I watched the entire final round yesteryday, while slugging Newcastles. It was just that one Eagle shot Yang hit that won it really. i couldn't believe he gave it up. the missed birdies early in the round didn't help him either.

Good luck sir ! ! ! Scholarships are a very nice thing the more you apply for the better. just putting the application in at least gives you a shot. i applied for a bunch of grants, scholarships and the like but only two came through. on the upside they cover my tuition for the whole year

another 50,000 acre fire blotting out the sun with smoke. why does this continue to happen?

w00t! another t0p!

speaking of guns, i've been so damn busy this summer i've had my p345 for two months now and have only been to the range once

x2, i don't think the a .17 hmr neck is going to hold the pressure levels generated in a bmg case for some reason...

Sounds great. Thank you. s'my pleasure!

first entree on the menu at bouchon this week: Pan-Seared Pacific Fresh Local Sea Bass fennel-roasted fingerling potatoes, sauteed summer squash rustic sweet basil pesto and Santa Barbara olives relish 28.

i'm with you sean, my cousin's husband is a lobster fisherman here in town so i get fresh lobbies from time to time too. i'm positive you can get our local halibuts as well as striped, calico and sea bass that comes in at stearns wharf year round. i think you would really dig Bouchon and Elements, they're the two best restaurants in town imo. bouchon is a more traditional french/californian and elements is a fresco fusion style california cuisine, both restaurants have the philosophy you look for in food; only local, seasonal and fresh ingredients. http://www.bouchonsantabarbara.com/ http://www.elementsrestaurantandbar.com/index.html bookmark them in your blackberry or something

fresh fishy t0p!

I'll share some so you don't feel so alone. Got a call today from my mom, she said my aunt that beat breast cancer 7-8 years ago has cancer again. This time it's in her lungs, blood, lymph nodes, and bones, and is terminal. I guess the only thing they can do is give her a little bit of treatment to keep it from going to her brain as long as possible, which is inevitable and is the lethal part. They said likely 12-15 months. At first I was sad, obviously. Then as she told me more details, like how she has gotten PET scans every two years (that's how they found this, saw the bumps in her lungs) and chemo pills or shots or something every couple of months since her breast cancer days, I became more pissed at the doctors for not catching it earlier, perhaps when it was still treatable. It seems to me that if it's already in four different systems, that it's had a bit of time to manifest (granted some cancers move fast), and I just thought that a PET scan only every 2 years was very inadequate for somebody who had just beaten cancer in their 40s. similar thing happened to my mom, her cancer was supposedly in remission but because she was receiving improper cat scans it spread throughout her body without being detected until it was too late. cancer's a real shitty part of life, and pretty unavoidable. the only thing my dad and i could do for 5 years was bite the bullet and try to make her feel as comfortable, appreciated and loved as we could.

what fish do you have that are local right now? i'm not sure what's in season and that sort of thing but we seem to have an endless supply of fresh caught assorted bass and halibut as well as crustaceons and shellfish. apparently they even catch salmon, bonita, barracuda and yellowfins off the channel islands here. You'd be surprised how much of that is flown in... probably everything except the fish marked "fresh local" but even then some restaurants have a little trouble telling the truth. most of the salmon i've had lately was scottish farm salmon.

done with powerpoint for the summer! no more goddamn presentations to give, just a poster colloquium tomorrow and then i cashout friday. speaking of sea food it'll be time to dip into that stipend and treat myself to some of the local surf 'n turf. i get pretty spoiled living a mile from the greatest ocean on earth

cable companies are worthless. they're totally inept when it comes to equipment. i was having trouble with a cable box and the technician came out and told me my digital source filter/line conditioner was the problem... partsexpress should have reliable cables for cheap.

ouch, stay safe down there!

i haven't had a drink since june 13th internship ends next week though and i will have the resume building blocks and references i needed to acquire this summer, then it's time to fall back off the wagon in a major way (and burn the last $1500 stipend of the summer)

you need hdmi out on the cable box. that will solve the problem and you deserve digital video, you're paying for it right?

went well, not as many people in the audience as i had expected and i was able to handle most of the questions after my talk (which is what i was most worried about). just got two more weeks of internship and although interesting i must say academic research is not my cup of tea!

presentations today. i hope i don't blow it

i like ahi sashimi best

Tried Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops/etc.? i found a lot of choices @ REI but i was curious if anyone had some hands of experience with these things.
