Techno remix senior highlights: Also here's a lot of stuff from the Semper Fi game: Junior highlights come highly recommended since they include a lot of Hurst being a terrifying/hilarious running back. Stay for the first TD run at 30 seconds. |
I am trying to keep things reasonable around these parts, but I watched Maurice Hurst's highlight reel and now I'm impressed. You know those defensive line drills where you start out in a stance and then burst upwards into a fake opponent's chest? Maurice Hurst is going to be awesome at that. Also now I'm just going to grab that run and put it right here because it is delightful:
His coach on that:
"For a kid who's that big, to make that kind of athletic move, and to run as quickly as he did, was OK," Stevenson said.
It was actually that run that put Hurst on a lot of maps, including Michigan's.
"We tell all the college coaches he's a defensive lineman and that's what they're recruiting him as, then all these defensive coordinators, this guy from Michigan, Billy McGovern from BC, they come in and sit down and they go, 'Oh ya, that 75-yard touchdown was unbelievable.'
"Billy McGovern says he ran it back and asked all the guys in the room, 'Do we have anyone who can do that?' They go, 'No.' Well OK, we're offering him.''
Michigan fired out an offer to him as well and that was about that. Hurst is a high-academic kid who had an OSU offer but was looking for something else…
"Academics are my big priority. Football ends, so I want a degree that will last a lifetime, one that is more than a piece of paper. UVa and Michigan are tremendous schools and offer prestigious degrees."
…and cut his list to Michigan and Virginia—a pattern emerges—before a visit to Ann Arbor sealed the deal last June.
Michigan has won themselves a quick first step attached to a body. That body is not enormous like Ondre Pipkins's or a single pulsating muscle like Mike Martin's. Hurst does not pass the look test… until you snap the ball.
When Hurst was a freshman, the first thing Stevenson noticed wasn't his size, his competitiveness, or his skills. It was his first step.
"I think probably the first indication to me was my defensive coordinator Al Fornaro said, 'You've got to see this guy come off the ball.' I looked and went yay. … I would compare his first step to a kid who played for us the late '90s, Scott Bradley. Scott had a tremendous first step and that was the thing that sold all the coaches on Scotty, that first step. The difference between the two is that Scotty was 215 pounds, Mo is 295 pounds. If you're 295 and can do what a 215-pounder does, you're a good football player.''
This is the first time in the history of this series it has caught a hard-nosed gravel-eating sonsabitch high school football coach describing something as "yay."
Hurst wasn't much of a camp guy, only appearing at one area event when he was a rising junior, but he left a similar impression.
… has a nice frame that can still add weight but what really stands out about him is his quickness off the ball and his light feet. Hurst beat most of his opponents with his first step and he was able to win the leverage game most of the time as well. At times he can be too upright and present too much of a target. His footwork is excellent and he has natural balance, and he is very good at responding quickly to the initial punch of offensive linemen. He also showed a good motor.
Every evaluation continues in a similar vein. Rivals praises his "great burst first step" in their Areas of Improvement(!) for him by mentioning he needs to use it more consistently. They're just going off his highlight film but they also like his technique:
Hurst uses his hands extremely well for a young player. On each play he is seen using his hands to control his opponent, quickly dismissing a block, or maintaining leverage as he pursues the ball carrier. Good balance is critical for interior line play and Hurst shows that with impressive body control.
In other news of a similar variety:
- Coach: "He's a great athlete…. His first step off the line of scrimmage is very strong, and he's very powerful."
- An opposing coach: "We tried to run away from him but sometimes that's worse because he's so quick."
- Scout's take: "Hurst is athletic, explosive, moves his feet well, has a few nice techniques he uses to get into the backfield and runs well for a defensive lineman."
On the downside, ESPN's evaluation is heavy on words like "capable," "flashes," "adequate," and "consistently." Unlike some ESPN profiles, the drapes do match the carpet here. It sounds like a three-star eval.
…capable of being disruptive. … You would like to see more consistency but displays a good first-step that can allow him to quickly get penetration. He is at his best when he can fire out and primarily be a penetrator that disrupts schemes. Flashes the ability to be tough when taking on blockers as he can quickly fire out low and gain leverage and with solid strength hold his ground. While he does possess a quick first-step he can at times almost as quickly pop up and play tall and needs to work to consistently keep his pads down. … Hurst is capable of quickly getting off the ball and being disruptive and if he can continue to maintain that while adding size and rounding out his game he can develop into a good and productive college defensive tackle.
Fair enough.
Despite some impressive offers, Hurst's visibility was pretty low for much of his recruitment. The competition level in Massachusetts is… uh… not high, and after that one camp before his junior year Hurst ditched the camp scene.
Hurst's relative obscurity was somewhat lifted by his appearance at the Semper Fi game. While Semper Fi is clearly #3 in the All Star pecking order it's still a major step up in competition for everybody there, let alone a guy tossing around MA kids. Hurst did well, acquiring a sack on one of his first snaps in the game itself and impressing everyone in practice. 247 Pitt analyst Bob Lichtenfels is just answering Pitt questions here and drops in a Hurst mention:
Michigan pledge Maurice Hurst Jr. was a beast.
Hurst was beasting despite having strep throat.
"He struggled between plays," said northeast recruiting analyst Brian Dohn. "It looked like he could barely move. Once the ball snapped, he was a complete animal. His explosion is terrific. His aggressiveness and ability to get underneath lineman is tremendous. And what impressed me the most about him, was beside his physical ability, was the toughness he showed in practicing for two days when he was just sick as a dog."
247's Barton Simmons:
Hurst is the type of player that you don't really notice when he's standing in the huddle but as soon as the ball is snapped, he shows up quickly. His play on Wednesday was characterized by high effort, an intensity to get to the football, and quickness to get into the backfield. The Michigan commit has been one of the better practice players this week.
247 and Scout moved them into their top lists as a solid four star; Rivals barely covered Semper Fi, apparently sending one guy to cover 100 or so players. Hurst didn't get a mention in the one article about who might be good on his team.
Michigan projects Hurst will add a ton of weight, telling his coach they think he'll end up pushing 330 pounds. That would make him a nose all the way. That'll also take a bit of time. While he's bulking up he may find some time as a three-tech. He's got the burst to be effective there and is already larger than Jibreel Black; while I expect a redshirt since Michigan seems to have a solid two deep (or more) at both spots Hurst can play, playing time could come as early as next year if he has the versatility to play two spots.
Etc.: Hurst's senior year stats were eye-popping as you might expect from a kid headed to Michigan playing against Massachusetts folk: 23 TFLs and 11 sacks. At press time, Hurst's most recent tweet is "Need food" and his location is "A BACKFIELD NEAR YOU." Instagram is something. TTB interview. Tap dancing!
Tell us something that most people do not know about you?
MH: Most people do not know that when I was younger from first grade until about fifth grade I took tap dancing and I really believe that it helped me with my foot work on the football field.
On the difficulty of his decision: "Not that difficult. After coming in, there was just that feeling, 'What if I went somewhere else?' or 'What if I committed when I thought I could go to another school?' At first I thought I was gonna commit to BC, then I thought I was gonna go to Virginia. Then Michigan came along, and I knew this was the school I wanted to go to."
"He's a great kid," Stevenson said. "He's a captain for next year. He's a good worker in the weight room, he's a good leader for his teammates as far as his work ethic, and I've never heard anything negative from his teachers. He's done some community service helping with the elderly, helping at a shelter for abused women, and at a place where they provide help to feed the poor."
Why Mike Martin? Two words: snap explosion.
Martin was a bit higher rated—consensus four star outside the top 100, IIRC—and an ever-growing slab of pulsating muscle from day one. Hurst isn't going to be quite as ripped, but he is a kid who can get off the ball in a flash, bury himself in the chest of the opponent, and then rip through the dude before he knows what's going on.
Guru Reliability: Low. Significant disparity, Massachusetts is virtually ignored, apparently did not hit a single camp, though he did show for the Semper Fi game and impress.
Variance: Moderate. Another guy with the opposite of character issues. Coming from seriously weak high school competition, which makes for hilarious highlight reels but also uncertainty.
Ceiling: High-minus. Love, love his quickness and he has adequate size. Probably not a guy with first round upside, though.
General Excitement Level: High. I know, I know, I'm just a bubbly 14-year-old girl about this recruiting class, but what can I say? Hurst is a guy who has bloodlines, can make a reasonable case he was overlooked because of his state, stature and camp avoidance, and blew up at an All Star game that caused everyone who paid attention to shoot him up in the rankings. And if you're asking me the #1 thing I want to hear about a DT "explosive first step" is it.
Projection: Ondre Pipkins had better get on his horse because Willie Henry and Hurst are coming for him.
Hurst should be a redshirt lock with a solid three-deep in front of him. In year two the three guys mentioned will have a battle royale for the starting spot Quinton Washington vacates, with the runner-up also getting a significant amount of playing time. Pipkins is still the favorite, but I would not rule out Hurst becoming a productive backup as quickly as next year. Failing that he should emerge into a rotation nose tackle as a redshirt junior, if he is not the starter.
Hurst also has the potential to compete at three-tech with his explosion, and if things are going well at nose I expect he will be moved there and be a heavy rotation feature, whether that's behind or in front of Chris Wormley. He should be getting significant snaps by year three, if not earlier.
Thursday Recruitin' Talks About Practice
Today's recruiting roundup covers the various All-American bowl practices, the latest on Derrick Green, and (debunked) rumors about a commit taking visits.
Say "Tease"
L to R: Jourdan Lewis, Dymonte Thomas, Derrick Green, Jake Butt, Chris Fox
Michigan has four commits at the Army All-American Game and many are wondering if they'll soon have a fifth after VA RB Derrick Green jumped into a picture with them (above, via). Green conducted a live chat on Rivals yesterday, reiterating that Michigan is his top school, holding a "small" lead over the field—Auburn, Tennessee, Miami, Florida State, and USC. He also got the Fred Jackson Seal of Approval for this quote:
Comment From Guest
Who would you compare your running style to?Derrick Green: I compare my running style to a combination of Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker and Trent Richardson
Green mentioned the possibility of committing within the next week or so—though not at the Army game itself—but also stated a desire to take his two remaining official visits even after he commits; if his choice is Michigan, he'd obviously have to talk that out with the coaches.
FL S Leon McQuay III is set to announce on Friday and the sense from insiders is that Florida State—the presumed pick—and USC both hold an edge on Michigan, and quite possibly Vanderbilt does as well. If he holds off on making a decision, which Sam Webb has mentioned as a slight possibility, then the Wolverines could have hope; as it stands, not so much.
Matters are looking better for CA OL Cameron Hunt, at least if Patrick Kugler is to be believed:
Ok all Michigan fans follow @cjhunt78... trust me its comin soon #GoBlue
— Patrick Kugler (@Kugleybear57) January 3, 2013
Hunt will take his official visit to Ann Arbor on January 11th.
Michigan is out of the running for for Wisconsin commit Marcus Ball, according to 247's Evan Flood. The Wolverines were pursuing Ball as a linebacker.

Thursday Recruitin' Pushes The Pile
Today's recruiting roundup covers new offers in both the '13 and '14 classes, the updated Rivals rankings, and more.
Found: Goal Line Back, Destroyer Of Worlds
If you like to watch enormous people destroy things, you'll very much enjoy Maurice Hurst Jr.'s senior highlight tape:
About the only thing that's missing is him beating a block in a fashion other than bull rush. When your bull rush works like this, though, there's not much reason to switch things up at the high school level:
When you're done marveling at MASS DESTRUCTION, check out the "block" by the fullback
Also, if Hurst is never used as a goal-line back at Michigan, I'll be a very sad panda.
247 released senior highlights of Jake Butt this week, as well—he did impressive work on offense this season, lining up both as a traditional tight end and split out wide.
[Hit THE JUMP for a roundup of Michigan's latest offers, the updated 2013 Rivals rankings, and more.]
Monday Recruitin' Breastfed A Flamingo Back To Health
Today's recruiting roundup discusses Laquon Treadwell's new top five, the Gareon Conley non-situation, last weekend's high school football action, and more.
Noted Amateur Chef Names Top Five
As you'll learn from the above video, IL WR Laquon Treadwell apparently has some talent in the kitchen in addition to the football field. You'll also find out that he has a new top five, in no particular order, of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Michigan State, and Michigan. It appears this was "Interview Laquon Treadwell Week" as you learn from various sources that:
- Treadwell's list is a final one... for now, via Rivals' Josh Helmholdt ($).
- He's "basically ready to get this over with" after he takes his officials, while the two Oklahoma schools and Ole Miss have been in the most contact, via 247's Steve Wiltfong ($).
- He's probably going to announce his decision at the Under Armour All-American game, though possibly earlier, according to ESPN's Chantel Jennings ($).
Treadwell has official visits in the works for Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Ole Miss, and plans to take unofficials to Ann Arbor (for the MSU game) and East Lansing before making a decision.
As for the direction this one is headed, I don't know, man. I still feel like Michigan has a better shot than any other school on the list; the problem is there are four other schools on the list, and the only choice that would truly shock me is Michigan State. We'll see what he's saying after his visit for the State game; if Michigan hasn't distinguished themselves from the field at that point, it's cause for serious concern.
[Hit THE JUMP for the latest on Gareon Conley, commitment stat updates, and more.]
Monday Recruitin' Is Focused
Today's recruiting roundup discusses last weekend's high school football action, the latest on Leon McQuay III, and the inspiring story of David Dawson.
Warning: Dust Storm Ahead
At Cass Tech's game against Detroit Renaissance a couple weeks ago, Technician lineman and Michigan commit David Dawson received his Under Armour All-American jersey in a halftime ceremony. As you can see above, it was an emotional moment for Dawson and his family, for reasons that went far beyond the football field; it's been a tumultuous year for Dawson, who lost his father in a car accident in April.
Your must-read article of today, then, is Mick McCabe's tear-jerker of a profile on Dawson—it's hard to imagine going through such a difficult situation as a high school senior:
"One day, a few days before the accident, I got in the car and he was staring at me for 5 minutes," Dawson said. "I asked him why he was staring at me. He said: 'I'm extremely proud of what you're doing now.' When I thought about that, it sent me into an emotional wreck."
When his father died, nothing seemed important to Dawson anymore. Not football, not school, not anything.
"He's still dealing with it," said his mother. "He's a little better. He's getting through it. I let him talk about it. If he has to cry, he cries; if he has to talk, he'll talk.["]
There's much more in the full article, from similarly heartbreaking reflections on Dawson's father to more lighthearted anecdotes about his football career. You root for every commit to excel at Michigan, of course, but you root extra hard for David Dawson.
[Commitment stat roundup and much more after THE JUMP.]
Monday Recruitin' Kicks Butt (NTB)
Today's recruiting roundup wraps up last weekend's high school football action and more.
Jake "Butts" In Early*
Tim Sullivan reports that tight end commit Jake Butt made arrangements with his high school and the Michigan coaching staff to graduate in December and enroll early ($). Kyle Bosch, Taco Charlton, Ross Douglas, and Logan Tuley-Tillman are also slated to arrive in Ann Arbor this winter, and Dymonte Thomas will likely join that number as well.
Given the lack of depth at tight end, this is great news for the Wolverines. Devin "The Funchess" Funchess emerged on Saturday as the future at the position, but he's more of an H-back ("U"-back in the Borges offense) or big wide receiver than a traditional tight end, while Butt has the versatility to play with his hand down or off the line. Butt has a good shot at earning a large role in the offense next year and this increases his shot of earning a starting job right away.
*Jesus, I'm sorry.
Backs On Backs On Backs
Michigan only has two running backs committed in the class of 2013, but you wouldn't know that based on last weekend's high school football games. Cornerback commit Ross Douglas rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries to lead Avon to a 40-14 victory. Future Wolverine linebacker Ben Gedeon tallied 107 yards on 18 carries to help Hudson to a win of their own. Safety Dymonte Thomas spearheaded a Marlington comeback with 166 yards and two touchdowns—including the go-ahead score—on 19 carries. Then there was 285-pound nose tackle Maurice Hurst Jr., who pounded in a one-yard touchdown in a Xaverian Brothers blowout victory, set up by a 24-yard run in which he dragged two defenders to the brink of the goal line.
Actual running back DeVeon Smith toted the rock 26 times for 183 yards and the game-winning touchdown for Warren Howland despite a sore shoulder, but that's to be expected, right?
It's hard to believe, but some Michigan commits had the nerve to excel at non-RB positions over the weekend, as well. Two-way lineman Chris Fox, who is slated to play guard for Michigan, paved the way for a 34-14 Ponderosa victory and earned the admiration of a Highlands Ranch coach:
"Hey, Foxie," an opposing assistant coach yelled Saturday afternoon after the final play. "Great job. You kicked our butts."
Shane Morris, who received his Under Armour All-American Game jersey at a school pep rally last Thursday, completed 9-of-18 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown as De La Salle beat Dearborn Fordson, 40-19.
Wide receiver Jaron Dukes hauled in six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown to help Marion-Franklin to a 28-3 victory over Canal Winchester.
Perhaps the biggest star of the weekend, however, was Gilman DT Henry Poggi, who tallied 11 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks in a 13-6 triumph over national powerhouse Don Bosco Prep. The loss snapped a 46-game winning streak for the Ironmen.
While the Air Force game wasn't the huge visit weekend that Michigan State will be, there will still some major targets on campus. A large Cass Tech contingent made the short trip from Detroit, including 2014 CB Damon Webb, who told Tremendous that he could see himself ending up in Maize and Blue. 2014 Grand Rapids Christian OL Tommy Doles took in the game and told Allen Trieu($) that the B2 stealth bomber flyover was "incredible." 2013 in-state kicker J.J. McGrath was on hand as well and told Tremendous the visit really helped Michigan, though the deciding factor for him will likely be which school offers him a scholarship.
Things have been quiet on the Joe Mathis front, at least where Michigan is concerned, and it sounds like it could stay that way for the 2013 California four-star: he told Rivals analyst Adam Gorney that he plans to take official visits to Texas A&M, Washington, and Utah, and isn't sure where else he'll visit following a good trip to UCLA ($).
Happy trails to 2014 five-star AL RB Bo Scarbrough, who predictably made an early pledge to hometown squad Alabama.

Archive: June, 2011
Highlights of the nearly $27.2 billion state budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year that passed the House and Senate:
— An overall decrease in spending of about 3 percent.
With the legislature set to send Gov. Corbett a $27.15 billion spending plan for his signature, a last-minute disagreement over a school taxes bill could scuttle sealing the budget deal.
The bill would make changes to Act 1, the Rendell-era law that requires school districts to get voter approval if they want to raise taxes above a state-set inflation rate, with many exceptions. Corbett has said he wants the legislation to reach his desk together with the budget, but as of Thursday afternoon, the administration and the legislature were at loggerheads over it. The administration wants to amend Act 1 to eliminate almost all of those exceptions.
Amid the budget chaos, will the log jam on a gas tax/impact fee be broken?
State House officials say a proposal to tax natural gas extraction will be considered today.
Republican spokesman Steve Miskin said Tuesday the debate was expected this afternoon on several proposals filed as amendments to a hazardous materials bill that's already passed the state Senate.
The tentative contract agreement reached between the Corbett Administration and two of the state's largest public employee unions fits the spending parameters set by the governor and Republican legislators and will not hold up the state budget, an administration leader said today.
Administration negotiators struck a deal with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the Pennsylvania Social Services Union at the end of last week, said Secretary of Administration Kelly Powell Logan.
The 4-year deal includes 18 months of wage freezes and increasing health care contributions by state employees -- two of the demands made by Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in his starting offer to the unions.
State Education Secretary Ron Tomalis said Monday he is pushing to enact school tuition voucher legislation before state lawmakers breaks for their summer recess, joining the governor and special interest groups calling for immediate education reforms.
Tomalis aired his position in an address to the Pennsylvania Press Club, warning that improvements in Pennsylvania students' test scores have slowed over the past decade despite rapid spending increases on education.
"My hope is that we can get some type of school choice passed in the next week," Tomalis said to a crowd of about 100 reporters, educators and administrators. "I think it can happen. It's the most important issue in education right now for Pennsylvanians."
In his March budget address, Gov. Corbett proposed slashing funding for state-related universities by 50 percent, sparking alarmed talk of tuition increases and program cuts.
Now the GOP-led legislature has taken the first step toward putting most of the money back.
A state House panel agreed to restore most of the funding for Penn State, Temple, Lincoln and University of Pittburgh. The House Appropriations Committee is cutting only 19 percent of the funding for the four schools in the fiscal year that begins July 1. That brings the Temple allocation down from $172 million last year to $140 million this year and Lincoln from $13.7 million last year to $11. million this year.
Perhaps the House Democrats ought to consider a DUI caucus - or at least providing members with alcohol awareness training.
For the third time in two months a House Democratic lawmaker has been charged with DUI.
This time it was Lehigh County Rep. Joseph Brennan who was arrested at his district office Wednesday afternoon.
The ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee today predicted the state's surplus could top $700 million by the June 30 budget deadline and called on Republicans to spend the money to restore pending cuts to education and welfare.
Sen. Vincent Hughes (D., Phila.) said state revenues for the first six months of 2011 have come in about $675 million over the Corbett Administration's estimates.
The legislature's Republican majority is expected to put roughly half of the surplus into the budget, but party leaders have provided few concrete details about where that money will be directed after reaching a tentative deal Thursday.

Forcing wordwrap() to ignore HTML tags
Yesterday I received help regarding the functino wordwrap(). It's good but after a bit I noticed it wraps HTML tags too.
Like, I have a long sentence which includes <b></b>, some font color styling etc. and it gets messed up when it adds in a space between. (I.e. </f ont>, < /b> etc.)
Then I researched it a bit and found some people posting their custom wordwrap function which ignores HTML tags, but apparently some letters are missing, when I output my string.
Does anyone have an idea of how I could do this?
EDIT: I just found this: http://php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php#89782
Apparently it works fine for me at this point, although there's a notice about an issue in the script.
Considering everything works as it should right now, my issue is resolved. But if anyone knows anything about it, please tell me.Last edited by [vengeance]; 10-11-2009 at 06:10 PM.

8 Wild Revelations from Steven Tyler's Memoir
As anyone who's either watched American Idol this season or paid attention to rock music over the last 40 years can attest, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is capable of some outrageous behavior. Naturally, his memoir, Does The Noise In My Head Bother You? (Ecco), is loaded with enough badass tales of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll mayhem to make Keith Richards' autobiography Life look choirboy-cute by comparison. Is it a sharply written masterpiece? Far from it. Is it a fun read? You betcha. For the benefit of all you CliffsNotes fans out there, we've compiled the book's wildest and weirdest revelations.
1: Did the dude look like a lady? Tyler isn't saying, but he does admit to having a homosexual tryst in his youth. "Gay sex just doesn't do it for me," he reveals. "I tried it one time when I was younger, but just didn't dig it."
2: Tyler was rehab buddies with rock royalty (sort of). In December 2009, after another drug relapse, Tyler checked into a Betty Ford clinic. When he arrived, Tyler recalls being greeted by Ivan Followill, the father of the Kings of Leon's Caleb, Nathan, and Jared. "His kids didn't like the way their dad was behaving," Tyler writes. "He'd remarried and they hated his new wife, he was getting drunk all the time, running trucks and buses off the road — he was the band's tour manager — just fucked up shit. So they sent him to rehab, and so I spent the next month in the best of company with the Kings of Leon's dad."
3: Tyler was contacted by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page in 2008 with an offer to form a band with ex-Zep members Page and John Paul Jones, as well as John Bonham's son Jason. The quartet rehearsed once, "but I soon realized it wasn't going to work," writes Tyler. "Not that I couldn't sing the stuff, I could do Led Zep in my sleep, but I wasn't Robert Plant, and Robert wasn't anything like me. Fans want to hear 'Percy' [Plant's nickname] wail on 'Whole Lotta Love,' 'Communication Breakdown,' etc. It never would have been the same."
4: Tyler knows his drugs, which isn't exactly a shocker, but the range of narcotics with which Tyler is familiar is impressive in an encyclopedic kind of way. Here are some of the uppers, downers, and in-betweeners that get mentioned in Noise: Seroquel, Neurontin, Xanax, Benzodiazepine, Valium, Librium, Cocaine, OxyContin, Lunesta, Suboxone, Dexedrine, Benzedrine, Marijuana, Heroin, Tuinol, Methamphetamine, Seconal, Amyl Nitrate, Laudanum, Quaaludes, Dilaudid, Methadone, Clonidine, LSD, Hashish, Opium, etc., etc.
5: This stick-thin, anti-establishment hell raiser was actually a bit of a jock. "I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row." [Editor's Note: Trampolining became an Olympic sport in 2000.]
6: Tyler and Joe Perry have shared some very, uh, intimate experiences. "I remember one night on the road when Joe and I were sharing a bed with two girls and woke up in the morning with a seafood blue plate special... Crabs for everybody!"
7: Aerosmith wasn't always loved by its road crew. "I found out years later (through a crew member confessional) that when the techs would get pissed off at the band, they'd wipe their ass with the bologna and put back on the deli tray."
8: During their '70s heyday, Aerosmith didn't always wait till after the show to party. "Joe [Perry] had vials of coke with straws in them at the back of the stage, and when the lights would go out he'd go over there like he was checking something or making a guitar change and [a roadie] would put the straw in his nose; he'd take a hit, then the lights would come on again."

The Masters 2012 is set to get underway tomorrow (Thursday, April 5) and the field is packed full of talent.

There are some things that you don't need to do every day, yet are still important enough to warrant a reminder. You know, like vacuuming, or checking your stock portfolio, or reminding yourself to tweet about how incredibly important it is to bring Firefly back to television. Google's got your back: at some point they added an "occasionally" option to Google Now's built-in reminders, triggered when you tell Now to "remind me" to do something.
Google Now is a powerful tool. A step toward Google's vision of a Star Trek computer in the palm of your hand, Now is built to serve up information that you need, exactly when you need it, without you asking for it.
To that end, the service has seen many improvements since its debut. It will tell you when your favorite teams are playing, when you need to leave to make it to the airport on time, whether your plane is delayed, and plenty of info about your destination and surrounding attractions, among numerous other things.
Google Search teardowns are always a huge mess, because there's really no way of knowing what is or isn't implemented. I'm up against a scary combination of Now's entirely context-based UI and Voice Actions, which has absolutely no UI. Rather than try and guess at what does or doesn't work, I'll just post everything that Google neglected to add in the change log. If you manage to see something working, send in a screenshot and I'll add it.

I've just found out that Dell in it's wisdom have discontinued the 18 inch models in their laptop range.I think this is a VERY short sighted decision.Alienware are marketed as and I quote "The most powerful laptop in the universe" end quote.Dell have released a second rate device called an "AMP" which is "supposed" to increase the 17,15 nd 13 inch's video power, long story short - It doesn't.So this being the case, why would Dell remove what is known worldwide to be one of the best and most powerful laptops available from a range dedicated to gaming that is not only marketed as "All powerful" but also the best in the world.Not a happy camper.IMO - A very bad decision.Bring back the king of laptops........

Migrating data centers to SSDs creates a great impact not only to the performance, eve to the environment. There are major factors under which it can be analyzed:1. Performance.It's aknown fact that SSDs can perform more efficiently compared to their conventional counterparts.2. Efficiency.SSDs are silent, consume very less power and generate very less amount of heat. Data centers will be faster compared to that traditional model.3. Impact.As efficiency is explained, the impact is very high. Power consumption of data centers get reduced, investment on cooling solutions can be reduced and data centers will not disturb the natural environment making it greener.

We already have a few Equallogic hybrid arrays which have provided a decent bump in performance versus their non-SSD counterparts, but are looking to start transitioning to all SSD storage arrays for the increased performance to support our increasingly virtualized environment (will be approaching 98% virtualized by EOY) while also reducing our power draw and cooling requirements. Additionally looking down the road 5+ years we feel that all flash arrays will become the norm as costs continue to come down, and technologies like dedupe and compression become common place in tier 1 storage.As we make the move to AFA storage, we plan to make use of SSDs in our ESXi hosts for server side caching via vFRC or PernixData's FVP to offload demand from our SAN and provide a better experience to our customers.
Categories: Desktops and Laptops, Servers and Storage,
I am a HUGE fan and believer in the SSD - it is the truest and most "real" upgrade you can make to your computer to see and feel a real difference since the days of low-memory systems, where upgrading RAM would allow more to run at once, giving the feel of a faster computer. That said, I have yet to work on an enterprise project where I could justify the price of SSD's for the storage medium. Granted, I have not worked on mission-critical, cutting-edge projects either, but while I feel that it would make a significant and meaningful upgrade to any organization, the simply fact of the matter is that the current cost is prohibitive to MOST organizations. The technology has still priced itself out of the range of every day businesses. Take the following, for example: Retail/Consumer SSD: Samsung 840 EVO SATA/500GB - $274 Dell-branded/cobranded enterprise SSD: Dell SSD Value(?) SATA/400GB - $1,268 Slap a SAS interface on it: Dell SSD Value(?) SAS/400GB - $2,611 What is this? Presumably the same thing orderable in the system above?: Dell aftermarket SSD SAS/400GB - $3,500 http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=342-5638&mfgpid=204325&chassisid=8846 At FIVE TIMES the price of a consumer SSD, that is hard to justify, and hard to show any ROI, except in cases where extreme performance is required and the budget reflects that need (and budget makers/approvers understand such a need). It's no wonder that people are buying their own SSD's to populate in their servers. Dell has LONG over-inflated prices on add-on products ... just for illustration: New 900GB/10K SAS, Part Number: PCDHP From Dell - $650: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=342-2978&mfgpid=204325&chassisid=8846 From Yobitech - $335: http://www.yobitech.com/Part_PCDHP_Original_Dell_900GB_10000_p/pcdhp.htm New 1TB NLSAS, Part Number: MTKFK From Dell - $560 http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=342-3520&mfgpid=204325&chassisid=8846 From ServerSupply - $255 http://www.serversupply.com/HARD%20DRIVES%20W-TRAY/SATA-II/1TB-7200RPM/DELL/MTKFK.htm If Dell and Samsung are serious about "owning" the industry when it comes to SSD in the datacenter, they HAVE to do better on price.

So Sony has this technology called Floating Touch which enables touchscreen mobile devices to use hover commands like a PC would. Where you hover over a link and you get more details on the link. So I had the idea of using this technology to enlarge buttons and links on the mobile browser. Like if you wanted to full screen a video on youtube the button can be rather small to try and touch but if by hovering over it this enlarged the button for you it would be much easier! Same with links and any other thing that would make navigation easier! I know this sounds like an idea for Apple or something lol but hey I can see this (if cost effective) being widely adopted.More info on Floating Touch here - http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/technologies/floating-touch/I bet there are a number of ways you could use this for better touchscreen navigation and control like scrolling without touching the screen and worrying about clicking on something.

It would be great to see more offerings from Dell with Ubuntu Linux, Fedora or ChromeOS as a operating systems, e.g. entry level laptops, desktops computers or thin clients. Linux is a very versatile operating system and in many ways more advanced than others such as Windows or MacOS. There's generally very broad driver support and Desktop-focussed operating systems such as Ubuntu Linux, Fedora or ChromeOS have matured a lot over time with a strong oren source community so that they are robust and very easy to use.

Had a technician out to replace the LCD on my Alienware M14x-R2 and he said that the optical drive clip was broken, which requires the motherboard be replaced. 2 problems1) The motherboard should not have to be replaced just to replace that stupid little plastic clip that is really removable.2) Can't Dell come up with a better way than that stupid flimsy clip to hold a ribbon cable in? Dell used to do it better.

Greetings, I was recently browsing the site and applying the highest options available just to see what the maximum cost would be on your Area-51. While quickly realizing that I'll need to sell a sliver of my liver to ever achieve the funds required, I came up with a novel idea that I believe some of your more well-off-than-I customers might enjoy. What about providing an option for a vantablack case on the Area-51 and this new line of laptops? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack If my understanding is correct, this would provide an extremely interesting visual effect where anything not covered in vantablack would appear to be floating in absolute nothingness, and really just screw with your perception in general. It's a new technology that hasn't yet been applied to any wide spread commercial use, to my knowledge, and I'm sure that it would provide a truly unique effect. Who the heck even knows how it would look with the lighting effects applied! You could call it the the:1:) Area-51 Vantablack2:) Area-51 Void3:) Area-51 TrES-2b ( TrES-2b )4:) Area-51 Tenebrae (Cough..) ...or some other name better suited for such a uniquely dark optional feature. That said, I have absolutely no idea how much such a thing would cost to manufacture...and there is the potential issue of heating, seeing as how the trapped light will become thermal energy. If it can be done, however, at a relatively decent cost and without compromising performance through heating issues...this would be one heck of a unique option that I can see a lot of people taking for very obvious reasons! Keep in mind that the majority of the human population has NEVER seen vantablack; it's something that our brains have a great deal of difficulty making sense of. This is definitely going to produce a very unique look...and you guys could be the first individuals, that I'm aware of, to commercualize it for aesthetic applications. If it takes off, this could end up becoming the signature default case for Alienware computers; it'll be something that instantly catches someone's eyes because, well...it's quite literally something they're unlikely to have ever seen anywhere else. Just a thought, and hope you enjoy! - Tenebrae

Dell has a national program accepting computer equipment through Goodwill for recycling. Suppose Dell develops a national recycling program through select computer resellers that service and support new and used equipment where the donor of the recycled equipment would build credits towards the purchase of a replacement Dell product through the reseller? This is a classic win-win-win scenario. The donor does the right thing by recycling the equipment, the reseller will provide the equipment and Dell will move replacement product. Product pricing becomes secondary to the consumer because they are locked in with their recycling credits toward purchase. The reseller would also be a Microsoft certified refurbisher and also provide upgrade options for existing equipment. This program could be implemented on a beta test immediately in Wilmington, DE, with potential rollout to over 250 established computer stores within 6 months of succesful beta test.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- USG (USG - Get Report) was falling -5.5% to $30.55 Thursday after missing analysts' expectations for earnings and revenue for the first quarter.
For the first quarter USG reported earnings of 14 cents a share, missing the Capital IQ Consensus Estimate of 19 cents a share by 5 cents. Revenue rose 4.4% year-over-year to $850 million for the quarter, though it fell short of the $872.71 million consensus.
The company reported an operating profit of $66 million for the first quarter, compared to a $49 million operating profit in the first quarter of 2013.
"Despite the harsh winter conditions across most of the United States during the first quarter, we delivered positive operating results and net income," chairman, president, and CEO James S. Metcalf said in a statement. "We also made significant progress with our Plan to Win by finalizing our joint venture with Boral and calling the remaining $75 million in 10% convertible notes."
Must read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks SELL NOW: If you own any of the 900 stocks that TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified as a 'Sell'...you could potentially lose EVERYTHING in the next 6-12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates USG CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate USG CORP (USG) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk and poor profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- USG's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 12.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- USG CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, USG CORP turned its bottom line around by earning $0.44 versus -$1.71 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.86 versus $0.44).
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. We feel that the combination of its price rise over the last year and its current price-to-earnings ratio relative to its industry tend to reduce its upside potential.
- The gross profit margin for USG CORP is rather low; currently it is at 22.62%. Regardless of USG's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -0.32% trails the industry average.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 3.69 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Regardless of the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, USG has managed to keep a strong quick ratio of 2.23, which demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.

The 2 Mistress's take a poor sole and teach it how to take a male just the way other women have to. It is restrained onto another a caged male and brutally used and abused at both ends before the boudoir sissy is forced to suck the creature to completion. |
After being brutally taken by the beautiful Mistress Jenni is mad to tend to the Mistresses every whim. After taking the poor sissy the Mistress feels highly aroused and commands the sissy to pleasure her with her tongue. |
The 2 Mistress's use this pathetic male to satisfy their greed. He is sucked and forced to take the bound sissy's rosebud then leaving a deposit of male milk all over the poor things slutty face |
Two little minxes are set to work to tidy and clean the Mistress's boudoir. They are a little reluctant to demean themselves with a little housework. After a little light polishing they decide to search for the Mistress's pink dildo... |
When Tanya arrived we encouraged her to behave like a sexy woman so a false clitty was fitted. We then explained why she must go through the intensive Feminisation program. The atmosphere changed from familiarity to excitement and fear!. |
Just how much fun can a Mistress have with a dildo mask and a pretty frilly sissy maid ? Well the answer as you can see is quite a lot. Mistress Annabelle uses poor sissy Jane as her "toy" and gets the most from Jane yet again |
Just look at what Maid Jane has been up to. She is supposed to be able to work on her own initiative, but no, once she was left to her own devices, admittedly in that amazingly beautiful dress with the revealing back, it was just too much for even this most senior of maids. I expect the sound of that delicate material brushing against her skin, and her little bells tinkling on her clitty bag all became too much for her to bare and she had to rub her forbidden peeny. Of course once this territory has been entered it is impossible to retreat. Now with stunning photographs as well !! |
Here is the gorgeous Tanya I am sure you all remember her. On this visit she bought along "daisy". Daisy is the same machine we used in the Training of Tanya. She also bought along a very special chair that administers shocks to the subordinate sissy. |
Mistress Annabelle is at her most content, when she is abusing a sissy maid. So after kidnapping a poor delivery boy to utterly corrupt him, she then has fun trying to wake him up in a most unconventional way. |
Now that Maid Chrissy has progressed from Tweeny Maid, she is allowed more responsibility and freedom. Of course the Mistress fully expects the Maid to abuse this privilege initially, and correctly catches the Maid without her underwear on, which soon leads to all sorts of deviant fun for the Mistress!Including the wayward slut being forced to drink her own sissy milk. |
Mistress Annabelle decides to have a bit of spring clean but the feel and look of all the sultry satins and silks is to much to bare. Before she can even throw anything out she needs her sissymaid to satisfy her lust with the pussy pleaser. |
Once again the Mistress needs to satisy her high libido and what better way than to use your frilly sissy maid. Mistress Annabelle allows Maid Jane some pleasures of the flesh once more and Jane does her task very well indeed... |
Maid Jenni feels the swift repercussions of acting slutily in front of Mistress Annabelles guests, first the startled Maid is humiliated then degraded, then is finally 'taken' in all shapes and forms to the utter delight of the rampant raunchy Mistress. Not for the faint hearted!! |
BONUS UPDATE Joanna's Training" A Maids Tale" Mrs Silk's favourite "Tanya" appears in her very own video with Joanna. Jo is taught the art of fellatio and then cropped flogged and paddled for Mistress Tanya's pleasure. A must for fans of the gorgeous Tanya. (This was added to www.mrs-silk.com last week) |
In the second part of "Joanna's Training" Tanya takes the poor little thing with her strapon anally and orally culminating in multiple climaxes all round. Completely of the scale video. This is one of Mrs Silk's personal favourite videos very, very hot indeed, WINDOWS FILE AND ALSO NOW AVAILABLE IN 3D |
The Mistress is not amused with Jane after the ignorant maid disturbed her evening of pleasure with an important gentleman. After a long cold evening spent in the cage she wakes the maid to relieve her sexual frustration. |
In this amazing video you will see the beautiful Mistress deflowering the poor sissy with her favourite strapon. The poor sissy takes every inch of the Mistresses toy and screams as she is mounted. | ||||
An Impertinent sissy learns the hard way when Mistress Annabelle is left waiting, especially as she needs her usual gratification for her high sex drive. The poor thing is gently taken with the dildo at first before being impaled on the remote controlled symbian. The poor thing is literally at the Mistress's mercy. |
What a lot of naughty Sissies. No sooner has the Mistress gone then they return to their saucy games. Of course they are caught in the act again. The Mistress decides that is little chance of getting much work out of these sissies. So, they can provide her with a little amusement. To the horror of the Sissies the Mistress produces 3 strap ons and sets them to work on each other. | ||||
The Mistress is going to a masked ball and when her friend complains of not having been invited the Mistress has an idea. Mistress Annabelle needs an escort and so sorts out a 'suitable outfit' for her new guest leaving him ready for any of the males who may need gratification. |
Jenni is given the fright of her life by the Mistress as she appears with the iron to brand that pathetic peenie. It doesn't stop there as she ends up with a very sore botty thanks to the fucking machine. |
Jenni stops by on her way to work in her male attire Unfortunately she gets waylaid by the Mistress. Jenni protests that she has to go but the Mistress needs tending to as only sissy Jenni can.. |
All of that naked flesh on display, stockings and suspenders in the sheerest silk, PVC, rubber and chains. It makes the mind conjure up all sorts of naughty thoughts. And I should know how naughty my Mistresses can be! |
Here I am initiating a young lady into the ways of the strap-on. With plenty of lubricant most girls take to it like a duck to water, even if at first they are filled with trepidation. Of course after wards they can't get it enough!! |
Maid Jessica is very nervous as its her 1st day. She is told that to break her in she would not have to do housework, instead she will have fun with the Mistress instead. This seems wonderful until she realises what the Mistress has in store for her when she actually breaks her in with Janes help |
This marvelous piece of equipment is called the "Ecstasy Box" it is a an electronic device that can be varied to different intensities - of course decided by the Mistress. A real little clitty stimulator that house slut Lisa got to its maximum strength! |
Jenni is found out to be visiting another Mistress so Mistress Annabelle humiliates her and enforces her dominance by ridiculing the poor thing and trains her with a very large strapon while tied to the dentist chair |
The dirty slut Lisa has been disgusting of late, so Mistress Maria and I trained Lisa the house slut in the art of Mistressing. Trying to teach a dirty whore how to be sophisticated was impossible and I am afraid her slutty ways prevailed.! |
An exhausted Jane thinks that she has now been forgiven for her huge faux pas, but finds out the hard way that you can never predict the Mistresses mood or how aggressive, the beautiful Mistress can be when she seeks her sexual healing. |

Revis Needs to Miss the Pittsburgh Game to Clear the Fog
Posted by Erik Manassy on Sep 14, 2012 in Main, News, Opinion | 1 comment
It is Friday and Darrelle Revis is STILL NOT cleared for contact after suffering a concussion against the Bills in week 1. Revis admits that it felt like he was in a "fog" all week.
Revis said he feels pretty good now and wants to play, but what player do you know ever said that they don't want to play.
He said he would go out there with a broken leg and I believe him:
"Whatever they say, goes," Revis said Thursday, commenting for the first time since the injury. "I'd try to be out there with a broken leg. I'm sure they know that as well. It's a competitive spirit in me that wants to go out and play. If I feel fine, which I do, we'll go from there."
New York Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis wants to play Sunday against his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers but acknowledged it's not his decision — and he didn't sound confident about his chances of being cleared by doctors after suffering a concussion last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Via ESPN
nyjets #RL Rex Ryan says CB Darrelle Revis (concussion) cleared to resume physical activity by Jets trainers but will not practice today. 9/12/12 11:25 AM |
My Prediction: Revis DOES NOT Play. Why risk the entire season if he gets hit again when he's not 100%! To me this is a no brainer.
The Jets need to keep Revis out of the game and go with Kyle Wilson. Yes this hurts, but it's time for other players to step up.
http://www.facebook.com/juliushd Julius Colón
As much as it pains me to say this but i would not play Revis this Sunday just in case he gets hurt worse when he plays.. Id rather him out a game or 2 then the whole year..

Can anyone explain to me why my gift plant which is a zonal geranium, the flowers and buds just all of a sudden wilted. The leaves seem to be OK for now. It was a very beautiful plant on Mother's Day with bright full pink flowers and it looked very healthy. Then this happened. Can't figure it out and I hope someone can help. |

I've had this plumeria(no name)for at least three years, it's just a spindly single stem in one gallon container, is it ok if I transfer it in a much bigger pot, and how much bigger would you suggest?? I would really appreciate anyone's advice.
Thank you Annamaria |

how thin is this stem? how tall? do you have it out in the sun, partial shade or indoor? if it's healthy, it'll be rootbound by now and will be ready for a 3-5 gallon pot with well draining potting mix. |
- Posted by fancyorchid 9 (email@example.com) on Fri, Jun 29, 12 at 18:04
Thank you, "houstontexas123", for being so prompt in answering my questions! The stem is 23-1/2 tall and about less than 1/2 inch thick at the top and with a few leaves on the tip. It's outdoors, it gets 6+ hours of full sun and I water it with a 20-20-20 fertilizer. I will transfer It to a 3+ size black container. Thank you again, Annamaria |
- Posted by loveplants2 8b Virginia Beach, (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 3:16
Hi Annamaria, I would cut off the bottom 1/4 of the existing bottom soil and mke some slits on the side of the root ball and pot up into a larger black container too! I would go with three gallon container. Like Houston Texas said...well draining mix, it you do cut off some of the bottom..remember to let it rest in a semi shad area for a week or two and then bring it back out to where you normally have it. just dont lift from the stem... : ( I did tht week ago.. forgot i repotted this one.. OOPs!! Then i would start to fert like normal.... Take care, Laura |
- Posted by fancyorchid 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 19:23
Thank you, Laura, for your advice! Hopefully I'll have a bloom in a couple of months. Annamaria =^..^= |

According to the arresting officer ""No force was used to detain Henson and no injuries were sustained by myself or Henson." Though there are no visible injuries, the condition of the suspect's face in his mugshot would seem to tell a different story. Perhaps the chase would be better described as a 100-foot chase, ending in a cloud of dust, crust and road grime
Jaime Henson, 36, was arrested in the street outside a Burger King in Orange County Florida after inexplicably running out of the restaurant with such force that the door literally came off its hinges. Actually Henson was drunk at the time, which could serve as a more-than-adequate explanation for what happened.
It was in the wee hours of Saturday morning, that Henson entered the restaurant and ordered his meal. Before it was ready he bolted out into the darkness with such speed and violence that he knocked the door clean off its hinges, causing $500 in damages.
According to police responder Matthew Davis, Henson was in the middle of the busy street talking on his cell phone when he saw the officer and said, "'the police are here' and he had to get off the phone."
The suspect seems to have then bolted a second time, but was apprehended by Davis with a mug full of dirt and a swollen eye, after a brief chase in which no injuries were sustained.
Henson was charged with criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence.
