10/12/09 Junk...FFB edition

 

So, I might lose one of my FFB matchups this week because Reggie Wayne dropped an easy TD pass... SMH.  My other team punished though... jealous? 

To stay on the fantasy sports theme, I would really like to join a Bedge/junkster basketball league.  Lets get this thing goin!  I can start it up if need be, but I am lazy, so... you know... 

Junksters, proceed to talk about nothing and everything at the same time, that's what this thread is for...

 

GO BLAZERS!!!!

I expect this poll to be a landslide, BTW….

I might lose because Jacksonville deactivated Sims-Walker (their best player at the moment)

I hate it. I didn’t know it, and even if I did it probably wouldn’t have helped much because my third WR had a bye week. But I might have been able to waive my kicker and get some scrub replacement who at least makes 5 points. And to have a good fight, I even informed my opponent (Dougall) that he didn’t have his lineups set. Smh. I really needed this win.

I was trying to put in another WR over Sims-Walker today who still plays, but the system doesn’t let me :)
I’ll watch and hope Ginn produces nothing like a number of other players or gets run over on the first action. Likely I’ll fall asleep, and when I wake up Ginn has produced exactly 3 points and i have lost.

Blue shirt, blue headband, blue background, I think white guitar, shot from below looking up at him. Might have been a multicolored headband.

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

My finger nails are falling off

Remember how I had chemical burns from the hydrogen peroxide I used to clean up Mercury’s tumor blood?

The burns stopped hurting after about a week, but now my fingernails have slowly gotten looser and looser. It’s really quite unsettling, as they don’t really hurt but just feel really unstable.

Well, they hurt when pressed or when I try to use a finger nail to pick at something or if something slides under my nail accidentally. It just feels so weird. I’m assuming whatever connects nail to finger died from the burn and soon they’ll come off and I’ll have new fancy fingernails.

I think that the shift from journalism towards opinion had started before the Internetz became huge

The intenet has accelerated it, but it really started once the cable news stations started to proliferate. They (all, not only Fox News) quickly realized what the best return on their investment was, and it wasn’t investigatory journalism.

I know that the hot topics are not necessarily the ones brought up in the body of the fanpost, but I could see some people (me) being put off by a topic that has really no relevance to them.

So here is an alternative JD topic, great scenes from movies that you thought were overall bad movies. I thought of this while watching inglorious basterds last night. Great opening scene followed by, what I thought, was an underdeveloped movie.

i'm more along the lines of

Death Proof > Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown I thought was a little boring, too long. Definitely Tarantino’s most conventional. I think it hurt that he was working from material that wasn’t his also. Death Proof was a bit too talky and there’s not much to it, but he was making a car chase flick. And he absolutely freaking nailed the car chase. Also a pretty great last shot.

I think that the fact that we know parts of each other’s lives (through off-topic conversation) helps. It makes it personal; however, the size of the community helps to keep the JD personal and thus civil.

I think it’s an interesting question—“what is the sticky stuff of your friendships?” I think people fade out of your life as you just no longer have things in common—you may have the past in common (going to school with them and such). At my age, I tend to find people with common interests from which that the bond springs. In the past, especially with women of a fairer complexion, I’d assume a bond, and strive towards having things in common, in the form of sharing. Now, I find it much more fruitful, to find a twist that has lots in common with me…

I think the real question, is can you have two people who differ in that which they hold to be the most important—Say I was a bit younger, and the most important thing to me was my career. I think it would be highly unlikely for me to be with someone in that situation, who didn’t hold their career, or the celebration of another career, as that which is most important. Religion, I think, for many, fills or shares the same room as “that which is most important to me”

Interesting that you would use the word “respect” (literally, to look back at one). I think it suggests a view point that includes “the self”—which is to say, if you respect another, it is a measurement with relation to yourself. That may or may not, depending upon how you see it, contribute to that which is most important to you (namely yourself)—I think sometimes we like others because they are an accessory to our own lives.

I have a lot of bones of contention with organized religion also. The difference between faith and religion is vast and important. Organized religion seems to pay lip service to the faith aspect but focus more on dogma and institutionalized “belief.” turns a lot of people off, understandably.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 12, 2009 11:36 AM PDT up reply actions  

I agree 100% with that. I think organizing our priorities or organizing our values is probably the biggest key to growing up. I used to get really fired up against organized religion. Now, I just see it as another attempt at organizing one’s life in the world, and learning how face the mirror day in and day out. I don’t subscibe to it, and in some cases I don’t think it’s good for people, but I have my own world to shape. Getting indoctrinated (institutionalized by your work, by TV, by another’s code of conduct, etc) are the pitfalls of life, in my opinion…

See...what is interestings is:

Tolerance is not good enough. Can you imagine someone saying, “we need more tolerance of x type people”. Do they really understand the word tolerance? Here it is in a different context to help illustrate the point,

“I hate you, but I’ll tolerate you”

If I was a minority, I would think that being accepted would be the goal, not just tolerated. Being tolerated is still an insult.

tangent

this talk of tolerance v acceptance brings up a odd personal relationship that I have, and if anyone has any sage like advice please jump in.

There is this lady that is on my bike racing team that I do not like at a personal level, but tolerate for the sake of team harmony. I am polite, but I really have no interest in being friends with this person. Problem is that she has mistaken my politeness as a sign of friendship, and considers us friends. I am really not comfortable with that, but I dont want to make a bunch of drama, by trying to make clear what our relationship should be i.e. polite but not friends.

I seriously spend too much time thinking about this situation.

by GreatOden'sRaven on Oct 12, 2009 5:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

i don't think so.

theist indicates belief, which agnosticism doesn’t.

A few definitions:
Theism in the broadest sense is the belief in at least one deity.12 In a more specific sense, theism refers to a particular doctrine concerning the nature of God and his relationship to the universe.3 Theism, in this specific sense, conceives of God as personal and active in the governance and organization of the world and the universe.

Deism (\ˈdi:iz(ə)m\)1 or (\ˈdē-ˌi-zəm\)2 is a religious and philosophical belief that a supreme being created the universe, and that this (and religious truth in general) can be determined using reason and observation of the natural world alone, without a need for either faith or organized religion. Deists tend to, but do not necessarily, reject the notion of divine interventions in human affairs, such as by miracles and revelations

So basically, if you think God is personal and nice, you’re a theist. If you think God created the world and then took off, you’re a deist.

An agnostic would say the evidence doesn’t exist (or can’t exist) to make a determination one way or the other. Deists and theists have committed.

i have a hard time getting too upset about it. Their first touchdown was on a drive aided by an inane personal foul call on third down.

Maybe I’m rationalizing, I dunno. UW was screwed last week, had to suffer through Gilbertson and Willingham, and all of campus was just hoping. Just hoping for a win. The sigh of relief in the stadium was eerie.

It looks really close when you see live footage. I said “That looks like it might have hit the ground”… my wife looked (not a UW fan) and said “It looks like his foot moved and the point of the ball hit his foot and missed the ground”

is a reasonable $500,000. If Freeland comes to America next season, that’ll leave LaMarcus Aldridge as the starter, hm as the backup, and Dante Cunningham as the third stringer at the 4.

by jonestr on Oct 12, 2009 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think it depends on who's hot

Every game won’t be in question and need the ball in Roy’s hands. Like with a 5 point lead with 2 minutes to go, and Oden is playing against a turd, they’ll probably just get the ball to Oden. Game on the line, then the ball is in Roy’s hands.

by tominhawaii on Oct 12, 2009 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think you can take the ball out of Roy's hands in the last 2 minutes of a game.

Miller is nice to have for situations where they try ball denial on Brandon, but he can’t be the guy running the show. The reason Roy has been so good late in games for the Blazers is because he’s been given the opportunity to handle the rock and set other people up. If they don’t double him, he can take just about anyone in the league one on one.

Yes! Yes! In the face!

by LeafHawk on Oct 12, 2009 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

on the other hand he cant space the floor enough to keep effective doubles away from Roy, but he does have the ability to create shot opportunities and mismatches to make Roy more effective.

Hopefully we have a tight pre season game where we can try this out.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

by jonestr on Oct 12, 2009 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

i'd go with that.

but i think the 3 spot will be game/situation dependent. if it’s close and we’re ahead, it’ll be Batum for defense. If it’s close and we’re behind, probably Webster as he’ll provide better defense and the same type of end-game offense as Rudy. Rudy for every thing else (i.e we’re up or down by more than one possession)

by DrivetheLane on Oct 12, 2009 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think if Batum is ever in the end of game for defense

Then they’re probably in foul the guy situation, so Rudy would go back in for offense.

by tominhawaii on Oct 12, 2009 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

you think so?

i think they’d put him in as a stopper. And if his 3 point shot has actually improved, he’d be a guy you could ignore on the offensive end but still command enough respect for the defense to not completely ignore so he wouldn’t be a complete liability. Of course, at the end of the game, Roy is gonna want to take the challenge of guarding the best perimeter guy on the other team. you know, cause Roy is selfish and all.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 12, 2009 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think there are stoppers in the NBA

I think a guy can take a guy out of his game, but Batum is not good enough to stop the players you’ll want to stop at the end of the game. He’s not stopping Kobe, Lebron, Wade, etc.

by tominhawaii on Oct 12, 2009 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

ok, stopper is too strong a word.

but Batum bothers Kobe and the other top guys. I’ve seen it happen. If you can bother someone enough to take them off their game, that’s all that matters. And as far as the Blazers’ roster is concerned, Batum is the SF that can do that consistently.

The room is 23 by 10.5 The door is almost in about the middle of one of the long walls. It is 9’1" from the right wall, and it is 11’1" from the left wall, with a 34" rough opening (I think. This is off the top of my head.)

laughable is a strong word

I find this cause and effect funny (not singling you out, just the general theory of we won 54 games with these guys!). Blake starting could be a cause of the 54 wins… or he could not be. Just because we did win doesn’t mean that we won because of him.

We were above average with him, don’t we want to be better than that?

i'm not saying Blake was directly responsible.

but starting for that makes him at least party responsible. I mean, Brandon Roy is the reason we won 54 games. Without him, it doesn’t happen. But Blake ran the offense, got the ball to Brandon, and kept an even keel when on the floor. He didn’t lose us games (except the free throw debacle). Yes, we want to be better than average, which is why we should start Miller. But I still say that it’s not laughable that Miller wouldn’t start over Blake, it’s just the smart move. Miller talks about being unappreciated, but Blake could say the same thing.

November Revolution of 1918 ending the empire, Reichskristallnacht 1938 (Night of Broken Glass, pretty much the beginning of the Holocaust), finally the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification. There is no more “German” day in the calendar of world history.

Drivers enable you to analyze complex dependencies between measures that you want to interpret. Pretty much anything can be “driven”. Costs, value, quality, … The smaller elements drive the higher-ups where they are aggregated. Often it is presented as a “tree” structure.

The problem is, a 5-10% stake is not necessarily in the interest of the majority of Oregon residents.

But it would be a brilliant way to pressure an organisation to stay in Portland, if it is entirely ownership based without public input there is nothing to say it can’t move tomorrow.

Blazers were valued at $307 Million at the end of 2008… using that number, 10% stake would cost 30.7 million… that’s a managable number for a city with well over half a million residents

They offered customers to store some of their data outside of the device on a server "in the cloud" of the Interwebs

During a migration Danger transferred the data not onto a new server but into the virtual orkus. Poof. T-Mobile is pretty pissed, and doesn’t have a solution at the moment and likely won’t find one.

OK, I’m somewhat up to speed on veganism, but trip to France = vegan vacation blew my mind a wee bit. Does she know that most of the world-famous pastries are made with butter? Not to mention that the cheese is more amazing than you’ll ever get in America.

Thank goodness. For a while there I though she flew off to Europe in some sort of vegan huff because of her parents. Much better this way.

I admit it, my misunderstanding came from my parents giving me flack about not eating meat at every meal. If I ever was to get back at them, I’d go vegan. MAN would that piss people off.

Lola, by the Kinks.....it goes a little something like this

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well Im not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not dumb but I cant understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And Id never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy Im gonna make you a man

Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad Im a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I'm ok with the star trek style explosions and some of the changes

But they actually made all kinds of little minor changes to the movies that bothered me. Don’t get me wrong, I have the Special Editions and enjoy them. But it was unnecessary to reduce the violence (such as the re-edit of the shootout at the cell block), add the new creatures, and add a song into Jedi. I’m also in agreement with the “Han shot first” group.

Also, I think it’s nice to have a well cleaned up copy of the original classics, as originally seen, for posterity. They broke some amazing ground in 6 years, so let’s see that instead replacing it with computer rendition of the same.

True story. One night I was driving back to work

on Walnut near Albertsons. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I saw a herd of maybe 10 guys running towards Walnut out of a side street. At first I thought they were all wearing some sort of skintight, full body, team running suits in pale yellow and brown. They continued across the street in front of me and I realized they weren’t running suits, but birthday suits! They made it across the street and continued on their way. I whipped around in my MINI at the first opportunity but I lost ‘em. Dang it! When I got back to work and told this story one of the women asked me if they were wearing shoes. I told here I wasn’t looking at their feet!

Brian Smith has been a solid reporter/columnist so far

I actually wish he’d give an answer. It sounds like the naysayers are a very small group.

As someone else noted, it sounded like he was simply looking for an angle with his story, and it may not have been aimed at anyone, which would actually be a bit disappointing.

So far?

I guess you mean considering his ample work pre-PTB which I know nothing about except what he just revealed on CS and NASCAR coverage doesn’t impress me.

His first PTB story and he comes up with something completely allusory, then when asked to clarify remains elusive. He oughta have the sack to name the carrion he points out in his story

In general though, he’s put up some interesting material since his arrival. He’s a capable replacement for Brian Hendrickson, who was always a good read. I’m glad the Columbian seems to still care about their Blazer coverage, since it’s clear they’re struggling overall.

And a voice was screaming: ‘Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?’”

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
