rough.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Biggest complaint
Is that the Inglorious Basters are hardly in the movie, compared to the other storylines. They were the best part (though I am sure there are people who will disagree).
It is very violent when it is violent, so yeah… some won’t like that. But it is over the top, and therefore awesome.
I wanna see it again; it wasn’t perfect but had a lotta great moments.
Mortim
I'll catch it around christmas
when it is in the dollar theatre

i like that r. rodriguez usually scores and edits his own films
what does he say, “shot, chopped, and …?”
"The problem with tweeners is that sometimes they’re exactly what you need to plug the hole and sometimes they are the hole."
-LaughingJon
Scored!
Shot, chopped, and scored by Robert Rodriguez.
I always wonder what he could do with a good script, since I think he is a very mediocre and lazy writer, but a good visualist and stylist. I always enjoy watching his movies, but they could always be MORE.
I liked Planet Terror though.

Great. Especially the cello suite. Matthew had to play at another rectial at the same time but he showed up at the end, not sure how much of hit he caught.
It was cool to see/play all of the music I’ve been preparing for a year. I even wrote a little bagatelle for flute and guitar that i played on at the end as sort of a musical sorbet. And the singers and pianist did a really fine job on the cycle as well. My parents showed up, my instructor showed up, and it was recorded, so i’lll be able to relive every mistake :-) j/k.

Thursday and Saturday.
I don’t know if you got the update, but girl #3 emailed me on Sunday and wanted to meet up (no mention of that bbq in her email so I don’t think she saw me), then girl #1 emailed me yesterday basically saying she was taken now. So, I still have two dates upcoming, but stuff has changed since you left for Vegas. I also ran into girl #2 on Sunday and we chatted for a bit which was nice.
wow crazy....
how did the chat go with girl #2? and how on earth are you running into these folks?
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
Chat with #2 went pretty well. Sunday there was an outdoor Jewish festival/party in SF so it wasn't shocking I ran into her there.
The friend’s bbq encounter was much more of an unlikely coincidence.
nice, so what do you have on tap for thurs and sat...
i would think a longer date is in order for #2 since you already chatted her up
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
coffee with #2 on Thurs was already scheduled, though I agree a longer date would make sense. We'll see how it goes.
Lunch with #3 on Saturday.
sounds fun...let us know if you need anything...like Prez sitting in the bushes recording with his Flip Camera...
even if you don’t need anything from us be prepared for these questions:
1. are you seeing other speed daters?
2. so how come you decided to go on a speed date?
3. how come you check me on the list?
prepared for next steps:
1. ask her out again this weekend if thurs. ask her anyways even if you didn’t think the coffee went well. what you think and what she thinks might be totally different so just go for it and peel that onion
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
dang, how did you know?! I just got my Flip Camera last weekend.
Already shipped it off to my….uhhh…..partner in crime….in Canada though

Only thing worse than being coachless is having a retread
BUT, I trust Petrie, and I’m sure it’s the right guy for right now and someone else can take over and be THE MAN once the team is ready for it.
I don’t have a lot of faith in the Hawes/Thompson frontline. If I was LMA or Oden (and who says that I am not?) I would be licking my meaty chops at that idea.
They’re in a better position than we were when we were the worst team, so it won’t be so bad.
M.
One problem was that they only offered < $2 million, which is a lot but not that much for experienced head coaches so a number of candidates quickly said no. Eddie Jordan went to Philly. Hopefully they get some great assistants around him, and give one of those the chance to develop.
I don’t think Westphal is a bad choice, he comes with a good track record (over .600 winning, which would be a dream for the Kings) and has worked successfully even with big stars. What kind of All-Star coaches can the Kings attract for that money with that roster? But e.g. Kevin Pelton thinks he was bad for Seattle, so I don’t have a strong opinion in either direction regarding Westphal.
Yeah, that is Vinny Del Negro money
NO ONE worth getting and keeping for the long term (at least, that you KNOW is worth it) will take that deal.
Eddie Jordan seemed like the perfectest choice for them, so I was bummed they didn’t get him. That’s a dude who seems like he would fit well with Petrie’s offensive minded choices.
Right now, of course, the problem with them isn’t bad kids or a need for better coaching (like we had), it’s they need talent. REAL talent, not one dimensional Kevin Martin or so-so at their ceiling like Thompson or Hawes. Like, they can be good, but not one of the BEST, so they need a lot more to go with them. SUPERSTARS.
Who they get to coach almost doesn’t matter, as long as Petrie surrounds the staff with development guys.
I know they love Martin, but until he does something other than score, he is by default a co-star. They got good pieces but no centerpiece. Until they have one, they’ll be overrating a young core and spinning their wheels… but I’m sure Petrie knows that. Good pieces can lead to something better, and maybe Rubio falls to them, but it’s gonna take a few drafts of niceness before they are back to mediocre.

Does anyone have some excellent advice on writing resumes
I feel like it is the most daunting task I ever have to do. I need some helps.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
limit to one page. and in the Hobbies Section, just put: Go Blazers if you are applying locally
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
that is amateur stuff
I dont have any room for hobbies on my resumes
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
really? i look at about 40 resumes a day and those without any hobbies/interest outside of work seem too contrive for me
those that stick to this outline seem to work for our company (succinct and specific):
objective (one sentence that should be specific about you and the position)
profile (4 bullet point highlights of your career)
experience (details)
education/certifications
hobbies/interest (tells you have a life)
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
that is interesting
It just seems that my hobbies are really superfluous.
Also, what is your opinion on writing an objective when you are gearing your resume to a specific job rather than just giving a resume to HR?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
i guess hobby is the wrong word...i say Interest/Activities...
so if you were applying for a marketing position, and you label your interest/activities as DMA Member, CMO Roundtable, and passion for 19th century literature…those things support your overall experience and “love” for what you do. if it’s superfluous, don’t put it down.
always put an objective. if you don’t, that means you didn’t take the time to research the position regardless of who you sent it to you.
so let’s say you are applying for a Operations Manager position:
i would put in my objectives:
Solid track record of success leading operations, managing technologies, and turnarounds. Skilled at improving under-performing areas, including product deliveries, client-services, and team output. Looking to expand my experience to meet objective of Operations Manager position.
something like that…tie it to the position
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
the last 4
seem more like profile pieces than an objective.
wouldnt an objective have more to do with why I want the job?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I try to tie the objective to what I want to accomplish while in the job

yeah and since it's technical you are looking for, replace Interest/Activites with Qualifications
and just list out all the technical competencies
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
not necessarily...i tend to view them as how do you meet objectives of the position
but not why you want the job.
that’s probably not the best example.
most people go with “seeking the operations manager position that will enhance my skills and contribute to a team.” tells us why, but not much correlation or depth.
you know what i mean though…
profile pieces would be:
1. manage 4 team members to deliver project x,y,z on time for IBM
2. increase server uptime by 20% through efficiency load balancing of servers
3. customer and team satisfaction were in the 98 percentile throughout two fiscal years
4. demonstrated ability to work cross functionally by working directly with technical team as well as end customer support
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
It also sounds like you are in some sort of software based
technical field, and I am applying for technical types of jobs, and you think the hobbies are important?
Sorry I called you an amateur. You seem to know what you are talking about.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
yeah, Enterprise SaaS
hahaha np, i’m not an expert in any field, but amateur in all…so you are correct.
read above, i say hobbies is the wrong word but especially in the technical field and knowing our dev, production, tech support teams, they would want to know what your interests are…a lot of people can work in the technical field because those things can be learned, it’s just a matter if they can work with your personality too.
they will figure that out in the interview but you need to get pass the screeners which are usually HR people who look for overall consistency of your resume to the position…and interest/activities are one of them that is added to the "depth of the person.

One thing that helps quite a bit is if you can make things active and quantifiable in your experience
Situation, Action, Result. But I’m sure that’s on all resume writing tips.
Also at the moment I guess people are not really looking into hiring support functions. So it helps if you can show that you have either developed or sold something which are the ends of the spectrum all companies care about. You are a sales guy who can also do some marketing/PR? Excellent. You are a software developer who can manage a project on the side to assure quality and costs are met? Very good. And as corny as it sounds, people who indicate they are not afraid to work a little longer and harder surely have better chances, though explaining your work style in a convincing way is easier to demonstrate in an interview than on a resume.
very good points...and make sure your formatting looks really good...
resumes with 60pt font with your name, then 10 pt font body copy gets thrown in the garbage

Can I tell this joke?
There is this couple that always says they are “doing the laundry,” when they make sweet love, so that their kids won’t know what they are talking about. One evening in bed the husband says, “Honey would you like to do the laundry?” She declines an he rolls over. After a while she feels bad and tells him she would like to do the laundry and he says, “No thanks, it was a small load, so I did it by hand.”

This is kind of OT, but does anyone have AT&T DSL internet access?
We are moving in a few weeks, and I am taking this opportunity to change my whole media stream lineup…currently have cable internet + digital cable.

Yeah telcos have been ramping up DSL to keep up with the cable companies
3.0 and 6.0 are no longer uncommon, and they’re trying to increase past that.
I’m stuck at 3.0 here.
With VDSL you can achieve 20 MBps downstream I think
But they try to bundle that with video channels here which I don’t need if I have cable. And we are still hopelessly behind Japan and South Korea anyway.

You also have to trust the cable companies
They seem to want to throttle your bandwidth and make you pay for separate internet services.
They’ve been very untrustworthy so far.
".....make you pay for separate internet services."

by 92wastheyear on Jun 10, 2009 3:58 PM PDT up reply actions
It was meant as a short comment about what they seem to be aiming for
First, the monthly cap as you noted (which is especially a problem as streaming video ramps up).
Second, the net neutrality concerns (ie. “If you use the [insert cable company here] streaming site, it won’t count against your bandwidth, and it’ll load faster too”)
Third, the concerns that they’re open to the ESPN 360 concept, ie. that the ISP pays to have the a web site available, and quietly sticks it into the overall fees, turning it into a cable-tv version of the Internet.
Fourth, they limit your rights to your own connection. For example, servers are verboten unless it’s a business plan (non-business folks like to do server stuff too)
It’s been so bad recently, that when a rumor broke that a cable company was redirecting all DNS requests to their servers, preventing access to opendns and other servers, everyone just bought it as true… even though it turned out to be false.
There’s a few other concerns, but that’s just on my mind today.
Ok....those were the same things I was hearing
although Comcast has it’s own take on network management I’m sure. I was just fuzzy on the one phrase i quoted from you. Thanks for the reply

No prob.
Also, you’re correct, it’s a safe bet that Comcast (and Time Warner, etc) see things very differently in terms of network management. I disagree with them, but it’s reasonable they’d have a different viewpoint since they have different goals.
Comcast is usually example #1 for me on why competition is good.

Well, he's got the stats that translate to the pros
I just think his athleticism is way overrated and not nearly elite enough to compensate for his size, and that beasting lil’ college dudes just won’t work and he has very little actual skill.
BUT, he could develop skill, he seems to work hard, and has a good frame for a PF.
I am not horribly optimistic about his chances for being a star #1 pick, but he should be a Kenyon Martin type athletic guy. A good player.

I love how ESPN is making excuses for Kobe failing in the clutch last night
It’s hard to complain about the Lakers not getting any rest in the playoffs when the Magic have actually played more games this postseason…

Most overrated "clutch" player, ever
He is not very good in the clutch. Missing a FT is more the norm for him than not.
It is insane to listen to.

Simmons broke down his clutch numbers in his last column
something like 25% from the floor with the game on the line and 1 assist in the last 6 years

Haha, I missed that
I remember hearing some vague numbers a while ago, but I watch plenty of Lakers in the playoffs and during the season and Kobe is nowhere as good as Roy or Lebron or Wade or even Pierce in the clutch.
He turns it over, takes HORRIBLE 3’s (he’s in love with the DAGGER shot), misses FTs… he’s so overrated it is crazy to me.
The best argument for why Kobe is nowhere as good as MJ, is Kobe.
Morty
Here's the quote
Kobe’s reputation as a “killer” at the end of games remains overblown. The site www.82games.com just posted a study of game-winning shots from the last five-plus seasons (regular seasons and playoffs since the 2003-04 season) that revealed Kobe was shooting 14-for-56 (25 percent) with one assist and five turnovers, and made 12 of 15 free throws. So let’s say that was 70 possessions total, including Sunday night. … He only had one assist in nearly six years??? That’s why Orlando quadruple-teamed him in that spot. Kobe is a phenomenal streak shooter, and he has a real talent for catching fire with a lead and closing games out … but you can stop him in one-shot situations simply because he’s his own worst enemy. He wants to be a hero, he’s shooting it, and that’s that.

Best of Senator Clay Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4-QyAzY64&feature=related
That's exactly how I see it too
He says “I’m Kobe, I’m a huge tool and a poseur, I am THE MAN, so I gotta win this game alone just like MJ”. And then he blows it with bad shots.
If he just shot his average, he’d count as clutch. That’s what Jerry West always said about himself… “I’m not clutch, I just stay consistent” (or something like that). Guys whose productions dips WAY DOWN in the clutch are the opposite of clutch.

Yeah, and the fact that everyone in America knows he's not passing

This was why, during the Olympic finals
I was calling for coach K to remove Kobe from the game. Perhaps that’s a bit extreme, but I’d take LeBron or D-wade in the clutch over Kobe any day. Of course, the U.S.A. won with Kobe hitting a four-point play, but I can still safely claim they would have won even bigger without Kobe’s end of game hero-seeking.

Here's a question I hardly even know how to ask:
How does everyone “interface” or, um.. “participate” in the junk drawer? I find it hard to figure out what’s going on… which topics of conversation are done… which are on going, etc.
once you join, just start pressing z to find new comments
it’s also a good idea to know what the running jokes are before hand (ala the strip club references, S4E and Roybot, me scaring off G Love and Claire, etc.)

I prefer a combo of C and X, instead of Z
Because when people are adding comments as you press Z, sometimes you erase that new comment from being ‘new’ and you don’t realize it. Pressing C makes you go to the next new comment, and X marks it as an old comment for you without going to the next comment. Z does this both at once, which is handy, but annoying in a busy thread.
There is no trick to the junk drawer… see what is going on, add in your opinion, or start a new conversation.

Awesome Ben Gordon interview/podcast
http://www.blogabull.com/2009/6/10/905417/ben-gordon-pax-and-gar-are
What’s the over/under when he bails to OKC?
"Are you hearing anything on where you end up" "No!" "Do you know if the Bulls are interested?" "Uhm, no, I mean...kinda wait and see..."
The Bulls, where amazing contract negotiations happen
I dunno what the right answer is about Ben Gordon
Get him cheap, sure it’s nice, but you’ll always wanna upgrade that position. But what he does, he does well, so he IS worth good money…
he’s a conundrum. Brilliant scorer, but he can kill ball movement at times and is a defensive liability. But he’s such a good scorer…
proud hinrichsheeple
He's that sort of in-between player that screws with ya
Like David Lee. A PERFECT 6th man, but too good to be reasonably happy being a 6th man, and good numbers hide his flaws.
He tries on defense (Gordon), but he’s just too small and slow. No worse than a Michael Redd or something, but that isn’t a good thing.
He’s too good to lose for nothing but too not-good-enough to heavily invest in.
I’m glad it ain’t our problem. I’d just hope for a better option to present itself through the draft and stop making the playoffs for another year. Their 1st round was awesome, but a lottery pick would be sweeter right now!
Morty
But now the Bulls have a GM and a VP of something operations, and neither is telling BG "hey Ben, we really want you back"?
Sure they can disagree about price and years, but isn’t that a signal you want to send to one of your star players? It’s not like he is Aaron Gray.
Yeah, they're so weird
TALK with him, feel things out, or you’ll automatically lose hum for nuthin’.
And he has flaws, but he has real value too. He could get you something you really want, since some teams need a good scorer (including the Bulls).
Last year, lotsa Bulls fans I talked with were scared of the thought of offense without Gordon, but I said someone else would come along. I still feel that way, but you cna’t lose him for NOTHING.
I really hope he goes to OKC. Talk about an interesting defensive combo at the wings: Durant/Gordon FTW

Timmay, or any tech-savvy Bedgers, can you give me advice on a good external drive brand? I want a terabyte… any brands to avoid?
proud hinrichsheeple
I use Western Digital My Book, but most brands are fine
I like it because it’s quiet and looks good :) And none has failed on me so far. They also have portable drives if that’s what you need called My Passport. http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdus/DisplayHomePage
Other than that I mainly used Seagate and LaCie drives in the past. I wouldn’t go with no-name companies.
If you want major security and a lot of space, use Drobo and insert any OEM drives in there. http://www.drobo.com/ But that only gets interesting if you have several drives.
i suggest you go to slickdeals.net
and wait…every week there are awesome deals on closeout HDs. I bought a 250 gb drive over a year ago for about 14 bucks when retail was well over 100.
Senior Asian ambassador of Blazers Edge
by Philthyanimal on Jun 10, 2009 6:35 PM PDT up reply actions
I agree with the folks above me.
You’ve got a fairly similar chance of failure across brands. Good deals show up regularly.
One thing, if you want a 1tb external drive, make sure it’s a single drive inside. Some companies put two 500gb drives inside and pass it as 1tb. That’s bad, because it doubles the chance of failure. These boxes are twice the size of a normal external drive (which looks like a small case around a desktop drive), and they’ll usually mark it right on the box. It would usually be noted in reviews.
Newegg has the Western Digital model for 109.99 with free shipping, USB interface only, single drive, with good reviews.
As an alternative, have you considered just buying a case for a hard drive, then getting a hard disk of your choosing? For example:
- Hitatchi 1TB internal SATA drive for 74.99, free shipping.
- Vantec external hard drive enclosure with both USB and eSATA interface, 39.98.
$40 is actually expensive though. There are cheaper enclosures too… And they have lots of reviews to help you make a call. If you just need USB, for example, they are cheaper. The advantage here is that it’s easy to put a bigger drive into the case a year from now.

Is former short-term Blazer Randolph Childress somehow related to Josh Childress?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randolph_Childress
Trade history
Why do I ask? I don’t know. Mainly because he was involved in a trade with another (very) short-term Blazers, Shawn Respert, who we drafted at #8 in 1995 (just behind Damon and Sheed). Who struggled with being a point guard, but most of all because he developed stomach cancer in his rookie season according to ShamSports which caused fans to call him a bust since he told nobody. Sad story. But he survived and works now for the Rockets. In that same draft was also Monty Williams.
- 24th pick: Monty Williams (New York) – Williams was waived by the Magic in December 2003, and signed with Portland as an assistant coach two years later. He’s still there.

For those who missed it, Danny Granger's brother is on Wipeout tonight
Apparently he goes around and does reality shows as a career.
Word is, Shaq wants to do the show. I wouldn’t miss that.
what movie should I watch?
I feel like watching a “heist” type film.

It could be due to my sever laziness
and inability to write a convincing resume
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
My wife makes a good resume
I haven’t had to make a resume for a real adult job. I am no help.
Norsk and BuRP would be best, as you know and saw. They actually hire people and crap like a bunch of nerds.
I am fresh off a degree
so their advice was not so awesome
if I was in the business world and had job experience it would be good advice
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
They're jerks don't listen to them
What sort of job ya looking for?
I always lied on resumes.
But I am extremely immoral.
I just applied for a job
as an electrical engineer, photovoltaics technologist, and a chemist
I am actually none of those things
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Well that's your first problem
I dunno how to do those things and I imagine they are hard to fake.
What was your book learnin’ about?
that would be an unholy disaster
I am squeamish and not that much of a people person
How did you grow up poor if you mom was a doctor?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
She became a doctor when I was in college
She went back to school.
My dad was an unsuccessful lawyer, we moved around a lot. They both came from either dirt poor farming families, or criminal dirt poor families.
Now they are doing really well and built their own home with their own money and everything. They is smart, just got married and had kids young.
Me and my brother were born while my dad was in law school
I have no idea how they did it. He couldn’t get a good job with it, so we moved around a bunch.
Finally, when I was in middle school, he got his first decent job, but as a lobbyist, not a lawyer. He’s a real good talker and funny guy and persuasive.
He’s moved up the ranks and doing well as an evil lobbyist, my mama did undergrad and med school and residency and is now a fancy pant doctor.
She was a nurse for a little bit, back when that was only a year of school.
now I see
My family started poor and stayed poor
I am trying to carry on the tradition,
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
My parents broke a looooong line of poordom
You can do it too!
You’re a damn scientist, that is awesome, you’ll get something.
Yeah, SPACE bike shops
If more schooling IS the answer, is that an option? Or is school dead to you now.
my last stop did not go well
my advisor and I hated each other
I am getting over the emotional scarring
perhaps another masters in EE, but I would have to pay for it which sucks
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
If you can get the financial aid
AND it makes it much easier to get a good job AND you don’t have to deal with butt munches like your old adviser, it could be worth it.
Plus, colleged aged dames.
We will see
I hate being in debt and it is hard to get fin aid when you have a bachelors degree
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Can you be a teacher?
New Mexico prolly has a surplus of young students that move around a lot and need teachers.
I have thought about that
I just need to pass some tests in the fall and I would qualify
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
To my liberal arts useless degree having mind
It would seem like physics would getcha a rad job, but what do I know.
What job uses physics, besides awesome space scientist?
hard to say
I am slowly realizing that I should have toughed it out to get a Phd or become an engineer
physics is a bit of a red headed step child of math and engineering when it comes to finding work
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Then put the education in front of the job experience :)
And list extracurriculars, certifications, awards/publications/memberships, internships, …
If you are on a Mac, Pages also has a few good resume templates (especially regarding layout)

A Junk drawer topic parade
As everyone knows, is a fictional parade I just made up where future “new” junk drawer topics parade down the street for the enjoyment of people who wish to make a new junk drawer with a unique topic.

advice is welcome

You make it with that title first
Then re-edit it and make it the new title, and the first title becomes the “secret” only-in-the-URL-ttle.
I’ve never made a fanpost, ever, and I know this.
SACK UP AND MAKE A GD JD.

That doesn't sound likely
You’re really stretching and making a damn fool of yourself.
I feel sorry for your entire family.
I dunno :-(
So, judging from what the team is saying, Blake being at the PF, the shoulder injury, Paul’s finances… we probably aren’t going to make a big move. Which does suck.
I guess I should be happy with the team we have. I just really wanted a point guard.
proud hinrichsheeple
They're just setting ypu up
To knock your freaking socks off later.
We’re getting CP3, so just get used to it. We’ll draft him somehow because KP is JC.
I am hoping he is more like
Bill, Ted, Marty, Clark, or the guy with the scarf as they could actually pull that off

I don’t even need my freaking socks to be knocked off. I just want a good savvy vet that plays defense like Hinrich. HEAR ME PRITCHARD. PLEASE.

Good night everyone
thanks for an entertaining day
just not as entertaing as the day before
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Here's a story.
Last Sunday, as we were leaving Tuba City at 0900, we saw a tiny woman running in the direction of travel we were taking. She had a belt on that was draped and replete with everything a person could want in the desert if they were going to do a leisurely hike. Today, we left Goblin Valley Utah and decided to take a little bit different route headed back to the rental in Prescott, and at around 1100 we saw the same woman again, just southwest of Mexican Water. That’s about 112 miles people.
"Aneurysm".

I was in that area 2 weeks ago hiking
it was nice and rainy, but it must be wicked hot now
