Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

THANKSGIVING JUNK 11/26/09


         So I am so excited for thanksgiving. It is the biggest meal I will cook in the winter (I got the BBQ going all summer long), and so I thought it'd be appropriate to share my recipe for the most delicious, succulent, juiciest, most moistest, sweetest turkey with the most tender boobs possible. This junk is so wet it's pouring off the cutting board, onto the counter, and down onto the floor. So if you wanna know the secret, (or you think you already know, and want to feel all special and smart about yerself), then cross the jumpy line with me, and I'll clues yous in.

Star-divide

           So the first thing to do, is forget what your mom did. Forget about Norman Rockwell paintings and the cover of Sunset magazine. If you cook your bird like Martha Stewart you are gonna go dry. FIGHT THE CONSPIRACY. Now there are two schools of thought when it comes to step number one. To brine or not to brine. Some will say that by brining, you will replace some of the water that's naturally occurring in the turkey with flavored water. Sounds good, and the rules for that are pretty simple. Salt and water are the main components, mixed up like it says, briny. That means saltier than sea water. To that you can add spices, liquor, herbs, sugar, what have you. Personally I don't brine, I rub oil and salt and poultry seasoning all over my bird, and it turns out plenty good. The main reason is because I don't want a couple gallons of turkey water floating around, and I don't have a very large fridge and, what can I say, I'm lazy.

             So once you've figured out what your gonna do there, the next and THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, is how you cook the turkey. I roast mine in the oven. I don't know nothing bout no deep-fried jibba jabba, so step aside with your overloaded, housefire bucket, and talk that smack to someone else. I take a roasting pan, fill it up with chopped onions, carrots, celery and herbs and I heat the oven up to 400 degrees, and I throw that bird in there, and here it is, BOOB SIDE DOWN. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me. Stick that sucka boob side down on those veggies, make a little tent with aluminum foil to keep from burning wingtips, and slide that sucker in. As a rule I drop the temp after about 45 minutes to 325, and cook for another 45 minutes before I pull that thing out, put on my gloves that look like they had a bit part in the hostel movies, and I flip that bird over. Only cook it like this for the first 1/3 of the total time. It'll be  hot and slippery, but I'm sure if you ask Tominhawaii nicely, he will tell you how to handle such things.

            After that cook it for another third of the time with the foil put back in place, then for the last 1/3, I take the foil off and let it get brown. When the mams are 160-165 take it out and let it rest, for at least half an hour. That's it. The other side benefit, is by cooking it on your veggies and herbs, you will create the best turkey stock for making your gravy, that you could possibly have. Already flavored and thanksgivingy, follow these steps and save your accolades for yourself, give it to your family and look like a friggin' turkey genius. Delicious turkey.

Meh

The thing about that is that all Eggers says …and mean all he says….is that Miller is better than Blake and he is not starting….no thought given to the idea of fit at all …Miller seems to fit the 2nd unit personnel better. I think this is Nate’s rational and Eggers doesn’t address it at all…not even to dismiss it

" Welcome to the Bedge....where good, is never good enough"…Rudiculous

by 92wastheyear on Nov 26, 2009 8:47 AM PST up reply actions  

I just read the article

It seems kind of one sided. I don’t understand why the Miller/Blake thing is such a hard concept to understand.

Last year, the Blazers biggest weakness was at point guard, both starting and backup. The best point guard on the team, not counting Roy, was Blake. The backup point guard was a good play maker, a somewhat adequate shooter, who played poor defense. Last year Blake and Roy played the most minutes at point guard. Also, all but three rookies are used to playing with Blake at point guard.

The Blazers sign Miller who is Sergio on steroids; an excellent play-maker, a decent shooter, who plays decent defense. Pretty much everyone on the team is used to playing with Blake or Roy controlling the ball. Most the players are still looking to get bailed out by the point guard in the corner whether it’s Blake, Miller, or Bayless.

Blake was the starter of a 54 win team and Miller makes $7 million a year, both are valid reasons for starting and completely unrelated. You could probably have a team with three all stars and change out every player except them each season, and still make the playoffs, but will the have home court advantage? I think continuity and familiarity are also important and Miller will start at some point.

I think continuity and familiarity has contributed to Golden State winning and the Blazers winning while playing “below their potential.” In less than a month, Miller will be starting and fans will be complaining about Blake playing the last two minutes, while Roy controls the ball.

If you can can't afford the colleges, that's certainly a problem

But personally I wouldn’t assume you have no chance at some better colleges. A good writeup can definitely help, and sometimes a university will accept folks you don’t expect. It may simply depend on that year’s group of applicants. They’ll always say they have sky-high qualifications to get in, but they will actually let in folks underneath those expectations if they feel they may be a strong performer.

Jobs are very similar: It’s pretty normal to apply for a job you’re a little under the qualifications for. You may simply be a good fit, and they overlook the qualification difference because they didn’t find any better fit for the position.

The safest way to not get into Harvard is to never apply.

Figuratively or literally speaking. I wish I had gone to a great school for my undergraduate degree, would have made a lot of things easier. But at that time I didn’t really know about the quality of universities, my family had little money, and the last thing I wanted was sitting in an auditorium with 300-400 people. So I went a different route. But that certainly wasn’t easier, and I had to claw my way back to get into top universities later.

you need to write a bunch of stock application essays, then you can modify them to fit your requirements.

Some tips:

(1) apply to private and public.
(2) Get your FAFSA in, work on finding the local scholarships in the area. Elk’s clubs, Rotary, etc. They have fewer applicants and are easier to get if you can really nail an interview.

If you ever need any tips, i went through all of this extensively last year. I’d be glad to help.

Those Fusions do look intriguing

But those retro Muscle Cars are right in my wheel house with the Mustang being my fav ….but I have affection for both the Camaro and the Challenger as well. One disappointing thing is that the Pontiac division was discontinued….I would have LOVED to see a Firebird based off the new Camaro. It would have been awesome!! Maybe some aftermarket guys will get in on that action.

PS I have a 1969 Firebird ragtop sitting in my garage

resurgance?

that’s why i don’t like espn/national media sometimes. that’s not the right word. how can someone who’s never done anything in the nba have a resurgance? this is just a surgence! he’s right where he should be, maybe even beyond (especially defensively), for someone playing their 2nd year in the NBA.

The important part is that ESPN is adjusting their commentary on Oden

It has gone from “he’s clearly under performing” to “If you haven’t been paying attention, he’s on the verge of a breakout season”. Good ESPN coverage goes a long way for the average sports fans’ perception.

There was a great moment in last night's Sportscenter recap

When the recap reached the fourth quarter, the announcer said “It’s Greg Oden time!” and they showed him dominate in the paint during the 4th.

That’s a definite change in coverage.

I’ve been sayin’ that they will embrace Oden quickly. Hype is hype, people know who he is. As quickly as they can kill him, they can quickly write the always fun “who saw this coming” pieces.

I think she cooks the entire meal just to have the stuffing sometimes.

My favorite is the rolls. Her response is that rolls are not a food. They become a food when they’re dried out and turned into stuffing.

LMA’s declining PER is a good example of when PER doesn’t show a good picture of what is happening. His rebounding and efficiency are up a bit, but he’s had fewer attempts and less usage so his darn PER goes way down. LMA has been better this year than last.

Squarespace.com is awesome. That's all.

If I would start a new blog (independent of the topic), I’d really consider this as a platform to start out with something that works and looks good. Won’t exactly recreate the feeling of SBN, but for articles and photos with a few comments it’s more than enough. Easily better than about any other free and hosted “low cost” platform (e.g. good sharing features for promotion).

I’m currently in the process of creating a re-design for a personal homepage (old one is outdated, and I’m sick of the design and also working in HTML editors or in Flash), and then moving all my old projects there that currently just cost me too much money distributed on various sites (supports folders and even downloadable storage files). Time to sell some domains, too.

I’m not affiliated with them in any way, but those guys are really doing a better job than a number of hosting and design options I have tried. And they let you in (with importing features) and out (with month-to-month plans and export to XML) quickly again, unlike a certain company that always wants to keep me for 6 more months without ever warning you that it’s time for a new cycle.

Craig Sager has outdone himself with his suit once again. Looks like a mix between snakeskin and an optical illusion.

http://twitpic.com/r3piu

I think he should be inducted into the suits hall of fame, and on his grave stone should be inscribed “He died in his suit, that he loved so much”. His eulogy should mainly describe his suits. The man is a moving talking suit. I couldn’t tell you anything about him but that he wears odd suits. It’s all he is known for, which is good on one hand (secures him this job) but bad on the other. There is an announcer from Canada in the NHL who rivals him, but apart from that he is pretty unique. A living testament to ugly and odd suits. Just suits.

I never got the premise of that show. Have you ever been to one of the islands, like Samoa?

The people are well fed there. Nobody has to try to survive. And the film crew has catering. I don’t get it. They could just as well film it as a game show in a studio to save costs. Or do a real survivor somewhere where it’s actually dangerous and you risk dying of dehydration or cold or wildlife or falling over a cliff. But that would look like more fake version of a Bear Grylls show, only with groups. Just a stupid show. I don’t even think that format is popular anywhere but in the US, but could be wrong.

Well, Roy already uses Oden picking a lot already. I feel like if they could run an actual pick and roll correctly a few times they would realize how devastating a play it is.

It seems like a good way to involve Roy and Oden in the play together. Shade toward Oden, Roy gets the jump shot. Trap Roy, Oden flies down the lane.

Completely agree.

I was in the camp of letting Oden clean up the glass for his offense.
But Oden is completing devastating down low. We need to find ways to get him the ball other than just passing in and having him back down his man.

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 my fellow hoops gluttons on this post-turkey dinner night

The University of Portland is playing UCLA on ESPN2 right now. UP actually has a decent shot, they have a lot of shooters and given the offensive difficulties UCLA has had so far, if the Pilots can grab an early lead they just might pull the upset.

Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMiillan = Cedric Daniels (well intentioned leader, but he can be too rigid for his own good at times)
Martell Webster = Wee Bey Brice (straight up solider who follows orders; every organization needs these guys to be successful)
Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield (he's new to the game, but he's watching and waitng; he will take over and there will be casualties)
Rudy Fernandez = Jimmy McNulty (he gets results, but the leadership wishes he was less of a wild man; the ladies love him)
Greg Oden = Michael Lee (he started off a quiet kid, but he's beginning to tap in to his huge potential to change the game)
Andre Miller = Lester Freamon (do not let the laconic demeanor fool you, the veteran knows what's up)
John Canzano = Scott Templeton (scummy muckraker who stays up at night polishing his award)

Donald (or "Puddles" as the mascot is known) is the IP of

Disney, they license the use of the duck to UO under some very stringent terms. Basically, anything UO does without Disney approval could put the use of the mascot at risk. The scuttlebutt is that this was the motivation behind the introduction of that god-awful Roboduck a few years ago – UO wanted a mascot they had complete control over.

Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMiillan = Cedric Daniels (well intentioned leader, but he can be too rigid for his own good at times)
Martell Webster = Wee Bey Brice (straight up solider who follows orders; every organization needs these guys to be successful)
Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield (he's new to the game, but he's watching and waitng; he will take over and there will be casualties)
Rudy Fernandez = Jimmy McNulty (he gets results, but the leadership wishes he was less of a wild man; the ladies love him)
Greg Oden = Michael Lee (he started off a quiet kid, but he's beginning to tap in to his huge potential to change the game)
Andre Miller = Lester Freamon (do not let the laconic demeanor fool you, the veteran knows what's up)

"They didn’t want to do it," Slade said of the UO’s reaction to Doherty’s [the Nike employee’s] proposal. "They thought it would bring more attention to the video."

more in depth article about it

It wasn’t until later Tuesday morning that Angie Sit, Oregon’s assistant athletic director for marketing, got involved. Sit’s message to the guys was sharp and unequivocal: edit The Duck out of the video, or take down the video, or else. They had until 5 p.m.

They appealed, pointing out that putting together their production had taken an entire weekend. Removing The Duck involved not only editing, but remixing and possibly reshooting. And, they are students, after all. They do have classes.

The appeal got nowhere.

“She said she would go to the legal department at Disney and get back to me,” Slade said. “But she didn’t seem to want to help too much.”

Sit didn’t return a call seeking comment. Williford said she would not call.

So, the guys reluctantly shut down the YouTube video Tuesday night.

“People ask, what harm does it do?” Williford asked rhetorically. “It sets a bad precedent.”

The Warriors (2-4) certainly needed some good news. The team also learned Monday that Biedrins is suffering from Osteitis Pubis, which is inflammation of the muscles that attach his right groin and abdominal muscles. Biedrins will be re-evaluated on Nov. 23, which means he will miss the entire five-game road trip that starts Wednesday in Indiana.

He’s still out for another week too.

My friend was skeptical about how good Oden was doing

Since he thinks I am like some huge Blazers homer, at least when it comes to Oden. I admit I am an Oden homer, but I think I’m pretty fair.

So, since I’m always talking about PER and per-36 and block/rebound percentage and crap, he thinks I’m cookin’ the books, so I showed him Oden is the tenth best player in raw stats for fantasy— which is largely offensively based.

and now he’s getting all this production in pretty limited minutes compared to other centers. he still has plenty of room to improve too, which is very very exciting

But he’s getting over a steal a game, and has 24 blocks in 15 games.

Pure rumor, but wow: NBA affiliate in Boston says 13 refs involved in the gambling scandal
BOSTON — A source tells 7Sports that the gambler at the center of the 2008 NBA betting scandal says 13 referees were involved.
Jimmy “The Sheep” Battista pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transmit wagering information in connection with disgraced NBA official Tim Donaghy and served 15 months in federal prison.
The source also tells 7Sports that Battista claims he has the phone records to prove his contact with these 13 referees.

Stern’s worst nightmare, along with LeBron and Kobe filming a sex tape while doing drugs or something. The story has NOT been picked up by any major site or TV network as far as I know so far, which means there is nothing to it and they just wanted to grab attention and failed if you believe in the good NBA, or the NBA is doing everything to suppress it if you believe in the evil NBA.

Nice.

I miss my family’s secret recipe for stuffing, so secret I shall tell you the ingredients here.

Yummy ground sausage, apples and/or cranberries, bread, butter. And some normal stuffing seasoning.

I am telling you, it’s the best thing about Thanksgiving. We make a crockpot extra batch of it every year, and bake more extra in the oven. And we STILL don’t ever have enough. So bad for you, but so good.

Not sure. We are on day 2.5 of her not being able to keep food down, and she is just getting too weak to ignore it anymore. It’s a constant battle with her never quite right abdomen.

And to top it all off, my mom’s dog of 15 years finally passed away today after two surgeries in the last two weeks. Definitely not a Thanksgiving to write home on.

I am not thankful that my apartment still hasn't been sold

My landlord and his real estate agent had a buyer, and at the last minute he bailed because some company still has a lawsuit ongoing regarding the construction of the building or something. This house is a mess. Back to square one, i.e. cleaning up everything and having people walk through my living room over the weekend. What the zach! This has been going on since July and has to end now before Christmas. I have much more important things to do in my life. Somebody just give me a bank account where he wants me to send my rent and all is good. I don’t want to see anybody but my family and friends in where I live. Never did.

There are lots of things that she can explain that aren’t sexual. She is very multifaceted. She curses in multiple languages and with a NY accent. She talks trash and makes bets like they are going out of style. She fights like a girl. She knows how to dress men up in drag and enjoys it. So many things besides sex.

Netflix's watch on your computer selection is pretty rad

I had no idea. I knew Netflix was awesome, but I didn’t know their “watch now” was so good. I am using my parent’s account to watch crap on my laptop. Now I can watch the first 2 seasons of Dexter!

The DVD is a dying medium, so Netflix is moving into the future :)

You can also get it via your Xbox. I fully expect Apple to introduce a subscription model too, although the music and movie studios probably don’t like it because then it’s game over. And Jobs once said nobody wanted that, but he also said nobody wanted to watch video on the iPod and guess what he switched…

It's a bit too loud for my taste of a DVD player/other set-top box

http://www.roku.com/ should become pretty good, but not available here yet. TV networks are also a bit afraid that on those machines any movie and (video) podcast can be displayed like on your TV. I have seen a discussion about 2 years ago where an executive from a satellite company (Astra) discussed something like this, and a number of european network executives looked at each other with a blank “oh no” stare. Very specialized content just for you, with or without commercials they can’t control, over channels they can’t control.

I just got back from shopping at the Woodburn Outlet Mall.

What a clusterzach. We left at 11 thinking by time we got there at midnight it wouldn’t be as busy. WRONG. Traffic was backed up like 6 miles. The right lane was dead stopped so we just stayed in the middle one until about a mile and cut someone off. It still took us an hour to go 4 miles.

People started walking on the side of the freeway at about 3 miles. They then climbed the fence after walking through grass that was probably mud.

I don’t think I will be doing that again.

LONDON (Reuters) – The word “fail” should be banned from use in British classrooms and replaced with the phrase “deferred success” to avoid demoralizing pupils, a group of teachers has proposed.

Members of the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT) argue that telling pupils they have failed can put them off learning for life.

A spokesman for the group said it wanted to avoid labeling children. “We recognize that children do not necessarily achieve success first time,” he said.

“But I recognize that we can’t just strike a word from the dictionary,” he said.

The PAT said it would debate the proposal at a conference next week.

By the way, I got an updated certificate from a British university where people now get ranked on a scale from 1 to 20. I got a 3, which would be like A- and is still well within a “first class” according to old UK scales, but somehow looks bad since 3 is just “satisfactory” or looks like a C in other grading systems on a passing glance. Stupid.
