I get it. You feel guilty for how Nolan turned out. Because you left him with a brain damaged, (recovered?) crack addict mother, and you didn't fight for him.
But that doesn't mean you can make up for it with my kid.
You are a part time dad, every other weekend, and even then you aren't a dad because you expect me to do it for you. I am not his mother and I cannot undo any of the damage that's been done to him, just like you can't undo any of the damage that's been done to me or Dyson... but my son is not your chance for a do over.
He is my son. And you need to stop trying to be something he doesn't need, because one day, he will resent you for it.
I am already starting to.
You don't have to agree with my parenting style, but you need to respect it. I'm not abusing him, or neglecting him in any way, but sometimes, I think you feel that I am worse of a mother than you ex wife is to your son, and she almost killed him with crack.
I do not understand your way of thinking. And I never will. But if you ever actually want to get married, you need to learn how to keep your mouth shut.

In TIBCO, we use Global Variables to store certain variable data which we can configure at runtime while deploying our applications. Global variables are accessible in all the processes in a TIBCO BW project. While adding a new Global Variable in TIBCO, we can have following types available:
- String
- Integer
- Boolean
- Password
Variables stored as type Password in Global variables have a problem associated with them that they are not directly accessible inside TIBCO BW process under $_globalvariables.
In this TIBCO tutorial, I will explain step by step how you can use Java Code activity inside your business process to get password data and then use it in your BW process.
Step 1: Create a Global Variable of Type Password
In your BW project, go to Global Variables and using the Pencil Icon, create a new Global Variable and set its type as "Password". In this example case, I have created a password type GV with the name MyPassword. I have set its value "ajmal" which is not visible in the below screenshot as TIBCO is only showing it as password data.
Step 2: Create Process and Use Java Code Activity to get the password data:
Create a new TIBCO BW process GetPassword. In this process, we will use Java Code activity. In Java Code configuration, I have added a new Output Parameter to which Global Variable value will be saved while using Java code.
In the Code, write the following Java Code to get the value of password Global Variable:
Now Press Compile Button. As you can see in below screenshot, code has compiled successfully.
As we are using myVar variable which we created as Output Parameter, we can see in the Output tab that Java Code activity will give its output in this variable once it is run.
Step 3: Test The Process to Get Global Variable Password Value:
Now validate the process to make sure there is no error. Once validated successfully, we are good to go to test the process. Load the process in the designer tester. As you can see in below screenshot, code has run correctly and Java Code has successfully retrieved Password value from the global password type variable. The value is same that was set while creating the global variable.

Printing Press Operator
Save your shop time and money by inspecting your printers.
A check is a bit like an IOU. It contains information about who owes the money, whom that money is owed to, where the money should come from, and where the money should go. Computers called proofing machines stamp that information on the checks. As a Proof Operator, you run that machine and bundle checks for collection.
First, Proof Operators sort the checks into bundles by bank. You then take one check from one bundle and place it into the proofing machine. Proof Operators enter the amount written on the check into the machine, and then press a button. The amount that you typed is then stamped on the back of the check, and the check is canceled.
You do this over and over until you've gone through the entire bundle. The machine tallies the amount of money you've entered for that bundle, then you add up the checks by hand to make sure you've done your work accurately. After that, you tie the bundle together and send it to the other bank for processing.
In some banks, proofing machines contain scanners that read the amount of the check automatically. You'll have much less typing to do if you use these machines, but you'll be required to check the machine's math, and you may find errors to correct from time to time.
Aside from number crunching, you perform maintenance tasks on your machine as well, changing its ink and tape frequently to make sure it's ready for your workload. Since you don't work directly with customers, you can dress casually, which means you're not likely to get ink on your best suit.

The BTN's Debacle Of A Spring Game Telecast
Unedited. Seriously.
My stomach gave a decidedly strong vote against my attending Saturday's Spring Game, so in lieu of watching from the press box I took in the Big Ten Network's telecast. This may have been less informative than skipping the Spring Game altogether.
Granted, it's difficult to make a glorified practice very interesting, even for Michigan die-hards. That said, the BTN totally missed the mark with their broadcast, failing the viewers in almost every regard to a comical extent.
Know Your Audience (Or: Show The Dang Play)
Let's take a look at some catching drills...
...or not, I guess.
Instead of showing or explaining the first hour of drill after drill, the network decided to show a whole lot of stuff like the video above: completely useless angles with a heavy dose of cutaways to coaches, current players the announcers happened to be discussing—even if they were just standing around—and former players on the sideline.* Click on those GIFs. It's as if an ADHD-stricken toddler hit buttons at random in the control booth.
Even when the cameras stayed focused on the field, it was obvious the BTN director had no idea what he was watching, which seems like it should be a prerequisite for directing a football telecast. If I had to boil down the BTN's effort into one video, it's this one:
In that same vein, check out this spectacular run by Justice Hayes.
The director also filled time with sideline interviews with Charles Woodson and Desmond Howard, two players who are instantly recognizable to any college football fan who's graduated elementary school. That didn't stop the BTN cameras from staying locked on the interviewees while actual football happened on the field.
We know what Michigan's last two Heisman winners look like, and yes, it's possible to play audio of an interview without actually showing video of the interview. This may come as a shock to some, namely whomever was in charge of this broadcast.
The actual scrimmage stuff wasn't much better, though they at least caught most of the plays on camera. Well, one camera, at least. Jourdan Lewis's impressive interception of Devin Gardner on the first play got one replay angle—a slow-motion version of the original broadcast angle, which failed to show anything in the secondary until Lewis caught the ball.
If you watched this for the purpose of learning about the team, you have my sympathy. If you watched this for any other purpose, you've made me very confused.
"People in charge of things are just in charge of them for no reason" tag deployed with vigor. Well done, BTN director.
*The GIF at the top of the post features the back of Charles Woodson's head, if you can't tell, which is quite understandable.
[Hit THE JUMP for the only quote Doug Karsch needs to make his case for the vacant play-by-play spot, the quarterback "controversy" in one highlight package, and the end of the scrimmage that wasn't actually the end of the scrimmage.]
Spring Stuff: Offense
Hoke says Michigan really didn't find its top five offensive linemen this spring. And really isn't close to finding them either.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) April 5, 2014
WELP. In a word, Michigan's offense was ominous. It was ominous—worse than that—in Hoke's first year, though, and that worked out okay as long as Al Borges wasn't trying to make Denard Robinson into a pocket passer. Standard disclaimer about information value of spring.
That stated, yeesh. We knew the situation at tackle was going to be iffy, especially with Magnuson out. Having Mason Cole as the first option at the most important spot on the line was beyond those expectations. Meanwhile, Michigan is prepping the only remaining guy who started every game last year (Graham Glasgow) at right tackle, which they'll say is just precautionary but speaks of some trepidation about Ben Braden. I do not want there to be trepidation about Ben Braden.
Hoke did not mince words when asked if they thought they'd found their best five:
"I don't know if we can say that, honestly," Hoke said. "I know I can't.
"So, I guess the answer is no."
Are the Wolverines even close, really, to identifying the best five?
"No," Hoke said. "Not yet."
That was apparent on the field, where runs generally got to the line of scrimmage (hooray!) and no further (mutter). Pass protection was close to nonexistent. It was what everyone expected, which was bad. They've got five months to figure it out, whereupon they probably won't figure it out. Digging out of a hole as big as Michigan dug last year is a two-year operation.
Nussmeier and new protégé [Bryan Fuller]
Quarterbacking. Gardner was just two of ten, but Morris was hardly better. Gardner's interception was at least at his receiver; Morris threw one directly into Lewis's chest. In the aftermath there were the usual quotes about how it's an open competition, but, yeah, when the Big Ten Network's main Morris highlight is a pass thrown behind the line of scrimmage that guy isn't displacing a quarterback who averaged 8.6 YPA last year and can run.
Neither quarterback was helped by the pass protection, which forced them to move around and let Michigan's secondary recover. Gardner's move and re-set on one throw allowed Jarrod Wilson to get over to Canteen on a corner route, for example. We have a ton of Gardner data from a year and a half as the starting quarterback. One spring outing isn't going to move the needle.
Speight didn't do much; Bellomy didn't look better than he did against Nebraska.
Hayes should be a legit option. [Fuller]
Tailbacking. On the few runs on which tailbacks had an opportunity to do something notable it was usually Justice Hayes doing the notable thing. He had a couple of quality cuts in tight areas that got him a nice chunk. Derrick Green had one bounce outside on which he seemed quicker than last year but still not particularly quick; De'Veon Smith also turned in a leg-churning run.
They're all about even, it seems. Michigan will cycle through them looking for one to break out. That's a tough ask given the line. It's platoon time. Michigan still seems to insist that anyone who does not resemble a moose must be relegated to third downs:
"Right now, if we're not in a third down situation, it's De'Veon and Derrick. And then Justice if we get into third down."
There's no reason that Hayes shouldn't be given a look as the feature back after last year's lack of production all around and his evident ability. He was no slouch as a recruit, and being able to pick through traffic is a nice skill to have. You get the impression that Hoke would ride David Underwood for years before even considering Mike Hart. Size isn't everything. Ask the Kansas State team that just eviscerated you with a 5'8" tailback and 5'11" wide receiver.
It's also time for Fred Jackson to preach the simplicity line and throw shade on Al Borges:
"Guys are more consistent now with their reads, going from point A to point B with protections," Michigan running backs coach Fred Jackson said last week on WTKA-AM in Ann Arbor. "By not having a ton of protections and a ton of different runs, it allows the guys to be more consistent in what they're doing."
/waves tiny flag
Of course, the main problem with the blitz pickups last year was not so much the tailback going to the wrong spot but what happened when he met the blitzer. That's on Jackson, not Borges. The thing about not doing every possible thing is great—I've heard that Michigan had 13 different protection schemes last year. 13!
MOS EISLEY FTW [Eric Upchurch]
Something about a wretched hive of scum and villainy I can't quite figure out. Freddy Canteen went from freshman to Manningham in the space of 15 practices, starting the day opposite Devin Funchess, making the one deep catch of the scrimmage session, and smoking Blake Countess over the top on another pass that Gardner threw short. Countess caught up; it was still reminiscent of 86.
Almost. [Upchurch]
Also reminiscent of 86, at least as a freshman: people screaming at Canteen about where to line up pre-snap. There was one memorable play in Manningham's freshman year where Fred Jackson was having a conniption fit on the sideline trying to get Manningham to relocate himself; Manningham did not and scored a touchdown anyway. Canteen dredged that memory up on Saturday.
Spring depth etc., but passing Jehu Chesson after a promising freshman year from him is a real thing. The tea leaves here suggest Canteen is the real deal—Michigan does not need a WR savior and has a veritable avalanche of bodies they can put on the outside. Canteen rocketed past last year's WR class and Chesson in 15 practices. It would be easy for Michigan to talk him up and throw him in the slot; instead they appear to be prepping him for a major role on the outside.
"I've been at slot and outside receiver, (I'm comfortable) at both, but I'll play probably more outside," Canteen said. "(I want to be a playmaker), to be honest. I just want to make plays."
Darboh and Chesson will also figure in; with Funchess that gives Michigan four guys with production or hype or both to their name. They're suddenly flush. With York and Dukes—who made a nice diving catch—also available, it seems like Drake Harris and Moe Ways should redshirt.
Let's think about the guy like a football player instead of a traveling circus. I can only assume the light deployment of Dennis Norfleet was for cackling-about-your-mad-plan-in-your-underground-lair reasons. It was encouraging to see them throw an actual route his way, a wheel on which Jourdan Lewis took an unnecessary pass interference flag on an overthrown ball. I support the integration of Dennis Norfleet into the base offense instead of having a completely separate Norfleet offense that always results in him getting the ball going laterally.
Hooray for efficiency. One of the most disconcerting things about Michigan's spring activity is how much standing around there is. For many, they're setting a countable hour on fire. This is apparently not how it works behind closed doors:
"Practices are really fast, we get a lot of reps," Gardner said. "This was probably the fastest practice I've ever been a part of."
There's been plenty of talk about the overall pace Nussmeier -- Michigan's first-year offensive coordinator -- works with in practice, and the overall level of tempo he chooses to play with during games.
Practices are quick. When a play ends, the next group -- according to players -- is expected to be out of the huddle and ready to snap the ball for the next rep. That concept is a simple one: It creates more reps, and for a young team, the more reps the better.
For any team, really. And that should serve Michigan well when they want to change the tempo, something Borges teams were mind-bendingly awful at. Here's a manna from heaven quote:
"I think the biggest thing, you always want to be able to control the tempo on offense -- whether that's to speed the game up or slow the game down," Nussmeier said during an interview with WTKA-AM 1050 in Ann Arbor on Thursday. "We practice at a fast tempo for a lot of reasons. One, it forces our guys to play fast and focus and always concentrate.
"And it also allows us to pick the tempo of the game up (if we need to)."
Random Mone quote I missed yesterday. This is an epic nonquote.
"I'm just having fun, being blessed," he said. "Just having fun playing the game is what I think my teammates have noticed. My enthusiasm is the main thing I bring to the field."
Our THREE weapons are having fun, being blessed, and having enthusiasm!
Complaining Section
The experience of being at the spring game was not a pleasant one. Brandon further pushed the limits of his promise not to put advertising in Michigan Stadium (a promise he's already broken in a dozen different ways) with large videoboard ads for Comcast and Allstate. There was also some dude kicking a field goal sponsored by PNC. Dude is just itching to turn Michigan's gameday experience into OSU or MSU where the scoreboard looks like a NASCAR driver's jumpsuit and each play is brought to you by Depends Adult Undergarments.
More maddening was the constant—and I mean constant—wedding DJ music, which only dropped out for brief periods in which the band was suffered to play. By the end of the day it appeared like the band just said "screw it, we're playing" and went about fifteen minutes straight. This was a merciful relief.
The music combined with the punting drill section of the day was typical Michigan at this point: we'll be shitty to you, fans, but here is this awesome guitar riff! Hunter Lochmann apparently believes that any deficit can be obscured by music. If things go poorly this season expect them to try two songs at once for the entirety of the Penn State game. One of them will be Phil Collins, because that's the soul of football.
The contrast between the NCAA tournament regional the week before and the spring game could not have been greater. The tournament is a great event the NCAA gets out of the way of. Michigan has a crappy event they try to dress up. Hoke's disregard for the fanbase hurts their ability to make it a non-crappy event, of course. Michigan remain focused on one thing and one thing only: strip-mining revenue from the banks of fan loyalty like it is an infinite resource.
Any things they do that are actually fan-friendly, like bringing in a slightly less rank standard of nonconference opponent, are because they have reached the limit of their ability to strip-mine. Michigan reminded fans in attendance to renew their season tickets—an announcement that never needed to be made before.
It would be one thing if the people making these decisions did anything but ape whoever their counterparts are in the ECHL. They have no concept of forming an identity to rally around. They just have spreadsheets.
27 Tickets To Team 135: Post-Spring Edition
What is this? Folks who cover the USMNT drop lists like this projecting the 23 guys who end up on the next World Cup team. I have appropriated it. Regarding the number of tickets: 22 starters on offense and defense + 2 kickers + nickelback + FLEX TE + fullback.
THIS IS THE POST-SPRING UPDATE: changes! More than I'd like, actually. We've shifted some positions around with the over move and tried to pick through spring hype versus spring hope. Also "he played for 'Bama" hype versus hope.
1. QB Devin Gardner, Sr.* [Last time: 1]
No. No, there is not a quarterback controversy or competition or anything of the sort. No, the spring game means nothing in this regard. For the love of pants, please stop talking about this.
2. MLB Jake Ryan, Sr.* [ Last time: 2]
Shift to over defense kind of makes Ryan a man without a country, so they're going to try to make his country MLB. Skepticism severe around these parts, but that doesn't mean he's going to drop out of the starting lineup. Worst case he ends up playing SAM or DE or something. He'll be on the field. Possibly wondering what he should be doing.
3. WR Devin Funchess, Jr. [Last time: 3]
Spring start was no surprise. Has been officially confirmed a wide receiver forever and ever amen. Matchup nightmare should be frequent motion guy to discombobulate defenses, leap over them to make catches, possibly wiggle a bit in endzone. Fade this man, please. I mean seriously throw him a fade like every sixth play.
4. S Jarrod Wilson, Jr. [Last time: 4]
One look at the depth chart is enough to tell you he was too low last time. Michigan's only experienced safety, only upperclass safety, only guy who stayed back for most of the spring game as others were tasked with SS duties. He's going to start.
5. WDE Frank Clark, Sr. [Last time: 7]
Surprising second-team ABT selection last year did round into a pretty good player by year's end. Much better against the run and capable of providing some pass rush, which was more than anyone else could say. On the cusp of serious breakout.
6. WLB Desmond Morgan, Sr. [Last time: 5]
I'm sticking to my guns. Morgan is the QB of the defense, hits harder than any other LB, and saved M's ass with the athletic INT pictured against UConn. Easily capable of moving to the over's WLB slot, which features a lot of head-banging against Gs. Ignore spring depth. Morgan starts.
7. SAM James Ross, Jr. [Last time: 6]
Slides to Stevie Brown-style space SAM that operates as quasi-nickel at times. May or may not be well-suited to that, but with line looking like penetrators instead of space eaters that move seems good for him. Gets swallowed by Gs; makes quick reads.
8. SDE Brennen Beyer, Sr. [Last time: 9]
Where he needs to be technically, now needs weight. Won't star, but pressure from behind is not severe. M moved Taco Charlton to this spot, which is odd, and moved Keith Heitzman away from it. Hopes to end his career Craig Roh 2.0. Over SDE less of a DT than under, so that helps.
9. FLEX Jake Butt, So. [Last time: 10]
Tore ACL but word is that he's going to be back after a few games so we'll leave him here, and leave him high because no one else is going to be able to do the things he can. Capable receiver was also best inline blocker for M last year despite being 230 pound freshman; stardom beckons if the knee is all right.
10. NT Willie Henry, So.* [Last time: 11]
Pipkins injury forced move to nose tackle, where he languishes on fake spring depth chart. That gets five fakes out of five from this site. Hugely strong; get a sword of Pad Level +5 and he will star. Heavy rotation likely to feature Henry first off, move into Pipkins and Bryan Mone.
11. K Matt Wile, Sr. [Last Time: 12]
Gibbons graduates, leaving Wile the presumed starter at kicker. Has a bigger leg; does not have a track record of being automatic from within 42 yards give or take a shaky four-game sequence in his senior year. Will also handle kickoffs and at least pooch punting.
12. SLOT Dennis Norfleet, Jr. [Last Time: 13]
You have one job, Doug Nussmeier. Okay you've got like 50, but one of those jobs is to get to ball to this dude in space and see what happens. Was targeted on wheel route in spring game, which is fine, but seriously just try to get some cheap yards here.
13. CB Blake Countess, Jr* [Last time: 4]
Welcome to cornerback row. Generally the further down you get here the more nervous you are about the slot; in this situation it is the opposite: Michigan has so many good options that this space has bumped Jabrill Peppers in favor of…
14. NICKEL Jourdan Lewis, So. [Last time: NR]
…the sticky-fingered sophomore who started over Countess and picked off a couple passes in the spring game. Lewis was right there as a freshman and any increment was going to make him good; now suited to Michigan's press style he demands playing time, possibly from…
15. CB Raymon Taylor, Sr. [Last time: 14]
…a guy who has started for two years and turned in a number of big plays a year ago. Taylor seems most vulnerable because he has not played nickel; realistically everyone gets playing time. Oh, and Peppers. Can he play OL?
16. G Graham Glasgow, Jr* [Last time: 16]
Will miss opener after offseason driving incident. Was most recently playing RT(!), which says that Michigan is open to moving him around what with this Chad Lindsay fellow maybe arriving. Showed ability to play G last year; will be on field, but where is unknown.
17. T Erik Magnuson, So.* [Last time: 17]
Spring absence did nothing to upset presumed death lock on left tackle job since by the spring scrimmage his replacement was true freshman Mason Cole. Hopefully can get up to 300 or so pounds despite the injury; M needs more POWER anywhere they can get it.
18. C Chad Lindsay, Sr.* [Last time: at Alabama]
Visited for spring, saw… that, has ton of experience with Nussmeier, started four games for 'Bama last year. Hard to say a fifth-year transfer is a lock, but… uh… he's not coming here to play cribbage. Unless he thinks that would help.
19. P Will Hagerup, Sr.* [Last time: 27]
Still on pace to return this fall so we're moving him up from the bottom. This is so the bottom can be, like, all offensive linemen. Because that is both objective and emotional reality. Anyway, Hagerup is once again booming punts off the Glick ceiling because he has a massive leg cannon. Consistency, as always, is the bugaboo.
20. WR Freddy Canteen, Fr. [Last time: NR]
Avalanche of spring hype offset by fact he still has no idea what to do; EE helpful in that regard. Jungle beats. Quick feet, quick hands, quick person. Jungle beats. Manningham 2.0? Let's hope so. Passed Chesson to start spring but still has to hold both him and Amara Darboh off; blocking could be an issue for wisp-thin FR.
21. 3TECH Maurice Hurst, Fr*. [Last time: NR]
More prominent than Wormley/Strobel in spring, so let's give him the tentative nod in a platoon situation. Has been getting way more insider buzz than either competitor thanks to Mike Martin-esque first step; at three tech can go one on one more often.
22. TE Keith Heitzman, Jr.* [Last time: NR]
Moved immediately after bowl game and had apparently passed AJ Williams by spring. If he can block adequately will be large upgrade on that position's production from last year. Probably not useful in the receiving game; Michigan doesn't need him to be.
23. RB Justice Hayes, Jr. [Last time: NR]
Hayes leaps into this spot after taking the first and most effective snaps in the spring scrimmage. Sometimes running back is about more than who has the tree-trunkiest thighs. Ask Mike Hart. (Actually, don't. Thighs for days.) Catching out of backfield a strength Nussmeier might use.
24. S Jeremy Clark, So.* [Last time: 23]
Still giving Clark the spot here but by this point these are the spots on the depth chart at which the coaches could tell you honestly that they have no idea. Clark, Dymonte Thomas, and Hill are all in the mix, as they say, and no one has tried to climb out of the bowl yet.
25. FB/HB Joe Kerridge, Jr.* [Last Time: 24]
At this point Kerridge is a placeholder for what will be a diverse array of FB/HB back types ranging from pure FB Kerridge to FB/RB Shallman to FB/TE Hill, and then there's Sione Houma, who's kind of all of that plus amazing hair.
26. T Ben Braden, So.* [Last time: 26]
Still the presumed starter at right tackle but presence of Glasgow outside hints that Michigan may be looking at other options. Was too slow-footed to play guard; can he hold up in pass protection well enough to play tackle? Enormousness makes you hope so. Road grader if he works out.
27. G Kyle Bosch, So. [Last time: 25]
Under assumption that Lindsay comes in, Glasgow displaces one of Braden/Bosch/Kalis. Random guess here is that it's Kalis because Bosch should improve more as younger guy but your guess is as good as mine. So is Hoke's.
QB Shane Morris—Hosing hoser has cannon, occasionally uses it to throw things directly to Jourdan Lewis.
QB Wilton Speight—Navarre type wobbly in spring.
RB DeVeon Smith—occasionally looks like a promising grinder.
RB Derrick Green—lost the weight; had a nice bounce in spring game.
RB Drake Johnson—still recovering from ACL tear.
C Jack Miller—veteran presence provides options.
C Patrick Kugler—still behind Miller in spring.
G Kyle Kalis—battle for starting job will go to opening day.
G David Dawson—practiced at both tackle spots since arrival, now at guard. Likely to be one of top options should Michigan turn to bench.
T Logan Tuley-Tillman—looks part; still needs time to act it.
T Mason Cole—good for Cole that he was so prominent in spring as FR; bad for Michigan.
WR Jehu Chesson—had some promise in freshman season; punishing blocker for size.
WR Amara Darboh—still recovering from foot issue.
WR DaMario Jones—could push for some PT in slot.
NT Ondre Pipkins—hyped recruit got ACL tear at worst possible time. Could push through Henry. NT is platoon city, so not a huge distinction.
NT Bryan Mone—I've been waiting for a large Tongan DL my whole life.
SDE Henry Poggi—SDE now, still needs some time.
SDE Taco Charlton—Still adapting to new spot.
3T Tom Strobel—assume he plays SDE this year; buried as a 3T.
3T Chris Wormley—will at least platoon.
WDE Mario Ojemudia—will spot Clark.
SAM Royce Jenkins-Stone—over move very good for him as it makes his size an asset.
SAM Allen Gant—ditto Gant.
WLB Joe Bolden—nominal starter next to Ryan in spring, but has to hit/cover someone to hold that distinction.
WLB Ben Gedeon—freak athlete had some playing time late in the season.
CB Jabrill Peppers—you may have heard of this dude.
CB Channing Stribling—will be good if he just stops phasing out.
S Delano Hill—strong safety type has hitter's reputation, may be good fit w/ Wilson.
S Dymonte Thomas—burned redshirt to block that one punt; still raw.
Monday Recruitin' Dons Wizard Hat
Three New Offers
After seeing coveted four-star 2015 IN LB Josh Barajas make a surprise commitment to Penn State a couple weeks ago, Michigan didn't wait long to offer two more four-star Hoosier State linebackers: Darrin Kirkland Jr. and Asmar Bilal. Brandon has the full rundown on both of those offers, as well as a third that went out over the weekend to 2016 WI OT Ben Bredeson, who's expected to be one of the top-ranked linemen in his class.
While the recruitments of Bilal and (especially) Bredeson should take a while to play out, Kirkland plans to announce his decision on May 30th, and his top group is murky; Penn State and Tennessee appear to stand out along with Michigan among schools that have offered him, and his 247 predictions are all over the place. Kirkland told Brandon he may make another trip to Ann Arbor before his decision. If he does, I like Michigan's chances of landing him; if not, it's quite possible James Franklin continues to tear up the recruiting scene.

Spring Stuff: Defense
The spring game-type-substance maintained its downward importance trajectory, but as it's the last glimpse of one of the big three sports we'll have until fall we'll talk about it all the same. This year's edition further expanded the punting-drills-and-standing-around section of the practice, so observations are necessarily light on the ground.
It's bad when Doug Karsch can't keep the sarcasm out of his voice.
This video is in Michigan's traditional zoom-o-vision, so you can't actually tell what Lewis did to get in the position he's in for the first interception.
The tone. Last year's "I like this team" has been replaced.
"We're doing a lot of good things, but we're not near good enough as a team to win games in the fourth quarter, which we didn't do (last season), and play on the road," said Hoke, entering his fourth season. "We're a long way from being any good."
That reflects the reality of the program.
Depth chart grain of salt reminder. Spring is a season for motivational devices and experiments and therefore places on the depth chart should be regarded as vague indicators more than anything else. Case in point: Graham Glasgow was your second-team right tackle.
Lewis is in your grill yo [Bryan Fuller]
Very aggressive /teddyKGB. Every offseason for a team without an elite defense features coaches promising increased aggression, whereupon most of them quietly drop that promise when the season rolls around and it turns out that for Defense X being super aggressive is a good way to give up quick touchdowns. The cycle repeats the next offseason.
Michigan is promising aggression, and Mattison is putting his cornerbacks where his mouth is. Lewis:
"It's huge, just getting hands on guys and trying to intimidate them," Lewis said. "That's our key point right there -- being physical. That's what (defensive coordinator Greg) Mattison is always talking about, being a physical defense."
They spent most of the scrimmage session in the grills of Michigan wide receivers, playing MSU-style bump and clutch and grab and run. Word from the coaching clinic is that Michigan is adjusting to the way the game has been called of late. Lewis again:
"He said 'be physical'," Lewis said. "But he doesn't care if it's great defense and we get a penalty."
This was highly effective when not drawing two flags on Lewis—the second a dubious one—or that one time the offense got Freddy Canteen lost on a deep corner route. Everything else was contested, and when the ball got to the receiver the corners were making a play on it.
Lewis looked terrific after a spring in which inside practice buzz has heralded him as a major comer; hell, he looked terrific most of last year except for the bit where the opposing quarterback regularly put the ball in the six-inch window perfect coverage provides. In this game he had two interceptions and two flags along with other instances where his presence forced drops or tough catches. The first interception came on the first play of the scrimmage (0:45 above).
The video doesn't do it justice since it kind of looks like Lewis is coming over from a zone. That was pure press man coverage on which he did the one thing the gypsy promised him he'd never do: make a play on the ball after achieving his position.
Is he supplanting? I don't know, man. Usually two returning starters who had the number of excellent interceptions Taylor and Countess did have impregnable positions on the depth chart. This situation is not usual, though, as those guys didn't have impregnable positions even as they were doing that—Taylor was yanked from the starting lineup briefly, even. And the last impression Michigan's coaches have is both guys getting smoked by Tyler Lockett, an impression that Countess might have reinforced when Canteen beat him over the top Manningham-style. (Gardner left the throw short and Countess recovered.)
At the very least the competition here is a real one, unlike, say, quarterback. And corner is a position at which a lot of players will see the field. Lewis has at least claimed a spot in Michigan's nickel package, which is half your snaps these days. Even when not in nickel, Michigan rotated last year and they'll rotate this year. It's likely that Lewis gets as many snaps as the starters whether he is one on paper or not, and then you've got Stribling and Peppers. Delonte Hollowell is hanging around, delivering the occasional hard shot on the unsuspecting.
If the spring game indicates one thing, it's that cornerback is better-stocked than it's been in a long-time. Michigan doesn't have a Woodson (at least until fall, anyway), but I can say without hesitation that I'm more comfortable with Michigan's fifth corner than I usually am with their third. Remember Football Armageddon, when Michigan decided covering a first-round NFL draft pick with Chris Graham was their best option? Yeah. Not so much this year.
Wilson got over the top on a late throw [Bryan Fuller]
Aaaand safety. Much less clarity there, and very little to go on from the game-type section. Michigan spent much of the day rolling whoever wasn't Jarrod Wilson to the line of scrimmage to further their aggression goals, whereupon he would cover a fullback or something or watch as a run play did not get to him.
Wilson did have one nice PBU on a looping ball over the top. The ball was late thanks to some pressure that forced Gardner to roll around in the pocket, but that's the kind of ball a safety can make a play on and the play was made.
As far as depth chart stuff goes there was zero clarity. If you put a gun to my head I'd say Delano Hill was slightly preferred. And then I would say "but…" and you would shoot me. Let's not do this gun to the head thing when talking about Michigan's safeties.
The Jake Ryan experiment. First off, the admittedly not-particularly-meaningful spring depth chart gives me the willies. Ryan at MLB, Morgan second-string behind him, Bolden starting, Ross running on the second team at new tinySAM. I am full of the willies.
It's hard to tell much about linebackers in spring, harder yet when the offensive line they're up against is barely releasing to the second level*. On plays where I watched Jake Ryan he looked okay. He's kind of a long, upright guy, so when blockers get into him he tends to let them under him. On the edge he would just juke a guy and explode past him; in the middle you have to take the block on because picking the wrong side of the guy means you just blew your run fit.
I'm not sure where he fits in an over defense, though, so if you're going to make a shift he has to go somewhere.
Meanwhile, Joe Bolden's ample playing time has been mysterious to me. Linebacker remains the hardest position for me to have a Serious Opinion about because there's just so much that goes into it, but the things that Bolden seemed to be screwing up were really obvious things like not being anywhere near your pass drop. Meanwhile when it comes to hitting people in the face and making them stop going forward there is no comparison between Bolden, who has been a drag-you-down tackler to date, and Desmond Morgan, who thumps you and then you stop moving. Michigan's head coach says "toughness" every other word, and Morgan is much closer to that on the field than Bolden.
As a result I've promised to eat a lemon on the internet if Bolden starts the opener over Morgan. The rules: Morgan has to be healthy, Bolden has to start, and Morgan cannot start.
*[Michigan had a great deal of uninspiring runs of 1-3 yards but few TFLs except that one time they put Henry in against the third team OL. This was in large part because the offensive line was doing its damndest to not repeat the mistakes of last year. Instead of popping off opposing DL immediately, they were maintaining doubles longer than you really should. This made life at LB relatively easy and thus many plays where a tailback crosses the line of scrimmage and encounters a pile of men.]
Poggi SDE, Hurst 3-tech, Henry nose on a second or third unit
Line ups and downs. Here the limitations of spring practice overwhelm. Michigan's first-team offensive line read Cole-Bosch-Miller-Kalis-Braden; the second team featured a left tackle with an enormous cast on his hand. Grain of salt, grain of salt, grain of salt.
Anyway, Michigan had a few guys that looked impressive: Bryan Mone entered the backfield with regularity and Maurice Hurst Jr flashed the first step that was the bulk of his recruiting profile. That they've pushed Henry down the depth chart is an excellent sign even if that particular arrangement is clearly motivational after Henry established himself a legit Big Ten player a year ago. Brennen Beyer displayed an excellent ability to discard… uh… true freshman Mason Cole on a number of snaps. Beyer has always been an active hands guy; the question with him is his ability to hold up against 330 pound trucks. A matchup with Cole is not going to answer that.
Michigan got push up the middle of the pocket for large chunks of the scrimmages and while they weren't penetrating on run plays with regularity, see the aside above. When Michigan's options were limited in the half-line drills, they ended up in the backfield more often than not. It seemed like 80% of those runs cut back behind the center, which is a win for the DL in that drill.
As for guys who had bad snaps we will extrapolate much more from than is reasonable: at 2:55 in the video above Derrick Green gets one of Michigan's better runs on the day by bouncing outside; that is there because Glasgow locked up with and drove Henry Poggi well off the ball. Tom Strobel got easily handled on a successful Hayes power play at 2:25; a linebacker wearing a number in the 40s also picked the wrong hole. Also… does anyone know where Chris Wormley was? I don't recall seeing him; I googled to see if anyone had mentioned anything was up with him and came up empty, so I assume he was there but rather anonymous.
I have to punt on other defensive end observations, as I was focusing on the linebackers and secondary for much of the day.
Tentative Takeaways
- They're trying to make good on the promise to be aggressive.
- The cornerback depth is terrific and the top end should be quite good.
- Michigan has a solid young core at DT; DE is more uncertain.
- Linebackers… ask again later.
A Trio Of New Offers
The coaching staff was very busy this weekend with all of the spring game festivities, a list of tasks that included handing out three new offers. Asmar Bilal and Darrin Kirkland Jr. are both "heat-seeking missile-type" linebackers from Indiana. They both received offers on the heels of a Josh Barajas commitment to Penn State. The coaches also delivered an offer to 2016 prospect Ben Bredeson, a big-time offensive lineman from the land of cheese.
Name: Darrin Kirkland Jr.
Position: Inside Linebacker
Ht/Wt: 6'2" / 225 lbs.
Location: Lawrence Central – Indianapolis, IN (2015)
Offers: Akron, Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, North Carolina, NC State, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, Toledo, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin
Rating: ★★★★ .9191 (247 Composite)
Ranking: #201 NAT / #6 ILB (247 Composite)
Darrin Kirkland Jr. has unofficially visited Michigan multiple times and this weekend, while not on campus, he finally received an offer. On film Kirkland Jr. is a magnet to the football and gets to it in a hurry. He plays with high energy and athleticism as well as good fundamentals.
With the frequency that Kirkland has visited Michigan it's clear he is fond of the Wolverines and he confirmed that to me.
Michigan is just a great school with great tradition. I'm going to be announcing my top 8 schools in the next couple of weeks and I think Michigan will definitely make that cut.
Once his top group is announce we won't have to wait long to find out who his top school overall is.
I'm thinking about taking another unofficial visit to Michigan soon before I make my decision on May 30th.
When/if Kirkland Jr. takes another visit to Michigan I will catch up with him again to gauge where his interest level is as he nears a decision.
5 – Trending Blue
4 – Solidly in a top 2-3
3 – Contender in a top 3-7
2 – Among large (8-15) group under consideration
1 – Let's see if he visits before we talk
0 – Passing interest or none
Kirkland wouldn't come right out and say who his leader was but it very well could be Michigan. Without being able to nail that down for sure I'd say Michigan is solidly in a top 2-3. If he does take another trip to Ann Arbor between now and May 30 it would seem that Michigan has as good a chance as anyone to land him.
Name: Asmar Bilal
Position: Inside Linebacker
Ht/Wt: 6'3" / 205 lbs.
Location: Ben Davis – Indianapolis, IN (2015)
Offers: Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, NC State, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Western Michigan, Wisconsin
Rating: ★★★★ .9121 (247 Composite)
Ranking: #224 NAT / #7 ILB (247 Composite)
Asmar Bilal visited Ann Arbor back in February and while he wasn't on hand this weekend for the spring events he was still offered by the coaching staff. I asked him to recall his thoughts from his February visit now that he has an offer and could realistically consider Michigan. Bilal was very excited to receive the offer and Michigan seems to be in good shape with him right now.
I just remember how the stadium was so huge. Michigan has a great coaching staff too. I like how they really expressed how getting a degree at a place like Michigan is really significant. They talked about how it can set you up for life after college just in case I don't play football beyond college.
The coaching staff has consistently been able to connect with recruits on a level beyond the football field. That sentiment was obviously true with Bilal as well, but he wasn't ready to call Michigan a leader for him just yet.
I can't exactly say Michigan is my leader. There's a lot of great schools that have offered me. I'm going to take them all into consideration to see what best fits me. Michigan is in my top group but I haven't really sorted them yet. For now I'll just say that they're up near the top.
Bilal said that he wasn't planning on releasing any sort of top group anytime soon, but the fact that he says Michigan is at "the top" leads me to believe they'll be a factor throughout. Bilal told me that he'd like to visit Michigan again whenever he can arrange it and also would like to take an official sometime during the fall.
5 – Trending Blue
4 – Solidly in a top 2-3
3 – Contender in a top 3-7
2 – Among large (8-15) group under consideration
1 – Let's see if he visits before we talk
0 – Passing interest or none
Bilal does have a lot of solid offers but I do believe Michigan will be firmly in the mix for him. Notre Dame recruits Indianapolis well and his crystal ball currently predicts him to wind up in South Bend. A return unofficial visit along with an official visit during the season would be big for Michigan.
Name: Ben Bredeson
Position: Offensive Tackle
Ht/Wt: 6'5" / 275 lbs.
Location: Arrowhead – Hartland, WI (2016)
Offers: Iowa State, Michigan, Tennessee, Wisconsin
Rating: N/A
Ranking: N/A
The coaching staff doled out just the 16th offer for the 2016 class over the weekend, offering Ben Bredeson during his first visit to Ann Arbor. Bredeson, a Wisconsin native, has already reeled in an offer from the offensive linemen factory that is The University of Wisconsin.
I actually talked to Ben on Wednesday and he said he wasn't really sure if Michigan was that interested in him or not. Clearly they are.
I talked to Coach Singletary and he told me that they wanted to get me out there as quickly as possible and I had this weekend free so I decided to head to Ann Arbor for the Spring Game. I'm not really sure if an offer is coming. I'd be happy if one did because Michigan is such a great school. I'm not necessarily expecting one though.
Obviously an offer did come and Bredeson was very happy about it.
Well I was really hoping it would happen. I talked to Coach Hoke in his offic for a while and he offered me while we were in there. It wasn't a big dramatic thing. He was just very relaxed about it and told me that I had an offer to play at Michigan.
Being a Wisconsin native, it seems that the Badgers might be hard to beat out, which may be true, but Bredeson seems to have a genuine liking for Michigan as well.
I'm somewhat of Badger fan, I mean yeah I grew up watching them my whole life. I've always had a great respect for Michigan though. I've always like them too so I have a very high interest level in them. I don't have a leader right now but Michigan is definitely up there. The visit was cool and the stadium was unbelievable. I also like the way that the coaches were just so personable with everyone.
5 – Trending Blue
4 – Solidly in a top 2-3
3 – Contender in a top 3-7
2 – Among large (8-15) group under consideration
1 – Let's see if he visits before we talk
0 – Passing interest or none
It's really early for Bredeson and his offer total is low, but that's not going to last long. He has a spectacular build already and could easily get to a healthy 315-320 at the next level. Being from Wisconsin it's hard to see the Badgers not landing him but once his offer list swells anything becomes possible. Michigan is in on him early and by default is part of a top 4, but I think Michigan could stay in that "moderately interested" zone for a while until he takes some more visits and really starts focusing in on his recruitment. At that point it will depend on how aggressively Michigan pursues him and where his interests lie as he starts to form opinions on different schools.

London, Uk (PressExposure) July 29, 2009 -- On Saturday 25 July, The Independent launched its Summer Through The Lens photography contest, pitching amateur and professional photographers against each other using the latest Digital SLR camera from Sony, the a380.
"Over the next four weeks we'll see how photographers from both sides of the fence get on given a level playing field and the latest a380 DSLR from Sony to play with across a variety of assignments," says a spokesperson. "The aim of the game is to see how well camera and photographer cope with the brief, exploring the idea that, given the best equipment, the amateur can deliver shots aspiring to a quality the professional turns out on a daily basis."
Taking part in the challenge ( http://www.independent.co.uk/alpha ) will be professional photographers André Lichtenberg, Jamie Baker, Adam Lawrence and Chris Lobina; and amateur photographers Alex Ortiz, David Bushell, Lisa Carey and Will Clark. Each week a selection of anonymous images will be presented from the amateur and their professional counterpart. Users will be asked to vote on which photographer they think is the professional, and will automatically be entered into a draw to win one of five digital photo-frames from Sony.
"It should be a fascinating exercise which will fully explore the capabilities of the a380 to cope with the rigors of a professional brief," says a spokesperson. "To ensure a level playing field, each photographer will supply us with untouched image files. The emphasis will be on reactions, originality and the ability of the individual to explore the potential of a given situation."
In the final week, users will be asked to vote for their favourite photograph to be entered into a prize draw to win an a380 DSLR with an 18-55mm zoom lens and a digital photo-frame from Sony.
Boasting 14.8 megapixels of resolution, the a380 ( [http://www.sony.co.uk/alpha] ) boasts a number of cutting edge features; at just 15.9 ozs it is small, lightweight and easy to use. Quick Autofocus Live View allows the rear LCD screen to be used to frame the image while the screen flips out to enable low down or overhead shots. Super SteadyShot Inside removes camera shake and gives ultra sharp results.

Tomorrow, our office is organizing Bud*get Seminar but since the participants are way behind the target, all seniors have been instructed to call at least 30 clients before 4pm today. and your yours truly was responsible to call 37 companies... and as expected
one of the client was not really happy to receive my call. I was right from the beginning not to hold the conversation any longer but unfortunately yours truly has accidently asked another question asking for her colleague..
first, it is quite challenging for me to distinguish whether the chinese name is belong to a man or a woman and secondly the clients are not mine, so i dont have any clue who they are and the character of the client.
and strike one, i wanted to address her colleague by the name but it was my unlucky call where i addressed her colleague as MR not Ms. and duhh being so sarcastic, this "kind" lady spare her time to slap me with her words for at least 5 minutes.
I did apologized but she ignored. Yeah, i agree that client is always right but you know you dont have to be too evil until the other party feels like cursing you. Wasnt it nice to say "She is ms. not Mr" instead of being one pathetic lady.
Ok apalagi dengan internet di hujung jari anda.. Google her name and found her wedding photos.. "oohh ni laa muke orang yang marah aku, pakai tudung", ok i shouldnt mention pakai tudung, but that was honestly one of the exact word pop-out spotaneously.
But as Im thinking further, we are being unfair to those who are wearing scarf/hijab. To most of us, wearing scarf, hijab, a person must potray a good attitude ALL the time until we have forgotten that they are human beings with emotion fills with feeling and thoughts. Of course, on the other hand, we need them (saya jugak) to represent the beauty of Islam but at times, we fail to differentiate SEMUA kene baik..
And i did forget the fact that the lady might face an unhappy situation where she can only bombarded to the third party and i might be there at the wrong time and at the wrong place..
So, in conclusion, thank you lady, saya tarik balik kata kata saya. Tadi saya marah, sekarang saya dah ok. Anyway, that was not the first time kene marah dengan client pun, tak terbilang. so ape hal you nak over over ni mira :)
Kadang kadang saya pun gitu jugak nak nak kalau bile order makan, makanan sampai lambat or orang tu terlupe.. yes, i can become your dearly nightmare. hehehe.

Bowditch coy on Hammers link
By Tom Adams
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Ipswich's Dean Bowditch is remaining coy over reports that he could join West Ham.Ipswich striker Dean Bowditch is remaining coy over reports that he could be set to join West Ham in the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old, currently stuck in a goal drought, has been linked with a swap deal with The Hammers that could see Carl Fletcher and Gavin Williams move to the Championship outfit.
Ipswich boss Joe Royle has already indicated he is keen to bolster his midfield options, and that he could be tempted to sacrifice one of his current crop of stars in order to facilitate an agreement.
Hammers boss Alan Pardew is known to be a keen admirer of Bowditch, and the forward has refused to rule out the possibility of a winter Premiership move.
"We will have to wait and see what happens then," said Bowditch.
Whilst transfer speculation is currently surrounding his position at Portman Road, Bowditch has advanced his desire to break a 13-month goalless period for the Suffolk outfit.
After scoring just once while on loan at Burnley last season, Bowditch has failed to find the net in 15 appearances so far this term and is confident that he will soon remedy the dire run.
"I don't care if the ball rebounds into the net off my face and I'm left with a bloodied nose. I just want to break my current run," Bowditch continued.
"I am a confident person and I know I'm good enough. I may not be as physically strong as some strikers but that's not my game.
"I feel I've been doing everything else but score. I just need a bit of luck and if I keep going the goals will return."

Hallmark Group Launches "Divine India' Collection
Limited edition of 15 silver ingots of Hindu Deities launched
March 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - In a first of its kind, Hallmark India Pvt. Ltd., part of London-based Hallmark Group, has launched the "Divine India" collection of 15 pure silver ingots (.999) layered in 24-carat gold of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. To preserve the value for the collectors, the 'Premium Edition' with 15 ingots has only 7,500 complete sets each. The limited 'Divine India' collection is inspired by the finest paintings from Yogendra Rastogi, V.V. Sapar and Nirmala, who are considered among India's leading artists of divine art.
"The 'Divine India' Collection is unquestionable one of the finest collections of engraved silver ingots that has ever been produced, unrivalled anywhere in the world. It has taken more than two years of intensive artistic endeavor, fine sculpture and skilled engraving to create the 15 Master Dies ready for minting," said Mr. R.A. Wainwright, Chairman, Hallmark Group Limited.
The collection spans the diversity of the Hindu Gods and Goddesses in India - Ganesha, Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Balaji, Sai Baba, Murugun, Kali, Durga, Hanuman, Saraswati, Ram Durbar, Radhakrishna, Lakshmi and the Supreme Consciousness represented by Om.
Honoring India's most revered deities, the Hallmark teams of artists, sculptors and engravers have created the "Divine India' collection. Placed in a handmade, lacquered wood box, each set has a complete 15 fact cards and an album, a jeweler's cloth, cotton gloves and a mother of pearl tool to lift the ingots and it comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
"For more than three decades Hallmark Group has dedicated itself to the reproduction of historic images as engraved solid silver ingots, the most recent in India being the acclaimed 'Pride of India' stamp replica collection," added Mr. Wainwright.

Tobin opposes tax hike
Tobin opposes tax hike
Jim Tobin, Libertarian candidate for Lt. Governor, said recently he will work to defeat a planned 33 percent increase in the state income tax and to eliminate the office of Lt. Governor if he wins the election.
The tax hike was among a package of tax increases recommended August 27 by Gov. George Ryans Education Funding Advisory Board. Personal income taxes would climb from 3 to 4 percent, and corporate income tax would leap from 7.3 to 8.3 percent.
Most of the additional revenue would be earmarked for salaries of public school teachers. The majority of the teachers, Tobin said, are paid between $60,000 and $200,000 by the time they retire at age 55. The Illinois Education Association was a major contributor to George Ryans campaign.
This scheme should alarm every taxpayer in Illinois, Tobin said. If these overpaid bureaucrats have their way, were going to end up paying 33 percent more in state income taxes every year and a new state sales tax on services and, within a few years, higher property taxes statewide, he said.
Tobin went on to say: Cal Skinner and I are the only team running for governor and lieutenant governor who absolutely oppose this horrendous income tax hike scam. While both our Republican and Democratic opponents are proven tax-raisers, Cal is the only one Illinois taxpayers can trust to veto any increase in the Illinois income tax, as well as any state sales tax hike. We are also the only ones who will work for cuts in the state sales tax and the state cigarette tax.
Tobin has already branded the state budget crisis as phony. His Illinois Taxpayer Education Foundation recommended $4 billion in restraints from the $54 billion 2003 Illinois state budget, which rose $2 billion from the current budget.

I defo would.
Although, i'd say if i tried to go downtown, she say.. none of that fancy stuff, just horse it inta me......
btw, love the mc5
She kicks ass .......... but not my ass. She wouldnt do it for me.
Not defensive Clio, just curious. I mean...it's not that important is it? Katie is a great boxer. End of.
The point (which you missed) is that Ive seen her in a few interviews (Late Late springs to mind), where she was asked why she doesnt have BF yet, and does the boxing scare away the lads- which is as much an assumption about her hetrosexuality as anything else
No need to get sensitive luvvie
My bad.
I've followed her career a bit over the last few years and seen a few of her fights and her interviews. She's a fantastic boxer and fingers' crossed she gets the chance to compete for a Olympic medal and she brings back the gold.
i think she's a nice looking girl. She's not a stunner, she's not a girl we'd be talking about in terms of looks if she wasn't famous for something else. She looks like a normal Irish girl.
By the sounds of it, she's bit of a conservative Christian. She's also been trained by her dad in the boxing club for years. Also based on the way she comes across in interviews (so you can see I'm not really going on much here) i reckon she's lived a fairly sheltered life.
If I found out in a few years that she had a girl friend I wouldn't be surprised, if I found out in a few years she was happily married to her first proper boyfriend I wouldn't be too surprised either.
Haven't said that I've never met her so I'm talking thru me hole.
She is seriously fast.
This is the first time I have ever seen her, I didnt think she looked like a boxer at all. But damn can she move.
gave here a quick google shes about a 5 :/ and the legs there like overly mussely i find that unexceptable... i bet her back looks worse to so no
I most definitely wouldn't...
She has some voice on her, Like a broken record
I bet she's got a big pair of cauliflowers.
Yeah if I was that way inclined...
That doesn't make any sense.
If I was gay I would,but I am not so I won't
but how can you tell if you would or not if you aren't gay?

A new report on Thailand's prisons claim that they subject inmates to "inhumane" conditions and use shackles on inmates, according to the BBC.
The report by the Union for Civil Liberties, an independent rights group in Thailand, claims that the prisons clamp shackles on the ankles of long-term prisoners and never remove them, not even when the inmate is ill, throughout their sentence.
The constitutional court has ruled against the practice, and the United Nations has condemned it. However, the low ratio of inmates to wardens -- about 45 to one -- makes the practice hard to stamp out, BBC reports.
The rights group also claims the prisons have extreme crowding, forcing people to sleep in tight rows on the floor.
Danthong Breen, the chairman of the Union, told BBC prisons keep 200 women in a single cell.
"If one of them has to get up at night to go to the toilet, they all shift a bit and when she comes back the space is gone and she has to stand up all night," he said.
Meanwhile, an American citizen, Lerpong Wichaikhammat, was arrested by Thai authorities last week and charged with defaming the monarchy for a post on his blog from four years ago, Voice of America reports.
Insulting the Thai monarchy is a serious crime that carries up to 15 years imprisonment.
Lerpong allegedly put a link on his blog to the book, "The King Never Smiles," which is biography of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and is banned in Thailand.

This article is an introduction to "Moments of Awakening." Moments of Awakening is LCCS's running series of couples retreats facilitated by John and Elaine Leadem, Senior Supervisors and Co-Founders of Leadem Counseling & Consulting Services, P.C.
The couples that we have had the opportunity to work with over the past 40 years have taught us a great deal about the process of reducing the level of reactivity we experience in our significant relationships. When our reactions to a loved one's behavior appears irrational to them – as if we are over reacting – their assessment is only partly accurate. We need to take a closer look at where our reaction is coming from.
Some might suggest that our profound sense of rejection or intense desire to retaliate for a perceived wrong is wholly unfounded. However that is not necessarily the case. We have come to understand that flash points that ignite our reactive impulses to flee from, or fight with, our partner have their antecedents in our powerful past life experiences. We will typically "over-react" when these past life experiences are not adequately addressed or when they have been post traumatically triggered by what our partner has said, done, or failed to do.
The power in those past life experience comes from one of a combination of three sources:
- First, a significant source of power can come from the cumulative force of a number of independent injuries that have occurred over time. For example, if you are employed in a hostile work environment and contend with oppression day in and day out because you fear that you cannot make it without your job, you are apt to develop a decrease in tolerance for the annoying behaviors of others. When your emotional wagon is full, you are likely to over react at home because you are under-responding at work.
- A second source of power will resonate from a single source of traumatic violation such as a rape, physical and sexual abuse, or severe emotional betrayal.
- The third source of power can be the most challenging to contend with. It is the power that comes from a pattern of traumatic bonding. Traumatic bonding occurs when we re-create, in our adult lives, the injuries that we experienced as young people.
Our memories of threatening life experiences are always stored on our "hard drives." Picture proof of these experiences are often difficult to retrieve when we are consciously and purposefully searching for them. The physical memories of those events, however, appear to lie close to the surface of our awareness and are easily triggered when we feel threatened. That is why physical memories of painful events will often leak or flood into our awareness without the pictures you would have expected to accompany them.
When physical memories are not accompanied by actual details that surround their origin, confusion develops. A sense of threat or danger that is not substantiated by the behavior of those around you is likely to leave you feeling physically threatened even though you do not have "picture proof" about where it is coming from. This confusion alerts us to the presence of some threat that does not rationally match the situation that we are experiencing in the present moment. In these moments it seems that the only data we have available to analyze is telling us to fight or to flee the person in front of us.
If we do not take action to stop the build up of pressure, our internal reactor will begin to melt down and cause significant damage to our partnership.
It may appear that this life preserving desire to flee from or fight our partner is automatic and unstoppable— it is not!
LCCS's couples retreats are designed to heighten your conscious awareness of the physical memories of traumatic experiences in your life. Those physical memories of the past are the main source of fuel for your "over reactions" to perceived threats you are experiencing in the present moment while interacting with your partner.
Once you are in touch with what your body is telling you, those memories will become your allies. They will alert you to the potential for you to harm your partner, fracture your relationship, and dishonor yourself.
The physical memories that may have once told you that you were in danger and needed to flee from, or fight with, your partner can become the markers that guide your way into the kind of freedom that Jonah finally found in the "belly of the whale."
In the belly of the whale you can gain the insight, inspiration and motivation to address the concerns that you have. Our Into the Belly of the Whale retreat borrows its name from the story of Jonah and the Whale. The story suggests that Jonah ran from the task he was asked to do and in his flight was swallowed by a whale. It was while he was in the belly of the whale that he had an 11th Step experience and found the inspiration, courage and power to face his fears. He became willing to be of service. We are suggesting that when you respond to your partner's challenges or those you are experiencing in the romance by praying for the knowledge of your higher power's will for you and the power to carry that out, you will avoid doing time in the belly of the whale.
Elaine and John Leadem, are the co-founders of Leadem Counseling & Consulting Services, P.C. (LCCS) and share a combined tenure in the addiction treatment field of over 66 years. They have authored and published a variety of books designed to aid recovering addicts, families, and treatment providers in developing a comprehensive set of therapeutic resources from meditation guides for recovering couples to course material for developing individualized relapse prevention plans.
Their work with couples over the past 40 years has guided them in the development of a series of therapeutic retreats, "Moments of Awakening" for recovering couples that are seeking to build a romantic sober bond.

A day sail south took us to Maninita island (bird island) the southern most of the islands of Va Va'u hoping to have a break in the weather to go into the lagoon but it was too risky so we just observed the friendly boobies and noddies from the cockpit.
It covers at full tide and is uncovered at low exposing beautiful coral and rock pools with fish and shellfish
With deep lows in the southern ocean near NZ and tropical lows threatening to form into cyclones in the north there was a lot of anxiety among the fleet. Everyone was keen to get underway but the weather windows were short, particularly for the slower boats.
We listened on the radio as boats who had left Tonga and Fiji turned back or ran for shelter as fronts and low pressure systems were close on their heels. 9m swells and high winds were predicted so one yacht headed north for New Caledonia, another west for Norfolk Island and another back to north Minerva reef.
This was an ominous looking morning sky
Most of the yachts headed West with the wind but with lumpy seas and wind on the nose a NW course was taken. We decided to get south as quickly as possible by motor sailing and putting in a couple of tacks which paid off. Leto did the same. We are not a fast boat but with this tactic it put us in front for a couple of days. The faster boats who left the next day started overtaking us on the 3rd day. It was a good passage riding a high pressure system but there was pressure to get into the shelter of land as another ridge from a low passed over NZ.
Before getting into the shelter of Cape Brett and the Bay of Islands we caught 3 albacore which refilled the freezer.
We spent a day in the company of Mike and Maureen Trotter. Mike had spent hours on the computer with Eric's design many years ago CADing our yachts lines.
There were lots of festivities over the weekend with the Island cruising rally events and a celebratory dinner at the yacht club. A wonderful end to our round the world adventure sharing with newly made friends and old cruising friends.

Bought it to replace the cheap plastic one on my new American Standard Champion toilet. It is very attractive in Biscuit, a sort of ivory shade, a tinge of yellow in it. Very sturdy, doesn't slide and looks nice.

SamGreen definitely chose the right piece of music for his awesome animation. I love this track so much that I bookmarked on my computer and I listen to it everytime I do my homework :P
I appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed it! And yea, I'm really glad that SamGreen chose to use this piece too because if he didn't, it still wouldn't be heard of really. :3

Noone knows about Knights and Honor apparently.
This is not your work.
You obviously didn't read the info. Don't accuse without knowing the facts. I used MAGIX Music Maker with stock MAGIX soundpools from few DVD Soundpool collections, ANYONE can use them, and ANYONE can build something similar. Read up, troll.
Also, amazing how you merely state that it's not my work without linking to the submission in which you think I'm "copying" from. Again, go troll somewhere else.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
THIS IS SPARTA this is good music
THIS... IS... a great response. :p
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
