Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Junk Drawer for Friday, October 16th, 2009 - The Infectious Agent Edition

So it seems disease has ravaged our JD, and there are only a few of us still alive. Seems like a great premise for a story that I don't have time to write. Between taking care of my sick wife, filling in for my sick boss, and hearing my mother complain about starting to getting sick, I'm just preoccupied. Yet here I am trying to bring together the survivors with some new junk.

Star-divide

So let's talk sickness.. do you get sick every flu season? Do you never get sick? What are your secrets to not getting sick? Got some medial, herbal, home remedy to avoid or to alleviate feeling sick? Got a favorite movie or book about massive infections?

Did you ever have one of those contagion parties when you were a kid and your parents found a kid with chicken pox to spit into your mouth? I remember my little sister (about 5 at the time) gave chicken pox to me (11 at the time) and our older brother (17) despite not spitting in our mouths and me hiding in my room with the encyclopedia (World Book, 1984 ed. - Letter 'S') for a day trying to avoid getting sick. But when we were sick, my brother and I would stay up all night playing cards and the game where we see who can drink more of what. I could drink more cough syrup and he could drink more mickey's malt liquor. [Update: rereading this section made me think I forgot what I was doing and didn't finish my thought so I did.]  

And try to be nice out there. No need to say things that can hurt others when we will all probably be dead when the feds decide they need to start bombing cities to prevent the spread of this infection. I'm just saying.. do you really want you last words to be about 'YOUR FACE'?

I'd like to think I'm a Mother Abigail follower

But I have a bad feeling that I would die in that explosion in Vegas.. I’d like to think that is maybe because I was part of the crew that went out there from Abigail’s.. but yea.. not sure about that.

my favorite mass epidemic movie

is probably Shaun of the Dead.

I hardly ever get sick. The last time I was really really sick it was stomach flu and I was in 8th grade. I usually get a cold or two every year, but that’s it. I don’t have a key to not getting sick, but I do believe a lot of it is psychological. If you don’t think you’re gonna get sick, or don’t worry about it, that can go a long way.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 16, 2009 8:37 AM PDT reply actions  

That's gotta be the best mass epidemic movie

of all time……a classic.

28 Days Later is pretty good also.

We had a great dinner conversation last night…..about whether it would be better to survive or die in a particularly virulent pandemic. It really PO’s my wife when we talk about stuff like that at dinner, but my daughter and I had a GREAT time. Almost as much fun as talking about projectile vomiting during dinner.

our diner conversation growing up

usually involved some sort of scatological talk as well.

I think it depends on how vast the pandemic would be and what type. I wouldn’t want to survive a nuclear attack. But if it was some sort of disease thing that wiped out a huge portion of the population, I think it’d be interesting to survive and see what would happen.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 16, 2009 8:55 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think it would depend a lot upon how much we loss of ‘civilization’ in that process. It’s quite hard to imagine translating my post-modern skill set into a functional life in that world.

I’d still want to survive, even if my role was just to teach kids how to do math so that the world never forget about how to derive a proof or solve the eigenvector-eigenvalue problem.

I just don't want to be one of the people responsible for

dealing with the bodies of the 80% of the population that died in our hypothetical scenario dinner conversation.

Then again, we live in a very rural setting and would have access to some things that would make survival easier…..guns for hunting, a horse for transportation, water balloons to toss at L@ker fans, etc.

Lucifer's Hammer is also a good "end of the world" novel

Comet strikes Earth (sound familiar? but way better and way earlier than Armageddon) and most of the book is about what came after.

Bow's a hurtin' unit

I’ve been down for over a week now. I went to class yesterday morning, but was seriously over-heating and sweating profusely so I bagged it and came home. Called the Dr cuz enough was enough. Doc sent me for X-rays and diagnosed pneumonia in both lungs.
I can hardly stay awake. I just want to sleep. At least I’m on some macrobiotic and an inhaler and I do feel a tad better. I’m worried the prof is going to ask me to drop my classes because I have gotten so far behind.

Listening to the past few pre-season games hasn’t helped either.

No, but thanks for volunteering

A cold damp rag on the forehead and soothing coos from annthefan is jsut what the Dr ordered….

actually, I’m stacked up with goodies and my family and friends are aware and have been checking in. I had pneumonia twice when I was young (at 3 and 7) and was hospitalized both times. The Dr suggested I may be forever susceptible. Worse their was a story on Yahoo about a guy who died of swine flu, but it went undiagnosed because it destroyed his lungs and didn’t have the tell-tale signs of the h1n1. I don’t feel nauseasy flu-like, it’s more a deep deep bronchial thing.

I appreciate all the well-wishing!

Yeah, I spent a lot of my childhood in the hospital with

pneumonia. My first memory is of being in the hospital in quarantine in a glassed-in room. The windows were covered in newspapers with spy holes punched in them because I cried for my parents, who weren’t allowed in the room, when I saw them. I remember eyes looking at me through the holes.

I can remember the incredibly long needles that went through my armpits and sucked all the lung butter out… I’ve been needle-phobic ever since …

then a RN gave me a puppet to play with… I put it on the desk lamp over my bed and it caught fire and smoked up the room… it didn’t smell good and caused quite a ruckus

Trailer Park Boys....

man oh man….that’s some funny stuff. My brother-in-law turned me on to them……it’s just some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever seen. We have all 7 seasons plus the Xmas special on DVD, as well as the movie.

TPB is proof that Canadians have a GREAT sense of humor.

And the really scary thing is I have another brother-in-law that could pass for the American version of Ricky. At times we even call him Ricky. Scary thing 2……on one of the episodes (Mr. Lahey is living in a camp trailer), there is a cheesy painting on the wall. My mother-in-law has the very same painting in her basement. Sometime I feel like I live in a TPB world.

Steve Ballmer should buy the Portland Trail Blazers from Paul Allen ...

and relocate the team to Seattle. I’d be more than happy with that scenario.

(Actually, I’d feel really bad about that. I’m a Pacific Northwesterner at heart — albeit one from Washington instead of Oregon — and know all Portland has is the Trail Blazers when it comes to professional sports.)

Regarding sickness, my immune system is A-OK despite me treating this 24-year-old body of mine like crap.

Having a big yellow smiley face on the side of the RG would be AWESOME. Maybe one at mid court too.

Walmart built China, we’d pretty much DOMINATE the all star game due to Chinese votes, since Yao is out. Maybe we could fire Mo Lucas and get Yao to coach Oden.

Yes. Some countries in Europe are really stacking it up, even different versions.

There is already some debate about it because the virus is still “live” in the medication, so some swelling, redness, fever will be present in > 1 out of 100 people. Not to speak of people who are against inoculation per se. I don’t want to take anything away from anyone, but since I travel quite a lot and also in areas with not so great infrastructure it might be worth it. I had no problems with regular flu shots in the past, and generally I’m inoculated against pretty much anything but rabies that you can get inoculated against. Measles, tetanus, typhus, polio, diphtheria, yellow fever, hepatitis, meningitis, ticks, you name it.

Worst bozo I have seen in a long time. Cheap beer bottle, recently broken nose, black eye, girlfriend with a bandaid on her chin and totally looking like he regularly beats her if she doesn’t cook well and/or brings in enough cash. He was sizing me up but while having about the same weight was quite a bit smaller, and I tried to figure out how I could duck the flying or swung bottle and then hit him with the elbow in one move if he would attack and not sure if she would join a fight or run away.

From the Trail Blazers

Press release:

Today, we are pleased to announce that the Portland TrailBlazers are under new ownership. Larry Miller[new president yet to be named] and Kevin Pritchard are pleased to announce they now submit call the Honorable Princess Sophia Brugato “owner” . Sophia’s first order of business upon completion of the sale was a complete dismantle of Vulcan Corp., former owner Paul Allen’s financial group.

From Former owner Paul Allen:

I was approached this summer by Sophia, who expressed concern for the team in the event that I am no longer able to enact my ownership duties. She immediatly dazzled me with her shiny crown and promised she would never accuse me of being sexist. As I have been with this organization for many years and was close to giving it all up anyway to focus on my football team, I felt this would be an oppurtunity for my self, Sophia, Blazer fans and the city to seemlessly move under new ownership.

Let me be clear, Sophia wont move the team to a tumbleweed ridden wasteland. She is dedicated to continuing the vision I have build this team upon. I would like to thank the fans, the media, myself and the team for making my tenor as the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers something special. I will always be a part of this wonderfully unique sports community.

From the office of The Princess:

Two feets they come a creepin’
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are layin’ naked
Creeper think he got nothin’ to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
And as a man’s reaching for his trousers
Shoots him full of .38 holes

(Chorus)
Mr.Saturday night special
Got a barrel that’s blue and cold
Ain’t no good for nothin’
But put a man six feet in a hole

Big Jim’s been drinkin’ whiskey
And playing poker on a losin’ night
And pretty soon, Big Jim starts a thinkin’
Somebody been cheatin’ and lyin’
So Big Jim commences to fightin’
I wouldn’t tell you no lie
And Big Jim done pull his pistol
Shot his friend right between the eyes

actually while your partially correct

its not the same people.. its different people. The demo that gets the swine flu the most is actually people in our general age… Southern Oregon excepted. 19-40 is the most common. Also it goes after the respiratory first.. Yes its no worse than a regular flu, its just happens to attack an area that is quite dangerous if you arent ready for it, and it goes after people who generally believe they wont get sick. Regular flu attacks the elderly and children more than Swine Flu

by GreatOden'sRaven on Oct 16, 2009 11:25 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yup, it's hitting younger people harder than older people
The information analyzed by CDC supports the conclusion that 2009 H1N1 flu has caused greater disease burden in people younger than 25 years of age than older people. At this time, there are relatively fewer cases and deaths reported in people 65 years and older, which is unusual when compared with seasonal flu.

I believe the thinking is that the 1957 flu epidemic gave some people immunity to the current flu.

just that while its no more dangerous than the regular flu, people who normally feel invincible are its main targets.. and it can easily be confused with bronchitis and pneumonia.. so if you feel it in your chest it could be any of the three.. and same precautions as the regular flu

Now I seldom get sick. Why, you don’t ask? Nothing you haven’t already heard:

  • Wash your hands frequently.
  • Don’t touch your hands to your eyes.
  • Get plenty of rest.
  • Dress warmly enough not to get chilled.
  • If a co-worker comes to work sick, lock him in a closet for the rest of the week.

For example, I once spent four hours in an open boat and got wet and chilled. That night, I came down with a cold. I was no doubt already infected when I got the chill and might have become sick regardless, but perhaps without the chill my body would have fought the infection to the point that I wouldn’t have developed the usual cold symptoms, or I might just have felt a little tired or sniffly instead of flat on my back in misery for a few days.

And what is that chill those old wives talked about? Was it a shiver or, as in my example, a lower body temperature over several hours? That would make a difference, wouldn’t it?

People are different, too. Maybe getting chilled has a greater impact on my health than it does on someone else.

Doctors frequently scoff at patients’ observations, but I’ve seen doctors be wrong too many times to think they know everything. For instance, doctors cannot understand or explain how glucosamine can help relieve joint pain in some people, yet it works often enough that they are forced to admit there’s more to it than they thought.

Sure, the best way not to get sick is never to get exposed to an infectious agent, but short of living in isolation, exposure is inevitable. A strong immune system is your best chance to fight infection. I believe getting chilled makes you less resistant to disease and can put you over the tipping point.

I don't remember ever having the flu, and I get a cold only every 2 or 3 years

Probably from the same old boring reasons — eating well, exercising, handwashing. I also like saunas and hot soaks in the winter, so maybe I temporarily induce a “fever” that gets rid of the cooties.

When I was a kid though, I got a bad case of chicken pox from some brat at the doctor’s office, so I worry about getting shingles at some point. It sounds horrible. I’ll get the vaccination for that, for sure, when I get old enough.

On a PC/iMac desktop I have no use for it at the moment, but the journey is clearly going in that direction. Likely the next disruptive innovation for disks (see Clayton Christensen, who uses that example in his book) – except that it’s missing the “cheaper” factor at the moment.

Here’s the link to the article at ESPN.com.

Supposedly they’re just making official the way they’ve been calling it since the 1960s. There shouldn’t be any noticeable difference in the way it’s called after the rule change, except we may see the return of the crab dribble.

Gotta disagree

The rule was change to reflect how it was being called and how it had been called for years and years. It’s not line LeBron is hte first star to regularly travel and not get called for it. For some reason, the name “Jordan” springs to mind.

How about telling the refs to reflect the rulebook instead of telling the rulebook to reflect the refs?

Sorry, cranky on this topic. Refs enforce the rules.

If Jordan had complained that he should be allowed to take two steps, and the rulebook changed, we’d be talking about Jordan right now. But they did it right after Lebron complained. So it’s fair game.

I can. More shots for Roy.

To me there is no doubt that Miller is the more capable player and will be on the floor when it matters. But it will take time for Roy and Miller to really get used to each other, and you don’t want Roy to suffer by taking more long-range shots because Miller is clogging the lane and handling the ball most of the clock.

Now for Joel over Oden, that would be a bit more of a head scratcher because Oden needs the minutes, unless Nate really believes in a go-go-go second unit.

Besides, the #1 path to superstardom is a big market team, or national TV exposure

Since he can’t get the former, it takes a championship team to get a lot of the latter. A couple great games on national TV, and his stats won’t matter because “he’s a team player, the next generation star” blah blah blah.

Yep I know. But I'd really like to make sure the team is good around Brandon

When Roy is out, the team falls apart, minus the famous Boston game.

So I don’t want Roy to turn into Dwyane Wade. I’d like him to be, well… Brandon Roy. The star who makes sure he improves his team.

by Timmay! on Oct 16, 2009 1:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

If he is supposed to be BRoy, you don't want him to take more mid-range and outside shots as said above

Almost by definition his efficiency would go down as opposed to his fabled drives to the rim.

His overall efficiency that is. I expect him to become a slightly better three point shooter this year.

We should do a check on how many drives to the rim he did per game last year

And how many of them were before the 4th quarter. I think we might be overestimating his driving activity prior to the 4th.

It might be beneficial to have him drive less until the 4th.

by Timmay! on Oct 16, 2009 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think there is a lot more to the make-up of the second unit

in Nate’s decision-making than most people are giving credit for.

One way to look at it is Roy does not need anyone else to create for him. But Rudy and Outlaw need it. Blake can’t provide it as much as Miller can. And if the end result is more team victories by having Blake start and Miller come off the bench, and probably finish the game, what does it matter?

I just don’t get why so many folks are so upset about this.

And it’s AMAZINGLY clear that very few are willing to give Nate any credit for the great job he’s done so far coaching this team. Did he not help guide this team to 54 wins last season? He has definitely earned the right to coach this team without all the sturm und drang.

Travis is a horrible starter and finisher (lol) but he still get’s burn. Batum has played in late during games and proved to be excellent on defense. he also hit that 3 agaist, i think Indiana (maybe), last season.

i agree about Outlaw.

he’s good in the middle though. haha.

 I think Batum will develop in to a finisher when his offense gets more consistent. The thing that makes Rudy better right is big game experience and Rudy seems to have a little more flair for the moment, like he doesn’t shrink from it. I’m not sure if Batum is the same yet, but I think he can get there.

You're correct, you can partition as you wish when installing manually.

You can also install Lenovo’s Rescue and Recovery separately from their download page.

I can’t comment on how well it works when you install it separately (never done it), so I can’t guarantee much about it. Not sure if it changes your partitions or anything either.

Also, not sure if it actually supports Windows 7 natively yet. If you’re not sure, then maybe check in with Lenovo… if they’re going to send out upgrades soon, maybe it’s worth waiting, trying their install out, then moving to a clean install between quarters if you find their image isn’t to your liking.

funny story....

back when I lived on upper hawthorne, my roomies and I ordered a BBQ chicken pizza from Vincente’s – delivered. So we waited for over an hour and we had been fairly regular customers, so we called them to see what the deal was. They said that they had lost our order because they were really busy, but would rush one out to us with their next delivery. We said “It’s cool, cause we like your pie and we’re all like too baked to get angry about it” and they’re like, “Cool we’ll get that to you as soon as we can.” So we wait around for another like 45 minutes and after calling them again to see what’s up they say," hey we’re so sorry we’re gonna send you guys an extra pizza for your trouble." So we’re like alright and then like 5 minutes later the first pizza shows up. So I’m eating a slice and it’s really good but suddenly I get a really stringy piece of cheese, like really stringy- almost rubbery. So I pull it out of my mouth and it’s a FREAKIN’ RUBBER BAND! They had been having a rubber band war in the restaurant and one got lost in the cheese and baked into the pizza, delivered to our house an over two hours late and found its way into MY MOUTH!
      So we call them up and I say, “Hey you guys should be more careful having rubber band wars in the kitchen” and they’re like “Oh Geez, we’re sorry about that. Why don’t we send you another pizza to make it up to you?” And at this point I’m like we don’t need any more pizza, but we were all broke 20 somethings so we say screw it, we’ll have leftovers. So long story short, we ended up getting like 4 pizzas because their signals got crossed a couple of more times that night, and I think that was the last time we got pizza from them. After that we went Rovente!

I was about to sink my teeth into a personal pizza in the restaurant, and saw a PUBIC HAIR on my pie. No mistake. It was a short and curly. I went up to register and showed it to the manager and he got all red in the face, furious,like it had happened before, and said excuse me. He went into the back and got all the employees to come into his office. They all came out with a thousand yard stare. He offered me free food for me and all my friends, and coupons for a few free large pizzas, but I was done with Round Table at that point. Haven’t been back since.

I love coconut. But I also remember many times in my near-Dickension upbringing where the only sweet thing in the house was a bag of shredded coconut.

So maybe that explains why I’m really the only one in my family who likes it. I don’t really know why we always had that stuff around, because I can’t remember it being put in anything at my house. Weird. Also I remember in like second grade we made fake mini burger’s with peppermint patties, nilla wafers for buns, and coconut that was died green for lettuce. They were so good until the teacher made an egregious error by using extra sharp cheddar cheese. That was the day I stopped trusting the judgment of adults…

Just realized the formula for a Spielberg action vehicle.
1. Happy scenery, nice set-up
2.Something bad happens
3. Hero/Heroine seperated from fellow protagonists.
4. A seemingly unrelated skill is used by said Hero/Heroine in combination with a Rube Goldbergian series of chance events involving an antiquated/ dilapidated setting which coincides with crescendo by John Williams.
5.Hero/Heroine is reunited with protagonists, just in time for one more (expected) unexpected scene to resolve plot(leaving space open for sequel)
6. Moviegoers leave theater feeling okay, but probably like less of a person than when they came in.

Skipped drafting more bench guys

12 team mock draft, with slightly different positional requirement than BRP had set for our JD league. I had the 9th pick in the 1st and took Iggy. I feel it’s pretty good, though I missed out by 1 on Harris and by 1 on Nene, and it’s lacking a bit on three point shooters. Couldn’t bring myself to take Bynum. There was another Blazers fan in it who took Roy and LaMarcus way too high. I got Oden in like the 8th round.

Well Lee is a 40% three point shooter, and Parker and Rondo don’t kill you at the line and neither do those big guys. But agreed, yet I couldn’t bring myself to go with a guy like Redd just for this. Maybe I’m still thinking too much in versatility.

it’s about threes made, not percentage. So a guy like Baron is a bad shooter but hits a lot.

I missed it, but the Tyson documentary was very good. Lots of stuff that makes you feel a lot of empathy for him followed by stuff that makes you shake your head.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

Mills is a D-League stasher anyways I think

I think they only signed him because he wasn’t going to be able to get another contract and they wanted to hold his rights.

For 1 weekend or so

Oh wait, Bayless isn’t a pure point guard :)

well bayless isn't a true pg

but i doubt he will play much sg in the pros so im making him a pg by default

Happy birthday to the ground!

by phillyduck23 on Oct 16, 2009 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

Jerryd really doesn't have a position yet

But his shot is closer to being right compared to his playmaking ability. Which is why I think he is closer to being the best 3rd string sg than pg even those currently he might just be the worse “combo guard” possible – having the weakneses and lacking the strengths of both guards.

too bad the flu shot is a crap shoot

they dont know the strain that you will get, and the vaccine is for the most likely. the mist is even worse because its a live strain and it often gives people the flu. thats like saying if i use a condom i will never get aids
