Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward of all time. 4x champion, 3x finals MVP, 2x NBA MVP, 13x all star, 9x first team all NBA, 8x all defensive first team, rookie of the year, college player of the year, the list goes on and on

I'm hoping so. I've long felt that skating felt more like Madden on Ice than hockey. I think forward should be forward skating and backward should be backwards (duh). Left or right for a hard turn. Then forward left for forwards crossovers to the left, backwards left for backwards crossovers. Press down on the stick to stop.

So if you held forward left you'd just go in circles around the dots. Your going forwards and need to stop and transition backwards while facing the puck? Forwards, press down+direction you want to face, release button and then backwards for backwards crossovers into full crossovers.

I think it'd be pretty slick

Interesting. Just a guess or you basing that on something? People close to the Louisville program seem quite confident they'll be in regardless of them adding two or four teams.

my thoughts too. if 95% of us didn't watch it via DVR, Hulu or pirate the thing it would be renewed. But as it stands the only difference to me is going to be the day it shows up to watch.

I live in a neighborhood with far worse front lawns. Push power is definitely the tool of choice. Safer too.

true, but the speed school kids are coming in with Junior Dev level talent yet still expect the same salaries that people with 6 or 8 years of dev experience are expecting. Don't get me wrong, they have load of potential, but my company isn't huge on paying a kid with no real work experience a senior level salary with a resume that matches someone we could pay half what they are asking.

We'd love to give these kids a job and let them grow into that role. But they gotta lower their expectations. So if you know anyone in the Louisville area looking for .NET work with tons of room to grow working with the latest technologies (windows 8, .net 4.5, RavenDB, MVC, low level features Hyper-V, Cisco UCS automation, etc are feature heavily in our apps) in a laid back environment we have boat loads of opportunities. But they gotta keep in mind we aren't paying them six figures to learn on the job.

sounds like you might be talking about the Falls of the Ohio State Park.

My favorite place to do that would Otter Creek Park which is about 45 minutes outside of Louisville. They had a restaurant that overlooked the river bend. Amazingly peaceful, but I haven't been back there in years. I know the state park took over the place from Metro Parks so I'm not even sure what is still open

posted this in another thread that someone else started on the same topic, so I'll just copy and paste here in case you miss that one:

My typical tourist destinations to get a real feel of Louisville would be these items (all pretty close to downtown Louisville):

Louisville Slugger Museum
Churchill Downs Museum (great at this time of year)
Muhammad Ali Museum
Colonel Sanders Grave at Cave Hill
Grab a drink at the Sealbach Hotel Bar (a favorite of F Scott Fitzgerald)
Get a hot brown at the Brown Hotel

Some of the more unique bars that Louisville has to offer would be the Holy Grale, an old church converted into a tavern and Sergio's World of Beer. Against the Grain is also a brewery that is part of Slugger Stadium that has some nice beers and some decent vegatarian options. For food I'd head down to Market Street and check out the "Nulu" restaraunt scene.

depends on your budget. if you can afford it, I'd highly recommend staying at 21C. Secondarily the Brown Hotel is pretty awesome. Neither are cheap though (think around $200 a night). If you are the type that think a hotel is only for crashing after a long night obviously they aren't great choices. I know people that have stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Spring Hill suites for weddings and they were both relatively nice and like a $2 cab ride from the main strip of downtown.

After hearing nothing but good experiences from people that shopped at Carmax I did the same. Got my car shipped from Nashville for $99 (I hate driving anything but manuals so getting the car I wanted wasn't easy), did a test drive a few days later and then an hour later I was driving home with my new car. I have more difficulty getting through the checkout lines at kroger some days than I did buying this thing.

Sure I probably could have gotten it for $500 cheaper if I would have spent days fighting with sleazy ball managers and poor sales guys desperate to make a quota, but that was well worth the extra money for the ease of transaction.

Seemed like the article wasn't implying that people left because Zynga bought it at all.

Every time I see it brought up people lament that the DRM is so over the top and invasive that they won't buy it. I've never given it a shot because of that too.

ah, the traditional Back Door recommendation. Listen, you've already been to the back door in your city. Lots of regulars, grumpy bartenders who over poor everything, a patio for smoking, some pool tables, and food that tastes great because it is fried and you are tanked. I get people liking going to the backdoor - lord knows I've had my share of wings and drinks there.

But I have no idea what reddit's obsession with recommending it to tourists is. It really isn't anything special and exists in every city in america. Luckily you'll be on a nice strip of bars to either side of you. AND even better the TARC (our local metro bus) is running for free all night long thanks to Miller Lite. I'd use the backdoor as a homebase thanks to the amply parking and ability to get you drunk quick, but then quickly venture out. To either side of you are far more unique and interesting places to visit.

Louisville, KY checking in. Also in the same boat. Only people we could find were referrals that we talked into leaving their current job. No one on the job market seems to have any skills beyond the basics.

true. i liked their idea quite a bit at first, but they definitely went the route of restoring classic cars vs a place for people to be able to work on their dailies. I think their idea minus the storage would be great.
