Terryporter_tiny by prezofdeath on Comment 881 comments

Wadduppp junk drawer amigos/amigas? How's life treatin' ya? Well it's the weekend and even child slave laborers get breaks on the weekend, so here I am.

So things pretty quiet around here? I see Dave is trying to artificially inflate fanpost numbers with a contest....what a guy, what a guy (kidding Dave...I luv ya). Can't wait for whatever other summer announcements we got....

Aight, well, the subject for today's JD is TBD at a later time...so for now, random junk prevaileth.

Love to all,

Prez

jus playin

mountain biking at riffe lake. Beautiful place, but biking down was bad. Gravel road, going too fast, headed for a huge bump in the road and I jerk-reacted and locked up both breaks.

Head over handle bars, landed head first. Cracked helmet, blood everywhere. Whipped my shirt off and tied it around my head and had to ride another few miles to get back to camp so we could get to our rig and head to ER. 20 stitches and I was good as new.

At least biffing it on a bike is somewhat normal

I did it hiking a couple of weeks ago. Walking down a trail on Mt. Adams…going between snow and rocks. I was having a great time, enjoying the very early flowers….looking at the views and all of a sudden I catch my toe on a rock and fall flat on my face.

I hobble back to camp and the wife thought I’d been in a fight with a bear. Nope….just couldn’t keep my feet under me. I an SOOOOO glad no one saw me biff it.

nope :-( epic fail.

I was actually borrowing someone else’s bike. I don’t have my own—-in Tri Cities there’s absolutely no reason to have a bike as it is just flat desert and 110 degrees all summer long.

Now that I’m moved down here, I think I’ll have to invest in a bike. Disc breaks and good suspension are at the top of the list heheheh

If you're gonna quote me, misquote me -- The Arkitect

by prezofdeath on Jul 25, 2009 1:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I have a Steppenwolf with disc brakes, an adjustable front suspension and an SPV back suspension that was pretty expensive but worth it. I also like Cube and Trek, but there are a lot of good manufacturers.

I also have an old Raleigh (British manufacturer) mountain bike that is like 15 years old and has no suspension but still going strong. In fact I feel sometimes more stable on it, the geometry just fits me well and downhill (asphalt) and straight it’s faster than my suspension bike. In high school I regularly rode 11 km to school each way with some friends, downhill and then mostly flat in the morning, and flat and then uphill in the afternoon. I was never as fit again in my life.

On one route that we often went there was a super-dangerous 90 degree curve from a downhill road through a forest and then into open field, top speed, full break, left into a farm and through three houses to a smaller farm road, sometimes with dog out. No helmets at that time. Boy in retrospect it’s a miracle nobody got killed on that. We sometimes went like 40 to 45 miles per hour, then full break through potential traffic (better not) in the left turn.

The other route went downhill through a road that was shaped like a giant 500 m long half pipe, then a bit up again, and then straight downhill through a forest on a gravel road. You couldn’t go quite as fast there, but it was steeper. At the end of the forrest was a bar to prevent cars from entering the road that was always closed, so there you really had to slow down and go around. But at about the middle there was another barrier with a chain link that was open. One day I went down there full speed about 30 miles per hour, and when I came there I suddenly saw that the chain was closed. I couldn’t break anymore and at the last second made a bunny hop about 2 feet high over the chain link. Good times.

One of my friends from that time tried pro mountain biking for some time, with mixed success. But that route to school prepared us well.

by Norsktroll on Jul 25, 2009 2:38 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

you jumped 2 feet over a chain link that you weren't expecting after breaking hard?

what a beast! That is some quick thinking/mad skills. Dang.

by prezofdeath on Jul 25, 2009 2:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I had trained with someone who showed me even to jump stairs and from one obstacle to another. Today I wouldn’t be able to do it quite as good, also because I weight significantly more. The chain was hanging through a lot and in the middle was probably 1-2 feet above ground, so that was about how high I went. I just got over it. That would have been my most epic crash, and not sure what would have happened. No rocks around, but I would have probably sailed 10 yards and onto gravel.

The worst bike crashes I really had were missing a turn on a trail in the alps, and colliding sideways and locking pedals with someone on the way to a track and field training. Nothing broken, but I still have some slight scars on my knee from those bruises.

by Norsktroll on Jul 25, 2009 2:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

When I was in school a while back my brother borrowed my 10 speed w/o my knowledge.

He ended up getting a flat tire which he repaired, except he forgot to tighten the nuts on the front tire. You can guess the end of this story. I was cruising the pavement at a good speed hit a slight bump that everyone in the neighborhood was familiar with. We use to try to pull wheelies at slower speeds, but I was going way to fast for that and was just trying to lift the front tire a little. I found the front tire about a half-mile down the road and couldn’t walk for about a week as my left knee took almost all of the impact damage. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I’ve no doubt anytime he’s working on a automobile he’s thought of you and that story on a daily basis and it drives him to be as good of a mechanic as he is.

but that made my night, I laughed hard, I’m sorry, n glad you’re alright (no permentent damage aside from some scars?) :)

Yeah, it’s easily in my top ten of most painful moments.

Probably why I haven’t forgot it.
I’ve never brought it up to him, but I would guess you’re right; he’s likely thought of it a few times. I’ll have to ask him next time I see him – if he remembers that.
Also sounds like a good JD topic – Most Painful Moments.

If you ever make tacos at home

you must try the "tortilla land" uncooked tortillas. Cook them in a little olive oil. Sprinkle a little (or a lot) of parmesan cheese directly onto tortilla after cooking (I’m using the parmesan/romano combo tonight).
Next meat, then cheddar cheese. then half and half ketchup and salsa brava. Chopped onions, guacamole, tomatoes, lettuce. And even though you already have tomatoes a little homemade salsa is very nice.
You don’t need much to make a good salsa. Tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, cilantro, chili powder (sweet California if available), cumin, don’t forget a little sugar really helps. Oh don’t forget some fresh garlic if you have it. whirl it a little in the blender.

Yes……..but,

the cop had a friend who had swapped the casingsin the evidence room and planted a gun at Anthony’s house which the prosecutor almost bit on when he thought of framing him. So even in the next trial with both bullets matching, one from the suicidal cop and one from Anthony’s wife, the evidence of the casings doesn’t match the gun. I see prosecutor malfeasance trumping the bullets and Anthony gets off.

Also: since it was the cop who said "I have a friend" (and didn’t mention who) who swapped the bullets. I don’t think the prosecutor gets those casings swapped back.

Rats, I’ve already deleted it from my DVR.

If he were wired he’d have a hard time overcoming that in trial.
Whether or not they revealed he was wired in the movie, I don’t know.

But still, Anthony could say he was playing with his head re the confession. And I still think the prosecutor is in deep trouble with planting the evidence.

I haven’t said rats in a long while, but I find myself using many terms in the internet forum I don’t use much in person, probably in a effort to convey thoughts and feelings a little more accurate.

Competition on almost every position. I think I can talk myself into that. And it still enables moves down the road.

Andre Miller (1) – Steve Blake (1, rarely 2) – Jerryd Bayless (1, 2)
Brandon Roy (2, sometimes 3, 1) – Rudy Fernandez (2, sometimes 1) – (Bayless/Blake)
Nicolas Batum (3) – Travis Outlaw (3, 4) – Martell Webster (3, maybe rarely 2)
LaMarcus Aldridge (4, 5) – (Travis Outlaw) – Dante Cunningham (4, maybe rarely 3) – ?
Greg Oden (5, sometimes 4) – Joel Przybilla (5) – Jeff Pendergraph (5, 4) – ?

13 players at least when Dante and Jeff get signed. Maybe one more FA pickup like last year, but we will see.

This is Hollinger's Take on ESPN Insider...Just for the Junkers
I didn’t like Andre Miller going to the Blazers if it was going to cost them $40 million.

At $14 million guaranteed? At that price, I can talk myself into it.

Miller’s three-year, $21 million deal — which includes a team option for a third year that’s part of a growing trend I’ll discuss in a moment — is unusually good value for an unrestricted free agent, especially a veteran point guard with a consistent track record who never, ever misses games.

Put another way, Miller’s deal pales beside the one Dallas signed with Jason Kidd, even though Miller is younger and had a better year last year.

Sure, there are some ways this doesn’t exactly fit. Miller does a lot of damage in the post, and the Blazers already have a couple of players (Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge) occupying those slots fairly regularly. He’s also an up-tempo guard on what was the league’s second-slowest-paced team last season, and his inability to make 3s is an odd fit with the Blazers’ habit of spacing the floor with shooters around Brandon Roy.

But at some point, it became the only sensible move left on the chessboard. Portland had a limited pool of realistic candidates to pursue — the Knicks were going to match David Lee and no sign-and-trade could be concocted to please all sides, and the only other halfway decent unrestricted free agent, Lamar Odom, seems sealed to the Lakers despite their public standoff. Meanwhile, the dip in quality in the unrestricted pool after Miller and Odom is staggering.

The only legitimate alternative was to make a run at Milwaukee’s restricted free agent Ramon Sessions, but again the Blazers were risking the offer’s being matched — much as Utah did with Paul Millsap earlier this summer. That cost the Blazers a week, and if they had lost another week, there might not have been any players left worth signing with their $7.7 million in cap space.

The Blazers could have made a trade into their cap space, as well, but they would have been taking on another team’s trash and it likely would have cost a player on their end — the most realistic proposal out there would have swapped Travis Outlaw for Kirk Hinrich, and compared with that, getting Miller for free looks like a much better alternative.

“We wanted to keep this team together and just add to it,” said Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard in Friday’s conference call with reporters.

Two interesting nuggets emerged from the call with Pritchard and Miller: First, the Blazers haven’t guaranteed him the starting job. Miller and Steve Blake will compete for it in training camp, and although everyone expects Miller to prevail, he might not play more than 30 minutes a night.

Second, the Blazers want to play more up-tempo. We’ll see how this plays out in the regular season, obviously, given that “We’re going to run and press more” is right up there with “He has added 15 pounds of muscle” on the training camp cliché list.

But it’s something we’ve heard hints of since Portland lost to Houston in the first round of the playoffs, and Pritchard brought it up again when I asked about Miller’s tendency to push it up. “One or our keys is getting easier buckets,” Pritchard said. “We can become better if we can get easier buckets in transition, and Nate [McMillan] and I talked about that quite a bit.”

Meanwhile, it helps that Miller wanted to come. Pritchard told reporters in a conference call that Miller blew him away at a dinner in Las Vegas with McMillan because of his knowledge of the team and how he could find easier shots for the players (Apparently, the meeting was more memorable than the meal for Miller, who said it was “some Italian place” and he had “some kind of frittata”).

“We went through all our options,” Pritchard said. “Once Nate and I went to dinner, it was all about feel. He knew how to play with our team. He knew how to get us extra possessions. He knew his throw-ahead pass would be even more effective with LaMarcus and Greg and [Nicolas] Batum.”

Pritchard said the Blazers were pretty much done making moves, although he spurred a raised eyebrow by making a point about several veterans not having guarantees and being waived in the near future. One of those is former Spurs defensive ace Bruce Bowen, who might be cut by Milwaukee in the next seven day because his deal becomes fully guaranteed Aug. 1; one wonders whether Pritchard — who came through the San Antonio pipeline — would have his eye on the veteran stopper if he became available.

Meanwhile, there’s an interesting part of this deal that has been a piece of several signings this summer, and it’s not getting nearly enough attention — the use of a nonguaranteed portion of the contract or, as one GM calls it, “Confederate money.”

The Spurs did this with Antonio McDyess’ deal, for instance, and the Cavs did it with Anderson Varejao’s. It’s a great trick for a team that’s already over the cap because, at the end of the contract, it allows the team to trade a veteran player for another one making the same amount of money as long as it can find a partner looking to cut costs; the partner then waives the player with the nonguaranteed deal and wipes the salary from its books. This would be impossible to do if his contract merely expired because that would make the player a free agent.

And if you think about it, it allows these teams to circumvent the cap. We’ve already seen teams doing it increasingly with year-end contacts that have a nonguaranteed second year added on (the Nuggets, for instance, acquired both J.R. Smith and Renaldo Balkman this way, after signing bit players in late spring and “trading” them to make the cap dollars work; their new teams immediately cut them), and now we’re seeing it more with big-name players too.

I bring this up because Miller’s third year isn’t guaranteed. We don’t know the language yet on the guarantee, but if it’s a late guarantee date — say, Sept. 1 — the Blazers would be able to dangle him the whole summer in 2011 if his performance isn’t up to snuff and get another player who makes his salary. They’d be over the cap otherwise (assuming extensions for Roy and Aldridge) and couldn’t do that, but this little trick lets them sidestep that problem.

It flies in the face of our logic a bit because for years the assumption has been that guaranteed contracts are one of the worst things about the NBA and make it hard for teams to manage salaries responsibly. But we’ve seen in the past couple of years that nonguaranteed years at the end of those deals actually can be worse — encouraging contending teams to spend more than they otherwise might have.

Those are the rules right now, though, and the Blazers took advantage of them. They only have to commit to Miller for two years, and if they want to move on, his contact will be easily tradable for somebody else making a similar salary. It’s one of many ways their risk on this deal wasn’t nearly as great as on, say, the deal they thought about with Hedo Turkoglu earlier this summer. And it’s why Miller, even if less than an ideal fit, was about the only sensible move once his price dropped so low.

I live in Portland

And the courses I usually play at when I have the time are at Orchard Park, St. Johns (the PGDA had a tourney I believe two weeks ago) and a course at a church in Beaverton.

you have to try McIver and Timber in Estacada. Just monster courses, both of them. I’ve played Orchard a few times, I liked it because I’m a left and it goes counter clockwise, which works to my advantage.

Let me know if you want to throw sometime. it’s been way too long

Sounds good

I work right next to Orchard Park, so on my early day off I throw a round or two. But I know what you mean about being a lefty having an advantage, if I’m not careful I’ll hit the trees on baskets 4-7 (seven is horrible!) Its been two years since i played regularly, so I’m still working on my throw (IE throwing straight instead of up in the air)

The better courses are in Estacada, but I'm a big fan of Trojan Park in Rainier also.

I HATE Pier Park. It's the perfect bad combination of right handed holes with trees in the wrong place.

I’d play it if it were close, though

Stocked up on special cleaning products today

My last attempt to convince my landlord that the apartment is still in very good condition. Just cleaned the glass panels and rails on my balcony from all moss and dirt, looks better than when I moved in. Tomorrow is the other balcony, and the bath replacing/cleaning some inches of silicone between bath tiles, etc. Monday painting over a wall area.

It’s not like I’m not trying to be a good housekeeper :)

Also made some difficult phone calls hoping to secure more funding for my next venture. We will see.

Thanks. Don’t know if I can get that here, but I used special products from a company called Mellerud that I bought in a kind of Home Depot market. Works pretty great. My ceramic oven plates already look great again after removing some slight burn-in fat. Haven’t cleaned the inside yet. Bath is also coming along and really wasn’t bad to begin with thanks to a more aggressive product (I usually use chlorine-free products since I’m a bit sensitive to things like that). Just had to cut out about 2 inch of silicone in a corner, the rest is mostly natural stone. I’ll definitely not pay anything to a specialist for the bath, he wouldn’t do anything different than me. I have seen it myself since the bathtub had to be replaced while I was in.

That I could do

Til about 2 months ago I was sporting a full beard (first time in my life I did that). When I decided to shave it I played around for about an hour shaving off various parts and checking out the different looks. Probably the stupidest looking was the Wild Bill look (a handlebar moustach and soul patch combo) .

side note: I shaved that beard about 8 weeks ago and no one noticed….then about three days ago I got a haircut (I had let it get pretty long) and everone (at least four people at work and others) asked me: “When did you shave your beard?” It was funny how badly people pay attention to stuff like that

other than the remaining cap space (if there is any) what exceptions do the Blazers have remaining?

What I mean is……if the Blazers want to sign someone …what can they do at this point?

"My avatar picture is of the favorite vehicle I ever owned" -Me

by 92wastheyear on Jul 25, 2009 3:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No exceptions. Ben is trying to get from T-Pain aka Tom Penn about which players they had to waive/renounce for Miller (if any, they renounced a number of vets with cap holds like Raef, Shav, Ruffin, Schrempf, … for trying to sign Millsap, and probably didn’t take them back on after Utah matched). And a cap guru like Storyteller would have to figure out at which amount Miller’s deal starts, or if they distribute it equally over three years (3×7) in order to determine what cap space could be left.

So we are probably left with minimum-salary veterans which you can always sign, and if we would sign Joel Freeland as one of our unsigned draft picks from a previous year that should also be possible even when over the cap. Same with Dante and Jeff.

The largest effect on the temperature in terms of “climate gases” is just water vapor. What is difficult to determine is if man-made changes could have a tipping point effect on the climate. It probably doesn’t react proportionally to some changes. If e.g. the gulf stream would change, that would have huge effects on the climate in Europe. There certainly are regional differences. There are a few glaciers in Canada and Alaska that are growing, but all glaciers in Europe are retreating for the past 100 years.

That influence would be minimal. It’s just the natural circulation of water from the oceans and lakes, going up in the atmosphere under the influence of the sun, coming back as rain/snow. And thereby also shielding sun rays coming in, and going out. Cloud cover. Which is so unpredictable and massive that afaik long-term climate simulations pretty much have to ignore it since the best computers couldn’t handle the data. Otherwise you could also predict the weather closely over long time periods. CO2 – among other gases – does have a big disproportionate influence since they are aggressive in the atmosphere and it’s important to bring it down (e.g. stopping fires in coal fields, deforestation, industrial production, automative transport, etc.). It’s just not the only part of it as. It’s certainly wrong to completely ignore human influence on the climate just because the world has survived it so far and seen greater changes – and better safe than sorry – just difficult to predict what the effect will be for coming generations.

I don’t have a scientific argument for or against it, it just feels like a big trend but nobody really knows if we are setting the right levers or just throwing money around that won’t change anything. Maybe we would need to produce more clouds. Maybe the oceans have the biggest influence. Maybe we can’t prevent it unless we deny many developing countries the same standard of living. Lots of difficult decisions with uncertain information.

Little more than a 150 or s hundred years ago there wereo glaciers in Glacier National Park.

Now there are fewer than 40 and the prediction is there will be no glaciers by 2030. If you’ve never been, go there now. It’s wondrously beautiful. I took a helicopter ride over the park with a focus on the glaciers. They pointed out where glaciers had recently been and how much some of the more famous glaciers had shrunk over the past relatively few years. It confirmed my belief that climate change is progressing at an alarming rate whether it’s natural or not.

It’s just that not all glaciers in the world are going back, but indeed most are. I have seen the Icefield Parkway in British Columbia, where the glaciers are retreating fast and you are now walking over moraines that were covered with ice 20 years ago. Same when comparing old pictures from many of the most famous glaciers in the Alps, where you can now see parts of the valley where you could never see the ground before. This e.g. led to the discovery of the “Ötzi” copper age man in the 90s, a warrior/trader killed over 5000 years ago near a major pass between Austria and Italy. At that point it must have been significantly warmer, since while possessing a surprising amount of tools and clothes he wasn’t equipped to cross large areas of snow and ice.

Also if you take good look at the co2 and temp graphs you will see that the temp goes up then anywhere between 50 or 200 years later the co2 levels go up.when the temp goes down the co2 levels go down but after the temp change and I feel that Al Gore misrepresented the data in his presentation

I am probably in the minority re Global Warming

My stance is that we don’t really have any idea what is the normal weather variation. So how can we really know whether was we are seeing is an actual problem or just normal variation. We don’t have enough recorded weather history (small sample size) and the ice cores you are talking about show lots of variation…..so what does that mean. I guess you could say I am an agnostic re Global Warming

@pdxtrailblazers (Casey) and @USAbasketball tweeting from the scrimmage

@USAbasketball

blue starters: lopez, westbrook, smith, iguodala and durant

White starters, gay, mayo, rose, green and oden

@pdxtrailblazers

Oden takes the first shot of the game, a jump hook over Brook Lopez, no good. Good post position though.

Oden gets called for a foul on Brook Lopez. That looked like a clean block to me, and everyone else on press row

GO faces up Lopez on the baseline and cans the 12 footer for his first points on the game

@USAbasketball

first time out at 3:25. White is up 15-13. Rudy Gay has 6 points for White.

Durant leads Blue with 4 points.

Updated SUMMER REPORT CARD for our non-Insider BEdgers
10. Portland Trail Blazers

Key additions: Andre Miller

Key subtractions: Sergio Rodriguez, Channing Frye

In limbo: Raef LaFrentz (U)

Kevin Pritchard is the most active GM in the league. That’s why it’s such a shock to see him striking out this summer. The Blazers made a huge pitch to Hedo Turkoglu but were left at the altar for the more cosmopolitan Raptors. Then they gave a huge $32 million offer sheet to Paul Millsap, only to see the Jazz match it a few days later. They also made a run at a David Lee sign-and-trade, but could not get the Knicks to cooperate.

The Blazers’ draft was a disappointment, as well. Pritchard tried to move up high in the draft but couldn’t. He ended up taking Spanish forward Victor Claver, who won’t play in the league for at least the next two years.

However, on Friday, Pritchard worked out a deal with veteran point guard Andre Miller, who is the calming presence the team was looking for. He won’t be the leader of the team, but his steadiness combined with his ability to post up other guards will come in handy. Signing Miller isn’t a home run for Pritchard, but it’s a solid upgrade over Steve Blake.

BTW Stevie Ray was really unique in the technical sense

He played really heavy gague strings,which takes really strong hands and tuned down half a step which takes some real musical savvy.

Blue dominates the quarter, takes a 72-60 lead. Oden had a nice stint in the end of the Q, has 7 points, 6 boards and 2 fouls for the game

Note to self:

When visiting family, keep mouth shut about anything that will eventually come back to religion.

I'm the same way

Family’s very catholic, and i’m very agnostic

I'm an atheist in a very Christian family, but used to be just like them, which makes it worse.

Seems like a lot of people use the word “agnostic”, which I interpreter as an atheist who needs more courage. You wouldn’t say you’re agnostic about unicorns, leprechauns or Bigfoot, so why God? I look it at like this: the evidence doesn’t convince me there’s a God, therefore I don’t believe there is one. It doesn’t do me any good to sit on the fence for no reason. If the preponderance of the evidence goes one certain direction, then go that direction.

not meaning to fight with anyone, just seems like my fellow skeptics on Bedge don’t like to commit.

I have no problem with calling myself an atheist really

I just don’t really know one way or the other. And, I don’t really care.

Tinfoil, not to be contrarian or argue against myself, but I do see your point and would be inclined to agree with you.

I passed on going to a family gathering this weekend in Seattle

Partly because I didnt want to travel in the heat,convienent excuse but mostly because I have a"devout" nephew who is doing a crappy job as a parent and I want to slap the teeth out of his pious mouth every time he opens it

I'm an atheist too. My extended family, past and present, runs the gamut.

My dad took us to church with him so that he could engage in courteous argument with the faithful. I guess I don’t really know what his beliefs actually were but I do know he loved debate. The whole thing was an experiment that didn’t work to make me a believer when I saw how the pillars of the church basically crucified the minister, who was one of the finest human beings I knew.

that is one of the most damaging things a church body can do

so messed up for that to happen in a church. it really should not be that way, but so often it is.

People in the church get way too caught up in thinking about things like a business—with the pastor just being an employee. When they’re done, they fire him, and do whatever they have to in order to get him out.

A pastor is supposed to lead the sheep, not be ruled by them. He devotes his life to serving the sheep. They follow him as he follows Christ.

When things get switcharoo’d around, things get messed up quickly. But yeah, seeing that happen to my dad (a pastor), after he saw it happen to his dad (also a pastor) has probably been one of the toughest things for me to deal with as a believer.

Just gotta’ remember that man is fallen, and just because he falls short doesn’t mean God does.

That's easy

Because atheists are ∂ˆç˚ß. They think because they don’t believe in god, that everyone else should stop believing in god. Agnostics just step back and say, “I don’t know what the heck is going on, so leave me out of your drama.”

Knowing you, and knowing your family

I’m surprised you forgot that going in
