2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Get rid of this car when it gets past 100k!!! Check engine light constantly coming on and the dealership doesn't know whats wrong, Problems with the transmission come quick. The tranny first started slipping and I got the fluid changed. Temporarily fixed the problem, until it came back after a couple thousand miles. $3000 fix. I bought this car with the gas mileage in mind, (around 35mpg) which was great, until all the money i saved went into fixing the car once it got past 100k

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
These cars run great for their first 100k. I bought one brand new and had no problems with it until about 105, when the transmission went. Costed me 2900, and the problems did not stop there. The car was great while it lasted, but did not last very long.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
My 2007 Versa ran like a champ until 4-6 months ago when suddenly while driving would feel as if the car was not responding or had changed gears by itself.
I would shift the automatic setting from D to N and back again and that would seem to correct it for awhile.
Brakes replaced 2 months ago.
Never did feel right, at times had to stomp on brake and still feel occasional loss of control. 12/24/2013 was slowing to a stop as traffic piled up, some ice on road.
Car did not respond.
With pedal all the way down, no response. Did not spin or fishtail, did not slow, just silently slid under bumper of SUV in front and was destroyed. Never happened for husband or mechanic. Me or car?

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
I initially loved my Versa.
I soon found that the quoted mpg was not as quoted, no surprise there.
I drive all highway miles to and from work.
After I purchased my Versa,I was sent an extended warranty for my transmission which expired at 120,000. This should have been the first clue that there must be a problem with the transmission. Now at 128,000 miles, my transmission starting making loud humming sounds,
the car at one point almost wouldn't go in traffic, but once it got past 20 or 30 mph it ran normally. No fluid was leaking and it's pretty much a closed system.
They didn't take much time to check it out but were very quick to give me a price on a new transmission of $2800.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
Been driving the 07 hatchback for 7 years now- this was my first new car that I paid for myself. It's fun to drive (as are all manual transmission cars) but it lacks hp & zip. Mpg is good if you stay under 60 mph but if you have a lead foot like me, good luck.
Hubcaps flew off after year 1. Someone stole the antenna tip on year 2. Tires seem to have the insane will to stay flat- I don't know how often I've had to patch them up and they have the propensity to find all sharp objects and impale themselves on it. Tires have been routinely changed every year because of that. Rotors changed after 4 years. Battery after 3 years. Immaculate maintenance on my part can't help this vehicle.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
#1 - 2 days ago this car spontaneously combusted.
It appears something went wrong in the electrical.
#2 Previously replaced drive shaft sensor and fuel pump in the 1.5 years I owned it.
#3 wife backed into car @ less than 5 mph....caused $1,500 + damage.
Easily falls apart.
No get up and go.
Left my family sitting watching it burn up.
Wish I never bought this car.
Also no heat / AC for the rear.
My son nearly froze / over heated because there is no air vent in the back.
The front air vents do not produce enough air to supply the back seats with the proper temperature.
He had to ride with blankets in the winter with the heat on.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Okay, so it's been a little less than a year since my first review and I felt like giving an update.
I get 27 mpg with mixed driving and some hard accelerating and I get 35 mpg with a light foot.
The steering wheel's lowest setting is too high for my liking and the material is really slippery; it makes it hard to turn with one hand.
There isn't a lot of leg room in the driver's seat for me.
I have 90k on it and not one problem.
Am I still happy with my Versa?
Yes, even with these drawbacks, I still like my Versa a lot.
I get great MPG and despite the leg room, it is very comfy.
I get great use out of the hatch and the folding rear seats.
Also, you can't beat the price of it.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Love the car after 60,000 miles 5 & 1/2 years. I'm still amazed how smooth it runs with the CVT transmission. I've had to replaced the a/c
heater blower motor, OAD alternator wheel
pulley. I had a condensation leak inside the car. It cost me $560 to fix it. They needed to extend the condensation pipe to draw out the condensation. This is the only item, I feel was no fault of mine, that Nissan should have fixed it for free.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
this is a great car for the price. i bought mine at 50k and now have over 100k on it and have only had ONE issue the muffler broke at the pipe it would have cost 150 for a new stock muffler or 30 to repair the original but i went to ebay and got an after market crome muffler for 30 deliverd. ive done regular maintenace and ive changed front brakes. i use synthetic oil and only change it every 10-12 thousand miles.the car even has the original battery. one thing i think could be better is gas mileage i only get about 26-27 avg. and for a 1.8L engine it could be better but it runs great and has no problems. doesnt have cruise control which i find very odd for a 2007 but oh well great car

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
I bought the Versa from the original owner and it now has 84,000 miles on it. All in all it was a great buy. You can't beat the price of the Versa.
Since I have a bad back it was hard to find a car with a seat that was super comfortable besides my friend's Volvo, but obviously I couldn't afford that and the Versa is the only other car that gives me complete pain relief. Has more interior room than my dad's Acura TSX. Gas mileage is great, but the gas tank is small so don't let the gas gauge fool you. Some negatives are the acceleration and has lots of body roll. The thing I hate the most is not having a middle armrest. Cup holders are awkward. Cruise control isn't standard.

Sports Illustrated's Jets offseason grade: B-minus
By NJ.com / New York Jets
June 23, 2014, 11:22PM
A pretty fair grade from a national publication. Sports Illustrated's Doug Farrar and Chris Burke recently completed their offseason report cards for every NFL team. Farrar handled the Jets, and he kind of likes what they've done since January. Farrar gives the Jets a B-minus, and along with some obvious wait-and-see remarks (since none of us knows anything until these football players actually, you know, play football games this fall), he includes this:
Over the last two years, [head coach Rex] Ryan and general manager John Idzik have at least tried to deal with the obvious issues. Letting Darrelle Revis depart in a trade over a contract squabble was an early black mark on Idzik's record, but that's because Alabama's Dee Milliner, the cornerback they selected in the 2013 draft to replace him, didn't exactly light it up in his rookie campaign. However, the first-round pick the Jets got in the Revis trade became Missouri defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, who had an absolutely marvelous inaugural campaign. In the second round of the 2013 draft, the Jets took West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, who threw for over 300 yards just once and managed just 12 touchdown passes to 21 interceptions. Tight end Jeff Cumberland led the team with four touchdown receptions, which would be an impressive stat … if he played for the 1940 Chicago Bears.All true. And, as Farrar also points out, the additions of Mike Vick at quarterback, Jace Amaro at tight end, and Eric Decker, Jalen Saunders, Shaq Evans, and Quincy Enunwa at receiver show the Jets at least did something to correct these issues, even if the impact of those moves can't yet be gauged. And Saunders, should he prove to be a valuable asset, was also a pick that resulted from the Revis deal. Also: Is wideout Stephen Hill finished, or still coming into his own? Farrar knocks the Jets for letting Antonio Cromartie get away after he was released, and says it's "somewhat distressing" that Dee Milliner and Dimitri Patterson could be the starting corners. Which is true, especially if Milliner can't rise above his struggles as a rookie. But Ryan and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman seem high on Dexter McDougle (who, it must be noted, is now a rookie), so—again—we'll see. The "looming question" for Farrar is the quarterback situation. He's firmly in the camp of those who feel Vick is a superior option to Smith, but Smith took most of the first-team reps at OTAs and minicamp, and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg has said that trend will continue at training camp. Fact is, the Jets got Smith the weapons he (or any quarterback in his situation, let alone another rookie) so badly needed. The biggest question may be whether we see the Smith who had so many downs and ups as a rookie, or the one who performed so well in the season's final month. Either way, the answer is now on him.

With the draft three weeks away, I will throw my hat in the ring. I will mock the draft (maybe literally) for the Bears.
I have to say, this is more difficult than I had imagined. I have no stake in any of these players, but it felt like I did after all the research done on them. I have a new-found respect for the officials that have to make these decisions.
I feel that Phil Emery will pull off a trade, especially in the first round, and if he does, he will probably go after Aaron Donald. I will do it without trades, however. With that being said, here is my Chicago Bears full seven round mock:
Round 1 (14)- Justin Gilbert-CB, Oklahoma St.
I wrestled long and hard with this one. I, like many, love Donald. Gilbert,however, is the epitome of what Emery said he wanted after the season ended. He is an athletic playmaker who has a nose for the ball. He has the size (6'0, 202) and the speed (4.37) to stay with the new breed of receiver. He also has the aggressiveness needed to force turnovers, and would be a perfect replacement for Charles Tillman when he leaves. He would be a great pupil for Peanut's teachings.
Round 2 (51)- Deone Bucannon-SS, Washington St.
Bucannon is a hard-hitting, aggressive safety. He is a fierce competitor with size (6'1″, 211 pounds). Had 78 solo tackles (11th in the country). He had three forced fumbles and six interceptions (15 in his career), which demonstrate his abilities against both the run and pass. This is another player Emery is looking to have on the Bears defense.
Round 3(82)- Justin Ellis-DT, Louisiana Tech
Ellis has a massive, wide body (6'2″, 334 pounds), who should be a great run stuffer, which would help enormously on a Bears team that was last in the league against the run last season. He has long arms and heavy hands that help him shed blockers, which makes him pretty good against the pass as well. In addition to being a load to handle, he is explosive off the ball, and is a quick thinker, reacting well to what blockers are doing.
Round 4(117) – Kenny Ladler-FS, Vanderbilt
Another athletic, aggressive safety. He is a good open field tackler who delivers big hits, forcing five fumbles in 2013 (do you notice a pattern here?). Has starting experience at both safety positions. Uses his instincts well, he is able to diagnose a play quickly and then attack. In addition to the fumbles, he was second in the SEC with five interceptions, and led his team with 91 total tackles. A guy who can uphold the Bears' tradition of hard hitters.
Round 5(156)- Christian Jones-ILB, Florida St.
A tremendous athlete with great footwork. He is tall (6'3″)and has long arms, allowing him to blanket receivers downfield. While in pursuit, he uses textbook perfect technique and speed to take down the action. Has played outside, inside and middle linebacker in his college career.
Round 6 -183(From Tampa Bay)- Tyler Gaffney-RB, Stanford
The Bears must address their backup running back position, since, as of now, there is no backup running back. Gaffney is a strong runner. He is a physical runner who runs hard. He doesn't mind taking on tacklers, enjoying delivering hits. Is a good blocker, and can catch out of the backfield. Finished in the top 10 in both yards (1,709) and touchdowns (21).
Round Six(191)- Richard Rodgers-TE, California
Rodgers is a lanky athlete with good initial quickness who is able to beat defenders downfield. He has long arms, which help him with his blocking. He has soft hands so he is able to gather in and secure passes. He usually played at 275 pounds, but showed team commitment by dropping 30 pounds when his coach wanted him to play an oversized wide receiver. Has the ability to play the Joker role, playing tight end, wide receiver, lineman, and even full back. Will do anything to play on the team. The Bears could use a "utility man" who can provide extra depth.

Another Previously Unreleased Metallica Song Leaks
Yesterday we got a taste of an unreleased Metallica track called 'Hate Train'. Today, we get another unreleased track from the boys called 'Just a Bullet Away'.
Yesterday we got a taste of an unreleased Metallica track called 'Hate Train'. Today, we get another unreleased track from the boys called 'Just a Bullet Away'.
New Metallica? Did your eyes perk up when you read that like ours did? Check out their new leaked song 'Hate Train' after the jump.
As the end of their 30th year as a band approaches, Metallica are set to begin a week-long celebration of intimate club gigs at the Fillmore in San Francisco, Calif. Metallica will start their four-day residence at the Fillmore tonight (Dec. 5) with Lemmy Kilmister and Ozzy Osbourne expected to be among the guests.
While I realize that a lot probably went into the editing and creating of this music video, it's pretty lack luster. After hearing the tracks from Lulu though, I'm not all that surprised.
Churning out their own brand of iconic metal for 30 years now, Metallica may be one of the most influential bands in the world, but according to drummer Lars Ulrich, "I don't think Metallica would be where Metallica is today if it wasn't for Iron Maiden."
Metallica will be playing the Download Festival this summer in Donington Park in the UK and will be playing the 'Black Album' in it's entirety to celebrate the albums 20th anniversary, but they will need to re-learn a few tracks.
Turns out a lot of Metallica's heavy metal peers aren't really digging the whole Lulu project. Alex Skolnick of Testament took to his personal blog to give a review of the album and he is not a fan.
So far it seems like the collaborative effort between Lou Reed and Metallica is falling on deaf ears, or almost no ears for that matter.
As expected, many Metallica fans are not happy with the collaboration that the band did with Lou Reed. The album launched yesterday and Lou Reed says he;s been getting death threats from hardcore Metallica fans, while Metallica the band defends their musical interests.
For those of you who have been looking forward to the collaborative album from Metallica and Lou Reed, today is the day. Lulu is officially out and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich explains the motives behind the album.

71 Days Resisting My Lust
But my real source of joy is the job God has given me a job before I asked for it! God is good!
You can call me Cheyene Rivers. I'm a daughter of the King learning how to walk closer to God, be a godly woman, and the wonders of God's forgiveness. I reblog lots of stuff about sci fi and other fandoms but that isn't what this blog it about. It's God working in the life of a unworthy human.
But my real source of joy is the job God has given me a job before I asked for it! God is good!
On January second of last year, I started this blog. I believe I should look at the growth and changes God has made since then in my life.
This blog was started in the pain of my grandmother's death, trying to end my relationship with Edward and the holidays fading into history. Grandma's passing wasn't as painful as it could have been because a hard to reach family member was saved at her funeral.
My own sinful relationship with Edward was my biggest source of pain. Lust had taken a root in my heart for males this time. And I was afraid of further pain from changing my mind to better match God's.
God had given me a burden for to minister to gays and I didn't want to take proper steps needed to go into the field. College was an unattainable level of education because of my poor writing.
I was sick with fear and myself.
As I type this now I'm sitting in the common room of my Bible college in the Northmen snows. Classes begin tomorrow. I'm far from concurring my lust problems, but I've gone sixty-two days straight without acting on it. Edward and I haven't spoken to each other since January nineteenth of last year. Even though he is a good friend, I'm not going to rush to speak with him or try to get a boyfriend here for sixteen months.
God is working slowly and surely in me to get me ready for ministry. I'm getting ready to see what He has in store for this year.
Here's to college writing and God's preparation and more growth this year!
We need to be able to see the difference between love and lust. There is the couple that we see on TV deeply enthralled in touching or kissing that is called love. But the Bible points to a cross with bloody flesh of what was once Jesus Christ and calls that love.
Surely it would be helpful to have a list to help tell the difference. I am ready for a list again.
Yup there is a list.
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:14
If there is something I learned while writing a soap opera for a few months is that a simple touch can be so tempting. I based it on my experience and what so many people have told me about their relationships. One touch would leave the two wanting more even if was innocent.
But what is that longing for more other than lust tempting
I am ashamed to say that writing those character's hearts torn with lust did not teach me that.
Just Friends had the best description of the effect that physical contact has on a relationship. It is a two way dead end street; you can either do as the flesh wants and finish it or stop it.
Stopping is hard and still feeds the temptation. Fleeing youthful lusts is easier to manage if it is starved.
It has been so long since I've watched that movie. For the first time, I have noticed that Gilbert is… fine…
Oh it is good to be straight.
Now to keep these thoughts in check.
How many people have fought a good fight in round one, only to be knocked out cold in round two? Fighting the good fight of faith is not just about facing off with the devil and his crowd. It is about applying our faith to every trial and tribulation that life throws at us without wavering. The second time around may actually reveal far more about where we are spiritually than round one did. The good news is that the God who saw us safely through round one is still there when we go through it for the second time. "For he hath said, 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Are you willing to trust Him with the second time around?
I have been blessed with how I've been handled since my relapse and how I relapsed. Edward was attractive enough to be a temptation and attracted to me to feed the thoughts from the flesh and a gentleman enough not to take advantage when I threw myself at him even though he had wanted me to and wise enough to not allow me to deal with it without help this time. I have an RU to go to and the AZ willing to enforce the rules. I'm not in elected office or the military.
If there was another man he could have taken advantage of the moment even without being an addict and hid the relapse for the same reasons I hid my addiction last time.
This is a retest in lust only applying it to males this time.
When the Touch of God Hurts is written by an amputee. He speaks of his struggle freely reminding me of grandma a lot. My medical struggles are small compared to his (I read a lot of the book while on the edge of passing out) but my biggest problem now is my addiction something God I believe wants to change. Unlike Dr. Bish I shouldn't see this as part of me.
I was reaching out to Ryan last week and he painted what he thought was the ultement suffering for me. Having my sexuality change and fight sex addiction just not get married and remain celibate for the rest of my life. I don't see it that way. My longing to to marry is something God will use even if He doesn't fulfill it.
And I doubt its as bad as Paul's thorn of the flesh.
I'm highly recommending this book.
"What are you doing?"
As is normal for me different parts of my head are "talking" to themselves as if my life is an episode of Herman's Head.
"I'm applying for a job at Coach. I bet even with the employee discount I can't afford one of their bags."
"That's on the outside…" I knew what I meant. I just didn't want to say it too myself.
In the background I had unchecked lustful thoughts. I put it on pause.
"You should discontinue the thought entirely."
"Ohh look! This job has sick days."
Ummm "I didn't do any writing yesterday to keep my mind on track." I did stop the though then though.
"No excuse and you know it."
I had tried a writing fast for the first time. I'm praying for some unsaved friends and wanted to sacrifice something so could be reminded to pray every time I suppressed an urge. I picked writing because I'm not allowed to fast food anymore. I still worked on job applications and my essay for RU but other than that I kept my hand from pens and keyboards.
I'm learning that I'm trying to use writing to change my behavior and while I think the writing helps that is fighting a fleshly hunger with a fleshly weapon. I know that doesn't work and helps explain why I lost it after the retreat. There is going to be less writing.
I need to depend on God not the touch screen of my Kindle Fire.
I don't want to go because I'm rebelling against my feminine side again. The devil pulled one of the numbers I knew and showed me his hand.
The most effective argument that he uses against my femininity is that women are week. I've used women as a means to sexual pleasure. I know how they are vulnerable to attack. I don't want to be that. I don't want to be something lusted after.
I know that the safest place for me is in God's will. That doesn't mean nothing will happen to me. But God's will is where I belong and I need to trust Him for the best He has planned for me as His daughter.
I'm not saying that all underage dating is wrong. I'm just pointing out that there are sexual attractions that younger people aren't ready to act on. If you can't buy the house don't buy the that cart for it to pull. Just sayin'.
"I can't support this," Ryan said.
"I didn't think you would," I said knowing every word he was about to tell me.
"Gays commit suicide because of judgmental Christians saying they need to be straight."
I've learned a lot since then. Mostly from Ryan, a proud gay man that greatly disagrees with me on most sex issues. I never want to push being straight on anybody any more and I understand now that its not in God's plan for everybody to leave there same sex attractions.
Yesterday I was a message by a young woman with unwanted same sex attractions and I could feel her frustration at not feeling anything for men. She wasn't suicidal but Ryan's words echoed in my mind. I asked God what was the the right answer.
It's not about changing whom you lust after, it's about changing how you let God direct your feelings.
It's the same lesson I've been learning as a straight woman now. I have unwanted feelings for a man that God hasn't taken away. I have had to give God control of these feelings so He can grow proper love from them.
It's the same struggle proving that we are all human.
Yet another chapter with Cheyene and Edward written all over it. Can a love that is human be holy?
The warnings I kept having for myself about the emotional attachment I was developing for Edward. I wasn't self-deceiving myself over what it was though, until it was very strong. Everyone around us could feel the sexual tension. I knew it was there I just didn't want to awaken his feelings more than they were, if they were. I wouldn't let my flirts get past death threats in mafia games either
I knew he loved me as a sister and as an AZ. But I remember that one night he told me he agaped me. My feelings flared only to find that he meant that as a friend. I could have taken this moment to tell him how I felt and I might have done a little more than hinted at it that time but I also did something else; I told him his feelings weren't appropriate.
But I never addressed mine. My feelings of what I knew in my mind was lust I let grow thinking it was ok, as I posted about yesterday. If my walk was painful because there was sin in it I knew Edward could help it feel better.
Once again its another reminder that I need to kill off the flesh and submit to God down to what I call love and let no lust live in my heart again.
"I don't need medication," I reasoned. "I'm fine.
"No," Edward said. "You're limping from the pain."
"But I get the pain everyday."
"So you have chronic pain. Take some medication and see a doctor."
Edward and I were known for arguing, but this was the first time we were arguing in person in front of people. We aren't violent but we have minds that are hard to change.
"So do we leave so you to can either kill each other start to make out?" a visiting British friend asked.
"We could kill you," I think we both said at the same time.
Over the years I had let something change the way I walked. It was unhealthy even though I felt like it wasn't limiting me. But it was and I had to get it checked.
Turns out I have a normal problem that can be fixed with physical therapy; a painful way to reteaching me how to walk right.
Isn't that how it is with my addiction? I let a little lust in my life thinking that it was ok, maybe even even healthy because I was coming out of a lesbian way of life and not feeling any temptation from men. I let it alter my walk. Then I found a man that I wanted to help be free from sex addiction. I stumbled because I had altered my walk into an unhealthy one. Now I have to correct my walk. It might be painful but to be able to have God's will for my life to the fullest I must.
I have a friend that was all happy that her boyfriend asked her to marry her. I couldn't understand why they were bothering. They weren't saving sex for marriage and well… marriage wouldn't stop her from meeting her girlfriend.
Right she has a girlfriend.
So if a marriage isn't about sex, or exclusive sex, then what do they think the point is? Love? Then does that mean she loves her boyfriend more than her girlfriend?
I was touched to hear of a Victoria Secret model that is hanging up her wings and all the money that comes with it, so she could save her body for her husband. I was so proud of her and the example she was setting. She doesn't want men lusting after her let alone touching among other things.
I wish I could understand where my friends are coming from though.
I don't want to hate you
But I might want to care a little less
To not have my heart pray every moment for you
And defend you from everything that might hurt you
God should be my focus and what I love most
He is the Lord of my life
I want to move on from here
Yet my emotions are halted here
I can forget how tall you are
I can forget your stubble
I can forget your manly smell
I can forget the comfort of your arms
Why can't I forget how you would beat me at Risk and Mafia
Or how we spoke of doctrine late into the night
Or how we deeply over think a character before writing a post?
Why can't I forget your kreein' spirit?
Am I to carry this connection forever
Or does God have another plan?
Oh Lord, please make this plain
Because I hate standing here midway between lover and sister in Christ

Samsung Galaxy Note ICS update roll out begins
Summary: Samsung's Galaxy Note is doing quite well for a device that is a small tablet/large phone and the Android 4.0 update is reportedly starting to roll out now.
I reviewed the Galaxy Note and then joined the 5 million after buying my own. I just returned it after getting an HTC One X, but after seeing The Verge report that the ICS OTA is rolling out now I have a desire to pick another one up to check out the Galaxy Note Premium Suite.
I understand that Samsung is rolling this update out to those outside the U.S. and it will have to pass through AT&T before we see Note devices here get the update. In addition to Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0, the update includes a new S Note app and S Memo widget. The S Note app includes support for things such as handwriting equations and having them solved via integrated Wolfram Alpha support. I have only seen videos of ICS with TouchWiz and would like to try it out to see how well it functions. Have any readers received the update on their Note and if so, what are your experiences with it?

Georgia Bulldogs blog
Month: January 2014
Garrison Smith: Look out for Toby and 'Meatball'
- 4:22 pm Friday, January 31st, 2014 by Chip Towers
Garrison Smith is having a blast. He's down in Pensacola, Fla., training hard for the NFL draft with a group called Athletes Performance Institute. He's optimistic about his NFL prospects and, with his UGA degree already in hand, feels ready for whatever the future holds for him.
But in a lot of ways Smith wishes he could still be in Athens getting ready for another football season next fall. Smith was the only starter the Bulldogs lost off last year's defense. With all the experience they have coming back and the new changes that are afoot, he believes Georgia's defense is [More]
Did Georgia's defense get better as result of Grantham's departure?
- 11:01 am Friday, January 31st, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS — The Bulldogs ended up completely rebuilding their defensive staff after coordinator Todd Grantham flew the coop for more money and less challenge at Louisville. But it's hard to look at what they've done since then and not say they're better off.
They lost a defensive coordinator who had given up more points and yards than any Georgia coach in decades and replaced him with Jeremy Pruitt, the architect of the nation's No. 1 defense on the national championship team. Since then the Bulldogs have added linebackers coach Kevin Sherrer, who earned two national championship rings as an assistant at [More]
UGA football tops SEC for academic honor roll selections
- 6:59 pm Thursday, January 30th, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – There was a lot of complaining about the Georgia Bulldogs' 8-5 record this past football season. But nobody can complain about how UGA players are doing in the classroom.
The Bulldogs on Thursday had 38 football players named the SEC's Academic Honor Roll for fall semester of 2013. That was tops among the conference's 14 schools. After Georgia the top five included Tennessee (34), Vanderbilt (32), Florida (29) and Alabama & Arkansas (28 each).
UGA had 58 student-athletes overall recognized by the SEC for fall academic achievement, which ranks third best in the league. And the Bulldogs would be first [More]

I was among the lucky ones.
I was one of the thousands of that got stranded in yesterday's gridlock for the ages. My sister and I were trying to make it to my father's house in Calhoun to celebrate his 76th birthday. I was aware of the weather and the growing gridlock when we left shortly after lunch. But I planned to take back roads to avoid the interstates and, based on the weather forecasts I'd seen, I was certain it wouldn't be around long or be as bad as some thought, especially since we were traveling north.
Boy was I wrong.

UPDATE: Georgia vs. Vanderbilt basketball game 'definitely on' tonight
- 9:29 am Wednesday, January 29th, 2014 by Chip Towers
The Georgia-Vanderbilt basketball game is on tonight at Stegeman Coliseum. How many fans can get there remains to be seen.
The Commodores flew into Atlanta from Nashville yesterday but quickly deduced they wouldn't be able to bus to Athens. So the team flew to Greenville, S.C., last night and the plan is to make the hour's drive southwest to Athens later this afternoon. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
"The game is definitely on," UGA spokesperson Claude Felton said late Wednesday morning.
Here's A LINK to my story advancing tonight's game between the Bulldogs (10-8, 4-2) and the Commodores (10-8, 2-4).

Beat-up Bulldogs hope to heal before Vanderbilt
- 4:37 pm Monday, January 27th, 2014 by Chip Towers
Apparently the Bulldogs are even more beat up than previously thought.
It's well known that Georgia played without shooting guards Kenny Gaines (thigh bruise) and Juwan Parker (hamstring) this past Saturday at Kentucky. But forward Donte Williams also had to leave that game after slamming his head on the court while trying to take a charge from 250-pound Julius Randle. And guard J.J. Frazier had to get an MRI and X-rays of a wrist.
The good news is it appears the latter two players will be OK to play Wednesday at home against Vanderbilt. The bad news is coach Mark Fox is [More]
Tracy Rocker happy to finally help his home-state Bulldogs
- 6:35 pm Saturday, January 25th, 2014 by Chip Towers
Asked Saturday afternoon if had indeed accepted a job with the Georgia Bulldogs, Tracy Rocker made no attempt to bridle his enthusiasm about the new gig
"Yep," he said before shouting, "Go Dawgs!"
Rocker said it's been a long time coming, him being able to say that. A native Atlantan, he said he has always been fond of the Bulldogs and everything UGA. Never mind that he was an All-America player and former coach at Auburn.
"I said that all the time growing up," Rocker said of the 'Go Dawgs' phrase. "I grew up a Georgia fan. I got to watch them win [More]
Bulldogs make official the hiring of Kevin Sherrer as 'defensive assistant'
- 6:08 pm Friday, January 24th, 2014 by Chip Towers
UPDATE: UGA finally made official the hiring of Kevin Sherrer as a "defensive assistant" coach.
The AJC reported on Wednesday that Sherrer had been tabbed to join the staff of new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt. Sherrer is expected to coach either inside or outside linebackers or both for the Bulldogs, according to persons familiar with the hiring. But Friday's news release from Georgia did not specify beyond "defensive assistant."
The Bulldogs two more vacancies left on the staff. They're expected to fill them with either a defensive line coach, special teams coordinator and/or outside linebackers coach.
Following is the news released [More]
Jeremy Pruitt got job, but who else did UGA consider for D-coordinator?
- 12:41 pm Friday, January 24th, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – Georgia coach Mark Richt created a lot of intrigue at the Jan. 13 news conference to introduce new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt when he said he'd made just one other phone call before learning of Pruitt's mutual interest in the Bulldogs.
Most assumed that one call was to Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart. It was not.
Turns out it was someone most Georgia fans have never heard of — NFL defensive backs coach Vance Joseph.
At the time, Joseph's career was in limbo. He was defensive backs coach for the Houston Texans when head coach Gary Kubiak was fired in December. [More]
Update: After wavering, Chris Wilson takes USC job after all
- 12:58 am Friday, January 17th, 2014 by Chip Towers
See tweet above …
ATHENS – Todd Grantham was rather infamously introduced at Louisville as the new defensive coordinator on Thursday and the Washington Redskins announced that Kirk Olivadotti had been hired as inside linebackers. But if you've been paying attention like me, you may have noticed that Chris Wilson has yet to be named the new defensive line coach at Southern Cal.
There's a reason for that. According to sources familiar with Wilson's dealings with the Trojans and their new head coach Steve Sarkisian, Wilson is wavering. And who could blame him? That's a long, long way [More]

"Suffice it to say, The Wind Rises deals with far more serious and delicate issues than, say, Free Birds. Unlike Miyazaki's previous works, it also isn't for young children; the MPAA has given the film a PG-13 rating. And despite all the controversy involving war history and contemporary Japanese politics, that might be the most important hurdle The Wind Rises has to overcome at the Oscars this year: the fact that it's an animated film for mature audiences in a category that skews pre-adolescent."
With Disney's Frozen already being called a lock for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, Jen Chaney looks at why the category favors family fare above all else, and how The Wind Rises could potentially change that. [Read more…]

My first ever tea order from Adagio! I bought two fandom teas: Ginger Fabulous (Lydia Martin) from the Teen Wolf collection and Felix Felicis from the Harry Potter collection. I also bought some paper tea filters for travel and whatnot. I can't wait to taste them! The Felix Felicis smell so good and sweet and the Ginger Fabulous smells peachy and gingery. mmm!

Scanning the Savanna is a daily feature that brings fresh Detroit Lions and NFL related content to your fingertips each morning. Grab a cup of coffee and let's scan the savanna together.
The Lions are a trendy pick to take a Wild Card spot this season, and with good reason.
That includes suite sales and corporate sponsorship investment, but Lewand declined to discuss specifics. He did say the team added Quicken Loans as a corporate sponsor this year and expanded current deals with McDonald's and Meijer.

AutoCAD 2014 - Command line enhancements
AutoCAD 2014 includes some new command line enhancements briefly covered in our launch time review titled AutoCAD 2014 in two minutes. Let's dive in and explore some of these new tools closer.
- AutoCorrect - On the surface this is not a bad idea. If I type in LIME (instead of LINE), the LINE command will run instead of it saying "Unknown Command: LIME". Not bad, I can see the usefulness to this. However, I do not understand the need for a new PGP file (AutoCorrectUserDb.pgp) to hold user defined misspellings. If you misspell a command so often that you need to tell AutoCAD "Hey, I'm going to misspell this, so here is what I really mean" - it's time to create a shortcut key, or use a graphical UI element. Moreover, even it you did want to create an alias (say you misspell ARC a lot by typing in ARV), you can already do this using the old standard "Acad.pgp" file. You can manage this file if needed by going to the Manage Tab of the Ribbon, on the Customization panel, and then look for an entry to edit the AutoCorrect List.
- AutoComplete - Anyone with a smartphone who sends texts, understands this feature. Start typing PD for example, and commands that start with or include the string PD are suggested for you (i.e. PDFAttach, PDFClip, etc.). Fortunately, you can configure these suggestions based on frequency of usage vs. alphabetical. I'm sure most people will want the former. This feature was in AutoCAD 2013, but for 2014 they added a built in option to perform mid-string searches. In other words, typing in LIN will not only bring up suggestions for LINE and LINETYPE, but also PLINE. You can actually do this in 2013 also, but you have to include your own wildcard characters (i.e.: type in *LIN*).
- Synonym Suggestions - This is a feature that allows you to define a string such as "Length", and have it execute an actual command such as "Dist". I suppose the idea behind this is that if you use a different CAD program with different phrases for things, you can continue to use those phrases by defining a synonym suggestion. However, I'm going to pick on this one even more. Why does this require a new and different PGP file (AcadSynonymsGlobalDB.pgp)? This is a "new" feature that isn't really new at all. You have been able to do this for over 20 years using the normal "acad.pgp" file. Interestingly, there are some synonym suggestions defined in the default file like "connectpolyline" (runs the PLINE command) and "constructionline" (runs the RAY command). I have to say that if you are typing in 15+ character command names, it's time to create a shortcut in the "acad.pgp" file anyway.
- Command Help - This is a nice feature. When you do get a full command name to show up, either by typing it out or letting AutoComplete work, there will be two icons on the right side. A help symbol and a globe symbol. Click the help symbol to launch AutoCAD help on that command or click the globe symbol to launch a Google search for that command. The Google search will open in a new window in your default browser.
- Content Search - This is another nice feature that allows you to type in the name of certain content such as a block, and when a match is found the appropriate command is launched. For example, say you type in "Window2" (which is a block in your drawing). Then when you press enter the Insert command is launched and the Window2 block is ready for insertion. The same thing works for Layers, dimstyles, hatches and other named items.
These items can be configured using the dialog shown below, which itself can be launched from the wrench icon on the command line.
Sounds pretty cool, how about
Sounds pretty cool, how about a live demo of AutoCAD 2014 at our next in-house CAD seminar?
New Command Line functions in 2014
All the new command line funtions that everyone is heralding in ACAD 2014 are great if it saves you time. Personally, I don't find it that much of an improvement.
Unfortunately, while they've been adding all these functions, have they inadvertantly created a problem?
Initiall, after installing 2014, a couple of our machines suddenly developed an "unknown command" error where even the X in the software window would not work to shut down or close files. I tried re-installing, but that hasn't worked. It's now happening on an almost daily basis.
Any suggestions or has anyone else encountered this guys?
Unknown Command "pline (or any command)"
This has happened to me as well 3 times now and is frustrating. Your not the
only one out there and unfortunately, I haven't come across anyone who has an
answer. One suggestion was to try a LISP command when it "locks up" and you
can't run any command like SAVE. The suggestion said that the LISP routing
setvar "savetime" to 1 will still work and that at least your work will get
saved in 1 minute before CAD crashes or you eventually give up like I do and
ctrl-alt-del to kill the program. I haven't tried it myself since finding
this suggestion since my Civil 3D 2014 hasn't locked up yet, but I'm willing
to give it a go the next time it does.

Updated Tue, Sep 18, 2012 by Xerin
The first ever scenario to arrive to World of Warcraft is now live for a short duration for level 85s (September 17th, 2012 until September 24th, 2012) at which point it'll turn into a level 90 scenario for Mists of Pandaria. It's a three person short adventure that can take any class combination, either three DPS or three tanks, and any mix thereof to complete a rather easy adventure that helps advance the game's story. It comes in two flavors, an Alliance and a Horde version.
The scenario is broken into stages, with each stage having a set of objectives to complete. The monsters are rather weak and easy for any group to kill, although players who aren't geared or properly prepared may find a slight challenge. No group that I've been in so far has had any problems completing the scenario.
Click here for the Horde version.
The scenario is accessed through the dungeon finder. Simply select "scenarios" and then tick Theramore's Fall. You'll need to be level 85 in order to enter the scenario. Upon successful completion, the scenario will give you a Tabard (the first time through) and a bag of loot which may contain 384s. You'll need an average ilvl of 353 to enter the level 85 version and 425 to enter the level 90 version.
The Feat of Strength and tabard are only available for the first week only.
We'll try to keep this walkthrough as spoiler free as possible, so you'll need to play it in the game to see the full story unravel!
Half the groups I've been in have finished this step before I was finished with the cinematic. A few waves of enemies approach the ship, simply slay them in the name of the Alliance to complete the objective and move on to the next.
This stage is a little bit more complex, but will probably be the most leg work you'll have to do. There are three ships in the dock that you'll need to torch by igniting the explosives on the vessel. Each ship has a captain too, that you'll want to defeat in the process. The invaders are everywhere; just take care of them as you move from one boat to the next.
Move inward, toward the inner part of Theramore and you'll take on a few groups of enemies, easily passing the invader objective. Gash'nul will arrive with two wyvern partners. Make quick work of them and then him. He'll drop Storm Totems and you'll be given the option to avoid (kite him away) or destroy. Two moonfires from my poorly geared resto druid was more than enough to send them away into the nether.
This is a filler step. Walk to Jaina and let her speak, she is in the center of Theramore hanging out with a frozen group of enemies. She'll talk a bit and then give you your next assignment.
The standards provide a 15% damage bonus while you have them equipped. They'll be around the area before the Gatecrusher. Once you aggro the Gatecrusher it will "set its sights" onto one player and fire its main weapon at them. A targeting circle will appear on the ground, so its bomb is easy to avoid, but if you do get hit then prepare for a good bit of damage.
Make your way back to Jaina who summons three water elementals. At which point three waves of orcs will begin to attack, along with Warlord Rok'nah after a short duration. My advice is to simply throw some AoE at the groups of enemies attacking the elementals and focus on Rok'nah when he appears. Use everything to burn him down as fast as possible. He changes weapons, but I haven't really noticed much affect other than spell reflect.
That's it! The scenario is over! First time completion awards a Theramore Tabard and you'll get a Spoils of War, containing a random 384 item or other loot (like fireworks). What do you think about the scenario? Leave a comment below.

Southeast Asia: Tesco uses price to fight Thai rule on shorter hours
BANGKOK: UK-based retailing giant Tesco Lotus is banking on a 10 million baht (US$242,178) discount campaign to help counter the effects of weak consumer sentiment and shorter operating hours.
The '2 for' promotion offers discounts of five to 37 per cent to customers buying doubles from a range of 1,500 household essentials. The company expects this to result in total consumer savings of 45 million baht in just over three weeks.
"Our customers tell us they need to save more money when they shop, particularly as the cost of living is rising in many other areas such as petrol and energy costs," said vice-president for marketing Winattha Nipawong.
The '2 for' promotion allows the consumer to save via the discounts offered, and also from fewer trips to the hypermarket, thus "helping the country to save petrol", she said.
Tesco Lotus has itself had to slash operating hours as the Thai government strives to rationalise energy use amid rising oil prices.
The promotion is being backed by press, radio and TV advertising, as well as events featuring Thai celebrity twins Fundee and Funden. It is running concurrently with Tesco's ongoing Price Roll Back programme, aimed at maintaining the company's "price leadership" in a very competitive market.

For the moment, Wildcats fans may not take much solace in the fact that they witnessed an all-time classic earlier this evening, but in hindsight, they may be able to appreciate what a battle the 64-63 victory for Wisconsin truly was.
The stakes could not have been any higher. Whichever team was able to impose their will over the course of 40 minutes (in this case, it happened to be 45), would be able to come out victorious and punch their ticket to Texas to be one of the Final Four remaining teams left in college hoops.
Each team had stark similarities to one another, with both being incredibly thin when it comes to depth and relying on a slower pace of game. Unfortunately, for the Wildcats, they were unable to contain the best player on the floor tonight. Frank Kaminsky put on a clinic of textbook basketball moves that would rival that of any player in the nation. Neither Kaleb Tarczewski, nor Aaron Gordon had an answer.
Even with Kaminsky scoring at will on one end, had Arizona been able to exploit the Badgers lack of size on the interior, they would have outpaced them. Yet again, Tarczewski finished the night with only two rebounds, way below his season average.
In the same way that Nick Johnson disappeared for the game against San Diego State, both Aaron Gordon and T.J. McConnell were MIA shooting the ball tonight. When Brandon Ashley was in the fold, McConnell's whole "pass first" mentality was all good and well; without the talented swingman, he by default had to take on more of a scoring role. To discredit his outstanding achievements all season based on one performance against a stifling defense would be unfair to the point guard that almost single handedly let Arizona out of the dark.
Where many fans will turn to be curious is the play of Aaron Gordon. There are times when his game screams Blake Griffin, and there are times when it screams bust. His return to Tucson seems highly unlikely, even with the litany of freshman superstars headed to the pros this upcoming summer. Similarly to Griffin (or even Derrick Williams), he could use an extra year of seasoning under the tutelage of Sean Miller to get himself physically ready for the interior game of the NBA.
Gordon started the game by going 1-for-8 from the field, before ultimately finishing with eight points and 17 rebounds. Statistically his game may translate well, but the eye test just more left in the balance.
The PAC-12 Conference's Player of the Year may also have put a cap on his career with the Wildcats. In some form of eerie irony, Johnson averaged (when rounding) 16 points, four rebounds and three assists on the season—his stat line tonight featured exactly those numbers. Had he been able to reach 18 points, it would have sent the Wildcat fans in Anaheim off to a victory party of their lifetime.
It will be a moment he relives for the majority of his life. A chance at the Final Four on the line, with just 2.3 seconds remaining. The fact that his team even had the ball was due to a lengthy technicality that made the whole moment seem anti-climactic. He had a realistic chance for one, maybe two dribbles, and then a pull-up jumpshot for the win. Johnson caught it clean off a screen, and then curiously darted for the left elbow, inside the three-point line. Immediately, it seemed as if he would not have enough time, and even as he hoisted his prayer to the Gods, no one could answer the fact that he had neglected to get the ball off before red lights decorated the backboard. A stunned silence froze the Wildcats bench as the scarlet of Wisconsin danced off into the night with the victory and the golden ticket to Texas.
For a season with so much promise and possibility, to see it end before the Final Four is definitely tough to swallow. It's human nature to think: what if? What if, Brandon Ashley had been here? What if, T.J. McConnell and Aaron Gordon did not go a combined 5-for-21 from the field with the season on the line? All of these questions can be posed to hands with no answers.
Now, the Wildcats sit back and watch the biggest spectacle in college basketball from the comfort of their own couch. As they watch Wisconsin play for a chance at a National Title, they can only ponder to themselves: what if?

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, are plowing right along. We decided to catch everyone up on the former Badgers' impact on the Olympic games thus far.
USA Men's Hockey Team is looking like one of the strongest competitors in the whole tournament and are heading into the knockout stage undefeated. USA women's hockey has looked equally as strong and is facing Canada's women's hockey team in the Gold Medal final. Former Badgers will compete against each other for the gold in women's hockey. Awesome. At least one Bucky alumni is taking home the gold.
Here are the stats.
USA Men's Ice Hockey After Three Games Heading Into the Knockout Stage (2-0-1):
Joe Pavelski: 1 Goal, 3 Assists, 5 SOG, 0/1 Shootout, +2.
Ryan McDonagh: 1 Goal, 6 SOG, +2.
Ryan Suter: 0 SOG, +3.
Derek Stepan: 0 SOG, +0
Next Game: USA will play the winner of Slovakia (led by Zdeno Chara) and the Czech Republic (led by Jaromir Jagr).
USA Women's Ice Hockey Heading Into the Gold Medal Final (3-1):
Hilary Knight: 3 Goals, 2 Assists, 31 SOG, +1
Brianna Decker: 2 Goals, 4 Assists, 10 SOG, +9
Meghan Duggan: 1 Assist, 10 SOG, +3
Jessie Veter (Goalie): 2-1 Record (Saved 50/55)
Canada Women's Ice Hockey Heading Into the Gold Medal Final (4-0):
Meaghan Mikkelson: 5 SOG, +1
Gold Medal Final for Women's Ice Hockey (USA vs CAN) is on Thursday, Feb. 20, at 12:00 PM ET and can be watched live nationwide.
Women's Curling:
Erika Brown: No Medals, 10th place finish. At least she was an Olympian, something none of us can say.
Former Badger Olympic MVP: Brianna Decker, with 6 Points and a +9 Rating. She is having the biggest impact on her team's success so far in the Winter Games. But there are games left to be played, anyone can still take home the unofficial "Former Badger Olympic MVP" award.
Here are the profiles for each of the 10 Badgers in Sochi.
Check back here for more updates about Badgers in the Olympics in the coming days.

Dennis Keith Rodman (born May 13, 1961) is a retired American professional basketball player of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, he was nicknamed "Dennis the Menace" and "The Worm" and was known for his fierce defensive and rebounding abilities. Playing small forward in his early years before becoming a power forward, Rodman earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and was voted NBA Defensive Player of the Year twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record seven consecutive years and won five NBA championships (1989, 1990, 1996, 1997, 1998). His biography at NBA.com states that he is "arguably the best rebounding forward in NBA history". On April 1, 2011, the Pistons retired Rodman's #10 jersey that he wore throughout his tenure with the team.
Rodman experienced an unhappy childhood and was shy and introverted in his early years. After aborting a suicide attempt in 1993, he reinvented himself as the prototypical "bad boy" and became notorious for numerous controversial antics. He dyed his hair in artificial colors, presented himself with many piercings and tattoos and regularly disrupted games by clashing with opposing players and officials. He famously wore a wedding dress to promote his autobiography. Rodman pursued a high-profile affair with singer Madonna and was briefly married to actress Carmen Electra.
Apart from basketball, Rodman is a part-time professional wrestler. He was a member of the nWo and fought alongside Hulk Hogan at two Bash at the Beach events. He had his own TV show, The Rodman World Tour, and had lead roles in the action films Simon Sez and Double Team alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme. Both films were severely critically panned, with the latter earning Rodman a triple Razzie Award. He appeared in several reality TV series and was the winner of the $222,000 main prize of the 2004 edition of Celebrity Mole. Rodman also won the first ever Celebrity Championship Wrestling tournament.
