Roundup: High Schoolers Hate Swimming Against Missy Franklin, Scott Boras Runs the Nationals & Car Nearly Destroyed by 18-Wheeler in Vegas
Emma Rigby, who is British … woman gored by rhino moments after this picture … here are some photos of Megan Fox in the new Esquire … noted heckler beats speeding ticket in court in impressive fashion … because you love the show Girls so much … “70 years ago Tuesday, Strom Thurmond’s mistress was put to death” … “X-Men to Relaunch as All-Female Superhero Team” … this is being called a twitter “trend” … monthly reminder that HOAs suck … the most popular Washington Wizards dancer … what is the tastiest town in the South? … if your favorite team beats Duke, chances are, they’ll be storming the floor …
In the middle of the night, the Bears hired Marc Trestman to be their new coach. He spent the last eight years in the CFL and at NC State. We’ll have more later, but GM Phil Emery seems to be willing to stake his future in the NFL in this boom/bust hire. [Tribune]

It sucks to be a high schooler swimming against Missy Franklin, the Olympic champ.
Read this yesterday. I expect kids to be whiny jerks, but the opposing coach was a whiny jerk too. Your job in high school is to teach these kids. Its a good thing for them to get their ass kicked every once in a while. Builds character.
January 16th, 2013 at 8:54 AM

The Washington Nationals have added another Scott Boras client – reliever Rafael Soriano, 2 years, $28 million.
Is this worth a first round pick? I guess they’re all in for the next couple of years.
January 16th, 2013 at 8:56 AM
That line about the emojis was actually pretty funny.
So high school swimmers don’t enjoy competing against a superhuman Olympic gold medalist? Huh.

Interesting idea. Storm and Psylocke are no-brainers. If the series last long enough, you just know Jean Grey will return. Again.
Scott Boras Runs the Nationals
I don’t care if Linus & Lucy run the Nationals, as long as this team gets a World Series title. Maybe this year is the year.
Soriano was a good signing. LaRoche re-signing was a boost. Still need LHP help in the ‘pen.

Same comments apply here relative to the Missy Franklin stuff. Don’t like it – tough titties. It wasn’t disrespectful – you got your ass kicked.

a guy in the management company that collected the dues for my neighborhoods HOA back in Florida told me he lien threat from HOA’s is just that, a threat. he said they can file a lien but it doesn’t hold up in court.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:05 AM
Always skeptical of these kind of stories. Sure, they found 3-4 people to say that they don’t like competing against her. But I bet overwhelming majority of other swimmers were thrilled to get a chance to compete against her and hang out with her at a meet.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:05 AM
God I hate that song
January 16th, 2013 at 9:06 AM
But the problem is that most times you don’t even know about it until the title report is run on your property when you try to sell/refinance. Then you have to go through the trouble of getting it removed through the legal process. I’m sure it’s a complete pain in the ass.

Parents, too, apparently. I didn’t read the article, but I thought I heard she was swimming an abbreviated schedule, just to fulfill her commitment to her teammates. Where was everyone bitching when they had to play against LeBron in high school?

Psylocke was so hot. Why do they have to cram Jubilee in there? She’s the worst.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:09 AM
So that guy from BYU who only played football a few years, goes 12th to Miami. Hankins, who will anchor a d-line for 10-12 years, goes 30th. Got it.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:09 AM

It was one team and their coach. They win the state title every year, and this chick could fuck it up. Total sour grapes.

Those guys have the right idea. No endless planning, no excruciating ceremony, no 10 hours of pictures. Just go to city hall and sign the document.

Psylocke drawn by Jim Lee was insanely hot. Jubilee means obligatory Wolverine cameo when sales drop (around issue #2).
This relaunch really is Marvel’s “Birds of Prey”. Nothing new between the Big 2.

narrows down the choices unfortunately. our HOA down in FL was $65 a month. our HOA here in TN is $38 a month.

Gonna take me another couple episodes of Justified to get used to the kid from Jurassic Park beng the creepy snake-handling preacher

Glad I didn’t take this game. I was about to go ND -6, a bounce back from the UCONN loss, bust decided at the last minute not to. STJ played with some fire and hustle.
Waited to 8pm and played the NOIA +12 vs CREI game. Lucky cover at the end with a 2pt put back with 12 secs left. CREI had a bunch of homer refs last nite. McDermott gets alot of benefit of the doubts on calls
January 16th, 2013 at 9:18 AM
Why? That would have been cool to play against him in high school. Plus maybe the rest of his team sucked and your school could win.

They’ve got some good young pieces. Obekpa can sure block shots, but that 24% free throw percentage needs just a little work.

Wrong side of the floor. Think I pulled something important in my back.
But the sensationalized headline is completely misleading. I was expecting some entertaining high school girl anger.

Good point about Wolverine. Psylocke in her prime right here.

January 16th, 2013 at 9:23 AM
The Bears hire Marc Trestman. Totally underwhelming. I was actually worried for a bit there they’d get Bruce Arians.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:23 AM
apparently where my in-laws live there was only 3-4 colors you could put on the house. black, beige, grey or olive. the HOA lost their shit when they did paint their front door a deep maroon, required her to paint over it, then petition the entire subdivision for something like 80% approval to get it painted red.

Trestman is capable but he’ll need to prove he can round out a proper coaching staff. I’d rather have him than Arians.

Yeah, the ironic thing about the reaction to the Missy Franklin article (which based on the reaction posts, most people didn’t actually read) is there is more whining by posters on here reacting to some 100-2 basketball score, or to the Grinnell system kid scoring all of those points, than there is any kind of whining by kids or parents in that article. But of course, you’d find that out by reading the article.

Indeed.
You need to watch S2 before S3, but S4 seems pretty detached from the rest of the back stories. A lot of S2 and S3 characters aren’t in this season. Not that they are dead, the showrunner just took a different path.

I would offer a counter to that. An acquaintance of mine is going to be foreclosed on by the HOA because of outstanding debt and a lien that is in place.

Saw Django, that movie needs editing. Seems like in a coke bender he watched all the spaghetti westerns, wrote down all the themes and gimmicks and in a frenzy jammed them all into a movie that could have been much better.

Great thing about swimming is that your time is your time. It’s not about fouls, penalties or judgment calls, just touch the wall first and you win. My kid swam in a state meet where Michael Phelps competed. I’m sure the guy next to him didn’t like getting beaten soundly, but if he improved his time, he was probably happy.

I don’t know much about HOA’s, but I once rented in a “historic district” and the owners couldn’t do anything to the outside of their house without permission.

Season 2 is one of the best seasons of cable television since 2000. Justified is best when it explores the the history of Harlan County and its entangled family relationships, and they just knocked it out of the park in S2.

Took Cincy last night at -7, was up 11 with a minute to go, then saw they only won by 5. Hate getting backdoored (no coop).
I watched McDermott against Missouri St the other night and he was unstoppable. Had all of Creighton’s points in the 2nd half until about 7 minutes left. Coincidentally missed his first shot of the half around that time as well. Guy dominates the MVC. Think they finally lost their 2nd game against the spread last night, something like 9-1 before that.

HOAs suck? Dunno about that. Ours is fantastic.
ours sucks. $900 annually.
Baylor education allowed MP to live in a nice part of town.
Ours is going up to $150. We live in a rural subdivision. The biggest benefit is snow plowing. It takes the county two days to get to us. The private guys we hire are there while it is snowing. And then we have a big ass pond with a walking trail. Never build an asphault walking trail that goes up and down hills through trees. That shit is constantly getting repaired.

Ours goes towards maintenance of common areas (about 30 linear miles, total), security (gates, patrols), two community pools, and two community parks.
It’s also the price of doing business in the suburbs if you want to live in a new community. I could have chosen to live in a rotting 80 yr old home in city limits proper with no HOA and high crime rate, but then I’d have a money pit on my hands as well.

Mine covers landscaping, snow removal and exterior maintenance, which results in a lower HO insurance premium. Still not worth it.

Nah. Most neighborhoods that have HOA’s don’t have houses poor people could buy. More about protecting property values and satisfying the ego of three or four people who sit on the board.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:07 AM
We live in a gated community and parking street side is a big no-no. Our HOA contracted a tow-truck company to tow cars that are parked overnight on the side street without any warning. I thought this was a bluff until some people I know had their car towed. It was the weekend so it took them awhile to get their car back.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:07 AM
Thisssss.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:08 AM
you still in St. Augustine? that’s seems pretty high. one house we looked at in Sawgrass several years ago before buying where we did was about $150 a month.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:08 AM
So it’s a mini city? Sounds dystopian. I love that those gates make emergency response time slower. Maybe I’m too far gone with Marxism or whatever, but HOA sounds exceedingly cunty and absurd.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
So you honestly believe your only options were to live in a terribly built new home in the burbs or in a falling down shithole in the ghetto? I’m just assuming that your sub is like all others and is full of houses that are simply assembled on site.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
I assume that these are privately owned streets and the county/city does no maintence of them?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:11 AM

January 16th, 2013 at 10:11 AM
i think that’s BS. was it overnight parking, or parking during the day?
what do you do for parties? they overlook the rule since no one has a driveway that big, or does everyone take a car services?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:13 AM
I would love it if people in my neighborhood wouldn’t do this either. Driving through my neighborhood is like going through an obstacle course.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:14 AM
We live in a gated community and parking street side is a big no-no.
We have no rule like that. We do have a no fences rule which is awesome. It makes everyone’s 1.5 – 2 acre lot look like 4 acres.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:14 AM
Its not like you have EMT’s getting out of their ride and punching in a code and waiting for the people in the house to answer. Every Emergency vehicle is equipped with SOS and all those gates have sensors.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:14 AM
in one of these developments, the proper move to get out after all the houses turn 15 years old and start needing new shit and only a fraction of the people do the proper upkeep,
so every 10-15 years you move?

Scripty, those new houses need shit after about 5 years. They aren’t built well and the quality control is terrible. There were too many built, too quickly, for the good home inspectors to keep up. I was in real estate during the last housing boom and it was insane. I did my best to talk clients out of buying in subs like that. All they had to do was move 10-15 minutes to a more rural setting and they would get so much more value for their dollar.

Love them to make a deep run in the tourney, Wilcox is a stud.

January 16th, 2013 at 10:20 AM
Thats’s a good question because I once asked about widening the entry to my drive-way and they said I would need a permit from the city.
It was overnight parking. For parties I send an email a week in advanced to let them know about guests possible staying over and leaving their cars on the side street. The response I always get is, “thanks, we’ll make a note of it.”

I would enjoy an HOA contract like a menu….ok you guys do the grass and landscaping and ill take care of snow removal. I can do all that myself. The older or lazier could choose the whole menu. Ours is 220/month. Only part i value is the repairs of the outside and if a roof leak leads to interior damage. The rest I’d prefer to take care of and save the money
January 16th, 2013 at 10:36 AM
I was absolutely amazed at people who just refused to look outside the subs. I haven’t heard from a single one of those people I helped, but I still get random emails from the ones who listened to me. They either want to move up to a bigger home or have friends who need a Realtor. If I had planned on staying in the area after finishing my education degree I would probably have a nice little real estate business on the side.
My favorite is from my sisters’ development. House across the street passed final inspection. Buyers had their friend who is an inspector look at it. Saw a large joist on the ground between two homes. Asked what it was doing there and the builder said it was an extra that was shipped by accident. He looks in the attic over the garage, which is attached to the master suite, and sees that there is an entire joist missing from the fucking house. Needless to say, those people didn’t end up buying.

Friends Mom flipped a condo in 6 months purchasing at $450,000 sinking $15,000 in and selling for $600,000 something. Friend fixed it up, there is no real weather sealing people just up the heat. Wires were not colour coded, he electrocuted himself twice installing a chandelier. Some wires were live and went no where. He was completely shocked by the callous shoddiness of it all. On top of that the developers sit on the condo boards so even if everything is fucked up the consumer has very little recourse. Idiot finance minister tried to tighten mortgage lending (after losing restrictions 4 years ago) in response to what’s happening. As Kenyes said though “the horse is already out of the barn.” I could see prices dropping to almost zero it’s so bad. Here’s the building.

“Payton said she pays her dues on time, but Hess recently directed her to have a microchip implanted in her small dog, a procedure she doubts would affect property values in her neighborhood. The edict does not appear in the recorded covenants governing Payton’s neighborhood.”
Seems like they have no legal power to enforce that. Time to lawyer up.
I’ve lived in several HOA regulated condos/neighborhoods, some in the city, some outside. I’ve never heard of no parking on the street provisions, no painting the inside of your house certain colors provisions, or anything like that. The worst I ever got from them was when my lawn had some bad fungus rot crap in it and was dying. They sent me a non-threatening letter offering to help me take care of it.
