I have bad luck with cell phones
the first 2 I’ve had just stopped working for no apparently reason. I’m very careful with my phones, I don’t drop them or abuse them, so I don’t know why those ones crapped out on me. I didn’t buy the optional service plan because I’m careful with phones and look what happens!

Tennis players get screwed.
James Blake, who is ranked 21st in the world right now, has made less than 500,000 this year in prize money and less than 7 million over his career. All to play a sport that Tommy Hass once described as torture.
I actually love tennis. It’s my favorite sport to play and one of my favorite to watch. I just couldn’t imagine doing it every day. Anyone have any predictions on the US Open?

Semifinals: Federer – Verdasco, Nadal – Murray, with a Federer-Murray final. I think Nadal is still not fully recovered and Murray has the upper hand (for now).
Man that verdasco nadal match at, what was it the aussie open?
That was the best match of the year imo.
Backcourt game - 24/7
Nah, Federer vs Roddick in the Wimbledon Final was better
5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14….
Federer was trying to get his 15th Grand Slam, Roddick played the match of his life to stay with Federer…

Roddick sure did play the match of his life, but the two left handed Spaniards dueling to the death was more fun for me to watch. Now the Wimbledon finals the previous year… That was a match to remember.

well yeah the 08 Wimbledon finals
is probably the best match ever. but my vote is still with the 09 Wimbledon finals as being the best match of the year just because of the circumstances + the 5th set was fantastic.

No love for Roddick?
Federer only broke him once in four hours in the finals at Wimbledon. To me, he looks like the best player in the world right now.
by Nick Van Excellent on Sep 3, 2009 1:13 AM PDT up reply actions
I like Andy, for sure. But he isn’t the best in the world. He looks a lot better since he faced the fact that he can’t win majors with his serve alone, but he simply doesn’t have the grace and foresight of Fed or the freakish athletic ability and funky left handed spin of Nadal.
Backcourt game - 24/7
Roddick is pretty good
i think it’ll be close between him and Verdasco. 50-50 call. Maybe with the backing of the crowd, Roddick has more chances. But there’s always an upset, and this could be it. Also Del Potro could spring a few surprises.
the Roddick-Verdasco match should be good (if it happens...)
of course it doesn’t mean much cause the winner still has to play Federer in the Semis :(

The NBA: Where amazingly bad officiating happens, is encouraged, and rewarded.
I had a Plymouth Sundance
I decided to never own another American car after that.
yeah now you go to sarcasm because u got owned
why?
my parents bought a second hand Buick Century when we lived in Mobile, first car I tried driving (thanks to the Auto gearbox). It was rolling with a tank. I think it used like 5 gallons just to start up.
One thing i don’t like about american cars is the lack of a manual gearbox. It’s the simplest thing, and people act like you need to be some sort of super driver to use it.
I find automatic more relaxing to drive. Not that manual shifting is difficult, but there are situations where it’s better to just focus on breaking and starting again (e.g. at steep roads or in city traffic). And modern gearboxes shift as fast as you can manually and at the right times to save some gas. If you want it more sporty and have an influence on it you can get a car with tiptronic at the steering wheel.
Some technology still taken for granted in most cars is incredibly outdated. You could save a lot of weight and make the car more secure by throwing out a lot of the metal driveway and powertrain and putting more electronics in. 95% of people can’t repair their own cars with a closed engine anyway and would have to bring it in or at worst get it towed to the next shop in case of trouble. If you want to screw around with it yourself you better buy a really really old car.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
I don't know if I have a preference
I’ve haven’t owned an automatic car since the ’80’s. I think I would want an automatic transmission if I live in a hilly city. Seems like every time I’d be stuck on an extremely steep hill in Seattle the guy behind me would stop within a half-meter from my car.
yeah now you go to sarcasm because u got owned
I had a 5-speed when I lived in San Francisco.
Starting on hills is no problem if you set the hand brake while you’re stopped and then release it as you slip the clutch.
I prefer manual transmission
except for traffic jams, where I prefer automatic transmissions, and that’s why I have an automatic in my current car. It’s a long way home from Hillsboro to the east side and it usually involves a little stop and go on the Banfield on the way home. – Elgin
Without you out there, we're nowhere here
i agree that
it may get tiresome during traffic jams, but I feel like I have more control over the car with a manual gearbox. Then again, I haven’t driven an automatic in a few years, so haven’t tried the new ones.
Tiptronic are those paddles behind the steering wheel to switch gears, a la F1? I think it’s a bit out of my range (I drive a ’00 Clio :-)
It was developed by Porsche and licensed to it’s affiliated companies like VW and Audi. BWM has it’s own version, and other manufacturers likely as well. It can be two buttons on the steering wheel, or something that looks like a mix between a regular and an automatic shift where you can just shift between 5 or 6 gears without pushing a pedal with your foot.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
It's a gimmick.
There’s no pleasure in “shifting” an auto tranny that way. There’s no control, challenge, feel, or connection to the car the way there is with a stick and clutch, no performance improvement, and the car shifts itself anyway if you hit the redline or drop the rpms below 600. It’s like “driving” a kiddy car that your father is pushing.
Plus sooner or later you’ll pull up to a stoplight, forget that you’re in Tiptronic mode, and when the light turns green, you’re hitting 6,000 rpm in first gear as you zoom off. I only use the Manumatic now for engine braking on downslopes.
I do agree that auto trannies are best in stop-and-go driving, especially if you’re driving a car with a heavy clutch.
Yeah, I’ve got it on my subaru… and it’s really only good for engine braking and accelerating off the line (the automatic shifts earlier than “sport” mode, so you can stay in the power curve a bit better/longer… I wouldn’t have gotten it if it hadn’t come standard as I rarely use it
by The Arkitect on Sep 3, 2009 10:22 AM PDT up reply actions
I like the Econ/Sport mode button on some auto trannies.
- Econ mode for regular driving, shifts early to keep rpms as low as possible to save gas.
- Sport mode shifts the tranny at higher rpms so you have more power on tap, fewer shifts, and more engine compression when decelerating.
I’ll take an Econ/Sport mode button ten times out of ten over a Tiptronic or Manumatic.
All right, here's my list of most attractive female celebrities based on age.
18-20: Alyson Michalka
21-24: Kaley Cuoco
25-29: Kristen Bell
30-34: Kate Hudson
35-39: Kate Beckinsale
40-44: Jennifer Aniston
45-49: Heather Locklear
50-54: Leeza Gibbons

60+: Cheryl Tiegs

I have a super big thing for Kaley after her 8 Simple Rules days.

Yeah, she was definitely cute on that show.
She’s blazin’ hot on The Big Bang Theory nowadays, too.
Regarding 8 Simple Rules …, Katey Sagal is in the top five for actresses aged 55 to 59 years old.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I think it's emphasised by Leonard's awkwardness and Sheldon's abillity to make me think of skeleton zombies.
Kate Segal is a hottie, plus she’s Lela.

Kate Hudson annoys me
I’d rather put Angelina Jolie in her spot.

The Angelina Jolie/Megan Fox look is overrated to me.
Heck, I’d argue that Brad Pitt traded down from Jennifer Aniston to Jolie.
I know I’m in the minority with those two opinions, though.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I would have picked someone else
She was the first one I googled that was in that age range. Hudson has done so many crappy movies that I don’t like looking at her. I found this and would put almost all of them above Hudson.
yeah now you go to sarcasm because u got owned
I've never heard of Charisma Carpenter, but damn is she smokin' hot.
At 39, Carpenter looks to me like a well-aged Maggie Gyllenhaal, 31, who finished second to Kate Hudson in the 30 to 34 age bracket.
Y’know, you couldn’t go wrong with either one.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
What is it about Maggie that makes her attractive?

Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yeah, I'll have to add Carpenter to my list of underrated/underappreciated hotties.
Pamela Adlon, 43, tops my list of underrated 40+ actresses, although Carpenter is still a year away from hitting the big four-zero.
The main reason that Adlon gets kudos in my book is threefold:
1. At 5’0", she’s a certifiable spinner; that’s hot in a “variety is the spice of life” way.
2. She has a cute, yet sultry MILF vibe goin’ for her, which brings an aura of sexiness.
3. Her Hollywood portfolio varies from the steamy, risqué Californication to voice work on King of the Hill.

Yeah, the problem with Jon Heder is he's most know for ...
being in Napoleon Dynamite. As much as I enjoyed that film a bunch, Heder was uglied up for the role. Normally, he’s just an average, run-of-the-mill looking guy like myself.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Nah, I look strikingly similar to Jon Heder.
I’d say both Heder and I are a 7 out of 10, too.
Anyhow, I did a side-by-side comparison once on here.

Awkward conversation
I’m in a conference call with about 6 people in Hawaii and about 6 more on the mainland to do a cut-over. Something isn’t working so there is a lot of conversations about nothing while they run tests.
Someone talked about putting up dry wall and then a guy said he hoped this would be over by 11:00 AM his time, because his kid in high school needed to go to tennis practice. Then some guys said, “I’m glad he has good high school memories. When I was in high school my step-dad told me I was a loser and would never amount to anything, so I become somewhat of an introvert and didn’t have any friends. I hated high school, so it’s good that your kid is getting all the good memories he can from high school. I didn’t have any.”
yeah now you go to sarcasm because u got owned
Maybe 35-45 seconds then someone asked if he went to high school in Hawaii
He’s got to be well over 50 years old and he said he went to school on the mainland, I think he said California. At that point, I had him on mute and me and another guy were saying, “OMG, this is turning into Oprah.”
yeah now you go to sarcasm because u got owned

What a joke of an article
http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_13256102?nclick_check=1 – A Minny journalist listing reasons why Rubio didn’t come over. And guess what, the buyout is not one of them.
I won’t say anything about the first two reasons, that supposed “family friend” or Navarro saying: “Hey, it’s not the promised land” (BTW, there are currently 6 players in the roster with varied NBA experience, not counting Calderon, so I think Rubio can have a pretty good overall idea). But the last one baffles me.
- Rubio’s own parents, common folks, really, who feared they would lose their social status if Ricky left the Spanish League for the NBA.
Truth be told, they liked the status of being the parents of Spain’s best-known basketball star (???? you mean Gasol). They liked the lifestyle, the place in society that went with it.
Lately there’s been quite a few interviews and related stuff about Rubio everywhere in Spanish media. I think i’ve seen their parents once, and it was in an in-depth piece about his everyday life. That’s all. This is pure fluff, propaganda.
The parents were probably not stoked to move 1 or both from the Spanish coast to the winter of Minnesota and reportedly don’t speak much English so it would have been difficult for the family since Ricky hardly would have lived alone, but “lack of status” back home was probably not a major reason.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
it’s not easy but you do it to fulfill your kid’s dream. I’m sure they would have the support of the entire organisation. But actually putting that as a reason…you gotta be kidding me. I can imagine Ricky’s mom: “Hey Ricky guess what, you’re not going to Minnesota cause they don’t know me at the local bakery. Nuh-uh.”
What’s worse is that people in Minny read this and actually believe this kind of crap.
Basketball Terms Explained and Simplified
Assist – When a player does something for another play. It comes from the word assistant.
Backcourt – A spare court that is kept in the back.
Example: When Paul Pierce dumped Gatorade on Coach Doc Rivers after winning the NBA championship, the TD Banknorth Garden had to replace the current court with the backcourt.
Baseline – A term taken from baseball when basketball used to have bases. The bases are no longer there but lines remain as an homage to the past. The baselines are any lines on the court.
Charging – The ability to use credit to buy things.
Example: "I need to file for bankruptcy after charging two hot dogs and a soda on my credit card at the Rose Garden."
Cylinder – The painted space in front of the basket which is shaped like a cylinder, also sometimes called "basket area."
Dead ball – A ball that is not fully inflated.
Defense – A counter move to the "picket fence play" where the team without the ball runs between the players with the ball. Similar to the children’s game called "Red Rover."
Double team – Two teams. All basketball games involve a double team as you need two teams to play the game. A single team can only practice.
Downcourt – When the backcourt is stored in the basement.
Draft – The beer sold in the concession stands at NBA games.
Dribble – After taking a drink from a squeeze bottle, a small amount of liquid does not make it into the athlete’s mouth. Safety is a concern so the sweat wiper uppers must always dry off any dribbles that hit the floor.
Dunk – When rookies are hazed, they are ritualistically hazed where they are thrown into a pool or tank of water and dipped or submerged into the water.
Fast break – A 20 second time out.
Field goal – The ultimate desire of every NBA player. When they retire, their likeness is carved into a field as a tribute to the player’s NBA accomplishments.
Flagrant foul – A foreign stinky player.
Foul – A stinky player.
Foul line – A baseline that very stinky players must stand on during time outs so that other players do not have to smell them.
Free-throw – When a foul player rubs his stink on another player, the other player is allowed one "free-throw" at the foul person. The foul player stands on the foul line and the other player throws a ball at him.
Frontcourt – The court in use that is set up in the arena with two baskets.
Jump-ball – A game NBA players play in their spare time trying to jump over the ball. The person who can jump the farthest without landing on the ball and falling is the winner.
Key – A device used by the first one to enter or exit the arena to unlock or lock the doors.
Layup – When a player gets injured and cannot play.
Post, high & low – A diversion tactic used to distract an opponent. A player gives a post card the defender and asks them to mail it. The location of the mailbox determines if it is a high post (mailbox in the rafters) or low post (mailbox in the basement).
Sidelines – The line the player gets into to check into the game. They are required to stand in alphabetical order until there is a stop in play.
Sixth man – The sixth player on the roster determined by alphabetical order.
Technical foul – A stinky player with an engineering degree.
Timeout – The time a player sits on the bench and not in the game.
Tip-off – When a player tells his opponent what play they will run next.
Traveling – What the "away team" does. They normally fly there.
Turnover – A snack eaten by most players after the game.

I missed the private detective line
The one that made me laugh was “Morty’s a lawyer and a real dick. No one can stand him.”
Ok, I was wonderin' what I missed
I thought my “Zo made Beasley a heroin addict” was similar to the “Mo made Oden hip check every PG he got switched onto” line of reasoning, and the worst thing I saw him say back was that I was owned.
And, of course, as soon as I got owned, it was time to go get the wife. So, I had to remain owned.
And then missed the rest I guess. DANGIT.
Oh and just so I know who my enemies are
Odenisgod said that line, no? Or does someone else hate me :-(
I wasn’t sure if I could use the word Dick twice in a week, so I used Private Detective instead.
And it wasn’t Odenisgod, it was someone else trying to lead him astray.

You better be careful. I have the heart of a champion.
“Heart of a champion” is always reason #1 why you prefer to draft white players.
No.
- The #1 reason I prefer white players is because they have way more hustle. Players of other nationalities are always standing around not being scrappy or tough.
- The #2 reason is white players have lots and lots of basketball IQ.
- The #3 reason is white players are really good in the locker room. Non-whites are always horsing around, giving noogies and whatnot.
- You bring up a good point with the “heart of a champion” thing. What color was John Havlicek? Nuf said.

Ok, the surgery itself went well. Much better than the vet expected. Got the whole mass out, was slightly attached to muscle but got it off, etc. She sewed up good and was good under knock-out gas.
BUT… after she woke up again, both of her back legs wouldn’t really work. She buckles when she tries to stand. Her tail was stiff too. They kept her overnight, and did x-rays and stuff this morning to see if she had a pre-existing back problem, or a slipped disc, etc. The x-rays showed her back is perfect, and no arthritis. She also still has feeling in her tail and her toes, and reacts when they pinch them. So, the doc guesses it is a blood clot… which isn’t a normal concern for dogs.
He’s doing some more tests and things for free, but right now Mercury can’t really use her back legs :-( We’re not sure why. If it was nerve damage from the surgery, it should only be her right back leg. The clot can fade as well, right? If that is the problem? I don’t know. I am extremely sad.
I go in at 1pm to meet with the vet and go over everything, and finally see Mooch. Vet says she’s doing good otherwise. The vet seems to care and is working to figure out the reasons and fix them, so I hope it’s just a temporary problem. She has pinched a nerve or something before and it made her limp for a while, or not be able to jump on the bed for a month or so. Hopefully it’s in the same family of problem.
I’ll let everyone know in a few hours!
And sorry to bum everyone out, but I got a few hours to kill before I can see her and I know I’ll be asked.
Hope it's not a cut nerve and she'll be alright
Blood clots can be treated with medication like heparin (don’t know what they would use for animals). The main thing is that they don’t start to move before they od because at worst they can get into the heart or usually the lung.

Some food for thought
How much do you guys give in tips when eating out? I typically give 15-20%. I was watching that Better Portland show just now, and they were discussing how a slower economy forces consumers to order less food and tip less. But I was a bit irritated when I was told that apparently I’m OBLIGATED to tip 20% or higher. I know typically gratuities are expected at restaurants today, especially since many servers and restaurant employees rely on tips to supplement their minimum wages. However, isn’t a gratuity as it is, even if it less than 15% (the typical standard), a generous act?

it depends on the service, certainly
but it’s also important to be aware of the minimum wage laws in the state you’re in when you tip. Some waiters/waitresses are making less than minimum wage because their employer can count the tips toward the wage.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I tip 10% nearly 100% of the time. That's the norm here.

Last year I got in an argument with someone on a trip who tipped so little that I literally felt embarrassed for the waitress. Then better not tip at all if you really didn’t like the service. Problem was, he had picked up the tab for our table, and was annoyed at me and another guy that we didn’t appreciate the free drinks. Lose-lose situation.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
Solution to all tipping everywhere:
Raise prices 10%, 15%, or 20% and eliminate tipping forever. In fact, pass a law making tipping a federal offense punishable by eating at McDookies the rest of your life, which would be short.
You eliminate quality of service by doing this though.
by EvilKaramazov on Sep 3, 2009 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions
Servers don't have a complex-enough job to warrant a tip.
A server asks what I want to order and writes it down, then delivers the information to the cook. When the food is ready, the server brings it to my table. None of that is tip-worthy. If the meal is really good, I could see tipping the cook.
The taxi driver drives me to my destination. For that, he deserves a tip?
The pizza delivery guy drives my pizza to my house. I can’t even ask the pizza whether it enjoyed the ride, but I’m supposed to give the delivery guy a tip?
If service is bad, I’ll complain about it and the manager will correct the employee’s behavior or the manager will fire the employee and hire one who provides good service. Tipping is not and should not be necessary to motivate an employee to do his or her job well.
Tipping started when some rich, drunk guy gave a waiter a couple of extra bucks and a guy and his date at a nearby table saw it and the girl said how classy that was so the guy also tipped and word got out that you look like a rich, classy person when you tip so everyone wanted to tip to prove how cool and classy they are. Before long, servers were making more money than the manager, so restaurateurs decided to lower their salaries, which means that cheapskates get to eat-out for less.
Then there’s tip inflation. A good tip used to be 10%, but because of inflation in the early-to-mid 1970s, servers raised their rates to 15%. That was a coup, because getting 10% of whatever the price of a meal is means you get an automatic raise when inflation hits. Now a writer in yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle said 20% should be the default. Screw it, I’ll stay at home until everyone comes to their senses.

It is not about complication. It is the amount of abuse you take as a server.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
If we're gonna argue about tips and tipping
People need to tip the Pizza guy every time. Not every place gives “delivery charges” to the driver, so make sure to give the guy at least $2
Blazers win!
Lots of employees in lots of fields take lots of abuse.
Why should servers get tips for it?
If I were a restaurateur, I would advertise that no tipping is allowed and you still get great service. I would pay my servers a salary comparable to what they would make with tips somewhere else. And my restaurant would be crowded with thousands of customers ecstatic to be freed of:
- The need to wonder how much to tip.
- Having to compute the amount.
- Getting into an argument about it with their companions, as Norsktroll did.
- Leaving the restaurant feeling resentful when you should be feeling like you’ve had a great meal and a great time.
All of the most successful restaurants actually follow this business plan: McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendies, etc. It made me think: Can you tip in a Starbucks? I haven’t been in one in years, but I would guess you can’t.

Well according to this
it is on the corner of Blanco Rd and Loop 1604.
Google Street view shows that it is entirely plausible.
Margins are pretty thin these days. Food prices are crazy and Oregon’s high minimum wage drives costs high. Being able to actually pay the help means the owner doesn’t get paid, unless you run a chain so you can eek out a little more. Many owners can’t afford it, and that is why you see so many people of less than USA resident status working with other people’s SSNs.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
More goes into waiting tables than carrying things from one place to another—Suggestions, wine parrying, and most importantly, accommodating the unique needs of each customer. As a whole, I suspect I disagree with every paragraph presented. I think in the end, if you don’t like tipping you shouldn’t go places that have service.

You might think from what I wrote that I don't tip, but that's not true.
I give 15-18%, typically. I understand it’s the way things are. But your arguments move me not a bit. Waiting tables is just a job, no matter which restaurant or what the requirements or attitudes of the customers are. There is absolutely no reason for tipping to exist. None.
I understand it’s the way things are.
That’s just it , though, right?—It’s about conventions. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be rocking a mohawk, or greet people, or hold the door for someone. Politeness, in general is really just “the way things are”. But, I think you would agree that often doing the right or good thing is not the same as doing the necessary thing.

So now tipping is regarded as a moral imperative?
Makes me hate the phoniness of it all the more.
I would much prefer that restaurateurs raise prices 15-20%, pay servers a fixed wage like anyone else, and eliminate the need for tipping along with the pretense that tipping is optional.
It’s a convention. I don’t know if I would call it a moral imperative. When you think that there are a bunch of people not tipping out there, then it might become a moral imperative. I don’t know that holding the door for someone is a moral imperative, or even saying thank you, or have a good day. But, I know a bunch of people are not doing that so I make an effort to hold the door for others.
There are other conventions too, specific to the restaurant world—for example as a business owner you don’t provide insurance or benefits for your employees. I know quite a few people who work in the food biz and none of them have health care.
When I waited tables, per state conventions, my wage was $2.15 per hour. My checks didn’t really exist after tax. And, some people didn’t tip….

I'm with you on this topic, MiledAnimal.
As it is, tipping is a troublesome cultural folkway in America.
Workers should be compensated fully by their employers rather than paid in part by their customers.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
10% on the norm
more if I feel they did a good job. I don’t really care if they act friendly or not, but if it takes them 10 minutes to bring me my dressing they shouldn’t expect a big tip.
OBLIGATED to tip 20%? Yikes!
I usually tip around 18-20%, but I’d sure don’t feel obligated to tip that much. There’s a lot of rounding that goes into my tips and I usually round up. For the most part we treat servers with respect and get good service (and advice) from them. But I don’t hesitate to tip on the low end if the server is snotty.
I sometimes run into a moral problem when I’m out with a group of women and we get really lousy service because of the stereotype that women are lousy tippers. (cough Higgins cough) Do I tip on the low end because of the bad service? Or do I tip to fight the stereotype?
I like culinary schools
because the tip is optional, and if you do decide to tip it goes to a scholarship fund.
