THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/27/2012

PrintSO HE CAN CONTINUE DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING.
Greg Schiano left Rutgers in immensely better shape after a tenure in which he rebuilt the program, beat Louisville that one time (VIVA SAN SAN TE), and is now going to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Schiano, being a defense-first grinder who seemingly always went 8-4, seems perfect for the pro game while being an utter disaster as a resignator, leaving his team just prior to signing day. (To be fair, he alerted administrators with ample lead-in, and did his due diligence there by all reports.) Being under the gun and writing this in a hurry, we have no reaction but "Well, sure, and you'll go hire Mario Cristobal and keep going 8-4 and getting people to overpay for Big East tv contracts because 'Rutgers is New York's college football team.'"
A SHOCKING DISCUSSION OF SOMEONE BEING SHAMELESS IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY. Big East Coast Bias points it out at length, but yes, Chuck Neinas, there is some deep irony in accusing Mizzou of being disloyal when you're in the midst of a pretty grand poaching spree yourself. YOUR GIRL CALLED ME, DAWG, DON'T HATE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T RELATE.
AN ATTRACTIVE STRUCTURE THAT CAN BE ROLLED. You do it to yourself, yes, and that's what really hurts, Auburn.
CREEPING SABANIZATION. Remember the maxim about generals always being ready to fight the last war? If Michael's expansion on the Creeping Sabanization of the SEC is accurate, then this is precisely what we have going on in our beloved league of dipstained hayseed champions all taking the wrong lessons from Alabama's success.
YALIES GONNA YALE. In every person's life, no matter their social station or education, one must choose between Harvard or Yale. Reading this expose of why Yale QB Patrick Witt's Rhodes Scholarship application was withdrawn, and you should be leaning slightly Crimson this morning, or at least until you remember that people from both schools are concocting elaborate plans to legitimate the sale of spare kidneys on the open market, and then rig a futures market on said kidneys to purchase a third estate in Connecticut.
IT'S ROUGH OUT IN PALO ALTO. 4.0 and a 26 on the ACT. GET STEPPIN', REDBIRD GROUP READER.
THIS IS NOT REAL. It is however truthy enough to enjoy, and then weep for the lack of reading comprehension one must have in order to not be able to suss out football by buying a book about it.

(To be fair, he alerted administrators with ample lead-in, and did his due diligence there by all reports.)
The story I heard is that his assistants had no fucking clue he even left until he didn’t show up at 8am at Don Bosco to fucking recruit Darius Hamilton and other players. So yeah, he’s still a gigantic asshole and mediocre as fuck.
Also congratulations on the new Tri-state defensive lineman Spencer.

no mention of the massive delay in our official notice due to

Oh, is that the spin now?
You’re claiming Missouri intended to leave all along, even when they were yapping about unity and keeping the Big 12 together before all of a sudden declining to get in the boat with everyone else and grant their rights to the conference?
Well, in that case, everything Neinas said is true. Here I was just assuming he was posturing.

According to the proposal, the thicker two ply is more harmful to our new trees. It goes without saying that the ban on new-fangled quilted toilet papers should continue.

OH NO.
I’m being very literal. My current plan is use them as a rabbit and run within 15 feet of them the entire race and hope I can out sprint them in the final half mile. If I can’t, well, there may be a full body tackle on the jumbo-tron 15 feet before the finish line…I want them to finish. Just finish behind me.

I’m slow as hell, but I’ve kept it up and will run my 13th consecutive Cherry Blossom in April.

Mine never went above 4.0 either.
You got a grade boost for honors or AP, but you never got above a 4.0 regardless. I don’t see the point of going above that. It just makes it more difficult to understand and really isn’t good for much but penis-comparing, maybe more for parents who live vicariously through their kids than the kids themselves.

For a lot of people in authority over small children,
the big deal with a lot of the behavior of kids with ADHD is said authority figures’ own impatience and inability to deal with kids being fucking kids.

We’re taking a class at Tripler on how to handle/create better situations for your ADHD kid. The Dr. is talking about different coping mechanisms, and I’m thinking to myself “duh, doesn’t everyone do that?” It’s only now that I’m realizing, no, no they don’t. It’s just stuff I naturally ended up doing to get through what I needed to. We figure that between school just being different 30 years ago, and me not being quite as hyper (I was more the super intense focused on one thing type), it never was a problem and so I never had to think about it.

It’s frustrating, because I can’t separate out what’s “normal” from what’s “ADHD” sometimes. Kids get focused on things—is having to tell him to go brush his teeth twice a problem? Is that not normal? Or is it not normal when you’ve gotten to time 5? These are the questions I want the doctor to answer, and he’s dancing around them.

I know that, but it's hard because I'm now realizing that my behavior
and what I consider “normal” isn’t “normal”. So I need someone to give me a reference point. It doesn’t help that the doc teaching the class is gearing it mostly to 10 year olds and above. My son is 6. Normal behavior at 6 can be severe ADHD behavior at age 12 if the kid is still doing it. So when he talks about certain behavior that my son has, I’m trying to get him to spell out and be specific about it, and he wants to be too general.

/nods head
I have found it helpful to stay away from “normal” as a definition. My kids are who they are and they do what they do. They can learn to do things when they are told and they can learn to not allow themselves to be distracted. It takes more effort for them than other kids, though.
Don’t wait around for a doctor to give you a definitive answer like “if you tell them three times, that is enough. Start hitting.” They won’t. They know all kids have different triggers and different blockers.
Mostly, I just roll with it and try to stay patient.

I'm pretty okay with the "if it's not a problem for you, it's not a problem"
but then they start in with the “here’s the list of horrible things that happen to ADHD kids if they don’t get treatment by age X” and all that. So I’m like, okay, is it just that it’s not a problem TO ME, because I think it’s normal, and if I don’t fix it, he’s going to be a 16 year old meth addict? I know I’m over reacting, but they make things very stressful.

In fairness, it was a religion class that was right after lunch
So, depending on how much sleep I’d gotten the night before and how big of a lunch I’d eaten that day, I was either wound up like crazy, or dead tired/food coma’ing.
Also, this is why in my classroom, we do a lot of moving around and a lot of “not sitting in one place” – I can’t sit still like that, so I don’t expect them to.

My favorite HS math teacher (of the two) . . .
. . . had his classroom done so that all three interior walls were covered with chalkboards. We spent ~35 minutes out of 45 every day up at the boards, and he taught nearly everything by working you through examples. He’d also intersperse his best students with the ones who were struggling, and the latter were sometimes told to sit the next problem out while watching and asking questions of the person next to them. It’s low-tech, but pretty effective. And great for kids who hate sitting still.

Their sliding scale for the ACT is 36-80. http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Quick_Reference_Sheet.pdf
Assuming that the act score is the normal 26 – then my only other guess would be he didn’t take the right courses. The brother of a former Tech player was not accepted to GT because he hadn’t taken enough semesters of math.
26 is a decent score, well above average.

ACT's concordance chart . . .

You're right.
Only Coldplay:Radiohead approaches an Oasis:Beatles level of accuracy.

Meh
The way it’s going, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get stuck in a relegation battle in the next couple seasons.
Bellamy probably won't last at Premier level past next season
I suspect he’ll start falling like Fowler did
Even at one game a week, he can deliver the goods that the rest of the team can't seem to do
He is tied for being the top scorer at Liverpool in the league despite only having started 6 matches
Kuyt has really fallen off the cliff though this season though, he’s always been good for at least 10 goals a season for Liverpool but he’s only got one this entire season in all competitions.
He kinda sneaks up on teams
but scores throughout the season
I want this, just to see Liverpool fans' reactions
Liverpool as the next Leeds?
/trollface.jpg
Never deny, rarely affirm, always distinguish
relegation was almost certain to happen had H&G kept the team and Hodgson stayed on
Now it’s merely ‘not a surprise’ if we wind up in a relegation battle
As for the next Leeds, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. As putrid as Liverpool has been this season, they are still only 6 points off of Chelsea and a CL spot.

You could look at the corruption inside the bathhouse as being a metaphor for Japan’s adoption of Western business and cultural practices in a way that clashes with and diminishes traditional aspects of their culture. I just read all of that on Wikipedia, I have no idea.

See what I mean?
Chihiro Ogino, a 10-year-old girl, moves with her parents to a new town when they become lost and find what appears to be an abandoned amusement park. Chihiro’s father insists on exploring it, and she and her mother reluctantly accompany him. Chihiro’s parents sample the food at an unattended stall. After Chihiro wanders off and finds a grand bathhouse, a boy approaches and warns her to leave before nightfall. When Chihiro runs back to her parents, she finds they have been transformed into pigs4, and the park starts to swarm with black spirits.
She eventually learns from Haku, the boy she had met earlier, that her family has become trapped in the spirit world. He also reveals that he had known her since she was a child. Haku brings Chihiro to the bathhouse where he tells her to see Kamaji, a six-armed man who works the boiler room, to ask for a job. Rejecting Chihiro’s request, Kamaji entrusts her to Lin, a bathhouse worker. Lin takes her to see Yubaba, the witch who runs the bathhouse. Denying Chihiro’s request to work, Yubaba eventually allows her to work on the condition that her name is changed to Sen (千?), the first character of Chihiro’s name. Having been told from Haku that Yubaba controls her servants by taking their names, Chihiro is warned that if she forgets her real name, she will be trapped in the world forever.
While working as Lin’s assistant, Sen allows a mysterious masked spirit to enter. Later, a “stink spirit” enters the bathhouse. Sen eventually cleans the stink spirit, revealing himself to be a spirit of a polluted river. In return for restoring his health, the river spirit bestows upon Sen an emetic dumpling.
Sen eventually realizes Haku is actually a dragon. While still a dragon, Haku is seriously injured by shikigami in the form of paper birds. Yubaba decides that the injured Haku is no longer of any use to her and leaves her servants to kill Haku. Sen attempts to protect Haku, however, at which point, the shikigami are revealed to be controlled by the spirit of Zeniba, Yubaba’s twin sister. Zeniba informs Sen that Haku stole her gold seal on Yubaba’s orders and demands that the gold seal be returned. In the process, Zeniba transforms Boh, Yubaba’s large baby son, into a mouse and Yubaba’s bird into a smaller bird. Yubaba’s other servants are transformed to look like Boh. Haku and Sen manage to escape from Zeniba and fall into the boiler room again, where Sen feeds Haku part of the dumpling. Haku coughs up the gold seal and a black slug, which Sen crushes with her foot. Kamaji gives Sen train tickets to visit Zeniba so that she can beg her to lift the curse on the seal. Boh, in his mouse form, and the bird accompany her.
Meanwhile, the masked spirit that Sen allowed into the bathhouse reveals himself as a monster called “No Face (Kaonashi).” No Face, who swallows one of the servants, a frog, in order to speak, offers gold to the staff in exchange for large quantities of food. As No Face continues to eat, it grows in size. Its insatiable appetite causes it to swallow several other employees and it ultimately reaches immense proportions. Later, Sen feeds No Face the remainder of the dumpling, causing him to regurgitate everything and everyone it has eaten. Restored to his prior inoffensive form, No Face also accompanies Sen to Zeniba’s house.
Haku regains consciousness and learns that Sen has gone to see Zeniba. Yubaba, enraged by both the damage caused by No Face and Sen’s departure, orders Sen’s parents to be killed. Haku appears and warns Yubaba that something precious to her has been replaced, and she realizes that Boh has disappeared. Telling her that Boh is with Zeniba, Haku proposes should he return Boh, Yubaba will allow Sen and her parents to return the human world. Yubaba agrees on the condition that Sen pass one final test.
Sen, Boh, and No Face arrive at Zeniba’s house and find Zeniba to be friendly. Zeniba says Sen’s love broke the seal’s spell, and the slug Sen killed was the curse Yubaba had used to enslave Haku. Haku appears in his dragon form to pick up Sen and Boh, while No Face remains with Zeniba. Realizing that Sen once fell into the Kohaku River as a child, she guesses Haku is the spirit of the river who saved her, freeing Haku from Yubaba’s spell.
Haku returns Boh to Yubaba, and Sen, now called Chihiro, is offered a final test to guess her parents from a group of pigs. She correctly answers that none of them are her parents. Haku leads her towards the entrance of the park and promises they will see each other again. Chihiro reunites with her parents, who do not recall their experiences, and the family departs from the park. It is implied that a period of time has passed and it is unclear whether or not time passed at the same rate.

You're probably right
My driver, 5-wood, and irons have three vastly different shafts. In a given month, I can usually dial one of them in, but never all three.
Hows about...
“I am just not that good.” I, for one, can pretty regularly hit my 3 iron as long as many of my playing partner hit their 3 wood. the thing is, an all too high percentage of my shot don’t exactly go straight. But when they do, damn. And it isn’t because I try to crush every shot. I almost never swing more than 80%.
Biggest thing I've been trying to work on in my game
Fighting the urge to swing 100% every time when I need distance.
I’ve done myself no favors by waiting until age 26 to pick up the game. Also, starting rec softball heavily around the same time didn’t help. Turns out that trying to figure out a softball swing and a golf swing at the same time doesn’t work well.

I offer a different point about starting later
it is better for a lot of players because you don’t go through the same changes that a lot of players who started young.
I was a very good player in grade/middle school (par-ish rounds from the ladies tees), hit a growth spurt, everything started moving differently, got frustrated and only played on/off in HS. Picked it back up in college and got most of the skills back. Creeping closer to par-ish rounds again, but from the backs. But it’s easier to change things now since everything is the same size it’s going to be, but working out has changed some of my distances so ‘touch’ shots are now my downfall.

Best thing I ever did for my golf game was take video lessons.
I only had 4 sessions, but it helped shave about 10-12 strokes off my average round. Having the immediate video feedback on each swing is huge (and having a good instructor helps)

Yeah, I've been thinking about that
The local range has a four-lesson package for something like $200. I might go for it. The instructor probably isn’t that great, but he’s better than I am, and that’s something.

Figured as much.
It’s probably easier for you to wear your funny plaid pants than for me to wear mine. I already get strange looks at the boy’s school as it is. If I showed up for anything other than a costume party in my old plaids, I’m pretty sure the administration would schedule a sitdown PDQ.
"I'm not black like Barry White, no I am white like Frank Black is"
Actually...softball helps me.
My big problem is shifting my weight from front to back to front again. So what was I told to do? Take a warm up swing almost like a basebal swing…(with clubhead two feet off the ground) front foot up, back down, and back foot up on the follow through. Works for me when I modify it and keep feet on ground for real swing at ball…and remember to do it.
I hook everything because I swing to fast and I dont get the clubhead in the right position

Think about pausing at the top.
If you don’t get it set properly there, it’s almost impossible to deliver it back correctly.

Now that's what she said.

Apogee? Perigee? What the fuck am I talking about? Someone help me.
Also, disclaimer, I haven’t broken 90 in several years due to lack of time to play consistently and just not being that good.

Once you are set in position over the ball, you should never look back down at it
it ruins your ability to gauge distance.

"I have never been noticeably reticent about talking on subjects about which I know nothing." Prince Phillip
I can answer that
1) you stay more limber and ‘warm’ because you have to walk and carry things between shots.
2) as you walk, you are evaluating your shot better and are taking more time planning the outcome.
2b) this planning and visualization is beneficial to prepping your mind/body for the shot
3) fewer distractions (people, conversation, cart, and sounds [bouncing clubs, phones, etc])

You obviously don't live near the GOM
My father is an avid golfer…when summer is in full swing the man heads to the course with at least two shirts in his bad to change into during the round (He only walks the course…USGA Walking Member)
When I am addressing teh ball and get distracted my the sweat running down my nose or down my arms on to my hands, I’m done. I’ll play twilight golf if the temp is cooler, but fugedaboutit in August and July
My problem is that I just lose all desire to do anything else
the instant I step onto the practice tee. I could literally hit balls all day. Because I love my wife and children, I don’t, but it gets pretty gorram hard every March/April when the snow finally melts.
"I have never been noticeably reticent about talking on subjects about which I know nothing." Prince Phillip
I leave all my weight on the back leg...
and try to use my wrists to keep the clubhead straight. You know it’s bad when after teh swing you can pick your front foot off the ground but haven’t a prayer of lifting the back one.
sorry
You have almost no chance of having a consistent swing if you keep your body behind the ball like that. You are counting on your wrists being able to deliver the clubhead, which is the opposite of good. The purpose of the body turn and weight transfer is to allow the hands to remain quiet and the arm motion to deliver the clubhead.
big muscles = good
small muscles = bad
And keeping your body behind the ball means you are striking the ball with the (small) bottom of the clubface, which gives you no margin for error. The club needs to be moving down at impact (with the full surface area of the clubface pointed at the ball). That allows the natural forgiveness of the club to have full effect.

In long subthreads we don’t all always read every post before commenting.
My biggest problem for me is getting the muscle memory down and then just repeating the same swing time and again. I don’t play that often so it is no surprise that the issue remains ever-prevelant in my game.
shorten your backswing
that goes for everyone. The higher you take the club, the more out of position the clubhead gets. The longer the swing, the more room for error. Try taking your arms back only as far as parallel to the the ground on the backswing, then swinging through. You will square the ball and only lose a little distance. You can take it further back, but most casual players lose accuracy if the hands get above the shoulders.

Me, showing off my atrophied drumming skills FROM MY OWN BEDROOM! Srsly, I wanted to get these cadences recorded before I forgot them — which seems as though it’ll never actually happen, as I always remember how to play them when I try, no matter how long it’s been.
I didn’t give myself much warmup, so it’s a bit ragged; but then, I’m not trying out for anything.

Sweet, man - I'm envious.
I wanted to take up drums in 5th grade, but I was the only one of about seven who also listed another instrument, so my harridan of a band director declared that I was going to be a trombonist. By the time I developed a spine it was too late to switch.
I’m assuming you’ve seen the Top Secret drum corps from Switzerland before, but just in case you haven’t, here’s just a little snare/flag/bass insanity for you.
"I have never been noticeably reticent about talking on subjects about which I know nothing." Prince Phillip
Actually, I can't stand corp style playing
My idea of marching percussion is a walking drum set, which is about as far from the super-technical style of the corps as one can get. If I’d ever become a HS band director I’d have probably driven off all my drummers the first year.

Yes, but not for the sport most people associate with "college athletics"
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so. now on Twitter
I wanted to go to Iowa but parents were like lolnofuckyou.
I didn’t get enough money to afford to go to Penn or Vandy, so I took my full ride to Auburn (which was my dad’s alma mater). It’s closer to where I live than U[sic]GA anyway. As for grad school, again, I took the place where I got the most money. You’d be crazy to think I chose post-Lefevour Central for athletics.

Not fully, but I won't lie and say it wasn't a factor.
George Washington and ND were pretty equal in my mind, at least in terms of each having an equal number of good points and bad points. ND athletics was as much of a positive factor as having to go crosstown to Georgetown for ROTC was a negative factor, and those two probably pushed ND over the top.

Well, knowing my specific field (or sort of, anyways) going in, ND was not the place to go for that.
But funnily enough, that’s part of what convinced me to go there. When I visited as a HS senior, I sat in on a Japanese modern hist. class, and talked to the professor afterwards. When I told her that I wanted to study Japanese history, she told me to go to any of my other choices, that ND was not the place to go to study that. She was right, as ND is very Euro-centric and they didn’t even have an EALL department until my junior year, Japanese and Chinese were somehow lumped in with romance languages. Anyways, that honesty made a big impression on me, and I figured if people I’d be taking classes with were going to tell me like it was, I could live with that. Took her class my senior year, and she wrote a recommendation for me to get into grad school, 15 years later.
The ROTC thing was a big deal…I had a bit of an issue with GTown’s ROTC unit that turned me off there. Had that gone better, I might have gone to GTown or GW.

Shogun is fantastic
I read it at least once a year.
"Every time you go to that cook-off you get drunk as a poet on payday!"
A true testament to how fantastic it is:
The Japanese language in it is horribly painful, and the concepts of “samurai” and “bushido” and attitudes are so horribly mangled that I hold Clavell personally responsible for 75% of the misconceptions floating around in the Western world about Japan and Japanese history.
I still read it about once every 18 months.

Several times, yes. Great book. Endo's a great author, have read other of his stuff.
I would also highly highly recommend “The Signore”, by Kunio Tsuji. It’s a fictional account of Oda Nobunaga’s life, as told from the viewpoint of a Portuguese trader. Fascinating.

It 'sort of' played a role.
ND’s primary competition in my college search were really tiny liberal arts schools, and size of the community/completeness of the college experience (including major Div 1 football) was a factor in my decision. It wasn’t the deciding factor, though. ND just fit all my criteria too perfectly to pass up.

At my last interview the agent asked what I thought of illegal drugs. I told him I thought they should be legal for adult use, within the same bounds as alcohol. This stunned him, and he asked me I’d want to see my underage kids using illegal drugs. I told him no, not any more than I’d want to see them drinking alcohol underage, but adults shouldn’t be constrained as a child would be.
This led to an interesting 15 minute discussion. I’m still here.

Off-topic follow-up to a comment from a couple weeks ago
LA people: I highly recommend Little Bear in the Arts District. Beer selection is great, both tap and bottle, with a fantastic variety of Belgian and Belgian-inspired stuff running the full gamut of styles. (If you’re into sours, they have a very large bottled sour selection.)
What food my girlfriend and I had was also very good. I had the grilled cheese with brisket on it; she had another grilled cheese that i forget about, and we split the mussel starter.
My only complaint would be that they need to iron out some kinks in the service (we ordered the mussels to start, but the server forgot to put them in, so we didn’t get them until after the sandwiches). I’m sure that will be fixed once they’re open a while, though.

Without the Rule Against Perpetuities, the movie "Body Heat" makes no sense.
Well, it didn’t make much sense, anyway. But it had Kathleen Turner nekkid.
In 1981.
That’s an important qualifier. While I understand Ms. Turner is doing fine work on Broadway these days, you probably wouldn’t want a reprise.

Some days, it seems like there isn't enough coffee.
Some nights, it seems like there isn't enough vodka.
Ehh, it's company security, not real law enforcement.
Probably just some run-of-the-mill industrial espionage or sabotage.

Yes, those spiders are quite venomous.

I wasn't trying to start a discussion of the subject.
It’s ultra-spidery and not even something I’m particularly interested in. I just got assigned the book for a class.
