We had a double room in the concrete block at the back, the toilet flush only worked intermittently and the aircon unit gave out a strong smell of mould when we turned it on so we decided not to use it.

A snail on a basketball
I set up a new weblog. This is it, you're reading it. I moved my old weblog and you can read that too if you want. The new blog has pullquotes, which I'm sure you're all excited about.
"Hey I installed new blog software" is pretty boring, so here's a picture of a snail on a basketball:

Wow. I just read the saga of your orders for the Stella amp. I was one of those orders. I heard about the kit from the Make Magazine link. It sounded great, and I thought I could use it with the telecaster style guitar that I built last year. I finished soldering all the components last night and found an old speaker lying around. I tested it this morning, and it sounds great. As soon as I get my hands on a better speaker, I'm going to build a nice wood cabinet to put it in. I'll try post some pictures when I'm finished.

Kim Jong Un's Crazy New Movie
North Korea's supreme leader, the pudgy, 30-year-old Kim Jong Un, keeps issuing nuclear threats from his crumbling peninsula (when he's not entertaining semi-forgotten NBA rebounders, of course) — threatening to attack South Korea, the United States, and possibly parts of Guam. While nobody's quite sure how seriously to take this guy, one thing is for certain: the whole ridiculous episode is starting to feel like a bad movie.

I finished the free motion quilting of the scrap happy quilt.
And it is NO WHERE near perfect but I am actually really proud of myself for finishing it, especially considering the trouble I had.
I kinda can't wait to get the binding on and wash it so I can see how the FMQ will turn out then.
You can see where I got stuck and loopy-looped my way out - oh well!
This is my learning curve quilt for sure.
It ought to be perfect for hauling outside, taking to the park, sitting on the grass, throwing in the car, and I won't care one bit if it gets mud, juice or anything else spilled on it.
It certainly won't be an heirloom but I think I will enjoy looking back on it in the future (when I get better at FMQ) and seeing how far I've come.
Thanks again for all of your great suggestions, help and support! Even after all the struggles, I actually like FMQ and want to keep on... plus the only way I am going to get better is to keep practicing.
Kinda a crazy FMQ mess but what can you do? :) |
Hopefully I will get this bound and washed soon but we have company this weekend so it will probably have to wait until next week.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend and a happy Halloween!

Attracting attention: 2012 All-Area Baseball Team
CHEHALIS – The scene at W.F. West High baseball games when Mitch Gueller pitches has become, well, like a zoo, says coach Tom Zuber.
For the past couple months, pro scouts have descended on Bearcats games with radar guns to watch the senior pitch.
"It's funny to watch," Zuber said. "Mitch will go down to the bullpen to warm up and it's like you're at Woodland Park Zoo. (The scouts) all follow and peer through the fence, like they're watching an orangutan or something."
The scouts need all the information they can scrounge, even if some comes from the bullpen, because Gueller is a potential first-round Major League Baseball draft pick.
Some baseball scouts predict Gueller, a right-hander with a nasty two-seam fastball and a biting slider, will be one of the first 50 players taken next month in the 2012 Major League Baseball draft.
Gueller's rapid ascension to the top of draft boards has surprised him in some ways.
"It was a surprise to me that other people are noticing," The News Tribune's 2012 All-Area Baseball Player of the Year said. "It's kind of crazy to think about. I always thought that it could happen, I just never thought that it would."
Gueller said pro scouts began noticing him at the Area Code Games in August. The games attract the top prep players from around the country and Gueller, who's also an athletic outfielder, was outstanding.
"That's when I got on the radar," he said, "and they've been in contact with me since."
Around spring break, his draft stock soared.
About 30 scouts were in attendance for a double-header against Centralia High. And they were sticking around, returning for more games. That's when Gueller realized he had to start thinking hard about forgoing college – he signed a letter of intent in the fall to play at Washington State University – and consider signing a pro contract.
Gueller said his parents, Jason and Carrie, have rounded up as much information as possible to aid in making the decision. Younger brother Tanner, a sophomore at W.F. West, pitches in, too.
"My brother is one of my biggest fans," Gueller said. "He's always Googling my name and he'll show me things people have written."
Tanner found a nugget written May 8 by ESPN baseball analyst Keith Law, a former Toronto Blue Jays front office member, who pegged Gueller was the 39th best prospect in the draft.
Gueller says most scouts have told him his future is as a pitcher. That doesn't surprise Zuber.
"He's got a really good fastball, (the) two-seamer really tails in on right-handed batters," Zuber said. "A hard slider that bites down. The fastball really moves. In fact, umpires have commented on the movement on his fastball."
Some think that Gueller's superior athleticism – he was an all-league quarterback in football and a forward in basketball – will put him in the outfield.
If Gueller goes to WSU, he said he plans to pitch and play in the field. Cougars coach Donnie Marbut won't disagree.
"In our opinion, Mitch is the best two-way threat in the Northwest," Marbut said in a press release touting WSU's signing class. "He has a chance to be an everyday outfielder as well as an everyday pitcher. I have no problem calling him the best athlete in this class or we have ever signed."
Gueller said he hasn't determined how high he needs to be drafted to skip college. Whatever he decides, figure it will be an informed decision – Gueller carries a 3.96 GPA.
One thing Gueller knows for sure. There's a good chance he'll be absent from school on June 4., the first day of the draft.
"I might be sick," he joked.

If Mount Rainier hadn't been a national park, it probably would have become one of the nation's top ski resorts.
Instead, Park Service policies that promoted preservation kept a mountain that was once seen as the Northwest's best site for a ski area from becoming a Sun Valley, a Whistler or an Aspen.
Finally, even the modest rope tow permitted by the park was forced out.
Some bitterness lingers over skiing's long downhill slide at Rainier.
Dick Vanderflute was president of the last company to operate rope tows on the snowy slopes above Paradise. But at the end of the 1975 season, the company packed up in disgust - the victims, Vanderflute said, of pressure from park officials who no longer saw downhill skiing as compatible with park goals.
"Our problem was the National Park Service. They wanted us out of there. It was pretty obvious," recalled Vanderflute, a longtime ski instructor who since 1965 has owned Parkland Sports. "They harassed us to death."
Rainier officials see the loss of the rope tow differently. John Wilcox, the ranger who oversees the park's backcountry areas, said downhill skiing at Rainier withered in the 1970s largely because of severe weather and competition from more-developed ski areas.
"But you could also say the park welcomed this change, because ski areas and national parks are kind of incompatible," Wilcox said.
Downhill skiers and Mount Rainier officials were at odds almost from the moment the sport spread from Europe to the United States in the late 1920s.
The region's pioneer downhill skiers quickly saw Rainier's long slopes as an ideal location for a world-class resort, complete with a grand hotel and a permanent chairlift that could whisk skiers to 10,000 feet. Union Pacific Railroad Chairman Averell Harriman even considered Mount Rainier as a location before deciding to build his lavish ski resort at Idaho's Sun Valley.
Initially, Rainier's slopes accommodated the new sport. In April 1934, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer sponsored the Silver Skis Downhill Race on a challenging 5-mile route from Camp Muir to Paradise. The following year, the first U.S. Downhill and Slalom Championships were held at Paradise. Soon after, Austrian-born Otto Lang arrived to form the region's first ski school.
Park officials, however, soon turned cool to ski promoters' grander plans. Accommodating the record crowds at Paradise was a challenge in winter, when snow removal is a constant problem. The park also lacked adequate parking, lodging, avalanche control and facilities to treat ski injuries.
Moreover, skiers' emphasis on speed, thrills, competition and ski-lodge frivolity often made them unwelcome visitors in the eyes of many park officials. Even more suspect were ski race spectators, who viewed the unique mountain as little more than a sports arena.
Park officials resisted pleas to allow construction of a permanent chairlift at Paradise. Yet, they did allow three men - Jimmy Parker, Chauncey Griggs and David Hellyer - to set up a seasonal rope-tow operation. The motors and support poles were taken down at the close of each winter, leaving nothing to mar the scenic hillsides in summer.
The first equipment went up in late 1937. A new gas-powered, eight-cylinder Mercury engine spun automobile wheels that pulled a loop of 1 1/2-inch Manila rope. The tow could haul 250 skiers an hour from a spot near the Guide House to the saddle of Alta Vista.
In the days before lift tickets, the tow operators charged skiers 10 cents a ride. Dimes often slipped through gloved fingers into the deep snow, where they waited until the spring melt.
"In the spring, there was a whole lot of silver on the ground there," said Hellyer, now 85. He and his wife, Connie, would later establish Northwest Trek.
A T-bar was added in 1940, and a ski lodge was completed at Paradise in December 1941. Other rope tows were installed for a time above Narada Falls and near Cayuse Pass.
Lean resources during World War II curtailed winter use. But by the early 1950s, ski clubs and their supporters were again lamenting what they saw as the national park's refusal to develop the mountain to its fullest. Politicians and newspaper editors took up the skiers' cause.
Historian Theodore Catton said National Park Service Director Conrad Wirth literally put his job on the line when he stood firm against calls for a chairlift.
"For the first time in Mount Rainier's history, the Park Service was telling a whole constituency - in this case, downhill skiers - that their activity was inappropriate for a national park," Catton said.
Contentious disagreements lasted until the 1960s, when development at other ski areas finally diverted attention from Rainier.
But the modest rope tow stayed. It was operated by the Rainier National Park Co. until 1966, at which time the concessionaire wanted out of what it saw as two marginal enterprises. The company combined the winter ski tow with the summer climbing guide service, then looked for an operator.
A five-year contract went to Kendall Mountain Inc., which had formed in the hope of developing a ski area near Snoqualmie Pass. The corporation's president was Jack Melill, a Mercer Island schoolteacher who had worked for 10 years at Rainier as a seasonal ranger.
Running the summer guide service was profitable, Melill recalled. But losses during the winter at the ski rope tows erased the profits from guiding.
"We were losing so much money on the ski area," Melill said. The Park Service "made it really tough to do business up there."
Melill's contract required his company not only to tow skiers but also to operate the facilities of the new visitor center. The roof leaked and heating the building cost a fortune. Fresh food shipped from the lowlands sometimes spoiled when the road to Paradise could not be plowed.
Tickets for the rope tow cost $2, but to get to the slopes skiers had to first pay the park's $2 entrance fee. The combination made the total price comparable to what skiers would pay to use the chairlift at Snoqualmie Pass.
After two money-losing winters, the corporation's stockholders voted to get out of Mount Rainier. "They didn't understand it much. They were just people who wanted to make money," Melill said.
John and Evelyn Anderson took over the business and managed to split the ski tows from the guide service. When the Andersons opted out of the ski business, Dick Vanderflute stepped in.
Vanderflute, now 70, had been a ski instructor since 1956. He and nine others each put in $1,000 to buy and run the company, which they named Paradise Ski Tows. Vanderflute was president.
The company's equipment hauled skiers 450 vertical feet up the mountain with four ropes, three of which were linked to electric motors housed in a small, tepee-shaped building that still stands near the Paradise restrooms.
Crews would arrive Friday night to begin digging out the grooming machines and tow ropes, which sometimes were buried under 10 feet of fresh snow.
Skiers arrived Saturday and Sunday mornings. Many were beginners who mastered their turns, stops and tucks at Paradise before moving to longer, chairlift-equipped runs at Crystal Mountain or White Pass.
On good weekends, "We would fill the parking lot," Vanderflute said. "We taught a lot of people to ski at Paradise. We had probably 40 to 50 people sign up for Sunday lessons."
Yet almost from the start, Vanderflute felt unwelcome.
"If there was a ski area in the national park and they really wanted it, they didn't show they wanted it," Vanderflute said. "Unfortunately, the national park seems to think that's their own personal playground. It doesn't have anything to do with the people who pay the tax on the damn thing."
One particular annoyance was a road sign.
In winter, park officials would put a sign at the Nisqually entrance that read "Road closed seven miles ahead." While technically true, it overlooked the fact that the road from Longmire to Paradise was closed while it was being plowed, and that it would soon reopen.
Vanderflute said he begged park officials to put up a different sign that read something like, "Road will open at 9 a.m." They refused.
"That sign in the road is probably what did us in," Vanderflute said. "Skiers would see the sign, see the road was closed, and they'd leave."
Finally, Vanderflute and his partners gave up. He moved his Paradise Ski School to the more accommodating Crystal Mountain. He said he "never even considered" trying to restart his tow operation at Mount Rainier.
"I had such a bitter pill in my mouth from the experience I had with them, I couldn't care less," he said.
Today, a handful of downhill skiers and snowboarders still visit Rainier each weekend, and the numbers rise in spring after other ski areas close. Most pack their equipment up the mountainside to 10,080-foot Camp Muir - a spot more than 3,000 feet higher than any chairlift in Washington - for one long slide back down to Paradise.
Near the parking lot, they pass that odd tepee-shaped hut with vertical slits through which tow cables once passed.
"Except for that building," said Vanderflute, "there's no evidence at all that there was a ski area there."

A; °wm& to the wise is mdfiLcient. John Blair. Hatton, March 27, 1886. Dyspepsia! the prevailing malady of civilized life. A weak dispep- tic stomach acts very slowly or not at all on many kinds of food, gases are extracated, acids are formed and. hecome a source of pain and desease until discharged. To be dyspeptic is to be miserable, hopeless, depressed, confused in mind, forgetful, irresolute, drowsy, weak, languid and useless. It destroys the Teeth, Complexion, Strength, Peace of Mind and Bodily -ease. It produces Headache, Pain in Shoulders, Cough, Tightness ©fchest, Dizzihesb, Sour Eructations of Stomach, Bad Taste in Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of heart. Inflamation of Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneysj and a hundred other painful symptons. Dyspepsia invariably yields to the vegetable remedies in Golden Seal Bitters, the great purifier of the blood and restorer of health. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthly advertisement. We warrant GOLDEN SEAL BIT- TEBS. Take no others. 'Sold by H Trevidick and M. Dr Davis.8 Prosecuting Attorney Burritt came to Clare Wednesday and investigated the ease. To a Press reporter he said that he thought there was truth in the charge alleged against Fletch- ers but that the evidence was not strong enough to convict.

Irresistible You Boudoir Photography's husband-and-wife team of Mike and Tracy peer through the camera's batting eye and set subjects at ease as they snap alluring memories of couples and single subjects. With each wink of the camera, Tracy and Mike contrast colors and textures and put their editorial fashion sense to work, winking camera shutters at models who pose alone or with beloved swamp beasts. Backward glances, leggy poses, and intimate embraces performed by models cast a bewitching mystique onto photos that are professionally touched up after photo shoots. Each guest is then awarded a print and a disk of final copies that they can email to a significant other or slip beneath the door of an estranged teddy bear.
At Pictures Plus, teams of framing technicians help preserve and display customers' precious artwork and images with mounting and framing services. The walls of the studio beckon to visitors with rows of leather, pewter, and enamel frames for protecting art and family photos. They can also peruse shadow boxes, good for preserving and presenting medals, seashells, and collections of celebrity toenail clippings. The shop's Urban Ashes collection allows framing experts to preserve Michigan's precious natural resources through the use of locally salvaged materials and scrap ash wood.
Filing just one annual tax return can be stressful for most people, but at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Detroit, the tax-savvy team calmly files thousands each tax season. The network of Detroit tax centers—a subset of a nationwide chain with more than 7,000 locations—specializes in individual federal and state income tax returns and boast between 150 and 500 hours of training. Offering services that are often more affordable than do-it-yourself software, staff tax experts also back their handiwork with an accuracy guarantee; clients are reimbursed for any penalties that result from a staffer's error. Returns also come with free online filing, which reassures taxpayers with round-the-clock return status alerts and saves them the hassle of wondering whether the Monopoly Man has received their papers yet.
The quadruplet of photographers behind the lens at Considering Lilies Photography includes the well-traveled Kim Koluch, her daughter-in-law, Jamie, and her son-in-law, Aaron, and a recent addition— considered adopted family, Clayton. The strong family bonds that bind these shutterbugs are evident in their choice of photographic subjects: couples in love. The quadruplet travels to weddings—some held across the world—to capture everything from the groom awaiting the ceremony to the first dance to the bride throwing her cake. The photographers' clientele include families and children whose life moment's they have been capturing since their parent's engagement. As the senior photographer, Kim uses her romantic, creative, and unobtrusive style to ensure she captures every memorable detail and emotion that tell the personal story of each couple's big day.

My thanks to World Leader Symes who tells me "In this month's Q magazine there is an interview with Graham Coxon, the guitarist with Blur. I think the article is called The Soundtrack of My Life. He is holding a copy of the album cover (vinyl!) for Court and this is what he says: Q: What album do never tire of hearing? King Crimsons In The Court Of The Crimson King is an album I can become pretty obsessed with. I cant listen to it just once, I have to listen to it again. Immediately. It has really pretty, fairy sort of songs on it and quite big ones. Its just so exciting. Its just my favourite things: organs, drums and guitars all going mental!

REVIEW EXCERPT Songs like Fragment Pool and Pebble had a flow to it that drew you in and held your attention. Sea Of Size was one of the highlights of the set - a piece that drifted through the air and oozed a quiet sort of power. Wong, Rieflin, and the Igor with no last name created an interlocking tapestry for Toyah Willcox to glide over. Most impressive. Quicksilver and Telekinesis, both from the 1st Humans disc, were audio fairy tales for adults - bizarre little tales of life, slightly skewed. Twisted Soul led to the massively electric Put A Woman On The Moon, and the show ended with the caffeine rush of Demigod. The fun romp that was their cover of These Boots Are Made For Walkin served as encore. An incredible evening! Bring this band back as soon as humanly possible!
And The Winner Is... :: Posted by Sid Smith on Fri., Sep 30, 2011 Congratulations to Claas Kazzer of Leipzig who wins himself a copy of the new album by Levin Torn White.

Good Night Vienna! :: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Sep 29, 2011 My thanks to Lee Huntington who sent this review of the 2OAPT gig in Vienna, VA on 24th September. The small venue was packed to see members of King Crimson on the same stage for the first time in this country in about three years. Tony Levins Stick Men and the Adrian Belew Power Trio, on the 5th date of their current US tour brought a mix of their own repertoires and classic Crimson to a very appreciative audience. Stick Men opened, with Tony announcing that usually they play a lot of King Crimson in their sets, but that they were holding those back for the "Crim-centric encore."

"Michigan won 8 B1G titles in 10 years ..." ... and I'll guarantee you that nationally no one cared. All they saw was Bo and Woody failing to acknowledge the existence of the forward pass (among other things). Provincialism ... it's ugly. What would you rather have? A. Two Big 10 titles in ten years with a strong conference, BCS championship appearances in both years, and one championship. B. Eight Big 10 titles in ten years in a mediocre (that is, status quo) conference, a handful of non-BCS championship appearances, and a bunch of Capital One / Outback games. I'm taking A. |

Back in the day, they used to be able to feed their no-name farmboys steaks laced with 'roids. Add some weight training and they had everything they needed to slowly wear down just about any team. Quite often, the scores of games against Iowa State, Kansas, et al. were 14-0/17-0 at halftime. Check back midway through the 4th quarter (when the other team was completely spent) and it would be 55-0/63-0. |
9 weeks 2 days ago | 101% awesome |
The last time this GIF appeared on MGoBlog I publicly wished for a remake, starring Fred Jackson, to be played on the big screen at next season's UTL. I'd like to formally do so again. |
10 weeks 3 days ago | wrong board | |
11 weeks 1 day ago | another question |
I have a similar question for the MGoBlog audience. I'm trying to decide which play was better: A. Trey Burke's long 3-pointer to tie the game near the end of regulation against Kansas. B. Jerome Jackson's 6-yard TD against IU in '05 to put UM up 34-7 (http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=253150130). Can anyone help me? |
11 weeks 2 days ago | Burke |
I enjoyed watching Braylonfest but, as others have noted, that win came against a mediocre team with a tradition to match. Burke's shot and UMich's win last night came against what is generally a top-tier team. I'm reminded of the '79 IU football game that causes so many people to go apeshit. Anthony Carter's play was spectacular and I understand that it was historically significant (awakening Bo to the possibilities of passing, etc.) but people seem to forget that Michigan was tied to a Big Ten doormat in the Big House (rather than trailing OSU in Columbus). |
12 weeks 6 days ago | time for a thought experiment |
Of course I get that people don't like MSU, OSU, et al. in the conference. Suppose they were up against this guy, though? I'd cheer for the conference in that case. |
13 weeks 2 days ago | wow |
Dang near crapped myself watching them go between the buildings. Impressive. |
13 weeks 4 days ago | Mike Jones trivia |
AFAIK Mike Jones is still on the team. Of note: * He is the only member of RichRod's early enrollees from '09 that is still on the team. The others were Tate Forcier, Vincent Smith, Brandin Hawthorne, Anthony LaLota, William Campbell, and Vlad Emilien. The rest ran out of eligibility or left the team. * He has already been a student at UMich for over four years. * He made his first tackle on 9/26/2009. Assuming he sticks on the roster and gets some special teams action, he'll wind up playing in parts of five seasons, a la Junior Hemingway and Troy Woolfolk. * He is a bridge from Kevin Grady (an '05 recruit) to Shane Morris et al. ('13). He has to be one of the most anonymous 5-year guys in history. Just thought I'd share ... |
19 weeks 2 days ago | Michigan Difference indeed |
That's nice all-the-way-around. Thanks, OP, for sharing. |
20 weeks 2 days ago | points |
Berkley Edwards? With all respect to the guy (and the members of his family who manage to behave themselves), why would UMich do that? You may have noticed that they just moved a more talented version of B.E. to the secondary. I'd much rather see them take a flyer on a lineman (say, Gibbs) who might work out well as a developmental project (a la Willie Henry last year). With Berkley, I'm pretty sure it's WYSIWYG. Looks every bit like a 3-star to me. Also: "... who gives a biff about Poggi." Cute word play there, but I think most of should give plenty of biffs about the guy. He's a high-profile player at a position of need (not to mention one that was underemphasized in recruiting for most of the past thirty years). Losing him to Satan would be huge IMO. |
20 weeks 2 days ago | greatness |
How much would you give to see a remake of that ad with Fred Jackson as the star (and shown on the jumbotron prior to the next edition of UTL)? |
20 weeks 3 days ago | gif category |
This: Often appropriate, but *very* tired and overused ... |
21 weeks 2 days ago | Webber |
He's still the fastest flat-footed dunker (meaning, from ground to rim, without a running start) that I've ever seen at Michigan. Incredible physical ability ... I can't watch highlights of him, though, without thinking of how his NBA career might have gone if he'd played to his strengths (and modeled his career after, say, Akeem Olajuwon instead of Magic Johnson or some perimeter guy). It's not like he did poorly (multiple All-Star appearances attest to that), but he may have been in the "all-time greats" conversation. |
22 weeks 8 hours ago | history |
This is a great "Why I come to MGoBlog" post. Like many others, I look forward to the possibility of O-line recruiting being restored to a level of greatness not seen since, well, the late '90s. So far, so good ... If Schofield makes it to the NFL and has more than a cup of coffee (i.e., actually gets on the field for a few regular-season games), the '09 class will wind up being the best in several years (at least by the NFL measure). Unexpected. |

Albrecht played some meaningful minutes, as a freshman, in a tough Big Ten road game. He's already exceeded my expectations. |

22 weeks 6 days ago | '06 O-line |
At the risk of being disrespectful to some Michigan Men, I'd say that UMich had one *position* (LT) of an O-line in '06. None of the guys other than Long, IIRC, played in the NFL. |
23 weeks 33 min ago | bucks in '02, etc. |
I don't have the data right in front of me, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything close to a 3:1 difference in NFL talent in that '02 game. Quite a few of the OSU guys played in the NFL. - - - While I'm here, I'd like to give thanks to Kansas State and (to a much lesser extent) Oregon for screwing up near the ends of their seasons. Why? ND might then have avoided playing the ESS EEE SEE's best. Those @#$%s could very well have become national champions. Gives me the shivers ... |

23 weeks 4 days ago | geography |
IMO you are greatly overestimating the geography knowledge of the average college football fans. There are educated coastal types whose USA map consists of NYC, LA, Florida, and a couple of ski resorts in Colorado. Ask them where Michigan is relative to Montana and you'll get a blank stare. You think they know where ND is? I'm exaggerating just a bit. ND is a "national" school to most people. Its actual location is irrelevant. |

Not SIAP ... I'm pretty sure I saw this sometime in the last year, but (IMO) it's worth another look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUFMyYptotY 28 feet! |

With that configuration, Delany wouldn't be able to @#$% over the ACC. What fun would that be? :) |

"... childish anti-Freep requirement ..." Sorry -- trying to frame the discussion that way pretty much cancels out any good points in your post. |
25 weeks 1 day ago | Fords |
As several others have noted here, there's almost chance of the Lions doing anything great while the Fords own the team. Their micromanagement of affairs might be the single most amazingly underreported sports story in the history of this state. They must have nasty pictures of all the Detroit sportswriters. |
25 weeks 2 days ago | Festivus |
I can't think of a holiday more appropriate for this board. |
25 weeks 3 days ago | 40? |
It would depend on who's answering the question, I suppose, but I don't think many writers with national profiles (e.g., SI's Luke Winn) would say there are 40 teams with Final Four potential. Also, even a team with realistic F4 aspirations might be *expected* to lose on the road this year at OSU and IU. Very possibly MSU and Minnesota, too, depending on how well the other team happened to play that night. Finally, it's not like Michigan has played all scrubs this year. There's at least some data suggesting that they're pretty good. Maybe not F4 good, but good enough to be in the conversation. We'll see. One other thing while I'm here: It's probably fair to say that Michigan (given its youth) is farther away from its season ceiling than the average team. In particular, I think GRIII, McGary, and (especially) Levert have room to grow. |

26 weeks 21 hours ago | Big Ten vs. ACC |
How, again, did the Big Ten manage to tie an inferior (in 2012, anyway) conference in its yearly challenge with them? Oh, yeah -- MSU and Wisconsin played poorly. At least, that's my memory. |

The title to this article is a question I get asked all the time. In the words of my good friend David the financial planner, "It depends". Now this answer might seem overly simple, but there are truly a lot of factors that go into making the correct decision.
The first questions you must ask yourself are: Why? What? and How? Why are you replacing your windows? What do you hope to accomplish by replacing them? How is it going to be done and how are you going to pay for it?
Let's look at why. Are your windows falling apart? Do they not function properly? Do they whistle Dixie every time the wind blows? Do you think that replacing them will make your home more energy efficient and comfortable? If you answered "Yes" to any of the first three questions, then you may need new windows. If you answered "Yes" to the last question, I simply ask, how do you know they will make your home more efficient or comfortable?
What do you hope to accomplish by replacing your windows? If the answer is to have windows that actually open and stay open or even to add value to your home, then you may need new windows. If it's to make my house more energy efficient, comfortable and less drafty, how do you know that replacing your windows will actually accomplish it? If the answer is because the window contractor told me it would, I have some magic beans I'd like to sell you. They really do work, I promise!
Finally, we come to How. This is a huge one because it deals with the actual replacement process and money. There are a lot of window replacement companies out there that simply pull the guts out of the old window frames and pop new units right inside the old window frames. They do it because it is the cheaper route and it's easier. Unfortunately this method will keep you from accomplishing the goal you were looking for in the first place.
Tune into my next article and I will explain why. You can also contact me directly if you have further questions or go HERE to read a series of articles I previously wrote on this subject. As always….Don't throw money at your problems, throw knowledge, it's a lot cheaper!

I've been baking bread for several years now, but until Sunday had never actually got around to starting a sourdough. As I am somewhat entering new territory with this, I figured I might as well start a thread to log my progress and hopefully get some advice/feedback along the way.
I don't actually have a single recipe that I'm following, just getting bits of information from here and there, so who knows what I'll end up with!
So, to start, I soaked some organic raisins in water for a couple of hours before mixing one cup of the soaking water with one cup of organic white strong flour. The idea of the raisins is to try and get some of the natural yeast from the skins into the starter to give it a bit of a kick start.
After 24hrs, the mixture was starting to smell slightly sweet, with one or two fine bubbles. I fed it with a further 1/2 cup each of flour and water, and left it overnight.
I checked it this morning and hooray! I've created life! Lots of bubbles and a nice creamy yeasty smell. I've discarded a cup of the mixture and fed it with a cup of 50/50 flour-water mixture. So far, so good...
