Over at Yahoo, they’ve started a fantasy basketball mock draft for 08-09.
Now, I was working on a Big Board of GMTR Rankings… which I guess is essentially the same as a mock draft, but still, the difference in concept of Rankings vs. Mock Draft is an Evel Knievel-like chasm.

If so, someone should be watching this kid. Threats made during a recent time-out: “Dad, I’m not letting you read my book tonight. Mom is!”Pfft. All the less work for me, kid. “And you know what? I’m not gonna let you film me for your W8 Loss Wednesday videos anymore!”Well… maybe my weight loss journey is in and of itself interesting. At least I still have the dogs. “And I’m not opening any more beers for you!”Dammit! Now that’s hitting below the belt!
Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com had an interesting tidbit in his recent column.
“Only one player (wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery) remains from the Jets’ 17 draft picks chosen by the team in the 2003 and 2004 drafts.”
What a stat. Way to go Herm. By the way, Herm’s Chiefs have 13 picks in this year’s draft, with [...]

Let me start this post by posing a question....GENERALLY, what happens to rookie QB's that go into their first seasons tabbed as the starter? Unless you're Carson Palmer, normally not good things. To be fair here, with the reports coming out of USC, Palmer may have technically been playing pro ball anyway, or at least paid like a pro :-) That being said, any of the quarterbacks drafted this april, be it your Ryans, Brohms, Woodsons, all the way down to your Flaccos and Dixons, will not be able to step in and play the game at the NFL level. Now, there is no doubt in my mind that more than a couple will be good NFL QBS, but not without time to develop INTO NFL quarterbacks. I look at my hometown Baltimore Ravens as proof positive that this is the case. We traded 1700 picks to get to Kyle Bol
No Credit Check Personal LoansAll credits must clearly indicate whether they are available by sight payment, by deferred payment, by acceptance or by negotiation. This is especially true in the case of No Credit Check Personal loans. A payment credit provides that payment will be made to the beneficiary against the documents to be submitted by him. The documents are not accompanied by a Bill of Exchange; if there is one, it is drawn on the paying bank.In certain countries even sight drafts attract stamp duty. To avoid stamp duty the parties may agree for a payment credit. Therefore, payment credits normally avoid drawing bills of exchange. In a payment credit the issuing bank nominates a bank in the individual s country as the paying bank. If the paying bank accepts its nomination, its position is that of an agent of the issuing bank. When the documents under the credit are presented to it, it pays the beneficiary. It gets reimbursement from the issuing bank for the amount p
I'm starting to think that we should all adopt this approach to design... Think of the massive possabilities!This article is from The OnionStoner Architect Drafts All-Foyer MansionMINNEAPOLIS–In the oft-overlooked field of stoner architecture, new talent often goes unnoticed. But that hasn't been the case for Minneapolis stoner architect Richard "Dick" Donovan, whose groundbreaking design for an all-foyer mansion is earning slack-jawed admiration from some of the most respected members of the Twin Cities stoner-architecture community.Enlarge Image Stoner ArchitectThe blueprint for Richard Donovan's (inset) revolutionary all-foyer mansion.Donovan had won moderate recognition for past work, including his subterranean ranch house and his roofless A-frame. The 27-year-old's latest design, however, has won him unprecedented acclaim, hailed in the August issue of Stoner Architectural Digest as "the most absolutely f%#*ed-up shit to come along in years.""I was sitting around, bullshitti
For those of you in 12 team leagues, here are the recent results from the first 5 rounds of a mock draft I recently participated in on Sporting News, a good site for mock drafts.

So you could say I’m a little on the enthusiastic side of pumped. The fantasy football league that has evolved out of a mock draft that I did with some other bloggers is about to go live in a little less than two hours. I’m a little nervous because the electricity just went out here. Didn’t last long. I hate how Yahoo! doesn’t let you in until just before the draft. I want to get my queue going.
Below is the draft order…check those blogs out when you have a chance. They are good and I have a feeling that none of these people have killed any dogs. I will return after ward with some thoughts on how my draft shaped up.

It is reported that Producer/Writer James L. Brooks claims that there was an astonishing 166 drafts of The Simpsons Movie screenplay. That has to be a new record for Hollywood?
The Simpsons Movie has been received amazingly well the world over and is still doing well at the Box Office. The film was 18 years in the making and the 166 drafts goes to show that practice really does make perfect!

Banks and companies are in love with automatic drafts. Some even go so far as to require them. I firmly stay away. Why do banks love them so much?
It guarantees them payment. They control when you pay your bills, not you. Usually when you get your bill you have at least a week to pay it; with automatic payments they have the control.
It increases the odds of an overdraft. Your bank wants you to
…so I’m just going to post today, since everytime I write something and think about it nothing gets pushed to the front. Call it stage fright, I suppose.
What I’m thinking about today is earrings. Beautiful earrings, necklaces, rings…I’m on a jewelry run like no one’s business. Well, in my head anyway — summer is [...]

While everyone and their brother is trying to figure out who each team will take with their pick in the upcoming NFL draft, another annual football rite of passage is taking place. NFL teams are also separating the wheat from the chaff in their ongoing quest to put together the best squad of strippers cheerleaders to lead their team to victory.We have already chronicled the 49ers tryouts as well as the Broncos and Chargers. Now we are happy to report that three more squads are close to finalizing their selections.From the Professional Cheerleader Blog:Sunday afternoon at Arlington Draft House in front of a sell-out crowd the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders Auditions Finals were held. In a unique paegent-style format featuring cocktail dresses, swimsuits and dance routines fifty-one hopefuls gave it their all in an attempt to become a member of the "First Ladies of Football."Here's some of the talent that was on display: The Patriots are also in the final stages of selection.

At the yesterday's sitting of the government, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov gave in to the State Duma's deputies and widened the investment component of the budget to 640 billion rubles, simultaneously declining certain proposals of its own ministers.

Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has drafted a 60-page set of proposals for managing the development of robots. It is called the Draft Guidelines to Secure the Safe Performance of Next Generation Robots. The document will require robots to report any injuries they cause to humans they are safeguarding in a central database.
It also suggests that a special study group of industrialists, academics, ministry officials and lawyers be formed to finalize the rules on robot development.
As a country with an aging population and decreasing population of youngsters, Japan supposes it will not be long until robots fulfill roles needed to manage a household. Members of the Japan Robotics Association say it is "just months away," to the release of next-generation security patrol and nursing robots.
According to The Times, currently the Japanese "helper" robot market is estimated to be worth more than 10 billion yen or $83 million.

Found a piece of paper with a draft for a post and knew that a better idea would be to make more use of drafting my ideas on Blogger rather than loosing scraps of paper. The only problem with the draft posts on Blogger if I forget to change the date and time when posting it to the public, the post can be lost in earlier posts as the current time and date was never updated when editing the draft. A blogger called The Last Word that writes scripts for Greasemonkey for Firefox has come to the rescue with a keep current date and time for your draft posts script and the post can be found at Keep Current Date & Time On Posts. Before downloading and installing scrips it would be worth you reading this post at A Consuming Experience so that you are informed of what to expect. I am having no problems using this script and can see where it is going to save me a lot of time.It is a shame I can't find a script that will do all my holiday preparations and packing then that would leave me free to
