Monday Presser Transcript 10-7-13: Brady Hoke
Boo boos:
- Jake Ryan has been cleared to play.
- Ondre Pipkins tore his ACL.
"It was very good to win this past weekend. Homecoming, the Brown Jug, multiple things that were good. There was improvement, which you want every week. Fundamentally and with technique. We have to continue that with all positions. Two penalties and no turnovers, probably as much as anything besides winning, was very good for us as a football team and something for us to make sure that we pay attention to. I think we do, but the significance of that was huge to be plus two in turnover margin."
Losing Ondre Pipkins, how does that affect what you guys do?
"Well, Richard Ash … We have some multiple guys. Willie Henry can play the three. Ryan Glasgow. Your heart just goes out to Ondre. Any guy that gets hurts, obviously. It's something that is a little bit of adversity for him obviously and for our team. Just like anything else, we'll work together and get through it."
Is that past the redshirt deadline?
"That's all something that we'll have to appeal and do all that stuff with. It's way too soon to say it is or isn't."
Necessary But Not Sufficient
10/5/2013 – Michigan 42, Minnesota 13 – 5-0, 1-0 Big Ten
Eric Upchurch
Jon Falk has a compatriot at Minnesota. He's probably had a dozen over his 40 years as Michigan's equipment manager. Some guy who comes in with the latest Gopher coaching staff, wonders what it's like to hold the jug in his meaty palm, and maybe once gets to shepherd it for a year. Since Falk arrived at Michigan a fresh-faced young thing four years into Bo's career, his opposite number has had this experience three times.
In proof lingo, this means that beating Minnesota—beating up on Minnesota, usually—is a necessary but not sufficient property of Michigan teams that want to do anything with their seasons. Sometimes you can retain the Jug despite not being very good; sometimes you can retain the jug despite being headed for 3-9 because Nick Sheridan has an out-of-body experience. When you're headed for 3-9 you get a little misty about the Jug coming out. When you're not the worst team in Ann Arbor since the 1930s it's a checkbox to fill out.
Michigan did so in perfunctory style, grinding out a second half in which they went from vaguely threatened to bored. Since this came on the heels of narrow escapes against teams that lost 43-3 to Ohio on Saturday and 41-12 to Buffalo last week, it's progress. How much is unknown.
This game settled into a grim fugue state almost from the drop, as Michigan manballed its way into the endzone on a Statement Drive to start the game. Unfortunately, that Statement was "by putting Taylor Lewan next to Michael Schofield we can bull our way down the field against Minnesota." That statement is unlikely to apply to many teams on the schedule. But, hey, progress.
Then Minnesota donned turbans and embarked on the Ishtar Drive. An epic production galaxy-spanning in its dullness that arrived at its destination two hours too late and failed to have the desired impact, it ate up the rest of the quarter. Michigan left it without having attempted a pass.
This was a little dull.
It was the kind of dull that had Space Coyote, the Michigan's blogosphere's resident instant analysis savant, pleading with the masses that the intricacies of a well-blocked power play were just as appealing as, say, watching 175-pound Venric Mark activate his truck stick on an Ohio State safety. I can't imagine there's another Michigan fan in the world more receptive to that argument than yours truly and even I wasn't buying that as the secondary effect of all that manball kicked in: punt, commercial, play, end of quarter, commercial, play play, punt, commercial. Touchdown, commercial, kickoff, commercial—the NFL special. As the teams' attempt to blow through this game in record time was thwarted by the networks, being in Michigan Stadium became the worst concert of all time interrupted by bouts of football-related activity.
It was the kind of thing that made you consider what the purpose of your fandom was. Am I only here to see Michigan end a game with a larger number on the scoreboard than Opponent? Is there any valid goal outside of this? Am I a bad fan for wishing something interesting would happen? Do the people on twitter who scorn you for having feelings other than Go Team have a point? What is the point of any of this, and why can't they make the wifi work?
At halftime, the guys in front of me discussed whether they would bolt for Frazer's, and two did. I'm usually a guy who thinks leaving an athletic event before it's decided is a mortal sin, but I kind of envied the guy in the home-made muscle shirt screwing off to a place where he could get a beer and not hear "Build Me Up, Buttercup." At any other time, I would have thought this man's attendance at Michigan Stadium was a necessary property of a fan that he had just shown was not sufficient by leaving a touchdown game at halftime like he was a sorority girl about to blow a .341. On Saturday, I was with him in spirit.
This is a fearful development. I don't want to think like that. I want to be forever ten years old, excited by everything. On Saturday I had a long look down the elevator shaft.
It'll pass like the moment above did. Someone will do something interesting, and there will be something at stake other than a piece of crockery that just means you're not horrible, and sometimes not even that. I had a bad day, I was pissed at Dave Brandon when I discovered I was thirsty but knew I couldn't do anything about it without missing a large chunk of the game I was there to see even if it was narcoleptic, I was emo after the last few weeks of expectation-depressing terror. It'll pass, and the doors will close on the moment where I reached out and felt the slight outlines of a limit to my fandom.
Michigan won by a lot, eventually.
Completely one-sided highlights:
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. Has to be Michigan's new favorite worst nightmare at wide receiver: Devin Funchess. Relieved of many blocking duties and deployed on the outside, Funchess displayed fantastic hands on a couple of catches outside of his body, ran routes that got him tons of separation, and went right by a Minnesota cornerback(!) on a straight-up fly route(!) to prove himself Michigan's best deep threat(?). By the end of the game he had newspaper types plumbing the statistical depths for completely invalid comparisons to Jim Mandich, who was a tight end, which Devin Funchess is not.
Honorable mention: No Turnovers, which may be Devin Gardner's temporary name until such point as he turns it over. Schofield and Lewan were mashing as tackle brothers. Blake Countess did have a pick six, albeit one of no importance. James Ross and Desmond Morgan had lots of tackles, usually at the LOS when not facing spread formations.
Epic Double Point Standings.
1.0: Devin Gardner (ND), Jeremy Gallon (ND), Desmond Morgan(UConn), Devin Funchess(Minnesota)
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
I guess? [Upchurch]
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. Wow. Are we at a loss here? We might be at a loss here. Countess's interception was after the game was decided, as was the long Funchess fly route thing. Michigan's longest run went for not many yards. I guess we're going with Fitzgerald Toussaint scoring an easy ten-yard touchdown, as it hinted that Michigan may be able to run the ball forward? Yeah, okay.
Honorable mention: Funchess reception, pick one. Countess pick. Black FF.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
8/31/2013: Dymonte Thomas introduces himself by blocking a punt.
9/7/2013: Jeremy Gallon spins through four Notre Dame defenders for a 61-yard touchdown.
9/14/2013: Michigan does not lose to Akron. Thanks, Thomas Gordon.
9/21/2013: Desmond Morgan's leaping one-handed spear INT saves Michigan's bacon against UConn.
10/5/2013: Fitzgerald Toussaint runs for ten yards, gets touchdown rather easily.
[After THE JUMP: actual game analysis instead of pathetic emo self-pity mooning!]
Minnesota Postgame Presser: Brady Hoke and the Devins
Brady Hoke
Funchess is listed as a tight end, but you played him as a wide receiver. Was that the plan?
"Well we obviously planned it that way. Getting him out on the perimeter a little bit, a mismatch in a lot of ways because he runs awfully well. He's a big target. And then we get into the 11 personnel and he'll be a tight end. Just trying to really take advantage of his skill sets."
No turnovers coming out of a bye week has to be a big plus.
"It's huge. No turnovers. Had two penalties. So I think that speaks to how these guys have really worked. The bye week, I thought, came at a good time for us in a lot of ways. It was good to see us respond."
It's one thing to have a plan, but another to execute it. You obviously want to get the running game going. Can you talk about how that played out?
"Well we wanted to run the ball. We wanted to send that message. I thought we did a pretty good job of it. We didn't have as much yardage probably as we'd like to have from that aspect, but I really believe the threat was there consistently throughout the game that we were going to run the football. I think tackles for loss, I think there were three until the last when we were milking the clock at the end. I thought it worked out well."
Picture Pages: Folding Back
This space mentions all the time that in Mattison's defense the usual end/tackle distinction for the four guys on the defensive line is not a good representation of how similar or interchangeable those guys are. The nose stands alone; the SDE and 3TECH are kind of the same player, and the WDE and SAM are kind of the same player.
A primary reason for this is that Michigan runs a ton of defensive plays on which the SDE/3T and WDE/SAM switch roles. These are so common that they have a mascot around these parts: Slanty The Gecko, who was inexplicably the first Google hit for "line slant football" a ways back. This is another Slanty post.
I've covered this ground before, but to reiterate: a slant is an aggressive defense designed to get penetration as offensive linemen are surprised by the gap the defender tries to fill. This can lead to unblocked defenders—and big cutback lanes. Unless the offensive line makes the on-the-fly adjustment they lose a blocking angle at best, and then you've got a free hitter… as long as your linebackers understand what's going on in front of them and present themselves at the spot they should.
I'm revisiting this because the UConn game provided a look at what happens to the WDE when the playcall asks him to become the SAM. Both of these plays are Frank Clark-centric; as is often the case, this means one is good, one is bad.
The Good Part
First quarter, second and four on the UConn 29. they come out in four-wide. Michigan shows five in the box with linebackers over the slots.
That safety is a bit of a giveaway that Michigan will bring Beyer off the edge.
On the snap, Michigan does send Beyer; simultaneously UConn sends a slot guy in motion, threatening a jet sweep.
One of the primary goals with a slant is to confuse an offensive lineman expecting one assignment executing that either against air or a guy who he really can't block. Here that's going to be the right tackle. Henry, our last arrow to the bottom of the screen, is going to head outside immediately on the right guard; he needs to get upfield and be the force player.
Clark will "fold" back after taking a step past the line of scrimmage to get the right tackle to commit.
[After THE JUMP: it's like origami except someone gets buried at the end.]
Preview 2013: Defensive Tackle
Previously: Podcast 5.0, The Story, Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver, Tight End and Friends, Offensive Line.
A note before we start: this preview relies heavily on the defensive UFRs of last year because there's a convenient numerical system that does a decent job of summing up a defensive player's contributions. One caveat: the system is generous to defensive linemen and harsh to defensive backs, especially cornerbacks. A +4 for a defensive end is just okay; for a cornerback it's outstanding.
STRONG DE | Yr. | NOSE TACKLE | Yr. | 3-TECH | Yr. | WEAK DE | Yr. |
Keith Heitzman | So.* | Quinton Washington | Sr.* | Jibreel Black | Sr. | Frank Clark | Jr. |
Chris Wormley | Fr.* | Ondre Pipkins | So. | Willie Henry | Fr.* | Mario Ojemudia | So. |
Matt Godin | Fr.* | Richard Ash | Jr.* | Ryan Glasgow | Fr.*# | Taco Charlton | Fr. |
Depth chart shows everybody just because.
Michigan has promise, depth, and even experience at defensive tackle that reaches three-deep. Greg Mattison's spent fall camp telling people that he feels he can rotate three-deep everywhere across the line, and I almost believe him. Aside from nose tackle, where it's doubtful Richard Ash gets a lot of playing time, Michigan does have three guys who can play.
At nose they just have an above-average returning starter and the sophomore year of five-star Ondre Pipkins. That'll be an okay platoon, I think. Three-tech is dodgier, with 280-pound Jibreel Black trying to hold up a year after 280-pound Jibreel Black was flipped out to end late so that Washington could make his way into the lineup. Even there they've got two guys they seem to like a lot behind Black.
It's weird, I know. Get used to it: this is a preview of what it's like when Hoke's recruiting classes finally take hold.

Will Heininger's progression from guy getting blown up against EMU to serious contributor and guy you worry a bit about replacing established this site's "Heininger Certainty Principle," which states that because of Will Heininger Michigan fans should have confidence that Brady Hoke and Greg Mattison will get every ounce of talent out of their charges. That hypothesis graduated to theory when QUINTON WASHINGTON chiseled it in stone over the course of last season.
Washington was a converted offensive lineman with maybe a half-dozen snaps to his name when he was suddenly (and perhaps accidentally) announced as the starter at nose tackle when the Big Ten Network visited Michigan's practice. This caused the usual round of animated emoticons running in circles and a big "I don't know" in last year's preview:
I have no idea how Washington will do. … Washington is a redshirt junior and former touted recruit, so this could work out. Totally. Maybe.
So of course he was one of the strengths of the defense. Heininger Certainty Principle, you guys.
Washington was flat good last year. When I went back to the UFRs I had nearly as many clips for him as I did Jake Ryan, and in approximately the same proportion of good to bad. He combined power with a fair amount of penetration, and while he wasn't Mike Martin in the UFR charts he was a consistently positive presence. He was the top performer on the defense in the Alabama game, was only negative against Air Force (weird option cutting business) and Nebraska (a –1), and usually ended up solidly positive. His Notre Dame performance was a revelation:
Washington in particular was impressive with his repeated penetration. He's probably as shocked as anyone about this, so he's continually overrunning things, but whatever, man, he's blowing up blocking. I told you this would happen after UMass!
In fact I said that Washington seemed to play well but would obviously not do that against Notre Dame.
While it wasn't a secret All Big Ten season, he was probably better than any nose tackle in the league other than Kawaan Short and Jonathan Hankins. (And maybe Penn State's Jordan Hill; I didn't UFR a Penn State game last year.) Not bad for a guy who caused people to twitch a little bit when he was named the starter.
Along the way he did a number of impressive things. Here he clobbers a Purdue guard into a puller, who ends up clobbering the running back. Unsatisfied, he tries to put the guy in the band:
He gets under guys, rocks them back, and then can rip through at the proper moment:
When he got negatives, they were usually for getting hacked to the ground or not being mobile on stretch plays. Given his plus-level penetration I don't think the latter issue is set in stone. The balance thing isn't a huge problem. He's okay, he's just not Ryan Van Bergen.
Incremental improvement as a senior should get Washington's performance level to All Big Ten. As a nose tackle he may not have the requisite stats to get there, but I'll be surprised if he's not amongst the top guys in the league and a mid-round NFL draftee.
[After THE JUMP: depth! Undersized Jibreel Black! More depth! Seriously!]
Tuesday Presser Transcript 8-27-13: Greg Mattison
"Well, it's about time to start, isn't it? We're excited about it and can't wait to see what this defense plays like. I'm excited about how they've prepared, how they're working, and now we have to get that first game."
What has Channing Stribling done to put himself in position to play?
"Made plays in practice. Practiced very hard. Has picked up the defense quicker than a lot of freshmen. He's a very competitive young man. He's got good range. He's done very well."
He had good instincts in high school football. Have you seen that?
"The thing about him is he came from a very strong high school program. That high school program that he's from coaches like we coach. He understands that everything he does will be critiqued and coached and he moves onto the next one. That sometimes separates freshmen from when they play or don't play -- understanding the toughness and the scrutiny that they go under to make sure they're ready to play."

Embarkation: All of us live in Lancaster, CA so it was only a 2 hour drive down the freeway to the port of Long Beach. Carnival Cruise Lines has it's own pier, parking garage and cruise terminal. It shares the property with the Queen Mary so it is quite easy to find. After parking and locking your car you simply roll your luggage to the elevator and that lets you out in front of the cruise terminal. Carnival employees are there to direct you to the boarding line and from that point the entire process took less than 30 minutes. This was my 5th cruise and without a doubt the easiest boarding that I have ever experienced, even with 3 kids. Once aboard we dropped our hand luggage off in our cabins and went up to the buffet.
Once aboard: The ship is close to 900 feet long and rises 13 stories out of the water so it's not like the fishing boat at the lake. There several elevators to take to the correct floor, 20 in all. so moving about the ship is easy. The names of the floors is sometimes confusing, some one may tell you that you need to go to deck 10 but all of the signs call it the Lido deck. I thought that all of the meals in both the buffet and the dining room were great. The maitre d was everywhere, greeting, guiding and inspecting. The food service staff is used both in the dining rooms and the buffet and they were great. Nothing missed their attention and they just appeared out of nowhere. If you don't enjoy that type of service, go up to the Lido deck, next to the pool and have a hamburger.
My 3 grand kids, ages 8,7 & 3, all went to Camp Carnival for 3 days and loved every minute of it. They were closely watched and led in fun, games and crafts by the staff. The rest of us just read and laid around. I will say that my wife trounced me in miniature golf, but maybe next cruise I"ll get her back. One of the high points of the trip was that the children were abe to see an entire pod of dolphins from our table in the dining room, that experience couldn't be bought.
The big thing that I didn't like on the cruise was the space in my stateroom. They had build a big wood box to hold the life jackets and they placed it at the foot of the bed, effectively blocking the walk space around the bed. We had to either roll or climb over the bed to see out the window. On other ships the windows were never blocked and generally had a seat there where you could look out the window while reading or resting.

Canon EF 8-15mm f/4.0L USM Wide Fisheye Zoom Lens w/ Pouch, Cleaning kit and 3 Yr. Extended Warranty - $1121 + Shipping @ Adorama
Last edited by gabe23111; 03-14-2013 at 11:58 AM..
Not sure if there is a cover, there probably is. If anyone is considering this lens, you should consider the Sigma 8mm circular fisheye. For most fisheye purposes the Sigma is probably all you need, plus it's faster. It's a great lens and it's a fraction of the price. You can routinely get it around $500 on eBay. If you think you need a fisheye with zoom keep in mind that on a full frame body you will not get a full circle at all focal lengths (don't know if you would with a crop sensor). You only get a full circle at the widest range; at 15mm you're going to get a cropped circle similar to what you'd get with the HD Rokinon fisheye (the one with the removable hood). So as a full circle fisheye this is closer to the Sigma than you might realize. I haven't personally used the 8-15 but I have the Sigma 8mm fisheye and the HD Rokinon 8mm fighesys (and prior to that had the non-HD Rokinon). I came close to buying the Canon 8-15 but the Sigma is more than adequate. Last edited by uscpsycho; 03-14-2013 at 12:14 PM.. |

A new study takes a closer look at student absenteeism in city elementary schools.
The report from the Center for New York City Affairs at The New School says it focused on the elementary level because the problem in those schools has been largely overlooked until now.
According to the study, more than 90,000 children in grades K through 5, or about 20 percent, missed at least a month of class during the last school year.
The report says in more than 120 elementary schools, at least 30 percent of the student body was chronically absent.
Absentee problems vary widely – but the study says schools with the highest numbers tend to be in central Brooklyn, Harlem, and the South Bronx.
Researchers say causes range from personal problems to cultural misunderstandings, and that better communication between parents and principals is essential to reducing the problem.
Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott did not dispute the findings, and said the city is already looking into the problem.
"Those schools that may have students who are out for extended periods of time, really bring those students in and work with the community to make sure that those students are in school," said Walcott of the city's plan. "But our goal is to make sure that we improve education so that educational institutions are attractive places for parents and students."
The report also found that 40 percent of high school students and 24 percent of middle school students were absent for at least a month last year.

Some bands just like to be mysterious. Take Houston's Indian Jewelry for example. Although the band has been around for a little over a decade, very little biographical material is available.

Kristin Rooney, owner and CEO of the Williamsport Outlaws Professional Hockey Club issued a statement Friday afternoon following an article in Thursday's edition about a legal dispute between the nonprofit group that operates an ice rink at Bowman Field and the company that provided and installed the equipment.
"The Williamsport Outlaws are in no way part of the current litigation," she said. "The Williamsport Outlaws are simply a third-party beneficiary to the public rink. The Williamsport Outlaws are a tenant of the city of Williamsport and are and have always been current with all our financial obligations with the city of Williamsport."
A motion for a preliminary injunction was filed in by the nonprofit organization Williamsport Ice Arena in Lycoming County court against Rink Specialists, of Naples, Maine.
The motion seeks to block the company from repossessing its equipment.
Both parties are claiming a breach of contract regarding services and equipment provided for the hockey rink at Bowman Field that opened in late October.

Impul gives its take on the Nissan Juke
It's been a while since we've showcased a tuner car here on the Car Tech Blog, but after getting an eyeful of Japanese tuner Impul's take on the already love-it-or-leave-it stylings of the 2011 Nissan Juke, we couldn't help but take another look.
The Impul Juke benefits (or suffers) from a new front bumper with a more aggressive lower lip, side skirts, and a rear diffuser, as well as a restyled grill and a huge, aggressive rear wing. There are also larger wheels in a Hyper Black finish, side-window vent visors, and what look like small … Read more

Liu Ye
Liu Ye
(Chinese, 1964)
Liu Ye
(Chinese, b.1964) is part of a generation of artists that grew up during the Cultural Revolution and were visually affected by the kitsch aesthetic of propagandistic art. His political and cultural background led him to create seemingly childlike or naïve worlds full of fantasies and fairy tales; however, Ye contrasts his lighthearted style with imagery alluding to global catastrophes. After studying at the School of Arts and Crafts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown Beijing between 1984 and 1989, Ye received a degree from University of Fine Arts in Berlin in 1994. He later attended two artist-in-residence programs at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam and the Delfina Studios in London. In recent years, Ye has developed an interest in the work of Piet Mondrian, particularly the modernist painter's late period. Ye's compositions are subsequently based on the form of the square, contrasting with the seemingly playful ethos of his works; he is interested in combining rational thought with the sensitivity and emotionality of fairy tales, a synthesis further understood as link between Western and Eastern philosophy. His work has received great acclaim at several international exhibitions; including the 7th Shanghai Biennale in 2008 and the exhibition
China - Facing Reality
at the Museum for Modern Art in Vienna. Ye currently lives and works in Beijing.

Kal KAL-N-Zyme® Gumlets™ Mint -- 60 Pieces
I have been through two bottles of these enzymes and do not want to ever be without it. They are easy to carry in my purse and work almost instantly to ease a queasy tummy.
My only complaint is that they are too big.
Yet they are worth it to me to spend the time cutting them in half, they are that good.
Heartily recommend them.

DH is not happy with the condition of our lawn he thinks it is to yellow and patchy. We are going to fertilize for the winter what do you use we are looking at Scotts Wintercare Plus 2 it is a Weed and Feed but have never used it and wonder if it is a good one.
a friend who does lawn care for a living and i do recall her saying that fertilizer and seed gives you the best results in the fall.....and she also told me leave some leaves on the lawn and not cut too short..........we dont use fertilizer, but we do as our friend suggested and our lawn isnt too bad considering we do nothing.
I saw a segment on the news recently about how to prep a lawn for the winter. The guy recommended spreading peat pellets on your lawn. And for a fertilizer, he recommended using one with a high (or is it low?) last number. Crap, can't remember which it is..... well, it's one or the other!! :D
The best thing you can do for your lawn is water it regularly. A lawn needs 1" of water a week to keep it green and healthy. We have an underground sprinkler system that comes on two times a week for a few hours each time. It's on a timer so the watering happens really early in the morning, before the sun gets too hot (well, that's not much of an issue now!!) Our grass is lush and green and there are hardly any weeds.
I can't vouch for brands, but can say that in spring you can always tell the lawns that fertilized in the fall. It really does make a big difference in the lawn and is worth doing.
One nice thing about fall fertilizing is you don't have to water it in ( which is good since as of yesterday Calgary has a watering ban)..

Erin McKenna is an investigative reporter. She has recently written a story about fraud perpetrated by government contractors and in particular one company, Mercator. Erin testifies against them in court only to learn that they have bought her newspaper. She is fired. Later that night, she is attacked in her own apartment. The only thing that saves her is the unexpected intervention of FBI agent Jerod Westlake.
Jerod is haunted by the disappearance of his sister. He joined the army and was a skilled special operations leader. After an incident involving a higher ranking officer, he was asked to leave. He joined a private security firm and worked on several international assignments, but did not find his experience very satisfying for ethical reasons. He became an FBI agent instead where, because of his past, he has been working on missing-children cases. Lately, he has also been looking into fraud. Mercator's peculiar behavior has caught his eye. He heads for Houston to keep an eye on his witness and ends up saving her life.
The circumstances of Erin and Jerod's first encounter is the first in a series of dangerous confrontations. It takes a while for Erin to understand just why she is such a danger to Mercator, but both Erin and Jerod immediately realize that the only way to protect themselves is to go off the map. In the age of internet and electronic surveillance, this is hard to do. Their difficulties are compounded because they need those same tools to pursue their investigation. The book is thus aptly named, even if it does not take long for the hunted to become the hunters. Erin and Jerod eventually succeed in killing two birds with one stone: the villains are involved in both government fraud and the international sex-slave trade.
So what did not work? To begin with, Lee inundates us with way too much information. It is useful to have some background information in order to appreciate the importance of Erin and Jerod's mission, but if I really wanted to learn about international sex-trade, I would pick up a newspaper. Then, there is the way Erin and Jerod piece together their clues: frankly, there was a little too much coincidence for me.
I also have an issue with the rather long sequence where Jerod decides to train Erin to defend herself. I imagine that this is supposed to bring the hero and the heroine together. Instead it increased my incredulity. Bring a healthy but not particularly athletic woman to the same fitness level as a career soldier? In less than three weeks? Yeah. Right.
Erin and Jerod's wilderness walk did not develop into a plausible romance. Sure, they get along, and their mutual respect shone through. In my book, this does not take the place of good sexual tension. When they finally kiss, well past the middle of the book, it felt more like a tepid, friendly smooch than anything hot and passionate.
The R is for the violence. On occasion, it is graphic and gratuitous. I am not usually squeamish and overly sensitive, but some scenes were difficult for me to get through.
On the positive side, Hunted does have a few nice action sequences, relatively good pacing and some solid secondary characters. Good as that might be, it is not enough to earn a stronger recommendation.

Coney Island Applebee's Opens with an Old Fashioned Shark 'Massacree'
Sad news today from the shark-infested waters of the Coney Island Applebee's. First, a shark died after colliding with an underwater ferris wheel, and then another shark went on a fishy killing spree. Or, as the Daily News put it, "death is on the menu."

Legend Of Ishe, the Labyrinth Queen
It seems that I am more serious about doing this one than I thought initially, as I did more sketches while managing to fight off my ADD for longer than usual.
I actually did a whole lot more, but I still have to make them at least as presentable as this bunch.
Some of these sketches are uglier and wonkier than others, but I do not give a fuck.
This is the only thing keeping depression at bay.
These are some fucked up times for Milenko :)
Hah, I did just get cheered up a bit by the fucking spell checker.
It told me that I have spelled my name wrong and suggested I spell it "Milkman"
Fuck you spell checker, I will not be Milkman again.
Cheers to all

Another idea I had, was for this erotic picture book, with story set in the 50s and featuring adventures of a gullible little house wife and her
, Mr Kockk :)
I jave been doing little bits and pieces for this for years, I never felt ready to actually do the whole thing.
This is just a quick sketch, to test the waters and see if I finally have enough skill to do the story a justice.
I an a huge fan of works from Bill Ward, Blas Gallego (particularly Dolly), Wallace wood and a french cartoonist Lassalvy. And even though this work is not meant to imitate any of those guys, I want to, at least attempt, to emulate the same atmosphere.
Eh, this is too much text for just one petty image, so
Cheers to all,

Unless a special election is scheduled, the Secretary-Treasurer shall again distribute copies of the proposed Amendment to the membership at the next regularly scheduled election with adequate information regarding acceptable voting procedures. Adoption of the Amendment shall require a two-thirds vote by those voting.

Call and response:Marco...! Marco...!Pollo...! Pollo...!
If it results in immediate citizenship, the right to vote, and includes family members still in Mexico then I´m against it. I don´t think anyone who came here illegally should ever get the right to vote period. If all these illegals were expected to become Republicans the Democrats would build a border fence asap and kill any such legislation. Once again the Republicans lead by McCain will cave and the result will be a one party country like NYC and California.
He did radio with Rush, Sean, and Mark, I am still not convinced that with the Alinski crowd in the WH that any reform would be done honestly, as planned and approved.
Sorry Marco, but you just showed your Dem Lite streak.
How nice that Castellanos uses the words ´recidivist elements´. That will surely allay fears, along with Rubio belonging to the same gang as Chuck Schumer, John McCain, and Dick Durbin, I don´t trust any of them. So sorry Rubio hitched his wagon to McCain, the least trustworthy voice in the GOP.
Do not reward people for illegal behavior. Period. Still looking for a conservative leader.
Rubio, like Christie, is dead to me.
Maverick, Jr. How nice.
What #8 said.
While Rubio gambles that he can insist on getting our border under control prior to any substantial GOP compromises on the amnesty question, I am reminded of another famous gambler. Every year, Charlie Brown took another run at kicking the football while Lucy teed the ball and smiled sweetly. Is Marco any smarter than Charlie? We´re about to find out.
The GOP is merging with the Dems. I do not want to see a third Party but I would really like to see a 2nd Party.
What #8, #9, and #10 said. Big time.
Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football redux.
I am against amnesty. That being said, I think Rubio is clean and innocent and too trusting in the ways of the Senate, especially democrats.He is like Mr. Smith goes to Washington.His intentions are pure, he wants to fix this problem once and for all. (that is refreshing)..can he do it in a way to satisfy conservatives, while getting democrats to go along? That is to be seen.How about we sit and watch for a little while before we kill the messenger this time?Deporting a great number of convicted illegals would be a good start. Sure, I would rather see them all deported..but let´s try to think out of the box on this.
Dittos, #8. Rubio is not doing this to try to help the GOP or the country, he´s doing this for himself.
Obama and the liberal Democrats are pushing for a special streamlined path to citizenship for 11 to 20 million illegal aliens that would give them all US voting rights within a few years. If that were to happen, with ten million or so new voters, the Democrats would be able to permanently flip States like Arizona, Florida, and Texas to the Democrat´s favor as California is now, once that happened, it would be all down hill to political oblivion for the Republican (Stupid) Party who would never again be able to win future national elections.The vast majority of illegal aliens are poor, generally uneducated, low wage earners, with big families. To survive here in high cost of living America they will need access to all the US safety net social welfare programs and Obama Care to survive. That means the US Government will be subsidizing those people big time indefinitely. Since the liberal Democrats want to expand access to those programs and the Republicans want to contract those programs, who do you think the vast majority of the new former illegal alien voters will be voting for?Do you think that Obama and the liberal Democrats would be pushing all this if they ever thought that more then a small percentage of the legalized aliens would ever have an epifinany and vote for conservative Republicans?Rubio better think twice about this issue, unless he is planning on becoming a Democrat?
In my observation, these Senatorial "gangs" form only to frustrate conservative objectives. I like Rubio. His plan sounds resonable. His timing is terrible.What is needed now is laser focus on the deficit and the economy. Immigration and gun control can wait.
$16 trillion in debt.Does the US need to import more welfare clients?
I was an early supporter of Rubio´s run for the Senate, even though I live several states away. I gave money to his campaign, wrote letters, encouraged others in my town to support him, etc. He lost my support with this amnesty plan. I doubt if I´m the only one. Another disappointment. I´m pretty much done with the GOP.
Sadly, me thinks Marco = Rino and another one bites the dust. Marco may love this country, but not enough. He seems to love himself more. No surprise that he and Jeb got along so well. Not attempting to be cruel, just facing the facts.
