things are great, but HOT
I’m on holiday, and tomorrow I leave for France, so I’m presque hysterical… I hope I have no problem finding a place to watch it!
in 3rd grade i wanted to join the cub scouts; the impetus being the picture of the kids climbing rocks on the brochure. my parent’s declined my request.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
bummer dude, 9 years later you could have been an Eagle Scout like yours truly (quite possibly the Eagle Scout with the worst survival skills in the history of Eagle Scouts).
yeah but i would have had to wear that uniform and bandana thing to school and wear a sash and. not to mention the community service.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
what was your big project at the end? did you paint a map of the US on a playground?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
we (skateboarders) were always trying to recruit an eagle candidate to build us a skatepark as his project.
haha
that’s a good idea. but he’d have to go to the city council and stuff and i’m not sure there is a politics merit badge
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
There are actually 3 politic-ish merit badges, all required to be an Eagle Scout
Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World
If you’ve walked every footbridge at Tryon Creek State Park, then you have walked across one that is “mine.”
Carefully read the wording here...
He said “walked EVERY footbridge…then you have walked across ONE that is ‘mine.’”
Maybe it’s that he built one footbridge, and if you walked across every one of them you would have certainly crossed his?
oh, that’s a good point. i took it to mean that if you walked across every footbridge every one you walked across was his.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
You will able to tell which one easily
it is the one made from Popsicle sticks
Phil Mickelson: "A Great shot is when you pull it off.....a smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it"’
yes, this is the correct reading.
My footbridge is on the Cedar Trail, not far from the intersection with the Red Fox Trail, near the Red Fox Hills parking lot.
haha no. Its really not impressive. Its just a ~15 foot footbridge— its the first one you come across on the Cedar Trail.
What I do like is that its still there 8.5 years later, which isn’t always the case for Eagle projects.
Ha! I knew it!
Though the reading could also be you built several of them…
Far be it from me to be the grammar police
I lotsa times ain’t got good speaking words
Nice!
I have a park bench in Vancouver’s VA building.
"[S]ince men enjoyed very great leisure, they used it to pursue many kinds of commodities unknown to their fathers, and that was that first yoke they placed upon themselves without thinking about it, and the first source of evils the prepared for their descendants. For, besides continuing thus to soften body and mind, as these commodities had lost almost all their pleasantness through habit, and as they had at the same time degenerated into true needs, being deprived of them became much more cruel than possessing them was sweet; and people were unhappy to lose them without being happy to have them." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Do you remember the Micheal Jackson/Boyscouts joke??
Phil Mickelson: "A Great shot is when you pull it off.....a smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it"’
um….no.
do i want to?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Yeah....they make quit him the scouts when he started going thru 2 packs a day
Phil Mickelson: "A Great shot is when you pull it off.....a smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it"’
Yeah it is a smokers joke
Phil Mickelson: "A Great shot is when you pull it off.....a smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it"’
At least you're not the Eagle Scout with the worst knot tying abilities in the history of Eagle Scouts.
That one belongs to me.

I decided not to make the move from Cub to Boy Scouts
When I realized it would have meant camping in the snow. Not my thing really at all then or ever.

"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I would also add that I would probably have quit
A few years in after they announced the no gays in scouts thing. With a gay uncle (even though I am not gay), I always felt passionate about opposing that policy.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
yeah, their stance on gays definitely sucks.
I once heard Jon Stewart do standup and he was like “What I don’t get is that Boy Scouts is already the gayest organization in America. What is gayer than a bunch of guys running around wearing neckerchiefs…”

We built igloos. Huge igloos.
A search and rescue training team requested that they use our igloos after we were finished with our campout.
Instead of being a scout.

by “indian guide” do you mean handed passed around the “peace” pipe on the vision quests?

So Livepool might have competition for Dempsey's services
The 27-year-old has played midfielder and forward for English Premier League club Fulham for the past three seasons and has improved steadily to become a leading figure in the Cottagers’ squad.
While Milan would be a big step up, the Italian club’s new coach Massimiliano Allegri believes Dempsey’s hard-working approach could add some backbone to a team that floundered last season. Former coach Leonardo was fired after Milan could only manage a third-place finish in Serie A last season, 12 points behind city rival and league champion Inter Milan.
"[Dempsey] brings a lot of action and energy but he can be creative too," said a Milan source who is close to the club’s board. "There are some options on the table but Dempsey is a realistic one. A bid is very possible, and soon."
The source added that Dempsey’s magnificent chip for Fulham in a victory over Juventus in last season’s Europa League brought him to the attention of several Italian clubs.
Dempsey has settled into the squad at Fulham, but the London team’s future plans were thrown into doubt this week when manager Roy Hodgson jumped ship to take charge of Liverpool.
Money is not a serious issue with Milan, which could easily afford the transfer fee of around $12 million that Fulham would command.

Yeah ...the dreaded Jordan factor
It is hard to imagine that the Leaf pick could have been even worse … but if Indy had a taken Leaf and SD had picked Manning….it gets exponentially worse

In light of how the 2004 MLB Amateur Draft has played out, I go with Matt Bush as the worst #1 ...
pick of this past decade. Regarding baseball, Bush is tied with Brien Taylor — although his downfall came about due to injury rather than lack of skill, but it was still his damn fault for getting into a dumb fight — as the biggest draft bust in MLB history.

well that explains it.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
i think it's the case for christians in general
and also muslims. I am ignorant about other religions.
perhaps. i was raised in church (not catholic) and it seemed to be less about the sex act (ie virginity) than about the violation of marriage.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
right. i think the main concern is violating the marriage union rather than simply having sex. i guess it’s just that they may view the act of having sex as violating a future marriage union.

This is good information for the dossier

my opinion is that staying a virgin or losing one’s virginity is a choice people make (hopefully) for different reasons and no one should be faulted or ridiculed based on the choice they make. personally, it doesn’t much matter to me what a person decides in this regard.

On the fact that it freaks you out or on virginity?
I’ll expound on both. I think it makes sense why extreme virginity stances would freak you out. And, especially, see how this would apply to either those who clung excessively to their virginity or those that were aroused by it.
On the topic of virginity itself, I shared your opinion when I was a bit younger. I’ve mellowed to the idea that some people really feel that holding back on experiencing that has the power of enriching the rest of ones relationship in they are serious about getting to know each other and not just trying to have sex. I respect the idea. I don’t believe more than 5% are this thoughtful about it as opposed to just clinging to what someone else told them to do.

oh don't misundestand me
I understand and respect why someone would choose to wait.
I don’t understand why it should be praised, or why people are aroused, in abstract, by it.
well, guys are aroused by it cause there’s something about being the first to “conquer” (a horrible term in this context, i know) something.

I was someone's "first time" once

It doesn´t help that at least 40% of these guys have had a run before their marriage, and at least another 60% will give it a run after their marriage.
My percentages must be wrong according to the Spanish saying: “el que no la corre de soltero, la corre de casado”. That makes 100%.
Forbidden to forbid!
Most probably fall into what DTL described.
I suppose that I get how it can be a cherished thing. Especially if both people were chaste leading to a marriage. But I agree with you. It’s just a personal choice and I couldn’t possibly see what difference being a virgin makes.
Also.. what defines virginity? Just the absence of certain acts having been performed? A purity of mind? Uncompromised hymens? I just don’t know!

i tried to be different when i decided to really dig in here.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"

i for sure don’t have that attitude. i’ve never been impressed with myself. well, not never, but very rarely.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"

Blessed?
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
for sure. beyond comprehension, truth be told.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
But that doesn't translate.

no. i’m blessed in spite of myself. blessings are things received but not earned. otherwise they are called rewards.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Just because they aren't earned.
Doesn’t mean it is in spite of yourself. Just because you don’t deserve or have earned something doesn’t mean that it is not meant for you. Doesn’t mean that is a reason not to be impressed by confluence of your blessings that mark your existence. IMO, at least.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
i see them as separate things.
i seem to have this strange proclivity to see myself as two different people. that’s probably the source of our difference here.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Odd.
My proclivity is to deny individuality as an illusion and believe that I’m just a reflection of a wave off the ocean. But when I’m not doing that I’m thinking damn.. I am amazed by all that I have been gifted in this life.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
i don’t much believe in individuality either. but i see two sides of myself they are just like other people, i think. so where you see a reflection off a wave in the ocean, i see that too. but i see myself on different waves, with different reflections.
i, also, am amazed at what i’ve been gifted.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
My amazement leads to being impressed.
Like looking at beautiful art.
The thing about being a reflection off a wave on the ocean is that the reality is that we are just a tiny part of the ocean that is All.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
you’re not seeing anything i disagree with. i just see a slightly different interpretation i guess. being amazed at what i have doesn’t make me more impressed with myself. i mean, i’m just a drop in an ocean right? what’s special about me? what’s special about you?
the only thing that makes us special is when someone else finds us amazing.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Being special.
Is intricately tied with being blessed. (for me at least) And everyone is special and should be impressed with themselves. Existence itself is a transcendent experience and then you add all of the richness and beauty we are allowed to experience. That’s impressive to me.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
i don’t believe in “special”. if everyone is special, no one is. if everyone is unique, no one is. i think “special” is something that has to have at least two people involved. i only feel special in that i am special to someone else. but i don’t like the word special. perhaps “matter” is a better word. i only matter in that i matter to someone else.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
But that's just not the case.
Special is evaluative. So let’s put that aside. But almost everything in nature and the cosmos reflects upon every single thing being entirely unique from every other thing.
I can see where you are coming from in terms of special but since I embody all people and all people embody me minor concepts like “two people involved” aren’t necessary. Also, my belief in “God” also makes unnecessary a second person.
But it’s a lot cooler when one is there.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
if we are all part of the same thing, how are we different? this doesn’t make sense to me.
and if everything is different, they don’t reflect each other right? wouldn’t they offset each other? i’m not sure what the term would be.
also, have you ever seen Synechdoche, New York?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I could explain.
The philosophical premise of being infinitely distinctive yet part of oneness But I’m not going to do it on the far right of the screen.
And you are right. The reflection is always more of a refraction. And I’ve definitely saw Synecdoche, NY. Thats a good word too.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
good call. i’m about to go anyway. we can talk about this further at another time. i still owe you drinks.

"[S]ince men enjoyed very great leisure, they used it to pursue many kinds of commodities unknown to their fathers, and that was that first yoke they placed upon themselves without thinking about it, and the first source of evils the prepared for their descendants. For, besides continuing thus to soften body and mind, as these commodities had lost almost all their pleasantness through habit, and as they had at the same time degenerated into true needs, being deprived of them became much more cruel than possessing them was sweet; and people were unhappy to lose them without being happy to have them." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Josh McRoberts is an interesting case, since he's got enough skills to be a ...
solid backup 4 in the NBA. Yet, whether or not McRoberts reaches that expectation will depend on where he ends up after Indiana.
Well, Randolph Morris has so far gotten a little over three seasons.
Morris, however, will probably have a tough time getting another contract.
In all likelihood, though, I predict Orton will get two years in Orlando, with some other team after that taking a flier on him for a second contract. That’ll be it, though.
Wow,
it is amazing that a player who didn’t play that much in his only year of college ball is struggling in summer league. PLUS HE WORE A T-SHIRT TABOOT!
It boggles the mind.
Think he's one of the 11yo boys?!

Lol...this ain't how we roll here in PDX
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Dwyane Wade walked down the stairs, trying to keep a stoic expression as he approached the crush of 150 people chanting his name.
He failed miserably.
``We want Wade!’’
``We want Wade!’’
``We want Wade!’’
As soon as Wade heard those sounds and saw the group of Miami Heat employees waving signs and wearing jerseys bearing his name, he lifted his arms skyward and didn’t even bother trying to contain his smile.
``I see I can’t get rid of you all,’’ Wade said.
Emphasis mine

so in my pool for the world cup, I was in last place during group play
but now I am tied for second and if either germany or netherlands win today i get sole possession of a guaranteed second and 30% of the pool money.
in our pool we did the knockout stages like a round of 32 NCAA basketball tourney, and i chose Netherlands to beat Germany in the Final. Now I wish I could have chosen germany but I like both teams so hopefully they can both win their semis.
Still stoked to see some good soccer today and tomorrow, actually skipping my soccer class to watch these games.

Uruguay going with a traditional 4-4-2
Netherlands going with what is either a 4-5-1 or a 4-3-2-1.

best burgers:
Red Mill. this is my definitive answer as far as “fast” food goes.

are they really that fast?
isn’t it a bit restauranty to be fast food? I’ve sadly never been, by the way

no it’s not that fast but only cause it’s so busy. it’s an “assembly line” type place so very much like other fast food places. it’s not a restaraunt, per se, in the mold of Red Robin. doesn’t taste like fast food though.

Dustys Bistro uses the wrong cheese. But I saw more positive comments about Soleil’s poutine.

The place in Monrovia closed, apparently. Soleil is promising, but that’s a bit of a trek for me just to satisfy a craving. I’m thinking of just making it my self, though I’d have to figure out where I can get fresh cheese curds.
You got a farmer's market close to ya?
I’ve seen them at farmer’s markets before, and a quick Google search tells me others have too.
Also some people say they get it at Whole Foods.
I looooove cheese turds and I haven’t had them in years. The Tillamook Cheese Factory in Oregon has awesome curds. Shoot, I’d even take some of A & W’s fried cheese curds.

I would guess that Kevin Durant claps more than any of the players in support of the team.
I’ve been coming to summer leagues for 11 years and never seen anything like him
yeah,
Harden, Maynor, and Ibaka are all playing, though Ibaka went down with an ankle injury. They all look to be a cut above, as you’d expect. DJ White, Weaver, and Mullens are all getting heavy minutes. White looks like he always has: really solid offense, a total sieve on defense. Weaver’s trying to play to keep his roster spot and not making a very convincing case. Mullens looks like he’s put in a lot of work, but he still doesn’t know how to use his body.
I really like DJ White
Had to wade through all that crap going on at Indiana, and I remember when he had to defend Greg Oden his junior year, and he was gassed….
Hope he at least becomes a backup 4 or starts somewhere.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
-George Carlin (RIP)
He could definitely be a rotation player
His offense is legit. But he has zero court awareness on defense; he’s a big liability on that end.
So Seton Hall made a good choice in firing him
Fired Seton Hall basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez has been arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at a New Jersey mall.
Millburn police say the 47-year-old Gonzalez was arrested Monday after reporting to police headquarters and was charged Tuesday with shoplifting and criminal mischief.

I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
I’m higher on Houston, Memphis, New Orleans and Sacramento among teams that missed the playoffs last year.
Houston yes, Memphis Yes, I put them above NO and Sactown in terms of talent, I think Phoenix misses the playoffs this year, and San Antonio is likely to be fighting for a lower seed too… some team not named Portland is bound to have big injury problems this year and slide (sorry Sammy, but I hope it’s OKC)

not out of the question, but close. that would be asking a lot of Griffin and Aminu. They’d make it in the East, but the West is still so much deeper.
Blake Griffin will be eligible for ROY this year.

he should be in the mix, but my money would be on Mr. Wall just because he’ll always have the ball (Wall won’t be the most deserving, but he’ll win it.)

Actually, Gilbert Arenas should benefit having John Wall around to run the ...
point. That way, Arenas can play off the ball — as the 2 is his natural position — and get better looks as a spot-up shooter off of dribble-drive kickouts from Wall.
Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala, however, might have trouble meshing with each other, which is why I hope Iguodala becomes available this season.
I'll be interested in seeing if Arenas readily agrees with your assessment.
And also don’t understand why a combo guard can’t play with a 3. But they could use a PG.

Gilbert Arenas liks to chuck, while John Wall likes to gun. So, while ...
them sharing the ball with post players might be an issue, they’ll each get their fair share — if not more than deserved — looks at the basket.

For, besides continuing thus to soften body and mind, as these commodities had lost almost all their pleasantness through habit, and as they had at the same time degenerated into true needs, being deprived of them became much more cruel than possessing them was sweet; and people were unhappy to lose them without being happy to have them." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I'd expect that from any tournament like this.

really? hmm…
NCAA tourney used to have a 3rd place game. Can’t remember if e.g. the World Baseball Classic had one or not. Just feels a little strange to me for some reason. I guess it makes sense.
For me, I think of team play in the Olympics, FIBA World Cup, (even the IBAF World Cup), and the old format of the NCAA Tourney.

Van Bommel is a despicable thug. He has earned at least three yellow cards in every game I’ve seen him play (Bayern and Holland) and yet he never gets reds. It’s ridiculous.
I think the ref was afraid to give him a red there
Since it would mean no final for him.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
maybe
but he made at least two ludicrous challenges earlier that were yellows for other players on the field (Boulharouz, etc.) and didn’t get one. It was similar in the Brazil game, where he fouled every time they attacked and didn’t get a yellow. I actually like NED quite a bit, but it’s a bit puzzling.
i feel the same way, man.
I would be happy if the Dutch win it all, but Van Bommel makes me question my allegiances.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
He's a real weakness too when he is off, either making the opponent strong by talking trash or just making dumb plays
He strikes me as a very average player without special skills. But he plays hard and that’s why coaches like him.

"Bof teemz play hahd"
Yup the two best countries never to win one

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Well, Forlan’s sub scored the goal, and they were looking tired and needed fresh legs to get the ball, so the decision is defensible, but not great.
Yeah, great point
still, I was surprised to see him taken off. Also, what the hell was up with 3 minutes of stoppage time turning into 5?!

Once, when I was a kid, my dad rented a Step Van or something like it, that had been converted to a travel trailer. We had fun on our trip except when it was time to come out of the valley – we didn’t have enough power in the powerplant to get the Step Van all the way up the hill and out of the valley. So we called AAA and pretty soon, up comes this IH Scout tow truck custom jobby, and he was towing a Ford behind him. We were tired of waiting and asked if he could push us while towing the Ford. He said OK, let’s give it a try. Sure enough, the little Scout pushed us up and over the hill while towing a full-sized Ford behind it.
I was impressed! – Elgin

Ric Bucher took a dig at Portland... I think...
All this talk of multiple titles for Chi = Trail Blazers 2 yrs ago. How did that work out? Titles/Ws aren’t guaranteed. The $ is.
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
sure, but nobody expected Portland to be winning titles the last 2 years… we were supposed to compete this last year, but not the season before, and this next season (Odens Third) was when were supposed to start stringing them together
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
So we can't win any titles now?
"What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. May God have mercy on your soul."
here’s a post from jscot, almost exactly one year ago:
I think that Brandon is a probable Hall of Famer, and Greg is going to be one of the top 3 centers in the league for 10 years or more, a possible Hall of Famer as well.
I think LMA is going to be a perennial all star.
I think Bayless makes the Big Three the Big Four. I said that when we got him, and still believe it.
I think Rudy is an incredible talent for off the bench, probably one of the top 15 SGs in the league within 2 years. Nic (in 2-3 years) is going to be a legit starter on virtually any team, a Tayshaun Prince level talent. I think Joel at backup center is better than a lot of starting centers.
That isn’t even addressing the possibility of Martell exploding, or a draft pick or one of our stashed Euros becoming a contributor.
Will everything I just said actually pan out? Probably not. But enough will that we’ll win as many championships as the Spurs have, and very possibly more.
All of that is without actually making any moves.
and here is my response:
I really have nothing to say, other than that I think you are going to be really, really disappointed.

I still say we can win a title with what we got
If Oden is healthy, and can stay on the damn floor.
Same for Roy.
I think we likely need a different PF, and a different coach or offensive/defensive schemes.
#52
I think we need an upgrade at PG more than PF
this is why CP3 will make me dirty my pantaloons.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
I think we can get by with a non-great PG as long as they can defend
I worry about having a PF who recoils under pressure. I’d rather have a role playing PF who doesn’t need shots and plays tough.
#52
I blamed Roy back then
Because he simply wasn’t looking into Oden and missed him so many times. Plus I do think not working out all summer was a mistake, though understandable during a contract summer.
Dre made it hard because he was rough starting out the year. Made it hard to say “well OBVIOUSLY he should be playing” even if it was mostly obvious.
Nate’s hangups on giving Blake a chance were silly.
I think Roy and Oden’s problems can be smooved out with time.
#52
Roy was still playing like it was Joel out there.
Never looking inside on rebounds or when doubled.
I think Roy is unselfish and these problems can be slowly fixed with playing time together and watching tape.
#52
It didn't surprise me, since Nate McMillan's high-low zone offense is like ...
averse to running many plays for true centers. For the most part, all the poor big guys get are putbacks and garbage buckets.
Also, I don’t trust any guard on the roster — sans Andre Miller, who’s the lone true point guard — when it comes to post-entry passes and successfully feeding the rumbling big man on the pick-and-roll.
And that is how we were going to play all season!
Roy and Oden would never get used to each other or Dre, and those 20 awkward games are a sign that it all just won’t work.
Just by our talent alone we were winning, and once they can get some time together, it’ll be smoover.
#52
We prolly do
If he can’t diversify our offensive and defensive schemes.
If he can, I like his motivational abilities and how players play hard for him.
But we can’t have such simple schemes. We just can’t.
#52
Oh yeah we can
We just cant win that way because its just too easy for the other team to prepare for in a series

I didn't think they were considered awesome till they went a few rounds into the playoffs?
And with Deng real young, Hinrich, and a great team defense, I can see why people were so high on them but they were still a flawed roster because they had no interior play.
It kinda reminds of me OKC, but not exactly because the Bulls don’t have anyone as good as Durant or Westbrook. But both were young teams who excelled with great, energetic defense but lack reliable inside offense in the halfcourt.
We also don’t have reliable interior offense with no Oden, since LMA doesn’t pick up that slack adequately. We need Oden or we will also just be a young also-ran as well.
#52
And then, the Ben Wallace signing
Along with the trading of Chandler, waiving JR Smith (or trading him for nothing? I forget) and not developing Tyrus and Deng getting hurt and Hinrich being a drunken coke head and and and… things went wrong.
#52
And thus far, the "things went wrong" for us has been injuries
And apparent front office turmoil and stalled development of LMA.
If we can stop being wusses who get hurt all the time, hopefully we can get out of the “things went wrong” category.
#52
It's weird how Tyson Chandler evolved from a lanky face-up 4 with the Chicago ...
Bulls — as he was like a homeless man’s Kevin Garnett there — to a buff pick-and-roll scoring machine at the 5 with Chris Paul and the new Orleans Hornets. To be fair, though, Chandler began making striedes in the right direction during his final season as a Bull (i.e., 2005-2006), with Eddy Curry gone to New York and a huge uptick in the percentage of his field-goal attempts being close-range shots.
a couple of those things could still happen, but his projections for LMA, Joel, Rudy and probably Bayless are looking just a touch optimistic, even if you are super confident in Greg and Brandon.
sure, but even with your “realistic” view of things, a championship is not out of the question with this roster if everyone can get healthy and we can dump Miller
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
I don’t think I ever said a championship was out of the question, just that a lot has to go right and that I don’t think we’ll win one.
I just think its amazing that one year ago some highly respected posters, like jscot, were projecting not just a title or two but “very possibly more” than the Spurs.
Yea we still have to see if we can win one title before we start talking about a dynasty.
"What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. May God have mercy on your soul."
Well, jscot has always been too much of an optimist.
I doubt he’s learned his lesson that realism > pessimism > optimism.

"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I think he could maybe average a triple double in a fast enough system
The Cavs always played sorta slow I believe, kinda artificially lowering Lebron’s already amazing per-game stats.

Is there any way to take his percentages in the slower Cavs system and guesstimate how much his raw numbers would be bumped up by taking those percentages into a fast paced system?

The author of "How to be a hero then a goat in less than one JD"
yep
and based on last years numbers there wouldn’t be that much of a difference as the Cav’s pace wasn’t that far off of the Knick’s pace.
The Cavs had 91.4 possession/48minutes and the Knicks had 94 possessions/48 minutes. The extra 2 possessions per game would have had essentially no change on LeBron’s numbers.
but what about a system like PHX back in the SSOL days?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
2006 Suns (the year SSOL: The Book is taken from)
had 95.8 possessions/48 minutes. If you simply scale LeBron’s number from last year to the new pace he would have put up 31.1ppg, 7.6 rpg, 9apg in that system
tingeyga gets it!!
so basically there would have be either an historically fast paced offense or Lebron would have to get even better to get those numbers."My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
it wouldn't be an historically fast paced offense
just an offense that played at a similar pace at the entire NBA did back in the early 60s when Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double
yep yep
here is an article that goes far more into detail about it, but the gist is that in early 60s, there were roughly 30 more possessions per game than in today’s NBA.
He estimates that LeBron’s numbers would be 40/10/10 in such an evironment.
my guess was only bosh would move. Clearly I was wrong, but it would be interesting if only one moves. I have a hard time seeing how (at this point in their careers) they’d want to defer to another player well established on his team.
I'm not crazy about how Harangody looks
His shot is too low and in front of him and he’s so small.
#52
Yeah, if he can make it it won't matter
I think his size and how it’s not a super quick release, plus real low, might make it hard for him to get it off even when open if a defender closes out quick.
He plays hard and gets boards and can hit the shot, so I don’t think he’ll be useless.
#52
Just showed a nice touch
Floating the ball off the backboard after a nice pump fake.
Though it looks like his pump fake has a different motion than his actual shot, a different form, and that’s kinda funny.
#52
He won't be able to guard anyone good, at all.
I can’t see him being a Chuck Hayes type small big man defender. He doesn’t look that solid, just puffy. And clearly he isn’t quick enough to guard anyone his own size, so that’s out of the question.
He’ll likely be up against other bench dudes, and he can maybe get by with guile and technique.
Kamla says Harangody has been the best player on the floor, and even if he has been, I ain’t crazy about how he’s doing it. I think he’s just too small but he will try real hard at least.
I like how Evan Turner layed it up on a fast break ala Roy.
#52
And I still think Turner looks too slight to be a SF
He looks like a nice sized SG who needs to add some strength.
#52
I don't watch much college and I like what I see of him
But yeah, he just looks like a SG to me and I was kinda surprised since I haven’t read much about him not being a SF.

I’m not loving Turner’s “I’m better than you” attitude. He’s on cruise control and needs to be on red alert.
He’s playing better this half, but is by no means playing well. Humility, mixed with confidence, is the ticket.
Thorpe really does need to declare in his articles which players have hired him or the company that he works for
in the spirit of full disclosure
I agree
Obviously it makes me skeptical of everything he says about players, when I wanna trust him since I think he can be good.
#52
yep
he is like a financial writer hyping up a stock “Buy Home Depot stock, because the recession is making a lot of people do home improvement projects themselves” without mentioning that he owns a whole heap of shares and stands to benefit from people buying it.
"he needs to be on red alert"
or else what? lol. I don’t think Turner needs to prove much of anything during SL. Better he takes it easy and not get hurt than to go out and overdue it trying to make himself look good.
I think you do wanna see a good competitive nature
If he feels summer league is beneath him, that isn’t good.
I don’t know if that is the case though.
#52
It's not underneath him, but he doesn't need to get hurt
Bayless tore it up in SL and it didn’t matter at all.
You're right that doing awesome in SL doesn't really matter
But I don’t think going half-butt really will translate to not getting hurt. Playing normal is prolly the best way to not get hurt.
I don’t think Turner is playing half-butt though.

Witt 3-for-4 with six points, an offensive rebound and steal in 10:35 minutes of action
Having a player this close to making the NBA is pretty new for us.
did you know that if he produced at this same rate for 20minutes
that his stat line would be almost identical to Gordo’s?
Who would have thought that the #9 pick in the draft would be as productive as a kid from Cornell?

Cavs would send some combination of
Varajeo, Hickson, Mo Williams, Delonte+filler to cover for Bosh’s salary
It debuted on 6/29
It’s called “Louis” and it’s about him as a newly divorced dad.
It airs Tuesdays at 11pm. I didn’t realize it already started! The new episode is on tonight, followed by the pilot, and then last week’s episode I guess.

those made me laugh the hardest
especially the bit about his daughter telling him secrets and talking directly into his mouth.

Is it a continuation of Lucky Louie or something else completely?
I loved Lucky Louis
It was one of the best sitcoms ever. It was lame it got canceled so quickly.

He is my absolute favorite stand up as well.
He is the best around.
I saw his SHAMELESS special for HBO live and it was hilarious.

I saw him when he came through LA a few years ago,
can’t remember if it was for the shameless tour or the other one right before that.
I am wearing a blue shirt
I can see me in the audience for it.
I got a bootleg of his current act he’s working on for a special and he is real funny about the divorce.

I don’t like sitcoms and I loved Lucky Louis, so maybe that was part of the problem.

I wasn't a big fan of Lucky Louis
partially because I already knew the jokes he was telling so well, and so much of the humor is in Louis’ delivery.
Yeah, some scenes and jokes were taken almost word for word from his act

This 1986 Jeep CJ7 was sweet.
I bought it for $800 and drove it all over the Virgin Islands for 2 years. The seatbelt rusted through the floor and i found it in the sand under the seat. Literally fell through while i was parked.
I blew it up racing a guy down a main drag. I get too aggressive if I drive too much. Very nice not having a car. Nonetheless, it was a wicked ride.
Note the bullet-hole-like rust pockmarks, and my guitar hanging out of the back in a black case.

The sad partis Vince McMahon is making bank with his putrid PG-rated product at WWE these days.
On the other hand, though, UFC — and MMA in general — has all but killed but killed the sport of boxing. Relating WWE to UFC, however, it was interesting to see some of the names in attendence at the most recent PPV wherein Brock Lesnar’s wrestling ground game trumped Shane Carwin’s striking style. Of course, Lesnar is one of the few with the actual talent to translate from scripted wrasslin’ to actual shoot fighting.
they need people who can write better stories for the guys (i know this isn’t saying much) and they need to get an edge back. i agree with AK: the family friendly WWE isn’t nearly as entertaining. but it does make a ton more money.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Yeah, I can't stomach the WWE in its current state.
I’ve got a friend who lives in Michigan and has gone to some ROH shows, but there’s flat-out nothing of that caliber regarding indy promotions up by Seattle. I don’t have HDNet, either, so I can’t watch ROH on TV.
Anyway, here are my all-time favorite live events.
1. WWE WrestleMania XIX @ Safeco Field on 3/30/2003
2. WWE Monday Night Raw @ Key Arena on 3/31/2003
3. WCW Spring Stampede 1999 @ Tacoma Dame 4/11/1999
I went to a few low-end indy promotion events back in the day, too, with my favorite one being an old ECCW (i.e., Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling) show at the Everett Armory several years ago that headlined Steve Corino.

ok— you like bruisers, fine, but if you happen to have a guy like Frye, its a lot better that you encourage him to shoot 3s than to have him shooting long twos. The Suns essentially took a guy below replacement level (ie worse than a D-Leaguer) and made him a decent player by telling him to shoot 3s.
Yes, I agree with this ...
but when your opponent takes you inside, you better be able to D up.
On offense, however, you are either a spot-up shooter or you need to have a sweet handle because a SF/SG/PG might be out there to pick your pocket.

Meh, I'm not a fan of Jim O'Brien's 4-outside/1-inside spread motion offense or assistant coach Dick ...
Harter’s overaggressive swarming, half-court trapping defense with the Indiana Pacers personnel. Heck, the Pacers would be better off ditching Troy Murphy, acquring a more traditional power forward who can actually hold his own on defense — with Tyler Hansbrough certainly not the answer — and changing its scheme on both sides of the ball. Alas, my guess is the Pacers front office foolishly drafted Paul George with the intent of making him a stretch 4 down the line like, oh, Al Harrington. That’s a dumb idea, too.

Wait, why?

I ask again— have you Facebook stalked her?

Like, nothing.
I dunno if we are the only ones, but even if Tilly isn’t a perfect comparison (it ain’t), I will be DAMNED if I have to “live it down”.
I only thought it up because Bynes was soooooo far off.

The problem, however, is that by doing so I drop from a 7 down to a 6, as well as look like a bum hipster.
i agree with Mort as well
and I don’t facebook stalk her (at least to the point of being facebook buddies) but from her profile picture here and her profile picture on facebook, AK and whomever else is on the Bynes bandwagon is insane.

I've only seen the one photo of her, which is where I draw my ...
Amanda Bynes comparison. Alas, I may have to concede being in the minority here. Oh well, the Jennifer Tilly comparison isn’t a bad one; yet, it’s the huge difference in age that makes it hard for me to accept here.
I've fb stalked pg91 plenty over the year.
And I’m still with you that Bynes is a better comparison than Tilly.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
All right, so I'm not crazy then.
Maybe there’s some unseen photo evidence of porgy being the spawn of Jennifer Tilly. Yet, until I can get Maury Povich on the scene to provide concrete DNA evidence, I’m sticking with the Amanda Bynes comparison.
Besides for the obvious that they share.
The only thing I see that makes Tilly a better comparison than Bynes is the eyes. They definitely share eye shape. But Tilly’s cheekbones, nose, and chin look nothing like her! And much closer to Bynes.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed

The age difference
Is why I always said Tilly could be Porgy’s mom or young grandma.
Byne’s huge cheeks just don’t look Porgyesque to me, when her and Tilly got the same eyes, and even if Byne’s chin or whatever looks just like Porg, that isn’t a good defining characteristic to say someone looks like someone else with… unless they both had Leno chins or something.
I think you just have a crush on Bynes and are forcing every woman you see to look like her!!!

About that last line, Amanda Bynes is no Kate Hudson.
Bynes is very cute, sure. I, however, wouldn’t call Bynes hot — or gorgeous like Ms. Hudson — yet, she’s still attractive in her own way.
Oh, and within Bynes’ age bracket (i.e., mid-‘20s), I’d totally pick someone like Ashley Tisdale — who reminds me of a chick who I went to high school with — or the downright most underrated beauty out there, Ashley Leggat, way before Bynes.
Ashley Leggat is wayyy hot, dude
and, coincidentally, like your gal who looks like Tisdale, I had a girl with whom I was friends and study buddies in my early college days who looks very very much like Leggat (needless to say I had a big crush on her, yet we unfortunately never went from study buddies to “study buddies”.)
"Bof teemz play hahd"
On that note, it's time for Ashley Leggat pics.
Whenever I think happy thoughts, there’s only one part of me that flies.
ugh, damn far right of the screen.
still, she’s way pretty, and plays poker(though I’m more a blackjack person).

True, although I've always argued 16 should be the legal age for everything from consent to ...
to driving to smoking to drinking to whatever else. With regards to age of consent, moreover, a five-year wondow rule would apply for ages 13, 14, and 15 (i.e., 13 is okay up to 18, 14 is okay up to 19, and 15 is okay up to 20). As it is, my proposal would closely mirror the laws that exist up in Canada.
I also think that people should be done with free secondary education at 16, too, rather than 18. That’d save a lot of money, y’know. And, even if a person isn’t ready to make a career choice at 16, two years of commuunity or junior college is an option to bide time.
I see where you are coming from.
But your “five-year window rule” doesn’t help me.

hey Norsk, what can you tell me about BG Göttingen (which apparently just signed former Cornell PG Louis Dale)?.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
I know almost nothing about them
Google/Wiki tells me that they just won the Eurochallenge in 2010, which is the third European international basketball club championship after (1) the Euroleague and (2) the Eurocup. That seems to be the biggest success in team history.
So maybe they are up-and-coming. But they are definitely not one of the powerhouses, neither in Europe nor in Germany (Berlin, Bamberg, Bonn, etc.).
Goettingen is a nice little old university town, but not much going on there in terms of big night life or events. The roster seems comprised of German players and a lot of US expatriates. One once played for the Lakers, but probably only in pre-season or something since I don’t know him.
Saw that. And it really surprises me, not because Kiki might not have a good connection from being a Blazer back in the day but because that brings LeGarie back into the picture. And it seemed like Allen wanted to cut all ties to him.
maybe his hire will be conditional

LeBron James is planning to announce the team with which he will sign during a one-hour special on ESPN Thursday night, ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Broussard has learned through independent sources.
ESPN would only confirm that active discussions for the special are ongoing. But sources tell Broussard that representatives for James contacted the network, proposing that James makes his announcement during a 9 p.m. ET special.
Those sources said that James’ representatives requested they be allowed to sell sponsorship for the one-hour special, with the proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and that ESPN agreed to the proposal but had not been told what James has decided.
Simmons mailbag in November of last year:
Q: You know how when top recruits in basketball or football make their college decision, they often call a press conference and put the three hats of the schools that made the final three in front of them … then pick up the hat of the school of choice and put it on? What if LeBron announces he will pick his 2010-11 team live on ABC on a certain date for a show called “LeBron’s Choice?” What type of crazy ratings would that get?
— Drew, Columbus, Ohio
SG: “LeBron’s Choice” sounds too much like a Lifetime movie — like, he became the first NBA player to make himself pregnant and now he can’t decide whether to give up the baby for adoption or not. I’d go with something more newsy, like “Decision 2010: LeBron’s Verdict” or “The LeBron Sweepstakes.” Actually, it might make more sense to make this a six-episode show, along the lines of “The Bachelor” — maybe “The LeBrachelor”? — in which he’d start out with 29 GMs, then narrow them down to eight, then six, then four, then three, then two, then one.
Regardless, you’re right — this should be a televised event. If LeBron were smart, he would market the event through his company, sell the rights to a network and reveal his choice on that show. We know what the offers will be. (New York, Miami, Chicago, Memphis, New Jersey, the Clips and the Zombie Sonics can offer the max. Cleveland could offer the max plus an extra year. Nobody else could offer as much.) It’s a cut-and-dry thing. So why not? He could even make it pay-per-view. If people were willing to pay $44.99 for a UFC 106 card headlined by Jenna Jameson’s washed-up husband fighting a guy who hadn’t won in two years, I’m pretty sure they’ll pony up $44.99 for “Decision 2010: LeBron’s Verdict.”

I may not like his arrogance, or the fact that he’s a Laker, but when he talks about basketball you can tell his heart and his focus is all about basketball. Lebron is more and more just about the spectacle of being a star, and being a legend before he has really done anything.

Too bad Z-Bo is no longer there
Some of the late game plays he did looked exactly like the scribbles Vinny draws on his clipboard. Especially the one that Simmons called “a dump on the three point line”. Though it’s hard to beat Dunleavy always drawing up plays for ice cold players who haven’t played for 38 minutes. But Vinny can almost challenge that with his plays that leave Brad Miller standing there with the ball 30 feet away from the hoop.
I've never been very impressed with Eric Gordon
Seems like a poor man’s Ben Gordon, which seems too simple a comparison because of the names, but still.
I don’t see him as anything more than a bench instant offense guy on a good team.

if my parents had made me wear it as a kid. But I rarely bothered with it when I was played soccer and was out in the sun all the time. Those were the good ol days when I had natural blond hair and highlights from the sun and a weird soccer tan.

"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"

My brother is really into golf
so he thought it would be a good idea to get his wife to start playing. She played softball her whole life so she’s got a baseball swing.
They went the other day and she came back so pissed off because she didn’t do very well. I knew it would be an awful idea.
people who swing a bat try and kill the ball, which isn't exactly the thing to do.
You have to allow the flex of the shaft and the head of the club to develop the proper inertia and this can only be done by finding the correct rhythm. Just whacking it as hard as you can will end up giving you less than satisfactory results.

Also
Since Oden looks old, it’s an easy and simplistic connection to make for lazy media people and fans.
It’s really not worth worrying about, about how the different players with similar problems get treated. If Blake keeps getting hurt he’ll get crap too, but I hope he doesn’t.
Bynum gets a lot of crap from Laker fans and no one seems to think he’ll be a tremendously great center anymore, like they used to. If he can stay healthy I think he’ll still be a good center, but I never thought he’d be great.

that's a good question, but I don't think so.
No doubt Greg and Durant being picked #1 and 2 makes comparing them more appealing, but part of it is also that those two were heads and shoulders above the rest of their draft class. It was one going first, the other second. It seems more inevitable to compare the top picks of the ‘07 draft than those of the ’09 draft since in 2009, Griffin really stood out the most and the others weren’t consensus picks.
right, the fact that it was known for at least a year before the draft that they would be 1/2 (heck, maybe more than a year), made it so it was billed as a head to head choice. That’s the reason it gets focused on so much.

This is for cloudydays
Words by Wordsworth with help from your friends, DTL and idol.
He WANDERED lonely: cloudydays
who floats on high o’er Corvallis hills,
When all at once he caught a gaze,
A host, of golden yogurt girls;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay: 10
Ten thousand saw he at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced but hung,
Out-done, by their sparkling waves in glee:
Cloudy could not but help be sprung,
In such a jocund company:
He gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to him had brought:
For oft, when on his couch he lies
In tears and endless solitude, 20
They flash upon that wayward eye
Which is the solace of the crude;
And then his shorts with pleasure fills,
And dances with the yogurt girls.

LeBrachelor
LeBron James is planning to announce the team with which he will sign during a one-hour special on ESPN Thursday night, ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Broussard has learned through independent sources.
ESPN would only confirm that active discussions for the special are ongoing. But sources tell Broussard that representatives for James contacted the network, proposing that James makes his announcement during a 9 p.m. ET special.
Those sources said that James’ representatives requested they be allowed to sell sponsorship for the one-hour special, with the proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and that ESPN agreed to the proposal but had not been told what James has decided.
Simmons mailbag in November of last year:
Q: You know how when top recruits in basketball or football make their college decision, they often call a press conference and put the three hats of the schools that made the final three in front of them … then pick up the hat of the school of choice and put it on? What if LeBron announces he will pick his 2010-11 team live on ABC on a certain date for a show called "LeBron’s Choice?" What type of crazy ratings would that get?
— Drew, Columbus, Ohio
SG: "LeBron’s Choice" sounds too much like a Lifetime movie — like, he became the first NBA player to make himself pregnant and now he can’t decide whether to give up the baby for adoption or not. I’d go with something more newsy, like "Decision 2010: LeBron’s Verdict" or "The LeBron Sweepstakes." Actually, it might make more sense to make this a six-episode show, along the lines of "The Bachelor" — maybe "The LeBrachelor"? — in which he’d start out with 29 GMs, then narrow them down to eight, then six, then four, then three, then two, then one.
Regardless, you’re right — this should be a televised event. If LeBron were smart, he would market the event through his company, sell the rights to a network and reveal his choice on that show. We know what the offers will be. (New York, Miami, Chicago, Memphis, New Jersey, the Clips and the Zombie Sonics can offer the max. Cleveland could offer the max plus an extra year. Nobody else could offer as much.) It’s a cut-and-dry thing. So why not? He could even make it pay-per-view. If people were willing to pay $44.99 for a UFC 106 card headlined by Jenna Jameson’s washed-up husband fighting a guy who hadn’t won in two years, I’m pretty sure they’ll pony up $44.99 for "Decision 2010: LeBron’s Verdict."

I may not like his arrogance, or the fact that he’s a Laker, but when he talks about basketball you can tell his heart and his focus is all about basketball. Lebron is more and more just about the spectacle of being a star, and being a legend before he has really done anything.

Pick a comment you want to link to.
Go to the bottom of that comment, right-click the date, and choose “Copy Link Location” from the menu. The link is now ready to be pasted wherever you like.
Link it the usual way (type up a word, highlight it and click the chain, then paste the link in there). Now here’s the key: If you’re linking to a comment on the same page, do NOT click “open in new window”. If you’re linking to a comment on a different page, you do click that option.
By not clicking “open in new window”, it just moves you up the page to the comment, but doesn’t change the unread status of anything on the page. Pretty handy. Try it out in a reply.

It’s the best part of doing it this way.
You open up the poster's profile page
And click the comment you wanna link to. Then you will have the address that goes right to it when linked to it.
Then, just copy and paste and make the link like normal.
There is likely a smarter way.

What's the haps?
I would say word is bomb but with greg’s new do the phrase has been changed to “greg is bomb”
Lookin' like I might get three hundred bucks back from my screwed up tax situation.
Yay that would be cool.
Anyone who has tax experience, feel welcome to help me here.
But what I’m understanding now is that UW screwed up my numbers, but Student Fiscal Services won’t talk to Financial Aid and rectify the matter. However, the 1098-T form is only for my information and isn’t sent to the IRS; I have a transaction log of everything that went into my student account, and those numbers mesh with what I received and expected to pay in tax. So I’m just going to document my income/tuition costs based upon the actual transaction log and not the SFS’s approximation.
This seems intuitive… anyone think I should be worried?
Follow the 1098-T
And what it says unless you have real good accounting otherwise. It may or may not be submitted but you don’t want to be challenging it if it is.
I’ve done that form before, I know exactly what you mean.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It's dang frustrating.
They messed up my aid, and so the guy fudged the numbers to make everything work out. Now the SFS numbers make no sense and they won’t listen to me.
me too
I literally had to argue with them for an entire term last year. From the beginning of all term to the very end of it because they lost my parents’ tax forms, then they decided to change the forms when we gave them to them again. After all of this they tried charging me a late fee because I hadn’t paid my tuition yet. WELL YA DUMMIES IT’S CAUSE YOU TOOK MY FINANCIAL AID!!
"Bof teemz play hahd"
I've had that happen a few times
Because they didn’t credit my tuition remission on time. I politely threatened them, that worked.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yeah, I got them to drop the fee
but I was still pissed off at them, not only for the attempted late fee but all the other crap they had done for that full term. It’s left a bitter taste in my mouth towards PSU and now I’m having trouble saying anything good about the school.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
Having gone to a small private college
Grinnell’s administration wasn’t much better (they all struggle at that sort of thing).
The only thing that made it work all the time was the President of the school was my adviser my first two years and so he could get stuff done (we’re a small school so I lucked into that).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Ah, nice.
it’s not just the FA office that pissed me off, though that was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. They’re Japanese program is horrendous, to the extent that when an assistant professor came over from Japan he laughed out loud at the textbook several times because it’s so outdated and poorly written.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
It is uneven of course
By contrast, the public administration program I’m in is in the top 2 or 3 in the country, up with the likes of Harvard, Syracuse and Indiana.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That's annoying.
They did this screwy thing at PSU where they credited my tuition remission part of my graduate assistanship and debited my tuition in different years. I had to get them to fix it.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Remember that it is ONLY your tutition costs minus scholarships and grants
Not any other costs such as books, etc.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
So books do or don't count?
I didn’t count them originally, but the tax stuff I’m reading online is super vague as to what counts and what doesn’t.
Its only direct costs
So what you pay directly to the school.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
My mother is an ex-tax accountant
So that’s her interpretation.
Interesting story, she used to do the taxes for the Blazers back in the late 70s/early 80s because as the only woman at her level at her firm the thought was that she cared least about the team and would be unbiased.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

Although in Portland its only a matter of degree of insanity among Blazer fans.

So predictions for tomorrow's semi?
I’ll be off JD (in the former home of the Sonics) til Friday night.
Going to the Ms-Yankees game in the club level Thursday, should be fun (friend’s company’s seats).
I’ll say Spain 2-Germany 1.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
hmm, I am almost certain Germany score more than 1 goal
but Spain are having trouble scoring more than 1 and I very very much want them to win this. I’ll say an optimistic 3-2 for Spain
"Bof teemz play hahd"
I almost said 3-2 but backed off
If Germany scores first, they win, their counterattack is about the best I’ve ever seen.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
eek
if Germany go to PKs, they’re almost certainly going to win it. That team is a force when it comes to penalties.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
Its such a crap shoot
Spain’s GK>Germany’s but you never know, its hard to pick at that point.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Nate Silver has it right
Its right about at 50-50 on who wins, this is as even as they come.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
ehh, more like 70% Germany
of course I’m biased from the history of walloping us on PKs Germany has, but even without that, they’re known for being skilled
"Bof teemz play hahd"
and also, note that I mentioned above I really want Germany to lose
earlier today when the Dutch won I was walking around my house saying “down wiz ze Germans, down wiz ze Germans” over and over.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
ha, I know
but still, Germany are often considered the best there has ever been when it comes to penalties. Though Spain are likely pretty great too. It would be a very intense shootout, certainly.
