DBD 2.14.12 Fire Starkey...The patience of Job

Many of you have heard my laments about my lack of TV/Intenet/Phone service for the past 6 weeks but I thought I would sum it up for all to fully enjoy and mock my frustrations.
It all started when I was set to move from my old house. I had had Uverse for a year and had a generally very positive experience. Because of a construction delay (and as it turned out, the legal winding up of my builder), I was going to be homeless between Dec 23 through the 29th. As a result, the fam would be packed into my Mother in Law's house (fantasies coming true!!!!) for the duration. So my first call to Uverse was to figure out how my service would be transferred with this gap. I was told to just take my equipment with me and to call back once we got established in the new place. No, they couldn't schedule the new install now, I had to be living in the new house first.
Sigh.
I called on Jan 2 and after being shuttled around, hung up on and put on hold for a combined 2 hours (from 4 phone calls), I was told the earliest they could come out was Jan.14. Really? I would be paying for no service for 3 weeks? Yes I was told, thats the earliest we can come out. Considering I have the max package and pay about $200 a month, I found this unsatisfactory. After stewing over it for a couple of days I called back and demanded an earlier install date or I would cancel. Sorry sir, thats the best we can do.
So I cancelled. Mistake!
I called Direct TV and they could come out that Sunday, Jan 8. Sweet! So they arrive Sunday morning and Mrs Fire Starkey goes outside to talk to them. She comes into the kitchen a few minutes later and tells me they have a satellite dish. "So?" says I. Satellite dishes are not allowed by our HOA, she informs me.
Sigh.
With satellite dishes outlawed, I had 2 choice, go crawling back to Uverse and sign with Time-Warner. Since TW is evil incarnate, I went crawling back to Uverse. I explained the situation and asked if they could bring back my old order to transfer to the new house. Mistake! Yes, I was informed and as a matter of fact, a tech was available to come set it up the next day! The next day I get a call from the technician who is confused. Why, says I? Well, the hous elooks empty. He gave me the address and he was at my old house. The new one is 1/3 of a mile away. Sorry, he can't do it. Cancel the order time.
I call Uverse back and explain the situation again. Ok, says foreign voice, we cant do anything right now because the cancellation doesn't show up yet. I argue for a while and am told they will fix it.
Suspicious, I call back 2 days later. Yes, they have it scheduled again. The address? The old house again.
Sigh.
Cancel everything, lets start all over. So I completely re-do the order. The new address is confirmed 4 times. They can come out Jan 25. I agree because this is bullshit and I'm not screwing it up again. Jan 25 comes and Mrs Fire Starkey takes her hald day of work off, I take the afternoon off. No one shows. I call and am told that the outside tech came and there is a problem with the wiring to the box at the street. Ok, when did you discover this? 2 days ago I'm told. Really? No call to tell us that the install is cancelled again?
Sigh.
The following week a team showed up unannounced and drilled under our driveway to run the conduit to the street and last Saturday, a guy showed up to check the network strength. He called another tech to come set up the inside later that day so in the end, it finished with a rush but never again will I screw around with an install date.

I’m lucky that our HOA is too busy fighting amongst themselves and doesn’t really enforce many of its rules. For example, when we moved in, we noticed that many of our neighbors had screen doors; plain, metal, brownish doors. We went out and found a door we like better; white vinyl screen door. Well, they told us a few weeks after we put it up that it was not in compliance with the rest of the building and that we would have to replace it with the type that everyone else has. 5 years later, we still have our same screen door.

we had some friends
in Vegas that ended up in constant fights with their HOA… they had a door thing too, after they had remodeled their entryway they got nastygrams and finally facing suits they put the door back. And then sold and bought a house.
I had a condo in Oakland for a while and the HOA there was pretty incompetent. I sold about a month before they figured out how much they needed to assess to replace all the 70s-era aluminum windows and fix all the dry rot they must have found.

I’ve spent thousands of dollars improving my front lawn because I was sick of receiving threats that it was not up to par. Lesson Learned: There will not be a HOA for ikoolykedat’s next house.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Our last HOA was a nightmare because they tried to bust us for having an “illegal” patio cover so we produced the paperwork that showed that they approved it but they made us file it all over again because they couldn’t find our file.
HOA’s are a pain in the ass but when they’re well run, in Texas its a must. Otherwise you end up with people parking old cars in the front yard or something.

Definitely not as bad in a detached-house type development where there’s not as big a risk of special assessment.
And as always this is not legal advice but: for anyone thinking of buying in a common-interest development, demand to see the HOA organizational docs and (especially) recent meeting minutes before you close your deal. It’s usually a condition of closing but I and others often waive this because the HOA “can’t find them” or won’t send them without a ludicrous copy fee, etc.

As I said, you may not get them… my idiot HOA only gave me some when I bought, and I had a hell of a time getting anything from them as the seller.

We didn’t get the packet hen we moved in. But then again, I don’t know how much that would have changed anything. Meeting minutes on paper are a whole lot different than being there in person. I feel embarrassed for them at how childish and backstabby everyone is.
California Golden Blogs: Ethnic food → pizza and chili → boboli → boobies.
That’s more or less what happened to me, I got what I got, and figured I wanted to buy anyway and it turned out ok.
What you might see in the minutes are things like “OMG foundation cracking/sliding need to hire engineer” or “lawyer said we’ll probably lose at trial on slip-and-fall case, gonna have to assess for that”. And you’d be surprised at what badly-run places put in the minutes, ours had all kinds of unprofessional editorial junior-high type comments in them.

I’m worried that the dysfunctional HOA will prevent my parents from dumping this current condo when they decide to sell. Lesson learned.
In our first house, the busybody next door complained to the HOA about us for every little thing. I repaired a post on the front porch and re-painted it. (damaged by the seller when moving out) Got a letter from HOA threatening a $50 fine/day until I returned the post to “an authorized shade.” Seriously? The new paint on the post ain’t gonna match the faded 10-year paint on the rest of the house even though we took a chip in for color-matching.
Right now, our HOA is gutless and toothless. They have all sorts of rules about street parking and sports equipment – none of them are enforced.
My backyard golf net is probably illegal, but I doubt anyone will raise a fuss. If they do, they’ll have to write up half the neighborhood.

After being one of college baseball’s most compelling stories last season, California (No. 22 Collegiate Baseball) opens the 2012 campaign versus Pacific in a three-game series, with Friday and Sunday’s games at Evans Diamond and Saturday’s contest at Klein Family Field in Stockton. The Cal program, under the direction of 2011 NCBWA National Coach of the Year David Esquer, was slated to be discontinued after 2011 due to budget cuts, but was saved through fundraising efforts and qualified for the College World Series for the first time since 1992 after winning the Houston Regional and sweeping Dallas Baptist (7-0, 6-2) in the Santa Clara Super Regional. Cal, featuring 2011 Pac-10 Player of the Year Tony Renda and the Most Outstanding Player of the 2011 Houston Regional Devon Rodriguez, had to go through the losers’ bracket and win four straight games at the Houston Regional to advance to the Super Regional.

He had done it enough times for them this season, so Monta Ellis’ teammates didn’t have any problem picking him up Monday night.
On a rare night when Ellis didn’t give the Warriors efficient scoring, turn playmaker or make an impact on defense, David Lee and the reserves found a way to knock off Phoenix 102-96 in front of 19,106 fans at Oracle Arena.

I’m a fan. I’ve had them for over 3 years now and other than a blip this summer where it went out every time it rained, they’ve been good.
I too am a believer. Not too many price hikes, and they’ve left us in our cheapo plan that they don’t offer any more.
I still wish that we could just buy the channels we want, and not have 500 shopping channels, but the invisible hand of the market prevents this, apparently.

I really like Comcast’s internet—it’s fast and reasonably reliable.
I have to admit that I’m a DirecTv fan now. They have almost every HD channel I’d watch (still waiting for BBCAmerica, though) and NFL Sunday Ticket is a must for me to watch the Packers every weekend. With that being said, I REALLY REALLY miss the OnDemand offerings from Comcast. DirecTv has it, but if I have to use my precious bandwidth to download shows/movies, it’s not the same.

Is DirecTV still the only 1080p HD provider?

As per CBS:
The other major task is completing distribution agreements. The conference announced deals with cable companies Comcast Corp., Cox, Time Warner Inc. and Bright House when it announced plans to launch the network in July. Those carriers are in about 40 million homes, although the network will only be on a sports tier outside the Pac-12 area.
The conference still needs to negotiate deals with Charter Cable, DirecTV, Dish Network Corp., AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., among other companies. Talks have started but no agreements have been reached as of yet.

Just when it appeared as if the A’s might be among the league’s least compelling teams, at least in the near future, they made a big, big splash – with more ripples likely to come.
Oakland, which spent the winter trading its top three pitchers, unexpectedly snatched prized Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes away from the Marlins and other big spenders Monday, signing the 26-year-old to a four-year, $36 million deal.

Cal Starts Season at Saint Mary’s on Saturday
California begins the Ginger Miles era with a season-opening conference match at Saint Mary’s on Sunday, Feb. 19, at 1 p.m. in Moraga, Calif. Miles, the first-year head coach, governs a young squad that includes 16 underclassmen, eight juniors and four seniors. Those seniors – fifth-year Golden Bear Emily Abbood and Tara Arolla, Tori Harrison and Vail Horn – led the 2011 Bears to a 9-8 record and also comprise Cal’s 2012 team captains.
The match at Saint Mary’s will be the first official lacrosse game played on the Gaels’ new turf field, which is located next to Saint Mary’s Stadium.

In spite of turnovers, missed free throws, defensive breakdowns, and a solid fourth quarter by Dirk Nowitzki, the Clippers were not out of this game until the very end. Down 6, with under two minutes to go, the Clippers beat the high double team that had flustered them all game by flashing Kenyon Martin to the free throw line, who then hit a slashing Blake Griffin for the dunk and a foul, and Blake would convert the free throw. After a stop on the other end, Paul would find Kenyon Martin for a quick layup cutting the lead to one. Dirk would push the lead to three with a 15 footer towards the end of the shot clock. On the ensuing possession, Paul found Kenyon Martin again cutting to the rim, but the play resulted in a crucial no call, with Dirk getting away with a pretty obvious foul. The Clippers then had to foul, and Dirk pushed the lead to 5. Even then, the Clippers found a way to hang around.

Sharks Win 5-3 over Capitals
Pavelski’s four-point night lifts Sharks over Washington
Two goals and two assists by Joe Pavelski on a night when the best power play in the NHL erupted for another three goals, an occurrence that’s become commonplace as of late, along with tallies by Patrick Marleau, Brent Burns and Ryane Clowe gave the Sharks a 5-3 win over the floundering Washington Capitals in a game in which the Caps had a decided territorial advantage but weren’t able to generate a ton of terrific opportunities courtesy of mostly solid defensive positioning by the Sharks. Whether or not spending as much time in their own zone as the Sharks did tonight and still managing to tie their opponent in EV chances is a sustainable feat is a point for debate (a debate that can end here: it’s not) but kudos to the team for being able to generally keep the Caps’ shooters to the outside tonight.
WOOHOOOOO!!!
I forgot there was a game last night.

DRINK DRINK DRINK (PHOTOS HERE, CLICK ON THIS HEADER TO COLLAPSE POST)
Stopped in Yosemite for quick overnighter on Sunday. I am always amazed that there are people in California who have not been to Yosemite. If you haven’t you really need to go. And if you have not been to Yosemite in the winter, do yourself a favor and go. It is simply sublime. And you basically feel like you have the entire park to yourself, there is just no one there. Honestly it is about as close to heaven as you can get.

I haven’t made it up in winter but would love to. I guess they opened 120 up again, I had thought it would be closed off for the season after the landslide.

Which part of 120 are to talking about? the route out of the park to Manteca was open (I took it to 49 then meandered through Gold Country). 120 / Tioga pass is closed for the season.
I wasn’t going to go to Yosemite, but I heard it was going to snow so changed plans. If I didn’t have to be back for meetings today I would have stayed another day… it was just breathtaking… Here is a little video I took.
Yeah, there was a landslide on 120 outside the park a few weeks ago but they must have gotten it fixed up.

Love Yosemite. When I was younger, we’d go every summer for a week and camp in the valley.
I still want to take my kids there when we visit but it’s hard to get reservations now since they cut out a bunch of the campgrounds after flooding.

Whilst at Cal I took a Camping for Credit course where we camped 3 or 4 days, a couple of which were in Yosemite. It was Geology something or other. I very much enjoyed it, but it kinda sucked sleeping with your water so it didn’t freeze, and then waking up in the (very cold) rain.

I don’t like the screen from an angle. Plus my children have a tendency to leave the TV on with the show paused and I think some burn in would happen pretty easily/quickly.
This TV is destined for my living room so it will be a large space with viewing from a lot of different angles. 46" should be big enough for what we want there.

I wasn’t going to do anything, but when I picked up my daughter from school, she guilt-tripped me into buying flowers. Oh well.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
If it’s any consolation, I remembered that my wife had said she would tolerate the annual lack of gift / flowers but a card would be nice… so I bought her a card.
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.

Business Inventories Rose Less Than Sales
[1]
A gain in U.S. business inventories trailed the improvement in sales in December, showing companies may continue to restock shelves and warehouses in early 2012.
The 0.4 percent increase in stockpiles followed a 0.3 percent advance the prior month, Commerce Department data showed today in Washington. The median projection in a Bloomberg News survey called for a 0.5 percent rise. Sales climbed 0.7 percent, the most since July.
Inventory replenishment, which helped the economy grow last quarter at the fastest pace in more than a year, may extend into this year as a pickup in hiring boosts purchases. Another report today showed retail sales rose less than forecast in January, held back by an unexpected drop in demand at auto dealers.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Stores are putting more stuff on shelves because they expect people to buy more.
Stores sold less this past month than what was expected.

The Ultimate Lifesaver
Ambulances Vary Widely in Equipment; Trying to Create an ER on Wheels
A new push is under way to improve the care people get after they call 911, when minutes can make the difference between life and death.
There is plenty of room for improvement: Survival rates among sudden-cardiac-arrest patients, for example, vary widely among different regions in the country. One problem: Medical advances that save lives in hospitals and on the battlefields are often slow to become available to civilian emergency responders.
Emergency medical systems and ambulance companies are driving the efforts to change. A growing number of communities are training their 911 call centers to instruct bystanders by telephone in the best way to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, which has been shown to increase a patient’s chance of surviving. Some emergency responders are equipping ambulances with new technologies like digital transmission systems to beam electrocardiograms to hospitals and quick-clotting bandages, developed for troops fighting in Iraq, to stop bleeding faster. Paramedics—the most skilled providers of pre-hospital emergency care—also are being trained to chill cardiac-arrest patients after resuscitating them, as is often done in hospitals; the procedure has been shown to increase patients’ chances of surviving without brain damage.

There are people who give five minutes speeches on bottled water.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
How to conduct a water tasting
There are about 3,000 brands of bottled water world wide and a tasting provides the best introduction to the surprising richness of epicurean experiences with water.
Here are directions for conducting your own. I recommend that, at the beginning, it not be conducted blind: A water tasting should be fun more of an introduction to the differences in bottled waters than a hardcore blind tasting, which can be intimidating.
As the host, you should provide information on all the waters and let people enjoy the tactile experience of handling the bottle.
Here are a few guidelines:
Buy as many waters as possible from each of the five FineWaters Balance categories:
•Still
•Effervescent
•Light
•Classic
•Bold
One bottle is enough for six to eight people. You should have at least five waters 10 is a better number (one to two in each category). Within each of the categories, try to find waters with different TDS levels (amount of minerals in the water), sources (spring water or rainwater), or countries or regions of origin. Chill all the waters to about 55 degrees Fahrenheit to nicely showcase the differences in the waters. Make sure they stay at the same temperature throughout the tasting otherwise their qualities (or the perception of them) will change. You will need one proper water glasses per person.
If you don’t have water glasses with a stem use white wine glasses. Start with still and work your way through the levels up to bold. You can swallow, but have a bucket ready for emptying glasses. Serve bread or crackers, but not salty food. Make notes if you wish, describing how the water feels (short, long, focused, wide, and so forth).
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Please don’t actually conduct a water tasting session. It’s a little silly. Also, proof that a five minute marketing pitch is more effective than anything else.

When I was in college, I really wanted to throw a kegger for freshmen… and serve non-alcohlic beer. Just as a social experiment.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
non-alcoholic beer does contain a small amount of booze. with freshmen it might be enough to have the same effect as a regular keg with more experienced livers.

Non-alcohlic beer is supposed to be, at most. 0.05% abv.
You’d have to have 84 servings of that to equal one serving of Bud Light.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
0.5%, not 0.05%. So it would be 8 servings, and given a “kegger” and extremely low tolerances, this isn’t out of the question.

I was just curious because of all the things to have a handy picture of, a bathtub in a random hotel room is pretty high on the list of things I wouldn’t expect anyone to have handy.
I actually wish I had more pictures. Neither the wife or I are particularly camera crazy so most of our pics from the past 15 years are “kids at the zoo!”, “look, we’re on vacation!” or “concert that LMFS and Mrs FS went too and got into the front row!”. It took months of badgering by Scootinez and Sincey to get me to paste a picture into my faceypages.

you are correct, it is a pretty random thing to have a photo of… and i was just there…;-) It’s like the stupid Glory Hole sign… I saw that driving yesterday and then decided to turn around and take a picture of it. Like the shot of the road leading into Yosemite… It was just so stunning to me I wanted to capture it… could be stupid things, like the UCLA banner on the LA Sports Arena or the homeless guy in the Texas hat Atoms and I saw coming back from the Holiday Bowl… I’m just weird (you already knew that)
no worries but if you post a pic of the underside of a sink or an empty broom closet I’ll know you have problems.

Keeps the chicken from drying out, maybe?
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 does make the chicken really moist.
Probably a push versus just brining and deep frying.
But on a weeknight, it saves time. Kind of nice being able to vacuum-seal the chicken at lunch or in the am, chuck it in the sous vide machine, and then just quickly batter/fry for a couple of minutes per side for dinner.

it’s a private deck. That sign you see is because each suite has a hot tub on the deck (you can see to the left), so I am guessing they are legally required to post such warning.

Trolled by grenade
JERUSALEM — Israel on Tuesday ratcheted up its accusations that Iran is waging an international campaign of terror, after a bizarre series of explosions in Bangkok during which an Iranian man armed with grenades apparently blew off his own legs.
Tuesday’s explosions in Thailand began with a series of blasts inside a residence in Bangkok. According to wire service and local news accounts, an Iranian man whose passport identified him as Saeid Moradi was wounded when a stash of explosives apparently detonated by accident inside his house.
A bleeding Moradi left the residence, as did two other foreign men who did not appear to be hurt, wire reports said. Moradi then allegedly threw a grenade at a taxi cab that refused to stop for him, badly damaging the vehicle, and hurled another at police when they approached. The second grenade exploded before it reached the officers, blowing off Moradi’s legs, according to Thai news and wire service reports .

Across the bay lies Cal, where Lin desperately wanted to play. But Bears coach Ben Braun was Lindifferent. He passed.
“But hey, I passed on Steve Nash, too,” concedes Braun, now the coach at Rice. “We just didn’t extend Jeremy a scholarship. I love the kid, but we just didn’t. … I don’t feel too bad. At least I’m not the only one.”
So… is it actually possible that Lin could have Nash-like upside?

We had a Weimeraner puppy when LMFS was about 3. Just a beautiful dog but much too rambunctious for a small child to be around plus he needed a ton of exercise. He would also routinely jump over our fence and we’d find him sitting on the front porch every day so we ended up selling him to another family who had a slightly older female.
Gorgeous pup though…BAXTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

LMFS had scratches all over her body after just a few days and got scared of him because he would be excited to see her, run over and put his paws on her to lick her face. Paws= scratches though…
Anyway, too bad, he was a sweet boy. Glad we found a good home for him.

Colombia priests ‘hired own killers’ in suicide pact
Two Colombian priests who were found shot dead in the capital Bogota a year ago themselves hired the assassins who killed them, prosecutors say.
They said the priests had agreed a suicide pact after one of them was diagnosed with Aids, but contracted hitmen because they could not bring themselves to carry it out.
Los Angeles is officially BEAR TERRITORY.
They couldn’t have jumped in front of a train? Started a fire fight with the police? Crossed a drug kingpin?

At least they supported the local economy by hiring an independant contractor…..
Too soon?

Do you suppose they heard confessions from the killers in advance and absolved them?

A Manchester United fan aims to block rival Manchester City’s “goals of football domination” by selling off thousands of parcels of a site earmarked by the world’s richest club for a 100-million-pound ($158 million) training complex.
Businessman Shaun O’Brien has divided the land at his vehicle recovery company, OB Trucks, near City’s Etihad Stadium, into 18,500 square-foot plots for sale in a bid to disrupt a proposed council order to make him sell it.
He was selling the plots for 250 pounds each through website, Unite Against the City, to “ardent Reds and anybody else that feels strongly about our David & Goliath situation,” in order to make the club negotiate individually and fairly for each plot, the website said.

ACL/Meniscus is usually arthoscopic. Dr. Gayle was absolutely awesome. Nice man. Straight shooter. Gentle. Conservative. And incredibly skilled. I had a four hour surgery and didn’t need pain meds after the 2nd night. Hip is recovering much faster than projected.

NP. Like I said, send me an email if none of these doctors work out for your GF and I’ll ask around.
I hope she feels better soon.
Since the injury just happened, ice and advil are her friend. Ice 20 min on/20 min off as much as possible for the 1st three days. (swelling worsens within the first 72 hours) Minimizing swelling will keep her more comfortable.
Advil isn’t just pain control, but an anti-inflammatory. Depending on body weight, take the full adult dose 3-4x per day for at least the first three days. Take it with food if it upsets the stomach.
Some type of gentle compression (like an ACE bandage) could also help provide support. Most insurances won’t let you go directly to the orthopedic surgeon – she’ll need to see her primary care physician asap for x-rays, MRI, and referral to orthopedics.
Old Toothwrangler
actually… she tore it 2.5 months ago. thought it was a sprain (and X-rays appeared to lean that way) so she has been doing PT/rehab for 1.5 months. finally got an MRI when there was no improvement and it showed a torn meniscus and basically no ACL.
She has a preliminary appt on March 5th, I’ve been trying to find other (recommended) doctors to see if she can move the timetable up.
Thanks for all the thoughtful responses.

Probably not. My experience with SEO (search engine optimization) was reading a 50 page PDF and trying to make me show up as the #1 me on Google on a sick day. I managed to accomplish this for a week or so.
But from what I recall, if you want to do this legitimately, here are a few quick pointers (based on what I recall):
- Keywords in the meta tags that are somewhat unique for the niche your trying to hit. Additionally, a few general keywords might help too, but don’t get crazy. Also, make sure all your keywords are relevant, “spamming” the metatags can be considered black hat)
-Links: cross-links to relevant, “popular” websites are useful. For example, I linked my facebook page to my linkedin page, and both to my Twitter page and vice versa. The more “interlinking” going on, (and those are 3 popular pages) the more likely you’re gonna show up as a relevant result.

Pac-12 Top 25 for 2011: No. 20
By Kevin Gemmell
Our countdown of the Pac-12’s top-25 players continues.
You can see Ted Miller’s preseason top 25 here.
20. Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
2011 numbers: Totaled 7.5 sacks on the year to go with 13 tackles for a loss and 42 total tackles.
Preseason ranking: Unranked
Making the case for Jordan: Having to replace six starters on defense from the 2010 squad, Oregon was solid on defense in 2011 — and Jordan had a lot to do with it. Now two full seasons removed from his switch from tight end to defensive end, Jordan came on very strong in the second half of the year — notching six of his sacks in the final seven games of the season. The First-Team All-Pac-12 defensive end tied for fifth in the conference in tackles for a loss, while leading the Ducks in TFLs and in sacks.
21. John White IV, RB, Utah
22. Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
23. Nickell Robey, CB, USC
24. Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
25. David Paulson, TE, Oregon

We’re just trying to gauge CGB ages by what they find attractive. Or, if not age ranges, then at least flush out the ones who like small dickless bears…

Haven’t seen much of Happy Endings, but I think Community is one of the best shows on TV right now, if not the best.
Considering it’s on some whackass NBC hiatus, you should give Happy Endings more of a shot!
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Its probably because I also find Elisha Cuthbert to be such as a cutie and Eliza Coupe to be such a hottie.
I didn’t like Elisha’s character as much at first, but over the last 4 episodes, I’ve been laughing my ass off at her lines
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
What is Happy Endings about and is it on the internet somewhere?

Happy Endings is about Eliza Coupe (Girl from Scrubs Season 8) and Damon Wayans Jr. marrying and having a bunch of funny friends. Oh, and Elisha Cuthbert is the runaway bride and Eliza Coupe’s younger sister. They have a gay bear friend and a girl who is eternally searching for love.
And they’re also best friends with the groom who was runaway on. But he’s not that important.

Elisha Cuthbert is enough for me to give it a shot.
I was flipping through the channels one Saturday morning back when I was was like 18, when she was a teenager hosting the show Popular Mechanics for Kids (I’m only a year and a half older than her, so it’s not creepy!) and thought to myself, “Damn, that girl’s got some serious potential”, and then like a couple years later she was on 24 and she was smokin’ hot.

I also love The Walking Dead. It’s so much more than just zombies!
House of Lies has also been added to my MUST WATCH list
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
I haven’t been watcing Walking Dead even though it looked awesome during ComicCon. Hard to watch when GF is scared of anything scary :(
WIll have to watch it at midnight along with my other special shows :(
The Walking Dead is telling human stories in a fantasy world!
House of Lies has been interesting! I’ve been keeping up, and not just because of Ben Schwartz and Kristen Bell.

I liked Traffic Light. It was too bad it wasn’t picked up. Then we get these crappy shows that last like 2 episodes and then they’re cancelled.

Breakout Kings also starts this Sunday I think. Sort of like Leverage, which also is a great show.
Jorge Gutierrez is "The guy with the hair plays with the flair"
Really? It’s a fun show.
I dropped leverage a while back. Maybe I should pick it up again at some point…
I like Leverage because for the most part, the shows are self contained and not very high on the “need to think about this” scale. And I love Parker.
Yeah, it’s one show where I don’t mind knowing that the good guys will always win and don’t have to worry about convoluted/shocking plot twists. The show-runner also has a very insightful blog where he answers reader questions. Finally, competence porn is cool and the bad guys are very real (somewhat unfortunately) and nice to see getting taken down a few notches.

First phone interview of the job search today...
Spoke with VP of recruiting for large PR firm as online info pointed to my preferred new area of focus. The place is like <1mi. from my house and the conversation went really well interview wise (she is speaking with the LA communications guy to see if he is interested in me). Unfortunately though she broke the news that the new availability is actually going to be tech focused (which is what I left) for awhile and my first client would be a certain service provider that I have quite a distaste for. Although there are some pros (proximity, familiarity, chance for future opps in preferred industry), I think this would result in a pay cut for doing the same job I had before (just in LA)… We’ll see what the local guy says, but I think the search will continue. (Anyone got a sports marketing connection in LA???)

Let's hope they can prevent incidents like this
Oxford Hills football coach resigns over nude Facebook photo
OXFORD — Oxford Hills high school varsity football coach Paul Withee said Monday he was embarrassed and humiliated by a mistake he said has probably cost him his career.
Withee resigned Monday morning after school officials received a complaint from a parent that he posted a nude picture of himself on Facebook.
"I’m embarrassed, I’m ashamed, I’m humiliated," Withee said Monday. He said the picture was on the social media page for no more than a half-hour when he discovered what had happened and tried to correct it.
"I’ve never done anything like this before and I never will again," he said.
"You have to be careful with what you do with social media. You can get yourself into a lot of trouble and something you love can be taken away from you just like this," he said.
