Some of you probably listen to radio out of your home market via the ESPN Radio app for iOS and Android. This paid for app will lose it's functionality through a "free" "upgrade". This upgrade (v4.0) is not free, because you will have to pay another $4.99 to use the app to stream radio after 14 days, and it's not an upgrade, because it strips the ability to listen to radio streams.

Furthermore, even if you don't update the app, the streaming radio function in v3.x will be eliminated 8/1/12, even though I paid for this functionality when I initially purchased the app.

Anyway, just wanted to give a heads up.

Also, you can also use Tunein Radio (free) to listen to out of market radio on our phone. ]]> Football rathokan http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59090 Women tennis adv to round of 8 http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59089&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 16:50:24 GMT They just defeated Georgia Tech 4-0.

Based on the timeline of events, T. Martin had ~2 minutes from when he started to run (after the 1st of 2 confrontations) from where Zimmerman's vehicle was parked to Brandy Green's residence, a distance of only about 105 yards. Instead, for unknown reasons Martin seems to have doubled back in the opposite direction back to where Zimmerman and his vehicle were located and confronted Zimmerman a 2nd time about 30 yards away from the vehicle. ]]> Football Nasal Mucus Goldenbear http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59088 Most Important Game this Season? http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59087&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 16:28:44 GMT Ted Miller posted Cal's entry for his Most Important Game series and I was impressed with his level of understanding of Cal Nation.

http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_...ame-california

I hadn't figured the tOSU game as most important because it is non-conference and I think Cal's goals this year revolve more around how they handle the conference schedule.

Miller passes on the Big Game for being most important - thinking it's too obvious, and maybe it is, but I think a win against USC would have the biggest impact on not just this season, but on the perceived trajectory of the program. Of course the SC game is also the most improbable win, but I want to see a Cal performance that if not a win, at least was winnable in the last possession and shows the grit that has been most lacking of late.

Curious which game others think is most important. ]]> Football drizzlybears brother http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59087 Two WSU recruits not qualifying? http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59086&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 15:07:11 GMT from ESPN:

No? Ah well, sorry to intrude, just had to ask.

See folks, there's this at least decent (haven't finished yet) nearly hour long documentary currently playing OD on HBO thru May 28, focused on internet dating.

"When Strangers Click" has 5 separate ~10 minute standalone interviews about how folks' personal experience played out. It was made by Robert Kenner, Oscar nominated director of "Food, Inc". More particulars here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1822369/combined

The first episode followed a lady to Europe where she married a never before met Russian internet buddy, who surprised her by not speaking English. Spoiler: He was very accomplished using Google-Translate

The 2nd was a country boy who eventually discovered his persistent gay chat pursuer was the self-affirmed conservative Republican mayor of Spokane.

But the 3rd segment, 18 minutes in, had me riveted from the much earlier opening credits, since Dave was interviewed while wearing a vintage "The Play" '82 Tee. His net romances persisted thru at least 6 hit and miss lady encounters, till he met TheOne: Teresa.

Dave turned to chat in 1992 NYC as an unpaid 24 y.o. grad student. His computer was his best friend, then he bloomed. What a brave and adventurous fella.. I salute him. More recently according to the trailing credits he's teaching Interactive Design somewhere.

Trailing quotation from his segment was this..
Quote:
A recent study of online dates concluded for every inch under 5'10" a man must make an additional $40,000 per year to be as equally attractive as their taller counterparts.
Very VERY late 5th part add: A clever Swedish fella created a personal Avatar in the MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) "Second Life" world, set a richly simulated bar scene where he sings for ladies and gents, channeling his decades younger primal self towards bliss. Golden internet love blooms here too.


Now for something completely different, Monty Python style:

By far my own personal over the double-rainbow favorite Avatar music vid, a couple years old now, is this 20 Million views singalong from Felicia Day, "DrHorrible" sweetie, nobly assisted by "Marvel's Avengers" Joss Whedon's talented musical bro Jed. I'm smitten by this video DoYouWantToDateMyAvatar, even more affection than for Oski's sister.

DYWTDMYA came from FD's quirky popular internet-only 5 season web-series "The Guild" (free on YT), apparently cancelled now.

Feel free to turn your speakers up to 11, and beyond, channeling the love:

I've always kind of liked Berkeley being Berkeley, but I don't get this at all.. For 30 years this house on 9th St. has been known as a haven for drug dealing and other nefarious activity. Why does it take legislators to deal with it? They already have; the things everyone knows are going on in there are illegal, at the state and federal level. So why don't the cops just go on in, collect some evidence and arrest the lot of them? ]]> Football BearyWhite http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59077
