At least Dunleavy was in shootaround. I remember when I was relieved when he said it was just a jam. 4 weeks later...

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 04:41 PM) Best Buy just started selling no-contract ATT HTC One M7's for $150 I did see that, I was happy to see. Luckily it worked out for me as I couldn't have used that anyway.

Snowmageddon 2015
QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 04:01 PM) Ah I'm not too far from there now. I'm in Old Irving Park/Avondale. Do you have a lot of permit parking near your place or is it mostly street? There is some permit by the cali blue, but that's 5 or so blocks north. It's all street parking. There's occasionally shortages on our block, but for the most part it's easy to park. Except when people claim 40 feet for their sedan via DIBS.

I contacted my alderman. It is a losing battle that I am fighting via example. I will have a garage before I win this.

Vaccinations
It shows the futility of "winning" an argument with these people when something like "they treated my dad for ulcers incorrectly" as an absolute against biology and medicinal science, but the millions and millions of cases of the success and improved health outcomes are proof of nothing.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) I probably would see red if I caught someone doing that. I'm surprised you didn't light him up. Unfortunately did not see anyone, just that there is now a huge garbage can and chair in that spot.

The Democrat Thread
realizing that all my favorite blogs are now gone. It was a slow march. I'm most sad about what TPM has become. What once was a hard hitting investigative and insightful sight, has now become huffpo light. Marshall barely blogs. A commentor said it best on a really s*** article about MLK's mother being shot, calling it "the salonification of TPM". It hit the nail on the head. All it is now is John Oliver/Daily show clips, "wacky republican quote" and filler.

How many games did Westbrook miss? He's having a terrific year too.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) My brother who lives in lakeview stated that someone removed someone's dibs garbage from the street and watched someone park there only to get their tires slashed. I'm glad I use a zip car and my real car just sits around collecting dust. Seeing someone put dibs on a spot that my wife cleaned out made me want to throw them in the yard, but I figured the poor sap who parked there might take a punishment. All the more reason Dibs should end.

Did not see that coming. Nice to escape. You can complain about lack of NIKO / DMD minutes but Snell was in that boat and then some, and he just played the whole fourth. The minutes come around.

If you want to feel terrible about roses athletic ability, watch how Payton just came at him three times in a row at a helpless rose.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 8, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) Taj is so unathletic now. He looks to have lost two steps out there. Seriously. Suddenly we have no guards who can stop dribble penetration and only one mobile big to funnel them to.

Picked out my games from our ticket package today. Can't wait. We went to big hurt brew house to do it, thinking it would be fun. You know, harmless bar food. My god was it terrible in all respects.

so it's been 40 degrees two days straight and has been 8 days since the snow. DIBS IS OVER. ITS OVER, YOU DONT JUST GET TO CLAIM A SPOT ON A PUBLIC STREET FOREVER. It's behavior like this that makes me completely immune to the sob stories over digging out for 30 minutes only to lose your spot over a trip to the drug store. Maybe you should have walked there.

Not sure we should use Bball HOF as a benchmark for anything. But what hurts most of those Pistons was lack of longevity dominating. But for 4-5 years Wallace was dominant, bill ups was dominant. But can the Hawks do it? Who knows. They are clearly the best team in the east right now though, so prematurely discounting them just by guessing how they'll do in postseason sounds silly.

Financial News
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 12:57 PM) Not a single index fund? I've never heard of a provider who didn't at least have a 500 index. That too, though I think you mean fees, not cost basis. Cost basis is how much you pay to purchase it, which in the case of Mutual Funds is either the clean price or dirty with fees up front. It's the fee level, and how/when it is charged, that are relevant here. I am excited for people to see what I'm looking at to know if there are alternative terms that I don't understand.

There is not a single index fund offered. I definitely need answers, I'd love to manage myself as there are plans I am a fan of, but I do not know how employee match is affected if I move to Roth.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) Perfectly corresponding with the crash in energy prices. I would have thought that energy crash would have propped up GDP and consumer numbers more than jobs reports. But, obviously the revisions of recent GDP reports have been greater than 1% since q1 of last year.

I'm very frustrated by our 401k fund options, all of which seem very expensive. There is a small employee match, however. They do have aggressive/moderate models that just throw you in %'s of all of them, but I don't understand how to calculate costs of that.
