I enjoyed Taken

I’d much rather hate the beginning of a movie and like the last 2/3rds than vice versa. After the first 20 mins Taken is a lot of fun.

Doesn’t need a sequel though.

Sure, but if I go in to a movie expecting a C or below

and that movie instead gives me a B- experience, I’m ok with that. Especially for a movie released in February when there’s almost nothing but garbage out in theaters.

I wouldn’t buy Taken, but I’d probably watch it again if it came on TV.

Roy Oswalt puts the non-contenders in their place

“Oswalt also let Cleve. and Tor. know he had no interest, clearly wants Texas, StL”

I’m assuming St. Louis will happen but I wish it would go one way or the other soon. We’ll see about that meeting.

OT-Ness: Sons of Anarchy marathon now through season 3 episode 2. What the hell @ random important character killing in S3 E1. Was not surprised to look it up and see the person wanted off the show for whatever reason, but they could have come up with something a little more… dramatic?

I think that marathon shall be put on hold for a week or two.

by DShep on Jan 30, 2012 7:56 AM CST reply actions  

This may sound crazy or stupid

but is it possible that Oswalt is being looked at as a way to limit Feliz’s inning so that in the event of postseason baseball his arm isn’t toast. Then you can plug him back into the bullpenis in October without having to worry if he’ll flameout.

by Axe Em Rangers on Jan 30, 2012 8:30 AM CST up reply actions  

Sounds reasonable to me

But moving Harrison is a really significant move to have something like that set up, seems like you could just trade for someone at the deadline.

Could also be just simply not trusting Feliz to start in general – having made the move more to find out if he could before its too late than with real confidence he’d succeed.

by DShep on Jan 30, 2012 8:45 AM CST up reply actions  

I think they said last season that he'd shown enough in ST to start

so the confidence should be there. In my imaginary ‘save Feliz’s arm’ idea you’d run Darvish, Holland, Lewis, Harrison, Feliz/Oswalt out there over the course of the season, and then you have Feliz/Oswalt to fill the hole if Lewis leaves after next season.

Saw 'The Artist' over the weekend

What a good movie. The lead actress was perfectly cast as ‘Peppy’ and the director did a great job giving the characters depth with what could not have been more than 35 lines of dialogue in the whole movie. Ang damn, are Jack Russel Terriers the best acting dogs ever? Cute little bastard melts your heart…

Alright, so over the weekend I heard that one of the old store managers I used to work for was put in charge of a new store.

The same friend (a former coworker who is one of my baseball friends—if it’s not a LSB meetup and I’m at a baseball game it’s with him) also said that he (the manager in question) might have a position for me. I’m thinking I’m going to look up the number for that store and call up today (hopefully he’s working today).

If all of this is true, maybe, maybe I’ll have a job soon. It’s probably going to be a pretty shitty one, likely a step down from my last shitty job, but hey, at least I might be able to afford to eat soon.

Rereading Scott Pilgrim,

and I don’t know if I picked up on it the first time, but the cryo-chamber thing that comes down from the ceiling in volume six looks a lot like the upside down castle that floats over the dueling arena in Revolutionary Girl Utena.

by Arson55 on Jan 30, 2012 8:31 AM CST reply actions  

I've got the over/under on other people that view this comment knowing what the castle

in Revolutionary Girl Utena looks like at 0.5.

I watched a good bit of anime in the late 90s/early 00s and have a vague recollection of the name at least. But no it wouldn’t surprise me if a comic artist/writer worked in references like that though.

Hahaha

Well, I know there were some anime/manga inspirations for the graphic novels, I just don’t know if Utena is one of them.

But it just totally caught me off guard. Utena is like, my second favorite series of all time (not just anime, but any TV series), Scott Pilgrim Vs the World is definitely my favorite movie, and, by extension, the graphic novels are my favorite graphic novels. It just blows my mind to see that, and since I had this thread open, I just kinda mentioned it.

But, yeah, I do wonder if anyone else has seen Utena at all.

So we just got a Rosa's in Denton.

I don’t really get the hoopla. It looks like a sit-down restaurant until you walk in and realize it’s half Taco Bueno half Panchos with a drive-thru and people being corralled like cattle through the little maze of ordering and then picking up your food. I found it slightly overpriced and completely hectic trying to claim for food through a throng of other hungry cattle (though this is quite possibly a function of being newly-opened and especially busy). I do, however, like the fresh salsa bar and fresh tortillas.

The fajitas were dry, albeit with good flavor, and the onions and peppers were undercooked.

Here's the quote
Ontario Superior Court Judge Robert Maranger said the evidence clearly supported the conviction.

“It is difficult to conceive of a more heinous, more despicable, more honorless crime,” Maranger said. “The apparent reason behind these cold-blooded, shameful murders was that the four completely innocent victims offended your completely twisted concept of honor … that has absolutely no place in any civilized society.”

The reasons and the details are irrelevant

Because the numbers of murders across this planet in the name of religion, Christian, Muslim, whatever, are astronomical. I’ve heard of several cases of men and women murdering their families and then killing themselves in the name of God or religion….except in those cases we just call them “insane” and move along.

A Muslim does it and it’s a pox on the religion itself. It’s a double standard.

I'm not trying to argue because I get what you're saying

But I’ve read The Koran and The Bible. They both exhort people to violence, but fundamentalist Muslims have embraced the most violent aspects of their religion in recent decades, while Christians have been forced to step away from theirs.

It’s like Islam never got a New Testament to “cool off” the insanity of a book written in the 7th century. The Old Testament and the Koran sound very similar and are products of a far more brutal age.

You need to be prepared for a simplistic action film.

Very, very simplistic. The music is silent during fight scenes and usually the camera is pulled way back, and we see the fight from afar.

There’s also about 10% sexualization of Gina, which has pissed some people off.

But I loved that. I loved seeing a legitimate action movie that felt like it was taking place in the real world. She’s a
“special agent” but there’s no crazy tech or gadgets, she knows her weapons and she knows how to fight.

I'm actually surprised.

I really expected the same stunts as a TR movie (i.e. – shower scene, tight fitting leather/spandex suit, sex scene, gratuitous underwear shot). Interesting that they made a serious attempt at making an action movie. I will definitely see it, just don’t know if it is worth seeing on the big screen.

you know when you rent a car, or a uhaul, or piece of equipment or something?

and then you have to return said vehicle/equipment to the place in which you rented it? not necessarily the exact place, but a like place (uhaul to uhaul, for example). isn’t that a pain in the ass? Like, i just unloaded a fuck ton of shit off this uhaul, i dont want to drive it back ot a uhaul.

what if you made an enterprise like company, where instead of picking YOU up, the company picks the truck up, or the rental car, or the equipment?

all because you and your fucking company is so stupid that you only use first/last name and a current address as identifying information and totally ignore DOB, SSN, employment history, other addresses and full name as potential identifiers.

why is this so difficult?

It's not really that bad once you get started.

My wife did it before our son got sick. She was/is insane about organization, though, and that definitely helps.

There are tons of websites out there that help you track deals and identify when something will go on sale at which place. There are even services that will track coupons for you and how they interact.

This girl in my group just e-mailed to remind us that we don't have class tomorrow

and that we’re meeting in the lobby to start research. Really annoyed me. Comes off like she thinks she’s better than us and we need a reminder or something. I’ve never had anyone do such a thing for a group project in the past… we all agreed on when and where so I don’t see it as necessary to remind us.

Maybe it’s not a big deal.. but whatever.

No, I’ve never had someone randomly tell all group members in a school project to remind us we are meeting. If it was like oh yeah don’t forget to bring this to the meeting, then yeah that’s fine. But I think we’re all very aware that there IS a meeting. It’s not like it has been a long time since we even last discussed it.

I just took it as she thinks we aren’t responsible and she has to baby us along.

everyone is on the same page and committed to this project. College students aren’t the most reliable and when people who take academia seriously have to rely on slackers to help with their grade, it can cause some people to become edgy.

Just do your job, act as if this is a job and respect everyone in the group. It’ll be over in a month or two, unlike a real job where you would have to put up with these people for years.

My work schedule never changes so they all know I work Sunday nights and it’s difficult for me to get out of it but I can if I have some notice..

But they put it off until Saturday to say okay we’ll meet Sunday.. well I didn’t go because that is not enough notice for me and they know I work Sunday’s. It really affected my peer evaluation..heh.

Ace, in all seriousness and face punching asside:

Why is NM 49th out of 50 for you?

I’m assuming it’s because it’s large and sparsely populated, and while I don’t so much get that, it’s obviously fine and all. But, there are lots of other fairly empty states that don’t seem to have much of anything to offer outside of emptiness. What makes them better?

Serious question. If you weren’t serious about 49/50, just ignore it.

Well, I'm pretty independent and love the outdoors, so sparsely populated and emptiness isn't a problem for me.

I find the terrain lacking for what I want, other than the mountains. But the mountains they do have aren’t better than ones I can find elsewhere i.e. Colorado, Utah, AZ even.

So there just isn’t really an overwhelming aspect of that state I enjoy. The people to me aren’t a negative, but they aren’t super friendly nor do they seem to enjoy living there themselves. I also don’t find much wealth in the state. While I’m not a superficial guy by any means, I do enjoy having the options of top notch technology and things at my disposal (I’m aware of the government places out there, but that isn’t really a plus, either)

My view of NM is just a big, empty, state with some mountains I can ski for cheap when I don’t want to spend a bunch on going to Colorado. It’s probably just a taste preference as well.

I will say that NM may not be 49/50 since I haven’t been to all the states, but of the ones I have it’s probably 28/29?

In general consensus or for Ace?

Ace was Oklahoma. I haven’t seen North Dakota, but I’ll bet I’d like it. I loved South Dakota until the Missouri river, when it became the most boring stretch of land imaginable.

What I thought was interesting, though, was how marshy the landscape was. I did not at all expect that in the Dakotas. I pictured them more like the dry grass lands of eastern New Mexcio or west Texas. It looked more like Florida than either of those.

I was thinking general consensus.

The more I think about it, the more talk of states in general is pretty difficult. You’ve really got to talk about cities/regions. If Ace’s principal experience with NM has been in the Carlsbad, Artesia corridor, then I can understand his disdain.

That has been my major exposure, as well as the cities along the trail to Colorado from Tech.

I’ve spent a little time in Albq. and SF, but they are bigger cities, so I try not to judge a state on those places. Most big cities are alike, to me, so unless it has some crazy positive about it, I usually judge a state based on the surrounding areas, the people in general, and the overall “feel” of it.

There are tons of character dinners, more than two, so I'd need more information on which two she was narrowing it down to.

Planning, which she’s doing, is important. Being willing to break from that plan is also important.

Use the hell out of FastPass. I cannot tell people that enough. The system is entirely made by the people who know how to use it, and the people who don’t. If you know how to use it, you can dominate the park. Always have an outstanding FastPass. Always. Get one, and as soon as you can get another one (it says on the bottom of the ticket) get another one.

Also, stop and look at the little stuff. The parks are loaded with details and features that you miss if all you’re doing is running from ride to ride. Using FastPass well actually makes taking your time between rides easier.

When are they going, do you know?

Probably the worst time possible. End of Aug, right before school starts back up.

I keyed her in on FastPass, but I’ll tell her to make sure and read up on how to use it properly for her and the kids. She’s a smart girl and plans very well, so I’m sure she will have these things set up in time. I’ll tell her about the details thing and about being able to deviate from the plan if need be.

Okay.

It will be busy and hot, but oh well.

On the plus side, it won’t be so busy that the park hours can’t make up for it (see: Late December). They’ll need to be prepared for a long day to get everything in, but they should still be able to get everything in.

I’ll think about some other stuff while I get ready for work and let you know as they come to me.

I ask about August, though, because right now would be a relatively bad time to come to the Magic Kingdom. Tons of construction around the park, and lots of attractions closed. Most of the work being done around the park will be long finished by then, Big Thunder Mountain will have just reopened after a major refurbishment, and hopefully the new Dumbo and the Beauty and the Beast area will also be opened.

Is FastPass where you get to go to the front of the line at designated times?

Should I wait on going with a 3 (closer to 4 when we would go) and 2 year old until they are older?

You should go whenever you want to go, but they won't get as much out of it as they would in later years.

That’s essentially what FastPass is. You get a scheduled time to come back for little or no wait (generally it’s supposed to be less than 10 minutes).

You are limited to one every two hours (I think one hour in Animal Kingdom), or whenever your last FastPass is ready to be used; whichever comes first.

3. Colorado (amazing scenery, skiing, etc)
4. Oregon (beaches, beer, scenery, laid back Pacific Northwest culture)
5. DC- Incredible history, public transportation, tons of shit to see. Traffic is bugnuts though.
6. Puerto Rico- rainforests, RUM, Spanish colonial stuff, well developed roads, Caribbean weather.

After that, I wouldn’t live in any of the others. Maybe Pennsylvania or Missouri, but I wouldn’t deliberately choose to.

This year, I should be seeing Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Massachussetts for the first time.

I might also see some other states in New England and/or Michigan and Ohio. None of which have I been to before.

That would put me at no fewer than 38 states by the end of the year, and perhaps a few more.

Getting close. Ranking them would be hard.

I’ll bet Iowa is the last one I ever see. It is completely surrounded by states I’ve already been to, and has no reason drawing me to visit.

My view on ethics in climate change...

is that the small group of scientists who oppose anthropogenic climate change are just as susceptible if not more susceptible to questionable ethics. There are always going to be bad apples in every bunch, but not enough to shape the opinions of the entire scientific community on a topic like climate change.

my problem is that people want to pull a small sample size and use it to make assumptions

on something that has many many variables and totally dismiss problems relating to statistical power of results..

you are talking about season.. you need thousands of season (not days) to get the data to say that you are going to attribute one specific thing as a cause..

that is why they are all just out for a grant.. there is no real provable answer without the underlying data

Which is why

predictions for the future from climate models are much less powerful than actual data that has been collected in past few decades. There are relatively reliable ways to measure certain elements of paleoclimatology, such as temperature and particulates. Ice cores contain bubbles of the past climate which contain isotopes that tell us temperature and particulates that show CO2 and GHG levels. When comparing what has happened in the past couple of decades to ice core records, the rate and magnitude of our current climate change is unmatched in the past 55 million years. The collection of ice core evidence has very little to do with “predictions” and is based upon a large sample of data.

Even if there are problems with our understanding of long term climate change, it does not mean we should ignore the possibility of climate change and take no action. We have much more to lose if it is true than if it isn’t.

There are the red flags that mean something is due and then there are the red flags that just tell you that work should have already been done…
