This is the new face of Johnnie Walker. I know she is a fan favorite in this particular corner of the web.

seriously, patient cow who?
Yesterday I really wanted some sweet and sour chicken from my favorite local Chinese place the bamboo garden. Their sweet and sour sauce is the best I've ever had. The only problem is they are closed on Mondays. The same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. I'm going to get it for lunch today. Similarly with chik fil a, I crave it on Sundays. I think being closed one day a week is a brilliant move by these establishments because it makes me crave their food when I want it and can't have some.
c'mon man, patient cow who?
Everybody done with their Christmas shopping? I actually have some done which puts me about 2 weeks ahead of a normal holiday season. I still have a ton to do, as only my siblings, dad and a grab bag gift are done. Still need more for mom, step-mom, sister in law and most importantly the wife and child.
ah screw you man this joke sucks.

Therein lies the problem.
The charitable orgs that get the majority of money from chik-fil-a is boycott worthy. I’m doing it myself, but its much easier when I don’t have one within 15 miles.
by South Side Expat on Dec 15, 2011 4:17 AM CST up reply actions
this appears factually incorrect whether i read it as the majority of the money donated by chik-fil-a goes to boycott worthy organizations or the majority of the organization's they donate to are boycott worthy.
in 2009, the most recent year available, chik-fil-a donated approximately $7.8 million to the charity it sponsors, winshape. winshape, according to published reports, donated $1.7 million to these anti-gay groups everyone is worried about. even if one were to ascribe all that money to chik-fil-a, they’re only 22% anti-gay. that’s not so bad, considering their chicken is the best thing ever.
i think these stories are actually all planted by chik-fil-a themselves to divert attention from the fact that their chicken contains heroin. which renders me powerless to boycot them. anti-gay, pro-drug? these animals must be stopped. just not by me.

me either brother
i dont understand how a company so forward thinking with the ketchup packaging can also be so ass backwards on other things.
I ate so much chic-fil-a back in my college days I literally didn't eat it for a year or so after I graduated.
Chic-fil-a was one of the three main a la carte restaurants in the cafeteria at SC. Taco Bell, Chic-fil-a, and Pizza Hut. Real healthy, I know. I ate chic-fil-a literally every day at least once. Had four choices: chicken salad sandwich on wheat, grilled chicken sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, and some # of nuggets. And fries, of course. So addicting.
What I recommend? Mixing the light mayo and polynesian sauces together on one bun and a little ketchup (or honey mustard) on the other. Shit is ftw.

"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
I've been wrestling with it for a while and I just don't think my heart's in it.
I’m legitimately unhappy. And I know about hard work being required to get where you’re going and all that, but fuck, I’ve always at least enjoyed the hard work. I don’t anymore. I’m not sure if it’s just because I don’t give a fuck about the classes when they become heavily centered on the large animal aspects and parts of vet med I know I have no desire to be a part of, but I’m just not happy and haven’t been for a while.

Well, boys, it's a round ball and a round bat and you got to hit the ball square. ~Joe Schultz, 1969
and then there is the pissing contest
go to a play group or something and all these moms see something from the developmental checklist and immediately ask your how old your kid is so they can determine whose prodigy hit the mark first.
my wife is guilty of that one as well. ’she’s x months old and isnt doing y yet!’ then usually a day later the kid does whatever it is she was stressing out about. i try to tell her every kid is different, just because our 2 year old was holding a crayon like a 4 year old doesnt necessarily mean she is going to be the next Madam Curie.
Amen brother!
It’s all a moot point until about 3rd grade anyways. Boys develop at a different rate and a different ways from girls. Neither is right or wrong and each child is their own unique person. People should be satisfied with that miracle alone. Granted of course when things are way out of whack you have to pay attention to benchmarks (i.e. not walking by 2, not making/keeping eye contact, etc.)

You have one life.
If you’re not enjoying the work in it, and you can walk away, you should. What you spend your time is who you are. And its the scars you get during that work that will give you pride, if you believe in that work.
I became dangerously underweight during school because of the work (grandma thought I was doing heroin), took me months to get back to skinny. Loved every grueling second of it and wouldn’t trade it for the world. If you don’t love the work, its not worth it.
I disagree with this.
At some point you have to start providing for yourself and others. You shouldn’t ditch a career or career path just because you don’t love it 100% or else you’ll always be searching and never be content. Some people would never find work. One of my professors told me to find a job that I liked 75% of the time and could tolerate the remaining 25%. That’s good advice, I think.

It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
out of curiosity, what career has brought you self-actualization?
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
i went to what was, at the time, the worst grammar (high) school in scotland.
seriously, the day i finished, the biggest tabloid in the country ran the front-page headline ‘worst school in scotland’.
now, that wasn’t entirely warranted, but the teachers were pretty fucking awful. so i didn’t go to uni or college straight out of school. i was so sickened by education, that i decided going straight into the job market was the thing to do.
so i did some office jobs for about 5 years. then i became a residential electrician for 3 years. both of those jobs sucked. i mean, the electrician one wasn’t awful (especially compared to office admin, which sucked the very soul from me), but i looked at my coworkers and they were pretty much meatheads to a man. i was really good at both the jobs, but there was zero satisfaction in them for me. i don’t think i’m a genius compared to those guys, but i think i have enough brains to do something other than manual labour.
knowing i was smart didn’t make that much of a difference though, as i had never had much in the way of motivation. i was pretty depressed throughout that period and did a lot of ‘intense’ thinking, real furrowed-brow stuff. i decided to end the long-term relationship i was in because it had broken my heart and i also came to the conclusion that i was an athiest, so doing what made me happy here and now gained precedence. i also decided i wanted to do something that helped other people, as that’s the only human responsibility i believe in. so it came down to; ‘if i’m not content with what i am doing, then i am wasting what time i have.’
anyways, having had some distance from secondary school, i realised i still wanted to learn, but it was the school and the crappy teachers that soured me. not the subjects themselves. so, i went back to uni. which is costing a metric shit-tonne, but i am much happier for it.
in short, to answer your question: get your heart broken over a period of about seven years and decide that god doesn’t exist.
In retrospect, I think it would've been good for myself personally to do it this way.
Re: the working full-time for a few years after high school before getting a college education. Earn some money, do some thinking, find out a bit what you like/dislike in the workforce, grow up a bit. I’m immature enough as it is now, I wasn’t in the best position to plot the start of my career path at age 17. Luckily I did pick something which gave me a solid base, even if it wasn’t a long-term fit.
don't believe in God? That's ok
But your lack of faith in electricians offends me! ;)
Seriously, for me it’s all of the life experiences that lead you to where you are today & more future experiences as to who you’ll become (assuming you continue to live). There is much in my life that has profoundly changed me from who I was 20 years ago. None of this means I’m right, but what’s right for me.

You presume that everyone is going to pair off and form a family
That is not true. Some people are better off alone and know it. They will not enjoy supporting others through ups and downs. They will not enjoy raising a family.
If that is who you are, forcing yourself into it does yourself and your partner a grave disservice. Now you are lying and ruining both your own life and whoever you talked into relying on you. Good job.
And what is wrong with searching forever? What if the journey you want for you life is exploration only?
What's wrong with searching forever?
Plenty. You wind up living off of the goodwill of others and the government because you can’t support yourself. Want to search forever and be supported? Join a monastery. That’s excellent advice to U-God. Hey U-God, can’t decide on your future? Join a monastery! Forgo earthly possessions while you search for your place in life!

I could be happy being single the rest of my life.
This sounds like the conversations I used to have with people when I told them I prefer living alone to having a roommate. “Don’t you get lonely?”. I still have friends.

I too would rather live alone than have a roommate (unless it was my girlfriend)
I don’t think the topic was if you could be happy being single. I think it was if some people are better off alone than with others. I think we’re all better off with someone in our lives. Makes the experience more enjoyable and bit easier to manage.

I had the same crisis last year, took a leave of absence and came back this fall.
It wasn’t so much that I hated med school as I hated how hard I worked and was barely passing. Also, going from undergrad straight to grad school sucked because I didn’t get out in the world and learn anything new or experience something outside of my niche.
I explored other options: Worked, volunteered, did some research. For me the time off helped bring back some of my passion for learning. Also, owning up to my parents about my fears helped immensely.
Whatever you do, don’t burn the vet school bridge until you’re 100% sure something else is out there. Take a semester off, use your time and figure out where else your skills can apply, or if you just want to start all over again. I don’t know about you but it took me a while to really be honest about what I want from the future.

Thank you.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
You probably don't want to hear my advice but here it is
At this fork in the road you have to choose the path of least future regrets. Take the eastern path and possibly regret never finishing vet school, not only because it is a career alot of people would kill for the chance to get involved in and you make good money but you are also ‘pot committed’ on loans and it may be a strain on your ‘new’ not having an immediate way to start diminishing what you owe. You won’t be happy struggling to pay off debt and you won’t be happy with yourself in the future for giving up or more appropropriately, never going back. Ozzie Montana is rare in that he actually went back after a hiatus.
The western path has you being unhappy and working your ass off for thr next two or three years, doing whatever you can as quickly as you can to graduate. I know it seems that your present situation will last forever and that there is no hope but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Your only future regret will be having lived in Kansas in your early 20’s, which I am sure is not that awful i.e. canadian chicks. Don’t selfdestruct, just persevere. I don’t envy your current mindset or situation by any means.

Good advice.
I ended up taking a break from my program for a year and a half. I worked FT then when that job fell thru I went to a Tech school and looked at some other careers in the medical field. All the ones tech positions requiring 2 year associate degrees and such. I realized that I didn’t have any passion for any of those “_ Tech” careers and I was only looking at them because it was a cheaper, easier route to the finish line.
I re-considered my old program. I didn’t want all that time and effort I spent to be a waste, and realized more importantly that I did have still some passion for it. So I decided it was really for the best to rejoin the program. I came back infinitely more focused and ready to be done. Being in a serious relationship also sort of gave me a swift kick in the ass to be done with something. Now I’m graduating tomorrow and I’m pleased that I came back and finished what I started.

It sounds like you rather work with people’s pets than horses and cows and shit like that, but you had to know that was part of the deal. Tough it out, get yourself a little office in the burbs, work about 30 hours a week and drive a sweet audi like my vet does.
I don't think I'll tell you to man up
but I do hope you think things through very carefully. I get the impression you choose vet school for a reason (haven’t seen any indication it was somebody pushing you that way) so relax and try and remember those reasons. We all at some point feel like we didn’t make the right or best decision and that’s where real friends and family can sometimes help. Maybe there are other things going on affecting you? Don’t do anything rash. But also don’t be afraid to do what you think is best for you. That’s all I got. Now get the fuck off my couch.

Kids >>>>> Dog
A dog is like having an 18 month old for 13+ years. Poop and pee alot, very self-centered and can’t verbally communicate…The best part about kids is they grow up. Every time I get to the point that I can’t take whatever is annoying me about my kids (like poopy diapers) all of a sudden they grow up a bit and are potty trained and I don’t have to deal with it anymore.
My dogs are loyal and fun and I love and spoil them, but it ain’t the same. Just not even the same ballpark.

Agreed on the vomit
You know you are a parent though when your kid starts puking and instead of diving for cover you are diving in trying to catch it before it hits, the sofa, carpet, the dog, etc…. Lesson learned by me, do not give a child with the stomach flu chocolate pudding no matter how much he or she begs. This is double if you have white carpeting….

you should see how nasty my carpet is
we were going to replace it so the newborn would have a clean surface to crawl around on and play. My friends who were already parent told me we were nuts and that it would just get trashed.
we kept the old stuff and obviously they were right. there is juice stains and stuff like that all over the place. the kid is getting better now(marginally) so we can replace it soon with less risk, and right now its nice to know the stuff on teh ground is temporary so the occasional spill isnt as stressful.
i'm getting the hardwood under the carpet refinished eventually
so I have had the carpet ripped up and cut into ghetto area rugs for months. every time he spills something or busts out the markers I’m glad I’m lazy.
once a child starts being able to predict the puke is coming, things get better
There was a time, when my daughter was a toddler, when she said she thought she was going to throw up. Five minutes before, she seemed 100% normal. So I started asking her, “really, are you sure? Where exactly does it hurt?” and then BLAAAAAAH all over me.
After that, if she said she didn’t feel good, I rush her to the bathroom, like MOVE! MOVE! I didnt stop to investigate and waste those precious 5 seconds.
Dave Martinez woulda had that.
Exactly
That’s why kids rule, they eventually figure stuff out and can tell you when things aren’t normal. And we all then adapt accordingly…
My dog, sadly, has started peeing everywhere in the house. I couldn’t figure out why, and he’ll never be able to tell me soemethings wrong nor be able to improve the situation (i.e. beg to go out when the emergency pee happens) Long story short, he has diabetes. Just waiting on the vet to get his insulin started.
Well, boys, it's a round ball and a round bat and you got to hit the ball square. ~Joe Schultz, 1969
Hope the vet solves it.
As an aside, imagine a parallel dimension. Years ago your vet, after consulting both friends and random strangers, decided he made the wrong choice and drops out of vet school. Because of this, your dog does not get the proper diagnosis and dies young of a treatable disease.
Now get your dog and your vet, and go make a Tebow-style TV commercial. Have the vet go on about being thankful he didnt drop out. Have the dog proselytize for veterinary medicine.
Dave Martinez woulda had that.

Just got back from the vet with the insulin tonight. It’s going to be kind of a pain getting the dosage right (i.e. I gotta stick some sort of glucose measuring stick in his stream of urine to test… I’m for sure getting peed on several times. Just mentally bracing myself now) But once we’re good, I’ll be able to sleep uniterupted. Which would be nice. Thanks

"Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York, and then he gets them a car to take them home the next day. Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter memorabilia, usually a signed baseball," the friend dished.

"He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!"

so it's halftime of the world club cup semi-final between al-sadd and barcelona. barcelona up 2-0.
and i’m asking myself which of these is the most absurd: the fact that in the middle of the season (and just hours after crushing real madrid) barcelona is made to fly to japan to play two matches in the fifa world club cup. the fact that they are playing a team from qatar. the fact that, although i missed the first 20 minutes, i saw al-sadd kick the ball no more than 14 times (though somehow barcelona is listed as having only 70% possession which i’m calling BS on and if i had to guess i would say is close to 95%). the fact that they showed that commercial for bod body spray (fragrance rebel) at least four times during halftime. the fact that i am watching the fifa world club cup at 5 in the morning.
ah well, second half starting. gotta go. ooh, just got a new one to add: the fact that alexis sanchez just took a dive in the box to try to win a penalty kick. that guy is a real piece of work. when he wasn’t being fantastic against madrid on saturday he was diving all over the field. i’m putting him on my list.

how often do people get subbed out in soccer
one or two a team per game? Do the people subbed out usually come back in and usually how long on the bench?
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
each team is allowed three subs. once out, subs cannot come back in.
if a team uses all three subs and then a player breaks his leg the team just has to play with ten men.
teams usually make at least one sustitution and often two or three. subs can be for different reasons: tactical, injury, just to rest a player, or sometimes to try to waste time. (don’t know if the wasting time part works or not. the referee is supposed to add time on to the end of the match if some time has gotten wasted (due to injury, a goal/goals being scored, or substitutions)). if a player being substituted does not get off the field in a timely manner he can be yellow carded.

Hey finance guys, can you answer a question about ETFs and wash sales?
Based on my reading of wash sale rules on Schwab.com, if I sell and ETF and buy the same class of ETF from a different company (let’s say I sell a small cap Schwab ETF and buy a small cap Vanguard ETF) it is NOT a wash.
But if I sell and buy different classes of ETFs from the same company, they are a wash. Is this correct? If so, that is dumb.
my understanding is that the wash sale rules look more at the substance vs. the form
for example, if you sell a stock and simultaneously buy a call option on the same issue, if you sold the stock at a loss, it would be a wash sale. so it really depends on the underlying economics: if you have the same exposure to market price risk, it’s probably going to be a wash sale.
If you sold e.g. a small-cap growth and bought small-cap value, i'd say that's probably different and wouldn't trigger a wash sale
(this is my authoritative opinion)
There is a poll out for the best Premier League goal ever

aside to hoodlight. what is the reputation of the show "shameless" over there?
i saw it a few years ago and really liked it. only the first season was available here on netflix so i bought a box set of the first six seasons (had to change the region for dvd player on my laptop to watch them.) been real lazy about watching it though. haven’t in a long time. probably still in the third season somewhere. i just noticed it still seems to be going over there, which surprised me. i imagine it may have been running too long and is well past it’s prime by now, but i’m not sure so that’s why i’m asking. (it’s my perception that you brits generally seem to have a better idea of when to stop things like this before they become a complete shambles)
they attempted to adapt it to the U.S. and set it in chicago. i watched a trailer of it and was mortified. i watched the first episode and that was all i could take. they should have called it “shameful” because it was brutal. they did a poor job of trying to adapt it, i thought. the closest equivalent here would be a trailer park but that’s not where they set it and it just didn’t work. (apparently it has had two seasons here (it’s on cable tv). don’t know if it’s set to continue.)

so, pool league tonight,
my team is up 3-1 in matches won, i’m playing this guy in a 4-4 race. even match, trading games, its 2-2, and i’m shooting. i’m taking my time lining up a pretty critical shot: if i make it and get shape, i can probably run out. he gets a beer whatever and comes back and start barking about time limits. i ignore him and continue to line up the shot. as i’m getting down to shoot, he stands up, gets in my face, and points to his watch. i reset, shoot, make it, then end up losing the game. whatever, games are won and lost.
as i’m racking, i say some shit to him, and shit gets heated. he gets in my face, i get in his face, almost came to blows. its like, i understand i might’ve taken too long, but i’m not being a dick here, fucking SAY IT TO ME POLITELY. respect me as a peer, you know? i’m not stalling, i’m not dilly dallying, i’m not checking my phone. i’m lining up a very important shot.

After an apparent period of introspection, he has vowed to reform. “I now promise to concentrate fully on football,” he said. "It means that in the upcoming time I won’t be involved in extracurricular activities – like too many parties or interviews about my persona. Trust takes time to build and I now can see how quickly it disappears.
“I admit my sense of judgment has been less than perfect lately. Going forward, I will do all I can do in order to honour the trust that you, my fans, my friends and my lovely family show me every single day. Nothing short of the best is good enough for you and it is something I haven’t produced for you lately. See you – on the pitch. Warm greetings, Nicklas.”

very sorry to hear this Rhub
a co-worker of mine and his friends recently started a suicide-prevention organization, aimed at middle-school and high-school aged kids. if anyone can use it as a resource, mentioning it will have been worthwhile.
I'm alright, it just gets frustrating. When will these people realize? For example both Tim (yesterday) and Fever (earlier this year) were at Wally's memorial (2003), fuckers
I think i should probably work one of these hotlines because suicide has impacted my life in several ways and people need to learn how much it fucks the families and friends up after they are gone. That is reason enough for me to never do it, not that I ever would.

“I’ve heard other engineers say [people committing suicide] look at you. I don’t know why they do it. I sure wish they wouldn’t, because the picture stays with you. You try to forget about it, but you don’t ever, really. It ain’t easy.”

The examples they give in that link are just awful. One of the engineers killed 7 people (6 suicides) over his career.

that if you hit so many people they’d retire you on the spot and pay you for the rest of your days.

a friend of mine hung himself a few years back and it was, as you say, fucking awful. i still feel angry at him.
though the worst of it was that his death was played out in the national press because he was a minor celebrity, so most of my shock and mourning was played out with that in the background. he had been a half of one of the first gay celebrity marriages in britain. the tabloid press are fucking scum.
sorry man
it’s hard to count your blessings for some. you’re in my prayers, as well as your friends. I had a cousin step in front of a train a few years ago as well. it really screwed with my uncle’s head. he couldn’t come to grips with why his son couldn’t talk to someone.

Daniel Ruettiger, the legendary Notre Dame football underdog who inspired the 1993 movie “Rudy,” couldn’t do an end run around the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC on Friday charged Ruettiger and 12 others with running a stock scam associated with Rudy Nutrition — a company Ruettiger founded to try to compete against Gatorade in the sports drink market.
The company sold modest amounts of the sports drink “Rudy” with the tagline “Dream Big! Never Quit!” but the company was primarily a pump-and-dump stock scheme that created more than $11 million in illicit profits, the SEC said.

Hollinger's Thumbs up or down FA moves
Richard Hamilton to Bulls, three years, $15 million: Thumbs up
The Bulls need another scorer to take some of the heat (and Heat) off Derrick Rose, but let me throw a twist on this: I’m wondering if Chicago should bring Hamilton off the bench. The Bulls’ second unit last season played suffocating defense but was basically playing for a scoreless tie; put Hamilton with that group in place of Kyle Korver and they can generate a lot more shots with the same defensive effectiveness.
Regardless of how he’s used, this a major upgrade on Keith Bogans. It’s not without risk, however, as Hamilton is 33 and my system’s projection for him this season was nastily pessimistic. I think he’ll prove better than that, as he’s one of the best-conditioned players in the game, but it warrants mentioning.
Still, this was a better option than Jamal Crawford, Chicago’s other realistic midlevel exception pursuit, and since the third year is only partially guaranteed, they’ve limited some of the downside risk.
Finally, this was an especially important signing for Chicago because it is built to win now. Yes, there is a lot of young talent, but other teams are going to start chipping away at it once all these guys become free agents; if the Bulls are a tax team, it’s going to be hard to justify keeping Taj Gibson or Omer Asik in the face of an inflated offer sheet from another team.
Chicago will have four players making over $12 million dollars in 2013-14, the first year the league’s draconian tax penalties kick in, and that’s going to have an effect further down the roster. That’s why the right approach is to try to get all the W’s they can over the next two seasons and deal with the fallout later.

i agree with his assessment
also, a point i’ve seen made is how much Rip’s D frustrates DWade. I remember hearing the stories that the reason Wade started wearing arm sleeves was because during Pistons / Heat playoff rounds, Rip would purposefully leave his fingernails uncut, so he’d scratch up Wade’s arms playing defense on him. how awesome is that?

I just wrote a country study paper and powerpoint on North Korea a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see the transition of power to his young son goes.
by Shoeless In SC on Dec 19, 2011 8:11 AM CST up reply actions
I think the North Korean ppl will benefit.
How much though remains to be seen. His position was the Chairman of the Defense Committee, a position he also proclaimed was the highest in the government. So, he allocated much of NK’s limited electricity and fuel resources towards boosting its military (at the expense of just about everything else). The whole country experiences nationwide blackouts in a government effort to conserve fuel. Imagine what that’s like for hospitals and homes. Less resources put towards the military would help their people immensely. Whether those in the Korean Worker’s Party approve of that remains to be seen. Plus, his antagonist nature against SK and the US prevented trade and foreign aid in times of crisis (which they experience often with all the flooding). With him out of the picture I’d expect relations between those countries to improve and so will the people.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that the KWP is still a communist party and they are the sole party in government. Thus, human rights and individual freedoms are going to be limited unless they either move towards more democratic principles or the North Korean people overthrow the government. With the head position in the government controlling the armed forces, (and one of the largest armies in the world) you’d see how that’d be difficult to accomplish. Whomever controls that immense army is going to control the country. Some are predicting a power struggle but I don’t see it. They have a state religion so the people worship(ped) Kim Jong Il, his father, and I expect them to now worship his son.

i was reading a piece on zerohedge from an analyst (Goohon Kwon) at Goldman Sachs on the subject: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/goldmans-take-kim-jonh-ils-demise
We do not see much immediate impact on the economy of South Korea while political uncertainties are rising in the North. First, the poor health of the leader has been well known and both sides of the Korean peninsula have been in preparation for this contingency for several years. The North Korea regime has already selected Kim, Jung-un, the leaders’ third son, as the successor. The South Korean government has a contingency plan, entailing counter measures ranging from intensive monitoring to market interventions and possible support from allies and international financial institutions.
Second, economic linkages between South and North Korea are very limited with little contagion from possible regime change in the North Korea. Bilateral trade has been relatively stagnant since the sinking of the Chonan naval ship and the shelling of Yeonpyung Island, with total bilateral trade at around US$1 billion (see Rising North Korean risks do not alter our positive KRW view, Korea Views, April 23, 2010). The Kaesung Industrial Complex, the only remaining joint venture between the South and North, is operating normally.

I would not be as optimistic as you.
He is young and unestablished. I think the first thing he will do is to make some sort of power play to establish himself both internally (to prove to the party that he is strong enough to lead) and internationally (to prove that he isn’t weak). This move probably will some minor firing over a bow or stop a ship – but this is all just speculation.
I think we also need to realize how brainwashed the N. Korean people are. Being so isolated, the group think at play will probably lead to the same old policies continuing – at least in the short term. Hopefully the human rights get better, but I have no reason to be optimistic about this.
I do think that South Korea will probably use this as an opportunity to try to soften up relations.

i'm not trying to be dismissive at all
if anything i’m arguing with hoodie’s dismissiveness, if that’s what is. maybe it’s a media diference? the way that those 2 movies mentioned are shot and shown, makes me think “kid’s movie”, or, not overly dark / adult. (our definitions in this discussion seem particularly arbitrary). whereas when you read a book like the odyssey, which you’re right has very similar material and i would not call a kid’s book, its your imagination that creates the scenes in your mind.
back to dark knight: it is to me a much more visceral film, in the way its shoot and alot of the action that takes place. the camera is shaking with intensity during some of the more high-pressure moments.

Texas has the money, clearly. But their front office has decided that he’s at least worth bidding on, and if his price is too high, they can walk away no problem. Given their on-field talent the last few years, I trust Darvish to be at least close to worth it, if he ends up with a deal.

I get some of that.
But he had a 60-something passer rating in the NFC championship game last year against the Packers. His only real game time experience last year. He was undrafted out of Colorado St.

yep, look at the pases the Bears were asking him to make
Nothing complex, except 7 step drops & progressive reads which he failed miserably at the 1st couple of games. Last game (didn’t see all of Denver) they had him in 3 step drops mostly w/quick hitters & some screens; all makeable throws for a fair to average QB. I don’t think he threw the ball beyond 20yds except INT in end zone; maybe also on Knox’ injury, I don’t know what that yardage was.

what i can see is the Bears avoiding the obvious IMHO: Enderle (? sp) & McCown. If they don’t want to go down the same road, they need to get wise & write off this season & see what these 2 can do. After hearing Lovie yesterday, I doubt that’s what will happen.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

not too shabby
woulda liked a two year ban. and i want to know how the schollie cut works exactly.
So fast he could hit a ball up the middle and it would hit him in the ass sliding into second.
Hm.
Not really unexpected. I am glad they didn’t get by with a slap on the wrist…
Although this doesn’t look so good for SC’s future. SC’s self-imposed 3 year probation, repayment of benefits, demotion of the compliance officer, and reduction of scholarships and visits doesn’t sound adequate anymore compared to OSU’s penalties.

good.
i actually didn’t have a problem with the hand ball in the world cup, but after he bit that guy PSV and now that i’ve gotten to see him play a bunch i’ve put him on my list. his diving and whining is out of control.
excellent game on espn3 right now. the two worst teams (blackburn and bolton) in a relegation battle.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck

"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
yeah i'm with you,
if i had a list he would be #1 on it. its the first time they’ve ruled on a racism charge, right? i was expecting like 3 games or something.
also, how did arsenal lose to blackburn earlier? ugh
Easy chief
We’re a community - Tdogg
he is a very good player though.
was excellent against villa the other day.
they’ll miss him, carroll is looking like the biggest waste of money since rangers spent 10 million on tore-andre flo.
oh, i know he's good. it isn't worth it to me though.
i wouldn’t want him on a team i root for. for me, as a neutral though, his negative antics outweigh his skill. i root for bad things to happen to him.
as for his suspension, i guess he’s appealing so it won’t take effect right away. i’m not buying what he’s selling though. even if he was using a word that in his culture isn’t offensive he should know better. and if he didn’t know better, well, he does now.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
good article about it from tim vickery on the bbc:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/16262537.stm
eight games is harsh, but there is no set ban for this kind of thing. he will definitely know now, yep.
did you see liverpool now want evra charged with racism?
oy, what a mess. obviously we’re never going to know exactly what was said. i feel pretty certain that suarez was trying to wind up evra and that he said something referencing his skin color (i doubt he was playfully joking around with him). whether or not felt he was saying something racist we don’t know. whether or not he knew what he was saying could be construed as racist, also, don’t know. of course, i could be wrong.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
i saw them complaining about it being evra's word against his, which is a fair point.
but they need to let it drop.
they said evra said something derogatory to him in spanish and possibly called him a "south american".
(of course then that would just be suarez’s word against evra’s) (i don’t know what any of the people they interviewed said. you’ve got to think somebody heard something, but then there’s always the issue of getting people to tell the truth which for some motherfucking reason seems damn near impossible)
and we’re just hours, maybe minutes, away from hearing if terry will be charged. can’t imagine terry doing anything like that. he clearly seems like a great guy.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
and there we are. that was fast.
breaking news. terry to face criminal charges.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
and just thought of this. why is terry being criminally charged but not suarez?
and what will they give terry, an ASBO?
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
you pointed out the "he said, he said" aspect of the suarez situation.
they have video with terry. terry, as you also point out, is a huge douche. i recall what he did on 9/12/01. “negro” (in spanish) and “black cunt” also seem like somewhat different levels of racism and, without reading the english law, that may play a role. also, it’s liverpool versus london.
hard to believe they don't have some video of suarez. there's like a bajillion cameras at those games.
clearly terry’s problem is being too dumb to cover his mouth as he racially abuses someone like busquets for barcelona did last year.
it seems very possible suarez is getting hosed. also, i just read that one of his grandfathers is black. hadn’t heard that before.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
nevermind, found an article.
it had this quote in it:
“I’m certain I’ve got the right man in John Terry. I’m convinced he will prove to be one of the best captains England has ever had.” – Steve McClaren, England manager
this has to be a whoosh attempt?
if not, i’m sure larry is using the non european style of writing the date. have you never heard what terry did right after 9-11?
if so, consider me whooshed.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
i was being sarcastic, interpreting the date that way.
i think i knew about what he’d done, but had forgotten. i’ve always disliked him.
i understand.
what really made it confusing for me was that i assumed you actually did look up an article from 2001 and i couldn’t understand how they could be talking about terry being captain when he wasn’t named until 2006. a bit more thinking and i probably could have worked it out.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
career retrospective in the independent at the point when he was named captain.
shoulda provided a link.
it was funny reading them have a go at beckham whilst praising terry and dismissing the shit he’d done as youthful mishaps. japes, even.
hey, look everyone, you can vote for which was worse

"I considered throwing a volley, but since I'm considerably closer to Ford City than Dodge City, I figure it might have been misinterpreted."
paraprosdokian
Here is the definition:
“Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a humorous situation.”
“Where there’s a will, I want to be in it,” is a type of paraprosdokian.
1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on my list.
3. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak..
4. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
6. War does not determine who is right – only who is left.
7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8. Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good Evening,’ and then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.
9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
10. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.
12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says, ‘In case of emergency, notify:’ I put ‘DOCTOR.’
13. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
15. Behind every successful man is his woman.. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.
17. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
18. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
19. Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.
20. There’s a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can’t get away.
21. I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure.
22. You’re never too old to learn something stupid.
23. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
24. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.
25. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
26. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
27. A diplomat is someone who tells you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip.
28. Hospitality is making your guests feel at home even when you wish they were.
29. I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila.
30. When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.
