    Last night vs. Minnesota: Travis Outlaw : 23 minutes, 7 points (3-7 FG), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. James Jones: 25 minutes, 12 points (4-8 FG/2-4 3PG), 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 turnovers.Jarret Jack: 30 minutes, 14 points (4-10 FG/2-5 3PG), 4 boards, 5 assists, 1 turnover.Channing Frye: 20 minutes, 13 points (5-10 FG), 7 boards (5 off boards), 2 assists, 1 steal.That's all bench, folks.As a team, Blazers shot 49.4% from the field, 42% from 3, 72% from the charity stripe.Pulled 47 boards, had a 28/12 Assist to Turnover Ratio, 8 steals and blocked 6 shots.That's some hustle and good decision-making in action.I am ecstatic about the development of Channing Frye and Travis Outlaw this season. Outlaw is *finally* becoming what he teased us about becoming for the last 3 years. James Jones is a solid pickup that we essentially stole from Phoenix, to fill in the role Ime Udoka played last year.Jarret Jack is 10x as deadly coming off the bench, and seems to be realizing he's still getting 30 minutes a night, and absolutely destroying the second-tier opposition when he first gets into the game. Seem to notice how we always seem to make that run in the second quarter? That's Jack, Outlaw, and Jones bringing it hard.Our only real worry at the moment is Webster, who may benefit by coming off the bench himself. I'd like to see us start James Jones at the 3, because, quite frankly, all Webster *is* is a shooter, and Jones is a better shooter than Webster, so why in gods name is Webster starting? Jones is 10x the defender and rebounder Webster is. If Webster isn't hot early, he's wasting space on the court. We spent a high pick to get him, and I sincerely hope that isn't factoring into this decision.
    i agree webster needs to start picking it up, probably would have benefited him to go to college but who in the hell is gonna go to college when looking at top ten draft money

    Thrift Savings PlanFrom what i have gathered lurking around topic forum is that some of you have some in depth knowledge about investments, for this reason i come to you for help/suggestions. I recently received a job working for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and I need to decide what area of the market I am going to put my money towards. I can put a max of 15 % of my check in with the government matching 5 % of that. The only advise i have received from people is to take some risks while you are young to try and accumulate a decent amount of money. I agree with this but still dont know which one of my six options would be the best(i know there are a few i wont probably use but i will list them for your sake)1. Life funds( a mix of stocks bonds and government securities based on your time horizon2. Government securities fund (obviously not as much risk but with an expectation of lower rates)3. Fixed Income investment (Fund that tracks the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index)? don't know what that is4. Common stock investment fund (fund that tracks the S & P's 500 stock index)5. Small Capitalization Stock Index Fund (tracks the Wilshire 4500 Completion index)6. International Stock Index fund (tracks Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE (europe, australia, far east) index.i know there was thread like this before but my options are different and sorry for the spelling mistakes i was in a hurrythank you for any words of wisdom you have in this matter as i have very limited knowledge regarding the stock market

    So OP, you're going to ask your fiance to put a car loan in her name, and you simply asked her how much she could get, rather than asking her once you have picked out a car.I've always thought you were most likely a piece of shit, but now I'd be willing to bet money on it.
    i didn't ask her to get the loan in her name she went to her bank and saw what she could get out of since my credit inst going to get me anything better than the piece of shit i drive, plus i am paying for the loan anyway so i don't see why it matters

    An eight thousand dollar car. Seriously. That sum isn't enough to get something nice, and your credit is shot, so forget the extra and get something plain, durable, and dependable and drive it until you get your lift together better and have credit of your own, a decent job, and a reason and ability to get a new car.
    thats the thing whats dependable for 8k

    About five years ago gramps bought me a 1989 jeep Commanche, I wasn't thrilled about the truck but it was a gift and it definitely was better than the piece of crap oldsmobile cutlass i was driving(when it ran). The car actually was in great condition when he bought it, i had never seen a commanche that was kept in such good shape(because usually when you see them they are thrashed) and to top it off it only had 48 thousand miles on the car. To make a long story short I have had an unbelievable amount of problems with the car and I just keep having to put money in to it. It is just not worth the amount of money I have to put in to it all the time. I decided i am going to cut my losses and get a newer used car.With my credit being crappy my fiannce and I plan on adding a loan to her current loan on her Honda, with me just giving her the money each month. The problem is the amount she qualifies for isn't very much ~14k. I really wanted to get a new full sized truck but that just isn't possible right now so i am going to have to settle for a car.So the question is, if you had 14k to spend on a car what would look for? The only prerequisites I have are it must seat more than two people(another reason Commanche is retarded) and have relatively few miles as I would like something that hasn't pounded a 100 thousand miles of concrete already.Which website is the best to find used vehicles?
