Oct. 8 Bob Asmussen football chat
Our longtime beat writer is up and at 'em after his August heart attack and hoping to talk some Illini football. Ask him about Tim Beckman's future, recruiting and schemes ... or anything that's on your mind. Bob's chatting at 1 p.m. Monday but submit questions any time.
Welcome back to another chat. Sorry I've been gone for so long. I have really missed our weekly talks and am thrilled to be able to do them again.
I'm gradually getting myself ready to go back to work. I've still got some recovery to do, but it's going well. Thanks for all of the kind words you have passed along. It means a lot.
And thanks to the News-Gazette staff, especially Jim Rossow, Marcus Jackson, Paul Klee and Loren Tate, who have done a tremendous job covering the Illinois football team. I want to be able to help as soon as possible, but the paper and HQ are obviously in good hands.
Enough of the sentimental stuff, let's get to the questions.
Oh, wait, a housekeeping matter first. We are giving Chicago Bulls tickets away tonight at our weekly radio show. Join us at The Esquire if you get the chance. It should be fun.
Now, I'm answering questions.
Welcome back. You've been greatly missed.I'd like to feel encouraged that the Illini stayed in the game until the 4th quarter but if Wisconsin's QB wasn't missing open recievers it could have been much worse earlier. Give me some hope and reason to keep watching.
Dave C.,
Well, I think Nathan Scheelhaase is playing better. He's obviously feeling better, which means a lot to a guy who uses his legs as much as he does. And I like that he tried to high-five the official. Classic. He hasn't forgotten how to play football, but he needs some help from the lineman, receivers and running backs.
On defense, I thought Michael Buchanan looked involved against Wisconsin. The seniors have to realize they are running out of time.
The schedule softens up to... well, after Saturday. Illinois should beat Indiana at home, though I'm guessing the Hoosiers are counting that one as a win too.
Bob - What are your feelings on all the so-called Illini "fans" that want to see Beckman fail so they can blame Thomas....because they are mad that he fired Bruce Weber? Dispicable I say.
I'll tell you what I said on our radio show last week: It's way, way, way too early to make any kind of evaluation of the Tim Beckman era. Of course, the team is struggling. But we don't know that that wouldn't have happened with any new coach. Or had Ron Zook stayed. Transitions sometimes mean a step or two backward. It isn't pleasant, but it can happen.
I think Mike Thomas made the moves he felt were necessary and I wouldn't argue with any of them. You have to give him more than half a season to make a call on it. I understand the eagerness to win now, but it isn't always realistic. Let Tim Beckman have more time and it might just get turned around.
I don't get why anyone would be against an AD unless the guy is just a complete jerk. And that isn't the case with Mike Thomas. He faced difficult challenges at Illinois and went at them in a professional way. I can't fault him for any move to this point.
Great to have you back and in good health!
I was disappointed that your colleague Paul Klee called the Beckman hire a disaster after only five games. After what amount of time or under what circumstances should a new coach hire be declared a disaster by a reasonable sports reporter
I will defend Paul's right to write what he wrote. He was asked to give an opinion and he gave it. That's what we do.
I think we all want instant analysis of everything. After the presidential debate, there were winners and losers declared immediately. I would have liked for some time to form my own opinion.
I think you have to give a coach at least three years and I liked the old days when they went five. In today's way of thinking., Frank Beamer would have been long gone at Virginia Tech before building a power. He is the best example of what's what wrong with a quick trigger. If you give the coach a five-year deal, let him stay that long.
Of course, there are exceptions. If you see the program going out of control, you have to make an earlier change. But I certainly don't think that's the case at Illinois right now.
Bob: Great to have you back!! How are you feeling...and have you changed any of your routines? We really missed you during these tough times for the football team.
Thanks for the kind words. Everything has pretty much changed for me. Diet, excercise, regular doctor visits, you name it. It was a great wakeup call for me and I'm happy I'm still around. I want to keep it that way as best I can.
It's been tough not being on the road. I love going to Madision. Ann Arbor? Not so much. But Columbus is another favorite trip. I'll be back out there in 2013.
Welcome back Bob,
Is Illinois going to win any more games this year? Seems like Beckman has lost the team. A team that had several pro-caliber players (especially on defense) will be lucky to get any drafted if this getting blown out over and over keeps up.
Vic Zook,
Yes, Illinois will win more games. Probably against Indiana. And maybe Minnesota. If the team can stop turning the ball over in critical moments or allowing big plays on defense, it can win several of its remaining games.
What this team needs more than anything is a shot of confidence from something going right in a game. Take a 14-0 lead against Michigan. Block a punt for a touchdown. Score on a kickoff return.
I'll write something ridiculous: a bowl isn't out of the question. Illinois could beat Northwestern, Minnesota, Indiana and Purdue if it gets itself together. But it won't happen without drastic improvement.
The players aren't helping themselves in the draft, but they will still be picked. Too many good athletes not to go to the NFL.
Welcome back Bob! I have missed your articles and crazy votes for the AP poll. I hope that now that you are back that the ILLINI get their butt in gear. What do you think that they can do to win back over the fan base? It seems like everyone is calling for Beckmanns head, what are your thoughts?
I don't think I will have a positive or negative impact on the team. At this point, they need to play for themselves and for their legacy.
I think an upset win, against Michigan or Ohio State, would give the fans something to have some hope about. And I think that's the most important missing item: hope. Fans are looking ahead to next year when the team loses several top players and wondering how it will get better. But a big win or two would change that notion some,
You've got to give a coach more than six games. Unless you are George Steinbrenner. And he, sadly, is no longer with us.
Bob, the team's fortunes seemed to go south with Klee and Marcus in charge of N-G coverage. Coincidence? I think not! Great to have you back chatting and hope you're doing well.
I would agree with you except that the team's record during my years on the beat is way under. 500.
So, we should't blame Paul and Marcus. Let's blame Loren Tate. He seems to be a constant during the years of struggles. Or maybe we should blame TV guys or ESPN.
Sadly, reporters have no influence on the performance of a football team. We simply want to tell you what happened.
Do you think if they did fire Beckman, that they would go for a proven winner in Bobby Petrino?
What percentage would you give to Beckman being fired after this season? after next season?
Does our o-line lack talent or is the coaching falling short? Our run game is pitiful! So far I don't see any recruiting help coming, either.
The injuries have definitely been a problem there, but I think Illinois was short-handed coming into the season. From what I understand, Tim Beckman wanted to add depth with junior college players, but it didn't work out. I think another body or two would make a difference.
From talking to people who know about offensive line play, Luke Butkus is a good coach. And he will continue to get better. He is trying to make it work with guys who aren't ready to star at the Big Ten level.
I think the offensive line recruiting took a hit late in the Zook era and that is showing now. I do think Illinois will end up with a solid class of linemen in 2013. The coaches have playing time to offer. But it isn't easy to move into the lineup in a hurry.
First welcome back hope all is going well. I will make this short and sweet Banks has to replaced after this season no way he comes back right?
No D,
Of course, the coordinator is going to take all of the heat. But he isn't the only one responsible. The other assistants, the head coach and the players have a hand in the troubles too.
I think evaluations will be made after the season and decisions will be made. Some of them might be difficult ones. But don't assume that Tim Banks is out the door. Or any of the other coaches, either.
Bob, Good to have you back. Is there any reason Jon Davis has disapered from the offense? It seems like we have some real talent at tight end, but all we got from the previous staff and all we get from this staff is lip service about how much they are going to use this talent. Are the coaches so inept that they don't see this. I just don't get it.
Rambo Ron,
I'm stunned by the lack of production from Jon Davis. I thought going into the season he would catch 60 passes. I don't know if he is having trouble with the offense or is struggling in practice or can't get open.
Tight end appears to be a strength of the team. I guess it's possible that it doesn't fit with the plans of the coordinators, but if that's the case they need to make a change. When you have good players at the same position, you need to utilize them.
I do remember one year when Michigan brought out the best in an underutilized Illinois player. Jameel Cook had a big game against the Wolverines and it turned around his season. Maybe the same thing happens to Jon Davis.
Bob, great to have you back! Talk about Beckman's early dismissal is really dumb after only 6 games isn't it? In my opinion the real harm has been the previous athletic administration in viewing the state university as the U of East Central Illinois University for the past 25 years. They did this in everything from marketing, especially up here in the Chicago area to choosing there coaches. Instead of thinking big, they chose to go small and safe. End result is the product we have today, and the uphill battle we face. I realize they improved facilities, but what good is it if you don't capitilize on this make and some big time plans with the product on the field. Now you have a generation (last 25 years or so) of fans and prospective recruits who think of the U of I as an afterthought. I realize OSU, Michigan, PSU and now Nebraska have the tradition, but after those Illinois should take a back seat to no one. In fact given the facilites and closeness of recruiting areas we should be able to go toe-to-toe with them and even best them more than occasionally. Sorry, I guess having you back gave me an outlet to vent my frustrations. As for recruiting go to CSN.com for an interesting article on Illinois recruiting. Thanks!
Yes, talking about firing a coach after six games is wrong and ridiculous.
You make some good points. One thing I've always felt was that Illinois never got out in front of the arms race. Rather than be the first one with a fancy locker room, it was the eighth. I think that matters to some recruits.
Illinois needs to consider what the next big draw in college football will be and do it before anyone else in the Big Ten. Not sure what that is. Get some of those smart engineering students to come up with flying car. Just a thought.
Bob; Glad your back and hopefully taking things easy..Will Coach Beckman be in trouble with the NCAA for having tobacco on the field and being shown on TV putting chew in his mouth? What could the ramifications be and will Mike Thomas get involved..Thanks..
Many small high schools will form a co-op with other schools, in order to field a more competitive football team. Could Illinois look into a similar arrangement? Missouri is getting pounded in the SEC. Illinois and Indiana are equally inept in the Big Ten. If we combine the three schools for the purposes of football, do you think we can be competitive in the Big Ten?
So great to have you back, your insights and opinions were sorely missed by this fan. I hope you are recovering well, although watching this Illini team play football probably won't do you any favors! What are your thoughts on the season so far? Did you ever expect it to turn out like this with the defense playing so poorly, the offense staying virtually the same as the 0-6 part of last season, and the special teams still making so many miscues?
I am stunned by the way Illinois has started. I thought it would compete at Arizona State. And against Louisiana Tech. And against Penn State. Those games should have all been closer. By comparison, the Wisconsin score was more reasonable, although the Badgers aren't blowing the doors off the Big Ten either.
The way Illinois opened against Western Michigan makes it more puzzling. The team looked good in that game and in control. And I think the Broncos are a decent team. But it didn't carry over.
I would like to spend some time around the team to see what's going on mentally. I have to think there is some fracturing among the players. That happens when you lose games you don't think you will lose.
Can they turn it around? A lot will depend on the leadership of the team. If it is strong, there is a chance. But it doesn't look good.
We know this season has been a disaster. But, what's really worrisome is that few believe Beckman will be able to turn this around and will be a short term coach that leaves this program in worse shape than when he came.
What in your opinion are the problems? Will Beckman be able to fix them?
Do you see any reasons for optimism next year or beyond? How long will Thomas and/or the influential friends of the program wait before demanding a change?
The biggest problem to me is that lack of an All-American type playmaker on offense. We now realize how important A.J.. Jenkins was last season and he couldn't even prevent the six-game losing strong.
When you look at great teams across the country, you see two or threee guys who are better than anybody on the other team. That's how you win at a high level.
The reason for optimism next year is that the players who return will be more familiar with the program. This worked at Toledo and it can work here. But, apparently, not the first year.
Hi Bob -
First and foremost, welcome back! Glad you are back on your feet and feeling better. Missed your thoughts and writing.
So no question today, just want to express my (continued) disappointment in the Illini (can't use the word Fighting in front of them). I used to watch every game religiously.....then I would tape them and watch them later.....then I would tape them and just delete them.....now, I don't even bother. For the most part, they've broken my heart since I graduated 20 years ago. They've lost me as a fan. Beckman and crew are overmatched; shame on the AD for not shooting higher. Oh well, hang in there buddy, I wish you good health.
Bob, glad to have you back. Missed you on Mill Street in Tempe. Keep up the rehab. My questions and comments are as follows:
1. Should the Illini fb fan be surprised by the team's showing? I thought Zook left some very good players; other fans complained that he did not and we should wait for Beckman's own recruits. Nick Saban won a national championship without his recruits in the second year, and Mackovic won here with White's recruits after two previous disappointing seasons, 1986 & '87.
2. Does there seem to be much chirping from the players about the coaches' system? I do not remember this much talk about the offensive and defensive schemes from the players in previous years.
3. Are you aware that at the last home game that parking was not allowed on Pennsylvania Ave. as has been over the last few years? Yet, once the game was started the covers over the meters were pulled to allow parking. It was allowed in the first three home games this year, too. I parked there for the Western Michigan game. Also, free parking is not allowed in places near the livestock barn, as has been the case for the past 10 years. The university is forcing the fans to pay $20 now. Hey, thanks for driving 150 miles to support the team, now kick in some more money. Let's take the fun out of tailgating, Mike Thomas. If we are Michigan or Ohio State with a successful fb tradition, I understand it, but not now.
Dr. Phil,
I think the best coaches work with what they inherit, but sometimes the talent doesn't fit. Maybe that's the case here.
I haven't been around the players much since training camp, but there does seem to be more comments about the system. Maybe they feel like it's OK to talk. I like that they are being honest about it.
Sorry about the parking problems. I''m all for free. I'd suggest parking on the west side of Neil Street. All of that is free.
Welcome Back! Know that you were missed!
Are the players understanding what the coaching staff is attempting to do on Offense and Defense?
Are the players buying into the new coaching staff and their system?
Do we have the players to run this system?
Finally, anytime their is a coaching change there will be bumps in the road. I am not overly concerned about the wins and losses this year but more importantly for the long haul. Do you see the changes that are being made with the culture of Illinois Football being the answer for the long haul?
Take care of yourself!
There seems to be some sort of a disconnect between some of the players and what they are trying to do on the field. That can happen when you make a change. Some guys learn quicker than others.Bottom line, the coaches have to get the players ready.
I think there can be a problem when the past system, like the Illinois defense in 2011, was so good. Players talk about it and they might want to do things the old way. The smart players figure out a way to make it work with the new staff. But not everybody can make the transitiion.
I don't think we know for sure if this system will work in the long haul. But it did work at Toledo and continues to work at Toledo. I don't think Tim Beckman forgot how to coach. He simply isn't having the success most expected.

BLIPLE: The App that Makes Reflex Tests Fun
There have been many studies since the emergence of mobile phones that have aimed to show the extents to which using our phones can distract the brain, as well as how they can be detrimental to the cognitive development of children, but just as there are these studies, there are also many developers who have aimed to turn mobile phones into tools that we can use to train our brains.
Quantifying Thermal Comfort of Your Clothes
Did you know that there is a standard measurement unit called "clo" that is used to quantify the thermal comfort/insulation of the clothing? Its values ranges from 0 (naked person) to 1 (insulating value of clothing needed to maintain a person in comfort sitting at rest in a room at 21 ℃, or 70 ℉). This interesting article provides a simple calculator that you can use to get the total clo-score for your clothes. You can get a more specific breakdown for various items here.

Testing the Finger Tap Test
For the past several months I have been testing the CNS Tap Test, a mobile phone adaptation of the Finger Tap test often used by neuropsychologists and fitness professionals to measure the status of the central nervous system. The objective of this measurement experiment was to see if I could use this app to measure more objectively my physical and psychological health (I currently use subjective scales). The results were interesting but not sufficiently conclusive to include this test in my self-tracking inventory.
My Talk at the 2013 Quantified Self Conference
As promised, posting today the slides of my "100 Days of Summer" talk that I presented at the 2013 Quantified Self conference in San Francisco last Thursday (October 10). In this presentation, I shared most important and interesting results of the first phase of Measured Me project.
Talking 20: After Lots of Talking, Not So Much To Tell
Talking 20 is a young biotechnology start-up in California that aims at making low-cost, at home blood tests that could be used to track twenty essential amino acids (hence the name). In October 2012, I responded to their call for support on Twitter and purchased "T20 Starter Pack" home kit for ten dollars. I paid 12 dollars (2 dollars to cover shipping), and a couple of weeks later received the kit, which I mailed back to them in December. After waiting patiently for ten months, I can finally share with you what I learned from my blood test. Drumroll, please…
Three Temporal Patterns That May Affect Your Quantified Self Insights
In this post, I will discuss three invisible temporal patterns that are likely to be present in your self-tracking data and which, if ignored during analysis, may lead to erroneous conclusions and interpretations. I am talking about trends, social rhythms and intra-day variability.
Just Some Fun Stats from My Gmail Meter Report
Just received my July report from Gmail Meter (check out my post about awesome hacks you can do with Gmail data). As you can see, I am not a big fan of long email responses.
Quantifying Situational and Environmental Context
In this post, I would like to share some preliminary findings of my attempts at quantifying and tracking everyday situational and environmental context. Specifically, I will explain how I have been logging everyday situations and environment, and will talk about some interesting patterns that I found in my data.
My Lifestream Dashboard is Now Up!
My Quantified Summer lifestream is now up! I plan to update it every 7-10 days. Check it out here or by clicking MY LIFESTREAM on the main menu of my blog.
Tracking Willpower and Self-Control: Updated with Charts
(This is an updated version of previous post about tracking willpower, with interactive charts). Winslow Strong of Biohack Yourself (check out his awesome blog, by the way!) recently posted a great question on Quantified Self Facebook page, asking about ways to quantify restraint. This is when I remembered about my attempt to track willpower in March that was partially inspired by our conversation with Hiren Patel of Becoming the Best (another awesome blog!). My method for tracking willpower (self-restraint/self-control) was rather simple and straightforward.

JScript Variables and Constants
In any programming language, data represents information. For example, this string literal contains a question:
'How old am I?'
Variables and constants store data that scripts can easily reference by using the name of the variable or constant. Data stored by a variable may change as a program runs, while data stored by a constant cannot change. A script that uses a variable actually accesses the data that the variable represents. Here is an example in which the variable named NumberOfDaysLeft is assigned the value derived from the difference between EndDate and TodaysDate.
NumberOfDaysLeft = EndDate – TodaysDate;
In a mechanical sense, a script uses variables to store, retrieve, and manipulate the values that appear in scripts. Constants reference data that that does not change. Always create a meaningful variable name to help you remember the variable's purpose and to help others determine the script's functionality.

Designed this book cover, and it seems missing to me. I was trying to go after a sexy, bold font.
Client wants her whole body on the cover. Problem I think is that it looks fine if you are looking at it, while holding in your hand; but won't stand against competition on an Amazon page. Any suggestions for a better bold, sexy sans serif for title, would be appreciated.
Would love valid criticism and suggestions besides it looks amateur...

Gronkowski, Love miss practice
FOXBOROUGH — Rob Gronkowski was the only player to miss Wednesday's Patriots practice because of an injury, although a league source maintains he will return to practice this week.
Gronkowski has missed three games with a broken forearm, an injury suffered Nov. 18. He had surgery the next day, and is supposed to be out from four to eight weeks.
The only other player who didn't practice was Kyle Love, who had permission to miss. He and his wife, Constance, welcomed the birth of their first child, a son, on Wednesday.
Linebacker Brandon Spikes wasn't spotted at the beginning of practice, but according to the team-issued report, he was on the field inside the Dana-Farber bubble, limited with knee and ankle injuries.
Fifteen other Patriots were also listed under limited: defensive backs Kyle Arrington (knee), Patrick Chung (shoulder/hamstring), Alfonzo Dennard (hamstring), and Aqib Talib (hip); defensive linemen Ron Brace (elbow) and Chandler Jones (ankle); offensive linemen Dan Connolly (back), Logan Mankins (ankle/calf), Nick McDonald (shoulder), and Sebastian Vollmer (back/knee); tight end Aaron Hernandez (ankle); linebackers Dont'a Hightower (hamstring) and Tracy White (elbow); and receivers Brandon Lloyd (knee) and Wes Welker (ankle).

March 19, 2008
The single best gauge of economic performance is not growth in gross domestic product, but GDP per person, which is a rough guide to average living standards. It tells a completely different story, says the Economist.
Using growth in GDP per head rather than crude GDP growth reveals a strikingly different picture of other countries' economic health. For example:
- Australian politicians often boast that their economy has had one of the fastest growth rates among the major developed nations -- an average of 3.3 percent over the past five years.
- But Australia has also had one of the biggest increases in population; its GDP per head has grown no faster than Japan's over this period.
- Likewise, Spain has been one of the euro area's star performers in terms of GDP growth, but over the past three years output per person has grown more slowly than in Germany, which like Japan, has a shrinking population.
Some emerging economies also look less impressive when growth is compared on a per-person basis:
- One of the supposedly booming BRIC countries, Brazil, has seen its GDP per head increase by only 2.3 percent per year since 2003, barely any faster than Japan's.
- Russia, by contrast, enjoyed annual average growth in GDP per head of 7.4 percent because the population is falling faster than in any other large country (by 0.5 percent a year).
- Indians love to boast that their economy's growth rate has almost caught up with China's, but its population is also expanding much faster; over the past five years, the 10.2 percent average increase in China's income per head dwarfed India's 6.8 percent gain.

AUSTRALIA'S horror weekend in the Super Rugby competition has continued with the conference-leading Brumbies crushed 40-20 by the Crusaders in Christchurch.
The Brumbies, who haven't won in Christchurch since 2000, had more possession and territory but the undisciplined visitors were booted out of the game by Crusaders five-eighth Colin Slade, who outscored them on his own.
MATCH CENTRE: Live stats, scores and video highlights
The All Black landed seven out of eight penalties and one out of two conversion attempts to finish with 23 points.
The Crusaders did well in the set pieces and outmuscled the Brumbies at the breakdown.
"You're not going to get a result against a good Crusaders side unless you are solid in your set-piece and we were there for most of the game and then weren't there in parts,'' Brumbies captain Ben Mowen said.
"Early on, they put good momentum on the scoreboard and had us chasing.''
Down 22-6 at half-time, the Brumbies pulled within nine points early in the second half but then conceded 18 straight points.
The Crusaders scored three tries to two despite losing three players to injury in the first 20 minutes.
Flanker Matt Todd, centre Kieren Fonoktia and his replacement Tom Taylor were the first-quarter casualties.
The injuries seemed to have minimal impact on the Crusaders, who bossed the first half and went to the break with an imposing lead.
Slade kicked five penalties and converted a try to winger Johnny McNichol, who squeezed past or through three defenders just after the half-time siren sounded.
Two penalties to halfback Nic White supplied all the first-half points for the Brumbies, who rarely threatened the Crusaders' line in the first 40.
Ill discipline apart, the Brumbies missed 12 first-half tackles in an insipid opening display.
The visitors showed more spirit after the break, with hooker Stephen Moore crossing two minutes into the half after good lead-up work over a number of phases.
Christian Lealiifano's conversion had the visitors back to a 22-13 deficit, but that was as close as the Brumbies were able to get.
Winger Nemani Nadolo and flanker Luke Whitelock crossed for tries, Slade kicked two more penalties and his replacement, Wili Heinz, added a conversion.
The Brumbies created a number of last-quarter opportunities, with centre Pat McCabe — who was one of their few strong performers — scoring a late try, which was converted by five-eighth Matt Toomua.
CRUSADERS 40 (Johnny McNicholl, Nemani Nadolo, Luke Whitelock tries Willi Heinz, Colin Slade cons Slade 7 pens) bt BRUMBIES 20 (Pat McCabe, Stephen Moore tries Christian Leali'ifano, Matt Toomua cons Nic White 2 pens) at Christchurch Stadium. Referee: Glen Jackson.

"Third-quarter Gross Domestic Product was -7.1% year-on-year, versus our previous forecasts of -9.2%. Seasonally adjusted quarterly data scaled back to -0.7% versus -1.1% in second quarter. Q3 numbers suggest the Romanian economy is moving in the right direction and that we could even see a positive economic growth as soon as in fourth quarter. Today, we are even more convinced that third quarter will mark the worst point of recession", ING said.
ING analysts added that third-quarter GDP data confirm that full-year economic contraction is very likely to stand within 6.5%-7% range, versus ING's estimates of 7.5%.
"Until then, the level of confidence in our forecasts regarding a positive economic growth in 2010 has risen. However, we want to stress the fact that the Romanian economy will remain vulnerable to economic risks in the second half of next year", ING stressed.
The risks outlined by ING refer largely to political factors, measures that need to be put in place to bridge the budget gap, and "NBR's preference to control exchange rates, which subsequently puts interbank rates and household and business loans under pressure".
ING pointed out that the recovery of the Romanian economy cannot rely solely on external factors, even if for the time being, boosting external demand could resuscitate industry and exports, given that next year, net exports will have a lower contribution as imports are very likely to pick up.
Unemployment rates to hit 8% in 2009 and 10% in 2010
In October this year, jobless rate jumped to 7.1% from 6.9% in September, below ING's projections, which suggest that "unemployment rate should undergo a limited growth until the end of the year and 2010". Unemployment rates will increase once the state begins to cut jobs. In ING's view, unemployment rate will climb to 8%, below 8.4% previously forecasted

Doc Johnson Belladonna's Magic Hand Dildo
Love this hand
Reviewed: 21 September 2017 by DominusJim95
This is a great toy, I love using it on myself and my subs.
It's great for both anal and vaginal play. It comes in a nice box and it's pretty much the same size as my hands when I compared.
It's made from a very sturdy and nicely textured material and has no bad smell to it.
I would recommend that this is best used by those with a fair bit of anal experience and lots of lube should be used. The feeling is great though, especially as the widest point of the wrist slips in.
Seems quite expensive but worth every penny.
- Pros
- Felt amazing, like a real hand.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- One of my favourites.

It touches the spot. Definitely worth a go, easy to use very realistic, gradually opens you up in a nice way. I love fingers anyway. If you like the real thing it's not much different. I would recommend you pay a little extra for thrust renewer powder to keep it nice.
I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pros
- It was so realistic.
- Cons
- Nothing.

Most amazing toy ever
Reviewed: 23 August 2017 by HoneyBunnyBee
Well - what can I say. As usual, the service from Lovehoney was impeccable. The box arrived in plain packaging and I couldn't wait to rip it open.
The hand was neatly packaged and was just what I imagined. After stretching up a bit with a couple of other Doc Johnson dildos from Lovehoney, my partner eased this into my well-lubricated ass and slowly pushed deeper. It is quite a hard PVC but once you use it a few times it becomes easier. After reaching the widest point it just slipped so easily in and so so deep.
My partner moved it in and around and then moved it in and out - what an amazing feeling - like no other toy. I think the mounded hand and the curve mean it slips right up inside and touches so many parts.
After that it was out with the toy and in with a Doc Johnson strap on and then a gloved hand, but that's another review.
- Pros
- So unlike any other toy we've had before.
- Cons
- A tiny bit hard but you do get used to it as you loosen up.
- Bottom line
- Amazing - most amazing toy ever.

Rosebud on Rush Ratings and Reviews
yummy food, great kind waitress, love this place. Only little thing is they are crowded and fit as many tables as possible, so moving about is a little tricky but it doesn't stop us from returning. Very friendly and welcoming, highly recommend this place while in the city!
We got STUFFED on the enclosed area of the restaurant. There were no table cloths and we had limited space to even eat. The veal was low quality and covered up with mushrooms. The pasta was like warm when served. Very disappointed of the experience since we looked so forward to having a good dinner.
We were a large family group including teen-agers. The menu had options to suit everyone
and the stuffed mushrooms were awesome! it was a busy night so it was quite noisy but we had
a table out of the way and tho it was a little cramped, we were able to talk without shouting. A good place for a celebration.
We went to Rosebud for an impromptu brunch on a rainy Sunday morning. We had a stroller with a sleeping child and they accommodated us accordingly. The main dining room was down a short set of stairs with no available elevator, but the host helped me carry the stroller down them. The main dining room had a cellar-type of feel to it (in a cozy, good way), as it was down some stairs with windows out to the ground level near the top of the walls. There was a good-sized main bar area with 2 tv (on with no volume). The service was both timely and pleasant. We ordered a traditional eggs Benedict and a Greek omelette. There were 2 pieces of pound cake placed on the table after we were seated. The portion sizes were on the larger size, as my wife and I both took some leftovers home. As a side not, my wife has a gluten allergy and they were able to make most things gluten-free. They even offer a gluten-free pasta. The server was knowledgeable & aware, as well. Overall, we would recommend Rosebud and enjoyed our time there. Thanks!
We had a party of 6 and 3 of the people were running late so we let the host know that we wanted to be seated and we didn't want to wait for them. 45 minutes later we had not been seated and had to go inform the host again that we wouldn't be waiting for the other party and to please seat us, we were eventually seated almost an hour after arrival. After ordering our food was ordered the rest of our party showed up and the restaurant kindly moved us to a bigger table. The waitress finally came back and took the extra orders, unfortunately they decided to bring our order out altogether instead of bringing out the food we had ordered first and we ended up eating around 945 with an 8pm reservation. One of the girls in our party did not like her food and barely ate, she did inform our waitress that she was unhappy with the food and instead of trying to rectify it they still ended up charging us for it. All in all I was very disappointed and it left all of us with a sour taste in our mouth for this birthday dinner.
I look forward to trying this place again. My food was great, but our service was terrible. We went for breakfast on a Sunday. We chose to sit inside and we were the only party in our dining area, yet our server forgot to bring our food. I had the smoked salmon platter, & by the time I got my food, my toasted bagel was completely cold. I'd go back, the place was fun and the food was good.
Just crossing my fingers for better service next time.
Noisy, sat us under the speaker for the music. Asked to have it turned down so we could talk. They kept turning it back up. Too hot and stuffy in the basement, the shrimp were too well done and the eggplant was not breaded and fried but a gelatinous mass on my plate. Rude front desk staff and did not hold our reservation.
I have been eating here for twenty years since I first took a job in Chicago and worked around the corner on Michigan Avenue. Now I am in the loop and instead of regular lunches I save it for downtoen occasions with the family. It's a great mix of ambience, with just the right blend of cozy neighborhood Italian mixed with the rush street hot spot scene. Great classic Italian food straight from little Italy. Come for lunch or a great dinner and have a glass of Brunello.

Big Hype/Slow Starts: What's Wrong With Jay Bruce?
With every lowball trade offer that comes my way for Jay Bruce, I am often reminded of the words of Winston Churchill who once said, "Continuous effort — not strength or intelligence — is the key to unlocking our potential." I am also reminded of the words of the recently departed Chuck Tanner — "There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience." These words couldn't ring more true.
It's tough, sometimes, to exhibit the necessary patience in fantasy baseball. You had certain expectations of a player, whether they were realistic or maybe even a little generous and now you're looking at almost zero performance. It becomes more and more frustrating with each passing day as you see teams with inferior players having hot starts leap frogging you in the standings. But you need to take a breath, step away from the panic button, and don't make any rash decisions.
Those that drafted Bruce this season had fairly high expectations coming into the season. His power numbers have gradually increased each year and with the Reds rapidly improving lineup around him, it was assumed that he was going to take his game to the next level. After all, in spite of a regression to his normal K%, Bruce posted a career high slash line of .281/.353/.493 and saw his wOBA jump to .363 for the season. He even learned how to hit lefties better. Things were clicking beyond the normal increase of HR and RBI output and he finished 2010 with a 5.3 WAR rating.
So where is it going wrong for him this season? Why are his batting average and OBP back in the toilet and why did it take up until yesterday for him to launch his first home run of the season? He had himself a solid spring but once the regular season started, he's been a relative flop.
Normally, one would immediately turn to and cite an unusually low BABIP. That seems to be where most people run. But not only are we dealing with a time where the sample size is too small that the fluctuations too great, but Bruce, after Friday's game, had a .300 BABIP. Prior to yesterday's game, it was at .333, so it's not like he's just dealing with a little bad luck here.
To me, it looks like he's just swinging for the fences right now. Too much emphasis has been put on power totals and rather than just do what he had done all spring and work at getting on base and making solid contact, he's up there flailing away. All of a sudden, he's up there swinging at more than half the pitches he's seeing and has a ridiculous 38.1 O-Swing% making contact, just contact, only a little more than half the time. In fact, his overall contact rate is just 69.2%, well below league average, and his SwStr% is up to an unusually high 15.2%. It's gotten to the point where he's just not even seeing the ball well. He's sporting a 33.3 K% and when he is making contact, he's merely flying out at a rapid rate – 58.1%.
However, perhaps we've turned a bit of a corner after Friday's game. With the Reds down 6-0 and Bruce sitting on an 0-for-3 with two more fly outs, he finally launched his first home run of the season, a monster shot to straight-away center. Even the announcers were impressed with the power as they noted the heavy winds blowing in all night long. Maybe it was just Charlie Morton getting tired and grooving a pitch down the pipe, or maybe, with the pressure off, Bruce was able to just get up there, relax, and do what he does. He took the first pitch for a called strike, looked at a ball on the next and then saw exactly what he wanted on the third pitch and launched it. Perhaps it was an at bat from which to learn and build upon.
It's hard to say, especially with this slow start, whether or not Bruce will surpass last season's totals. Personally, I thought some of the projections were a bit optimistic and somewhat unrealistic. A slightly improved walk rate and a .334 BABIP helped pick up that average and OBP in 2010, but I had a hard time seeing a repeat performance. I believe the power is definitely there for him to stay in the 25-30 HR range, but Bruce is likely to remain a .260 hitter with a BABIP falling closer to .300. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Believe me, I'll be more than happy with a .260-25-75 line. But rest assured, he is certainly not going to hit .220 with only a dozen home runs.

Discussion in 'Hangout' started by Sat-Chit-ananda, Sep 5, 2012.
Especially when one considers Mitsubishi!! And very valid point about Toyota!!
I'll also vote for europian cars due to their high class safety, driving dynamics, build quality. Considering indian cars.
still i would say japs r much better in makin street cars.. real street racing cars..
nissin Skyline, Mitsu Lancer Evo and much others like them... i dnt think any europen car in trhe same price range can compete with these cars..
they r simply awesome.
well for example in the same price line u can compare BMW X1 and Toyota Fortuner and Mitsu Outlander. u will find the diff urself.
---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
and not to mention.. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is the most stable street racing car ever built in its price line
Japanese cars are good vfm cars than European ones in any format. Except Mitsubishi (i guess..........)
The service cost of Corolla altis sport is 3.5k where for polo its 8.5k
Vote for ITALIAN
Sorry I didnt understand what difference you meant..can you please elaborate a little for our(maybe my only)understanding..
i wont be able to elaborate completely but value for money u can understand.. hope u wont buy the car just for BMW tag..
well even in looks for me outlander is much better and features also..
u can it on any online car compare sites and hav a better picture...(well not to offend but hope everyone hav littile knoweledge about cars and its working etc.. in this group)
Separate names with a comma.

The only way to encourage more young people to graduate and get involved in STEM careers is by letting them know the opportunities out there. So what are you waiting for?By Kara Kennedy (Executive Director, Lumity)
Do you remember the moment you decided what you were going to be when you grew up? I considered being a nurse (like my mom) or a salesman (like my dad) or an educator until finally settling on social work, based on a teacher's suggestion.
In retrospect, I regret only exploring four career options, but I understand why it happened – I simply didn't have exposure to many workplace settings or career alternatives.
Not Much Has Changed
Not surprisingly, the outlook for many of our nation's young people is getting bleaker by the day. Consider the following statistics:
- If you are born into poverty today, you have a 42 percent chance of remaining in poverty for the rest of your life.
- Of the 30,000 freshmen who enter Chicago Public Schools each year, only about 2,400 will graduate from college.
- 78 percent of high school dropouts will be jobless by the time they are 24 years old.
Unfortunately, many students aren't exposed to much more than I was 30 years ago, at least when it comes potential career paths.
If we want to increase the number of students graduating from college, it starts by engaging, exposing, inspiring and preparing them for their career possibilities.
Turning the Tide in STEM Careers
When my nonprofit organization, Lumity, stumbled into providing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) experiential learning opportunities for students, discussions were focused on how we can encourage more technology professionals into teaching.
While educators are important, I don't think our approach should be limited to beefing up the ranks of faculty.
When students engage with STEM professionals, they gain access to a full range of career opportunities. This access has enormous potential for increasing graduation rates by inspiring young people to pursue STEM vocations.
What Can You Do?
There are a number of ways businesses can get involved, and if you are a STEM professional, you have something to bring to the table. Try one of these five tips to get started:
1. Host a Career Site Visit
Work with a local teacher to host a group of students at your facility. Here in Chicago, we work with CDW, which recently led a group of 18 students through their warehouse and data center, framing the event around the concept of careers in technology.
The students were also exposed to the sales department, where they saw individuals working directly with customers and explored another side of the tech industry.
2. Speak to a Classroom of Students
Take your passion beyond the four walls of your office and into a local classroom. Schools frequently host career day fairs, and it's a great chance to share your own experiences.
Tech experts Chandrika Shrinivasan and Anusha Challa of TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) both funded their own educations through tutoring services or scholarships. We partnered with the women to help them spend a morning with students at the Chicago Math and Science Academy sharing how they too can pursue careers in technology.
3. Solve Real-World Problems
Lumity also works with Accenture, which recently hosted 15 juniors and seniors to design an app targeting a problem in their school.
The students were put into teams of three and paired with digital marketing specialists, designers and project managers. Showing students how ideas work to solve real-world problems gets them excited to lend their talents to the industry and be part of something big.
4. Offer Summer Internships
Hire students to work alongside your team while they're out of school for the summer. A meaningful internship gives students the opportunity to see what a career in STEM really looks like and teaches them the work ethic and communication skills required to succeed in the workplace. Your team will also benefit from the experience and the extra hands on deck.
5. Offer Incentives for Mentorship
Give your team the extra motivation to mentor a student interested in STEM. Allow flex time on Friday afternoons for skills-based volunteering or offer rewards for getting involved. Often, support from executives is the push employees need to get more involved in the local community.
Our communities need volunteers to engage and inspire students. By increasing students' exposure to STEM careers, I believe that together, we can spark an interest, ignite a future and change young people's lives by helping them envision a brighter future.
How else do you think those in STEM careers could engage with young people?

text: An interesting interview from Kotaku was posted earlier today which featured Treyarch's Director of Communications John Rafacz. He starts by explaining Boot Camp: "There are three components to it,†he explains. "There's a thing we call boot camp. "Boot Camp is a mix of human and AI players versus a mix of human and AI players for full XP credit for the first ten levels. You are actually ranking up. Beyond level 10, once you pass that threshold, you start earning half XP. Then there's bot stomp which is just you and your buddies wailing on the AI.†Rafacz goes onto to discuss why Black Ops 2′s matchmaking will deliver on what they have said: "That's what gave rise to the thing we're calling league play. This is a more robust matchmaking system. On day one you start playing and after a short while it starts to rank you. This is where we start matching you with people of like skill. Hopefully someone new to the game won't be matched up against a true master.†Rafacz continues on how they try to 'control players' from being offensive: "The ability to report players for offensive language, offensive emblems, all of that will be in place. There's a certain extent to which we hope people will be able to police themselves, and there's no way we can personally account for bad apples, so we try and give people the tools to help people help themselves.†"We're trying to make sure people are focusing toward a more co-operative style of game.†SOURCE: Kotaku

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever (it's been 3 days) and miss it. There's no doubt I'm addicted to getting all the crap swimming in my brain out. When I don't I feel like I'm weighed down, if that makes sense.
Anyway, I thought I'd do a classic brain dump. It always helps me feel better.
The gym job is going great! Honestly, I'm having a blast. I love the tangibleness of it. I'm building a kids space, rearranging office furniture to build a reception area and just making general tweaks based on what members have asked for. I love responding to the potential member emails and following up with folks. I love helping members and basically just managing the day-to-day stuff. Oh! And of course the social media channels, you guys know I love that! I've been having fun sharing the personality of the gym on IG and Facebook.
However, the flip side is, I'm exhausted! By the time I get the kids to bed my eyes are closing. This comic pretty much sums it up perfectly.
That's me. Every night.
In a way it's a good thing. I'm feeling productive and I love "doing" but I also can see where this will lead to burnout. I just need to find a new flow. I will. I always do.
Let's see… what else is happening?
I finally carved out a few minutes to post on GreenLiteBites. I've been making a batch of Banana Oat Cups for the kids almost weekly so I figured it was about time to share my new recipe which the kids love! I also made a new chili idea last night with turkey, collards and pinto beans that BOTH KIDS ATE. I nearly fell off my chair. I'm hoping to share that story on GreenLiteBites in the next few days.
There has been ZERO activity over on my poor travel blog. However, I am in my end-of-the-year vacation planning phase. I've decided (with The Husband's blessing for a change — he's finally seen the travel light!) to let a handful of trips yearly be a financial priority, after bills and basics are covered of course. We can't afford to do all the trips that I wanted to next year but we found some compromises to swing a few key ones. My plan is to carve out some time to blog about this planning phase. It will help me wrap my head around everything anyway.
In the #wcywyc universe things are going well. Every couple of days I'll get an email that says our ranking jumped on Amazon, which basically means we sold a few copies. I haven't been as active with the hashtag but that's only because I haven't been that active on social media as a whole. I find my energy for personal social updates decreases now that I post for the gym. That said, I love checking in on the hashtag every few days and seeing new people sharing. It always makes me smile. We also posted a podcast this week — FINALLY!
A few weeks ago Lose It! reached out to me about a campaign they are running called #MyDayMyWay. It sounded much like #wycwyc so I asked if I could send them a copy of the book. They agreed and loved it! So I hope to be working with them on some cross-promotion. I've historically been a MyFitnessPal girl for food journaling but I'm giving Lose It! a run this week to check it out. I'll share my insights in a few days.
Speaking of, this is my food journal so far today for What I Ate Wednesday:
Notice the notes section. I love that!
There's quite a few things I like about it. The funny thing is when I set up my Lose It! account it asked me my goal weight and it occurred to me: I haven't stepped on nor thought about the scale in weeks? months? A year?
Honestly, I don't know!
I know not everyone agrees but I think that's an AMAZING thing. I feel "cured" in a strange way. Pulling off that scale band aid was what I needed to move on for sure. It's been two years since I stopped weighing myself regularly and I don't miss it. I'm as active as ever, eating better than ever and I feel confident — what I always wanted — and strong.
I not only feel strong but I feel like I'm getting stronger every day.
And that makes me happy.
That's it from me on this midday brain dump. I have to run anyway. It's almost time for school bus pick-up!

An in-depth biography of the towering 20th-century Chinese military and political figure who led the government, first on the mainland and then in exile in Taiwan, from the acclaimed New Yorker correspondent who lived in China when he was head of state.
In 1911, 24-year-old Chiang Kai-shek was an obscure Chinese student completing his military training in Japan, the only country in the Far East with a modern army. By 1928, the soldier who no one believed would ever amount to anything had achieved world fame as the leader who broke with Russia and released the newly formed Republic of China from Communist control.
Emily Hahn's eye-opening book examines Chiang's friendship with revolutionary Sun Yat-sen and chronicles his marriage to the glamorous, American-educated Soong May-ling, who converted him to Christianity and helped him enact social reforms.
As the leader of the Nationalist Party, Chiang led China for over two decades: from 1927 through the Japanese invasion, World War II, and the civil war that ended with a Communist victory in 1949. After defeat, he retreated with his government to Taiwan, where he continued to lead as president of the exiled Republic of China until his death in 1975. Famous for forging a new nation out of the chaos of warlordism, he was an Allied leader during the Second World War only to end up scorned as an unenlightened dictator at the end of his life.
Casting a critical eye on Sino-American relations, Hahn sheds new light on this complex leader who was one of the most important global political figures of the last century.

Oversimplified, Unrealistic, More Like a promo
Very oversimplified narrative. Chiang is presented as a person of noble intents, with his nation as his main reason to exist, and that does everything to protect and bring justice and prosperity.
I have read a good bit about Chiang in other highly well source books. Also, politicians, and political circumstances are not that simple.
I should have researched the author before getting the book. She was in with the "China Lobby" to begin with.
The reading of the book is very good. Great narrator.

After Marshall's big 79-61 win over Tulsa, Marshall junior guard DeAndre Kane talked about his Thundering Herd's recent play and about Marshall head coach Tom Herrion.
While the Herd snapped its three-game losing streak on Wednesday vs. the Golden Hurricane, Kane was a little upset with the way certain members of them media were treating Herrion in the papers.
Kane said that there was no one to blame for the Herd's play except for the players.
He defended coach Herrion saying he created great game plans and had his team prepared during the Herd's recent skid.
But in the end, it was the players that weren't focused.
Marshall will try to make it two straight when it (8-8) travels to UTEP (7-8) for Saturday's first C-USA road game.
