PrintSo making your own JD is easier than ever!
1. Put the secret message into the Story Headline space. Be sure to watch the character limit (35chrs).
2. Make a JD title (including today's date) and leave it at the top of your new fan post page for the switch. The switch is how you replace your secret message with your JD title.
3. Put something short and provocative (preferably starting with the word 'So' before the jump).
4. Copy and print the standard JD welcome message:
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts. Its purpose was simple from its infancy; a place where people could come and chat about all of the "whatevers" that didn't fit with the rest of the site and even be loose in terms of byplay and humor. The goal was to foster community...to let people who wanted to get to know each other outside of what they could discern from the strictly basketball posts. We've had happy JD's, sad ones, drawers that looked like a sharing circle, drawers that resembled open mic night at the comedy club... and people have really become a family here.
So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
- Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- Remember everything you write is visible publicly
- Don't use the JD call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
- Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.
5. Make a pointless and, hopefully, mostly indecipherable poll. (see below)
6. Say something concluding that pretends to wrap-up whatever you were saying and gets people into junking:
Enjoy your day, JD, and junk away!
7. After you first publish the JD, you'll find that the secret message is the title of the JD. (Here's the switch.) Simply edit the fanpost and replace the 'JD Title' with the 'Secret Message'. You find that the secret message remains in the url of the fanpost while the title on the side bar is your 'JD title.

“Huckleberries hold a place in archaic English slang. The tiny size of the berries led to their frequent use as a way of referring to something small, often in an affectionate way. The phrase “a huckleberry over my persimmon” was used to mean “a bit beyond my abilities”. “I’m your huckleberry” is a way of saying that one is just the right person for a given job."

this is how i feel about tlor movies:
I find both of the Jackson films to be travesties as adaptations… faithful only on a basic level of plot… Cut and compress as necessary, yes, but don’t change or add new material without very good reason… In the moments in which the films succeed, they do so by staying close to what Tolkien so carefully wrote; where they fail, it tends to be where they diverge from him, most seriously in the area of characterization. Most of the characters in the films are mere shadows of those in the book, weak and diminished (notably Frodo) or insulting caricatures (Pippin, Merry, and Gimli)… [T]he filmmakers sacrifice the richness of Tolkien’s story and characters, not to mention common sense, for violence, cheap humor, and cheaper thrills… [S]o many of its reviewers have praised it as faithful to the book, or even superior to it, all of which adds insult to injury and is demonstrably wrong.

who wrote that?
i don’t entirely disagree with him. although i don’t think judging a movie next to a book is ever a good idea. beyond, that is, “the book was better than the movie” or “the movie was better than the book”.

sounds like a real hoot.
At the end of every semester but one since 1966, WCFM has hosted an all-night, eight-hour trivia contest. Teams of students, alumni, professors, friends, and others compete to answer questions on a variety of subjects, while simultaneously identifying songs and performing designated tasks. The winning team’s only prize is the obligation to create and host the following semester’s contest

i think in part it’s a fair assessment on the basis of cut and compress as necessary, but don’t add new content to diminish the themes of the original or whole—we’re talking a movie that was awarded an oscar.
by EvilKaramazov on Sep 7, 2010 10:11 AM PDT up reply actions
it was awarded an oscar because it was a great cinematic achievement. one of the great cinematic achievements of all time, in my opinion.
i don’t think the little bit of material he added was all that important in a way that hugely altered the story or theme in an overall manner.

And Avatar nearly won
(or at least was the co-favorite to win along with The Hurt Locker). The Oscars are about as good at measuring quality film as the Emmys are at measuring television or the Grammys are at measuring music…. which is to say not very good at all.
i think the Emmy’s have been doing a pretty good job. especially this year. tough to argue with the top awards.

That's about right.
I thought the LOTR movies were way way overrated, though I did like the extended versions better than the theatrical ones (yes, they’re even longer, but the pacing just felt way off in the theatrical versions). I just don’t understand why Jackson decided to make everything so cartoon-y.

The claustrophobia and menace of the apartment, the depiction of growing paranoia, her odd inability to function in society, the obliqueness of her interior thoughts… that was all really compelling to me.
that makes sense. i did like some of the camera work. i think my problem was that i didn’t really feel any sense of dread. i felt like her “craziness” wasn’t developed to the point that it really made me feel anything about why she was crazy or about her being crazy at all. or, at least, not enough to creep me out.

Oh, I wasn't expecting to be scared
so maybe that’s part of why I liked it more. I just liked it more as a character study about a enigmatic crazy woman.
i was expecting a thriller. but it appears to have wanted to be a horror movie. in any case, it seemed like it wanted to creep out the audience at least a little bit. and there were horror type musical cues and what not.
as a character study, i didn’t think it was that interesting either. i felt like i didn’t know enough about the woman.

Stuff like this is why the Vols are 13.5 point home dogs to the Ducks
From ESPN Rumors:
Tennessee’s top two receivers could be out in what will be a major test for the underdog Vols. Senior wide receiver Gerald Jones is definitely out with a broken hand, and fellow senior Denarius Moore could be on the sideline with a walking boot because of a tender ankle.
That means freshmen Justin Hunter and Da’Rick Rogers will be thrust onto the field Saturday against No. 11 Oregon. Neither was much of a factor against UT Martin Saturday — Rogers had one 9-yard reception — but both were highly-touted, four-star receivers coming out of high school.
Sophomore Zach Rogers will get the nod to replace Jones in the starting lineup, although Hunter and Da’Rick Rogers are right behind him. One of them may actually be starting next to him if Moore continues to wear the boot the rest of the week.

A Christian minister said Tuesday that he will go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Quran this weekend to protest the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks despite a warning from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan that doing so would endanger American troops.
Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center said he understands Gen. David Petraeus’ concerns, but plans to go forward with the burning this Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the attacks.
He left the door open to change his mind, however, saying that he is still praying about his decision.

For me, I personally don’t care how the Christians, Jews, and Muslims go about hating on one another. It’s not my business, since I don’t have a horse in that race — which goes around and around in circles, with no winner and only losers — and that’s fine by me.

I’m seeing an ad for Amway makeup that they use at the Miss America pageant. How could this possibly have happened to me?
I’ll bet it was Roybot’s bedazzled Blazer compact. More proof that nothing good ever comes of bedazzling.
maybe you’ll get the ad yourself. I’m certain you will want to purchase it. Then you can start an Amway business and market to all of us.
Never heard of Amway?
What kind of NBA fan are you? The founder of Amway (Rich DeVos) owns the Orlando Magic. It’s a direct marketing/pyramid/sect for beauty and home products. Fans talk about Paul Allen being a jerk, but I’m sure they’d hate, hate, hate DeVos, a scary right-wing conservative Christian.
You bring up an interesting point, AK.
I wonder if there are people being forced into MLM scams whether through blackmail, intimidation, or brainwashing.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
The likelihood of seeing blackmail at the bottom level is next to nil, while I find that the ...
term “brainwashing” is too extreme in this situation. Now, there’s always a heavy push from one person to recruit others in what could sometimes be an intimidating fashion; however, my rebuttal would be that it’s a mixture of naturally weak-willed, financially desperate, or just plain naive people who get stuck at the bottom of the multi-level marketing pyramid. So no, I don’t pity them for the most part.
It seems unlikely in general that someone would 'unwillingly' sign up for something like this.
And I think several genuine cults had some type of multi-level marketing pyramid scheme built in. If they didn’t, they certainly could be. The term ‘brainwashing’ could be used there. While it is logically inconsistent to say that all MLMs are cults, it’s not far of a reach to suggest that any cult could incorporate an MLM scheme and brainwash new inductees into the bottom rungs. You could argue that cults do this whether or not they have a side business interest to exploit their followers with.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
On second thought, there are some elements of brainwashing when it comes to ...
some multi-level marketing companies. Yet, as far as I’m concerned, people who are ignorant toward the truth about these organizations — such as Amway — have done a poor job of educating themselves with information. Thus, if they end up being some weak-minded pushover who gets screwed over financially by one of these high-end pyramid schemes, then so be it; that’s their problem and not mine.
That's what Amway has been accused of. They scare me more than Mary Kay, for sure.
I grew up near the Amway HQ and heard stories about them all my life. Here’s some stuff from Wiki. I’m reading it now and haven’t followed the citations yet.
Some Amway distributor groups have been accused of using cult-like tactics to attract new distributors and keep them involved and committed. Allegations include resemblance to a Big Brother organization with paranoid attitude to insiders critical of the organization, seminars and rallies resembling religious revival meetings and enormous involvement of distributors despite minimal incomes. An examination of the 1979–1980 tax records in the state of Wisconsin showed that the Direct Distributors, comprising less than 1% of all distributors, reported a net loss of $918 on average.
Sociologist David G. Bromley calls Amway a quasi-religious corporation having sectarian characteristics. Bromley and Shupe view Amway as preaching the Gospel of Prosperity. Economists Bhattacharya and Mehta propose an alternative economic explanation to negative claims, concluding that distributors’ continued involvement despite minimal economic return results from social satisfaction compensating for less economic satisfaction. Amway disputes stigma charges, and states that meetings with enthusiasm, excitement and energy are a proven way to motivate salespeople.

Troubled by lagging attendance? Why not create a few giant murals of fans in their seats, and drape them throughout the stadium (Jacksonville Jaguars, please take note)? Just like this, only bigger! The Italian soccer team Triestina has done just that, covering large sections of empty seats with banners depicting crowd scenes. I hope they included some fights.
The Serie B team realized early that they would never come close to filling their 32,500-seat stadium, so decided to shut down the entire bottom portion of the stands for the entire season. But while most teams would have just covered those sections with a tarp or left the empty seats on display, printed up several large banners depicting crowd scenes. They unveiled their new “sellout” crowd on Sunday, as 3,810 living fans joined about 29,000 painted ones to watch a 1-0 win over Pescara. And the crowd goes wild! If one of the banners comes loose and blows onto the field, is that considered a riot?

Luis Scola looks well groomed compared to some of his teammates...
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
Oberto's really let himself go now that he's not in the NBA
And I thought the exact same thing when i turned this game on. Spain and Argentina should join forces for an all-homeless team
z
I want Fabricio Oberto on Portland as its third-string center.
It’d be easy to move Jeff Pendergraph, too, who’s got a minimum-level contract.
Yeah, I'd offer Jeff Pendergraph to some rebuilding team like the Minnesota T'wolves for a ...
2014 second-round draft pick (via New Orleans). To me, that’d totally be fair value. Besides, with all due respect to Pendergraph, he’s an undersized center who doesn’t give this team the proper depth it needs at that spot.
Oden, Camby, Pryz, Oberto? that makes 4… I know you advocated an extra center last year, and were right in retrospect, but 4 centers seams like overkill

To be fair, Jeff Pendergraph is just an undersized center who takes up roster space ...
without providing sound defense — as he hacks often to compensate for being shorter than most opposing centers — that’s needed in spot minutes due to guys on this roster being injury concerns (e.g., Joel Przybilla).
If Camby is a 5/4, Pendy is a 4/5… I think it’s unfair to Pendy to call him a center when his game is much better suited to that of a banging 4
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
His role on this team is as a 5
even though he’s better suited as a 4. Part of the reason I think AK wants to upgrade (not to put words in his mouth)
z
It's a little unfair to say Jeff has an NBA skillset
I love the guy, but he didn’t even look good in SL.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Dante, on the other hand....
I’m hoping he gets some minutes this year, he looked like he’s improved a lot
z
If everything goes right for Dante
He could be a decent 8th man or so. He really does seem to be improving. If he can pick up any more lateral quickness and extend his jumper, he’ll be really useful.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I'd say more of a 9th/10th man with Dante Cunningham, although ...
Udonis Haslem has made a fine name for himself by having a similar skill set.
If Dante can extend his range to become a modest 3pt threat
And become a somewhat better defender (I actually think he’s coming along well, here), he’ll earn some minutes. Whether that be as an 8th man or 9/10 is probably not all that worthy of debate. Although possibly a duel.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
hahaha
he sure can scream in a huddle though!
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
oh sure, bring skill into this whole thing...
what do you think this is?
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
poor Jeff... I love the guy, I think he's great for team chemistry...
but in reality, I never want to see a season where he or his “3rd string center” replacement have to play heavy minutes again…
.
.
oh, and Jeff rebounds and dunks well, Oberto only does one of those
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
That's true
Jeff had a decent rebound rate. Better than LMA’s career, or Joel’s rookie year.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
He did most of his board crashing on the defensive glass, ...
though, which’d see diminishing returns if he played next to players other than LaMarcus Aldridge, Juwan Howard, and Dante Cunningham.

Or is it often awarded to players on teams that get eliminated in the quarter/semi-finals?

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That's Dwight Howard level
And way above LaMarcus level
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
In his last ACB regular season (2006-2007) Scola had 22,1 in efficiency and you could see he was a very good player.
Then the next season Marc Gasol got 27,8 and Rudy 25,1 (Rudy made those with less playing time than Marc. Time adjusted Rudy had better stats).
Scola was born in 1980. Rudy and Marc in 1985.
Marc seems to be talking care of his career. He has lost a lot of weigth and play at a controled pace, like someone who doesn´t want to get injured. Four years ago Sofo couldn´t move Marc by pushing on him and he could in this tournament. So I think Marc won´t be willing to reach his full potential until he thinks he is playing for a NBA contender team and has got a good NBA contract.
Then it seems Rudy wasn´t caring about his future as much as Gasol. He played without fear, until he went trough surgery (just imagine what was written in the papers he had to sign about the risks of that surgery. He even asked for more medical advices). As if it were not enough, he was surrounded by more injured players. Time to decide what you want to do with your future. It´s a pity.

By the end of the 12 weeks, I’d have accumulated 4,800 rushing yards. Clearly enough to win the Heisman, right? What? You mean I have to actually accumulate the yardage within the framework of the rules established by the NCAA?

you must be talking about Wawrinka. he was being dumb in the match he played before this one too.
i don’t like him.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
He tried to take a bathroom break and call a trainer in the same changeoer
After Querrey complained he ended up taking his bathroom break at 3-3, which wasn’t a changeoer. And he called a trainer twice for the thigh injury that didn’t seem to bother him in the slightest for the entire match
z
i think the injury stuff is being taken advantage of. it happened in his match with Murray too. he went back to see the trainer twice, though both were during changeovers. plus, Wawrinka never really looked that injured. He was moving fine. so either the trainers did a great job, or he was sandbagging.

"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
The concept of challenging line calls is dumb.
The computer knows it’s in or out immediately, the slow “ball approaching the line” graphic is only for dramatic effect. Making a call correction does not cause a major delay. If the judges’ call is wrong according to the computer, then fix it, there’s no need for a challenge system.
I think it's mental more than physical
By giving the players control they pretty much forfeit the right to complain about line calls (foot-faults being the only exception)

also, anything that delays the inevitablility of our Robot Overlords is a good thing
I'm a grown man stuck inside the mind of a 3 year old
Honestly, I'm not worried about that.
There was no mental aspect about challenging calls for 50 years before this. There’s no need to add it now. Just get the call correct and keep going.
I'm glad tirades at umpires/linesmen aren't as much a part of the game as they were 5 years ago
Those guys don’t get paid enough to be publicly humiliated. And it’s not as entertaining as just watching players play tennis

Yep, I certainly don't miss player tirades
I wish they’d give stiffer penalties for browbeating judges.
But I’m all for reducing the importance of line judges at the majors.

I was helping my grandmama move into her house this weekend.
Tripped on something — I dunno what since there was stuff laying everywhere — hit my head on the kitchen counter, and was knocked out. So now I’ve got a sprained right wrist, bruised left knee, cut on my right shoulder, a bump on the back of my head, and another cut between my eyes.

I fail to see the plot hole, since nobody knew that would happen
It was supposed to make the army invincible that carries it in front of it, which seems like an appropriately scary prospect for an intelligence agency to go after it.

I think I agree with Norsk
What was the plot hole? No one knew everyone would die, except Indy figured it out at the exact right moment, or the Nazis never woulda’ wanted to open it at all.

True, but he closes his eyes on a whim that the Nazis are not acting in accordance with the spirit of the ark
Or at least said the wrong spell or the ark hates phony French guys or whatever.
After all, it did work in the myths of lore for the Israelites according to the book and illustration the professor shows in the beginning when they are discussing its powers.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
But Indy is there
Because he was trying to get it back, and then he got himself captured because he wanted to see it opened as well and couldn’t bear to blow it up like he threatened.
You could say Indy is too passive in the climactic scene, because he doesn’t do anything while the ark kills everyone, but it’s not a plot hole.
And like Norsk says, even Belloq (also an Ark expert) didn’t know it would kill everyone before it.
The Nazis would have died without Indy there, but with no Indy there, no one would have ever known what happened. He and Marian are the surviving “witnesses”. Plus, there’d be no one to bring the Ark back to its rightful home in America.

In Summer 2005, Nate arrived. In Summer 2006, everyone was buzzing about Brandon. After that, KP kept everyone entertained all Summer.
I dunno. Seems like a bunch of average players at this point. What can be gained from that for LMA? I think training with Bayno is prolly just as good.

To have more big game experience
To get out of his comfort zone a lil’ bit, hopefully break up the rut he has found himself in (it’s not a HORRIBLE rut, but being the same player for 3 years as a young big is a rut).
New voices, new experiences… it’d kinda be like being an allstar for him, and the chance to be with other players and have fun might help him for the gooder.

A three-judge panel of the Third Circuit said (PDF) that tracking cell phones “does not require the traditional probable cause determination” normally required by the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits government agencies from conducting “unreasonable” searches.

Who needs rights?
There’s TERRORISTS afoot! What’s that you say? Almost all of this surveillance is actually used for the war on drugs? Almost no terrorists actually live in America? My whole worldview is shattered…

there was more to that comment
Don’t know why it didn’t post. I give up. Point being, most of the Patriot Act-type surveillance is used to fight the war on drugs, not the war on terror, because there are pretty much 0 domestic terrorists

yeah
that’s why people on the left are against it, people like timmy want to make special brownies without a paranoid fear that big brother is going to come take all their thai sticks…

Have you seen "Red Road?"
It’s a about a cctv operator. Besides being a really well-constructed psychological thriller, it’s interesting in that it treats big brother-style, 24-hour ubiquitous surveillance not as a dystopian tragedy but almost as a mundanity, something that just happens to be a fact of life in modern Scotland (where the film takes place)

It may be worth checking for some fresh thermal paste to reattach the fan, if you can.
Sometimes a laptop’s CPU will have dried-up thermal paste, preventing good heat transfer to the heat sink.

¡Necesito ayuda con mi tarea de español! ¿Has leído Las medias rojas por Emilia Pardo Bazán? ¿Qué significan las siguientes frases?
¿Ahora me gastas medias, como la hirmán del abade?
y
¡Cluecas andan las gallinas que no ponen!
aghh i wrote your answer and then closed the window by mistake
before posting.
DISCLAIMER. i have not read the book, nor am i qualified to make the following interpretations.
La primera frase se burla de una mujer por usar medias, como una señora rica tal y como sería la hermana de un alto cargo religioso.
La segunda frase está usando una contradicción entre una gallina que está clueca: en periodo de empollar o empollando, y el hecho de que no ponga huevos. Probablemente se usa para acusarla de armar mucho alboroto/causar problemas sin ser productiva/útil. Algo por el estilo.
Si quieres lo intento explicar en inglés.

I've been an advocate for gypsy control for years now
It is insane that no one considered what future generations would have to endure when they used gypsies for warfare. The problem got out of control.
When I was in Spain, I learned to never go and walk in a field where no one else was walking, because the locals would know where a gypsy was likely hidden.
