There’s different types of flour, depending on what you are using it for. I was watching food network one day and heard them mention this. I think it has to do with the amount of gluten in the flour.
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:14 AM

I have not been commenting here long enough to have any sort of credibility, but a foul word has never been said by me about JLH. About her looks I should say, because I think its pretty clear that she is insane.
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:48 AM
She looks doable. But what do I know?
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:48 AM
I am no Brad Clooney or ATL, JLH has been a personal fave of mine for almost 15 years.

Yeah, her love life hasnt been exactly stable.. I also get the feeling she’s a wack job.
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:49 AM
That picture of JLH almost (ALMOST!) entirely makes up for the Bob Knight debacle. Kudos to you for not running a Getty Image of a hot chick chosen at random.

March 23rd, 2012 at 8:59 AM
no outrage for the writer who “made herself the story” by inserting that question from Drake? Isn’t that what you guys hate?
All anyone will remember from the profile: DRAKE ASKED HER ABOUT SLEEPING TOGETHER! He might have been joking, but he still asked!
She made herself the story, I’m sure you guys hate it.

You’ve drastically overplayed your hand on this one, J. We know who you are, I have no idea who or what a Drake is. I’ll go R&B musician of some sort, but that’s only because of the unique, single name.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:05 AM
//if you can dish it, you better be able to take it
part of the problem in that scenario, is that while we can collectively dish it, and most likely take it, you really can’t dish it back. All you can do is say people have changed, block guys who make you look silly on twitter, or ask an open room who the worst person here is, and then fade away when you don’t get the answer you wished for.
Or appoint a deputy who you hope hates the guy you want gone.

is that the only reason you posted that article? because the comparison isn’t really that close. she mentioned something at the end of the article, almost a footnote to the actual story. also, she was likely invited into his house, not given his address and just showed up unannounced.

I was home sick the last two days and flipped through some episodes of ‘The Ghost Whisperer’, a show I never saw before. While the show very ‘eh’ to me, JLH’s nonstop cleavage was outstanding.

I’m really not sure who to believe in that Drake article. He talks about how he’s tired of just banging out all these random girls and then he’s going to ask to bang Claire out at the end of the article?

Unreal. The difference between a profile and what you attempted to do is pretty obvious. Her anecdote about him hitting on her adds color to who he is and what he’s really like. In other words, it makes the profile even better.

I absolutely despise that zone defense.
you aren’t mad at Wisconsin for having a couple of big stiffs that their guards knew better than to throw the ball to? Guys, who, when faced with a ten foot catch and shoot, knew they were going to fumble the ball out of bounds, or miss the shot, or something, so they just put their hands up too, so it looked like a 2-4 zone?
If I hadn’t watched some of Michigan State, I would continue bitching about that awful Syracuse/Wisconsin game.
And I’m completely against the 1 and 1.

Still can’t believe either Louisville or Florida is going to be in the Final Four. Meaning, Kentucky, if they get there, will either have to play Florida for a FOURTH time in the year (has that ever happened before?) or once again play Rick Pitino and Louisville.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Wisconsin should have lost that game by 20. They played terribly overall but got lucky from 3.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:31 AM
I’m pretty sure I was a first alternate for one of these back in aught eight. my how times have changes.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:31 AM

I have a friend (one who doesn’t call me, and doesn’t like it when I call him, and we never hang out) who dabbles in beekeeping. He’s not very good at it.

You mean the team that needed a ton of assistance from the stripes to beat a 16 seed? Or the team that beat KState, who was minus their best player (on 24 hours notice). Or the team that let Team Buzzcut come within a sliver of knocking them out in the Sweet 16?
Sure. Great job.

it’s a 19 footer. It’s crazy. It’s no wonder there’s so many of them. There’s a couple of NBA players who can shoot 60 percent from 19 feet while being closely guarded by a bigger, faster, stronger guy.
And it’s always jack city.
The shot clock doesn’t bother me as much as the foul shooting alignment, and the ridiculous 1 and 1.

March 23rd, 2012 at 9:36 AM
what determines the failure? they all fly away to build a hive somewhere else? He gets stung repeatedly but never takes the hint the bees don’t want him around?
Expert opinions from Ben on this?
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:37 AM
What’s the reasoning behind abolishing the one and one?
It only lasts for 4 turns now, because they know it’s bullshit. But it encourages the team who is losing to “lengthen” games by hacking at bad foul shooters, which in turn encourages college coaches to run guys in and out, which in turn encourages refs to stop play to let those guys run in and out.
After 7, two shots per turn. No big deal.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:37 AM
I’m guessing that’s happened a bunch of times. If memory serves, Providence played Georgetown for a fourth time when they beat them in the elite 8 to get to the ’87 Final Four.

How awful is basketball becoming where both teams shoot the lights out, Boeheim essentially states that Syracuse played as well as they possible could, and the final score barely cracks 60.
We have a local HS that plays the same way and is making their 2nd consecutive appearance in the state finals this weekend. Earlier this week the halftime score of their State Semifinal game was 10-4.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 AM
My buddy just went to a beekeeping class last week…he said there were 19 people in the class. I guess it’s a new fad.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 AM
The first ten minutes or so they were dominating the 2-3. And then the quick passes and hitting the guy at the free throw line turned into shoot from 3 whenever you could.
I thought the game was entertaining though.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Shit. At least shit starts before 10:15 in your neck of the woods. I’m going to have to put on a pot of coffee just to get through the Kentucky game tonight.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Wisconsin’s final possession was one giant clusterfuck. Little surprised Bo Ryan didn’t use his timeout when after 14 seconds his players still had not gotten the ball inside the 3 point line in a 1 point game. The shot that Taylor or whoever it was took was just awful.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 AM

this morning, some fucking asshole came into my bedroom at 5.50 to inform me it was daytime. Because his doing that made it true.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:41 AM
I disagree.
Reference 1971
Maryland defeats No. 2 South Carolina, 31-30, in one of the great “slow-down” games in history. Leading only 4-3 at halftime, Maryland needed a lay-up from Jim O’Brien to tie the game with five seconds to go in regulation and an 11-foot jumper from O’Brien to win the game with four seconds remaining in OT.
No joke – the MD guards held the ball, often on their hip, between the top of the key and half court while SC remained in their 2-1-2 zone. There was essentially no action at all in the first half.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:41 AM
8 and I’d agree
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:42 AM
I’d be OK with this – maybe raise the foul total to 8 before shooting, but I agree with the concept.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Michigan State was awful. They never deserved to be a 1 seed, struggled with St. Louis before getting embarrassed by a offensively challenged Louisville squad. 44 points for a top seed in the Sweet 16? Good lord.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Neither of those teams will ever be relevant in basketball again though so I don’t see the problem.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:43 AM

March 23rd, 2012 at 9:43 AM
For those wondering, as of late 2009 there were only 81 restaurants in the world that have received 3 MIchelin stars, and this cat has two of them. Damn.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:43 AM
I hate change, but upon thinking about it, I think that I agree with you. I just did some calculations and a 75% FT shooter’s expectation is something like 1.3 points when fouled in a one and one, but it goes down quite rapidly with lower FT%’s.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:44 AM

Wisconsin’s final possession was one giant clusterfuck. Little surprised Bo Ryan didn’t use his timeout when after 14 seconds his players still had not gotten the ball inside the 3 point line in a 1 point game.
He said always saves a TO for an in-bounds play and he had already calle the set they were supposed to run. Bo calling a TO wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Would have been the same crap, they were the same team all year, they don’t have any playmakers other than taylor.
Not sure how anyone couldn’t find that game entertaining. It was a CBB game where they were actually making shots. Both teams played about as well as they could have. The Michigan State game and the second half of that marquette game were awful. I’ll be the first to admit that usually watching UW play basketball is awful, but you’re just hating if you didn’t like that game.

The best change basketball could make – change it from 5 on 5 to 4 on 4. The bodies are so much bigger now, it’s the best change that could be made.
I find myself watching less and less basketball as time goes by, to the point that I’ll watch less than 1 total hour of NBA and likely less than 5 total hours of NCAA. My two boys don’t watch it either.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:47 AM

March 23rd, 2012 at 9:52 AM
HS and no shot clock. Some of the private schools (before recruiting) around here would do that to the city schools. Hold the ball and play four corners. SCores would end up 12-10, 16-12.

It doesn’t change the crowd in the lane.
sure it does. The court is half again as wide, half again as long, the lane is similarly lengthened and widened, and the rim is at 11 feet. There’s no reason for all those dudes to be hanging out that far under the basket if they can’t tip the ball in anymore.
There would be far less alley oops, too. And the white man could finally find a place in basketball again.

I wonder if Syracuse has more success than average in those last shot scenarios due to the zone defense? It’s not as easy to just run a guy off a double screen or something to set up a shot, and it seems like their opponents wait too long to initiate their offense (in general) in these situations.

is your whole reasoning to moving the 3-point line back trying to reduce the amount shot? with the way a lot of college teams run offense I don’t know if they would shoot less 3-pointers, just miss more. I guess it could change offensive philosophy and open up the lane, but college teams love to live and die by the 3 these days.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:01 AM
bingo. I think it was rob wilson… but he had no idea what do against the zone (should have penetrated)
He absolutely should have done that, but they had only 10 points in the paint all night. I don’t know if I attribute that to Syracuse’s interior ‘D’ or Wisconsin’s unwillingness to penetrate.

If I’m ever unfortunate enough to have a child I am allowing you guys to raise it. Like the Jungle Book.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:02 AM
This is every last second possession. Guys wait till 7 seconds are left and then wonder why they get a poor shot. Annoys the fuck out of me.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:02 AM
I’m sure you all love your kids, but I doubt anyone with kids is going to say that they hate kids, even if they do. Regardless about how you feel about them, none of us really care.
Now… as for cereal Kellogs came out with a cereal called crunchy nut… fantastic… although it’s a bit rough on the roof of you mouth.

I love kicking it with my youngest nephew because he’s just like me. He also beats the ever loving shit out of his older brother and laughs like a bastard, just kills me. But I like returning them at the end of the day. Not for me, but luckily I don’t have any grandchildren pressure.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:03 AM
He absolutely should have done that, but they had only 10 points in the paint all night. I don’t know if I attribute that to Syracuse’s interior ‘D’ or Wisconsin’s unwillingness to penetrate.
seemed like WI had a few possessions where they made the right cuts and had success against the zone, but then syracuse switched up the look a little and the badgers were completely flummoxed and looked completely inept.

My brother and his wife need to hurry the fuck up.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Wouldn’t change the world for having kids. One minute, you’re yelling at him for whacking his sister in the back of the head, next minute he’s asking you if you can help him with his homework, then he’s asking you to shoot hoops in the driveway, and then he closes it by apologizing to his sister and saying thanks for playing ball.

Unreal. The French Laundry has a 9-course tasting menu that changes every day and they never use the same ingredient two days in a row. So you would never see a carrot on the menu if you saw it the say before. Crazy.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:05 AM
but I’m getting a babysitter to come here while I’m here.
go on…
it should be really safe. She’s a 7th grader, a nearby neighbor, she’s bringing her little brother, and her dad is an investigator with the state police.
I just want to be able to handle one kid at a time, maximum.

I higher rim brings makes shots more difficult and therefore brings everyone closer in.
No matter how big the court is or how high the rim is, there’s a limited amount of working space in the critical area – within 12 ft of the rim. 40 years ago, with average heights and weights at about 6′ 3″ and 180 (guessing here – where’s Lisk when you need him) compared to 6′ 6′ and 215 (guessing again here), you’ve added the equivalent of a whole person to the mix.
I just think it would be more interesting with one less body to open things up. The association’s union would never stand for this – essentially putting 40 of their millionaires out of work.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:06 AM
they need to find a way to make Rice Krispy Treats cereal soak up some damn milk and not be so crunchy they rip the roof of your mouth open or feel like they are cracking your teeth.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:06 AM

most of the “us” that come here have kids. So we’re talking about a shared experience.
You’re the lick. You’re the wad.

I bet only 4 people cared to talk about Atlanta traffic yesterday but that didn’t stop you.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Most I’ve ever spent on dinner for two was on my honeymoon at Merriman’s. Best $350 I’ve ever dropped for a meal. I think I heard that Keller or someone who works with Keller is going to become the new GM at Le Bec Fin in Philly as Perrier is retiring. I really hope they can get Le Bec Fin back to what it was in its prime.

March 23rd, 2012 at 10:08 AM

March 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 AM
30 minutes? You must be terrible.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 AM
My kid is 18 months old, and since the adoption is not final (he’s a CPS kid), we’re actually not allowed to have a babysitter unless they’ve gone through training. So we have basically not had a free night for over a year. Still, wouldn’t trade it for the world.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 AM

i’m devastated.

Nothings as bad as Captn Crunch. Like eating delicious shards of glass.

Oh yeah I’m going to take a woman’s opinion on handjobs. That’s like taking a woman’s opinion on driving.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:10 AM
ATL doesn’t give a fuck and would like you to STFU about your damn kids.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:11 AM
The problem with the Cap’n is it gtes soggy in the span of 5 seconds. It goes from crispy to mush too fast.

pretty much. also, funny coming from the guy who thinks anything he doesn’t like (baseball, etc.) sucks balls and will tell us all incessantly.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Oh so when you insert yourself into the comments it’s okay.
He made himself the comment, I’m sure you guys hate it.

March 23rd, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Kids rock. There really is no way to prepare yourself for how much of your time and energy they absorb, but what people always seem to forget is that you’re not just handed a whiny two year old on day one. Even though babies keep shitty schedules, they actually sleep a hell of a lot and there’s no question the first year or so taxes the mom much more than the dad (maybe not if you’re formula feeding). Having a two or three year old is more exhausting overall because they’re mobile and you have to chase them around.
But I have two boys, ages 5 and 3, and we’re gradually starting to get our lives back. They’re simultaneously best friends and bitter rivals, very similar yet very different. Wouldn’t trade it for anything, although I think people that have more than three are certifiably insane.

March 23rd, 2012 at 10:15 AM
I may have the age gap championship as well. Kids range from 22 to 4.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 AM
I think you become 20% stupider with each child you have. That’s why I think we’re stopping at 2.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Just baseball, really. And that’s because it’s a terrible waste of time.
I was totally expecting this to be about Greg Oden’s knee falling off or something.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 AM
I’m pretty comfortable staying in here on this fine Friday if that’s cool with everyone else. DeMarcus Cousins dribbling ability doesn’t catch my eye. You guys are having fun talking about your kids. Who wants to talk a little baseball?
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Holy shit. Same wife?
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Most of us plebes don’t have a direct choice of kids or billion dollars. I’m jealous.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:18 AM
It’s more of an option than a choice.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:18 AM
At least you like Chipper Jones. If you had shat on Chipper I probably would have come down and pissed in your mailbox.
But for real… baseball. Ichiro in pink glasses and a fedora anyone?
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Nah. First from a previous regime, middle two (14,12) with current wife, and then we adopted.
/Damn I’m old
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:19 AM
We’ve been having the discussion for a solid year now about a third. I think we both like the idea of having three kids but are pretty lukewarm about doing the baby thing over again. (Or more specifically, the first three or four months of the baby thing over again.)
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:20 AM
I got even more sad last night listening to Francona talk about Pedroia and Pedroia talk about Francona. And I fucking hate our ownership and the Boston fucking media for how hurt Francona sounded last night. Assholes.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:21 AM
welp, I guess I’m out.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:21 AM
Well good on you if it makes you happy. And that’s the bottom line, isn’t it?
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:21 AM

Have my other draft tomorrow…can’t wait. Of course the Phils decide to keep screwing up and sent Dom Brown down to AAA. RAJ needs to be shitcanned before he turns the Phils into the Astros.

Looking forward to Tito on broadcasts. I think you’re going to want to choke Bobby V by the end of May.

Just remembered my fantasy draft is at 1 today. Fuck yeah.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:24 AM
And I fucking hate our ownership
the one that brought you two titles?
and the Boston fucking media
well, you’re on point with that one.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Adding additional children to the mix doesn’t really sound like it’s going to work in your favor…
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:27 AM
Valentine trolled Girardi hard with that suicide squeeze yesterday, and Girardi said “fine fuck you” and refused to play extra innings. Gonna be a fun season…

it would be a lot more fun for me if Kyle g-damn Lohse wasn’t the opening day starter for the Cards.

With Joba going down, let’s see if Cashman dials up Mike Mussina to join Andy Pettitte.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:30 AM
I’m glad that I didn’t draft or won’t draft Carpenter in my leagues. His neck injury isn’t sounding good. However, I’m quite glad that Wainwright will be back and he’s looking good.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 AM
Our third kid is the best and has been since birth.
Low maintenance.
Long sleeper.
Potty trained early.
Self prepared breakfast early.
Dressed himself early (not always matching, but …)
Learned to study by himself.
Scored a TD earlier than his big brother.
Hit a HR earlier than his brother.

BTW, thanks to work I completely missed all things TBL yesterday. But let me chip in on Chipper: HOF, yes. Same for Murphy.
/ “All Things TBL” would be a great name for a Gossip Girl-style soap opera

If it’s got tits or tires, you’re going to have problems with it.
My last woman dumped me, and my car’s been in the shop since Monday morning. Yep, I can vouch for this.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:44 AM
yeah from the little I have read they said Wainwright is all good. I’m still a little nervous, at least to start the year, but it would be nice if he came back busting balls like 2 years ago.
