30 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 28-37 within 25 miles
I'd rather be with a guy who has ambition and little money than a guy with no ambition and big money. I want someone who can keep me on my toes, someone who's going to push me to my limits and then pull back in right after. Someone who will make me break my routine but respect my hard work and organization. I'm just a nice girl (usually) who's looking for some fun and companionship. I need a guy with a sense of humor who is always up for doing something, making the nights on the couch that much more relaxing and rewarding. I also love determination, hard work and passion. I grew up in Connecticut, went to Penn State and have now been in the city for five years. I work full time and go to law school part time. I have a great group of friends, most who I have been close with for years upon years. I love NYC and taking advantage of what the city has to offer... but always up for weekend getaways.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

This paper presents IDEA1, a graphical system-level simulator for wireless sensor networks. It is developed by SystemC and C++. It enables the design space exploration at an early stage of system development. It allows the performance evaluation of sensor networks at high-level, but elaborately takes into account of the hardware and software modeling. A case study is simulated to verify the model implementation and prove the effectiveness of IDEA1.

Redress: Congress has OK'd nearly $5 billion for black and Native American farmers who claim they were discriminated against. This is redistribution of wealth in the name of environmental and social justice. Reparations have begun.
Redistribution of wealth has been an underlying purpose of this administration and Congress, and one of the most glaring examples has been its welcoming of a series of lawsuits alleging past discrimination by black, Native American, Hispanic and female farmers.
Pigford v. Glickman was a class action lawsuit against the Department of Agriculture alleging discrimination against black farmers in its allocation of farm loans between 1983 and 1987. With all our other economic difficulties, it has flown under the media radar. A separate suit filed by 300,000 American Indians claimed they had been cheated out of land royalties dating back to 1887.
One of the fruits of this lame-duck session has been the approval of $1.15 billion to the black farmers and $3.4 billion to the American Indians to settle the two lawsuits. At last count, more than 94,000 black farmers have signed up for payments under the settlement.
Based on census data, however, there were only 33,000 or so black farmers in existence during the period in question. Based on that number and the number of denied applications, the department had originally estimated that only 2,000 such claims would be filed.
This is what happens when government rings the dinner bell, and it's an indication of just how loose the rules are for vetting past injustices, real or not. Throw in the cult of victimology permeating modern liberalism and you have a cash cow ready to be milked. Victims will come out of the woodwork.
As BigGovernment.com reports, the only "proof" required was a form stating that the claimant had "attempted" to farm, perhaps planting tomatoes in the back yard, and to have a family member vouch for that assertion. The government would then send the aggrieved "farmer" a check for $50,000. The bill is headed to President Obama's desk for his signature Wednesday or Thursday. It was then-Sen. Obama who introduced the original Pigford legislation in 2007.
Saying "the numbers just don't add up," Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has called for a federal investigation. "Pigford is rife with fraudulent claims," she believes, "and to settle before an investigation can take place does the American taxpayer a disservice." Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has been less subtle, calling them "slavery reparations."
Pigford is an outright raid on the U.S. Treasury that needs to be investigated. No doubt there are valid minority claims for discrimination, but when there are more claimants than farmers, we smell a scam.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., incoming head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, should put this matter on his docket.
Interestingly, among the claimants receiving Pigford cash were none other than Charles and Shirley Sherrod, whose farm collective, New Communities Inc., received $13 million. Time magazine reported that $330,000 was "awarded to Shirley and Charles Sherrod for mental suffering alone." Shirley Sherrod was the former Agriculture Department official whose speech before a NAACP group revealing her angst about helping a white farmer got her fired.
Van Jones, Obama's former green jobs czar, was a great advocate for environmental and social justice and the redistribution of wealth from successful capitalists and entrepreneurs to minorities and Native Americans who he says have been shut out of the system and exploited by it.
Just two weeks before he started his White House job, Jones delivered the keynote address at Power Shift '09, billed as the largest youth summit on climate change in history. A reported 12,000 young people were at the D.C. Convention Center for the event.
In one section of his 20-minute speech, Jones referred to "our Native American brothers and sisters" who, he claimed, were "pushed," "bullied," "mistreated" and "shoved into all the land that we didn't want."
Then Jones thundered, "Give them the wealth! Give them the wealth!" It appears we are doing just that.

Chad Griffin to Politico: "The Case for ENDA is a Pretty Simple One"
October 30, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Today in an op-ed for Politico, HRC President Chad Griffin highlighted the widespread, bipartisan support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. In fact, two-third of Americans voters – including 56 percent of Republicans – support legislation to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals from discrimination in the workplace.
HRC President Chad Griffin writes:
"What's more, ENDA isn't just the right thing to do; it makes good business sense, too. For years, large and small businesses all across the country have been leading the charge in protecting their gay and transgender employees. Nearly 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies have sexual orientation non-discrimination policies and almost 60 percent have similar policies that include gender identity. All ENDA does is enshrine these best practices into law….
At the end of the day, the case for ENDA is a pretty simple one. This is a bill about opportunity, shared prosperity, and the American dream. And senators can't escape the simple fact that, when staunch conservatives, bleeding-heart liberals, observant Christians, labor unions, and Fortune 500 companies agree on something, it's long past time to get it done."

Idol Chatter: Judges Save Sam
It's elimination night-but will the judges use their one save this week?
The bottom three....
Malaya has been in the bottom three several times--and even though she has a big powerful voice, her song choices would seemingly be holding her back. She picks songs that showcase her vocal power, but they all tend to be older songs. She really hasn't shown us what she would do as a current artist.
CJ Harris had a much better night on Wednesday- finally getting back to authentic soulful performances. But he has been struggling with pitch for several week- and at this point in the competition it will be tough for him to build a fan base, even if keeps improving.
Sam Woolf is the cute, shy teenager who has clearly locked in the teenage girl vote...but that's probably about it. His performances are very low key, as is his personality in general. He will have to do something very exciting to get much further in the competition. We're lucky if we even see him crack a smile----definitely lacking that superstar quality.
Sam has the lowest number of votes, and has to sing for his life.
Nothing terribly impressive--BUT the judges say it IS unanimous and they are using their one save of the season on Sam. Even his reaction to finding out he was saved was incredibly mellow. Safe this week-but he may find himself in the same place for next week's elimination.

Video: Another example of anecdotitis
posted at 8:30 am on February 27, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Last week, I wrote that Nancy Pelosi's insistence that the ObamaCare bill is really a jobs bill was the weirdest moment of the health-care summit, but Duane Patterson disagreed — and he's right. With the Democrats already suffering from anecdotitis while Republicans talked policy and finances, Rep. Louise Slaughter offered the strangest one of all. She tells a tale of a woman who couldn't afford her own dentures, and so had to use a second-hand set from her deceased sister. See if you can guess what's wrong with the Tale of the Teeth:
Answer: ObamaCare won't cover dentures. It doesn't include dental coverage. It's a complete non-sequitur. It's even more silly than griping about an attempt to file an insurance claim under a policy that hadn't been purchased.

Organizing Citizens Groups on Coal/Fracking Frontlines: Q & A with Illinois South Founder Dave Ostendorf
For many residents in southern Illinois dealing with the fallout of a sanctioned coal and fracking rush, the time has come to revamp the historic Illinois South organization and its role in providing impacted residents with a voice in state and federal regulatory matters.
Call it deja vu all over again.
And perhaps no one understands this better than Rev. Dave Ostendorf, the co-founder of the Illinois South citizens group in 1974, and a long-time community organizer for civil rights in Chicago and across the heartland and nation.
"Building critical mass around the stories--of people and communities most directly impacted or the stories of devastating environmental impacts--seems to me like the challenge that still lies ahead," he told me in a recent interview. "And the challenge that the good folk of Southern Illinois face."
Based in the historic coal town of Herrin, Ostendorf and his co-workers effectively organized local communities to use their stories and voices to take on the rogues elements of the coal industry during a coal rush four decades ago. Illinois South organized locally-led workshops, conferences, farmer's markets, and published a series of fact-finding pamphlets, including "Who's Mining the Farm: A report on the energy corporations' ownership of Illinois land and coal reserves and its implications for rural people and their communities."
At the invitation of city officials in Sparta in 1978, for example, Illinois South organized a series of public hearings that allowed local residents to have a hand in developing unprecedented protections against strip mining operations by Peabody Coal.
"The Illinois South Project's participation with the people of Sparta in this process," Ostendorf wrote years later, in Thunder at Michigan and Thunder in the Heartland, "taught us that social change organizations can play a critical role in such negotiating process without compromising their own goals."

That was then; but is today a similar story? While Illinois South eventually transformed into the Illinois Stewardship Alliance and shifted to farm matters, many of the same issues facing coal and extraction areas have come back into play in southern Illinois.
And come back in a fury. It's bad enough that the state of Illinois is ensnared in a national disgrace over failed coal mining regulations and protection measures.
But the recent debacle over Illinois' admittedly flawed new fracking regulations, hammered out last spring in backroom negotiations between gas industry and state officials, and a handful of inexperienced and non-impacted environmental representatives, was a flashback to 1977 for many long-time activists, when compromising Big Green organizations and legislators abandoned the strip mining abolitionist movement and opted to "regulate" strip mining, instead of banning its undeniable wrath of destruction in the coal areas.
In 1977, in the afterglow of the OPEC energy crisis and a new scramble toward coal production, President Jimmy Carter signed the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, an admittedly "watered down bill" that would enhance "the legitimate and much needed production of coal."
Few residents in the impacted coal mining areas agreed. An Appalachian coalition working with the heartland and western advocates considered the bill "so weakened by compromise that it no longer promised effective control of the coal industry or adequate protection of citizens' rights." Writing in the Illinois South newsletter in 1987, on the tenth anniversary of the mining law, legendary Illinois activist Jane Johnson declared: "People in the cornbelt felt betrayed."
A similar feeling of betrayal was issued this summer after Illinois passed its fracking regulations.
The more things change, the more they stay the same, as the French proverb goes, and perhaps it's particularly apt for Illinois: The French were the first Europeans to discover coal in the Americas, along the Illinois River in the 1600s, that ultimately launched the first coal industry on our nation's soil.

After a workweek of corporate combat, losing precious free time away from the big sports game or beer bar in the name of kemptness can sound painful. With today's Groupon, you'll look forward to your routine shag snipping. For $30, you'll get a quality grooming experience and hand detailing at American Male, a $63 to $68 value, depending on the location. Because both your head and hands are almost always exposed to the elements in business, casual, and swimsuit-modeling attire, it's important to take care of these air-exposed areas to make good first impressions and to improve status in unforgiving apelike corporate hierarchies. Your Groupon is good at American Male's Philadelphia and Berwyn locations. Get it for yourself or give the gift of male-sanctioned luxury.The Dream: You are bald. What It Means: You are worried about losing your hair, OR, if you are already bald, you are worried about losing your jet-ski business.
Modern wall sconces and full-wall windows cast glow on the salon's polished wood floors and cozy leather mani-pedi chairs. Here, with the precision and artistry of a thousand microscopic architects, nail techs meticulously renovate nails and adorn with basic and long-lasting Shellac color. As tired feet steep in a soothing pedicure bath, tension fades away, calluses soften, and nails prepare for custom nail art or sleek French tips. Clients may also solicit a skilled aesthetician to clear away unwanted hair from your face, body, or antlers during swift waxing sessions.
When the going gets tough, the tough get manicures. At least, that's the view espoused by Pink Nails Day Spa, which strives to offer its clients rejuvenation through a variety of head-to-toe pampering services. As its name suggests, the spa specializes in nailcare, from classic manicures and pedicures to eye-catching airbrush designs. Table or chair massages work to disentangle muscular knots and banish tension, and facials address complexion concerns such as acne, sun damage, or irritated skin. Waxing treatments can put the final smoothing touch on bodies, clearing away unwanted hair and unsightly porcupine quills.
The goals of Chez Raina Salon's experienced staff are to build strong relationships with clients and provide them with exceptional beauty services. Inside the highly sanitized salon space, nail technicians doll up digits with mani-pedis and paraffin treatments. Stylists consult with their clients before cutting and highlighting manes to create whole new hairdos. The staff's aestheticians use waxing services and facials to soften the skin until it's smoother than Boyz II Men lounging in a pool of baby oil.
The skilled technicians at Pour L'Image beautify clients with nailcare, waxing, and brow and lash tinting. They specialize in waterless spa pedicures, in which guests relax on comfortable pedicure cots with feet enveloped in warm booties, a nice change from the typical whirlpool soaks or shark-tank dips. Additionally, they use vegetable-based dyes to darken brows and lashes for up to six weeks.
The intricately painted manicures created at Butterfly Nail Salon are about as unique as the colorings on a butterfly's wings. At one table, a technician might be painting acrylics with a modernity-inspired coat of white polish, while the next table might find a client gasping with delight over the cupcake-themed manicure on her natural nails. Pink-and-whites are popular here, as are no-chip gel polishes that, like robot butlers, are available in both traditional and neon hues.

Jim Souhan analyzes the local sports scene and advises you to never take his betting advice. He likes old guitars and old music, never eats press box hot dogs, and can be heard on 1500ESPN at 2:05 p.m. weekdays, and Sundays from 10 a.m.-noon.
Find him on Twitter
Rapid-fire reactions to some of hte biggest stories in local sports:
-I'm not thrilled by the arrival of Donovan McNabb; neither am I disgusted or concerned. Look at McNabb's track record, and talk to NFL people about his legendary off-season workouts, and I have to believe he'll bounce back to being a pretty good quarterback this year, if healthy.
He's talented, experienced and motivated to prove that last year was a fluke. For what the Vikings need, and what they gave up for him, his acquisition makes sense. Christian Ponder shouldn't be thrown into the starting job under these circumstances.
-The departure of Sidney Rice hurts the Vikings' chances of winning this year, but, when it comes to long-term contracts, I always say that the key factor is trust, not talent.
Do you trust Sidney Rice to stay healthy. to play with pain, to be productive year-in and year-out? He's capable of doing so. I just don't trust him to do so. So while his departure has to sting the Vikings, they may benefit, long-term, by not being stuck with him making huge money.
-I would not trade Denard Span to the Nationals for a relief pitcher. Now, I defended the Twins' trade of Wilson Ramos for Matt Capps last year because of unique circumstances. The Twins looked like they were one bullpen arm away from winning the division and perhaps making a playoff run. Ramos was blocked by Mauer, who had yet to be stricken by bi-lateral-post-concussion-schizophrenia-disorder. Some Twins officials were not nearly as high on Ramos as people who don't watch him play every day.
It was the wrong kind of deal - an every day player at a key position for a reliever - but I understood it.
This one, I would not understand, unless the Twins are getting more than a reliever out of the deal.
What makes Span intriguing to the Nationals - that he's a high-on-base leadoff hitter who is also a pretty good centerfielder and a reliable human - is exactly what should make the Twins intent on keeping him. Span is signed to a reasonable contract through 2015.
With the Twins seven games under .500, in fourth place and six games out of first on July 29, I'd like to see them trade their veterans and re-stock for next season. But Span shouldn't be on the way out; he should be one of the few players the Twins are counting on for next season.
-David Kahn has interviewed a fascinating array of coaching candidates. My quick take:
-Rick Adelman would be a slam-dunk winner. If Kahn can land him, he should, regardless of price.
-Don Nelson would fit Kahn's running philosophy and make the Wolves much better and much more entertaining immediately. I don't think he'd last long, but he'd give people reason to buy tickets next year.
-Larry Brown is old, stuck in his ways, hard on young point guards and expensive. He's a great coach but he's the guy you bring in to win a championship, not to rebuild.
-Mike Woodson would dramatically improve the Wolves' defense. I'd rank him as the second-best long-term candidate behind Adelman.
-Bernie Bickerstaff. I'm not knocking the man as a coach. He's very accomplished. I just hate the idea of hiring someone so he can groom his son. Kahn may not even be around long enough to see J.B. Bickerstaff replace him.
This would be a move that Glen Taylor should block.
-Tim Brewster saying this Gophers team has lots of talent is another way of him telling us how fraudulent and painfully shallow he is. He left Jerry Kill with one outstanding athlete, Marqueis Gray. Otherwise, the cupboard is bare.
It's one thing to be a ridiculous shill, it's another to be a ridiculous shill who continues to lie to the Minnesota sports fan after someone was stupid enough to hire him for a media job.
Shut up, Timmy.
-Upcoming: I'll be running Sunday Morning Sports Talk with Tom Pelissero from Boomtown in Mankato on Sunday from 10-noon, following the Ron Gardenhire Show from 9-9:30. My twitter handle is @Souhanstrib.
Also, I got to spend some time with Leslie Frazier in his hometown of Columbus, Ms., and my story on Frazier's life will be in the Sunday Star Tribune.

The price was ok
Everything was good.
Price Location
AC too much noise
Could provide coffee IN the room (not just in the main office); TV remote did not work too well.
Talking to office personnal about room.if you're not satisfied,with the room where in it would give us a different room
the smell in the bathroom, room smell like mold
the staff and rooms
everything was good
Dirty shower beds were hard and ac barely worked way over priced especially in the area it was in worst motel 6 I have ever been to
new look. great place to stay for the price
the bed was too hard
Wood floors & decor
No closet or dresser draws to put our things.
The location and the value were my main concerns! My expectations were handily met! We had a wonderful experience, and stay! Thanks so much, Motel 6, and staff!
Table and chairs in the room.
Price is high
Went to corpus with my boyfriend for our vacation and the service was wonderful my boyfriend had lost his glasses when we left the hotel and called the front desk before we left the city and the front disk actually went to the room and checked and called back with in the hour
Everything was gravy baby
The room was stinky and the air conditioner was broken.
Checking out
As soon as we got there & explaining that I just needed to check in to the "hard of hearing manager". She explained I couldn't do so, with out my id that I explained had just been stolen the night before. I showed her my email confirmation my debit cards and even after getting booking.com to switch the reservation names, she still wanted them to fax over the reservation update. Wifi is a joke & random men just standing watching you unload while no security is present at all on the premises. Had to walk to office to get clean towels because the ones that were rolled into the shelf had shoe prints on them. Luckily we had a febreze bottle in the car to help with the smell of our rooms. Horrible experience
I enjoyed my stay I felt very comfortable. The staff were very nice from check in to check out. The staff was also quick to respond to my needs. That was the most important thing for me.
There was one thing that bothered me and it was that I requested a non-smoking room. The room that I was in reeked of cigarette smell. I always carry my own air freshener. So problem solved.
Proximity to beach destination.
Cleanliness of bathroom. Housekeeping did not make beds or replace towels.
Price Updated rooms were nice Pleasant staff Close to the island
Uncomfortable bed Bathroom towels seemed to be stained from dirt Outside of hotel needs maintenance and attention
The price was reasonable.
The room is a little bit small but I guess that is about right for Motel 6.
The rooms are a good size and clean. Its a good place to sleep. Good location near TAMU-CC.
Didn't clean the room unless you asked.
Our room was always clean and orderly.
The shower was too small.
Nice beds
Tv cracked, no microwave in room, no fridge in room, had to pay for wifi. It's the beach need more towels for the shower after the beach. Downstairs didn't have extra towels.
The staff was friendly &knowledgeable. The pool was very well kept & clean. Good size restroom & extra towels at no extra cost. Quiet place to stay as well as safe.
The size of the room was smaller than I expected but the restroom was a decent size. Beds weren't all that comfortable after the 2nd night and a small amt of money disappeared from our room while we went out for dinner. Housekeeping lady is a bit of a flirt with the men though.
Friendly staff and price value
Small rooms and even small bathroom.
Absolutely nothing
1. I was told that the handicapped room would have a single queen size bed. It had a standard bed. My sister, who is handicapped, and I had to share it. The guy at the front desk argued with me that it was a queen but I measured it and it was not. 2. They would not take my AARP discount because I booked through Booking.com and it was a higher price than normal! So I got taken to the cleaners so to speak. 3. The mattress was worn out and I could feel the springs when I sat down on it. I asked for an extra blanket to put under the sheet for padding. This helped some. However, the blanket was still damp from the dryer so we had to hang it over the show rod to dry out before we could go to bed. 4. The ice machines were inadequate for the number of guest rooms. We tried several times at different times of day to get more than a glassful of ice and it was always empty. I finally went to the CVS down the road and bought a bag of ice. 5. The room faced the freeway and no matter what time of day or night, you could hear the traffic. I asked for a room not facing the traffic but they said all the handicapped rooms faced the freeway. 5. The top sheet on the bed the first night was badly stained and so old it was beginning to pill. I know it is a CHEAP hotel, but In short, it was the worst 2 nights I ever spent in a Motel. I could have stayed in a much nicer place for the same price...that is what I get for booking through Booking.com.
Location, accommodating staff, clean room
Bed was uncomfortable.

WING??? GUN-WING??? Pick Your Poison
Harrison on the Double Wing and Gun-Wing:
As a High School Head Coach, I averaged just under 390
yards per game with my Double Wing Offense. That is with
teams that before me were having a hard time making a
first down much less winning. There has
been so much said and written about the Double Wing in
it's unorthodox approach (by today's standards), and I've
probably read and heard them all! In it's beginning, A Policeman turned
football coach named Don Markham developed an offensive
system, whether by accident or just in his own words I
seem to recall, "looking for a good power play", in the
late 80's and early 90's. Coach Markham found himself
coaching in the largest classification in California
High Schools at Bloomington, where in 1994, Don took a
1993, 1-9 Bloomington team and in 1994 went
undefeated and set the national all time scoring record
of 880 points in 14 games. 63 points per game I think it
works out to be.
However that is not how I discovered
it. I was working on my offense one day and on
"goal-line" work noticed my team really responding to
tighter splits and a harder nosed approach to our
offense and so I thought, "hmmm", hey, Why not run
goal-line all over the field. Later on I was looking around
on the net one day into different offensive packages and
tripped up on this double wing stuff. I made a phone
call or two and grilled a few coaches and had them send
me some info. After watching film and some clinic
footage, I knew very quickly that this was going to be
my offense being it fit my football philosophy to the
letter. After implementing it and running it in a
game as a trial, I thought I may never run anything else
and that happens to be the case. I then began really
working and studying the particulars, and tweaking this
thing to the point that many things are unique to the
way I run it. Thus due to some YouTube videos I've
posted along with the success I've had, I find myself
as somewhat of a spokesperson or sounding board of sorts
on this particular offense. So I have and will
do clinics on request.
offense, coached up, squeezes the most out of your
talent. I had been a very successful coach with my old
ways but recognized that this new offense was going to
boost my offense's reliability, BUT be very dependant on
good and rigorous coaching, which was my gig anyway.
I've always coached as if my hair was on fire, so this
hit right in my wheelhouse. The beauty of this Double
wing offense or the "Gun Wing", is that it relies more
on a total TEAM concept, precision, desire, and hard work, than it does actual
God given skills. But like anything, the more skills you
have the better it will be. When you have a group that
is low in skills, speed, or even experience, you can
still be competitive in the double wing by it's low
risk, hard nosed Team oriented design to keep the ball and move
the chains and make the game shorter. What the Double
Wing allows you to do is to replace the talent gap with
hard nosed effort and execution to make up the
difference. You can't do that in other offense of today
spreading your talent thin and in space. The better
players will beat up on the lesser talented kid in space every time. So many times my opponents over the years
have had very explosive teams with great speed and
talent and we just kept the ball with 8 to 10 minute
drives, limiting their opportunities to exploit our
weaknesses on Defense. This is the essence of the Double
wing. The bonuses are that you DO produce big plays and
score a lot as a trade off for maybe looking a little
odd all bunched up, when everyone else in the league is
spread all over the field. This offense is for those who
puts winning above fashion and popularity of the
"Television football educated". My relentless desire to
win has always been what governs my decisions as a
coach, and not the flavor of the month or hip offenses of
the entertainment world. For me, the double wing or "Gun
Wing" is more intriguing than any of those
offenses anyway!
all that is different about my offense, and with all the
Double Wing Ridiculers and Nay Sayers in the armchair
football world, the one group that I find that takes my
offense VERY seriously are the coaches facing it, or
that have faced it. The one thing I know for sure after
running this for over a decade, is that coaches hate
playing it, and defenses hate playing it, and what
better confirmation than that do you need as a coach. No
matter what the outcome, when a team leaves the field
after playing my double wing, they know they usually
have had enough, are beat up, know they have been in a
war, and probably rather not do it again.
being in a position to do some tweaking, I
have implemented something I'd been contemplating since 2005,
when my starting QB broke his arm. That would be the
direct snap Double Wing. I have discovered that it gives
you a few more creativity options and series, and if
coached up, can be as, or more devastating than the
regular DW. There is very little difference, but one huge
bonus outside the X's and O's pluses, is that with the
direct snap, it appears to be similar to what you see on
Saturdays and Sunday Television Football. It immediately
knocks down 90% of the moronic criticism from the
uneducated armchair coaches, parents, and players which
all are headed to the NFL, don't ya know? So it's a win
win all the way. My next coaching venture will be out of
the direct snap Double Wing. I will call it the GUN-WING to keep it simple. I
know of 2 coaches that run it this way, both presently
are 15-0 , undefeated on the season. So I hope to
have some great footage of my Gun-Wing offense next year
to go with the previous Double Wing videos. See
contact page if you would like to order Double Wing
So in
wrapping up this little blurb on The Gun-Wing Offense,
I'll just say for those VERY FEW who have the nerve, the
moxie, and the other stuff to pick up and run this "Wing
Thing", I salute you and "I Understand", and to those
who think it's goofy, odd, and won't work, to that I
say, "I also Understand". This Thing is not for everyone,
and definitely not for the lazy or the "try it and hope"
coaches, but it takes someone who can think and operate
with sound conviction in it's philosophy, and a really
good football physics knowledge to work it, and to
experience it's full value. It has certainly served me
and my philosophy well !
I've had to play the Double Wing a few times
myself.......Not Fun, Not Fun at all. I'd rather have to
defend anything else, quite honestly!
Letter to
I have to
share a letter written to my Principal at NGA written by a
relative of a player who happened to make our State
Championship Game. These are the rewards outside of the ring
that we never expect nor seek, but it's wonderful and quite
rewarding when it happens and reassures us coaches that
occasionally we may be doing something right.
Dear Jim,
(Headmaster NGA),
The evening of Friday 11-19-2004 is an experience I will
never forget and one that I will always cherish. It was a
thrill and a pleasure to be on the sidelines with my family,
old friends, new friends, and those determined Patriot
football players. I have had a career in orthopedic
surgery in sports medicine that includes 35 years on the
sidelines with teams under my care in Virginia and Dalton,
GA. 32 of those years have involved being the Team Physician
for the Dalton High Catamounts. That allowed me to
witness first hand, numerous exciting regular season games,
playoff games, 2 trips to the GEORGIA DOME, and 4 state
championship games with the Dalton Catamounts. This exposure
has resulted in my taking care of athletes from close
to 25 high schools in Northwest and North Central Georgia.
Some of these I treated after they made it to college teams
and even to the NFL. During my training in orthopedic
surgery at the U of Virginia, I had the opportunity to be
the Team Physician for the Roanoke Buckskins in the Atlantic
Coast Football League. I have played the game and know what
it feels like to hurt someone, and get hurt, physically and
emotionally. The reason for the above diatribe is to
express to you, Coach Larry Harrison and the Patriot
Football Team, the impression made on me during my
visit to Rhodes Field. I have never been more
impressed with what I saw on and off the field of play. The
team gave all they had and more, and no one who saw the game
could think otherwise. The fan support was incredible. The
community and surrounding area turned-out in a manner
that created a championship atmosphere. Regardless of
the final score, The Nat-Greene Patriots are Champions.
Their opponent had the size and the numbers, but they did
not have the heart of the gutsy team from the village of
Siloam. I have followed the Patriots all year via
Coach Harrison's website, The Herald-Journal and through
calls from my family. I have bragged about the team to my
Dalton friends, and after the championship game, I have
bragged even more. The misty rain that fell throughout the
game did not dampen the spirits of all those present,
players and fans alike. Thank you so much for allowing me to
be a part of such a wonderful event.
Congratulations to the Patriots for their fine season, and I
look forward to your having additional exciting times.
With warmest regards,

*** I took
a Friday night to visit some Double Wing
friends in Ider, Alabama as they
hosted the states #1 team,
Fyffe. Ider High dresses 27 and Fyffe
over 60 and Well, they ran into
quite a buzz-saw and took a tough one
on the chin. They will bounce
back with the great leadership
of Coach Tinker and Coach Hanna
and the fine kids there. It was
a very fine experience visiting
another teams sideline in a
place removed from my every day.
Great, well mannered kids, being
focused and introspective getting
ready for the fight. Coaches
poised and ready. I knew I was
visiting a great small town
event. Good luck with the rest of your
season Coaches and thanks for
the fabulous experience, well,
other than the final score of
course. We'll talk soon!
AND Bounce back they did with a
night of rushing for over 375
yards. Great job men!!!
***Several more huge offensive outings
of 350+ yards rushing games
pushed Ider's record to 6-3 and
guaranteed play-off spot.
Not a bad leap from last years
1-9 season. "Keep up the great work
Here is Fyffe in red lining up
in the Short snap Double Wing VS Ider, who
ran my offense at the time, the Pure Double wing
(under center).
Very similar offenses. Guess how
many passes were thrown in this
game????? 0 unless I missed one! Guess they
may have a lot of splaining to
do it being 2014 and all. I'm
guessing that both coaches
prefer results over fashion.
Fyffe is a perennial AA top
finisher under the guidance of
legendary Coach Paul Benefield.
And why wouldn't he be
legendary, he runs my
offense! yuck yuck!
to the Fyffe Red Devils for
winning their first (Alabama
AA)State Championship in school
history over a very athletic and
talented Elba Team 28-17. Coach
Benefield and the Devils run my
offense, the Gun Wing, about as
good as you can run it, and
averaged 50+ points per game
during the season.
A few small segments of the
Highlights of Harrison's teams are on this site as well as
YouTube. Search Coach Harrison's Double Wing and some should
pop up. There are well over 2 and 1/2 hours of
action only highlights available on DVD on this site,
but only a few small bits are on YouTube.
Will resume at the next
coaching project.

Harrison at Nathanael Greene Academy 2004 - 2006th
Harrison: This site
started as a very small simple family site but with coaching,
and incorporating my football, it quickly became a full
blown Football
site... I had noticed that many coaches and teams had a site
and the various football coaching sites so, hey, I figured I
may as well have one too. So, this site works well in keeping in
touch with other coaches on all levels that do some of the
things I do. I think the main thing that launched it
into this football site is the learning and the teaching of
the offense, and defense I run, and sharing experiences etc..
From the beginning of my
coaching life, I've had certain very ingrained ideas about
coaching and getting the most out of kids, and these ideas
were developed from having very good youth and high school
coaches having an impact on me. Having my ideas pan out in very successful
campaigns help to solidify my philosophy and the thinks I do. I have learned to live with the criticism of
being a bit unorthodox, but believe me, everything I do
coaching is for a very good reason. Sometimes, it may not
look exactly like the NFL but what I do, and what I think
any good coach should do, is to give your kids the best
possible chance to be successful. I'm not real concerned
about how pretty it is, or if I'm preparing one individual
for a career, or if I look like some big-time pro football
coach. I'm concerned about the team and all the kids as well
as our representation of our parents and school. I am
concerned about bringing success to our program and having
the kids have fun playing football. If we have a standout
athlete, he will stand out big-time. If we don't, the team hopefully will still
stand out because of our preparation and competitiveness.
This policy has never
failed me or any other coach I've admired over the years.
What I have learned is that with the right preparation,
approach to this game, and a good communication with the kids
themselves, you end up with kids playing over their
abilities, having fun,
and many kids standout, not just the one special kid, who is
going to be good anyway! LH

Coach Harrison, after a rest
from football, returned in 2014
to help Mark Adams at Druid Hills
High School. After being
prematurely vaulted into the storied 6-AAAAA region,
arguably the most athletic
region in the state, and not
expecting to compete at that high level,
The Druid Hills team came
roaring out of the blocks, winning 4 out of
their first 6 games, with 3
over heavy favorites and
dropping one by only 3 points.
This uncharacteristic winning
streak earned Mark Adams,
EMC Head Coach of the Week
in week 5.
Coach Harrison will
be moving on to his next
coaching project but
wanted to wish the very best for all
the fine people of the Druid

Beckett wrote this at 26 - my age - and initially had it rejected by everyone he sent it to, and later refused to have it published until after he died. This book shows off his intellect, multi-lingual vocabulary, and his ability to manipulate language, but for the most part, it feels like he's just showing off, and hasn't really found his own voice yet - Joyce's influence here is probably too obvious to even mention. Parts are profound, and worth slogging through the whole book to get to, but I ...more

The night firmament is abstract density of music, symphony without end, illumination without end, yet emptier, more sparsely lit, than the most succinct constellations of genius. Now seen merely, a depthless lining of hemisphere, its crazy stippling of stars, it is the passional movement of the mind charted in light and darkness.

Reading this particular novel was on the whole an incredibly messy & discombobulated experience, and yet there are some commendable strengths, one example being the foibles of a humorous love-triangle articulated from the point of view of the protagonist, Belacqua. The novel is grossly slipshod in maintaining a fluid narrative progression, at times the novel would slather itself on the extraneous and peripheral (most readers can tell when a young exuberant writer is laying on a little too mu...more

This book was largely incomprehensible. At times the language became quite beautiful, but I never knew how it related to the larger text or really how any single sentence had much to do with another. Also the book has a tendency to slip into French which definitely slows thing down and there are several German and Latin phrases in there as well which are never explained. But none of this really matters at all because the English is so damn abstruse. Can I tell you what this story is precisely ab ...more

As a young writer, who sees a world of creativity, experimentalism and uncertainty all around him I affirm that this book is the essence of what I feel right now. Beckett wasn't one who sure where to put his thoughts but made his effort (a grand one at that) to make collect all of it into this novel. This novel therefore is madness, which is not for everyone. But it is a genius type madness of language, color, humor and music. I actually rate this a 4.5 but I round it off to 5. The introductions ...more

This is one of the most musical books I've ever read, right up there with Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood" and William Gass' "The Tunnel." It's a hell of a lot of fun to read out loud. Beckett's youth obviously shows in this book since it was his first novel, but the turmoil of language on display makes a great case for his vital and huge sense of humor, which for some reason often goes unrecognized in any discussion of him. You can see him struggling to write both around and exactly what he thin ...more

Then it goes. The wretched reader takes off his coat and squares up to the book, squares up to his poetry like a cocky little hop-me-thumb, hisses up his mind and pecks and picks wherever he smells a chink. And the old corduroy mode, when you switched on and put in the plug and dropped everything, let yourself go to the book, and it do the work and dephlogisticate you like a current of just the right frequency, once gone is gone for ever.
Aug 05, 2013 Matthew added it
Fair to middling sounds about right. On the one hand, it's Beckett, so it's obviously got some amazing sentences and intermittent bleak hilarity. But on the other hand, I'm not sure if I'll finish it. The best bits were subsequently scavenged for More Pricks Than Kicks, and the rest of it is clearly the work of a young writer still finding his voice and way too enamored with James Joyce for his own good.

Shelves: samuel-beckett, skipping
To his credit, Beckett didn't want this pastiche of allusive Joyce-esque writings published. I don't imagine that it would repay the effort required. Skipping this one and sticking with the biographer's summary.

Not saying I'm great, but it was pretty easy =/

Report: Pack's Bakhtiari re-entered after injury
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)
A Fox sideline reporter said during Sunday's game that Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari forced his way back on to the field for a play while being evaluated for a concussion during the team's 23-20 loss Sunday to the San Francisco 49ers.
Reporter Pam Oliver said Bakhtiari took part in an extra-point attempt after getting hurt during a play on which teammate John Kuhn scored on 1-yard touchdown run with 12:06 left in regulation.
Bakhtiari was then taken to the locker room for further evaluation. He was eventually diagnosed with a concussion and did not return.
Spokesmen for both the NFL and the Packers said they were looking into the report.
The NFL is very strict on having teams follow a concussion diagnosis protocol once a player is suspected of having such an injury.
