9/2 Junk Drawer

Terryporter_tiny by prezofdeath on Comment 791 comments

This is the junk drawer. Use it.

So what's new with everyone? I have had nine thousand two hundred different things going this week, so I been pretty busy, but things are settling down a bit. My love life has gone crazy*, but BRP is gone so I don't know what to do. I think he's on vacation staying in some ritzy hotel that's probably $920 bucks a night or something.

A question I posed on Facebook this week: When is it ok to start playing Christmas music? It has to be at least 92 days till Christmas, but nevertheless, I started this week with this song.

And if you've spent more than 9.2 seconds reading this post, you should know why I'm linking to these comments:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And just for fun, the profile of the day.

*Note: I will be missing BEdge bowling tomorrow. I had something pop up at the school I need to be at until 6pm, and after that I'll be doing other stuff. My bad peeps!

Why?

Even if Rubio never plays for them, sooner or later, they will get a nice asset for him. They don’t need him to play right now anyhow.

by tominhawaii on Sep 2, 2009 4:19 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The point is: Kahn did what he said he would do, and the media would chew him out no matter what. He couldn’t play his hand better than taking Rubio when he fell. If he had passed up on him with 2 picks in a row, imagine the Minny fans and the national media. Massive canceling of season tickets and further attendance drop, and everyone bashing them for passing up on the BPA. Kings fans are holding out to see how Evans develops before they decide if they are just a little or really pissed about passing up on Rubio. That Rubio wouldn’t come over immediately due to the large buyout was always a possibility. It’s not like Kahn made that situation worse with his actions, he tried some really creative financing (transfer games, an additional buyout for Henk Norel their other pick out of Joventut, local endorsement money, etc.) but in the end Rubio’s camp figured they would be more secure getting the buyout off their back with guaranteed money in Spain instead of taking a big risk. If Rubio would get hurt in his first 2 years in Minny, he would have nothing out of his career.

by Norsktroll on Sep 2, 2009 4:29 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

he should have at least

figured out if rubio wanted to play for minny.
He could have moved the pick(there had to be a market for rubio) on draft night rather then prolonging things and making it public that rubio is in no hurry to go to minny(losing all of his leverage in trade talks). I would not be happy as a wolves fan if my team drafted a guy that high only to wait 2 years for him to maybe come over or for him to just be dealt for lesser value. I also hate the idea of drafting 2 pgs. any other position i would be cool with having 2 guys but pg is just too important as far as being a game manager to split. To a lesser extent it’s like having 2 qb’s in football.

by phillyduck23 on Sep 2, 2009 4:40 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's what Simmons & Co. suggest, without saying with whom

Rumor has it there was an offer from Houston that wasn’t really good, and the Knicks offered Hill or Lee with a pick which doesn’t help Minny very far.

There's Gotta Be More To Life

by Norsktroll on Sep 2, 2009 8:43 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

but what did he really give up getting Rubio? In my mind he gave up very little, and If you have wait 2 years to get an all star talent on a rookie contract and your team has little to no prospect of looking good in those 2 years, and you get to add some more cheap players off of high draft picks in the time frame to possibly have something a few years down the road, then I think it is a bit of a no brainer.

if they can get a few wings or a defensive big man in the 2010-2011 drafts and THEN get Rubio, that’s a lot of talent to build on.

Asking “so how does Al and Love fit, especially defensively?” and getting the “well we drafted this Euro guy who is a defensive specialist; he’ll fit perfectly next to both players and blah blah”.

I felt so bad I didn’t know what to say. I looked the guy up and didn’t see any evidence of what was alleged… it bummed me out.

by AK1984 on Sep 3, 2009 2:10 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree

It doesn’t sound like most any team could bring him over, because of that stupid buyout he agreed to. This is a good situation for Minny— he gets two years of more development on a good team at NO cost to Minny, and then he’ll come over (because he will come over eventually) and play for a rookie deal.

The next 2 years mean nothing except gathering more talent and assets. If you think Rubio is gonna be great, 2 years is nothing at all— and hell, if a gangbusters cracker jack deal comes along, you can take that too. Rubio should only get better.

In general, I worry about Rubio’s body, but he’s got nice length and he’s a natural player. I don’t get why this is such a failure for the Wolves. Who did they miss out on?

If Rubio is gonna be a great player, he will want to be in the NBA.

I was looking at something and said, “Uh oh, looks like an error. Oh never mind, the CLR is upside down.”

My coworker said, “What?” I said, “Never mind, I thought the CLR was wrong until I realized it is just upside down.”

Then she walked over to my desk and looked at the CLR and then said, “The CLR’s not wrong, it’s just upside down see.” Then she pointed at the upside down spot.

i respond to people like that with

“REally? Wow! What a GREAT (observation/idea/perspective)!

It annoys me so I do that to keep my humor. Usually they’re not self aware enough to understand I just poked fun at them. Eventually I learned that I could get what i wanted by letting them think the great idea was always theirs. What’s funny is they’d argue against it and then I’d just guide them around until they came to the same conclusion themselves and it was like they heard it for the first time. They’d get all excited and then repeat my original request back to me as their own.

Took freaking forever. I really wish I could say “just #$#$ do it” sometimes.

Still most people i can think of like that have been good at their jobs, so in the end I don’t really care. Just wish they could get to the point I want faster.

I just got back from Brasil

Although I didn’t go to Rio, overall the country is fairly dangerous. Don’t go out at night alone, expect to be pick-pocketed while in a crowd, and expect a lot of people to beg for money. And that was in Salvador, Bahia… which could be like San Francisco if Rio was NYC.

You’d make it out alive, but there’s a lot of little tricks to avoid the bad stuff.

The thing is what do you want it for? If you travel or move a lot, it’s great. If you want it for multimedia stuff (games, movies, etc…), don’t get it.

I don’t remember the last time I used a DVD. It’s all USB HD or just plain downloading for me now.

Mercury is in surgery now

The vet just called me, saying her wound looked like Pulp Fiction. He didn’t realize how tenacious Mercury is.

After I dropped her off, they put her in a cage, and I guess Mercury went right to work rubbing her tumor wound all over the sides of the cage. Vet said blood was smeared all over.

So now, the hope is that surgery goes okay and doesn’t result in some sort of muscle or nerve damage in her legs.

When I take her home, they better give me more sleepy time pills for Mercury, because she’ll ruin the stitches if not sedated. She’s straight street and doesn’t give a crap because she’s from the hood. I asked them for a refill Monday and they didn’t get back to me. I’ll hop over the counter and get it myself if they don’t gimme ’em.

Tell them to double-stitch Mercury so she gets a tough-looking but flat scar like a pirate. Good luck in kicking the tumor.

don't they have some kind of something

they could rub on Mercury’s stitches that would deter her from chewing/licking/what-have-you? If they don’t, you should invent it, Mort, and then get super rich. And then give me some of the money because it was my idea.

by DrivetheLane on Sep 2, 2009 11:47 AM PDT up reply actions   1 recs

Right now as far as I know

Technology hasn’t advanced past the plastic cone.

We had been using the new donut thing that works well, but Mercury made herself more flexible in her quest to reach the tumor and now the donut is useless. So, we’ll have to use the cone.

The next problem is, Mercury has gotten out of her cone twice before. She cleverly made her neck the exact size where if you fit it too tight it won’t close, and too loose she manages to pull it off once you turn your back or go potty.

Another thing is, she might not want to get at her stitches as much as she did her tumor. She really, really, really, REALLY liked the taste of her tumor. A lot. Getting her under control when I changed her bandages because she wanted to eat the bloody chunky bandages was tough. She’s strong!

by Mortimer on Sep 2, 2009 11:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

She'll rub her stitches on the wall and carpet

That’s what she started doing once she couldn’t get the cone off anymore. Step 1: Rub till the bandages fall off, Step 2: rub wound on carpet till bleeding, Step 3: PROFIT.

It’s why I wanna be able to sedate her. She is not one of those “giving up” dogs.

BUT, I hope she isn’t as interested in ruining her stiches, since I think her tumor lust was because it was meaty and tasted like heaven to a dog. And of course, once a dog gets a taste for tumor blood, they’ll forever be in a craze for more tumor blood. So she’s going to be breaking into cancer wards now and feasting on unsuspecting tumor sufferers.

You know what you could try for real

Make a duct tape cover for her that looks sort of like underwear that wraps around her waist. Make sure to create a space for poop and pee holes. Double side it and stuff so it won’t stick to her and then use the tape to tape the straps together around her waste. She’ll probably chew it off. Just think of it as a sacrificial anode, better her duct tape underwear than her stitches or bandage. .

I kinda did both suggestions

I’d wrap the wound with bandages, gauze, and medical tape, then covered that with duct or wire tape.

That’s to block/absorb the bleeding.

Then over that, I made a makeshift diaper out of old t-shirts, with the neckhole used for the tail, and I taped the sleeves tight around her right leg, where the tumor wound was.

Then I made a belt out of tape to make it stay.

For composite, weight, and durability (including length on the edge) a 12 inch wusthof is the way to go. In the end, the German blades are better if you are serious about your knife work.

henkels are pretty good. I’d put them one step below wusthof but above forschners. They are all made in the same area. The german knives i don’t like are called something like goldshenks—their balance is way off (all in the handle) you don’t see them much anymore. They were marketed as high end, with nice composite steels… more expensive than wusthof…

Well, the blades are sharp.

But I don’t really like the look\feel of them.

ESPN indirectly confirms that the Blazers could use their MLE or BAE to sign Freeland or Claver in the future

Using the “1st round picks that haven’t signed for 3 years” passus in the CBA Article VIII Section 2 that only talks about “room in excess of the rookie scale”.

Yes, there is a specific rule covering these situations. We’ve checked the details with the highest authorities and discovered a few caveats: Rubio’s contract would have to be for a minimum of three years and a maximum of five, and the money that would be made available to him could be only from a team with salary-cap space or the midlevel exception, disabled exception or biannual exception.)

SO, is this the picture you wanted to post? (cute kid, by the way)

Here’s how I did it

1. Went to facebook and right clicked on the picture
2. Used my mouse to select the image location from the Element Properties box. (I’m using Firefox; these things are called other things in other browsers. The tricky thing in Firefox is that it’s the second http: address listed, not the one at the top.)
3 Used Ctrl-C to copy it
4 Went to the Bedge comment box, clicked on the little tree above the text area (right-most icon)
5 Used ctrl-v to paste the address in the pop-up box.
6 Used preview to make sure the image showed up

Try this picture

Right click the picture, go to properties. Click on properties.

Highlight the location. Do CTRL-C.

Go to your post here in Blazers Edge, click the tree icon. Do CTRL-V.

Click OK.

Click preview to see if it worked.

by Mortimer on Sep 2, 2009 5:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

So walk me through how you're doing it

You right click the pic, go down to the bottom and click PROPERTIES, and then…?

Are you highlighting the ENTIRE address of the picture?

by Mortimer on Sep 2, 2009 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ok, that's okay with this pic, since it's only one line...

…now, you copied the address, right? By either doing CTRL-C, or right clicking the address and clicking “copy”?

by Mortimer on Sep 2, 2009 5:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Here, try this:

https://www.beckett.com/images/pgitems/625520801.jpg

Highlight that and hit CTRL-C.

Then go to the tree icon and hit CTRL-V.

Do preview and see if you see the pic. That’s all ya do.

I cant get back to Blazers Edge without clicking ok on

after highliteing the address so I cant click the tree,it wont minimize.

by southern oregon on Sep 2, 2009 5:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, that's fine!

After that window pops up and you pasted the address in, you wanna click ok.

And then the address shows in your comment, with something like IMG bracketed around it, right? That is good.

No matter what I trying post out of my files or photobucket the only address that shows up here is the same pic of Sam,my theory is that he has hacked my computer and i wont get it back till grandpa makes him a guitar.

You can’t cry ‘cause you’re laughing at me

How can you laugh when you know I’m down

Okay S.O., let's try this one last time. For now we'll use a random image I found just so that you can at least know how to post an image.



Just forget about all the other instructions you’ve heard so far. I have a feeling that you’re getting some of the steps mixed up. The first thing you need to do is right click on this image and select properties. Once you have done that you’ll be seeing a window that contains basic information about the image. You need to copy all of the text next to the word address. You do this by highlighting everything you want to copy, and then pressing Ctrl C. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THE TEXT THAT IS NOT NEXT TO THE WORD ADDRESS.


Once you have done that, come back to BEdge and tell me that you’re ready for the next step.

Oh BEdge has been doing that to me to ever since the update. Okay we'll do it the hard way.

You have to type exactly what you see below. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IMAGE URL.. Just type it manually.

^^^ Once you have typed that into your comment box you must press Ctrl V between the quotation marks. Then all you do is press post.
