The article does a nice job of pointing out that local knowledge is important no matter who you are.
I have worked on a few cases in front of a judge in SDNY that has some interesting idiosyncrasies in bench trials (direct exam is done on the papers and not conducted live, she sometimes writes a draft or outline of the opinion and presents it to counsel at the pre-trial conference so counsel know which way she is leaning, etc.). Its different, but if you know what is coming you can adjust accordingly. At the end of the day, she is a great judge, but I have seen opposing counsel get a bit petulant (which is what the govt is accused of here) because they had never tried cases in front of her before and were not prepared for some of the idiosyncrasies.

These were my takeaways:
1. It's going to be a few matches before we fully see the difference between Emery's and Wenger's systems.
2. It was a better loss to a clearly superior city team vs. how we lost to them last year.
3. For every great pass Gouendouzi makes, there's two lapses in concentration. He's enthusiastic, which is nice, but it will cost us goals in the process.
4. Torreira needs to play of ahead of Gouendouzi.
5. Lichsteiner looks like he still has a some gas in the tank and could be a shrewd piece of business done by Mslintat and co.
6. Never seen Cech so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. How soon do we see Leno?
7. Mesut Ozil gonna Mesut Ozil. You have to wonder if all the off the field stuff is getting to him. Where is the player that had 19 Assists just a couple of years ago?
8. We really need to finish the chances we get when we're playing a team like city. There were enough quality chances to have won or in the least tied that match.
9. Mustafi didn't have any huge mental mistakes. Perhaps having Sokartis and Lichsteiner playing with him makes him more focused.
10. I'd like to see Emile Smith-Rowe get some run of minutes when Ramsey inevitably gets injured.
Agree on most points. However, to point #4, I thought Gouendouzi looked better than Xhaka. I would not mind seeing him as an alternate to Xhaka in games where we need more of an athletic presence. I think Torriera as a 6 and him as an 8 could be intriguing. If he can get away from some of the mistakes, he has the tools to be really good.
On #10, I don't think ESR is ready and we are not exactly lacking for attacking mids. He had some serious bright spots in preseason, but would also disappear for large portions of the games. I think we will see him in meaningless cup games, but I will surprised if we see much more than that this year.

Such a cool boat. Does it have a tunnel?

Love it! Texas is so lucky to have rios and Guadalupe bass. Two great fly rod species and very few people targeting them.

Those three all have ok (but not great) bbq. Stiles Switch can be a bit inconsistent, but its good days are better than the other two. Freedmens used to be a bit better, but I think they have gone through a few different pitmasters. And the love for TB's on this thread is a bit of a mystery to me.
Putting the food aside, Freedmen's has a much cooler ambiance, a bar, etc. Overall its probably the best place to have a relaxing dinner with your out of town friends.

I am surprised he can even walk at this point . . . hope the guy makes a great comeback. He was fantastic in his prime.

No, I don't think so. You know, futureman, one day I believe that you're going to wake up and realize you no longer have a brother. And you no longer have any friends. And on that day I'm gonna be standing front and center just laughing my fucking head off.

A solid navy or dark grey is appropriate for a funeral or wedding. Just keep the shirt plain (white or light blue) and you will be fine in pretty much any setting. A dark wool suit to a summer wedding in Texas can be a bit warm though.
-
Do you know what style of suits you prefer? You should probably do some research before investing in a good suit. Figure out what you like in terms of the shape of the shoulder (natural vs. a little padding), lapel width, number of buttons, vents, etc.
If you want to go on the lower end, I would probably try SuitSupply. If I were going to spend a bit more, I would probably go to Houston or Dallas and go somewhere like Sid Mashburn.

Considering that federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, they get a shit-ton of lawsuits and criminal cases and there are relatively few federal judges. They have very few days of trial time to use in a given year and a whole lot of cases to use it on. I have found that they are extremely conscious of using very limited trial time wisely. Therefore, they tend not to be indulgent of meandering counsel or witnesses. They are not likely to "let you try your own case."
Generally true. But in this case the judge is old AF and on senior status, so I doubt his case load is too heavy.

Dos Batos is a good option for the keto folks. They do a taco with a tortilla made out of cheese. I dig it.
-
There are already a lot of options, but some of the better options seem to always be exceptionally crowded (e.g., El Dorado, Cabo Bob's, Hopdoddy). There are a ton of people living in NW Hills, Allandale and Crestview that eat on W. Anderson. The area could support more restaurants.

Never tried one and probably never will. A friend's mom was permanently paralyzed by a chiro. I have heard multiple real doctors say that think chiros should be illegal because they cause more injuries than they fix (especially for women and children).

If you are thinking backpacking rather than day hiking, it would also be worth looking at the Oachita trail, which starts in eastern OK. Not much further of a drive from DFW and very pretty in the fall. A very different landscape than the Wichitas though . . . and not as much cool wildlife.
-
The Charon's Garden area of the Wichita's has solid hiking. The de facto place to eat in the area is probably Meers.
BTW, the nearest town is Lawton, which is considered a complete shit hole . . . even by Oklahoma standards

I watched Winter on Fire last night based on this thread.
Really interesting to see Putin's strategy of keeping the Ukraine from the EU and then to think about how that compares to Brexit and our own current situation in the US (trade wars, Nato, etc.). Pretty consistent strategy for weakening the west. Also, I went from hoping Manafort flips on Trump to hoping they throw everything they can at Manafort. No mercy for that guy.

If you want to try something similar, yellowbird makes a blue agave sriracha (and a few other great hot sauces). It may be just different enough to rekindle your interest.

I will admit to having eaten bbq in London on multiple occasions while studying abroad . . . there used to be a KC style bbq place where expats would congregate to watch college football. Not something I would do if visiting though. On future trips to London I plan to just eat Indian food at every opportunity.

i wouldn't say it's likely, as he's still young; he just has an uphill battle that requires a lot of health and success before he looks like a viable player for us again. that said his composure on the ball and first touch are things that this team has sorely lacked ever since i can remember, so i hope he can get it together and become a serviceable deep lying mf for us.
I hope Zelalem goes out on loan this year. Glad to see him up and running again, but there seem to be a lot of other young guys ahead of him in the pecking order in the Arsenal midfield. Not a lot of playing time in his future if he stays . . . even in meaningless cup games.

This seems like sound advise.
I am not at the point of tying my own flies yet. But it does interest me. I have watched a few videos on various ties but I am not committed enough to start buying the tie gear.
Its fun, even if you never get really good at it. Definitely start with Clousers. They are relatively easy to tie. Once you learn a basic Clouser, there are a ton of different variations/materials/color combinations you can experiment with. And its a pattern that will reliably catch bass and any Texas saltwater fish.
For bass in tanks, I like to use divers. I either buy dahlberg divers (too much of a pain to tie) or tie something similar with a foam body. The Lunch Money is another bass fly worth checking out (created by a bass fisherman in Austin for central tx waters).

No. That is a win-win choice. Of course you could have done breakfast at Valentina's and lunch at Mickelthwaits.
