Called Out Junk - 12-12-2010

So it's time to start breaking the rules.

The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts.. with a goal to foster community and people have really become a family here. So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here.

Star-divide

The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
  1. Imagine fewer images, and the JD will move as one.
  2. No, really, stay off my lawn.
  3. Personal attacks and swearing will NEVER be tolerated
  4. Mentioning of anything is not allowed unless it's to say that it belongs in an 'anything forum'.
  5. Try not and be annoying about everything; my head hurts. 
  6. Don't use the JD to call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads. 
As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, please wear pants or at least make it seem like you are.. 

If you are interested in learning more about BEdge slang, you can consult the wikipage.

hidden word of the daze: ephebophile

One of the most important rules of the JD is to not "use the JD to call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads." Now, I'm not sure if that means we can or cannot call out users in the JD thread (or even a past JD thread) but I'm going to assume not and declare that I'm here to break this rule. I'm calling BEdgas out!

I'm calling out DTL & 323

For keeping their expectations for the game low enough.

I'm calling out ictoagsn who apparently has committed BEdgecide but whose willingness to openly express his beliefs reglardless of their popularity in a respectful manner made me appreciate him when religious debates would popup. 

I'm calling out BRP for going uppity and flying first-class everywhere!

I'm calling out Ash and Roybot for having this conversation. 

I'm calling out faith for making ANOTHER THREAD go bold. Nice one, buddy! ;P

And, especially, I'm calling out YOU for actually reading this JD. 

PS If you have a problem with me calling (or not calling) someone out, then maybe you should EMAIL SOMEONE 'bout it.

To call you and your ugly mug out for not calling me out.

Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."

For future reference, "ugly mug" is a term of endearment.

So, by definition that would make it safe for family viewing.
But far be it from me to confess to this.

and I look forward to that! Lots of BEdgas deserve a call out for being supportive to me, and I never forget. Also, any chance you might make it to a BEdge event someday?

But, for now, enjoy your sleep and good luck on being able to record the game! I’m going to go read and maybe get another nap in before the game. Hard.life.

I think this was it. Obviously it’s from a standpoint of loss.

tinge of blood in my eye
I find a way
a tear, a drop

in rooms I hear a voice
its not there

I scream

numbness leads me home
I walk in
she is my lover
I lay there with her

it begins to rain
time plays back
plays on, plays over
I wish like hell it would rain

And thanks for the call out

I could have spent awhile calling out lots of people, and you would definitely be one of those people. But I decided to just be quick about it since the power-crazed mods are looking for blood anyway, and my head might be on a pike by gametime — warning future revolutionaries.

I'm reading old magazines, particularly TIME. And I'm calling out Charltes Krauthammer.

I bet he wishes he could take back this prognosis. Though to his credit, I have another news magazine that wrote a similar article with a “why worry, America is the lone superpower and there is nothing else to challenge it – peace on earth for all” e.g. mentioning Islamist movements with a half-sentence 3 years later.

“America Rules: Thank God. Who else should call the shots? China? Iran? The Russian Mafia?

A/V Question

i want to augment my TV sound with two speakers I have.
I have a speaker wire-to-RCA cable ready to go, but I was warned by some pushy dude at an AV shop that hooking up speakers to the TV would not only result in low audio output to the speakers (as the signal will not be hot enough) but could short out part of the TV.
Any advice?

by Y5k on Dec 12, 2010 12:51 PM PST reply actions  

The dude at the AV shop is right about the sound levels

You need something that will send power to the speakers. The AV-outs in the back of your TV will only give line-level output, typically to a receiver.

What you need to use speakers is an amp or a receiver. Plug the TV into the receiver, and it’ll push the speakers properly.

You can get an old receiver for pretty cheap used, if you just want to push sound to two speakers.

On the other hand, I have no first-hand experience on whether this would actually do any damage to your TV if you plugged it in.

No chance

Most Knicks fans see a trade as unnecessary – they all just want to sign him. I think it makes sense to get him now and lock him into that deal with the CBA stuff going on. They shouldn’t have to give up much though – Randolph or more likely the pick they get for Randolph, Gallo or Chandler and maybe Douglas should do it. That way Denver has a replacement for Melo, a backup for Lawson when they move Chauncey and a decent future 1st.

On a related note, from the article, a lot of people used very simple passwords.

This is a side effect of having to make accounts on every. single. web site. It’s just easier to use throwaway passwords. The good news is that, for a lot of the folks, it’s intentionally insecure since they don’t use it on major sites.

Melo and K-Mart are expiring anyway, so it’s already pretty much blown up without doing anything at all. I’d say one more exciting playoff run is worth more than the Knicks can offer in the young talent department (some combo or Randolph/Gallo/Landry Fields?).

O story on return of NBA to Seattle

http://blog.oregonlive.com/nba/2010/12/nba_buzz_for_nbas_possible_return_to_seattle_grows_as_league_takes_over_hornets.html

The “Bring the New Orleans Hornets to Seattle” Facebook page went up even before the NBA officially announced that it will purchase the franchise from owner George Shinn.

In one week, the page has drawn more than 8,000 members who want a NBA team back in Seattle. The city lost the SuperSonics in 2008, when owner Clay Bennett moved the team to Oklahoma City and the team became the Thunder.

“Ever since the Hornets news came out, the buzz has just been huge as far a people on the street talking about possibly having a team again, taking about Chris Paul,” Seattle resident Adam Brown, who produced the movie “Sonicsgate” about the Sonics’ departure, said Sunday. “I think that’s ultimately what it takes to get it done in Seattle, just to have the overwhelming buzz.”

True to an extent, but the quality of the meat has a lot to do with it.

Foster Burger is an old-school style of burger, greasy and un-fancy, but is among the best I’ve had due to the amazing quality of the burger itself. Getting local, fresh, organic beef to me is more important to the quality than the other stuff.

As long as it is produced from a good quality farm foie is no crueler than any other farm raised animal.

Sure, there are houses of horrors out there that produce foie, but that’s true for the entire meat industry. Local, quality foie farms have free range organic ducks that are healthy and happy. It is a delicacy after all, that comes with a high price tag. Quality farms nowadays know that one key to producing good meat is to lower stress levels.

Also, the force-feeding itself isn’t nearly as bad most think it is. Ducks don’t choke on the column used to feed them, as they breathe through their tongue, not a larynx like people. As a result they don’t have a gag reflex. Another discrepancy from humans that ducks have is the storing of fat in the liver. Yes, an engorged fatty liver would be poisonous in humans, but in a duck it’s just like a potbelly on a human; a normal place to store fat. It’s normal for them to have fatty livers.

Bills punter Brian Moorman is a heck of an athlete— saw him run on a fake punt for like 50+ yards once and he was moving. I looked it up and it turns out he’s won 10 division II track and field titles- including 3 straight in the 400m hurdles.

wow, if the 49ers win their last two games against the Rams and Cardinals, they’d be 7-9 and 5-1 in the division even if they lose to the Chargers. They’d have the tiebreaker for sure and might very possibly get in. Seahawks still control their own destiny though.

The Cardinals had a crappy record the year they made the superbowl, didn’t they? I think it was 9-7, which admittedly isn’t 7-9.

I think Cloudy might say that the worst thing that could happen to the 49ers would be to make the playoffs at 7-9 and look just good enough to give Singletary another year and Alex Smith another shot at the longterm starting gig at QB.

i guess. just seems lateral to me i guess. although i suppose they’ll save money. i mean, they’ll have Figgins at 3rd, Ryan at SS and Ackley at 2B? there’s not much offense over there…..

Dave Cameron at USSMariner likes it; that’s usually a good sign. Sound like he forsees Ackley starting the year in the minors with Ryan at 2B and Wilson at SS, and then either making Ryan a utility guy (or the SS if Wilson is traded or hurt) once Ackley hopefully forces his way into the major league lineup.

problem with that is service time.

You have to pay him a lot sooner for those two months early in their rookie year. The wise thing is to play it like the Giants did with Posey.

by Cablinasian on Dec 12, 2010 7:34 PM PST up reply actions  

the Mariners don't lack offense, they lack talent.

Ryan’s projected WAR is better than Lopez, Figgins, and Wilson(s) combined for last year.

A run saved is a run scored, and they gave up very little to get him.

it's about run differential.

The team is awful right now. They don’t get the luxury of saying “you’re not the right type of shortstop” after losing 101 games.

Their offense will be a lot better just by regression. An amazing number of guys were all brutal at the same time.

also

Besides Tulowitzki and Hanley, who are the great offensive shortstops? Besides his wrist-plagued 2010, he’s not a bad offensive shortstop by any means. He’s a 2-2.5 WAR player at average, and that’s an incredible steal for less than 2 million. By the market rates of this summer, he would’ve gotten 10 million.

yeah, that’s probably the best answer. A groundball pitcher makes the IF important, a flyball pitcher needs a great OF (although I don’t know if there’s such thing as a great flyball pitcher), a dominant K guy like Felix doesn’t need much D when he’s on, but you can’t have a staff full of Felix’s.

I disagree with your use of therefore.

It could’ve been a massive difference, right? We don’t know. What we do know is that they were able to overcome it. But they would’ve been better with better fielders. If Burrell was a worse hitter, but a spectacular defender, I don’t think they’d be any worse of a team.

by Cablinasian on Dec 12, 2010 7:49 PM PST up reply actions  

but they won the title, which is the ultimate goal of any team anywhere.

anyways, jake’s question was:

Is having a great defense less important if you have a great pitching staff?

as the SF Giants of twenty oh ten showed: if you have a great pitching staff, you can overcome shoddy defense. thus, it is NOT as important to have a great defense if you have a great pitching staff

Super Rodgers Bros.

by cloudydays on Dec 12, 2010 7:52 PM PST up reply actions  

Pretty clear that if you have a staff that allows fewer balls in play, and the Giants had two big strikeout guys in the rotation and a good K bullpen, its less important.

by jksnake99 on Dec 12, 2010 7:54 PM PST up reply actions  

Correlation is not causation.

You’re not showing any logical path that proves it’s less important. You have an outcome, and a beginning; a line can’t be drawn through the middle.

I would accept the argument that defense becomes less important as fewer balls are hit in play. I don’t accept the argument that defense isn’t important because the Giants won with some subpar defenders (and some great performances by Torres and co.)

by Cablinasian on Dec 12, 2010 7:58 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, they never seemed to really pay for having Burrell and Guillen out there. Torres ran everything down in the gaps and the other guys made the routine plays, albeit often looking very unsure doing so. I think the Giants were fortunate not to lose a couple games on crappy D. Ironically, it was Cody Ross who made the most memorable outfield D blunder.

Burrell also seemed to have ridiculously good timing on his HRs in the regular season, that was another element of luck.

then i’mma try one dtm-style with light canned pumpkin blended into the cheese and also try one idol-style (if it works) with light-to-medium canned pumpkin “marbled” into the cheese.

I’ll take pics and relay the experience

She'll be right.

by idoltime on Dec 12, 2010 8:41 PM PST up reply actions  

Awesome

The marbling sounds like a great idea. It could look super cool. I’ve never really considered it. My style is more to beat the hell out of things, were marbling sounds a little delicate for me.

by dan_the_man on Dec 12, 2010 8:44 PM PST up reply actions  

I'd totally think the same (about it being too delicate for me)

But I got really good at marbling the chocolate in those marbled chocolate cheesecakes. Thinking it over, the consistency difference might make a pure marbling harder with pumpkin than it is with chocolate, so I’d probably marble like a 9:1 pumpkin-to-cheese with straight cheese. That could work beautifully.

She'll be right.

I really liked the large amount of vanilla in the cookie, and the fact that the inside had the right amount of gooey to the right amount of crispy around the edge.

I’ve never seen a recipe with melted butter, usually it’s creamed into the sugar. Of course, you have to kind of undercook it too, and they are really best served warm.

I'm happy with a deal based around either

But in either case the + ain’t gonna be much. Both Manu and Horford have been better than Curry and less injury prone so I’d be banking on Curry getting better.

You wanna do a 2 for 2 deal or a 2 for 1?

I recently watched a documentary about some guy who was a fairly unsuccessful worked, until one day he discovered he really was the reincarnation of Jesus. Then he set out and built a feudal home somewhere in the Russian taiga from donations, and lives there now with some of his disciples. What I like about his religious interpretations is that he thinks “trinity” means a man living with 2 women, and unlike some other religious leaders he doesn’t keep all women for himself but thinks that’s something all his followers should do. Allegedly there is no envy and cheating since it helps a greater good. Founding a religion sounds like a safer way to find some gullible people than founding a company selling crappy products in infomercials (and that’s pretty easy).

Not sure if this got discussed, but in Sweden a terrorist has gotten further than the one trying to attack in Portland

He tried to blow himself up on the famous Christmas market and crowded shopping street Drottninggatan but didn’t quite make it there though he was in the middle of a lot of people. He had six pipe bombs strapped to his body, and more explosives and shrapnel in his backpack, but constructed very amateurish so only 1 exploded and he only injured 2 others lightly but killed himself. The attacker has Iraqi heritage, lived in Luton in England and studied at Bedfordshire University. And he seems to have acted alone though he claimed in a letter to have been trained for Jihad. No screening would have ever found him with that bio.

What is better in two players who score about the same amount

41% 3pt shooting on 4 attempts/game who shoots 76% on 5 FTA/game or a guy shooting 87% on 10 FTA/game and 27% on 1 3pt shot/game.

No prizes for guessing who I’m talking about.

by MadBlaze on Dec 12, 2010 11:42 PM PST reply actions  

if we're talking fantasy

3 point percentage doesn’t matter just overall percentage. I’d say a guy getting to the line that much is more valuable than a guy hitting 3s. Of course, your team specifically wouldn’t benefit much from a good FT shooter because of Rondo and Dwight.

Manu and Calderon are similar to Curry and Gordon FG% wise. I guess Hibbert is bad in that regard for a pivot – his blocks, assists and rebounds make up for it though.

He would fit nicely and I might be the only team that could take him on and not punt FT%.

Horford has the huge boost in FG% I’m looking for, but Hibbert has the blocks. Considering I’m not giving up one of my awful shooters (like Danilo) as part of the trade, I’m not gaining ground in FG%

No I would prefer to give up Butler in such a deal

It’s hard to say what Philly really wants to achieve, but the best they could probably hope for is finding anyone who can use Iggy and Brand and give them flexibility and decent players. Denver might give them Melo for Iggy, but they want no Brand, they rather want to get rid of K-Mart in a Melo deal. Stevenson expires, Butler expires, Terry has another year left after this one though I think it’s an option.

It does depending on whether you believe Melo will actually give up that extension willingly

Denver controls whether the Knicks get Melo guaranteed til 2015 or have to sign him with CBA related nonsense in the background.

Denver isn’t leverageless and there is pride involved. They won’t just give Melo up for crap, which is what that offer is.

New York dealing Denver an unprotected 2017 first-rounder ought ...

to seal the deal, as that’d give the Nuggets a long-term asset to have in its back pocket to go along with the projected 2012 first-rounder.

Don’t forget the cash considerations, luxury tax savings this season, or dumping the last two-and-a-half years of Renaldo Balkman’s contract, either.

Plus, if the Nuggets want to slash more of its upcoming luxury tax bill, it could try to dump J.R. Smith — while packaging him with the projected 2012 first-rounder from the Knicks — on a team that’s under the salary cap like the Sacramento Kings.

http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5763168

Oh, and unless the Nuggets foolishly believe that it’s got an outside chance at winning the NBA Championship this season, then it should move Anthony — by any means necessary — and also try to cut costs from this season’s bloated payroll.

PR is important in trades

Fields has been a revelation and is something Denver can sell to its fanbase as a good return. Simple as that.

by MadBlaze on Dec 13, 2010 2:28 AM PST up reply actions  

The thought of Landry Fields being marketable to the casual Denver ...

fan is a joke. From a PR standpoint, the Nuggets trading Carmelo Anthony will incur a backlash—no matter the return for him.

That’s why keeping Chauncey BIllups through this season is necessary if Anthony is dealt to New York.

Now, if the Nuggets looked to go all-out in cutting future costs after trading Anthony, I’d suggest something like trading Kenyon Martin, Al Harrington, and Chris Andersen — while waiving Eddy Curry and Melvin Ely — to the Golden State Warriors for Dan Gadzuric, Vladimir Radmanovic, Brandan Wright, Ekpe Udoh, and Rodney Carney.

Perception is important when it comes to trades. Fields has good stats – even casual fans look at raw stats. It’s not rocket science.

Not saying it will drive ticket sales but it’s better than just getting Chandler for pete’s sake.

by MadBlaze on Dec 13, 2010 12:23 PM PST up reply actions  

Is he really, though?

Under Mike D’Antoni, Anthony Randolph is too poor of both a mid-rangeand long-range jump shooter to play the 3. Plus, to the best of my knowledge, he doesn’t finish strong enough on the pick-and-roll to warrant playing any minutes behind Amar’e Stoudemire at the 4.

That might be true, but he just about broke his ankle last season.

He didn’t look right the last time I saw him play. Only the coaching staff knows for sure, but it seems like they would find him minutes, but maybe not.

Plus, Amare is in front of him. It’s not like they need him at PF.

His defense is weird.

He seems like a great help defender and blocks a bunch of shots. He just isn’t a smart defender, but maybe that would improve with age. I don’t know, he looks like a different player depending on the day. Reminds me of Batum.

I also worry about him reportedly growing an inch. He was already skinny and a bit injury prone. It can’t be good for his body if he’s still getting longer.

You talk to friends with experience, read consumer reports or whatever, look on message boards/Yelp!, etc. By and large, people are willing to pay 10% more for a better computer with a better reputation, but won’t make that same tradeoff for flights (that’s totally anecdotal, btw).

Prices aren't set in stone on airlines

A flight that costs $100 one day will be $200 the next. How do you judge quality on price when the price changes daily?

Online reviews are useless in the service industry unless a service is absolutely awful. Hotels, Airlines, Restaurants. Everyone throws in a useless anecdotal review, and of course, their competitors are reviewing each other negatively too. That’s not getting into what Yelp did to affect their reviews.

Yeah the only way to get better service is to find an airline you trust in coach

Or get Business/First on the majority of airlines (which of course fixes the seat-recline problem too).

As someone once said online, everything in the airline industry changed the day the airlines stopped answering to their customers, and started only answering to their shareholders. Combined with the TSA, it turned flying into a chore very quickly.

That’s the problem with travel reports as you said. A bad experience (weather, plane defect, bottom 10% employee, lost bag, …) ruins the whole trip and can happen to all but the best companies. Similar to about every product review on Amazon. You’ll always find the one guy whose electronic product was DOA and the guy who loved it for 5+ years.

by Norsktroll on Dec 13, 2010 1:10 PM PST up reply actions  

Yep. Anecdotal reviews are actually counterproductive for an overall view.

People with one bad experience have the same influence as people with 50 good experiences.

I’m actually sad to have seen how poorly JetBlue handled customers when they made an error that left the customers in a lurch. We’ll make sure to pay more to another airline for service now… or more accurately, the illusion of service that may be broken the first time that airline leaves us in a lurch.

But all that being said, I’ll make sure to let everyone know for the next 10 years why they shouldn’t travel JetBlue. I’d love a survey service that only surveys people who had flight problems. The reviews will be low, but which airline will have the highest of the low reviews?

flying is cheaper than it’s ever been. That’s what customers want. It was so cheap for a while that the airlines couldn’t afford to do it anymore, which is why they got rid of all the extras or started charging for them.

by atomiccafe on Dec 13, 2010 11:10 AM PST up reply actions  

I guess I generally see offering component parts of services a la carte as better for the customers. That way, the folks who pay for meals/legroom/checked bags subsidize those who just want the bare minimum.

my travel experience (first since 2006) this weekend was surprisingly good.
I didn’t get TSA-groped- in fact, we only saw one person total getting the pat down, and the TSA woman was apologizing the whole time. Phoenix was still apparently mostly using the metal detectors.

Our flight out of Portland was delayed, but we still made our connection in Salt Lake with 5 minutes to spare (whew!) The flight yesterday was actually early. Due to my decision to park in the covered lot, I was literally home 15 minutes after our plane was scheduled to land.

At 5’10", I still have decent leg room, and the people in front of me didn’t recline much. Finally, almost no kids on the planes. At one point, we were supposed to be next to an 8 month old, but there was an open seat behind us and they moved. That kid turned out to be shockingly well behaved anyway.

All in all, not bad.

We’re actually slightly worse than the mean for both, but slightly above the median.

Based on the uneven gaps

I had assumed this was a chart based on means, rather than ranks/median. Am I incorrect?

And if it is based on means, we would be slightly above mean in both, unless the bold lines aren’t the mean, which would make it a bad chart.

We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.

by dan_the_man on Dec 13, 2010 1:50 PM PST up reply actions  

hmm, yeah it can’t be the median because there are 16 teams in the “bad D” half and 14 in the “good O” half so it must be the mean, which would make our position slightly out of date or based on different data than I was looking at (sometimes there are minor discrepancies due to slightly different formulas for estimating number of possessions) or just wrong (based on the mean we should be just barely into the Quadrant of Suck according to basketball-reference).

The NBA has a big issue with potential relocations.

The NFL has a couple of possibilities — such as maybe Minnesota or Jacksonville to Los Angeles or San Antonio — but that’d be good for the league. Well, at least getting a team back in L.A. would be a boon. Oh, and if the Vikings do eventually construct a new stadium in Minnesota, then I could see the San Diego Chargers moving back up to L.A. where it started in 1960.

As TBJ said, they haev had the easiest part of their sched and they are 5-16. This was supposed to be a year they leap forward and they’ve regressed,

I’m happy to report that I voted 20 on this week’s confidence poll, up from 10 the previous 2 weeks.

If I were to vote this week, I'd go with 30.

i liked JT’s own stuff better than the group though.

it’s kinda funny how i used to make fun of people for listening to this stuff when i was in school. now, i have a ton of these songs in my collection.

If you want to listen to 4 or 5 guys singing

There are dozens of excellent a capella groups. Try Rockapella for starters.

Looks like he’s a 3 mil expiring contract. I guess I’m down with getting him since I’m down with expiring contracts in general, but we make that move we’re still the 7 seed at best. Just kind of pointless.

yeah, he struggles. I remember early in his career- maybe his first year— he played amazing D for them against Utah in the playoffs (I think that was the year they were without both Yao and TMac or at least without one of them with the other hobbled)— just a series of amazing defensive plays. After that I’ve had trouble reconciling the mediocre defender he’s been throughout his career with what I saw in that series.
