9/17 Junk Drawer The Number 40

There is 40 days until the season starts!  40 days on the ark.  40 years of NERF.  A 40 year old virgin.  UB40.  40 richest under 40 (is norsktroll on this list?).  Long distance dedication from Casey Kasem's America's Top 40!  Fourty.  40 days of Lent.  WD-40 is fish oil.

 

This is interesting from Wikipedia:

 

The planet Venus forms a pentagram in the night sky every eight years with it returning to its original point every 40 years with a 40 day regression (some scholars believe that this ancient information was the basis for the #40 becoming sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims).

 

Oden will get 40 fouls in the first 8 games and Outlaw will shoot 40% on 40 jumpers from 40 cm outside the 3 point line (some want to trade him for the 40th pick.)

And 40 years since the Trail Blazers franchise was founded!

And no I’m not on some richest list. Just in the last hour I canceled my ESPN insider account because they were billing me monthly instead of just for one month (draft). I hate automatic renewals without any warning. And of course you have to do it by phone and can’t do it online.

I did use it occasionally especially for the NBA stories, but I don’t care about their mag and other promos, and the 6 or 12 months offer is much cheaper. At least call or write me and give me the option to do that instead of billing again after the 1 month is over.

And you can’t change it online. I would have changed it into a 6 months subscription, but all they have on file is your billing address. Not even what option you currently have and for how long. So I wasn’t interested in what the lady on the phone offered. Maybe at some time in the future, but that is not good service.

there are a lot of companies that won't do online account changes

I think they do it precisely because it’s more work to call up their customer support line, wait 15 minutes, argue with the person on the other end (because you just want to cancel, but they won’t stop asking stupid questions) than it is to get on the intertubes. I bet they get a lot of “extra” months charged to accounts precisely because people don’t want to deal with their “customer service”.

I had an NFL radio pass for like a year

I just wanted to listen to one game once. I had no idea they kept charging my card for the year. It was $10 a month too, when a season was something like 30 or 40. I tried to get the scoop on where the $10 bucks was going, it was under some strange name and no number or email I actaully had to write them a letter, like print out and send. Finally, a year and $120 later I stopped getting charged. Just to listen to one stupid game. To make it worse, the Eagles lost.

It took my two years to come up with an avatar and sig

  1. “Forty days” was the length of the period that the twelve spies explored the Promised Land (Numbers 13)
  2. “Forty years” is said to have been the length of Israel’s wandering in the wilderness. This period of years represents a generation, that is, the time it takes for a new generation to arise.
  3. Moses’ life is divided into three 40-year segments, separated by his fleeing from Egypt, and his return to lead the people out.
  4. Several Israelite leaders and kings are said to have ruled for “forty years”, that is, a generation.

I understand that the number 40 shows up a lot in the Bible

by tingeyga on Sep 17, 2009 9:17 AM PDT up reply actions  

One thing that jumped out at me, that I pull from all these little notes, is the idea that a life was 40 years in length. Today, we hold the milestones of 30, 40, and sometimes 50 as major marks in life. I think if you had a set number that most people died on, like 70, you would see 35 become an important number…. that’s sort of what I’m drawing from it, though…

Stories about a big flood are present in texts from different cultures/religions. So there might be some truth to it. Probably some kind of tsunami in the Mediterranean or some other kind of rapidly rising waters.

The pick then came to Utah in another nasty trade a month later. And they sit on it ever since.

2004-02-19 Suns Keon Clark, Ben Handlogten Tom Gugliotta, 2004 first round pick (less favorable of Suns & Knicks) (#16-Kirk Synder), 2006 protected first round pick (top 25 in 2006, top 24 in 2007, top 23 in 2008, top 22 2009, unprotected 2010) (?-?), 2005 second round pick (#60-Alex Acker), cash trade with Jazz

Maybe they would take a big man, but I wouldn’t put it past them to take Wall and decide later if Wall or Williams play SG. They both could in size, and Williams occasionally does.

OKC also has an unprotected pick from the Suns

Yeah they wanted to get rid of Gugliotta’s deal. Same with Kurt Thomas and the two picks they gave OKC/Seattle for him. Suns fans should be really mad at how their team screwed them out of all those assets by selling draft picks and expensive contracts. Imagine you would have John Wall learning behind Steve Nash for 1-2 more years until Nash retires. Or held onto the draft picks for Deng/Iguodala, Rudy, Sergio, Joe Johnson’s contract … It’s incredible what they gave away.

9/9/09 10:44 p.m. Six coyotes surrounded a man on Sixth Street and D Avenue and prevented him from getting out of his car. An officer arrived to help scare them away.

9/10/09 8:30 p.m. An 11-year-old girl refused to speak to her mother while staying at her father’s home.

9/10/09 9:20 p.m. A woman’s upstairs neighbor threw water at her because she was smoking on her deck.

9/11/09 1:48 p.m. Large potted plants valued at $2,500 were tipped over at Lake View Village.

9/11/09 6:44 p.m. An argument broke out in a video store, and police had to separate the people involved before things got physical.

9/12/09 12:33 p.m. After being warned about telephonic harassment, a man went over to his ex-girlfriend’s house and started yelling.

9/12/09 3:04 p.m. A mannequin in front of a downtown pub was robbed of its fire helmet and badge.

9/13/09 12:21 p.m. The word "Lakeridge" was keyed onto a man’s vehicle.

I see coyotes frequently here at night

I live just a couple of blocks away from that spot and walk my dog latenight (after midnight)all the time. The coyotes come out of Tryon Creek State Park and prowl 1st Addition. They would usually saunter away from the dog and me, unless the dog started chasing them. Lots of deer in the ‘hood too. Mostly they retreat back into the park during the day but several times I’ve seen them wandering around in the middle of the day. One bold one would only bother to run a little ahead of my dog when I let her chase him and then he’d stop and look back at us.

The “not letting him out of the car” thing seems a little over the top though.

she chases them, and the deer

Here’s the semi-scary part though – we live next to the park and have a 300 foot long driveway surrounded by the woods. I walk up that thing in pitch dark when I go walk the mutt (lab mix). So far no problems but it does cross my mind as I walk up the driveway through the woods unable to see anything but a glimmer of streetlights at the top of the driveway.

Human gestation cycle: 40 weeks

“because the Law was given in ten commandments, then it is through the whole world that the Law has been preached, and the whole world is composed of four parts, Orient and Occident, South and North; therefore, by multiplying ten by four, we obtain forty. Or well, it is by the four books of the Gospel that the Law is accomplished.” – St. Augustine on ‘40’

In some savage tribes, after the circumcision, the males had to withdraw themselves in the bush for a period of solitude of 40 days at the end of which they could then return to the village.

There had 40 mourning nights in the mysteries of Persephon and 40 days of sacrifices in the greeting of Mithra.

Philip-August and Saint-Louis enforce the regulation “Forty-the-Roy”, period of 40 days where it was forbidden to any Lord to attack the nearest relatives of the offender.

Birthday of person in Japan: beginning of the old age – shoro.

Forty is an octagonal number, and as the sum of the first four pentagonal numbers, it is a pentagonal pyramidal number. Adding up some subsets of its divisors (e.g., 1, 4, 5, 10 and 20) gives 40, hence 40 is a semiperfect number
.
Given 40, the Mertens function returns 0. 40 is the smallest number n with exactly 9 solutions to the equation φ(x) = n.

The ghosts of the dead hang around the site of their death, according to Russian belief, for 40 days.

“Forty winks”, means a short sleep.

“40 acres and a mule” is the colloquial term for compensation (REPARATIONS!) that was to be awarded to freed American slaves after the Civil War.

If by recently you mean this decade of his career, you are right :-)

He’ll give you about 4 points and 2 rebounds in 10 minutes. It’s really the worst signing so far, or the one that shows the least willingness to take any risk with a more expensive or younger player. And you won’t get anything significant for him at the deadline either. At the deadline they passed on everything somewhat risky, and in the draft they passed on Blair. Mhm, Blair who might have bad knees or a washed up guy and one with a bad hip…

It certainly does seem that way

I don’t really understand what Juwon brings to the table that an available younger, cheaper player who could improve couldn’t.

And it does seem like he is risk adverse, not that it is a bad thing to be for the cornerstones of your team, but for a backup 4 I think that you could probably take a flier on a player with 1st round talent and the knees of a 40 year old in the second round

by tingeyga on Sep 17, 2009 12:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

part of the thinking might

be something along the lines of “why get a young player that could improve when he won’t get significant minutes and isn’t part of a long term plan?” Another young, hungry,
really-wants-minutes type of player might not be any better than for the Blazers than a way past his prime 40 year old veteran because the young guy could put up a fuss about not getting PT. At the end of the day, we’re talking about the 10th, 11th, or 12th guy on the bench that’s gonna get garbage minutes and in case (knock on wood, a huge chunk of wood) of an injury.

I think that Norsk's point is

that there was a player available in the 2nd round of the draft who could have possibly carried the load if LMA goes down, but wasn’t even on the draft board due to questions about his knees.

Was there risk associated with this player? Yes, but the cost was minimal and with a very real reward.

I don’t really care if it’s Blair or someone else, I’m just observing that they go the low risk low reward route. Blair’s knees really might be shot in 2 or 3 years, but until then he would be a rebounding monster. Swift also isn’t great, but at least he is athletic.

If Jeff Pendergraph was just a couple of inches taller, then he could've ...

projected out as a rugged man-to-man defender and efficient scorer in the post like Erick Dampier. Yet, because of Pendergraph’s relatively short 6’9" stature, he’ll have a hard time bodying up against true centers on defense and scoring over them on offense.

Oh, and with regards to Juwan Howard, Oregon native Josh Davis — who currently plays for Panellinios in the Greek League — would’ve been a better option as a pick-and-pop 4, even though that wasn’t a pressing need with Dante Cunningham already in the fold.

I think if he can get strong enough to compensate and stay a solid player

Just by being solid he’ll be better than most backups, since there’s always such a dearth of good bigs.

I ain’t saying I think he’ll be a starter, or be a real good player, but I envision dependable solidness— and if he can get strong enough, that’ll make him a good roleplayer.

Not someone you build around, but someone who fills out a roster and you don’t worry when he’s out there.

But we’ll see, I can’t accurately predict what he’ll be without seeing him in the NBA.

by Mortimer on Sep 17, 2009 4:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

it might not be as bad as people figure

The Blazers have done quite well without him over the past few years— went 6-0 without him in ‘07-’08 and took Cleveland to OT on the road in ‘08-’09.

If he’s gone for 20+ games, we’re still in trouble, but he’s not as important as it seems at first.

I have a fantasy football question.

I have Anthony Gonzalez but am going to drop him now. Percy Harvin is my backup but I want to get another WR. Should I get Earl Bennett or Michael Clayton. I don’t know enough about the NFL these days to know which of these guys would be best. ESPN has them projected the same but I’m looking for someone I can keep for a significant amount of time rather than a one-week wonder. Advice?

Idol, you used to live in LA, right?

What was your favorite neighborhood to live in?

by Mortimer on Sep 17, 2009 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

I only lived in LA when I was a kid

San Diego most of my young life. I lived in Burbank, Canoga Park, and Tijunga in the first six years of my life. But god that was awhile ago. Of those, definitely Burbank – but Canoga Park was old people leaving and turning into a ghetto (guess it is getting nicer again now tho) and Tijunga is in the hick sticks and I didn’t care at all for that personally. Burbank has horrible traffic on side streets as I recall but it’s a nice place to live. If I was forced to live in LA now, I would probably entirely base where I lived on where I had to go every day. Otherwise, I’d live in the hills over looking Santa Barbara and telecommute.

I like the nicer weather here though… not as hot.

But getting to wife’s work from there would take a while, since most of the South Bay isn’t close to a freeway… it’d be all surface streets.

I don’t think he is a real “cancer”, just a grumpy guy. I haven’t heard stories about him helping younger players to develop, and as a leader when he was still able to play at a high level he about always failed. Maybe such stories exist, but in his last stops they didn’t really get reported or anything materialized. It wasn’t like some young big man suddenly developed better because he was there. I have heard something about a Juwan Howard foundation though, mostly active in Chicago (his home) and Washington, so off the court he is a good man.

Pritchard said he intends on entering the season with a full roster of 15. The final spot will be decided in training camp between three to five free agents Pritchard will bring in. Pritchard said he will reveal those free agents early next week and said the invitees will be a mixture of guards, forwards and centers.

Yeah, Richard Hendrix or Chris Richard would've been worth giving tryouts if Kevin Pritchard ...

was into bangers at power forward. I, however, think that Pritchard signed Paul Millsap to an offer sheet mainly place financial pressure on the Utah Jazz. Besides, the roster is already set at the third-string power forward spot with Dante Cunningham. As it is, the backup power forward spot — which is currently held by Travis Outlaw — and the third-string center spot are of concern here.

Actually you can check the tape of what happened on the show "Keeping up with the Kardashans"

(and I am not ashamed to know this)

anyways, so Khloe was thinking that Rashad was cheating on her, so Kim using some shady tricks hacked into his voicemail and hear a message from some other lady that he was supposed to meet up while he was on some road trip.

So then Khloe called up Rashad and confronted him. He admitted to it. Khloe said that he didn’t seem sorry about the whole thing.

Sickness from Common off of Cudi's new album
Long before we know ourselves,
Our paths are already set in stone.
Some may never figure out their purpose in life,
And some will.
There are a lot of us who are caught up in this hell we all live in,
Content with being blinded by rules and judgment.
We live in a world where it’s more okay to follow than to lead.
In this world being a leader is trouble for the system we are all accustomed to.
Being a leader in this day and age is being a threat.

Paradoxes!

You surprise me. I think id be ready to chill for a few days at home – but maybe not.
I usually don’t travel well myself. I think mainly it’s the food?…have to find some things that make me feel good. Restaurant-wise that’s hard to do. Usually find myself eating from a local grocery store by the end of a long trip. That’s not to say I didn’t find a few good restaurants this trip.
Way too soon for me (vacation ending), but this is the first time they approved 3 weeks in a row for my vacation.
That’s the drawbacks for a position that only 2 or 3 people do in this company. I take a lot of Mondays and Fridays off to use up vacation hours.

Yeah, I have been traveling for almost four months now!

I love traveling. Until this stretch, it hasn’t been hectic travelling at all..i’ve really gotten to enjoy and immerse myself at each leg of the journey…. I’m definitely not homesick.. but I do feel like I do need a break… maybe if I could make a bit more money as I traveled, it would be easier to go on and on like this…

i’m definitely happy that nothing is pulling me back but myself… :) glad I got to take 28 days in Spain and make it into a summer through Greece and Poland also!! :)

Food hasn’t been a problem.. I’ve definitely enjoyed some interesting good like greek yogurt is very interesting stuff….

Wow, has it been that long.

I think being able to set up camp and stay in one place for a while like you have is better. You get a feel for the area and have a chance to get comfortable with your surroundings.
And in your case where you actually have time to make some friends, it makes it harder to say goodbye. (I don’t know your itinerary – so assumption on my part)
I can live with 2 or 3 days in the same motel, but I hate a different Motel every night. This year was good actually, 10 days in a quaint Motel in Tarzana, CA.
I guess it all depends on what you’re doing; 2-4 days in some of the small coastal towns is usually enough for me.
Have a safe trip home. Hawks Rule!!!

Would you like some Stump Town coffee,

or shall I fly up to Seattle and bring some of Seattle’s Best?
Stump Town = Portland, I guess back in the beginning there were a lot of stumps from clearing out the trees.
See how erudite you are becoming.

Sandberg has a nice take: Juwan brings back the feeling of the 90s
That’s right, Juwan Howard, star of the Michigan Fab Five teams of the early 90s, is officially a Blazer. No word yet on whether Jimmy King or Jalen Rose will be signed to the final roster spot.

Howard will be filling the Channing Frye role of “big man who can’t rebound,” albeit with less personality.

Today’s signing got me thinking of the Blazer teams of the early 00s, who had a knack for signing aging superstars who were years past their prime. The Blazers of 2000-01 fielded a roster that included Scottie Pippen, Shawn Kemp, Rod Strickland, Detlef Schrempf, Damon Stoudamire, Stacy Augmon, and Steve Smith. All of them were great players … before they joined the Blazers.

Did you know ESPN fantasy football expert Matthew Berry was a story editor and writer for Married with Children and Crocodile Dundee in LA?

Can’t really say that it shows, apart from that he obviously knows how to write entertainment and it fits that he has some training in the entertainment industry like Simmons.

Yep

He actually got his start writing about fantasy sports, because the editors of the fantasy site that he started at where huge fans of Married With Children.

it made me smile, then i went to this;

I used to play this when my radio show got moved up to the 9 to 12pm slot (the album had just come out, and I’d try to sneak it in the first 30 minutes)…

I really like Tool

But I was deep in a hip hop/rap phase when they were on the rise. I definitely like going back and listening to them.

yeah, i don’t really like “heavy” stuff, but their music is really complex and involved. I don’t know much about music, but if you look at their scores there are a ton of time changes and strange dissonant chords. I find it pretty interesting stuff

by EvilKaramazov on Sep 18, 2009 8:32 AM PDT up reply actions  

I don’t know much either. I just know I like it when I hear it. The juxtapositions are in a similar vein to System of a Down, but I don’t know what the heck I am talking about.

With regards to music, I mostly like stuff with some sort of an edge and that ranges from Sade to Slayer.

I’m all over the place. I might go to three concerts next week, most of which will be indie/alternative stuff. My favorite album from the summer i think has been the new Grizzly Bear, album. This is the hit from it:

They have a sort of Beach Boys sound to them. It’s very cool (they’ll be in portland in less than a month).

by EvilKaramazov on Sep 18, 2009 8:43 AM PDT up reply actions  

That was high-larious. Now I can’t stop blinking one eye ahead of the other.

I think I saw the Meat Puppets are coming back to town. They are a pretty good show. Without them, there’d likely be no Nirvana as we know it.

I get the paper, so I don't care!

by Name's Ash on Sep 18, 2009 8:49 AM PDT up reply actions  

my impression of things are that concert season is typically spring and fall. I think 5 concerts in one week is the most I’ve ever done, and It was in spring last year. I’m trying to mellow out as much as possible these day..

by EvilKaramazov on Sep 18, 2009 8:54 AM PDT up reply actions  

That is a lot of concerts. My entertainment dollar right now is being spent on Ringling Brothers and Disney on Ice.

quick thoughts:

definitions of greatness (we’ve been talk a lot of jordan lately)—i’m think more about great americans.

If the blazers were dramatized, who would the actors be.
