special sits (oaktree ssg, gso, kkr special sits, tpg sixth street partner)
anyone have any thoughts about the differences between the above mentioned groups (outside of aum)? obviously gso has underperformed lately, but i haven't heard very much about oaktree ssg nor kkr special sits. also any tips on evaluating the strength of distressed players/groups when recruiting?
it's also important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of your personality / work style. mf credit arms will behave more like banking/pe where you work in deal teams, iterative processes, and driving towards pushing out a collective work product. personalities tend to be much more conformist, clean cut, vanilla professionals that are competent enough but nothing special.
independent hfs have much less structure, although this is obviously a broad generalization. much more likely that you will have people that are somewhat of misfits socially, weird, and have hard edges.
well kelly onlyk had a amazing summer league performance and is looking to be huge offensive center threat very soon, so he'll start.

bradley wants to play pg for you guys and seeing as rondos injured he might get the gig especially if you trade rondo for draft picks (sorry but it could happen)

brandon bass has been progressing nicely so assuming he'll take 6th man

apparently you guys arent tanking but.....i dont think you have a choice

josh smith in detroit
mike miller with grizzlies
kobe, rondo, westbrook, rose all coming back off injuries
houston landed dwight howard
gsw have signed seth curry (stephs younger brother from college) and andre igoulada
nate robinson is with ty lawson now to form a dynamite small combo
d-wade, king james and the dinosaur contracts are all expiring next year
okc got rid of nearly everyone one but kd, westbrook and lamb 
and chicago bulls are gonna win the title ;)

#bullsnation peyton manning. tom brady, joe montana (except for that one in 1990 in the nfc title game), terry bradshaw (in his prime, when he came in he got leveled and when he got out, it was the same way), troy aikman (except for his last few years), phillip rivers, and list could go on. it is not about statistics over a career because a qb could be on his back alot one year, but standing tall the next. it really depends on the o-line and the offensive schemes. even dan marino spent a couple of years where he was running around (remember all the padding he used to wear in the late 90's). I don`t know why they feel that way.   

  

The 90`s had some of the best compition in any era.More than now,or 60-8`s.They had some of the craziest teams to play with,John stockton and karl malone`s jazz.Isiah thomas`s pistons.Reggie millers pacers.Magic`s lakers.Birds heat.The orlando magic.   

  

They just find it hard to believe that some guy is the GOAT and there favorite player is not good as that player.Witch he is,Everyone need a good team,Kobe lebron is chasing one,so why only bash micheal jordan for that and none of the other teams?There being indenial the he isnt good.'   

  

I mean just look at some of this defence he had to play against,hand checking and what now [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xJJNUkrd...](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xJJNUkrdyQ) it was very phiscal defence back than,20 times harder to score on the defence.   

  

Not only being defended they had to gaurd some of the best players,and hardest to gaurd   

tockton, Larry Jhonson, Allan Houston, Reggie Miller, Bernard King, Magic johnson, Adrian Dantley, Kevin Johnson,larry bird:all very hard to gaurd and great scorers   

  

So the COMPITION is severly underated beck in the 90`s for it is harder than now,or before,perhaps the hardest eras of them all,im a youngster,but i understand the facts unlike the rest of the people who dont. it all varies depending on the team.if you’re close to production, pressure is high. outside of this there are a lot of variation, but in general people are working a lot. this is not really that there are explicit pressure to work long hours but many are very committed , and i think that when you are joining a team you’re more likely to pick up the same rythme.in terms of compensation, it depends on the role / the team and how much they want you after the on-site, but they will in general align on other offers you may have (from google/fb/apple/amazon/...) if ml is what your looking for , the software or watson groups would be better compared to the garage teams i think some people have not been equipped with the coping or social skills to create and maintain healthy relationships. yet, one can develop social skills by accepting that although a group of people are related by blood, they are not automatically healthy or beneficial for all. 
one can create new, healthy relationships by reshaping their outlook, possibly with the help of therapy, and taking up new hobbies for adults....joining co-ed groups to meet both males and females and not only will this be fun, but this will provide the healthy socialization adults benefit from. some people are introverts, which psychology has adjusted to mean where u get ur energy from. like, an extrovert get energy and life from interacting with lots of people and feels uplifted and empowered by this, whereas introverts can actually be social as well, but prefer limitied amounts as too much interaction makes them feel drained. it does not mean the socially awkard kid who people have only say one word, two years ago, sitting in the basement with no friends. do not fire cashman, it is not his fault that the people who were supposed to do their job choked up, you cannot go into the playoffs when all season lomg you are splitting series with teams that should be eating your dust. a-rod needs to stop choking up when there are players in scoring position, damon needs to be more consistent, giambi needs a wake up call, we need to improve the bull pen, and fill in the gaps in the line up, too many people not performing, we are going to see some things shook up in the off seasonand i for one am looking forward to next season. hi lg, <br>it&#39;ll be interesting to see ( after the weekend, when most readers will be back ) what other people think of the situation you describe. it sounds as if your parents probably are a bit too strict, but with all they hear and see of the dangers of the world today, one can understand their fears  and its even worse when parents don&#39;t care at all. sometimes they may seem to be hypocritical, when they&#39;re actually trying to get you to avoid mistakes they made. your sister sounds immature and spiteful. what would they think if you said you wanted to see a shrink or counsellor to work on the problems they have identified in your behaviour ? ( that way, it makes it harder for them to object  and indeed these diferent perceptions of what is a "problem") ought to be part of what you&#39;d discuss with a counsellor. be cautious about your overdose idea  apart from the obvious dangers to yourself, it&#39;d surely also give them much sronger grounds for being even stricter, which is the exact opposite of what you want to achieve. genetic and environmental pressure to be stronger
group isolation
good nutrition
culling of those less strong, etc. try calling famsa, which can suggest a number of counsellors in your area, and has some knowledge of costs, and which can make some adjustment according to earnings. i&#39;d also recommend that you seek a counsellor who will deal with all your current problems, and avoid one that would wan to focus too exclusively on abuse issues  they too often are too busy riding their own hobby-horse that they dont&#39; deal so well with your needs
