DBD 2.16.12: History of Video Game Handhelds

The PlayStation Vita, originally known as the PSP 2, will officially launch next Wednesday... however there are reports of some being released into the wild early.
I can personally vouch.

With the release of Sony's second handheld device, let's look back at the other notable handheld gaming devices that have kept us either occupied and/or distracted.
In the early 1980's, we only had games like the Tiger electronic LCD handhelds or Matttel's Football. They were sold separately and only allowed one game on each to be played.
In 1989 though, things changed. Nintendo released a handheld that had interchangeable cartridges allowing for more than one game to be played on it. It was a technological leap since it basically had the processing power equivalent to 1983's Nintendo Entertainment System.
It was called the Game Boy.
The best selling game to ever grace the monochromatic, green-tinted screen was the classic Tetris (mostly because Nintendo had a promotion going on that included the game with the handheld) with over 30 Million cartridges sold.
Even 1998's World-changing Pokemon Red and Blue couldn't top that.
Throughout the Nineties, we would see handhelds from Nintendo's major competitors, such as the Atari Lynx and the TurboExpress.
The one that came the closest to even denting the Game Boy's major market share was 1990's Sega Game Gear. It was basically a portable version of their current home console, the Master System, allowing for essentially the entire main game library to be played on the handheld. The major complaint was that it sucked batteries dry faster than you can buy them and put them in.
The Game Boy would enjoy market dominance until 1998, when the original Game Boy line would finally be phased out by it's successor, the Game Boy Color.
While essentially still a Game Boy of old, it allowed games to finally be played in glorious color! Say farewell to the monochrome and hello to glorious 15-bit colors.
Around this time, SNK, the makers of the Neo Geo home and arcade machines, released their own handheld: the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
Much like their home console business though, it failed to gather enough steam to get a good foothold in the American and European market. Its production was phased out when SNK was bought out by Aruze, a pachinko machine developer.
The Game Boy line would finally make a generation leap in 2001 with the Game Boy Advance. Harnessing the power essentially of the Super NES, it allowed a whole new library of games to go portable.
It was this generation of handheld that Pokemon finally reigned supreme, with both Ruby and Sapphire and Emerald topping the sales charts.
Two years later in 2003, phone-maker Nokia tried their hand at the handheld console market, releasing the N-Gage. The N-Gage would have one of the most ill-fated histories ever in the home console market. It never met any expectations, sales-wise or with the critics. Doubling as both a phone and a gaming device, the style and look failed aesthetically and buyers were turned off from the system. The lack of good games also killed any hope it had of being successful.
2004 would be a major year for the handheld industry, as both Nintendo and Sony would be releasing their handhelds (Sony's first) the same year.
Nintendo had their DS. Harnessing the power of an Nintendo 64 console with added dual screens (one being touch-sensitive), handhelds were finally able to produce 3D-plane graphics with ease.
In Sony's corner, they announced and released their PlayStation Portable. Harnessing the equivalent power of an original PlayStation, Sony had the PSP focus on more action-oriented games, allowing them to take away a portion of Nintendo's handheld audience, something no one had done before in the handheld market.
We now arrive to the current generation. Nintendo already released their current handheld: the 3DS, an upgraded DS that has the ability to project 3D-images without the need for 3D glasses. So far, it appears that the 3DS is actually failing to meet expectations. A price slash occurred late last year, as well as free games being given out to owners. Whether the poor sales have to do with the economy or the handheld itself (or even the handheld's gimmick of 3D without the need for glasses) is unknown.
Sony's PlayStation Vita, or PSV, or PSVita, or PSP2, is awaiting in the wings, ready to pounce on the 3DS' downtrodden status in the market. It boasts a massive technological leap, with the ability to produce graphics just about as good as Sony's main current console, the PlayStation 3. It also features a touch screen and rear touch pad.
It also meets the demands of the more hardcore gamers by featuring something most handhelds don't have: dual analog sticks for improved control.
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.

What about Game 'N Watches?
I had 5 of these. Helped me get through dozens of road trips from LA to SF
I was going to post about the Game & Watch
So glad someone else did! My mom had a bunch of these and I loved playing them.

Mattel Football was the BEST !!!!!!!
I could sometimes run out the full first quarter clock on one play since the “defense” had to chase you back and forth and couldn’t go off the left hand part of the screen to the right hand part of the screen…….
And get off my lawn !!!!!
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.
This anecdote is factually correct
I’ve only owned two handheld game systems: the Mattel Football and the original GameBoy.
After that I moved to consoles and PC and pretty much stayed there.
But that Mattel game … wow. Old Skool Rules, New Kids Drool.
And yes, the lawn. Off.
Being an Old Blue means embracing the "meh".
Wasn’t there also a soccer one? I think the gameplay was exactly the same as basketball.
Jorge Gutierrez is "The guy with the hair plays with the flair"
For some reason, I remember a baseball one as well.
California Golden Blogs: Ethnic food → pizza and chili → boboli → boobies.
Yep
After the Football game went totally viral (before viral was used in that way), Mattel made Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, and I think they even put a Hockey one together too.
And then, GameBoy came out.
Being an Old Blue means embracing the "meh".
I had the baseball one. My dad bought it on a business trip to the States (before we moved here, obviously). Since I didn’t know anything about the rules of baseball, it was a bit confusing but once I discovered that the “home run” light and noise sequence didn’t mean “game over,” all was well.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
My friend and I would have games where it was basically the first to score in 1 play.
I also remember the later green ones where you could pass.
Or the one where you could play 2 player facing each other.

I had the green one with passing. I loved that game

YES!
I had a best friend that had Shinobi that we used to play for hours at a time
And a kid up the block had the baseball one that also consumed way too much of my childhood.
The baseball one is so frustrating! You have to press the damn button at the exact right second!

#linsanity
10 points, 13 assists in a win against the Sac Kings
This lovely winning streak has included all kinds of victories— solid wins, comebacks, last-minute flurries— but, until tonight, no pure, unadulterated laughers. Tonight was just that. The Kings barely bothered to get off the team plane, shooting and defending with dour nonchalance (poor Kings fans. We know what that’s like), and the Knicks punished ’em for it. Jeremy Lin hardly looked to score, instead sprinkling fine passes to each of his hungry friends. New York scoring was wonderfully balanced, with seven guys scoring in double-digits and Tyson Chandler trailing close behind with nine. The game was pretty much over mid-way through the second quarter, which meant we got a good hour or so of silly, carefree basketball and, like DonMoosavi mentioned in the thread, plenty of idle chatter between Walt Frazier and Mike Breen (including some important elephant facts).
Take the jump for a quick recap of a pleasant, lighthearted evening.
Incidentally, when I first found the Knicks SBNation blog, I thought I accidentally found Kodiak’s personal blog.

I’m not really a fan of any kind of race-based sports hero worship. Jeremy Lin being good at basketball has zero to do with him being Asian, it has everything to do with him being tall, fast, and a hard worker. I think Jews going nuts over Sandy Koufax and Mexicans with FernandoMania was ridic, too, and indicative of a kind of odd brand of self-hate. Like if I were to say “I never would have believed that a Jew could do anything of value athletically until I saw it with my own eyes!!!” Doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe I will never understand.

That and Mexicans in LA wanted a Mexican star in baseball. The first full season, heck his first 8 or so starts, he was ridiculous. Something like 6-0 with a bunch of complete games and very few earned runs. All the Mexicans rallied around him. He also came out of nowhere. At the end of 1980, he was called up and pitched well. But having to step in opening day when Jerry Reuss got hurt and pitching a complete game shutout. It’s like Lin now having instant success out of nowhere and keeping it up the first 8 games or so.

he alludes to it here:
Slowly, I’ve been trying to eliminate the reasons why. I put on weight this offseason. I’ve refined my offensive game. I’ve refined my defensive game. I’ve done the training camps and competed with and against the best. When I was in camp with the Pacers, they asked me to stop blogging while I was there and I did that, too.
There’s really only one more thing I can do and that’s to take it a step further. I’m taking a step back and quitting the Yahoo! blog game. I would consider it more of a Brett Favre retirement, but still, I’ll be away from the blog as long as I’m in the NBA realm. It just seems that I’m closer than ever and I’m no longer going to give anyone a reason to scratch me off their list.

Actually by the time a player makes it to the majors these days he’s probably already played reasonably well in the minors (and if he hasn’t, he had a great pedigree coming out of high school/college and they just expect him to be good). Baseball basically doesn’t have any parallels like this anymore.
Yeah. The closest you can get are low-drafted players like Pujols and Piazza.

Well, but you can’t take care out of the equation. I mean, it’s not even “race”, purely, it’s a cultural thing. It’s about all those kids who grew up with Tiger Moms that told them, “NO, YOU HAVE TO STUDY AS THE FIRST, SECOND, AND ONLY PRIORITY,” and would have in no way tolerated for a second the notion that the kid could play in the NBA, because that’s not a realistic, secure way to be successful. I mean, I’m not even Chinese/Taiwanese, but I totally relate to his type of background because it’s very Asian. I mean, obviously his parents were cooler than most (as were mine, thankfully), but that’s the milieu he came out of.

it doesn’t feel like the religion is more important than the performance in the lin story. tebow’s story sounds like it’s all because of religion.
either way, both sully the experience for me. i think that athletes need to accept the fact that they are gifted. it’s great to be humble, but praising god for everything is not the only way to stay humble.

question – the drive on campus were always boosted by asian-looking students – do diseases that afflict bone marrow affect the asian population more than the others, or is there a specific shortage of marrow donors of certain ethnicities, or coincidental?
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
I don’t think that the Asian population is affected more, but there is a dearth of minorities (not only Asians) on the registries.
"Sometimes you get it, and sometimes you get got."
by TheBuckeyeBear on Feb 16, 2012 2:46 PM PST up reply actions
i think TBB is correct. there are very few asians in the registry (even fewer south asians iirc). it may also be harder to find a match among asians but i could easily be wrong on that…
"#caltrollgang" - RB
From the AADP:
Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are ‘markers’ on the white blood cells. These antigens are inherited characteristics, just as is the color of one’s eyes and hair or skin. In a tissue transplant, the closer the match in HLA type between the donor and the recipient, the greater the chance that the transplant will be successful. Due to these genetic factors, patients have the best chance of finding a donor who is the same racial background
And…
Currently, only 25% of the National Registry represent the racial minority communities; therefore, the current odds for a minority patient to find a matching unrelated donor may be more close to 1 in a million. This is the reason for the current funding programs geared specifically to drastically increase the number of donors representing the ethnic minority communities.

my buddy that needed a marrow donor is a mutt of theworld. has japan, europe, native american, and latino in him…thought that it’d take him a while to find a match. but like a week after i signed up, he found a donor.
is this a thing specifically afflicting people of mixed race? because i would imagine that if you had siblings you could get from them…donated blood for my cousin’s brain surgery years ago, and no luck from the parents?
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!

Not necessarily. My father in law needed a marrow transplant ~15 years ago, and not only did my wife and her sister not match him, they didn’t match one another. Mind you, part of that was because he’s Anglo-Irish-Dutch in background, and they have the wild card of an eastern European / Jewish mother.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
My friend Janet has a younger brother, and they’re still looking for donors, so sadly, immediate family members aren’t always going to match. She’s Chinese, btw, and not multi-racial (BUT THOSE ARE IMPORTANT TOO! EVERYONE SIGN UP!!!! And you know, maybe donate cord blood instead of eating it, you crazy Scientologists.)

Warriors G.M. Larry Riley on losing Jeremy Lin: 'We have to face up to that'
http://www.mercurynews.com/jeremy-lin/ci_19972040?source=most_viewed
We can’t take the position he’s a fluke, because he isn’t," Riley said in a phone interview. “Jeremy Lin will have a 10-year career in this league. People are expecting him to fall off the face of the earth. That’s not going to happen.”
So the question begs: How did this happen? Golden State wanted to make a play for restricted free agent center DeAndre Jordan, a move that required clearing up more than $10 million of salary cap space. That dictated that Lin’s salary of some $700,000 be axed from the payroll.
The Los Angeles Clippers matched the Warriors’ offer, keeping Jordan in L.A, something the Warriors knew was a risk.
“With a certain degree of reluctance, we did it anyway,” Riley said. “At the same time, I’m not going to duck the issue — we went after a center.”
The team could’ve used its amnesty clause on center Andris Biedrins, who is making $9 million per over the next three years. That would have allowed the Warriors to keep the likes of Lin and swingman Reggie Williams, also let go in the bid for Jordan.

Consumer Comfort Rises to Highest Level in Year
[1]
Consumer confidence in the U.S. increased for a fourth straight week to reach the highest level in a year as more households believe the economy is improving.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index rose to minus 39.8 in the period ended Feb. 14 from minus 41.7 the previous week. It marked just the third time since April 2008 that the gauge has climbed above minus 40, a reading consistent with recessions or their aftermath. The monthly expectations gauge climbed to minus 7 in February, also a 12-month high.
Sentiment among those without a job was the strongest since April 2008, showing news of payroll gains and fewer job cuts is even lifting the spirits of households that have yet to benefit from the recovery. Higher stock prices so far this year may also be giving confidence a boost, helping offset rising fuel prices.
"Rising incomes, a slower pace of firings in the economy and a modest wealth effect due to the near bull market in equities likely combined to create the conditions that sent economic pessimism to its lowest reading in over a year," said Joseph Brusuelas, a senior economist at Bloomberg LP in New York.
Claims for jobless benefits last week unexpectedly dropped to the lowest level in four years, showing the job market is on the mend, figures from the Labor Department showed today.

Harvard’s Liberal-Arts Failure Is Wall Street’s Gain
[1]
Explanations for why so many Ivy League graduates rush into finance — along with law and consulting — tend to fall into two camps.
The economic determinists say this is no mystery. Finance, law and consulting pay high salaries — much higher than most other options on the table. It would be strange, given the financial incentives, if these graduates weren’t going into such high-paying fields.
The social determinists say these students are simply following their tribe. Finance, law and consulting employ smart, high-status individuals in desirable urban locales. Because Ivy League graduates are smart, high-status individuals who generally want to work and live among people like themselves, it makes sense that they take the road more traveled.
These two camps are not mutually exclusive. You can follow the money while you follow your friends. But I’m young enough to know a lot of these graduates, or at least a lot of their recent predecessors. In conversations with them, I’ve come to favor another explanation: Their educations are failing them.
In effect, Wall Street — like a few other professions, including law, management consulting and Teach for America — is taking advantage of the weakness of liberal arts education.

WBB hits the road to Oregon to finish their season
California Makes Final Regular-Season Road Trip
The California Golden Bears (18-7, 9-4 Pac-12) try to cement their second-place standing in the conference with a pair of road games. On Thursday, Feb. 16, the Bears will take on the Oregon Ducks (14-11, 6-7 Pac-12) at 7 p.m. in Eugene. The Bears finish off the trip by facing the third-place Oregon State Beavers (17-7, 8-5 Pac-12) on Saturday, Feb. 18 at 2 p.m. in Corvallis.
Golden Bear Notes Despite last week’s 76-75 overtime loss to USC, the Bears still remain alone in second place in the Pac-12 standings with a game lead over Oregon State and two games up on the three teams tied for fourth (Arizona State, USC, UCLA). The top four teams in the conference earn first-round byes in the Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament.
After starting Pac-12 play 0-2, the Bears turned things around with their home series against the Oregon schools, defeating Oregon State 73-56 and Oregon 90-67. Those were the first two games of a six-game win streak. Overall, the Bears are 9-2 since New Year’s Day, with both losses coming in overtime by a combined four points. Cal has yet to lose a game in regulation in the 2012 calendar year.
Apple to Bring iPhone, iPad Features to Mac .
[1]
Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook wants to make its Mac more like an iPhone.
In an interview at the company’s headquarters here, Mr. Cook unveiled a new version of the company’s Macintosh operating system that incorporates several features from the software that powers Apple’s hit mobile devices. They include Apple’s messaging service, notifications app, gaming center, sharing features and integration with the company’s online service iCloud—all pioneered for the iPad and iPhone, which use the software known as iOS.
Named “Mountain Lion,” the new version of Mac OS X is the clearest sign yet of Apple’s belief that the mobile, laptop and desktop world are destined to converge—and that Apple wants to be a catalyst.

What is Pinterest Anyway?
Pinterest’s Rite of Web Passage—Huge Traffic, No Revenue
An introduction to Pinterest (in easy graphic format)
If you haven’t heard of Pinterest, you likely will soon.
Traffic to the website—which lets users create online scrapbooks to share images of projects or coveted products—has grown tenfold over the past six months. In January, the number of visitors on Pinterest.com was almost a third of that on Twitter.com.
There is one problem: The 16-person Palo Alto, Calif., start-up isn’t sure how it is going to make money.
“Pinterest’s monetization strategy isn’t in the oven and it’s not even off the baking table,” said Jeremy Levine, a board member of Pinterest and a venture capitalist at Bessemer Venture Partners. “We have one hundred ideas but no execution as of yet.”
Pinterest’s situation isn’t unusual for an Internet start-up; some may even call it cliché. After watching the growth of Facebook Inc. and Twitter—both of which grew quickly at first without having a business model—Pinterest co-founder Ben Silbermann said he is following the same path and will worry about details later.
“My hope is that if we build a service that a lot of people use to plan and discover things, that will be really valuable,” said the 29-year-old entrepreneur, a former Google Inc. employee.

How Dreamy Is the Dreamliner?
I flew from Tokyo to Frankfurt on Feb. 3 and could feel the Dreamliner differences. My contact lenses didn’t dry out as much as they usually do on long flights; same for my nose. I only slept an hour, partly because a nearby infant wailed several times during the night, even though the Dreamliner is supposed to lessen air-pressure pain in babies. Still, I wasn’t dragging as much as I usually am after sleepless overnight trips.
Small details do make a difference. The plane comes standard with individual air vents over passengers, something that is rarely found on wide-body jets. That gives each passenger more control of air flow and temperature. And the large 787 window offered a beautiful panoramic view of Tokyo on departure.

#trollgang
It’s always such a disappointment to get on an international flight and be on a 767 (instead of a 777 or 747) #firstworlddisappointments
well, for United, all the 767s are upgraded in Business/First. You can still end up in a really old 777 with old crappy seats. Also, the 767 is 2-2-2 in business while the upgrades in the 777’s go 2-4-2. That’s pretty cramped for business class.
That said, I imagine first class in the nose of a 747 is an experience with no equal.

Men's Golf leading in Hawaii
Cal Leads after First Day of Burns Defense
Cal has jumped out to a four-stroke lead at the end of the first round Wednesday at the John A. Burns Intercollegiate. Cal is attempting to defend the team title they won at the event last season and also tie a school record with third victory of the 2011-12 regular season. Max Homa and Joël Stalter are tied for second place after shooting opening-round scores of 66, one shot off the lead of Duke’s Julian Suri following his first-round seven-under par 65.
The performances of Homa and Salter led a team effort that includes all five Golden Bears shooting under-par rounds at the event hosted by Hawai’i at the par-72, 7,218 yard Arnold Palmer Course at the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s North Shore. Homa is a defending individual medalist at the event, having reached a playoff at the 2011 Burns before being defeated on the first hole of the extra session.
Clips take down the Wiz
Clippers 102 – Wizards 84 – Tougher Than Last Time, but Not So Tough
The Los Angeles Clippers had dispatched the Washington Wizards so easily when the two teams met back east 11 days ago that there was a tendency to feel uneasy tonight as the game wore on. The Wizards hung around and hung around, actually taking the lead periodically in the second and third quarters. But even when the Wizards were close, it felt like the Clippers were still in control.
As referenced above, Lin and Knicks took down Kings
Sactown Royalty would like you to z past this game…
Kings 85, Knicks 100: Zzzzz…
What a miserable game to watch. With all the hype and energy surrounding the Knicks currently and the way these Kings have stepped up playing in the Garden the last few years, you’d think that they’d come out looking to prove something. Instead the Kings came out flat and stayed that way much of the night.
Jeremy Lin’s streak of 20 point games was ended at 6, but his scoring wasn’t needed. As expected, he absolutely killed the Kings running the Pick & Roll, and he ended up with 13 assists (to go with 10 points and 5 rebounds) in just 26 minutes of play. Six more Knicks scored in double-figures, and Tyson Chandler had 9. Landry Fields led New York with 15, and Bill Walker and Steve Novak chipped in 14 each. The Knicks as a whole shot 51.3% from the field, and led pretty much throughout, as the Kings never made much noise.
Woman: TSA workers think I'm 'cute,' scanned me three times at Dallas airport
[1]
A Dallas woman says she was forced to undergo three body scans by TSA workers because she has a “cute” figure – and she’s not the only woman complaining about passenger “peep shows” at America’s airports.
The passenger, Ellen Terrell, is among a host of women who suspect they were randomly selected for body scans not because of any threat they posed, but because TSA workers wanted a closer look at their physiques, according to an investigation by CBS 11 in Dallas of more than 500 passenger complaints about the TSA.
“I feel I was targeted by the TSA employee to go through the see-you-naked machine because I am a semi-attractive female,” according to one of the complaints reviewed by CBS.

Anderson Cooper gives 'Toddlers & Tiaras' moms a taste of their own medicine
[1]
TLC’s “Toddlers & Tiaras” always shows little girls getting over-the-top dolled up for this beauty pageant and that. The young ladies spend hours in the makeup chair, a few more hours getting their hair (or sometimes, wig) done and then don outrageously expensive gowns and other custom-made costumes.
But on Friday, fans and detractors of the popular series will see something a bit different when four “Toddlers” mamas and their tots — Alana and mom June, EverRose and mom Kayla, Laci and mom Alicia, and Paisley and mom Wendy — appear on “Anderson.” The host, in an effort to get the mothers to see what their little girls go through for the pageants, gave the ladies a makeover, but not just any makeover — they’re dressed up in their daughters’ favorite pageant looks.

Pizza with a full layer of cream cheese in between the sauce and the mozzarella
16. UT-San Antonio: La Costra Del Guero
The ingenious cooks at this taco truck make a white cheese fondue and then fry it into a crisp shell — basically a hard tortilla made completely out of cheese. It’s stuffed with carne asada, fresh salsa and cilantro, then served on three soft corn tortillas just in case.
1. Texas: Three Wise Fries
Austin, Texas is a beautiful place. A land where the yuppie foodie movement collides with Texas’s bigger is better mindset in an insane urban mash-up that produces some highly edible results. Case in point: these truck food cheese fries, which come topped with the typical orange goo, but also marinated beef short ribs, spicy marinated chicken, twice-cooked pork belly, grilled onions and a kicker called el scorcho sauce.

Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
From what I recall, the big problem is that your metabolism becomes accustomed to you being at a certain weight.
So, even after you lose the weight, you have to consumer fewer calories than someone else who is your same weight/height/age because of the metabolic difference.
I really wish I had known this before I got well-insulated a few years ago.

I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
what kind of buffet was it (besides the fat kind)?

I was led to believe it was Chinese, but it was some “Chinese” and then a whole lot of the kind of food you would expect to appeal to people for whom $6.95 for lunch is a selling point. Depressingly, it looked like there were more than a few old people there trying to stretch out their Social Security check by having one monster meal.

Oh, met up with one of my team at a customer office to clear out some cubicles for the incredible shrinking team, and let him pick where we went for lunch. He’s got three kids (17, 14, 12) and a lot of college to pay for, so he’s not picking the 1%-er places for lunch.
It wasn’t bad, just wasn’t very good.

Nope. Too expensive for me I think. I’m sure it’s very good. There’s been a bunch of publicity for him because of Top Chef. I haven’t seen it so I don’t know how well he did, though he was top 5 I think.
There is another set of Chinese/Asian fusion restaurants owned by the same person that are also supposed to be good.

they sell indian burritos and rice bowls. burritos are wrapped in naan or roti. the meat/veggies/rice is laid out on a steam tray. you pick if you want rice, potatos, a meat / veggie (they have chicken, pork, mixed vegetables, and paneer karahi), and some fillers (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onions, cilantro, jalapenos, etc) and some chutney or raita. then, they wrap it up.

it’s definitely not greasy, they do a good job of that (of course if you get the chicken with tikka masala sauce it’ll be a little greasy).
fresh wise… if you got a lunch, it will be reasonably fresh. i would hesitate a bit more when it’s not busy. i mean, it’s steam table, the normal rules of engagement apply.

This time last year, the Cal baseball team didn’t know if there would be another season.
Bleeding money, the campus decided to cut the team on Sept. 28, 2010. One of college baseball’s storied programs appeared destined to become a sad historical footnote.
But the Cal baseball community banded together, and made the good kind of history, raising enough money to fund the team’s future while making it to the College World Series.
Now, with their financial future secure, the comeback kids of last year are focused on one goal only: getting back to Omaha.

Daily Cal on mbb:
The Cal basketball team has already accomplished significant feats this season: The Bears have already posted 20 wins with five games left and swept the L.A. schools for the first time since 1959.
When Cal faces Oregon at 7:30 p.m. Thursday night at Haas Pavilion, the first-place Bears can come one step closer to securing their second conference crown in three years in the log-jammed Pac-12 race. The Bears hold a tiebreak over Washington, while the Ducks are currently tied for third with Arizona and Colorado.
Despite all of its success this season, Cal (20-6, 10-3 in the Pac-12) has yet to establish itself as a team that can prevail in tight games. The Bears’ only notable down-to-the-wire victory was a pivotal 69-66 triumph at Washington a month ago, but Cal has also fallen by four points or fewer in three of its six losses.

Daily Cal on Hunter Kamp:
The question was simple, tossed out in one of the rooms along the southern hallway of Haas Pavilion. It was Jan. 12 and roughly a dozen reporters, sprawled across a directionless mass of chairs, peppered questions about Cal’s 57-50 win over Colorado.
Do you feel like you stopped struggling tonight?
Forward Harper Kamp sat in front of a large, Cal logo-printed canvas, his eyes flickering. His sharp jaw, cleanly shaven, seemed to tighten just slightly. Less than a half hour ago, he had scored 14 points against the Buffaloes, his largest effort in over seven weeks during a season that saw him — at that point — average only 8.8 points per game. The query was pointed toward an offensive emergence, but it carried the implication that if Kamp wasn’t scoring, he wasn’t contributing at full capacity.

CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
Daily Cal begs you to come to Haas:
There is something about the heart and soul of the Cal men’s basketball team — the hustle, the grit, the attitude.
It comes from something deep inside the arc of a changing sport.
Gone is the era of the senior-laden team, a core group of veterans guiding a squad through thick and thin, adversity and adventure, from potential to the promised land.
Except in Berkeley.
Harper Kamp and Jorge Gutierrez buck that trend. With every charge taken, ball stolen, foul drawn and extra pass made, Cal’s two seniors are reminding people what is great about college basketball. It’s not the glitz and glamour of the NBA, the alley-oops, the isolations. It’s about student-athletes playing for love of the game.
College basketball has become a grand detour instead of the tour of grandeur it once was. Stars stay one season and bolt for the pros. Much was made of the star freshmen who returned for a sophomore season — Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger, Kentucky’s Terrence Jones, North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes — but does anyone believe they’ll ever become upperclassmen? Or build a true legacy?

Daily Cal on WBB:
When the Cal women’s basketball team plays Oregon at 7 p.m. Thursday night in Eugene, Ore., you can bet on one thing with certainty: There will be lots of points.
That certainty was confirmed when the two squads played each other in Haas Pavilion to open the new year. It was a shootout between the two fast-paced teams, as the Bears (18-7, 9-4 in the Pac-12) mauled the Ducks, 90-67. From the start, points were as readily available as the food in an all-you-can eat buffet. By the end of the first half, Cal led the Ducks, 54-36.
The opportunity for the Bears to play Oregon’s anemic defense at Matthew Knight Center — dead last in the Pac-12′s scoring defense rankings with 75.6 points allowed — could not come at a better time.
Cal played underachieving basketball last week in its home games against UCLA and USC. The Bears had trouble handling the ball, committing 25 turnovers against the Bruins. Against the Trojans, Cal was doomed by poor shot selection and free throws shooting.
After winning eight of their previous nine games, the Bears were a shadow of their former selves last week. But the team has already brushed past its lackluster performances.

Daily Cal on track:
Chelsea Reilly kept her arms pumping, legs churning, breathing at a constant rate the final 200 meters of her 3000-meter race. She crosses the finish line, exulted but the holder of a new school record in the 3000 her first time ever running the event.
The 3000 meter record has been one of several that has fallen this indoor track season. The Bears will look for the momentum they have built during the indoor season to carry over to outdoor competition, which will kick off the first weekend in March.
"The indoor season is a good stepping stone for outdoor because we are able to see where many of the athletes are in terms of fitness," coach Tony Sandoval said.
The 2012 Cal track and field team features a majority of freshmen and sophomores with a sprinkling of juniors and a few seniors. The team has a strong base in its distance squad and talented sprinters and jumpers — all competing with the common goal of winning a Pac-12 Championship.
"We would like to really establish our program on the national stage and show the other teams what we are capable of when focused," Sandoval said.

Daily Cal WBB Power Rankings:
No. 1: Stanford (12-0, 22-1)
My, Stanford, that’s an awful lot of "W"s you’ve got on your record, there. Once again you blew past your opponents — this time the L.A. schools — and tacked two more triumphs onto your home record. Once again the Ogwumike sisters continued to astound with mind-boggling stats: Chiney’s 21 points and career-high six blocks in Thursday’s Trojans tilt, Nneka’s 25 points on Sunday versus the Bruins. Does it ever get frustrating to play in a conference utterly beneath your top-five talent? Then again, you also had an opponent like Cal not too long ago to remind you that wins aren’t always a guarantee. Nonetheless, you best lace up those dancing shoes now, Card, because everyone knows you’ll make another daring March Madness performance this year.
— Annie Gerlach
No. 2: Cal (9-4, 18-7)
Cal is a flawed team. The Bears are sloppy handlers of the ball, generously giving the basketball to UCLA 25 times last Thursday. Cal cannot take advantage of its free throws; while leading the Pac-12 in attempts from the charity stripe with 558 (Oregon and Arizona trail behind by 53 free throws), the Bears are dead last in free throw percentage. Cal is an inexperienced team as a whole, whose mental mistakes were exploited by USC in the last 110 seconds of overtime.
But despite the heartbreaker against the Trojans, the Bears still know how to win. And with the trip to Oregon this weekend, Cal is looking to erase the bad aftertaste from last week. Sure, the Bears are a flawed team, but as long as they can chalk that W on the board, does all the nitpicking matter?

Daily Cal MBB Power Rankings:
No. 1: California (20-6, 10-3)
The Bears picked the right time to complete their first road sweep of the Pac-12 season. They had fallen from their first-place perch after falling to Arizona at home. Given the state of the Pac-12, winning the conference is Cal’s best chance at making the NCAA tournament. So what do the Bears do? They go down to Los Angeles and sweep the season series with both L.A. teams for the first time in like a gazillion years. If that wasn’t enough, Washington lost on Thursday, meaning the Bears are back to being tied for first.
— Jonathan Kuperberg
No. 2: Arizona (18-8, 9-4)
Home wins over Utah and Colorado aren’t particularly impressive, but the Wildcats move up as other teams in the conference stumble. Taking care of business at the McKale Center puts Arizona on a four-game winning streak; if Sean Miller’s squad can extend it to six with a road sweep in the state of Washington, an at-large tourney bid becomes a more realistic possibility.

Daily Cal on baseball pitching coach:
The stinging sound of balls hitting mitts reverberates in Evans Diamond.
Often the most robust pops come from the arm of the man wearing No. 11 on his back. But sometimes, Mike Neu’s power-packed throws are not accompanied by the smack of the glove.
The 33-year-old Neu fires the ball over 250 feet toward his throwing partner, who can only watch as the raging ball sails over his head.
"I can still throw," says Cal’s first-year pitching coach. "I don’t know how long that’s going to last — gotta take advantage of it while I can."
For the Bears’ pitching staff, it has become a point of pride to outdo the former Major Leaguer, who is just seven years removed from his playing days. And Neu’s up for the challenge of keeping pace with his collegiate pitchers nearing their prime.
"He plays catch a lot, and you can just see he still has it," says Cal’s lefty starter Justin Jones. "He just has a natural arm motion."

Daily Cal on softball:
Jamia Reid is a thrill seeker. She loves standing on the bag, scanning the field, her eyes sharp for an opportunity to bolt.
"It’s a combination of strategy and speed," says the senior outfielder. "I need to be ready at all times, for anything."
It is this edge that has led Jamia to her niche on the Cal softball team. And it is a niche she has worked for four long years to forge. It is a mixture of natural talent, practice and guts that have helped her develop her coveted skill.
"You have to analyze the field and know who is covering the bag at all times," Reid says. "If it is the second baseman, you have to be even quicker off the base because she is already there. With the shortstop, it is almost like a footrace to the bag, and she has to be able to catch the ball."

SSR wants to know when the real Lakers team will please stand up:
We’re now 29 games into this current lockout-delayed and shortened NBA season. Four games away from the halfway point, and exactly one month from the trading deadline. At this point in the season, we should know what to look forward to with these Lakers. For better or worse, there’s a certain comfort in knowing how high or low to level expectations of your team. At least there’s a definitive way to feel and you can manage your expectations accordingly. You know who your team is and what their strengths and weaknesses are. No matter what, you’re able to hold some emotion towards your team. What the hell are we supposed to think about this year’s Lakers so far? Excitement? Frustration? Disappointment?
Almost halfway into the season, the Lakers are still as huge a question mark (or twenty) as they were before Derrick Rose and his Chicago Bulls came to visit on Christmas Day. It’s hard to have a concrete feeling about this team because I don’t know how this team will look a month from now. In my rooting, I like to focus on positives. Sure Fish can’t play D, but he knocks down big shots. No, World Peace can’t shoot, but he play good defense off and on. I have absolutely no idea if the group of guys I’m watching and critiquing now will look anything close to whomever is going to share the floor with Kobe by the time Spring rolls around. Major trades have put a cloud over the entire Lakers season. The Dwight rumors have lingered forever, the Chris Paul attempt signaled the Lakers were seriously pursuing that major roster shake-up Magic Johnson promised us, and the Lamar Odom giveaway signaled (hopefully) more moves to be made. But, here we are on February 15th, still waiting.
How much longer will we have to wait?

Clips beat Wiz:
The Los Angeles Clippers had dispatched the Washington Wizards so easily when the two teams met back east 11 days ago that there was a tendency to feel uneasy tonight as the game wore on. The Wizards hung around and hung around, actually taking the lead periodically in the second and third quarters. But even when the Wizards were close, it felt like the Clippers were still in control. The Clippers were dominating the boards, and were getting plenty of good shots, some of which just weren’t falling. Meanwhile, there was something that seemed flukey about Washington’s runs to that point. John Wall was constantly walking a tight rope between a turnover and an assist, a charge and a block. It was generating points, but it couldn’t last, could it?
Now, that’s a dangerous way to play. You don’t want to let a young team like Washington hang around. Nick Young and Jordan Crawford are streaky shooters, and that team would certainly have a puncher’s chance to hit enough threes to steal a win if they were close in the fourth. You have to put them away at some point.

FTF previews Lightening:
It seems like the whole hockey world has been focused on one thing this week. The waiting game has absolutely consumed everyone, Twitter is a-twitter, it’s nutty.
Don’t worry, though. Sharks-Lightning is finally here.
Kidding aside, this game doesn’t really hold too much significance in the grand scheme of things aside from the fact that there are two points on the line. The bad blood between Dan Boyle and his former team has long since diluted and Tampa doesn’t have much of a chance of securing a playoff spot, so there’s no storyline to be written about them possibly meeting down the road.
Of course, there are always trade rumors, which practically equals instant readership this time of year. While the Sharks haven’t been linked to Tampa Bay in weeks past, there are a few guys here that could move before February 27th. So allow me to take the easy way out…
Unlike in Columbus, where the marquee guys are generating all the talk, Tampa Bay isn’t going to be selling any of their stars. Steven Stamkos is, arguably, the best player in the NHL and he’s not going anywhere. Vincent Lecavalier is far from his days as an elite NHL player, but he’s stuck in Tampa because his contract makes him pretty hard to move. Victor Hedman is staying. Martin St. Louis means too much to the franchise. They’ll be keeping their big guns in the hope that they’ll be able to fix the glaring problem in net over the offseason and make a run next year. Their goaltending has really been the death knell, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that a dependable presence there could put them right back in the playoff hunt.

Lacrosse players charged for inciting a brawl
Five players on the professional lacrosse team in Rochester, N.Y., have been charged in connection with a brawl at a Minnesota restaurant involving more than two dozen people.
Rochester Knighthawks team officials told local media outlets that the players appeared in Hennepin County District Court in Edina, Minn., on Tuesday afternoon before returning to New York. The charges include disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process.
Police in Bloomington, Minn., told the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester that the players got into a fight with another group of patrons at a TGI Friday’s restaurant early Monday morning. Rochester lost to the Minnesota Swarm on Sunday afternoon in St. Paul.
Officers said glasses and other objects were thrown during the brawl, causing about $1,600 in damage.
Two other people were also charged.
Knighthawks officials said they’re investigating.

I bet this man wishes he would have never quit smoking cigarettes.
A Florida man trying to kick the smoking habit was puffing on an electronic cigarette when a faulty battery caused it to explode in his mouth, taking out some of his front teeth and a chunk of his tongue and severely burning his face, fire officials said Wednesday.
“The best analogy is like it was trying to hold a bottle rocket in your mouth when it went off,” said Joseph Parker, division chief for the North Bay Fire Department. “The battery flew out of the tube and set the closet on fire.”

Breaking news. The guvmint is dum.
A North Carolina mother is upset because her preschooler’s homemade turkey sandwich was deemed unhealthy by school officials. Her daughter ate three chicken nuggets instead. Huh?
Turns out the little girl attends a state school and her turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the Carolina Journal.
"The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs — including in-home day care centers — to meet USDA guidelines," the Journal reports. "That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables…"
Even lunches brought from home must meet this requirement and if they don’t, the childcare provider must give the student additional food.
In the case of this little girl, her packed lunch was supplemented with the school lunch that included chicken nuggets—and she ended up eating only three chicken nuggets that day. What’s more, the preschooler returned home with a note telling her parents that they owed $1.25 to pay for school lunch.

LOL People Are Dumb update
Have you been following the great North Carolina school lunch totalitarianism story? Me neither. But as near as I can tell, a little girl who was enrolled in Raleigh’s “More at Four” Pre-K program came to school a few days ago without any milk, so someone — teacher’s aide? cafeteria worker? who knows? — told her to go through the lunch line and get some. (It was free.) But she got confused and thought she had to get a whole new lunch. When she told her mother about this, the mother decided that school bureaucrats were forcing her child to eat their lunch instead of the one she packed for her daughter. A local TV station picked up on this, and before long the conservo-sphere was reporting that jack-booted thugs in North Carolina were forcing every child in their schools to eat only their Obama-approved chicken nuggets instead of nutritious family-packed meals.
Seriously. That seems to be approximately what happened — though I’ll grant that the school system’s communication apparatus seems to bear a wee bit of fault here too. Mark Thompson has the entire bloody blow-by-blow here.

Why does baby glow in the dark?
Do I tell Mrs. Kod and incite a panic…or not…?
Arsenic has been found in some foods that use organic brown rice syrup as a sweetener, including infant formula and cereal bars, according to a new study by researchers at Dartmouth College. The majority of the detected arsenic, a contaminant often found in rice, was the type that is known to be a human carcinogen.
Important findings of the study, published online Feb. 16 by the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives include:
Two of 17 infant formulas tested listed organic brown rice syrup as the primary ingredient. One had a total arsenic concentration that was six times the federal limit of 10 parts per billion (ppb) for total arsenic in bottled or public drinking water. This is particularly worrisome for babies because they are especially vulnerable to arsenic’s toxic effects due to their small size and the corresponding arsenic consumption per pound of body weight.
Twenty-two of 29 cereal bars or energy bars tested listed at least one of these four rice products—organic brown rice syrup, rice flour, rice grain or rice flakes – among the top five ingredients. The seven other bars were among the lowest in total arsenic, ranging from 8 to 27 ppb, while those containing syrup or other forms of rice ranged from 23 to 128 ppb.
Tests of high-energy products known as "energy shots" that are used by endurance athletes and others showed that one of the three gel-like blocks contained 84 ppb of total arsenic, while the other two contained 171 ppb.

This last year we had success with heirloom tomatoes + basil/oregano. On the fail side, we kilt the guava tree and the lettuce pot.
Strawberries were a push. I think we managed 2-3 berries from Little K’s special pot. But, PTB ate them all before we could get pics.
Still TBD is the avocado tree.

I can eat them just like that…. or what i normally do is clean and cut them, but just a little sugar on them with a little water and stir…

Would you notice the difference in taste if frozen strawberries were used?
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
by ikoolykedat on Feb 16, 2012 10:22 AM PST up reply actions
Yes
I used to make this for myself all the time during summer (as a pre-gym treat).
Much more frothy and less slushy like with fresh strawberies (even after thawing out the frozen strawberries).
You can also add a little sweetener of your choice (sugar, splenda, honey, agave syrup) if you want. But if you’re like me and you loved strawberry milk (think Nesquick) growing up, then you’d love this.

Yeah, I make my own fruit milk a lot in warmer months. I like Cantaloupe or Honey Dew smoothie/milk too. Throw in some strawberries and it’s super yummy

why would you freeze your bananas? and are they really ripe? it’s the really ripe part that matter.
Plus, they always have the really ripe ones super on sale at the store
When I buy bananas, I always freeze the super ripe ones.
The reason I freeze them is A so they don’t go bad and B because frozen bananas are better for smooties in my experience

I guess when I was at Cal, the smoothies I would get in the food court didn’t have yogurt. I liked them that way and they taste better than the ones with yogurt. My son loves Smoothie King but it is just so sweet and yogurty.

My place has two apple trees, one tree has granny smith like apples, and the other is fuji like apples. We basically ignore the trees year round, but they pump out apples like nobodys business. They had a bumper crop this year, and we were able to get like 5 or 6 bushels of apples from them.
My folks’ place has a mandarin orange tree, three guava trees, and two white peach trees. And they are growing a papaya tree.
Los Angeles is officially BEAR TERRITORY.
we’ve got a plum tree at home. it’s slowly dying, crop has been reducing for the last 5-10 years. it’s sad but the plums are still real good. PITA in the summer though, we gotta get to them before the birds or they fall and rot on the lawn.

Citrus × meyeri, the Meyer lemon, is a citrus fruit native to China thought to be a cross between a true lemon and either a mandarin or common orange. It was introduced to the United States in 1908 as S.P.I. #230281 by the agricultural explorer Frank Nicholas Meyer, an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture who collected a sample of the plant on a trip to China.2

I’m in the process of helping to plan a potential trip to Chicago next month. Does anyone have any recommendations on areas to stay (I’ll likely end up going the Priceline bidding route)? As of right now, the trip looks like it’ll be a lot of eating and drinking, so any suggestions there would be appreciated as well.
I offer this video of an edible balloon at Alinea, a restaurant that’s kind of famous, I guess .
Alinea is a restaurant in Chicago that opened on May 4, 2005. Its head chef and owner, Grant Achatz, is known for his preparations and deconstructions of classic flavors. In 2010, Alinea became one of only two restaurants in Chicago to receive the highest rating of three stars from the Michelin Guide

I don’t hate them per se, just bitter that they have had City’s number for the past few years. I’m mostly indifferent.
When not playing my gunners, I pull for teams like Everton, Bolton and Fulham. Partly because they have American players, but also because I respect that they’re able to stay competitive in the BPL without enjoying the same ridiculous finances as the ‘big’ clubs
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Meh. Completely unsurprising, but a longer stint at Everton would position him well to be picked up by a better European team, which would be a better outcome professionally speaking.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
I respect that he wants to 1) honor his contract, and 2) help build the game in the US.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
I wasn’t following him closely back then, but do you recall how he did during his B.Munich stint?
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Badly. Same at Leverkusen. I think he wasn’t ready, and that… well, I think the technical standard of play in England is lower, so his speed and having a decent touch that he’s built over time since the failed German experiments stands him in good stead there.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.

I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
But would present a very small resale value unless he tears it up and you find some oil-rich folks to sucker into buying a 30+ year old player
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
I don’t think you’re buying a 30 year old for resale value. You’re buying him to finish out his useful career at the club.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
Right, I think the point I was trying to make (and one I think you were pointing out earlier) is that Everton’s cash strapped and it’s likely we won’t see this deal unless there’s some change in the financial situation (big sale or CL windfall)
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
but if you’re buying a 30 year old winger who is (presumably) on the downturn of his career with no future resale value, he should be cheaper than he otherwise would be, right?
"#caltrollgang" - RB
cheaper, but you have to ask yourself if your creditors would be ok with this investment if you don’t have cash on hand to finance the purchase
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
true enough. I’d be interested what he would go for in a year or so. His wages would be lower than your normal. He makes about $2.1M which equates to $40k and change per week. Thats decent coin for sure but a huge step below the EPL star norm (and he would be close to Everton’s best player). In addition, consider the financial benefits of America’s most recognizable player playing for Everton, you’d get a big uptick in jersey sales, the opportunity to come onm lucrative preseason tours in the US, etc.
Financially, $1-2M would be a good investment.

They’re already doing pre-season tours of the States – apparently Moyes likes the quality of even the cheap training facilities at colleges etc., and they get a decent turnout. I went to see them play DC United last summer.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
true and I’m sure they gotten some jersey sales from his 2 stints but it would give Everton a huge boost to become “America’s Team” and the potential market in the US (which is still somewhat untapped and heavily slanted to Man Whore)

lol. It’s awesomely hilarious how much you hate ManU.
I think if the price is $1-2m, Everton could pull the trigger and be able to justify to the purchase to Barclays. I’d like to see more American players in the PL as well. Bolton’s got 2 Americans now (oft injured Holden and new boy Tim Ream)
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
my hatred of the Red Devils is completely irrational, I don’t even know why, it must be instinct. Its probably fed by the fact that about 1/4 of the guys on my soccer teams are Man Ewe fans and we like to talk shit to each other.

I think it would definitely give the “anyone but ManU” crowd a team to latch onto, which would be nice.
Mind you, if 1) Redknapp goes to manage England, and 2) Moyes is offered / accepts the Spurs job, all bets would have to be off.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.

No, if the owner sells, then the club can implode. (unless it’s sold to another owner with bottomless pockets)
Self sustaining (in my eyes) relies more on actual club revenues.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
that’s what i figured. are there ANY rich clubs that are self-sustaining without massive massive amounts of debt?
"#caltrollgang" - RB
Tough question to answer. There are clubs that have debt because they spend way too much on players and transfers than they take in. But you also have clubs that hold debt due to Stadium renovations and purchases.
The question I like to ask is: What BIG clubs are self sustaining. ManU, Arsenal, and recently Tottenham.
Most team lost a RIDICULOUS amount of money last year except for Arsenal. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/19/premier-league-finances-black-hole
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Yeah, ManU’s revenue was $428mil last year. They’re the most profitable and valuable last year:
http://www.therichest.org/sports/forbes-richest-football-teams/
The Glazers really fugged up the finances with the leveraged takeover.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
moyes at spurs…
the end of spurs traditonal fuck it, we’re scoring goals, worry about defending later approach?
Do they even have the roster for that style of play?
I respect Moyes and I think his current style is due to the players that he has rather than it being his one and only style.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Well, this past weekend’s game against Chelsea was how you’re supposed to play teams that are better – stay organized, win the ball, and counter attack. It worked this time because they had the ability to get through midfield and Straqualursi is improving.
Spurs are definitely more fun to watch, but that’s partly because Redknapp tends to get a particular kind of player and tells them to “go.”
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
It’s definitely a more attacking side with Saha, Adebayor, Bale, VanDerVart, and Lennon in the lineup
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Parker is more of a defensive MF, but yes, Modric plays a true playmaking CM role since VdV is definitely an attacking MF and shies from defensive duties.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
That’s about the politest description I’ve ever seen of how van der Vaart plays.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
LOL..i wanted to be nice
VdV’s workrate SUCKS but his attacking positional sense is fantastic.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
My brother supports Holland since that’s where he was born, and his thoughts on Van der Vaart at the last world cup couldn’t be committed to print in a family blog.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
Is it just me or are the elite Dutch players VERY injury prone?
(VdV, Van Persie, Schneider, Robben)
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
I think those attacking midfielders and strikers are playing at the absolute edge of what they can achieve, trying to keep their speed. There are other players like Kuyt or van Bommel who are more durable and frankly just as valuable over a season when they are in form.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
Saha will be in traction by the end of the season and Bale’s off to Barca TROLOLOL
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
I don’t know that Spurs are quite built to defend a lead or indeed much of anything. My sense is that Moyes is really good at making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and that includes getting players to be organized and comfortable in more than one position.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.

A source close to the Stephen Colbert show tells FoxNews.com that new episodes of the politically minded faux talk show should begin airing soon following a mysterious suspension of programming.
Comedy Central would only say that "due to unforeseen circumstances, the show will air repeat episodes on Wednesday, February 15 and Thursday, February 16."
Steve Albani, a spokesperson for Comedy Central told Fox411, "Unfortunately, we’re not providing any details beyond the only official statement."
The cancellation seems to be unanticipated. Ticketholders for Wednesday night’s show were told shortly before the show was expected to tape that it would not be happening.

“She thinks [Jeremy] is cute, and she’s good friend’s with [Knicks player Carmelo Anthony’s wife] Lala. It’s going to be a double date,” a source told MTO.

Bill Simmons with an ENTIRE mailbag dedicated to Jeremy Lin
This gon be good
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7579097/linsanity-bag
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Q: Doesn’t LeBron James have to be kicking himself watching Jeremy Lin light up Madison Square Garden? LeBron could be the man lighting up the Garden, and he would be legendary for revitalizing basketball in New York! If he was ever to question his “Decision,” you’d think it would be on the night Lin put up 38 and drew “MVP!” chants against the Lakers.
— Casey, Dell Rapids, S.D.
SG: Poor LeBron — he really does get blamed for everything. Although you’re tapping into the single most important point of Linsanity … something that, from a “shaping the history of the league” standpoint, probably transcends anything Jeremy Lin will do for the Knicks. You know, unless he wins three titles or something. Let’s keep going
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Hmmmm no mention of Asianness
What’s happening with Lin right now? Unprecedented. I have never seen it before — shit, I’ve never even seen a homeless man’s version of it before. And we’re going to hit some of my favorite things about his ascent throughout this mailbag. Just know that LeBron’s shadow lingers over all of it. He could have owned New York, and more important, he should have owned New York. There was — literally — no reason that it shouldn’t have happened other than greed, hubris and (I hate to say it) just a hint of cowardice. I refuse to believe that, after playing in that building in front of those fans for seven years, it didn’t dawn on LeBron that he could have been immortal in New York. How could someone not see that? My friend Lewis (a die-hard Lakers fan) went to Friday’s Lakers-Knicks game as well as Game 7 of the 2010 Finals — he said that the crowds were identical. Think about that. Chew on it. That’s what LeBron James passed up. And I’ll bet anything that, at some point in his life, he’s going to regret it.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Then, Lin starts playing at point guard … and within a week, they’re acting like a 15-seed pulling off a March Madness upset (only game after game). And yeah, I know race is hanging over this story — sometimes that happens for phony reasons, sometimes it happens for real ones, and in this case, it’s real and should hang over it a little. But if Lin happened to be white or black, I’d like to think this story would be 85 percent as fun — it’s mostly about his style of play (wildly entertaining), the whole out-of-nowhere underdog thing (always our favorite type of story as sports fans), its effect on Knicks players and Knicks fans (basically, it’s turned both groups delirious) and the fact that it’s the Knicks (who have four generations of fans, play in our biggest market and needed a feel-good story more than just about any other team). You know what’s really amazing? That he saved the Knicks’ playoff hopes AND saved his coach’s job has almost been an afterthought.
(Also an afterthought: What about Friday night’s Lakers game, when Lin was staring at a mountain of hype, a nationally televised audience, that super-excited Knicks crowd and an almost certain letdown game … and instead, he rose to the occasion and enjoyed the best performance of his career? That performance single-handedly extinguished the “Is this a flash in the pan?” dialogue and made people recalibrate his NBA ceiling. Oh, and it ended up being the perfect ending to a sports movie that’s now on its seventh or eighth ending. He could have faded into Flip Murray-esque obscurity after that Lakers game and still lived off it for the next 20 years. Instead, it’s just a small part of a much bigger story. Incredible.)

Santorum backer Foster Friess: In his day, ‘gals’ used aspirin between their knees for birth control
In an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC Thursday, billionaire Santorum backer Foster Friess said that debates over the candidate’s personal objections to contraception are overblown, adding that, in his day, “gals” used aspirin as birth control.
In a rather strange joke, Friess said: “This contraception thing, my gosh it’s so inexpensive. Back in my day they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives, the gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” Friess is presumably saying all women who didn’t want to become pregnant were abstinent and thus had no need for birth control.
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell stuttered for a moment before saying, “Excuse me, I’m just trying to catch my breath from that.”

Rich dude affiliated with UC Berkeley says you should rent
New American Dream Is Renting to Get Rich
Examining 250 properties around the U.S., and going through close to 40 client files to project the financial impact of owning real estate versus liquidating it, Arzaga, an adjunct professor in personal finance at the University of California at Berkeley, found that, “100 percent of the time it was better to rent, rather than own.”
That’s right: 100 percent.
The reason is simple. While a home is the main repository of wealth for many Americans, it comes with numerous hefty expenses. The carrying costs – what’s needed to hold and maintain the asset – range from property taxes and home insurance to emergency repairs and renovations. In a rental situation, the landlord covers those costs, leaving the occupant free to invest revenue in other areas.
yes you are ;-) And I think I was just telling some CGBers this… including one particularly hairy one while we were having lunch recently.
Where that falls down is in the extent to which property taxes drive school funding, and the general segregation of local populations by income spent on housing, and separation of rental and owned housing.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
Right, so most school systems are funded out of property taxes. That generally means that there’s more money for schools in more affluent areas. More affluent areas tend to have concentrations of rental properties and of single family homes owned by the occupants. The average income levels in the areas with rental properties tends to mean that the local schools show the kinds of problems that accompany lower incomes / poverty.
So, while I live in a county that has good schools overall, the best ones are in areas that don’t have relatively affordable rental housing. If I wanted to rent in my specific neighborhood, while I wouldn’t have my initial down payment from 1999 tied up in equity, I would also at least double my month-to-month out of pocket expenses for housing… and if I rented in a less expensive area, the savings wouldn’t be enough to cover private school.
I’m not saying this is generalizable, what I am saying is that renting is not always going to produce the best outcomes in areas that aren’t purely economic in their measurement.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
I would also at least double my month-to-month out of pocket expenses for housing
you sure about that? you’ve never had to fix your roof? insurance? structural issues? etc… speaking from experience, it has been far more economic to rent than to buy, even accounting for not exactly apples to apples comparisons.
Well, there are two things there – my individual case, and the broader associated costs.
For my case, I suppose I could put in the “except disasters” caveat, part but yeah, mortgage + insurance + property tax is still about $1200 – $1500 cheaper per month. I replaced my roof last year and that cost still ended up lower for the year all in.
The other factor is that I have an equity line of credit with interest so low that it’s practically free… so I can distribute the cost of any disasters over… I guess I have 6 years to run on it.
Of course, all of that goes to hell if we do any major renovations.
On the second issue of related costs, I’m completely sure about the education costs. We looked at that 8 ways to Sunday before moving in 2007.
Bear in mind, I’m not arguing the broader point. God forbid something happened to my wife and our daughters, I’d sell the house, clear the mortgage, and get an apartment. Anything else would be wasting money.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.

OK, good luck finding a rental property in good school district in East Bay with 3 bedrooms.
FUTBALL IZ SRS BUSINESS GUYZ // ONLY HAVE FUN WHEN ROZ BWL
--Thoroughbred
People DO rent houses, too. You’re right that there aren’t too many 3 bedroom apartments.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
I know that there is a market for 3br+ rental houses, but it’s not a very good one in Berkeley. The rent for those properties is comparable to mortgage payments. Obvi, a homeowner pays for property tax (some of which you’d get back in taxes) and home repairs and insurance, but, as long as rents and mortgage payments are comparable, and interest rates are really low, it’s not quite the poor investment that the headline of that article is suggesting.
And the article itself quotes people who make similar points about how home-buying can make sense in certain situations, provided that you’re not over-extending yourself or neglecting other investments.
FUTBALL IZ SRS BUSINESS GUYZ // ONLY HAVE FUN WHEN ROZ BWL
--Thoroughbred
Honestly, I would never say that in all situations home ownership is a bad idea, and I’m playing a bit of devil’s advocate here, so don’t take me too seriously.
But I do think that for years people just thought (assumed) that it “made good economic sense” without analyzing all the angles. And I think the feds ought to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction (over time) in the interests of fairness.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
Agreed. Everybody thought LETS JUST BUY!
Bc thats how it used to be. And value went up and up and up and up. But if values dont always rise over time, buying a home is a terrible investment. As we all just learned

What exactly is the process??? i have no idea… and i’m a little embarrassed to say I have no idea what my blood type is.
Don’t they have to drill inside your bone to get the marrow?

That’s if you become an actual donor. The test itself is a simple blood draw (if i remember correctly)
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Even easier- cheek swab!

And even if you’re a donor, they do have newfangled machines — maybe it’s an alternative process? — which are essentially a dialysis machine that removes things from your blood, iirc.
/was asked to be a donor a couple of years ago
//was then told I wasn’t necessary anymore :(

fiat, they identify whether you’re a potential match or not based on a cheek swab. if you pass that initial threshold (pretty low chance), then they do add’l blood work tod etermine if you truly are a match.
the marrow pull is only after the first two steps.

A lot of the prep process I’ve forgotten, it was several years ago. But they make sure you are a match, do the whole song and dance about how this is actually surgery and there is always a chance you could die on the table, etc etc.
Then they put you under, if you choose general, and make some incisions on the back of your hip and insert the needle.
Atoms, I don’t know whether or not they physically drill inside of your bone.

We hate to break it to you, but the world is chock full of unscrupulous people, folk who don’t care one bit about screwing you to get ahead. Thankfully, unscrupulousness can be kept in check by vigilantly recording everything that happens to you. We know, the prospect sounds daunting, but a good dash cam will at least keep you covered while driving.
caveat
the comments on youtube say that the linked video is a scam of a scam – that the scam that was attempted was amateur, and it was mainly used as grassroots advertising for that brand of dashcam. thoughts? they say the real scammers do things like disconnect brake lights and reverse lights.

It wasn’t your usual Valentine’s Day date.
No, 31-year-old Nikolas Harbar and 26-year-old Stephanie Pelzner of Portland, Ore., decided to dispense with the candle-lit dinner, the flowers and the chocolates, and instead take a walk on the wild side.
Or to be precise, a ride on the wild side. In a Subaru Legacy. With Pelzer in the backseat – naked, tied up and her mouth covered with duct tape.
Link to SF Gate — there are mugshots of the couple.

The Simpsons at 500: your top 10 episodes
http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/feb/16/the-simpsons-top-10-episodes
To celebrate the 500th episode of The Simpsons, which airs on 19 February in the US, we asked you to nominate your favourite episodes ever so we could put together The Simpsons Guardian Readers Top 10. Rather than deploy some complex Eurovision style ranking system, we kept it simple and each episode mentioned in the 1002 comments received one vote – and no that didn’t mean people who nominated “the one with Dustin Hoffman” (Lisa’s Substitute) were ignored. So here, in reverse order, is what you voted for …
Number 10: A Streetcar Named Marge (Season 4, Episode 2)
This episode has it all. Great songs (“you can always rely on the comfort of strangers”); dozens of film parodies (including a subplot involving Maggie’s Great Escape at the Ayn Rand School for Tots); Marge channeling her anger at Homer into some top drawer amateur dramatics and, as @alitadepollo notes, “the revelation that Flanders is buff!”.
I won’t say you’re wrong, but if it had to lose to one episode, I’m glad it was “You Only Move Twice”.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Ragnarok, watch out! Your wife is gonna leave you for 10 episodes of the Simpsons!

F-16s Intercept Drug Plane in Obama’s No-Fly Zone
A single-engine aircraft carrying drugs broke the temporary flight restriction around LAX as President Barack Obama was returning to the airport aboard Marine One, sources told NBC News.
NORAD fighter jets scrambled out of March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County and immediately surrounded the Cessna 182, escorting it to the Long Beach Airport.
“After intercepting the aircraft, the F-16s followed it until it landed without incident at approximately (11:30 p.m. PST), where the plane was met by local law enforcement,” according to a statement from NORAD.
Sources told NBC News that about 10 kilograms of marijuana were discovered aboard the plane.

Skywriting with a 787
Boeing delivered its first 787 last September but is continuing flight tests of the plane so that it can be certified to fly long distances over water. As part of that test, it decided to paint the sky last week — specifically, the northern tier of the continental United States, from Seattle to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They drew a flight plan that spelled out "787″ and then the Boeing logo.

“The course is designed by a certified Beerathon Course Map Veteran, who boasts extensive experience planning prior Beerathons that only include the most fun venues,” the L.A. Beerathon folks tell us. The official list of bars and beers has not been revealed, but we know the course will be concentrated in Downtown*. (Hmm..PS 612? Broadway Bar? Casey’s?)
