Sophia Bush … you need to see Paula Patton in GQ … “Year-long D.C. undercover sting netted arrests, guns, drugs” … this man got a year in jail for uploading X-Men to the internet before it was released in theaters … the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor sounds wicked awesome … “Ohio Shooting Of Girl In Amish Buggy A Homicide” … not a bad dunk by Michigan State’s Branden Dawson … so Punk’d is coming back to MTV … “The 25 Most Beautiful College Libraries in the World” … that’s a helluva mugshot … for Raiders of the Lost Ark Fans … “Bankers Join Billionaires to Debunk ‘Imbecile’ Attack on Top 1%” …

If successful businesspeople don’t go public to share their stories and talk about their troubles, “they deserve what they’re going to get,” said Marcus, 82, a founding member of Job Creators Alliance, a Dallas-based nonprofit that develops talking points and op-ed pieces aimed at “shaping the national agenda,” according to the group’s website.
Fair enough. Make yourself heard if you want.
“Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus said. “Are you kidding me?”

I think Ryan Lindley (SDSU) is the sleeper QB selection. If he doesn’t get picked in the early first round, he’s your guy. Snaps off passes like Rodgers, although I’m not sure he’s proven he can read a complex defense.

I will give you this paragraph from “The Quotable Hitchens”:
Oppositionism – which combines skepticism with a compulsion to argue – is not contrarianism, which is a style more than a discipline. Its style is the anti-style, its principles are situational and transitory, and its adherents are as boring and imitative as any herd of dependent minds. The lingua franca of nonconformity, like the obsessively ironic costumes of Brooklyn hipsters, gets stale very quickly and, in the end, if not sooner, it is self-negating.

Is the crane in that Huskie Stadium roof video supposed to jerk and sway as violently as it does around 42 seconds? Looked like it wanted to topple over. I’m assuming those things are built in a way that allows them to sway or whatever, but that brought back memories of Big Blue toppling over.

Well you are comparing facilities that serve different purposes. The physical academic research library has been undergoing a major philosophical and resource allocation change for years, but the digital library is more important than ever. The physical library is becoming more about collaboration facilities and digital training/support, while maintaining a smaller amount of hardcopy resources. But it still stands as the center of a great university, in spirit and location.

Besides styling the Canadian Tuxedo proudly for multiple decades, Bryan Adams made a lot of good accessible music.

I gave Ryan Adams a real shot. In my opinion his best stuff was with the Cardinals so I came away thinking they brought out the best in him, as left to his own devices he seems a bit aimless. He is still somewhat young and does have talent, so maybe he has a monster album in him.

3 people died. Delayed the stadium opening by a whole year. Clusterfuck indeed. If I recall correctly, they were doing that lift on a day when winds were gusting up to 25-30mph… which seems ill-advised.

you do not want a crane jerking/swaying like that. they’re built to deflect because of varying and unexpected conditions, but as soon as I saw that one lurch on the video, I knew somebody just shit their pants…probably multiple somebodies.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Ken Shamrock. Legend.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:35 AM
yes. The primary crane operator walked off the job that morning. He refused to work in the dangerous conditions (which was his perfectly legal right). It was another guy operating that machine and well, we see what happened.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:35 AM
Seattle had a crane collapse not too long ago. I think in Bellevue. Crane collapsed and fell into a high rise condominium killing one of Microsofts Lawyers. Talk about a fuck up.

Totally, but he did it on Twitter. Dude is a MASSIVE homer.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:35 AM
depending on the operator you ask, you cant make a lift with 20mph sustained winds. Im no operator but we use cranes for 90 percent of our work. I have also heard 30mph. There is an OSHA standard but I dont know what it is.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:35 AM

Per yesterday’s Dark Knight thread, I busted out a DVD. Opening lines:
Nine ball is rotational pool – the balls are pocketed in number order. The only ball that means anything – that wins it – is the nine. Now the player can shoot eight trick shots in a row and blow the nine and lose. On the other hand – the player can get the nine in on the break if the balls spread right, and win. Which is to say that luck plays a part in Nine-ball. But for some players, luck itself is an art.

all of this. I know a lot of people give Mike Holmes crap for going above and beyond when his crew fix up the houses in Canada but I’d rather work for a company that exceeds code than one that skirts by doing the minimum and putting people in danger.

No, 10,000. My point was that Its hard for me to remember OSHA when all of our standards exceed them. I think your normal critical lift is 15-20,000 lbs and ours is 10,000. I think the OSHA standard for wind is 30 but our is 20mph sustained winds

Hawks trotted to the penalty box way too much in the first 40 minutes. Can’t give a team as good as Pittsburgh that many chances on the man advantage in their own barn. Credit to the Pens for taking advantage of them. I appreciate the Hawks not rolling over in the 3rd period and making a game of it. That Kane to Hossa to Kane to Stalberg goal was one of the best three man weaves you’ll ever see.
Hopefully Engelland gets a view from the Consol press box for the next two games. That non-call on his hit with Kruger in the first period changed the game. Scott beat the living fuck out of him but got the instigator penalty that caused the game to change. Pittsburgh scores a PP goal and goes on to control the next 35 minutes of the game.
Really want a 7 game finals series between those two teams. It’d be high quality hockey for the Cup.
