So what’s the deal here, I guess tonight I’ll be the default junk maker since you all fell down on the job.
Watch the jump it’s tricky.
Where were we, oh yah, I might not be commenting much in the next year or two. I need to make a concerted effort to get my post to comment ratio 1 to 1. People need to know I’m serious about these here Blazers. What better way to make them understand.
Go ahead and junk away, meanwhile I’ve got 10 more posts I need to write for today’s sidebar.
Please, just because I don’t reply doesn’t mean I don’t love you all. It also doesn’t mean I think my thoughts are more important than yours. It just means I’m good, and I take my job of posting seriously.
I’m not too good with names either, so for the sake of brevity, I’ll just call you all wrong. You’ll probably love all my posts – I’m just that good.
I don't mean to be snarky and I would like to take the time to get to know some of you better, but the profundity of ubiquitous greatness keeps flooding my head and I need to get this stuff published.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
Here’s a far better topic.
If you have had a major, epic change in you’re life, How was it brought on: by a choice you made and perhaps planned, or was it something completely random from an external source that you had no control over.

Could a long time parent please assist me?
Where is the hour setting dial on my baby? I need to adjust her for daylight savings time so I can avoid being awoken at 4am.

I heard a long time ago warm milk with a little honey puts a baby right to sleep.
Not only babies, I’ve tried it – it works, and tastes good.
You probably need to wait for a parent to answer. But I’d imagine it won’t take much longer. You should definitely be good before the weeks over.

How old is the baby?
In my experience if they are younger than 6 months, then you just have to wait it out.
If they are older than 6 months and are eating solid food, then just stuff them full of food and they will sleep for a good 12 hours before they get hungry again.

It’s really more about the time change than the baby. She actually sleeps more regularly than I do. I was just complaining because I’m not a morning person.

Interesting
I haven’t noticed a change in the sleeping habits of our kids (2yrs and 10 months) since the time change. We put them down at the same time (7pm-ish) and when 8:30am rolls around they are ready to get up.
I would suggest putting up some blackout blinds so that it is dark in the room regardless of the hour.

Although I did double my comments over the summer based off of mostly junk.. it is also notable that my last 5-6 posts were just JDs anyway.
JD comments and posts should be removed from the ratio I think.

I would type a sentence back there and seriously sit back and watch one letter about every 5 seconds pop up. I think SO puts up with a lot of that.

Boston has a sick +19.3 point diff.
Miami +14.3
Orlando +11.0
Phoenix +10.7
San Antonio +9.7
Denver +7.3
Washington +6.3
OKC is +4.0, I think they started last year like –20 and stayed very low for quite some time before rising in the second half of the year.
Any of these point diffs signs for the coming year?

they are signs
of teams that were ready at the start of the season…and usually based on playing good fundamental ball (with good defense) and having grasped the team concept, with aggressive play…. a lot will play in how these numbers will hold up over the season…. Right now they could be considered skewed somewhat…..

the process of change
I just handed in a paper on the topic for my Motivational Interviewing class. The topic had to cover human nature and include thought on whether change is an intrinsic capacity of human nature. The bulk of my thoughts covered the whole tabula rasa or “blank slate” debate. I think the purpose was to motivate a belief that anyone can change. Too bad the teacher isn’t going to get that. I took the side we are but human animals only deluding ourselves into believing what we think is purposeful intent is really instinct and social pressures pushing us in new directions. Well it wasn’t that harsh but I’m certain it will raise an eyebrow. I love thought papers because you can’t really get dinged for having contrary opinion. Grammar gets hit hard, but not opinion. Worst part of it though is I spelled the prof’s name wrong on the title page.
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it

House's opinion on change is the best
House contends that "wanting" to change leaves hope that change can be had; as long as you don’t try, you have hope and you can continue to imagine life on the metaphorical "other side." He’s not saying, however, that anyone can change. Change of circumstance does not equal change of one’s fundamental stripes. You are who you are.

Funny day yesterday.
My car broke down at Fred Meyers:(
Then went to work and took an “escalated” call from a partner. She went on a tirade about how our system was down and she couldn’t support our client.
I don’t think she even asked for my name but continue on yelling such things as , “I’m so embarrassed…I will tell all your clients that this is not working and it’s NOT our fault and it’s your fault. I’m just trying to do my job and this isn’t even my job and it’s two weeks before they are suppose to launch and you haven’t launched it”
I started laughing and she said, “Why are you laughing?”
I said, “Well, I find it absurd that you are running around being hysterical instead of calmly trying to figure out how to solve this with us for the clients. Pointing fingers will get you no where. We have two weeks to figure this really small issue out. And by the way, I don’t want you to ever support any of our clients again. I will call them directly to make sure the cause of the problem is the system and not you being unable to manage a program.”
She was uber annoying. I think she was yelling at me while eating…Smacking her lips.
I then called our clients and they were absolutely patient and fine. 3rd party vendors / middle-ware can either be great or just that, a 3rd party to the party.
I find her being rude on the phone refreshing though…It’s a talent that is often masked in email now.

I had a lady yell at me and say, “Don’t say anything, I’m sick of people telling me they are sorry.” She yelled at me for 5 or 10 minutes and then said, “Aren’t you going to say anything?” I said, “You told me not to say anything.” And then she asked for a supervisor.

I don't mind the ones who have a real gripe
In my shift now, I get a guy calling around 4:00 AM to check status on stuff and he asks for a supervisor. He starts each call with, “Look, i don’t care that it’s 4:00 AM there. I’m sick of the supervisor not calling me back.” I always give responses like, “If you called during business hours, you would be able to speak to him directly.”

I once called in and pretended to be a customer who wanted to return a underwater photography book….after chewing out the rep (a buddy of mine) for about twenty mins …I told that the reason i wanted to return the book was that it fell apart the 1st time I took it under water

Call Centers
I’m so happy I don’t have to work directly with the general public anymore.
I used to work in downtown Portland for a telecom company that produced/serviced prepaid phone cards (Walmart cards, Costco cards, etc). Before I was a manager, I was a CSR. We’d get all kinds of strange callers. Especially during graveyard shift. I don’t miss being hit on by drunk, elderly women over the phone.

They could, but Apple hates Flash and doesn't allow Adobe to install the player
You can even make iPhone apps with Flash. They look a bit different, but they would work. And since YouTube has H 264 encoding in the background and just uses Flash as the front-end, that big argument for Flash fell flat after Apple introduced a special application for YouTube shortly after the launch.
The only thing that still speaks for Flash (at least in Apple’s view, and they would have a few technologies that could kill it) is that designers can quickly learn it without understanding much about coding and that thus a lot of people know how to use it. But it’s heavy on resources for mobile devices, often results in over-designed websites that don’t let the user do what he wants quickly, and the rest of the functionality will mostly be there with HTML 5.0 and related languages and technologies. Adobe Air has likely a better chance to get accepted.

bats where they shouldn't be
are a real risk for rabies.
Of course, they had the bat’s body, and they probably should have just tested the thing.
Re: PETA. As a vegan, I don’t hate PETA, although they’re annoying, with questionable ethics (but that’s a whole other thing). But because of the rabies issue, that bat was doomed anyway, so there’s not much point mourning it. And if they want to be mad, they should be mad at the person who (probably) brought it to the game and released it. Poor bat.

For the people that think other "superior" coaches aren't criticized by their fanbases...
Following one of our recent uninspired wins or losses, someone said they’re sure Sloan isn’t criticized the way Nate is around here in response to my claim that all fanbases call for the coach’s head when the team is struggling. I already know Phil isn’t immune, I’ve seen him get bashed as well, but I wasn’t able to say for sure about Sloan.
The following Sloan bashing is all just from one topic. No coach is immune, and if the reflex to call for the coach’s head inevitably happens everywhere to every coach no matter what their track record, what makes one think that replacing Nate will solve our woes? Replace with who? Not to say replacing the coach isn’t sometimes the answer, but I’m annoyed by the quick impulse to demand that action and the assumption that other coaches aren’t as fallible.
/end rant
….absolutely pathetic. Sloan and Boozer have to go…..is there anybody who doubts those two are the problem???
I think Jerry Sloan has to go. I’ve been saying this for YEARS, but now, it’s obvious the the team just needs a change of scenery, a different voice. They have tuned Jerry out completely, and his coaching methods/philosophies are no long resonating with the team. I don’t think they are throwing in the towel necessarily, but about as close as you can get. Just something as simple as not dropping into the paint to leave three point shooters wide open would bolster our opponents PPG by at least 5-8 points. Sadly, Sloan will never be fired, he will have to leave on his own terms. Thus, we’ll continued to be mired in mediocrity, something we’re all too familiar with.
Boy, scary comments from DWill after the game… paraphrased…
“this is the team we got, this is the coach we got, this is what we got.”
…Or we trade Booze for a D-big and fire Sloan.
The following is my fresh new rant on Jerry Sloan and why I want him gone. If this offends you, do not continue any further:

Wow...
I can understand wanting to deal Boozer for another piece (Millsap makes him expendable, and if he’s not committed to being there it could make sense to cut bait) but Jerry Sloan is a great coach – abrassive, but the results don’t lie. As they say, the grass is always greener…

Sure, but I would guess other fanbases might think pretty highly of Nate considering what he got out of the Blazers last year despite lower expectations.
Put any coach under a microscope and some fans aren’t going to like what they see… whether or not their informed enough to judge.
by shralpster on Nov 3, 2009 9:48 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
EVERY coach, and even most star players who’ve been on a team long enough, are going to get endlessly criticized by the fanbase.
Sloan is a big reason why Utah is always good. They aren’t the BEST team because of the players, not because of him. But the fans know nothing but him, so he’s an easy target. Plus he’s abrasive, a jerk, mean, and so that MUST be why the team hasn’t won a title, right?
by Mortimer on Nov 3, 2009 9:53 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, that hate from a vocal minority of Utah Jazz fans toward Jerry Sloan totally boggles my mind.
Jerry Sloan is an extremely talented coach, as well as a brilliant offensive mind. Sure, Sloan’s system is just a modernized version of John Wooden’s old UCLA high-post offense — along with a heavy dose of pick-and-roll included it — however, that’s a tremendously effective scheme and hard to defend against as an opposing team.

Portland Trail Blazers fans would be lucky to enjoy a run such as the one Gerald Eugene Sloan has had with the Utah Jazz
However, they stuck with Nathaniel “Nate” McMillan, who will never coach a team over 50 wins.

You are so right.
I wish they built a tool to make it easy to drill in Trex boards. Or a Trex board gun? That would make someone really rich.
I built my deck with Trex and it was a pain to drill each fastener. Typically, you need to drill a hole first then drill the fastener but since Trex is so tough, it takes a while.
I don’t usually build things, but enjoy building big projects…My wife bought me a set of tools for Xmas that I was requesting for a long time, and the next Memorial Day 4 day weekend, I decided to build this deck with my bro to let her know that the tools do come handy.
These boards are heavy.
I had to double the foundation because to my surprise, the Trex board was very very flexible.
And just to note, my kids WERE NOT close to the saw…ever…hahaha
Finish product with some Target furniture on sale
My wife had no idea I was building flower boxes inside the deck, and that was her surprise “gift.”
Anyways, tools are the best thing ever invented…or some people think “outsourcing” is better but finishing something like a deck is pretty fun…My next project this spring is a giant Koi pond. Built one for my Dad for his 50th bday a while ago, and it’s nice to have around the house.
I’m not even a handy guy but when you get tools as a gift, you just wanna build. Bedge BBQ at my house next summer!!!!!!!

Two days ago I picked up the friend’s youngest child (10 months old) who has a boogery nose. He likes me a lot and enjoys my manly stubble.
He proceeds to stick his entire hand in my mouth, and I can taste that his hand is totally dripping in boogers and running nose. Gross.

I think I done told this story before
I was at a friends house for a BBQ and he had a little boy named Sam who was old enough to walk, but not talk, and he still wore diapers. He stuck his hand down the back of his diaper and pulled it out with a pea size turn on the end of his middle finger. I said to Sam, “I think Rob wants to smell it.” And before Rob could do anything, Sam stuck his middle finger in one of Rob’s nostrils and his index finger in the other nostril and when he pulled it out, the turd was gone. His dad was trying to chastise him but couldn’t because he was laughing so hard.
When I think of Sam, it makes me want to have a little boy.

I liked this comment in Dave's behave post yesterday
what a crock of crap. gee, sorry that it’s so disturbing to you. i put up one comment about the blazers with some valid points; some were negative, some were positive. i suppose because it was so disturbing to you personally you had to yank it.; now thats disturbing. and the fact that you have the audacity to write 500 words to rant about how things disturb you is beyond comprehension. get over yourself and that huge, inflated ego. and if people talk about the blazers—good or bad….then so be it. dont worry dave, i wont be back. people like yourself impose your faulty beliefs on others who are actually referring to the blazers and that’s just not good enough for you as it’s deemed "disturbing". whatever.

it seems like just under 100$ diff in price on a pair of seats at the straight up price, but I’d sell at or better than my season ticket price for anyone here. Prob do it for $60 or so depending on the game.
Not positive if it will work with my seat mate for tonight’s game, but it could definitely work for some upcoming game.

I was worried the wife would be that way
But she has been SUPER DUPER nice to me, when traditionally we haven’t gotten along.
I think it’s because I’m really good with the kids, both being fun-play-partner and stern disciplinarian. I help explain to the kids why they are failures to us. She already complained to her husband how much better I am with the kids than him.
I actually don’t usually sit on the couch, I sit on the recliner next to it if I am watching a game… which is weird also, usually the recliner is reserved for the dominant male presence in the house, but my friend prefers the couch!
Takes all kinds.
I’m totally gonna pull a “Mercury” and make someone else’s pet/child like me more than their ‘true’ owner/parent. MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

Well
He shoulda’ understood no real team wanted him, and signing a… what, a 1 year deal?… with Memphis was scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Then he could use this season to show the world the lessons he had learned, and accept a mentorship/veteran role and help bring the younger players along. It would be a nice end to his stat-heavy career.
But, nope. Oh well.

Chad Ford doesn't think we'll keep Outlaw after free agency
10. Travis Outlaw, Blazers
Outlaw has been somewhat a forgotten man in Portland. He’s been a solid scorer and shooter for the Blazers the past few seasons. He’s still young and athletic, and given all the money the Blazers are going to have to commit to young players such as Roy and Aldridge, he probably won’t be re-signed by the team.

Reminds me of this story that didn’t quite make it into the final cut of the bible
A man was about to drown in the Lake Tiberias, and a finally a boat came to rescue him, but the man said “don’t worry, God will save me.” The boat sails away. A second boat came to rescue him, but the man insisted again “God will save me” and the boat sails away. After a few more hours he drowned and went to heaven. When he saw God the man started to curse and said “all my life I trusted and worshipped you, but in my darkest hour when I’m about to drown you betray me. Where were you, Lord?” And God said “well, I did send you two boats”.

yo EK
so I think I know how I’m going to “attack” this essay.
I agree with Eliot for the most part, but I think he is really not putting enough emphasis on talent of the artist him/herself. I could study art/poetry all my life and I could never recreate the Sistine Chapel, write a work like The Waste Land, etc.

Philosophy and the Arts ftw(?)
it’s an interesting class, it seems as though everyone has a different take on what is good art and what “art” itself really is.

a debate that will continue
for time immemorial. i just finished the first part of Eliot’s essay. so far, I agree with him on all points.
by DrivetheLane on Nov 3, 2009 11:27 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, but even if you had the capacity to paint the sistine chapel, it wouldn’t do you much good—people don’t pay/care about that kind of art anymore. There is a reason why you don’t brush up on your ability to write in elizabethian pentameter lines. Can you name one famous living poet? I don’t know that can name 5. Poetry as an art form may be the victim of Eliot’s own example—a dead form. Talent is important, in context to the world you live in. Does that make sense? I agree that talent means a lot, and maybe you shouldn’t pander to the times. But, let me ask you this—Would you rather be a screen writer or a painter of portraits? If you thought touching people and the masses (maybe in light of your last assignment and tolstoy) is it better to write family guy episodes, or the next major plays?
by EvilKaramazov on Nov 3, 2009 11:07 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Well obviously you'd want to work in the medium where the masses do pay attention
which would be TV/Movies. But even so, there is still a problem of “talent” or lack thereof (ie I can go study screenwriting and like, but I doubt I could write anything as close to as good as Th e Wire).
A poet must embody “the whole of the literature of Europe from Homer,” while, simultaneously, expressing his contemporary environment.
Perhaps changing the word poet to something else makes more sense, because you do see an influence in some movies or TV Shows from European literature or even the works of Homer.

Yeah, I’m just throwing stuff out there—this is a really challenging topic—you should be more excited than you seem to be. Francis Bacon said we need not look to the past, rather let us stand on the shoulders of giants—which is something we practice. Not many know the tradition anymore—Homer to Dante, etc. The times (life now), in my opinion, have corrupted the arts. There are a lot of different arguments about the purpose of art in society. Others will state opposite to this claim—namely that artists serve as the banner carriers of the future, to be condemned by their peers. Do you want to be in TV because touching as many people as possible is the key—I’ll tell you this, there are a lot of no-talent-adz-clowns in TV and Film, but they are moving more people than the poet laureate.
by EvilKaramazov on Nov 3, 2009 11:22 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
there is also that quote about “those who don’t look to the past are doomed to repeat it” but I don’t think that would apply here, unless I started talking about the Dark Ages before the renaissance when art and poetry started to kind of die out.

An interesting observation to think about maybe is what we call shock value—Something that is only interesting in so far as it is completely different than what came early that week/year, etc. The fountain, by Duchamp might be the most influential piece of art in the 20th century, for this reason. I think it all leads to doom, but i’m old school and hip to the tradition….

yeah but a t-shirt is a t-shirt is a t-shirt.
hats last longer and are more distinctive, I think. They are better souvenirs. I don’t wear hats much either, mostly to games, but they’re kinda cool to collect.
