The Swamp

BTW, for the way SalesForce is eating the world, I can't believe how clunky the UI is. I expected it to be much, much nicer than it is.

I thought Beasley was up and down. He made some obvious mistakes, but also made some sensational plays. It looked like he got more comfortable and confident as the game went on, despite the bad leg. Overall, that was solid as our D has looked in a long while. Our forwards kinda sucked, but I guess t...

Well, maybe his looks were some of the changes there (in that town in north Ontario).

UVA will try to join the Terps at MSG. They host Iowa tonight. Pretty tough game for the NIT. Pomeroy #23 at #25. There are four NCAA Tourney teams remaining with lower rankings than either of these teams.

I'm trying to set up a custom object in SalesForce and have a few questions. I won't bore the board with the deets. Anybody here know their way around this monster?

I wonder how much of that information is verified. It seems a bit TOO good, especially that last part.

My apologies to Rass, the lovely Ms. Hayek and her breasts.

I had to ad-block that avatar. Can't have that popping up (hey now!) so often when I'm work Swampin'.

This is great. Maybe one day I'll work up the nerve to try it. This is a much better technique. Some of these girls seem like they kind of like the idea. I don't know. The panhandling/manipulating/lying part seems like it would be a dealbreaker for most chicks. What those videos fail to call much a...

On a similar note . . . how does the larger size YouTubia dimensions work for everyone? It looks great. Scottie, I hope I'm not insulting you here - but did you search for plugins or similar that already solved the embedded video thing? Back in the day, phpbb had a ton of gadgets like that that peo...

Yeah, I saw that one. It looks like a video game play. Incredible.

I thought the phone was a sign that despite the evil veneer, Merle IS a human under there. He feels the weight of his actions. He cares. His sanity is slipping a bit and maybe he needs a chat with someone (an old girlfriend, his mom, his former self?) that was good in his life. That was a nice clue ...

That was a great episode. That was a clever way to end the Merle storyline. They could to rehabilitate him - that would have been silly. Having him be a complete dick, repent and then go out in a blaze of glory was fantastic. And he took out a bunch of the Governor's best men along the way. Was that...

That's just dumb. Are there people outside of Minnesota who actually think the Gophers should regularly be better than Tubby got them? I thought he did a pretty damn good job. Not top-tier elite, but still pretty damn good. I'm willing to bet that Minnesota won't be getting any better with the new c...

My point is we should be grading on a curve. The Big East is 6-5 as a conference and has three Sweet 16 teams, but that should be seen as a disappointment for a conference given four top 4 bids, two more in the 5-8 range and two below. 10-4 with four teams still alive was the expectation out of tha...

I've seen that a bunch of places, saying the BCS is proven better because the Mountain West and A-10 combined for 10 bids and 1 Sweet 16 team, but it sort of ignores that those two conferences only had two teams seeded 1-4. They underperformed by 1. Big East had 4 teams 1-4 and passed 3 into the Sw...

Hey Mountain West Conference! If you really want to be considered one of the big boy conferences, you can't completely miss the Sweet Sixteen.

I don't think you can fault the officials for the OSU call (though the studio crew did). It was an incredibly close play, and even on review it looked to barely be conclusive. Not egregious at all, in my estimation. Yeah, I actually thought they were both close and both probably wrong. It happens t...

Fuck, I hate seeing a game decided by idiotic refs. And, yes, there is an enormous difference between Illinois being tied (or up one) and being down four, with less than a minute to play. That was disgraceful; not even a close call, really. Yeah, and there was a very similar missed call at the end ...

You can all breathe a sigh of relief. UVA has won again in the NIT, beating St. John's 68-50. One more win and UVA heads to MSG.

46 of UVA's 68 points came from freshmen. The future's still looking pretty good in cville.

That was hilarious.

Just a stunning fall. Before his early, amazing success at ucla, he was damn successful at Pitt.

I read that SI article a while back, but I still don't really understand what went wrong.

I just tuned in. Holy shit! I don't think I've ever seen a soccer game like this.

Pretty cool.

So what did that guy do to his guitar to make it play like that? He's not strumming anything and he doesn't appear to be hitting the strings hard at all. It's almost like a keyboard.

And Scottie, is there a way to make the embedded videos a little bigger?

I haven't looked up the numbers but #1s are something like 120-0 versus #16 seeds all-time. Wouldn't ya' think that at some point that's gotta break? The #1s can't stay undefeated forever and the kids that play this game get more athletic every year. Some day I hope to see it happen. What's funny (...

This is a classic N.C. State performance. All that talent and they look like a bunch of idiots. Yup. Their top six players are easily top ten in the country, talent-wise. When they care and play well, they are scary. I figured they'd focus enough today to get by and then turn on the gas against Ind...

A no-nonsense, disciplined team like Wisconsin seems like the worst possible opponent for Henderson. Not gonna fall for his antics.

Speaking of SF, I almost died (traffic came to a sudden stop ahead of me, slammed the brakes, ended up swerving a bit to the right, and luckily the lady flying down the right lane in her Audi was paying attention (and driving an Audi?, QUATTRO!!!) and was able to miss me) with that fucking Foxygen ...

Damn, I preferred you as ztest. Probably the stats geek in me.

Hell, a lot (all?) of arenas actually play music DURING play now as well. Not the whole time, but after a made free throw or something, they'll blast some Smash Mouth until the other team gets the ball over half court. Really fucking annoying.

To clear it up, LED tvs are still LCD screens. The difference is in the backlighting. LED TVs use ... LEDs! Other LCD screens use florescent backlighting. LED lights allow for thinner screens and apparently better contrast. A pretty good breakdown - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387377,00.as...

Deep Throat made $600 million? Damn.

BTW, I loved that Crimson win even if it did cost me my first Sweet Sixteen casualty.
