PrintLet's GOOOOOOOOO!
Lawns may have originated as grassed enclosures within early medieval settlements used for communal grazing of livestock, as distinct from fieldsreserved for agriculture. The word "laune" is first attested in 1540,[7] and is likely related to the CelticBrythonic word lan/llan/laun, which has the meaning of enclosure, often in relation to a place of worship. Lawns became popular with the aristocracy in northern Europe from the Middle Ages onward. The early lawns were not always distinguishable from pasture fields. It is speculated the association between the word "pasture" and biblical mentions made lawns a cultural affinity for some. The damp climate of maritime Western Europe in the north made lawns possible to grow and manage. They were not a part of gardens in other regions and cultures of the world until contemporary influence.
Before the invention of mowing machines in 1830, lawns were managed very differently. They were an element of wealthy estates and manor houses, and in some places were maintained by the labor-intensive methods of scything and shearing. In most situations, they were also pasture land maintained through grazing by sheep or other livestock. Areas of grass grazed regularly by rabbits, horses or sheepover a long period often form a very low, tight sward similar to a modern lawn. This was the original meaning of the word "lawn", and the term can still be found in place names. Some forest areas where extensive grazing is practiced still have these seminatural lawns. For example, in the New Forest,England, such grazed areas are common, and are known as lawns, for example Balmer Lawn.
A striped lawn effect, from mowing in alternating directions
It was not until the Tudor and Elizabethan times that the garden and the lawn became a place created first as walkways and social areas. They were made up of meadow plants, such as camomile, a particular favorite. In the early 17th century, the Jacobeanepoch of gardening began; during this period, the closely cut "English" lawn was born. By the end of this period, the English lawn was a symbol of status of the aristocracy and gentry; it showed that the owner could afford to keep land that was not being used for a building, or for food production.
In the early 18th century, landscape gardening entered another design style. William Kent andLancelot "Capability" Brown brought the landscape garden style into popularity. Lawns appeared to flow from the garden into the outer reaches of the estate landscape. The open "English style" of parkland first spread across Britain and Ireland, and then across Europe, such as the Garden à la française being replaced by the French landscape garden.
In the 1870s, lawns began to appear beyond affluent properties and city parks. Most people had neither the hired labor nor leisure time to cut a field of grass with scythes, and most raised vegetables and flowers. During the Victorian era, as more plants were introduced and available horticulturally in Europe, lawns became smaller, as flower beds were created and filled with perennials, sculptures, and water features. At the end of the 19th century,suburban development with land around residences began. With sprinkler technology, improved and mass-produced lawn mowers, new expectations about gardens, and a shorter working week, lawns came of age in the U.S. and northern Europe. Through the 20th century, western landscape influence brought the lawn to many parts of the world.

School buses.
On a road with a median, do you have to stop for a school bus loading/unloading on the other side of the street? Loblaw?
So when one pictures a school bus unloading
Am I the only one who sees a bus with an air cannon of some sort mounted in the door, driving slowly down the street shooting kids out the side?
This needs to happen someday, because that’s a fantastic idea. It’s better than my idea for bumper car freeways.
You don’t even have to worry about the kids well being, they’re all fat enough to absorb the impact at this point anyway.

In Texas, the answer is no
In OK, where Loblaw works, the answer may be different.
"Sarah Palin...She met the wombshifter."
unless there is a break in the median for cars to turn
then you have to stop. Or at least everyone does.

Found out coffee screws with me...
I don’t know if this is common, but everytime I drink coffee I go spacey, and specifically can’t spell. It’s weird. I’ll drink a 6 a.m. coffee and literally can’t spell even simple words without great effort. About 9:00 a.m. I’m back to normal. But my wife and I narrowed down that it was coffee for sure.

My coffee issue is that about 30 minutes after a cup, I need to have a fairly urgent trip to the bathroom.
It starts my digestive system moving VERY quickly.

The real problem is...
that I can’t replace coffee with water because if I have more than 2 glasses of water a day, my pooper doesn’t work good. I’ll have to go the bathroom a dozen times in a day to get it all out. Stupid water.
So I typically have a glass of water in the morning, a glass of juice, 2 sodas, and that’s it.

On topic: I love mowing my lawn.
It’s usually the only time on the weekends that I get to totally zone out from work and wife. I put on my headphones, crank up the radio, and go to town for a couple of hours.
Nothing beats the feeling I get when I finish up a properly mowed and edged lawn.

I grew up in central Texas
so mowing the lawn meant getting constantly pegged in the legs and chest by loose rocks and chunks of limestone.
Hated that shit. I eventually started wearing goggles or sunglasses every time I had to do it.

I used to not mind Valentine's,
but this year it just seems like work. I’m trying to decide if that’s a holdover from last year or a factor of being tired from baby duties.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
I'm feeling the same way and think that exhaustion from baby duty is definitely playing a role.

I don't think we're going to go out for a nice dinner, though,

Cook for her
Saves money, plus you don’t need a babysitter.
It’s my go-to plan.
"Sarah Palin...She met the wombshifter."
Yeah, we're going to cook the meal together.
She enjoys cooking and I enjoy cooking with her, so it works. It’s basically a necessity right now with a baby, so…
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
Yeah
We’re entering a whirlwind next few months where babysitting will be at a premium. She’s maid of honor and I’m best man for my best friends wedding in early March, gotta fit bachelor party and bachelorette party in, LSB at the Stars is on the 24th, and then gotta ramp up for tailgate with some beer brewing.
"Sarah Palin...She met the wombshifter."
Yeah, that's the other issue.
We could probably say screw it and go out for a nice meal, but then the hours of babysitting on top of that…just wouldn’t be prudent.
Oh well, at least I won’t be dragged to see some dreck like this.

Celebrating this weekend.
Where do you get flowers from? I end up doing HEB, which is a bit variable in quality of arrangement, but seems to be solid in quality of flower and hard to beat in price.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
It depends.
If I’m having them sent to the house, I use Proflowers.com. They have great flowers for the price and my wife likes arranging them when they come in the box.
If I’m sending them to a restaurant for a dinner or to her workplace, I use a little florist in Addison called Mille Fleurs. They are more expensive, but they have some knock-out product and great service. I usually just tell them a dollar amount and they create something interesting from whatever is in season, subject to special requests for flowers I know my wife likes.

Do you use the florist around Valentine's?
I got tired of getting screwed over by the prices for flowers at florists this time of year, so I stopped. Let’s just say $40 goes a lot farther elsewhere.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
I do.
So long as I’m not requiring a certain flower, they don’t screw me over. If I’m asking for two dozen longstem roses, I’ll get boned. If I say, here, take $75 and make something nice, they have always gotten the job done with something that I thought was worth the cash.

What do you dip besides bread and dried meats?
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
Endive is awesome. It makes a little bitter scoop.
The dried meats are something that you can really expand on as well. I can’t recall whether it was Prosciutto or Pancetta, but good Italian meats really work well with the cheese.

One reason I was able to grow DBD like I did was because of a lot of the stuff I learned through those early conversations. Stuff like SEO, how to use the “jumps”, how to use tagging, important stuff like that.

Link dumps are encouraged as a good way to get "click throughs"
But they can’t be a big focus of the day and personally I think they should have original content as well.
Don’t take LSB as an example, because LSB is an outlier in how it all really works.
Just having a ton of links won’t generate comments or discussion. We turn our link posts into actual content, and they are a BIG part of why we’ve grown so much this season.

Performances have not been allocated to predicted playing time in the majors –
many of the players listed above are unlikely to play in the majors at all in 2012.
ZiPS is projecting equivalent production – a .240 ZiPS projection may end up
being .280 in AAA or .300 in AA, for example. Whether or not a player will play
is one of many non-statistical factors one has to take into account when predicting

We went pretty low key on the wedding
so we could save up for a bitchin’ honeymoon.
I’m thinking that was a good choice (although one of the cruise lines is Costa, so…I might be getting scooped out of the fjord by a fishing trawler in June).

I’m not sure if there’s even anything I can do to prep for this. I’m debating bringing some disinfectant wipes and cleaning the hard surfaces in the room when we board, but I feel like that’s not going to help. Probably more likely to pick it up in a public area anyways.

Same here.
Since older people are the only people still joining facebook, there has been a flood of friend requests from family, distant family, and very distant family. Since I don’t want them seeing what I’m doing constantly and I don’t have the heart to reject their friend requests, I just don’t use facebook anymore.

I used to post comments about politics, religion, whatever I was reading or thinking about.

I only end up posting something every 4-5 days or so.

It only takes one team to go insane and offer far more money than is reasonable.
And Hamilton will be the biggest position player name by far next year. If he has a year closer to his 2010 than his 2011, he’ll get paid a shocking amount of money.

Well, we will eventually when
we do another loan with the bank, but not for awhile. We’ll have to sell off some ownership in order to have enough cash on hand to secure the loan, but we’ll need 12-18 months of operating history in order to get the money I really want.
Right now I just need to leverage some stuff from family/friends.

How much equity are you looking for from personal connections?
A burden should never be something out of your control.
Well, we're not
selling off any equity right now, but eventually we’ll open it up and sell some so we can secure a loan.
I may not have understood your question, though.
by Whiskey in my Whiskey on Feb 8, 2012 12:54 PM CST up reply actions
Well, you're looking for money from friends?
Are you just going to ask them for a loan that you’ll repay 1:1, at some pre-disclosed interest rate, or through equity? I’m guessing not the third option.

We only would've had a day (and I was severely gimped up at the time)
but I think the real reason was because she’d already been.
So we went to Nikko instead. Still pretty amazing, but…Kamakura’s my top place in Japan to go visit. Nara is a close 2nd.

I have read his Grail Quest Trilogy which has the main character at the Battle of Crecy. I should probably check out Agincourt at some point.
It's fun
Not “great literature” or anything like that, but I enjoyed his take on the St. Crispin’s Day speech, and his depiction of the battefield. The main character is an English longbowman, which is unusual (most books about that era are about mounted knights).

But yeah, I don’t expect great literature from Cromwell. But I do expect well researched historical adventure. And he’s really good at that.
I haven't read that one, but "Agincourt" by Juliet Barker was really good.

Pretty much all of it.
The early history and king period is pretty sparse and partly mythological, so I haven’t read much about it. But I love everything else from the early republic through the end of the empire. If I had to pick, what really fascinates me the most is the latter empire when things fell apart and the remnants of the empire after it did fall. I read the condensed version of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire several years ago, and I have bought the complete collection, which I am going to read at some point when I can build up the strength to read those 3,000+ pages.

European history

My stance on the RGIII thing is
If your scouting tells you RGIII will be ready in two years and will be a good player, and you can move Romo for something of value, and you have no problem with giving up on 2012 (which Jerry would never do) sure you can do it…if RGIII somehow falls to you. Otherwise there is no point. Because if you have to trade up, it ruins the whole thing because what’s the point in trading Romo for pieces if you then have to unload pieces to move up in the draft.
Here's the scenario:
Miami give you their first and third this year and a first next year for Romo. You use 10 and 14 to trade up for RG3, have an extra 3rd this year and then 2 firsts next year. You draft OL and defense this year. You play McGee for the first few games until RG3 is ready, then bleed him over the second half of the season. Next year, you’ve got an offense that is good enough to win with, 2 first round picks [plus FA] to fill out the roster, so hopefully you end up with a defense that’s capable of being elite.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT QB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
This is some good rosterbation.
I’d rather use this year’s 10 and 14 on OL/DL, and then use next year’s firsts to grab Matt Barkley. But I’m not a Cowboys fan anymore.
"I have thought a lot about why people get so hostile online, and I have come to believe it is primarily because we live in a society with a hypertrophied sense of justice and an atrophied sense of humility and charity, to put the matter in terms of the classic virtues." --Alan Jacobs
But then you'd have to punt an extra year
Plus, realize that Barkley, while ridiculously promising, really only had a good half year. This isn’t like 2010 Luck.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
I'm on record thinking Barkley > Luck as a pro.
And punting an extra year means going 4-12 in 2012 rather than 8-8 again. Whatevs.

Sure,
But I just caution against using small sample sizes to say things like Barkley will be better than Luck. I can see how it would be the case, he was definitely very good in the second half of the year, but that is more likely to regress a bit than continue to get more awesome next year.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels

Is it really worth it though?
Yeah, you’re getting younger at QB, but you are giving up a known quantity for an unknown. I don’t think the total net gain is worth the risk.
That's what it boils down to
Your evaluation of the net gain. I’d do it.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
It depends if you think RG3 can be an elite QB.
If you think he’s going to be a legit top tier QB, then you take the risk with the reward being more years of better play.
I’m not going to say anybody who doesn’t think RG3 will be elite is stupid, QB is very hard to project. But from data that has some positive correlative value to the pro’s, he has been good and should be good.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
Yeah, but even if you do think he is a legit elite QB there is that risk.
And if you are not getting enough extra value to offset that risk, then you shouldn’t do it.
I’m with Match, it ultimately boils down to your evaluation of the net gain. I understand the thinking, but right now, I’m on the other side.
If I were the GM of the Cowboys,
I probably would be, too. I mean, assuming I wasn’t me and didn’t love RG3 more than any athlete ever.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
That's the other thing.
I have no connection to college sports. But I love Romo, and I really want Romo to get a chance at a real playoff run as a Cowboy (Fuck you, Patrick Crayton).
As much as I try to seperate that from a discussion on the feasibility of moving Romo, it’s going to have an impact.
Yes,
that would be the hard part for me.

I don’t see Major Bust in his future, but I have big concerns about his ability to stay on the field for a full season.

I don’t think he’ll ever really try to be what Vick has been most of his career.
Anyways, there’s a fairly good argument to be made that the Cowboys inability to develop a great pass blocking line means that they will always need a QB of this type, so….

But my wife was pretty insistent that I do it.

Just because of being there to support wife if anything happens?
I think if she is giving you the free pass, you take it.
A burden should never be something out of your control.
Not necessarily to just support her, but to be there in case something happens.

No.
No intent was negative at all.
Aqua is concerned about being away in case he’s needed, and my reply was to determine if he would be able to get home if he was needed, and how quickly.
I have zero idea how thinking about that could be misconstrued as being insensitive.

I didn't think you were being insensitive.
I have complete faith in the ability of William’s nurses to take care of him, I’m just not sure I would ever be able to forgive myself if something happened and I wasn’t there.

Appreciate you understanding my intent.
I didn’t think it was a weird thing to consider, but then again, I tend to think logically even in emotionally charged situations.
I’d just be careful to realize that with that being a persistent chance, you either have to decide to never put yourself in that position or understand that any time in the future that you are in a similar situation, you will have the same hesitations.

During her two-day sentencing hearing, prosecutors referred repeatedly to an entry Bustamante wrote in her journal on Oct. 21, 2009 — the night of Elizabeth’s death — in which she admitted to having just killed someone.
“I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they’re dead,” Bustamante wrote in her diary, which was read in court by a handwriting expert. “I don’t know how to feel atm. It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the ‘ohmygawd I can’t do this’ feeling, it’s pretty enjoyable. I’m kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now…lol.”
Bustamante then left for a youth dance at a Mormon church her family attended while hundreds of volunteers began a two-day hunt for the dead girl. Although she initially lied to authorities about Elizabeth’s whereabouts, Bustamante eventually confessed to police and led them to Elizabeth’s leaf-covered shallow grave.

But can you really blame them? Wouldn’t you be pissed? Jesus helps us win at sports games, yet he’s nowhere to be found when poor people need important medicine for their kid’s infection, or when they’re late on a mortgage payment. Think about it. There are folks in Africa who get AIDS without even being gay. Yet here Jesus is, helping me & Tebow out in sports, just because we’re maybe a little bit cooler in his eyes. It’s a raw deal, plain and simple. Even though he’s hooking me up, I still see it’s kind of a cocksucker move on Jesus’s part.

When I had no children and BigLaw income.
2-5 (and some 5-10, depending on the game) NLHE, 15-30 Omaha/8, and bigger bets at the sports book. If you go with $250-300, I really think the best way to approach it is $50 money line bets on football.

That reminds me.
Not trading unless I’m getting picks that I can’t say not to at this point. I’m planning on trying to tread water with my broke dick motherfuckers for three more weeks until they start to get healthy. Schedule for me is favorable.
If I have a shot at the playoffs after that I’ll push for it… otherwise fire sale.

It's not that.
I’m not in fire sale mode yet… but if I do a trade like what you proposed I’m going to have to drop one of my hurt guys… and I don’t want to do that.
