Mia Farrow was in Bonnie and Clyde, right?

She was attractive

Mia Farrow...not attractive.

Look at her in “Hannah & Her Sisters” when she was 40-41 years old.

Now look at Jennifer Aniston at age 42 or the great Diane Lane at 46.

In fairness to Beetleberg

Houston is not a very smart franchise, Murphy has a local value to them, and Mendez/Hanser is a decent prospect value haul (70 FBs with developing secondaries and MIFs with 70 hit tools aren’t doodoo).

Kirkman is… maybe he’d be ok throwing to pitchers 11 per cent of the time you guys.

I had forgotten about Brett Walrus

And thought Lee was playing 1B.

I think they’d go for Murphy playing LF, but given that the spot isn’t open… yeah, it’s worse than I thought it was when I posted that.

Plus, I don’t know that Houston would want to balance the value out across time like that, with two MLish pieces and two A-ball pieces. I can see where they’d value possibly getting some cheap vets to fill in spots (if the report that they wanted to get payroll down to 60 next season are true) on the ML club, but given the craptastic overall quality of the franchise, I think they’d go for more lower end, high ceiling types.

Who that is, I don’t know.

How much worse would that trade be than the Haren trade?

Get the local kid in Murphy as well as another guy they could conceivably put in the majors right away

Bourn is not the kind of guy you are going to make a franchise altering trade with. And given the state of their team its going to take them several years to rebuild and reload. So getting 2 ML ready guys back, with one being a local guy you can market somehow and draw fans from, along with 2 lower level lotto tickets with good tools seems like the right move here.

I doubt any team would give up more than 2 low level guys with the ceilings of a guy like Mendez. So its either low level low ceiling or take the fringe ML guys and get the low level high ceiling guy as well

by bigsteve on Jul 19, 2011 9:20 AM CDT up reply actions

Bourn is only under control for 1.5 seasons

And hes not the type of player that will bring back a huge haul.

Could someone offer more than that for him….sure. but if this was the only of the best offer on the table for him I think they would have to think long and hard about it. Nobody they trade Bourn for is going to come in and turn that club around instantly. And the PR angle holds some weight. If they can get a local boy who they may be able to attract fans to come see, regardless of if hes a superstar or not, as well as two young lotto tickets thats something I think they would seriously consider

At least Davis is a guy where one team might value him a lot...

Depends.

Light and dark are way too broad. Not trying to be an ass. If you’re talking specifically about lighter and darker Octoberfest beers, it’s mainly a regional thing. They both are going to be a malty beer, but the darker ones may be a bit more roasty or caramelly.

Belgian Wit is a belgian wheat beer (wit = white). It tends to be a bit fruitier and flavorful than an american wheat. They often have a citrusy note to them from the belgian yeast strains used. All that said, I haven’t tried it. I’m hung up on Kolsch’s right now. I love ’em.

Fan fiction ain’t like other writing, though – the stories I’m proud of got no attention, at all, but the one that was a total cliched POS was extremely popular.

I write off and on.

On Writing was good and was definitely inspiring. My problem is that I have these great ideas, but I have a hard time seeing them through. I will start a story, but I have a hard time finishing because I lose interest. So the shorter the story is, the better the chance that I will actually finish it.

Before last week, it had actually been many years since I had written my last story. But last week I had two weird dreams that gave me story ideas, so I wrote two short stories based on them. In one of them, a guy gets sent to Hell. In his version of Hell, Dereck Jeter is President of the USA.

It's more like Rdio than anything else, but the library is much bigger.

It’s not like Pandora, although I think it does have a radio feature that will select and play music for you.. I’ve never used last.fm, so I dunno.

Basically, the entire Spotify library (which is limited, but still pretty damn huge) is available to stream on any PC. You can create playlists, and it auto-imports your local audio files, iTunes playlists, etc., and all of these are portable to other devices. You can share playlists with FB friends directly in Spotify (i.e., you don’t need to post it to their wall).

Let’s see….what else? There are 3 tiers Free, Unlimited (4.99/mo) and Premium (9.99/mo). In order to have full mobile access you need the premium subscription, and it’s difficult to share accounts. So, the wife and I would need 2.

Oh, BTW, since we talked about Google Music/cell coverage before:

On Sunday when I drove back from DFW I listened to Google Music on my Evo on 3G from Fort Worth to Austin with it only having like 4 issues (songs finishing early and skipping to the next one), and I don’t know if those were connection issues or just bugs or problems when the songs got initially uploaded.

From what I remember my dad saying, the technical path runs into a ceiling pay-wise much earlier than the management one, which is why (after resisting for years) he finally went into management about ten years ago.

The Economist

pretty much slammed that idea last week. Basically said the whole idea of a cheap next gen fighter had gone to pot and that they should significantly cut back orders and reinvest in unmanned planes.

I am honestly not informed enough to know whether that opinion is correct or incorrect.

by grn_lantern on Jul 19, 2011 9:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

There are some big problems with that idea.

For one thing, the more you cut back order numbers the more expensive each plane is going to get, and you don’t actually end up saving very much. That’s also like a third of the price of the F-22 (which is admittedly a very expensive plane). And finally, I don’t think the military brass is comfortable handing everything over to unmanned aircraft just yet.

I don't disagree with any particular point

you just made. In fact, that makes a great deal of sense.

I do wonder if we really need 2500 of them. It would seem that some lower number would maximize the potential economies of scale and then you could, say, only order 2000 and put the money from the 500 saved into R&D into UAVs.

But what do I know?

by grn_lantern on Jul 19, 2011 9:35 AM CDT up reply actions  

Well, it will be both an Air-Force and Navy plane

and I think both services recognize that this might be their last opportunity to get manned fighters so they’re stocking up. And in general with military aircraft, the more you order the cheaper (individually) they are, because so much of the cost is tied up in development and design. That being said, I have no idea if 2500 is a good number or not, the military does tend to fall in love with certain projects and overbuy.

I’m pretty sure there’s a minimum dollar amount the government is responsible for, plus they pay for a lot of the research and development. Also see above, where decreasing the number of planes really just increases the price for each plane. It’s not like it’s a fixed price and you just buy one less and save that much money.

Coincidence?

economist

“”http://www.economist.com/node/18958487" target="new">the last manned fighter": It is the most expensive military project ever. It is plagued by delays and menaced by budget cuts. Will the F-35 survive?

The latest cost estimates from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), published in May to coincide with a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the F-35 programme, were shocking. The average price of each plane in "then-year" dollars had risen from $69m in 2001 to $133m today. Adding in $56.4 billion of development costs, the price rises from $81m to $156m. The GAO report concluded that since 2007 development costs had risen by 26% and the timetable had slipped by five years. Mr Gates’s 2010 restructuring helped. But still, "after more than nine years in development and four in production, the JSF programme has not fully demonstrated that the aircraft design is stable, manufacturing processes are mature and the system is reliable". Apart from the STOVL version’s problems, the biggest issue was integrating and testing the software that runs the aircraft’s electronics and sensors. At the hearing, Senator John McCain described it as "a train wreck" and accused Lockheed Martin of doing "an abysmal job".
What horrified the senators most was not the cost of buying F-35s but the cost of operating and supporting them: $1 trillion over the plane’s lifetime. Mr McCain described that estimate as "jaw-dropping".

Cause it’s not like the F-16 or F-15 have been around that long… (oh the F-15 is projected to be in service until 2025, by the way).

And no, for that many planes over that long of a time period? That’s probably not that outrageous… military shit is expensive. It’s a lot of money, but considering the long lifetime they’re likely estimating it over, I don’t think it’s really that suprising.

I don't think that's happening at all.

I think people are overestimating our current drone capabilities… if you’re going to put drone fighters out there, you’re going to want them to be fully autonomous. I think we’re still a pretty decent ways from that happening… adding in the facts that the military requires a LOT of testing/trials before adopting any new platform, there’s likely to be a lot of resistance to taking fighters completely out of human hands, and that even if drone fighters are introduced that doesn’t mean we’d immediately scrap all our manned fighters, a 30 year service life is easily reachable (and it should be longer than that, if the plane is well-designed).

During the 2008 NBA Playoffs, Hill was suspended from her post after referencing Adolf Hitler in an article about the then-NBA champion Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. In an editorial describing why she could not support the Celtics, Hill wrote: “Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It’s like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan. Deserving or not, I still hate the Celtics.” The comments immediately generated a negative response from readers and that portion of the editorial was taken out shortly after the column was published. Hill was subsequently suspended for one week and issued an apology through ESPN.34

In 2009, Hill was at the center of a controversy after telling Green Bay Packers fans to give Brett Favre the “Duracell treatment,” implying that fans at Lambeau Field should throw batteries at the former Packer quarterback.5 Later in 2009, Hill once again was reprimanded for her comments after comparing University of Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball coach John Calipari to Charles Manson.6 She later apologized to the university.7

The creditors are likely correct.

Amazon will sell you everything you could get at Borders/B&N at a bargain price with quick, cheap shipping.
Walmart will undercut those prices on the 20-30 most popular books; Sam’s and Costco may even undercut those prices.
Half-Price Books will get you an even better deal if you’re willing to wait for someone to get tired of the book.
And your local bookstore will provide relevant recommendations by staff members who are actually passionate about books.

Everyone else provides something extra or a better price than B&N/Borders.

B&N's online presence and sales of their Nook device set them apart from Borders.

Borders is an anachronism. Their Plan called for them to downsize massively to fund the reorganization, but they’d just be back in the same spot again.

I worked for Borders for awhile

They are in the position they are in today because they made a series of terrible, terrible business decisions starting about 10-12 years ago. Deciding to partner with Amazon instead of building their own site (as B&N did), along with totally missing the boat on the e-reader revolution and then halfheartedly jumping in way too late, is what killed that company. Not to mention the general eroding of what actually made Borders a really good business in the early 90s by getting rid of the people who knew the book industry and replacing them with generic grocery store and Staples-types.

So LSB. Question.

For my friend’s 21st last year we tried to go skydiving, but the weather didn’t cooperate. He got to go a week later, but I wasn’t able to (he’s like 5 hours away). So I’ve been wanting to go for almost a year now. I could go this weekend for $200 (which isn’t a bad price), but it’s not with any good friends and it’s $200 that I could definitely use somewhere else (college student so I’m not quite Scrooge McDuck). Thoughts?

Funny. I was just talking about skydiving with a guy in Lafayette last week.

He said his first time was awesome, but now he’s hooked. They gave him a teaser price on the second jump which he felt he shouldn’t pass up. And then there’s the third jump where, IIRC, you get to go solo. Costs add up.

It depends on the method for training.
Based on the training method and the individual’s learning curve, the first solo skydive without an instructor in freefall typically occurs between the fifth and 10th jumps for students learning by tandem or AFF training methods. Static-Line and IAD students jump alone beginning with the first jump and continuing throughout the training. The instructor is in the aircraft to observe the student’s performance then debrief the jump afterward.

I think....

The DVDs/books are 3 payments of $40, but then you need a pull up bar ($50ish), some bands (no idea how much) or some dumbbells ($15-$30 for each one, I have two 10s, two 15s and two 25s).

They also say to have a Yoga mat, which I bought one for $15 the other day – got about 10 minutes into my Yoga today and ditched the mat. So, if you are working out on carpet like me, a mat isn’t necessary.

Fuck Dom. That guy enrages me with how hard he goes.

I’m glad I’m getting familiar with the workouts, for example, my second time through Plyometrics, when we got to the sports bonus, I held off the throttle a little bit because I thought we were going to do it twice….was irritated with myself for having too much in the tank at the end of the workout because we obviously don’t do it twice.

long story

early November last year I got really sick with strep. Well, day 3 of strep I felt a painful pressure in my chest. Went to the ER…lots of tests and 3 days later, they determined that my HDL was hereditarily low (10…they want it to be above 40…I guess HDL is what insulates your heart from stres the body puts on it) and my heart got angry from the stress the sickness put it through and, for lack of a better term, I had a miniature heart attack. the doc likened my enzyme numbers to ones you’d see from someone who just ran a marathon.

Plus there’s that subtle competition aspect, like “oh I bet I can lift more than that guy… but I need to work harder to catch that guy.” That’s why I like working out with somebody slightly stronger than you… it really pushes you to keep up.

because it provides direction. I have always “worked out” but lacked direction in the gym. This way, I just hit play and do what Tony tells me to do. It takes all the thought out of it, which is exactly what I need.

He was right on track for the initial timeline through the first 20 weeks or so, but yes, that was always a concern.

It’s possible that he was small through the first 1.5 trimesters and has now caught up, but we can’t know for sure.

How often do they screw that up?

I know several examples of babies who really look like they were younger than they should be when they were born, or came early yet did not look early at all…

It almost is like doctors act like they have 100% certainty about the date, but they’re completely making it up 10% of the time…

Well,

the issue is that they’re mainly basing it on last menstrual cycle and size of baby. If the former is a bit fuzzy for whatever reason, then you can see the sort of variance that would be created by relying mainly on size (or other similar development markers).

Their diet plan is customizable based on your body type and your goals.

I’m not fat, so I don’t worry as much about the diet. I try to eat a lot of protien and eat foods that will help me gain good weight, but I am still trying to eat healthy so that I burn the useless fat.

I’m not giving up drinking though…..just trying to cut down on beer.

I modified it to work better with my schedule and managed to get through 4 months of it over the winter

Monday: Shoulders/arms
Tuesday: Ab ripper (only takes 20 min)
Wednesday: Yoga (sooo hard for me)
Thursday: Non-p90x activities (curling over the winter, heh)
Friday: Plyometrics
Weekend: Ab ripper

It’s definitely less rigorous than the schedule you are supposed to follow, but for someone like myself who doesn’t follow a workout routine all that often this was easy to manage around my schedule and I still got results out of it.

Considering that the only beer

From Shiner that I’ve liked in the last few years has been Redbird, and that only in the context of a hot day at the lake beer, I would consider it inferior.
