You want to talk about a case of the Mondays? Obviously this was not a very good sports weekend. The Avalanche rolled over and played dead for the Canucks and I think you all know which football team I follow (hint: they let me down miserably last night). I know many of you are Broncos fans, so it looks like we're all in the same boat. Can we just pretend this weekend didn't happen?

The University of Louisville football team finally defeated constantly-awful Syracuse to improve to 4-6 on the year and 1-4 in the Big East. It was the first time since 2006 that UofL beat the Orange.

im happy for you
but even my college teams lost this weekend. :( EVERY team i root for, even marginally.
Mercifully, the baseball season is over, so the Cubs couldn’t lose even if they wanted to (and they probably do).
Other than them, the only other team I actively support is the Avs. I’m bound to UofL via school and work but otherwise I’m hardly a diehard fan.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Same here
Avs, Leafs(Mainly for the discount beer at a local pub), my hockey team, my college’s team.
They all sucked monkey ass. Even worse, they all got blown out.
Only marginally good thing is that I got three points, in a 12-5 loss.

Packers won. And the Buckeyes won. And the Bears lost. So there’s that.

I also have a puppy that won’t stop biting me, Mike, or Preschooler.
Any and all tips are appreciated!
Wow, Debbie Downer. You sound like my Dad.
After paying $550 for him, I’d like to give it a little longer than 2 1/2 weeks, though. :-)
yeah, I think that was overly harsh.
get rid of Mike

Oh, I just saw an Animal Planet special on those dogs. They said DO NOT GET THIS DOG IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN. Ruh roh.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
You’re going to have to be very strict on the training. And don’t let the dog push you around, or it will grow up to be intolerable.

Ah yes.. Most sporting breeds are. I have German Shorthaired Pointers so I feel your pain. Just bite back.

always have a chew toy with you. when he bites you, put the chew toy in its mouth then praise him immediately when he bites it instead of you. you might even want to have little treats close by so you can reward him with food when he does the right thing also. i know it won’t seem to work at first (well, for quite a while) but eventually it will. positive affirmations FTW!
also, you are kennel training him, right? also very effective.

by BeachNSnowGirl on Nov 16, 2009 9:07 AM MST up reply actions
Yep, definitely kennel training. We’ve been doing the distraction and praise bit, and it works sometimes. Then other times he chews the toy twice, then comes back at your hand, arm, side, whatever. I’ve been emailing a couple of trainers this morning to see about some private lessons.
well, if he takes it at all, even to only chew it twice, that’s a huge success and should be rewarded right away. also, i know this will sound weird, but try growling at him when he bites at you. he’s still young enough that he’ll respond to it. you can also put your hand over the top of his muzzle and squeeze a little. it’s what his mom did (with her mouth) when he got out of line. all female dogs do this to control their pups.

I remember getting into a growling match with an annoying little dog at a set of units I was working on. I totally kicked it’s ass. That’ll teach that stupid little chihuaha thing.

Rename him Savage. It’ll make him an awesome dog and he’ll be living up to his awesome name when he bites Mike.

My girlfriend got foodpoisoning in a fancy restaurant yesterday.
Either that or she’s allergic, whichever makes you vomit the entire night through.
Maybe she saw the score of last night’s game. Who am I kidding, she doesn’t even know there’s such a thing as hockey on ice.
Nothing is more attractive than vomiting constantly. Sounds like a keeper!

Don’t give up on the puppy. I had one that did that too and she got over it. Really a well behaved dog now. Assume you checked up on Pets Mart Classes or some such? Don’t give up on MIke either however my puppy only bit me and grandchildren never husband.
Jibbled.
Sounds like Mike needs to establish himself as the Alpha pronto.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
absolutely. in fact, the whole family does. hence kennel training. everyone else gets the hellos and hugs and stuff first. then the dog. everyone else eats first. then the dog. the dog has to get everything – attenion, food, whatever – last always. he should be ignored until his proper time to get whatever it is. he’ll learn his place. many of the obedience probs people have with dogs are solved simply by doing this.

Thanks Beachie! I hadn’t even thought of the food thing. We started that last night, and I tried holding his muzzle for 10 seconds too. The other thing we did was leave the room when he wouldn’t stop instead of putting him out. This morning was much better, thought I don’t want to jinx anything!
We’ve also contacted a local trainer for some at home lessons.
Make sure EVERYONE is an Alpha. My dog will not jump on me or nip me while playing. She will jump on my GF though, because my GF spoils the dog. Spoiling is ok, but the dog needs to know who is the boss first. Now if we just get her to come when called with distractions. That one’s proving a little tougher. They are definitely worth it though when they are well behaved and not driving you crazy.

Speaking of OSs, I’m pondering dumping Vista for either Windows 7 or Ubuntu. Not sure what I’m going to do yet.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
I think it’s pretty obvious that you should dual boot the two… also, anybody with a valid .edu email address can buy a Windows 7 upgrade for $30.
I normally get deals on MS stuff like that when it comes out through work, but no such promo this year. guess I’ll be sticking with Vista.

I most certainly have a valid .edu email address.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
go through this link. For some stupid reason, Micro$oft partnered with these digital river people for the distribution of the student edition. The customer service is awful, the download times are slow, and it’s somewhat confusing, but I did it a couple weeks ago and it’s definitely legit. If you’re going to get the 64-bit version of W7, they want you to email them requesting a download link, but they take forever. Let me know and I can give it to you.
What is the advantage of dual booting them over running just one or the other? Geeks please advise.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
There is none. Basically it boils down to this:
Do you play a lot of games? → Windows
Are you not very good with computers? → Windows
Are you quite good with computers? → Linux
Linux is way ‘better’, but it has a quite steep learning curve. I wouldn’t want to explain my mum how it works.
The upsides are that you control your entire pc for a change. There are no 100 background programs running that you’ve never heard of.
No virusses either, well hardly anyways.
Are you not very good with computers? →
WindowsMac
Fixed ;)
Make Me A Milkshake, Malkin! - Mike Lange
wait wait wait, we’re over simplifying things.
Do you play a lot of games? → Windows
Are you not very good with computers? rich? → Windows Mac
Are you quite good with computers? Do you have too much time on your hands? → Linux
I dual boot those two. Ubuntu has a heck of a steep learning curve, so if you plan on being productive on your computer any time soon, I’d say you should keep Windows around. Also, in my own opinion, Ubuntu just isn’t quite “there” yet to be my primary OS.
From a technical standpoint, what does dual booting do? Does it increase performance? If I’m running both OSs simultaneously, how does that translate to performance/usability that is an improvement over running Windows alone?
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Dualbooting doesn’t run both OSs simultaneously.
It gives you the choice to decide which one you start up when you turn on your pc.
Bear with me, I’m computer literate but not really savvy. I’m getting it now. Thanks for the clarification!
So I would be able to play around with Ubuntu and get the hang of it while still being able to run Windows if I had to as a comfortable fall-back. Gotcha.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
exactly. I tend to get terribly frustrated with windows every couple of months (this was when i was stuck with vista…so far, no issues w/ W7) and I’d get upset and boot into Ubuntu. Then I’d use Ubuntu for a couple days until there was something I wanted Windows for, or something I couldnt figure out how to do in Ubuntu and didn’t want to take the time to figure it out. Repeat.
I wish my laptop had XP instead of Vista. But I’ve had very few issues with Vista, so I can’t really complain.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
I special ordered my new laptop so it would have XP, vista is a BITCH to uninstall if you want to reload XP on a system.
I have no idea how Windows went from XP’s awesomeness to Vista’s craptacularity back to Awesomeness with 7.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
The fact that they were even able to even approach awesomeness with XP after the whole ME debacle still surprises me.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
craptacular
I watched the games from bed, with the flu… I was really hoping to wake up this morning and realize that it was all just a bad hallucination
I did the same thing with the Pats game. no flu, but hoping it was all a bad dream.

Right, this is a “Who had the worst weekend”competition?
My dad went in Friday for what we thought was minor surgery and ended up having major surgery and is still in the hospital. Which sucks
So I spent most of the weekend at the hospital visiting with him and bringing him reading materials etc.

Yeah
He’s in good spirits and doing well. The entire family was just caught off-guard on how big the surgery was.
He’s got a killer incision (that will be a killer scar) that goes from about the center of his neck all the way behind hios left ear, across his shoulder and curls down near his armpit.

Those powder blue thirds won the Winter Classic, though! I don’t think they’re THAT cursed. Not like the Avs’.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
That’s not much of a curse if you ask me. 0-8 would be a curse.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
well we’re not in much of one either, if the next time we wear them we get pasted knocks on wood then i think we have something to discuss
Make Me A Milkshake, Malkin! - Mike Lange
Oh, sure, it might be a little premature to assume that a jersey in which the team is 0-1 is cursed, but it’s a really, really BIG 0-1. Had the Avs lost 2-1, it wouldn’t be a big deal. 8-2 is a big deal.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
i avoided sportscentre all weekend cause i didn’t want to see a single frame of hilights
Make Me A Milkshake, Malkin! - Mike Lange
It took me a second to realize you meant the Canadian Sportscentre and not the American Sportscenter. I was going to respond, “don’t worry, you can watch hours of Sportscenter and not have to worry about seeing a single frame from the Avs’ game.”
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
I’m fairly sure the Avs could win the cup and still not appear on Sportscenter.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
I’m pretty sure the Penguins got five total minutes of air time last season when they won it. But how much of that is because of Sid Crosby, I don’t know.

It’s more than marketing. You can’t polish a turd, after all.
There have been extensive academic papers written about the inherent attraction of Americans to American football due to its connection and similarities to industrial warfare and modern society in general. Also, the timing of the games (on weekends almost exclusively) makes it easier to devote time to each game. There’s a lot more, too, but it’s boring and I’ll skip it.
That said, promotion definitely helps to a certain extent, but it’s deeper than ad spots and Peyton Manning selling everything from credit cards to soda.

You need a workshop?

And month-long paid vacations.
Damn socialists. I bet they have universal health care, too.
Oh, they do. Bastards.

Lived in Spain for two years, nice place to visit, but I’m not moving back.

I met her
She visited my college last year.
Nice lady.

Yep
From just outside the GTA.

I thought I was the only one here.
At least I’m still the only one AFAIK that went to the bar before Sakic Night.

Funny Story (or at least I think so)
I’m in 4th grade listening to George Carlin. He tells a joke and I don’t get it. So I go into the kitchen and have the following conversation with my father.
Me: Hey Dad, what’s masturbation.
He chokes on his coffee and says: Where did you hear that?
Me: George Carlin. So, what does it mean?
Dad: Look it up in the dictionary.
Me (after getting the dictionary): I don’t get it. It says “self-pollution.” What does that mean?
Dad (rolling his eyes and shaking his head): You know, um, well, when you . . . . play with yourself.
Me: Oh, so that’s what they call it.
I then start laughing hysterically and my Dad says “What are you laughing at?” I tell him, “I get the joke now!” as I skip off with my dictionary.
Yeah, good time with dear old Dad.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.

Your dictionary actually said “self-pollution”? What was it, Funk & Falwell’s?

More overrated than football: Family Guy

I really enjoy Family Guy, but I agree it’s overrated. Funny, yes. Consistently amazing, not at all.
Also drastically overrated: Lady Gaga. I have friends who have avoided pop music for years and years but have somehow convinced themselves that Lady Gaga is somehow different and better than the other garbage on Top 40 radio.

God I want to hit her badly
With a freaking spiked mace.
2009-2010 Avalanche: The memo the 'experts' sent about sucking was lost en route.
Lady Gaga sort of fits the Guilty pleasure “genre.” Overly poppy yet catchy music that everyone pretends to hate but still listens to.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
I get why people like her music—-it is catchy. But all Top 40 music is catchy. It’s supposed to be. I don’t get why so many of my friends have picked Gaga specifically to get into when they still eschew everything else that sounds pretty much EXACTLY like her.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Hmm
I don’t think I’ve heard a Lady GaGa song. ever.

I bet you have, but wouldn’t be able to differentiate her from any of the other female pop singers in the past decade.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Hmm
How to know when you got old
apparently I got old in 1997, when I was 17.

I got old in 2002, at 23 apparently.

I’ve been old for a while, but I got a lot older when I read how old you kids were in 1997 and 2002

What's it mean if I barely recognize any song from after I was born.
It makes me sad that not one song listed after 86 is remotely close to my style of choice.
Did I get old before I was conceived or am just awesome like that?

But I can sing most of both Paparazzi and Poker Face so, y’know, maybe that guys pop music taste just sucks. Seriously, Mariah Carey? Nobody’s listened to her since 1993.

i work for a top 40 station…i want to blow my brains out every weekend

Sucks for you
I would much rather work at a Rock station than any other one. Save and AM sports one.
2009-2010 Avalanche: The memo the 'experts' sent about sucking was lost en route.
they gave me a job and a foot in the door…the rock stations around here weren’t hiring

tell me about it, but the staff is good shit, and the work i do in relation to the amount i get paid is awesome…a monkey could do my job

Family Guy is the most overrated thing in the history of things that are overrated.
Except maybe Halo. Or Final Fantasy VII.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
Don’t talk shit about FFVII you jerk.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Hey, I love FFVII. It’s just not the best game of all time as some people will tell you.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
Then again, my favorite game of all time is a Dragon Warrior game so maybe I’m bias.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
Depends on which DW game
If it was before Squenix, then yes. You are biased.
2009-2010 Avalanche: The memo the 'experts' sent about sucking was lost en route.
Oh, I agree, I think FF6 and FFX are better games in that franchise alone. But FF7 was a great game nonetheless. So I’d say it’s mildly overrated.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
My favorite game in the series is FF1.
I’m ollllld schoooool.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
You’re a liar, too. Haha
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
FF5,FF6, FF12
For me. Not in said order though.
2009-2010 Avalanche: The memo the 'experts' sent about sucking was lost en route.
I agree with 2/3
Halo? Yes
FF7? Yes
FG? Not so much.

Family Guy debuted right after the Broncos vs. Falcons super bowl, so they’re tightly associated in my brain.
The more you know…
i think family guy can drag their stuff out waaay too long, making something that 5 seconds ago was funny..but 40 seconds later..it’s not
Make Me A Milkshake, Malkin! - Mike Lange
my impression of a Family Guy episode:
HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME
Well I may be bleeding out the jugular, but at least I’m not TV’s David Ducouveny.

Ill toss my shitty weekend story in too
I actually paid money to go to the Avs game saturday, worse I brought my friend and this girl I dig to the game, neither of whom watch hockey, but said they wanted to learn about it. Great first hockey experience eh? watching the team you’re supposed to be trying to root for get destroyed 8-2. And to make it worse I didnt get to go skiing either.
You mean golfing?

My college football team didn't lose this weekend!
