    http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/Former-NBA-top-10-draft-pick-Lorenzen-Wright-missing-072310 I hope for the best, but it's typically not a good sign when somebody is missing for 6 days. Prayers for him and his family.

    Sad News: Sierra Pacific to Close Camino and Sonora Mills

    This is very sad news. I've lived in the Placerville/Camino area my entire life, and the mill was one of those things that defined the community. The closure at Camino will put 164 folks out of work and the closure in Sonora will lay off 146. I don't see a very bright future for Camino at this...

    Cold Remedies...

    Okay, so I'm sick now for the third time in 7 weeks. I'm very sick of being sick. Does anybody have any personal cold remedies that they could share? I don't care if they're natural, over the counter, wacky, crazy, extreme, redneck, ethnic, voodoo, or Canadian. The worst part of the entire...

    Amgen Tour of California

    Anybody follow cycling at all? I was out at the prologue today, and it was a blast seeing Levi, Floyd, Lance, and George Hincapie race, even if they didn't win. Despite only being in its fourth year, it's quickly gaining popularity and acceptance as a premier tour (already recognized as the...

    True NBA Player Heights

    After posting in the Jason Thompson prank thread over on the main Kings forum, I got curious about true NBA player heights and did a little research. Here is a decent article on some famous players heights, from the exaggerated Charles Barkley (reported 6'6", truly a little over 6'4"), to the...

    Anthony...33 points in quarter.

    That's incredible...I just wish I had watched the game. He finished with 45. What has to happen for a player to have a quarter like that? Lack of defense? Insanely hot shooting streak?

    Improv Everywhere - Clever Stuff

    Ever heard of these guys? They're based in New York, but put on "performances" all across the country. Basically, the premise is that they go out in public and deliberately make a 'scene' (though usually not offensive), to "take people out of their everyday routines." 1. "Food Court Musical"...

    The Creepiest Kid's Show Ever

    Seriously, don't watch this if you are easily disturbed. It's not bloody, violent, foul, or sexually explicit, it's just bizarre. I get creeped out by it and I'm 22, and it's meant for little kids! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqi5F5MqqTQ

    Thar Be Bears In Them There Hills

    So I live in Placerville...It's 1:10 in the morning, about 5 minutes ago I stepped out my front door to find a Bear and her 3 cubs rummaging through my trash cans on my front porch (as I opened the door, the cub almost fell on me because he/she was leaning on the door). I immediately grabbed my...

    Warning: Post contains wild speculations and/or discussion of events that may or may not take place. It is way too early in the season to speculate about our final record, and impossible to predict the outcome of the lottery. It’s even more difficult to predict how Geoff Petrie’s mind works...

    Frontcourt vs. Backcourt Superstars

    So…the other day I was thinking about what exactly the criteria should be for an impact player. Not necessarily who puts up the best numbers, but what sorts of players actually contribute the most towards winning games. With all things being equal (talent, skill, etc.), who actually impacts a...

    How do you drive?

    Well, out of sheer curiosity, I thought I'd make a poll to see how fast everyone drives, especially since most of us live in California and must drive to get anywhere. Personally, I drive fast, but will not cut people off, pull out in front of people, or turn without signaling, and become...
