Would you believe that there was a drive in the first half where MSU was 6/6 for 34 yards passing and averaged 13 plays for 43 yards to chew up 7:07 off the clock? MSU was doing all of the things to deal with heavy pass rush pressure. RB screens, throws to the FB out of the backfield, quick little curl routes(PAST THE STICKS!), slant routes, throws to the flat.
The Burkland sack was brutal, he gets beat by his guy and really doesn't make any effort to recover. I have to think Burkland was thinking there was a Running Back back there for more protection. Other than that, that drive was perfect. It was an excellent mix of run and pass to the inside and outside so ND couldn't just put eight in the box and stop Bell. ND couldn't just defend the outsides of the field because then MSU could run power between the tackles. All of the throws were high percentage, "Safe" throws(although the two almost picks by Maxwell hurt my eyes).
Roushar did an excellent job on this drive preventing ND from getting settled.For all the heat the offense took and is taking after this game, this drive was what they were trying to do the whole game. The problem of course was that in using three downs to go 10 yards a single sack for 9 yards undoes all of that good work and turns this promising drive into MSU's only three points of the game.
It's always difficult to write a blog post after such a complete shellacking as occurred at MSU on Saturday night. A loss like that rocks what confidence you have in your team. As far as heroes and goats, you watched the game. In broadest terms, the defense made about as many mistakes as the offense had positive plays. There's some yin and yang in there. I won't painfully rehash the game in narrative format, these are cosigned for your reading pleasure. A glimmer of hope: MSU's defense routinely does to other teams what Notre Dame did to MSU.
So what in the good hell happened?
This might not be the best place to start. The best place to start is to talk about what the 3-4 is and why it gave our Offensive Line such horrible fits. The Ozone actually wrote a really excellent post on the 3-4 defense a few months ago.
If you want to run a 3-4 you'll need a couple things for your shopping list (in order of importance).
Ok, quick primer of the 3-4 complete. Now, what happened?
During the game there was more rotation of the Offensive Line than usual with the injury to Right Tackle Fou Fonoti and the replacement of LG Jack Allen with Ethan Ruhland(who was later replaced by Allen anyway). Early in the game Roushar helped Skyler Burkland(Fonoti's replacement) out with lots of Dion Sims lining up to Burkland's right. It was a shell game Offensive Line and we're not even talking scheme yet. FUDGE.
Scheme-wise. By replacing Fonoti with Burkland and the rotating cavalcade at Left Guard Nix was put into a very advantageous position. If Nix attacks the A-gap between Jackson and McDonald, Burkland is left in a one-on-one situation or he requires Tight End help(both of those assume no extra blitzers, which isn't always true either). If Nix attacks the A-gap between the Center and Left Guard, the same situation applies to France at Left Tackle and as an added bonus the Left Guard position was being made weakened by the constant substitution. After that you can bring any number of linebackers on blitzes to take advantage of the weakened Offensive Line. If you only provide one tight end for help Nix just attacks the other gap. This of course makes me wonder where Andrew Gleichert was on Saturday night.
Are we going to be using the play where MSU got beat 3 on 7 in TOC's picture pages? You bet your sweet ass we are.
Having four linebackers free to play the run or pass as needed took away a few things. Namely, passes to the RB, passes to the Tight End and short, safe slant passes to the middle of the field. Naturally, Running Backs and Tight Ends were targeted on 23 of 45 throws because that's just the kind of night MSU was having.
Why not go deep?
After the game I wondered a-twitter why not go Max Protect and go deep. Max Protect would be two tight ends, five offensive lineman and Bell committed to blocking for Maxwell. Bell or either Tight End can release into a pass route if they're not engaged with a blocker. With MSU's love of the two tight end set only behind 7-0 or so, this would be a believable looking run play right up until the ball was snapped. I suspect strongly that in rewatching the game I'll see an instance where this happened, but it didn't work out. Either the D sniffed it out, the D-Line blew it up before it got started or Maxwell couldn't connect. ND's secondary was soft and could have been challenged indirectly in the first half using the illusion of the run.
What Else Could MSU Have Done?
Bubble Screens, End Arounds, Draw Plays, Bootlegs, MOAR Playaction. I honestly have no idea if it would have helped, the Devil was in the Offense on Saturday night and with the exception of the Big Ten Title Game last fall every loss since 2009 has been a pasting. It was just a bad night in which the Offensive Line kept getting killed by a very talented Defensive Line.
Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll try to dig into the film when I do Picture Pages for TOC. If you have a play you want me to look at, leave me something in the comments and I'll do my durnedest.
Ok, this has been a superbusy week so this is all the game preview I can write in 15 minutes. It'll be like a preview typed out on an iPhone, but probably worse than that.
Bell. Bell. Bell. Pass. If that pass goes well, then it should turn more into Bell. Bell. Pass. If that goes well then the playcalling should move to a Bell. Pass. Bell. Pass. Pass. Bell type model. And who knows, this is MSU-ND, you could very well see an actual Bell Pass. The ND game in 2011 is where Roushar was going to grandly unveil the Unbalanced Line he had been plainly working on all offseason, but MSU got behind early and running is not useful when you're down two touchdowns on the scoreboard but behind seven TD's in your heart. MSU will look to set up the pass as early as they can get away with because ND's secondary is wet-behind-the-ears, but their front seven is probably the best MSU will see this year(with apologies to Urbz and OSU).
Holy Defense! Pat Narduzzi ripped his defense for "not allowing an offensive touchdown" this year. He's like that fan back during the Minnesota game in 2010 who bitched at the MSU defense for having allowed zero points to that point in the game. That guy was a clown shoe. Pat Narduzzi is not a clown shoe. MSU played some pretty vanilla defense against CMU but didn't get oodles of push on CMU's offensive line. So, who the hell knows. This is the frustrating part of the college football season, you don't know what playbook doesn't exist and what playbook is just being kept secret for uncovering at a key moment of making Brian Kelly angry.
Obligatory Little Giants Drop
This play is overdone, but holy crap I can't remember a longer eternity that lived inside my head for just the two seconds the ball was in the air.
Is Brian Kelly an angry oompa-loompa?
No man, he's a huggable care bear.
The thing about MSU-ND games is that they are close and the home team usually wins. The strengths and weaknesses of these teams cancel each other out well. MSU's run game is strong, ND's run defense is strong. MSU's pass game is not as strong(although ranked first in the Big Ten!!!!) and ND's pass defense is not as strong. In the end though, I don't think the defense has really had to work at it yet to hold their opponents scoreless and that's why I think MSU wins this game.
Obligatory Score Pick
MSU 20 Notre Dame 17
Earlier this week I was contacted by Frank from the Unofficial Home of Notre Dame blog. He's been kind enough to write a Notre Dame preview for us. You can also check out the MSU preview I wrote for them over on their site. Luckily, they were kinder to me than they were to LVS over at Inside the Irish.
It wouldn't be the Brian Kelly era at Notre Dame is there wasn't a good, old-fashioned quarterback controversy would it? After a fairly impressive performance from sophomore Everett Golson, Kelly called on Tommy Rees to lead what turned out to be the game winning field goal drive last week after Golson lost a fumble deep in his own territory to set up Purdue's game tying score.
Before his miscue, Golson was 21 of 31 for 289 yards and a touchdown. The first year starter missed on some throws and left a couple of touchdown passes on the field, but overall he was very solid for making his second career start. Still, when the game was on the line, Kelly sent in his incumbent starter fresh off his one game suspension.
After the game and ever since Kelly has reiterated that Golson is starting quarterback, but questions on just how long he will stick with him should he struggle against stronger defenses now persist. As we saw last year, Kelly can have a quick trigger finger with his quarterbacks.
In Golson Notre Dame has a quarterback that can hurt you with his arm and potentially his legs. I say potentially because despite a high school highlight reel full of athletic runs and escapes, Golson has yet to really showcase that skill since assuming the starting role. As with most young, inexperienced quarterbacks, Golson remains gun shy and hesitant at times – almost being too conscious of making a mistake to the point of it holding him back.
What we have seen from Golson in his two starts however is a quarterback with a lot of poise and a really strong arm. He took some hits and had some passes sail on him this past weekend, but we've also seen a pretty accurate quarterback as well.
On the ground the Irish gashed an overmatched Navy defense to the tune of 293 yards in the season opener, but Purdue had it's way with the Irish offense line and Notre Dame struggled mightily to establish any semblance of a ground game on Saturday.
Notre Dame's rushing attack should be bolstered this weekend by the return of Cierre Wood.. The 1,000 yard rusher from a year ago returns to the lineup after a two game suspension for "violating team rules." Wood is Notre Dame's best back, but even he won't be able to do much if the offensive line struggles as much as it did a week ago.
Outside of Wood, Notre Dame features two other talented backs in Theo Riddick and George Atkinson III. Riddick was the primary replacement for Wood while he sat out while Atkinson is the home run threat of the group. For whatever reason though, Atkinson was not prominently featured in the Irish game plan a week ago.
In the receiving department, the Notre Dame passing attack starts and finishes with Tyler Eifert right now. The senior tight end showed why many consider him the best tight end in the country against the Boilers before suffering what was reportedly a "slight concussion". His availability for this weekend is not certain, but odds are the All American will be in the lineup. If he is, Michigan State will have to commit resources to stopping Efiert. Purdue left a single corner on Efiert at many times throughout the game which given Eifert's size is an immediate mismatch.
Outside of Eifert though, Notre Dame has yet to find a go to wide receiver Sophomore Davaris Daniels has the looks of the next #1 wide receiver for the Irish, but he is still learning how to become a dominant receiver on the college level. Like Eifert, Daniels was banged up against Purdue as well and his status for this weekend is unknown at this time.
Junior TJ Jones has looked good on some wide receiver screens, but he hasn't had his number called often so far.
A couple of names to look out for at receiver are Roby Toma and Davonte Neal. Toma, a senior from Hawaii, came up with a huge catch for the Irish on the game winning drive and is just one of those players who makes plays whenever he is given the chance. Neal, meanwhile, is a true freshmen with a ton of talent and incredible speed who has yet to be prominently featured in the Irish offensive game plan. Neal saw some action against Navy but was relegated to special teams duty a week ago.
Of course, at the end of the day, how effective the Notre Dame is on Saturday will be determined by which offensive line shows up. Against Navy the Irish offensive was tough, disciplined, and dominant. Against Purdue, that same offensive line was sloppy, weak, and at times overmatched by the Boilermaker defensive front.
The talent and experience are both there for the Notre Dame line, but last week they took a step or two backwards after a very promising start to the season.
Defensively, Notre Dame's strength lies within in its defensive line. Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix have both taken steps towards becoming dominant players this season. Through two games, Tuitt already has 4 sacks from his defensive end position while Nix has 1.5 of his own to go with 3 total tackles for loss. Both players are matchup nightmares for almost any offensive line they will face right now. Michigan State may have to commit an extra blocker inside for Nix to avoid a repeat of what the junior NT did to Purdue a week ago.
Notre Dame is a little banged up on the defensive line though with the status of 5th year senior defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore in doubt. He missed the majority of the Purdue game and it's unclear whether or not he will play this weekend.
Depth could be a concern for Notre Dame at DE this weekend with Lewis-Moore's primary backup, freshman early enrollee Sheldon Day, banged up as well. If Day can't go either, Notre Dame will mix in sophomore Tony Springmann and junior Kona Schwenke.
The star of the Irish defense is middle linebacker Manti Te'o. The Hawaiian native surprised many by coming back for his senior season and he has done nothing to disappoint so far this year. Te'o has shown improved coverage skills this year to along with his great instincts and hitting ability.
Notre Dame's other linebackers are more of a question mark. Outside linebacker Prince Shembo has been a great pass rusher for this Irish so far this season while sophomore Ishaq Williams has been up and down. Notre Dame should get a boost at OLB this weekend with the return of Dany Spond who missed the first two games with injury. Inside, next to Te'o, Notre Dame got Carlo Calabrese back from suspension last week, but the senior inside backer looked lost in coverage and could be a target early and often for Michigan State.
In the defensive backfield, Notre Dame's extremely green scorners looked much improved over their week one performance last week against Purdue. Notre Dame is starting a true freshman and a converted wide receiver at corner this year in Kei'Varae Russell and Bennett Jackson and while both struggled in week 1, both bounced back with great games in week 2.
At safety the Irish have a pair of experienced starters in Jamaoris Slaughter and Zeke Motta. Slaughter left last week's came after delivering a punishing, incompletion causing hit and the Irish secondary struggled in his absence. Notre Dame needs a healthy Slaughter in the secondary to help mask the inexperience the Irish have at corner.
Special Teams
Place kicking has been a bit of an adventure so far this year, but sophomore Kyle Brindza delivered in the clutch last week when called upon. Still, the Irish have struggled at this point in the early season with each facet of the kicking game – snapping, holding, and kicking. If Saturday were to come down to a field goal attempt by the Irish, Notre Dame fans will be collectively holding their breathe no matter the distance.
In the punting department, Ben Turk turned in possibly his finest game in a Notre Dame uniform. The senior has been inconsistent throughout his career, but Saturday he came up with several big kicks and helped the Irish defense avoid too many short fields.
Notre Dame features dangerous returnmen on both kicks and punts. On kickoffs, Michigan State fans likely remember George Atkinson very well for his kickoff return for a touchdown against the Spartans in South Bend a year ago. He is back as the primary return man for the Irish and his return on Notre Dame's final drive helped set up the go ahead field go.
At punt returner, Notre Dame features a dangerous albeit still fairly untested freshman in Davonte Neal. So far Neal has had the looks of a return man who is capable of breaking a big return but has yet to do so. He has also shown a knack for fielding some kicks he shouldn't have – a habit that will get him trouble sooner or later.
Final Analysis
This game is going to come down to the Notre Dame offensive line vs. the Michigan State defensive line and just how much Brian Kelly is willing to remove the training wheels for Golson.
Michigan State is going to look to pressure the young Irish QB and force him into mistakes or to take sacks – the later of which he did frequently last week instead of forcing the issue. It will be the job of the Irish offensive line to slow down that rush to give Golson time to make some plays. Two weeks ago that was a matchup that I felt reasonably comfortable with. After last week though, I have some major concerns about Notre Dame's ability to hold up against a quality defensive line like Michigan State's.
Just how much Kelly removes the training wheels from Golson is going to determine how effective the Irish offense is on Saturday. So far Kelly has kept Golson fairly under his reigns in terms of play calling – something that has created issues with procedure penalties and wasted time outs the last two weeks. Kelly will have to let Golson run a little free this week.
I don't see either team running away with this one and think it will be farily low scoring. I would love to predict a Notre Dame win this weekend, but while I certainly think the Irish are capable of escaping with the victory, I think Michigan State ends up winning this one by a field goal.
Butterface or Butterface Boy for the lady folk. For many long, laborious, football-droughty months the MSU Passing Attack has been the perceived butterface of the MSU 2012 football team. Even the wildest hopes in the preseason included the idea that maybe MSU might be able to move the ball with some sort of consistency by the end of the 2012. Until then it's going to be 98 carries a game from Le'Veon Bell and the hope that the Defense can party like it's 1951 and that a 10-10 tie is the limit. What's strange though is that you might not have to wait very long for the Pass Game to pass the Run Game, because at least in yardage it already happened.
Michigan State currently ranks 41st in Total Rushing Yardage nationally and 31st in Total Passing Yardage. Michigan State is moving the ball effectively through the air, but not spectacularly, ranking 50th in Yards Per Attempt. Yet, MSU keeps throwing, ranking 30th in total pass attempts. Some of this is the result of CMU being a glorified practice game, but Maxwell's 22 of 38 against Boise State retrospectively was more significant than it sounded at the time. Indeed Captain Kirk only threw 38 or more pass attempts three times in his MSU career, Northwestern in 2010(come from behind win), Notre Dame in 2011(The misery) and The Outback Bowl in 2012. In the VERY early goings, Maxwell is on pace to average 34.5 pass attempts per game. Kirk's highest total for a season was 29.9 in 2011(he had 26 in 2010 and 27.3 in 2010).
There's been some message board criticism of the pass protection this season as well, but so far the Offensive Line has allowed zero sacks. There are nine other teams who have played two games who also have allowed zero sacks. Most of those schools play quick-release passing attack football(See: State, Boise). Maxwell may not have had eons and epochs to throw, but, he's getting the ball out on time.
Right now the perception of MSU's offense is that Le'Veon Bell is judge, jury and executioner of the whole offense. But as anyone knows who's watched some MSU football in the past two years, Dantonio knows a thing or two about Sleight of Hand. MSU is very quietly throwing the ball as much as they did under the Captain Kirk regime and Maxwell will continue to improve throughout the season. (The way the Big Ten this past weekend he might not even have to improve after Ohio State.)
So "Run Le'Veon Run", but MSU will continue the death of 1000 paper cuts in the passing game all season long.

Granted an extension to respond to a state ethics commission decision, gubernatorial candidate and Cape and Islands State Sen. Dan Wolf will now remain in office until at least Sept. 19.
Mr. Wolf announced last Thursday that he would resign his seat on August 29 and suspend his campaign for governor because of an ethics commission decision that his partial ownership of Cape Air created a conflict of interest.
In a statement on Wednesday this week, Mr. Wolf announced that he was granted an extension and will present a petition to the ethics commission next month.
State Sen. Dan Wolf announced Thursday that he has suspended his campaign for governor and will resign his state Senate seat next week in the wake of a state ethics commission ruling about his ownership of Cape Air.
In a standoff with the state ethics commission, state senator and gubernatorial candidate Dan Wolf is publicly disputing a commission opinion that his role as owner of Cape Air is a conflict of interest. The ethics commission is standing behind its opinion and strongly refuted a statement posted by Senator Wolf online this week.
Mr. Wolf, a Democrat, represents the Cape and Islands in the state senate. He founded Cape Air 25 years ago and now has a 23 per cent stake in the company.
State Sen. Daniel A. Wolf, who represents the Cape and Islands on Beacon Hill, announced his candidacy for governor this week.
"With your encouragement and support, with an entrepreneurial spirit and love for our great commonwealth, I'm excited to announce my candidacy to be your next governor," Mr. Wolf, a Democrat, said in a video posted Wednesday on You Tube and his campaign website.

The reverse camera is more of a faff to fit as it needs connecting to the reverse light loom but doable as long as you have patience and follow instructions well.
For DVD playback you will also need to splice into the handbrake sensor cable so as to allow video playback as it's designed to stop the DVD when the vehicle is in motion unless you rig the cable.

Krist Novoselic was born on May 16, 1965, in Compton, California. In 1988, Nirvana had its first single, "Love Buzz." They released their debut album, Bleach, in 1989. Nirvana ended up signing with Geffen Records. Their first release with the label, 1991's Nevermind, became a huge hit. The band split up after Cobain's suicide. In 2002, Novoselic was part of another supergroup, Eyes Adrift.
Early Life
Musician, songwriter, activist and author Krist Novoselic was born on May 16, 1965, in Compton, California. As the bassist of Nirvana, Krist Novoselic was a part of the music revolution that brought alternative rock to the mainstream. The son of Croatian immigrants, he spent many of his early years in Gardena, California, making mischief with his younger brother Robert.
The family moved to the small logging community of Aberdeen, Washington, in 1979. Only 14 at the time, Novoselic found the rainy northwestern town depressing and had a difficult time fitting in at school. The next year his worried parents had Novoselic go to their native Croatia to live with relatives, where he discovered such punk rock acts as the Sex Pistols and the Ramones.
After returning to Aberdeen, Novoselic began exploring his interest in music during his senior year of high school. He bought a guitar and took some lessons. Around this time, his brother Robert had a friend, Kurt Cobain, that came over to their house sometimes. But Cobain did not make much of an impression on Novoselic until later. Novoselic graduated from high school in 1983 and had some surgery done on his jaw to correct a severe underbite soon after.
Seattle Scene
For a time, Novoselic worked as a painter, but he was eventually laid off. He also played in a few local groups and even tried to start a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band with Cobain, according to the book Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana by Michael Azerrad. With his girlfriend Shelli, Novoselic moved to Arizona in 1986, but they only stayed six months. They returned to Washington, and Novoselic soon started working with Cobain on a new band.
What would become Nirvana started out as a trio, with Novoselic, Cobain and drummer Aaron Burckhard. In 1987, they started playing house parties and other small gigs in Olympia. Using the name Skid Row, the band played on Evergreen State College's radio station. They toyed with a few other names before finally settling on Nirvana.
The next year, Nirvana had its first single, "Love Buzz," released by the small independent label Sub Pop Records. By this time, Burckhard was out and Chad Channing had taken over drumming duties. Nirvana's popularity in the emerging Seattle music scene was growing, and they released their debut album, Bleach, in 1989. To promote the record, the band toured extensively, playing gigs across the United States and in Europe. That same year, Novoselic married his longtime girlfriend Shelli.
Novoselic and Cobain were in search of a new drummer in 1990. That summer, Nirvana served as an opening act for Sonic Youth, an indie band they much admired.

Focus on All Saddle Seat
Saddle Seat is a style of English riding designed to show off high stepping action and differs considerably from other styles such as hunt seat and dressage. To the casual observer the rider sits well back in the saddle, carrying his or her hands higher than in other disciplines. Riders in equitation classes are penalized for leaning forward to any significant degree. Saddle Seat saddles have a cut-back pommel and are flatter than other English saddles.

Most of us have probably spent at least an evening or two (likely with a few beers) disussing the kind of bar we would set up if we had the chance. However, it's not many who actually put their plans into practice, and even fewer who end up writing a book about it. Christian Paris has a fascinating story to tell (featuring celebs, much merriment and 'The Weirdo Terrapin girl(???)) so we wanted to know more about how he ended up publishing it with CompletelyNovel! He tells us about the tricky writing process, the highly original marketing he's done and the feedback he's had so far.

Some of the nation's favourite books have been those that weave historical events and characters into a narrative which goes beyond that which academics can truly verify, but seem to capture the truth of a story more vividly than facts can do by themselves. Author C.A. Hope has done just this in her historical novel 'New Lanark – Spinning New Lives'. We're delighted that CompletelyNovel has played a part in making this important book available to the world. Released on March 1st this novel brings alive the human story behind the New Lanark Mills made famous by social reformer Robert Owen.

Here at CompletelyNovel HQ we have just read Mary Hamer's award-winning novel Kipling & Trix, published by Aurora Metro Books. It's a fascinating read about the lives of Rudyard Kipling and his talented but little-known sister Trix. What particularly intrigued us was how she managed to write such a convincing fictionalised account of the lives of these two extraordinary historical characters. We were therefore delighted that she agreed to be interviewed and share her experiences of writing her first work of fiction.

To Jungle Flush Jet, yes.
To normal folks, no.
I had this conversation with a buddy after watching The Newsroom on Sunday and SPCA's post just reminded me of it...
Essentially, I feel like my generation is socially liberal in most cases... At least those of us not sheltered at current. When social issues are brought up here, I don't even like discussing them because I'm disinterested... They simply don't matter in the grand scheme of things...
My affinity for the Republican party stems from my family at a younger age and because quite simply, the Democratic party isn't going to help me in the long run. If anything, I feel longstanding Democratic leadership in positions of power would hurt me and any future people I care/will care about... I could talk about the why's, the how's but all that is inconsequential... It's simply MY belief...
I said that to say this... If I simply choose not to voice my opinion on issues I feel are unimportant, or if I disagree with you about issues I personally feel are unimportant, even though you may hold them in the utmost importance...But I agree with you on issues we both feel are important, how can you call me a RINO?
The same conversation piece holds true to conservatives being called liberals/crypto-liberals/etc...
Just curious...
To Jungle Flush Jet, yes.
To normal folks, no.
Dude if you are referring to me it is SPCPA not SPCA, GOT IT!
I agree with your post. My opinion is formed from the private sector to whom I work for and try to help. Government, IMO, should never be able to provide a situation which exceeds the level available to those whom they govern and pay for it.
You are part of the new younger generation of Republicans. Some hardcore types would use the term RINO to disparage any R voters that aren't socially conservative. I think personally that the social conservatives are the RINO's. Those one issue anti-abortion type voters are not the true conservatives IMO. Real conservatives espouse smaller government and fiscal responsibility. They value personal freedom above reliance on government. I guess in a way the philosophy more accurately describes libertarians vs conservatives.
After writing this up my conclusion is that you and I and those that have similar views are part of the TEA Party/Libertarian wing of the GOP.
Fixed your post. Social Liberals have no place in (R). Just look at the Official Party Platform.
Funny, I use it to bemoan (R) who run on conservative fiscal and defense principles, then Govern in a way directly counter to them.Some hardcore types would use the term RINO to disparage any R voters that aren't socially conservative.
Like G.W. Bush, for example.
Like I fear (and believe) Romney will be.
I will enjoy watching you and Flushing debate this point.I think personally that the social conservatives are the RINO's.
I was going to say, sounds like you're describing Libertarians, not Republcians.Real conservatives espouse smaller government and fiscal responsibility. They value personal freedom above reliance on government. I guess in a way the philosophy more accurately describes libertarians vs conservatives.

My question to you is:
Why do you care whether you're labeled that or not? You don't need anyone's approval. Your ideals are your ideals. They may overlap with one party's platform or the other more or less. It will constantly change. Vote accordingly.
The only label that defines you is your name.
The only parties I'm interested in serve booze
Interesting topic
Not that I know the answer.
I'm fiscal and defense conservative; "pragmatist" on everything else. I'm against abortion for humanist reasons as well as religious, but also common sense reasons ("its not life" is semantic nonsense).
A candidate who voted for gay marriage would not be denied my vote for that reason (although I'm against gay marriage, but not for religious reasons).
I'm in the Tea Party, but don't agree with everything my fellow TPers believe in.
Rarely are things black and white in this life.
If you are socially liberal and fiscally conservative, your views are poorly represented by the Republican Party. They have been failing on both of these fronts for many years.
In a literal sense of the phase, you are a Republican In Name Only.
Indeed but unfortunately we are a living in a two party system. Like it or not one needs to prioritize. The democrats don't even pretend to be interested in fiscal restraint. Republicans in the past have said one thing and governed in another way. Bush's brand of compassionate conservatism brought us more spending and pork.
If you wipe away the media lies and propaganda the reality is that the TEA Party is born of the frustration fiscal conservatives had with both parties. They have done a great job holding politicians accountable for broken promises RE: small government fiscal conservatism.
The concept of fiscal responsibility is completely foreign to the progressive liberals heading up the Democrat party at the moment. Since anyone that values responsible small government has a philosophy that is the antithesis of what the D party is about they are left with little choice. I have confidence that the TEA Party is keeping the current crop of GOP candidates in check. Look at the "stars" of the party speaking at the convention.
Christie, Walker, Kasich, Paul Ryan, Jindal, Nikki Haley, Cruz, all folks embraced by the TEA party as small government types. Christie is not even socially conservative. Romney is not either. These are responsible government types.
Contrast that with the socialistapalooza lineup for the D convention. There is a stark contrast.
The only way to change the failing two party system is to use the power of your vote accordingly.
Can you give any examples of their "great job?" For all intents and purposes, nothing has changed. At the federal level, we are spending more than ever. Policy wise, they are a mirror image of Republicans but focus their rhetoric on fiscal issues.If you wipe away the media lies and propaganda the reality is that the TEA Party is born of the frustration fiscal conservatives had with both parties. They have done a great job holding politicians accountable for broken promises RE: small government fiscal conservatism.
I have plenty of examples. For starters the GOP controlled house has been passing budgets and bills designed to reign in on spending and reduce the size of government. In the debt ceiling debacle they were able to get over a trillion in cuts over 10 years without raising taxes. There is only so much you can do controlling 1/3 of the executive branch. More importantly they have been ousting incumbents galore in favor of true fiscal conservative alternatives. That is the key. When GOP Pols fear the consequences of their broken promises they will be motivated not to break them. The GOP voters had never had an enforcement mechanism in place to punish pols that break their word on small government principals. Now they do. I'm optimistic about the whole thing as long as the progressive libs are removed from power. The mandate will be set to do what Christie is doing in NJ and Walker in WI and Kasich in OH etc and bring it to the federal level.
Paul Ryan, a TEA Party icon and as fiscally conservative as anyone is on the ticket for goodnes sakes.
Republican means whatever you want it to mean.
These political parties are not vehicles for ideals and good government.
They are machines, ways for individuals to gain power. Nothing more.
I thought the term RINO had more to do with spending and size of government than social issues?
I guess each fragment of the GOP, whether it be Ron Paul's libertarians, Santorum's religious conservatives or the Romney/Christie American exceptionalism types would view each other as RINO's.
I think JetPotato hit the nail on the head - people will classify you however they like, but you'll likely never find a party or candidate that completely, or even mostly, matches your views. We're all essentially voting the lesser of two evils.

Quarantine Stations
Grosse Île
After the end of the Napoleonic Wars more and more immigrants began arriving in North America. One of the most popular destinations was Quebec City because that was where the timber ships were headed. Timber merchants jumped at the opportunity to fill their empty ships with passengers on the westerly Atlantic crossings.
- "Shipmasters eagerly converted their hulls outgoing from the British Isles into a semblance of passenger carriers and took on board anyone willing to pay for a trip to America. Thus was born the "emigrant trade" which characterized a great part of the nineteenth century shipping between the British Isles and Quebec. This "paying ballast" walked on board, and without too much trouble on the part of the masters, might walk off at Quebec." (O'Gallagher 2001, 17)
The Quebec Emigrant Society was founded in 1818 to provide assistance to the large numbers of newcomers who were arriving every summer. The society offered shelter and food as well as assistance with passage up the river towards Montreal and places further west. The Marine and Emigrant Hospital was established to supplement the care provided by two other hospitals in Quebec City. In addition, temporary clinics were set up in the summertime near the piers in order to respond to any immediate medical needs of arrivals. All of this was the start of an infrastructure that would be hard pressed to respond to what was to come.
In 1826 there was an outbreak of Asiatic cholera in India. By 1831 it had progressed as far as Moscow. It quickly spread across Europe and by the end of that year had arrived in Britain. Consider that ships leaving the British Isles were crowded—usually carrying between one hundred and two hundred adults plus children; that most ships' masters were more concerned about fares than the comfort or health of their passengers; and that voyages could last anywhere from 36 to 80 days. This was a fine recipe for the transmission of contagious diseases.
News of the arrival of the disease in Great Britain travelled across the Atlantic and attempts began to prevent the entry of the epidemic into North America. The search began for a station which would provide for the inspection of ships before they landed at Quebec—a place where cholera victims could be quarantined in order to keep the disease out of the colony. Grosse Île was chosen because it was located in the St. Lawrence River below Quebec and because it was positioned in the middle of the channels through which the ships travelled.
None of the doctors working at Grosse Île had ever seen a cholera victim and the first deaths from cholera actually occurred at Quebec City, not at Grosse Île. There continues to be debate about which ship actually carried the disease, but once it had arrived it spread with a vengeance.
- "So sudden and so great was the onslaught of the disease that the island was soon overcrowded with the sick, dying and dead. And the ships in their summer procession kept on coming. Despairingly the authorities gave up their attempts to stop every ship at Grosse Île and, with a minimum of inspection and segregation, permitted all but Irish ships to proceed up-river." (O'Gallagher 2001, 25)
As the immigrants moved up the river, so went the disease. By the end of September 1832, newspapers reported that over 3,000 had been buried at Quebec. After that terrible outbreak of 1832, 1833 was much less eventful but there was cholera again in 1834. Immigration to Canada dropped off somewhat around the time of the 1837 Rebellion but picked up again in the 1840s. In 1842, Sir Charles Bagot, Governor General of British North America announced that there would be lots of work for unskilled labourers in the coming summer and agents in Britain began advertising for immigrants. Over 44,000 people sailed to Canada in 1844—many of them expecting to find work building canals. As it turned out, there was far less work available than advertised. Many of those who came went on to the U.S. and some eventually returned home.
The United States had doubled the cost of passage to American ports and was confiscating overloaded immigrant ships. The failure of the potato crop in Ireland "upset the delicate (and miserable) economy of an agricultural people reduced to eating one staple, potatoes, while they paid to an absentee landlord the rent from the proceeds of the only other staple, wheat." (O'Gallagher 2001, 47) And so the influx began again.
The Quebec Emigrant Society began to prepare for large numbers of immigrant arrivals. However their preparations were based on experiences from previous years in the early 1840s where the yearly average of sick was around 200. They were not prepared for a typhus outbreak. It's referred to as 'Black '47'—the disease spread all along the St. Lawrence and as far as Kingston and Toronto. By the time the epidemic was over, approximately 30,000 people had died. On May 23, 1847 the doctors at Grosse Île reported 520 sick individuals in the hospital and were seeing about 40 to 50 deaths a day. Many children who survived were left orphaned. Some were adopted by French Canadian families, but many others spent their childhood in orphanages.
Records exist from "La Societe Charitable des Dames Catholiques de Quebec". They ran schools and orphanages in Quebec City. In 1847 and 1848 someone from the Richelieu Street Orphanage "recorded with meticulousness all the information possible concerning 619 orphans in their care." (O'Gallagher 2001, 56) This list has been transcribed and included in the appendix of Gallagher's bookGrosse Île, Gateway to Canada 1832-1937. The list was preserved by the Grey Nuns and annotated as those children were adopted, ordained or got married. O'Gallagher includes examples of several other records in her book pertaining to the events of 1847 including deaths, letters and names of vessels boarded.
While immigration continued every summer, Grosse Île came to be used only in emergencies and many ships were allowed to bypass the island altogether. Later epidemics such as Asiatic cholera in 1866, typhus in 1868, yellow fever in 1889, cholera in 1892, bubonic plague in 1902 and smallpox in 1912 were all prevented from reaching epidemic proportions in Canada through quarantine operations.
Grosse Île is now a National Historic Site:
Library and Archives Canada has a searchable database of immigrants who passed through Grosse Île between 1832 and 1937: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/grosse-ile-immigration/index-e.html
The Quebec Mercury newspaper published ship arrivals at Quebec as well as information about the Quebec Emigrant Society and deaths at Grosse Île. The example articles have been chosen to demonstrate the type of information that can be gleaned from newspapers.

Other Quarantine Stations
Dr. F. Montizambert, General Superintendent of Canadian Quarantines, reports on the government's Quarantine Service in the Handbook of Canada 1897. At that time quarantine service came under the control of the Minister of Agriculture. In 1897 the 'official' quarantine stations of Canada were:
On the Atlantic Coast
- a. Grosse Île and substations
- b. Halifax
- c. Saint John, NB
- d. Sydney, Cape Breton
- e. Pictou
- f. Hawkesbury
- g. Chatham, NB
- h. Charlottetown
On the Pacific Coast
- a. William Head, BC
- b. Vancouver
He reported that all other ports were "unorganized Maritime Quarantine Stations" and every inland port was to be considered an "unorganized Inland Quarantine Station".
No persons were allowed to disembark from any vessel until it had been declared free from disease by a quarantine officer. The officer also had to ensure that the landing of any ship would not cause a danger to public health.
Dave Obee in his book Destination Canada: A guide to 20th century immigration records, includes a list entitled "Deaths of Arrivals at William Head Quarantine Station 1897-1958" (p. 20).

Originally published on Wed January 23, 2013 6:13 am
The House is expected to vote Wednesday on a Republican leadership plan to put off the debt ceiling fight for three months. This marks a new strategy for House Republicans who until recently had pledged not to raise the debt ceiling unless it was matched with an equal amount of spending cuts.

Many were brilliant performers whose work never reached the larger population. As the premiere event of the new collaboration between New York City Center and Jazz at Lincoln Center, we've chosen The Cotton Club during its greatest period: the Ellington years. In trying to recreate the glory of the Club's stage show, we were thrilled to discover that the young African-American performers who have come of age in the 21st century were prepared to go us one better. While jazz and Broadway still stand side-by-side, another dimension has been added, influenced by contemporary street dancing in all its variants. Descended from the same traditions that fueled the classic Cotton Club performers, these artists proudly carry on an ever-evolving tradition and — though they sometimes have to fight to be honored in their own land — they are thankfully no longer relegated to the shadows.
As a result, this new Cotton Club Parade celebrates the past while keeping an eye on the present and future. It blends Duke Ellington's music, newly minted by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, with a cast drawn from traditionalists and modernists reaching for a full range of styles and attitudes. We hope, after all these decades (the Harlem club closed in 1936, the Times Square location in 1940) it retains the freshness that marked the original editions, and remains the greatest — if perhaps now nearly the only — floorshow on earth.

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court, deeply divided in a dispute involving the rights of parents and a law to protect American Indian families, ruled Tuesday against the biological father of a 3-year-old girl who said his and the child's American Indian heritage entitled him to custody.
At the center of the case was Veronica, whom the justices called "Baby Girl" in their decision. Veronica was adopted at birth by a South Carolina couple with the consent of her mother, who is not named in court records. She had broken off an engagement with Veronica's father, Dusten Brown. Brown initially had consented to the adoption in a text message and signed documents when Veronica was 4 months old. But the next day, he objected, saying he had not understood what he was signing, and he sued for custody.
Under standard custody laws, Brown would not have had a strong case. But Brown is part Cherokee, and Veronica is "3/256 Cherokee," as Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. put it, and that complicated the situation because of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. That law was intended to stem the breakup of American Indian families through adoption or foster-care placement.
The justices were called upon to interpret how the act applied to Veronica. In a 5-4 decision, Alito said that because Brown had never had custody of Veronica and never made any meaningful attempt to assume his responsibilities as a parent, he did not have the right to reverse the adoption, despite the 35-year-old law.
In a dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia, said the decision "needlessly demeans the rights of parenthood."
Alito said the law "was enacted to help preserve the cultural identity and heritage of Indian tribes," but, if it were used to give Veronica to her father, it "would put certain vulnerable children at a great disadvantage solely because an ancestor — even a remote one -- was an Indian." Such a result would make "many prospective adoptive parents pause" before adopting a American Indian child, he said.
In an unusual lineup, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Anthony M. Kennedy and Clarence Thomas agreed with Alito. Justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented with Scalia and Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Veronica has lived with her biological father in Oklahoma since South Carolina courts ordered the adoptive parents, Matt and Melanie Capobianco, to give her up at the age of 27 months. The decision does not end the tug of war over Veronica, who will turn 4 in September. Alito sent the case back to the South Carolina courts, where Brown's lawyer, John S. Nichols, vowed to continue the battle.
"He loves his daughter," Nichols said of Brown, who has since married. "She's thriving. He calls that child 'my entire life.'"
Lawyers for American Indian groups decried the decision but said they were relieved that it focused narrowly on Veronica's plight and did not overturn the law.
Sotomayor wrote a strongly worded dissent that accused Alito of creating "a lingering mood of disapprobation" because Veronica is considered a member of the Cherokee Nation.
"Baby Girl has now resided with her father for 18 months," wrote Sotomayor. "However difficult it must have been for her to leave (the Capobianco's) home when she was just over 2 years old, it will be equally devastating now, if, at the age of 3-1/2, she is again removed from her home and sent across the country."

A Wanted Man, by Lee Child (Random House, 405 pages, $28 hardcover) — A Wanted Man is the 17th thriller written by British-born author Lee Child featuring the peripatetic, highly decorated, American ex-military cop Jack Reacher.
The suspense begins when Reacher, a giant of a man sporting a severely broken nose, is picked up while hitchhiking somewhere in flatlands of Nebraska in the dead of night in the middle of winter.
Reacher joins two men and a woman. Initially they look like colleagues returning home from a business trip. But, true to form, nothing is as it appears in A Wanted Man.
Reacher soon senses that things are wobbling off-centre. He catches one of the men in a series of unnecessary lies. Moreover, while the men behave as a team, it soon becomes clear the woman, who remains nervously silent, is very much a third wheel.
Meanwhile, an hour behind the car, a man lies in a pool of blood in an abandoned, concrete pumping station after being stabbed to death — execution style — by a pair of men dressed alike.
Within minutes local police are on the scene, then the FBI descends, claiming the victim without saying who he was or explaining why he was murdered.
The CIA becomes implicated in an expanding web of political intrigue, conspiracy and undercover espionage involving a Middle Eastern terrorist cell infiltrating the heart of Mid-America.
And, to think, all Reacher wanted to do was thumb his way to Virginia in the hopes of meeting up with an unidentified lady.
With the suspense rising with each chapter, Reacher enters the breach as an act of honour against great odds.
A Wanted Man begins as a compelling mystery before evolving into a complex political thriller, revealing Lee Child at the top of his game.
Reacher is portrayed by Tom Cruise in the recently released movie Jack Reacher, which is based on the 2005 Lee Child novel, One Shot.
Jack Reacher's Rules
Introduction by Lee Child (Random House, 152 pages, $19 hardcover)
As a soldier, Jack Reacher only obeyed the rules that made sense, author Lee Child says. After being cut loose by the military, Reacher still follows rules, but now they are his own. This small book outlines many of those rules — relating to topics and situations that range from dogs and fighting to good coffee and how to leave town.
Some samples:
On women: "If you really want to know, one at a time is usually enough for me."
On food: "Before a night of action and stress, go for empty calories, fats, and complex carbohydrates: pizza and soda.
On personal grooming: "If you can't get time to sleep, a shower is a good substitute. If you can't get time to shower, cleaning your teeth is the next best thing."
On when to speak: "Keeping your mouth shut is a devastating weapon."
Reacher's code: "Don't do what the law says, do what's right" and "You are only accountable to your own conscience."

Stop Feeding Manure, Blood, and Other Animals to Cows; Ban Animal Byproducts in Medications
"It is still possible—even likely—that further cases of mad cow disease will emerge, with human cases to follow," says Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., PCRM's nutrition director. "The USDA cares far less about public safety than about cattle industry profits and has failed to enact the safety measures we have been recommending for years." PCRM cites these problems with USDA policy:
PCRM has long maintained that the USDA has not instituted these protections because many of its top staffers come from the meat and dairy industries. For example, Veneman's chief of staff Dale Moore, press secretary Alisa Harrison, deputy under secretary for marketing and regulatory programs Chuck Lambert, and senior advisor for food and nutrition Elizabeth Johnson all previously worked for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
While it is crucial to enact further measures to protect against vCJD, PCRM experts emphasize that "making meat safe" is not a realistic goal. Apart from the risk of mad cow disease, meat consumption is linked to coronary artery disease, colon and other forms of cancer, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and infection with salmonella, listeria, and E. coli O157:H7, among other foodborne pathogens.To schedule an interview with Dr. Lanou, please contact PCRM at 202-686-2210, ext. 309.

Upper West Side Mother Finds Children Stabbed, Police Suspect Nanny
An Upper West Side mother came home to her La Rochelle apartment on Thursday and was confronted with a nightmare come true: two of her children brutally stabbed and bleeding in a bathtub and the children's nanny nearby, bleeding from wounds in her throat.
The children later died.
The New York Times reported that the middle-aged nanny was transported to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center where according to some reports she was in stable but critical condition. Police say a bloody knife was found near the injured nanny and that she is a "person of interest" in the deaths of the little girl, age six, and the two-year-old boy.
The Times interviewed another resident of the posh apartment building who witnessed the harrowing moments after the children's mother discovered the scene: Read More
