Nowhere really
I can’t really afford a trip right now. My company instituted a fraud prevention policy this year that requires you to take at least five consecutive days of vacation. With it being so damn hot outside, I figured it’s a pretty good time to just sit at the house in the air conditioning and play video games.
I might go to Tyler and visit my parents, or go see a movie, but that’s really about the extent of actually doing anything.
I'm going to Las Vegas in August.
Fucking heat.
Josh Hamilton: "I just show up, look at the lineup and play where I’m told. If they want me to catch, I’ll catch."
Jon Daniels on relationship with #Rangers Young: "I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." 2/19/11
Fraud prevention policy means mandatory vacation?
I wouldn’t complain, but I don’t get it.
"In fact, most of these free-swinging Padres couldn’t hit Dock’s funky palm ball. I threw it often. But by then, also, the first acid distractions entered: the TV flickered; the cracks in the wall started to move; the hand soap started to breathe — those sorts of things. Plus I was drawn to the outdoor garden between innings. Rain was near, I sensed." - A.J. Daulerio
Yeah, I had to ask about it too
The idea is that someone is forced to do your job for a week, so they’ll be able to tell if you’re really working or not. It’s kind of pointless in my role, since I’m a developer.
not really.
The basic idea is if someone is covering, or carrying out fraud. The mandatory vacation is likely to expose it. Like BT says below it’s common for most financial institutions. I’m not sure how effective it is for developers.
That's understandable.
I work in accounting so I’ve been exposed to the concept often. I can’t imagine you’d run across it much as a writer/journalist.
Lots of financial institutions have them

Baseball dates
1984 – In a 5 – 4 win over the Pirates, Expo Pete Rose singles for the 3,052nd time tying him with Ty Cobb on the all-time career single list.
1992 – (typo, perhaps?) – Nolan Ryan strikes out his 100th batter, reaching that mark for a record 23rd year in a row. He subdues the Orioles, 6 – 2, and passes Phil Niekro as number 12 on the all-time win list with 319. Juan Gonzalez helps with a 450-foot homer to center field, the longest yet at Camden Yards.
1998 – Boston defeats Toronto by a score of 6 – 3. Jose Canseco’s 8th-inning home run accounts for the Blue Jays’ first run. It is the 380th home run of Canseco’s career, making him the all-time leader among players born outside of the United States. Orlando Cepeda and Tony Perez had been the co-leaders with 379.
With his 44th homer, Mark McGwire surpasses Johnny Mize as the all-time Cardinal single-season home run leader.
2002 – Carl Everett becomes the first Ranger to hit two home runs in one inning. The Texas designated hitter homers twice in the nine-run seventh inning during the 12 – 4 rout of visiting Oakland.
2010 – Joe Mauer goes 5 for 5 and drives in 7 runs as the Twins rout Zack Greinke and the Royals, 19 – 1. Danny Valencia also has a night to remember, going 4 for 4 and hitting a grand slam for his first major league homer. (Ha!)
Birthdays!
1922 – Hoyt Wilhelm, pitcher; All-Star, Hall of Famer (d. 2002)
1977 – Joaquin Benoit, pitcher
1980 – Jason Botts, outfielder

cross posting this from the NFL thread
but i am interested in starting up a LSB fantasy football league — on ESPN (sorry jonthefon)
the only question is a) are there enough players who will be active and b) are we going to play team D or individual defensive players (IDP)
i am a fan of IDP but if that is going to keep people from being interested…
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
From my experience
Fleaflicker is the best site for FF. That being said, I’d probably be interested with IDP.

From Matches:
Michael Young, a man now sitting at .333/.369/.494 (.374 wOBA; 135 wRC+) on the season, is currently the best qualifying hitter in the AL West.
A hot “streak” has taken MY from just kind of surpassing okay for a DH in to hitting well enough to be awesome even at a position with no defensive demands.

let me just say:
i was all for dumping FOTF in the offseason, and i didnt think he would get to 500 PAs this year (due to sucking)
…i was wrong. totally and completely. dude still had something (a lot?) in the tank.
now, am i happy he is signed until 2013? no.
but am I happy that he is at least going to offer some particle of value at any point during the 2011-2013 seasons? yes.

make sure you are using a strong password.
numbers and symbols if possible. I would also update my security questions, and make sure they are not easy to guess. I’m not sure if Yahoo offers two-stage authentication, but If they do I would use it. You may check your sent mail and make sure nothing was sent out.

It's homemade mayonaise with a ton of lemon juice.
Homemade mayo: one egg, one teaspoon of dijon mustard and a pint of Olive Oil. That’s the only amounts I know, so it makes a ton of mayo.
Mix the egg and mustard, then add a drop of the oil one at a time with whisking briskly. Once it starts to thicken, add the oil is a steady stream, while whisking. Don’t stop or it will separate. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste (this is a cooking mayo, and not exactly Helmann’s…so don’t expect the same).
Take that and add enough lemon juice to make it very zesty — perhaps too zesty. The acidic juices in the sauce work perfectly with the asparagus and the fish.

"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"

So a friend of mine was stood up recently
(I hope none of you live in Atlanta and are the offender because she’s super cute and awesome.)
She was supposed to meet him at this great restaurant, and she was running a little late. So she called him to let him know she was late, he didn’t answer. When she got inside, she texted to let him know she was at the bar. She waited 15 minutes, and he never showed.
It worked out for her though. She wasn’t about to waste all the precious prep time. She took herself to a nearby bar, got a whiskey and ended up meeting another guy.
Cool story, bro. But seriously, why do people do this? If you change your mind about a date, a phone call or a text is not that difficult.
I don't know, but glad it worked out for her.
That’s really lame of the dude. Like you said, a call/text literally takes a minute.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
Exactly
It’s been a few days now, and she still hasn’t heard from him. Oh well. His loss, because she is fantastic.

Yeah...see, this guy may be a Forever Alone type
And it probably has absolutely nothing to do with her and it’s all about the anxiety of this dude.
The lack of a call or an answer shows me that he’s ashamed of standing her up and facing her is much worse than owning up to it.

I wondered whey she said that her friend “took herself out” instead of just saying that her friend then went out on her own or something along those lines.

I've been trying a no-alarm-clock strategy lately.
Hitting snooze every ten minutes for an hour wasn’t the most restful way to wake up, so now I’m trying a “I’ll sleep until I wake up and look at my clock and it’s about time to get out of bed” approach. I feel more rested, but I’m also getting in to work consistently about an hour later.
i cant do that. if i went alarm clock-less, i wouldnt wake up till 10 or 11

If I'm Mike, I am Mr. Switzerland
Much better percentage in just soldiering on. If he helps Walter, and Walter loses, he’s dead. If he doesn’t help Walter, and Walter wins, he’s probably still alive.
I think the ass beating was him seeing through Walter every step of the way, and being fed up with Walt trying to play him. Of course, he’s also pretty pissed that Walt made him and Victor look bad.
How do you think Gus knew Walt was outside? I’m guessing they have a GPS tracker on his car.

If the battery goes out, the alternator is probably next because it was either working overtime trying to keep a bad battery charged, or it was the problem to begin with. Then the starter goes out because it wasn’t getting enough juice from the battery and was wearing it down.

My battery has gone out twice in my 3-yr-old car (once 5 months after I got it and once two weeks ago). Hyundai covered it under warranty both times.

Mine is 16 years old. If you can find a battery that will last that long you’ll be my new best friend.
I've had 2
First one for 4 years, never replaced it (and had to jump it a bunch of times), and the second one going on 6 years.

And I’ve never had rechargeable ones die (though I don’t use them very often)
Laptop yes
actually not me personally but my wife’s.
But it’s not like all batteries are the same. Weird to compare lead-acid to lithium-ion to alkaline
It's basically the same principle, though
Just different materials are better at different things.

by colonialbob on Jul 26, 2011 10:27 AM CDT up reply actions
Same principle
but we are talking about how long they last and when they die. That’s going to vary immensely based on type of battery. Hell, that will vary depending on the casing of the battery.
Ok
and the answer is that there are less free ions. So to then compare different batteries doesn’t tell you anything since that degradation varies.
But the real reason I said that is if it is just the natural reason that a battery dies, as opposed to some specific mechanical flaw, then it shouldn’t die that quickly
Well, depends on how you use it, climate, etc.
If you make a lot of short trips in Texas during the summer, your battery will die faster than if you drive long distances in a more mild climate.

I don't get this UFA you're talking about
If you have a guy whose contract is up you can choose to offer him arbitration before he leaves. Correct? I think UFA is more NFL and NBA. Or am I off?
yes.
Players with more than six years of service time and who are eligible for free agency can also be offered arbitration when their contracts are up, if they have been tendered a contract offer by his current team by the tender deadline, and have not agreed on a contract.

Not long ago, someone here (maybe KOK) talked about remembering dreams
Here’s an interesting study on the subject
Dreams seem to help us process emotions by encoding and constructing memories of them. What we see and experience in our dreams might not necessarily be real, but the emotions attached to these experiences certainly are. Our dream stories essentially try to strip the emotion out of a certain experience by creating a memory of it. This way, the emotion itself is no longer active. This mechanism fulfils an important role because when we don’t process our emotions, especially negative ones, this increases personal worry and anxiety. In fact, severe REM sleep-deprivation is increasingly correlated to the development of mental disorders. In short, dreams help regulate traffic on that fragile bridge which connects our experiences with our emotions and memories.

Europe
Everything. I’ve been to some of Eastern Europe and want to go back and to see other places as well. I like historical stuff.
no Idea. I've been a lot of places.
I would definitely go back to Ireland for a week or two. I’d like to go to Australia too.
Come on people!
Southeast Asia… All of it!
If knowledge is power, why does Stephen Hawking need batteries?
This is such a tough one.
Gun to head: Mediterranean Tour. Start in Spain, see Sardinia, Sicily (I’ve done Italy a couple times), Greece and Isles, Malta, Turkey, and Israel. North Africa would have to wait because that’s like 2 months right there.
Second choice: NZ/Australia
Third: Probably the baseball stadium trip
Honorable mentions: Prague, Dublin, Chile/Argentina, Philippines.
I feel like I completely neglect Asia, and it’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s just I have a lot of other priorities right now.

Cowboys have cut:
Roy Williams, Marion Barber, Leonard Davis, and Kris Brown.
They must be expecting a HUGE haul in free agency. Obviously Barber was expendable, as was the kicker, but how can you possibly cut from the O-line? It was already thin enough, and you just cut one of the more reliable starters.

South Carolina quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged with nuisance conduct, according to a report by The State Newspaper.
According to the police report, two officers saw Mangus “facing Main St. urinating on the street curb and roadway,” at 1:31 a.m. Tuesday. The report stated that another officer was called to the scene and when he approached Mangus, he was “unsteady on his feet and he had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his person.”

get your SMART transcript

Yeah, I'm in the middle of that process right now.
A few years back, if I had gone on to online college, I was just 12 credits from my associates with my SMART transcript in Applied Electrical Sciences.
But I’m not trying to get a technical degree; I’m looking for a management degree so I can move on into project management, that sort of thing.
