Skew It On The Bar-B
The commits plus Derrick Green (back row, fourth from the left) via Sam Webb
The BBQ at the Big House has come and gone without a commit, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a very successful recruiting weekend for the Wolverines. The big story was VA RB Derrick Green, as Michigan's commits put on the full-court press for a commitment—one several commits expect to happen sooner or later—and while Green decided against ending his recruitment, he told Matt Pargoff that the visit "definitely helped Michigan." Green did say that, despite what others have said, he wasn't close to committing on the visit, though he did tell Tremendous that Michigan will definitely be in his top five when he names his list this week. With the news that both Clemson and Ohio State are no longer recruiting Green, the Wolverines appear to be in the driver's seat. Green is no longer certain that he'll take all of his officials before committing, which could indicate a decision in the near future.
Though AZ WR Devon Allen couldn't stay for the BBQ, instead visiting on Saturday, he told 247's Todd Worly the trip "really opened my eyes" and increased his interest in Michigan ($). I think Allen is still a longshot to end up in the class, but he's a viable alternative should the unexpected happen with Laquon Treadwell.
While Green got most of the attention, he may not have been the recruit closest to pulling the trigger this weekend; 2014 OH LB Michael Ferns told 247's Steve Wiltfong that committing "crossed my mind" during the BBQ ($). At this point, Ferns is the clear favorite to kick off Michigan's 2014 class.
Another 2014 prospect who could make an early commitment is IL CB Parrker Westphal, who told Wiltfong that Michigan is "still the standard" in his recruitment following the BBQ ($).
2014 WI DE Conor Sheehy picked up an offer at the BBQ, according to 247's Clint Brewster ($). The 6'4", 260-pound rising junior also holds an offer from Wisconsin and says he has no timeline for a commitment.
After visiting with a group of Cass Tech teammates, CB Damon Webb gave Sam Webb($) a top four of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and LSU. Webb holds offers from all four as well as Toledo, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Thus far the 2014 quarterback discussion has mostly centered around in-state prospect Chance Stewart and Ohio product DeShone Kizer, but there's a non-Midwest name on the radar: OK QB Coleman Key, who's now driven(!) to Ann Arbor twice and was told by the coaches he's the #1 target at the position, according to Tremendous. He's now got Michigan in his top three with Oklahoma and Texas and is waiting to get an offer from one of those schools.
2014 Grand Rapids Christian OL Tommy Doles says Michigan is the school he's "looking into the most," according to Tim Sullivan ($).
Michigan has also made an impression on Tarpon Springs (FL) East Lake teammates OL Mason Cole and ATH Artavis Scott, who were both at the BBQ. Cole told Sam Webb that Michigan is "definitely" one of his top schools($), while Scott said "hell yes" when asked by Tremendous if the visit helped Michigan.
Treadwell Visits: Probably Happening
IL WR Laquon Treadwell's recruitment continues to show that having four dedicated recruiting services often means you get four slightly different—or even wildly disparate—quotes in the span of a couple days. Here he's quoted by Sam Webb in the Detroit News last Thursday [emphasis mine]:
For his part, Treadwell says he will visit Oklahoma State soon. Whether he will take trips after that remains to be seen.
"August," replied Treadwell when asked when he would make his way down to the Sooner State. (After that) I'll probably take officials, but I'm not sure."
The next day, Treadwell gave this statement to ESPN's Kipp Adams:
"I am going to take some officials to LSU, Auburn, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State," Treadwell said. "I should be ready to make my decision after I see a couple of schools."
247's Keith Neibuhr got this quote on Sunday:
Along with the Wolverines, Illinois, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State make up Treadwell's top five, he said.
"I haven't decided when I'll make my decision," Treadwell said. "I'll probably just have it randomly -- when I'm ready and comfortable. I really want to see those schools over again before I make a decision. I've been to Illinois, Michigan and Michigan State. I want to get to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State."
According to the 6-feet-3, 195-pound Treadwell, Auburn, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State probably will get official visits from him. Florida is another school he might check out, and soon.
"I'm dying to get up there with (Florida commits) Vernon [Hargreaves] and Tre [Bell]," Treadwell said. "The coaches are wanting to get me up there, so they can offer me a scholarship and I can see everything."
When might that visit happen?
"Whenever I can when I'm down here," he said. "Maybe this weekend."
So, as he's maintained throughout his recruitment, Treadwell is going to take some visits. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State appear to be lined up for August, while LSU and Florida are two schools that only recently showed major interest—he's mentioned each as a potential visit destination, but he's done this before when new schools pop up on the radar without anything coming to fruition. I still think this one's just a matter of time.
Webb's article above also discusses the situation with FL DB Leon McQuay III, who moved Michigan out of his top three after the commitment of Ross Douglas:
"He didn't drop (Michigan)," clarified McQuay's father, Leon McQuay Jr. "They wanted to move on the Penn State commit and they informed us on Tuesday. It came down all of a sudden. But Leon is not ready to commit. It's a business and I understand that. I had a conversation with his head coach, and between the two of us and the conversations he had with the coaching staff at Michigan, he kind of thought that it was best that if there is no (definite) scholarship available, why would they be in his top three?"
Florida State has taken Michigan's spot alongside USC and Vanderbilt, though there's still mutual interest. Yesterday news popped up that McQuay would make his announcement today, but that isn't happening. That's probably for the best, as given the above the Wolverines would probably be on the outside looking in if McQuay made a decision now.
A few happy trails to report this week: FL CB Vernon Hargreaves III committed to Florida, MD CB Kendall Fuller pledged to join his brothers at Virginia Tech, and KY DE Jason Hatcher adds to the ridiculous recruiting haul at USC.
Well, it's about damn time this happened, even if 247 won't mention their competitors by name:
In an effort to communicate a more accurate evaluation of prospects and recruiting classes for fans, 247Sports is pleased to launch the 247Composite rating/ranking system for college football and basketball recruiting.
The 247Composite Rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index capping at 1.0000, which indicates a consensus No. 1 prospect across all services.
247 is now basing their team rankings on the composite formula, which weighs Rivals's, Scout's, and ESPN's rankings equally with their own. MGoUser Turd Ferguson has helpfully compiled the composite overall rankings of Michigan's commits and targets of interest:
Here's where the Michigan recruits landed in 247's calculation of the four-site average:
16. Shane Morris
55. Dymonte Thomas
62. Kyle Bosch
74. Patrick Kugler
82. Chris Fox
114. Henry Poggi
116. Mike McCray
122. David Dawson
133. Logan Tuley-Tillman
137. Taco Charlton
146. Jourdan Lewis
153. Jake Butt
191. Ben Gedeon
203. DeVeon Smith
215. Gareon Conley
242. Wyatt Shallman
301. Maurice Hurst, Jr.
311. Jaron Dukes
355. Ross Douglas
541. Csont'e York
641. Khalid HillAlso of note:
40. Leon McQuay
41. Laquon Treadwell
60. Derrick GreenI don't see Channing Stribling or Scott Sypniewski in the top 1250.
Unfortunately, this is a really good idea that appears to be marred by some seriously flawed methodology, as noted in the comments of the above board post:
Ross Douglas is ranked the Composite #355 overall prospect (#28 CB) while Darian Hicks is ranked the Composite #256 overall prospect (#24 CB). Rivals, Scout, ESPN, & 247Sports all have Ross Douglas ranked above Hicks in their indvidual rankings so it is unclear how Douglas is lower in the Composite.
The rankings are using the top n lists from each site and averaging a player's overall ranking in those lists, but if a player isn't ranked on the top list by a particular service, it's omitted entirely from the average. Thus, you get this:
They only used inputted the data from each services top prospects lists(Rivals 250, ESPN 300, Scout 300) into their system. Because Hicks is not ranked in any those lists, he maintains only his 247Sports ranking (which turns out to be his highest). Douglas is ranked by a lot of those lists and that actually ends up bringing his ranking down because it is below his 247Sports ranking.
Hopefully there will be a formula tweak in the near future; otherwise, this is great for comparing recruits who made it onto all four lists, and totally worthless otherwise.
Morris, Treadwell, Bailey At Gridiron Kings
Michigan's top non-coach recruiter wasn't present at the BBQ, as Shane Morris instead was in Florida competing in the Gridiron Kings 7-on-7 tournament, where he piloted his Midwest squad to the finals before falling to a stacked Southeast team. Morris impressed on day one, according to Josh Helmholdt ($)...
In general, the quarterbacks did not have a banner day on Saturday. Morris was the best when he was on and made some spectacular throws downfield. He also had times when he had trouble going through his progressions and getting the football where it needed to be on time. Overall, though, Morris was solid and helped his team put a lot of points on the board despite its 1-2 record in pool play. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound passer let the fastball rip on a number of occasions, but also varied his speed and was spotting his passes well most of the day.
...but failed to make the top performers lists after day two, when he threw a couple of picks to Leon McQuay III in the finals. He did, however, display a strong rapport with Laquon Treadwell, again via Helmholdt ($):
Warren (Mich.) De La Salle quarterback Shane Morris is committed to Michigan and Crete-Monee (Ill.) wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has the Wolverines as his favorite. It remains to be seen if the two will hook up in college, but they connected more than any other wide receiver-quarterback duo over the course of the two days.
When it came time to name a top performer for Sunday, Rivals's Chris Nee went with another Michigan target, FL WR Alvin Bailey:
Bailey didn't win offensive MVP honors, which went instead to his quarterback, Brice Ramsey. But Bailey nonetheless had an outstanding day in the Gridiron Kings Championship. He showed the ability to stretch the field and get a step on vertical routes against defensive backs while also displaying great work in the middle of the field and underneath. He had numerous big receptions and regularly found the end zone.
Treadwell also earned mention as the #6 overall Sunday performer.
Quick 2014 Updates
Michigan has handed out scholarship offers to the top national prospects at running back in the 2014 class, but hadn't given one to a Midwest back until this week, when they offered Marion (OH) Harding RB L.J. Scott, according to Tremendous. Scott is a big back at 6'0", 215 pounds, and also holds an early offer from Kent State.
Two blue-chip 2014 prospects say they'll be in Ann Arbor for a game this fall. Behemoth GA OT Orlando Brown Jr. had to cancel a visit set for earlier this month, but says he's "definitely going to go up" to Ann Arbor ($). TX CB Edward Paris, the #10 overall prospect in the early Top247, wants to check out the Alabama game($), though since that's a neutral-site game he would not be an official visitor.
A question for all Ace and the recruitniks out there. It seems to me that a lot of the supposed "inside information"we hear is just flat out wrong. Take this weekend for example - the board was lit up with all sorts of "will he or won't he" posts breathlessly wondering if Green would pull the trigger and commit. He was SO close, we were told, by various services and insders, that the BBQ might just put him over the top. To be fair nobody BKfinestest it but the buzz sure was loud and steady that he very well might end his recruitment and go blue.
Except 24 hours later we find out he had NO intention of signing this week or anytime soon for that matter. So how is it the services can get their info so completely wrong on a kid? I get him not committing, but according to Green himself he never had any intention of committing so where ddi all the other opposite conjecture come from?
What changed?
The issue here is with the sources these insiders are citing. I can't name names, obviously, but the sources cited saying Green was going to commit were current commits, who aren't always the most reliable sources out there.
At the same time, I'm not sure Green is being entirely truthful when he says that he wasn't close to committing; there was a whole lot of smoke out there for there not to be any fire.
Thanks Ace. That makes more sense (source explanation)
Keep up the good work!
Think about the immaturity of some of these national recruiting guys (Mike Farrell, etc.) and then consider that high school kids are being used as sources via Twitter and Facebook. It's a bad combination.
According to this brief youtube video, Coleman Key was 6'4'' and 195 lbs as a freshman in highschool. He appears to have decent touch and can throw well on the move. Go ahead and interpret the limited footage for yourself.
thing just makes me crazy. It doesn't benefit anyone except the recruiting services, both the real ones and the glorified fans. I swear, if I am ever reincarnated as a potential D1 athlete, you people are going to hate me.
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
Good point. But you might cave if you have a bunch of recruiting services and fanboys calling, texting, emailing, twittering, gchatting, and facebook-messaging you every day wondering WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SCHOOL DAWG
Not to be a Debbie-downer but Laquon Treadwell
is reminding me of Jordan Diamond from last year. A heavy Michigan lean for months on end and then.......Ace, thanks for all your updates, they're excellent!
This is a COMPLETELY different situation...
- I don't think most of us ever considered Treadwell a heavy lean
- Treadwell has maintained that he's going to take his visits (I'm assuming he's going to Michigan, OK, OKST, UF and LSU...if he cancels any of those (outside of Michigan) then it's just gravy)
- He's gotten advice to just take his time, and that's what he's done...even though if it is clear that Michigan is the currently leader
Also Diamond ended up at Auburn and there are rumors (I'm sure you can find them if you search hard enough) as to how he ended up at Auburn. Diamond was a heavy Michigan lean, then he went silent, then in the last couple of weeks Michigan was neck-and-neck with everyone else until they were eventually surpassed. If I remember correctly, he didn't even sign on Signing Day (or any other day he said he would).
Diamond was clearly playing games, being uncertain, and/or not telling the whole truth during his recruitment.
Treadwell has changed his mind a little bit, but he's certainly done what he's said he's going to do. Treadwell's recruitment reminds me of Chris Wormley.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
I agree that Treadwell is more Wormley than Diamond.
Another big difference - before Diamond committed, we got commitments from a massive OT (Braden), a highly touted top-50 OT (Magnuson), a 5-star OT/OG (Kalis) and another 4-star-ish OT (Bars). Not to mention Stacey was still committed then. If we were still in major need of an OT, the coaches and players may have put more heat on Diamond like they're doing to guys like Treadwell and Green now, or he would have felt better about his spot on the team. As it stood, he would have been the sixth OL commit, with a few of them rated higher than he was.
That whole situation could have discouraged a once-lock to look elsewhere. This is not the case with Treadwell, luckily.
Very interesting takes from both you and Mr. Yost. Thanks, I feel better!

I hope Shane has a chance to take some days off...he's looked absolutely burnt out between The Opening and this Gridiron Kings. I haven't seen him smile less since we've recruited him.
I really wish he and Treadwell would've been in A2 for the BBQ with the guys instead.
I think HS ball will be a good change for him, but he'll have more eyes/pressure on him this year than ever before. Hopefully he and his family can just take a week or two from all of the attention, drama, etc. and just relax.
I'm starting to feel like a redshirt year isn't in Shane's absolute best interest...just to take a year to focus a little less on football, more on class and being a college kid.
I'm probably looking into things too much, but his body language, not smiling, lack of energy...it's noticable. Seems like he's going through the motions sometimes (which is still DAMN good). Hopefully he can shut it down and then go be with teammates both this year and when he's in Ann Arbor for 3-5 years.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
Is Behemoth a town in Georgia, description of Orlando, or both?
It looks like they are starting to work the bugs out as the rankings have changed (changes noted in bold--all upgrades). As expected the differences are in the bottom half of the rankings (players on the border or outside top150-300 lists). The largest changes are on the guys toward the bottom of the list. Not sure what data they are using to rank these players (using either position rankings or just solely player ratings/stars).

A couple of people brought up the possibility of McQuay being told to decide now or there might not be a spot before Douglas committed. Each time they were down voted on this site, with people saying it was obvious McQuay was told this after Douglas came on board. The quote above from McQuay's dad sure makes it sound like it was before Douglas dropped and that it had nothing to do with a potential commitment from Green.
I was on Scout a little bit ago and there is a paywalled article that says: Per Sam Webb: UMs position w/Treadwell 'has eroded." I was curious if any of the readers here have any clue what the article says.

We went for a quick one night away from home. This is our second visit and enjoyed a nice quiet evening. Paul is a wonderful host! Breakfast was outstanding both times we were there. The grounds are lovely. There is a lot to do in the area from walking at Meadowbrook to Oakland University to Great Lakes Crossing Outlets.

When word got out that (evil) cosmetics giant L'Oréal was acquiring animal-friendly company (and peta2 fave!) Urban Decay, fans were outraged—and rightfully so—over what this might mean for Urban Decay's longstanding commitment to remaining on the cruelty-free list.
For all those worrying, fear not! Urban Decay will remain cruelty-free! The maker of all those liners, shadows, and glosses you can't resist assured PETA in writing that its animal testing policy will not change. Hooray! So shop on, my fashionista friends, and remember always to buy cruelty-free for the sake of animals everywhere.

Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Economic advisor Dr. Luke Tilley told Kutztown area business owners that the economic news has improved over the past year.
A regional economic advisor with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Tilley recently presented the Economic Outlook for 2013. This was his third time being asked by the Northeast Berks Chamber of Commerce to present the annual fiscal outlook.
The economy is in better shape than we were a year ago when I spoke to your group, said Tilley.
Talking about the unemployment rate and the housing market, he said there are a lot of parts of the economy that have yet to return to normal, even though they have improved over the past year.
Things have certainly improved, he said. But we still have a long way to go. Were not back to normal. Were not in full use of the capacity of our economy.
When asked about inflation, he said the inflation rate for consumers is around 2 percent right now and is expected to stay under control between 1.5 and 2 percent over the next year.
Tilley noted that the opinions expressed were his own and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve.
The goal of the Federal Reserve and this outreach program is to give businesses and consumers an idea of where the Federal Reserve sees the economy and how the Federal Reserve policy is trying to achieve the goals of Congress that weve been given, Tilley said after the presentation.
He hopes chamber members have a better idea of the current economic situation and how the Federal Reserve is trying to encourage growth while keeping inflation in check, he said.
Chamber Executive Director Tammy Gore thanked Tilley for once again sharing his presentation with the chamber.
We love having Dr. Luke Tilley, said Gore. You get a sense of the direction. It sounds like things are improving, not as fast as we would like them to, but it seems like were going in the right direction.
She said Tilley has a wealth of knowledge.
I hope everyone walked away with something that they can apply in their thinking when they go back to their businesses, said Gore. I would think there was something in that presentation for everybody.
Held at Kutztown University in the Student Union Buildings Multipurpose Room, Fleetwood Bank sponsored the chambers January Membership Meeting and Breakfast.

Closer To Truth explores fundamental issues of universe, brain/mind, religion, meaning and purpose through intimate, candid conversations with leading scientists, philosophers, scholars, theologians and creative thinkers of all kinds. The shows are a rich visual experience, shot entirely on location in high definition with multiple cameras generating film-like production values. The visual lushness of the high definition, on-location productions, combined with the intriguing titles of the shows, builds audiences already interested in such perennial topics. Each 30-minute episode features four to seven of the world's foremost thinkers. The series as a whole features 128 such authorities in what we believe to be the most comprehensive and definitive treatment of these topics ever presented in visual or electronic media.

Save the baby, not the wash | Letters
November 15, 2012 · 8:59 AM
One message of the past local election seems to be the miscalculation of the depth of dissatisfaction among voting residents of the San Juan Islands with their County Council members.
Not only were both incumbents dumped, but with the charter change the entire council will be upended when Proposition 1 becomes effective.
Post mortem over the election will go on for a long time and blame or dissatisfaction will be handed around in ample amounts. Clearly the unrest and vocal opposition to the critical areas ordinance and its endless public hearings on incomprehensible details ran deeper than the council members realized.
The repeated question of "What is the problem we are trying to correct?" resonated with a larger group than just those who packed the public hearings. Questions about the validity of what was presented as "best available science" continues to cloud the larger issue of what can and should be done to preserve and protect our environment.
Yet aside from these issues is the embarrassing revelation that for some time, truly professional guidance for the county council has been sorely absent.
Now the county is moving into a new phase of governing by full-time council persons that have yet to define the role of the staff person that they will need to turn to for advice on a wide range of problems.
Whether called a manager or administrator makes little difference. This person's qualifications and authority to reign in and organize a currently dysfunctional governmental organization looms as a far more important issue than whether you have three or six council members.
The issue of the role of the new position of manager is not one that should be agreed upon in a smoke-filled room. Quality personnel and efficient governance is a public matter and should be dealt with in a public manner.
Candidates for the three new full-time positions should be questioned on this most important issue.
It is no longer time to question whether Proposition 1 was good or bad.
It is our responsibility to ensure that it works as well as possible and that it is capable of establishing a level of county government that is knowledgeable, transparent and free of political interference.
Don Pollard/San Juan Island

What a difference a year makes. I walked into the same hotel and a room that seemed identical to the one I stayed during the last CES. Then, I began noticing differences: a wall-mounted widescreen TV, a clock radio with an iPod dock, and a sign on the now tube-free bureau proclaiming wireless high-speed Internet access. Had I died and gone to heaven on the Vegas Strip?

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. Leukemia begins when normal blood cells change and grow uncontrollably. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer of the blood-forming cells, called myeloid cells, found in the bone marrow (the spongy, red tissue in the inner part of large bones). CML most often causes an increase in the number of white blood cells (neutrophils or granulocytes that normally fight infection). It is also sometimes called chronic granulocytic, chronic myelocytic, or chronic myelogenous leukemia. CML makes up about 9% of leukemias.
About the Philadelphia Chromosome
People with CML have an acquired genetic abnormality or mutation in their bone marrow cells, in which part of one chromosome (a long strand of genes) breaks off and reattaches to another chromosome. This is called a translocation. In CML, part of chromosome 9 breaks off and bonds to a section of chromosome 22, resulting in what is called the Philadelphia chromosome or Ph chromosome. The translocation t(9;22) causes two genes called BCR and ABL to become one fusion gene called BCR-ABL. This mutation is found only in the blood-forming cells, not in other organs of the body, and it is not inherited. Therefore, there is no concern about an increased risk to other family members. The BCR-ABL gene causes myeloid cells to make an abnormal enzyme that allows white blood cells to grow out of control.
About CML
Ordinarily, the number of white blood cells is tightly controlled by the bodyâmore white blood cells are produced during infections or times of stress, but then the numbers return to normal when the infection is cured. In CML, the abnormal BCR-ABL enzyme is like a switch that is stuck in the "on" positionâit keeps stimulating the white blood cells to grow and multiply. In addition to increased white blood cells, the number of blood platelets (cells that help the blood to clot) often increase, and the number of red blood cells, which carry oxygen, may decrease.

I've been battling with this for quite some time now and, I'm ready to put all of my emotions out there and hopefully gain some connection to those who've been through something like this. My name is Briana, I'm 5'6" and I weigh 274 pounds.
When I was 6, my mother put me on my first official diet and, from then on, it's been an uphill battle of fighting what seems to be the inevitable. It's a constant cycle of her finding a new diet (this time it'll be easier Briana! Just put the effort forth), giving me a big and grandiose speech about how we're going to work 'together' to lose the weight, both of us using the new program for a few months, her deciding that she's done and binge eating, and then me following in her footsteps because I have no choice since she stops buying the diet food. In between all of this my mother always makes comments about my weight, my looks, my 'laziness', and my dedication. And it hurts.
I've self harmed for about the past four year because I just could never, and really I still can't, accept the idea that I'm okay the way I am. Mostly because I've never been told by my mother that I'm fine the way I am. It's always, "Your eyes are so beautiful, but your cheeks are a little round." or, "Don't worry we'll get the weight off before Prom so you can look beautiful in your dress.", and finally "You're gorgeous Briana! You just need to lose some weight and you'll be happy."
I've struggled through depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia for years now and I've kept it all bottled inside of me until around November. I walked up to my mother and showed her my scars, my cuts, and my pain. I refrained from telling her about my mini-battle with bulimia because I didn't think she could handle it and I was able to overcome that myself a few years prior. While she was upset, of course, she couldn't risk pointing the blame to herself. I told her that I hate myself, I told her that I purposefully walk certain ways so I don't accidentally see my reflection, I told her that I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin that it doesn't even feel like me.
Her reaction was, "Obviously this is because of your weight! We're starting a new diet tomorrow." And thus, the cycle started again. I've been suffering in silence for so long and while I definitely want to lose weight, I don't want to do it for these reasons. It feels wrong to force this upon myself when I'm still battling so many other demons and I'm terrified that if I do manage to shed some pounds it'll send me into a horrible remission. I never feel like I'm good enough for her and it's reached it's boiling point.
I'm not afraid to say this, I hate my mother. I love her because I have too but, I hate her for what she's done. I hate her because I can't even tell her about any of this because she'll spiral out of control and put the blame on me while simultaneously making it about her. This has all come to a head in the past month and I'm doing my best to skate by. I'm going to college in a year so, hopefully I can manage. I'm still on the diet and I can already feel a sort of remission beginning, and not because I want it. Because my body is so preconditioned to punishing itself when these things occur. I've lost my appetite completely, I've been taking a surplus of vitamins and pills to upset my stomach so I don't want to eat, and I only consume anything at dinner because my parents are both around.
A majority of this submission was to vent, as well as finally lay all of my cards out on the table and hopefully finds someone that understands me. My mother always asks me who my hero is and she scolds me when I don't say it's her. But how could she be my hero when one of my only goals in life is too never become her? So my question, pulled away from all of this emotion is, When does it stop becoming motherly love and start becoming bullying?

At last! The final installment of Christine's 'Adventure Apprentice' blog.
So, the last blog saw Christine about to board the train with her tour group to make the final journey back to Delhi - but did she manage to get all of them on the train and back to the end point??? "Hi Everyone I am sorry about the late delivery of this ... the final chapter of Explore ! 1st Adventure apprentice journey to India..... so at last without further a do ...here it is .
So the morning of the final full day ... I am now in charge of 14 passengers and we are about to board a train from Jaipur to Delhi..with Fayaaz our caretaker. Fayaaz is pleasant enough but doesn't have much to say... and I ve had it on good authority from Rafeeq that he is a train journey expert so with this in mind the group and I are dropped off at the station with a lot of big hugs and fond farewells to our unforgettable friends Rafeeq, Irshad, and the forever smiling suman, not to mention the other guests who are lucky enough to be going on to new adventures...we are now in unchartered territory! Its quite early and the platform is seemingly empty for the 0815 Delhi express...we are able to purchase some snacks from the ever grateful man in the Kiosk ..who seems to find 14 English folk all trying to buy biscuits and crisps in various flavours and indefinable packets quite amusing !! so with our various unexplained flavours clutched we head off back to the platform, to wait for the unexpected. At 0800 a train, pulls onto our platform ....... ok we all look at each other...it cant be ours our train is 0815 we are standing right under the sign that tells us the exact carriage that should pull up in front of us is B1 ..we are B1 but B1 doesn't pull up beside us and I cant see Fayaaz for people ..he is lost in the massive throng of colour who have leapt off the train and onto the station it is pandemonium. I spot Fayaaz and sure enough he is waving at me from a carriage (not B1) to get on ...i call the group tell them to grab their luggage and just get on the train !!! with a few bewildered looks everyone rallies and tries to climb aboard....I am using the term try as this was virtually impossible hundreds of people and their luggage....(Indians love Bundles remember)..in all different colours shapes and sizes were trying to get off at the same time as we were trying to get on .....we were crushed up against everything and everyone ..and we still had to try and navigate our way on the train to find carriage B1 where we would hopefully find our seats for the 6hr journey !!
I couldn't find Fayaaz ....he was last seen beckoning me from the train door whilst we were still on the platform...in the rush and the crush of trying to board the train I had lost sight of him, I did however have the entire group in a line behind me with all their luggage. I advised them to follow me we would walk down the train through all the people and their bundles of life which they all seem to be travelling with,to try and find B1. Now trains in India are not the same as trains anywhere else. This particular train was a sleeper..so getting through the carriages was even more tricky ..people everywhere in triple decks seemingly dangling in blankets & sheets with naked children, food and general chaos everywhere with indescribable smells and sounds and there we were 15 brits trying to barge our way through .... with suitcases and a few polite excuses me's .
It was about 2 carriages down and the train starts to move.... we still haven't found B1 or Fayaaz...!! It was at this point a rather kind Indian man in perfect English asked me if I need some help...he gently advises me that B1 is 3 carriages behind us ...i thank him profusely and about turn the group and advise them to go back 3 carriages....where we find Fayaaz sitting in our reserved seats waiting for us rather bemused as to where we had been .. I point out to him that this carriage isn't B1 as the number on the wall indicates something totally different...in true Indian style !
A conductor sees my confusion and advises calmly that this is B1 but cant explin why the carriage says something different ... t i i everyone ! So at last I am able to allocate the group into their seats a group of 6 in one compartment a group of 4 and 2 sets of 2s ..we are all near each other and we are surrounded by indian families on the bunks above and around us, all sitting crossed legged children grandparents having breakfast having just woken up sheets and blankets dangling at all angles whilst others snored.
In true british style, as soon as the call of the Chai seller arrives from down the carriage up goes our hands, out come our rupees and our biscuits are opened in a flash ..sitting there enjoying the moment with a cup of sweet Indian chai discussing the events that saw us all nearly miss the train over the Indian equivalent of a digestive !! You certainly see life whilst sat on Indian trains and you certainly smell it too... if its not walking down a platform then its walking through your carriage.....absolutely fascinating...you can buy anything from a Sari to Jaffa cakes...most of the carriages have seen better days too,as the majority of the windows are barely see through ...if they aren't broken (shattered)then they are just to plain dirty to get any glimpse of the outside world from. Just dont go to the toilet unless your eyes are shut and your stomache is strong .....
The 6hrs go by quite quickly, we are all to busy talking reading going through our photographs...to notice that Fayaaz is indicating that ours is the next stop and that the train only gives us 2 mins to get off... so here we go again ..everyone in a line all our luggage ..we have decided that the girls should just make a run for it leaving the guy's with the luggage as this will mean less people in the way of the doors...it works like clockwork as planned al the girls get off the men then left behind passing the luggage from the train door into a group heap, the girls then distributing it ..with everyone off and our luggage allocated its back to a bus to navigate our way through the Delhi traffic back to the Hans Plaza for our final night.
We all arrived safe and sound at the Hans Plaza where I check everybody in as usual. I ask the group if they had any thought on how or what they would like to do for their final afternoon ...shopping is the overriding agenda..I advise that I know just the place, there is an amazing fair-trade fix priced emporium in the heart of Delhi, this is 7 floors of souvenir heaven, and its round the corner form the Hotel we could all walk as a group do some shopping and come back in time for a final meal. Its agreed so with everyone back to their rooms for a quick re fresh ...In true Chachi style a group expedition to the shopping emporium, a huge success as we were all finally separated from our remaining rupees.
The last supper was had in the same restaurant where we had all started ...more curry and beer and much reflection from the last 9 days, tomorrow was the long journey home back to the reality that had sent us there. The End
I would just like to take this moment to say a couple of things to several people....
Firstly to Explore ! who saw qualities in me that I never knew I had ... I would like to say a massive thank you for all you have done and for the once in a lifetime opportunity you have given me ..I will never ever forget any of this from the Boardroom to the Departure Lounge..it has been one of the most amazing things I have ever done..
Secondly ..to all in the group who embraced the concept and Me personally into their world ...for the best trip ..I only hope that I had the same positive impact on you as you did to me ... Thank you one and all ..I havent laughed for that long in my life.
Last but not least...to Rafeeq, Irshad, and Suman ..and all those at Sea & Sky who allowed this to happen ...and who supported me throughout ..I am only as good as those I follow....Rafeeq you are a gentleman and a professional I feel honoured to have worked with you !! Suman may your water bottles never run empty and Irshad may your tyres remain forever round.
All my love Christine" Christine took part in our 'Adventure Apprentice' competition for which the prize was to be an Explore tour leader for a one-off Explore tour in India 'Moghul Highights'.

Drive down the main drag of Salley, S.C. and you'd quickly come to the conclusion there isn't much going on. Sure, there's a post office in this town of about 400 people as well as a convenience store/gas station and a restaurant named Frogs. But every Saturday after Thanksgiving about 25,000 people descend on this sleepy southern town to party down at the Chitlin' Strut. For the uninformed, chitlins are pig intestines that when fried or boiled become a traditional delicacy served during the holidays.
People find all kinds of madcap reasons to celebrate, hence the existence of festivals in honor of spam, outhouses and fire ants. However, I know of no other one dedicated to eating swine innards. I'd say it was poppycock, except I saw it with my own eyes. After climbing down from our treestands, my husband and I headed into Salley, the town closest to our hunt club, for a bite to eat and to witness the 44th Annual Chitlin' Strut.
First, people watching at the Strut made my airport observations seem like a total snooze. There was a fellow dressed like Michael Jackson from his early '90s phase when he looked like his sister LaToya. Also present was a guy who dressed and acted like a Hee Haw cast member circa 1969.There were disco divas, hunters in camo, teenage boys in droopy drawers, jogging suits, pajama pants and jeans worn so tight you know they'd eventually cause a medical emergency. There was even someone tooling around in a motorized scooter with a crazy animal print cover.
But the real feast wasn't for the eyes, it was for the snout. Because the odor wafting out of the kitchen where the cooks prepared the chitlins was reminiscent of, well, excrement. Yet the line for chitlin dinners extended for blocks. In fact, the Augusta Chronicle reported about 4,000 pounds of chitlins were served, presumably covered in hot sauce, vinegar or something to distract the eater's sense of smell.
While there were all kinds of goings-on associated with the festival including bands, carnival rides, a parade, beauty pageant, tractor show and craft fair, the crown jewel of the Strut was the first ever chitlin-eating contest. Sanctioned by the World League of Competitive Eating, this was no two-bit affair. When the nine contestants stepped up to the table, the crowd surged forward and it was game on. For 10 minutes the competitors gorged themselves to the delight and horror of the crowd. Dale Boone, the reigning world champion of the WLOCE claimed the $1,000 first prize by gobbling up 3 ¼ pounds of hog entrails.
I had briefly entertained the idea of trying a bite of chitlins, until I witnessed the eating contest. Watching people shovel handfuls of smelly pork guts into their kissers was all I needed to convince myself this was one culinary adventure I could skip.
Even though I'm no fan of chitlins, the Strut was a lot of fun. People put away their worries and troubles for a day to laugh with their friends, listen to music, dance and eat. Somewhere else in this country others are probably rejoicing over other edible piggy parts including hog jowls, ham hocks, pig's feet, cracklins, and maybe even chops, bacon and ribs. That's one thing you gotta love about porkers. They're the epitome of gastronomic diversity, suitable to eat "from the rooter to the tooter."

I use the TMCM310 and want to use the Stall-Guard Function. When I use the Adjusting Tool from the TMCL-ID Software I get mostly the values 0 or 1 for the motor load which is absolutely ok. But when I activate the Stall-guard-function the motor will stop before there is some higher load, although the Tool shows the value 1 or there is only a very short peak of the load value.
Is there a possibility to filter the Stall-guard-values to get a more usable function. This ist happening when the motor has no load at all just as well as its used in my application.
I hope someone can actually help my
Kind regards

The Palestinian filmmaker Emad Burnat, who had a hard time convincing immigration officers at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday that his invitation to this weekend's Academy Awards was real, described his brief detention in a statement on Wednesday.
Last night, on my way from Turkey to Los Angeles, my family and I were held at U.S. immigration for about an hour and questioned about the purpose of my visit to the United States. Immigration officials asked for proof that I was nominated for an Academy Award for the documentary "5 Broken Cameras," and they told me that if I couldn't prove the reason for my visit, my wife Soraya, my son Gibreel and I would be sent back to Turkey on the same day.
After 40 minutes of questions and answers, Gibreel asked me why we were still waiting in that small room. I simply told him the truth: "Maybe we'll have to go back." I could see his heart sink. Although this was an unpleasant experience, this is a daily occurrence for Palestinians, every single day, throughout the West Bank. There are more than 500 Israeli checkpoints, roadblocks, and other barriers to movement across our land, and not a single one of us has been spared the experience that my family and I experienced yesterday. Ours was a very minor example of what my people face every day.
As my colleague Jennifer Schuessler reported, Mr. Burnat, who was nominated along with his Israeli co-director Guy Davidi for his autobiographical film about the difficulties of life in the occupied West Bank, was eventually released after a previous winner of the Oscar for best documentary, Michael Moore, managed to get a lawyer for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to intervene.
In a post on his blog, Mr. Moore explained that he was waiting for the Palestinian filmmaker at a dinner for nominees when he received an urgent appeal for help.
I received an urgent text from Emad, written to me from a holding pen at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Here is what it said, in somewhat broken English: "Urgent – I am in the air port la they need more information why I come here. Invitation or some thing. Can you help they will send us back. If you late, Emad."
I quickly texted him back and told him that help was on the way. He wrote back to say Immigration and Customs was holding him, his wife, Soraya, and their 8-year old son (and "star" of the movie) Gibreel in a detention room at LAX. He said they would not believe him when he told them he was an Oscar-nominated director on his way to this Sunday's Oscars and to the events in LA leading up to the ceremony. He is also a Palestinian. And a olive farmer. Apparently that was too much for Homeland Security to wrap its head around.

"It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small"
Chance Meeting!
For the Active signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): The chemistry in your workplace is off on Monday and Tuesday, further complicating everything. Wednesday and Thursday are weird and cloudy, and Friday finds you strangely torn between two friends. All of this oddness adds up to a weekend in which you may not feel like doing anything more than sticking around the house and chilling out.
For the Determined signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): It doesn't really matter what you do at the start of the week — you're going to have a good time regardless. Wednesday and Thursday will be interesting but not in ways you like — stubbornness and greediness are double-whammy themes. But Friday you'll get to go to a lecture that taxes your brain in beautiful ways.
For the Flexible signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): If there's a pizza in your life Monday, don't dawdle when it's time to take your share — or you might not get any at all. On Tuesday, there's tension between you and your coworkers, but by Wednesday, you've turned that on its head, thanks to the force of your personality. Friday and the weekend require you to be in constant communication with others.
Here's a video from the Oregon Zoo that will make you wonder why you haven't been playing with wood chips. Too CUTE!

Affluence and its impact on scoiety.
Does affluence make people lazy and less motivated to strive for excellence in academics ? is there any correlation ?
Just want some opinion or articles that i can read. |
Jul25-12, 10:36 PM | #2 |
I think it all depends on your personal motivation for doing things. I've seen lazy rich people, lazy poor people, and everything in between.
Jul27-12, 07:38 PM | #3 |
Guess you work harder at school if you need the education to get a good material life, but at least where I am from you don't work to succeed in academia because of the money.

Affluence and its impact on scoiety. |
Aug7-12, 11:45 AM | #5 |
I've never seen statistics on this. I'd be interested if there are any.
I know there's a correlation between affluence, intelligence, and education. These all make sense. I don't know how laziness fits in, though. As far as motivation goes, there's a TED talk about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation. Basically, does money motivate people, and if not, what does? He argues that reward/punishment motivation is only effective if thought/creativity is not involved. When thought/creativity is involved, he says that reward/punishment reduces productivity. Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose are the three elements of intrinsic motivation, which he says is far more important. Based on the above reasoning, you could say that affluent people will already have a greater degree of autonomy, and therefore less motivation. |

An early morning attic fire Friday morning destroyed a double-wide mobile home, despite the efforts of the six fire departments that battled it.
Ark Matthews, chief of the Clement Fire Department, said Saturday that the blaze began around 8 a.m. Friday at the residence located at 659 Welcome School Road, that is just east of Rebel City but listed as an Autryville address.
"It was a total loss," he explained. "The fire got up in the attic, however, it didn't spread to the living room area."
Matthews said that because of the quick response time and the combined effort of departments from Herring, Salemburg, Autryville, Bethany and Godwin-Falcon, they managed to salvage 75 percent of the furniture that was in the residence.
"There was a good group of people out there working together to get the fire put out," he said. "There was smoke showing when we arrived, about 13 minutes after the first call, we tore off the roof and it was a total loss, but we did manage to save some of their furniture."
Matthews said that there were no injuries reported in the incident and there will be no further investigation from department officials.
"From what we see it was purely accidental," he said, without explaining the origin of the blaze. "There was nothing to indicate any foul play whatsoever."

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In some cases, the heart can't fill with enough blood. In other cases, the heart can't pump blood to the rest of the body with enough force. Some people have both problems.
The term "heart failure" doesn't mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. However, heart failure is a serious condition that requires medical care.
Heart failure develops over time as the heart's pumping action grows weaker. The condition can affect the right side of the heart only, or it can affect both sides of the heart. Most cases involve both sides of the heart.
Right-side heart failure occurs if the heart can't pump enough blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Left-side heart failure occurs if the heart can't pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
Right-side heart failure may cause fluid to build up in the feet, ankles, legs, liver, abdomen, and the veins in the neck. Right-side and left-side heart failure also may cause shortness of breath and fatigue (tiredness).
The leading causes of heart failure are diseases that damage the heart. Examples include coronary heart disease (CHD), high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Heart failure is a very common condition. About 5.8 million people in the United States have heart failure.
Both children and adults can have the condition, although the symptoms and treatments differ. This article focuses on heart failure in adults.
Currently, heart failure has no cure. However, treatments—such as medicines and lifestyle changes—can help people who have the condition live longer and more active lives. Researchers continue to study new ways to treat heart failure and its complications.
Interested in learning more about heart disease in women? View a Storify archive of a September 28, 2012, Twitter chat on women's heart health. The discussion includes experts from The Heart Truth®, Million Hearts™, healthfinder.gov, and the American College of Cardiology's CardioSmart™
