DBD 3.20.09 - TWIST'S PLAYGROUND

PrintThe internet is Twist's playground. The world is Twist's playground.
If you're so unlucky as to be friends with TwistNHook on facebook, you'll find your news feed jammed full of him uploading pictures, and putting inane stupid comments up on all of his friends' walls and pictures. At one time, I think 50% of my newsfeed was due to Twist.
It got so bad that I even used that facebook feature which allows you to ignore updates from certain friends.
Since Twist violates our facebook feeds with his endless inanity, we get annoyed. Every once in a while, the rest of us Marshawnthusiasts, and the Jahvidtician, take it to Twist in a bit of retaliation.
To wit, here is an excerpt of our top secret behind-the-scenes email communications today regarding the NCAA bracket that the SBN blogs are competing in:
Twist: BTW, in our SBN league we're in like 4th place. I clicked "Popular Picks" which is doing well so far. Had Maryland over Cal, tho. :(!
Hydro: choke on a pretzel and die, Twist
CBKWit: ditto Hydro.
Twist: Look, none of you else wanted to setup the league. I had to put my ass on the line and when you are out there in the middle of the fog of war, sometimes you have to make split second decisions. Do you fault Riley for running at the end of OSU 07? Or do you credit him for trying to get something done, even if the decision was poor? Look, its the same thing, people! Its the EXACT same thing! Its is in NO way a different thing. At all.
Hydro: Twist, i blame you for famine in 3rd world countries.
Twist: Does this mean I'm going to get punched in the face for every starving person in the world?
Avinash: There was an SBN League? Why didn't you tell us about it?
Twist: I sent like 2-3 emails out about it.
Hydro: you didn't send out any emails. Stop lying.
Twist: MY ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE!
Hydro: Even if you didn't pick the popular picks, you know you would have picked Maryland anyways, you bastard. Anyways, we all know you're not smart enough to pass the Bar. So what'd you do to pass, Twist? Give them one of your world famous french kisses?
Twist: They're world famous now?
Hydro: Yes, Maharg told the world.CBKWit: wait a minute...in the sbn league, you picked against us? what is the matter with you?
Twist: I feel like we just went back 20 minutes in time.
Hydro: Twist, i blame you for famine in 3rd world countries.
Twist: THE MATRIX IS BROKEN!
CBKWit: I thought it was just your personal bracket. I can't believe that you picked against us in the SBN league, where we are representing Cal.
Avinash: Why'd you pick Maryland? Just to spite us? This is conduct unbefitting of a Marshawnthusiast. We might need to set up hearings.
Twist: I DIDNT PICK MARYLAND! PEOPLE PICKED MARYLAND! ITS PEOPLE!
Hydro: you are the people, Twist, so you picked maryland.
Avinash: Oh so its America's fault? Why do you hate America?
Twist: I MIGHT HAVE LET THE TERRORISTS WIN!!?!
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

The Big 10 screwed me
I’m surprised Purdue won.
Michigan and Illinois…Ai! I didn’t have either making the sweet 16…but it would be nice if Clemson showed up! I should have known better.
However, SI On Campus gave them an A for eye candy.
And the next 3 are NSFW (the last one especially!):
ClemsonNSFW1
ClemsonNSFW2
ClemsonNSFW3(YIKES!)
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
The Big 10 was what I thought it was!
I like Michigan for some reason, have them beating Zero U in the next round. Also , Illinois was drastically over seeded so WKU beating them was no surprise.
I started 1-3 yesterday (damn yuo Butler, BYU and Cal!) but won my last 12 picks. Good mo for day 2.

I hit on TAMU and Texas, all though Tubby Smith’s Gophers were making me nervous for a minute there. I, uhh, took Maryland and now I have a guaranteed one way ticket to hell Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
I really didn't see many upsets in this tourney
The only lower seeded teams I have today are Arizona, USC, Siena and Utah St. All my other picks are the “favorites”.
I thought this year was really top heavy with the best 15-20 teams being a lot better than everyone else so I stuck to form in most cases.

Zona? Really?
I took OSU over Siena since it’s a home game for OSU.
I like USC
I thought long and hard about Utah St, before going with Marquette.
I should have gone with my gut and taken WKU!
We shall see!
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
Yeah, I was torn about Arizona but Utah is laughable as a 5 and I have a gut feeling Zona is good for 1 win here.
Ohio St is a joke and Siena is better than a 9 seed.
Marquette is missing their point guard and I think that will really hurt them. I am having some second thought on USU though but the die is cast so no sense in worrying about it now

I'm really wondering where this "Utah is laughable" meme came from
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that that statement basically stamps anyone who says it as someone who has never actually seen the team play this season.
Many years from now, when his name's recalled
Everyone will say, "He should have passed the ball"
-- Al Stewart, "Football Hero"
I said "Utah is laughable as a 5"
Are they a good team? Yes. A 5 seed? Hell and no.

STOP BLOCKING OUR UNIVERSITY!
A federal judge has at least temporarily blocked the University of California’s plans for a $113 million computer research center in the hills above the Berkeley campus, a victory for a local group that says the project would damage the environment.
Michael Lozeau, lawyer for Save Strawberry Canyon, said the group doesn’t object to the nature of the project, only to its location.
“These are mostly folks from Berkeley worrying about ever-expanding development on the hillside,” he said. “(UC is) continually proposing, and in some cases building, very large buildings in an area that is prone to fires, prone to earthquakes, very steep, with only two access roads and with important open-space habitat.”

We reviewed this a while back.
First, there are no trees on the site.
…secondly, it’s already surrounded by buildings AND they have no legal underpinnings for their argument… (such as the stadium being on a fault line and therefore subject to AP).
The only thing they’re really going on is that the hill and canyon will be less beautiful and therefore the property values on the hill will go down.
OMG!!! I CAN NO LONGER LOOK AT THE HILL, IT’S SO UGLY!!
This is a losing battle for them. All they want to do is make building on the hill difficult and expensive.
HAIL HYDROTECH!
I interned at an affordable housing architecture firm in Berkeley during my undergrad, and they marketed themselves as specializing in dealing with Berkeley. The residents within Berkeley are incredibly tough to deal with regarding new construction. Not to mention they are completely unethical, and will make outrageous claims based on nothing just to stall the project. If someone is losing a case they move to make whatever is being renovated or built a historical landmark, which is why Berkeley is the only city I know of with historical parking lots. These shenanigans are standard operating procedure. Also, dealing with the city of Berkeley isn’t too fun either.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
which is why Berkeley is the only city I know of with historical parking lots.
….wow…. just, wow.
Of course this current case is exactly like this… they’re not even claiming that the building is illegal in any way. They are just claiming that the EIR was improperly filled out…. all they want to do is delay, delay, delay.
In fact, I really do want some hill-sitters. With this case they would lose any sliver of credibility they have left… plus it would taint the Save Strawberry Canyon group… the hill-sitters would increase our advantage… not theirs.

Women’s Swimming in 3rd place at NCAAs.
COLLEGE STATION, TX – The California women’s swimming team had a very productive first day of competition, including a school record in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2009 NCAA Swimming Championships at the Student Rec Center Natatorium. Cal garnered 126 points – good enough to stand in third place after six events. Arizona leads the overall competition with 141.5 points, followed by Georgia with 133. Stanford is in fourth place with 105 points.
“We’re really pleased with our efforts tonight,” said head coach Teri McKeever. “We had three swimmers in the top-8 of the 50 free – the first time that has ever happened. You can’t say enough about the performances of the team tonight. Everyone is in good spirits and we want to be ready for another good day of competition tomorrow.”
California’s foursome of Liv Jensen, Hannah Wilson, Madison Kennedy and Dana Vollmer lowered their school record in the Championship final of the 200-yard freestyle relay with a second-place finish time of 1:26.48. The same foursome swam a then school-record 1:27.05 in the morning preliminaries.

Womens Tennis defeats Denver:
The No. 5-ranked California women’s tennis team (11-2, 2-0 Pac-10) posted a 5-2 win over No. 42 Denver (8-4) today at the Hellman Tennis Complex. The Golden Bears clinched their 11th win of the season when No. 17-ranked freshman Jana Juricova won her 27th singles match of the year with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over No. 67-ranked Mallory Voelker at the top singles court. The win also snapped Denver’s seven-match winning streak under the guidance of third-year head coach and Cal alum, Amy Jensen.
Cal’s top doubles court featured the return of a familiar fall-tournament duo as Juricova teamed up with senior Bojana Bobusic to kick off the day with an 8-2 win over Voelker and Julia Bauregger. At court two, sophomore Marina Cossou returned to action after a long layoff due to injury to join senior Claire Ilcinkas (ranked No. 9 together) in an 8-2 win against Kyla Iwinski and Ute Schnoy. The win at court two secured the doubles point for the Bears for the ninth time this season.
The Pioneers tied the match by claiming the first singles point at No. 6 singles when Bhavani Tirumurti took a 6-0, 6-0 win against freshman Catalina Visico but the Bears answered back to take a 2-1 lead as No. 38-ranked Ilcinkas dropped Annette Aksdal, 6-0, 6-1, at No. 2 singles. No. 22-ranked Bobusic got her 26th singles win of the year when she defeated Schnoy at No. 3 singles to give the Bears a commanding 3-1 advantage.

Has anyone been to Cattleman’s on the way to Tahoe? Is it any good?
They're after our precious bodily fluids
I’d go with…
it’s okay. I think they brought back the bean girl. You should definitely try it if you’ve never done it. On Weekend nights it can get crowded, so you might need a reservation.
For a real steakhouse treat, take 20 min out of your trip and go up to the Buckhorn in Winters. A smidge pricier, iirc, although either steakhouse isn’t in the “best bargain evair” category.
I have several less fancy yet delicious to-go and sit-down styled restaurants along the 80 corridor. Are you N or S Lake bound?
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
North shore, but there is a major kink in the planning, the other couple I’m going with with is making ‘an appearance’ at a party on the way back in Lincoln. So while they go party, my girlfriend and I were going to catch dinner and a movie. She loves steakhouses, and has been harping on me since our first date to go to cattleman’s.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
o…at first I thought you were referring to the Cattlemen’s in Dixon. I haven’t tried that one up the road in Roseville or Rocklin and I’m not sure if it’s the same as the others. Lincoln is, I think, a bit off the trail so if this makes the most sense regarding the logistics, then go for it. There’s a saying…A happy wife = a happy life and while the two of you lovebirds may not be married, it’s still highly applicable. My brother orders the porterhouse, but I’m more of NY steak kind of guy. The king crab and salmon w/ teriyaki glaze are also tasty.
If you are in or around the Truckee area, I recommend the restaurant “50/50” for a nice lunch or dinner. There’s a Mexican restaurant in old Truckee whose name slips my mind but that’s also fun. Their top shelf margs are quite potent. I like the chicken bonanza there. Squaw’s got some places to eat, but the weather might not be so hot and it’s kind of a trek. If you go that far, and you have the bank roll to do it, I recommend the River Ranch which sits abreast to the Truckee River. It’s a lot of fun, but pricey for dinner. Come back in the summer and drink Tahoe hef’s on the patio and watch all the drunk college kids fly out of their rafts. Good stuff.

Ever since the new Facebook layout made its debut, my news feed has been Twist-free. It doesn't tell me much of anything anymore.
Can the Bears do much better next year?
This may be, within the standard margin of error, as good as it gets.
The Golden Bears were squeezed out of the NCAA Tournament by Maryland on Thursday at the Sprint Center with what can best be termed clinical precision. The final score of 84-71 and the hidden gems within the box score all showed the difference between where Cal is and where it needs to be viz. the NCAA’s best teams, and the question now becomes whether this group can effect those changes.
“That’s a good question, and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out this summer,” coach Mike Montgomery said after watching the Terrapins slowly but comprehensively take away all the things the Golden Bears did well in their 22 wins and expose the things they didn’t do well in their 11 losses. “There’s some truth (to the notion that Cal’s gifts and restrictions were exposed by continued display). If people let us play, we’re pretty good, but we get hurt by athletic teams and we get hurt by physical teams. We have to get better at what we do well, and a lot better at what we don’t do so well.”Monte Poole says Cal met its expectations in the tournament.
THE MIRRORS became smaller as the season wore on, less effective than when they were vehicles to victory. When the end came, Cal was exposed one last time as the team it was projected to be.
Good, but probably not NCAA Tournament good.
Flawed, but perhaps able to overcome some of those flaws.
Improved, but certainly not dramatically so.
It all caught up with Cal in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday at the Sprint Center. The No. 7 seeded Bears were sent home by a team that was just a little bit more of everything they are not. No. 10 seed Maryland’s 84-71 win showed it was a little more experienced, a little more cohesive, a little more athletic, a little more physical and, thus, appreciably more confident.The Bears are a little disappointed, but hope to learn from the experience.
Instead, Terrapins star guard Greivis Vasquez scooped up a loose-ball rebound under the basket, made a layup, got fouled and completed the 3-point play that pushed the margin back to 10 points.
In the Cal locker room later, after an 84-71 loss in the NCAA West Regional opener, everyone agreed that one play was a symptom and a symbol.
“They worked harder. They wanted the ball,” said guard Jerome Randle, whose foul gave Vasquez the chance to make the 3-point play. "Good teams find a way to get it done; that’s what they did.
“I don’t know why it is, we just have to want it more. I’ve been saying this the whole year.”
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
I have question regarding Facebook…why do girls use it to post drunk pics of them? I don’t get it. It’s not that funny or interesting. It’s one thing to take the pic when you’re 3 sheets to the wind (I love that saying)…it’s another to then, while you’re sober, upload in on Facebook. I don’t get it. Perhaps we have girl CGBers who can help me with this logick?

I brought a friend to the UW game last year in hopes that I could get her more interested in football and thus come to more games. She could give a shit-all else about the game, and was way more interested in taking pictures of herself at the stadium to commemorate her “last game ever as a student omg!!!” to put on fb in order to say “HEY LOOK AT ME I’M A HUGE CAL FAN AND I LURVES FOOTBALL!!!!” She had been to one game previously, and left during the 3rd quarter.

I always looked at facebook/myspace as a tool to advertise how great someone’s life is. The drunken photos show the party girl side to them, how wild and crazy they are, and how much fun they are having. Also, usually they will pretty themselves up if they are going to party, and they want photos where they look good on facebook, again to convince the greater populous, that they are cool, fun, and together.
This doesn’t just apply to girls, I think guys use facebook/myspace to advertise themselves just as much.

The bigger question for me is why does anyone ever post anything remotely embarassing about themselves on the internet? They’ve done surveys of young people and found that those young people never even consider that future employers, the police, or anyone else will find these items. I heard on the news last night that a couple of teenage boys set off fireworks on their teacher’s porch and unintentionally burned her house down. The police caught the boys because one of them described the entire incident on his Facebook page. Even as a teenager, I would never have done anything so stupid. It’s like the internet breeds stupidity.

Your usage of gmail and other goolge products is a real prob though. Facebook is the worst… close your account NOW…. or create a red herring account. Spend $100/year and get your own server/blog/email or set up your own spoofed proxy and set up your own VPN to surf through at work.

Advice for everyone
Trust me guys… one’s porn folder is not the cause for worry. It’s on the list, but not a big deal. My porn folder is pretty bad… but my own paranoia is really based on other factors and based on experience. PS… I’m NOT a hacker… I truly respect people’s privacy. Anyway:
1) If you’re married… sorry, but then you’re ….ahem…not in good shape if you ever get divorced. I hope most of you are not married. Really. OR, have you lived with a woman for over 2 years?
2) Do you know any HR people that work in regulated industries… or the military…?? ask them.
3) Know any hackers… any computer geeks/hackers/grayhats that live in your building or within 50yrds of your apt? Hacking someone in your building or within your POP is so cake. Anyone have access to your mail? Do you trust your super….is he tech savvy? Do you give utility companies your real name or SSN? (banks are somewhat ok).
4) Do you have a wireless network but know little about wireless security?
5) Have you ever been sued? Can you get sued in the future?
6) Does your family have money?
7) I used to work in the online advertising industry… you’re going to have to trust me on this one…. it doesn’t matter who you are… protect your privacy as much as possible. There are no ethics in that industry.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Contractually my firm can take my hard drives anytime it wants without warning or warrants…(and it did once when I broke a tiny, tiny rule)… I need to give them up voluntarily … the SEC has similar access.
Just be careful and run a secure connection through a spoofed proxy that you control and run traffic through an onion network and follow a few privacy rules while online… I vary my passwords all time… but for your most secure applications your password has to be 16 characters… which would take about 2months for someone to crack blunt force.
Yes, I know I myself can do MUCH BETTER… cuz I have tons of leaks and I hate myself for it. If you can’t do what I prescribe… at least try to pollute your data stream like Twist does… look for an ebook called the “Paper Trail” series… it was written in the 70s… but still has relevant info.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with anything you’re saying, but it’s somewhat akin to saying you should never get in a car because you may get in an accident.
I outworthless the Maharg.
Not the analogy I was going for.
But frankly the correct analogy would be having unprotected sex with a new random girl each month for the next four years… sooner or later you’re going to get fucked…. mentally, financially or otherwise.
Beyond this warning… if you choose to ignore me, I don’t care (well I do a bit). I did my part. I got it off my chest. You’re on your own.
HAIL HYDROTECH!
Well, you told me I was doing well! You said I was doing a good job. Many of your concerns dont really relate to me. I dont have a wireless connection. I dont have money. Im not getting divorced. I use different passwords for important things like my bank accounts or credit card accounts than, say, here. Ive never been sued, although in theory, anybody can be sued.
And its wildly unlikely your firm or the SEC will ever give a doodle about my hard drive at work. So, there is that.

Several thoughts.
1. Im never going to work on Wall Street.
2. Im sure like fuck NOT closing my Facebook account now.
3. I use different names in different locations. I’m not necessarily going to list them here for obvious reasons.
4. Luckily for me, I share my name with a Catholic Saint, so googling me turns up nothing about me.

I know. Most everyone feels the same way…. until you’re a victim of identity theft or are sued or fired based on your activities online.
Just think about this:
In person… how much personal information do you naturally give away… you seem to have an instinct about this… you are careful.
Online and on paper it’s 10X easier to exploit your information, but for some weird reason you’re much more lax… ask yourself why this is… and if it’s a good idea.
HAIL HYDROTECH!
Actually, danzig is right sometimes you have to be careful with where you go online. I nearly got fired after I kept going to WhiteChicksBlackDicks.Com. Also WhiteCHicksBlackDicks.Berkeley.Edu. And then WhiteChicksBlackDicks.Gov
Basically, what I’m saying is I have jungle fever.

I don’t care if you or anyone else thinks it’s a good idea. It really doesn’t help or hurt me…. but I do care about the Cal community and would pick up hitchhikers with Cal hats on. You guys are more important to me than your average bloke at the pub.
Just take a second and think about my advice….and decide if YOU think it’s a good idea… based on what you know about technology.
Plus are there any former Google programmers on this blog??? Why don’t you chime in on this discussion.
HAIL HYDROTECH!
I am not a Google programmer. Nor can I speak to the identity theft issues addressed by Mr. Danzig, because his discussion of the technology is way over my head. I can, however, tell you that my job is giving legal advice to employers, and representing them in court when they fail to follow it. And every client of mine, and of every other employment attorney, is advised to conduct an internet search on every applicant for employment to see if there is anything questionable out there. What is “questionable” will, of course, depend on the type of job you are applying for. But employers are generally held liable for the actions of their employees, and can also be held liable for “negligent hiring” if they fail to do an internet background check on the person, and that background check would have turned up information which would have caused a reasonable employer not to hire them. Employers are especially sensitive to internet postings which might indicate that the applicant might make the employer vulnerable to claims of sexual, racial, or similar harassment, since they get sued for that all the time.
There is no need to close all your on-line accounts. Just be careful, when you are posting something under your own name or which can easily be identified as yours. You shouldn’t post anything on such sites that you wouldn’t be willing to have your employer see.
oh lord, that whitechicksblackdicks thing from above is going to haunt me until the endof days, isn’t it?

Oh, and if you are suing somebody for personal injuries, claiming you are paralyzed, don’t post pictures of yourself dancing or riding a jet ski. (That actually happened in a case one of my colleagues was handling.)
Jesus fucking christ
It’s one game. Cal didn’t shoot well.
There’s your fucking article.
Sorry to be going ballistic, but I really hate this shit. Not only is it wildly ignorant of reality, it’s totally devoid of content. Nothing but post facto “I-told-you-so-ism.” It’s like a fucking mad lib.
Someone explain to me what, other than luck and Cal being better, differentiates this Cal team from last year’s Davidson team, which was (after the fact, of course) obviously a team of destiny with great heart, grit, etc etc.

Yes exactly. The media needs to accept that the tournament is a crapshoot. If we got swept in a 7-game series, maybe some big conclusions could be drawn. But we lost one game, because they made a change to the zone and we went cold. Many times this season, teams switched to zone and we absolutely killed them. So what if it didn’t happen this game. Sometimes you just don’t shoot well.
I agree with some of Ratto’s points in his story this morning (we might not be a whole lot better next season) but I am not willing to draw grand conclusions about the future of Cal basketball based on a cold shooting half against a pretty decent team.
by Tedfordisgod on Mar 20, 2009 2:40 PM PDT up reply actions
one quibble
we were ice cold the entire game. The 3-2 they started using was effective, but not that much more effective than the man to man they had been using the whole game. We were just not hitting open shots, and I would say especially in the first half.

Bleacher report’s prediction for Cal football in 2009.
California will need to replace key defensive players, but the return of Best and Riley should create one of the best offenses in the Pac-10.
Best runs for over 1,500 yards while Kevin Riley throws for over 4,000. California sits in first place nearly the entire season only to have it ripped out from under them. Oh well; the Holiday Bowl will be greatly appreciated.

Given that we get Oregon and USC early, if we’re in first place when November starts, we’re going to finish in first.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

oh, i agree
but oregon and usc will be the top conference contenders, and if we beat them both, we’ll have a two game lead on both with the rest of the conference to play. i’d feell very confident going down the stretch with that in hand.
of course, i’d be very glad to take one of those two games. very glad.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Feldman's powerhouses under construction: Two Pac-10 schools
3. Oregon: I see the Ducks as an emerging force in the West. New head coach Chip Kelly has an exciting, wide-open system that is attractive to players. The program has some cachet and the Nike connection sure isn’t hurting. USC is still the elite program on the West Coast but if Oregon can land a few more quality defensive players, the Ducks have a chance to make things very interesting. Who knows, if some of Oregon’s JC transfers can come through on defense, the Ducks could end USC’s run of Pac-10 dominance this fall.
10. UCLA: The Bruins were further than anyone on this list from national title talk in 2008, but Rick Neuheisel is turning this program around and put together an outstanding recruiting class last month, landing a bunch of coveted recruits. UCLA is still a long way from scaring USC, but the Bruins aren’t going to be out of the top 10 for more than two more seasons.

I like Oregon and the Oregon Program, I think they are great, but I don’t think they will ever be a perennial title contender, simply because they too far from the talent pools.

I remember him. He’s played the last 2-3 seasons in China. He made it to the title series last season (I think he’s with Liaoning, but I’ll have to check to be sure) and got almost swept by Guangdong (Yi Jianlian’s former team – last year featuring former Cal superstar Lamond Murray)

Looks like he’s not here this year – but here’s an article about him last season.
(He’s certainly not the most impressive import to play in China. I think it’s probably Lamond Murray and Roy Tarpley – and this season Bonzi Wells for 2 months)
