  1. My putting went to shit. I couldn't get out of my own head thinking of everything except just hitting the ball with the correct pace on the correct line. I'd think about my hands, was the trail hand too open or closed, try to squeeze your trail pectoral muscle on the stroke, how much weight I had on lead foot (was it 60%, 70%?), looking at which dimple on the ball, worried about take away, was it too far inside, too far outside, etc. I was a mental mess.

    Then one day I tried something on the practice green to help with my lag putt but ended helping a ton with my mental approach towards putting.

    Maybe this may help someone.

    I practiced taking a putting stance and instead of putting, I would roll balls towards the hole. Now that's my putting stroke thought when putting the ball. Just think of rolling with my hands a ball to the hole. This makes me instinctively just think of the actual ball roll, line, and pace instead of all that other shit.

    Now if I can find something similar for my wedge game which has become complete mental shit.

  2. Travis CAD election results. Zimm loses again.

    Three candidates backed by the local Democratic Party won seats to the Travis Central Appraisal District’s board of directors, who help manage property appraisals.

    Jett Hanna, Shenghao 'Daniel' Wang and Dick Lavine soundly defeated three others backed by the local Republican Party on Saturday, including Matt Mackowiak, chair of the party in Travis County, and Don Zimmerman, a former Austin City Council member.

  3. Does he have to pay the bills if he's in prison?

    Husband Unable to Pay Medical Bills Kills Wife in Her Hospital Bed: Police

    "The defendant advised he had attempted to kill the victim two other times while the victim was hospitalized," the court documents read. "The defendant advised he last attempted to kill the victim while the victim was at a rehabilitation facility for her medical issues. He advised at that time he tried to choke her but could not follow through with it. The defendant advised the victim woke up and told him not to do that again. The defendant advised he was going to try to kill the victim another time, but he did not get the opportunity due to the fact the victim was hooked up to several monitors at the hospital. The defendant advised he was depressed and killed the victim because he could not take care of her anymore and he could not pay the medical bills that had been acquired."

  4. I wonder what bet he lost to?

    If there is one writing rule Filoni abides by religiously, it is Chekhov's Gun. He obviously has plans to expand on that given we didn't get resolution in those series. 

     

    I thought the finale was great, even if the series didn't resonate with me lime The Clone Wars or Rebels.

    Musk hates Twitter.  He wants to destroy it.  These changes are just so weird, plus allowing back some of the people who had been banned (it wasn’t just Fuentes).

    He apparently hates Telsa too and IS destroying it. 

    SpaceX is too important for the government. At least now dipshit knows better than to be a derisive dick there and fuck with that company. But the question is, when X and Tesla fails, will he resist the urge to be the smartest guy in the room at SpaceX?

    Welp, enjoy it while you can.  I'd guess half of those moves never happen since you have to remain solvent and income free during a 1+ year construction project.  Most people have moved on by then to retirement or another opportunity. If they do move in, most don't survive because the average Austinite can't figure out where to park for ground level retail.

    I look forward to Hoover's joining the Austin airport's graveyard of mom and pop restaurants.

  8. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/video-shows-private-security-guards-administering-narcan-in-downtown-austin/

    “We administered 23 doses of Narcan between 16 people so far this week, with Monday being the busiest,” said a representative for Nxt Lvl Security, the firm hired to work downtown. “A normal week for our downtown team is 1-5 people with 1-2 doses each.”

    ATCEMS said it’s grateful groups like private security guards carry Narcan, and the agency said on several occasions – because someone else administered Narcan – patients are already starting to wake up by the time medics get there. However, ATCEMS also said many overdose cases require more than one dose of Narcan, so medics often also deliver subsequent rounds.

    “With this surge, they’re not necessarily attempting to take opioids. They’re using K2, crack cocaine, Xanax, a number of other substances,” ATCEMS Captain Christa Stedman said. “Whatever is doing this is making its way into everything, and that’s why we need people to be alert.”

    Private security hired last summer, in part, to deter illegal drug activity downtown

    The company was hired last year to patrol the following streets amid a staffing shortage at the Austin Police Department:

    The intersection of Sixth and Brazos Street

    The intersection of Sixth Street and Congress Avenue

    The 400-700 blocks of Sixth Street 

    These private security patrols began last summer. The businesses who hired them said the primary goal was to deter illegal drug activity and unruly behavior downtown.

    “Some building managers and owners have expressed needing constant security in these areas,” APD said in a statement when KXAN first asked about the security patrols last year. “APD cannot commit these resources to certain areas 24 hours a day/seven days a week, and is aware that some business owners and managers are opting to hire private security to ensure their businesses are protected.”

    Looks like I am in the minority.

    Love Ventress , dislike Omega.

    I also love Ahsoka, but thought the stand-alone series was weak.  

    Ventress and Ahsoka in the same series would be bad ass.

    If he keeps Omega (and Ventress) to animation, I have no doubt Filoni will create incredible stories and action for those 2 characters.

    I'd said many times that SW shows which have space battles and awesome Jedi shit is best told in animation. Last 2 eps of CW is perfect example. Live action Ahsoka sucked because light saber duels, Jedi being Jedi shit is severely gimped in live action. Andor works because it's a great writing and acting series which happens to be set in the SW universe but mostly doesn't have any of the Jedi shit. I wish Filoni would've kept Ahsoka in animation.

  10. Just fucking trash. None of the people in the video look like they would spend a single dollar in any of the clubs/bars/restaurants on 6th.

    I've said it before. Block off the whole area, charge $20 to get in, that $20 will be credited towards drinks or food. It's a win for the club, restaurant, and bar owners. That would keep most all of the trash away.

  11. It's prob the same dealer and his network selling the fucked up drugs.

    You see dealers dealing to the homeless. Oddly enough both times I saw it happen, the dealers were driving Dodge Chargers. Once was a dealer sitting in his car in the Freshplus parking lot in Crestview waiting for some tweaked out mofo get off a bus, walk over, buy some shit, and wander aimlessly down a sidewalk. Other time was at the Shell on 183/71 and Montopolis. Dealer pulls up in car, parks away from pumps. A few homeless people camping under the bridge walk over and buy some shit.

    I'm sure the cops know who all the dealers are in the city. I don't think it was hard to track down the tainted source.

    His first start, whenever it comes, is going to be a media circus supreme.

    Every game, every throw, every decision, every sack will get picked apart. He could be head and shoulders above everyone else and fuckheads like Kirk Bohls will vote for someone else to win the Heisman.

    I'd like to think you're correct but knowing the Mensa membership of NFL coaches and what they think a "flashy hire" like Deion could do for positive perception of THEM, not sure I fully agree.

    Edit - and say what you will about Prime Time, but his fucking grift game is top notch.

    What HC would be willing to put up with his "it's all about me" bullshit?

    *Cheko's

    I've been there . . . once.  My meal sucked.  Strangely, it never occurred to me that I might be able to run the check and beat the owner.

    I also once ate there. Once. I'm sure the check runners only will only ever eat there once. Seems to be a theme.

  15. Random thoughts.

    - The Bad Batch never really resonated with me as much as Filoni's other projects, especially compared to how Clone Wars ended (with the exception of Andor, imo the last 2 episodes are the best SW content created) and how awesome Rebels was in expanding many of the characters who are important to the current SW universe. In my mind, the last trilogy did not happen. 

    - Nala Se's redemption fell short for me. She and the Kaminoans enabled the Empire to rise when they created every Clone with the Order 66 chip. They knew what they were doing. I guess she realized how royally she screwed up but her sacrifice didn't redeem her in any way.

    - Glad they didn't bring back Tech and left him dead. 

    - I love that Filoni told the final story of the Clones, something probably no one ever thought to do or question. "What happened to the Clones after Order 66?" Well, he posed and answered that question. Dating back to Clone Wars, he went and told a complex story about how they were used and became human after the war. 

    - As stated above, I think the 2 important characters to survive this series into other series will be Omega and Ventress. Really excited to see how he grows those 2 characters and the other new characters he's going to introduce.

    The 6-year-old’s mother and grandmother both feared Gregor was abusing the boy, according to the affidavit. His mother took him to a pediatrician and to a hospital the day before he died because of bruising on his body, the affidavit explains.

    Both the mother and grandmother reported the alleged abuse to New Jersey’s Department of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) on numerous occasions, according to the affidavit.

    CNN reached out to DCP&P for comment Wednesday evening.

    Other instances of alleged abuse against the child were detailed in the affidavit.

    The child’s grandmother told police Gregor kept her grandson overnight against her will, and when he returned in the morning he had “blood on his shirt and mouth.” Separately, a past partner of Gregor told police that she observed Gregor throwing the child off a boat after getting angry while crabbing, later claiming he was just “rough housing,” according to the affidavit.

  17. More info. Douchebag and his wife were divorced. Reads like the poor kid was abused by this shitbag for a couple of years. The mother supposedly repeatedly reported the shitbag for abuse but looks like the state did nothing about it.

     

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/nj-v-christopher-gregor-treadmill-abuse-murder-trial/ar-AA1nBbw4

    OMS RIVER, N.J. (Court TV) — The trial is underway in the case of a New Jersey father who allegedly forced his six-year-old son to run on a treadmill because he believed the boy was “too fat.” The child later died of injuries believed to be sustained from chronic abuse.

    In court documents obtained by Court TV, investigators say surveillance footage from the fitness center at Gregor’s apartment complex shows Corey running on a treadmill as his father increases the speed on March 20, 2021. In the video, the boy stumbles and falls multiple times as he attempts to keep up. Gregor can be seen grabbing Corey by the shirt, and at one point, he appears to bite the child’s head.
    Two weeks later, on April 2, Gregor said he brought his son to a hospital after the boy woke up from a nap stumbling, slurring his words, and experiencing nausea and shortness of breath. Corey was taken for a CT scan, where he began having seizures. Lifesaving measures were taken, but Corey could not be saved.

    Dr. Dante Ragusa, an Ocean County medical examiner who performed an April 3 autopsy on Corey’s body, issued a finding on the cause of death: Blunt force injuries with cardiac and liver contusions with acute inflammation and sepsis. However, he did not rule on the manner of death; rather, he deemed it “undetermined.”

    It wasn’t until a consulting forensic pathologist reviewed the case in September 2021 that the manner of death was determined to be homicide. Dr. Thomas Andrew believes Corey suffered an acute traumatic injury to the heart 4-12 hours before his death. Dr. Andrew found what he described as evidence of chronic abuse, including blunt impact injuries of the chest and abdomen with laceration of the heart, left pulmonary contusion, laceration and contusion of the liver.

    Gregor was initially arrested for endangering the welfare of a child on July 7 for the treadmill incident. Authorities said he was “subsequently released as a consequence of New Jersey Bail Reform.” He was arrested for Corey’s murder on March 9, 2022.

    Clarification: Gregor was charged in two separate incidents, each having different charges associated with them. The treadmill incident, which resulted in a charge of child endangerment (Count 1), occurred on March 20, 2021. On April 2, 2021 (Count 2), Corey died of blunt force trauma; no treadmill was involved. The charge of causing Corey’s death is described as Gregor “knowingly caused serious bodily injury resulting in the death of another.”

    Gregor’s defense has also hired a consulting forensic pathologist who determined Corey’s manner of death was “natural.” Defense attorney Mario Gallucci clarified further in a written statement to Court TV that Corey’s death was caused by “complications from pneumonia.”

    At the time of his death, the boy’s mother and Gregor shared joint custody. According to reports, Gregor was not present in Corey’s life until he was four. Corey’s mother, Breanna Micciolo, said she reported Gregor for abuse over 100 times, but no one took action. Breanna has since sued the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency for failing to protect Corey properly.

    Gregor, who turned down a 30-year plea offer, is currently being held without bond in the Ocean County Jail. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
