Jason Garrett, Cowboys crumbling
Collapse against Giants shows coach's message is falling on deaf ears down the stretch
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The rookie head coach is in trouble.
Jason Garrett is not going to get fired or anything, but he's struggling right now.
The season is falling apart, and everything Garrett knows about coaching needs to emerge right now.
For the last two weeks, the Cowboys have had a chance to move ahead of their biggest rivals in the NFC East by two games.
Two games. Two chances.
Garrett's team is not responding to him. The players like and respect him, but they aren't making plays for him at the right moments.
The New York Giants rallied for a 37-34 win over the Cowboys on Sunday night at Cowboys Stadium, and some of the things Garrett preaches to his team are falling on deaf ears.
Garrett talks about playing with poise and finishing games. That's not happening.
The Cowboys had four fourth-quarter penalties Sunday. That's 36 on the season.
They were penalized twice on the Giants' go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter.
On first-and-10, DeMarcus Ware jumped offsides when the ball was snapped past Eli Manning. The Giants recovered at the Cowboys' 49 after the ball was snapped from the Cowboys' 37, but the penalty wiped that out.
On second-and-10 from the Cowboys' 24, Frank Walker was flagged for a hold on Victor Cruz as Manning threw an incomplete pass.
First down, Giants.
"I think at different times we've done a really good job handling fourth-quarter situations, and other times we haven't," Garrett said. "Sometimes guys make penalties in certain situations because they're trying to do too much. We've talked about that, maintaining your poise and simply doing your job."
Then there's Garrett himself.
There are questions about his recent late-game management. The Arizona Cardinals loss comes to mind -- he mismanaged the ending, leading to a missed field goal that would have won it. Garrett apologized to his team for his mistake.
As the Giants were driving inside Cowboys territory, Manning completed a pass to tight end Jake Ballard that placed the ball at the 1 with 1:15 left.
Television cameras showed Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones in his suite, calling for a timeout.
Then there's the man who signs the checks, owner Jerry Jones saying, "Timeout, Jason!"
Garrett did call timeout with one minute left. He wasted 15 precious seconds.
The Cowboys used their two remaining timeouts, and the Giants scored to take the lead with less than a minute to play.
Garrett wasn't asked why he didn't call a timeout sooner, but he was quizzed on whether the team considered letting the Giants score to preserve time on the clock.
"We did talk about that," he said. "We ended up using the timeouts, and they scored right after we used that second timeout."
Maybe the extra 15 seconds, with no timeouts, could have given the Cowboys a better chance at not only a game-tying field goal, but the game-winning touchdown.
Instead, they got the ball with 46 seconds to play.
The other issue Garrett is dealing with is the end-of-the-season failures.
Since 2005, this franchise is 13-17 in December/January.

Garrett likes to say its ancient history. After a 0-2 start this month, it's current history.
"Again, I don't think anything that's happened in the past has a real impact on this football team," he said. "To think about what we have done is what determines our fate in these ball games, and we just have to play better in particular areas and we didn't get that done."
Here's what Bradie James said of December/January: "Put what behind us? What have we put behind us? What we need to do is win this thing. We've got to win in December. We've got three games left. We don't have, this is not October, this is December."
The season is falling apart. Garrett has to find a way to save it, or his first full season as the full-time head coach will end in failure.

Weezer cancel US tour after Rivers Cuomo hurt in road accident
Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo, has suffered minor injuries, after the band's tour bus crashed in New York on Sunday (December 6).
Weezer's US tour promoting new album Ratitude has now been cancelled, after the bus slid on ice and fell into a roadside ditch, travelling between Toronto and Boston.
The band's website states: "While the bus did indeed go off the road, plunging about 8-10 vertical feet into a muddy ravine off to the right of the Thruway thus coming to a very abrupt stop, it did not flip or roll."
Cuomo is thought to have suspected cracked ribs.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Roman!
Facts about Roman
- Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog/Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Roman's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Roman is a strikingly beautiful guy with golden eyes that look into your soul. He looks at you like he understands every word that you say to him. He is a mellow pup, and loves snuggles and belly rubs. He is really catching on to his house training, and is awesome in his crate. He loves other dogs, loves toys, and loves being outside (unless its raining). He is very well behaved, and is learning the words, no, and leave it, which keep him out of mischeif. He will be a great addition to any family. Catahoulas are very loyal and loving with their family and a good breed to raise with kids.
My adoption fee is $450, which includes all vaccinations, alteration, and microchip! Please visit www.goodkarmamn.org to fill out an adoption application.
Once you fill out our adoption application, an awesome representative of Good Karma will contact you to answer any questions you may have and set up a time for you to meet your new pet! Good Karma Animal Rescue's approval process includes conducting a home visit before adopters take their new pet home.
Other Pets at Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roman, a Maple Grove Catahoula Leopard Dog/Cattle Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Cattle Dog for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Cattle Dog puppy from a breeder in Maple Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Maple Grove already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Maple Grove breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Catahoula Leopard Dog/Cattle Dog breeders who help with Catahoula Leopard Dog/Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Maple Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

'Piranha 3DD' One Fin Closer to Going Straight to DVD
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 30, 2011 | Comments (2)The 3D reboot of Piranha from 2010 was one of my favorite movies of that year. And I don't usually much like horror stuff, especially winky, self-aware horror parody: that means they did something very right. So word of a followup should have been great news. But as soon as Piranha 3DD was announced as re-teaming the creative team behind the Project Greenlight winning horror film Feast rather than re-teaming the creative team that already worked so well together on a Piranha movie, director Alexandre Aja and writers Pete Goldfinger & Josh Stolberg, I was dubious. The next hint that this movie wasn't going to turn out so great came in October, when Piranha 3DD was scrapped from having its planned November 2011 release and was instead marked with the ominous "sometime in 2012" release date instead. It was starting to look like the writing was on the wall, that Dimension didn't have much faith in the film and that it was now residing in limbo, probably until an eventual straight to home video release. Well, it looks like the next step toward making that doomed future a reality has happened. It's looking like the UK has now become the first market to scrap a theatrical release plan for Piranha 3DD in favor of dumping it onto disc. According to the British Video Association website, March 19th is the day it will happen. Unless this is a mistake by the BVA site, this means that not very many people will […]
Welcome to another light week of DVD releases! It may appear lacking in quantity, but it does feature the film that might be winning the Academy Award for Best Film in a couple months. No, not Piranha. David Fincher's The Social Network reaches shelves just three and a half months after hitting theaters, and in addition to being an incredibly good movie it's also the closest I've ever been to Facebook. Other titles out this week include a fantastic French romantic comedy (Heartbreaker), an animated flick nobody saw (Alpha and Omega), three TV shows you've probably never heard of before, and more.
Review: Piranha 3D Has Teeth, Breasts, but No Heart
Movie Reviews By Robert Fure on August 20, 2010 | Comments (15)Swarming into theaters this weekend, Piranha 3D looks poised to chomp through the competition and make a mouthful of money. In a summer that has been lacking in the fun department, this flashy remake looks to turn the ridiculous level to eleven, the boobie-meter to overdrive, and the kill count to 87. In many ways, Piranha 3D achieved exactly what it set out to do: make an R-Rated horror movie full of blood and boobs. While many, including our own Neil Miller, have found something to love in the movie, I found myself strangely disappointed. When a film gives you everything it promised, what can you hold against it? Well, a weak story and a complete lack of resolution.
Welcome back to Junkfood Cinema: if you're calling to complain about the noise, it's just our hearts exploding. If this internet movie column were any healthier, you'd need a chainsaw and a daytime talkshow host to get it out of its house. Each week I throw refined tastes to the wind and rip the world wide web a new schlock hole. I will dissect one terrible movie every Friday to prove scientifically that it is in fact a terrible movie. But since science is mostly boo-hockey, I also spend more time than allowed by law singing the film's dubious praises and pinpointing exactly why it holds a special place in my almost completely clogged heart. Speaking of clogged hearts, I will also pair each film with a disgustingly delicious snack food item in the hopes that your bodies may suffer as much as your brains; both from watching the film and being forced to read my writing. In honor of the remake being released today, that I totally did not see at midnight even though I totally did, I thought it pertinent to dive into one of my favoritest bad films of all time: Piranha. The plot? Genetically altered piranha eat people…screaming…credits.
Join us each week as Rob Hunter takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs. And remember, these listings and category placements are meant as informational conversation starters only. But you can still tell Hunter how wrong he is in the comment section below. This week sees new releases from the Roger Corman Cult Classics line (Humanoids From the Deep and Piranha), an absolutely brilliant French crime drama (A Prophet), the latest from Roman "Oui, dans le cul" Polanski (The Ghost Writer), a hot Bangle (The AllNighter), a pint-sized crime fighter (Kick-Ass) and more! See all of this week's relevant DVD releases after the jump…
Shout! Factory Shows The Love To Roger Corman Fans With Piranha, Humanoids From The Deep, And More!
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 30, 2010 | Comments (6)We get a lot of press releases for upcoming DVDs and Blu-rays here at FSR, as does every movie site with more than a handful of readers (a criteria we only just passed last week), and we basically ignore the vast majority of them. Sure sometimes it's because reading is hard, but it's usually because most of these announcements are pretty damn boring. The movies are expected releases, the extra features are slight and generic,and they're just not worth the virtual ink it would take to report. But once in a while we get word of something special. Maybe it's a movie long overdue for a remastered DVD or Blu-ray debut. Maybe it's a fun flick arriving loaded with extras we never would have expected. Or maybe it's just an awesome feeling to find you're not alone in your love for a forgotten genre classic. It seems more and more these days that the label behind many of the releases that excite us is the one with the exclamation point… Shout! Factory that is. They've long been a fine purveyor of pop culture, but their recent foray into the world of Roger Corman has earned them a place in our hearts (and wallets) for the foreseeable future. Over fifty Corman-produced titles are being released to Blu-ray and/or DVD, many for the first time, and all with the extra care and attention we've come to expect from a label staffed by movie-lovers. Titles released so far include Rock 'n' Roll High […]
With the "too violent for Comic Con" 3D reimagining coming our way this August from the (mostly) awesome Alexandre Aja, you bet your bottom dollar there is a brand spanking new edition of the original available to purchase. From our friends at Shout! Factory, who are doing a kick ass job releasing plenty of cult classics, the 1978 Joe Dante helmed Piranha is coming to shelves near you soon. While this release isn't as completely packed with new features as the Death Race disc was, it's still probably the most complete release you'll ever see for this film. This is the paragraph where I often give a bit of plot information about the film, so here goes: it is literally Jaws but with piranhas instead of a shark and a guy in a flannel shirt instead of Roy Scheider.
Comic-Con 2010: Shout! Factory Goes Big with Roger Corman
Comic-Con By Robert Fure on July 21, 2010 | Comments (3)There are few things in life I enjoy more than a horror movie filled with ridiculous kills, outrageous monsters, and utterly gratuitous and indefensible amounts of nudity. Naturally, I've long been a fan of the late night master Roger Corman, a Horror Hall of Famer responsible for writing, directing, or producing some of the most amazing movies ever to reach the screen. Now, I don't necessarily mean amazing as in "good" but rather "amazing" as in you will feel amazement. Maybe from the plot. Maybe from the dialog. But when you watch a Corman flick, you definitely feel amazed by what you're watching. Youngsters that many of you in the digital age, you may be unfamiliar with the bulk of the 389 films Roger Corman produced, but that's all about to change. The fine folks over at Shout! Factory, in a bit of brilliance that has answered at least three of my prayers, are presenting the Roger Corman Cult Classic Collection.
Horror film maker Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes remake) is currently directing a remake of Joe Dante's 1978 Piranha, and the news is that this chomping romp will be presented in glorious 3D.

The staff were in there pajamas cleaning the rooms & walking around with no shoes!!!
Nothing. Filthy hotel and staff behind desk.
Nothing I LIKED about hotel. Should not be on your list. Old not recommend to anyone.
Good location-easy access to highway.
The pool area was extremely dirty with dead bugs all over the cement you walk on to enter the pool. Lounge chairs haven't been cleaned forever...would not sit on them. Breakfast was good except for staff reheartng eggs in the microwave...rubbery.
It surprised me at how clean it was.
The staff at check in was mundane and did like her shift. She wanted her other one back but it's what her manager put her on. Very unprofessional.
Location was good.
Room had a smell and there was mold on the shower curtain. The smell was like a old movie theater mixed with an old man smell.
The guy at the desk was not in anyway friendly poor helpful, never smiled thanked me and when all about the WiFi password took me 4 times before he would even give me the answer. Will never stay again.
It was super cheap, but still really nice. I noticed that it got some bad reviews from others, but what the heck do they want for $--- bucks... it was nice, clean, friendly, and it had breakfast. Can't beat that with a stick! :)
It was great. No problems.
The room was big.
The microwave was broken, two legs missing. The safety locks on door were broken. Hall ways and stairs filthy. Breakfast was only cereal and coffee

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.
Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRaynoAloha kakahiaka, hau'oli Lapule!
I've made it to Maui and am already Googling greetings ("Good morning, happy Sunday," of course).
Mahalo for all of your questions. I hope some of you have made it to the island as well. All of the tournament's teams have availability today, so I'll pass along any notes later. For now, let's get on to the questions.
Seems like the #Gophers really enjoy the triple. Are they too 3-centric early on? Or is it just how the roster's built?
I think generally, when a team is doing well at something and winning, it's hard to argue that it's too much of a focus. So far, the Gophers are connecting on 34.1 percent from beyond the arc – which is good, because certainly Minnesota plans for perimeter shooting to be a big part of their game plan.
The other half of this is that with the frontcourt built the way it is – not a lot of depth or bulk there – the Gophers are going to HAVE to shoot more than they would, say, if they still had a Trevor Mbakwe-type rooting the post to throw the ball into. Is that ideal? No, and it makes them susceptible to a bad shooting night. But right now, it's who they have to be, and they're doing it well.
Have [the Gophers] shown us anything to get excited about? It's early but is progress being seen with the players and new system?
Sure, I think so. The win at Richmond should excite Gophers fans, because it was a tough environment for a team that is still coming together. The win against Wofford on Thursday should make Gophers feel good because that contest was the very definition of a trap game, and Minnesota didn't fall in – it came to play. And generally, while I still maintain that this year's Gophers team has its limits, I think what coach Richard Pitino has done already is impressive. He has taken the roster that he inherited/quickly put together and gotten the most out of it. The Gophers are functioning as a cohesive group, rather than the collection of parts they looked like at times last year. They've transformed their bodies and their attitudes, and you're seeing the on-court confidence lead to on-court results. Several players, like Oto Osenieks and Elliott Eliason have improved dramatically. If you're a Gophers fan and you're not happy with where this team is at right now, you're not paying attention.
Has it been determined if MN will be a participant in any of the holiday tourneys next year?
Nothing is set yet … but there are rumblings about the Paradise Jam (St. Thomas) …
Seems like the crowds have been leaner at the barn so far. Heard anything from students while you're around campus on why?
It's always kind of sparce this time of year. Attendance so far is actually up a little bit from a year ago, when the Gophers drew 42,648 through four games. This year, they've hit 43,895 so far.
If no king for Syracuse any chance Pitino lets Mo free a game early, or are we just screwed in the frontcourt?
First of all, it's not up to him. It's university policy, not team policy. And even if it were, there's no chance he would do that.
Still early, but after a handful of games are there any changes to your predictions for the final #big10 rankings? #aMAILiaBAG
I haven't watched enough non-Gophers in the conference to make the call about any other teams. But I still think 9th or maybe 8th is pretty reasonable for Minnesota. Pitino has gotten the team to really buy in and respond to their shortcomings, but there are still shortcomings. Come January, the size of the frontcourt is going to be a concern.
Don't you think brakes need to be pumped on Oto? At least until we see what he has during B1G play?
We're not in the heart of the Big Ten schedule yet, if that's what you mean. But I'm not sure what you mean by "pump the brakes." Curb your enthusiasm? Sure – if you're concerned about getting overly excited and then overly disappointed when Osenieks fails to produce the same results in conference play. But that goes for everyone, right? Osenieks isn't suddenly competing for the Naismith, but it is pretty obvious that he's improved. Just look at his shooting percentage from three-point range last year. Just look at his confidence on the court. Watch how much more involved in both the offense and the defense than he was a year ago, and how aggressive he is in doing the little things. Osenieks will take his lumps in the Big Ten, but we might as well give the forward his due – he's earned it.
How would you evaluate Buggs and Wally's play [on Thursday]? Moving forward, do you see them making any significant contributions?
I thought Ellenson played pretty well – he finished with seven points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal, and helping to keep the Gophers rolling near the end of the game. Wofford wasn't the strongest opponent, mind you, but if Ellenson keeps doing that, he'll get a bigger role in the rotation. Buggs had a pair of blocks, which was good, but he needs to be stronger in the paint. Both of those guys need to get better defensively.
If the Gophers win the National Championship, who play Pitino in the movie? My money is Gene Wilder
Oh boy. I'm not sure I should even answer this one.
I'm wondering about this new defense. I like the energy, and the potential for each basket to turn into a scoring run, after all basketball is a game of scoring runs. But so far we have seen that it has tended to end scoring runs, and lead to quick 3-point buckets for the opposing teams. I know it may take time to develop and have guys work together for traps and steals, but can this really work going forward? Especially up against well coached teams like Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana and Wisconsin.
Bryan Wendt
Time will tell. This is a new defense for the Gophers so it will take some time. The Gophers have certainly been effective with the press at points and have been able to shake teams out of their comfort zone. Certainly, it will need to get tighter, especially heading into the conference slate, where opponents will be faster and craftier, and could pose a hell-like situation for the very undersized frontcourt if the Gophers aren't able to scramble out of the press quick enough when teams are beating it.
Also, is every Brian/Bryan with a 'W' last name 'B-dub?' It's a rule, right?
I have a couple questions for mailbag, 1, Have Richard and Wally made-up (and the nature of their disagreement), and 2, What effect do you think it will have on Henry's recruitment. Thanks.
Yes, Richard and Wally have made up, which is why you see the latter playing. As long as something else doesn't happen, I don't think it should affect the Gophers' recruitment of Henry Ellenson (No. 42 nationally in 2015, according to Rivals.com).
Hang 10. Michigan looks better than last year. Stauskas drove, stuffed. Explosive! 12-pt deficit kapoof! Surprised? #aMAILiabag
I have not managed to surf yet. (Give me time, I just got here!)
Not surprised that the Wolverines look a bit better than last year, at least early on. Once the conference slate rolls around, Michigan might miss guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., but they have a host of other stars, including Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III, each with a year of experience behind them. I anticipate both of them taking another big step this season, and keeping the Wolverines among the elite.
Who's our best perimeter defender this season?
Austin Hollins, still, when he's out there. Andre Hollins is looking a lot better defensively as well.
Do you see the team turning heads and making the big dance? Or are we a year or two away?
I still think that's a tough challenge given the personnel. No one wants to hear this, I know, but a good run in the NIT would be an accomplishment.
Silly question but is the press ever able to fly with the team?
Some radio journos do, but not the print media. We all have to fend for ourselves, which means less cushy flights, more connections and more accidental overnight layovers in Cincinnati (see: my return trip from Richmond).
It wouldn't really be possible anyway. Often, the team heads back right after a game, while I still have hours of work to do.
It seems like Pitino's the anti-Tubby [Smith, former Gophers coach] when it comes to praising players and building confidence. Fair assessment?
They're just different coaches, although players have already commented on how positive Pitino is. The new coach isn't constantly praising his players – he has been very blunt both on his blog and with the media about different individuals' struggles and weaknesses – but I think the major difference is the players all know where they stand with Pitino at all times. He tells them what they're doing wrong, and then commends them when they make steps to fixing it. Smith praised his players too, of course, but it seems like Pitino has been a little more consistent in his feedback.
Who has the best chance at being drafted at this time? #aMAILiaBAG
I don't think anyone will go in next year's draft if that's what you mean. But right now, Andre Hollins and Austin Hollins are the only players close to NBA material, and even they have more work to do.
That's not to say that others can't get there, just that they aren't there yet.
Mail bag : The way EE has been playing us encouraging and Mo will be fine too. What's scary is the 4 spot come BIG PLAY, do you see this as a huge weakness for the Gophers?
It's an area that will need to be overcome, yeah, as has been the theme all fall. Both of those guys – Osenieks and Joey King – have exceeded my expectations for them early, but they still represent a very small and thin corps at that position. It will be a challenge to battle with the other physical 4s in the league, for sure.
Jarvis Johnson on U's radar? What will it take to get a four- or five star recruit?
Jarvis Johnson is more than on the U's radar. Pitino offered the 2015 point guard almost immediately after taking the job at Minnesota and the coaching staff loves him. He'd be a great fit for the system and a good option for down the road with Andre Hollins and DeAndre Mathieu using up their eligibility the year before.
#aMAILiaBAG The Gopher bigs have looked great, but isn't Syracuse the first team with front court size, so first real test?
Definitely, especially since the Gophers will still be shorthanded. Mo Walker will still have one game remaining in his six-game suspension and Joey King may or may not play (fractured jaw). The Orange has been very physical inside and will create a big challenge for Elliott Eliason and whoever else is playing defense at the 4-spot. I have a feeling we'll be seeing the Gophers do a fair amount of zone.
Any #bigfoot type of creatures in Hawaii? #elchupacabra_hawaii_style?
I thought long and hard about this the other night, and learned from Wikipedia that before the Polynesians came over, there were only bugs, birds, seals and bats on the islands. Anything else that's there now was brought over. So unless the Polynesians had a bigfoot stowaway, I don't think there are any dwelling there. Also, an island would seem a very dangerous spot for bigfoot. As the area is commercialized, there becomes a smaller and smaller amount of space to hide. Yikes!
Some members of the LDS church believe Bigfoot is the biblical Cain and television's Dean Cain is hosting a Bigfoot game show … What does it mean? #aMAILiaBAG #cain
Stu … I think you're onto something. Cain has returned and molded himself into television host so he can prove he's not the real bigfoot. Or … something?
Well folks -- today represents the only day between last night's game against Coastal Carolina and tomorrow's game against Wofford, the shortest turnaround the team has had so far this year. And it doesn't slow down from there. On Saturday, the Gophers embark to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, which starts on Monday and will feature three games in three days, starting with the tough draw in the opening round, No. 9 Syracuse. What do the Gophers need to do to between now and then? How is Joey King's injury looking? How will Minnesota come out of the tournament?
I'll be chatting away about these subjects (and bigfoot) and more starting at noon, so bring your questions and ask away!
Hello from charming Richmond, Va., where my weather is better than yours. Thanks for all your questions ahead of today's game at the Robins Center (tipoff at 6:30 CT). To submit for future aMAILiaBAGs, email me at email@example.com or reply to me on Twitter @AmeliaRayno. Here we go.
Your questions below in bold; my answers in regular type.
Most recent recruiting class graded an F. What grade would the 3 '14 signees get? #aMAILiaBAG
That's a good question. You're referring, I think, to the Sporting News' grades of the incoming 2013 classes well before the season started. Again, it's tough to judge players before you really see how they make the next jump, but as it currently stands, I would give the 2014 class (currently Josh Martin, Nate Mason and Carlos Morris) a C+. There are no game-changing recruits, but the Gophers got three underrated types that should fit well into coach Richard Pitino's system. It's all about the fit, not the stars (all three are 3-star recruits), as we are getting a glimpse of with JUCO point guard DeAndre Mathieu right now. Currently, I wouldn't rank the Gophers' 2014 higher because again, it's not really addressing their most pressing needs, which are big men. Josh Martin should help Minnesota fill that need, but he is more of a Joey King signee and less of a sizeable, punishing big.
But remember, the Gophers' 2014 class is not necessarily complete. Minnesota still has one scholarship remaining, and they could sign someone in the late period.
Mailbag question. Complete this sentence. For Wally to get playing minutes in Big 10 he must ???
I think the most general answer to that is that Wally Ellenson must prove himself to Pitino in practice. We don't get to see practices (they're closed to the media), but it's pretty clear that the Gophers' coach is still waiting to see something from Ellenson. The wing barely played last season, so it's possible that Pitino still thinks he's too raw. The problem for Ellenson is that there is a lot of depth in front of him. However, he could be an interesting experiment in the four-guard lineup the Gophers have been toying with, given his size and athleticism. So if Ellenson comes in off the bench and gets all over the boards – if he can get four rebounds or so off the bench – that's only going to help his chances.
Why are the gophers getting little credit? Other than losing Mbakwe, we're better than last year. #MOinit2winit
Why? Because they're essentially a new team and haven't proven anything yet. I think Andre Hollins and Austin Hollins get a lot of respect around the league, but who else can you pout about not getting their due? Elliott Eliason has played modest minutes over the last two years, but he's never been relied on in such a major role, and he's been largely up and down since arriving. Mo Walker has barely played since he stepped foot on campus. Joey King was a marginal player at Drake. And the bulk of the bench is largely unknowns as well. There is Ellenson, who had spare minutes a year ago, Charles Buggs, who didn't play at all and three other new players that no one knew much about (one of those, Mathieu, is of course in the starting five). Oto Osenieks struggled mightily with shooting, and Maverick Ahanmisi has been turnover prone.
You would expect differently?
In general, I'm not sure why fans get so huffed and puffed about preseason rankings or how much "credit" a team gets before they've played any games. If anything, that's an opportunity. It takes the pressure off and creates a situation in which a modest finish – even if it doesn't satisfy you personally – ye with lofty sights – could be viewed as a success. The team will have every chance to surprise folks on the court, and those are the best stories after all. Plus you'll get to tell all your buddies 'I told you so' (and me, for that matter) if they do better than others are predicting.
That doesn't sound so bad, does it?
Not much Buggs action so far. Was he Tubby specific recruit with no fit in Pitino regime or just work in progress? #aMAILiaBag
People are obsessed with Charles Buggs. You know why? Because he's the backup quarterback. He's the guy who doesn't get time, so fans don't have a chance to see him struggle. Which in their minds, means he must be great.
I don't think Buggs was a specific Tubby recruit – Tubby elected to redshirt him, after all – and I think that Pitino sees a lot of potential in the forward. But he's just not ready yet. Maybe you've heard this before: he's still awfully raw.
#aMAILiaBAG Percantage chance Andre makes 1st team B1G? Is this his last year here?
Hollins has been picked by a few people to wind up a first team All-Big Ten, I've noticed. Personally, I picked him third team (which is where the media as a whole picked him as well), partly because I think he still needs to add some things to his game still and partly because I think there are a lot of other really, really good players in the Big Ten.
Landing on the first team would be quite an accomplishment for Hollins, and though there are outliers predicting it, would be safe to call a surprise. The potential, though, is there I think. So ... 20 percent chance?
And I think Hollins will be a four-year player -- and I believe the degree is meaningful to him.
Offer for delshon strikland soon?
Possibly, but likely not until next year, closer to the spring signing period. The Gophers have recruited the Minnetonka guard, but still seem not quite sure about him.
Do you know of any good Gopher basketball blog/twitters to follow? #aMAILiaBAG
Ahh, very cute, sir. Everyone go check out From the Barn's DELIGHTFUL content.
Is issue between Pitino and Ellenson related to high jump? Is Ellenson still doing track and field after season?
I don't envision Ellenson changing his mind about track and field or basketball – he's extremely passionate about both. And no, the disagreement has nothing to do with his duel-sport status. Pitino is totally on board with that.
Hi, 2 questions from Nor Cal.
1. How many games in do you think it will be before we can judge how good this team is?
2. Buggs must be sick of being described as "raw." What does that really mean? What's needed... time? practice? physical conditioning? studying the game?
Great work...
1 – I think by the end of the Maui Invite, we will have a pretty good idea. The Gophers will have gone on the road against Richmond and competed against Syracuse and two other potentially tough challengers on a neutral court. How close can they keep it against Jim Boeheim and Co., ranked No. 8 in the nation? That might give us an idea of how well they'll manage against the Big Ten's brass.
2 – You caught me! I laughed when I read this because that's the No. 1 word I use to describe Buggs (see above) every time people ask me. He probably is tired of it. But really, I think it's all of those things you mentioned. Buggs has a great frame and has packed on some muscle already, but he could use to gain some more. Studying the game is a big one, because I think one of the concerns with him is that he needs to better see the big picture in game situations. Of course, more practice will only help. Like I said above, Pitino and the staff sees a lot of potential for him, but he's not there yet.
When Joey King is actually inside the three point line on offense, do the Gophers get any extra points added on to their team score for every completed ball fake that he does...even if he doesn't score?
Not technically, but if has been pretty valuable!
You've sort of established your brand, but are there any young girl or guys out there covering the Gophers of note that we should pay attention to?
Why is everyone out there trying to leave me??!
(Also, currently bristling at the indication that I, ahem, am not young.)
Bigfoot is alleged to really like bacon…. Are you concerned that it might be a hipster? #aMAILiaBAG
Hmmm, let's see. Bigfoot likes bacon, wears massive shaggy coat that's almost too ridiculous to be real, is so underground that only a select few have even seen him [ and he's managed to stay out of the mainstream animal kingdom for centuries], is surrounded by what he must only think can be considered [sigh] posers (bears, blobsquatches, idiots running around in recycled Halloween costumes) … Good God, Bigfoot is a hipster.
If we find out it also likes sriracha and The National "before they got big," we'll have our answer. #hipsterbigfoot
Unjustified jump, Stu. Everybody likes sriracha.
At last, it is final: Tyus Jones will go to Duke.
The Apple Valley senior, the No. 4 recruit in the nation for the 2014 class according to ESPN, announced his long-awaited decision at his high school on Friday afternoon.
A few hours away in Chicago, his long-time friend Jahlil Okafor committed to the Blue Devils as well, making good on the pair's talk of a package deal that they have maintained for the last couple of years.
The two had reportedly narrowed their choices to Kansas and Duke a couple of days earlier, although Jones had never officially said Minnesota was out of the running.
Jones' decision was broadcasted on ESPNU.
Jones is the second of the local 2014 'Big Three' to commit. De La Salle's Reid Travis committed to Stanford last week.
Colleague Joe Christensen was there to cover -- you can read his story here.
Today was the start of the fall signing period, and as expected the Gophers signed forward Josh Martin (Seattle), and guards Nate Mason (Georgia) and JUCO Carlos "Squirrel" Morris for the 2014 class.
The Gophers still have one scholarship available for 2014 which they could use to sign a fourth player in the spring signing period, or save for 2015.
Pitino talked to the media today after all the papers were official. Here are a few notes on what he said:

Council Moves To Publish Entire Town Payroll
Monday, March 24, 2014Sandy Hook resident Richard Fenaroli firmly believes an informed taxpayer will tend to be more involved in the budget process. To that end, he formally requested the Legislative Council act to publish the entire town roster of employees by name, the position they hold, and the gross amount of income and benefit costs of those employees to taxpayers.
He also requested that similar data be posted for all current town pensioners.
Applicants For Senior Tax Relief Will Likely Face Asset Affidavit
Saturday, November 30, 2013Beginning with the next application period, local seniors applying for town tax relief will likely be asked to sign an asset affidavit. The decision was made following a brief question-and-answer session with Tax Collector Carol Mahoney and Finance Director Robert Tait during the Board of Finance meeting November 25.

One of the most motivational stories you'll read about losing weight and finding faith
I walked toward the front doors of the church that Sunday morning, my legs shaking.
And not only because of my weight, which was still close to 600 pounds even after all the work I'd done. I was nervous. The last time I had gone to church, I felt the stares of other people more than I'd felt anything from the service.
But my mom's friend Marge had insisted that this new church, Open Arms Community, was different. I got to the door and took a deep breath. In the past year, God had helped me inch closer and closer to showing the world who I was, the Justin hidden under all that weight: funny, caring, easy to like.
Two horses were trapped on an icy mountain. Would help arrive in time?
You see the real me, Lord, I prayed. Please let these people see me too.
I could never have imagined being here a year ago. Back then I couldn't take two steps without gasping for breath, much less walk into a church. I was 16 years old and just found out I weighed 799 pounds.
I lay in a hospital bed, listening to it groan every time I shifted, feeling my left arm pulse with the IV the nurse had struggled to insert. I tried to sleep, tried to forget the terrible sadness I saw on my mother's face when I was weighed on the bed scale and the doctor said, "Justin, at this rate, you won't live another year."
I was always hefty, the biggest kid in my class ever since kindergarten. Freshman year of high school, I was lying in bed one night when my heart started pounding so hard I thought it would jump from my chest. Sweat poured down my forehead. I couldn't breathe. I ran to my parents' room, frightened. They rushed me to the emergency room.
"You had a panic attack," the doctor said. Even a little stress could trigger one. Soon they were happening almost every day.
Only one thing seemed to calm the panic: eating. I would wolf down chips, ice cream, whatever, and feel myself relax. I put on weight, fast. My parents cut my dinner portions, hid the junk food. That didn't stop me. I even dug out a box of cookies they'd hid under their bed. They quit buying snacks altogether, but then I just made myself a sandwich…or three.

"You're eating way too much," my dad warned. "You want to try my diet shake?" my mom offered.
"I'm your son!" I yelled. "Don't call me fat!"
But I knew how fat I was getting. Fat enough that I never looked in the mirror or stepped on a scale anymore. Still, food made me feel good in a way nothing else did. Friends? The panic attacks pretty much killed my social life. Church? "Come with us," my mom said. "It'll do you good."
But I felt people's eyes bore into me, judging me. School? The attacks sent me to the nurse so often I fell behind in my classes. Finally, my parents agreed to homeschool me. I stopped leaving the house. But even I was shocked when my parents finally forced me to see the doctor, and he sent me straight to a hospital in Pittsburgh.
That night, I lay in my hospital bed, staring at the ceiling. The ceiling was black, empty, kind of how I felt. Could my life ever mean anything?
I turned my head and, in the dim light, I spotted the Bible I'd brought with me. My parents always turned to God when things got to be too much. I wasn't sure that he'd care about someone like me, but I was desperate.
I slowly brought my arms together, careful not to tug out the IV, and joined my hands. "God, I'm putting my life in your hands," I said. "Save me." A strange peace settled over me. I closed my eyes and fell into a soothing sleep.
I went home with doctor's orders to see a nutritionist and a personal trainer. Good thing the trainer made house calls. "We'll start simple," he said at our first session. "Stand up. Walk from your living room to the bedroom." Walk? Wobbled was more like it. My heart drummed. My breath got short. I needed a snack. A rest. No! Instead I looked straight ahead, picturing God standing in front of me, urging me forward. You can do this. Step by wobbly step, I made it.
I wasn't out of the woods yet. I walked to the bathroom one day and crack! My foot went through the wooden floor. I felt an overwhelming shame.

The staff were so helpful! And the pool area was great
The balcony was a little bit too small
The hotel staff was wonderful. It felt like a family run hotel whose priority was making your stay the most valuable it could be. Free breakfast and Wi-Fi every morning. The breakfast spread was superb. In addition, the pool area was stunning. And all of this was only a five minute walk from downtown! I highly recommend this hotel!


text: Ok, so I did the pricing matrix (I had to redo it in microsoft). I went to the store and got my prices. I then divided them into units and marked ea. one up 3x, except for the chocopan which is pretty pricey, so I bumped it up 1.5x. I took my labor, multipled it by 5.15/hr. I'd be making a total of $7.45 profit if I only charge $1.50/cookie NOT individually wrapped. (Total order 24 cookies.) How much is reasonable though for a cookie? Thanks!

What LED lights do you use on your Brompton and how do you like them? Thanks!
What LED lights do you use on your Brompton and how do you like them? Thanks!
I'm using a China-made Magicshine-wannabe. Claimed at 1800 lumens. Can't confirm this but IT IS VERY BRIGHT! I just hope that the beam is better (more diffused).
Don't have a brompton, but I have a Niteride 600 that I bought at REI on sale for $109. Great light and I would recommend it to everyone. In fact, I would never want to ride at night again without a strong light (or during the day with a flashing bright light).
I'll probably buy a Magolite XL50 or something similar to mount to my helmet (with zip ties). Definitely not as great, but I'd like a helmet light without coughing up another $100. I am concerned about what it may due for helmet safety though.
their package combo with the hub dynamo is Shimano-halogen/or Schmidt-LED,
so the lower cost wheelset , and an LED upgrade headlight is a good combination.
the wired in steady on taillight, can be augmented
with A battery one on the top of the seatpost..
Not much room under the front bag, when used, for anything but a wired headlight..
I had a Cat Eye TL500 on the rear rack of my older Mk2 T Brompton.
They fitted a Bottle dynamo to those , I substituted the reflector.
which required fitting the L rack roller wheel on the outside of the rack.

Shimano hub dynamo with a B&M IQ Cyo. Bright!!!! And always ready, I love having dynamo lights and am in the process of adding them to all my (most frequently ridden) bikes.

I don't have a Brompton, but for generator powered lights I primarily use the B&M Cyo, Fly or Lyte.

In order for it to get to that point…that kid must be totally out of control. He must terrorize the neighborhood and lower everyones quality of life. Yet the letter writer is the bad guy…not the parents of that horrible kid….im glad i live in a rural area, where im not expected to cope with other peoples mistakes.
Troof you are an idiot and just as bad as the person who wrote this letter. The child cannot control his behavior and it is NEVER ok to say you should euthanize a child, special needs or not. That child is NOT a mistake and did NOT ask to be born with autism. I hope and pray you never have kids and if you do that they turn out better than you.
I have an autistic teenager. It is the ignorant people we deal with daily (like the letter writer and the one commenter below) that makes me wonder…should I kiss her, put her in my backseat and drive off a bridge? These are real thoughts parents of special needs children are faced with when the world seems cold and cruel to their babies.
At least have the balls to put a name to your sub-moronic post you fucking asshole. You're nothing but a piece of shit. The best thing your father could have done was fuck that whore of a mother you have right in her diseased ass….oh wait, he did. That's why you're such a piece of shit. Go kill yourself fucktard before someone does it for you.
In this world we live in, unfortunately, the child does not need to be out of control for someone to react like this. If the child HAD been out of control, one would think the letter writer would have mentioned specifics. "Your child was in my yard tearing up my garden!" or "Your child was playing in traffic!" or "Please keep your child from attacking my children!" But all this writer mentions is the noise the child makes. If the mother of the autistic child were simply chaining the child to a tree in the yard and going to work, I could understand a harsh backlash from the community, but a child playing outside is hardly an out of control, "horrible" kid. It should be noted that, thankfully, this was one person's reaction. She deso not mention other members of the community being upset, nor does she talk about a consensus among mothers there. SHe is venting, wrongly, about something that bothers her and perhaps her children. Her venom and vitriol suggest, but does not prove, that she is a very angry individual and it is unlikely that even if the child in question was completely well behaved and reasonably quiet that she would be content. Typically, I guage a person's credibility by the number of punctuation marks and insults in their delivery. The more there are, the less of an actual case they have to stand on. I have been around children of various mental handicaps, from mildly autistic or Down Syndrome to completely non-functioning. Sometimes they make noise. Sometimes they inturrupt. Sometimes it is annoying or distracting. But never have I seen anyone display as much rage or hate as this letter writer. All I can say, when confronted with this type of display, is that I will pray for this woman, and her family, and anyone else that deals with her. Hopefully she will gain the moral charcte, patience, and compassion to turn from the antagonism and spitefulness on display in that letter.
I can bring you up to date on this matter as it happened in Ontario, Canada: The lady who received the letter was the boy's grandmother who contacted both the police and the boy's mother (living in another city). I'm happy to say this has backfired on the creature who wrote the letter as the community has rallied around the boy and his grandmother, and the mother's phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from well wishers.
The matter is now being debated by the Crown Attorneys in Toronto to see what charges will be laid if and when the culprit is caught.
Let's hope this POS is caught and soon.
The only good part about this is that the rest of the neighborhood has been made aware of this letter & the mother has been getting support from them, so it should make it easy to find out who wrote that letter.
It's horrible to think that people like that actually live in our world :'(
I deal with the same type of behaviour as this child displays. I would never think of writing such a hateful letter
it scares me that a MOTHER can be so cruel and heartless. she should teach her kids to love and not judge, not to send this filth to other people cuz you dont like how her kid acts, and its more hurtful that he cant help it. sounds like she is the one who needs move away. goes to show some people have disabilities that you can see others you cant see and the disability this pathetic excuse for a mother is showing is far worse then any child can have.
Uhm, I do have a right to live my life in a way seen fit, If I own property, I do have a legal right to use of said property.
This letter is disgusting. I grew up around special needs children and they're a special gift from God. Sure some of them get loud, or touchy. I know parents (including my own mother) that would gladly adopt a special needs kid and wouldn't trade their own child for the word. If this was posted on MY door I'd pour sacrete down her pipes… But I'm a vengeful asshole.
As does this grandmother & the beyotch that wrote such trash.
Thing is that your rights end where another's begins.
No one has a right to tell you how to live on said property unless it infringes on the 'rights' of others in such a way that it violates laws, imperils others, destroys property of others, etc.
Nothing this parental trainwreck cited in her screed approaches that level.
I hope they either catch her & she suffers the public humiliation & vilification she deserves or she lives the rest of her days looking over her shoulder in fear of being discovered.
Treakle: horrific noise that stops others from quiet enjoyment of their property is what the person is talking about. A loud, out of control child is no different from loud music. The person that wrote that (IF its real) is fed up.
I am a professional behavior specialist and I work with intellectual and developmentally disabled persons on a daily basis. The letter writer in question is obviously reacting from fear of the unknown and not out of any relationship with the child or family in question. I can tell you from over 9 years of personal experience that IDD persons most of all want to be loved and respected for who they are…not what they are thought/perceived to be. Good for the community that rallied around the child and family. The letter-writer ought to try knowing a person before they start trying to stone them.
Troof: The person who wrote this had no problem with "Normal" noises, they even said music, dogs barking and babies crying were "normal" but because she doesn't think he is normal, he should be euthanized. He wasn't out of control either, he was just making loud noises while playing.
This letter is horrific and absolutely unacceptable… My godson is autistic and I love him dearly. That being said, I don't have children of my own, and I work third shift so I sleep during the day. If a child was outside yelling and screaming all the time, it would upset me, special needs or not. However, there are better ways of handling it, such as talking to the (in this case) grandmother to see if there was compromise that could be reached. If I did have children and the autistic child was scaring them, my thought would be to see if I could bring my children over to meet the autistic child, and hope that even if they didn't end up friends, they might at least better understand and therefore not be scared.
I'm just going to throw this out there because something seems off…I think this is fake and I hope I'm right.
Boo hoo all you pc morons. I dont want to listen to a spastic mongloid throwing balls in my yard either. I guarantee the neighbors feel the same but everyone acts pc when they dont want to cause they are scared. All you haters of this letter are nothing but pussified do gooders who have zero spine and probably think raising your voice to a kid is "terrible". I am god so listen to my words
This woman is disgusting. I hope the police find her ass.
I lived next door to an autistic kid who howled at the top of his lungs for HOURS! It drove me fucking NUTS! While I do think this letter is rude and extreme, I can understand her frustration.
Have no fears. If there's a place called hell, there must certainly be a special place for this kind of depravity. To call this person a heartless waste of human flesh and blood is the understatement of the year.
This world is truly scary. We've got a writer, who is enraged to the point of suggesting child homicide, and some real world class responses to that assertion. I would not pretend to make light of working nights, in a high population density neighborhood, and listening to this child scream all day long. I'm sure it is unpleasant. But come on? Killing people? There has to be a better solution. On another side note, I'm not really too fond of this cyber-witch hunt stuff either. The writer of the letter should be ashamed of her behaviour, but that's where it stops. Just move on, and help these people if you can. Cyber lynch mobs are not the way.
To compare the yelling of any playing child, whether that child is special needs or not, to loud and obnoxious music is quite frankly wrong, in my opinion. As somebody who has worked the night shift for many years, I do understand how loud children can be when they play. That being said, I also understand that working the night shift is my choice. The rude person who wrote that horrible, horrible letter should either insulate their house better to block out the sounds, or move to a different location. That particular child has just as much of a right to play outside as ANY other child! It's parents like that who are raising the next generation of bullies, and I do TRULY pity her and her kids. I will pray for them.
Also, something I found to be very interesting, the letter writer was very clear to point out that "crying babies, music, and even barking dogs are normal sounds in a residential neighborhood", but failed to classify playing children, or laughing children as normal sounds. I think that speaks VOLUMES about the type of life to which the letter writer is accustomed. I'm thinking that there just might not be very much playing, or laughing, or maybe even just happiness in general in her household. What a shame!
This message is poorly written and the spelling and grammar are way off, but the content is horrible, but what I do wonder, and I am not sure if others are wondering, is this an actual letter or is it a publicity stunt? If one of the neighbors did write this letter, it is truly vile and disgusting. I know sometimes dealing with children, particularly special needs children can be very frustrating, but a little understanding, patience and kindness are needed. Anyone can have a special needs child at anytime (accident, illness, etc). Everyone should be treated as they would like to be treated and I would be very upset if someone had posted such an ugly letter to me. I don't care how difficult a child is, no one deserves to be "euthanized". It is immoral and unethical and a horrible solution. This person needs to understand that some things are beyond our control and lashing out in this way is so inappropriate. I am glad the neighbors are being supportive of this family.
@coolestguyever What you call "PC" some call compassion and manners. I was raised better than to treat people that way, no matter how frustruating and upsetting the situation. I hate how you classless mannerless people accuse people with morals and values of being "PC", I'm young but was raised by a good strong family and we know how to act. We are not upset because it's the PC thing to do we are upset because this b***h that wrote this letter was a sick individual and I am scared for the safety of the children in her care. She has no right to complain about noises outside in the middle of the day, ESPECIALLY when they are coming from someone with a mental illness who cannot help the noises. She needs to turn the volume up on her Maury or Jerry Springer or shut her windows, I don't care what she does to fix it on her end, but she had no right to berate this family for their mentally ill child being loud. I agree with the others that say if he was that damaging she'd have cited actual occurances. The fact that she didn't tells me all I need to know, and the fact that she didn't sign it tells me she knew she was wrong from the get go.
I couldn't get a posting to take the other day but I'd like to echo what Melissa and Sah have said, I don't really believe this is a legitimate letter.
Just a feeling I have and it could be all wet, but I think the mother herself wrote this.
I agree with drm. Public humiliation should be the extent of the letter writer's punishment. Legal action is not warranted (no pun intended) nor necessary. How are those provincial human rights commissions workin' out for ya, Canada – restrict free speech much?
Hmmm. I understand if the kid is outside yelling and screaming for a long time. Or if the kid is inside and the houses are so close together that the noise still makes it outside.
I try to imagine what the parents and grandparents are going through.
The person who wrote the letter may have, oh, I don't know – MAYBE TALKED TO THE GRANDMOTHER instead of voicing their dissatisfaction the way they did. And as someone else pointe out, at least have the courage to sign your name. By sending it the way you did – you proved what a small minded coward you are.
The problem is the loud wailing. If it is a problem, call the police. If the police get called enough, Social Services will come take the child if the mother is obviously not tending to the child's needs and just letting the neighborhood watch. It was a very hateful letter yes, and as someone pointed out, it was not our of fear of the unknown. You, person, are an idiot. It's anger. It's total anger of the noise constantly happening all day long outside. if the entire neighborhood can hear it, it is a nuisance. Plain and simple. If you have a problem with someone, don't say they need to be killed. We all deserve (for the most part in here) to live. The letter was wrong, the anger is well-placed, but the directive to resolve is headed in the wrong direction.
Oh my god!! The mother writing that should be shot & her own kids taken away for even suggesting the child be put down along with everything else she wrote. The point of this isn't wheather the kid is out of control & not being supervised,it's about a neighbor that has no compassion for the disabled of any kind. If the kid wasn't being supervised when outside,then the neighbor could of written a letter of concern along with adding if the kid was doing something to her children or to her property. You can't keep a child like that quiet or out of trouble because they don't understand what propriate behavior is. Her letter was way beyond wrong..it was inappropriate,misguided,& she discriminates. She spoke for the entire neighborhood..I doubt all of them discriminate & that they understand special needs people. That stupid woman should of researched mental disabilities & what type of person this kid could be,then she could of understood inorder to approach the mother. If this hateful woman feels this way about people being different,then she is one step away from dealing with that kid in her own way. Plus I can imagine what type of parent she is & what she is teaching her children. Children imitate their parents behavior so this cow gave her children the excuse to do it themselves. Being the other parent I would of posted a letter on everyones door if I didn't find out who the neighbor was. It would of rudely told her as to what type of person she is & as to how she could go screw herself..among other things. I hope she found out who wrote it & beat the crap out of her. This hateful cow will be confronted with karma eventually by putting her in a wheelchair or do something to one of her kids. It's a shame that the kids take the fall for what the parent does,& lets a person like her even exist.
There's a special place in hell for peoplewith such narrow-minded evil thoughts. I hope the family moved and found peace in a better neighborhood.
THAT IS NOT OKAY! That fucking bitch and her "normal" children should just fucking leave. You DO NOT say that kind of shit. I fucking HATE people like that with a fiery passion. You just don't say that kind of shit. I would've gone over there and beat the fuck out of that insensitive fucking bitch!! I fucking hope she knows the meaning of pain, I don't ever wish bad upon anyone but that fucking stupid ass ignorant cunt deserves it! END OF DISCUSSION!!!!
I used to live next door to a challenged child, probably 12-15 years ago. not sure if he was autistic or what sort of problems he had. I just remember the child was a special needs kid.
I do remember he had a habit of howling uncontrollably. it wasn't unusual for this to take place for hours at a crack.
believe me, it gets really hard to listen to this over the course of a few years. sometimes it meant having to turn up my tv considerably louder. other times, it meant blasting the radio a bit louder then I wanted. it was really a case of not wanting to hear the howling all the time.
I think the kid's mom knew I was attempting to be patient. she knew if I turned up a few things at my place, it was the best option I could think of. she knew I avoided bitching as she was doing her best to help her kid.
if I remember right, she eventually sent her kid to a facility that could better help him. her kid simply grew to a point where she no longer could manage him, on her own.
The letter is a fake probably written by the autistic kid's mother.
This shithead of a "pissed off mother" should die a awful slow death. She can't even tell the difference between retarded and autistic. I have an autistic sister who is an amazing comic artist who may actually be considered for DC. I have 19 year old autistic friend who lives on her own and is smart as fuck and has the mental capacity of a genius. I have a close friend who is autistic who is so amazing at art, she could even be mistaken for an actual Nintendo artist.
Let's also remember Einstein was autistic. Honestly, bitches like this REALLY need to be erased from the face of the earth. Sickening.
I am autistic, married to an autistic with 4 very autistic kids that are friggin bonkers. The wife and I can control ourselves. Though I have some serious issues getting frustrated in public. My children could be the terrors of the universe. And everyone just thinks we are bad parents.
What do we do? Go out and ruin life for everyone and claim "Mah rights! Mah Rights!" Sometimes. Like once a month. Or once every 3 months. But mostly, we just do not go out. We moved to a Home School state, I work from home, and we just hide 24 hours a day. Sounds bad. But really, it is the only way we can live. And until we find a way to eliminate all the normal people out there, we have no other option, but to hide at home. It's just life. Can a mad with no legs just decide one day "Screw this! I'm not going out in my wheel chair anymore! I want to walk to work and go jogging and dancing!" No.
