Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 6/23/2011

The EDSBS.com URL is not working for some reason today, but the full name still works fine. We're efforting a solution to this.

BOULDERPORN. it does feel a bit like a promo video you'd be trapped into watching on a cheap airline (waddup Spirit!) but it's a start on the Boulderporn recruiting strategy Colorado should embrace in recruiting.

Now, if they could just get some black people in there, we'd have ourselves a stew, Buffs. (HT: Jason Kirk.)

WANTED: FOOTBALL PLAYERS. Will Muschamp will be a bit short-handed because we don't have many football players, and that is precisely what you want to hear going into a football season what with guaranteed injury, smashiness, and violence on the horizon. Perhaps we can ask Northern Alabama for a few extras? Just loaners, man. We'll have 'em back in time for next fall. Don't be a dick about this, Terry. You owe us for your one moment of glory in 1994.


BECAUSE YOU NEED HELP KEEPING UP WITH ALL OF THEM. Our favorite Ohio State scandal? We're partial to Golf-gate, if only to imagine the conversations between Terrelle Pryor and the businessmen on the course.

Businessman: So, you gettin' it?

Pryor: Yeah, man.

Businessman: Really gettin' it? Like you know--[makes disgusting, spastic sex miming]

Pryor: Not like that, no. [Drives to next hole in one of 17 cars] 

If you're having trouble keeping track of them all, well, there are helpful cheat sheets for you to use. Ohio State's bigwigs met yesterday for undisclosed reasons, but we'll assume it was to look at pictures of an oiled-up Urban Meyer in a swimsuit for a few hours of group appreciation.

CAM NEWTON'S MAGICAL BAG OF CRAPPY BALLOONS. We enjoy GQ's ability to take anyone and make them look like a learning-disabled preppie. What's in this fall? Highwater pants, sweaters, more sweaters, scarves, Under Armour, and lugging around random bags of balls you pretend are the world's shittiest balloons.

BRADY HOKE WILL NOT HESITATE TO DROP THE K-WORD IN NEGATIVE RECRUITING. We hope this is true for so many reasons: the huffy appalled grumbling about this not being conduct appropriate for a Michigan Man, a renewed savagery between Michigan and Ohio State on the recruiting trail, and the trend of using Lane Kiffin's name as the worst thing you can say about a recruiter.

He's telling these guys that OSU will get hit harder than USC and they "shouldn't fall for the same (stuff) Lane Kiffen sold all those SC recruits."

To Kiffin is a verb now, yes? As in "to Kiffinate?", or to recruit someone under misleading or otherwise dodgy circumstances? We'll need a ruling from the OED, because to hell with that weakass Webster's shit.

HUGS FOR WISCONSIN. Let's just have a big group him, y'all.

LOOKIN' SEXY, MIKE SLIVE. We kid. Slive's not that tall, and everyone knows he doesn't have the legs to pull off that outfit.

One of the nice things about English is that you can take any noun and verb it.

As in, to make a verb out of it. So long as there is an understood meaning behind the new verb.

Therefore, let’s open the floor for the dictionary entries for the verb “to kiffin”. Go.

Depends on the contract type work, I guess

People use it derogatorily, but had I not been where I was, I would have been more than happy never to leave the FOB. As it was, I didn’t leave the last 3 weeks I was there, I think. Things got kinda hot at that point, and I was taking no chances just to get a meal at the US DFAC down the road.

I stay within the same small area everyday

and that’s it. There isn’t really a need for me to move around the FOB anyway as I’m just an admin gopher so everything I need is in my office. I wanted to get an escort badge so I could at least go to the ECP but I knew my supervisor would just turn down my request. I went to the APO about two weeks ago which is on the other side of the FOB and that was literally the farthest I had traveled since arriving here…

It sounds like your area is terribly nasty anyways

so you’re likely not missing much. Herat was pretty quiet for most of my time there, so we could actually do things if we were smart about it. Went one night with some of our civ contractors (ours were handshaker outside the wire types) in civ clothes to dinner downtown at the USAID compound. That was awesome. Real food, good times.

Not wanting to get in the realm of our 8-legged friends, but not having been to Iraq, it’s interesting to hear the way you tell it vs. the “oh, Sunni Awakening, everything’s fine, we can leave and they can take care of it, no problems, not like Afghanistan”…

…and then we announce we’re leaving Afghanistan, where the idiots on the “government” side can’t tie their own sandal laces, much less have had any sort of wake-up call like the Iraqis supposedly did. But yeah, let’s leave, because I’m sure things will go swell.

The worst part in all of this

which you probably already know is just all the god forsaken rumor mongering that goes on around here. Every single day “something” has “changed” which is not dictating the outcome of the project and contract. There is absolutely no conclusive facts or details and if we are told something it’s not even at face value which then just leaves everybody to interpret and guess what is going to happen next.

This all leads to the worse part of it and this comes solely from the contractor side of the game and that is everyone is becoming cut throat and building a case against someone in the department. I am truthfully more worried about the ass covering and finger pointing than I am any random IDF and that’s just freaking sad. No lie. I’ve had more stress related headache’s due to individuals just not owning up to their bullshit and trying to ruin as many other’s as possible.

Seriously, I hear you. You should have seen the ass covering when McChrystal got canned last summer. Being as I worked in an office that was one of his and his boy Flynn’s pet projects, people were performing advanced anal gymnastic maneuvers to justify their programs’ existence and the like. It was rather amusing to watch people go from “Oh, I don’t have to listen to you, I work directly for McChrystal” to “hey, can you help me out with XYZ…”

Actually, yes.

I’m currently filling out the paperwork (like on my other big screen) for a building my company helped design and I performed the Enhanced Commissioning. The building cost above non-LEED spec’d replica was in the range of 7%, but the overall energy savings will be 26% under the eQuest model. Payback in less than 5 years.

So it CAN be economical, especially looking forwards at rising energy costs.

MEP design will save you money and really isn’t that much more expensive. IT’S DESIGN WORK. It’s the architectural crap that will fuck over a budget. Plus developers/owners still have to get the original sum of money and people still aren’t lending.

But that’s where the cost savings is. That could have been easily mandated without this “buy local” crap for materials. It’s tough, and it’s expensive. And most people who want to build LEED (not green mind you) don’t realize it. Actually BUILDING to save waste, and commission a building is a completely different thing.

In my county, one can install one's own electrical if you can pass a test about the code

The county will then inspect it, and you save big $$ by DIY.

I bought the US electrical code book and started studying the section for home wiring. I was doing OK until I came to a section about wiring three-way switches, and one diagram said “This is safe” and the other said “This will burn your house down.”

Now I’m not very stupid, and I do what I do with databases very well — but when I looked at those two diagrams and couldn’t figure out the difference between them, I tossed the book in the trash and called a contractor.

Sucks in this area, though, because I still have to pay an electrician or a plumber to get a permit. Even though I do all of the work, I have to pay some schlep to come along behind me and sign his name on a piece of paper.

It’s too bad they didn’t do his makeup better. Martin described him as being so vane that he wouldn’t admit that he was going bald, so he shaved his head. And then he grew out some big ass sideburns. In my mind, he was much badassier than his character/actor looks.

My son is 6,

and he got his first compass for his birthday. I spent half my vacation last week helping him determine the ship’s heading, and assisting him with plotting our voyage on a small map. We checked his progress daily against the big LED map onboard, and discussed any variations between his map and the ship’s version. By the end of the cruise, he had the hang of it. He may not be able to tie his shoes well, but he will be able to read a map in case of an emergency, dag nabbit.

He’s 5 1/2, and has a pretty good directional sense for that age. Unfortunately it seems hard to get decent maps here in Hawaii. I don’t know if that’s because everything is GPS now so people don’t buy them, or what, but I want to get him something he can follow along with in the car as we drive.

Don’t get me wrong, GPS has its place, and I’m glad we have them in the military. But you shouldn’t have to pull it out to tell you how to get to the town that’s DUE SOUTH OF YOU ON THE SAME HIGHWAY YOU ARE CURRENTLY STANDING ON.

We're bid in size

Adding to longs and covering shorts since mid morning. I’d put money (well, I AM putting money) that mkt closes down only 50bps or less. Defensive sectors aren’t bid and volume is anemic which tells me there is minimal conviction behind the sell off.

Reason behind is multi-fold, look back to what I said in early May about oil px crimping demand, continue to see that trickle thru in the eco data. Yday The Bernank admitted a bit of frustration with data, said they wouldn’t be putting forward a QE3 (yet) but the option isn’t off the table. Then this morning the IEA said they’d be dumping oil supply into the market to support demand – which is curious b/c crude px been crumbling even if supplies are tight? So crude sold off as much as $5 bucks this morning, torpedoeing the shit out of the energy equities. Energy big component of the indexes, so sell off looks worse from the surface. Underlying bid in retail, tech and transports.

tl;dr: shit’s still fucked up, but not as bad as it could be.

You said you work for letter D right

at one of their regulated plants – so doesn’t apply too much to your work but still fits within the sector. When your employer decides to start sending LNG out from Cove Point tho, you let me know.

But gas px, to reply to all of you, are loosely impacted by the move in crude – but not 1 for 1. The IEA news was mostly to help out the Euros – their refineries can only process the lightest, sweetest crude. There’s a severe shortage of that on the world markets, so to help ease their pain, the Saudis and the US are releasing some sweet stuff out into the market.

Wholesale gasoline was down about 11c, or ~4%, today.

Don't tease me

IE and I got so excited when we saw a DoCoMo office down in Waikiki. We walked in, and found it was only customer support for tourists visiting in Japan. Sigh.

Hey Oliver Luck, I'm tired of being the winningest football program to have never won a National Championship. Thank you for doing something about that.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program for WORK RAEG!!!

I’ve spent the last day and a half putting together a presentation for some technical training I was asked to do for our sales organization, and sent the draft to the coordinator. this is the email I get in response:

Marketing and Sales groups recently had a discussion about the training programs that we are hosting. I have had to postpone this weeks training program in order to have Marketing and Sales review the presentations, and determine if they are “Sales Ready”.
Therefore, I would like propose that you do not expend to much more energy in pulling these presentations together until I get a chance to work this new development with Sales.
I appreciate your efforts to date but I also do now want to waste your time if we determine a different format. Please stay tune.

Really? You coudn’t have mentioned this yesterday before I spent 8 hours on this, motherfucker?

The deadline on this presentation went from:
late August to mid July to tomorrow to …..oh wait nevermind we don’t need it.

Update to the update: SUDDENLY THIS IS LESS AMUSING

Skinner: Licking envelopes can be fun! You can make a game of it.

Bart: What kind of game?

Skinner: Well, for example, you could see how many you could lick in an hour. Then try to break that record.

Bart: Sounds like a pretty crappy game to me.

Skinner: Yes, well… get started.
