I AM the junk drawer 8/12

PrintYou ever see something you really like but just can't support, How do I say this better ... OK, Jerome Kersey played for the L*kers for a while. Got me? Well I always liked the NRA's slogan. I remember growing up my dad's buddies always had "I Am the NRA" bumper stickers. Can't remember if Dad had one or not. I love that slogan, even if I feel the organization has dubious intentions.
More examples? Nazi uniforms were super nifty looking. Most things made of non-biodegradable plastic. Hummers and large aircraft. Fake boobs. Nixon, I mean the guy is so easy to vilify (especially if you listen to the tapes) but at the same time, he establishes the EPA and rams through the Clean Water Act (Hello... paging Mr. Obama!).
What else: I dig children's minds and smiles, but hate dealing with them. I adore pizza but I'm a bigger fan of the sauce than the cheese. I LOVE many many drugs but think they are bad for me, and thus I don't like them. I like the idea of reading long dry books, but then start and quit a few pages in. I'll buy a friend's record but maybe only play it once, even if I love the person. I like brickabrack crap, but hate the clutter after a while.

Regarding war uniforms, I like the old Confederate garb. That's mainly due to my fondness for grey, though.
Politically, I appreciate the candor of men like U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and reformer Ralph Nader; that’s in spite my fiscal conservatism, too.

There's a reason you only get so far into long dry books
and it’s because they are long dry books.
Say, if you go to the movies, are you going to go watch a documentary about WWII? Nothing against them of course, they have their place. But when you go to the movies you want to see action, drama, explosions, suspence etc.! Occasionally you might see it for the storyline, wierder things have happened. So people assume when you read a book, it has to be some long dry book about important events. A good book is one that you start reading, then look up and, holy crap, its 3 AM and you are over halfway through.
Of course looking back, if you at least like the idea of a long dry book, then you probably have read a bit and I’m preaching to the choir. I just get so annoyed that so little people read, had to vent a little.
Portland could coast along with their superior talent and stay right with us. Now that Portland woke up, the hammer cometh down.
Bayless > Daffy Duck after 3 cans of rockstar
Vent away.
the worst is a book on my nightstand now that is some 800 pages. The first 100 pages were awesome and I loved every word. But then the second 200 or so I read were torture. Awful. So I read the dust jacket closer and discovered the first bit was written in the 1970s for a magazine and the rest in the 1990s or something. It’s so obvious too. It goes from a total 70s feel to cell phones and such.
I haven’t picked it up in months.

There are very few women that look really better with fake boobs. 1 out of 10 would probably be a lot.
Especially if they go for the super large look on a slim body. First, if you have no fat on your body, chances that you developed big boobs are slim to none so it looks disproportional. Second, scars in plain sight if they got done with the old techniques and not via the armpits unless you have outstanding healing properties. Third, wrinkles or ripples if the implants contain too much liquid and thus are filled too tight or were positioned not optimally (above or below the muscle, don’t ask me I’m not a plastic surgeon) all of the time or some of the time. It just will look fake fake fake unless the surgeon was great both in execution and in estimating the final result and you had realistic wishes about your future proportions to begin with. Just be who you are, it will look better and feel better either instantly or at least in the long run. Those things were developed for rare medical problems for a reason and their inflationary use was never intended.
But the last time we discussed fake boobs it went overboard (Tom and Morti were involved), so in the interest of Timmay I’ll stop here :)

How many of you guys own smart phones? Specifically, iPhones? Now how do you afford one? I don’t get how iPhones became some popular. I know the use of Apps changed a lot as well as the prices. But it just seems so mind bogglingly expensive still…
Blazers basketball? Just basketball you say? More like a way of life
Those have come down as well and will continue to do so. Connectivity is a commodity.
5 years ago data plans where prohibitively expensive unless your company paid for them, just like regular cellphone service back in the day. Now you can get mobile data plans at the price of DSL contracts a few years ago.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
But that's only if you're upgrading or starting a new contract, correct?
Otherwise it’s up to $400.
And $200 for an 8GB as opposed to 16GB.
Monthly fees are about $30 a month per person correct? Depending on various plans and services with AT&T. I guess that’s not too bad if you consider the price of a regular cell phone and calling plan.
Oh well. I just have a little old flip phone that I’m satisfied with. I’m just curious about all the rage since so many of my friends now have smart phones.

I think you get the gist
Umpqua: "Just follow the dead government proof link to find out."
by 92wastheyear on Aug 12, 2010 10:27 AM PDT up reply actions
Here's the thing.
Say two different people are giving me a wedgie because I asked them to do something for me. The fact that one of the two people will secretly allow me to negotiate for 10% less wedgie per year, but only if I ask them for a wedgie reduction, doesn’t make them a better deal or a better option than the other company, who openly told me my wedgie quota in advance, and has scheduled wedgie time increases.
Here is the deal ...wedgies aside (and I suspect you know all this)
You can get simple standardized pricing any time you want from Comcast or any other cable company (Charter when I lived in Medford…Bend Broadband when I lived there). You pick the package you want and you can get the same price all year long (there will be an annual price increase…just like the power company..but otherwise it stays basically the same).
However what we are talking about here is promotional pricing. Price points that are designed for new customers (to entice them to sign up) and are in effect for a limited time (3 months, 6 months, 12 months …whatever) ….and this is disclosed up front. When the promotional time period is over….the regular prices take effect (the ones mentioned above).
So what happens when these promo prices expire …well the customer gets a bill (in advance) with the new pricing and at that point they have a choice….continue with the same package at the regular price (this is, in fact, what most people do…the numbers bear this out)…or you call up the provider and make a change….Either lower the level of service or disconnect altogether. The provider doesn’t want to lose the customer so many times( hell …most times) they are offered another promotional price to keep them. This is what you guys have been calling negotiating your rate.
You talk about how you would like to not have to go through this process…and I agree. I would much rather just have a flat rate and go with that …but I am more pragmatic…the fact is that the other pay TV providers (see cable isn’t a monopoly…and hasn’t been for a long time) will just come out with a lower promo price and cherry pick your customers away…and I suspect it would the very people who complain the most about the way business is done now (not you of course…but others), who would jump at the chance to defect for that 6 month promo price.
Now I anticipate that you will say that just because other providers play that game doesn’t mean you have to…I would only say that I am old enough to remember what the world was like before DTV…the cable companies were just like what you are pining for…basically it was “Here’s what we got…here is what it costs…take it or leave it”….unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) those days are long gone and you have much more choice. But competition breeds this approach…and I believe it is here to stay. And..lastly I don’t blame DTV (and nobody else does either) and will not jump on the bash Comcast bandwagon for doing business the way the current climate demands.

it’s interesting—at the heart of this matter is… our food system. We feed cows at the feed lot handfuls of antibodies, all the time. If we didn’t they wouldn’t make it through the nasty lot. So, as a result ecoli is now almost immune… it’s crazy. the world is crazy.

I’m not sure what’s natural about a feed lot. I agree, that the economics of nature, mainly bacteria seeking to persists, will mutate and become immune. But, a main cause here is beholding to human economics—namely we’re sacrificing the utility of our antibodies for the sake of keeping burgers on the dollar menu. In nature, cows eat grass, which in the ruminant kills ecoli. In feed lots, cows eat corn. In addition to not eating grass, the cows are packed in, living in their own poop. Living in owns poop is not very natural. This all requires a massive antibiotic milkshake everyday to keep the cows alive.

it’s pretty messed up. i would guess in our lifetime, commercial fishing will also give way to fish farms, which will be fed on corn (which they’re working on right now—corn is very bad for a lot of fish). this will be like how chasing buffalo was replaced w/ cows.

Grazing cattle might be "natural"
but it’s not sustainable. Cows ruin the land, tearing grass out down to the roots. Grazing means that you’re going to have to develop fewer cows for much more land. It’s just not practical.
Just as the article talks about the power of evolution (Man I feel like Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park), you can’t ignore the power of demand. If people want hamburgers on the dollar menu, then they’ll pay for them regardless of the conditions that they purchase that burger.
There definitely needs to be some changes in American farms. I’m all too familiar with the waste management, which isn’t just disgusting but hazardous. However, coming up with the right solution isn’t easy.

you can make grazing sustainable, if you rotate your pastures—don’t let the cows double graze the grass, and then use chickens to pick through cow pies… and rotate.
this farm is function on a closed system, ie, zero waste. it’s way beyond anything organic.

But most of today's industrial farms only employ one livestock
instead of your average family farm like this one. I’m somewhat familiar with other tactics to improve farms like no till farming (THANK YOU AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE!), so hopefully we can see these techniques being employed. But I’m somewhat cynical about just how effective they are. If they’re as great as some people tout them to be, then I’m baffled as to why they’re not being used right now.

well, it really goes back to legislation. we subsidize corn. and corn is a super plant. we can grow the crap out of it; it stores well, we can break it down and rebuild other stuffs w/ it. from the super cheap corn, we build the rest of our food system. we prostrate before ‘efficiency’ and go… the only way things will realistically change is with good legislation, which will necessarily not beholding to corporate interests. in the meantime, you can be angry at yore govdament and do your best to shop consciously and responsibly.

I saw a study a couple of years ago that indicated
much of our e coli problems in beef could be solved by putting cows back on a grass diet for 30 days before slaughter. That alone nearly cleans up their digestive system, meaning much, much less e coli is transferred to the meat during slaughter.

it is overly processed – very much like many things in america. Most of the country has the taste buds of Mortimer (sorry Timmay! I couldn’t resist calling a person out by name.)
Even the imported ones seemed worse than they are in their country of origin
Yoplait is da bomb in France and Switzerland, and tasted like junk here. And the packaging was way dumb designed so you couldn’t get anything out. Denmark’s Arla and some German and Italian companies make very nice yogurt too, and some supermarket chains have their white label producers that are good.
The Greek yogurt is okay, but still not all that great. One from Nestle was the closest to its original, but I’m not a big fan of it.

I like japanese yogurt, even though it is processed too. They put some kinda gelatin in it. It is springy AND yummy.
I love Tiramisu yogurt. And as a child I had a chocolate yogurt with a more solid layer on top and softer below which was perfect but is now hard to find. And I like a number of fruity flavors. I have a harder time giving up yogurt than any sweets.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!
‘NBA 2K11’ mode places rookie Michael Jordan in today’s league
ESPN reports this year’s NBA title from 2K Sports will feature a mode called “MJ: Creating a Legend.” Players will take control of Jordan as a rookie and guide him to legendary status on any NBA squad.
“He is rated a 79 overall, which gives you plenty of room to improve, but he has all of the physical tools of Michael as a rookie — the fast speed, the high jumping, the quickness — but he lacks a lot of the shooting skills and the offensive and defensive awareness,” NBA 2K11 producer Erick Boenisch tells ESPN.
As Jordan completes seasons during the mode, players will see his appearance change as he ages.
Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks.

You’re into a hip trip.
Maybe hipper than hip.

You became a part of a new breed.
Been smokin’ only the best weed.

Seen with just the right faces.

In an effort to find you a new you,
And maybe even raise your consciousness level.
While you’re striving to find the right road,
There’s one thing you should know:
What is hip today, might become passe.
Think about it y’all.
What is hip?
Ahhhhhhhhh!
What is hip?

sorta sounds like he admits to giving up in the playoffs:
sorry, google translator:
For the first time all year I started Phoenix. In the first game I think I did three shots [were seven] and the second two. After that I went back up again because Bayless was playing well and was the holder. Then I had a little more prominence with outside shots because Roy was already on track and opened more spaces. I’ve always had good attitude and tried to have it, but there were times I felt frustrated and this was reflected in the track. She looked in my face, my gestures. That’s what I had to learn: that sometimes can do well and others, but you must always try to help your team and leave the rest aside. I think that was very selfish on my part. I’ve learned, I’ve grown a lot mentally and made me mature a lot.
If someone can please translate, I’d appreciate:
Por primera vez en todo el año fui titular en Phoenix. En el primer partido creo que hice tres tiros [fueron siete] y en el segundo dos. Después ya fui reserva otra vez porque Bayless estaba jugando bien y se quedó de titular. Luego tuve un poco más de protagonismo con tiros exteriores porque Roy ya estaba en pista y abría más espacios. Yo siempre he tenido buena actitud y he intentado tenerla, pero sí que había veces que me sentía frustrado y eso se reflejaba en la pista. Se veía en mis caras, en mis gestos. Eso es lo que tenía que aprender: que unas veces puede ir bien y otras más, pero siempre tienes que intentar ayudar a tu equipo y dejar el resto a un lado. Creo que eso fue muy egoísta por mi parte. Ya lo he aprendido, he crecido mucho mentalmente y me ha hecho madurar muchísimo.
dunno
twiggs maybe?
I think it is saying “it appeared in my gestures and facial expressions”. “IT” meaning no confidence, I guess.
It's mentioned elsewhere that the genders are not correct.
I think the team was listed as “she” in the translation.
That's a fair translation
He definitely talks about how he got too full of himself but he’s learned to be a better more humble man.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I think you can get the whole meaning with the google one. I hope this looks better, but you won´t find anything new:
For the first time in the whole year, I was a starter in Phoenix. In that first game I think I took three shots (actually were 7), and two in the second one. Then I went back to the second unit because Bayless was playing well and he got the starting. After that, I had a little bit more participation, shooting from distance, because Roy was on the court and he opened spaces. I have always had a good attitude and I have always tried to, but sometimes I was frustrated and you could see that on the court. You could see that in my face, in my gestures. That is what I had to learn: sometimes things go right and sometimes more (more right?- usually here we would say “wrong” but Rudy says “more”), but you always have to try to help your team, and let everything else aside. I think that was very selfish. I have already learnt, I have grown a lot mentally and I have matured very much.

I wouldn't mind a lockout, if it's used to help resolve some of the ongoing problems
If one lockout now prevents two strikes later, fine.
So,,,,,here is a question for the group
Do feel LMA stepped up and played better when Roy was injured?? About the same? Or worse?
Umpqua: "Just follow the dead government proof link to find out."
Yes and no
Once we got Camby he played better, no doubt there.
LMA tends to get better as the season goes along though, so its hard to separate the trend.

I agree with this. I think it is more of an attitude thing. When Roy was out, LMA didn’t appear to try and pick up the intensity, so his effore remained the same regardless of whether Roy was in or out.
He needs to believe he can attack inside
He is a good FT shooter and jumpers are always going to be less consistent for him (or most any player).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Well...keep this in mind
The majority of games Roy missed to injury happened before the All-star break…which was pre-Camby too I think…so that would factor into the question for sure

I have tried going mountain biking on the North Umpqua trail twice. The first time I got sick on the way up and could only go a little ways. The second time a crashed (not uncommon), and bent the wheel way out of shape. I tried bending the wheel back into shape, but this evidently severely damaged the integrity of the wheel. Everytime I hit a bump in the trail, it would bend out of shape again. My conlusion is that a higher power must not want me to go mountain biking.

There are various rumors about this
a) It’s the CDMA Verizon iPhone (meh, not credible)
b) They had manufacturing problems with it, resulting in 3-4 different shades of white
c) They couldn’t produce enough black iPhones anyway, and thus had all lines run the standard model
d) Now that they are late anyway, they are waiting to release it until they have fixed the antenna problems somewhat.

far too high. also, mariska hargitay at 375k an episode? wow.
hamm should get about as much as hugh laurie, imo
of course the difference is network vs cable actors. if dexter, breaking bad, mad men, etc. were on network TV, those actors would be paid much more i think
yeah the network vs. cable thing is a big factor, I'm sure.
just sucks that the really good actors are the ones on cable tv.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
It's a ratings thing
Also, Laurie has been on the show for lots of years, which leads to automatic raises in pay thanks to SAG (this applies to Sheen too).
Network ratings are down compared to previous generations, but they’re still bringing in tons of ratings compared to most “popular” cable shows, with exceptions like (previously) Monk, The Closer, and Burn Notice, which are shows that would likely be very successful on network TV.
The edgier the show, the more scared the main Networks get. Partially because of how many edgy shows have been critically acclaimed but low rated. At last check, despite the buzz, Mad Men really doesn’t do that great in the ratings, even for cable:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Mad Men” might need a new ad campaign.
Viewership of AMC’s much-hyped Madison Avenue soap has plunged 24 percent three episodes into its fourth season.
Also, here's a much more depressing note about those numbers:
Reuters has the numbers from the TV Guide analysis , and it says Gosselin, 35, is getting $250,000 per episode from TLC for the successor show to "Jon & Kate Plus 8." (That number was first reported by USA Today in July.)
Kate Gosselin also picked up a reported $600,000 from “Dancing With The Stars.”
Stars making less than Kate include Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice) $200,000; Nathan Fillion (Castle) $100,000; Jon Hamm (Mad Men) $100,000; and Alex O’Loughlin (Hawaii Five-0) $100,000.
I’ll reserve comment because I don’t think it would be nice.
yeah I don't have anything nice to say about this either.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
And on if the show would exist without that star
Still some ridiculous salaries, though movie stars are even more extreme.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
The audience Laurie brings as House for Fox
is at least an order of magnitude larger that the audience brought in by Hamm in Mad Men. And that’s a major factor in salaries.

DAVIE, Fla. — Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall said Thursday that if NFL teams lock out the players next year, he will try out for the NBA.
Marshall said he plans to audition for either the Denver Nuggets or the Miami Heat.
“My first team will be the Nuggets and my second team will be the Heat — I’m serious,” Marshall said.
Asked to clarify whether he will pursue a basketball career if there is no NFL season in 2011, Marshall said: “Not pursuing — I’m going to be on an NBA team. Seriously.”
Marshall said he was good enough to play shooting guard professionally.

There are multiple definitions of "should"
“Should” meaning “they managed the paper poorly so it’s natural that it will end” is of course very different from “should” meaning “the area doesn’t need it anymore, so it’s not providing anything”
I figure it’s an important distinction. SW Washington will lose a lot of local news with the loss of the Columbian, no matter how mediocre it is now.

you guys are h8ers. i like most of the 95.5 lineup.
i don’t know why people have to find so much to dislike.

it's the callers that I hate.
I don’t even know how the lineup is any more because I got so incredibly fed up with radio callers that I had to stop listening.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
seems that the majority of people in the JD have strong negative opinions about everything associated with the team, other than the players
Wouldn’t you agree? The announcers (TV and radio), former sideline reporter, halftime entertainment, TV deal, front office, pretty much everything.
them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
yes
many bedgers hate everything about our team. i dont understand why they’re fans.
Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks.
i didnt say you have to like everything
i said people that hate everything
Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks.
No, but you seem to think you are a better than everyone else here
since you don’t dislike anything about the team.
There are plenty of things that the organization can do better. It’s the same with every team.
i don't think it's a blazers issue, it's a humanity issue. people like to be unhappy about stuff.
them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
We had generations of disliked GM's
Then basically everyone had a love-in with KP.
Portland has divided fans with some of their decisions. It happens often in the sports world.

especially the announcers. I’m surprised how much people hate those guys.

But everything else I think is just hating for the sake of hating. it’s amazing how bitter blazers fans are about everything since we are “the best fans in the NBA”

Why is it so important for talk radio to be stupid? Why couldn’t we have a Bob Costas-type guy in the mornings. How about Mike Parker every morning? Especially in Portland – you would think that they would rather try to appeal to smart people rather than stupid people.
But they’re doing the same thing up in Seattle with their talk shows too. I mean, who would willingly listen to Softy if they had a choice of a smart person instead?
GOP in HD
It's a fair complaint.
But it could also be some questionable Blazer decisions too. I liked many of the previous announcers, and I think Mike and Mike would be great if they toned down the “he traveled with the ball”, “the refs messed that call up” stuff. Just call the game straight.
I don’t see the halftime show on League Pass.
The front office has earned some derision with recent handlings.
The TV deal? There should be no complaints about that?
On the other hand, people like almost every player on the team, though some people have one player they just have to rail about.

Hey ,Norsk
you liked Alan Wake quite a bit, right? I can get it for like 22 dollars right now and I’m trying to debate if that’s what I should use my late birthday check for ( I didn’t win the Casavettes boxset I was biding on recently).
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
is it short?
probably a good idea since there are lots of games I want to buy. but 22 bucks seemed irresistible
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Yes it's quite short
It was worth it to me since it is a good concept and has a number of sweet moments, but you easily can play it through in a long weekend. I’ve played it through a second time, but there is repetitiveness in the fighting style and the game assists you quite a bit. It’s not a title you will go back to again and again and again like the Rockstar games.
My second favorite right now is Limbo as a download on Xbox Live. Great little game, though you literally only walk from left to right and have two buttons. But that simple concept gets amazingly interesting, and the style is great. It’s the first game by another Scandinavian studio (Alan Wake is too, and set in the Pacific NW).
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
okay, cool.
I’ll probably just wait, maybe rent it eventually. It does look like a game I would really enjoy though. Also, I keep hearing great things about Limbo(and not just from you ;-) ). I’ll probably end up picking that up, I still have extra xbox live points from when i bought the 4000 point card last year.

CBA update from Ken Berger
http://ken-berger.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/11838893/23851350
First, there seems to be agreement on both sides that something needs to be done to improve the competitive balance of the league. How to do it, however, remains hotly contested. The players believe many of the owners’ woes can be solved through broader revenue sharing, for which they included a plan in their proposal. The owners continue to believe that how the owners divvy up hundreds of millions in annual losses doesn’t solve the problem that expenses are too high.
Sources also revealed new details of the players’ proposal, which National Basketball Players Association executive director Billy Hunter has declined to specifically discuss publicly. In perhaps the first concession of the year-long negotiations, sources say the players have proposed issuing owners a credit on their books for capital improvements to their arenas. The Knicks, who are investing as much as $850 million to renovate Madison Square Garden, would benefit handsomely from such a provision. The players presented this as a way to encourage owners to modernize old arenas and thus create additional revenue streams.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Now I see why Portland isn't jumping to sign Greg
The owners are looking to strengthen provisions to disincentive team-jumping, because 29 owners are very upset at what happened this Summer.
So it’s very unlikely they’d allow more player jumping after this CBA ends.
Thanks for the link.
it's funny that
First, there seems to be agreement on both sides that something needs to be done to improve the competitive balance of the league.

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
So, I'm still not in support of taking away people's guns, but i'm starting to think it's really stupid to have one easily accessible.
So the day my uncle killed himself, he and my aunt had been having another conversation about his alcoholism, which has been going on for a few years. He’s been through rehab once, and after coming out of that, bought a breathalyzer so my aunt could ask him to use it if she ever felt the need. For a few years she didn’t. Then he started drinking again, although he had always been an expert at hiding it. She couldn’t ever find the stuff, and whenever she would ask him to use the breathalyzer, he’d say he had just used mouthwash, so the results wouldn’t be accurate. His doctor gave him a medication that is supposed to help with withdrawal symptoms, but it sounds like it can also have the side effect of making people aggressive.
Last Wednesday morning, they had been discussing his problem again, and he tried to make promises about stopping. His habit was to make promises while drunk, which he would have forgotten by the time he sobered up. Same situation this time, but my aunt didn’t want to have the same conversation again since he wouldn’t remember anyway. She basically told him they’d talk about it when he sobered it, and walked out of the bedroom. He then rolled over in bed, grabbed a gun from under the nightstand and shot himself in the head, apparently with almost zero time to think about it. She had only gotten a few steps down the hall. My impression when I found out last week was that it was a thought-out decision on his part, but it sounds like that wasn’t the case.
My uncle is a rocket scientist, literally. He worked with Lockheed Martin for decades, and had clearance higher than top secret. Hard to believe he made such a stupid decision on a whim.

Oh my gosh man, that is terrible. I am so sorry that this happened. I had a couple moments when I lived with my dad, where the fact that there was a gun in the house really terrified me.
When things weren’t so good between us, not like they are now, we had a talk that kind of alluded to us both being very aware of where that gun and the bullets were. It was the only time we ever talked about it, and the whole conversation still terrifies me. The problem I have with guns is if someone is not in a good state of mind they can make a split second decision that is instantly final, as you so terribly have experienced. Once again I, and my girl are so sorry to hear about this. Much love man.

Very interesting tidbits released tonight, that help make sense of Simon’s role in the Season 3 finale.

I have cable but always end up missing things so I just got in the habit of waiting a day, unless it’s a finale. Friday’s are always good days cause I have Burn Notice, Futurama and Psych to watch(even though Psych is a Wednesday show, I usually don’t get to it til Friday).

SNL did a thing on it too. :)
The answer, of course, is a large cable audience.
A lot of sci-fi geeks watch it for Bruce Campbell.
That's a calculated risk by Aziz.
He must feel his demographics don’t cross with the show much. If people don’t watch it, they laugh. If they do watch it, they think, “I don’t identify with your humor as much”.
well we can' really tell
if there were more than five seconds to that clip maybe he explains the joke a bit better. Also, I started watching it because of Campbell, but I keep watching it cause it’s a good show.

Something I hate
I am watching Patriots and Saints (sorta)…They have Don Criqui and Randy Cross calling the game…..and Criqui keeps saying that such and such player was the #1 pick of so and so team….latest example was him talking about Jeremy Shockey being “the #1 pick of the New York Giants”…Hey there dill-hole….he was a first round pick…not a #1 pick. He was selected 14th overall, dumb zach!!

according to those guys every single team gets a #1 pick each year…

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
It seems exaggerated for a player who can’t defend his position, but at the top of his game he was at least as good as Z-Bo last year in the post. And Z-Bo had a pretty good year in Memphis. I suspect Sloan and Williams will make it pretty easy for Big Al to score in bunches. If you can run plays for Boozer, you can run plays for Jefferson.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Can big Al step out a bit
it seems he struggles with his shot from +10’ where Boozer was pretty money from inside 17’
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I think Boozer's success in Sloan's system was fueled in large part by his passing ability.
I have my doubts about Jefferson replacing him.

So, I don't think I've talked about it a lot, but this summer I got a nice pay raise along with a lot more responsibility.
My boss put me in charge of a major remodel at the U of P that’s been pretty consuming over the last couple months. I’ve been responsible for all of the layouts for the job, scheduling all of our installations, overseeing multiple people in the shop as they create and assemble all of our elements, and have been acting as the liaison between us, the architects, our subs and the general contractors. I’ve been to many meetings of all contractors, twenty people or more in a room together and have acted as our representative.
This is all new to me. I’ve built a lot of high end jobs for the shop but have only overseen at most 2-3 employees and have had limited clerical responsibilities as well as having limited responsibilities with regard to deadlines handed down by the GC’s. So this has been a big learning experience, with the greatest leap occurring in my philosophy towards work and stress management.
So anyways, there have been setbacks, the most major of which have had nothing to do with us. The flooring contractor that had initially been hired, screwed up the mix on a self-leveling, epoxy based floor material and the floor didn’t self-level. It actually looked like a windswept desert in the cafeteria, and the GC ended up firing them to get someone else in who would have to grind the floor down, stain it, seal it and polish it. This process took two weeks. The original flooring contractor had one week in which the floor was supposed to be complete, and they botched it, so essentially all of the contractors lost two weeks on the job while we all waited for the floor to be fixed.
Needless to say, this threw our schedule all out of whack, and I have spent the last month scrambling to catch back up with our deadline, and managed to come in with all of our parts missing the original deadline by only one day. The deadline was yesterday, and I brought the final parts out today. I was pretty proud of this, my boss is happy, the GC is okay with this, (This deadline was the proposed deadline, and the deadline I was to push our employees to meet, but I was told by the project manager that there was a secret deadline which occurs next week, in which we actually have to be done.)
So anyways, I know this is getting long winded, but I have been a giant ball of stress this summer, because on top of this, as you all know, I started my business at the same time. I’ve been waiting for today all summer long.
Now, to the crappy part. My boss hired a stone company, one that was recommended highly, and one that’s in good standing among contractors and we had no reason to believe that anything would go wrong. Long story short, there is not one area on this job that they put stone, that they did not screw up. They cracked stone, they mangled joints, they got overhangs wrong, way wrong, they left gaps that were much too large and tried to fill them in with caulking, without putting backing rod behind it so it sagged down below surface level. There are places that should have been polished that weren’t, and they generally made us look terrible.
I guess I’m just being a complainer, but it was like I had spent two months making the greatest ice cream sundae that had ever been imagined by mankind, and giving someone who was recommended to us highly by people who said that he was an expert in whipped cream creation and placement of the cream, the responsibility to put the topping on my crown jewel, only to find that he had pooped in the whipped cream.
My whipped cream got pooped in.

That’s the problem in managing larger projects. You have way more responsibility than you have authority over, much less direct influence and control. Sometimes zach happens. It sounds like what you could directly control worked well, any you did the best with a supplier that has a good reputation, so you can’t really blame yourself. If you can get them to clean up the remaining mess so that the customer is happy without making the project economically unviable, that would be nice.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
yeah, that's pretty much my attitude about it.
I know the poor job he did was not a direct reflection on me or the work we have done this summer, and his finished product was well out of my control. So I’ve made peace with it somewhat, but it does hurt a little bit to see our nice work topped with something that is just so indicative of someone who doesn’t care about the quality of work they produce, and in that respect our work is tarnished by its proximity. While I can separate his work from ours in my mind, anyone who will look at the finished product will deem his work shoddy, and ours unfortunately will be looked at in the same light.

Jacque de Molay, thou art avenged!
Origin of Friday the 13th jitters.
“In a dawn raid on Friday, October 13, 1307, Jacques de Molay and sixty of his Templar brothers were arrested. Philip then had the Templars charged with heresy and many other trumped-up charges, most of which were identical to the charges which had previously been leveled by Philip’s agents against Pope Boniface VIII.”
Born Naked
I just got the one of the hardest stars I've ever worked for in a Mario game.
the Silver Stars in Double Time comet star in the Beat Block Galaxy, for anyone else who has played it. Jiminy freaking cricket that level was hard for me.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
The star I finally gave up on
Was when you’re in the secret level of the ice world, and need to skate around breaking balloons for points. For some reason, I just couldn’t reach the point level, no matter how many times I did it.
ohhh yeah that one took me a few tries
but then i memorized the pattern and I ended up managing to grab 620 points. I got a gold balloon literally at the last second. I rejoiced ,but not like I rejoiced just now. I honestly just jumped up and down fist pumping. I thought I would never be able to get this star, spent about 45 minutes on it last night and ending up having to give up on the game for the night cause I was so frustrated. Thankfully my girlfriend thinks it’s cute and not overly nerdy that I get so excited over a freaking star in Mario.
