Junking, August 28th style: Where to go when you don't know?

After having my harddrive die on me, I have spent little time in the land of the blogosphere lately. Though it is nice to be back. Fortunately, my computer still had two weeks of warranty left, and the techs fixed it for free. How often does that happen? Still, I have been spending my time trying to put files back, reorganize things and get everything back to the way it used to be, the way I was comfortable with it. 

One thing that was lost in this process was my site bookmarks. I have no idea what I used to read all the time. Since I had been using an RSS reader, I usually didn't go to a website directly that often. Of course, I didn't forget about here. Though it did take me a few tries to remember my password. And a few places I remember, but this is where I get to bring all of you guys in!

What are the places you like to visit to read Blazer News other than Blazers' Edge? Which places are reliable? Entertaining? Prompt? Was your store clean today? Did your cashier greet you? That kind of thing.

Of course there's room for all the other junk that goes in this drawer.

Have at it.

Good point.

And let me say that I would have to agree. I’ve met four girls in my entire life I would label as 11’s, and I’m not good friends with any of the four (two are actually now married).

There are certain things that are absolutes though, and if I’m not 100% positive about ‘em, I just can’t do it.

Kind of in that position now. I just can’t move the relationship forward until I know what she’s about.

by prezofdeath on Aug 28, 2009 1:03 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

and just a small fyi

when I call a girl an 11, I’m not just talking about looks. I’m talkin’ personality, morals, parents, IQ, work ethic, good with kids, etc. etc.

Those exam answers remind me of a friend I had in school who was a nice guy and pretty smart but not in an academic way.
In class a teacher once asked him “Michael, why don’t you say something about this?” Michael: “Moo!” Her face turned purple.
He also came up with the creative answer “a small light” to the question “what means slight?”.

Another friend drew a chart in a biology class that went something like Neanderthal → Homo Sapiens → Me, the crown of creation. The teacher wrote “New research suggests this is not the case”. We found that hilarious, though he probably just meant that Neanderthal was a dead end in evolution. Though that was ten years ago and now there seems to be some evidence that there were sexual relations between the two species which contributed to getting it out of the gene pool (together with environmental changes making it better suited for the hunting techniques of the modern human, a very small population of 10000 to 30000 individuals, and even genocide between the two species).

It always has been about competion for resources and still is

I refuse to believe that no Cro-magnon ever had “relations” with a Neanderthal,if they had an off spring that was capable of reproducing then they were by the commonly accepted Biological definition the same species.

by southern oregon on Aug 28, 2009 12:43 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Paleontologists don’t know if it could reproduce, but they found bones that suggest a mix of both species. Maybe he looked a bit like BRoy, only a foot smaller :)

And in modern-day Iraq a skeleton was found that suggests a Neanderthal was killed by a wound in the ribs from a projectile weapon, but Neanderthals didn’t have those light weapons (which contributed to their alleged bad hunting success when the climate changed a large part of their habitat into an open savanna). So he must have been killed by a homo sapiens. And in another place they found a Neanderthal jawbone that was cut with tools humans used to cut out the tongues of deer, suggesting he was eaten.

Then there is evidence from genome research that the population was tiny compared to what we are used to today on a planet with billions of individuals. A few thousand people spread across areas in two or three continents living in small groups isn’t a good method for improving and evolving your genes.

It likely was a combination of factors, and different groups reacted differently when meeting. Some peacefully, some violently. Like modern humans do.

The radical temp spikes in those days

meant that only the people who were smart and well organized enough to vote with their feet made the cut,that meant no slack for some other band that might want the same habitat.

Funnily the Neanderthals as a species survived an ice age in Europe. Then they became more or less extinct rather quickly for whatever reasons when it became warm again.

Most insane thing driving wise I’ve ever done.

but I did use to routinely drive from Eugene to Bend in a little over an hour. That is/was a lot of fun when the cars were few, but still, don’t do that anymore either. Actually there’s a stretch Between Eugene and Bend that was right at 90 miles and I used to try and hit that in an hour. I think downtown to downtown is more like 110 or 120 miles, so probably more like an hour and half for the whole distance.

From Wiki
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was one of the most influential English writers of the 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction.

I was listening to Canzano a week or two ago. I think it was before the Thomas Sanderson poster went through that elaborate rate-the-media rouse to simply bash on Canzano. Anyway, Canzano read an email or something from Dave basically apologizing for comments getting a little over the top. I don’t really remember the details or context, but I thought that was a little weird.

According to the People I know who work at the O, Canzano is a bit of an Ass (if Darkstar can say it, so can I)… A well intentioned ass, but an ass none the less… maybe he’s nicer to his “friends” I don’t know… his style drives a lot of people nuts, but a lot of people like it too… he’s polarizing I guess.

Blazers colors are pretty bold and modern, and it is likely tough to find in fine art.

The last time I went to NY, I was on a museum kick. I liked the MOMA. It was interesting, but I preferred the Museum of Natural History. Maybe it was because I went to see Mapplethorpe (sp? i dunno, I don’t think I’ll google him while at work) at the Guggenheim just prior to going to MOMA, and he made me reach my threshold for modern art too quickly.

I checked your blog. Please don’t take this as an insult, but I think your art would make awesome skateboard graphics (I think you’ll go much further). It is somehow clean and dirty at the same time, which is perfect.

He is a bit like Jamaal Crawford. When he is on, he is really on. But he can also shoot you out of a game. All in all he is a net positive. His Roland rating, Net Points on/off (+8.3) and PER/Opponent PER are the best after Anthony.

a lot

he is their Rudy. His TS% wasn’t quite as good as Rudy’s (.576 vs. .588 for Rudy) but Smith had a higher usage. Smith was one of the very best bench scoring options in the NBA last year.

Since they’ve also lost Kleiza, his minutes will be tough to replace. I think its very likely that losing Smith for 7 games will cost Denver one game in the final standings.

true, Smith and Kleiza don't play the same position

but they were both great options for shooting and scoring off the bench last year. Denver’s going to need to address that. Those two combined with Birdman and Anthony Carter to form a stellar bench last year… and the Nuggets have some work to do if they want to get the same production from their 2nd unit this year, though once Smith gets back they’ll still be solid.

i can see that, but I have also heard that he was forced into making some script changes that he felt lowered the quality. Also, I remember his stand-up at the time being really funny. But doing stand-up comedy and making that into a funny movie are clearly different levels of scope.

WELL

GROSSNESS TO FOLLOW.

The very expensive vet directed me to a specialist for Merc’s surgery to get the big ol’ lump off her butt. Specialist is very expensive, too expensive, and even after that cancels twice on our two different surgery days.

I am back at normal vet, who worries he won’t do a good enough job. I have faxed 4 other vets all the test results to show it’s just the lump on her butt, get it off. It has been sorta a mess just to get someone to take her lump off.

So, today was gonna finally be surgery day. S-Day. The vet I got for the surgery now, today, he had another surgery to do first and then by the time he got done with Mercury it might be too late to take her home— if a tendril from the growth got wrapped around her muscle like they worry, etc. Well, guess what. Vet’s office ain’t open on the weekend. They’d have to move her to the Pet Emergency Hospital overnight and do stuff there if it came up, and I feel bad but I simply can’t afford it. Thousands and thousands and thousands.

I say, okay, fine, Monday it is. I take Mercury home and go run on some errands.

I get back a few hours later, and she had gotten out of her protective donut thing around her neck for the first time, had ripped off her bandage, and had CHEWED A GAPING HOLE in her growth. Then, I guess, she went on a puppy parade, because blood was EVERYWHERE.

In every room of the apartment… even in both of our closets. Chunks of flesh from the tumor, thick gloppy drips of blood soaked into the carpet, splatter (actual splatter) on the walls. It really looked like a crime scene. Like someone got their head bludgeoned, they stumbled around while rubbing their open wound in the carpet, and then finally passing out on the couch.

I had blocked off the couch with our two coffee tables, but without her donut on she could leap over both and do some nice light napping on the couch while eating her tumor.

Oh, that Mercury!

She’s okay, when I got home she made that “I know I was bad” puppy face dogs make, and I took her into the tub to bathe her. She had chunks of ripped flesh caked into her tail already, and her face was covered in blood. Now that I think about it, and I know she’s okay, I wish I got a picture of it. Her face was so red with blood and chunks, it would look really cool. Especially with a headband.

I’ve been cleaning blood out of the carpet for 6 hours now. Thank goodness I know Oxyclean works so good! But it’s literally hundreds of thick drips that got a chance to dry (I was only gone for like 3 hours, so she did quick work) so you need to spray, then loosen the dried blood, soak up the now loose blood before it spreads, keep spraying, and so on until the tiny drop is gone. I’ve gone through 3 paper towel rolls and 2 big spray things of Oxyclean so far, and I still gotta do the bedroom and office.

This whole thing would be easier if my debit card hadn’t have been hacked, and before that a big job didn’t fall through. Bad month.

Mercury will be okay, she’s blocked in the kitchen while I clean. I hated having to “shop around” for a good vet I can afford, but it’s how it has to be.

I’m sorry fate has been mean to you lately, Morty. Supposedly bad things come in 3’s so we’ll hope and expect that things will get back to normal for you and Princess and Mrs. Morty. <3

That's what I thought too

She wants it out bad.

I couldn’t figure out why blood was splattered everywhere, until I remembered Mercury is a dog who likes to wag her tail when she walks. The growth is to the right of her tail, and her tail was drenched in blood when I got home. She had been wagging and flicking it all over the walls and the TV and couch and everywhere!

Thanks for offering to help clean up, but I couldn’t make ya even if you were here. I won’t even let the Misses help! It’s my own damn fault for leaving and not making sure the donut was laced up tight.

I drugged her because I’d get the bleeding on her lump to stop and she’d knock it on something, so I just need her to sleep a bit and let it clot up while I clean. Another thing I don’t like to do, but she gets real cute when drugged. And it’s important to get the bump back to non-bleeding-land, to last the weekend.

I’m a lucky guy, but just like the team that wins lots of close games and has a bad point differential, sometimes things even out a bit. We’ll all be okay though. Thanks Ann, and everyone, for your well wishes and concern. I really appreciate it.

It’d save a lot of cleaning, but it’s a cute tail and I like when she wags.

We had a sheepdog with a nub, and wagging the nub is cute but not the same. And you can’t knock over the same cup filled with pens on the coffee table with a nub over and over! Or bruise someone’s shins with how powerful the wags are.

Ok Tom I remember where I saw that tool

It was in a machine shop that had a surface grinder for milling metal parts to very pricise thickness’s.the movable arm part goes on to of the part[work?]and the left hand side goes on the table which has the same function as the fixed over arm part of a regular dial caliper but its a more accurate measurement.

by southern oregon on Aug 28, 2009 2:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just dont see in what scenario it would be more desirable than a caliper. Possibly if the object is too heavy to lift you might use that instead, but the imprecision in the surface that it is lying on compared to the other arm of a caliper would lead me to believe that it is less precise than a caliper.

That reminds me of my Japanese dorm mate. He was big into AC/DC, Queen, and the Rolling Stones. Anyway, he went to a record store looking for “Paint it Black”, by the Rolling Stones. He was having a hard time finding it so he asked a clerk. He had never seen the title written before, but he though he could just say the song lyrics. So, he found a clerk, and he asked,

“Excuse me, but can you help me find Penis Black?”

He was so embarrassed when he came back to the dorm.

Not in all states and countries. And it’s actually not that difficult (but fairly expensive). The catcher simulates a base station – or rather it is a base station without a connection to the network. The cellphone connects to the nearest one, which is that catcher, and boom no connection. Expensive theaters/operas, a number of companies and some cinemas in Europe use it.

Jonestr, I would be interested in your take on this

There is a thing in the freted instrument biz called the “magic number”.Keeping in mind thay any string in [under?] tension has a main harmonic point exactly at the center point and 2 others at specific locations. to locate the fret slots you divide the total string length by the magic number, that # is the spacing for the 1st fret,subtract that from the original string length and divide by the magic# and you have the spacing for the 2nd fret,you just keep on dividing and subtracting till you reach the 12th fret and you have arrived at exactly the center point no matter what the length of the string. I have pondered this all my adult life,used it and know it works but have never really been able to get a handle on why.

by southern oregon on Aug 28, 2009 8:17 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

are you asking why you get to the center after making 12 frets regardless of string length? I will have to look into this a bit and see if I can give any insight into it.

to get on the same page, when you say harmonic point do you mean that you put your finger at that fret and pluck the string and it is at the desired frequency?

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever

by jonestr on Aug 28, 2009 9:18 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you lightly lay your finger on the string without pressing on it you get a pleasant harmonic tone

If that reads 440 and it reads 440 when you press the string on the fret and pluck it the fret is properly located.

by southern oregon on Aug 28, 2009 9:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

clarifying question: when you strike a string is it always resonant on the lowest harmonic? That is, is the standing wave created have a profile such that it has an anti node between the finger and the bridge(is that the right word?)

If the instrument is properly intonated[adjusted?]

You can get a ping out of in the center point without pressing it against the finger board,if you get the same[I use a digital device] note[frequency? A is usually 440] when you press the string down at the 12th fret then the fret is in the proper place relative to the string length
