DBD 11.17.09 Twlight Makes Me Question The Existence Of God
by TwistNHook on Nov 17, 2009 7:49 AM PST
Email
PrintI was always a faithful little soldier when it came to the existence of god. God created Earth 6,000 years ago. Put dinosaur bones there to confuse the hell out of those heathen scientists. THen, She'd have Her son show up in tacos and wet cement from time to time. I believed all the standard stuff, really.
But now, man, I just don't know. My faith is God is starting to suffer. First, Dumpster Muffin leaves those trees (NOOOOO!) and now Twilight. The most unholy of unholies. An intellectual property so dastardly that it seeks to divide husband and wife, man and child. I don't know why a true God would want such a thing to exist on Her Earth.
And this isn't even really about Christian God. Judaism. Islam. Hinduism. Scientology. Even Bahais! How could Twilight get past ANY of those Gods! How?!?!? I thought Allah would be pretty good at that. And Hindus got a whole host of Gods to protect against this sort of thing. And some of those Gods even have extra arms to help try to stop Twilight. AND IT STILL GOT THROUGH! HOW WAS THIS?!?!?!? It must be some sort of evil anti-christ!
I don't believe in anything anymore. I'm going to law school!
Mens BBall heads to MSG to take on Syracuse:
California Golden Bears (2-0) vs. Syracuse Orange (2-0)
Thursday, Nov. 19, 4:00 p.m. (PT), Madison Square Garden, New York, N.Y.
Radio: KFRC 1550 AM TV: ESPN2
No. 13 California heads to New York this week for the championship rounds of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. This marks the first time the Golden Bears will be playing in Madison Square Garden since they won the NIT Championship in 1999. Cal will face No. 25 Syracuse on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 4 p.m. (PT). The winner will play the winner of No. 6 North Carolina vs. No. 16 Ohio State on Friday, Nov. 20.
The Bears, who were picked to win the Pac-10 in the conference media poll that came out on Oct. 29, got their season off on the right foot with two victories last week in the regional round of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Seniors Jerome Randle and Theo Robertson each posted game highs of 22 points, while fellow senior Patrick Christopher chipped in 18. Randle moved up to 17th on the school's all-time scoring list, just 12 points shy of Ryan Anderson for 16th. Christopher is tied for 19th with 1,185 points. Twelve of Randle's 22 points came from the free throw line. He ended the night a perfect 12-for-12 from the charity stripe. Currently the best free-throw shooter in school history with a career percentage of 86.2, Randle has made his first 22 out of 23 free throws this season. Thursday's game will be the 100th career collegiate game for Randle.

Womens BBall takes on St Marys tonight AT HAAS! Tickets prolly still available!
The No. 13/18 California Golden Bears (1-0) close out their opening home stand with a pair of games this week. First up, Cal will host Bay Area neighbor Saint Mary’s (1-0) for a Tuesday, Nov. 17 game tipping at 7:00 p.m. On Sunday, Nov. 22, Cal will play the first of their televised games of the season, hosting fellow top-25 power Baylor (0-1) at 2:00 p.m. in Haas Pavilion.
Cal got off to a hot start to the 2009-10 season. After scoring an unofficial 101 points in their exhibition game against Vanguard, the Bears made the triple-digit score official in their 100-43 rout of Idaho State in the season opener. It was the first time since Jan. 6, 1996 that Cal had scored 100 or more points and was only the 15th time that had happened in the history of the program. The even 100 points also set a Haas Pavilion record for the most points scored by a team playing in the building, erasing the previous record of 99 points Cal scored against Washington State during the 2007-08 season.
The Bears showed depth and balance in the game with every available player scoring in the game. The freshmen class looked like seasoned veterans on the floor. Forward DeNesha Stallworth scored 17 points in her official debut, going 6-for-8 from the field, including hitting a three-pointer. Stallworth also logged eight rebounds, had three assists, and a pair of steals. Forward Talia Caldwell logged a game-high nine rebounds. Guard Eliza Pierre scored 11 points with nine of those coming from the freethrow line. Pierre also had four steals, two assists, and a block. Guard Layshia Clarendon ended up being the workhorse in the game, leading the squad with 26 minutes on the court. Every player saw at least 15 minutes on the court.

XC Trio receives honors:
BERKELEY – Juniors Steve Sodaro and Kari Karlsson, as well as sophomore Deborah Maier, have been named to the All-West Region team based on their finishes at last Saturday NCAA regional race in Springfield, Ore.
Sodaro completed the men’s 10,000-meter circuit in 31:10.42 to claim 16th place, with Karlsson taking 21st in 31:14.40. Maier was 14th in the women’s race, finishing her 6,000-meter race in 21:20.43. Each of the top 25 men’s and women’s finishers earned all-region status.
Sodaro paced the Golden Bears in four meets during the fall, which included an 18th-place finish at the Pac-10 championships Oct. 30. His highest result came at a meet at Sacramento State early in the year where he crossed the line third overall.
Karlsson was Cal’s No. 1 runner at the Pre-NCAA Invitational, taking 51st in a strong field full of nationally ranked teams. He was also 27th overall at Pac-10’s.
Maier finished as the Bears’ top runner in all four meets she competed in this season, which included a sixth-place finish at the Pac-10 championships and a fourth-place finish at the Stanford Invitational.

Water polo to host Gatekeeper Academy. No word yet on any sort of Keymaster Academy:
The University of California men’s water polo staff will be hosting the 2009 Boy’s High Performance Water Polo Camp and Sean Nolan Goalkeeper Academy, December 19-21 at Spieker Aquatics Complex. The camp/academy will teach water polo skills and tactics to boys age 12-18 in a team and camp environment with an optimal amount of pool time.
The camp is directed by one of the most respected and successful water polo coaches in the nation, Kirk Everist, a two-time Olympian who led Cal to NCAA titles in 2006 and 2007, along with Cal associate head coach Boyd Lachance, and 2000 Olympian and Golden Bear goalkeeper coach Sean Nolan.
The camp has limited space to ensure individual attention and allows Everist and his staff to utilize the philosophy of education and coaching, which is essential to a high performance athlete. Participants should have at least one year of club or high school water polo experience. For more information on how to sign up for the 2009 Boy’s High Performance Water Polo Camp and Sean Nolan Goalkeeper Academy check the camp website at 2009 Boy’s High Performance Water Polo Camp.

Womens Lacrosse gets hella new recruits:
BERKELEY – The California lacrosse program signed eight recruits to National Letters of Intent, Golden Bears head coach Theresa Sherry announced on Monday. The incoming class features three players from the San Francisco Bay Area – Lauren Goerz (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista High School), Teresa Li (Pleasanton, Calif./ Amador Valley High School) and Hayley Olson (Livermore, Calif./Granada High School) – two from Colorado – Shelby Barrett (Centennial, Colo./Cherry Creek High School) and Megan McGinnis (Morrison, Colo./Colorado Academy) and three – Paige Gasparino (Darien, Conn./Darien High School), Grace Parente (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr School) and Jackie Pelletier (Andover, Mass./Andover High School) – from the East Coast.
The class includes multiple midfielders (3), defenders (2) and attackers (2) as well as one goalkeeper.
“We are extremely excited to welcome these eight student-athletes into the Cal lacrosse family,” Sherry said. “This class is made up of fast, athletic and mentally tough lacrosse players who we feel will help our program continue to achieve greater things in the MPSF and the NCAAs. We are happy to continue pulling players from all over the country to play for our team, the different personalities and backgrounds adding a significant flavor to the Cal campus both on and off the field.”
Goerz, a high school All-American midfielder who led Monte Vista to the North Coast Section title as a junior, was named the 2009 Contra Costa Times Player of the Year and East Bay Athletic League (EBAL) MVP. She tallied four goals and an assist in the 2009 NCS final.
Li, Olson and Goerz were named to the 2009 all-EBAL first team. A midfielder, Li was selected an honorable mention All-American and, along with current Cal freshman Ana Cyr, was named a US Lacrosse academic All-American in 2009. Li played at Amador Valley with current Cal sophomore Melissa Sheehan. Olson, an attacker, and Cyr were teammates at Granada High School.

Interesting read, but I don’t think most people who are applying to law school (who are predominantly humanities majors) are making the salaries he thinks they are.
dboneisloose
Yeah, there is no way an “also ran” is making $40,000 anywhere right now. The problem that using misleading numbers ignores is that there are many humanities majors who are easily qualified for top law schools but not going to even get one of his “also ran” jobs. (Especially in the current economy.)
I would have been in the “four year out” group when I left my job to go to law school, and certainly would be a “solid performer” category, and was making about 25% less than he says I should have been making – and of my friends who went to law schools, I was doing far better than most. That isn’t a trivial overestimate of what people are making.
Law school has a huge opportunity cost and that is easy to show – law school is going to cost right around $350,000. No need to exaggerate that. (But keep in mind, that opportunity cost is “paid off” over the course of your life – you don’t have to make a whole lot more per year to justify it. And some people just want to be lawyers.)
by Tedfordisgod on Nov 17, 2009 6:05 PM PST up reply actions
I agree
Not to toot my own horn here, but I’m pretty highly ranked in my class, and I was making like $38,000 a year before I started law school. I mean, I suppose I could have just continued down the paralegal track, and maybe I’d eventually have pulled down a decent salary, but… what’s the point? I’d just be doing similar-but-slightly-less-interesting work and getting paid less while working similarly awful hours.
Besides, that was in a better economy. In all probability I’d have been (justifiably) laid off by now for lack of sufficient work.

Looks like rain is coming in on Friday.
The parking lots by the eucaplytus trees are all dirt, so be prepared for mud. In the past, we’ve brought out a tarp to place the tables/chairs on and provide a less-swamp-like mingling area.
If you don’t have a good sense of direction, be sure to note landmarks and figure out how to get back to your car, or it could be a long time getting home.
We usually try to park across the street in the 2ndary lots by the T & C center or the Jr. High School. At least it’s paved, and there are some overhangs to protect vs. sun, wind, rain. It’s also easier to find your cars again. We’ll park and do the caravan of ants deal to carry our tables/chairs to a party site somewhere inside the school grounds. Only downside is a longer walk to the stadium.

If we stretch “deal” out to two syllables, it’s perfect for a:
“What’s your de-al
clap clap clapclapclap”
Chant.
7
I feel like mocking the other team really needs four syllables and the clapping. Three syllable chants are for cheering a team on.
When ’Furd came to Cal in 2006, we had to chant “One-And-Ten” with four syllables for that specific reason.
7
Four syllables are overrated. I really liked the “Let’s Go A’s” chant that overrode the “Let’s Go Mets” when the A’s played the Mets a couple of years ago.
There’s a time and place for four syllables (or more?). In the case of “What’s your deal?” I think three syllables is the way to go.

"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
There's so much gold material here, I don't know where to start!
Fresh of its beatdown of USC, Stanford is four reasonable steps from the Pac-10 title and tailback Toby Gerhart is making a late-season charge for the Heisman.
Four reasonable steps? Oregon loses, Arizona loses, Arizona loses again, Oregon State loses. Yes, okay.
Only once in the past decade has the favorite lost – and that favorite, Cal in ’07, entered Big Game with a hobbled quarterback (Nate Longshore) and five losses in its previous six games.
That’s because, for the most part, the talent/coaching/team gap has been so huge.
"We’re a blue-collar team,’’ Harbaugh said Monday at joint press conference in San Francisco with Tedford. "Maybe for a day, yesterday, we were white collar. But we have to get back our identity starting today.
I’m sorry, if anything, Stanford is the EXACT OPPOSITE of “blue collar”, unless you’re referring to the popped polos the Furd fans wear.
Harbaugh used the word "hubris" at least a half-dozen times during the press conference, at one point noting the word’s Greek origins.
I don’t even know where to go with this one! Why would anyone write that sentence?
The eight-man heart of Stanford’s rushing attack – the five linemen, the tight end, fullback Owen Marecic and Gerhart — all weigh as much, or more, than each of Cal’s four linebackers.
WAIT A LINEMAN WEIGHS MORE THAN A LINEBACKER?!
If Cal can’t stop Stanford from scoring, its only chance is to match the Cardinal touchdown for touchdown.
Thank you, John Madden.
Stanford wins, and it won’t be close.
Please, tempt fate some more.

If Cal can’t stop Stanford from scoring, its only chance is to match the Cardinal touchdown for touchdown.
Our offensive gameplan? Score more than Stanford. Our defensive game plan? Make Stanford score less than us.

why do some posters spell Cal with a K?
where does this “weenie” reference come from?
why do some posters spell Stanford with with a u?
jh
1. Because they are dorks who listen to Winger and recreate Bacchus dream sequences while playing the pan flute.
2. No idea. Does anything Furdians think of make sense? I don’t think so either.
3. Because that is the correct spelling. “Stanfurd” or “Furd” for short.

this is probably something that will be corrected by a former tourguide, but I had heard that copy write laws in the 60’s-70’s (say brand protection) had pushed the opposing fans from using “Stanford”© and “Cal”© to using “Stanfurd” and “Kal”.
I have no idea where “weenie” came from and I bet the stanfurdites don’t either. They are simply all taught it when they are freshmen and never consider it again.

A long time ago, I was told that “weenie” comes from their referring to Cal as a “weenie school.”
Yeah, I thought it was pretty stupid, too. To be fair, this is hearsay: I was told this by a Cal student claiming to have learned this from a friend who was a student at Stanf[u]rd.

I woke up today thinking that it was going to be an awesome day…and since then I’ve been looking over my shoulder waiting for something horrible to happen.
dboneisloose
Since it's a slow DBD
I may as well tell the Friday night story to follow up on earlier discussion. Please note that there is approximately a 100% chance this will backfire on me, but whatever.
Friday night, was at the bar with a couple friends, waiting for more to show up (was around 11, so a little early). I was talking to two friends, let’s call them Rahul and Dev, irrespective of whether or not they were Indian. Rahul suggests, while I’m waiting at the bar for my beer, to pull a “Have you met Ted” with Dev and the girl at the bar.
Girl at the bar (let’s call her Sapna and continue this faux Bollywood story) was decently cute, with a good body, but most definitely not my type, so I said the only logical thing — “Challenge accepted!”
As soon as I looked up at the girl and said “Hi, have you met Dev?”, Dev, shy as he is, scampered away like Bambi from Dick Cheney. Not wanting to be a jerk, I talked to her. I decided to go with the “be nice” approach. We talked for a while and, contrary to wildly successful DC Trojan’s advice, did not offer to buy her a drink. Instead, just talked, made eye contact, and was nice — sadly, this approach worked, as she was interested in me, but I had no interest in her, so as soon as more friends arrived, I pawned her off to Dev, then left.
Later, Rahul (ps, if you’re reading this blog, sorry, couldn’t help but tell this story) was at the bar when Sapna was there. He offers to buy Sapna a drink, which she accepts, then she walks away a minute later.
Moral of the story — you don’t need to buy a girl a drink to have her talk to you.
Now, pleasee commence the abusive commenting. Prizes to the first people to comment with “cool story, Hansel”, “so you didn’t get laid? loser.”, or “twitter that way —→”

To be fair, the “have you met Ted” line actually works in reality, assuming your friend isn’t a pussy shy
7
I think that like any other line, how well it works depends on the people in question. Seriously, I think the whole concept of lines is wildly overstated. If you’re Brad Pitt, “YOU’RE PRIOR TO THE SNAP!” is probably a great line. If you’re Jim Harbaugh, you can have the greatest line in the world and it won’t work very well.

I had one of those, it was very good – quite bitter, just like me.

The bartender describes this as their “fall” menu, with winter drinks around the corner. I may sample a little less aggressively next time though… I was washing down the sazerac and glass of red wine that I had with dinner at the Bon Ton Cafe last night, which is what took the morning from headache-y to ass-dragging.

When Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll met at midfield after Stanford completed its 55-21 defenestration of USC here Saturday, their conversation was brief, pointed and seemingly unsatisfying.
“What’s your deal? What’s your deal?” Carroll said, according to two sources near enough to hear.
“What’s your deal?” Harbaugh retorted, and that was that.
Now there’s the brevity of wit for you. It is also evidence of what will be a lingering dislike-a-thon between the two men, punctuated by Harbaugh’s impish yet gratuitous two-point conversion attempt after Stanford’s seventh – yes, seventh – touchdown. It looked like what it was, Harbaugh putting a knee in Carroll’s exposed coaching nethers.

Twist, you should know! Anyways, to be the solo trumpet in the National Anthem is a big thing, which of course the Banned honors in their own way. The morning rehearsal before the game, the band will do anything they can think of to make him crack. His job, of course is to stick it out. And this is the stanfurd banned so this includes shaving cream/eggs on the head, being pants’ed, stripping in front of him.

I think we need at least one (and probably two) to be able to play significant minutes/start as true freshmen next year. I ultimately think that’s the most important thing with this class (although I can’t speak for the play of any blueshirters or guys who haven’t seen the field much like Chris Little). We just need a consistent, fast hybrid type. The selling point right now is that we’re running a 3-4 scheme prevalent in the NFL — and the Buck LB is highly glamorized and well paid.

I was listening to Forum on NPR this morning, I believe I can sum up:
1)The choice is between Criminal & Military court; either it was a crime (terrorism) or an act of war.
2)if fair trail can be had in New York, since everyone was affected by it and already has opinions.

Here’s a fun one from Tedford:
They’re probably the hottest team in the country right now. They’re playing very physical, they believe in themselves, they execute at every level. It’s unbelievably impressive what they’ve done. They play so physical. Their offensive line is the best offensive line in the conference. We’re going to have a great week of preparation to be successful.

Our offensive line coach has a pretty good saying:It’s not about the x’s and o’s, it’s about the Jimmys and the Joes. We have to come out there on fire. It’s a huge game. Their crowd is going to be amped. We have to be firing on all cylinders.
On Cal’s loss to Stanford in 2007
It’s probably one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had at Cal. My combined 0-6 record I have against USC, the loss to Stanford was worse than all six of those losses combined. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. The community hurt more. It’s not just the team or the campus. It’s the community. That definitely fuels you.

Is there a fandom story involved? I always feel a little sorry for Clippers fans, along with fans of the PIttsburgh Pirates, Oakland Raiders, and anyone who lived in Buffalo in the early 90’s. It’s pretty much the opposite of my reaction to Yankees bandwagoneers or people who wear Lakers jerseys coordinated with Lakers shorts and Kobe Bryant shoes.
I just liked the Clippers when I was young, but when the Lakers won their first title with Shaq, my hate for the Lakers/love for the Clips increased tenfold.

(this will mean he’ll take ~20 closely contested threes over the next 5 minutes)

Maybe he has the balls to tell Baron Davis to stop shooting threes

You can’t be against the beard! He makes funny internet videos with Steve Nash! He’s friends with Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba! He’s a rightous dude!
That’s all well and good, but why does he need to shoot threes?

Who doesn’t like shooting 3s?

That's all I do.
I think in the last 10 weeks of pick-up basketball I’ve shot about 200 3s and about 10 2s.
Do people tell Avinash enough?

Unbelieveable
I am getting Stanfurd trash talk in my Facebook status and inbox. From Stanford grads – who I don’t believe have seen a football game since they graduated. In my cousins’ case he graduated in 1986!!!!
To be fair, I saw on facebook Cal students trash talking USC fans for losing that badly to Stanford, the week before we’re set to play the Furd.
Stupidity is everywhere!

and we’ve been calling Cal fans fairweather…
