Eh, I was referring more to the freak storm that passed through today. About 3 inches of rain(half what we get in a year), 60mph winds, and that nasty haboob pictured above actually picked up some debris that knocked out the satellite dish for my building.
But no, that’s not the only reason I want to leave here.

I’m not angry with illegals, I’d be doing the same thing: getting here and making some money. I think there needs to be a better system if there is work to be done and workers who want to do it.
But I think calling Arizona reps the KKK is a bit strong.
This is true. Even I wouldn’t say that. But there is a very strong Neo-Nazi presence here, and that’s a bit unsettling.

I think calling Arizons Reps the KKK is fairly accurate. Weeks before this the state legislature passed the Obama birther law. Saying Obama had to show his birth certificate to AZ if he wanted to run in 2012.
That state is ground zero for wingnuts

I mean the people hiring illegal immigrants is more at fault than the people coming here in my opinion. They wouldn’t come here if they couldn’t get work or better the life of there family

i hate to get into this kind of thing on a SPURS blog site, but maybe think about this in a different way. its certainly easy for those of us who live outside AZ to point the finger of racism or whatever and bark about how terrible the immigration law is and all that.
i saw all of this as more of a cry for help from a state with a big problem. not everyone handles their problems the right way, but often people who need help get it.
instead of casting aspersions on the state and threatening them with federal actions and the like, our leaders ought to get more engaged in this problem and try to figure out a better way to solve it because the current system doesnt seem to be working – in any state.
its even more comical to me that all these hollywood types have tried to pile on.
If this was a cry for help, why didn’t the state do this three years ago, when the estimated immigration rates were much lower, there were only 1/4 of the National Guard troops on the border and 1/3 the number of deportations as happened in the last year? Seems like there was much more of a need for help then. But no, they’re doing this because the federal government is “doing nothing”. Well, nothing except way more than they were doing when Republicans were in charge.

The short Beltway answer your question: because it wasn’t as politically advantageous for those in power in AZ as it is now. They can get much more mileage out of the issue now with a Dem. Congress and President than they ever could have three years ago.
I think it is universally accepted that there is an illegal immigration problem in Arizona which has deep roots and myriad implications. No political party/ideology has a corner on the morality of their position or on potential solutions.
This is not a binary issue. It is as complex as an issue can be.

Hey Tim. I used to live in Tucson myself seven years ago. I suppose you’re having a late monsoon season right now. I went back to Tucson in June and stayed for a few days before realizing the rain just was not going to fall. Appears to be doing so now! Where do you live in AZ?
The Black Swan trailer got posted. You absolutely must see this movie when it comes out. It’s by my favorite director, Darren Aronofsky.

One of the coolest things I have ever seen was in Ariziona; a super tall dust-devil. I thought it was a tornado at first glance but then I realized there wasn’t a damn cloud in the sky.
Different note: If any person with an active lifestyle is looking for a solid (and comfortable) athletic ankle wrap, give this a shot. Its probably the best athletic ankle support I have ever used (and I’ve burned through quite a few).

Thanks for the heads up, I am looking for a replacement myself. The current one I use has great support, but a little too limiting on movement.
I’ve been trying different ones over the last 12 months and most have the same issues; comfort, durability, and placement stability (changes position).
Though durability is still up in the air, this ankle wrap doesn’t budge during workouts and provides fantastic stability without being a pain in the ass. I also recently picked up a knee band from the same company. Didn’t move at all during a cardio-intense workout.

it was cool, some really great action choreography and they really let you see it all where as expendables was so zoomed in and sped up, you lost a lot similar to batman begins
for a comedy, I’d recommend Other Guys over it, but it was really good for a movie theater movie….great sound, special effects, action and group laughs
some really great action choreography and they really let you see it all
This was my major gripe about Gladiator, and most any other “action movie” that doesn’t let you see any action at all. Is your movie centered around fighting, combat, or action? Then hire someone who knows how to choreograph that kind of thing, and then use a lens that’s wide enough to capture said action, for crying out loud.
One of the most egregious examples of this is Revenge of the Sith where close ups on the actors’ faces predominated during the big lightsaber finale so much so that only glimpses of the sabers could be seen, and that’s the part of the fight that’s worth anything! Apart from jumping from one ridiculous set piece to another without any logic for it at all, which completely ruined any kind of continuity whatsoever, there were precious few wide shots that allowed for any perception of the ebb and flow of the battle. I hate this kind of thing.
So, now that I know you can see it all in SP v TW, I’m definitely in.

Plenty of action in Gladiator. It’s not a matter of actors not being able to learn choreographies. It’s a stylistic choice.
Compare Bourne 1 to Bourne 3. The action is much clearer in the first movie. Does it make it better than the 3rd? Debatable, but not in my opinion.
I smell death... everywhere.
Agreed. Bourne got better on every outing.

I looked it up and he’s going to be the play-by-play guy for CBS College Sports (CUSA, MWC, and academies), not the main network. SI Q&A
I was excited too when I thought he would be one of the talking heads for pre/post games, but unfortunately, no such luck. I would, however, fire CU’s coach in a heartbeat if Leach would come to Boulder.
I got some birthday cash, looking to get the new cheaper Kindle. Anyone have any opinions on it? Likes, dislikes?
Thanks.
I can’t believe I was going to make some sort of fire-starter joke. I’ve been watching way too many survival shows.

Ok, I need all of your help and suggestion. I get shin splints when I run for a while and I had tried proper shoes, hard surface, soft surface…nothing seems to help. Any suggestion. A little bit about me before some one says, keep running and you will be fine, I’m fit and had been working working out regularly since last 5 yrs and can do other kinds of cardio for longer stretches. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the faith!!
Considering what you have already mentioned that can be caused by a number of things; tight calf muscles, leaning too far forward, too much weight on the ball of the foot, hitting too far back on the heels, over-pronation, and excessive incline running.
Try doing more calf/lower leg stretches before running. I also suggest anti-inflammatory pills and warming up the calf muscles (hot towel, shower, etc) before the stretches. Stretch your lower legs again after running and then ice your shins/calves for 20-30 minutes. Over time, this may slowly decrease the frequency shin splints since the muscles in the lower legs are becoming more flexible.
I did, but when I do that, I’m not able to run for longer. :(
How do your feet hit the ground while you run?

I do warmup before running and also stretch after running. But haven’t tried the hot towel idea and the anti-inflammatory pills, will have to try that.
In the beginning, I’m hitting the heels just so lightly and once shin starts hurting, I’m trying to land on my front part of the foot or toes. I have tried the exact opposite too, but wouldn’t help. I know I’m doing something wrong, not sure what.
Keep the faith!!
I mean the full mechanics. Is it just straight heel-toe or do you hit on the outside or /inside part of the foot as well?

Tim’s suggestion of landing on the ball of your foot (or your mid-foot) is what I started years ago, and it’s helped me immeasurably, although my issue wasn’t splints.
Also, make sure that you’re shortening your stride and keeping your feet under your frame. This caused me to have insane cramps in my glutes when I started the style, but over time your body adapts like most other things. What you really want to do is absorb the shock with your muscles instead of your joints and bones. Work into it bit by bit. If you need more cardio while your endurance is short, try an arm focused workout. There are some kickboxing aerobic routines that are entirely arms (punches, etc) that can really get the heart-rate up.

Also, there are often detailed instructions on this style in running magazines and/or online. Experiment with it and I think you’ll find something that works.

Good hint. A good way to get your body to run that way is:
1) picture yourself moving your body center forward, i.e. the abs are going forward, the legs and arms are just moving to glide the body on. Don’t focus on legs going up and down.
2) good posture while running. elongate the area between your ribcage and the bottom of your abs, core firm, don’t hunch.
Lauri: thank goodness I have you magnificent bastards to waste [the offseason] with.
Are you warming up, stretching, and then running?
Careful about the surface you run on. Blacktop is better than concrete, and dirt is better than blacktop.
If you do any weighttraining look for the little gizmo that lets you do the reverse of calf exercises so you can build up the muscles on the shins.
watch how you run, make sure you are not landing hard. Try and barely touch the surface, imagine using the ground to propel you instead of landing hard.
Lauri: thank goodness I have you magnificent bastards to waste [the offseason] with.
I do fair amount of warm up and stretches both before and after running. I also avoid running on roads, I run only on the treadmill or on a dirt surface.
I agree, I need to watch more on how I run. I know I’m not doing it right, but just dont know what.
Keep the faith!!

A set of pictures I’ve been looking at today. It’s from a guy who went to North Korea as a tourist, and as always the pictures are just surreal. I always thought that if North Korea didn’t exist and someone made it up as fiction, it would be considered too unbelievable.
Also, there was something slightly unsettling about all the pictures, aside from the empty streets and the Soviet-looking buildings. I couldn’t figure it out at first, then I finally noticed, there’s no trash, anywhere. Not a plastic bag, leaves, or anything else. It’s weird how a simple little detail like that changes everything:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/russthecheetah/sets/72157624516829108/
I did a lot of soul searching. I didn't find anything.
i’ve seen the same thing with the trash in pictures of middle eastern countries…a lot of the pictures looked like the infrastructure and buildings were built, but they hadn’t told people they could live there yet
I’m uncertain of the extent of this but there are numerous small towns built by the N. Korean government that are uninhabited. Some are failed market towns and others are just incomplete (government ran out of money and won’t allow people to live there).

I just wondered if it was possible to have a farm team in the same league. I was going to see if it would work, and if it did, then i was going to trade them back. It was because of a question one of my friends had, and when I saw that the grizzlies’ GM spot was open. I decided to try it. I didn’t not see myself getting suspended or did I try to wrongfully tamper with the league. I agree with you banning me. I just would like you to understand that I did not try to do what it appeared to do in the long run. If you allow the Spurs Gm and the Grizzlies GM to return to the league, the first thing I will do is resign from the grizzlies and Start working only on the spurs.
Dejuan BLAAAIIIIIIRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I feel sorry for the foreigners that have to make do with donuts.
I smell death... everywhere.
I typed very awesome donuts. I assure you, pity is entirely unwarranted.
Basically voted most normal person on PtR.
I believe it was Sun Tzu who once remarked, " A man does not have to choose allegiance between facturas or Spudnuts, he in fact can love them both, for that is the true essence of maturity and/or fatassery".
I did a lot of soul searching. I didn't find anything.
LOL!
Fatassery!!!!!!!!!!!
One thing i can do...................is FINGER ROLL.

Psst dude. I think that is just the Spanish word for what we call danish pastry – no doubt the Argentine version is especial. (OK, once again I’d like to thank wikipedia.)
Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it.
No matter how like danish pastry it is, there’s no getting around the curiosity that there’s something out there that’s awesome that I haven’t experienced.

I think my response to Manu would have been:
“Manu, i did the corner 3 thing last year. I think this year, I’m going to throw a little El Contusion into my game”

Went to see Scott Pilgrim yesterday, I thought the movie would be funnier but still it was a good time, if you have grown up playing video games you’ll effing love it. Also Ramona changed the color of her hair a bunch of times, so that was a plus for me. I gotta say though, Kiera Culkin ( yeah the brother of the Home Alone guy) stole the movie.

Have you ever listened to a break-up song and thought to yourself, " Although this does a good job of expressing what is like to lose a valued relationship, I feel there is a distinct lack of f-bombs".
Well, I have good new for you. Hot off the presses, barely a day old, an insanely catchy song:

Three consecutive tweets from Hill yesterday….
Y do people say I be big headed at the mall… I sign n take a pic with everyone who approaches. Far from big headed.
I just hate the person who said I’m big headed is the one that say they big spurs fans but call me Grant Hill be serious…
I feel like everytime I go out somewhere I sign n take 1000 photos n autographs I’m not allowed just 2 sign sometimes or is it against rules
It kind of annoys me that a “fan” said that because Hill is probably one of the best Spurs in this regard. He is starting his own SA bowling league for FSM’s sake! He constantly invites people to Dave and Buster’s or bowling on his twitter account. In case anyone missed that tweet:
George Hill Rising Stars Bowling League Starts Sept. 9th @ Astro Bowling Cent 3203 Harry Wurzbach Rd. Call for details 210-824-6348
Reading a really good thriller by Dana Haynes called Crashers, ran across this.
Ray, an FBI agent from LA is talking to Tommy, from Austin Texas, who is in charge of the investigation of the crash. They have been considering a terrorist angle involving the Red Fist of Ulster. The latest info is that it might be pilot error.
“Guy kills a guy for money. That I get. Guy kills a guy for the love of a woman. Sure. One extremist of faith puts a twenty-two to the back of another extremist’s head, double tap to the skull. Happens. But to hate Catholicism enough to knock a Vermeer out of the sky? It never added up.”
“Given what we just saw…” Tommy said, nudging his chin in the direction of the Mac.
“Yeah,” Ray said, “Pilot error sucks, but it makes more sense than thinking anyone hates anyone or anything enough to do this.”
They sipped their coffee, just two guys.
Tommy said, “I dunno. I fuckin’ hate the Lakers…” and Ray snorted a laugh.
Timmy D .... enough said.
