Having to leave
Food, service, location
Staff, location and food excellent. Can't be faulted.
Poor wifi in room. Not best connection in room
Being greeted at our car by Alan who offered to take our cases,and the courteous service which followed was outstanding.being chauffeur driven by mike to and from pitlochry.Warm,friendly welcome from all staff including Meagan at reception and James in The Brasserie.gorgeous room including the best shower ever!! delicious food! Stunning views!
That we booked our holiday before the spa opened. There's always next time!.
Bedrooms were lovely shame it wasn't in the actual castle. Staff made an effort.
Not staying in the actual castle. Staff serving dinner straight after smoking a cigarette.
Everything absolutely perfect
Nothing we did not like about it
Brilliant room with very comfortable bed. Fantastic views from the hotel Good Evening meal Excellent breakfast Friendly staff
Tables far too close together in restaurant. Not a major issue, but other 5 star hotels visited normally have a mini bar, some fresh fruit and a few more coffee and tea sachets.
Cleanliness and good food
No mini bar / room fridge. In adequate bath size. Inadequate basin / facilities in bathroom.
Very high quality renovation of a superb property.
Some Bistro service a bit slow
Beautiful location with spectacular loch views and interesting walks into hydro electric power station and Pitlochry. Excellent evening meal with choice of being indoors or outside on terrace. Comfortable airy room with balcony and patio doors - left open all night to enjoy the fresh air and the view.
Would have liked a bath to add to the luxury. (Expect a choice of bath / shower for 5 stars) Rather slow service at breakfast. Noisy construction work nearby in the morning when we stayed.
From reception through to checkout this is a truly 5 star experience. The staff are great, the accommodation comfortable and elegant and the views are to die for. We ate in the Brasserie and found the food superb and we eat regularly in Edinburgh's best restaurants
Absolutely nothing
Everthing! the views were stunning and the staff were so nice.
From the minute we were met in the car park by the concierge, to the minute we checked out and left the site the stay was perfect. Super friendly and helpful staff, beautiful views, and by far the comfiest bed I have ever stayed in.
The view overlooking the river was beautiful. The dining room experience was wonderful, with good food, drink and service. The rooms were spotless, roomy and fashionably decorated.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Bathroom was fabulous and the room was lovely. Restaurant was fantastic.
Lovely hotel,great location and friendly staff
Although on the whole the hotel was up to expectation ther was a few things that could have been bettering. I.e a fridge in the room as the water that was supplied had to be drunk warm.None of the mirrors was adequate for blow drying hair. The one I did use I had to kneel on the floor to use.
I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, particularly, Ed, Marko, Salvatore,Meagan, Andrew (Nightporter), and James. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a 5 Star experience.
I love everything about Fonab Castle
Unique location, beautiful combination of styles, interior design at its best, great food, most of the staff very friendly and helpful,
Bathrom in our room was very smal
Amazing location & scenery Delicious food Beautiful room with amazing views, comfy bed Pleasant and helpful staff
Nothing! Although opening of the spa and pool will in October will be a great addition to an already stunning hotel
Alan was terrific he met us at our car and took care of us for our entire stay taking my wife to town and recommending a great place for me to play golf.
Everything was outstanding the best hotel by far that we stayed in during our two week stay in Scotland and Ireland
The décor and comfort of our suite was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful as well as extremely efficient and the meals we had were excellent. We had a really enjoyable short break and hope to return later in the year.
There was nothing we didn't like!
Beautiful setting.
Although the room was a superior King the bed was very soft and unfortunately no small table to put tea or coffee on. the Couch was not in front of the TV.it was at the side although this is not an important factor. We have visited many 5 star Hotels and sorry just found the little extras missing for example you had to phone to get fresh milk no small biscuits with Tea/Coffee but the setting is wonderful.

Two people injured after falling more than 30 feet while rock climbing on Friday at an Oklahoma City climbing facility are both responsive and receiving care, according to a Rocktown statement.
Climbing facility employees 'responsive' in hospital
The two climbers, ages 18 and 19, were both employees at the Rocktown Climbing Gym though neither were working at the time of the accident.
The two were practicing an advanced climbing technique involving rappelling when the accident occurred. They were both then taken by ambulance to OU Medical Center.
Rocktown management believes the fall was due to human error. "It is not entirely clear what occurred because there were no other people present in the room at the time of the incident. It is clear that there were no equipment/hardware failures involved. All equipment and hardware was examined during the incident response and further examined following the incident. It is believed that some form of human error among the two climbers resulted in the fall."
The names of the two climbers were not released.

A beekeeper whose toxic honey is alleged to have caused convulsions and violent seizures in several people has been charged with selling food unfit for human consumption.
Whangamata man Kevin Prout faces four charges under the Food Act and will appear in Waihi District Court on March 3.
People began getting sick from the honey last Easter; by the time the Food Safety Authority (FSA) and health authorities had traced the source several days later, 22 people had been affected.
Some, like former Opoutere School principal Vaughan van Rensburg, suffered violent seizures and spent several days in hospital.
Van Rensburg now says it's a miracle no one died. He was transferred to Waikato Hospital from Thames after collapsing and convulsing at a playground. Earlier in the day he had eaten four pieces of toast smothered in a thick layer of honey.
He had further seizures and says he "lost of couple of days in there. It's all pretty foggy".
"I'm 120kg and if it could knock me around that badly, it could have killed a small child. It took three weeks to get over it and to start thinking clearly again. It was pretty horrific."
His mother-in-law also ate some of the honey and was admitted to Thames Hospital.
A 43-year-old Palmerston North man was banned from driving for a year after he suffered a series of seizures related to consuming toxic honey, while a Wellington mother, her son and an English tourist were all treated in hospital.
FSA tests found the honey, produced by Prout's Projen Apiary in Whangamata and marketed as "A Taste of Whangamata Pure Honey", contained high levels of the toxic substances tutin and its derivative hyenanchin.
The toxins end up in the honey after bees feed on tutu bushes.
Commercial beekeepers are required by law to manage their hives to ensure affected honey is used only to feed bees (which are unaffected by the toxin) and never reaches humans, but Prout was a hobby apiarist who had been selling honey for only about five months before the scare.
The last previous honey poisoning case was in 1991.
Rebecca Easterbrook of the FSA said the authority generally dealt with two or three such cases each year and prosecutions were not unusual.
One of the authority's most successful prosecutions came last August when a Wanaka bakery was convicted after a customer ate a pie and then needed emergency surgery to remove a 44mm metal shard from his stomach.
The bakery was ordered to pay $11,217, including almost $6000 reparation to its customer.
Each of the charges Prout faces carry a maximum penalty of $3000.

After you receive this Alert, we will initiate a 45-share
position in Whirlpool (WHR:NYSE), which will account
for 2% of the model portfolio. The stock was recently
trading at $152.22. Due to the market's recent run-up, we
have decided to start with a position that is modestly below
our targeted 3% initial weighting. We plan to add to the
position on weakness.
Fundamental Approval and Analysis:
Whirlpool (WHR:NYSE) is a leading global appliance
manufacturer with an estimated 40% share of the domestic
market and growing market presences in Latin America, EMEA
(Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Asia. The company has
manufacturing operations in 11 countries and its major
brands include Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and
Amana. Laundry appliances account for approximately 30% of
sales. Refrigerator/freezers also make up nearly 30% of
sales, while cooking accounts for approximately 20% of sales
and other products make up the rest. The company is making a
push with its small appliances, which carry higher margins
at lower average selling prices. Whirlpool is expected to
launch a host of new products with cutting edge
technological innovations in the current quarter.
Whirlpool is well positioned amid a resurgence in
replacement demand, and some increased consumer confidence
is bumping up the discretionary demand for appliances.
Meanwhile, the company continues to expand its global
operations with two recently announced large acquisitions:
Indesit in Europe and Hefei Sanyo in China. Last, the stock
carries a nearly 2% dividend yield and the company recently
announced an additional $500 million share repurchase
authorization, which it can fund with its vast cash flows.
For 2014, management expects the North American market
(approximately 57% of sales in the second quarter and 75% of
operating profit) to see a 5% increase in demand, with
Europe (16% of sales) being flat to up 2%. Projections are
for Latin America (23% of sales) to be flat to down 3%
(Brazil is the company's largest market and its economy and
political outlook are quite muddied) and Asia (5% of sales)
flat (India accounts for the bulk of sales). The company is
anticipating $12.00 to $12.50 in non-GAAP earnings per share
(EPS) and $600 million to $650 million in free cash flow for
Management has highlighted four drivers of demand for the
company's goods: replacement sales typically account for 40%
to 50% of sales, discretionary demand drives 20% to 30% of
sales and new housing and existing housing sales each
account for 15% of annual demand.
On the domestic front, we continue to see robust year-over-
year growth in U.S. housing starts. Each one offers
Whirlpool a chance to sell a minimum of four appliances and
a host of smaller housewares. The last U.S. housing boom
occurred between 2004 and 2006, and the typical replacement
cycle is 10 years. This means a robust replacement cycle is
potentially upon us. Most important is that home prices
continue to accelerate, feeding a surge in remodeling and
replacement spending to record levels.
In 2006, Whirlpool acquired Maytag and increased industry
price rationalization. Recent reports indicate that
Electrolux is in talks to acquire GE Appliances, a move that
we view positively, as it would further bring further price
discipline to the industry.
Using a 14x multiple on 2015 consensus earnings of $13.75
(which we see as being conservative), we calculate that the
stock is worth $193 a share. We expect that strong secular
tailwinds will aid this stock's ascent as management
restructures, revitalizes and grows its global presence,
which makes Whirlpool a clean investment.
Technical Approval and Analysis:
Appliance maker Whirlpool is quite the volatile name but it
may have righted itself recently. Note the nice cup-and-
handle formation -- the stock has pulled back to an area of
support. The indicators are flashing a Buy signal and the
recent relative strength is impressive. Resistance lies
overhead at $155 or so but a move up toward that has this
stock poised for much higher prices.
View Larger
Chart Here
The stock is up about 30% from our cost-basis price, so we are taking this opportunity to right-size our position.
The company handily beat estimates and we remain bullish on this cash-rich, undervalued retail play.

Clearly? There is not even any factual evidence that jesus existed and there is considerable evidence to say that ho didnt exist in the form depicted in the NT so where do godbots get of claiming clearly?<quoted text>Jesus clearly taught that the word was like a vey small seed and it branched out to become great. The heavens and the earth includes all of the universe and it was created by the Word of God. Jesus told things in parables that were from the foundations of the heaven and the earth.
Its another of those hijacked words like truth that seem to mean something different to godbots that to the rest of the English speaking world.

Decoding infant DNA poses ethical dilemma
WASHINGTON — Little Amelia Sloan became a pioneer shortly after her birth.
The healthy baby is part of a large research project outside the nation's capital that is decoding the DNA of hundreds of infants. New parents in a few other cities soon can start signing up for smaller studies to explore whether what is called genome sequencing — fully mapping someone's genes to look for health risks — should become a part of newborn care.
It is full of ethical challenges.
Should parents be told only about childhood threats? Or would they want to learn if their babies carried a key gene for, say, breast cancer after they are grown? Could knowing about risks alter how a family treats an otherwise healthy youngster? And how accurate is the technology — could it raise too many false alarms?
This is the newest frontier in the genetic revolution: how early to peek into someone's DNA and how to make use of that health forecast without causing needless worry.
"This was something that was looming over the horizon," said Dr. Alan Guttmacher, a pediatrician and geneticist who heads the National Institutes of Health's child health division. Last month, NIH announced a $25 million, five-year pilot project in four cities — Boston, San Francisco, Chapel Hill, N.C., and Kansas City — to start answering some of the questions before the technology is widely offered for babies.
Today, the 4 million U.S. babies born annually have a heel pricked in the hospital, providing a spot of blood to be tested for signs of at least 30 rare diseases. The newborn screening catches several thousand affected babies each year in time for early treatment to prevent death, brain damage or other disabilities. It is considered one of the nation's most successful public health programs.
A complete genetic blueprint would go well beyond what that newborn blood spot currently tells doctors and parents — allowing a search for potentially hundreds of other conditions, some that arise in childhood and some later, some preventable and some not.
"If I truly believed that knowing one's genome was going to be transformative to medicine over the next decade or more, then wouldn't I want to start generating that information around the time of birth?" asked Dr. John Niederhuber, former director of the National Cancer Institute who oversees one of the largest baby-sequencing research projects to date.
At Niederhuber's Inova Translational Medicine Institute in Falls Church, Va., researchers are mapping the genomes of newborns, along with their parents and other relatives for comparison. The long-term goal of the privately funded study is to uncover genetic patterns that predict complex health problems, from prematurity to developmental disorders.
But the experimental tests will turn up some gene mutations already well-known to cause serious ailments, and participating parents must choose up front whether to be told. They don't get a full report card of their baby's genes. Only ones that cause treatable or preventable conditions — so-called medically actionable findings — are revealed, to the family's doctor.

Russia-U.S. adoption treaty to be signed in May
Topic: Talks on bilateral child adoption agreement
Related News
Russia may next month sign an agreement with the United States to ensure the safety of Russian children adopted by U.S. families, Russia's ombudsman for child rights said on Friday.
"This issue is under the personal control of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton," Pavel Astakhov said a news conference on Friday.
Russia suspended the adoptions last year after a Tennessee woman sent her 7-year-old adoptive son back to Russia. He was put on a plane on his own with a note from the woman saying she did not want him as he was "psychotic."
Astakhov said in January that 17 Russian children have died in the United States as a result of child abuse since the adoptions started more than 15 years ago.
The latest official figures show that about 60,000 children born in Russia have been adopted by families in the United States.

I had never stayed at the Showboat before and I am not typically a person who gives a bad review. When I checked in and went to my room, I found a room that was not taken care of by housekeeping. There were towels, sheets, and condoms all over the room. I went down to the customer service desk and made my complaints. The lady was very kind and offered […] me an upgraded room and a $50 credit to be used toward room service or any services in the hotel. We chose to use this toward room service.

This was my second time visiting Atlantic City within the last 6 months and the conditions of this hotel room were horrible. The tub was backed up, the phones didn't work and the room dirty. When I went down stairs the staff stated they would send someone up to fix everything except the phone. The phone would have to be fixed Monday. When the handy […] man came up to the room, he replaced the toliet seat and pull enough hair from the tub drain to make a wig. The tub was dirty and had hair on the walls. I asked if anyone was coming up to clean the tub and he stated he didn't know. Explains why their revenue has dropped and they are forced to close. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Now we understand that your casino will be unfortunately closing at the end of this month and we figured we would still receive good service, but we didn't. At first we were greatful that your manager allowed us to keep our reservation after there was a misunderstanding with the deposit we needed to stay even though I had paid for the room in full before checking in. And we understood that our privliges were taken away because we had used a cash deposit. However that didn't mean that we deserved to be put in the WORST room in the hotel!!!! I mean not all of the lights worked in the room, so we could barely see in there. When we went to the bathroom we couldn't close the door because we kept getting stuck in there. Also the cover around the outlets weren't all the way on, I thought I was going to electrocute myself if I plugged anything in. And then all of the channels on the television were fuzzy and it was hard to watch it. It's a shame that we thought you would want to show your guests that you still valued their opinions until the end, but you sure did drop the ball on this one.

"Closing Soon - Don't Go!"
Was offered a smoking or pet room when I checked in...they said nothing else available. When I informed them that I was asthmatic, they told me to send the Showboat a doctor bill because they really didn't care. Seriously? I truly feel sorry that all these people will be unemployed soon but the attitude and atmosphere was horrible. Stay somewhere else […] where you are wanted! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
my first time stay here, I was nice and clean. I enjoyed the space of the room. Really love that the bathroom because it has a separate space for the toilet with a door. the room also had a fridge.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Solid, but closing"
We stayed at the Showboat on a one-night stop en route home from a southern destination. Beautiful location, but noisy hotel. Unfortunately, due to financial concerns, the Showboat Hotel & Casino will be closing for business on August 31, 2014.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Showboat had great entertainment and dining-I cant"
Showboat was one of the greatest stays we had. Entertaiment was wonderful, staff very courteous, restaurants fantastic. I want it to stay openGenuine Hotels.com guest review
good hotel with a good casino. a couple of the dealers and employees made a few comments about the hotel closing in 10 days and i think they kinda were relaxin on the job a bit, but it didn't matter we still had a good time.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Showboat is sinking"
Spend your money elsewhere, this hotel is outdated, the common areas are filthy, elevators are small and under capacity for the number of guests. Few outlets in the room, old CRT TV, at least the bathroom was clean and seemed to have been updated in the past few years. Bed linen and pillows were spartan, no ice on our floor or the 2 floors above, had […] to go to 2 floors below to find ice. Stay in a hotel that is not closing within a month, there is no real value here. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I stayed from 8/15-8/17. The furniture was dirty as well as the carpet inside and outside of the rooms. My husband and I couldn't fully enjoy the room. Listen to the reviews!!! Don't stay in the New Orleans Tower! On another note the staff were nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lousy Hotel"
I was so disappointed with my stay at the Showboat. The rooms were filthy and we were eventually moved to a "better" room at 3am. The beddind was wet and we found cereal under the covers, there was gum on the ceiling, ketchup all over the walls and toilet paper hanging from the pictures. The carpet was wet as well. For $320 for the evening, I expected […] a great deal more. Efforts to speak with a manager was a long process, and we were offered a $100 credit to be used at the hotel. Considering all we wamted was to get out of there, it was little consolation. I am awaiting a full refund. I suggest you look at other hotels. This one was disgusting at best.

"Very nice casino hotel"
I enjoy my stays at the Showboat. It is a nice, clean, moderately sized casino hotel. I enjoy the New Orleans theme. I have found the rooms to be clean and comfortable and the staff courteous. It is too bad that it is slated to be shuttered.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Goodbye to the Great Casino"
Had a good time with the family, at the Showboat. THE writing is on the walls that this Casino is closing . The maintenance of the hotel is poor the windows are so dirty you can't see out of them. Carpet stained etc.... We enjoyed walking the boardwalk close to a lot of entertainment. Date of closing I herd is Aug 31.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I had originally booked this hotel for two nights. However as soon as I got in, at the front desk I was told that there are charges for all small things in the hotel - 12 dollars for WiFi per device, no microwave in the room (additional charges for that), no free breakfast etc. It seems that the room was not cleaned before we got in and there were hairs […] everywhere and there was a stinky smell coming in the room. When we called up the room service multiple times, no one picked up our call. I an my wife were very frustrated and decided to check out within a few hours of our check in. But they still charged us the fare for 1 night. Very pathetic service I would say. I checked into the Comfort Inn hotel later and it was much much better that this hotel. Avoid Showboat everyone.

"hairs on bed sheets!"
I dint think they even changed the sheets before us. The sheets had hair on them. The carpets are just full of stains. The fridge had priors guests' garbage in it! Jimmy rockets cups and so on. We had to call house keeping once we arrived so she can clean the room. We were shocked when house keeping told us you are only here for a day its ok! Wow. I […] still tipped her $5 so.she can do a good job. I didnt want to deal with it and I wanted o enjoy my one night there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was nice. Definitely a bit outdated with the tv and furnishings in the room. I felt that the room was overpriced, but was ok.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

great place,too bad they are closing,well kept ,even knowing they are closing in a weekGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"fun stay"
great room, good time, will miss show boatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel was in terrible condition. Our room had a peculiar oder. My sons' room smelled like smoke even though it was a non smoking room. Someone on our floor had room service and the dishes stayed in the hall during our entire stay. Hall carpets were filthy. Smell of smoke from the casino radiated through the entire establishment.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pointless review, since it's closing"
The hotel has so much potential, but has clearly been allowed to slide. Since it's closing at the end of the month, reviewing it now is rather pointless. Some maintenance and getting rid of the smokiness and it would still be a nice place.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"to bad it's closing"
This could be a nice place. But with it closing looks like no one cares anymore. The staff that was still there was very nice. How ever I had mold in the bathroom and during rain storm there were many leaks in the building with wet ceiling tile falling out in one of the walk ways. But I'm sure with the closing coming up they are under staffed and not […] spending the money to repair. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Thus was a very nice quick getaway for my husband's birthday. We took our 1 year and daughter and 6 year old son and we're still able to enjoy our time away! Sorry to see that it's closing!:(Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No Wonder it's Closing"
Booked a non-smoking room with two queen beds and when we got there was told only smoking rooms with one king size bed was available. No help from management at all and told us that housekeeping works on their own schedule. And I paid more for a room with two queen beds and was given no help in getting a refund for the difference. Once in the room there […] were stains on the chair and couch, our bed sheet had a noticeable rip, and our pillows were dirty. When we asked for new pillows they would only give us new pillow cases, but it took two calls and three hours later to actually get them. We stayed here since it was the most reasonable hotel on the boardwalk, but I would think it's worth spending the extra money to stay at a hotel that isn't closing and still cares about customer service.

"Waited long line for check in"
Long line for regular check in. Short line for gambler, member card holder check in.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worst Staty ever"
Had a Bachlor party Last Saturday...Room was NOT cleaned until 9pm! No to mention the fact that nothing in the room worked. Customer service at the desk was beyond rude. A lot of these people are getting layed off so caring about you is the last thing on their mind. DO NOT GO.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Comments about Mushatt's No. 9 Psoriasis Skin Ointment, 3.4 oz:
I had many seborrheic lesions. I tried several dozen products, prescriptions and home remedies for 25 years. Mushatt's had my skin almost perfect in a couple of weeks. Most of my lesions were on my face and hands where they could be seen by everybody, so you can imagine how being healed changed my life.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Navisite scrambles to restore web hosting service
Blog Concerning OneWorldHosting Problem
I started a blog concerning OneWorldHosting. It is one of the companies affected by this move. I have no idea whether the number 200,000 is correct for the total accounts affected. However, I would say that potentially 18,000 visitors have been affected by not being able to go to the Aviongoo website (http://www.aviongoo.com) alone over the weekend.
And, Aviongoo is still being negatively affected due to inconsistent email. There is also a mysterious problem that cropped up with another vendor. Does anyone know whether BYETHOST is also affected by the Navisite problems?

SI.com says Alex Smith has been informed of decision Brad Biggs
The San Francisco 49ers have yet to make a decision public on who their starting quarterback will be Sunday at New Orleans.
But when coach Jim Harbaugh hinted Monday night he could stick with the hot hand, apparently he meant it.
A week after leading the 49ers in a 32-7 rout of the Chicago Bears in his first NFL start, Colin Kaepernick will get a second. Jim Trotter of SI.com reports that while Harbaugh declined to make a public announcement, he privately informed Alex Smith that Kaepernick will be the starter.
"I'm going with Kaepernick," Harbaugh told Smith, according to Trotter. "Alex, I'm sorry."
Smith was sidelined in the victory over the Bears with a concussion. This right here is further proof why players are going to be reluctant at all times to admit that they may have suffered a head injury.
In Smith's place, Kaepernick was dynamic. He completed 16 of 23 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns against the Bears defense that entered as one of the best in the league.
Smith's uncertain health status will continue to make this a gray area but soon he will be healthy and barring a letdown from Kaepernick the 49ers may have finally found the replacement they've been seeking for Smith. Remember, the Niners made a play for Peyton Manning in March.
"The way we view it right now is we have two quarterbacks that we're confident in, that have won for us and we believe in," Harbaugh said. "To me, it's the opposite of a controversy. A controversy is an argument between opposing points of view. This is a decision that will be made from a team aspect, coming from the same direction."

Via Crystal Ball Run:
There are moments (which seem to happen more during the college football offseason, than at any other time) where stories come out that simply seem too good to be true. Or in some cases too bad to be true. Whatever the case, they're so unbelievable, so outlandish, so ridiculous, that they really need to be heard to be believed.
One of those stories came on Monday afternoon, and came courtesy of Urban Meyer, who was speaking at an Ohio coaches convention. After waxing poetic about his program, changes in recruiting tactics by younger coaches and the state of Big Ten recruiting in general, well, Urban just got a little weird.
Actually, in Urban's defense, it was more a story of legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes getting weird, when Urban was on Earl Bruce's OSU staff in the 1980s.
Here is the story, with a big thanks to CoachingSearch.com for sharing it with us:
"So I guess Ohio State had lost the bowl game, so Earl Bruce brings in Woody Hayes. I had been there just a week and I'm thinking, 'Holy, this is Coach Hayes.' I'm sitting in the back. Coach Hayes was not healthy at the time, but stands up and starts laying into the coaching staff about toughness. That we have no toughness in the program. That's why we lost the game. On and on and screaming, this old guy pounding the table. He says, 'We have no toughness, and the reason is because you're not tough. No one on this staff is tough enough, and that's a problem.'
"He reaches down and grabs this box, slides the top and there was something in the box moving around. He reaches in and he pulls out this turtle. He reaches down, this turtle's snapping and he says, 'I'm going to show you toughness.' He unzips his pants and takes out whatever he takes out. The turtle reaches up and snaps at him. You see the veins and the sweat (on Hayes). He screams at the coaches, 'That's toughness! That's f'n toughness!' He reaches down, pokes the turtle right in the eye and it falls off. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and says, 'That's the problem. We don't have anybody in this room tough enough to do that right there.'
"(One assistant) raises his hand and says, 'Coach, I'd do this. Just promise not to poke me in the eye.'"
So yeah, about that, huh?
Safe to say that we have officially arrived in college football's offseason.
thats not a true story----it is however, one of the oldest jokes around-----Meyer was trying to make a point and used this joke as support for his point - John
Now that's funny! Even if it isn't true, it's hilarious.
Urban Meyer truly is not playing with a full deck ever since the resignation at Florida then the change of heart thing. He's just plain weird and arrogant !!!
maybe, but he did lead Ohio State to an undefeated season last year, even though they weren't bowl elegible, so I'd say his coaching ability hasn't suffered one bit since leaving Florida ... just saying ...
and that's how Woody Hayes became Jewish
I heard this story in the mid 1970's. However, it was about Bo Schemechler prior to a OSU vs Michigan game. Bo brought a basket of snapping turtles on the practice field the evening before the game. He had the turtle latch onto his whatever. he winched but let it hold on. He then put his finger in the turtles eye and it released its grasp. The player watch in disbelief. Then he ask if there was any Michigan player that was tough enough to come up and repeat the feat. After a while one player raised his hand and said "I'll do it coach but please don't put your finger in my eye."

Blast from the past: Eighties singer Belinda Carlisle looks zen in LA... as she starts training to become a yoga teacher
It's been 30 years since she ruled the airwaves with her former band The Go-Go's.
And while Belinda Carlisle is still singing, her life is a lot calmer than her Eighties heyday.
The 54-year-old singer, who was spotted grabbing a soft drink out in Beverly Hills on Monday, is now training to become a yoga teacher.
Hollywood life: Belinda Carlisle runs errands in Beverly Hills on Monday
The LA-native has been tweeting about her healthy lifestyle, including following a vegetarian diet and training in the Kundalini school of yoga.
Her new career as a yoga teacher was certainly fitting with hippy-inspired wardrobe, with her tan sandals and multi-coloured scarf draped over her shoulder.
Belinda gained worldwide fame in the early '80s as the lead vocalist of the Go-Go's, one of the most successful all-female bands of all time.
New career: Belinda is currently training to become a yoga teacher
The group made history as the first all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts.
Eighties pop star: Belinda at the San Remo Pop Festival in Italy in 1988
Their debut album, Beauty and the Beat, is considered one of the classics of new wave, and broke barriers, paving the way for a host of other new American acts.
When the album was released, it steadily climbed the Billboard 200 chart, ultimately reaching number one, where it remained for six consecutive weeks.
The L.P. sold in excess of three million copies and reached triple platinum status, making it one of the most successful debut albums ever.
The Go-Go's have sold more than seven million albums and despite disbanding in 1985, have occasionally reunited on and off since the early Noughties for gigs.
Following the group's split, Belinda went on to become a successful solo artist, with hits Mad About You, Summer Rain, and Heaven Is a Place on Earth.
While she's not riding quite as high in the charts these days, she's a regular on the '80s artists reunion concert tours.
Belinda is set to perform with Go West, Ricky Astley and others at The 80s Strike Back: The Ultimate Party at the Bradford Bulls' Provident Stadium in May.
In summer 2011, Belinda joined Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine and Jane Wiedlin as the Go-Go's star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame was unveiled.
