Junk Drawer July 31st: Office Speak

Printwasssssap buttercups!??!?!
i work in the tech world and there's always a bunch of tech speak that gets thrown around:
"do you have the bandwidth to attend this meeting?"
"my hotspot signal is weak, need coffee"
"i caught him glazing" sleeping with yo' eyes open at the computer screen
"i need to reboot"
"that guy/girl is 404"
"oh great, i can't wait to go into a blame-storming sesion"
"i'm not gonna sell this, this is crappy chip and salsa" chips being hardware and salsa being software
"did i say that? you sure? if i egosurf, will it show up?"
"i bet you that guy is a mouse potato at home" this is ALL Bedgers...hahahah
"i'm hiring a plug and play today" newbie hire that does not need training...aka Not Prez
"i have an announcement, everyone please prairie dog from your cubes"
"i screwed that up in an ohnosecond!"
instead of saying You Got Served at our work, we say You Got Uninstalled!!!
and the one i'm using today, "I need to decompress after today's stressful meetings"
So how does everyone else decompress?
- after a hard day at work
- after a vacation
- after an intense BEdging
- after a fight
- after a breakup
- after a crazy event
- after getting brp'd at Bedgeball
i usually go play bball, then take the family out to drinks and dinner...then Group Chat...Group Chat is hot...email me if you want in...BUT only a few will get in based on a test....
it would also be funny to hear office speak you use/hear...i know there are a few in the medical field that are pretty funny. I did overhear Ben. say "everytime i go to the bathroom, i like to twitter to the last drop..."
junk on junkin' on
peace. stay cool. forever.

AK, who's your guess on rookie of the year...
nba player and actress
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
I'll go the easy route and predict that Blake Griffin wins it.
As for recent actresses to hit the scene recently, I like Kristen Stewart.
I have not nor will not ever see Twilight or any of its god-awful sequels, but she was simply superb in Adventureland and I’m looking forward to see The Runaways.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Twilight was decent...i didn't like all the twitching and weird facial expressions...
you like Kristen because she’s a girl next door type with a bichy look….
i go with Tyreke Evans cuz he’ll play minutes and Evan Rachel Wood….
she’s gonna be the next big star
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
she was awesome in Across the Universe and the Wrestler
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
I watched Whatever Works the other day
She had a disgusting accent. But looked cute.

I, too, liked Evan Rachel Wood's performance ...
in The Wrestler, as well as Thirteen back in the day.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Remember when Claire Danes was hot?
I don’t really have a favorite rookie lady. Apollonia Vanova is attractive. Katy Perry is sexy. I always prefer brunettes.
Tyler Hansbrough is my pick for rookie of the year. I’d go with Blake Griffin but since he’s a Clipper, I think he’ll be injured a lot of the season.
i love Claire Danes...
My So Called Life was my favorite show back in the day….
Apollonia looks mean.
i love Katy Perry, except she’s getting deathly skinny
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
I dunno why
But I always hated, hated, hated Claire Danes. Something about her I can’t stand.
So, you’re wrong.

I like how Kristen Stewart insulted the doltish fans of ...
Twilight. As it is, Stewart can earn herself some coin starring in those crappy movies, while doing way more substantive films on the side — such as Adventureland, Into the Wild, and The Runaways, et cetera — so props to her.
On a side note, here’s one of many reasons to see The Runaways next year.
Also, Stewart’s Joan Jett esque haircut is mighty stylish in my book. Though, as mentioned by cloudydays, she does look high as a kite.

A lot of it was political and unBEdge in nature anyways.
Then some of it was just about girls, and no one around here knows about them. SO IT ALL MAKES FOR A BORING Story. Pretty much.
Although I will leave this to the ladies;
Why do girls frequently ask guys to open up with emotions and then act awkward and confused about it when it happens?

I think she's had some work too
You might like this link: http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/fashion/galleries/shes_how_old/shes_how_old.html#ph0
I think Dakota Fanning is average, but I'll openly admit both Emma Watson and Miley Cyrus ...
are relatively attractive—especially Cyrus. Watson, however, is of legal age, while Cyrus definitely looks and sounds older than 16. Cyrus also acts older, as is noted by her having dated a 20-year-old model earlier this year.
Why, by the way, isn’t there a countdown clock for Cyrus? Heck, I remember when the laughably overrated Olsen twins had a countdown clock earlier this decade. That, without question, turned out to be an epic fail.
Here are some other random comments of mine regarding that site.
Evan Rachel Wood’s look doesn’t do it for me, although I feel she’s an extremely talented actress.
Hayden Panettiere is a borderline midget, but that works if someone is into the spinner physique.
I’ve never heard of Demi Lovato. Yet, as it concerns the Disney Channel, the only adolescent stars I know of are Cyrus, Haley Joel Osment’s younger sister who co-stars on Cyrus’ stupid show, and the Mexican girl who rambled about purity rings alongside the Jonas Brothers.
I hate country music with a passion, but I’ve got friends who listen to that tripe. That aside, though, Taylor Swift is hot in that “Should’ve Said No” video. Now, in an attempt to regain my credibility, let me flat-out proclaim that “Love Song” is lyrically one of the most bland, hackneyed piles of bullcrap in music history. Yet, that’s just par for the course all those trite, clichéd country songs out there.
I didn’t know at all that Julia Roberts’ niece, Alec Baldwin’s daughter, and freaking Elvis Presley’s granddaughter were even famous. Ah, never mind, I recall when Baldwin’s daughter hit the news after he called her a “pig” over the phone or something. Man, that was a hilariously overblown non-story. It was funny to me that people made a big deal out of nothing, though.
Taylor Momsen, who looks like a young Lady GaGa in those pics, is another supposedly famous person I’ve also never heard of prior to this morning. At any rate, I’m not a fan of that over-the-top glam style; it just comes across phony to me.
After watching a few episodes of Living Lohan, I concluded Ali Lohan looks like a transvestite and sounds like a man. I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s had that mean-spirited thought, either.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Have you seen Bruce and Demi's daughter?
She’s got a monster jaw. She was in House Bunny.
I think Hayden is probably my favorite out of those. I remember her as the dork from Malcolm in the Middle.
I, too, remember Hayden Panettiere and her frizzy hair on Malcolm in the Middle.
Rumer Willis looks like a female Jay Leno, which is the furthest thing from a compliment.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
That jaw is terrifying.

Yes! Yes! In the face!
She's really cute but a bit too small for me personally, I can definitely see the attraction in fancying perfectly legal girls who look 15.

Eh, the legal age of consent in the United Kingdom is 16.
As a result, Emma Watson was technically good to go awhile ago.
I think that the legal age of consent in the United States should be 16 nationwide, but I don’t make the rules.

Well, I just think some age restrictions in the United States are ridiculous.
For one example, the legal drinking age should be 18—there’s no denying it.

i deny it
kids are still in hs at 18. i think everything should be 19 excluding driving and joining the military. i think when you are 15 you should be able to get a permit and a provisional license until you are 19 with restrictions like the current permit ones. and you should be able to join the military at 17 but only if you have graduated and or got a GED. but i think once you join the military you should be given the same privilages as a 19 y/o.

That's a really nice jacket.
The bag is enormous and would look ungainly in real life though.
She looks good in the pic though, although she has a lot of eyeshadow on lol. Admittedly I don’t find Emma Watson all that attractive, although she’s probably the best looking girl in the Harry Potter franchise, that’s not saying much. My friend really digs her though.

Who is another purty girl in the HP franchise?
She isn’t my “type”, but for whatever reason I think she is cute, but looks 15. I didn’t even know she was 19, as said above.
How was the new HP movie?
I don't think there is another purty girl.
Ron’s sister was supposed to be cute in the book, according to the HP legions, but in the movie she isn’t. I don’t remember any of the others really. Although there was that one Asian chick. But I don’t remember what she looks like.
As far as the movie, I only saw it because a friend of mine (the one that <3s Emma Watson) told me he needed someone to see it with and paid for my ticket lol. So I didn’t have real expectations for the movie. It was moderately entertaining. I didn’t read past the fourth book though, so it was all new to me.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
I like the books
I haven’t really liked the movies, so I’ve never been in a rush to see them.
As far as Ron’s sister goes, I always figured she was someone who was decent looking enough but became cuter from Harry getting to know her… like in real life. I think she was cast well, since she shouldn’t be HOT hot.
They’re tough books to adapt, with too much necessary to cut out and everyone knowing exactly what is being cut out as they watch it.
She didn’t look that good, at least when younger in the movies. There was one girl who could see the invisible animals in the Order of the Phoenix that was kinda cute (don’t know her name, not the Harry Potter expert), but I did like Hermione/Emma Watson best in terms of cuteness. She reminds me of a friend from high school, or rather a mix of two.
What are you talking about??
Brittney Spears is in the new HP movie …..she plays a character that wasn’t in the book and was added by the studio head. The character’s name is Lezibell and has an affair with the Emma Watson character.

CASEY HOLDAHL makes a point for COY for Nate
This is not a new post from Casey, I just think Nate should be in the running.
And while on the topic of rookies, how about Coach McMillan integrating four first year players into the rotation, and ending up better for it? The Cavaliers and Rockets added veterans and the Magic basically stood pat, but the Trail Blazers added four fresh faces and still improved dramatically. What other coaches have been put in that kind of situation, let alone excelled when confronted with it? In fact, the Portland Trail Blazers are the first team in NBA history to win 50 games with four rookies appearing in 50-plus contests. Read that again and then try to make a case against McMillan for Coach Of The Year.http://trailblazerscentercourt.blogspot.com/2009/04/case-nate-mcmillan-for-coach-of-year.html
A 19-year old French rookie whom many assumed would spend the majority of the season pulling stints in the D-League. If that’s not an indication of superior coaching prowess, then what is?
I guess he has a point here, but my excitement is tied into how will these rooks improve. If just 2 of the 4 improve significantly, say Batum and Oden…I shutter to think.

Sorry, it’s past my bedtime and coherency is not my forte at this hour.
I just mean Casey made some good points back in April (I believe it was April). With 4 rooks playing 50+ games and that kind of record, Blazers still stand to improve at a very fast rate next year. I can’t remember what the record of the other teams playing 4 rooks, but it isn’t pretty.
All in all, just looking forward to the excitement of the new season, while trying to patiently wait for it.

Question for the capsters
Stein was talking about how the Knicks are going to tender one-year QOs to Lee and Robinson, then allow them to become UFAs in the summer of 2010 so they can sign their max FA.
Do you keep a player’s Bird rights if he becomes a UFA? For example, could the Knicks sign Wade to a max-level deal, then go over the cap resigning Lee and Robinson?
The Michael Ruffin of BlazersEdge, cuz Amlmart said so.
Nope....you have to renounce the rights
I am about 90% certain

by 92wastheyear on Jul 31, 2009 8:59 AM PDT up reply actions
If you put somebody on the 1-year QO
there’s no cap hold, because when that player’s contract ends he’s a free agent. So you get his Bird rights until the contract ends, but if you don’t resign him before that, you lose them? That makes sense and would keep people from circumventing the cap to sign FAs that aren’t theirs.

by 92wastheyear on Jul 31, 2009 9:10 AM PDT up reply actions
Here is what the salary cap FAQ says in this case
In short unless you renounce the Bird rights to a player, they carry a cap hold. How much of a cap hold depends on a bunch of factors.
So in Lee’s case, if he signs a QO this year, then the Knicks could sign Wade to a max-level deal (provided that with Lee’s cap hold there is space for a deal that large), and then resign Lee to a deal.
ok...that sounds fair
QO is a contract ….so it makes sense

A three-pointer is not a "trey." A trey is either an ESPN sportscaster or something that bad spellers eat cafeteria food on. - Dave on Mar 20, 2009 10:00 PM PDT
The game is packaged with the Motion Plus, so that makes sense.
I’ve heard that without it the game works, but not as precise.

We screened an immigration-related documentary at my work last night
and the guy who produced it was one of the co-founders of Harmonix, the company that developed Guitar Hero. I almost pooped myself with excitement, because I love Guitar Hero, and the guy was way more excited to talk about game development and video game economics/politics than he was to talk about the film.
We talked for like 25 minutes while I tended the bar, and eventually his handler had to come and get him to make him circulate and do the small talk that he was there for. His band actually played a lot of the covers that made it into GH I, II, and Aerosmith…if you ever play Soy Bomb, you’re playing his guitar part. Coolest guy worth tens of millions of dollars that I’ve ever met.

It’s nice that he is putting some of his money to work for documentaries, even if that’s not his first passion. Jeff Skoll of Ebay/Paypal e.g. funded Thank You For Smoking and a documentary about fast food if I’m not mistaken.
Wow
he’s also funded An Inconvenient Truth, Fast Food Nation, The Kite Runner, and Darfur Now. I couldn’t find anything on Wikipedia about him funding Thank You For Smoking…but regardless, what a good movie that is.

I worked for a small company in MD that was a mercenary group essentially. We worked with everyone. We didn’t make games, but we made games work. I did a certain amount of testing, but mostly, I watched projects, dates, and wrote design documents/specs. My primary responsibility was tracking and see all of our EA projects through completion. I spent about half a year working on a Madden iteration. It was pretty crazy—It was also a lot of hours…

It was a good job. I was 22/23 bright-eyed, just out of college. I worked a lot of hours though, like 70 a week. I didn’t have any idea as to what to do with myself post-college. More than anything, I was happy to not be eating Ramen and worrying if I had enough money in my account to do laundry. After a while though, I came to the conclusion that there are three things in life to pursue: a career, a woman, and a place. I’m not one for a career. My relationship at the time was a confused web of misdirection and drives. So, I decided if I didn’t know what to do with the other, I might as well live somewhere I wanted to be. So, I packed everything up and moved to Portland. I’m not sure if it was a good decision, but I really like Portland, and I don’t have that itch one gets when they look to the horizon. As for those two other things in my life, they are just as empty as before I moved (so i don’t know what that means…). Now, I work for a non-profit; manage my station in cubical farm so to speak (I do copyright stuff).

You're a very good writer
maybe you should pursue that! It was bold of you to just pick up and move to a new place…I just graduated from college and don’t have that wanderlust yet, because all my friends are a year younger than me; I’m going to stay in the area and work for a year to keep hanging out with them. But after that, I have no concrete plans and nothing more than a general idea of what I want to do with my life. Maybe I’ll steal a page from your playbook and just go somewhere.
I’m surprised that you decided that there are three things in life to pursue and then enumerated them. From the two weeks I’ve read your posts here (and yes, I realize that is a wholly absurd comment considering what’s about to follow) you don’t strike me as the kind of person who would feel that way about life. It’s kind of antithetical to the whole philosophizing ethos, isn’t it?

Sort of, sure. I could enumerate different ways to see the world, or the importance of pursuing virtue—all things to convince myself that i’m either living right, or I’m a good person. At the end of the day, though, I think you need to find a way to live with yourself, and face the mirror, day in, day out. Those three things just set the parameters or frame work for that to take place. I don’t want to rationalize or justify my life—I need to live it, let it unfold and flow like a river. I don’t have any answers. Every day I lose a little bit of what I spent all day yesterday trying to learn.
My best friend was a year below me, so that helped me stick around at first. When he graduated, the place became a ghost town—a memory of what once was. I could have stayed, but the time came for me seek out something unknown.

I watched an immigration-related documentary last night that pulled back the curtain on an organization called FAIR, which hides its xenophobic racism behind a veneer of concern about the societal strains of illegal immigration. This is a quote from a major FAIR field operative:
“I can make the argument that just because one believes in white separatism that that does not make them a racist,” Turner wrote in 2005. “I can make the argument that someone who proclaims to be a white nationalist isn’t necessarily a white supremacist. I don’t think that standing up for your ‘kind’ or ‘your race’ makes you a bad person.”

Just saw some pretty unathletic baseball players with normal ca. 6'0'' size and weight for the Athletics vs. the Red Sox and thought "mhm, that could have been me if I had learned baseball in high school"
Anyone else sometimes think you could be pretty good at a sport that you never really tried? Regardless of if you really are or not, just if you think you would fit.
Simmons & Co. came up with some pretty good sports for athletic basketball players in their last podcast, like volleyball or handball. I could see that, e.g Buddinger was a good volleyball player and size and leaping ability and reaction are important qualities for that. He also has the idea that some basketball players would be great soccer players, which is more doubtful since that requires totally different skills not the least of which are foot-eye-head coordination instead of hand-eye coordination and more endurance. He also thought LeBron would be a good 800m runner, which as being a former one myself I would dare to disagree with, he is much too heavy for anything beyond 200 meters.
LeBron
would not be a good 800m runner. He’s waaaay too big. I ran the 800m too! Dabbled in the 400m and 1500m. You run either of those?

As a teenager yes, 800 and 1500. And before specializing on middle distance running kinda decathlon as a kid to get to know all disciplines.
Not a good soccer player, but I was a decent goalie in handball and soccer as Morty says below. I endlessly trained in our living room throwing a soft foam ball against a big terrasse window and then trying to react quick enough to defend it as a kid.
How fast were you in the 800m?
(also, is that a rude question? I feel like among serious runners it’s not because they spent/spend so much of their time doing it that they’re usually happy to talk about the results, but I’m always hesitant to ask)
I ran a 1:56.4 my senior year of high school but hated running so much at that point that I didn’t pursue it in college. Now I wish I had a little bit, just to know how fast I could have run.

I commented at some length about it in Dave’s post about PEDs. I was doing it very seriously and came to a little above 1:50, but wouldn’t have been able to further pursue it without moving to another city and really training professionally over the winter. The top in track and field is awfully small, which makes it more susceptible to cheating and/or more attractive to poorer countries.

I think 18, I stopped competing a year later when I went to civil service and college. I ran 1 km under 3 minutes when I was 13. I was lightweight at about 160 pounds and about 5’10’’ to 5’11’’ at the time. A good front runner, very good endurance up to 5 km and above built from biking and trekking in the mountains, not the best punch on the finish line (I ran 200m in about 23 seconds). We dabbled a bit in steeple chase, but that’s even more dominated by Kenya and other non-European countries. Really no chance beyond the national level to ever win anything. I have seen how the best guys train, and how African runners are built and train. They weigh nothing and fly through the savannah :)

To medal in a European junior national championship at the time (U19), you would have needed 1:47,50. And that doesn’t earn you money beyond a stipend from the state and some local sponsor who pays for your shoes, maybe travel. There is very little money after the extreme peak. And that’s a problem in a lot of non-team sports. I know good athletes who started with marathon because there is a little more to make there.

And a good soccer goalie.
I had very good leaping ability, especially off of a two foot stand-still leap, and good eye-hand coordination.
And since picking up tennis later on, I wish I played it as a kid, but I’ll get the kids into it. I had a baseball scholarship, but I wasn’t great, and I think I coulda’ done better in other sports that I enjoyed more.

This is probably true
which is very funny to me. I’m a good athlete: not excellent in any one sport except for when I was regularly running, but good enough to hold my own in most sports. I never played baseball growing up but I played everything else. Now I’m playing slow-pitch softball in my think tank league, and I suck at it! Something about the coordination involved in swinging a bat and hitting the ball where I want it to go is totally different from all the other sports I played.

If you have enough skill and eye hand coordination
You can overcome almost any lack of athleticism in baseball. Raw athletes do not do well.
Only basketball players I can see being good at soccer are point guards, but still...
Apparently Nash is a pretty solid player which was probably the basis the entire argument. Typical Simmons. You just don’t see many big soccer players. It’s really hard to run that much and way at that size. I get shin splints if I play soccer even with just 10 extra pounds of tiger meat.

I'd think Blake would be the most competitive
As far as least, that’s a tough one. Based purely on body language, it would be Oden.
This year, KP seems to have shed those that may have had other interests or agendas than winning a title.
other than Broy and Pryz, i doubt any of these guys have their #1 goal as winning the title...
they secretly want minutes, admiration and a big fat contract before a title….
none of these guys have been paid or in the process of getting paid other than Przy
i don’t know, i’m sure i’m in the minority thinking about this…

I suspect LMA...
is right behind Roy. He’s pretty competitive…

Office Coffee Etiquette
I think coffee making duties are a microcosm of company culture. If you’re got a strict hierarchy, you can bet someone’s a coffee bitch. If people are out for themselves, people will polish off a pot and then sneak out of the break room, then act outraged when the empty pot is discovered. I’ve even known some offices where coffee is replenished at specific times. Not surprisingly, that office is dialed, but not very good at adapting to change.
One of my favorite things about where I work is that there’s a socialistic manifesto next to the coffee maker about how all employees are equally responsible for coffee making duties, no individuals are greater than the whole, so on… and then there’s a picture of Che.
How does it work at your office?
"Estos tíos están locos"- Rudy Fernandez
(this was posted like a week ago in another JD. You should print it out and put it below the manifesto. Also, get a french press and some ground coffee—tell your coworkers your new coffee habits represent the monarchy of civics.)

You know what I just realized
I’ve always been pro-Oden and whatnot, but I just realized the worst part about not drafting Durant is that OKC fans get to watch him. I was cool with it when he was in Seattle. I’d still rather have Oden, it’s lame someone like KD is in Oklahoma. It just seems wrong that a player so fun to watch, is on some hijacked franchise instead of a cool franchise.

Bored OT question:
My father was stationed in Europe when I was a baby, and while visiting Turkey my mother bought a gold “Turkish cross” for me. I wear it on a gold chain because it’s nice, but I’m not religious and realized it’s not cool of me to wear a Christian symbol, if indeed it is. I’ve since been trying to research what it means, but I can’t figure it out. I know Turkey is predominantly Muslim as well, so I’m stumped. Anybody hear of such a thing as a Turkish cross that looks like an axe? Norsktroll?
Make the music with your mouth Prz
Salaam.
The Greek Orthodox church is pretty strong in Turkey as well. Istanbul/Constantinople was a center of Christianity for a long time, the Hagia Sophia began life as a Christian cathedral and the four big minarets and other features to make it into a mosque were added much later (it’s neither since the secular revolution in Turkey anymore). If it is a double cross, it could be even a Russian Orthodox symbol.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenical_Patriarchate_of_Constantinople
No, I knew about the Christian history but it really doesn’t look like a cross to me, just an axe. I don’t have a camera, but it’s yellow gold and looks more or less like one of these axes below, and has what might be Arabic writing on the back. It has five dots on the handle between the blades arranged in what could be a vague representation of a cross, but that might be a stretch.

I suppose it more closely resembles the bottom one, and it is upside down if that is significant.

It’s minoan…
In Minoan Crete, the double axe ( labrys) had a special significance, used by women priests in religious ceremonies. In 1998 a labrys, complete with an elaborately embellished haft, was found at Cham-Eslen, Canton of Zug, Switzerland. The haft was 120 cm long and wrapped in ornamented birch-bark. The axe blade is 17,4 cm long and made of antigorite, mined in the Gotthard-area. The haft goes through a biconical drilled hole and is fastened by wedges of antler and by birch-tar. It belongs to the early Cortaillod culture.

Whether or not 10 gigs will be sufficent depends largely on how much online video you want to watch
I am on a 10 gig plan (I live in Alaska so I understand why the unlimited plan is so expensive, but I still think that it is stupid), and in a typical month we use 4-7 gigs. But we have really cut back on YouTube/Hulu/etc. to ensure that we don’t have overages. So being on a metered plan will force you to curtail some of your Internet activites, but for e-mail/surfing/online games/BEdging 10 gigs should be more than enough.

I honestly don’t care about that account anymore. Dave and Ben are working right now to find out why I was banned. That’s all that I care about. I just want moderators to be held accountable for their actions. The emails I sent to them prior to posting with my Blazerschamps2010 account should have made it obvious that I am not TiR, however they still banned me. They also failed to send me an email to notify me about the details of the banning. I’ve also had problems when trying to receive help from various mods. THAT is what I’m truly annoyed about.
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
Just watched Oden on PTI. I'm telling you, if the man doesn't play 82 games+ in a season this talk about being injury prone will never stop
Just immediately prior the guys on ATH gushed about what kind of potential Bynum has and that the Lakers will repeat-the-three-peat and whatever. Nobody talks about his injuries, and if they do more in the sense of “they prevented his breakout to greatness” and not “oh oh, his body might not hold up”.
What can ya do? Just forget about what the guys on ATH say about Oden.
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
They didn’t say anything about him, they mentioned Bynum. PTI had “5 good minutes” with Oden, but the topic is and remains his health. And that won’t change until he is completely healthy, no big injuries, no freak injuries, nothing. It’s a shame, but that’s what it will be.
He could never, ever be hurt again and I'd bet he'd STILL have the injury prone label
Once someone slaps that label on you, it never comes off. Look at Hinrich.
He did a really good job responding to them, though
I was mad on Greg’s behalf, too – so many good things they could have asked, and they spent forever talking about injuries – and not even so much the one’s he’s had as potential future injuries.
In honor of the dearly departed, I declare July PB&J month - everyone raise a sandwich to the memory of Ben!
That is so lame
I saw up above that Oden was on ESPN so I’ve been watching crap for an hour waiting for him to come back on. PTI was being recorded when I walked me dog. A little more detail next time friends, please. I still love everyone and stuff.

Freeland is happy in Malaga
Great coach, great team, great opportunity to play here for the next 5 years. Woot Woot.
“Venir al Unicaja y entrenar con Aíto es muy bueno para mí, ya que es un entrenador muy bueno para jugadores jóvenes que quieren seguir progresando, y eso es lo que quiero, ir mejorando día a día lo máximo posible”
“Es una gran oportunidad para mí poder jugar en Málaga los próximos 5 años. Para mí no es ninguna presión que el club haya apostado fuerte por mí con un contrato largo”
“Yo voy a hacer cada día mi trabajo, tengo mucho tiempo para seguir progresando y ahora estoy muy satisfecho con poder estar en un club como Unicaja. Durante todo el tiempo que ha durado la negociación tenía la idea de que quería venir a Málaga”
someday, people will lament spending so much time and energy following players that never come to the states.

Freeland will be an NBA player, just not sure it will be with the Blazers. Could be in three years together with Claver. Both have the potential to be matchup problems for their opponents. Koponen more likely not, although that might change if he gets more playing time to develop. And following them is pretty easy with Google News.
I feel like practising my Spanish, time to translate.
Coming to Unicaja and training with Aito is very good for me, since he is a very good coach with young players that want to keep progressing, and that is what I want, bettering myself as much as possible day by day.
Playing in Málaga for the next five years is a great oppurtunity for me. There is no pressure in the fact that the club have invested heavily in me through a large contract.
I’m going to do my job every single day, I have a lot of time to keep developing and now I am very satisfied being with a club like Unicaja. The whole time during the negotiation process I had the idea that I wanted to come to Málaga.

There are subtle differences in flavor, texture, and bouqet.
Also, Icees are available at KMart and Slurpees are 7-11. Whether one of these is an advantage is yet to be determined.

The Icee was invented by a 7-11 employee…..who left and then made a bajillion dollars. Then 7-11 reverse engineered the Icee and that became the Slurpee.

actually the slurpee
was “invented” when some sodas were put in a freezer to cool them down — and they became all slushy. Bob Stanford, a 7-Eleven agency director, coined the term “Slurpee” in 1967.Early prototypes for the Slurpee machine made use of an automobile air conditioning unit. Winnipeg, Canada is generally thought to be the Slurpee capital of the world, due to their amazing Slurpee fanaticism. American Slurpee is injected with air. Canadian Slurpee is not.

Some may find this interesting
and I’m just gonna go ahead and ask people not to talk about the youtube videos here, lest I start a flame war. I’m only providing an interesting link, I take no responsibility for people wanting to discuss it here. Here’s the description:
On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen.
“All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion – some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public’s reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.”
Each video is about an hour long. Maybe I should have said that first….

I hope I get tickets to that game in my quarter season package.
Last year I got lucky and instead of getting tickets to a preseason game like the other packages I got the home opener.
Lame. If you don’t get full season then you shouldn’t get a package at all. You don’t get much savings with 1/4 season. Instead you should just purchase individual tix for big games.
