I have no math classes, no science classes, and on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have less than 2 hours of classes from 9:05 to 10:55. Nothing but social studies and history courses.

I had a semester with

class on Tuesday, 12-5:30 and that was all. It was great! However I quickly realized that, while I had nothing to do most of the week, everyone else had to go to class. it got a bit lonely sometimes.

About the same

I too bought new shoes (they are killing my feet right now, but what’s new? They are cute!). I also got drunk by myself watching the game. I was out with friends, but few girls share my excitement about basketball games so I ended up staying behind to finish the game while they went home (which is so funny to me). What else? Oh yeah, I went to that wedding. Nothing exciting there except free cheap beer. Now it’s Monday and I want to jump out of the window of my building just so I am not so bored. Slow day obviously.

Because I hate bicyclists. Well, not ALL bicyclists I should state, but THOSE ones. You know, the ones that pull out in front of your car, ride in the middle of a street like a car, but never come to a stop at the stoplight because they aren’t a car. And then they get mad at you when you almost hit them accidently-on-purpose (kidding of course) when they weave in and out of traffic. Hmmm…this is a tough one.

I was in Portland this summer

for the first time in 19 years, and the bicyclists made me really nervous to drive my car. I think all Portland drivers must feel the same way, because I don’t think I saw anyone speeding, changing lanes carelessly, or doing anything without double-checking to see whether they were about to run-down a bicyclist.

My paranoia level was similar to when I drive in downtown San Francisco, except there it’s because there are so many more cars, pedestrians, buses, trolleys, and cable cars. Plus lunatic bicycle couriers.

I didn't say that I had a problem

with the way the bicyclists were behaving, just that there were so many of them that I was worried I was not going to see one and run him over.

The thousands of bicyclists I ran across— er, saw during my two days in Portland generally obeyed the rules of the road. It doesn’t bug me when a biker runs a stop sign, cuts across multiple lanes, etc. as long as he does so safely and without inconveniencing drivers. You can see and hear traffic a lot better on a bike than in a car and it’s a pain to stop and start on a bike. Some legal leeway for bicyclists who use good judgment seems okay to me.

I did have a beef with a few bikers I saw who did not yield to pedestrians, cutting them off as they were stepping off curbs, blitzing past them at speed, and so on. Why, I saw one guy almost take out Brandon Roy at an intersection!

A mistake I made

Was NOT getting my math requirements out of the way while I still remembered a little bit of math crap from high school.

I waited till I was just getting graduation stuff out of the way and I was completely lost. I had forgotten everything I was allegedly taught involving math crap. Math is for losers.

If math is a strength, nevermind my suggestion. Since you seem happy not to have math class, I’ll assume you hate it as well and I strongly urge you to get it out of the way to make things easier in the long run.

Sorry, no "Rudy" jersey: Last name, and the first letter of the first name to make a decision possible

E.g. the Clippers will have three Davises on the roster, so their jerseys will read P. Davis, B. Davis and R. Davis.

Rudy would have to legally change his name, a la Nene. Even if he could get his first name, the jersey might have to read Rodolfo.

What about players from non-Western cultures?

I think Yao has his first name (which is also his surname) on his jersey. Ditto Ha Seung-Jin when he played.

by royroty on Aug 26, 2008 8:51 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

The surname (i.e. last name as Americans call it) needs to be on the jersey

The Chinese and Koreans (and likely some other cultures) put their family name first while Westerners put their given name first and then their family name. This gets kind of confusing as Americans are so used to thinking that last name = surname.

The rule is that the surname goes on the back of the jersey, unless you go through the hassle of legally changing your name to a single name like Nene did.

There is a possibility that we might get Darius off our books again even after he played in 10 games

If after that he is waived and basically has to retire for the same reason, it seems like we could go through the same procedure again to declare his injury “career ending” and get the then remaining salary off the cap. It also seems like this whole procedure has been mostly created for cases when a player attempts a comeback with his old team, not with a different one after being waived. And this is all never been done before, so there are little references for this whole thing. I posted the original text of the CBA relating to this under Ben’s first story about his interview with Mike Barrett. Maybe somebody can bring more light into this legalese than me.

That's the subtext / headline to the photo

Dream Matchup – They redeemed U.S. hoops and reclaimed gold. How does the ’08 team stack up to the Dream Team.

It makes sense that those three were on the 2004 team, but the question somewhat remains: What is Melo doing on a photo that likens them to arguably the top 3 guys of the Dream Team? He might have been the best guy in 2004, but in 2008 the top scorers on the Redeem Team were Wade, LeBron and Bryant, all close to each other and in that order.

I guess it’s merely based off of Melo’s 2006 run (where he played very well for the US team) and being in the same draft class as Wade and Lebron.

All 3 guys got barely any run in 2004. Larry Brown was an abomination of a coach during that Olympics (at least rotation wise). I rarely get angry at a coach and who he is playing (usually got their reasons I am not privy to), but he seemed downright idiotic and was treating it like he needed to teach some young bucks a lesson during a pre-season game, not the damn Olympics.

But yeah— the “redeeming” angle that most of the stories about the current USA team have focused on makes it logical to use Melo over Kobe; however, I agree that Kobe should be in that picture over Melo.

Melo is the modern day Bernard King, which is nothing to sneeze at. Phenomenal scorer. He gets more of a bum rap, playing wise, than he deserves but he isn’t at the level of the others. I guess that NCAA title still enables him to coast a bit and be considered one of them?

Oh well. Maybe it was as simple as being the best picture. Or whoever created the picture just saw 3 people he knows are famous and went with it. Maybe we are putting more thought and intent behind it than they did. I really don’t know.

But really, what do any of us know? Only that the Portland Trail Blazers are the greatest team ever. After that, life is but a mystery.

Interesting comparison ?

     BKing was a great pull up medium range shooter.
He was also a beast on the block for a SF. 6’6", good
frame, great turn around and would hit the offensive
boards. Ok defender, good on the break.
    Melo ? Also a prolific scorer, better deep shooter,
Ok rebounder, Ok defense. Team player ? Bigger guy !
      OK. They are similiar.

Birds Nest Stadium: Awe inspiring modern architecture or giant bedpan?

by lukeyhere on Aug 25, 2008 3:41 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

awe inspiring

Both the Water Cube and the Bird’s nest are phenomenal works of architecture. Neither could be considered decorative architecture, rather each is a new direction for architecture. The water cube was based on the cellular structure of water bubbles. It uses those same structural forms as opposed to the typical truss/columns found in most large venues. Same with the Birds nest…each curved structural members relies on all of the others to form one unit (the stadium) that is capable of expanding and contracting (temperature difference night and day), and sway and bounce (earthquake and wind loads). Again, instead of using more typical solutions and covering it up with something that looks _ (fill in the blank: traditional, modern, historic, brick, etc…), the architects chose an innovative approach to celebrate the architecture. I am tired of unimaginative architects and/or regulations dictating what architecture should resemble based on historical memories of what things were. That would be like the public telling Apple the I-phone can be filled with all of these amazing features, but must look like the plastic horn shape of yester-year.

When I was a kid I thought Patra was attractive.

Her first song was with Shabba Ranks I think. The old BOX channel (where people would order videos for money and the channel would play them) played a lot of him, and later her.

That was a good channel. Played a ton of stuff (unedited also) that you wouldn’t hear/see ANYWHERE.

I haven’t thought of her and Shabba Ranks in a while so I could be remembering things incorrectly. Hell, maybe Patra wasn’t even cute and I am just a wierd kid. Ok, I googled her picture and she looks how I remember. Not bad! Alright lil’ Mortimer, you weren’t too off base.

Again less space for Darius (no hard feelings, but you know how the situation is). ESPN lists Giddens to earn $957,120, Darius with $797,581. That brings the roster as it stands now to 14, with Bill Walker likely to also get a spot.
14 is not including Scott Pollard, Sam Cassell and P.J. Brown, who are all not very likely to return.

The point in the summer where you’ve pretty much done everything you’re going to do has came and went for me. Everybody except for me has already left to start up school again. I have to wait until the end of September. It’s tedious. The weather hasn’t even been summery lately. The most interesting thing as of late came today when I made my niece laugh for the first time in her life. She’s only like four months old, but that’s still an accomplishment. Are you listening to Bobby Brown right now? After admitting to being an After 7 fan, I assume you are. Probably “Every Little Step I Take.”

Ok im lying I have a couple of his hits on my IPOD. SHABBA! Wow that made me literally laugh out loud but one great thing happened after you mentioned that.. I immediatly had his name stuck in my head which was better than After 7.

My son really wants to go camping. I cant bring myself to do it. I have watched one too many movies and am convinced that a machette wielding, deformed , sociopathic mountain man is going to stalk us ,terrorize us and kill us. :( Yea, i know, weird but how do I explain that to 4 year old?

Bobby Brown was the man back in the day

In his Sports Illustrated For Kids biographical book (which I owned) Ken Griffey, Jr. said Bobby Brown was his favorite singer. I have several old Bobby Brown songs on iTunes too. Nothing wrong with that. I used to go camping and fishing all the time but I haven’t been since I was 17. When I about your son’s age, maybe a little younger, I was fishing with my dad in North Carolina and I hooked something. I couldn’t reel it in, so my dad did it for me. When I saw the fish, it had teeth and it scared me so much I ran away screaming. I refused to eat it that night at dinner. The closest I came to encountering a madman was a morbidly obese beagle named Bailey that would waddle around the campsites begging for food up at Silver Lake in Washington. She was so fat and her legs were so short that she couldn’t scratch her ears. She would try, realize it was hopeless, and then start crying. She has since passed on.

I wish I had the patience to explain the heat wars at my house

My brother is almost obese so he wants the ac on. Im freezing all the time (especially when it’s actually cold outside which normally warrents turning the heater on) we battle constatnly over it. For a time in highschool I was soo anemic I had to get introveinous (sp?) iron infusion b/c I was soooo anemic. I know im not that bad anymore but im sure that is the cause of my perpetual freezing-ness.

My parents used to take us camping all the time when we were kids. I just dont really know how to make a tent and fear I lack any patience to do so.

I am always surrounded by these menopausel women. It’s the place I work. They are all in their late 40’s to mid 50’s . There are NO men here. Well except the 70 yo owner and the half wit mail room clerk who is 40 and reads romance novels… (im not kidding either) . At least the place is downtown so I can get some good food real quick.

Speaking of food, im starving and need to decide Lamb Gyro or tacos..?

Hey hey

Where’s a good place to get a Gyro here in LA?

I haven’t seen it here anywhere (but I haven’t looked real hard), but the “doner kebabs” I would get when I lived in Germany were SO DAMN GOOD. That fake meat stuff, the yogurt dressing, the yumminess…

I’ve seen plenty of gyro places, but none of them seem to have what I’m looking for.

So maybe I don’t want a gyro, but I want a doner kebab. I dunno if they are one n’ the same or what. It’s kinda like a burrito.

The doner kebab gap between us and Europe will be our downfall.

The fillings

It looks like it is filled with the right stuff (minus those little red pepper0thingies, and the reddish-tint to the sauce), so it’s close!

What we’re talking about (doner kebabs) come in a sort of wrap, but not a tortilla wrap. Not sure what sort of wrap it is. It’s served like a burrito, with the fillings you show above.

Some places combine ketchup and yogurt sauce; I opted just for yogurt sauce. Some places also added (often stale) french fries to the wrap, and I always refused those. They were so yummy when done right, and the place next to my subway stop in Hamburg, Germany, was awesome.

"Can I have your livah?"

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
    And things seem hard or tough,
    [clunk]
    And people are stupid, obnoxious, or daft,
    And you feel that you’ve had quite enough,
    [boom]

    [singing]
    Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
    That’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned,
    A sun that is the source of all our power.
    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    Are moving at a million miles a day
    In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
    Of the galaxy we call the ‘Milky Way’.

    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
    It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side.
    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
    But out by us, it’s just three thousand light years wide.
    We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
    We go ’round every two hundred million years,
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    In this amazing and expanding universe.
    [boom]
    [slurp]

    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
    In all of the directions it can whizz
    As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
    Twelve million miles a minute, and that’s the fastest speed there is.
    So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
    How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space,
    ‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.
    [clunk]
MRS. BROWN:
    [sigh] Makes you feel so, sort of, insignificant, doesn’t it?
MAN:
    Yeah. Yeah. [sniff] Can we have your liver, then?

    Yeah. All right. You talked me into it.

Oh Spain

http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sporting_blog/entry/view/11178/gold_medal_game_affected_by_rule_changes_that_havent_happened_yet

http://www.sportsya.com/english/news.php/United_States_claimed_Gold_in_Mens_Basketball_Olympic_Final_with_win_over_Spain.html?id_estruc=283&id=186033

Both links I found via the NBA Fanhouse.

Both links are about Spanish national team players complaining about the officiating and saying they woulda’ won if it wasn’t for the bad refs (who are always bad).

I’ll buy the fact that the refs weren’t calling travels like normal. The Spanish players were still complaining on plays were there clearly was no travel, and getting out of line— at least by US standards. If our guys were acting like that or responding to the loss like this, whoooo boy.

C’mon Spain, it was a great game! You guys played terrific! Nothing wrong with silver, especially against a US team that had been playing very well.

Mortimer

by Mortimer on Aug 26, 2008 6:28 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

yeah

I haven’t watched all that many international games (I’d like to watch more though!) so I’ll take our Spanish friends word for it that traveling is called much more tightly in the EuroLeague than it was during the Olympics. However, I thought the Spanish players were arguing for travels even when there wasn’t one at all.

Comments like those are disappointing. There were plenty of bad calls both ways (ie Marc Gasol throwing a US player- Bosh I think- to the ground, allowing Pau a wide open jumper).

Spain played brilliantly and has everything to be proud of. Its absolutely true that a few calls one way or another could have affected the game, but throwing towels during the game and blaming the refs after the game is a bit lame.

The same old song

Europeans(me too) are always claiming when our respective country plays against USA because of the travel(especially). But believe me when i say if referees call travel like in Europe it would mean in about 8-10 TO’s for USA team. Yes, the other countries make travel too, being NBA players most of they, but could mean in 2-4 TO’s at worst case. Thath would mean in 4-8 possessions less for USA and plus for the opponent (about 10 points). So that would be a considerable help. There had been another claimings like pushing in the zone, 3 seconds violation or smacking when trying to steal the ball. BUT:
I don’t agree with Calderón in “We would have won”: Who knows if we would have won?? Nobody. The game would have been more dramatic?? Sure. Spain would have had more options to win?? Sure.
About Reyes: he’s always claiming about the refs, in spanish league, european, international, … (In NBA would mean a ban, not in Europe if he doesn’t offend refs). But we love him because he’s a Gladiator in the zone.
NOTE: the exception of this theory was in Athens, refs were very good at that tournament.
NOTE2: refs are usually very bad(in both sides of Atlantic).

What people will remember about that game is it’s was the best final in Olympics(did you see the score??) and both teams played with passion and an inredible amount of talent and skills to score.
What Portland fans will remember about that game is "Do you remember when Rudy posterized Howard? Yes, that was sick. It was the begining of our dinasty. ;-)

… have to consider the possibility that the US team would have adjusted after the first 2-3 traveling calls. It is always the players responsibility to adjust to how the game is being called (ie tightly or loosely).
